As a beginner programmer I've only worked with programming computer based applications, but a question has been coming to my head very often since I started programming and I can't get it answered properly.
Machines don't act on their own, that's the programmer's job, he tells it what to do and when to do it, but my curiosity lies beneath computers. I'll take the examples of an ATM software on this post but keep in mind there are many others such as a washing machine display, or a TV, mobile phone, you name it.
How exactly is the software for these kind of machines built? I imagine it can't be identical to computer-based programming. What language do they use to make such things work and how does one get the job done? Are there programmers specialized on this kind of programming? What is the process of making these machines come to life?

TEMPLE (October 10, 2012)-Temple homeowners can apply to receive a free tree from the Temple Parks and Leisure Services Department through the A Tree for Me program.
A Tree for Me aims to help place trees across the city.
More than 100 trees will be given away on October 20.
"Trees can provide shade, reduce overall air conditioning costs for your home, and benefit the environment. Our goal is to build more of a tree canopy in Temple," Temple Arborist Val Roming said .
Trees offered this year include: Crepemyrtle, Bald Cypress, Chinquapin Oak, Texas Mountain Laurel, Live Oak, Possumhaw Holly, Red Bud, Red Oak, and Vitex trees.
All of the trees are grown at the City Tree Farm and are drought tolerant and native Texas trees.
The Tree Farm was established as part of a 2005 Texas Forestry Services grant.
The trees given away for A Tree for Me are about four years old.
Officials say it is best if participants can bring a pick-up truck or trailer to take the tree home.
Applications are available at the Parks and Leisure Services facilities and can be downloaded online.
For more information, visit the Temple Trees website, or call Val Roming at (254) 298-5401.

Issue Date:
March, 2009
The March 2009 issue of School Reform News opens with a report on California's continuing budget crisis, which has some observers fearing multibillion-dollar education budget cuts. Also in this issue:
- A Florida court has ruled charter schools in the state can be authorized only by local school districts, whose administrators often view them as threats.
- Public school spending has soared in the past two decades, but student achievement has remained stagnant.
- A study by the state of Florida concluded the state voucher program for low-income students saved taxpayers $38.9 million in 2007-08.
- With 21,000 students on waiting lists to get into Massachusetts charter schools, reform proponents and the Boston Globe are calling for the statewide cap of 120 charter schools to be lifted.
- A statewide poll in Oregon shows support for school choice is strong: 87 percent of parents would choose something other than public schools for their children if they could.
- Having uncovered a local union leader's use of public emails to organize an illegal walkout, a Michigan taxpayer activist group says the record exposes a campaign of deception.

We are trying to connect two Hyper-V VMs through a serial port. Hyper-V exposes the serial port as a named pipe to the host system, and implements the server end of the named pipe. Consequentially, to connect them, we need to write a named-pipe client which connects to both VMs, and copies the data back and forth.
We have written such an application. Unfortunately, this application loses data.
If we connect two hyperterms, and have them exchange data, the transmission sometimes succeeds, but in many cases, the receiving end reports errors, or the transmission just deadlocks. Likewise, if we use the link to run a kernel debugger, it also seems to hang often.
What could be the cause of the data loss? What precautions must be taken when connecting named pipes in such a manner?
Edit: We have worked around the problem, using kdsrv.exe. The COM port of the debuggee continues to be exposed through a named pipe, however, the debugger end talks to kdserv via TCP.


text: It's been a while since I uploaded some tuts on Pokemon characters which is why I am uploading this one now. Here is "how to draw Victreebel", step by step. This poison grass type species is an evolution from Weepinbell. Weepinbell turns into Victreebel when it's exposed to a leaf stone. You might think that this mean looking plant species is huge and it can't get any bigger, but the truth is Weepinbell's final form is Bellsprout. I guess you could say that this species is shaped like a pear with three sets of leaves on the body followed by a long vine from the top of the head. I know there is a ton of Pokemon fans out there which means I know that plenty of you will enjoy drawing Victreebel. Adios amigos!

As the title states, I am looking for a flag script, explained below:
It should be like any video site flag script: click the small grey flag once, it becomes colored and you cannot click it again. It should be done in ajax as I don't want my user to have his page reloaded (and all activity restarted) just because he made the mistake of flagging an item on my site.
The php behind should not add multiple flags from the same user - i though it would be a good idea if it checked for a cookie, if not set -> increment field in MySQL and set cookie, if set ->ignore.
This is really urgent, as I am a total noob at ajax and Javascript and I need it done by Tuesday...
The reason I need this is that I really want to know how it's done because a project that we are studying at school has something similar and my homework is to think of a solution that would accomplish the same thing, without looking at the initial source code. I thought of a solution but don't have the time to implement it because this week as well as the next one, I have a ton of exams and I really don't want to miss any...
Thanks in advance for any help you give me!

Pure, natural raw sweetie will be the method every type of darling commences. Oahu is the very best sweetie to consume or even consume for health functions, though it can alter it's physical appearance as soon as it has been extracted from it's framework.
Actually uncooked honey has not been interfered within any way which is how all sorts of sweetie begins. There's no nutritional value in order to visit website , this is just a chemical to be averted!
Purchasing raw sweetie from the nearby beekeeper isn't always feasible; however there are lots of neighborhood maqui berry farmers markets that it can be found through.
Actually that's not usually feasible, so how must you receive hold of this as well as which if you undertake when purchasing from a shop or even retailer? They are able to appear different in look.
At times it might are already stretched by the bee-keeper to eliminate any kind of allergens associated with plant pollen or even Propolis to make it appear a little more clear. Nonetheless, true raw honey is likely to consist of these kinds of beneficial components which is the best way to purchase and also take in this. Don't allow this particular deter you if you notice deposit inside the vessel, better still look for a neighborhood bee-keeper as soon as it is possible to if possible.
As soon as raw sweetie may be extracted from the actual honeycomb framework it's very prone to change in physical appearance. The thing that was once a gold drippy water often modifications directly into a thing that looks cloudy and at instances really hard, not necessarily dripping or even gold at all!
You will find exceptions, the greater the fructose content material the much more likely it'll remain drippy to look at. But these are certainly not automatically the best. Let us take a peek at various kinds of uncooked sweetie in order that you will have a much better comprehension of them.
Some types of honey will firm up accepting a virtually wet sugar effect. This is not even attempt to be worried about it really indicates it provides a increased glucose percentage to be able to fructose. It is usually the most effective type of honey regarding spreading.
Others are defined as whipped or even creamed; this really is regularly completed deliberately by a few darling suppliers. Just a little immortalized sweetie will probably be put into a runnier 1 and merely whipped together. Many individuals prefer the feel of the form of darling.
Mono-floral, Solitary variety or even Artisanal will be the brands given to the sort of natural darling which is produced from largely just one source of nectar. An infrequent form of sweetie and the kind usually produced from nectar source of greater than 51%.
Multi-floral may be the form of sweetie you might be prone to see upon those go shopping shelving. This may be also referred to as a crazy floral kind of honey because the darling bees will certainly acquire nectar from the selection of various plants and flowers. Be cautious though, locate a tag in which states it really is 100% pure sweetie.
Many surprisingly sweetie isn't always nice in order to flavor! There are lots of darling varieties company, many of them are sweet. Nevertheless a leading example of 1 sweetie selection that isn't, is one that belies its title!
Blood Tree Honey, you now would certainly believe that judging by its name, this might style of nice ripe strawberries. You'd be wrong; this particular uncooked honey selection is made from the particular nectar regarding plants which carry more than a transferring similarity in order to strawberries but usually likes very sour and smoky!
No matter which form of uncooked sweetie you choose make sure to select a top quality 1 and eat or drink it each day to savor as well as reap the benefits of.

Justices Show Reluctance for Broad Marriage Ruling
WASHINGTON—Two days of arguments on same-sex marriage revealed a Supreme Court uneasy about making sweeping moves on gay rights and holding doubts about whether the cases belonged before the justices at all.
The arguments also brought to life more familiar fissures between the court's liberal and conservative wings. On Wednesday, liberal justices suggested that a 1996 federal law denying benefits to lawfully married same-sex couples was motivated by animus against gays, while Chief Justice John Roberts, a conservative, challenged assertions that gays and lesbians need judicial protection from repressive majorities.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, seen as a pivotal vote, gave gay-marriage proponents some hope by suggesting the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act might infringe on states' rights to make their own marriage rules. That suggested at least five justices—Justice Kennedy plus the court's four liberals—might be ready to strike down the law.
But questions about whether the court could properly hear the case made it hard to predict any outcome.
Decisions are expected by late June on the Defense of Marriage Act case as well as the case the court heard Tuesday on California's 2008 voter initiative prohibiting same-sex marriage.
The arguments highlighted a point in common between the two cases. Normally, federal courts require two adverse parties before they can decide a case. Strikingly, however, both the federal and state governments agree with the plaintiffs that the challenged laws are unconstitutional, and have declined to defend them on appeal.
Other groups have stepped in to defend the laws banning gay marriage—the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives for the Defense of Marriage Act and the private citizens who officially sponsored Proposition 8.

- Preview: Mixed Outcome Possible
But justices of different ideological stripes were wary of litigants without clear legal standing, even though advocates on both sides were eager for vindication in a roiling culture war.
"I can't think of another instance where that's happened," said Justice Stephen Breyer, a liberal, referring to the House's intervention in the federal marriage law case. "I'm afraid of opening that door."
The Obama administration calls the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional, agreeing with the ruling of lower federal courts. Nonetheless, it asked the Supreme Court to approve those rulings, an additional level of review Deputy Solicitor General Sri Srinivasan said reflected the administration's "respect" for the judiciary's role.
Chief Justice Roberts called that stance "totally unprecedented," in one of several remarks criticizing the Obama administration.
If the justices decide that neither the Obama administration nor the House had reason to bring the federal marriage case before the high court, that would keep in place two lower-court rulings nullifying the law.
Although it would create no precedent on sexual-orientation discrimination, such an outcome likely would lead the Obama administration to cease enforcement of the Defense of Marriage Act, effectively extending federal marriage benefits to same-sex spouses in states that recognize such status, currently nine plus the District of Columbia, as well as for spouses of federal employees. Moreover, more than 1,000 federal laws in some way affect people based on marital status.
A similar outcome in the Proposition 8 case, finding that the initiative's sponsors lack standing to appeal a federal district court ruling, would nullify California's gay marriage ban without providing the U.S. Supreme Court's guidance on the core constitutional issues.
Should the justices take that path, they will defer their own entry into the culture wars over marriage, perhaps for years. And when the next same-sex marriage case arrives, a national consensus on the issue could be clearer. To be sure, the justices could end up brushing aside the concerns about legal standing and end up ruling on the merits of the case. Even then, the court seemed to lean toward cautious language rather than a ringing declaration about the Constitution's guarantee of equal protection as applied to gays and lesbians.
Roberta Kaplan, the lawyer challenging the Defense of Marriage Act, argued that gays were the type of long-oppressed minority group that the court has traditionally acted to protect.
"No other group in recent history has been subjected to popular referenda to take away rights that have already been given or exclude those rights, the way gay people have," Ms. Kaplan said. "Until 1990, gay people were not allowed to enter this country."
But Chief Justice Roberts didn't accept that assertion.
"You don't doubt that the lobby supporting the enactment of same sex-marriage laws in different states is politically powerful, do you?" he told Ms. Kaplan. "As far as I can tell, political figures are falling over themselves to endorse your side of the case."
Justice Elena Kagan quoted from a House report from 1996 when Congress passed the Defense of Marriage Act. The report said the law was intended "to express moral disapproval of homosexuality," she said, eliciting a gasp from the spectators' gallery.
"If that's enough to invalidate the statute, then you should invalidate the statute," replied lawyer Paul Clement, who was defending the law. But the motivations of lawmakers shouldn't matter, he continued, if the measure was justifiable for other reasons, such as establishing a uniform definition of marriage for federal benefit purposes.
When Justice Kennedy expressed concerns about the Defense of Marriage Act, he did so on grounds of states' rights, not equal protection. The law poses a "real risk of running in conflict with what has always been thought to be the essence of the state police power, which is to regulate marriage, divorce, custody," Justice Kennedy told Mr. Clement.
Mr. Clement disagreed, saying that the law simply clarified the meaning of marriage for federal purposes, without supplanting separate state law.
And on this point, Mr. Clement's principal adversary, Solicitor General Donald Verrilli, agreed. Typically for government lawyers, Mr. Verrilli resisted conceding that the federal government categorically lacked authority to legislate in a particular field.
Mr. Verrilli repeatedly tried to lead the discussion into the Constitution's equal-protection principles, only to be drawn back by justices who were seeking other grounds to evaluate the law.

Corrections & Amplifications
The 'Shifting Support' chart had incorrect figures with an earlier version of this article. It incorrectly said 32 current members of Congress voted against the bill (31 Democrats, one independent) and 99 for it (40 Democrats, 59 Republicans), with 32 of those now supporting same-sex marriage. The correct figures are 29 voted against (28 Democrat, one independent) and 87 for (36 Democrats, 51 Republicans), with 29 of those now supporting same-sex marriage.

Many interesting points here..
I agree that it is too easy for anyone to make and release a pet.
And while I do test to death anything I release, I am surely not a 'guru'.
I have gone back and found major flaws in things that, with my limited skill at the time, I thought were fine.. (Nothing that would wipe a partition, thank God, but still flawed.) But that is how I learn, from my mistakes..
As a musician, I learned that everyone makes mistakes, its how we recover from, and learn from them, that sets one apart..
What you describe is a modular self inclusive system. Like Tinycore, which I also like a lot.. However, my attempts to build Puppy from TC taught me a few things.. I was successful at building a Pup from TC packages, however, it was rather basic, and still weighed in at around 370mb.. The point of symlinks, as I see it, is to avoid having the same libs in several different places at the same time. However, I agree that some housekeeping is definitely in order, as it has turned, in some Pups, into a 'spaghetti nightmare' of cross linked libs, and links to libs that simply are not there..
I never realized that till I tried to build an Archpup.. Since there was no blueprint, no example to go by, I started from scratch, and quickly found that Puppy symlinks damn near everything.. (IE busybox). Maybe a standardized set of base libs between Pups would help, IDK..
I stand here a relative novice amongst masters. My 'skill set' doesnt compare to most of you, and I have always been fully aware of that.
That is why I have 17 frugal installs to test on, hoping to cover all the bases.. But my lack of knowledge has led me to some unique answers, although maybe not the 'best' answers.. (IE my use of 'filemnt' in MultiPup which other, smarter coders have provided an improved fix for.)
We are all friends here, hence the jabs.. We all have a common goal, but maybe different ideas on the road there.. Hell, Ive gotten in a lot deeper than this on many occasions.. But I can admit I am just a hack..
So I normally dont let it get to me.. I am a midget amongst giants..
Even I am surprised that I got offended for a minute..
We speak freely here, and that can sometimes be abrasive. But you would have to really try hard to truly offend in this forum.. (IE Ecomoney is still here...
I think Micko`s point was that beating that dead horse will open up doors we cannot close.. I personally cannot run as anything but root, and yes, it is Puppy`s fault.. But I find the task of elevating oneself to superuser, or SU/SUDO, to be so easy as to render the user/superuser debate invalid..
So, as my Aussie friends might say, its all good mate..
Perhaps a pet testing sandbox before release? A thread to post them to, for the 'guru`s' to test first, before they are allowed into the general forum?
I can think of a few I have tried that did some damage, IE a GUI for wbar that overwrote my xinitrc, addending every line.. And maybe a way for the pet spec file to specify which pups the pet has been tested on, as many things will work, for example on Lupu that wont work on Slacko, IE, my MultiPup...
Certainly Puppy has some inherent flaws, because it is unlike any other Linux distro out there, and being cutting edge sometimes means being 'non-compliant'. Also, there is a constant struggle between being Dev friendly, and being User friendly.. Not to mention that many here struggle between being Users and being Dev`s... Maybe it is good to be easy to make a pet, but should be a bit harder to release to the public..
I was at first thrown by the turn my thread had taken, but now I am glad to see it is sparking ideas that may serve the community in general..
Please continue...

BusyBox uses links to access the exec. code inside it.
Barry has to replace some of the links as they don`t work,
this is because BusyBox was not compiled with-for Puppy.
I`ve always thought that there`s no point in using BusyBox for a
Squash file based O.S. like Puppy, it has a useful purpose in a full-install.

This thread is tit'd "5 years". Some of us have been here that long while others have not.
Even then, some of us understand its history, both in and out of the forum; others do not.
There has been much progress and lots of good innovative things have surfaced through the discussion that we have raised in the community. It has expanded everyone involved in those discussion to greater levels of understanding.
WE have much ground to cover in 2013, so lets begin by not missing the forest for the trees.

It's too easy to go that route, and my experience says that's NOT the way to go. Sure, life offers risks, but the more freedom the better...it's what inspires learning. I think that's what the phrase "if you meet the Buddha, kill him" was getting at. I believe I still have a little chess app over in testing at DSL......

Is the overall size of a puppy a problem though? Yes if you want it all in memory at once (and don't have much ram), but not a problem if you only want a small number of modules in ram at any one time surely?
I'm trying to achieve a lightweight puppy that has a small ram footprint, but the ability to load "units" or "modules" into ram one by one, and each module then removed when the job is done.
How well did your TC run? Was it able to load into a machine with low ram? Or was it choked by it's overall size?
I'd be happy to remove any network related modules from ram in order to be able to run a word processor at reasonable speed, and then kill the word proc and reload the network modules if and when I needed them. On my low power machines I don't necessarily need a puppy that multiprocesses. One job at a time would be fine.
Was TC better than puppy at that?

The Unix/Linux architecture is a multi-processing architecture that is architected to handle hi-load ("RAM shortage") situations.
This type architecture has been generally in place for over 50 years. The Linux model works. Should there be enough RAM-Swap-Page present, this situation is usually handled very well....depending of course, which OS and its distro is running. "Very Well" means that it works, not that the user performance is always acceptable for should the system bump against some limitaion, the hardware may not be able to give what the user may desire above what one might consider normal.
For example, since Win2K, the system development model and kernel generation is the same in MS. But, for those who have had a opportunity to review, there is a "marked" difference in say running WinXP with simultaneous users in a single PC (this can easily be done, BTW) versus compared with running Win2003 with the same number of simultaneous users. The desktop responsiveness for each user and the overall system numbers shows that Win2003 far exceeds what is seen on WinXP. In investigation, it turns out that the kernel was gen'd with some parameters which facilitated greater system behavior for the multiple users, than is gotten via a WinXP set up to allow multiple users.
I say this to point to how server performance differs from desktop performance. Its in the kernel(s).
Apple, when Steve Jobs returned from his NEXT system, began OSX development by creating several differing models for porting to the several Apple architectures. This is one of the reasons why their xPhone/xPad do not compare with what is seen in Google's version, even though, each is using Unix-Linux OS. Further, those version again differ from what is seen in desktops. Which even differ again by performance numbers from servers for the same workloads.
To limit Linux tasks management requires kernel manipulation. And, like Apple, it can be done. Further, it may also need system dispatcher process changes as well.
But, the general purpose model(s) that we use, are probably a better way to go for our future, versus, trying to retrofit current technology to our past.
Just one idea. And, I am aware that it is NOT universally shared. But, look around at what the vendors are doing, and it can give some insights to where ...

greengeek; It was me talking about my Tiny Core mod.
TC`s core base O.S. is very small, about 12 MB in size, easy to load to ram.
TC has only vt, editor, and a few other utilities in it`s core ( my thoughts ).
I`d say start with a stripped Puppy, anyone of them will work for a test bed.
Once it`s working like you want then strip a Puppy like Precise and mod it.
My hard part was getting Puppy to boot with no union and other things.
Tiny Core as it is, is already close to the O.S. you`re wanting ( easy mod.).
As I said, many folks have thought and talked of a minimal O.S. like this.
gcmartin`s correct, there`s just no replacement for having enough ram.
A swap ( file or partition ) is just a stop-gap measure for not enough ram.
It slows the PC down and ( like a union ) is just an unneeded complexity.
If you PC has at least 1GB, better 2GB or 4GB, then it doesn`t need a swap,
unless you`re a "power user" that opens 10 or more apps at a time.
Then just make sure your PC has at least 4GB or more of ram ( no swap ).

Programs like Open Office use a lot of RAM to initialize, so a swap file will grab it and free up the RAM for other usage. My laptop has 1 gig of Ram, and if I load OO, I notice 216 K goes right into swap. If I'm using several programs, run a video, load a java app, etc., etc., swap could make a big difference, at least for for a system with 2Gigs or less..but more if you use programs that eat ram. I set my swappiness at 10. Since writing this sentence, my swap is up to 260. Then I load a YouTube video..it's up to 312...

If you set boot options to "nocopy" that might save ram ?
And in the newer pups you can disable a lot by "removing preinstalled packages". Not that they are physically removed, but they do not load ?

OK, my machine has 2gb of ram/ 1gb of swap...
With Firefox with 2 tabs on one desktop, Mtpaint and Rox on another, and the CCSM and Emerald manager on the third, with Compiz and Cairo-dock running with GL and composite enabled..
total used free shared buffers
Mem: 2004704 814224 1190480 0 52572
Swap: 1052252 0 1052252
Total: 3056956 814224 2242732
Swap seems an outdated idea, for the 512mb days, serving older machines.. Why, looking above, would I even need a slow HDD clone of Ram???
Puppies of the Wary type, minimal ram stuff, for a specific era of machine, sure.. But with the average 2 year old machine having 2gb, and new ones 4 to 6, it seems useless..
Am I missing something?

I might be a new guy, but I was born into a trial by fire in linux and Puppy around 5 years ago, I've been on and off for the most part, and was away from the kennels for a long while, but I felt it was time to return, as a new man. I think I remember you from back then puppyluvr.
I can't say much more than that on my past, but over just a few years, my eyes opened to much, and became far more knowledgable of the world. This old dog was once an enthusiastic but somewhat inarticulate puppy, but now you could say I've become weary from battle, but have retired back to the kennels, see what this old timer can still do.
Metaphorically speaking of course, as I can't be that old, and be 19. I'm even doing college for programming.

I really just want to run the core of "puppy 0.9 unleashed" (which was my first trial of puppy), and modify it with the addition of an sfs loader.

I think he is referring to what happens when a system saturates RAM and has no room to expand.
This has for 50 years been a known disaster point. Further, there is some feeling that the system's behavior is somehow compromised when its managing tasks and SWAP happens to be available. From a proven test model, the internal system design of preemptive systems have shown this to not be true in general purpose machines.
I think there is enough information that is taught in most IT curriculum to validate how these models actually work. I understand how one could envision the RAM only approach as all that is needed, but, there are all kinds of other reasons that this is not necessarily a good approach.
Race conditions, out of control bufferings, bad programming, point-in-time application needs, ....
What one could look at is muchly published.
In the Android world, the vendors have chosen that model specific to public use controls. It is purposely limited.
Hope this just gives some insights that we provide understanding.
But, to be fair, ideally, to run any system, swap-page is NOT required no more so than the top of a car is required to drive it. ( I do recognize that our world is not perfect.)

Many people in this forum will agree, I think, with my following note.
I have NOT SEEN a machine in the past 14 years where I could not add RAM beyond the manufacturer's spec. This does NOT mean that you may have one that cannot be expand pass 192MB, It just that I and many of my colleagues have found that we have routinely been able to. Try it, you may be pleasantly surprised.
And, have you investigated the possibility that someone somewhere in your community is throwing out an old computer that is newer and better equipped. If its a money thing, appeal and maybe someone of us with old PCs can work with you to help you along.
Using the car again, as an example, "why drive a car with worn out tires, when there may be a car sitting around that is newer with good tires available for the taking?"
Most of the PUPs over the last 2 years that I am aware of are indicating the size PC that they were designated and tested to run on. Most of the developers have been posting on this.
There are many PUPs designed before the modern PUPs (32bit V5+) came along that were designed with less than 256MB in mind. Are you trying to share that you are using 192MB PC on PUPs designed for 512MB and larger PCs? If you have some problems finding old PUPs for the 192MB PC you have, let me know and I will send you several of the older ISO of older PUPs which were designed for your PC.

Car spawning mod
Can someone make a mod that controls the car spawning... The same "problem" occurs in every GTA game, and I am sick of it..... Let me explain. If you drive around looking some rare car and you finally find it... You go inside and start driving and then Suprise Suprise! Almost every other ped is driving that same "rare" sport car... Not to mention the parking lots are full of the car that you are currently driving....
Does't this bother anyone else!?!
I would be very gratelul to anyone who can make a mod, or tell me what files I must modify to change this annoying "problem"...

I've got an image I'd like to use as the border on a DVD label, which I'm creating in InDesign. The effect would be like the "Type on a path", but with an image instead - preferrably repeated until it comes to the end of the path (or full circle, in this case). How can this be achieved? I tried doing a "Polar coordinates" transform in Photoshop, but that didn't look very good.
Using the Ellipse tool, draw your circle.
Click on your image with the black arrow. Copy.
Click and hold on the Type tool. In the flyout, select Type on a path.
Click on the circle.
Paste. Your image should appear on the circle as an inline graphic.
Keep pasting until you get all the way around.
As another idea: to have almost perfectly and effotlessly achieved even spaces between your symbols, place them as Lauren suggested, but add a space before each one like that: "_s_s_s_s" (_ – space, s – symbol). Then select your "text" and in paragraph options set alignment to "justify all". Some minor kerning adjustment may be required after the first space character.

YORKVILLE - A pair of teams looking to get untracked meet Friday night at World War II Memorial Stadium as Buckeye Local (1-1) rolls out the red - er, blue - carpet for John Marshall (0-2).
This has been an air-tight series in the past, with neither team able to take complete control. What this week holds in store, only time will tell.
The Panthers are coming off a 24-6 victory last Saturday against Westinghouse, Pa., while the Monarchs were beaten the same day, 31-20 on the road at Bellaire.
''We've seen them three times,'' John Marshall coach Rick Goodrich said. ''Cambridge in an early scrimmage, against Utica and then Westinghouse. They've gotten a lot better since the first time we've seen them.
''Coach (Phil) Pest and those guys are doing great job with their kids.''
Buckeye Local, despite its victory, would no doubt like to get its offense going. Westinghouse limited the Panthers to 103 yards of offense - 62 rushing, 41 passing. Defensively, Pest credited one of his freshmen, Dylan Dokes, as a big reason the Panthers won.

Pest thinks the offensive side of the ball will pick it up now that it knows who is running the show.
''We've settled in there at quarterback with Nathan Kirk,'' Pest said. ''And we got a lot of good time out of our fullback.''
Kirk threw a 12-yard touchdown to Shane Duncan, ran one in from 1 yard and Andy Stock took a punt back 74 yards for another score.
''It's really good to see Andy Stock running at full force again. He's coming off that ACL surgery and when he gets in the open field, he can be fun to watch,'' Pest said.
Goodrich isn't so much worried about the open field. He figures Buckeye is going to try to punch the Monarchs in the mouth on both sides of the ball.
''They notoriously have tough kids over there,'' Goodrich said. ''They're a physical team that gets to the ball.
''Westinghouse is pretty athletic and quick and Buckeye's defense shut them down.''
Goodrich says the Monarchs are making progress, and he points to the latter stages against the Big Reds.
''We were watching film. It's late in the fourth quarter and we had seven and eight players running to the ball,'' he said. ''The kids fought back and battled adversity.
''We made great strides. Saturday we played with a lot of heart.''
Offensively, the Monarchs were led by R.J. Kibert's 96-yard rushing effort, despite a tweaked hamstring. The surprise, according to the coach, was Jacob Wood who rushed for 81 yards and a score on 17 carries.
''He ran the ball hard against Bellaire and had good vision,'' Goodrich said. ''He's going to continue to get more carries.''
Pest believes the Monarchs are going to line up and run the football, but he's not sleeping on Jeremiah Fromhart, JM's quarterback.
''I think John Marshall can give you problems,'' Pest said. ''They have a nice big line and they're not going to throw it much, but when they do he will go deep.
''We have to stop the iso and spread it and throw it a little bit.''

We often see new users make offtopic, low quality posts, with broken English and cries for help. Their posts look significantly different than most post on SO.
When I worked in publishing, we would frequently receive documents that were incorrectly formatted. This was a major problem and we wasted a lot of time sending emails back and forth.
I made a small JavaScript quiz asking our authors about the formatting directions and the number of emails with us asking for different formats drastically dropped. I felt this was much nicer than simply rejecting them, additionally providing us a chance to make the directions more clear.
It is slightly unconventional but, would showing new users a quiz where they have to identify good and bad posts help solve the problem?

Multiple Sclerosis Health Center
FDA Warns of Tysabri Liver Risk
Feb. 27, 2008 -- The FDA today announced that Tysabri, a drug used to treat multiple sclerosis and Crohn's disease, has a new warning about possible risk of liver injury.
Doctors should tell patients about the risk and stop Tysabri in patients with jaundice or other signs (such as lab tests) of significant liver injury, according to a letter sent to doctors by Tysabri's marketers, the drug companies Biogen Idec and Elan.
Tysabri's new warning notes postmarketing reports of patients taking Tysabri who developed liver injury, including markedly elevated blood levels of liver enzymes and high levels of bilirubin. Bilirubin is made when red blood cells break down. Too much bilirubin can cause jaundice.
Some of those patients experienced liver injury as early as six days after starting Tysabri. Others developed liver injury later, after getting multiple doses of Tysabri, which is a biologic drug given by health care professionals at infusion centers.
Tysabri Timeline
The FDA first approved Tysabri in November 2004 for the treatment of multiple sclerosis.
In February 2005, Biogen Idec and Elan took Tysabri off the market after three people out of about 3,000 patients taking Tysabri in clinical trials developed a rare, serious brain infection called progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). Two of those patients died.
In March 2006, researchers reported no new cases of PML in patients who took Tysabri before the drug's suspension. An FDA panel unanimously recommends returning Tysabri to the market.
In June 2006, the FDA allowed Tysabri back on the market under a restricted distribution program -- and with a "black box" warning (the FDA's sternest warning) about PML risk -- for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis.
On Jan. 14, 2008, the FDA approved Tysabri for the treatment of Crohn's disease.
On Feb. 7, 2008, The New England Journal of Medicine published a letter from researchers who noticed that two multiple sclerosis patients developed malignant melanoma, a form of skin cancer, soon after starting Tysabri treatment. Both patients had moles that became malignant after they started Tysabri treatment. But it's not clear if Tysabri was responsible for that.

By far the most prominent elementary relations that are not functions are binary and the most prominent elementary ternary relations are in fact binary functions.
"Elementary" shall mean "part of the signature of a first-order theory".
The most prominent ternary relation that comes to my mind is the betweenness relation in geometry.
I am looking for examples from all over mathematics of elementary ternary relations that are not binary functions (resp. the corresponding theories).
Examples of elementary quaternary relations are also welcome!

this doesn't work....error reads this coupon has already been used
It worked fine for me just now. When placing the order it repeatedly shows an empty box for coupon code, but as long as the discount is showing then you can ignore that.
You can also enter the code YOURDEAL and it takes 30% off. And you can combine it with other sale offers-- such as a lot of the vitamins are BOGO and others are 25%. You can add the 30% off coupon on top of that. Just scored 4 bottles of glucosamine chondroitin MSM for $51 including shipping. Not too bad considering it's normally $30+ a bottle.
Did the Best Buy coupon author get a new job at CVS?

Example sentences
- The Croats and Muslims use the Roman alphabet to write Serbo-Croatian, while the Serbs use the Cyrillic alphabet.
- They translated the radio jingle into Albanian, Macedonian, Serbo-Croatian, and Serbian.
- Today each of the republics of the former Yugoslavia use their own language, but they are all Slavic languages similar to Serbo-Croatian.
Relating to Serbo-Croat.
Example sentences
- As one of the three Serbo-Croat speakers attached to the British contingent of the force, his role was to act as the principal military negotiator with the Bosnian Serb leadership on behalf of the UN.
- What's it supposed to be, some type of Serbo-Croatian shorthand?

Generating function of the simple Hurwitz numbers is known to be connected with Gromov-Witten potential of the point (Kontsevich $\tau$-function) (see e.g. Ian Goulden, David Jackson and Ravi Vakil). On the other side Virasoro constraints are known to play an imporatant role in the Gromov-Witten theory, in particular for the point.
Is there known the set of Virasoro constraints for the generating function of simple (or double) Hurwitz numbers? Any ideas why it should (or should not) exist?

- BSO Case Number: WS02-1-890
- PIO Number: 02-1-17
- Date: January 12, 2002
- Time: 0355
- Place of Occurrence: 16523 Sapphire Street, Weston
- Christopher Bailey, 31, 8/11/70, male, 16523 Sapphire Street, Weston
- Three unidentified males
Description of Incident:
Broward Sheriff's Office detectives are seeking the public's help in locating a Weston man who was abducted from his home early Saturday morning.
Just before 4 a.m., Simone Stewart went outside the residence she shares with her brother, Christopher Bailey, located at 16523 Sapphire Street in a subdivision of Emerald Estates. As she approached the front door of her residence after moving her vehicle, she was apprehended by three armed masked men and forced inside the house.
Once inside, the unidentified suspects roused the other victims and ransacked the residence. The two young children, home at the time, were not injured. The suspects tied up the other three victims, one of who is Bailey's girlfriend. The masked men removed 31-year-old Bailey, a paraplegic, from the home then fled the gated community in an unknown vehicle.
Detectives continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the home invasion and abduction. Anyone with information on this case is urged to call the Broward Sheriff's Office at (954) 765-4321.

On my last visit to Perth back in 2010 the charms of 399 won me over. The relatively new bar had the perfect mix of service, style and character. On my return to Perth it's Five, from the same team that once again impresses.
Set amongst the sprawl of bars on Beaufort Street our taxi driver isn't quite sure which bar we are talking about. Luckily I have the Meister, to guide us to Five. It's a bigger venue than 399 but the service and charm isn't diluted. Our barman is nothing short of excellent, pouring water as we take a seat at the bar, offering a small sample of the Feral IPA when we show interest and shares his knowledge of the beer being served. This would have scored highly with me alone. Then comes the clincher. We are directed to the bottled list which is more than just a handful of big name European beers and a few Aussies for good measure, which I've seen alot elsewhere. It's a great list whether you are looking to keep it local or want to taste the wares of a who's who of European brewing (i'm particularly excited to find Mikkeler) – it's the best of both worlds.
It's Victoria's Mountain Goat, Hightail Ale for me and a taste of Scotland for Meister with a Brewdog 5am Saint.
Further visits to Five only go to cement my view that this is a true Perth gem. Our barman Shane, recognises me from the previous visit, talks confidently about the beer and is able to make local recommendations. You may want to ask him to do his "London walk". It's pretty accurate.
With Feral's Hop Hog IPA on tap and Jerry Fraser, Perth's Oyster King in residence there's no choice opn our final visit but to settle in for a Sunday Session.
Five, Beaufort Street, Mount Lawley, Perth

I have the interface from hell.
Years of choosing and discarding mods until I have the functionality I desire have left my screen cluttered and confusing.
This is the real reason I play a Gnome, at least I can see a little bit of WoW real estate.
Back in the days when I toyed with complete interfaces they were fraught with hours of configuration and incompatible addons. By the time I would get it barely functioning a new WoW patch would come out and I was back to square one.
I know things have improved, but I have never found the time to research, download and configure one, for one character, let alone the half dozen I check up on from time to time.
So I am putting out the call to my readers.
- What do you use and why?
- Can I download it from somewhere and install it in 30-60 minutes?
- Is it easily configurable?
- Will it handle the raft of macros I live and die by?
- Will it allow a Tauren to run about and see more than the curve of it's horns?
I know there is way to "fool" WoW into thinking it really has less realestate for the display of the landscape, while still allowing the display of toolbars etc… what/how?
I use a truck load of macros… I pretty much modify most spells I cast… so need to be able to put macros in rather than stock standard blizzard icons… which I guess means I am looking for an action bar replacement as well…
Here is a list of addons I currently use. Are they (or their equivalent) catered for?
"Must haves" (like them, or something like them, but preferably them):
- Auctioneer Advanced.
- Cartographer
- CT_MailMod / MailTo/ Postal/ Postman
- FlightMap
- FuBar including (ChatAlertsFu, ClockFu, DurabilityFu, FriendsFu, FuXPFu, GroupFu, GuildFu, HonorFu, MailFu, MoneyFu, NavigatorFu, OutfitterFu, PerformanceFu, QuestsFu, ReagentFu, ToFu, TransporterFu)
- Omen
- OneBag3/OneBank3
- Outfitter
- PartySpotter
- Prat
- Quartz
- QuestGuru
- QuestHelper
- RatingBuster
- Recount
- Skillet
- TellMeWhen
- TrinketMenu
- WhoHas
- XPerl
- Scrolling Combat Text (SpellAlert, Damage)
Nice to haves (or, I will install them no matter how bad the interface ends up looking… probably)

Edit: Ohhh… I did find the Fiery Assult UI for Mages last night while checking out A Mage's Guide to Life but the probelm is screen resolution, so I don't know whether it is easily configurable….

WACO (November 16, 2012)--A $25,000 grant from the Waco Foundation's Masterson Fund will benefit a new Scott & White Cancer Center in Waco.
The grant will be used to expand cancer diagnostic and treatment technologies at the center at the Scott & White Cancer Center – Hillcrest.
Construction on the building began earlier this month and should be complete in about a year.
The $19.5 million center will offer patients outpatient cancer treatments including radiation therapy, medical oncology and infusion chemotherapy.
The 34,000-square-foot facility will have treatment areas, a CT simulator, 20 therapy rooms with a scenic garden view, patient consultation rooms and space for cancer care education and support programs.
The new facility will be located on the Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center campus near the frontage road at the corner of south I-35 and State Highway 6.
$4,127,958 has been raised from 880 donors for the new center.
