text: Since the analysis was chosen to be reassigned I've elected to write it. Im c/ping Ojama's skelly for now and I'll have it written up by next Thursday. [Overview] Great Base Stats all around Quite good typing especially the Grass Typing Awesome Ability Fantastic Movepool Can be used as a Defensive Pokemon (specially or physically) and an Offensive Pokemon Blocks some new threats like Keldeo, Thundurus-T, Sheer Force Landorus Good support options Access to Nasty Plot U-Turn weak Pursuit weak Has a small place in Volturn Tornadus-T weak name: Defensive move 1: Giga Drain move 2: Recover move 3: U-Turn move 4: Perish Song / Hidden Power Fire / Hidden Power Ice item: Leftovers nature: Calm evs: 252 HP / 244 SpD / 20 Spe [SET COMMENTS] Good check to many new offensive threats such as Keldeo, Thundurus-T and Sheer Force Landorus. Giga Drain is a STAB that gives you recovery and makes you not Taunt bait Perish Song gives Celebi a small niche to stop set up sweepers such as Reuniclus, Latias and SubDDNite Recover gives you life U-turn allows Celebi to build momentum while still being a defensive Pokemon HP Fire screws over Ferrothorn and Scizor Watchout though, HP Fire can't OHKO Scizor, you'll need a few damage on it before (Stealth Rock + U-Turn should be enough) Spread stops a 2HKO from Thundurus-T's LO Modest HP Ice 20 Spe for Magnezone Rest in HP and SpD because you need as much SpD as possible to handle Latios and Thundurus-T Lefties is your only item choice A Physically Defensive Set is also possible with a Bold Nature. [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS] Run more or max defense if your hate physics walls, the spread is pretty flexable Natural Cure helps a lot here Only use Stealth Rock if your team has no other user you can use Thunder Wave or even Psychic for the last slot Heal Bell Ferrothorn and Scizor screw you over without HP Fire so use something like Heatran, Skarmory or even Forretress. Works well with Entry Hazards since it has U-Turn Tentacruel is an interesting partner in Rain : it spins and sets up Toxic Spikes A Sassy Nature could be used there if you would like to hit a bit harder with U-Turn (against another Celebi for example). Evs in Speed would go in SpD / Def. Scarf Tyranitar is an amazing partner with U-Turn because Celebi attracts Lati@s, Gengar and traps them Gliscor is a good teammate since it handles Terrakion, Scizor and Stall Heatran very well Gastrodon and Heatran work well with Celebi because both can check quite well Tornadus-T and Genesect Skarmory counters Scizor and checks Terrakion + it can Spikes which is great against U-Turn users such as Genesect and Scizor [SET] name: Nasty Plot move 1: Nasty Plot move 2: Giga Drain move 3: Earth Power / Hidden Power Fire move 4: Psychic / Recover / Hidden Power Ice nature: Timid item : Leftovers / Life Orb evs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe [SET COMMENTS] Arguably the best pure offensive set Celebi can run NP boosts your SpA, allowing the sweep Giga Drain is a solid STAB and restores your health HP Fire because fuck you Steels Earth Power because fuck you Heatran Psychic because fuck you genies and Dragonite Recover because fuck you things that won't let Celebi restore health with Giga Drain Spread changed to be much more offensive, now you're not outsped by everything Spread can be changed to be more defensive (use Recover / HP Fire in this case with a Modest Nature). Hidden Power Ice to hit Dragonite, Hydreigon, Landorus, Tornadus-T etc [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS] Bulkier spread of 220 HP / 180 SpA / 96 Spe but a lot is faster no matter what you're always not gonna have coverage on something so there are good other moves Baton Pass Scarf Terrakion is still a good teammate here to get rid of genies and fast stuff and special walls (Blissey & Chansey) he also takes the Dark-type attacks Celebi hates Tentacruel has good synergy and can spin away hazards (only in Rain) Heatran for the Scizor weakness, Magnezone can fit here as well Scarf Tyranitar for Lati@s and Gengar Jirachi works well with Wish and it can also handle Tornadus-T, Genesect, Lati@s and Gengar Leaf Storm can be used over Giga Drain for more power [SET] name: Offensive move 1: Leaf Storm move 2: Hidden Power Fire move 3: Earth Power / Psychic move 4: U-turn / Recover / Thunder Wave item: Life Orb nature: Timid / Modest evs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spe [SET COMMENTS] Leaf Storm is an awesomely powerful STAB move to be used like DM would be on a Dragon HP Fire is to take out Steels not named Heatran Earth Power is for Steels named Heatran Psychic is a reliable STAB move without the -2 SpA effect U-turn is a good scouting move Thunder Wave gives Celebi some support options Recover is awesome and heals off the LO recoil Life Orb is great for Celebi (who doesn't have the greatest SpA) I kept the EV spread because I honestly couldn't think of a better one [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS] Lefties lets you live longer Giga Drain is a more reliable STAB move use Scarf Terrakion with this, trust me Deoxys-D for Hazards Watch out for Heatran if you don't carry Earth Power HP Ice really won't do much to 2x Dragons, so don't overestimate it 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe w/ Timid Bulkier spread running 36 Spe, 252 SpA, 220 Spe (use Thunder Wave in this case) Stealth Rock is an option over U-Turn or Earth Power Scarf Tyranitar [SET] name: Baton Pass move 1: Baton Pass move 2: Calm Mind / Nasty Plot move 3: Giga Drain move 4: Substitute / Hidden Power Fire item: Leftovers nature: Calm evs: 252 HP / 224 SpD / 32 Spe [SET COMMENTS] Calm Mind > Nasty Plot, since it is much easier to pass CM boosts than NP boosts. 101 HP Sub makes Chansey / Blissey set-up fodder and protects the CM recipient on the turn of Baton Pass Substitute also blocks Dragon Tail - Careful Dragonite's Dragon Tail does not break Celebi's Substitute. After 3 CMs, not even Rain Tank's Hurricane would break Celebi's Substitute most of the time. Specially Defensive spread makes setting up CMs on special sweepers much easier. HP Fire can be used over Substitute to take out Skarmory before it can phaze Celebi's special attack boosts. Many Rain Pokemon are set-up fodder for Celebi [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS] Thunder Wave gives it 25% fp chance of BP success against phazers, and it's a generally good utility move. Earth Power to dispatch Heatran, which may phaze Celebi 84 SpA to OHKO specially defensive Heatran with a +2 Earth Power or a physically defensive Skarmory with a +2 HP Fire 72 Spe to beat Modest Heatran to the punch. Swords Dance & Seed Bomb / Zen Headbutt to pass Atk boosts Magic Coat / Espeon to cockblock phazers Recover to keep it healthy Rain support is nice to ensure Leftovers recovery and halving Fire moves. Obviously Celebi wouldn't use HP Fire in this case. Special sweepers that benefits from a few SpA boosts, such as Thundurus-T, Keldeo, Starmie, Latios, Volcarona. Wish Passer / Heal Wisher, such as Jirachi to keep Celebi healthy. Teammates that can deal with Scizor, PSong Celebi, Volcarona, and Tornadus. Heatran is a good answer to many of them; Scizor can Pursuit-trap Celebi / Tornadus; Jirachi is the best answer to Tornadus; Gyarados checks Scizor & Volcarona. [SET] name: Choice move 1: Leaf Storm move 2: Hidden Power Ice / Hidden Power Fire move 3: Earth Power / Psychic move 4: U-turn / Trick item: Choice Scarf / Choice Specs nature: Timid evs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe [SET COMMENTS] Scarf is revenger Leaf Storm is the omnipresent awesome STAB HP Fire breaks Steels HP Ice breaks Dragons and can actually do something to 2x with Specs Earth Power breaks Heatran Psychic is a strong STAB U-turn is great for scouting Trick screws with Blissey / Chansey / stall mons Timid to tie with +100's Offensive spread [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS] Modest for more power for the Choice Specs Fine tune the spread to be bulkier for the Choice Specs Use hazards with this Giga Drain is a more reliable STAB for the Choice Specs Terrakion is good with this Spin away hazards because Celebi will be switching in alot, Starmie can do this well [Other Options] Swords Dance SubSeed Calm Mind Dual Screens Perish Song Healing Wish Stealth Rock Trick Room [Checks and Counters] Faster stuff with strong SE STABs (Tornadus-T, etc.) in general Tornadus-T Tornadus Kyurem in hail Sun teams Heatran Salamence / Dragonite if you lack HP Ice Hydreigon Scarf Heracross Lati@s Scizor U-turn Pursuit X-Scissor on anything that gets it Skarmory without Hidden Power Fire Tyranitar Genesect

I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban (Large Print / Paperback)
On Our Shelves Now
"I come from a country that was created at midnight. When I almost died it was just after midday."
When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education.
On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she almost paid the ultimate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school, and few expected her to survive.
Instead, Malala's miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York. At sixteen, she became a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest nominee ever for the Nobel Peace Prize.
"I AM MALALA "is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism, of the fight for girls' education, of a father who, himself a school owner, championed and encouraged his daughter to write and attend school, and of brave parents who have a fierce love for their daughter in a society that prizes sons.
"I AM MALALA "will make you believe in the power of one person's voice to inspire change in the world.
About the Author
A l age de onze ans, Malala Yousafzai racontait sa vie de petite fille pakistanaise sous le joug des talibans dans un blog pour la BBC en ourdou. Protegee par le pseudonyme de Gul Makai, elle evoquait souvent le combat de sa famille pour l education des filles. A partir de 2011, elle se voit decerner de nombreuses distinctions, notamment le prix international des enfants pour la paix et, en France, le prix Simone de Beauvoir pour la liberte des femmes. A travers le Fonds Malala, elle continue de promouvoir l acces a l education pour tous les enfants non scolarises autour du monde.
Christina Lamb is US editor for the Sunday Times. In 2009 she was awarded the prestigious Prix Bayeux Calvados for her reporting from Afghanistan. She won the Foreign Press Association Award for Story of the Year in 2007, and was also named Foreign Correspondent of the Year. She is the author of the best-selling The Africa House, The Sewing Circles of Herat, and I Am Malala, co-authored with Malala Yousafzai.
Praise For…
"The touching story will not only inform you of changing conditions in Pakistan, but inspire your rebellious spirit."—Matthew Love, Time Out New York
"Ms. Yousafzai has single-handedly turned the issue of the right of girls--and all children--to be educated into headline news. And she is a figure worth hearing."—Isabel Berwick, Financial Times
"Wise beyond her years...."—Annie Gowen, Marie Claire

Ride Along
- Air Date:
- Kevin Hart and Ice Cube lead the lineup in Ride Along, the new film from the director and the producer of the blockbuster comedy Think Like a Man. When a fast-talking guy joins his girlfriend's brother—a hot-tempered cop—to patrol the streets of Atlanta, he gets entangled in the officer's latest case. Now, in order to prove that he deserves his future bride, he must survive the most insane 24 hours of his life. For the past two years, high-school security guard Ben (Hart) has been trying to show decorated APD detective James (Cube) that he's more than just a video-game junkie who's unworthy of James' sister, Angela (Tika Sumpter). When Ben finally gets accepted into the academy, he thinks he's earned the seasoned policeman's respect and asks for his blessing to marry Angela. Knowing that a ride along will demonstrate if Ben has what it takes to take care of his sister, James invites him on a shift designed to scare the hell out of the trainee. But when the wild night leads them to the most notorious criminal in the city, James will find that his new partner's rapid-fire mouth is just as dangerous as the bullets speeding at it.

Software engineer for the New York Times.
I am a web developer working primarily with Python web services.
Presently working in Platform Technologies @NYTimes on the Recommendations Engine.
My main focus in development is innovation. I believe in working hard at understanding core concepts under the hood, even if that occasionally means 'wasting time' (your mileage may vary) on reinventing the wheel. More than anything else I appreciate the sense of community that pervades this profession.

Hey guys.
I have my site set up and plan on having a blog as part of the site. It is a product my company is selling and marketing.
I want to have both the selling/contact us/products/prices and planning/about - all on the site and also a section called "blog" for all my blog posts relating to the product.
Many sites already do this.. I have been searching online and cannot find a solution specifically for this.
Help would be very much appreciated!

Looking for a different color? Place a custom order.
All our hair is measured when straight. If selecting a 22" Curly, it's actual visible length will most likely curl up to 18" to 20". Please keep this in mind when planning for your hairstyle and making your purchase.
At Perfect Locks, since all of our hair is Single Drawn hair, meaning it's natural from root to tip, we give you an extra 2 inches of length to account for any natural length variation. Most customers love the natural ends, but we have those who like to snip covered.
When selecting hair, please note the type of hair extensions will have an impact on where the hair will fall. For example, Cli-Ins can be placed strategically, where a Lace Closure is placed up top on your crown.
A nice ponytail can make a good woman great. Match your natural hair and texture with a wide selection of easy to install pony's. Just clip it in and wrap with the velcro strap. Available in straight, wavy, and curly in multiple color options.
Longevity, durability, and flexibility is the name of the game.
Spend your time styling and impressing, not detangling and frustrated.
Hand-crafted with care in India and triple inspected in California.
There are Clip-In Ponytails, and there is our Clip-In Ponytail. We use the highest quality Remy human hair for the most realistic ponytail ever.
Use #myPerfectLocks on Instsgram for a chance to get featured
Place your hair in a ponytail. Once secured, take the Velcro lined single strand hair piece, and begin to wrap around to conceal the base of your pony tail!
This will hold onto your hair and give you the natural effect. The banana clips can also break easily or crack.
Yes you can apply heat and style as desired. We just recommend that you use low heat when using heat tools.
When doing any color service to the hair, perform a test strand first to see how the color processes with your formula being used. Once you confirm the results and processing time are correct than you can carry on with the full application of color desired. Keep in mind that the lighter you go it may slightly loosen the hair's natural curl pattern. This is something you can check for after completing your strand test as well.

When you are the only employee of your business, how do you know when it is time to hire additional staff?It's easy if you think about the role of the CEO. As the head person, your job is to be the visionary, drive revenues and grow the business. You're also the face and brand of the business, so you have to be out there making new contacts, following leads and driving things forward. If you're taking so much time performing administrative tasks that you're not out there selling your product or service, it's time to look for help. Most businesses start out as one-person operations and just about any entrepreneur worth their salt will believe they can handle every single aspect of their business. But there comes a time when if that entrepreneur doesn't start letting things go to focus on the big picture, it could cost the company growth opportunities.
2 Responses to "When you are the only employee of your business, how do you know when it is time to hire additional staff?"
Thanks for the tip, it can be hard to let go of your "baby" and trust your ideas to someone else but if it means growing your company it is a step you must take.
If I have too many pendants and time isn't enough is the time to get help with specific functions to make their job productive.

I need make COM server in unmanaged C++, and COM client in C#. I found tutorial COM Hello World in C++ ( http://antonio.cz/static/com/5.html ). Page is in Czech language. COM server shows MessageBox with text "Hello world" after call function Print() from IHello interface. Source code is here: http://antonio.cz/static/com/Hello.zip . The archive contains source code of the COM server and COM client in C++ and it works.
But my C# COM client doesn't work. It is a C# console application with reference to "Interop.Hello.dll". I make the interop dll with command:
tlbimp Hello.tlb /out:Interop.Hello.dll
C# code:
static void Main(string[] args)
Interop.Hello.IHello Hello = new Interop.Hello.CHello();
But C# client throws exception:
Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type
'Interop.Hello.CHello'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the
COM component for the interface with IID '{B58DF060-EAD9-11D7-BB81-000475BB5B75}'
failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from
HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).
I tried load COM server from Visual Basic too. And it works. I made console application in VB with reference to "Interop.Hello.dll".
VB code:
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim ic As Interop.Hello.CHello
ic = CreateObject("MyCorporation.Hello")
End Sub
End Module
I debugged COM server when was loading from C# client. The method QueryInterface() return S_OK when in variable "riid" is IHello interface guid.
Any ideas why C# code doesn't work?

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Derek Hough in Diesel Jogg Jeans
Derek Hough was photographed sipping on a smoothie while leaving a local juice bar. While running errands, Derek wore a pair of Diesel Jogg Jeans with a tee shirt.
We haven't seen too many celebrities out in Diesel's Jogg jeans, which surprises me a little. I figure since they're made of a sweat pant like material, they'd be more popular with celebs who don't want to dress up while running around town. What do you think of these sweat pant-like jeans?
Olivia Wilde in Diesel Jeans
Olivia Wilde and her fiance Jason Sudeikis were snapped while doing some shopping together in Los Angeles. The couple just returned from a Hawaiian vacation.
Olivia wore a pair of Diesel skinny jeans with a Junk Food Clothing NY Knicks T-Shirt and boots. We don't see too many female celebrities on the blog wearing Diesel, but Olivia has actually been spotted out in a Diesel denim jacket before. One thing I really like about these is the pocket placement and how they are square shaped, I think it is flattering on Olivia.
Bradley Cooper in Diesel Jeans
Bradley Cooper poses for cameras while promoting his film, Silver Linings Playbook in Madrid. Bradley's costar in the film, Jennifer Lawrence, won a Golden Globe this past weekend for her role in the movie.
For his promotional duties, Bradley wore a pair of slim cut Diesel jeans with a sweater and button down. I find his style to be very preppy and classic, but he always looks very well put together! You can buy Diesel jeans online from SSENSE.
Skinny Jeans For Men
Skinny jeans for men have come a long way since the trend kicked off over 5 years ago. Yes, it has been a staple for many for that long. The fit is not as generic as it was before. Now the styles come in a range of fits between straight to super slim and in an array of colors as well as prints now. I have put together some great fits and washes for you guys from the new 2013 collections. Click through to see our favorite choices for this season below.

I'm using rsync to back up folders from my iMac to a WD MyBook and the process seems to leave files such as these:
The last one is the most common, finding one in each folder at times. The others (shadows of other files judging by the extensions) not so common but when I find them there are multiples in the same folder. A one off so to speak.
I read somewhere some time back, but can't find it, that it may actually have something to do with the mode I am accessing the MyBook with. eg. SMB rather than .. and here's where my recall fails me.
EDIT: ok I've found the other means of access, particular to OSX it seems:
AFP - Apple Filing Protocol
EDIT: they also seem to defy deletion, in some cases. but on discovering the AFP access I think that might be the access that allows me to delete them (with less messing around).
ok, I couldn't find at first because I had been deleting them,manually so I was in the process of doing another rsync to see if I could reproduce; I noticed in the file build list (for a dry run) that I had one on the local HDD!
"Get info" tells me it's a "Unix Executable". The file was in a hidden ".AppleDouble" folder. When I put that to the "file <>" test you asked for it told me:
_VUC69~7: AppleDouble encoded Macintosh file.

Phoenix Suns
Suns' Dudley to miss second straight game
Playing the NBA's number-one team is tough enough, let alone doing so minus your second-best shooter and third-leading scorer.
Yet that is what the Suns face Monday when they host the 29-8 Oklahoma City Thunder.
"I just think right now it wouldn't be in the best interest of the team for me to go tonight," Jared Dudley said following shoot-around Monday.
Dudley did not play Saturday at Chicago after hurting his right wrist the game before at Brooklyn. He got a finger stuck inside Nets guard Joe Johnson's jersey, causing some swelling on top of the hand.
Dudley said the swelling has gone down some allowing him to rotate his wrist more, but he still can't bend it all the way back.
"It's just more when I put pressure, dribbling the ball, shooting (the ball) from long distance (the hand) hurts," he said.
"If I think I could help the team be effective I would be out there. I think today, if I was open in the corner not being able to shoot 3s and it hurting, I wouldn't want to put my team in jeopardy."
With Dudley sidelined, Shannon Brown will make his second straight start at shooting guard.
"Another day of rest," Dudley said, "and then we don't play until Thursday so I can get two days of practice and strength stuff and hopefully more time to heal."
Dudley, averaging 12.1 points shooting 48.5 percent, did not appear to be missed when the Suns beat the Bulls to end their five-game losing streak.
"Never not worried," he said with a smile, "because I'm always the top cheerleader on the team."

Despite giving the matter consideration, Latics elected not to appeal Wesolowski's red card for kicking out at Scunthorpe's Damien Mozika during Tuesday's 2-2 draw and the midfielder must now begin a three-match ban.
In the same match, winger Montano suffered a torn thigh muscle and boss Paul Dickov fears a lengthy lay-off.
"He's going to get a scan on Friday," he said. "At the minute it's looking as if it's going to be weeks rather than days. We just need to get the scan done to get confirmation of how long he's going to be."
Robbie Simpson returns from suspension and is expected to feature in midfield alongside Dean Furman - the Oldham skipper playing his final game before departing to represent South Africa in the African Nations Cup.
With an eye on the midfield shortage and the congested fixture list his squad have endured in recent weeks, Dickov took the precaution of only allowing eight players to train on Thursday morning, including two goalkeepers.

CUPERTINO, Calif. – July 9, 2009 – Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq: SYMC) today announced it was awarded a combined total of $18.6 million in damages in cases brought against two distributors selling counterfeit Symantec software throughout North America.
The first judgment of $9.7 million was handed down by the United States District Court for the Northern District of California in San Jose in favor of Symantec against V-Micro, Inc., a New Jersey-based organization. The second judgment of $8.9 million was handed down by the United States District Court for the Central District of California Western Division in Los Angeles in favor of Symantec against Connecticut-based Higher Model Computer, LLC.
"The size of these judgments reflects the scope of these two particular operations and the number of unsuspecting users that were put at risk for acquiring fraudulent software from these distributors," said Joy Cartun, senior director, Symantec Legal Department. "In many cases, people turn over their financial information to disreputable businesses in exchange for products that don't work and can make their computers more vulnerable to virus attacks and other online threats. Counterfeit software also is more likely to contain spyware, which after installation can steal personal and confidential information from someone's computer without their knowledge. While the judgments are significant, the more important point is that these businesses no longer pose a counterfeit software threat to Symantec's customers."
Symantec filed each case in federal court and included claims alleging copyright and trademark infringement and fraud against both operations for selling counterfeit Symantec products such as Norton SystemWorks, Norton AntiVirus, Norton Ghost, and pcAnywhere.

Brazilian Real Posts the Biggest Weekly Increase in a Month
Brazil's real posted the biggest weekly gain in a month as increased investor confidence in global economic growth boosted demand for emerging-market currencies.
The real gained 0.5 percent this week, the most since the period ended Feb. 4, to 1.6546 per U.S. dollar at 4 p.m. New York time. Twenty-three of 25 emerging-market currencies tracked by Bloomberg gained against the dollar this week.
The currency erased gains today, dropping 0.3 percent, after Sao Paulo-based news service IG reported on its website the government may introduce new measures next week to curb the real's appreciation, without saying where it obtained the information.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke testified before the U.S. Congress this week that there are "grounds for optimism" about the country's labor market in coming months.
Initial jobless claims declined last week to the lowest level since May 2008, the U.S. Labor Department said yesterday. The unemployment rate in the world's biggest economy fell to 8.9 percent in February, the lowest level in almost two years, according to data released today by that department.
U.S. Data
"The markets are optimistic in general," Reginaldo Galhardo, foreign exchange manager at Treviso Corretora, a Sao Paulo-based brokerage, said in a telephone interview. "The U.S. data came in good."
Brazil's central bank continued this week to buy dollars and make bets against the real in the futures market as part of an intervention effort to curb the appreciation of the currency. Policy makers said they twice bought the U.S. currency in both the forward and spot markets today. The real has gained 40 percent since the end of 2008, the most among emerging-market currencies tracked by Bloomberg during that period.
Finance Minister Guido Mantega together with the country's central bank are studying possible measures to curb the currency's appreciation, wrote Guilherme Barros, a columnist at IG on the news service's website. The government may announce new tactics, including an increase of a tax on foreign fixed income investments and stricter controls of foreign capital, on March 9 or 10, Barros wrote.
The central bank declined to comment in an e-mailed statement. The Finance Ministry also declined to comment, according to a spokesperson, who asked not to be named because of internal policy.
The yield on the interest-rate futures contract due in January 2012 rose 2 basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 12.57 percent today. The yield on the contract fell 4 basis points this week.

This problem baffles me. I am testing some Haskell bindings to OpenGL, I create a vertex shader, a fragment shader, compile the program, and draw a textured rectangle to the screen after transforming the vertices... except the screen is blank.
When I render the rectangle flat white instead of using a sampler in the fragment shader, it works fine. When I go into gdebugger and use the option to replace all textures with a stub texture, it also works fine.
When I look at the allocated textures in gdebugger, there are no texture objects, only the default 2d texture. When I set a breakpoint on glTexImage2d, I see that it is being called, but no texture object appears in memory when I peek at it with gdebugger.
What's going on? Am I forgetting to set some environment variables? I'm quite frustrated. The kicker is that I had this problem before, and I managed to fix it then, but I forgot what the problem was. I hate myself >_>

EA Sports just dropped a new trailer for Madden NFL 25 that highlights the defensive mechanics in the game. The footage is dominated by commentary from San Francisco 49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman, but you'll want to read the subtitles to learn more about the new gameplay dynamics
Madden 25 includes a revamped Hit Stick ability, which makes your target more likely to fumble if they're using a precision modifier when you smash into them. There's also a new Heat Seeker Tackling function for those who prefer a button-based approach, as well as a new dive tackle that helps you catch runners and trip them up from behind.
Madden NFL 25 hits stores on August 27th and it is definitely on our preview agenda for E3 2013 next month.

I host several websites and really appreciate how awesome wordpress is. Lately I am noticing numerous brute force attempts to log in to these sites. I know there are plugins that can prevent this (one of them screwed up an MU install for me last week) but I wonder; why isn't this built in? Limit users to 1 request per 5 or 10 seconds or so, that would probably be a big help!

The New Preppy: Do it your way
I was never a big fan of "Preppy." It was always a tad too uptight for me.
But Prep style is a making a comeback. This "New Preppy" (most notably detailed in "True Prep: It's a Whole New Old World" by Lisa Birnbach - an update to the classic "Official Preppy Handbook") has a look I can embrace because it's more about adapting the rules rather than following the rules while at the same time still looking sharp and clean and classic, which is the core of real prep style anyway. (And perfect for summer when you don't want anything fussy).
But, as I said, me= not so preppy (I am not the only one) mostly because I think pink and green look hideous together, those people in the LL Bean catalogs didn't look like anyone I knew and frankly I hate anything that comes with a rule book. That's why right off the bat when I saw this Tommy Hilfiger shrunken madras plaid blazer (in what I would call faded neons, you can call it whatever you like) I had to wear it with a gold metallic bow tie blouse, thusly ...
[caption id="attachment_74436" align="aligncenter" width="560" caption="Preppy my way"][/caption]
See here is why it's preppy and here is why it works:
1) Madras plaid is preppy; It's included in every preppy tip sheet as being a summer staple.
2) Classic shapes: Pointed toe pumps, blazer jacket, bow tie blouse - all of them fall into the category of clean, classic silhouette, which is a bonafide prep characteristic. It's just the colors of this outfit that fall outside the normal prepster parameters.
3) Why does it work (for me, that is)? Because it looks like something I'd wear even if it's in a genre I do not normally favor. The key is to adapt pieces of styles into your own aesthetic and have fun doing it - sort of like my idol blogger The Man Repeller does here.
So, what is new preppy? Less uptight, re-imagined in more modern ways. Take for instance the prep staple Sperry Topsider Boat shoes, which now come in a variety colors and materials from neon yellow to metallic gold to black patent...
The New Preppy look includes much of the old prep look: clean silhouettes, sharp lines and classic accessories. But it's looser, a bit off with asymmetric striped sweaters and leopard print boat shoes. Add some reliables such as Wayfarer style sunglasses and a ribbon band watch, and you are set.
For my money it's the basic preppy aesthetic - clean lines, natural materials, classic shapes - that makes preppy so right for summer and so right for now. That core style showed up at Spring/Summer 2012 runway shows:
Richard Chai Love took classic button up shirts, Anorak jackets and Bermuda shorts in a new direction with color and print:
Tibi re-imagined the Polo/Tennis dress into something the color of the sea and for my money, imminently more feminine and stylish while also giving the short suit new life in pared down chambray :
3.1 Philip Lim turned tennis whites into day-time and evening prep-wear:
But My Life In Shoes, you ask, what am I supposed to do with all those boho looking maxi skirts, palazzo pants, printed/colored jeans and stuff you told me I HAD TO HAVE FOR SPRING AND LAST SUMMER?!?
Well, first, what's up with the attitude? Second, you can just call me "Shoes" if you want, we're friends. And finally, you can work previous summer purchases in with preppy items like this ...
What to do with those maxis you bought last summer? Give them a preppy update. Pair your striped maxi skirt with a clean white Anorak (the symbol of the privileged prepster), a fun T-shirt and add a twist of punk with a leather wrap bracelet. Wear a New Preppy cropped trench over your floral patio dress. Carry a classic LL Bean canvas tote with both.
Think palazzo pants are a tad too floaty and Cigarette pants are too bad girl chic to be preppy? Think again. By adding preppy classics like a raspberry Polo shirt, clean navy blazer, a leather work-ready tote (totes are a veeeeery preppy shape) and classic electric blue pumps you have successfully updated your skinny cropped pants. Throw a boat necked striped T-shirt (very prep) over your printed palazzos, cover with a school boy blazer and wear Sperry Topsider woven wedges, et voila!
Ciao for now ...

| funnygirl00 chapter 100 . 11/23/2014
Oh, drat it! Things were going so well. Now, I've got to wait for that next chapter! I hope that Guthwyn allows Legolas to have that dance after that moment.
| Sage94 chapter 100 . 11/23/2014
Really intriguing ending to your 100th chapter for this story :) what an accomplishment.
The part where Guthwyn was worrying over Arwen and Haiweth was cringeworthy, because I wish she could be more accepting to Haiweth growing up (Even though it's understandable). Your characterization is amazing. You write flawed characters really well.
I'm pumped to see what happens for the rest of the evening
| gginsc chapter 100 . 11/23/2014
Sheesh! I'm getting really sick of this dance! Guthwyn will die of old age before she admits she loves Legolas.
| ZabuzasGirl chapter 100 . 11/22/2014
uh oh!
Update immediately, please!
| Doll-Fin-Chick chapter 99 . 11/3/2014
Confirmation at LAST of Legolas' thoughts! :D I love love love this chapter. Everything I wanted to see in this chapter was in it and more! I was thinking 'Oh they match' and then you wrote it 3 and Thranduil is amusing. (Plus TAURIEL! omg) Everyone but Legolas and Guthwyn seems to know. Now all we need is Gimli, Aragorn, and the Hobbits weighing in on the issue :3
All fangirled out over the chapter. I can't wait to see the next!
| Kiiimberly chapter 99 . 11/3/2014
Thanks for updating anolinde. It's kind of frustrating how both won't say anything about their feelings. The red-head I'm guessing is Tauriel?
| Brynhilda chapter 99 . 11/2/2014
Wow, what a party !
Elves are really the best when it comes to smoothly cater a successful event. :-)
No rude Gondorian nobles, no bad people from Dol Amroth, a beautiful scenery, food and merriment everywhere : who could ask for more ?
So, the little green monster is slowly creeping into Guthwyn's mind with Tauriel's appearance, and will be later, I suppose, into Legolas's mind as well, with the announced scene with Halwend and Merry. Hehe :-)
In this chapter, I feel quite bad for Legolas, who looks almost ashamed by the depth of his feelings for Guthwyn. Given the fact that elves love just once in their long life, it's just sad to repress it so much. Of course Guthwyn is not the easiest lady to court, but please don't make Legolas suffer too much, he already has a difficult father to deal with :-P
Honestly, as your description of the seating arrangements is very detailed, I had to grab a sheet of paper to write down the positions of all the mentioned characters around a rectangular table, starting with Thranduil and Legolas. As far as I read the story, I thought the arrangements were just perfect. But something isn't right at the opposite end of the table, I just can't place Haiweth, Cobryn and the three elves with the rest. Who is sitting on Faramir's left and on Haiweth's right ? Sorry for maybe going too far into the fantasy, your writing is so rich that I can almost imagine everything as if I was there... ;-)
Thank you again for the super nice chapter, and please update soon !
| gginsc chapter 99 . 11/2/2014
HA! HA! Will Guthwyn finally wake up? Poor Legolas!
| Midknight911 chapter 99 . 11/2/2014
Yay, Tauriel finally makes her appearance. Although she did not have any lines this chapter I know that her appearance and what she has to say will effect Gúthwyn and her interactions with Legolas. Plus it's nice to have a bad-ass female character, especially since Gúthwyn seems to be dropping the ball on that one since she stopped sparring like she used to.
Aww I think Leggy hurt Guthy's feelings when he ignored her, too bad she didn't know it was so she wouldn't be scared off. I think we need more insight courtesy of the adorable Elfwine. Also I think Gúthwyn introducing Halwend to Merry is gonna bring out Legolas' jealous side which will, in turn, make Tauriel talk to him about it.
Well wonderful chapter and, as always, i shall await the next with bated breath.
| ZabuzasGirl chapter 99 . 11/1/2014
Update immediately, please!
| Adaneth Dinen chapter 98 . 10/18/2014
You are an amazing writer, and I have absolutely loved reading your story! You have no idea how much I've been freaking out about Legolas and Gúthwyn; I love the relationship that they've formed, especially since they had a bit of a rocky start (to say the least). Please please update soon! I really want to know how everything works out!
| Kiiimberly chapter 98 . 10/16/2014
Thanks for updating anolinde. I think Hammel finally got what was coming to him. I'm really curious when he started to change (as well as Haiweth). The saddest thing is that they have no idea what Guthwyn has done for them. Looking forward to the next chapter!
| gginsc chapter 98 . 10/13/2014
Guthwyn is so blind! What is wrong with those children? After all she has done for them they are so ungrateful! The boy seems to hate her. What is his problem?
| jingle-bitch chapter 98 . 10/13/2014
Good chapter. Yet it is starting to annoy me how clueless Guthwyn is.
| Brynhilda chapter 98 . 10/12/2014
Wow, you're just weaving us the event of the year in all of Middle-Earth !
I really would like to be there too. :-)
I just love this chapter, because...
... Elfwine talking with Thranduil was so adorable ;
... angry-with-Hammel Eomer rocks ;
... the Rohirric Girl Squad has spent some quality time chatting and getting all pretty for the night ; it's so good to see the three of them so natural and carefree for once ;
... Guthwyn really made Cobryn blush (major thumbs up for this one !) ;
And I can't wait to read more of this, because...
... we're going to see more Elves (Elrond's twins ? yay !) ;
... I guess that despite the lack of boys her age, Haiweth is not going to lack dance partners ;
... Hammel could also get caught into dancing by a nice female someone, for a change ;
... handsome dressed up Cobryn is going to break some hearts ;
... the best healer is going to be needed for Legolas when he sees Guthwyn.
Thank you again !
