I have helped people that receive support from Moving Out acceive their goal of home ownership. I am a realtor and love helping make this happen. Moving Out does an outstanding job of making things work and allowing people the control they deserve and the support they need. Everyone should be allowed to own a home if this is what they want. Moving Out makes this happen and I have been glad to be part of the process.

Daffodil, jonquil hybrids
Narcissus_ hybrids
Although the terms jonquil and daffodil are often used interchangeably, jonquils are technically only one type of daffodil. Jonquils have one to five flowers per stem and are usually quite fragrant. The petals may be spreading or reflexed. As with other types of daffodils, jonquils are reliable spring bloomers, resisting damage from rabbits and deer. Bulbs increase by natural division, making them great for naturalizing.

how to grow Daffodil, jonquil hybrids
top varieties for Daffodil, jonquil hybrids
Daffodil, small-cup hybrids
Small-cup daffodils have all the same qualities of large-cup and trumpet daffodils, with the exception of the size of their cups. To be classified as a small-cup daffodil, the cup must be less than one-third the length of the petals.Most small-cup daffodils bear only one flower per stem. Blooms may be yellow, white, pink, or bicolor, and some are fragrant. Daffodils make good cut flowers. Plants may be full-size or miniature. All varieties in this class are deer- and rabbit-resistant.
Daffodil, large-cup hybrids
Large-cup and trumpet daffodils are nearly no-fail spring bulbs. Deer and rabbits avoid them, and they bloom reliably each spring, often increasing in spread and amount of bloom from year to year. The varieties classified as large-cup or trumpet daffodils usually have one flower per stem, and the cup (or corona) is about one-third the length of the petals. In trumpet types, the cup is longer than the petals.While this group has some of the largest daffodil varieties available, it also includes miniatures with large cups relative to petal length.
Daffodil, double hybrids
Double daffodils are the show-offs of the daffodil world. Not content with a single row of petals, they have multiple rings of petals or tufted cups full of frills. Flower colors may be yellow, white, peach, pink, bicolor, or mixed. Many are so packed with petals that they almost look like miniature peonies.As with single daffodils, the plants are deer and rabbit resistant and easy to grow. Double varieties do have a drawback, however: The flowers are sometimes so heavy that the stems have difficulty holding the blooms upright. You may need to stake individual stems or harvest fallen flowers for bouquets.
Daffodil, tazetta hybrids
Tazetta daffodils are commonly called paperwhite narcissus. They have multiple blooms per stem, with as few as three or as many as 20. Most are extremely fragrant and may be forced to bloom indoors for a touch of spring in late winter. You can force the bulbs in pots or in pebbles with water.Outdoors, plant paperwhite narcissus in well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. They are deer- and rabbit-resistant.
Daffodil, split-cup hybrids
Split-cup daffodils are so named because varieties in this division have a central cup that's cut -- usually for more than half its length. They are sometimes called butterfly daffodils because the split sections of the cup fold back against the petals, resembling spread butterfly wings.In other respects, split-cup daffodils resemble standard trumpet or large-cup daffodils. They bear one flower per stem and come in the full range of daffodil colors: white, yellow, pink, orange, and bicolor. Some varieties are fragrant, and all are resistant to deer and rabbit damage.
Daffodil, poet types
Poet's daffodils are also sometimes called poeticus or pheasant-eye daffodils. The latter designation derives from their red-rimmed yellow or green cups that resemble a pheasant's eye against the backdrop of the bulb's white petals. The flowers are borne one to a stem and are fragrant.This division of daffodils, like all others, is resistant to deer and rabbit damage. The plants are drought-tolerant and naturalize readily.
Daffodil, cyclamineus types
Cyclamineus daffodils received their name from their short-necked flowers, which are sharply angled toward the stem, resembling cyclamen blooms. Many of these daffodil varieties feature petals that flare back away from the cup, creating even greater similarity to cyclamen. Their flowers are usually borne singly on each stem and may be yellow or white with a cup of the same or a contrasting color.These easy-care spring flowers are resistant to deer and rabbits, and grow best in dry summer conditions.
Daffodil, bulbocodium types
Narcissus bulbocodium is also called hoop-petticoat daffodil because the cup, or corona, is much larger than the petals, so each flower appears to be mostly a cup with a fringe of petals surrounding it. The plant usually bears a single flower per stem. Native to western France, Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, it grows best in areas that have warm, dry summers. It is a bit less cold-hardy than many of the larger hybrid daffodils. However, like its larger cousins, it is deer- and rabbit-resistant.
Daffodil, triandrus types
Triandrus daffodils usually have two or more flowers per stem. The petals on each flower flare backward and bend down at the neck. Most daffodils in this group are sweetly scented and appear in shades of white and yellow.Long-lived triandrus daffodils are good for naturalizing in drought-prone areas and make excellent cut flowers. Deer and rabbits avoid eating them, and few other pests bother them.

In hindsight, some of the best things turn out to have been the most obvious.
This was destined to be a year in which the biggest tech companies would consolidate their hold on power. You could have set your stock picking on auto-pilot, almost.
The smartphone duo of Apple aapl -0.7744141607160817% Apple Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD98.66 -0.77 -0.7744141607160817% /Date(1469221200063-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 28270202 AFTER HOURS USD98.38 -0.280000000000001 -0.28380295965943647% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 43467 P/E Ratio 10.974416017797553 Market Cap 540402751289.397 Dividend Yield 2.3109669572268396% Rev. per Employee 2050050 More quote details and news » (ticker: AAPL) and Samsung Electronics (005930.Korea), specifically, notched up one success after another.
I guessed only half that story, though, as I mostly ignored Samsung as a stock pick, preferring to focus on Apple. Up 36% this year, Samsung's shares reflect its becoming the biggest cellphone maker in the land. Against a backdrop of 15.6% appreciation for the Nasdaq, 13.2% for the Standard & Poor's 500, and 7.4% for the Dow, Samsung's performance was stellar for a decades-old tech giant. Even Apple's winning a $1.05 billion award against the Korean company in August on patent-infringement charges didn't slow Samsung down.
Apple was a more mixed bag this year. Up 28%, it was hardly a disappointment. It performed strongly right out of the gate, rising more than 50% in the first three months of the year on the astounding strength in iPhone sales in its December 2011 and March 2012 quarterly reports.
I accurately predicted in March that the stock might take a breather, and it did, just briefly ("Now Hear This, Investors: Believe It or Not, Apple Is…Cheap!" March 19). And I was right in anticipating that the shares would rise toward the September introduction of the iPhone 5 ("Apple Is a Safe Haven in a Tech World Riven With Fear," July 9). I waxed enthusiastic about that product introduction, predicting an imminent rally on the premise Apple would make money "more swiftly and surely than ever before" ("Amazing Apple Does It Again," Sept. 17).
What rally there was, however, was short-lived. The stock, then at a lifetime high of $696.98, rose a little further, to $705.07, before losing altitude, fast.
There were specific issues that caused lots of negative headlines, such as the debacle of Apple's new Maps program. And there were broader concerns that Apple's innovation had ceased with the passing of founder Steve Jobs last year, and that its tremendous growth would slow.
With the stock trading at the time at an ominous $666, I argued that the critics had no real concrete arguments, just vague conjecture ("Apple Critics Sharpen Their Pens, but Lack Logic," Oct. 8).
The joke was on me. The shares proceeded to fall 20% to a recent $519. Clearly, I should have heeded the instincts of folks like Doug Kass, who warned that the best stocks will drop like a stone when it's time for investors to cash in hefty profits.
In contrast to my unwavering faith in Apple, I had a midcourse change of heart in 2012 about the titans of personal computing, Intel intc 1.1380215932302304% Intel Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD34.66 0.39 1.1380215932302304% /Date(1469221200353-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 32457972 AFTER HOURS USD34.64 -0.019999999999996 -0.05770340450086555% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 575681 P/E Ratio 16.743961352657006 Market Cap 163664519279.48 Dividend Yield 3.000577034045009% Rev. per Employee 527624 More quote details and news » (INTC) and Microsoft msft 1.3799283154121864% Microsoft Corp.

After starting the year arguing that Intel was holding up OK despite a weak PC market, and that Microsoft could rise and rise in advance of its next operating system version, Windows 8, I threw in the towel when things started to look even grimmer for the PC business.
The turning point was Microsoft's announcement in June that it would go into competition with its hardware partners with the Surface tablet computer. It was an important clue that this is no longer your grandfather's PC industry ("Microsoft Tries to Etch a Future in Tablets," June 25). Intel shares have fallen 23% since that article and are down 15% for the year, while Microsoft fell 11% but is now up 5.5% for the year.
Early in 2012 I declared that it would be all about cloud-computing companies, but that some of the stocks were too dear to recommend ("Forecast for 2012: A Cloud-y Kind of Year," Jan. 2).
Indeed, server-technology vendor Fusion-IO (FIO) continues to be a great name, but its shares are down 7%, a consequence of strong results not living up to the loftiest expectations.
I didn't exactly recommend shares of competitors OCZ Technology (OCZ) and Stec (STEC), but I wished I'd warned against them. Their shares fell 70% and 40%, respectively, this year.
In a similar vein, I wrote in August that the other really big trend in corporate IT, so-called big data, had already played out for the stocks of some young companies, leaving little room for more share-price appreciation ("Big Data Is Giving Small Techs a Big Boost," Aug. 13). Sure enough, Mellanox Technologies mlnx -1.8506563374219926% Mellanox Technologies Ltd.

I was half right. The two most speculative names, Charter and Cablevision, fell 5% and 8%, respectively, following the article. But Comcast rose 8% and Time Warner, over 7%. Hopefully, two out of four will be considered not terrible.
In August I said that Cisco Systems csco 0.4251144538914323% Cisco Systems Inc.

It also had a newfound largesse, vowing to keep its payout ratio at 50% of free cash flow.
The stock is up almost 5% since that story, as investors have responded to results that were relatively good in an otherwise rough market for networking equipment. The stock is up 9% for the year.

In laying out the challenges for newly installed CEO Meg Whitman to renovate the world's largest PC maker successfully, I wrote that it seemed like a nearly impossible task, which has proved true so far. I didn't take a specific position on HP shares but pointed readers toward other stocks like Apple and Cisco. In subsequent columns I warned readers away from the shares. And as HP has limped through lousy earnings reports and massive write-downs, the shares have plunged 52% since our first story.
As I said, sometimes the surest things are right under your nose.

In windows XP, (added-it looks a bit like) I can't print from notepad, but I can from ms word. Why is this, what can I do to solve it?
UPDATE- turns out I can print from notepad, if there is text in the document, but when there's no text in notepad, I can't print. (Really it should print a page with untitled written at the top, but the paper doesn't even get sucked into the printer when I click print for a blank notepad window).
As a test prior to noticing it did print in MS Word, I saw the printer does indeed come up in device manager when i plug it in. And I did install the drivers for it beforehand.
An annoyance about it not printing a notepad document with no contents in the file, is somebody unaware of the issue might think the printer doesn't respond to anything. As it's so unexpected to most people, to be able to print in ms word and not notepad. Many may just try notepad, it fails, and they can suspect it's a driver issue or not even getting as far as that.
The answer to the problem, is that notepad for some odd reason, and i've no idea why as in most of my experiences it doesn't behave like this. And this could be notepad, or could be the printer, it could be windows, I don't know. It doesn't even suck the paper in. I guess it may be specific to this printer I don't know.
When there's nothing in the notepad document. It doesn't suck the paper in and print untitled on the top(as i've seen on most systems i've set up, and they've got sp2 on them).
Normally i'd think machines just print a page that says "Untitled" at the top. But this won't do that. If I open the print spooler, I see the document goes there then disappears. I have seen this once before years ago. I have now solved it somewhat.
If you type a single character, then it prints. So something, I don't know what, but something, is deciding that if a notepad document has no characters in it, don't print it!
That's different to the normal behaviour is it should print a page with untitled at the top(when you do file print in an unsaved blank notepad window).
But as of now.. I see, the solution being that it does print from notepad, if you type at least a single character into notepad, then it prints. Though that still doesn't explain why it doesn't print when there are no characters in there. What is making that decision. I wonder if anybody else has experienced this / has any input on it

What is the treatment for pulmonary edema?
The treatment of pulmonary edema largely depends on its cause and severity.
Most cases of cardiac pulmonary edema are treated by using diuretics (water pills) along with other medications for heart failure. In some situations, appropriate treatment can be achieved as an outpatient by taking oral medications. If the pulmonary edema is more severe or it is not responsive to oral medications, then hospitalization and the use of intravenous diuretic medications may be necessary.
The treatment for noncardiac causes of pulmonary edema varies depending on the cause. For example, severe infection (sepsis) is treated with antibiotics and other supportive measures, or kidney failure needs to be properly evaluated and managed.
Oxygen supplementation is necessary if the measured oxygen level in the blood is too low. In serious conditions, such as ARDS, placing a patient on a mechanical breathing machine is necessary to support their breathing while other measures are taken to treat pulmonary edema and its underlying cause.
What are the complications of pulmonary edema?
Most complications of pulmonary edema may arise from the complications associated with the underlying cause. More specifically, pulmonary edema can cause severely compromised oxygenation of the blood by the lungs. This poor oxygenation (hypoxia) can potentially lead to diminished oxygen delivery to different body organs, such as the brain.
How can pulmonary edema be prevented?
In terms of preventive measures, depending on the cause of pulmonary edema, some steps can be taken. Long-term prevention of heart disease and heart attacks, slow elevation to high altitudes, or avoidance of drug overdose can be considered preventive.
On the other hand, some causes may not completely avoidable or preventable, such as ARDS due to an overwhelming infection or a trauma.

I've been writing some test code for a program I'm developing. Some of my code performs operations that modify data on a SQL Server. In order to avoid cluttering my database with test data, I use transactions. I run each test within a transaction and then roll back the transaction.
However, when I run my test code, it sporadically throws exception that it could not connnect to the SQL Server. Even worse, it seems that sometimes, the transactions just float in the aether, locking tables in my database so that ordinary users cannot connect. (This is a development environment database, but even still, it's a big hassle).
My tests are divided into about 100 tests; each test runs in it's own transaction; the tests run in sequence (or at least I think they should :-/).
If I run the tests one at a time, they always pass. I only have trouble when running all 100 tests at once within Visual Studio 2008. Each test runs very quickly, so I think that the problem has something to do with the SQL Server not being able to clean up the connection from a previous test and make available a new connection.
Is there some adjustment to my SQL Server configuration that may remedy this problem?

Me and my husband spent 5 nights in Frisco. Inn.
We were very pleased and loved the place. It׳s location is in the center of town. 500 m walk from dam square. Perfect! Walking out of the hotel and everything is there. The central station, Damm square, the shopping street, a lot of foods and restaurants .
The room was small but very clean and pleasant. The staff was very very nice and helped in everything. We loved staying here and will defenetly stay there again.
The only thing we didn't like was the smoke that came into the room when the window was left open, because of the smoking guests down stairs. But what is Amsterdam without smoking...

Monday Night Football: Cowboys Eyeing Playoffs Heading Into Final Stretch
Published: Monday, December 9, 2013 at 12:13 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 9, 2013 at 12:13 a.m.
CHICAGO | Jason Garrett wasn't interested in a history lesson.
The way he sees it, the shortfalls in recent seasons have no bearing on the playoff push the Dallas Cowboys are trying to sustain heading into the final stretch.
They head into tonight's game against the fading Chicago Bears with back-to-back wins and a share of the NFC East lead.
"A lot of people step back and say, 'This team won eight in a row and won the Super Bowl. This team lost their last three,'" said the Cowboys coach. "It has nothing to do with us. What has to do with us is today and our preparation for Chicago. We want to play one good ballgame. That's really what we're focused on. We'll let everyone else figure out what the history of the world is.
"We've got to focus on us right now," he continued. "This football team has very little to do with the 2012, '11, '10, 1966 team — it has nothing to do with it. So we need to focus on us and what we need to do to get ourselves ready to play one ballgame."
For the third time in three full seasons under Garrett, the Cowboys (7-5) go into December with a chance to make the playoffs. Now, they'd like to clinch a spot.
They won three straight to go to 8-6 last season, only to lose to New Orleans and Washington. The Redskins game was the second straight playoffs-or-bust finale, so if Garrett wasn't in a reflective mood, it's not hard to see why.
The Bears (6-6) would just as soon not look back, either.
They've dropped six of nine after a demoralizing 23-20 overtime loss at Minnesota that fueled questions about coach Marc Trestman's decisions and reduced their playoff hopes to a long shot.
Trestman found himself facing questions for having Robbie Gould attempt a 47-yard field goal on a second down in overtime rather than try to shorten the distance as the Bears were moving the ball well enough.
Gould, operating on little sleep after the birth of his son, missed wide right, and Minnesota's Blair Walsh answered with a 34-yarder.
That sent the Bears to their sixth loss in nine games, a serious blow to their playoff hopes.
They trail Detroit by a game in the NFC North, with the Lions holding the head-to-head sweep, and their shot at the wild card is just about out of range.
The Bears would have been facing an uphill climb even if Jay Cutler and Lance Briggs returned from their injuries, and Trestman said they will not play this week.
"December is when you put yourself in position to try and make a playoff push, and unfortunately we're not in control of our own destiny now," long snapper Patrick Mannelly said.

Energy Drinks for Exercisers
What about energy drinks for exercisers? Is there anything to them, besides plenty of caffeine?
The truth is that it depends on the energy drink. Red Bull, among the biggest names in energy drinks, pumps in 106 calories of carbohydrates (27 grams), and 193 milligrams of sodium along with its jolt of caffeine. Sugar-free energy drinks, meanwhile, give you the jolt without the carbs and calories.
Clark believes energy drinks do have their place. She says there is clear evidence caffeine is a nonharmful stimulant that provides performance-enhancing benefits, which can include improved endurance, stamina, and reaction time.
"In most cases caffeine stimulates alertness, motor skill, and concentration," says Clark.
She warns, however, that caffeine is banned by the National Collegiate Athletic Association at levels equivalent to five Starbucks coffees. But drinking one Red Bull, for example, provides about 70 milligrams of caffeine, which is less than what you'll find in one Starbucks coffee (260 milligrams per 12-ounce serving).
Overuse of caffeine can cause the jitters, so exercisers just need to know how much to consume for their personal comfort, warns Clark.
Assorted other ingredients are added to some of these energy drinks, such as:
- Taurine, which is similar to an amino acid but not considered a component of proteins. Glucuronolactone, a compound produced by the metabolism of glucose in the human liver. It's purported -- but not proven -- to fight fatigue.
- Ginkgo biloba, which is thought to help prevent mental decline but again, this theory is up for debate.
- Ginseng, which is promoted for energy and mental alertness, but the specifics of its effects aren't clear.
- Guarana, which is nicknamed "herbal caffeine." This is a stimulant similar to caffeine, and so should be used only in moderation.
What's in Your Exercise Drink?
Below is some nutritional information, as available on labels, about some of the common sports and energy drinks available. And here's one more tip for staying hydrated when you work out: Whatever you choose to drink when you exercise, drink it well-chilled for faster absorption by the body.
Sports drinks (8 ounces):
- Gatorade: 50 calories, 14 grams sugar (from sucrose syrup and high-fructose corn syrup), 110 mg sodium, caffeine-free. Other ingredients: potassium (30 mg). Vitamins (percentage of recommended Daily Value): None
- Propel Fitness Water: 10 calories, 2 grams sugar (from sucrose syrup; also sweetened with sucralose or Splenda), 35 mg sodium, caffeine-free. Other ingredients: None. Vitamins (% Daily Value): 10% vitamin C; 10% vitamin E; 25% B3 and B6; 4% B12, 25% pantothenic acid.

I almost go into a state of hyperventilation when a monthly glossy magazine contains a beauty awards supplement. I have to run home from the newsagent really quickly to get my product junkie "fix" of all that is new and exciting in the skincare and beauty field!
I love to see the products highly recommended by industry experts and get especially excited when a product that constantly makes its way on to my bathroom shelf, gets a mention, so I thought this was a good time to show you what I am currently using and what has made it onto my product "lust list".
When it comes to skincare, I must admit I pretty much stick to the basics. I don't usually invest in any kind of serums except if they come in the form of a freebie, so its pretty much just cleanse, tone and moisturise for me.
As most regular readers will know, I have used Liz Earle cleanse and polish (£13.75) since it first went on sale, some 16 years ago. I used to be obsessed by Liz, who often had a Beauty Slot on morning television and then went on to host her own early afternoon show on ITV, where you got a peek inside her home and lifestyle. This was when I worked in London and all the girls in the office used to have their lunch hour together and we would watch the show in the comfort of the Staff Room. It was shortly after this time that Liz decided to develop her very own successful brand of skin and bodycare which continues to expand its product range.
A hot cloth cleanser was a new phenomena back then and it was only in recent years that I gave the Eve Lom cult cleanser (£50 for 100ml) a try, and now I alternate between the two, depending on funds. Although it sounds expensive, the 100ml size lasts for months and if you can afford it, you will save £20 by investing in the 200ml size for £80. I find this cleanser feels a lot more luxurious than the Liz Earle but it is all a matter of personal taste and more often than not, budget!
I also keep a Dermalogica Ultra Calming Cleanser as a back up and to Tone, I love the Dermalogica Toning Mist as one quick spray and your done! Failing that, its Liz Earle Toner but sometimes I just splash with cold water as most mornings I am in serious need of a freezing cold wake up call!

Ke$ ha checked herself into the facility a week ago, revealing she was seeking treatment for an eating disorder.
Her mother then went public, blaming her daughter's famed music producer, Dr. Luke , with causing the problem, saying he constantly nagged Ke$ ha about her weight.
On Friday, Sebert told radio detection and ranging exclusively that Ke$ ha also had recently broken up with a boyfriend and blamed the entire music industry for her daughter's struggles.

"This whole Dr. Luke thing has almost torn our family apart and taken over my life, and Ke$ ha wants me to heal along with her," Sebert said today.

I have a small list of keywords. What I'd really like to do is akin to:
case MyKeyword of
'CHIL': (code for CHIL);
'HUSB': (code for HUSB);
'WIFE': (code for WIFE);
'SEX': (code for SEX);
else (code for everything else);
Unfortunately the CASE statement can't be used like that for strings.
I could use the straight IF THEN ELSE IF construct, e.g.:
if MyKeyword = 'CHIL' then (code for CHIL)
else if MyKeyword = 'HUSB' then (code for HUSB)
else if MyKeyword = 'WIFE' then (code for WIFE)
else if MyKeyword = 'SEX' then (code for SEX)
else (code for everything else);
but I've heard this is relatively inefficient.
What I had been doing instead is:
P := pos(' ' + MyKeyword + ' ', ' CHIL HUSB WIFE SEX ');
case P of
1: (code for CHIL);
6: (code for HUSB);
11: (code for WIFE);
17: (code for SEX);
else (code for everything else);
This, of course is not the best programming style, but it works fine for me and up to now didn't make a difference.
So what is the best way to rewrite this in Delphi so that it is both simple, understandable but also fast?
(For reference, I am using Delphi 2009 with Unicode strings.)
Toby recommended I simply use the If Then Else construct. Looking back at my examples that used a CASE statement, I can see how that is a viable answer. Unfortunately, my inclusion of the CASE inadvertently hid my real question.
I actually don't care which keyword it is. That is just a bonus if the particular method can identify it like the POS method can. What I need is to know whether or not the keyword is in the set of keywords.
So really I want to know if there is anything better than:
if pos(' ' + MyKeyword + ' ', ' CHIL HUSB WIFE SEX ') > 0 then
The If Then Else equivalent does not seem better in this case being:
if (MyKeyword = 'CHIL') or (MyKeyword = 'HUSB') or (MyKeyword = 'WIFE')
or (MyKeyword = 'SEX') then
In Barry's comment to Kornel's question, he mentions the TDictionary Generic. I've not yet picked up on the new Generic collections and it looks like I should delve into them. My question here would be whether they are built for efficiency and how would using TDictionary compare in looks and in speed to the above two lines?
In later profiling, I have found that the concatenation of strings as in: (' ' + MyKeyword + ' ') is VERY expensive time-wise and should be avoided whenever possible. Almost any other solution is better than doing this.

In Word 2010, I have an equation object that wraps at the end of a line. Is there a way to stop it from wrapping? (Since it's an equation object, I can't just use a no break space like would be normal for text.)
Word (2010) wraps long equations (in display format) only before some mathematical operators, like
To avoid the wrap, you can use a nonbreaking-space
The equation wraps when it won't fit in the margins of the page. Assuming there is enough room on the page for the equation, you can adjust either the margins, or the left and right indent.
Alternatively, you can use the paragraph dialog to set the margins directly. This might be useful if you have a number of equations to fix this way and want them to all have the same settings. Dragging on the ruler in this case can be a bit fiddly.

A tigger is a petite, fine looking woman. Height of the tigger can vary as it's relative to the observer, but there must be at least 1ft difference in height between the tigger and the observer. it's a reference to Tigger from Winnie the Pooh. You just have to imagine her on top doing what a Tigger does best (bounces).

LT, be honest. You are a wishful conjuror, not a long term investor. You think FB buying SYMC would be a good strategic fit. You think that HP and IBM are bellweathers for SYMC performance. You don't know the first thing about how to read an income statement or balance sheet, yet you pontificate about occult finances. You say that you are long term, yet you obsess over a bad quarter and you make short term price calls. You portray yourself as having important sources of inside information about the company.
It's O.K. to be a wishful conjuror. We are all entitled to our hopes and dreams. And you keep abreast of SYMC news and events and share some of that here, and i'm sure we all appreciate factual information. But don't you think that the charade of trying to make readers believe that you are a serious, long term investor who has important insights to share on SYMC fundamentals has now run its course?
Resorting to personal attacks or distortions of reality, clearly you must a Democrat. What you just wrote is so pathetically off the mark and mis-representative of anything I've said in the past that I should not even dignify it with a response. I doubt you understand the first thing about business or investing and clearly do not understand why there is relevance to the companies you've mentioned. Clearly the alleged ability to read a balance sheet isn't helping you be any less of a fool.
If you knew anything about investing, or understood anything substantive about Symantec's business (and all the outside influences involved) you would take one look at the earnings report, transcript, press wire and today's chart and know full well exactly what game has been played, it's a classic.
By all means feel free to add to more to your portfolio at this price level. In the mean time I will write more calls and potentially consider nibbling at more long positions once it heads back into the 17's.
Oh, and I'm an Independent.
LT, I have held shares in this company since 1998. I bought shares because I used to work in the industry (not the company) and have direct knowledge of this part of the technology world. What I wrote about your past comments is factual.

This week sees the opening of the Bolshoi Ballet's three-week season at Covent Garden. Though it's a relatively short visit by the famous Russian company, there are several DVDs available from the ROH Shop showcasing the repertory and the dancers that will be performing:
The Flames of Paris
Another highlight of the Bolshoi's season is the return to the fold of Ivan Vasiliev and Natalia Osipova. For one already sold-out night they'll be starring in The Flames of Paris, Alexei Ratmansky's re-working of Boris Asafiev's Soviet drama set in the French Revolution. Fortunately for those unable to get tickets, a DVD and a Blu-ray filmed in 2010 captures Vasiliev and Osipova performing The Flames of Paris with the Bolshoi – their famous pas de deux near the end is one of the most astonishing ballet sequences available on DVD.
The Sleeping Beauty
Yuri Grigorovich's new production of The Sleeping Beauty marked a milestone for the company. It was created to celebrate 2012's grand re-opening of the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow and the performance at the ROH is the first time this no-expense-spared extravaganza of astounding courtly scenery and stunning costumes has travelled outside of Russia. The DVD and Blu-ray feature Svetlana Zakharova as Princess Aurora and David Hallberg as her Prince Désiré, the same couple who are scheduled to dance these roles on 6 August.
La Bayadère
La Bayadère is always popular and the Bolshoi's lovely production has now been committed to DVD and Blu-ray. Furthermore, to celebrate the Bolshoi's return to Covent Garden, the Royal Opera House Shop has been granted exclusive rights to sell this brand new recording from 29 July 2013, several months before its official release date in the autumn. The casting is fabulous and features Svetlana Zakharova as Nikiya, Vladislav Lantratov as Solor and Maria Alexandrova as the dastardly Gamzatti – the same trio who'll be performing at the Royal Opera House on 2 August.
Treasures of the Russian Ballet
Finally, for those who love the historical aspects of dance, there is Treasures of the Russian Ballet, a DVD that shows extracts of Swan Lake from the Bolshoi's first ever tour to Covent Garden in 1956. Filmed by the BBC under the watchful eye of Margaret Dale, it also includes highlights from Cinderella, Giselle, Gayaneh and Don Quixote (all filmed in 1963) and, as an extra bonus, also features the Kirov performing Act 1 of The Stone Flower at the Royal Opera House in 1960.
A number of other Bolshoi Ballet productions are available on DVD and Blu-ray from the Royal Opera House Shop.]]>
This summer's performances by the Bolshoi Ballet mark the 50th year of the Moscow-based company performing at Covent Garden under the banner of Victor and Lilian Hochhauser.
Described by tour promoter Lilian Hochhauser as 'the cultural face of Russia', the Bolshoi is recognized as one of the foremost ballet companies in the world. Even Lady Gaga is apparently a fan. Recent controversies seem to have done nothing to blunt the company's brilliance on stage.
The company was founded in 1776, originally established by Prince Pyotr Urusov as a dance school for Moscow orphans. English theatrical entrepreneur (and former acrobat) Michael Maddox played a key role in helping the company to develop and within a couple of decades a the Bolshoi consisted of 50 dancers.
In 1812 the original premises were destroyed by fire and so in 1825 the Company moved to the newly-built Petrovsky theatre, which soon became known as 'the Imperial Bolshoi Theatre of Moscow'. 'Bolshoi' is Russian for 'big', still true today of a company that comprises over 200 dancers). By the early years of the 20th century, the Bolshoi was developing its own identity, helped by the appointment of Alexander Gorsky, Marius Petipa's former assistant who staged and revised such works as Don Quixote, Coppélia, La Bayadère and Swan Lake.
The start of the Soviet era saw Moscow become the capital of the newly-formed Soviet Union and politicians increase their involvement in artistic decision-making. Works from this era such as The Red Poppy often feature revolutionary themes.
The first London performances by the company took place in 1956, when they danced Swan Lake at the Royal Opera House. The Hochhausers promoted the tour in 1963 that included performances of Swan Lake, Cinderella, Romeo and Juliet and The Little Hump-Backed Horse. They have organized all of the Bolshoi's trips to the UK since, with the company's London initial early 1960s performances being a decade in the making. 'The day of [Stalin's] death we started working with the Russians,' Lilian recently told the Telegraph, 'That meant we just missed meeting Prokofiev because he died the same day.'
As the Soviet Union began to open up, and under the directorship of Yuri Grigorovich, the company cemented its international reputation with a string of tours and grand productions including Spartacus and Ivan the Terrible. This period saw opportunities for a new generation of stars too, as dancers such as Ekaterina Maximova were able to perform on the world stage for the first time.
Over the years the Bolshoi has developed a historical rivalry with St Petersburg's Mariinsky. Both companies have developed different performing styles; the Mariinsky's refined classicism against the Bolshoi's emotion-filled spectacle. The company has a reputation for reviving classics, commissioning new works (Royal Ballet Artistic Associate Christopher Wheeldon became the first Englishman to create a work for the company when he created Misericors in 2007) and developing new talent (Royal Ballet Principal Natalia Osipova being just one example).
This 50th anniversary visit by the Bolshoi promises to be a treat for ballet fans, a reflection of a company that is - as the Russians say - Bolshoi nazvaniyem, bolshoi svoistvom' ('big by name, and big by nature').
Have you seen the Bolshoi perform? What makes the company's style so unique?
The Bolshoi Ballet perform Swan Lake, La Bayadère , The Sleeping Beauty, Jewels and The Flames of Paris between 29 July and 17 August. Tickets are still available for some productions but there are no day tickets for Bolshoi performances.]]>

Fundraiser Ideas
Over a year ago
I know someone who is friends with a girl that has rescued a kitten who is in need of very expensive skin-graph surgery. She is in the process of organizing some events to help raise money.
Reading this story completely broke my heart, and I want to do everything I can to help her. I wanted to reach out to you in hopes that some of you may have some ideas on what I can do. Any contacts? Good fundraiser ideas? Anyone to ask to donate?
Anything at this point would be a huge help.
Please log in to reply.
Over a year ago
Just any of your typical local fundraisers. Bake sale, selling old stuff, lemonade stand, car wash, selling shirts or bracelets, asking for donations. (Also a hint if you do any type of bake sale etc. It is normally best to ask for donations instead of putting specific prices people are tend to be more generous and you raise more money that way)
You could try creating a facebook page or something or asking for donations online. Though there are already a lot of pages like that and its hard to get noticed. You would have to basically be really close to the kitten and be able to update people on it's status and tons of pictures of it and its progess too to usually make any sort of impact.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

After getting just 75 points this season, the Vancouver Canucks will have the fifth pick in the 2016 NHL Draft.

Vancouver Canucks: Is it time to start over?

It was their ninth straight loss, dating back to March 14, and only one of those losses went into extra time (they lost in a shootout at Nashville, which also happens to be the last team Vancouver...

Revelation 11: [15] And the seventh angel sounded;… [18] And shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. [19] …and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
Revelation 11:18. The Greek Text:
καὶ διαφθεῖραι τοὺς διαφθείροντας τὴν γῆν
In Revelation 11:18, the Greek word for the second English word "destroy" has to do with morality. With an in-depth study from the New Testament Greek language, this phrase can be translated as:
{and destroy and bring to ruin, causing them to perish, to kill them, which destroy by morally corrupting the occupants of the earth and have caused the inhabitants to become thoroughly rotten, by changing their minds and morals for the worse.}

Baked Artichoke Frittata
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 40 mins
Couldn't be easier. This is baked in a shallow casserole dish or 4 small 1 1/2 cup sized shallow individual pans. It gets nice and puffy almost like a souffle which makes a beautiful presentation. I found this recipe in an old Sunset cook book. This is Florentine sytle cooking. Makes a great dinner or breakfast. You can sub jack cheese for the fontina also.

- 1 (9 ounce) package frozen artichoke hearts
- 6 eggs
- 1⁄2 cup half-and-half
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄8 teaspoon pepper
- 1⁄8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup Fontina cheese, shredded
- 1⁄2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- Cook artichoke hearts according to package directions and drain well.
- Spread artichokes evenly in a well greased, shallow 1 1/2 - 2 quart baking dish. (round or oval is nice).
- Beat eggs with half and half, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
- Stir in fontina cheese and pour over artichokes.
- Bake uncovered in 350 oven for 30 minutes.
- Sprinkle evenly with parmesan then return to oven and bake for 5-8 minutes more or until frittata is puffed and lightly browned.
- Serve at once.

This is a wonderful and delicious frittata. Loved the Fontina cheese with the artichokes, made as written and wouldn't change a thing! Thanks for sharing this great appy! (Made for PAC/Fall 09)
This is really great recipe. It was very easy and really delicious. I couldn't find Fontina so I mixed Emmental and Parmesan as substitute and it worked great. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly with no problem. Thanks for sharing! Made for PAC Autumn '09.
