I remember my worst haircut ever…
Hi everyone,
Hope you are having a lovely week, despite the grey and rainy weather!
Ben and I took Aoife to a sing-a-long of Disney's Frozen a few days ago. The atmosphere was great as all the kids sang along. Even the adults joined in – I think they might have been even more into it than the children!
Aoife enjoyed it for about 10 minutes, then decided to get up from her seat and run around. It was the first time we had ever taken her to the cinema, but I've realised now she's still a bit too young. I was a bit disappointed we had to leave early as the film looked really good, so Ben and I are going to go and see it if we can.
I really love the new hairstyle Amanda Holden debuted at Britain's Got Talent, it looks great. I like to leave my hair down generally, although I like a chic updo for the red carpet. When I'm around the house, I prefer a messy bun – it's so easy to do and it keeps my hair out of my face.
I remember at the beginning of the Saturdays, I had my worst haircut ever. The hairdresser at the time convinced me to cut a fringe in, and I hated it! I tried to hide it by parting it in the centre, but that only made it worse because then it looked like I had curtains. It was awful. So for our very first music video, If This is Love, I had dead straight hair with curtains. Luckily nowadays I can laugh about it, but I definitely won't be repeating that style again.
I love to use Kérastase products in my hair, as my locks go through a lot of stress. I leave their products in my hair overnight, about once a week, and I also use their shampoo. It's great because my hair is coloured, so it helps lock in the shine.
When I was younger, I dyed my hair all the time. I've been blonde, dark brown, black. I've even had blonde highlights, but they were hard to maintain because my natural hair colour is mahogany brown, so they needed a lot of upkeep. I love the colour I have now, it's becoming my signature look.
Aoife's hair is amazingly silky and thick. I play with it all the time, doing different styles such as pigtails, buns and ponytails. I have to put her in front of the television to get her to sit still though, otherwise she gets distracted starts moving around a lot.
Speak soon,

LETU students are heavily recruited by a host of companies around the nation who want to attract the best and brightest. And despite the economic downturn, they are still hiring. More than 70 companies will participate at a career fair exclusively for LETU students at the LeTourneau University campus from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Solheim Center, Thursday, Oct. 24, 2013.
LETU students will discover co-op and internship opportunities, explore potential careers, meet professionals working in their field of study and connect with alumni who are recruiting for their companies. The annual career fair showcases companies that like to hire LETU graduates. The fair is organized by LETU Director of Career Services Steve Gatton.
"When we ask these companies why they like to hire LETU graduates, they tell us it is because our students are well-prepared for the workplace, but as importantly, our students have the integrity, hands-on skills and strong work ethic companies are looking for in new employees," Gatton said.

Running Gambas Programs in Windows
Most software developed by Piga is written in Gambas. As a result it requires the Gambas Runtime. Unfortunately at this time there is no native support for running the Gambas runtime under Windows. However, there are many solutions available for this problem.
- Port the program to Windows by rewriting it in a different language such as Visual Basic .NET or classic Visual Basic.
- Run the program through Windows via Cygwin (currently recommended here and by the Gambas documentation).
- Install the program on a Unix-like computer and use a Windows X11 server such as Xming and SSH forwarding to run the program (once reccomended by the Gambas documentation)
- Using VMWare, VirtualBox, or another Virtualisation tool run a Unix-like system and run the program in that.
- Use CoLinux and a Windows X11 server such as Xming
Running through Cygwin
Once only available for command line Gambas programs, it is now possible to run graphical, feature rich programs. Therefore, this is the recommended method as of version 3.9.2.
Porting to another language
If you are a programmer and you feel up to this challenge then you may want to consider this option. The obvious candidate for porting is Visual Basic .Net as it is a common BASIC derivative that works well in modern version of Windows. Also VB.net has a stipped down "free for use" version (Express), and shares certain syntax supported in Gambas (such as -= or += shorthand). If you have the tools needed you may also want to consider using the original Visual Basic (presumably version 6) and older for older version of Windows. While demand for pre-XP versions of Windows may be low it is still cool when new software is allowed to run on these versions. All Piga Software programs are released under the GPL and as a result we cannot stop you from doing this. In fact if you wish to do this you are encouraged too. While Piga staff may not be able to offer that much support towards this project we like the idea of this sort of porting.
With VB options taken into account you could also port to another Basic derivative or a language not related to Basic at all. The choice is up too you.
- Advantages
- If written properly software should be stable and efficient
- Once ported software should be easy to set up for users so matter what their technical background
- Disadvantages
- Forms have to be recreated from scratch, and not all form controls are shared between Gambas and either VB or VB .Net
- Syntax differences from both languages are varied
- Will require strenuous bugfixing and testing
- Difficult to provide program updates over two separate codebases
Source(s): Gambas Programs solutions Using SSH Forwarding
A stated on the Gambas Documentation you can used SSH Forwarding to run Gambas programs in Windows. The page has it nicely layed out for using the NX protocal.
You can also use PuTTY and Xming (or CygwinX) to so the same thing. On the Linux server you need SSH installed and the port opened if you are running a firewall (the default is 22). On the Windows computer you need PuTTY and an X11 server, like Xming.
One you have the Gambas software installed on Linux run the X11 server and PuTTY on the Windows computer. Make sure PuTTY is set to allow X11 forwarding too your server. Then connect and login to the linux server.
One you have done that run the program using the relevant command.
E.g. Gambas_Example
Things to add to tutorial:
Sound Forwarding with PulseAudio
- Advantages
- actually running on a Linux server so is fully compatible
- can be slow depending on network connectivity
- limited support for devices
- requires a separate computer
Running through Linux virtual machines
For this option you need a Virtualisation environment to run a "virtual copy" of Linux on top of Windows. There are several available including Parallels, VMWare, Virtual PC, and VirtualBox. For this documentation we are going to use Sun Microsystems VirtualBox platform. The procedure should be similar for other platforms however, you may need to consult documentation specific to it. Microsoft's Virtual PC should work but is not recommended since there is no official support for Linux guests.
- Advantages
- No code changes
- Disadvantages
- Difficult for non-technical users
- Can be resource intensive
- Separates your program from the user's native Windows setup
coLinux is actually a specialized cooperative virtualisation environment for seamlessly running Linux under a Windows kernel. As shown from the above screenshot, Piga Software has successfully tested this once using andLinux.
- Advantages
- Seamlessly run Gambas, or any Linux software, under Windows
- Disadvantages
- Extremely difficult for non-technical users
- Has not been recently maintained since April 9, 2011
- Less choice of distributions than traditional virtualization

Electronics Projects: How to Create Names in PBASIC Code
When your electronics projects take you into the realm of programmable circuits, you may find yourself writing some PBASIC code. In PBASIC, you can create names to use as program labels. You can also create names for constants and variables. You can also assign a name of your own to I/O pins, which makes it easier to remember what kind of input or output is expected from each pin.
You must follow a few simple rules when you create names in PBASIC:
Names can consist of a combination of upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and underscore characters (_). Other special characters, such as dollar signs or exclamation marks, aren't allowed. Thus, Timer_Routine and Relay7 are valid names, but LED$ or Bang! aren't.
Names must begin with a letter or an underscore but can't begin with a number. Thus, Timer1 and _Timer1 are both valid names, 1Timer isn't.
Names may be as long as 32 characters.
Names aren't case-sensitive, which is to say that PBASIC doesn't distinguish between upper- and lowercase letters. Thus, PBASIC considers all of the following names to be identical: TimerCheck, timercheck, TIMERCHECK, and TiMeRcHeCk.
Actually, nothing in PBASIC is case sensitive, so anything can be written in upper- or lowercase. However, it is a common PBASIC programming convention that keywords such as HIGH and GOTO are written in all caps, while names are written with just the first letter capitalized.

"I like being in politics. I like the ups. I like the downs. I like the impossibility of it.'
That's how Gov. Jerry Brown described his love of politics and his current job during a speech to the LA Area Chamber of Commerce dinner in Los Angeles Thursday night.
I was there to listen, and was struck by how subdued Brown's pitch for his budget proposal, including extensions of temporary tax increases, turned out to be. The governor was funny, pitching his taxes as not taxes but as a preservation of the status quo that businesses wouldn't notice. But he also offered no clear way out of the fix, perhaps because there is no way. Impossibility and all.
One note: Brown said he doesn't use Teleprompters "because I don't believe in them" but he appeared to be using the Teleprompters during his speech, making the telltale head turn from one hidden screen to the other throughout the address. UPDATE: Steve Glazer, a top advisor to Brown, emails to say that Brown didn't use the Teleprompter.

government efficiency
Duplicative Government Programs Are a Symptom of the Problem
The Government Accountability Office has released its third annual report on fragmented, overlapping, or duplicative federal programs and activities. Proponents of making the government more efficient view the findings as an opportunity to achieve cost savings. While there's obviously nothing wrong with the government spending less money than it has to, the goal should be to permanently shut the trains down – not just try to get them to run on time.
Why I'm Not a Conservative

I just got done with this season. At first I wasn't sure about it, but the last half of the season was pretty good. Jonatas & Rafael are probably my favorite international team, so it was a bit of a bummer that they didn't win. Also, at teams calling Perri Mr. Bean. Speaking of Perri & Maristela, I've got a question for the Portuguese speakers: What was their reason for quitting the task in the finale?

text: Hi all, I know this is quite a specialised topic but I was just wondering if any of the members might have a bit of advise for me if they have worked within the speech field before. I am writing a speaker identification system within C++. The feature I am using from the voiced data is the glottal period, which is unique to each speaker. The feature extraction module works greater, however I think I need to use some sort of stochastic model to create a probability as to whether speaker x, is speaker x based upon their live sample compared against all the others within the database. I was wondering whether I should use Hidden Markov Models for this, or distance templates. Each template that is produced from the extraction module contains the length of the glottal cycle in MS, and the time at which it occurred during enrolment. Any help on this would be appreciated thanks. BTW, the system will be operating within Text-Dependant mode.

Monarchs Complete Recruiting With Three Signees
By ODU Athletics
Smith, a 6-7 forward at nearby Cape Henry Collegiate High School is a two-time All-Tidewater selection. He averaged 18.3 points and 9.2 rebounds per game last year. Smith and Monarchs current freshman guard Troy Nance were teammates at Cape Henry Collegiate and helped lead the team to a 26-4 record and the Tidewater Conference of Independent Schools Championship.
Treese, a 6-8, 200 pounder with three-point shooting range, averaged 12.5 points and 8.3 rebounds for Rutherford Hayes High School. Waldon, 6-5, 200-pounds, is an all-state performer who averaged 17.8 points and 10.4 rebounds per game at Kathleen High School in Lakeland, Fla.
"This is a very strong class, headed by James Smith, who is an outstanding player, " said Capel. " He tough, athletic and very competitive. He reminds me of Petey Sessoms (ODU '95). I think all three will be impact players for us next year. Waldon is a very athletic 6-5, lefthanded perimeter player. Treese reminds me a lot of Mark Poag. Although he played center for his high school team, he is an outstanding shooter."
The three signees complete the Monarchs recruiting for this season.

Safe to say Justin Bieber's time across the pond hasn't exactly gone according to plan.
Fresh off his "worst birthday" ever, the Biebs angered fans after arriving two hours late to his London concert, and although he later apologized and arrived two minutes (!) early to his next gig, he's still taking heat from the tabloids.
So of course the Biebs took to Twitter to fire back at the hate and let loyal Beliebers know he's focusing on the "positive":
Justin Bieber won't be fined for late London show
"Rumors, rumors and more rumors," the pop star posted Wednesday morning. "Nothing more nothing less. might talk about them 1 day. rt now im just gonna be positive. cant bring me down."
He continued, insisting he's not going to focus on the negative attention:
"Im focused on the good things in life. im blessed and not forgetting it. im giving back every day for it. cant phase me," he wrote, before addressing the false reports and tabloid speculation, "Fake stories to sell papers i guess are part of the job. but im a good person. i know that. u cant tell me different. we know the truth."
Olivia Wilde scolds Justin Bieber on Twitter: "Put your [bleeping] shirt on"
In addition to being criticized for his concert tardiness, Bieber also came under fire after he allegedly tried to bring underage members of his entourage (including 14-year-old Jayden Smith) into a London club for his circus-themed birthday bash. He later shot down the hot spot's underage claims in an Instagram declaration.
But apparently that social media statement wasn't enough.
"As long as my family, friends, and fans r with me u can say whatever. we are all equal in God's eyes &we have a responsibility to eachother," he continued on his Twitter rant, "so make up stories about fake fines and make no mention of the positive....," he added, alluding to the reports suggesting he would be fined for his late concert show. (For the record, Biebs is in the clear.)
Justin Bieber apologizes to angry fans for arriving late to London show
"Or say when i came out of my show with my shirt off because after performing for 2 hours i might be sweaty i was going into a club (really?)," he continued, "or any girl i stand next to is my girl or that i dont care, or that i dont feel, or that a 19 year old going to a club in europe is wild..." he vented to all 35 million followers, possibly addressing the reports of his new rumored flame, Ella-Paige Roberts Clarke, as well as the widespread criticism for his shirtless antics.
"I understand it is part of the job to be judged...but judge me on the facts, judge me on the music, and be careful of the judgement u pass," he said, sharing some newly 19-year-old wisdom. "but know this...im only judged by one power, and i serve him."
But that's not all the Biebs had to say.
Watch this eyewitness account from two London concertgoers
"So yeah I will continue being me. i will continue to serve, to perform, to care, to love, to smile, to dance, to play, to sing...and u are welcome to join, because i carry no hate. We got to much love for that. Im about the music." he wrote, before finally concluding his social media outburst:
"Now back to this music."
You tell 'em, Biebs.
Can't get enough Bieber shirtless pics? Here's more

I have no girlfriends, i not celebrate Valentine's day
Jump to navigation
Do the preparation task first. Then read the article and do the exercises to check your understanding.
February 14th is traditionally a celebration of love, so how do people in the UK mark the occasion?
Sending a Valentine's card to a loved one is a custom that started more than a century ago. Couples give cards to each other, but it is also traditional to send an anonymous card to anyone you secretly love. This practice is particularly common in schools and can be a source of great amusement and embarrassment as everyone tries to work out who sent a card and who has a secret admirer! Valentine's Day symbols on cards include hearts designs, doves, and the figure of the winged angel, Cupid.
The card might also feature a poem. Probably the most famous lines from a Valentine's Day poem are:
Roses are red, violets are blue,
Honey is sweet, and so are you.
There are some ironic variations on this poem such as:
Roses are red, violets are blue,
You look like a monkey and smell like one too!
Millions of people use digital means of creating and sending Valentine's Day greeting messages such as e-cards, social media posts or printable greeting cards. Texting your Valentine message is an easy (although maybe not very romantic!) option. Valentine's Day text messages include:
As well as cards, February 14th is also a day for giving gifts. Traditionally, men give chocolates or flowers to their wives or girlfriends. There are lots of websites offering advice on which Valentine's present to buy. Popular choices include red roses, a box of chocolates, romantic songs, a phone, jewellery, a photo frame or perfume.
Some people think that flowers and chocolates seem a little ordinary and so they look for a more unusual gift. For romantic people with plenty of cash, these gifts could include a helicopter flight, a balloon ride, the chance to test-drive a Ferrari or an all-day session at a health club.
Others, however, complain that Valentine's Day is yet another opportunity for ever-increasing commercialism. For true romantics, the gift of love is enough. Valentine's Day is a popular day to either propose or get married – you'd never forget your wedding anniversary!
We asked a few Brits about their views on Valentine's Day and here's what they said. Following the tradition of Valentine's Day, all the comments below are anonymous.
Love it! I always send cards to my mates – and my boyfriend, of course.
I would prefer to go without it. I don't want gifts or money or anything like that. Knowing that I'm appreciated and that I can make others happy is good enough for me.
I got a card last year – but I still don't know who sent it. I haven't got a girlfriend.
My mum sends me a card every year. It's sort of sweet but I think I'm getting a bit old for that now.
It's just really humiliating. I've never received a Valentine's card in my life. A day to switch off my phone because I know I'm not going to get any messages.
My boyfriend sent me a text message last year on Valentine's Day. I suppose that's kind of romantic but I'd rather have a present or even a real card.
I sent an anonymous Valentine's card to a boy in my class when I was younger. Then my brother told him it was from me. I was so embarrassed!
I'm single so it's definitely irritating. It's too commercial anyway.
If a girl likes me I don't need to waste money sending her a card just because it's a tradition.
Chocolates, roses, cards, presents. Bring it on! I love Valentine's Day!
Do you celebrate Valentine's Day? If not, is there a similar day in your country?
I have no girlfriends, i not celebrate Valentine's day
In my country, the valentine's day is celebrated with kisses and huggies, upon a time, one girl received flowers, my dad and mom go to a romantic dinner.
Heey! In my country, valentine´s day is on June, I don't celebrate the date because: One, I don't have boyfriend or girlfriend and two, I don't have feelings, just this :)
In my country,Myanmar, Valentine Day is celebrated widely. On that day, almost all of couples wear couple shirts and gave presents each other.The whole road is full with couples holding flowers or huge teddy bears.Most of the couples post their couple photos and presents they got on social medias like Facebook,Twitter,Instragram and so on.It seems so childish and immature for me.That's why I don't ike Valentine Day.I think U don't need to celebrate a day to show off ur love to ur loved ones.If u really love and respect someone,everyday is Valentine Day.No need to show off how u love.
In Ukraine we not celebrate Valentine's Day because it is a Catholical holiday/I like a Valentine's Day because I think it is a sugnigicent holiday and you can make your family happy and give the gifts.I like make "hand made"presents because I think it is the most enjoyed gift and I like make sweet presents: gingerbread and cakes!!!
I don't celebrate Valentine's Day in Russia, but I like this holiday)
In Italy we celebrate it, but i hate Valentine's day!
Valentine's Day is one of the international holidays in our country. Many people make a declaration of love and propose marriage on that day. Lovers make surprises and give presents to each other, for example: cards, toys, boxes of chocolates, chocolate bars and coloured balloons. Some these gifts are made in the shape of hearts. The main symbol of this holiday is a valentine card. It's a small heart-shaped card with a nice words. And other people send poems each other in messages. Funny parties are traditionally held at schools, clubs and cafes. We had a party devoted to St. Valentine's Day in our school on the fourteenth of February. There was a postbox in the hall. The students put cards addressed to the person they have a romance with. They sent it anonymously.
I like this holiday, because it gives people happiness and joy.
In our country some people celebrate St Valentine's Day. We have some traditions, for example sending cards with congratulations to our loved people. Also, ones can send presents anonymously to people that they secretly love. We get and give such gifts as chokolate,toys, flowers and of course cards with unusual poems.
But others mark similar celebration on July 8th. There are many customs on this day.
Yeah. We usually celebrate it. Mostly teenagers . but it's fun
In my country, valentine's day is not so much of a deal. I mean, some of us celebrate it but most of us are indifferent. Personally, i would like valentine's day if i had a boyfriend..Just kidding..I like it one way or another.:)
In my country we don't traditionally celebrate Valentine's day because it's a catholic holiday. However most young couples celebrate this day and buy presents for their loved ones. In my country on the same day, 14th February, we celebrate Sveti Trifun, which can be translated into English like The Day of The Wine. So, every year on that day there are plenty of discussions about what holiday should we be celebrating. I think people start to celebrate both of this holidays because they are both unique and special.
That's similar to my country. Goverment has never considered it a holiday but many teenagers ( and adults) often buy gifts for their boy'girlfriends ( and life partners).
But do you know why annually, the Vietnamese people don't have to work on Valentine's day ? They often stay at home or hang out with their lovers all day. (^------^). Because we have ten days off for Lunar New Year Eve and these holidays cover Valentine's day . That's coincident ( and great ) , right ?
You're right. That is pretty great especially if you have someone to spend the holiday with.
I don't enjoy valentine's day very much although my friends and relatives celebrate it every year. It's weird that people with their love walking around, chatting at someone who haven't got a guy/girl yet. It's definitely not a good feeling :)))
I don't look forward to Valentine day. But teenagers often go out with their bears on this day
With bears?? Who are they, gianggiang? Teddy Bears?
Vietnamese teenagers are cool, aren't they??
∧ ∧
( ´・ω・)
/ ⌒ヽ
bear. I think it is a funny word. It means boy or girlfriend. Don't people in your country call like that ?
we also call single person ' FA" ( forever alone) and clumsy students ' chicken". my mom said that they originated from some films and magazines.
Oh, I didn't know that. I don't think of such a word which compares people with animals in my language. We could say he's bearish (like a bear) but we don't call someone bear or chicken. Language represents how we see things, interesting, huh?
(ง ´͈౪`͈)ว
Hello,and Happy Valentine's day.
As I promised, I've chosen two ( romantic, funny and meaningful - I think so) songs. I hope you enjoy it !
1) Baby I love you ( Tiffany Alvord )
2) Oah ( Alexander Rybak ) --( I wasn't able to hide my smiling face when watching the video.)
Happy Valentine's day, Hope all couples have a sweet day and warm moments with their love.
Hi Giangginag!
ε(*'-')з†.*・゚☆Happyヾ(゚∇゚)ノValentine's day☆゚・*.†ε('-'*)з
I appreciate your great music selection for us!
My GF and I shared them in a laugh after listening the romantic song!
You're really insightful, aren't you? :))
Owing to your help, I think she has snapped out of a bad mood!
She's simple but has a sense of honest, …lovable, isn't she!?
Again, my view on Valentine's Day?
Well, love it for one thing and another!

My view on Valentine's Day?
This year, I'm just feeling blue…
First, I've got an exam all day.
Second, I was known that my girlfriend was going to eat out with her classmate as is customary. So I'm in the wrong mood!!!
Well, I'm thinking about saving time and doing something for myself at home….!
No don't celebrate Valenties day.It's boring and it's a bit emberresing for girls to give presents to boys.So that's why.
i am from romania and no, i don't celebrate valentine's day in my country.In my opinin it's a superficial event because i don't need a one day for express my love and feeling to the loved one.I can buy chocholate or another sweets for my boyfriend when i want..today,tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.I don't need a event to express my feeling,i think that i can do this when i want.
I do celebrate valentine day, but I never got any cards, a bucket of flowers, or even chocolate.
But now I have a crush with my senior. I want to confess my feelings through a card because I'm kind of shy. Is there any suggestion? Feel free to tell me.
Yes, we celebrate Valentine's Day, although a market is more and more leading a commercialized farce...!
Yes i celebrate Valentines day,but i don t have a boyfriend jet.Happy Valentines day everyone,wishes you iva10.
We do not celebrate Valentine's day, but if someone love with each other in my mind there is no need for Valentine's day for lovers every day even every second is valentine's day moment, please enjoy your life with lovers, wherever you are.
I completly agree with you!!!

Great Food
At Western Sizzlin great food isn't something we just talk about...we dream about it, we live it everyday. We are a family style steakhouse that approaches steaks with a passion. We make it happen with our specially formulated Flamekist® technique and our exclusive Gold Dust seasoning. This winning combination makes our steaks so good, eating a regular steak will never be the same! Right now come into participating Western Sizzlin locations and try our new Angus Beef steaks. Flavorful and delicious, it's just another reason that we are America's Favorite Family Steakhouse!
If you think that the only reason guests choose Western Sizzlin is for the steaks, get ready for a surprise, and we don't mean a surprise like, your in-laws are coming for the weekend. You'll also find a collection of entrees such as top quality chicken, pork and seafood and a full line of both hot and cold food buffets. These bars feature a home cooked flavor more like your grandmas cooking and less like the ordinary buffet that settles for a mediocre offering. How many home style vegetables and fresh baked goods are on the bars each day? Come in and see for yourself because we know you don't have time to read a list that long.
