Although the Administration Console allows you to manage an object store, you cannot use it to create one; the LDAP server or file-system directory that will serve as the object store must already exist ahead of time. You can then add this existing object store to the Administration Console, creating a reference to it that you can use to operate on it from within the Console.
The sample application used in this chapter assumes that the object store is held in a directory named Temp on the C drive. If you do not already have a folder named Temp on your C drive, create one before proceeding with the following exercise. (On non-Windows platforms, you can use the /tmp directory, which should already exist.)
Click on the Object Stores item in the Administration Console window's navigation pane and choose Add Object Store from the Actions menu.
Alternatively, you can right-click on Object Stores and choose Add Object Store from the pop-up context menu. In either case, the Add Object Store dialog box (Figure 2–11) will appear.
Enter a name for the object store in the Object Store Label field.
This provides a label that identifies the object store in the Administration Console.
For this exercise, type in the name MyObjectStore.
Enter the JNDI attribute values to be used for looking up administered objects:
Select the name of the attribute you wish to specify from the Name pull-down menu.
Type the value of the attribute into the Value field.
Click the Add button to add the specified attribute value.
The property and its value will appear in the property summary pane.
Repeat steps Adding an Object Store to Adding an Object Store for as many attributes as you need to set.
For this exercise, set the java.naming.factory.initial attribute to
and the java.naming.provider.url attribute to
(or file:///tmp on the Solaris or Linux platforms). These are the only attributes you need to set for a file-system object store; see LDAP Server Object Stores for information on the attribute values needed for an LDAP store.
Click OK to add the object store and dismiss the dialog box.
The new object store will appear under Object Stores in the navigation pane, as shown in Figure 2–12. The red X over the object store's icon indicates that it is not currently connected to the Administration Console.
When you click on the object store in the navigation pane, its contents are listed in the result pane. Since you have not yet added any administered objects to the object store, the Count column shows 0 for both destinations and connection factories.
Once you have added an object store, you can use the Properties command on the Actions menu (or the pop-up context menu) to display an Object Store Properties dialog box, similar to the Add Object Store dialog shown in Figure 2–11, to view or modify any of its properties.

The strange case of Jose Padilla
Judge Cooke, who allowed limited testimony from brig officials during the competency hearing, said that her ruling should not be construed as a finding on Mr. Padilla's claims of mistreatment during his detention and interrogations at a military brig in South Carolina.
"Those claims are for another day," she said, referring to another pending motion by Mr. Padilla that the charges against him be dismissed because of "outrageous government conduct."
The threshold for legal competency is low, requiring a criminal defendant to have the capacity, on a basic level, both to understand the proceedings and to communicate with his lawyers. Most incompetency claims in federal court are denied, said Christopher Slobogin, an expert in law and psychiatry at the University of Florida, and most defendants found incompetent are clearly psychotic.
If Padilla is guilty of something, of course he should be punished. No one here would argue otherwise. The trouble is that the federal government has sunk so low in the last 5+ years that it has reached a point of no longer being trustworthy. (See last week's report from the Justice Department's inspector general that found that the DOJ has routinely misrepresented the number of terrorism cases it has prosecuted.)
And this I find laughable.
In a 16-page report made public Tuesday, Rodolfo A. Buigas, a Bureau of Prisons psychologist who examined Mr. Padilla for the judge, recommended that he be found competent to stand trial. Mr. Padilla refused to submit to psychological testing, so Dr. Buigas evaluated him by talking to him for about five hours, by examining his records and the reports of experts hired by the defense, and by questioning lawyers and brig officials.
During the hearing, two mental health experts who spent over 25 hours evaluating Mr. Padilla for the defense testified that he was disabled by post-traumatic stress disorder caused by his experiences in the brig.
"I'm not sure that any of us know what happened at the brig, but I know that something there put the fear into Mr. Padilla," said Patricia Zapf, a forensic psychologist who examined him. "Mr. Padilla is an anxiety-ridden, broken individual who is incapacitated by that anxiety."
But the Bureau of Prisons psychologist, Dr. Buigas, disagreed with the diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder. He said Dr. Zapf's testing was invalidated by the fact that Mr. Padilla was handcuffed during the tests, a condition imposed on Dr. Zapf by prison officials.
First, a doctor who works for the government spent five hours with the prisoner and claims he has a better diagnosis than doctors who spent more than 25 hours with him.
But what's really rich is this. The government puts Padilla in handcuffs during his psychological exam and then claims in court that the exam isn't valid because he was in handcuffs.
That's the signpost up ahead- your next stop....you know the rest.

More and more, over the past two decades, women are taking more active roles in exploring their childbirth options. The most basic of these is whether to give birth in the home or in a hospital setting. Another fundamental question is "who do I want to assist me in the delivery of my child?" These choices and more are yours to make.
Women and the Experience of Home Birth in Lambertville, NJ :
Working throughout the area, we serve as midwives for both hospital and home birth in Lambertville, New Jersey. We are here to help you, keep you informed and to honor your decisions concerning the birth of your child.
If giving birth at home is important to you, the midwives at Midwifery Care Associates will do everything we can to help you bring it about.
The choice of low-risk women to give birth at home is seen as a recognition of the rights of these individuals and their families to share responsibility for their own birth screening and preventive prenatal care.

Should a hospital be your choice, we are affiliated with one of the best and most supportive facilities in New Jersey.

Our hospital admitting privileges at Capital Health Hopewell Campus, just off Exit 3 of I-95, make us part of the Baby-Friendly team of nurses, physicians, and helpful staff. If risk factors arise that necessitate a hospital birth, you are secure in knowing that your care will continue with your own trusted birth team.
At MCA, we believe every woman has the right to safe, sensitive care, provided with respect for her individual wishes, cultural background, and her right to self-determination. We feel the healthy family unit is the basis for our communities' and ultimately our nation's health. Our goal is to provide care in a manner which promotes family strength and unity. We share mutual responsibilities with each of our clients in promoting and maintaining high standards for quality care, and keeping the lines of communication open and honest.

We've reached the end of our free Block of the Month programme, 'Consider the Lilies'!
My Butterscotch and Roses fabric has arrived, so I hope to get started on a new project next week. I love buying fabric ranges, but it brings its own problems! It's a bit like a child in a well-stocked lolly shop, not knowing which one to choose! There are so many lovely fabrics that it takes me ages to work out which ones I will use for applique, which ones I will keep for borders, how many I will include in the sashings, what binding I will use. Oh the joys of designing!!!!
As you know, I don't make many large quilts as I'm not big on piecing. However, when I bought an irresistible range of oriental fabrics, they were crying out to be made into a quilt. It is a very simple one to show off the gorgeous beauty of those fabrics. You can find it in the current issue of Australian Country Craft and Decorating, Vol 23 No 2.
I called it "Oriental Twist":
Some months ago, I wrote up a tutorial for using the 1/4 inch bias tape maker and included instructions on how to make this Celtic knot:
Don't forget to send me photos of any of my projects you happen to make. I love seeing your interpretation of my designs.
Until next time,
Happy stitching!

The root file lists all of the commands scheduled to run and the scheduled time. The file can be edited to add tasks or change the preset ones of flushing caches. All tasks in this file will be run as root (superuser privileges). The default cron tasks has a command commented out to cause the phone to do a soft reboot everyday at 2:45 am. This may help keep phone feeling snappy each morning. Remove '#' to have this run everyday LOCKAPP / UNLOCKAPP INFO Run lockapp script in terminal or from gscript. Both scripts are located in /system/xbin. Both scripts take a single argument, the process name. For example the Miui Music player has the process name com.miui.player. You can find process names for most installed apps under /data/app (just drop the -1.apk from the name listing). To lock an app in memory you run lockapp PROCESS. For example, to lock the Miui Music player into memory, run 'lockapp com.miui.player' As a warning, Do not lock more than 1 app in memory. To lock an app in memory, the app has to be running. If the process is not running, the script will inform you. Once an app is locked into memory, the only way to remove it from memory is to kill the process. The unlockapp does extactly that. It is run with the same arguement, unlockapp PROCESS. If you wanted to unlock the Miui Music player from memory, run 'unlockapp com.miui.player' This will kill the app you are unlocking from memory. If you want it to run the background unlocked, you will have to re-run the app.

Every day we are reminded that the challenges faced in eradicating poverty are multifaceted and include complex economic, social, political, and cultural dimensions. For this reason, we work with a number of partners and experiment with many technologies to try and leverage the right community with the right skills and tools to address a given challenge.
Over the past two years, the World Bank has been experimenting with a number of platforms and partnerships to 'open' the development paradigm recognizing that we cannot solve the deep and systemic challenges posed by poverty and underdevelopment by ourselves. Our early work on Open Data and inter-active Mapping has been transformative in shining a bright light on what we know and don't, where we need help, and what can others can do with our data. We will continue to push for greater access to information for all because we believe it's the best possible way to democratize development. As we continue to learn from one another, let me share how we're thinking about these issues at the moment.
From Open Data to Open Government
Governments are starting to recognize the value of open data and geo-spatial data for improving the planning, provision and monitoring of public services. As we know, real value also lies in raw data behind tables, graphs, and maps. The numbers, shapes, lines and descriptions that capture our environments are used and re-used in ways we can't always predict. When Governments have and in turn provide access to statistics and geo-spatial data, policymakers can make better informed decisions enhancing the quality of public services provided to citizens.
The World Bank's Open Data Initiative represents a major step towards Open Development. Our Mapping for Results initiative developed with GeoIQ makes all underlying geo-spatial data and development indicators fully open and accessible where users can easily download entire datasets or access them through APIs. Similarly, the World Bank's Climate Change Portal harnesses Development Seed's Mapbox, which makes underlying climate data fully open. Furthermore, we have supported Open Government Initiatives in countries as diverse as Kenya and Moldova allowing citizens and software developers to re-use public data and create useful applications for private and public good.
Engaging Mapping Communities
In Haiti, we partnered with citizen mappers and the wider technology community to improve our response times for post earthquake relief. Our partnership with Open Street Map in Indonesia and recently Tanzania has allowed us to work with citizen mappers to geo-reference map basic social infrastructure like water points, clinics, and schools. Building on this foundation, we've collaborated with partners from local government, civic hackers, and civil society using platforms like Ushahidi to listen better to citizen feedback and engage public service providers.
Expanding Access to Geo-spatial Data
Our agreement with Google enables governments, UN, and non-profits agencies to leverage our partnership to expedite access to raw geo data like the location of schools, water points, and health facilities. In the case of natural disasters and humanitarian crises for example, we know that timing is critical for effective response. Our non-exclusive agreement seeks to improve access to useful geo data for humanitarian response and development planning.
The agreement is focused on non-commercial use of geo-data but we believe it represents a very important step in expanding access to information. Governments, UN agencies, and non-profits will now have better access to a richer set of geospatial data to address development challenges including humanitarian response. We will continue to strive for all data being open and freely accessible and look forward to engaging with others and advancing the broader conversation to make development more effective and inclusive.

Sexy, strapless, designer party dress in all your favorite colors
Attending a fabulous party whether day or night? Need that one perfect evening dress that you can sashay in no matter what exciting occasion it may be? If you're looking for a flirty and frilly short dress with pops of color or a sleek and sophisticated party dress to wear to a special evening event, come to the shopping destination that houses the right dresses to complement your personal style. Shop and score your next party dress for fall and spring. And if you're planning a certain look to wear to a special event for next season, there are many refreshing spring/summer dresses waiting for you. This party dress haven caters to all occasions – whether it's the wedding of a loved one that you're planning to attend, a romantic date, or perhaps a fabulous evening excursion with your friends at a night club or lounge, you'll certainly find the right style to match your occasion. From sleek short cocktail dresses, elaborate long dresses, strapless dresses, one shoulder evening dresses to tiered short dresses, these options are seemingly endless. You'll find the ideal look for any occasion.
Birthday party dresses
It's your day and yours alone to shine like the beautiful birthday girl you are. So finding the right birthday dress can make your event all the more special. If you're looking for a dress that's ideal not only for your special day, but for many other occasions, check out our selection of black party dresses. What can be more versatile, sexy and complimentary than a little black dress or even a long black dress for added drama and glamour? And if you want something bright and frilly, you'll love our mirrored bodice dresses with mesh tulle and even our long dresses with dramatic illusion details.
Quinceanera dresses
Turning your fabulous fifteen stands as a major turning point in your life, not to mention an unforgettable moment amid your teen years. So for this birthday, much planning and preparation is involved before you debut amongst your guests in your beautiful dress. You can opt for the traditional quinceanera dress, which usually entails a breathtaking ball gown silhouette and strapless corset bodice with sweetheart neckline, or perhaps a soft and flowing style that's reminiscent of a sweet and lovely bridesmaid dress.
Dresses for guests of a wedding
Although it's imperative that whichever dress we wear when attending a wedding, it should certainly not detract attention away from the blushing bride. However, it's a party and at the end of the day, looking fabulous is always a fashionista's top priority. So when shopping for the perfect guest of wedding dresses, look for one with vivid colors that pop and steer away from white or ivory dresses as this should be reserved for the bride. Try a hi-low dress or handkerchief dress with wispy hemlines, or perhaps a short cocktail evening dress. This way, you can definitely make some fierce moves on the dance floor with ease and mobility.
Cocktail party dresses
The little black dress always stands as the quintessential look that will last you many exciting occasions. It's a usual no-brainer that you can gravitate to when you're unsure of what to wear, but want to look your absolute best. Black adds sultry drama and allure, but you can always go daring and slip into a short cocktail dress in vibrant colors like yellows, royal blues, emerald greens, ravishing reds and so much more. Either way, having a generous selection of evening dresses in your closet guarantees that you'll make a lasting impression at the party.

Welcome to the United States Penitentiary at Leavenworth ... or as we like to call it, The Big House. Now, we've got a few rules here at The Big H, so listen up. First ... no between-meal-snacks!" (Snatches candy bar from Otis). Now that my daily Andy Griffith Show reference is out of the way, it's time to note that Michael Vick was transferred to USP Leavenworth in Kansas (not to be confused with the military penintentiary, Fort Leavenworth) on Monday. Vick is just the latest in a long line of notable guests at The Big L.
Also incarcerated at Leavenworth have been:
• Nazi spy Fritz Joubert Duquesne.
• "The Man Who Knew Too Much," Richard Case Nagell.
• 1986 Indy 500 Rookie of the Year Randy Lanier.
• Bam Morris.
• "The Bird Man of Alcatraz" Robert Stroud.
Of course, Leavenworth is now being converted to a minimum security facility, and Vick is going there to participate in a drug counseling program for non-violent offenders. If he passes, he could earn early release, and be free in time for the 2009 NFL season. That's if Roger Goodell and the State of Atlanta have nothing more to say about it.

Driving into Floodwaters: Is it worth the risk?
Oklahoma is well-known for the awe-inspiring
tornados that frequent the state
each year. However, more deaths occur
in an average year due to flooding than
from any other natural hazard.
Specifically, almost one-half of all flash
flood fatalities occur in vehicles. While
most Oklahomans respect the
destructive potential of tornadic storms
and go to great lengths to shelter
themselves and their families from such
disasters, most tend to underestimate
the force and power of moving water.
Drivers with poor judgment
attempt to navigate their
vehicles through dangerous
floodwaters. They drive
around road barricades, into
flooded underpasses, or
through water flowing across
a road.
Tragic Results of Driving into Floodwaters
• April 26, 1998—One adult and two children died as their car was swept off a road and
down a tributary of Burris Creek in Pontotoc County.
• April 27, 1998—A man died as his car was swept off a low-water crossing over Fred
Creek in southwest Tulsa, a crossing with permanent warning signs.
• June 20, 1999—A person died when his vehicle was swept off the road while attempting
to cross a low-water bridge over a branch of Pryor Creek near Adair, Oklahoma.
• June 30, 1999—The driver of a pickup truck attempted to cross a marked low-water bridge
over Evansville Creek in Adair County east of Stilwell, Oklahoma. He died when his truck
was swept off the road into fast-moving waters. Fortunately, the passenger managed to
swim to safety.
• May 2000—A Tulsa woman was killed after the car she was driving stalled in floodwaters.

Fact #1
It is often impossible to tell how deep the water is or if the
road is even there. Floodwaters often scour deep holes
and break huge chunks off paved surfaces.
Fact #2
Just a foot or two of moving water over the roadway can
provide the force to lift a car off
the road and put the lives of its
passengers in grave danger.

Accidents in floodwaters can
happen to the best of drivers.
Even if the car ahead of you
makes it through safely, you may
Fact #4
The faster you drive through
water, the less contact your tires
have with the road, making it
easier to lose control of your
Fact #5
Limited visibility makes
floodwaters especially
treacherous at night, increasing
the vulnerability of the driver to
hidden dangers.
Fact #6
Drive with special care when it's
raining. Turn back or choose an
alternate route if you encounter
moving water. Your life may
depend on it. Published by the

I may have slightly stretched the definition of "the cousins' room," just a wee bit... but I think my reasoning that it's defined as "the room containing 'everyone else'" is totally solid!

Anyway I do apologize for bringing up Rosa but the manga simply puts so much on it.
I just can't see anything else when for example Evatrice mentions Rosa dreams to be a witch and flying around like a Butterfly while Maria mentions Beatrice entered the Parlor in EP 1 by turning into Butterflies as well Rosa trapping other Butterflies into spiderwebs.
Not to mention, Evatrice being stated to be the Black Witch that is a chain of pain and sadness who's source is Eva.I mean:
EP 1- Gets mad at Maria after returning from the Adults Conference.
EP 2- Gets mad at Maria after Eva mocks her.
EP 3- Evatrice appears in the Garden to Rosa and Maria after Eva solved the Epitaph and found the gold.
And in all 3 cases Beatrice appears and in EP 4 Beatrice appears to Maria also when Rosa freaked out after coming from another business trip which at least according to wiki says were meetings with Rudolf and Eva.
I mean, a connection between Beatrice,Rosa and the Black Witch is undeniable and it all fits Mariage Sorcerie as well perfectly.

Yeah, Rosa did meet with Rudolf and Eva before the conference to plan how to extract money from Krauss, but was it stated that it was the same trip? According to the workers at her shop, she was in a trip with her boyfriend. Why would she lie saying that she was going to a vacation with her boyfriend, when she could have said that she went to have a business trip with her siblings?

Embezzlement,extracting Money,Suspecting their brother hiding Kinzos death, heck Krauss could have gone to Jail.
That's not something you discuss on a very single trip.
First of all:
Her employee merely went by what he/she heard.
And even then, Rosa had her day off so there is no need to lie to her employees but solely to Maria which can easily be explained with not wanting to drag her into the Adults business as well as wanting to keep the meetings secret at any cost.
Rudolf even calls it "A Joint Conspiracy".
No doubt the Adults intended to keep it secret at any cost as each one had their own issues they wanted to keep secret.
Hideyoshi with his stocks,Rudolf with the Trial and Rosas Endorsers.
And even then, my point still stands as Rosa once again went mad at Maria after an encounter with Eva at Atami.
So let me say it again:
In Episode 1 Rosa hits Maria after the Adults conference.
in Episode 2 Rosa hits Maria after Eva mocks her.
In Episode 3 Eva solves the Riddle and Rosa and Maria see Evatrice, stated as the Black Witch which is what Maria says about Rosa when she's mad that she's possessed.
In Episode 4 we see this at least once, on her return from Atami, a comfirmed meeting of Adults and hits Maria and potentially another time at a meeting in Sapporo where sh- really hits the fan.
And there is no disargueing that the Black Witch is linked to Beatrice.
Just look at Ange and Maria belonging to the same Alliance and both being related to the Black Witch/Evatrice.
"Marias magic of happiness severed the chain of pain and sadness that dwelled within Rosa giving her power, defeating Evatrice and giving power to Beatrice."
If Rosa is possessed,Beatrice appears.
Proof is in Episode 1, Rosa gets mad after the Conference, possessed by the Black Witch/Evatrice/Agitated cause of her hated sister,Beatrice appears to Maria while Rosa was in the Garden.Maria and Rosa make up.
Proof is in Episode 2, Gets gets mad after Eva has mocked her.Rosa is once again possessed by the Black Witch/Evatrice/Agitated cause of her sister.When Rosa went to apologize, Beatrice appears.The two made up.
Proof is in Episode 3, Black Witch = Evatrice = Mad Rosa. Evatrice (thus a mad Rosa) appears after of all people Eva solved the Riddle.Beatrice AGAIN appears to them though its stated Beatrice can't be the Golden Witch anymore and both end dead.
Proof is in Episode 4, Rosa hits Maria after her return from Atami where Eva was.
At a later scene, Rosa returns from another trip, gets mad at Maria more than ever.Maria says its the Black Witch in a crazed manner.Beatrice appears.
Note that EP 4 is the following:
Maria and Rosa on Rokkenjima are closer than ever.
Mariage Sorcerie is formed, where Sakutarou turns big when Rosa said she had plans to make a big one instead of a small one.
See it this way:
After the fight, Rosa and Maria made up and Rosa made the big one for her, Mariage Sorcerie was formed and Rosa accepted Maria and her delusions.
"The first clause is that witches accept another."
It even says that if Ange would have stayed within Mariage Sorcerie and learned Marias magic her and Eva would have had a better relationship.
That's why I say:
Mariage Sorcerie is a magical and almost abstract way of acceptance and love.
An Alliance that at first was Rosa accepting Maria with the latter having fixed the Relationship thus creating a bond of love, it gained a second member Ange who just like Maria also had a mother figure possessed by the Black Witch, yet Ange lost her belief in Magic and was excommunicated as she denied magic and Marias magic of happiness and being unable to fix her relationship with Eva.
If we think of Evatrice as the source of negative feelings caused by Eva Episode 3 potentially gains a different view.
Kyrie and Rudolf saw Evatrice - They came behind Eva solving it and acted like in Episode 7 trying to make the money their own and started by interrogating Hideyoshi who knew nothing.
Nanjo saw Evatrice - This is after Eva shot Jessica.All one needs to assume is that Nanjo believed Eva did it on purpose.
And as said, Rosa saw Evatrice because her hated Sister solved it and became head.

Considering Evatrice being exactly what the Black Witch concept is about, I find that difficult. Evatrice is for me only one possible solution that is heavily implied towards the reader for reasons that are uncovered in EP7 and 8, namely putting a lid on a box containing endless stories in the form of an obvious villain.
I agree with you when you say that Evatrice is more than Eva, but it is not only something that should be considered within the gameboard-narrative.
As I said, I fail to see what your idea contributes beyond EP3 and even there it appears incomplete as it fails to explain what then actually happened.

Does KNM ever actually give a substantial reason for Ryukishi's attributed deception?
It's fun to think about other possibilities and all, but I think saying Shkanontrice is wrong is missing the point of the story a bit. I personally prefer to look at it as either Shkanontrice isn't the only solution, or is only part of our solution, I'm sure a lot of you think it's wrong to think of it as entirely false, since we get two whole later chapters setting it up.
Just my two cents.

TBH I could except Shkanon as a lie but as far as it goes it fits all the puzzles the best. Well not the best but better than Rosatrice...
Going back to what Cronotrig said a few pages back, just because someone is suspicious doesn't mean they are the killer. Rosa is pretty suspicious based on the things that Kiltias brought up but the theory is still ultimately flawed.
So guys we should replace Rosatrice with Gohdatrice.
Episode 1: Gohda fakes his death with the help of Nanjo
Episode 2: Small bombs first twilight, kills Jessica and hides kanon's body second twilight, suggests to the other servants that Rosa is the killer and they should fake Nanjo and Kumasawa's death to fool her. After George is kicked out he kills them all. The Letter was in the room the whole time Battler was just too incompetent as a detective to notice it.
Episode 3: Gohda fakes his death, Gohda died but the Magical Chef didn't
Episode 4: He escapes the shed with the help on Nanjo. Kills everyone goes back into the shed with Maria, gives Maria the key and tells her to lock it and to go back inside to where there is a drink left for her and she will meet Beatrice if she drinks it. Maria goes back inside and drinks the poison left by Gohda and dies. Gohda suicides with a gun and string trick.
Gohda's motive is he was tired of all the servants messing with him with a stupid witch and leaving him out of there super secret things so he decided to make a murder mystery and he decided to make Battler the detective cause he heard from Shannon whining about Battler not coming back that he liked detective fiction so it made sense.
To get past the logic Error in EP6, Gohda fed Kanon a small bomb and he slipped out the window after Battler announced his location. Kanon saved Battler then hid in the closet. Gohda then activates the Small bombs kill Kanon.

During the short break at 1:00 AM, the first two to leave the dining hall were Rosa and Eva. Until Eva returned, everyone in the dining hall remained there.
Mind you, these times have to be approximate - Rosa can't have left the mansion at exactly 1:00am and ALSO run into Erika in the guesthouse at exactly 1:00am. But she definitely didn't leave the dining hall until way after the letter/knock incident had happened.
And yeah, almost everyone on this board pretty much accepts Shkanon as the intended solution, even if we don't exactly like it.

That said, he hasn't actually ever said that Shannon and Kanon are the same person in any interview AFAIK. He's certainly confirmed Shannon culprit, but he seems to leave the multiple personalities thing alone from what I've seen. Of course, read between the lines etc, but I don't think he's ever flat out stated it.

I just realized a (the?) solution to Erika's "18th human" line at the end of EP6. I'm surprised I hadn't thought of it earlier, because it fits perfectly with ShKanon Replacement Theory.
It's about the "th" in "18th". The game has had 17 people other than Erika, making her the 18th person. However, the game actually only has 16 people other than Erika, making the total, with Erika included, 17.

Well, it's not that difficult a linguistic trick.
Neil Armstrong is the first man on the moon.
There are no men on the moon.
Both of these statements are after all true; Neil Armstrong didn't stay there.
There is still some questionableness to it though. Who is the 17th person "on Rokkenjima?" Are we counting characters or what? Because allegedly Kinzo is dead before the start of the games, and there have probably been more than 18 people total on Rokkenjima in all of history (the soldiers and Italians, other servants, visitors, etc.).

And in fact, in both cases, it was the other person who pushed for their relationship to become stronger. We never see Shannon pushing for any commitment beyond a few dates and hugging (George is very forceful when he proposes to her, and her immediate reaction is to try to back out of it by calling herself furniture) and Jessica is the one who pushes Kanon to "create a new self" and presumably go out with her (and Kanon successfully backs out of it with the furniture excuse). In both cases, Jessica and George are so serious that they initially ignore the furniture excuse, with Jessica getting emotional and George sort of brushing it aside.

My gut reaction to the 18th person problem is that Kinzo is one of the people who was on the island but is no longer there. However if we consider 18th as being the 18th person to arrive since the games start, the boat captain was on the island at the start but then left. However this is probably not what Ryukishi intended but it's definitely a solution.

I think it's pretty reasonable to assume "18th human on Rokkenjima" means the "18th human participating in the game". An interpretation of the statement to mean the "18th human on Rokkenjima ever" is clearly quite absurd, not to mention demonstrably false. The statement can't even include one more person, like Kinzo or Kawabata, or the number would be different.

LeadingTheTransition needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 96 designs submitted by 23 freelance designers.
Leading The Transition - Bringing Clean Technologies to Market http://www.leadingthetransition.com
I am a young, but already very experienced, consultant in the field of clean technology. After (and during) studying both technical, innovation and energy management I got involved in the introduction of sustainable technologies such as clean vehicle technologies (bioethanol, electric cars), solar energy and smart grid applications.
At a young age I realised that I was not the right guy to do creative stuff by myself. I was far better in helping creative people to get their ideas to market.
After setting up several businesses (some succesful, some less), suddenly the opportunity arose to develop an electric car network in Amsterdam and to set up a cleantech start-up facility in the port of Rotterdam. This was something I was truly passionate about. So I grabbed the opportunity. I recently set up the business "Leading The Transition" and need a quick fix right now (in terms of logo etc). I am aware that further development in companystyle will be needed eventually. In setting up my businesses during my life I have always being loyal to the people who helped me out and I intend to keep doing that.
Both entrepreneurial engineers and governments in the field of clean technology (energy and environment).
People who are looking to "Do well by doing good".
People who are pragmatic and who know that bringing something new often means you need to improve their way of living (more performance for less energy for instance)
The name of the brand (Leading The Transition) should be included in the design.
Feel free to design a 'picture logo' next to the word logo or to integrate the two.
It must have a business / Consultancy feel
Transition is about evolution, market transformation
Best colours are Yellow and Blue (which both make Green ;-) ), but feel free to add other colours. BUT no orange and relax on the green.

There is no magic bullet. I believe that the PGI compilers have an autoparallelization option but it generally doesn't work so hot with most codes. You might get a 2x or 3x speedup, but only with datasets so huge that the problem has to be essentially embarrassingly parallel. Since you're from NOAA and are probably doing weather, it's worth noting that there is a system called SMS developed at the Forecast Systems Lab in Boulder. It only works on stencil codes (like weather forecast codes), and allows you to add a relatively small number of compiler directives to your F77 code, and it does the rest of the work. The nice thing is that it gets speedups as good as 100x on 100 cpus for real codes on real datasets. http://www-ad.fsl.noaa.gov/ac/sms.html [ I'd also love to see some non-weather people with stencil codes, which are extremely common for finite difference solutions, try SMS... ] -- greg

Vets Still Guiding Minnesota Vikings 'D' but Youth the Fuel
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) - The veterans on the Minnesota Vikings defense are still significant contributors.
Rookie Josh Robinson, who has the team's only interception, has provided an obvious upgrade at cornerback in the nickel package. Jasper Brinkley has taken over at middle linebacker without much trouble. Another first-time starter, Letroy Guion, has played well at nose tackle.
Then there's utility lineman Everson Griffen, emerging as a secret pass rushing weapon in his third season, and rookie strong safety Harrison Smith, who has given the Vikings the hard-hitting, smart, ball-hawking player they haven't had in years at that position.

Hello everyone, I am quite struggling with a question from a problem sheet. I have looked information regarding to this but I still have a hard time visualizing this and sketching it. In the question I am asked to describe using a sketch how flow separation from the cylinder may be simulated by the addition of isolated vortices and explain how vortices can be used to complete the flow. In a separate point it asks again on a sketch to show how the separation points affect the drag component of force. Any help with this would be much appreciated as well as any sources that have further information on this topic.
Thank you very much for your assistance.

RV Forum flags - click HERE
Just seen a ad for electrical surge protectors (50 amp and 30 amp) and wondering if they are necessary. If so, can you use a 30 amp with 50 amp service and vice versa.
Most surge protectors are just MOVs with a cord and socket. MOVs -- metal oxide varistors - have the property of conducting electricity like a dead short above a certain threshold voltage and hardly conducting electricity at all otherwise. They are rated in the number of Joules of energy they can take before they self-destruct. Back in the 1960s, before we had MOVs, there were gas-filled tubes, which no one uses anymore, except for special applications.MOVs are mainly effective at suppressing high-voltage transients caused by lightning strikes, which are damaging to sensitive electronics. Most higher-buck electronics have MOVs built into them for this reason. The MOVs themselves are usually just a buck or two, maybe more for a really big one.With the fancy surge protector boxes people sell, you get a plug, a socket, two MOVs (three for 50A service), and a box to hold the socket and the MOVs. The MOVs are the cheapest part. You could, quite literally, built a much better one than any that are for sale, for less than they typically sell for, by using great big giant MOVs.With great big giant MOVs, the efficacy of your surge protection is going to be limited by the AC properties of your grounding environment.They don't do much for air conditioners or lighting, because they don't do anything to fix the overvoltage, undervoltage, and dropout conditions that pose problems for these loads. For that you need one of those voltage regulating autotransformers.I don't have a surge protector on my TT. Just saying.
I disagree with one part of that statement. My surge supressor willdisconnect me from the pedestal power when the voltage gets too low...
I disagree with one part of that statement. My surge supressor will disconnect me from the pedestal power when the voltage gets too low, and not reconnect until it senses a propper voltage. In really killer heat I will usually start the generator and let my transfer switch take over.
When we were in Mx last fall, the line voltage was usually about 132VAC. Sometimes it would get up to 134VAC. When the A/C was on it would drop to 128VAC. Two questions. One, how high is too high? Two, which of these voltage control boxes would limit the high voltage and the low voltage and what are the ranges? I walked around the RV park and I found one RV that was using a line conditioner that would "compensate" for low voltage but did nothing about high voltage. Everyone else, as best I could tell either by looking or asking, did not pay any attention to the voltage. I don't think we damaged anything... all of the appliances still seem to work ok but I did fret about it.Thanks, G.
A true surge and it sounds like the 4th of july with those MOV's blowing up like firecrackers.. Trust me on that, Been there when it happened
One, how high is too high? Two, which of these voltage control boxes would limit the high voltage and the low voltage and what are the ranges?
Regarding your second question, in general, the autotransformer-based buck/boost voltage regulators, sold by Autoformer and their competition, can compensate for overvoltage the same way they compensate for undervoltage but in reverse.
I am told there is one company that does make one that will Buck high voltage
What do you mean by "Buck high voltage" ?? ... the TRC and Progressive surge guards (and others too no doubt) will cut off power in event of high voltage just like they will in event of low voltage. I have seen many people writhe that they use an Autoformer to aid with sagging voltage, and ALSO use a surge guard with over/under cut-off capabilities ...I presume to protect the Autoformer from high voltage?
I am told there is one company that does make one that will Buck high voltage.. There are several that make boosters.Alas.. I forget the name of the one that does bothIt is NOT Franks, and it's NOT Hughes, That I do recall

Diamond Jubilee: Pomp and celebrations defy the rain
Fireworks scratched colours into the slate grey sky after being unleashed from the top of Tower Bridge as the historic royal flotilla finished gliding along the Thames.
This signalled the end of the Diamond Jubilee pageant in London, but other events did not survive in the wet weather - namely the cannons primed to explode confetti and a helicopter flypast, which was cancelled because of visibility.
The fine, yet unrelenting, rain did not show mercy either to the soaked singers who gamely sang the national anthem in the closing stages.
These events were the dying embers of a day that had seen fun, food, celebrations, dressing up and several renditions of the national anthem, as well as a protest against the monarchy - all stubbornly carried out despite the rain.
At the start of the day, some revellers heading to the capital had their plans disrupted by overcrowding on the train network, with reports of passengers left behind on platforms because carriages were full.
Others stayed at home to celebrate, with almost 9,500 roads shut across England and Wales for parties.
Those in the capital threw themselves into the celebrations, none more so than those who attended the Big Jubilee Lunch in Piccadilly, made up of a long line of tables in this usually traffic-choked street.
Wandering down Piccadilly, resplendent in their tiaras and red, white and blue outfits, were three friends - Jodie Merrylees, 27, from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, Charlotte Symonds, 30, from Brighouse, West Yorkshire, and Jodie Cosgrove, 27, from Leeds.
Ms Symonds said: "I really like the Royal Family and the tradition it represents. I was at the royal wedding too and that was brilliant. We wanted to dress up for the Jubilee and get involved with the atmosphere to feel part of the celebrations."
It became an even more grand event when the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall arrived, walking down the line of tables and even stopping to sit down on a potentially soggy seat to chat to some of those munching their food.
Street parties were definitely popular on the day, particularly in Bristol, which had more applications for road closures than in other city outside London.
Revellers there gathered in a red, white and blue-bedecked Millennium Square, which boasted its own "make your own corgi" attraction.
Inspired by the Thames pageant, Andrew Southerden, a landlord in Kibworth, Leicestershire, transformed his pub into HMS Coach & Horses, affixing portholes, liferafts, funnels and a bow to the building.
Party-goers in Richmond Park, Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, were able to snap up food at 1950s prices. Hot dogs were 7p, bacon sandwiches 9p and a cup of tea just 2p.
In Belfast, Samuel and Margaret Sloan, 80, were celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary as well as the Jubilee at a tea party thrown by the city's Lord Mayor. "It is a great honour," said Mr Sloan, a retired motor mechanic. "She is a very gracious Queen and she does care for the people."
More than 300 official street parties took place across Wales. Cardiff's St Mary's Street hosted a Big Lunch celebration while hundreds attended a similar event in Swansea.
A beach party was rained off in Rhosneigr, close to the Anglesey home of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, but the party went ahead regardless - a picnic was held in the village hall instead, attended by hundreds of people.
Ten street parties took place in Edinburgh, with the Scottish capital understood to have made a third of all of Scotland's street party applications.
But not everyone taking part supported the royal family's constitutional role.
Abigail Burnyeat, who attended a street party in Edinburgh's Stockbridge, told the BBC she enjoyed herself but did not see the event as an endorsement of the monarchy.
"It's a celebration of community," she said, adding: "I wouldn't examine it too closely."
As the Diamond Jubilee pageant began, its 1,000 vessels were greeted along the route by 1.2 million spectators, according to the organisers.
Crowds lined the banks of the Thames, some climbing up onto window ledges of nearby buildings to try to get a better view, all thankful that by now the skies were holding onto their raindrops.
On Lambeth Bridge, a carefully controlled number of the public were allowed on, each choosing a side to stand on, to either watch the pageant arrive or see it pass off into the distance.
As it approached, the smaller boats before the bigger ones, great cheers rose up, as did the crackling of plastic flags. That sound reached a crescendo when the royal barge approached, prompting many hands to raise mobile phones and cameras, like electronic meerkats desperate for a view.
Among those on the bridge was Marilyn Griffiths, 59, from Ledbury, Herefordshire, decked out in a union jack hat, earrings and carrying a flag.
She described the pageant as "spectacular", adding: "I just love the Royal Family and admire them all for what they do. They all work so hard. I wanted to come here to show my support."
By the end of the pageant the rain had become almost torrential, with everyone wet through.
And yet the good humour of the crowd survived, with one man even enjoying a rather soggy ice cream.
The last of the steam boats sailed by sounding their horns together and drawing cheers from the flag-wavers along Tower Bridge.
"I saw the Queen," shouted one small child to his mother. It was certainly an achievement for all.

Who Are the Top 11 Women Who Inspire You?
Take a moment and think of the women who inspire you. Make a list. Who are the top 11 women? Would you include a construction worker from Jamaica? How about a midwife in Sudan or a jewelry maker in Costa Rica? What about a student from India or a small business owner in Egypt?
When most of us think about people who inspire us, we consider world leaders, celebrities, or those who've changed the course of world history. Or we might think of individuals who have had a significant influence in our lives—our role models or people we strive to emulate. The people who make it to our "inspiration list" are there because we relate to them, regardless if we're man or woman.
As we celebrate International Women's Day this week, we present 11 stories of women around the world who've made amazing strides to achieve their goals and make long-lasting impacts on the lives of their children, families and communities.

- You will want to measure your child (bare-skinned) with a smooth tape measure and make sure that the child is relaxed to ensure room for comfort. Get an actual measurement-do not place your finger or give an inch, you will want exactly what she is in inches. If you do not have a soft tape measure, then you can always take a piece of string or ribbon, and lay it down on the tape measure to get the number.
- Chest: Take the tape measure under her arms and go directly over the bust line.
- Waist: Go around them with the measuring tape right at the belly button. Some children have a slight pooch belly, so you will want to measure the widest point of where it sticks out.
- Length: Take the tape measure from the top of the child's shoulder to the floor. You will take the tape measure all the way down the front of her and see where it falls on the leg. For ballerina length, the dress should fall between mid-calf to ankle.
- Please keep in mind that most of our dresses should fall between mid-calf to ankle so looking at the length measurement is important. Some sizing charts are generic ones provided to us from the manufacturer so please look at where the dress falls on the model or mannequin and consider the length it would be on your child.
- If you have measured your child and still have questions regarding sizing we are more than happy to help you find the best size. Please submit an email to our Sizing Department and we will help suggest the size you need. Please note when submitting a sizing inquiry, the information needed is: age, chest, waist, top of shoulder to floor measurement and the wear date. Please note that the assistance you receive should be taken as a suggestion only as the child is not in front of us.
Please note:
- Eligible items can be returned or exchanged within 30 days of the date received.
- Any item that states "Special Order" in the availability line are ordered specifically to cover and fill your order-therefore they are eligible for EXCHANGE ONLY. You may use this credit for future use one year date of issue for anything on our website.

Drownings Didn't Have to Happen
The two drownings at Falls Park are a tragedy, and there's no doubt about it.
Two people trying to help rescue a six-year-old boy from the water, one of them the boy's 16-year-old sister, are lost. The river is really running, the ice can be two feet thick and the foam can be anywhere from six to ten feet deep, making rescue very difficult.
But I keep coming back to this: Those two drownings didn't have to happen.
There's no use in pointing fingers now, but the fact remains that the Big Sioux River, or any other river, can be a dangerous place if you get too close.
A reporter asked Sioux Falls Fire Rescue Chief Jim Sideras if he expected more fences to be put up at Falls Park, and of course he said no. But he points out that while the Falls are the crown jewel of Sioux Falls, and that people should enjoy them, we all need to be careful.
Chief Sideras says the rocks along the river can be slippery when they get wet, and the mist from the Falls can turn them icy when the weather is right.
And for that matter, you could fence off the river all the way around Sioux Falls, and someone would still climb over to get closer to the water.
The point I'm making is this: No law is going to make people more careful, so it's up to all of us.
If you bring your children to the Falls, that's great. Enjoy them and have a good time. It's one of the most beautiful places I know.
But keep an eye on the kids, and make sure they, and you don't get too close.
We've already had far too many drownings.

Pot dealer in Washington State offered 'bulk discounts' on his business cards
A drug dealer who kept business cards offering "bulk discounts" and home delivery will serve a year in prison for selling marijuana and having two other drugs without a prescription.
Marc David Wesley, 43, of the Kendall area, was sitting alone in a black sedan outside of a furniture barn on Guide Meridian on July 2, 2011, when a sheriff's deputy approached him, according to court records. The deputy could smell marijuana. Wesley consented to a voluntary search.
Inside, the deputy found a pound of fresh marijuana, packaged in freezer bags and labeled with "name brands," wrote Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Jeffrey D. Sawyer. Wesley had used ledgers to keep track of how much the different strains of marijuana were worth. Business cards with Wesley's name touted bulk discounts for medical marijuana delivery.
More than 50 hydrocodone pills and three clonazepam pills were found in the car and in Wesley's shirt pocket. He didn't have a prescription for either drug. Wesley also had $960 in cash on him, and said he'd "earned" $450 that day by selling marijuana in King and Whatcom countiesIn court documents, Wesley's defense attorney Thomas Dunn argued his client had a legitimate medical marijuana license. A patient prescribed with medical marijuana in Washington state can have up to 1 1/2 pounds of the plant. According to Dunn, Wesley's license was confiscated and he was unlawfully detained.
But the case never reached trial. In a plea deal brokered this month, prosecutors dismissed a bail jumping charge and Wesley accepted a recommended sentence of a year and a day in prison.
Wesley was sentenced by a judge last week for possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, possession of hydrocodone and possession of clonazepam.

Drinking Water Security Information and Resources
Drinking Water Security Information and Resources
The Bioterrorism Act requires community drinking water systems serving more than 3,300 persons to determine its vulnerabilities from a terrorist attack or other intentional acts and to defend against adversarial actions that might cause a system to lose the ability to provide a safe and reliable supply of drinking water. The requirements of the Act assign the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and water utilities responsibilities to enhance water sector security and to develop response measures for potential threats to the nation's water supplies and systems, as outlined below.
Requirements for Community Drinking Water Systems
The Bioterrorism Act requires every community water system serving more than 3,300 persons to
- Conduct a vulnerability assessment.
- Certify and submit a copy of the vulnerability assessment to the EPA Administrator.
- Prepare or revise an Emergency Response Plan, or ERP, based on the results of the vulnerability assessment.
- Certify to the EPA Administrator, within six months of completing the assessment, that an emergency response plan has been completed or updated.
