James Caan will hold you to your word. Roughly 40 minutes into Ernest R. Dickerson's silly 1996 action flick Bulletproof, yours truly came to the startling realization that this moderately entertaining Adam Sandler/Damon Wayans vehicle is, in fact, a cleverly disguised slice of softcore gay pornography.

7 ways to keep your name off the layoff list when the ax falls.By Donna Rosato, Money Magazine senior writerLast Updated: April 9, 2008: 6:32 AM EDT(Money Magazine) -- As surely as baseball heralds the spring, poor economic reports presage layoff season. According to Mercer Consulting, one in three midsize to large U.S. companies is pondering job freezes or downsizing. Besides the obvious no-no's - completing projects late, griping noisily about the boss - here are seven strategies for deflecting a pink slip.Add revenueA company's first layoffs are usually aimed at jobs that cost money (like public relations) rather than jobs that bring in money (like star salespeople). If you're in the first category, start thinking like someone in the second: Brainstorm ways to create new revenue streams

Here is one example about how to bulletproof the loops. This example holds well for legacy code and - of course - for hurry-written-code (that might be the current one, unfortunately). One of the most dangerous things I've seen are pieces of code that loop through object arrays and lists, same time expecting that array or list contains only correct elements. What do you think about ArrayList by example? Is it able to hold only those objects that are correct ones in current context or is ArrayList more powerful and can hold also incorrect objects? Well, I'm always very suspicious when I see ArrayList or IList on .Net 2.0 code. I always ask myself one question: isn't it possible to refactor this code so there is List<ImportantClass> instead of ArrayList or IList? If it is possible th

My friend, Candace Chellew-Hodge just came out with a book entitled, "Bulletproof Faith: A Spiritual Survival Guide for Gay and Lesbian Christians," that I wanted to suggest you purchase. Although I have yet to read it, I know her work quite well, and have been privileged to contribute articles to her excellent website, Whosoever, for many years. From teleconferences, interviews, and knowing her other writings, I'm confident that this book should be a superb addition to any library. I wanted to let you know about this book as soon as it appeared on the shelves, and I just got word this morning that it's now available. The book can be purchased here.

Sure to be admired by hardcore bicyclists for its ultra-lightweight and durable design, the Delta 7 Arantix weighs only 2.75 lbs thanks to the materials used to compose the bike. Made using a combination of see-through carbon fiber and Kevlar. The design and composition of the bike allows damage to only effect a specific area, whether than cause wear and tare for the whole bike. Priced at $6,995 for the frame and $11,995 for the full bike, the ultra-lightweight and equally expensive Delta 7 Arantix is not for the amateur biker, but for the bicyclists that thrives on a luxury vehicle.

At an old abandoned section of the city's subway stands a mobile trailer which serves as a laboratory of an evil scientist known as Dr. BadVibes, who, along with his robot sidekick Buzzbomb, engages in working on another invention to help Big Boss commit another crime. BadVibes: "How's it coming with the vac-mobile, Buzzbomb?" Buzzbomb: *brackets translating Buzzbomb's robot dialect* [Almost finished, sir.] BadVibes: "Excellent. Soon all of the icky, filthy money will be removed from The Bank of The People in one clean sweep!" Berserko: *barging in* "Hey, Dr. BadVibes! Ya gotta help me!" BadVibes: "Berserko! What are you doing running around in your underwear and what's with that broken stringed violin?" Berserko: "I wanna get some strings to fix this here violin Uncle Big Boss wants to

No other instrument in the world compares to the harp, one of the most oldest musical instruments in world history. Its heavenly, ringing sound have brought pleasure and joy to millions of people for thousands of years from the grand palaces in Egypt to the towering castles in Ireland. Its ancestry can be traced to the bow, one of the most ancient of weapons which can produce a pleasant, ringing sound by the pluck of the string. An early hunter must have been inspired by the sound the bow makes when an arrow is shot from it. While experimenting with the bow, he gathered a few additional strings and put them on the bow's framework. Then, he plucked them and found that the short string can create a much higher pitch than the longer string. The longer strings create deep pitched sounds, the s

But first things first-- after getting themselves down from the light post, LongArm and Hardtop radio Bulletproof and Mainframe to report about what happened at the Melody Tunes store.LongArm: "..and just after we got ourselves out of the piano, the piano crashed itself into the brick wall, shattering into many pieces. If it weren't for some quick thinking, we would've been goners by now."Bulletproof: "Any leads?"Hardtop: "Not unless you count those 2 crooks searching for Berserko as leads. They said they're looking for Berserko to confront him over the issue of the stolen violin. "Mainframe: "What did they say?"Hardtop: "They said he broke all 4 of its strings in a careless matter. My guess is that he wanted that violin for himself, or perhaps Big boss wanted the violin so he can make his nephew play it, but I doubt that's the case. All we know is that Berserko somehow must've broken the strings of the violin while playing it and Rock Krusher and Ms. Demeanor is being sent to ste

Meanwhile back at the precinct, LongArm and Hardtop are observing the map of the city.Hardtop: "It was right at this point where we were stopped by that large oversized truck. If it weren't for that long slowpoke-of-a-vehicle, we would've have them by now."LongArm: "That violin is highly valuable. Big Boss must have wanted the violin in order to either learn how to play it or sell it for a fortune."Bulletproof: "Especially since the violin is worth $15,000,000. Thus far, we don't know for sure why the crooks took the violin. But I suspect Big Boss must be planning on selling it for the exact amount the violin is worth. Mainframe, see if there's any auction happenings in the coming weeks that could lead us to the violin and the thieves who stole it."Mainframe: "I'm on it." *types on the PC to reveal no auctions being schedule soon* "Nope. Negative. No auctions being held any time soon. Even for this month."LongArm: "That figures. At least it leads to only one thing -- Big Boss stol

With sirens screaming in the air, Hardtop and LongArm relentlessly pursue the crooks along the highway. It didn't take long for the chase to immediately grew very intense as the Crooks tries desperately to elude the C.O.P.S. as they zoom down the road while crashing cars along the way. Huge pile-ups littered the roads but that doesn't stop Hardtop from skillfully pivoting the car around the pile-ups while keeping himself and LongArm in sight of the 4 crooks. But suddenly, a large truck carrying a long oversize load came out of nowhere and pull out in front of the C.O.P.S.LongArm: "Gasp! Watch out!"Hardtop: "Whoa!!"Instantly Hardtop slams on the brakes and made a u-turn to bring the police car to a screeching halt right next to the truck as it slowly passes by. Thus, preventing a huge accidental collision.Krusher: "*looking in the rear-view mirror* That truck'll hold them off for awhile."Ms Demeanor: "*looking back* My, my, my that's the longest truckload I ever seen."Turbo: "Yeah.

Bulletproof: "Whitney Morgan, this is LadyHarp. My own personal harp."Whitney: "*feeling enthralled by the instrument* She's beautiful!"Bulletproof: "Very unique isn't she?"Whitney walks over for a closer look.Whitney: "She even got a C.O.P.S. badge on her."Bulletproof: "I had her custom made to bore the badge proudly. My musical companion and partner will serve the C.O.P.S. unit as our official mascot, providing us with music through my hands while on break from my work."Whitney: "Where in the world did you get this one-of-a-kind harp?"Bulletproof: "I purchased her from Empire Harps, a newly opened harp outlet best known for selling the world's most well built, elegant, and gorgeously sounded harps. I'm now taking harp lessons at that place. Soon, I'll play just as good as anybody else who skillfully play this wonderful instrument."Beamer: "So this is a harp Ms. Morgan has talked about. I heard it makes a beautiful sound."Bulletproof: "It does. As a matter of fact, why don't I s

The Case of The Bulletproof HarpistC.O.P.S File #816022Many people, who decided to play a musical instrument, chose to either play the piano, violin, trumpet, drums, guitar, or the flute. I, Bulletproof Vess, have too decided to play an instrument. An instrument sent from Heaven above. Here's how the caper came down."Whitney Morgan here, giving you the latest scoop on what's happening in Empire City."Right at this moment, I'm standing in front of the famous 647th Precinct,…..where, everyday, these brave men and women, who made up C.O.P.S., loyally serve this great city of ours. As always, they are proud to do their duty to keep the streets of Empire City completely safe from crime - Hey! Am I seeing things or is that a trail of musical notes coming out of the precinct window?"Whitney walks closer to the building. Then she pause for a momentWhitney: "Listen, Beamer.

For starters let me introduce to you my all time favorite C.O.P.S. Character who is none other than-- Bulletproof.Federal Agent Baldwin P. Vess (C.O.P.S. Codename: Bulletproof), according to the comic adaptation, was born and raised in Washington DC before joining the ranks of the FBI and becoming a federal agent like no other. Incredibly gifted in solving the most difficult of capers and bringing to justice the most wanted of criminals, Bulletproof was the man to turn to when there is a certain crimeboss and his army of crooked lackeys running rampart in a large megalopolis that has the worst record of law enforcement and the highest rate of crime around.Empire city. Population: Too many crooks and a few policemen! A place where everything is at the beck and call of a powerful crimelord known as Brandon Babel (Alias: The Big Boss). Everything the city tried to take out the crooks has failed and many officers who have boldly faced the Big Boss never lived to tell about it, which is why

Book DescriptionNo matter how visually appealing or packed with content your Web site is, it isn’t succeeding if it’s not reaching the widest possible audience.If you get this guide, you can be assured it will! By deconstructing a series of real-world Web sites, author and Web designer extraordinaire Dan Cederholm outlines 10 strategies for creating standards-based designs that provide flexibility, readability, and user control—key components of every successful Web site.Each chapter starts out with an example of what Dan refers to as an "unbulletproof" concept—an existing site that employs a traditional approach and its associated pitfalls.Dan then deconstructs that approach, noting its downsides and then making the site over using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).By the end of each chapter, you’ll have replaced traditional, bloated, inaccessible page components with lean markup and CSS.The guide culminates with a chapter that pieces together all of the page components discussed

Today, I’m heading out to buy school supplies. In Saskatchewan, students head back to school next week and I, unlike all those Alpha-Moms out there, take pride in not having the school supplies purchased, labeled and inventoried by July 17th. No, I prefer the last minute rush, duking it out with other moms like me who know that tending to this duty prior to the real end of summer only leads to the total ruination of summer itself! Shut up. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. I came across one item that I’m just not sure any of my kids will need. My Child’s Pack From this article by Mike Underwood at BostonHerald.com: “The backpacks, which will cost $175, have a super-lightweight bullet-proof plate sewn into the back which weighs no more than a bottle of water. Pelonzi said the material used is a secret.The plate material meets National Institute of Justice safety standards, said Pelonzi, and during a three-year testing phase, stood up to bull

A bulletproof backpack for school children, yeah, this is true! We know violent incidents could happen; we have some examples in Unites States. A company from Massachusetts MJ Safety Solutions has come up with an innovative solution. It's called the "My Child's Pack", a lightweight, unobtrusive nylon backpack that features a ballistic back panel effective in stopping 97% of the most commonly used bullets, even rifle shots. The backpack acts much like the bulletproof vests police use, yet weighs one twentieth as much.Source & Image:inventorspot

*In an older blog post, Bullseye explains how the restricted area, Bulletproof and Mainframe’s Private gym, is set up and operated.* According to Bulletproof and Mainframe’s last bag count they are up to over 147 bags that dotted much of the areas of the gym. 14 rows of over 77 hanging bags, 11 floor bags, and 11 reflex bags cover much of the gym. One row of 10 double ends are in the very back of the gym, including 2 very large ball and chain double ends, One row of 5 wall targets and 5 slip balls arranged in non-overlapping rows stretched from the entrance of the hallway to the middle and one more row of 10 double ends, some Mexican style, stretched from the middle wall to the bathroom entrance; all located in the left side of the gym, One row of 10 speedbags dotted the front wall next to the hallway entrance, And in the bathroom, there are 2 headache bags one each hanging from 2 shower faucets in the shower, 2 slipballs over the urinals, and 2 speedballs in the bathr

*Bullseye continues to explain Bulletproof and Mainframe’s private gym on his blog* Need I say more? Their private gym also has a drinking fountain and an intercom system used to call them both back into duty when especially there’s another criminal caper flaring up for the umpteenth time. The gym is to be 100% private. TVs, Radios, PCs, photo cameras, video recorders, and firearms, alcohol, cigarettes and other drugs, and especially peeping toms are strictly prohibited and above all - mandatory abstinence is entirely condoned and actively enforced! None of them is willing to find themselves having babies and AIDS and I don’t blame them one bit. Now you guys has got to wonder, How do I know all this? Because I helped them set up that gym in the large basement room once served as an old ballet classroom at a very old building at one time served as a ballet school building of some sort before it was demolished and replaced with the 647th precinct that still stands to t

(Continued from previous post…) The ears of the Big Boss is always open. One word of interest leads the crooks to another opportunity to plan their next wave of crime - even beyond Empire City. Somehow, Big Boss must have heard from his trusted spies that I and my team are going to Chicago and bring back to Empire City, a beautiful harp that will bring joy to all of us. So, he ordered his thugs to follow us to Chicago, put a damper on our excursion, and seize the harp for himself (Either he wants to get his hands on it and play on it for himself or have Squeeky Kleen play the harp for him since he’s much gentler on the strings than Big Boss, it doesn’t matter. My harp must be rescued and the crooks be stopped!). They did just that….or so they thought. They has just pulled 2 major heists on 2 major harp factories and are making their way to the airport with the stolen harps right at this moment. When they arrived at the airport, they parked their vehicles rig

Hardtop: "Sorry, gang but I can’t help it! Blitz is going real fast and I got to keep up with him in order to help him catch those crooks!"
