Just south of Washington-On-The-Brazos, you'll find The Inn At Dos Brisas.
The horses at the 313-acre ranch are in just as much of a relaxed state as the guests thanks to this peaceful piece of Texas.
"I can honestly say the majority of our guests are from the Houston market as well as Austin. When they come to this beautiful area, they're just stunned. They like to say this is a hidden treasure for them," said Brent Gresham, general manager of the Inn at Dos Brisas.
Currently the resort has just four casitas for visitors and when you arrive, the world just disappears.
"It's not scripted here like it is at other luxury hotels," said Gresham.
Chef Raj Dixit is one of the main reasons the resort rises above the rest. The only Forbes Five-Star restaurant in Texas, the Inn has the inside track on freshness thanks to its plentiful gardens.
Herbs, fruits, and vegetables are all grown on site and picked daily for each meal.
"Essentially, that's our menu planning. The menu is by the day depending on what's ready and what we're excited about," said Dixit.
"To see a chef actually looking for the best product and for it to be on your plate in a matter of minutes, it's a little surreal for the guests," said Gresham.
And when Chef Dixit makes it to the kitchen, that's when the real magic happens.
"A lot time people come to a resort like this and they feel a little intimidated by the cuisine and that's about the furthest thing we're trying to go for. What we're trying to do is just connect a community here through the food," said Dixit.
With a cart full of fresh ingredients at his disposal Raj ratchets up the cuisine each and every night.
"There isn't a thought process, it's letting the dishes speak for themselves and tell us how to cook them," said Dixit.
And you just never know what to expect from the five-star kitchen.
"It really depends on the guest. We try to make a menu really unique to each couple, each table," said Dixit.
For the folks at the Inn, it's all about telling the story of Texas through the fruits that the Lone Star State provides.
"We're telling the story from that micro herb being pulled from the ground, to how it is prepared, and to how we place it in front of our guests," said Gresham.
The Inn at Dos Brisas is an incredibly peaceful and delectable first stop on our Brazos Valley Bucket List.
If you'd like to stay or eat at the Inn at Dos Brisas we have resort information and the link to the resort below.
Coming up Monday we'll introduce you to a Brazos Valley brew that you can only find here in the Brazos Valley.

I've always found the concept of the lunch tweet a little weird. There are people on my Twitter feed who I have never met nor will ever meet, yet I know every lunchtime what they're tucking into. I sigh and my finger hovers over the unfollow button which perhaps makes me a tad hypocritical as I found myself the other day sharing my lunch with Twitter. I felt a compulsion to tell people how good the Tsuru Scotch Egg is. Twitter listened and so I'm sharing it with you.
I can't resist a Scotch Egg at the best of times whether hard boiled supermarket fare or freshly made and slightly runny. Add a Katsu curry sauce and rice and I'm anyones.
A shichimi sea salt mix with added kick provided a salty edge best washed down with a crisp Asahi. Whether the Scotch Egg has a Japanese equivalent I'm unsure (please comment if there is) but this is up there with the better pub efforts I've had and although the curry sauce sounds like a strange Asian twist on a classic it works.

I mistakenly deleted around 2,000,000 records from a remote SQL Server 2008 table. The server is not granting me access to the backup files on the server side.
Is there any way to get back these records?
I mistakenly deleted around 2,000,000 records from a remote SQL Server 2008 table. The server is not granting me access to the backup files on the server side.
Is there any way to get back these records?
Is your database in full recovery mode?
SQL Server keeps logs for each deleted record. You can query these logs via the
But this log is in Hex format and you need to convert this Hex format to your actual data.
The article below will help you recover the deleted records in the way defined above:
Unfortunately, we are not going to be able to help you without a lot more information. But from your question, I see that you have deleted what appears to be 2 million records from your database. Most likely you can't recover this information, unless you have full logging on your database and you purchase some very specific tools.
If you can describe in more detail just what it is you think you've done, and why you feel you can't get the records back, and can describe the organization of your database, then we might can help you a little more.
Some general advice: if you think you've deleted 2 million records, you're probably a little freaked out right now. So you should take a five minute break, calm down, and revisit the problem. Also, you should tell your boss right away if it's reasonable (don't wake someone up at 2am to tell them) and that you are working on a solution. Better to admit what's happened than to frantically try to recover and potentially make matters worse and hide the details. Knowing that your boss can help in some way, helps you fix the problem. Like I said, just some general advice.
Thank you for your interest in this question.

The Carmi Township Board came together for their December meeting Tuesday, Dec. 11 at the Webb Street office. Jimmie Mallette, supervisor, called the meeting to order. Jack Martin, town clerk, went over business from the past meeting through the minutes, which were approved by the Board of Trustees Roger Heckler and Anthony Huffer.
Martin gave an update on the board's finances, which remains healthy and surrounded by black ink. The Trustees have done a great job maintaining a positive cash flow and working well together to accomplish projects within the budget.
Mallette updated the board on the assistance fund with one recorded case for general assistance for the month of November in the amount of $225 for rent. Mallette also informed the Trustees they had received a nice donation from Brookston Resources for the special needs fund, which is set up to help those who do not qualify for general assistance. Mallette said they donation was greatly appreciated as the fund had dropped down and would not have assisted very many requests.
Fred Loyd, road commissioner, gave an update on the tree work being performed in the area known as Williams or Absher section. Loyd said crews from the township are done with cutting brush and branches back along the south side of the Williams square and the crews would begin this week working on the west side of the block. Loyd said a total of approximately 100 trees had been trimmed back and noted there is a lot of firewood lying along the south side of Williams block. Loyd noted this firewood is available for pickup for the public. He said the firewood consists of remnant of wood from Ash, Oak and Hickory trees. Persons interested in getting the firewood just need to go to that area to pick it up.
Loyd said besides cutting branches and trees back from the power line areas, the crews have been putting rock down and doing the normal things it takes to get prepared for winter. Loyd said chains have been put on the grater and the big blade is out just in case it snows.
Amy Short provided an update on assessments with five residential and two commercial assessments done during the month. Greg Stewart, the township's attorney, also informed Short that her current contract runs out at the end of 2012. A new contract for a one-year term to secure her as the township assessor, has been drawn up and would be delivered to her soon.
In other new business, the board voted to accept the tax levy. The levy did not change from the previous year and was approved by the Trustees.
The township meeting concluded at 6:25. Mallette noted the next meeting is slated for Tuesday, Jan. 8 to kick off the 2013 year.

If one baked bread on yom tov in Eretz Yisroel (from dough kneaded prior to Yom Tov) and relized when the bread was still in the oven that he forgot to take off challah, must the bread then be considered muktzah? If indeed it is muktzah, would one have to leave it in the oven the entire time even until it burns or could one save it and take it out?

Based on what the Ramah writes in SA Siman 457:1 and SA Horav #16), there is a way to take Challa on Yom Tov: you could make a new dough (make the size of one Challah, because your going to have to eat that bread on that same day, per Mogen Avraham 506:11) bake it and AFTERWARD do צירוף כלי (put the Erev YT breads and the new bread in one utensil) and remove Challah from the NEW bread.
I wrote the bulk of this immediately after the question was posted several months ago, but I decided not to post it as it is sort of a long comment rather than a definitive answer. After I was reminded of this question by a recent post, I decided I might as well post my comments here. CYLOR, as usual.
If someone kneaded dough on Yom Tov of Pesach, and it became tamei, the opinion of Rabbi Eliezer in the Mishna (P'sachim 46a) is that the dough should be baked before challah is separated so that the challah doesn't turn into chametz. R' Eliezer holds that this is not afiya shelo l'tzorech prior to the separation of challah. Rabbeinu Baruch writes that the challah is muktza only after it is separated, since it is not fitting to be eaten in its state of tumah (Sefer HaT'ruma, Hil. Challah, § 84).
This seems to imply that, binidon didan, the fact that challah has not yet been separated does not intrinsically make the bread muktza. The question remains whether the bread is muktza because it may not be eaten on Yom Tov. Seemingly, the bread would be muktza because it would not be considered a davar shenigmar bidei adam since it cannot be made edible until after yom tov (so we can expect that asach da'tei minaihu) (Mishna B'rura, 310:19).
The bread seemingly may not be baked because, in this case, it would seem to be afiya shelo l'tzorech, as it may not be eaten on Yom Tov. Additionally, it seems that it may not be left to burn because of you cannot burn challah on Yom Tov (Shabbos 24b; Rashi, P'sachim 46a).
Assuming one could not apply the solution described in Meir Zirkind's answer, it would seem that the bread would need to be removed from the oven kil'achar yad. However, it may be logistically difficult to remove bread from a hot oven kil'achar yad; ironically, R' Moshe Feinstein is quoted as saying that it is questionable whether even moving an item backhanded qualifies as kil'achar yad (Igros Moshe OC vol. 5, 22:8).
It is further questionable whether one would be allowed to remove the bread in a normal manner, thus violating the d'rabbanan of muktza, in order to avoid cooking the bread, which would constitute a biblical prohibition. This seems to be related to the topic explored in the sugya of hidbik pas batanur (Shabbos 4a; see here and here for some discussion of relevant points).
Being that you are allowed to bake bread on Yom Tov, it would follow that you are allowed to do anything you can to eat the bread, including taking off challah, (because without taking off challah the bread is tevel). This is provable from Pesachim 36b/37a: "...Beis Hillel permit the baking of 'pas aveh' on yom tov... what is 'pas aveh'? 'pas merubeh'", i.e. a lot of bread, implying even an amount that would be chayav in challah. It would therefore follow that the bread is not muktzeh, being that is is indeed usable- all you need to do is take challah. (For more information on taking challah on Yom Tov, see Pesachim 46a/b.)

Per the Windows and Linux threads, what commands do you find most useful in Mac OS X Server (or Client)?

Famously used for getting people back into their apartments,
I think they default to using the macroman encoding, so if you want UTF-8 (which you do) you should check out these links:
Lets you monitor file system activity. Handy if you want to see what files some app creates. See http://rentzsch.com/macosx/fs_usageIntro for more explanation.
Opens a finder window in the current working directory.
From the command line, I like having the ability to:
Create and burn a "universal" CD/DVD:
$ mkisofs -allow-multidot -allow-leading-dots -d -hide-rr-moved \ -l -joliet-long -R -T -v \ -V VOLUME_NAME -o output.iso root-cd-dir/ $ hdiutil burn -noverifyburn output.iso

Being able to forget the otool command when I'm seeking ldd:
$ alias ldd='printf "Sending command to \'\''otool -L\'\'' --\n" && otool -L'
Mount a disk image from the command line:
$ hdid diskimage.dmg (or .iso)
Use preview to access a man page:
$ man -t rsync | open -f -a /Applications/Preview.app
The 'airport' CLI utility is my favorite. See http://osxdaily.com/2007/01/18/airport-the-little-known-command-line-wireless-utility/. It will show you details like the signal level, noise level, and the BSSID of the AP you're associated to.

Checks that forward and reverse DNS resolution are healthy, and often shows you the command you can use to fix the problem. If it says "the names match, there is nothing to change" you're in good shape. Vital if you ever change your server's network configuration. Also important to use this before you promote your server to an Open Directory Master.

Ardist was born on Nov. 7, 1918, in Peru, Neb., to Luther Spencer and Leona Nevada Christian.
She and her three siblings grew up near there where her parents ran a boarding house for college boys.
It was at Peru State where she met Dean France McCormick of Syracuse, and the two married in 1939, and moved to Sioux Center, Iowa.
There they began their teaching careers and family. Teaching in Iowa and Illinois, they retired to Albia, Iowa, to be closer to grandchildren.
Ardist, never one to sit idly at home, soon returned to the schools as a substitute teacher.
Dean passed away in 1980, and in 1992 she married Ray Willard. They spent their winters in Texas and their summers in Minnesota, holding hands wherever they went.
Ardist passed on Jan. 3, 2013, near Stillwater, Minn. She was truly a bright light in the lives of all she knew, and her spirit and lessons are woven into the character of those who loved her.
Ardist is survived by husband, Ray Willard, son Mike McCormick and wife Penny, daughter Carolyn Knupp and husband Steve, grandchildren Monty, Jeff, Melinda, Jody, and Spencer, and their spouses.
She is also survived by 11 great-grandchildren and sister-in-law, Ruth Wilhelm, Syracuse.

In one word: Enthusiastic.
I teach webdesign at a basic level to youth (upper secondary). Every day I learn new amazing things about jQuery, php, html5 and other awesome stuff there is to learn!
grateful to stackoverflow, ohh how many times you lot have enlightened me! :)
I dream of creating really amazing digital resources (English/Swedish) for teachers/students/schools (maths & "useful to know in life", webbdesign and more) for ages 14-21, in the future.
I also develop some other projects (some together with others) when I have some spare time left over, these are all in Swedish:
bunko.se - Find new friends, easily!
skolresurser.se - Listing & filter for finding learning material
bunko.se/webbdesign - Beginner videoguides in webbdesign
I have many more visions and dreams, but there is only so much space in an online profile-bio! ;)

You can get a great 18 gauge brad nailer at Harbor Freight for $19.99 right now. I might not use it for a framing nailer but for an 18 gauge it's great. http://www.harborfreight.com/18-gauge-brad-nailer-68021.html
The Harbor Freight version Shoots 3/8" to 2" long the Home D. one shoots 5/8 - 2-1/8 in
I actually knew a guy named "Brad Nailer". I often wonder if he went to college, with a name like that you have a responsibility to fulfill that was beset upon you at birth. If he became a construction worker, he needs a punch in the face for being too ironic.

Shades Of The Past Auto Show - Sharing The ShadesWritten on December 1, 2005 Shades Of The Past Hot Rod Roundup 2005
Vintage-vehicle owners typically enjoy sharing their pastime with family, friends, and even some interested strangers. This can be especially true for avid truck owners, who enjoy sharing stories of events they've attended. As you know, Primedia titles often feature vintage cars and trucks from the Shades of the Past car club's annual event. And word has saturated the southeastern states as more and more folks have personally discovered what all the fuss is about.
The Shades of the Past's 23rd show was the third time that the upper limit of entries was extended to '64, and as a result, the club decided the two giveaway vehicles should reflect the popular change. Instead of one finished and one unfinished vehicle, the club gave away two turnkey cars: a '33 Ford Roadster and a '63 Buick Riviera. The registered contest entrants heartily approved.
The Shades show is a somewhat abbreviated event, held only on Friday and Saturday in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Early Friday morning the venue gates opened at 7:00 a.m., and those vying for a Top 25 pick were among the first few in line to claim a prime parking spot. This year, as in the past, the club enjoyed examining plenty of awesome rides-judges had quite a difficult task in selecting the Top 25 winners. Joining the club members were media judges who made special award picks. After narrowing the CCT pick down to three possibilities, our final decision was Roger Bennington's attractive two-tone '40 Ford pickup.
Friday evening, the show literally rolled to a nighttime cruise up and down the six-lane main street of Pigeon Forge. This popular activity continued until around 11:30, when festivities finally slowed to a halt.
On Saturday, the immaculate Top 25 award-winners and specialty award-winners were on display to inspect and admire. Also on Saturday, the Deuce gathering and Willys Roundup were held. Later, the awards ceremony began (around 4:30 p.m.) for those specialty awards, Southeast Deuce, Willys, Top 25, Street Machine of the Year, and Street Rod of the Year-and finally, the drawing for the giveaway cars.
Other visual entertainment included a good number of commercial venders, plus the sizable swap-meet area available for anyone who needed parts or information. Approximately 2,800 vehicles were on hand for 2005, which seemed to provide the perfect diversity for everyone's viewing pleasure.
With all this excitement rolled into two days, one can imagine the stories that will be shared with friends who'll want to attend next year's show! Many of these satisfied participants will be back year after year. So for those truck lovers who've never attended, plan on being in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, next year to see for yourself. The event is scheduled for the weekend after Labor Day-and will demonstrate exactly what the Shades of the Past car club does that's so unique and entertaining!

H33rsay: Call of Duty 2014 is Modern Warfare 4, according to leaked detailsWritten by: / / 3 Comments
H33rsay is El33tonline's round-up of game industry rumours and speculation where we have looks at unconfirmed and unannounced pieces of news emerging from anonymous tipsters, information leaks and generally dubious sources. It may not all be true, but it's still fun to talk about!
Now that the news that Sledgehammer Games is working on 2014's edition of Call of Duty has been announced, consumer site OnlySp has decided to send out a few snippets of news sent to them by an anonymous tipster, including the fact that the game will supposedly form the fourth entry to the Modern Warfare series.
The tipster says that this year's Call of Duty will be set in the year 2018 and act as a direct sequel to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, with events taking place in Europe and Asia. Captain Price and Nikolai are also said to return, while the British SAS will be the major focus of the game's campaign as opposed to forcing players to jump between different soldiers' perspectives as in previous Call of Duty games. Nikolai is said to be a playable character, too.
In addition, the tipster says that 'Shadow Company' will once again be the main threat in this next Call of Duty game, with General Shephard having escaped to Europe following the events of Modern Warfare 2 to act as the primary antagonist. Smaller details include the outing of a stealth mission in Amsterdam, and a mission in Shanghai.
In a separate report on DualShockers, an industry insider by the name of Pete Dodd (aka 'Famousmortimer') has spoken about the leap in graphical fidelity from Call of Duty: Ghosts to this year's Call of Duty, writing on NeoGAF that "Internally people are excited for it. It is supposedly a pretty big jump over ghosts graphically."
We already know that development on Sledgehammer's Call of Duty will lead on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, the most obvious benefit of which would be enhanced visuals, so this makes a lot of sense.
As always, rumours are to be taken with a pinch of salt and can only be confirmed when the details are formally announced, but considering these morsels of information were delivered to OnlySp back in December 2013 along with news that Sledgehammer was developing the next Call of Duty – before Activision revealed the news – the report is afforded a smidgeon of plausibility. But not much.
What do you think the chances of Call of Duty 2014 being Modern Warfare 4? Do you hope the series continues down the Modern Warfare story strain, or should Sledgehammer work on an all-new story for the Call of Duty series?

What is the difference between meter and rhythm in poetry? The explanations found from googling were highly confusing.
Sign up

There are situations where they mean the same thing.
But rhythm is the general term, applying to all speech, in every language, as well as sounds in general, provided the sounds are continuous or repetitive, and show some pattern in their continuity or repetition. Music is a good example; it has rhythms, but no meter.
Meter, on the other hand, in the sense intended (there are plenty of others), applies strictly to poetry (or vocal song), and refers to certain specific repetitive patterns of syllables, in a particular language.
Languages vary a lot in how meter works in their poetry. Stress-timed languages like English tend towards rhythms that exploit the "stress group" -- syllables between major stresses -- as in Longfellow's famous
On the other hand, syllable-timed languages like Latin, French, or Japanese tend to count syllables, distinguishing (as in Latin or Greek) between "heavy" syllables, which end with a consonant, or contain phonetically long vowels or diphthongs, and "light" syllables, ending in a short vowel. Patterns of these are also "meter", and the traditional Greek names that mplungjan mentioned were developed by ancient Greeks to describe their poetry.
Meter in syllable-timed language doesn't sound like poetry to speakers of stress-timed languages. For example, while Classical Latin was syllable-timed, and had distinctive long and short vowels, Medieval Latin was stress-timed, and did not retain vowel length distinctions, so Classical poetry is quite different from Medieval.
Virgil's Aeniad (composed in the first century BC) has the following first lines,
which somehow don't feel like they're in meter, the way a Medieval Latin poem like "In Taverna" does, even though they both have strictly-regular meter.
Of course, the fact that end rhyme wasn't invented until the first few centuries AD helps make this sound like poetry.
The point is that poetic meter is specific, and varies between languages, and may not sound metric to speakers of other languages; while rhythm is far more general, extending even to human contraception.
Rhythm describes in general the patterns of stressed and unstressed, or long and short, syllables found in language, and especially in verse. Metre describes the particular kinds of rhythm found in verse, for example, an anapaestic tetrameter (four repetitions in a line of the pattern 'dum-dum-DUM') or an iambic pentameter (five repetitions in a line of the pattern 'dum-DUM').
Seems very clear that rhythm and meter/metre are interchangeable
Metre produces rhythm, i.e. the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables is the metre and the music resulted from this pattern is called rhythm.

Here's what I'm trying to do:
I have a private or user defined string. I would like to define a list of URLs, such as:
These URLs are to RSS content.
I would like to use a string replace on each URL, replacing
{REPLACE_ME} with the string given in the private/user-defined string.
Then, I would like to supply the altered URLs to Fetch Feed (or similar), to get a combined feed.
I'm not sure how to pull this off without creating an individual String Replace and URL Builder for every URL. Ideally, I'd have one string replace (as it's static), and somehow emit the URLs in a Loop, but I can't seem figure out how to do so.

Is the above a pun? In one sense, the word covered is used to different ways (sort of) in that the phrase is usually used to mean a covered responsibility, not literally covered.
At the same time, one use of the word is clearly descended from the other (so much so that maybe it is the same definition of the word that is being used, not two distinct ones).
Is this is pun?

A Tour of New Orleans
4 of 11
Jackson Square
Jackson Square is a famous historic area in the heart of New Orleans's French Quarter, and a favorite venue of street artists and musicians. Originally named Place d'Armes, the area was renamed Jackson Square after the Battle of New Orleans in 1814 to honor General Andrew Jackson. A statue of Jackson has stood in the center of the square since 1856. St. Louis Cathedral, the Cabildo, and the Jax Brewery building are some of the famous structures found within the square. As a part of the French Quarter, Jackson Square has been a National Historic Landmark since the 1960s.
Fun Fact: Jackson Square was originally a park known as the Place d' Armes.

Did you know that dark-colored pets spend about twice as long in shelters as light-colored pets? It's called "Black Dog/Cat Syndrome." To combat this and give black and mostly black-colored cats and dogs the opportunity to find loving homes faster, the Kentucky Humane Society is celebrating "Black Friday" on Nov. 23 with waived adoption fees for black and mostly-black cats and dogs 4 months and older.
All pets adopted from KHS have been spayed or neutered, micro-chipped, vaccinated, given a de-wormer and flea (and for dogs, heartworm) preventatives – services valued at nearly $250. In addition to receiving a $100 Feeders Supply coupon book, adopters also receive more than $100 in KHS pet care gift certificates for behavior training, Doggie Daycare, boarding and more.
For more information call 502.366.3355 or visit www.kyhumane.org to view pictures and profiles of all pets looking for homes at all KHS adoption sites. This adoption special is good at all nine permanent KHS adoption locations, including seven Feeders Supply stores. Adopters must pay any applicable licensing fees and a $20 microchip registration.

WACO (October 12, 2012)—The last of the four horses seized in July from the property of a Waco woman on Madera Drive will be returned to the owner after a state district judge ruled the state didn't provide sufficient proof the horse was treated cruelly.
The other three horses and a donkey were ordered returned to the owner after a hearing on July 12.
Custody of the fourth and oldest horse was given to the Central Texas Humane Society, but once an order is signed, the animal will be returned as well.
The animals were seized after officers went to the property at 2100 Madera Dr. several days earlier, and were forced to euthanize a horse because it was in such poor health.

So, I've been running in both stacky circles and logarithmic circles and I've been wondering: is there a definition of log stack that is "useful"? I can imagine two such definitions:
1) A log stack is a stack along with an effective divisor (could be useful for studying moduli of smooth curves, then)
2) A log stack is a stack over the category of log schemes
Is either one in standard use? Are they equivalent?

COPPERAS COVE (December 28, 2012) --- Almost $3,500 in damages and stolen property were reported to police by Copperas Cove Chamber of Commerce employees just after 8 a.m. Thursday.
Employees returning from Christmas break discovered a back window had been broken out and an iPad Mini, cash from the safe, and thirty-five $25 prepaid American Express gift cards missing from the building at 204 Robertson Avenue.
President of the Copperas Cove Chamber of Commerce Betty Price said the gift cards were very unique because they were part of a promotion aimed at getting people to shop at local, small businesses in the area.
"The cards say 'Shop Small,' on them and we are asking anyone who sees someone trying to use multiple cards like this to call the police," Price said.
Price said the chamber is working with American Express to get the cards cancelled and are also working with the Copperas Cove Police Department to find a suspect in the break-in.
The iPad mini was going to be used during an upcoming raffle for during the Copperas Cove Chamber of Commerce banquet.
Price said the chamber is working to get the iPad replaced.
Anyone with information about the break-in should call Copperas Cove Crime Stoppers at (254) 547-1111.
Tips can be made anonymously and may earn cash rewards if they lead to an arrest.

Teaching Your Baby to Speak
In This Article:
Watch Your Language
Get in the habit of providing your baby with a narrative of your life together even before she can understand any of what you're saying. Whenever she's alert, tell her what you are doing. "Okay, I'm going to change your diaper now. First we have to take off your pants..."
Also describe to her what she is doing. "Look at you! Holding that rattle all by yourself. Can you shake it and make a sound? Good!" Your talking will hold your baby's interest, help her polish her social skills, and lay the groundwork for learning words.
What's the best way to talk to your baby? Let's start with a basic guideline: Try not to feel too silly talking to her. Even though your baby can't understand your vocabulary, she's beginning to understand the conversational process. The more you talk with her, the more she learns.
Feel free to talk to your baby in the same high-pitched, sing-song voice that parents have used with infants for centuries. Infants respond better to higher pitched sounds, so using a high voice will more readily capture your baby's attention.
Talk naturally. You don't need to simplify your words or grammar for your baby's sake. Remember, no matter how much you simplify your language, your baby doesn't understand what you're saying (at least not until around the sixth month). Your baby is not listening to you because she's fascinated by your ideas or your stories. She listens because she's fascinated by anything you do. Your baby just loves to interact with you. She could care less whether you're talking about the weather, your chores, or the thermodynamics of nuclear fusion.
Don't expend a lot of time and energy trying to understand what your baby is saying. She's probably not saying anything yet. (Real words don't usually come until around the first birthday.) For now, she's just trying to make sounds with her mouth and be sociable-just the way she has seen you do it.
By the end of the sixth month, long before she utters her first word, your baby begins to understand a few simple things that you say. So now's the perfect time to start providing a blow-by-blow of your life with baby. In addition to describing what you are doing (or she is doing), point out objects as you name them. Concentrate on immediate sights and sounds. The more you talk to your baby about the here and now and focus on the moment and describe what's there or what's going on, the easier it will be for her to make connections between the sights and sounds and tastes she perceives and the words you attach to them.
If you like children's music, you can choose from a huge selection of children's tapes and CDs. Most are well worth the investment. As long as the CD or tape features songs with a simple, catchy melody and easy or silly lyrics, your child will enjoy listening to it over and over again. Some favorite recording artists for young children (including infants) are Raffi, Barney, the music of Sesame Street, Tom Paxton, Joanie Bartels, and Peter, Paul, and Mary.
From six months (or even earlier) to a year, speak slowly and clearly to give your child a better chance to understand and distinguish individual words. Emphasize important words, especially nouns (person, place, or thing), through vocal stresses and frequent repetition. If you stress the same nouns often enough, your child will soon understand that these sounds she keeps hearing are the names of the things in her world: bottle, diaper, mama, dada. (Even if she doesn't understand their naming function, your baby will at least begin to associate the names with the objects.)
Same Old Song and Dance
Although conversation with you should provide the bulk of your child's pre-verbal language learning, other avenues can teach your baby about language. Like all learning tools for infants (and toddlers and preschoolers, too), the ones that teach language best are those that encourage your child to have fun learning:
Start your child on the road to reading early. Get your baby books of his very own that he can read with you or play with by himself. But at this age, avoid books with paper pages. Your child will not just "read" his books, but will pull on them, tear at them, chew on them, throw them, and drop them.
Sturdy board books, with pages made of thick cardboard, hold up well. So do bath books with pages made of padded vinyl or plastic. Cloth books will probably survive your child's infancy, and texture books like Pat the Bunny will get a lot of use before your child manages to rip out all the pages.
- Songs. Whether it's a bathtub song that you sing while washing up, a diaper-changing song that you've invented, silly sing-along songs by the likes of Raffi or Tom Paxton, "circle time" songs that encourage activity, or soft-sung lullabies at bedtime, your child will love it if you sing to him. The rhythms and melody of music may also facilitate language learning. A year from now, your baby's first extended strings of words may be those he's learned from listening to songs.
If you do buy commercial children's music, don't let the tapes or CDs do all the work. Your child will respond much more readily to you singing along with taped music than he will to a disembodied voice through a speaker. So listen to the music with your child and work on memorizing the lyrics so that you can sing along, or sing your baby's favorite songs on your own when the tape deck or CD player is not available.
- Nursery rhymes. Read or recite nursery rhymes often. Repeat the same rhymes over and over again. Your baby will not mind the repetition (although you may tire of it). In fact, your baby will appreciate the familiarity of favorite pieces. At this age, he learns more from the repetition of a half-dozen or dozen well-chosen rhymes than he would from hearing 300 different rhymes with no reruns. With repeated hearings, your baby will start to pick out different words, if not to speak, at least to understand.
Beginning around your baby's half-birthday, he will especially love nursery rhymes and songs that involve activity: bouncing on your knee (This Is the Way the Gentleman Rides and others), clapping, and finger play (Pat-a-Cake). Later in the year, when he begins standing up, he will also enjoy rhymes and songs that involve standing up and sitting down (Ring Around the Rosy, London Bridge, and the like).
- Books. Even at this early age, many children appreciate the worlds that books open up to them. In buying or borrowing books before your baby's first birthday, pick ones that feature just one colorful illustration of a single object per page. Busy pages that depict full scenes with painstaking detail may be more interesting to you, but they will confuse your baby, who won't know what to look at.
Reading, singing songs, and reciting nursery rhymes can all encourage the development of your infant's language and communication skills. But the main appeal of these activities to your baby is the sound of your voice and the loving attention you give him.

Welcome to the World of Warcraft discussion forums! This forum is here to provide you with a friendly environment where you can discuss all aspects of World of Warcraft with your fellow players. Community forums work best when participants treat their fellow posters with respect and courtesy. Therefore, we ask that you take the time to read through the forum Code of Conduct before posting.
The new search function at the top of the World of Warcraft community site is extremely robust. Please be sure to use it to look for similar topics, blog posts, or web pages that may contain the answer before creating your forum topic. Making a new thread on an existing subject will likely result in your thread being deleted. If you continue to repost it you're likely to have your posting privileges suspended for spamming. Worst of all, you'll be making the other forum goers upset that you didn't take a minute to search before posting.
The new rating system can be used to promote positive discussion, and demote unhelpful posts, or even report posts that violate the forum code of conduct. By hovering over a post you'll be presented with a thumbs up, and a thumbs down icon. Clicking the 'thumbs down' icon you can choose from a few options. Dislike will rate the comment down. If enough people dislike a post it will be darkened, or with a lot of dislikes it will be hidden. You can also quickly report a post as trolling or spam, or use the report function to fill out a more comprehensive description of the violation. You can only rate each post once. Use it wisely to help foster a positive and helpful forum community.
In addition to the Forum Code of Conduct (
), here are some common courtesy guidelines to follow. While these do technically fall within the bounds of the Code of Conduct, these cover more specific examples of common errors that will lead to thread deletions or posting privileges being revoked.
The World of Warcraft forums are for discussion of topics directly related to World of Warcraft
The forums here are specifically to discuss the game and related topics. Any topics not related to World of Warcraft, Battle.net or Blizzard are subject to deletion.
Don't post in all capital letters, use a misleading title, excessive punctuation, non-standard symbols, etc.
While everyone wants their posts read, we ask you to refrain from using these types of tactics in order to bring more people to your thread. Let your post stand on its own merit. Threads violating this guideline are subject to deletion.
Using the words Blizzard, Blue, or any community team members name in a thread topic is frowned upon
Everyone would like Blizzard to read and acknowledge his or her post, and we understand that. However, use of such words in the topic does not help that come to pass. Please make your thread title relevant to the post subject. Threads violating this guideline are subject to deletion.
Posting "First" or IBTL constitutes as spamming
You will be suspended if you create a post that is intended to call out that you achieved a specific reply number in a thread. This is considered spamming. Posting IBTL (in before the lock) is not helpful and if you feel a thread should be moderated please use the rating button to do so.
Do not bump posts
The act of posting simply to bump a thread is considered spamming. This also includes bumping very old threads for no reason (called 'necro bumping' or 'necroing').
Petition posts are frowned upon
These are discussion forums, and as such we ask that you hold discussions. Creating a thread to ask for replies as votes is not a discussion. Threads violating this guideline are subject to deletion.
Do not post about locked or deleted threads
Posts that are moderated have a reason behind the moderation. It's up to you to read the forum code of conduct and these guidelines to determine what you did wrong, learn from your mistake, and attempt to post again without breaking any rules.

The 6 Most Baffling Nobel Prizes Ever Awarded
A whole lot of people complained when Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize for what was apparently two months of ground-breaking work in the fields of teleprompter reading and ab maintenance.
But maybe people shouldn't have been surprised. A look at Nobel prize history shows quite a few WTF choices.
#6. Yasser Arafat Wins for Agreeing to Stop Killing Jews for a While
We trust you know Yasser Arafat? The bug-eyed old Palestinian leader who absolutely, totally hated Israel? He founded a group called Fatah, whose stated goal is the "eradication of Zionist economic, political, military, and cultural existence." Sounding peaceful yet? (And if it is, thanks for reading, Osama!)
Did I do that?
Eventually he renounced terrorism and became more of an unofficial diplomat, traveling across the world representing Palestine. In 1993, Arafat signed the Oslo Accords, which officially ended the Arab-Israeli Conflict.
Oh, wait, no they absolutely did not.
Complete cockbucket.
What Happened?
From the mid-60s to the late-80s, Fatah and its militant arms remained active across the Middle East, especially Israel and Lebanon. They plotted terrorist attacks, participated in guerrilla warfare, trained foreign militant groups and did generally not-so-peaceful stuff. Arafat soon became the international face of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.
Fatah's most famous attack was the Munich massacre, which if you type into Google enough times will make Mossad agents blow through your door and drag you away to "The Farm."
And it doesn't look like this at all.
Fatah, incidentally, is Arabic for "conquest by means of jihad." What's not peaceful about that?
So basically, after decades of murder and mayhem, Arafat decided to call it a day and retire. And for that, he won a Nobel Prize. Summing this path to Nobel stardom up rather nicely, Reason Magazine suggested, "Start an NGO devoted to murder and mayhem-something on the SPECTRE/Al Qaeda/Medellin Cartel model-and then agree to a truce."
#5. Nobel Economics Prize Winner Loses Billions
What would you do with a formula that could predict the markets? You could know exactly when stocks and commodities will go up or down. You could have given Bill Gates 10 bucks in the 70s and become a multi-millionaire 20 years later. You could have spent that million to buy property in the 90s and sold it all off the day before the market collapsed. You would have infinite power over probability and the stock market. Sort of like that X-Men chick Domino.
She can manipulate our probability any day of the week, if you know what we mean.
In the 1970s, economists Myron Scholes, Fischer Black and Robert Merton came up with the Black-Scholes Model for Equity, a name that Robert Merton was no doubt just fucking delighted about. In layman's terms, Black-Scholes tries to predict a stock's long-term value based on previous performances and on whether people are betting for or against it. In other words, it could predict the stock market.
What Happened?
As you would imagine, investors went just giddy over this new discovery. People were predicting huge returns and zero risk. Black died in 1995, but Scholes and Merton won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1997 after the model became a standard across the world. Scholes founded an investment company called Long-Term Capital Management in the early 90s. Naturally, being a world-renowned economist, he had thousands of rich guys clamoring to be his customers.
There was just one problem. Scholes and crew assumed that all investors were cold, logical computers whose every move was a quantified calculation. They forgot to account for the fact that when things get a little dicey, people are fucking retards.
"Shut up!" "No, you shut up!"
When the East Asian Financial Crisis hit, all the stocks that Scholes's precious formula told him were going up came crashing down faster than a cocaine addict going cold turkey after a 10-year bender. In 1998, his firm lost $4.6 billion in four months, and by 2000 it had caved.
Hey, but they still have that Nobel prize!
#4. Two Guys Win the Nobel Prize in Physics for an Accident
How awesome would it be if you accidentally spilled Benadryl into a jar of expired tomato sauce and found the cure for cancer? Or if you fell and discovered a new species of nuclear-powered cockroach staring back at you on the floor? Well, meet Arno Penzias and Robert Woodrow Wilson, two scientists who basically tripped into fame and glory.
Before the 1960s, scientists had no idea how the universe was created. Some were arguing for the Big Bang Theory. Others took up the much less scientific position of "It just fucking happened." However, a few of the Big Bang guys realized that they could find proof: If the universe really was born in a huge Michael Bay explosion, there would still be traces of post-explosion energy left over in space. Three cosmologists predicted that said traces of the Big Bang would be in the form of microwave radiation, and would be distributed pretty evenly across the universe at a temperature of 5-Kelvin. Unfortunately nobody could find it.
That is until 1964, when Wilson and Penzias were working on a new antenna at the Bell At&T Telephone Labs in New Jersey. When they pointed their super-sensitive antenna out to the sky, they picked up a faint, strange radio signal coming from all around them. The brilliant physicists' first guess? That it was interference from pigeon shit.
Pictured: louder than the universe.
What Happened?
After cleaning out the pigeon crap that had built up inside the antenna and shooting every pigeon in sight, the two found that the noise was still there. They ruled out radio interference from New York City, the military and, presumably, aliens. Then they finally heard about the theoretical microwave radiation that better physicists than them had predicted. One scientist, Robert Dicke, was about to design an experiment to find it. Upon getting the call from Penzias, he turned to his colleagues and said, "Well boys, we've been scooped." Which is scientist for "FUUUCK!"
For their extraordinary work in being really lucky, Penzias and Wilson won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1978.
By the way, did we mention that Penzias and Wilson's antenna was only able to detect microwaves because it was equipped with something called a Dicke Radiometer? Yeah, patented by the same Robert H. Dicke.

The human body can repair skin/organ laceration, fractures, even repair nerves - albeit the duration and rate of recovery differ. For instance:
The burn scar on my arm from the hot soldering iron was smooth earlier, now even the scar has grown hair over it. My rib, having suffered a nasty contusion 7 months ago, still troubles me on occasion almost to the point I must stop aught all. A school-mate who suffered a compound fracture of the tibia is recovered to the point he walks again; albeit with a slight limp.
Why can the heart muscles not repair themselves?

And it says mcdummy is going to be with the pats. Thank god he's not coming to kc.
i honestly think i,m more worried who the new OC is going to be than the HC. Probably because i always thought romeo wouldbe it.
As bad as our offense was this year we need a strong,new ideas OC.One that attacks all the time. Maybe now i will start worring about who the new DC willbe and if he can have the killer instint that our defense is starting to get.

Good news. Crennel will still have a hand in the defense and I'm sure he will bring in a defensive coordinator who shares his scheme/philosophy. Now we need an OC
Mike Martz is available.

Hockey - Girls Varsity
Div. I New England Champions • 2006, 2003
Ice hockey was established as a varsity sport for girls in 1991, and since then Berkshire School has developed a strong tradition of excellence. Berkshire entered the New England Prep School league as a Div. II team and, after capturing the New England Championship in 1999, became a Div. I program. During the teams' 15 years at the Div. I level, the Bears have made the playoffs nine times and earned two New England Championships (2003 and 2006).
In a typical season, Berkshire will play around 25 games. The Bears play one of the most competitive schedules in New England with games against the top Div. I teams in Eastern and Western New England. The members of this program pride themselves on building a foundation where character and teamwork are the focus. Players develop their skill sets while working within a team and learning how to play the game at a faster pace. The skills the players learn on and off the ice will help them attain their aspirations of playing at the next level while also setting them up for success outside of the ice rink.
During the 2008-2009 season, the girls moved into the new state-of-the-art athletic center with two sheets of ice, one Olympic sized and the other an NHL rink. The Jackman L. Stewart Athletic Center includes a fitness and training center, which the team uses for its off-ice training, as well as a training room and spacious.

The team had a strong year, finishing with a record of 11-10-3. Eight of the ten losses were by a goal and the Bears found themselves in OT seven times this season. Berkshire took third place at the E.G. Watkins December tournament. The Bears came from a third period, 5-1 deficit against Winchendon to earn a thrilling overtime victory and a chance to play for the bronze against Culver Academy. The girls finished the season with a strong effort and a record of 3-1-2 over the last six games during which they tied the eventual New England championships. The core of the squad returns in 2014 and looks to build on the momentum gained this season.

Our building is constantlly having false fire alarms that are extremely loud. These are beyond the smoke detectors in our home, they are the industrial strobe alarms that can be heard over a block away from our building.
Throughout my son's infancy, there has been a lot of "testing" along with accidental false alarms. I am beginning to worry about emotion and psychological consequences from the alarms. His naps are often interupted and he wakes up scared and confused.
I am trying to make a plea to our development to get a better handle on this and would love any insights, evidence, etc. that might effectively communicate my concerns.

Legislation introduced by city council
By Dave Gossett
STEUBENVILLE City Council members appear ready to oppose a proposed law in the Ohio House of Representatives that is aimed at creating uniformity measures for municipal income tax measures.
The resolution expressing opposition to the pending house bill was introduced Tuesday night by Sixth Ward Councilman David Lalich.
Lalich also introduced legislation during the council sunshine meeting authorizing City Manager Cathy Davison to proceed with emergency repairs to the lower University Boulevard sanitary sewer system.
Assistant Wastewater Superintendent Chuck Murphy told the council two weeks ago the sewer line is in need of immediate repairs.
"We have a very bad section of approximately 1,200 feet of combined sewer pipe about 30 feet deep that runs from the Hampton Inn parking lot to the Seventh Street intersection with University and to the Inland Company. It is made out of block stone and brick and may be more than 100 years old," explained Murphy.
"We have already contacted National Gunite that did similar work on a sewer at the Steubenville entrance to the Market Street bridge and the estimated cost of this project is about $860,000," said Murphy.
"We will be able to do the work repairing the combined sanitary and storm sewer underground without digging up the roadway. But we will also have to backfilll a void that has been created by the leaking sewer line. If that is not done there is the possibility of a sinkhole eventually developing in that area," Murphy advised the council.
Lalich also introduced an ordinance authorizing the city manager to sign a contract with Plugsmart to review the city's utility bills in order to determine if savings can be found.
Read the Wednesday edition of The Herald-Star for all the details from the City Council meeting.

Is it possible to somehow get the map from an SMP server as a mere player? I did some large Redstone circuitry, and I would like to copy it into my SSP map.
If not, can I extract the loaded chunks from memory?
Is it possible to somehow get the map from an SMP server as a mere player? I did some large Redstone circuitry, and I would like to copy it into my SSP map.
If not, can I extract the loaded chunks from memory?
You can use World Downloader.
Press Esc in-game and press L to start downloading. It will download everything you see — about 160 blocks away from you, from bedrock to the sky limit. To stop the download, press L again.
Then, just look in your single-player maps.
You could ask the server admins. Many times they will zip the map and send it to you if you ask nicely and explain the purpose.
It's theoretically possible. Your client will download part of the map before rendering it, so the data is actually transmitted through network and stored in memory, and is accessible by either packet capturing or client modding. Either way is straightforward to implement, and I implemented the latter one with MCP before for a certain complex labyrinth map.
However, such tools for retrieving server map can be easily used for hacking and unfair gameplay. So don't expect any legitimately published ones.
Edit: I came across an implementation called WorldDownloader which may be good for your need. You can try it out.
As ursa_arcadius suggested, assuming you do not have direct access to the server itself (op/admin privileges in-game don't count), you could ask the server admin to send you the map file. If they don't want to send you the whole map, but are willing to devote the time to it, they could take a copy of the map, use MCedit or a similar tool to export just your redstone circuit, and send you that export (which you could in turn import into your single player map). See MCedit and how to use it for more info :)
If you do have direct access to the server itself, of course, you could just shut down the server for a few seconds (make sure no one is logged in!) and copy the map data directly from the server into your own MC world folder, and start the server back up.
As far as I can tell, this isn't possible. You'll need to get your friend to zip up his save file and send it to you via other means.
There isn't unfortunately, the only way to do this is through accessing the machine locally, or having some sort of remote access to the folder. See my previous answer below for instructions on how to do this:
See also:
Depending on what you are using, (AKA: Remote host, Or Hosting on your computer) If on an FTP Enabled server, then Copy the FTB Link from your Server Panel, And then Paste it into the Directory bar in windows explorer, then Copy the folder named "World"(Without quotes)to your desktop,
You can't copy part, only your whole server. Also, it needs to be your server. Otherwise, not possible.
First, locate your .minecraft folder. Assuming you have Windows (because I do), open up Windows Explorer. Click on the bar at the top with your location and type in "%appdata%" (without quotes). Then, click .minecraft. Last, click the saves folder.
Then, make a new window and locate the folder you have your server in. Select your world's folder. Bring both Windows Explorer windows to the front and drag your world folder from the server folder to the saves folder. Rename it anything you want.
Done! Now, you should be able to find your server in your SSP! This works vice versa. You just have to name the world "world".

Rated 4 out of 5 by TEX38 from Love the fit not the color I have this boot in black, brown and now in light brown (tan). I am extremely unhappy with the color of this pair of boots. The toe and heel areas are scuffed. The top of the shoe is spotted and/or scratched.

Rated 4 out of 5 by rebramp from Needs to be worked in, but comfortable & stylish After being shut out around the holiday season on a similar boot, this style suddenly became available and fit what I was looking for. However, the actual fit of my 8.5W is a little narrower than some of Rockport's other styles and, therefore, will take some breaking in as the leather stretches. Nonetheless, the boot is comfortable and not in need of return. Obtaining this boot on sale was an added benefit.

Rated 1 out of 5 by lostinwine from They hurt and have no give. This was to be my third pair of Rockport brown zip boots. They have always been 11.5 wide. I order this pair and from the start they were tight. Since they are leather and I know they need to break in to soften, I decided to keep them. Well, now I have a useless pair of boots. They have not broken in at all. The heel cup is so tight, it actually caused a bone spur in my ankle, a so called 'pump bump'. I am very disappointed with this pair of boots. I actually wonder if they are correctly sized. Overall, I am dissappointed in my purchase and I will now not have confidence in online purchasing of shoes. Since, there is no Rockport near me, I now must find a new dress shoe company with wides. Good Luck with your purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by WayToGo from Ultra comfort, nice leather, versitile These boots may be the most comfortable I've worn. The subtle leather scrunch treatment makes things interesting. The simple boot style and toe shape is one I've been looking for. Perfect weight for an all-around boot.

Rated 4 out of 5 by green2u from Get a half size smaller Had to return for a half size smaller. Definitely a larger shoe when compared to my regular 11M Rockport shoes. Works well half size smaller and a medium thickness sock. Not much arch support but still very comfortable and stylish. The tan mocs leather isn't nice enough for formal dress, but great for casual. I normally have problems with chafing on the upper part of my shin with these type of boots, but not with this pair. I am ordering a pair of black now.

I couldnt wait to put them on. Unfortunately, one shoe was too narrow and the other was just... wron fitting somehow. This would have been my 3rd active pair of Rockports, but I sent them back. I really wish they fit! They were amazing. I would say do not go too narrow and order a size small as always with Rockports. I am a 14 but wear 13 in Rockports. The boots were on clearance for around $65, but now I guess I know why.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MadeInTheUsaGuy from Perfect Fit, look and with Rockport's comfort! A perfect blend: fit, look and the comfort of being a Rockport shoe; finally, I have found my ideal boot. I have had these for over a month and I'm still satisfied. I walk, motorcycle, bicycle & drive to work (depending on the day), and this boot has been ideal for any type of commute.
