Post subject: very useful
These are very useful points. Thanks, tom, for starting the discussion. Let me try to add some of my own 2c.
A "wiki" is very easy to place within Puppy's web presence. Most distros have a wiki and forum in addition to the main website. And speaking of being bullet-proof, Puppy's wikkawiki has proved itself to be (quite) one. (Here, am just trying to state the facts - Lobster is the wiki admin, but I help by adding users manually to help beef up security.)
I guess the only missing service of the current wiki is photo uploading.

This is Really Good Stuff. Well done, and please keep at it. It's easy to get discouraged by negative feedback, and even easier by no feedback!
Ill increment the counter registering those confused by the current setup. Some of it is innocent and caused by outdated links, but some is duplicated such as the Forums (or should that be "Fora"?) - yes there is more than one - and really does need to be sorted.
Don't underestimate the commitment needed to maintain such sites up-to-date. This single statement brings with it a host of spin-off issues:
1. The fewer the admins the easier it is to enforce a common look and feel; stick to policies; keep secure.
2. The fewer the admins the more onerous the task; the more dependent on just a few people (who signed up 'cos they were already fully engaged in the "project" but are busy as it is) and the more likely to get out of date when they are on holiday or get ill or take up a new hobby (or even get a life!).
3. ........and so on.
One paradox is that to keep it secure you'll need fewer admins; and to keep it useful you need more!
There is no solution to this, just a set of compromises which different people judge differently.
I suggest that as active members of the Puppy Community we need a moderated discussion (this thread will do nicely if tombh is willing to continue), a summarised set of proposals (tombh again?) and a preference-indicating mechanism (let's not call it "Voting" 'cos that seems too mechanical, though some sort of ballot might need to be part of the process).
And lastly, all the other sites will need to be re-visited to ensure that they are updated as appropriate and include links to the new main site. This might be quite tricky to accomplish and the owners/admins will all need to be onboard.
A Good and Necessary project in its own right, but not one to be undertaken "lightly, wantonly nor inadvisedly".
PS. Wasn't ttuuxxx looking at doing something similar?

This is just a GREAT start, Tom! Well done! Among the various suggestions, all of which have merit, I think the one I'd see as most important would be cross-browser compatibility, especially with IE6-7. Let's make those refugees drool over Puppy from the get-go!
Keep up the great work. I'm getting
excited by the possibilities here. Well done, again!

looks good, but are you implying the forum, manual, Barry's blog etc would still be off on separate sites?
I guess I'm a stick-in-the-mud; I won't be happy until there's "one site to rule them all". One domain, one registration / login, one look, one menu / navigation.

I've set up another thread --
Puppy Website: Looks, Bugs and Wishlists
-- and renamed this thread to "Puppy Website: Discussion". Don't worry about choosing the right thread, they definitely overlap I know, but it might just help keep things a bit more organised. To start things off on the other thread I've made a list of the current suggestions and answered a few practical points.
So to give an idea of the kind of things we can discuss on this thread I'll briefly outline the ideal Puppy Website!
The ideal Puppy Website will have a design that is simple, yet professional, unique, yet welcoming. There will only be one official community site, it will include the forum and only require one username. It will have a full-time administrator and be hosted by a professional, secure and helpful hosting solution. It will always be up to date and inspire regular contributions from Puppy enthusiasts.
Now, all that may not be possible! But, what I do know is that we already have here everything that is needed to make, at the very least, one unit of improvement to the current situation -- in the sense that more than one person has come forward to freely offer what they can to the project. But of course we should be able to improve things by more than one unit! So the question is
what is a sensible goal to aim for?
My current proto-site is, in a way, my answer to that question, though it makes some assumptions which really need to be tied down to actual people, numbers and resources. I think it would good to, as far as is possible, find out who is willing to contribute something. It doesn't matter what or how much someone can contribute as long as they are able to commit to that. For instance, I know that WhoDo is willing to offer leadership on the project and even though he has not coded any HTML has been of invaluable support to me so far. Also forum member prit1 has been contributing his web programming skills and is learning Drupal.
The other considerations that come to mind are;
*As nic2109 suggested, who and how many are willing/able to take on admin roles and learn a little bit about Drupal?
*Current manual maintainers. I think it is seriously worth thinking about creating a "Manual Editor" role on Drupal that allows a manual to be maintained and updated on-site. Is anyone really willing to do that?
*Is pupplinux.org hosted with the same sorry excuse for a hosting service that Barry uses for his blog? Are they really the best people to invest all our hard work in? What other hosting solutions are there?

agreed...one site to rule the roost so to speak and be "official" and secure!!..with mirrors for each continent as in one for North America, one for east Asia/Australia,one for South America and one for European countries so users have a somewhat local connection to Puppy with a common interface and common updates.
I wanted a professional to handle security and the like for months now and have emailed and pm'd to various puppy people..the problem is how to pay a pro and which pro to use. I have delved into this a bit as my intention for puppylinux.ca is along the lines of your design.
My project from the start was to provide space and bandwidth...not a new web page for users. My server will be available for whatever fills the need of the direction this is taking.
My opinion is, this direction is a must have. Well done.

Puppy linux is blah blah and was created by Barry Kauler. Barry maintains his own site (link). Puppy is such a corker [...] For further info about the site, contact xxxxx.
I think that paragraph was spot on! I wish I had had something like that to introduce me into the world of Puppy! We are, after all, designing the 'front door' here.
@Caneri: So are you offering your server as a possible host for the website? I'm sure it could handle the bandwidth, but that's quite a lot of responsibility to take on, on your part. There's the keeping up to date with security patches, regular backups, do you have PHP and MySQL installed too? Then we would also need to redirect puppylinux.org on DNS.
The other option is choosing another hosting provider, they are relatively inexpensive, I know that in the UK, a hosting package to suit Puppy's needs wouldn't cost more than £50 a year.
@Community: There has been a lot of good feedback, but does anyone have any feelings the other way? Any concerns, doubts, etc. Your contributions would be very welcome.
And generally, if there is anyone out there who doesn't feel it's there place or that their thoughts don't amount to much, then please don't let that stop you. Just because you've never posted before doesn't mean that your thoughts don't count!

Hi Thomas,
My host is pretty much full featured with php5,database,Drupal,Joomla,Photogallery software from Coppermine etc etc.
One good thing about my server is it's located in Canada which means there is no country in the world that is banned from access.
I also find the support quite good. I have always had a solution to problems.
Look here
This is my setup...and it's a Linux server which is good. Click on applications on demand for a list of software available.

Hi guys.
I'm loving this discussion and feel it is a really iportant one to be having for this community. I think that what we really all seem to want is continuity. We want all the various sites to fuse together in one big place so that the brand new user and the experienced community member alike can get what they need. My opinion is that we need a site wide header/menu that would carry across to all apsects of the community.
See below a quick mockup of what I mean:
Wiki Home:
Forums Home:
Case example: Think how the Ubuntu wiki (
) header/tabs work. You always know how to get everywhere else.
What do people think?

Post subject: session or cookie flag
I like it, too.
Using this feature means a page modification for all Puppy sites (wiki, forum, blog), and autohide would require the addition of a session/cookie flag and a Hide/Unhide button. Did I miss the code by LOF?
Added: Maybe "Support" will be better than "Shop", where we list willing Puppians in different continents?

Difference between Laptops and Tablets
Laptops and netbooks, however similar, are quite different than tablets. The most popular tablet is the Apple iPad, although companies such as Dell, Acer, Hewlett-Packard, Samsung, and Motorola have brought out their own tablets. If you want a side-by-side comparison of tablets, visit Tablet PC Comparison.
Input device: Tablets take their primary input from their touchscreens. With a tablet, there is no keyboard and no mouse (although you can purchase a wireless keyboard to use with your tablet if you like). Instead, you tap the screen to make choices and enter text.
Tablets do not typically have a keyboard, mouse, or DVD drive. Their screens are their primary input device. They may have a camera that takes photos and video, however.
Outside connection: Tablets connect to the Internet using either Wi-Fi or 3G technologies (3G is what your cellphone uses to connect virtually anywhere). 3G models require that you pay for your connection time through some kind of cellphone carrier.
Primary function: Tablets were first designed as devices for consuming media — ebooks, movies, and music — and for playing games, browsing the Internet, or retrieving e-mail.
Although you can do moderate word processing and number crunching with a tablet, they were not designed for that and you'll probably find a laptop much better suited to the task. However, if you want a super lightweight device to browse the Internet, send and receive e-mail, and peruse content like ebooks, music, or movies, a tablet might be just right.
Operating system: Desktops, laptops, and netbooks use computer operating systems; tablets typically use smartphone operating systems, so they work differently.
Size and weight: Tablets come in different sizes such as 7 inch or 10 inch and weigh far less than a laptop.
Screen resolution and processing speed: As with a laptop, tablet screens have different resolutions, meaning that some have crisper-looking graphics than others; they have their own processors (different from those used in laptops), some being faster than others; their memory capacity will almost always be smaller than a laptop and can range from 8 GB to 64 GB; and their battery life is typically longer than most laptops.

Hello Steve,and others thanks.
I was not able to get reference on heat equation which was suggested earlier.
Also the links that was proposed on wike are general and nothing rigours for 2D discrete random walk.
As everyone asked about the question was not clear. All I am looking is analytical approach to solve the 2D, symmetric, unbiased,discrete random walk within a bounded first quadrant regions. The boundary are reflecting boundary. The particle starts at location (x1,y1) and the target is at location b (x2,y2), the particle has to reach within time interval "T".
The same condition i wanted to continuous random walk. The reflecting boundaries can be considered here as optional.
First i want to consider for unbounded 2-D random walk, Symmetric random walk. Then i want to consider bounded 1st quadrant random walk.

"Chibnall has produced a very engaging and informative general study of the Normans." History
"A marvellous overview of the Normans written by a preeminent scholar of the Anglo-Norman realm ... While much of the Norman story is well known, Chibnall's study brings it all together in one graceful package. Her emphasis on the kingdom of Sicily is a useful corrective to our usual concentration on the Anglo-Norman realm. Equally valuable is her emphasis on kinship networks and the importance of the church within Norman society. This attempt to present a balanced view of the Norman world may be the single most valuable quality to this work. The Normans is an excellent introduction for the student of this remarkable people."

Game #83: Jays at A's pregame
Toronto (40-42) at Oakland (42-40)
at 10:05 p.m. ET at McAfee Coliseum
Today's lineups:
Vernon Wells, CF
Gregg Zaun, C
Alex Rios, RF
Troy Glaus, 3B
Frank Thomas, DH
Matt Stairs, 1B
Aaron Hill, 2B
Adam Lind, LF
John McDonald, SS
PITCHING: RHP Jesse Litsch
Shannon Stewart, LF
Mark Kotsay, CF
Nick Swisher, RF
Jack Cust, DH
Eric Chavez, 3B
Dan Johnson, 1B
Mark Ellis, 2B
Bobby Crosby, SS
Jason Kendall, C
PITCHING: RHP Joe Blanton
NOTES: 1B Lyle Overbay took BP on the field prior to Tuesday's game and put on a show. He peppered the bleachers with homer after homer and reported to pain afterward. He's still having some issues with hand strength while gripping the bat, but nothing major. Overbay said he'll likely head out on a Minor League rehab assignment this weekend and could be back with the Jays for the Boston series after the break. … LF Reed Johnson began his Minor League rehab with Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday night. … The Toronto chapter of the BBWAA named Frank Thomas and Shaun Marcum the Jays' Player and Pitcher of the Month for June. … RHP Roy Halladay ranks behind Boston's Hideki Okajima and Detroit's Jeremy Bonderman in the Final Vote race for the last All-Star roster spot. … Toronto manager John Gibbons hinted that C/1B Curtis Thigpen and LF Adam Lind might be headed back to Triple-A when Overbay and Johnson are both back in Toronto uniforms. … LHP Gustavo Chacin is slated to throw off a mound again on Thursday.

Looked to me like they mailed it in today; no energy no motivation. Two errors which gave up two runs, and frankly should have been 3 errors not 2.
"1 earned run, and we lose."
Great start from Jessie. 4 hits from this lineup!!!!!
Last year the jays struggled with pitching but the offence was one of the best (if not the best in the league). When the jays missed out on Lilly and Meche, I thought they were going to have the same problem. Then I saw them get the big hurt and I thought that the offence was going to be even better. But who knew that the pitching was going to be great and the offence was going to stink.
I can't help but wonder why a lineup like the one Gibbons put out there yesterday who get paid between them minus the pitcher or pinchhiters about 37mil.per year can't hit that dam round ball with that stupid round bat.That game made me sick last night Jessie did not deserve that outcome.This team needs motivation they don't seem to be getting it from the people in place now. I don't know about the rest of you but i think they have to make some changes now or all is lost. gsummer summed it up with one word -PATHETIC-
I believe gibbons need to get out of Toronto. I think any other manager would be able to handle this team better.

Kholin 66: Diaries and Poems by Igor Kholin, translated from the Russian by Ainsley Morse and Bela Shayevich, Ugly Duckling Presse.
Reviewed by Paul Worley, Editor-at-Large, Mexico
English language readers already enamored of poets such as the Roman Catullus or the more recent Charles Bukowski will find a similarly humorous, difficult, and enthralling companion in the pages of Russian Igor Kholin's (1920-1999) recently translated Kholin 66: Diaries and Poems from Ugly Duckling Presse. An autodidact whose experiences in the military included a near-death experience in World War II, Kholin in many ways perhaps serves as a vital counterpoint to the American Bukowski insofar as both writers, despite the fact that they are writing throughout the Cold War between their respective countries, cast an unrelentingly critical gaze on the societies they inhabit, bearing witness to abuse, the dirty, and the neglected, and rendering these as poetry. The translators note that although Kholin's "occasionally unrestrained misogyny" may rankle the sensibilities of many readers, they nonetheless felt compelled to leave his attitude in their translation as "it seems to constitute part and parcel of his self-positioning and character" (9). Along those lines and, in tandem with Bukowski, one also wonders about the extent to which the writer's misogyny is not a gendered version of a broader misanthropy from which the poet does not even exclude himself. After all, the poetic Kholin muses on the possibility that thinking he is "a creep…It's not such a leap" (80), as well as understanding he is one for whom wine is "made" and shit is "laid" (85). As he criticizes his social circle for their faults and flaws in his diary, a passage written in a friend's handwriting takes on the subject of Kholin himself, claiming the poet is "intellectually limited" (46) and that his "advice on writing is naive" (48). Perhaps unsurprisingly, marginal notes in the poet's own hand describe these as "the best thing Yodkovsky [the friend] has ever written" (49).

FAA Readies to Close Dozens of Air Traffic Control Towers
(NEW YORK) -- One of the first major impacts from Washington's budget sequestration will soon kick in as the Federal Aviation Administration gets ready to close dozens of air traffic control towers.
Of the 189 airports on the FAA's original list of potential tower shut-downs, 149 have landed on the final roster. Most of them are in small to mid-sized communities, such as Danbury, Connecticut, but a few that serve fairly sizable communities -- Topeka, Kansas, Branson, Missouri, and Boca Raton, Florida, for example -- will all see at least their secondary airports lose their control towers. The head of the FAA said the agency will work with all 149 areas to ensure air safety at soon-to-be-uncontrolled airports.
Paul Estefan, Airport Administrator at Danbury Municipal airport in Connecticut, which serves 13 operators, said all traffic will be handled by radio with New York. This could present safety issues, he said, especially on hazy days when "a pilot's flying in the area and the controller's not there to point out additional traffic based on the radar screen they have in front of them in our control tower."
The FAA had given the airports a chance to appeal the decision in early March if they could prove it would be an issue of national interest. Estefan said he wrote to the FAA under that issue and they responded Friday, telling him and five other Connecticut airports that they didn't make it. The FAA decided to keep 24 towers open under the national interest issue.
The airport towers confirmed to shut down are scheduled to close on April 7.

A University of Wyoming poll shows that a strong majority of residents continue to disapprove of the federal Affordable Care Act.
The health care reform law is opposed by 66 percent of the poll respondents, compared to 24 percent who approve.
The law was enacted in 2010. A similar survey conducted two years ago showed almost identical results.
UW political science director Jim King says the poll indicates that support for the health care law remains more unpopular in Wyoming than in the U.S. as a whole.
The statewide telephone survey of 668 Wyoming citizens was conducted in October by UW's Survey Research Center. The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

The Lineup Card
8 Interesting NRIs
1. Scott Kazmir
Kazmir's career then gradually went downhill. He hit rock bottom in 2011 when he made one start for the Angels and was banished to the minor leagues despite having a $12 million salary. He has not pitched in a major-league game since, and he spent last season with the Sugar Land Skeeters—Roger Clemens' team—in the independent Atlantic League, posting a 5.14 ERA in 14 games.
The Indians signed Kazmir to a minor-league contract this offseason, and he will be in major-league camp. Kazmir figures to get a legitimate chance to win a spot in the starting rotation because the Indians' pitching depth is thin. The odds seem stacked against Kazmir, though. If he couldn't get Atlantic League hitters out with any consistency, it stands to reason he would have a hard time with big-leaguers. Nevertheless, it's an interesting low-risk gamble and, though it seems eons ago since he was a rising star, Kazmir is still just 29 years old. —John Perrotto
2. Nelson Figueroa
He was in camp with the Blue Jays last year and never played a game in their organization, and ever seeing Phoenix is a steep long shot. But he'll find someplace this year. Whether it's Reno or another repeat, he'll find a place where they need a 39-year-old who is smart enough to get Triple-A hitters out, who can pitch every fifth game because it's on the schedule, who won't get hurt, and who is a magnet in the clubhouse. Realistically, Figueroa's last act in the majors was probably the eight games for the 2011 Astros in which he posted an 8.69 ERA throwing 87-88 mph and a billion breaking balls, but he isn't ready for that to be the end. —Zachary Levine
3. Addison Russell
A graduate of Pace High School in Florida, Russell could be a watershed player for the A's, who have traditionally steered clear of teenagers and emphasized collegiate talent in the amateur draft. The last prep-school prospect that the Athletics drafted, developed, and graduated to the majors in Oakland was right-hander Trevor Cahill. The last position player? You'd have to go all the way back to Eric Chavez, the 10th overall pick in 1996, who debuted on Sept. 8, 1998.
And that's why Russell, who was also the first high-school position player that the A's have selected with their top draft choice since Chavez, is poised to create a stir at the team's camp in Phoenix. He won't make the team this year, and ge still has a long way to go before a ticket to The Show is in order, but Russell is Oakland's best hope to snap the streak and add more flash to a Yoenis Cespedes-led lineup in the coming seasons. —Daniel Rathman
4. Aaron Cook
So Aaron Cook is like you or me in that he can't strike out major-league hitters. He's not like you or me in that he can sometimes, occasionally, get major-league hitters to get themselves out. This makes him different from you and me, though really not all that different. You and me, we like players like us. We like players who show us that we could be major-league players ourselves even though we can't. Aaron Cook might just be the closest to you and I left in the major leagues. He's hooked on with the Phillies, the new team of Delmon Young and Michael Young. On such a team there might just be room for Aaron Cook yet. Here's hoping so. For our sake. —Matthew Kory
5. Rick Ankiel
Except that it wasn't. He went back down to the minors and focused on offense, turning himself into a decent hitter with some power who was athletic enough to play a league-average center and re-emerged at age 27 as a semi-regular and even had a couple of good years. The past few years have seen a drop-off in Ankiel's production at the plate, and now he's hanging on by a thread, but he made it. There was even a rumor floating around that if the whole outfield thing didn't work, he might give pitching another try. It probably won't happen (he hasn't pitched in most of a decade), but if it did, how awesome would that story be? —Russell A. Carleton
6. Pedro Feliciano
In 2010, Feliciano dominated left-handed hitters (.211/.297/.276 over 139 PAs), but he struggled against right-handers (.336/.436/.395 over 141 PAs). His velocity was down when he made a few rehab appearances later in 2012, and he's a long shot to make it back to his former glory days, but the southpaw is an interesting player who has a chance to add something to the cross-town rivalry if he can get back to the majors with the Amazins. —Hudson Belinsky
7. Bobby Crosby
Crosby missed 63 games due to injury in 2006, and 62 in 2007. The next year he remained mostly healthy, but his skills had eroded: At age 28, he hit .237/.296/.349 with seven homers and a pedestrian 0.9 WARP. After another disappointing season in Oakland, the team that had taken Crosby with the 25th pick overall out of Long Beach State let him go.
Crosby signed with the Pirates in December 2009. He did very little for four months before being traded to Arizona, where he did even less and was released after only a few weeks. He followed that by not playing baseball in 2011 and 2012.
This spring he's back with the Brewers as a non-roster invitee. It's hard to imagine that the now-33-year-old Crosby has anything left to offer, but Milwaukee needs infielders and, well, he used to be one of those. —Geoff Young
8. Yangervis Solarte
Solarte is no shortstop, so he likely won't make the Rangers team out of camp, but entering his age-25 season, there's always the chance he gets a cup of coffee as a utility bat, because, man, can he...well, you know the rest... —Mike Ferrin

Great idea, and interesting choices. Rick Ankiel is a great story, and as an A's fan I also am intrigued by the Bobby Crosby invitation. A fun way to get ready for pitchers and catchers to report!

Tampa Sickles knew coming into the game that they had to be careful with the ball and keep the game at a low scoring pace against Winter Haven if they had a chance of winning the 5A semi-final game. Sickles was able to succeed in keeping the score low but, a season high 27 turnovers doomed the Gryphons as they lost 50- 42 to Winter Haven.

Alaska Native Claims THE PROMISE OF TOMORROW by ROBERT PARKER/Editor The ceiling is 1,000 feet. Mist hangs over the hills. Below lies the fishing village of Port Graham, 150 miles southwest of Anchorage, Alaska. The single-prop four-seater descends between the hills, touches on the gravel runway, and taxies toward a man and a boy waiting at the clearing. Port Graham is one of 200 native villages in Alaska, and its people are among the 76,000 Alaskan natives to receive money and land from the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA). Passed by the US Congress in 1971, the act reimburses natives for aboriginal claims to land purchased from Russia a century ago. This is the first visit to the village for Julie Dallas and Todd Resch, two young auditors from the Touche Ross Anchorage office. Their host is Jim La Belle, president of the village cor-poration established under ANCSA. The nation's headlines have featured the oil discovered on Alaska's northern slope and the 798-mile pipeline being built to carry this oil to the ice-free port of Valdez. But equally significant to the economy of the state is nearly $1 billion and 40 million acres of land awarded to Alaska's natives by ANCSA, Some of ^gaifis; a background of fishing nets are three images of Port Graham. From top: a fishing boat circles the harbor on a gloomy day; three cousins, from left, Elmer and ]o-]o Tabios, with Kermit La Belle; rows of fishing boats are drydocked for the winter. the money is to be distributed to each native; the balance will be retained in regional and village corporations owned by native shareholders. Port Graham's population of 150 people earns its living from the sea, primarily salmon fishing that keeps its cannery busy six weeks a year. But many of its citizens, and a portion of the 60,000 natives (Eskimos, Indians, and Aleuts) still living in Alaska, are caught in an economic trap. A modern economy and govern-mental influence have been forcing them to change in recent decades from a subsistence life style of hunt-ing and Ashing to a cash economy in which they must purchase material goods to satisfy new expectations. The issue strikes to the heart of their culture. As the caribou, moose, and salmon diminish, as the educated youth lose their subsistence skills, can—or should—the traditional way of life survive? The main street of Port Graham is unpaved. Children splash in pud-dles. Behind them, the wooden houses are old and weather-beaten. Only the roar of a generator spreads the twentieth century through the trees. The mood is one of isolation, peace, and untapped potential. "We 're catching up with Anchorage," Jim LaBelle tells the two auditors. "Five years ago, we didn't have electricity, water, or sewers. Now, we a/so have a new school, and phone lines are coming." Today, the challenge to native leaders like LaBelle is from economic forces that threaten to pre-empt the natives' control over their own future. 25

T WEST- Thanks for asking about the show! My RE was contacted by the WE channel over the summer and they are doing a special on IVF and more specifically on embryo donation. My RE is really taking a stand on embryo distruction. He refuses to destroy leftover embryos, they either have to be donated to a person or science if you do not have a use for them. He believes that we created these living entities and to destroy them would be wrong. DH and I decided that if we have any unused embryos that we would donate them to someone and give them the opportunity to have children also. There is a long waiting list for embryo adoption and lots of women out there that would not be able to experience pregnancy or having a baby without this adoption process. Anyway, they asked us to be in the show and we said yes (this was back in September) They came to our house and interviewed us and recorded an office visit (the one where they tell you if and when you'll be having your transfer). The cameras taped the u/s and everything (vaginal remember back then?!) obviously they didn't see my whoowho but it was still really wierd aving them in the room with me spread eagle in stirrups lol. They've been all over the country interviewing couples going through the embryo adoption process at different stages and although we did not need to adopt an embryo I guess where we fit in was the fact that we were willing to give ours up for adoption if we have any left.
I just got word today that they are coming back in town and want to record an u/s and my RE offered a complimentary u/s to us. So they are going to do a follow up since the IVF worked! All of this was supposed to air in January but it's been pushed back now to mid-late March. Last time I spoke with the producer she said our piece came out really good and we were going to be the first couple to be featured on the show. As soon as I find out exactly when it will air, I will let everyone know. I can't wait to see it either!!!
They have a show coming out about endomitriosis also which sounded extremely interesting (especially to me since that is my issue).
shelbyrn0214- Yes they will be using our names. Amy and Walt Costello:) Hopefully it won't be delayed again. I'll let you know as soon as I know anything else!
Hope everyone is well and babys are growing healthy and strong

This information is produced and provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The information in this topic may have changed since it was written. For the most current information, contact the National Cancer Institute via the Internet web site at http://cancer.gov or call 1-800-4-CANCER.
Screening is looking for cancer before a person has any symptoms. This can help find cancer at an early stage. When abnormal tissue or cancer is found early, it may be easier to treat. By the time symptoms appear, cancer may have begun to spread.
Scientists are trying to better understand which people are more likely to get certain types of cancer. They also study the things we do and the things around us to see if they cause cancer. This information helps doctors recommend who should be screened for cancer, which screening tests should be used, and how often the tests should be done.
It is important to remember that your doctor does not necessarily think you have cancer if he or she suggests a screening test. Screening tests are given when you have no cancer symptoms.
If a screening test result is abnormal, you may need to have more tests done to find out if you have cancer. These are called diagnostic tests.
Ovarian cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the ovaries.
The ovaries are a pair of organs in the female reproductive system. They are located in the pelvis, one on each side of the uterus (the hollow, pear-shaped organ where a fetus grows). Each ovary is about the size and shape of an almond. The ovaries produce eggs and female hormones (chemicals that control the way certain cells or organs function).Anatomy of the female reproductive system. The organs in the female reproductive system include the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and vagina. The uterus has a muscular outer layer called the myometrium and an inner lining called the endometrium.
See the following PDQ summaries for more information about ovarian cancer:
In the United States, ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in women.
Ovarian cancer is also the leading cause of death from cancer of the female reproductive system. Since 1992, the number of new cases of ovarian cancer has gone down slightly. The number of deaths from ovarian cancer has slightly decreased since 2002.
Age and a family history of ovarian cancer can affect the risk of developing ovarian cancer.
Anything that increases your chance of getting a disease is called a risk factor. Risk factors for ovarian cancer include the following:
Certain factors may decrease a woman's risk of developing ovarian cancer. Women who have taken oral contraceptives ("the pill"), given birth, breast -fed, or had a tubal ligation or hysterectomy have a lower than average risk of developing ovarian cancer. Prophylactic oophorectomy (removal of healthy ovaries) decreases ovarian cancer risk in women who have an altered gene related to breast cancer.
Tests are used to screen for different types of cancer.
Some screening tests are used because they have been shown to be helpful both in finding cancers early and in decreasing the chance of dying from these cancers. Other tests are used because they have been shown to find cancer in some people; however, it has not been proven in clinical trials that use of these tests will decrease the risk of dying from cancer.
Scientists study screening tests to find those with the fewest risks and most benefits. Cancer screening trials also are meant to show whether early detection (finding cancer before it causes symptoms) decreases a person's chance of dying from the disease. For some types of cancer, finding and treating the disease at an early stage may result in a better chance of recovery.
There is no standard or routine screening test for ovarian cancer.
Screening for ovarian cancer has not been proven to decrease the death rate from the disease.
Screening for ovarian cancer is under study and there are screening clinical trials taking place in many parts of the country. Information about ongoing clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Tests that may detect (find) ovarian cancer are being studied:
Pelvic exam
A pelvic exam is an exam of the vagina, cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and rectum. The doctor or nurse inserts one or two lubricated, gloved fingers of one hand into the vagina and the other hand is placed over the lower abdomen to feel the size, shape, and position of the uterus and ovaries. A speculum is also inserted into the vagina and the doctor or nurse looks at the vagina and cervix for signs of disease. Pelvic exam. A doctor or nurse inserts one or two lubricated, gloved fingers of one hand into the vagina and presses on the lower abdomen with the other hand. This is done to feel the size, shape, and position of the uterus and ovaries. The vagina, cervix, fallopian tubes, and rectum are also checked.
Ovarian cancer is usually advanced when detected by a pelvic exam.
Transvaginal ultrasound
Transvaginal ultrasound (TVU) is a procedure used to examine the vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes, and bladder. An ultrasound transducer (probe) is inserted into the vagina and used to bounce high-energy sound waves (ultrasound) off internal tissues or organs and make echoes. The echoes form a picture of body tissues called a sonogram. Transvaginal ultrasound. An ultrasound probe connected to a computer is inserted into the vagina and is gently moved to show different organs. The probe bounces sound waves off internal organs and tissues to make echoes that form a sonogram (computer picture).
CA-125 assay
A CA 125 assay is a test that measures the level of CA 125 in the blood. CA 125 is a substance released by cells into the bloodstream. An increased CA-125 level is sometimes a sign of certain types of cancer, including ovarian cancer, or other conditions.
Scientists at the National Cancer Institute studied the combination of using TVU and CA-125 levels as a way to screen for and prevent deaths from ovarian cancer. The results of this study showed no decrease in deaths from ovarian cancer.
Screening tests have risks.
Decisions about screening tests can be difficult. Not all screening tests are helpful and most have risks. Before having any screening test, you may want to discuss the test with your doctor. It is important to know the risks of the test and whether it has been proven to reduce the risk of dying from cancer.
The risks of ovarian screening tests include the following:
Finding ovarian cancer may not improve health or help a woman live longer.
Screening may not improve your health or help you live longer if you have advanced ovarian cancer or if it has already spread to other places in your body.
Some cancers never cause symptoms or become life-threatening, but if found by a screening test, the cancer may be treated. It is not known if treatment of these cancers would help you live longer than if no treatment were given, and treatments for cancer may have serious side effects.
False-negative test results can occur.
Screening test results may appear to be normal even though ovarian cancer is present. A woman who receives a false-negative test result (one that shows there is no cancer when there really is) may delay seeking medical care even if she has symptoms.
False-positive test results can occur.
Screening test results may appear to be abnormal even though no cancer is present. A false-positive test result (one that shows there is cancer when there really isn't) can cause anxiety and is usually followed by more tests (such as a laparoscopy or a laparotomy to see if cancer is present), which also have risks. An unnecessary oophorectomy (removal of one or both ovaries) may also result.
Your doctor can advise you about your risk for ovarian cancer and your need for screening tests.

Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients and those who are at risk for cancer. During screening clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new screening method and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new method is better than one currently being used, the new method may become "standard." People who are at high risk for a certain type of cancer may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial.
Listings of clinical trials are included in PDQ and are available online at NCI's Web site. Descriptions of the trials are available in health professional and patient versions. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

A Complete Guide To Finding A Job On Facebook
As much as you may want to resist giving your Facebook page a professional makeover, we cannot overlook its potential as the largest network of them all in the job search.Recently, LinkedIn has recorded 150 million members and Twitter claims to have 140 million active users. But Facebook is the social media powerhouse home to 845 million users.Company presence on Facebook is growing rapidly and you better believe hiring managers are going to browse through your profile to see if you are a good fit for their position. Rather than viewing this as a threatening reality, turn the tables around and recognize Facebook as an invaluable tool to land your next job.Here is your complete guide to finding a job on Facebook:1. Choose your profile picture and cover photo wisely. A picture speaks a thousand words. Unless you specifically changed your privacy settings, an employer's first judgment of you on Facebook comes from these two chosen pictures.To make a thoughtful decision, ask yourself if you would mind having this picture represent you if you were to inquire about a job posting on the company's Facebook page. As for your cover photo, don't be afraid to use this to express yourself (appropriately). If you dream of living and working in the Big Apple someday, your employers in NYC will be sure to notice the city skyline as your cover photo.2. Be a known job hunter. People we friend on Facebook are typically individuals whom we know well. Who better to help you in your job search than people you have already established a relationship with?Update your network of your current job search frequently via Facebook statuses or even personal messages. Your closest friends and family, and even friends of friends will now know you are on the job hunt. This is networking at its finest. As word of mouth is still the best way to land your next job, you never know who might have a good lead.3. Optimize your profile. Be sure your profile is up-to-date and use the information section to your advantage. Update it with your job history and link your network to your personal work (online portfolios, blogs, etc.). While you may choose to have photos tagged of you set to "friends only", make the professional aspects of your Facebook profile public for potential employers to view.4. "Like" ideal companies in your industry. By "liking" company pages, you will now be presented with recent news and job openings directly on your Facebook feed. Do not hesitate to participate in conversations by commenting on interesting stories and posts to increase your visibility with employees at the company. Also, as the company shares their trends and happenings with you, you will begin to discover the company culture.5. "Friend" using discretion. Although it may not be in your best interest to connect with every potential client or hiring manager you come across on Facebook, doing so in moderation can help accelerate your job search. "Friend" the individuals you know personally or have a relationship with already to strengthen your professional network.5. Manage your privacy settings. Facebook's ever-changing policies make it difficult for users to stay current with the best ways to protect personal information. According to a recent Consumer Reports survey, nearly 13 million U.S. Facebook users are not aware of the social network's privacy control settings or simply don't use them at all. The confusing nature of the policies and controls may be the reason millions of Facebook users ignore the privacy settings, but here are simple rules to abide by:If you want to utilize Facebook in your job search, let employers find you.Don't be unsearchable; rather, limit the content visible to certain parties.Choose "friends only" in your privacy settings for information you do not want to be made public. That way, your employer will not come across photos tagged of you or inappropriate comments posted on your wall by your friends when they search you on Facebook.6. Don't lose yourself. This may come as a surprise to you, but making your Facebook a valuable job search tool does not mean you have to adopt the "old-school" mentality and take all of the fun out of one of your favorite pastimes.When making your profile professional, be sure not to wipe out your character. According to a young female working as a gatekeeper to employment for thousands of New Yorkers, "There's a sense that a profile with no character has probably been scraped of some racy stuff or else the person has no social skills and won't fit in." With all of this talk of building a professional character on your Facebook page, do not forget to express yourself along the way.7. Remember, you have options. If you are still hesitant to make your personal profile public, create a page instead. By creating a Facebook page, you can display any information you'd like a potential employer to see such as a biography, skills, websites, contact information, and more. You can also link to other pages you "like" by clicking "Add to my page's favorites" on the chosen page to clearly define your network.Last but not least, no whining or negativity allowed! Make a note-to-self not to fall victim to the most common mistakes job seekers make on Facebook.If you are not careful, Facebook can be the downfall in landing your next job. Keep it appropriate and leverage it to be a force in your job search.What does Facebook mean to you? How have you leveraged the largest social network in your job search? Let us know below.

Wacha can't hold early lead as Cards fall
ST. PETERSBURG -- Michael Wacha had made 13 starts this season, none of which had he ended with more than three runs allowed. And so it was with an early three-run cushion against a team that hadn't scored since Saturday that Wacha looked to be sitting pretty in the Cardinals' attempt at a fourth consecutive road win.
But then the Rays snuck a few balls through for hits and drew a couple of fourth-inning walks, all of which compounded a frame in which Tampa Bay did all the necessary scoring to steal a 6-3 win from the Cardinals on Wednesday.View Full Game Coverage
ST. PETERSBURG -- Michael Wacha had made 13 starts this season, none of which had he ended with more than three runs allowed. And so it was with an early three-run cushion against a team that hadn't scored since Saturday that Wacha looked to be sitting pretty in the Cardinals' attempt at a fourth consecutive road win.
But then the Rays snuck a few balls through for hits and drew a couple of fourth-inning walks, all of which compounded a frame in which Tampa Bay did all the necessary scoring to steal a 6-3 win from the Cardinals on Wednesday.View Full Game Coverage
"It's very frustrating," Wacha later said. "Just too many mistakes. It was either a ball or right down the middle tonight."
The Rays, who hadn't scored in 31 consecutive innings, had more success in one inning against Wacha than any other team had this year. Their four-run fourth also snapped the Cardinals' own scoreless pitching streak at 30 innings. The Cardinals, playing in front of 15,930 at Tropicana Field, finished this three-city Interleague swing with a 4-3 record.
Some of the team's best played baseball of the season came over the weekend in Toronto, though those shutout wins were bookended also by some ragged play. The Cardinals labored to get through Kansas City with a split and just narrowly escaped with a win in the first game of this abbreviated series.
The Cardinals, who have now checked off three of their four scheduled three-city road trips, have a 10-game homestand awaiting.
"Today was just one of those days -- it's not going to happen very often -- Michael has been very consistent, regardless of what his record shows, he's done a nice job keeping us in games," manager Mike Matheny said. "Tonight was one of the blips on the screen that you just have to get past."
Tampa Bay didn't exactly batter Wacha, but the Rays had fortuitous placement on a few balls put in play. It began with James Loney's excuse-me swing that resulted in a squibbler single down the third-base line. Ben Zobrist then dropped a ball just over the head of shortstop Jhonny Peralta, who also came up just inches short of nabbing Matt Joyce's hit to center.
Joyce's two-out single brought home the Rays' first run in four days. The Cardinals aided in allowing Yunel Escobar to score from first on the hit, too, as center fielder Peter Bourjos bobbled on the pickup and Allen Craig dropped the cutoff throw.
"I'm trying to get it in to get the guy going first-to-third there," Bourjos said, "and it clanked off the glove a little bit."
Of the next 10 pitches Wacha threw, only two were strikes, indicative of the trouble he had all night with his fastball command. Those consecutive walks loaded the bases for Desmond Jennings, who delivered the go-ahead two-run single. Wacha, who threw 48 pitches in the other four innings of his five-inning outing, needed 34 to get through that nine-hitter frame.
"Those hits can be frustrating, but they're in every single game so you can't let them get to you," Wacha said. "That's whenever you have to bear down as a pitcher and start making pitches. I just wasn't able to do that."
He never did establish much of a rhythm and was described as "jumpy" by his manager. He had trouble locating the fastball, which in turn reduced the effectiveness of his changeup. Wacha had a decent curveball to work with, but couldn't survive without his two best pitches.
Wednesday ended up being the first of Wacha's 29 career Major League appearances in which he didn't record a strikeout. He threw just 44 of his 82 pitches for strikes, and the Rays nagged him for four walks.
"Those walks, those are usually a sign that something is not quite right," Matheny said. "It's just one of those days where it just didn't click. Those happen."
Wacha's vulnerability cost the Cardinals the three-run advantage built up early against Rays starter Erik Bedard. A two-out double by Yadier Molina in the third plated two runs. Matt Carpenter's single an inning later added another.
They could not, however, add to that total in five innings against the bullpen. The Cardinals' best chance for more came as they loaded the bases in the fifth. But Bourjos, the nine-hole hitter, lined Brad Boxberger's two-strike fastball to right-center, only to watch outfielder Kevin Kiermaier make a sprawling catch in the air to rob him of at least a game-tying hit and end the threat.
Kiermaier had more ground than usual to cover, as he had just scooted a few steps over toward the right-field line so he wouldn't get beat to that side.
"I lost it for a split second, and I knew I was going to have to lay out for it," Kiermaier said. "I saw it just in time to know where it was going to be and made a dive."
"Pretty spectacular," Bourjos said of the highlight grab. Matheny called it a "Superman play."
In the box score, however, it looks like just another missed chance by Bourjos. It marked the fifth straight at-bat Bourjos took with a runner on base, going back to Tuesday. He didn't record a hit in any of them.
"It's tough not to be able to come through," said Bourjos, now batting .213 on the season. "I'm trying not to put too much pressure on myself and instead stay within myself in those spots."
Tampa Bay padded its lead with two seventh-inning runs off reliever Carlos Martinez, who allowed three straight to reach with one out. The Rays got to him, too, in part thanks to a free pass.
The Cardinals, in turn, left 11 runners on base, including at least one in each of the first seven innings.
"We had some balls hit hard," Matheny said, "but just couldn't put anything together on a good run."

Though I think that it's useful to provide information on what the tag is about, always displaying it on top of the page is really annoying.
Can you move it to a side space?
For me, having tag info at the top of the page means that I see one less question when I browse to a page, and because I usually know what java or c usually means I don't need to be reminded every time I see the page.

American Sniper is an engaging glimpse into the head of an iconic soldier Chris Kyle , a Navy Seal veteran and a badass sniper. The biopic juggles between his love life, his sniping badassery, his fame and the mental state aftermath war that had him vexed for a while. American Sniper goes on to show how war gradually takes its toll on soldiers. It manifests through the yearning eyes of Kyle how he would always prefer an explosive battlefield to a quiet time home.
Prologue Jitters (Spoilers Ahead)
As soon as the screen goes dark and the movie begins, we are subjected to an enthralling booming bass that echoes power and might, depicting annexing right. All thanks to the boom operators of the flick. A tank shows up, an apt manifestation of annihilation like a devastating predator crushing rocks. It walks alongside soldiers on a mission. Not far away a sniper rests in a prone position on a roof alongside another soldier searching his target with rapt attention, cracking jokes.
Entry a lady hiding a grenade earnestly waiting for the convoy to arrive. She is accompanied by her son to whom she slips the grenade. The child rushes towards the American convoy, fully fledged, unaware of the cross-hair and bang! The deafening noise takes us to the past to the hunting grounds where a father is busy teaching his son to shoot.
Such brilliant direction! The prologue is so beautifully shot that you almost know that you are in for a treat. The story captures every aspect of the 'Legend' with whom American soldiers felt invincible. The flick features all his four major tours. There is a beautiful melodramatic side story showing his wife wanting his husband home. What it also beautifully captures is the aftermath of war-turmoil in a soldier's head.
Amazing Moments from American Sniper
One of the most exhilarating scenes from the flick is when Kyle takes off his belt to smack his dog without realizing it. Also, when he takes his longest shot that ranged around 1920m and executes it to perfection. It's the one that places him at the 8th spot on the global meter of champs.
"I want you to be human again."
There are many other gorgeous subtle bits in the movie. Like, slaying a woman and a child wasn't how Kyle imagined his first kills to be like. Apt coverage is given to that to make you feel his sorrow. Some beautiful dramatic pieces like Kyle shouting at the nurse to tend to his baby, asking his wife to move on if he doesn't return, his post-traumatic disorder, perspectives of people he met on war, Kyle's recovery and the final goodbye lap it up further bringing quality to this great biography.
You can order American Sniper movie from here:
A lot of hoopla surrounds the American Sniper movie owing to the delicate topic it touches viz. Iraq War. As a result, weird rumors and a lot of plot holes quickly showed up for this one. Some of the facts have been altered for movie viewing.
But if we overlook everything that raises brows and focus merely on how good the biopic really is, and experience the emotional quotient of the drama entailed, we would see how marvelous American Sniper movie really is.
A definite watch for everybody.

Ready To Work
On October 15, 2014, the U.S. Department of Labor announced $169,771,960 in grants to expedite the employment of Americans struggling with long-term unemployment. The grants are part of the Ready to Work Partnership (Ready To Work) initiative to support and scale innovative collaborations between employers, nonprofit organizations and federal job training programs to help connect ready-to-work Americans with ready-to-be-filled jobs.
This program supports and expands public-private partnerships that are helping long-term unemployed individuals get back to work. The Ready To Work grant program will provide those experiencing long-term unemployment with a range of training and supportive and specialized services leading to rapid employment in middle and high-skilled jobs.
Ready To Work projects are built around a comprehensive, up-front assessment of long-term unemployed individuals' needs and skills, resulting in customized interventions across three tracks: 1) intensive coaching and other short-term, specialized services culminating in direct job placement into middle and high-skilled jobs; 2) short-term interventions leading to employment into middle and high-skilled jobs; and 3) accelerated skills training along a career pathway to middle and high skilled jobs.
Projects incorporate work-based training models with earning components for long-term unemployed workers through models such as on-the-job training, paid work experience, paid internships, and Registered Apprenticeships. These programs also include tangible commitments from employers and other partners to provide employment opportunities, technical skills training, and on-the-job training and other paid work experience for H-1B occupations, while also addressing the barriers, income needs, and supportive service needs unique to long-term unemployed workers.
- 10-15-2014: Nearly $170 million in Ready to Work Partnership grants awarded to help long-term unemployed Americans find work! Find the news release here, including a list of Ready To Work grant award winners.
- 02-19-2014: Ready to Work Competition Announced! Approximately $150 million in grants to prepare and place those facing long-term unemployment into good jobs. Find the news release here.

New Zealand consumer prices rose at a slower-than-expected pace in the third quarter on falling transport, taking the annual pace of inflation below the Reserve Bank's target band.
The consumer price index rose 0.3 per cent in the three months ended September 30, according to Statistics New Zealand, slower than the 0.5 per cent forecast by the central bank. The annual pace of inflation slowed to 0.8 per cent, below the 1 per cent forecast by the Reserve Bank and outside its target band of between 1 per cent and 3 per cent. That's the first time it's dropped below the target band since 2002.
"Increases were countered by cheaper transport, telecommunications services and fresh milk," prices manager Chris Pike said in a statement.
Today's figures may fuel calls for the Reserve Bank to cut the official cash rate from its record-low 2.5 per cent in a bid to revive a slowing economic recovery and reduce the yield appeal of a strong currency. The New Zealand dollar has averaged 77.73 US cents this year, fuelling demands for the central bank to intervene in currency markets to bring the currency down.
The kiwi tumbled to 81.53 US cents from 81.80 cents immediately before the numbers were released.
Tradable inflation, which covers items open to foreign competition, was unchanged in the quarter, due to falling prices for second-hand cars, petrol and dairy products. On an annual basis, tradable inflation shrank 1.2 per cent.
Non-tradable inflation rose 0.5 per cent in the quarter at an annual pace of 2.3 per cent, mainly due to higher local authority rates.
Transport prices fell 1.1 per cent in the quarter, with the price of petrol down 1 per cent, second-hand car prices down 2.8 per cent and domestic air fares falling 7.8 per cent. Fresh milk prices fell 3.8 per cent in the quarter, while telecommunication services prices declined 1.8 per cent.
Food prices rose 1.1 per cent in the September quarter, led by more expensive produce, while grocery food prices fell 1.6 per cent.
Dwelling insurance prices surged 17 per cent in the quarter, and are up 43 per cent on an annual basis as insurers pass on rising reinsurance costs in the wake of a series of earthquakes that levelled Christchurch, the country's second-biggest city.
Local authority rates rose 3.6 per cent in the period, while rental prices increased 0.6 per cent, and newly built housing prices advanced 1 per cent.
Statistics New Zealand said the rates increase was one of several one-off events increasing prices in the quarter, along with the annual indexation of excise on alcohol duty, an 8.3 per cent hike in road user charges, and price increases for new driver licence classes.
Stripping out those one-off increases, the CPI rose about 0.2 per cent in the quarter.
The level of discounting by retailers accelerated in the quarter, with 12 per cent of prices collected at a lower price, down from 11 per cent in the June period.
The heaviest discounting came from major household appliances, at 35 per cent, followed by 29 per cent for small electrical household appliances and the same reduction offered on electrical appliances for personal care. Audio-visual equipment was reduced by 28 per cent.
ASB economist Jane Turner said the key surprise was the weakness in tradable inflation, which came largely due to the fall in transport prices.
Tradable CPI was now down 1.2 per cent on year-ago levels, largely due to the elevated New Zealand dollar, Turner said.
"With the NZD to remain elevated over the coming year, we expect tradable inflation pressures to remain subdued over the rest of 2012.
"However, deflation in these areas is masking a lift in domestic inflation pressures."
Turner expected the RBNZ would wait until September before lifting the OCR, previously estimating this would happen in June.
"Our view shift is largely based on other factors than the muted Q3 inflation outcome.
"The slow pace of Eurozone crisis resolution, coupled with dim Eurozone growth prospects, and likelihood of further RBNZ caution over persistent NZD strength all argue for a much later start than June."
Westpac chief economist Dominick Stephens said the "weaker than our below-market forecast" was mainly due to two quirks that were unlikely to be repeated - used car prices fell 2.8 per cent per cent and domestic airfares fell 7.8 per cent.
Housing-related inflation was starting to accelerate, with the cost of building a new house up 3 per cent nationwide over the past year, he said.
"Our concern is that the Canterbury rebuild will boost housing-related inflation, eventually forcing the Reserve Bank to increase the OCR.
"This story still looks very much on track."
Today's release comes a week after the New Zealand Institute of Economic Research's quarterly survey of business opinion showed local businesses were gloomier about the economy in a deteriorating trading environment. The Wellington-based consultancy sees the annual pace of growth slowing to 1.5 per cent in the second half of the year from a 2.6 per cent expansion at the end of June.

thanks for the comment in the forum.,,im trying to fix the perspective when i have time,im told im going do a lot of clicking with the mouse.
oh and i commented in your forum post hope you like the idea hahah
commented in the forum
dang dude i bet the book did come out real good.,,
hey do you know how to like paint stuff in photo shop and stuff look here help me in the forum
the only courses they give in my high school are the ones that show you how to use photoshop but all year they teach just how to fix the contrast and color of a picture..,,
i recently found out i like to mess with ink and water color,my favorite part about art class,but i have no way of scanning them,and even if i did i lack the skill to make them look good in photoshop and all that
you do illustrations for books??thats cool.,my art teacher always telling me i should do illustration books for children becasue theres something dr.seuss like in my drawings and the bright colors i choose to paint with,but
mhmm i like to draw on paper a lot but idont know how to tranfer it into the computer and make it look good.,,
thanks for the advice Sidoneon :)
I checked that link you gave me..that's really good.
You just started this year using illustrator? Vector drawing is using vectors in illustrator yes, we had to make a room on illustrator using vectors..it was a 2D picture of a room we designed. It wasn't easy.
And thank you for the happy birthday :D
Vector drawing? If you mean drawing something with the use of vectors in Illustrator then yes loll Unless I'm wrong on what it means. I learned how to use Illustrator this year and has some fun with it.
that's an vectorisation I did of a korean singer.
happy birthday in advance!
Party tmrw!!
Birthday isn't 'til the 18th though :P
Thank you very much. It's great to hear from other artists. I think my drawing skills are better than my photoshop skills. Illustrator i'm getting the hang of. But over the past 2yrs i've been looking at graphic design..so i've been working on my photoshop and illustrator skills. And something i really need to work on is "vector drawing". Have you done that?
Honestly, I can't give you much advices. I think it's all about trial and error. You start with an idea, you work on it, but then you try different way of expressing it. Since photoshop and Illustrator have a wondeful thing called "layers" well you need to use that to the upmost. Also, look at other designs. That's a key tool in my opinion. I started using photoshop 5-7 years ago and what I did was really bad, BUT I thought it was good cause it was better than someone else's work. And then I found someone even better so I polished my skills until I got his level and surpass him, etc. etc. But I'm not a pro yet lol
and If I use photoshop it's cause I suck at drawing haha
8 more days and i'm no longer a teen :P
@ Sidoneon
I'm in an art school, and i've been working on my photoshop skills and also illustrator. Are there any tips you could give me on designing? My drawing skills are improving after 2 xtra yrs of highschool. You could say grade 14 (i hate saying that lol) but then next year i plan to go to college for graphic design :)
haha thanks my Dp is an old picture i made long time ago but it went w/ the concept of this website =)
Yes lol
My thing is photoshop and design.
I'm not as good at drawing so yeah, but actually I'm always trying new things that's why some of work sucks as much as some are good in my opinion.
Birthday May 18th :P leaving my teens behind me soon lol
Hey thanks for the support and welcome to the DBH community!
