(ABOVE) This white Ann Taylor pencil skirt is a favorite. It's such a clean, simple style. I like how it contrasts with the soft, oversized Cabi peasant top and Talbots yellow pebbled-leather bag.
For YouTube Video of My Outfit Scroll to Bottom of Page
I've had this sheer floral peasant top for about five years. It's quite oversized, which makes it cool and comfortable for summer, but it can be a bit overwhelming on me if I don't pair it with something much slimmer on the bottom.
Enter the white pencil skirt. It's such a terrific staple, because it goes with so many tops of varying proportions. I've had this one from Ann Taylor for several years, and it was just what my floral top needed to give it some polish.
Luckily, both are classics, so if you like the look there are plenty of similar options this spring for you to choose from. ~Janis Lyn Johnson

text: So I've been sick the past to days, woke up after a long nap today (12/16/2015) and felt like dong some work on an old(er) project of mine. Here's some pics if you're interested @Efcluke94 I can forward a download to you. Still going to update it over time, its still very much a wip. The build style is overwhelmingly detailed and something I've been working on learning the past couple of months. Most of the work was done on a small local server I run on my laptop just for some basic WorldEdit and Voxel. Let me know if you have any questions and I'd be happy to answer them. Message me for some earlier wip shots (still have to find them, folders are very unorganized) or, if you'd like to see it in person, message me and I'll probably invite you to my Realms <3 I'll post more updates as I make more progress on it. (I'm bad taking with pictures, sorry <3)

GREAT BRITAIN are on course to win the most medals of any nation in the Athens Olympic regatta after Simon Hiscocks and Chris Draper were guaranteed at least a bronze in the 49er class yesterday.
The exact colour of their medal will be decided in the 16th and final race of the competition tomorrow but Britain are assured of four medals, with two golds and a silver already in the bag.
In Sydney four years ago, Britain were the most successful sailing nation with three golds and two silvers and could even repeat the feat in Athens if Iain Percy and Steve Mitchell charge through the field in the second half of the Star competition.
And so tight is the competition that the Brits have certainly not ruled out a late charge to glory. "You have 17 boats, 11 people who have won world championships, most of them in the Star class, and medalists in other classes," said Mitchell.
"There are no idiots out there, which is why the results are so wacky. Everybody is together, almost on all the same points."

Ever since August, I have been tracking my step-count for a fitness program we have here at work. I also recently bought a BodyMedia FIT (review coming. I swear. It's half done.) and have also been wearing that pretty much 24/7, since it also supposedly monitors my sleep.
As a result, I've come to understand quite a bit about how different choices I make impact how many calories I burn that day. It's been very interesting.
Anyone who has done a structured weight loss program before has been told such hot tips for losing weight as:
-Park farther from the entrance
-Take walk breaks throughout the day
-Take the stairs instead of the elevator
-Walk over to someone's cube instead of sending them email
-Stand up for meetings
And many of us have the same reaction, I'm sure. Kind of an eyeroll, whatever, reaction. Because those things seem so lame. Plus how many calories can they really burn if you only burn 50 extra by walking an entire mile? Walking around the building three times a day is a lot less than a mile, right?
Okay, maybe that isn't your reaction to this advice, but it's usually been mine. Not that I don't do some of those things anyway. I always park pretty far away ... because I don't want my car full of car door dings. I pretty much always take the stairs too. Elevators take too long when you are only going up one or two flights and, besides, I think of people who do that as either having medical problems or being lazy and I don't want to be in either category even if only in my own mind.
But I never really thought it made much difference. Apparently, I was wrong. What happened to change my mind is this:
First, I got busy at work and started calling into meetings that were across the street instead of walking over to them. It was only 1-2 meetings a week, but I did see that my step count was enough lower on days I didn't exercise that I risked not making the magic 7,000 steps cutoff of our pedometer program. (If you can make over 7000, you get 40 extra point and points translate into money so I want those points!)
Then, my work buddy quit for a new job. We used to go on walks all the time to clear our heads when work got too frustrating. (Which was often at certain times of the year.) He also liked to eat lunch at the cafeteria on the far side of the campus and, even though I bring my lunch most days, I would go with him and heat it up there. Lunch alone was good for about 1500 extra steps a day.
I was kind of aware that I wasn't quite as active because of the lower step counts, but I didn't realize how it was translating into calories until I got the FIT. When I first go it, Work Buddy was still here. I found out that I was burning 100-200 calories more a day than I thought I was most days. Once Work Buddy left, BOOM. Those calories were pretty much gone. Some of them had been missing since I stopped walking to most of my meetings, but they all went up in smoke once the 3-4x a week lunch walks and the 1-3x a week campus walks were gone.
Who would have thought that one simple change in our environment -- one I had no control over -- could have such a dramatic impact on calories out? If I wasn't wearing the FIT, I would have continued to eat as always and I would have started gaining 1-2 pounds a month! I also would have been completely mystified as to why. Because, in my mind, nothing had really changed. Not enough to count, anyway.
On the other hand, Sunday I went for a really long bike ride - 47.11 miles - and burned so many calories that it made all the little stuff completely irrelevant. When you burn almost 2000 calories in one ride, losing 100-200 a day is nothing. In fact, with that one ride, my activity level for the week doubled.
My conclusions based on my experiences?
-If you do the big things, the little things take care of themselves
-If you can't do the big things, the little things really can add up if you do enough of them.
No, walking to one meeting a week isn't going to make a difference. Walking to all of them, plus to lunch most days, plus taking walk breaks at least once a day? Adds up. Significantly.

Wealth preservation is a very key concept to High Net-worth Individuals. This is the concept of protecting and preserving your asset from frivolous, illogical, ill-motivated, more often than not, devastating catastrophic claims on your wealth in a way that will affect your current and future lifestyle.
One certainty about investment or life generally is the uncertainty of it. Risks abound everywhere, but to refuse to take these risks is to stop growing. Risk management is actively directed towards assessing, monitoring and mitigating (to an acceptable level) the effect of unexpected happenings.
In our operations, our first call is to assess the level of your tolerance for risk. Then, we structure your investment portfolio using strategies that include transfer of risk to another party, avoiding the risk, reduction of negative impact of risk, and acceptance of some or all of the consequences of certain risk.

"Did you hear that Legolas cut his hair?" or is it "Did you hear that Legolas cut his hair"? Punctuation and quotation marks can be confusing. Does the punctuation go inside or outside the quotation marks? The answer is yes, no, and maybe. Confused? Yeah, I was, too. 🙂 Hopefully this will help clear up some of the confusion:
Periods and commas go inside the quotation marks.
"Yes, and I think it looks terrible," said Aragorn.
In a quote, all the commas and periods are inside the quotation marks.
My three favorite TNG episodes are "Power Play," "I, Borg," and "The Nth Degree."
Even with quoted materials inside of a sentence, all the periods and commas must be inside the quotation marks, even the period at the end of the sentence.
Watson told Mrs. Hudson, "Holmes said, 'I will take dinner the day after tomorrow at 7:30.'"
You punctuate a quote inside a quote the same way you'd punctuate a normal quote, with all punctuation marks inside all the quotation marks.
Question marks are sometimes inside of quotation marks.
He asked, "Did you hear that Legolas cut his hair?"
In this sentence, the question mark is inside the quotation marks because the question is also the quote.
Is your favorite quote from The Desolation of Smaug trailer "It is our fight"?
In this example, if the question isn't the quote, but includes a quote, then the question mark goes outside the quotation marks. In other words since the quote isn't a question, then the question mark is outside the quote.
Did Haldir ask, "Is Legolas okay after loosing his lovely blonde hair?"
Now, if you have a question and a quote all in one, like the example above, no extra question mark is needed, only the one at the end and inside of Haldir's quoted question.
Sometimes you can throw quotation marks out the window.
Sick of quotation marks now? So am I. Luckily, there are a few instances where you don't need quotation marks at all.
Captain Picard told Worf to fire when ready.
In this case, since it isn't a direct quote from Captain Picard, you wouldn't need to add quotation marks.
Also, if the material you're quoting is over three lines long, then you can leave off the quotation marks. Of course, then you'll need to use a colon…but that's another post. 🙂
Wow! There are a lot of guidelines for using these little marks. Writing this post has clarified the rules for me and made me conscious of some rules I was guilty of breaking. I hope this post, although not exhaustive, has been helpful. And let me dispel any rumors that I might have inadvertently started with my examples above. As far as I know, Legolas has not cut his hair.
Here are two websites that were really helpful to me while writing this post:

Sylvester "Sly" Stallone brought boxer Rocky Balboa out of retirement in 2006, and shocked everyone by making a movie that was better than expected / feared. He'll try to do it again this Friday as his other iconic character, Vietnam vet John J. Rambo, storms back onto the big screen in the simply titled Rambo.
With the renewed heat generated by these projects, Sly has talkedrecently about his plans to remake 1974's Death Wish. Upon further consideration, I think it's a mistake for him to remake a movie featuring another actor's iconic character when he has so many more characters of his own that need to be sequel-ized.
Saying no to continuations of his characters in Rhinestone, Cobra, Over the Top, and Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot was easy. But here are my picks for seven other characters Sly Stallone can sequel-ize, along with suggested storylines. They're yours for the asking, Sly: after all, you've already given me so much!
1. Stanley Rosiello (The Lord's of Flatbush)
In the pre-Rocky days, TV star Henry Winkler was the big draw in a supporting role, but Sly stole the show from everyone, including ostensible lead, Perry King. Sly played a greaser who got his girlfriend pregnant and is forced into marriage. His change from confident thug to fumbling husband was touching. I'd love to see what's happened to Stanley. Flashbacks could fill in the decades as Stanley reminisces about his life when he hears about the death of a former fellow gang member. Winkler could show up for one of his patented extended cameos.

The A-Z of Ozu
A bluffers' guide to the films of Yasujiro Ozu
C is for...
Ozu waited until 1958's 'Equinox Flower' to make his first colour film. He took to the new form with typical brio and gave his rigorous compositions a lightly expressionist dimension. Look out for splashes of red (kettles, dresses, marks on buildings) or in 1959's 'Floating Weeds' for a bar whose colours reflect a slice of watermelon.

The only thing you're posting about is your freakin' gardens!
Nothing more profound than worms, compost, seedlings, and the garden - yikes!
Garden deviations will be forth coming (swear) but...in the meantime: check this out!
Bell Peppers!
Jalapenos: (got to pick two today!)
Gypsy Peppers: (have never had 'em but they came highly recommended [not hot])
Grande Chili Peppers:
Tabasco Peppers: (finally have flowers! they're the hottest I'm growing...have been waiting for those flowers for weeks now!)
I have beans!
Zucchini: (apparently these will be out of hand [volume] soon...got to pick my first one [ever!] tonight!)
'Maters: (just a few pics...)
Cuccumbers: (ok flowers: do something!)
AND: (drumroll please... the 'mound that mocks me' might just be growing [after the dump of 25 seeds...])
Now - these last pics are just funny. These are not mine: in another plot at the community garden. This gardener certainly has high hopes for those little 'mater plants: don't you think? Funny...

Zachary Bartik doesn't remember exactly why he chose
Bartik was 14 or so years old and was the new kid at school in Cataasauqua, Penn., about an hour north of Philadelphia near Allentown. He had recently moved there from Baltimore, where he had become a huge Ravens fan.
Being the new kid is tough, and Bartik had it especially rough. One day as he was walking home from school, kids called him names and threw rocks at him.
"I was the kind of kid that would help anybody or do anything for people," Bartik said. "They just didn't like me because I was the new kid."
One night, Bartik went on Facebook and sent a message to Jefferson, who was still playing at the University of Oklahoma at the time. Bartik said he had seen Jefferson play on TV.
"I didn't think he was going to respond," Bartick said. "He messaged the kids and shut down the problem immediately."
Now, years later, Bartick still has the screengrabs and still very much remembers Jefferson's help.
"It was incredible," Bartick said. "I'm still amazed to this day. Something like that, you don't see a lot of that in today's world. He's an amazing player and an amazing dude, period."
Bartik graduated high school and works at a nearby Walmart. And now that Jefferson is in purple andye black, he's an even bigger Ravens fan.
"When they signed him, I was like, 'Yessss! Yessss!'" he said. "I'll be honest, I was jumping up for joy."

Software Monetization Featured Article
Business-to-Business Software Monetization Goes Mobile
In the modern business-to-business world, software licensing entails more than merely securing revenue by enforcing service agreements. The right software monetization strategy acts as a business enabler, creating significant increases in revenue by enabling new packaging and distribution models. As mobile software applications have continued to increase in popularity, companies have tried to figure out whether to handle mobile and traditional software separately from a licensing perspective or to integrate them.
One trend that is pushing many toward the convergence of mobile and traditional applications is that applications are getting smarter. Though the mobile app world first took off with a prevalence of 99-cent widget apps, meant to provide basic functionality on mobile phones, recently there has been a trend toward "smarter" apps. More and more, mobile apps are becoming more complex and feature rich, getting more expensive and replacing more traditional B2B software.
Another factor that is contributing to the convergence of these two worlds is the restrictions that app stores place on their software. Companies that are accustomed to selling more traditional B2B applications may balk at the terms and conditions set down by app stores. These restrictions can scare away many B2B software vendors, causing them to swear off app stores for good.
Many companies are deploying "mixed mode" software, with conventional and mobile applications coming together. For example, vendors may offer a mobile version of existing software as an alternative to a traditional version, and these companies want the software licensing solutions for both versions to have as much commonality as possible.
For these reasons, many licensing enforcement strategies are starting to cross the boundary between traditional and mobile worlds. Vendors want to have control over all aspects of mobile B2B application licensing in a fashion similar to what they have been doing for traditional software. They want to control everything from usage terms (e.g., feature-based, time-limited) to operational aspects (e.g., activation and back-end integration) and they want the controls to be platform agnostic.
From the point of view of the end user, the prevalence of mobile devices like tablets within the organization can cause a number of headaches, especially if these devices have unique licensing needs. Their IT staffs are looking to minimize the number of licensing agreements they have, and having separate licenses for mobile and traditional software from the same vendor create havoc for them.
One company that has experience in both the conventional and mobile software licensing spaces is SafeNet (News - Alert). It offers a variety of solutions for on-premise and SaaS licensing needs, offering award-winning solution suites backed by decades of experience.

Oh.....I need to find what I have...maybe I just thought that since the ipod package is for 4 hours then it was a four hour reception.........hmp- I don't want to pay for the extra hour-- I had planned all along for 6-10- 3 hours is too short! Maybe I can get my WC to extend it for free. Now I need to go back to my documents and see how much everything costs to extend it for an hour so I can budget for that just in case...booo, what a crummy day, lol.

Here's one for stock phrases: "Two hits; I hit you, you hit the ground!" This is one I've heard a few times. One straight example is Donny Donowicz in Inglourious Basterds. Also, two variations: Ken Titus to his girlfriend's gay ex: "There's gonna be three hits; me hitting you, you hitting the floor, then you hitting on the ambulance driver." And in The Devil's Rejects: "Two hits; I hit you, your dick hits the dirt!"
Hello, Unknown Troper. You'll need to get known to lend a hand here.
Community Feedback Replies: 3
Used fairly famously in The Breakfast Club, which the Titus example might be a Shout Out to. Andrew threatens Bender: "Two hits: me hitting you, you hitting the floor." Used in The Office episode "The Fight," again as a Shout Out to The Breakfast Club (but Michael gets the quote wrong. ("Two punches: me punching you, you hitting the floor.")
Anyone else?


text: AVR506: Migration from ATmega169 to ATmega169P Features • • • • • General Porting Considerations Register and bit names Memory Clock sources IO pins 8-bit Microcontrollers Application Note 1 Introduction This application note summarizes the relevant differences when migrating from ATmega169 to ATmega169P. For detailed information on the devices please see the respective datasheets. The ATmega169P is designed to be pin and functionality compatible with ATmega169, but because of improvements mentioned in this application note there may be a need for minor modifications in the application when migrating from ATmega169 to ATmega169P. Rev. 8028C-AVR-02/07 2 General Porting Considerations To make the porting process as easy as possible, we recommend to always refer to registers and bit positions using their defined names, as absolute addresses and values may change from device to device. When porting a design it is then often just necessary to include the correct definition file. Some examples are shown below. PORTE |= (1<<PORTE5); DDR &= ~(1<<PORTE5); // Set pin 5 on port E high // Set pin 5 on port E as input // Configure USI USICR = (1<<USISIE)|(0<<USIOIE)|(1<<USIWM1)|(0<<USIWM0)| (1<<USICS1)|(0<<USICS0)|(0<<USICLK)|(0<<USITC); To avoid conflicts with added features and register functionality, never access registers that are marked as reserved. Reserved bits should always be written to zero if accessed. This ensures forward compatibility, and added features will stay in their default states when unused. 3 Register and bit names Between ATmega169 and ATmega169P some register bits has been added, but none of the existing bits has been removed, nor moved to different locations. In ATmega169 the USART module is named USART, while in ATmega169P it is called USART0. This has consequences for all USART register and bit names, and depending on the compiler used this might have consequences when porting the code. Table 3-1 shows the register names for ATmega169. Table 3-1.

Wait times when programming EEPROM Device Typical programming time ATmega169 8.5 ms ATmega169P 3.3 ms 5 Clock sources The clock sources for ATmega169P have different characteristics from ATmega169 and might have to be taken into account. The differences are described in the following subsections. 5.1 Internal RC oscillator The internal RC oscillator in ATmega169P is based on a different design than the ATmega169. The OSCCAL register is 8-bit instead of 7-bit, where the high bit selects one of two overlapping frequency ranges. Refer to the datasheets for information on calibration of the oscillators. 5.2 Low-frequency Crystal / Timer/Counter Oscillator The low frequency / Timer/counter crystal oscillator of the ATmega169P is optimized for very low power consumption and thus the crystal driver strength is reduced compared to the ATmega169. This means that when selecting a crystal, its load capacitance and Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) must be taken into consideration. Both values are specified by the crystal vendor. Table 5-1 shows the ESR recommendations for ATmega169P. The internal capacitance of ATmega169P low-frequency oscillator is typically 6pF, but the tracks to the crystal will add some additional capacitance. 3 8028C-AVR-02/07 Table 5-1. ESR and load capacitance recommendation for 32.768 kHz crystals. Note: Crystal CL [pF] Max ESR1 [kΩ] 6.5 60 9 35 1. The values stated are for an oscillator allowance safety margin of 5. Since the oscillator's transconductance is temperature compensated one can use a safety margin of 4, thus giving a max ESR of 75 and 45 kΩ respectively. For examples of crystals that comply with the requirements see Appendix A. The startup times are also increased as shown in Table 5-2. Table 5-2. Startup times with 32.768 kHz crystals. Crystal CL [pF] Startup time2 [ms] ATmega169 Startup time2 [ms] Atmega169P 6.5 - 800 9 300 1200 12.5 400 - Note: 2. Crystals usually need ~3000ms before they are completely stable with any oscillator design. The time stated is before the crystal is running with a sufficient amplitude and frequency stability. 6 IO pins ATmega169P have an option to disable the external reset feature. The /RESET pin then becomes an input only IO pin. The reset disable feature is not available on ATmega169. 7 Appendix A Table 7-1 is a selection of crystals that ATmega169P.

The objective of this event was to learn how to get Horizon 2020 funds through experts in Colombian universities which have participated in or are currently carrying out projects resulted from successful proposals. That is the case of the REMEB project, aiming to develop an eco-friendly ceramic membrane bioreactor for wastewater reuse, where Universidad Antonio Nariño is a partner. Javier Rincón, Dr Sci. Q. at the Colombian University participated in the programme with a presentation of the project and provided attendees with useful guidelines on how to look for potential partners, how to face the proposal formulation and execute the project once it has been approved by the European Commission. REMEB (Recycled Membrane Bioreactor) is a Research and Development project funded by the European Commission under grant agreement No. 641998, in the framework of the call H2020-WATER-2014. It is a project for first market application developments. With a total budget of 2,361,622.50 Euros, it has a duration of three years, starting in September 2015 and concluding in August 2018. Horizon 2020 of the European Union is a funding programme for research and innovation of € 80 billion for the period 2014-2020. It offers funding opportunities for research and collaborative innovation projects carried out by consortia of organizations working together in specific research and innovation areas. Colombia is part of the Third Countries in the category Automatically eligible non-EU applicants, that is, automatically eligible to access to the Horizon 2020 plan.

WACO, Texas – Twenty-fifth ranked Oklahoma's run at a Big 12 Championship came to an end at the hands of ninth-ranked Texas A&M Sunday as the Aggies claimed a, 4-0, victory in the finals of the 2011 Big 12 Championships at the Baylor Tennis Center.
"It was a tough way to go but that's how it goes sometimes," John Roddick said. "I thought we played pretty well in singles, but A&M has a good team and I think they're realistically the best team in the Big 12 even though they lost here (at Baylor during the regular season)."
Oklahoma (16-7, 5-4 Big 12), the No. 5 seed, earned a spot in the finals for the first time in program history after defeating fourth seed Texas Tech, 4-0, in the quarterfinals and the top seed Baylor, 4-3, in the semifinals. The Sooners became the lowest seed ever to advance to the Big 12 Championship final.
"For our program it's a big step, because we've never been to the finals of the tournament," Roddick exclaimed. "All these new experiences for our guys are going to pay off. We have a really young team, probably the youngest team in the country, so playing these matches is only going to help them. Just being there and having that experience is going to be crucial going forward."
The Sooners dropped the doubles point for the first time in Big 12 tournament action after Texas A&M earned wins at the No. 1 and 3 positions.
At the No. 1 spot, A&M's fourth-ranked Austin Krajicek and Jeff Dadamo downed the Sooners' No. 70-ranked tandem comprised of Ionut Beleleu and Tsvetan Mihov, 8-2.
Colin Hoover and Alberto Bautista clinched the point for the Aggies after the duo defeated Oklahoma's Lawrence Formentera and Laurentiu Gavrila, 8-6.
The Aggies continued their momentum into singles action by winning three straight after taking the doubles point. A&M claimed wins at the No. 2, 5, and 4 spots to earn the title.
A&M's Dadamo gave the Aggies a 2-0 lead after the 36th-ranked singles player defeated OU's 48th-ranked Costin Paval, 6-3, 6-4, at the No. 2 singles spot.
Oklahoma's Formentera, the Big 12 regular season champion at No. 5 singles, was the next to fall as he lost in straight sets to A&M's Hoover, 7-5, 6-2.
The final match came at the No. 4 position where the Aggies' Alexis Klegou, ranked No. 89, defeated OU's Peerakit Siributwong, 6-4, 7-6(2).
The Sooners will turn their attention towards the NCAA Division I Tennis Championships Selection Show, which will air on www.NCAA.com and is scheduled to begin at 4:30 on Tuesday, May 3.

The book Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer was not as I thought it would be. After listening to everyone's opinion of the book (and each opinion was dripping with high praise) my expectation was set high from the get-go. However, the more the story continued, the more disappointed I became.
Yes the fear felt by Miranda and her family was real, but none of it ever actually happened to Miranda. The post-apocalyptic action was nothing to be admired. A story of survival should have a little heat added on to make the tension to make it THAT much more intense. It's that intense feeling that the author creates that keeps the reader turning pages; Miranda just hearing the news about what was going on in the world- the volcanoes, the tsunamis- and the worst that her neck of the woods got was ash-covered ground and some cold doesn't seem all that bad. Sure, the flu can be pretty scary. Yet with the direction that the novel was taking, you could almost predict that Miranda and her family would pull through. While a little predictability lingers in just about every story plot out there, this story line had a little more than was necessary. Foreshadowing is a great literary device to use, but can be a little discouraging when over used...
Speaking of literary devices, diction is also important. The author's diction in this novel was to be that of an adolescent girl. Yet not every adolescent girl these days talks the same that Miranda does. The way that Miranda descibes things didn't help make the story more interesting. (And the fact that she whined about her life sucking before the asteroid hit the moon didn't make me want to read any further either...) Usually teenage girls try and use as much detail as possible, and they even try using the compare-and-contrast method to try and get listeners to relate to what is being explained. Miranda does little of this, and not to mention that her logic on things isn't any sort of breakthrough. Sure, some girls see things simply, but usually the sterotype that "females pay more attention to detail" rings true; especially when they're decribing some great happening.
Also, the whole compensation with humor thing... it's not for Miranda or any of the other characters for that matter. The way I see it, if a character is so funny that it makes people laugh out loud, you make them compensate with humor to add more comic relief. However, if a character is dishing out joke after cheesy joke, then there is a bit of a problem. The jokes in the novel (for lack of a better description) are like a can of Easy Cheese; the author sort of just took the can and sprayed it all throughout the novel, and you look at it and know that what was sprayed was supposed to be an attempt at humor, however you don't acknowledge that the joke was funny. Just like how you're aware that Easy Cheese is supposed to be cheese, but you know that it really isn't.
For those people who liked the novel, I can see why; the plot is fairly original, the main character is a young adult, and the genre is dystopian/apocalyptic. These, in an honest opinion, are the makings of great story. However where the story falls short was how the story was actaully delivered. In our fast-paced American society, the sci-fi's of this nature are full of action, comedic one-liners, and a love triangle. The story, compared to these standards, made the halfway mark. Not every plot has to be the same to keep audiences going, just a similar amount of action and possibly a greater amount of fear.
In short, when considering a book to read, Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer shouldn't be a first option. If a reader is looking for a fast-paced survival story, they could find this novel to be a little dry. Also, if a reader can't stand cheesy one-line jokes, they could find themselves rolling their eyes more than a few times.

Scheduling Design and Verification for Open Soft Real-time SystemsRobert Glaubius, Terry Tidwell, William D. Smart, and Christopher D. Gill.
In "Proceedings of the 2008 Real-Time Systems Symposium (RTSS 2008)", pages 505-514, 2008.
However, several important refinements to the preliminary techniques developed in that work are needed to make the approach applicable in practice. This paper makes three main contributions to the state of the art in scheduling open soft real-time systems: (1) it defines a novel representation of the scheduling state space that is both more compact and more expressive than the model defined in our previous work; (2) it exploits regular structure of that representation to allow efficient verification of properties involving both discrete and continuous system state variables under specific scheduling policies; and (3) it removes the unnecessary use of a time horizon in our previous approach, thus allowing the more precise specification and enforcement of a wider range of scheduling policies for open soft real-time systems.

Court of Appeals of Indiana
April 8, 2015
Steven Matthies, Appellant-Defendant,v.The First Presbyterian Church of Greensburg Indiana, INC., Appellee-Plaintiff
Appeal from the Decatur Circuit Court. The Honorable Timothy B. Day, Judge. Cause No. 16C01-1302-PL-58.
ATTORNEY FOR APPELLANT: Andrew G. Jones, Law Office of Andrew G. Jones, Indianapolis, Indiana.
ATTORNEY FOR APPELLEE: Judy L. Woods, Benesch Friedlander Coplan & Aronoff LLP, Indianapolis, Indiana.
Friedlander, Judge. Kirsch, J., concurs. Crone, J., concurs in part and dissents in part with separate opinion.
Page 1110
Friedlander, Judge.
¶1 Steven Matthies appeals from the grant of summary judgment in favor of The First Presbyterian Church of Greensburg Indiana, Inc. (First Presbyterian).
Page 1111
On appeal, Matthies argues that the trial court erred in granting summary judgment in favor of First Presbyterian.
We affirm.
¶2 The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) is a national religious denomination governed by its Constitution, which provides for a hierarchical or connectional system of governance wherein each lower governing body is answerable to a successive higher governing body. The Presbytery of Whitewater Valley, Inc. (the Presbytery) is the regional governing body responsible for the mission and governance of the Presbyterian Church in central and northeastern Indiana, including all of Decatur County, where First Presbyterian is located.[1] First Presbyterian is the local church that is ruled by its pastor(s) and ruling elders, who make up the Session, the lowest level of governance for the Presbyterian Church. The Session observes and carries out the instructions of the higher governing bodies, including the Presbytery.
¶3 On October 17, 2010, Reverend Steven Matthies was " called" to the office of Designated Pastor for the congregation of First Presbyterian. Appellant's Appendix at 72. On that date, Reverend Matthies entered into a Designated Pastor Contract (Contract) that covered a three-year period beginning on October 18, 2010. The " Terms of Call" set forth in the Contract provided that Reverend Matthies would receive a stated salary, housing, and other benefits, including, as pertinent to this case, five weeks of vacation.[2] Id. at 13.
¶4 In the summer of 2012, the relationship between Reverend Matthies and the First Presbyterian congregation began to deteriorate. First Presbyterian maintained that Reverend Matthies alienated himself from the congregation when he " neglected his pastoral responsibilities" by failing to make himself available for pastoral counseling services, missing scheduled appointments with parishioners, and refusing to keep the Session informed of his whereabouts and activities even after being asked to do so. Id. at 65. First Presbyterian maintains that from June 2012 into July 2012, Reverend Matthies " abandoned" his pastoral duties and was absent from church, without informing the Session or obtaining consent to take vacation time. Id. at 66. First Presbyterian asserts that by August 2012, Reverend Matthies " failed repeatedly to provide pastoral services to [First Presbyterian] without explanation." Id. Reverend Matthies asserts that during the timeframe in question, he utilized two of the five weeks of vacation he was entitled to and ...

DSWD urges tourism industry to be accessible for persons with disabilities
Asia-Pacific, Tourism, November 20 2014
ILOILO CITY, PHILIPPINES: Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD)-6 Regional Director Evelyn Macapobre urged tourism stakeholders to ensure barrier-free tourist destinations for persons with disabilities.
In the Regional Forum on Accessible Tourism held Monday at Hotel Del Rio here, Macapobre said that persons with disabilities should also get what's due them in tourism areas and establishments.
"They deserve to also enjoy nature's beauty. Things like access ramps or elevators for those who are unable to walk and booklets or reading materials that are in Braille for the visually challenged should be available," she said.
She said that it would be interesting to see tourist spot employees who are able to use the sign language for the hearing and speech impaired.
She also said that help desks for persons with disabilities , accessible seats in vehicles, restaurants and other places of interest are things that can make the lives of persons with disabilities easier and more enjoyable.
Likewise, the presence of people who are trained to handle different kinds of persons with disabilities can ease the stress on their end.
The DSWD official called on local government units and the private sector to work together in the implementation of laws for persons with disabilities , which include Republic Act (RA) 7277 or the Magna Carta for Disabled Persons; RA 9442 which is an amendment of RA 7277; and the Batas Pambansa (BP) 344 or the Accessibility Law.
As per data from DSWD-6, there are 87,519 recorded persons with disabilities in Western Visayas, as of December 2010. Of the figure, 42,990 are males while 44,529 are females.
The Regional Forum on Accessible Tourism was spearheaded by the Department of Tourism (DOT) Office of Tourism Standards and Regulations, DOT Central Office, DOT-6 and in partnership with the National Council on Disability Affairs.

New Aluminum-Ice Rocket Propellent Tested
November 30th, 2009 11:06 Leave a comment Go to comments
eldavojohn writes "With the problem of moving conventional rocket fuel to the moon and mars on their minds, researchers from Purdue and Penn State successfully tested and demonstrated the use of aluminum-ice (ALICE) as fuel. In a paper from last August they outlined how it would work [PDF] and now they know it does. Space.com also had more information on the paper and how nano-scale aluminum functions as a fuel."

~Solosis didn't get much from BW2. Trick is the only noteworthy addition, and it's not like it'll run choiced sets anytime soon.
~The current Trick Room set is fine, even though it should be emphasized that solosis has trouble setting up TR.
name: Trick Room
move 1: Trick Room
move 2: Psychic
move 3: Hidden Power Fighting
move 4: Thunder / Shadow Ball
item: Life Orb
ability: Magic Guard
nature: Quiet
evs: 236 HP / 240 SpA
ivs: 30 Def / 30 SpA / 30 SpD / 2 Spe
[Other Options]
- Base 105 SpA
- Magic Guard, awesome ability for LO
- Can't be worn down by hazards
- Slow, but has trick room
- Extremely powerful STAB Psychic
- outspeeds everything under tr
- Unfortunately, its pros end there
- Can't setup because nearly no bulk
- Psychic-type is poor offensively and defensively, even if it has good neutral coverage
- Weak to priority
- Overall a decent to good pokémon if you need a powerful attacker to clean late-game
name: Trick Room
move 1: Trick Room
move 2: Psychic
move 3: Hidden Power Fighting
move 4: Thunder / Shadow Ball
item: Life Orb
ability: Magic Guard
nature: Quiet
evs: 236 HP / 240 SpA
ivs: 30 Def / 30 SpA / 30 SpD / 2 Spe
- One of the, if not the most powerful special attacker in LC
- Trick Room allows him to sweep lategame if fake out / sucker punch is eliminated
- Psychic is the STAB move of choice, OHKOing many things and 2HKOing those that don't resist it
- HP fighting KOes these pesky steel-types except Bronzor
- Shadow Ball hits Misdreavus harder
- Thunder allows him to hit a few key threats, such as OHKOing Murkrow/Vullaby after SR/Frillish after SR
- Life Orb maximises its damage output and no recoil thanks to Magic Guard, yay!
- EVs maximise bulk and special attack
- quiet is for minimal speed and SpA, allowing it to nearly always go first in TR
- Good teammates are things that can eliminate krow/priority users: magnemite is good, beating tirtouga before setup/subroost krow/shellder/snover, and can trap some annoying steels that aren't easily KOed by HP fighting
- hazards setters are really nice because they give solosis important OHKOes, such as on Vullaby and Frillish with Thunder
[Other Options]
- A gimmicky but effective CM/acidarmor/recover/Psychic with max physical bulk can be used as a late-game sweeper; it's beaten by misdreavus, though. You can replace Psychic with HP dragon / Flash Cannon if you really want to beat dark-types, but it's way weaker.
- endeavor?
- Hard to beat with residual damage
- Krow/Pawniard are the ultimate counters thanks to sucker punch bypassing trick room and OHKOing solosis through its frail defenses
- Ironically enough, Mienfoo can threaten solosis hard before TR with U-turn and stall down TR turns with Fake out
- Basically anything that can tank an LO psychic can KO it on the next turn
- Munchlax gets a special mention for being the only thing that outslows Solosis in TR and has high special bulk to tank its attacks

Solosis is one odd Pokemon. It's tied with Abra for being the strongest special attacker in the tier, boasting a base 105 Special Attack. Its ability, Magic Guard, prevents residual damage, whether is it from weather, entry hazards, or Life Orb. It has a really low base 20 Speed, which can be used to its advantage with Trick Room. However, the little blob does have some cons: it has abysmal defenses with Life Orb, making it very hard for it to set up Trick Room. It also boasts a terrible defensive typing, being weak to some of the most common attacking types in Ghost, Dark and Bug, and is weak to the most common priority move in the tier: Sucker Punch. Overall, Solosis is a good Pokemon that can prove useful if you provide it the right team support.

[SET] name: Trick Room move 1: Trick Room move 2: Psychic move 3: Hidden Power Fighting move 4: Thunder / Shadow Ball item: Life Orb ability: Magic Guard nature: Quiet evs: 236 HP / 240 SpA ivs: 30 Def / 30 SpA / 30 SpD / 2 Spe

Solosis boasts a very high Special Attack, and it can make good use of its power with a Trick Room set. Solosis can easily take a hit from Timburr, Staryu, or Croagunk while being able to set up Trick Room; it can then use its powerful Life Orb-boosted attacks to clean the opposing team without taking recoil damage thanks to Magic Guard. Psychic is a reliable STAB, allowing Solosis to hit most Pokemon in the tier for a 2HKO, if not outright OHKOing them. Hidden Power Fighting hits most Steel-types for good damage, 2HKOing most of them, along with hitting Scraggy for decent damage. Thunder is the best option for the fourth moveslot, as despite its terrible accuracy, it allows Solosis to hit a few key threats, namely Murkrow, Frillish, and Vullaby, OHKOing them after Stealth Rock damage. Shadow Ball is a good alternative, hitting Misdreavus harder than any other move, but it's not OHKOing it anytime soon.

The EV spread allows Solosis to maximize its bulk and Special Attack; a Quiet nature is used to lower its Speed and increase its Special Attack, allowing it to move before most Pokemon under Trick Room. Solosis needs priority users to be KOed before attempting to sweep; Magnemite is a good partner, eliminating Snover, Murkrow, Shellder, and Tirtouga in a pinch. Magnemite can also trap Steel-types that aren't weak to Hidden Power Fighting, such as Bronzor; it's also really useful because it lures in Pokemon such as Timburr and Croagunk for Solosis to set up against. Porygon is a viable partner too, luring in fighting-types and paralyzing Murkrow while tanking hits from it. Hazard setters, such as Drilbur and Dwebble, are excellent partners for Solosis, as Stealth Rock helps Solosis get a few important OHKOs, including KOs against Frillish and Vullaby.

[Other Options]

Solosis' movepool is quite shallow, but it has a few other options to use. Psyshock is a viable move on the Trick Room set, allowing it to beat specially defensive Pokemon such as Munchlax that don't take much from any of its moves. It's a weaker alternative than Psychic, though. A gimmicky Calm Mind set with Calm Mind/Acid Armor/Recover/Psychic and maximum investment in HP and Defense can be used as a late-game sweeper, but it's easily beaten by Misdreavus before it gets a chance to set up Calm Mind. The set can also use Flash Cannon or Hidden Power Dragon if you're afraid of Dark-types, but you lose a lot of power. An Endeavor set can possibly work, thanks to Magic Guard, but the sheer number of priority moves and recovery in LC makes it unviable.

[Checks and Counters]

It should be noted before considering any check or counter that Solosis can't be worn down by residual damage, thanks to its ability. Murkrow and Pawniard are the main counters to Solosis, as they wield a powerful priority Sucker Punch to hit Solosis for an OHKO before it even moves. However, they're both OHKOed by Thunder and Hidden Power Fighting, respectively. Ironically enough, Mienfoo can threaten Solosis outside of Trick Room with U-turn and stall Trick Room turns with Fake Out. Priority users are the bane of Solosis, as they bypass Trick Room and hit it through its frail defenses. Basically, anything that can tank a Life Orb-boosted Psychic can KO Solosis at the end of the turn, such as Porygon, Eviolite Offensive Chinchou, and Larvesta. Lileep under sandstorm can easily wall Solosis and slowly whittle it down with Giga Drain. Munchlax gets a special mention for being one of the few things that can outslow Solosis in Trick Room, tank any of its hits easily thanks to its high HP and Special Defense stats, and easily OHKO it with Return. It can be heavily damaged if it gets hit on the switch by Psyshock, though.

I love cooking with my crockpot – it's easy and makes the evening a little less crazy. I especially like making soups and stews in the crockpot, and this recipe is one of my favorites because it's a "put everything in the crockpot and turn it on" recipe. It's also very adaptable, so feel free to adjust the seasonings to suit your taste, to include herbs you have on hand, or to avoid specific triggers. It's a huge hit with everyone in our family, so give it a try tonight!
Serves 6
2 chicken breasts
3/4 cup barley
48 oz. low-sodium chicken broth
1 16 oz. bag frozen mixed vegetables
1/4 tsp garlic powder*
1 small chopped onion*
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning (or a mix of herbs like basil, oregano, and thyme)
2 bay leaves
Pepper to taste
Salt to taste
2 cups chopped baby spinach
- Put everything except the spinach in the crock pot, making sure everything is covered with chick broth.
- Put on the lid, set the crockpot to low, and cook for 5-6 hours until the barley is tender.
- Add the spinach for the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Remove and discard the bay leaves.
- Remove the chicken breasts, shred, then combine with the soup. (Or you can just shred them in the crock pot if they fall apart of you.)
*If fresh onions or garlic trigger your heartburn symptoms, try substituting dehydrated onion and garlic powder for those items. Some people find them more tolerable. Or omit the onion and garlic entirely – this dish is very forgiving!

If you wish to learn coding you must have things to know before start coding because it is not a piece of cake. While there are many forums that motivate people to get into coding claiming that it is not a big deal, it is not really the case. In fact, coding is one of the toughest things to learn and do.
Before you take the plunge, it is essential to have a fair idea about the entire journey into the field of coding appears to be. Only if you have a clear idea of how it all works so that you may make a well informed decision. Here are 10 things to know before start coding and helpful for you.

1. Build patience
Patience is one quality without which there is no way you can enter the field of coding. This treat basically helps you prepare to face disappointments. It will help you become a better problem-solver, and enhance your understanding of computers. The reason is that computer concepts are highly complex and call for patience, resilience, and tough to understand. Mostly, beginners don't have the right expectations when they start out and as a result they may want to give up in the early stages of their journey.
2. Get the basics right
The important things to know before start coding are to have the basics right. For this you have to get to know that the core of computer science. You can find a wide variety of online courses that are designed for beginners. It is important to conduct proper research so that you can choose the right program.
3. Set goals
Setting goals is essential for becoming a coder as well. If you are planning to learn PHP, it is essential to set a goal to do a project by the end of the week. As soon as you achieve one goal you need to set another. It means that as an early learner, you can aim for a range of goals such as:
• Build a calculator using CSS and JavaScript
• Make a responsive website with the help of HTML, CSS and JavaScript
• Create a dynamic website using any back-end programming languages
You can opt for any project of your liking as well. But before you set any goals make sure it is achievable. Start out with smaller goals and then you can continue to aim for bigger objectives.
4. Do more projects
It is also important to do more projects as it will help you improve your analytical and problem-solving skills and also get to know what your limitations are. Learning coding is about learning syntax, but it also includes solving problems with the tools that you have. You must also have a creative outlook, and a plan to build something significant. There are many great forums that can help you have new ideas like Livecoding. It is also possible to sign up for GitHub where you can store your code for easy access.
5. Get into social coding
If you are planning to build the next big app without any assistance you are not on the right track. Why? Programming is a group activity, and it is essential to get help from different social platforms that are meant for programmers. There are several things to know before start coding you can check out livecoding, GitHub, StackOverFlow and other similar social coding site so that you can get help from a suitable community.
6. Learning continuously
The road to development in coding is endless. And the continued state of powerlessness is part of being a developer. In addition, the new developments in technology don't let you relax as well considering you have to upgrade your skills and knowledge continuously.
7. Learning algorithms
Once you have gained some experience in projects, you need to move to algorithms. Algorithms are the heart of computer science. No matter if you are doing web development or game development, you have to use algorithms to achieve the end-result. Algorithmic thinking can help you find work as well as most job interviews are based on algorithms and problem-solving. It is best that you should try to solve at least one algorithm problem a day. You can do online courses for algorithms, or benefit from platforms like HackerRank.
8. Take advantage of code documentation
Code documentations basically helps you learn things to know before start coding and programming language. As a beginner, you can start slowly, and learn how to read code documentation. They can be intimidating sometimes so it is best to depend on Google at such times.
9. Get familiar with tools
Tools help you do small things faster. It doesn't matter which programming language or framework you learn, making the most of the tools available is the right approach. With the help of tools you can automate most of the manual tasks, and allow you to focus on the primary issue.
10. Look for a mentor
Programming is a time-taking thing if you don't have a mentor. Having a mentor can help you save time and get value from the experiences your mentor has as well. Your mentor can guide you through various projects, and thus you can emerge as a better programmer.
The Bottom Line
One of the most important things to know before start coding and to focus on is to get into a circle or a social platform where you can find people who are into the same profession or those who are like-minded. As you will gain proficiency in coding you will be able to make money as well. There are a number of online platforms like Upwork and Freelancer from where you may find suitable projects.

It was bound to happen. The racist elements of the Tea Party Express came to light in brilliant display for all to see. This coming from the founder of the Tea Party itself. After a week of trading insults with the NAACP Williams posted extremely racist and stupid musings on his website, which has since been taken down and Williams has issued an apology. But yet a much bigger concern for me is their collective attitude that only their opinions and needs mean anything. And yet that still isn't the biggest issues the party must face. The Biggest issue they have as a collective is their own hypocrisy. The Tea Party demands an immigration crack down. Yet a vast majority of the small and medium business owners are these same people clambering for reform. Reform would go a lot smoother if our businesses here would stop hiring illegal immigrants. Then on top of all that these same people are fueling the growing animosity aimed at the Unemployed. Again how many jobs could we free up just by enforcing our borders and making our small and medium businesses hire only American citizens or those with proper work visa's. Just doing that would bring unemployment below the double-digit mark. Yet I do not see them knocking themselves over to get this done. Besides border control and immigration, they strongly favor tax reform. This is tea party code for, leave Bush's tax cuts alone, leave our tax shelters alone. Leave our tax loopholes alone. The fact is for the last few decades maybe longer the tax burden has always been on the middle class. Not by sheer number but by percentage of earning paid out in taxes. The Tea Party does not want this to change. In fact they want to pay less taxes than their paying now. Here's an interesting figure, for every 12 houses valued at 100,000 or less one is in fore closer. For houses valued at a million dollars or more that number is seven to one. Yet these same people who make up the Tea Party are the ones pointing the finger at everyone but themselves. For years they paid virtually no taxes on their true worth, and claim the unemployed are leaching from the system. They Employ all the illegal immigrants the government fails to stop at the border, and point their fingers at us. They carried the majority of the debt when the markets crash and they blame the real tax payers of irresponsibility. Their excessive greed caused the market to crash and again they point their fingers at us. Its time to throw the brakes on this express and send it back to its berth.

Clarke signs with Pune Warriors
Michael Clarke, the Australia captain, has joined IPL franchise Pune Warriors. On Tuesday, Sourav Ganguly, the Warriors captain and mentor, had said Clarke was close to signing a contract which would be valid for the next two seasons. On Wednesday, the deal was confirmed by the IPL.
Ganguly, who was appointed captain for this season in the absence of Yuvraj Singh, said having Clarke on board would bolster the Warriors in all departments of the game.
"He can bat and he can bowl. He is a big player," Ganguly told ESPNcricinfo.
Clarke had, in 2009, pulled out of the IPL auction, citing Australia's busy schedule, and has never played in the competition. In fact the only domestic Twenty20 games he has played were way back in 2004, for Hampshire in England. He also retired from Twenty20 internationals in January 2011 in order to focus on ODIs and Tests. Asked why Warriors were interested in Clarke, despite his lack of T20 experience, Ganguly said Clarke had the talent and was considering a return to Twenty20 cricket.
"It is his ability," Ganguly said. "He also wants to re-start playing Twenty20 cricket."
Clarke had acknowledged that his manager was in talks with the franchise but said a decision would be arrived at in due course. Clarke landed in the Caribbean on Monday to join the Australia squad. He is still recovering from a hamstring injury suffered during the CB Series, but is expected to play in the warm-up match ahead of the three-Test series against West Indies.
Clarke will only feature in the second half of the Warriors' campaign, as the West Indies tour finishes at the end of the April.
Warriors are now left with just one more overseas slot to fill. Ganguly also confirmed that the franchise had opened talks with Tamim Iqbal, the Bangladesh opener, but it was too early to say anything definitive. "We are still chatting to Tamim," Ganguly said.

The Loire Valley, about an hour south of Paris, is known for its wines – mostly a softer, lighter rosé or white but also some vibrant reds – as well as for its castles. You could spend weeks visiting all the wineries and castles – or longer. But be sure to stop in to see the Villandry castle gardens.Read More

Paris is a marvelous, invigorating city with many corners to explore but sometimes you have to make like a Parisian and go to the park to escape it all. The Jardin du Luxembourg in the 6th arrondissement near the Sorbonne and only about a mile from St. Michel and the Seine River is just right for that.Read More
Covering several hundred square miles with hundreds of wineries, Loire Valley wine tasting opportunities are numerous. This French region may be one of the world's most well-known wine-producing areas – but HOLY COW how do you get to experience it all on a short visit? The wine trail ("La route des vignobles") is nearly 500 miles! The Loire Valley tourist and wine experts have figured that out for you, so take a breath and get ready to take a sip (or two, or three…).Read More
If there is "slow food," then consider trying out "slow touring." Touring Loire Valley by bike allows you to stop, ponder, photograph and enjoy while not missing a bit. Forget whizzing past to get to the next castle or winery. You'll still get there. It'll just be a bit slower and a whole lot more fun.Read More
Paris is a city that is filled with parks – more than 400 — from postage stamp size ones on street corners to sprawling green spaces, like the Jardin des Plantes with its 28 hectares (69 acres) that were first planted in 1626.
