Description of Incident:
A young Miami woman was arrested Sunday at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport after she approached a security checkpoint and said she had a bomb in her car.
At about 4:45 p.m. Johana Aranguren, 18, driving a white Ford Mustang, was stopped a the BSO security checkpoint at the airport parking lot. A BSO deputy asked her if she was carrying any weapons or explosives. Aranguren responded by saying, "there's a bomb in the glovebox." The deputy asked her to repeat the statement and she again said, "there is a bomb in the glovebox."
A BSO bomb-sniffing K-9 team was called to the checkpoint, along with the FBI, and Aranguren was taken into custody. Before it was towed away, the Mustang was checked and its glovebox was bomb-free. Aranguren was arrested by deputies on a charge of Making a False Report of a Bomb and was booked at the Broward County Jail, with her bond set at $7,500.
The charge is a second degree felony punishable by a sentence of 15 years in prison and a fine of $10,000.

CALDWELL (January 9, 2013)--A 16-year-old Central Texas high school student who was critically injured in an accident has died from his injuries, family friends told KBTX-TV in Bryan.
Christopher Schultz was injured just before 9 p.m. Saturday in a crash on FM 60 east near Lyons in Burleson County.
Department of Public Safety Sgt. David Adkins said Schultz was driving east at a high rate of speed when he lost control of his vehicle, which veered into the path of a westbound Dodge truck.
Schultz suffered a serious head injury and was taken to St. Joseph Hospital in Bryan where he underwent emergency surgery.
He was later airlifted to Texas Children's Hospital where he died.
Adkins said the two people riding in the pickup were not injured.
Of the three people involved in the wreck, Adkins says Schultz was the only one not wearing a seatbelt.
Earlier this week, friends and supporters gathered at the square in Caldwell wearing boots and carrying candles in honor of Shultz.
The group shared stories, sang songs, and prayed for Shultz and his family.
The Department of Public Safety says the family decided to donate his organs.

New Challenges During Pregnancy That Can Interfere with Being Active
In This Article:
Symptoms, causes, and treatment of back painSymptoms of Back or Pelvic Pain Due to Ligament Looseness at the Pelvis
- Pain stepping off a curb
- Pain turning in bed
- Pain climbing or descending stairs
- Pain walking on uneven surfaces
- Feelings of looseness or sliding in your joints
Symptoms of Back Pain Due to Muscle Strain
- Dull, achy
- Worse at the end of the day
- No specific area that hurts
- Better in the morning
- Begin an abdominal- and spine-strengthening program before becoming pregnant.
- Allow yourself to recline when your back muscles feel tired (lay on your side on the 3rd trimester).
- Wear comfortable, well-cushioned shoes when walking or standing.
- Do gentle back stretches daily (see the end of this chapter).
- Do strengthening exercises at least three or four times a week.
- Avoid bending, lifting, twisting (no "BLT").
- Consider swimming or water aerobics to unload the spine.
Severe, continuous back pain can be a sign of fetal distress. If back pain is associated with fever, bleeding, severe cramping, or fluid leaks, call your doctor at once. Other internal causes that can lead to back pain include urinary tract infections; stomach or digestive disorders, including constipation; lung or heart problems; or other organ problems. Having pain that is persistent and not relieved by changing position, activity, or rest needs to be evaluated by your doctor. Neurologic symptoms including numbness, weakness, and loss of reflexes require close medical supervision. Do not exercise if you are experiencing any of these dangerous symptoms.
WARNING Call your doctor immediately if you have severe back pain, bleeding, severe cramping, or fluid leaks.
Most back pain can be relieved with modifications in posture, positioning, and activity schedule. Avoid bending, lifting, and twisting without bending your knees and stabilizing your spine (suck in your lower belly with these movements). Avoid activities that make the discomfort worse (such as jogging). Do not wear high heels, and preferably wear walking shoes with extra cushioning. Be aware of sitting, sleeping, and activity positions and posture, and use lumbar cushions and pillows as needed. Using a wedge-shape pillow to support you abdomen while lying on your side can be helpful to relieve back and pelvic pressure. Relaxation techniques and 10 minutes of ice or heat packs to the painful area (not over the front of the abdomen or pelvis) can be helpful. Exercising or swimming in a pool can be very effective to prevent and treat back pain. An SI brace can be helpful with back and pelvic pain due to ligament looseness; a more supportive maternity brace can be worn for general back pain due to postural and muscle strain. The supportive "mother to be" brace may also be worn while exercising to prevent jostling.
More aggressive, active treatment for back pain in pregnancy includes physical therapy, which is recommended for back pain that persists for more than a few weeks, seems to be worsening, or interferes with sleep or activities. Accepted alternative therapies include acupuncture, acupressure, and gentle manipulations. Do not use whirlpools, saunas, or heat over the abdomen and pelvis. The safest medication to take for pain relief is Tylenol; do not take any other medications, even those without a prescription, unless you ask your doctor first.

Just read it, and you are a superb manager! Well done
Thomas Lewis' Career - June 2017 - England
World Cup Qualifying
A stunningly dominant performance from us, albeit against San Marino wh played with ten men for over an hour. Wayne Rooney kept up his amazing England form with another hattrick, and Swansea man Jason Malpass got his first England goal in our 7-0 victory. Our next qualifying match is away in the Ukraine, before a likely group decider at home to France.

Thomas Lewis' Career - June 2017 - England
Interational Friendly
In preperation for the Confederations Cup in Russia, we travelled to Sweden for a final friendly, and we had a real competitive game which swung this way and that. Eventually we came away with the win, which was thoroughly deserved.
In just a few days time the squad for the Confederations Cup is named, and I'm hoping Scott Sinclair will be available after missing these games because of an ankle ligament injury.
Last edited by tomtuck01; 16-04-2012 at 10:10. Reason: Corrected the location of the Confederations Cup. Stop saying it's in Brazil Tom, you fool!
Are you going to leave Wales tom?
Congratulations on a absolutely sensational season.Fantastic achievement.
Awesome achievement and all this after such a short amount of time.
Nice one!
I have to say that I really enjoyed reading this career. Taking Swansea to CL glory is a magnificent achievement and I am sure the temptation is there to leave on the highest possible way with the quadruple.
Will you take a year out of club management and go for glory with England at the World Cup? Will a new offer in the summer temp you into a different league for a new challenge? Will Swansea break the bank to keep their most successful manager ever?
Looking forward to the next update.
If i do leave, then as i have said previously it would be to focus my attention fully on England in preparation for the 2018 World Cup. From there it would take a monster offer to persuade me back into club management before the World Cup is over
I have to admit i am leaning towards leaving the Swans. I think my job is done here and that their is little else to achieve.
An announcement will be made at around 8pm this evening.
Last edited by tomtuck01; 16-04-2012 at 10:32.
Mate you are a god; winning the quadruple and going undefeated in the same season!?!? Definitely the greatest FM achievement I've seen. I think you should leave Swansea, it really won't get much better and you could easily spend years trying to replicate that season.
Wow, just wow
Will be logging on at 8 to see what you do!
A great sponsorhip deal for Swansea which will earn the club £12million over the next five years.
Excellent news for the Swans. The capacity of the Libberty Stadium will be 45,000 when it is complete, which is more than double the capacity of the ground when I took over.
This is easily the best news. It's something I've been requesting for a long time, and finally the board have taken it upon themselves to start upgrading the facilities.
Thomas Lewis Career - June 2017
Statement released by Thomas Lewis;
It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I have decided to stand down as manager of Swansea City.
Over the last four years I have had the most wonderful of times, and that has made this decision all the more difficult for me to make.
However, when I was appointed England manager a year ago, I, along with the Football Association, and the board of Swansea City, agreed that I would take the job on a part-time basis so that I could continue my work with Swansea. We agreed that come the end of the season the situation would be reviewed ahead of the Confederations Cup so we could all decide whether I could continue to perform both roles.
Following the long and successful season we have just gone through at Swansea, I have come to the decision myself that the time is right for me to step down as manager of Swansea City so that I can devout my time fully to the England job.
With just a year to the World Cup I feel that the national team needs my full and undivided attention, and do not feel I can do that whilst I remain with Swansea. These are the reasons I have decided to step down. This decision was mine and mine alone, and I was put under no pressure from the Football Association to make this decision.
I would like to thank all the players and staff who have worked at the club over the last four years for their tireless efforts in helping to bring success to this great club. I would also like to thank the chairman, Huw Jenkins, and the rest of the board for putting their full trust and belief in me.
But most of all I would like to thank the fans. Their unwavering support over the years has been a source of great inspiration to me, and I hope that whoever follows me as manager will continue to give them the success they deserve.
Good decision a season like that would be extremely hard to follow. Looking forward to seeing the World Cup and perhaps even more interested in what club job you take next. As you know be prepared for your successor to completely ruin the work you did at Swansea. Good luck dude.
Thomas Lewis Career - June 2017 - England
Confederations Cup Squad
It may look like I have been biased towards my former Swansea players with the squad selection, but they are all there on merit. The one who I guess will be of the biggest surprise to you is Leon Britton. But he was called up to the squad for my first game after Jack Rodwell withdrew through injury, and he hasn't looked back. In his nine England caps so far, he has an average rating of 7.34, with one assist and a pass success rate of 91%. To say he doesn't deserve his place would be absurd.
Starting XI For First Game
Jack Wilshere will come into the side for Tom Cleverley when he has served his one match suspension, and Scott Sinclair will be in the line-up ahead of Danny Welbeck once he has regained full fitness.
Very brave choice. I'd find it so hard to leave after everything. Even after falling a bit from a brief moment as English and European champions (with some aging players and money running out), I found it hard enough to leave my FM11 Ipswich side that I backtracked the first time, and decided to make a hasty return after I did so, I just couldn't bear to leave a side I'd grown very fond of.
Nothing wrong with that. Good luck at the next place anyway.
Does the press give you 'stick' the amount of Swansea players in the squad?
A great manager to continue their progress.
If we didnt have those dirty Yanks in charge he could have done it with us. I trust the Swansea board!!
Hello again Tom, would it possible to get a screenshot of your tactical instructions? as i love the way you have your team set up and playing, i have similar formation and i was just hoping your current tactic could maybe help me tweak mine to make it as effective as possible.
Amazing work with Swansea, looks like they are in safe hands with Benitez .
Good luck with England!
Not convinced that Benitez is the right man myself, i can see the same thing happening that did at Internazionale when he replaced Mourinho. But he has started by making a couple of good signings so i'll be keeping an eye on how things go there.
I'll also have to hope that my England players continue to get regular football under him.
Thomas Lewis Career - England
Confederations Cup 2017
Group Stage
A pretty good group stage for us, even though we did end up finishing second on goal difference. We started with a confident 3-0 win over New Zealand. We should have converted our domination into more goals, but still it was good start to the tournament. We kept things up against Colombia with another solid win, and with the Ivory Coast wniing against New Zeland later in the day, it meant we were through to the semi-final stage.
In our final group game against Ivory Coast, we had to win to top the group as they had a superior goal difference. However, I decided to rest players who's fitness had dipped a little and those on a yellow card. They gave us a really tough game, but had it not been for a late error then we would have won the game. As it was, it finished 2-2.
Other Group Standings
Brazil were negative in winning this group, drawing 1-1 with South Korea, and beating Mexico and Russia 1-0. The hosts, Russia, were very poor indeed and are not looking in good shape for the World Cup next year.
Because of our failure to wn our group, we would face Brazil in the semi finals.
Confederations Cup 2017 Continued
Semi Finals
A really top performance. We scored our goals early and from then on our job was pretty simple - stop them. We did it well, keeping decent possession while creating some chances to add to our lead. I loved how we played in this game to be honest, to restrict them to just four attempts was excellent.
My first international tournament won! It wasn't a great performance, and Mexico are a very good side. But we just about came through in the end. The attempts at goal/on target stats make it look like they dominated, but of those 27 attempts only two of them were clear cut chances, and eleven were long shots. Of our 16 attempts, four were clear cut chances and only five were long shots. That reflects that we made the better chances, and on that basis I felt we deserved it. Just.
Also, great to See a Swansea player make such an impact!

Great warm up for the real thing, well done.
Love Malpass winning the Golden Shoe.
No curse on you.
Thomas Lewis Career - August 2017 - England
Interational Friendly
We may have come from behind twice, and eventually run out comfortable winners, but I am not happy. We were sloppy in possession and allowed them to create too many chances. Our next game is away in the Ukraine, and we have to do better.
Thomas Lewis Career - September 2017 - England
World Cup Qualifying
A very good couple of qualifiers for us.
Without Kyle Walker, Kyle Naughton, and Kieran Gibbs through injury, we had a fair bit of reshuffling to do at the back as we had none of our thre main fullbacks available. Chirs Smalling was therefore moved to rightback and Kyle Bartley started as Phil Jones centre back partner. Leighton Baines, who had not made an appearance since I took over, was recalled to give us some experience at left back. Also ur talisman Wayne Rooney was missing, which meant Jason Malpass started upfront and Danny Welbeck at AMR. It wasn't a great performance at all, but we came away from a tricky game with a 1-0 win, meaning that we headed into the France game still two points ahead of them.
A win against the France would all but ensure qualification for the World Cup. We were again without the players mentioned above, and also Henri Lansbury had picked up a knock against Ukraine, so Josh McEachran came into the side. It proved an inspired move, as with the game heading towards a draw, McEachran slotted home from the edge of the area after a Scott Sinclair pull back with twelve minutes to go. Sinclair then made it 2-0 in stoppage time to more or less seal qualification.
Next up we are away in Lithuania, and we finish the qualifying campaign with a trip to Poland.

Great work winning the Confederations Cup. All seemed destined for you to get knocked out by Brazil but brilliant performance. You also continue to go from strength to strength in your qualifying group .
first signing for your next club Malpass! He is Immense!
Thomas Lewis Career - October 2017 - England
World Cup Qualifying
Qualification secured! Two pretty decent wins, as we were once again missing a few players through injury. We really had to reshuffle upfront against Lithuania, as Wayne Rooney was still missing and Jason Malpass was ruled out with a strain. Still, we ran out comfortable 4-0 winners, with Raheem Sterling grabbing his first goal for his country.
That result ensured our qualification;
Our performance against Poland wasn't very good, but we managed to come away from the Polish capital with a 2-1 victory to finish the group five points ahead of France.
Very surprisingly, Spain missed out on even getting a playoff spot as they were the worst runners-up, and the Netherlands had to settle for a place in the playoffs after finishing second in their group to Germany.

Congrats on winning the Confederations Cup as well as qualifying for the World Cup with ease.
I'm guessing "world" is one of those words you can't help mistyping? Lots of "wolrds" going on! I use to struggle with "the". Would always type "teh".
Thomas Lewis Career - November 2017 - England
International Friendlies
A very good performance against the side currently third in the FIFA World Rankings. Most of their efforts came before they had a man sent off, but a fair few of them were from long rage and not too much trouble for Joe Hart. We kept it well after they went down to ten men and tok the 2-0 win fairly easily.
I may have made a few changes for this game - both Jake Livermore and Ross Barkley made their debuts, and I rested captain Phil Jones, but still the performance was unacceptable. We won via a set piece, with the stand-in captain getting it.
The draw for the World Cup is just days away now. I can't wait to see who we get.

FIFA 2018 World Cup Draw
FA Expectations
World Cup: Reach the semi finals
Personal Expectations
World Cup: Win it
Well I have to go all for it, don't I? The group isn't as easy as it could have been, but we should certainly get through it and from there it's a lottery. I plan to leave the job after the World Cup, so I intend to lead my country to glory.
Wishing you good luck for the upcoming world cup, i believe you can win the major tournament! looking forward to seeing which club team you next become manager of though
I would expect you to take at least 7pts from your three games in that group.
Probably all 9.
My glasses may need cleaning but is there no Spain in the World Cup? What happened to them?
Good luck dude qualifying from that group should be simple enough.
decent Draw there
Thomas Lewis Career - March 2018 - England
International Friendly
A very good performance from us. Nigeria are a very solid 24th in the FIFA World Rankings, and the beat them in such a fashion was excellent. Raheem Sterling made his first start in an England shirt, and he played well, creating a goal. It looks like he wll certainly make the World Cup squad.
Sterling may be going great, but a couple of players from former club Swansea are struggling right now. Leon Britton, such an important part of the side, is without a club after hs contract was terminated. Josh McEachran is in the reserves and transfer listed, and Henri Lansbury and Kyle Bartley are struggling to get regular starts.
The question is, would you still take them to the World Cup? I am kind of unsure.
Typical AI managment destroying the team you made Champions League winners. I would take them to the World Cup - they got you there didn't they?
Do city still have the oil money?
you gunna accept?
Man Utd fan taking the Man City job, hmmmmmmmmmm!!!
what a tempting offer, i would just jump back into action with Man.City and begin mission dominate the world!!
Any big name foreign jobs avaliable (Barca, Real) ?

Best of luck Tom
How long do you plan on staying there?
Guess it will be cut the numbers in the team down or has that been done?
Thomas Lewis Career - May 2018 - England
2018 World Cup Squad
The squad is exactly the same as for the Confederations Cup a year ago, with the exception of Raheem Sterling coming into the squad for Jack Robinson. It means we have one less defender, but another attacking option.
Suppose the money was to hard to turn down at Man City. Could you link your regens in the World Cup Squad please?
No shortage of resources then.

Yeah, Aspens probably aren't a real effective snow tire. If you're able to buy new tires now after laying down $$$ for the bike, check out the Geax Gato 2.3. It's a killer mud tire, available in standard folding bead, but also in a Tube/No Tube (TNT) form that works great with standard (not tubeless) rims. You just need a wrap of Stan's tape and a tubeless valve, and they mount up with no heroics required.
The best part about running them tubeless is you can run really low pressure without risk of pinch flats. I've run my Gatos as low as 18 lbs (I'm 190 lbs) and they hold fine. At such low pressure, they have amazing grip, but they still don't feel too squishy or loose.

Undergraduate researchers at Geneseo and other COPLAC schools could benefit from a pilot program examing the potential of distance mentoring.
GENESEO, N.Y. - SUNY Geneseo's flourishing undergraduate research programs could benefit from a Teagle Foundation grant awarded recently to the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges (COPLAC).
Geneseo is one of 11 COPLAC member institutions involved in the design and implementation of a two-year pilot project funded through the $150,000 grant to explore how faculty members can share their expertise across COPLAC institutions via distance mentoring of undergraduate researchers. Distance mentoring is academic guidance and collaboration arranged primarily through electronic tools such as email, online meeting software, etc.
"A strong distance-mentoring program through COPLAC could leverage the academic strength of the entire consortium to offer our students a range of faculty expertise more commonly associated with a large research university," said Geneseo Provost Carol Long. "Among other things, the project will compare such mentoring with traditional face-to-face mentoring and examine the technical challenges and costs involved. We're pleased to be involved with the project and look forward to the results."
With 26 campuses and more than 4,500 full-time faculty members consortium-wide, distance mentoring through COPLAC has the potential of opening up multiple areas of disciplinary expertise. The project also will enable COPLAC to explore new ways of employing distance learning methods to define credit-bearing courses and to support a variety of additional faculty initiatives.

CONCORD, N.H. (February 6, 2013)--A blizzard that was heading to New England Wednesday could produce as much as 2 feet of snow and could make travel nearly impossible in a region that has seen mostly bare ground this winter.
The National Weather Service said the heaviest snowfall will be Friday night into Saturday.
A blizzard watch was issued for parts of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and forecasters say travel could be treacherous because of blowing snow and snow drifts.
The storm comes just after the 35th anniversary of the historic blizzard of 1978, which paralyzed the region, producing more than 2 feet of snow and hurricane force winds.
A weather service official said Wednesday it's too early to tell if the storm will be one for the record books, but it has the potential for being dangerous.

As far as I know and have understood in my experience with Qt, it's a very good and easy to learn library. It has a very well designed API and is cross-platform, and these are just two of the many features that make it attractive. I'm interested to know why more programmers don't use Qt. Is there a deficiency which speaks against it? Which feature makes other libraries better than Qt? Is the issue related to licensing?

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I don't really intend this to be a bashing answer, but these are the reasons I do not personally use Qt. There are plenty of good things to say about it -- namely that the API works most of the time, and that it does seamlessly bridge platforms. But I do not use Qt, because:
As people say, each tool fits to each problem and situation...
But if you're C++ programmer, Qt is your framework. No rival.
We develop a complex medical imaging commercial application, and Qt holds on.
I don't say that the 'cons' that people say about it are false, but I have the feeling that they don't have tried Qt for a long time (its continously improving on each new version...) And, mostly all of the issues they comment are not a problem if you take care.
UI platform inconsistency: only if you use the UI widgets 'as they are', with no customization or custom art.
Qt preprocessor overload: Only if you abuse of signal-slot mechanism, or QObject inheritance, when there is no really need.
By the way, We still write applications in C#.NET, and been doing it for a long time. So I think I have enouch perspective.
As I said, each tool for each situation,
but Qt is with no doubt a consistent and useful framework.
Of all the things I don't like about Qt, the fact that it doesn't play well with templates bugs me the most. You can't do this:
It also doesn't play well with the preprocessor. You can't do this:
That, mixed with the fact that everything that responds to a signal has to be a Q_OBJECT, makes Qt hard to work in for a C++ programmer. People used to Java or Python style programming probably fair better actually.
I actually spent a lot of time and effort researching and devising a way to gain type safety back and connect a Qt signal to any functor object: http://crazyeddiecpp.blogspot.com/2011/01/quest-for-sane-signals-in-qt-step-1.html
The kind of thing I want to do there is basic, everyday C++ development made next to impossible by the Qt moc...which itself is entirely unnecessary now days, if it ever actually was.
Frankly though, I'm stuck with it because if you want to do automated UI testing, Qt is pretty much the only game in town short of MFC...which is so 1980 (it sucks working in that shit really hard). Some might say WX but it's got even more serious problems. GTKmm would have been my first choice but since it's all owner drawn and doesn't do accessibility...can't be driven by industry standard testing software. Qt is hard enough in that regard (barely works when you modify the accessibility plugin).
Some of it is licensing. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_(framework)#Licensing for some of the licensing history. Until 2000, people who cared strongly about open source, did not use Qt. Period. (This was, in fact, the original motivation for the development of Gnome.) Until 2005, people who wanted to be able to release free software for Windows did not use Qt. Even after that date people who wanted free software under something other than the GPL, simply did not have the option of using Qt. Thus any free software project that is older than those dates, couldn't use Qt. And, of course, people writing proprietary code had to pay for the privilege.
Furthermore it is not as it there is a shortage of other options. For instance WxWidgets, GTK+, and Tk are all open source, cross-platform toolkits.
Furthermore for a long time Windows was so dominant on the desktop that a lot of software was content to only run on Windows. If you install the Microsoft toolchain, it is easier just to use Microsoft's proprietary stuff than it is to worry about anything else, and a lot of programmers did just that.
One reason to not use Qt is that if you only write for one architecture, such as Windows, you may want to use C#/.NET (or Cocoa on Mac) because they will invariably be able to take advantage of the latest bells-and-whistles of the OS.
If you are writing cross-platform apps, then you may already be heavily vested in another technology such as Java (i.e. you work in a "Java Shop"). Your choice of technology might be dictated by the ecosystem in which you are developing, such as language-specific APIs. In these sorts of cases, minimizing the number of technologies may be beneficial.
A third reason that I can think of is that Qt is based around C++, and C++ is a comparatively difficult/dangerous language to program in. I think it is a language for professionals. If you need to have top performance and are capable of being meticulous, then C++ is probably still the best game in town. Actually, Qt ameliorates a lot of the memory management problems if you set things up to fall out of scope. Also, Qt itself does a good job insulating the user from a lot of the nasty C++ issues. Every language and framework has its pros and cons. It is a very, very complicated issue that usually can be summarized by the addage often seen in diners: Speed, Quality, and Price (but you can only pick two).
Although the rules say I should keep focused on answering the question, I do want to rebut some of the issues raised by Billy ONeal, who I think does a good job summarizing the commonly cited reasons to not use Qt:
In summary, it's a complicated issue. But I would like to point out that I think there are less reasons to "not use Qt" as one might think based on myths and decade-out-of-date information.
I agree with nearly all of the reasons discussed above however a lot of people here have said they wouldn't use Qt because of the extra overhead that it brings with it. I disagree with that because all the most common languages today (Java, C# and Python) carry a fair bit of overhead themselves.
Secondly, Qt makes programming with C++ so easy and straight-forward that it makes up for the extra resources it uses. I've come across quite a few console applications written in Qt rather than standard C++ because of the ease in which they can be written.
I would say that the productivity of Qt is greater than that of C/C++ but less than languages like Python.
The reason is simple: it does not have good bindings to all mainstream languages, and it is not magically always appropriate for the job at hand.
Use the right tool for the job. If I'm writing a simple command-line application, why would I bloat that up with Qt just for the sake of it?
As a more general answer (which I can give because I'm relevant here), some programmers will simply never have given it a go and decided to use it. In some cases there is no particular reason other than the programmer has never found a need for it and looked into it.
I agree that Qt is a nice framework to work with. Still, there are a number of issues I have with it:
That said, I love using PyQt for rapid application prototyping or in-house applications. Using Python to do all the coding alleviates the concerns with C++ and actually makes Qt a very pleasant place.
Edit, in response to some comments:
When I wrote about Qt being written in C++, I was not so much complaining about Qt itself, but more about the environment it lives in. It is true that Qt manages its own resources very well, but all your GUI-related-but-not-Qt code has to be written in C++, too. Even there, Qt provides many nice tools, but ultimately, you have to deal with C++ at that level. Qt makes C++ bearable, but it is still C++.
As for introspection, what I mean is this: The hardest cases to debug are when you have a pointer to some object that does not behave the way you think it should. With C++, your debugger might be able to look inside that object a bit (if it happens to have type information at thwt point), but even that does not always work. Take, on the other hand, Cocoa in the same situation. In Cocoa/Obj-C, you would be able to send messages ('call functions') to an object right within the debugger. You can change the objects state, you can query it for its attributes, you can ask it for its type and its function names... This can make debugging a lot more convenient. Qt/C++ has nothing even close to that.
This genuinely isn't an attempt to start a flame war, I just wanted to address some of the points.
Probably the real reason that Qt isn't more widely used is that it's C++ and fewer people use c++ for desktop apps.
The vs-addin for visual studio does this automatically as does Qt's own commandline make process. The resource compiler used to build the dialogs for MFC is also a separate step but that's still c++.
There is a binary download for each version of visual studio and the build from source is a single command. I don't see SDK source size is so much of a deal these days. Visual studio now installs all the C++ libs rather than letting you pick and choose, as a result the install size of the compiler is >1Gb.
The LGPL only applies to the lib, it doesn't affect your code. Yes it means you have to ship DLLs rather than a single binary (unless you pay), but in a world where you need to download a Java runtime or a .Net update for a tiny util this isn't such a big deal. It's also less of a problem on platforms with a single ABI so that other Qt apps can share the libs.
It's supposed to use native widgets and themes. I must admit I do mostly technical apps so my users aren't too concerned about style. Especially on windows the new fashion for having everything style itself as a smartphone widget means that there is less and less of a standard anyway.
Frameworks like Qt are appropriate when you're more concerned with your product looking the same on all platforms than with your product looking right on all platforms. More and more often these days, those kinds of applications are moving to web-based technologies.
The most important but not mentioned thing. In big project one thing causes so much problems and non necessary code. Qt's signal slot mechanisms is inefficient. Qt widgets does not provide necessary signals for event simple widgets. For example you can not set signals for onHover, onMouseEnter, onMouseLeave, onKeyReleased, onLostFocus, onGainFocus and etc. Even the most complex widget such as QTreeWidget does provide one or two ultra simple useless signals.
Yes, you can use events BUT !!! you have create new class for each widget with custom event. This is huge efficiency lost;
One of my college has wrote made new combo box class for each combo box widget because he had to use some non signal event. True story...
However, Qt is the best C++ UI framework so far with downs and ups.
I really like Qt, but it's a bit heavyweight for a lot of applications. Sometimes you just don't need that level of complexity. Sometimes you just need something simple without all the overhead of Qt. Not every application needs to be event driven and C++ provides a reasonable set of templates. Boost provides another very good set and includes a lot of the low-level functionality (file, socket, managed pointers, etc) that QT does.
Other applications have licensing requirements that don't play nice with GPL, LGPL or Qt's commercial license. The GPL is inappropriate for commercial software. The LGPL is inappropriate for statically linked software and the commercial license costs money - something that many are unwilling to pay.
Some have security or stability considerations that don't allow complex libraries like Qt.
You need to run moc to pre-process your sources. That's not a huge issue, but it can be daunting for the new user. A lot of programmers think you need to use qmake with Qt, but that's a misnomer. It is possible to plug Qt into other build systems pretty easily.
Some targets are very memory or CPU constrained.
There some platform-specific gotchas in it. Most of those gotchas are undocumented. Build a sufficiently large application and you will run into them and wonder what's going on (disclaimer, the last time I used Qt in anger was over 18 months ago, so it may have improved).
It's C++ only. Other language bindings exist, but they tend to hide or poorly expose a lot of the functionality that you'd want Qt for.
There's a lot of reasons to not use Qt, that's why there are alternatives. If all you have is a hammer then every problem will look like a nail.
on my own opinion, learning C++ programming is simpler than falling into other languages that hide their complexity, and programmer does not know what really happens in background. Qt on the other hand, adds some benefits over C++, to make it higher level than native C++. Thus Qt C++ is a great framework for who wants to develop low-level tasks, or high-level ones, with a same manner. C++ is (by some practices) a complex and simple language. Complex for who wants not to challenge with it, simple for one who likes it. Don't leave it for it's complexity!
The actual reason is not technical.
People happen to be different. So are their choices. Uniformity is not a human feature.

So I have a pretty good PC. I'm getting a smooth 60 FPS in most places, at highest settings, and I have the FPS setting in Options set to cap at 60.
However, the game is frequently setting the FPS cap to 30 (as verified by my FRAPS readout in the corner of my screen). It's not so much that I'm entering an area my computer can't handle (though that may provide some input for the problem), but that the game is simply taking my framecap from 60, down to 30. Sometimes it goes back up. It seems to be largely irregular.
I don't have any resource-intensive programs running in the background. What's going on here?
EDIT: Setting all of my video settings down to Low (I typically run at highest) has no effect. I still get frequent slowdowns to a smooth 30 FPS.


text: Hi all, As you have read in previous posts in this list there seems to be a problem with the memory requirements of swish-e 2.X when it is indexing. As I posted, the main problem is storing word info in memory prior to write it to disk. For example, let us say that we have 10000 files with 100 words in each file. If each word is just once in each file (the worst case) we will need 6 integers per word: - One for the file number (4 bytes) - One for the metaName (4 bytes) - One for the structure (4 bytes) - One for the rank (4 bytes) - One for the frequency (4 bytes) - One for the position (4 bytes) We also need 4 bytes for a pointer to the next occurence. So, total bytes: 28. This does not include the word itself and other info. Thus, we need: 10000 * 100 * 30 = 28000000 (28 Meg). All this info is compressed when writing to the index file This does not include the info for the files, properties, etc.. that can also be big. So, if your index proccess takes a long time, check if your box is paging. It is possible to find solutions to this issue. Eg: - Compress the data in memory - Normaly, metaName only needs one byte - file number normally requires two bytes - structure fits just one byte - frequency an position nomally need one byte each - Write to a temporal file all this info. Once it has been extracted from the files, it is not longer needed until it is written to disk. (Any other idea is welcome) Of course, both options can be a penalty in performance. (perhaps a flag to activate this option can be included) Is this really rquired? Memory is cheap everyday... I would like to hear from all of you. BTW, I will be on vacation from Sept 1 to Sept 15 (no mail, no computer). cu JoseReceived on Wed Aug 30 19:12:05 2000

Durango Herald file photo
The Fort Lewis College men�s soccer team will start 2012 where it ended 2011: No. 1.
The reigning national champions received the typical preseason honored bestowed on the previous year�s victors Tuesday when the National Soccer Coaches Association of America/Continental Tire preseason rankings were released.
The Skyhawks started the season the same way in 2010 after winning the 2009 national title. That year, FLC finished 11-5-4 and missed the NCAA Tournament, so head coach Oige Kennedy is taking nothing for granted this time around.
�Obviously it is always an honor to be ranked No. 1 in the nation at any point of the season, but we are all aware it�s where you�re ranked in December that counts,� Kennedy said in a news release to The Durango Herald. �If you want to be hoisting a national trophy over your head then, you need to be the hardest-working team in the nation right now.�
Lynn, Franklin Pierce, Millersville and Flagler rounded out the top five. No other Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference teams were among those ranked, although Metro State did receive votes.
On the women�s side, the Skyhawks will enter the 2012 campaign ranked No. 10 nationally. Defending champ Saint Rose, Grand Valley State, Armstrong Atlantic State, Chico State and Colorado Mines make up the top five.
Fort Lewis went 15-3-4 last season before bowing out to RMAC rival Colorado Mines in the NCAA Sweet 16.
All Fort Lewis teams will compete in a different region this year. The RMAC was moved from the Central Region to the South Central Region in a shift prompted by the NCAA, and the conference will join members of the Heartland and Lone Star Conferences, which have members in Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and New Mexico.
On the women�s side, FLC joins regional foes Mines, Abilene Christian (No. 7), Dallas Baptist (15) and Central Oklahoma (16) in the rankings. In the men�s poll, Incarnate Word (10), which will meet FLC on Aug. 31 in Boulder, and Midwestern State (14) also were ranked from the region.
�It�s obvious that not only the conference, but the region is getting a lot of attention,� head coach Damian Clarke said in a news release. �It�s an honor and a privilege to have the kind of pressure that we do.�
The Fort Lewis men will host two preseason exhibitions. The Skyhawks will meet Otero Junior College on Aug. 19 at a time to be determined, and they�ll hold their annual alumni game at 3:30 p.m. on Aug. 25. The women will host their alumni game at 1 p.m. on Aug. 25.

1950 Chevy Panel Truck Shreds DrivebeltsWritten by Marlan Davis on February 22, 2013 Contributors: Joe Kiser, Scott Burton Hot Rod to the Rescue
The Combo
Jimmie Burton has owned his '50 Chevy panel truck for 10 years. It was one of those slow projects, and Burton didn't get it finished and on the road until 2010. Intended as a daily cruiser, its propulsion comes from a mild '75 Chevy 350 small-block backed by a TH400 automatic trans and a 3.08:1-geared 10-bolt rearend. The truck sports a '69 Camaro (first-gen GM F-car) front suspension clip.
The Problem
From day one, Burton had problems with the 350 engine's V-belt accessory-drive system. "It just kept eating up the belts," reports Burton. "The pulleys didn't line up. There were pieces of shredded rubber everywhere. There was a squeaking sound. At first I just drove it, then I got so disgusted I parked it." Several shops tried to fix the belts and pulleys, but Burton says "none of them could solve the problem. They just screwed me big-time." It was time to get the truck over to someone who actually cared—namely, Joe Kiser, owner of Joe's Garage in nearby Winston-Salem (and also HOT ROD staffer Jesse Kiser's pop).
The Diagnosis
Besides misalignment problems, Kiser determined that some of the V-belts driven by different accessories were trying to turn those pulleys with multiple grooves at different speeds, leading to binding, squeaking, and accelerated belt wear. This is a common problem today on legacy engines with beltdrive systems cobbled together from a variety of sources. Possible solutions include installing a pricey aftermarket custom drive system, using a matched set of V-belt pulleys off a pristine wrecking-yard engine, or moving up to a modern serpentine beltdrive system. Kiser decided to go with the serpentine option, which offers superior reliability and belt retention.
The Fix
Figuring, "let's not break the bank," Kiser sought out a relatively affordable production-based small-block Chevy serpentine system that would easily adapt to the Chevy panel truck. Chevrolet Performance Parts offers production-based serpentine-drive systems in kit form under a single part number, but they're based on car and truck designs with low hoodlines and wide engine compartments. Unfortunately, these kits don't adapt well to older, street rod–style vehicles like Burton's truck that have narrow engine bays with more vertical than horizontal clearance.
After scouring the local wrecking yard, Kiser found what he needed: a complete system from a small-block Chevy–powered '90 G20 van. "It was the most compact unit in the wrecking yard I could find," Joe says. Unlike other GM small-block Chevy serpentine systems, "both the alternator and air conditioning (A/C) compressor fit within the width of the heads and engine. It's a very tight system. It should work even on a '32 Ford with the hood closed."
The same or similar compact drive systems were used on 305/350ci (5.0L/5.7L) small-block V8 and 262ci (4.3L) V6-90 engines installed in '87–'91 fullsize G-vans, '87–'89 Astro M-minivans, and '88–'89 C/K fullsize pickups. Many variations exist, including an alternator-only drive system. One caution: Some of the rear support braces on 4.3L V6 engines won't fit a V8.
The downside when moving from V-belts to a production-based serpentine system is that most legacy V-belt accessories—including the alternator, power-steering (P/S) pump, and A/C compressor—won't fit the serpentine brackets. That means besides grabbing all the brackets, the pulleys, the tensioner, and the drivebelt, you'll need to get all the late-model accessories. You'll also want to snatch the four-prong CS-series alternator electrical connector and about a foot of its wire harness for splicing into the old wiring harness.
A reverse-rotation water pump designed for the serpentine drives is mandatory; it appears similar to a standard-rotation pump but has internal passages and an impeller designed for counterclockwise operation (as viewed from the front, looking toward the rear). Kiser recommends a new or remanufactured water pump, as the long-term reliability of a salvage yard pump that's been lying dormant for an indeterminate time is, in his opinion, questionable.
If you want new parts, they must be purchased individually from a friendly GM parts department (such as Elway Chevrolet, which ships nationwide) or an ACDelco dealer (like RockAuto). Unfortunately, some of the smaller rear support accessory brackets are no longer available new, so a good wrecking yard is the only source (if you're handy, you could fab custom rear supports out of bendable flat stock and/or thick-wall tubing and rod ends).
So how much lighter does your wallet end up? Going with all new parts (if available) costs at least $1,000. At that point, get an aftermarket setup from March Performance or Billet Specialites. If you're on a tight budget, grabbing most of the parts out of a friendly wrecking yard like Pull-A-Part and using new parts only as necessary or recommended to finish the job is very affordable, coming in just over $300.
The last hurdle is integrating the late accessories into the vehicle's existing plumbing and wiring, as well as overcoming some inevitable minor mounting glitches. As shown in the accompanying photos, on Burton's truck these included:
- Repairing a cracked main accessory drive support plate
- Modifying support brackets as needed to mate with Burton's earlier cylinder heads, the Edelbrock Performer intake manifold, and aftermarket headers
- Wiring up the serpentine system's CS-series GM alternator
- Integrating the serpentine system's P/S pump with the existing hoses and fittings
- Integrating the serpentine system's A/C compressor with the existing hoses and fittings
- Installing new heater-return hose to water-pump fittings at the water pump
- Replacing lower radiator to water pump hose damaged by the V-belts
No more noisy and frayed belts! Burton has a reliable system that should last 50,000-plus miles before even the belt needs replacement. Plus, the late-model alternator puts out more amps at low rpm and will keep all those power-hungry accessories happy. Burton proclaims, "Joe [Kiser] knows his stuff and takes pride in what he does. He wants to do it right! You don't find many people like that in this day and time."
Lessons Learned
Drivebelt problems can often be traced to a mismatched drive-pulley system. Be sure all the pulleys come from the same stock application if using production-based parts. When upgrading to a serpentine system, expect to do some wiring and plumbing changes. Some bracket mods may also be needed. Carefully inspect parts for damage and defects.

Jimmie Burton tried to turn his '50 Chevy panel truck into a daily driver but had trouble with his old V-belt drives.The Pfafftown, North Carolina–based truck has been in Jimmie's possession for 10 years. It's powered by a warmed-over 350 small-block.Not grease: The black stuff deposited on the water pump and engine is actually rubber debris from shredding V-belts.Joe Kiser at Joe's Garage diagnosed mismatched and misaligned V-belt pulleys trying to turn at different speeds.Since a matched set of drives was needed anyway, Kiser decided to swap in a complete serpentine-drive system with all accessories.With the belts and pulleys no longer "driving" Burton crazy, the truck is now a reliable daily driver. Game, set, and "match."...the pitfalls of used, unmatched, drive setups: weird-diameter pulley grooves, cocked pulleys and drives, bad belt routing, and fragged belts.
01] If you're a street rodder casting about for an affordable serpentine-drive setup for a classic small-block Chevy, look for '87–'91 GM vans with a small-block or V6-90. The compact system shown on these pages came from this 350-powered '90 Chevy G20.02] Over the years, different-thickness harmonic dampers have been used. Fortunately, the van's OE balancer and Burton's degree'd aftermarket unit were equally thick, their front surfaces both extending 2� Inches forward from the block's old lower front engine-mount hole bosses. This permitted Burton to retain his existing damper.03] Both U.S. and ISO (metric) fasteners are used—be sure to grab all of them! The threads may appear similar, but will cross-thread if mixed up. U.S. bolts have lines on the head; ISO bolts have numbers. The general rule is that fasteners that thread into a "legacy" engine like a small-block Chevy are still U.S.; those that thread into a late accessory or bracket are ISO. ISO Property Class 9.8 is roughly equivalent in strength to a U.S. SAE Grade 5 bolt (Grade 5 bolts have three lines on the bolt head).04] The new system is based off a big plate (PN 14102081) that mounts (as needed) the alternator, A/C compressor, P/S pump, and smog pump. To use it, your heads must have front-accessory boltholes —three on the driver-side and at least one on the passenger-side. Be sure to chase all the accessory-bolt threads in the engine before installation, especially those that weren't used on the old system.05] While tight, the smog-pump mounting area still clears the mechanical fuel pump (although the pump itself may not clear). Use a short bolt in hole A so the fuel-pump pushrod won't bind. Also, use thread sealant on the bolt to keep the hollow hole from leaking oil. This head lacked the inboard hole needed to mate with one of the bracket's mounting bosses (B). GM sources say it isn't a deal-breaker, as long as the outboard hole (C) is still present.06] Glass-beading the stamped-steel plate for repainting revealed an undetected crack that Kiser welded shut (A). That's another good reason to always strip used parts! For better appearance, the unused smog-pump mount was cut off (B). Even though the extra bolt isn't mandatory, Kiser cut � inch off the reverse-side of the plate's indicated bolt boss to provide clearance for a custom-made bracket (C).07] To substitute for the head's missing hole, Kiser bent a piece of 3/8-inch-thick mild-steel plate 90 degrees, then drilled two 3⁄8-inch holes in it: one attaches the custom bracket to the front passenger-side intake manifold bolthole; the other end accepts a long, 3⁄8-inch bolt that retains both the plate and one of the A/C compressor's mounting brackets.08] Here, you can see the plate bolted to the engine and heads, ready to receive the accessories and additional braces. The P/S pump (lower right) and crank pulley are already in place. Although the water pump appears at first glance to be a typical long-nose pump, to properly work with the serpentine-drive, its inner workings are designed for reverse rotation. It's probably best to get a new or remanufactured pump from the parts store or reputable aftermarket manufacturer.
01] The truck's import A/C compressor was replaced by the GM R4 radial compressor designed for the drive system. The serpentine-belt tensioner (PN 10229114) is further supported by the stock rear brace (PN 10054899, arrow) that bolted directly to the Edelbrock intake's thermostat housing.02] On the van , the A/C compressor rear brace (PN 10054893, arrow) bolts to an extra vertical boss cast into the late TBI intake. This boss isn't present on Burton's intake. Kiser shortened the brace so it would connect to a carb-mounting stud on the Edelbrock Performer. No other A/C bracket mods were needed.03] Vintage Air's adapter block kit (PN 341080, A) and its 90-degree fitting (PN 366101, B) connect the truck's existing A/C hoses to the GM compressor. The high-side outlet hose (left) goes to the condenser; the low-side inlet hose (right) comes from the evaporator. The plastic connector body from the old alternator fit the new R4 compressor's electrical terminals.05] Burton's headers required Kiser to make a 1 1/2- Inch spacer (A) to help support the P/S pump's rear bracket (PN 10045287, B). The top of the black brace (PN 10085726, C) attaches to the back of the alternator.06] At least two braces attach to the rear of the CS-series alternator: the one from the headers (A) and a "rear alternator brace" (PN 10085728, B) that runs to a vertical intake manifold bolt boss (C).07] Kiser added a 1/4-inch spacer on the boss to get the height right (photo 7, pointer). GM drawings call out a third brace (PN 10085727) that hooks to a front intake bolt, but the donor van didn't have one.08] The new P/S pump's canister-style integral reservoir is intended to work with the van's remote reservoir (PN 15590745) that also bolts to the back of the alternator (boy, that alternator bolthole's pretty busy). Kiser says the P/S brackets have enough clearance to bolt on a standard direct-fill reservoir if desired.09] CS-series alternators may be factory-wired several ways, but here's how to wire one into your hot rod. The large BAT stud is for direct battery power. The four small terminals accept the CS-style sealed connector plug. They are marked left-to-right either "P-L-F-S" or "P-L-I-S." Use Terminal L to excite (turn on) the unit by running a wire to it from a fused ignition source with an added inline resistor. Only if your take-off CS had a wire at Terminal S, loop it back to the BAT stud or to a main power-distribution node. Discard any other stock wires.10] The wire to Terminal L from an existing ignition-fused 12-volt source requires at least 35-ohms resistance or the alternator will fail. Kiser soldered in a 10-Watt, 47-ohm resistor, covering it with protective heat-shrink tubing. A dash-mounted idiot light can also provide the necessary resistance.
11] The resistor is supported by an existing factory clip on the rear of the large accessory-mounting plate. Kiser also repaired a previously blown fuse in this circuit that kept the old alternator from charging.12] The old water pump's straight heater return-hose fitting hit the new plate, but there's no room for a single, all-in-one 90-degree elbow, either. Separate adapters solved the problem: a �-NPT straight male-female bushing at the water pump (A), a �-NPT male-female 90-degree elbow (B), and a straight male �-NPT–�-inch male hose nipple (C).

Obama's Health Care Myths: Four Republican Ideas and One Outright Lie
President Barack Obama maintained in his speech his intention to reach out across party lines, a token effort to make his health care legislation more bipartisan before ramming it through reconciliation, by adding four ideas. A closer look at the actual details of these ideas, however, shows that the White House has done very little – and while it would be nice to say otherwise, the reality is that what President Obama is offering to Republicans is not an olive branch, but a rather insulting joke. And in the case of one additional topic, both he and Speaker Nancy Pelosi continue to repeat a clear and verifiable falsehood.
Here's what President Obama wrote in his letter:
1. Undercover waste/fraud/abuse investigations: "Senator Coburn had an interesting suggestion that we engage medical professionals to conduct random undercover investigations of health care providers that receive reimbursements from Medicare, Medicaid, and other Federal programs."
2. Additional grants to states for tort reform: "I am open to including an appropriation of $50 million in my proposal for additional grants. Currently there is only an authorization, which does not guarantee that the grants."
3. Increasing Medicaid reimbursement rates: "At the meeting, Senator Grassley raised a concern, shared by many Democrats, that Medicaid reimbursements to doctors are inadequate in many states…I'm open to exploring ways to address this issue in a fiscally responsible manner."
4. Strengthen high deductible provisions: "I believe that high-deductible health plans could be offered in the exchange under my proposal, and I'm open to including language to ensure that is clear."

I have numerous zip archives, each of which contains a number of zip archives. What is the best way to recursively extract all files contained within this zip archive and its child zip archives, that aren't zip archives themselves?
This will extract all the zip files into the current directory, excluding any zipfiles contained within them.
Although this extracts the contents to the current directory, not all files will end up strictly in this directory since the contents may include subdirectories.
If you actually wanted all the files strictly in the current directory, you can run
Note: this will clobber files if there are two with the same name in different directories.
If you want to recursively extract all the zip files and the zips contained within, the following extracts all the zip files in the current directory and all the zips contained within them to the current directory.
As far as I understand, you have zip archives that themselves contain zip archives, and you would like to unzip nested zips whenever one is extracted.
Here's a bash 4 script that unzips all zips in the current directory and its subdirectories recursively, removes each zip file after it has been unzipped, and keeps going as long as there are zip files. A zip file in a subdirectory is extracted relative to that subdirectory. Warning: untested, make a backup of the original files before trying it out or replace
The script will also work in zsh if you replace the
Here's a portable equivalent. The termination condition is a little complicated because
The easiest way is to use atool: http://www.nongnu.org/atool/ It is a very good script that use zip, unzip, tar, rar etc. programs to extract any archive.
This perl script will extract each .zip file into its own subdirectory. Run the script more than once to handle nested zip files. It does not delete .zip files after extraction but you could make that change by adding an unlink() call.
You'll want to be careful automatically unzipping zip files inside of zip files:
It's possible to concoct a zip file that produces a zip file as output, which produces a zip file as output, etc etc etc. That is, you can make a zip file that's a fixed oint of "unzip" the program.
Also, I seem to recall people making zip files that would "explode", that is a very small zip file would unzip to multi-gigabytes of output. This is a facet of the method of compression.
Maybe this will help (worked for me):

Types of Delivery
In This Article:
Anesthetics during childbirth
Baby Talk
A forceps delivery is one that uses an obstetrical instrument that resembles a pair of tongs to gently grab hold of and pull the infant's head out of the birth canal.
Daddy Alert!
If your partner delivers your baby under general anesthesia it is unlikely that you will be allowed in the delivery room. Find out in advance so you know what to expect if this happens.
Drugs that produce a loss of sensation are called anesthetics. These medications interrupt the pathway of nerves that carry sensations of pain to the brain. In effect they "block" pain messages and are commonly called "nerve blocks." During delivery your doctor can choose a nerve block that will completely numb you from the waist down or one that numbs a smaller vaginal area.
The most frequently used blocks are the epidural, pudendal, spinal, and caudal. Let's look at each in turn:
- The epidural block affects only the sensory nerves to numb you from the waist down, leaving you with full muscle movement. It can be given before the cervix is fully dilated and it provides excellent anesthesia during the entire active phase of labor, vaginal delivery, forceps delivery, or cesarean delivery. The medication is administered by inserting a long, fine needle into the space between the vertebrae of the lower back. A small plastic tube is threaded and left in the space right before the spinal cord. With the tube in place, medication can be administered throughout labor as needed. Initially, it can take up to 30 minutes to feel the effect. The epidural is rapidly becoming the most widely used type of nerve block for relief of pain during labor.
- The pudendal block is administered through a needle inserted in the vaginal area. The numbness is localized and reduces pain in that area, but does not reduce the pain caused by uterine contractions. The pudendal block is frequently combined with a tranquilizer for added pain relief.
- A spinal block is administered at the end of labor, immediately before delivery. A full spinal block affects the sensory and motor nerves; it instantly numbs the body from the waist down and causes loss of voluntary leg movement and the inability to use abdominal muscles. It is usually used for cesarean deliveries. Because the spinal blocks feeling in the part of your body that comes in contact with a saddle, if you were riding a horse, it has become known as a "saddle block." It is often used for forceps-assisted delivery. Because the saddle block interferes with the normal movement of the baby's head into the birth canal, a saddle block is not usually administered until the cervix is completely dilated and the baby's head is deep in the pelvis. The spinal block is administered by inserting a long, fine needle into a space between the vertebra of the lower back.
- A caudal block was once a very popular method of delivering pain relief during labor and delivery. Today, it is less popular than the epidural for a number of reasons. The caudal does not cover as wide an area as the epidural. It requires a larger dosage, and it is difficult to administer correctly. In addition, the increased pelvic and abdominal muscle relaxation produced by this technique might slow the progress of the second stage of labor. Like the spinal block, the caudal block is administered by inserting a long, fine needle into a space between the vertebra of the lower back.

Ignacio resident Clayborn Wayne Scott Sr. died Monday, May 7, 2012, at his home. The cause of death was homicide. He was 55.
Known as Slick, Mr. Scott Sr. was born Aug. 31, 1956, at Mercy Hospital in Durango and was adopted by Walter M. and Anna Marie Scott. He was raised in Ignacio and graduated from Ignacio High School in the early 1970s.
During the mid-1970s, Mr. Scott Sr. married Derise Lammon and the couple had a son, Matthew Scott. The marriage ended in divorce. He later had his second son, Clayborn Scott Jr., with his partner Christina Moore. The couple later separated. In the mid-1990s he married Tammy Perambo-Scott and the marriage resulted in his third son, Randy Scott. Ms. Perambo-Scott preceded Mr. Scott Sr. in death.
On Jan. 2, 2006, Mr. Scott Sr. married Rose Silva.
Later the same year, on Nov. 19, he suffered a brain injury in a serious motorcycle accident.
Mr. Scott Sr. was an enrolled member of the Southern Ute Indian Tribe.
�He enjoyed life and all its changes, was quick to smile and joke and always knew how to have a good time,� his family said.
�Clayborn loved to raise heck,� they said. �He was always in some kind of trouble, but that�s what made him Slick. He was kind and loving and had a big heart, strong back and lots of guts. He wouldn�t back down from anything if he believed it was the right thing to do.�
Mr. Scott Sr. was preceded in death by his second wife, Tammy Perambo-Scott.
He is survived by his wife, Rose Silva, of Ignacio; mother, Anna Marie Scott, of Ignacio; sisters Roberta Scott, Dora Howe and Josephine Hight, all of Ignacio; brother, Daniel Weaver, of Ignacio; sons Matthew Scott of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Clayborn Scott Jr. and Randy Scott, both of Ignacio; and ex-wife Derise Lammon of Maryland.
A celebration of life will be held at 10 a.m. Tuesday, May 15, 2012, at St. Ignatius Catholic Church with a meal immediately after at the Ignacio multi-purpose center.

TEAMWORK IN any undertaking is a valuable ingredient. That recently played out again in Harrison County....
Likely will be a moot point after this administration and the EPA get done with stricter regulations. Each of us will have a solar panel and Wind mill on our property. May be a little chilly in the winter !!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Four 18-oz. soup / cereal bowls
*Four 11-oz. stoneware mugs
*Lightweight, thin and stackable
*Microwave, oven and dishwasher-safe
*Fade, scratch and chip-resistant
7 Comments add a comment
It is interesting they call these plates. They are just red dinner rings to ensnare your food.
what an odd design, not tempting...
It definitely looks better in the black version of this design or with a completely different design (at least to me). But I have learned that everyone has different tastes and hopefully, someone might like this design.
If this design doesn't appeal, there are quite a few more patterns for just under 30. I bought all my Corelle for 50 per set, so it's still a good deal. And these plates are GREAT. You have to be practically trying break one to do it! I have a klutz of a husband, 3 silly cats, and friends in and out like my place was a frathouse. I have not had a broken plate in 7 years. And even if I did, they are very easy to replace. Corelle takes a beating day to day and still look like nice lightweight pretty plates for holidays. I love mine and recommend them to anyone.
@theoneill555: yeah the black looks better IMO. good deal either way, thanks for posting!
That last zombie apocalypse cut me short on records and other random junk around the house..I guess I'll have to stock up on these instead...
These would give me OCD fits if I had them. I wouldn't be able to use them without the plate turned so the lines are perfectly horizontal or vertical... /c:

If I want to learn TDD on my own, where would I start apart from the usual Google Search?
Are there any books that you would recommend or any method that you followed to learn it on your own?
I am a C# Developer if in case that made a difference.
closed as off-topic by gnat, MichaelT, GlenH7, Yusubov, Dan Pichelman Aug 26 '13 at 17:55
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
It uses Java and Python, but a good book to learn TDD from is Test Driven Development: By Example.
Have a look at The Art Of Unit Testing. It has a lot of examples in .NET, but using Rhino Mocks rather than Moq, which I prefer.
It covers TDD and Unit-Testing in general very well.
Microsoft also has a book: Test Driven Development in .NET (Microsoft Professional), but I have yet to read it.
All of the previous answers are great starting points, but to be honest you should start trying to do TDD. To start with accept that any tests are better than no tests and slowly you should start see patterns in your own development. Things that work really well, things that are harder to test and resistant to change. When you encounter the later take a step back and see what is different / impedes the change. Slowly you should feel things changing. For me, the "hump point" was realising that when I did TDD properly I could got to lunch or even go home for the weekend and when I got back, know exactly where I was at. The measureable metric was that I felt so much more relaxed. To answer some of the critics of TDD, it does take a measure-able more amount of time up front, but if you expect your system to last then you should see pay back in the long term.
Since you're asking about c#, Pragmatic Unit Testing in C# with NUnit Might be a good choice. I have not read the others though so I cannot compare.
One thing I dislike is that it uses NUnit Mocks. I much prefer Moq personally. That's a nitpick though, it's not about the language or framework, it's about the practice and process.
Find a coding dojo which uses TDD as part of the exercise. Alternately, start one :) or you can start trying out the katas with TDD yourself.
Else, find somebody who has been using TDD a lot and ask him what his/her workflow is. I have found having someone talk and discuss ideas with you is very important when you are trying out a new process.

5 Unexpected Downsides of High Intelligence
#3. You're More Likely to Lie
The problem with being the smartest guy in the room is that you usually know you're the smartest guy in the room. For some people, that's not a big deal. They can relate to others just fine and know how to navigate around everyone else's deficiencies without being complete pricks. Others, however, know they have an intellectual edge and can't help but abuse it.
So What's the Problem?
In addition to giving you an advantage in brainpower, IQ apparently also bestows the gift of deception.
"Me? No, it was already like this when I got here."
After all, in order to lie and get away with it, you also have to keep the truth in mind and manipulate it, and you might even have to cover up your lies upon further questioning. All of this involves integrating several brain processes in much the same way that you would solve a complex calculus problem. This means that the age at which you start lying, and the effectiveness with which you do it throughout your life, are controlled by how smart you are.
In one study, scientists put people in brain-imaging machines and found that the regions of the brain that light up when a person metaphorically sets his pants on fire are the same that control "executive functioning." These are high-order thinking and reasoning abilities that include working memory, which, you guessed it, is the single biggest component of your IQ.
Suuuuure, Mr. Hawking. The universe is expanding and boundless. We're onto your game!
Another study simply tracked the tendency of children to lie as they got older (that is, as that aforementioned part of their brains developed). The researchers simply placed young kids in a room with a toy Barney under a cloth and told the kids not to peek at the toy when the researchers left the room.
They later conducted the same test, replacing the toy with a live cobra.
Of course, 9 out of 10 kids totally peeked, but the percentage of kids who lied about whether they peeked grew as the kids got older. At age 2, 25 percent of the kids lied about peeking; at age 3, half lied; and by age 4, 90 percent of the kids who peeked at the purple dinosaur refused to admit their guilt. That would also seem to imply that the 25 percent of kids who fibbed at age 2 possessed higher cognitive abilities than their peers.
In other words, if you want to know whether your kid is gifted, simply track the specific age at which he starts trying to bullshit you. Speaking of which ...
#2. You're More Likely to Believe Bullshit
We're sure that at some point, someone has told you that you can't get anywhere without an education, and for the most part, they're right. And you're much more likely to pursue that education if you're starting out with a high IQ. According to renowned intelligenceologists who painstakingly measured every goddamn thing that you can associate with IQ, test scores were "the best single predictor of an individual's years of education."
Though some measurements were admittedly questionable.
Why? Well, their theory goes that smarter students do better in school (Cracked breaks new ground yet again!), which leads to more encouragement from teachers and parents, which in turn leads to more motivation to stay in school, then yadda yadda yadda, bingo-bango, master's degree in economics!
So What's the Problem?
It turns out that all this book learnin' is teaching you more than just the Pythagorean theorem -- it's also making it easier for you to believe some laughably wrong and even seriously weird stuff.
Via Mastermarf.com
One problem is that education leads to one overall inaccurate belief: You think you're smarter than you are. Three studies have found that people who fall for investment scams are better-educated than the average person but don't seek advice because they think they're immune to making mistakes. In one study, researchers found that 94 percent of college professors think their work is superior to their peers'. These fellows fail to realize that intelligence doesn't always translate to real-world ability, and thus they tend to overestimate the quality of their work.
Via Smartiq.com
Whoa! Sure is getting crowded at the smart end of the bell curve. Right, guys?
It seems to go back to the old saying about how the wisest man is the one who realizes he knows nothing. Or, as Michael Shermer, the author of Why People Believe Weird Things, puts it: "Smart people believe weird things because they are skilled at defending beliefs they arrived at for non-smart reasons."
That's why the more education you get, the more likely you are to believe in, say, ghosts and the supernatural. One study found that 23 percent of college freshman believed in the paranormal, compared with 31 percent of seniors and 34 percent of graduate students. Which leads us to wonder ... what the fuck are schools teaching these days?
#1. You're More Likely to Be Self-Destructive
On one hand, it seems like the smarter you are, the greater your ability to know the dangers of, say, shooting heroin. So self-destructive habits are traits of the low-class and stupid, right? Eh, not really...
The thing is, the great minds have something in common with proverbial death-prone kitties: curiosity. Researchers have finally begun to understand the link between curiosity and intelligence on the molecular level, thanks to scientists from the University of Toronto and Mount Sinai Hospital who discovered a protein in an under-explored part of the brain that controls both traits.
Via Wiredtowinthemovie.com
It's always in the last place you look.
Makes sense. Weird shit like monkey-powered time machines can be invented only by people with enough brain smarts to make them work and enough curiosity to want to see such awesomeness in the first place.
So What's the Problem?
Extra-curious people are also extra-likely to be substance abusers.
British scientists published the results of a long-term study showing that smart people were more likely to be drunks. People who fell into the "very bright" category (IQs of 125 or greater) were not only more likely to experiment with alcohol but also were more likely to drink excessively and binge drink than their dimwitted counterparts.
These men are living, breathing supercomputers.
And yeah, they pretty much found the same link between high intelligence and psychoactive drug use. It also turns out that intelligent people are much more likely to indulge in illicit substances such as marijuana, Ecstasy, cocaine and heroin. The smarter you are, the more likely you are to be tripping balls at any given moment.
"Duuuuude. We should totally rent The Wall tonight!"
As for why, remember when we said earlier that smart people's brains seek out novelty and thus are the first to experiment with any new habit? Well, one theory explaining the link between substance abuse and intelligence is that both alcohol and drugs are novel substances, in evolutionary terms. Humans have been consuming alcohol for only about 10,000 years, and the earliest recorded drug was only 5,000 years ago. So when something is novel, the curiouser and most intelligent among us are more likely to want to try it out.
You know. For science.
