Here is what you should do if you purchased your domain from GoDaddy...
First, you only need the domain, nothing else. We host your website for you. They will try to upsell domain privacy and business features... not needed!
You don't need to get email, unless you want a custom email that links to your domain, but it will be through GoDaddy and not through RxGYM so be aware of that. Our suggestion is to keep whatever email you have, like GMail or Yahoo or Hotmail and if you want to add email through the domain, you can do that later, but keep it simple at first.
Once you have the domain, you will need to point it via a DNS Zone File 'A' record. Our server's IP address is 126.96.36.199 so look at the screenshot below to see how to point your domain using an 'A' DNS record. If there is already an 'A' record with Host = '@' then modify that one. You don't want two with the same host.
Once you have this DNS Zone File record saved, let us know the exact domain name and we will make sure everything is working on our end to resolve that domain to your website.
If you have more than one domain, do the same and they will all point to the same RxGYM site. If you have an old domain, you can use the 'forward permanently' option so users see the new domain, but don't use the 'forward-with-masking' option... it uses frames to accomplish this, and frames cause problems with search engines as well as potential security/cookie problems, just avoid 'forward-with-masking' if possible.
As always, if you have questions, we are here to help.

I am making a rpg game, and I am wondering how to implement a network framework like netty. Do I just move the .jar into there and add some position updater and make it show the other players? Btw is there any other networking frameworks that is more easy to use, and easy to implement?

Million Mums is an exciting new campaign to raise awareness about maternal and newborn health – all over the world. The aims of the Million Mums campaign are simple: to join together a million people (or more), to raise a million pounds (at least), to provide a united voice to speak out against preventable maternal mortality. Million Mums will be a key part of Glastonbury Festival's range of "good causes" this year, with a big presence in The Park, as well as eye catching "tattoo" messaging all over site.
Says Festival organiser Emily Eavis: "I've been working closely with the White Ribbon Alliance over the last year, and the Million Mums campaign is in direct support of the brilliant work they are doing. The Festival will be a great opportunity to really raise awareness of the work that urgently needs to be done."
The Million Mums Tattoo Parlour
At Glastonbury this year the Million Mums team have decided to bring you the chance to give the ultimate tribute in the form of an 'I love my mum ' style temporary tattoo, as well as some much needed TLC with an on site masseuse, lots of lovely music and flapjacks and tea for the lucky ones.
Festival goers will also be able to add their name to the Million Mums campaign at the information stalls all over the site and send postcards home to their mums. Please come and visit us at our tent in The Park (next to the Rabbit Hole), or go to one of the Information Points to sign your name in support of the campaign. This will help to provide the White Ribbon Alliance with a united voice to assist their advocacy work around the world and speak out against these needless deaths.
Did you know?
· Every minute of every day, somewhere in the world, a woman dies due to pregnancy and birth related complications
·In Africa and Asia, pregnancy and childbirth are the number one causes of death amongst women of childbearing age, killing more than half a million women each year and leaving an estimated 2 million children motherless
·Over 80% of these deaths are preventable – women are dying needlessly, not for lack of a cure, but because they can't get healthcare

Home. Ask Anji Ramsey who painted or upholstered her car and she'll respond, "In which decade?" This dynamite little T roadster has a history going back to the early '40s, and for most of the intervening years, it has belonged to her family.
When grandfather Marlin "Heggie" Hegendeffer picked it up from fellow rodder Paul Wordig more than six decades ago, the bones consisted of a '25 T truck frame bearing a '26 roadster body without a turtle deck. Resting in the engine bay was a rare Hispano-Suiza V8. Since none of Heggie's buddies knew anything about this big and exotic powerplant, he put the engine aside, planning on a state-of-the-day flathead for motivation. When he and his brother-in-law, Ray Schultz, started to build the hot rod, they had no final result in mind, other than attracting customers to Heggie's chrome shop, Electro Plating Works of Vallejo, California. Thus did he lavish chrome on everything. As a member of the Cal-Neva Roadster Association, Heggie raced the T on dry lakes with a hot 297-inch Merc Flatmotor equipped with a S.Co.T. supercharger and later on pavement when the club turned to drag racing in the '50s, changing its name to the Cal-Neva Timing Association.
This hot rod and race car was also a certifiable show car. If the T seems familiar, you might've seen it featured in Rod & Custom (Feb. '58), or Rod Builder & Customizer (Jul. '59). Additionally, a Spotlite customizing book about interiors showed the R&P- upholstered firewall, and individual photos appeared in show coverage over the years in HOT ROD. Its first paintjob was deep purple. Because the practically one-piece interior could be unsnapped and pulled out somewhat easily, the upholstery alternated between off-white and rose, just to appear fresh at different shows. We're guessing it wasn't too expensive to trim the T, because later on, another owner had the interior done in white with a spiderweb motif in the '80s.
Anji's dad and grandfather pulled the flathead in 1963 and installed a 390-inch Cadillac in front of a four-speed Hydramatic in hopes of better luck at the drags, eventually topping it off with a 4-71 GMC blower. Tom and Tim Gill, Anji's great uncle and cousin, took over stewardship of the T in 1968 and went the show route, though they replaced the chromed Ford banjo rearend with a chromed Chevy assembly to better handle the Caddy's torque. In 1970, they had Rich Erickson paint the car pearl white with then-in-vogue psychedelic swirls and blends that helped earn class honors at the Oakland Roadster Show.
Perhaps because Oakland rules dictated that no winner could return without major modifications, the Gills let their family heirloom get away in the '70s, after which the T dropped out of sight until Anji's friends found it in 1997. She was determined to restore it as much as possible to her grandfather's version. The Cad engine had survived all those decades, minus its blower. Luckily, the vintage car magazines she found that featured the car had pictured nearly every detail. She also enjoyed assistance from her father, George Ramsey, and members of Vallejo's Swanx Car Club—whose charter members in 1956 included great-uncle Rick Pilling. (Yes, it is the same club recently pictured in both the Mar. '11 HRD and Apr. '11 HRM.) As often happened in those days, the Swanx lasted only until 1960. As sometimes happens these days, the club reformed in 1997—just in time for its members to aid a granddaughter's search for this seminal car from the group's glory days, then help bring it back to life.
"I never knew my grandfather because he passed away before I was a year old," Anji explains. "But having his car back in the family has been the best feeling. I love driving it to shows and events. I sometimes sense my grandpa sitting next to me, telling me to go faster."★

The "King of Queens" is setting up shop on Long Island.
Kevin James' new sitcom for CBS, "Kevin Can Wait," will be shot entirely at Bethpage's Gold Coast Studios.
The show will be the first network prime-time series to originate from a Long Island-based facility, according to Newsday.
The studios are on the property of a former defense contractor that built the lunar module that first landed men on the moon in 1969.
James, who starred in "The King of Queens" on CBS from 1998 to 2007, is a native Long Islander, raised in Stony Brook.
The series cast also includes local standup comics Joey Kola and Chris Roach.
The nearby Grumman Studios has played host to several televised Broadway productions, including "The Wiz Live!" last November.

Forest Watch Ahtanum Run (Oct 24, 2010)
Yakima/Kittitas Forest Watch
Ahtanum Watch Run
October 24, 2010
On Sunday October 24th, 2010 we did a one rig Forest Watch Run at the Ahtanum State Forest.
Here are a few pictures of the day.
A nice Fall day at the Ahtanum State Forest.
Checking out the Ahtanum Sno-park.
There were a few Hunters Camps but no one around.
We next headed up the Mid Fork Road.
It started snowing on the way up. It was starting to accumulate by Tree Phones Campground and the road was white just up the road.
It got a little slick so we just went as far as Eagle Nest.
We turned on to the Eagle Nest Vista Loop and parked near the trail head.
My new dog Ranger wasn't sure about the white stuff at first.
The kids wanted out to play. Of course they did not have their snow gear.
Sami had to run the tire tracks to get around.
Here Sami is trying follow Ranger.
Not bad amount of snow at Eagle Nest for this time of year.
We did not stay long at Eagle Nest since the wind starting to snow drift the road down.
Down at Tree Phone the snow was coming a lot more than when we past through earlier.
I had to get a fall picture of the Mid Fork on the way down.
We past through the Ahtanum Sno-park and headed up A2400. We found the user made trail we block off two weeks before was reopened. Good place for the trail cam since some does not want to follow the rules.
Up at Red Saddle there was a trace of snow.
Taking a look down Sedge Ridge 4x4 Trail.
We headed on down and out the South Fork Road.
On this day we saw a lot of camps but no one around.
We did pass one pickup on A2400. It was a quiet day at the Ahtanum State Forest.

So I bought my old roommate's Thiel CS2s from him, becoming the second owner. When I moved in, he was running them, and I've heard them long before I ever bought them.
The grilles were always unremovable as long as I'd been around.
Well, I pulled them out of storage to put into the customer lounge at the shop. Tom pulled the grilles off. They had been double-stick taped on.
The tweeter opening is pretty carefully routed into the MDF grille frame. Hard to tell how BOTH tweeter domes got pushed in.
No idea how long they'd been like that, either. Can't tell if it was a pissed future-ex-girlfriend or roommate ten years ago, or before my friend got them (Supposedly NIB from local dealer, but dealers have done worse).
Pulled the tweeters, Dyn D-28 AF, no longer made, doesn't have replaceable VCs. Thiel has a few on hand of what replaced the D-28 AF for $135 each, but states that Morel has a direct replacement. Madisound said the best replacement was the MDT32, since it has the 110mm faceplate.
So put them in, mounting them with double-stick tape since the hole centers don't align (will drill out the cabinets if I keep them).
There is definitely a slight improvement in the treble. Not as much as I'd hoped - this room is really bright, I was hoping the new tweeters would help out more with that than they did.
But here's the difference I did not expect:
These speakers have always imaged low for me. I've had to slouch down to get the image where I'd like it. I have a long torso - I'm 6'4" sitting down and 6'0" standing up, I've been told - so I've ascribed this effect to that.
But now that I've put these tweeters in, I get a slightly higher image.
I'm wondering if the old bashed-in tweeters had a 4-5k peak and these have a lower output in that range?
Any suggestions? (Which don't involve me taking it apart and putting the old D28s in for comparison?)

Inspired by conversations on the FOOD52 Hotline, we're sharing tips and tricks that make navigating all of our kitchens easier and more fun. Today, how to achieve personal fried-egg perfection. Emphasis on the personal.
As we all learn at some point in our lives, perfection is futile. It's unattainable. It simply doesn't exist.
That is, until we're talking about fried eggs.
You see, fried eggs are a very personal matter. An egg, like a painting, a sculpture, or even a poem, can be a work of art – and art, of course, is subjective. There isn't the right kind of fried egg, no correct way to cook it, no guidebook or recipe or even a textbook. There's just an egg, a bit of fat, some heat. A sprinkle of salt, and buttered toast.
When it comes to fried eggs, there are many versions of perfection. We're here to help you find yours.
The soft, delicate, loving methodYields: soft, spoon-able white, runny yolkHeat a non-stick or cast iron pan on high for one minute, then melt a pat of butter. Crack an egg in the pool of butter and turn the heat to medium. Pour in a small amount of water (around a half tablespoon) and cover the pan with a lid for 30 seconds, letting the egg steam. When the white is set, slide the egg onto a plate and season with salt.
The take-no-prisoners methodYields: crispy, browned bottom, crispy edges, runny yolkHeat a non-stick or cast iron pan to high, high heat. Pour in a generous amount of olive oil, and heat until it shimmers. Crack in an egg and turn the heat down, then spoon the hot fat over the egg white until it's just set (focusing on the area of white just around the yolk). Or, if you're feeling a little crazy, simply cover the pan after cracking the egg, then slide it out when the white's set and crispy. Season, of course, with salt.
The press-down methodYields: crispy white, runny yolkHeat a half tablespoon of butter in a small non-stick pan over medium high heat. When the butter is sizzling but nowhere near smoking, crack 1 egg into the pan. Season with salt and pepper. As soon as the edges look brown and crackly, gently flip the egg. With your spatula, press on the thicker areas of white near the yolk so that they flood into the pan and cook quickly. Season again with salt and pepper. As soon as your whites are set, slide the egg onto one piece of toast.
The animal-style methodYields: crispy edges and bottom, runny yolk, slightly porky finishHeat a non-stick or cast iron pan to medium-high heat with about a tablespoon-worth of sausage or bacon fat. Cook using the take-no-prisoners or press-down method.
The oven (!) method (from Saltie: A Cookbook)Yields: Browned bottom, speckled top. Runny yolk.Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Heat around a tablespoon of olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat. When the oil is warm but not hot, crack the egg gently into the pan and cook without disturbing just until the white starts to set. Transfer to the oven and bake until the white sets completely, around 3 minutes.
The I-have-no-concern-about-how-much-oil-I'm-using methodYields: Brown, crunchy sphere of white, runny yolkCheck out this slideshow from The New York Times, which features how Jose Andres fries his egg. Prepare to be amazed.
Since we now know that perfection comes in both crispy edges and soft, on the stove or in the oven, with butter and olive oil and bacon fat, we decided to ask some of our friends for their personal views of perfection – and their method to achieving it.
Kristina Huber, from Vetri in Philadelphia: "I always make them the same way. Just enough olive oil to lube the pan. Your intentions for your eggs are important. If you'd like a delicately plated sunny side up, you should keep the heat fairly moderate. The egg is done just as the last bit of whites cook through. If you need an egg with more of a backbone, use higher heat and a bit more fat. Halfway through cooking flip the egg and continue cooking on the other side just until the whites are set. This will produce a crusty top, bottom, and edges that will hold up on a sandwich. Season, season, season! No salt on a luscious runny egg yolk is a heartbreaking experience."
Aki Kamozawa, from Ideas in Food: "To be honest our perfect fried egg is more steamed than fried. As fans of eggs with soft, runny yolks and fully cooked whites we've found that gentle heat and a cover make much better eggs than even the best version of over easy. We put a tablespoon of butter in a saute pan set over low heat. Once the butter melts we swirl the pan to coat the bottom and break in the eggs. We prefer to use salted butter here for flavor but if we only have sweet we add a light sprinkling of salt to the bottom of the pan before adding the eggs. We do this so that they are seasoned on both sides and have flavor no matter which side hits your tongue first. Then we season them lightly on top, cover them and let them cook for 4-5 minutes until the whites are just cooked through and the yolks are still mostly liquid. When we remove them from the pan, the majority of the butter is left behind and the flavor has permeated the eggs. The gentle heat from above and below results in eggs with a delicate, silky texture that helps emphasize their sweet delicious flavor. These are eggs to be eaten slowly with good toast and are happily enjoyed at any time of day."
Amanda Li, from the home team (she's our developer): "The best eggs I've ever had were cooked in a wok with gracious amounts of oil. The curved wok bottom makes a well for the egg so it doesn't spread into weird shapes. It also cooks the egg a lot faster than a regular frying pan. Flipping is optional."
Melissa Hamilton and Christopher Hirscheimer from Canal House Cooking:"There are two ways we like to make fried eggs. The first way is in good olive oil with a big pinch of pimenton, the smoky Spanish paprika. We pour a few glugs of the oil into a heavy skillet, cast iron is ideal. We warm the oil over medium heat, add the pimenton, then crack the egg into the hot oil. Once the white of the egg begins to turn opaque, we tilt the skillet and start basting the egg, spooning the hot oil over the yolk so that the thin film of egg white covering the yolk cooks. We like our yolks runny but don't like it when the white covering the yolks remains slippery and clear. As the egg white cooks in the bubbling oil, it puffs and then gets crisp around the edges. Once the white is fully opaque and the egg yolk soft and runny, it just needs a pinch of course salt. And a good piece of bread to sop up the yolk and the deep brick orange-stained oil. Why's it perfect? Because it's delicious. It's rich, savory, soft, runny, chewy, and crisp. Full of flavor.
The second way is fried in butter, actually basted in butter. This preparation relies on really good butter. We prefer Kerry Gold Irish butter, salted or unsalted, and very fresh eggs. Though it isn't always possible, it is lovely to fry one egg at a time so that all the cook's attention is centered on the few moments that it takes to transform the egg. We melt two tablespoons of butter in a heavy skillet with sloping sides over medium heat until it is gently foaming. While the butter melts, crack the freshest egg available into a saucer then slide it into the foaming butter. Adjust the heat so that it is low enough that the butter doesn't brown, but hot enough that the white begins to set. Begin spooning the hot butter over the eggs until the runny whites turn opaque and the yolk sets slightly. While all this is happening toast a piece of bread until it's golden, then butter it. Slide the basted egg on top of the toast and season it with freshly ground black pepper and a sprinkle of Maldon salt. And regardless of the hour we pour ourselves a tiny glass of Beaujolais to sip as we savor our egg."
What is your version of fried-egg perfection, and how do you achieve it?

The Fall of the House of Waxman
While others wish the new Congress well today on its swearing-in, I plan to light a 100-watt incandescent bulb and hoist a caffeinated alcoholic beverage in honor of a different milestone: starting today, the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee will no longer be under the control of Henry Waxman (D-Calif.).
Some lawmakers can talk a decent game about lean 'n' smart regulation, but no one ever accused Waxman of having a light touch. (The 900-page Waxman-Markey environmental bill, mercifully killed by the Senate, included provisions letting Washington rewrite local building codes.) He's known for aggressive micromanagement even of agencies run by putative allies: his staff has repeatedly twisted the ears of Obamanaut appointees to complain that their approach to regulation is too moderate and gradual. More than any other lawmaker on the Hill, he's stood in the way of any meaningful reform of the 2008 CPSIA law, which piles impractical burdens on small makers of children's products, thrift stores, bicycles and others.
Like his predecessor, Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.), Waxman and his subcommittee chairs have famously used hearings as a club to discipline interest groups that don't cooperate. Last spring he menaced large employers with hearings after several of them announced (contrary to some predictions) that ObamaCare was going to hurt their bottom lines. In September, subcommittee chair Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) announced hearings on regulating precious-metal companies, in a remarkable press release that devoted much attention to the firms' role in sponsoring "several conservative pundits … including Glenn Beck, Mike Huckabee, Laura Ingraham, and Fred Thompson. By drumming up public fears during financially uncertain times, conservative pundits are able to drive a false narrative," the release said. In other words, the committee was investigating private firms in part because it disapproved of their advertising on, and reinforcing the economic message of, conservative talk shows. Didn't anyone on Weiner's staff have a sudden overhead flash about the whole "First Amendment" idea? Or had that particular light bulb been banned too?
The committee was an unending source of ghastly new legislative proposals for regulatory manacles to be fastened on one or another sector of the economy , ideas that with any luck we may now be spared for the next two years. Thus it appears unlikely that the Republican-led committee will give its blessing to something called the Safe Cosmetics Act of 2010 (H.R. 5786), introduced by Reps. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.), and Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.), which -- by mandating that all compounds found in personal-care items at any detectable level be expensively tested for and disclosed on labels -- could have added tens of thousands of dollars of cost overhead to that little herbal-soap business your sister is trying to start in her garage. (Fragrance expert Robert Tisserand explains why most small personal-care product makers would not survive if the bill passed). Nor is it likely that the new leadership of chairman Fred Upton (R-Mich.) will be in a hurry to adopt Rep. Schakowsky's H.R. 1408, the Inclusive Home Design Act, which would mandate handicap accessibility features in most new private homes.
I look forward to learning more about the plans of Rep. Upton and his new majority colleagues. For today, however, it's enough just to know that they are Not Henry Waxman.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind.- The Harvard women's water
polo team dropped two games on the first day of the Elite Eight
Tournament. The Crimson fell to Maryland in the opening round and
to Princeton in the consolation semifinals.
Harvard opened the day with a 13-10 loss at the hands of Maryland. The Crimson trailed 4-2 after the first quarter and 6-3 heading into halftime. Harvard stormed out of the locker room to tie the score at 7-7 going into the fourth quarter. The Terrapins managed to outscore the Crimson, 6-3, in the final eight minutes to walk away with the win. Ita Barton-Kettleborough, Devan Kennifer and freshman Aisha Price all recorded hat tricks in the match. Lizzie Abbott also buried a marker in the game. Laurel McCarthy turned aside four shots against Maryland.
The Crimson played fellow Ivy Leaguer Princeton later in the day. The two teams each scored a pair of goals in the opening eight minutes of play. The Tigers owned a 6-5 advantage after the first half. Harvard stayed within striking distance in the third quarter, trailing 8-6 going into the fourth quarter. The Crimson was unable to find the back of the net in the fourth quarter. Barton-Kettleborough turned in her second three-goal performance of the day. Abbott, Kennifer and Price each tallied a goal apiece for Harvard. McCarthy made seven saves between the pipes. The Crimson falls to 7-5 on the year.
Harvard will close out the weekend against Bucknell, tomorrow at 10 a.m.

Former Dodgers owner testifies in fan beating case
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Former Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt has begun testifying in a lawsuit against him and the team resulting from the devastating beating of a San Francisco Giants fan at Dodger Stadium in 2011.
A lawyer for victim Bryan Stow asked McCourt on Friday whether he had hands-on involvement in security matters.
McCourt said he did not.
McCourt did acknowledge making public statements saying that a quality and safe fan experience is a core value of the Dodgers.
He testified that he suggested the drafting of a fan code of conduct, which was adopted.
Stow suffered severe brain damage in the beating by two Dodgers fans who pleaded guilty to criminal charges. The attack occurred in a parking lot after an Opening Day game between the California rivals.

When you think about child labour, chances are your first thoughts aren't "Wow! Awesome!" And if they are, you're probably a monster. Perhaps the sole exception is if you're thinking of this video. Granted, this is dangerous, and no kid should be doing this, but damned if it isn't impressive how competent the little guy is.
I can't imagine the thought process of the person who decide to just film this, or the one who put him behind the wheel in the first place, but man. I couldn't drive a car that well when I was a teenager. Hopefully he can just manage to stay safe long enough to be the best damn adult bulldozer driver there ever was. [Reddit]

Dyeing Fiber with Kool-Aid in a Slow Cooker
Packets of unsweetened Kool-Aid (or similar powdered beverage products) contain all the ingredients you need for an acid dye bath: citric acid crystals and food coloring. Slow cookers are perfect for simmering small batches of fiber. Because the fibers steep in a heated bath of color for a long time, the shades are deep and intense. Several colors added one at a time produce exciting results.
The following demonstration uses washed mohair locks to produce a basket of rainbow-dyed fiber for spinning. You can substitute similar amounts of wool locks, roving, or yarn for the same process.
While Kool-Aid dyeing is very safe, you must still follow safety guidelines for acid dyes. Once you use a slow cooker for dyeing fiber, dedicate it to that purpose.
To complete this project, gather these materials:
Approximately 8 ounces (227g) Mohair locks, wetted out in advance
Unsweetened Kool-Aid (or similar unsweetened powdered drink mix): 2 packages orange, 2 packages cherry, and 1 package grape
Slow cooker dedicated to dyeing use
Plastic spoon
Pyrex measuring cup
Add 1⁄2 cup (125ml) water to the slow cooker (or enough to cover the bottom of the pot with 1 inch of water).
Mix 2 packages of orange Kool-Aid with 1 cup (250ml) room-temperature water.
Mix 1 package of cherry Kool-Aid with 1 cup (250ml) water.
Stack the damp mohair locks in the slow cooker.
It's okay to crowd the pot since you will not stir this dye bath. Plug in the pot and set the temperature to high.
Start with the lightest color. Pour the orange dye slowly over one half of the fiber in the slow cooker. Place the lid on the pot.
Wait about 20 minutes, giving the pot time to heat and the fiber a chance to absorb the orange. Then add the cherry dye to other side of the pot, pouring slowly and evenly.
Wait 20 minutes more, then sprinkle 2 teaspoons of the cherry powder over the top of the pot using a plastic spoon. Replace the lid and let the fibers steep.
Wait another 20 minutes and then sprinkle 2 teaspoons of the grape powder lightly across the top of the pot. Replace the lid and let the pot simmer for an hour or until all the dye has been absorbed.
The water should be clear at the end of the process.
Allow the pot to cool completely and then rinse the fiber.

Dear teachers,
Thank you very much for your help last time.
I asked three English natives whether the following English sentences sound natural or not. (I used 'sound' instead of 'sounded' here. Am I right? Or maybe both is right?) Sometimes they disagree with each other and I have no idea whose opinion I should follow. Could you help me to decide to make up my mind?
1. Sentences a) and b) are correct. Do you accept a sentence c)?
a) It was in this year that the war broke out.
b) It was this year that the war broke out.
c) It was (in) this year when the war broke out.
2. I think a sentence a) is good while b) is not. One native accepts a sentence b). Do you agree with her?
a) Planes took off one after another.
b) Planes took off one after the other.
3. I think a sentence a) is good. How about a sentence b)?
a) Pick out one of the following topics.
b) Pick out one from the following topics.
4. One native explained to me that I can use both 'move to' and 'move out to' when 'he' moves to another state like California. But I can only use 'move to' when 'he' moves to the place except state such as 'move to Los Angeles. The other told me I can use both 'move to' and 'move out to' Los Angeles. Which opinion should I follow?
a) He's decided to move to Los Angeles for good.
b) He's decided to move out to California for good.
Thank you for your help. I'm very grateful.
Best wishes,

My son is a new driver and he broke the front passenger head and side light on his 1994 Subaru by getting close to a much larger pick-up truck. After a couple of trips to the local wrecking yard to look for crash parts, we were able to find the headlight, but not the side light. I was able to easily locate the part on the Go-Parts website, and it was available as a new part at a very reasonable price. The part was shipped quickly and well packed. We were able to install the side light the next day. By using a used headlight from the wrecking yard and a very reasonably priced new part from Go-Parts, my son was able to turn his $200+ lesson in being more careful when pulling out of tight places into a $100 lesson. Not bad for his first accident.

Let $L$ be a language in $NP$. Then are there any results on whether there exists a polynomial-time algorithm (polynomial in the length of the description of $L$) to decide whether $L \in P$? Are there any results on the hardness of the search version of the problem vs. the decision version?
The only result I can think of is that $P=NP$ implies the existence of such an algorithm since then an algorithm which outputs $True$ everytime works.

Social Media Marketing in Lebanon: EXOTICA Makes a Move!
February 9, 2010 in Begginer SM Tips, Corporate marketing, Events & Promotions, Lebanon - Business, Lebanon Events, Social Media Marketing | Tags: advertisement, advertising, beirut, blogging, brand identity, branding, corporate identity, Corporate marketing, corporate social responsibility, exotica, ivysblog, lebanon, marketing, media, new, social media campaigns, Social Media Marketing, twitter, user engagement, valentines | 6 comments
Today, IVY was giving dating advice on twitter and asking people for feedback on her make a move rose giveaway and planning a tweetup dinner.
Yesterday, at the table, we sat arguing for around 20 minutes whether IVY is real or not.
The whole week before, people were passionately interacting with IVY on twitter…
Two weeks ago, Ivy registered to attend a tweetup and blogged about it.
And the truth of the matter is that we shouldn't care if IVY is real or not. We should be happy that companies have finally understood the language of digital natives and is creating campaigns that resonate and interact with us, as well as the other poor mere mortals. After EXOTICA's unexciting Different Christmas campaign, that even failed to point us to the blog on their billboards, Leo Burnett, Exotica's ad agency, reviewed all of its mistakes and came up with something with a phenomenal snowball effect. Yes, as I said before my friends, social media marketing is sparking to life in the middle east and you are either with us, or eaten by the competition.
Things to learn from Exotica's IvySays Project.
1- Give and you shall receive
The IVY we have come to know and love is a giver. She started by giving us dating advise, which though we may not all apply, but we all loved and we felt compelled single people everywhere felt compelled to try out Ivy's moves and then… Ivy slipped a rose into our hands and made it all the more easier. Think about your clients, think about what they need. And even if you are B2B business, think: Do your they need education, help, comfort, care, empowerment? All of us do, don't we? Now how can you use all that your expertise to help them, regardless of your product?
2-Engage and you shall be engaged
Before IVY got to her first post, she got a twitter account and after that, she did not just re-tweet her own posts, she replied to people, she talked to them, shared her opinions on outside issues, gave them advice and encouragement. There was no pushing her message or asking for anything for herself. That is why, when IVY asked questions she got enormous feedback, even from those who were in doubt about her true identity. And that is value you will not be able to leverage unless you create a genuine online persona [not to be confused with a retweet bot].
3-Go where they go, do what they do!
Ivy blogged about various creeks and corners in Beirut, be in Kayan, Greedy Goose or Le Grey, and that is what made her connect and resonate with her audience. Ivy did not blog about flowers she blogged about fashion, make-up, glamor, plastic surgery, national pride, chocolate- SUGAR, SPICE and EVERYTHING NICE – and we all like nice things. Then again, she went to twitter to reach digital natives and, mind you, she even guest blogged and re-blogged it on her own site. Did IVY ask girls to go to EXOTICA to get the flowers? No, they went out to the most up and coming place – Gemmayze, Achrafieh and Hamra. The only thing that could've been done differently would be giving out roses all around Lebanon, and not just Beirut.
4-Empower and you shall be empowered
Even if they did not comment, retweet or send emails, thought they actively do, with every dating tip IVY empowered ladies to take actions. Girls, being the gossip machines they are, would discuss it – which means GOING VIRAL offline. And then again with every rose given out to a guy Exotica created a positive sentiment, that is teh first step to along lasting relationship, not with the guy, but with the brand. And come 2011 I expect more girls to send out flowers to beau's, and now, not because they[roses] are free, but because it makes them feel good. And this is the golden key to any successful brand. And did I mention the publicity, Ivy's campaign is getting from mainstream media?
5-Going against the current and bringing the currents together
There are two stakeholders in any relationship – MAN & WOMAN. Exotica's outdoors visuals empowered men, by teasing them with images of women they could have had in 2o09 if only they were brave enough. While Ivy, took a less traditional approach, and she looked to empower women. Mind you, women are not traditionally the ones we think first of when we think about selling flowers, right? But then again, I have seen countless times flowers being delivered to men at our offices from girlfriends, wives or wanna-bes. And then again, think of it, if a girl gives a guy one rose before valentine, and the guy likes the girl, on Valentine he will get her no less than a bouquet and what will his 1st choice be? Certainly EXOTICA. So you see, by bringing people together and spreading love Exotica may actually have record sales on February 14.
Finally, I want to congratulate Exotica on the Brilliant Initiative and hope that IVY , whoever she is, continues blogging even after February 14, otherwise the digital natives all around, both those who think IVY is Real and Fake, will feel beguiled and disappointed.
Googling I found this song called IVY SAYS, I wonder if it had anything to do with the origin of the campaign.

Dear Everybody,
Beleive me this is a noisy and happy camp tonight, and I guess it will continue to be until Thursday of this week, when we are pretty sure we are going home. You see they have been holding the good news back, and we wouldn't know any thing of it now unless the Boston papers didn't get it. One of the boys got a Post dated Sept. 15 which said that we would spend our last Sunday here Sept. 17. I asked my Capt. what he thought of it and he spoke the same as he has always spoke, "All Bull." Well if this Brigade don't leave this place by Saturday 23 there will be a hot time in El Paso. I guess there is going to be anyway.
I got your (Em's) card today, and I hope you don't send any more, for we may be on our way now while you are reading this letter.

Soon as a saw this post I tried to find a book I heard about on Pacifica radio written by a white man from the south on how slavery endured well into the 1940s and 1950s in the south in the form of forced labor bourne by black men in the prison system. Cant find it.
I will say that despite the inequities in our legal system and other societal inequities, most people still largely have the ability to avoid choosing actions that land one in prison. So that would be a difference.
But I agree that there is a huge economic incentive in the prison business
Ok, thanks for you opinion James.
I would not saying you are wrong in your analogy, but I have to address some things regarding your post.
Yes, prisoners do need something to do all day, however, when you make prison profitable, you are asking for trouble!!! Incarceration becomes big business!!! Charging an inmate slave wages to do work. WINNING! For the Corp, that is. Prisons are suppose provide some type of rehabilitation. Tho, not much of that happens, because there is no money in the cure. Like the pharmaceutical (sp?) companies, there's no money in the cure!!!!
And yes, prisons house all races. However, the statistics shows that more Black are incarcerated while Whites are given things like probation, for the same exact crimes!!!!!!!! So yes, prisons house all races but statistics show, if you go before a judge, and you are non White, you are more likely to be incarcerated.

Lee County should not raid Conservation 20/20
September 4, 2013
After saying no to a similar proposal in April of 2011, the Lee County Board of County Commissioners is again looking to tap tax dollars earmarked for the purchase of environmentally sensitive land....
If Lee County wants to fence off land for "conservation", they need only look at theirvown books. Drive around Lee County and look at all the vacant land with signs posted Lee County School Board property. Acres and acres of it. How about this? Rather than fencing off more vacant land and restricting tax payer access, use what you already have! All it takes is an egret feeding in a drainage ditch for some enviro whacko to claim it sensitive land anyway.

Committee Opinion Number 722, October 2017
(Replaces Committee Opinion No. 637, July 2015) (Reaffirmed 2019)
ABSTRACT: Cannabis sativa (marijuana) is the illicit drug most commonly used during pregnancy. The self-reported prevalence of marijuana use during pregnancy ranges from 2% to 5% in most studies. A growing number of states are legalizing marijuana for medicinal or recreational purposes, and its use by pregnant women could increase even further as a result. Because of concerns regarding impaired neurodevelopment, as well as maternal and fetal exposure to the adverse effects of smoking, women who are pregnant or contemplating pregnancy should be encouraged to discontinue marijuana use. Obstetri...
Committee Opinion Number 533, August 2012
(Reaffirmed 2018)
Abstract: Prenatal lead exposure has known adverse effects on maternal health and infant outcomes across a wide range of maternal blood lead levels. Adverse effects of lead exposure are being identified at lower levels of exposure than previously recognized in both children and adults. In 2010, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued the first guidelines regarding the screening and management of pregnant and lactating women who have been exposed to lead.

The World Wide Web introduced me to Art Comes First lifestyle. From what I could gather this was a design duo living in Europe with immaculate personal style. When I met them last summer at Pitti Uomo in Florence, Italy we automatically clicked because they seemed like humble down-to-earth creatives. Out of curiosity, I dig deeper to learn more about the gents behind the brand. So when Sam and Shaka was in New York for the Liberty trade show, I took the opportunity to document and interview them while they showed their latest collection.
Tell Us About Yourself
Sam Lambert: I was born in Angola and grow up between Spain and UK. Father was a bespoke tailor and mother was a trader who traveled everywhere.
Shaka Maidoh: My father's a Sartor from West African and mother's a retired nurse from the West Indies. I was born and bred in West London and have lived in various places in between.
How did you guys become a design team and why a focus on menswear?
How did you guys become a design team and why a focus on menswear?
Sam: I became a designer after my photograph studies. It was more out of necessity to dress myself with the right garment which fitted right and had right fabrication. I used to be around vintage market a lot when I moved to London so i end up customising everything I would buy, just by remembering what my dad used to do with thread,needle and scissors. The focus on menswear was really more like a self test almost like a mad scientist trying medicine on himself first.
Shaka: The team dynamics sparked off from common interests in vintage, traditions, cultures, hobbies and really a need to create. Creation became a necessity where the end product translated to piece of clothing, art pieces, personal wardrobe and what have you and hence menswear as it was initially and mainly personal.
Where are some of the places you pull inspiration from and how does that define the DNA of the brand?
Sam: Well we have a saying we say here at ACF HQ inspire to be inspired. We pull inspiration from everywhere really but mostly from the cultures of places I've been. Music and craft always been one of those things helped to connect the red thread. That's why one of the definition of ACF its Ancient Culture Footstep.
Shaka: Inspired by the art of life. I am a night owl, I find I hardly have to change anything I get up to in the middle of the night.
Between photography, styling, designing and creative direction, do you have a preferred medium? If so, why?
Sam: To tell you the truth they all relate to each other, for my design I get massive inspiration from vintage pictures I collect, I wouldn't be able to style if I didn't know cloth and proportion, I wouldn't be able to art direct if I was never behind the camera.
Shaka: No. Art Comes First sees itself as a styling agency, as we have have a stylistic approach to designing, photography, and pretty much everything we do.
Outside of work, do you have guys have an hobbies?
Sam: I'm trying to be rock star I been trying to learn how to play guitar for ages now but its not working :( that's how far my hobbies go. Oh and I still carry harmonica with me everywhere I go so I can at least learn that.
Shaka: I would have said traveling but that is also part of work these days.
What music are you listening to?
Sam: To tell the truth i was on Valerie June, The bullits and Gary Clark jr but my photographer friend Kris Moolman introduce me to David Lynch stuff i have to say its pretty addictive.
Shaka: Changed with time and place. Right now I am back on ska, constant spin of selections from Trojan records on YouTube gets me by at night.
What projects or collaborations are you currently working on?
Sam: Right now we are working on our main line called Avec Ces Freres (traveling tailoring by traveling tailoring) and our denim Apron project with DENHAM for United Arrows and of course PONY sneakers by ACF.
Shaka: All mentioned above by Sam to include photography and book project with Kristinlee Moolman, and a pop up school in Africa.
How would you define the Art Comes First man? Where does he travel? What does he live?
Sam: Its a man who drinks tea, wears tie and appreciate art. He travels in concrete jungles and sometimes in snow clouds. He lives everywhere and nowhere its a true Gypsy.
Shaka: Also a constant mind traveler.

Subscribe To Weekend Box Office: Expendables 2 Holds Weak Top Spot As Summer Winds Down Updates
I've already subscribed
It was a quiet weekend at the box office as the usual end-of-summer doldrums began to set in. There were two wide release newcomers and one expanding release for audiences to dive into, but none of them managed to make more than $7 million or break into the top five.
That left plenty of breathing room at the top for The Expendables 2, The Bourne Legacy, and Paranorman all of which repeated their spots at first, second and third place respectively.
While two weeks at first place is a nice feather in Expendables 2's bullet-hole-riddled hat, the movie still only shows $77 million in world wide sales against its triple digit million budget. The sequel continues to lag further and further behind the first film as well, having only made $52 million domestically compared to the more than $65 million Expendables had banked by the same weekend.
Trailers pitch 2016: Obama's America as a sort of fear/outrage-propaganda piece (director Dinesh D'Souza appears to be the conservative answer to Michael Moore), but regardless of how fair you think it may or may not be, it was the most popular movie this weekend per screen. After six weeks in small release it expanded to over 1,000 theaters and at more than $5,000 per theater it had the highest grossing average in the top ten. But, in total sales, with just over $6 million, it landed the number 8 spot.
Newcomers Premium Rush and Hit and Run tanked, landing in 7th and 10th places with $6 million and $4 million respectively. That's particularly bad news for Premium Rush and its $35 million price tag, but cause for celebration for the Hit and Run producers who saw their little project crash squarely into the black thanks to its miniscule $2 million budget.
The only thing scary about The Apparition was how much money it's going to lose. The $17 million thriller, a first feature-length project for writer/director Todd Lincoln, opened in 800 theaters and took in just $2 million for a limp 12th place. The 0% rating it received at Rotten Tomatoes probably didn't help soften the blow.
For the full weekend top ten, check out the chart below:

|Key Words from the New Testament Trade Paperback
|Published: September 12, 2006
Learn a Biblical Greek WORD Everyday.
The purpose of a Word of the Day is to share the richness of the Greek language used in the New Testament and help make these words practical in the reader's Christian living. Because words do matter, the words of the New Testament matter most. And in a day when words don't seem to mean much, the need for precision in Christian doctrine and practice has never been more critical.
For each day of the year, Watson presents a brief word study and then offers an application to make that particular Greek word become real for practical living. To aid reinforcement, related verses are listed for the reader's personal study.
Doc Watson fulfills his desire of many years to provide daily devotionals that not only contain deep spiritual truth, but also are easy to read and understand. In this day of relativism, the absolutes of God's Word (and words) are desperately needed. These brief devotionals will enrich the mind, stir the soul, and empower the life of God's people.
J.D."Doc" Watson is currently the pastor of Grace Bible Church in Meeker, Colorado, where he has ministered since 1986. He currently writes and edits the monthly publication, Truth on Tough Texts. His driving passion is the exposition of the Word of God as the sole and sufficient authority in all matters. The other loves of his life are his wife Debbie and son Paul.

I turn 20 this year.
In the grand scheme of things, I'm still very young and 20 years is hopefully a very small fraction of my life; a mere drop in the ocean of time as a whole.
That being said, 20 years to me is obviously the longest span of time I have so far ever known. Quite frankly I am amazed I have survived this long, especially considering I have lived away from home twice now. I find it honestly amazing that I am even allowed to rent a flat. I don't know anything about money or finances or even life. Some days I literally forget to feed myself. I require adult supervision at all times – I am a CHILD for god's sake.
When I was significantly younger, I thought 20 was a Real Person age. By the time you were 20 you were supposed to be a proper fully grown human being with a job and a house and control of your life. In recent years I've grown to realise that this notion is hilariously incorrect, but I still feel that my 8 year old self would be shocked and horrified.
I sometimes wonder if anyone actually grows up. Ever. Do the people I think of as grown ups really ever FEEL like grown ups? Or do they just pretend they've got a clue when they're really just stumbling from one day to the next, just about managing to appear that they have their shit together, all the while feeling like this guy?
Maybe even my PARENTS, the most grown up grown ups I can think of (may it be noted that they actually aren't very mature when I think about it but I will forever perceive them as if they are), are just really old children. I'll never know.
I'm not entirely sure what's brought on this mad panic-rambling, it's just that I suddenly felt the need to tell/overshare with people that I sometimes forget that I'm not still a 14 year old emo kid who wears too much eyeliner and listens to sad music all the time.
The further away I get from that, the more it freaks me out. As I'm writing this, I really want to get on a train back to London, demand someone picks me up from the station (or else I'll have a tantrum about how nobody cares about me), ignore everyone in my house and sit alone in my bed whilst pretending to be cool on MySpace or something like that.
Ok, maybe not entirely. I mean, I get to drink alcohol without it being illegal now. And I can have sweets whenever I want, sport allowing. And my life is actually pretty good.
My plan of action is to reach maturity by limiting myself to only one song by The Smiths per day and only posting the lyrics to said song as my Facebook status when and ONLY when it is completely and utterly necessary.
Anyway, I'm done with my oversharing now. I think my need to post was possibly arisen by talking about blogging with some of my friends today and I was reminded how much I miss telling people about how terrible at life I am.
I like to keep this blog 'alive' (and by that I mean post on it once a year) since it's somewhere I can voice my inner most musings when I feel it appropriate. If it ever is.
So now you've been reminded how ridiculous my musings really are, it's goodbye again for now. It's been fun. Maybe see you again next year!

Inflation set to stay below target
Inflation is expected to have notched up its seventh month below the Bank of England's 2% target when official figures for July are published tomorrow.
Analysts expect the Consumer Price Index (CPI) measure of inflation to have edged lower to 1.8% after it rose sharply to 1.9% in June as summer sales discounts started later than usual.
It will mean CPI has been below 2% for seven months in a row for the first time since June 2005 - which was the last month of a low-inflation stretch that had lasted several years from 1997.
Low inflation eases pressure on the Bank of England for any hike in interest rates
The Retail Prices Index (RPI) measure of inflation, which includes housing costs, is forecast to fall from 2.6% to 2.5%.
This month's RPI figure will be closely watched by rail commuters as it is used to determine regulated fares including season ticket rises from next year.
The formula allows prices to be increased by an average of RPI plus 1%. Train companies have a "flex" option to add another 2% to some fares, as long as the overall average remains as per the formula.
But it is the CPI measure, used for the Bank of England's target, which will be watched by analysts amid speculation about when interest rates, held at 0.5% since 2009, will start to rise.
Low inflation eases pressure on the Bank for any hike as it considers whether the economy should return to normal borrowing rates following the downturn.
Experts are pencilling in an increase for February next year but a sharper than expected change in inflation could shake up the market's expectations.
Samuel Tombs of Capital Economics - which is predicting a larger drop than some analysts - said: "The key question this month is not whether CPI inflation will fall in July, but by how much."
He said a late start to sales might have seen discounts drift into July, while food prices might also have fallen, predicting a drop to 1.6% which "could have a relatively big impact on the markets".
However, Scotiabank's Alan Clarke took a different view of clothes prices saying the later start to the sales suggested there had been "robust demand" leaving no need for discounts to deal with an "overhang of unsold inventory".
He predicted there would not be "downside payback" from the sales, forecasting CPI to remain at 1.9%.

UMBC Stadium
The UMBC Stadium was built in 1976 with a seating capacity of 4,000. Lights were added in 1992, and in 1996 a world-class track and field complex was added, which included jumping and throwing areas. The Jim Pfrogner Press Box, which is named for UMBC's long-time cross county and track and field coach, was refurbished in 2000 and features two rooftop broadcast booths and wireless internet capabilities. In the spring of 2005, UMBC Stadium's original Deso- Turf surface was replaced with Sportexe's Momentum 51 synthetic turf at a cost of over $800,000. Momentum 51 synthetic turf is an infill system, consisting of 70 percent ground rubber and 30 percent kiln-dried sand. Other facilities which have utilized this product include M&T Bank Stadium (Baltimore, Md.), N.M. Roberts Stadium (University of Southern Mississippi football), and Memorial Stadium (University of California-Berkeley).
The newest renovations for the UMBC Stadium are currently underway and will provide a new $5 million locker room complex, which is expected to be completed in the spring of 2008 and will house all of UMBC's outdoor teams. The complex will feature eight locker rooms for home and visiting teams, as well as a new sports medicine facility, a laundry room, a meeting room that will be available to the media, and a coaches and officials locker room.

ON THE ABKHAZIAN BORDER, Russia: The Russians here in the deep south of the country swear by luscious Abkhazian tangerines, and Mukhmunad Ashabokova is a vital part of the transport link that brings the bright orange citrus into Russia.
Most days in the tangerine season, she rolls her squat cart loaded down with the fruit across the bridge over Psou River from her garden about two miles inside Abkhazia. She sells the thick-skinned orbs on the street inside Russia at a border crossing that's only about three miles south of Sochi and the 2014 Winter Olympic Games. She makes the hour-long roundtrip on foot, a cog in a primitive economy that flourishes in the shadow of Russian President Vladimir Putin's $51 billion Olympic showplace.
After an arduous journey of border and customs formalities on both sides, Ashabokova hauls the tangerines north and sells them in Russia for about 50 cents a pound (35 rubles a kilo). She returns home with the cart weighed down with plastic bottles of cooking oil and big bags of rice and other grains for her and neighbors.
"We need to eat," she explains.
Abkhazia is a festering geopolitical sore, and the economic system still operating in these and many other parts of Russia is decidedly 19th century. As Russia opens its doors to a curious world with the dawn of the Sochi Games, places like this border crossing expose the vast contradictions still gripping the one-time superpower 21 years after the Soviet Union collapsed.
The deeply poor region is one of an overflowing basket of ethnic districts in the nooks and crannies of the towering mountains, fertile valleys and seaside plains of the Caucasus region of southern Russia. Beginning with Josef Stalin, born in Georgia not far south of Sochi, the Caucasus' restive people were kept in line and subservient to Soviet power with state-imposed brutality. The tactic was born of the czar's Russian expansion into the region in the mid-18th century.
But when Soviet Union collapsed two decades ago, much of the Caucasus turned again into a cauldron of open rebellion, on-and-off bloody warfare and the constant threat of Islamic terrorism, first in Chechnya and now just to the north in Dagestan.
Here on the other side of the majestic Caucasus range, Russia recognized Abkhazia as an independent nation after Moscow forces crushed the Georgian army in a short war in 2008. The Georgians had, in Soviet times, administered Abkhazia and were once the majority population in the district. Abkhazia had gained nominal independence and the Georgians wanted it back. Russia said 'no.' Moscow carries a grudge against the Western-looking Georgians and their ties with NATO and the European Union.
On the eve of the official opening of the games, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon restated his appeal for warring parties around the world to lay down arms during the games. His message was certain to have landed on deaf ears in the Caucasus, where the terrorist threat hangs heavy over the games. The gleaming festival of sport is close at hand, and it is just as closely and personally associated with Putin as are his repressive tactics in the Caucasus. Russian security is massive. Tens of thousands of Russian soldiers and security forces have created a so-called "ring of steel" encircling Sochi. That includes what should be considered the friendly border with Abkhazia.
Is it enough? Caucasus-based Islamic extremists gave the world a taste of what they can do when they set off bombs and killed dozens in the southern Russian city of Volgograd late last year.
At the border, the ring of steel is in open view. Tall fences topped with razor wire and cameras flank both sides of the riverine frontier with Abkhazia. Russian sensitivities showed when border patrol forces screeched to a halt in front of a car carrying an Associated Press news team visiting the border this week. Three soldiers jumped out of the truck and forced a cameraman to erase video images.
The ring of steel extends off shore in the Black Sea, where Russian gunboats bob in a line just a few hundred yards (meters) apart at a distance from the Sochi beaches. Inland, anti-aircraft batteries are tucked away in the towering peaks.
Putin has promised a safe Olympic Games and is determined to fulfill his vow — a bit like a swimmer diving confidently into a lake filled with crocodiles.
