Most of the algorithms used for research in mesh simplification and discrete levels of detail (LOD) work well for simplifying single objects with a large number of polygons. For a city-sized collection of simple buildings, using these traditional algorithms could mean the disappearance of an entire residential area in which the buildings tend to be smaller than those in commercial regions. To solve this problem, we developed a mesh-simplification algorithm that incorporates concepts from architecture and city planning. Specifically, we rely on the concept of urban legibility, which segments a city into paths, edges, districts, nodes, and landmarks. If we preserve these elements of legibility during the simplification process, we can maintain the city's image and create urban models that users can understand more effectively. To accomplish this goal, we divide our algorithm into five steps. During preprocessing, it performs hierarchical clustering, cluster merging, model simplification, and hierarchical texturing, at runtime, it employs LOD to select the appropriate models for rendering.

Turning Sub Pop Into Gold
Former Sub Pop employee Jed Maheu parted ways with the label over the summer and is starting his own PR company, Dudes PR. Nothing new in the music industry….what is a little, well, different, is one source of funding for his new venturea Postal Service gold record he's now selling on eBay. More than a cleaning out the closet type offer, the precious vinyl comes with a humorous rant about the music industry and Jed's new place in it.

This is very similar to the watermelon salad that I make. I don't use parsley but use either fresh mint or fresh basil, and it's wonderful!
This salad was delicious. A new way of having watermelon. I will make this again. I used tomato and basil flavored feta cheese. Thanks for sharing. Made for Summer Salad Tag.
Very good combination with this salad. I cut it in half for the 2 of us and that worked well except I thought it had a little too much lime in it. I'll cut back on that next time. Very refreshing summer salad that I'll be making again. Thanks. Made for photo forum's Summer Salads
I've been planning to make a salad with watermelon and feta all summer long, and finally got to it last weekend. I brought this salad to a neighborhood picnic, and it was a big hit! Everyone loved the mix of flavors and remarked on the unique ingredient list. The red onion was a big surprise, but very well received. I let the onion sit in the lime juice for about an hour before mixing all the ingredients together. I tossed a few blueberries on top as a garnish -- I was going for a red, white, and blue look for the labor day holiday. Thanks for a great recipe, we'll be making it again this weekend.

This style guide has been useful to me, but I came across rule #5:
In general, the use of such constants should be minimized. In many cases implementing the value as a method is a better choice:
int getMaxIterations() // NOT: MAX_ITERATIONS = 25
return 25;
I understand the reasoning from a style point of view: Not only do you do away with the "shouting" constant declarations, but you're also reducing the number of language constructs in use (forgive me if this is incorrect terminology), making the program easier to understand.
However, does this approach have a derogatory effect on the compiler, or are modern compilers (or, in fact, older compilers..) able to look-ahead enough to determine that your getMaxIterations function is returning the same number every time?
Indeed, and on second thoughts, does the compiler even need to look ahead? The style guide suggests the method approach is better than using a constant value, would I be right in guessing this is because the "constant" value does not need to be held in memory after its use in whatever scope it's in has been completed?
In summary, my question is: Is the use of constant values discouraged and, if so, why?
(And for bonus points, what are the technical differences between declaring a constant value as a method and as a constant?)

I've noticed that when discussing political demographics or candidates, many reporters use the phrases "women voters" and "women candidates". This feels horribly awkward grammatically. It's hard to imagine referring to male voters or candidates as "men voters" or "men candidates". Is there a reason that the word women is more commonly used than female in these situations?

There's nothing grammatically awkward about it. Nouns are often used to modify other nouns. The reason 'women' is used rather than 'female' is a general cultural one rather than a specific linguistic one. I'd speculate that 'female' may sound too impersonal, and possibly inhuman, to some ears.

I am really liking this weekly collection of things to learn. I didn't know about the debugger visualizers from boost before. That will be very handy!
See my BoostCon 2010 presentation "Data Structure Visualizers in Visual Studio 2010" at cid-e66e02dc83efb165.office.live.com/…/vis-1.1.pptx for more info.
Great information in those slides STL. I have a couple questions: on slide 30, why didn't the allocator for spC show up in the visualizer? Also, what did you mean by the "brick wall" labels near the end?
> on slide 30, why didn't the allocator for spC show up in the visualizer?
There are 5 kinds of shared_ptrs: ordinary, custom deleter, custom deleter with custom allocator, make_shared, and allocate_shared. (All of these appear in slide 28.) Slide 30 shows only 3 kinds: ordinary, custom deleter, and make_shared. spC has a custom deleter (for its owned object), but the default allocator (for its reference count control block).
As I explained in the presentation (there's a video of it), but not in the slides themselves, the visualizer says "[deleter and allocator]" due to a minor technical limitation – at that point, it doesn't know which of the 5 kinds of shared_ptrs it's actually displaying. That information is available to that node's preview and children (see slide 7).
> Also, what did you mean by the "brick wall" labels near the end?
That's also not explained in the slides themselves, sorry. (I try to make my slides self-contained, but I can't have too many of them, and this presentation was extremely heavy on graphics and visualizer guts leaving little room for anything else.) VC8/9 visualizers can't see through pointers-to-base-classes, which I refer to as "brick walls". The debugger itself knows what derived classes they point to (e.g. on slide 27, a _Ref_count_base * points to the derived class _Ref_count<int>), but visualizers couldn't be written to say "if this pointer points to derived class A, display thing X, but if it points to derived class B, display thing Y".
At my request, the debugger team added this capability to VC10, with usage explained in slides 28 and 29 – provide visualizers for the derived classes you care about, and then dereferenced pointers to base classes will select the correct derived visualizer.
Any idea of general sentiment toward improving the visualizer engine? Features I would like to see:
– Associate visualizers with a solution or executable (without environment variables).
– A command to reload autoexp.dat on the fly.
– Display non-null-terminated strings by explicit length.
– Display hex numbers without leading 0x.
– Pseudo-types or another way to create intermediate nodes.
– A way to control the key column for better display of associative containers.
– A fix for the conflict between visualizers and arrays (e.g. can't view std::vector<int>[3] properly).
I'll make this observation:
Expressions in autoexp.dat are mainly useful for library built-ins and stable, highly-used data structures. That's certainly handy, but they would be immensely more useful and maintainable if I could embed them in the source code alongside the data structures themselves (probably with some kind of structured comments). That way, they'd be a lot easier to keep in sync, and they'd be available to everyone in my workgroup, without someone having to periodically update the autoexp.dat by hand and pass it around.
This is a very good news for Visual Studio developers.

Wonderful place! The apartment is located in a quiet area, yet very close to public transport (one block to the bus and 2 blocks to the metro). Lots of nice places to eat, shop or have a drink just around the corner.
The apartment itself is spacious, cosy and very clean, providing all amenities you might need during a city trip.
Great base for a New York trip and very good value for the money. We can highly recommend it!
It was an amazing, confortable and excellent 12 days stay in John's apartment. It´s better than in pictures shown. The kitchen is full of everything you need. Warm heating, clean, spacious, home and beautiful furnished and John lives upstairs so you can rest calm and sure.
I am sure for my nextr trips to New York to repeat my stay there. Thank you John for everything.
Hi, we enjoyed our stay very much. The area the flat is located is very nice and quite. Shops and public transport is really just around the blocks (bus appr. 150 meter, subeay appr. 350 meter and shop appr. 500 meter).
The flat is very nice, and actually much nicer than shown on the pictures. The absolute highlite is the back-yard. To be able to have a coffe in the garden ind the morning and a cool driink in the afternoon watching the animals around in the trees is just great. Everything was absolutely well looked after, clean and John was very helpfull. Thanks a lot.
We chose this apartment because we stayed there last year and we had such a great time. Once again John and Liz's apartment did not disappoint, clean, bright, spacious and outside space. The area of Harlem is fantastic with great bars and restaurants and friendly people. John and Liz are great hosts and we know that if we come to New York City again (very likely!) we will chose to stay in their apartment.
We hade in wonderful time in NYC and in the great and very nice apart from John, how was very kindly and helply.
Apart big, design, lovely garden in Harlem.
The last 3 days was realy great, to near the central park.
To near the Dakota building, John Lennon.
Thanks Liz and John for all and hope to see you the next time.
François et Mado
this is a good place stay in NYC, John and he's wife are very friendly and nice.this is a big and beautiful apt, i love it.but the internet not good in the badroom, and kind of slow. everything be fine and if we come NYC, i will choose this apt again!
Very nice appartment in Harlem, very clean, fully furnished and comfortable ! We spend a great time during our 5 days there!
John and his wife are very kind and their welcoming was friendly and warm. They gave us good tips. we highly recommand their house for a stay in New York!
Thanks to them for everything :)
We had a great time in one of our favourite cities. Our stay this time was made even better because we stayed in such a fantastic apartment. It was clean, bright, modern and spacious. Our host, John, was helpful and extremely personable. Staying in Harlem was a different experience but a good one. The apartment was on a lovely tree lined street and near to a subway station so it was easy to reach all areas of New York. There were great bars and restaurants nearby. We loved it all! Thank you John, for making our stay in New York special with your great apartment.
Terrific place to stay. Enough space for two, good bed and bathroom.
Kind and flexible reception, Nice neighbourhood with lost of places to dine or have breakfast.
Firstly, Liz and John (the owner), many thanks for being your guest and using your holiday flat. It was a great stay and your appartment was wonderful.
Die Wohnung in der 127th Str. gelegen, nur ein paar Gehminuten entfernt von Subway linie 2/3, und A, sowie zu diversen Buslinien nach Downton Manhatten wie die M7(sehr zu empfehlen, wenn man Zeit hat). Mehrere Einkaufsmöglichkeitn in der nähe. Applebees zum Frühstück ist zu empfehlen. Im Steakhouse 2 in der 125 th waren die Spare Rip's super, allerdings dürfen Sie keine große Portion verlangen, wir haben zu zweit zwei Abendessen gebraucht:-).
Die Wohnung ist sehr sauber und mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht, inkl WLAN, was bei der Tagesplanung sehr hilft. Die Einrichtung ist modern und sehr geschmackvoll (siehe auch Bilder).
Da die 127th eine Nebenstraße ist, ist es für NewYork dort sehr ruhig und man kann sehr gut schlafen.
Wir würden uns freuen, bei unserem nächsten Trip nach NewYork die Wohnung wieder mieten zu dürfen.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Nov 01st, 1995
Running Time: 77
Director: Ernest Greene
Company: Cal Vista Video
Cast: T.T. Boy, Guy DiSilva, Patricia Kennedy, Jake Steed, Dave Hardman, Sarah-Jane Hamilton, Sean Rider, Luc Wylder
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
The last half rating point will depend on whether you like Patricia Kennedy, the "P.K." of the title and the center"piece" of this video. The tape opens with Patricia getting erotically bathed by "French" maid Sarah-Jane - which leads to licked ass and labia, sexy hair-combing, strap-on and dildo action. Trouble is, it takes 15 minutes for P.K. to return S-J's caresses.
Then, Sarah-Jane dressed Patricia in a laced leather corset and thigh-high boots for her gangbang. P.K. takes on all the guys in the cast, and the action proceeds as gang bangs usually do: lots of fuckin' 'n' suckin', a fairly long d.p., and everybody cums on her face.
This tape tries to please viewers of several sexual interests, and doesn't fully succeed at any, except perhaps the gang bang crowd - and P.K. fans. Stock accordingly.

The hypothesis is that the major source of concentration of arts in different regions is due to agglomeration effects of specialized talents, city size, income, and quality of life. Twenty-nine large metropolitan areas are ranked and assessed for enhancing the climate for arts activity. Data on metropolitan areas in the United States on cost of living, transportation, employment, education, climate, crime, health care, recreation, city size, and per capita income are used as explanations for predominance of art in the 29 metropolitan areas. The results indicate that cities with larger populations and higher per capita income have greater concentrations of artistic activity. Other explanatory variables include factors associated with the quality of life. (JEL RIO, R23)

Serving Those Who Served is a day of service created to thank service men and women, our veterans, and their families.
· Veteran's Designation on Illinois driver's license or ID CardsThe
veteran's designation will help ensure our military veterans receive
the services and benefits for which they are entitled. First, veterans
must visit their nearest IDVA Veteran Service Officer and get their
DD-214 certified. The former members of the Guard and Reserve will need
to provide different forms. Then the veteran may apply for a new,
renewal or updated driver's license or ID card at any Secretary of State
Driver Service's facility. There is no additional cost for first-time
driver's license applicants and renewals, but if veterans chooses to
update there's a small charge. For more information, veterans may
contact the IVDA at 1-800-437-9824 or visit www.illinois.gov/veterans.
Illinois Joining Forces (IJF) is a joint Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) and Department of Military Affairs (DMA) effort designed to better serve veterans, service members, and their families throughout the state. IJF will bring together, under a common umbrella, a field force of public, non-profit, and volunteer organizations in order to continually foster increased awareness of available resources and better partnership and collaboration between participating organizations. Illinois Joining Forces will establish a state-wide public and private organizational network that will identify, collaborate, and marshal available resources and services in order to create efficient access and delivery of these programs to the State's military and veteran communities.
Unlike many similar programs open to veterans, LifeNav is not focused on
remedial transition support, but rather provides a dynamic and
challenging experience that hones veterans' leadership capabilities to
help them navigate their next life chapter. Selected applicants receive
transitional training from professional development leaders from the
public and private sectors.This unique program consists of
pre-work, three interactive days onsite, followed by offsite, online,
and integrated learning components as well as individual coaching. Click

presented by the Illinois Department of Veterans' Affairs and in
partnership with Bunker Labs and the Veterans Leadership Council.

Donate to Veterans Cash
Now, Illinois citizens can contribute to Veterans Cash Grants year-round, not just when the Vets Cash lottery ticket is sold in stores each November! We have developed a site to facilitate contributions from Illinois citizens directly to the Illinois Veterans Assistance Fund (VAF), the same fund to which proceeds of the Illinois "Veterans Cash" lottery game are deposited. All monies contributed via this VAF link will be granted by the Veterans Cash Grant Committee to help Illinois veterans in the following areas of need: post-traumatic stress disorder, homelessness, long-term care, disability benefits, health insurance costs, and employment assistance. Grants are awarded to qualifying public and non-profit organizations serving veterans directly in these areas. We hope you will find this service convenient and easy to use. Thank you for your contribution to empower our veterans to thrive back here in Illinois as they did in uniform!

Posted 5.13.16 By Michael DeWitt
HAMPTON- Wake up, Watermelon Festival lovers! We've just been "blessed" with our first 90-degree days, and that means that local watermelons are growing on the vine and it's high time to get thinking about all the fun you will have at the upcoming 74th Hampton County Watermelon Festival, set for June 18-26. So King Watermelon Head here has some updates that will get your juices flowing and your "melon" thinking about the summer fun ahead!
Grand Marshals named
Powered by this year's theme, "Honoring Our Linemen: Those Who Light Up Our County," the Festival is pleased to announce two co-grand marshals for this year's festivities: Aron Winn, a senior lineman from Palmetto Electric Cooperative; and James Gordon, a senior lineman from South Carolina Electric & Gas (SCANA). Read more about these devoted, hard-laboring linemen in this year's official Watermelon Festival Program Book, and the Hampton County Guardian's annual Watermelon Festival section, both set to release in June.
Carnival will return
Thanks to the hard work of Festival Chairman Robert Brown and his fellow volunteers, and the generosity of the Town of Varnville, the Watermelon Festival Carnival will return! After a two-year hiatus due to the lack of a safe and suitable venue, the carnival will be held in a vacant lot near the Varnville Town Hall. And to add even more sweetness to this delightful watermelon news, the carnival is being planned as a week-long event to begin the first Monday of the festival! More details on this good news to come.
Watermelon royalty crowned
As you are out and about in the community, or if you know them personally, please congratulate the newly crowned Miss Hampton County 2016 Meagan Clifton and Teen Miss Hampton County 2016 Alexis Jarrell. They have both been notified of their honor this week and will be formally introduced to the Watermelon Festival Committee at its May 5 meeting. Congratulations, queens!
Watermelon Festival Book
As is festival tradition, the planning is underway for the publication of the 2016 Watermelon Festival Book, a souvenir that your mother probably kept and your grandmother and so on…. So if you would like to have any information, advertisements or photos placed in this year's commemorative book, please contact the festival committee via Facebook at "Watermelon Festival Book" or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
So that's enough festival news to plant a seed or two in your imagination. So until next time, keep on dreaming about those Watermelons, Watermelons, Watermelons!
74th Watermelon Festival planning underway
Posted 2.2.16
HAMPTON, SC- Even with snow in the air, the Hampton County Watermelon Festival Committee is "on top of it" with plans for the 74th Watermelon Festival scheduled for June 18th – 26th.
2016 Dedication
"For years, Palmetto Electric and SCE&G have been instrumental in the success of this Festival," said Festival Chairman Robert Brown. Brown continued, "These folks have donated money, entered floats in the parade, sponsored queens and worked with us on furnishing power wherever needed at any of our events. They have been of great service to us and now it is time to recognize them."
2016 Mud Run
After such a huge success in Yemassee with last year's Festival Mud Run, it looks like there will be a repeat performance in our southernmost community. The details haven't been worked out yet but all ends should be tied up soon.
2016 Street Dance
Bands have not been selected yet, but there is talk of revamping the Street Dance again. The idea floating around is that a country band may be added again on the end of Lee Ave. for 2016. A DJ will possibly still be used on or adjacent to Lee Ave. while the Beach/Top 40 band will still be on the Courthouse end of Lee Ave. There is talk of possibly moving the DJ to another location and night and having a "Teen Night" which the Festival sponsored many years ago. The jury is still out on this decision.
Misc. Issues
It looks like the Pet Show may be moved to Wednesday from Thursday. Judging by past numbers, many of the Pet Show spectators also attend the Battle of the Towns, which is immediately after the Pet Show. By moving it to Wednesday the Pet Show only competes with the Bluegrass Concert. The fit should be better as the Bluegrass crowd is usually a little older and the concert is held inside, while the BOTT is more of a family oriented outdoor event.
There is talk about a new Saturday Night dance event that at this time is only being discussed. Holding an event like this would probably mean an indoor venue such as the National Guard Armory. Again, this is all in the very early planning stages.
The Committee is looking into having free watermelon slices on Friday afternoon and all day Saturday at the Courthouse. The melons shouldn't be a problem, but the manpower may be. If you would like to volunteer to help with just this event, please contact a festival committee member or come to our next meeting. Maybe a church group or civic organization would like to help with this.
Palmetto Blue this year's Bluegrass Entertainment
Posted 4.6.16
HAMPTON, SC- Palmetto Blue has been chosen as the Bluegrass entertainment for the 74th Hampton County Watermelon Festival. The concert will take place on Wednesday evening, June 22nd, from 6:00pm until 8:00pm at Open Arms Fellowship Church on Highway 601 North in Hampton. Admission to the event is free.
More about Palmetto Blue
South Carolina Bluegrass Band PALMETTO BLUE is a blend of seasoned traditional music veterans mixed with the freshness of youthful band members who have been playing bluegrass music since their childhood. We are serious about having fun while passing along the tradition of our music. Our shows will surely entertain you with old favorites, lively fiddle and banjo tunes that make you want to dance and tap your feet, old time country songs, a capella trio songs, and new songs as well.
Our band members are no strangers to the traditional music scene. In the 1970s, Chris Boutwell was the lead singer and guitarist for the band High Country, which was the premier west coast bluegrass band and recorded several LPs in the early 1970s on the Warner Brothers label. You will be challenged to find someone who knows the lyrics to more bluegrass songs than Chris. Chris plays mandolin true to the tradition and style of the father of bluegrass, Bill Monroe. He also knows the history behind the songs he sings, and will give you a bluegrass history lesson if you're interested. Chris is the 2014 recipient of South Carolina's Folk Heritage Award for his dedication to preserving bluegrass music traditions.
Shellie Davis has been playing the bass and singing in bluegrass bands since she was 8 years old, and will delight you with her sweet vocals. Steve Willis plays banjo in the solid Scruggs style tradition. He learned banjo licks as a teenager from Little Roy Lewis, and won numerous banjo contests during his teens. Our guitarist, Ed Dalton has been playing bluegrass since his youth growing up in the Winston-Salem, NC area. He has won his share of guitar contests over the years, and since moving to South, Carolina, he has been a fixture on the bluegrass music scene.
Fiddler Ashley Carder learned from local SC fiddlers including Pappy Sherrill and Vernon Riddle, and has been playing a driving style of old time and bluegrass fiddle for over 30 years. Ashley was the 2012 recipient of South Carolina's Folk Heritage Award and has been a member of numerous bands over the years, including South Carolina bluegrass ambassador Bill Wells' band.
Our dobro player Dr. Larry Klein has been playing bluegrass music for over 40 years. Larry was the 2004 recipient of South Carolina's Folk Heritage Award for bluegrass advocacy, and has been a member of numerous bands over the years, including South Carolina bluegrass ambassador Bill Wells' band. Known as "Dr. Dobro", Larry has also been the host of the weekly SC ETV Radio Show, "The Bluegrass Sound" since the late 1980s.

Skip to comments.Dog People vs. Cat People: What Pet Preference Says About You
Posted on 03/10/2012 5:18:38 AM PST by Zakeet
click here to read article
My wife and I have cats and dogs,Our German Shepherds get along just fine with the cats.I think that the key to success with dogs is training and also temperment.We also have 7 horses,who get along fine with the cats,but don't think much of the dogs.A couple of the mares would love to kill the dogs if they got a chance.
Not if you take the time to really train them from kittenhood. My last cat, a big tough tom, was so good. If he started giving the table or the countertops the eye, all I had to do was make eye contact with him and say firmly, but not loudly, "No." And he would cease and desist.
BTW, it's also obvious that all this neediness is the Liberal trait and the cool cat people who are 'aloof' are obviously Conservative.
Cats are every bit as much family members as dogs. Every one I've ever had was extremely loving. And I've had them sit at the door and wait for me to come home-—and no, not for food, LOL.
Are you sure that you have them and not the other way around?
Dogs have owners, cats have staff.
A dog says my owner feeds me, shelters me, pets me, plays with me, and loves me; he must be a God.
A cat says my owner feeds me, shelters me, pets me, plays with me, and loves me; I must be a God.
Mainecoons are friendly and will "hang out" with you. Mine greets me at the door when I get home.
We have always had both until a few years ago when our last cat passed on. We decided to add a dog, but no more cats.
The reason no more cats:litter box, they run from and hide if they get outside, they get on tables and counters if you aren't home to tell them no, they scratch furniture, rugs, etc.
For a few years we only had cats, they don't replace a dog. Granted, dogs are more trouble for sure. You can leave a cat for a weekend with a huge bowl of food and water and they are fine. A dog, I don't think so unless you can train them to a litter box or leave them outside which I would never do.
LOL! A friend of mine had 2 of them. The female was okay, the male was the most insane dog I have ever seen in my life. He tried everything. Obedience classes, neutering, shock collars, the dogs was just crazy. He bit or tried to bite everyone, he was so hyper he bounced off walls. He finally got rid of him.
Yes, they do...I have been 'employed' by them in some capacity for over fifty years. Think I'll see so much as a watch or a gift certificate..?
I own a pug and they a definitely one of the dumbest creatures
I know several judges and they seem to think Irish Setters and Cavaliers are the dumbest.
Not all cats just purr. Have you ever heard a Siamese in heat?
Cute pics! The look well loved.
Well, I never spent any time around Irish Setters or Cavaliers so I can't comment. But I'm sure there is a certain level of dumbness that once you get to it's all a matter of opinion. LOL. But bet if they are as dumb as pugs they are just as loveable too!
the neediness is MUCH MORE related to
the degree of early childhood
This is the best book I know on the topic:
Attachments: Why You Love, Feel, and Act the Way You Do
When children don't receive SUFFICIENT-FOR-THE-INDIVIDUAL emotional bonding and love the first 6 or so years of life, the neediness holes never get filled and may even tend to get bigger. True for men and women. They show it differently.
As a psychologist . . . I'd probably say that over 30+ years of counseling and teaching . . . more women CAME ACROSS AS desperately needy than men.
Men are loathe to appear needy—particularly desperately needy—regardless of how needy they are. Men turn their neediness inward or to addictions or physical work or hobbies or sports.
Dogs are so annoying and need to be kept outside. They are always smelly and love to roll in dirt, they are needy, clingy and need to be let out all the time...not to mention they are slobs.
Ummm no! All dogs do NOT stink, only certain breeds. Mine have no odor whatsoever and they don't roll in the dirt. They are far from needy and clingy because they are an independent breed. Slobs? My dogs don't lick their smelly breath all over their body then get on the furniture or bed. Cat uses the litter box, licks itself all over, gets on the bed, lovely, now you get to lay in whatever it stepped on in the litter box and it's saliva.
We always had one or more cats until a few years ago. I don't hate cats, but come on......cats have their issues too.
Not if you take the time to really train them from kittenhood. My last cat, a big tough tom, was so good. If he started giving the table or the countertops the eye, all I had to do was make eye contact with him and say firmly, but not loudly, "No." And he would cease and desist.
I agree, that works with some, but not all, it depends on the cat. If you leave the house, they will all go where they aren't allowed and if you leave food on the counter, if you leave or turn your back, they're getting on that counter.
We used to have a Lilac point Siamese that was obsessed with corn on the cob. She just went crazy when she smelled it. If there was an ear left in the pan on the stove, and we didn't get to it before the water cooled, she would get it out of the water, and take it under the bed to eat it.
And Ive had them sit at the door and wait for me to come home-

LOL! Funny. I agree, if you're not around, they may just do what they want. Then again, so will some dogs.
I like cats, but they are rodents compared to dogs like the loyal German Shepherd
My lassie collie would wait at the fence line of our lane for me to come home from school. Never crossed the fence line. We didn't train that.
:O) Gus and Woodrow are very intelligent beings..Maggie probably drives them nuts..
My son use to have a parrot and a miniture poodle. They both barked and you couldn't tell which was the dog and which was the bird...
good one....
Barky likes dog just fine. That's the only meat he ate growing up in Indonesia. The mainstream media never brings that up. But if a Republican drove with a dog carrier on his car roof we never hear the end of it.
don't know any Cavaliers, but Irish Setters are dumber than a box of rocks...had one as a kid...beautiful but stupid...j
"my sister had a JR named Precious Kitty"
LOL, only doggie would tolerate a name like that!
Absolutely! Or tell you - in English - when they have to "GO", so you can place them in the appropriate spot to do just that? Or to ask - in English - for a kiss, for their favorite treat, for a scratch, to be picked up, or to be cuddled? The downside to all this is, the larger birds can have the intelligence of about a 7-year old kid, but the emotional maturity of a 2-year old. So it's like living with a highly intelligent 2-year old (and yes, they throw 2-year olds' tantrums, too).
My dog wouldn't shut up one night when my husband had left to fly across country for a new job. I stayed behind to sell the house which was located on a lonely mountaintop in Washington State in the woods. She finally got quiet, and I found the next morning that our garage had been burgled by thieves.
There is a reason when the barking doesn't stop.
I'm poly-petual. If its an animal pet, I love it.
These are just generalizations of both cats and dogs, and the people who prefer one over the other. There are of course always exceptions. Even to the point people have pets beyond the 2 choices of cats and dogs.
Quix! Now THAT looks like an interesting book to read!
Regarding this subject? I'm not gonna comment as I just am not.
Gotta go play with The Best Dog God Ever Made...
My 4 lb., seven months old female Yorkie, name is Prissy, is a house dog and smells sweet all the time and watches through the two glass doors to the outside and if anything moves, THEN she barks and runs to get me.
She also barks when we play, but that's it. She is calm but playful. She and I live alone and we love each other. She always wears a pink bow on the top of her head to hold her hair back out of her eyes.
A Yorkie's hair is more like human hair so it doesn't smell like regular dog hair. She also goes to the beauty shop once a month to keep tangles out of her long hair and have a nice doggy bath.
Nice looking dog!!!
Dogs are sure special.
Dad has a Blue Healer and a German Shepherd.
The Shepherd is absolutely beautiful. Could have a bit of red setter in him. A real rust red cast to his fur. Very stunning.
And he's super smart . . . and BIG.
Both of them insist on jousting with skunks. Not very smart.
>> There is a reason when the barking doesnt stop.
Then I guess the houses around us are getting burgled non-stop, every hour of the day and night — and have been for years.
I'd think there wouldn't be anything left to steal. But what do I know.
No, the simple fact is, barking dogs ARE NOT always barking for a reason. And a certain percentage of dog owners are inconsiderate jerks who don't give a hoot if their mutts drive everyone around them crazy.
Ferrets actually make fine pets for people who can't make up their mind between a cat and dog. They are somewhat less trainable and affectionate than a dog, but moreso than a cat. When it comes to rodent control, they have no equal.
Oh oh... I can sure see my older one doing that. The younger one would make friends or...run away in fear.
Yeah...that IS one fantastic breed...
Especially if you work with them.
I don't know why people think cats don't communicate. This one is a talker....both in voice and body language. If he wants to eat..he has a very low level meow, actually under his breath... and goes sits by his dishes, if he wants to play he does like wise and sits by his toys...if he wants to be left alone he chills out in the bedroom away from activity. Otherwise he has his own recliner.
If he wants to cuddle he sits on the cuddle blanket waiting for me to put in a movie...additionally he likes to watch computer videos...and lets me know he wants to picked up for that.
He also greats me when I get home. I thought maybe just for food until I deprived him of that and just sat petting him...he had a choice and stayed there.
It's been over a month since here and taken time to adjust...but he sure does know how to communicate... and play time he will play catch with his toys....brings them to me after to toss again. Also plays hide and seek...hilarious!
So I disagree...maybe he just thinks he's a dog!
Oh that is soooo true! The ONE rule I have for them they MUST NOT obey!
That's my Mary!! Whats up with that?
A big steamin' pile right there.
Very true. Cats seems to be on a "scale" from 1-10....1 being a cat, 10 being "like a dog".
It all depends on the cat. Me, I've had 3 freakos (lost my eldest last December).
I would range all three of them from a 1-2.
I didn't pick them. My first 2 were "given" to me (me or the shelter, as kittens) and my 3rd was a dumped house cat who I took in 3 winters ago from my backyard.
When I want some kittie love, I go upstairs to my landlords who has 2 cats that land on the 9-10 scale.
Well, I don't know. I love some dogs, not others, hate all cats, but am introverted, unsociable, schizoid, and have a terrible disposition. Love my birds, though, and have one of the longest living Cockatiels around.
My daughter had a couple of ducks that all the cats were terrified of...the horses didn't much care for the ducks, but when one of the horses had to go to U of M for a major problem, the remaining horse let the ducks in the arena...She was lonesome and cozy up to them...it was funny, she needed some friends and would follow them around when they came into her area.....

I've been using Bitcoin Qt on my work computer (my only working computer at the moment) but last week Windows 7 decided that the program's bypassing the firewall to download the blockchain was a security risk and blocked it from doing so. I'm not the network administrator and fiddling with the firewall settings I can access hasn't done anything. While it is absolutely possible that I am missing some obvious solution, I've given up on fixing this. what I'd like to do now is download another offline wallet - one that does not need the entire blockchain - and import my Qt backup. I've tried MultiBit & Electrum, neither of which seem to work (although, again, it is possible that I'm missing something). Is there another program I can use? Should I wait until my laptop is fixed and just re-install BTC Qt on that? Am I out of luck?
You can use PyWallet, a simple tool for exporting
Most wallets nowadays can import private keys, which give direct access to all the funds in your backed up wallet.
Any PC that can run any software that would be able to import
1) Put
2) Then use another console to do:
3) and then you can just export any of the keys you need, using:
If you don't have any password over your wallet, just skip point 2.

- As expected, Eurozone flash manufacturing PMI has edged up to a 29-month high of 51.5 in November from 51.3 in October.
- However, services slipped to 50.9 from 51.6 and missed consensus of 51.9.
- Composite output declined to 51.5 from 51.9 and fell short of forecasts of 52.
- Manufacturing output edged down to 52.8 from 52.9.
- "It looks like momentum is being lost again," says Markit. "Deflationary forces may be gathering," while growth outside the "big two" of Germany and France "slowed to near-stagnation." French activity actually contracted.
- Overall, the data is indicating that eurozone GDP will rise a "very modest 0.2%" in Q4, says Markit. The second-successive fall in PMI "suggests that the ECB was correct to cut interest rates to a record low at its last meeting."
- The euro is -0.1% at $1.3423. (PR)

- German flash manufacturing PMI has climbed to a 29-month high of 52.5 in November from 41.7 in October and topped consensus of 52.
- Services jumped to 54.5 from 52.9 and vs 53.
- Manufacturing output rose to 54 from 53.6.
- Composite output increased to 54.3 from 53.2.
- The data suggests that the German economy "is well on track to achieve growth of close to 0.5%" in 2013, says Markit.
- Strong new business and backlogs indicate that the solid growth momentum will be sustained, with improvements in investment spending and job creation set to follow the upturn in business conditions.
- The DAX is -0.8%, while the euro recovers its post French PMI losses and is -0.1%. (PR)

- Services dropped to 48.8 from 50.9 and vs 51.
- Manufacturing output declined to 47.2 from 49.
- Composite output slipped to 48.5 from 50.5.
- "The poor set of figures underline the fragility of the economy in the face of a persistently anemic demand environment," Markit says. "Although remaining above the levels seen in the first half of the year, PMI data highlight the risk of a return to recession for France in Q4 following the 0.1% fall in GDP during Q3."

- A tweet from Bloomberg saying the ECB is mulling a negative deposit rate as a way for more stimulus sends the euro (FXE -0.6%) lower by nearly 100 pips in a manner of minutes.
- The ECB, of course, surprised a few with a benchmark lending rate cut to 0.25% earlier this month (the deposit rate remained at 0%), then board member Peter Praet dropped a bombshell with the suggestion of Anglo-Saxon style QE coming to Europe.
- The moves have succeeded in weakening the euro from a lofty $1.38 to the current $1.3461.

- As expected, Eurozone CPI dropped 0.1% on month in October vs +0.5% in September.
- On year, inflation fell to +0.7% (also in line) vs +1.1% previously.
- Core CPI +0.8% vs +1%.
- Inflation fell further away from the ECB's target of just under 2%, possibly giving the bank even further room to cut interest rates to zero - although the German's would surely have something to say about that - following the surprise reduction last week to 0.25%. (PR)
- EU stocks are mixed heading towards midday following the Yellen-induced rally yesterday, with the EU Stoxx 50 -0.1%, London +0.3%, Paris flat, Frankfurt flat, Milan -0.7% and Madrid -0.1%.

- Eurozone Q3 GDP (Q/Q): +0.1% versus +0.2% expected and +0.3% previous.
- The euro (-0.3%) drops to session lows against the greenback on the news as investors view the weaker-than-expected data as evidence that the ECB will need to maintain an ultra-accommodative policy stance for the time being.

Nov. 13, 2013, 10:47 AM
- The euro (FXE -0.3%) tumbles 50 pips after ECB member Peter Praet - in a chat with the WSJ - suggests asset purchases or negative rates are tools the central bank could use if necessary to lift inflation up to its target. "If our mandate is at risk we are going to take all the measures that we think we should take to fulfill that mandate. That's a very clear signal."
- Challenging $1.40 not long ago, the euro has dropped to $1.3392 in the few days since a report showed inflation dipped to 0.7% in October, well below the ECB's 2% target.
- The ECB has since cut its benchmark lending rate 25 basis points to 0.25%. The deposit rate has been zero for some time.
- The easing stance of the ECB is off sharp contrast with the Fed and Bank of England, both of which are making noises about tighter policy.

Nov. 7, 2013, 7:57 AM
- The euro (FXE) dives more than 100 pips after the ECB somewhat unexpectedly cuts interest rates. The benchmark refinancing rate is cut 25 basis points to 0.25% and the marginal lending facility 25 basis points to 0.75%.
- The stage had seemingly been set for a rate change with a very slow inflation report last week and then the central bank slashing its growth forecast for the EU this week, but a leak yesterday said there would be no move.
- Down a bit earlier, European stock indices are now ahead by more than 1%. U.S. stock index futures also get a boost, the S&P 500 (SPY) now +0.4%.
- ECB chief Mario Draghi's press conference begins at 8:30 ET.

- The euro pops about 40 pips as what was always a small chance of an ECB rate cut tomorrow is squelched. The ECB wants to avoid over-reacting to fast-changing economic signals, reports Bloomberg, citing a source who mentions the Fed's taper fiasco from September.
- Amid these "signals" is a recent report showing an unexpectedly soft rate of European inflation. The European Commission yesterday slightly reduced its 2014 growth forecast for the eurozone.
- The euro (FXE +0.5%) is buying $1.3540.

Nov. 6, 2013, 7:00 AM
- German factory orders surged 3.3% on month in September, rebounding from a fall of 0.3% in August and slaying expectations for growth of 0.5%.
- On year, orders jumped 7.9% after climbing 3.1% a month earlier.
- Foreign bookings rose 6.8% in September, with eurozone demand climbing 9.7%, although domestic orders fell 1%. Still, foreign demand remains rather weak, Germany's Economy Ministry says. "The data confirm the picture of an increasingly domestically driven economic recovery."
- The data adds to PMI readings that show continued growth in overall German business activity.
- The euro spikes and is +0.2% vs the dollar, while the Dax is +0.4%.

- Boosted earlier in the week by a slow European inflation print, the dollar (UUP +0.6%) continues a nice run following a (barely) hawkish Fed Wednesday, and strong regional and national manufacturing data yesterday and today.
- The biggest move has come against the euro (FXE), where ECB rate cut hopes arise after EU annual CPI came in at just 0.7% in October vs. consensus 1.1%. Core CPI of 0.8% fell from 1% previously. Pushing $1.40 and having the bears avoiding margin clerks one week ago, the euro now is buying just $1.3485.

Oct. 25, 2013, 5:38 AM
- European stocks are mostly lower as sentiment is hurt by China's tightening of its cash markets, the negative impact of the strong euro on company earnings and a surprise fall in German business confidence.
- An increase in U.K. economic growth has not been able to totally offset the downbeat mood.
- EU Stoxx 50 -0.3%, London flat, Paris -0.4%, Frankfurt -0.1%, Madrid -0.7%, Milan -1.1%.

Oct. 24, 2013, 2:44 AM
- The euro has risen above $1.38 for the first time since November 2011 and is +0.4% at $1.3817, with the dollar continuing to be dragged down by expectations that the Fed will delay tapering its QE program until next year.
- The U.S. dollar index is -0.2%.

Oct. 2, 2013, 8:52 AM
- Euro area growth risks remain on the downside, says Mario Draghi at his press conference (webcast) following the ECB decision to leave policy unchanged. The most recent signs points to a somewhat weaker economy in Q3, he adds.
- In other comments, Draghi says there was a discussion of a rate cut and gives a nod towards a euro acting somewhat strong of late, saying the exchange rate is important for the growth outlook. He says he's "closely monitoring."
- For whatever reason, the euro (FXE) moves higher as the press conference moves on, now +0.3% at $1.3570.

Aug. 28, 2013, 7:38 AM
- The 10-year yield fell to as low as 2.70% overnight, but is currently 3 bps above yesterday afternoon at 2.74%. TLT -0.4% premarket.
- Europe's off moderately and Asia fell inline with yesterday's decline in the U.S., but crude oil surged more than $3 per barrel to $112 before falling back to just above $109 at the moment.
- The dollar (UUP) is stronger across the board, with the euro (FXE), cable (FXB), yen (FXY), swissie (FXF), and loonie (FXC) all off somewhere in the area of 0.5% against the greenback. As is typical of late, the aussie's (FXA) decline is somewhat higher, -0.8%.

- Moving along with the precious metals over Syrian tension is crude oil, with both WTI crude (USO) and Brent (BNO) up more than 1.6%. WTI at $107.50 per barrel is threatening to take out levels last seen in the Spring of 2011.
- The greenback is also catching a bid, moderately higher against the euro (FXE), cable (FXB), and the loonie (FXC), but sharply higher vs. the aussie (FXA). The dollar is losing a good bit of ground against the yen (FXY), and off just a bit vs. the Swiss franc (FXF).

Sales increases in novelty candy show no signs of ebbing, but many supermarket retailers only recently have begun to catch the wave of this profitable trend.

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) - No. 10 Auburn is trying to find a way to
start as well as it finishes.
The Tigers have had to climb out of double-digit holes in the
second half of the past two games and been dominant at times in
doing it.
But coach Gene Chizik said Tuesday the Tigers are still seeking
a game they "can really be proud of from top to bottom."
Luckily for the Tigers (4-0), those slow starts haven't cost
them a game yet. But they've raised plenty of questions, such as
how can a team be so utterly dominant during some stretches of the
second half and so hapless and ineffective for much of the first?
Chizik & Co. are still seeking answers going into Saturday's
game against Louisiana-Monroe (1-2).

It is now officially the week of Coldplay. I knew the album would be huge but it has seriously done better than anybody's expectations, and the week is not even over yet. It will for sure be the Sex & the City of the summer. Everyone is expecting it to do well, but this is just craziness. I think it might end up being the biggest debut at Amoeba ever. However, the most exciting release of the week for me would have to be the new Joy Division Documentary. Control really left me wanting more Joy Division in my life, and now I can finally have it.
There has not really been a good Joy Division documentary yet-- a least not one that I have seen-- so it is nice to finally have one on DVD. I just got the DVD yesterday but I have not had a chance to watch it yet, so I can't exactly talk all that much about it, but it is "Fantastic" according to Russ Fischer from Chud.com. This is the quote on the back of the DVD. I really hate quotes on the packaging of DVDs. At least CDS usually have little quotes on stickers on the outside of the plastic. I know they are great marketing tools but it really ruins the artwork. I should be happy at least they put the quote on the back of the DVD. I would think that they could get a quote from somebody more well known than chud.com... but I guess not. I had not really heard of chud.com, so this quote did not influence me to buy the dvd but it did make me check out their website. I might now be a fan of chud.com. I had been looking for some other movie blogs to check out and I think I might have found one. C.H.U.D. stands for Cinematic Happenings Under Development. It seems to be a website/blog for comic book and sci-fi/horror nerds, but I will have to do some more investigation. I do believe them though. I bet the DVD is fantastic. It includes the documentary with all the surviving members of Joy Division and also 75 minutes of additional interviews.

âThe Incrediblesâ is, quite simply, one of the best superhero books on the stands. Is it a cliché and a little lazy to say that sort of thing? Perhaps, but it doesnât make it any less true. Each issue is full of energy, excitement, fun, and the sort of superhero stories that any fan of the genre will love. This weekâs issue is no exception, featuring the beginning of the payoff to long-running subplot surrounding the Incrediblesâ villains, more giant robots than youâd expect, and some funny rants by the Underminer.
What impresses most about this issue of âThe Incrediblesâ is the pacing. To this point in the series, the pacing and structure has been very basic, but this issue works hard to construct a quick, cutting pace, jumping between various locations and characters to raise the tension. Beginning with Mr. Incredible and Frozone trying to save the city from the Underminer, the issue progresses to the unveiling of part of the villainsâ master plan as various plot points come together in one fantastic page. As the story approaches that page, the pacing becomes quicker and quicker, jumping from panel-to-panel, hitting the right beats and moments. Walkerâs writing becomes very concise, using dialogue carefully to build the tension and excitement.
Walkerâs character work is as strong as ever with funny lines. One of the funniest has to be one of the Underminerâs robots saying âSensors detect pain! Error!â as Mr. Incredible punches through it. The dynamic between Mr. Incredible and the other characters, like his wife, Frozone, and the Underminer, gets a lot of attention in this issue. Starting with the Underminer kicking the hero in the face repeatedly and continuing on to Frozone wanting to get his friendâs back after their fight a couple of issues ago, Mr. Incredible acts as the nucleus of the issue. Itâs an interesting choice and highlights his importance as head of the family/team.
Ramanda Kamarga and Marcio Takara provide light and breezy art that helps carry the quick, energetic pace of the issue. The line work is clear, concise, and minimalist, but uses some very dynamic angles to liven things up. Matching Walkerâs strong dialogue, the artists are very expressive with the charactersâ faces, helping to make the story seem more immediate and pressing. Like Walkerâs concise dialogue as the pace picks up, Kamarga and Takara work hard to make sure that the images are as clear and powerful as possible. One of the best pages is the aforementioned robot-punching image, because they accomplish so much: Bob punching the robot, while saying something to Helen who is stretching to stop the Underminer and talking to Bob. A lot is going on, but the pages never look cluttered or confused.
A fantastic mix of short stories and larger plot, âThe Incrediblesâ #14 shows both mixing and coming to a head at the same time. Thereâs a great mix of humor, action, and drama that focuses on the characters. Every issue is a joy to read and I canât wait until #15.

text: Posted July 3, 2012 MKG happens to be built a lot better than AD though. He tested with only 7% body fat and he has great weight and size for his position. Davis on the other hand is a little lanky for his position and does not have the muscle that say; someone like Bismack Biyombo has to help combat their limitations of a small frame. I know that in 2010, Kidd-Gilchrist suffered a leg injury but wouldn't come out of the game upon his coaches request because he is such a strong competitor. To my knowledge, this is the only injury that Gilchrist has encountered. I'm not comparing Gilchrist to Davis. PHILOSOPHICALLY, I'm comparing him to Gerald Wallace. I think it was that idiot Chad Ford who said that Gilchrist was always playing through some injury when he covered him in High School based on his style. Wasn't fully injured, but always had a bruise or a minor sprain, or something. That'll catch up to him eventually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Warhawk V1.4 to get free gameplay modes
Dylan Jobe has announced on the PlayStation Blog that a new update for Warhawk will be released on July 16, containing two new free gameplay modes called Collection and Hero.
Hero "is a team-based game mode in which one member of each team is randomly selected to be their team's Epic Hero. Players score points for their team by killing the enemy Hero or by killing enemies while they're the Hero. The team that reaches the score limit first (or has the most points when time runs out) wins the game."
Collection "is like multi-flag CTF. There are 4 energy cores scattered around the map, generally positioned in the centre or between the two team's main bases. Each team has a Reactor where Energy Cores are taken to score points."
