What's On Your Mind?

Tuesday: Open Forum
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
This is the Open Forum Coffee Talk. That means ... anything goes. Ask a question, make a suggestion, share a story, offer some advice -- the floor is yours!
Help with a brother in law, please. My brother in law has lived through a bitter divorce, that he brought on himself by a violent act that included a house and an ax...no BODY was hurt, but everything was pretty much destroyed. His wife left, of course, and has full custody of their two young boys, and he was only allowed to have supervised visits for about 3 years while going through counseling, anger management and parenting classes. Now even though she is difficult, I understand why she left him. I would have too, but she hasn't been in contact with us, and last I knew she is negative and pretty much on drugs and alcohol all the time. Now as of last year, he has earned the court's trust to see the boys when he has the visitation rights...which is every two weeks. Ex-wife moved across the state with the boys, without telling anyone, which made it hard for B- I- Law to see them. {It's about a 6 hour trip without kids in the car}. Here's my dilemma: he doesn't know how to handle them, much less PARENT them, they are not well-behaved AT ALL and he believes that every time he comes across the state, he can just drop in! Additionally, one has scary/life threatening food allergies, to foods we eat, pretty much daily, and the other one is just super picky and wants anything "else" than what I have made. Now for the last four visits this last couple of months, I have bent over backwards and cooked up a storm of all the things he said they like. We have planned cooky baking and snow fort making. Going to the lake, and the park. And I am DONE! I have 5 kids I am trying to raise, and it is NO FUN for them when the cousins come over. They really dread it. *I* dread it. Now I just got a phone call that he is coming over. I need help with my boundaries because my husband, will not. He feels like we should always help, but he doesn't help. I end up doing all of the cleaning, putting all nut, dairy and other stuff away, dip everything in 409, and making the menu, for 3 very un-appreciative guests. Ugh!
I feel like I am losing my mind! Hormones are raging, and I feel angry, irritated and frustrated pretty much all day! What is wrong with me????my hubby is thinking I am "always" mad, and don't want to have relations with him [I would like to, but my cycles are not normal, and as much as I love our children 15 years down to 2, I would probably have a nervous breakdown if I get pregnant right now.] I have a few health problems that I am working on, as well as losing 50 or so pounds, and at 46 years old, it ain't easy! Any advice? Any books that could shed some light on this depressed, sour outlook I seem to have? Normally I just love life, and am an eternal optimist. Right now, everything sucks....and I feel like a dark cloud is all around me...help
Hi Antique Mommy, I am another "40 something" and will be eagerly reading for ideas...until then, I'll pray for you, and hope some of the ladies out here in F&F / Catholic Digest will be able to help!
Antique Mommy, I had a simliar experience ie feelings of anger, irritation after the birth of my 3rd son. I won't go into the whole story but it took specifically timed blood tests based on my cycle to figure out the problem--my estorgen and progestrone had bottomed out after delivery and never recovered. I ended up taking HCG shots for 3 specific days during my cycle and it has made all the difference in the world. Due to your age, I'm wondering if this could be part of the problem? I will say I'm not a big fan of taking drugs/medicine and it took some convincing on my OB's part to get me to try the shots but I'm so glad I did and so are my sons and my husband. For more information you might want to check out the napro technology website www.naprotechnology.com and click on Premenstrual Syndrome. There is some information there about progestrone/estrogen support and common symptoms.
Lynn: How long do they visit? Are they staying the whole weekend of his visitation or just stopping by on their way back to your brother-in-laws place? You should start with the length of the visit. They can come for the afternoon, or whatever time frame makes sense. Once the weather gets better, maybe you can even plan an activity at a neutral location. No worrying about scrubbing everything down, and when it is done you both move on (no worrying about how you are going to politely kick them out). In terms of the cooking, make sure there are things they can eat, but don't feel like you need to go further than that. I mean, don't serve foods with allergens, but don't worry so much about preferences. You are right to set some boundaries. Another way to set some boundaries is not being so available. If he calls on Wednesday to say he is coming over Friday --- sorry, you have other commitments! But also keep in mind that you can set a good example here. First, an example of good parenting. Second, you are also setting an example for your kids. If some of them are old enough, talk to them about how frustrating it is to work around this situation, but also talk about why you do it anyway --- because they are family, because you can be a good example, whatever your reasons are.
I am looking for some ideas to celebrate a long-distance baby shower. My husband's sister is expecting her first child in June. I live in Indiana, she lives in California, one of her sisters is in Virginia, parents are in Pennsylvania. We are definitely not getting together for a baby shower! Her husband's family lives an hour away in California, but I haven't really heard of any shower plans. We will get them a nice present regardless, and my husband and I will be visiting them in March (our first real trip without kids!) and her parents will be visiting in April. But I would love to come up with some sort of creative way to celebrate together in a meaningful way --- and, no, I'm not too interested in a Skype shower. Has anyone out there pulled something like this off, and what did you do?
Just want to share: my daughter is extremely sensitive, and I just discovered that punishing the *toy* works so much better than punishing *her* (yet she still gets the point). Case in point: if she's not supposed to throw toys in the house, yet she does it anyway... I sit the toy down and tell it it's in time out for awhile because it forgot not to go bouncing across the house. My daughter watches these "talks" in amazement, yet they are never addressed to her and she is just a spectator. Results (in terms of following rules) are the same as if we sat HER down for a talk... yet without her crying. I'm posting this as an idea for others with sensitive kids AND because I would love to know if anyone sees a reason *not* to keep doing this??? (My daughter is 3.)
Thanks Andrea, I have talked to my older kids, and the last several visits we have tried to do our best, it is just HARD! {It is sad to say, but our summer vacation, that we spent closer to his home, was kind of ruined because my husband felt sorry for them and invited them to the cabin we rented-they broke some things - accidentally - but then hid them, and we didn't find out until the owners charged us. } My brother in law does not seem to want to try? He just keeps walking out of wherever we are, to be away from them,I guess what bugs me a lot, hope I don't sound whiny, is that he does expect to be here, and have foods served just like his mother did when he had to have supervised visits. He also asked if he could just drop them off so he could go back to the hotel (where they are at night) and sleep for a few hours! !!!!! I wish *I* had someone watch over my kids so I could sleep....come on! He only has them for a couple of days twice a month. He needs to "Man up" and be the dad! Sheesh! I have tried to show ways to work with the cousins, but honestly they are really difficult, un-nerving, non-communicative little brats and I have no desire to ever see them again! I know all about helping someone in need, but I really am feeling taken advantage of---I think charity is wonderful but this situation is NOT my fault...I don't think it will ever be perfect, nothing this side of Heaven is---I'm also angry that B-I-Law went from visiting once every 4 years, rarely calling or writing and basically paying little to no attention to our family he suddenly wants tons of help in a tough situation every few weeks! Gah!
Lynn - have you tried taking a more "bad cop" type stance on their fod-related behaviour when they are at your house? I have a very spoiled, picky little nephew who comes over to play every so often and usually he doesn't like what I serve. He'll sit down and stare at the plate saying "What? I don't LIKE chicken with tomatoes. Ew! There's peppers in here too! My mom only makes chicken with noodles." etc (IN FRONT of my children, who are not picky in the least). It used to upset me like crazy, but now I keep a calm face and say, "Well if you don't like it you certainly don't have to eat it, but that's all there is for dinner, and it looks like you might be pretty hungry later." He'll start eating, never a ton, but he doesn't refuse to eat it at all any more.
Dear Antique Mommy, I am 32 and have four little ones (home sick today!) and could easily have written your post! I just very strongly encourage you to check out the Naprotechnology web site. I was feeling exactly how you described, plus very depressed and hopeless at times. My friend loaned me the book from the Napro people at Pope Paul the Sixth institute, written by women who had been through pretty much exactly what you are describing. They all had total or nearly total recovery with treatment. Though my regular OBGYN had run blood tests to check my hormones before, they weren't done during the correct time of my cycle and showed nothing. (I should mention I also have very strange/painful cycles) The tests done by PPVI really are a totally different thing, and are very accurate in showing what is going on in your body. I am going to start treatment this month. Just knowing that I am not the only person going through this awful, depressing time, helps me keep my chin up and make it through the days a bit easier. Please remember that you are not alone. You ARE a good mother! Just reaching out to us today says how much you care for your family, how much you want to bless them through your love. At times, we cannot be the perfect mother we so want to be. But they really just want YOU. They don't want anyone else. Maybe take it easy today, have pizza for dinner and just hold them and watch a movie, or play cards. Just try to connect with them. They love you SO much. It is such a blessing that our children forgive us all our shortcomings, and really just want to be loved. I'm sure teenagers are more complicated than littles, but I never fear that there is no one more special in their life than you and their Father. Please be encouraged, and remember that Jesus is walking with you. He never leaves you, and is always waiting for you to fall into his arms. He is ALWAYS waiting for you. He will ALWAYS forgive you, and he will ALWAYS love you. Forever. God Bless, Melita~
Lynn: I'm sorry! You are in a very tough situation if he spends the whole weekend with you guys. I'm assuming that is so he doesn't have to drive all the way back and forth across the state. I think you need to try and take a harder stance with your husband (this is his brother, right?). If it is tough to set boundaries with your BIL, try to set some boundaries with your husband, emphasis on WITH. I'm not saying you have boundary issues with your husband, I'm saying if you guys agree before hand, it will be easier to hold you husband and you BIL to those boundaries. Try to get in agreement beforehand about what you will and will not do. For example, setting time limits (Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, or all day Saturday) on the visiting time. Or, set limits on what work you will do. You will cook dinner one night only, the other night is take-out. If your husband doesn't like the limits, he can set up activities out of the house to fill the time, or cook the extra meals. I don't mean to sound harsh about your husband --- that isn't what I mean at all. I am more talking about treating yourself with respect. You are married, his family is your family --- but really, this is his family situation. You shouldn't have to deal with it all on your own, especially every month. Also consider taking some time away on the weekends when your BIL visits. Maybe you get a long coffee break after Mass or something. It can help your husband understand if he has to do all the dealing on his own, and it can help you to recharge.
Wow, if the BIL has a hotel anyway, why does he expect to see ya'll all the time like this? Can't he have HIS KIDS at his hotel room and plan fun activities for them in town? Many hotels have pools and I could see kids really enjoying that... plus surely there is some stuff he could do (take them out to eat, spend an afternoon at a park, etc.) If he starts to plan some of his own stuff with the kids maybe they will all start feeling connected/attached to one another, too. Either way, this is NOT your responsibility! I'm sure its awkward, but like Andrea said, you and your husband can come up with some limits and he (if needed) can set them down to his brother. Your BIL chose to mess up his life & his family. This does not entitle him to mess up your life and your family, too.
@Lynn. I like the recommendation that someone else made--schedule yourself to do other things (with YOUR kids) during that weekend. I can see where it would be very hard for your husband to say "no" but it might be easier if he ends up alone with them a few days (if he chooses not to go with you and the kids). Perhaps discuss this with a good friend and plan on an art project (or something) that will be scheduled for the next weekend . . . then you can't bring them along because they are not invited and if it is a two day project all the better! That way too you won't be home to cook and if it is important to your husband that you see them you can meet at McDonalds (or another totally "bad" kid friendly restaurant for dinner one of the days. Just an idea!
@Lynn--Oh by the way--check out Pinterest for good craft ideas or even things liking making your own detergent (cuz if someone told me to come up with a craft project I would look like a deer in the headlights! LOL)
Asking for prayers today. I "lost it" with my son over something stupid, and was hard on him for no good reason (not that there's ever a good reason, but there particularly wasn't in this case). I'm at work now, and I'm feeling like a horrible mother. He's a sweet little boy who didn't deserve to be treated that way.
Antique Mommy, You have no idea how comforting it was to me to read your post. (Though I will pray for you). Other than the fact that I am 44 with kids from 18 down to 1...you pretty much covered everything I have felt lately. A friend of mine who is very much into natural cures recommended the book "Before the Change" to me. I keep meaning to get it. I'm also going to check into the Napro info that a few people have given you. Thanks for asking the question. I needed to here "it" and the responses. Peace
@Andrea- my sister did a long-distance baby shower for me when I was pregnant with my son. She lived in Massachusetts and I was in Indiana. She planned it with my friends and family that lived locally and they played games and had a meal. Then they mailed me the presents with a CD of pictures (we're talking 2003 technology!). Although I wasn't there physically, it was nice to see everyone having fun and celebrating for me.

I have read in the description of the Something Wicked expansion for A Touch of Evil on BoardGameGeek that the expansion contains additional rules that include "expanded challenge for cooperative play," but I don't see the rules posted in the files section. We've had a fairly easy time at beating the base game co-operatively and so I'm curious what changes in a co-op game with this expansion. A different shadow track? Bonuses for the Villain? More frequent mystery cards?

Unfortunately, Flying Frog Productions seems to be very worried that people will not buy their expansions if the post the rules for them. With that being said, what the most likely mean by, "expanded challenge for cooperative play," is that a new Advanced Cooperative Mystery Phase Chart is rolled on (2d6) versus the old chart (1d6 - quoted below) before drawing and reading the Mystery Card.

I use Wolfram Workbench 2.0.

In fact, the relevant example can be found in the documentation, here, in the "Sample program" section. To make this useful also for folks who don't have experience with Java development in WorkBench, I will illustrate how this can be done from within Mathematica, by using the interactive Java reloader from this post. You will have to figure out how to run this from within WorkBench, but this should not be really hard.

What is the minimum number of co-ordinates used to perfectly describe the shape,orientation and position of a n-dimensional object? How do I make an approach to this problem? I am confused with the shape and orientation. How many dimensions do we need to measure even common 3-d objects?
What is the minimum number of co-ordinates used to perfectly describe the shape,orientation and position of an n-dimensional object?
The question is ill posed. A point can exist in an n-dimensional space. You need n coordinates to specify its position, but it has neither shape nor orientation. A piece with some arbitrary fractal surface as a shape would need infinitely many. The next step up from a point would be a sphere. It is a truly n-dimensional object wich can be specified with n+1 coordinates (for example the radius). The person who posed that question probably had the answer (n+1)*n in mind. This is the number of coordinates necessary to define a simplex -- the smallest polytope that is truly n-dimensional. It does have a completely defined orientation, and because the person who posed the question wanted to prevent something like the sphere as a solution he threw "shape" in there as well, making it quite ill posed.
The minimum pieces of information required also depends on where, what dimensional space it is placed, and not only on what dimensional the object is. For example, you place a point on itself, you need nothing. You place it on a line, you need one co-ordinate. You keep it in space, you need three.
And for determining shape, orientation etc.,consider this: Suppose you want to do it for a sphere whose radius you know. You can know about it's orientation and shape (but which you obviously still know) completely with four pieces of information: The three space co-ordinates of it's centre and it's radius. But this would not have been possible if you did not know that it were a sphere. Then you would probably be getting millions of co-ordinates and still knowing almost nothing.
One does not worry much about this because most of the time, you can do pretty well physics treating your object as point like.

BACKGROUND: I have been messing around with audio signals in Audacity and realized that by inverting a signal and adding it to the same signal I get no signal. Thus (S + invS) is really (S-S). (S+S) = 2S and S increased by 6db is also 2S (checked by subtracting an inverted S+S signal and got no signal).
QUESTION: What would be S*S, 1/S, and sqrt(S)?

Reading the answers to Python vs. Perl in ten years time here on SE, most people seem to say go with Python. I agree (sorry Perl fans ;-) ). I already know Python, and I think it is a very good language, sure, as any programming language it does come with its defects, but when I tried Perl I just didn't like it nearly as much as I liked Python.
I "know" C, Python, Java and Scheme and have toyed with several other languages. Now, is there any good reason for me to learn Perl? What is Perl "better" at than Python?
I do (hobby) application development and am learning some systems development as well (mostly programming for the Linux kernel).
I'm pretty sure Perl is not fundamentally enough different from what I know this far to broaden my mind too greatly either (I would probably do better by focusing on Haskell, Scala, Forth or something like that for that purpose).

I'm new to php and am making a simple login system. When someone wants to register, they go to register.html, then insert.php. The code below should add the data from the form to the table but is doesn't come up in it. I suspect it is probably the line: $sql=INSERT INTO... The only thing appearing is the echo statement at the bottom of the code I know there probably is a simple answer to this, but I still can't find it. Thanks, any help is really appreciated!
The code for insert.php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","user","p@ssword");
mysql_select_db("database", $con);
$sql="INSERT INTO table_name (email, name, password)
VALUES ('$email', '$name', '$password')";

Hi guys just a quick questions What are the real life application of catalan numbers? Thanks a lot!

Questions on MathOverflow are expected to relate to research level mathematics within the scope defined by the community. Consider editing the question or leaving comments for improvement if you believe the question can be reworded to fit within the scope. Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
In all seriousness, this type of enumerative combinatorics is very useful e.g. in figuring out expected running time for computer programs. An example involving Catalan numbers (which may seem a little contrived, but I think things like this probably do really come up) is: count how many times you go through the inner loop, i.e. how many times you print "hello world", in:
for $i_1=0$ to $1$
for $i_2=i_1$ to $2$
for $i_3=i_2$ to $3$
for $i_n = i_{n-1}$ to $n$
print "hello world"
This is discussed at great length in:
"Catalan numbers with applications" by Thomas Koshy. The main application seems to be to make money for the publisher (the book is insanely expensive), but google books has extracts.

Suppose I have a functor $f:(C,J)\to(D,K)$ between Grothendieck sites. Is there a condition on $f$ such that $f_!$ (the left adjoint to $f^*$) sends "$J$-epimorphisms", to $K$-epimorphisms, where by $J$-epimorphism I mean:
$h:X\to Y$ such that for all $C$, and all $y \in Y(C)$, there exists a cover $(g_i:C_i\to C)$ in $J$ and $y_i \in X(C_i)$ such that for all $i$, $Y(g_i)(y)=h(y_i)$.
EDIT: If X and Y are sheaves, then the notion of "J-epimorphism" coinincides with the categorical epis. As mentioned by David Brown, ANY left adjoint will preserves epis.
In fact, in the situation in which I was interested, I actually have such a (appropriate analogue of a) J-epimorphism between a sheaf and a stack, so, since f_! is a left adjoint, it will preserve this.

GENESEO, N.Y. -- Charles Kenny, a senior fellow at the Center for Global Development in Washington, D. C., will address issues of international economic and social development in a lecture at SUNY Geneseo March 7. His address, "Getting Better: Why Global Development is Succeeding," is at 4 p.m. in Newton Hall 202 and is free and open to the public.
Kenny, whose writings on the topic have received considerable national attention, argues that quality of life has improved greatly almost everywhere during the past century, even in places where per capita incomes have stayed flat. In fact, he argues that per capita income is a poor way to gauge improvements in overall living conditions. Infant and maternal mortality have plummeted, he says, and people today enjoy better nutrition and protection against disease, more education, better access to infrastructure, and greater personal freedom than ever before.
There is much room for improvement, says Kenny, but argues that progress need not be vastly expensive since it mainly involves transmitting ideas and information. He will offer a critical survey of what economists have had to say about the determinants of economic growth, but contends that even though growth is important and desirable, it should not be the main objective.
Kenny's book, "Getting Better," has been widely praised in The New York Times, the Financial Times, The Nation, The Wall Street Journal and many others. Bill Gates liked it so much that he wrote the introduction to the paperback edition. Both Foreign Affairs and Foreign Policy magazines called it one of the best books of 2011.
He has published articles and books on issues including progress towards the Millennium Development Goals, what we know about the causes of economic growth, the link between economic growth and broader development, the link between economic growth and happiness, the role of communications technologies in development, and the 'digital divide.' He is a contributing editor at Foreign Policy magazine and a regular contributor to Business Week magazine. He was previously a senior staff member at the World Bank.
Kenny has a master's degree in international economics from Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) and a master's degree in development studies from the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies.
The lecture is supported by the Jeff Clarke Endowment for Political Science and Economics. Clarke is a 1983 Geneseo graduate.

Service-disabled Veteran Named Small Business Person of the Year
"It was a pretty typical, grim startup," said Hartzell, who jokingly refers to himself as Serial Number 001, as Azimuth's first employee. "I was doing everything but painting yellow lines on the parking lot to keep the lights on."
But as time passed, Hartzell's persistence and leadership abilities have grown Azimuth into a company of nearly 100 employees and to be considered among the leading small businesses in the eastern half of the U.S. when it comes to fulfilling military contract obligations.
It is these qualities and experiences that have led Hartzell to being named West Virginia's 2010 Small Business Person of the Year by the U.S. Small Business Administration.
Azimuth was founded by Hartzell's desire to remain in West Virginia and to create a company that could successfully compete for, and win, Department of Defense contracts. Being a U.S. Army Special Forces veteran, he was very aware of the business opportunities that could be generated through support of the military. But, he also knew as a one-person operation, he couldn't do it alone.
"Early on there were a lot of people who either took pity on us or, for their own amusement, helped us out," Hartzell said. "It was tough being a company trying to break into the government contracting arena in West Virginia in the early 1990's. The focus was on natural resources and the high-technology 'push' hadn't evolved."
Hartzell can recall a few incidents where he received assistance, one being the time his insurance agent loaned him funds out of his own pocket to pay for a liability policy to enable him to obtain a contract. Another was when a lender pushed Hartzell's small loan request through his loan committee when he didn't have hard assets to secure it.
Another early key to success was the arrival of Electronic Warfare Associates (EWA), a large prime contractor for the Department of Defense, in the state. EWA identified Azimuth as a company they could work with and subsequently provided Hartzell a $79,000 sub-contract enabling him to hire his first full-time and part-time employees.
"That was really the start of Azimuth," Hartzell said. "Through that relationship, we obtained the necessary clearances for secure high-level government contracting. This was also about the time the West Virginia High Technology Consortium was formed. With the support of Congressman Alan Mollohan, the Consortium was the impetus behind the creation of the I-79 high-technology corridor. His goal was to lay the groundwork for mature companies like EWA to come to West Virginia to act as mentors for our small businesses."
Hartzell believes the mentoring aspect of this initiative was one of the most significant and valuable events in the history of Azimuth.
It was during this period the Department of Defense created a pilot Mentor/Protégé program under which Azimuth/EWA team was accepted.
"The experience under the DoD Mentor/Protégé Program really set us up for growth and how to perform properly on government contracts," Hartzell said. "If you don't perform well on government contracts, you aren't going to make it."
The contracting and sub-contracting opportunities obtained through the Mentor/Protégé Program made Hartzell realize he was in need "a very large stack of financial assistance" if he was to perform.
"We obtained two large SBA guaranteed loans which allowed us to purchase the equipment, software and tools we needed to successfully perform on those sub-contracts," Hartzell said. "Through experience I've discovered without proper tools and test equipment, you can't perform successfully."
Hartzell is proud of the fact he never missed a loan payment and jokes when networking with SBA officials, "These guys were foolish enough to loan me half a million dollars and the punch line is 'I paid them back!'"
Guaranteed lending was only one of SBA's programs utilized by Azimuth.
"Barbara Weaver, SBA's small business contracting specialist, played a very key role in our survival, like she has and continues to do for so many other West Virginia small businesses," Hartzell said. "Her contracting expertise and guidance has led to increased contracting opportunities in the state."
Another factor is an alliance that evolved among businesses in the high-tech corridor that led to the success of not only Azimuth, but of those businesses as well.
"We helped each other succeed," Hartzell said. "We cooperated and helped each other right down the line. We competed against each other, and still do, but we've always helped each other. Those relationships were and are still very powerful."
West Virginia's work ethic and values are looked to by Hartzell as the real key to Azimuth's success.
"We're able to recruit and retain very talented and loyal people," Hartzell said. "When asked by others about our success I say, 'I could not have done this anywhere else in the country. The West Virginia values are what make Azimuth the company it is today.' There are no doubt bigger and more profitable companies, but no one works harder or has more fun than we do."
As a veteran and successful entrepreneur, Hartzell is always willing to provide advice to younger companies on the nuances of small business ownership.
"I've provided advice to many companies, not only here, but all over the country," Hartzell said. "I tell them to know their goals and motives. Find your local small business development center, your procurement technical assistance center, and your local SBA. Seek out those individuals who can help fulfill your objectives."
Hartzell is very happy to be selected as West Virginia's top entrepreneur for 2010 stating he "accepts the award on behalf of the individuals at Azimuth and all those out there who have helped us over the years." ARC loans are deferred-payment, SBA guaranteed loans, which can be up to $35,000. They are intended for established, viable, for-profit small businesses in need of short-term help to make their principal and interest payments on existing qualifying debt. ARC loans are interest-free to the borrower, 100 percent guaranteed by the SBA, and have no SBA fees associated with them.
ARC loans are made by commercial lenders, not SBA directly. For more information on ARC loans and the Recovery Act, visit the SBA's web site at www.sba.gov/recovery or contact the West Virginia District Office (304) 623-5631.

text: So how about a lesson that features a popular Asian icon? This lesson was drawn completely during one of my LiveStream broadcasts as of September 21st. The colors were inspired from a tattoo I seen on the web which was so interesting. In this helpful lesson, you'll be learning "how to draw a koi", step by step. These type of fish are almost always featured in tattoo art, or typical traditional Asian artwork. I've gotten a few tutorials for this fish, but none of them are as well detailed as this one. I'd like to show you the gateway to "drawing a koi fish", through a simple step-by-step format. It takes time and practice to draw these fish in a desirable appearance. Adding sharp waves and curves, lotus flowers, or even other fish will spruce up your drawing of a koi fish. Anyways folks, it's time for me to move on with drawing other lessons. I was really eager to submit this one so enjoy! Thanks so much for viewing.

What is your fashion view?
I'm not overly concerned with being "in fashion," and just buy things that I like! I think it's important to not make your look about following trends, but rather purchasing items that are uniquely you, things that you feel drawn to.
How do you describe your style?
More than one friend has described my style as "cupcakes and rainbows." Seriously. I'm not sure that's accurate, but I do love lots of color and wear dresses about 90 percent of the time. I like things that are cutesy, vintage and/or just fun!
What are your favorite pieces?
Probably my absolute favorite thing I own is a pair of shoes my friend Mindy bought me in a thrift store in Brooklyn. (She lives there and is so good at picking out clothes I like, always sending me things she has found!) This particular pair of vintage shoes is white with grass-green trim and have a little red berry hanging from the side. They are absolutely adorable. Oh yeah – and I'm obsessed with strawberry prints!
Where is your favorite place to shop?
I've been having a lot of luck this summer at the Flea Off Market, especially a booth called Bluegrass Vintage, run by two sisters who also have an Etsy store. My absolute favorite place to shop is my friend Laura Fauna's sewing room. She also has an Etsy shop!
Who is your fashion icon, and why?
So many – Audrey Hepburn has been my icon since I was about 7 because she is so demure and beautiful and rocks the feminine short hair. I also love the style of Norma Arnold, the mom from "The Wonder Years." But mostly, I turn to my sweet and gorgeous friends for fashion help since I am terrible at putting outfits together and they are just all so great at it!

What was your favorite console cartridge game (NES,SNES,Genesis,etc.)?
Remember those consoles from your childhood, what one did you enjoy most? The standard franchises, the bizarre one off's, the ones no one knew about. They were worth hours of fun, and sometimes hours of frustration.
58 Answers answer
You can't go wrong with the original Legend of Zelda in my opinion.
I would have to say the Mario Kart on the SNES got the most play from me and my cousins. Super Mario 3 on NES would be a close runner up though.
I love them all, but the N64 was my poison. So many cool, new, innovative games. Some of the best games ever are on that system. Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64, Super Smash Brothers. I wasn't a fan but i better list it so I don't flamed, Goldeneye. Wrestling games were a blast on N64. Nothing will top WWF No Mercy IMO.
Still mad that someone stole it.
Chrono Trigger.
Well, young whippersnappers, I spent a lot of time playing Paperboy. Kids today would find it very lame.
Zelda and Contra. up up down down left right left right b a start.
Goldeneye & Ocarina of Time
the dual pak with Duck Hunt and Super Mario Bros for NES. Mario Kart for both the SNES and the 64 got a lot of play, too
Mega Man X
Tecmo Bowl,
Bo Jackson & Marcus Allen
Chrono Trigger on the SNES
Zelda: Ocarina of Time on the N64
secret of mana + kirby superstar + yoshis island for snes
mario kart and mario 64 for 64, with a little bit of starfox
NES- mario 3 and the sidescrolling zelda game, was it called the adventure of link or something? i dont remember
N64: Super Smash Brothers - Great game to this day
hmm...Mario 3, Sonic 3, Goldeneye or Diddy Kong Racing.
@pitamuffin: Paperboy was effing hard.
Tecmo SuperBowl on NES
Captain Skyhawk on the NES and Turtles in Time on the SNES.
Double Dribble
B-17 Bomber and Pitfall on the Intellivision!
Zelda: Link's Awakening on original Gameboy. So many hours playing that.
Shining Force (Genesis RPG)
Twenty-one answers and not a single mention of Pokémon Red/Blue. My heart is breaking...
Mario Kart on SNES and Goldeneye on N64 were my favorites.
Count me as another vote for Zelda, but Contra is a close second.
Legend of Zelda on the Super NES is my all time favorite. I can still go back and play it today, and enjoy it.
Dragon Warrior 1!
Genesis followed by N64. I loved NHL 92 on the Genesis!
My Atari 2600 circa 1981 in the eyes of myself as a 5 year old did far more for me than the other two consoles later in life.
Toejam and Earl
Super Mario RPG - Legend of the Seven Stars without a doubt <3 my SNES
I also liked Terminal 2 or other 'scope' (http://thenintendard.tumblr.com/post/9407510791/the-super-scope) games :)
SNES is really the console to go with. Link to the Past, Mario RPG, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Super Metroid, Final Fantasy 3... I mean, new consoles are great, but there is that missing piece that made these games just in a league of their own. You can take your high end graphics and sound, I want my great gameplay and storyline.
Atari 2600 - Megamania, Joust, Pitfall, and Yarrs Revenge.
Metroid Fusion for GBA was awesome, Crono Trigger is unmatchable, I love Tetris Attack for SNES and Earthbound too, on the NES it has to be Mario Bros 3 and Ducktales. Pokemon (all of them) for the gameboys and I didn't get to play Sega games as a child, so that's out for me.
I spent HOURS playing Kirby's Pinball on gameboy
Super Dodgeball for I think it was SNES was by far my most favorite as a kid.
Today I still enjoy playing Super Mario Bros 3.
It has and forever will be the very first RPG I ever played - Crystalis, on the original NES. I still get an urge to play it now and again.
Thankfully real life didn't play out like the game, as the world was supposed to end in October of 1999. :)
n64 - Goldeneye, Super Smash Bro., Star Fox 64, and the mario party games
SNES - Contra 3
NES - Mega Man 2 or the Super Mario Bros Duck Hunt combo
NES was my first console and I loved Zelda, Mario 3, Crono Trigger, Super Dodgeball, Excite Bike, but my personal favorite was Defenders of the Crown.
What's up with this "was" business??
On the NES: Didn't have one, but I remember having a blast with multiplayer Gauntlet 2. Most of the NES games I've played are within the last couple years, when I bought an NES and a library of games.
SNES: This was really my system. The Donkey Kong Country games for action (Metal Warriors was a GREAT game though!) I'm torn on RPGs. Mario RPG, Chrono Trigger, and Secret of Mana top my list. I've only played Link to the Past relatively recently, but that's a darned good game too.
Genesis: I've fairly recently fallen in love with Ecco. Earthworm Jim was great too.
N64: Mario 64, Goldeneye, and Starfox for action, the Zelda games for...well, I was gonna say RPG, but I guess those are kinda actiony.
Game Boy: Link's Awakening, Pokemon, TETRIS. A thousand times, Tetris!
@mcullers: There is only one R in Yar's. And that game kicked my butt. And it always left me wondering, why is this mosquito named Yar, and why is it so angry? And for that matter, why was there no prequel so we could make Yar angry enough to seek revenge?
ET for the 2600, of course. Something very Zen and calming about repeatedly falling in to wells to seek out Reese's Pieces.
On the NES, my favorites were River City Ransom (which I play now on virtual console on my Wii) and Shadow of the Ninja. Deja Vu was another on my list, along with Monopoly. The latter was the first NES game with synthesized voice sounds, and also the first game I paid $50 for brand new in a store.
I used to love Pro Wrestling on NES. Had an Atari 7200 and spent hours playing Dig-Dug.
Super Mario Bros. Hands down legendary.
famicom - dragon ninja, ninja kun, battle city
snes - chrono trigger, secret of mana, final fantasy 3
good times, good times
Battletoads - NES
Excite Bike - NES
Mike Tyson's Punch Out - NES
Super Mario 3 - NES
NBA Jame - SNES
I can't pick just one... I have all my old systems hooked up and play all my old games on a regular occasion... all 300 (about) of them
@mcullers: Yay Megamania! Loved that game.
@capguncowboy: did you really just put excite bike in there....
@lparsons42: E.T. on the 2600 - Worst Game Ever! The music whenever you would get stuck, over and over.
Atari: Pitfall
NES: Super Mario Brothers 3
SNES: I never owned one but I'd say Chrono Trigger
Sega Genesis: NBA Jam
N64: Goldeneye
I figure I'll throw in GBA because I still use it from time to time..
GBA: Final Fantasy Tactics
NES - Megaman 1, 2 and 4, super mario bros. 1, and the toughest and my favorite - Ninja Gaiden.
PC - Final fantasy 7 and 8.
All the Sonics and Humans.

Every ward in Augusta overwhelmingly passed the 1% sales tax that will be used primarily to fund a new waterline to El Dorado.
Wards 3 and 4 were home to larger margins but even Ward One came in with more than 60% of voters in favor of the measure.
Mayor Kristey Williams was pleased with the results.
"Providing a funding stream for our water infrastructure needs to happen now," Mayor Williams said. "With the passage of the 1 percent sales tax, Augustans are saying 'Let's get it done.' I'm extremely pleased with the outcome."
The vote total was 2,285 to 1,001.The new tax goes into effect in April of 2013 - about the same time as the new Super Walmart is set to open.

There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Yes, and either:
Software Architects who become too disconnected from the actual coding process become ineffective. They must be developers themselves. As Uncle Bob Martin once put it:
No, developer and architect are not completely separate roles in a healthy development organization.
Having either architects who never lower themselves to the code, or developers who never think about the architectural impact of the changes they make is a recipe for misunderstanding, "othering", and inefficiency.
They're usefully separate conceptual glasses through which to view the world but you can't usefully do one and never the other.
It can be seen that the term "development" is a general word for the entire process.
If broken apart it consists of:
In that regard I'd say it is rather unlikely that you will develop software without "architecting" it in one way or another.
Anyway, the terminology about programming process is notoriously imprecise. Developing, implementing, coding, designing, architecting, it all is used and misused on a daily basis. Don't think much of it.
And yes, the meaning is also subjective. Whatever a word means, often depends on a person who's saying it.
To answer the headline question:
At least in so far as they don't have to be done by the same person - a team might have one architect and several developers who work at a lower level.
Pragmatically an architect has to have reasonably current development skills and I suspect in most cases contributes to the development at a design and code level. Frequently for smaller projects you do everything. But for a big project? It can be enough to do on its own.
But... when I had a dev team - I was doing architecture (or at least making architectural decisions) but doing very little dev work - company of 8, dev team of 4 including me... not a lot of opportunity for me to concentrate on coding whilst ensuring that the other 3 devs had requirements and specs and were able to work on stuff without interruptions whilst having their questions answered promptly.
In my understanding, some, but not all, developers are also architects. An architect who is not a developer (i.e. doesn't code anymore) is possible, but IMO likely to create more problems than he actually helps solving.
Architect is a reference to the real architecture science and the meaning of that is that you have to think and PLAN for what you are doing before doing it. In architecture those principles are (since the Babylonians):
I guess that in IT if you apply the same principles before developing your software you may be called as well an architect.

Lucas served with action
February 23, 2013
ST. CLAIRSVILLE — Attorney Mark E. Landers filed a quo warranto action on Feb. 8 in Ohio Supreme Court against Belmont County Sheriff Dave Lucas. Now listed as case no....
Well, in the end lets hope that no matter what the voters get to express their opinion. I for one would not want "Dick" Flanagan for sheriff, and i voted accordingly. I see that there is no claim that Lucas is not capable of effectively serving as sheriff only that "Dick" and his cousin are stating there may be some sticking points on his qualifications may have expired. Fred Thompson was "Qualified" to hold the office but was a horrible excuse for leadership in that office. "Dick" could make Fred look like a superstar. Maybe dick should try leading the police department he works for now for an extended period of time so we can be sure he can be a leader. If Dae is not ruled to be able to hold this office then the voters should have an opportunity to choose a qualified candidate via a special election.

Wow people you amaze me! 1st Flanagan is paying for this whole thing himself.2nd Thompson brought this to light before the election an was shoot down because he was opp party to Lucas. 3rd It'snot up to A county judge to certify anyone. Do your home work Belmont county.. It took me ten mins to look up taxes paid on a house in FL that Lucas owns actually two propteries! I'm a ta payer and want to know that our Sheriff is qualified. Not just Lucas saying a judge said I'm ok so Thats that! Are you kidding me? I want proof! And this case should no be taken lightly! If he isn't qualified and is arresting people aren't those arrest false now? That's something I'm worry about. Is a rapest going to go free BC our board and judges didn't do background check on Lucas an let him be on the ballot... Think ppl! If he is fine but if he isn't????

My feelings are if Mr. Lucas was improperly on the ballot then he should be removed. Go back to work..put your time in and run again. I also feel that if it is found that he was improperly on the ballot that it also wouldn't be fair to Sherriff Thompson because he did run for sherriff in the primary. To properly resolve it if Sherriff Lucas is removed we would have to have a special election to be fair to all parties not just to Mr. Flanagan. at which time we would have to put Thompson back in office if he would accept until the special election or appoint an interim sherriff from the dept until the special election. In other words thompson has a right to run for the office if he chooses to in a special election.

Don't forget, when repeated claims were made against Lance Armstrong, lots of people kept saying "Enough already, leave the guy alone, he won and after repeated accusations, he's always been found innocent". Before it was over, the evidence was clear and he admitted his guilt on worldwide TV. In this case, similar accusations have been made by several people, including Fred Thompson, the former sheriff who should know more than anyone if Lucas had served recently enough with the Belmont Co. Sheriff's Dept. to qualify him to run. I agree with BPT, let this be investigated completely and then put it to rest.

If you dont have a qualified President, why worry about a qualified Sheriff????

If Lucas was considered a valid candidate because Sargus didn't do her job, then not only should he be removed for having not been qualified but she should also be sanctioned. Just because Lucas got more votes does not mean he should be in office if he was not a legal candidate. I cannot believe all who want to go along with the system just because they're too ignorant to understand the law.

To me it doesn't matter who got the most votes and who won the election, if the person who got the most votes may not have been qualified to run for that position in the first place. Personally I want this to continue playing out and get resolved. If Lucas is found to have the qualifications, he stays. If not, he goes. Simple as that. Moreso, if it's discovered that he lied or didn't tell the entire truth when he applied to run as sherrif (such as his home in Florida that was conveniently left off the application), he should be fully prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
In short, how can you elect the chief law enforcement officer of the county and expect him to be an example to all other law enforcement in that county, if he doesn't even have the qualifications or the right to be in that position and possibly got it by being disingenuous.. Let's let the investigation take place...

This is totally ridiculous!!! Sheriff Lucas was validated by all the channels that he needed to be validated by. Dick Flanagan is a sore loser and is attempting to gain office by slandering Sheriff Lucas! He wasn't wanted in there by the voters of Belmont County!! He needs to leave it alone!

At the Augusto C. Sandino International Airport (the airport in Managua, Nicaragua), I have heard there is a VIP service you can pay for, where an agent will meet you when disembarking from the plane and guide you through the immigration and customs process, or somehow make it easier. How exactly does this VIP service work? What does it cost, how do you sign up, and what does it include?
After emailing the address mentioned by Peter Hahndorf in his answer (email@example.com), I learned the following from "VIP Shift Managers" on duty who answered the emails:
From Tripadvisor:
However the link they provide does no longer work.
An English page on the Airport site talks a bit about the VIP lounge but not about the whole service. The Spanish version of the page mentions the $30 again but doesn't explain all the services. It does however list a phone number and email address for reservations. You can try to email them and ask for details.
There is also some talk about the service on the Nicaragua Living site, but it doesn't really answer your question.

BELLAIRE -- The Country Club Retirement Campus collected and sent 660 pounds worth of items overseas to the 359th Inland Cargo Transfer Company.
The items were sorted and packed in to 16 boxes to be sent over this past Friday. This project came about when Kristin Wittenbrook, marketing director of Country Club Retirement Campus, heard from another CCRC employee about Sgt. Emory Necessary and his unit in Afghanistan.
"I wanted to do my part to show my, as well as the rest of the Ohio Valley's, support and appreciation for everything these men and women do," said Wittenbrook. "They are thousands of miles away, this is the lease we could do for them."

Donald Kinemond, left, Kristin Wittenbrook, her son Layne Krivenko, 10, and Lawrence Smith tape up a care package to send to unit 359th ICTC?in Afghanistan. The items were collected by the Country Club Retirement Campus, with Wittenbrook at the helm. Overall, they collected 660 pounds to send to sent overseas. Both Kinemond and Smith are World War II?vets.
Sgt. Necessary has been in the Army for 14 years and is currently on his seventh tour of duty. He is a Powhatan Point native. There are 15 females in the 359th ICTC.
"We have residents in our facility that are anxious and worried every day about their loved ones overseas fighting for our country and our liberty," said Wittenbrook. "Even without the basic supplies, these men and women continue to do their job."
The following items they are asking for include: shaving cream, razors, shower gels, batteries, hand wipes, beef jerky, popcorn, hard candy, DVD's.
The items in this list are things that are in short supply or hard to get. These items will raise the moral of all the soldiers in the unit.
"We want them to know we still care about them and thank them for their service," said Beverly Necessary, whose son is in the unit that will be receiving the supplies. "This way we can give a little back to them for everything they do to us."
Along with CCRC staff, members of Necessary's family helped packed and ship the large amount of items.
"Having everyone back home come together to support us while we are gone is incredible. All of the soldiers in our unit spend day and night focused on our mission, with very little time to focus on themselves," said Sgt. Necessary. "Receiving mail, whether it be letters or care packages is one of the very few things we have to look forward to. Something like this reminds us of home and makes our days go by a little easier. All of us here in the 359th Inland Cargo Transfer Company would like to thank everyone back home for the time, effort and thought put into this package drive. We are very grateful and cannot begin to thank you all enough."

Whenever I try installing something I get a error. In a terminal I always get some error. In the Software Center fails. It tells me to check my Internet connection, even when I have an Ethernet cable attached to the WI-FI router.
When I try to download with the browser, opening the with the Archive Manager or saving it happens the same. I've even tried to use Flash-Aid. There seems to be a problem with my proxy or something.
I somehow managed to install Adobe Reader but I don't actually know how. I've read step by step guides but they use computer jargon that I can't understand.

Liberals should face the facts
February 24, 2013
To the editor: It's time that liberals face facts about themselves and live in the real world. They are like monkeys who hear nothing, see nothing and refuse to face reality....
Gilda, Great letter.
One thing you said, "Government is to blame for enhancing corporate welfare and enticing corporations to outsource our jobs to foreign countries". Not All the Blame. Unions and the American workers entitlement mentality are also a big factor. Then add on OSHA, EPA, IRS, and Workers Comp. and they don't have much of a choice. If that doesn't send them overseas they will send a SWAT team to raid their business because they purchased the wrong wood from a foreign country. But look at the bright side they have now armed FEMA, IRS, and Homeland Security to the teeth.
What possibly could go wrong?
Soon the Government will take over the Internet under the guise of preventing Chinese Cyber attacks.

Your an President Obama hater, probably a member of the NRA, a Tea Party Republican, and watch Faux News all the time. President Obama has gotten us our of the Great recession and our economy is turning around. More Americans now have healthcare then ever before. The facts are Bush made two wars on the Federal credit card that caused most of our economic debt troubles then let the big banks ruin our home ownership by not enforcing the rules without any consequences. Don't blame the liberals.

Anyone who believes that the republicans or democrats will save this country will have nothing to cling to when the final puzzlepieces for globalization are placed. Valley I agree that their will be additional spying but this government has be spying on us and tapping our communication since the Patriot Act was passed. We have been losing one right after another since 911, by the way the Ptriot Act was written years before 911. Debray you can blame the unions and environmentalists and anyone else yo want. It was corporate greed that sent jobs overseas. Look what they have done to the Chinese environment and look at the goods that they make in China coming back to poison us. Those who defend greed will die in the filth that it creates. Tom you are right about the Republicans but it will not serve you to ignore the same composition in the Democrat party

TomSays, Read Rolling Stone's article on Obama & his Wall Street cronies. You know, Rolling Stone, the uber left liberal rag. Matt Taibbi's 'Obama's Big Sellout': How The White House Is Caving To Wall Street.
Then read Obama's Job Czar, Jeffery Imelt. The C.E.O. of General Electric who sent more U.S. jobs overseas than any other corporate boss.
How about billionaires like Jogn Kerry & Diane Fiestein hoarding money overseas like Bill Clinton, Barney Frank & Cris Dodd. Bet you love those limousine liberals like Michael Moore who spews hatred towards Capitalism yet made millions and avoid taxes with loopholes, tax attorneys, and the Caman Islands.
Keep in mind, Nancy Pelosi made millions on inside Wall Street trades you yourself are prohibited and her husband making millions off of military contracts in Iraq.
Clean your own skid marks of liberal double standards before you talk about what others may have done. As an Independent I get it!

Ultrasound is a way of using echoes of very high-frequency sound waves to build an image of the fetus on a computer monitor.
It's a good bet you have no pictures of yourself while you were still in your mother's uterus. But many of today's young children have this first photo of themselves, framed and hung right next to their birth photo. The technology that makes it possible to take a peak at the growing fetus is called ultrasound. Sound waves are bounced off the baby to create a picture without any of the potentially harmful effects often associated with x-rays.
Ultrasound comes in handy for the following reasons:
When you have an abdominal ultrasound, you must drink a lot of water beforehand and aren't allowed to go to the bathroom until after the test is complete. This isn't painful, but it sure can be uncomfortable!
A sonographer is a skilled medical professional who has received specialized education in the areas of anatomy, patient care, imaging techniques, and ultrasound procedures.
The best part about an ultrasound is that it's so easy, quick, and painless. If you are in the early stages of pregnancy, you may be asked to drink several glasses of water before the procedure because sound waves travel more easily through the fluid in your bladder. To begin the ultrasound, you will lie on your back or side on the examination table and expose the lower part of your abdomen. Next, the doctor or sonographer will apply an odorless, water-soluble gel to your skin. The gel makes it easier for sound waves to travel through your body. The gel is sticky, but it wipes off easily at the end of the exam.
After the gel is applied, the doctor or sonographer will move the transducer over your abdomen. As the transducer sends out sound waves and receives echoes, they are relayed to a computer and displayed as a real-time picture on a screen that looks like a television monitor.
With some help, you will see the first images of your baby. In the early stages of pregnancy, you may be able to see the beating heart, the curve of the spine, and the head, arms, and legs. At a certain age, you might even catch your baby sucking his or her thumb. Sometimes the genitals can be seen and you'll get a good idea about the gender of your baby. Selected pictures can be saved on paper, film, videotape, or in a computerized format to be reviewed later by your physician. (A still shot may be printed out as a keepsake for your baby's photo album.)
Because ultrasound uses sound waves instead of radiation, it is a safe way to assess your baby's well-being.
In the ninth week, this test can also be used to identify a preliminary risk of Down's syndrome by examining what's called the nuchal fold in the baby's neck area. However, it is important for you to know that this is only an early warning of the possibility of Down's syndrome—not an accurate diagnosis. If the nuchal fold test shows a reason for concern, you will then need a CVS test for chromosomal evaluation.
In the last trimester, an ultrasound is used to perform a test of fetal health called a biophysical profile (BPP). This test measures and rates components considered important to healthy growth and development. These include breathing, body movement, fetal tone, and the amount of amniotic fluid. These factors, combined with an assessment of the fetal heart rate, give a clearer picture of fetal health.
There are no known side effects from ultrasound imaging, and it is not necessary to take any special precautions following your exam.
