"Cheek to Cheek" Victorian Settee. This gorgeous cobalt blue, Victorian, rosewood settee is an absolute gem {and, not that we should have favorites, but our personal favorite}. It is a one of a kind, original piece and has beautiful rose carved crest detailing. The hand-carved woodwork on this rosewood settee rental is remarkable. The cobalt blue velvet on this Victorian settee is heaven; the tufts make it all the more so. We have rented this particular settee for modern and bohemian weddings, in family photos, vibrant Mehndi-Ki-Raat wedding parties, and decorated in romantic lounge areas; just to name a few! This Victorian settee truly is a versatile piece. We are so lucky to have this Victorian settee rental in our collection! PS. If you couldn't tell, this piece photographs exquisitely! Circa 1880. 1 piece settee collection. 72″ Length x 41″ Height.
*Please note: The "Cheek to Cheek" settee is our oldest piece of furniture. Due to its age, it does have small "age spots" on the seat cushion. In our opinion, we do not believe these marks detract from the beauty of this remarkable settee, rather it adds to its authenticity and charm.

Cheek To Cheek
"Heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek"

Andrea Erin Furbee, Assistant Concertmaster
Erin Furbee joined the Oregon Symphony as Assistant Concertmaster in 2001. Prior to her arrival in Portland, she was a member of the Colorado Symphony for eight years, and also played with the Milwaukee Symphony for a season.
Originally from Chicago, Erin attended the University of Michigan, received her B.M. from the Shepherd School of Music (Rice University), and did her graduate work at the University of Minnesota. Her main teachers have been Camilla Wicks, Raphael Fliegal, Jacob Krachmalnick, and Roland and Almita Vamos. She has performed as a soloist with the Oregon Symphony, the Colorado Symphony, and the University of Minnesota Symphony Orchestras.
Besides her great love for classical music, Erin enjoys playing Tango music, a passion she developed after first hearing the music of Astor Piazzolla in 1997. While living in Denver, she and fellow bandoneon player Evan Orman co-founded a four piece tango group called Extasis and traveled to Buenos Aires in 1999 to study with musicians in many of the tango orchestras there. In Portland, Erin feels very fortunate to be playing with two tango groups. In 2001, she formed Tango Pacifico, which has been featured on the Chamber Music on Tap series and received a grant in 2002 from the Knight Foundation to perform a show of Tango and Samba music at the PNCA. She also plays with Conjunto Berretin, a 6-piece ensemble which often performs at milongas for dancers, and has been featured at Portland Tangofest and Valentango. In June, 2004, Erin returned to Buenos Aires for a month where she studied and performed with tango musicians, took Spanish lessons, and learned to dance — the ultimate tango experience!
Erin is also an avid chamber musician, and is currently a member of Fear No Music. She has also played with the Colorado Chamber Players, the Mariposa Piano Trio, and the Modern Music Festival. She enjoys teaching privately as well as coaching for auditions. In her spare time, she hikes, dances, and studies yoga and Spanish.

The assassination of Sheikh Wahid al-Balous has caused tremendous strife inside the Druze community. The majority of established Druze clerics are extremely pro-regime, however, Balous was a very outspoken critic of the Assad regime. Balous was also the leader of a large anti-regime milita in Sweida called "The Sheiks of Dignity". Like most things in the Middle East, the group also had dimensions of being a religious movement. It is important to note that there are also pro-Assad militia's among the Druze community, including the National Defense Front and the hard-right Syrian Social Nationalist Party. [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ki6FdtZbCo8[/embed]
After the assassination, the immediate question was "who did it?". So far, the answer to this question is "we do not know." The supporters of Balous immediately blamed the regime, while the pro-regime figures called it a "terrorist attack" (Note: "Terrorist" is a catch all term for the opposition for many pro-regime figures) and tried to calm tensions. The Western/Gulf backed Southern Front of the Syrian Opposition stated that such an assassination was "inevitable" and called on the Druze community to commit to the opposition.
Balous was a major problem for the regime because of his outspoken criticism. Chief among these was his opposition to the drafting of the Druze to fight for the Assad regime. Most Druze decided to form local protection militia's in response to the attempts by the Assad regime to draft members of their communities. Balous also was an advocated for Druze autonomy and a supporter of the Syrian Opposition.
Whatever happened, this event is going to increase tensions among the divided Druze community. We have already seen footage of protests in response to this attack. No matter where the Druze stand politically, there is nothing more important to them then their community. Most would consider this assassination unacceptable.

Echoes of Eternity
The Story
My first official EP digitally released on Galileo Dreams Recordings. 'Shadows and Dust' is inspired by my love for classic 80s Synthpop and modern day Chillout music. The track is a definite departure from my token video game Trance that I usually produce, which is ironic because 'Shadows' is one of my most well-received tracks. I might be in the wrong genre!
The title itself is pulled from the film 'Gladiator', where Proximo describes our existence as being nothing more than shadows and dust, which he profoundly reiterates during his last breath. The shadows we cast while living and the dust we leave upon death are outlived by the legacy we leave behind. My legacy will be the music and written work I've created. I may be a small shadow created from dust, but these stone pillars will stand against the wind's of time, allowing me to leave an everlasting mark on the world.

Kid Rock, U.S. Senator?
The Michigan Republican Party considered the singer, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, as a possible candidate to supplant Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) at a convention last weekend, Roll Call reports.
Ritchie is a self-described libertarian who has endorsed several Republican candidates, including Mitt Romney, Ben Carson, and Donald Trump.
God, Guns and Trump! #TrumpInauguration @KidRock pic.twitter.com/y98sr7F2fw— Shea✨ (@3wild1s) January 20, 2017
He even sold pro-Trump merch at his online store.
I have not talked to Kid Rock about that. I think he would be awesome. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a movement for him to run.
Sarah Anderson, Michigan GOP press officer
A spokeswoman for the party said no one has reached out to the singer. But that doesn't mean the party would say no.
Ritchie would face an uphill battle. Stabenow has held her seat since 2000.
He has at least one fan on Twitter.

"Wassail is a beverage of hot mulled cider, drunk traditionally as an integral part of wassailing, a Medieval Christmastide English drinking ritual intended to ensure a good cider apple harvest the following year." (Source: Wikipedia)
It's evening and my Christmas Day is almost over but I'm still celebrating. Have a few minutes to publish a quick post and so I'm going to share a wonderful wassail recipe that a friend shared with me in response to a question I asked about celebrating the Winter Solstice. I know some people don't care too much for eggnog but most people really enjoy a delicious wassail drink.
Celebrate the Winter Solstice with this Wassail Recipe by Spiderdust: Core out of some apples (not the whole way through), stuff them with sugar, put a bunch of cloves in an orange, and then roast all of the fruit for half an hour. Put the roasted fruit in a gallon of cider with some cinnamon sticks, allspice, some pieces of crystallized ginger, a few pieces of star anise, and then grate some nutmeg over it all. Optional: Throw in some fresh or frozen cranberries. Let it simmer on low all day long. People can serve themselves as they please. The longer it simmers, the better it gets.

If you ever wondered what all those funny "words" with lots of numbers and things in them meant, Auntie Microsoft will tell you. Pay special attention to "Leet words of concern or indicating possible illegal activity."
- A parent's primer to computer slang
- Time for Gen-I to hit the bottle?
The year hasn't started well for solutions and services provider Gen-I. Air NZ flew off with competitor Axon, causing a loss of an estimated $5 million a year. Gen-I has held that particular business for seven years (well, kind of: it inherited Air NZ from Wang).
Next, we hear that Gen-I is abandoning a major tender for a platform upgrade over at Canterbury District Health. That contract would've been worth around $3 million, apparently. It's not all bad for Gen-I's master Telecom, however, as stable mate solutions provider Computerland looks likely to scoop up the CDH business.
In August last year, Gen-I lost the MAF IT services contract to Unisys, so it's not exactly been a winning streak for the solutions provider since Telecom bought it. Some sources suggest that it's not Gen-I itself, but rather its owner that is the thorn in the side for potential customers.
- Gen-I pulls out of health tender with IBM
- Triple Play coming up
Putting Alcatel in charge of its network appears to have accelerated Telecom's broadband plans considerably. This time last year, Jetstart was the DSL of choice for most people, not because the speed was sufficient but because it was the only affordable plan.
Now however Telecom's talking 15Mbit/s downloads (and 1Mbit/s uploads) through the next-generation ADSL2+ which will be rolled out this year – we may even be able to buy the service late next spring.
That's quite a turnaround for Telecom, which to be honest was dragging its feet with broadband.
Telecom's able to deploy high-speed DSL as its hooking up roadside cabinets with fibre-optic data cables, and running the DSL over the copper from there. That shortens the distance the DSL signal has to traverse, and thus, allows for greater speeds. I'm not sure where this leaves those who get DSL via their local exchange, but here's hoping Telecom will upgrade all of us. Yes, we're looking into the question of how it will affect wholesale UBS as well.
For those who are interested in the details, ADSL2+ doubles the downstream bandwidth from a maximal 1.1MHz to 2.2MHz. This plus other enhancements means higher speeds – around 25Mbit/s if you're right next to the DSLAM compared to the 8Mbit/s maximum that today's DSL offers (Telecom's target speed is only 2Mbit/s however). The 1Mbit/s upstream is puny, but apparently ADSL2+ has an optional mode which will double that too.
Of course, new modems are required for ADSL2+ but they're already on the market in other countries. In fact, ADSL2 and ADSL2+ are already in use overseas so really NZ is somewhat late as usual.
What will we do with all the bandwidth then? "Triple Play" of course – voice, video and data, all delivered over IP. I'm still dubious about Telecom actually delivering Triple Play, but maybe Alcatel has banged some sense into our incumbent?
- Telecom to offer 15Mbit/s over copper — rollout begins this year
- Backslapping time
Clearly, people are incredibly fascinated by La Vida Geeka. Loads more people read Computerworld and PC World nowadays, according to skyrocketing Nielsen Media Research figures.

How I Automated My Band's Music Blog Including Content Creation
From 2012 to 2016 I played drums in the NYC instrumental progressive music group "Oneironaught." The name is based on the word oneironaut—an explorer of lucid dream worlds—which came from a previous metal band I had started with a friend, and seemed to describe our rather trippy style of metal well.
One of the hallmarks of being in a band is the struggle to balance the artistic side with the business side. In my case, despite having studied music in college, I always end up being the business guy. This means finding ways to promote our music, networking, and trying to push the whole project towards progress… the golden mecca being that place where band income outweighs band expenses (i.e. profit).
In 2013, I began expanding my capabilities as a digital marketing manager for Saturn Business Systems. As an IBM partner located in midtown, a 10-minute walk from IBM headquarters, it felt like we were part of IBM, and we had suited IBM-ers strolling in and out daily.
I began studying NYU's Digital Marketing master's curriculum on my own. I was also being sent to IBM headquarters for digital marketing trainings. I gobbled up dozens of courses on Udemy around Facebook marketing, Google Adwords, Music Marketing, etc…
Adding to my prior knowledge of web development and storytelling, I began implementing landing pages for lead generation, content marketing, sophisticated analytics tools, a/b testing, PPC ads, email marketing, and methods of managing and growing social media accounts. During this time, I began using the band as a sandbox for testing wacky marketing ideas that I didn't want to try first on my company.
IBM and Arrow Electronics hired a consultant to come and help our 30-year-old company shift toward a newer business modelm, which would shift us from a sales led organization to one led by digital marketing. The strategy was centered around recruiting data governance experts to promote in our new company blog, gaining mindshare and demonstrating thought leadership through association.
In 2014, We purchased Hubspot, which is a Marketing Automation suite that consists of a CMS, Email Marketing System, Social Media Management, Landing Pages, and a Sales Database (CRM) all loaded into one. Data from any of those modules is shared with all the other modules for better analytics and the ability to score each individual customer's interaction with the site. While I was learning and setting it up I made note of all the features and was excited to play with them all.
It wasn't long before I wanted something like Hubspot to run experiments promoting my band but it was too expensive.
This whole time, I had been running my band's website on Wordpress and had begun to experiment with content marketing to promote my band. Essentially, where I strayed from the norm in music marketing, was that I was writing articles about OTHER bands on OUR website in order to get search and social traffic. And it was working.
Despite the fact that it was working, it was an enormous amount of work, and I was burning out fast. Keeping a steady stream of blog posts and social media content going had me hiring bloggers and staying up all night working, on top of my day job. I begged my bandmates to help, and while they eventually complied, reluctantly, it was too late. I was burnt out.
I said to myself The only way I can keep doing this is if I find a way to automate 100 percent of this because I can't keep this up consistently alone.
I started building a new site that aimed to replicate the functionality of Hubspot using Wordpress plugins. My only rule was that whatever I was building would not be considered complete if I had to do anything at all to maintain it. It would need to allow me to be able to disappear for 3 months with zero inconsistency in posting frequency or timing. This was when I discovered a service called IFTTT, and instantly fell in love with the possibilities.
IFTTT a.k.a IF THIS THEN THAT
If you're unfamiliar, IFTTT is a service that lets you automate all kinds of things. When I first discovered that use it with the Spotify API, I ran all kinds of experiments, like using it to tweet songs anytime I saved them to my library and so forth.
Then I noticed you could connect to the Reddit API. I started connecting the dots…it hit me that I could use Reddit as a curation tool, if you will, to automate selecting songs for my Spotify playlist, which was a huge breakthrough. Since posts including songs are upvoted and downvoted on Reddit, in real time, by an incredibly engaged community, the songs that make it to the top of any Subreddit genre would be even more relevant and fresh choices for a playlist than if I were curating one by myself. And since it's not a human like me, and doesn't need sleep, that means the volume of high-quality song recommendations I could extract would be exponential. Talk about harnessing UGC (user generated content).
Here's what the /r/progmetal Subreddit looks like:
Before long, I had figured out that I could use Reddit to create posts on my Wordpress site using recipes that made use of the Spotify API. The margin of error for posting something off-genre was very low since only a portion of the top posts titles would actually be recognized as songs by Spotify. Occasionally, a song title is upvoted as a joke and the site ends up posting 80's dance music with the hashtag #deathmetal. The first few times this happened I was mortified… after a while my followers just started assuming it was a joke and commented about how funny it was that I was posting classical metal with #doom hash tags on it.
Here's what the Reddit recipe for one of my fetches looks like:
Here's what my Spotify to Wordpress recipe looks like along with the HTML template and data fields from the API I'm using:
Notice how I was able to insert the artist and album data to the html's alt tag. The alt tag is what allows you to tell search engines what your images are. It's a lot of work to make sure everything is labeled correctly so your site is seen as relevant. This simple dynamic insertion automated the SEO tagging process for thousands of images on my site.
Once the posts hit my website they have left the land of IFTTT and I needed to figure out a way to complete the remaining 50 percent of the automation by other means.
The posts would get sent to my site but if I set them to publish immediately then they would post erratically 5 at a time when IFTTT ran and then nothing and then 4.
I needed a way to spread the posting out evenly no matter how fast the new posts came in from IFTTT.
Which generates pages that look like this:
I did a bunch of experiments creating blog posts to generate targeted organic traffic to my site. With this particular example I did some keyword research into topics to write about and saw an opportunity for the keyword "Bands like Tool."
I know a lot about Tool so I assembled a listicle style blog post and optimized it for search.
As a result you can see that I rank #1 on google for "Bands like Tool."
I want to come back to the site analytics traffic overview, but check out how much of my traffic comes from that one article. Organic traffic is free and it's a very valuable thing to build because it continues to work indefinitely.
You can clearly tell when I launched this automated version of the website. I launched it around this time last year and have barely touched it since.
Above the fold I have this funky square and rectangle based design that always looks interesting because there is an endless supply of new images flowing to my website.
The home page displays access to these awesome image files making great use of Spotify's album art API:
Under that I have an image carousel that displays the SEO-targeted blog posts so users get more in-depth, human-produced content, as well.
You can also see the right rail sidebar now. At the top is a newsletter sign-up module. Below that is a list of songs ranked by weekly view count (sort of like a "trending now" module).
I decided I preferred the footer minimal
Now to dive deeper…
As you can see in the screenshot, I've already published 6,959 blog posts over the past year since I developed this new automated version of my site.
With all the content coming in at random intervals it needs to be scheduled properly or 24 posts could publish at the same time.
They needed to be programmatically scheduled so I wouldn't need to touch it.
Here's how I'm taking care of this: I installed a plugin called auto-post-scheduler that would let me publish a post that was set to draft on a timed interval. I did some research and found that I could tell IFTTT to set all new posts to draft instead of publishing them immediately.
It's appropriate to post at different frequencies that suit the style and use cases of different social networks.
My biggest following is on Twitter and since my account has a large international following, posting 24 times a day so posts hit newsfeeds in all the right time zones is necessary.
Posting that often, EVERY DAY, for one person is, well, almost impossible.
You can see the times I've chosen to queue the 24 posts each day using a social media scheduling service called BUFFER that I've connected to my site via a plugin.
Whenever a post on the site publishes it generates a new social media post in the buffer queue for each social media network connected.
You'll see below that I only post 4 times a day on Instagram while I'm posting 24 times a day on Twitter. That's cool.
Here's what the Instagram post scheduling looks like:
Here's our actual Instagram account. You'll notice how nice the album art translates into social media. It's beautiful and attracts the eye without me having to do anything.
I'm posting 24 times a day on Pinterest as well because it's totally fine to pin a whole bunch of stuff. Keep in mind all these links I'm posting lead straight back to my website.
I'm seeding the internet with links back to my site.
Here are some stats from the Pinterest account. It's very new and I didn't invest much time into it.
I wrote and ran a custom iMacros script for several weeks to gain the initial following and then did nothing with it.
Regardless, with the following I have my posts hit 22,463 pin newsfeeds for free every month.
I got in on botting Google+ before they made it harder and built 1,909 followers there:
While I was at it, I programmed IFTTT to repost all my posts to Tumblr too!
Here's what my Twitter queue looks like right now:
And here's my Twitter account, where I've managed to grow the follower count to 14,600 using iMacros bot scripts that I wrote:
After a post publishes from Wordpress, this report fires from Buffer on which posts were generated.
You can that I'm getting an error for LinkedIn. I was sending posts there for a while but saw no real way to build a following for the site's "company page" with botting or other methods that weren't expensive.
At Saturn I had experimented with targeted ads via LinkedIn and the results were bad and expensive. I decided to ditch it.
What's the point of doing all this?
Everything that just happened was designed to generate traffic to the website in a variety of different ways. Once the users get to the website I'm hoping they will sign up for the mailing list, discover other good content, or even better yet, discover my band and buy an album or something!
Usually you have to offer up a piece of bait to get someone to give you their contact info. In this case I'm offering the benefit of a music digest to their email twice a week as well as an email response with a link to download 2 of my band's albums for free just for signing up.
This is a great way to AT LEAST GET SOMETHING of value that the all too typical free streaming transaction does not provide. The email address is still rated the best way to contact someone among marketers.
That's why a really good email list can be worth a lot of money. Even just 1000 niche followers on a list can generate a big chunk of change if one has products to offer (other than music though usually).
But why stop there? Once they sign up to the mailing list I need to continue engaging them somehow or they'll forget about my site. Repetition is the key to retention marketing and that's why a newsletter is the last stage of an integrated digital marketing strategy. The hope is that if the visitor returns to the site there is a chance that they will take the next step on one of my offers, in my case it would be checking out my band, and I can also send them an occasional offer to check out purchasable Merch like t-shirts and records.
I installed a plugin called Mailpoet that's able to take Wordpress posts and generate newsletters out of the latest content posted to the site.
I made three different emails: The Monday metal and the metal Friday emails and the email that's automatically sent with the link to Oneironaught's 2 free albums.
When someone signs up I get a happy email in my inbox. Cool!
This is first email with the links to Oneironaught's album:
This is what a standard weekly email looks like:
To get Mailpoet to work properly, I had to figure out how I could programmatically copy the Spotify album art image from the foreign Spotify image url posted from IFTTT to my site's media folder, and then automatically set that image to Wordpress's "Featured Image" field, which is what Mail Poet requires in order to include pictures in its autogenerated newsletters.
I found a plugin called Quick Featured Images Pro and was able to get it to do just that.
Some other plugin shennanigans going on on the page include a plugin that scans the Wordpress post's title and searches for it on YouTube, returning a thumbnail image that lazy loads the video upon user click (to save precious page load time.)
To get the Spotify urls to easily embed in the site I installed the Spotify Embed plugin. I'm also caching the site to save speed and have it connected to a content delivery network (CDN).
Tracking Code Manager Pro allows me to place Facebook, Google…etc… tracking pixels on each page of my site while only loading them in one place.
Video marketing on YouTube is awesome. I ran a series of experiments using very targeted GoogleAdwords ads and was able to generate approximately 16,259 views on this video for about $50.
Here's the actual video if you wanna listen:
Here's the YouTube Channel page where you can see I've grabbed another 1,318 subscribers.
I tried some similar experiments with Facebook ads and was able to get a native Facebook video version of the same song to over 28,000 views for about $50.
I love going to see live music and noticed people are always filming parts of the concert with their phones and security doesn't care. I had been using Zoom products for a while and when I discovered their GoPro sized concert recording video camera I had to put it on my Christmas list.
Dear old Dad hooked me up and so I began my quest to capture some supreme footage at awesome concerts. Here's one of the videos from a recent concert:<iframe width="789" height="444" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/arv9l7rYaMQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>
A friend of mine who works in video security recommended I try using a magnetic tripod mount to non-chaulantly stick the camera somewhere stable so I wouldn't have to hold the camera. I bought a magnetic mount, had no trouble for security on the way in with these small items in my pockets, and successfully recorded a whole RJD2 set at Brooklyn Bowl with the camera attached to metal piping above a door.
Anyway so with all this stuff what kind of results am I getting?
Let's see:
I'll let you guess when I turned the automated website on. You can see the traffic begins to ramp very quickly from March 2016 up until now.
The traffic is dropping off most recently because the site got hacked in the beginning of January with a ad injection attack that changes all the site links to links to some hacker's ads. I didn't notice for a while because umm… I didn't want to have to do anything. So I wasn't paying much attention to be honest. Lesson learned.
Whoops. Well I fixed it and installed much better security tools.
To go along with the site traffic stats I thought what was happening on Twitter was pretty fascinating. Since my largest follower count is there and I'm also posting the most times a day there it produced some fascinating results.
They may look paltry in these recent months, but that is again because of the hack. Twitter stopped accepting new posts from Buffer knowing I was hacked and I lost a lot of traffic momentum because of it.
Look what happened from Feb 2016 to when I launched mid March 2016 and everything leading up to January 2017.
WOAH! I went from 49 tweets in a month to 464 and from 37.4K Tweet Impressions to 385K Tweet Impressions.
And it keeps growing…
Settling down a bit.
Bouncing back up 100K.
And the growth begins slowing down as I do actually have to pay attention to high level site things… I just didn't know where else to go with it without coding a totally custom site with no plugins.
Got hammered bad with 63.4K impressions (meaning number of times it displayed in a Twitter users' newsfeed)
Yeah. I have some work to do to recover from that hack, but I'm more interested in building a new more custom version of this.
Regardless, the sustained increase in visibility, brand awareness, social media followers, email subscribers, and site traffic is fairly clear. Even the worst month is double what I was receiving before the new site went live.
There are many marketing things I wanted to do that I couldn't just using other people's Wordpress plugins.
This project in particular is what inspired me to apply to coding schools and eventually join Flatiron. I'm really proud of it, but I know it could be so much better. Should I start from scratch and code it all myself, so I can do anything I imagine with it? That's my next question.

I recently unearthed my old Handspring Visor (orange) from my boxes of collge stuff and I'm interested in trying to get it to work with my Powerbook.
I'm currently running OS X, v10.4.4 and I'm wondering if the Visor software has an upgrade. I can't boot in classic mode any more since I'm using 10.4+, so I need a version of the Visor software that works in OSX...

Don't know if this works with 10.4 or not, but it looks like Palm Desktop 4.0 works with the VDx and OS 10.x.

Price 18,000 gp; Slot none; CL 7th; Weight 3 lbs.; Aura moderate enchantment
This flag bears an image of a red rose on a silvery field. Made for the Scarlet Rose's standard-bearers, these flags offer protection to the wielder and inspiration to her allies.
To grant any benefit, a banner of the Scarlet Rose must be held firmly in one hand by a woman. While held, it grants the bearer a +2 shield bonus to AC and a +4 luck bonus to her CMD. A banner of the Scarlet Rose counts as a heavy shield for the purpose of any feat or class feature that requires the user to be wielding a shield (such as Sisterhood Style or Shield Wall).
Whenever the banner's bearer uses a class ability that grants a competence bonus (such as the bard's inspire courage ability or the cavalier's lion's call order ability), the competence bonus granted to allies increases by 1. This benefit does not apply to spells that grant competence bonuses, nor does it stack with other item effects that increase competence bonuses. Finally, allies within 30 feet (including the banner's bearer) gain a +2 resistance bonus on saving throws against mind-affecting effects.

At the end of last year confirmed the closure of Cyanogen Inc, but the development community wasn't anything to regroup and was born LineageOS, the new ROM collecting witness from CyanogenMod and which we discussed in depth in our analysis.
Initiatives such as this allow phones that have stopped receiving support officially be updates to the latest versions of Android, such as LineageOS 14.1 7.1 Android-based Nougat. To demonstrate far the commitment of the community, xc-racer99, a member of XDA, He has managed to install LineageOS in an original Samsung Galaxy S.
A mobile phone's seven years with the latest Android, it is possible
The Samsung Galaxy S, also known as I9000, It was commissioned to inaugurate the South Korean manufacturer successful high-end beyond by 2010, a range that has today become a reference in the mobile landscape.
However, a quick look at its specifications shows that time does not pass in vain, and, in a sector in constant progress as the telephony, seven years is many years. WVGA screen of 4 inches, 5 and 0.3 megapixel cameras, 512 MB of RAM or a chip Hummingbird 1 GHz mononucleo These are some of its highlights.
With regard to the software, terminal It came standard with Android 2.1 Eclair and was later upgraded to Android 2.3 Gingerbread, version with which stayed indefinitely. But there is a lucky Galaxy S that has received a new life by the hand of LineageOS.
Have not entirely clear if it is usable in every day, but the video confirms that ROM manages to start without problems and works pretty smooth, to recognize the MicroSD card from the terminal. Although there are many users who still retain this terminal, it is be proof of what can be achieved with a bit of effort.

Apple does not merely want its offices and facilities to run on clean energy. It wants to help the world's most populous country do the same, too.
Apple on Thursday announced a new investment fund in China to promote clean energy use in the country. Apple and 10 partners will jointly invest $300 million over the next four years to develop clean energy projects that can create the renewable energy equivalent of powering 1 million homes.
"At Apple, we are proud to join with companies that are stepping up to address the climate challenge," said Lisa Jackson, Apple's vice president of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives.
The fund, named China Clean Energy Fund, will not be managed by Apple but by a third-party group that specializes in sustainable energy investments, according to Apple.
Apple for years touted its focus on reducing its greenhouse gas emissions in its global facilities and manufacturing processes. In April, Apple announced all its global facilities — including the Apple Park campus in Cupertino — reached 100 percent renewable energy. In China alone, Apple generates over 485 megawatts of wind and solar energy across six provinces.
But Apple is still responsible for a huge amount of emissions due to its massive global manufacturing infrastructure. Apple reported in 2017 that the company produced 27.5 million metric tons of carbon emissions, according to its latest Environmental Progress Report. Seventy-seven percent of Apple's carbon emissions stemmed from manufacturing.
Apple's China Clean Energy Fund comes at a testy time between Beijing and Washington, D.C., as the two governments fire early shots in a growing trade war. Apple CEO Tim Cook has traveled to both capitals in hopes of heading off a trade war so Apple would not be caught in the crossfire, according to a New York Times report in June.
The Trump administration told Cook it will not place tariffs on iPhones but Cook nonetheless was worried China would retaliate against Apple in another way, the New York Times reported.

"The legalization of cannabis is one of the greatest social, economic, and political movements in the past century. Currently, legal cannabis sales are around $5 to $9 billion per year, representing only a fraction of the overall demand in the country and leaving much room for growth," says Harrison Phillips, Analyst at Viridian Capital Advisors, a strategic and financial advisory firm dedicated to the cannabis industry. "Estimates for the size of the cannabis industry in five years' time (end of 2020) are between $15 and $25 billion, with most estimates falling near $20 billion."
Phillips notes that this growth will depend largely on new states "creating legal and regulated cannabis markets." This is increasingly the trend — in November 2016, seven of eight states with ballot initiatives to legalize medical or recreational cannabis passed. These new states included California, the most populous state as well as the largest cannabis market in the country. Over 70 million Americans now live in a state with legal recreational cannabis, a 275% increase from before the elections. When it comes to medical marijuana, the figures are much higher. Twenty-nine states plus D.C. have legalized medical marijuana, covering two-thirds of the U.S. population.
What's in store for 2017? Phillips offers a few predictions:
1. Trump's election likely won't stymie support for cannabis.
"Even with the election of President Trump and the tapping of Jeff Sessions for U.S. Attorney General, we expect the coming administration to side with states' rights regarding cannabis, particularly for medical use."
"We expect additional states to legalize medical and/or recreational cannabis markets in the coming years, and, over the long term, for the federal government [to enable] cannabis to be regulated and controlled at the federal level as well as allowing interstate commerce and the establishment of a truly national cannabis industry," says Phillips.
2. Investment from PE, VCs, and large strategics will continue to increase.
"Originally, the vast majority of funding in this space came from friends and family of operators," due to the uncertainty and small size of the industry, says Phillips. "As more states have established legal cannabis markets, more sophisticated investors, such as ultra-high-net worth individuals, family offices, venture capital firms, and private equity firms have begun investing in the space." Pay Pal founder Peter Thiel's investment in Privateer, a cannabis focused fund, in 2015 is a prominent example.
According to Marijuana Business Daily's Marijuana Business Factbook 2016, 18% of financing rounds completed by cannabis companies in 2015 used venture capital or private equity firms as sources of capital, compared to 8% in 2014.
Phillips also points to a number of "larger, strategic entrants" into the cannabis market as evidence of the increasing diversity of participants in the space, including Scott's Miracle-Gro Company (which has made three acquisitions in the agriculture technology space) and Fortune 150 company Arrow Electronics.
"These moves not only further support the growth prospects of the cannabis industry but also establish the 'emergence of the exit' as larger, better financed companies become potential buyers of cannabis firms, providing liquidity events for entrepreneurs in this space," notes Phillips.
3. Public companies will be among the most aggressive acquirers.
M&A activity has increased in nearly every industry sector YTD in 2016 vs. 2015. Viridian has tracked 136 transactions closed by cannabis companies in 2015 and 2016, and found that "Public companies continue to be the most aggressive acquirers as stabilizing stock prices are used as currency for acquisitions," says Phillips.
4. More investors will "touch the plant."
Viridian segments the cannabis industry into two broad categories — those "touching the plant" (e.g., cultivators and retailers) and those providing ancillary products and services, like lighting manufacturers, consulting companies, soil and nutrient providers, software companies, real estate investment firms, and others. "Most investors are more comfortable investing in companies not directly engaging the cannabis plant," says Phillips, due to perceived reputation risk and federal regulations.
However, "as the industry has begun to mature and investors have watched state-legal businesses generate profits and tax revenue without harming their communities, more groups have begun investigating and making investments into companies touching the plant," says Phillips. "Some cultivators, retailers (medical and adult-use), and infused product manufacturers have steadily attracted more investment from investors with greater risk tolerance."
While he notes that investors generally consider biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies the most valuable investments, developing and commercializing cannabis drugs takes time, "especially as the plant's classification as a Schedule I controlled substance limits the ability to conduct clinical research and development."
Viridian, through its market intelligence initiative, the Viridian Cannabis Deal Tracker, monitors capital raise, mergers and acquisition, joint venture, and licensing activity for both public and private companies in the legal cannabis industry across 12 key sectors.
Viridian tracked 700 capital raises, totaling over $2.0 billion, by cannabis companies in 2015 and 2016. They found that companies in the "touching the plant" segment of the market continue to raise more capital, primarily driven by the Biotech/Pharma and Cultivation & Retail segments. Companies in the Touching the Plant segment completed 270 raises for a total of $1.4 billion vs. companies in the Ancillary Products and Services segment's 445 raises for a total of $652.6 million.
5. Valuation multiples may be on the rise.
The Viridian Cannabis Stock Index tracks the performance of approximately 50 publicly traded cannabis companies as a proxy for the stock performance of cannabis companies as well as relative valuation metrics within the industry.
Stock performance is categorized into the 12 different product/technology sectors noted in the section above. These sectors are further differentiated into two segments, those that "touch the plant" and those that are providers of ancillary products and services.
Median trailing twelve-month (TTM) price-to-sales (P/S) multiples for select sectors from the beginning of 2015 through the end of the third quarter of 2016 as of the end of each quarter (e.g. the Q1'2016 multiple was calculated as of March 31, 2016). TTM P/S multiples are calculated by dividing the market capitalization of a company by the sum of its revenues from the last four reported quarters.
"On January 1, 2014, Colorado and Washington State rolled out their recreational cannabis markets, sparking the beginning of an unsustainable run-up in cannabis stock prices as investors rushed into the public cannabis markets. However, the fundamentals of the publicly traded cannabis companies had not developed to support these valuations, so we have seen a decline in the valuation multiples afforded to companies as stock prices continued to correct," Phillips said. "These multiples continued to decline into the final quarter of 2015 before resurging in 2016."
Phillips continued, "The P/S multiples were somewhat volatile between the first and second quarters of 2016 but generally continued to decline while the stock performance of our Index over these two quarters was relatively flat. In the third quarter of 2016, the multiples began to rise again, driven by performance in the stocks of the companies in our Index as well as improved fundamentals from doing business in more established cannabis markets.
For the last quarter of 2016, we expect multiples to have risen again driven by further increases in stock prices. During Q4, our Viridian Cannabis Stock Index rose 155.0%, driven largely by excitement leading up to the November elections in the U.S. and the subsequent investor interest from the successful results of said elections.
Note: The valuations for many of the sectors in the Viridian Cannabis Stock Index are derived from only a small number of companies and therefore may not be representative of these sectors as a whole.

Journal Of Anatomy, 229 (2). pp. 173-190. ISSN 1469-7580Full text not available from this repository.
The rapidly expanding interest in, and availability of, digital tomography data to visualize casts of the vertebrate endocranial cavity housing the brain (endocasts) presents new opportunities and challenges to the field of comparative neuroanatomy. The opportunities are many, ranging from the relatively rapid acquisition of data to the unprecedented ability to integrate critically important fossil taxa. The challenges consist of navigating the logistical barriers that often separate a researcher from high-quality data and minimizing the amount of non-biological variation expressed in endocasts – variation that may confound meaningful and synthetic results. Our purpose here is to outline preferred approaches for acquiring digital tomographic data, converting those data to an endocast, and making those endocasts as meaningful as possible when considered in a comparative context. This review is intended to benefit those just getting started in the field but also serves to initiate further discussion between active endocast researchers regarding the best practices for advancing the discipline. Congruent with the theme of this volume, we draw our examples from birds and the highly encephalized non-avian dinosaurs that comprise closely related outgroups along their phylogenetic stem lineage.

To the editor:
For 10 years I was the director of a public library in rural Somerset County where I was born and raised; where the first American civilians to die for their country in the 21st century brought down Flight 93; where some of the military personnel indicted in the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, and the soldier who reported the atrocities, call home. All indicators that the events of the past few years touch the lives of all of us, no matter how remote, in profound and unexpected ways.
As a librarian I dealt in the business of information. Illness, childbirth, death, job loss, learning disabilities: were all the problems with which I helped my patrons cope. Challenges in life cannot be faced without information, nor can they be faced with bad information.
That is why I do not see this presidential race as a battle between Republicans and Democrats; I come from a long line of Republicans and no good Republican could tolerate a budget deficit of $477 billion. I do not see it as a battle of conservatives versus liberals: real conservatives could not condone the recklessness of our present administration, and the bartering of our children's economic future. I do not even see this election as a reckoning of the question: who can better lead our country - George Bush or John Kerry. Almost anyone could lead our country better than George Bush.

Enter Your Zip Code to Connect with a Lawyer Serving Your Area
Whenever you are the victim of a car accident, figuring out what your claim is worth may be the last thing on your mind. If you were injured as a result, your primary focus may be on trying to recover and get back on your feet. Once the medical bills start rolling in, the reality of how you are going to deal with all of this may prompt you to start doing the hard math.
The Baldyga Auto Accident Settlement Evaluation formula (BASE) was created by Dan Baldyga. He is considered to be a leading expert regarding how car accident claims are valued. The BASE formula calculation is determined by considering the following values:
The first step in using the BASE formula calculation is to add up all of your damages, such as medical bills, including the cost of an ambulance or prescription medications. Medical equipment or therapy needed to recover from your injuries should also be added to the total, along with the cost of lost wages.
In any personal injury claim, it is important to tally up what are called "non-economic" damages. These can include:
In addition to the above, other relevant variables will be considered. These typically include the personal character and credibility of both parties, the age, occupation and marital status of the plaintiff, and the driving record of both the defendant and the plaintiff.
Although you may be able to approximate the value of your car accident claim, negotiating with the insurance adjuster is a whole different ballgame. These folks are skilled professionals in intimidation techniques and will try you pay you the least amount possible. If your injuries are severe and you are unable to return to work, it's time to get legal help. Consult with a car accident attorney to assist you in handling your case.

Mental Health and Mental Sickness are all the time within the media nowadays. All too often the reasons are negative. So, without further ado, lets get the unhealthy information out the way first. How can the world respect and accept America as a free country when it still hates and is racist against it African citizens?

Writing a stream of consciousness birthday post was so much fun I thought we'd roll with it for Forever Family. (I first stumbled across this concept over at The Captain's Speech. Paul's sharp wit keeps me in giggles – you should check out his blog.)
So buckle up and let's go.
1. Adoption sometimes skulks around like the crazy cousin at Thanksgiving. You don't want to give it a spotlight because you love your kids like, well, your kids…but it still sits there, drinking your booze and making you have second thoughts about your decisions.
2. All the data says open adoption is healthiest, and data doesn't lie, right? Except when it doesn't apply to your particular kid. And then you're just screwed.
3. But closed adoption leaves a thousand questions unanswered, so if your kid's not good with uncertainty then that can cause trouble, too.
4. So maybe you're screwed either way. Open, closed, in between – everyone has their issues, right?
5. Ahem.
6. I know several families who adopted internationally but literally have no idea how real people manage that process. Working on the adoption for years? Handling the fact that your child lives in an orphanage? Dropping everything here to travel out of the country for extended periods? It's mind boggling.
7. If I struggle to coordinate kids' camps, family travel, and summer downtime, what are the odds I would have survived that process?
8. I'm pretty sure they're called "not betting odds."
9. So you decide to pursue adoption. I have to admit I was shocked to find out how many couples were waiting for years because they wanted to adopt a healthy white infant.
10. In all fairness, not everyone's prepared to tackle what comes along with a transracial adoption so I guess it's good those folks acknowledge that.
11. Then I wonder…okay, you feel like you'll be the best parent for a child who is the same race as yourself, but why do so many insist on a newborn? Sure, there's the baby magnet thing, but we're talking about building a family here.
12. In the interest of full disclosure BrightSide and I didn't feel equipped to adopt an older child – it takes a special family to guide kids through the trauma of being removed from their home or foster care – but that didn't mean we needed to walk out of a hospital with a baby. There are so many young children who need parents.
13. White mama. White daddy. Brown son. Brown daughter. We announce ourselves when we walk into a room.
14. It's kind of funny how surprised I am to learn someone's kids are adopted just because they're the same color as their parents.
15. The need-to-know issue gets more complex as the kids get older. I want to protect their privacy, but I don't want them left to sink or swim. Sometimes the decision is murky.
16. Friends are simple – that's always been their choice. As they get older they're becoming more discerning about who deserves their trust, and that's a valuable life skill.
17. Doctors are simple – they need this information to provide the best level of care.
18. Everyone else is…fuzzy. Teachers benefit when it comes to classroom discussion and assignments, unless my kid feels like it violates their privacy. Youth leaders fall under the same category. Camp counselors even more so since they're watching over my kids while they're away from home, but I wonder if T-man and Bear just want to be campers. Not adopted campers, not transracial family campers, but just campers.
19. In a case of God puts the right people in your life, one of the assistant principals at the middle school has particularly useful insight. He grew up in a small town community not far from here then attended A&T University, originally founded as a black college. He described what it was like to sit in class as the only white face in the room, and I finally felt like I'd met someone who at least had a hint of what life is like for my son.
20. They're good kids, and we're good parents. But I worry they'll find themselves in No Man's Land later.
21. Not black enough for the black kids, not white enough for the white ones.
22. Though that's probably a struggle pretty much every biracial kid has had to work through.
23. In a similar-but-not-the-same sort of thing, I feel like I've juggled identity often. New kid over and over again, searching for a place to fit in. Not comfortable with popular kids, but not on board with those at the other extreme. Soccer gave me the best fit everywhere I moved except for New England – there was no way to avoid feeling like a fish out of water there.
24. I still struggle with this as an adult. I don't know if I never really lost the outsider mentality or if I'm slow (like, slow motion snail slow) to open myself up to friendship…either way, it leads to looking around too many rooms and thinking how on earth did I get here?
25. Which makes it sound like I just made this all about me. This isn't the same as racial identity issues, it's just the only way I can try to empathize with my kids' experiences.

GB Wine Order Form
This order form was set up to calculate the number of bottles ordered and only allow submission of orders in multiples of 12. For some reason, this function stopped working today. Is it possible that the Rosé is not included in this calculation? Is there some way to check the form and see what's going on? Thank you.Page URL:
- JotForm SupportBDAVIDAnswered on July 04, 2017 at 07:52 PM
What is the form you are referring to? You may check if there was an edit done in the form, and revert if you want to, with the revision history: https://www.jotform.com/help/294-How-to-View-Form-Revision-History
- salamoneAnswered on July 04, 2017 at 09:31 PM
GB Wine Order Form, just as I said in my first message. The form is not working when it was working before, but there may have been changes to other things that affected the multiples. I just need someone to check to make sure that the changes made didn't affect the rest of the function of the form.
Can you check to make sure that the form still works?
- JotForm SupportliyamAnswered on July 04, 2017 at 11:09 PM
I just tested your form and it seems to be working fine. Only that the first one (Rosé) is not included in your calculations widget.
Just wondering, since you have certain products in your form with a corresponding amount, why not use a purchase order form field instead?
This field is specifically designed for product orders and gives you a total amount right away, without requiring you to have a payment gateway. This is usually used for product purchases for offline payments such as cash on delivery, etc.
- salamoneAnswered on July 05, 2017 at 01:43 AMHow do I include the Rosé in the calculations widget?
I did not know there is a purchase order form field. I will try to find it.
- JotForm SupportliyamAnswered on July 05, 2017 at 02:09 AM
You should be able to modify your form calculation widget's settings by selecting and clicking the Widget Settings button, then on the formula, just add the + sign, then click the Add Field and look for the Rose Cabernet Franc field. Select it and save your widget settings.
If you need assistance, please let us know.
- salamoneAnswered on July 05, 2017 at 10:43 AMI don't have a page like that when I go into edit mode. I found something similar and think I included the Rosé but when I did a sample order, the form let me order 20 bottles, and I thought the form was set to only allow orders in multiples of 12. How can I check to make sure that the Rosé is included, and how can I make sure that the form only allows multiples of 12?
- aubreybourkeAnswered on July 05, 2017 at 11:17 AM
I checked your form. The Rose field is present on the form but you have not included Rose to the calculation. You will need to add the field to the calculation as Liyam suggested earlier.
This is how you get the calculation wizard:
- salamoneAnswered on July 05, 2017 at 11:43 AMIf I were to use the product order form, could it be set to only submit with multiples of 12? How would I do that?
- salamoneAnswered on July 05, 2017 at 11:44 AMCan't tell if it's working or not. Also, the line break isn't working and I can't find version 3. I know you can't use in version 4, but can't figure out how to get back to version 3 to get a line break on the Pinot Gris.
- salamoneAnswered on July 05, 2017 at 11:44 AMThis is the edited form, it will allow me to order in other than multiples of 12 and I thought it was set to ONLY allow multiples of 12. How can I make sure the form will only submit upon multiples of 12? Also, the Private Reserve Pinot Gris will not take the
line break. I know I need to be in version 3 to make the line break but can't find how to get back to version 3.
- aubreybourkeAnswered on July 05, 2017 at 12:06 PM
Your form is already setup with the functionality you are asking.
If the number of bottles is not a multiple of 12 then the submit button doesnt display (and you cant submit the form).
If the number of bottles is a multiple of 12 then the submit button does display (and you can submit the form).
If you want to go to version 3, you have to go to your account settings. And you will see the option to switch between version 3 and version 4:
- salamoneAnswered on July 05, 2017 at 05:43 PMNo one has replied to my question about the form and multiples. I thought the form had been set up to allow only multiples of 12. But when I did a test, I could order 20 bottles. How can I fix the form to ensure that people can only order in multiples of 12?
- JotForm SupportBDAVIDAnswered on July 05, 2017 at 07:32 PM
It appears like you have fixed that already, if I enter a number that is not multiple of 12, the submit button is hidden, and that will not allow the form to be submitted: http://www.jotform.ca/form/61876413920256
May you be referring to another form?
- salamoneAnswered on July 18, 2017 at 01:28 PM
The page is still not working. When you enter 12 Rose, you get a total of 30. Can you tell me how to fix that?
- aubreybourkeAnswered on July 18, 2017 at 02:04 PM
I cloned your form and modified it:
The calculations were missing. So I added them again. I tested the form and it is working perfectly.
When you put 12 Rose in you get 179.88 in the calculation.
- salamoneAnswered on July 19, 2017 at 12:43 AMNo, it is still not working. When I order 12 bottles of Franc and 12 bottles of anything else, it reflects 132 bottles. THere's something wrong with the calculator and I can not see the same screen that you are seeing to know how to fix it. Please help. The total box should reflect the number of bottles ordered, and nobody should be able to order except in multiples of 12.
Thank you.
- JotForm SupportNik_CAnswered on July 19, 2017 at 03:20 AM
The issue was in the form calculation, it was missing the plus sign after the Rose field:
So just add the plus sign and it will work as intended:
I tested and they are all adding properly.
Please check and let us know how it worked.
Thank you!
- salamoneAnswered on July 19, 2017 at 10:43 AMThe form is absolutely now not working at all. Help!
- JotForm SupportNik_CAnswered on July 19, 2017 at 12:15 PM
Could you please be more precise?
The bottles are adding properly:
If you were referring to bottom calculation fields, they are empty so that's why there are no calculations there (except the first one).
We'll wait for your response.
Thank you!

Look what I found!
While I was rummaging through the pre Open Studio rubble and through a drawer I hadn't been in for a very long time, I came across these two lovely 'Bud Cluster' brooches, 'Criss Cross' brooch and pendant! Both bud pieces are made up of separate units and soldered together in stages to create these solid but delicate clusters. The 'Criss Cross' pieces are made up of hollow ovals made individually, and fused together to form this patterned sheet. For some reason or another, they all must have been put away to fix in the future as they don't seem to have any pins on them. The far in the future being now, I have decided to fix them, spruce them up and put them in my 'end of line' box! As I have done the past couple of times at Open Studios, this is a '60% off' treat for only Open Studio guests! Many more end of line jewels (smaller pieces too) to be had, so don't miss out! The 'was' prices are the actual prices they were at the time, so with silver and gold going up as they have done recently, makes them extra special bargains that are also one off pieces!
I guess if you do see it here first, I can make an exception and give you first dibs! :)

Apologies once again for not having posted for a while! It has been a hectic couple of months, but not all work I have to say! Vegas and San Francisco had been a well kept secret for six months and last month flew in and flew by just as fast! So my mum and the lovely Michael got married. It wasn't your typical Vegas wedding. I know you're all wondering if Elvis was there, but no, he wasn't. Neither did they get married down town in a white chapel. Mr & Mrs Wynn, funnily enough, decided they would get married in the beautiful wedding suites of The Wynn Hotel! A fantastic day was had by all, well all six of us!
Above is a photo of the rings. My mum's being a 'coast ring' by the very talented Miss Hannah Louise Lamb. The ring is 18ct yellow gold and is separated in two parts by the Anglesey Coastline, mainly Treaddur Bay where they live. If you haven't seen Hannah's coastline rings before, click on Hannah above. The perfect wedding ring. Each one is handmade specially and is personal to each and every couple.
Members of the wedding party including the bride herself were also wearing some familiar jewellery :) My mother's necklace and bracelet were both of the 'Butterflower' range and made from silver & 18ct gold.
My sister Lisa, was wearing her very own Donna Barry 'Blossom bud Cluster' necklace, that was specially made for her own wedding day, three years ago.
I was wearing a 'Daisy' Wrist corsage, silver & 18ct gold with gold satin ribbon and 18ct gold 'Half Daisy' earrings to compliment. And last but not least, the 'Long Bud' cufflinks worn by my partner, William Ancell :)
Above are a few pics of the day and of course the jewels!
So it's all work work work now! Holiday blues have been dealt with and I'm all geared up for the Open Studios which is 5th-7th Aug and DAZZLE 5th-29th Aug! More on these later. I have been working on a couple of new things which I'll post up next week too.
Have a good weekend!!

There is a maximum number of records you can have in a paging screen, and its 32767.
That error means the paging screen is trying to display too many records.

For what it's worth, I second your suggestion....
Posted 21 September 2004 - 09:55 PM
And more than 255 logics, and 999 lines, and the total function size should be made bigger, since its fairly easy to blow the size of a function, with just a few large filedefs and arrays. Since most of us are coding apps for machines with have more that 16K memory, it should be unlimmited.
Although, any paging screen with 32000+ records need to be thought about, because it cant be very usable by the user...

If you code clearly, and have plenty of comments, its not too bad
Oh, and while were at it, more than 999 lines in FDESC would also help, since lots of people use this for versioning a function and 999 runs out in busy functions...

I asked proiv to remove these silly limitations at the last two European User Groups.
Things like all the above and 8 character file/function names...
Apparently this would be difficult, so they are not going to do it <_<

Our major problem is with the 255 logic limit per function. Each global logic uses one of those slots, so if you have more than a few globals in a function, you can lower your ceiling quite quickly. For us, this is compounded by the fact that we often have global logics calling other global logics.
If we were asked today what limits we would like to see eased, I would ask for them to increase the function max size, and increase the 255 logic count per function. Others of you obviously bump into the other limits, but those are ours.
PRO-IV's argument, which does carry some weight, is that with the advent of global functions and the ability to call them from just about anywhere, you should be coding using smaller called functions. This approach though does not always lead to the best design and/or performance.
I doubt we will see much movement on this by PRO-IV in the near future unless we, as a unit, make a good case for it. Remember though, PRO-IV has finite resources. Is making these changes the best use of those resources? If they embark on these changes it would mean something else, possibly more important, would move down on the list. Unless we know what is on that list, we are shooting in the dark. I would like to know what features they are working on now, and what they are planning for the future.
Anyone at PRO-IV willing to give us a short and long term heads up on the next release and beyond?
Edited by Lewis Mccabe, 22 September 2004 - 03:19 PM.
Posted 22 September 2004 - 04:06 PM
To remove the basic limits they'd effectively have to create a ProIV clone that emulated all the subtle interactions that go back to the year dot to make it backwards compatible.
Some years ago, when Sushil was more interested (and probably still remembered something about it!) MDIS were trying to get him to assist him to work it all out.
If it was a simple fix then it would have been done ages ago! That's also why the basic structure and limitations of the language haven't had major changes.
Posted 22 September 2004 - 04:19 PM
Since we have some fairly complex server code & calculations we're frequently bumping into these limits!
Posted 22 September 2004 - 04:28 PM
"... the core of the code is undocumented and not particularly meaningful..."
IMHO if they cannot easily make some simple changes what chance is there of catching up with other development languages?
tell me again why are we using this
Posted 22 September 2004 - 07:18 PM
This is the first I have heard of the assembler conversion not being well documented. It does make sense why they have been loathe to make what we feel are necessary changes to PRO-IV. They had to have made that conversion back in the 80's when they first came out with version 1.5. So hopefully much of the work since then is clean and documented. How big an albatross is that old converted code? I'm sure no one will freely admit. I have to say, it does make me nervous knowing the source is not up to par. Were the various attempts at rewrites (Jade, etc.) driven in any way to get the source cleaned up?
Is there any "guest" who knows enough to fill in the blanks and give us some warm fuzzies for the future?

I have heard about life coaches and personal planners/life organizers and I think I may need one. I really need help with time-management, organization, life direction, and over all life organization. Is that what a life coach does? Serious answers only please
The best solution are on line services that can help you organize. Google Calendar, Yahoo finance, if you have Microsoft office that has many organization features. If you have a Mac, those have similar calendar and planning features.
Establishing goals is a time intensive process. Most people don't want to go through the process because it takes so much time. Only after they shell out $500 or more for a weekend planning event do they think it is actually worth spending an entire weekend on the process. In other words, if you get a book on goal setting and actually devote a whole weekend to reading and writing down your goals you can do it for almost nothing. But you have to devote the time to do it.
Considering your apparent attitude…you would do well to shell out the money.

A woman's daughter had asked the local minister to come and pray with her mother. When the minister arrived, he found the woman lying in bed with her head propped up on two pillows. An empty chair sat beside her bed. The minister assumed that the woman had been informed of his visit. 'I guess you were expecting me, he said .' No, who are you ? ' said the mother. The minister told her his name then remarked, ' I saw the empty chair and I figured you knew I was going to show up. '
' Oh yeah, the chair, ' said the bedridden woman, ' would you mind closing the door ? ' Puzzled, the minister shut the door. 'I never told anyone this, not even my daughter', said the woman.' But all my life I never new how to pray, at church I used to hear the pastor talk about prayer, but it went right over my head', I abandoned any attempt at prayer,' the woman continued, 'until one day four years ago; my best friend said to me,' Betty, prayer is a simple matter of having a conversation with Jesus. Hear is what I suggest, sit down in a chair, place an empty chair in front of you, and in faith see Jesus in the chair.It's not spooky because he promised,' I will be with you always.' Then just speak to him in the same way you're doing with me right now' So, I tried it and liked it so much I do it for a couple of hours each day. I'm careful though. If my daughter saw me talking to a chair, she would have a nervous breakdown, or put me in a funny farm.' The minister was deeply moved by the story and encouraged the woman to continue on the journey. Then he prayed with her, anointed her with oil, and returned to the church.
Two nights later the daughter called to tell the minister that her mother had died that afternoon. Did she die in peace?' he asked. Yes, when I left the house about two o'clock, she called me over to her bedside,told me she loved me and kissed me on the cheek.. When I got back from the store an hour later, I found her.But there was something strange about her death. Apparently, just before she died, She leaned over and rested her head on the chair beside the bed. What do you make of that?' The minister wiped a tear from his eye and said, ' I wish we could all go like that.'
I asked God for water, he gave me an ocean.
