The IPC's Ben Winograd was quoted in a Washington Post article about the deportation of Legal Permanent Residents:
The difference between Khoy and others whose youthful indiscretions led to criminal charges is that she was not born in America. The consequences can be catastrophic.
"There is a misconception among some immigrants that once they have a green card they can no longer be deported, and that's simply not true," said Ben Winograd, staff attorney at the American Immigration Council, an immigrant advocacy organization in the District. "All it takes is one criminal conviction. Regardless of whether it results in jail time, it can be the basis for deportation."

Oh My Failing Grades!! Way too much cuteness here! Must restrain myself from buying everything!

Grr! No Kawaii viruses on a short sleeved shirt but at least I can get my Cuteness OVerload finally. Super happy!
Though I wouldn't have minded a little Fresh Cake, yanno!
Yay! Now I can wear a Settler Cats hoodie with the matching shirt and tote bag that I already own!
Mods: Viral Kawaii Pullover Hoodi could use an "e." Unless the "e" is in quarantine?
[MOD: We try to let the 'e' out now and then but this one seems to have vamoosed. I'v rportd it.]
I have been waiting for in the library with a wrench since it was reckoned. getting both long and short sleeve.
I just want to huggle Cerberus...Of course I could just buy that shirt and then huggle myself. ^_^

Haunted Housework Remix
Since it's a remix, it's technically zero. This one has a different SKU so the totals won't be combined with the original. The original sold 4790.

Thank you so much, TT! With the new system, sales numbers are hidden until the first purchase, which is why I couldn't pull them for ITLWAW and Moped Diaries; I know Haunted Housework is a remix (so closing numbers won't be available for it), but I figured I'd post the baseline from the last time it was offered - but Narfcake only had the number from noon on the day it was Reckoned, not the final sales number.
Bleeeerrrg. I thought for sure Lament of the Kiwi would be included in the cuteness overload. Am I the only one in the world who remembers this shirt???
Again with the no lightweight zip-up hoodies? And I would have purchased just about any one of these on one of those. Are the lightweight zip-up hoodie days gone? Should I begin shopping elsewhere for one of those?

I thought the Haunted House Remix was sold once before, if the "remix" means it is glow in the dark - I mean I have it in my drawer.
Pretty disappointed there is no Cupcakeosaur
Yay! I always lamented missing Pup in Training and now I can get it in both short and long sleeve. It shall be mine.
No Acquired Taste on a t-shirt? My daughter lost hers and I've been trying to get a replacement. It was probably her favorite Woot! shirt.
Glad to see Knock, Knock again. Trying to decide if I need another copy. (Or for that matter where I put mine)
Pup in Training isn't in either type of hoodie? What gives? That would be an awesome hoodie.
umm, is it just me, or is the "buy" button broken? the hover-over shows a recursive link

Nooooooooooooooooooo D:
My daughter learned to say "Brains" using my Acquired Taste and she is just at the age of learning to say other words like Zombie, I have been wanting to buy her this shirt for her to wear to daycare/school (and teach the other kids)
westz wrote:umm, is it just me, or is the "buy" button broken? the hover-over shows a recursive link
For me, it shows that only if I haven't selected a size; otherwise, it changes to the checkout page.

That makes me feel better. Not that you don't have a shirt for your daughter, but that someone else believes it's a perfectly appropriate shirt for a small person. I got one in the last reprint for my third-grader, and then began worrying that his teachers would disapprove of him traumatizing the younger kids.
Early trauma builds character, I say! Plus, it's not like I'm not a pro at getting those, "This is the school office . . . " calls already.
I would buy about 47 of these side sale designs if they were offered on v-necks.
Again with the not having the long sleeves I want. You are just teasing me woot!!
jennsoto wrote:Pretty disappointed there is no Cupcakeosaur
Or that Naked cupcake, I would love it in a long sleeve
gooseygoose wrote:Or that Naked cupcake, I would love it in a long sleeve
And the Short arm T-rex from a couple weeks ago. That was all cuteness.
It's really annoying that every product I click on takes me to some tech.woot popup.
So many wants!
I want both of the zip up hoodies but how far does the hood go down in the back? It would be kind of pointless to buy a $30 hoodie if the design is just going to be covered.
Oh no! Please say haunted housework will be coming out in larger sizes. Pretty-cute-please?...
Can you guys please make a pup in training hoodie... I am so in love with the design LOL
I have this picture on the t shirt and i get tons of comments on it! I love the shirt and it really is cute!
I work in a public health lab and can think of many here who would love Viral Kawaii, me included. However, we need it on a t-shirt to be able to wear it more than two months out of the year; this is Texas! Somehow I missed that one the first time around.
does anyone know what company woot uses for the zip up hoodie blanks?
Oh, how I wish that Haunted Housework was on a long sleeve tee. It's the perfect Halloween shirt design, but by the time the end of October rolls around here it's far too nippy to wear a t-shirt.
I guess I'll just have to get the Acquired Taste hoodie too, and have the cutest Halloween ever.
Awesome job getting four unique designs in the cute side sale Spiritgreen. Somehow I imagine your hometown must be the cutest place in the world like a scene from a Disney film.
It surprises me that the thread would fill up with requests for designs and garments that aren't available this week. Some of those requested have already been seen in previous side sales and woot is sure to be making many of the others available in future sales.
Totes would have been up for a that's how i roll pullover. Guessing the hoodie colour works out.
My random hoodie from a couple weeks ago should be here by Friday, crossing fingers for something good.
I would love to buy an Acquired Taste T-Shirt or even a Long Sleeve.... not really feeling the Hoodie though.

I'm planning on building a file server for my home network, and I want to know what I should look out for in building the machine. I was thinking of just building a crappy linux box with a slew of terrabyte hard drives and setting up a samba share. This is a naive setup, but is there more I could do with the machine?
What sort of drives should I purchase? Are fast drives (15+k rpm) worth the cost, over more, slower drives? What kind of case should I look for to optimize air flow and hold the most drive bays? I know I need a server case, but is there something else to look for? Do any server cases come with the easy-slide-in mounts that dell provides? I love those mounts, and with many drives, they could be crucial.
Also, would it be worth upgrading to a 1Gb router to facilitate file transfer? The standard file size for transfer will be anywhere from 700MB-4GB.
With such a big machine (lots of HDs), how do I keep the server relatively quiet? Solid state drives seem cost prohibitive for the space I desire, so what should I do?
Is ext4 the way to go?

Abstract: Closer than We Know: Comparing the Rock Art of Australia and Western North America
Both Australia and the New World were originally colonized by people who brought with them rich spiritual and symbolic systems. These people successfully adapted to major environmental changes, and these adaptations may be reflected in the paintings and engravings they left on cliff faces and on shelter walls. Despite being a world apart, there are a surprising number of parallels in the production, evolution, and context of rock art on the two continents. Viewing rock art with a global perspective highlights both the similarities and the differences of people surviving under similar circumstances. This lecture will investigate the rock art of both continents, focusing on environmental and cultural context, ethnography, and current research trends.

Tis the season of shorter days, cooler nights and all things fall, including a sign of the season - apples.
Those with a hankering for apple fare should plan to attend this weekend's Wellsburg Applefest, beginning Friday at the town square and Charles Street. The 35th festival will continue through Sunday. The festival annually celebrates the area's connections to both the Grimes Golden apple and the legend of Johnny Appleseed, and there's always plenty of apple goodies available, including pies, fritters, apple butter and cider.
We can't forget the baking competitions either. There's the Anything Apple baking contest set for 1 p.m. Sunday, and it will include a variety of apple dishes, with everything from cakes to pies to cookies to applesauce vying for a prize.
There's much more though, with lots of entertainment. There's the Applefest Queen contest on Saturday and a variety of fall-themed activities like a pumpkin carving contest. There will be amusement rides for children as well.
A highlight of this year's festival is the appearance of Anna Egan Smucker, a Weirton native and author of "Golden Delicious: A Cinderella Story," who will speak at 1 p.m. on Saturday at the Brooke County Museum and Cultural Center on Charles Street.
The Wellsburg Applefest is a true Ohio Valley tradition, and we are sure it will, once again, be a true success.
Apple lovers also may want to take in another area festival this weekend, as the Hickory Apple Festival gets under way.
Events Saturday and Sunday at the Mount Pleasant Volunteer Fire Department grounds on state Route 50 in Hickory Pa., will include entertainment, crafters, bobbing for apples and even more homemade apple dishes.

How do you label your micro sd cards?
I use micro sd cards for audiobooks on my Sansa clip+s. I bought this sd card holder in order to organize them and know which books are on which cards. By labelling the card slot and making a list of books that go with each slot, I figured I'd be able to keep track of where to find a particular book. But the darn things just slip out of the sd card holder slots. How should I label the cards themselves so that I can keep track of what's on each one?
28 Answers answer
Sharpie pen. Silver or white is best.
@olperfesser: I was wondering if anyone would suggest that. I've used a yellow & it doesn't show at all (except sometimes a slightly shiny surface in the right lighting). I don't have any white or silver but will certainly look into that! Thanks!
Is there a reason you want to keep the books intact on the cards long term? I think it would make more sense to keep the books on a hard drive and copy what you want to SD when you need it.
@samstag: There are a number of reasons. These are Audible books that have drm and can only be put on X number of devices, X number of computers, and each needs to be registered, using their software. So I can't just back up the books to my external hard drive. In the past I just left things on a pc and transferred to a device as needed, and then the pc crashed and I'd have to go download them again. Also, if I like a book, I'll listen to it any number of times, especially using them to sleep at night (if you listen to the same books regularly, they put you to sleep). I like to just pop in the book I'm in the mood to listen to, especially when travelling, where I don't always have a pc handy (as in my car).
@olperfesser: Other than the little gold bars, is everywhere else on the card okay to write on?
@samstag: This is a question I am interested in because the main reason I have multiple micro sd cards is to take movies, music, photos, audiobooks and ebooks with me on vacation to enjoy on my tablet. I keep them in the little plastic card case with a little note inside saying what's on each, but if they get mixed up I have to be shoving them in and out of the machine to sort them out. I'd like to put a number on each, then I could put the number on the note to match them with their content. When the content on the disc changes, so will the note, but the number will always allow me to relate one to the other. It will also allow me to put multiple cards in the same plastic case.
I agree with sharpie to number the cards and then a little index card or post-it that lists what books are on what cards. Seems like the easiest way to me.
For my cards, I only use SD cards for my camera and have cards of different capacities and different brands, so it's pretty easy to just remember what's on what. But I also clear off the cards fairly often, so keeping track is a short term thing.
Try multi-colored tape. If you can have a list hand, you can have it tell you whats on what card. So one card has a spot of green on it, you know these books are on it, etc.
A lot of non-smart phones can have some sort of text file so whether you've got a smart phone or not, the phone could be a good place to keep the list
All of my cards are kept in the protective 'jewel' cases. I then cut a small piece of ordinary gummed labels, write the identification information on the little piece and stick that on the case. Since the cases are clear all of the suggestions above on marking the card itself can be additional identification.
@olperfesser: i also have a couple of paint pens in bright colors that work the same way. One bright pink paint pen labels all the cards. Haven't had it chip or flake off in the five or six years i've been doing this. They are available in the auto or craft dept of the local box stores. I find that the silver sharpies tend to disappear everytime someone need to label a present regardless of christmas, wedding, birthday, whatever even when tied to the cabinet.
@moosezilla: What's the brand name on your paint pen if you have it handy?
Why do you feel the need to label them? Can't you just let them be who they want to be without any artifical societal restraints?
@moondrake: painters brand (yes that is the name) hunt corportation, statesville, nc
i got it at walmart.
i also occasionally use the ones my hubby got to fix scratches on his van. sorry. he left it wherever it was he set it down, so i don't know the brand.
he paid a lot more than i did at a car shop.
@moosezilla: That's a great idea! I have plenty of fabric paint that should do the trick!
@elforman: Oh, gosh! I'm so embarrassed! Guess I'd better get into some sensitivity training, eh?
@pamfenway: Be careful, fabric paint is massy (it doesn't lay down flat) and doesn't adhere the same way as regular acrylic paint-- it's designed for porous surfaces. When fabric paint has dried on a non-porous surface you can easily peel it up with your fingernail. So it could scrape off into your device when you remove the disc. It also becomes brittle as it ages.
@moosezilla: Great, thanks. Very convenient, as I am headed to Walmart for an optometrist appointment in a couple of hours so I will look for one today. I've been using a yellow grease pencil to mark black foam core for cutting to use as jewelry display backboards, one of these light-colored paint pens would probably be better for that job as well.
@moondrake: Whoa, thanks for pointing that out. Glad I didn't get right to it!
@olperfesser: Silver sharpie is best. And when the pen get to dull (the point) you can use it to label wall warts.
@moondrake: Yes everywhere else on the card okay to write on.
@elforman: Without labels there would be no need to prefer on over the other.
I don't label them, But I did name my 16 gb USB drive "Steve The Removable Drive"
Label maker
@bnbsouthworth: Have you really used a label maker for a micro sd card? Seriously? I'm not being snarky--I've always figured that would not be a good thing to do, worried the label could peel off in the device.
@gideonfrost: Your sd cards must be resentful.
Color coded with nail polish/index cards.
@jsimsace: Another excellent idea! Thanks!
I didn't realize that was something I could do.
@disturbed0ne: Yes see my ans above. It is easy you just cut a little piece of label from any regular size sticker label and voila! You can put that label on the card or on the jewel case. I do not put labels on cards since they have to be inserted in adaptors or a slot in your device and the label may become dislodged and screwup the micro-slot.
@drj48: haha I was making a joke at my own expensive. I know I COULD label them, but I'm rarely organized enough to bother.
The same way you write your name on a grain of rice.
@mikecris: Well, I'm glad that's clarified! :)

I have a lot of computer learning to get through in the next 3 months. Given my current pace of learning and productivity system, I have no chance of succeeding.
The courses are similar to those offered by Coursera right now, some are all CBTs, some have some video lectures with exercises. They are all technical and have "tests" at the end.
How can I comprehensively and thoroughly improve every aspect of my productivity system tailoring it to learning and retention of computer courses delivered over the web?
Any technique, routine, system, useful tool, insight, etc. would be really appreciated. Reference material would be appreciated as well, but I will probably put that specific question to another forum on this network..
Material to learn
- Video lectures (can control playback speed: 1.5x, 2x)
- CBT, connect concepts, find answers, some interactivity to cement learning
- Books, available as PDF
- Slides, available as PPT and PDF (just for revision, all slides are in videos)
- Topic: computer science
- 3 months, give or take a few days (exam dates unannounced)
- Learn material enough to pass the exam (mixture multiple-choice / exercises)
- Multiple exams in the same week (can't just retain one, then another...)
- Laptop computer
- Tablet
- Old graphics tablet (doodling, mind-mapping, handwriting side notes, etc.)
- Very limited money (very!)
- Almost unlimited time in the day, adaptable sleeping pattern
- Flat-rate Internet connection
- All required software already installed, tested, working
- Can use/find quiet place to study, uninterrupted, undisturbed
About me
- Age: in my 30s
- Disposition: tranquil, motivated
- No health problems (e.g. no back pain, ADD, etc.)
- Good memory but below-average patience
- Learn best by reading, understanding, applying concept, moving on (with some revision later on)
- Have been successfully learning in the last years (not "rusty")

'Free' money well spent
The Waterbury Fire Department has been awarded a federal Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response grant. The Republican-American reported Feb. 18 that the department plans to use the $2.9 million grant to hire 18 new firefighters. It would pay salaries and benefits for at least two years. New hires who are military veterans would be covered for three years.
The grant will fill positions left open in recent years by attrition, and increase the number of line firefighters from 198 to 216. Chief David Martin said that until now, the city couldn't afford to replace most of the retired firefighters.

iBooks Widget Project Setup
I use Sencha Animator for iBooks Widgets, and everytime I was to test it, I have to assign a widget name and widget image. Can this be something that is entered once during the project setup, with the ability to modify it in the "export" tab? Each time I do this, it takes only a minute or so, but when you do it more than 20 times a day, that time adds up and decreases productivity. I'd love to see this feature added in the next release
9 Aug 2013 7:30 AM #2
Yes, this would be a big help. Something like the Publish Settings that Flash and Director employ. Some place where we can set these things once and then just push a Publish button or menu item and it builds the widget with the same settings.
12 Aug 2013 4:16 AM #3
Thank you, these are certainly good suggestions. We'll consider it for the future.

Motoman Robotics offers manufacturers a wide range of robotic painting products and technology. Our flexible, high-performance robots increase finishing quality, consistency and throughput, while dramatically lowering operating costs and decreasing wasted material (reduces environmental impact). Our complete line of paint robots provides versatility and superior performance in standard industrial, automotive and aerospace coating and dispensing applications.
Motoman® EPX-series "Expert Paint" robots are designed to optimize performance in general industrial, Tier 1 and automotive applications. They can be used for primer, base coat, finish coat, clear coat and spray dispensing, using water-based, solvent, powder, glaze and glue/adhesive materials. In addition, they can efficiently coat intricate parts with recesses, curved surfaces and picture frame-like shapes. Using a complex spray path, the robot can spray different areas of the part to various film thicknesses without runs or sags.
Motoman paint robots can be programmed to apply coating materials to different areas of the part to various film thicknesses. They are available with a slim and hollow wrist to minimize interference with the workpiece and allow for utilities routing through the robotic arm. Paint robots have a Factory Mutual (FM) Class 1, Div. 1 intrinsically safe (explosion-proof) rating.
Paint Operations
Painting and coating typically consists of multiple operations before and after the actual coating process. While the operations vary with the application, we have listed several of the most common operations below:
Part Fabrication
Before the part is painted, it is often fabricated in another area of the plant or in a separate plant. Our robots are used for a wide range of fabrication operations, including arc welding, spot welding, forming or bending and machining or grinding.
Part Preparation
Parts nearly always require some preparation. This includes finishing the part in a sanding, buffing or polishing process. Parts often need to be cleaned or etched prior to painting. Our application-specific robots are used extensively in all of these operations.
Part Presentation
Presenting parts to robots varies widely from application to application. For paint operations, parts are typically presented in a batch tote, bin or on a flat conveyor. The parts must then be located and placed onto a rack or an overhead conveyor for presentation to the coating equipment
Our MotoSight™ vision products can help locate the parts so that the robot can pick them up precisely and consistently.
Multi-Step Coating Process
The actual coating process is often a multi-step process. Our robots and systems support the following coating processes:
- Single component
- Two component
- Water base
- Electrostatic spray
- Powder coat
- Wax spray
- Undercoating and sound deadener
- Adhesives and sealants
Application of the paint or material varies widely. Below is a list of the applicator types supported by our products:
- Standard spray atomizers, airless and air-assisted airless
- High Volume Low Pressure (HVLP)
- Electrostatic
- Bell gun (rotary atomizers)
- Powder applicators
- Swirl guns
After the coating is applied, it must be cured. This is normally done over time by applying heat or using ultraviolet lamps. The actual curing process is most often done with parts on the same rack or conveyor, just downstream from the coating process.
Part Handling
After the coating is cured, parts can be removed from the rack or conveyor. We have a broad range of material handling robots that can move the parts to the next process.
Next Process
Parts that are coated and cured usually go to the next process which might be kitting, assembly or simply placed into a shipping container. We have a wide range of application-specific robots for the next process.
Vision Inspection
Shipping faulty or defective products can be devastating to a business. Machine vision has a long history in part inspection, ensuring consistent and predictable quality. Whether it's gauging a part, detecting presence of a feature or error proofing, our MotoSight products have all the necessary inspection and data analysis tools for part inspection.
Our robots and automation products can be used in a variety of coating applications resulting in:
- More manufacturing flexibility to produce a wider variety products with faster time-to-market
- Faster changeover times, increased system uptime and asset utilization
- Increased product quality with predictable results with error checking and in-line testing
- Increased productivity with shorter payback
- Optimized workflow designed around your value-added processes, not your fixed automation
- Elimination of expensive and dedicated hard automation
- Ability to redeploy asset, extending return on investment

I've Googled around, and my impression is that
Sql*net message from client
suggests the Oracle DBMS is waiting for the client to send new commands to the DBMS, and therefore any time spent in this event should be client-side time and not consume DB server CPUs. In other words, normally, if a session is in this event, it should be "INACTIVE" rather than "ACTIVE".
What's puzzling to us is that starting from this week (after we started using connection pools [we use dbcp]), we occassionally see sessions in the
Sql*net message from client
event and showing "ACTIVE" at the same time for extended periods of times. And during all this time, CPU usage on the DB is high.
Can anyone shed some light on what this means? If the DB session is waiting for the client to send a message, what can it be "ACTIVE" and consuming CPU cycles for?

Revision as of 15:03, 25 February 2012
This page exists to to provide an insight into our shifting morass of community standards. These principles and standards are not the Consensus of Noisebridge, and anyone can edit this page at any time. Hopefully, the community can ensure that this page continues to reflect what we think.
The only hard and fast rule of Noisebridge is be excellent to each other. Everything else is dicta.
- Noisebridge is a place for hacking, hackers, and learning to hack.
- Noisebridge operates by do-ocracy and consensus.
- The Noisebridge Vision describes what we are for, and what we are about.
- If you disagree with your fellow hacker it would be excellent to work out your differences with them.
- If you cannot work out your differences one-on-one, it would be excellent to work out your differences through mediation.
Entrance and Membership
- You do not need to be a member to hack at Noisebridge or participate in the community here.
- It is not excellent to admit someone to Noisebridge unless you are willing to take responsibility for their actions here.
- It is not excellent to use the resources of Noisebridge unless you are hacking or trying to actively participate in the community
- You can attempt to become a member of Noisebridge as described on the membership page.
Conflict and Emergency
- It is excellent to do-ocratically remove someone who is disrupting Noisebridge, or dangerous.
- If you remove someone like this, you should email noisebridge-discuss, and edit 85.
- If someone is removed from the space like this, they shouldn't return to the space except to work out the issue that resulted in their removal, either through mediation, or at a weekly meeting.
Do Not Want
- Noisebridge is your hackerspace not your home. Do not live here.
Why Publish These Standards
Steve shook his head and repeated "Accommodating! Do you think Tracy will be able to handle all 14" of your dick when she has been used to your original 5 inches?"
I stuttered "I, I, I don't know. I guess we'll just have to try."
Steve asked if I was willing to risk all that hard work. Would Tracy be willing to put up with another month or more of no sex?
Steve was right, I had to make sure this worked. I asked what we could do.
Steve thought a few seconds and then said, "I think you have several options. You could find a hooker or some- one else able to accommodate your large size. Of course they would have to be close by whenever you invigorate. I'm not sure how Tracy would like that.
A second option is to use something, like a dildo, to expand Tracy prior to the big day. I'm sure it would take several sessions and there is the danger of that it might not work as well as you making love to her.
A third option is to find some sort of device to simu- late the correct pressure, and hope it's right the first time.
Finally, you could find someone with a penis large enough to open Tracy up to within a reasonable proxi- mity of your 14 inches, but that would be just as awkward as hiring a hooker."
Well, I knew a hooker was out of the question, Tracy would never stand for it. Certainly, a device was too risky. That left the dildo or, unfortunately, a sur- rogate penis. I was against the last option and was sure it would not be acceptable to Tracy either.
Thankfully, Steve noticed my discomfort with the idea and put some of my fears to rest. He informed me the expansion process using a surrogate was really a "clinical" kind of procedure. It wasn't as if someone would be making love to my wife. It was more like a therapist giving a massage. But I still wasn't con- vinced.
Tracy and I discussed our options later that night. Steve had painted a pretty scary picture of what could happen, and Tracy is very nervous about the whole thing. A simple yeast infection commercial gets her upset.
At that point it seemed as if all our acceptable options had eliminated themselves. I asked Tracy if she thought we should call the whole thing off. Was a large cock worth the price that we would have to pay?
Tracy thought about it for a moment, gave me a little hug, and told me that she was willing to make any sacrifice for my sake. Besides, she didn't want to admit that we had wasted all that effort. She finally decided that the surrogate penis would be the most likely thing to work, and besides it really would be more like a trip to the doctors office. O.K., Maybe more like a house call.
It was decided. As distasteful as it seemed, we would need someone to prepare Tracy to accommodate my new super sized cock. We were out of other acceptable options as we saw them, and we both knew we would have to see it through to the end.
It was Tracy who first suggested Steve for the task of preparing her. She had accidentally walked in on him while he was naked, in his room. He had been mastur- bating as she'd walked in. He had asked her earlier to stop by to help him sew on a button.
As she walked in, he saw her and gave his cock another couple of quick strokes and exploded in orgasm sending his cum high into the air.
She had gasped and had felt weak in surprise and shock but managed to quickly exit from the room. Later that night as I was finishing my invigoration she relayed the story while wildly rubbing her cunt. As I was cleaning up she told me how sorry she felt for him. He didn't appear to have a girlfriend and was left to seek his own release.
She then lit upon an idea. Steve was such a good friend, and obviously knowledgeable, wouldn't it be nice to let him do the honors with her. He was the size we were looking for and certainly knew what was required.
I was apprehensive about having Steve be with my wife but she seemed to settle on him as the one. She asked me if I would approach him about it. I reluctantly agreed. After all, Steve had been a great help through all of this and any penis envy that I had would soon be over.
When I asked him, Steve seemed surprised and expressed some concern about my reaction to someone ministering to my wife. I said I thought I could handle it as long as I was there to comfort Tracy.
He disagreed with me, he said that it was his experi- ence that its not a good idea to have the husband around during this kind of activity. He couldn't do it if I was there. His concentration would not be on the job at hand. Doctors don't allow family members into the operating room.
I told him that I admired his clinical attitude and that I guess I could stay out of the way. Based on my concession, he agreed to do it. He then added that they should start soon because my expansion could occur any day.
That evening Steve entered our bedroom about 8:00 to start the treatment on Tracy. I watched television in the living room. Occasionally, I would hear a yell or a knock from the bedroom. I used the device twice waiting for them to finish. Eventually I fell asleep on the couch.
When I woke up the next morning, Tracy was in the shower and Steve was nowhere to be found. When Tracy was dressed I asked her how the night had gone. She smiled and said that it had been all right.
I prodded her for more information but she was reluc- tant to talk about it. I figured that she didn't enjoy it all that much, plus the situation was kind of awkward. I was actually kind of surprised when Steve and Tracy retreated to the bedroom later that evening. Tracy was determined to see this thing through.
The pattern repeated itself for the remainder of the week. Tracy still didn't want to talk much about it and Steve was only home long enough to slip into bed with her.
I did notice that Tracy had settled down to her old; self back when we used to fuck every day. However the treatment was going, it seemed to be helping her.
Friday was the day Steve left for home. He got up early in the morning, showered, and stopped by the couch on his way out. He shook me awake and thanked me for allow him to help us. He cautioned against using the device for longer than another couple of months, something should have happened by then. He said he would be back every couple of weeks and would make sure he kept Tracy ready for me until then.
I got up and opened the door for him and thanked him for all his help. After he left, I slowly walked down the hall into my bedroom. Tracy was sleeping lightly. She was wearing a skimpy little teddy with no panties on.
I had never seen that outfit before. She looked great in it. The light from the window shown across her legs and stomach. Her legs were spread open and I peered down at her pussy. Her cunt was gaping wide open and cum was all over her face, tits, stomach, pussy and legs. Her hairless cunt lips were engorged and glowing red. Her nipples thrust out like pencil top erasers. Even her clit was standing at attention. The enormity of her once tight cunt amazed me. My entire penis could fit inside the opening without touching the sides. Some time during the week she had shaved off most of her pussy hair, leaving only a small triangle. It was matted and soaked with cum.
Steve returned two more times after that and stayed for a week each time. Each week was similar to the first week; me on the couch and him working with my wife in our bed. He continued to splatter cum all over her. I was allowed to stop in every morning after he left to check on Tracy. Here cunt was always huge and covered with cum. I suspected that she was giving him oral sex. I would notice drops of cum on her chin and cheeks. She never did that for me.
Finally, one morning Steve said he would be leaving and probably wouldn't return. He said that he had stretch- ed out Tracy as far as possible and that his mission was accomplished. She was ready and no longer needed him.
I thanked him for all his help, he informed me that if my cock wasn't larger in another couple of weeks, it probably never would be. On rare occasions it's not effective. He told me I could hang on to the expansion device no matter what happened.
I told him I would keep using it for a while and would darn well pay for it too. After all, I was the one it was helping. I was kind of surprised at the price he said he paid, but figured it would be worth it in the long run. I handed him a check for $475 and thanked him again for all his help. He truly was a good friend. With that he walked out the door and I never saw him again.
A couple of weeks passed and I remained 5" long. In that time Tracy seemed to lose interest in her once nightly rubbing sessions and did not appear at all concerned with our lack of sex. Whatever Steve had done, it was having positive effects. I found it curious that Tracy had taken a liking to her carefully trimmed pussy and spent considerable time grooming it.
Finally after another 2 weeks, I decided to quit using the device and get back to my old life. I was disap- pointed that I hadn't been successful, but at least Steve, Tracy and I had given it our best shot.
I convinced Tracy to try sex with me the next evening. Try is the appropriate word because we both could not feel a thing. I couldn't even cum, there was no friction at all. It was like humping air. We tried a couple of more times but to no avail.
I felt inadequate. I couldn't please my own wife. Several weeks later I returned home from work to find her in bed with a stranger.
When I walked in, he turned to me and pulled his cock out of Tracy's cunt and showed it to me saying, "four- teen inches!"
It is important for regular users of the space to be aware of the purpose of Noisebridge. If people want to use the space and have no interest in or respect for hacking, this does not mean they are automatically unwelcome at Noisebridge, but they should thoroughly understand that their use of the space is tangential to its purpose and at the discretion of the membership and other stakeholders.

From this exhibition by an astronaut on the moon dropping a hammer and a feather and showing they move at the same speed, why do the particles of the comets tail move away from the comet, slow down and fall away as it disintegrates? Shouldn't they move at the same speed of the comet? For example if the feather was attached to the hammer and it was falling and broke off wouldn't it fall at the same speed, not start to trail behind and eventually fall away?
If the hammer and feather move at the same speed why do comet and the tail particles move at different speeds?
The tail of a comet is not actually "slowing down and falling away" from the comet, like you might expect to see when smoke streams out from behind a moving object on earth. The tail of a comet is actually being pushed away from the sun by the solar winds and radiation. That's why the tail of a comment always points away from the sun, and doesn't stream out behind it.
If there were no other forces at work, the coma would actually travel at about the same speed at the comet. As the material surrounding the core of the comet vaporized, it would form a coma ("atmosphere") made up of sublimated gas mixed with dust, moving along at the same speed (more or less(1)) as the comet… like you observed in the video.
(1) In reality, without the solar winds, the coma of the comet would continue to move outward, as its expulsion velocity would easily overcome the comet's weak gravitational pull.
The tail particles from a comet are ejected, so they have a distinct velocity than that of the comet. Besides that, they orbit the Sun in an orbit similar to that of the comet when they were ejected, they don't slow down.
About the hammer and the feather, it is not the same to just break off than to be ejected. If the hammer blows the feather up while falling, the feather will delay a lot more than the hammer to fall.
So, increasing the mass means increased gravitational pull. That is why heavier objects like hammer fall faster than lighter objects like feather. This sounds true up to conluding that the hammer falls faster for this reason. The mass of the hammer needs the extra amount of gravitational pull to its mass to the earth, or moon. In a similar way, the amount of pull on the feather is proportional to its mass, and so on for object, at least on a relationship like earth and mars to a feather or hammer with such a vast difference in their relative masses. This phenomenon was made famous by Galileo when he dropped a few things off of the leaning of pisa or some ther building like it and observed that the two objects he dropped though of different masses hit the ground at the same time. At least part of the reason a feather drops nore slowly than a hammer of the same mass is the effects of aerodynamics where the feather has a much more resistant outer shell, or shape, than the hammer of similar mass. The effects of wind currents are much different on feathers than hammers, and these effects are studied by use of terms like coefficients of friction. On a comet's coma, the density of materials, or amount of nuclei per given volume exceeds the tail's, and so as a hammer is denser than the feather, the tail of the moves at a slightly different speed than the comet itself.
There are a few more elements which you might consider. Like, when dropping a hammer along with a feather in earth, the feather descends slower than the hammer. Reason: although the force of gravity is same, their mass, and the resistance from external forces faced by them is an entirely different story. The air between the object and the ground must also be taken into consideration. Whereas, moon lacks atmosphere and hence they fall at relatively same speed (with only low gravity acting upon them).
As in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_tail
Similar to the air acting on the detached feather (as said above), the solar radiation pressure and solar winds act on the tail debris of the comet. For instance, you drop an article from a moving vehicle, it falls to the ground rather than flying in the air at the same speed. Deceleration and opposite forces like solar winds cause it to slow down.
UPDATE: The reason why mass is taken into consideration is due to the fact that mass is directly proportional to gravity. So, increasing the mass means increased gravitational pull. That is why heavier objects like hammer fall faster than lighter objects like feather. Explaining this would be a matter of physics and not astronomy which is irrelevant to this website and should be discussed in the physics stack exchange website.

White blood cells (WBC) are one part of our body's immune system, working to protect us against infection. A neutrophil is one type of WBC and they make up the majority of WBCs. They are the "first responders" and quickly appear at the site of infection, ingesting and destroying foreign particles. They can be found in the pus of a wound and play a role in acute inflammation (redness, warmth, swelling, and pain). A normal neutrophil count (also called absolute neutrophil count or ANC) is between 2500 and 5000. A low neutrophil count (less than 1000) is known as neutropenia. The lower the neutrophil count, the higher the risk of infection. Neutropenia is most often caused by cancer therapies, including chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Ask your healthcare team when your counts are likely to be at their lowest (also called nadir), as you will most likely be at home during the nadir. For chemotherapy, low counts usually occur 7-10 days after treatment.
Given that neutropenia is caused by cancer treatments, there is not much you can do to prevent it from occurring, but you can decrease the risk of getting an infection while your count is low.
Steps to help prevent infection:
- Hand washing, hand washing, hand washing! This includes the patient and those around the patient.
- Avoid large crowds where you may come into contact with germs, such as shopping malls, church, or public transportation. If need be, go at off peak hours to avoid the crowds.
- Avoid anyone who is sick (including colds), including other people in their household are sick.
- Avoid children or adults who have recently received vaccines.
- If you have a central catheter (PICC, Port, Hickman), use caution to keep it clean and dry. Check the area for redness or tenderness (soreness) daily.
- Follow an oral care regimen.
- Wear sunscreen (SPF 15 or higher) to prevent sunburn.
- Use only electric razors to prevent cuts.
- Use caution to avoid any cuts or injuries. (avoid contact sports, wear gloves for household chores)
- Do not use rectal suppositories.
- Do not have dental work without first talking with your healthcare team.
- Do not get any vaccines without first talking with your healthcare team.
- Women should not use tampons while neutropenic as these can pose a risk of infection and toxic shock syndrome. Use sanitary napkins instead.
- Neutropenic patients should not have intercourse, any type of vaginal or anal penetration (including toys/props) or oral sex as these can pose an infection risk. Talk with your healthcare providers if you have specific sexual practices that you are concerned about.
You may receive a growth factor to stimulate neutrophil production. This is a man-made version of a natural hormone that causes the body to produce more neutrophils. It is given by an injection just under the skin. There are a few growth factors available in the United States: filgrastim (Neupogen®), pegfilgrastim (Neulasta®) and sargramostim (Leukine®).
Even the best hand washers end up with an infection. An infection in a neutropenic patient is an emergency! If you notice any signs or symptoms of infection, you should call your doctor right away - even if it is the middle of the night. Make sure you know how to reach someone when the office is closed!
Signs and symptoms of infection to look for:
- Check your temperature twice a day or if you feel feverish. If your temperature is above 100.4, call your doctor right away.
- Do not take acetaminophen (Tylenol) or aspirin to reduce the fever without talking to your doctor first.
- Shaking chills
- Cough, sore throat, shortness of breath
- Burning with urination or new lower back pain
- Blood in urine
- Diarrhea (worsening) or change in the odor of your stool
- Rash, redness or swelling of the skin
- Redness, soreness around central line catheter, feeding tube or a wound
- Soreness or swelling in your mouth or throat, ulcers or white patches in your mouth, or a change in the color of your gums
You may be told to follow a neutropenic diet. This diet is intended to decrease your exposure to bacteria. A basic neutropenic diet includes:
- Avoid all fresh fruits and vegetables. Cooked vegetables and canned fruits and juices are fine. You may eat fruit that you can peel a thick skin off of, such as a banana or an orange.
- Avoid raw or rare-cooked meat, fish, and eggs. Meat should be cooked to the "well done" stage. All eggs should be thoroughly cooked (no runny yolks).
- Avoid salad bars, fruit bars, and deli counters. Buy vacuum-packed lunch meats rather than freshly sliced meats.
- Eat or drink only pasteurized milk, yogurt, cheese or other dairy products.
- Avoid soft mold-ripened and blue-veined cheese including: Brie, Camembert, Roquefort, Stilton, Gorgonzola, Bleu.
- At home, you may use tap water or bottled water. Avoid well water or boil it for 1 minute before using.
Every cancer center has different rules regarding the neutropenic diet. Be sure to ask your healthcare team for any special instructions. Patients undergoing bone marrow or stem cell transplant will have a stricter diet. Remember this diet is only temporary while your blood counts are low. Wash your hands well before preparing any food and keep your work area clean.

3 Great Reasons To Have Gratitude On Your Cancer Teamby Marlys Johnson

In the middle of The Avengers, the team is split up after coming together on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. Bruce Banner/Hulk end up in an abandoned warehouse. Thor ends up in a field. Shortly afterwards, Tony Stark determines Loki's next destination, Stark Tower. This information is never transmitted to Banner or Thor. However, both of them show up in New York City and join in the climactic battle. How did they know where to go?
We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer; explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations. Answers that don't include explanations may be removed.
How Bruce Banner found the Avengers:
When Banner was aboard the Hellicarrier, his gamma ray search algorithm had worked out where the Tesseract was (Stark Tower), but before he could tell anyone Loki's machinations kicked in and he turned into the Hulk. After he went back to being Bruce Banner, he just found his way to Stark Tower, where the rest of the Avengers had assembled.
How Thor found the Avengers:
This one's a bit more problematic. Thor seems to have the ability to track down Loki. Witness how he knew he was held inside the jet after he was captured by S.H.I.E.L.D.. How he does that isn't known. So I'm assuming that, however he does it, Thor simply tracked down Loki to Stark Tower.
Thor magically knew where to find Loki the first time, when he abducted him from the Quinjet. I suppose the same magic could have helped him find Loki the second time, too. (Perhaps Odin infused Mjolnir with some sort of spell to track Loki quickly.)
As for Banner, that one's actually easier to answer. He's the only one who saw the location of the Tesseract on the helicarrier's computer screen, just before Hawkeye blew up the engine.
To elaborate a little Banner was brought in initially to trace the gamma signature from the Tessaract. So i think he would've been easily able to spot the place where the show down is going to be by tracking those gamma signatures of that Loki's sceptre.
As for Thor he is an Asgardian and brother of Loki plus he is the guardian of Earth. So he could've easily sensed the interference and the opening in the sky which brought Loki's army.
I am pretty sure about Banner because Nick Fury points out in the movie that Banner was tracked to join the team to identify the gamma signature from the Tessaract.
No, remember when right before Hawkeye attacked the S.H.I.E.L.D. ship, Banner gets a hit on the Tesseract and goes "oh my god". That was Stark Tower but he couldn't tell everyone because Hawkeye's bomb exploded and he turned into the Hulk.
Before Hawkeye's arrow explodes, Banner is the one member of the team who walks over to the screen as sees the location of the Tesseract. He never gets the chance to tell anyone else.
I don't know about Thor. I found this page by searching for the answer to that question. i think the theory that he can find Loki is a good one, since he found him on the place (as stated above).

Are there libraries in R for estimating time-varying joint distributions via copulas?
Hedibert Lopes has an excellent paper on the topic here. I know there is an existing packaged called copula but it fits a static copula.
Are there libraries in R for estimating time-varying joint distributions via copulas?
Hedibert Lopes has an excellent paper on the topic here. I know there is an existing packaged called copula but it fits a static copula.
I think an extremely interesting strand of research on this topic is represented by extensions of vine copulas with time-varying parameters.
For vine copulas in general have a look at this site from the Technische Universität München:
One of their research projects, which is the most relevant in this context, is:
It is well worth keeping an eye on since they implement their research models in R, concerning the current status of the implementation please have a look at this presentation here:
You'll find the respective package CDVine on CRAN: Here
The vignette can be found in the Journal of Statistical Software.
(I will update this post when the new code for the time-varying parameters becomes available.)
Once we start building time-varying copulas like Lopes suggests in that paper, I think we are better off venturing into the world of state space models. When viewed in a bayesian context, the similarities between the approaches are striking to me. The advantage of the copula, as I understand it, is that it is a quick and dirty way to understand the structure of your marginal distributions by simplifying the dependence structure over time.
I did not find anything in the Lopes paper to suggest what algo he uses to estimate the params of his time-varying copulas and marginals, but I expect that this is done using something like a forward/backward algorithm (used in ssm estimation) since he mentions that the marginals and copulas are estimated in the same "step". There are great open source ssm packages that you could extend in R and python, if this approach interests you:
I have written R code for some time-varying bivariate fat-tailed copula functions (ripped off Patton's Matlab code) and played around with various optimizers.
You can then use
Unfortunately numerical MLE is very slow even with 1000 datapoints ... I would be VERY interested in seeing an iterative state space solution, if tractable. However, I somehow doubt one has been developed since this only came around in 2006 and is mostly popular among international economics researchers who are focused on applied questions with low frequency data (hence numerical MLE is fine for them).

Things at Government Center are not always as they appear.
Such is the case with the dozen dome "security cameras" with flashing LED lights recently mounted in city hall stairwells and elevators, and the flat white "surveillance cameras" placed outside the mayor's and city clerk's offices. It turns out these cameras are just for show.
Although these inexpensive decoy devices may offer some semblance of security and have a deterrent effect against potential crimes, the fake cameras also touched off a sense of paranoia among some Government Center staff and officials, who were caught off guard by what appeared to be an elaborate — and expensive — surveillance system that no one was informed of and was never approved by the City Council.
The need for security enhancements — and the appropriate means of doing so at Government Center — is a debate city residents and officials are now engaging in after the story behind these devices was revealed in The Herald News. Although these "cameras" only cost the city $150, are they more trouble than they're worth?
While the rationale behind the devices deserves an explanation, the administration — understandably — doesn't want to discuss security issues in a public forum. Still, the council and public — along with Government Center staff — have a right to get answers to some basic questions.
Is there a security improvement plan currently in place? What is the proper amount of security for the building? What are the administration's security goals for the building? How much would that cost? These are all questions that the administration can answer without getting into specifics that would undermine security.
Meanwhile, there is also the question of a security upgrade for the treasurer's office at Government Center. A loan order for the work — and other projects — was approved by the City Council in 2012, but the money was diverted for other upgrades that had nothing to do with security.
Fake security cameras. Unanswered questions. Redirected funds. An incomplete security upgrade project. If the cameras were real, are we sure they'd be pointed in the right direction?

I'm considering a trip to Amsterdam with some friends (3-4 people) for around a week in the late spring/summer. Looking at hotel prices seems a little bit steep, and I've had success in the past in Europe with self-service apartments. The idea would be to save some money buying and cooking food ourselves while still having comfortable living accommodations. Preferably I'd like somewhere that costs less than a comparable hotel room would. Are there options for a self service-style apartment/flat in the Amsterdam area? What should I look for specifically and where?
Amsterdam, like all big cities, is expensive. Any rental apartments will be rented out to expat workers quickly, you're unlikely to find any (and they tend to be bloody expensive).
Your best bet is to find a hotel in another city and commute in by train. Leiden, Almere, maybe Amersfoort of Hilversum are all not far from Amsterdam. Leiden is a nice old city in its own right, very old university town with a rich history and lots of things to do and see, and should be cheaper than Amsterdam even considering the cost of train tickets.
Any vacation apartments in the Netherlands tend to be blocked together in self contained resort like complexes well away from major cities. There's a few on the coast, but without a car you're not going to want to stay there (plus rentals there can be more costly than a hotel room).
There is a local website called Stay Amsterdam.
I used a site called Citymundo several years back - they are notable for having houseboat rentals in addition to the usual apartments. Both are rentals-by-owner, they act somewhat as an agent; you have to arrange to meet up with the owner in person when you arrive to pay and get the keys.

Narrow your search
While the Canon Pixma MG5620 is a capable machine with an easy set-up process and an attractive set of features, its high cost of consumables cuts into the overall value.
Pricing not available
A digital camera is a valuable imaging resource, but what happens when you need a physical copy? For when virtual sharing just isn't good enough, Canon takes the opportunity at CES 2013 to reveal four new Pixma multifunction inkjet printers.
Pricing not available
After three years, the midrange Pixma Pro models get some love.
Pricing not available
Boasting Apple AirPrint, automatic double-sided printing, and impressive performance for the price, the Canon Pixma MG3200 is a fine choice for shoppers looking for an inexpensive printer.
Pricing not available
The Canon Pixma MG4150 looks good, produces impressive results with text and is economical to run, but its slow print speeds and so-so performance with graphics blot its copy book.
Typical price: £120.00
Expensive ink refill cost is a limiting factor for the Canon Pixma MG5620 inkjet printer, though the machine is reliable and includes an impressive list of features.
Unique features like HD Movie Print, CD/DVD printing, and Apple AirPrint compatibility make the Canon Pixma MG6220 a no-brainer for amateur photographers, families, and home offices.
Pricing not available
Rapid print speed, top quality results and extra features like dual paper trays and support for direct CD/DVD printing make the Canon Pixma iP4950 a great buy.
Typical price: £65.00
The Canon MG6250 is a great option for people who are big into photography. It has an excellent scanner and produces very high quality photo prints. There's plenty more on offer, including Wi-Fi and Ethernet support, direct CD/DVD printing and dual paper trays.
Typical price: £135.00
The Canon Pixma MG5350 delivers excellent quality prints at a really rapid pace. It's not the cheapest model to run and it lacks a touchscreen, but we think its impressive performance helps to make up for these two slight failings.
Typical price: £105.00

I looked over Legends of Anglerre's explanation of quick character generation and it doesn't seem to exactly explain what power scope is covers. What characters does it allow?
Additionally, I am not sure about skill points - how much do I give per power level (Good, Great and Superb in order)? How was the suggested base 20 points decided upon?
Finally, given I plan on running a one shot to players who've never played FATE or LoA, would it be wiser to pregen the characters completely?

I'm trying to optimize my header and I was wondering which plugin would call jquery. Is there a debugging tool to know which plugin is doing what in the header ?
Thanks !
Plugins and themes tend to use
I would rarely advise this, but since you only need to do it temporarily, you could modify WordPress core and run a debug backtrace for every call to this function.
Now pop the following in your theme's
Now whenever you load a page on your website, a log gets generated in your WordPress
Remember! Undo the changes once you've found out what you need!
There is a nifty little function called debug_filters() which lists the callbacks registered on a certain hook.
You would call from your theme, at the end of the header.php file for example:
