POINT OMEGA by don delillo
a beautifully structured murder mystery, or is it an idea of the universe as an inversion of the infinite, a compression of all event into a common, everyday chamber? war as haiku is one of its "unintentionally humorous" conceits… i admit to being totally surprised by this book. at first approach, reading the familiar delillo scenes of lonely men in empty rooms i was lulled into thinking we'd be covering old ground. but in the middle of the book, a plot point, which initially feels somewhat easy and perhaps manipulative, twists this plain land into a haunting and eldritch möbius strip.
after you've read the book (because it contains spoilers), this odd publicity prose from scribner, documented on wikipedia, is a very good précis of the book.
a great interview in the WSJ here. a liked bit:
WSJ: You've often discussed the need for writers to stand in opposition to society and people in power, and to be outsiders. How has that idea guided your work?
Mr. DeLillo: It's very non-specific. It's not something one does consciously; it's just a general sense that this culture is so filled with consumption and waste that, even if one doesn't write about it in specific terms as I did write about it in "Underworld," I think a writer may feel that he is standing in opposition to this, and perhaps in a very general way to the idea of power itself.
WSJ: Do you think most contemporary fiction writers are living up to that task?
Mr. DeLillo: It's hard to judge. I don't know

Sleeper Awakes With Freight Train on Top
A man had a miraculous escape yesterday, sustaining only minor injuries when a freight train rolled over the top of him while he slept between the tracks.
The Bendigo man, 20, was sleeping at a level crossing in Port Augusta, 300km northwest of Adelaide, when the train approached about 3.40am.
The driver spotted the man and applied the emergency brake, but the FreightLink train, carrying 3000 tonnes of freight, was unable to stop in time.
The train rolled over the man, still lying between the tracks, and stopped just ahead of him.
It is believed the man hit his head on the train while trying to sit up. It is understood he may have been intoxicated.
FreightLink general manager Tony Aldridge said the tracks were "not the best place" to take a nap. "It was probably lucky he was lying in such a way that the train actually went over him rather than across him," he said.

Jan 30/13 Dear Rob & Jo-Anne: Just a note to say how much Chris and I enjoyed our Eagle Tour on Dec. 1st. Your jet boat is the ideal way to do this. Having been to NZ numerous times I was a bit apprehensive since jetboat use there often seems ill considered from an ecological standpoint. I guess being a sailor (sailboat) racing up and down narrow rivers at breakneck speed just doesn't appeal. Driving at 100 kmh on shoulder-less NZ roads seems to provide enough "thrills & chills" .
Your jet boat use is both educational and carefully respects the local environment and the fauna. Both yours and David Hancock's commentaries were very informative. Lunch after at the Kilby cafe was delightful.

Pierro, winner of his previous eight starts, took his ''A'' game to the Caulfield Guineas yesterday but left amid claims his bubble - or the Sydney hype - had burst.
The term was brought into play by Dwayne Dunn, regarding All Too Hard, which produced considerable resources for mining tycoon Nathan Tinkler. Dunn was referring to All Too Hard, the half-brother of Black Caviar, being disappointing in Sydney but finding his best to down Pierro, the $1.22 favourite, by a half-length.
Earlier the great mare More Joyous ($2.30) could finish only fourth in the Toorak Handicap, bringing something like her ''C'' game, but Queenslander Buffering ($2.60) was very much an ''A'' in the Schillaci.
Pierro, though, was ''magnificent'' in defeat, according to Greg Carpenter, the Racing Victoria chief handicapper, and it's an opinion not tarnished by the punt.
A few horse players lined the fence and heckled Nash Rawiller, rider of Pierro, with a ferocity that suggested they'd had $1 million to $200,000 on.
''Gai must have been pretty easy on him [Rawiller] after More Joyous, because he certainly learned nothing on Pierro,'' Vo Rogue bleated in an email to Racenet after the race.
Pierro added to the growing list of Rawiller-Gai Waterhouse favourites to go down recently, including Sugar Rush ($1.55) and Proisir ($1.28) at Randwick on October 6. The assistance of a barrier blanket, also used on Black Caviar, was given much credit for All Too Hard returning to his best, but Dunn maintained the hot speed, enforced by Pierro, was a contributing factor.
Under the circumstances Carpenter felt Pierro was ''super'' because of his effort ''being used going up the Caulfield hill''.
Waterhouse was gracious about the loss. ''Great horses can fail at Caulfield,'' she stressed.
Pierro was awkward in the gates, Rawiller reported - began tardily and was involved in a scrimmage early, for which James McDonald was later suspended. The Lonhro colt quickly moved into second position and hit the lead early in the straight, a setback in the view of Glen Boss, who will handle Cox Plate fancy Ocean Park against Pierro at Moonee Valley.
''He lost [sight of] the 'bunny','' Boss commented. ''It's a long straight and I wouldn't take anything away from him.''
Pierro eased from $2.20 to $3 for the Cox Plate with Betstar while Ocean Park firmed from $6 to $5 after winning a lacklustre Caulfield Stakes. All Too Hard came in from $41 to $6. Betfair had Pierro and Ocean Park trading at $4.40.
While many keen judges rated the Caulfield Stakes well short of A-level, the enthusiasm of Boss for the New Zealander is infectious. Ocean Park appeared to be under pressure in the straight. The jockey clarified: ''He switched off because he needed the run,'' and then went into raptures about the four-year-old.
But a day that promised so much for Waterhouse and Rawiller faltered firstly with More Joyous, rated one of the best mares in the world. Not yesterday.
Again the Caulfield hill came into play. Corey Brown, who handled the winner, Solzhenitsyn, felt More Joyous (60kg) was vulnerable when Rawiller had to use her to get into a forward position. ''They can all be beaten,'' Duncan Grimley, racing manager for John Singleton, owner of More Joyous, said.
Rawiller sought missing rhythm on More Joyous but only got the blues. The track had been upgraded and he pondered she could have been feeling the hard ground. Before the race he reckoned the mare wanted a ''tough run'' to season her for the Cox Plate.
The form student and bookmaker Robbie Waterhouse, husband of Gai, felt the major reason for the More Joyous flop was ''soft wins'' in the lead-up weight-for-age races.
However, Buffering, with Hugh Bowman up, confirmed he is one of the best, if not the best sprinter in Australia, with his dynamic performance in the Schillaci. ''This is his time,'' Bowman stressed.
Before the Schillaci, Buffering had the imposing record of 10 wins and 11 placings from 27 starts with fourths in the Manikato, the Coolmore, the Healy Stakes and the Stradbroke, earning an ''A'' for consistency.
Brisbane's leading trainer, Rob Heathcote, also carries the high rating, taking the Toorak with Solzhenitsyn, which has five out of his past six attempts.
Of course, John Hawkes, the patriarch of Team Hawkes who has carried the ''A'' for some years, again emphasised skill in getting the best out of All Too Hard, a stallion with attitude.
Waterhouse was emphatic that the Caulfield Guineas is the making of a great stallion. Wouldn't Twiggy Forrest like a resources boom like All Too Hard?

For the past four months I have been a political prisoner.
Tim and Ian have locked Crunchy Durden and myself behind bars. We had done nothing wrong, but Tim and Ian's paranoia had set in. They believed Crunchy Durden's growing influence on me was corrupting my reign as Cornflake King. Cornflake Towers has been in turmoil, but at last yesterday, a ruling by the Supreme Court of Cornflake Rights pronounced us both innocent. And I returned to my throne as the rightful king.
Boy oh boy did we party!!! Woo hoo!
I started off with a can or six of Cornsberg in my royal parlour. I helped it along with a nice celebratory bowl of popcorn.
Then me and Crunchy Durden popped down the Flaked Lion, our local pub, for a spot of champers with the lads in the VIP room. We had a blast.
Unfortunately, things got out of hand, Crunchy Durden and me were sparko by the end of the night and if you look carefully you can see we've both been sick as we passed out.
Boy it's great to be free and it's great to be back.
Tim and Ian have vanished. I don't know where they are. And Crunchy Durden is still going on about "Project Cornflake" whatever that is.
By the way, I've decided to bestow the honour of Member of the Cornflake Empire upon Monty Panesar for his wonderful bowling performance against Australia in the first innings at Perth. Well done Monty!!!
It's good to say this,

Manasquan junior Marina Mabrey, the two-time reigning Asbury Park Press Player of the Year committed to head coach Muffet McGraw and the 2014 national finalist on Thursday afternoon.
Her verbal ends a recruitment that saw her pick up interest from several of the top programs in the nation including Tennessee, Baylor, Maryland, Duke, Louisville, South Carolina, Miami.
Mabrey heading to South Bend comes as little surprise given her sister has had a positive experience in her two years there, but no matter what Michaela had to say about Notre Dame, this was ultimately Marina's decision.
"I never pressured her throughout her recruiting process," Michaela Mabrey said via text from South Bend on Tuesday afternoon. "I knew that once she stepped foot onto a campus, she would know right away that she wanted to go there. I'm just so happy that place was here."
After transferring back to Manasquan from Point Beach in late December, Mabrey took a Warriors team that was already formidable and made them a serious threat on the state level.
In 20 games as a junior, she averaged 20.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3.6 steals per game. Manasquan went 18-2 in those 20 games, falling to perennial Shore Conference and state power St. John Vianney in her second game after gaining eligibility and in the NJSIAA Tournament of Champions final to Malcolm X Shabazz.
In between, the Warriors won Shore Conference Tournament, Central Jersey Group II and Group II titles.
This may have been Marina's decision, but at its core, this is a family matter.
The two Mabrey sisters spent one year in high school together, leading Manasquan to a TOC crown in 2012. Now, they will have the opportunity to play together one final time in 2015-16 when Michaela will be a senior and Marina a freshman.
"I cried my eyes out because our dreams of playing together one last time have become reality," Michaela Mabrey said. "She has worked so hard to get where she is today. I've seen her grow every day not only as a player, but as a person."

Creating and sharing Mock-ups
So, to ease these challenges, I've started to investiage different ways in which we can improve collaboration within the projects I'm involved in, moving beyond the traditional IM/IRC, Email and phone-conferencing facilities we use every day.
When developing software, I love visual representations of ideas, such as ER diagrams, UML, and UI prototypes/mock-ups. I am a very visual thinker, and usually spend a lot of time sketching ideas on paper before implementing them in code. However, paper isn't the easiest medium for collaboration across the globe, especially when you want to mash-up and collaborate in this process. I still haven't found a good and FOSS 'sketching' tool, but must admit that I have in previous lives relied a lot on e.g. MS Visio.
Today, however, I discovered Balsamiq Mockups, a web and desktop based mockup tool based on Adobe AIR. It was easy to install on Fedora 9 (using Flash 10 and the Linux Beta of Adobe AIR). The free version won't let you save diagrams or PNG snapshots, so a lower resolution(?) screen-grab will have to do for now. It also lets you import/export diagrams as XML (even in the free version!), so it's really handy as these XML files can e.g. be stored in version control repositories and can thus easily be shared with team members. Here's a quick mock-up I did to test the application:
At some point I started missing some of the advanced layout features (e.g. modifying the values of the pie-chart), but then again, it is a mock-up and is supposed to be quick-and-sketchy!

I don't think promoting proprietary software on Planet Fedora is appropriate, especially when you're indirectly suggesting its use for Free Software projects. And that software isn't even free of charge, so you're also advertising a commercial product. I consider it a really bad idea to rely on proprietary tools for Free Software development (see the Linux BitKeeper fiasco for how this can end up). And the free of charge version is crippleware. The software also requires Adobe AIR software which is also proprietary.
Any drawing program (e.g. Inkscape, GIMP etc.) can be used to draw mockups. It is also possible to use a UI designer like Qt Designer or Glade, with the added advantage that this creates a prototype which can be reused directly in the actual software rather than just a mockup.
For diagrams, try Umbrello, Kivio or Dia.

RE: promoting proprietary software
I wish there was a good open source solution for this, but I haven't found one (yet). While Inkscape, GIMP and e.g. DIA let's you do a lot, they won't let you create a quick-and-dirty yet good looking mockup in less than 10 minutes, unless perhaps if you're an expert user of the tool or a talented graphical designer. It would be interesting to do something similar to this with e.g. a stripped down version of Inkscape and a set of 'customizable' mockup SVG clip-art that you could drag and drop onto a canvas..

This week at the New York Times, I took a look at the large shift in the NFL's conference wars:
Consider that from 2002 to 2010, the A.F.C. won 56 percent of games against the National Football Conference, with an average score of 23.0 to 20.2. The percentage in favor of the A.F.C. from 2004 to 2010 was 57, an edge that is equivalent to what you would expect for a home team in a game against evenly matched squads.
The dominance of the A.F.C. was also obvious when examining the elite teams. According to Pro-Football-Reference.com's Simple Rating System, the top six teams in the A.F.C. in each year from 2002 to 2010 had an average rating of +7.7, indicating that they were 7.7 points above average. The top N.F.C. teams were only 4.6 points better than average. This difference became particularly glaring in the Super Bowl; the A.F.C. champion has been the favorite in 9 of the 10 Super Bowls since realignment.
But things have changed. Last year was the first since 2002 that the N.F.C. won the interconference battle, albeit by the razor-thin margin of 33-31. That was just the appetizer. Entering last weekend, the N.F.C. was 10-4 against the A.F.C.
Then, in seven interconference games in Week 5, the N.F.C. won five more games. The Vikings beat the Titans, the Giants handled Cleveland, the Bears overpowered the Jaguars, the Saints defeated the Chargers, and the 49ers crushed the Bills. If not for last-minute comeback wins in Pittsburgh and Indianapolis, it would have been a horrific football weekend for the A.F.C.
The N.F.C.'s record this year is now a sparkling 15-6 in interconference games, with the average game margin being over 10 points.
The N.F.C. has also won the last three Super Bowls, although the Saints and the Giants were underdogs entering Super Bowls XLIV and XLVI. So why has the balance of power shifted in the N.F.L.?
As you might suspect, the league's most important position provides a clue. In the East, North and South divisions, all 12 N.F.C. teams have found their answers at quarterback, or at least are no longer searching for their quarterback of the future.
Last year, Detroit's Matthew Stafford was the third player to throw for 40 touchdowns and 5,000 yards in a season, and he wasn't even selected to fill one of the conference's three Pro Bowl quarterback slots — or chosen as an alternate, thanks to great seasons by Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Eli Manning and Cam Newton.
And while the N.F.C. West is short on talented quarterbacks (Alex Smith-excluded, as he leads the league in passer rating and is second in Adjusted Net Yards per Attempt), it is very long on great defense, and is 4-0 against the A.F.C this year.
Meanwhile, the Bills, the Jets, the Dolphins, the Browns, the Titans, the Jaguars, the Raiders and the Chiefs all have question marks at quarterback. Uncertainty at quarterback is a sure way to shift the balance of power.

Pulpit Speech (Ministry Monographs for Modern Times)
Lucid speech is not a natural gift. This book on the elements of pulpit speech has been designed primarily as a pre-preaching course. It presupposes that at length the student will study the principles and practice of homiletics and therefore makes no attempt to deal with homiletics as such. Yet the speck needs of the minister have been kept in the forefront at all times. Hopefully, pastors to may benefit from using this book as a refresher course. Each chapter includes Suggested Projects for the classroom or individual study.

News of the Day From Across the Globe
Updated 10:46 pm, Thursday, January 31, 2013
1 Election shooting: Ara Minasian, the chief doctor of the Yerevan Clinical Hospital, said presidential candidate Paruir Airikian was shot by an unidentified gunman in the Armenian capital Thursday. Airikian, who is in stable condition, is one of eight candidates in the Feb. 18 presidential vote, which incumbent Serge Sarkisian is expected to win. Police are searching for the gunman.
2 9/11 trial: The second round of pretrial hearings in the Sept. 11 case sputtered to a close Thursday with the judge ordering the government to remove censorship equipment from the courtroom at the U.S. base in Guantanamo. Army Col. James Pohl ordered an undisclosed government agency to disconnect equipment it used to unilaterally cut the courtroom sound system to prevent the release of classified information to spectators.
3 Vigilante justice: Vigilantes who have taken up arms against drug cartel violence and common crime in Mexico's Pacific coast state of Guerrero announced Thursday they will bring charges against 50 men and three women who they have been holding prisoner at improvised jails. Armed villagers in the township of Ayutla said authorities have failed to bring peace and safety to their community. The growing movement toward self-policing, which has since spread to other towns in Guerrero, has sparked concern among human rights officials.

4 Nightclub fire: Brazilian authorities inspected and shuttered night spots around the country on Thursday as part of a crackdown on unsafe public spaces after a deadly nightclub fire left 235 people dead in the southern town of Santa Maria. Officials in Venezuela, Nicaragua and Mexico followed Brazil's example and tightened scrutiny on their own nightclubs. In Rio de Janeiro, officials said they were studying the possible closure of some of the dozens of cultural centers, said to hold expired licenses.
5 Pope gunman: The Turkish gunman who shot Pope John Paul II in 1981 has changed his story once again. In "They Promised Me Paradise" released Thursday in Italy, Mehmet Ali Agca writes that Iran's late leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini told him to kill John Paul in the name of God. Agca previously said he had acted alone, but later suggested Bulgaria and the Soviet Union's KGB were behind the attack. Agca was released from prison in 2010.
6 "Girl" gets her name: A 15-year-old Icelandic girl has been granted the right to legally use the name given to her by her mother, despite the opposition of authorities. A court ruled Thursday that the name "Blaer" can be used. Until now, Blaer Bjarkardottir had been officially identified simply as "Girl." Like a handful of other countries, including Germany and Denmark, Iceland has official rules about what a baby can be named.
7 Stalingrad is back: The southern Russian city where the Red Army decisively turned back Nazi forces in a key World War II battle will once again be known as Stalingrad, at least on the days commemorating the victory, the regional legislature declared Thursday. The city was renamed Volgograd in 1961 as part of the Soviet Union's rejection of dictator Joseph Stalin's personality cult. But the name Stalingrad is inseparable with the historic battle, which was among the bloodiest in history with combined losses of nearly 2 million people. Regional lawmakers' decision to use the historic name has angered many in Russia where Stalin's name and legacy continues to cause fiery disputes.

In June, I offered one young female journalist $100 to write a guest post on this blog. Last month, I offered one young male journalist $100 to write a guest post on this blog. Today, Alan Blinder, 21, shares his story of the tornado that changed everything.
My college career did not end when I turned in a final exam.
It ended as I stood in the seventh-floor waiting room of a hospital, viewing the destruction an EF-4 tornado had wrought on Tuscaloosa less than 24 hours earlier.
My BlackBerry vibrated with an email from the University of Alabama, one of the few times my cell phone worked that day. Officials had canceled final exams and postponed commencement. The academic year was over, and so was my college career.
Since my arrival in Tuscaloosa in the autumn of 2008, Alabama had won a national football championship and I had suffered overdoses of the three major food groups: fried chicken, fried okra and sweet tea. Now, I had survived one of the most unforgiving tornado outbreaks in U.S. history.
At 5:13 p.m. on a Wednesday afternoon, a monstrous twister had torn out of the sky and cut a deep scar through the heart of the city. By the less than a mile, the storm spared the university's campus and the local hospital. By a fraction of a mile more, the storm spared me.
I had hunkered down in the basement stairwell of my apartment building with some of my best friends. We had been through this before: Only 12 days earlier, a smaller tornado had hit south of town.

Condoms an important form of protection from HIV
25 March 2009 -- Do condoms help in the prevention of HIV/AIDS transmission? We find out in this episode.
Transcript of the podcast
Veronica Riemer: You're listening to the WHO podcast, and my name is Veronica Riemer. In this episode, we ask: do condoms help in the prevention of HIV/AIDS transmission?
In a remote village in Malawi, community volunteers discuss HIV/AIDS transmission and its prevention. At the end of 2007, there were about 33 million people living with HIV/AIDS: 2.7 million people were estimated to have acquired the HIV infection that year. Although the epidemic has stabilized, it remains a leading challenge for global health.
Condoms are one of the main forms of protection from sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV/AIDS. Dr Kevin De Cock from WHO's HIV/AIDS department tells us why it is vital to promote their use.
Dr Kevin De Cock: The evidence around use of male condoms to prevent HIV transmission is that latex condoms if used consistently and correctly are highly effective in preventing the transmission of HIV. They are not the only important prevention strategy but they are an important component of comprehensive prevention efforts worldwide in association with other interventions. Importantly, there is no scientific evidence that promoting the correct and consistent use of condoms has led to alterations in sexual behaviour or increased risk taking.
Veronica Riemer: Studies have shown that using condom is effective in controlling HIV transmission.
Dr Kevin De Cock: The best information on the effectiveness of condoms comes from looking at large numbers of couples where one person is infected and the other is not, and following those over time and comparing the rates of transmission of infection in those groups. Comparing high condom users and people who did not use condoms. Such studies suggest that condoms are at least 80%, and possibly more, effective in reducing the transmission of HIV for co-habiting couples.
Veronica Riemer: One of the main reasons for the rapid spread of HIV in Asia is the high transmission rate among sex workers and their clients. In the 1980s, the Thai government introduced a programme to promote the practice of ''No condom – No sex''. This meant that sex workers were able to refuse unprotected sex. The result was a major reduction not only in HIV transmission, but also in other sexually transmitted infections. Dr Wiwat, currently working as the WHO Representative in Mongolia, was in Thailand at the time. He explains the results of the programme.
Dr Wiwat: When the programme started in 1989 in one province, it was a surprise that the sex worker who usually had a very high level of sexually transmitted infection (STI), the STI became almost zero. So it was very effective. Because of that effectiveness, the government scaled up the programme to become nationwide in 1991. and it was very clear that sexually transmitted infections, which is a very good indicator for HIV, it was clear that STIs dropped more than 95%, and subsequently HIV decline was also observed. The Prime Minister of Thailand Thaksin Shinawatra reported to one international conference that this programme had prevented more than 5 million HIV infections in Thailand from 1991 up to 2003.
Veronica Riemer: Although condoms play an important part in HIV/AIDS prevention, there are other approaches. Dr Kevin De Cock tells us more.
Dr Kevin De Cock: Condoms are an important component of a comprehensive prevention programme but only one component of what today we refer to as combination prevention. And, I think other factors that are important are reducing numbers of sex partners, abstinence is an important strategy for certain age groups, and for those who choose it, some choose that method of protection.
But there are additional prevention approaches: testing and counselling so that one knows one's HIV status and that of one's regular sex partner. The control of other sexually transmitted infections, particularly in high risk groups such as sex workers and men who have sex with men, is important. In heterosexual epidemics, male circumcision protects against the acquisition of HIV in men in those who are circumcised.
Veronica Riemer: Among the other prevention methods are a number of new technologies that are coming along.
Dr Kevin De Cock: Microbicides are compounds used by women, applied in the vagina, usually prior to sex and such products are now being studied and actually the first successful result has just been achieved. And then antiretroviral drugs themselves have preventive benefit, either in HIV infected people taking the drugs, lowering the amount of virus so that they become less infectious themselves or use of drugs by HIV negative people taking it before they are exposed to HIV.
Veronica Riemer: Use of antiretroviral drugs and microbicides for prevention of HIV is now being studied, so they are not yet recommended by WHO. But these are emerging areas to watch.

Adapted from a recent online discussion.
Is his list of goals more important than marriage?
Q: My boyfriend and I are both in our late 20s and have been together for three years. I'm ready to marry him, not in a particular rush, just ready to move forward. He has a list of about five goals he wants to meet before getting married. As I see it, that could take years.
I know that waiting a reasonable amount of time is necessary and the right thing to do. At what point does it become wasting my time?
Wasting vs. Biding Time
Carolyn: How does marriage stand in the way of his goals? Also, how hard is he currently working toward those goals? Are they realistic and clearly defined?
It's hard to answer completely without knowing these things, but I do suspect that if spending his life with you were a goal he valued, then that would supersede any arbitrary deals he made with himself.
Wasting vs. Biding Time, again: He would like to spend at least a year living in the city of his dreams (we have plans to move there in a few months), hold a certain job title and a higher salary, do some traveling on his own, etc.
It's not that he couldn't do these things with a wife, it's just that I think he envisioned extending his "single" life a bit longer. Also he believes our age is too young for anyone to get married, regardless of how long they've been together.
Carolyn: Hm. Is it even possible for him to be a single guy in a way that satisfies him?
Seems to me that one of the paths you need to discuss is breaking up so he can get out of his system whatever he feels he needs to. Live your life, and let him decide when he's sufficiently ripe. You can see how you feel about each other then.
Anonymous: She needs to figure out if she cares more about being married than about spending her life with this man. Way too many people focus on getting married without understanding what that really means. If being married means more than being with this man, then she should get the bridezilla train out and let the guy down easy.
Carolyn: Yeah, but this goes two ways. If the other person is postponing the decision about making a life commitment, and is hiding behind the "five goals" — and even minimizing his girlfriend's concern about commitment by scoffing at the "bridezilla train" — then who's the one who doesn't understand what it "really means"?
It would be useful to know how open both of them are being about the future. People who want to be together will find ways to be together, through marriage or some other means.
Likewise, people who are comfortable with the status quo but want to leave their options open will find ways to avoid committing — which is fine if they're honest about it. In my unscientific experience, that's quite rare.
Meanwhile, people who feel the pull of marriage would be well served to second-guess it, and ask themselves: "If I couldn't have the party and the 'wife' or 'husband' label and the societal imprimatur to have kids, would I still want the person? For life?"

TAKING nearly 40 shots without hitting the back of the net won't happen to any other club this season, according to Dons boss Karl Robinson as he reflected on his side's 0-0 draw with Cambridge City.
Dons fired in 37 attempts – 19 of which were on target – on Zac Barrett's goal in their FA Cup first round draw on Friday night, but they didn't manage to score and now face a frustrating replay at stadium:mk on Tuesday night.
Robinson said no other team will be able to dominate a game as much as Dons did without being able to hammer home their advantage.
"That will never happen again," he said. "No other team will have that many shots and not get a goal. I don't think we could have done any more.
"I watched a match recently which had seven shots on target, and it ended 3-3. When we have 19 on target and not one goes in, the ratio shows you just how unlucky we were.
"Normally, when you have 19 shots on target, you get a lucky one that goes in. We're not even getting one! It was comical."
Barrett, along with centre backs Dave Theobald and Lee Chaffey, threw everything they had in front of Dons as they bombarded the home goal. And for Robinson, their fantastic performances epitomised the spirit of the FA Cup, but he added that missing four key players in the attacking third of the pitch hardly helped their chances of booking a place in the second round at the first attempt.
He said: "The goalkeeper and the centre halves had the games of their lives. He (Barrett) must have raised his game 100 per cent! But that's the FA Cup and the uniqueness of the best competition in the world.
"We had 37 shots and 19 on target. When you get that many, it's an incredible stat. It's a step in the right direction. When you consider there was no MacDonald, Powell, Bowditch, Balanta – that's a big loss at the top end of the pitch.
"It's important to still be in the competition. It was just an unbelievable game, and tremendous credit must go to Cambridge City. They put their bodies on the line and the effect their keeper had on the game was remarkable. It is what it is."

"The Amethyst Tower by far was my favorite. I had goose bumps pretty much during the whole story. Prince is expected to find Rapunzel and save her. His dreams are starting to take a toll and time is running out before he dies, only to be born again, and start the search for her over again. Poor Rapunzel she is locked away in her tower with no choices and the nasty father of her gave me the creeps. Once again, I have to give Ms. Wiesner props for such a wonderful and scary story. She has re-written Rupunzel and has done it beautifully. I also loved this story because Prince was the son of Gabe and Amethyst and had such a special yet horrible life. And just wait... More > till you read the last page. It was the best in the whole book. WOODCUTTER'S GRIM SERIES, Volume I by Karen Wiesner is a spooky read that will have you re-thinking classic fairy tales like Hansel and Gretel, Rumpelstiltskin, The Pied Piper of Hamelin, and Rapunzel. I was instantly sucked into this book from page one and spent my whole afternoon engrossed in these scary tales. I would like to applaud Mrs. Wiesner for her graphic imagination that had her intertwine romance and horror around every corner. One minute I was smiling because there was a bit of romance, then the next I was scared and had goose bumps! I hope she continues to write these types of stories because I would love to get my hands on another one of these books. I will recommend this book to everyone that I can." ~Dark Angel Reviews https://www.darkangelreviews.com/Woodcutter_s_Grim.html< Less

I CAN'T BELIEVE that Richmond County Animal Control would allow an inmate to work with animals. I have two boxers, and they are just precious. I can't believe this is happening in Richmond County. You people just don't care what happens to the animals.
THIS IS A RANT for the Richmond County school system. One of the problems as a parent is when you go into the office, you are treated with such hostility. They act like you have no business being there. You stand there, and they ignore you. There are some dedicated teachers in Richmond County, but I do believe that Superintendent Charles Larke needs to talk to his staff to let them know not to put parents on the defense.
THIS IS A RANT in response to the caller last week or a few papers ago who mentioned teachers' salaries in comparison to other Georgians' salaries. You mention teachers' salaries being higher than Georgia's average salary. My question is: Do we really want teachers to only be paid a little bit above the state average, or do we want to pay them exemplary wages and attract exemplary professionals to teach children?
THANK YOU, MR. BUSH, for the child care credit check. I can finally get my motorcycle out of the shop. My co-workers are always whining because their kids are grown. And they're the ones that really have to pay the taxes such as school taxes and are penalized for being married. I told her to just get a life.
JUST A RANT about what WBBQ is doing. Rebecca and John were the main reason I listened in the morning. If they think their ratings were bad before, just wait until people realize John and Rebecca are gone. John and Rebecca made my morning drive less stressful. Thanks a lot.

and just this weekend, TWO magazines have featured articles about Sue and her "Sibolettes"! I have only made a small number of squares but she has used them in her blankets. That is the amazing thing, she treats my little stash of squares with as much respect as when she receives a whole box full of them. This makes me so happy I can't believe it!
Everyone should have a nutty Aunt who makes them t-shirts! The year that I made this one, I also made a tiny little Lego cake which went down a treat! (See, it's not perfect, but it was fun to make it and my nephew seemed to like it.)
When I ever make anything in the kitchen that turns out even looking halfway decent, I always try to take a photo of it. More than anything, it has been to remind me that it is possible for me to cook or bake!
If I see any nice art or photographs of fruit or flowers, I cut them out and just kind of gently wedge them into my kitchen cabinets...I would much rather look at this rather than plain wood. You spend so much time in the kitchen, might as well look at something you like. You see, I am an artist trapped inside a working woman's body!
What do you do that you are "in the moment" and time just flies by and you are amazed that you have spent so much enjoyable time that time itself seems suspended as if you are in a science fiction movie?
It's a wonderful place to be and I wish this for all who read this today! Enjoy your life and do what gives you joy.

Sample Sentences & Example Usage
One watches them on the seashore, all the people, and there is something pathetic, almost wistful in them, as if they wished their lives did not add up to this scaly nullity of possession, but as if they could not escape. It is a dragon that has devoured us all: these obscene, scaly houses, this insatiable struggle and desire to possess, to possess always and in spite of everything, this need to be an owner, lest one be owned. It is too hideous and nauseating. Owners and owned, they are like the two sides of a ghastly disease. One feels a sort of madness come over one, as if the world had become hell. But it is only superimposed: it is only a temporary disease. It can be cleaned away.

Most home mechanics know that few things extend component life more than routine maintenance. The average Mercedes-Benz owner is diligent on engine oil, but even hands-on SLK owners are less enthusiastic about changing axle oil. Gear oil is thick and stinks. Many differentials likely bathe too long in old lube because changing it isn't glamorous, and possibly due to the "lifetime lubricant" myth circulating around the time the R170s were manufactured.
Unlike some other fluids in the car, differential oil isn't filtered. As metal parts wear, particles circulate through the oil. So even if the oil itself hasn't lost lubricity, it should be changed to clean out shavings and debris.
MB didn't publish a recommended service interval for the R170's differential oil in the owner's manual. A general rule of thumb is that gear oil can remain good for about 80,000 miles, but proactive owners might want to use 50,000 for an easy-to-remember threshold.
Gear whine can indicate low differential oil level (look for spots on the ground under the axle). Changing the oil sometimes solves the problem. If not, bearings could be the cause of the sound.
Oil specs and recommendations are also a topic for a separate article. The MB owner's manual recommends 85W90 hypoid gear oil for the R170 SLK. Enthusiasts generally prefer synthetic oil, which tends to outlast mineral oil.
Basically, changing axle oil is the potentially messy job that someone has to do. It isn't difficult, but a non-standard tool is required to remove the plugs.
Tips: Plan ahead: The car's drain and fill plugs have internal 14mm hex heads. Most standard hex/Allen sets don't go this big. Pelican Parts has the tool for the job so consider ordering it along with the gear oil. Raising the car rear on jack stands or ramps makes access much easier just make sure the car is level so the fluid level is correct. Ideally, spray the plugs with penetrating lubricant ahead of time. Always start with the fill plug: it's the higher one, on the left of the differential housing toward its front. We attempted to use a 14mm-headed bolt and locking pliers while waiting for the 14mm bit to arrive. Our bolt wasn't hardened and snapped. Torque spec for both plugs is 41 ft-lb / 55 Nm. For some reason, the fill plugs tend to freeze in place. We had to use a 1/2-inch-drive breaker bar to jar our project car's plug free. The warmer the oil, the better it will evacuate out the drain plug. Plan on the oil stream going somewhere other than in the capture pan when it initially starts to drain One-quart bottles with the witch's hat spouts can be maneuvered above the axle and poured into the fill plug. The bottle can be raised so that most of its oil pours into the differential. A better fill method: use an affordable hand pump that screws onto the oil bottle. If using a hand pump, stroke slowly so that the oil doesn't splash out and give a false-full signal. Add oil until it weeps out the fill hole. Published differential capacity is 1.4 US quarts/1.3 liters.
Even after spraying penetrating lubricant on the plugs, we had to use a breaker bar on the fill plug. Luckily, we bought a 14mm 1/2-inch-drive hex bit.. Removing the fill plug first releases pressure and won't leave you stranded if the drain plug comes out but the fill plug refuses to.
The drain plug is on the right side at the rear of the differential. It also takes a 14mm hex wrench or bit.
Capture the old oil in a container that holds at least two quarts. Put cardboard or something similar under the pan if you want to protect the ground from drips and sloshes. Dispose of the old oil in accordance with the regulations in your area. Most oil change shops will take your old oil..
Quart bottles with conical spouts can be used to fill the differential. They won't fit vertically enough to totally empty though.
A hand pump is an inexpensive (available at Pelican parts for aound $10) and cleaner way to fill the diff.
The job requires a male 14mm hex bit, wrench, or bolt to remove the plugs. We used a 1/2-inch drive setup. You'll also need a drain pan and, ideally, a torque wrench. Discretionary items include penetrating spray, a breaker bar, and a hand pump for filling the differential with gear oil.

The Clinton Briggs Ripley Homestead in lower Nu'uanu has four houses designed in different yet compatible styles, which share a large, sloping yard shaded by mature trees and are connected by concrete stepping stones. The family compound is significant for its architecture and for its association with Clinton Briggs Ripley, a notable architect in Hawaii who designed all the houses. Because Ripley was one of the earliest architects in Hawaii, there is little remaining of his work, making this compound a very rare and significant example of his work. Ripley built and resided in House #52, which he designed in 1895 in the Italianate style. He then designed and built the other three homes for his daughters between 1919-1921. Two homes, #54 & #56, are designed in the Craftsman Bungalow style, and the third #58, and most elaborate, in the Neoclassical style. A carriage house/maid's quarters was constructed to the north west of House #58. Although each house is built in a style that was popular in America at its time, the use of lanais, wide overhangs and large windows show a consciousness of Hawaii's climate. The family has remained continuously on this property for the last 100 years.

Born Confused fanfiction.
Before I knew fanfiction existed, I have pretty much always done it- but just in my head. I never wrote it, because I didn't know that there were people out there who would want to read it, who would even get what I was doing, and who did the same thing.
But yeah- this is an unwritten part of the story that might complete things. It doesn't challenge what's going on in the book at all. It's just one of the backstories.
If you haven't read Born Confused, don't even attempt to read this little fic. (If you haven't read Born Confused, READ THE BOOK.)
TITLE: Henna
SETTING: About a year before Born Confused; Manhattan
SYNOPSIS: Kavita just arrived at NYU and finds she has no place to stay- Sabina comes to her rescue.
PAIRINGS: Um, Kavita/Sabina.
RATING: Let's try PG for slashy themes and angst.
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing of the book. Sometimes I feel like I AM one or more of the characters in the book- but sadly I don't own any of them.
It was a little scary, being in a foreign country for college. Of course, she knew the language and understood the culture (or thought she did, remembering everything her little cowgirl cousin had told her about America)- but still, Kavita felt painfully self-conscious. She was very aware of her Gujarati accent and her slight tendency to screw up grammar as she made inquiries about housing and classes and buying books. They were used to accents at NYU- but she couldn't help feeling a bit uncomfortable as she asked the girl behind the counter about her dorm assignment.
"Kavita Patel?" asked the blonde woman, surprisingly pronouncing her name correctly, shuffling through some papers. She looked up apologetically. "Well, I guess the reason you didn't get your room assignment in the mail is that- we don't have a room for you."
"Excuse me?" said Kavita, suddenly panicking. No place to stay. Great.
"I'm sorry. There was some mistake in housing. They thought you were a rising senior." The woman started putting papers away, and then she saw Kavita's expression. "I'm really sorry," she repeated. "There are no rooms available. All I can suggest is trying to find an apartment around here. Do you know anyone?" Kavita shook her head. "Well I'm sure there's somebody in the same boat as you." The woman signalled for the next customer. Kavita shrugged and walked away, hoping she would be able to find a place to stay within a few hours. If nothing else, she would have to sleep on a bench outside. Or the library- that was probably safer. She decided to start trying to find an apartment at the library.
Kavita was sitting at the computer and Googlesearching apartments without much success. She had just started resigning herself to the idea of sleeping under the tables in the library and using the gym showers for the entire semester, when she glanced out the door of the computer lab and saw a vision.
A girl was walking in the hallway. She had blue-black hair sticking up erratically like static electricity. It looked appropriate, though- the girl was electricity personified. Her bronze skin glowed defiantly. She was very thin, but somehow didn't look anorexic- she was too confident in her walk, in her menswear cargos and skintight black shirt with the words "See Me For Who I Am" Tulip-painted across it. Kavita found herself dizzily staring at the words- but then caught herself and moved on to the wise, defiant face, the exquisite lips, the reclangular glasses, the eyes.
She was intense. There was no other word for her. All around her, people in the crowded hallway edged slightly away to give her space, awed and intimidated by the intensity emanating from her. Kavita found herself feeling involuntarily jealous of the people in the hallway, next to her. As she came closer, Kavita noticed a sociology textbook in her narrow intricately henna-ed hands. Definitely Indian. The henna crept all the way up to her toned biceps. Her spandex T-shirt rippled deliciously with evidence of defined abs- again, Kavita had to stop herself staring. There was no makeup on her face, except for a thin line of kajal on each eye. She was wearing the Jain Universe on a gold necklace. Chain. Jain Chain. Bangles and pride bracelets huddled together on her wrists. Her nails were short, with silver paint chipping off. Those brilliant kohl-darkened eyes were burning right into Kavita as she entered the library. Kavita held her breath as The GIrl approached.
"Looking for an apartment?" SHe had swung herself into a rolling chair and wheeled over, right next to Kavita.
"Yes, actually," said Kavita. Once again she was painfully aware of her accent. This girl sounded completely American. Probably an ABCD. Or just an ABD. "I was supposed to have a dorm room but the housing office made a mistake."
"Tough," she said sympathetically. "I'm Sabina, by the way. What's your name?" Sabina held out her hand.
"K-Kavita," said Kavita, hesitantly shaking Sabina's hand. "Patel." Kavita was surprised to note that Sabina's handshake wasn't strong and confident as she expected- it was hesitant, uncertain, like Kavita's.
In reality, Sabina was nowhere near as confident as she appeared when she approached Kavita. Ordinarily, she was extremely self-confident, defiant, argumentative, unbelievably arrogant and stubborn- most people at her high school had thought of her as "the bitch." People were usually intimidated by her intelligence and wit, and even more so by her uber-liberal ideas and the confrontational way she made a banner of her deviance. But in the presence of this dusky goddess, something within her softened. She maintained her confident exterior, but inside, she was a big blob of jelly. She had even considered doing what she would have doen three years ago- turn away, run and hide, spend the semester surreptitiously watching and longing for this vision of beauty, bookmarking her Facebook if she had one, memorizing her schedule. Uncharacteristically, she wasn't even sure what to do next- she could have spent forever just sitting there, looking into those lotus-petal eyes, drowning in the cascade of raven waves framing the perfect dusky complexion of the most beautiful face she had ever seen. The eyes staring back into hers were just as uncertain as her own, and something about the posture of the rich, womanly body in the kurti and jeans revealed a soft vulnerability.
"Well, I was wondering... I mean, I have an apartment, and uh... if you wanted, you could, well... you could live with me." Shit. Now Kavita would think she was an absolute freak.
"Wow. Thanks!" said Kavita. Then her brow furrowed. "But why don't you have a dorm? You're a freshman too, isn't it?"
"Well, yeah," said Sabina, scratching the back of her neck, "but the dorms here really suck. My parents said I should just get an apartment and live there all four years." Kavita nodded. "Here. Let me help you with your stuff." Sabina effortlessly toted Kavita's huge duffel and started for the exit. Kavita hurriedly grabbed her bookbag and small bags and followed. She had to practically jog to keep up with Sabz's powerwalk. Sabz. Hmm. That suited her far better than just Sabina. Kavita wondered if she would mind if she called her Sabz.
As they walked the seven blocks, Kavita wondered how it would be, living with Sabz. She hadn't known her for more than five minutes, and yet she was going to her apartment. Remembering what Dimple had told her about New York, Kavita realized the possibility that Sabz was just going to beat her up, take all her stuff and leave her bruised on the street. Well, she wouldn't mind being beat up by Sabz so much.... What was she thinking? There was a laptop in the bag Sabz was carrying. Kavita's mind wandered. She wondered what made Sabz make this offer right when she needed it. Maybe Sabz was lonely and wanted to live with her like a sister. But one didn't think things like this about one's sister. Kavita wondered how she would feel if she came home to the apartment to find Sabz with a boy. How would she stand it? Kavita started to feel like maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all.
As Sabz led the way, her mind wandered too. She couldn't believe her luck- Kavita had actually said yes. But Kavita was so innocent. Sabz's luck had never been that great. Kavita was probably desperate for any apartment and would have taken anything. Sabz suddenly remembered something that had happened about two years before, when she was still uncertain about many things- at a friend's sleepover party, when they were doing "makeovers" and Sabz had been henna-ing everybody up, and she had been doing lotus flowers on a friend's neck, she had wondered what it would be like to kiss a girl on the lips. So she had done it- and the girl had angrily pushed her off and called her a "low-minded opportunist." Sabz wondered if she was being a low-minded opportunist now. Maybe Kavita just wanted to live with her like sisters. Sabz thought of the timidity with which Kavs had shaken her hand. Kavs. Hmm. But maybe she was just a timid, nervous person in general. She wondered how it would be if she were to come home to the apartment and find Kavs with a boy. Sabz would probably tear the boy to shreds. She started to feel like this maybe wasn't such a good idea after all.
Finally, they reached the apartment. Kavs wondered if Sabz thought it odd that they had walked the entire way in silence, instead of trying to get to know each other better before they were to be 'room partners'- but Sabz didn't seem to mind. They went up the elevator several floors, hearing the arguing of couples even through the thick steel elevator walls. Kavita shuddered. But her feeling of foreboding evaporated once they were inside the apartment.
The apartment was tiny. But there were two well-stocked bookshelves, with classics, Indian stuff (written in Hindi, Gujarati and even Sanskrit), and lots of feminist literature. Kavita suddenly remembered the pride bracelets, and allowed herself the hope that maybe they were not to be sisters after all. The white walls had Rajastani mirrorworked tapestries. All of the furniture, including the sofabed and the air-chairs, was deep red, as were the curtains. There was a small TV with seasons of Seinfeld stacked on top, and a large stero with piles of obviously burned CDs. There was a tiny mandir in the kitchenette, loaded with Ganeshes. There was only one bedroom. Loud posters, obnoxious bumper stickers, Ansel Adams prints and random computer printouts lined every inch of wall space. The tiny closet was full of edgy clothing and body art supplies. Candles were everywhere. There was a red genie lamp, two lava lamps and a red satiny queen-size bed.
"It's perfect," said Kavs- Sabz blushed with pleasure. She had decorated it herself. "But the thing is- there's onyl one bedroom. I don't know how- this will work."
Great, Sabz thought. She did just want to be sisters. "Well, if you really want to, you can take the sofabed, but I wouldn't recommend it," she said.
"You wouldn't?" asked Kavs. Fire danced in her eyes. Maybe this WILL work, she thought.
"Nah," said Sabz. "But I guess we can work out details later. You've had a hard day. What do you say to a little henna?" Wow, thought Sabz. I really AM a low-minded opportunist. But Kavita didn't seem to mind.
"I'd love some!" she said eagerly. "Are you good?"
"Decentish," said Sabz, getting out the supplies. She set them all up, turned own the lights, and lit the sandalwood-scented candles. Kavs lay down on the living room floor and Sabz immediately went to work, starting with the palms of her hands. Her usually steady hands were trembling. She and Kavita talked while she worked. Kavita's eyes were closed in complete relaxation, total surrender. Kavita told her all about her family in India, about her Dadaji passing away, the pressure on her sister Sangita to get married and be a good girl, her American photographer cowgirl cousin Dimple in nearby Joysey. Sabz told her about her own family, her high school, her interest in getting back in touch with her roots, her feminist ideas. In the course of the hennaing, their life stories came out, except for certain details surrounding a certain fact about both of them- Kavita didn't mention how as a child she had had a huge crush on Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai, and Sabz didn't mention any of the sleepover parties. Sabina worked in a daze, making swirls and lotus flowers and Oms. When she paused for a moment, she realized that she had henna-ed Kav's entire arms, whole back, and most of her legs- and that Kavita had pulled up her jeans to mid-thigh and shed her kurti and was wearing only a tank top. Kavita had also been in a daze, and she too realized, at about the same moment as Sabz, that she was half-naked. Both girls suddenly felt shy.
Kavita spoke first. She was afraid that Sabz would guess what she had been thinking the whole time- and that she would change her mind about wanting to live with such a freak who thought things like that. She decided to put Sabz at ease. "You know, I am so glad to have found a friend and a sister in you," she said.
Sabz deflated like a tired old balloon. "Sister?" Kavs looked at her- she looked so disappointed, so sad- and like she was beating herself up inside.
"Well, that is- you can be my sister- if you want to be," said Kavita haltingly. She wished there was a way of communicating her thoughts without risking anything- or reading Sabz's mind. "Or, if you want to be- something else- that's great too."
"Madhuri Dixit," said Sabz to herself, thinking of the curly-haired legendary Bollywood goddess with the million-dollar smile.
"Heh?" said Kavs, extremely confused.
"That's who you look like," said Sabz. "I was trying to remember who it was you reminded me of. You look just like her."
Kavita blushed as she looked up at Sabz. She was still lying on the floor. And suddenly, Sabz didn't feel like such a low-minded opportunist anymore. She leaned over. Kavs closed her eyes in absolute rapture. The heady, intoxicating scent of the mehindi and the candles swirled around the two of them, surrounded them, pressed their lips together.
And the rest, they say, is history.

Send data over TCP/IP to specified remote machine
Instrument Control Toolbox
The TCP/IP Send block sends data from your model to remote machines using the TCP/IP protocol. This data is sent at the end of the simulation or at fixed intervals during a simulation.
You need a license for both the Instrument Control Toolbox™ and Simulink® software to use this block.
The TCP/IP Send block has one input port. The size of the input port is dynamic, and is inherited from the driving block. This block has no output ports.
Specify the IP address, name, or the Web server address of the machine to which you need to send data. This field is empty by default.
Specify the remote port on the host you need to send the data
to. The default port value is
80. Valid port values
1 to
Click this button to:
Check if the specified remote address is correct.
Establish connection with the specified remote address and port.
When using binary or binblock format with more than 8 bits,
you can specify the instrument's byte order for the data. Your options
Big Endian or
Little Endian.
Specify if you want to block the simulation while sending data. This option is selected by default. Clear this check box if you do not want the write operation to block the simulation.
The following diagrams show the difference between sending data using blocking mode and nonblocking mode.
Blocking Mode
In this example, you start the simulation at time (t=0). At time step (T1), data output is initiated and simulation stops until the block of data (B1) is sent to the specified remote address and port. After the data is sent, simulation resumes until time step (T2), where the block initiates another data output and simulation is blocked until the block of data (B2) is sent to the remote address and port, and the simulation resumes.
Nonblocking Mode – Scenario 1
In this scenario, the data output outpaces the simulation speed. Data output is initiated at the first time step (T1) and the corresponding block of data (B1) is sent to the specified remote address asynchronously. The simulation runs continuously in this mode.
Nonblocking Mode – Scenario 2
In this scenario, the simulation speed outpaces the data acquisition.
At time step T1: The block of data (B1) is sent to the specified remote address and port asynchronously.
At time step T2: The simulation is blocked until the block of data (B1) is sent completely. When B1 is completely sent, the new block of data (B2) is sent asynchronously, and the simulation resumes.
Several factors, including network connectivity and model complexity, can affect the simulation speed. This can cause both nonblocking scenarios to occur within the same simulation.
Specify the amount of time that the model will wait when data
is sent during each simulation time step. The default value is
10 (seconds).
This field is unavailable if you have not enabled blocking mode.

pregnant and sick?
Have a runny nose , soar throat, sneezing, teary eyes, cold like feeling in chest , urge to cough, feeling like my heads going to explode, you know the usual. Is it affecting my baby? and what can i do? any home rememdies or anything not really wanting to use medicine concidering it never works anyway
it's not affecting your baby, just keep hydrated.
COLDS: Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and, clear the sinuses, and it's delicious too!
although nasty but i have to agree, try garlic tea (maybe add lemon) boosts ur immune system. my friends swear by it, ive used it a couple times myself and it worked. feel better.
it wont hurt baby at all. you share antibodies. just get lots of sleep, stay hydrated, and feel better
I agree with the above, rest and hydrate! Try some tea, I stayed sick the whole first trimester and drank more tea than I have in my life. Feel better soon!
thanks to the last two posts :) im restin lots uggg i can tell shes feelin fine she preforming a circus in there lol
I've been sick twice during this pregnancy. The first was really bad during the first trimester so they couln't give me anything. It was a very long two weeks. the second was very mild but still horrible. It sounds like you could be having allergies though which can sometimes mimic cold symptoms. I know you don't want to take meds but some are usually approved for allergies. You could try a neti pot or something like it and just warm or cold liquids for your throat. Mlth you will just have to wait it out. It sucks.
sorry to hear that, hope it worked out for you, congrats by the way ill try some allowed allergy stuff and i dont really like tea but im gonna try the garlic tea with the honey and cinnamon remedy thanks for every1s help
I ended up going to the Dr and was given a zpak because of my sinus trouble. It helped a ton!

A little mid-day tea wisdom.
Love when the crocuses start popping up!
Basketball season has wrapped up for this guy!

Wet burritos another night!
More spring colors arriving…
The hubby and I went to the coast last weekend for both a belated Valentine's Day celebration and a one night gig Craig played music for. I had missed the ocean…
As soon as we rolled into town we got fish and chips, a fresh salmon sandwich, and clam chowder.
Watching this guy and about 12 other seals play in the surf early one morning!
While my husband napped one on our second day at the coast, I walked to the nearby creamery. On top of buying a lot of cheese, I also got this cranberry cheesecake ice cream. The checkout clerk suggested I get child-size because they were "super generous with portions" — SO. I did. And it was obviously served up for the largest child ever!
Heading home from the coast!
Some of the oddest fish tacos ever. Leftover smoked sturgeon, two different smoked salmons, blackened petrale sole, sautéed petrale sole. Honey lime slaw and homemade tortillas. Oddly delicious.
Coming storm.
Face swap terror with Silas.
This fish sammich, with blackened sole, because it's what looked freshest.
Vincent is Oberon in Ashland High School's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, which just opened this past week!
Sometimes when a girl is home by herself, she wants french toast for lunch. So…she has french toast for lunch.
Vegetarian 'bacon' chik'n ranch pizza. With homemade ranch.
Mr. Chicken (who also got to go to the coast!).
A late dinner after a workout that went longer than anticipated… Vegetarian BLTs with Tofurky. (Delicious, by the way!)
Snack-lunch! Maple cream-top yogurt, maple granola with almonds and hazelnuts, fresh nectarine.
I hope the last couple weeks have been lovely for you! : )

Halloween Witches Abode Party {Free Printable}
It's Halloween Night and the nasty Witch 'Wicked Wendy' has flown in on her broomstick and kicked off her shoes for a quick refreshment between scary jobs!
What on earth do witches eat and drink? I hear you ask, well Pumpkin Scones with Blackberry Jam & Chantilly Cream of course! Washed down with some fresh Pumpkin Juice.
For snacks Wicked Wendy Witch and her friends are feasting on Human Eyeballs, Vampire Teeth, Bat Droppings and Dragon's Tongues! Yum!
…And of course, her book of spells and wicked potions are never far away!
We created Wicked Wendy's broom using Bamboo Sticks and a dried palm berry stem for the bristles.
These elements tied together with some string, and you have your very own rustic witches broom.
For the Pumpkin Scones, after preheating our oven to 180deg C, we combined 30g of softened Butter with 1/4 cup of Caster Sugar, until creamy.
Then we finely chopped 1 cup of pumpkin and put it in the microwave for 4 minutes. While it was hot, we mashed the pumpkin until smooth, and added it to the butter mixture.
Then, we beat in an egg. While those ingredients were mixing together, in a separate bowl, we sifted together 2 1/2 cups of Self Raising Flour, 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg.
We folded the dry mixture into the wet mixture, alternating with splashes from 1/2 cup of milk.
When the mixture came together in a dough-like form, we turned it out on a floured surface, and kneaded it for about 2-3 minutes. Then we patted out a circle approx. 2cm thick.
We used a champagne glass to cut out the circles (why not?!) and placed them altogether on a greased baking tray.
15 minutes in a hot oven later and we had delicious freshly baked pumpkin scones ~ good enough for any evil witch and her friends!
Served warm with some Blackberry Jam & Chantilly Cream…perfectly wicked!
