What Mac collection was your biggest haul ever?
Mac has really upped the number and the size of their limited collections in the next few years, which gives those of us with a serious makeup addiction a lot to buy. What collection did you buy the most from? Was it your favourite collection, or was it just that there were so many items available that you went a little nuts? How many of the items do you still have? Do you still use them?

Semi-Precious, without a doubt. 3 out of 4 MSFs, all the shadows except 2, all the lipsticks, all the cremesheens, 3 out of 4 brushes and a blush (lol @ only one blush).
I use the brushes pretty much every day, almost always use a shadow or two when I'm wearing shadow, and wore the MSFs every single day through the end of the Fall - just starting to pull them out again, when the sun is shining. Same thing for GeoPink, One of a Kind, Gem of Roses and Looks Like Sin, wore them constantly and am only neglecting them right now since I'm busy with all my bright lippies for Spring.

i don't think i've ever bought an entire collection, or come even close, but the big ones for me were probably n collection, to the beach and semi precious. n collection is my all time fave, and i purchased the items over time (partly from ebay and other sellers). actually, all three of those collections, i just kept going back to mac and picking up a few items at a time...
the biggest haul in one shot would be an online purchase for creamteam -- i bought 2 lipsticks and 6 of the glosses in one go.

Naturally without a doubt. I am still in love with the MES from that collection. I bought 4/5 of them. I also got Pillowtalk l/s. And 2 l/g from the collection. I wish I would have got the blushes but hey MAC regret is the story of my life. When I travel I usually take the MES with me because its so easy to do looks with them. I do neglect them at home But this inspired me to pull them out for use next week.

To answer my own question, I think that I'd have to say Spring Colour Forecast. It was one of those things where I got super-excited in advance (because the information on the collection was available for a long time before it came out) and then I ended up going bananas when the collection hit stores. I did a big first haul, but then I kept going back and picking up things here and there and in the end, I'd picked up nearly the whole thing. And yes, I still use those colours all the time. In fact, it was because I was wearing products almost entirely from that collection today that I thought to start this thread...
Other major hauls have been
Cult of Cherry- Probably my favourite Mac collection, but I got the various parts of it over a long period of time
Fabulous Felines- Kinda like SCF, because I did a fairly big first haul, but then kept going back
Venomous Villains- Probably not as big as the others, but it seemed huge because I bought it all at once, knowing that a lot of what I wanted was going to sell out.

In Extra Dimension is the most recent: 7 out of 10 shadows, an one SF (WoG, plan to pick up Superb soon). Before that it was Naturally where I bought 4 MES, all the blushes and both skinfinishes, Hot Spell l/g, Ebony e/p and two 286 brushes.

Overall, I think I got the most from the Barbie collection. I got a lot of the eyeshadows, lipsticks, and powders, not to mention the bags, T shirts, doll, etc...

Too many collections. I'm losing track because sometimes I pre-order three collections at a time to keep up. Most "recently" I'd have to say Gareth Pugh because I backed up quite a few items that may end up at the CCO at this point :shock:
April 1st, 2012, 07:54 PM #11
One of my most favorite collections is VV. I still LOVE all of the products and dread running out of them, even though they're at the CCO and MAC. I just want to enjoy what I have, finish the products and move on to something totally new with far superior quality. I'm starting to get annoyed with all of the mediocre products with a severe lack of creativity and at such a large cost. At this point, I'd rather go overseas on a fabulous vacation and invest in high quality gold.
April 2nd, 2012, 06:35 AM #12
Probably VV, but most recently, I hauled a lot of the SSS/CCC collection. I got all of the lippies from that except for one. I'll be buying most of the By Request collection and probably a good bit of the Marilyn one too.
April 2nd, 2012, 01:26 PM #13
I hauled so big from Hello Kitty and Spring Colour Forecast! Those two are the biggest hauls that I've ever done so far.

October 15th, 2012, 02:02 PM #24
Fashion Flower. I bought all of the eyeshadows, both BPs, two lipsticks (the other two were sold out), and a lipgelee.

For me it was A Tartan Tale and the next biggest was Glamor Daze which I was able to pick up last night at the Pre Release party.

I've had a few binges LOL - usually I either go nuts on a collection or don't get anything at all....
My big historical ones:
Wonder Woman (my gateway collection LOL) - both blushes, all the colored mascaras, and about 3 backups of Marquis D lipstick
Naturally - pretty much the whole thing except for 3 of the lippies and 2 of the eyeshadows
Extra Dimension - both skin finishes, all the eyeshadows, plus backups of 3 of them.
Tres Cheek - all of it
Oh god, I don't even want to think about how much this cost...
On the bright side I completely skipped Fashion Flower, Beth Ditto, Marilyn, and a bunch of others.

Marilyn Monroe...This collection really really plucked my wallet I don't even want to look at my CC bill.

I can't even remember But, I was looking at my Gareth Pugh stash today and I realized I went a litttttle overboard. Love that collection!
October 24th, 2012, 03:52 PM #29
It was definitely Shop/Cook MAC. It was a huge collection and I really liked almost everything in it.

Independence Day 2012.
Gary: "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." -Barack Hussein Obama (MUSLIM) NOT America or Americans but he will stand with the MUSLIMS (TERRORISTS)!!! Isn't that TREASON??? Obama and Hillary CREATED ISIS! They FINANCED them (with tax payers money), TRAINED them, ARMED them then used them to KILL Americans like Ambassador Stevens and the other Americans in Benghazi!!! Obama IS and has been a Black MUSLIM!!! That is why he is protecting the SAVAGE MUSLIMS!!! Obama IS a TRAITOR to America and MUST be EXECUTED for TREASON!!! Obama and EVERYONE in his administration (like Sec. State Clinton, Sec. State Kerry, FBI Dir. Comey and AG Lynch and others), ALL who support him, MUST be IMPEACHED, PROSECUTED and EXECUTED! For TREASON, SUBVERSION, SEDITION, ESPIONAGE, MURDER, and many other CRIMES against America and Americans!!! They all should be HANGED by the NECK from a tree on the White House lawn!!!! Top General Michael Flynn Admitting Obama Knowingly Armed ISIS Monday, October 12, 2015 22:18 A U.S. General has made a shocking revelation saying that early on President Obama knew that ISIS was growing but made a "willful decision" to let the radical terror group grow unmolested and even supplied arms that he knew would go to ISIS. Former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency Michael Flynn told al Jazeera that Obama knew he was helping ISIS to grow but decided to do it anyway. Flynn spoke of the decision to arm opposition to Syria's Bashar al-Assad that the administration decided to continue despite warnings that those weapons would fall into the hands of radicals. HASAN: You are basically saying that even in government at the time you knew these groups were around, you saw this analysis, and you were arguing against it, but who wasn't listening? FLYNN: I think the administration. HASAN: So the administration turned a blind eye to your analysis? FLYNN: I don't know that they turned a blind eye, I think it was a decision. I think it was a willful decision. HASAN: A willful decision to support an insurgency that had Salafists, Al Qaeda and the MuslimBrotherhood? FLYNN: It was a willful decision to do what they're doing. So, according to Gen. Flynn, Obama knew that he was arming ISIS. Full video interview (10:47 is where ISIS exchange takes place Top General Admitting That Obama Knowingly Armed ISIS! How Is This Not Blatant Treason? Posted on October 24, 2015 by BIOMORPHIC A U.S. General has made a shocking revelation saying that early on President Obama knew that ISIS was growing but made a "willful decision" to let the radical terror group grow unmolested and even supplied arms that he knew would go to ISIS. Former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency Michael Flynn told al Jazeera that Obama knew he was helping ISIS to grow but decided to do it anyway.

FLYNN: It was a willful decision to do what they're doing. So, according to Gen. Flynn, Obama knew that he was arming ISIS. Incredible. How is this not treason? DECLASSIFIED DOCS: HILLARY AIDED RISE OF ISIS Confirm reports of U.S. arming Middle East jihadists Published: 05/27/2015 at 7:14 PM NEW YORK – More than 100 pages of previously classified Department of Defense and Department of State documents implicate the Obama administration in a cover-up to obscure the role Hillary Clinton and the State Department played in the rise of ISIS. The documents were obtained in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by the Washington watchdog Judicial Watch. They confirm WND reporting over the past three years of evidence that U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens was involved in shipping weapons from Benghazi to support the al-Qaida-affiliated militias fighting the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria, effectively arming the Sunni jihadists who morphed into ISIS. The documents further confirm WND reporting that the goal of the terrorists behind the Benghazi attack that killed Stevens was to force the release of Omar Abdul Rahman, the "blind sheik" in U.S. prison serving a life sentence for his involvement in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, and to avenge death of a prominent Libyan al-Qaida leader killed by a U.S. drone strike in Pakistan. "These documents are jaw-dropping," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "No wonder we had to file more FOIA lawsuits and wait over two years for them." Fitton referenced in particular a Defense Department document from the Defense Intelligence Agency, DIA, dated Sept. 12, 2012. It documents that the attack on the Benghazi compound had been carefully planned by the al-Qaida and Muslim Brotherhood-linked Brigades of the Captive Omar Abdul Rahman, BOCAR, which aimed "to kill as many Americans as possible." The document, dated the day after the Benghazi attack, was sent to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Obama White House National Security Council. The free WND special report "ISIS Rising," by Middle East expert and former Department of Defense analyst Michael Maloof, will answer your questions about the jihadist army threatening the West. "If the American people had known the truth – that Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and other top administration officials knew that the Benghazi attack was an al-Qaida terrorist attack from the get-go – and yet lied and covered this fact up – Mitt Romney might very well be president," Fitton observed. "These documents also point to connection between the collapse in Libya and the ISIS war – and confirm that the U.S. knew remarkable details about the transfer of arms from Benghazi to Syrian jihadists," Fitton stated. He said the documents "show that the Benghazi cover-up has continued for years and is only unraveling through our independent lawsuits." "The Benghazi scandal just got a whole lot worse for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton," Fitton said. Plan to release the blind sheik The heavily redacted Defense Department "information report" provides additional evidence for a WND article Jan. 27 reporting that James "Ace" Lyons – a former four-star admiral who served as the commander in chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet and a founding member of the Citizens' Commission on Benghazi – proposed that the attack was an Obama administration-orchestrated kidnapping attempt that went "terribly wrong." Lyons speculated that the Obama administration wanted to give the al-Qaida-affiliated rebels operating in conjunction with the Libyan Muslim Brotherhood an opportunity to kidnap Stevens and exchange him for the blind Sheik. The purpose of the plan, Lyons says, may have been to furnish the Obama administration with a pretext to justify to the American public the release of the blind sheik to then-Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, complying with a request Morsi made in his 2012 acceptance speech on becoming president of Egypt. The Department of Defense documents released by Judicial Watch further reveals that a-Qaida chief Ayman al-Zawahiri sent BCOAR leader Abdul Baset, AZUZ, into Libya to seek revenge "for the U.S. killing of Aboyahiye (ALALIBY) in Pakistan." The documents provide additional evidence for a 2013 WND story reporting the Benghazi attack was in response to Zawahiri's request to avenge the U.S. drone killing of Libyan al-Qaida leader Abu Yahya al-Libi in Pakistan's Waziristan tribal area June 4, 2012. CIA 'not well organized' narrative disputed The newly released DOD and State Department documents also differ from the account of the Benghazi attack Michael Morell, the recently retired CIA deputy director, gives in his current book, "The Great War of Our Time." On Page 206, he argues that viewing a CIA video of the Benghazi attack made in "real time" caused him to conclude that "with little or no advance planning, extremists in Benghazi made some phone calls, gathered a group of like-minded individuals to go to the TMF." In Morell's narrative, the 9/11 Benghazi attack "was not well organized" but "seemed to be more of a mob that had come to the TMF with the intent of breaching the compound and seeing what damage they could do." "When you assess the information from the video, there are few signs of a well-thought-out plan, few signs of command and control, few signs of organization, few signs of even the most basic military tactics in the attack on the TMF," Morrell said. "Some of the attackers were armed with small arms; many were not armed at all. No heavy weapons were seen on the videotape," Morell continued. "Many of the attackers, after entering through the front gate, ran past buildings to the other end of the compound, behaving as if they were thrilled just to have overrun the compound. They did not appear to be looking for Americans to harm. They appeared intent on looting and conducting vandalism." Morell stressed that the Obama administration, despite his objections to the contrary, has refused to make available for public viewing the yet classified CIA "real time" video of the Benghazi attack. Weapons shipped to Syria Judicial Watch also noted the DOD documents released this week contain the first official documentation that the Obama administration knew that weapons were being shipped from the Port of Benghazi to rebel troops in Syria. An October 2012 DOD report confirmed: Weapons from the former Libya military stockpiles were shipped from the port of Benghazi, Libya to the Port of Banias and the Port of Borj Islam, Syria. The weapons shipped during late-August 2012 were Sniper rifles, RPGs, and 125 mm and 155mm howitzers missiles. During the immediate aftermath of, and following the uncertainty caused by, the downfall of the (Qaddafi) regime in October 2011 and up until early September of 2012, weapons from the former Libya military stockpiles located in Benghazi, Libya were shipped from the port of Benghazi, Libya to the ports of Banias and the Port of Borj Islam, Syria. The Syrian ports were chosen due to the small amount of cargo traffic transiting these two ports. The ships used to transport the weapons were medium-sized and able to hold 10 or less shipping containers of cargo. A DIA document further detailed: The weapons shipped from Syria during late-August 2012 were Sniper rifles, RPG's and 125mm and 155mm howitzers missiles. The numbers for each weapon were estimated to be: 500 Sniper rifles, 100 RPG launchers with 300 total rounds, and approximately 400 howitzers missiles [200ea – 125mm and 200ea – 155 mm.] The heavily redacted document does not disclose who was shipping the weapons. Another Defense Intelligence Agency report, written in August 2012, the same time period the U.S. was monitoring weapons flows from Libya to Syria, said that the opposition in Syria was driven by al-Qaida and other extremist Muslim groups: "the Salafist, the Muslim Brotherhood, and AQI are the major forces driving the insurgency in Syria." Judicial Watch noted the sectarian direction of the war in Syria was predicted to have dire consequences for Iraq, which included the "grave danger" of the rise of ISIS. The DIA document noted the following: This creates the ideal atmosphere for AQI [al Qaeda Iraq] to return to its old pockets in Mosul and Ramadi, and will provide a renewed momentum under the presumption of unifying the jihad among Sunni Iraq and Syria, and the rest of the Sunnis in the Arab world against what it considers one enemy, the dissenters. ISI could also declare an Islamic state through its union with other terrorist organizations in Iraq and Syria, which will create grave danger in regards to unifying Iraq and the protection of its territory. Judicial Watch commented that some of the "dire consequences" are blacked out but the DIA presciently warned one such consequence would be the "renewing facilitation of terrorist elements from all over the Arab world entering into Iraqi Arena." On Feb. 26, Judicial Watch has reported on State Department documents obtained by the Washington-based watchdog organization in a separate FOIA lawsuit that revealed aides for then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, including her then-chief of staff Cheryl Mills, knew from the outset that the Benghazi mission compound was under attack by armed assailants tied to a terrorist group.

Suppose I've developed a general-purpose end user utility written in Python. Previously, I had just one version available which was suitable for Python later than version 2.3 or so. It was sufficient to say, "download Python if you need to, then run this script". There was just one version of the script in source control (I'm using Git) to keep track of.
With Python 3, this is no longer necessarily true. For the foreseeable future, I will need to simultaneously develop two different versions, one suitable for Python 2.x and one suitable for Python 3.x. From a development perspective, I can think of a few options:
- Maintain two different scripts in the same branch, making improvements to both simultaneously.
- Maintain two separate branches, and merge common changes back and forth as development proceeds.
- Maintain just one version of the script, plus check in a patch file that converts the script from one version to the other. When enough changes have been made that the patch no longer applies cleanly, resolve the conflicts and create a new patch.
I am currently leaning toward option 3, as the first two would involve a lot of error-prone tedium. But option 3 seems messy and my source control system is supposed to be managing patches for me.
For distribution packaging, there are more options to choose from:
- Offer two different download packages, one suitable for Python 2 and one suitable for Python 3 (the user will have to know to download the correct one for whatever version of Python they have).
- Offer one download package, with two different scripts inside (and then the user has to know to run the correct one).
- One download package with two version-specific scripts, and a small stub loader that can run in both Python versions, that runs the correct script for the Python version installed.
Again I am currently leaning toward option 3 here, although I haven't tried to develop such a stub loader yet.
Any other ideas?

NASCAR's own little theater of the absurd continued Saturday with Jeremy Mayfield as the lead character in this hopelessly nonsensical game of truth or dare.
And it's Mayfield, the alleged bad guy in this drama, who has managed to put NASCAR on the defensive and gained the upper hand in the court of public opinion.
NASCAR is trying to do the right thing with its new and improved drug-enforcement policy. But it has allowed Mayfield to come off as a man wronged, first by failing to reveal the substance involved and second by mistakenly giving him a forum at a NASCAR-sanctioned event.
How did this happen? One week after being suspended indefinitely for a substance-abuse violation, Mayfield bought a ticket and pit pass and strolled right in Lowe's Motor Speedway.
The man even wore a microphone and brought his own videographer, a cameraman and crew to record everything that transpired. Mayfield said it was preplanned before all this happened. Uh, OK.
Mayfield walked right to the National Guard hospitality rig (oh, the irony) and climbed up top, where he then allowed an interview with respected ESPN reporter Marty Smith.
Side note to government officials: Do not allow NASCAR to guard the White House.
Mayfield also held an impromptu news conference with a few reporters, and basically called NASCAR officials liars, along with the head doctor in the testing procedure.
Mayfield maintains he never was told what drug showed up in the positive test, so he may take legal action, and adds that he won't do a rehab assignment because he has nothing to rehab.
NASCAR officials escorted Mayfield off the premises, a little like catching a streaker at a baseball game after he jumps out of the stands and touches all the bases.
NASCAR responded to Mayfield's accusations, saying he was told not once, not twice, but three times what substance he used to cause the suspension.
Does anyone have some soap? I'm starting to feel dirty.
Someone isn't telling the truth. Someone has something to hide.
NASCAR officials say they won't reveal the substance to protect the privacy of the person involved. Mayfield doesn't seem to care. In fact, he's practically daring them to do it.
Mayfield said his positive test result was triggered by a prescription drug (which he hasn't revealed) and Claritin-D. He claims NASCAR is protecting a sponsor (Claritin is a primary sponsor of Carl Edwards and the No. 99 Ford) from possible embarrassment.
Jack Daniels and Budweiser also are car sponsors, but NASCAR wouldn't use those names in a positive test (for alcohol in excessive amounts). The same is true here for pseudoephedrine, the drug in Claritin-D.
This, of course, assumes Mayfield is telling the truth. He better be. If he isn't, he can forget about racing in NASCAR at any level.
Mayfield has gone out of his way to make NASCAR officials look bad and accuse them of deliberate impropriety, something they tend to remember and take personally.
The list is long of athletes in recent years who said one thing and did another. In Mayfield's case, we don't know. The other drivers don't know. They need to know.
Many drivers now are concerned and uncertain about medications. Some fear taking any medicine at all.
Couldn't that be worse? Failing to take a needed medication could endanger a driver and his fellow competitors on a racetrack.
"I need a better understanding of what I can and cannot do," driver Ryan Newman said last week. "The whole system would be fixed if they just told us what Jeremy did."
NASCAR chairman Brian France said last weekend that Mayfield had a "serious violation" and drivers shouldn't be worried about proper use of over-the-counter meds and legal prescriptions.
NASCAR officials also have told drivers to consult Dr. David Black, the physician who heads the Aegis Sciences facility that handles NASCAR's drug testing, if they have a question about any medication.
Drivers want a list of banned substances. NASCAR wants to retain the right to suspend someone for a possible substance they may have overlooked on a list.
Can't you have both?
NASCAR took a major step in the right direction this season by going to random drug testing for its competitors. But any new system is bound to have a few bugs to work out.
This entire sordid mess shows a good plan needs some retooling in order to avoid a sideshow that makes NASCAR look like the villain and enables the alleged offender to take the role of the victim.

Take a number if you have interest in Bankia's City National Bank of Florida. Among those expected to put in a bid are TD, BBT, PNC as well as two healthier Spanish lenders. Goldman is leading the sale and is asking $900M-$1B, while sources say $600M-$800M will get it done. "It is a nice little property ... but it is not a must-have," says one source, playing it cool.

St.Vincent Hospital Extends Emergency Care Services
Written by Administrator

Multiple felony drug charges filed against Lexington-area resident
Written by Marty Randall
Wednesday, 20 April 2011 00:00
An investigation of a recent domestic call resulted in the arrest of a Lexington area man on eight drug-related charges.
Daniel E. Richie, 31, Charlestown Road, was taken into custody by Chief Deputy Don Campbell on March 31 when Deputy Campbell went to a residence on East State Road 356 on a domestic situation or fight. As the officer pulled into the driveway of the residence, he said Richie sat down in the rear seat of a vehicle on the driver's side. When he made contact with Richie, Chief Deputy Campbell related that he saw a handgun lying on the seat of the vehicle. Richie could not provide a valid firearm license for the weapon, the officer said, and was subsequently arrested.

Long story short, I have a long code that uses jQuery. Lots of files, functions, etc. A less than ideal amount of our users are having issues with our code because some addons, toolbars and the like they have installed breaks our JavaScript code because of jQuery gets included twice and nasty stuff like that.
I thought I could just
- Include jQuery
- Use $.noConflict
- Then include the whole rest of my code between something like:
(function($) {
// All of my code goes here.
I haven't checked if this fixes our issues with those users, but it does work. The problem is, in one part of the site (image upload) we have an iframe that needs to call some of those functions defined in our big chunk of code. I've tried putting those functions out of this unnamed function call, but it uses, on itself, other functions which have to be there.
Any idea or workaround of how could I be able to access functions defined inside that function (shown above) from a code that's outside of it?

Hi lminervino,
Thanks for your feedback.
The handling of image uploads, and any kind of drag and drop functionality isn't really related to Optimizer, which is an add-on to help speed up your site (on the front-end) by only loading NextGEN's scripts and styles where a gallery shortcode is present.
Really, this should have been posted at the NextGEN Gallery review page, or ideally, a new topic should have been opened at the support forum instead.
That said, I'd be more than happy to help you troubleshoot...I'd just need to know what NextGEN Gallery options pages were giving you trouble, and the details of any admin notifications/error messages you were receiving. If you'd like to send through some screenshots of the above, you can email me here.
Kind regards,
This topic has been closed to new replies.

I am looking for something that does the opposite of auto-hide.
auto-hide is used to hide the taskbar/panel, it will remain hidden until you move the mouse pointer over the hidden taskbar location
So I am looking for something that shows the taskbar/panel until when the mouse pointer is over the taskbar/panel location. Because I got a "status" taskbar/panel on the right side of the screen:
and it kind of blocks part of the screen (and scroll bar of maximize window) so an "auto-show" that hide the taskbar/panel when i hover the mouse pointer will help since that panel doesn't really have anything I would need to click.

By Courtesy Asset (USF-I DCG A&T PAO)August 15, 2010
BAGHDAD - The Besmaya Combat Training Center was officially transferred to the Iraqi Army during a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Besmaya July 31.
The CTC will be the training site for 140 Iraqi Army-purchased M1A1 Abrams tanks. T
The first 11 tanks are scheduled to arrive this month, along with an M88A2 recovery vehicle. The remaining 129 tanks and seven recovery vehicles will be delivered before December 2011.
"Great armies train continuously. This combat training center is the premier collective training site for mechanized, light infantry and artillery forces in the country. It has hosted training for more than 80 percent of the Iraq Army during the last three years," said Lt. Gen. Michael D. Barbero, Deputy Commanding General, Advising and Training and NATO Training Mission-Iraq.
The Iraqi Army and U.S. Army have been working together since 2009 to familiarize Iraqi tank crewmembers with the Abrams tank in anticipation of the Iraqi tanks' arrival. More than 60 crews have already been trained. Iraqi crewmembers are also scheduled to receive a complete new equipment training package in conjunction with the fielding of the tanks.
According to Army Lt. Col. Tom Bentzel, Iraq Foreign Military Sales director for Project Manager Heavy Brigade Combat Team, the tanks will be transitioned to the Iraqis at the BCTC. Once fielded, the Iraqi Army is expected to integrate the tanks into the 9th Iraqi Army Mechanized Division located in central Iraq.

Figures Show Pedestrian Safety Initiative is Working
Data recently presented by the Transportation and Police departments to CountyStat indicate that -- thanks to County Executive Ike Leggett's Pedestrian Safety Initiative -- pedestrian collisions and the severity of collisions are heading downward. The initiative was released in December 2007.
One of the biggest successes of the Initiative has been the Safe Routes to School program where engineering improvements, bolstered by education and enforcement actions, at more than 50 schools have reduced pedestrian collisions by about 78 percent when comparing collision statistics from three years before the improvements with the time period after the improvements.
A key strategy of the Pedestrian Safety Initiative is also to target engineering, education and enforcement activities on County roadways with the highest number of pedestrian collisions, or the High Incidence Areas (HIAs). Since the first HIA safety audit was conducted in 2008, HIA collisions, as a percent of total pedestrian collisions in the County, have decreased from 10 percent to four percent in 2010.
CountyStat conducts periodic reviews of the components of the Pedestrian Safety Initiative that have played a critical and valuable role in the program to ensure that effective strategies are being employed to improve pedestrian safety.
The full CountyStat presentation is available on the County's website at www.montgomerycountymd.gov/countystat. For more information, contact CountyStat Manager Chris Cihlar at 240-777-2627 or email@example.com.
Bring Some Good Luck to a Black Cat
Did you know: Black cats are the least likely to be adopted in a shelter due to undeserved myths.
The Montgomery County Humane Society (MCHS) wants to change that!
So throughout September, the society is WAIVING ADOPTION FEES for the lucky adopters of a solid black cat or kitten over six months old from the MCHS shelter or in foster care.
Adoption applications must be completed in person. Bring a valid driver's license, proof of rabies shots for other pets in the home, landlord's name and phone number if applicable and veterinary reference. Montgomery County applicants take priority over others. Youths under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. For more details about adoption, click here.
Is Bus Rapid Transit the Ride of the Future in Montgomery County?
Last year, the Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) began a study to identify key transportation corridors in the County that could accommodate bus rapid transit (BRT) service -- a more predictable, streamlined bus service similar to light rail but with a lower cost.
The study recommends developing bus rapid transit along 16 corridors, totaling 150 miles. Passengers would pay in advance and enter low-floor buses directly through multiple doors -- no steps or lifts. Buses would arrive at stations every 10 minutes or less, preferably operating in the median of major roads such as Veirs Mill Rd., Georgia Ave. and Randolph Rd.
Next comes further discussions with neighboring agencies, jurisdictions and the general public.
For a copy of the bus rapid transit study, visit MCDOT's website.

Farm animals such as cattle, sheep and goats are prone to infection from a series of parasites including nematode worms, which pose the greatest threat to animal welfare, productivity and overall food safety. The current state-of-the-art treatment for worm infections involves drugs called anthelmintics. However, there are concerns over cost plus their impact on the environment, consumer health and the emergence of resistance, thus limiting their long-term suitability as the treatment of choice.
The EC-funded PARASOL project can now propose a new solution to solve problems associated with current practices. Realising the importance of anthelmintics in the long-term fight against nematode infections, the PARASOL consortium proposes the adoption of an innovative approach towards infection treatment, i.e. the administration of drugs only to those animals exhibiting clinical symptoms or decreased productivity. This Targeted Selective Treatments (TST) method aims at a rational use of resources over the long term, while at the same time reducing the risk of resistance.
Globally, anti-nematode control relies mostly on anthelmintics, and the related costs reach approximately 2.8 billion, the bulk of which is spent in Europe, the USA and Australasia. These costs are incurred by farmers and passed on to consumers. Currently, drugs are given to all animals in a herd, whether or not they display symptoms of nematode infection. This practice increases costs dramatically while the unnecessary use of drugs raises the risk of resistance to anthelmintics.
The novelty of TST lies in the fact that it does not burden healthy or symptom-free animals with unnecessary drug treatments, limiting them only to the livestock that need it. In effect, the method ensures a huge reduction in inputs and minimises the anthelmintic residue in food products such as milk, meat and wool but also on the environment.
The PARASOL consortium is investigating the effects of TST on a number of factors including productivity and animal welfare, as well as the spread of resistance genes in a variety of farming conditions. In addition, partners are working on the best methods of identifying the animals that need anthelmintic intervention, and on the assessment and development of resistance detection kits. These key innovations in farming practices will be communicated directly to stakeholders, including farmers, veterinarians and advisors, among others, through a comprehensive communication plan.
The PARASOL project takes off at a time when anthelmintic resistance is increasing at an alarming rate in farms, not only within the EU but also in INCO (International Cooperation) countries, with potentially devastating consequences. The low input and sustainable practices proposed with TST may prove to be the answer in guaranteeing long-term animal welfare and food safety in this area. An important aspect of the project is to understand the molecular processes behind these drug treatments, and use the emerging knowledge to improve on current treatments and on the proposed TST.
Animal research experts from northern and southern Europe, as well as Africa are now coming together under the PARASOL consortium to cooperate and exchange knowledge on the different farming practices in their regions that might affect TST. Farms across the EU, and as far as South Africa and Morocco, are expected to benefit, protecting their levels of productivity (which can be reduced by as much as 50% in certain cases of infection), and ensuring their economic viability.

Definition of poulterer in English:
A dealer in poultry and, typically, game.
Example sentences
- Further into Chinatown there are more traditional market-type shops, including fishmongers with plastic buckets of eels, poulterers with flattened ducks and grocers with rambutans, lychees and other tropical Asian fruits.
- It's good news for poulterers but poor news for the vicar - nearly three-quarters of us will tuck into turkey at Christmas, but little more than 25 per cent will attend a church service.
- Alas, the York poulterer had only large turkeys left in the shop, so what he did was cut the birds in half.
Late 16th century: from archaic poulter, in the same sense, from Old French pouletier.

Councilwoman Cantrell requests second sweep of homeless encampment
After residents complained that an initial sweep of a homeless encampment under the Pontchartrain Expressway simply moved the collection of tents and panhandlers from one side of St. Charles to the other, New Orleans City Councilwoman LaToya Cantrell is requesting city officials to return and clean out the area closer to the river as well.
Cantrell is also introducing a change to the city law that more specifically prohibits camping on public property, but said she is still looking to residents for answers to the larger question of how to get homeless people off the streets instead of moving them from one spot to another.

After sweeps, homeless camps moves closer to the river, neighbors say
Sweeps by New Orleans city officials of a homeless encampment under the Pontchartrain Expressway ultimately moved the collection of tents and people closer to the river on the other side of St. Charles Avenue, according to a report by our partners at WWL-TV. City officials called the first camp a health hazard and said they were helping the people there get into shelters, but residents say the problem merely moved: "Clearly, if the garbage and human waste is a 'public health concern' on one side of St. Charles, it has to be considered a 'public health concern' on the other side of St. Charles," nearby resident Jeff Keiser told The Advocate.

Thanks a lot it helps us to learn the proper reason to understand the reason why we do right it this way
I love your page… It's well stated and very explanatory…
why sites don't say anything about "o" ending. For example: potato-potatoes, tomato-tomatoes
was just going to ask the same…logos, silos, casinos, avocados…no e
Ad es to all then will be plural nouns
It's educating.
hey how about f so wolf is wolves and about adding ies like flies but not if there is a vowel before it

Construction projects in the Boston area
EF Education First building
In architectural renderings, the building about to rise next to the Zakim Bridge is designed to look like a massive waterfall, with a jagged column of glass cascading along the middle of its facade. The building is the latest creation of EF Education First, a company that offers academic classes and programs around the world.
The $125 million construction project will more than double the companys Cambridge campus and bring new momentum to the development of NorthPoint, a multibillion-dollar effort to build a minicity on 45 acres of former industrial land at the intersection of Boston, Cambridge, and Somerville.

I'm no carpenter, but I do wear a tool belt. I keep IWB with a tee shirt over it then go ahead and put the belt on. It isn't very expedient, but it is there.
This is a discussion on Carpenters? within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Do we have any carpenters out here who carry while working? How do you carry it?...
Do we have any carpenters out here who carry while working?
How do you carry it?
Think twice
Buy once!
I'm no carpenter, but I do wear a tool belt. I keep IWB with a tee shirt over it then go ahead and put the belt on. It isn't very expedient, but it is there.
The preceding post may contain sarcasm; it's just better that way. However, it is still intended with construction and with the Love of my L-rd Y'shua.
NRA Certified Pistol Instructor, World Drifter
I carry IWB too. It wasn't that big of a deal with a flannel shirt during the winter, but now with just a t-shirt I really have to watch how I reach. Most of my t-shirts are the longer tail, but even so I'm so tall and skinny, so it's still not long enough. I just hate having a shirt that's long enough be so big the sleeves go to my elbows.
I'm seriously considering trying a smart carry though.
"Lord, help me to be the person my dog thinks I am."
Carpenters can have a tough time finding a good carry spot....plumbers on the other hand always have a spot available they just might fail to conceal when bending over
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"
--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC .
I'm not a carpenter but I do a lot of mowing, trimming, etc. in the summer. Moving around quite a bit as I work. I wear jeans with oversize t-shirts and carry IWB. Works better with my Kahr CW9 than my CZ 75 but it can be done. I'm careful not to get exposed as I work.
I'm not a carpenter, but I do wear a tool belt. I've been trying to come up with a way to carry besides in my pocket. My 642 protrudes out of my pocket, besides I despise pocket carry. If I carry IWB my tool belt covers the gun and my tool belt wont fit. Also I couldn't get to the gun if I needed to.
I just ordered me a nylon carry bag thats about 6x9 inches. It will attach to my tool belt. It has a belt loop on it so it'll be secure. The pouch is actually for a cell phone, pens or other odds and ends that ya might want to carry.
I don't want to settle for a 380, so I'm working on carrying my 38.
With the work I do, the pouch wont look out of place. It may on a carpenters belt. Maybe find a leather pouch with a flap that would attach to your belt.
I do some carpentry work as a side job, IWB works well for me.
I wear bib overalls which is typical carpenter clothing and I always carry under my bibs. Either with my Crossbreed holster and my Sig .40 on a belt under the bibs or my Baby Eagle .40 with a Kramer on a belt under the bibs. I also depending on my mood wear a Smart Carry that will hold either with an extra magazine. They are all easy to get to under the bib and the Smart Carry holster is probably the easiest to wear under the bibs.
Life member NRA since 1983
I carry a Colt Delta Elite 10mm in Milt Sparks VM2 with 2 extra magazines on my belt. This is normally worn on a belt under my bib overalls and works great for me. My wife carries a Walther PPS .40 w/Crossbreed holster.
I've been a finish carpenter for 25 yrs, I have a small pouch (3x5) made out of leather, my model 60 fits in it perfectly.
One thing that I had to get used to was not just dropping my bags somewhere when lunch came around, as we all know what happens to unattended bags (they sometimes get nailed to the floor, tools scattered around, etc). I work by myself anymore so the bags go with me when I go to the truck.
"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier
and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the
service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the
love and thanks of man and woman."
-- Thomas Paine (The American Crisis, No. 1, 19 December 1776)
I carry a Keltec P32. Small of back. Flat and Light. Barely noticable to me with a tool belt on. I use the Keltec belt clip, attached to the pistol. Extra mag is in a small multi-tool pouch, carried in an "extra leg pocket" of carpenter style workpants.

Too Many Projects!!
The new issue (#10) of
The Work Magazine Reprint Project
came out last week. As it is I am behind in my reading, but there are two killer projects in it.
1- The cover article is on carving frames and the detail they show for carving the corner is exactly the sort of thing I am studying carving for. I'm bogged down in life at the moment so my carving lessons are going slower than I would like but they are going and this corner detail is just over my current skill level but not impossible. I love how the branches intermingle (very William Morris-y). I'm going to decide next week if I am going to give it a shot.
Incidentally Chrs Pye stresses learning to carve with both hands. When I first started out the handholds he stressed and the use of both hands felt awkward and unnatural. But now, in the carving I am doing right now, I find myself changing hands and grips all the time, it feels as natural as can be, and it makes is so much easier to follow the grain of the wood.
2 - If you recall from a few weeks ago I wrote about the Duncan Phyfe exhibit that was at the MET. At the show there was a fireplace screen desk that I thought was the coolest thing in the show. Well here it is. This is less decorative than the Phyfe design but otherwise the same. When this issue of the magazine was originally published (1889) steam heat was just coming in but a lot of people would still have gas or coal burners installed in their fireplaces. The desk is designed to keep your feet warm but keep the fire off your face while you work. Cool - no? Anyway I thought it would be a killer desk for a laptop or an IPad. (especially these days where I am really trying to get rid of paper). It's only 18" wide, which I think is a little narrow, but it is designed to be very simple to build. And I would skip the desk light. This is a weekend project unless you add bells and whistles (build one and make me green with envy).
Download the issue here.
Do I have any time to actually build either of these project? Fat chance. It's summer, I am outside on the weekends, I am in the middle of a giant store project (so I can't do it on company time) and with the carving I have a month or so of studying to go.
My next project? a 32 hour clock. Wish me luck.

I searched around and I was surprised that I couldn't find an answer to this question. My assumption is that you have multiple servers. Normally they both will be doing their specific take (for the rest of this I will assume a simple website). Now lets say server A & B need updates. Do you update server A while server B keeps pushing out the webpage and then when server A is okay you update server B? This seems like it would work in small scale but seems horrible in large scale due to the fact that you'd need twice the power that you normally have. When dealing with a large number of servers do you update small sections at a time? I thought the problem with this would be if server A can't work alongside server B C D E or F any-longer that's not that bad. But when you start updating you slowly lose this small percentage.
What is the proper way to deal with updates like this?

Photographic Visions
By 1x.com
Over the last few years, most books on photography emphasized explaining the new breed of cameras and how to master the digital imaging workflow. In The Art of Black and White Photography Torsten Andreas Hoffmann takes a different approach, as he focuses on image composition and image capture, with an emphasis on the creative aspects of black and white photography, rather than on the digital workflow.
After introducing the ground rules of composition, the author illustrates their applications with various photographic genres such as architecture, street photography, portraiture, and surreal photography with his own stunning black and white images. In the second part of the book, Hofmann illustrates the elements of a photographic language , which distinguishes creative photography from random shooting. The final part of the book is dedicated to post-processing techniques, mostly in Photoshop (CS3), emphasizing the functions that are necessary for creating outstanding black and white images.

March 21, 2000 - Tuesday's Supreme Court decision on tobacco gave two current presidential candidates and a former candidate a chance to tout some familiar ideas. The court found that the FDA doesn't have the authority to regulate tobacco. The decision, in effect, kicks the issue back to Congress, which has to decide whether to give the FDA that authority.
"Today's decision by the Supreme Court puts the issue back in Congress' court," Vice President Al Gore noted as he addressed a group gathered to discuss the 2000 US Census. Showing that he can cast almost every issue in a political light, Gore went on, "It is time for the Republican Congress and George W. Bush to show their independence from 'Big Tobacco' and do the right thing by passing legislation that has a bipartisan support base in the Congress."
Gore and his family have raised tobacco on their Tennessee farm, a fact that wanders in and out of the candidate's stump speeches, depending on where he is. But he has fairly steadfastly maintained the Clinton administration's hard line against tobacco companies.
Gore emphasized the addictive and deadly properties of tobacco, and parenthetically reminded his audience how important the next president will be in determining the Supreme Court's complexion. But he didn't criticize the Court's decision, instead saying the onus lies with Congress to find a way to regulate tobacco.
He preached about how the tobacco companies seek to make smoking attractive to children, and seized the opportunity presented by a crying baby in the room. "You don't need to take him out on my account," Gore said. "That's sort of background music for what I'm saying here."
Governor George W. Bush weighed in as well, with a written statement from his office in Austin, Texas. Touting his state's own anti-smoking laws as "some of the nation's toughest," he didn't refer directly to the Court's decision, but said that "decisions about tobacco regulation should be made by Congress and state legislatures."
Candidate-in-suspension John McCain, who has long railed against Big Tobacco, said he was "not surprised" by the ruling. As he concluded his first remarks on the Senate floor since returning to Washington, he told reporters, "I always had those constitutional concerns about the FDA's ability to do that, particularly without legislation." He noted that the tobacco bill he backed sought to give the FDA that authority. That bill failed, and McCain said he didn't see much hope for new legislation in Congress, thanks to the power of the tobacco companies.
"Having encountered the influence of special interests," McCain said, warming to his theme, "I have to tell you I'm not optimistic we'll be able to get (a bill passed) until we have campaign finance reform."
