TeraCopyfor Microsoft Windows
One of the most common complaints about newer versions of Windows is the slow copying speed, especially when transferring lots of files over the network. If you want to speed up your copying or if you regularly transfer large amounts of data and have to stop the process to perform some other disk-intensive task, this program may be just what you need.
TeraCopy is designed to copy and move files at the maximum possible speed. It skips bad files during the copying process, and then displays them at the end of the transfer so that you can see which ones need attention. TeraCopy can automatically check the copied files for errors by calculating their CRC checksum values. It also provides a lot more information about the files being copied than its Windows counterpart. TeraCopy integrates with Windows Explorer's right-click menu and can be set as the default copy handler.
- Copy files fasterTeraCopy uses dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce the seek times. Asynchronous copying speeds up the file transfer between two physical hard drives.
- Pause and resume file transfer activitiesPause the copy process at any time in order to free up system resources and continue with a single click.
- Error recoveryIn case of a copy error, TeraCopy will try several times to recover and, in the worse case scenario, will simply skip the file, not terminating the entire transfer.
- Interactive file listTeraCopy shows the failed file transfers and lets you fix the problem and recopy only the problem files.
- Shell integrationTeraCopy can completely replace the Explorer copy and move functions, in turn enabling you to work with files as usual.
- Full Unicode support.
- Windows 8 x64 support.
TeraCopy Pro *
The paid version of the program includes the following features:
- Copy/move to your favorite folders.
- Save reports as HTML and CSV files.
- Select files with the same extension/folder.
- Remove the selected files from the copy queue.
- More features coming soon!
Hive Five WinnerReviews
"TeraCopy is a nifty piece of freeware that improves the Windows copy/move function and adds useful extras like checksum calculation and permanent delete."CNET
"Your app did in 30 hours what has been taking me weeks and weeks to do piecemeal at a time. The amount of time I wasted in aborted processes and babysitting file copies easily cost me thousands of dollars in lost productivity and delays in work delivery."

Tony Hawk skateboarding series
Group Description
A series of skateboarding games endorsed by pro skateboarder Tony Hawk, all of which involve the sport of skateboarding. The franchise was launched by studio Neversoft Entertainment, even though many other studios approached Tony Hawk for his endorsement. He was convinced after seeing an old Bruce Willis model from Apocalypse skating all over instead of just from Point A to Point B.Neversoft released several sequels up to Tony Hawk's Proving Ground. It managed to innovate less than the skate series by Electronic Arts and in January 2009 Neversoft co-founder Joel Jewett said in an interview the franchise was handed to a different development studio.

From what I've read you can only trade in a standard phone to receive the rebate, it does not work if you trade in a smart phone.
I would keep the Droid and use it as a wifi device only. Very handy when during in the house perusing the forums without draining the battery. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using DroidForums
I sold my old 1st gen droid for 75 bucks on craigslist. Verizon trade in woulda only gave me 25 bucks. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using DroidForums
the $100 card is only for people who are upgrading there line from a standard phone to a smart phone. they gave me a $100 instant discount when I upgraded to a smart phone about 6 years ago. And they didnt even take your standard phone back then. the idea is to get more people on data plans. they offer this $100 for a few months then take it away, then bring it back...etc... You would think they would be offering more than $100 by now since its been the same deal for at least 6 years.

WTF is wrong with Raina? 7 off 21 balls.
He can't face proper pace bowling.
Big win for the Kiwis here.
This would have been great to see televised and not surprising to see McCullum and Oram fail.

It's a good thing Broom is rubbish.
Pleased that NZ won, though it's just a warm up so not too much should be read into it. The good bits for me were that Ryder and Broom scored runs after both had been struggling recently, Bond didn't break and we managed a high score *shock!* batting first.
His inning didn't do it for you? Or are you being ironic tough to tell without a smilie.
I am glad Broom did ok in this game or they might have gone with an extra bowler for the real games.
I hope we put in a good showing at this competition unlike the ill fated compaq cup disaster.

I guess India will play better with Sachin and Gambhir in the side. Nayar should play instead of Yusuf Pathan and Mishy should replace RP Singh.
I'm kind of curious as to whether or not this was the selectors top NZ XI.
are all locked in at the top.
But the bowling besides Bond seems to be up in the air.
Mills, Tuffey, Butler and now Patel are all trying to make a case.
If the pitch has a bit of spin in at, as seemingly this one did then Patel would be one of the options. Though considering that this is South Africa that shouldn't happen too often. I'm really hoping we play both Tuffey and Mills together as it would give us a pretty snazzy seam attack.
Was having a crack at the NZ supporters (of which there are a lot of) who continue to tell us Broom is no good, despite having limited opportunities. I've been saying Broom should be in the side for 3 years!
I probably should have added the rolled eyes smiley to my previous post or something.
Stoked he did well in that game. Obviously just a warmup and one good innings doesn't make a player, but he has all the tools to produce at international level.
Broom is probably our best bet for number 6 TBH. The only other players I could see succeeding there are Ryder and a player like Kitchen (though I'd like to see him through another domestic season).
I find it weird batting a specialist bat at 7, especially when Broom is more of a proper batsman than a hitter. Sure he obviously connected with a few against India in the warmup but his hitting/ slogging hasn't looked very good when I've watched before that. I guess they want to give Oram time to play himself in at 6, but not really sold on that.
In fact in general it's very odd that we have McCullum, Ryder, Guptill and Taylor who are ALL hitters/ strokemakers in the top four, followed by Elliott, Oram, Broom, Vettori who are not really hitters. Two are 'nurdlers', Broom is more of a normal batsman and Oram can hit but is a slow starter and is out of form.
So what happens when we need to consolidate at the start, or hit at the end of an innings?
All signs point to McCullum going back to no.7 tbh.
I wouldn't mind Baz back at 7, but his record opening (not facing the first ball ) is alot better than his record @ 7 (even without that game where he bashed around Ireland).
Plus there is 10 guaranteed Powerplay overs at the start.
If he moved down, how would the order go?
Move everyone up one or stick Broom in @ 3?

Odd I was just going to post in the other Quinoa thread. I was at Costco and they've started stocking organic quinoa so I picked up a bag. It says that its been pre-rinsed. Does it need to be rinsed again? Also, any way of turning this into something sweet? I need a replacement for my morning oatmeal.

Mossad, Sonic Weapons & Khaled Meshaal
On September 25, 1997, Khaled Mashal—a prominent Hamas leader—was the target of an assassination attempt carried out by the Israeli Mossad under orders of the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Two Mossad agents carrying Canadian passports entered Jordan and injected Mashal with an unknown nerve toxin. A few days later, Netanyahu surrendered to international pressure and provided the antidote. Toxin and antidote were developed by the Israel Institute for Biological Research; its name is often shortened as IIB.
I followed with interest the reports; back then I had enough contacts to corroborate the IIB involvement. You never know when such a piece of information would become handy; for me, it did years later. The IIB is located not far from the Weizmann Institute of Science (WIS), on the southern entrance to Nes Tziona (a town whose name means "Flag towards Zion"). Overall the area is known as Israel's academic powerhouse, with most of Israel's weapons of mass destruction linked one way or the other to it.
The IIB makes a remarkable sight because there is nothing to see there. A solid wall blocks everything. Approaching the guards at the entrance is not a bright idea, since this event would probably end with a quiet investigation of the person attempting that. Next to the main entrance is what usually is referred to as the "other-half." Roughly half the institute had been purchased by a Japanese pharmaceutical corporation; glimpses of the interior of this part are sometimes available to passersby. Invisible, the other areas of the institute are less benign in nature. Developing biological warfare is not considered a benevolent occupation; accordingly, every institution developing it would be as isolated as the IIB is. Moreover, there is no doubt about these activities. On October 4, 1992, El Al Flight 1862, crashed into the Groeneveen and Klein-Kruitberg flats in the Bijlmermeer neighborhood of Amsterdam. Many people died and were injured by this Boeing 747 cargo plane. The cargo included over 280 kilograms of depleted uranium, which is used for certain types of missiles, and 190 litres of dimethyl methylphosphonate, which could be used in the synthesis of Sarin nerve gas. The owner of the latter was the IIB.
Israel is so tiny that reality folds there in odd ways. Everything is related to everything else. Dating back to 1955, and located in Ramat Gan—part of Gush Dan, the Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area—Bar Ilan is the second largest academic institution in Israel, and the most dubious one due to its semi-open links with the Shin Beth and the Mossad. Bar-Ilan is a hotbed of Shin Beth patsies, agents and informants. Yigal Amir, Rabin's assassin, and his Shin Beth manipulator, Avishai Raviv had been students there. The fact that extreme nationalism is bred there is not surprising, after all the university enforces Talmudic-Pharisaic interpretations of the Bible even on exact sciences students. It is named after Rabbi Meir Bar-Ilan, a Religious Zionist leader who believed in providing a dual curriculum of secular academic studies and Talmudic Torah studies. In The Cross of Bethlehem, I described David Y. He was a Shin Beth informant studying at the Weizmann Institute of Science. David was the second and last student admitted to WIS just after the initial interview the year I began my studies at the WIS. I was the other one. However, his admission had been different from mine. He had prior knowledge of the identity of the members of the selecting panel. Consequently, he had brought relevant scientific articles to the event. He showed them to me while we were waiting outside the interview room. Like Avishai Raviv and Yigal Amir, David had graduated from Bar Ilan University. The impression the papers caused on the panel was enough to get him into the WIS. After he practiced spying on us, he left for the USA. There, he siphons out science from America to Israel.
Bar Ilan University is also unexpectedly related to the IIB. The State of Israel uses an effortless trick to disguise some of the academic titles achieved in its universities. In the first years of the Weizmann Institute of Science, the institution was busy developing Israel's nuclear program. In order to protect the true work of the scientists there, the academic degrees achieved in the process were awarded by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Most of these works were disguised so that their connections with the Israeli nuclear mass destruction weapons program were not evident. The same goes for the Bar Ilan University, which issues academic titles for works carried out at IIB.
Back to Mashal's assassination attempt, several of the reported details were bizarre. The first was the large disclosure of certain details of the attack by the Hebrew media. Usually censorship obscures these details. But now, the authorities seemed eager to disclose details. Were they intended as disinformation? Great emphasis was given to "a device attached to Mashal's left ear that transmitted a lethal nerve toxin." Yet, the device was never found. Khaled Mashal reported a strong noise like an explosion in his left ear. Could another explanation be offered? What does Occam's razor indicate here? What was the simplest hypothesis to explain the attack? I kept reading the reports.
Khaled Mashal was slowly dying in Jordan; many systems in his body began deteriorating until Netanyahu handed over the antidote. The deterioration of several systems indicated the unknown toxin was apparently administered below the Blood-Brain Barrier (known as BBB). The BBB is a separation of circulating blood and cerebrospinal fluid in the central nervous system and protects the brain from many toxic molecules and microorganisms. A toxin would usually be injected above the BBB if the brain is the target. The toxin would most often be injected below the BBB in order to target the body. For attackers, the latter is easier, since the body is a much larger target than the head; moreover, the main sensory organs of the body are located in the head, making undesired access to it difficult. Nevertheless, we have a testimony of an explosion in the ear combined with an acute poisoning of the body. Does that mean the victim's testimony is wrong?
Not at all; it means the operation was complex. Probably, Khaled Mashal was attacked twice, once by each one of the Mossad agents approaching him. The first agent aimed a cellular phone loudspeaker at Mashal's ear and hit him with a soundwave shock. It inflicted pain and disorientation on the victim; that's why he fell on the ground. The toxin was slow acting and wouldn't have caused that, the subsequent slow deterioration of the victim's condition indicates that.
That probably was the explosion reported by Mashal. It was the way the cowards made sure he wouldn't be able to react. Nonetheless, he was stronger and braver than they were. The fact that the device was never found can be easily explained. Maybe, the Jordanian authorities found a mobile phone on the suspects or nearby the crime scene. Maybe, it was taken by a passerby during the confused seconds after the attack. Such a device could have been a key element of the attack. There is no better way of hiding a sound-emitting weapon than within an artifact naturally designed to emit sound. On January 5, 1996, the Shin Beth assassinated Yahya Ayyash with the help of a modified cellular phone. The Khaled Mashal assassination attempt may have been an additional instance of such a use.
Meanwhile, the second agent injected the toxin somewhere in Mashal's body and dropped the unsuspicious tiny needle used to perpetrate the crime. It could have been disguised as any sharp-shaped artifact. Nobody searched for a needle because everybody was focused on the sound-emitting device.
The operation illustrates Israeli cowardice in two aspects: the attack was from behind and Netanyahu didn't stick to his decision to assassinate Mashal by providing the antidote to Jordan. It illustrates also the illegitimacy of the Israeli administration: no judicial process was ever held against Khaled Mashal and thus the assassination attempt was illegal. Moreover, it disclosed the use of sonic weapons. It is easy to find technical data on them, but extremely difficult to locate their users. They are kept as secrets comparable to nuclear weapons. The reason is that they can be used inconspicuously without leaving as many traces as fire weapons do, especially since they use directional soundwave packets. Eventually, some of these hellish devices would be used against me during the brutal attack of July 2009.
This is the first part of the chapter of the same name in The Cross of Bethlehem II: Back in Bethlehem.

Bubbles actually was sitting next to me yesterday at my coffee shop.
Thanks everyone for the kind words, and words of advice.
I agree with parts of what all of you have said, and my plan is similar to what most of you recommended.
I plan to continue college, taking one or two courses at a time at UCSB. It will be far cheaper to do this at UCSB than at my current school. I really love maths, and I will continue to study that. This will allow me not only to continue growing my business, but also to focus more deeply on each maths class. One of the main reasons that this business venture has been profitable is my math education. Behind every non-thrift purchase is a 500+ line spreadsheet in which I do analysis. Beyond that, maths is my passion. Take classes in this way will lower my stress, and allow me to study each topic with greater intensity.
I will finish my math degree. It may take me 8 years, but instead of finishing it lost and in debt, I will finish it with direction and a large chunk of change in the bank.
This is how I now picture you...
JK, I am a math freak too...
Here are last weeks finds after dry cleaning. Modeling edition! lol
I apologize about the dirty mirror, didnt realize it until after pics.

For publication news, I recently had an interview and four poems published in Connotation Press. I like that this journal frequently interviews the poets about their poems. Nice to have a bit of chatter along with the poems. I initially submitted to Connotation because they'd carried a review of Temptation by Water in a previous issue. Therefore, I liked them!
I also have three poems in IthacaLit, a new online journal. This one came from a solicitation to submit by the guest editor who is also poetry editor of another journal where I'd recently had some work accepted. It's so nice to be wanted, isn't it? And don't you hate it when someone solicits your work and then rejects it? Bummer. But the news was all good here. This journal plans to include a limited number of poets in each issue—this one has twelve. There's also a featured poet with an interview. And some very nice artwork as headers. The plan is to each year produce a print issue with some of the poetry and artwork.
Then I recently had two really nice readings. The first was at DelRossi's Trattoria in Dublin, New Hampshire. I'd read there once before, back in 2005. That reading was preceded by eight days of torrential rain. The highway I was on to get up there—I think it was 91—opened up with a sinkhole. I was in the same spot for 4 hours! The whole drive which should have taken little more than 4 hours took more than 10. Once in NH I hit roads I could not traverse due to flooding and found myself on alternate dark, dark roads with no idea where I was going. But I made it. And the next day went to the reading, only to learn that the other poet, who lived in New Hampshire, hadn't been able to make it. There was a decent audience but certainly diminished by weather. So I was delighted to be asked back. Then it turned out that there were all kinds of festivals and other readings the same weekend. I expected to read for an empty room. Not so! Happily, we had a nice turnout of jolly people. I spent two nights in a hotel, enjoyed the fall foliage, indulged in room service, and did a bit of writing.
The second reading was last week for the University Women of West Essex, a local group. This was their fall luncheon meeting so I had a free lunch. Then I read—my presentation was "Poetry and the Lives of Women," a combination of poems and talk about subject and process. Lovely turnout and as these women were all local we had lots of connections. I'm happy to say that both readings resulted in some joy-inducing book sales.
One more piece of news. Remember the chapbook I wrote about almost a year ago? For the Greatest Hits series. It's a long story, but I had long ago concluded that it just wasn't going to happen. It had completely stalled out although I'd sent in my manuscript. Yesterday I learned that the woman who has bought the series is now going to take over the publication of my chapbook at a different press. That's exactly what I wanted to happen.
Perhaps I should have known that luck was on my side when I recently won a Mail Chimp t shirt. Mail Chimp is the email service I use for my Poetry Newsletter (sign up in right sidebar). Every once in a while they have a big giveaway. The day they recently had one I sat in front of the computer for an hour watching the countdown. Then as soon as the giveaway link was posted, I was there. And lucked out!

Zusammenfassung | The quest for more sustainable buildings that produce less waste and water as well as use energy more ciently has been going on for more than thirty years. Change towards a more sustainable construction industry is influenced by many factors, the effects of which are difficult to predict. Still, voluntary building assessment systems have become increasingly popular around the world address the issues that mandatory building codes habe not been able to tackle. This is also the case in the United States, a country in which environmental decisions are made at multiple levels, notably federal, state, county and local level. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and many more voluntary schemes such as Green Globes, BREEAM or Built it Green have pushed into the market. The efficiency of these schemes is still widely debated but they have become a de facto reality for many building professionals. One topic that has been neglected, however, in both academic and policy discussions is how professionals (architects, engineers, real estate developers etc.) perceive and react to the change from statemandated building codes to voluntary market-based schemes and what their motivations for the use of these schemes are. In this paper, building on 14 face-to-face interviews with building professionals in Massachusetts and New York State, an online survey is currently being developed to investigate these questions. The aim of the 3nal paper will be to distinguish behavioural responses between professional groups as well as LEED AP accredited and nonaccredited professionals. |

A mine producing 2100 tons per year (for ten years) could be expected for $390 million of development cost. An increase of 3% on world uranium production.
The phase-one DFS was based on a measured and indicated resource of 67,7-million tons, averaging 439 ppm, for 65,6-million pounds of contained U3O8.
The additional 41,2-million tons, averaging 395 ppm for 35,9-million pounds of U3O8 in the inferred resources category was excluded from the DFS.
Breese said that the DFS was based on an owner-operated mining scenario, with the processing plant based on a simple acid leach and conventional resin-in-pulp technology.
The development costs for the phase-one project was estimated at around $390,5-million, of which $163,1-million would go to the processing plant and $227,4-million for the project infrastructure and management.

HP-fanfic-fan101 chapter 1 . 8/2/2014 so funny, I wish this actually happened. and you're so right about everything once people know his secret. I wish clark would have told lex sooner though, there were so many opportunities. |

Tempest in Blue chapter 1 . 5/7/2013 I wish there was a "like" button. If there was, I would click it. :-) |
ReviewsAnonymous chapter 1 . 12/18/2012 Man, I always really feel for Lex in your stories, and the way you write the characters pointing out the storyline inconsistincies is great. I only ever saw the first season of Smallville and parts of the next two where it wasn't as bad, but it still felt like Lex never got any slack for anything, ever. I particularily liked these lines; "Lex, it's always that easy when you know my secret," Clark told him. Lex looked like he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Poor Lex. Just...poor, poor Lex. Is it any wonder he cannonically became a villian? I think I would have snapped much earlier. I also really liked your story 'Cheating Destiny', despite not having seen practically any of the events first-hand (seeing it laid out makes the craziness just as clear). Seeing Lex get a happy ending was great. If the idea ever takes you, I'd really like to see a one-shot about the cannon-world just after Clark's younger mind went back, because it would be interesting to see if Lex's helpful actions would change anything between cannon-Clark and him. |
Hebi R chapter 1 . 12/13/2012 Thank you. |
HighValour chapter 1 . 12/8/2012 Without a doubt, you write the funniest Lex I've ever seen. |
Dragonball X Avalon chapter 1 . 11/22/2012 This is funny, but you make Lex seem almost like a child |
PSay chapter 1 . 11/19/2012 This is amazing. I never would have thought that Clark and Lex could even have this kind of conversation. Of course Clark and Lex were friends way back and then had a huge falling out. Lex being a clone means he may just have a different outloook than he had before. Let's hope so. At least it gives them a second chance. I am amazed though that Clark would ask Lex to be his best man. That is really off the wall. Thanks for a fun read. pms |
Reader chapter 1 . 11/17/2012 Haha, oh Clark. You and your weird logic. Poor Lex is so confused. If only he'd been more himself... |
Go to my Real Account with Ter chapter 1 . 11/17/2012 "Hey! Will you be my best man assuming we survive all of this?" ...Classic Clark. |
twistyguru chapter 1 . 11/17/2012 Okay, here's the deal: Clex slash was what got me interesting in fan fiction to start with. With the end of the Smallville run, these fics are becoming few and far between, so you can imagine my delight when I found this. It's very well written, and both of them are 'just right' in character and voice. A delightful piece, that I'd like to see continued. They need to finish the conversation after Clark's saved the world (again). Even if it's only as friends (or not trying to kill each other acquaintances...it'll be complicated, no doubt) and not the slashy goodness I prefer, I'll read it. Maybe the scene where Lex is helping Clark with his tux right before the wedding? A nervous Clark and a helpful Lex could be lots of fun. |

Ashgate Studies in Human Factors for Flight Operations has released the latest title in a continuing series, The Multitasking Myth: Handling Complexity in Real World Operations by Dr. Key Dismukes, Dr. Loukia Loukopoulos and Dr. Immanuel Barshi. The authors discuss the results of recent research that delves into the performance of crews in dynamic environments and explores why even skilled crews can make mistakes when multitasking. Part of the problem is defined as gaps that exist between the ideal environment that is defined by flight operations policies and procedures, and the reality of complex and variable operations. The scientists, drawing from extensive experience gained as aerospace human factors researchers at NASA Ames, drill down into several critical phases of flight that include taxi, descent, approach and landing. During the course of their applied research they looked for markers that identified problem areas, and conducted analysis of concurrent task management and crew responses during these situations. What they discovered is that humans are not nearly as good at multitasking as previously assumed, and this should be taken into consideration when designing and conducting flight operation policy and procedures. On top of this, crews routinely underestimate their vulnerability to error. Timing of tasks and the character of a specific task also create unique memory and goal completion challenges for crews, and theses challenges can create safety significant issues when they are placed in the context of high tempo operations. Through the course of their research, four patterns of error were identified: 1) Interruptions and distractions, 2) tasks that cannot be executed in the normal practiced sequence of procedure, 3) Unanticipated new tasks and 4) multiple tasks that must be interleaved. The authors also offer areas to focus on error reduction: 1) Improving effectiveness of checklists and monitoring, 2) strategic management of task demands and 3) training and personal techniques One area that is critically examined is the cognitive aspect associated with processing multiple medias; crews can pay rapt attention to one stream of information at any given moment, while also attempting to manage other demands for attention. Novel situations require focused attention that is relatively slow, effortful and serial. If multiple streams of information compete at the wrong time, critical information or steps in a procedure can be missed, for example information on braking action or proper setting of flaps. These are the types of mistakes that are discovered during mishap investigations, and the goal here is to delve deeper into these cognitive aspects and apply them to future cockpit operations to improve pilot performance. Once applied, the procedures can be measured to see if they had the desired effect and make further refinements as needed. This is addressed in the last section of the book, where examples of applied research at several major airlines are presented. Why should you read this book? This book artfully explains how cognitive processes become overwhelmed during different activities and the brain strategically reduces criteria for accuracy and quality. It also addresses how to look for the traps that appear between demands of procedural requirements and operations, and related conflict between procedural demands and cognitive ability. These adaptations by the brain may be acceptable in the course of normal activities, but can lead to mishaps when they appear in the real world operations of high reliability organizations.

The Labour Day long weekend had ended… Have you attended any election rallies? Someone had quipped the crowd is equivalent (if not, bigger) than a pop star's concert. I was told that a lot of people are there for the freebies (like umbrellas), which if that's truly the case, is just pathetic.
In these rallies, the PAP or opposition parties alike had given speeches (albeit in aggressive tones for some candidates) about addressing Singaporeans' bread and butter needs (rising cost of living is a major point) among other things. To generalise the gist of these speeches, a key "vote-garnering" selling point is promising (well, the word "promise" was emphasised heavily) to fulfil your "wishes" and to ensure a better Singapore. Anyway, I am prompted to create my own personal wish list which I hope would materialise as long as I'd lived.
1. Be my Own Boss:
This has always been my top wish but sadly, I haven't put my heart to seriously pursue it. Maybe the time is not right? Or is this an excuse to defend my procrastination? One thing I know for sure, I need more money and a solid business plan. Yes, I have some ideas but they are floating idyllically in my head. Gotta crystallise these ideas.. Actually, my plan is work for a few more years building up my moolah reserve till I am comfy that it's sufficient. It'll never be sufficient but having just enough capital for only the start-up is insufficient for me to proceed. Some buffer is always prudent. And I haven't reach that stage where I know for sure that I'm ready to go…
Some had advised me to follow my heart and just do it. I guess I should add "Guts" on my list of must-haves then. Each time I read about somebody's cafe or restaurant success story, I would feel so inspired to do the same. Hopefully one day, I'll be able to welcome all to my humble eatery…
2. "Chef" Hubby:
I am so gonna get IT from him for even thinking about this but to mention adding this in my wish list. Believe he would remind me (again) that he'd marry me cos I am able to cook and not the other way round. Never fail to use this line each time I tried to persuade him to cook.. So this is not exactly a wish but a very fat obese hope! It's nice to have someone cook a lovely home-cooked meal for you once in a while. Perhaps on alternate weekends? I think it's cool when couples cook together… One would wash and chop up the vegs while the other marinate the meat…
Ok, I'd admit, one of the reasons for this wish is not so much about him cooking for me but I could do with extra help (other than the washing up) in the kitchen…Hahaha! I BET the hubby would take 5 to throttle my neck right now. Argh!
3. Relax Lah!
This is a super bad habit. I cannot seem to loosen up on days which I had taken leave just to stay at home. I recalled my ex-boss advising me that the world doesn't collapse even if I'd stopped working for a day or two. She is right. Life still goes on. BUT! I'd still can't seem to shake the thought that when I am on leave, I should be taking a break. That means, chill out, relax, hang loose and totally avoiding logging into my work notebook and worrying about the amount of unread emails in my Outlook. YIKES! Calm down woman! Aventurine stone, where are you??
4. Stop asking me if I am tired/pissed-off:
Ok, this can't be help unless I go for some major facial reconstruction and plastic surgery. Problem lies with my facial expression or to put it simply, my face. I don't have what one may describe as a sweet and cheery face. On the contrary, I look broody and pallid most of the time. Blame it on my genes (erm.. duh) and poor blood circulation. Anyway, I have no issues with my looks in general though I can do with lesser wrinkles, some rosy cheeks… hehe… I don't smile very often but that doesn't mean I am pissed off… So I do wish people would stop asking if I am tired or angry.
5. Eat like a Cow and not look like One:
AS IF… Now that's a WISHFUL thinking! Haha…

The newly unveiled George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum has occasioned a lot of reflection on our last president's accomplishments and failures.
There are lessons within those walls. In the case of immigration reform, especially, we'd do well to revisit the good intentions of the Bush administration and how they went awry. We're on the brink of possibly missing another opportunity to resolve this issue.
Early in his administration, Bush set about the task of reforming America's dysfunctional immigration situation. As a Texan, he understood our nation's historic connections with Mexico, expressing sympathy for Mexican-American families separated by visa backlogs.
After the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, such an enlightened view of immigration policy became a hard sell. Any sort of momentum toward dealing with immigrants in a positive manner was scuttled. America went to war. The agency that had managed immigration, the Immigration and Naturalization Service, was dissolved and replaced under the Department of Homeland Security. Border security and fighting terrorism became the focus of immigration policy.
Only in 2007 was Bush able to put immigration reform legislation before Congress. It was killed by his own party.
More than a decade later, another president is on a similar cusp. Barack Obama enjoys unprecedented backing for an overhaul of U.S. immigration law. He is backed by a strong coalition of the faith, business and law enforcement groups.
A new poll released by the National Immigration Forum Action Fund shows that a majority of Americans — even a majority of Republicans — support reforms, including a pathway to citizenship for those who have entered the country illegally.
After November's election, in which their party was abandoned by Latino voters, Republican hardliners were forced to accept that their opposition to reform was too costly.
And then, Boston. The bombings have become a pretext for many Republicans to retreat from sensible immigration legislation, even though the measures have nothing to do with terrorism.
Rep. Steve King of Iowa, for example, has long opposed the Senate's proposals, in particular any proposal to fairly address the 11 million people currently in the country illegally. So it was no surprise that he was among the first to attack the proposed reforms citing the case of the Tsarnaev brothers, the Boston terrorists, whose family had legally immigrated, seeking asylum.
Actually, King didn't even wait until the bombers had been identified. Within 24 hours of the Boston Marathon attack, he was suggesting that immigration reform would make Americans less safe from terrorists.
Other Republicans have followed suit, including Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who in the course of his diatribes bungled basic facts about the Tsarnaev family .
Rep. Bob Goodlatte, a Virginia Republican, is calling for an overhaul to the asylum system. The government should know whether applicants are "engaging in aggressive tactics" in their homelands, he said, indicating little knowledge of the complicated and extremely thorough processes currently in place.
Who could have predicted when the brothers were children — they immigrated at ages 9 and 16 — that they would one day become terrorists against their adopted country?
Lax immigration procedures didn't let alien radicals slip in undetected. Rather, the young men became radicalized while living here, and familiar bureaucratic issues — a lack of communication between federal agencies such as the FBI and the CIA, not checking watch lists for overseas travel appear — appear, at this writing, to have been the point of failure for detecting a threat.
Terrorist attacks are an ongoing concern for all of us. They should not be a pretext for derailing reform we've needed for decades.

Wilkinson (DD-930) was laid down on 1 February 1950 at Quincy Mass. by the Bethlehem Steel Co. Shipbuilding Division reclassified a destroyer leader DL-5 on 9 February 1951; launched on 23 April 1952 sponsored by Lady Catherine Moore the former Mrs. Theodore S. Wilkinson and commissioned on 3 August 1954 Comdr. Donald G. Dockum in command.
After shakedown training out of Guantanamo Bay Cuba and the usual post-shakedown availability Wilkinson departed her home port Newport R.I. on 21 February 1955-with Rear Admiral Arleigh Burke Commander Destroyer Force Atlantic Fleet (and s oon to become the Chief of Naval Operations) and members of his staff embarked-and carried Admiral Burke on an inspection tour that included visits to San Juan Puerto Rico St. Thomas Virgin Islands Guantanamo Bay and Havana Cuba; and Key West Fla. U pon her return the destroyer leader became flagship for Commander Destroyer Flotilla (DesFlot) 2 part of the Atlantic Fleet's antisubmarine forces. For three months thereafter the ship conducted antisubmarine warfare (ASW) exercises.
On 11 July Wilkinson-with 70 1st and 3d class NROTC midshipmen embarked-departed the east coast for a training cruise. During the ensuing voyage the warship touched at Edinburgh Seotland; Copenhagen Denmark and Guantanamo Bay before returning to the United States on 2 September.
Wilkinson departed her home port on 24 October 1955 for air defense exercises in the Gulf of Mexico with Commander DesFlot 6 embarked. During that cruise Wilkinson visited New Orleans and Havana before she arrived back at Newport on 18 N ovember. On 2 December the ship entered the Boston Naval Shipyard for a five-month overhaul and the installation of improved 3-inch antiaircraft guns.
After successfully completing her sea trials for her newly installed 3-inch 70-caliber battery Wilkinson conducted underway training out of Guantanamo Bay. She later visited Port-au-Prince Haiti; Charleston S.C. and Norfolk Va. before taking part in large-scale ASW maneuvers in June. The ship's performance during the fiscal year 1956 earned her the Battle Efficiency "E."
In July 1956 Wilkinson departed Newport bound for San Diego Calif. and duty with the Pacific Fleet. En route to her new home port the frigate visited Havana; Balboa Canal Zone; and Buena Ventura Colombia before she became flagship of Comman der Destroyer Squadron (DesRon) 17-the first ship of her type assigned to the Pacific Fleet.
Between August 1956 and March 1957 Wilkinson operated locally out of San Diego and took part in ASW air defense and amphibious exercises. One highlight of that period occurred on 14 September 1956 when Wilkinson headed a veritable "armad a" of 70 fighting ships during a 1st Fleet review off Long Beach in what some called the largest naval parade on the west coast in 22 years.
During March and April 1957 Wilkinson operated in the Bering Sea and the Aleutians visiting Kodiak and Dutch Harbor Alaska en route to her operating area. While steaming back to San Diego she touched at Esquimalt British Columbia; Seattle Wa sh.; and San Francisco. Later during part of May Rear Admiral Chester Wood Commander Cruiser-Destroyer Force Pacific Fleet embarked in Wilkinson for air defense and ASW exercises. In June the warship visited Portland Oreg. to take part in t he annual Rose Festival activities.
Wilkinson's home port was changed from San Diego to Long Beach in July 1957 and the destroyer leader entered the naval shipyard there in February 1958 for extensive modifications to her power plant. Released from the yard in September the destroy er leader conducted underway training out of San Diego and operated locally for the remainder of 1958
In January 1959 Wilkinson deployed on her first Western Pacific (WestPac) cruise visiting Pearl Harbor Hawaii; Subic Bay Philippines Buckner Bay Okinawa; Kaohsiung Taiwan and the Japanese ports of Yokosuka and Kure before she returned to L ong Beach in March embarking Commander DesRon 19 upon arrival.
After again operating locally between April and October 1959 she participated in various exercises off the coast of California and in another 1st Fleet review. Wilkinson began her second WestPac deployment when she departed Long Beach in October. Coming under the operational control of Commander 7th Fleet Wilkinson took part in the Taiwan Strait patrol ASW tactics and various fast carrier task force operations in the Far East.
Returning to Long Beach in March 1960 Wilkinson entered the naval shipyard there for a five-month overhaul. During that period of repairs and alterations the ship's combat intelligence center ( CIC ) was enlarged and modified and a long-range ai r search radar was added. In addition a DASH (Destroyer Anti-Submarine Helicopter-sometimes sardonically nicknamed the "Down At Sea Helicopter") system-was installed. This change increased Wilkinson's ASW capacity several fold.
Following Wilkinson's departure from the shipyard in August 1960 she carried out six weeks of underway training out of San Diego. She operated locally during October and November and after a month-long leave and upkeep period in December was dep loyed to WestPac for the third time departing Long Beach on 3 January 1961.
En route to the Far East Wilkinson-a unit of Destroyer Division 191-visited Pearl Harbor; Midway; and Apra Harbor Guam. In mid-March 1961 she headed for the South China Sea where an increased American naval presence was required by the Laotian c risis. After operating with a fast carrier task group almost continuously well into the spring the destroyer leader departed WestPac on 12 May and reached Long Beach on the 27th.
She entered the Long Beach Naval Shipyard in June for the installation of improved sonar equipment a task that continued into mid-1962. After refresher training the warship operated in Puget Sound for technical evaluation of her new sonar system and the n returned south down the coast to work with submarines in the southern California operating area.
Following further local operations Wilkinson departed Long Beach on 17 June 1963 to return to the Atlantic Fleet. Calling at the Mexican ports of Acapulco and Salina Cruz en route Wilkinson transited the Panama Canal on 29 June and arrived at Newport on 5 July.
Within two weeks Wilkinson was underway for sonar evaluation that continued until 8 December. During the operation the ship visited Bermuda and New York City. The frigate subsequently made another operational evaluation of the sonar system from 1 July 1964 to 20 May 1965 at which time she reported to Commander Cruiser-Destroyer Force Atlantic Fleet. During that time the ship operated in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean and along the continental shelf between Newport and New York. During th e cruise the ship visited Key West Fla. and conducted type training in the Jacksonville Fla. operating area while steaming back to Newport.
After a pre-overhaul tender availability Wilkinson visited New York City for four days off-loaded ammunition subsequently at Earle N.J. and proceeded to Boston for an overhaul which lasted until 5 February 1966.
After returning via Earle to Newport a little over a month later Wilkinson sailed south to Cuban waters for refresher training-conducting those evolutions between 11 March and 28 April. While still at Guantanamo on 8 April the ship received orde rs at 0310 to assist a burning freighter. Underway at 0407 Wilkinson sped at flank speed to the scene of the disaster and at 0720 reached the stricken Norwegian passenger freighter Viking Princess. A fire and rescue party from USCGC Co ok Inlet (W-384) had meanwhile boarded the blazing merchantman to fight her fires. At 0809 Wilkinson began closing the Nationalist Chinese merchantman Chungking Victory to receive the surviving crew members of Viking Princess-a p rocess completed by 0914. The frigate took the 13 survivors back to Guantanamo where she arrived shortly before noon and disembarked the rescued mariners.
After departing Guantanamo Bay on 28 April Wilkinson touched at San Juan Puerto Rico and reached Newport on 2 May. She remained in port until departing on the last day of the month bound for Boston and an availability. During the ensuing overha ul the ship received a number of repairs and alterations including the final installation of new sonar equipment then being evaluated by the Navy. Briefly departing Boston on 15 August and again on 30 August the frigate conducted sea trials and tested her sonar-during cruises lasting but a day or two-before she completed her availability and sailed for Newport on 31 August reaching her home port the following day.
For the remainder of 1966 Wilkinson remained in port at Newport except for three periods of independent steaming exercises (ISE's)-from 6 to 9 September from 23 to 26 September and from 2 to 5 December. Underway on 15 January 1967 Wilkinson headed south to Argentine waters subsequently taking part in the Argentinian naval review at Mar del Plata from 4 to 8 February on the occasion of the celebrations commemorating the sesquicentennial of Argentina's independence.
Returning to Newport on 5 March Wilkinson then proceeded to the Bethlehem Steel Shipyard at East Boston Mass. where she received a data acquisition system for her sonar equipment. She returned-via Stamford Conn. where she participated in Veter an's Day memorial services-to Newport on 4 May.
Later that month Wilkinson sailed for Montreal Canada where she served as part of the United States exhibit during "United States Week " from 21 to 28 May at the world's fair Expo 67. Highlighting Wilkinson's stay at Montreal was a surpr ise visit to the exposition by President Lyndon B. Johnson. During the ceremonies at the United States exhibit Wilkinson men served as Presidential Honor Guard.
Returning to Newport on 1 June Wilkinson continued further sonar evaluations into the summer and fall months of 1967 operating primarily out of Newport but also east of the Bahamas. Between her periods at sea were times in port for tender availab ilities and type training in the Narragansett Bay operating area.
The ship put into Port Everglades to take on fuel on 3 October and was standing back out on the 5th when a weak cleat snapped while the motor whaleboat was being secured for sea. The whiplash of the line struck a sailor injuring both of his legs and requ iring immediate medical attention beyond that which the ship could provide. Wilkinson immediately headed back to Port Everglades at flank speed radioing ahead for a boat to pick up the injured seaman. A torpedo retriever boat sent out by the Naval Ordnance Laboratory and Test Facility took the man on board to a waiting ambulance at pierside. The seaman was then taken to Homestead Air Force Base hospital where he was treated for fractures of both legs.
After the incident Wilkinson returned to sea and conducted further sonar tests-in company with Grouper (AGSS-214)-before the frigate visited Freeport Grand Bahama from 11 to 13 October. Proceeding back to Newport soon thereafter Wilki nson reached her home port on the 25th but soon headed south for repairs at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard. She returned to her home port on 21 December.
Beginning 1968 in-port at Newport Wilkinson spent much of the rest of the year conducting further technical evaluation of sonar equipment in the Bahamas interspersed with type training in the Mayport operating area and in-port periods at Newport. After a preoverhaul period of availability alongside Yosemite (AD-19) Wilkinson entered the Boston Naval Shipyard on 13 September for her regular overhaul that rounded out the year and lasted into June 1969.
Following her sea trials Wilkinson got underway for Narragansett Bay for sonar tests before she set course for Earle N.J. to load ammunition in preparation for refresher training. Late in July the frigate visited New York City from 25 to 28 Ju ly before she shifted to Newport on the latter date. She remained in her home port for almost a month conducting a dependents' cruise in Narragansett Bay operating areas on the 22d. It was during that cruise that the ship's commanding officer announced t hat Wilkinson was to be decommissioned as part of a cut back in military expenses.
With the cancellation of all her previous schedules Wilkinson shifted to the South Annex of the Boston Naval Shipyard to commence inactivation on 3 September. Shifting to the Naval Inactive Ship Facility at Philadelphia on the 22nd Wilkinson was decommissioned on 19 December 1969 and placed in reserve.
Struck from the Navy list on 1 May 1974
Wilkinson was sold to Luria Brothers. She departed Philadelphia under tow on 19 June 1975 to be scrapped.

So far Yu is it for me. I can't seem to get very good at any one else. My second character would probably be Kanji. But I'm no where near as good with him as with Yu.
Who's your Main?
I've been jumping around between Yu, Chie, & Labrys.
Probably will end up maining Aigis latter since shes my favorite.
When I get the game mine will probably be Kanji (or Chie). The idea of a character that beats people with a chair is amusing to me. This won't be for a bit. I'm too far down the Ace Attorney k-hole right now to play anything else. I already bought the 1st, 3rd, and 1st Investigations game locally and have the second one shipping to me right now. OH GOD IT'S SO GOOD.
@Asian2Go said:
I rock that Yukiko all day, son.
Damn right, only the manliest of men main Yukiko.
I love Mitsuru because she's got range for days. Her standing A has so much range you can actually play rushdown from halfway across the screen. I generally play with a lot of pressure and being able to get at guys from farther than they think I can is super good.
I just need to figure out the 'rules' on the All Out Attack's armor, sometimes I go right through dudes and other times I get knocked out of it.
Man, I haven't really decided yet. I went with Kanji first since he was my favorite character from Persona 4 and really do like him. But I'm also really digging how Yosuke and Naoto play. So I'm still sussing that out. I've played as Kanji the most though, so I'm more likely to use him since some of his combo's aren't too complicated (for me anyway) so I'm leaning that way. But shit, I was really impressed with Naoto's moves when loading up her challenge room this morning.
I'm much better at Teddie and Chie's moves, but I intend to main either Akihiko or Aigis.
After sometime online my main is now Akihiko. Really liked Naoto at first but couldn't get a hang of trap spamming.
Akihiko. He fits my playstyle the most and his Persona abilities are great. His Y does a good amount of damage and his B brings in the opponent, so I can prevent them from projectile spamming/trying to run/baiting me.
Charlie, duders... come on!
Intended to main Naoto, but I still suck at playing her. I'm really, really liking the feel of Shadow Labrys.
I am now maining Labrys instead of Aigis. The mechanic by which Labrys' axe heats up whenever you use it, even if the enemy blocks, is great. It really rewards you for keeping strong pressure on against a blocking opponent. At full heat it even does chip damage on normals.
Once I realized that Chie is actually Jam I started to warm up to her, but I still want to make Elizabeth work.
But between TSW and Darksiders, who has the time!?
I main Teddie and Yosuke
I am really digging Kanji, those grabs... those grabs. Nothing beats a Yu trying to bulldog, then getting scooped, then shocked. Also Kanji's lightning (I think his D) is good for keeping zoners in check.
I want to learn Chie as a backup and possibly Labby or Naoto, but it is gonna take time to get used to her gun tricks.
Yu, for now. Trying to get better at using Aigis and Yosuke. Might swap to one of them later once I've gotten the hang of them.
After some testouts between characters, my new Main is Chie and my subs are Teddie and Akihiko.
As for Navigators, my main is Fuuka and my sub is Nanako.
It's Yukiko or Labrys.
I tend to jump between Labrys, Teddie, and Yu.
Well, those are the ones I win the most games online with.
I'm really getting the hang of Akihiko and I'm TERRIBLE with anyone else. I'm sticking with him.
Absolutely loving Aigis, such a great combination of offensive and ranged attacks, and Orgia mode is awesome for comebacks, or just going on assault. Learning Labrys, but haven't gotten too good with her yet, when I play her I like how aggressive and unrelenting you can be on your opponent.
I've been pretty much rocking Shadow Labrys for a long while, even though I wanted to main Elizabeth when I first got the game. I guess it's because I really like working in tandem with Asterius.
So far it's been Yukiko for me, which I was not expecting at all.

The Cosmic Twins
a parshah overview
Our sages tell us that before G‑d created our world, He created an "earlier" state of existence—the world of Tohu ("Chaos"). But this was a world of "much light and scant vessels." As a result, the vessels burst and the light escaped. G‑d then created "our" world—the world of Tikkun ("Correction"), constructed with "broad containers and scant light" that allow it to function and endure.
("Light" (or) is the Kabbalistic term for an emanation of Divine energy; "containers" (kelim) are the Divine forces that channel, define, and focus the "light." A soul, for example, is a "light," while a body is a "vessel." A world, whether physical or spiritual, consists of lights deriving from the Divine power to reveal and bestow, and vessels deriving from the Divine power to define and delimit.)
There was a reason for this "debacle." G‑d desired that our "correct" world should be built upon the ruins of Tohu, so that we should delve beneath its surface to unearth the "sparks of holiness" that are the residue of this primordial world, tap their potent potential, and ultimately integrate the two realities, capturing the immense light of Tohu in the broad vessels of Tikkun.
The Kabbalists see Esau and Jacob as the embodiment of the cosmic twinship of Tohu and Tikkun.
Esau is the raw, untamed energy of Tohu. He is a destructive force, because he lacks the discipline and control that would channel this energy in a useful, constructive way. But he is also a very powerful force—far more powerful than the constricted and defined energies that animate Jacob's correct and orderly world. The challenge, as we said, is to bring together the cosmic twins in a way that exploits the best of both worlds: to marry the immense energy of Tohu with the focus and control of Tikkun.
The struggle to achieve this synergy is the life-history of the biblical twins, and the essence of human history as a whole. Esau and Jacob emerge from the same womb (where they were already fighting), and the rest of their lives is defined by the effort to bring them back together.
But the conflict is too deep, too vast, to be resolved in one lifetime—even a lifetime as rich, tragic and glorious as Jacob's 147 years. The forces of Tohu are too expansive, too hungry for life, to submit to the rigors of Tikkun; and the vessels of Tikkun are too focused, too structured, to embrace the passions of Tohu.
Some very serious attempts are made. Isaac endeavors to create a partnership between his two sons by bequeathing the spiritual legacy of Abraham to Jacob and granting the material blessings of earth to Esau. But Rebecca intervenes: Esau is still too raw, too unformed, to be entrusted with this role. If he is granted the "dew of heaven and the fat of the land" there'll be another explosion.
Had Esau been allowed to marry his predestined soulmate, Leah, as Jacob married Rachel, the brothers (now brothers-in-law, as well) would have shared in the founding of the nation of Israel. But Leah wept her eyes out at the prospect, and Jacob ended up with both wives (as he had ended up with both blessings) and all twelve tribes.
Upon his return from Haran, Jacob seems ready to take the big step: he dispatches angels and gifts to Esau and initiates a reunion. But on the night before the fateful meeting, Jacob encounters the spirit of Esau, and instead of embracing, man and angel wrestle all night. Jacob, again, emerges as the victor, and exacts a concession from Esau's angel that the blessings—all of them—and the name "Israel" are rightfully and exclusively the younger brother's.
The next morning, the brothers meet in the flesh, but their long-awaited reunion is an anticlimax: both know that the true encounter has already taken place, resulting in yet another battle and victory rather than a union and integration. Jacob locks his daughter Dinah in a chest to prevent her marriage to Esau, eliminating the chance that the daughter will take on the task which her mother had refused (with the result, say our sages, that Jacob loses her not to his twin brother but to a Canaanite prince). Jacob and Esau embrace and kiss, but only superficially; Esau extends a half-hearted invitation for a joint life together, but Jacob drags his feet. The brothers meet again only at their father's funeral, and then in death, when Esau's head (but only his head) finds its resting place in the lap of Isaac in the Cave of Machpelah, on the day that Jacob is laid to rest in the same burial place.
So the quest to unite Tohu and Tikkun extends beyond their lifetimes, to the nations of Israel and Edom. The eight kings who "reigned in Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel" are the volatile forces of Tohu, while the people of Israel proceed to Sinai where they are entrusted with the 613 commandments that serve as the vessels for tikkun olam, the correction and civilization of the world. The conflict rages on in the battles between Judah and Rome, between spirit and matter, between law and lust, to be resolved only when the struggles of humanity culminate in the day when "the saviors shall ascend Mount Zion to judge the mountain of Esau."
The Edomites (children of Esau) were force converted and brought into Judah by the Maccabees. They have since been part of the House of Judah. Perhaps secular, ethnic Jews today are, in fact, Edomites.

With features such as a 2560x1440 screen, Core i5 or i7 processor, 2 terabyte HDD, Infinity speakers, 4 gigabytes of RAM (expandable to 16) and the option for Blu-ray, NVIDIA GeForce 640M graphics, and additional 32 GB SSD, this is definitely a PC geared towards home entertainment consumption, but could probably also function just as well in a professional setting. Advertisement Advertisement The XPS One's rounded edges, black facade, and silver base is nothing eye-popping, but the build quality is solid and doesn't need to be tucked out of sight. And of course it's still running Windows 7, so it remains to be seen just how nice it will play with Windows 8. But the XPS One 27 could fill a void for those who don't need a laptop at home anymore. Especially considering it starts at $1300. Dell says it will arrive in the US in the "coming weeks." [Dell]

Calling B2B Web Service from .Net
Feb 14, 2013 3:29 AM
I am able to successfully call GetTPAConfigService from C# .Net. I get back the results from the service as expected.
However I am not able to successfully call OutboundService web service on the same pattern. Following is the way I am setting the parameters in C# -:
ServiceReference1.OutboundServiceRequest outRequest = new ServiceReference1.OutboundServiceRequest();
ServiceReference1.PartyId sender = new ServiceReference1.PartyId();
sender.Value = "b2b1";
sender.type = "AS2 Identifier";
ServiceReference1.PartyId receiver = new ServiceReference1.PartyId();
receiver.Value = "b2b2";
receiver.type = "AS2 Identifier";
outRequest.to = receiver;
outRequest.from = sender;
ServiceReference1.ItemsChoiceType[] docPropNames = new ServiceReference1.ItemsChoiceType[]
{ ServiceReference1.ItemsChoiceType.documentProtocolVersion,
outRequest.ItemsElementName = docPropNames;
string[] docProps = new string[] { "1.0", "Xml"};
outRequest.Items = docProps;
outRequest.payload = "<ichicsr><header>i am header</header><body>i am body </body></ichicsr>";
ServiceReference1.B2BWSDefaultPortClient client = new ServiceReference1.B2BWSDefaultPortClient();
ServiceReference1.OutboundServiceResponse outResponse = client.Outbound(outRequest);
An exception is received that
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: XML-24129: (Error) prefix of qname \"xsd\" can not be resolved,
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: XML-24065: (Error) xsi:type \"xsd:string\" not resolved to a type definition]"
My document is configured to be an Xml document in B2B.
The payload parameter is AnyType in wsdl. I want to understand what exactly is expected in this parameter? I have tried with Byte Arrays as well then instead of string I get error for "xsd:base64Binary". I believe similar problem may be faced in java as well.
I have the same question

Hi Punit,
In C# is there any way to specify the associated namespaces. Like you are setting the docProps similary can you add the expected namespaces along with the prefix (used for the namespace).
Also if you can check the XML (expected from B2B) separately then could you verify if the prefix
is defined in the XML.

Over the years, solar energy has transformed from being the side habit of the environment-conscious individual to a viable source of green energy for residential and commercial units. Every day, more homeowners and businesses are adopting solar energy as an efficient source of power for their home renovation needs. Many residents of sunny California are also joining the solar movement day by day. However, solar panel installation is not too straightforward. Solar panels can help cut down on costs but require an expensive installation cost. That's why, before you choose a solar energy company, you should know these following things about solar energy.
Financing: There are three financing options for getting a solar power system. Solar leases and Power Purchasing Agreements are financial contracts where a third-party developer owns, operates and maintains the solar system, and a customer agrees to attach the system and purchases its electrical output from the solar services provider for a calculated period. Solar loans are accessible at some banks and companies across the nation. Property Assessed Clean Energy financing helps residents and commercial owners meet the complete cost of establishing a solar system with an adjustable repayment program extending up to 20 years. You can pay the loan off gradually.
Solar energy options for customers
Whether you're looking for Fresno solar companies, Central Valley solar companies, or Visalia solar companies, one thing you can be sure of is that you'll never run out of options. Here's a list of solar energy companies who can meet your energy needs and help you contribute to a greener earth.
Solar Universe – Based in California, Solar Universe has provided locally-owned and managed solar power options to communities throughout the nation since 2008. By dint of their locally controlled and operated franchise system, they've formed a novel solar franchise chain which delivers sustainable energy savings to customers and companies throughout the nation. It can be a good supplier of solar power options for California residents.
Horizon Solar Power – This company is mostly focused on the Southern California region which boasts one of the greatest proportions of solar power usage in the country. They are a preeminent provider of domestic solar solutions. They focus on a solar installation in rehabs, and in new home construction. Thanks to their unique payment contracts with solar module and part producers, they happen to be the foremost provider of commission panels to private customers.
Complete Solar – this company gives California citizens customized solar solutions to produce optimal power production. With their exclusive software program, HelioQuote™, they conserve your money with the industry's most modernized and quick installation.
With years of serving the Central Valley, any questions you have can be answered with just one phone call. Free estimates can also be made through a questionnaire that can be used over the phone or through email. Saving you money and helping the planet are their main priorities.
Verengo Solar – This company serves clients everywhere in California to switch their homes from using electrical energy to solar energy and presents information about discounts. It is a top-tier household solar provider listing on the Solar Power World rankings. It can serve your Fresno Solar needs efficiently.
Deciding between solar loans, solar leasing and PACE financing depends on case-by-case differences. Although one choice may be suitable for your next-door-neighbor, another choice could be useful for you.

Opinions, Context & Ideas from the TPM Editors TPM Editor's Blog
Good Point
On one hand, this is perfectly understandable since such former intelligence employees bring much-needed subject matter expertise to the task of oversight, along with an existing security clearance. On the other hand, they may also possess a narrow, compliant perspective and a set of personal interests that limit their effectiveness, particularly if they ever hope to return to the ranks of their former employers. Meanwhile, it is hard to think of an intelligence committee staff member who joined the committee following a career devoted to civil liberties, government accountability or personal privacy.
That's not a smear of intel committee staff. It's just another way in which the loop is closed. Tightly circumscribed oversight by undermanned committee staffs, many of whom were themselves once members of the intel community, goes to the same basic point: What we think of as congressional oversight is very different from the kind of oversight the intelligence community gets.

5 Actors Who Could Play The Flash in 'Justice League'
- By
- 297 Comments
The Flash; the Scarlet Speedster; the Fastest Man Alive. DC has once again given the title to Barry Allen for the time being, but every gathering of DC's greatest heroes has required a man or woman blessed with superspeed.
With the upcoming Justice League movie, it's practically a guarantee that The Flash will be making his big-screen debut. As always, the question of casting now arises.
We've put realistic options above outlandish 'dream-casting' in determining our list, based on the apparent tone and direction that Warner Bros. is taking with their superhero films.
Here are our picks for 5 Actors Who Could Play The Flash in Justice League.
Australian-born Liam McIntyre may not be a name or face everyone will recognize, but fans of Starz's Spartacus: Vengeance know that the titular star (and self-professed 'nerd') definitely deserves more credit than he's receiving.
From a visual standpoint, McIntyre fits the demands: blonde hair, blue eyes, and at 6'2″ is imposing enough to not just sell a crippling punch, but convey the strength and authority of a slave-turned-freedom fighter.
Despite the dark and gruesome tone of Spartacus, McIntyre has shown himself to be the kind of extroverted glad-hander with the fan community that both Barry Allen and Warner Bros. will need to get fans on board, and excited.
While his resume isn't as long or glowing as other of our contenders, if Warner Bros. decides to go with a lesser-known actor, don't be surprised if McIntyre's name comes up.
A few years ago Joel Edgerton wasn't well-known outside of Australia, but these days it's hard to find a superhero movie that doesn't have the actor rumored to be in consideration. To this point, however, he has yet to sign on the dotted line.
It's Edgerton's ability to build intriguing characters out of lacking scripts (see: The Thing) that holds the most promise – a skill capitalized on for Zero Dark Thirty (2012), using the actor's brief role for most of their advertising.
With a standout lead performance in Warrior (2011) and upcoming roles alongside Natalie Portman and Michael Fassbender in Jane Got a Gun (2013), and Leo DiCaprio in The Great Gatsby (2013), Edgerton's star is definitely on the rise.
If the filmmakers are looking to get the attention of discriminating moviegoers, not just mass audiences, Edgerton would fit the bill. Provided he doesn't sign with Marvel first.
Chris Pine may have a lot on his plate at the moment – as Captain Kirk in J.J. Abrams' rebooted Star Trek, and now Jack Ryan – but Ryan Reynolds proved even the most sought-after stars can find time to suit up for superhero action.
Pine was in the running to play Hal Jordan before Reynolds snagged the role, but the qualities that made him an ideal Jordan also apply to Barry Allen – explaining the pair's lasting friendship. WB shouldn't miss out twice.
Since Reynolds snagged the emerald ring first, it seems fitting that Pine should be cast as The Flash – the hero many thought Reynolds was born to play – although as the reliable do-gooder Allen, instead of wisecracking Wally West.
Pine's got the smarts to sell the athletic hero and hardworking scientist, while possessing enough humor (and star power) to get fans begging for a stand-alone movie.
His name has been brought up in Justice League discussion as the next Batman, but we can't help but see Armie Hammer as a different League member. With a standout performance in The Social Network (2010) as spoiled socialites, we want to see what he could do with an actual good guy.
Hammer's blockbuster-cred will be dispelled or proven with this summer's The Lone Ranger (2013), portraying the titular blonde-haired, blue-eyed lawman begrudgingly embarking on a quest for justice as a masked vigilante.
The shades of Barry in Ranger Reid should already be clear (if you have doubts, watch the trailer), so a strong performance alongside Johnny Depp's Tonto will prove he's a leading man who can share a spotlight with big personalities.
Should DC and Warner Bros. choose to cast young, there's no better choice than Hammer.
The similarities between the 'gee-whiz' personality and reluctant heroism of Night Owl (a.k.a. Dan Dreiberg) in Zack Snyder's Watchmen and the wholesome nature of Barry Allen are clear to any comic fan. So in some ways, audiences have already seen Wilson tackle the subtler aspects of Allen's character – as one of a troubled film's bright spots.
He may not have the blonde locks, but Wilson has the right mix of likeability, good looks, and quiet humility that a big screen incarnation of Allen needs. Since he's made a habit in his career of stealing scenes from established actors, Wilson has proven he can carry his own alongside the likes of Ryan Reynolds and Henry Cavill.
It's too early to tell if DC and Warner Bros. will wish to take The Flash's JL role and possible solo movie as seriously as Batman and Superman, but we'd bet Wilson could handle it, either way.
That concludes our list of actors that we feel could play the wholesome, shy, but ultimately devoted and fiercely loyal Barry Allen on screen. As past superhero films have proven, any actor can by made to look the part with an intense fitness plan and some CG assistance. But sporting a bow tie – that takes serious skill.
What are your hopes for a live-action take on The Flash? Do you agree with our picks, or have you been hoping to see another actor in the part?

text: Every morning on my way to grab a coffee, I turn on my local Phoenix, Ariz., radio station, Mix 96.9, for some good music, a bit of news and some conversation from the a.m. hosts. Usually the banter is funny and timely, comments coming in about pop culture and whatever happens to be in the headlines. This past Monday morning, however, I was shocked speechless when host Mathew Blades brought up the subject of a photo of three women he had seen on his wife's Facebook page over the weekend. He labeled the women "transsexuals" and urged listeners to go to the Mix 96.9 website or Facebook page to gawk at this seemingly hilarious picture -- hilarious due to the fact that all three on-air hosts couldn't stop laughing about it.

I sold my wife's SE535s on the sale forum on 2/24. I received the PayPal payment ($299 gross, $290.03 net) and informed the buyer it would take a few days to send them out as I was traveling. I sent them out Priority with signature confirmation.
Three or four days passed with no word from the buyer so I sent an email to see if he was happy with the SE535. A couple of days later I receive a reply that he had not received the IEMs yet. I told the buyer I will contact the PO and initiate a claim. I said I would refund if the SE535 were not received in the next day or two.
Nothing received. I told the buyer I would refund on March 7. I was actually swamped at work (PayPal is blocked and you can't refund from a smartphone) and sent a full-refund this morning; $299 sent ($290.03 net to buyer)
Buyer cancels refund (refunded) stating I did not pay him in full. Buyer asks for a refund via PayPal gift so that he's not hit with the $8.97 in fees.
I received $290.03 net ($299 gross) from the initial transaction when buyer paid me on 2/24. Now he is demanding $299 NET; as such, he has denied the refund I sent.
Comments? He's stating he will go to PayPal and request that he receive $299 net of fees.
