Looking into refining my upper into a tack driver. Currently using a bushmaster 20" A3.
I want to put either a sabre defense 20" or a noveske.
Aestheically speaking I like the sabre. However I live ten miles away from noveske and all I ever hear is how durable and fantastic they are.
Are they equivalent? I plan on using it for varmint, practice, and of course (if not most importantly) shtf.

thatrobert wrote:Not a spell fail -- please look it up. Glamer is an older word and is commonly used in D&D when talking about magic armor. There is also a separate specific spell that is spelled Glamour.
I was not aware of the 'Glamer' spelling of the word, only being familiar with the 'Glamour' spelling from my AD&D 2nd days. I'm cool with it either way and enjoy thinking of it like a 'trendy corporate spelling' on the shirt. It's their trademarked name for the otherwise non-special process, like 'Hi-Powah' or 'Flavor-Blazted'. If those elfing about it would look at it that way, they might like it better. And if that corporate buzzword has a pop-culture meaning that the company doesn't know about, then all the better.
Also, this shirt is significantly different from the green one, having only a loose resemblance in concept and completely different execution.
paigeg wrote:I think post length made Woot truncate the quote I was replying to but....
"Glamer" I will agree that it's an archaic Scots word that has since evolved into 'glamor' and 'glamour'. Still, it reads more like a joke - 'G-Lamer', as others have pointed out above. I guess I get it, whichever way you want to justify it. But to the masses, it's either a spell fail or a disparaging reference to underwear gamers. I'd go with the spell fail and just work with it.
Maybe it was lost in the discussion, but if you look in the D&D manual for this, it would be spelled "Glamer". I'm not choosing an archaic word for the fun of it, I'm just following the appropriate geek reference. I can guarantee you if I spelled it "glamour", some purists would be complaining.

Re: Forest Fantasy
Id buy this shirt even if it were just the chick Chocobo. That's freaken adorable.
Re: Kitty evolution
An RPG has a character or group of characters that you control and usually, create, as they progress through a fictional storyline. Throughout the game, you gradually power up the skills, stats, and equipment of your characters as the enemies get progressively tougher, eventually culminating in a boss battle. Thus, Pokemon is certainly an RPG, as you level up and evolve your monsters to prepare for tougher trainers and, eventually, the Elite Four. Halo, however, is not an RPG, as your pre-defined character's skills remain constant throughout the game. Mario games are not RPGs for the same reason.
Therefore, the topic of this shirt is firmly in the realm of this derby.
Re: roll players only
Yeah, I agree, Love it. I'm not a huge fan of the color, but I love the design so much I can completely ignore that. Same goes for the "iTroll" shirt. I love it and I swear it's not getting the votes it deserves. Cracks me up.
Re: He Has His Mothers Voice
I'm still keeping hope up that this wins, I've tried to spread it on a few message boards hoping that others will do the same. I've been completely disappointed in the lack of Skyrim shirts so far, this one needs some credit.
Re: High School Class
What's a "barbarbarian?" Is this some geek joke I'm not privy to?
Nice Shirt! However, it looks like that wand on the left isn't on fire or anything, which makes me question whether that mouse is really role-playing, or just magical.

Thanks! I was wondering if anyone would get the pun. I traveled with a choir & chamber ensemble through Europe one summer in the eighties, and the chamber group played A Little Night Music at almost every performance...

It was not a huge crowd of angry people protesting Russia's war in South Ossetia and Gerogia but the fact there were any people in the streets of St. Petersburg uttering words of criticism against their government was a dramatic step forward for Russia. The Russian people, much like Americans, have been subjected to government encouraged biased views concerning what is happening in the Caucasus. One of the protestors held up a sign saying, "We Need Informaton. Not Propaganda." The demonstration was organized by the youth wing of the democratic party, Yabloko. The group made clear it would "refrain from apportioning blame about who it was that started the war." They simply wanted to express their dislike of any form of fighting regardless of who initiated the war.
Naturally, in Putin Russia, police filmed those who spoke of peace. As one of the signs noted so eloquently: "We Are With Those Who Are Being Killed Not with Those Who are Killing."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Ohh...convincing them to clip/shave the fur around the sores could he tough, but I'll let them know! His fur is 4-6" long in most spots. I will, however, let them know!
|JakodaCD OA
My male aussie gets nasty yucky 'sores' usually this time of year, in fact he's got a good one going on right now, they are usually fungus/staph, he's had them his entire life at certain times of the year , they just 'blow up' out of nowhere
I make sure the fur all around them are clipped close, clean daily (about 3 times or more depending),,put him on an antibiotic, usually use vetericyn altho I've been known to use other things.
I think the biggest thing, besides getting advice/meds from the vet is, to keep the area shaved up so air can get to it, and keep it clean..
I don't think they switched antibiotics - just gave them more of the same. However, I don't have ALL of the information. Just getting bits and pieces from my mom when I pester her about how their dog is doing. I will let them know about the skin scraping if this problem persists - although I'm not holding my breath on them taking much action with it. While I love my parents...they aren't great about taking advice from me when it comes to the health of their pets. They certainly don't neglect them, but I can't say I'm happy with their lack of motivation to call the vet when things pop up.
However...I do have someone on the inside. My youngest brother still lives at home, and he definitely concerns himself with the wellbeing of the pets, so I can have him help me push on them to take some more action.
My pit mix had severe allergies that caused staph infections. Eventually antibiotics stopped working. The round areas are fungal. He passed that on to me twice. It was ring worm. But not to any other member of my family. He needs to go to a dermatologist. He'll probably need internal and external medications as well as figuring out the real source of all of this. Most likely allergies. The dermatologist will save hundreds of dollars in the long run because they deal with this every day. There is no guessing. At least that's how it was for us.

|I think staph in dogs is more common than we think. First, I hate when vets just switch antibiotics without doing a culture. They are just adding to the anti resistant bugs we have out there. I would insist on a culture to find out exactly what they are dealing with.
Oh, I'm not advising them to stop his current antibiotics at all. No worries there! The second vet (the one who hates my parents' dog) didn't even have them bring Chaco in. He simply listened to their description, said, "That can happen," and gave them a new prescription for antibiotics and said to call back in a week or so - I believe a week if it isn't improving at all, or is getting worse...or two weeks if it's improving, but hasn't completely cleared up.
I know that staph infections for dogs is not terribly uncommon, so I'm assuming the symptoms are easily recognized...I just find it odd that he wouldn't want to even look at it, as Chaco is presenting symptoms in a completely different area.
|Some dogs just have reoccurring skin issues. I have a Golden mix that gets staph infections during rainy and humid seasons. I give her a round of Cephalexin, clean the area with Vetericyn, and wash her with medicated shampoo. It clears up within a week. See the vet and keep it under control. Pay greater attention to triggers and avoid them. For example, when it is rainy, I make sure to blow dry my Golden well - this helps with her infections.
|I've had to go a few rounds of antibiotics to clear an infection on a dog as well as myself. It's not a rare thing. I wouldn't try a bunch of home remedies without 1) having the vet conclude they are still dealing with staph and 2) keeping on the appropriate antibiotics.
[QUOTE=evybear15;2735034]Now that's something I could get them to try! Would they apply the CO or ACV directly to the affected areas? I am assuming that this would be something they could safely do while continuing his current treatment, or something they'd want to try after?
yes...mix 50/50 of acv (should be raw organic like "braggs") and soak a clean (free of fabric softeners and dyes) cloth or put in spray bottle if will tolerate it...might sting, but it's a good sting that cools and then feels better...let dry and rub in the C.O. after - you want to get rid of any loose crusts first, so comb out. You can feed the CO too...1tsp/10 lbs. body weight and use in conjuction with a human grade fish oil (fish body oil has more EPA/DHA then salmon alone) 1-2000mg to start. re: CO - Nutiva good brand - mid price range, if looking for some are chemically pressed or heat treated - don't want that.
If giving the dog a bath or even soaking down - can do a whole body rinse after with 50/50 acv/water - don't rinse off

ringworm is highly contagious so if your dog was playing with, then watch for signs, if you find then you can likely rule that in. could be dry skin or hotspots leading to staph - again the CO and AVC as well as fish body oil in diet and a good "natural" b-complex (natural will contain b12 in form of methylcobalamin - not "cyano" version) and a no-flush niacin....B3 (niacin) is indictated for use in MRSA and C. Diff. bacteria's
I haven't noticed anything on Baxter, and I check him pretty thoroughly on a daily basis while petting/massaging him, so I'd be able to tell if anything were popping up on him. However...Chaco doesn't really play with Baxter. He doesn't dislike him, necessarily, they're just...not buddies. They're perfectly well mannered with one another, but dislike playing together. It's interesting. When they're together with my brother's dog, the three of them will play, but it's always Chaco playing only with Darwin, Baxter only playing with Darwin, and Darwin playing with both of them. It's an odd arrangement they have, but as long as they're not fighting and there's no tension, I'm okay with it!

As a computational intelligence / soft computing geek, I always get excited when these technologies are applied to real life problems.
Having spent decades in solving control, prediction, evaluation, and decision support problems in aerospace, geology, educational psychology, construction, economics and the like, it was good to see this work in using genetic algorithms to partner collaboration cost structures: http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~content=a782759954~db=all~jumptype=rssoptimize collaboration
"The paper elaborately analyses various collaboration patterns betweendistributed partners with the corresponding evaluation metrics forcollaboration time and cost."

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 105
hi, thanks for the reply!
so you got the distro-bug too? hehehe good luck at it!
i don't know if i understand what you mean when you say distros don't deserve to be paid.
there are a lot of distros out there doing a great work for the community and having ordered from quite a few by now, i've come to admire the work people put in them. usually they're run by only one person, and from what i've read (even before imagining starting my distro, on my own too) it can be quite an amount of work. also, dealing with other people's money (costumers) is a responsibility, no matter what you think about money...
emailing zine-editors, working on a website/online shop, dealing with orders, dealing with costumers, packaging stuff, going to the post office to mail out orders, etc, etc, that's hard work, even though people do it because they want to and like it.
so, even if a distro is doing "work" for a community, i don't see them as a "charity shop" kind of thing. people are putting their time, energy and money into their distros, because they want to sure, but i think they should get something back from it, be it some money (little money most of the times) or support from zinesters. money helps keep a distro going, and kind words from zinesters help keeping hearts warmer and people hopeful, i'd say ;-)
E.T. zine distro said:well today i started my own distro, and i now have two zines for sale. my zine distro is called "E.T. zine distro". i dont think it was too difficult. i am planning on having more zines in my catalog, but 2 is good for a beginner i think. also i have experience with accepting flats to copy & assemble and it worked out okay. with payment, i'll tell people that want to buy the other zine in my catalog to put it straight into the other persons paypal!!! cause i dont deserve to be paid, i dont think any distro does.
oooh also, i am very lucky to have a Holly Fluxx zine in my catalog cause she's pretty famous, she's a rapper you know, and a proper artist n stuff!!!!
i looked up some online shop websites, like Big Cartel, and they seem to have good options, but i'm not gonna risk paying a monthly fee to put up the store there.
>maybee distros should be paid, but if they get paid, then the zinester (who's number 1) loses money to you and to the stores. it would be easier to just tell people to get it from the zinester him/her self.. or you could run a distro where you get paid nothing.! (but you'll still feel important.)

(but you'll still feel important.)
Right, I don't make money out of my distro. Very few distro owners too. By "get money" we're usually talking about small amounts that are "made" out of the retail markup which can then be spent on website hosting, envelopes, more stock, etc.
You are aware that distros actually have the stock? Otherwise you're not a distro but someone just compiling a list of places people can get zines themselves? The advantage of a distro is that you can get a range of zines in one place that you might not have come across otherwise and/or postage for a pile of zines from one place is cheaper than lots of postage from individual people. Telling someone to get zines from the zinester themselves is nothing more than recommendations, it's not a distro.
I don't do this to feel important. I do this for a million a reasons, but feeling important definitely isn't one of them.

Fail: Republicans' maddening messaging mess
posted at 3:30 pm on December 4, 2012 by Guy Benson
They say the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over again, yet expecting different results. Based on this standard, Republicans are in desperate need of an intervention. Over at Townhall, I've described how bizarro-world Republicans might have exploited the occasion of their "fiscal cliff" counteroffer to at least improve their standing in the essential realm of public perception:
(1) On Sunday evening, Republican leadership aides leak word to key media figures that their bosses will be calling a press conference the following afternoon, at which they'd unveil a "major announcement" or "breakthrough" regarding the fiscal cliff.
(2) This news bleeds out online overnight, leading to rampant speculation — which builds anticipation. The chattering class on Morning Joe and Fox & Friends debate what might the afternoon might have in store. Media outlets set up shop outside the Capitol, with reporters doing live hits throughout the day.
(3) By early afternoon, designated staffers begin to offer the press a few morsels about the details of the announcement, fueling the hype.
(4) At 3pm ET (when the actual letter was made public yesterday), Speaker Boehner and his leadership team stride out onto the steps of the Capitol building and gather around a bank of microphones. Perhaps they're flanked by a few small business owners. With cameras rolling — several of the cable news channels even pick up the live feed — Boehner holds up the exact same letter, and says something like:
"I hold in my hand a letter we've just sent to the White House. The American people are demanding a bipartisan compromise to avoid the fiscal cliff and the threat of another painful recession, and we Republicans have decided to take the lead in heeding the will of the people. Today, we are announcing our support for a deal originally outlined by a Democrat named Erskine Bowles — President Clinton's chief of staff and the co-chairman of President Obama's fiscal commission. It includes some elements that we don't like very much, quite frankly, including $800 Billion in new revenues. It also makes absolutely necessary spending reductions, which the American people have said must be the biggest element of any 'balanced' plan. The Bowles plan is balanced, reasonable, and fair, which is why — despite some of our misgivings — we are embracing it, and we urge the White House and our friends across the aisle to join us."
(5) Boehner cedes the microphone to the requisite merry-go-round of leaders standing behind him (presumably the signatories of the letter, including Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan and Cathy McMorris Rodgers), each of whom makes a brief statement hammering home three or four key messaging points for Republicans. "The Bowles plan." "Bipartisan compromise." "$800 Billion in new revenues." Etc.
(6) These images and key soundbytes dominate the next news cycle. Even if Democrats instantly reject the proposal, there's a much higher level of awareness that it exists (an improvement over the status quo) and some people might even ask a few tough questions about why Democrats were so flippant and dismissive about a major overture from Republicans.
My aim here is not to pour more opprobrium on the beleaguered House Republican leadership. They're facing a very difficult dilemma, with limited leverage, and bad-faith actors sitting across the table. But surely the GOP can reconsider its messaging and public relations strategy, which has been falling short for months. Boehner's counteroffer isn't a flawless document, but while conservatives are fighting internally about substance, most Democrats are happily focused on political positioning. That might be cynical and reckless, but it's reality. Even if Republicans managed to craft the perfect compromise, it wouldn't matter if the public never heard about it in a context that could help shift their superficial assumptions about which side is acting responsibly. Democrats are absolutely fine sitting back and letting the GOP negotiate against itself, so long as Republicans remain on the hook for blame if the Howard Dean endorsed cliff-dive transpires. Conservatives need a game changer; sending off a letter doesn't quite qualify, to put it mildly.
UPDATE – The perfect companion piece, via the Headlines:
While 53 percent of those surveyed say the GOP would (and should) lose the fiscal cliff blame game, just 27 percent say President Obama would be deserving of more of the blame. Roughly one in 10 (12 percent) volunteer that both sides would be equally to blame. Those numbers are largely unchanged from a Post-Pew survey conducted three weeks ago and suggest that for all of the back and forth in Washington on the fiscal cliff, there has been little movement in public perception. The numbers also explain why Republicans privately fret about the political dangers of going over the cliff, while Democrats are more sanguine about such a prospect.

Activist Clay Chastain won a quasi-victory in a lengthy court battle to put his sales tax plans for mass transit on the Kansas City ballot. Chastain sees the taxes as partial funding for his concept of light rail, commuter rail and streetcar systems. The state Supreme Court overturned lower court decisions that Chastain's tax proposals were unconstitutional. The Supreme Court said that wasn't the case and the proposed language met constitutional muster. But the court also said that if the taxes were approved by voters, receipts would not have to be used for transportation funding, thus nullifying, at least in part, Chastain's plan. The litigation is now back in the circuit court where it began. The uncertainty of the Chastain plan's future adds to the confusion already caused by myriad transportation plans under discussion.
The "Friends of KCI" group is refusing to compromise with the city council over ballot language contained in the "Friends" initiative petition concerning future activity at KCI. The council says the petition language is too broad and would affect activities at "any city-controlled airport," not just KCI.
A Republican Representative from Parkville has filed articles of impeachment against Missouri's governor Jay Nixon. The articles allege Nixon violated the constitution when he issued an executive order allowing legally married same-sex couples to file joint tax returns in Missouri. Representative Nick Marshall points to the state constitution's ban on gay marriage.
In a recent column, Yael Abouhalkah notes that Mayor Sly James looks like a shoo-in for re-election unless one of several circumstances slows James' momentum. One addition to the list: heavy snow storms. The way a mayor appears to handle a severe storm can enhance or diminish a mayor's standing with voters.

Motorcycle racing
NHMS events cap Bike Week '13
By ALLEN LESSELS
New Hampshire Union Leader | June 16. 2013 12:07AM
Tailgating with a view - from left are Andre Rainville, Nashua, Carlos Quinones, Portsmouth and Dennis Rainville, Nashua. (JAY REITER/Union Leader)
"We were lying in bed this morning, and Julie talked about checking out the motorcycle races," Glenn said. "We decided to give it a shot."
The motorcycle races - among the events that traditionally cap Motorcycle Week in Laconia - draw sparse crowds compared with the New Hampshire 300 Sprint Cup weekend, expected to pack the aluminum stands with some 100,000 racing enthusiasts on July 14.
Eric Trahan races motorcycles three or four weekends a year at the track, but opted to sit out this weekend.
Mathews, who grew up in Concord and played a couple of years of football at the University of New Hampshire, gets a kick out of watching the people who are watching the races, too.
Lombardo expects crowds of between 17,000 and 20,000 each day on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Would you like to build one mobile web application that works on iPad and Kindle Fire as well as iPhone and Android smartphones? This introductory guide to jQuery Mobile shows you how. Through a series of hands-on exercises, you'll learn the best ways to use this framework's many interface components to build customizable, multiplatform apps. You don't need any programming skills or previous experience with jQuery to get started.
By the time you finish this book, you'll know how to create responsive, Ajax-based interfaces that work on a variety of smartphones and tablets, using jQuery Mobile and semantic HTML5 code.
Maximiliano Firtman, @firt, is a developer focused on mobile and HTML5 development. He is a trainer in mobile technologies and founder of ITMaster Professional Training. He is the author of many books, including Programming the Mobile Web (O'Reilly). He has spoken at international conferences such as OSCON, Velocity, Breaking Development, GOTO Europe, Campus Party, QCon, and Adobe en Vivo. He has been an Adobe Community Professional since 2011 and a Nokia Developer Champion since 2006, and he has developed many mobile-related projects, such as MobileHTML5.org, MobileTinyURL.com, and iWebInspector.com.

The animal on the cover of jQuery Mobile: Up and Running is a Japanese sable (Martes zibellina brachyurus(/i>). Found on Hokkaido, the northernmost island of Japan, it is one of the many subspecies of the sable, an inhabitant of coniferous forests across Russia and in Mongolia and northern China.
Sables are prized for their soft, silky brown fur. Their pelts have been a staple of the fur trade since the Middle Ages and were a favorite among early modern European royalty. The Russian subspecies are the most highly prized, and the animals are both commercially farmed and hunted wild today.
Sables are 12–18 inches long, not including a 5- to 7-inch tail, and weigh 2–5 pounds. Their fur ranges from light to dark brown and shows a lighter patch on the throat. The Japanese subspecies is distinguished by black markings on its legs and feet.
These omnivorous mammals are crepuscular (active at twilight) and have a varied diet including mammals, birds, fish, eggs, insects, and plants. They may hunt animals larger than themselves—even small deer—and also scavenge other animals' kills. A litter of three pups is born after an eight-month period of delayed implantation (during which the embryos are dormant) and one month of gestation. Sables sometimes interbreed with pine martens, producing a hybrid known as a kidus.

About Me Developer
Comments about oreilly jQuery Mobile: Up and Running:
I've read 3 other books on jQuery Mobile lately and I believe this one is the best (although the others are good as well). I think it's the combination of clear - and in-depth - explanations along with good pictures and code examples that sets this one apart from the rest.The discussions on how the framework itself works, along with the particulars on the individual elements such as lists and form components are very good. He even covers things like themes, plugins and converting your web app into a native one.If you're a developer you have to be aware of what's going on in the mobile world, and jQuery Mobile is easily a big and important part of that new world.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is one of the best written books I ever read. The style of writing is so good that it is easy to understand concepts presented in the book and try it yourself. The author explains the concepts behind each feature he introduces unlike some other authors who leave some stuff without an explanation and reader has to scratch his head to figure out what it means. He seems to cover many angles of each feature and this is important for developers. Overall, I find the writing of the author very smooth. In fact I bought another book recently on HTML5 and had to stop reading it as too many things were not explained.Of course I found one inconsistency between code and a related figure but that is very minor. Proof reading has to be improved!
Great introduction to jQuery Mobile
By Theo
from Netherlands
About Me Designer
I read several books about jQuery Mobile and "jQuery Mobile: Up and Running" is definitely my favorite. I really recommend everyone who wants to learn jQuery Mobile to read this book.In my opinion you can read this book and learn jQuery Mobile without any knowledgde of the jQuery core framework. Basic knowlegde about HTML and CSS is necessary however.With the help of this book I wrote tutorials about how to design a mobile website with the jQuery Mobile framework. You can find those tutorials on http://www.webdesignforbeginners.info

Good book :)
By Fale
from Milan, Italy
jQuery Mobile is a library that allows you to develop mobile apps using jQuery. Is even possible to use a jQuery Mobile program as a native app, thanks to programs like PhoneGap.This book assumes that you already know jQuery and I think that this is good since the author can focus only on the main topic in this way. I think you should know or study jQuery before even starting this book. I do know that's possible to understand jQuery code even if you don't know anything of JavaScript if you have rock solid programming knowledge, but I discourage it.I really liked this book since it says what to do and what not to do for each of the ten sections. Also it has hundreds of images that will help you through the learning process.I would suggest this book to everyone who is interested into developing a cross-platform app or a mobile website.
Finally a book on jQuery mobile
By sandyboy55
from St Louis, MO
jQuery Mobile has taken the world of mobile development by storm. With an incredible fully enhanced A-grade AJAX support for all the major platforms and desktop browsers, it has become a viable choice to start coding mobile applications quickly compared to the step learning curve for native development. Not only that, you can also deploy your jQuery mobile webapp natively to many mobile devices using the phenomenal PhoneGap. This book will teach you how. One of the drawbacks of this book is that it assumes you know jQuery, which is fine for the most part. Event handling and Theme rolling are explained very nicely. You would need another jQuery book to supplement this jQuery Mobile book. You don't need this book if you are not doing any mobile development but, if you are, then this is one of the books you must have on your bookshelf (or a mobile device like Kindle or iPad).

Early Release is Just That
By 1StepAheadMobile
from Coral Springs, FL
Is it 5 Star, I don't know. My rating is to bring some balance. If you buy an Early Release, don't trash it because it's an Early Release. Or complain the date slipped to December when jQuery Mobile was not released until Nov. 16th.The real litmus test: Did the book help? Did it save time? I played with jQuery Mobile without reading "jQuery Mobile" (The June 2011 release, not "Up and Running"). The book quickly resolved the issues I was having in short order. Additionally got me up to speed on some other features I was not aware existed. jQuery Mobile needs to be tweaked by the Web Designer. For Example I think the name of this class is too long and needs to be shortened: class="ui-li ui-li-divider ui-btn ui-bar-a ui-corner-top ui-btn-down-undefined ui-btn-up-undefined". Now if I were to make tweaks without the book, it would take considerably longer, eating up time much more valuable than the price of the book. The book version I read was penned by Jon Reid. "Up and Running" is by Maximiliano Firtman. As a previous reviewer mentioned there were references to an other book I have to assume this is his "Programming the Mobile Web". Which in my opinion is THE BEST book on the Mobile Web. Even thought the book was published a year before this one, it still is very a very worthwhile and valid read.I you are doing Mobile Website Design, you need to look into jQuery Mobile. If you are a Web Designer and not doing Mobile sites, you need to re-assess your career. If you are going to look at jQuery Mobile, it would be in your own best interest to read the book. If you are a Web Designer, there is only one question. Do you read the June, Jon Reid version, or wait for the final release of Up and Running by Maximiliano. My recommendation, get a Safari Online Books subscription, read them both, and Programming the Mobile Web. You can easily get enough out of just a trial subscription. 10 books a month for $28 is not a bad deal. But 5 books a month for $9.99 is hard to beat. Yes there is a $9.99 subscription, you just have to dig to find it.With a subscription you will get Maximiliano's "Mobile HTML 5" due out the end of January. No I do not know Maximiliano or have any kind of relationship to book selling or authors, I just read a lot. Maximiliano is the best I have read regarding Mobile Web Design. And I am not an Web Designers. I do wish Web Designers would read more, especially on the subject of "Simple and Usable" rather then "Slick and Dysfunctional" which in my humble opinion is what most Web Designers spew. And while your at it read about Web Performance. A Web Page Load Time greater then 2 seconds is unacceptable. You would know that if you read more about your own profession.

It could be improved
By ToivoE

About Me Coding for fun on my own
Avoid early releases. The product page should show at least the progress indicator. For the current book: 5\10 chapters are ready. It could be better as a finished book. The first chapters is really a disappointment. Displaying pictures of phones (what???). "There are dozens of smartphone devices on the market, including ..."TOC and planned content of the book is nice. It could be used for teaching children @school.

Early Release version lacks guts
By Dan
from Northern Virginia
About Me Designer, Developer
After pre-buying this book, and waiting and waiting while the publication date slipped from July to October, I finally paid for and downloaded the Early Release version, only to find that the real guts of the book are not there yet. Now the publication date is December. When are we going to get some more useful content in the Early Release version?

What a disappointment
By Always Learning
from Australia
I do not appreciate when I buy a product only to have it tell me that I need to buy another product. The numerous references to the authors other book is at the very least annoying and bordering on offensive. The relevant content of the other book should be included.My concept of "early release" obviously differs to what has been offered, as half of the chapters have no content while some of the sections are what you would see in a public blog.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

text: Well, was definitely an eventful morning. First off, there was quite a bit of gobbling going on. After about 45 minutes, a few hens entered our field. They kind of wandered off to our left. Right after the hens left, a coyote tops the hill. I lip squeak to him, and he comes on right in. Gave it a face full of 3" #4's at 20 or so yards, and it still ran away. Maybe 60 seconds later after I took two shots at the coyote, the hens come back to the decoys. They came to about 10 yards of us, and shoved off. About an hour later, we hear a gobble. Do a little calling, and the gobbling gets louder. Louder, Louder, Louder until it is about 40 yards out. Two hens jump over the fence to our right into the field, followed by 4 jakes. And then out comes the big boy. As soon as he got into the field, he strutted his stuff. They all came to about 15 yards, and my dad let the tom have it. After the shot, all hell broke loose, and we ended up with the tom, and I took a jake at about 8 yards as he flew straight towards us after the shot! All in all, was an awesome morning. Never did find the coyote though.

The Center for International Studies hosted the U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria, the Honorable Terence McCulley, and a U.S. State Department delegation for a luncheon on Dec. 4 in the Black Labrador restaurant's Cezanne Room.
McCulley, previously a U.S. Ambassador to Mali, spoke at length to students and friends of the Center on U.S.-Nigerian relations and key issues both countries are working on.
"He offered cautious optimism that Nigeria was headed in the right direction under the current presidency of Goodluck Jonathan," said Dr. Richard Sindelar, assistant professor in CIS. "He also spoke on a variety of challenges, including the Boko Haram crisis in the northern provinces, corruption at all levels of government and society, and cooperation with regional African efforts to staunch the insurgency in Mali."
Attendees at the luncheon included former U.S Ambassador Chase Untermeyer; Alan Crain, vice president and general counsel of Baker Hughes; Abimbola Bukoye, counsel at FMC Technologies; and Anne J. Lohoues, a UST international studies graduate now serving in the offices of Houston Mayor Annise Parker.
The next CIS event will be the "Distinguished Diplomat" Endowed Lecture given by Ambassador John Negroponte in March. Negroponte was the director of National Intelligence and Deputy Secretary of State in President George W. Bush's administration.

'Degrassi' Star Jake Epstein Swings Into Action as Broadway's Spider-Man — The Daily Swoon
You might remember him best as heartbreaker Craig on 'Degrassi: The Next Generation,' but Jake Epstein is all grown up and has a new role as our favorite web-slinging superhero in the musical 'Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.'
Do you guys remember 'Degrassi'? Of course you do. Don't lie. We've all had our moments of flipping through channels when we see a 'Degrassi' marathon and can't take our eyes away from all that saucy Canadian teen drama.
Epstein played Craig, a wannabe rock star turned bad boy who broke plenty of hearts along the way. So obviously, we totally had a crush on him.
The good news is that Jake's still around and still incredibly swoon-worthy, perhaps even more so now that he's doing theater. He played Will in the first national tour of Green Day's 'American Idiot' and Melchior Gabor in the touring company of 'Spring Awakening,' and he's now on Broadway in 'Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark,' the once-doomed musical in which he gets to flex his singing muscles and his muscle-muscles in the title role.
In an interview with Buzzfeed, Epstein talked about (or "aboot," for you Canadian folks) the rigors of playing the superhero:
"To learn how to be in a harness was probably the hardest thing for me to learn. Besides all the songs and the scenes and all the stuff that would make doing a big part difficult and challenging, then there's this new thing that you've never done before," he said. "It's all about understanding your weight and how to shift your balance and a lot of core training, so that has definitely been the most difficult part of this."
He can act. He can sing. He can dance. He can fly through the air on a crazy harness. What more do you people want?
Check out some photos of Epstein below (including one in which he's all suited up as the famous web-slinger), and a 'Spring Awakening' promo video in which he sings his little heart out.

If you're considering an epidural to help manage the pain of childbirth, you're not alone. More than 60 percent of women delivering at hospitals elect for an epidural during labor. And with good reason: An epidural is considered one of the safest methods of pain control, with just one in 3,000 pregnancies experiencing serious complications. It's also good for you, since you'll remain awake and alert during the birth, as well as for your baby, since the drugs will barely reach your bloodstream (so they can't get into hers).
- What is an epidural?
- When you can get an epidural
- How an epidural is administered
- Tattoos and epidurals
- Pushing with an epidural
- The combined spinal-epidural ( "walking epidural")
- Risks and side effects
- Epidurals and multiple pregnancies
- Is an epidural right for you?
What is an epidural?
Injected directly into the spine (technically, into the epidural space, between the ligament that sheathes the vertebrae and the membrane that covers the spinal cord) an epidural is an anesthetic (or numbing agent) that usually numbs you from the waist down after 10 to 20 minutes.
When you can get an epidural
You can request an epidural as soon as you're ready, even if you're minimally dilated. You'll have to lie perfectly still as the shot is administered between contractions. Since this will get harder to do as your labor progresses, and in some hospitals you may have to wait for the anesthesiologist, it's a good idea to ask for the epidural early in the process. In fact, while it was once believed that getting an epidural too soon could slow labor or lead to an increased risk of C-section, new research shows that women who get early epidurals may actually have slightly shorter labors than those who receive their epidurals later.
READ MORE: 5 Things Moms Don't Expect from the Epidural
How an epidural is administered
Once you give the go-ahead for an epidural, you'll first be hooked up to IV fluids, which will prevent the drop in blood pressure that commonly happens during the procedure. Depending on your delivering hospital's policies, you might also be hooked up to a urinary catheter at this point, since getting out of bed may not be an option once you get your epidural.
To prep you for the main needle, you'll receive local anesthesia on a small area of your low- to mid-back, which will be sterilized with antiseptic. Once you're numb, you'll be asked to lie on your side or lean over a raised bedside table — with support from your partner, coach or a nurse — while a larger needle is inserted into the epidural space. Some women feel nothing at this point, while others report feeling pressure, tingling or momentary pain. Once the needle is in place, the anesthesiologist inserts a catheter (the fine tubing through which the drug is delivered). The needle is then removed, the catheter taped in place, and you'll be able to lie down again. From here it should be smooth — or much less painful! — sailing, with numbness from the bottom of your ribcage down.
READ MORE: What It Felt Like to Have an Epidural
Tattoos and epidurals
If you've got a lower-back tattoo, it shouldn't stop your anesthesiologist from giving you an epidural during labor. Though you might have heard that the dye in the tattoo can be picked up by the epidural or spinal-block needle and carried into the spinal fluid or bloodstream, it can't. Dye in a healed tattoo is fixed inside the skin. Plus, ink is chemically inert — in other words, totally harmless to the body — so even if it could enter the spine or bloodstream (highly unlikely in the first place), it wouldn't have any adverse effects.
Your anesthesiologist may legitimately balk, however, if your tattoo is just a few weeks old (hope not, since getting a tattoo during pregnancy isn't the best idea to begin with) and the skin is still red and inflamed (tattooed skin takes at least two weeks to heal). Poking an epidural needle through a raw tattoo can boost the chances of an infection, and the anesthesiologist won't want to take that risk.
Even with a well-healed tattoo, your anesthesiologist may opt to give you the epidural through a patch of undecorated skin to eliminate the very small risk that the injection will cause a scar that will disfigure your artwork. Not sure how your anesthesiologist will react? Consult with your practitioner or the hospital before you go into labor to make sure your tattoo won't raise any issues.
Pushing with an epidural
Should your labor slow, your doctor might administer Pitocin to get your contractions back up to speed. Though you'll be numb to the pain, most women find they're still able to push effectively with coaching from a nurse. You likely will sill have some sensation, but you will feel removed from it. If your labor doesn't progress with pain-free pushing, the epidural can be adjusted so that you'll be able to feel your contractions more strongly again. Likewise, the medication can be bumped up post-delivery as your doctor repairs any rips or tears.
READ MORE: What Really Happens During Labor
The combined spinal-epidural (or "walking epidural")
If you'd prefer to maintain some sensation in your legs, ask your doctor ahead of time about a combined spinal-epidural, commonly known as a walking epidural, which involves a smaller amount of medication inserted into your spinal fluid instead of into the epidural space. The result: You'll still be able to use the muscles in your legs. But don't be fooled by the name — even though you'll be able to feel your legs, you'll probably be too unsteady to get up and shuffle around.
Risks and side effects
As the drug kicks in, some women experience fever, headaches or a drop in blood pressure, which is generally remedied with IV fluids to ensure a sufficient amount of blood is still being pumped to your baby. Rare side effects include a numbness that spreads into the chest and neck, making it difficult to breath. If this happens, you'll be given oxygen through a mask or breathing tube until the anesthetic wears off.
Epidurals have also been found to extend the length of the second stage of labor, with a median increase of an hour in first-time moms and 16 minutes among moms who have already given birth.
While you may have heard that an epidural can make it harder for your baby to latch on and breastfeed, experts say this is very unlikely since in the vast majority of cases the drugs don't reach her bloodstream.
Epidurals and multiple pregnancies
If you're expecting twins or more, an epidural might be strongly encouraged — or even mandated — by your hospital, in case an emergency C-section is required to deliver. If you're hoping to avoid an epidural and are expecting multiples, speak with your practitioner and hospital ahead of time, because their policies could differ.
Is an epidural right for you?
Every step of pregnancy and parenthood comes down to personal choice or circumstance, so only you and your practitioner can decide what's right for you. Some moms just despise pain and see no reason to put themselves through it. Some moms know labor can be very tiring and decide an epidural may make it a little less so — saving some energy for after baby comes. Other moms prefer to labor without medication. Whatever the reason, know that it's your decision, and whatever you decide is the best thing for you.

40 New Data Points In Google Analytics API
July 9th, 2013 | Published in Google Analytics
Over the past year we've added many new features to Google Analytics. Today we are releasing all of this data in the Core Reporting API!
Custom Dimensions and Metrics
We're most excited about the ability to query for custom dimensions and metrics using the API.
Developers can use custom dimensions to send unique IDs into Google Analytics, and then use the core reporting API to retrieve these IDs along with other Google Analytics data.
For example, your content management system can pass a content ID as a custom dimension using the Google Analytics tracking code. Developers can then use the API to get a list of the most popular content by ID and display the list of most popular content on their website.
Mobile Dimensions and Metrics
We've added more mobile dimensions and metrics, including those found in the Mobile App Analytics reports:
- ga:appId
- ga:appVersion
- ga:appName
- ga:appInstallerId
- ga:landingScreenName
- ga:screenDepth
- ga:screenName
- ga:exitScreenName
- ga:timeOnScreen
- ga:avgScreenviewDuration
- ga:deviceCategory
- ga:isTablet
- ga:mobileDeviceMarketingName
- ga:exceptionDescription
- ga:exceptionsPerScreenview
- ga:fatalExceptionsPerScreenview
Some examples of questions this new data can answer are:
- What is the behavior (e.g. avg time on site) of tablet vs. non-tablet visits?
- Which versions of my app are getting the most usage?
- Which screens are generating the most exceptions, and for which app version and OS combination?
Local Currency Metrics
If you are sending Google Analytics multiple currencies, you now have the ability to access the local currency of the transactions with this new data:
- ga:currencyCode
- ga:localItemRevenue
- ga:localTransactionRevenue
- ga:localTransactionShipping
- ga:localTransactionTax
Time Dimensions
We also added new time based dimensions to simplify working with reporting data:
- ga:dayOfWeekName
- ga:dateHour
- ga:isoWeek
- ga:yearMonth
- ga:yearWeek
Sample queries:
Traffic Source Dimensions
Finally, we've added two new traffic source dimensions, including one to return the full URL of the referral.
- ga:fullReferrer
- ga:sourceMedium
Sample query: the top 10 referrers based on visits (using full referrer).
For a complete list of the new data, take a look at the Core Reporting API changelog.
For all the data definitions, check the Core Reporting API Dimensions and Metrics explorer.
As always, you can check out this new data directly within our Query Explorer tool.
We're very excited to release this data and thrilled to see what developers build next!

Developing Applications using Mathematica
I'm curious about the feasibility of using Mathematica as part of large-scale
business application within my company. I know there are various ways
one can make use of Mathematica kernel functionality using non-Mathematica user
interface elements, e.g., via MathLink or WebMathematica. I was wondering if
anyone could share experiences they have in building applications --
particularly in a business rather than an academic environment -- using
Mathematica. For my project, we need to distribute an application to over 1000
users across the U.S. If I could use Mathematica as the calculation engine, the
development process would be orders of magnitude simpler. I know that in
theory this sort of this is possible, but I'm very curious as to the how
it might be effectively done.
And a follow-up question. Given the interesting new dynamic interface
features in Mathematica v6, could one build the entire application in
Mathematica, user interface and all, and then deploy it on a large scale
to non-Mathematica users?

Scarlett Johansson Talks "Hitchcock" on "Today"
Her film career just keeps getting hotter, and Scarlett Johansson dropped by the "Today" show this morning (November 27) to talk about her new flick "Hitchcock."
The "We Bought a Zoo" babe explained that in order to prepare for her role as Janet Leigh, she contacted the actress' real-life daughter Jamie Lee Curtis for pointers.
"I just think, more than anything, it must be very strange to have somebody play your mother -- and especially someone as beloved and celebrated as Janet."
"And I just wanted to reach out -- and Jamie was lovely. She sent beautiful photographs and gave me some wonderful stories," added Johansson.
Scarlett also talked about her experience filming the infamous shower scene from "Psycho." "You kind of make it your own, you sort of wing it ... I think when you have Tony Hopkins there, stabbing at you, with a completely frenzied, psychotic look on his face, you don't need that kind of music. It sort of puts you right there."
After making an appearance on "Today," the gorgeous blonde stopped by Sardi's for a "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof" photocall with her co-stars.
