The Glyptotek's Rodin collection is unique outside of France. It contains such major works as "The Kiss", "The Thinker" and the monumental "Burghers of Calais".
Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) is often seen as the rebellious forefather of modern sculpture, but in fact he raised no conscious revolt against the sculpture of his day. Rodin struggled for academic recognition but never managed to pass the entrance examination to the Academy of Arts in Paris.
Instead he was self-taught and developed a unique method for the modelling of complex forms in clay and plaster. Many of his most famous works were criticised in his lifetime. They broke with a tradition of idealised, decorative sculpture with little room to manoeuvre in how mythological or literary subjects could be presented. Rodin's distinguishing characteristic is a realistic but expressive modelling of the body together with a great sense of the symbolic content of the motif. Slowly he attained popularity and achieved his decisive breakthrough at the World Exposition in Paris in 1900.
Carl Jacobsen, the founder of the Glyptotek, saw Rodin's masterpiece "The Thinker" at the French Exhibition in Copenhagen in 1888, and from 1900 he began to buy works directly from the artist whom he liked to visit in Paris. Jacobsen's collection of 24 sculptures has since grown to 43.

Posted by Julie Ask on December 12, 2013
Instagram's 'Instagram Direct' announcement this morning left me speechless, as I followed the live feed (thank you CNET) from the West Coast. First, let me disclose that I am middle-aged. I'm 45 years of age. What does this mean? I remember AIM in the late nineties. I remember the days when chat sessions evaporated. I remember my first cell phone in 1997 and texting my friends – mostly in Europe at that time. The idea of communicating with people I know first and foremost is not new to me. It is very comfortable – more so than Tweeting or posting.
Bottom line: This is a "catch-up" move for Instagram.
1) Mobile phones have always been about communicating with friends and people we know. The magic of mobile phones early on was that a person's phone number was their ID. It made it so easy to send SMS or MMS messages.
2) Instagram has 150M downloads, and half of their users are active daily. That is awesome. However, its competitors globally – Kakao Talk, WeChat, etc. – have two to three times that number. Apps like WeChat already allow users to share videos, photos, messages, cartoons, voice clips, etc. to individuals, groups, groups created around an event, etc.
3) Messaging will help them earn more mobile media minutes. I spoke with Chris Hill at Mobidia last week, and he shared some of their data on usage minutes. In their sample from mid-October, Kakao Talk had more than 200 minutes of usage per week, WhatsApp was just shy of 200, while Kik Messenger, LINE, and WeChat fell just below 100 minutes of use per week. If they were to post ads as a means of monetization, minutes spent is key.

Arcade Fire to release new album in October
Listen to Arcade Fire on iHeartRadio
Arcade Fire have quietly announced the release date for the follow-up to their Grammy-winning 2010 effort, The Suburbs. The Canadian rockers took to Twitter Friday to respond to a fan who called them his favorite.
In addition to a simple "thanks," the band's response also included the news that their new album will be out on October 29th. They posted a picture as well, although it's unclear whether it will be the still-untitled record's final cover art.
@fifferwright Thanks. Our new album will be out October 29th. pic.twitter.com/CAgYucvimo— Arcade Fire (@arcadefire) July 12, 2013
Arcade Fire have been working on the new album for a while now, most recently meeting up with producer and former LCD Soundsystem leader James Murphy at DFA Records' studio in New York City. Murphy said he thinks the band has come up with a "really great record."

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
In late December 2004, word surfaced that Lowery had left the band, and those rumors proved true the following February when Sevendust announced ex-Snot guitarist Sonny Mayo as Lowery's replacement. (Lowery, a co-founder of Sevendust, eventually surfaced in the hard rock supergroup Dark New Day.) Next, Sevendust's fifth album and their first self-produced effort, appeared in October 2005. The record failed to sell as much as its predecessors, but Sevendust nevertheless signed to Asylum Records and issued Alpha in March 2007. Alpha fared better than Next, climbing to number 14 on the Billboard charts and paving the way for the band's seventh effort. Chapter VII: Hope and Sorrow arrived in April 2008, featuring an appearance by former American Idol star Chris Daughtry, followed by Cold Day Memory in 2010. Their ninth album, Black Out the Sun, arrived in 2013. Looking to change things up, the band's next release was a bit of an experiment, with the guys stripping away their metal edge to release an album of acoustic tracks. Time Travelers & Bonfires, released in the spring of 2014, debuted at number 18 on Billboard's Top 200. A year later, the group returned with the heavier Kill the Flaw. ~ Kirk Dombek

Banded Tuition
Beginning Fall 2016, undergraduate students enrolled at all Indiana University campuses, including IU South Bend, will pay one rate for their basic tuition when taking between 12 credits and 18 credits. Banded tuition is designed to help students graduate in four years and reduce the cost of their education. For more information go to http://www.iusb.edu/succeed/banded-tuition.html
Summer 2017 Students can charge their books
Students wishing to charge up to $650.00 of their school books to their bursar accounts can do so if they register before 05.25.17. On the "Optional Fees" page, click on the Book Fee button. This will add the $650.00 book charge to your bursar account. The campus bookstore will begin processing orders on 05.08.17. They will continue processing orders through 05.26.17. After 05.26.17 when the Bursar's Office receives the charge file from Barnes & Noble, the $650.00 fee will be waived and your actual charge amount will be posted to your bursar account.
If you plan to use excess financial aid to pay your book charge, you must have a Title lV Authorization on file on your One.IU account.
- Go to One.IU and log in
- Go to:Services & Information>Student Authorizations>Grant Authorizations>South Bend Campus>Title lV Authorization
- Read the Authorization
- Select Next
- Click on the box stating that you have read the Authorization
- Click Submit
If you choose the book allowance fee, but your total comes to more than $650.00, you must provide a credit/debit card number on the Barnes & Noble website. Your order will not be processed without it.
Welcome to IU South Bend's Office of the Bursar web site. The Office of the Bursar, located in the Administration Building, is responsible for the timely dissemination of accurate information relating to a student's bursar account. We interact daily with students, parents, faculty, staff, and administrators as well as with outside agencies. It is our goal to provide outstanding customer service while maintaining a high level of integrity, honesty and professional ethics.
The Office of the Bursar also acts as a clearing house for student charges and credits, in addition to processing payments, credits, charges and refunds. This office monitors student accounts and generates monthly electronic bills (e-bills).
Attention New IU South Bend Students
IU South Bend must comply with federal regulations for disbursement of Title IV financial aid (Stafford Loan, Pell Grant, Perkins Loan, Graduate PLUS Loan, Parent PLUS Loan, etc.). Without a signed Authorization, Title IV aid can be applied only to certain charges(tuition, mandatory fee, course-related fees, program fees, contracted housing charge). With a signed Authorization, Title IV aid can be applied to all IU charges (Health Center charges, parking permits, library fines, optional fees, etc). Even with a signed Authorization, current academic year (fall and spring terms) Title IV aid cannot pay more than $200 of any prior year charges.
If you wish to sign an Authorization and ensure the most inclusive use of your federal aid, you may do so on One.IU Self-Service by following these steps:
- Go to One.IU and login
- Search for "Title IV"
- Read the Authorization
- Select Next.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by blueadams, Apr 15, 2013.
That's the same thing that Pistons' management told Amir Johnson.
very few Piston games elapsed without me thinking about Frank - "he has never played a single game - not even in college". I do hold it against him a bit but I also think it shows in his coaching. I would love to have Lamb in here.
Both times, they meant Canada.
Need a clean sweep...........JD..........Larry.........Stuckey..........and any two that the PF picks.......bye bye...... I wanna see pistons' luggage at the airport on their way out..........
The fact that Lawrence Frank isn't succeeding might actually strengthen Joe Dumars' position in the eyes of Tom Gores. Frank was Gores' guy and finds himself on the hot-seat after not connecting with his players and having a horrible season. Joe wanted Mike Woodson. Coach Wood is a COY candidate who's done an amazing job putting his players in the best possible position to succeed. His team is #2 in the East after suffering an injury-riddled season on a roster that already had a lot of mis-matched pieces. I'm not saying that Woodson would have got the Pistons in the playoffs but I believe that almost everyone on the team would have become better and experienced more professional growth than they did with Frank.
Assessment on Joe isn't about what he did to get us into this mess but what he plans to do to get us out. It was painfully clear that the pieces didn't fit and Frank wasn't the guy to make them fit. IF Dumars shows a reluctance to cut bait on Stuckey or if his FA targets are not the right type of guys, then he should be dismissed. If anything, signing retreads or retaining turds under the auspices of "retaining assets" has been a major flaw in his GM decision-making. I don't blame him too much for BG and CV. Everyone makes a misstep. What separates the top franchises is mainly luck. You need a star to land in your lap. Look at Indiana, Milwaukee, Golden State - yeah they added some solid guys, sure they drafted a very good player and yeah, 2nd round at best. It takes these unlucky but well managed teams years to turn things around and still how far do they get? Joe did something that was unique and even more so in modern NBA - his team was build on 5 fringe all-stars. That team was beated by team sporting 1 legendary player. Annointing Monroe as our franchise player only goes to show that we don't have true talent on the team. There are too many middling players.
We have to look at the past to predict how effective JD will be in the future. I haven't lost all trust in him, but I'm very skeptical. His abandonment of core principals in the past is the main reason. Good $ values, character guys, and defense seemed to be his philosophy at the beginning. That somehow migrated into AI, Ben Gordon, Ronald Murray, Nazr Muhammed, Chris Webber, and Charlie V while dropping two of our cheapest players and best defenders with great character (Afflalo/ Johnson). He also developed a combo guard obsession and overloaded the team with guards with egos, thereby sowing the seeds for discontentment. He had effectively blamed coaches for all of the failures since the Championship. All in all, he has spent many more seasons pursuing offensive solutions than he did at the beginning striving for a defensive powerhouse. Hiring Flip Saunders was the first sign of it. But the good news is that JD achieved his greatest accomplishment with his original principals. Maybe with his back against the wall, he will cling to them.
Jud? What an honor!
I disagree. DET has never won anything with a "star." Of the 3 championships we have, none of them of come from us having "the guy" and the one time we thought we had "the guy" (Grant Hill), he promptly bolted town and we got the guy that was actually the catalyst in us winning our 3rd championship. WE all view Isiah Thomas as one of the single best point guards in NBA history, however, the rest of the world just views him as the guy that interfered with Magic, Bird, and Jordan. Nevermind the fact that the team you just mentioned was not beaten by 1 legendary player, it was beaten by being dismantled from the inside, letting it's heart and soul walk out the door while trying to replace it with "Hands of Stone" Nazr Garvin, & hiring a coach that everyone new was inept before he coached his 1st game and this was AFTER that DET team completely undressed a team with 4 HOF's that the entire planet (with the exception of Doc Rivers) assumed would sweep us. If you're waiting for DET to get it's Lebron James, we'll be sitting here for another 20 years. As far as Monroe...I'm seriously confused on what some fans want from Greg Monroe. Not only has he been durable over the course of his 3 years in DET, but, he's SECOND in pts and rebounding for all centers in the Eastern Conference and FOURTH in the entire NBA. ...and this isn't specifically directed at you Slippy, but wow...I guess there is no pleasing fans. What more do you (fans, in general) want the guy to do? I can't believe how much talk I've heard this season about Monroe having "hit a plateau" or "needs to be moved" so DET can really get serious about improving. REALLY? We have one of the single best big men in the entire NBA on our roster and people are 'annoyed' with him and that's without considering Drummond looks to be just as strong as he improves. I have no idea what it will take to make some people happy. If we can't be satisfied with LITERALLY a top 5 center/PF in the NBA, NO ONE will be good enough for us.
Right. It was something in my mind but couldn't articulate it for myself. Can't put much blame on coaches for handling rosters as...dumars organized... For Gores it is the most important thing. He does not give a damn for events two years ago; he asks only one question: here we are at the bottom of NBA, how long, Joe ? It is something irritating for me in this forum - again - this whining - everything below to TOP 5 -10 players - bench him, trade him, wont be "our " superstar" wow. Knight is not Deron Williams - bench him, etc.
Phil Jackson 'itching' to return to NBA as either coach or executive, sources say - ESPN Los Angeles
We are talking about two different things. I am talking about how difficult it is to build a great team. Most teams that have success have lucked into a phenomenal player. Is that pure GM savy that Portland took Oden and OKC then picked Durant? We didn't get a superstar but went on a 6 year tear. That is a great accomplishment. Dumars did that. He did something very few GMs have done. If it was easy, others would have done it more often. Since its difficult, I can see how Dumars struggled recently. As for Monroe, I like Monroe. I like him as the cornerstone of the franchise. I see him at least as good or even better than Cleveland's Irving, Washington's Wall, Sacramento's Cousins...but look where they are. Tell me you would hold on to Monroe if someone offered Durant or James. That's a whole different class of player. BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT. We can talk about Monroe someplace else. With relatively poor draft position, Dumars has amassed very good talent. But to succeed in a league full of very good talent. It takes a bit more than that.
I'd offer Phil Jackson the Pistons' GM job and tell him that he can do it from LA. Also give him a $100MM bonus if he can accomplish a 3-peat for us.
I think its safe to say that Monroe and Drummond are the frontcourt and we can build from there.
That, I can agree with. I don't think he took the easy road. But, I do think that he believed he could do it easier than anyone else and whenever he wanted. Granted, but Durant or James are 2 of the handful of A level stars in this league. It would take an act of god for ANY team to land those guys if they didn't draft them. It's not like we're at the bottom of the talent scale and the rest of the league is at the top. Once you get past your Kobe, Lebron, Durants, Monroe is on par with the rest of the talent in the NBA. We are fine. The goal should be if you can't get a Kobe (which hardly anyone can), then you have to build a team FULL OF (not just one or two) Greg Monroes (guys who rank near the top in certain categories). Just like Dumars built that team with Ben Wallaces, Billups', Hamiltons, and the like. If you can't get Lebron, you need to have a team full of B level talent to be competitive. It's not like the NBA is just a Kobe/Lebron/Durant pick 'em game every Finals (Hell, LA barely got into the playoffs this year). They market the league like it is, but it's really not.
I'd actually believe in the Zen Master if he successfully lobbied to get the NBA officiating to favor DET. THAT would make me take off my skep-tacles
Phil Jackson. Sure, I guess. If he's going to commit to the job 100%. If he can attract lucrative free agents and coaches. I always thought he was a lucky hack as a coach though.
Jordan lucked out by getting him as a coach. Without that, he'd just be another Tracy McGrady!
I agree wholeheartedly with this sentiment. I think Monroe is the 'model citizen' of Detroit Basketball. Hardworking, not flashy, down to earth. He is a great kid, and a really good ball player. Player A (p/36): 17.8pts/8.6rb/4.3ast/ 50.1TS%/17.7PER / .075 WS/48 Player B (P/36): 17.4pts/10.4rbs/3.8ast/ 52.8TS%/ 19.5PER / .106WS/48 One of those players is Josh Smith. The other is Greg Monroe. Ill let you guys guess which is which.
Beat us in the 91 ECF with the Bulls and lost in the 04 Finals with the Lakers. Zen has to have an inner respect for Detroit. Gores has said he is willing to spend. How much is anyone's guess. He could throw a ton of cash at Jackson and that would be good with me. Or, he could throw a lot less cash at Laimbeer and that would also be good with me.
Separate names with a comma.

Okay, so I've finally decided to make my own WIP-thread. I don't have too much to show yet, but I'm the kind of person who needs to write things down as I do them. So where better to make an in-progress thread than in this fantastic forum!?
To me, planning is half the fun. Which is why I'll probably be asking random questions as I move along on my costume. I need to have everything planned, because if I come to a stop and don't know what to do from there, I have a bad habit of giving up. Which I won't do this time. Cheer me on, will you?
Okay, over to the WIP then... I'm currently working on a scratchbuilt cardboard helmet (Rafal's templates), and I only have the dome left of the basic shaping. I'll post pictures later today. I have also ordered and paid for one of Asok's cold cast helmets, as well as a cape, spats and wookie braids from Woodman. So at least I have begun the process. But due to no studies and no job, money is the biggest issue here. So this might take a while....
And then I have a question. I've figured that I want to do the ROTJ SE Boba, and I can't seem to find any good reference pics of the helmet alone in the SE section of the gallery. But that helmet, is it ESB? With the yellow killstripes and all... I want to start looking for paints, that's why I ask. So any suggestions to colours and where I can get them would be nice.

Tropical Glacier Retreat
In a previous post entitled Worldwide Glacier Retreat, we highlighted the results of a study by J. Oerlemans, who compiled glacier data from around the world and used them to estimate temperature change over the last ~400 years. A question that arose in subsequent online discussion was to what extent Oerlemans had relied on glaciers from tropical regions (answer: he didn't), and what the reasons are behind retreat of glaciers in these regions. Raymond Pierrehumbert, a climate dynamicist at the University of Chicago, kindly offered to write a guest editorial to further clarify what we do and don't know about tropical glacier retreat. Pierrehumbert's editorial follows below. –eric
The Tropics, loosely defined as the region from 30N to 30S latitude, make up nearly half the surface area of the Earth; they are home to 70% of its people, and the vast majority of its biological diversity. Moreover, the tropical region is the "accumulation zone" for the Earth's energy balance, with a great deal of excess solar energy being exported to help warm the rest of the planet. Detection and characterization of climate change in the Tropics is therefore a matter of great concern. Assessing the ability of climate models to reproduce this change is an important part of determining the fidelity with which the models can be expected to forecast the way climate will change in response to future increases in greenhouse gas content.
Figure 1: The Qori Kallis Glacier in the Peruvian Andes
Throughout the Tropics, glaciers are in retreat. Well-documented examples include Quelccaya [Thompson, et al. 1993], Huascaran [Byers, 2000; Kaser and Osmaston,2002], Zongo and Chacaltaya [Francou,et al 2003; Wagnon et al. 1999] in S. America; and the Lewis, Rwenzori and Kilimanjaro (more properly, Kibo) glaciers in East Africa [Hastenrath, 1984; Kaser and Osmaston, 2002]. There have been indications of widespread retreat of Himalayan glaciers, including Dasuopu in the subtropics, but a quantitative understanding of this region must await peer-reviewed analysis of the recently completed 46000-glacier Chinese Glacier Inventory. The case of Quelccaya, in the Andes, is especially interesting, because it provides direct evidence of an unusual recent warming trend. When the summit core was first drilled in 1976, the chemical composition of the ice showed well-preserved annual layering throughout its depth, accounting for a time span of 1500 years. When attempts were made to update the record by redrilling in 1991, it was found that the annual cycle had been wiped out over the top 20 meters of the core by percolation of meltwater from extensive melting of the ice surface since 1976. Melting of this sort had not occurred at the summit at any time during the previous 1500 years, and indicates an increase of 150 m, between 1976 and 1991, of the altitude at which significant melting occurs. A vivid animation showing the retreat of the Qori Kalis glacier flowing out of Quelccaya can be seen here.
The widespread retreat is all the more notable because tropical mountain glaciers are old. They have survived thousands of years of natural climate fluctuations, only to dwindle at a time when other climate indicators — notably surface temperature — are showing the imprint of human influence on climate. Quelccaya is at least 1500 years old, Dasuopo is 9000 years old, and Huascaran has seen 19000 years. A date for the ultimate demise of these glaciers has not been fixed, but the Northern Ice Field on Kilimanjaro may be gone in as little as twenty years, after having survived the past 11,000 years.
Figure 2. Top: The Yanapaccha glacier in the Huascaran National Park, Peru (from Byers, 2000). Bottom: The Elena Glacier on Mt. Stanley, in the Rwenzori massif near the Congo-Uganda border. (From Kaser and Osmaston, 2002).
The tropical glaciers are certainly telling us that something unusual –and probably unprecedented for centuries or even millennia — has been happening to tropical climate. The problem at this point is to determine which of the many characteristics of climate change they are indicating, and to what extent these changes can be attributed to the train of events set in motion by anthropogenic increase of greenhouse gases.

text: After the game in Denver, CB made a visit to the Denver locker room. This is our first indication on CB's mind set. This is not lost on JD, and perhaps it never was a surprise about how these things will play out. This might be a very heavy indication JB will have to get something for CB come trade deadline time and the pickings are slim with Denver. Karl won't let Camby go so a Sheed and CB trade would have difficulty. Still it might be interesting to get JR Smith, Yakhouba Diawara and Joe Smith for our two all stars.

Have any of you ever heard of these? I picked up some bluebills for cheap last week. I tried doing a Google search, but not much info available. One forum I found said these are from the 60's and are collectible. They are supposed to be one of the first plastic weighted decoys on the market and were the cat's meow at the time. One guy said he sold a pintail of this brand in mint condition for $30. The ones I got are far from mint, they have almost no original paint left.
My question is, should I not use them because they are a "collectors" item or should I repaint them and use them? I bought them for the purpose of using until I read they may be "worth something".
I'm also debating on painting them to look like coot instead of back to bluebills. Do you think ducks will notice the difference in shape from one species to the other and be scared off if the paint scheme looks like a coot?

How To Write A Simple Lexical Analyzer or Parser
This paper is a response to an e-mail question asking if anyone had code to validate if a sequence of characters was a valid XML name which was not a reserved XML name (starting with 'x'|'X' 'm'|'M' 'l'|'L') or a qualified name (one containing ':'). See Section 2.3 of the XML Specification.
Languages are defined using a grammar. There are many notations for grammars but most are some variant of EBNF, XML is no exception to this rule. The variant of EBNF used for the XML notation is described in Section 6 of the XML Specification. Transforming an EBNF grammar into a lexical analyzer and/or parser is a relatively straight forward process. For simplicity here I'm going to define the lexical analyzer as the portion of code which transforms a stream of characters into tokens and the parser as something which reads the tokens and takes some action once it has recognized production rules. There are libraries, such as the Boost Spirit Library and well as tools such as Lex and Yacc which can be used to aid in writing lexical analyzers and parser but knowing how to write these simply and directly is an invaluable tool in any programmers tool chest - also experience with writing such systems will make you more productive when using the libraries and tools and give you some insight into when you need to use them. Some issues (including this one) can also be addressed by writing a regular expression using a library such as the Boost Regex Library - however, dealing with the numerous ranges of values in the grammar production with this problem are difficult to express in a regular expression.
When you look at a typical EBNF grammar it will often not be separated into which parts are the lexical analyzer production rules and which are the parser production rules - the structure of both a simple parser and simple lexer will be the same, and the separation becomes apparent once you start writing the grammar. Because the structure is the same I'm going to refer from here on to both parts as simply the parser.
A Simple Recursive Decent Parser
To solve our problem of validating a name we're going to write a simple recursive decent,or top-down, parser. The basic idea is we will be reading from a stream of character denoted by a pair of InputIterators - we will only need to read each character once without backtracking (a grammar which can be read without backtracking in this fashion is known as an LL(1) grammar.
To do this we are going to translate each production rule into a function which will return a bool with the value true if it recognizes the production and false if it does not. If it does recognize the production then the stream will be advanced to the end of the production and a value will be updated with the recognized production. Otherwise, the stream and value are left unchanged. Such a function will follow this pattern:
bool is_production(I& first, I last, T& value);
Rather than passing first and last through all of our functions we're going to create a simple struct which holds them and write the is_production() as a member function:
template <typename I> // I models InputIterator struct parser { bool is_production(T& value); I f_m; // first I l_m; // last };
Writing the body of the production is generally quite simple as we shall see - let's start one level down in our grammar from the XML specification with this production rule:
NameChar ::= Letter | Digit | '.' | '-' | '_' | ':' | CombiningChar | Extender
Because we only want unqualified names we're going to use a production dropping the ':'.
NameCharUnqualified ::= Letter | Digit | '.' | '-' | '_' | CombiningChar | Extender
The specification of the XML parser is in terms of UCS2 code points (as opposed to characters) and this production is only going to recognize a single code point - so we will write it as:
uint16_t code_point_t; template <typename I> // I models InputIterator // require value_type(I) == code_point_t struct xml_parser { bool is_name_char_unqualified(code_point_t& c) { /*...*/ } I f_m; // first I l_m; // last };
The body of the function is nearly identical to the production rule:
bool is_name_char_unqualified(code_point_t& c) { return is_letter(c) || is_digit(c) || is_match('.', c) || is_match('-', c) || is_match('_', c) || is_combining_char(c) || is_extender(c); }
The is_letter() function is even simpler:
Letter ::= BaseChar | Ideographic
bool is_letter(code_point_t& c) { return is_base_char(c) || is_ideographic(c); }
The is_match() is a helper function for terminal productions. A terminal production is a production which is not defined in terms of another production. It is in the terminal productions where the interesting work is done. Here is the body.
bool is_match(code_point_t x, code_point_t& c) { if (f_m == l_m || *f_m != x) return false; c = x; ++f_m; return true; }
If we are at the end of our steam or the current character is not a match then return false. Otherwise we set our value to the matched character, increment the stream, and return true.
The remaining productions are all of a form which match one of a set of code points:
Ideographic ::= [#x4E00-#x9FA5] | #x3007 | [#x3021-#x3029]
Some of the tables, such as the one for BaseChar are quite large making it prohibitively expensive to write an expression like (0x4E00U <= x && x <= 0x9FA5U) || (x == 0x3007U) || .... Instead we will create a simple lookup table. When dealing with a parser that works with a simple char type we could just build a table with 256 elements that contained an enumeration as to the character type. Our table for these would be a bit large (but we could do it - 64K elements) - but instead we'll create an array of ranges which contain the code points we want to match and search to find if our character is in one of the ranges. To do that we'll create a semi-open ranges for each character range of the form (f0, l0], (f1, l1], ... and then use lower bound to search the table, if we end up on an odd index (starting at 0) then the item is in the range, an even index it is not. This strategy means we can't represent a range which includes 0 but 0 is not a valid character in an XML production. The code for the table lookup for <Ideographic> is like so:
bool in_ideographic(code_point_t c) { static const code_point_t table[] = { 0x4DFFU, 0x9FA5U, // [#x4E00-#x9FA5] 0x3006U, 0x3007U, // #x3007 0x3020U, 0x3029U // [#x3021-#x3029] }; return (adobe::lower_bound(table, c) - boost::begin(table)) & 0x01; }
To transform from the closed ranges to the semi-open ranges we subtract one from the first item in the range. Note that this code doesn't have to be a member function and is not a template - we can put these lookup tables in a .cpp file. We'll use this function in our is_ideographic() member function:
bool is_ideographic(code_point_t& c) { return is_match(in_ideographic, c); }
is_match() is another variant of our previous is_match which takes a predicate function instead of a value:
bool is_match(bool (*p)(code_point_t), code_point_t& c) { if (f_m == l_m || !p(*f_m)) return false; c = *f_m; ++f_m; return true; }
The remaining productions used by is_name_char_unqualified()are written the same way - just with larger tables.
The only production left to handle is the one for Name:
Name ::= (Letter | '_' | ':') (NameChar)*
We drop the ':' from this production as well:
NameUnqualified ::= (Letter | '_') (NameCharUnqualified)*
And we could write this production something like the following:
bool is_name_unqualified(string16_t& s) { string16_t result; code_point_t c; if (!is_letter(c) && !is_match('_', c)) return false; result += c; while(is_name_char_unqualified(c)) result += c; s = result; return c; }
This is were we are moving past a lexical analyzer and into a parser, however, for our needs this is relatively inefficient. We're constructing and copying a string twice for which we really don't care about the value except that we need to assure that it doesn't start with 'xml' (case insensitive). If we needed a full parser we would write a more efficient way of managing tokens - but for this problem we don't need that. Instead we'll check for 'xml' as we proceed by unrolling a the first couple of executions of the loop. If we find it ''xml' return false. This will violate our rule on stream advancement only if we fully recognize a production - we'll choose a different naming convention for this function so we don't accidentally confuse it for a normal production later.
bool valid_name_unqualified_unreserved() { code_point_t c; if (!is_letter(c) && !is_match('_', c)) return false; bool reserved = c == code_point_t('X') || c == code_point_t('x'); if (!is_name_char_unqualified(c)) return false; reserved = reserved && (c == code_point_t('M') || c == code_point_t('m')); if (!is_name_char_unqualified(c)) return false; if (reserved && (c == code_point_t('L') || c == code_point_t('l'))) return false; while (is_name_char_unqualified(c)) ; return true; }
Finally - to make this a little simpler to invoke we write a wrapper function which just creates a temporary instance of the class and we add one last check to make sure that the valid name made up the entire range provided:
template <typename I> // I models InputIterator // require value_type(I) == code_point_t bool valid_name_unqualified_unreserved(I f, I l) { xml_parser<I> parser = { f, l }; return parser.valid_name_unqualified_unreserved() && parser.f_m == l; }
That's the complete code - besides having a solution to our problem we also have a general framework for building other solutions to parsing problems and a pretty decent start that can be reused for other XML related issues. Parsers written in this style are simple to extend even if they are packaged as a library, you can simply inherit from the struct and add additional productions. The code described here took very little time to write (the biggest hassle was building the larger lookup tables from the productions in the XML specification.
The complete example file can be found here.

GNOME 3.2 Released, tons of new features!
Just a very quick entry to let you all know that GNOME 3.2 is already available. It incorporates lots of new and awesome features that I will be testing when Fedora 16 final is out (don´t want to spoil the fun by forcing an installation on top of a distro release that may not be fully ready for this latest release). While we wait for Verne, though, it is a good idea to see what will be available for all GNOME 3.2 users. The GNOME team have done a great job summarizing those features and enhancements, so please visit their Release Notes PAGE. I already liked GNOME 3 and GNOME Shell under Fedora 15 (although I admit it took a little bit of effort to adjust to it), but with these great features I see GNOME as a truly great product (assuming they work as expected, of course). I do feel it has more than enough to satisfy any kind of user... Unless they are into heavy eye candy customization, that is.

I have yet to experiment with Gnome 3, but am thinking about giving it a try. Any distro suggestions? I really enjoyed the KDE distro comparison and would enjoy a similar one for Gnome 3!ReplyDelete
I think Fedora is your safest bet, in my opinion. Release 15 already felt mature being the first GNOME3 release ever... Fedora 16 should rock hard!ReplyDelete

In Rob Reiner's 1984 "rockumentary," This Is Spinal Tap, one of the main characters, Nigel Tufnel, proclaims that they are different than other bands because their amplifiers "go to ll." (You have to watch this clip if you don't know what I am talking about).
What a perfect analog of how B2B companies are trying to differentiate themselves today. I have the opportunity to work with sales and marketing professionals on the topic of competitive preference, and here are some actual quotes from vendors about how they think they separate themselves from "other blokes":
Translation? "These go to 11."
You know the show MythBusters?
Forrester's Sales Enablement team is testing the conventional wisdoms of sales and marketing by asking executive level buyers what they think.

Walcott meets Arsenal short mat bowls team
Theo Walcott meets the Arsenal short mat bowls team
To kick-off Arsenal in the Community's 25th anniversary this week, Theo Walcott met participants of the Arsenal short mat bowls team. When the Club established its community department 25 years ago, the Arsenal short mat bowls teams were one of the first groups to come together and enjoy an association with the Club.
Since Arsenal in the Community's formation a quarter-century ago, the Club has invested over 5.5 million hours in one million individuals across a wide variety of sporting, charitable, educational and social inclusion projects in London and overseas.
Walcott's visit marks the milestone and throughout the week, Arsenal in the Community will share the work it undertakes with several Arsenal players who will visit an array of projects throughout a week which will culminate in a celebration at Emirates Stadium on February 25th with manager, Arsène Wenger.
Speaking ahead at the event, Theo Walcott said: "There's so much more to Arsenal than what takes place on the pitch. This week gives players another chance to see the work that takes place in the community and meet the participants who are proudly associated with the Club and the team. It's important that we know about the work of the department off the pitch at Arsenal to stay connected with our supporters and the area where we play."
Head of Arsenal in the Community, Alan Sefton added: "It's great that Theo can join us this afternoon to kick-off an important week in the department's history. Arsenal in the Community's schemes involve a cross section of community and in this instance, the bowls team are an older group of supporters who have been associated with the Club for 25 years. The sessions are coordinated and received with the same energy and commitment today as when they started 25 years ago. To us, that's the true test of success."
This week, Arsenal players will be visiting a variety of the Club's education, sport and social inclusion programmes.
Our slideshow below features some retrospective images of the bowls club plus pictures from Theo's visit.
The bowls programme is supported by the Premier League/PFA Community Fund which is administered and managed by the Football Foundation.
This special Arsenal in the Community 25th anniversary event also formed part of the Premier League initiative Places for Players (part of the Creating Chances scheme) which uses the power of football to engage a cross section of community in a wide variety of projects.

Hello Pali friends,
In the article from Rhys-Davids'es dictionary this term is explained as:
Gaṇhati & Gaṇhāti
Meanings: to take, take up; take hold of; grasp, seize; assume; ...
http://dsal.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/philol ... :1074.pali
This spectrum of meanings does not include the meaning of this word in the context of perception.
Monier-Williams dictionary gives such meanings:
grah [RV. in a few passages only AV. &c.] or grabh [RV. rarely AV.], cl. 9. P. gṛbhṇāti gṛhṇā́ti (also Ā. gṛhṇīte, irreg. gṛhṇate MuṇḍUp. 3. pl. gṛbhṇate RV.
• to perceive (with the organs of sense or with mánas), observe, recognise RV. i, 139, 10 and 145, 2 VS. i, 18 ŚBr. xiv MuṇḍUp. ŚvetUp. &c
• to receive into the mind, apprehend, understand, learn Nal. R. Ragh. v, 59 Pañcat. i, 1, 23
And the new Pali-English dictionary by Margaret Cone also gives:
5. receives into the mind, apprehends, learns; accepts (instuction or criticism); ...
gāhi(n), mfn. [S. grāhin], seizing, grasping; holding; taking, receiving; apprehending; ...
In the context of perception, thuis term means 'apprehends', 'becomes conscious of, through the senses', 'perceives'.

Hmmm...can you even get Bodyglide in NZ? Maybe it's not available everywhere... I'd order it online and pay international shipping if I couldn't get it locally--it works that well!
We will have to see pics of you in your fancy race getup, you know!
maybe we can start a girls of RA calendar - or boyz of RA, either way seeing that men's running shorts are just as skimpy (although i wear my longish Nike shorts just cause i'm cool like that). That'd be hot, all Body-Glided up. It'll sell like hotcakes.

If you can't get Bodyglide, you can also use Vaseline as well. It's just as hard to get out as Bodyglide afterwards. I use Vaseline on my face when the temperature nears single digits Fahrenheit.
I think your optimism at the potential sales of this calender may be a little high.

I have never found Bodyglide to be difficult to remove. It's kind of like that waxy lip balm. Hmmm...I wonder if a person could use Chapstick in a pinch...?

Meet the Johnsons
On trash day in Mill Valley, California, the Johnson home has no garbage. Nothing. There is a hefty compost bin and a teeny recycling bin—one that Béa Johnson is embarrassed exists at all. "So much recycling really goes to waste, so you need to try to reduce that too."
Garbage, though, is something that happens rarely in this modern, minimalistically decorated house. That's by day-to-day intention—to live simpler and lighter on the planet. Their quest started three years ago when Béa and husband Scott downsized from a 3,000-square-foot home to their current 1,400 square feet. But it had been on Béa's mind ever since she'd nannied for a family that lost everything in a fire. Béa decided she wanted to truly love and use and know everything she kept in her home. "Even down to the vegetable peeler," she says.
Béa documents her zero-waste lifestyle in her blog,

These muffins have plenty of Paleo-approved protein from the almonds and coconut to keep you running until lunchtime. You can add more sweetener to your taste, another nut butter in place of the almond butter, and a handful of blueberries or some grated apple, mashed bananas or cinnamon for a more complex flavor. The possibilities are endless! They are also great served with a side of bacon.
|almond butter
|coconut milk, full fat
|coconut, unsweetened shredded
|vanilla, (optional)
|coconut sap, or raw honey (optional)
|paper muffin liners
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- Combine all ingredients and pour into muffin tin.

Is there supposed to be almond flour in this recipe?
Tried these this morning – they're pretty great! They needed to cook closer to 20-25 minutes in my electric oven.
This recipe makes 12, which is a lot for little old me. How long will they keep? Not long, I'm guessing…
This recipe was wonderful! I am going to try a little cinnamon the next time I make them. These are a really good muffin alternative. I like that they actually came out looking like a muffin. I've very pleased.
This was my first crack at some paleo baking. I used the suggestion of adding blueberries and was happy that I did! Next time I'll probably add some cinnamon and a little vanilla. These turned out great! And I did have to bake them for 20 minutes. Does anyone know how they freeze? I have a lot of them to eat for just me.
My girl friend is allergic to coconut, what do you suggest as a substitute?
Also I notice coconut milk and shredded coconut used a lot in these recipes, what is the reason? Is it mainly to add texture? in general what could be a coconut milk substitute?
The name of this recipe is 'Almond Muffins with Bacon.' There's no bacon!
Does anyone have recommendations on the number of servings this makes? Seems like a lot for two people. Even for two meals.
Neely thanks very much for the information and suggestion on the coconut substitute. I'll give it a try and post my results.
@Neely: I tried your suggestion. I substituted the shredded coconut with Almond flour/meal and the coconut milk with Almond milk (I used a bit less because the Almond milk was less think in consistency than the coconut milk). I also had to substitute the egg (I forgot to mention that my girlfriend has an egg and dairy allergy). I used quarter cup unsweetened apple puree/sauce for one whole egg.
When all was done the Almond Muffins came out quite well (the GF liked it).
Just a warning- This does not serve 2, or 4, BUT 12! Each muffin contains 317 calories. Too bad we ate three the first morning. Breakfast comprised 50% of our daily calories :(
i am going to try using flax meal as part substitute for the shredded coconut. i certainly wouldn't do 2 c though…maybe 1 c. and then the almond flour/meal as suggested above. flax with the blueberries would be delicious. : )
How much coconut flour would you use as a substitute for shredded coconut. I'm not sure if it's the same thing. Thanks
I made these last night and they turned out ok. Wish they were a little sweeter! I used the vanilla and agave and they still turned out a little bland. could BARELY taste the coconut for some reason?? Maybe I only used one cup and didnt realize………
These muffins are so filling! I was doubtful because of the size, but I had one this morning and stayed satisfied until lunch. I added a ripe banana for a little more flavor.
These are BLAND and DRY! I even added some agave and vanilla. So I made another batch, cut the coconut in half and added a cup of packed shredded carrot, pecans instead of almonds, 3 tsp of cinnamon, 2 generous squirts of agave, vanilla and about 1/4 tsp sea salt. MUCH BETTER!
I found the original recipe to be very tasteless and extremly dry. I put the almonds and cococnut into a processor, and also added a grated apple (almost like applesauce) and a cup of blueberries…. Tastes much better. To each their own, I suppose.
This recipe was quick and easy, and the kids loved helping. We used vanilla and fresh blueberries in ours. The final product does turn out muffinlike, but very dense and heavy–I definitely did not want to eat bacon with mine (per the menu)–too rich. The flavor of the muffins is OK but they are not sweet–my little girl did drizzle some local honey on top of hers.
Maybe will try adding applesauce next time, as the poster above suggests…
I would make these again and freeze them just to have something to grab and go when you need a rib-sticking breakfast but don't have time to cook, or to pack for travel.
New to all of this and trying new things. I do have a quick question… Is almond butter like peanut butter, or is it like regular butter???? I know, seems stupid to ask, but for a newbe, who has never heard of either, its important :)
Just had a question I am new to paleo and when making these muffins and cookies. Is there a limit on how many we should be eating? Also I was wondering is everything in these recipes all paleo? I get confused sometimes with the ingredients in here thinking there not paleo.
Is it possible to use the almond flour instead of the almond butter. Have real difficulty to to find almond butter in South Africa
Hi, my family's first day, so checking out recipes for the children, wondering where would I find almond butter?
Also is it ok to take the children3 &4 off all dairy?
Thank you for this delicious recipe – I've made them several times and they are GREAT!
My most recent additions have been including a little extra coconut milk, a bit of cinnamon & nutmeg, and three blueberries to each muffin!
Can i substitute the almond butter for peanut butter?
What is coconut sap, and does the market sell it.
Tried these muffins, not to bad but a lot of calorie s for what you get, who eats only one little muffin.??
Is there an alternative to almound butter ?
Hello, is it supposed to be one cup of almond flour as opposed to 1 cup of almonds? Is the recipe wrong? Thank you

One of the things that I have seen written on these boards and happen to agree with is that one of the key things that can make or break a Fett costume is getting the scale of all the pieces and parts right. 1:1 parts would look just as silly on someone 6'7" as they would someone 5' tall. Both of those instances require armor that is far outside of the range in which 1:1 replica armor will look good.
Now, I have seen some pretty fantastic hand-made armor on here, so I'm not discounting that in any way. However, people like FettPride, Redkraytdragon, and BobaMaker (not trying to slight any other armorers, they just come to mind first) have put a good deal of time and effort into making some of the most accurate armor that we have ever seen. But in that pursuit of accuracy it is, by necessity, 1:1 armor.
I have read many various and sometimes conflicting "facts" and theories about the height of Boba Fett, the height of Jeremy Bulloch, how much he may have shrunk since Empire was shot and so on and so forth. For Mr. Bulloch I think I've seen everything from 5'9" to 6'1"
With that in mind, I am wondering what people think about the height range wherein purchased 1:1 armor will look good. If you can provide full photos in said armor with heights/weights would be awesome, too.

Here are a few more photos. We will start taking in kits for builds shortly, I will post pricing on my site this weekend.
Here is our first RPD on a DSA Receiver, with a hand select kit from MGS. it went together pretty easily, there are only a few minor issues with the receivers. All the parts fit properly and most importantly they got the feed ramp right. We also made some improvements on the FCG parts and corrected all the dimentions so the triggers are really nice. I took it out last sunday and ran about 150 rounds through it with no problems. I stripped it down today and refinished all the metal. The photos do not do it justice, it is a real show piece, I had planned on selling it, but it is a keeper!!
Hello Pirate
Are the DSA receivers same as the Wiselite's? barrel mounting and headspacing easy? Thanks for pictures, yes the RPD looks like it's a "keeper" IRONMULE
It seems that due to too much stuff on my plate, I need to send you my remaining RPD for completion on your new DSA receiver. After viewing these picts, you are the way to go after the creek run next month!

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The Canisius baseball team took to the field at Boshamer Stadium on the campus of North Carolina Thursday afternoon in preparation for the Golden Griffins' NCAA Regional game against the top-seeded Tar Heels. Canisius, the 2013 MAAC Champions, will meet No. 1 North Carolina Friday, May 31, at 6:05 p.m.
Per NCAA rules, each of the four teams in the North Carolina Regional were given 75 minutes of practice time at Boshamer Stadium, which is hosting a regional event for the seventh time in the last eight years.
The Griffs are making their first appearance in the NCAA Tournament after posting a 42-15 overall record and winning the MAAC's automatic berth by going 3-0 in the conference tournament in Trenton, N.J., last weekend. The 42 wins are the most for any No. 4 seed in this year's tournament and it also set a new record for single-season wins by a MAAC school.
Carolina is the nation's top seed and the Tar Heels enter the national postseason tournament with a 52-8 overall record. The 2013 ACC champions, North Carolina has piled up 42 wins in the last eight postseasons, which is tied for South Carolina for the most in the nation during that time period. UNC starts Friday's action with an all-time record of 89-60 in NCAA Tournament action and the team boasts a 26-5 mark as a host school.
The first game of the North Carolina Regional is set to begin on Friday at 1 p.m., when No. 2 seed Florida Atlantic takes on No. 3 seed Towson. Florida Atlantic went 39-20 during the regular season and won the Sun Belt title to earn its berth into the event, while Towson posted an overall record of 29-28. The Tigers won the Colonial Athletic Association crown last weekend by defeating William & Mary 5-2 in the CAA title game.
The Canisius-North Carolina game will be broadcast live on ESPN3, with Jones Angell and John Manuel on the call. The audio broadcast will be provided through GoGriffs.com and the Golden Griffin Broadcast Network with Matt Reitnour and former Canisius pitcher Tim Seil providing commentary.

Random aggression
I was going to post a new thread but think it fits here. I haven't pin pointed a certain type of person but my pup has recently started being aggressive and barking at people. I have taken great lengths to get him out and socialize him and he has done very well but just started arcing very aggressive and barking when we go on walks and out to Petco or something. Just tonight he almost bit a man who reached out to pet him. This is very concerning bc I've never seen this side yet and he is only 4 months. Just trying to figure out what is the cause and the correction. I have never used negative teaching, only positive reinforcement and he has never been hit. He does know his place with me but I don't understand this behavior. Any help would be great thanks.
Going through the same thing but with men who have long hair only. It started at around 6 months and he's 9 months now and still battling with it. It's very random and I don't know how to fix it because I don't know any men with long hair either.
Puppy Suddenly Barking at Random Men
Hi, I have a 7 month male GSD. Overall he is well behaved e.g. we can take him out anywhere and he is under control, doesn't bark at other dogs or people. We have taken him to some crowded situations and he has behaved well. We also have been going to training weekly and generally have tried to ensure that we expose him to other dogs and people. In the last two weeks he has suddenly started barking randomly at some men (not all) who have come over to want to pet him or come close to him. He is fine with women, small children and dogs. Any thoughts on why this behaviour may have started?
At first I thought he was maybe being protective/defensive - since the first time it happened I was alone and a tall man at the pet store approached. However, we have repeated the scenario with my husband and the dog still reacts to the same man. We worked on the situation a little to the point where the dog no longer barks but if the man tries to pet him, he starts barking again. He will take a treat from the man's hand though and our GSD is not super food driven.
Is this part of the second fear stage that I have read about? It'd be great to hear from any other GSD owners who may have gone through or are going through something similar.

'Much has been made of the big changes coming in the off-season for the Penguins, especially the possible trade of Jaromir Jagr. The first change to be made, however, should be behind the bench. The grand experiment of bringing in a European coach is a flop. Even if the Pens somehow find a way to right their sinking ship and win this series, a new captain should be on the bridge next season.'

What distinguishes WKU Theatre & Dance?
We love to work!
Each year we produce five MainStage shows, including at least one or two plays, two musicals or a musical and an opera, and two major dance concerts. Other performance and design opportunities include our children's series, student-directed studio series, student-choreographed dance concerts, and every other year, a New Works Festival. In a typical year we'll produce 20 to 30 different shows and around 75 individual performances. And that's not even counting the shows by Happy Gas, our local improv troupe!
We love to create!
Of course we study the classics and produce well-known favorites, but we also create our very own pieces. Today, performance artists must know how to craft their own opportunities, and students learn this crucial skill on our stages every day. Our students are the writers, devisers, choreographers, directors, designers, performers, stage managers, dramaturgs, and technical directors for completely original works. Through unleashed imagination at every stage of the creative process, we are a part of the living, evolving worlds of contemporary theatre and dance.

One of the most useful of spices for both sweet and savoury…
For the frosting
- 175g icing sugar
- 1½-2 tbsp orange juice
Preheat the oven to 180C/Gas 4/fan 160C. Oil and line the base and sides of an 18cm square cake tin with baking parchment. The easiest way to do this is to cut two long strips the width of the tin and put each strip crossways, covering the base and sides of the tin, with a double layer in the base.
Tip the sugar into a large mixing bowl, pour in the oil and add the eggs. Lightly mix with a wooden spoon. Stir in the grated carrots, raisins and orange rind.
Mix the flour, bicarbonate of soda and spices, then sift into the bowl. Lightly mix all the ingredients – when everything is evenly amalgamated stop mixing. The mixture will be fairly soft and almost runny.
Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 40- 45 minutes, until it feels firm and springy when you press it in the centre. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then turn it out, peel off the paper and cool on a wire rack. (You can freeze the cake at this point.)
Beat together the frosting ingredients in a small bowl until smooth – you want the icing about as runny as single cream. Set the cake on a serving plate and boldly drizzle the icing back and forth in diagonal lines over the top, letting it drip down the sides.

Aaron Carter Brawls With NKOTB Fans!? : In news that pains us to report, former teen singer Aaron Carter is apparently is not well-liked by some people in Boston, specifically hardcore fans of the New Kids on the Block. The singer (who posted a photo of his bruised face on Twitter and Instagram) told TMZ he was jumped by a group of fans, who are more partial to late '80s power ballads and bubble gum pop rather than is early 2000s era jams. He recounted the Beantown beat down to TMZ, saying he was approached by three guys who had jumped out of a gold Chevy Malibu and yelled, "I heard you're doing a show here tomorrow. This is the town of the New Kids." But Aaron did not back down to these seriously devout NKOTB male fans. "I think my knuckles might be broken, but that's what they get. People think I'm a pretty little white boy, but no way. I think I won. I'm still standing," he said, explaining that he wasn't filing a police report because it was "girlie." There are so many things to say, but we'll let Aaron's non-"girlie" comments do all the talking.
