"One Answer to a Great Puzzler"
Well worth a listen if you are also wondering how to solve these puzzling problems. Why is it so hard to keep it all going? Why do I feel like things are going in too many directions? How can I get off the merry go round? The author provides one solution that's a great one if you can focus your life on your church community. Either way, it's helpful to hear the author probe these questions in order to gain some clarity on difficult choices.
"Written For the Choir"
Written by a minister and drawing extensively from the Bible, it sounds like one long sermon. I didn't find this very helpful at all.

True, it will be interesting to watch she already has a fairly wealthy man under her spell so she already has a leg up in terms of resources especially when it seems nearly all the Heroes come from humble origins; only the Summer and Autumn seem to come from a well off family. Paul is practically homeless haha
Vixen: Already? Yikes the Heroes job is already a bit tougher than I'd thought if she controls ALL the banks and police, wouldn't it be a bit more realistic if she just has contacts that keep her "misdoings" of the record, so to speak? Gotta give the Heroes at least the appearance of a fighting chance lol Especially with all the new villains popping up.
yea, true, I cant make her too powerful, influence wise.. I think if she needed money she would call the bank or show up in person, hypnotize them quickly enough to give her a loan for a few million then lose the paper work.. of course she does not care about anybody else but herself, so she could care less about what happen to the loan officer...
Nik:mmhmm... more threats to Hypnotica's plans of domination. tell me, where does Gen. Wraith's army sleep??
Vixen: Already? Yikes the Heroes job is already a bit tougher than I'd thought if she controls ALL the banks and police, wouldn't it be a bit more realistic if she just has contacts that keep her "misdoings" of the record, so to speak? Gotta give the Heroes at least the appearance of a fighting chance lol Especially with all the new villains popping up.nik: Looks good nik, so I N can make 10 metal soldiers AND 4 metal golems or is one or the other? If you made it 5 golems you could do things as interchangeable (i.e 2 soldiers=1 golem and so forth anf then mix and match them as the situation dictates.
Cool, I don't mean to make you adjust your character I was more thinking just to keep things simple for everyone else to figure out what he can and can't do.Seem the story is moving along great btw nikJust another GM-type suggestion to make sure this stays Non-Adult would be to post the do and don't in this RP somewhere like at the start of this thread so that if anybody new joins they realize that its a PG-13 RP and not the typical E one. Like I said just a thought, to avoid any awkwardness with a "naughty" post lol
lolI we should link this thread to that thread and have Nik come up with some guide-lines. the character profiles go here, so the rules should be here too ^^welp, I'm out for a while, loves. I hope to see you all soon.. byes.
Before I throw myself into the fray, does anyone have a problem with my character?
I'm having a little trouble keeping up with the group thread, but I made a spin-off one for Summer and Autumn, if anyone would be interested in playing? http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=89031.0They're about to embark on blind dates, so if someone wants to make two dates, or two people want to make one date each, that's cool with me. I'd really love to have more smaller group roleplay with these characters! It just seems I can't handle a group thread as big as the main one has become. :p
Im really sorry about that Boudicca, i did not actually believe i would get this many people at once, soon enough i will branch it to different sections.
personally I'm trying to think of a superhero but I'm drawing a blank.. not too good at playing male vs females for some reason...
Sorry mine's too young for you. But I've been wanting to play this character and it was non-adult so...

After years of being relegated to uses as a soup green or worse, a plate garnish, kale has made a stunning comeback in the past few years. Darling of the dietary world, it frequently ranks near or at the top of the best foods for optimal nutritional impact and is thus often referred to as a "superfood." Two new cookbooks focus on ways to use kale to maximum effect. The more no-nonsense of the pair, Kale: The Complete Guide to the World's Most Powerful Superfood by Stephanie Pedersen, contains over 70 recipes divided into categories such as beverages, ways to incorporate kale into breakfast, lunch, snacks and even desserts that feature this bittersweet green. A helpful introductory section covers the types of the vegetable, techniques for selecting kale and its many nutritional benefits.
A more whimsical but no less informative cookbook is Fifty Shades of Kale: 50 Fresh and Satisfying Recipes That Are Bound to Please by Drew Ramsey and Jennifer Iserloh. Beautiful photographs of the many varieties of kale and the mouthwatering recipes themselves add to the allure. Mild winks to the book series the title references are included, but do not get in the way of the text or food. Appealing ideas such as kale and kiwi gazpacho; a warm kale salad with beets and ginger; and even chocolate chip kale cookies incorporate this newly rediscovered gem into contemporary recipes. One of the resources listed at the close of the book, thekaleproject.com, contains more recipes and assorted information to satisfy your "green tooth."

What's he doubling down though? That term implies some stakes are being allocated.
It goes on to say he doesn't think the desktop is a kernel problem. Well, that kind of means he's not spending specific resources on desktop, which means that wanting the desktop doesn't contradict "doubling down" on the device market.
The actual part of the article that talks about investing is when he talked about shrinking Linux and about addressing the embedded market.
Packaging is a very big achievement. Even Android use packaging with APK file. Really, packaging is not the problem. I remember systems before packaging, this was a nightmare. Never return to this hell...
The problem is to have popular tools able to build and publish proper *.deb package as easy as for *.apk packages. For example a good IDE where you find a "new C++ Debian package" button (and others language option of course), fill a simple form and start coding your application from a functional template. Then a "build" button should create the *.deb package and you should be able to debug it. The IDE should have a "Add Debian repository" button with a simple form to create a remote Debian repository using FTP or SSH. Finally the IDE should be able to publish your packages in your remote repository. Like for Android, the IDE should be able to build package compatible with a choice of releases.
From my point of view, the packaging is not the problem. The lack of competitive developers tools advancement in the Linux distribution compared to Android is in my opinion far more the root cause if the problem. While structured very differently, *.deb and *.apk packages target almost the same goals from the system and user point of view.
The situation in creating and publishing *.deb package is actually like if you create and publish *.apk packages all by hand using a lot of command line, instead of a easy and shiny IDE.
Feeding the shill/troll here...
Linux is was not, and is not meant to be anything but a hobby OS for someones spare time, or a companies spare time that they can develop a UI for and deploy their own flavors (android, Red Hat, Ubuntu, etc.) Linux is far too complicated for the everyday user to understand. Even something as simple as entering a static IP address sometimes requires going back to the terminal windows (command prompt) and setting it the hard way. And THAT's the problem with Linux! It was never meant to be a GUI OS just like it's parent, UNIX.
That's why desktop users use Ubuntu.
1 - Open network meny by clicking network indicator at the top bar of the desktop
2 - Choose "edit connections"
3 - Choose the connection you want to edit - click "edit"
4 - Click "IPv4 settings"
5 - Change IP
Please, remind me how that's done in windows 8.1. Feel free to explain differences with windows 8, 7 , XP.
The drivers for Linux SUCK and that's because it's an open source OS and there's no one "single" distro.
Just like any other OS. Supported hardware works, and in this case, backwards compatibility is maintained. Unsupported hardware, shockingly, doesn't work.
The difference is that Linux desktop comes running out of the box.
I had to use Windows 7 the other day for the first time in 6 months, repairing someone's failed Windows Update.
After the system was all cleaned up, I clicked the login button. And waited. And waited. And waited. And watched the disk drive light flicker like nobody's business. And waited. All those "essential" accessories starting up, disk scans, mysterious machine-eating magic, all shouldering themselves between me and being able to do anything.
I'm not in love with the current crop of Linux desktops, but at least I can begin using the bloody things within a few seconds of logging on.
So what you are saying is that NVIDIA and ATI don't release closed source binary-only drivers? I wonder what this whole tainted kernel thing is about then?
I wrote a FUSE driver for a toy fs in Linux a VFS driver to do the same thing in kernel-space, and it's funny, I don't remember getting cooperation "from the " whole "Linux kernel team". Apparently Basil Brush and hairyfeet are involved in anti-Linux FUD.
In Linux, there is no ABI. Drivers have to be accepted and included in the kernel source tree. Yes really. It's that fucked up.
This is complete BS. Drivers can be delivered as source and built on the target machine or as binaries with the appropriate packageing. For example, drivers can be delivered like the
ElRepo kABI-tracking kmods [elrepo.org] (this includes such things as the Nvidia drivers), or installed via DKMS.
What is true however is that, without an open-source shim layer, drivers have to be delivered as source, which some closed-source bigots hate.
Linus can talk about "wanting the desktop" all he wants, but the sad fact is Linux will NEVER own the desktop.
As big of a piece of shit as Windows 8 is, [insert Linux distro here] is worse in many ways. I've been trying to give this OS the benefit of the doubt for decades and these people still find ways to fuck everything up. Don't even get me started on Linux Mint. I had version 15 installed on my netbook, and went to install some programs recently through the package manager. Kept getting a bunch of "file not found" errors. Turns out that Mint, in their INFINITE GENIUS, decided to base their distro on Ubuntu's package repository. And guess what Ubuntu did, when the idiotically short "support period" for that version ("Faggotry Falcon" or "Idiotic Ibis" or some other cutesy name, can't remember which) expired? They just ALL of those fucking package files off their server! So guess what my only solution is if I ever want to update this OS or even install a fucking application from the repository? I get to wipe the hard drive and reinstall something else.
Are you fucking kidding me? This is what I should expect and be happy with in glorious and amazing 2014? Wait, don't answer that--of course you're serious. This is just ONE example among countless others of how the Linux community's head is collectively shoved up its own asshole. ONE example or thousands. But try going to some IRC channel and being upset or enraged about the status quo, if you dare; they will give you excuse after excuse why it has to be this way, and here's some workarounds to try, just type [insert bullshit here] into the command line and edit [this fucking file] and wave a magic wand and tap your heels together and that's all you have to do. Still upset at the idiocy of it all? You'll be mocked and flamed and ridiculed and kicked off, told you are unworthy of Linux and should just go back to Windows.
So go ahead assholes, just keep on dreaming about being the choice for desktop computing. It will never happen, as long as you continue releasing such PIECES OF SHIT, deluding yourselves into believing it's gold and being oh so confused as to why nobody is interested in installing your PILE OF SHIT.
Genius is ten percent inspiration and fifty percent capital gains.

Study Authors Claim NASA Used Moon Landing To Create A Vision Of The Future That Never Happened
redOrbit Staff & Wire Reports - Your Universe Online
While the Apollo 11 moon landing is remembered as a landmark moment in space travel, a new study by three UK professors suggests that it is not the events themselves, but rather a carefully crafted set of images used by NASA to promote a future of sci-fi heroism that most people recall of the event.In their paper, which has been published by the International Journal of Management Concepts and Philosophy, University of Leicester School of Management professors Steve Brown and Martin Parker, as well as Dr. Lewis Goodings of the University of Roehampton, explained that they set out to "explore the gap between the colossal project of managing the visual representation of the space program" by NASA officials during the second half of the 20th century and "what remains of that project now in terms of the complex, mediated series of images that serve as objects of recollection."
Most people look back on the 1969 moon landing as an exciting and important turning point in history, as well as an event that continues to inspire space exploration projects in the modern era. However, the report penned by Brown, Parker and Goodings asserts that NASA manipulated images from the landing to create a narrative of its own importance for the future, the University of Leicester said Friday in a statement.
"The academics claim NASA carefully selected footage to present Neil Armstrong and his fellow astronauts as pioneering 'cowboys' supported by 'technological efficiency,'" the university added. "NASA's shots of the astronauts walking purposefully towards the launch bay – repeated regularly in TV coverage of the landing – were carefully crafted to mimic the slow walk of Cowboys in the cinematic tradition of Westerns, they argue."
The study authors went on to compare NASA's claim to historical importance to that of Walt Disney Productions, and said that repeating images from the moon landing helped "premeditate" the notion that it represented the future. They also contrasted that notion with the actual progression of space travel, which only saw five additional manned missions to the lunar surface – none of which occurred after 1972.
"The images that constitute the majority of the memories of moon landings come from a relatively small field. For example, the Earthrise photo taken from Apollo 8, Neil Armstrong climbing down the ladder of the Eagle lunar module, the astronauts experiencing weightlessness, or the moments where the space travelers finally returned to Earth," Brown, Parker and Goodings wrote. "Each of these events were carefully managed at the time by NASA as part of the process of mediatizing the moon landings – of ensuring that a narrative of individual heroism supported by technological/organizational efficiency would be central to public understanding of the Apollo program."
The iconic nature of the images was strengthened by the number of times that they were repeated across both broadcast and print media, they said. As mediatized images (and consequently, the narrative they are being used to create) are repeated over and over in different forms, they become interconnected with one another.
"For example, the famous images of astronauts dressed in their bulky protective suits walking towards the launch bay was repeated in the television programming for the majority of NASA launches, and subsequently became the key visual motif for the film of Tom Wolfe's book about the first Mercury spaceflights, The Right Stuff," the authors wrote. "But the image itself deliberately references the slow walk of Cowboys in the cinematic tradition of Westerns, who are usually depicted at the beginning of a long journey to the 'Wild Frontier'."
"This remediation also invokes the television reimagining of the popular Western show Wagon Train as the science fiction of Star Trek. Each successive remediation refers back to the previous as it hops across medial forms and genres to drive home an overarching heroic – and deeply sedimented – narrative of 'boldly going' into the great unknown," they added. It also helped ensure the space agency would continue to receive funding from Congress, due to the perception that they were completing important work necessary for the future.
As part of their research, the three UK professors also analyzed over 400 "memory cards" that had been left by visitors to the National Space Center. Each of those cards contained one person's recollection about the moon landing and the 1960s. Brown, Parker and Goodings reported that approximately half of those cards included some type of reference to the moon landing as a peek into a future which never actually came about.
"This research highlights the intersections between our personal experiences of the event and the particular version of the past that is given to us through the media and other sources," Dr. Goodings said in a statement. "I recall that one memory card recalled the moon landing as 'a really exciting event that seemed to open an exciting and modern era' and then added that this era was 'so quickly lost'. I feel that is a good example of the coming together of the NASA-inspired image of the moon landing and the actual experience of very little changing."

Can Iowa Overcome the Adversity of the Sports Illustrated Jinx?November 4, 2009
For the superstitious person, Iowa's season just got a little crazier.
The Hawkeyes appear on the cover of the Midwest edition of Sports Illustrated this week. The SI cover shows wide receiver Derrell Johnson-Koulianos hurdling fullback Wade Leppert in last Saturday's 42-24 come-from-behind victory over Indiana.
The majority of sports fans might consider the cover appearance an honor. For those who watch sports from a different angle, like myself, this is more like the kiss of death.
And it's freakin' me out!
Millions of superstitious fans and athletes believe that an appearance on SI's cover is a jinx; a type of curse placed on a person or a team that makes them pray for minor misfortunes and bad luck.
To make things scarier, Kirk Ferentz might actually believe in the curse, himself. "You've got to be kidding me?" Ferentz was quoted in as saying in the Cedar Rapids Gazette. "We're on the cover? Isn't the World Series going on right now?"
For years, one of the most popular sports magazines ever has been blamed for several player, coach, and team misfortunes. College football, soccer, professional basketball, Olympic ping pong...no sport is safe from the horrible fate-changing curse.
Need a few examples before you buy in?
In 2007, Michigan's Mike Hart appeared on the cover with the headline "The Big Run for Number 1." Michigan's first game after the cover resulted in a loss to 1-AA Appalachian State.
Desmond Howard made the cover of SI in 1991 after beating Notre Dame. The next game, the Wolverines lost by 20 to Florida State.
And those examples are just for college football.
The Kansas City Chiefs won their first nine games of the season in 2003. They appeared on the cover of SI with the headline, "The Chiefs Perfect (So Far)." That weekend, they lost to the Cincinnati Bengals.
It's not just isolated football, either.
In June of 2000, a day after Anna Kournikova's appearance on the cover, she lost her match at the French Open in the second round, the earliest she had ever exited a Grand Slam.
In the month following Nike CEO Phil Knight's cover appearance in 1993, Nike's six-year streak of record earnings ended, its stock tanked, numerous lay offs, and 37 high school players who participated in Nike's hospitality find their eligibility imperiled.
Sports Illustrated actually conducted a study of sorts on this. In 2002, Alexander Wold wrote a piece, "Unraveling the Jinx." The article included more than 50 examples of the paranormal occurrences.
I could go on for days about examples of the bad luck caused by this jinx. But, the more I read and research, the more I freak out.
Why are this doing this to the Hawkeyes? Hasn't our season been stressful enough already? Are they trying to make me the youngest person ever to die of a heart attack?
Petrified is a great word to describe the feeling I now have for Saturday's game against the Wildcats. The stress was already mounting, as the Hawkeyes have had a difficult time with the Wildcats under Kirk Ferentz. The last two times Northwestern has entered Kinnick Stadium, they beat Iowa. There wasn't a need to add in the stress of a jinx, too.
There are people around the country who have it in for the Hawkeyes for whatever reason. They say Iowa is only winning because of luck, or beneficial officiating.
Maybe the SI jinx is a way to combat the luck.
Of course, then logic enters, begging me to wonder if there really is such a thing as the SI jinx? Do the powers that be at Sports Illustrated really have the ability to tempt and change fate?
It's doubtful.
While the examples of the jinx may be plentiful, the cover hasn't seemed to hinder Michael Jordan, or Vince Young. Jordan has appeared on the cover 50 times. Young appeared on the cover twice during the year Texas won the National Championship.
There has even been speculation that the Madden Curse has taken over the Sports Illustrated Jinx.
It is unclear what effect the SI cover will have on the Hawkeyes, if any. Being familiar with Ferentz, I suspect this jinx will have no impact on Saturday's game.
Nevertheless, I need to do something to protect my Hawkeyes from this hex. My heart wants to jump out of my chest, so I need to take drastic action.
As such, I have asked Jobu to pay a visit, and take the fear from the Hawkeyes. I offered Jobu a cigar and rum. He will come and help keep the Hawkeyes undefeated.
I just hope someone reminds Sports Illustrated , "Is very bad to steal Jobu's rum. Is very bad. "

Following are Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's Remarks as Delivered Tonight
Images of the Mayor calling into the press conference are available at http://www.flickr.com/photos/nycmayorsoffice/
Video of the Mayor's remarks has been fed on switch port CTY-3 and will be re-fed at 7:15 PM
"David, thank you. Mylan, thank you. Let me first start out by saying I want to thank the Governor for signing this bill that will benefit millions of New York City residents and people that come to visit our city.
"I think no one thought we'd ever get this done, but I kept saying and the Governor kept saying this is going to happen. We never gave up. We never stop working and making the case. The Assembly and the Senate and the Governor's Office and the City Administration all working together. So I just wanted to thank everyone that helped get us across the finish line.
"As David said, this process really began last January when we announced that our Administration would seek to achieve a goal that really has eluded the City for three decades - bringing legal taxi service to the seven million New Yorkers who live outside Manhattan's central business district.
"And today, together the City and the State, we have achieved that landmark goal. And it's a huge victory for all New Yorkers who ever sought to hail a cab outside Manhattan and in northern Manhattan.
"The new law will make getting around town easier, safer and less costly for millions of New Yorkers. It will make an enormous improvement in the getting of service for people with disabilities that need to have the ability to get around. Mass transit is a basic of any big city, and this will make it much more available to everybody.
"And I think, in all fairness, it is a testament to Matt Sapolin, former late Commissioner of the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities. This is part of his life's work, and I got to believe that Matt is looking down right now with a big smile on his face.
"It will also bring thousands of hard-working livery drivers - many of them immigrants - out of the shadows and into the legal economy. This will benefit both drivers, but also taxpayers and subway riders, because the new taxis - like all current taxis - will generate revenue that is dedicated to the MTA.
"The new law and the agreement reached today will also generate a much needed billion-odd dollars in revenue for the City through the sale of 2,000 new yellow medallions, all of which, as David or as Mylan said, will be wheelchair accessible. In fact, today's agreement, by increasing the number of medallions sold by 500, will provide even more revenue for the City than the original bill passed in June.
"So let me once again thank Governor Cuomo for his support. From day one, the Governor and I kept saying it is going to get done. We each have our own constituencies to make sure their concerns are taken care of. We've done that.
"I also wanted to thank Majority Leader Skelos and Speaker Silver for their strong leadership. And I want to thank their counsels, Mylan Denerstein, Diane Burman and Jim Yates for their enormous amount of hard work, and for their close collaboration with our team at City Hall.
"And also a special thanks to the Chair of the Assembly Cities Committee, Carl Heastie, as well as Assemblymen Karim Camara and Guillermo Linares. Thanks to their leadership in taking on this challenge in partnership with the City's Taxi and Limousine Commission Chair David Yassky, Deputy Mayor Howard Wolfson, and our Director of State Legislative Affairs, Micah Lasher.
"I think it's fair to say the long quest for five borough taxi service will soon be a reality, and it will positively impact our city's quality of life for decades to come.
"So both the Governor and I are going to have big smiles on our faces tonight. This is something that, as I said, three decades in the making, but tonight it is getting done. So thank you. Governor, all to you, and once again, I'm heading off to light the world's tallest menorah, but thank you for signing the bill."

Investment will develop and foster business ventures
CAMBRIDGE BAY, NU, May 6, 2016 /CNW/ - Today, the Honourable Minister Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science, and Economic Development and Minister Responsible for the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency, announced an investment to the Kitikmeot Community Futures Inc.

Access to this loan capital helps create jobs and grow the economy in sectors including construction, tourism, fisheries and wildlife, retail, and professional services.
Small and medium-sized businesses in the community of Cambridge Bay and others in the Kitikmeot region are seeing potential opportunities with increased development in the region. This investment enables the KCFI to meet the increasing demand for loans to Nunavut businesses in the region. Businesses may apply for loans directly to KCFI and, if eligible, receive repayable loans to advance their business development objectives.

With their knowledge and experience KCFI can assist in creating and growing these kinds of businesses in the Kitikmeot region, leading to new job opportunities and economic growth."

Hunter Tootoo, Member of Parliament for Nunavut
"This timely investment is essential in our ability to continue to support businesses in the Kitikmeot Region.

text: Hello. I recently got asked to do a job photographing 7 or 8 locations for a company that I have done some work for in NYC. This work would be done for their office in Georgia. I need to give them a price quote for 2 days of shooting. They are paying for the flight and hotel and someone is driving me around, so I don't need to add that into the cost. I have all the equipment that I need. So could anyone suggest some good rates. I am new at this and when they sit there and tell me "if you charge too much we won't do it," then I worry since I need the work. But I don't need to sell myself short. Any suggestions? I know I need to factor in my shooting time, post production time, cost to get to and from the airport, meals. Any thoughts would be helpful. The photos will be used for promotion, advertising and website. Thanks.

Residents are being urged to register their valuables on a national website.
Immobilise is the world's largest property register and allows police and the public to work together to make stolen items too hot to handle.
Residents can enter the details of their possessions on the free website and report when they have been stolen.
Police officers not just in Sussex but around the UK can then check the details of items that they find or seize against the database
By confirming the seized items had been stolen, officers can then look to prosecute whoever they were seized from for burglary or handling stolen goods and can return the valuables to their rightful owners.
Sussex Police is encouraging residents to use Immobilise as part of Operation Magpie, the force's crackdown on burglary across the county.
Detective chief inspector Paul Betts said: "When our officers respond to reports of burglary, they often cannot get enough detailed information about the items which have been stolen - without old boxes for electrical items or photographs of jewellery. It can be very difficult to accurately identify what has been taken. Better information greatly increases the chances of us being able to reunite stolen property with its rightful owner, helps us to get a better picture of which burglaries could be linked and gives us the evidence we need to prove that property is stolen. That helps us to link items to burglars and those trading in stolen goods."
25 million people use Immobilise and every week hundreds of people are reunited with their lost or stolen property because of the site. To register your property in just a few minutes by visiting www.immobilise.com.

Retailer awards more than $120,000 in bursaries to 54 students across the country
MISSISSAUGA, ON, Aug. 12, 2014 /CNW/ - Walmart Canada announced today it has awarded a total of $124,000 in bursaries to 54 students across Canada through the Walmart Canada Scholarship program.

The NSPCC is calling on schools to get number crunching for its Number Day 2011, by taking part in the biggest ever maths lesson on Friday, December 2 in aid of the charity's ChildLine service.
Number Day 2011 is a great way to have fun with numbers. Last year's Number Day broke the Guinness World Record for the largest maths lesson held in multiple locations with 4076 pupils and 30 schools taking part, which raised over £70k for ChildLine – a record the charity are looking to beat this year to celebrate ChildLine's 25th anniversary.
Schools can either take part in the World's Biggest Maths Lesson on Number Day where children can explore learning with numbers, or there are other popular fundraising activities for kids to enjo.
Alternatively schools could do something different with digits and come up with their own fundraising event to celebrate numbers on Number Day.
To sign up for Number Day 2011 and for more information please visit www.nspcc.org.uk/numberday where all curriculum based maths resources can be downloaded or alternatively email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Kate Hudson, NSPCC schools fundraising manager, said: "Number Day is open to all primary and secondary schools across the UK, and is a fantastic, fun way to get children of all ages engaged with maths.
"We'd love as many schools as possible to get involved, whether you take part in the NSPCC's biggest maths lesson, or choose another number crunching activity of your own, as long as you're doing sums on Number Day you could be involved in helping us raise a record amount for children."
Schools who register to take part will be entered into an exciting prize draw for the chance to win £1,000 towards maths equipment, kindly donated by Vosene Kids.
Money raised will support ChildLine, the UK's free 24 hour helpline for children and young people in danger or distress.
For further ways of supporting ChildLine locally please visit www.nspcc.org.uk.

Two Senate lawmakers urged President Obama to provide them with a new—but long overdue—report on the FBI's whistleblower protection efforts.
Two Senate lawmakers urged President Obama to provide them with a new—but long overdue—report on the FBI's whistleblower protection efforts.
As part of his Oct. 10, 2012, Presidential Policy Directive 19 (PPD 19),"Protecting Whistleblowers with Access to Classified Information," the president gave the attorney general 180 days to send him a report on the issue. But the report was not delivered to his office until June 2014, more than a year after the deadline.
And now Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) want to see the report as well.
"The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is currently studying the effectiveness of the Justice Department's mechanism for investigating retaliation in the FBI," the senators told the president in an Aug. 12 letter. "In addition to having the findings of the GAO study, Congress also needs to know what the Attorney General's review found so that we may be fully informed before considering any legislation related to this topic. Therefore, we respectfully request a copy of the Attorney General's recent report."
"The FBI has had special rules for its own employees for decades that desperately need to be updated," Wyden said in a statement. "It's important for the Justice Department to explain whether they will fix this on their own, or if Congress needs to step in."
"The FBI has a history of whistleblower retaliation, often shunning whistleblowers to basement offices without cause and giving them little or no work," Grassley said in a statement. "It's disturbing to see the trend continue in the most recent allegations of a new retaliation method called Loss of Effectiveness orders being used against whistleblowers at the agency. The mentality at the FBI has to change if waste, fraud and abuse are ever to be rooted out of the agency."
I agree that the mentality of the FBI needs to change... however, that is true across government. Let's not forget the NSA and their free wheeling approach to spying on anyone anywhere; let's not forget the arrogant abuse of power by the IRS and their continued thumbing of their noses at Congress; let's not forget Eric Holder's abuse of power; and the list continues. The FBI is but one of many abuses of authority and power that will continue until Congress grows a backbone and holds people accountable for their actions. As Congress is spineless and impotent, don't expect much more than lip service from our elected jelly fish.

AccuDraw & Bearing KeyIns
Written by Bob Mecham.
Need to key-in bearings? Here is a little known trick that makes this easier.
First, set your AccuDraw settings to read-out in bearing mode and set the level of precision you desire
(Settings > Design File > Angle Readout).
You may also want to toggle off 'context sensitivity' for AccuDraw which will keep the compass from rotating
(Settings > AccuDraw > Operation tab).
Now the good part!
As we know, AccuDraw can operate in polar mode (hitting the spacebar toggles between rectangular and polar mode). The following shortcuts have been programmed for polar mode input:
Northeast equals quadrant #1
Northwest = quadrant #2
Southwest = quadrant #3
Southeast = quadrant #4
How do you apply this?
The quadrant number replaces the standard input of N6^37'50″E with a
Key-in of 1 6^37'50" and AccuDraw will interpret it as N6^37'50″E
Wait, it gets better!
Do you hate keying-in the [shift][ 6] keystroke to get the degree input? Try hitting the semicolon ; instead. So now your input can be: 1 6;37'50
We just went from 12 keystrokes to 9. While this does not seem to be a huge difference, it does make this task 25% more efficient and eliminates cumbersome key-strokes. We know your supervisor will appreciate the productivity boost!

When I first stepped inside my local garden centre almost five years ago, I admit I was underwhelmed. Too slick for my mind, a bit corporate I thought, not scruffy enough like some other places I had come to love. How wrong I was.
Ah, you say, he's confusing garden centres with nurseries, the former being more like a supermarket, the latter like a family-run grocer's shop. But I'm not. I mean garden centre as in a place stocking plants that they mostly buy in, as opposed to somewhere that propagates a lot of their own.
Anyway, back to the point. I wish more garden centres could be like my local one. It's not that the plants are particularly unique, although their quality is excellent. Neither is it for their prices - truth be told, it's not the place to go for bargains. Nor is it for its renowned Christmas display, an eye-boggling maze of baubles, trinkets, toys and other festive paraphernalia (too much for someone with a humbug streak).
No, the reason I love our garden centre is that they really care about what they do. They work a lot with local schools (our gardening club has often benefitted from their generosity) and run free Saturday workshops for children. They do free deliveries and guarantee all plants for two years – you can take a shrivelled stem back after a season and they'll replace it for you. And the staff really know what they're talking about – even the teenagers at the weekend.
Best of all, though, are the little touches that you begin to notice. I love their plastic pot recycling service, where old pots are left in a container outside the door and anyone can contribute or help themselves. I think I'm going to ask them to collect old compost bags and send them back for recycling. Why not ask your garden centre to do the same?
What's your favourite local garden centre or nursery - or do you prefer to buy plants from the supermarket, mail order or plant swaps?

QXL plans UK's second biggest Web float
Hopes to cash in on Internet stock bonanza
Online auction house QXL is planning a £500 million float in September, which would make it the second biggest public offering by a UK-based Web company. The float would lap-up the current buyer frenzy of Internet stocks, fuelled by Dixons' Freeserve upcoming float, according to today's Financial Times. QXL has come a long way since February, when it was valued at only £28 million when venture capitalists Apax partners bought a 25 per cent stake. Since then it has been gaining ground in the UK as well as launching sites in France, Germany and Italy. It has also started a service for users to auction second-hand goods, and one for vendors to sell products to the highest bidder. At its latest pre-flotation fund raising QXL was valued at about £157 million. It had sales of around £4 million in last year's fourth quarter. The float looks likely to go on Nasdaq in the US, with a further listing in Europe. QXL would take advantage of interest in Internet stocks, and that generated by Freeserve, which is expected to float this month with a value of anywhere between £1.2 billion and £2.5 billion. Credit Suisse First Boston, which is running the flotation of Freeserve, is understood to have won the mandate to float QXL. ®

The daughters were Marguerite (married to King Louis IX of France), Eleanor (married to King Henry III of England), Sanchia (married to King Richard of Germany, aka the Earl of Cornwall and Henry III's brother), and Beatrice (married to King Charles of Sicily, aka Charles of Anjou and Louis IX's brother).
The book is described by the reviewer as "a beautifully written history book that reads like a modern-day adventure novel. Reading about the lives of these four sisters, their husbands and their families is fascinating. ... Nancy Goldstone has written an intelligent book about an intriguing family of sisters who shaped the destiny of Europe."
Goldstone is also co-author with her husband Lawrence, of Out of the Flames, the story of Michael Servetus, scientist and author of The Christianismi Restituto, book declared heretical and which cost him his life in 1553; and of The Friar and the Cipher, a book about the Voynich Manuscript, which still has not been deciphered.

So I'm starting this thread based off of another conversation I had been reading and replying to and I thought it was a pretty interesting debate. Who comes first in your life? Your husband or your children? Now by no means do I mean the children get neglected or ignored or mistreated or anything like that. Just curious as to who is "first" and who is "second".

Stone Panel Fixing System with StoneClip
The project at the University Plaza Building in Dunedin has started and as the photo shows the first of many walls has been erected. The stone used is 80 mm thick Ormaru Limestone secured from Parkside Quarries at Ormaru.
The panel sizes which are erected in vertical format vary from 300 mm to 1000 mm wide and in course heights of from 450 to 750 mm. Every stone panel has 2 only 12 mm x100 mm shock clips securing it top and bottom with 60 mm screw bolts into the concrete precast panels and because of the random configuration of the panel sizes means that the clip placement has to be marked out separately on every panel. There is an average of 7 only Stoneclips supporting each m2 , which means that each clip is only carrying 17 kgs/ clip dry weight at 40 mm cavity but it could be a potential 34 kgs/ clip when and if the wall were to get saturated. This is still a safety margin of 100% on the loading capability of each clip.
The installation started on Saturday 6/2/11 under the supervision of Mr John Redhead of Stoneclip.com who was advising for and on behalf of Mr John Bousie of Carpet Court Dunedin. The engineer (Mr Bruce Chisholm) of Hanlon & Partners of Dunedin, is the person who signed off the installation is being undertaken to the expected standard by the installers. This first section is around 38 m2 and is only a fraction of the finish area of 1800 m2. The expected finishing date is mid year 2011.

The Northwest Peninsula was a peninsula of Bajor.
The plains in this peninsula, which were largely uninhabited in 2370, were ideal for farming. During the Occupation of Bajor, the Cardassians caused damage to the land, making it less than ideal. Haneek guaranteed her people, the Skrreeans, could make the land thrive again. The Bajoran Provisional Government representative countered, what would the Skreeans do if the situation was not ideal? What would they do if there was another long winter, if the crops failed, or if the famine plaguing Bajor spreads? The Bajorans were finding themselves unable of taking care of themselves and were unable to take on the responsibility of taking care of the Skrreeans. For this reason, the government, acting in accordance with the Vedek Assembly, denied their request for immigrating to the peninsula. (DS9: "Sanctuary")

|[en] Previous studies investigating the ability of high priority stimuli to grab attention reached
contradictory outcomes. The present study used eye tracking to examine the effect of the
presence of the self-face among other faces in a visual search task in which the face identity
was task-irrelevant. We assessed whether the self-face (1) received prioritized selection (2)
caused a difficulty to disengage attention, and (3) whether its status as target or distractor had
a differential effect. We included another highly familiar face to control whether possible
effects were self-face specific or could be explained by high familiarity. We found that the
self-face interfered with the search task. This was not due to a prioritized processing but
rather to a difficulty to disengage attention. Crucially, this effect seemed due to the self-face's
familiarity, as similar results were obtained with the other familiar face, and was modulated
by the status of the face since it was stronger for targets than for distractors.

can't be Keystone Light, we're not always so smooth
Lol! I vote Stella. Elite but full of finesse.
Sam Adams Oktoberfest. Amazing a decade back, gets a little more bland and fizzy as time goes on. Tons of potential though...
Like a Hoegaarden. Very good but only popular in the right circles. Your not going to see a lot of ads (media) pimping this beer because it doesn't really need it.
Something that tastes great and makes you have a blast until you unexpectedly puke in your lap....on your own 2 yard line.
J/K. I would go with something that is established with a lot of tradition.
Red Stripe.
Because, weed.
Huge in one part of the country, generally respected in the rest although no close ties. Therefore I order several pitchers of Boulevard Wheat, with some absinthe for the Cali boys and Joe Powell, and throw in a pint of O'Douls for Landry.
Guinness the black beer. Good and stout. Not for woosies to drink.

Lately I'd say Guinness. Perception is that it is strong, people who haven't had it might be intimidated by it due to it's reputation. The truth is it is very low on alcohol content (4.2 %) and has marketed itself very well to the masses, but the experts know better.
Classic. World wide. Expensive. Top Shelf.

We're a good premium beer, that is known for its great taste, but has been sitting on the shelf for about a year too long.

|Rajon Rondo pulls down a second-half rebound, one of nine he had in the game. (Barry Chin/Globe Staff)
Nick of time
A late 3-ball by Allen beats NY in Game 1
Mike D'Antoni didn't need game film to remind him.
The Celtics snatched regular-season games from his Knicks in the fourth quarter, whether drilling an icy step-back jumper for the winner or going on a 10-0 game-sealing run.
If the Knicks cracked, the Celtics would capitalize, and D'Antoni had a short list of the tiny things that would mean the difference in teams' opening-round playoff series.
"A great defensive play,'' he said. "Discipline. A rebound. A ball on the floor, can you get there? Can you draw a foul? Can you flop when necessary?''
The difference would be which team would execute in the fourth quarter, and the Celtics did it a little better in last night's 87-85 win, with Ray Allen hitting a decisive 3-pointer with 11.6 seconds left.
With 50 seconds left in the fourth quarter, TD Garden became a kiln. Toney Douglas drilled a 3-pointer that put the Knicks ahead by 3. But Rajon Rondo inbounded a long lob to Kevin Garnett, who flushed the alley-oop to cut it to 85-84.
Then came the crack.
Fighting Paul Pierce for position, New York's Carmelo Anthony was whistled for an offensive foul.
The Celtics turned the mistake into Allen's winner; he took a pass from Pierce and hit from 24 feet out.
They didn't shoot the ball well (43.8 percent), they didn't protect it (18 turnovers), and they fell behind by as many as 12 points in the second half. But they treated D'Antoni's checklist like it was their own, diving for loose balls to create extra possessions (19 second-chance points), fighting on the glass (15 offensive rebounds), and putting themselves in position to make the last two minutes the most important of the night.
"The whole thing about tonight was our fourth-quarter execution,'' Pierce said. "Regardless of how many shots we missed or if we were down, it's all about our defense and our execution down the stretch and we were able to do that. Down the stretch I thought we found a way to win and that was because of our experience.''
Pierce missed 10 of his 16 shots, but he made Anthony miserable most of the night (15 points on 5-for-18 shooting, 1 for 11 in the second half), frustrating him enough to draw the crucial late foul and open the game up.
"I don't know if he 'drew' it,'' Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. "But he took it. And it was the right call. Heck of a call to make, but it was the right call.''
D'Antoni had a different view.
"In my eyes, obviously I'm biased, I thought it was a tough call to make,'' he said.
The next play, Pierce worked a pick-and-roll with Garnett to find Allen for a deep three. Douglas, the Knicks' skilled, but undersized, guard who spent most of the night being posted up by the taller Allen, tried to lunge at Allen as he took the shot, but Garnett stepped in front, giving Allen a clear look.
"I thought the call that Toney went flying trying to chase Ray Allen was a tough no-call,'' D'Antoni said.
For Allen, it was the timeliest of breakthroughs after slumping to end the season. He took 15 shots (he hadn't taken that many in more than a month) and found a rhythm, scoring a team-high 24 points.
The Celtics were 18-4 in the regular season when Allen scored at least 20 points.
"It's all about rhythm,'' Allen said. "You just can't let it get into your head, thinking that you don't have a rhythm.''
The Knicks, fueled by Amar'e Stoudemire's 28-point, 11-rebound night, were ahead by as many as 5 points with 3:36 left, but fumbled the game away.
Fouls troubled Anthony from the start, derailing his postseason debut with the Knicks in less than two minutes.
He fouled Garnett and put him on the line. Then, Pierce stepped in front of him and drew a charge. Anthony stayed on the floor long enough to cough the ball up on the Knicks' next possession. Then D'Antoni called him over to the bench, plugging Bill Walker in for the rest of the quarter.
Anthony made up for it in the second, though, scoring 12 points and pushing the Knicks to a 51-39 halftime lead. But he lost the touch in the end, shooting 2 for 8 from 3-point range.
Still the Knicks felt confident, playing the Celtics' game and nearly stealing one on their home floor.
"I missed some shots I normally make,'' Anthony said. "I'm not too concerned about my individual performance. As a team I think we did a hell of a job competing out there. I'm excited about this series.''
The Celtics left feeling like they won without playing their best game.
"We just found a way,'' said Rondo, who flirted with a triple-double (10 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists). "It's not going to be pretty, it's not going to be easy, winning this thing. For us to get a win tonight was huge. We didn't play well at all.''
Except for the last 50 seconds.

Mission Portals connect San Antonio's four historic missions – Mission Concepción, Mission San Jose, Mission San Juan and Mission Espada – to the San Antonio River. These connections feature historic and artistic interpretations of the story of the missions and highlight their social and cultural importance to the area. This reinforces the importance of the river to the missions and encourages visitors to circulate between the Mission Riverwalk and the river. Project planners worked closely with the National Park Service to ensure that there would be a seamless transition between the Mission Riverwalk and the historic missions.

RJD attacks Nitish govt over PCI report
Opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) on Wednesday attacked Bihar government in the state Assembly over the report of Press Council of India (PCI).
Patna: Opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) on Wednesday attacked Bihar government in the state Assembly over the report of Press Council of India (PCI) alleging the government of "arm-twisting" media in its favour.
After rejection of their adjournment motion, RJD members trooped into well of the House and shouted slogans against the government over PCI`s team report about media freedom in Bihar.
Leader of Opposition Abdul Bari Siddiqui urged the Speaker Udai Narayan Chaudhary that if he has rejected the adjournment motion he should allow a special debate on the subject.
The protesting RJD members shouted slogans against Nitish Kumar government "gagging freedom of press" and forcing the news organisations to work in its favour by providing huge advertisements. They had indulged in slogan shouting at the gate of Assembly before the House began for the day.
The issue took a serious turn when Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi and Leader of the Opposition Abdul Bari Siddiqui indulged in a verbal duel challenging each other over authenticity of the report of a three-member team formed by Chairman Markandey Katju over press freedom in Bihar.
Modi claimed that according a member of the PCI, who he had spoken to, the report has yet not been officially approved by the council and was "leaked".
However, Siddiqui insisted that the report was official and if Modi was not convinced he could talk to Chairman Katju directly.
The RJD members continued to disrupt zero hour and time allotted for call attention motion. They returned to their seats only when the Speaker announced Siddiqui`s name to read his call attention notice.
The PCI report on Bihar has triggered a major political storm with opposition RJD and LJP attacking the Nitish Kumar government over attacking freedom of press.
Ruling JD(U) has rubbished the report and charged Katju with working like a "Congress agent" against non-Congress governments.

"Alhough successful administrative officer, she was a bit rigid, I suppose. After all, Ministry circulars haven't even force of law, so there's no sense in treating them as if they are personally dictated by God Almighty. I doubt whether Miss Bolam would have got much further. Mind you, she was competent, methodical, and highly conscientious officer."
Can anyone help me with the highlighted sentence from P.D. James' A Mind to Kill?
