There's a man, or a ([[{{Fanservice}} generally attractive]]) woman, standing in front of a GreenScreen, telling you what the weather will be like just before the NewsBroadcast ends. Characters will check this if they're going camping, fishing, or what have you.If the weather is incorrect, it is generally played for laughs, either with a DisproportionateRetribution episode, or with the characters insisting to go fishing when it's pouring buckets anyway. You may even get [[CloudCuckooLander someone]] insisting that it is such a beautiful day. If the weather is correct, chances are that the weather is horrible (occasionally cue "[[TemptingFate Oh, like he's ever right]].") or that this signals the end of the episode/movie/book.

What this website allows you to do is, grab a part of a photo, it can be any irregular form, and then move it to fit into your background photo.

5. Make also a master sample at 1 % of gelatine.
Figure 23: Gels formed with the three gelling agents:
- At the top left: agar-agar at 1 %
- At the top right: carraghenane Kappa + Loccus bean
gum at 1 %.
- At the bottom : gelatine at 1 %.
23 / 63
III.6.3.4. Results:
Using the tea solutions which are settled, the gel sets and its texture looks like a gel made of a
solution at 10 g of gelatine per L. Indeed, the firmness looks like a master sample at 1 % more than a
master sample at 1.2 %. However, the taste is not pronounced enough and the color is too clear.
To compare, a solution of tea + gelatine at 10 g / L without being settled. In the case of the
witness of infusion of Tea + gelatine 10g / L not settled, the solution becomes slightly confused during the
introduction of the gel. A gel formed but we did not eliminate the tannins of the solution !
III.6.3.5. Discussion/ Interpretation:
The gel made of a settled solution with 1 % of gelatine and homogenization is less firm than the
gel made of the floating part of the solution. However, it has the same other characteristics such as a too
clear colour, and a not enough pronounced taste. Also, it seems to have some tannin, settling on the
bottom of the bowl, and the gel isn't clear.
A hypothesis could be the formation of a complex between tannins and the gelatine. On the
whole, the quantity of introduced gelatine was to be sufficient to trap the totality of phenolics of the
solution. To introduce for a second time some gelatine allows then to form a gel. In the case of our
infusion stemming from the experiment 1, this one was put settling during 72 hours before introduction of
the gelatine. Except, the solution taken for the dosage corresponds to the floating because this solution
was not homogenized. It would seem that tannins settled in the heart of the bowl, the gel was then able to
Finally, the solutions of tea were infused more than half an hour, which is long enough to extract
all the sapid molecules and tannins. However, the gel isn't tasty enough. Has the gel any influence on the

The submissions (other than those over which confidentiality is claimed) are available below. The ACMA is currently considering these submissions. Brett Carroll [Word] Gary Dean [Word] Australian Communications Consumer Action Network (ACCAN) [PDF] Consumer Action Law Centre [PDF] Combined Pensioners & Superannuants Association of NSW Inc (CPSA) [PDF] Background The ACMA is seeking comment regarding a draft variation to the Telecommunications Numbering Plan 1997 (the Numbering Plan) which, if made, would mean that calls from mobile phones to freephone (18/1800) numbers were free to the caller. The variation also clarifies that freephone and local rate numbers must be used to provide these services. While calls from fixed phone services can already be made to freephone numbers at no charge, calls from mobile phones are generally charged at a timed rate. This can lead to high costs for long calls, including those where the caller is placed on hold for an extended period. The increasing proportion of consumers who use their mobile phone as their primary or sole communications service potentially increases the quantity of calls being made to these numbers from mobile phones, making this a large and indeed growing issue for many consumers. This proposed change was previously outlined in a discussion paper released by the ACMA in December 2012 (see IFC 51/2012). The draft variation Telecommunications Numbering Plan Variation 2013 (No. 1) is available in Word (.docx) or PDF formats. Submissions The ACMA welcomes submissions on this draft variation. Submissions should be sent to the ACMA By Email: email@example.com By Mail: Manager Telecommunications Licensing, Numbering and Submarine Cables Section Australian Communications and Media Authority PO Box 13112 Law Courts Melbourne VIC 8010 The closing date for submissions was 23 June 2013. Effective consultation The ACMA is working to enhance the effectiveness of its stakeholder consultation processes, which are an important source of evidence for its regulatory development activities. To assist stakeholders in formulating submissions to its formal written consultation processes, it has developed Effective consultation: A guide to making a submission. This guide provides information about the ACMA's formal written public consultation processes and practical guidance on how to make a submission. Publication of submissions In general, the ACMA publishes all submissions it receives. The ACMA prefers to receive submissions that are not claimed to be confidential. However, the ACMA accepts that a submitter may sometimes wish to provide information in confidence. In these circumstances, submitters are asked to identify the material over which confidentiality is claimed and provide a written explanation for the claim. The ACMA will consider each confidentiality claim on a case-by-case basis. If the ACMA accepts a claim, it will not publish the confidential information unless authorised or required by law to do so. Release of submissions where authorised or required by law Any submissions provided to the ACMA may be released under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (unless an exemption applies) or shared with other Commonwealth Government agencies or certain other entities under Part 7A of the Australian Communications and Media Authority Act 2005. The ACMA may also be required to release submissions for other reasons including for the purpose of parliamentary processes or where otherwise required by law (for example, under a court subpoena). While the ACMA seeks to consult submitters of confidential information before that information is provided to another party, the ACMA cannot guarantee that confidential information will not be released through these or other legal means..

Hi there,
I'm really not sure how to describe my problem. I am on 10.5.5 (Yeah, I know. Old. I'm on old hardware ). So I got everything installed, and everything looks good. I boot up the system for the first time, and Quartz Extreme is enabled! Thats wonderful to me. So I open a finder window, move it... and then it "streaks" everywhere. I have attatched a picture.
Here's my specs:
IBM ThinkCentre 8416-KUG (Old)
DVD-ROM drive
BFG nVidia 8400 GS PCI 512MB DDR2 Device ID: 0x06e4 Revision ID: 0x00a1 (Using VGA)
Leopard 10.5.5 iDeneb with NVinject 0.2.1
HP S2031 Monitor
Pentium 4 Processor (DIdn't think it would work, but it did!)
AC97 Audio
When I boot with integrated graphics, I don't have this problem. The problem with that is, there are no kexts for it. I am running an extremely old integrated GPU that isn't even supported. I also don't have this problem booting with -x on the boot prompt.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried Windex? Works pretty good to stop streaking on windows. Maybe try using chameleon graphics enabler instead of nvenabler (assuming it's backwards compatible) but def some old hardware and software dude Check kexts info.plist for dev ID as well

Enoch-rev.2003.pkg.zip It's a package installer so should be easy. I haven't ran Leopard in years so I can't say for sure it's backward compatible, but see no reason it wouldn't be. If you currently have an /Extra folder and inside a com.apple.boot.plist which has your boot configuration in it, this file would be replaced by org.chameleon.Boot.plist which functions the same. Nvinject would need to be removed, and then for chameleon's graphics enabler, when you get the the boot prompt to choose startup volume, you can run it by typing:
To permanently enable it so you don't have to type it every boot, you would add this code to the org.chameleon.Boot.plist

Foreclosure is all the rage these days, as banks are foreclosing on homes at a record rate. (Just recently, one lender even got in trouble for instigating foreclosure proceedings on the wrong property.) All of this foreclosure activity is obviously not a good thing, but if you are ever faced with foreclosure, here are the basics you should know:
Foreclosure Lawsuit
The foreclosure process begins when a lender files a lawsuit in court against the borrower because the borrower has defaulted on the loan (default is just a fancy term for "not payingâ€). Indiana law does not require a lender to send a default notice to the borrower before filing the lawsuit, but most lenders do that as a practical matter (after all, it's cheaper and easier to get a borrower to pay without going through the legal process—lawyers are expensive!).
The date the mortgage was executed controls the pre-foreclosure period between filing the lawsuit and the foreclosure sale date. The pre-foreclosure period is a time when action can be taken to avoid the foreclosure, which they have been warned is coming. Most often this is three months, but for older mortgages it can be six or twelve months. This of course depends on the terms of the mortgage. (However, there is no waiting period for foreclosure on abandoned properties.)
Order of Foreclosure and Redemption Rights
After the pre-foreclosure period expires and the Court orders the foreclosure, a copy of the Court's order is issued to the sheriff. After receiving the order, the sheriff proceeds with the foreclosure sale.
At any time before the foreclosure sale, a borrower may "satisfy†the judgment by paying the debt, interest, and costs owed. If this happens, the complaint must then be dismissed, and the lender remains in his/her home. The foreclosure proceedings stop completely. This is called a borrower's "redemption right†– everyone gets the chance to redeem his/her credit!
Mechanics of the Notice of Sale and AuctionÂ
If the borrower does not exercise her right of redemption after the Court enters a final judgment of foreclosure, the sheriff appoints an auctioneer to conduct the foreclosure sale. The notice of sale must be published once a week for three weeks in a local newspaper, and the first publication must occur 30 days before the sale to give ample notice. The sheriff also must post the notice in a least three public places, as well as the county courthouse. Finally, the sheriff must notify the borrower of the notice of sale. The owner may reside in the property, rent free, until the foreclosure sale, provided the owner is not committing "waste,†which essentially means tearing up the property.
Immediately after the foreclosure sale, the sheriff transfers the property ownership to the winning bidder. If a lender postpones the sale, another sheriff's sale request must be filed, and the notices must be re-served and republished. (Some lenders will postpone sheriff's sales to try and work out a resolution with the borrower.) Once the sale is complete, however, a borrower no longer has redemption rights. The property is foreclosed upon, and the process is over.
Indiana Foreclosure Laws
The laws that govern Indiana foreclosures are found in the Indiana Code, Article 29 (Mortgages), Chapter 7 (Foreclosure, Redemption, Sale, Right to Retain Possession). You can view these statutes on the Web.

I had this Hello Kitty onigiri mold and have only use it once and it's time to give it a try again. When I started making bento I thought that all those rice and onigiri molds are the essential tools for making bento, but after made lots of bento nowadays I used less and less of them since we can make all shapes with our hands. But I must admit if we want to make lots of same bento in the same day then those molds are great equipment to have for make things faster.
I only used the rice mold for the head and added the facial details with nori, corn, carrot and cheese for the ribbon (both using vegetable cutter) while the arms and legs were done with my hand.
The other filling for this bento are my usual bento stuffing; broccoli chunks, corn, heart shaped sausages, grapes, and tamagoyaki (below the corn and sausages). I put fried tempeh for the first time in my bento box as the meat replacement which I think can be a great bento filling since we can cut its shape into almost anything, its hard enough to maintain its shape while its soft enough to be cut with bento standard vegetable cutter.
As for cooking tempeh, for us Indonesian tempeh is a very popular food (sold in every market and very affordable) so there are lots of variation on how to cook them. The most basic is we slice the tempeh bar thinly (about 0.50 cm thick), deep fry those slices and then eat them with sweet soy sauce or sambal along with warm rice and other foods.
And if we want to add more flavor to it, after we slice the tempeh bar, we can marinate them with chopped shallot and garlic, coriander, and salt with a little water for about 1 hour before we deep fry them.

Police double talk
August 16, 2007
EDITORIAL, Los Angeles Daily News
When federal agents busted down doors raiding medical marijuana dispensaries in Los Angeles in July, Los Angeles Police Department officers were their comrades in arms.
The department's assistance in the raids infuriated some City Council members, who chastised them Wednesday for cooperating with the Drug Enforcement Agency and for enforcing federal drug laws that are in conflict with California's medical-marijuana law - and the will of the public. They even threatened to forbid the LAPD from cooperating with the DEA, but that would require the council to actually take an unequivocal stand.
LAPD officials just brushed off the criticism, essentially telling the council to get over it. The department will continue to help the feds bust medical-marijuana dispensaries, they said, even though Chief William Bratton has declared the department supports the state law.
The explanation that officials offered was simple: The LAPD has a policy of enforcing federal laws.
That would make sense if it were a policy that the department actually followed. But the truth is that the LAPD only enforces the federal laws that it feels like enforcing.
Despite pressure from federal authorities and many residents of Los Angeles, the LAPD has refused to enforce immigration laws and officers don't ask about citizenship status except in the rarest instances.
The department has stuck to Special Order 40, which prohibits LAPD officers from asking people about their citizenship status. So much for working with the feds.
Medical-marijuana dispensaries exist legally under state law, but not under federal law. In L.A., city officials are finally trying to craft regulations that will make them less flagrant for feds to bust. But the DEA doesn't care what the city or the state does.That leaves the LAPD in an awkward situation, but selectively picking which laws it will enforce and which it will ignore does nothing to enhance the department's credibility.

The last time the Fed tried to dump Maiden Lane 2 assets via a public auction in a BWIC manner, it nearly crashed the credit market. This time, the FRBNY, headed by one ex-Goldman Sachs alum Bill Dudley, has decided to go back to its shady, opaque ways, and transact in private, with no clear indication of the actual bidding process or transaction terms, and sell $6.2 billion in Maiden Lane 2 "assets" to, wait for it, Goldman Sachs, the same firm that would benefit in the first place if AIG's assets imploded (remember all those CDS it held on AIG which supposedly prevented it from losing money if AIG went bankrupt?). One wonders: does Goldman have a put option on the ML2 portfolio if the market experiences a sudden and totally impossible downtick some day? But all is well - we have assurance from the Fed that the sale happened in a "competitive process." Luckily, that takes care of any appearance of impropriety.
From the NY Fed:
New York Fed Sells $6.2 Billion in Face Amount of Maiden Lane II LLC Assets
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York ("New York Fed") today announced that it has sold assets with a current face value of $6.2 billion from its Maiden Lane II LLC ("ML II") portfolio through a competitive process to Goldman Sachs & Co. Proceeds from this sale and the January 19, 2012 transaction, will enable the repayment of the entire remaining outstanding balance of the senior loan from the New York Fed to ML II on the next payment date in early March. The original amount of the senior loan was
$19.5 billion.
The transaction was prompted by an unsolicited offer from Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC to BlackRock Solutions, the investment manager for ML II, to buy ML II assets. Consistent with its March 2011 announcement regarding the disposition procedures for ML II, which allowed for these types of reverse inquiries, the New York Fed directed BlackRock Solutions to conduct a sale via a competitive process. The five broker-dealers included in the competitive process were Barclays Capital Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co., Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, and RBS Securities Inc. The broker-dealers were selected based on the strength of each of their recently submitted reverse inquiries for large parcels of the portfolio.
The New York Fed decided to move forward with the transaction only after determining that the winning bid represented good value for the public. Net proceeds from the sale will be reported as part of the portfolio's normal reporting schedule on April 16, 2012.
William C. Dudley, President of the New York Fed, said, "I am pleased with the continued interest in these assets and am especially gratified that the New York Fed's loan to ML II will be repaid as a result of the sale announced today."
As stated previously, the New York Fed, through BlackRock Solutions, will dispose of the remaining securities in the ML II portfolio individually and in segments over time as market conditions warrant through a competitive sales process, while taking appropriate care to avoid market disruption. There will be no fixed timeframe for the sales; at each stage, the Federal Reserve will only transact if the best available bid represents good value for the public.
Following repayment of the New York Fed's senior loan, additional proceeds will be allocated as per the ML II agreement. Proceeds from additional asset sales that are allocated to the New York Fed will be included in the Federal Reserve's remittances of income to the U.S. Treasury.
The New York Fed publishes on its website a list of all the securities in the ML II portfolio. In order to allow the public to track progress on asset dispositions, the New York Fed provides monthly updates on portfolio holdings and a list of the securities sold within the prior month. In addition, it provides quarterly updates on total proceeds from sales, including a breakdown by counterparty. The New York Fed will also provide further details regarding all ML II transactions, including an account showing the acquirer and the price paid for each individual security three months after the last asset is sold, ensuring timely accountability without jeopardizing the ability to generate maximum sale proceeds for the public.

So this is the Bio part where I tell you all about how wonderful I am and that I am this 20 something cutting edge artist trying to change the face of women in rock. How I was raised in the SF Bay area and that my Grandmother used to sing with Count Basie. How I have been singing and dancing as far back as I can remember. How I studied musical theater in New York but left because I did not want to be pigeonholed as the 'leading ladies best friend', the funny maid, the funny secretary, etc. (I mean how many times can you sing Bali Ha'i, really). How I am bi-racial but will not choose sides in the race war and that I flavor my music with the best of both worlds Soul and Rock White and Black. How I am big and beautiful and make no excuses for that.(Plus I'm still damn sexy, so who cares) But most importantly I feel the music in my soul, in my bones and that my best shows are dark, hard and sad and I will not fail to whisper, wail, scream and growl the passion and spirit of the music as I feel it. But, being a bit shy and really bad at self-promotion what I really want to say is...... Hi My name is Heather Nichelle I like to sing I would like you to hear my music I think you will like it Buy a CD Come to a show Call me to collaborate And last but not least.... I would like to take over the world with my contradictory style, diva voice and rock star hair and put all those bad (Only good on MTV) pop stars in their place. Thank You, Heather Nichelle ~.

Tribe Aedini Neveu-Lemaire, 1902
Aedes Meigen, 1818. [The subfamily name Aedinae was established by Neveu-Lemaire (1902) (as Aedeinae). In accordance with the Principle of Coordination (International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, 1999: Article 36.1), Neveu-Lemaire (1902) is considered to have simultaneously established the coordinate tribal name Aedini.]
Subfamily Culicinae. Aedini is the largest tribe of mosquitoes with 1,256 species classified in 10 genera. The genera are as follow (number of species in parenthesis): traditional Aedes sensu Wilkerson et al. 2015 (931), Armigeres (58), Eretmapodites (48), Haemagogus (28), Heizmannia (38), Opifex (2), Psorophora (49), Udaya (3), Verrallina (95) and Zeugnomyia (4). Species of this tribe are referred to as 'aedines'.
Species of tribe Aedini are extremely varied, and many are difficult to identify to subgenus because of overlapping suites of shared anatomical features. Hence, combinations of characters are required to define the majority of the subgenera and species. General features of the tribe include the presence of toothed ungues (tarsal claws) and a pointed abdomen in most females. Although toothed ungues are not universally present, they are not found in any other tribe of Culicinae. Larvae have relatively short, stout siphons with a single pair of seta 1-S (except for species of subgenus Aedes and the Rusicoidus Group of subgenus Ochlerotatus of Aedes) inserted well above the base, usually beyond the middle of the siphon. A comb is always present on segment VIII and the ventral brush is usually represented by five or more pairs of setae.
The heterogeneity of the tribe is illustrated by the following description of principal taxonomic features (excluding those above) found in the adult and larval stages. ADULTS ‒ Compound eyes contiguous or separated above antennae; erect scales of head numerous, restricted to a single posterior row, or absent; clypeus with or without scales, never setae; proboscis variable in length and development; antennae distinctly shorter to slightly longer than proboscis; scutal scales and setae varied; mesopostnotum with or without setae; paratergite with or without scales; antepronota large or small, sometimes close together; pleural setae and scales varied; base of hindcoxa in line with or below base of mesomeron; pulvilli not evident; tarsi normal; wing membrane with distinct microtrichia; cell R2 longer than vein R2+3; vein Rs without basal spur; vein 1A ending distal to base of mediocubital crossvein; base of subcosta without setae ventrally except in genus Opifex; scales of alula varied; upper calypter usually with complete line of setae or hair-like scales, sometimes reduced in number or absent; laterotergite varied, completely or partially covered with scales or bare. LARVAE ‒ Occipital foramen normal, circular; collar varied, usually distinct; hypostomal suture complete; seta 2-C absent; seta 3-C dorsal in position; seta 13-P rarely present; no plumose or palmate setae on thorax or abdomen; seta 12-I present or absent; pecten usually present, sometimes absent; saddle usually incomplete.
Morphological and molecular evidence indicates that Aedini is a monophyletic taxon (see review of Harbach, 2007; Reidenbach et al., 2009). Based on the assumption that annectant forms may have been derived by hybrid origin, Belkin (1962) believed that Aedini differentiated in the Indomalayan area of the Old World where the majority of annectant forms presently exist. Aedini was recovered as a paraphyletic assemblage with respect to Mansonia in the morphology-based phylogeny of Harbach & Kitching (1998), as the sister of Mansonia in the studies of Reinert et al. (2004, 2006, 2009) and as sister to Orthopodomyia + Mansonia in the study of Reinert et al. (2008) based on morphological data. Aedini was recovered as the sister to Orthopodomyia + Coquillettidia in the study of Reidenbach et al. (2009) based on combined molecular (six nuclear genes) and morphological data. Aedini was not recovered as a monophyletic group in the analyses of Wilkerson et al. (2015) based on equal weighting of the data set of Reinert et al. (2009) ‒ Mansonia + Psorophora was recovered in a sister relationship to the other generic-level taxa of the tribe.
Aedine larvae inhabit a diversity of habitats. Some species utilise temporary ground waters such as pools, puddles, hoof prints, wallows and the margins of swampy or marshy areas. Other species utilise rock holes, crab holes, tree holes, leaf axils and flower bracts, pitcher plants and man-made containers. The females of many species readily attack humans. Both daytime and night-time biters are known.
Certain members of the tribe are of great importance in the transmission of viruses and helminths to humans and other animals (see Wilkerson et al., 2015: Table 1).
Aedini are world-wide in distribution, but are better represented in the Old World and the Nearctic Region.

Blissfully Unaware
A throw back to the Baby Boomer generation would name it the Unemployment office, but in the political correctness of the day, it is now the Employment office. Makes a certain sense I think. You go there looking for work not unemployment, although you wouldn't go there is you were employed. Life's ambiguities always catch my attention. I approached the receptionist and advised her of my purpose and was instructed to take a seat. The waiting room wasn't filled, there was no real flurry of activity, yet she met every person who approached her counter with a mouthful of food, gingerly fingering the morsels that attempted escape, pushing and shoving them between the muffle of words she would try to voice at the same time she chewed. How very odd I thought. The spectacle drew my focus downward for it was hardly possible to ignore the cut of her dress. I love the phrase "ample bosom" all by itself that phrase creates a visual. You can imagine, without encouragement, what an ample bosom would do if inadequately restrained by a neckline meant for an after hours soiree. It might have been in the moment she checked herself in the mirror that morning; it might have been in the car, when she pressed her lipstick to her lips in the rear view mirror, the neckline might have passed muster, for it only allowed an inch or two of cleavage to peek atop the straight cutaway of her dress. It all might have worked if not for the fact her job description required her to bend over, straighten up again, turn around, lean back, you get the picture. Little imagination needed. She simultaneously pushed the food back, checked appropriate repetitive responses, and kept "the girls" at bay, oblivious to the show, a talent that could rival a circus clown juggling as if his life depended on it.
I would have dismissed the whole affair as a "one off". You know, those occasions where training facilitators convince you the customer service received by their company was an exception to the prescribed exemplary behavior; very close to not really ever having happened at all. On this occasion it made me think about being the one there for employment help, while clearly this woman needed help. It could have been a one off, if it were not for having occasion to be in the same office the following week.
By ten o'clock in the morning that day, it was already hot. Stepping inside the double set of heavy doors, anyone having to wait was grateful for the air conditioning. I had slipped into a permit parking spot rationalizing that if ticketed I could plead necessity, for the visitors' parking lot was already full. A police cruiser was pulling up as I entered, joining another already parked outside the main doors. The reason became evident the moment I stepped inside. To my right, in my peripheral view two officers were snugged up alongside a young, heavy set man with short dark hair. I vaguely recall his offsetting, straight ahead focus. In crisp sharp black uniforms, they crowded him and he bolted. Striking out like a wild horse in the desperate last moments of freedom. I made a wide circle around the melee where the officers had his face to the cool of the stone floor, hands behind his back. A flash of shiny chrome as the handcuffs were employed. I had reached the receptionist counter where at least a dozen people were standing in awe of the proceedings, not really sure how to respond. Many backed away. A few expletives betrayed the surprise, most were on their feet or standing at a safe distance.
At this moment the receptionist stands behind the safety of her counter and having been oblivious up to this point, turns her attention to whatever the commotion might be. Realizing at last this is not something that happens every day she cries out; "Someone call the police!" and does so with a great deal of sound and authority. "They are the police." came the meek reply from a young girl protecting her coffee cup.
I wasted no time in finding the room where I was to join the seminar. I lingered no longer than it took to confirm the young man was in custody. The remainder of his day would not go as he may have planned when he got out of bed that morning. Miss Blissfully unaware receptionist sat back down, satisfied she had done all she could.
I'm one of the lucky ones I thought as I found a chair close to the front of the room. I wasn't taken away in a police cruiser that morning. I wasn't a government clerk trying to explain some convoluted policy of reimbursement for re-training. I wasn't the angry young man.
And more grateful I was than any of those in attendance that morning, I was not the gainfully employed, fully benefited, duly trained and utterly unaware receptionist.

When you reply to an email message, you should include that message, but only as much as is necessary to establish the context.

Your reply should be below the quoted text, not above it.

If there is more than one point you reply to,

your repartees should follow the original text you refer to directly.

Don't be shy to cut and reformat the quoted text (except where the original formatting is essential, of course).

Proper Quoting for the Lazy and Stylish

We'll look at an example shortly, but not before I've put these rules into perspective. While they are and work great and aiming for purity here is an entertaining endeavor, following these rules is not the only way to produce neat and efficient emails. There is also a faster, simpler and more relaxed way of replying to emails that works just as well.

Proper Quoting Example

Now for an example: let's suppose the original message is

I think (or should I say I wish I acted as if?) every human being is always responsible for all other humans. Every action you take factually defines what you think humans are. Your actions reflect your basic beliefs, and I think we can choose these beliefs — although, of course, we are trained to use a certain set of beliefs as children.

...and so on. Of course, you must reply to that. And so you write, with proper quoting:

> I think (or should I say I wish I acted as if?)

Do you refer to Wittgenstein here? If the basic
beliefs are chosen (as you claim later), how can
they differ from what you think?

> [...] Every action you take factually defines
> what you think humans are.

I like that thought! But I think I must give it
some more thought... if it is a command (and I
think it should be one!), how can it be one?

TB clinic in civic school puts students' health at risk
700 kids at Dadar school share building with TB patients, who visit it thrice a week during school hours; experts say children are at risk of contracting the air-borne disease
Three times every week, for a total of nine hours, some 700 students at this municipal school in Dadar are exposed to tuberculosis bacteria, since the civic authorities are running a TB clinic at the institute which is regularly visited by almost 35 patients.
The three-storey Gokhale Road (South) Municipal School in Dadar (W) houses a clinic where, for the past few years, TB and malaria patients have been administered treatment. Currently, the TB care facility is operational during the morning school hours, leading local politicians to take up the issue. The institute, which runs in two sessions between 7.30 am and 5.30 pm, holds classes on weekdays, while the patients are required to visit on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, between 10 am to 1 pm. The time overlap generates considerable cause for worry, since doctors say that the students, and even teachers, are at peril of catching the air-borne disease if they stay near infected patients.
When this reporter visited the establishment, he observed that almost 500 of all the students study in the English medium section on the third floor, where the clinic is located, in a classroom adjoining another where children attend classes. The patients, students and school staff use the same staircase, as the building doesn't have a lift. An alternate entrance at the far end of the premises stays locked and is out of use.
A worker at the clinic said, "TB patients have to come to the clinic themselves as they must take medicines here itself and complete the course. We have the medicine kit of every patient." He added, "We also take care of other work related to the health department."
Risky business
Dr Suleman Ladlani, honorary secretary of Maharashtra State Anti-TB Association, said the set-up makes students susceptible. "If active TB patients visit the school regularly during school hours and come in close contact with students, it would be a problem for the children. It would not be an issue if the patients visit on holidays."
Asked about a possible solution, Dr Ladlani said, "Either the clinic should be shifted to another place or there should be separate entry and exit for TB patients."
Local leaders are demanding that the school be shifted. "Kids at the school are vulnerable to the disease and the clinic must be shifted to some other, isolated place," said Sandeep Deshpande, group leader of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) and corporator from Dadar area. He said if the BMC didn't act on the issue soon enough, he would bring the matter to the notice of the municipal commissioner.
BMC says
Sharadchandra Ughade, assistant municipal commissioner of G-North ward where the school falls, said, "We are coming up with a new policy that would bar activities other than teaching inside school buildings. It will be discussed in the civic meeting. As far as the clinic goes, I will take up the matter with the ward health official."
'Ill' treatment
Tuberculosis, an airborne disease caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis, primarily assaults the lungs of those with low immunity. Healthy persons are at risk if they stay near infected persons, since that is likely to expose them to contaminated sputum which travels through air when a patient coughs, sneezes or spits. This endangers the health of the children and school staff attending classes during the same hours when the patients visit the clinic located on the institute's third floor.]

Dean Hachamovitch: IE9 Questions and Answers - The C9 Questions Thread
@Nazo: You make an intreasting point, if you want maximum reach you'll always be stuck supporting the old. XP is dead to microsoft, you won't get new features backported to it any more. HTML5 may be the new hotness, but a lot of us won't get to use it as our default for a long time.
@Charles: Where's Ctrl+Q? I want a quick view of every tab I have
@seba.gomez: Ctrl+Q works on my machine
Would like to know if the IE Team is going to do IE Chat anytime soon, and if they don't, why.
I really love the new simple look of IE9 but I hate the tab position. I do not care if you think x amount of users use only three or four tabs. Have there be a USER option to display tabs above the address bar, bellow the address bar, or off. Off will go back to IE 6 and earlier style as well as be an option for those who access their sites from the windows 7 task bar. Next, the search box. Right now its a mess in the address bar. Allow an option.
I have problems white IE9 on my Windows 7 and it just says problems close the program.
1. What improvements have been made around touch support? Is the UI fully baked in this Beta?
2. What is the state of webslices, something you still encourage site developers to implement? For IE9, it would be really useful if we could preview these from the pinned site icon.
Q: Now that it appears that the basis for combining the tab and address bar into single row was based on statistics with confounding variables (such as PS3 below), insufficient metrics to measure workflow and UI usability/use efficiency and obviously lack of data to compare to from a "combined rows" dataset, what is the IE teams response to customer feedback such as below, and can we expect a fix (ability to have the bars on different "rows") for RTM?
Here's all I got to say (see image). As you can see I haven't even tried to install the IE9 beta yet after seeing this blocking bug discussed - I need more space for both address and tab bars rather than less on my CRT which I won't be parting from until there's a better than CRT tech in every way (high DPI 0 latency OLED/SED if we ever see such at reasonable price). I'll keep using the previews until this is fixed or the team/someone can convince me of "a better way using less tabs" that's so efficient compared to my old way that the time taken to learn the new way is quickly saved (have you measured the new tab workflow is that much better? I suspect the inefficiencies in the "lots of tabs" case swamp the benefits gained from having both in same row). This seems to fall to the same category of moves as moving keys around on a keyboard or an instrument for sake of newness/style:
(Window was purposefully resized to show how it's not more efficient to access tabs through yet another click/hover dropdown list. And what if all the tabs were same icons and titles began with same words like in some forums - you couldn't tell what tab was what without the dropdown/hovering when the space for the text in the tab is too small!)
PS. Skeptic in me says this "lock tabs+address bar into same row" issue is a management/marketing move -> Create a problem which will create ton of feedback -> fix the bug in RTM -> enjoy all the "IE team listens to customers!" feedback. More likely scenario is that that marketing wanted them on single row and the feature of moving them around was not yet written
PS2. I realize there's the "ultra widescreen argument" in which case there's possibly reasonable amount of space for the tabs. So show me your widescreen and I'll show you a 4:3 computer CRT that does things that digital & native.res displays can't do that IMO are more important! And what about the users who pivot the monitor for say coding?
PS3. Maybe, just maybe, people have just couple tabs most of the time because there already isn't enough space for them without severely limiting the amount of title text shown in a tab, title text that's used to determine the window contents without taking other action besides glancing at the tab text. So maybe tab use in single window is being "subconsciously limited". Did the measurements account for this possibility? I seriously suspect this and it makes the whole statistic flawed. The stats could be arguing FOR MORE SPACE FOR TAB BAR!
I am wondering if IE team will include FTPS (FTP over SSL/TLS) feature in IE9. We are in information age and secure file transfer is a must. FTPS is already published in RFC, so what they waiting for? Innovate for once! IIS team included it in IIS FTP 7.0/7.5 server.
I would like to reuse my search queries from history so I can either go back and perform search again or use it on another search engine as I did using the search box in IE8, but in IE9 having search and url address boxes combine into one makes it impossible to retrieve text queries from history. Every time I choose the text query that I previously typed from history, it displays as url address and immediately head to the web site. I would like an option that will keep the search and url address boxes seperate. I really like the IE9 so keep up the good work.
PS: Hope the IE9 will pass Acid3 test with flying color when released.
I've been a big tablet PC fan for years. I still prefer using my tablet, in portrait mode, to browse the web over any other device. Apple have even begun to show the mainstream users that the tablet form factor can be useful.
So why do the IE team seem to have missed this. Moving the favourites/home/menu buttons to the right hand side of the screen makes it incredibly uncomfortable to access for such a common need, as your arm naturally tends to favour the top left of the screen. Why do this? What do you gain? Likewise, the iffy supprt for pinning to the taskbar when it's anywhere but the bottom of the screen seems poor (most heavy tablet users soon learn the value of putting the taskbar at the top of the screen). Is this likely to improve post-beta?
And last, but by no means least, when I'm browsing in portrait mode vertical space is in abundance and horizontal space is at a premium. Yet IE9 still insists on trying to cram everything onto a single row, making the address bar useless (I'm lucky if I can see https://) and giving me barely room for a couple of tabs. If you don't want to make tabs on a new row optional, at least could you consider laying out differently on a portrait display?
I think I know what happened. The web site removed those extra bits that can show up when right clicking, but the cache has been left behind. A bug in ie9? I assume that the ie9 team are aware of this by now, so won't bother with sending in feedback.
end update.
I dragged a web site to the task bar and at first it had icons, but now the graphics or icons have gone missing.
here, a picture shows the problem.
3 days ago,tai_pan wrote
The tab pop out feature is nice but if you could pop it back in again that would be good too
You can drag the tab back to the "application" window you originaly draged it out from.
If minimal/clean UI is what the IE9 team is after, they might want to consider creating a companion application. I'm thinking a enhanced version of Links toolbar in the Windows taskbar. Instead just being a list of bookmarks...it should provide indication when new RSS feed items have arrived and list the feed titles/links like you can in Favorites bar today. And while they are it, make that taskbar toolbar much more touch friendly than the current Links toolbar. That would be a toolbar I can live with. Then again, it would be even more satisfying if this was integrated into each pinned site on the the taskbar. I guess what I'm saying here to the IE9 team...please don't consider the UI as it stands to be fully baked...there is more that can and should be done in this release.
1. Will we be able to move the tabs under the address bar in the final version. It seems a lot of people are asking for this but some reports on connect are being closed as "by design". If you are not giving us an option why not?
2. Why does IE9 (and IE8) sometimes crash the whole UI even though tabs are running in their own processes? Will this be fixed?
3. What's with the blurry text rendering? From the discussion on Connect it seems like it is some issue with the defaults of DirectWrite. Are you fixing this?
4. Why not have better plugin system based on .NET (MEF?). MS is so big on dogfooding why not this time?
5. Are we going to see more user centric features before the browser ships or you are just polishing?
With IE9, can we make hardware accelerated Windows Gadgets now?
@Stilgar: Good/interesting questions
- How final is the pref of ie9beta? can you comment on the recent kraken tests from mozilla?
- How final is the feature set around the ui? Being able to tear multiple tabs / tab groups would be a killer feature [that ive also posted on connect]
- Bump on questions about the plug-in model, ideally we would have something like mef for the ui, but im guessing thats hoping to much
- if the plugin model is not improved, will we atelast have the ability to write our own "shell" around the ie9 rendering engine? using theWebBrowser control in WPF for example

I'm really eager to start using Google's new Tensorflow library in C++. The website and docs are just really unclear in terms of how to build the project's C++ API and I don't know where to start.
Can someone with more experience help by discovering and sharing a guide to using tensorflow's C++ API?
To get started, you should download the source code from Github, by following the instructions here (you'll need Bazel and a recent version of GCC).
The C++ API (and the backend of the system) is in
tensorflow/core. Right now, only the C++ Session interface, and the C API are being supported. You can use either of these to execute TensorFlow graphs that have been built using the Python API and serialized to a
GraphDef protocol buffer. There is also an experimental feature for building graphs in C++, but this is currently not quite as full-featured as the Python API (e.g. no support for auto-differentiation at present). You can see an example program that builds a small graph in C++ here.
The second part of the C++ API is the API for adding a new
OpKernel, which is the class containing implementations of numerical kernels for CPU and GPU. There are numerous examples of how to build these in
tensorflow/core/kernels, as well as a tutorial for adding a new op in C++.

For the love of your pet: When you cat can't 'go'
By Shana Bohac
Jan. 2, 2014 at midnight
Updated Jan. 1, 2014 at 7:02 p.m.
My cat was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection. How can I prevent this from happening again?
Feline lower urinary tract disease is a disease that results from inflammation of the bladder and/or the urethra. It may occur because of partial or complete obstruction of the urinary tract. Complete urinary tract obstructions or blockages are life-threatening and require immediate treatment. This condition is usually because of the presence of small crystals in the urine.
The exact cause of feline lower urinary tract disease is unknown and may be because of several different causes. Age, sex, obesity, diet, stress and urine pH all contribute to the development of the disease. During stressful periods, the immune system may be weakened, allowing bacteria to grow quickly.
Signs that you may see include spending long periods squatting and possibly straining to urinate, continuously digging holes and acting like they need to urinate, passing only small amounts of urine, frequent attempts to urinate, vocalization during urination, blood-tinged urine and/or urination outside of the litter box. If your pet is completely blocked, you may also see lethargy, anorexia, vomiting, painful abdomen and/or swollen lower abdomen.
Treatment of feline lower urinary tract disease includes analysis of urine. This is required to actually confirm a diagnosis of the disease. Your veterinarian will look for white blood cells, blood, glucose, protein and other things in the urine. A cat with feline lower urinary tract disease will typically have white blood cells and possibly even blood in its urine. In some cases, X-rays and blood work may be performed. X-rays will check for stones in the bladder or urethra, which require surgical removal.
Antibiotics are a key treatment if a true infection is found. If your cat is producing crystals, then a prescription diet to reduce crystal formation may be suggested.
Your pet's urine will need to be rechecked occasionally to make sure the diet is still effectively eliminating the crystal. Your cat may need to be on this diet for life if it is continuing to work. If the bladder is blocked, the urethra may need to be flushed out with a catheter and the urine allowed to drain out. Intravenous fluids are typically given followed by hospitalization and observation.
There are some steps that you can take to reduce the occurrence of lower urinary tract problems. You can feed small meals on a frequent basis as well as provide clean, fresh water at all times. It is also very important to keep the litter boxes in quiet, safe areas of the house. You will also want to keep litter boxes clean. If you have more than one cat in the household. you will need to provide an adequate number of litter boxes.
Dr. Shana Bohac has a veterinary practice at Hill crest Animal Hospital in Victoria. She works on both small animals and equine patients. Submit questions to email@example.com.

Albuquerque, Boston and Austin all now have ATM machines that deal with bitcoin currency. USA TODAY
What comes out of a Bitcoin ATM?
Don't expect a rush of coins to shoot out of a hatch like at the casinos.
Bitcoins are all digital. Once the customer puts money into a Bitcoin ATM, such as the one launching in Austin, the machine dispenses a small paper QR code, which looks like a barcode, says Jordan Kelley, chief executive of Las Vegas-based Robocoin, which makes the ATMs. That code is scanned to a mobile app, which boosts the customer's bitcoin balance by the deposited amount.
A user can also get cash for his bitcoins at the ATM by scanning the mobile app containing the encrypted bitcoin balance. The machine will then dispense the amount of cash requested, Kelley says.
Other Bitcoin machines recently launched in New Mexico and Boston allow customers to get bitcoins for cash — but don't dispense cash for bitcoins, a key distinction between those machines and the Austin ATM, he says.
Users will need to scan their palm prints, as well as a government-issued ID, using biometric scanners. And first-time users will need to do a face scan to authenticate their identity.
Bitcoins can also be obtained at online exchanges, but it's a process that takes several days, whereas the ATM can do it nearly instantaneously, Kelley says.
"You're talking about incredible speeds," he says. "You're able to buy and sell within minutes, not days."

Differentiate the fnction
Simplify first:
I'm going to expand the numerator so my next step will be a bit clearer:
Now mulitply the numerator and denominator by x^4. We would normally need to be wary of doing this, but the domain of the original function excludes x = 0 anyway in this case.
You should be able to take the derivative now.

The Skoda Octavia has been named overall winner at the 2013 Tow Car Awards.
Skoda's new family hatchback beat off stiff competition in a field of 46 cars to take the title. Cars were tested in five weight classes, with the Skoda Octavia 2.0 TDI 150 Elegance taking the lightest weight division for cars with kerbweights up to 1424kg as well as the overall win.
David Motton, tow car editor of Practical Caravan magazine and one of the judges, said: "The Skoda tows brilliantly, is extremely practical, good to drive and costs less than you'd think. Most importantly, it proves that a great tow car doesn't need to be heavy, thirsty or expensive."
The class for cars weighing 1425-1579kg was won by the Volkswagen Passat Estate Sport 2.0 TDI BlueMotion Technology 177PS.
The 1580-1724kg class went to the BMW 330d Luxury Touring, while the 1725-1899kg category went to the Jaguar XF Sportbrake 3.0 V6 Diesel Premium Luxury.
The heaviest weight division, for cars with kerbweights over 1900kg, was won by the Land Rover Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 XS.
Further awards were given to cars which impressed the judges but just missed out in their weight class.
The Kia Rio 1.4 CRDI '3' 3dr was named "Best Ultra-light Tow Car", the Mazda 6 2.0 165 Sport was named "Best Petrol Tow Car", the Honda Civic 1.6 i-DTEC ES won the "Green Award" and the Dacia Duster dCi 110 Ambiance 4x4 earned the title "Best Budget 4x4".
The Tow Car Awards project is a joint venture between Practical Caravan, What Car? and The Camping and Caravanning Club.
Each car went through a range of tests including a lane-change manoeuvre, 30-60mph acceleration, 30-0mph braking and a hill-start test. The cars were also scored for practicality, regular day-to-day driving, value for money and safety.

Hello everyone. I just realized tonight — if I were to get elected to the council, I would no longer be able to liveblog the council meetings. Billy Dennis will have to stop sloughing off and cover the meetings for the blogosphere again.
Well, here we are in Council chambers, and here's tonight's agenda (below). As always, I'll be updating this post throughout the evening, so refresh your browser if you're following along live. The time is 6:37 p.m., and former mayor Bud Grieves is speaking — he's just received a proclamation celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Mark Twain Hotel, which he owns. Congrats to him. The proclamation was notable because it pointed out that he received no public funding, but made it into a successful hotel with all private investment. Just remember that the next time some developer comes to City Hall saying they can't be successful without $40 million of your tax money.
When they voted to approve the minutes, Sandberg's light didn't illuminate, as it's apparently burned out. Mayor Ardis said, "Due to non-use, Councilman Sandberg's green light does not work." That got a laugh from everyone.

The August U.S. automotive industry sales numbers were a mixed bag of good and bad news for car companies across Indiana. The sales numbers were largely positive for American car companies, with Chrysler, GM and Ford all showing double-digit increases.
Chrysler in particular had a strong showing, posting a 31-percent rise, allowing it to surpass Toyota for third in the U.S. auto market. United Auto Workers Local 685 Vice President Jerry Price, a Chrysler employee in Kokomo, says the positive sales figures help morale at the plant, which he believes affects quality.
"Is Chrysler out of the woods yet? Absolutely not," he said. "We know that we're not going to show an over thirty percent sales increase every month but we're headed in the right direction."
Honda's August sales told a much different story. Still feeling the effects of the Japanese earthquake in March, Honda's sales fell 24-percent last month. But Honda Manufacturing of Indiana spokeswoman Anita Sipes says the Greensburg plant is getting back up to full production and is restarting its second shift in October.
"As we get back to full production after that earthquake and tsunami, we have some overtime planned in October," she said. "So things are looking up and we're positive that sales are going to look better in the months to come."
U.S. automotive sales overall rose seven and a half percent last month.

Puberty is that stage in every person's life when he or she moves ahead from being a child to becoming an adult, which indicates that the sexual hormones in the human body are now activated. In females, it indicates that their menstrual cycles now begin and that they will face multiple changes in their body, ranging from hormonal one to physical ones. At first, it can be slightly difficult for young girls at the age of 13 or 14 to accept their puberty and get to terms with it. Sometimes, when the parents have not really talked about this to their daughters, they have a lack of information and feel scared and think that they have caught some kind of a disease. But of course, later on they do realise that it is a normal stage in their life and a part of their life cycle, and they start to deal with it.
One of the most important physical changes that occur with females during puberty is that of the development of breasts. Elements that make a female look more like a 'woman' than a 'girl' start to develop. Their body structure also starts to change where their waist might start to slim down, while areas such as the thighs and the hips may start to widen. In some females, it is common to find that one breast grows bigger than the other. This is something that is perfectly normal and gets sorted with time.
Hair development also starts occurring at most parts of the body, including hair on the arm pits along with greater hair on the legs and other parts of the body. Pubic hair also starts to develop more at this point of time. This is the time when females get into the habit of gong to salons and parlours regularly for beauty hair removal treatments like waxing etc.
Most females often tend to get scared with the acne that suddenly develops on their face, but it is perfectly normal during puberty. In fact, even 3-4 years later than puberty, women have a tendency to get small pimples on their face when it is just about time for their menstrual cycle to begin. Keeping the face clean and not playing with the pimples by pricking them are the most important steps to be followed. Make sure that you do not end up messing with your acne at this stage, or else the scars would remain for a lifetime. Take the help of a dermatologist if required.
With time, women tend to understand their body better as it keeps on developing. At first, it can turn out to be difficult for young girls to accept the changes and they also cannot identify the problems properly. But gradually they do understand that these are normal hormonal changes that happen with everyone. Even men face a lot of physical changes when they are maturing and thus, puberty and the bodily and physical developments that happen after it are completely normal for everyone.

My first day with The Harry M Miller Group (HMMG) as an Agent…excitement, nervousness, but more important a most amazing opportunity! I was 21 years old and my job was to manage the Big Brother Housemates (yes…the housemates had an agent!).
For any up-and-coming agent, there is no better training ground. I had the responsibility for scheduling all of their appearances, negotiating their contracts, managing their expectations (a full time job by itself!) and pitching ideas to secure endorsement deals, appearance engagements, radio hosting gigs, etc., etc..
Throughout the 5 years I spent working as a Senior Agent at HMMG, I had the privilege of working with some Australia's most beloved media personalities and experts in their field including Ita Buttrose, Ryan Fitzgerald, Peter Morrissey, Gai Waterhouse, Zoe Bingley-Pullin and Collette Dinnigan.
I had the chance during this time to do a number of deals across licensing, publishing, television, speaking and endorsements and was responsible for increasing the profiles of my clients while making sure to bring in the bucks!
So…it's no surprise that a large chunk of my clients are now made up of super-talented business owners who want to position themselves as an authority figure in their particular niche. Honestly, it's the best thing they can do for their business!
Developing into an Expert requires more than simple book knowledge. Think about it…how many people are doing exactly what you're doing in your particular industry who share a similar knowledge base? If your answer is "a lot" then how exactly do you plan to stand above the crowd? How do you plan on being the voice people turn to when they need an expert on a topic when there are so many out there with the same "knowledge"?
That is the topic of this week's blog. I want to share with you a few ideas to get you to that point…to share with you some of the things you could be doing today to make sure you remain top-of-mind with potential clients and become their "go-to" person. I want to help you build the awareness others have of you while at the same time help you build your credibility and authority status!
Create Connections
Are you as engaged as you could be with the media who write, blog and speak on your industry? Do you know who these voices are? More important, do they know who YOU are? If you're not connected in with the "movers and shakers" of your industry…the time to get started is now!
Put it into WORDS
Writing is a great way to get your message out there. It lets you demonstrate to your market that you know your stuff and can help them! You might have seen over the last 2 weeks that my work has been featured in The Huffington Post, Addicted 2 Success and Under30CEO. Start getting your words down on paper and out to the networks that will help build your authority status!
Say it LOUD
If you want to be known as an expert in your field…don't keep your knowledge and experience to yourself. Do NOT be afraid to speak! Where do your clients go to receive information and get advice? Now…why aren't you speaking/presenting at these places? Is there a networking, social or industry event that you might be able to speak at? If so…start developing those relationships and get on the schedule!
Show it
Typically your website will be the first place people begin learning about who you are, what you know and what you can do for them. But…do you suffer from "website shame?" How are you showcasing your talents as a leader in your field? Look at your website and pretend you've never heard of you and ask yourself how impressed (or UN-impressed) you are after reading what you have on your website. How do your testimonials look? Do you have logos of clients you've worked with in the past on display? In short, make sure that you put your best foot forward with your site. If you can't get that right…how will you ever be considered an expert?
Being considered an authority figure in your industry will be crucial to your current and ongoing success. Take the time and put forth the effort to become a leader in your field…unless of course you're satisfied with being part of the herd. By setting yourself apart you will position your business in such a way that clients will be seeking YOU out…not the other way around!
Are you ready to take that step? If so, let's book a time to chat about my Undiscovered 2 Authority mentoring program! Simply reach out to me at firstname.lastname@example.com with your contact details and let's get the conversation rolling!
P.S. Did you see my exciting announcement on Facebook yesterday?

What do you get when you cross an Australian Terrier with a Yorkshire Terrier? Well, during the turn of the last century, dog lovers Down Under discovered the answer in their search to improve color in the former through introductions of the latter. The active canine companion that resulted is the spirited little dog known in North America as the Silky Terrier.
During the late 19th century, fanciers in New South Wales and Victoria imported Yorkies from England and crossed the largest among them with the native Aussie breed. The puppies that resulted varied in type, naturally, and dogs from those early breedings could be exhibited as Australian Terriers, Yorkshire Terriers or the newly emerging Sydney Silky Terrier.
Two different standards were drafted for the new breed in 1906 and 1909, each requiring a distinct weight range and permissible ear carriage. According to a cover story published in the July 1986 AKC Gazette, "A revised standard was published in 1926, while efforts were made to stabilize weights." In 1932, the Kennel Control Council of Victoria introduced legislation that prevented further crossings of the three breeds.
In 1955, the breed's name officially became Australian Silky Terrier in its country of origin. During this time, American servicemen returning home via Sydney brought a few of the blue and tan dogs back to the States. The little dogs' silky coats and joyful nature made them ideal companions among many of the returning GIs' families.
"The Australian National Kennel Council was formed in 1958, and one of their first acts of business was to recommend the development of a national standard for the Australian Silky Terrier," according to the Gazette. A nationally recognized standard for the breed in Australia was approved in March of 1959, and AKC recognition was granted two months later.
Although a toy in size, the Silky Terrier Club of America's breed brochure is quick to point out the typically Terrier-like characteristics of the sensational Silky. "Keep in mind that Silkys were used in Australia as a household pet, but they also had a purpose," according to the brochure. "That was to keep the vermin 'outside.'" As befits their Terrier background, Silkys can be territorial, and are said to be fearless of mice, snakes and even dogs far greater in size.
The alert, active and companionable Silky is a Toy dog of substance. Its radiant blue and tan coat presents a natural beauty, without relying on over-the-top glamour. Like its Terrier cousins, the personality of the Silky is keen and generally uncompromising.
The Silky Terrier is without a universally accepted classification among purebred dog registries. In Australia, New Zealand and the U.K., the Australian Silky Terrier is classified as a Toy dog, just as the Silky Terrier is in the U.S. and Canada. The Fédération Cynologique Internationale places the breed in Group 3, Section 4, together with the Yorkshire Terrier, the English Toy (Toy Manchester) Terrier and the Toy Fox Terrier.
By any name, the tough little two-toned Terrier is a popular fit for many devoted dog lovers. In the U.S. alone, registrations of the Silky Terrier in 2011 confirm its reputation as a companion of choice, placing it 85th of the 173 recognized breeds.
A True Toy Terrier
The General Appearance section of the AKC breed standard describes the Silky Terrier as "a true 'toy Terrier.'" The breed's parent club, the Silky Terrier Club of America, defines the breed, in part, as having "refined bone structure, but of sufficient substance to suggest the ability to hunt and kill domestic rodents."
The Toy and Terrier combination translates as a dog that measures "nine to ten inches" at the shoulder, with the "keenly alert air of the Terrier." Though small in size, the breed is neither delicate in form, nor in character.
The Silky Terrier's inquisitive nature and joy for life make it an ideal companion for those dog lovers who enjoy having a busybody around the house. Its manner is "quick, friendly, responsive," according to the standard's section on temperament, and any shy or excessively nervous behavior is considered faulty.
Terrier temperament in the breed is perhaps best expressed by the Silky's (usually) docked tail. "Tail carriage is an excellent indication of proper, as well as improper, temperament," according to the parent club's "Discussion of the Silky Terrier Standard." Set high and carried from a 12 to two o'clock position, a correctly carried tail exalts the breed's typical Terrier temperament.
Slightly Longer Than Tall
The Silky Terrier is a rectangular breed in profile, with a silhouette that is "slightly longer than tall," according to the General Appearance section of the standard. Its overall length is defined by the standard's section on proportion as "about one fifth longer than the dog's height at the withers." A dog measuring 10 inches tall, therefore, would measure approximately 12 inches "from the point of the shoulder (or forechest) to the rearmost projection of the upper thigh (or point of the buttocks.)"
"Lightly built with strong but rather fine bone," a Silky Terrier's substance depends on the size of bone and overall muscular fitness. A correctly made Silky falls somewhere between the small and compactly built Yorkie and the more substantially made Aussie.
Although the Silky Terrier was bred primarily to be a companion, it is also a capable ratter and should possess the physical soundness of a working Terrier. According to the breed standard, a roach or dip in the topline is a serious fault, and excessive or inadequate body length is likewise faulty in the breed.
Silky, Not Sculpted
Named for its signature coat, Australia's lively little ratter cleans up nicely for the Toy Group. Its straight, single, glossy coat is – obviously – silky in texture. According to the standard's section on coat, the hair "falls below and follows the body outline." Unlike the Yorkshire Terrier, the Silky's coat should not approach floor length and should never be sculpted.
In the parent club's breed brochure, the Silky Terrier is described as "naturally clean pointed," which indicates the absence of long hair on the ears and feet. Otherwise the hair is moderate in length, and parted on the head, neck and over the back to the set-on of the tail. The hair on the face should not be long and the legs should have short hair "from the pastern and hock joints to the feet." The tail should be well-coated, but devoid of any plume.
The Silky Terrier's two-toned adult coat has a lustrous sheen that cannot be enhanced through sculpting. Coloring is blue and tan, with blue extending from the base of the skull to the tip of the tail, down the forelegs to the elbows, half way down the outside of the thighs and on the tail. Tan points are found on the muzzle and cheeks, around the base of the ears, on the legs and feet, and around the vent. The trademark topknot may be either silver or a fawn color that is lighter than the tan points.
The Silky Terrier combines many of the Australian and Yorkshire Terrier's fine qualities without depending too heavily on either. The Silky is its own Toy Terrier, through and through.

Guest column
© St. Petersburg Times, published January 19, 2003
I think this is an entirely different team from the ones that have lost in Philadelphia the past two years. This team has a different coaching staff, you have a totally different mentality. Sure, it has no explosive people on offense, none, and that eliminates an element. But it's more efficient, you have receivers that can make plays, they're big guys.
And another big difference with this Bucs team: In the previous years starting as far back as 1999, it has been a team that has started slowly and then fought back into the situation of being competitive and into contention. And then I think it ran out of gas, particularly on the defensive side when the playoffs arrived. If you look back through the history of this season, this team comes in at a much better physical and mental state then it has been before.
Yes, it lost to Philadelphia this season, but to me, Jon Gruden didn't have any idea what he had in September, and he probably didn't even know what he had in October. I think the team was still feeling out its new coach. The Bucs are eons away from where they were when the season started and where they are today. This team, with the personnel it has on the offensive side, I don't believe it could be any better suited than to go and compete than it is right now.
The running game will be crucial. Teams have proven they can run the football against the Eagles. The Giants ran the ball against them, the Colts ran the ball against them.
The Bucs haven't run the ball well, but all they need to do is run a little. They need to present some kind of a running threat. I think in the past games, there hasn't been any whatsoever. And without a little bit of a running attack, the passing attack is nonexistent. This is going to be a different story this week because they are not playing against safeties as corners.
Nobody should get excited about what they did against the San Francisco secondary. The only people that should get excited about that are people who have no earthly idea what football is about, because you basically had wide receivers beating safeties, and now you go up against Sam Madison and Bobby Taylor. They could be the best tandem in the game, especially when you think of the pressure they can bring.
Philly defensive coordinator Jim Johnson is very judicious when it comes to his blitz packages. That's where the running game is going to be so important. Jim's not going to be inclined to go after Brad if it's second and 6 or third and 4. I think the Bucs offense will get itself in trouble if it has to convert third and long or it gets holding penalties, and it's now first and 20. That's when you'll see pressure. It'll be very important for this offense both physically and mentally to keep itself out of the obvious pressure down.
Offensively the Bucs aren't going to scare anybody, but they're good enough now to be able to be encouraging to their defense.
Many of us in the media and the fans have asked how good would the Tampa Bay Bucs be if they could get points on the board and cut their defense loose. Well, we saw it against San Francisco this past week. You saw what happens when this team can play ahead, and it's awesome what it can do.
The Bucs cannot afford to let the Eagles get a 14-point lead. They can't afford to let them run away, because if they do, Brad Johnson is not the kind of guy who is going to be able to drop back 45 times and win. If he drops back 40 times, I don't think they win. If they keep it under 40, they did a good job. If they have to throw more than that, then you start to expose the offensive line.
Tampa Bay's ability to control the front four of the Eagles will be the difference in this football game. If Brad gets some time, the guys will make plays, and if they create some holes, he'll have his second and 6s. And I think they can.
As for Veterans Stadium, it's a tough place for an opponent to play, but I got a kick out of Jon saying they're not leaving the country to play; it's in the United States. I think it's a tough place to play, but New York is a tough place to play, and think how tough it is for people to come to Tampa and play.
The reason for the mystique about Veterans Stadium is because the past two years have been a disaster. But I think that psychologically, the cold weather and traveling to Philadelphia is a moot point for this football team. I don't think it's a factor at all. Jon will tell them, hey, we won in Chicago, guys. The cold doesn't mean diddly.
I think the game is much closer than the 31-9 it was the last time they played up there in the playoffs. To me, this is a game in which obviously turnovers will make a big difference; they always do. And field position will be a very big thing. The field goal kickers will be monumental in this game.
I think the score is 17-14, but I couldn't tell you who is going to win.

Yep, videogames are full of characters whose drug use is completely without consequence. In fact, in these games, using drugs makes winning easier. In this list, Topless Robot takes a clean, hard look at these game characters who spat in the face of Mr. Sessions by showing kids that sometimes, actually, drugs can be incredibly helpful in beating that next boss. Please note we're not counting any games in which drugs hinder you (i.e., drinking booze in Grand Theft Auto) or magical things like potions. That said, we're sure this list isn't complete, so feel free to include your favorite drug-fueled "winners" in the comments.
