I saw the new piece, Fiesta Baroca, a few days ago. Unfortunately, I think the negative review it received in the NY Times is pretty accurate. The choreography is thin, and the piece is WAY too long to maintain the viewer's interest. There is a lot of pointless, rapid arm movement. The best parts are the 2 pdd, which are very acrobatic in nature. On a positive note, the costumes were very colorful, and I enjoyed listening to the recorded opera music to which the dance is set. Also on a positive note, I enjoyed the first piece on the program, Suite Otis. I didn't stick around for the final piece, Revelations, since I have seen it so many times in the past. The audience applauded both Suite Otis and Fiesta with hearty applause. In Fiesta, the Ailey dancers are so much better than the material they are given to perform.
Sounds like we were at the same performance, but I don't remember seeing you there - am I losing it? I saw that program on 12/14 (eve) and then saw the first Ailey & Ellington program last night. Agree about Suite Otis & Festa Barocca, I enjoyed the first piece, loved both the pdd and the costumes in Festa Barocca but could have skipped the rest. And it was definitely too long. The live music for the Ellington program was wonderful and brought a different energy to the performance. Attendance on Sunday was pretty good, but ast night it was packed! The gallery was closed but the rest of the theater was sold out except for the last row or 2 in the extreme sides of the rear mezz.
I stayed for Revelations both times- I can never see it often enough. It would be worth it to me, even if only for the sheer joy the dancers exhibit in the Move, Members, Move section however there is usually wonderful dancing throughout. On Sunday Constance Stamatiou & Anthony Burell danced Fix Me Jesus - they were new to me and did a surprisingly good job considering that I thought I'd seen the definitive version from Graf & Roberts last season. Last night it was Mr & Ms Sims, who were trancsendant. In fact, last night could have been subtitled Linda Celeste Sims night. Renee Robinson withdrew from the program so Sims danced all of her roles (except the umbrella woman in Revelations) as well as her own. It was remarkable to see her in Night Creature, then excerpts from Caravan, Pas De Duke, Three Black Kings and finally, in the Fix Me section from Revelations and then leading the finale & encore. It was quite a marathon. ALL of the dancing has been fabulous this season, in adition to Ms Sims I especially enjoyed Courtney Brene Corbin as the umbrella woman both nights, Clifton Brown as the second "Sinner Man" last night (amazing series of jetes, among other things), Hope Boykin in everything she did and I love Yannick LeBrun more every time I see him.

My work computer has a trojan horse that I'm tired of trying to get rid of, so I've decided just to wipe my hard drive and install ubuntu.
First question, I am under the understanding that simply installing ubuntu will wipe my computer. True? Second, I downloaded ubuntu onto a dvd (it wouldnt fit on a cd) from my mac and popped it in my pc (windows xp). When booting, it opened windows automatically. So I tried restarted and hitting f12 to force it to start from the disc drive. It still wouldn't go. Nothing even opened. It just said it wouldn't work. Is this a problem with what I'm doing or my pc?
My work computer has a trojan horse that I'm tired of trying to get rid of, so I've decided just to wipe my hard drive and install ubuntu.
For 1:
It can wipe your disk, but you can select other settings too. The installer has partition software installed, with which you can change anything to your likings.
For 2:
Did you extract the iso before burning? Because that isn't what you are supposed to do.
yes is wipe your disk but you can select side-by-side installation option to.
Some time it might be DVD drive problem you can try installation using bootable USB drive http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows or mac http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx
You can't just copy the iso to the DVD, you have to burn the iso (disk image) to the DVD. In Windows if you double click on the ISO file it will normally open Nero or whatever burning software you have and prompt you to insert a DVD ready for burning. Change the burn parameters to the slowest possible speed for the best chance of making a reliable boot disk.
More information in the documentation here. Note the section on checking the md5sum of the iso before burning. This can save you a lot of time and frustration if you got a corrupted download the first time.

The Stroller: Why, why why?
Published: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 4:08 p.m.
Vivian Bradburn of Union is loaded with questions: "Why is it that the nonsense of political correctness can seem so right when presented by a liberal do-gooder? Why is it that an amendment to the Constitution reads so clearly yet gets so muddled when deciphered by a progressive? Why is it that when President Barack Obama wants to seat a crony in a high-ranking office, he could have us believe that Attila the Hun was a wonderful combat veteran and therefore is qualified for secretary of defense? Why is it that police catch the bad guys, and the judges give them probation? Why is it that Republicans believe they can henceforth win elections by toadying to illegal immigrants? Can't they think of another way to lose? Why is it that the news media harp on greediness of old folks on Medicare and Social Security while giving a pass to the greediest group in the world, the U.S. Congress and president? Why is it that this president is allowed to do an end run around Congress and make his own laws? Is Congress obsolete? Why is it that the bigger government gets the more corrupt it is? And why in the name of common sense is it necessary to send women into combat? Nothing is more ridiculous than the fair and gentler sex in full combat gear! Why is it that we have adopted that barrel of snakes in the Middle East who sink their fangs into us every chance they get? And why is it when Democrats win they have majority rule, and when they lose they have minority rights? Just curious."
'MANY THANKS': Gwen Longshore of Moore is singing the praises of Dr. James Carter and his staff in the Mary Black Memorial Hospital emergency department. "I can't thank them enough for the wonderful care and consideration given to my husband, Ralph, when he was there because of severe chest pains," she says. "It is good to know we have such caring people at that facility. After several tests to be sure of what was going on, Ralph was treated and released. Many thanks to the doctor and staff."
GOLF COURSE 'RIDERS': After a round of golf, four women sat around the clubhouse for a chat. The golf pro approached them and asked, "How did your game go?" The first woman said she had a good round and added that she had 25 riders. The pro was a bit puzzled. The second woman said she had a very good round as well with 16 riders. The third woman said her round was average and that she only had 10 riders. The fourth golfer admitted that she played the worst round of the day and had two riders. The pro was confused, not knowing what the term "rider" meant. But because he didn't want to look dumb, he made a polite remark, wished the women well and left. He then approached the bartender and asked, "Can you tell me what these ladies are talking about when they refer to riders?" "Sure," said the bartender. "A rider is when you hit a shot long enough to ride on the golf cart to get to your ball."
ODDS AND ENDS: Two of Spartanburg's native bands will be on the David Reid Theatre stage Saturday for a benefit concert. The 8 p.m. show will feature Mill Billy Blues, an acoustic quartet of men defining the indigenous soulful music of Upstate South Carolina, and the original Sparkletones, a popular 1950s band. Tickets are $11 for adults and $6 for students and can be purchased by either calling 542-2787 or go to http://www.chapmanculturalcenter.org/.

What Questions Should You Ask About The New Health Care Reforms Of The Beebe Administration?
One week ago, Governor Mike Beebe revealed that he had been planning fundamental and unprecedented changes in the state's Medicaid system, in concert with the Obama Administration, with little or no consultation with state legislators. At this point, almost nothing is known about the Beebe plan beyond a six-page memo his office has distributed. Policymakers and citizens who are concerned about this massive policy shift should begin by asking Governor Beebe the following questions:
Who will decide "best practices" and "appropriate care"?
Government officials. Beebe's proposal says: "Medicaid will…work with providers and others over the next two years to (1) identify best practices for different diagnostic episodes, (2) create the reimbursement structure for those episodes…" Because physicians care for individual patients with individual needs and choices, this method subverts medical practice. The Beebe proposal will standardize care and stunt innovation, while forcing doctors to answer to bureaucrats who will focus on lowering costs, not improving health.

Upgraded Architect and none of my projects work
I upgraded architect and now I just get a blank screen whenever I do a preview. I am using version 2.1.0 build 676 release channel: 2.1-stable. I attached my project that used to work just fine before the build.
11 Dec 2012 12:55 PM #2
Select the Application node in the inspector, and find its "stores" config. Notice that the last item, "facilityStore", is not capitalized. Change it to a capital F and your project loads just fine.Jason Johnston

In the spirit of "teach a man to fish", here's a tip to follow in case you find yourself in a similar situation in the future:
Find the Library item under Resources in the project inspector, and check its "Debug" checkbox. Then save and preview your project again, and since it's now using the debug version of the library you'll often get more detailed debugging info in the console. In this case, you would have seen:
Uncaught Error: The following classes are not declared even if their files have been loaded: 'Presidents.store.facilityStore'. Please check the source code of their corresponding files for possible typos: 'app/store/facilityStore.js
This likely would have pointed you in the right direction, noticing that facilityStore.js should be capitalized.Jason Johnston

Thank you so much for your help. The "Debug" option in the library will probably be a lifesaver in the future.

Is it starting to warm up where you are? What are you excited to do?
I have the spring itch and I've already been riding my bike around the trails that are snow free....is it spring in your neck of the woods? What have you been waiting to do with the arrival of nicer weather?
13 Answers answer
Living in North Texas I never look forward to it warming up. The winters aren't terribly cold here and they don't last near long enough. We've already had days in the upper 80's (I think we hit 90 once or twice). If we don't get more rain this "spring" it's going to get blazing hot much sooner and likely stay that hot for much longer than I'm comfortable with. In fact, in the summer, I'm more likely to want to do things indoors because it's just so incredibly hot (100+ for much of the day with mild to moderate humidity just isn't fun for anyone).
Very true...this time of year, I'd be headed down to Hueco Tanks to do some climbing if I were in your neck of the woods!
Agree re N TX rather, too hot too soon. But this week is nice.
Yes, a bit, but more snow expected next week (NH). Can't wait for the sand and salt to get off the roads so I can put the top down on the Mustang and just cruise!
We saw 80+ today....first time in months. I'm ready to get outdoors and exercise.
When the weather is warmer, we show movies in a 'backyard theater'.
That, and getting to use my wood shop again, which is my patio in acceptable weather.
I'm most excited to be able to run in shorts and t-shirt again.
At least once a year I try to go on backpacking/flyfishing trip to beautiful Seneca, WV. We pack in about 5-7 miles and flyfish all weekend. It's difficult, but incredible at the same time.
pfffft! It's been moving in and out of upper-70's for the last 6 weeks here. We usually get only 9 days of actual "spring" before way-too-hot-and-too-long summer sets in, so I try to enjoy spring when it's really here. Meanwhile, we take what pleasure we can in faux-spring.
I enjoy checking out my garden to see what plants are poping up and trying to remember when I put them in!!!!!
Snowed a bit yesterday, but I know Spring is around the corner. Looking forward to wearing shorts, and not having to put anything over my t-shirt before I leave the house.
Also looking forwarding to redoing my garden, kayaking, and just general putzing around outside.
It's snowing here too & we're below our average temps for this time of year, but hopefully it'll warm up soon. I agree about wanting to not have to wear a heavy winter coat, but I'm not looking forward to my allergies starting up anytime soon!
@johnnys13: Hueco Tanks is my neck of the woods, far west Texas. It was in the high 80's yesterday, already getting too hot to take the dog to the dog park after 10am. I don't mind the heat so much, I don't like the cold. What I am not lookig forward to is the return of mosquitoes. I love being outside and having my house open, but soon the little suckers wil drive me behind closed doors.
I live in NW MT, home of black & brown bears, which are coming out of hibernation now. During this 'shoulder season' between skiing & paddling we are generally occupied with busy work around the house and getting our various gear out & inspected before the warm weather hits. Hiking is not recommended yet, since the bears have young and are very hungry. We'll start taking the kayaks (big-ass touring boats) out as soon as conditions allow, but the snowmelt is frigid and water levels are rising. Camping is fun now since the weather is a little chilly for tourists but the campgrounds are mostly empty.

If there is one five-year-old girl you definitely don't want to mess with, it's this one.
The daughter of a dog training expert, her dad provided her with her very own German Shepherd bodyguard to keep "bad guys" at bay.
You will see her dog engage the bad guy and as soon as the second one tries to reach for her ...he lets go of the first one to engage the second bad guy. He doesn't let either of the bad guys get to her. He doesn't let either one place a single finger on her.
There's a good boy.

State's First Volunteer Autism Registry and Resource Site Debuts
LITTLE ROCK, AR. (Feb. 3, 2011) - Arkansas families affected by autism have their first chance to participate in a volunteer registry that will track how many people in the state have autism spectrum disorders with the debut of a new website, ArkansasAutismAlliance.org. Families will also find a host of autism resources compiled on the site, which is a collaboration between Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH), the Arkansas Children's Hospital Research Institute (ACHRI) and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS).
"This website will help families understand what's happening with autism in Arkansas," said Jill James, PhD, director of the Autism Metabolic Genomics Laboratory at ACHRI, a professor of Pediatrics in the UAMS College of Medicine, and an autism researcher who developed the site. "Until now, there has not been a comprehensive website where families could go to find the resources and services that are available in Arkansas, the latest on credible research and the autism events that affect us here in the state."
At ArkansasAutismAlliance.org, families can find links to local organizations, support groups, opportunities to participate in research, bios of Arkansas autism specialists and more.
The registry component will help researchers at the collaborating institutions find out more about how many people in Arkansas have autism spectrum disorders and where they live.
"Right now, we don't even know how many families in Arkansas are affected by autism," Dr. James said. "The registry could be a huge resource for helping us allocate resources to communities and understand where the needs exist."
Families are encouraged to explore ArkansasAutismAlliance.org and volunteer their information in the registry. The info will be maintained in a database, and families can agree to be contacted if they wish to participate in surveillance activities and research projects.
This registry was developed using REDCap Survey (Research Electronic Data Capture) supported by the Center for Clinical and Translational Research at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (NCRR/NIH 1 UL1 RR029884).
Arkansas Children's Hospital is the only pediatric medical center in Arkansas and one of the largest in the United States serving children. The campus spans 28 city blocks and houses 316 beds, a staff of approximately 500 physicians, 80 residents in pediatrics and pediatric specialties and more than 4,000 employees. The private, nonprofit healthcare facility boasts an internationally renowned reputation for medical breakthroughs and intensive treatments, unique surgical procedures and forward-thinking medical research - all dedicated to fulfilling our mission of enhancing, sustaining and restoring children's health and development. ACH recently ranked No. 85 on FORTUNE 100 Best Companies to Work For®. For more information, visit www.archildrens.org.
ACHRI provides a research environment on the ACH campus to meet the needs of the UAMS faculty. Research scientists at ACHRI conduct clinical, basic science, and health services research for the purpose of treating illnesses, preventing disease and improving the health of children everywhere.
UAMS is the state's only comprehensive academic health center, with colleges of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Health Related Professions and Public Health; a graduate school; a 540,000-square-foot hospital; a statewide network of regional centers; and six institutes: the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute, the Jackson T. Stephens Spine & Neurosciences Institute, the Myeloma Institute for Research and Therapy, the Harvey & Bernice Jones Eye Institute, the Psychiatric Research Institute and the Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging. UAMS has 2,836 students and 761 medical residents. It is the state's largest public employer with more than 10,000 employees, including nearly 1,150 physicians who provide medical care to patients at UAMS, Arkansas Children's Hospital, the VA Medical Center and UAMS' Area Health Education Centers throughout the state.

The real thing.
Women's freeride shorts seem to be few and far between. It's easy to find women's shorts for road biking or even XC mountain biking, but they always fall a little short on durability and freeride style.The fact is, they just fall a little short–five or six inches short–of looking like they really mean business. Let's be honest, the knee pads and short shorts look worked fine for roller skaters in the '70s. These days it should be outlawed. Fortunately, the folks at ZOIC agree wholeheartedly. The Women's Navaeh Short is a real-deal freeride short. Save the short shorts for the boardwalk.
The most important feature of the Navaeh Short is its
chamois liner. The chamois, called the ZO-Tech, is ZOIC's
highest-quality, multi-level, stretch chamois. It's even made with
recycled polyester so it gives a little back. The chamois cushions
impacts and reduces vibrations in the saddle. While you may not even
really feel these vibrations, your muscles do, and all that shock and
vibration causes fatigue. The liner is also fully removable. You can
wear the Navaeh Short with the liner, then ditch the liner when you just need a
casual walkshort. You can even wear the liner with other shorts to
transform them from casual shorts to riding shorts.
The Navaeh Short's list of features doesn't end with its removable chamois liner, though, Not even close. The whole body of the Navaeh is made with a stretch material that won't bind or limit your range of motion. The fabric also pulls moisture away from your skin to keep you dry and comfortable. A Fusion Gusset inseam further increases the short's range of motion and eliminates seat hang-ups. The Navaeh also comes with plenty of pockets–two front and two thigh– so you have plenty of room for your essentials. There's even a dedicated media pocket for your phone or MP3 player with a headphone cord control grommet and loop to avoid snags.
As far as fit is concerned, the Navaeh's cuffs falls at the knee. The leg holes are loose enough that they don't interfere with knee pads. ZOIC also included waist adjustments so you can really dial the fit to your exact specifications. The flat front waistband is secured with a standard zip-and-double-snap closure.
ZOIC Women's Navaeh Mountain Bike Shorts come in sizes XS through XL. They are available in Black, Castle, and Wisp.

Awesome Shorts!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Small
These shorts are awesome! After years of riding in old bike shorts, it was time for an upgrade. Little did I know how far women's mtn bike shorts had come since I last bought a pair! These shorts are super comfortable, and fit perfectly. They also have the ability to allow you to switch out liners, so that you can wear them multiple times before washing! The fabric is thin and allows for a lot of breathability, but it is super durable as well. After a few snags, I am yet to rip or damage these shorts! I just wish I had them in all the colors now!!
These are great
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
So far they have handled several crashes really well and have protected my thighs from rocks. The liner is not so flattering so I've replaced that already. I ordered a Medium but could definitely fit into a small. Love to adjustable waist band and the material of the shorts, super soft and comfy.
Don't bother
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
So...the outer shorts really are nice. I own an earlier version and wore them til I blew the seems out. These fit larger than that pair in the outer short. Inner chamois band around the thigh is stupid tight and since the outer shorts are thin it is very visible when wearing both. I bought a M and I am 5'4 and 130 with muscular (mtn biking ) thighs. If you are willing to pay 70$ for just a pair of thin stretchy shorts than these are great but if you want a wearable chamois with said shorts then don't bother its not worth the price because you will have to purchase a separate chamois. I don't understand the HUGE disparity between men and women's mtn bike shorts! Functionality is totally lost for "style" and even that is lacking with such a short chamois inseam to outer short length and rise in the waist.
Lightweight, stretchy
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
These are made of a really thin, stretchy material. I haven't crashed in them yet, but they fit well. I'm a curvy 5'6" between 130 and 135 lbs and the medium fit well. I like that the waist is high enough to not slide down during rides. It's really hard to find good shorts!
Great shorts!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: XS
These shorts are made of a lightweight, comfortable material that moves with you. I am 115lb. have narrow hips and the XS fits perfectly. The chamois is a little thin, but I just wear a thicker one when I go on longer rides. Shorts look great on and off the bike!
Don't buy the hype
The liner is great but the shorts themselves look really cute but we're not built to last. The second time I wore them was in a race and I blew out several seams after a gentle crash. Not worth the money. Maybe it's time to buy men's shorts cause they seem to be better built.
Nice short - Good Value - Fit small
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: Medium
Got these today, have to return them cuz they are skin tight :(. Usually a medium in women's bottoms, but these fit more like a small. Material is nice as is chammy. Hope the larges fit.
Live in these!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I highly recommend these shorts for cycling, walking, hanging out. So comfortable and have great cargo pockets for storing my iPhone, keys, wallet, you name it. Nice stretch so no chaffing or discomfort in movement. On top of all that they have a flattering cut. Love the removable liner. Not really thick but good enough and it doesn't feel awkward when you are off
the bike and walking.
Great MTB Shorts! I would buy many pairs
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
These shorts are comfortable and flattering. I like that they have many pockets and are slightly stretchy. Another feature I like about these shorts is that the chamois is removable, so you can wear bibs or other chamois shorts underneath. The chamois that is included is quite comfortable; it provides cushioning in the sit bone area and does not rub against soft tissue. However, the material of the chamois short is thin, thinner than a bib or short you would wear alone.
Overall these shorts appear to be high quality, as I have crashed a few times in them without any tearing, and are extremely comfortable! I highly recommend them.
Nice, but wish they came without chamois
Wish Zoic made a chamois-free version of these shorts, as the outside shorts are good, but the liner not so much. I would remove the liner and just wear a higher quality Pearl Izumi or other chamois. Higher rise in the front than other shorts. I like the long inseam. I'm a size 4 in pants/shorts, and wear a Small in these Zoic shorts.
Favorite MTB Shorts
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Love, love, love these shorts! I have tried several brands of baggie MTB shorts, and these are by far my favorite. All the other ones I've tried are very dumpy looking. These shorts have a very flattering cut, are super soft and breathable, and have just enough stretch to make them comfy for riding. Plenty of secure pockets, which is rare in a women's MTB short. The size chart is very accurate for these shorts (I typically wear a medium in most brands, and was a medium in this as well). Will definitely get more in other colors to get me through the season.
Comfortable, utilitarian
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I really like these shorts. Love the removable chamois lining. Love that it has so many pockets with water-resistant zipper. Women's gear often lacks men's in that we don't have many pockets, but this one has 'em. It also fits better than the pictures make it look. it doesn't wing out at the hips like that. It also fits really well. Not too baggy in the butt. i've tried some on that makes it look like I'm wearing some diaper. Chamois is comfortable. I like the length, too. Hits me just above the knee (I'm 5'2" 120 lbs). I got a size XS and love the fit. Even better that it's on sale!
Great Shorts both on and off the trail!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Bought these for my wife. Her review: Wonderful shorts plus great liner--what a great deal. Love the stretchy fabric that dries quickly. Lots of pockets that you can actually use. They fit great and look good. I love them so much I just wear them around the house. The liner can easily be worn with other pants so this set is very versatile! Highly recommended to all of my friends.

NEW CUMBERLAND - On the last leg of the "God Answers Prayer" community prayer walk on Saturday, participants arrived at the George Hines Park gazebo to the strains of Leonard Cohen's modern-day hymn "Hallelujah."
It was a fitting end to an event that saw New Cumberland Christians of all stripes put aside their differences - under sunny skies, no less - and pray for the good of the community.
"We all serve the same God and work in the same community," the Rev. Robert Staub, pastor of Trinity United Methodist Church, reminded the participants as they, at one point during the prayer walk, stood outside First Presbyterian Church.

ASKING GOD — Elizabeth Staub, 10, of New Cumberland, left, and her twin sister, Cassandra Staub, walk down Ridge Avenue on Saturday for the third-annual "God Answers Prayer" community prayer walk in New Cumberland. Participants walked about 1.5 miles to George Hines Park. -- Stephen Huba
"We could put one big bubble over this and have one big fellowship," he said.
Among the participating churches were: Trinity United Methodist Church, Point Pleasant United Methodist Church, Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, First Presbyterian Church, New Cumberland Christian Church and New Cumberland Free Methodist Church.
Organizers of the third-annual prayer walk said the event is about Christians leaving the confines of their church buildings and putting some mileage on their faith. The ecumenical goodwill in evidence on Saturday now needs to be put to good use, said Pat Swiger, a member of the prayer walk organizing committee.
"My dream is to have the whole Northern Panhandle walking - including people on the other side of the river," she said. "We'll just see where it goes."
The prayer walk began in two places - the Hancock County Prosecutor's Office parking lot and the ballfields on South Chester Street - at 10 a.m. Saturday. From there, about 50 walkers made their way north, stopping and praying at various stations along the way.
One group walked along Ridge Avenue and stopped at the intersection of Porter Street, Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, Nixon Funeral Home/New Cumberland Rx Center, Trinity United Methodist Church, First Presbyterian Church, the Hancock County Courthouse and New Cumberland City Park.
Pausing only long enough for a water break, participants prayed for families, first-responders, law enforcement personnel, schools, local government officials and people with substance abuse and legal problems. The walk was organized strategically to cover all parts of the city, including some known for illegal drug activity, Swiger said.
"We were assured that all the drug dealers were run out of town," she said. "Some of these areas are really depressed."
Participating clergy said they see value in the prayer walk because it gets lay people involved and demonstrates the power of prayer.
"Some of the things we've prayed about, we've seen some movement on this past year," Staub said.
"I think it helps people to see the needs of the community and to realize our dependence on God," said the Rev. Rick Tinsky, pastor of New Cumberland Christian Church.
Dorothy Swearingen, a Catholic member of the organizing committee, said the prayer walk is only one example of ecumenical cooperation in New Cumberland.
The New Cumberland Food Closet, an outreach of United Church Social Services, wouldn't be as effective as it is without the contributions of area churches.
"It's a wonderful opportunity for all denominations to work for one cause," she said.
The Food Closet distribution is done from First Presbyterian Church on the third Friday of the month.
Participating churches support it through monetary gifts, food donations and volunteer labor.
New Cumberland churches also cooperate for the annual Fall River Fest, the Easter sunrise service and the Down by the Riverside event in August.

Just looking for clarification on this. I'm DM and all my player's just leveled up so I'm making sure they did this properly. When using the character sheet's damage workspace, is this just for basic attacks? Or does the same formula apply to powers as well? Say a power does 1d12 + STR mod damage. Is it just the flat ability mod? Or are the weapon proficiency, feats, and enhancements added to this as well?

Mark Cuban Named 2014 PBA Business Forum Keynote Speaker
The Professional Beauty Association (PBA) recently announced famed businessman, TV personality and Dallas Mavericks owner, Mark Cuban, as the keynote speaker for the 2014 PBA Business Forum held during PBA Beauty Week. Hosted by Cosmoprof North America (CPNA), PBA Beauty Week is North America's largest, most inclusive beauty event, offering unlimited networking, education and business-to-business opportunities to all sectors of the professional beauty industry. PBA Beauty Week will be held at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, July 13 - 15, 2014.
After graduating from Indiana University, Cuban moved to Dallas, TX and created MicroSolutions, a computer consulting service. He went on to later sell MicroSolutions in 1990 to CompuServe. In 1995, he and long-time friend Todd Wagner came up with an Internet-based solution to listen to Hoosiers Basketball games in Texas. That solution was Broadcast.com - streaming audio over the Internet. In just four short years, Broadcast.com (then Audionet) would be sold to Yahoo for $5.6 billion dollars. Since his acquisition of the Dallas Mavericks in 2000, he has overseen the Mavs competing in the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history in 2006 - and becoming NBA World Champions in 2011. They are currently listed as one of Forbes' most valuable franchises in sports. In addition to the Mavs, Cuban is chairman and CEO of AXS TV, one of ABC's "Sharks" on the hit show Shark Tank, and an investor in an ever-growing portfolio of businesses. He lives in Dallas with wife Tiffany, daughters Alexis and Alyssa, and son Jake.
Attend the 2014 PBA Business Forum to learn about key PBA programs and initiatives that are helping shape the future of the professional beauty industry.

Beauty Bus Foundation Honors Deborah Carver at 5th Annual Beauty Drive
The Beauty Bus Foundation (beautybus.org) held its 5th annual Beauty Drive on Sunday, April 27 at the California Science Center's Wallis Annenberg Building in Los Angeles. This year the organization, which provides complimentary beauty services to terminally ill people and their caregivers, honored Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Deborah Carver, Publisher and CEO of Creative Age Publications, which produces DaySpa Magazine, in addition to six sister magazines and the hairstyle inspiration books, Inspire. Carver was presented the honor for her company's ongoing support of the charitable organization, which in five years has provided 4,300 services to more than 3,000 people and donated 15,000-plus Bags of Beauty to those in need.
Said Carver, "Beauty, and the beauty industry, does make a difference in the quality of life for the terminally and chronically ill and their caregivers. I've witnessed how The Beauty Bus Foundation improves the welfare and psychological well-being of those in need, and I am honored to support such a worthwhile fundraising event."
Wendy Levine, Co-Founder, spoke about the Beauty Bus' humble beginnings. The charitable organization started after Levine's younger sister Melissa received in-home beauty treatments as she was battling a terminal illness. "Melissa told me how it made her feel normal," Levine said, and after Melissa passed away, Levine and her cousin Alicia Liotta started Beauty Bus. The first year, Levine says, only 11 clients received beauty services. Now, thousands of people are receiving services, including Joan DePriest, who is a caregiver for her husband of 55 years, Herb. "It's like a party when the Beauty Bus arrives," DePriest smiled. "And as the Beauty Bus departs, a beauty professional never fails to say, 'Thank you for allowing me to help you today.' This to me personifies the Beauty Bus."
Dermalogica Scottsdale Celebrates Its One-Year Anniversary by Supporting Women's Economic Empowerment
The Dermalogica location in Scottsdale recently celebrated its one-year anniversary by honoring International Women's Day with an event to benefit Dermalogica's philanthropic arm, Financial Independence Through Entrepreneurship (joinFITE.org). The event kicked off with an informal fashion show in partnership with Phoenix Fashion Week, where models posed with their personalized Face Mapping skin analysis prescription sheets, emphasizing the need for a "custom designed" skin care regimen from a Dermalogica trained professional skin therapist.
The event supported FITE through $25 MicroZone treatments, which generated a matching donation from The Dermalogica Foundation to fund a micro-loan to a woman entrepreneur within the FITE network. During the evening, 16 micro-loans were funded, making progress toward the long-term FITE goal of funding 50,000 women worldwide.

text: This is one of those movies that was stuck in development hell for years. I first heard about it back in 2002, when there was still some hope that Arnold Schwarzenegger would reprise the role. This year the film will finally be released (August 2011), but Conan will be played by Jason Momoa. Ever since Arnold was officially out, I've had low expectations for this film. Momoa will also be featured in the upcoming Game of Thrones (playing a warrior chieftain named Khal Drogo) but that's still six weeks away, so I have yet to see him in action. The few Conan set pics that were leaked online didn't look very promising. Still... there's a small part of me that hopes this turns out to be a pleasant surprise. Particularly since I finally got around to reading some of Robert E. Howard's original Conan stories a couple of years ago. I'm also posting this today because a new "motion poster" for the film was just released. I have to say, the poster is pretty awesome. Not too thrilled about the title, though. Calling it Conan The Barbarian again? Not sure whether this can top the original film (which I love).

I can see how you would think that, but it's not true. ASCII has text characters in it but it also contains non-printable characters. It's also debatable whether any character is text and since I don't know how to represent a monochrome green monitor without characters I took a chance.

I see asterisks, forward slashes, semi-colons and commas in your shirt comp's detailed image. Those are characters. That counts as text, and it actually isn't debatable - we can link precedents to rejections because of this type of thing. Sorry!

Frankly, I don't understand the practical importance of vtable. For me it is just a theoretical concept which needs to be mugged up since interviewer will ask it surely. Can anyone shed some light on it that why interviewers love vtable? I don't see how knowledge of vtable makes me a competent c++ developer :-|

It's just one way of checking if you know something. And I don't really enjoy that it's the deciding factor in a lot of places.
Maybe it's just a coincidence, but every project that had runtime-polymorphism, vtabled classes, pure virtual classes were nightmare to maintain. Overengineered, spaghetti code, diamond problems, non virtual destructors, poor copy construction logics etc.
Ok, every good C++ programmer should be familiar with these concepts, and most gotchas that come with it, but why there is so much accent on this dangerous and overabused topic in interviews, I have no idea.
It shows that you know how the

The interviewer doesn't know how to actually determine whether you can pad their bottom line -- in fact, I doubt they even have a clue just what their (company's) bottom line is!
Someone that is smart and gets things done can look up all they need to know about vtables with a quick search.
As I said up above, I used to do a lot of COM programming, and had to deal with vtables somewhat.
But I never had to deal with them in general/generic C++ programming.
Up above, we see a prime example of just how broken this process is:
Someone is claiming that if you don't know how vtables are implemented, then you don't know C++ and are, in fact, incompetent.
I've been lucky to have known 2 programmers that have been almost singlehandedly responsible for millions in revenue... and neither one of them knew about vtables.
One knew design patterns like the back of his hand, but the other was just barely above the "C with classes" level and apparently never heard of the DRY principle.
But they could both crank out code, and both made good products that were rock-solid and well-built.
Like for any "good to know but not essential" concept, knowing what a vtable is shows that you know more than the average programmer.
Inheritance is an important object-oriented concept and c++ supports it. Almost all c++ frameworks use it in one way or the other. In c++, inheritance involves the usage of virtual methods. Testing the knowledge of how its all stitched up by the language, is a good way to measure your experience with c++.
I'm one of the interviewers at my company, and we ask a lot of details about C and C++ coding (yes, separately). I don't recall anyone asking about vtables in the interviews. Inheritance and polymorphism concepts, yes, but not vtables as such.
If you can properly and concisely explain what the keyword
I'm not sure where you're interviewing, but there are good jobs and workplaces out there that don't ask about vtables.
Knowing about the vtable internals, you know how C++ differs from C. And other stuff such as overriding, inheritance etc.
+1 for being in the same boat. I was recently asked how virtual functions are implemented. I said that it is done usng V-Tables but didnt know the actual mechanism. The interviewer was pretty displeased and this was one of the questions that got me rejected.
I dont see how knowing V-Tables is a must have for a C++ programmer. Can I manipulate the VTable? No? Can I manually create one? No? Does knowing it help me tweak its performance? No? Can I atleast see it? No? So what benefit does it provide to know it? For instance , does knowing how the English language evolved make me a better speaker? No. Does knowing how the human brain makes sence of speech help me improve my language skills. No! I would rather spend my time knowing the things I can use.
But apparently this is lost on the "superstar" interiviewers who seem to have more time to learn how it done rather than to do it! It is just so fashionable to ask the VTable thinng that you wounldnt want to be caught dead not wearing it.
If you know what a vtable is, there's a good chance that you have a pretty good knowledge of C++ and can muck around with lower level programming if need be.
I'd have no qualms with a company considering hiring someone based on the fact that they know how vtables work. That said, I'd have a huge problem with a company that refuses to hire someone because they don't know how vtables work -- even for a C++ job.

In Wikipedia's article on Kan extensions 1, in the view of Kan extensions as colimits, I am confused about the notation: $(Lan_F X)(b) = \varinjlim_{f:Fa \to b} X(a)$.
Wikipedia says that the colimit is over the category $F \downarrow b$, but the functor $X$ is from $\mathbf{A}$ to $\mathbf{C}$. I am a bit confused about this, I understand that the functor "inside" the colimit notation should be defined over the category where we are taking it. Is there any place where I can read about this limit/colimit notation?

I have heard that people with black skin had been denied certain things in the Mormon Church until the past 30 years or so and that this has something to do with the Curse of Cain. What has been the historical teaching of the LDS Church regarding the Curse of Cain and dark-skinned people? What are the references in the Book of Mormon and other Mormon Scriptures that address this issue?

Here is more context for some verses from the Book of Mormon, the first quote shows the curse, and the effect of it, so they became dark-skinned and lazy. The problem is that this can then be extended to shape prejudices against anyone because of their skin color, but, the last two quotes shows that discrimination based on color is wrong, and all from the Book of Mormon.
When you come back to God and do what is expected then this curse is lifted:
Another section showing that others may get the curse due to their wickedness:
When you try to be consistent with the BoM then cherry-picking to justify prejudices is going to happen, as God isn't going to discriminate based on skin color for example.
And here the believers are commanded not to hold these against others since the believers should reflect on the filthiness of their own souls. This is similar to "Him who has no sin cast the first stone", IMO.
So, it is easy to see how people could pick some verses and make some decisions that enforce their own biases, but that is due to ignoring other verses, so the blame is not on the BoM but on those that did the cherry-picking.

In AES we use some padded bytes at end of message to fit 128/256 byte blocks. But as RSA is not a block cipher why is padding used?
Can the message size be any byte length (is the encrypting agent free to choose) or must it be a certain byte length to use RSA encryption?
RSA without padding is also called Textbook RSA. The question why RSA without padding is insecure has already been answered in this question.
We can fix a few issues by introducing padding.
Edit: To answer the second question, RSA plain text are (unlike AES plain texts) limited by an upper bound. Messages must not be longer than the $N$ of the public key. It is also noteworthy, that common cipher schemes don't handle or pad blocks of RSA ciphertexts at all. Usually, the message is encrypted using a symmetric cipher (like AES) and only the key to this seperate cipher text is encrypted using an asymmetric cipher (like RSA). This is also called hybrid encryption.
1. Why do we use padding?
Both block ciphers and RSA are permutations on a block(RSA's block isn't an integral number of bytes), so it's clear that both of them need some kind of padding if the data size doesn't correspond to the block size.
With block ciphers the padding doesn't do much: It fills up the remainder of the block, and tells you how much padding there was.
With RSA the padding is essential for its core function. RSA has a lot of mathematical structure, which leads to weaknesses. Using correct padding prevents those weaknesses.
For example RSA Encryption padding is randomized, ensuring that encryption the same message encrypted multiple times looks different each time. It also avoids other weaknesses, such as encrypting the same message using different RSA keys leaking the message, or an attacker creating messages derived from some other ciphertexts.
RSA padding should always be used, and it has a minimum size of dozens of bytes, as opposed to a single byte with most block cipher paddings.
2. Can the message size be any byte length or must it be a certain byte length to use RSA encryption?
Using a single RSA operation you can only encrypt a small constant amount of bytes (100 or so).
In principle one could chain multiple RSA operations similar to how we chain block ciphers. In practice (almost) nobody does that. RSA is slow, decrypting perhaps 100kB/s instead of >100MB/s with AES. The padding also bloats the ciphertext unnecessarily.
What we actually do is generating a random symmetric key, and encrypting the message with that key and AES. And then we encrypt the key with RSA. This is efficient, and at least as secure as encrypting the message with RSA.
According to Wikipedia the purpose of adding random padding to the clear text before encrypting it is to prevent a successful chosen plaintext attack, from Wikipedia:
See Attacks against plain RSA and Padding schemes for more detail.
We use padding because RSA is not secure without padding. See the following research paper:
See also:
There are no particular requirements on the length of the message, except that it can't be too long. Usually, we generate a random symmetric key (e.g., an AES key), encrypt the AES key with RSA, and then encrypt the real message using AES. This way, we get past the length limits.

Your tax-deductible gift to the Naval Institute Press underwrites worthy books that might not otherwise be published.
Rough Rider is a snapshot study of the significant career of President Theodore Roosevelt. Partly biographical sketch and partly analysis, the book provides an overview of his actions, ideals, and written works, highlighting important events from Roosevelt's early public life, his presidency, and later career. David Key sees Roosevel as a statesman who well understood how to create his own popular image, but equally important was Roosevelt's place as one of the foremost historians of his time, a man who understood the traditional criteria for greatness and did not hesitate to shape his own legacy. Written especially for college students, Rough Rider examines pertinent primary sources and critical analyses of other historians to aid in understanding the legacy of Theodore Roosevelt.
M. David Key is a native Floridian and a graduate of the University of New Mexico, where he earned a PhD. He taught at the University of New Mexico and the University of Tennessee-Knoxville and now teaches at Tusculum College. He currently resides in Greeneville, TN.

The Medicus OverSpin CB2 Cast Blade Putter features a cut-face design to help produce immediate overspin, or topspin, at the moment of impact on the ball. This early implementation of overspin on the ball eliminates skidding and hopping, and reduces the influence of shaggy greens, fringe and break produced by grain. In addition, the OverSpin's soft feel and superior balance result in consistent accuracy and distance control. The special face design is the secret to the OverSpin's amazing true roll performance but the benefits do not stop there. The special "Cut Angle" face also allows the OverSpin to be used on the first cut of green while delivering unmatched accuracy and excellent "cut through" performance, eliminating the need for specialty clubs around the green such as separate approach putters or putting wedges.

I have a tendency to act out wierdly and angrily, (usually throwing stuff here and there) when I suddenly remember something stupid that I had done in past, and then bang my head over how stupid I was for some time.
This behavior has caused me to act out randomly, sometimes in public, and even caused me to break a very expensive electronics product by smashing it on the ground.
Only if I could solve this problem of worrying about the past, I'll be able to get more time for other important things in life - like the future.
Any help will be much appriciated

Let's say that $f(x)=f^{1}(x)$ and that $f(f(x))=f^{2}(x)$. Moreover, $f^{n}(x)$ is the n-th iterate of $f(x)$, for $n \in \mathbb{N}$. I'm curious about extending iteration to larger number sets. For $n \in \mathbb{R}$, there's the concept flow (I think?). I don't understand the Wikipedia-article on this subject very well, though. I was hoping for some nice, concrete examples of iterated functions extended to the real or even complex numbers with which I might understand things better. If we take $f(x) = x^2 +3$, for example, what would $f^{\sqrt(2)}(x)$ be? Or, even more ambitiously, say that $g(x)=e^x$ How do we find $g^{\pi^2 + 3i}(x)$?

What did Newton himself do, so that the "Newton polygon" method is named after him?
The Newton polygon and Newton's method are closely related. The following theorem was first proven by Puiseux:
However according to Wikipedia
A place where this is illustrated in more detail is "A history of algorithms: from the pebble to the microchip" By Jean-Luc Chabert, Évelyne Barbin, page 191. I will quote the first paragraph
Then it explains Newton's approach in detail. You can follow the references given there. And then we know the story that this nice tool is now used for the understanding of polynomials over local fields even tough originally the local field was the field of formal Laurent series.
here are some references:
is an article from The College Mathematics Journal about the Newton polygon as developed by Newton.
I especially recommend the first reference because it has a wealth of pictures.
If memory serves correct the history of Newton's polygon and Puiseaux series has some subtleties, so be a bit wary of secondary historical sources. Histories of mathematics are bursting at the seams with romanticized legends, so it is always best to consult primary sources if you wish to know the real history. The following note from Chrystal's Algebra may serve as a helpful entry into the primary literature.
This was intended to be a comment on Bill Dubuque's answer, but I apparently don't yet have enough reputation points to comment, and in any event this is probably too long to appear as a comment.
Given Chrystal's intended audience, I'm surprised that he didn't mention Talbot's 1860 English translation and extensive commentary of Newton's Enumeration Linearum Tertii Ordinis. In Talbot's work, which is freely available on the internet, see the sections On the Analytical Parallelogram (pp. 88-104) and Examples (pp. 104-112). By the way, whoever scanned the book for google wasn't paying attention when the lengthy list of figures at the end of the book were being scanned, so I'm also giving the University of Michigan Historical Math Collection version, which has those figures correctly scanned.
Sir Isaac Newton's Enumeration of Lines of the Third Order, Generation of Curves by Shadows, Organic Description of Curves, and Construction of Equations by Curves, Translated from the Latin, with notes and examples, by C.R.M. Talbot, 1860.

How To Get Your Car In Car CraftWritten by David Freiburger on December 1, 1998 Contributors: Car Craft Readers
"How do I get my car in the magazine?" It's the question most often heard by anyone even remotely associated with Car Craft. So much so that we'd be smart to reprint this article and carry it with us always.
We'd look like jerks if we answered the question by handing over a piece of paper and walking away, but we're pretty used to feeling like jerks when we're forced to tell some reader all the reasons his ride isn't exactly cover material. You might be able to avoid that disappointing conversation-or the bummer of sending stuff to Car Craft that never gets used-if you read this story. Learn it. And live it.
How To Get Into Readers' Pages
The easiest way to get into Car Craft is to have your car or letter in Readers' Pages. The single biggest reason people get their cars bounced out of contention for publishing is because their photos look like a bad acid trip. The "Photo Pointers" sidebar should give you a few clues. Beyond that, we're really not that picky. In fact, the lower-buck, the more average, the younger the builder, the better. Readers' Pages is for typical dudes and dudettes, not for stuffed-wallet, build-it-for-me slackers. However, we still keep the peeps open for the same clues in the "Top 10 Things We're Looking For" sidebar. We'd also dig it if readers got more creative with the photos-try action shots, get cruise-night photos, let's see some wheels-up homebuilt beaters. Got a wagon? Then stuff everyone you know in it and snap a shot. Send us outtakes from your wildest road trip. Upside-down, on fire-whatever. We just want a break from boredom. If you hadn't noticed that cars are for fun, you're holding the wrong magazine.
We'll never use your photos if you don't send 'em to us. We can use color or black-and-white prints or slides. Don't get fancy and send anything on disc. We can't use Polaroids, either. We're also too lame to accept photos over e-mail, so you're gonna have to whip out those dusty old postage stamps. Tell Uncle Sam to send it to:

Photo Pointers
Big Glory: A Full Feature In Car Craft
Many readers aspire to have a full-blown photo spread on their car in Car Craft. How do you get it done? It's mostly a matter of luck and timing. Since we never have the budget to travel to your hometown to shoot the car, you'll have to come to us. That means attending an NMCA race (call 800/213-4883 for a '99 schedule) or one of Car Craft's own events (one in Panama City, Florida, in April '99 and another in St. Paul, Minnesota, in July '99-call 800/732-4227 to sign up). We also hit many independent shows throughout the country.
If we do cross paths at an event, we'll hunt you down and let you know if we want to shoot your car. We'll need about an hour of your time as we take you off-site to a photo location and shoot several rolls of film: We'll snap a few overall angles, plus the engine, interior, and other details. The less time you have to work with us while photographing your car, the less likely it is that it will appear in a future issue. Once the photo shoot is done, you get to keep the exclusive Car Craft license plate. You'll also need to fill out our lengthy tech sheet to tell us all about your ride. If you don't complete it thoroughly or don't get it back to us, you won't be in the magazine.
If it all comes together, you'll be a hero in the pages of CC. When? Good question. Some features are run soon after they're shot, others sit around for as long as a year before we use them. We never throw features away. You won't know until you see yourself in print.
Top 10 Things We're Looking For
1. Appallingly fast or killer-looking cars built for cheap.
2. Body styles and brands that aren't mainstream but that aren't too weird.
3. Wheelstands into the next zip code.
4. Super smooth bodywork with bright (not gaudy) colors, and no nekkid lady murals.
5. Stuff built by young people-not paid for by their dads.
6. The vintage look done right.
7. The latest trends done right.
8. Regular ol' street machines done right.
9. Violent stuff that really annoys people who don't like cars.
10. Daily drivers that have no right being daily drivers.
How To Never Be In Car Craft
• "My graphics have 20 colors, and I saw you shoot that car with stock paint." Craft your car any way you want to, but far-out cosmetics or dated mods are risky. The most common violations: stink-bug stance, tires hanging out too far, tasteless graphics, gold plating, gauges all over the cowl, and the wrong wheels.
• "I owe it to my sponsors." But we don't. Use our name in vain when scoring graft (as many do) and you virtually guarantee your exclusion from our pages.
• "You need to expand your boundaries" This usually means you want us to put your front-wheel-drive car in the magazine. Forget it. We don't do imports or street rods, either.
• "You have to put me on the cover." No, we don't.
• "The car is dedicated to the memory of my (fill in the blank)." Many readers try to pity us into a photo shoot with tales of ill or deceased relatives that the car was built for. We feel awful about it, but personal tragedy doesn't guarantee you a spot in Car Craft.
• "But I spent $250,000 on the restoration!" That's good enough reason for us not to shoot it.
• "My car is much better than that piece of dog doo you showed last month." Arrogant criticism rarely induces favorable response from CC staffers.
• "I drove three days to get here expecting a photo shoot, so you better do it." Don't threaten us or you'll have a disappointing three-day drive home.
• "I have to trailer it to the photo shoot." If you can't or won't even drive the car, no thanks.
• Shoot with any camera except digital or Polaroid. Even throw-away cameras will usually work fine.
• Clueless as to what film to use? You can't go wrong with ASA 200 or 400 for color prints.
• Take photos of your car with the sun to your back so the car is fully lit, but don't get your own shadow in the photo.
• Cars usually look best shot from low angles, so kneel down.
• Avoid ugly junk in the background, like other cars, trees, and phone polls.
• Make sure the entire car is in the photo, but don't stand so far away that it looks like a speck in the distance.
• We really don't need to see your girlfriend in a bikini-or your boyfriend (not that we have any phobias or anything).
• We're not too interested in seeing family pets with sunglasses, stuffed animals, "crybabies," placards, or lots of trophies in the photos.
• Shoot the engine and a few other details while you're there-Car Craft is the only mag we know of that will use them. Engines are best photographed in open shade (no harsh sun or shadows) with a bit of flash.
• We don't usually use shots of more than one car.
• Turn off the camera's date-imprint thingy.
• Shoot the car with the doors and hood closed.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
This is a bit better, but the car is too far away, we aren't too excited about the garbage can and the tree, and the shed and the clothesline in the background are distracting.e throw away the truly heinous photos, but here are a couple that pretty much suck. You can't see the whole car in either one, and the shot of the passenger side is in dark shade.

More Than Words Can Say (Paperback)
From the author of If Wishes Were Horses comes a novel of long-buried secrets and self-discovery, showing us that sometimes what goes unsaid is more powerful than words. . . .
Chelsea Enright never expected to inherit her grandmother's lakeside cottage deep in the Adirondacks—a serene getaway that had been mysteriously closed up decades ago. This is no simple bequest, however, because when Chelsea finds her grandmother's WWII diaries, she's stunned to discover that they hold secrets she never suspected . . . and they have the power to turn her own life upside down.
Even more surprising is the compelling presence of local doctor Brandon "Yale, and Chelsea soon finds her "short stay" has stretched into the entire summer. She cannot put this cottage and her family's past behind her easily—and the more she learns about the woman her grandmother truly was, the more Chelsea's own life begins to change . . . and nothing will ever be the same again.
About the Author
After graduating from Colgate University with a B.A. in economics and a minor in art history, Robert Barclay enjoyed a successful career in business, also serving as chairman of his industry-related consulting group. After selling his business, he devoted his time to writing. His previous novels include If Wishes Were Horses and More Than Words Can Say. He lives with his wife in Florida.
Praise For…
[If Wishes Were Horses] will satisfy fans of sweet romances and tender family sagas… Mr. Barclay weaves a quiet tale about people with hearts of gold, each barely coping with inner demons or tragic circumstances, who learn that they need one another in order to find redemption.
-NY Journal of Books
"IF WISHES WERE HORSES is chock full of wonderful characters. The novel is a moving one, at turns poignant, sad, dramatic, amusing, and hopeful."
-Romance Reviews Today
"If you like novelists like Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook, A Walk to Remember) or Nicholas Evans (The Horse Whisperer, The Storm Jumper) , Robert Barclay will be right up your alley"
-Boulder Examiner
"MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY crosses genres and combines romance with mystery while managing to avoid becoming sappy or overly sentimental. The way Robert Barclay toggles between a summer at the beginning of the Second World War and a summer in the present is done masterfully."
-Book Reporter

Since the beginning of StackOverflow Jeff has been saying that the team have been paid slave wages, with the success of StackOverflow, ServerFault, SuperUser et al has this changed?
Has the team moved up to serf or possibly even pauper wages?
Note: I posted this question not to be nosy, though it obviously could be construed that way, but out of interest in that I love these sites and wanted to know if all the hard work is paying some dividends for the team.
I have been working my way through all the StackOverflow podcasts, starting with episode one as I came late to the party, and kept hearing Jeff talk about how the team has been doing it for the love of it on slave wages. I have now got to episode 23 and whilst the sites appear to be very popular and successful (still going) I was hoping that things are working out well for the team hence my question.

Credit unions are financial cooperatives owned by the people who use them to do their banking. When you join a credit union, you become a member of the credit union.
But credit unions offer much more than financial services to their members.

Being high on ecstasy. Everything feels so good that you want to roll your face on everything such as couches, dogs, etc.
Jimmy went to the party just so he could Roll Face.
