Walking past History - Ballet landmarks in NYC?
Posted 28 October 2002 - 01:28 PM
Also having a map would make it easier for non-new yorkers to understand the discussion
By the way (sorry if it's getting a bit off-topic) I think it might be a bit interesting (even if somewhat morbid) to have some list of ballet-related cemeteries... A few years ago, the French magazine "Danser" had made an article with photographs of the graves of many ballet people buried in or near Paris. Are there some famous graves of ballet people in NYC? For example, is Balanchine's tomb there?
Perhaps we could even start an "online ballet graveyard" with scanned photos of tombs or urns... The only one I can offer is that of Isadora Duncan's urn at the Pere Lachaise (last spring my husband's friends organized a weird "bachelor's day" (like a bachelor party) for him which started near the urn of Georges Perec at the Pere Lachaise, and since he noticed Isadora Duncan's name not very far he took a photo of it).

The old Met was at 39th and Broadway, and was beloved as the Yellow Brick Brewery by us old denizens. That's what it looked like! The studios at the Met were used by various and sundry renters, and there were also offices where the likes of Robert Benchley and Dorothy Parker used to have their mailing addresses. Benchley said of his office with Parker, that "one less cubic inch of space would have constituted adultery"! Legend has it that they spent the first couple of weeks in the office being witty at one another, then realized they were driving one another crazy, so Benchley repainted their door - to read "MEN". They soon had many visitors! The building management objected to this practice and they were ordered to repaint the door - so Benchley renamed the office "Utica Drop Forge and Die Corp."

And of course, the Joffrey School is still at 434 6th Ave. at the corner of 10th St. The uppermost stories, which were the company's country, are no longer used by the school.

Ko-Ko: He's gone abroad!
Mikado: Gone abroad? His address!
Ko-Ko: The Martin Beck!
Martyn Greene, the Ko-Ko in that exchange positively identifies the theater being played by the Savoy company as the Adelphi, and notes that the Adelphi is now (1962) the 54th St. Theater.

I knew he'd lived on East 19th, but no one in the neighborhood seemed to know where and I only discovered it by accident a few months later while on vacation in Massachusets. I'd made arrangements to see few pieces at Harvard's Fogg Museum that weren't then out in the galleries, and one was an Elie Nadelman sculpture. After we viewed them, the curator asked if we'd like to see the papers pertaining to each piece. Well, sure. And there in the Nadelman papers was a letter to Kirstein. Oh happy day!

It's sad that so many of these landmarks are gone -- the old NYCB/SAB/New York School of Ballet studio, the Empire coffee shop, the Ballet Shop. And that's just what I can think of off the top of my head.
It's sad that Ballet Alley is pretty much gone. In a few years nobody in the theater will even be able to afford to live in the Theater District. Well, that's progress.

I recently heard that a big part in successful/quick debugging and easing the process of programming is to use a big screen.
I may be purchasing a new computer in the future and this has me wondering:
1)Is the aforementioned statement actually true or is it a bit of a stretch?
2)Have you noticed that this plays a significant enough part to buy a bigger screen if the bigger screen is significantly more expensive?
3)Is it common for developers to work on 13'' laptop screen as their main (and only) workstation (this is what I currently develop on) or is this actually disadvantageous?
This may be subjective but any professional opinions/experiences would be greatly appreciated!

In the following context:
I'm clutching at straws here. I'm trying to imagine how a woman could fail to be offended by being called a "hole".
What's meant by "clutching at straws"?
In the following context:
What's meant by "clutching at straws"?
closed as general reference by simchona♦, Jasper Loy, J.R., Carlo_R., jwpat7 Jul 22 '12 at 6:46
This question is too basic; it can be definitively and permanently answered by a single link to a standard internet reference source designed specifically to find that type of information.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Imagine that you are about to fall. Imagine that you grab / grasp / clutch at a bunch of straws to avoid falling. It is a desperate move, because the straws will never be able to hold your weight and you know it, but do it regardless (because it is your last hope).
The expression above could be translated as:
"I cannot understand how a woman who is called a 'hole' (anus or vagina) is not offended (by being reduced to a mere sexual toy)."
It means "looking for a way to do something which is actually hopeless and unattainable". Like trying to stop yourself from falling by grabbing onto something that's not going to hold your weight.
Often, it's used to describe taking an untenable position in a discussion – trying to justify something by coming up with propositions that just don't make sense.
It means "grasping at straws", which is the more common variation on the idiom. From the linked source:
The idiom originated with Thomas More's Dialogue of Comfort Against Tribulation (1534).
It indicates desperation. A drowning man will clutch/grab at anything, even at straws (this is the (older?) usage that means 'dry grass' not drinking straws) in an attempt to save himself. I have no idea what @tony gil is talking about incidentally. :-)

i'm new with ubuntu. I decided today to install the version 13.04. When i finished installing it, the system didn't recognized my broadcom BCM43227 wifi network card. So i searched online, and i known that i had to install bcmwl-kernel-source from my ubuntu cd. The problem is that i don't have a cd, but a USB drive with ubuntu (unetinboot). So maybe the only solution is to mount the iso of my usb into media/cdrom (upgrade software center says that the bcmwl-kernel-source must be in media/cdrom).
I also found this but i don't know how to install it http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/hybrid-portsrc_x86_64-v5_100_82_112.tar.gz
I hope you can help me!

New custom configs are not picked up by previously linked instances
If I have a class
That is already linked to an instance in say MyViewport
MyViewportmyclassThen I add a custom config property to MyClass.
The new custom config property is not available in the property list of the linked instance myclass.
Workaround is to delete the linked instance and recreate it - works perfectly.
Just a small bug really - the rest of Architect is really great to work with and has saved me a load of time already - thank you!

SAFETY SENSE: Bill Passes Committee Despite Opposition
A 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS investigation already showed how Minnesota is spending some of its homeland security money.
On Wednesday, a bill introduced after our investigation that would lay the groundwork for state funding of the Minnesota Joint Analysis Center, known as MNJAC, passed a Legislative committee, but not before running into opposition from privacy advocates.
Watch our story above.
Click here to watch our original Safety Sense investigation, look at some of the spending, and watch extended interviews with the people we interviewed for this investigation.
Read the bill that passed the House Public Safety & Crime Prevention Policy and Finance committee on March 14, 2012.

A simple problem, really: you have one billion (1e+9) unsigned 32-bit integers stored as decimal ASCII strings in a TSV (tab-separated values) file. Conversion using
int() is horribly slow compared to other tools working on the same dataset. Why? And more importantly: how to make it faster?
Therefore the question: what is the fastest way possible to convert a string to an integer, in Python?
What I'm really thinking about is some semi-hidden Python functionality that could be (ab)used for this purpose, not unlike Guido's use of
array.array in his "Optimization Anecdote".
Sample data (with tabs expanded to spaces)
38262904 "pfv" 2002-11-15T00:37:20+00:00
12311231 "tnealzref" 2008-01-21T20:46:51+00:00
26783384 "hayb" 2004-02-14T20:43:45+00:00
812874 "qevzasdfvnp" 2005-01-11T00:29:46+00:00
22312733 "bdumtddyasb" 2009-01-17T20:41:04+00:00
The time it takes reading the data is irrelevant here, processing the data is the bottleneck.
All of the following are interpreted languages. The host machine is running 64-bit Linux.
Python 2.6.2 with IPython 0.9.1, ~214k conversions per second (100%):
In [1]: strings = map(str, range(int(1e7)))
In [2]: %timeit map(int, strings);
10 loops, best of 3: 4.68 s per loop
REBOL 3.0 Version 220.127.116.11.2, ~231kcps (108%):
>> strings: array n: to-integer 1e7 repeat i n [poke strings i mold (i - 1)]
== "9999999"
>> delta-time [map str strings [to integer! str]]
== 0:00:04.328675
REBOL 18.104.22.168.2 (15-Mar-2008), ~523kcps (261%):
As John noted in the comments, this version does not build a list of converted integers, so the speed-ratio given is relative to Python's 4.99s runtime of
for str in strings: int(str).
>> delta-time: func [c /local t] [t: now/time/precise do c now/time/precise - t]
>> strings: array n: to-integer 1e7 repeat i n [poke strings i mold (i - 1)]
== "9999999"
>> delta-time [foreach str strings [to integer! str]]
== 0:00:01.913193

How to Keep a Tablecloth from Moving
- The slick surface of a table makes it tricky to keep a tablecloth in place. If children are around, it can be nearly impossible to keep your tablecloth looking pristine. Picnic tablecloth clips do work, but can be rather unsightly since one end of the clip will be visible. Another ideal remedy to keep your tablecloth in place is to use a fabric fastener such as Velcro. You can use as much or as little as you need and it can be safely washed if your tablecloth gets dirty. The ideal place to put the fasteners is under the lip of the table so they won't be seen.
- Things You'll Need
- Pencil or pen
- Fabric fasteners such as Velcro
- Thread
- Needle
- Ruler
- Scissors
- Instructions
- Place your tablecloth on the table upside down. Make sure that it's lying completely flat and in the position that you want it.
- Mark the places where the fabric fasteners will be adhered. Ideally you only need to fasten the tablecloth to the table in four places. On a square or rectangular table, tuck the tablecloth under the lip of the table on one end and place the marks near the corners with pen or pencil (pencil is best, but for darker tablecloths you may need to use a pen). Do the same on the opposite side of the tablecloth. If your table is circular, place the four marks at an equal distance away from each other, creating four "corners."
- Measure and cut four strips of fabric fastener that are 2 inches long. Remove the backing of the fastener strips and fasten them over the marks you made earlier. Select thread which is same color as your tablecloth or close to it as possible. Secure the fabric fasteners to the tablecloth by sewing them in place. Sewing it in addition to using the fabric fasteners' adhesive backing will help keep them in place through repeated washings.
- Place the tablecloth back on the table, right side up. Shift it about until it's back in its original position. Cut four additional 2-inch strips of fabric fastener that are the reverse of the ones used on the tablecloth (if hooks were used on the tablecloth, then the loops will be used for the table).
- Check the position of the tablecloth's strips before sticking the strips to the underside of the table lip. Push down hard to ensure that the fabric fasteners are securely attached to the table.
- Fasten the tablecloth to the table.
- Tips & Warnings
- The far edge of the fabric fastener needs to be set only 1 inch from the edge of the table. If your table has an extremely short lip, size the fasteners so they fit.
- 1 x Tablecloth
- 4 x Placemats
- 1 x Tissue Box

LeBron vs. Kobe, Jordan
LeBron James, after winning his second straight NBA title Thursday said, "I want to be, if not the greatest, one of the greatest to ever play this game." At age 28, he's well on his way.
James's numbers compare favorably to two other greats of the past 30 years, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, who had put up similar playoff numbers by their age-28 season. Jordan, probably the best player of all time, has the overall statistical edge, though James has been the better rebounder and has played 46 more playoff games. James, however, leads in nearly every category over Bryant, who didn't even start his first 20 postseason games.
There is even room for improvement. James and the Heat went 11 games this postseason in between pairs of consecutive victories before ending the slump with wins in Games 6 and 7 in the finals. Jordan's six title-winning teams never had lapses of more than six games without winning streaks, and Bryant's five championship Lakers teams never went more than four games between two-game winning streaks.
Also, the Heat were outscored by San Antonio by five points in the finals series. It's the third time in four finals series James has played that his team has been outscored, and his overall record in finals games is now just 10-12. Jordan went 24-11 in finals games and the Bulls were never outscored in a championship series. Bryant is 23-15 and his Lakers have outscored East opponents by about a point a game in finals.
On the basis of individual stats, James is comfortably in Jordan's and Bryant's company as playoff performers. Now he needs just a few dominant title runs to match their résumés past age 28.

June 16, 2011 -- Insect stings are little more than painful nuisances for most people. But for others, the venom from insects can cause severe allergic reactions and even death. That's according to a joint task force of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, and the Joint Council of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, which has updated practice guidelines for diagnosing and treating stinging insect allergies.
Serious allergic reactions to insect stings cause at least 40 deaths each year in the U.S. Experts estimate that life-threatening reactions to insect stings occur in 3% of adults and up to 0.8% of children.
Richard Nicklas, MD, a clinical professor of medicine at George Washington Medical Center in Washington, D.C., and one of the authors of the guidelines, says that for most people insect stings usually cause temporary pain, swelling, and redness, symptoms that can be treated at home.
Some Stings May Require Immediate Medical Attention
"An allergic reaction is more severe and often includes hives, itching, and swelling in areas other than the sting site," Nicklas says in a news release. "These reactions require immediate medical attention."
Symptoms of a serious life-threatening allergic reaction, also called anaphylaxis, can include tightness of the chest, difficulty breathing, hives, swelling of the tongue, throat, nose, and lips; nausea, cramps, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, or loss of consciousness. The updated guidelines say research indicates that allergy shots, also known as immunotherapy, could prevent many adverse reactions. With allergy shots, people could build up their immune system's tolerance to insect venom.
The task force also says some insects considered fairly harmless may be dangerous, such as bumblebees.
The practice guidelines say people who feel they are at increased risk of serious reactions should see an allergist for evaluation and possible treatment. People at highest risk include those who have asthma or a history of severe reactions to insect stings, and people with heart disease, high blood pressure, or people taking certain medications for those conditions may require special attention.
The statement says people who have a history of serious adverse reactions to insect stings should:
- Educate themselves about bees and other stinging insects so that they can avoid them.
- Carry epinephrine at all times for emergency self-treatment and receive instructions on how to properly use the medication. Consider a prescription for an additional injector because some people with anaphylaxis may need more than one epinephrine injection.
- Undergo testing for specific antibodies to stinging insects.
- Be considered for immunotherapy (allergy shots) if test results for the antibodies are positive.
Consider carrying medical identification (like a bracelet or pendant) stating their insect sting allergy.

From their FAQ:
What are "Alternate Inbox Names" ? There are 2 ways to get email into any given inbox. When you check an inbox, listed at the top is the Alternate Inbox name. Emailing that alternate name is the same as emailing the regular name of the inbox. For example, the alternate name for "joe" is "M8R-yrtvm01" (all alternate names start with "M8R-").
So basically if you cracked the Alternate Inbox Names, you will have access to the URL of the original word used, in this case M8R-yrtvm01 will lead to joe.mailinator.com
Do you think it's possible or easy to crack? I think for that you should brute force attack their site, which will be sooner down due to heavy loads.


text: Hey again folks, I'm back after going away for a few hours. Here is the rest of my lessons, and to start the end of the day I will show you "how to draw a skull tattoo", step by step. I know I have drawn plenty of skull art in the past but I never tackled a concept that had a skull ripping out from flesh. I really like the way that this skull drawing came out and I'm pretty sure that you folks will enjoy this tut too. There really isn't much more I can say since I have made so many skull designs in the past. All I can do now is let you have your way with this submission, and prepare my next. Until next time people.

iPhoto '11 has beautiful email templates that make it a great choice for sharing pics with friends. I can't seem find a way to send emails with the recipients in a BCC field, forcing me to break a cardinal rule of mass emails--putting all the addresses in the TO field OR first email myself and then forwarding the email, which is kind of a pain.
Any fix for this from iPhoto itself?

Nearly 400 non-profit groups all across Kentucky are participating in Kentucky Gives Day tomorrow.
Kentucky Gives Day is a 24-hour online fundraising event to raise money for charities.
Several non-profit groups in South Central Kentucky are participating in the event.
Community Action of Southern Kentucky says the event could enable them to help thousands of people with basic needs in the area.
"This could help us provide food for families, for seniors, help more people with their utilities, all kinds of different things," says Public Information Coordinator for Community Action of Southern Kentucky, Charity Parrish.
The opportunity to donate starts at midnight, and continues through Wednesday night.
You may go to kygives.org to learn more about each group, and to make a donation.

I have an app in Django that expects to get a record with the fields email, first_name, and last_name.
However, sometimes I want to be able to send it something that isn't actually a record but behaves like one (in that it has the necessary fields as attributes), like so:
class FakeRecord(object):
def __init__(self, email, first_name=None, last_name=None):
self.email = email
self.first_name = first_name
self.last_name = last_name
I'm wondering if there is a standard name for this kind of object or if
FakeRecord works as the name for this class.
More generally, is there a name for a class that stands in for or behaves similarly to another class? Is there a standard implementation/design pattern?
Further clarification
For the purposes of my app, basically I have a utility function that sends an email to a recipient. The recipient can be any Django record so long as it has an email address, a first name, and a last name.
However, sometimes the app sends a one-off mailing to some given e-mail address that doesn't have a record. In those cases, I simply create a FakeRecord with the email address (and first name/last name if available), and send that in instead.
Since the utility function itself doesn't do anything with the record other than retrieving the attributes, none of the other db functionality of a Django record object is needed.

I believe they're from the late '80s, early '90s. I watched it when I was about 2 (born in '89). I had it on a VHS but don't know if it was a TV show too. The episodes started with a female narrator in a cottage before it went to the animation with talking animals. I remember one episode with a haunted island I believe.
This series is called The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends, and is based on the books by Beatrix Potter. It is an animated TV show from the UK, which aired from 1992 to 1995 - later released on VHS/DVD.

6 Star Wars Characters Too Idiotic for Film
If you think the Star Wars saga just encompasses six films and one Christmas special, well, we envy you.
Because the reality is, in the last 30-plus years of Star Wars there have been countless games, comics, novels, cartoons, TV specials and coloring books. And since George Lucas's approval process apparently involves handing a rubber stamp to a five-year-old, this "extended universe" has given us a handful of explosively retarded characters.
#6. Ikrit
From: The novels.
We're not talking about the kid here. The kid is Anakin Solo, the son of Han and Leia. Ikrit is the Trix Rabbit monstrosity sitting on the kid's shoulders, and guess what? That's not his pet, that's his Jedi fucking Master.
This is the post-Return of the Jedi universe, where Jedis in training have the privilege of being taught by Luke "actual for real Jedi" Skywalker. Meanwhile, in a world where the Force can be passed on to a farm boy via Jedi man-batter, the genetically-privileged offspring of two people who spent their first date saving the universe from the forces of evil is being mentored by puss in freaking boots. Hell, why not just send him to public school?
"Non-refundable, your training is."
According to the Junior Jedi Knights series of novels about the Skywalker/Solo children, Ikrit was trained by Yoda centuries before the events in any of the movies, because in the Star Wars universe muppets have a longer lifespan than most modern nations. After somehow passing Jedi School, Ikrit went into exile for 400 years, presumably because someone locked him in a garage without a cat door, before Han's batshit crazy child found him and eagerly accepted the opportunity to be trained by the mystical rodent.
Why He Doesn't Belong:
He could either be running from Darth Vader or a Pokemon Master.
Probably Ikrit's most glaring deficiency would be the lack of opposable thumbs, something a Jedi would find pretty crucial in the operation of a lightsaber. Even Yoda could switch one on and pump up the jams like House Party 3, so as far as we're concerned Ikrit has no excuse. Also, we just can' t picture something that looks this much like a Care Bear going toe to toe against somebody like Darth Vader.
#5. Ziro
From: Star Wars: The Clone Wars video game
During the Clone Wars (between Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith) Ziro is the most notorious Hutt crime-lord on Coruscant, and he's also totally fabulous.
This tattooed, peacock-feather wearing villain first appeared in The Clone Wars movie as one of the main antagonists, and is Jabba the Hutt's embarrassing uncle. You know, the kind of uncle that shows up at family reunions and makes all of your female cousins really uncomfortable. Ziro speaks English instead of the cool, guttural Huttese language spoken by every other Hutt in a voice that seems more than slightly inspired by the openly gay author Truman Capote. It's also worth noting that Lucas is listed as a Producer of the animated film, which means he was probably at least aware the character existed before the game was released, once again confirming that George Lucas has lost his fucking mind.
"George, I told you a hundred times, it's not a real laser. We don't- Those aren't real, yet, and no one would give you one anyway."
Ziro's voice--along with his fashionably dyed purple skin and luminous yellow tattoos--presumably makes him the first openly homosexual Star Wars character (C-3PO is a robot so he doesn't count) so we guess that's some kind of civil rights milestone. Then again, he spends his time hanging out in his neon-lit apartment (which he describes as his "pleasure palace"), steals baby slugs and uncomfortably strokes his vast army of droid man-slaves. So evidently the first gay Star Wars character also had to be a depraved sexual lunatic.
Why He Doesn't Belong:
Did the first gay Star Wars character have to be a creepy, purple, gangster slug? We're already trying to justify the fantastically racist Jar Jar Binks, the mincing gilded nancybot C-3PO, the vaguely Jewish/Middle Eastern swindler Watto and the fact that Darth Vader suddenly started speaking with the voice of a black man when he turned evil. Give us a little help here, guys.
#4. Mount Sorrow
The Ewok Adventures (comic)
Meet Mount Sorrow, a sentient, talking mountain on the forest moon of Endor. In the above picture you can see him in his first (and only) appearance in the Ewok Adventures comic book, because as the writers soon realized, it is difficult to make a recurring character out of a giant stationary land mass.
Pictured: Tim Taylor and his original wacky neighbor, The Grand Canyon.
Mount Sorrow is named as such because his tears have the power to cure anyone of any ailment or illness. As luck would have it, he is constantly depressed and near suicidal, probably because he's a fucking rock on a moon full of Ewoks.
Don't worry, big guy. We've all asked Lucas the same question by now.
Why He Doesn't Belong:
OK, the Star Wars universe is a fantastical place. We get it. We just can't imagine a moment in the original trilogy where Luke Skywalker would travel to a world of teddy bears and try to get a talking mountain to cry enough magical tears to heal his severed hand.

Our photography group recently held a figure photography session, with a nude model. We want to share our photos, but don't want to fall foul of strict site rules regarding nudity. Normally I'd use Picasa, but after trawling through their FAQ I found that they explicitly forbid nudity. Where's the best place to share (tasteful) nude shots?
photo.net allows them in public galleries. There are a lot of good pros there that show excellent work in all categories, including nudes.
There paying and free memberships. The free membership limits the gallery size and number of uploads.
Flickr allows nudes as long as you change the image's "safety level" so kiddos and people at work don't get them popping up on a search; you're perfectly within the ToS. You can also make groups and galleries private if you'd rather limit who can see the photos and/or comment on them...
You're allowed to host them on SmugMug as long as it's a non-public gallery (Note: I am affiliated w/said site :))
In addition to SmugMug being a great host they also are involved with DGrin which has a Go Figure Forum that is a good place to get comments that are constructive.
You also can try SmugMug for a 14 day trial if you want.
If you want a very high quality gallery site, where artistic nudes are very appreciated, 1x.com is a great option. Warning: their standards are SUpER high!
I have a friend who switched from Flickr to DeviantArt after shooting at a fetish photography workshop. DeviantArt allows nude images, but requires the viewers to have an account so they can change their settings to view adult-rated material. (This works even when both the poster and the viewer have free accounts only).
This friend then stayed with DeviantArt for all kinds of photography and stopped using Flickr, because he said that on DeviantArt, there is a higher chance of random people seeing his pictures and offering constructive critique. So I suppose it can be a good option.
I agree with DeviantArt being a good option for sharing your pictures (although I'm personally tired of seeing mostly nude photos there). The good thing with it is that the settings are personal for each user, that is you can allow nudity and mature contents pictures to appear on your page, or you can choose to hide them. Thus a lot of people can see your image if they have the proper settings, even if like me, their primary interest is not nude photos. I sometimes find photos that I like on my main page, although I would never search for nude photos on my own.
I had the same problem on Google+. Then I decided to create a photo blog on Tumblr:
Here's a sample created by a professional photographer, Andre Brito:
I use http://www.bitpine.com love it! but these are other alternatives :
there are plenty out there google can help too :)
The best website I recommend is http://www.imageshot.eu. You can create private or public albums and classified by categories, this great. greetings

As you think about where you'd like to deliver your baby, you can also choose the type of labor experience you would like to have. Although the baby will push his way down the birth canal and into the world whether you're ready or not, it's better to be prepared. When you look for a childbirth class, you'll find that there are many different kinds. There are classes offered by hospitals, YWCAs, health maintenance organizations (HMOs), physician medical practices, and so on. Each offers a unique approach to pregnancy and childbirth, so look around to find one that reflects your beliefs and philosophies. The most popular include classes that teach the birth methods of the International Childbirth Education Association, Lamaze, The Bradley Method, Grantly Dick-Read, and Leboyer gentle birth.
Classes sponsored by the ICEA do not emphasize any particular approach to childbirth. They offer general information about the process of labor and birth. They discuss natural childbirth, teach various methods of dealing with the pain of labor and birth, and present the options available for pain relief. All instructors are certified by the ICEA.
Lamaze is probably the most widely used method of birth in the United States. It was first introduced in France in 1951 by the French obstetrician Fernand Lamaze.
It emphasizes natural birth and offers a variety of relaxation methods to deal with pain (although an overview of anesthesia and pain relief is included for women who prefer this). Visualization, guided imagery, massage, and coaching from a partner are all part of this program. Lamaze is best known for its patterned breathing routine that teaches a woman to focus on certain breathing patterns and a concentration point (such as a mark on a nearby wall). This technique makes it possible to block pain messages to the brain. If practiced throughout the pregnancy, a woman's conditioned response to contractions becomes a relaxed method of breathing rather than muscle tension and fear. Official Lamaze classes are taught by teachers who are certified by the American Society for Psychoprophylaxis in Obstetrics (ASPO/Lamaze) and use the initials ACCE (ASPO-certified childbirth educator) after their names.
The Bradley Method emphasizes natural childbirth with the parents working as a team. Diet and exercise are practiced throughout the pregnancy to prepare the body for the rigors of birth. Bradley students are taught deep abdominal breathing and an understanding of the labor and delivery process. Rather than try to block out pain, the Bradley method encourages concentrated awareness that works through the pain. There is much emphasis on the education and training of the woman's labor and birth coach.
It was the Bradley Method that first introduced the idea of husband coaches in the delivery room. Before this method became popular, expectant dads stayed out of the way, paced the floor in the waiting room, and worried. Some men say they like it better that way, but many appreciate the fact that they can now participate in the birth of their child, support their partner, and be present the moment their baby greets the world.
Grantly Dick-Read was an English obstetrician in the 1920s when the management of birth pain was handled by knocking the women unconscious with chloroform. After watching a woman refuse chloroform and deliver her baby without trauma or pain, Dick-Read came to believe that fear and tension were the cause of labor pains. He noticed that no other animal species experienced suffering, pain, or agony during the birth process and hypothesized that a woman's fear of labor pains caused blood to be filtered away from the uterus, so it could be used by the muscles that would flee if the fear were caused by a dangerous situation (sometimes called the flight-or-flight response). As a result, the uterus did not have the oxygen supply it needed to perform efficiently or without pain. He believed that by eliminating the fear, women could return the uterus to its normal function—without pain. In 1933, Dick-Read put his ideas into a book called Natural Childbirth that was not well received by the British medical community.
Dick-Read died in 1959, but his theory remains the basis of many of today's childbirth classes. His ideas are still quoted in books and papers by many of the world's most notable childbirth educators. He believed that education about the birth process and relaxation exercises during labor were the keys to reducing labor pains. Today, few disagree with this insight. Although it is out of print, Dr. Dick-Read's book Childbirth Without Fear is still available through various online booksellers such as amazon.com. You might also enjoy reading Post-War Mothers: Childbirth Letters to Grantly Dick-Read by Mary Thomas (University of Rochester Press, 1998).
After the birth of your baby, don't hold your breath waiting for the sound of a slap on the bottom and a sudden loud cry. This method of greeting a newborn is no longer common practice. Today, the baby is stimulated by a gentle rubbing on the back, if stimulation is needed at all.
A hospital delivery room is not the most inviting place for a newborn. The lights are bright, the noise level can be high, and until a few years ago the newcomer was welcomed by being hoisted aloft by his ankles and slapped on the buttocks. A French obstetrician named Frederick Leboyer wrote a book in 1974, Birth Without Violence, calling for a more sensitive and gentle approach to birth. His recommendations have evolved into the Leboyer method, which advocates low lights and soothing music in the delivery room. The newborn is immediately placed on her mother's abdomen, postponing umbilical cord cutting and suctioning. The baby is then placed in a warm bath to enjoy a return to the weightlessness of the womb. This method of childbirth is gaining in popularity. The birthing rooms are now often well-designed with adjustable lighting and with medical equipment available nearby, but out of sight.

When is it okay to post two answers to one question?
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
When you have two distinct answers.
It's better to post two different answers than to put them both into one answer.
Some questions will be multiple-answer types directly, like tips-and-tricks or best-practices. This allows the ones the community feels are the best/correct to float to the top.
Some computer languages have a lot of flexibility in how to solve any one problem, so by listing them both as separate answers (if very distinct) they can both be voted on by the community, and this will allow the better answer to float to the top. It also allows the comment threads to be more focused on each answer.
If you put two very different answers in one, then one could be a great answer, and one could be a terrible way to do things, but the upvotes (or downvotes) on the good (or bad) answer will drag the other along with it to the top (or bottom).
I have already had a couple of "real" (e.g. not a poll or fluff or humor) questions where I answered with 2 or even 3 solutions, explaining the reasons to pick each one. And i'm a relative newbie on SO (only 4k rep).
One place where this situation is especially likely to come true is Perl (aka ThereIsMoreThanOneWayToDoIt language).
While I usually squeeze all my ideas into a single post in such situations, I greatly appreciate the ability to NOT put them in one basket, so to speak - e.g. when I feel that posting one of the answers is education and adds to the site's useful content, yet the other one is "more deserving" (e.g. cuter/more elegant) and you don't want the up/down votes from one to affect the other.
If it is possible for a question to have two valid answers from the same person, the odds are high that it's a bad question.
(in other words, it's a poll question.)
In general there should be one answer per person per question; if you need to amplify your answer, edit it!
When they offer different approaches to the problem?¨
Sometimes one answer may be directly related with the problem the user is asking.
Other answer may be something that you suggest as an alternative.
For instance, "How do I shoot my self in the foot with C++"
1st answer ... .First you do #define if while etc. etc
2nd answer ... Why use C++, you can use ( this, and that, and the other )
There always can be two answer for the same question ( specially when is vague )
I can't think of a good reason for doing that, except for polls, which are not welcome (except occasionally on meta sites).
If you have two solutions to the same problem, post them in a single answer. Explain when you would use this solution and when you would use that solution. This is better than two separate answers that don't address when to use each solution. For example: "If you have version 1, do <this>. If you have version 2, you can use <this simpler solution> instead."

Future Visions
The Richard Nixon Presidential Library served as the regal backdrop for the third annual Shared Visions gala-a swanky soiree that's the signature fundraiser for Marshall B. Ketchum University in Fullerton. Guests browsed a special Shared Visions Art Exhibit showcasing works created by blind and visually impaired artists, then dined on scrumptious dishes catered by Anaheim White House and paid homage to outstanding optometry professionals who were presented with the college's V-Awards. The evening raised more than $175,000 for Ketchum's efforts to promote eye health—and we think that all who attended are visionaries, indeed. Photography by Ann Chatillon

Bullseye, as per usual.
The name definitely reaches for something that is not there; how incredibly devoid of any real consciousness. This white ill sculpted obelisk is another round piece for a square hole.
About time ! I am 61 this month and when I graduated from Pius I worked on the 1st Wisconsin. That was a long time ago.This building is beautiful!! Giter done!! Next figure out how to clean up west of the river to 7th and you'll have a real winner!!
Fantastic post, Mary Louise! You have such a dynamic way of critiquing the subject matter, I really enjoyed reading this and agree with your assessment. I think Matt's a great architect, and hopefully will take note of this post to make this building (or future buildings) even better.
Wow. Seems a bit derivative to me. I really think Milwaukee deserves a one-of-a-kind design and this one seems as common as those bridges all over the country that resemble the Sixth St. Viaduct.
I love the design, but we're beginning to overdose on white buildings within a few block radius. You have the US (let's put a giant sticker with our name on it) Bank building, Pier Wisconsin/Discovery World, the Calatrava, Cudahy Towers, O'Donnell Park and other buildings along the lake all in white. Personally, I'd like to see the same shape but in all reflective glass to mirror the surroundings.
There may be better designs but this one looks fine. Plus, it's actually a decent size for Milwaukee and would really add to making the skyline better to look at.
Nice design, I just hope they do not need taxpayer money to build. Government should get out of the business of financing luxury office and condominium real estate developments.
Less government for everyone.
Why not just build six more floors, and make it a 50 story tower? Might as well make an architectural statement by bringing Wisconsin it's first 50 story building. That can't be that much of an adjustment to the total project cost. Now, certainly, 50 stories would make a statement for a long time to come.Hide replies
I counted the floors on the rendering of the Couture and stopped counting at 47 floors.
fly.....I would suspect that some of the floors are actually using "double set" window arrangements, but are actually one floor with higher ceilings, which make them appear as two floors when they are actually only one. It is a common practice with taller buildings - especially on the West Coast.
Great article! I would love to see something a bit more daring. I understand Milwaukee's mid-western conservatism, but a structure that is a bit more out of the box can really make a great statement and be a significantly impressive addition to the skyline. SF is known for several distinctive structures including the pyramidal Transamerica building. That building was very polarizing when it was built in the 70s; many people panned it. Now it is iconic and well loved.

For NYU to achieve its mission of knowledge creation and distribution, it needs outstanding professionals dedicated to moving the University forward as one of the finest global research institutions in the world and a model of higher education for many years to come. To attract, retain, and motivate these high-quality employees, NYU needs to give them the opportunities and challenges to grow the breadth and depth of their skills at NYU, and be rewarded appropriately for their contributions to NYU's success.
Many higher education institutions are using a type of compensation structure called "Bands" to address the expanding need to provide their employees greater opportunities to grow in their career. This way, they can attract and retain first-class employees.
Employees need the flexibility to move across the University to take on new experiences so they can develop their skills. Bands provide this simpler, more flexible structure, which contributes to an environment where personal and career growth can take place without concern over level.
Bands allow you to focus on career growth and developing your skills—in fact, it should be easier to move between jobs so you can take on new challenges and expand your contributions to the University. They also allow for a broader range of options to consider when planning professional growth and skill development.
With Bands, jobs are organized into larger groups based on level of responsibility. The jobs in each group share certain key characteristics, including:
• Scope—the job's breadth of responsibilities;
• Reporting relationship—the level of management that the job reports to;
• Required skills—the job's complexity, degree of specialization, and the necessary education or equivalent experience; and
• Accountability and institutional impact—the degree to which this job bears ultimate responsibility.
While jobs within a band are related across these key characteristics, there are varying degrees of scope and accountability within each band, which creates multiple levels. This allows a more flexible framework for making decisions about employees' career growth, job movement and skills development within a band.
Here's a look at some of the advantages of Bands:
Within each band, jobs from any number of different functions are grouped together. When a job is posted, it may be from any of these different functions. Without grades, you're less likely to focus on just the handful of jobs within your function that represent a grade increase. Instead, you can focus on the many more jobs (from any function) that build new skills or expose you to different areas of the business.
This new approach exposes you to jobs that enable you to acquire new and different skills. That type of growth in skills and responsibilities places the emphasis on broad-based personal growth, rather than vertical job movement (grade-to-grade increases).
With the more flexible structure that Bands provides, hierarchical barriers to teamwork are eliminated. The new structure allows for greater collaboration among peers on a variety of teams.
Level of responsibility is an important element in Bands. It influences Scope, Reporting Relationship and Accountability, which are all key factors in determining how a job is banded. So in your career development, you're likely to focus on aspects of your current job (and potential new jobs) that increase your level of responsibility.
Our old grade structure was right for its time. But in today's environment, grades can function as barriers that don't allow us to achieve our organizational objectives—like the need for people to have a greater breadth of knowledge of our Global Network University, and to move between assignments and across job functions, whether in New York City or across the globe.
Our compensation structure consists of six bands for Administrative and Professional employees. Here's a look at the Band structure and the broad roles that fall into each band.
|Officer, Associate Provost, Dean, VP, SVP
|Director, Senior Director, Assistant/Associate Vice President, Assistant/Associate Dean
|Senior Administrative and Professional/First-Level Manager
|Mid-Level Administrative and Professional/First-Level Manager
|Entry to Experienced Administrative and Professional First-Level Supervisor
|Senior Non-Exempt/Non-Union Positions
*Please note that while the titles above are meant to provide a general representation of the types of titles found at a given band level, title differences may exist across regions and specific global locations.
Each band has associated market rates based on job family or functional discipline—e.g., finance, technology. The scope and range of jobs in each band is so wide that setting salary ranges would offer no benefit. Instead of salary ranges, competitive market rates, which are much more accurate references for the value of a job, are used for individual positions. That means:
• The highest pay level in a band may be twice as high as the lowest pay level for that same band. So people in the same band may be paid differently based on the level and scope of responsibility of their specific job, as well as their own experience and performance...
• Market ranges from one band can overlap with another band. So a person in a lower band could be earning more than a person whose position is in a higher band...
• Two people in different types of jobs may be earning the same amount, even though they're in different bands...
Your pay level within the band is primarily determined by the market value of that particular job, plus your experience and performance. Pay is continually reviewed through external market studies, which take into consideration geography, cost of labor and university peer institutions.
Note: The salary levels shown in the bands above are for illustrative purposes only and may not correspond with the actual bands.
With Bands, there are three types of career progression:
|Type of Career Progression
|Band-to-Band Promotion
|Movement to a different job in a higher band
|Within Band Growth
|Movement to a different job in the same band
|Role Enhancement
|Adding significantly more responsibility within the same role
For example, assume you're a Budget Analyst in Band 52:
• A band-to-band promotion may be advancement to a Budget Manager in Band 53.
• Within band growth may be a move to a Finance Communication Manager in the same Band 52.
• Role enhancement may be advancement to a Budget Analyst II in the same Band 52.
Bands allow you to focus on meaningful ways of tracking your career development. Specifically, developing expertise and building experience through a variety of assignments—in addition to your overall performance and contribution to NYU—will determine the progress you make in your career. You'll have opportunities to develop your skills, which may result in both lateral and hierarchical career growth.
Band-to-band promotions to new jobs in a different band represent a significant step in career growth. Since each band differs in its scope, reporting relationships, required skills, and accountability, when you move from one band to another, that move represents a significant promotion—and a significant increase in the contribution you can make to NYU.
Bands allow for greater growth within each band. You may progress through several jobs—and receive pay increases—within the same band. You and your manager may even be in the same band. Job changes may be lateral or across functions, depending on business needs and your career interests. Under the Band structure, the focus is on broad-based growth and development, which can happen by moving on to new functions or new jobs—even within the same band.
The degree to which a particular job bears ultimate responsibility—either for work results or for the performance of others. Accountability is one of the characteristics that determine which band a job is placed in.
A structure that places each NYU job within one of six groups. The jobs in each group share certain key characteristics. Bands are a simplified job structure that supports a flatter organization and reduces barriers between functions and people. NYU Bands range from 51 to 56.
Events in which you take on a new job that provides the opportunity to make greater contributions to the University's success. In Bands, a promotion can occur when you move from a job in one band into a job in a higher-level band.
An individual's growth—whether it's in terms of skills, experience, knowledge, or other attributes—which leads to greater professional opportunities.
Movement from one function to another within the organization. Career mobility can help you gain the type of experience, skills, or knowledge to progress in your career. The movement can be cross-functional (from one area of the business to another), or it can be to another job in the same area where new experience, skills, or knowledge can be gained.
An ongoing process of developing the skills, knowledge and overall ability to make greater contributions to the University's success. Continued development assists you in your efforts to advance your career by providing opportunities to take on roles with greater responsibility. Bands support personal growth because they make it easier for you to consider jobs that would build (or strengthen) a broad base of skills and knowledge.
Refers to specific job function and related content expertise (e.g., technology, marketing, human resources, development).
The process through which a position is analyzed by Compensation to determine the most appropriate band.
A grouping of the major functions across the University. Job families form the basis for determining market reference ranges and setting the value for a given position. There are 16 job families, including:
|Job Family
|Business/Professional Administrative
|Non-Exempt Sciences Support
|Academic Program Support
|Finance/Real Estate/Procurement/Grant Management
|General Office Administration
|Health Services
|Campus/Auxiliary/Transportation, Facilities, Public Safety
|Development/Sponsored Research/Grant Writing
|Marketing, Advertising, Public Relations, Media, Video, Audio
|Other Non-Exempt Support, N.E.C.
|Human Resources
|Student Services/Athletics
The breadth and depth of responsibilities associated with a given position in the University. Job scope is one of the characteristics that determine which band a job is placed in.
The levels within an organization that place employees into a hierarchy. This hierarchy influences reporting relationships, teamwork, lines of communication, and almost every other aspect of the way the University's employees work with one another.
Guidelines that set the University's pay levels in line with what similar institutions pay for similar jobs. Market competitiveness relates to one of NYU's compensation principles.
The process through which the University analyzes pay for similar positions within peer organizations.
The complexity of a particular job and the degree of specialization that the person in the job must be able to demonstrate in day-to-day work. Required skills are one of the characteristics that determine which band a job is placed in.
The process through which employees either acquire new competencies or strengthen existing ones. Skill-building is one of the most effective ways for employees to further their careers, because a broader base of skills puts employees in a position to take on a broader range of job openings. Bands support skill-building because they encourage employees to consider new jobs that would help them develop a broader range of skills.

With the debt ceiling up in the air—and thus presenting a lot of unknowns–maybe we can save real money by getting rid of unnecessary elements in the DOD.
For instance, just think of the savings if we didn't have to fund that additional land army and redundant naval air force known as the USMC to such alarming levels.
Regardless, I figure that this problem is going to solve itself when the crushing debt becomes self-aware sometime this year.

I am trying to understand what option value
n exactly does in string formatting for the
type flag.
PEP 3101 says (in the section on available integer types):
'n' - Number. This is the same as 'd', except that it uses the
current locale setting to insert the appropriate
number separator characters.
I tried the following code:
print "This is a large number with formatting applied: {0:n}".format(1384309238430)
I get the output:
This is a large number with formatting applied: 1384309238430
That is, no number separator characters are present. How do I find my locale setting? How do I get the number separator characters (I am thinking that by number separator characters, it is referring to things such as thousands separator commas).

Well this one's been teed up perfectly really following last week's post on The Glenlivet, and specifically how they're catching the Glenfiddich in terms of sales whilst placing emphasise on their recent and historical innovation. So Glenfiddich, your move it seems. And here it is: Glenfiddich Gallery, a bespoke online whisky service where you can discover cask strength malts that match your personal tastes and also design the bespoke packaging your whisky will come in!
Whilst there is a certain award-winning online retailer that's provided the opportunity to personalise both the labels and the liquid of your whisky for some time now *ahem*, this is an incredibly exciting step for a leading single malt brand to take.

I'm sure you'll all remember the frankly fantastic couple of bottlings launched by the irrepressible duo from Caskstrength Neil and Joel in the past year or so?
First up was an Arran – a delight of a whisky with a frankly absurdly low outturn of only 92 bottles. This astonishing bottling rapidly sold out, and is now changing hands for hundreds of pounds on auction sites.
Second was an astonishing Benriach, matured for an impressive 16 years, and finished for 4 of those years in a Pedro Ximenez cask. This too, sold out in incredibly short order.
After 'A' for Arran, and 'B' for Benriach, must come 'C'.

Thursday was Jura Day. It started far too early for any of our liking, and lack of sleep is beginning to play heavily on people's sanity; that and the midges.
We left in a hurry to catch the ferry at 8.30am, at the other side of the Island. You know, over there.
It is not a long journey. In fact we reached Jura in about 4 and-a-half minutes, the malt mobile rolling off the boat and onto the rugged shore.Force of habit made us reach for the sat nav, to aid us in our navigation of the Island's one, single track road. We were going the right way.

Thursday/Thorsday last week was the day the Runes foretold, their arrival marked by the noise of the door buzzer as the DHL man arrived – just like the days of yore. They spoke of the coming of something that would require valour, and bravery (check and check), though sadly due to "the way of things", the Runes didn't arrive daily as a lead up to Thorsday. One arrived on Tuesday, the rest, on Wednesday. It was still quite dramatic though (let's just say it didn't Rune the surprise), even if they did come in either a fake felt pouch or a mauve mesh-bag-thing that a small girl would keep her jewellery in.More...

The two most popular choices for whisky ageing - sherry casks and bourbon barrels - offer a totally different style of single malt and here at Master of Malt, we love both in equal measure. Just like with children, it's wrong to have a favourite (unless one child is a maths-whiz-head-boy-sports-star-type, and the other is one of those miserable kids that dyes his hair black and combs it over his face, whilst complaining constantly about how "unfair it all is").

And now for the continuing story of the mud room...
Instead of getting treated like a tired old maid who was constantly being bogged down with all my kids' junk, I thought I'd rescue the old mud room. Give it a new personality. One that was a little more dignified. Like a distinguished English butler, ready to welcome our guests. And so I came up with this...
My design plan started with the paint color--this is Calypso Blue by Benjamin Moore, and it really causes you to take notice of this small room. The lack of natural light made it a hard color to photograph, but take my word for it--it's the perfect shade of peacock. It's also one of Ashley and Jamin's favorite paint colors listed in their new EBook, Handmade Walls. If you haven't downloaded your copy yet, what are you waiting for? Click on the button in my sidebar to get yours!
A black and white houndstooth (found at Hobby Lobby) seemed like the perfect fabric for the bench cushion, and the gold velvet pillows from Pier 1 help give it the distinguished English butler air.
The small mirror and key were both from Hobby Lobby on 50% off week, so I got them for $7 or $8 each. After a light spray-over with Krylon's Gold Foil spray, they were up on the wall.
The old cabinet hardware was not much of a contrast with the wood, so I switched those out with these awesome ceramic and brass ones, also from Hobby Lobby. (Have I mentioned how much I LOVE that place?)
And for a little something extra, I added black vinyl numbers. Be still my heart. It really is the little things...
And for more interest, we switched out our can lights for a couple Ottava pendants from Ikea using a recessed light converter kit from Home Depot. Both HD and Lowes carry these kits in the stores, but they're made for different types of recessed lights, so check them out first. We ended up having to order this one online.
I'm really happy with the new personality of the room. Even though it's small, it's the perfect space for guests to hang their coats and bags. And since we're hosting 22 people for Thanksgiving, it will definitely be put to good use next week.
So, good-bye, poor tired old maid. You may go rest in peace and let the kids' new lockers deal with all their stuff.
The butler has taken over in the mud room and has everything under control. I think I'll name him Mr. Carson. We could use a Mr. Carson around here.
Hope you like this little update! I'm sharing it with a few of these friends.

I'm looking for something that would facilitate a private video chat between two cameras. Ideally it would be a hosted service (like viddler) that can be implemented into a site and branded.
I've read Adobe Stratus is the technology behind chatroulette - the need is for something that has similar functionality but privately and not random - TinyChat is pretty close but isn't brandable or able to be embedded.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Radon is a naturally occurring gas and it's the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.
This week is National Radon Action Week, and it's only the beginning of an entire year of activities on the national and local level to help increase awareness of the serious health problem radon poses.
Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that comes up naturally through soil, rocks and water that contain Uranium. And while it's harmless when released outside, it can be a big health hazard if it gets indoors.
That's why WKU is sponsoring a special training session at Moss Middle School, put on by the Southern Region Radon Training Center from Auburn University. Representatives from more than 14 school systems in South-Central Kentucky are learning how to design systems that would take radon out of their schools, just in case it should ever become a problem.
Experts say while radon gas can pose a significant danger to schools and other buildings, if you're really concerned bout the effects of radon, you should start by testing your home, because 1 in 15 homes has a problem with radon.
You can get a free home test kit from the Barren River District Health Department... as well as other health departments around the state.
For more information on radon gas you can visit:
Also, there is a national poster contest for students in grades 4 through 8. The winners will receive an expense paid trip to Washington, D.C. in January 2004, to receive awards.
For more information on that, log on to:

Eating seasonally at Rainbow Chinese
Was the plant world trying to send me a message?
As luck would have it, the theme of this event at Rainbow Chinese Restaurant in south Minneapolis was cooking seasonally using farmers market produce.
Rainbow Chinese restaurateur Tammy Wong is truly remarkable; not only has she successfully operated her restaurant for over 20 years while being a working mom, she is active in her neighborhood, a vocal supporter of the Minneapolis Farmers Market and is focused on using local, seasonal ingredients for her Asian menu items. What better place to test my new greens knowledge?
Chicken egg rolls served with a variety of lettuces and herbs, including spearmint, peppermint, basil, shiso leaf, fish mint and Vietnamese coriander
Fried soft tofu coated with cornstarch and sprinkled with five-spice salt, on a bed of blanched baby Asian greens, including mustard greens, choy sum and Shanghai baby bok choy
Cold sesame noodles with fresh pea shoots [Note that Tammy has a recipe for stir-fried pea shoots, along with many other seasonal recipes on her restaurant's website.]

/dev/sdb2), while on it? (
/dev/sdbis a 1TB USB hard disk,
/dev/sdb2is of size 100GB)
- If not, can I do it using a live cd? Will the cloned partition on external drive be bootable?
- If it is not bootable, how to do that?
Why want to do that ? : Need to carry the cloned external drive than the laptop itself, with all the installed (& customized) programs and data.

Nestled in one of New York City's oldest neighborhoods, The Crest is unique in its perfect harmony of classic form and modern function. Designed by the noted New York architects Delano and Aldrich, the Wall and Hanover Building, erected in 1928, was originally constructed as the headquarters for the oldest and largest partnership bank in the country, Brown Brothers Harriman & Co.
