Heart and Circulation Problems in Pregnancy
In This Article:
Nosebleeds, gum problems, and varicose veins
Nosebleeds occur frequently in pregnancy, and although they are a nuisance they are rarely a serious problem.
As with all other blood vessels in the body, those in the nose are softened and expanded during pregnancy. In addition, your body has an increased blood volume in pregnancy, which puts pressure on these delicate structures. You are more likely to have a nosebleed if you have a cold or sinus infection or if your nasal membrane is dry, which can happen in cold weather or air conditioned rooms.
What to do
To manage a nosebleed, sit down, keep your head in a normal position, and apply pressure to the bottom of the nose with your thumb and forefinger. You will need to maintain this pressure constantly for about 10 minutes before checking to see if the bleeding has stopped. Do not be tempted to tip your head back or lie down, since this will cause you to swallow the blood, leading to nausea and possible vomiting. Ice or a cold compress applied to the nose and facial area in conjunction with the nasal pressure can help constrict the blood flow and halt the bleeding. Seek medical advice if the nosebleed results from a head injury or if heavy bleeding continues for more than 20 minutes. Mention frequent small nosebleeds at your prenatal appointment to enable the elimination of more serious conditions.
Bleeding, tender gums
Bleeding from the gums and gum tenderness are both common complaints during pregnancy.
These problems occur as a result of increased blood volume coupled with the softening effect of pregnancy hormones on blood vessels. Allowing plaque to accumulate may exacerbate these symptoms and also makes the start of gum disease more likely.
What to do
Good dental hygiene is vital; don't be tempted to avoid brushing your teeth if they feel tender, but switch to a softer brush. Brushing your teeth and gums and flossing regularly are particularly important during pregnancy. Also, visit your dentist regularly during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
Varicose veins and vulval varicosities
Varicose veins are enlarged, distorted veins that may develop in the legs or around the vulval area. Varicose veins in or around the anus are known as hemorrhoids. Varicose veins may become troublesome during the later stages of pregnancy, causing discomfort and sometimes itching; they may also be unsightly. Varicosities in the vagina or vulva areas do not inhibit a normal birth and are not at risk of rupture during the birth.
The increased blood flow and softened vessels mean that many women experience varicose veins and vulva varicosities during pregnancy. The growing uterus puts pressure on veins in the pelvis which, in turn, leads to increased pressure in the legs and vulva area.
What to do
Support hose designed for pregnancy can be helpful, Avoid tight clothes that constrict the waist, groin, or legs As with all conditions, varicose veins should be reported to your doctor for assessment and advice. Varicose veins usually improve within three months after the birth of the baby.

MINGO JUNCTION - Village Council on Tuesday approved by a 4-1 vote to apply in court for permission to transfer $250,000 out of the community complex fund to help ease a budget shortfall.
The community complex fund has received money from the village's income tax over the years.
Councilmen James Morrocco, John Fabian, Michael Herrick and Chuck Dickey voted in favor of asking the state auditor's office and Jefferson County Common Pleas Court for permission to transfer the money. Councilman John Brettell voted against it.
Morrocco said he was concerned about putting the lump sum in the budget and it not being wisely spent.
Herrick said he wants a close watch on how the money is spent, and, if not all used, it can be returned to the community complex fund.
Village Clerk John Angelica said the village won't receive as much revenue this year as anticipated because of the closing of the RG Steel plant. He said the $250,000 will be used to cover the loss in revenue and for the first several months of next year. Only general fund line items will be funded with the money, he said.
"We won't make the revenue we expected to bring in, and that money will be a backup to plug in," he said.
Angelica said he wants council to start in early November working on the budget for next year.
Morrocco noted council has to make decisions fixing the budget so it meets revenue.
"I don't want to continue tapping and tapping (money in the complex fund) and put a Band-Aid on a serious situation," Morrocco said.
There will still be approximately $125,000 remaining in the community complex fund if the $250,000 is transferred.
"It will be our responsibility when we plan the budget on how to watch how we spend it," Fabian said.
Mayor Ron DiCarlo said with the new village administrator, Charley Bowman, the village will be more accountable on how money is spent.
Village Solicitor Ernest Wilson said council has to appropriate and approve how the money is spent by departments in the general fund.
Brettell said he is concerned what is going to happen when the $250,000 is gone.
"Then what do we do?" Brettell asked.
He noted he voted against the measure because the money was intended to be used for a community complex and not for "bailing us out at the end of the year."
Once the state auditor gives its OK to transfer the money, a hearing will be scheduled in common pleas court for a judge's approval.
Council also unanimously approved the hiring of Bowman as village administrator. Bowman will be paid $30,000 a year.
Council also approved an ordinance to apply to the Ohio Water Development Authority to extend the term of the bond for the construction of the water plant.
The village financed $7.69 million, and has made 33 semi-annual payments of $294,310. The bond for the water plant was for 25 years.
OWDA has agreed to extend the life of the bond to 30 years. The semi-annual payment will now be $271,117.
Bowman said the recalculation resulted in a credit for almost three payments. The village will be able to skip the two payments in 2013 and make a $47,984 payment in January 2014. The regular $271,117 payment will begin in July 2014, he said.
The steel plant in the village was once the largest purchaser of water. The village received about $1,5 million in water sales in 2008. But the plant was shut down and sold by RG Steel and the village isn't collecting any water revenue from the facility.
Village officials were concerned the village wouldn't collect enough in water usage fees from residents to make the upcoming water plant bond payment.
In a related matter, Bowman announced representatives of the Rural Community Assistance Partnership will be on hand at 6 p.m. on Nov. 27 will meet with council for a workshop on water and sewer department operations.
Also, James Huggins Jr. of AEP clarified a statement made at the previous council meeting about turning off streetlights.
The village is paying about $50,000 a year for 579 streetlights. Council wants to cut that amount in half.
AEP will put a cap over the sensor on the lights that council will determine to be shut off. The village will then be billed a portion of the cost for the streetlights turned off for six months. AEP then will physically remove the lights from the pole.
Huggins said residents can immediately contact AEP after council's decision to turn off streetlights to have a light installed on the pole were the streetlight was turned off. He said the new light will spread light out and not be as directional as a typical streetlight.
Residents will pay about $11 a month for the new light, Huggins said. He said residents can have the light angled in any direction.
Herrick said council has the goals of cutting in half the amount spent on streetlights and still providing residents with the safety aspect of the lights.
Bowman also said he is working on updating job descriptions for village employees. He also said he will assist the fire department in enforcing the property maintenance laws in the village
Bowman said a workshop session also will be scheduled for 6 p.m. on Nov. 13 to discuss ways to get a communitywide electric rate program. Such a measure will require a vote by residents.
Ohio law allows for municipalities to form buying groups for the power generated section of a city customer's electric bill. By voting for electric aggregation, voters are allowing village officials to purchase electric power at more competitive rates, Toronto residents approved such a program in November.
Fire Chief John Wright said the village is considering billing insurance companies for fire calls. Council will have to approve the rates.
DiCarlo announced U.S. Rep. Bill Johnson, R-Marietta, will be at the Municipal Building at about 1 p.m. on Friday to hold a community forum.

The lamps that some environmental design students are creating this semester aren't just pretty.
They represent the students' abilities to design, digitally render and use high-tech equipment to produce attractive, functional and marketable pieces -- requirements in today's architecture field.
The students are in Marcel de Lange's Digital Design and Fabrication course.
"Throughout the modern era, the role of architect has devolved from 'master builder' -- an expert in material craft and construction techniques -- to one of 'master coordinator' at the mercy of clients, engineers and contractors," said de Lange. "This course addresses some of those disconnects and gives students the hands-on experience to become modern master builders."
Expertise in computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing -- the largest modern advancements in the field -- could help architects regain control over the design and fabrication processes, said de Lange.
The students are using the latest software and machinery to craft intricate prototypes. Their tools include a laser cutter, a computerized router and a 3-D printer.
Alexandra Stonely, a CU-Boulder senior in environmental design, likes large-scale work and aspires to design huge buildings, but understands the value of creating small component parts that could go into large spaces.
"Looking at small things makes you think about the details within architecture," said Stoneley. "My lamp would look nice over a dining table, which makes me think about what that table might look like and what the dining room might look like.
"The CU-Boulder environmental design program is really good at relating things together. Students go through architecture, landscape architecture and city planning. Plus there are these really cool special topics classes where you can focus on product development and little tiny things."
For the course final, students in the Digital Design and Fabrication course will scale up a bit and make furniture such as tables, desks or credenzas.

New York
David Mamet has two shows running on Broadway this week. One of them, "The Anarchist," is a freshly minted flop that will close on Sunday. The other, "Glengarry Glen Ross," is a hugely successful revival of one of Mr. Mamet's most popular plays. The situation recalls his own zero-sum philosophy: "Economic life in America is a lottery. Everyone's got an equal chance, but only one guy is going to get to the top. . . . So one can only succeed at the cost of the failure of another." The catch is that Mr. Mamet is now playing the parts of both guys. And unlike "The Anarchist," a wan, stillborn debate about terrorism that stubbornly insists on its meaning in every line, "Glengarry Glen Ross" is one of the finest American plays of the 20th century, a modern classic that—like all the best art—makes its points without seeming to make them.
Glengarry Glen Ross
Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre
236 W. 45th St.
Through Jan. 20
You might well wonder whether a play that's already been mounted twice on Broadway, in 1984 and 2005, is due for another revival. But once you've seen this version, performed with stupendous dynamism by a cast led by Al Pacino and Bobby Cannavale, you'll wonder why you wondered. No doubt there are other, equally valid ways to do "Glengarry Glen Ross," but director Daniel Sullivan has struck an ideal balance between forcefulness and finesse: "Glengarry" is a famously loud, comprehensively profane play, but in this production, the quiet moments land as firmly and satisfyingly as the noisy ones.
If you know "Glengarry," you'll most likely have guessed that Messrs. Cannavale and Pacino are playing Ricky Roma and Shelly "The Machine" Levene, a pair of ravenously hungry Chicago real-estate salesmen who are respectively on the way up and the way down. "A man's his job," Ricky assures us with adamantine certainty. In the all-male world of "Glengarry Glen Ross," a man's job is also the taproot of his masculinity, and if he can't close the deal, he's no man at all. Ricky accepts that premise as confidently as he rejects the "middle-class morality" that he dismisses with annihilating contempt: "I do those things which seem correct to me today. . . . Bad people go to hell? I don't think so. If you think that, act that way. A hell exists on earth? Yes. I won't live in it." Except that he does. Adrift on the sea of relativity, Ricky knows only the brutish, friendless existence that has laid waste to Shelly, who has lost the salesman's knack and must now pay the price.
Mr. Pacino, who was cast as Ricky in the 1992 film version of "Glengarry," has switched to Shelly this time around, and that's the key to his performance: He plays Shelly as if he were Ricky gone to seed, pretending to a success that is no longer his. No sooner are his desperate lies brought to light than he dies inside, seeming to shrink by a foot before your horrified eyes. As for Mr. Cannavale, he couldn't be more different from Liev Schreiber, who played Ricky on Broadway in 2005. While Mr. Schreiber was chilly and sleek, Mr. Cannavale brings a hypnotically vulgar charm to the part. Few stage actors are gifted enough to go head to head with Mr. Pacino and remain standing, but Mr. Cannavale has a double dose of what it takes. To see them spitting lines at one another like snakes on a bed of hot coals is the stuff that sold-out houses are made of.
Just as "Glengarry" is anything but a two-man play, so are Mr. Sullivan's five supporting players not merely solid but stunning. Indeed, John C. McGinley is no less charismatic than his better-known colleagues, to the point that he actually manages, believe it or not, to steal the scene in which all three men share the stage. What results is a production that is showy in the best sense of the word, so much so that the audience at Wednesday's preview burst into applause each time one of the characters brought off a particularly fiery speech, in the same way that opera buffs might applaud a high C. I didn't blame them in the slightest—I was doing the same thing.
Much has been made of the fact that the producers of "Glengarry Glen Ross" scheduled an extralong preview period prior to the official press opening, thereby preventing the critics from passing judgment until now. Who cares? If that's what it took to make this blazing revival possible, so be it.

In Marathon, the Fusion Pistol bullet and the projectile that the S'pht shoot seem to be pretty similar. Do they have similar damage amounts too? They both seem to be electricity weapons
This is kind of hard to answer, since the Fusion pistol's secondary fire is chargeable, so it does varying levels of damage. Plus, you can't fire the s'pht weapon yourself, seeing as it's kind of a part of their body. If you wanted to compare the damage, you'd have to figure out how much damage they do in single player, and then go into multi-player and shoot another player with a fusion pistol and see how the damage compares.
Also, the various difficulty levels in the game change the amount of damage you do and is done to you, so you'd have to test every iteration of the difficulty as well.
Therefore, the answer to the damage question is likely "it depends."
As far as the shots looking similar, Marathon originally came on floppy disks, so there wasn't a heck of a lot of room for game data - it's likely that they use the same model for both things.
Story-wise, the s'pht don't use the same technology precisely, but they are able to duplicate fusion batteries to an extent. Perhaps the technology is similar, but Bungie never expounded on this during the Marathon trilogy as far as I'm aware. The following is an excerpt from the Marathon 2 manual:

Reusing Stores Throughout Application
I have setup value stores in my application and want to use these stores and their contained data in multiple views. Value stores are standardized list of data used in combo boxes or other controls to limit user input to valid values. These only need to be loaded once and I have them loading when the main viewport loads.
As an example, I have two combo boxes using the same store and when I open each combo, a request is sent to the server to retrieve the data. Maybe I don't fully understand all the options of a store, but if I have the store set as a singleton and the data is already loaded, why is it still making the server request the second time? It shouldn't be making subsequent request unless explicitly reloaded.
Any help on what I might be missing is appreciated.

Sounds like you need to change the queryMode from 'remote' to 'local'.
This might not be exactly what you need though. If you re-use that same store across all of the applications comboboxes they will all synchronize. So if you filter it or a user searches, it will change on all comboboxes. Depending on your situation this may (not) be what you want.Aaron Conran
10 Jan 2013 10:18 AM #3
this is what I also need.
I have 2 views one main view port which loads a map from a store. on afterrender event
My code is like this
var geoCoordinates=Ext.create('MyApp.store.coordinateStore',{});geoCordinates.load({ scope: this, callback: function(records, operation, success) {.......}})
I now want to use the same store's record on another window on the same afterrender effect.
I have been struggling on this for couple of days but no solution.
Please help me.
10 Jan 2013 11:40 AM #4
Setting the combobox to queryMode: local did solve the multiple requests to the server. Good to keep in mind about the filtering as I'm sure that would catch you when least expected.

WHEELING - Elm Grove Pharmacy employee Stacee Hess on Monday identified Melody Fisher as the woman who came inside the business in late May just moments before an armed Kevin Walnoha entered the store in an attempt to steal prescription narcotics.
Another employee at the pharmacy shot and killed Walnoha. Fisher has been indicted on charges of felony murder, first-degree robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery.
Ohio County Prosecutor Scott Smith said the felony murder charge would be dropped once his office got written notification that the West Virginia Supreme Court had finalized its recent ruling that a surviving co-conspirator cannot be charged with an accomplice's murder when a crime victim kills in self-defense.
Fisher, 41, of Beech Bottom appeared in court Monday with her attorney, Stephen Herndon, in an attempt to keep Hess' identification out of a potential trial.
Hess, a pharmacy technician who has worked at the store for 12 years, said she was behind the counter logging prescriptions on May 25 when Fisher entered the store. Fisher inquired about a wrist brace before leaving without making a purchase, Hess recalled.
Video surveillance showed Fisher was inside the store for less than two minutes.
The 37-year-old Walnoha walked through the door moments later, pointed a gun at Hess and another female employee and demanded prescription pills. That is when store owner Anthony Martino appeared from another room and shot Walnoha multiple times, killing him inside the building.
Hess recalled speaking with Fisher in the store parking lot minutes after the shooting while waiting for law enforcement to arrive. Fisher told Hess she had just been inside the building and asked if everyone was OK, Hess testified.
A woman matching Fisher's description kept resurfacing in Hess' conversations with West Virginia State Police in the subsequent hours, which Hess said sparked her suspicion.
"I kind of realized we had been set up," she testified Monday, adding that she believed Fisher entered the store to "scope us out."
The day after the crime, State Police Sgt. Mike Hogan presented Hess with photographs of three women - none of which were Fisher - and Hess said she did not recognize any of the subjects. Hogan showed her a single photograph of three women later that day, and Hess identified one of them - later confirmed to be Fisher - as the woman who was inside the pharmacy.
Police obtained the photographs of the women from Walnoha's Facebook page. Hogan said other ways police obtain photos to place into an identification lineup were not feasible because of the Memorial Day weekend, and they acted with urgency because an armed robber may have been at large. The Rite Aid Pharmacy in Warwood had been robbed at gunpoint days prior and police had not apprehended a suspect.
Herndon is also seeking to suppress some of Fisher's statements to law enforcement.
Cpl. James Dean, a 14-year State Police veteran, testified that he fully Mirandized Fisher prior to his 80-minute interview with her outside of her home a little more than 24 hours after the crime. He returned the following day with a warrant for Fisher's arrest, but conducted another 30-minute interview before advising her of the impending arrest.
"Eventually, I was going to place her into custody," Dean testified. "She was going to be leaving with me."
Herndon pointed out that the warrant commanded law enforcement to arrest Fisher forthwith, and that Dean asked her additional questions before the arrest. Dean only served the warrant after Fisher invoked her right to an attorney, Herndon added.
Fisher's trial is scheduled for Jan. 19.

It is now thousands of years since the Churban Bais HaMikdash. Many jews feel very comfortable in their surroundings. What is the best way for a person to visiualize the great loss of the Bais HaMikdash?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

I don't think one can visualize the churban bais hamikdash without a change in life and perspective. However, I did hear of a summer camp, which had the kids build forts and other buildings, and then on Tisha B'av the counselors burned it all down, and deestroyed it. This apparently helped the kids gain an appreciation of the feelings of loss with the temple.
For myself, I have found that I regret the lack of beis hamikdash more than I used to. I can attribute this change in perspective to 4 activities.
I think it helps to study mishnayos or g'mara (Midos, Tamid, Yoma, P'sachim, perhaps others) about the avoda and miracles in the bes hamikdash. (Likewise, the musafos ("yotz'ros" of musaf) of Yom Kipur.) It gives one a feel for what's missing. Reading the ArtScroll kinos helps one focus on the loss and gives an idea of the difference that the churban made and has made. (I happen to have read parts of ArtScroll's kinos, whereas I haven't read other commentaries. Doubtless others are good for this, too.)
I think the one way to truly appreciate what was lost is not to get bogged down in the ritual aspect of the Beis Hamikdash itself. Korbanos are very hard to relate to in a non-agrarian society. Instead I would focus on what the Beis Hamikdash represented, ie a physical manifestation of the presence of God and a place where a person can connect directly to him.
Some people today complain that their davening lacks enthusiasm, or that they just don't know what God wants from them. Imagine being able to go to a place where you could bring God a present and watch as a fiery lion descended from heaven to consume it. What kind of Shmonei Esrei would you have then?
But these are only mental exercises; to visualize them more completely I would suggest augmenting them with tangibles. If you live in Israel that is pretty easy. Otherwise I would suggest finding online materials, maybe imagery from the arch of Titus, or even simply reading aloud some of the ma'amarei chazal (such as the story of the mother and her 7 sons who perished).
I think you will find that when you start with a strong mental and emotional underpinning, the visuals will have a much stronger impact.
Visit. The ruins are still sitting there.

The hottest gents in O.C. strutted down AnQi's catwalk during Bloomingdale's South Coast Plaza and CHOC Glass Slipper Guild's annual Firefighter Fashion Show. Yes, the guys from the Costa Mesa Fire Department traded their gear for suits and ties, and modeled for a well-heeled crowd of 250. Joining them on the runway? Current and former patients at the pediatric hospital, who delighted the audience with their chic children's styles. There were also fashionable bites to savor and drinks to sip before the upscale retailer donated $3,000 to the guild, which is currently raising funds for the post-anesthesia care unit in CHOC Children's new patient-care tower. And that lights up our hearts.

What do you think the new US flag design will look like, once PR brings the states up to 51?
Do you think it'll be a slight shift to the star pattern? A big re-arrangement? Maybe a shift to a less direct representation of each state? Or do you think they'll be stinkers and leave it alone?
9 Answers answer
@90mcg112: That was quick. :)
I'm diggin' this one.
@miquinn: I concur. Is that one really in the running?
@miquinn: I like that one because it reminds me of this. Nixon approves!
@psaux: Probably not, but I really don't know. I bet it will just be as close to 50 as possible. (The first comment)
@miquinn: I like yours better. :)
@jsimsace: it would be pretty sick right?! :D
Won't have to worry about changing the flag.
Once Texas hears they let Puerto Rico in as a state, they will secede spouting something about not wanting to be part of a country that lets part of Mexico become a state.

To some, a video game may seem like an odd school assignment.
But that's not the case for a number of students taking a course at Leavenworth High School. Creating video games is part of their normal class work.
The Game Design and Authoring for the Web course is new to the high school this year. Teacher April Wolters said video game programming presents a lot of career opportunities.
"It's a huge industry," she said.
She said one of the main focuses areas right now is the creation of apps for iPhones and iPads. But the industry also includes things such as programming computer simulations for the military.
Senior Nate McRoy said the textbook used for the class helps provide a basic concept for the games students have been creating. Students then make the games more their own.
Wolters said students so far have made five games from the textbook. The next step will be for them to create their own games.
Right now, students are working with two-dimensional graphics, said senior Mitchell Gardner.
"But next semester, we'll be on 3-D games," he said.
Junior Avery Calhoun enrolled in the year-long class because she loves video games. But she's also interested in graphic design and likes to make intricate characters. She wanted to know how to make these characters interactive.
Wolters said she has students play each other's games. She said students become used to the difficulty levels of their own games, and it's important for them to think about prospective audience.
"They get immune to how hard they make things," she said.

I have an iPod touch. I want to know if there is any way to have my Facebook or Twitter feeds update in the background?
I often grab my iPod from my home (with WiFi) and then go into the train (no WiFi) and want to see what was posted recently or when I was sleeping.
It seems like these apps only do a "fetch" once you start the app up.
Is there any work around for this so it's always updating if i am on a WiFi network?

COLUMBUS - Retail banking customers have rated Huntington Bank the highest in the North Central Region, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2013 U.S. Retail Banking Satisfaction Study.
The findings rank Huntington highest among the largest financial institutions in the region. More than 50,000 customers were surveyed.
Huntington has an overall score of 814 on a 1,000-point scale, up from 790 in 2012. The regional average was 776 and includes 25 banks in the region. The J.D. Power's study indicates that Huntington performs well in the account information, fees and channel activities factors, according to officials. Overall satisfaction among retail customers averaged 763 in 2013, an increase of 10 index points from 2012.
"Huntington is thrilled to have received recognition from such a respected and highly authoritative organization as J.D. Power and Associates," said Mary Navarro, Huntington's retail and business banking director.
"Exceeding customers' expectations by getting to know them and looking out for them is part of our culture, and our colleagues do a great job with this every day. We are very appreciative of our customers and thank them for banking with us," she said.
J.D. Power's ranking comes on the heels of Huntington's recognition last year as "Highest in Customer Satisfaction with Small Business Banking" by J.D. Power and Associates. And recently, Huntington was named the winner of the 2013 TNS Choice Award for Consumer Banking in the Central Region, which includes the 20 states in the center of the United States.
Huntington also recently was recognized for its consistently outstanding consumer customer satisfaction by the MSR Group, which announced that Huntington has received its APECS Customer Advocacy Award for the Midwestern Region for a fourth consecutive year.

Did You Know? Adults and Communities is making it personal
We provide services that help adults in Birmingham to live as independently as they can and to be part of their local community. We support people to live the life they choose.
New CQC Monitoring Standards
The Care Quality Commision (CQC) have stopped conducting annual performance assessments of social care services. Now we have to demonstrate locally to the people of Birmingham how we are improving outcomes for those who require care and support. We will do this by publishing annual local performance accounts.
From 1 April 2011 we assess and report on our performance using the four quality statements (domains) in the new Adult Social Care Outcomes Framework.
The four domains are:
- Enhancing quality of life for people with care and support needs
- Delaying and reducing the need for care and support
- Ensuring that people have a positive experience of care and support
- Safeguarding adults whose circumstances make them vulnerable and protecting them from harm.
CQC will continue to monitor standards of quality and safety in care homes, home care services and the Shared Lives scheme that we provide. It will also carry out adhoc inspections of social care services if concerns are raised about the quality of service provision.
A more personal approach to care
People in Birmingham who use our services are asking for more choice and control over the type of care they get, when they get it, who provides it and how it is managed.
We have been listening to you, and by changing the way we support you to get your care, we are able to give you more independence, choice and control in your life.
This approach to adult social care is called personalisation and is in line with the Government's commitment to transforming adult social care. You can find out more about this in the Department of Health document Putting people first: a shared vision and commitment to the transformation of adult social care. (published 2007) and on the Putting People First website.
Self-directed support is part of personalisation, and is a new way of providing social care which puts you in control.
Self-directed support means you can choose how you want to manage your care services, giving you more control over the social care support you can get. In this way, we are providing a much more personal approach to adult care services.
How do I get help from Adults and Communities?
You may need help in your day-to-day life because you, or someone you care for:
- is vulnerable due to old age
- has a physical disability
- has a learning disability
- has a mental health difficulty
- is affected by HIV
If you have difficulty with living independently, we can support you with:
- advice and information about services available to all adults, such as leisure, transport, health and education
- advice and support to help you live as independently as possible in your own home. We may be able to provide you with equipment to prevent you having a fall and keep you safe
- personal care, for example help to wash, shower, have a bath, dress, use the toilet and eat meals.
To find out if you, or someone you care for, is eligible for our services, we will need to talk to you and assess your social care needs. You can ask us for an assessment by contacting the relevant service on the adult social care services page.

The pilot of an F-15 jet that crashed this week in remote Virginia mountains was killed, military officials said Thursday, bringing to a sad end an exhaustive two-day search involving more than 100 local, state and federal officials as well as volunteers.
Col. James Keefe announced the news at the Massachusetts Air National Guard in Westfield, Mass., home of the 104th Fighter Wing with which the pilot and jet were based.
Keefe said his "thoughts and prayers are with the family" of the pilot, whose identity wasn't disclosed.
The jet crashed in the mountains of western Virginia on Wednesday morning, shaking residents but causing no injuries on the ground.
Authorities said the pilot of the single-seat jet was headed to New Orleans for radar installation as part of routine maintenance and reported an inflight emergency before losing radio contact.
Officials haven't said whether the pilot ejected or what caused the crash, which left a deep crater and a large debris field in a heavily wooded but level area adjacent to a mountain in the George Washington National Forest.
They said an official safety investigation board is being convened and the investigation into the crash was ongoing.
Keefe said there were no munitions onboard the jet at the time of the crash. He said the plane was flying at about 30,000 to 40,000 feet when the pilot reported the emergency.
F-15s are maneuverable tactical fighters that can reach speeds up to 1,875 mph, according to the Air Force website. The F-15C Eagle entered the Air Force inventory in 1979 and costs nearly $30 million, the website says. The Air Force has nearly 250 F-15s.
Several F-15s have crashed over the past few years in various states. In at least one, the pilot ejected safely. Causes included failure of a support structure for the jet and pilot error.
Associated Press writers Michael Felberbaum in Richmond, Brock Vergakis in Norfolk, and Stephen Singer in Westfield, Massachusetts, contributed to this report.

12 Taboo Topics for New Momsby Erin Dower
New motherhood brings a bundle of joy as well as a lot of prying questions, judgmental comments, and unwanted advice about raising a baby. We've compiled some awkward and awful real-life anecdotes from moms. Learn what topics call for caution or complete avoidance. Go ahead and share constructive parenting tips, but tread carefully, moms!

Breastfeeding vs. Bottle-Feeding
This is the "mother" of all sore subjects for new moms. Some mothers breastfeed for years, while others do it for months or weeks, and some don't try nursing at all and that's all okay. Breastfeeding has great health benefits for babies, but pediatricians still say formula-feeding is a fine alternative. If breastfeeding vs. bottle-feeding comes up in conversation, be open to everyone's point of view and personal experience.

If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I don't think its necessarily the advanced features of VIM that make it so powerful. Its the fact that you never have to take your hands off the keyboard to do anything. Finding something in a huge file is as simple as a couple of keystrokes. Opening and closing multiple files in the same window is incredibly fast as well.
While it may not seem intuitive at first, its well worth your time. Even if you don't use it as your standard IDE (I generally use Visual Studio or Eclipse, for example), you'll find your self using VIM to quickly open and edit files because it becomes way faster than waiting for the IDE to load.
Invest the time to learn how to use VIM well and you'll never regret it. I'd say its comparable to learning to touch-type.
For me the
Here are some examples:
The default behaviour is to list out every line that matches, so:
will list every line that contains the text "TODO:"
change 'Mickey' to 'Minnie' on any line that also contains the word 'Mouse'
The commands can have their own range, so this will delete from every line with "TODO:" to the next blank line:
:g/TODO:/ .,/^$/ d
Use :g! to execute on every line that does NOT match the regex, e.g. to replace "emacs" with "vim" except on lines that contain the word "sucks":
I find the ability to delete everything in between a set of paired symbols incredibly useful. For example, quite often, I'll find myself wanting to replace a string in the code. So,
'Insertion mode keyword completion'. Ctrl-P and Ctrl-N in insert mode to search through the text to try and complete whatever variable name you are typing. I've never seen this in any other IDE and I really miss it. Code completion in IDE's just isn't the same.
Another feature I find incredibly useful is the ability to change indentation.
the command dd (delete current line). I use this one so much.
Also, being able to type something like 3dd and delete the next 3 lines is wonderful. I've never seen this in another editor =D
Rapid access to the command-line. CTRL+Z or :wqa will get me a command line in less than 1sec without my hand leaving the keyboard.
That I can use
This is rather hard to answer, due somewhat to the vagueness of the question, and somewhat to the fact that IDE's differ, and many provide features that other don't (and the fact that I've just a few of them).
However, what I believe distincts Vim from other editors (yes, even Emacs, on this one) is that it is really a great editor. I've in the passing of time, used many editors, and can honestly say that very few come with such a complete set of features for manipulating text, like Vim does.
My style of manipulating text for example, includes very often use of (line/selection of several lines) duplication, and moving (line/selection of several lines) up and down, for which I've long ago defined quick shortcuts. I miss those features in most IDE's (although I've heard ReSharper for VS has something similar).
Did you know that there is a vi plugin for eclipse? It costs 15 euro (20ish US$) but it is so worth. No more
Perhaps a bit off topic but I thought it was worth pointing out.
Depending on what you language you are programming, stick with the ide, or get the ide that offers the most refactorings that you can find, get resharper for visual studio if you are doing c#, intellij for java, or visual assist for visual studio, max out the refactorings in eclipse or netbeans.
We should be moving from manipulating text to manipulate code, refactoring tools give you that ability. If vim does give you all the features fine, I for one don't really want to deal with a text editor anymore
Table Column Select
This doesn't seem to be in the popular IDEs, and if it is they keep it well hidden. This is really handy for testing regex against a column in CSV data file.
Most IDEs don't allow you to split the screen. I love that feature in VIM.

Arthritis Health Center
Gout Linked to Low Levels of Lead
Aug. 20, 2012 -- New evidence that links low levels of lead in the blood to an increased risk of gout suggests that currently acceptable levels of lead exposure are too high.
In a study published in Annals of Internal Medicine, researchers report that the risk of gout is apparently elevated even among adults whose blood lead levels are several times less than what the CDC considers acceptable.
"The point here is that there is no such thing as a safe lead level," says researcher Eswar Krishnan, MD, an assistant professor at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Gout is a painful form of arthritis that's often related to a buildup of uric acid in joints, a condition called hyperuricemia. Obesity, diabetes, and hypertension are known risk factors for gout.
But, Krishnan tells WebMD, such risk factors cannot explain every case. So he went looking for others. A review of the medical literature pointed him toward lead.
Krishnan says it's been known for some time that lead in the blood at concentrations greater than 80 micrograms per deciliter (mcg/dL), or eight times the acceptable level, is associated with hyperuricemia and gout. But he says that his own findings concerning much lower levels were unexpected.
"I honestly was expecting a negative result or an unimpressive one," he says. "What we found was very surprising."
Studying the Lead/Gout Link
For the study, Krishnan and his colleagues used data from two recent National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys, which are conducted annually by the CDC. They focused on men and women over the age of 40 who had no kidney disease. In all, they examined the records of more than 6,000 adults from around the United States.
While most adults have blood lead levels below 10 mcg/dL -- the acceptable level supported by the CDC -- the researchers found that people with blood lead levels as low as 1.2 mcg/dL seemed to have an increased risk of gout.
The risk remained after they adjusted the data to account for differences in age, gender, race, diet, and a variety of health measures. In the study, those with the highest level of lead measured about 4 mcg/dL. Their risk appeared to be about three-and-a-half times that of those with the lowest levels of lead in their blood.
The risk of hyperuricemia -- a common forerunner of gout -- also rose significantly.
Although this study could not prove cause and effect, the research methods were able to uncover the strong link between lead and gout.

I am looking for a nice answer to the following question.
Which immersed plane curves bound an immerced disc?
I am not sure what is a nice answer, but for sure I could make an stupid algorithm.
I am aware that there are plane curves which bound few "different" immersed discs. For example this Bennequin's curve is bounding five different immersed disks. It suggests that there is no "nice" answer to the question.

I have a Price-Pfister 533 Genesis single handled kitchen faucet that turns itself off. It is impossible to run water at a low volume because the moment your hand is off the handle it shuts off.
How can I fix this?
Pfister is so aware of this problem they have a video on the problem http://www.pfisterfaucets.com/about/falling_handle.aspx
Turns out they made a faucets with heavy metal handles but cheap plastic internal parts... after a few years they fail. I called up customer service, identified myself as an original owner, gave an approximate date of purchase, and was sent new parts.
They sent me a new metal nut, Pfister part 941-7110 . Then, they sent a new chromed plastic handle that has less mass.

The documentation for Simplify[expr] says that it performs a sequence of algebraic and other transformations on expr, and returns the simplest form it finds. How can I see which transformations it applies?
I thought of this question while on the train but the solution appeared in my brain as soon as I got into work. All you need to do is create a ComplexityFunction that includes a side effect
This gives the following output
Note that this shows every expression that the ComplexityFunction is applied to. Clearly
It is interesting to also apply this to FullSimplify to see all of the extra transformations that get applied

How to know which accordion panel is activated
I have a panel with a leftpanel and a right panel and a toolbar on top, the leftpanel has two accordion (acc1,acc2), I have a botton on the top toolbar which needs to know which one is active, how do I achieve this ?
22 Aug 2013 3:27 AM #2
22 Aug 2013 4:11 AM #3
Have you tried debugging when switching between the accordion panels to see what properties change which you could then interrogate?
22 Aug 2013 4:34 AM #4
23 Aug 2013 8:35 AM #5
The parent panel with the accordion layout will have an items property which is a MixedCollection. That mixed collection has an each method which will iterate over the items so you can check properties on them. Each panel will have a collapsed property you can check for.

Any plans to add the latest GXT versions to Maven?
Currently the latest available version is 2.2.0 and it's not working with GWT 2.2 due to the class change error:
java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: Found interface com.google.gwt.core.ext.typeinfo.JClassType, but class was expected
1 Jul 2012 7:58 PM #2
I also need gxt 2.2.4
I have a large scale production app that we are trying to convert to maven. Being that I'm the only team member skilled with maven, I would like to reduce the rest of the team's burden by being able to mavenize all dependencies without the need to locally install jars.
Please, please, please install gxt 2.2.4 for use with gwt 2.4 into maven central!!
8 Aug 2012 8:50 AM #3
I face the same problem too. It is unfortunate there are some jar providers who would not let their jars accessible thro maven central. Oracle ojdbc5 and ojdbc6, for examples. Add gxt 2.x to the list.
However, we could create a maven repo using maven install either
1. under the user's home directory, in the .m2 directory
2. at a shared file server
3. at the eclipse projects directory.
I don't need/like to option 1 - because it is not visible to me. .m2 is deliberately made a hidden file. Team members cannot share that directory.
Option 2 is used to share the maven repo across the whole org.
I like option 3 because my eclipse project is replicated/sync'd using mercurial. I place the maven repo as a sub-directory ({project}/project-repo, for example) in my maven/eclipse project. Therefore, the project is bundled and distributed with the maven repo.

Graduate School - Financial Assistance, Graduate Assistantships
ACU participates in the following grant programs for graduate students:
• TEG – Tuition Equalization Grant (for Texas residents only as available)
Departmental scholarships are offered through the various departments. For more information regarding these scholarships, contact the department of interest.
Graduate Assistants (GA's) at Abilene Christian University fall into three categories according to major responsibilities:
1. Academic support, including clerical work;
2. Research; and
3. Teaching.
Upon employment, GA's are given a letter clearly stating responsibilities, remuneration, and the expectations of the department and of the professor to whom they are assigned. Remuneration includes a stipend and tuition reduction. Both full- and part-time assistantships are available.
Graduate assistants are chosen on a competitive basis. Students apply through the Graduate School and are approved by the dean upon recommendation by the head of the department for which they wish to work (and upon the recommendation of their graduate program if it is different from the department in which they work). In order to receive an assistantship, a student must be admitted unconditionally into a graduate program and must be enrolled for graduate course work that semester. For a full assistantship, a student must be enrolled in at least 9 hours. For a half assistantship, a student must be enrolled in at least 6 hours. A student may be considered a full-time student in his or her final semester with fewer hours if he or she is completing final requirements for the degree. Students should direct inquiries about graduate assistantships to the Graduate School.
Qualifications and Work
All graduate assistants are expected to be responsible and successful students who can make a positive contribution to their departments and to the campus community. They each must have completed a baccalaureate degree before beginning their work as graduate assistants. Those who teach or have other job-related contact with undergraduates should be good role models in scholarship, integrity, helpfulness and commitment to Christian values. Those who teach must have at least 18 graduate hours in the discipline taught and must be proficient in the use of English.
Each graduate assistant is assigned to an instructor, who is responsible for training, supervising and evaluating the assistant in his or her work. Teaching assistants also receive regular in-service training and are evaluated by their students each semester. All graduate teaching assistants are also under the oversight of the Graduate School.
Graduate assistants are assigned work space or offices, telephones and mailboxes, as available, usually on a shared basis. Teaching assistants are expected to attend departmental faculty meetings and to keep regular office hours.
Compensation and Reappointment
Pay for graduate assistants varies by department and assignment.
Reappointment of graduate assistants depends upon (1) departmental needs, (2) the graduate assistant's satisfactory academic progress toward a graduate degree and (3) evaluations from mentors and, in the case of teaching assistants, from students.
All graduate assistants must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average to retain their assistantships.
About This Catalog
The information provided in this catalog is current as of April 2010. It is, however, subject to change without notice and does not constitute a contract between Abilene Christian University and a student or an applicant for admission. The catalog is designed to make planning and scheduling a degree program as simple as possible. Additional help is available from several sources, such as the offices of the graduate dean, the college deans, department chairs and faculty advisors. Each student at Abilene Christian University, however, is ultimately responsible for understanding and fulfilling all degree requirements.

TeX and LaTeX are widely used in Computer Science. What other academic disciplines or professionals use it?
It seems to be used fairly close to universally within physics and math.
I'm a minister of religion and I use LaTeX for both sermons and theological papers. I keep all my work in version control and the plain text format just makes so much more sense than a word processor.
I'd love an excuse to put some mathematical notation into a sermon one day, but I'm yet to find one.
Quite a lot of linguists seem to use LaTeX, at least in the UK.
Nobody mentioned engineers --- everybody from my research group (optimization-driven design) is using LaTeX for all our publications, reports, compendiums, lab assignments, etc., despite the fact we're pretty much a Microsoft shop up here.
Some journals in the field, however, started accepting .doc or .odf files as well, much to my frustration. But as long as LaTeX is an option, no way we're switching to something else.
Background: At this point essentially all math papers are written in TeX/LaTeX. Almost all journals will want you, once your paper is accepted, to send them the .tex source (possibly after making sure it works with their in-house .cls file). I don't think I've ever seen a math paper on the arXiv in anything other than TeX and its variants. I only know of three mathematicians who don't know how to use TeX, and hundreds who do.
(I know this was mentioned in the post by Michael Underwood, but I thought I would separate mathematicians from physicists, for whom there seems to be some disagreement.)
Well, anything that needs nice typesetting of mathematics.
Beyond that, many peer-reviewed journals accept or require submissions to be in LaTeX- this covers many, many fields.
Personally, I use it for:
I'm an attorney at law in Germany and writing all contracts and motions using LaTeX. Word tried to outsmart me too often; and especially while under stress working against deadlines I found that very annoying. Using LaTeX I can get printed things exactly as I wish it, which is also very important.
Educators! I am a math teacher, so I use LaTeX to make sure my materials look professional. I also love the flexibility, cross-platform compatibility and permanence of writing my materials in LaTeX. No matter where I teach or what technology I have access to, I'll be able to find a computer somewhere that can compile .tex files and display a PDF. Not to mention all of the other things the other people here mentioned.
Economics :)
Notwithstanding economics is a social science, it makes heavy use of mathematics, even if one does not take into account econometrics (a set of statistical tools for economics).
Some philosophers use LaTeX, mostly those working in logic or in areas where there is frequent recourse to logical notation. Amongst linguists, quite a few semanticists use it, too.
It does seem that it's really catching on in my field (Philosophy); it certainly started with the logicians and philosophers of science, but has definitely spread even to those whose work has relatively little formalism. (I know a few ethicists using it.)
Some of us even started the PhilTeX forums and blog dedicated to LaTeX for philosophy (and other humanities)
In addition to what has already been said, a couple of publishers use some variant of TeX for the books they release, sometimes as their only typesetting software. I'm aware of a least half a dozen such small publishing houses in Europe and North America; they use it for all kind of books, not only scientific ones. And of course, big scientific publishers like Springer or Elsevier use TeX extensively because they deal with lots of mathematics texts.
But one of my funniest encounters with TeX was when I overheard two staff members in a big Chinese bookshop in Paris discussing how to process documents with TeX; I think they used it to produce the shop's catalogue (and needed it to typeset Chinese).
I use it for any important, customer facing documentation for our software company. That means, all of our contracts, product catalogs and product documentation. The fact that you can throw it into source control so nicely is huge! It's the only truly cross-platform tool that I know of, outside of InDesign. Also, nothing on earth does cross-referencing or indexing nearly as well.
Finally, for our product catalog, I use the DataTool. I'm able to save the product pricing spreadsheet out of Numbers or Excel and create 12 specific versions our price sheet. We're a small company and there is no way we would price our products or have as many specific kinds of dealers without LaTeX, just because there is no other, efficient way to do what we do with it.
Every now and again, we think, "Is there something easier that the rest of our staff would pick up more readily?" We always come back to LaTeX. Sometimes, it's a little bit hard to do a really complicated and important thing.
I produce work --- essays, poetry, broadsides --- using both digital (LaTeX) and traditional letterpress (lead type, ink, mechanical press) technologies. LaTeX is invaluable for trying layouts before the time consuming effort of letterpress work, especially for books consisting of several signatures.
LaTeX is also used (by others) to create critical editions of texts in many languages.
I use LaTeX to produce my illustrated children's books. Introduce kids to TeX before they've even heard of a word processor
I was asked by children at an infant school book reading how I produce my books so I told them about LaTeX (although I'm not sure how much of it they understood).
I also used LaTeX (with
(I know that may not be technically accurate since I used LaTeX2e, developed by the LaTeX Project team, rather than LaTeX2.09, developed by Lamport, but there wasn't enough space to elaborate. However it has generated some interest in TeX and LaTeX when I talk at literary events.)
And naturally I used LaTeX to typeset my LaTeX text books
Other things I use LaTeX for: press releases (using
I'm an anthropologist, and have been working in collaboration in departments of both biology and social sciences in Chile and UK.
I have never met another anthropologist who uses LaTeX, though I can think of hundreds of useful applications (TikZ can be amazing to draw archaeological plans, LaTeX allow to design great layouts for informant quotations and discourse analyses). This is very annoying, especially when they export wonderful R graphics to bitmaps!
LaTeX use is very common amongst statisticians. Some econometricians use it, but most seem to use Scientific Word (which is built on LaTeX) instead.
Literate programmers use TeX for commenting their code, and many more simply use TeX for documentation, especially if the program is math-heavy.
It is also used by some philologists and critical editors, mostly because you can't have multiple footnotes layers with more generally widespread word processors, while it is quite easy to do so with critical edition packages such as
I'm an IT consultant. I use LaTeX for all my text processing. That includes:
And then there's real life:
I find that, in general, people do react positively when they see a nice bit of typesetting.
I use TeX to make (printed) product catalogs commercially. No formulas, no "high quality typography", but fast and efficient fully automated processing.
I proofread someone's theology dissertation which was written in LaTeX -- I'm sure the packages it used for displaying Hebrew and polytonic Greek were simpler than entering those characters in a word processor.
At least one art historian uses TeX :) I wrote my Ph.D. in LaTeX and a couple of exhibition catalogues in ConTeXt.
There are a few engineers that use it as well. If you count us under "academic discipline" ;-)
I am in the Earth Sciences, more specifically glaciological research. I use LaTeX for authoring papers since many Earth Science journals have LaTeX templates (incl. Elsevier, AGU, Int'l Glaciological Soc. and Copernicus). I am also Editor in Chief of an international journal in my field and am implementing a template for that journal in collaboration with a professional LaTeX expert. I have also started to convert many of my teaching documentation to LaTeX. My university does not provide LaTeX templates so i have adjusted beamer, beamerposter, the university letter head, and our standard ways to provide course information (incl. grading criteria, course schedules etc.) into LaTeX. Being in charge of the research education in the dept., I am trying to influence our graduate students to at least be aware of LaTeX. Some have become hooked which is always a good feeling. Working in an otherwise totally Office dominated environment has its chalenges but when you enjoy LaTeX, then what else can you do.
Some computer programmers use it.
More or less, as a programmer you can reuse a lot of tools...
I'm a UK based psychology PhD student. I'm using LaTeX for my dissertation and use Beamer for presentations. The only other person using it in my department trained as an econometrician. I'm forced to use MS Word for journal articles as a) coauthors generally use it, and b) most journals only accept .doc or .rtf.
Regular people that just want a good looking resume.
As the author of a resume class, I've received countless requests for help or new features coming from first time LaTeX users, many of them asking me some variation of:
I've received emails ranging from a fireman (with a great feature idea) to a classical singer...
Here is a rule of thumb one of my colleagues mentioned to me about 10 years ago, and I religiously practice since then:
I am an Earth Science grad student & Chemist. I use it to typeset papers that are single-authored (i.e., by myself) and more than 5 pages. At least one of the Geochemistry Faculty in my department use LaTeX regularly.

2012 Best Supporting Actor Contenders
Is this the most competitive category of the season?

Max von Sydow, "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close"
Pro: Early buzz indicates Von Sydow gives a moving and memorable performance in Stephen Daldry's adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer's novel. Stunningly, Von Sydow has never an Oscar and only been nominated once, for "Pelle the Conqueror" in 1989.
Con: If he's as good as advertised it's hard to see Von Sydow being overlooked this time around.

Jeremy WNo offense, but I couldn't disagree more. It's been a GREAT year w/ many worthy performances, but this has pretty much been Christopher Plummer's award for awhile. He's a heavy favorite and I'd be shocked if he didn't win.November 18, 2011 at 5:54AM ESTReply to Comment
JonnybonI'd like Christopher Plummer to get an Oscar before he dies, but it certainly wouldn't be a shock if he didn't win. He's probably favorite at the moment, but not "heavy" by any means.November 18, 2011 at 8:19AM EST
DannyAs Kris and Anne discuss on the podcast, Max von Sydow may be as likely to be nominated for Extremely Loud etc. Then there would be two highly deserving under-nominated veteran acting greats in the mix. I've seen both performances and they are both very good, and both actors so clearly sentimental favorites too, this could be tough.November 18, 2011 at 10:58PM EST
Yani (guest)I wish Benedict Cumberbatch could be nominated. He is truly amazing! But the field is so crouded and the film is a British spy thriller (not a popular choice).
But I certainly hope he'll get the rightfully deserved recognition one day!November 18, 2011 at 6:07AM ESTReply to Comment
G (guest)Meryl Streep didn't help Stanley Tucci get nominated for "Julie & Julia" ... because he wasn't. But he did get a nod for "The Lovely Bones," which was released the same year.November 18, 2011 at 6:52AM ESTReply to Comment

JJ1No mention of Tom Hardy in TTSS?November 18, 2011 at 9:38AM ESTReply to Comment
YaniI agree with you. Tom Hardy deserves a nod.
I liked Benedict Cumberbatch more, but the cast is wonderfull all along.
The problem is they'll probably cancel each other out.
Still I would love to see Benedict Cumberbatch be recognised for his fine work. I'm certain it'll happen one day!November 18, 2011 at 10:57AM EST
DylanSYeah, that was surprising. And I thought a bit disrespectful since the consensus would agree that he's getting raves in the film every bit as much as Cummberbatch and arguably more than Firth, Strong and Hurt. He should be added.November 18, 2011 at 11:01AM EST
mayIt's his opinion, just because he prefers to emphasize the other performances doesn't mean he is being disrespectful. It's a wonderful ensemble performance all around; if Hardy really does stand out, one critic's opinion is not going to change that.
That said, kind of bummed out for Mark Strong who keeps getting shafted. Would be cool if Firth had a third consecutive nomination (but it won't happen I know); fantastic career choices and performances since A Single Man.November 18, 2011 at 12:31PM EST
mayBy shafted I mean he's getting glossed over by other critics.November 18, 2011 at 12:33PM EST
Hope (guest)George: I respect and trust your hindsight a lot for not dumping Tinker Tailor, Gary Oldman and its supporting actors as strong Oscar contenders like some pundits already did; it is truly one of the best films this year and the ensemble performance is one of its strongest suits. Also, am very glad to see that someone across the pond finally points out the fact that has been circulating among lots of U.K. audiences and pundits: Cumberbatch's performance in Tinker is possible the standout among the stellar supporting actors. For me, Strong is my second pick, but he and Firth are very close; I do understand your reasoning of putting Firth in the second though. Finally, I'd say that let the ones deserving the Oscar nods get their noms, why wait for "someday"? Cancelling-out each other should not be an issue to begin with.November 18, 2011 at 11:51AM ESTReply to Comment
YaniI wrote those things about "some day" and "cancel each other out". I don't want it to be like this. I agree that it'll be a travesty if Cumberbatch is not nominated. But the awards are not always fair and just. And the academy may feel it's an ensemble piece or the many great performances could split the votes.
This year in the supporting actor we seem to have a clear winner - Plummer - I haven't seen the film yet, so I don't know if it's the "carrer achievement award". Brannagh seems to be a lock, Sydow and Brooks, too. And that leaves only one spot. for which we have Armie Hammer, Nick Nolte, Hoffman, Clooney, Brad Pitt, Ezra Miller, Jonah Hill, Robert Forster, Serkis, Rickman, Broadbent, Corey Stoll (Allen works miracles for his actors), Tom Hardy, Mortensen, Kingsley, Firth, Strong, Hanks, Giamatti and others and most of them have strong claims. Can magnifecnt Cumberbatch fight all these?November 18, 2011 at 7:09PM EST
HopeIt seems that I can only respond to your comments, instead of responding to YANI's comment, well...
I'd say that it's too early to worry about who will actually win when there are other "contenders" whom we have not even seen.November 18, 2011 at 10:41PM EST
HopeOops! I mean I can only respond to "MY" comments. Sorry.November 18, 2011 at 10:55PM EST
YaniI actually agree with you that it's too early. But I often think that the Oscar race is fixed in advance. For example, almost no one has seen Patton Oswalt and Max von Sydow but they are major contenders for the supporting nod. How exactly does this happen?
Yes, it's early, but as far as I've read so far, it seems the race has a winner. We haven't seen all the performances, but it looks as if it's already decided. It may be unfair or wrong or weird, but I guess these things work sometimes on early rumours and "it's about time he receives an award".
All we can do is enjoy the superb work of some amazing actors, regardless of what the academy voters think.
Still I wish for Cumberbatch to be nominated.November 19, 2011 at 4:09PM EST
fsdsfs (guest)If you'd use logic or went to the FYc site you'd know:
Jeremy Irvine is going to be Campaigned in Lead Actor. War Horse has at least three supporting actor possibilities and has a very strong chance at succeeding everywhere.November 18, 2011 at 12:27PM ESTReply to Comment
marvelfan (guest)Cumberbatch is a phenomenal actor. Considering the line up in Tinker Tailor it feels cheeky to say he was the best actor int eh cast but hell he was. He stood out above all of them even Gary!November 18, 2011 at 1:01PM ESTReply to Comment
reynold (guest)Cumberbatch gave a far more charismatic performance than Hardy. Hardy really blew it in the scene set in Paris. Very unsubtle.His tone garred with his performance in the rest of the film. Infact as he had the opportunity to film most of his scenes twice you'd have thought he'd have done better.
I'd pick Cumberbatch followed by Strong and Firth. I wouldnt even include Hardy. I get fed up how once youve made your name in fanboy films you can do no wrong.November 18, 2011 at 1:06PM ESTReply to Comment
DylanSThat last line was also very disrespectful to Hardy, who's done excellent work as an actor, regardless of whether or not it was in "fanboy films". Also, I'm pretty sure most american audiences recognize Mark Strong from work like "Sherlock Holmes" and "Kick-ass". How would you classify those films?November 18, 2011 at 1:46PM EST
chi (guest)Supposedly there's a very powerful scene between Cumberbatch and Ciaran Hinds in Tinker Tailor which Gary Oldman wanted to keep in but time constraints meant it had to go. I hoep its on the DVD.November 18, 2011 at 2:41PM ESTReply to Comment
jezzleffezzleNick Nolte was so heartbreaking in 'Warrior.' I hope he gets acknowledged somehow during awards season.November 18, 2011 at 3:24PM ESTReply to Comment
jezzleffezzleAlso, Greg, I'm confused by your statement about Rickman being better in Part 1. As I recall, he was only in the opening scene. Great restraint in that scene, but still, only one scene.November 18, 2011 at 3:29PM ESTReply to Comment
DannyYes, that was odd. I could understand if he meant Half-Blood Prince. But still, it is so obviously in DH2 where Rickman gets to shine, relishing Snape's known and newly revealed character facets. I agree with Greg though that Warner Bros. will have to push harder and specifically for Rickman if there is to be a chance in hell.November 18, 2011 at 11:11PM EST

Niles J (guest)Benedict Cmberbatch is so deserving of a nod... He has been absolutely brilliant in every role I have seen him play, and I think highly underrated outside of the UK. Even in this crowded field... For me, this performance was extraordinary.
Would love to see it happenNovember 18, 2011 at 6:05PM ESTReply to Comment
perelliI have my fingers crossed that Benedict Cumberbatch will be Dr Strange. Then the world will realise what an extraordinary actor he is. I saw him as the creature in Danny Boyle's Frankenstein and he was electric. Just sensational. He's great as Sherlock in the BBC series but his whole back catalogue of work is brilliant. Looking forward to seeing him play Tietjens in BBC>HBO Tom Stoppard adaptation of Parade's End. Its a great role.November 18, 2011 at 7:50PM EST
Danny"In his three previous films, director Stephen Daldry has seen six of his actors receive best actress, best supporting actress or best supporting actor nominations."
Not to be picky, but I count "only" 5 actors nominated so far in Daldry's films. Winslet, Kidman, Moore, Harris, Walters. But that list includes two best actress wins. Von Sydow will be a likely sixth. (And Bell shoulda been the first imho)November 18, 2011 at 11:05PM ESTReply to Comment
loveforbuzz (guest)I think Tom Hardy is a good actor. I can't wait to see Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. It looks like it should be a phenomenal film. I hope the actors are considered, along with the film. I know George Clooney has got a lot of frontrunner buzz, but I think Gary Oldman may steal it. I hope so, he's so fantastic.November 23, 2011 at 7:27AM ESTReply to Comment

Hi Pierpaolo,
Thanks for the update. I guess I need to do a little more research/work on the problem.
Can you post what your regional machine/browser settings are? What is your current timezone offset? Are you observing Daylight Saving Time. I have another hunch on what the root of the problem might be, but need to reproduce the issue on a local machine.
29 Jan 2008 7:39 AM #12
why would you pick, say, a CEST date if you're sitting in the CET timezone?
how would you even do that in code?
29 Jan 2008 7:53 AM #13could you provide a simple test case (browser agnostic please) to demonstrate this problem, and a clearer explanation of the scenario? why would you pick, say, a CEST date if you're sitting in the CET timezone? how would you even do that in code?
I'm 80% confident the problem is connected to DST. I just haven't had a chance to work it all the way through.
29 Jan 2008 8:24 AM #14
if you have a test case / start working on this be sure to update this thread. i'll chip in when i can (got a ton of things on hand )
31 Jan 2008 12:41 AM #15
Sorry for my delay.
Coolite is right about the problem...and I'm more optimistic than him: I think the problem is 100% connected to the DST. Unfortunately the code of the DatePicker is complex, and at this time I can't produce any better solution than the previously attached patch. Sorry for that.
I'll try during next week end to get out something more solid and maybe an example of code to reproduce the bug "everywhere".
Thank you for paying attention to this problem.
19 May 2008 11:44 AM #16
The problem that you are experiencing seems to be the same as my current one.
When I save a field with the DateField/DatePicker, the ajax post has a mostly correct date:
PHP Code:
datetest: Thu+May+22+2008+00:00:00+GMT-0700+(PDT)
PHP Code:
var_dump(date('Y-m-d',strtotime(str_replace('+',' ',"Thu+May+22+2008+00:00:00+GMT-0700+(PDT)"))));
PHP Code:
string(10) "2008-05-21"
PHP Code:
$date = "Thu+May+22+2008+00:00:00"
echo date('Y-m-d',strtotime(str_replace('+',' ',$date))); # Prints "2008-05-22"
The problem may not lay within extjs, but in the difference of configured timezones from your browser to your backend. It would be nice if ext let us specify our own date output like it does our input.
I put in an ugly hack like so:
PHP Code:
$date = reset(explode('00:00:00',$date)); # Because I don't care about hours or seconds, just days. (extjs hack also)
$time = strtotime($date);

Ext.form.DateField.prototype.menuListeners.select = function(m, d) { this.setValue(d); this.fireEvent('dateselect'); } Date.prototype.clearTime = function(clone){ if(clone){ return this.clone().clearTime(); } this.setHours(0); this.setMinutes(0); this.setSeconds(0); this.setMilliseconds(0); this.setTime(this.getTime()+(3600000)); return this; };
I hope that solve some problems. CYAJava programmer

The problem is OS Timezone Configuration
Hi everybody,
I was facing the same problems with datepicker in firefox and IE. When i reconfigured properly the OS timezone, i discovered that it was not a ext js bug.
I am using an NTP server to synchronize my computer's time and
i set it to UTC with GMT -3. Before i had this misconfigured, after i fixed it, the problem with datepicker disappeared.
Thanks for Ext team orientations and your very good tools developed.

Date.prototype.clearTime = function(clone){ if(clone){ return this.clone().clearTime(); } if(this.getHours() == 23){ this.setTime(this.getTime()+(3600000)); }else{ this.setHours(0); } this.setMinutes(0); this.setSeconds(0); this.setMilliseconds(0); return this; };
This probably is a difficult to simulate scenario because the DatePicker is only affected on the month that the DST kicks in. In our brazilian scenario, where this year our DST starts on the 19th October, the ONLY affected dates are from 20th October to the last date shown on the date picker page. If you select one of the November dates from the OCTOBER calendar page, it WILL be affected, whilst if you change the month to November, nothing wrong will happen.
Please, consider Pierpaolo's suggestion of using UTC dates throughout the component, as there's some sort of strange behaviour happening with Javascript and Windows machines with the "Observe Daylight Saving Time" option flagged on.
By the way, this problem also affects Ext 2.2 !

Rock On!
Pretend City Children's Museum was just a bit edgier than normal when the nonprofit educational organization held its music-inspired gala within its walls. The evidence? The bash was themed Rock the City, and some 350 sharp-dressed partygoers did just that. Bill and Christina Lyon, and Mark and Sarah Fitzpatrick jammed out to the sounds of '80s cover band Flashback Heart Attack and nabbed live auction items like trips to New York, the Kentucky Derby or Mammoth. They also raised their paddles high during the Fund-the-Mission program, which brought in $100,000 for upcoming travel exhibits, scholarships and more at the institution. And with $400,000 raised by the end of it all, it's safe to say the night closed on a high note. –Photos by Ann Chatillon

Bad credit can happen to the best of people, and while you may be aware of all the usual causes for a bad credit score, there's one you might not know about, and it's leading some mortgage lenders to step up and say beware.
When monthly payments start to stack up, you may be tempted to get a credit counseling service to sort things out. They often promise to take over all your accounts, stop phone calls from creditors, and reduce your debt altogether. But tempting as it may sound, financial advisors say it may not be good news for your credit report. Not only can that kind of take-over lower your credit score, most mortgage lenders consider it the same as Chapter 13 Bankruptcy.
So if you're looking to finance a home, having a credit counselor's stamp all over your credit report can be a red flag. Often, it will disqualify you for loans, and many lenders won't consider lending you money until two years after you've been with a credit counselor or consolidator.
Barry Bray, Vice President and Chief Credit Officer for Citizen's First Bank, says not all credit counseling services are a bad thing, but look for those that will educate you on how to take care of your own finances if at all possible, and beware of signing on with someone who can take over your accounts and possibly damage your credit.
