Rage Against The Monoculture: Grow A Yard Your Chickens Will LoveJuly 25, 2016
Green grass may look picture-perfect, but it leaves your chickens something to be desired.
Green grass may look picture-perfect, but it leaves your chickens something to be desired.
Still waiting on your pullets' first eggs? Here's the scoop on the first-season laying habits of new hens.
Your hen's egg-eating habit may be a bigger issue relating to space, diet or age.
Supplement your chickens diet with vegetables, greens and herbs for tastier, healthier eggs.
Summer's heat can be hard on your chickens. Keep your flock cool, calm and collected with mindful chicken keeping.
Scale down your flock—in size not number—by keeping small-scale chicken breeds called bantams.
Prevent your flock from scratching debris into their drinking water by suspending the waterer in air.
Got access to nursery pots? Then you can make a chicken feeder sized to fit your needs.
Provide enough room in the coop and run so that your chickens can live out happy, healthy lives.
With simple PVC-pipe construction, you can keep your flock fed and watered without any of the post-meal cleanup.

I need to delete values in a temp table based on both values in another. In other words, I do not want any item_desc left in B for an id that has a style_cd listed in A.
style_cd char(3),
id_cd varchar(15)
Some sample values are like:
item_desc varchar(50),
item_num char(4),
style_cd char(3),
id_cd varchar(15)
Sample values for this table:
item 1, 7, A, 123456
item 2, 14, B, 123456
item 2, 14, A, 123456
item 3, 23, A, 123456
item 2, 14, B, 654321
item 2, 14, A, 654321
item 6, 44, A, 654321
For example - for id 123456 I want to remove both entries for item 2 from B. Each item can have several styles associated with it. An id will usually only have one style associated with it but could conceivably have several.
I must be running into a block because this doesn't seem that complicated. I have been working on this for two days and can't get anything but all rows deleted. I have been trying something along the lines of:
DELETE #tempB
WHERE style_cd IN
(SELECT style_cd
FROM #tempB b JOIN tempA a
ON b.id_cd = a.id_cd
AND b.style_cd = a.style_cd)
Of course this deletes all the rows and I can't for the life of me figure out how to just get rid of only rows associated with the style_cd values listed for an id in Table A. I hope this makes sense and someone can put me out of my misery!!!!
I am using Sybase ASE 15.0.2
ADD... I used @john's suggestion as a starting point. When I test the select it picks out the rows I need for it to.
SELECT a.style_cd
FROM #tempB b
JOIN #tempA a
ON a.id_cd = b.id_cd
AND a.style_cd = b.style_cd
When I add in any Delete clause it wipes out everything
DELETE FROM #tempB
WHERE style_cd IN
(SELECT style_cd
FROM #tempB b JOIN tempA a
ON b.id_cd = a.id_cd
AND b.style_cd = a.style_cd)
Somehow I am not getting just the rows from the list in the select removed from tempB

hey there!
I love Charge bee! Just wondering if you would consider working on a WooCommerce integration, as it's one of the top shopping carts on WordPress, and also in the world.
hey there!
I love Charge bee! Just wondering if you would consider working on a WooCommerce integration, as it's one of the top shopping carts on WordPress, and also in the world.
Hi There,
We are going to get started on the WooCommerce integration soon and we'd like to understand your requirements for using the 2 systems together. It would be great if you could write up your use cases and send it to us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you.
That is great news! That would really fill a huge hole for subscription payments. I've been looking for hours for a a service to schedule payments on two specific dates a month and I think Chargebee is the only one that could do it.
Hey ChargeBee!
How's it going? For Subscription for WooCommerce, the biggest issue would be the ability to sell different plans and then add/substract items to the plan.
For example. Let's say I'm selling wine. And I've 3 monthly subscription packages.
1) Small - 2 exotic small bottles/mo
2) Medium - 4 exotic small bottles/mo
3) Large - 4 exotic large bottles/mo
And the bottles would be random, sourced from different providers.
Because the official WooCommerce Subscription extension is limited, I cannot let customers build custom orders (using the Woocommerce product variations or composite products)
Neither could they, let's say, add one extra bottle this month. As such, flexibility would be a concern :)
Hello keepkalm,
Do drop us a note to firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll keep you posted when we roll out our WooCommerce plugin. Also, a quick question. Do you currently use WooCommerce for your business?
Hello Leokoo,
Could you explain a bit more on your pricing model dropping a note about the same to email@example.com? We'd be happy to help you gear up with our WooCommerce plugin when we launch.
Saravana from ChargeBee
Hi ChargeBee,
I have a client who's very interested in seeing ChargeBee integrate with WooCommerce. He's already using ChargeBee for a premium subscription service for his customers and has just opened a new WooCommerce shop. He'd love to be able to take payments on physical products via your service in addition to his subscription customers. I hope to hear an update on a WooCommerce plugin launch timetable if possible.

Great, precise instructions. For Aussie Swap.
This technique gave me my first perfectly marked steaks. Just gorgeous. I had no idea that oiling the "second side" of a steak could make such a difference. I used my cast-iron grill pan (inexpensive but works beautifully) and a rib steak. I am happy I tagged this!
I make the same thing now and then. I use a KitchenAid stainless-steel grill pan over a screamin' hot fire for just a couple of minutes on each side, for medium-rare. Comes out perfectly every time. The pan was expensive (~$100) but worth every dime. Cleans up just fine in the dishwasher. Sometimes I marinate the steak (usually filet mignon, sometimes DelMonico), but usually just olive oil spray, sea salt, and black pepper. That's almost impossible to ruin.
Made this for my DH and it came out great and looked good! Thanks! Made for Australian Recipe Swap!
Im very sad to say this didnt work out 'completly' for me. Im going to chock this up to "user error" because Im clueless about grilling to begin with and the one side of the steaks started to get some nice marks on them so Im still going give it five stars because Im sure it would have worked completly if (1) the top grill rack hadnt disconected and proceeded to fall on top of the steaks. A whole buch of old char (i guess thats what you would call it) fell on top of them and I just had to remove them and get it off. Then after that fiasco was over I flipped them and not one minute later it started POURING rain. Considering I was hardly dressed for that occasion I pulled everything off the grill and ran inside to finish them on the broiler. But, on the bright side, next time DBF is around to grill well have some beautifully grill marked steaks lol.
I used this recipe along with another one of Chef floWer's recipes (Marinade for Steak (Porterhouse, Sirloin or Any Beef Cuts) Marinade for Steak). The results were fabulous. The steaks turned out perfect. I never thought of spraying olive oil on the uncooked side of the steak before turning it over. I ended up with tender, moist steaks that had wonderful grill marks on them. I used my Green Pan non-stick grill skillet and had great results. Thanks for sharing this great technique for grilling steaks. Made for May, 2008 Aussie/NZ Swap.

T5 Labs files patent infringement suit against Gaikai
Gaikai has had a lawsuit filed against it by T5 Labs for patent infringement.
T5 Labs claims the cloud gaming service owned by Sony "committed and continues to commit acts of infringement" and has requested a jury trail through the Delaware court system.
The firm claims Gaikai infringed upon US Patent 8,203,568: Sharing a Graphical Processing Unit Between a Plurality of Programs. T5 stated it had previously notified Gaikai with a written notice of the infringement. T5 attempted to sue OnLive over similar matters of infringement in early 2011.
"Gaikai actively, knowingly and intentionally induces infringement of the patent by making, using, offering for sale and selling use of Gaikai's GPU cloud with the knowledge that its customers and end users will use the Gaikai GPU cloud and with the knowledge and the specific intent to encourage and facilitate the infringing sales and uses of Gaikai's GPU cloud through the creation and dissemination of promotional and marketing materials, instruction manuals, product manuals and technical materials," according to the court documents.
T5 is seeking damages and is claiming monetary entitlement " for all future activity that it believes infringes on its patent," according to MCV.
Sony has refused comment on the matter.

About 400,000 high earners would pay more under the Scottish National Party's proposals to replace council tax with a local income tax, John Swinney, the party leader, said yesterday.
A system of local income tax would benefit the low paid but about 10 per cent of Scotland's 3.9 million workforce would receive higher tax bills.
In addition, Mr Swinney said that half a million pensioners would be excused from local taxation.
The SNP, the Liberal Democrats, who also favour local income tax, and the Scottish Socialists are in favour of abolishing council tax.
The SNP calculates that income tax rates across Scotland would need to rise by 4.3p in the pound to generate the money currently raised by the council tax. Local councils would have the power to vary that sum by around 0.74p in the pound.
The money would be collected by the Inland Revenue and taken directly out of wage packets.
Under the SNP proposals, a single pensioner on a low income would pay nothing while a pensioner couple on £11,500 a year would save around £933 on a band D home.
A single parent with an income of £13,400 would save about £322 a year while a family with a joint income of £38,400 would be largely unaffected, saving about £13.
A more affluent family with a joint income of £52,000 would see an average increase of £74 per year on a band F home. High earners with a joint income of £136,000 would see their bills increase by an average of more than £3,000 for a band H home.
Describing the current system as "manifestly unfair", Mr Swinney said: "Council tax takes no account of ability to pay and must be replaced by a fair alternative. Local income tax is fair, it is democratic, it is local and, crucially, it is based on ability to pay.
"The poll tax finished off the Tories and I'm very confident that the council tax will finish off the Labour party."
The Scottish Socialist Party will lead a debate in the Scottish Parliament next week calling for the tax to be swapped with an "income-based alternative".
Tommy Sheridan's party wants to introduce a centrally-collected public service tax.
Andy Kerr, the Labour Finance Minister, said local income tax was "profoundly unfair" and would hit those with jobs and families.
"The way to help low-income pensioners is not to massively increase taxes for working families. Not only is the job and family tax unfair, it would be massively expensive to collect 32 different rates of income tax through PAYE." The Conservatives disputed the SNP's figures claiming that 7p would have to be added to the basic rate of income tax to raise what council tax brings in.
Brian Monteith, the Tory finance spokesman, said: "The Nationalists must also concede that under their plans for a local income tax Scotland would lose the near £300 million council tax benefit which the Department of Work and Pensions gives to the poorest council tax payers. This would be yet another shortfall which the Scottish taxpayer would have to meet."

Since upgrading to Natty graphic performance has been absolutely terrible despite having decent system specs. I'm willing to buy a new card if it will make the interface fast again. Can someone suggest a card that will perform well and be totally compatible out of the box with Natty?
If you want a truly "Out of the box" experience you should buy any Intel Graphics Adapter (this also applies if you don't like proprietary drivers).
Simply look for nVidia cards because they are a lot better supported. You'll get better experience and drivers will be more commonly updated. I have ATI and i am not happy..ever.

TV Dancing with the Stars: Heather Mills Wipeout!
posted by April 17 at 9:34 AMon
Only the most masochistic TV viewers (like me) watch Dancing with the Stars every week — primarily because we are still not-so-secretly wishing for HEATHER MILLS' prosthetic leg to go flying off into the crowd like so much NASCAR wreckage. And while our wish didn't come true last night, Heather's fakey leg did turn against her at the end of her routine, sending her bouncing on her butt. Naturally, the judges thought her fall was ADORABLE and praised her bravery for so elegantly landing on her ass. Ummm
hey judges
she's got a fake leg, she's not RETARDED.
Let's go to the video! (BTW, her partnerwho is retardedgot his chest shaved, hence all the "oil and hair" jokes. Ew.)

Introduction to the MeeGo Software Platform
MeeGo is a vehicle for fostering mobile innovations through an open collaborative environment, promoting the exchange of ideas and source code, peer review, unifying development from across multiple device categories and driving contributions and technical work upstream to various open-source projects.
In addition, MeeGo contributes to Linux as a technical platform, as it combines mobile development resources that recently were split in the Maemo and Moblin Projects into one well-supported, well-designed project that addresses cross-platform, cross-device and cross-architecture development. Dozens of traditional Linux mobile and desktop efforts use many of the components used by MeeGo. They all benefit from the increased engineering efforts on those components. This is the power of the open-source development model.
The Linux Foundation (www.linuxfoundation.org) hosts the MeeGo Project as an open-source project, provides a vendor-neutral collaboration environment and encourages community contributions in line with the best practices of the open-source development model.
The Linux Foundation and MeeGo meet on various key points:
Accelerating the adoption of Linux.
Promoting collaboration between industry players and the Open Source community.
Unifying divergent efforts toward the benefits of a strong Linux platform.
Promoting a truly open Linux platform and improving Linux as a technical platform.
Encouraging companies to drive their contributions and technical work upstream.
As owner of the MeeGo trademark, the Linux Foundation also is driving the creation of a MeeGo compliance program that will allow ISVs and OSVs to go through the compliance program and have their applications, distributions, devices and so on certified as MeeGo-compliant. Figure 5 illustrates the benefits of the compliance program to various players in the MeeGo ecosystem. MeeGo will enable applications developed with the MeeGo API to run on all devices running MeeGo-compliant OSes with segment-specific adaptations.
The Linux Foundation contributes to the MeeGo Project through its coordination efforts, overseeing MeeGo events; hosting a number of MeeGo-related technologies, services and collaboration tools; in addition to various marketing, legal, PR and other support activities. Furthermore, the Linux Foundation employs the maintainers of the cross-toolchain used by MeeGo and contributes the optimizations for multi-architecture support in the build service.
15 MeeGo Facts
Full open-source project.
Hosted under the auspices of the Linux Foundation.
Aligned closely with upstream projects—MeeGo requires that submitted patches also be submitted to the appropriate upstream project and be on a path for acceptance.
Offers a complete software stack.
Provides reference UX implementations.
Governed according to best practices of open-source development.
Offers equal opportunities for all players and enables them to participate in the evolution of the software platform and to build their own assets on MeeGo.
Lowers complexity for targeting multiple device segments.
Offers differentiation abilities through UX customization.
Provides a rich cross-platform development environment and tools.
Offers a compliance program to certify software stacks and application portability.
Supports multiple hardware architectures.
Supports multiple app stores.
Has no contributor agreements to sign.
Has more than 1,000 committed professional developers and hundreds of open-source developers.
MeeGo is a fully open-source software platform, hosted under the auspices of the Linux Foundation, and governed according to best practices of open-source development. Open mailing lists, discussion forums and contribution are open to all. It offers the best of Moblin and the best of Maemo to create a platform for multiple hardware architectures covering the broadest range of device segments.
MeeGo offers several opportunities to participate and help shape the future of the next-generation Linux platform. It will accelerate the adoption of Linux on mobile devices, Netbooks, pocket mobile devices, in-vehicle entertainment centers, connected TVs and mobile phones by implementing a truly open Linux platform across multiple architectures for next-generation computing devices. It is an open collaborative project between the project founders (Intel and Nokia), the community and various commercial and noncommercial partners bringing thousands of developers to work entirely out in the open, driving their contributions and technical work upstream making Linux the platform of choice for mobile computing devices. Visit MeeGo.com and be part of it!

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

President Barack Obama will appear on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" Thursday to promote Obamacare.
Obama will encourage people without health insurance to sign up for coverage during a live shot from the White House, according to a release from the show.
This will be Obama's first appearance on the show since he was elected president. He did appear on the show during the 2008 campaign, when he busted a move with the popular daytime host.

A small group of editors of general medical journals met informally in Vancouver, British Columbia, in January 1978 to establish guidelines for the format of manuscripts submitted to their journals. The group, now expanded and known as the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (also known as the Vancouver Group), has met annually since then and its concerns have broadened. The committee has produced four editions of the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals; this fourth edition was revised slightly in January 1993. During discussions of manuscript requirements, questions have been raised about other issues surrounding publication, especially ethics. Some of these concerns are now covered in the Uniform Requirements; others are addressed in separate statements issued by the committee. The total content of this communication may be reproduced for educational, not-for-profit purposes without regard for copyright; the committee encourages distribution of the material, which we hope will be useful.

The remote Galapagos Islands are a fascinating window into the world of their creaturely indigenous inhabitants, writes Vanessa James.
It's early morning and a hot, dry wind courses across the pitted red-brown landscape as we cluster together, scanning the bare volcanic rock with binoculars. Someone spots one - there! The tawny short-eared owls are just visible against the darker rocks as they turn their heads back and forth, back and forth, before launching into the air and swooping feet-first on their unsuspecting targets. They have plenty of choice - hundreds of petrels and terns swoop and dive along the cliff edge above the pounding waves. But this one is chasing iguana.
Closer to us, a yellow-crowned night heron perches in a dead shrub. Frigate birds nest on clumps of sticks on the ground or low branches, some with eggs and some with fluffy white chicks with bald brown heads. The fat rounded spines of furry lava cacti soften the harsh landscape.
These barren hunks of lava jutting forbiddingly from the ocean - rejecting sailors and settlers for centuries because of their lack of water and soil, yet home to thousands of unique birds and animals - are the Galapagos.
We set sail five days ago on the Lindblad Expeditions ship the National Geographic Endeavour, heading south from the island of San Cristobal to Espanola, then Floreana, Santa Cruz, and now Genovesa. There are 70 land-based and 75 marine visitor sites on the Galapagos, and a restricted number of tourists are spread across them via a complicated approval process between tour operators and the Galapagos National Park Service. During our whole time in the archipelago, we haven't seen a single other vessel.
The Endeavour is one of the largest boats in the Galapagos, and her 96 passengers have to be split into groups with a maximum of 16 to comply with National Park requirements. Each day we disembark in Zodiacs to explore the islands by foot, in kayaks or by snorkelling and diving.
We visit 18 sites, seeing the myriad unique plant and animal life, including blue- and red-footed boobies, pelicans, flamingos, lava lizards, iguanas, turtles, tortoises, finches, mockingbirds and whitetip reef sharks. Part of what makes the Galapagos so special is that the wildlife does not recognise humans as predators, and we can walk right up to nesting birds, snorkel with sea lions and crouch behind giant tortoises without distressing the animals.
Exploring the islands is a breeze aboard Lindblad Expeditions' Zodiacs. Photo / Vanessa James
The boat is full of inspirational and interesting people, including Tjadra and Jochem, self-funded veterinarians from the Netherlands "on a mission around the world to treat animals, contribute to conservation and create better awareness about animal welfare". Dogs in particular create significant issues on the Galapagos because of a lack of knowledge about animal care in the resident population. Tjadra and Jochem vaccinate, de-worm and spay and neuter dogs and cats, and provide essential veterinary care. They've been sponsored on this cruise by Lindblad. We are also joined by four Galapagos teachers as part of Lindblad's Teachers on Board programme, which aims to enhance the environmental knowledge of local teachers so they can pass this on to their students.
Despite the tight controls, our trip is packed with activity and delight. On a ride around Santa Cruz, Tjadra and I sit on the front of the small boat, our legs hanging over the side as the Zodiac noses around the red mangrove forest. Reef shark pups dart in the shallow water around the mangrove roots; further out, the heads of eastern Pacific green sea turtles pop out of the water and duck under again. A Galapagos penguin darts in front of our boat, a great blue heron takes off from a rocky outcrop studded with Sally Lightfoot crabs, and blue-footed boobies dive at breakneck speed into the water.
Photos: Natural wonders of the Galapagos Islands
Before this trip I had assumed tourism was the main threat to the Galapagos Islands. After seeing how the Lindblad-National Geographic Fund for Conservation and Exploration supports education and conservation, I understand the delicate balance: without funding from tourism, the islands as we know them would probably no longer exist.
Introduced plants and animals represent a major threat to the Galapagos. The islands are managed by legislation commonly referred to as the Special Law for the Galapagos. The law restricts migration, where people can live (97.5 per cent of the islands are national park) and the kinds of pets they can keep. The population has grown rapidly, driven largely by tourism and a boom in the sea cucumber fishery (an Asian delicacy), to nearly 30,000 from about 3000 in the 1970s. Just over half the population live in poverty, with a minority having access to potable water and wastewater systems. It's a constant struggle to balance the subsistence needs of the local people with the intensive conservation measures required to preserve these beautiful, unique islands.

As we cruise around Floreana Island in the Zodiacs, the stench of slaughtered goat wafts across the water. We see cat prints crossing turtle tracks, and a dead rat on Bartolome Islet. Eliminating the introduced species presents a major - and expensive - challenge. Removing goats from Santiago Island took 52 months and cost $7.3 million. Insects, seeds and diseases arriving in unmonitored cargo also present a significant threat. There is a sense the Galapagos are at a crossroads, faced with a final opportunity to stem development and tip the scales towards conservation.
This trip is not only about wildlife spotting. As we circumnavigate Daphne Major Islet, the sun drops to the horizon and we gather on the bow for a Champagne toast.
The next night, the ship's horn sounds to bring people to the bridge and we count down and cheer as we cross the Equator.
On our last morning the Zodiacs, waiting alongside the ship, attract hundreds of noddy terns, pelicans and blue-footed boobies. As we watch the birds paddling in the water, great shapes appear beneath the surface and send the birds into a sudden frenzy. A massive school of giant trevally and a dozen blacktip reef sharks hunt and dive in the crystal-clear water beneath us.
The final call comes to leave the ship. Jochem and I wait on the stern of the boat, hoping for another sighting of the sharks as the other passengers queue in the corridors in orange lifejackets. Finally, four enormous sharks glide past us just beneath the surface, their white undersides clearly visible in the pure water.
Getting there: LAN Chile has six direct flights from Auckland to Santiago, Chile a week. LAN Airways operates between Santiago and Guayaquil, Ecuador.
Getting around: Lindblad Expeditions arranges a shuttle service between Guayaquil Airport and the Hotel Hilton Colon. Accommodation at the Hilton Colon is included as part of the expedition.
Tours: Lindblad Expeditions has two ships cruising the Galapagos: the National Geographic Endeavour and the National Geographic Islander. Cruises depart every seven days.

Horrorscopes by Miranda.
You FINALLY realize that your life-time goal of destroying the world is self-defeating. This weekend brings an excellent opportunity to get drunk and humiliate yourself at the top of your voice - unaware that your friends have bugged your coat and are broadcasting every word to your mum, your boss and your partner. It is time for you to stop daydreaming and get back to reality. Failing to tune into the reality will result in you missing out on all the new and exciting things taking place within the real world. You will get caught in an unexpected rainstorm on Saturday and your new wool sweater will shrink to doll size. You will also smell of wet sheep all day as a result.
A co-worker will smile at you. It may mean something, or they may just be trying to be friendly. You lack confidence and are generally a coward. No matter how much your friends try, you still misunderstand the punchline of every joke. You have the personality of a tree, the looks of the back of a bus and the sense of humour of a German. You still can't understand why people as a general rule cross the road to avoid you, and your pointless and irritating optimism keeps you constantly bouncing up to people and trying to start conversations.
Beware of the dog.
Love is in the air. Messy. Anyway there is nothing but luck this week for those of you with lots of luck this week. The rest of you may, or may not, be as lucky as that. In fact, you may find yourself being stuck behind an elderly person who manages to take up the entire pavement at the same time as walking at a snail's pace. Tempting tho it may be, resist the temptation to push them over. The tealeaves will not bode well for you this month. Someone's out to get you. They want to carve your gizzard and fry it for their supper. Make sure you hang out with vegetarians until the coast is clear.
Your bull headed thick skulled stupidity will land you in trouble this Friday night when you accidently annoy the wrong person. Still, you will find love when you strike up a conversation with the person in the next hospital bed. More bad luck awaits you next Monday. You will entertain all of your co-workers with an impersonation of your boss. Theyll be even more entertained by the expression on your employers face as he walks up behind you without your knowledge. You will lose your wallet, and wonder just how the Cancer living down the road was able to buy so many new clothes on their next shopping trip. Most people would be able to make the connection, but not you.
Split personalities like yours can be amusing for those next to them, especially when you have an argument with yourself. It's especially pathetic when you lose that argument and spend the next hour sulking in a corner. If cupidity didn't get the best of you, stupidity will. June will be an entertaining month for us. We'll be watching you and we'll be laughing at you. You will fall over in two days and sprain your finger. You will also mislay your cheese sandwich and not be able to locate it again. Here's an interesting factoid; in all your past lives, you were just as dull, stupid, and insignificant as you are today, but you were much less ugly.
Buy an umbrella.
You are a vain and arrogant person; you will get much worse this month, cuz of it being your birthday. For the sake of everyone around you, at least try to act gracious when receiving gifts. You will benefit from it later, I promise. Good looks will not get you thru life; for god's sake, try to develop a better personality than the one you have. You will dream that cheese will fall from the sky, and wake up believing that your dreams have meaning. This is untrue. Your strange dreams are sent to punish you for being so self obsessed. You're in your twenties; it's about time that you stopped acting like a bratty teenager and just grew up. No-one likes you, but you don't care as long as you have your full length mirror.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - A Florida appellate judge has resigned
after being accused of helping a stripper hide her assets from
As a result, the Judicial Qualifications Commission dropped an ethics complaint Thursday against former 2nd District Court of Appeal Judge Thomas E. Stringer Sr., of Tampa.
The commission said Stringer also has agreed not to seek future judicial office or serve on the bench as a retired judge.
Stringer had been accused of giving the exotic dancer access to bank accounts and putting the title of a Hawaiian home in his name to conceal her interest in the property.
He also allegedly failed to report gifts from the woman, including a car and trip to Las Vegas.

Bronx Teacher Arrested for Assaulting 12-Year-Old Student
The student said she was repeatedly punched by the teacher.
Fifty-three-year-old Evelyn Tirado has been arrested for allegedly punching a 12-year-old female student, repeatedly, after an argument last week at Dr. Richard Izquierdo Health and Science Charter School in Morrisania. "She wouldn't stop hitting me," the student told police of her teacher. "I'm afraid of her." Tirado's tirade apparently started after the young girl left school early to make a doctor's appointment. Tirado has been charged with assault.

To keep everything on track, it seemed easiest to map out the shaping for the back and fronts using a spreadsheet. The pattern was specific about the rows on which most shaping was to occur (every 10 rows, every 8 rows) and where it was to start. That made it very easy to determine the row number for each increase or decrease. Based on tension, it was even possible to accurately predict the row numbers for shoulder shaping. Once the row numbers were calculated for each set of shaping instructions, they were all placed in the same set of columns in the spreadsheet and sorted by row number. The resulting shaping instructions looked like this:
Row Instruction Stitches
94 dec waist 79
104 dec neck 78
108 inc bust 79
118 dec neck 78
Taking the time to make the shaping spreadsheet was worth it, and made keeping track of progress very simple. While smart counters in knitCompanion were used, they do not keep stitch counts for each row. With the start and/or end pattern markers moving with each shaping instruction, it was important to know what the stitch count should be for any given row. This helped avoid a misshapen mess and to correctly place the pattern. It really was not as difficult as it sounds, but there were a few times when tinking/minor frogging was necessary because the stitch count was off.
Some significant mistakes were made along the way. Misreading the instructions for the front led to a 2x2 ribbed border for the right front. While it looked fine, the fabric was too thick for the purchased pin to slide through nicely, and the look bothered me. Knitting a sample border in 1x1 ribbing made it clear that the piece was headed for the frog pond. Sometimes it just pays off to take the rough road and do the work, since I am so much happier with the look. I also misplaced the patterning on the first sleeve, starting on row 1 instead of row 17, as instructed. That didn't seem to matter, so the same mistake was repeated for the second sleeve.
Things to like: The design and the yarn are both gorgeous. It was a bit of a challenge to keep track of the shaping and ensuring stitch counts along the way for the fronts, but it was fun never the less. To be sure, Malpeque is one of the best looking and most luxurious garments ever produced by my hands. The surface of the garment are very smooth and even. There's an indulgent softness and squoosh factor to the sweater that's irresistible. My mother-in-law will look fabulous in it, and with a bit of luck, she'll like it too.
Not so much: I took a long time to get going and really focus on this project. It's probably because working with black is not very entertaining. The yarn, while resulting in a beautiful fabric, can be a bit of a pain to work with.
Malpeque, size 39.5
1900 yds Catherine Lowe Couture Yarns Merino 5 in black
3.25, 3.75 mm needles
Pin from Plover Designs
Yarn notes: The yarn used for this project is glorious and is significantly different from any yarn I've used before. This particular offering consists of 5 individual plies of merino lightly held together with a bit of sizing. The sizing holds the plies parallel to each other in the knitting, and washes away easily. The yarn does not behave like a traditional yarn where the plies are twisted together. Despite being a 100% wool product, there is no stretch to the yarn while it is being worked. It does require careful attention since it is very easy to leave a ply behind to spoil the surface of the knitting. I also had to pay attention to the tension applied to the yarn while working the project to ensure the end result would meet the specifications of last summer's swatching experiments, but that's got to do with me and not the yarn. The surface of the knitting is really quite superior, even before blocking.
Would I use this yarn brand again? Abso-freakin'-lutely! The very minute I've saved my yarn allowance up, some is going to be ordered for me. Me, me, me. It'll take a little while, since my knitting budget for the quarter has been spent, but it's going to happen.

Mohamed Sanu gets prank phone call during NFL draft with Cincinnati Bengals on the clock
CINCINNATI - It's a dream every kid playing football has -- to one day hear your name called in the NFL Draft.
For most it is a dream, but for a select few it becomes a reality. The game they've played since they were a child will now change their life forever.
Rutgers wide receiver Mohamed Sanu, like many of college football's finest, were anxious Thursday night during the first round of the NFL Draft.
When the Cincinnati Bengals were on the clock at number 27 in the first round, Sanu received a phone call. The person on the other end of the phone said they were with the Bengals and that Sanu, 22, was going to be their pick.
Sanu and everyone he was with began celebrating. Mike McCartney, Sanu's agent, even tweeted that his client was the newest member of the Bengals. However, the voice on the other end of the phone was not a member of the Bengals organization, it was a prank call. Moments later NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced that the Bengals selected Wisconsin guard Kevin Zeitler.
"Very cruel prank call to a Sanu tonight – very sad that someone would do that," McCartney said via Twitter. "My apologies to the twitter world for my tweet." He later tweeted, "Tough night. We all get knocked down in life and we gotta get back up. I believe in Mohamed Sanu as a player and person!"
"This is a great kid, I guarantee you, and someone played a cruel joke on him,'' McCartney told Peter King of Sports Illustrated , who covered the Bengals years ago. "It is unreal that someone would do that, but it happened.''
The second and third rounds of the draft will be held Friday night so it's very likely Sanu, who caught 115 passes for 1,206 yards and seven touchdowns last season, will hear his name called. Ironically, the Bengals are in need of another receiver and who knows, maybe someone from the team actually calls Sanu to tell him "welcome to the NFL."

Olga sings softly while working in the field, stooped over and stuffing onion plants into small holes that were made a few minutes earlier by a tractor. She places two or three plants in a hole, sweeps in a little dirt, takes a step, and does it again. It takes her about three hours to fill a row 1,400 feet long. For this, she earns $32. She usually plants two rows a day. Olga wears a red bandanna to protect herself from the dust and pesticides that are kicked up whenever a tractor or truck passes by. She is, it appears, the only one of about thirty workers who is worried about it.
Olga works on an onion farm in western New York, about an hour's drive from Rochester. The soil here—rich, dark, and moist—is called muck and is perfect for growing onions. It's late April, well past the normal time for planting onions, but an unusually wet spring has upset the schedule. Olga has been out in the cool damp weather for a couple of weeks, working eight to ten hours a day, six or seven days a week. When she's not in the fields, she's in a packing house sorting onions—a job she prefers. On a busy day, five thousand pounds of onions will roll down a conveyor belt every hour, as she and another woman try to find and toss out bad ones. She says working in the packing house is easier than working in the fields, but the work requires standing in one spot all day, leaving her with an aching back and swollen legs. "Almost all...

Definition of Sleep apnea, central
Sleep apnea, central: A breathing disorder characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep. Central sleep apnea occurs when the brain fails to send the appropriate signals to the breathing muscles to initiate respirations. Central sleep apnea is less common than obstructive sleep apnea. Diagnosis is by observation, patient history, and polysomnography. Treatment depends on the patient's medical history and the cause of sleep apnea. Options include lifestyle changes, dental appliances, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), and various types of surgery to correct physical defects that contribute to sleep apnea.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

Sleeping Dogs first story DLC due this month, includes zombies
Sleeping Dogs will receive its first major story-driven expansion this month, with the Nightmare in North Point pack.
The new DLC is due on October 30, according to Kotaku, and will be horror-themed; the site compared it to Red Dead Redemption's Undead Nightmare.
"With the DLC, we feel we can explore other aspects of Hong Kong cinema," United Front members apparently said during the panel, which should please fans of eastern horror.
Polygon had a few more details; the campaign tells the story of a former Triad member who is killed and resurrected along with an undead army.
Wei Shen counters possessed Triads with his new lightning fists ability, granted by a magical tea, and fights off traditional Chinese zombies with a peach wood sword.
The new DLC was not priced; it joins a number of packs released this month for the open world action effort.

Interesting idea. Reminds me a little bit of the classic AMT/ERTL "Gigantics" Plastic Model kits from the 70's. (I remember the Mantis, Scorpion and Tarantula ones). They played with this sort of idea a little bit with the PQ sets. The only problem I see is the military part of it. In order to do such a theme right it really needs a sort of B movies 50's sci fi movie feel. But TLG adamantly refuses to make anything with modern military connotations outside of licensed lines. (don't ask me how the CMF sailor got through?) They would kind of need to set the monsters against something like their Alien Conquest ADF team. (And if they are going to do that, they should just go whole hog and make Galaxy Patrol figs vs giant space bugs ala Heinleins Starship Troopers.)

They tried one Time Travel theme quite a few years ago. Sadly Time travel while great in concept, makes for a kind of oddly disjointed theme. It is very hard to balance the products to get the needed unified elements to tell the story and make it a theme, while at the same time having distinct time travel settings and vehicles and period setups. You basically get Sherman and Professor Peabody with Dinosaurs, in Space, and standing with a bunch of PotC leftover minifigs. 3 clear sets. And the core unifying piece, the 'Sherman and Peabody + time machine" piece ends up the same for every set. Otherwise you don't have an actual theme. So you end up with the Harry Potter problem, where a portion of every sets minifig budget is wasted on the same figs. And without those unifying elements, well you have a classic pirates set, a classic space set, a classic castle set and a classic dino set.
As I said, the concept of Time Travel is great. You can really feel that there is something there. But there are a lot more subtle problems in the execution than we immediately realize. It's almost the "anti theme" theme. Because it struggles against the thematic unity.

It's no secret that I was a big fan of Time Cruisers which was a very underrated theme in my opinion. I think the idea of a theme revolving around time machines that allow you to have crossovers between any of the existing Lego themes was great. Even the designs of the time machines, although very bizarre, were very creative in that they were made out of pieces from different Lego themes / time periods and could fly, drive, and/or swim. However, I guess it wasn't executed as well as it could have been since the sets turned out looking very cobbled together and because there wasn't a consistent backstory.
I think if they were to revisit this concept now, it could turn out much better than last time. Not only have there been many more themes since then that would lend themselves as inspiration for crossovers and the design of the time machines, but TLG has also gotten much better at designing sets that appeal to the target audience and know how to market them. If they were to design the time machines to have a more unified color scheme and to look less wacky, but still incorporate elements from different time periods, they could be pretty cool. The story could be similar to the first one - a group of scientists tries to prevent another evil scientist and his minions from messing up the timeline. It could be something like Adventurers where the bad guys are trying to steal all the greatest treasures in history. Or it could be like Monster Fighters where there's only one group of scientists, and instead of having each set based around a different monster, they would be based around different time periods, and the story would be about collecting an item from each time zone to keep the timeline from unraveling or something. This would allow them to reuse the dinosaurs from Dino, the aliens from the recent space themes, and all the historic figs from the CMFs. Maybe they could even have a TV show that promotes the theme like they have done with other recent action themes where the characters travel to a new time zone in each episode.
So in short, if done right, I think a remake of Time Cruisers could work well. What do you think?
Posted 06 March 2013 - 12:51 AM
I missed out on the time cruisers sets, but I like that idea. If done appropriately, I would definitely want to buy those sets. I like the idea of time travel and steampunk for LEGO for some reason, even though I don't watch those types of shows/movies.
On another note, does anyone remember what happened to that Polar Expedition wave? I thought that was supposed to be a summer wave for the action theme, but the catalog never mentioned anything. I may be missing something here.

The insane Doctor is making human/animal hybrids in order to create the perfect man beast.
Our intrepid hero, Edward Prendick washes ashore after his yacht is destroyed in a storm. after initially taking refuge with the doctor he quickly discovers his crazy scheme and must battle man beasts and wild animals as well as the Doctor in order to survive and escape the island.
Sets could include:
The house and lab compound of Dr. Moreau,
The jungle clearing home of the beast folk,
Animal trapping equipment and cages with a truck to transport the cages,
Prendick's yacht.with break apart function.
Beach with dinghy to use in escaping the island,
Leopard man Jungle chase with trees and vines and a waterfall.
Edward Pendrick, Hero and scientist
Dr. Moreau, an insane scientist
Montgomery, Moreau's human assistant
M'ling, a bear man servant of Moreau
Hyena-Swine, mortal enemy of Prendick
Satyr-Man, a goat man
Fox-Bear Witch, a female antagonist
Sloth Creature, a child beast
Dog-Man, a friend to Prendick
Ape-Man, the keeper of the beast folk law and follower of Dr. Moreau
Sayer of the Law, unspecified large grey beast and devout follower of Ape-Man and Moreau
Now, the actual story and characters of the book are a bit gruesome and the themes are quite adult. It would be possible to water it all down to a theme where a hero washes ashore on an island populated by human/animal hybrids of various types with a mad scientist in their midst. The sets I briefly described could all still work in this idea. Jungle home of the man beasts, scientists lab compound, boats and motor vehicles, maybe an aircraft. The main draw of the theme would be the cool man beasts. Lego have shown they can do fantastic things with animals and monster minifigures in various themes so I'm positive they could create some awesome minifigures for a 'Beast Island'. Yeah, 'Beast Island' is a good name for the theme. This could be just the place to add some new animals to the selection. Like panthers and warthogs and boa constrictors and stuff. Which would please a lot of people. Jungle settings are always cool. Monsters are always cool. Crazy scientists are always cool. Eleven year old me would have killed for a 'Beast Island' Lego theme.

2. I'd love an apocalyptic theme. Not a zombie apocalypse, but something similar to the show Revolution. The show's not that good, but a great theme could come from the base idea of technology dying and civilized life collapsing could become a spectacular LEGO theme. The protagonists could be a ragtag team of survivors with non-electric weapons such as swords, knifes, guns, saws, or more. The big set could be a team vehicle manned by the brainy character which is able to house all of the other's individual vehicles from other sets.

Not a dream one, no. I was really just thinking aloud. However, Chima is a tale of heroic animals fighting an addiction to tainted waters and each other in some fantasy world. 'Beast Island' would be very human but with bizarre animal mutants. And what's not action about savage beasts and 'hunt or be hunted' adventure? If anything 'Beast Island' bears more resemblance to the Dino and Monster Fighters themes than to Chima. Just sayin'.

Product Overview
Easy to use. The ZEE3921IXA is complete with 2 cooking zones and 2 dials, so there are no fiddly buttons or touch controls. Just turn the dial and go. The zones are 2 different sizes too, 18cm and 14.5cm, so you've got an option for large and small pans. At 29cm wide, it's ideal if you haven't got much counter space, or perhaps you want to tag it onto the end of an existing hob, and turn 4 zones into 6.

Annika Sorenstam and Justine Henin just walked away. Sorenstam, 37, and arguably the greatest female golfer of all time, announced last week that she will retire at the end of this season. Henin, 25, and the No. 1-ranked female tennis player in the world, announced that she's retiring immediately.
AP Photo/Rich Schultz
Sorenstam is still playing outstanding golf, even though Lorena Ochoa is now considered the top female golfer in the world.
Imagine if tomorrow Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant or Alex Rodriguez looked out into a jam-packed press room, leaned into a microphone, and said, "You know, I just feel like it's time to focus on other things. I've had enough."
We'd freak out.
To understand why Sorenstam and Henin (and many women before them) have decided to walk away during the primes of their professional athletic careers, we must first examine the expectations placed on women in our society.
After all, what's the first question we hear when a baby is born? "Not, 'Does it have 10 fingers and 10 toes,'" says Colleen Hacker, the long-time sports psychology consultant for the U.S. national women's soccer and field hockey teams. "We want to know if it's a boy or a girl."
Simply stated, we cannot deny the fact that we live in a gendered society. And, similarly, we can't refute the idea that, even as gender roles have evolved, motherhood -- even in this age of less conventional family structures -- still carries much of the same weighty responsibility that it did when June Cleaver patented the mold. Even today, if a mother decides to work outside the home, she must prove to her family and to society that her profession (and paycheck) is noble and necessary enough to rationalize a perceived snub of her children.
Men's roles have certainly evolved too. We now demand that dads give more attention to their children, and have a deeper understanding of their spouses. But fathers aren't expected to give up their jobs in order to meet new family requirements. Instead, they are expected to balance their jobs and family.
Imagine if you'd heard someone say a few years back, "Oh, Tiger Woods is going to start a family? Well, he should stop playing golf so he can raise his children as best he can. They have enough money. He should be focusing on being a good father right now."
You'd say that was ridiculous.
Our culture sees becoming an elite male athlete as just about the best thing a guy can do with himself. So we generally agree that if a man manages to mount the prestigious bull of professional athletics, he should ride it until it bucks his old bones up and away into obscurity.
Noah Gentner, an assistant professor of the department of exercise and sport sciences at Ithaca College, says that the glorified perception of the male athlete sets up an interesting scenario. "Men see sport as the end-all be-all, and our culture generally supports that idea," says Gentner. "That's why we see male athletes hanging on, sometimes even much longer than they should. They don't want to walk away from the top of the mountain they're standing on."
But professional athletics, even at the most elite level, is not viewed as the top of the mountain for women. Think about how we perceive professional female athletes like Candace Parker, Sue Bird, Cat Osterman, Jennie Finch, Abby Wambach, Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor. They're almost a novelty in our culture, right? A unique kind of quirky talent. An aberration.
I would argue that,
for better or for worse, our society simply does not mark their incredible achievements with the same reverent distinction that their male counterparts enjoy. So then, isn't it interesting that we often see women, in the prime of their careers (or at least far from washed-up), hang 'em up and move on with nothing more than a news conference and a satisfied wave goodbye?
AP Photo/Miguel Villagran
Henin has won the last three French Opens -- but suddenly, she won't be defending her title this year.
"Why on earth would she do that?" many have asked. I asked Hacker the same question. She told me that personal happiness was the first thing that crossed her mind when she heard the recent announcements of Sorenstam and Henin. "They have already proven that they have the talent, discipline and charisma to achieve the highest success in their sport, but there is a larger question that surrounds these individuals," Hacker explained. "Do they want what they have? That is the question. Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get. See the difference?"
So what makes someone happy -- or, perhaps, keeps them happy -- after they've found success? The answer is often scarcely related to on-the-field exploits. Especially for women.
And that success-to-happiness, cost/benefit analysis of a life enveloped entirely in a sport is exactly what's up for debate. Sorenstam explained her decision by saying, "I have other priorities in my life. I have a lot of dreams I want to follow, that I want to live." She added that walking away when she's just 16 wins shy of Kathy Whitworth's LPGA-record 88 titles doesn't bother her. "I'm leaving the game on my own terms. I'm at peace with what I'm doing."
Henin expressed similar sentiments in her own news conference: "It's a page that's turning. I don't feel sadness, it's more relief."
"Elite athletes, both men and women, all face unique pressures in attaining and sustaining success, but to say that there isn't a gender piece to this puzzle of work-life balance, and persistence, and satisfaction, I think, would be inaccurate," says Joel Fish, director of the Center for Sports Psychology in Philadelphia. "Consider issues of identity, the 'who am I and what am I looking to accomplish with my life?' Certainly women are faced with a much different set of expectations than men."
Hacker provided an analogy to illustrate a professional athlete's personal identity. "Some athletes can draw a big circle on a chalkboard and say, 'This is me. I am my sport. It's that simple,'" she said. "Other athletes would have one big circle with many little circles drawn inside it, of all the things they see themselves as, and one of those little circles is their sport. That is more often the case with female athletes."
That may the case because women aren't expected to be professional athletes. They're expected to be mothers, sisters, writers, teachers, doctors, nurses, scientists and librarians. Most professional female athletes still tell me they never dreamed they'd be able to make a living by playing their sport. Because of that, most of the finest female athletes in the world have something to fall into (not fall back on) when the time comes.
"The biggest thing is, female athletes get into sports expecting their athletic careers to come to an end someday," Gentner said. "They believe they will need to move on to something else when it's over. Because of that, we see that female athletes transition to life after competition much more comfortably than men."
Disagree? Go back and watch how Sorenstam and Henin fielded questions after their announcements. These two women were undaunted in their decision. They were diplomatic, professional and almost apathetic to our pleas for full disclosure, for the "real" reasons to explain their departures.
Simply put, these two women have decided that their sports will no longer be their lives. They're anxious to prove they're no one-trick ponies. In fact, they're anxious to prove they are bright, ambitious women who know better than to let their identities be defined solely by their athletic successes. They chose the pursuit of happiness.
So maybe it's society's expectations that make female athletes more apt and able to choose the retirement path less traveled. But, right this second, I think we're better and broader for it.

This paper reports two variants of a membrane- supported microstrip low-pass filter (LPF) fabricated using bulk micromachining technique. The two proposed LPFs exhibit low transmission loss (< 2 dB) in the entire pass-band with high out - of-band rejection characteristics. The maximum measured rejection level is better than 50 dB. One of the proposed variant has been diligently designed to deliver high rejection performance with relatively rigid mechanical structure over the other variant thus making it suitable for easy integration and packaging.

initctl stop xbmc it displays a colored screen. Sometimes a red/blue/green color appears for 1-2 seconds. Is there a way to remove the color?
