A bedroom is a private room where people usually sleep for the night or relax during the day.
Many houses in North America, Australia and Europe have at least two bedrooms—usually a master bedroom (dedicated to the heads of the household, such as a husband and wife) and one or more bedrooms for either the children or guests.
In some jurisdictions there are basic features (such as a closet and a "means of egress") which a room must have in order to be qualify as a bedroom. Nevertheless, some real estate agents may stretch the definition when listing a home for sale.
In buildings with multiple self-contained housing units (e.g., apartments), the number of bedrooms varies widely. While many such units have at least one bedroom—frequently, these units have at least two—some of these units may not have a specific room dedicated for use as a bedroom. (These units may be known by various names, including studio, efficiency, bedsit, and others.)
Furniture and other items in bedrooms vary greatly, depending on taste and local tradition. For instance, a master bedroom may include a bed of a specific size (double, king or queen-sized); one or more dressers (or perhaps, a wardrobe armoire); a nightstand; one or more closets; and carpeting. Built-in closets are less common in Europe than in North America; thus there is greater use of freestanding wardrobes or armoires in Europe.
Bedding used in northern Europe (especially in Scandinavia) is significantly different from that used in North America and other parts of Europe. In Japan futons are common.
Some bedrooms also include such items as a make-up desk, television, personal computer, air conditioning and various accessories (such as lamps, telephone and an alarm clock).
Sometimes, a master bedroom is connected to a dedicated bathroom, often called an ensuite.

In addition to a bed (or, if shared by two or more children, a bunk bed), a child's bedroom may include the requisite closets and dressers, a toy box or computer game console, bookcase or other items.

The bedroom is a room in a home where people sleep. A bedroom mainly has a bed and drawers to hold clothes in. Many bedrooms also have closets. Some houses have more than one bedroom, and the biggest one is called a master bedroom. Master bedrooms also have bathrooms attached to them called an ensuite.

Record-breaking gold-medal wins are all well and good. But Bradley Wiggins hasn't had things all his own way. The poor man came out of the gym earlier this week to find his kit had been pinched. The Foxhills Hotel in Surrey, where Team GB's cyclists are camped, suggested that "cycling fever" was to blame, and that "an over-zealous fan has scored a fantastic London 2012 souvenir". You'll note the use of the word "scored" to convey "stolen", presumably because they don't want their hotel to be linked in the public mind with thieves. No such worries beset Wiggins, though, who tweeted: "Watch your kit at the Foxhills spa … there is a tea-leaf about." I think this summarises exactly what I like about him: a man who uses a spa and cockney rhyming slang in a single sentence. I call that a win.
No man is an island, except for Phelps
Michael Phelps has become the most successful Olympian of all time. At least, he has if you measure these things in medals, because he now has 19, 15 of which are gold. To put that in perspective, Phelps is practically a country, having won more Olympic medals than Croatia, and more Olympic golds than Jamaica. It is undeniably easier for a swimmer to win lots of medals than for, say, the decathletes, who must now be thinking they won't get a chance to level up unless they get a medal for each discipline. Or, ideally, two medals. But it is still an astonishing achievement to which Phelps might yet add before the Olympics are over. He has three more events to go: think what a nice symmetrical number 22 is.
China's woeful lack of shuttle diplomacy
I like badminton, as it is one of the few racquet sports I have ever played with even the tiniest degree of success (though only because the court isn't very big, and I am quite tall, so I can reach a fair bit of it while standing still). But it is the laughing stock of this year's Olympics. The early rounds of the badminton are no longer a knock-out system, like the tennis, which means the incentive to win each match is considerably reduced. The new "group stage" system led to the extraordinary sight of China and South Korea serving into the net on Tuesday because they both wanted to lose their matches to avoid playing tough pairs in the next stage. Now eight players in the women's doubles have been disqualified.
The disqualification has proved controversial because it raises the question of whether wanting to lose is the same as cheating. Perhaps it isn't, but if spectators are paying to watch a match, then the players surely have an obligation to try and win it. Sport is entertainment, after all.
Our first golden girls do us proud
In the run-up to London 2012, it has sometimes been hard to remember what Olympic spirit is: the athletes and the sport have too often got lost beneath corporate self-interest. But that was before Helen Glover and Heather Stanning wiped the lake with the competition in the rowing. It was a big moment for British spectators, because it was our first gold medal. But it was also a great story: no British women had ever won rowing gold before, and impossibly, Glover only took up the sport in 2008.
In their moment of triumph, before returning to shore, they kept waving their weary arms in delight. The cameras pulled back, to show who they were waving at: all the volunteers (I can't bring myself to call them by their official title – Games makers – as this isn't Game Of Thrones) who have helped everyone out all week. That would be the Olympic spirit right there.

The complexity of ignition wire products has drastically changed over the past several decades. Car manufacturers are introducing more complex, compact fuel efficient engines with smaller cylinder counts. These higher revving engines in smaller engine compartments expose ignition wires to extreme operating temperatures. Duralast wire sets not only withstand the demands of these high-heat conditions but resist exposure to chemicals, deliver maximum spark, provide long life, and meet the original manufacturers design and functional requirements.

The bill stems from clauses in old pension contracts which typically promised savers an annual income in retirement worth 20 per cent of the amount they saved, compared with around 9 per cent if no guarantee had been offered.
Like other offices, Norwich Union believed it could afford the guarantees because long-term interest rates had historically been high. But rates have plunged over the past year, forcing offices to finance the guarantees from reserves.
Norwich Union's bill could rise even higher to approach pounds 1bn, if long- term interest rates stay at today's levels. The key interest rate, the yield on 15-year gilts, yesterday touched a record low of 4.19 per cent, down from 6.25 per cent a year ago.
The Government Actuary and the Financial Services Authority wrote to life offices this week with instructions on how to deal with annuity guarantees.
But regulators are refusing to disclose the cost of the problem to each particular company. Estimates from the Government Actuary put the total cost at pounds 7bn. Analysts are warning that the guaranteed annuities could push some life offices into dropping the amount they pay out in bonuses to policyholders.
As long-term interest rates fell to a record low of 4.19 per cent yesterday, Norwich Union declared a 12 per cent cut in the annual bonus it pays each year to pension policies.
Holders of with-profits policies this year will receive a 6 per cent annual bonus, compared with 6.75 per cent at the same time last year. Savers will receive 5.5 per cent, compared with 6 per cent last year.

As you may be aware, FreshBooks is a Canadian company. Well, today is Canada Day here in our homeland – an annual celebration of all things Canada. By way of commemoration, I just bought "a round" for our nation over at Beers for Canada.
Beers for Canada is a fund raising effort for a non-profit organization that is looking to drive government transparency by making good use of data. The US government is supporting these kinds of initiatives with Data.gov, and Toronto's Mayor Miller announced something similar at the mesh conference this spring for the City of Toronto.
I'm a huge fan of governments publicly exposing data sets so that software developers can do neat things with the data. I think it's going to lead to all kinds of efficiencies and useful services for businesses and the public alike.
Anyways, I just wanted to direct your attention to Beers for Canada and some of the interesting projects they are trying to advance. FreshBooks has bought a round (made a $100 donation), and I'm sure they'd appreciate your support too if you are that way inclined.

Hhhah I wasn't impressed either. However, I didn't try the burger with peanut butter.. thats just asking for it. I couldn't get past the sweet bread.. tastes kinda like Hawaiian bread.

At least the don't serve corndogs. And if I were to go to a place for the very first time looking, I would NOT be stupid enough to get the peanut butter burger like you were.

As a former Mugshots employee who has visited the Starkville, Tuscaloosa, and Birmingham locations, heres the deal on the "burgers that are said to be the best around". The burgers are absolutely frozen, they are also absolutely precooked to order. If your burger is dry, it is because it was probably cooked at least an hour ago by one of our "gormet" chefs, which means it was some Joe Blow off the street that needed a job. As for the problems with mugshots, thats just the tip of the iceberg.....

Sometimes the burgers are good, sometimes terrible, and sometimes they tell you that they're out of meat after you've been waiting 45 minutes.

Ive had fresh made burgers, with crispy bacon pieces IN THE PATTY served with a jar of peanut butter to slather on the bun... I was skeptical but it was awesome! Not one person attending the little experimental PB-Burger tasting disliked them(and there were 3 picky eaters)

Woo-hoo. Folks, it looks like 2011 has indeed soared to its first big weekend win in months on the wings of Fox's Rio. The 3D animated toon rose from the ashes of a lower than expected Friday figure to earn an estimated $40 million for the three day frame. Unfortunately, there was not a lot of love left over for Wes Craven's Scream 4 but, no matter! The weekend should still end up ahead of last year by approximately 12%.
Title | Weekend | Total | |
1 | Rio | $40,000,000 | $40 |
2 | Scream | $19,300,000 | $19.3 |
3 | Hop | $11,160,000 | $82.6 |
4 | Soul Surfer | $7,400,000 | $19.9 |
5 | Hanna | $7,327,000 | $23.3 |
6 | Arthur | $6,940,000 | $22.3 |
7 | Insidious | $6,857,000 | $35.9 |
8 | Source Code | $6,300,000 | $36.9 |
9 | The Conspirator | $3,924,000 | $3.9 |
10 | Your Highness | $3,895,000 | $15.9 |
Along with almost single-handedly assuring a weekend in the 'win' column for 2011, Rio also scored the highest weekend debut of the year at $40 million – and this time Monday's official numbers should not necessitate a retraction as they did two weeks ago with that overly optimistic estimate for Hop. Rio launched in 3,826 locations, with over 2,500 of those screening the G-rated toon in 3D. Additionally, the film's number one domestic debut was echoed internationally where Rio has already taken in over $100 million.
Produced by Blue Sky Studios, the folks behind Ice Age and Horton Hears a Who, Rio was made for a relatively thrifty $90 million. Naturally that doesn't count marketing costs, (including a pricey Super Bowl Ad) but with a relatively glowing 71% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a first weekend in line with both How to Train Your Dragon ($43.7) and Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs ($41.6), this has to be seen as another win for the Connecticut-based studio.
2011's first winning weekend might have been much more impressive had Scream 4 lived up to its early projections. Although it has been 11 years since Ghostface last graced the screen, box office watchers had predicted a weekend in the mid-twenties for the fourth entry in Wes Craven's iconic horror franchise. Instead Scream 4 earned an estimated $19.3 million from 3,305 locations and actually declined from Friday to Saturday. Still, with the notoriously thrifty Dimension spending a reported $40 million on the film, Scream 4 will end up profitable – even if it puts the knife to the Scream brand for good.
If the reaction to Scream 4 was underwhelming, that may have had something to do with the continued power of Insidious. The low-budget scarer earned an estimated $6.8 million in its third week – a decline of just 26% – bringing its domestic total to $35.9 million from that astonishing $1 million budget.
As for last weekend's newcomers, Soul Surfer stayed strongest, holding on to its number four position with a decline of just 30% and a second weekend estimate of $7.4 million. Focus Features' Hanna also held well, notching a decline of 40% and an estimate of $7.3 million. Arthur managed a decent hold of 57%, but after last weekend's disappointing start that gives the Russell Brand comedy a domestic total of just $22.3 million after ten days. As expected, Your Highness suffered the biggest decline of the newbies, falling 58% to number ten. That means a new domestic total of just under $16 million, a total more fitting for a small indie hit than a star-studded, major studio release.
And speaking of small, indie pics, Robert Redford's The Conspirator managed to debut at number nine this weekend. The Roadside Attractions production earned a respectable $3.9 million from its initial run in 707 locations, or a per screen average of $5,550.
If all goes according to plan, next weekend should give Hollywood its second win in a row. Not only will Tyler Perry be back (in his crowd-pleasing Madea persona) but the much-hyped adaptation of the novel Water for Elephants, starring Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon, will hit 2,700 locations. Late April of 2010 was no blockbuster – with How to Train Your Dragon number one with just $15.3 million – so what could go wrong?

The Germans were robbed in their "open skies" deal with the US. It may have been open skies for the Americans, but the door of the US domestic market has been slammed in Lufthansa's face.
If the British don't want to be duped into a similar deal it's about time we got off our nationalist high horse and allowed the European Commission to negotiate "open skies" from a position of strength, as is sensibly done with every other area of trade policy.

Makoto Kozato is the father of Enma and Mami Kozato. He was a dealer of old paintings and was accused to have initiated the Flood of Blood incident after killing twelve members of the CEDEF.
Plot OverviewEdit
Inheritance Ceremony ArcEdit
Seven years before the events in the Inheritance Ceremony Arc, several houses of the bosses of families connected to the Vongola Family had been shot by bullets, prompting the CEDEF, headed by Iemitsu Sawada, Tsuna's father, to investigate. The CEDEF's investigation led them to an old art dealer named Makoto Kozato. The CEDEF decided to investigate him, but as soon as they started, twelve of Iemitsu's subordinates were slaughtered in a hotel elevator. After investigating the scene, Makoto Kozato's gun was recovered. Later that night, Makoto, his wife, and their daughter were slaughtered at their home. His son, Enma, managed to survive and saw the supposed killer, Iemitsu Sawada. However, it is later revealed that the family was killed by Daemon Spade who disguised himself as Iemitsu after initiating the Flood of Blood incident, who did it under the excuse of "eliminating Vongola's weak".

False dawn of the city
As you may have already guessed, that's not the dawn. It's the lights of Cork City (and Blarney) shining and into the sky in a long exposure shot I made last August.
I had meant to mention this sooner but 2 weeks ago I was shocked to hear about the death of Debbie Metrustry (@debbiemet), a wonderful person I had the pleasure of conversing with by tweet and by email over the course of the last year or so. She even won a print on this blog last year, but between this and that I never got around to sending it to her. I hope I can get in touch with her family at some stage and offer it to them instead.
Debbie's blog on WordPress.com is still there and will be as long as the service is there (which is forever, right?), I've seen to that.
If you knew Debbie you might like to read the reaction from other people who knew her.

Working with Google to Showcase MHS Content about U. S. Presidents
Selections from MHS's two most important collections, the Adams Family Papers and the Coolidge Collection of Thomas Jefferson Manuscripts, are now part of the Google Arts & Culture website. This website is administered by the Google Cultural Institute, a non-profit initiative founded in 2011 that partners with cultural organizations to "bring the world's cultural heritage online." [Read more about the Google Cultural Institute here: https://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/about/partners/.]
When MHS was approached by a coordinator of the Google Cultural Institute in the late summer and asked to contribute content about U.S. Presidents for the American Democracy Project, MHS staff realized there were many benefits of having our collections showcased within the Google Arts & Culture web delivery system. Highlights of the Society's extraordinary Adams and Jefferson manuscript collections are now available to users who browse and search the content Google is hosting from about 1,200 significant museums, archives, and cultural organizations.
MHS's main website has thousands of presentations of documents from our Adams and Jefferson materials, and the first challenge was to figure out what specifically to contribute to Google's recent project. The Google content management system features items as single digitized images and online exhibitions featuring those digital items. Given limited production time to assemble the online content, we decided to focus our efforts on creating two online exhibitions--"The Private Jefferson" and "From Diplomats to Presidents: John Adams and John Quincy Adams".
For "The Private Jefferson" online exhibition, Laura Wulf, Production Specialist, worked from the publication, The Private Jefferson: Perspectives from the Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society, the companion to the recent MHS exhibition. It features selected letters written by Jefferson, pages from manuscript volumes, architectural drawings and sketches, published documents, and engravings.
Neal Millikan, Digital Projects Editor, and Amanda Norton, Digital Projects Editor (with input from their colleagues within the Adams Papers department) crafted an informative narrative for the exhibition "From Diplomats to Presidents: John Adams and John Quincy Adams." This exhibition presents key documents and quotations about the extensive careers in public service of John Adams and his son, John Quincy Adams.
The MHS digital team (Laura Wulf, Peter Steinberg, and I) assembled all the digital components (images and associated metadata), loaded them into the Google web delivery system, and used the exhibition editor tool to assemble the online exhibitions.
Please explore the exhibitions and MHS's online content within the Google Arts & Culture website, and the entire Google American Democracy project.

Limousine Dream Interpretation
What does it mean if you dreamt about Limousine? To see a limousine in your dream, indicates that you have an exaggerated sense of self-worth and self-importance. You may also feel the need to show off and impress others. In addition to the above, if the limousine is black, then it suggests that your are unwilling to make changes or yield to others. Alternatively, it may symbolize prestige, wealth, and power.Added By: Julia Dream Analyst

The Man Utd Supporters Trust (MUST) have seized on Sir Alex's statement that there will be no more summer transfers to demand that the club's owners use the £80m generated from the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo, £25m saved on Carlos Tevez and the £3.5m for Frazier Campbell to Sunderland into slashing season ticket prices.
With more than £100m from these transfers it could translate into a hefty reduction. Man Utd was the only Premiership club to raise ticket prices by £1 more per game for an average increase of 5% in season ticket prices. Their crosstown rivals City are slashing prices by 7%.
MUST vice chair Sean Bones said:
"However, if no new player is purchased then we feel that the money not used from the sales and savings should go towards reducing season ticket prices and stadium expansion.
"By all accounts the deal to sell Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid was agreed last year so why then have the owners seen fit to increase season ticket prices? They've increased them when all the other main clubs have frozen theirs."
Fair enough. Ronaldo was bought by Man Utd when it was a plc before Malcolm Glazer took over the club in 2005 and through their investment vehicle Red Football Ltd, de-listed it from the London Stock Exchange to transform it into a private entity. Essentially Ronaldo was bought by public money and the supporters have every right to demand how they want to spend the proceeds from his transfer. A point made by Mr Bones in his message to the Glazers.

Display and log errors for PHP
In this tutorial:
By default, InMotion disabled PHP error logging on all servers. In order to troubleshoot your PHP code, PHP errors can be enabled to display and log errors using your local php.ini file or ini_set() in a specific PHP file. This article will cover how to turn display errors On and Off, error reporting settings, error logging, and the ini_set() function for individual error checking on specific pages.
Editing the php.ini to display errors
The php.ini by default should have the errors enabled; however, for the production environment, errors can be turned off. Sometimes when developing PHP scripts you may want to turn specific errors Off or On. Displaying errors is typically turned-off for production and Enabled for development. Displaying errors is disabled for production to protect sensitive information and not interfere with the format of the pages. This section will explain how to turn error reporting On and Off.
- Login into your cPanel.
- Go to the File Manager. Select the public_html directory and click Go.
- Find the "Error handling and logging" section in the php.ini. You can enable the error_reporting by removing the ( ; ) from in front to the line. You can disable error_reporting by adding a ( ; ) in front of the line and add "error_reporting = none". See the following.
Error reporting set to server default.
; - Show all errors, except for notices ; ;error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE ;
Error reporting set to specifically report all errors.
; - Show all errors, except for notices ; error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE ;
- Next you can set the display_errors to On or Off to either show the errors on your website or not. Look for the display_errors line in the php.ini and set it to On to display errors or Off to turn errors off. The code looks like the following.
display_errors = On
Php.ini error reporting settings
PHP has a list of different error reporting settings within the php.ini file itself. For example if you just want to display warnings only you can change the error_reporting to the following.
error_reporting = E_WARNING
The following table was created from the settings found in a standard php.ini file. The following table shows the available options.
List of available options taken from php.ini | |
E_ALL | All errors and warnings |
E_ERROR | fatal run-time errors |
E_WARNING | run-time warnings (non-fatal errors) |
E_PARSE | compile-time parse errors |
E_DEPRECATED | notices for the use of functions that will be retired in a future version |
E_NOTICE | run-time notices (these are warnings which often result from a bug in your code, but it's possible that it was intentional (e.g., using an uninitialized variable and relying on the fact it's automatically initialized to an empty string) |
E_CORE_ERROR | fatal errors that occur during PHP's initial startup |
E_CORE_WARNING | warnings (non-fatal errors) that occur during PHP's initial startup |
E_COMPILE_ERROR | fatal compile-time errors |
E_COMPILE_WARNING | compile-time warnings (non-fatal errors) |
E_USER_ERROR | user-generated error message |
E_USER_WARNING | user-generated warning message |
E_USER_NOTICE | user-generated notice message |
Turning Error logging on
By default errors are set to error_log is set to /dev/null which means, it won't have error logging on. When errors are turned on will be stored in the directory the error occurs in. For example, if you have a PHP file called index.php in a subdirectory like public_html/wordpress, if you have any PHP errors in the index.php file of that location, the error log will be stored in that folder. You can specify in the php.ini what file to store all errors in.
Important!You can place the following code in the .htaccess to make the local php.ini work for the current directory where the .htaccess resides and all subdirectories beyond.
<IfModule mod_suphp.c> suPHP_ConfigPath /home/USERNAME/public_html </IfModule>
For more information on suPHP please see our article on Choosing the best PHP handler.
- Login into your cPanel.
- Go to the File Manager. Select the public_html directory and click Go.
- You can set the following line of code to On to log errors or off to turn error logging off.
log_errors = On
- Next you can save errors from any page in your files to a specific location the error_log for all your to a specific path on the server or leave the log.
This will place the error_log in the directory the error occurs in
; Log errors to specified file. error_log = error_log
This s will place all errors in the error log inside the public_html
; Log errors to specified file. error_log = /home/userna5/public_html/error_log
Now your errors will all be stored in the error_log in the public_html.
Using int_set() to display errors
In the case you want errors to not display site wide and you want to check errors on a single page, you can use the ini_set() function to have errors displayed on a particular page.The basic syntax from php.net shows the function and its parameters is as follows:
string ini_set ( string $varname , string $newvalue )
This can be placed at the top of your PHP page to with the error_reporting variable in it to allows error checking for that particular page. Below are the steps on how to do this.
- Login into your cPanel.
- Go to the File Manager. Select the public_html directory and click Go. If error logging is off in php.ini you can place this in a page for errors specific to this page Place the following
- Navigate to the PHP file you want to check errors for.
Open the file in the code editor.
- In the page, add the following to the top of the page.
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
1 = On
0 = OffSave the page.
Now your PHP page only will display errors.
Maintain your log files
Now that you have enabled error logging, be sure to maintain your log files. If you are getting errors regularly, be sure to remove the logs periodically. You may do so by just removing the file from within the File Manager or through any other method that you prefer to manage your files. A large log file can sometimes cause issues by possibly filling your disk space or if on shared hosting with unlimited disk space, begin to impact other customers on the server.

Hello sanjay,
It looks like you might want to edit your php.ini file and look for the line that mentions homeloader.so and comment it out by placing a ; in front of that line and then saving it. You might want to check with your host if the main PHP mail() function is disabled on your server. You might want to use phpMailer to send mail from your website instead using the SMTP authentication that a normal email client would use. Please let us know if you have any further questions. - Jacob |

Hello Hung Nguyen,
Sorry for the problem with your PHP functions. The servers are all loaded and ready to run PHP, so you don't need to do any configuration. If your functions aren't working, then it may be related to your code. We do not provide coding support so you may be better off posting your code in a forum specifically for that purpose. You may also want to check your PHP configuration in the cPanel for the PHP version being used. If you have any further questions or comments, please let us know. Regards, Arnel C. |

If you take over the counter or using prescribed medications, speak to your doctor before you take medication or prescriptions because of it or treating scabies in a other way. Instead of an guessing game in the origins, what is important is to adopt action. Consider placing belongings you can't wash in a sealed plastic bag and leaving it in a out-of-the-way place, for 2 weeks.
Remain absent from infected people and keep away from crowded parts. Elimite and Quill will give you a four day reprieve then the itching returns plus it's relentless. In addition, the combs, hair accessories and brushes has to be disinfected too.
I also learned that Lyme and Protozoan infections often accompany the parasites compromising one's defense mechanisms further complicating any attempts at treatment. This means that it's used on specific areas for the body, then when using the cream, topical application means applying towards the affected area. A byproduct of having scabies may also be severe itching which antihistamines are designed for reducing or eliminating.
Unfortunately both lice and scabies are recurrent and the explication because of this phenomenon is that this insects might have become resistant to the actual treatment. What's worse is the fact that once you happen to be infected, everything within your environment becomes contaminated or contaminated with them. You can catch these skin parasites by trying on clothing, sitting in a chair, or as one person claims from sitting across from an infected person.
These bedbugs become filled with life in the evening, and nourish for the person resting on the bed. It just isn't just a std disease as it might be communicated via holding hands or arm wrestling. For a long time, lindane (gamma-benzene), sold within the trade names Kwell and Scabene, continues to be the treating choice for scabetic infestations.

U.S. News Health Officials to Discuss Links Between Commercial Sex Work, HIV Transmission in BaltimoreNovember 12, 2007
Health officials from the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the Baltimore Health Department plan to hold the first in a series of meetings this month to discuss the links between commercial sex work and HIV transmission in an effort to curb the spread of the disease in the Baltimore area, the Baltimore Sun reports (Bor, Baltimore Sun, 11/9). The effort is "an exciting and outstanding initiative," Sidney Ford, director of Baltimore-based You Are Never Alone, said, adding, "There is a lot of promise in any collaboration between the city, state and private providers to focus attention on this much neglected issue" (Baltimore Sun, 11/9).

Enviros fault scaled-back FutureGen carbon goal
The Energy Department's scaled-back goal for capturing carbon at the proposed FutureGen coal-fired power project is getting poor reviews from environmentalists.
DOE last week reversed a Bush-era decision by unveiling tentative plans to proceed with the federal-industry project to build a prototype coal plant in Mattoon, Ill., that would trap and store carbon dioxide emissions.
The new plan calls for an initial carbon-capture goal of 60 percent, but with a design that would allow an upgrade to 90 percent. The original Bush administration plan had called for a 90 percent capture goal.
The Clean Air Task Force issued a statement over the weekend saying the revised carbon goal transforms FutureGen into "YesterGen." Other environmentalists also criticized the revision.
"The purpose of FutureGen was to test technologies that could later be deployed on a commercial scale," said John Thompson, who directs the task force's Coal Transition Project. "Yet in moving from a 90 percent to 60 percent threshold, the project will achieve levels that are no higher, and maybe even lower, than several commercial projects already at advanced stages of development."
Stephanie Mueller, a DOE spokeswoman, noted that the original goal of 90 percent remains but that the earlier level to begin with would help the project. "The increase over time is meant to improve reliability in the initial stages of the project," she said in an e-mail yesterday.
Lawrence Pacheco, a spokesman for the FutureGen Alliance, a consortium of coal and utility companies working to build the plant, said the decision was made as part of an effort to reduce "technical risk" and cut project costs, which are currently estimated at $2.4 billion.
DOE has pledged slightly more than $1 billion for the project. The agreement announced Friday calls for restarted design work, industry financial planning and other actions to be conducted through early next year.
DOE said that after finishing a detailed cost estimate and industry fundraising, the parties will decide early next year whether to build or abandon the project aimed at integrating coal gasification and carbon capture and sequestration.
If the project is ultimately approved, Pacheco said the alliance would begin materials procurement and construction next year and begin operating the plant in 2013 or 2014. The industry group's members include American Electric Power Co. Inc., Southern Co., Foundation Coal Corp., Consol Energy Inc. and other U.S. and international companies.

As far as I can think, this is the only place to eat open 24 hours around here, other than The Diner in Adams Morgan.

Tuesday, 16 December 2008
Last night I stated ny intention on twitter to get up early and go for a run. I snoozed my alarm twice but was up 15minutes after it first went off, good for me at the moment. I had a plan of where I was running and had guessed it would be about 5 miles. I headed off and it was soon feeling hard, I don't think I can really say I was running, more jogging and shuffling than anything. I got a stitch after a mile and I had that horrible sweaty feeling. I find that usually when fit sweat is a clean sweat, it feels fine, doesn't smell when dry etc. But this was the sweat of unfit, clammy like you get when you are ill. Never mind I wanted to complete my plan. Which I did, no walking at any point. I was slow but the point was to get out and do it.

Don't worry kate, I don't think I'm getting ill. I know what caused all the stuff over the weekend and exercise won't make it worse.
Anyway this is the race,
well the entry form!
It is just off the M60, so easy to get to and I did a summer cross race there and that was fun.

The Goodmorning Underwear are a pair of panties that vibrate to wake you up in the morning. This project is a continuation of my ongoing efforts to further the field of electronic underwear. Unlike all of my previous projects that use complex circuitry and fabrication techniques, this one is based around the littleBits prototyping platform and is easy enough anyone can make at home.
This particular project came about because I finally wanted to make a garment that my girlfriend would actually want to wear. While it may be hard to believe, when I made the Clap Off Bra it was not really for her. Sure, I may have gifted it to her to use, but it was really something that I made for myself. This time around it was important to me that I should repay her for all of her patience and make something that she would truly appreciate.
Truthfully, this is a little bit tricky because I have noticed that she does not wear underwear all that often. Largely she wears underwear only when she goes to bed. While this may seem like a backwards approach to underwear usage, it ultimately proved to be my design constraint. Thus, I began to consider how her underwear could be enhanced to improve her resting hours.
Through nearly a decade of intensive study and observation, I have come to learn that she is not really much for being woken up in the morning and does not particularly care for alarm clocks. However, over the last ten years I have also observed that she is awfully fond of devices containing vibrating motors. It then goes to follow that she would enjoy her alarm clock much more if it vibrated her awake instead of bombarding her with horrible, wretched, noise. To test this hypothesis, I have created the Goodmorning Underwear. It is my sincere hope that this garment will promote a happy, healthy, and holistic lifestyle.
Or maybe these are all half-truths and I just "borrowed" this idea from Carleyy (who in turn got it from a friend).
Nonetheless, I still developed and shared directions for making vibrating alarm clock underwear. You're welcome.

It depicts the celebratory dance performance in Artek, a famed children`s camp in Crimea, which would host children from various Soviet Republics and it was considered a big privilege to attend it. The dance is the traditional Ukrainian one, which is also accompanied by the musicians playing a traditional Ukrainian instrument - bandura. Cypress trees and the Black Sea in the background reconfirm the fact that the depicted scene takes place in Crimea.

Screen Awards 2014 News
20th Screen Awards: Deepika Padukone, Sonakshi Sinha or Kalki Koechlin – Who looked most sexy?
B-town hunks and divas walked the red carpet at the first awards function of the year. While some sizzled, others fizzled. Here's a quick look…
The 20th Annual Life OK Annual Screen Awards was attended by the who's who of Bollywood. While some won our hearts, others just made us ask 'Why?'.

Cisco, one of the world's largest technology companies, is being sued by Chinese political prisoners for allegedly providing the technology and expertise used by the Chinese Communist Party to monitor, censor and suppress the Chinese people.
That's #1. Here's #2:
A human rights group suing Cisco for aiding the tracking and torture of people in China claims it has new evidence proving the tech giant tailored its technology to specifically enable these abuses.
Oh, yes. There ARE such things as flat-out immoral capitalists.
Now for the fun part: if PRChina can buy and implement the technology, who ELSE could?

Photo Number 378
Along this street on the right are these signs, Dr RL Ready(?) Dentist, Dentist, St Francis Hotel Rooms Rooms, Wells Fargo Company, Bowling Pool, Bowling, Sample Shoes and on the side of the tall building it says Victor Building Offices. It probably also says VICTOR BLDG on top of the building..maybe. In the top photo on the left side the only building with a sign that I can read is one called the Palace.
This photo is very faded, but I was able to enlarge the less damaged side for you to see in greater detail. I think it is a marvelous one of a kind photo. There are streetcar rails in the street and there is one heck of a parade going on.
I am not sure but this might be Washington, DC on September 17, 1919 the day of the Victory Day Parade after WWI was over and General Pershing visited our Nations Capitol. This photo just bursts with patriotism, all the flags and people sitting in the window ledges..it must have been quite a sight to see.
Any input or opinions on this photo are appreciated! Thanks Laurisa for sharing!
Thanks for stopping by, do come again:)
Update: Info from Iggy..this is Kansas City, Missouri.
Update from : You'll never meet me: The Flags in the photo appear to match flags from 1896 to 1908.
Update from Iggy: This photo was taken July 20, 1923. French General Henri Joseph Eugene Gouraud was visiting, he was the General in charge of the Kansas Troops that were part of the Rainbow Division. The Rosedale Memorial Arch Ground Breaking Ceremony and PARADE were held that same day. You can read more about it here.
As for the flags..perhaps they used every flag they could get their hands on..or used School House Flags like Iggy suggested.
25 comments:
I think I can make out the dome of the US Capital building at the end of the street.
The victory parade featured General Pershing, and ran up Pennsylvania Avenue from the Peace monument near the Capitol to Nineteenth Street.
The Washington DC, 9 story, Victor Building, built in 1910, was (and still is) on 9th Street which may or may not have been on the parade route but perhaps visible from there - across the street from the Victor Building was the Old Patent Office. The building now houses the Archives Of American Art, Smithsonian Institution.
I'm not 100% sold on this -Really interesting. This blog is such a great idea! Have you ever had any of the original owners of the photos or friends/family contact you?
Regarding old photos, take a look at my blog post on Tufts University, featuring a photo from 1910 - of Walnut Hill. Excellent photographic skills, if you think of the equipment they had back then..An alternate location might be Kansas City.
There is a 9 or 10-story "Victor Building" there - that is now the Truman Presidential Library on 10th Street. They had a big victory parade in May, 1919 and marched down 10th street. There is also a YMCA on tenth street which featured bowling.
They had celebratory parades all over the country (and in Canada, England, and France).
"Wells Fargo & Co, 1888" was located just about everywhere - But I found an RL Ready, Dentist that lived in the suburbs (Liberty, Mo).
I'm engrossed - there are French tirocolor flags and what appear to Navy ship flags spelling something out.
(You can search for other pictures there too)Aha!
Definite proof! The parade was in Kansas City...
The picture at:
Is taken just about the same place the one show was taken. Note the Palace sign on the left and the "Victor Building" in the background!!!!
:) :) :) :)I was looking at the flags waving in this photo and double checked. Matching the rows of stars - the flags would be 1896 to 1908. In 1908, Oklahoma was added to the Union and a star added to the flag. I think this photo would have to be from before then. And with the number and size of the flags, they would be provided by the government (city, state, federal) so it could be a rally for a presidential candidate, military success or even the Olympic Games. (http://storiesofusa.com/us-flag-history-united-states-flags-timeline-1777-1960/)
ReplyDeleteLooking more closely at the flags on the right - and its a shame the photo is blemished on the clearest flag - but it appears that the flag has 6 horizonal rows of 8 stars = 48 stars. I didn't know this but they had a "school room use" "staggered star" pattern flag:
The flags on the left side - appear to have 6 rows of 7 (with the 8th row rolled away from view since there never was a 42 star flag) in the "normal" rectangular pattern.
The 48 star flag came into being in 1912 and was official for 47 years. I think this parade took place on July 20, 1923 in honor of both a local memorial being dedicated and a visit from a French General under which many of the local WWI veterans served - which would explain the numerous French tricolors in the picture.
http://www.kckpl.lib.ks.us/kscoll/lochist/rosedale/Chap12.htm- The ColonelDecember 17, 2012 at 8:09 AM
For patriotic occasions all available U.S. flags were and are often used. In fact, I'm sure my small community is not alone in still using a large number of its 48-star flags that date to before 1959. It is perfectly acceptable to use/display older flags, as long as they are in good physical condition and proper flag etiquette is observed.

Subject: | optimization problem... Need help... |
Author: | Estelle001 |
Date: | Jul 7 2006 |
I have a problem.... I need to solve a quite difficult mathematical problem (to
me anyhow). I've been browsing the web for quite some hours now and still am
puzzeled how to solve this problem (would like to create a php program for this)
or to find the mathematical solution. I've read about the knapsack problem, but
I'm not sure I'm on the right track as my problem has no "weight" (I think...
So, this is my challenge:
I have an unlimited number of coins, let's hypothetically say with value 5, 7,
10, 15, 25 and 50 (let's suppose this would exist in USD).
I want to fill my purse with a number of coins and the total value should be for
example 71 USD with that restriction that I want 12 coins in my purse or a
number of coins as close to 12. If 71 can not be composed with 12 coins, I need
to find the combination of coins as close to 71 (but not higher !) with a number
of coins as close to 12 (slightly below or slightly above).
Hm, even formulating the problem is not easy. I hope you understand the problem.
Is this a knapsack problem??? Or should I look in another direction? Can s.o.
give me a clue how to solve this? Even better.. If anyone would know a php
program (or java or so) for it, that would be GREAT!? or the formula...
Maybe this problem is easier to you than to me (hope so).
thans to all !

Social Question
Did ancient people have less BO?
Asked by Judi (39679)
December 25th, 2012
I have noticed that when I eat processed foods (and to much of them) my body odor stinks worse. In ancient times they had less processed foods (I think) and food was more scarce.
I'm sure they stunk plenty since they didn't shower and do laundry as often, but do you think they produced LESS BO per day?
Just a silly curious question. I really want to know but I am OK with silly answers as well.
Feeling stinky from all the Christmas indulgence.

From time to time, people colouring their hair have an "oops" moment and dribble some of the dye onto the porcelain sink. If the dye is not wiped away immediately, there is a good chance it will create a stain. Fortunately, hair colour stains on porcelain are not permanent and are easily removed with regular household cleaning items. Because porcelain is somewhat delicate in nature, it is important to test a small, inconspicuous area of the porcelain before proceeding.
- Skill level:
- Easy
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- Hydrogen peroxide or chlorine bleach
- Colour-fast cloth
Show More
- 1
Mix together one part hydrogen peroxide or bleach with three parts warm water.
- 2
Dip a colour-fast cloth into the diluted cleaner and saturate it. Be careful to avoid dripping on carpets and towels.
- 3
Wring a small amount of the cleaner out of the cloth onto the stain. Let the diluted cleaner sit for about five to 10 seconds.
- 4
Rub the stained area in a circular motion with the cloth until the stain is removed. Rinse the area with water. Repeat the process if the stain is not removed.
Tips and warnings
- Do not put hydrogen peroxide or bleach on porcelain at full strength.
- Do not let the diluted cleaner sit on the porcelain for more than the indicated time.

Humpty Dumpty was sitting on the wall,
Sucking his thumb and scratching his balls.
He began beating his meat so hard,
He fell from the wall and landed hard.
Old Humpty Dumpty landed face down,
And stuck his hard cock right in the ground.
When the King's Men came to put him back,
They saw Humpty's cock jammed in a crack.
The King's Captain said "You're lucky boy,
You damned near busted your little toy!"
Humpty was embarrassed and turned pink,
Said "I'll not do that no more I think!"
But as we know from the story told,
Humpty's word wasn't made of no gold.
He was beating his meat when he fell,
This story's almost to sad to tell.
Yes Humpty fell from that wall again,
And he made a real mess when he fell.
The "King's Men" got lots of scrambled eggs,
And poor old Humpty went straight to Hell!!

text: News Volunteers sought to prepare media manifesto project March 24, 2011 3:23 by Tim Burrowes 0 Representatives from Australia's media agencies and media owners are being asked to join a working group to do the groundwork for a new manifesto for the media industry to be thrashed out at Mumbrella360. The next two months will see the working group create a list of key articles to be discussed and agreed at Mumbrella360 which takes place in Sydney on June 7 and 8. The Mumbrella360 session – titled Establishing a change manifesto for Australia's media industry – is being curated by media agency PHD after it was voted for by Mumbrella readers. PHD strategy director Chris Stephenson explains the vision for the manifesto: The working group will meet three times during April to agree the objectives of the manifesto; to agree what the manifesto will cover and how far it will go; and to agree the format of the session at Mumbrella360. The aim is that by the end of the Mumbrella360 session, a manifesto has been agreed by the audience that – subject to ratification by the Media Federation and other industry bodies – can be put before the industry as a whole. The aim is for representatives from all of Australia's major media agencies and media owners to take part in the session. The plan is to produce a manifesto which reacts to the changes facing the media industry and sets a course for the future. In PHD's proposal for the session, it said: "Australia's media planning and buying industry – like others around the world – is witnessing fundamental shifts in the media landscape. The impact of digital communications and technologies, the disintermediation of the broadcast interruption model, demand side platforms and trading desks, social media and socialisation of advertising, fragmentation of media planning and buying services into digital and creative agencies and the monetisation of communications revenue in an online-oriented world to name just a few. This is combined with increased pressure on margins from the commoditisation of media and influence of procurement departments in marketing, but also from high churn and challenging staff retention rates. "So what is actually changing as a result? How are we restructuring, and evolving our offering? How is what we are doing today different from what we were doing twelve or even twenty-four months ago? And how are we educating and involving our clients so that they come on the journey with us? "We need a shared manifesto. A manifesto for change. One that we all agree on. One that we can signal to everyone who works in our industry. One that we can signal to clients. One that frames the conversations between agencies and media owners. A manifesto that galvanises our industry, defends our margins and energises our people." Stephenson said that an inspiration for the project is the Cluetrain Manifesto which set out a series of beliefs for marketing in the online age. Although the session is being curated by PHD, he emphasised that the intention is for it to be open to all within media. Anybody interested in joining the working party – particularly those working at media agencies and media owners – should email Stephenson at firstname.lastname@example.com. Tickets for Mumbrella360 are now on sale. ADVERTISEMENT

Eyes are the window to the soul. A car's eyes are its headlights, a critical and increasingly important design element. With headlights, automakers can integrate LED lights arranged in distinctive designs like the "eyelashes" on Audis and the sharp "L" on Lexus vehicles. Other new car headlight designs remain free of LED accent lights some may describe as distracting.
With or without accent lights, new cars can be had with halogen, HID, and LED technology – options that can significantly change the front end design.
For today's Thread of the Day, Frisky_Dingo asks about your favorite headlight designs. Some forum picks include the Chevrolet Sonic, Infiniti G37 Coupe, and the new Mazda6. What are your favorites? Name them in the comments below.

Single Lady Brags About Using Match.com to Get Guys to Buy Her Dinner
I wasn't going to write about this, but it started making me madder and madder, so here I am. Business Insider today writes of a woman named Jessica Sporty, who, at 23, was simply too poor on her $45K salary to take care of her $1,475 a month (ahem -- Murray Hill) apartment and also her extra $500 or $1000 in credit card bills, so, she took to Internet dating on Match.com to essentially get dudes to buy her dinner and keep her out of debt.
One million sighs. O.K., for the sake of the argument, let's just say this story is for real; that Sporty does not have some angle in publicizing it (like a book deal? A dating guide, mayhaps? A hilarious new rom-com?); and that we're going to give her some slight benefit of the doubt. New York is expensive, and Match.com is not, after all, known for its overall high caliber wonderful, charitable, always honest people. Not to specifically call out Match.com -- the INTERNET, in fact, is not known for always being the most moral playground, and yet, ironically, is known for railing on anyone who fails to meet our very high standards. And dating, in fact, is not known as a situation in which everyone behaves perfectly and wonderfully.
But a comment like this is just disgusting:
"Before I barely had enough money to pay for food," said Sporty. "After using Match.com I found I wasn't going into debt anymore."
Yeah, New York is expensive. Yeah, you have high standards and you want to, like, buy shoes and go out and have fun. Yeah, this is a hilarious little tale to share with your girlfriends, the way you would share tales of bad, hilarious dates. Men use women far more than women use men, that's the stereotype, right? And bankers "were thrilled to woo her with extraordinary restaurants like the underground taqueria La Esquina and a Japanese restaurant, Megu, in Tribeca. One guy even took her to a champagne bar and purchased a $200 bottle."
Ha ha. What a gas. Further, what an economic windfall:
Sporty went from easily spending $500 a month on dinners alone to having someone else dole out an average of $60-plus per night. She also stopped eating lunch and opted for a light breakfast to save even more.

Her roommates joined in, and, there were spreadsheets made, and well, now we have a trend story. Women who use men to feed them. How progressive. During the "experiment" the ladies "soon learned how prevalent the online dating scene had become in New York City."
Sporty eventually gave up on the game and according to the story, has a boyfriend. But the problem with this is not with one girl, or even with a girl and her roommates. It's that there are actually people in New York City who do want to find each other and form some semblance of a good, honest, loving relationship. And people like Sporty make it that much harder for any of them -- any of us -- to trust each other. It's hard enough out there; we don't need this sort of crap that makes everyone suspicious and jaded and fraught with doubts and indecision. God, please say we're not this awful.
Can this be a lesson for good, somehow?
Update: Business Insider has retracted this woman's name and photo and is now calling her "Minerva McGonagall." They've also killed comments on the post, because "people were taking it waaaay too seriously," which makes us wonder why we are reading Business Insider at all. After all, they're the ones who brought this to our attention in the first place.

Members of the Grafton/Port Washington hockey team haven't had any luck winning games this season, but after last Friday, they are certainly counting their blessings.Ice Hawks head coach Dan Wade and two of his players sustained minor injuries when their team bus was broadsided by a jackknifed semitrailer in a harrowing crash on Highway 60 in Dodge County."We were extremely fortunate. It could have been really bad," said Wade, who received a concussion and bruises.
"I looked up and saw the truck barreling toward us at 55 mph. I knew we were going to be hit hard. It was unbelievable. We just tried to hang on."Wade and 14 players from the co-op high school team were in a Riteway Bus Service coach bus headed west on Highway 60 to a game in Viroqua when the crash occurred.According to the Wisconsin State Patrol, the bus was stopped at the intersection of highways 60 and 26 in the Town of Clyman at about 3:15 p.m. When the bus pulled out into the three-way intersection, it was struck by a northbound semitrailer whose driver tried to slow and swerve around the bus before the collision."He hit the brakes and skidded about 75 feet before the truck jackknifed," Wade said."Thank goodness that happened because it slowed the truck. If it hadn't jackknifed at the last second, things would have turned out very badly."The wheels of the truck cab struck the undercarriage of the bus, jarring most of the team members from their seats. Although the front of the bus was lifted, it didn't overturn.Wade said he went headfirst into a window."I was tossed around like a rag doll. I got up and asked if everyone was all right," he said.Authorities said weather was not a factor in the crash, which occurred on dry pavement.Most of the players were unhurt, though two complained of minor injuries and were transported by ambulance to a local hospital along with the bus driver. A Grafton freshman sustained whiplash, and a Port Washington senior had a knee injury, Wade said.All three were treated and released. The truck driver was not injured.The state patrol, Dodge County deputies, firefighters and emergency medical crews responded to the scene quickly, according to Wade."They started arriving within 45 seconds. Most of us were banged up, but we were so happy that no one was more seriously hurt," he said.Emergency crews stayed on the scene with team members for about three hours, during which time players called their families to get rides back home."The kids actually took it pretty well. Some of them even asked if we were going to a get a replacement bus and go to the game," Wade said.In addition to cancelling Friday's game, the Ice Hawks called off a Saturday road game against Black River Falls. The accident was the latest mishap in what the first-year coach described as "a very rough season" for his team."We were planning to have a pretty good team this year, but we lost nine of our top 11 players to injuries and suspensions," Wade said."We were real excited to get a lot of guys back this week, but then this happened."Forced to go with a young lineup throughout the season, the Ice Hawks headed to Friday's game with an 0-17 season record.Grafton High School Principal Ken McCormick said the team's struggles on the ice pale next to its good fortune in avoiding more serious problems Friday."We were very lucky that only a few kids were injured, and that those injuries were minor," McCormick said."It sounds like the driver of the truck did a great job to prevent a more serious accident. It could have been so much worse."

No One Cares, Imagine That

The amount of people signed up for the Vert is Dead Contest is the same as the grand total from that Gravis sales contest we had a while back. Just to be clear: It's not a vert contest! Here are some photos of what we're doing: Funeral Arrangements: Vert is Dead.
Word on the street is either The Nuge or Christian Hosoi is showing up, but definitely not both.
