http://descendants.wikia.com/wiki/Tourney | in : Content Tourney Edit Comments ( 24 ) Share Tourney is Auradon ' s favorite sport , a cross between lacrosse , hurling , soccer , and football . Contents show Teams Every Tourney team is made up of at least 7 players , in the following roles : 3 Forwards , whose main duty is to pass the ball around and score , further subdivided into : The Left Forward and the Right Forward , who are generally made of the best scorers and fastest players and The Center Forward , by far the most offensive player who leads the charge into the opposing team ' s side , and blocks almost as much as Defenders 2 Defenders , whose main duty is to protect their fellow players from projectiles and actively block and stop their opponents , one Left , and one Right 1 Goalie , and 1 Dragoneer , the player that mans the Dragon Cannon ( See below ) Rules The goal of Tourney is simple : two teams with 7 players each attempt to get a Tourney ball into the opposing teams net , with whoever has the highest score after the end of the match wins . What makes it violent , dangerous , and difficult to do is that players are free and actively encouraged to tackle or otherwise strike their opponents , knocking them to the ground ( formally known as a " Block " ) , along with the " Kill Zone , " an area where players are shot at with projectiles called Dragon Fire . Field The Tourney field is rectangular in shape , with two goals on opposite ends , and a red and white painted section in the very center called the " Kill Zone . " It marks the spot where players can be shot at with Dragon Fire and is also used to know when to move at the start of a match . Or half the size of a football field Gameplay The start of a match has all forwards and defenders players from each team line up just behind the Kill Zone , in a 3 - 2 formation , both Defenders and Center up front , the Left and Right Forwards some distance behind them . The ball is thrown into the kill zone , upon which one Left or Right Defender from each team will try to take possession of it . Once the ball is claimed by either team , the Defenders and the other Forwards are now allowed to move . Dragoneers can not shoot at any player until someone crosses back into the Kill Zone from either side of the field . The ball can only be moved by hitting it with the Tourney stick , balancing it on the head while the player moves , or even ricocheting off helmets and shields if players are so inclined . In case of a score or a successful save by either Goalie , the ball is put back into play as a " Long Ball , " and should fly over the Kill Zone and into the side of the opposing team . Equipment Due to the incredibly dangerous nature of Tourney , players are extremely well - padded with body armor to help absorb blows and prevent serious injury . Except for the Dragoneer , every Tourney player will have : A Helmet A Tourney stick Body Armour , worn underneath their jersey Shorts Gloves , and Spiked Cleats Uniform Defenders are unique in that they wield shields in their off - hands , while Dragoneers man the Dragon Cannon Dragon Cannon About the most unique feature of Tourney is the Dragon Cannon , a gas - powered gun that fires high - speed but non - lethal projectiles called Dragon Fire at players . Getting hit hurts quite a bit or can easily cause players to stagger and lose their balance , making Defenders and their durable shields vital for crossing it with ease , or for Forwards to be particularly hard to target and agile . It ' s used in the Death Zone . Blocking Tackling , tripping , or outright wrestling with your opponent is called a " Block . " There are many means of blocking an opponent , but the ones that are seen are : Ramming into your opponent with your body Clashing tourney sticks and wrestling Tripping your opponent with your legs , or Tripping your opponent by crouching low like a turtle Smashing your shield into your opponent Actually hitting them with the tourney stick like a bat seems to be an illegal move School Leagues Tourney appears to be the sport of choice of many schools , their members having a great deal of respect and popularity within the student body , and tournaments being well - attended , monitored , and enjoyed with a great deal of fanfare . Auradon Prep has such the Fighting Knights , composed of Ben ( # 7 ) ( Captain , Left / Right Forward ) Chad ( # 23 ) ( Left / Right Forward ) , Carlos ( # 101 ) ( Left / Right Defender ) , Jay ( # 8 ) ( Center Forward ) , Aziz , Brendan , Miguel ( # 44 ) , Tyrone ( # 32 ) , Akiho ( # 42 ) , William ( # 12 ) , Li ( # 85 ) , and Emir ( # 26 ) . Jay is by far one of the best players , being aggressive , physically powerful and tough to block , and incredibly fast and agile , making him a hard - to - hit target by Dragoneers and a dreaded opponent to see coming at you if you ' re not on his side . Coach Jenkins supervises them , scouting out new players among the student body , offering moral support , and helping players such as Carlos improve . Inter - school rivalries seem to alive and well despite their existence being for less than 20 years , such as Auradon Prep ' s Fighting Knights with the Sherwood Forest Falcons . In the Descendants app , Neverland ' s team is called the Neverland Gators . In Return to the Isle of the Lost , Neverland ' s team is called the Lost Boys . The Imperial Academy also has a team coached by Li Shang , and Olympus has a team that , in older times " was the force to be reckoned with – always difficult to beat the gods . " In Rise of the Isle of the Lost , the Fighting Knights defeat the Seaside Mermen . Known teams Name Location Trainer Auradon Fighting Knights Auradon Prep Coach Jenkins Sherwood Forest Falcons Sherwood Forest Unknown Lost Boys / Neverland Gators Neverland Unknown Imperial Academy Team Imperial Academy Li Shang Seaside Mermen Atlantica Olympus Tourney Team Olympus Trivia Possibly due to budget and the difficulty of creating and designing entirely new equipment , all of the gear used by the characters in the movie have been borrowed from other sports Helmets are from lacrosse , with a slight modification to give it the comb and the small visor in the team ' s secondary color , along with their jerseys and body armor Gloves are from lacrosse " Tourney Sticks " are actually Hurls , from the Irish sport Hurling . Colour schemes for teams tend to follow one base color and a complementary color , along with their choice of shield pattern . For example , the Fighting Knights have Blue and Gold , as seen on the horizontal stripes on their shields , while the Sherwood Falcons have Green and White , with a checkered design .

http://design.tutsplus.com/tutorials/create-unique-rust-and-distress-effects-in-adobe-photoshop--cms-21930 | Design & Illustration Photo Manipulation Create Unique Rust and Distress Effects in Adobe Photoshop by Kirk Nelson 9 Sep 2014 Difficulty : Intermediate Length : Medium Languages : Photo Manipulation Adobe Photoshop Photo Effects Poster Design Graphic Design What You ' ll Be Creating This tutorial is an excerpt from a larger set of instruction found in the Tuts+ course Advanced Photo Manipulation : Movie Poster Effects Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available . Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video . This tutorial will deal with one aspect of that larger project , creating custom rust and distress effects . Because when you are stomping around a city in your giant robot suit beating up enormous alien creatures . You can expect to take a few hits . Your mechsuit is n ' t going to be pristine ! This tutorial falls under the umbrella of photo manipulation , so we will use photos as our reference to create the custom wear and tear on our metal giant . So download the source Photoshop file and project photos , and follow along as we add grime , grunge , rust and scratches to our massive metal man . Tutorial Assets This tutorial uses photos provided by the author and freely available for your own private use . In the sidebar , look for the Download Attachments link , then save the zip file to your system extract the source RustEffects - Starter . psd file along with six texture photos we will be using along the way . 1 . Use Custom Textures from Photographs Advertisement Step 1 Open the RustEffects - starter . psd file . Notice that the file contains only three layers : a background , an accessories layer , and a layer for a very clean metal robot . This figure was constructed using various parts of photographs from metal objects . The assembly looks good , but it lacks realism due to the almost sterile appearance of the metal pieces . By adding in rust , scratches , grime , etc . The figure will appear more believable . Step 2 Open the texture file DSC_0195 . jpg and use the Polygonal Lasso Tool ( L ) to create a very rough selection around the metal area to include plenty of the rust and other damage . Then go to Edit > Copy Step 3 Return to the main project file and go to Edit > Paste to deposit the copied texture onto a new layer . Make sure the texture layer is above the Base Robot layer . Step 4 Duplicate the texture layer with Layer > New > Layer Via Copy ( Control - J ) and reposition the copy below the original . Then hide the original texture layer by clicking the eyeball icon next to the thumbnail in the Layers panel . Change the Blend Mode of the duplicate layer to allow the texture to blend with the pixels behind it . The texture and background will determine which mode to use . In this case , Overlay is a good choice . Step 5 Transform the texture layer with Edit > Free Transform ( Control - T ) to roughly fit over one of the chest plates of the robot . It does n ' t need to be an exact fit , but the scale of the texture should be small enough to portray the large scale of the robot . Step 6 Before committing the transformation , right - click the texture and choose Warp from the context menu . Use the warp handles to shape the texture into a curve that matches the topography of the metal piece . When you are satisfied with the shape commit the transform by pressing Enter or clicking the checkmark icon in the options bar . Step 7 Clip the texture layer to the robot layer by holding down the Alt key while clicking the line between the layers . When done correctly the texture layer ' s thumbnail will indent and a small down pointing arrow icon will appear next to it . This clipping ensures the texture is only visible over the robot pixels , and not the background . Step 8 Use the Eraser ( E ) to further refine where the texture appears . Use a soft edged brush tip on the eraser to lightly remove obvious seams and areas where the texture should n ' t be visible over other metal pieces . Step 9 Continue the same process of texturing different elements of the robot . Create duplicates of the original layer as many times as needed , using different portions of the texture . Copy in additional texture areas from the other stock photos so there is a good variety to the overall appearance . In our project we used nearly two dozen texture layers . It can be tedious work , but the final effect is worthwhile Step 10 Use the texture shots of small mechanical elements to help add scale and realism to the robot figure . The tighter the detail , the larger the robot will appear . 2 . Create Custom Scratch Brushes Layering in textures is an excellent tool for adding wear and details to a surface . Adding in rust and scratch effects take the overall piece to another level . This section of the tutorial details how to create custom rust and scratch brushes from the texture photos and use them to add realistic damage to the metal of our hero robot . Step 1 Open the file DSC_0195 . JPG and make a rough selection of the scratches near the top of the file . Copy the selection with Edit > Copy ( Control - C ) Step 2 Create a new document with File > New ( Control - N ) Photoshop automatically fills in the size of the new file with the dimensions of the copied pixels . Click OK in the New dialogue box . Then paste into the new file with Edit > Paste ( Control - V ) Step 3 remove the color information with Image > Adjustments > Desaturate ( Shift - Control - U ) . Then open the Levels adjustment with Image > Adjustments > Levels ( Control - L ) . Pull both outside adjustment handles in towards the center to create intense contrast in the texture . The goal is to get the scratches as a bright white against the darker pixels . Step 4 Photoshop ' s brush tips define black areas as positive , and the texture here has them as negative so go to Image > Adjustments > Invert ( Control - I ) to change the textures so the scratches are black and the metal is light grey . Step 5 Use the Eraser ( E ) with a soft edges brush tip to remove the hard edges and make a more feathered transition . Step 6 Go to Select > Color Range and choose the Shadows option from the Select menu . Adjust the Fuzziness and Range sliders until the preview show a good selection of the scratch areas . In our example , we used 38 % and 54 respectively . Hit OK to generate the selection . Step 7 Copy the select to a new layer with Layer > New > Layer Via Copy ( Control - J ) then the original layer can be deleted . Step 8 Make any further touch - ups with the Eraser Tool ? ( to remove and remaining hard edges . Then define a new brush tip by going to Edit > Define Brush Preset and giving the new brush a name . Step 9 Return to the main project file . Create a new layer on top of the rest of the texture layers for the scratches . Clip the scratch layer in with the rest . Use the Brush Tool ( B ) and select the newly created , custom scratch brush . Select a bright gray color and reduce the brush size as needed . Create the scratch effect by single clicks , do n ' t drag the brush as you would a normal brush , this technique works more like a stamp . Step 10 Continue adding scratch effects using a variety of color and sizing of the brush . Right - click to get the Brush Context menu to make use of the rotation widget so all the scratches are not going the same direction . 3 . Create Custom Rust Effects Adding custom rust into the composition uses a very similar process as adding the scratches . Use a source texture photo to create a custom brush , then apply directly to the robot ! Open the file DSC_0782 . JPG and notice the delicious rust coloring and texture along the metal . Especially on the right side . The screws along the right are interrupting the texture and need to be removed . Use the Elliptical Marquee Tool ( M ) to create a selection around each screw and go to Edit > Fill . Choose Content Aware from the Fill menu and hit OK to let Photoshop fill in the selection with non - screw texture ! Select > Color Range again . Change the Select option to Sampled Colors and sample some of the reddish rust area from the photo . The Fuzziness slider will control how sharp the selection edge ends up . When satisfied with the selection , hit Go to to copy the rust selection to a new layer . Hide the background layer and use the to remove any hard edges from the rust texture . Create the rust brush by going to Edit > Define Brush Preset Return to the project file and add a new layer for the rust texture . Remember to clip the layer in with the others . Use the new rust brush to add subtle rust effects to the robot . Enhance the effect by using a rusty - red colors and adjusting the layer ' s Blend Mode . In our example we used # c69d5c and Color Burn Step 7 The texturing process frequently has a tendency to make the subject darker than intended . This is simply a result of laying so many pixels together , especially when they are primarily dark hued . Correct this issue by adding a Curves Adjustment Layer and clipping it to the top of the texture layers . Add two control points to the center area of the curve and pull them upwards slightly to brighten up the robot . Awesome Work , You ' re Done ! Congratulations ! You ' ve completed the texturing of the giant , battle weary robot using custom textures , scratch brushes , and rust effects ! Hopefully this project helps you realize just how versatile and powerful custom texturing can be when creating realistic photo manipulation projects . Want More ? Did you find this tutorial helpful ?

http://designandtime.com/we/blog/?p=2895 | Home Features Articles Create Drifts of Roses Create Drifts of Roses If you are looking for a low growing plant that is maintenance free , blooms from spring to fall and only has to be planted once – remember two words ; Drift Roses . A cross between a miniature rose and ground cover roses , Drift Roses pack a petite - sized punch . They inherited their manageable size and repeat - blooming nature from miniature roses . Introduced in 2006 , Drift Roses have been tested extensively under diverse climate conditions and are hardy to Zone 5 . Drift Roses were introduced by the same company , Conard - Pyle Co . who brought us the Knock Out rose . Smaller in stature to Knock Out Roses , Drifts will give you low massing of color in the 1 - 1 / 2 to 2 foot height range spreading to 3 to 4 feet wide . Naturally dwarf , they have an added bonus of attractive foliage and almost continuously bloom from spring to frost ( bloom cycle about every 5 - 6 weeks ) . Winter hardy to zone 4 . Coral Drift Rose Drift Roses have a versatile habit Drift Roses work well in the landscape , in both southern and most northern regions . Use them in borders , entryways , for erosion control , foundation plantings , around garden ponds , landscape beds , mass planting , median strips , perennial gardens , on hillsides and in small groups . Stunning low maintenance combinations Try Drifts in containers paired with complimentary plants ; annuals , perennials or grasses . Pink Drift Roses brighten up a landscape Sweet Drift is a double rose with clear pink petals I recently planted up a container for a client that featured a Coral Drift Rose paired with a similarly colored Bougainvillea and Purslane for a stunning low maintenance combination . The Coral Drift Rose works especially well in southern climates where the sun is so intense . It works very effectively to brighten up borders and to gives empty spaces a bit of zing . The pretty pastel types do n ’ t seem to work in the tropics , but in northern climes the pastel colors are luscious – evocative of English Garden roses , but less fussy . The Drift Rose series is composed of seven varieties : Apricot Drift NEW IN 2010 Icy Drift NEW IN 2010 Sweet Drift Coral Drift Pink Drift Red Drift Peach Drift Pink Drift Roses Red Drift Roses Peach Drift Coral colored Drift Rose in a pot , paired with a similar color Bougainvillea Drift Roses range in size from 2 to 3 feet wide x 1 - 1 / 2 feet tall . The low , manageable habit of Drift Roses makes them perfect for small gardens , hillsides , perennial beds and even awkward areas . They brighten up borders and fill in empty spaces around your favorite established plants . Conard - Pyle Nursery web page Help create an art and music center in Safety Harbor Growing roses in a sand pit 8 comments on “ Marilyn Vanbderpool says : June 21 , 2011 at 7 : 11 pm The drift roses are lovely – but how do they do in hot and humid Florida ? Shannon O ' Leary - Beck says : June 22 , 2011 at 1 : 39 pm Boy , those photos are spectacular ! I especially loved the ones in the pots . These roses sound like something even I could grow … you ’ ve inspired me to get some ! Siobhan June 22 , 2011 at 4 : 36 pm Marilyn - They are troopers . My clients are crazy about them and excited to finally have a hardy replacement for all the flowering shrubs they have lost , planting them at number of clients gardens recently and they are going strong . They can take the heat and the cold . Some leaf damage here and there , if you really inspect them close up . I have sprayed mine with some Neem Oil and that seems to have done the trick . Nancy Armitage June 25 , 2011 at 11 : 14 am Oh , drift roses may be the answer for me too ! I love hibiscus , but gave them up because I ’ m tired of fighting mealy bugs , which apparently have come to Oldsmar to stay and have decimated my hibiscus ( after 20 yrs of thriving ) . I planted Petunias this year . They did well for awhile , but now are brown and scraggly , in spite of frequent watering . Do you know if mealy bugs like drift roses ? Is that what you sprayed the Need Oil for ? Nancy Armitage June 25 , 2011 at 11 : 31 am Question : I think my black rubber hose may contain lead that may be leaching into the water with which I water my outdoor plants . Also , when I spray hose water into my plastic watering can , the water foams and gives off a chemical odor . Maybe the plastic is leaching Bisphenol A ( BPA ) ? Both hose and watering can are stored on a covered porch , not in direct sun , but in the heat of the day , every day . Do you think chemicals from the hose or watering could harm my Siobhan June 25 , 2011 at 4 : 17 pm Nancy - I would be surprised if the hose had lead , but it might be breaking down if it is really old . The chemical smell in the water , does n ’ t sound good . Do a comparison with hose and without hose . Try smelling the water that comes directly from the hose bib to see if it has a funky smell . If it does , have your water tested . Mealy bugs - yes , try the Neem oil . I have not seen meally bugs on my Drift Roses . There were some spots on my roses , not black spot , but small black spots . The spots went away after I sprayed them with a Neem oil solution . For good garden hygiene spray your garden every couple of weeks with Neem . If you have infestations , spray every couple of days . Brook June 26 , 2011 at 4 : 01 pm How much water do drift roses need ? Can they survive in hot , DRY , climates ? They ’ re pretty . Thanks for the tip . I like low maintenance in flowers and people . ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Brook June 26 , 2011 at 7 : 25 pm Brook - Once established you might be able to get away with watering once a week , but make sure it is a deep watering . If they wane , try Quick Start , a Miracle Gro product , helps elevate shock . Stay tuned , we have a new article coming out on Old Fashioned Roses that work in hot climates . 1 Pings / Trackbacks for " Create Drifts of Roses " Roses are Easy Again | The Garden Fairies June 21 , 2011 at 9 : 22 am [ … ] Drift Roses , Knock Out Roses and Easy Does it Roses [ … ] | [

Power cycling did not fix it . It does lock up sometimes on shutdown and I have to manually unplug it . But this is first time I started getting these " device does not support audio codec " errors . Odd thing is if i wait the Pandora app will display the songs and sometimes a song will play . I have latest firmware M20_156 . I thought maybe it had some software corruption , and wanted to re - flash the firmware but the Internet site was not responding . ( Yes I checked the network diagnostic , even reset my router . My Kindle UPDATE 12 / 2 / 14 : I reset ALL settings to Factory Defaults , rebooted ran through the setup process . Same issue with Pandora . Long load times . Eventually a song will play but in the middle of the screen is an Error msg box that says , " ERROR : The device does not support the current audio codec . " After the song plays and the system goes into screensaver , it will display the next song title for 20 seconds then the next title . . and so on until a song plays again Solved ! Go to Solution .

Reset the unit to Factory Default Settings . aisha jamil Posts : 545 Joined : Sun Jul 02 , 2006 11 : 54 am » Wed Mar 11 , 2015 1 : 52 pm Thank you for your response . Apparently you did not full read my post . The UPDATE 12 / 2 / 14 section in particular . I stated that I RESET to factory settings using the ALL , which resets everything . I re - performed the initial setup . I did this again after you sent this hoping that maybe Sony had updated the Pandora app to fix this issue . Well , no it is still an issue . So my questions are : 1 . Are the codecs hardware based or software based ? 2 . And if software based then are they delivered / updated via firmware updates to the unit or does Pandora provide them ? 3 . Can I re - apply the latest firmware ? I want to try to re - apply the latest update but Sony does not provide a mechanism for that . Also as I stated earlier the Internet Update does not work . I get . . . " ca n ' t communicate with server , try again later " . Even though my Network diagnostics all check out fine and the System settings say i am connected to the provisioning server . I tried to use the USB port with the UPDATES downloaded to a memory stick and it said I already had the latest firmware , no I tested other apps and they work ( slow to launch but eventually work ) I watched some you tube videos as a distraction to the recent loss of Pandora . I also stated that if I wait long enough eventually a song will play in Pandora and then another long " loading " spell . I think some of the content uses a codec which is currently still functioning . Please pass this up the ladder to a higher tier . I really want to get this Pandora app working properly again . If there is no fix other than to RMA it , I think I will just buy a different brand and take the loss . After reading many posts about how Sony handles these issues and the reliance on Sony servers being operational in order for apps to work . . . I think this is the main issue , an overloaded Sony system . I suspect that all of the app code is really located on a Sony server and that the unit is basically a profile / shortcut with minimal data actually local to it . We use Thank you for any help " like letting me try to re - load firmware again - issue me a special ' update ' " .

Using a computer , log in to the Sony Essentials Website Select Manage Product Select your HomeShare device . Verify the link status . If your system is unlinked , click on Link to Service and then register your Pandora account . NOTE : If your system is still linked to your Pandora account , Unlink from Service will be displayed instead of Link to Service . Thanks . > Joffrey If my post answers your question , please mark it as " Accept as Solution " Talitha Kukk 536 Sun Oct 08 , 2006 1 : 14 am » Wed Mar 11 , 2015 1 : 27 pm The link status only pertains to premium content not the standard free stuff . Pandora and others show no link status at all . There are 4 premium apps that I do not care to link to . Strike 2 Sony support . Anyway I figured it out on my own and with searching the forum . To anyone else with similar issues , I changed my router ' s primary DNS setting to 8 . 8 . 8 . 8 . I already had it as my number 3 , listed after my ISP provided DNS servers . I will add 8 . 8 . 4 . 4 as my secondary and ditch my ISP provided DNS settings . changing the DNS setting solved all my issues with sluggish response , firmware update now connects to Sony server . Pandora is working again . I did not suspect DNS was the issue because all my other computers , tablets and phones did not have any issues . Only the Sony Blue ray player was crippled . I now know what to check for next time . Since sony did not answer my other questions , I have deduced that the player is a dumb device and completely relies on accessing the apps stored on Sony servers . The player is like a Citrix device accessing a terminal server . Spotty connections will yield poor and crippled performance . I hope others read this and fix their problems that may be related . Thanks . Reven Lord 493 Mon May 21 , 2007 9 : 56 pm » Wed Mar 11 , 2015 2 : 19 pm Having the same problem since sony wont help you maybe you can help me . I have the same issues with pandora I use wifii provider is att u - verse any ideas ? thanks Daramis McGee 498 Mon Sep 03 , 2007 10 : 47 am » Wed Mar 11 , 2015 12 : 57 pm I am having the same issue . " Error - the device does not support the current auido codec . " Not a tech expert so I do n ' t even know what a codec is but I have tried : a ) unplugging and replugging it from the electrical outlet b ) turning it off on and c ) unplugging and replugging the HDMI cable from the player to the sound system d ) unplugging and replugging the network cable ( we direct - connect , not through wifi ) e ) verfiying we have the latest firmware ( as of 2 / 7 / 15 ) f ) reset to facgtory defaults g ) Hubby checked the DNS ( 8 . 8 . 8 . 8 is Google public , and we were already using it - just thought I ' d check the previous poster ' s solution ) h ) reactivated pandora once the factory settings were complete STILL NOT WORKING . We are in a Google Fiberhood ( something new in limited markets ) and are connected via the new fiber ' wire ' . Not having any other issues on any other device with Pandora . Anyone have any other bright ideas ? Laura - Jayne Lee 530 Sun Jul 02 , 2006 4 : 35 pm » Wed Mar 11 , 2015 1 : 36 pm Did you try power cycling your network router ? Also , when I was having this issue , the firmware check would fail as well . Reset all network gear . Good luck . D LOpez 512 Sat Aug 25 , 2007 12 : 30 pm » Wed Mar 11 , 2015 1 : 59 pm Well mine also was acting up again . And again for me my router reverted back to weird static DNS settings . So I zeroed out those static DNS entries in my router and saved the changes and rebooted the router . I verified that the static settings were gone and that the ISP Provided DNS was again primary 8 . 8 . 8 . 8 and secondary 8 . 8 . 4 . 4 . I have no clue as to why my router is forcing static DNS on its own . Very strange . But anyway you said Robyn Lena 517 Mon Jan 01 , 2007 6 : 17 am » Wed Mar 11 , 2015 1 : 22 pm @ grodda , I ' ve just been reading through your post and I notice that you have now discovered your own fix for this issue . Well done ! ! Might I suggest marking your orignal post about this fix as an ' Accepted Solution ' so that others can find it more easily . Currently it looks like your post has not been solved . john page 512 Thu May 31 , 2007 10 : 52 pm 10 posts • Page of Return to Blu - ray Players Jump to : | [

http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/10.3/main/get-started/choosing-the-3d-display-environment.htm | Introducing ArcGIS for Desktop Whats new in ArcGIS 1031 Whats new in ArcGIS 103 A quick tour of ArcMap A quick tour of ArcCatalog A quick tour of ArcGlobe and ArcScene Extensions of ArcGIS ArcGIS tutorials Set up ArcGIS for Desktop Administering ArcGIS for Desktop Working with ArcGlobe and ArcScene ArcMap 103 Other versions Available with 3D Analyst license ArcGlobe ArcScene Main differences between ArcGlobe and ArcScene Examples of choosing the 3D display environment Functional differences between ArcGlobe and ArcScene ArcGIS offers two 3D visualization environments in which to workArcGlobe and ArcScenewhich allow you to display analyze and animate your 3D or 2D data in a 3D space ArcGlobe ArcGlobe is part of the ArcGIS 3D Analyst extension This application is generally designed to be used with very large datasets and allows for seamless visualization of both raster and feature data It is based on a global view with all data projected into a global Cube projection and displayed at varying levels of detail LODs organized into tiles For maximum performance cache your data which will organize and copy the source data into tiled LODs Vector features are generally rasterized and displayed according to their associated LOD which assists in very fast navigation and display ArcScene ArcScene is a 3D viewer that is well suited to generating perspective scenes that allow you to navigate and interact with your 3D feature and raster data Based on OpenGL ArcScene supports complex 3D line symbology and texture mapping as well as surface creation and display of TINs All data is loaded into memory which allows for relatively fast navigation pan and zoom functionality Vector features are rendered as vectors and raster data is either downsampled or configured into a fixed number of rowscolumns you set Main differences between ArcGlobe and ArcScene Projected data ArcGlobe projects all data onto a globeshaped surface using one particular coordinate systemCube Projection All data added to an empty ArcGlobe document is projected on the fly to this coordinate system Data that does not have projection information associated with it can not be added into ArcGlobe Being spherical this application is optimized for visualizing geography at a global scale It also renders a representation of the surface of the earth more realistically than other projections ArcScene projects all data in an ArcScene document according to the first layer added to the document Usually a planar projection ArcScene is geared for those with smaller spatial datasets who want to examine a defined study area Learn more about the ArcScene coordinate system Cached data vs memory management One of the most significant differences between ArcGlobe and ArcScene is how each application handles information management Since ArcGlobe is designed to be used with very large datasets you should cache your data for optimum performance The process of caching indexes and organizes all your data into tiles and levels of detail This allows for fast display and visualization as you zoom in and out pan around and navigate to different places in your ArcGlobe document Learn more about cache management in ArcGlobe ArcScene loads all data into available memory and uses paging files if necessary This is one of the reasons why ArcScene is optimized for smaller study areas with less amounts of data Analysis ArcGlobe is an excellent application for visualizing large global data It has very good performance at navigation and rendering high and lowresolution raster and vector data However ArcScene is better optimized for analysis The 3D Analyst toolbar is fully supported in ArcScene as are triangulated irregular network TIN surfaces ArcScene renders subsurface data and volumes very well ArcGlobe supports the terrain dataset but ArcScene does not All the geoprocessing tools are available in both applications Viewing and display In ArcGlobe you have the option of displaying vector data as rasterized on the surface layer or rendering it as a vector layer with independent properties from the surface layer This option is particularly useful with annotation feature classes which can be draped on the surface or automatically billboarded to face the viewer In ArcScene vectors remain in their native format and can float independently of the raster surface You have control over the amount of downsampling that occurs with the raster data in ArcScene Annotation features can not be displayed in ArcScene Another difference between the two applications is the ability of ArcScene to support stereo viewing Stereo viewing is a great way to enhance the 3D visualization experience Learn more about viewing in stereo in ArcScene Viewing over remote desktop 3D applications often rely heavily on a graphics cards GPU graphics processing unit to support rendering A server running a virtualized desktop environment can not leverage a graphics card in the same way your local desktop can As a result Esri has disabled the ability to run ArcGlobe over remote desktop If you attempt to launch ArcGlobe or any other Globe Control based application such as ArcGIS Explorer or ArcReader through remote desktop you will receive a popup notification that this ability has been disabled Although ArcScene is enabled for remote desktop access performance can be very limited If you need to access an ArcScene session remotely it is recommended that you use a VPN Virtual Private Network access instead Examples of choosing the 3D display environment Example 1Presenting a county relief map Data You have detailed data for the entire county Your data includes a series of aerial photographs road centerlines parcel boundaries building footprints landuse regions and points of interest For elevation data you have a number of tiled DEM rasters that cover the entire county Goal To visualize the county in three dimensions for promotional purposes such as images for brochures and animations for videos Environment ArcGlobe is the best choice because of the following The data volume is high and would most likely require caching to be used at full resolution The extent covers a wide region where curvature of the earth may come into play You have a series of DEM tiles that you would like treated as a seamless elevation source Example 2Investigating local mining data Data Most of your data is within one square mile around a group of oil wells You have an aerial photograph 3D polylines for the vertical drill paths multipatch data for underground salt domes and 2D lines for the outgoing oil pipelines You also have a raster DEM for about 10 square miles around the wells Goal To visualize the oil wells in three dimensions to see the effectiveness and coverage of your bores Environment ArcScene is the best choice for these reasons The data volume is small The visualization is limited to a small extent You want to see the data as though it has been sliced out of the ground Example 3Building a virtual city Data You have building footprints road centerlines park areas and transportation infrastructure data for a city based on a prediction model for 15 years in the future You also have a TIN for elevation relief Goal To create an interactive environment for general display and analysis Environment ArcGlobe and ArcScene are both viable choices because of the following The data is not excessive in volume Both applications support the applicable symbology options Both applications support graphics for 3D view adornment such as 3D trees cars and street furniture Both applications support TIN data as an elevation source Example 4Running a lineofsight analysis for placement of a forestry fire watchtower Data You have raster data for elevation vegetation type and fire risk You also have vector data for the fire road network and streams Goal To identify the best candidate locations for placing a forestry fire watchtower Environment ArcMap is the best choice for these reasons You will be creating many raster surfaces some temporary as you run geoprocessing tools and models You do not gain anything by interactively seeing the analysis results in 3D You can easily copy final raster and vector data layers into ArcGlobe or ArcScene when the analysis is complete Functional differences between ArcGlobe and ArcScene Functional differences This is a sampling of some of the more significant functional

relationship with Katherine they take MJ out to the Zoo and bowling but MJ initially resents Katherines presence throwing ice cream at her and dropping a bowling ball on her foot This is shortlived however so much so that MJ begins to prefer the company of Katherine rather than Susan much to Susans distress Mike and Susan work to get him into private school and are successful when Susan Season 6 MJ is seen as the ringbearer when Susan and Mike are remarried He was also unwittingly dragged into Susan and Katherines feud when Katherine dared to badmouth Susan to her own son which angered Mike

character was named Maynard in the fourth season finale as an homage to one of his recently deceased paternal greatgrandfathers However from season 5 onwards the character was always referred to as MJ Delfino with MJ clearly being an acronym of his first two names However his second name is never revealed at any point of the series nor has it been confirmed by anyone related to the show It is presumed to be James by the fan base because that was the name of his other paternal greatgrandfather He was taught how to ride a bike by Jackson Braddock Ever since Mike has died MJ has been very

Plot Mel is the leader of the in the film ' s storyline and the main protagonist of the minions ' subplot . Gru has retired from being a villain for years . Minions , however , want Gru doing to become a villain again as he has lost his job being an agent for the Anti - Villain League but Gru declines . So a rebellion against Gru , led by Mel , is formed , they decide to leave Gru for another possible villain ; except Dave and Jerry , who just enter the lab after the performance for Gru ' s family . Mel and the Minions get tired of walking for the whole night , and are still angry at Gru ( especially when they run into Dru ' s butler , Fritz ) , so they chase after a pizza delivery guy to steal his food . However , they trespass into a TV studio which causes the police to chase after them . They decide to hide but end up on the set for a singing competition and start singing a song which they dub ' Papa Mama Loca Pita ' . The song is a hit with the judges and audience but the Minions get arrested soon after . The Minions learn to rule out the prison . But soon , Mel realizes how much he misses and needs Gru , so the Minions create a plane so they can escape from the prison . They escape successfully when it was dark , but a Minion is left behind as he needs to wave light signals for the aircraft . Mel , who pilots the plane , sees Gru , Lucy and Dru , so the Minions follow them to the Hollywood and try to destroy Bratt ' s bubble - gum with their weapons . Eventually Bratt is defeated , though mostly without their help , so they go back with Gru ' s family along with Dru . After Lucy settles the girls and Gru calls the Minions and Dru to sleep , Mel with other Minions remove their dungarees and Dru drives Gru ' s Airship , which Gru ' s emblem is replaced by a " D " , to " continue the family tradition " . Other Appearances Ilumination Entertainment Mel makes a cameo appearance in the Illumination Entertainment variant for Sing and Minion Rush Incomplete ! This article or section is incomplete . Mel Information Full Name Mel Minion Available Always Cost 50 cards / 1 coin Category Rare Max Spy Points 465 Power - Up Gru ' s Rocket Mel is the fourth runner in Despicable Me : Minion Rush , and he was first introduced in the update at August 9 , 2017 . Unlike the other three minions , his ability did not originally appear until he was unlocked by 60 Mel Cards . It was the last stand - alone minion to be added in the list before the 5 - Years Celebration update ( version 6.1.0 ) . In game version 6.1.0 , Mel has a different purpose in the game . He is no longer a stand - alone character to switch to from Dave , but a Wardrobe character blended in with the rest of the costumes and hats . In the older version , Mel , as well as Carl and Jerry had a separate section in the Costumes part of the Shop , but in the latest version all four characters and their costumes / hats are grouped in one place , the Wardrobe . Mel , as well as the other costumes / It costs 50 costume cards and 1 coin to unlock or can be won in occasional bundle offers in the Shop . Gallery Mel ' s original display in the old game format For more photos of Mel , check out this page ' s gallery Trivia Mel is in the contact list of Gru ' s cellphone . Mel appeared in the Illumination Entertainment logo for the 2016 film Sing Mel may have been seen in the Shop throughout The Strike Saga , but was never officially available to use until the last episode Minion Break . Therefore the layout of the game changed a bit leaving some space next to Jerry and Carl ( see image above ) . As previously done with Carl and Jerry when they were first introduced , a free test run was offered . Mel could be considered a Minion version of Dr . Nefario ; in Despicable Me 2 , Dr . Nefario misses being evil and wants to return to crime , and in , Mel is the same way . Mel ' s original coin price was 1000 , but the game makers changed it to 1 coin to help all players unlock it easier .

We pride ourselves on not only How Does the Membership Cost Compare to Boat Ownership ? Consider all of the associated costs of boat ownership . The cost of the boat itself or note payment , maintenance , insurance , routine repairs , and your time and effort cleaning the boat , your membership with us is a fraction of the cost of boat ownership . Most importantly , without all the headaches and hassles ! In fact , just the cost of storage in a facility is more than what you would pay for a membership with us . We promise ! What Are the Hours of Operation ? Very simple – Virtually Sunrise to Sunset Boating ! We are the only club that offers that , unlike some that close at 4pm during the summer . We do not have set hours ; rather our members enjoy boating during the maximum number of daylight hours available . We offer a morning session and an afternoon session . Because we utilize the maximum number of daylight hours available and have two sessions per day available , we can accommodate twice as many members as other clubs . Since our sessions are much longer than other clubs , our members How Do I Reserve a Boat ? DESTINATION BOAT CLUBS utilizes our state - of - the - art , one of a kind WEBRES ™ online reservation system . Each member possesses a User ID and Password to log in . Simply log in , choose the location , date , vessel and time . It is literally that easy ! WEBRES ™ then immediately sends you an email confirming your choices and a reminder email the day before your reservation . You can refer to the system anytime to check your upcoming reservations . Cancelling a reservation or mistake is just as easy . What is the Member to Boat Ratio ? This is probably the most important question to ask any club , and generally tells you right away whether you ’ ll be able to reserve a boat on “ Spur Of The Moment Notice ” or not . Our ratio is 10 : 1 and that is for all members , active or not . Be aware , others may tell you their ratio but fail to specify whether that is for active members or all members , which can dramatically have an effect on reservations . Ask to see it in writing . You can with us ! How Many Times Can I Reserve a Boat Per Month ? There is no limit as to how many times you can reserve a boat . We allow a maximum of 4 reservations on the system at any given time . The good news is that you can always have 4 in the system at any one time . After you “ USE ” one you can “ ADD ” another , up to three months in advance . Do You Have a Boat Maintenance Schedule ? Yes ! This is very important to insure that our boats are clean and mechanically sound . We schedule weekly maintenance on Mondays for this exact reason . “ Maintenance Mondays ” allows us to make necessary repairs , deep clean them and “ nip anything in the bud ” before it becomes a problem . This virtually eliminates any breakdowns on the water . Is Insurance Included ? Liability is insured up to $ 1,000,000 per vessel . This is better coverage than if you owned the vessel yourself . Where Do I Buy Fuel ? Fuel is available at the marina at every one of our locations , at a reduced cost . The boat leaves with a full tank of fuel . Upon your return , you simply de - board the vessel as our staff starts re - fueling the vessel . By the time you collect your belongings , you simply pay for the fuel and then enjoy the amenities at the resort . Is There Tow Coverage Should I Break Down on the Water ? Yes , DESTINATION BOAT CLUBS utilizes TowBoat US and SeaTow . Every member is individually insured and has their own coverage . It covers you beyond normal business and holiday hours versus the other clubs insuring only the vessel during normal business hours only . Can I Reserve a Boat on the Same Day ? Yes , we call this “ spur of the moment ” . If you wake up and it ’ s a beautiful day and you ’ d like to go boating , simply give our staff a call . If a boat is available , it ’ s yours . Do I Need a License to Operate the Boats ? No , although we require all new members to undergo an on - water training program as well as satisfying and passing the Florida Safe Boater ’ s Course before they are able to reserve a boat . Should you need additional training , we will spend as much time as it takes to fully insure members are capable of operating a vessel safely . We also offer advanced GPS and Navigation training for those interested in enhancing their knowledge . We do not charge a fee for training like some . Can I Keep a Boat Overnight ? Yes , in fact up to two in a row ! Additional knowledge and training may be required . For those qualified , it is an option . After the member displays the abilities to navigate the waterways for a small period of time ( usually only 60 days ) they can go overnight as they wish . Can I Speak With Other Club Members to Get Their Opinion About the Club ? Absolutely ! Just ask us for a list of members . Can I use the Resort Amenities without going boating ? Without question , members do it all the time . It ’ s like having two different memberships for the price of one . | [

http://detroitchurchblog.blogspot.com/2014/03/most-holy-trinity.html | Monday , March 17 , 2014 Most Holy Trinity Most Holy Trinity is a parish steeped in local history . In 1834 , Bishop Résé bought a Presbyterian church with the intention of reusing it as a Catholic parish for Irish immigrants . The church was moved downtown to the corner of Bates and Cadillac Square and became the first English - speaking , Catholic parish in Detroit . A tragic cholera epidemic took hold of the city that year . Before the church was consecrated , the founding pastor , Fr . Martin Kundig , turned it into a clinic to treat the sick . The church effectively became the first hospital in the Michigan territory . A small memorial in the rear of the nave shows some artifacts from the clinic . Fr . Kundig , born in Switzerland , served in the Swiss Papal Guard prior to ordination . He also founded the parish of ( Old ) St . Mary to serve German immigrants in what is now Greektown . He was a tireless minister to cholera victims : treating the ill , burying the deceased , and even became guardian of many orphans . Fr . Kundig soon went bankrupt and remained so the rest of his life . A parish school was established in 1838 , making it one of the oldest continuously - operated Catholic schools in the country . In 1849 , the church moved again , west to what became known as Corktown . The current church was constructed in 1856 . Currently , it stands just west of the Lodge Expressway and south of Michigan Avenue . Msgr . Clement Kern , who served as pastor at Trinity for three decades , remains a beloved figure in the parish . He started the St . Frances Cabrini Clinic , a free clinic to those in need , in 1950 . Msgr . Kern also organized a credit union , led an active Alcoholics Anonymous chapter , was influential with labor relations , and later served at St . John ' s Provincial Seminary . Many of the century - old houses in Corktown were demolished in the 1960s to make room for planned redevelopment . That redevelopment did not come , so Msgr . Kern helped build low - income housing in its place . Clement Kern Gardens bear his name and a statue in his memory stands on the grounds . A Knights of Columbus Council in Canton also bears his name . Msgr . Russell Kohler , a former student of Msgr . Kern , has served as pastor since 1991 . Last year , Most Holy Trinity clustered with Ste . Anne and Msgr . Kohler divides his time between the two . Most Holy Trinity School celebrated its 175th anniversary last year and it is one of few inner - city , parochial schools still in operation today . Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available . Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video . On St . Patrick ' s Day every year , a bishop celebrates Mass along with many local priests of Irish descent . Various Irish and Catholic fraternal organizations attend the Mass including Ancient Order of Hibernians , Knights of Columbus , and Court of St . Brigid . All of the windows in the nave are fairly uniform and feature a similar motif . St . Patrick and St . Maximilian Kolbe stand at the left altar . A portion of the communion rail still stands in front of the tabernacle . A large plaque recognizes donors to the parish Another plaque remembers deceased acolytes St . Peter of Verona and St . Mary Magdalene stand near the entrance . St . Kateri Tekakwitha and the Sacred Heart of Jesus at the side altars . The Holy Family , in front of the lectern , along with the baptismal font . While the parish is historically Irish , much of the current congregation is Latino . Most Holy Trinity celebrates Sunday Mass at 9 : 00am ( Spanish ) and 11 : 00am . Saturday Vigil Mass is at 4 : 00pm and , during the school year , Thursday Mass is at 9 : 15am .

http://detroitsportsrag.com/jamie-samuelsen-is-a-fucking-cunt/ | Jamie Samuelsen is a Fucking Cunt Posted on September 17 2014 by admin By Jeff Moss DetroitSportsRagGMailcom September 17 2014 A few years ago Jamie Samuelsen was between jobs at WDFN and 971 and was slumming around doing sports updates on a classic rock station I cant remember if he was working for Ken Calvert Doug The Doc of Rock Podell Jim Johnson or Arthur Penhallow but thats not really the point Anyway the downonhisluck broadcaster was asked to give a Career Day speech at Seaholm so he moped into the affluent high school and delivered what I am told was a speech so depressing that Nora Durst from The Leftovers told the bigheaded dolt to cheer the fuck up already I am guessing Samuelsen had reflected on his broadcasting career and wondered where everything had gone wrong Why he was never able to attract ratings at WDFN no matter the time slot How could people of a lesser intellect Scott Anderson Terry Foster have solid gigs at 971 while he did not So he must have trudged into that Birmingham high school thinking that all his Northwestern education had gotten him was this sad gig at 947 and an occasional bland blog at the Free Press While friends from his prestigious university were engaged in highprofile things like becoming the head writer at Saturday Night Live Seth Meyers Samuelsen must have been been cursing his fate 971 eventually threw Samuelsen a bone and freed him from Paul StanleyBob Seger Hell giving him a talk show that usually airs for 40 minutes a night whenever the Tigers Red Wings or previously the Pistons are playing in the Eastern Time Zone And thats 40 minutes INCLUDING commercials updates and awful Bob Wojnowski jokes Why do I bring all of this up today If Jamie Samuelsen wants to know why his career has careened off an overpass causing him to give speeches that make the number of Paxil prescriptions skyrocket among adolescents he needs to look in the mirror at his toxic combination of awful sports takes and bland personality Jamie did ya think that mixing Ben Steins persona with opinions like the Lions should hire KEN HOLLAND as their General Manager would skyrocket you to the top even in this putrid sports town Which brings us to the last 24 hours and potentially the dumbest fucking stance Samuelsen has ever taken in a career of asinine positions And yes I am including his suggestion that a hockey GM from BRITISH COLUMBIA CANADA replace Matt Millen And dont even get me STARTED on JBs constant defense of Scott Mitchell during the 90s I am sure this talentless schmuck is still sitting at home on Thursday nights rooting for Mitchell to shed the most weight on The Biggest Loser This blog post from Tuesday on 971s website was so atrocious that it nearly ruined my birthday dinner at the new Beaus restaurant If there is anything more depressing than a Jamie Samuelsen Career Day speech it was that old dark cavelike interior at Beau Jacks This piece DEFENDING Brad Ausmus terrible managerial record this year is so horrific and nonsensical that it must be given the old Fire Joe Morgan style dissection So here we go Did they teach ya math at Northwestern ya whitebread motherfucker The trade took away 25 homers and 106 RBI Umm what about Kinslers production How about Nick Castellanos at third base and Miguel Cabrera at first What about the improved infield defense because of that deal Or how about the fact that in 2013 Ian Kinsler had a WAR of 50 while Princes was an anemic 17 The Tigers got the better of that deal the SECOND it was consummated and it has only gotten better since last winter Kinsler has duplicated his 2013 season 44 WAR to date while Fielder has missed almost the entire season You are going to list the FielderKinsler trade as one of Ausmus HARDSHIPS Yeah and it was just tragic that poor Prince George of Cambridge was born to William and Kate That kid has quite a cross to bear let me tell ya Oh my lord how could a team with a 70 MILLION PAYROLL ADVANTAGE over EVERY OTHER TEAM in their putrid division ever overcome the loss of a lighthitting shortstop an inexperienced relief pitcher and an average platoon outfielder The Lifetime Network should air a real tearjerker about all of the atrocities that Ausmus has had to endure this season Just make sure Brad is topless for a majority of the film in order to hook that menopausal woman demographic Ya know the same one Jamie Samuelsen is a part of Messy contract negotiation Nobody has said a Trout damn word about Scherzers messy contract negotiation since MARCH Its been a total nonstarter but I am glad Jizz Bucket is already making up shit at this point to support his AWFUL thesis WHAT Does this imbecile even WATCH this team Austin Jackson was mostly garbage before the trade and he has been a total BUST since going to the Mariners With the Tigers Jackson had a middling OPS of 730 and displayed NONE of the consistency that youd want out of a prototypical LEADOFF HITTER He was incredibly streaky before the deal and has been just flatout bad since Unless you think a 566 OPS is good And Price didnt specifically address any glaring need He didnt address any GLARING NEED Yeah because a team that has been throwing out Kyle Lobstein Kyle Ryan Robbie Ray and BUCK FUCKING FARMER since August 1st didnt need the 2012 Cy Young winner taking the mound every fifth day Did this jackhole not look at the transaction sheet on the day Anibal Sanchez was placed on the 15day disabled list Yeah starting pitching has indeed been a GLARING NEED since the Price trade was made and the guy has been a freaking savior outside a couple of poor starts What is this guy WRITING ABOUT But wait there is more Cabrera has had his worst season since entering the league No question about it But a bad Cabrera season still means a WAR of 48 to date and an OPS creeping up near 900 Its not exactly like he took the Albert Pujols nosedive from a couple of seasons ago And while Samuelsen mentions the Martinez Brothers JD and Victor contributions in passing he completely fails to mention that those two have MORE THAN mitigated the Cabrera offyear Or how else the fuck do you explain THIS I love this narrative that the Tigers hitting has been so awful this season I would wager there are about 28 teams that would LOVE to trade their offense for the TIGERS I am also guessing that those abovelisted offensive stats can be credited to a guy who was picked up off the Houston Astros SCRAP HEAP during the offseason Ausmus was gifted one of the top hitting outfielders in all of baseball for NOTHING I am going to go out on a limb and say that MORE than makes up for the loss of Andy Dirks and all of the drama caused by Max Scherzers contract ya fucking shitbag JD Martinez probably should get Top10 AL MVP voting consideration at this point but I mean we lost Jose Iglesias And dont give me this shit about Verlander either If Porcello were having the JV season and Verlander were putting up Porcellos stats nobody would say boo about it Thats total garbage and another red herring I can not believe we are discussing the obstacles that Brad Ausmus has had to face this season The guy won the managerial lottery in Detroit In his first gig he was handed a payroll that is now close to 170 million while the Royals is hovering around 90 million At the trade deadline when Dave Dombrowski handed Ausmus a starting pitcher with a FIP of 292 Dayton Moore told Ned Yost to make do with what he had Kansas City did NOTHING Whats Jamie Samuelsens next blog going to be about The incredible burden the US tax system has placed on the Koch Brothers The uphill battle James Franco has when he is looking to get laid Brad Ausmus has the greatest inherent advantage of any coach or manager in ANY SPORT just by the simple fact he manages the Detroit Tigers of the American League Central And Samuelsen somehow thinks the Olde English D is a Scarlet Letter or some shit Now lets take a look at all of the information that this oversized melon of a head neglected while penning this Woe is Ausmus trash Ausmus has spent the season placing Don Kelly in the 6 hole Yes a man with a CAREER SLUGGING PERCENTAGE of 338 has been hitting sixth during a PENNANT RACE It is September 17th and this lighthitting loser has a grand total of SIX extrabase hits and ZERO home runs Ausmus is playing Kelly in the cavernous centerfield of Comerica Park when he has played less than half a season of his entire CAREER in CF This almost led to an ISISlike decapitation of Torii Hunter in rightcenter last week The Ivy League Mimbo insists on using Joe Nathan as his closer even though the man clearly has lost it Unless you think a relief pitcher is supposed to put 15 men on base per inning At the trade deadline his GM provided him with a proven closer in Joakim Soria The Tigers gave up two of their top FIVE prospects for him And in his best imitation of Ned Yost Ausmus has for the most part REFUSED to pitch the guy unless his team was up by fewer than three runs in the 7th inning Even the original Superman George Reeves wasnt pigeonholed as much as Soria has been of late In a game earlier this season in Arizona National League rules the pretty boy surfer who spent a preponderance of his career in the Senior Circuit FORGOT to utilize the doubleswitch Surfer boy still hasnt figured out that Bryan Holaday is better versus righties than lefties because it would appear Ausmus has never heard of a reverse platoon split Ausmus has stubbornly refused to keep any of his September callups fresh and ready for action meaning that James McCann Steven Moya and Tyler Collins have been rendered USELESS at this point due to rust Ausmus flatout REFUSED to give McCann some work when he was first called up even though he is the one catcher on the team that can hit lefty pitching If used appropriately McCann could counter opposing managers bringing in southpaws to face Alex Avila in the late innings Hell even the feckless castrated eunuch Detroit beat writers were incredulous about this decision and they carry the Tigers water like theyre doing their best Gunga Din impression Which brings us back to the absolute CLUSTERFUCK we witnessed last night when every one of Ausmus managerial Achilles Heels were on display in a huge September game in a nipandtuck pennant race Start a lineup where half of it is comprised of minus WAR players Check Place Kelly Holaday and Andrew Romine in the same batting order Check Play the infield in early in the game when it was pointless to do so and even though it really hasnt worked ALL SEASON LONG Check Refusing to pinchhit for Don Kelly and his six extrabase hits with two runners on and two outs while trailing in the seventh inning Check Handing the ball in the ninth inning to Joe Nathan and his 510 ERA and 157 WHIP instead of either keeping Porcello in the game he only threw 103 pitches or utilizing the dude you traded Jake Thompson and Corey Knebel for Check Mindlessly taking JD Martinezs bat out of the lineup after Miggy had ALREADY been removed with the potential of extra innings looming because Nathan had to pitch in front of the HUGE defensive upgrade of Ezequiel Carrera for Rajai Davis in center Check And how did that switcheroo work out for you Brad Nothing could be more humorous than Jamie Samuelsen making his closing argument on the case of the Mimbo Manager vs the People of Southeastern Michigan on the night that this was Tweeted This was Brad Ausmus worst game of the year and theres no close runnerup Tony Paul TonyPaul1984 September 17 2014 Or this Theres no way that Carrera in CF and Davis in LF is enough of an upgrade over Davis in CF and JDM in LF to justify the hit on offense Dave Hogg Stareagle September 17 2014 But the best Twat of the night came from a man who has dedicated his life to baseball mathematics A contributor to both ESPN and Fangraphs The one and only Dan Szymborski Brad Ausmus has essentially become Little League Dad Dan Szymborski DSzymborski September 17 2014 A baseball savant is mocking Ausmus with the putdown that the Tigers manager is basically a doting loyal father with no regard for wins and losses DAGGER Meanwhile Samuelsen is writing a fucking blog post basically making the case that Ausmus is facing the same awful odds as Gerard Butler did in the movie 300 Oh OKAY Before I finish this diatribe against Tapioca Radio Host I want to leave you with this It is universally accepted that Ned Yost is an awful manager On a nightly basis the Royals field boss is getting lit the fuck up by the likes of the following baseball literati Jeff Passan Jonah Keri Keith Law Dave Cameron And the Kansas City Stars Andy McCullough also takes Yost to the woodshed I dare you to find ONE credible baseball mind who thinks that Ned Yost is competent So explain to me how Brad Ausmus is doing such a wonderful job when his team has the superior starting pitching the MUCH BETTER offensive lineup a 70 million payroll advantage and a GM who is willing to use a multimilliondollar caulking gun to fix his teams leaks yet the Tigers are STILL only 15 games ahead of Ned Yosts Royals with Rosh Hashanah right around the corner We all agree that Yost is a thirdtrimester abortion This is his teams offensive resume 1 12 games up on a team with deficient starting pitching and THAT offense Now THATS as suicidally depressing as listening to a Jamie Samuelsen CAREER DAY lecture Dartmouth and Northwestern have had better days Oh and the case for Brad Ausmus I am awarding summary judgement to HE FUCKING STINKS Detroit Sports Media Rumors Speculation and Innuendo DSR Exclusive Ratt Dreary is

http://detroiturbex.com/content/downtown/michigan/index.html | The Michigan Theater in 2014 . Prev Next The Michigan Theater The Michigan Theater was one of the most visually stunning and opulent theater houses in Detroit when it opened in August of 1926 . Designed by Cornelius and George Rapp , the 4,000 - seat theater was one of the largest cinema houses in the city . A 4 - story lobby flanked by marble columns , with ornate chandeliers and works of art could hold 1,000 moviegoers at a time , waiting to see vaudeville acts including the Marx Brothers , Jack Benny , Red Skelton , and Betty Grable . During the silent film era , an enormous Wurlitzer organ played along with the movies . In 1929 , the theater was wired for sound . Initially the theater had a mixture of live performances and films , but gradually the theater moved over to showing mostly movies . Louis Armstrong played his first theater engagement in Detroit at the Michigan in June of 1936 . At one point Detroit had over 20 major theaters in the downtown area alone , but by the 1960 ' s many of them were struggling financially . The Michigan held on until 1971 , when it showed it ' s last picture . The theater changed hands several times in the 1970 ' s , as new owners tried different uses . An elegant supper club lasted only a few months , and a stint as a rock music venue left much of the interior trashed . By 1976 the theater had closed again . With the theater in such poor condition , the owners initially wanted to demolish it to make way for a parking lot , but a structural survey indicated that removing the theater would weaken the 13 - story office building attached to it . Instead , the theater was gutted starting in 1977 , and converted into a multi - level parking garage . Parts of the theater were preserved , including the lobby , proscenium arch , and decorative plasterwork on the ceiling . The uppermost part of the balcony and the projection room remained in place , though In the years since , the parking garage has become something of a tourist destination . Curiosity - seekers from around the world peek through the rolling gate at the Italian Renaissance details visible from the street . It ' s not unusual to see football fans tailgating underneath the same dome that once echoed with Louis Armstrong . The Michigan Theater has been featured in the films 8 Mile The Island , and Alex Cross . Today the office building is only 35 % occupied . It sold in 2014 to Boydell Development Co . | [

InnoDB and FOREIGN KEY Constraints 14 . 9 . 1 . 5 InnoDB and FOREIGN KEY Constraints How the InnoDB storage engine handles foreign key constraints is described under the following topics in this section : Foreign Key Definitions Referential Actions For foreign key usage information and examples , see Section 13 . 1 . 17 . 6 , “ Using FOREIGN KEY Constraints ” Foreign Key Definitions Foreign key definitions for InnoDB tables are subject to the following conditions : permits a foreign key to reference any index column or group of columns . However , in the referenced table , there must be an index where the referenced columns are listed as the first columns in the same order . does not currently support foreign keys for tables with user - defined partitioning . This means that no user - partitioned table may contain foreign key references or columns referenced by foreign keys . allows a foreign key constraint to reference a nonunique key . This is an extension to standard SQL . Referential Actions Referential actions for foreign keys of tables are subject to the following conditions : While SET DEFAULT is allowed by the MySQL Server , it is rejected as invalid by CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE statements using this clause are not allowed for InnoDB tables . If there are several rows in the parent table that have the same referenced key value , acts in foreign key checks as if the other parent rows with the same key value do not exist . For example , if you have defined a RESTRICT type constraint , and there is a child row with several parent rows , does not permit the deletion of any of those parent rows . performs cascading operations through a depth - first algorithm , based on records in the indexes corresponding to the foreign key constraints . If ON UPDATE CASCADE or ON UPDATE SET NULL recurses to update the same table it has previously updated during the cascade , it acts like RESTRICT . This means that you can not use self - referential ON UPDATE CASCADE or ON UPDATE SET NULL operations . This is to prevent infinite loops resulting from cascaded updates . A self - referential ON DELETE SET NULL , on the other hand , is possible , as is a self - referential ON DELETE CASCADE . Cascading operations may not be nested more than 15 levels deep . Like MySQL in general , in an SQL statement that inserts , deletes , or updates many rows , checks UNIQUE and FOREIGN KEY constraints row - by - row . When performing foreign key checks , sets shared row - level locks on child or parent records it has to look at . checks foreign key constraints immediately ; the check is not deferred to transaction commit . According to the SQL standard , the default behavior should be deferred checking . That is , constraints are only checked after the entire SQL statement has been processed . Until implements deferred constraint checking , some things are impossible , such as deleting a record that refers to itself using a foreign key .

The MySQL documentation team is not responsible for , nor do they endorse , any of the information provided here . Posted by David Filmer on June 5 , 2011 If you get an error : < b > ERROR 1216 : Can not add or update a child row : a foreign key constraint fails < / b > it means you have two tables , at least one of which contains data , and you are trying to establish a relationship between keys ( such as table1 . id = table2 . id ) , but there is data in one or both tables which does not currently meet this condition ( often because table1 might contain keys that table2 does not contain and / or vice - versa ) . You ca n ' t force a relationship onto tables which are not already compliant with the constraint ( nor would you want to - if you are trying to do this , you have n ' t thought it out ) .

I changed the child to be unsigned ( just a unwanted mistake on creating the table ) and all went fine . Philip Flammer on June 18 , 2012 When you get errors like the errno 150 , and errno 121 , and you do n ' t have SUPER privileges to run SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS , it can take a long time to debug as a number of people above have discussed . Here is a list of known causes and solutions to various foreign key errors including these : http : / / eliacom . com / wpErrNo150 . php Aurelien Marchand on February 27 , 2013 INSERT IGNORE will * still * trip the foreign key constraint .

http://devangst.com/broken-agile-what-to-do-when-your-velocity-slows-down/ | Broken Agile : What to do When Your Velocity Slows Down Sep 29 , 2015 0 Comments business strategy agile 9 min I was speaking with an ex - colleague of mine about problems they were experiencing at work . They ' d said : “ Our teams are performing way below what we expect . ” So , I probed further : “ Why ? ” “ Because our teams velocity has fallen over the last few weeks and we do n ' t know why . We know they can do better . Management want something done about it . For example one teams velocity is significantly better than another ' s ” This got me thinking . Do management often use velocity as a stick with which to beat development teams with ? What is velocity , really ? What are the problems that can cause velocity to dip ? Finally , what can we do as a development team to overcome dips ? What is Velocity , Really ? Velocity can be a really great tool to help in identifying problems with a team as far as blockers , bugs and problems with the practices within the team . Without looking at official definitions here ' s my definition of what velocity is : Velocity is an abstract measure of a teams productivity towards delivering features over time . We measure velocity by working out an average number of agile points delivered sprint - on - sprint and dividing the total number of agile points delivered over X sprints by the number of sprints it has taken to deliver them . So velocity is : Velocity = Total number of Agile Points Delivered / Number of Sprints Let ' s break the velocity statement down . When we refer to velocity as an “ abstract measure ” , what do we mean ? To answer this question , we need to understand what makes up velocity . We said earlier it ' s an average of the number of agile points delivered . Agile points are measured on a Story - by - Story basis . Our current team like to break down stories to a really granular level with sub - tasks , so our Story is made up of the number of agile points against each sub - task . We measure Agile points in a Fibonacci Scale where each number in the sequence representing an exponential increase . This is so we can emphasise the scale of tasks against other tasks in both time complexity and complexity of the task . How Do You Assign Points to a Task ? According to the Agile Manifesto we should favour : Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Working software over comprehensive documentation Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Responding to change over following a plan Agile points are an enabler for knowing what we deliver and how much we can deliver . It is the responsibility of the people performing the work ( the “ development team ” ) to estimate tasks . Point estimating a task will involve the team discussing what they believe the task involves , then using their intuition and logic to work out how many points they believe a task will take in comparison with tasks of a similar nature . This will mean that estimates may be inaccurate at first but will increase in accuracy “ over time ” ( another point mentioned in the definition ) . Another side effect of this means that agile points associated to a task are a specific measure for that team only Coming back to the original story , it seems to me as though management were trying to compare velocity across teams - - this is an absolute no - no in the agile world . Management should in no way interpret velocity as a measure of performance across teams . Why Does Velocity Slow Down ? When you are n ' t delivering for one sprint , you notice . When you are n ' t delivering for two sprints , your scrum master notices . When you are n ' t delivering for months of sprints , management notices . A drop in velocity for an agile team can be a demoralising sight to witness for all of those involved . However , with careful analysis and investigation and open discussion amongst the team early on , you can figure out why it ' s happening . One of the most important Agile Rituals is the Retrospective . It gives the Agile Team an opportunity at the end of every sprint to discuss how the sprint went , what problems they thought they had , and what they think they can do next sprint to help improve productivity and delivery of features . Coming back to the story around this article , when I quizzed them about this they mentioned that “ story points and velocity were never discussed in the retrospective ” . This highlights a big cultural problem . They feel like they ca n ' t discuss velocity because it ' s become a “ taboo topic ” and means we ' re ignoring the elephant in the room and hoping it ' ll just go away . In agile , we need to discuss what our problems are so we can understand why the velocity may have dropped in the sprint and why our burndown was effected . Burndown : A chart of the number of points that were actually delivered against the number of points that formed part of the sprint contract If we look closely there are a number of reasons why our velocity might be suffering . . . Technical Debt How often have you been told this by a senior member of the team “ yeah , we know it ' s not great but we do n ' t have time to do it now , raise a ticket and we ' ll do it in another sprint . ” While this mentality is okay in the short - term , too many “ let ' s do it later ” decisions add up to a lot of tech debt that ' s often harder to sort later down the line because your mind is n ' t in the right context any more . As Uncle Bob said : “ Keep the camp - ground cleaner than you last found it . ” If you tackle technical debt when you raise it , it ' ll affect you in the short - term but it ' ll help accelerate delivery long - term . You will obviously need to make judgement calls about when you leave Technical Debt for a later date but you have to remember if you do . . . You pay the man eventually Red Tape If there are too many processes in the way of delivery , it makes it hard to deliver . Do n ' t put too many barriers in the way for developers to deliver features . Agile is all about a lean methodology and that means having a minimal framework in place to help you deliver and adapt to change . For example , some companies I ' ve worked at in the past introduced sign - off forms for releases meaning we had to update documentation every time we had a release . This , in my eyes , should be automated or not done at all . Manual process will kill your delivery and cost your company a fortune . Whatever red tape can be automated , should be automated . Testing They also mentioned there was a ratio of 2 testers for 3 - 4 developers . Klaxons were going off at this point . This is absolutely insane . On top of this , testers were the driving force behind sprints , demanding full testing suites of stories from the outset . Testers were also saying their was too much to test in the testing column meaning developers had to hold up with their development mid - sprint . There are several major problems here . The ratio of testers to developers appears to be too much . As a rule of thumb I would anticipate a ratio of 1 : 4 ( 1 tester to every 4 developers ) is a sensible ratio . Testers , along with product owners should always be ahead of current sprints . Otherwise , as we can see here , they hold up sprints by trying to fully analyse stories during the sprint when the work is already due . Bottlenecking the sprint board by blocking progress of tickets because they ca n ' t get through the work fast enough . My suggestions here would be to have fewer testers and to automate more tests so there is less of a need for manual testing the system . If more system tests are automated then there ' s less of a need to have an army of testers to keep on top of it . Always make sure tickets that make it into the sprint are “ ready for development ” . What we mean by this is that there is no analysis that has to occur for us to start work on this story . This is how it should be in an ideal world but often is n ' t , even in agile processes that are working well - there are always outstanding questions . Hiring on the Cheap The company in question has a habit of hiring on the cheap . Perhaps this is because they mistakenly believe by hiring more junior developers they will get more work done because they have more bodies . In reality though , this often is n ' t the case . As the old saying goes : “ Too many cooks spoil the broth ” . Junior developers and cheaper developers are , in general , less experienced . As a consequence , you ' ll build up technical debt over time or have solutions that are overly complex / difficult to adapt and change . Much better to have a couple of experienced developers who are well paid ( to attract the best talent ) . These developers help the Tech Lead steer the solution in the right direction . They also help the more junior software engineers learn by passing on their extensive knowledge . More experienced developers can then make better judgement calls on work done and peer review the quality of their colleagues work . How Can We Speed Velocity Up ? We ' ve hinted at a couple of things to speed up Velocity but here are a few other suggestions that might help you from slowing down . . . Test Only What You Need You may have been taught to have 100 % test coverage , to test every line of code you write and to test absolutely every possible scenario you can think of . In reality though ( and from my experience ) , exhaustive testing is a sure fire way to destroy your productivity . Sure , test complex parts of your code and code that is likely to change and cause regression errors due to that complexity , but in the main if you want to release a product to market quickly , you ca n ' t always do that . Start - ups and some smaller businesses on a constrained budget , do n ' t have the luxury of writing tests to produce 100 % coverage . What I would suggest on the other hand , is to test all the mission - critical stuff and code that ' s the most complex . Code that is core and critical should be covered , whereas obvious pass through code ( like translators for example ) , may only need to be covered by one or two tests to cover some edge cases . Unfortunately , this is something you learn and fine tune with experience . Pair Only Where Appropriate I do n ' t pair much these days , I used to , and in some teams all the time , but these days I do n ' t pair much . Why you might ask ? I wrote an article titled Is Pair Programming Worth It that highlights some of the pitfalls . I wo n ' t go into it here for fear or re - hashing old ground but I just do n ' t find I pair on things unless it ' s complex because as a team we get more done . Fix Your Culture Culture should be the most important thing for a company to focus on . A companies culture defines how it ' s employees act and behave . Each member of a development team should be willing to ask for help and not fear reprisal in asking . When you ' re stuck , and developers often are , look to others . This carries numerous benefits . Firstly , it disseminates knowledge . Secondly , it solves the problem faster and thirdly , because it highlights potential problems to the team early . Part of the culture of your team should be that help should always be willingly given to those who seek it and you should never suffer in silence . Meeting Hell Finally , we come onto the point of meetings . Dreaded meetings . Developers hate them but managers love them . Meetings are important but only if they have a point . Steve Jobs was n ' t the most tactful and personable of people at times but he was excellent at running meetings . The main point I gauged from his advice was that meetings should have a point , be “ amazingly simple ” , keep meetings as small as possible by inviting only those people who should be there and make sure someone is made responsible for each item on the agenda .

Always Keep Improving Whatever you do , when you notice your velocity is tanking , make sure you at least do something about it ! You must make changes in order to exact change . So fundamentally , Retrospectives are a really important part of the teams reflection on previous sprints work . I hope you ' ve taken some inspiration from this . I ' d be really interested to know what your thoughts are in the comments below . How would you change a team around and improve it ' s velocity ? What are the problems you ' ve experienced ?

http://developer.chrome.com/apps/about_apps.html | Important : Chrome will be removing support for Chrome Apps on Windows , Mac , and Linux . Chrome OS will continue to support Chrome Apps . Additionally , Chrome and the Web Store will continue to support extensions on all platforms . Read the announcement and learn more about migrating your app What Are Chrome Apps ? Chrome Apps let you use HTML5 , CSS , and JavaScript to deliver an experience comparable to a native application . Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available . Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video . Why build a Chrome App ? By building a Chrome App , as opposed to going with a traditional web app or a native mobile app , you expand your potential audience and extend your development capability . Expand your potential audience When you write a Chrome App , as opposed to an app that runs natively on a particular operating system , you immediately make your app available to a much wider audience . To any desktop Instead of writing and maintaining separate applications for Windows , OS X and Linux , you can write a single application that runs anywhere Chrome runs . This includes Windows , Linux , and OS X . To mobile devices [ via Cordova ] Using Chrome Apps for Mobile ( MCA ) , you can deploy your applications to mobile and target hardware features only available on Android and IOS platforms . And of course , to a Chromebook Writing a Chrome App is the ONLY way to have your app installed on a Chromebook . Chromebooks are appealing , inexpensive , low maintenance devices that provide a full web experience . Extend your development capability You might be thinking , “ If I write a standard web application , I can run it on any platform that has a web browser . ” Of course , this is absolutely right , but remember that Chrome Apps extend your development capacity beyond what you can do with traditional web apps : Chrome Apps can integrate seamlessly into the desktop and look more like desktop applications than traditional web apps . Chrome Apps for Desktop have no omnibox ( address bar ) and tab strip like normal browser - based apps , because like native desktop apps , they do n ’ t live in a browser . The Chrome App Launcher makes it easy for users to find and start your Chrome App . OS X users can use the integrated spotlight search to find and start your app . Chrome Apps for Desktop can access the host computer ’ s file system and make use of hardware features ( like USB , Bluetooth and attached human interface devices ) . The best way to see what Chrome Apps look like is to install some Who should build Chrome Apps ? Everyone ! But some sectors have a special interest in Chrome Apps . Device manufacturers The cross platform nature of Chrome Apps makes writing device drivers less painful . A device manufacturer only needs to write one application for configuring their device and it will run on any device . Educators Chromebooks are an inexpensive , low - maintenance option for bringing laptops into every classroom . Chrome Apps make teaching easy with easy to install applications that run natively on Chromebooks . For example : Google Classroom More Teaching , Less Tech - ing Health care providers One pediatric service has so far saved tens of thousands of dollars using Chrome Apps on Chromebooks .

http://developer.force.com/cookbook/recipe/using-query-string-parameters-in-a-visualforce-page | Search Search Help Cookbook Home » Using Query String Parameters in a Visualforce Page Verify this Recipe View source code Using Query String Parameters in a Visualforce Page Post by Developer Force 2010 - 07 - 16 Status : Certified Level : novice User Interface ( 36 ) Visualforce ( 30 ) Problem You want to read and set query string parameters in a Visualforce page , either in a custom controller or in the page itself . Solution The way to read and set query string parameters depends on whether you access them from a custom controller or directly from a Visualforce page . To read a query string parameter : If you ' re writing a custom controller , use the ApexPages global object variable and currentPage ( ) and getParameters ( ) methods to get query string parameters . For example , to get the value of the name query parameter in the URL : https : / / na1 . salesforce . com / 001 / e ? name = value , use the following line in your custom controller : 1 String value = ApexPages . currentPage ( ) .getParameters ( ) . get ' name ' ) ; If you ' re editing a page , use the $ PageContext global variable in a merge field . For example , suppose you want to add the Open Activities related list to an account detail page , but instead of showing the account ' s activities , you want to show the activities of a specified contact . To specify the contact , the following page looks for a query string parameter for the contact ' s ID under the name relatedId 1 < apex : page standardController = " Account " > 2 < apex : pageBlock title = " Hello { ! $ User . FirstName } ! " > 3 You belong to the { ! account . name } account . < br / 4 You ' re also a nice person . 5 < / apex : pageBlock 6 < apex : detail subject = " { ! account } " relatedList = " false " 7 < apex : relatedList list = " OpenActivities " 8 subject = " { ! $ CurrentPage . parameters . relatedId } " 9 < / apex : page For this related list to render in a saved page , valid account and contact IDs must be specified in the URL . For example , if 001D000000HRgU6 is the account ID and 003D000000OXDIx is the contact ID , use the URL https : / / na3 . salesforce . com / apex / MyFirstPage ? id = 001D000000HRgU6& relatedId = 003D000000OXDIx . To set a query string parameter : If you ' re writing a custom controller , use the setParameters ( ) method with ApexPages . currentPage ( ) to add a query parameter in a test method . For example : String value = ApexPages . currentPage ( ) .getParameters ( ) . get ' name ' ) ; The setParameters ( ) method is only valid inside test methods . If you ' re editing a page , you can either construct a URL manually : String key = 2 String value = ' Caroline ' 3 ApexPages . currentPage ( ) .setParameters ( ) .put ( key , value ) ; Or you can use the < apex : param > tag as a child tag to write cleaner code : < apex : outputLink value = http : / / google . com / search ? q = { ! account . name } " Search Google < / apex : outputLink In addition to < apex : outputLink > < apex : param > can be a child of other tags such as < apex : include > and < apex : commandLink > Share Recipe Activity - Please Log in to write a comment In the last note ( In addition to , can be a child of other tags such as and ) . , its mentionedthat can be used in .

Insurance Cover and Rhinoplasty Nose Job Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic procedure and the insurance coverage of this surgery depends very much on the individual ’ s health and his health insurance policy . For nose job , there are many insurance companies that will analyze the process carefully to ensure that it is not a cosmetic surgery , but for breathing problems such as a deviated septum .

Steps to Get Insurance to Pay for Rhinoplasty Nose Job To get insurance to pay for Rhinoplasty , there are a few steps one should carry out . Step 1 : Look for a surgeon who is well - versed in Rhinoplasty .

http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2015/05/07/expect-easier-uber-lyft-access-at-dfw-love-field-airports/ | Expect Easier Uber & Lyft Access At DFW & Love Field Airports Follow CBSDFW . COM : Facebook | Twitter NORTH TEXAS ( CBSDFW . COM ) – As it stands there are only designated taxi , shuttle and limousine area transportation options at both Dallas / Fort Worth International and Dallas Love Field Airport . But Uber and Lyft may soon too be forces to be reckoned with at those locations . Love Field began allowing Uber and Lyft drivers to operate out of the airport last week . Unlike taxi ’ s at Love , the so - called Transportation For Hire Operators do n ’ t wait in a line with other like drivers ; they have a designated area to pick - up and drop - off passengers . Jose Torres with Dallas Love Field says the idea is to keep traffic at the airport flowing . “ This is because of the need and the importance to have transportation options for travelers , so that they do n ’ t clog up the parking garages . ” The DFW Airport Board is scheduled to vote on a similar plan Thursday that would change regulations to allow Uber and Lyft drivers , who have permits through the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth , to operate at the airport . Unlike at Love Field , the plan at DFW would allow Uber and Lyft drivers to go straight to gates to pick up passengers . Torres explained the difference at Love Field . “ There ’ s an area designated for that type of transportation — and next to them is all the taxis and then the shuttles and then the limos , and then at the very far end will be the DART buses that will take you to the train station . ” Uber has recently held very big campaigns in North Texas involving their service in conjunction with helicopter flights . The deals provided air transportation and ground transportation from events like the College Football National Championship Game and more recently the Academy of Country Music Awards ( © 2015 CBS Local Media , a division of CBS Radio Inc .

http://dgff.unctad.org/chapter2/2.3.html | Chapter 2 : Global imbalances , crisis , and the lack of global governance Current account imbalances Current account imbalances Countries running a current account surplus must by necessity either experience net private capital outflows or accumulate international reserves ( i.e. official outflows ) . Similarly , countries running a current account deficit must by necessity either experience net financial inflows or run down its international reserve holdings . The United States provides a special case because the United States dollar serves as the world ’ s key reserve currency . The large and persistent United States current account deficits since the 1990s did not involve any run - down of the country ’ s international reserves . Rather , the equally large net capital inflows into the United States were partly net private inflows and partly official inflows When global imbalances and large United States current account deficits first emerged in the 1980s , the main surplus countries or regions were Japan and Western Europe – mainly Germany – also reflecting the fact that the rich industrialized countries represented more than 70 per cent of global trade at the time . In the first half of the decade , the United States recovered more strongly from the second oil price shock and the dollar appreciated strongly . The United States current account deficit then briefly disappeared by 1990 as the dollar depreciated strongly after the Plaza Accord of GDP growth in Japan and Western Europe picked up in the second half of the decade . The ( re - ) emergence of rising and persistent United States current account deficits since 1991 at first featured mainly the same surplus countries or regions as their counterpart . In both Japan and the European countries preparing to adopt the euro as their currency GDP growth was very sluggish during much of the 1990s while the United States dollar experienced a sizeable appreciation over the course of the decade . Imbalances among these developed countries or regions continued or increased until the global crisis . Apart from Germany , the Netherlands and Switzerland feature prominently among rich European Current account , net , by region , 1980 - 2010 ( Percentage of GDP ) Region 1980 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 Developing economies 1.2 0.4 - 1.6 1.4 4.6 2.4 Africa 1.5 0.7 - 2.7 2.8 6.1 0.4 America - 4.1 - 0.4 - 2.1 - 2.3 1.3 - 1.1 Asia 4.2 0.6 - 1.2 3.1 5.6 3.9 LDCs - 6.0 - 4.0 - 4.2 - 2.5 - 2.5 - 4.3 Transition economies - 3.2 - 2.8 0.3 11.8 7.6 3.4 Developed economies - 1.0 - 0.6 0.1 - 1.3 - 1.5 - 0.6 Source : UNCTAD secretariat calculations , based on UNCTADstat The global constellation became more complex at the end of the 1990s . In reaction to emerging market crises in East Asia in the late 1990s and Latin America in the early 2000s , many developing countries started running current account surpluses ; with Eastern Europe as the exception . Mirroring a marked increase in the United States deficit , in the aggregate , the developing world ’ s deficit shifted into surplus . Capital exports from developing countries contradict traditional development theory , which predicts that capital should flow from rich to poor countries . While a sizeable Sino ( Chart ) All along , the United States offset the deflationary forces originating in much of the rest of the world through widespread export orientation by encouraging borrowing and spending , particularly by private households . The resulting internal imbalances in the United States household and financial sectors began to implode as the property bubble burst in 2006 ( Chart ) ( Chart ) Current account balance of selected economies , 2005 – 2011 ( $ billions ) Source : UNCTAD secretariat calculations , based on UN DESA , National Accounts Main Aggregates database , WESP 2011 : Mid - year update ; and IMF , WEO database In current dollar terms , global current account imbalances peaked in 2007 – 2008 , shrank in 2009 – when the volume and value of global trade declined sharply – and widened again in 2010 – 2011 . The plunge and renewed surge in commodity prices – especially of oil – was a major factor in this . While the balances of the main surplus and deficit countries or regions are below their pre - crisis peak in both current dollar terms and as a per cent of world GDP , there has been no fundamental change in the imbalance Current account imbalances may arise for a number of reasons . Sharp commodity price swings , as witnessed over the last decade , provide one prominent reason , as the spending adjustment in exporting and importing countries typically lags behind changing export revenues or import bills , respectively . Another reason may be that a country begins to serve as a major hub for foreign firms in producing manufactures on a large scale while its population may still lack the earning capacity to consume imports on a scale sufficient to balance out its surging exports ( e.g. China ) . Highlights Persistent and large current account imbalances built up prior to the global crisis ; Imbalances are concentrated in a small group of countries ; The United States , the world ’ s key reserve currency issuer , is the largest deficit country ; Initially other developed countries were the main surplus countries ; Developing countries joined this group in the late 1990s , with China appearing as a globally significant contributor only since 2003 ; Capital exports from developing countries contradict orthodox development theory ; While the balances of the main surplus and deficit countries or regions are below their pre - crisis peak , there has been no fundamental change in the imbalance constellation ; Current account imbalances may arise for a number of reasons ; Current account imbalances caused by insufficient domestic demand in surplus countries and a loss of competitiveness in deficit countries require international coordination for a pro - growth rebalancing .

More about Census numbers In censuses having a long list of age categories ( viz . , 1830 and 1840 ) , the transcriber may leave off trailing zeroes . For example , in a case where the tally for white males and white females is actually : 0220001000000 - 1001010000000 the transcription may be truncated to 0220001 - 100101 This dropping of zeroes for empty higher age classes is why you see variable numbers of digits in some transcriptions of the 1830 and 1840 censuses . But I have a suggestion … To reduce errors in transcribing and reading long rows of numbers , it has long been standard practice in other fields of research and accounting ( currency ) to set long series of digits in threes . In other words , the above number would be 022 000 100 - 100 101 000 Once you get in the habit of doing it this way , you ' ll find it ' s not only easier to extract numbers and faster to read them , you will find yourself making fewer errors . Using the same series of numbers as an example , you can instantly tell that the " 1 " in the series of numbers for males is in the 7th column , without having to carefully count the digits , one - by - one , from left to right . And by using the column number and the tables I In both censuses , the middle digit in the second triplet indicates the individual is in his / her 20s ( æ 20 - 30 ) : 000 010 000 The last digit in the second triplet indicates the individual is in his / her 30s ( æ 30 - 40 ) : 000 001 000 The first digit in the third triplet indicates the individual is in his / her 40s ( æ 40 - 50 ) : 000 000 100 and so on . The age increments by a decade with each move to the right , and it ' s the same for both 1830 and 1840 . So . . . You can very quickly tell whether you have a young married couple : 000 010 000 - 100 010 000 or a mature couple with numerous children : 121 000 100 - 210 000 100 or a senior couple with an empty , or near empty , nest : 000 010 001 - 000 000 010 " The Cloud " is double - speak for " dumb terminal on a main frame .

Anti - tumour agents , ellagic acid derivatives etc , are being investigated from the extracts of this plant . Descriptions Three leaf types of the Beru tree are said to be found in Sri Lanka . The name Agrostistachys ciricacea " has been listed in an Asia - Pacific database but we do n ' t know what it is - Images and botany write up Beru The name is probabaly pronounced with a long " e " , බේරැ Mancharei Although the village of beruwala has been used by Arab traders , there has been no attempt to generate an Arabic or Tamilized place name here . Toponym : There are two possibilities for the origin of the name : ( 1 ) The name of the small fishing village on the south western coast known as " Beruwala " බේරුවල is likely to mean " the thicket of Beru trees , viz . , Beru - vala " , where " vala " means " vanaya " , ( and not pit ) in Sinhalese . Henry Yule ( Scottish historian and Geographer of the 19th century ) used the name Perivils for the port of Beruwela . The name " Perivil " may itself have been a europeanization of the sinhala name " Beru - vala " , as the change of B ↔ P , as well as " vil &harr : vala " are common . ( 2 ) A folklore etymology claims that the name comes from " Be - ruvala " , i.e. , " drop the sail " , where " Be " is said to represent baanava , and ruvala is sail . If this etymology is to be consistent , the name should be " Baeruvala " - බෑරුවල . Further more , sails are lowered long before the boat reaches land , and no such name is found in any other fishing harbour in Sri Lanka . Hence we strongly discount this etymology . History According to Prof . W . I . Suraweera ( Sunday Observer , August 2nd , 1998 ) , this fishing village has been one of the earliest Arab - trader settlements in Sri Lanka . Thus , From John de Marignolli ' s account ( 14th century ) it may be inferred that Beruwala had accepted Moor settlers . He states that the administrator at Perivills was Coya Jhan , apparently the name of a Moor chief . From the Sandesa poems it can be ascertained that Beruwala was a Moor trading centre in the fifteenth century with many mansions and large shops . The Beruwala mosque and the village were destroyed by the Portuguese . Today the area has a population of Muslims , Sinhalese Catholics and Buddhists .

Habarala is etymologically " Haburu ala " . The name " Haburu " tends to be used for " Gahala " interchangeably . A robust herb with bright green , large , triangular - sagittate , slightly repand leaves with strongly marked , whitish midrib , strong , pale secondary nerves . Alocasia plants differ from Colocasia by having the leaf stalk ( petiole ) join the leaf blade nearer the basal notch . In Colocasia , the petiole is attached closer to the center of the blade . Some varieties of gahala are edible if boiled sufficiently to get rid of hydrogencyanide which is generated from the Cyanogenic Gulocside contained in these tubers . Ginger contains linamarase - like compounds capable of releasing hydrocyanic acid from the glucoside ( e.g. , see : Kodagoda N , Marcus V , Ambalavaner S .

See Dorian Fuller et al punnaga , Naga - champa The Sanskrit name " Pun - naga " is sometimes claimed to have a " dravidian " etymology . In reality , it means " small " naaga tree , where " Pun " is cognate with the English " Puny " [ French puî né : younger ( sibling ) " ) , Latin Postia , i.e. , secondary ] , or small ( " podi " in Sinhala ) . In Sanskrit " puna " means a " repeat form " , in this case , of the Ironwood tree . Hence " Pun - naaga " is It is noteworth that the Sinhala name " Domba " is derived from the " Champa " form of the nme , and not the punnaaga form . punnai , pinnai , nagam The name " Punnai " in Tamil and its cognates found in other Dravidian languages such as Punna ( Malayalam ) , Ponne , Honne ( Kannada ) , Ponne ( Tulu ) , and Ponna ( Telugu ) are sometimes regarded as words of Dravidian etymology . However , the word has no clear meaning in Tamil ( while " Ponna " , etc . , could mean gold ) , although it has a clear meaning in Sanskrit / Prakrit . Hence the name may have come into the Dravidian languages via Prakrit to Tamil Prakrit , with Place names : Dombape ( Punanai ) Dombatuva ( Punanaitupe ) Dombape ( Punnalai ) Dombakaduva ( Punnalakadduvan ) Bata - Domba - lena The sinhala name " Domba " is most probabaly a distortion of the Sanskrit " Champa " which is possibly used in Pali as well .

Camellia sinensis , China tea Images and short write up Family : Theaceae ( Tea family ) It was known in China from ancient times . The ( as in Thé bes ) , තේ The gaha , The Kola Tea was introduced into Sri Lanka in the 19th century when the previous cash crop , Coffee , suffered disease . James Taylor , a Scottish planter who arrived in Sri Lanka in 1852 developed St Clair ' , Talawakele as a tea plantation , and the first shipment to London auctions was in 1875 . A monument to him by sculptor Sarath Chandrajeewa stands their today . Ceylon Tea ' soon became the major export of the country , and the best tea comes from the highest elevations in the hill country . Nuwara Eliya tea , close to Talawakele where the Tea Research Institute ( TRI ) is located , is a very high - quality tea . Low grown teas are less falvourful but richer in body ( mostly due to tanins ) . The commercial teas are a blend of high - grown and low - grown teas . There are six main varieties of tea ; white , yellow , green , oolong ( half - fermented variety ) , black ( fully fermented ) , and post - fermented ( Pu - erh ) tea , yellow and Pu - erh are not usually available in the market . 80 % of the tea consumption is black , though in China and Japan the most popular is green tea . Iced tea is the most popular tea in the US ; it is consumed in large amounts but is very unhealthy healthy as it is full of Syamaparni The Japanese tea ceremony ' is a highly important iconic Japanese cultural practice . Here green - tea powder is used in a ritualistic way . thayilai , Tey After picking , tea leaves begin to oxidize and darken due to the breakdown of chlorophyll , the green pigment , by enzymes in the cells which releases tannins . This process called fermentation can be stopped by heating and resultant wilting . The method of preparation affects flavor as well as the nutritional content . Black tea is made from leaves that are wilted and fully oxidized , oolong is wilted and only partly oxidized , green is wilted but not oxidized while white tea is neither wilted nor oxidized , made from very tender buds before they acquire Tea has many health benefits . The powerful antioxidant property of tea is likely to help in many ways : Drinking three or four cups of tea daily has been shown to reduce the chance of having a heart attack . ( Tea also reduces the level of cholesterol and fat in blood though in small amounts ) . A Japanese study has shown that those who drank more than five cups of green tea daily had a 26 % reduction in death from a heart attack or a stroke compared to those who drank one cup or less . The effect was more pronounced in women . A review in 2009 of 51 green tea studies showed drinking three to five cups a day lowered the risk of ovarian , colorectal , lung and prostate cancers . Drinking one to four cups of black or green tea has been linked with a lower risk of Parkinson ' s disease , according to the National Institute of Health of USA . There is data to show that tea reduces lung damage in smokers and prevent lung cancer but it is better not depend on tea to do the prevention but give up the killer fag ! Canarium zeylanicum , Aleurites triloba ( candle nut tree ) The nuts of this tree have been used by ancient indegenous people who inhabited Sri Lanka .

The Alaska Infant Learning Program envisions a system where all Alaskan families have access to the services and resources to help their children thrive . Our mission is to build upon natural supports and provide resources that assist family members and caregivers to enhance children ' s learning and development through everyday learning opportunities . To accomplish this , Alaska has adopted these seven key principles for providing early intervention services in natural environments : Infants and toddlers learn best through everyday experiences and interactions with familiar people in familiar contexts . All families , with the necessary supports and resources , can enhance their children ' s learning and development . The primary role of a service provider in early intervention is to work with and support family members and caregivers in children ' s lives . The early intervention process , from initial contacts through transition , must be dynamic and individualized to reflect the child ' s and family members ' preferences , learning styles and cultural beliefs . IFSP outcomes must be functional and based on children ' s and family ’ s needs and family - identified priorities . The family ' s priorities , needs and interests are addressed most appropriately by a primary provider who represents and receives team and community support . Interventions with young children and family members must be based on explicit principles , validated practices , best available research , and relevant laws and regulations .

http://diabetes.emedtv.com/humulin-70-30/generic-humulin-70-30.html | Generic Humulin 70 / 30 Is a Generic Version of Humulin 70 / 30 Available ? Humulin ® 70 / 30 ( NPH insulin regular insulin ) is a non - prescription diabetes medication . It contains a combination of 30 percent regular insulin ( a short - acting insulin ) and 70 percent NPH insulin ( an intermediate - acting insulin ) . It is typically taken twice a day before meals . Humulin 70 / 30 is made by Eli Lilly and Company . At this time , there are no generic versions of Humulin 70 / 30 ( or any other insulin medications ) available . There are other insulin mixtures available , but none of them are equivalent to Humulin 70 / 30 ( and probably more importantly , none of them are generic medications ) . Obstacles to Generic Insulin Like all insulins , Humulin 70 / 30 is considered to be a " biologic " medication . As a result , it is regulated by different rules and laws than most other medications . At this point , generic biologics ( including generic Humulin 70 / 30 ) are not allowed to be manufactured in the United States . Currently , legislation is underway that may change the laws concerning generic biologics , but it is not clear when ( or even if ) this may happen . At this point , it is impossible to predict when ( or even if ) a generic version of Humulin 70 / 30 may become available . eMedTV ' s free HealthSavvy service can help you stay up - to - date on this topic .

First , if you have type 1 , you ’ d probably need to talk about pancreatic islet transplantation or beta cell encapsulation in order to cure it . But that is a topic for another conversation . But on the topic of curing type 2 diabetes , I always hear people say , “ there is n ’ t money in a cure . ” People say this when referring to the pharmaceutical companies . And while I have mixed opinions on this after having close to a decade of experience working in Big Pharma I ’ ll keep my comments to myself . I will say this though . Type 2 diabetes , regardless of what you think , can be cured , reversed , managed , controlled … whatever you choose it to be . Now before I go off on a tangent , I have a couple of things to say : I ’ m not a physician and I ’ m not trying to give you advice pertaining to taking medication for type 2 diabetes .

And you continue to check your blood sugar periodically going forward just to make sure it is n ’ t out of control ever again . Guess what ? If you now went to your physician , and had a physical exam they ’ d say you ’ re normal . They would n ’ t diagnose you with type 2 diabetes . And that high reading would be your little secret . So what am I trying to say here ? Well , I ’ m trying to say , unlike other conditions out there , type 2 diabetes comes down to control . And with control , and tweaks in your lifestyle you can affect your blood sugar readings . You can reverse insulin resistance , which is one of the reasons why your blood sugar rises to diabetic levels in type 2 diabetes . You can lose weight . You can modify your diet . All of the things that affect type 2 diabetes . So can you cure type 2 diabetes ?

Because this light has been illuminated on your dashboard , your vehicle will have stored a code which you need to retreive in order to fix the problem , or find the source of the problem . You can find these code readers on our BMW code reader page , and for the BMW E46 we recommend the BMW iCarsoft i910 code reader which will allow you to read & clear BMW trouble codes and reset the dashboard warning lights . The i910 will read manufacturer specific fault codes and generic fault codes , exactly like they will do in the official BMW workshops . BMW E46 EML warning light - the EML stands for Engine Management Light and if illuminated indicates there is a fault within the engine module . You can diagnose & clear the warning light by using the iCarsoft i910 diagnostic kit . The fault could be relating to a faulty part such as O2 sensor , igniton coil . BMW E46 3 Series SRS airbag warning light - This is the common airbag light symbol which will illuminate on your BMW dashboard . If this light is lit up it means there is a problem in the airbag SRS system ( supplimental restraint system ) and you need to get this checked out . The good news is that it can be done cheaply . If your BMW was made between 1994 & 2003 you need to use our B800 BMW airbag reset tool - it is a simple plug & play device which plugs into your OBD diagnostic port ( either under the dashboard near the steering wheel , or within the engine compartment ) The tool will reset the code , remove the dashboard light and even comes with a code book to tell you where the problem was in the first place . If your bmw was made after 2003 you will need to use the excellent iCarsoft i910 Here you can watch a video of the iCarsoft i910 tool resetting the BMW airbag light - The i910 is also available from our BMW airbag light section and will also read trouble codes & problem codes from other modules such as engine & ABS .

If you have replaced your brake pads and the dash light is still illuminated , you will need to visit to get replacement sensors . BMW E46 3 Series cooling system or coolant light - stop when safe , check and top up coolant as needed . Check also for coolant leaks under the engine because a cracked or split e46 expansion tank is quite common . In this case the cooling system needs to be drained and a new tank installed which is generally a DIY job if you feel confident . BWM E46 3 Series low oil pressure warning light - check oil pressure immediately & add oil upto the correct level . If you have added oil and the light remaims , or the light stays on for an extened period of time after start up , you will need to replace the oil level sensor which can be found by visiting BMW E46 3 Series battery charge is low . Do not drive for long distances and have it checked by a professional immediately . It could be a battery which needs to be replaced , or it could be another issue like a faulty alternator .

http://diarrhea.emedtv.com/stomach-flu/stomach-flu-diagnosis.html | Stomach Flu Diagnosis Stomach Flu Diagnosis : An Overview In order to make a stomach flu diagnosis ( the medical term is viral gastroenteritis ) , the doctor will ask a number of questions about a person ' s medical history , including questions about : Symptoms Current medical conditions Current medications Family history of any medical conditions Recent travel history Recent food and liquid consumption . The doctor will also usually perform a physical exam , looking for signs and symptoms of stomach flu In most cases , based on the medical history and physical exam , the doctor will make a stomach flu diagnosis , but will not be able to say specifically which virus is causing the stomach flu symptoms . This is because there is no routine lab test that can detect most stomach flu viruses . The exception to this is rotavirus . A rotavirus diagnosis may be made by testing the stool for the virus using rapid antigen detection tests . Your doctor may also ask for a stool sample to rule out bacteria or parasites as the cause of your symptoms . Making a Stomach Flu Diagnosis in Special Cases In special cases , such as when there is an outbreak of gastroenteritis , there is a need to identify which stomach flu virus or type of bacteria is the cause of the illness . In these cases , stomach flu viruses can often be found in stool samples of infected people by using special tests . Sometimes , blood tests looking for stomach flu antibodies are also performed when the stool tests are inconclusive or were not done . Food handlers will often be asked for a stool sample or even a blood sample to help investigate the cause of an outbreak . | [

The series seemed to instil documentary and characteristics into each film of its own accord , as though a matter of course . From Cambridge English Corpus This assertion supports the view that principles of law remain applicable to refugees who are caught in the midst of armed conflicts . From Cambridge English Corpus The strategy of the patent - based industry was to draw attention to other causes of the crises in least developed countries . Economic and political motives seemed to take precedence over considerations . When things go wrong , or do not happen according to plan , then the humanitarians share the responsibility for the suboptimal outcomes . Effacing borders helps to promote medicine ' s universalistic claims and also endorses goals when political conflicts might interfere with public health endeavors . Resource flows to support ' ' imperatives , are then used by these warriers for political purposes . Alongside work for the most needy , the organisation also runs projects directed towards socially more stable and well - established groups . The central argument - that the best and the brightest ideas of humanitarians can sometimes have bad consequences - will hardly be a surprise . Repudiating the rationalist systems , he stressed the essential values of a , liberal approach to education . There are no documented instances where inflows of foreign aid or assistance were affected by a host state ' s policies towards refugees on its territory . The criteria for assistance were in the first instance governed by political rather than considerations . Basically , it is no longer sufficient for agencies to save lives . Humanitarian organisations are thus forced to make difficult compromises between these two polar positions . But interventions out of concerns overlook the cause of the problem and the long - term impact that any withdrawal of foreign troops might have .
