How People Get Magazines For Free (Or Really Cheap!)
How I get Free Magazines
One of my most indulgent pleasures is reading magazines. Sometimes the information is useful, sure, but the truth is that I mostly read magazines for the light entertainment which they provide. And I find that when things are really stressful in my life, I sometimes create more stress for myself by increasing my personal debt through impulsive purchases of items like magazines. After all, buying magazines right off the stands may be a quick fix when you need a mental escape from the world, but it can get pricey if you aren't careful.
Recently, after realizing that I was wasting my money on magazines, I vowed to stop buying them. I bet you can guess how long that lasted. Yup, one store trip into my first bad day and I was armed with all of my favorites. So I decided that the cold turkey approach wasn't right for me and set about trying to find a way to get my magazine fix and not spend my money. Surprisingly, it didn't take long. I haven't bought a magazine off of the shelf since but I haven't had to go without my favorite indulgence either.
Here's how I get magazines for free or at least really cheap:
- I order unknown magazines. Remembering back to the days when I was into alternative press, I recalled the personally made "zines" which used to fill my mailbox. Produced primarily by youngsters, they provide great light entertainment, fresh information and low-cost reading material. They sometimes only cost the stamps it takes to get them sent to you. Do an internet search for "zines", "zine distros" and "zine conventions" to find some that you like.
- I beg, borrow and barter. I ask for magazine subscriptions as gifts from people at holidays so that I can get the brand-name magazines I really like at no cost. I ask my friends with magazine subscriptions to give me their leftovers. (Even my doctor lets me take some home with me when they're getting old.) Barring that, I compile the stacks of things I have to get rid of (clothes, CDs, unused notebooks) and let everyone on my social networking lists know that I'll trade them for magazines.
- I read magazines online. Same information as many of the regular magazines and only a click of the button away.
- I carefully check out available free magazines subscriptions when they are offered. Publications want you to read them, therefore they sometimes offer free trial subscriptions or they offer subscriptions in exchange for your completion of surveys and the like. There are sometimes hidden catches and there are sometimes steps which must be taken to prevent added cost (such as canceling subscriptions before trials run out) but by paying close attention to them, I have gotten free magazine subscriptions which worked for me.
- I check the "free" section of classified posts. I am a big fan of acquiring anything for free, so I know that there are classified posts for "free" things all of the time. Craigslist, which is one of the biggest classified ad sites online, has a "free" section under their "for sale" ads. Magazines are frequently listed here, so as long as I can get myself transported to where they need to be picked up, I can get some good ones. This has been the best method I've found for getting turned on to magazines I might not otherwise have noticed but really enjoy.
Saving money requires the use of some basic common sense. This is true of getting free magazines in the same way it's true of any other money saving technique. But if you look around, ask around and notice the details of the transactions, you can meet your magazine-indulgence needs without spending much money at all.
- Thanks for the comment, Jody. I'm not sure how faoulbus my life is but it's definitely fun. Thank you! I'm with you on the games. I think they feel really forced and most ppl I know do not like them. I think food and drinks are enough to bring people together. Sometimes it's more painful if you don't know anyone and have to interact by playing games. It's like a team-building exercise at work!
I told my grtdhmoaner how you helped. She said, "bake them a cake!"
Great hub....I love magazines and especially when they are free. Good work.
The link that I have enclosed has a direct link to my other blog (whose URL is too long) which lists most available options for getting magazines for miles.
Your post here on bartering and free mags is actually a well written detailed list. Kudos to you. Actually I need to get rid of my mags, maybe I will post them on the local freecylce, haha peace. I am not trying to promote my hub/site, magsformiles has been down for a while, so people need accurate info, just helping em out.. peace
This is great advice! I got a letter in the mail from US Airways about 2 months ago, saying I had to use my 5000 or so miles soon or they would expire (since you need about 25,000 to go anywhere, the 5000 were useless). However, they gave me the option of getting a year's subscription to a bunch of magazines of my choosing, for about 500-1200 miles apiece. I now get about 6 subscriptions to stuff I want to read, effectively free, because those miles would have gone to waste anyway.

To Leah,
I think you got the right def. for jetlag. But, when people talked about jetlag to me, they often talked about the effect of time change AND fatigue due to time change and sitting too long on a long flight. I often travel for a very short time, even on long trip, that is why I seldom feel jetlag, just a little tired. Think about me leaving Dallas, Texas on friday at 5pm for a flight to London, Gatwick. I get there around 7 in the morning Saturday, after about 10 hour eat and sleep on the plane. I visit the London for a couple hours and get back to Heathrow airport for a 2:20pm flight to Tokyo. Get in Tokyo at 9 am Sunday, after about say, 10 hours eat and sleep again on the plane. Visit Tokyo for 5 or 6 hours, and get back to the airport, catch a flight leaving at 6:10pm for Dallas, Texas. Get in Dallas at 3:30pm on Sunday still. I don't think I'll get jetlag on such a short-time long trip.
I wonder if one traveled to Alaska around June and experience the midnight sun, if he or she would experience jetlag, after staying for a few days in which you don't have nighttime!

In my new "Think Again" column, I apparently explain that "former New York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller's explanation of why he supported the Iraq war doesn't inspire much confidence in our punditocracy." It's "It's Not What Bill Keller Believed About Iraq—It's Who" and you can read it here.
Now here's Reed:
Reliable Sources?
By Reed Richardson
Last night's Republican presidential candidate debate, coupled with the upcoming address on President Obama's jobs plan later this evening, has all the feel of a presidential campaign finally in full swing. And clearly the folks over atPolitico couldn't be happier, as the site's front page today offers up a veritable orgiastic feast of speech previews and blow-by-blow debate reviews. None of it more foreboding of where campaign journalism may be heading over the next 15 months, perhaps, than Politico's Twitter's-eye-view wrap-up of the GOP debate.
Written by one Juana Summers, this piece notably goes on for nearly 1,000 words with nary a mention of any candidate's actual position from the debate on a serious matter of policy. Instead, Summers views the whole debate through the narrow prism of viewer and pundit Tweets, condensing down further the typical, context-free debate recap form into something that ominously suggests even the old, seven-second soundbite is quickly being cast aside for the 140-characters-or-less micro-thoughts. (I'd also add that conspicuously absent from Summers' curation of last night's debate Tweets is fellow Politico blogger Maggie Haberman's laughably sycophantic paean to debate moderator John Harris, who also just happens to be her boss: "Needs reiterating – Harris is doing a great, great job at the GOP debate.")
As I mentioned, there are numerous other post-debate story angles on Politico today, but read them all and you'll still be hard pressed to understand why, for example, Social Security really isn't a Ponzi scheme, despite Texas Governor Rick Perry's claims. Or why Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann's vacuous non-answer on deporting undocumented immigrants exposed her once again as a little more than a demagoguing xenophobe. Or why taking a flight in Texas Congressman Ron Paul's ideal vision of America would be a lot like playing Russian roulette. According toPolitico's editorial vision, all the policy repercussions of what the GOP candidates espoused last night only matter as background to the more important narrative: how they affect the horserace.

Is there a secret spot to picture the Yarra? I usually go either to the area around Federation Square or the opposite end (I think opposite the Casino with the helipad).
Not sure about a secret spot, it all depends on what you want to photograph. There are plenty and varied spots on both sides of the river, as well as from many of the bridges.
This was taken on another visit from the opposite end of the CBD from where I took the images above
Great set of pictures of 'Melb at night'.
Water very still but it is summer in a 4 seasons in one day city.
Love it.
Thank you!
Yes, although we can get 4 seasons in one day, winter is not much different to summer in Melbourne when you get a nice day. The last image I posted above your post was taken in the middle of winter, as was this one.

Update: "Rodger, Skyler and I hope that everyone had an amazing summer! Before we head into the chaos of fashion season, we wanted to take a moment to OFFICIALLY confirm that we are expecting another child," Zoe, 42, wrote on her website Tuesday.
"We are beyond excited for Skyler to have a sibling and for us to fall in love all over again. We feel incredibly blessed. Thank you all for your constant love and support of our family."
Originally posted June 20: Rachel Zoe's latest collaboration is on its way — she's pregnant!
The celebrity stylist turned fashion designer and her husband Rodger Berman are expecting their second child, sources confirm to PEOPLE.
The couple — who tied the knot in 1996 — are already parents to 2-year-old son Skyler Morrison.
In January, Zoe admitted she hadn't closed the door on the idea of another baby.
"I'm so happy with where I am right now," she told PEOPLE. "Who knows? I never say never to anything. Who knows what life will bring? We'll see."
One thing's for sure: if baby on the way ends up being a girl, Zoe may finally have an excuse to stop stock-piling Skyler's wardrobe.
"Listen, I know it's excessive. It's disgusting and I'm embarrassed," Zoe told The Hollywood Reporter. "My only excuse is that I didn't have a girl. I have a living doll with no opinion right now."
A rep for Zoe had no comment.

text: Tweeder 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2009 I largely agree with that other than the fact that Wall is being portrayed as a "me first" type of player when he isn't. The fact that it is taking him longer to make his decision is giving him a bit of a bad wrap that isn't really deserved. And...Roy Williams didn't go after Rose because he had Ty Lawson and didn't go after Beasley because he had Hansbrough. Not to mention nobody really "went after" Beasley because he was just following around coaches that he knew...his recruitment never really opened up. maybe I shouldn't have protrayed him as the "me" first player, because honestly I know nothing about the kid except from what I have read n here and just what I have been reading and the media is protraying him as this type of player which I think is coming more from his "Handlers."

Come and sit with me for a moment. I am in a room, in a Middle Eastern country, and I am talking to a government official. He mentions the abuses at Abu Ghraib, the U.S.-run prison outside Baghdad, and what this has done to America's image in his region. He smiles at what he says, for he is a man who appreciates irony. Of course, this same thing happens in his country, he says. Inwardly, I smile back, smug in my confidence that Abu Ghraib or no Abu Ghraib, America is a different sort of nation. It now seems I was a bit too smug.
The recent revelations that the Justice Department prepared memos parsing what is and what is not torture brings to mind regimes that, well, I would rather not bring to mind. These are the torturers of the world, although they deny it, and to bolster their lie they produce copious laws against the practice.
Attorney General John Ashcroft, whose Justice Department prepared the memos -- one of them running to 50 pages and signed by Jay S. Bybee, then head of the Office of Legal Counsel -- assured the Senate the other day that the memos are of no consequence. They were only internal Justice Department stuff, the scribblings of lawyers and -- most important -- the president has not "directed or ordered" torture, Ashcroft said. In another administration, such an assurance would be enough for me, but given this one's cavalier approach to civil liberties, I have to note that "directed" or "ordered" is not the same as condoned. That's what I wonder about.
I wonder, too, why the much-pressed Justice Department -- all those news releases to get out extolling Ashcroft -- went to all the trouble of coming up with definitions of torture that might be permissible under U.S. law when no one was supposedly considering torturing al Qaeda prisoners in the first place. A 50-page memo is not an hour's work. It's clear someone had torture in mind. The Defense Department and the CIA were looking for guidance.
In a way, you can understand why. The memos followed -- sometimes by more than a year -- the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. What if the CIA got its hands on a terrorist who it thought might have information about coming attacks? What should it do? What could it do? Could it, say, torture the guy a little bit -- not too much, mind you -- so he would cough up the information? In one of the memos leaked to The Post, the Justice Department said yes, precisely -- torture, but only a bit. "For purely mental pain or suffering to amount to torture, it must result in significant psychological harm of significant duration, e.g., lasting for months or even years." This is a very odd -- shall we say "tortured" -- definition.
My dictionary, compiled by lexicographers and not, thank God, by lawyers, knows precisely what torture is. "To bring great physical or mental pain upon another," is one of several definitions. Simple. Had the CIA or the Pentagon turned to a Boy Scout troop or a gathering of Future Farmers of America, they would have said something similar. They also might say that, given human nature, it is as preposterous to talk about a little bit of torture as it is to talk about a little bit pregnant. This sort of stuff isn't possible to contain, and before you know it, a little torture is a lot of torture -- and who's to say at the moment whether the psychological "harm" cited in the memo is going to last a week or a lifetime? A little bit of torture can go a long, long way.
The Bush administration constantly reminds us that there's a war on. That's wrong. There are two. One is being fought by soldiers in combat, and the other is being fought for the hearts and minds of people who are not yet our enemies. However badly the administration has botched the first war -- where, oh where, is Osama bin Laden? -- it has done even worse with the second. It has jutted its chin to the world, appeared pugnacious and unilateralist, permitted the abuse of POWs and others at Abu Ghraib, and now toyed in some fashion with torture. The Bush administration has shamed us all, reducing us to the level of those governments that also have wonderful laws forbidding torture, but condone it anyway.
It is commonly said that we are a nation of laws, not men. And we are. But beyond the laws, we are also a nation of men and women with a common ethic. Some things are not American. Torture, for damned sure, is one of them.

By SCN Candidate Melissa Fisackerly
Marie Flowers, SCN, invited our house to take part In her ministry event called Embrace A Child breakfast given by CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates). The morning started off with a warm welcome from the CASA team in Louisville. It was nice to hear one of the judges speak on behalf of CASA. She spoke about how much it means to her and how important it is to them that children in the foster system have a CASA. I was especially moved by the testimony given by a woman who was given a CASA in her life and is now an advocate for her children. Her story is one of too many circumstances that is right before our eyes.
The mission of CASA in so many words is to help, support, show the children what love is and find "forever homes" for each child that is in the foster care system. I have not had much experience with CASA in my life until a few years ago when a family member was a CASA for a child. I learned a little through my aunt's experience of advocating. My parents fostered siblings who had a CASA. We did not have much interaction with the CASA volunteer but realized the importance of a CASA volunteer. In the foster children's lives. I may not have had experience with CASA but I have had experience about adoption and foster care system. I am one of nine adopted in my larger family and one of five in my immediate family.Three of my siblings were in foster care in Guatemala and my youngest brother was in foster care in Hammond, Louisiana by my parents. My four siblings did not have a CASA but were in foster care system for various reasons. The event opened my eyes even more in recognizing that there is a child always in need of love, care, and support. I was grateful for the reminder that there is someone bigger than me!
Earlier this month, I got to ride in the St. Patrick's Day parade in Louisville, Kentucky. Marie invited me to ride in the parade and represent for CASA. What a fun day! With Marie you know you are going to have a BLAST and that is exactly what we did. This was another good experience for me because it gave me more time to get to know the organization. I enjoyed listening to the Louisville CASA team share some of their experiences with me. They said some of their cases are easy while many are difficult. I noticed the ending of their sharing they would say, the goal is to find a forever home for each child. Each time I heard that ending it would tug at my heart. It made me think of my four siblings and what their situations could have been especially my youngest brother, Luke. Riding on the CASA float was not only a chance to ride in a parade but a way to get the word out by telling the people on the sides of the streets that WE NEED CASA VOLUNTEERS. I was grateful for this day and to spend it with Marie as we sat in the back of a pick up truck.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
What you need to know about LED Underwater lighting.
Due to the formation of the beam of LED lights, they work very well under water. As well as being enviromently friendly the main attraction is they will save you up to 90% on energy costs. Theyre easy to fit and most of the time you can just replace the light it's self. No need to replace the fitting or the guts.
How much will I save in energy?
If you were to have four conventional 300w underwater lights in your pool and you had them on for 8 hours a day you'd be looking at a daily running cost of around £1.50 a day. (15pence per kwh) If you were to use the lights every day of the year then that would be over £500 a year you'd spend on conevntial lighting as opposed to just £50 a year using LED lightings.These are very rough costs but you can see the savings add up in no time at all.
To clearly light a pool it is recommended to install a light every20m2of water surface. In swimming pools that are especially deep, a light is required for every 25m3of water volume.In order to prevent glare, the lights should be installed so that they face away from the residence or usual view of the swimming pool.In the event that lighting is used in competition or training pools,the lights should be installed on the sides rather than the ends of the pool to prevent glare on the swimmers. DO NOT install thelights at the ends of the pool if the pool is to be used for racing.

A remarkable story of transformation and challenge on several levels, some completely unexpected.
Elevated by fantastic performance footage of Sa and his young protégés singing, dancing and rhythmically banging on cans, plastic bottles or anything else that can be fashioned into a drum -- and a cultural revolution.
A movie that is compelling and moving. It's also an artfully filmed and edited study of a real 'rhythm nation.'
All in all, the movement turned out to be a godsend for Rio natives, but the film is merely a pep rally.

Motorola Xoom priced at $800 at a minimum, according to Verizon leak -- Engadget
Whoa.....definitely NOT worth it!!!!!
You know the saying.
"A Fool and their money are soon parted"
Ditto that...US$800 for the Motorola Xoom Tablet? It had better be @ least 64Gig and have wifi/3G capability. That is a huge price tag to have freedom to customize, flash capability, front & back cameras, memory expansion slots.
I have an iPad that has been working for me now for over six months. Ive spent every day on this device. It has served me well. While, I am hopeful that the Motorola Xoom succeeds as a worthy competitor to the iPad, but unlike Apple, where you get 6 different models for 6 different prices, an $800 price tag doesn't seem to me like Motorola wants to sell them to everyone.
Engadget went back and saying price point will likely be $700 for 32gb.
Cnet: Reasons the Motorola Xoom may fall flat
Reasons the Motorola Xoom may fall flat | Crave - CNET
Thanks Xune For Posting
Thank you for this article. I hope Motorola heeds these wise comments and not fall into the greed trap. It is ironic that many Android fans who have posted such glowing comments of the freedom to do what you like with this product would end up with a standard bearer that would only be available to the elite. If only a few people can afford it, would that not be the ultimate close end operating system?
STILL too expensive.
Yeah, I think if I can sum up why the Xoom will suck in one word: Verizon. That's pretty much all that needs to be said.
You guys do realize that the tech specs of the Xoom are much better than the iPad and it's $20 cheaper than the 32GB 3G iPad right? So you should also say the iPad is too expensive. Also, the $700 price is unsubsidized, if you get a data plan the price is expected to be $299. Also the Wi-Fi version will be cheaper as well.
How will Verizon make it suck? They have already said it will be a stock Android OS and not skinned by Verizon. If you are talking about the service, AT&T is MUCH worse than Verizon.
I do think the price is competitive although I personally feel both tablets are overpriced given the hardware inside. I would have liked to see Motorola come in with a little lower price, but considering what 3G enabled iPad models retail for this price seems to be on the mark.

This week's question for The Rhino Room was:
How Can Christians be Intentional About Hospitality?
Pastor Nicolas Alford answered:
Christian intentionality about hospitality is not complicated, we're just complacent.
Invite people into your home on Sunday afternoon for a meal. No one cares if you dusted. Talk to people at church. If they're visiting, be welcoming and helpful. When someone invites you into their home, make every reasonable effort to accept. Incorporate fellow Christians into your daily life. Build real relationships with unbelievers so that they know they are actual people to you, not mere evangelism projects.
This is not rocket science, and yet Peter has to tell us to do it without grumbling (1 Peter 4:9). Therefore, if we aren't showing hospitality we are probably not lacking for opportunity or knowledge, we are probably lacking in motivation. The immediately preceding verse in 1 Peter tells us to keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. Hospitality is really just living out that love.

This year the first night of Hanukka is December 24th (Christmas Eve). More than ever important to understand that Hanukka is NOT the Jewish Christmas! Just as Christmas is NOT the Christian Hanukka.
They are two wonderful and different winter holidays of two sister religions. BTW a great, meaningful, and really classy gift for either occasion (Hanukka or Christmas) is the fabulous Dry Bones Passover Haggadah.

Tomorrow night there will be "End of the World" parties. Friday night there will be even more. Unfortunately, this is something that society has embraced. The idea that "life is short, live it up" has taken over our culture. It has even crept into Christian culture. It has inspired individuals to present the Gospel as "Your Best Life Now" and "Everyday a Friday". It is a deeply saddening situation, and one that I wish to combat.
December 21, 2012 has become a really big deal. People will be celebrating, they will be living their lives up to the fullest, and there will be much indulging in sin. But, there should be no surprise. This is exactly what I would expect from the world, because they are separated from the truth. However, my surprise lies in the Christian community. We should be living every day as if it is the end of the world! Why? Because nobody knows the day when Christ will return (Matthew 24:36); and who says that day couldn't be tomorrow? For that reason we should be living our lives as if Christ is coming back tomorrow, because he is returning at a time that we don't expect (Matt 24:44).
It's almost funny to me how the church has responded to the Mayan calender. While much of the world has recognized the potential threat, the church has fallen asleep. We have grown numb to the possibility of the world ending so abruptly. We have neglected Christ warning in Matthew 24:42, "Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming." Because of this, I want to urge you to wake up! Do not become lethargic in your walk with Christ.
Finally, I will leave you with this thought. If Christ were to come back tonight, would you be satisfied with your last day on earth? Would you be pleased with how you lived your last 24 hours on earth? Did you spend that time glorifying God, and celebrating Christ? These are the questions that we need to answer every day. We don't know when Christ is coming back, but we need to be ready. God bless.

Two Philadelphia-based companies have been charged with running a website used by prostitutes and escort services to advertise, federal prosecutors announced Tuesday.
National A-1 Advertising Inc. and R.S. Duffy Inc. agreed to plead guilty to money laundering conspiracy and will forfeit $4.9 million, pay a $1.5 million fine and serve 1 1/2 years of probation, according to court documents filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Williamsport.
The companies, both of which share the same Philadelphia address, operated Escorts.com beginning in 2007. Prostitutes and escort services paid to advertise on the site, while customers were charged subscription fees.
The companies have forfeited the domain name.
National A-1 also operates phone-sex lines and a pornographic website. Those portions of its business are unaffected by its plea agreement in the escorts.com case, according to court documents.
The government said it reserves the right to prosecute individuals associated with the companies.
National A-1's attorney declined to comment. Duffy's attorney did not immediately return a phone call.
The Associated Press reported this year that a Philadelphia company associated with National A-1, PrimeTel Communications, had gained control over several million toll-free numbers in the U.S. and Canada. The toll-free numbers redirect callers to erotic chat lines operated by National A-1.
Both firms share an office building and common ownership and list many of the same people as executives or business contacts.
The plea agreement filed Tuesday said PrimeTel will not be prosecuted by the federal government.

So Kenya. Might as well be Khazikstan...I don't know anything about either one of them!
I do not know much about Kenya and I figure it will be hard to pray for people if I can't even pinpoint them on the map! I can get you to Africa and then maybe the correct side of the continent, but without cheating, I can't even tell you where it's at on the map.
For the rest of the week I am going to encourage you to join me in learning a bit about Kenya. If you've been there or have any knowledge you want to share...please leave comments!!! Or send me your own pictures from your trip and I will post them!
At the end of the day it doesn't matter how much I know though, it matters what I do with that knowledge. It doesn't matter how much money I give, what matters is whether my heart is truly engaged with the world around me, wrapped around the suffering of others, and inspired out of compassion and calling to be apart of the change that must occur.
This week it is a small step...prayer for the hurting nation of Kenya.
We can all start there and hopefully by the end of the week you will be inspired to more action! At which point, I have lots of really cool ways for you to get involved with helping the world around you. One includes buying a pair of shoes for yourself! Another includes the first ever Cupcakes, Sprinkles, and Other Happy Things (this blog!) Mocha Club team, which will allow us to join (everyone who shares life together on this quirky site) each other in supporting a really amazing mission project in Uganda. How cool would that be, a mission that we all support together and can then talk about? That's coming on Friday!
So here we go...stepping outside our own world and visiting somewhere else with the intention of wrapping our hearts around their beauty and suffering and being open to learn, grow, pray earnestly, and give.

Websphere users are accustomed to using embedded Websphere JDBC drivers from DataDirect, however they are no longer available in version 18.104.22.168. Not a problem! You can get the latest and greatest JDBC drivers directly from Progress DataDirect that IBM continues to recommend in their data source configurations.
This tutorial will help you configure the SQL Server JDBC Driver in WAS 7.0 so that you can resume providing superior connectivity for your applications. If you are upgrading from 6.1 to 7.0, you should check out the WebSphereConnectJDBCDriverConversion command to migrate the existing data sources from the embedded WebSphere Connect JDBC driver to the Progress DataDirect Connect JDBC driver in the Websphere Application Server V7 Migration Guide.
The preliminary steps are:
1. Install IBM WebSphere Application Server 22.214.171.124
2 . Install Progress DataDirect Connect for JDBC using the instructions in the Progress DataDirect Connect for JDBC Installation Guide. You can download a free, 15-day trial of the IBM-certified Progress DataDirect drivers (including DB2, Oracle, Sybase, MySQL and Salesforce) from http://www.datadirect.com/products/jdbc/index.html
3. Next, launch the Integration Solutions Console:
Under Guided Activities, select "Connecting to a database"
Configure new credentials for secure database access
Configure a new JDBC Provider, and select Database Type as "SQL Server" and Provider Type as "DataDirect ConnectJDBC type 4 driver for MS SQL Server".
Note: If you have installed the Connect for JDBC 4.2 drivers, you will be using type 5 drivers despite the provider type string.
Click next and enter the Class Path:
Click Next and Finish.
You can skip the section to configure Websphere variables since DataDirect Connect drivers are pure java.
Configure a data source
Click on the JDBC provider created above and then Click "Data Sources" to create a New data source.
Enter JNDI name and click Next. Then enter database specific properties for the data source:
Select the Component-managed authentication alias configured above.
Click Finish and then save and synchronize the changes; and restart the servers.
Click on the data source "Test connection" button.
If you need to configure the providers for performance after using the performance wizard, click on the "Custom properties" to view and configure additional connection properties.
The samples installed with WAS work against the embedded Derby database; and I tested by changing the data sources and creating similar tables in the new data source. It would be great to hear if anyone knows of an out-of-box query sample that can be easily used against any data souce.

Arguably the UK's finest purveyors of Melodic Rock music, FM will release their new studio album 'Heroes & Villains' on April 17th in Europe and April 21st in North America.
'Heroes & Villains' is FM's first album release since signing to Frontiers Music Srl, and follows the band's highly acclaimed 2014 E.P. 'Futurama' and sell-out UK arena tour with Foreigner and Europe. FM's UK tour kicks-off at in Bristol on Friday, 1st May, and includes dates in Wolverhampton, Portsmouth, Nottingham, Glasgow, Newcastle and Manchester, with the final night of the tour taking place at London's O2 Shepherds Bush Empire on Sunday, 10th May and will be anticipated by the band's eagerly awaited performance at the Frontiers Rock Festival in Trezzo sull'Adda (Milan) Italy on April 11th.
The fourth album since FM reformed in 2007, "Heroes and Villains" sees FM staying true to their musical legacy, offering their classic sound updated, with great songwriting and performances spiced-up by the golden voice of lead vocalist Steve Overland. Self-produced, the recording session took place at Tremolo Studios, before being mixed and mastered at Abbey Road Studios.
FM was formed in the summer of 1984 in London. The band was originally composed of the SAMSON pair of bassist Merv Goldsworthy and drummer Pete Jupp, the Overland brothers – vocalist/guitarist Steve and lead guitarist Chris Overland, both formerly of WILDLIFE, and keyboardist Philip Manchester, also known as Didge Digital. The band initially wrote six songs. In December of that year they secured a recording contract with the CBS/Portrait label, and promptly set off on tour in Germany with Meat Loaf.
In the U.S., they are often referred to as FMUK. They have released eleven albums to date. Two of those, Indiscreet and Tough It Out reached the UK Albums Chart, whilst five of the band's singles made inroads into the UK Singles Chart

What's almost just-as-fun as the wedding??
Aaron and I spent an entire Saturday running around to register at our different stores. Aaron was DREADING this. I'm sure if I asked
"Do you want to paint your nails or do our registry, which would you pick"
he'd probably pick the painted nails.
... and then we actually went registering and he had just as much fun as I did :-)
Macy's was having a registry event which was
They had *gasp* NOTHING BUNDT CAKE!
I was all over that booth.
We had a blast on a rainy PNW Saturday going to different stores and signing up for gifts. We really didn't pick that much since we already have most things we need. But it was still fun. Our registries are:
Where did you all register? Any advice?

Related read: Doctor's orders: Don't panic about flu
The Davis family has already been through something many families will likely face this fall: 17-year-old Joshuah Davis came down with a likely case of novel influenza A H1N1 in June.
The family, unable to get a confirmatory test, dealt with it at home, and he recovered after a few days of bed rest.
Joshuah, the starting quarterback for Westside High, picked up the flu at Boys State, an annual event for rising high school seniors sponsored by the American Legion at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro. He started feeling ill on the last day, June 20. "My roommate ... left early because he was sick," Joshuah said.
Officials with the Southeast Health District, which covers Statesboro, reported at least two lab-confirmed cases of novel H1N1 flu from the camp, spokesman Roger Naylor said.
When Joshuah's parents came down to pick him up that Saturday, they knew right away that something was wrong.
"He didn't look good," said his mother, Claudia. "And on the way home, he slept in the car the whole time. And then he went to bed, and I took his temperature and it was 104."
Joshuah stayed in bed the next four days while his mother fed him regular doses of Tylenol to cut down on his fever and tried to keep him hydrated with a sports drink and water.
In addition to the usual flulike symptoms of fever, cough and congestion, Joshuah was also battling nausea and diarrhea. Those kinds of symptoms seem to be more common with swine flu than seasonal influenza, said James Wilde, an associate professor of emergency medicine and pediatrics at the Medical College of Georgia and a member of the state pandemic flu task force.
It wasn't until a co-worker with a child at Georgia Southern got an e-mail about the confirmed novel H1N1 cases the next Tuesday that Mrs. Davis even thought of the virus. She took Joshuah to Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center that night, and a doctor examined him in the emergency room.
"All of the symptoms and his upper respiratory problems he had and the diarrhea and all of that he said really points towards the swine flu," Mrs. Davis said.
But because the illness was passing, the doctor told them there was no point in getting a lab test.
"He said it looks like he's over the worst and just keep doing what we're doing," Mrs. Davis said.
Joshuah, who is back at football practice, seems nonchalant about his bout with the virus.
"At times it was hard to breathe," he said. "I got over it quickly, though. I guess because I slept a lot and I sweated a lot in my sleep."
His mother is grateful no one else in the family got it, in part because they were careful about handwashing and keeping their distance from Joshuah. It makes her wonder a little about what all the fuss was about.
"I just thought because swine flu, everybody made such a big deal, I thought it would be worse than what it was," she said. "I didn't think much of it, really."

Doctor's orders: Don't panic about flu
The Augusta Chronicle takes a look at the science being brought to bear on the novel influenza A H1N1 pandemic. Some scientists in Georgia are helping to track the virus and are looking for key genetic changes that could cause it to become more deadly. Others are looking at how influenza infects the body and how the body responds. Some are looking at potential new techniques, from longer-lasting vaccines to new ways to target the virus, which might help in the future.

Sample Program for Compliance with "Red Flag Rules" Regarding Identity Theft
The following Identify Theft policies are hereby adopted by the [insert name or title of key decision makers, for example, management, Board of Directors] of [insert the name of your practice] (the Practice):
In this program, "Staff" refers to the Practice's workforce members (including non-paid staff such as interns and volunteers) who are not psychologists or mental health professionals (Practitioners). However, if the Practice only has Practitioners, they will perform the Staff duties in Section A.
A. Staff will ask patients to provide identification at the first session
Staff will request documentation of identity and make copies of the documentation provided:
Driver's license, passport or other government issued photo ID.
If the photo ID does not have the current address, Staff will request a utility bill, lease or other evidence of current address.
Current insurance, Medicare or Medicaid card (for patients relying on such reimbursement).
Staff will verify that the ID photo looks like the patient and that other descriptions in the ID, like height and weight, appear to be correct.
Copies of this information shall be kept in the patient's file or in another secure
B. Practitioners and Staff shall be alert to and act on evidence of fraud
Staff shall be alert to suspicious activity such as:
Identification documents that appear altered or forged
Information provided by client is inconsistent e.g., information on one form of identification submitted is different from information on another form of identification (such as age, address, occupation)
Suspicious change of address notice (for example a move from an expensive to an inexpensive neighborhood)
Evidence that your paper or electronic records may have been compromised, for example, you discover that a Staff member accessed patient files without authorization, or that locked patient files have been broken into.
Staff shall act upon suspicious activities or evidence of identity theft as appropriate by:
Checking with other members of the Practice regarding suspicious events, for example, if Staff receives a suspicious change of address notice (see B1c.), Staff will ask the practitioner treating that patient to consider whether such a change is consistent with information the patient has reported in psychotherapy.
Contacting the patient to verify suspicious information
If there is still a suspicion of identify theft after taking the verification steps above, contacting
local law enforcement after obtaining patient permission.
Changing passwords on electronic record accounts that may have been compromised
Notifying patients where it appears that they may have been victims of identity theft.
C. The Practice will respond to reports of identity theft
D. The Practice will ensure that staff and Practitioners are trained on implementing the policies
Staff and Practitioners will be trained in the implementation of these policies.
Staff and Practitioners will be given a copy of this policy to read and initial.
E. The Practice will have business associates sign Red Flag Agreements
The Practice will determine whether it has business associates who handle patient information, e.g., billing services, collection agencies, accountants. It will ask those business associates to do one of the following:
Sign an addendum to the business associates contract that the Practice already has in place with that company as part of HIPAA Privacy Rule/Security Rule compliance; or if no business associates contract is in place,
Sign a standalone agreement, or
Provide a copy of its own Red Flags Program and state that such Program meets the requirements of the Red Flags Rules.
F. The Practice will re-evaluate these policies periodically
The Practice will annually re-evaluate whether these policies are effective and appropriate for detecting and preventing identity theft in light of the Practice's actual experience with actual or suspected identity theft and in light of any new information learned by the Practice regarding identity theft risks.
PLEASE NOTE: Legal issues are complex and highly fact-specific and require legal expertise that cannot be provided by any single document. In addition, laws change over time and vary by jurisdiction. The information in this document should not be used as a substitute for obtaining personal legal advice and consultation prior to making decisions regarding individual circumstances.

First album
Okay so this week I'm going to talk about the first album I remember buying myself. Of course I've had albums bought for me as a child but I count this one as I physically picked it up and went to pay for it, under my own initiative. If that makes sense?
Anyway, my first abum was Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys by My Chemical Romance, which I bought in 2010, a few months after it came out. I first got into My Chemical Romance earlier that year, and initially didn't like them. However this had to do with just starting high school, and trying to fit into the popular groups, therefore convincing myself I liked pop music/chart music…which I knew deep down I didn't. Then Dad started to listen to them, playing Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge and The Black Parade on a regular basis, and I gradually began to like them. I remember the music video for 'Na Na Na' being released, and after watching it I said, 'Oi Dad! That weird band you like have released a new video!'. After listening to that song and a few others, I grew to love the album and MCR in general.
The upbeat sound of Danger Days, with its electronic elements, commentary by Dr Death-Defying (aka Steve Righ? from Mindless Self Indulgence), and strong concept and story-line, all combined to make this (in my opinion) a perfect album. 'Summertime' was even played at my Nanna's funeral, and now I listen to that song with reflection and memories of her. It's pretty emotional. What I loved was that MCR still included an element of humour in this album, which is prevalent in the last track, 'Vampire Money'. Everyone kept wanting them to make a song for the 'Twilight' franchise, which Gerard Way was not interested in, so made an anti-twilight song highlighting that people wanted them to make the song just to get the money.
Danger Days made me start to love music and get a real passion for it, giving me a whole new genre to explore, instead of forcing myself to listen to the commercially churned out chart music I thought I had to listen to. It lead to me going through different phases in the next few years, discovering new bands and following MCR in the last few years of their journey, even their World Contamination Tour, which I will write about in the next blog.

Welcome (Hydroponic Version)
Welcome to this groove you csn move right
We're gonna take you higher (higher)
Not caught in the quagmire (mire)
I can't survive on the stupid 9 to 5
I'd rather be poor writin' tunes livin' on a commune
Kickin' it with my brothers (brothers)
And significant others (others)
Life in pursuit of only money we think its funny
The only thing that money it could ever bring for me
Would be some gifts for my friends follow me now
Trips for my family
The only thing I love is freedom
The people around me I need 'em
I'd like to buy the world coat but like I said I said
You could never get me interested in dreams of wealth
Myself my birthday happens to land on April 12th whack
A Coney Island of the mind it's mine
I swipe the sweets strip the beats in the sunshine
Loco holmes I stroll because I'm thinkin'
A tone poem alone is love medicine then the demon
Spring revolution in my spirit here it is and I will kill with it
Ta-ta-ta Travelin' head spinnin' from the medicine
Illusions fadin' out and comin' on again
Unwind your mind then find entire minutes
Abstract the tract of sight day breakin' in it
Doles out my share of the world, ocean, and sun
Rising with whirling motion
I fought, kicked, and screamed my way to getting born
Now I feel warm and I say come on the night won't save anyone
Won't you roam we've grown so we can let again
I'm so selected oh white foam the travellin'
We're here, we're breathing and we wanna keep out blood running
So we're gonna keep gunning to the next homecoming
I like to boogie to the bang (he said come up) bang boogie
Say jump the boogie to the bang bang come on

Of course we were planning future gastronomy tours and comparing past culinary travel experiences, so food was the recognized topic at the center of our conversation.
Picchiapò has a funny name, it could easily translate to "beat just a little" but I'm guessing the etymology lies elsewhere. This is a typical Roman cucina povera dish, and one that naturally involves recycling of leftovers, namely bollito. Each family makes their own, so there is no official recipe. This is the one I've always known, shared by true trasteverini Romans.
If you remember seeing the 1974 Ettore Scola masterpiece C'eravamo tanto amati, friends Vittorio Gassman, Nino Manfredi and Stefano Satta Flores eat picchiapò at a trattoria.
After boiling beef muscle with bone for 3 hours with celery, carrots, onions studded with cloves and whatever else you add in your bollito to make good meat stock; and then letting it rest overnight, you can proceed to making your own personal variation of picchiapò. Here's mine.
500 gr (1.1 lbs) leftover boiled beef or veal, possibly not too lean - roughly chopped
2-3 yellow or red onions, finely chopped
400 gr (2 cups) canned tomatoes, crushed
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 peperoncino chili pepper
1 bay leaf
Extra virgin olive oil
2 glasses of dry, white wine
Salt to taste
Wilt the onions with 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a wide saucepan. Pour in the wine and let it evaporate while the onions turn a nice golden color.
Add the tomatoes and spices/herbs, and let cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sauce should reduce somewhat.
Fold in the leftover chopped meat and let it simmer gently for another 7-10 minutes.
Serve hot alongside mashed potatoes, or sauteed seasonal greens.

My favorite part was when they had to fight a troll in the school because it?s mostly Harry that fights. Harry?s wand gets stuck in the Troll?s nose and gets covered in snot. There?s also something unique because it has witches and wizards. It?s like other books I?ve read but they only had witches and potions and no wizards. This book is part of a series and it is similar to all the others because it some of the same characters. My favorite character was Harry because he is the main character and he accomplished many things.
I recommend this book to people who like magic from ages nine to grownups. If I was rating this book, I would give it a 8 because I enjoyed all the witchcraft and wizardry.

ADHD Challenges To Parents: Part-Time Genius, Full-Time Job
Parents Of Children With ADHD
Could you live with the responsibilities and time intensive commitments inherent in raising a child with multiple learning disorders (LD) and behavoral disorders? I respect parents and grandparents with custody of children suffering these disorders who make the commitment to the long haul.
I worked with ADD- and ADHD-labeled children and youth, and some autistic youth from 1982 - 2009. My associates and I helped achieve some notable successes in the educational and behavioral lives of these young people. However, living with a child that needs attention in these areas - especially more than one, ala dual dignoasis (which is often many more than two) - can be crazy-making and health crippling for the parent(s) and siblings.
Enelle Lamb comes forth with her new book, Part-Time Genius, Full-Time Job to relate her own experiences with her beloved child, who has had what the system calls LD and ADHD and/or ADHD Spectrumand some unfortunate behaviors called Oppositional Defiant Disorder ("ODD" - odd - That always makes us laugh and reduces tension right away with clients), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Post Traumatic Stress ... but the diagnostic manual of the American Psychiatric Association is being updated as DSM V and I think we will have a new shipment of labels soon.

Proposed diagnostic changes in 2012 will reduce the number of individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, possibly eliminate these individuals from some services in communities, and possibly reduce government funding for diagnosis, disabilit
In my own work I do not use labels; but diagnoses are a first step in understanding LD conditions and they operations and the treatment modalities that work to help make the best life possible for these young people and their families. Although, millions of adults are now receiving diagnoses for Asperger's and other Autism Spectrum and ADHD Spectrum Disorders in the USA.
Ohio was the first of the US States to award Social Security Disability income to children and youth diagnosed with ADD or ADHD, beginning in the later 1980s. Early on, there appeared a lot of misdiagnoses, but also a substantial number of cases in which family members coached their children to show symptoms of ADHD. After the first decade, these anomalies seemed to largely sort themselves out. ADHD types of disorders are handled in Ohio with drug treatments, talk therapies, and behavior therapies. In Canada, procedures are somewhat different; however, Ms. Lamb's book is an ideal introduction to what may be expected in rather severe cases on the ADHD Spectrum. I think parents with children newly diagnosed and anyone planning to study psychology or sociology should read it.
Note: In Ohio, it has been found that AHDH is related to OCD and Tourette's Syndrome, all of which show promise of responding to Clonidine, first produced to treat hypertension. Enelle Lamb shares in her book something new to us here - that over-the-counter Melatonin sometimes helps these youth sleep. I must say that this is far superior to the left-over Codeine that one parent here used on her offspring.
Tony Shalhoub
Sick or Different?
Much research has connected conditions such as ADD, ADHD, and OCD to neurological foundations that make a "difference" among people who experience them.
I hesitate to call it pathology. After all, Jack Black is highly successful in his own reported ADD and OCD, making a good income and even making contact with his high school crush and marrying her - and having a family. And many people love Tony Shalhoub's character "Monk" with his OCD and anxiety. But to live with a "Monk" or a Jack Black? - much effort required.
Interestingly, Mr. Shalhoub reported from time to time that he began to pick up short-term obsessive-compulsive habits by acting them out as Mr. Monk. This gives more credence to the work outcomes achived in training these behaviors out of some individuals' behavior sets. However, we must look at Ennelle Lamb's firsthand reporting of her success in raising a child with multiple conditions.
I personally know firsthand of two cases a bit worse than Enelle's experience. One was an adoption in Indiana in which the child escalated to attempted murder of parents and sister and was institutionalized after several years of unsuccessful treatments and education. The other is an Ohio case in which the youth, after troubles in high school two difficult years of college, was fired from five jobs and divorced. He recognized that he was most talented in music and began his own music related business, in which he seemed to be successful. The aggressive behavior and lack of concentration eased significantly.
A mild case here became tragic when a psychiatrist prescribed three antpsychotic meds atop a high dosage of Ritalin. The 7-year-old began to hear voices telling her to tear out all of her bodily hair and lashes and then kill herself. We caught this action just in time and the inpatient removal of all drugs down to a 10 mg daily dose of Ritalin was effective. Each case is different and some can be removed from Ritalin later.
Multiple Diagnoses and Lots of Time
Ms. Lamb is a courageous individual in that she put the effort into raising her son, the subject of this book and about 14 in 2011, and chose to share this adventure with the world. The first person account is one that can help parents in understanding and gaining strength in raising their children and one that can help the rest of the world understand what happens in the lives of these children and their families. My estimate is that many have not a clue. This book is the clue.
Eventually this child was diagnosed with four separate disorders, but Ms. Lamb learned to cope with them over years of effort, at the same time she taught her son how to self-manage them as well.
How does one live with someone that suffers all of ADHD, ODD, an Anxiety Disorder, and Post Traumatic Stress? More importantly, how dose one live with oneself amongst these disdorders and survive life? My first reaction is that a CNS transplant would be just the ticket, but we don't have those. My father used to say when he encountered folks with untreatable or difficult health problems, "There ought to be a shot (injection) for that!" We also do not have one of those for the spectrum disorders.
Punch Between the Eyes
The snare that hurts the most perhaps in these types of cases is the onslaught of friends and relatives that tell you as parent that there is nothing out of the ordinary about your child - even when he is colicky from birth, "highly agitato" as Kinky Friedman might say, and highly sensitive to stimuli - like noise, smells, flourescent lights, touch, temperature, all kinds of things. Exasperating.
This is like my soon-fired supervisor telling an LD student that because the young man had a physically based visual disorder in which he saw NOTHING in the center of any page he tried to read that he simply had to TRY HARDER. The student dropped out of school.
Another example is of a fine lady with severe fibromyalgia whose friends and family tell her. "You look fine, so there's nothing wrong with you."
Are we in the Stone Age? I must ask.
Not only can the uninformed be of no help at times, they can be of harm.

Older Theories Revisited
On Wednesday, March 29, 2011 the Federal Drug Administration issues a few comments about ADD/ADHD and food additives. We in America and other parts of the world already know that red dyes act as environmental estrogens. What else might they do? In the 1990s, a large study in New Jersey found food sensitivities to worsen hyperactivity symptoms in children and youth. Some pointed to these additives as a cause, not substantiated. Is the field of red dyes also a perpetrator in ADHD symptoms?
Will red dyes be regulated to a farther extreme after total examination by the FDA? Perhaps.
We know that certain substances make hyperactivity symptoms worse - sugar, although not a CAUSE of hyperactivity; MSG in some kids. Red dyes? We thought so in the 1990s. Let's see in the 2010s.

Comments and Experiences
I can vouch for that! LOL
I admire you to be able to work with these children. Any little achievement must have been fantastic.
Most interesting article. Lots of information yet to be uncovered about many of these disorders. Kudos to you and Enelle for spreading much-needed info and support.
Thanks so much Patty - very informative hub! I hope you enjoyed the book :D
I would just like to add (for BlissfulWriter) that ADHD, ADD, OCD, and ODD are all frontal lobe disabilities. I believe that Autism, Asperger's and Tourette's are also in the same category. This means that there are issues with the proper functioning of the frontal lobe. None of these disabilities can be "caught", and "causes" fall to the medical practitioners to discover, as they aren't simple to find as say, the causes for Type II Diabetes. (as an example...)
I'm sure this will be very helpful information for parents that are having to deal with this. I can't imagine. There can never be enough support for them.
I heard there is a rise in the spectrum disorders such as ADD, ADHD, OCD, and autism. What do you think is the cause?

Martin Luther King Jr.'s formation of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, his receipt of the Nobel Peace Prize and his tireless work towards desegregation are widely considered to be his greatest achievements. The SCLC was founded in 1957 with the goal of achieving civil rights and fighting segregation. King was an influential pioneer of the civil rights movement in the U.S. and was the youngest person to ever win a Nobel Peace Prize, which he was awarded in 1964 at the age of 35.
King was admitted to Morehouse College at the young age of just 15. He graduated 4 years later and entered the Crozer Theological Seminary. In 1948, he was ordained a Baptist minister at just 19 years of age.
In 1955, he attained his doctorate degree from Boston University and was elected to the office of president of the Montgomery Improvement Association, where he became the spokesman for the Montgomery bus boycott.
King was jailed several times during his life for protesting against unfair practices, including segregation. More than 125,000 people participated in the Freedom Walk in Washington, D.C. in 1963 with King at its helm. It was during this march that the speech for which King would become famous was given, now famously known as the "I Have a Dream" speech. King made the cover of "Time" magazine in 1964 when he was named Man of the Year, and he attended the signing of the Civil Rights Act that same year at the White House.

About the Center
About the Cesar E. Chavez Community Action Center
Established by Associated Students in July 2005, the Cesar E. Chavez Community Action Center(CCCAC) at San Jose State University provides a platform that encourages and supports civic engagement and advocacy with hopes to contributing to a more just society and producing the next generation of philanthropist and social justice practitioners.
In 2000, the CSU Board of Trustees passed a resolution calling on the chancellor and each CSU president to "ensure that all students have opportunities to participate in community service, service learning, or both." This prompted San José State University and many universities of the CSU, to establish Centers for Service Learning. SJSU launched its Center for Service Learning (CSL) in January 2000 within the Office of Undergraduate Studies.
The Center for Service Learning helps faculty incorporate service-learning into their curriculum and academic lesson plans. When San Jose State University's Center for Service Learning began facilitating service-learning courses in January 2000, the university campus was soon overwhelmed by calls from community organizations desperate for capable volunteers. A centralized clearinghouse to recruit and place SJSU students to fill the rising demand for off-campus community service was plainly needed.
In response, the Associated Students of San Jose State University provided seed money for the Cesar E. Chavez Community Action Center in April 2005 to advance the philosophy of service to humanity to which Chavez dedicated his life. Since 2005 the Center for Service Learning has generously provided the Cesar E. Chavez Community Action Center with space to develop its infrastructure and signature programs. Although separate entities, the Center for Service Learning and the Cesar E. Chavez Community Action Center continue collaborative efforts to establish a more prominent culture of service at San Jose State University.
|SJSU students, engaged in service, address community needs while enriching their educational experience and fostering civic engagement.
|As an institution of higher-learning, San Jose State University is committed to the education of its students. The Cesar E. Chavez Community Action Center maintains that "Real Education Serves Everyone." Student-run, CCCAC programs and services are coordinated by students to mobilize other students in service essential to effective solutions for community partners. Programs and partnerships impact both the community and the student, improving the quality of life in San Jose and strengthening alliances between SJSU and the community, and producing the next generation of philanthropists and civic minded college graduates.

Subject: sbcl-1.0.27 released
Newsgroups: gmane.lisp.steel-bank.announce
Date: Thursday 2nd April 2009 22:08:36 UTC (over 9 years ago)
SBCL 1.0.27 has been released. Release notes: changes in sbcl-1.0.27 relative to 1.0.26: * new port: support added for x86-64 OpenBSD. (thanks to Josh Elsasser) * new port: support added for x86-64 Solaris. (thanks to Alex Viskovatoff) * improvement: the system either recovers from stack exhaustion or dies properly as opposed to leaving the user uncertain of whether the handler trampled on some random memory next to the stack or having to rely on --lose-on-corruption (which is still a good idea to use in production because stack exhaustion can happen in signal handlers which will likely lead to hangs.) * bug fix: fix gc related interrupt handling bug on ppc (regression from 18.104.22.168, reported by Harald Hanche-Olsen) * bug fix: work around signal delivery bug in darwin (regression from 188.8.131.52, reported by Sidney Markowitz) * bug fix: fix ERROR leaking memory (reported by David Thompson) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My computer is about 4 years old now. When I first bought it, it was the most updated one and can even play almost every pc games around that time. During its heyday, everyone said that it is the fastest machine among my entire friends computer. But now, I have to replace it. 4 years ago! The price for it can even buy a brand new super sophisticated machine today!
So I have one in mind. Even I plan to get one now. This baby should have Gigabyte brand for the motherboard and equipped with 512MB of graphic card(also Gigabyte) so any games that I want to try won't be so much trouble for me to play.
The hard disk should not exceed 160GB since the backups will be hassle if the hard disk is too large. And not forgetting, since RAM are very cheap nowadays the machine should be running at 4GB RAM. Oh, I prefer AMD chip to be the brain for my machine rather than Intel since Intel are expensive and I can get more efficient processor from AMD.
All of this also should not exceed Rm2000 preferably if around Rm1600 range. This shall not include LCD monitor, keyboard, mouse or even speaker. I already have it and there is no reason to buy them again.
This is what happens if you know how to make a specification out of a budget. Just need to know the market price, the full specification of the things that you need to buy, compare it to other product and so on.
I do have some experience on building a computer set. This is the problem with people who know to assemble them. We tend to try finding cheaper alternative and want to get a full use out of the budget. This is because trying to find a good specification from the "pre-assemble" from the computer shop is not like shopping for a baby furniture. Baby furniture is WYSiWYG (What-you-see-is-what-you-get). You can't change the specification. Unless you can DIY (Do-it-yourself) to get what you need, there should be no problem.
So now I'm planning to sell out my old computer. Will throw in new keyboard and mouse too. Or maybe an ordinary monitor (brand new) will included with it. The price should not exceed Rm1000. It's better than refurbished one since I will offer a Pentium 4 2.4GHZ machine with 512MB DDR RAM.
Anyone interested?
