That NOAA picture is imsive, but I don't think it shows the typical cumulus formation so I uploaded one of my own. No offense meant. Koyaanis Qatsi, Friday, July 19, 2002
Always makes me laugh at this site when templates take more room than the article. 18.104.22.168 10:20, 3 April 2007 (UTC) Bad image that I made, if someone has a better one please delete this.Dreg743 08:35, 4 April 2007 (UTC) Abbreviations in the article. the same.
Has anyone a reference for the assertion that cumulus clouds 'produce wind' I found this fascinating, but I think we ought to find a credible link for it Kellyna 01:45, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
- No reference, but that sounds natural as in the shadow of a cloud it is usually cooler during the daylight and this produces a pressure difference. 188.8.131.52 08:37, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Really unclear[edit]
I have to admit that this article needs a lot of fixing-up. Need to define a lot of concepts (they produce wind??), better sentence formatting, etc. --Gabycs 21:15, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
hey who wrote this its great —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 01:48, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- Excuse me? You might need a lesson in WP:OWN :D. Anyways, even though I only have a basic understanding of the subject, I'm working on the refs. IceUnshattered (talk) 00:49, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
It doesn't say how the clouds are formed as well. I searched it up and this didn't even tell me how they are formed. How am I supposed to pass this project if it doesn't tell me? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 12:03, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
Removal of copy-edit tag[edit]
This page seems to no longer need copy-editing. Any comments? If nobody disagrees, I'll remove the copy-edit tag in a week.
GFett (talk) 09:04, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
- Go ahead. There's still a lot to be improved, but I think there's no problem with rm'ing the tag. IceUnshattered [ t ] 16:49, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
I substituted the infobox to allow for multiple classifications (low-level or vertical, depending on size). See also talk:cloud. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 00:51, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not totally sure what you did, but thanks for taking care of that anyways :) IceUnshattered [ t ] 18:23, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
photo credit[edit]
I noticed that the amount of photo in cumulus mediocris was excessive in proportion to the text of that article, so I moved one photo to this article, where it would fit better, instead. The photo caption was written by User:Photofm and it appears that he is also the photographer as well. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 07:07, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
- Hmmm...you started the gallery, right? Are you sure it's totally necessary? I like the congestus pic, but I'm not sure the mediocris is totally needed to illustrate the subject. IceUnshattered [ t ] 21:06, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
- Not strictly necessary, no, but I think that the pictures make the article look nice, and besides, better here than there. And now that I have decided to collapse the gallery into the "forecast" section, the left side shows clouds that are associated with fair weather, and the right side shows clouds that may develop into showers or thunderstorms. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 22:51, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
"Cumulus clouds typically form when warm air rises and reaches a level of comparatively cool air,"
I won't get into an edit war, but as written, this implies that it needs a layer 'of comparatively cool air' to form. What actually happens is that a parcel of air, rising through convection WILL form a cumulus cloud, unless the ascent is stopped by reaching equlibruim with the surrounding air. i.e. where the rise of the air is prevented by meeting a layer of air that is warmer than the DALR. (inversion or stable layer) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jgb2 (talk • contribs) 05:52, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
Removal of citation tag[edit]
I think I have cited all the relevant parts. Unless there is disagreement, I will remove the tag in 7 days —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jgb2 (talk • contribs) 05:53, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
- It's been more than a week by my count. I'll rm it. Also, please sign your posts by typing four tildes (~~~~). Thanks, IceUnshattered [ t ] 22:07, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Vague wording[edit]
- Over the sea, cumulus clouds may be found in regularly spaced lines or patterns. The best examples of these lines are found in the trade winds, where they may extend for many miles.
The many miles wording is quite vague. Although there is nothing specific in the MOS about this, the usage of a unit of measure without a specific quantity appears to be incorrect usage. It can be improved by rewording it in one of the following ways:
- If some representative distances can be found in primary references, use and cite those. (Recommended per MOS.)
- Substitute wording that does not use units of measurement, such as "great distances".
proposals to merge[edit]
- I suggest merging "Turkey tower" into this article, because Wikipedia is not a dictionary of slang.
- I also suggest merging the three articles on towering cumulus clouds; I shall start a discussion here.

Formation section[edit]
RE kindly asked me to look, admittedly at the climate section, but I think the formation section needs work too. I think that stuff like meaning that the enthalpy flow through the system boundary is very low is too technical - well, it is for me - and needs to be pushed down. OTOH, the second-phase wet-adiabatic bit fails to emphasise the positive feedback element of formation. I think the Langmuir stuff needs rework too. However this may reflect my perspective on these, which is to try to fit them into the global climate system William M. Connolley (talk) 22:02, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks! I'll try to rewrite this in a slightly less technical manner, possibly by removing the explanation of "adiabatic", since anybody who wants to understand that could follow the wikilink. Reaper Eternal (talk) 20:11, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
Continuing at my snail's pace, I think:
- Rain forms in a cumulus cloud via a process involving two non-discrete stages. The first stage occurs after the droplets coalesce onto the various nuclei. Langmuir writes that surface tension in the water droplets provides a slightly higher pressure on the droplet, raising the vapor pressure by a small amount. The increased pressure results in those droplets evaporating and the resulting water vapor condensing on the larger droplets. Due to the extremely small size of the evaporating water droplets, this process becomes largely meaningless after the larger droplets have grown to around 20 to 30 micrometers, and the second stage takes over.[6] In the accretion phase, the raindrop begins to fall, and other droplets collide and combine with it to increase the size of the raindrop. Langmuir was able to develop a formula[note 1] which predicted that the droplet radius would grow unboundedly within a discrete time period.[7]
should be moved to its own article. This stuff is common to all clouds, I think, not just cumulus. Perhaps Cloud physics? (I'd have called it cloud microphysics) William M. Connolley (talk) 18:30, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
- Well, it isn't common to cirrus or cirrostratus clouds, and possibly others. I'd support keeping it in the article anyway as a short summary of how cumulus clouds are formed, because otherwise readers would constantly be flipping between pages to learn about the various aspects of cumulus clouds. Reaper Eternal (talk) 16:08, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
The Langmuir part in the initial section is way too technical for an intro section. Jgb2 (talk) 09:57, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
GA Review[edit]
|GA toolbox
- This review is transcluded from Talk:Cumulus cloud/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.
Reviewer: Dana boomer (talk · contribs) 19:26, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi! I'll be reviewing this article for GA status, and should have my full review up shortly. Dana boomer (talk) 19:26, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
The lead needs to be expanded. For an article of this length, two to three paragraphs is appropriate, per WP:LEAD.
- Done. Reaper Eternal (talk) 22:24, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
The University of Richmond external link is dead.
- Removed. Reaper Eternal (talk) 20:24, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
Not required for GA status, but what makes it necessary for Towering cumulus cloud to have its own article?
- I'm not certain why it had that title, but I've moved it to Cumulus congestus cloud to go along with all the other cumulus cloud species which have articles. Reaper Eternal (talk) 23:20, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
Description, skew is a dab link.
- I've disambiguated it. Reaper Eternal (talk) 20:24, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
Subforms - Is there any information on the relative frequency with which these various forms are seen? Compared to each other or to other cloud formations?
- I've never seen any research or discussion on the relative frequencies of the subforms of any cloud species. Reaper Eternal (talk) 20:24, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
Relation to other clouds - I'm a little confused as to why its necessary to summarize all of these other cloud types (everything after the introductory paragraph of this section). Isn't it enough to mention them, and only expand into details if the information is specifically relevant to the topic of the article, in this case cumulus clouds? When writing, say, a plant article, we do not give every other species within the genus its own section - we simply mention other important ones and only expand on the topic if there is an important comparison to be made that gives the reader additional information specifically on the plant species the article is supposed to be discussing.
- Only ten cloud genera exist: Cumulus, stratocumulus, stratus, cirrostratus, cirrus, cirrocumulus, altocumulus, altostratus, nimbostratus, and cumulonimbus. These are grouped into three families, cirriform, cumuliform, and stratiform. Information on the other cloud genera in the parent family of the cloud genus being described was requested in the cirrus cloud FAC. To keep the article structures similar, I am also including it here. Furthermore, every cloud genus is important for weather and climatic analyses. Reaper Eternal (talk) 20:49, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
- Fair enough. I still personally think it's unnecessary, but if it's what was asked for at FAC, then it's best to keep the articles consistent. Dana boomer (talk) 16:03, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
- a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- The bibliography appears to be alphabetical except for the first entry. Is there a reason for this discrepancy?
- I used to not know the author of the book (it isn't on the cover of my copy), so I had originally alphabetized it by its title. I've fixed that now. Reaper Eternal (talk) 21:15, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
- You should probably also change ref #38 (Audubon 2000, p. 448), so that it points to the author name? Dana boomer (talk) 16:03, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
- Agreed and done. Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:52, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
Not required for GA status, but it would be nice if the name format was standardized in the bibliography (some entries are currently last, first, while others are first last).
- I think this is fixed now. Reaper Eternal (talk) 21:21, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
- Ref #2, 11 needs a publisher
- I've added metadata for #2. #11 seems to have died, so I'm replacing it.... Reaper Eternal (talk) 21:15, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
- This looks like it's still in the article? Dana boomer (talk) 16:03, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
- I've found a replacement now. Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:52, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
Ref #5 - what is AAAS? Please spell out acronyms.
- I've fixed the reference into the bibliographic format used for all the other references. AAAS has been removed. Reaper Eternal (talk) 21:15, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
- What makes Ref #10 (Cloud streets) a reliable source?
- It is written by pilots (albeit likely amateurs), so, for the purpose of citing information related to wind patterns and aviation, it appears to be reliable. Reaper Eternal (talk) 22:12, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not convinced. The "about us" page talks about "aviation enthusiasts" which could be a 12 year old kid sitting in his bedroom. I don't see anything about author attribution, fact checking, expert authors, etc... Dana boomer (talk) 16:03, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
- Ah, I see now. I've replaced it with citations to reliable sources, mainly Weston. Reaper Eternal (talk) 02:38, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
- What makes Ref #19, 43 (Cloud atlas) a reliable source?
- It isn't—it's a user-generated website, and it is factually inaccurate. I replaced the references to it with reliable sources. Reaper Eternal (talk) 21:15, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
- I still see one reference to this. Now Ref #22. Dana boomer (talk) 16:03, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
- I've nailed that one too now. Reaper Eternal (talk) 03:45, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
- a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
See comments on final section included in prose review, above.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- It follows the neutral point of view policy.
- Fair representation without bias:
- It is stable.
- No edit wars, etc.:
- It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
- a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
- Overall:
- Pass/Fail:
- Overall a nice article, but a few issues related to prose, referencing and focus. Dana boomer (talk) 20:28, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
- Pass/Fail:
- Thanks for the review! Due to real life time constraints (college), I'll probably only have time to clean these issues up over the weekend. Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:58, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
- The work so far looks good. I still have a few minor concerns related to sources - see my replies above. Dana boomer (talk) 16:03, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
- OK, everything looks good to me, so I'm passing the article to GA status. Very nice work - thanks for sticking with it! Dana boomer (talk) 14:29, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Virginia state governor Terry McAuliffe has resurrected a proposal to use secret batches of specially mixed medicines in executions by lethal injection, raising concerns over a lack of transparency.
The US State of Georgia last night executed 72 year old Brandon Astor Jones, the oldest person on death row in the State. Mr Jones had served 36 years in prison.
A major NHS supplier is at risk of becoming involved in American executions, after Alabama altered its lethal injection 'cocktail'.
The state of Arizona yesterday took almost two hours to kill a prisoner using the same combination of drugs used in a botched execution in Ohio earlier this year.
An execution carried out yesterday by Ohio, using a new, untested combination of drugs, shows strong signs of having caused prolonged suffering to the prisoner.
Prisons in the US are holding large stockpiles of life-saving medicines, which they plan to use in executions, while hospitals face shortages of the same drugs.
Pharmacies in the US are demanding that executioners in Texas do not use their drugs to carry out lethal injections.
A pharmaceutical company which has taken steps to prevent its product from being used in executions is to receive an award recognising ethical leadership.
A UK pharmaceutical firm has announced that it is "putting in place concrete steps" to stop the use of its drugs in executions.
One of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies has taken steps to ensure its drugs cannot be used to carry out executions by lethal injection.

Transmission Mechanisms for Monetary Policy in Emerging Market Economies
Bank for International Settlements
Bank for International Settlements (BIS)
BIS Paper No. 35
This volume, which is a follow-up to BIS Policy Paper No. 3 (January 1998), analyses the major changes in monetary policy transmission in the emerging market economies (EMEs) over the past decade and highlights a number of implications. It is based on two days of discussions among senior central bankers at a meeting at the BIS in December 2006.
Fiscal dominance has been largely overcome and monetary policy frameworks are now more credible. The overview paper finds that central banks have become more flexible in their operations. The interest rate channels of monetary policy have become much stronger, and the relative importance of some of the traditional channels such as the credit channel has declined, at least in normal times. Better monetary policies have resulted in lower and less volatile inflation in most EMEs. An analysis of the transmission of monetary policy to long-term interest rates notes that the impact of the policy rates on long-term rates has been moderated by more stable inflation expectations, which has allowed central banks to be less aggressive in adjusting policies. External factors appear to be exerting an increasing influence on domestic long-term rates. A related analysis finds that greater globalisation has resulted in domestic short-term rates being significantly affected by foreign interest rates, particularly in countries with high capital mobility and with managed exchange rates. Finally, the pass-through from exchange rate changes to domestic inflation has fallen since 2001, while the sensitivity of inflation to foreign price changes has increased.

Herald-Zeitung quotable '"Inherent differences' between men and women, we have come to appreciate, remain cause for celebration, but not for denigration of the members of either sex or for artificial constraints on an indhkhmrs opportunity." Ruth Bader Ginsburg Supreme Court Justice EDITORIALPetition energy best spent elsewhere A petition that supports the posting of the Ten Commandments in all courts of law within Comal County and calls for each court proceeding to begin with prayer is being circulated in the area. While a noble cause, it would seem that the energy being expended would be better served elsewhere. The issue is not one of separation of church and state. It is one of common sense. Just as prayer will never be eliminated from schools as long as tests continue to be given, God will never be too far from the courtroom as long as there is crime and punishment. While the government should not advance any form of religion, neither should it be compelled to promote the issue. The Founding Father's belief in a higher being is w$U documented. The currency we carry in our pockets each day is a reminder that our trust is in Him. We invoke His name each time we recite the Pledge of Allegiance. And, when in court, we swear, with His help, to tell the truth. Belief in God is as much a part of the American spirit as the Fourth of July and baseball. But it would seem that there are more pressing issues that need our time, talents and attention. (Todays editorial was written by Herald-Zeitung Managing Editor Micah Boyd.)

But I don't believe Congress should have to throw money on the table because it is fcreed to meet a budget deadline — or be faced with shutting down the goverrjnent Shutting down the go vanmen! shouldn't be an option. And a government shut down, when all is said and done, doesn't solve anything because Congress cannot in good conscience refuse to pay government employees (who, by law, are forbid den to work as volunteers without pay even if they so desire). Prudent budget decisions have to be made without a threat hanging over the heads of Congress. And the American people have a right to expect that their government will continue to operate in a safe, orderly and reliable fashion regardless of political differences. I am sponsoring a bill to prevent a government shutdown in the fall of Kay Bailey Hutchison 1997 if the appropriations process collapses as it did in the fall of 1995. It is not that I expect another crisis to occur. But my legislation offers the American people insurance — and assurance — the past won't be repeated. The 1995 episode had an enormous impact on people's lives. More than 600,000 government employees were furloughed, including thousands of Texans. People going on long-awaited vacations couldn't enter parks and museum. Veterans worried if their benefits would arrive on time. My bill establishes an automatic "safety-net" funding mechanism for fiscal year 1998 that will be triggered only if regular appropriations bills are not signed into law by the president. It would authorize continued funding of all government functions at 98 percent of fiscal year 1997 levels while Congress and the executive branch continue to negotiate. This will keep the government functioning while we work toward completion of the appropriations process. Attempting to create a balanced budget is one of the toughest tasks government faces whether on the local, state or federal level. While legitimate debate is critical to the democratic process, we should have a safeguard in place to protect the American people from indecision. The bill I have introduced offers just such a fail-safe mechanism. (Kay Bailey Hutchison is a U.S. senator representing Texas.)

The problem is not lack of choices — rather it is how to make sense out of all the choices available to us. The first choice is whether the "new" car should be new, used or leased. As a consumer service, we at the Office of the Attorney General have put together these common-sense tips to help you determine which choice best fits your individual circumstances best. lf you plan to keep a car for a long time, you might consider buying a new car. For the first several years it will be under warranty, and, once the car is paid for, the cost of running it should be fairly low (assuming no major mechanical problems occur). While the payments may be higher than for a leased or used vehicle, in the long run buying a new car may still be the most economical way to go. The biggest advantage to buying a used car is the initial price. Because you don't have to pay for the sharp drop in value that occurs the moment a new car is driven off the lot, the price can be very cheap. But that isn't theToday in History Dan Morales The Associated Press Today is Tuesday, May 27, the 147th day of 1997. There are 218 days left in the year.Todays Highlight in History: Sixty years ago, on May 27,1937, the newly completed Golden Gate Bridge connecting San Francisco and Marin County, Calif., was opened to the public.On this date: In 1647, the first recorded American execution of a "witch" took place in Massachusetts. In 1896, 255 people were killed when a tornado struck St. Louis, Mo., and East St. Louis, 111. In 1933, Walt Disney's Academy Award-winning animated short "The T hree Little Pigs" was released.In 1935, the Supreme Court whole story. There are disadvantages to buying a used vehicle. For example, you may not get the latest safety and convenience features (depending on the age of the vehicle); you may not know its complete maintenance and repair history; and you may not know the driving habits of the previous owners. Leasing has caught on largely because of rising new car prices. Last year, leasing accounted for more than 30 percent of all the new cars rolling off dealer lots. Late model used and program cars also are being leased, in part because of the large number of leased new cars being returned to dealers after the usual three-year lease period. Personal driving habits are the best guide to whether you should lease a vehicle. Leasing is appropriate for peo- struck down the National Industrial Recovery Act. In 1936, the Cunard liner Queen Mary left England on its maiden voyage. In 1941, amid rising world tensions, President Roosevelt proclaimed an "unlimited national emergency." In 1941, the German battleship Bismarck sank off France, with a loss of 2,300 lives. In 1964, independent India's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, died. In 1977, New York City fined "human fly" Geoige H. Willig $1.10 — one penny for each of the I IO stones of the World Trade Center he scaled the day before. In 1985, in a bnef ceremony in Beijing, representatives of Britain and China exchanged instruments of pie who expect to trade in every few years, who don't have much money for a down payment, who don't put high mileage on their cars, or who need a car that always looks showroom ready. The advantage of leasing is having low payments compared to a car purchase. The disadvantage is that you do not own anything of value when the lease expires. Leasing generally requires a good credit record. Once you have decided which kind of car you want, it's time to get the best value for the vehicle currently in your possession. A good starting place is to do research to find out what your car or truck is currently worth. Consult the "Kelley Blue Book" and "NERD Used Car Guide" to get a rough value on your trade-in. Consider the condition of your old vehicle when setting what you consider a fair offer. Negotiate the value of your trade-in vehicle just as you will the cost of the new vehicle, and shop around for the best trade-in offer. Wash the car and clean the intenor before showing it to the dealer. Or you may choose to sell your old ratification on the pact returning Hong Kong to the Chinese in 1997. Ten years ago: The Rev. Jerry Falwell, responding to comments by Jim Bakker, denied hoodwinking Bakker into giving up control of the PTL ministry. Five years ago: The 12-nation European Community imposed trade sanctions on Serbia to stop its interference in Bosnia-Herzegovina. One year ago: Russian President Boris Yeltsin negotiated a ceasefire to the war ut Chechnya in his first meeting with the rebels' leader. Today's Birthdays: Novelist Herman Wouk is 82.

This review is from: AMD FX-4350 Vishera Quad-Core 4.2 GHz Socket AM3+ 125W FD4350FRHKBOX Desktop Processor
Pros: Its exactly what you expect from a company like AMD. Its just perfect and as advertised. Nice beefy fan with heat pipes.
Cons: My computer case does not have a spot for the sticker, free handed putting it on and its crooked.
Other Thoughts: Installed at the same time with a new video card. Computer was beeping and slow booting. After several hours playing with drivers, CMOS errors and blue screens. I removed the new video card then everything started working as intended. This processor replaced an Athlon II 3gig. I got a big boost in my frames, even with out the new video card. Sadly had to RMA the new video card but thanks to that, I got to see how much difference just the processor alone made. I really dont know why anyone buys Intel with better AMDs out there. Thank you AMD, please keep up the good fight.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Ballistix Tactical 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Gaming Memory Model BLT2KIT8G3D1869DT1TX0
Pros: Looks good, feels good, pretty fast..
Cons: Not red
Other Thoughts: Went in no problems at all. Notice a pretty big improvement over my old ram. Be sure to set your timings. My PC used different ones by default.
Just updated my processor and got to run the ram at 1866 now. Its actually 1875, a little extra hidden speed, which is always nice. Get so used to getting less than advertised from companies.
This review is from: Rosewill RFA-120-K - 120mm Computer Case Cooling Fan with LP4 Adapter - Sleeve Bearing, Silent
Pros: Spins
Cons: Not loud enough
Other Thoughts: Wanted something a little louder. Everyone pushes this silent garbage constantly. I like to hear my computer greet me when I walk in in the room.READ FULL REVIEW

request CVS account. I don't have voucher and I haven't sent the CVS
Contributor form yet.

Steps to Reproduce:
I have posted filled contributor form in 30 or 31 April. Would you confirm when
it gets received?
In addition to already posted contributor form, tomorrow I'll fax another filled
contributor form.

Is there anything more I should do for getting CVS account and continuing the

> 3. Initial translation of browser/ and toolkit/ (and some little of dom/) is

Are you targeting Firefox 1.0.x or 1.1.x line?
My translation is for Mozilla Firefox 1.1.
But if it's possible to add new language in 1.0.x, I would like to do that -- my
translation is based on another one (made by another guy) that is for 1.0:
Is there any Bulgarian l10n team? We'd like to avoid any conflicts.
About 1.0.x - you'd have to prepare another dir structure for 1.0.x. For 1.1.x
I'll review it once you're ready.
Milen Ivanov <firstname.lastname@example.com> who did FF 1.0 l10n in November 2004 seems to give
up on becoming l10n owner. His translation is in
Peter Velikov <email@example.com> did translations of Mozilla
Firefox and Mozilla Suite. Mozilla Suite l10ns can be found in
http://bgmozilla.sourceforge.net/ . Mozilla Firefox l10n is in
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/bgmozilla/ (it's old).
I am not aware of any other recent efforts in Bulgarian l10n of Mozilla. Before
submitting this CVS account request, I have mailed both of them with my
intention to become Bulgarian l10n owner but there was no response. (This
surprised me.)
There is only one general Bulgarian mailing list for l10n of programs:
http://fsa-bg.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dict (It was called recently moved
from email@example.com) The translation(s) will be reviewed by them.
BTW I just found that pootle prop2po sometimes (always?) replaces : with \: and
there may be other defects. I'll investigate what's exactly happening.
Ok. I can vouch for your account once I'll review your full translation.
Could you translate that bulgarian comment in bug 271341 as a comment in that
bug? It'd ease things on our side if we could at least claim to have read all
comments over there.
Translation of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271341#c2 :
> Milen, I don't have time and I have stopped to work on Mozilla l10n since a
long time. There are some enthusiasts in http://bgmozilla.sourceforge.net/ [1].
Unite with them and try again.
> To announce your project as l10n, read
> Contact the group[2] and register as translator. The people there will
explain you what, why and how.
[1] Peter Velikov has done the translation there.
[2] Probably he means bgmozilla.sf.net?
Translation of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=292092#c1 :
> Don't report bugs but go and register in the newsgroup[1] of the translators
and make the translation.
> I have stopped to work on that since a long time because of lack of time and
the bad result.
[1] probably firstname.lastname@example.com
I'll add Cc: to the 2 mentioned above people and the team leader of Translation
team for Bulgarian <http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/registry.cgi?team=bg>.
> I am not aware of any other recent efforts in Bulgarian l10n of Mozilla.
I found another CVS reguest bug for Bulgarian guy - bug 284984 - who is
interested in starting Firefox Bulgarian localization.
Yes, I know this bug but there's difference between interest and effort. I will
be ready this week with complete translation ready for review.
Since Mozilla is careful to avoid duplicated work and two heads for one thing,
I'll contact Dido Chanev in his l10n request bug.
There are some things that have happened behind the scene :-)
Milen Ivanov <firstname.lastname@example.com>, who did translation of Firefox 1.0 that I use as
base for 1.1, contacted me and we decided that I'll become l10n owner and he'll
be peer. We'll use newly created project
<https://openfmi.net/projects/mozilla-bg/> where I have just committed complete
translation (w/o the help) of Firefox 1.1
(the "mozilla-1.1/trunk" part may change in future). I would like to review it
myself first before letting other review it ;-)
It turns out that he has incomplete Thunderbird 1.1 translation so we'll have it
translated. But let's first handle Firefox 1.1 :-) It will be the same for
Thunderbird: I as owner and he as peer.
I'm glad to hear this news. I added these information about Bulgarian l10n team
to our wiki page - http://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Localization_Teams

Does Tax Smoothing Imply Smooth Taxes?
Using a stochastic growth model subject to shocks to productivity, government expenditure and tastes we derive analytical expressions for optimal labour and capital tax rates. We find labour taxes are driven by two factors: (a) a component reflecting Ramsey efficiency considerations and (b) a component reflecting the financing needs of the government which varies with the excess burden of taxation. In the case of complete markets, when the government can issue fully contingent debt, the government insures against variations in the excess burden of taxation and so taxes change purely for efficiency reasons. Assuming logarithmic utility, both the serial correlation and variance of taxes are directly related to those of employment. As a result, optimal labour taxes can show frequent and predictable changes; can display a strong cyclical pattern and may be more or less volatile than government expenditure. Assuming a balanced growth path is however sufficient to rule out labour taxes following a martingale process. When the government can only issue risk free non-contingent debt then both Ramsey considerations and variations in the excess burden of taxation lead to changes in taxes and so increase tax volatility. The variations in the excess burden introduce a martingale component to labour taxes. The relative importance of this martingale component is positively related to uncertainty concerning government expenditure while the importance of the Ramsey component depends positively on the excess burden of taxation.

Shortly after, they founded Kind Dub Krew, and recorded 2 releases with NY lyricist "Arson" (Nick Arsenault) and featured tracks with Colorado emcee Qbala. Kind Dub has seen recent breakthroughs in the underground hip-hop scene due to their relentless work ethic and undeniable dedication to the culture. Creating quality music and providing top-notch live performances is what Kind Dub is all about. Kind Dub played their first show together on-stage in late 2013 in Fort Collins, and since have shown no signs of slowing down. Kind Dub's one-of-a-kind sound and motivating lyrics have shared stages with many great artists including People Under The Stairs, Masta Ace, Chali 2na & The Funk Hunters, Devin the Dude, Zion I, Pharoahe Monch, Da Mafia 6ix, Amp Live, Blueprint, DJ Logic, SOL, Eligh, Nappy Roots, Rhymesayers, IGE and many more. Their same work ethic has taken them on 4 tours including a trip to SXSW in 2015. They have self-managed, produced, and released 6 official projects under the Kind Dub umbrella, with the highly anticipated "Year Of The Dragonfly" album releasing November 11th, 2016.

Don't despair, Pam! One summer a few years ago we had a grand total of 1/4
inch of rain from mid-May through September. Even the summer heat
thunderstorms went around us. 18 months ago the reservoirs were down to 20%
capacity, which translates to a lot of cracked mud and borderline pumping
capabilities. The grass, which I let go dormant every summer anyway, really
looked more dead than dormant. This past year we had a blizzard and a
hurricane leading the way to record-setting rainfall. The grass came back
with a vengeance. Unfortunately so did a lot of weeds, but the lawn was
very green, anyway. Don't give up on it - it may surprise you!
Although it does sound like the buffalo grass might be nice...

Hi Sairle - welcome! I bet you are excited with the wedding coming up. You certainly have plenty to keep you distracted until May
KMVW - So sorry to hear about your DH's cancer. It must be extremely draining on the both of you, sounds like you have had quite a medical journey thus far.
As far as the supps go. You know what, if a nautropath had of recommened all that stuff we probably wouldn't have given it a second thought. I'm sure nautropaths help with some infertile couples but not to the extent when they require IVF. And I guess we went into it a little niave, thinking everything the FS says we have to do. But my god, I am glad we followed his lead on this one.
We did two samples before commencing IVF so it's not like DH was having a bad/low day with his swimmers. I hear this can happen if a man has the flu or some other temporary illness. So I really have no other explanation of how his count went from zero to 100,000. I believe whole-heartedly the supps worked.
You never know, ask your DH if he would take them and see what he says. Some guys feel incredibly guilty when they have MFI even though it is in no way their fault. Maybe taking the supps would make him feel like more part of the process. I know it was incredibly hard for my DH watching me have injections and take meds *thinking* all along that it was because of him. Now that my PCOS is having a negative affect on our fertility, he feels alot better about the situation. In some ways that's easier dealing with less emotional baggage, but medically it makes things even more challenging for us.

Born out of Necessity
March 2, 2012–
January 28, 2013
The Museum of Modern Art
- Floor 3, Exhibition Galleries
Showcasing objects that adhere to the traditional view of design as a tool for problem-solving, Born out of Necessity offers close examination of the problems themselves—whether urgent, foreseen, or imagined. From objects that respond to pressing needs in developing countries to new solutions that are tailored to the urban environment, the exhibition examines how design intervenes across a range of experiences, including medical emergencies and natural disasters. Other objects demonstrate how products created to address specific challenges for people with disabilities can provide solutions that improve everyone's life. Drawing on the narrative power of design, Born out of Necessity addresses a host of complex cultural developments, such as the need to incorporate environmental responsibility in everyday life, our attempts to marry ancient religious beliefs with contemporary mores, and the desire to anticipate and prevent technological and ecological quagmires.

Late last year, my husband, Tom, and I almostbought a house that we were not prepared for. Several months later, we found ourselves ready to give the home-buying process another shot—and this time, we felt prepared.
But we were in for some surprises. The inventory in Southern California has not kept up with the demand, and competition is fierce. Bidding wars have become commonplace, which has resulted in buyers submitting all-cash offers, waiving inspections and removing contingencies. That is just to get an offer selected—getting the mortgage has its own set of complications.
When Tom and I found another home we loved, we wrote a strong offer. Ignoring a warning from our real estate agent, we also removed our appraisal contingency. We won the bid, negotiated inspections and got preliminary loan approval. The last step was our appraisal, which, much to our surprise, came in way below our offer. The bank would not lend us what we needed, we didn't have enough cash to make up the shortfall and the seller wouldn't negotiate the price. So we lost the house. Even worse, by waiving our appraisal contingency, we nearly lost our good faith deposit of $20,000.
If you are in the market for a home, here are some of the things we learned in our second attempt at home ownership that went beyond the offer price:
- Contingencies: Loan and appraisal contingencies are there to protect a buyer in case things don't go as planned and you have to back out of an offer. Unless you can buy the house without a loan or are 100% certain that your loan will fund, beware of waiving any loan contingencies.
Appraisal contingencies are just as important. Sure, most appraisals tend to come in at the offer price (appraisers report the lower of either the contract price or the appraised value), but sometimes they don't. Unless you have the cash to make up the difference between your offer and what the house appraises for, waiving the appraisal contingency could cost you your deposit or worse.
- Employment: Tom switched jobs a year ago, and this caused problems with our mortgage application. Banks like to see continuous employment, so if you are looking for a mortgage, be prepared to jump through hoops to give them every last detail about your last several years of work. They will likely call your old boss too, so don't burn any bridges.
I thought getting an offer accepted was the hard part. As an efficient-market believer, I figured the appraised value would be whatever I was willing to pay. But this seemingly perfunctory part of the process blew up our entire deal—and nearly cost us $20,000.
So make sure to mind the small print on your contract and mortgage application—your money may depend on it.

5 Tips to Cut Expenses at the Doctor's Office
When I was first out of college and started paying my own medical bills, going to the doctor terrified me. Not because my doctors weren't wonderful people, but because of that slow walk to the billing counter after my visit. Not knowing much about my insurance (or health insurance in general), I had no idea what my visit/prescription/etc. would cost or the best way to pay for it.
But as with any system, there are some pretty great tricks that can lessen the sting of medical costs. Here are some of the hacks I have picked up along the way:
- Pay in cash: Many medical providers have a discounted price for services paid for with cash. To get the deal, most often you do not get to use your insurance, so there is no credit to reaching your deductible if you have a PPO plan. But if you are unlikely to hit your deductible anyway, it may be worth it.
- Shop Around: Many people find themselves in health insurance plans that do not make sense for their needs. For example, a higher-priced HMO plan may not make sense for the 35-year-old who visits the doctor once a year. Alternatively, for dual-working couples, one spouse's medical plan may have better family benefits than the other. Compare your options and costs to see if your plan matches your lifestyle.
- Open an HSA: Health savings accounts are tax-advantaged accounts available to people with high-deductible health insurance plans. HSAs allow you to pay for medical expenses using before-tax dollars, which can net a savings north of 40% for taxpayers in the highest tax bracket. Contributions are limited to $3,350 a year for individuals and $6,650 a year for families, but unlike flexible spending accounts, you don't have to use all the contributions in the same year. In fact, if you build up a balance over time, the account turns into an IRA at age 65 and distributions can come out for nonmedical purposes.
- Track All Expenses: Most people know to keep records of what they paid to their doctor, but there are many more expenses that should be tracked as potential itemized deductions. Chiropractors, dentists, acupuncturists and any other nontraditional medical practitioner visits count. Prescriptions are also just the start—eyeglasses, parking fees and even transportation costs can also add up to tax savings on your tax return.
- Consider Filing Separately: If you have a year of high medical costs for one spouse, check with your CPA to see if it makes sense to file separate returns. Since medical expenses have to be over a 7.5% or 10% adjusted gross income amount before they are deductible, lowering the income for that spouse can help one reach that floor sooner.
Ultimately, all you need to do is keep good records, ask questions of the billing departments and put a little upfront work into making your health care plan perfect for you. No one wants to have to go to the doctor, but you can at least try to save some money when you do.
