Actually, the build path resolver's contract is to "load" the Dependency graph and resolve it, handing the result out, but that doesn't mean that graph cannot be specified inside the build file itself. It was impractical before Ant 1.6, because pluggeable components could only be configured using <param>, but no more thanks to Peter. If you have: public class BuildPath extends Path { public void addType(BuildPathResolver resolver) {...} } You can now do something like the following: <project ...> <typedef name="antdepsresolver" classname="com.wunderbar.AntDepsResolver" ... /> <buildpath id="dependencies> <antdepsresolver> <fileset dir="${dependencies.dir}" includes="*/build.xml" /> <depend project="util" /> <depend project="commons" /> ... </antdepsresolver> </buildpath> </project> So no need for external files, and everything done in Ant. --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

do we need a god to provide society with morals?

do we need a god to provide society with morals?
I have often heard theists ask atheists where atheists get their morals from. Often this question is posed in order to demonstrate the inconsistency of the atheist's beliefs and actions. "If atheists believe that humans came to be as a cosmic accident via natural processes like evolution, where do atheist's morals come from and why are they worth following.".
This question is problematic, because it assumes that the theist has a more consistent basis for their moral values. There is no reason to believe this, which is why I have begun this debate. The official debate question is "do religiously grounded morals provide a better framework for morality than secular morals". What is meant by "a better framework for morality" is the question of which viewpoint provides an explanation for where our morals come from, that give us reason to believe our morals have a basis somewhere other than our imaginations, and gives us reason to follow them. For this debate I am using the definition of "morality" that popped up on a quick Google search which is "a person's standards of behavior or beliefs concerning what is and is not acceptable for them to do".
One proposed source of morals other than god is evolution. For example, ancient peoples working in groups had a much better chance of surviving than loners. In order to work together people had to trust that the people they depended onwould do what was best for the group and not for themselves. This is the secular explanation for our morals, that I have chosen to use for this debate. This explanation is more consistent with the actions of societies and societal attitude towards morality.
If our morals have been instilled in us by a god, you would expect that they would then be unchanging, rigid and consistent from person to person. Instead we find that over time morals have changed. In the past marrying prepubescent girls was deemed okay, today the same thing would be seen as out right immoral. Second our morals are different from person to person, even in a very small sample. It is very easy to find people with different views of right and wrong. There are people who believe that killing people for not believing in the same god is acceptable. Yes, these people are few and far between, but this does not disprove the fact that different people have different morals. Finally our morals are not as rigid as we think. A common demonstration of how hazy our morals are is as follows: If there was a doctor who had eight patients, each of which needed some specific organ in order to survive, and the doctor also had one single patient who had just the right types of organs to save the other patients, would it be morally justifiable for the doctor to kill the patient and harvest the organs for the eight others? Most people would probably say no. But if instead the question were: If there were five people standing on a subway track ignorant of a train barreling towards them, and a bystander realized he/she had the power to flip a switch and divert the train onto another track where it would only kill one person, which would be the right course of action? I've personally heard the answer that flipping the switch is morally justifiable. What exactly is the difference between these questions? This shows that our morals are not as rigid and consistent as one would expect, especially if they came from one mind, particularly one that is as powerful and intelligent as that of a god. Also, there is no reason for this difference under religious morality, while secular morality provides a reason for the distention which I will discuss in an moment.
Another source of morality that I have heard from theists give for their morality is their holy book. They cite their chosen holy book at the direct source for their morals, for example, the Bible, Torah, Qur'an and so on. Each of these texts have passages that instruct us in what is right and wrong in god's eyes. However, currently, most people do not follow quite a few of these passages and thus all of God's morals. If we choose to follow some passages, but not others, than those judgments made are coming from somewhere outside whichever holy book is being referenced. Another issue I see with this argument is that assuming our morals come from religious texts, we are warned against murder equally as strongly as adultery. Baring external influences how do we decide which one is worse? If a husband cheated on his wife and than she murdered him, most people would probably think that she was the worse of the two of them, but under this argument they would be equal in their wrongdoing.
The evolution explanation on the other hand, can supply us with an explanation that fits with what we see in the world of human morality. This explanation also gives us reason to believe that morality is relatively unwavering, as it's purpose is unwavering. Since evolution is a very slow process the underlying base of our morals are not changing. Guy marriage may go from being seen as immoral to moral, but the underlying idea that people should do what best for society will not change. This secular explanation can explain why it is morally okay to flip the switch in the subway, but not okay for the doctor to kill his patient. Even though the doctor would save more lives then he ended, the net effect to society would be negative, because it would mean that we have to constantly be on the look out to avoid situations in which it would be acceptable to kill us. Flipping the switch on the subway is in an extraordinary circumstance so you flipping the switch will not cause society to start breaking down.
If you have any issue with any of the definition or the thesis question, feel free to explain why you feel they are unfair, I will be more than happy to discuss them.
Let me make it clear that I am playing devil's advocate here and can see both sides of the issue.
Your argument really begins after some preliminary rhetorical positing with your statement that maintains: "what is meant by a 'better framework for morality' is the question of which viewpoint provides an [better] explanation for where our morals come from, that give us reason to believe our morals have a basis other than our imaginations, and gives us reason to follow them." A somewhat convoluted statement, but important in the context of your argument.
Because you presuppose that a framework for morality is a method of trying to explain how we already have morality. So you're skipping over something, which is whether we even have morality or not.
That's relevant because I'll say, I don't think most Christians believe that human beings possess morality innately, in fact quite the opposite.
Common trinitarian versions of Christianity fall on a conventional interpretation of Genesis which I'll paraphrase as saying that human beings are originally sinned. Much of being a Christian involves accepting one's sinful nature and trying to become more like God the father and Jesus, who represents the highest sacrificial morality.
So you should be able to see from this that Christians dont believe that morality is innate. This is why they think their religion is so important because it instills the morality which we inherently lack.
The rest of your argument is difficult then because you then focus on whether evolution or a one-time act of God to make us moral is more consistent with how people actually behave. And that's interesting, but I think beside the point.
Now I'll return to the question and answer it: do we need a god to provide society with morals? I believe yes.
Fallibility vs. Omniscience
The problem with a code of conduct invented by humans is that it is fallible. Humans are limited in their nonperfect and biased ways to rely on their rationality and science, which only creates theories and not absolute truths. Only an absolute and perfect God can conceive moral laws from omniscient understanding that can be known and relied upon for all time as good. Human beings will always be limited by their ability to observe causes an effects in a finite time, they do not know the beginning, end, and the totality of occurences in the way an omniscient god does that gives him an ultimate authority that cannot be questioned.
Once we begin to decide that human beings can set their own standards of conduct, doesn't that mean we can all decide for ourselves what is right and wrong? And since there is no absolute knowledge to contradict them, can't we condone everyone a right to believe their own actions good? That would be moral relativism. That one action could be right in a circumstance and wrong in another. This is a non-absolute morality, which is no morality at all. Why? Because it means that, for instance, say an Amazonian tribe deep in Brazil believes sacrificing children born with a cleft palate is a necessary act to appease the god of rain, that sacrificing a child ritually is right. If morality is relative, have we any right to discipline this tribe for their behavior? They are human, we are human, they have their reasons, we have ours, there is no higher authority, so everything is permissable. This is the heart of error in relative morality which makes a higher divine authority necessary to tell us that things are right and wrong beyond our own limited interpretations.
How this leaves us in the end, a human world without a set of divine set of instructions of how to act, is to be free to decide what is right and wrong for ourselves. In summary, I believe we do need a God to make morality legitimate because our means of rationality based on our limited knowledge and experience, and the problems that come with allow human beings to decide on their own leave us with a relative morality are both reasons that make any humanistic morality non-absolute and insufficiently binding to keep us truly moral.

The 10 Commandments were made simple an uncomplicated so ignorant people like you can't get around them, because they are what they are. There is no 'weight' on what is more valuable to follow. Sin is sin to God. All sin is awfully equal in His eyes. You are so far off to believe the only thing God wrote was the 10 Commandments. Throughout time, God used prophets to write down His words for Him. You were right about one thing: He is all-powerful. He doesn't *have* to do anything for us because He created us and sent His only perfect Son to die on the cross for EVERYONE, whether they choose to believe in Him or not. God's purpose for us is to love Him and to have faith in what He does for us or what He could do if we don't hold back from Him. He will not force anyone to love Him, or we would all be robots without emotions or control of our own thoughts.
I at least know that I have a purpose for my life and for being on this earth. At least, opposed to those who believe they come from monkeys who come from fish who come from amoebas which came from nothing. THAT'S pathetic.
The 10 commandments seem awfully petty, tribal and all too human to be from a god. We are talking about someone or something who is perfect and brilliant enough to create (and tend) to a universe with a 100 million galaxies, each with a 100 million stars (just so we can exist). Why would a god place a higher moral price on "being jealous of someones donkey", as opposed to say "child abuse", "slavery", "equal rights for races", "equal rights for the sexes" etc? Every single one of us can improve the 10 commandments in some way, at a stroke. But its worse than that. According to the stories you want to believe in, this was the ONLY time a god intervened to personally write part of the bible himself. Everything else was written by an intermediary and peddled as revealed truth. In other words the dangers of "donkey envy" were amongst one of the 10 most important messages this super-being thought worthy of spending his personal time communicating. I guess if you believe that, you are advertising a willingness to believe the rest of the abject nonsense of Christianity, its precursors and successors.

In Bayesian statistical inference, a prior probability distribution, often called simply the prior, of an uncertain quantity p (for example, suppose p is the proportion of voters who will vote for the politician named Smith in a future election) is the probability distribution that would express one's uncertainty about p before the "data" (for example, an opinion poll) is taken into account. It is meant to attribute uncertainty rather than randomness to the uncertain quantity. The unknown quantity may be a parameter or latent variable.

text: I want to hear why people like and use Acekard over carts like CycloDS and SuperCardDS1(i). I know that the features arent as great with the Acekard. Is it price and/or DSi compatibility? I have a CycloDS and only a DSLite. I am getting a Supercard DS2 because of GBA emulation without needing my 3in1. Fixes are released about as often for each cart. So I want to know why Acekard? If normatt quit, it would be dead. Does that scare anyone?

The South-By-Southwest (SXSW; or "South By" if you live in Austin and are complaining about the utter traffic nightmare) festival has been going on pretty much 360 degrees around me, non-stop, for over a week. Say it with me Austinites: only two more days. Then blessed silence, empty streets, and I can stop protecting my very convenient parking space with a sawed-off. You think I'm joking. Well, I am about the sawed off.
SXSW is like a mullet: business in the first part, party in the second part.
The first weekend was "Interactive" - technology demos, panels about social media marketing, the gamer conference called ScreenBurn - and "Film" - docus and short productions looking for distributors and more eye-balls. These parts of SXSW are run by "badges" - the level of your badge dictates were you could enter, what you could see. Of course, these badges sold out months ago and cost upwards of $1-1.5k.
Generally, the vibe was hip, young, business-(wo)man looking to connect with other hip, young, business-people in a hyperactive, sponsor-constructed atmosphere of The Next Big Thing or Idea Is .....
I went to a local coffee shop to work and people watch last Monday, the last full day of Interactive and Film, and the banquettes were full of hip, young, business-people fully plugged in, and fully checked out. iPhones and MacBookAirs out and coffees in-hand, their owners were slumped over from far too little sleep, far too many espressos, and total brain drain. That night Jay-Z and Eminem were playing a show at ACL Live to mark the end of Interactive/Film, and a lot of the audience was asleep in that coffee shop.
The business was over, the party had already begun. Bonafide stages, impromptu music venues, and open-mics next food carts sprouted up by Wednesday morning; if it has open cement, grass, or a roof, someone was now performing upon it. The record label/store across the street from the Mothership put a festival in their parking lot, so good luck getting down 6th or Lamar. There is a stage in the parking lot of the St. Vincent de Paul's Thrift Store down the street from my apartment, as well as behind the pizza shop one block up from St. Vinny's and the restaurant across the street from St. Vinny's so good luck getting down South Congress. Friday night The Counting Crows and a by-all-accounts-trashed Adam Durlitz gave a free concert less than a block from me as the crow flies, and the three bars located between me and that stage also had full musical line-ups. So good luck getting down South First, Riverside, or Barton Springs. In addition, there was a whole section of downtown that the city just summarily closed to traffic. I stupidly thought I could get places like swim practice and the grocery store. Apparently, I can hear The Counting Crows play from my couch, but I can't buy bananas.
Music is run by wristbands, which sold out months ago and cost hundreds of dollars, but day-time shows are generally free and open to the public. Most acts stick around and play several times - once at night, for a "wristband-only" show, and once during the day, for a free/sponsored/showcase show.
Saturday I went to my only SXSW concert, or the only one that didn't waft into my living room on the breeze, to see a band that I had never heard of, to support a friend of a friend that I didn't know. See if you can follow this: the band's keyboardist's parents live in Madison, next door to parents of two kids with whom I went to high-school and still keep in touch; the parents of the high-school friends remain close friends of my own, newly-returned-to-Wisconsin parents and a message was passed along that I needed to act as the Texas-Midwest Cultural Relations Committee. Isn't that how everyone finds their new favorite band?
Introducing FILLIGAR!
I mean...wait...their reputation demands that I say...they were mal-adjusted, filthy-mouthed guys who likely wandered out of a council estate in England. Which sounds suspiciously like how the Rolling Stones started....hey, a band can dream big.
Teddy, Johnny, Pete, and Casey (the friend of the friend), started this band when they were barely teenagers, ten years ago, and it shows. Tight musicianship, multiple albums of songs they wrote themselves, and a live show that demonstrates they just really love to play rock 'n roll together.

Corporate income tax (VPB)
This information is provided by Netherlands Enterprise Agency
If you own a private or public limited company (BV or NV), you must complete a corporate income tax return (VPB) for your company. Foundations or associations must complete corporation tax returns only in specific circumstances. Depending on the level of profit, you may be exempt.
Your company pays corporate income tax on the taxable profit in a single financial year. You can further reduce the taxable profit if your company has any deductible losses. More often than not, a financial year is the same as a calender year. However, a 'broken' financial year (e.g. from May to April) is also permitted. The financial year for the corporate income tax return must be the same as the financial year in the company's articles of association.
Offset of losses
You may offset losses with future profits or profits from previous years. You offset losses initially against the profit from the previous year (carry back). If this is not possible, you may offset your losses with future profits (carry forward), which is only limited to 9 years.
In order to calculate the profit for corporation tax, you must apply more or less the same rules as apply to income tax.
Innovation Box
Are your activities innovative? And are you making a profit? Then you may be able to put the profit from these activities in a special tariff box on your corporate income tax return: the innovation box. You then pay less tax. It is conditional that you have a patent or a foreign patent or that you apply for the R&D payroll tax allowance (WBSO).
Filing your return
The return for corporate income tax is filed each year, at the end of the company's financial year. The corporate income tax return is completed digitally.

Prayer and Fasting Resources
21 Days of Prayer is a time where we intentionally seek God every day in prayer as we believe for Him to move in powerful ways. The goal of fasting is to draw nearer to God. Biblical fasting always has to do with eliminating distractions for a spiritual purpose; it hits the reset button of our soul and renews us from the inside out. It also enables us to celebrate the goodness and mercy of God and prepares our hearts for all the good things God desires to bring into our lives. Remember, your personal fast should present a level of challenge, but it is very important to know your body, your options, and, most importantly, to seek God in prayer and follow what the Holy Spirit leads you to do.

Google+ Refreshes Its Look
Written by Victoria Louise Crump-Haill – Digital Strategist/Account Director
Google announced last Wednesday that it is rolling out a significant redesign for its social networking platform Google+, with many components aligning with features of much loved platforms Facebook and Twitter. The company have introduced a variety of new features, from customisined apps and a navigation bar to more flexibility with profile pages and pictures. In addition, the update introduced a new Explore page that posts what's interesting and trending across the site.
Google+ will now offer profile pages that will include bigger photos, similar to Facebook's Timeline, and feature a chat list that puts friends front and center on your page. Another major update involves how users can navigate around the news stream. Instead of static icons at the top, there's a ribbon of apps on the left. The ribbon allows users to drag apps up or down to create the order, hover over certain apps to reveal a set of quick actions and show or hide apps by moving them out of the section.
A dedicated Hangouts page has also been added to the site, so people can have quick access to public and On Air video chat hangouts. This will allow Google+ users to meet new people and watch live broadcasts, as well as enter new rooms via a rotating billboard of Hangouts.
What do you think of the redesign? Do you think Google+ will ever be able to compete with Facebook and Twitter in the healthcare space? To date, uptake by Pharma has been limited. The Roche page is only in 2o2 this people circles at this stage.

Now, though, she suddenly finds herself outside of the boardroom and a power breaker in a potential battle for control between an ageing Arsenal establishment and foreign billionaire investors.
Since becoming an Arsenal director in 2005, Bracewell-Smith has kept a low profile and few either inside or outside the club have any real idea what she plans to do with a stake of 15.9 per cent that is worth around £75 million and makes her the club's third highest shareholder.
She has become an increasingly isolated figure at board meetings, but there was little indication of the drama to follow as she took her place at the top table for the recent club annual meeting. Born Nina Kakkar in New Delhi, she married Sir Charles Bracewell-Smith in 1996.
Sir Charles is the son of the former Arsenal director Sir George Bracewell-Smith, who was on the Arsenal board of directors from May 1953 to September 1976. Sir George was, in turn, the son of former Arsenal chairman Sir Bracewell Smith, who served the club from 1948 to 1962.
She has previously said that she does not intend to sell and, until this week, was part of the lockdown agreement that was established to guard against a potential hostile takeover.
However, Bracewell-Smith may now regard this as the right time to fully break her ties with the club.

If you were to think of 'branding', you would quite possibly think of marketing campaigns and advertising undertaking by companies in order to be viewed in a specific way or as having certain values. However, having a personal brand, is equally important in the current jobs market. Create a bit of buzz about yourself as a person or be seen as a 'must have' for a business and you'll soon find yourself in as high demand as the latest tech or fashion.
If you are new to the Office Services market – or, conversely, have been in the same role for a long time – you may well be uncertain as to how to create a personal brand and, more importantly, how to market it to potential employers and recruiters.
Fear not, because I have plenty of advice to offer candidates about creating a positive personal brand and how to deliver that message to employers even before you've been invited to an interview. Read on for my top tips when it comes to creating a personal brand that stands out from the competition.
Decide on your message
How do you want potential employers to think of you? What do you have to offer that makes you different? What are your values when it comes to approaching work? These might seem like daunting questions, but it is absolutely critical that you are able to answer them. Perhaps you are up-to-date with advanced Microsoft Office programming or maybe you are great at implementing organisational processes that save a firm valuable time. If you've proven yourself to be a trustworthy employee, learn how to talk about it. Whatever your key skills, values and strengths are, you have to learn to market them well.
Create a presence
This is something you can do in person and online. Start by creating or updating your LinkedIn profile (read our blog about how to get yours noticed). You can network online by joining in discussion, sharing articles or even writing your own blog posts. Join in with market relevant webinars to get your name out there. You can also network in person by attending events or reaching out to potential mentors or recruiters for industry advice and guidance.
Tailor your information
Not everything that you have to write or say about yourself will be relevant for every potential employer. Learn to deliver the most important elements of your skills and values – as you would with a CV – when conveying your personal brand to an interviewer or when reaching out to valuable connections. If you are sending someone an email in order to make a new connection, sell yourself in one paragraph or less in order to really grab their attention.
It's so important to be a visible presence in your market, as well as creating a great profile online. If you are able to get along to networking events, you should bite the bullet and do so. It can seem nerve wracking to be in a room full of strangers, but you'll more than likely have some common ground to get the conversation started. Join in with discussions where you can and market the best version of yourself to whoever you meet.
If you would like to speak to me about Office Services roles across Glasgow and Edinburgh, I'd love to chat to you confidentially about the positions we currently have available. Click here to see my details.
We pride ourselves as a business that is focused on helping people develop their careers and helping businesses succeed through the acquisition of great talent.

Have you seen the Big Hello Die by Simon Says Stamps??? It is a must have for every crafter!! I just Love it.
I had a little time to make two simple cards using it, and can't wait to use it again!
This first one I used Distress Ink and stacked the hello on to 5 more die cuts to make it look like chip board. A little technique I learned from Jennifer McGuire a few years back. The sweet little Owl named Shadow is a New stamp by Stacey Yacula for Purple Onion Designs. (So Cute)
Anyhow here is the card.
The next one was die cut from a piece of paper I covered with Washi tape and did the extra stack to as well. The little Bird is from the Bird Cage Set by Stephanie Ackerman for Purple Onion Design. This time I covered the Hello with Glossy Accents.
This die will definately become one of my most used other than my Pop N Cuts....
I have a few more Creations I'm working on and hope to share soon!
In the meantime how bout a little Giveaway?? I have a few extra items from Hero Arts I would like to share with one of you.
Just leave me a comment and I will draw a winner on October 5th so make sure you comment by October fourth at midnight MST.
PS the ink color is Fresh Peach one of my favorites. the photo makes it look red....

New Jersey's southern Cape is host to huge annual bird migrations, making Cape May one of the best bird-watching locations in the world. Over 400 species have been spotted here.
Birds of Cape May, New Jersey presents exquisite photographs that present shore, prey, and song birds commonly seen at Cape May in lively action and flight themes. Birds are shown in foliage appropriate to different seasons, with anecdotes and natural history in concise photo captions.
Birds of Cape May, New Jersey is a treasure for all who love birds and wildlife photography.
"[...] Birds of Cape May is a very good showcase of the avian richness possessed by Cape May, New Jersey. Even though it is a little too expensive to be an impulse-buy, it would make a nice souvenir of a trip to this birding hotspot. Cape May residents should also have a copy, preferably displayed prominently for the benefit of non-birding friends and family! Finally, fans of bird photography in general should enjoy this collection."

Although on a downward trend, the HIV/AIDS epidemic remains a global crisis affecting all levels of society. The business world has not been spared - suffering not only the loss to the workforce but also in terms of profits and productivity, resulting in many new challenges for both employers and employees.
Across the world, AIDS has both a direct and indirect impact on business. In southern Africa, for example, at its peak, it was estimated that more than 20% of the economically active population in the 15–49-year-old age group was infected with HIV. Employers have been experiencing reduced productivity as a result of employee absenteeism and death and are consequently challenged to manage the impact of HIV/AIDS in the workplace, including dealing with issues of stigma and discrimination, changing requirements for healthcare benefits, training of replacement staff, and loss of skills and knowledge among employees.
The leadership role played by business in tackling the HIV/AIDS pandemic is gaining increasing recognition. With the impact of this deadly scourge being felt most among those of working age, HIV/AIDS has become a key workplace issue. Global partnerships are therefore an essential part of the response.
In this respect, the IOE has developed close working relations with UNAIDS and the Global Fund to fight HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria, and the IOE is facilitating the transfer of information and experience to employers' organisations in this key area.

Six people died in Tarrant County in three days. Saturday, a suspect shot three in Arlington. Monday, three more people died from gunshot wounds in a Fort Worth murder-suicide. Both cases were domestic disputes that got out of hand.
"That batterers are willing to take it to such a high degree, to such a far degree. I think, even I'm a little surprised by that," said Mary Lee Hafley, CEO of SafeHaven of Tarrant County.
Hafley says the recent crimes show the current system isn't working.
"I don't think these things would be happening if we were doing it right," she said.
Hafley's main concern is education, for officials and victims.
er, now ex-husband, for 7 years. It wasn't until they got married th
Aida Mitchell was with her, now ex-husband, for 7 years. It wasn't until they got married that she realized he was an abuser.
Even then, she didn't seek help hoping he would change.
"Emotionally, you are attached to that person. So, you're going to see him with good eyes, and you're going to see that he's going to change. The reality is. if he doesn't get help, change isn't' going to happen," said Mitchell.
The biggest indicator of domestic violence is a controlling partner.
"So, you're telling the person what they can and can't do. Everything that's wrong is the victim's fault," said Hafley.
Once the victim becomes dependent, it's harder to leave.
"It's really about controlling another person with fear and intimidation. That often results in physical assault, but it usually begins through mental and emotional abuse," said Hafley.

"It (the abuse) just became worse and worse as time progressed. He didn't actually care at that time, where he crashed my car, drug me by the parking lot. I was bleeding all over. I said, 'you know what? enough is enough.' I was fearing for my life at that time," said Mitchell, of when she decided to call for help.
She admits, she should have called earlier. That's why she decided to tell her story, in the hopes other women going through the same thing will seek help before it's too late.

Security is of the utmost importance when traveling with a pet. When the going gets rough, soft carriers just don't always cut it. With its hard top and hard base, the Pet Magasin Collapsible Hard Cover Pet Carrier safeguards your furry babies from accidental bumps when they're being toted around.
And it's not just sturdy! The carrier has a soft padded mat on inside to keep your pets cozy and prevent them from slipping around, as well as ventilated sides and a mesh front to let Milo and Otis see what's going around them.
Being super light (2.2 pounds) and collapsible, the carrier is also great for people who struggle with big bulky carriers or don't have that much storage space. The top and bottom of the carrier zip together, making a small, flat disc that is easily tucked away on a shelf or in a closet.

Another foliage season has come to a close in the Great North Woods, with the colors of fall moving past peak and the majority of leaves decorating the ground and roadways rather than the trees. Don't let that discourage you from a trip up to this beautiful part of the state where recreation and wildlife watching are just a couple of the amazing activities you can experience year round. To learn more about the Great North Woods region, click here.
Percentage Changed: Past Peak
The White Mountains region has moved well into the past peak phase of foliage. Many leaves have fallen now, with probably close to 80% on the ground. However, there is a bit more color remaining towards the southern part of the region. Below Pinkham Notch, our leaf peepers are reporting golds, oranges, rusts and browns still decorating some trees. Try the Campton area around Waterville Valley for a final White Mountain leaf peeping trip. Though many leaves have fallen, the color that remains still makes for a pretty drive. As the foliage season wraps up, be sure to start planning now for your winter mountain adventures! Click here to learn more.
Another foliage season has just about wrapped up in the Dartmouth/Lake Sunapee region. The leaves are definitely past peak, with what remains looking rusty, brown and dark yellow. You will find pockets of brighter color here and there- try near Sunapee or further south in the region for your best bet at what remains for foliage right now. And despite the leaf drop and duller tones, it is still a beautiful time of year to drive the many back roads up around the Hanover area. The remaining leaves add a nice colorful backdrop to the beautiful country roads. There are lots of great country inns and hotels in the Dartmouth/Lake Sunapee region- start planning your next trip today, click here.
In the Lakes region, most of the trees have become muted yellows and oranges, signs that the foliage is past its peak. However, with all of this rain that fell this week, the drive from Farmington to Belmont is beautiful, lined with the pretty, paler colors that remain. If you're headed up for the weekend, you'll probably still find some foliage throughout many of the towns surrounding Lake Winnipesaukee and the views of the big lake are stunning no matter what season you visit, so plan your next getaway today! Click here to get planning.
After a longer than usual peak foliage season, the Monadnock region is just starting to head past peak. Heavy rain and wind earlier in the week brought down quite a bit of leaves, but the color that remains is still quite pretty and there are spots that are still hanging onto nice bright red, orange and yellow. Try a scenic drive on Route 101 heading from Peterborough through Dublin, to Marlboro and Keene. Route 63 from Chesterfield to Westmoreland is a nice drive, too. There are lots of great upcoming events, plus year round recreation and activities in the Monadnock region, so be sure to visit again even after the leaves have fallen. Plan your trip, click here.
Percentage Changed: 100% - Past Peak
A series of rainy, windy days brought down leaves quickly in the Merrimack Valley and the region has now moved a bit past peak. Many roads are still quite pretty- you'll see one tree covered in bright yellow leaves next to a tree that is surrounded by bold reds and oranges on the ground below. The state capital of Concord still has quite a bit of color to be found, even with many trees now starting to drop their leaves. This weekend should provide leaf peepers with a decent bit of color from the Massachusetts line up through Manchester, Milford and Amherst. It won't be the bright show of weekends past, but now is still a great time to get in the car and take a scenic ride with a stop for lunch and shopping in one of our bigger cities like Manchester, Nashua or Concord. Learn more about visiting the Merrimack Valley region year round by clicking here.
The Seacoast is where you want to be if you're still looking for peak color in New Hampshire. The area is still at the beginning stages of peak right now. It's been an unusual season of color here. Some hills and roadways are still very green while others are just starting to turn orange and yellow. Still other spots are full peak with bright orange and red. This will be a quick peak season for the region- the heavy wind and rain of the past few days has stripped a significant amount of trees already. So take advantage of the color now, because it probably won't last long. Some recommended drives for the upcoming weekend will be Routes 33, 108, 101, 85 and 88. Even after the leaves have fallen, plan to visit the Seacoast region later this fall and winter. The Portsmouth area has wonderful holiday events and our coastal town are beautiful year round.

There is no shortage of speculation regarding the future of Washington Huskies men's basketball coach Lorenzo Romar. It's on Twitter. It's on message boards. It is, seemingly, the foremost topic of discussion any time UW basketball is mentioned.
Do not count UW athletic director Jen Cohen among that crowd. She doesn't want to go there in mid-December with 20-plus games left on the schedule.
"I'm not going to talk about hypotheticals. I'm not going to speak to something that may or may not happen," Cohen told The News Tribune on Wednesday. "Our focus is on the here and the now, and helping this program get better and improve and be where we want it to be."
Where it is now — a 4-5 overall record entering Sunday's 5 p.m. home game against Western Michigan — isn't good enough, Cohen acknowledges. She knows Romar feels the same. UW hasn't made the NCAA tournament since 2011, and has done little this season to suggest that drought might end.
If it doesn't, it seems reasonable to wonder whether Romar would still be UW's coach next season. It might not be an easy decision. Romar's contract runs through the 2019-20 season, he would be due $3.2 million if the school fires him before March 31, and he just signed the highest-rated recruiting class in school history, a group that includes Michael Porter Jr., the No. 2 recruit in the 2017 class and the son of UW assistant Michael Porter Sr.
Cohen doesn't want to speculate on such matters, saying "that's not where our heads are right now."
"Everybody associated with that program is busting their tails," Cohen said. "Everybody is supporting them for this program to get better. Both Lorenzo and I are in agreement that the team isn't achieving the results we want. That's obvious.
"I think they have talent. I think they have the opportunity to jell together, which they haven't done yet, and there's a lot of basketball to be played. My perspective is, I'm giving them all the support I can, but we're anxious to see how everything comes together."
The Huskies are currently riding a four-game nonconference losing streak and are below .500 through the season's first nine games for the first time in Romar's 15-season UW tenure. They followed consecutive losses to TCU with an embarrassing blowout defeat at Gonzaga, then lost at home to Nevada last week. Their defense has been undisciplined and sloppy. They have lost two games, to Yale and Nevada, as a direct result of failing to keep teams off the offensive glass.
Sunday's game against Western Michigan offers a greater likelihood of victory; the Broncos are 3-6 and reeling from the recent arrest of freshman guard Joeviair Kennedy, who has been charged with murder and armed robbery in connection with the shooting death of a WMU student.
The Broncos are one of the worst defensive teams in the country, allowing opponents to shoot 49.5 percent from the field and 40.2 percent from 3-point range.
But Romar has watched his team lose twice on their home floor to mid-major opponents this season, and correctly surmised that "we don't have any room to pick and choose right now when we want to play at a top level."
"We have told our team that the record does not reflect the type of team Western Michigan is," Romar said. "They're a better team than their record would show. … We've dropped consecutive games. We can't afford to come out and just go through the motions. I don't think that will happen."
Romar remains optimistic that the Huskies can begin playing better defense and look more like the team he believes they can be.
His boss hopes so, too.
"They have talent on this team, so it's a question of these kids kind of jelling together, as far as what I see when I watch them play," Cohen said. "They have different people in different positions, a lot of new faces in those roles. It's not an excuse at all. They need to click, and they need to come together. And I see enough talent for them to be able to do that."

Title - Artemis Fowl
Author - Eoin Colfer
Twelve-year-old Artemis Fowl is a millionaire, a genius—and, above all, a criminal mastermind. But even Artemis doesn't know what he's taken on when he kidnaps a fairy, Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit. These aren't the fairies of bedtime stories—they're dangerous! Full of unexpected twists and turns, Artemis Fowl is a riveting, magical adventure.
I read this book because It has been on my to read list since I was 12 years old but a suitable time never came but this year as I proceeded to watch my 20 year old, almost 6 foot grown man friend read the book with childlike fascination, well I knew it was about time that I got me some of that.
This book was surprisingly good, sure the plot setting was interesting but often I found myself bored with billionaire, evil genius child image. Probably because of the unnatural jealousy that flares up every time you watch a mare boy flaunting his wealth about. Thankfully for my new years resolution and whatever remains of my sanity Artemis Fowl restrained himself from the obvious 12 year old womanizer plot so he could focus more on hating humanity and outwitting faeries.Unsurprisingly this made me a feel a kinship between the dark eyes pale boy bent on not ''melodramatic'' world domination but rather acquiring a tonne of gold from obviously mean spirited sprites.
I am a very big fan of the paranormal/supernatural genre but for me I have always avoided fairies. One because I often prefer to keep a somewhat probably inaccurate image of fairies as the good little season changers. Don't blame me, blame Disney. Even when little Tinkerbell grew mischievous, she wasn't exactly someone you described as evil.
I have to give it to Colfer he revolutionized the lore in a way that it still kept the original integrity, yes elves once made shoes at night and brownies cleaned your house but the time of peace has indeed passed and modern fairies despise their Mud People counterparts and shunned the sunlight that made them so pretty.Instead they made some heavy duty techno gear and only planted acorns when they need a little charge of magic from mother nature.
Colfer doesn't exactly get rid of the rich boy stereotype, Artemis has one hell of a man servant. One that could probably serve you tea while beating a Troll, can't say I imagine Richie Rich's butler Herbert Cadbury taking that kind of a beating from a tusked, man eating beast but the premise of the relationship was the same. Butler trusted Artemis implicitly and in return Butler was the closes thing Artemis had to a father.
The loyalty between them is a pleasure to behold.In a plot where there are flying meter high people with tonnes of gold, it gives a real emotional grounding to the story.
One last thing and this probably occurred by a combination of active imagination and hormonal teenager mental state but a small part of me wishes that Artemis was that little bit older so as to have a romantic interest in a fairy, a fact Colfer firmly rejected in the epilogue, although I doubt he was talking about that kind of romanticism.
Overall I enjoyed this book and in several places it had me almost on the edge of my seat so I give it 4 stars and a promise to go out and get the next Artemis Fowl tomorrow.

Bangalore: India`s defence behemoth Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) is awaiting the government`s green signal to go public soon to raise funds and improve its corporate governance, an official said on Thursday.
"Being a fully owned state-run enterprise, it is for the government to decide when to begin the disinvestment process and the quantum of dilution," HAL finance director D Shivamurti told reporters.
Though other city-based state-run defence firms such as Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) and Bharat Earth Movers Ltd (BEML) had gone public long ago, the government had been wary of diluting its 100 percent equity holding in the strategic HAL, a sole manufacturer of military aircraft and aerospace systems for the Indian armed forces.
"The process of making an initial public offer (IPO) is on for various reasons, including meeting corporate governance objectives, making public stakeholders and have financial muscle to meet our future requirements for scaling our strategic operations," Shivamurti said on the sidelines of Aero India 2011 trade expo here.
Once the government approves divesting in the open market, the 70-year old company board will decide the quantum, value and the timing of the issue.
"We will be investing about Rs 20,000 crore (Rs 200 billion) over the next 10 years to modernise and expand our capacity to execute orders valued at Rs 100,000 crore (Rs 1 trillion). We plan to raise funds internally (about Rs 1,500 crore) and from the market through a combination of equity and debt instruments than depend on the government for capital investments," Shivamurti said.
As a global player in the aerospace industry, the Rs 11,500-crore HAL makes various types of fixed wing aircraft under licensed production, rotary wing choppers and sub-systems primarily for the Indian Air Force (IAF), Army and Navy and Coast Guard.
"Though we have about Rs 9,000 crore in reserves and excellent credit rating to borrow in the debt market, we feel it`s time to tap the public for raising additional funds to meet our present and future investment requirements," Shivamurti added.
The company has projected a turnover of Rs.12,600 crore for this fiscal (2010-11).

A group of students boarded two buses in Parkland this afternoon and are headed for Tallahassee to try to get legislators to consider changes in Florida's gun laws.
The roughly 100 students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, four survivors from the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, and members of news organizations left about 1:45 p.m. from a mall not far from the school, site of last Wednesday's mass shooting that left 17 dead.
A third bus was also planned to head north for the trip.
A group of students from West Boca High School left classes early Tuesday and many made the 12-mile walk to support Douglas.
Kendrick Hong, a 14-year-old freshman from West Boca, explained how the West Boca High kids decided to march.
He said West Boca High was having a moment of silence for Douglas, which was to last 17 minutes, but kids just got frustrated and they said, "let's go!"
He said school security tried to stop them but it "just turned into a spontaneous demonstration."
"It's just amazing that all of us just did it."
"I just didn't feel anyone was doing anything about guns," said Hong, who walked about 4 ½ miles before getting a ride to Douglas.
>>WEST BOCA: Students leave school early and march to Douglas
Hong believes about 90 percent of the school took part in the walk.
"We are supporting a cause. That's what so amazing," said freshman Joey Courtney, 14.
Courtney said some teachers are marching with the students "because they don't feel safe either because of the lack of gun laws."
"No one should be afraid to go to school," Hong said.
Rebeca Rojas, 14, a freshman at West Boca, said: "We have a right to protest. President Trump needs to know that he needs to make a law so that someone can't get guns so easily."
West Boca High Principal Craig Sommer walked with the kids.
"Focusing on the positive, I'm really proud of the students that walked more than 10 miles to stand up for what they believe in," he said.
"The kids exercised their democratic right and they really don't tolerate a lack of safety and we're going to do our best to provide that for them.
"And another positive is the Douglas family expressed how much better this makes them feel."

* The Julia Fractal family is my personal favorite. This class is to show and
* explain the math behind it. It can be very complicated, so I will try to
* explain it as best as I can. This is NOT meant to be a comrehensive guide
* to Fractals, or the Julia Set. This is only to help you understand how it
* works. This is a VERY simple example, and is for educational purposes only.
* Please do not claim this as your own, or submit it as your own work.
* Please excuse any spelling errors you may find. I'm a programmer, not a speller.
* Complex Numbers are the key to fractals. A complex number is in the form:
* a+bi, where a & b are real numbers, and i = sqrt(-1).
* Generating fractals involves doing math in the Complex Plane. You can think
* of the Complex Plane in the following way:
* i-values
* |
* |* (1+6i)
* |
* | * (2+4i)
* |
* | *(x+yi)
* |_ _ _ _ _ _ real values.
* The i-values (imaginary values) go up & down the "y" axis, and the real numbers
* go out along the "x" axis. (Note that I only drew the one quadrant, all four
* are used).
* The Julia Set is created by putting each point through an algorithm, and adding
* it to the set by determining how close it is to infinity. If the threshold^2
* is less than the Magnitude of the Complex Number (where magnitude = a^2 + b^2),
* the point is added to the set. The iteration value determins how many times the
* point is put through the algorithm. Putting it through more times, and making
* the threshold much smaller, leads to cleaner images, but they take longer to create.
* The values in this example give a good depiction of a Julia Set.

When Rod Ferrell was 16, (or 500 as he tells it. You see, he's a vampire) he took a little road trip to Florida with some friends and went to visit his ex girlfriend. He ended up brutally murdering the ex-girlfriend's parents. The teens then decided to go to New Orleans because that's where all vampires go, but only made it as far as Baton Rouge before being arrested for the murders and extradited back to Florida.
This unique artwork was done by Rod prior to his arrest. On the back Rod has written Nightmare the holder of the shadow orb, and signed it in full "By Rod Ferrell". It was obtained directly from his mother.
