H&M Online Shopping and Shipping to the Philippines Review
I'm crazy over suede clothing. Suede is my staple fabric, not that I have tons of it, I just want it for every type of clothing item. I have suede pants, shirts, dress, bag and a premium pig skin short. I'm just lacking on skort and skirt. Googling suede skirt, I came up with this cute one from H&M. It's hard looking for a suede skort (perhaps I can get one soon) and this suede skirt with lacing almost pass for one. As you can see, it's double-layered on the front which is characteristic of a skort.
|via HM.com
I head over to a local store and found it absent from the shelves. Asking for help from an employee resulted to nothing. I had no choice but to order it online as local H&M stores are adamant about online shopping.
Mandaue City is known for its outstanding courier service and I'm no stranger to shipping from abroad. But that's entirely a different story. Shipping from China is quite different from shipping from a well-known brand in the UK. I was afraid I'm going to lose my items through tariff issues (not that I'm purchasing something so expensive) for after all, my $8 item got stuck on the post office before and this skirt costed me P1201 including shipping. Had I not talked to my suking delivery guy then, I would not have known that my parcel got held. Anyway, for this one, I just hoped that H&M partner in the Philippines will do its best.
By the way, since April 2017, a package that falls below the amount of P10,000 is nontaxable already. That is, there's no longer any tax-handling fees and I expect that my item will no longer be held at the post office (again).
I was planning to buy at least three items but my fear got the good of me. Screw the P249 shipping, I just had to have this one. Good thing there's a 20% discount on Black Friday so that neutralized the cost. I ordered on the 25th of November and received my package on the 21st of December. That's 4 days short of a month!
From H&M UK to the PhilippinesH&M uses wnDirect courier to deliver items from the UK warehouse to the country of destination. As you can see from the image below, my order was entertained and packed on the 28th of November, 3 days from the day of ordering which is pretty common in international online shopping. My package left UK on the 1st of December and reached the Philippines on the 9th. Once the package reaches the country of destination, another courier is tasked on handling the package and therefore, a separate tracking system is used.
From Mandaluyong City Hub to Consignee AddressQuantum Solutions is the courier handling packages from H&M within the Philippines.
From the main hub, it took 6 days for my package to reach the hub in Cebu City and another 6 days for it to be delivered to my doorstep. Yeah, really slow-going. If you don't have the patience for it, I advice for you to shop elsewhere or else, just buy whatever you can grab from the physical stores. Well, a month of waiting is nothing next to 2 months when you order from China. And yet, shopping from Korea would only take a week.
The delivery man called me on the day of the delivery at an odd hour. The time was close to 5:00 PM and most courier would be done of their job by 4:00 PM. I told him I'm using a faulty phone and that the best way for us to communicate is through text. He complied.
This is how my parcel looked:
ConclusionIt's stupid of me to fear that my package is going to be held at the local post office and it has nothing to do with it being shipped from a known brand in the UK. It's the fact that a known brand would have its own private courier, duh. And again, it took 26 days for my package to arrive at my doorstep from the day I made an order.

Im curious how much was the item and how much did it cost you including shipping? I really want some items online (H&M) but really hesitant as well because of possible i dunno chargers. Please help.ReplyDeleteReplies

Uhm I just bought some items worth P3,500 last night and that's when i read negative reviews about H&M online shop. And then there's this "final tax" and I'm getting worried about that because it might get so expensive!! Please enlighten me!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Sorry for the late reply. There will no longer be any tax for a package that costs P10,000 and below. Moreover, H&M has its own courier so you need not worry about additional costs.Delete

Hi! I ordered jeans yesterday. I read a lot of negative reviews regarding shipping and some do not receive the parcel on time or the thing they ordered never arrived. :( I was about to order again jeans but I'm afraid that I'll experience what other online shoppers did. Btw, are their sizing way too small? Thanks!ReplyDeleteReplies
Your orders from HM will eventually arrive for they have their own delivery service (not third-party like LBC). You just have to wait for a month though but if you're in Manila, you only need about 2-3 weeks. About sizing, I think it's the same with other brands. But definitely, Mango's sizing is at least one size smaller compared to other brands. HM's sizing is similar with Forever21's.Delete

About ZELTIQ® Aesthetics, Inc.
ZELTIQ is a medical technology company focused on developing and commercializing products utilizing its proprietary controlled-cooling technology platform. ZELTIQ's first commercial product, the CoolSculpting System, is designed to selectively reduce stubborn fat that may not respond to diet or exercise. CoolSculpting is based on the scientific principle that fat cells are more sensitive to cold than the overlying skin and surrounding tissues. It utilizes patented technology of precisely controlled cooling to reduce the temperature of fat cells in the treated area, which is intended to cause fat cell elimination through a natural biological process known as apoptosis. ZELTIQ developed CoolSculpting to safely, noticeably, and measurably reduce the fat layer.
In the U.S. and Taiwan, non-invasive fat reduction is cleared only for the flank (love handle) and abdomen. The CoolSculpting procedure for non-invasive fat reduction is available worldwide. CoolSculpting, the CoolSculpting logo and the Snowflake design are registered trademarks of ZELTIQ Aesthetics, Inc. ©2014 All rights reserved. The products described in this document may be covered by U.S. Patent 7,367,341. Other patents and patent applications pending worldwide. IC1554-A

Getting the Rock Band Back Together – Why It Should Happen
Ah, the glorious years of music and rhythm video games. Dance Dance Revolution, Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Just Dance, Sing Star – these are just a few of the popular games that made us get with friends and rock the night away. But then it all stopped. Why? Well, mostly because everyone got tired of it. At least, that's what everyone seems to be saying. Still, there seems to be a desire deep within many of us to get the band back together. Rock Band developer feels the same and if rumors are true, it looks like they're bringing back the game.
Rock Band, along with many of the other music games, is a social experience that gaming is lacking these days. The experience of being in a room with friends and family, just having fun together. Local multiplayer games are dwindling due to the intricate networks that have been forged (thank Nintendo for being one of the old faithfuls) but they shouldn't be gone forever. I remember having several great nights where my friends and I kicked back, had snacks, drinks, brought out the Wii and played Rock Band for hours into the night (yes, I played Rock Band on the Wii). We don't have those nights much any more. True, times have changed. People have busier lives. It seems like everything else is consuming it. But it's good for each of us to connect and Rock Band is one of those avenues which provides that experience.
I don't believe a Rock Band game should come out every year or two. That would be overkill and that is probably what caused the burnout everyone suffered with these type of games. I also don't believe that songs should be released each week as DLC, especially at these ridiculous prices we have seen in the past. However, if Harmonix is able to bring a fresh new take on the genre and while keeping that family friendly living room fun intact, I welcome it 100 times over.
It's a new generation and a new time to start fresh. I think that Rock Band could come back and be successful once again if things are kept simple and with the right crowd in mind. The instruments don't need to change but maybe offer new game modes and a wider variety of songs available day one on the disc. Make use of the new social world we live in that now has live games streaming. Maybe Harmonix could add something that takes advantage of the built-in "interact" button through the PS4's share system on Twitch and UStream.
We could see the birth of a new (fake?) era of rock stars thanks to the sudden explosion of video games streaming, especially now that they're built into new generation consoles. Virtual battle of the bands, anyone? There are a lot of new possibilities to bring the fun back with Rock Band and I'm looking forward to playing again if the rumors prove true. Some say that there will be an announcement at PAX East.
I'm ready to pick up the stringless bass again and strum the night away with my buddies. What about you? Would you dive back into Rock Band if Harmonix were to bring it back? What features or instruments would you like to see on the new generation? Sound off in the comments below!

This website replaced the Macclesfield Quiz League blog in 2017. The blog had been operational since 2007.
Macclesfield is a market town in the English county of Cheshire, and its Quiz League has run without a break in the town's public houses on Tuesday nights through the winter since (at least) 1981. The League has been very kindly sponsored for many years by AstraZeneca under their excellent Community Relations programme.
Without the League's serene influence, several hundred people might have no idea which was the longest river wholly in England, how many bones there were in the human body, or who shot Gandhi. Some of us have been taking part for decades, and still don't know ...
On this website you can find the League fixtures, the latest results and tables, questions that have been asked since part–way through the 2016–17 season, and a partial historical archive of results and tables.
More information on the League is available on Nick's Quiz site, which has been a favourite with MQL participants (and indeed many non–participants) for many years. Nick's blog concentrates on the fortunes of one particular team, but also provides a forum for anyone who feels inclined to comment on matters related to MQL. It also holds the questions from several seasons up to and including 2016–17.
If you have any comments on the contents of this website, not least regarding any errors that you may spot, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Cup Final and presentations evening was held on Tuesday 17 April. The information packs for the 2017–18 season (as in previous years) are now available from the Latest Updates menu on the left hand side of this page, under 'Final Placings'.
Congratulations to the Dolphin on a convincing victory in the Cup Final – by 115 points to 105. More details are available in the Fixtures & Results section (there's a link in the Latest Updates menu).
The final round of league matches for the 2017–18 season were played on Tuesday 27 March. The questions, results, final League tables, the final individual top tens, and the News & Views are also available from the Latest Updates menu.
The latest updates to the archive were made on Thursday 14 June 2018. For details, please refer to the Latest Updates menu on the left hand side of this page.
All the information I have for the 2004–5 season and earlier is now on the website. The League's hard-copy archive should hold a complete record from at least the year 1998; what I don't have for these years I will get and upload in due course.
Final tables (League and Individual) are online for every season since 1994–5. Results (and News & Views) for the seasons 2005–6 to 2015–16 are waiting to go online.
For details of what we have and what we don't have, please refer to the Archive Summary page. If anyone has anything from before 2003 that isn't on the website, please let me know!
Thanks to Andy Johnson, Robin Morrell and Tim Findlow who have provided information so far.

SNOW Workshops
Introduction to Special Needs in the Classroom workshop Series
These on-line workshops offer practical learning tools, interactive learning environments and valuable peer-to-peer support for educators and support staff working with children with special needs. The workshop series was originally designed for Educational Assistants, but was recently revised to be relevant for classroom teachers, parents, students, and therapists alike. Anyone who will be working with students in some capacity is welcome to participate. The moderated workshops are offered entirely online. You will be able to participate in the workshop at your own pace within the scheduled three week workshop period, with a couple online or telephone group chats with the moderator to help consolidate learning and answer questions. Learners will benefit from up-to-date and engaging content, practical and applicable knowledge from instructor-moderated online discussion, and a network of participants. Course are offered twice between September and March.
The Introduction to Special Needs in the Classroom workshop series offers the following courses:
Autism Spectrum Disorder - TBD Fall 2018
Learning Disabilities - TBD Fall 2018
Developmental Disabilities - TBD Fall 2018
Behaviour Disorders - TBD Fall 2018
Each workshop is moderated by an experienced educator. A tuition fee of $40 (plus HST) per workshop is charged. The workshops are offered between September and May.
Successful completion will be awarded a certificate of participation and a SNOW workshop badge. Digital badges are a way of demonstrating your achievements online. We are hosting the badges in an Alumni Community section, which we hope will also be a potential forum for former participants to connect and share experiences.
Outside-In Self-Paced Accessibility Workshops
These online workshops were developed as part of Outside-In, a past project run out of our department, the Inclusive Design Research Centre. One of the goals of the program was to empower youth with exceptionalities to actively participate in activities that will make the world more accessible rather than leave them passive recipients of acts of accessibility. Check out the Workshop Descriptions for more information and links to the workshops.

- Marinate the mutton pieces with 1/2 turmeric powder, salt and 1 tsp pepper powder, keep it refrigerated for 10-15 minutes.
- Chop onion, garlic, ginger, green chilly, tomato, curry leaves and coriander leaves in to very small thin pieces.
- Separate egg white in to a bowl and beat with a spoon and keep aside.
- Preheat the oven to 220 C.
- Prepare a baking pan, line it with aluminium foil or parchment paper.
- Heat oil in a pan and splutter mustard seeds.
- Add chopped ginger and garlic, saute for a few seconds, add chopped onion, salt and saute again till the onion turns golden brown, in low flame.

- Let this cool down, and now start preparing your pastry sheet.
- Prepare a small bowl with enough water and keep it aside.
- Roll the pastry sheet to stretch it, if necessary. Make sure you pour little wheat flour while rolling.

Recycled Cardboard Version of a Wheat Straw Tree Ornament.Submitted by Pam on Tue, 11/13/2012 - 00:57
I love playing with wheat straw! I love the look of almost anything made with wheat straw! However, it is not readily available to everyone - not something most crafters keep in their stash. I really, really wanted to share my little wheat tree ornaments but not one alternative material worked until I asked myself the question "What would Michele use?"
Easy Alternative To The Scandinavian Wooden Advent Calendar TreeSubmitted by Pam on Wed, 11/07/2012 - 20:59

Magic Disappearing "Recycled" Paper Quilt Block Advent CalendarSubmitted by Pam on Tue, 11/06/2012 - 02:54
Here is an idea for one very simple, easy to make Advent Calendar tree! And not only is it easy and inexpensive to make, but it is beyond recyclable or reuse! I like to call it "re-directed use" because once the holidays are over it can be quickly disassembled and most of the parts used the rest of the year for other important stuff; and next year the parts can be reassembled into another Advent Calendar!!

Kid Friendly Version of "Punched Tin" Dragonfly (and Butterfly)Submitted by Pam on Tue, 08/14/2012 - 01:22
Ever since posting my tutorial for making punched tin butterflies a few years back, and more recently punched tin dragonfly wings, I have been thinking about a way to make "punched tin" more child friendly and less likely to cut little fingers.

Hargill is a census-designated place (CDP) in Hidalgo County, Texas, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, it had a population of 877.
Hargill is part of the McAllen–Edinburg–Mission Metropolitan Statistical Area.
The community's history dates back to the early 1900s. At that time, the Missouri Texas Land and Irrigation Company owned approximately 60,000 acres (240 km2) of land, including the area that would later become Hargill. Two businessmen, William Apsey Harding and Samuel Lamar Gill, formed a partnership known as the Harding-Gill Company in 1916 for the purpose of developing the land. The name Hargill originated from the last names of the two men. In 1920, school was constructed in the community. A post office opened in 1924 and a railroad station was established in 1926. By 1930, Hargill had an estimated population of 400 with several stores and three churches. The number of residents grew to 450 by the late 1940s. Hargill's population declined to approximately 100 in the mid-1960s, but steadily grew during the remainder of the twentieth century. In 1990, the population exceeded 1,300 and remained at that level in 2000.

I've pinned this poem of mine to the top of the blog. It was inspired by a 2012 Daily Mail story, Teenager is arrested for burning poppy on Facebook.
I choked back my tears, as I pondered the rhyme
On 11/11, at just the right time,
In my home town square, where the wreaths had been laid
And the mayor wore his chain, and the Last Post was played.
"For their tomorrow we gave our today."
Shall we squander such sorrow? Throw tomorrow away?
A giddy young man set a poppy alight.
This brave new tomorrow, that's his human right.
I cannot fathom this young man's rage,
Which might have "gone viral", left up on his page.
But was it sincere, the remembrance he tested?
Were we glad or appalled, when this lad was arrested?

Spotting fakes
Why buying fake steroids are bad for the consumer
Obviously buying fake anything is bad but buying fake anabolic steroids is worse! There are a number of factors the first factor I compare it to is going holiday or online and buying a fake pair of Armani jeans.
Now we know the quality is not there but they look exactly like the real one's and then there's the price difference we are talking £100 vs. £15. With fake steroids this is not the case! You are paying full price for the product thinking its real and only getting at best some thing that's underdosed and not what you payed for.
Now the other dangers are you are injecting something into your body that might not be sterile and risking infection. You also have this problem with oral steroids. lets take Anavar as an example These are very expensive too produce so anything that's priced cheaper is fake!
Now what the counterfeiter normally use is Dianabol because it's cheaper to produce and the customer will still get gains and not complain. Now this is ok for them until you get a female buyer who wants to take something that's not going to effect her hormones and then she gets the male side effects of the steroid but the counterfeiters still get paid so why should they care right??
Sadly we can't police the steroid sellers but we can educate customers to Tell the difference between real and fake products! We at gorillasteroids.eu
Are working closely with http://ionxpharmaceuticals.com to ensure customers are not being ripped off and ensure they get exactly what they pay for.
Due to counterfeiting Isis pharmaceuticals
Are changing there name please verify all
Isis pharmaceutical produts at this new address
As the old one is no longer in use.

It has not been much since photographers managed to capture some early shots of General Motor Corporation's new toy, 2018 GMC Sierra. Thus, we can clearly see that there will be some improvements in this concept. Not only will they make it look more stylish but they will also enchant its performance. In fact, rumors state that this car will probably be the best truck of the year that will wait a lot more than what is already on the market. As the engine will receive significant updates, so will the technological features of the car, on the inside.
2018 GMC Sierra – Exterior and Interior Design
From high-quality materials to high technology, the interior of the new 2018 GMC Sierra will make every car enthusiast crave for this truck. There will be four seats available to carry three passengers and the driver. All of them will be covered in fine leather which will bring out the stylishness and elegance of this SUV. Plus, the steering wheel will receive the same treatment. The car also comes with a vast entertainment system which the driver will be able to operate easily through the 8-inch LCD touch screen panel system. The panel is made of aluminum, as well as the centre console, and it contains a music player with USB port, 4G WI-FI hotspot, Bluetooth, navigation, hands-free phone system and a charging pad. General Motor Corporation has spent a lot of time improving this panel to make it respond quicker to input. The software is well-designed, and there is a special icon for each function that it offers. The future 2018 GMC Sierra promises to arrive on the market with a few exterior design changes, too. The manufacturers chose to follow the previous model's design as it remained strong, elegant, and up to date, but with slight improvements. For instance, the doors will have three-way seals to ensure to diminish the sounds that come from the outside. The windows will also be wind-resistant to create a quiet atmosphere inside the 2018 GMC truck. The 2018 GMC Sierra is a massive car, with up to 20-feet in length, and the roofline at 6.5-feet high. The model uses LED headlines both for the front and the rear. Car enthusiasts should also expect larger tires than its predecessors, all meant to accentuate the hostile look of this grand SUV.
2018 GMC Sierra – Engine and Performance
The GMC Sierra 2018 uses a 6-liter V8 fuel engine that can have up to 360 Horsepower. Another variant will be a 6.6-liter turbocharged diesel V8 that will be capable of producing more Horsepower than the former option, about 397. At the same time, it will produce about 765-pound-feet of torque. Allison manufacturer also adds a six-speed automatic transmission to the diesel engine. Plus, the new engines will allow the car to ride on two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive.
2018 GMC Sierra – Price and Release Date
The new vehicle of General Motor Corporation is expected to cost around $33,545, or even $54,545. Based on the new features and updates, car enthusiasts believe that the price will not overcome the previous model's price too much. The release date is uncertain, as the Company has not released official information yet.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) --All 49 doors at the Hotel California were tagged Thursday morning by code enforcement, leaving tenants scrambling and desperate to find a new place to stay.
"I can't afford any other place to stay with my income. I'm by myself, so it's hard to do it. Just hopefully I find a place and God helps me," said Cheryl Your, resident.
Hotel California is one of the few places that rents to those with no credit, prior evictions, and unreliable income sources. Small rooms are available by week or month.
Thursday, the abrupt news was made worse for residents after motel workers began immediately removing all appliances in their rooms due to a potential breaker overload and fire hazard.
"They want to move our refrigerators out, microwaves, lights, and all that-- so what are we going to do? Just sit in the dark? We have over $200 worth of food in our refrigerator and freezer that we have bought, that we have nowhere to put," said Antoinette Castaneda, resident.
Some residents blamed the city and its new administration for suddenly cracking down on problems that have persisted for years.
One tenant said to a city worker, "So the city is just saying then forget us then, right?"
City worker, "No, no that's not."
Tenant, "That's what's happening. They can't just take my food man, we living off that stuff.
City worker, "The city is trying to keep you safe. That's why we have the fire watch here.
Tenant, "If the city is trying to keep us safe they would've done this a long time ago. We've been here six months, ain't no fire started yet."
The owner of the motel, Dushyant Sharm, made his rounds too, promising to refund residents money they already paid. He said he was also ripped off when he bought the motel 15 months ago assuming it was up to code.
"Last owner, they never took the permit for boiler, heating system, and electric system. So therefore the city closed the whole thing."
We asked the owner is he bought it as is and Sharm responded by saying, "Yes but they never told me anything. They never disclose anything."
The motel owner said city workers first had a problem with heating, but once he provided a heating system for occupied units, the breakers were overloaded. Now Code Enforcement said the motel needs new roofing and has mold.
Late Thursday, Mayor Lee Brand held a press conference saying he has a task force working to find residents other options and places to live but ultimately it's the motel owner's responsibility.
"But the city is not going to turn a blind eye to this. We're looking at it too. We have compassion for the people that live their too."
The last time a Fresno motel was red tagged by the city was four years ago.
Residents said Thursday's action was not an emergency.
City leaders said they have a list of other places that are also in violation and not operating under the proper permits.

Thoughts on Atom vs Zed
So, Atom happened, github's web tech-based code editor. I have an Atom invite and I played around with it a bit today and it's an interesting project -- and with the weight of Github behind it, definitely not something to ignore.
Of course, as the author of Zed I have to ask: how does Atom compare to Zed, and is there any reason for Zed to exist anymore? In this post I'll try to compare and contrast the two a little bit based on what I've learned so far. Of course, all of this is somewhat biased, but I try to abstain from criticism at the level of "WHY COFFEESCRIPT!? COFFEESCRIPT SUCKS!!1"
Web technology
Both Zed and Atom observed that web technology is a great way to build a hackable editor, and that a web tech stack doesn't need to live in a web page. In Zed's case it's a Chrome app (and available for Mac/Windows/Linux/ChromeOS) -- although spoiler alert I have a branch with a node-webkit prototype for Zed too --- in Atom's case it's a native app based on a forked version of node-webkit, currently only on Mac, but I'm sure with at least a Windows version is not far off. Zed is built using HTML, pure CSS and JavaScript. Atom is built using HTML, Less and CoffeeScript.
Atom is, due to its strong ties to node.js APIs, less portable than Zed. Zed currently runs as a Chrome app, and in prototype-form as a node-webkit "native" app. But it's easy to also make it work as a regular web app, if need be, or as a Firefox App if that ever becomes a thing. That said, of course, getting access to node.js directly allows the editor to do anything node.js can do (= basically anything) and Chrome or web apps can't.
Zed has the explicit goal of doing things differently regarding the concept of open files and tabs (or lack thereof), minimalism in UI, unifying file opening and creation, and remote file editing. Atom basically looks like sublime: file tree on the left, tab bar along the top, and borrows features like goto and the command panel from Sublime and Textmate too (Zed does too, but has tweaked the way goto works). Atom is more "traditional" UX-wise, which is a perfectly legitimate choice.
Feature set
I'm not going to do a feature-by-feature comparison. Let's say that Zed and Atom are relatively close in terms of feature set. Atom is probably stronger in terms of find and replace support (regex support, find and replace in project). Zed is stronger in language support (extensible code completion, inline markers for linters, symbol indexing, code formatters etc.) and remote file editing. The reason for Zed's language support focus is obvious, considering where I came from and you can expect more features in this area in the future.
Since both are extensible editors, my response to any missing feature in Zed can be "well, just fork the project and add it, or create an extension" and Github will say "well, just write an extension."
From the beginning the ability to extend Zed (beyond forking the code) has been high priority for Zed, however being a Chrome app limits its flexibility a bit. If you want to use Chrome APIs like getting access to the local file system, you need to run in a "safe" mode that does not allow a lot of things like eval'ing arbitrary (user) code. Therefore, in Zed, all extension code lives in a sandbox in a separate process. Zed exposes APIs to the sandbox to do certain things like using basic UI elements, getting access to files etc. Zed extension points are designed in advance and not accidental. Zed provides specific extension points to extend its built-in code completion, symbol indexing, linting etc. support. There are (currently) no APIs to make arbitrary changes to the DOM, listen to arbitrary events etc. Zed may eventually get these features, but they have to added explicitly.
However, putting extension code in a sandbox has two advantages:
Extensions can interfere with the main process in limited ways, it's difficult to make the main editor crash as a result of poor extension code, and because the sandbox lives in a separate process, performing CPU intensive tasks also does not slow down the editor.
It is easy to reload extension code without having to reload the whole editor (by simply killing the sandbox and restarting it). As a result, extensions can be developed without having to relaunch Zed, but just by resetting the sandbox.
Atom extensions as far as I can see, get full access to about everything: the DOM and all CoffeeScript/JS APIs. This provides a lot of flexibility, and as a result a more significant part of Atom is built as extensions compared to Zed. For instance, auto completion is not a built-in Atom feature, but built as an extension. The question is how extensions will interact, for instance if I want to add a JavaScript-specific auto completer. I suppose the autocomplete Atom extension would need to provide an API somehow (couldn't find how, or if this is supported). In Zed, code completion is a core feature and provides handlers to plug in to, to do this -- which how the word, ctag symbol and snippet completers are implemented.
However, since all code in Atom is loaded into the same JavaScript VM, reloading involves reopening windows to see the results during extension development -- at least, as far as I can see. And poor extension code, can completely screw up the editor.
Atom has
apm, a package manager (from the looks of it, based on npm) to easily install, upgrade, remove and publish extensions. Very cool stuff. Zed has no such feature yet, although it's coming.
Licensing and cost
How Atom will be distributed once it leaves beta is not 100% clear. Most likely it will be free, but not open source with some sort payment model attached. Github is trying to find a balance between the ability to earn money on the product, while still open sourcing as much as possible. Zed is 100% open source, MIT licensed.

Call it the thrill of victory, and the agony of trying to get to the parade.
SEPTA yesterday released its detailed transit plan for those looking to head into the city Thursday for the Eagles Super Bowl Parade.
Officials learned some tough lessons back in 2008 when the Phillies held their World Championship Parade. SEPTA wasn't prepared for the mass of people looking to get on their regional rail lines to head into the city. Trains filled quickly at the outermost stations and once at capacity, they simply zipped into the city, blowing by hundreds of fans left stranded at stations farther east across the county.
They put the lessons they learned into effect for the pope's visit.
One of the key they announced yesterday was limiting the number of stations on Delaware County's two rail lines - Media/Elwyn and the Wilmington line.
Trains on Media/Elwyn will stop only at Elwyn, Media and Primos on the way into the city.
On the Wilmington line, stops will include Wilmington, Marcus Hook and Ridley Park.
But SEPTA also announced that all riders would need a special pass to use the regional rails Thursday. They went on sale for $10 yesterday afternoon and quickly became the hottest item in the region.
We've had reports of stations running out of the special passes and people waiting in lines for hours last night in Paoli in an attempt to get them.
Here's the problem. It's simply numbers. SEPTA GM Jeff Knueppel was on TV this morning to explain the predicament. The system can shuttle 500,000 people into the city at capacity. They are expecting upwards of 2 million at the parade. You do the math. SEPTA indicated they would try to get more passes out to the stations today.
Then again if you can get to the 69th Street Terminal, the Market-Frankford line is going to be running free all day. Or you could drive into the city and take your chances finding a parking spot.
All the parade details & a salute to Eagles head coach Doug Pederson
The party keeps rolling for Eagles fans - and we're going along for the ride.
First off we have another keepsake centerspread page. Today we're honoring the man who led these Eagles all season long. That would be Eagles head coach Doug Pederson. Make sure you pick up a copy of our print edition to snag one.
On Thursday we will have another version of our classic "Phinally" front page image of Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles in our centerspread position.
And on Friday you'll want to pick up a copy of the print edition for a special keepsake section covering the massive Super Bowl Parade planned for downtown Philly Thursday.
If you're planning to head downtown for the parade, we've got a checklist of all the things you need to know.
Your early morning report from the roads
I don't often have praise for my work schedule.
Today is one of them.
I just got into the office here a few minutes before 5:30.
I can tell you I just drove through blowing and drifting salt and brine.
In other words, nothing is happening out there.
But we're told it is coming.
Actually, the biggest problem I had was getting stuck at one point behind a salt truck and having my car showered with salt pellets.
As I approached Granite Run Mall I started to notice a few drops on the windshield, and it appeared the roads were wet. Then it stopped again.
None of this is stopping schools from proactively reacting to the forecast. Many are operating on a two-hour delay, including Upper Darby, Garnet Valley and Penn-Delco so far.
This is supposed to start as a period of wet snow and icing, before changing over to steady rain amid rising temperatures this afternoon. We could get drenched this afternoon. The morning rush could be a mess. If you can get out now you won't have a problem.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory until noon for a nasty mix of snow, ice and rain. We're likely only going to get a coating here, but the ice could make getting around dicey.
You can get the full forecast here.
It is the only thing that can chase the Eagles off the lead on all the local TV news.
The Eagles have realized their "gold standard." In the TV news business they actually have the "white standard."
That means snow.
Brace yourself.

PITTSBURGH — It wasn't perfect. Not even close. The finish was soft, and there were some situations when fundamentals were sorely lacking.
Still, it might have been the New Orleans Saints' best win of the season.
You could argue the Green Bay win was more impressive or that the Saints played better in a number of other games — both in wins and losses — but Sunday's 35-32 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field was desperately needed.
Coming into Sunday, the Saints had lost three consecutive games at home, losing sight of the basic fundamentals necessary to succeed. They were very much a team on the brink, only being kept alive by the wildly underachieving NFC South.

Remember when Rexall Ice was the envy of the league and ice maker Dan Craig was carried around on the shoulders of the Oilers after every game in celebration?
Remember last year how the ice looked like a Sprite Slurpee some nights and caused Rod Phillips to sigh that "the ice here at Rexall tonight is not up to par"?
We just had an interesting conversation with a refrigeration engineer who just finished up some major equipment upgrades to Rexall.
"There was some real issues with parts of the ice plant, and this had resulted in poorer ice quality in years past. Though the future of the arena is unclear, we were given the green light to replace some large pieces of equipment. This should significantly improve the quality of the ice next year and put Edmonton back near the top of the league."
If we had a nickel for every interesting conversation we have had with a refrigeration engineer this would leave us with a grand sum of $0.05. Still its good to hear that the ice will improve next year, though it reduces the chances that a Stefan-to-Hemsky will happen again soon.
One other thing
We see that Jarret Stoll signed for four years at $ 14.4 million. This is can only be described as a win-win-lose-lose scenario. Stoll signs a rich deal that will allow his step children to be to continue to live in style—win. LA, lacking every ingredient that is required to succeed in the NHL, succeed in their desperate attempt at locking down some potential leadership—win. Sadly this means Stoll will be a King for the foreseeable future—lose—and shan't play in a game of any real importance for years to come—lose. Still Kudos to Stoll for straight up tricking the Kings into a long-term deal you sneaky bugger.
Bigups to the OilersNinja for keeping us in the know.

wow exciting. this looks alright. begin download. NOW.
4.1 from IGN. Worse than Shaun White's snowboarding. And when it's a sequel and you haven't heard of the first one, it's probably not very good.
The entire game is controlled using the touch screen, no buttons are involved whatsoever.
That's probably why also.
why wont the developers come to gbatemp... to understand that touchscreen only games are liked as much as dual controls
ofcourse, zelda and PoP did quite well

Wah. I have been sicky mcsickerton for the last 3-4 days. Lying in my tousled bed while dogs shredded lacrosse balls and stolen socks just out of reach. I slept, I was chilled, I sweated, I was so dirty I didn't even care. But now, here today I am downstairs, white and shaky. Tomorrow I will pick up my pick axe and lunch pail, afix my head lamp and trudge off to the salt mines again. I vow to be cheerful, not talk about myself, friendly, kind and considerate. I will not moan or complain. I will chug dayquil til I turn dayglow orange.
And then, tomorrow night I will post some fellow etsian's creation and rejoin the forumaspere. Kyle and Liz made me 2 necklaces to sell for them which I will add to my page on Sat. You will like them. It is a cool combo of all that hemp weaving stuff combined with semiprecious gemstones....
more later. back to bed for now.

Product Actions
|Prototype Nutrition 3 Spray 240ml
|Amount Per Bottle
|**Daily Values Not Established
|Warning: For topical use only. Not for use by professional athletes or military personnel.
Directions For UseDosing for all PN sprays are designed to be 50 sprays per dose. There are 7.2 grams of actives in the sprays, thus you are looking at approximately 249 mgs of active per 50 sprays. You can apply all at once or split between two applications. We recommend applying directly after a shower when the pores are most receptive, however this is not necessary. Apply 50 sprays over your torso, quads, inner bicep and the tops of hands and feet.
3 Spray contains effective levels of DHEA. Produced in the adrenal glands, DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is the most abundant steroid hormone in the body. It serves as a precursor to androgens and estrogens as well as to other non-hormonal steroids with unique immune-modulatory and metabolic actions. DHEA as well as some of its metabolites also have direct effects on the central nervous system, and have been demonstrated to enhance mood, cognition, and memory processing. The sustained release properties of 3 Spray make it an excellent choice for DHEA supplementation.
This product should be used when wanting to manage hormone levels and boost general well-being and libido.
Since levels of DHEA in the blood often fall as we age, you may choose to supplement DHEA to maintain youthful levels. Particularly effective for older people. We would recommend this product for men. Women should avoid or use with caution.

|Re: launching Ant from a perl script
|Fri, 11 Mar 2005 04:10:11 GMT
The problem is not that ant uses a .bat file, it is that the .bat file uses 'setlocal' and 'endlocal' statements which causes the system to restore old system values, including errorlevel !! Even if you try to call the ant.bat file from another .bat file, you'll get errorlevel set to its previous value, regardless of whether the build failed or not. To overcome this problem I check the log file for the 'BUILD SUCCESSFUL' or 'BUILD FAILED' messages. Here's the function: sub CheckLogFile () { my $logFile = shift; my $logContents; open (LOGFILE, "< $logFile") or die "Could not read log file $logFile\n"; read (LOGFILE, $logContents, -s $logFile); close (LOGFILE); my $msg = "\n".("*" x 60)."\n"; my $fail = undef; if ($logContents =~ /BUILD SUCCESSFUL\n(Total time: .*$)/) { $msg .= "Build completed SUCCESSFULLY\n$1\n"; } else { $msg .= "BUILD FAILED\nSee details in $logFile\n"; $fail = 1; } $msg .= "".("*" x 60)."\n"; if ($fail) { die $msg; } print $msg; } Hope this helps.

Club Stands with House Freedom Caucus
Doug Sachtleben - March 31st, 2017
Club for Growth President David McIntosh appeared on Varney on the Fox Business Network this morning and was asked about the debate over Obamacare repeal and health care reform.
Three Steps the American People Want in Obamacare Repeal
Doug Sachtleben - March 30th, 2017
"We're glad to see Speaker Ryan is ready to work with conservatives to improve Obamacare repeal, and to bring back competition and lower health insurance costs."
Washington, DC – Club for Growth president David McIntosh released the following statement after House Speaker Paul Ryan said he was open to "improvements" to the health care bill:
"We are glad to see Speaker Paul Ryan is ready to work with conservatives to improve Obamacare repeal, and to bring back competition and lower health insurance costs, just as President Trump promised. To do that, the repeal effort needs to include these core principles that will drive down the cost of health insurance:
- Interstate competition in the House or Senate version
- The rollback of more costly Obamacare insurance regulations, which will lead to savings in federal spending on tax credits
- Handling pre-existing conditions with state high-risk pools
"If House leadership remains stuck on an Obamacare bill that does not deal with these issues, Republicans will pay the price in 2018 when health care costs are continuing to spike upward," said Club for Growth president David McIntosh. "Polls show that the American people overwhelmingly rejected last week's flawed House bill. House conservatives are working to fix it, and Speaker Ryan needs to ensure that the House bill is focused on the priorities of the American people."
The Obamacare Repeal Pledge that Conservatives Are Fighting For
Doug Sachtleben - March 28th, 2017
In January 2016, House Speaker Paul Ryan criticized then-President Obama for vetoing the Obamacare repeal passed by the House and Senate, and then said, "We have shown now that there is a clear path to repealing Obamacare without 60 votes in the Senate. So, next year if we're sending this bill to a Republican president, it will get signed into law. Obamacare will be gone."
This was the pledge that should be the baseline of any current Obamacare repeal effort.
(h/t Conservative Review)
The Way Forward for Obamacare Repeal – CFG on Fox Business
Doug Sachtleben - March 24th, 2017
Club for Growth President David McIntosh appeared on Fox Business Network just minutes after the RyanCare bill was pulled from the House floor. He explained that there is path forward for the Trump health care agenda.
Health Care Reform Needs Provisions to Reduce Health Insurance Costs
Doug Sachtleben - March 24th, 2017
Club for Growth President David McIntosh discussed the GOP RyanCare bill Thursday night on Fox News on "First 100 Days,"
with host, Martha MacCallum and Douglas Holtz-Eakin.

It's a dream 20 years in the making.
Jakob Stukel basically grew up in the shadows of General Motors Place, idolizing the Vancouver Canucks.
Last summer, the Canucks selected the hometown kid in the sixth round of the NHL Entry Draft in Buffalo N.Y.
He was fresh off his most productive WHL campaign. It was also the first time he was playing away from home, when the Calgary Hitmen traded for the left-winger 12 games into the season.
After 67 games with the Vancouver Giants, Stukel wasn't getting it done. He only amassed nine goals and 24 points over three seasons.
The trade to Calgary opened up his game and turned him into an offensive juggernaut. He scored 32 goals and 56 points in 57 games in his first season in Calgary to lead the team in scoring.
Stukel was unstoppable on the man advantage. In his first season with the Hitmen, he led the league with 18 power play goals, accounting for half of his goal production. He even finished tied for second in the league with eight game winners, per WHL Stats Pro.
That summer, the Canucks were impressed enough to draft him with the 154th pick.
"I was a big Canuck fan growing up so it was very cool and a dream come true when they selected me," said Stukel.
Stukel grew up playing hockey in the Lower Mainland, played his major midget season with the Valley West Hawks and wound up getting picked 37th overall by the Giants in the 2012 Bantam Draft.
Years later, he returned to the Lower Mainland to attend his first developmental camp with the Canucks last summer and was admittedly star-struck.
"Last year I was just in awe of everyone. I saw guys like Sami Salo and remembered how hard he could shoot the puck and remembered going to watch a pregame skate as a kid, when he flipped me a puck over the glass. It was a little nerve racking being around those guys at times," said Stukel. "This year felt much different. I was much more relaxed, confident and I knew what to expect."
This year's camp ran from July 3 to 7, featuring a series of on-ice practices, off-ice training and team building exercises around the city.
"Coming into the camp for a second time, I wasn't so much worried about results or impressing people like I was last year. They call it a developmental camp for a reason, so I went out and tried to get better everyday. Hopefully that was enough to prove myself to the coaching staff and management," said Stukel, who's favourite Canuck growing up was Markus Naslund.
Despite his parents house being roughly 39-kilometres away from Rogers Arena, Stukel still bunked with the other 36 players at the University of British Columbia dorms at night, as a way to help build team comradery.
The week wrapped up with a scrimmage, splitting the camp into a Blue and White squad. The game took place at Rogers Arena in front of an estimated 6,000 season ticket holders.
"That was my first time on the ice at Rogers Arena. I was in awe of the big building when I first stepped onto the ice, but once the game got going, I became focused and blocked everything out. But it was still a really cool experience," said Stukel.
Like most developmental camps, the Canucks organized a few off-ice activities for the prospects.
On one of their afternoons off, the team split the group into teams of five and raced up Grouse Mountain.
Of course, there was a competitive side to the 1.8-kilometre long hike. The timer stopped for teams once the final player crossed the finish line, making it a team event as opposed to an individual race.
Lucky for Stukel, it is a hike he has done several times in the past and knew all the twists and turns of the mountain. His team ended up in first.
He couldn't say the same thing when the Canucks went whitewater rafting in Whistler.
"I have never done that before, but it is definitely one of the coolest things that I've ever done," said Stukel.
The guides smashed the boats through class 3- and 4-level rapids, nearly knocking a few of the players overboard.
But the most rewarding off-ice trip Stukel went on was when the Canucks paid a visit to the B.C. Children's Hospital.
"We all went there to visit a bunch of the kids. We all took photos with them and handed out tons of Fins. It was pretty neat to see the smiles on all their faces. I definitely think that we made their day," said Stukel.
Once camp ended, it wasn't long until he was back in his familiar bed, recuperating from the challenging week. Back in Surrey and the gym Monday to Friday, he will slowly work his way back onto the ice to get ready for the YoungStars Classic tournament, which goes Sept. 8 to 11 at the South Okanagan Events Centre in Penticton.
The 6-foot, 190-pounder will be in tough against the Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers and Winnipeg Jets top prospects as he looks to solidify his spot at the Canucks main camp towards the end of Sept.
"It would be great to make the Canucks this year, but I know that it's probably unlikely. I'm still only 20 and being at these camps and workout with the Canucks over the past few years has made me realize how much hard work I have to put in the weight room and on the ice in order to get to the next level.
But that isn't for Stukel to worry about. He is focused on training and preparing himself to play wherever he ends up, hopefully, helping him inch closer to living out his dream.
"I don't think I could put into words how much it would mean to me to have a chance at putting the Canucks jersey on everyday. It's something that I've dreamt about my whole life, and now that it's here, I want it more than ever before."

Intelligent solutions for a connected world
The Xyna Konferenz in 2009 was a full success: with more than 170 participants – a plus of more than 30% in comparison to the conference in 2008 – from telecommunications, media, IT and energy industry, a new record number of visitors could be put up in spite of crisis and restrictions regarding the conference budgets of many companies. This is confirmed by the unique adjustment of the conference between innovation, future and practically oriented solutions.
Also this year the GIP Research Institute presented again excluding contributions of leading companies about the topic »Smart Communications«.
Smart Communications means the development of intelligent, user-oriented and integrated communication solutions in an increasingly connected world. The considered spectrum of convergent telecommunication nets in fixed network / cable / mobile communications (Next generation Networks) reaches until new areas of telematics, as for example electric mobility nets and power supply networks (Smart Grids).
The speakers of the conference reported about the varied challenges and demands of smart communication as well as about topical innovation and developing attempts and projects. In the discussion groups which follow after each presentation and during the evening event, valuable suggestions arose as well as starting points for the development and the operation of smart communication solutions of the future.

Prayer Tassel Necklace
I choose beads that are bright and cheery with a playful mix. A reminder to let joy seep in during the trials. To bring love and light to each day.
In case you are wondering about the construction - the beaded strand is on waxed linen, I knotted between the beads.
At the end of the strand I attached it to the ball chain by wrapping and tying it several times around the chain. I added a dot of glue to keep things in place. I threaded the linen through the connector and then trimmed it. I did that for both sides of the necklace and then attached the two sides with a little bit more of the ball chain.
Oh and a really good tip my aunt Rosanne shared with me about the tassels - brush them out with a toothbrush to make them fuller.
Leaf and nest from Stinky Dog Beads. Flower from Gardanne. Ceramic bead: Firefly Designs. Disk Beads and Bird: Humblebeads.
Have you been having fun making these tassels? I know I can't quit!
You are perfectly right,
You are perfectly right, nowadays jewelry can be more than simple accessories meant to enhance our looks, especially handmade ones. Speaking of enhanced looks, the brazilian richmond va resort and spa it's the best place where you can go to restore your inner beauty. Then, you can wear anything you like, you'll still look fabulous.

As 2010 winds to a close, it's time for the annual Sales Machine brand blunder list. It's been a veritable annus horribilis (please note the two n's in that first word) for many brands, but this post contains the blunders that I believe will be remembered as the year's worst.
The final page of this post has a poll for you to vote for your favorite blunder. When there are enough votes to get the readers' opinion, I'll rearrange the list to match YOUR ranking, rather than mine. Also, if I missed a big one, be sure to remind me in a comment!
