Recipes within Paleo and Juliet are not 100% Paleo, 100% of the time. Our interest and attempt at Paleo was driven by my very sick husband several years ago. Since then (and much research/experiments later), we have added back things that do not wreak havoc with his digestive system. Paleo IS a very healthy way to eat, especially if you have digestive issues, an auto immune disorder or other health concerns. It simply jumpstarts the healing process; it just doesn't happen over night.
So if your goal is to go 100% Paleo, do your research and know what ingredients you need to eliminate. Many non-Paleo ingredients are not make-it/break-it ingredients and recipes will work fine without them.
Here's to your health and what works best for you!

Trump to outline 'vision' for infrastructure package in coming weeks, Cabinet official says

National reporter leading The Post's breaking political news team
President Trump will outline his "vision" in the "next several weeks" of an infrastructure package that relies heavily on state, local and private money to make good on a promised $1 trillion in new investments over the coming decade, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao said Monday.
Trump's pledge to rebuild the country's roads, bridges and airports was a key campaign promise that has been on the back burner in the early stages of his presidency as he has pursued health-care legislation and outlined a tax-cut package, both of which remain a long way from completion.
Trump touts plans for $1 trillion in infrastructure spending — and possibly more
Chao said the Republican president's forthcoming infrastructure plan — which she said "will kick off our collaboration with Congress" — will include $200 billion in direct federal funding. Although Democrats broadly share infrastructure investments as a priority, they prefer far more direct federal spending.
"A key feature of the infrastructure plan will be unleashing the billions of dollars in private capital available for investment in infrastructure," Chao said at an event held by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, adding that states and localities that already have secured funding for projects will be given higher priority for federal funding.
Ed Mortimer, the chamber's executive director of transportation infrastructure, said he expects an outline of "principles" from the administration in the coming weeks, with a fuller plan later this year.
Trump took a similar approach on his tax plan, releasing a one-page description last month, accompanied by the promise of a fuller proposal later after consultation with Congress.
Trump considers borrowing 'much more' than $300 billion to fund U.S. construction projects
Chao's remarks Monday echoed previous comments by Mick Mulvaney, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, about the balance between federal and nonfederal spending, but also offered some new details.
Chao said that the administration would identify and fund directly "a few special projects" that are unlikely to draw private investment.
"Candidates for the special category may include projects that have the potential to significantly increase GDP growth or to lift the American spirit," she said, without elaborating.
Chao said Trump's plan, which is being developed by a task force that includes 16 federal agencies, will reflect a "broad and inclusive" definition of infrastructure.
"It not only recognizes traditional infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, railroads, inland waterways and ports," she said. "It may also potentially include energy, water, broadband and veterans hospitals as well."
Should broadband be included in the Trump infrastructure plan?
Chao said the package will include measures intended to "revitalize our country's workforce." She said greater "digital literacy" will be needed to manage the country's future infrastructure, including "fleets of cars that talk to each other, dispatched by workers at a computer."
As Trump and other administration officials have emphasized, Chao said the package will include steps to streamline regulations with the aim of allowing infrastructure projects to be constructed more quickly.
She said the administration recognizes that there is no "one-size-fits-all" approach on infrastructure. For example, she said, toll roads are more appropriate for urban areas than for rural areas where they are less traveled.
Her remarks were delivered at the fifth annual "Infrastructure Week" event held by the chamber. The goal of new investments is shared by business and labor leaders, who are often at odds on other policy objectives.
Underscoring the common goal, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka addressed the gathering in a video, noting how long the discussion stage has been.
"This isn't a field of dreams, and instead of building, we've been discussing and delaying," he said.
He praised Trump for including the $1 trillion infrastructure pledge in his speech to a joint session of Congress earlier this year but said the size of the package should probably be even larger.
"Where is the bill? It's go time," Trumka said.
Mortimer said the chamber remains "optimistic" that a broad infrastructure plan will make it through Congress.
Asked whether $200 billion in direct federal spending is enough, he replied: "We think it's an excellent start. Congress may decide to do more than that as the process goes forward."

Unstable as water, you shall not have pre-eminence because you went up to your father's bed; then you defiled it—you went up to my couch!
like water boiling over you will not have extra, for you got up into your father's bed, when you defiled a maid's couch.
But you are out of control, like floodwaters; you have forfeited your place because you have lain with your father's wife and defiled his bed—you climbed onto my couch!
Boiling over like water, you shall not excel; because you went up to your father's bed, then defiled it. He went up to my couch.
(but) thou art shed out as water; wax thou not, for thou ascendedest on the bed of thy father, and defouledest his bed.
Unstable as water, thou art not abundant; For thou hast gone up thy father's bed; Then thou hast polluted: My couch he went up!

US resumes talks with Taliban in Doha
Saturday, December 7, 2019 12:47 pm | News | 0 Comment(s)
US Chief negotiator with Taliban Zalmay Khalilzad
The United States resumed talks with the Taliban in Qatar Saturday, a US source said, three months after President Donald Trump abruptly halted diplomatic efforts that could end America's longest war.
The talks came a week after President Donald Trump hinted about the talks during a surprise trip to Afghanistan to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday with troops on 28 November.
In September, the United States and the Taliban had appeared on the verge of signing a deal that would have seen Washington begin withdrawing thousands of troops in return for security guarantees.
It was also expected to pave the way towards direct talks between the Taliban and the government in Kabul and, ultimately, a possible peace agreement after more than 18 years of war.
But that same month, Trump abruptly called the year-long effort "dead" and withdrew an invitation to the insurgents to join secret talks at his US retreat at Camp David after the killing of an American soldier.
"The US rejoined talks today in Doha. The focus of discussion will be reduction of violence that leads to intra-Afghan negotiations and a ceasefire," said the US source briefed on efforts to end almost two decades of war in Afghanistan.
Even during the stall in talks, US negotiator Zalmay Khalilzad has in recent weeks made a whistle-stop tour of nations with a stake in Afghan peace, including Pakistan.
He recently arranged a captive swap in which the Taliban released an American and an Australian academic whom they had held hostage for three years.
A halt to Taliban attacks is the key priority for Kabul in the resumed talks between Washington and the insurgents
The Taliban have until now refused to negotiate with the Afghan government, which they consider an illegitimate regime.
In a nod to concerns raised by Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, the State Department voiced support for a ceasefire — a key priority for Kabul before it enters negotiations with the Islamist insurgents.

Joseph Burton-Harris Confirms Euro MAX Deal
Birel Kartsport Australia driver Joseph Burton-Harris has confirmed he will be competing in the entire Euro Max Series throughout 2013 in an RK Kart.
The 15 year-old will join the Kalman Motorsport team for his campaign with the full support of RK Karts' parent company, Birel Motorsport.
Having been one of the front-runners on the Australian Rotax scene for a couple of years now, Burton-Harris sees this opportunity as the next step in his flourishing career.
"For the past couple of years we've been focused on working towards the goal of gaining an opportunity in Europe and I'm delighted to be able to get this opportunity in 2013," said Burton-Harris.
"Since joining the Birel Kartsport Australia team in October last year, my career has stepped up another level with the opportunities that have opened up. I'm thankful to Steve Macken and his team for their help in putting this deal together.
"Along with the Euro Series, I will still be competing here in Australia as much as possible and also looking to compete in a couple of events in America."
Birel Kartsport Australia boss Steve Macken believes that the confirmation that Burton-Harris will be competing on the European stage on a regular basis is a sign of how high the standard of racing in Australia is.
"We've always thought that we had some good drivers here in Australia but it's not until they take on the Europeans on their home soil that we find out how good they really are," said Macken.
"I believe Joseph is one of the best young drivers that's going around at the moment, not just here in Australia but in the world as a whole. His performance at the Rotax Grand Finals in Portugal last year was an impressive one and one that secured this opportunity for him.
"Through our links with the Birel factory in Italy we are hoping to open more doors for young Australians to chase their dreams throughout Europe. Hopefully Joseph is the first of a number of drivers who we will see competing throughout Europe over the coming years."
In further news for the Birel Kartsport Australia team, it has been confirmed that James Macken will be heading over to Italy early next month. Macken was invited by Birel President Ronni Sala to be a part of the Birel 'family' where he will be a part of the Factory team's test program and assist in various areas for the team.
The Birel Kartsport Australia team will make its first appearance for 2013 at the Rotax Pro Tour event in Melbourne on January 26/27.
PR from JBH:
Birel Motorsport has signed Joseph Burton-Harris to lead their European Junior Rotax program in 2013. Ronni Sala (Birel Motorsport CEO) met JBH while at the Rotax World Finals in Portugal 2012. The deal was forged from a number of factors. Ronni witnessed Burton-Harris' great drive in the Pre-Final in Portugal from 32nd to 12th adding to his great qualifying performance in Wackersdorf Germany (Euromax 2012 Rd2) and some smooth driving from the back in Salbris France (Euromax 2012 Rd4) when a technical infringement put him to the back of all heats. A glowing reference from Birel and RK Kart Australia CEO Steve Macken sealed it.
"I believe Joseph is one of the best young drivers that's going around at the moment, not just here in Australia but in the world as a whole. His performance at the Rotax Grand Finals in Portugal last year was an impressive one and one that secured the opportunity for him" commented Steve Macken "Through our links with the Birel factory in Italy we are hoping to open more doors for young Australians to chase their dreams throughout Europe. Hopefully Joseph is the first of a number of drivers who we will see competing throughout Europe over the coming years"
Burton-Harris is very eager to start his European campaign..."It is great to see that all the years of hard work and practice both on and off the track have paid off. Joining a European factory team has been my goal for the last 2 years and to join Birel Motorsports Italy racing the RK chassis is a dream come true. Their history in karting is legend."
Umberto Sala (original creator and founder of the recently branded Birel Motorsports) has often been referred to as a legend in karting not only in his home country of Italy but worldwide. Birel was born from the improvements he made to the first kart ever made in the USA in 1956. This new kart dominated karting in Europe in the 1960's-80's with infamous Birel drivers such as Oscar Sala (Umberto's son); Ricardo Patrese; Mike Wilson; Alessandro Zanardi and Gianluca Beggio. The modern Birel story includes 6 Formula C World Championships from 1990 to 2000 and the branding of the name Birel now managed by Ronni Sala (son of Oscar). (40 years of Kart Technology and History (2003) R Perone)
The European Junior Rotax program will be delivered by Kalman Motorsport on behalf of the Birel Factory. Kalman Motorsport had great success in the Euromax series in 2012 with Senior classes. Peter Kalman is excited to have Joseph Burton-Harris leading the Junior team in 2013 and ready to build on Kalman and Birel's achievements of 2012.
Burton-Harris will commence his European progam on March 27th 2013 at Genk, Belgium for Round 1 of the Euromax Rotax Challenge.
Joseph Burton-Harris would like to thank the following key people who have contributed to this achievement, not only for JBH but karting in Australia as a whole:
Steve Macken - CEO Birel Kart Australia and RK Kart Australia
Ben George and Chris Schofield - R360
Ian Burton
Troy Hunt - Top Gun Racing
Troy Farley - TF Engines

How 'The Shining' Inspired a 'Stranger Things' Season 2 Character
By Caitlin Busch

Nancy, Steve, and Jonathan might bring another teenager into the fold in Stranger Things Season 2, but that doesn't mean he won't be a threat.
Stranger Things Season 2 newcomer Dacre Montgomery, best known for his role as Jason (the Red Ranger) in 2017's Power Rangers film, joined Natalia Dyer (Nancy Wheeler) and Joe Keery (Steve Harrington) to talk about the inspiration for his character, Billy, at San Diego Comic-Con.
Season 2 of the Duffer Brothers' hit Netflix series is expected to be more horror-centric than the first, and if Billy's inspiration is any indication, the show is well on its way to achieving that goal.
"I was given a lot of Jack Nicholson," Montgomery said when asked by IMDb about what the Duffer Brothers had assigned him to watch before taking on the role. "Like The Shining. Because my character, I think, in many ways, has that kind of unpredictable nature that Jack Nicholson sort of has. So, the Duffers were very encouraging in kind of giving me space to explore but also encouragement to look to a lot of Jack Nicholson's work."
Further details about Season 2 are few and far between, including hints about Montgomery's Billy and Sadie Sink's Max, the season's new additions.
While it's a stretch to say Montgomery will totally recreate Nicholson's iconic "Here's Johnny" scene from The Shining (based on Stephen King's novel of the same name) in Season 2, he'll most likely embody some of Nicholson's manic energy. And with things in Hawkins, Indiana, already tense after the events of Season 1, having an unpredictable character around won't make things any easier.
Stranger Things Season 2 premieres on Netflix on October 27.

KINGSTON – A group that opposes the proposed building of wind turbines on Amherst Island hopes a letter to the provincial government will discourage it from approving a wind project planned for the island.
Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp., through its subsidiary Windlectric Inc., is planning to erect 33 to 37 wind turbines on the island, each of which would stand 50 storeys high, that would generate 75 megawatts. The project is awaiting approval from the Ontario government.
In a letter dated Nov. 15, Peter Large, president of the Association to Protect Amherst Island, states that the "unique, bio-diverse" island wouldn't be a suitable for an "industrial-scale wind-turbine complex" because it is, among other reasons, an important migration stop for a variety of endangered birds.

The dimensions of the cristali
The history of the cristalinn
In 1978, Gérard Pierard opened his heating company in Naninne, after having been a researcher at the Cerac lab, now ACV (boiler and boiler manufacturer) and at a renowned design office in the Liège region.
Faced with the growing number of problems in heating and sanitary installations (mud, limestone, corrosion,...), Mr PIERARD begins to look for a product or appliance that is really effective.
Several products have been tested by the PIERARD energy efficiency, but it was in 1989 that Gérard Pierard decided to make a mixture of several products to create the first version, in pot, of Cristalinn.
In 1996, Mr PIERARD created the Cristalinn System, in its first version: Pots and hood, in order to stand out from the filter products of the time.
In 2001, with her youngest daughter who had the idea to make a blue ball, with a round and blue cowl that hid the pots inside.
Why? to recall our beautiful blue planet. That's how the blue ball was created.
This product was presented at Batimat in Paris and was a resounding success.
Then the hood was replaced by the spherical shape with the degassing system and the speed of the water in the Cristalinn, which makes this good taste in water.
The blue ball was copied in 2016, which proves that Mr PIERARD was a pioneer in the field of water.
Since then, the Cristalinn continues to improve, we are the only ones to have found the sealing of the spherical form under 6 bars of water pressure.
Mr PIERARD passed away in 2018 and it is naturally, Sylvie and Xavier, his youngest daughter and her husband, who are taking over the production of Cristalinn, which remains definitively a family story.

The Internet After Net Neutrality
Richard Bennett Like December 12, 2017 0
As we approach the FCC's repeal of its Obama-era net neutrality regulations, boosters are panicking. Chairman Ajit Pai has made a bold decision, moving enforcement of unfair and deceptive broadband trade practices to the Federal Trade Commission. The implications are sinking in: Pai has called the net neutrality movement's bluff and they want to delay the Commission's vote.
Prophesies of the end of the Internet as we know it will now be tested, and they're probably going to fail: ISPs are not going to offer pay-to-play fast lanes to websites. This has long been clear to networking geeks because the web comes nowhere close to using the speed ISPs make available to it already.
The Web Performance Gap
The average speed of America's fixed-line broadband connections is 75 Mbps (according to Speedtest.net.) If ISPs controlled how quickly we receive content, we would expect web pages to load at speeds close to these measured averages. But they're nowhere close.
According to the FCC's measurements, typical web pages won't load faster than 12 – 15 Mbps regardless of network speed. Changing from a 15 Mbps plan to a gigabit subscription will make gaming and video editing faster, but it won't do a thing for mainstream video streaming and the web.
No web-based service is going to pay ISPs to speed up parts of the Internet that consistently outperform their own equipment. Some apps will benefit from – and pay for – higher quality, but not the web.
Speeding up the Web
When Internet companies want to deliver their content faster they pay content delivery networks. CDNs provide more servers placed close to end users than small companies can buy on their own. They do this because overloaded web servers are the speed bumps on the road to a good Internet experience. But net neutrality advocates have taught us to blame ISPs even when they're not at fault.
ISPs have never offered web acceleration for a fee. They could have offered such a service at any time prior to 2015, but they didn't because it makes absolutely no sense. ISPs can't "accelerate" web traffic, they can only forward it to users as fast as they receive it from websites, which isn't very fast.
Former FCC chairman Tom Wheeler failed to conduct a thorough, impartial analysis of the advocacy claims animating his decision to impose bright line rules on broadband networks. Incidents of misbehavior have occurred, but not so frequently as to warrant pre-emptive regulations. The practices he banned can all be beneficial in certain contexts, rhetoric notwithstanding.
Crying Wolf
The death of net neutrality is an existential threat to the pressure groups who've claimed the Internet owes more to federal regulators than to technical innovators and risk-taking entrepreneurs. If the Internet works better next year and the year after than it does today, we'll know the net neutrality movement has been crying wolf.
By the same token, if it collapses we'll applaud them for telling us the honest truth and rush to restore Wheeler's regulations.
Calling the Bluff
In erasing the 2015 order, Chairman Pai is closing a policy debate that has raged in Washington for 15 years and in the engineering community since the 1970s.
Few net neutrality advocates realize that the current Internet regulation argument is an echo of historical engineering discourse about where to locate control points – traffic lights – in computer networks. When computers were slower, it was necessary to choose between more lanes on the information freeway and metering lights.
Creative Synthesis
The technical debate came to an end in the '90s when semiconductor chips became fast enough to do both. Modern Ethernet is a synthesis of 1970s Ethernet and its competitor, the IBM Token Ring. The policy community didn't get the memo on this development and the pressure groups don't appear to care.
The truth is that networks need to be extremely fast, highly reliable, and very well-behaved. But networks are only one part of the Internet, and not the most troublesome or dangerous one at that. Content, malware, and surveillance are the real trouble spots.
Having it All
We're paying the price for placing too little emphasis on the health of the overall Internet and too much on the facets – such as broadband speed – easiest to measure. Net neutrality didn't cause fake news, inattention to the social consequences of user-generated content did.
Net neutrality's creators and protectors – chiefly, law professors Mark Lemley, Lawrence Lessig, Tim Wu, and Barbara van Schewick – guessed that the Internet's ideal regulatory paradigm might be inherent in its design. This guess was wrong, but it took 20 years to disprove.
Let's not be distracted by shiny objects any more. The Internet still has tremendous promise as well as serious problems to solve. Making it better through continuous experimentation should be the top priority.
See my research paper: "You Get What You Measure: Internet Performance as a Policy Tool" for detailed breakdowns of Internet performance factors.

Used books Mál og Menning might be the biggest bookstore in the country, but that doesn't mean that you'll always pay top dollar. There are frequent clearance sales where you can buy paperbacks from all genres, generally all priced under 1000 ISK each. Keep your eyes open for tables full of books stacked in no particular order. Mál og Menning. Laugavegur 18, 9:00-22:00 weekdays, 10:00-22:00 weekends.
Fruit! Fruit is usually pretty expensive in Iceland but 10-11 offers generous portions of grapes, melon, or a fresh fruit mix for 299 ISK. Now you have no excuse for that bad case of scurvy that's been alienating you from your roommates. 10-11, locations around the country.
Nicotine Depending on which country or state you live in, you might normally need a doctor's prescription to buy cigarette alternatives. But in Iceland, you can buy nicotine gum, the patch, nicotine pills and even the nicotine inhaler (which we must warn you, might as well be crack), all over the counter.

Ak Warns AEIF Consultant
Monday, April 24, 2006 3:57:46 PM - Monroe Ohio
AK Steel Warns AEIF and Union Consultant Michael D. Locker on Misinformation Campaign
Monday April 24, 1:27 pm ET
MIDDLETOWN, Ohio, April 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AK Steel (NYSE: AKS - News) said it had issued a written warning today to a New York-based union consultant to the Armco Employees Independent Federation (AEIF), the independent union that represents hourly employees who have been locked-out of the company's Middletown (OH) Works over a contract dispute since March 1, 2006.
The company said that Michael D. Locker, president of Locker Associates, Inc., representing the AEIF, had recently been contacting AK Steel shareholders, independent steel industry analysts and others to communicate false and damaging information about AK Steel's operating and financial position. AK Steel said it obtained notice of the communications directly from some of the company's large shareholders and independent steel analysts.
AK Steel said it also sent a written warning to Robert H. Mitchell, an attorney for the Cincinnati law firm Manley Burke, which is representing the AEIF in contract negotiations, and sent a copy of that letter to AEIF president Brian C. Daley.
AK Steel said that the AEIF had paid more than $42,000 to Locker Associates in 2005 and was continuing to utilize the firm in 2006 on its behalf in labor negotiations. AK Steel said Locker had performed work for the AEIF and other unions representing AK Steel employees on several other occasions dating back to 1996.
Headquartered in Middletown, Ohio, AK Steel produces flat-rolled carbon, stainless and electrical steel products for automotive, appliance, construction and manufacturing markets, as well as tubular steel products.

/Web Hosting FAQ's /Web Hosting Related /Web Hosting Resources /How To Select Enough Amount Of Bandwidth For A Website?
'Bandwidth' is a factor which never remains constant, it will be always a varying factor according to amount of data, a particular website is sending and receiving. The consumption of bandwidth will be always changing which makes its selection a little bit critical. The selection of amount of bandwidth completely depends upon guessing the amount of data that particular website will be dealing with. It's always recommended to select some sort of extra bandwidth than the website will actually require.
Following are the two key factors to be considered while selecting the amount of bandwidth within your web hosting package.
How much visitors are expected to the website withing a particular time interval?
How much data will be uploaded and downloaded through that website?

Walk (in the Rain) for Rice!
Great turnout today at the Walk for Rice from the Seattle Betsuin Buddhist Women's Association, Camp Fire, and general temple membership. It was wet but we all wore smiles along with our raincoats walking the 2.5-mile loop around Seward Park. We walked behind a colorful church banner painted by Susie Taketa and adorned with a rice bag and tactile representation of a rice bowl. Church teams raised about $2000 for the ACRS food bank!


We are going to ban live export! This cruel trade is absolutely disgusting and cannot go on. Animals are sentient: they feel, they feel scared and in pain as they are being hauled into ships with horrible living conditions. They feel scared and in pain when they are confined in small spaces for long periods of time covered in feces with inadequate food and water and they feel scared and in pain when people are stabbing there eyes and beating them to death with sledge hammers as a form of entertainment. The way these animals are being treated can not continue, please sign our petition to ban live exporting animals.

Q: Who is changing my files to read only? My files are being changed to read-only. I am the only user on the computer, so it is actually a program that is doing this to me. I need a program or a way to watch a directory to see who is changing the file attributes.

A: You might check out Process Monitor from Microsoft, which is the replacement for the old Filemon and Regmon Sysinternals tools.  It should be able to tell you whenever the file is touched, opened, or otherwise molested.

A: Wrote this before I noticed you asked for Windows, but what the hell, if it was Ubuntu:
apt-get install auditd
sudo auditctl -w /home/kbrandt/scrap/whiteS.pl
tail -f /var/log/audit.log
#Type chmod 754/home/kbrandt/scrap/whiteS.pl
type=PATH msg=audit(1267801827.941:7): item=0 name="whiteS.pl" inode=143716 dev=07:00 mode=0100754 ouid=1923 ogid=1000 rdev=00:00

A: Turn on "Audit Object Access" in either the local security policy or a GPO that targets the servers you're interested in monitoring. Then, go to the objects that you want to monitor and turn on auditing for them. This article is concerning Windows XP but is pertinent for the Server OS as well: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310399

A: What files are being changed?  If they are system files, it's quite likely that Windows File Protection is pulling them back with the correct attributes from it's cache (I haven't confirmed this and I'm not about to go messing with my own system files as a test).
If it's a folder that's being reset to read-only, have a look at >this KB article< and >this Old New Thing<, bear in mind that the behaviour is by design, and decide if it's really that big a deal before implementing the suggested solution.

Even a single unpaid ticket could potentially result in a bench warrant for your arrest, accrual of interest on your fine, additional court or filing fees, a blemish on your driving record (for traffic-related citations), you being prohibited from renewing your driver's license or vehicle registration, and/or intervention of a collection agency (and the often-harassing ways in which they attempt to recover past due amounts). Let the attorneys of Jack Byno & Associates help you today by calling 817-685-0912.
There are two common types of warrants issued in traffic cases. An alias warrant is what the court will issue when a person fails to respond or show up for a hearing on the traffic citation. For those with an alias warrant out for their arrest, there is still an opportunity to appear in court. An attorney can help post your bond and give you a chance to fight the charges. A capias warrant, on the other hand, is issued when you do not comply with the orders of the court. For this type of warrant, there are basically only two options - you can pay the fine or go to jail. If you want to fight your traffic ticket call an attorney at 817-685-0912.

This poor monkey is being raised in a Monkey Orphanage by Kind But Impersonal Monkey Nuns. He is waiting for Leland to adopt him.
Leland, my youngest, wants many things.
When he was Five, he wanted a robot. That never happened.
Bitterly, he built his own robots — so many of them — out of things he stole from our closets (shoes, hats, watches, jewelry, lingerie), and he left them lying around the house like reproaches.
When he was Seven, he thought he should have a parrot. He faced a wasteland of disappointment on this score also. I once offered to make him an egg sandwich to ameliorate his grief. He said he would rather have counseling.
When he was Twelve, he thought his own hut on a beach near his very own rum plantation was a reasonable request. I gave him ten years' worth of Halloween pirate costume bits and pieces (including a very nice loin cloth) and wished him my very best.
I even demanded: "Why is the rum always gone?" to express my sympathy, with a hearty "Yo-Ho!" as punctuation.
He squinted at me, sharpened his plastic swords, and said nothing.
This year, he wanted an unsupervised alcohol-rich party at our house (his father and I were meant to furnish large quantities of alcohol, and then cool our heels at a nearby motel, ignoring the sound of sirens and the frantic buzzing of our cell phones) for his 18th birthday.
The Glorious and Much-Deserved 18th Birthday Present (in time for the creature to perform tricks at said alcohol-soaked, unsupervised party) was to have been: a monkey.
Any kind of monkey. It just had to be cute and smart, according to Leland.
If you ask him, Leland will tell you he never gets what he wants.
And, on the face of it, as I sift through the tattered pieces of his childhood under our fumbling supervision, I have to conclude that he may be right.
But the negotiations, which have evolved over the years from face-to-face disappointment to electronic embitterment, are always fun.
Leland, dear boy, as penance, I am turning myself over to the proper parenting authorities.
Please accept my blanket apology for the Childhood of Deprivation (we know what horrors this phrase encompasses, and we won't speak of this again).
You still can't have a monkey.

A:
it doesn't work very well for that.

In the future, please provide more details as to why it does not work, so people can help you better.

the original vlc player does it

FYI, VLC uses Qt.
Listen for libvlc_MediaPlayerPositionChanged or libvlc_MediaPlayerTimeChanged then query the mediaplayer for the value and set it on the UI control (and vice versa for the user to set time).

1995 FORD WINDSTAR GL MINIVAN
by: BILL RUSS
SEE ALSO:Ford Buyer's Guide
Before 1984 only one American automaker produced minivans and it accounted for less than one-percent of truck industry sales. Ten years later every domestic manufacturer makes one, as do many overseas producers. This popular vehicle class now accounts for a market share of around 20 percent and sales of over one million units annually. The newest entry in this field is from Ford. Its all-new 1995 Windstar minivan was originally to be the replacement for the aging but still popular Aerostar van which, due to popular demand, will still be in Ford's lineup for awhile.
The all-new Windstar is the minivan in Ford's future. The Windstar was designed to possess very passenger car-like comfort, handling and performance characteristics. It is based on the popular Taurus sedan and offers a similar powertrain, plus an extended platform and a longer wheelbase, wider width and higher cabin. The result is a very roomy minivan with flexible interior arrangement patterns, a quite low step-in for easy access, and a higher seating position for improved visibility with 65 square feet of curved tinted glass. The Windstar can comfortably accommodate a driver and from one to six passengers, with a cargo area varying from a high of 144 cubic feet with just the front seats occupied down to 24 cubic feet when three rows of seats accommodating up to seven passengers are in position.
APPEARANCE: The Windstar is a well-rounded vehicle that follows the design trends that Ford has pursued in its automotive products for the last ten years. Its appearance bears resemblance to its corporate logo, Ford's blue oval trademark. The now-familiar two-box minivan design is highlighted by a short steeply sloped hood and large cabin. Up front there are three oval air intakes and wide wrap-around headlights. The sculpted side panels have contrasting bumper strips for parking lot protection. A large top-opening rear hatch plus three wide easy opening doors provide easy access.
COMFORT: The roomy interior of the seven-passenger Windstar GL is cloth upholstered. Each front bucket seat is manually adjustable, while the two rows of rear seats are easily removable. The back bench seat provides seven inches of fore and aft travel. Both the sound and climate systems have dual controls for the rear area of the large cabin. Earphone connections allow the two back seat passengers to listen to and tune the radio when the sound is off for the rest of the vehicle. Separate switches control the temperature and volume of air for the rear area. The rear side windows can be opened and closed remotely by the driver. The large rear hatch features a convenient pull-down strap, plus a nearby remote lock/unlock switch for the rest of the doors. The curved dash carries a complement of analog instruments plus audio and climate systems and cup holders. A 30-second accessory delay allows powered accessories to be used after the engine has been turned off.
SAFETY: As standard equipment the Windstar is equipped with dual front airbags and front knee bolsters, side impact beams, sliding door child safety lock, five-mph front and rear bumpers and three point safety belts for all outboard passengers. Vision from all seats is excellent.
ROADABILITY: Ford's Windstar GL is an above average highway cruiser that also offers a smooth quiet ride. Its ride is passenger-car like in softness and corner lean. It is quite stable at highway speeds, and wind noise is practically unnoticeable. As in most vehicles the about of road noise is dependent upon the type of tires and the road surface, and in this area the Windstar is very quiet when cruising down the road. The Michelin XW4 P205/70R 15 inch all-season tires provide a good grip on the road, while the standard anti-lock brakes assure safe stopping qualities.
PERFORMANCE: The heart of the Windstar's powertrain is its well-proven 3.8 liter, overhead valve, balance-shaft-equipped V-6 engine, coupled to an electronically controlled four-speed automatic overdrive transmission. This combination is similar to that used in the Lincoln Continental, and generates 155 horsepower and 220 lb. ft. of torque at low rpm's to provide excellent maneuvering and driving qualities. This powertrain is managed by Ford's latest electronic engine control - EEC-V, which provides quicker response and smoother shifting in varying traffic and driving conditions.
CONCLUSIONS: In the Windstar Ford has developed one of the largest, quietest and well-equipped minivans that almost falls into the midivan class. The GL model provides combines functionality and economy along with comfort, performance and convenience.

We optimized TBS CleverBUSINESS™ for medium to larger businesses and to work very fast on a network for up to 10 concurrent users. Make no mistake this software leaves MYOB, Quicken and Sage in the shade and completely behind our high business standards for functionality, ease of use and use on a network. The network issue would be the single biggest problem with our competitors because they are much slower, were geared only for small business, and have lagged behind acceptable standards for years whereas TBS has been geared for speed, profit and management control.TBS Software has been in operation since 1986 supplying turnkey solutions to a vast range of businesses. Our other website www.tbssoftware.com.au Corporate heading - has details of some of the industries and products that we sell and have sold for over 27 years. From day one we provided solid software that did the accounting better than anyone else, handled customer price matrix far beyond our competitors and provided upgrades and modifications to suit various industries.
The program you will review: TBS CleverBUSINESS™ has all the traits of a full blown corporate system but made easier for the 99% of businesses that do not have 100+ terminals accessing mainframe solutions.Our products are network ready, work very fast on your personal workstation or as a client in a network in a client server format.
Our main thrust as a business was to build world class solutions for the medium business market. We wanted to have a core solution that only required minimal adjustment to add variations (specific modules) that satisfied the need of a particular industry but still provided the complete solution. There are many software solution providers that have created small 'front end' packages that did a few tasks but was never integrated, was never standard software and most often did not work as it should. We wanted and achieved the total control of a business from within 1 software package.We have watched the smaller end of the software market being abused by inferior products that are quite frankly abysmal on a network, where every upgrade provides a new angst for the business management and where the software just does not work the way business should. We come from a larger corporate methodology and have now weighed into this market. TBS has not previously dabbled in the mass software market, whilst we have been ready for some years, for fear of adulterating the market we normally work within, namely software within the realm of $20,000 to $200,000. Within the mass market there needs to be value and a price point to achieve success. TBS has more than enough of the value and performance to put us well ahead of any opposition on a worldwide scale, and we are prepared to meet our competition head-on.
The extra features found in TBS CleverBUSINESS™ add thousands of additional value to our purchase costOur network license will be 10 usersOur opposition generally has 3-5 users.
All things considered TBS is a very low price for a great product. Options within theTBS CleverBUSINESS™ product such as Job/Time Cards, Jobbing/Contract Management, Payroll, Business Plan, Contact Management are worth the cost of the software in their own right, and this is all provided as integrated sections within one of the most advanced invoicing, accounting and general business software products on the market.
