I have a python webservice running locally using GAE Python SDK 1.8.3. After annotating the API and generating iOS client classes using Google Cloud Endpoints Service Generator I'm trying to call a remote procedure using it.
If I test my api using API Explorer, everything works just fine.
When I call using the iOS client, the call is received by the webservice, however the request cannot be decoded correctly. This is my first time using the Endpoints API so I don't know what is wrong.
What seems to be happening is that my request object is being wrapped in a "resource" key in the query JSON. Now, when my webservice tries to decode it, it yields a warning saying "No variant found for unrecognized field: resource". And, as my object is wrapped inside this key, it is skipped and never decoded to a message.
When the call is made using the API Explorer the object is not wrapped, so everything works.
This is what I'm doing in my webservice:
path='search', http_method='post',
def search(self, request):
user = request.user
number = request.number
This is how I call it from iOS:
GTLMyAPIMessagesSearchRequest * request = [[GTLMyAPIMessagesSearchRequest alloc] init];
request.user = @"+552199881234";
request.number = @"+5521717171";
GTLQueryMyAPI *query = [GTLQueryMyAPI queryForApiSearchWithObject:request];
[service executeQuery:query completionHandler:^(GTLServiceTicket *ticket,
GTLMyAPIMessagesContactListResponse* object,
NSError *error)
NSArray* contacts = object.contacts;
Am I doing anything incredibly wrong here?

Hopping down the Bunny Trail
Published: Friday, March 28, 2003 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 28, 2003 at 10:28 a.m.
Spring is here, and Easter is right around the corner! Ever wondered what it was like for Peter Cottontail to hide all those eggs and deliver all those baskets of goodies? Well why not ask mom and dad for permission and have an Easter egg hunt for you and your friends! I will give you a few ideas to get your very own Easter egg hunt started.
First, make a list of all the little bunny rabbits you want to invite to your egg hunt. Then search the web for creative ideas for invitations and decorations. Ask your parents to help you look for web sites such as www.enchantedlearning.com and www.allcrafts.net. These sites are full of fun crafts to prepare for or use at your party. You can make your own baskets out of pipe cleaners and strawberry baskets, add fuzzy bunny ears to your invitations and make flowers out of empty egg cartons. You might even have some Easter ideas of your own! After your invitations are made, ask mom or dad to drop them off in the mail, or why not hop from house to house to hand deliver them to your closest friends?
Now, we cannot forget the most important of an Easter egg huntóthe eggs! Dying eggs has always been one of my favorite things about Easter. Sure you can run to the store and buy the packets to dye your eggs, but wouldn't it be really cool to do it yourself? There are many ways to dye your eggs without having to use a store bought kit. I found some really cool ideas from www.stretcher.com, including dying eggs the natural way. Here is what they suggest:
This Easter, why not color your eggs using nature's very own dyes? It's possible to come up with a great number of colors using natural ingredients that can easily be found in almost any kitchen.
Pale Red: Fresh beets or cranberries, frozen raspberries
Orange: Yellow onion skins
Light yellow: Orange or lemon peels, carrot tops, celery seed or ground cumin
Yellow: Ground turmeric
Pale green: Spinach leaves
Green-gold: Yellow Delicious apple peels
Blue: Canned blueberries or red cabbage leaves
Beige to brown: Strong brewed coffee
To dye the perfect Easter eggs the natural way, here's what to do:
Put eggs in a single layer in a pan. Pour water in pan until the eggs are covered.
Add about a teaspoon of vinegar.
Add the natural dye appropriate to the color you want your eggs to be. (The more eggs you are dying at a time, the more dye you will need to use.)
Bring water to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
Remove the substance you used to color the eggs. Put eggs in a bowl.
If you want your eggs to be a darker shade, cover them with the dye and let them stand overnight in the refrigerator.
If this seems too difficult for you, I have an easier way to do it! I can remember when I was a little girl, my grandmother and I would spend the whole day dying eggs for our family Easter egg hunt, and this is how we did it:
After the eggs were boiled we would let them cool to room temperature. We would line up cups and put about 3 tablespoons of vinegar and æ cups water in each one. Then, we would use 4-5 drops of food coloring in each cup to make the different colors. Use your imagination when picking colors, and remember yellow and blue make green and orange and blue make purple and so on. We would then stir up our mixtures and slowly drop an egg in each cup. After letting the eggs sit for about 3-4 minutes, we would have beautifully colored eggs!
Now that the eggs are dyed and the guests have arrived, it's time to hide the eggs. Maybe you can ask an older brother or sister or a neighbor to hide the eggs, so you can hunt for them too. Don't forget the most important part of an Easter egg hunt.the golden egg! At my house, we always made one of the boiled eggs extra beautiful and special to use as the golden egg. Whoever found the golden egg won a prize! At your party, you can use some of the crafts you made to give away as prizes. You can also give a prize to whoever found the most eggs, or why not just give a prize to everyone! Whatever the case, your Easter egg hunt is sure to be a huge success.

Jason breeds nice dogs! Good luck with the pup!
If they're anything like their dad, they'll teach us a lot! Maestro is hands down my favorite dog I've ever been around. Terrific marker, total team player, highly intelligent, and a definite off...
WBFs Tin Cloth Rugged Woodsmen "Filson"
I have your pups brother, and will get to watch their other brother grow up as well. Here's WBF's Ace In The Field "Maven".
Put pvc caps under the legs to get them off the ground. Spray with a clear coat, or bedliner if you're not worried about looks.
When I build I am putting a shower in the garage, with shower head at human height and a handheld shower wand at dog height.
SmartWorks, Fowl Dogs, Duck Dog Basics, Basics with Judy Aycock and Danny Farmer, Total Retriever Training... All in no particular order. There are tons and tons of great programs out there, mostly...
As someone with 11 years of experience in automotive dealerships, here's my take: They should replace the engine on their dime. Have you talked to the General Manager about trading you out of it...
Definitely take a look at Maestro. He's a once-in-a-lifetime type dog. Pinpoint marker with GUTS since he was a baby. Great off switch. Perfect gentleman with Danny's kids, other dogs, or anyone...
I'll third Danny Haas at Oklahoma Duck Dogs. Great guy, better dog trainer, and a Coweta boy like myself! Can't go wrong with him.
Here's a couple of my brown dog. Gotta love the way they'll pick up your ducks, scare off a stranger, and play with your toddler all in the same day!

U.S. stocks rose modestly on Thursday, after investors weighed an upbeat report on U.S. jobless claims against no signs of progress in budget negotiations in Washington. However, a rally by Loblaw Cos. Ltd. wasn't enough to lift Canada's benchmark index.
The S&P 500 closed at 1413.94, up 4.66 points or 0.3 per cent. The blue-chip Dow Jones industrial average closed at 13074.04, up 39.55 points or 0.3 per cent. In Canada, the S&P/TSX composite index closed at 12,151.13, down 6.16 points or less than 0.1 per cent.
U.S. initial jobless claims fell to 370,000 for the period ended last week, down from 395,000 in the previous week and better than expectations, suggesting that the hurricane-related setback to employment is now subsiding.
The European Central Bank left its key interest rate unchanged, at 0.75 per cent, but cut the region's growth and inflation forecasts. The ECB believes the euro zone will not escape its economic slump until the second half of 2013, raising the prospect of rate cuts ahead.
Loblaw surged 13.7 per cent after the grocer announced plans to spin off its real estate holdings into a separate publicly traded real estate investment trust next year.
Primaris Retail REIT rose less than 0.1 per cent after its chief executive said that the $4.4-billion bid from a consortium led by KingSett Capital was insufficient.
Lululemon Athletica Inc. rose 7.1 per cent after reporting a 37 per cent increase in sales in the most recent quarter and announcing plans to open its first store in Hong Kong as it ramps up its international expansion plans.
Canadian bank stocks were generally weak. Toronto-Dominion Bank fell 1.8 per cent after it reported a 0.5 per cent increase in its earnings over last year. TD also said it would pay $668-million to buy U.S. asset manage Epoch Holding Corp. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce fell 0.5 per cent after reporting a 13 per cent gain in its fourth quarter earnings but a 1.1 per cent decline in revenues.
Among commodities, crude oil fell to $86.26 a barrel, down $1.62. Gold rose to $1,701.80 an ounce, up $8. Suncor Energy Inc. fell 0.6 per cent and Barrick Gold Corp. was unchanged.
Apple Inc. halted its slump, rising 1.6 per cent after a 6.4 per cent dip on Wednesday. The company's chief executive, Tim Cook, hinted in a television interview that Apple was preparing to launch its own television, which is seen by some investors as the company's next breakthrough technology.Report Typo/Error

Willandra Lakes Region, Australia
Location of the regionThe Willandra Lakes Region (34°S, 143°E) is a World Heritage Area located in the Murray Basin in southwestern New South Wales. The area is divided diagonally in a southwestern to northeastern direction by the boundary of Balranald Shire and Wentworth Shire.
Outline the geographic characteristics of the immediate/local regionTheir is very minimal human activity in the Wilandra lakes region. It only has a population of approx. 40 people and these people live on the outskirts of the river beds. It comprimises a varirty of minerals such as calcareous sand, marl, limestone and red dirt, and also hosts vegetation such as grasslands and cypress pine trees. The Willandra lakes which once housed six major lakes covering a total area of 1,088sq. kilometers (km) was bountiful with pristine water, has unfortunately undertaken the process of desertification. Where there once was flowing water is now nothing but dry land. There are no buildings or industries located in or near the Wilandra lakes with fair reason, it does suggest an unfit location for infastructure, the topograpghy is very undulating and full of sand dunes. The climate supports a semi arid condition, this means that it recieves a low annual rainfall of 250-500 mm.
|Willandra Lakes Region
Identify the significant issues/conflict present in the locationThere are no obvious conflicts or issues present in the Willandra lakes region, this is due to no water for the governments to argue over.
Identify the groups involved in the conflict
There are no groups involved in a conflict, because there is no conflicts or issues.
Identify and rank the factors (SHEEPPT) underlying the conflict
Physical: The importance of processes such as evaporation, precipitaion, global warming and erosion vary in each debate.
Historical: Past connection to the location, site or resource.
Enviormental: This is a matter of an individuals knowledge, aesthetic appreciation or past experience.
Political: Past and present government policies and action; this applies to all levels of government.
Economic: Will I/we benefit in financial terms?
Social: Education, interests, exposure, to the discussion.
Technological: New methods, treatments and discoveries can influence current/future practice.
Are there any policies and/or strategies available in this location to manage water
There are currently no policies or strategies available in this location to manage water. If there is no water then there is no need for a plan to manage it. The land belongs to the Government of the state of New South Wales and they have rights to do whatever they feel necessary to the region.
Final summary of the location's future
With Australia's current weather situation, it is unlikely that the Willandra lakes will be recieveing water anytime soon. El Niño has affected the amount of rainfall significantly, leaving most eastern regions of Australia in drought like conditions. If the region was to recieve heavy amounts of rainfall in the near future it is quite likely that the lakes will be restored back to its prior conditions before the drought. Due to the area being listed as a world heritage site, there will be no urbanisation taking place there or unnecessary human activity.
Extra Info
- Some 20 mammalian species have been recorded in the area, including the red and grey kangaroo, echidnas and several species of bats. These animals are going to continue to call this semi arid region home for a long time to come, with little to no human involvment, they are able to live in peace and prosperity.
- Aboriginal remains have been found in sand dunes in the Willandra lakes region dating back to approx. 40,000 years ago
- Parts of the Willandra Lakes system include: Lake Mulurulu, Willandra Creek, Garnpung Lake, Lake Leaghur, Lake Mungo, Lake Arumpo, Chibnalwood Lakes.
- In 1981 the Willandra lakes was added to the World heritage list.
Date and History of EstablishmentOnly a small portion of Willandra Lakes Region is legally protected, namely Mungo National Park which was gazetted in 1979, under the New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Act, 1974. The size of the national park was increased by 13,000 hectare (ha), to its current size, under a proclamation published in the Government Gazette No. 51 of 27 March 1986. Willandra Lakes Region was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1981. The original boundary of the World Heritage Property, encompassing 600,000 ha, was modified and reduced to its current size in 1995.
Area240,000 ha, including Mungo National Park (27,847 ha).
Land TenureGovernment of the State of New South Wales.
AltitudeApproximately 70 meters (m) at the center of the region.
Physical FeaturesThe Willandra Lakes Region comprises a system of dry lakes formed during the lower Tertiary, when marine transgressions in the Murray Basin deposited calcareous sand, marl and limestone. These were overlain by sands and dunefields in the Quaternary. The region is characterized by linear dunes, whose west to east orientation reflects the controlling wind system. Although these relict features were stabilized by vegetation, they were reactivated around 18,000 Before Present (BP) to 16,000 BP and were subsequently re-established.
The interconnected lake basins were fed by a former tributary of the Lachlan River known as Willandra Billabong Creek. The six major lakes and numerous smaller depressions covered an area of 1,088 sq. kilometers (km), and ranged in size from ephemeral ponds to Lake Garnpung, which was over 10 m deep and over 500 sq. km. The formation of crescent lunette dunes on the eastern side of the lakes has been dated to at least 40,000 years to about 15,000 years ago, with an intensive period of dune building between 18,000 and 16,000 years ago.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - The dripping red wax seal on a bottle of Maker's Mark bourbon is not only distinctive, it now legally belongs to the Kentucky company.
A federal judge issued an injunction Friday preventing a rival liquor company from using a dripping wax seal, ending a seven-year legal battle over the bottle topper.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge John G. Heyburn II comes in a lawsuit Maker's Mark filed against London-based Diageo North America and Casa Cuervo of Mexico over the Kentucky company's trademark on the wax seal.
Cuervo used a dripping red wax seal on a special bottle of its Reserva tequila, which was distributed by Diageo.
Heyburn's ruling barred the companies from using the seal, but did not award damages to Maker's Mark.

"Also, please try and explain the second part of his comment."
the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.
Can't explain that. I'm not a doctor but know how the female body works. :-)
No worries, people like UncleSlayton will take pride in voting for an "ideologically pure candidate", all while essentially sending an avowed abortionist back to the Senate as a result, but hey, they'll sleep better at night for it.
Wishful thinking. That same kind of thinking is the ONLY reason Dingy Harry is still Senate Leader. Todd Akin meet Sharron Angle.
Not only that but I think the Missouri Secretary of State has a say in the matter and could muddy the waters. Not that Robin Carnahan would ever use her office to do something like that. </sarcasm>
Get off your high horse.
He won the primary and is still (post comments) ahead of McCaskill. If he's ahead now, with all the media firestorm, he'll be way ahead in November once things have simmered down. Don't buy the RINO garbage.
"That is what is on his Facebook page today, by the way."
I didn't know that but just as soon as I read his statement I knew exactly what he was trying to say.
I'm more worried about posters like you not seeing, or realizing, that this was a contrived incident.
"which increases the risk of miscarriage. "
You do understand that pregnancy generally comes before a miscarriage......or how do things work in your world?
"Have Steelman do a Murkowski."
It won't work. It worked for Murkowski & Lieberman because they had both been Senators FOR YEARS.
And I don't think either ran in a pres. year (Maybe lieberman did). In a pres. year running a 3rd party candidate really risks getting McCaskill re-elected.
Better to let this schmuck stay on the ticket and HOPE Romney's got enough coattails to carry him across.
It's either that or the party goes to court tomorrow to try and dislodge him against his will. But I'm not sure they would even have standing to do that.
He's really a prideful, despicable pig. And if Huckabee is still supporting him, so is he.
Also, if you looked a little deeper, you'd find that studies show that about 10-15% of pregnancies due to rape result in a miscarriage.
No, he is falling for democrat money and democrat trolls.
Senate seats were historically appointments by state legislatures and/or governors.
Akin's will be the zombie candidacy of 2012.
Ahead where? In a PPP poll that oversampled Republicans by eight points in order to keep him in the race?
Set aside Akin's appeal to the pro-life voter (and I'm one of them, in Ohio); his complete and utter stupidity in letting the words he spoke pass through his lips is enough to disqualify him for office. He should use his Master's in Divinity to preach, and get the h*ll out of the race.
I think Mary's right and YOU'RE wrong.
When a person is under attack your entire hormonal balance is completely changed, starting with the adrenal glands that regulate fight or flight. It is not far fetched that the odds of getting pregnant diminish when you're under duress. Akin said it was RARE, which I agree with.
Now, I've seen you fervently, frothingly, posting on all these threads about Akin needing to go. He probably does at this point since there is no funding left but I believe everything needs to take a deep breath and evaluate what he actually said. He said it very poorly but he's not necessarily wrong.
Like Biden? Like obama and his "57 states". Talk about stupid.What you mean is 'politically correct" right? And its ok to not be politically correct in saying that 'Barack is articulate and CLEAN" That's freedom of speech but we as republicrats can't say a physiological provable fact? You're kidding me right?
He may have won the primary fair and square, but he will lose because of his stupidity.
Control of the senate is the most important issue, not sticking to some antiquated notions of some of the short-sighted purists around here.
BTW, I'm no RINO, but I am a REALIST and above all a PRAGMATIST. I agree with Lombardi that winning isn't every thing, its the only thing.
The storm isn't going to blow over...it hasn't even begun. You can bet the McCaskill campaign has a trunk full of Akinisms that they will use all the way until election day...saving the best for last.
This guy is a momentum black hole.
The $2 million Claire McCaskill spent on pushing this dimwit across the finish line in the primaries was the most effective $2 million any candidate has ever spent.
Expect this to become a more frequent Dem strategy, picking out the dumbest Republican candidate, the one least able to stand up to scrutiny and most likely to make of fool of themselves and supporting them financially through the primaries.
This just shows the one issue voters would rather have a martyr to the cause than an electable candidate who would be a million times better for the unborn than McCaskill.
There is a real simple solution to all this. Akin steps aside and is replaced with a woman candidate. This issue would go away in a week. If he selfishly stays in this goes national and every GOP candidate will be carpet bombed with Akin's comments until November.
There were 3 candidates in the Senate primary, and all 3 were beating McCaskill handily in head-to-head competitions, yes? This guy should step aside and let someone with a filter between their brain and mouth step in.
"The winning act is to go on the attack quickly and thats what I think hell do."
Really? Because as of today he's on TV saying: I know rape is very bad.
His stupid remark is not the only thing HE can talk about.
He's toast, he's too stupid to get his own foot out of his mouth, he won't be able to get away from this remark, not for the rest of his political life. Which, if it survives the next few hours, might last until November. But I'll be pretty surprised if it makes it past that.
There really is no way to force him out. He did win an election. If Claire ran ads for him, if it was snowy that day, if he tricked everyone, if his opponent got caught with a live boy or a dead woman. All that matters is the numbers. There really is no system for a party to force someone out that won that im aware of.
BUT, they can repudiate this dimwit and utterly disavow him and promise to marginalize him in every way they can. NO committes, his legislation gets nowhere, no cash, no assistance,,etc.
He is clearly too uneducated for the job, and is our version of Shiela Jackson Lee. She is a blathering idiot, but has the right skin color and mentality for her district. Akin is a divinity student who is great on abortion, but is otherwise a dim bulb. He is surfing that prolife position.
It would be better to have a prolifer with intelligence and accomplishments.
Its what stupid people do, stupidity is a habit, not a one-time isolated event and Akin is about as dumb as they come.
I don't always buy that silly meme. You certianly do let the media and Dems do your thinking. You want to change the thinking among the electorate? You don't fold over a dumb remark after the candidate has apologized, and let the enemy Dems set the agenda. If Akins left the Senate race the Dims would are still going to use his remark against the Rs. And Missouri is not ODonnell's Delaware. The Missouri Senate election depends how Akin from here on out runs his campaign.
Here's a real bad habit. Repubs don't really know how to win but they certianly know how to lose. You guys are fragile porcelain always getting and looking to be broken.
"not the only" should be "NOW the only"
One little word.....
This. McCaskill has yet to start campaigning against this clown and he's only up by a couple points.
Soon enough she's going to unload both barrels into him hard and fast, and by the time the smoke clears, Akin won't know what him, he'll be down by double-digits and the same fools backing him now will still be saying "he'll do it, he'll turn it around, he's a good Pro-life conservative after all, just like Sharron Angle and Ken Buck."
Come on, now, don't take snippets of what I said.
A pregnant woman under stress, and having a baby from an act of rape has to be (I'm not a woman so that's opinion) stressful on a woman, produces higher levels of cortisol which increases the risk of miscarriage.
You do understand that pregnancy generally comes before a miscarriage...
Why, yes, I do.
See that first part? A pregnant woman under stress...
Pregnancy before miscarriage.
...or how do things work in your world?
Nice try. Try again.
Akin citing PPP R+9 push poll (PPP trap works on prideful 65-yr old sucker)
There might be another way, but the Dems and Obama are so much better at it. Akin has been in politics a long time. The party should know where the bodies are buried. He could be approached and told he has until 5pm to withdraw or be hauled off in handcuffs (assuming there is anything to use).
If Akin stays in the race and the GOP denies him the usual funding and resources then it will be THEIR fault if the seat is lost. I'd like to know just what cause they're fighting for that makes it worth losing the Senate over.
Don't forget to itemize the DUmmy trolls that chime in to support a sure Republican loser.
In other words, before too long, it will be, for Missouri voters:
ABM = Anyone But McCaskill
Akin does need to learn how to express himself more gracefully, particularly when it comes to extremely sensitive issues like rape and abortion. There is nothing wrong with his opposing all abortions (including those incident to rape), but he has no business using the words "legitimate" and "rape" close together in the same sentence. He knows that now.
I find it hard to believe that there are not provisions within the state party to allow for the forcible replacement of candidates, regardless of whether they won a primary.
"Dims will likely overplay their hands about Akin's remark and they will suffer a boomerang effect "
Yes, there's been some of that already. R candidates just have to repudiate his first remarks to appear 'moderate on women's issues'. Which they've done- as he has himself.
That's got to mess up the Dems' 'war on women' strategy.
No more apologizing though, he has to go on the attack quickly.
( and wow! what a pity party is going on here...)
So Ashcroft, Malkin, Coulter, Hannity, and Rush are all RINOs?
What an ego. He thinks he is the only pro-life Republican. He thinks no one can replace him to carry the torch to save the most innocent. What good is his pro-life position if he has just thrown the race to McCasKILL? It is all about him. What an arrogant *ss.
He threw the race. He is the 1919 Black Sox of politics.
I think both you and her have a poor understanding of science in general.
Heightened adrenal response does not shut down the reproductive organs. In some cases sexual responses are identified such as a woman becoming aroused during a rape to protect against damage to the inner lining of the vagina, even orgasm is entirely possible during a forced rape.
One only has to look at history and the many armies that raped and pillaged and left behind a nation of bastard children.
The science is also clear on there not being some magic way of the woman protecting against pregnancy as Akins insisted.
"If its a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down"
Once again, why old male politicians shouldn't comment on the female reproductive system, it rarely goes over well.
Ever read about what happened in Berlin in the spring of '46? A lot of German women were having Russian babies. Guess they must not have read your study before they were raped.
So that's what your Republican party stands for? Crass, calculating gender or racial politics? My Republican party stands for letting the voters decide what candidate they want and expecting all appointed candidates to be chosen WITHOUT regard to gender or race.
This issue would go away in a week. If he selfishly stays in this goes national and every GOP candidate will be carpet bombed with Akins comments until November.
This "issue" of a few misspoken words has no substance to it and will be going away regardless. Romney selfishly keeping his tax returns private is the albatross around the GOP's neck that will destroy our chances of taking the White House for no good reason whatsoever.
If only the state GOPe didn't hate that candidate with a passion.
This dope makes Sharon Angle (whom I strongly supported) and Christine O'Donnell (whom I really didn't care about) look like Margaret Thatcher & Gold Meir by comparison.
Yep.. and she actually contributed to his campaign. The best investment she ever made. Her campaign must've had some great intel about Akin... they called it exactly right. Much as I despise that witch McCaskill, I have to give her props for a brilliant strategic maneuver. I wish Repubs were as on their toes.
Oh sure, he'll win all right.
He'll win... reelection for McCaskill. He'll win the Senate Majority for Harry Reid. He might even perform a hat trick and win the White House for Obama.
"Soon all his senior staff will be gone..."
Really, they should have quit en mass before now.
Not to mention Allen West, the Tea Party as a whole, Ron Johnson, Sarah Palin.....this guy has united conservatives of every variant in telling him to just go away.

Free of SLS chemicals (sodium laurel sulfate) Perfectly suitable for vegetarians Clean and fresh, cinnamon taste Healthy teeth that are whiter and stronger Contains 25% Xylitol, one of the highest contents available! Proven safe for both adults and children alike A toothpaste unilke anything you've ever experienced Unlike many of the chemicals found in other fluoride based, whitening toothpastes, xylitol is a natural, well-tolerated substance commonly found in fruits, berries and other natural sources. In fact, the human body even manufactures its own supply - up to 15 grams, everyday. Xyliwhite is an all-natural refreshmint toothpaste made from select materials and guaranteed to be of superior quality.* Xyliwhite toothpaste is completely safe for users of every age. Our decision to introduce new Xyliwhite toothpaste was not made overnight. Rather, it was the result of intense worldwide research and official endorsements from 6 international dental associations. Though it was discovered in the 1800s, xylitol research has surged over the last 50 years. Some of the most notable studies (including those conducted at Finlands Turku University) have tested xylitols ability to fight cavities, plaque, gingivitis, dry mouth and bad breath. Others have tested its ability to help neutralize plaque acids, assist in the re-mineralization of tooth enamel and attack the bacteria that can cause tooth decay. At the end of the day, this research ultimately suggests that xylitol may help promote a smile that is whiter, brighter and far more healthy.

Thousands of opponents and supporters of Slovenia's embattled Prime Minister Janez Jansa held noisy rival rallies Friday as the small eurozone member's political crisis rumbled on.
Organisers said about 12,000 people attended the pro-Jansa event in Ljubljana's central Congress Square on Friday morning, though police estimated there were about 9,000 present.
Police said an anti-Jansa demo held later on attracted some 20,000 people.
"We've been pushed to the point at which we will have to act firmly against this leftist fascism, against threats, violence and chaos," Jansa, attending a European Union summit in Brussels, told the flag-waving crowd in a pre-recorded speech.
"This is just the beginning, we will have to gather more often and show our strength."
Jansa is fighting to stay in office at the head of a government with just 36 seats in the 90-seat parliament after two parties withdrew from the coalition, the latest on Tuesday.
They abandoned the centre-right Jansa after Slovenia's corruption watchdog levelled accusations of tax irregularities against the premier in January. A third party has also threatened to quit if Jansa does not resign.
Jansa, already on trial over an allegedly dodgy defence deal, has rejected the new accusations and said he intends to stay in office.
Jansa's lack of support in parliament makes it tough for him to implement austerity cuts and the deep structural reforms needed to pull the two-million-strong country out of recession.
Problems at Slovenia's banks, struggling under a mountain of bad debts, have raised speculation that the former Yugoslav republic, once a model newcomer to the European Union, may need a bailout.
A 52-year-old jobless demonstrator from Ljubljana, Irena, told AFP at the pro-Jansa demo that she came to express her patriotic feelings and "for that Slovenia we got in the 1990s when we declared independence (from Yugoslavia)."
"I'm not a rightist, I'm a patriot, for Slovenia and for me and my children getting a job," she said, adding that she was afraid the situation in Slovenia was worsening "and could, horribly, end in a civil war."
Joze Krev, a 55-year-old hotel owner from the northern Slovenian region of Koroska, said he thought the corruption allegations against Jansa were politically motivated and that he was protesting "to show my patriotism, back Jansa."
"I believe Jansa will resist. If not, the next elections will show," Krev said.
At the later anti-Jansa protest, demonstrators marched from Congress Square, blocking for over an hour traffic on Ljubljana's central Slovenska street, carrying banners that read "Thieves", "He's finished", "Jansa: the last dictator in Europe and the Balkans."
Protesters waved Slovenian flags but also flags from the former Yugoslavia and others with communist insignia, whistling loudly and shouting slogans.
A 33-year-old unemployed doctor of genetics Zala Prevolsek, holding a banner that urged "all the political elite to leave", said she joined the protest to call for the "resignation of all corrupt politicians."
Another protester, 60-year-old pensioner Marta, told AFP she had come "to protest against the government."
"Changes will come," she added.
The anti-government protest was the third called by a Facebook group created calling for Jansa's resignation. It now has over 18,000 followers.

A wife helplessly watched on her end of the computer as her husband suddenly fell over during a video chat.
Skype is a lifeline for so many deployed soldiers and their spouses, giving an illusion of "being there" despite the miles of separation. But as her husband, fine just seconds before, suddenly slumped over before her eyes but an ocean away, Susan Orellana-Clark could do nothing but watch in horror.
Capt. Bruce Kevin Clark's family released a statement describing what his wife saw in the video feed recording her husband's death.
"Clark was suddenly knocked forward," the statement said. "The closet behind him had a bullet hole in it. The other individuals, including a member of the military, who rushed to the home of CPT Clark's wife also saw the hole and agreed it was a bullet hole."
The statement says the Skype link remained open for two hours on April 30 as family and friends in the U.S. and Afghanistan tried to get Clark help.
"After two hours and many frantic phone calls by Mrs. Clark, two military personnel arrived in the room and appeared to check his pulse, but provided no details about his condition to his wife," the statement said.
But Army investigators say no bullet wound was found on Clark's body, and do not suspect foul play.
An autopsy is being conducted to determine cause of death.
Clark, 43, grew up in Michigan and previously lived in Spencerport, N.Y., a suburb of Rochester, his wife's hometown. He joined the Army in 2006 and was stationed in Hawaii before he was assigned to the William Beaumont Army Medical Center in El Paso. He deployed to Afghanistan in March.
Clarence Davis, spokesman for William Beaumont Army Medical Center, declined to comment on Clark's family's statement.
Clark's body was returned Thursday to Dover Air Force Base.
He is survived by his wife and two daughters, aged 3 and 9.

Looks great! Thanks for the mention ;)
The letter spacing could be increased, since on Firefox and on IE 6, the letters are crunched together.
Besides that - awesome :)
thank you:)
you know i have been looking over the css trying to find where i made a change that affected the letter spacing. I am seeing places in headers and titles lsiting letter spacing but no where in the body or content area. It was fine until i did "something" lol and i cant remember what that "something" was.
any ideas how to correct the spacing?
thank you:)
p, li, .feedback {
font: 90%/175% tahoma, 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Verdana, sans-serif;
letter-spacing: 0px;
The letter-spacing in the above was -1px which should be changed to 0px.
p, li, .feedback {
font: 90%/175% tahoma, 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Verdana, sans-serif;

letter-spacing here should fix that :)
thank you both:) i tired that at 0 and the -1 i changed it to 1px and for my eyes it seems to improve it in firebird. IE well it looks pretty crappy and alot of things dont work but just my personal opinion i dont care how it looks in IE. it is on the backburner of priorities to make it all work perfectly in IE *shrug*
thank you both for your help:)

Tiger and His Cubs
The Private Superstar Opens Up About the Joys and Challenges of Parenthood—and How He Misses His Own Father
These days home is an eight-bedroom, nine-bathroom house in Orlando, where Woods, 33, spends his downtime with wife Elin, 29, and his two children, Sam Alexis, 2, and Charlie Axel, 4 months. "Being a father is the most significant thing I've ever done," says the intensely private Woods, who rarely talks about his family. "People say I was born to play golf, but I think I was born to be a dad."
If he has one regret, it's that his own father isn't alive to see his children. When Earl Woods died of prostate cancer in 2006, Woods was devastated. "My dad was my best friend and greatest role model," Woods said at the time. Three years later, he often feels that his father is still with him. "I think of him every day. I hear his voice when I have decisions to make," says Woods. "Everything I do and everything I am is because of him."
Perhaps the older Woods' influence is more pronounced now that Tiger has two cubs of his own. "My dad passed away before Sam was born, so I didn't have a chance to talk to him about [parenting]," he says. "A lot of things he taught me about being a father is just through example. How important it is to be there for the child, no matter what. To love them unconditionally. To earn their respect, earn their trust. All those things he did for me. Hopefully, I'll be able to do that with my kids."
When knee surgery knocked him off the pro tour for eight months last year, golf fans lamented, but Woods found it was a blessing in disguise. During his rehab, he happily hung out with Sam, then 1, changing her diapers and teaching her English. (Mom Elin was in charge of teaching her Swedish.) "I would have missed a lot of development," he says. "I got a chance to be around her all the time, to watch her develop, to watch her learn two languages. She learned to walk and then how to run."
Another thing Woods didn't miss: the birth of Charlie Axel in February. He was a hands-on father, coaching Elin in the delivery room. "It's wonderful to have a son," he says. "We've got our little family with my wife and daughter and son. It's very gratifying." Now back on the grind of the tour, Woods makes it a point to carve out time for his family. "Tiger is a balanced workaholic" says a family friend. "If anyone can balance the demands of training, competing and raising a family, he can." And will there be more children? In true Tiger fashion, he gives little away. "My life is great," he answers with a sly smile. "I'm just enjoying the moment."

From Our Editors
Under a high ceiling strewn with glowing spherical lanterns, guests at Spoon warm their palates with tangy kimchi, spicy ramen, and plates of steaming bulgogi with barbecued beef or pork. These classic Korean dishes evenly distribute a savory aroma through the air of the two-level, lounge-like restaurant, and cobalt-blue lights focus attention on the stocked bar area on the ground floor. As friends get started with a round of drinks, they can share baskets of fried calamari or soft-shell crab or head up to the wrap-around balcony to admire other patrons' head tattoos.

Can, if you don't know, and it's likely you don't, was an early 70s experimental rock band from West Germany. Once upon a time, they had an album called Tago Mago that was supposedly influential.
A Can cover night?!? How do you even cover a Can song; much less have the time to learn a Can song? These songs, freak out improvs, typically clocked in between 8 and 20 minutes.
Fellow weirdoes! We are going down the rabbit hole if we are covering Can, and going to see Can cover nights.
Having said that: Burn on Osama bin Laden. That's why Capitol Hill and freak zones like it all over the USA are great. I hope someone does "Paperhouse" from Tago Mago.

One thing I cannot work out how to do is to display a grid of Categories.
Is this something that I need to customise something up.
ie, when I have subcategroies, I want to display a list of these for the user to be able to click through to get to more categories or the category product list.
Thanks in advance,

Found: at the Bed, Bath, and Beyond Clearance store – At last! After 2 1/2 years of marriage, we have full set of dishes! Originally $60, we got the whole box for $13, 'cause the serving bowl was broken. That's less than $0.25 a piece – better than thrift store prices! They look so good on my blue tile table. 🙂
Found: At the Salvation Army – the last piece of baby equipment to add to our collection -$22. We borrowed a bassinet for Jesse, but now we have our own for the baby. Yes, I know it's blue. It doesn't matter. If we have a girl, I will put a pink ribbon on it, OK?
Most Fun Find: a Ravensburger block puzzle – $2. I had one of these when I was little – a treasured gift from my Aunt Beverly. So, I couldn't resist getting this for my boy so he could have the same hours of fun.

Four Randall High School students were injured in a three-vehicle wreck around noon Friday near Amarillo High School, but none was seriously hurt.
The students were in a 1988 Jeep Cherokee northbound on Bell Street. They were on their way to lunch and then to a track meet when their vehicle collided with a 1990 Buick Regal occupied by Amarillo High students.
The Buick struck the Jeep near Sandie Drive, and the Jeep then hit a passing Ford pickup, said Amarillo police officer Ed Carroll.
The front passenger in the Jeep, Ashley Mosley, 16, was thrown into the windshield, said Amarillo Fire Department Capt. Louie Black. Mosley; the driver of the Jeep, Shelby Hudgins, 18, and two passengers, Stephanie Ranteria and Sheridan Snell, both 16, were taken to Northwest Texas Hospital, where they were treated and later released, a hospital spokesman said.
None of the AHS students was seriously injured, Black said. The driver of the Ford was uninjured, he said.

Mariah Carey and James Packer have been engaged since 20th Jan 2016. [view couple]
Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1969 or 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress. She rose to prominence after releasing her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multiplatinum and spawned four consecu...tive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive and later husband Tommy Mottola, Carey continued booking success with follow-up albums Emotions (1991), Music Box (1993), and Merry Christmas (1994), and was established as Columbia's highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single "One Sweet Day", a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and it remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history. During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her slower R&B and ballad-oriented beginnings and slowly transitioned into hip hop. This musical change became further established with the release of Butterfly (1997), which was released during the midst of her separation from Mottola.
Connect any celebrity with Mariah Carey to see how closely they are linked... romantically!
Mariah is one of the geatest singers. She can touch your heart. I love to watch her perform
Mariah u need to just slow down and stay single a while because u done been with to many dudes and bout why u and nick cannon divorced that's childish why yall goin split up because he slept with Kim in his past that was before u so yall need yo grow up
She is dating Brett Radner night now!
I love Mariah's voice and music. She has an amazing talent.
I always thought that Mariah Carey didn't have a middle name.
I love you so much I love all your songs
If she did go out with Eminem, it definitely was not for 5 years. 2001 to 2006?
Yeah she is amazing..queen of pop
She did not go out with Eminem that should be a rumor
What a stunning young lady !! Such an inspiration .

Climate change; global warming; superstorms; extended droughts; the hottest year ever; December tornadoes; on and on it goes. Changes are happening everywhere. Below-zero temps four times before Christmas 2013. Now, a chill factor of 35 below—and 48 hours later, temps in the mid-30s and rain is expected. With all the usual craziness, we do benefit from modern forecasters using the most advanced technology to predict the weather, helping us to avoid any big surprises, or to at least prepare.
The same was true of weathermen seventy-five years ago: they did their best to predict what the weather would bring―days, weeks, and even months in advance. But they weren't alone in doing so. Competing against them were country prognosticators who sometimes did better than the latest technology. Continue reading

US MARSHAL Update
Dear Friends,
I got an e-mail from a lady from headquarters and things are looking really good. I will be heading to the academy in June.
Almost there, I am still waiting for a final update from Ranger Richard and how the graduation is down there.
Is anyone going through the process under Operation Shining Star IV? If you have any questions, there are good people on this board that will be happy to answer any questions that you may have.
Quick question for all of you. I know it's in the early stages at this point. I hard that the U.S. Marshal Services requested 8 "082" class for the next fiscal year and also 4 "CITP" classes. I don't want to look too deep into it, but can anyone here speculate on what it means and if the Marshals will get the money for it?
Jasper W.
05-06-2002, 16:13 #2Jeff Gibboni Guest
Haven't spoken to you in awhile, I think your PM box is full. I called HQ today to find out the result of the Review Board. She hasn't got back to me yet. Maybe I'll send an e-mail. I guess you got the nod. Congratulations. Hope I'll be right there with you in June.
When you get a chance, shoot me an e-mail. I've been talking to Richard and he is well on his way in the Service.

CI School
The rumor is that the 4 CI classes have been funded for next FY. These classes are to be filled by 082s only. The selection process is unknown but is speculated to go by either seniority (time in service) or by original 1811 conditional offers of employment. The last part means those 082s who were originally on the 1811 hire list from the old DUSM/TEA test, or participants in Shining Star I and II. These are the people who were originally offered conditional employment letters as 1811s but took 082 positions.
What this means for the Service is unknown. We have lost approx. 120 operational employees since Jan 02 and will continue to lose an expected total rumored between 300 - 800. Most people who have left have gone to the other Marshals Service, usually to a significant increase in salary. Not just 082s or DEOs but senior and supervisory 1811s as well. Basically, your guess is as good as mine when it comes to the future of America's Star.

The other Marshals Service
Yes, it means the Federal Air Marshal Program. If you look at the SAC and ASAC TSA job announcements, they say Federal Air Marshals Service.

Dear Friends,
I am not familiar with the operational/organizational structure of the US Marshal Service but losing 300-800 people like the gentleman stated in the previous post, seems quite a bit to me.
As for the CITP, I am glad the Marshal Service is heading into that particular direction. It sends a clear signal to the potential applicant in that the service has a potential for personal growth.
Like I told Jeff and Ranger, I frankly don't mind doing court duties or other jobs because I can handle the monotonous and tedious jobs. Jeff and myself have done it in the military and it will be no difference. We will just keep a positive attitude and do the best job that we can.
I want to offer a hand of applause to our board collegue and friend Ranger Richard who just graduated from the US Marshal academy in FLETC, GA.

05-07-2002, 23:42 #10Ranger Richard Guest
Just recently got back online after move- still getting sitauted but I am having a blast and the variety of duties are great. I got lucky in getting to NM and many of my friends are stuck doing only court or cell block. Getting a great legal education by sitting in court rooms too! Congrats on June I know it will be great to here you and Jeff's progress. Wouldnt change this job for anything at this point!!! Take care!
05-08-2002, 00:50 #11jspsher Guest
Dear Richard,
Tell us about your duties, your supervisor, and basically your first week at your duty station. Details, details. Hey bro, can you e-mail me your # to me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Jasper W.
05-08-2002, 06:29 #12
That is one thing alot of people don't realize. Sitting in court can be boring as hell, but you learn more about the legal system and what not do as a LEO, better than most people.
It is an untouchable learning experience.
05-08-2002, 06:30 #13SWMARSHL1 Guest
to ranger and all future 082 deputies:
just some quick words of wisdom
make your own opinion on the job. keep a positive attitude. There is a lot of senior deputies out there who will try to bring you down by trashing there office and how terrible the service is. hang around the deputies who you think you could learn from.
I graduated last October from the Academy and am now in the southwest border. (lots of court!) but I have been able to go on the street and work on some warrants. Offer your assistance to the "warrant guys". Alot of them want to hit a house at 6:00am and cant find an 1811 who will be up that early. Thats more O/T for you!
good luck fellas and jspsher:
"front lean and rest"!! you'll know what that means at the academy.
good luck everyone.
05-08-2002, 14:51 #14jspsher Guest
Moto, Moto, got alot of motivation!!!!!!! Jeff, we are gonna gonna have a blast together down in GA. Ranger had a raddy time and he is having a blast in NM.
I have to thank everyone that offered us support, advice, and suggestions. You guys and gals were wonderful!!!!

Dear Jeff,
I got an e-mail from a lady at Marshal's HQ stating that the board results are in. She offered me a position in the southern district of California, specifically San Diego, I am going to take it. Beggers can't be choosers you know.
I am so thrilled. She said the letter will come near the end of the month.

Big Ten Football: Tom Dienhart's hard takes heading into Week 6

The first full slate of Big Ten games looms with all 14 teams in action vs. one another in seven contests. Top billing: Northwestern at Michigan on BTN/BTN2Go. Can NU remain perfect as it treks to play the white-hot Wolverines? Also, Illinois can show it's legit by winning at unbeaten Iowa. And Wisconsin visits Nebraska with both teams desperate for success.

FO - Watch Cap
After seeing all the lovely cardigans, jumpers and bags on here I almost didn't post this but we all have to start somewhere right? The back story to this is interesting too so bear with me!
Last September I was up North in Michigan and called in to a little farm shop that advertised wool, mainly Alpaca. The farm was a horse farm, but the "wool" lady was the mother of the owner and when she retired she moved up to the farm to help with the place and her two grandsons. A little bored she acquired three Alpacas and started to learn spinning (she (Betty) was already an accomplished knitter), and opened up her little store in the old dairy. Quite by chance she was offered six Icelandic Sheep. Northern Michigan has a lot of farms, mainly fruit and vegetables but the economy locally has been hit hard for a couple of years. Last Spring was unseasonably warm (80F in March), followed by a severe cold snap, followed by a summer drought, anything that survived the cold snap (fruit blossom) succumbed to the drought. A lot of farmers lost their land because of this and this is how Betty ended up getting the Icelandic for free as they needed someone to take care of them. Because of the previous owner's hardship he had not kept up their vet care, all six were in lamb but they were all in a pretty bad way. Betty saved the sheep (a lot of vet bills!) but only three lambs were born live. So she now has a little herd of three Alpacas and nine Icelandic sheep. We were there well over an hour chatting, and I met the sheep, the alpacas were too shy, but I met Celia (Icelandic) who provided some of the wool I bought.
So, the hat..... 50% black Alpaca, 50% Icelandic Sheep, shorn and cleaned at source and carded and hand spun by Betty herself. It was a little rough to work with in places, it would occasionally go from thick to thin but I got on with it OK overall. It was very hard to finish due to the variation of the stitches and the yarn when I was trying to decrease, plus there was no real give in the wool. I ended up with very painful hands and a couple of cramped fingers! Plus I was glad I had used metal dpns, I know I would have broken my bamboo ones on those last few decreases, no doubt about it.
I added the red stripes as I knew I wasn't going to have quite enough of the main wool, as it turned out I could have made the thick stripe a bit thinner, but I didn't know that at the time. That wool was also from Betty, she'd been practicing dying techniques on Rowan 100% wool and then sold the large skeins of them for $10 just to get them out of her way!! The pattern was a simple K1, P1 rib and was in a book by Judith Durant.
And hubby must have liked it as he was wearing it this morning.... in the house... with his pj's on.... at 6:30am!! I left for work then and left him to it!!
The flash has bleached out the colour a bit, I'll try and get a better picture to add.
Great hat and great story to go with it. :thumbsup: I like the rustic look of the hand spun wool. Thanks for sharing the photo of your very well done hat and the story that goes with it. I needed a good heart-warming post and you gave it to me. :muah:
That's a beautiful hat and I also like the rustic look! Great back story!!
Great hat! So glad you had enough wool to finish it. It would have been difficult to match to another batch, I imagine.
Thanks for sharing the story behind it; how very sad that many people are losing their land because of the drought. I guess that's one good thing here in Texas--we're kinda used to droughts (at least more so than some who get rain much more frequently).
It looks fabulous! You did a great job on it. Hats can be a real pain sometimes to fit the wearer and you were dead on. Enjoy what you knit and don't worry about what others post. We love to see everyone's projects, or at least I do! :)
The majority of what I make goes to charity. DH took them to the college ceramics dept. where he takes classes and volunteers. Many kids just took one, but a bunch paid for some. I ended up getting about $75 last year!
As for size... Hats are stretchy and fit almost every one. The vast majority are worsted weight so I just cast on 80 with US 7 needles and work about the length of my hand (6.5") depending on the pattern. Then I decrease. With my natural gauge this works fine.
I'll be posting FO's of them all soon.
Beautiful hat and a great use of this lovely yarn. You did very well by Betty who might like to see the end product of her alpacas, sheep and hand spinning. Thanks for the story to go with. Well done!
I agree! Beautiful hat and the fact it was all produced right there on the farm makes for a great story with a happy ending. I really like the yarn alot. I will try a hat someday. I've only finished 2 things so far as I'm new to knitting but practice, practice, practice!
I love the hat! Everything about it! Great story along with it, too!

Hi I am sorry because I know this has to have been asked before and I really did look through the posts.
What I want to do is get rid of my blog title and the just another wordpress site. And then nudge the header up a little to get rid of all of the white space.
I have read enough to know I do not want to just delete them because that will mess up SEO? I guess there is a code I need to input to just move the words off of the page and then something I need to delete in the header to get rid of the white space? Can someone help me please?
I'd be ever so grateful.

As a consultant i am currently working on a project using WordPress.
My customer would like an archive on a yearly basis, giving a category list that can be selected to view all items that year in that selected category.
How can I create such an archive?
Can it be done that a "year" is defined e.g. September 2007-august 2008?
Any ideas are more then welcome...
Kind regards,

|Sun, 04 Nov 2012 02:26:48 GMT
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=118486 --- Comment #3 from Richard <firstname.lastname@example.com> --- In addition to above, I have run some more tests to attempt to replicate this bug: 1. Ran battery down to low, saved, and reopened file (pass) 2. Ran batter down to critical, saved, and reopened file (pass) 3. Created file in Impress, saved as .ppt, used in above tests (1,2) (pass) 4. Create file in Impress 3.3, opened in 3.3 (pass) 5. Create file in Impress 3.3, then opened in 3.4 (using .ppt) (pass) 6. Create file in Impress 3.3, remove Writer, open Impress file (pass) These additional tests should help to narrow down the cause of this bug. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
