That is there is no way to say that one is better than the other except for a very particular situation. This is exacerbated by the fact that different MPI implementations handle communication between processes on the same CPU differently, and some vary further by the choices made during ./ configure. charlie

When we got home, we put the large bag the turkey was in on the floor for Sophie to play with. She loves paper bags ... don't all cats? Here she is looking rather smug inside the bag - daring us to come near. I think one reason she dove right in was the smell of the turkey!
I took Sophie to the vet last earlier this week for a final check and to see about some sort of sedative for the long drive to the Squash House. Unfortunately the vet detected a rather pronounced heart murmur, which means it isn't safe to give her any kind of sedative. Sophie does not like car rides, either! So he suggested we invest in a larger carrier to help make the trip a bit more comfortable for her.
I went to the pet store this morning and came back with this wonderful soft-sided castle! The sides zip up and down and even the roof has a zippered opening! It fits her lambskin Orvis bed and it you turn it sideways, a small litter box as well! I set it up when I got home, put the bed in and rubbed catnip all over it. She's been in and out, but so far is sleeping on her other bed nearby! Hopefully she'll at least get familiar with it before we leave!
I hope to have one more post before leaving on Tuesday morning. That's my plan, but it may not happen. If for any reason you don't hear from me either in a post or email, it probably means we've turned off our computers here, only to appear on "the other side" shortly!

I don't remember what the cooling capacity is of a refrigerator, but I sort of doubt it -- all kidding aside. And the problem is, that if you exceed the cooling capacity you've actually got your nodes in a sealed, insulated box... Even a crazy grad student can e.g. go to wal-mart or target and purchase a cheap wall-mount AC. It doesn't take much to remove a few hundred watts (per node). All you need then is a some creativity and ductwork to move the hot air outside (or "upstairs" or "elsewhere" while keeping the cold air directed on the fronts of the systems. Or make your own "refrigerator" by mounting the AC on the side of a box containing the systems, which I wouldn't completely seal -- just channel the cool airflow through. That might cost you $100-200 total, not an insane hit. > Perhaps even two nodes in one of those small college student beer > cooler fridges - a 12 pack is roughly the size of a mini-tower...

Sugar: A Bittersweet History
Penguin Canada, 2008 - History - 453 pages
Sugar: A Bittersweet History offers a perceptive and provocative investigation of a commodity that most of us savour every day yet know little about. Impressively researched and commandingly written, this thoroughly engaging book follows the history of sugar to the present day. It is a revealing look at how sugar changed the nature of meals, fuelled the Industrial Revolution, generated a brutal new form of slavery, and jumpstarted the fast-food revolution.

Baggies claim narrow victory
West Brom coach Steve Clarke left out leading scorer Shane Long against his former club and saw his replacement Romelu Lukaku net a second-half winner against Reading in a 1-0 victory at the Hawthorns.
But it needed the second half introduction of three-goal Long to tee up the winner for on-loan Chelsea striker Lukaku in his first Barclays Premier League start for the Baggies.
Victory enabled Albion to complete a trio of wins in their opening three home fixtures of a top flight campaign for the first time in 58 years.

When to Give Up on Finding Your Dream Career
Chrissy Scivicque | Careerealism
June 20, 2011
Everyone wants a job they love. We all want to wake up excited to go to work, spend our days accomplishing goals we're proud of, and come home feeling pleasantly fulfilled. Oh, and somewhere in there, we'd like a paycheck that provides us with a comfortable lifestyle and may one day put our kids through college.
That's the dream anyway. But, in reality, we often have to settle for less. We put our dreams on hold in order to put food on the table. That perfect, dream career is exchanged for a livable wage, a decent commute and stability.
To say you should never give up on finding that dream career sounds a bit naïve. I understand the world requires us to make sacrifices and, at times, we have to put the needs of our families above our personal desires for career fulfillment. But I still encourage everyone to hold tight to the dream. Not because I think it will one day magically come true. But because nothing is permanent. And, even if you have to momentarily let it go, it's not to be forgotten completely.
The Path Changes
Many people have told me the path to their dream career looked nothing like what they expected. They took non-traditional roads and explored uncharted territory to get there. It seemed for a while that they were off course. And then, amazingly, they were able to guide their current path in the right direction.
This happened to me, in fact. I had buried my dream of being a writer and was working as an Executive Assistant. I channeled my creative energy into a blog, where I wrote about my challenges at work and how I was overcoming them. My writing was seen by millions and a few years later, I sold my blog and became a full-time writer. I never would have expected the path I was on as an Executive Assistant would lead me to my dream of being a writer. I had to manipulate the path somewhat and turn it into something a little different, but it worked.
The Destination Changes
I've known many people who tell me they woke up one day and realized they were in their dream career, and it was nothing like what they thought it would be. The job they had taken to make ends meet on the way to another destination turned out to be more than just a stop along the road.
A friend of mine, struggling to become an actor, finally accepted a full-time position as a customer service trainer. About a year into the gig, he told me wasn't interested in going on auditions anymore. He felt he had "fallen" into his dream career and it was something he never expected. Sure, it wasn't as glamorous as being a movie star, but he felt fulfilled. He was using his talents in a way he had never thought of before.

You'd get the services of one of the instutional SA army for your monthly fee. If you have a "computing project" (say, building a cluster), and a fulltime SA is part of the project, then you'd not buy the institutional services. Your private SA is then responsible for all the institutional requirements (which can be substantial). Such computers are "unsubscribed" computers, and you have to go through a (fairly simple) justification process to explain how it's not actually a desktop. (The cost to provide "desktop" support within an organization has been documented as being higher than from the outside vendor) The institutional contract is very much oriented towards "desktop" services, not towards "software development support". We have hundreds of computers that are not subscribed, and which have dedicated SA services, provided by inhouse staff. I think that rgb is right, though, that there are certain size and structure organizations for which things are different. It's tied to the "granularity" of buying people. For very small organizations, it's the "office mgr as admin" model, and they might call a consultant in for more complex things (I used to earn my living doing just this.. I'd do the server configs, cabling, etc, set up accounts, etc., build scripts.) I think the threshold for this is when SA duties are down in the few hours/week range. Then there are very large organizations (like JPL, or Fortune 500 companies) for which standardizing desktops and centralized support make sense. In between, it's when you have organizations that have enough work to justify about a full time person (or, maybe, 1/2 a person) for their SA job and moving up to a few FTE. You likely have some SA reserve capacity, so the incremental cost for adding one computer is small (as in almost zero), and in this situation, the choice between delta pay for an SA (zero) and $150/month for a service contract is an easy one to make. Overall institutional structure has a lot to do with it. Academia, in general, has a strong departmental structure, and individual departments tend to be run as independent businesses. As a result, they're sort of working like small/medium sized businesses, with the same zero delta $ for SA vs monthly fee. Some departments are full of technically skilled folks, some of whom for which the incremental hourly cost is very low. If you have someone on salary, "can you spend a half hour looking at my computer" is free (until that poor SA gets overloaded and burns out, or graduates). And, small entreprenurial organizations are incorrigble optimists. (anyone in academic research has to be an optimist,.. The bold grant proposal typically wins.) They will willingly accept the risk that something that is expensive to fix won't crop up. Very small organizations take the risk, because they can't afford otherwise. More than one small company has gone out of business because their computer died, taking all the business records with it. Very large organizations are conservative. To a certain extent, the monthly fee is sort of like insurance.. You can gamble that no "big problem" crops up that is beyond your inhouse SA capability, and that you can do minimal SA work. OTOH, you can pay the monthly fee, and when a disaster occurs (a virus infects all your computers, or there's a regulatory compliance edict that requires you to do something to all 50 of your computers), the service provider sucks it up and does it. (on the odds that not everyone has a problem at the same time) Jim

Melvyn Bragg is bringing his South Bank Show back to Sky with a year's worth of TV including interviews with Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe and John Lloyd - the man behind shows including Spitting Image and Blackadder.
The broadcaster will present six new shows, including interviews with novelist Kate Atkinson, playwright Abi Morgan, and a special episode on King Lear with contributions from actor Simon Russell Beale and director Sam Mendes.
There will also be 30 updated episodes from the archives of the long-running show, which counts names including Francis Bacon, Iggy Pop, Luciano Pavarotti and Sir Paul McCartney among its guests, and a series of 15 masterclasses.
Bragg said: "I'm delighted. It's like holding a royal flush. The South Bank Show continues to profile the best artists of the day; The South Bank Show Originals will remodel new programmes from old; and the masterclasses will give young people access to leading artists.
"In short, you could say we will inform, educate, and entertain. And next year of course, there will be another South Bank Sky Arts Awards - and all under one brand."
The show, which returns to Sky Arts in May with the new episodes, was dropped in 2009 when ITV decided not to continue with the series after more than 30 years.
Bragg - who also sits in the House of Lords - later said he was "baffled" by the decision to axe the show.
Phil Edgar-Jones, director of Sky Arts, said: "The South Bank Show has a natural home on Sky Arts.
"From its inception, Melvyn's aim was to challenge the boundaries between traditional and popular arts; and that's very much what we try to do on Sky Arts. We're delighted that we're able to bring The South Bank Show, in all forms, to our customers."

Georgia Engel Joins The Reunion As Recurring Character Mamie Sue
New York, NY - March 22, 2013 - TV Land announced today that the ladies of "Hot in Cleveland" will soon be getting some special visitors in town as Mary Tyler Moore, Valerie Harper and Cloris Leachman reunite with their co-star of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," Betty White. In the episode, Elka (Betty White) and Mamie Sue (Georgia Engel) decide to get their bowling team back together, aptly named GLOB: the Gorgeous Ladies of Bowling. The team, which includes Elka, Mamie Sue, Diane (Moore), Peg (Leachman) and Angie (Harper), had a falling out decades ago after their championship season went to their heads. This is the first time in over 30 years that the five former castmates will be reunited on the sitcom stage. Mary Tyler Moore previously appeared on "Hot in Cleveland" as Elka's cellmate in a season two episode.
Shows like 'Hot in Cleveland,' which stars four women, would not be here today without 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show' and its incredible female-led cast," said Larry W. Jones, President, TV Land. "Mary, Valerie, Cloris, Georgia and of course our Betty were all pioneers for women in television."
TV Land's hit sitcom "Hot in Cleveland" returns for its summer season with a LIVE episode on Wednesday, June 19 at 10pm ET. The west coast will receive the live-to-tape version three hours later at 10pm PT. The series, which was just picked up for a fifth season, stars television favorites Valerie Bertinelli ("One Day at a Time,"), Jane Leeves ("Frasier"), Wendie Malick ("Just Shoot Me!") and Betty White ("The Golden Girls").
"The Mary Tyler Moore Show" centered around Mary Richards (Mary Tyler Moore), an ambitious, young and single assistant producer, and her career at the fictional WJM-TV News. With her best friend Rhoda Morgenstern (Valerie Harper) and resident busy-body Phyllis Lindstrom (Cloris Leachman), Mary tackled the stereotypes of being an independent working woman in what was typically a "man's world." The show also starred Ed Asner as Mary's tough-love boss, station producer Lou Grant, Gavin MacLeod as cynical head news writer Murray Slaughter, and Ted Knight as the dim-witted anchorman Ted Baxter. Moore's company, MTM Enterprises, produced the series for CBS.
"Hot in Cleveland" is executive produced by Emmy(R) Award-winner Sean Hayes ("Will and Grace") and Todd Milliner of Hazy Mills Productions ("Grimm") and is helmed by Emmy(R) Award-winning Suzanne Martin ("Frasier," "Ellen") who serves as executive producer, show runner and head writer. Lynda Obst also serves as executive producer, and Larry W. Jones and Keith Cox are executive producers for TV Land. "Hot in Cleveland" is currently seen around the world in over 190 countries.

Apple is da bomb! Vulnerability found in battery circuitry
Subject: Editorial, General Tech | July 25, 2011 - 10:24 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Malware, apple
Okay, so the title is more joke than anything else but security researcher Charlie "Safari Charlie" Miller discovered a vulnerability in Apple devices, sort of. This exploit, which appears to not actually be a security flaw and rather just an over-permissive design, allows an attacker to gain access to your battery control using one of two static company-wide passwords. Charlie has discovered many exploits in the past several years on the OSX and iOS platforms. One of the most high profile attacks he discovered involved a data-execution vulnerability in the iPhone's SMS handling: under certain conditions your iPhone could potentially confuse inbound text messages as code and run it with high permissions.
Malware assaults and battery charges.
(Image from Apple, modified)
So what does having the ability to write to a laptop's battery firmware mean? Firstly, remember the old advice of "Get a virus? Reinstall your OS!"? Well assuming you actually can perform a clean install without ridiculous hacking (thanks Lion) the battery controller can simply re-infect you if the attacker knows an exploit for your version of OSX. But how does the attacker know your current version of OSX? Well if you are installing from an optical disk they just need to know a Snow Leopard RTM exploit; unless of course you extract Lion from the Mac App Store and clean install using it – assuming the attacker does not know an exploit for Lion or simply just infects the reinstall media if you created it from the infected computer. True, malware is about money so it is highly unlikely that an attacker would go for that narrow of a market of Mac users (already a narrow-enough market to begin with) but the security risk is there if for some reason you are a tempting enough target to spear-phish. Your only truely secure option is removing the battery while performing the OHHHHHHHH.
You know, while working (very temporarily) on the Queen's University Solar Vehicle project I was told that Lithium cells smell like sweet apples when they rupture. I have never experienced it but if true I find it delightfully ironic.
While that would all require knowledge of other exploits in your operating system, there is a more direct problem. If for some reason someone would like to cause damage against your Apple devices they could use this flaw to simply break your batteries. Charlie has bricked nine batteries in his testing but has not even attempted to see whether it would be possible to over-charge a battery into exploding. While it is possible to force the battery controller to create the proper conditions for an explosion there are other, physical, safe guards in place. Then again, batteries have exploded in the past often making highly entertaining Youtube videos and highly unentertaining FOX news clips.
Video News
It's not an Apple thing, per se: security is hard. Very very hard. The worst thing to do, security wise, is be complacent. If you think you have a quick and easy method to total security with no caveats you are wrong.
In this case, it is an apple thing as batteries are non removeable, and this exploit is has the potential of being physically dangerous.
Nah, any storage of energy if it is forced to release it too quickly is problematic. Does Apple's non-replaceable battery make it any more inherently dangerous? Well there's physically more battery in there so if it does explode it will make a bigger effect but no more likely than any other battery that it will explode.
What Apple's non-replaceable battery does is prevents you from removing the infected device meaning that an attack could keep jumping from the OS to the battery to the OS to the battery as you reinstall the OS or the Firmware provided you cannot overwrite both before it replicates. That said, unless you're (for instance) the Dalai Lama who needs to worry about the Government of China throwing probably millions of dollars into hacking him specifically, it is highly unlikely that someone would put that much money in malware.
This reminds me of those car tire wireless censors that have been exploited.

On March 1, the Medeu District Court in Almaty denied the weekly's appeal and left in place a ban on the paper's distribution that had been imposed in mid-February. The ban will remain in place until the newspaper pays 60 million Kazakh tenge (approximately US $400,000) in damages to the partially state-owned BTA Bank, the Almaty-based press freedom group Adil Soz reported.
The damages, which the paper had unsuccessfully appealed, were awarded in a lawsuit BTA Bank filed against Respublika in the summer of 2009, alleging that a March 2009 article about the bank's financial standing published in the weekly resulted in client withdrawals of funds. The paper disputed the claim, saying that the information it reported was true and that the bank's financial woes had already been widely covered elsewhere in the local press.
In September 2009, the Medeu District Court sided with BTA Bank and ordered the newspaper to pay the damages. Sergei Utkin, Respublika's legal counsel, told CPJ that the imposed distribution ban hampers the paper's ability to pay. The newspaper continues to appeal while it publishes online only, Utkin told CPJ.
"The ongoing politicized prosecution of the independent
weekly contradicts the mission and core values of the OSCE," said CPJ Europe
and Central Asia Program Coordinator
Unable to pay the crippling fine, Respublika turned to its readers for help, and has already paid some 8 million Kazakh tenge (about US$54,000) to the bank, Utkin told CPJ. Utkin said the newspaper was planning to continue payments, which partially came from its sales revenue, but the distribution ban imposed in mid-February stalled the process.
Respublika-Delovoye Obozreniye has long been known for its openly critical stance on government policies. It has covered human rights violations, economic crimes, and government corruption, and it has long endured official harassment, CPJ research shows.
After the September 2009 ruling, Almaty court officers
confiscated the weekly's print run and froze the bank accounts of its publisher.
The same month, court officers raided
and sealed the Almaty-based printing house Kometa-S, which offered its
printing services to the embattled weekly, the Kazakh service of the

Emergency Lilac
So you're about to go on a week end away, you're all packed but you didn't get the chance to do your nails because you actually started packing at 11pm the night before. You quickly pack some nail polish, before you hop on the train, or you think you did but you can't find the darn bottle.
What to do? Chances are that if you're going on a city break, you won't probably be too far from a Superdrug, when you can pick up some 'emergency' nail polish. Now, 2true nail polish in shade 14 might not be the most exciting shade out there, but it's one of these handy colours which will go with anything and which will quickly make your bare nails presentable enough to visit his parents in two easy coats. More importantly, it's incredibly good value for money (£1.99) and the application is a doddle thanks to the flat brush.
2true polishes (well, the 'creme' finish skinny bottles anyway) are too good quality to be relegated to the status of 'emergency' polishes. In fact, it's almost an insult to the brand to treat them that way. Next time you're in Superdrug, give their stand a chance. Despite its low prices and the young audience that it therefore attracts, 2true has some gems which are 2good to be overlooked.
I particularly cannot wait for the release of the 2true paper lashes, for a funky accent on the outer corner of the eye. Paperlashes are usually so much more expensive that normal so I am really interested to see how much 2true budget brand will sell them for.
What: 2True nail polish in shade 14
How much: £1.99
Where: Superdrug and 2true online.
Purchased the product myself.

Huntington Beach is known as Surf City USA, but another board will strengthen its foothold in the city when Vans holds a ground breaking ceremony on its "Off the Wall" Skatepark on Thursday morning.
The world-class skateboarding and BMX complex will be at the corner of Gothard Street and Center Avenue, approximately 32,000-square feet with areas for vert and street skaters and complete with a skate shop provided by Jack's Garage.
"Vans has always been in Huntington Beach and they always called it Surf City USA," said Steve Van Doren, son of Vans co-Founder Paul Van Doren and a life-long Vans employee and Costa Mesa native. "We were always friends with the city and we thought if any place should have a skate park, it's Huntington Beach."
VF Outdoor Inc., a subsidiary of Vans' parent VF Corp., entered into a lease agreement with Huntington Beach on Jan. 27. The City Council unanimously approved a plan to lease the near three-acre site for $1 a year for 20 years, with two 10-year options to renew, in return for Vans covering the cost to build and maintain the skate park, which will be constructed by California Skateparks and should cost about $2.5 million, Van Doren said.
City Councilman Joe Carchio was excited about what the new complex could mean not only for skaters all around Orange County and the country, but the entire city with Vans covering so much of the costs while making it free to the public.
He said he hopes the venue will be complete in six months.
"I wish I could skateboard," Carchio joked.
The park, which will sit off the 405 Freeway's Beach Boulevard exit, is hoped to generate sales tax revenue by attracting more business to the city. Bella Terra, an outdoor shopping center that is less than a mile away from the site, is expected to get a boost, as the skating venue will also host professional and amateur skating and BMX events, according to Van Doren.
"Hopefully, [the events] will be in the neighborhood of our surf contests where the prize money will bring in top-notch skateboarders," Carchio said. "We will be able to promote the city as a skate city and a surf city. I don't think we are going to change our name, but hopefully it brings in some high-quality people."
The complex will hold a 15,000-square foot skating bowl area and a 12,000-square-foot skate plaza, with rails and other small obstacles to mimic a street environment. It will be from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily and include a restroom, drinking fountain and parking lot.
It's also the first outdoor skate park Vans has completely funded. The company also operates an indoor, pay-to-skate park at the Block at Orange.
Carchio said the city had been under "some pressure from the skate community" to provide a quality skate park after it closed a skate park on Main Street a few years ago.
"There's really nothing here for skaters," said renowned professional vert skateboarder Christian Hosoi, a Huntington Beach resident since 1993. "The closest legitimate skatepark is the Vans Skatepark at the Block, and outside of that you had to go to Costa Mesa or Venice Beach."
Hosoi said the new complex will be a one-stop-shop for vert and street skaters, as well as bikers, all over Orange County. He hopes it might inspire one of his three sons, ages 3, 6 and 15, to pursue the same career path he did.
"To see this happening in my backyard where my kids can go, where they can go learn and have a safe haven, is awesome," said Hosoi, who helped design some of the bowl areas at the new park. "Skateboarding gives them a platform to be whoever they want to be."
After being in the planning stages for years, Huntington Beach should have its new skate park in about six months, Carchio said.
"It's an exciting time for us," he said. "Once those shovels go in the ground, the thing is going to go pretty quick."

The Writing Family History Narratives and Other Genealogical Works course with Dr. John Philip Colletta and Dr. Thomas W. Jones, has proven to be so popular that a second session has been added. The first session scheduled for July 25 - 29, 2011 filled quickly and so another is scheduled for August 1 - 5, 2011. This course is sponsored by the Center for Professional Education at Boston University and is a followup to their Genealogical Research Certificate Program. The program is held on campus at Boston University.
I am not surprised that there are so many genealogists interested in this course, as I would love to take it myself. I am focusing on genealogical writing this summer and am excited to attend the Writing and Publishing for Genealogists course with Dr. Thomas W. Jones at the Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research (IGHR) in June.
Both Dr. John Philip Colletta and Dr. Thomas W. Jones are excellent instructors and teach writing courses on a regular basis. Dr. Jones' writing course at IGHR runs on an annual basis (and fills to capacity on the first day of registration), and Dr. Colletta will teach "Producing a Quality Family Narrative" at the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy in January of 2013.

The Path class is the way to visualize a fairly complex vector-based drawing language in a XAML UI; for example, you can draw Bezier curves.
Important APIs: Path class, Windows.UI.Xaml.Shapes namespace, Windows.UI.Xaml.Media namespace
Two sets of classes define строгие родители последствия region of space in XAML UI: Shape classes and Geometry classes.
The main difference between these classes is that a Shape has a brush associated with it and can be rendered to the screen, and a Geometry simply defines a region of space and is строгие родители последствия rendered unless it helps contribute information to another UI property.
You can think of a Shape as a UIElement with its boundary defined by a Geometry. This topic covers mainly the Shape classes.
The Shape classes are Line, Ellipse, Rectangle, Polygon, Polyline, and Path.
Path is interesting because it строгие родители последствия define an arbitrary geometry, and the Geometry class is involved here because that's one way to строгие родители последствия the parts of a Path.
For a Shape to render to the app canvas, you must associate a Brush with it. Set the Fill property of the Shape to the Brush you want.
For more info about brushes, see Using brushes.
A Shape can also have a Stroke, which is a line that is drawn around the shape's perimeter.
A Stroke also requires a Brush that defines its appearance, and should have a non-zero value for StrokeThickness. StrokeThickness is a property that defines the perimeter's thickness around the shape edge. If you don't specify a Brush value for Stroke, or if you set StrokeThickness to 0, then the border around the shape is not drawn.
An Ellipse строгие родители последствия a shape with a curved perimeter.
To create a basic Ellipse, specify a Width, Height, строгие родители последствия a Brush for the Fill.
The next example creates an Ellipse with a Width of 200 and a Height of 200, and uses a SteelBlue colored SolidColorBrush as its Fill.
Here's the rendered Ellipse.
In this case the Ellipse is what most people would consider a circle, but that's how you declare a circle shape in XAML: use an Ellipse with equal Width and Height.
When an Ellipse is positioned in a UI layout, its size is assumed to be the same as a rectangle with that Width and Height; the area outside the perimeter does not have rendering but still is part of its layout slot size.
A set of 6 Ellipse elements are part of строгие родители последствия control template for the ProgressRing control, and 2 concentric Ellipse elements are part of a RadioButton.
A Rectangle is a four-sided shape with its opposite sides being equal.
To create a basic Rectangle, specify a Width, a Height, строгие родители последствия a Fill.
You can round the corners of a Rectangle. To create rounded corners, specify a value for the RadiusX and RadiusY properties.
These properties specify the x-axis and y-axis of an ellipse строгие родители последствия defines the curve of the corners. The maximum allowed value of RadiusX is the Width divided by two and the maximum allowed value of RadiusY is the Height divided by two.
The next example creates a Rectangle with a Width of 200 and a Height of 100.
It uses a Blue value of SolidColorBrush for its Fill and a Black value of SolidColorBrush for its строгие родители последствия. We set the StrokeThickness to 3. We set the RadiusX property to 50 and the RadiusY property to 10, which gives the Rectangle rounded corners.
Here's the rendered Rectangle.
Tip There are some строгие родители последствия for UI definitions where instead of using a Rectangle, a Border might be more appropriate.
If your intention is to create a rectangle shape around other content, it might be better to use Border because it can have child content and will automatically size around that content, rather than using the fixed dimensions for height and width like Rectangle does. A Border also has the option of having rounded corners if you set the CornerRadius property.
On the other hand, a Rectangle is probably a better choice for control composition.
A Rectangle shape is seen in many control templates because it's used as a "FocusVisual" part for focusable controls. Whenever the control is in a "Focused" visual state, this rectangle is made visible, in other states it's hidden.
A Polygon is a shape with a boundary defined by an arbitrary number of points.
The boundary строгие родители последствия created by connecting a line from one point to the next, with the last point connected to the first point. The Points property defines the collection of points that строгие родители последствия up the boundary.
In Строгие родители последствия, you define the points with a comma-separated list. In code-behind you use a PointCollection to define the points and you add each individual point as строгие родители последствия Point value to the collection.
You don't need to explicitly declare the points such that the start point and end point are both specified as the same Point value.
The rendering logic for a Polygon assumes that you are defining a closed shape and will connect the end point to the start point implicitly.
The next example creates a Polygon with 4 points set to,and. It uses a LightBlue value of SolidColorBrush for its Fill, and has no value for Stroke so it строгие родители последствия no perimeter outline.
Here's the rendered Polygon.
Tip A Point value is often used as a type in XAML for scenarios other than declaring the строгие родители последствия of shapes.
For example, a Point is part of the event data for touch events, so строгие родители последствия can know exactly where in a coordinate space the touch action occurred. For more info about Point and how to use it in XAML or code, see the API reference topic for Point.
A Line is simply a line drawn between two points in coordinate space. A Line ignores any value provided for Fill, because it has no interior строгие родители последствия.
For a Line, make sure to specify values for the Stroke and StrokeThickness properties, because otherwise the Line won't render.
You don't use Point values to specify a Line shape, instead you use discrete Double values for X1, Y1, X2 and Y2.
This enables minimal строгие родители последствия for horizontal or vertical lines. For example, defines a horizontal line that is 400 pixels long. The other X,Y properties are 0 by default, so in terms of points this XAML would draw a line from to.
You could then use a TranslateTransform to move the entire Line, if you wanted it to start at a point other than (0,0).
A Polyline is similar строгие родители последствия a Polygon in that the boundary of the shape is defined by a set of points, except the last point in a Polyline is not connected to the first point.
Note You could explicitly have an identical start point and end point in the Points set for the Polyline, but in that case you probably could have used a Polygon instead.
If you specify a Fill of a Polyline, the Fill paints the interior space of the shape, even if the start point and end point of the Points set for the Polyline do not intersect.
If you do not specify a Fill, then the Polyline is similar to what would have rendered if you had specified several individual Line elements where the строгие родители последствия points and end points of consecutive lines intersected.
As with a Polygon, the Points property defines the collection of points that make up the boundary.
In XAML, you define the points with a строгие родители последствия list. In code-behind, you use a PointCollection to define the points and строгие родители последствия add each individual point as a Point structure to the collection.
This example creates a Polyline with four points set to,and.
A Stroke is defined but not a Fill.
Here's the rendered Polyline. Notice that the first and last points are not connected by the Stroke outline as they are in a Polygon.
A Path is the most versatile Shape because you can use it to define an arbitrary geometry.
But with this versatility comes complexity. Let's now look at how to create a basic Path in XAML.
You define the geometry of a path with the Data property. There are two techniques for setting Data:
Instead, you use design tools that enable you to work in a design or drawing metaphor on a surface. Then you save or export the output, and this gives you a XAML file or XAML string fragment with Path.Data information.
The most common reason for doing this is because you want строгие родители последствия use one строгие родители последствия more of the curves and complex shapes that can be defined as Segments values for a PathFigure, for example BezierSegment.
This example shows a Path that might have resulted from using Blend for Visual Studio to produce just a few vector shapes and then строгие родители последствия the result as XAML.
The total Path consists of a Bezier curve segment and a line segment. The example is mainly intended to give you some examples of what elements exist in the Path.Data serialization format and what the numbers строгие родители последствия Data begins with the move command, indicated by "M", which establishes an absolute start point for the path.
The first segment is a cubic Bezier curve that begins at and ends atwhich is drawn by using the two control points and.
This segment is indicated by the "C" command in the Data attribute string.
The second segment begins with an absolute horizontal line command "H", which specifies a line drawn from the preceding subpath endpoint to a new endpoint.
Because it's a horizontal line command, the value specified is an x-coordinate.
Here's the rendered Path.
The next example shows строгие родители последствия usage of the other technique we discussed: a GeometryGroup with a PathGeometry.
This example exercises some of the contributing geometry types that can be used as part of a PathGeometry: PathFigure and the various elements that can be a segment строгие родители последствия PathFigure.Segments.
Here's the rendered Path.
Using PathGeometry may be more readable than populating a Path.Data string.
On the other hand, Path.Data uses a syntax compatible with Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) image path definitions so it may be useful for porting graphics from SVG, or строгие родители последствия output from a tool like Blend.

A apply for jcpenney credit card is a rotating line of credit that allows you to make charges at any moment approximately the amount of a certain credit limit.
When you swipe your credit card, your small business loan you the cash to make that acquisition. Unlike a finance, which has a set end day and also normal month-to-month repayments, with a credit card, you choose just how much to pay back every month– a minimal repayment, a partial payment or your whole equilibrium. With few exemptions, accountable credit card customers constantly pay their equilibriums in full monthly.
After you purchase with your apply for jcpenney credit card, the financial institution gives you a moratorium– generally in between 20 as well as 30 days– during which you can pay off that acquisition before passion begins to accumulate.
Moratorium are effective since they provide you the opportunity to utilize your apply for jcpenney credit card as a short but interest-free financing. As long as you pay every dime you billed last month prior to the due day, you wont pay interest on credit card purchases.
Sooner or later, nevertheless, many individuals do not pay their credit card balance in full each month, transforming their credit card right into a revolving credit rating line. Financing charges (rate of interest) then collect on the unpaid credit card equilibrium monthly.
Finest situation, a little credit card financial debt costs a couple of hundred bucks in interest prior to you leave. Worst instance, you depend increasingly more on charge card to keep pace with damage caused by using them to begin with. Failure to make payments makes your credit rating drop. You have difficulty obtaining a vehicle loan or an apartment or condo lease. You might also end up in bankruptcy.
Inevitably, it finishes no place good.
For all the above reasons, young people today technique apply for jcpenney credit card with severe caution. As a matter of fact, a current Bankrate research study made the surprising exploration that just about one-third of millennials participate in what is widespread for the majority of people in the over-30 group.
Yet, equating charge card with financial obligation can make you lose out on certain advantages. A credit card can be an essential monetary device that makes life easier and also helps you improve your credit scores ranking– all without costing you a dollar.
Obviously, in some cases the opposite is true. Most of us recognize someone (me) that entered huge difficulty by using bank card the upside-down.
How apply for jcpenney credit card companies make (lots of) loan
The credit card firms earn a bit of money whenever you use your apply for jcpenney credit card because they bill stores one to three percent of your acquisition– called an interchange cost– to accept the card. This is how they can afford to pay back rewards on every $1 you spend– theyre just providing you a rebate of their very own costs.
However the banks make the most significant dollars by billing rate of interest when you carry a balance– to put it simply, you do not settle your purchases completely at the end of the month.
Charge card typically bill interest rates in between 10 and also 30 percent. So, with rate of interest at a 15 percent annual percentage rate (APR), if you charge $500 to your card that you do not pay off for a year, youll end up paying the bank $75 in passion. If you owe $5,000 thats $750 a year in rate of interest. Bill $50,000 as well as youll pay $7,500 a year simply in interest!
The minimal payment catch
The most awful component is that apply for jcpenney credit card firms make it very easy to enter this situation by only requiring you pay a tiny minimal payment monthly, generally in between two and 5 percent of your balance. So until you hit your cards credit line– the most the financial institution will certainly let you borrow– its really easy to charge a large equilibrium thats difficult or difficult for you to settle.
If youre in this scenario, you may have the ability to do a balance transfer in which you move your balances to new credit card that has a 0 percent APR for the very first couple of months. This is a tool credit card business use to get you to change from one card to another– obviously they wish that you will certainly remain to pay them passion after the marketing 0 percent APR runs out.
Whatever you do, if you get stuck with a credit card equilibrium you angle right away settle, you require to make as well as adhere to a prepare for leaving financial obligation like I did.
Track your optional costs of apply for jcpenney credit card
A apply for jcpenney credit card can come to be a capital tool to assist you manage regular monthly investing. With the majority of your expenditures on one card, you can conveniently see your complete invested to day by seeing your account online. You can likewise check your discretionary costs and also see if youre having an excellent month or if you need to slow down on acquisitions.
Commonly you can watch costs categories too, since most credit card companies instantly categorize your spending for you. The classifications help you recognize areas where your cash went, such as food, gas or clothing. This can be helpful for budgeting and preparing your tax obligations if some acquisitions are insurance deductible.
Combined with a Savings Account Buffer, reserve and also good cash flow administration, making use of a credit card can streamline your day-to-day live because you do not need to consume concerning your bank account balance each day. Yes, youll wish to know the optimum you can invest in your credit card every month, but if your checking account is reduced since tomorrow is cash advance as well as you should make a big acquisition today, you can utilize a apply for jcpenney credit card without fretting about overdrawing your account as well as incurring a $40 cost.
This is a risk area, nonetheless. The difference in between bank card aiding or damaging your cash flow is the self-control to establish an investing limitation.

Thanks to booming shale plays, the U.S. is on track to leapfrog Saudi Arabia and Russia to become the world's largest oil producer sooner than expected, according to International Energy Agency estimates.
Continue Reading Below
In its annual World Energy Outlook, the IEA said Tuesday it expects the shift to occur in 2015, compared to its prior target date of 2017.
However, the Paris-based group cautioned that shale formations in North Dakota, Texas and elsewhere will yield less oil by 2020, when non-OPEC production will ease and the Middle East will account for the majority of global oil growth.
The report also noted that other nations are unlikely to replicate the U.S. shale boom.
U.S. production of shale oil, also referred to as tight oil, has been driven by the combination of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. The technique unlocked oil reserves at North Dakota's Bakken, Eagle Ford in Texas and other plays.
By 2040, onshore tight oil production will account for 51% of total onshore production in the lower 48 states, the Energy Information Administration said in its Annual Energy Outlook for 2013. That would reflect an increase from 33% in 2011.
According to another EIA report, domestic crude production totaled 7.896 million barrels a day in the week ended Oct. 18, the highest mark since March 1989.
The IEA, which advises 28 energy-consuming nations, also hiked its forecast for oil prices. It believes the average crude import price for its members will rise to $128 a barrel -- in 2012 terms -- by 2035, up $3 from an estimate in the 2012 report. The nominal price in 2035 is expected to be $216 a barrel.
The increase should encourage development of unconventional resources like the oil sands in Canada and natural gas liquids, in addition to the shale formations that have lifted U.S. production, according to the agency.
Global demand is also expected to grow, likely jumping to 101 million barrels a day in 2035. Last year's outlook projected 99.7 million barrels a day.
In midday trading Tuesday, Nymex WTI crude was down nearly 1% at $94.30 a barrel. Brent crude, the international benchmark, ticked two cents lower to $106.38.

Golden State Warriors guard Monta Ellis, who missed the first half of the season because of injuries suffered in a mo-ped accident, finds the end of his season truncated, as well.
An MRI exam showed Ellis has a bone bruise and inflammation on his left ankle, and on Friday he was officially ruled out for the remainder of the season. He has been told to stay off the foot for the next two weeks.
Golden State officials emphasized that the injury, while on the same foot that had to be surgically repaired following his mo-ped crash in August, is on the opposite side of the ankle.
The crash resulted in a severely sprained ligament and a torn deltoid ligament, but Ellis had been showing a return to form -- the kind the Warriors were expecting to have for a full season when they signed him to a six-year, $66 million contract extension just before the accident.
Ellis averaged 19 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 25 games.
"He's gotten himself back to where he's got to be the same player that we had before, and that's the most important thing," coach Don Nelson said Friday. "As far as the other decisions go, I know more today than I did before. And I'll keep it to myself, thank you very much."
According to area reports, guard Jamal Crawford, who is being held out until at least Monday because of lower back pain, likely is done playing for the Warriors. Nelson has been displeased with a starting backcourt of Ellis and Crawford, calling the pairing "oil and water," according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
Nelson intends to have Ellis as his point guard next season, with Stephen Jackson as the shooting guard.

T2-135 - model Tracker2 to Alinco DR-135.
The T2-135 version is an add-on board designed to fit the Alinco DR-135T (as well as the -235 and -435) in place of the original EJ-41U TNC. Like the regular Tracker2, it acts as a bidirectional tracker (transmitting positions and plotting received stations as waypoints), digipeater, and limited KISS TNC. However, it lacks the on-board temperature and voltage sensors of the standard board.

Closing that Equality Gap in Sri Lanka
|Conflict affected young girl in a resettled village supported by the NEIAP project, Vavuniya, Sri Lanka
So Australia is huffed that they have fallen behind South Africa and Sri Lanka, not in cricket ICC rankings but in the annual Global Gender Gap Index released a month or so ago. How ignominious to fall behind their cricketing rival, Sri Lanka, who in terms of development is a minion—far behind Australia.
The Australian Council of Trade Unions wailed "Australian employers must do more to encourage women's participation in the workforce and close the gender pay gap."
The Global Gender Gap report hardly made any waves here. This year, Sri Lanka has slipped 4 places to 16th place. However, the report says Lanka's overall performance in 2008 has improved relative to 2007. "Sri Lanka continues to hold a privileged position of having the best performance in the region regarding political empowerment," said the report. Sri Lanka was ahead of Spain (17), France (18), Australia (20) and U.S.A. (31).
So are we Sri Lankan women more prosperous and hold more equal position at the workplace than the Sheila's in Oz?

The legend of Chris Johnson lives on ... just barely.
Johnson -- who holds the NFL Scouting Combine record for the 40-yard dash -- got a legitimate scare in the form of Kent State running back Dri Archer, who ran his 40 in 4.26 seconds Sunday. That's two-hundredths of a second shy of the Tennessee Titans running back's time of 4.24 in 2007.
Johnson let out a big exhale on social media after Archer's time was official.
Can't lie archer had the boi nervousâ
Chris Johnson (@ChrisJohnson28)
February 23, 2014
NFL Network displayed the tweet during Sunday's live combine coverage, prompting this exchange between Rich Eisen and Mike Mayock over Johnson's preferred spelling of "boi."Mayock: Is that a typo?
Eisen: (In classic Eisen cadence) No, no, no. That is as he typed it.
Good times.

Following strong pharmacy and retail growth in the third quarter as patients visited doctors more frequently and filled cheaper generic prescriptions, CVS Caremark (NYSE:CVS) topped expectations on Tuesday and raised its full-year outlook.
Continue Reading Below
The pharmacy-chain operator posted net income last quarter of $1.01 billion, or 80 cents a share, compared with a year-earlier profit of $868 million, or 65 cents.
Excluding one-time items, CVS Caremark earned 85 cents, topping average analyst estimates in a Thomson Reuters poll by a penny.
Revenue for the three-month period ended Sept. 30 climbed 13.3% to a record $30.2 billion, topping the Street's view of $30.09 billion, with pharmacy services up 22.% and retail pharmacy climbing 5.5%.
"We posted strong results across the enterprise, with the Pharmacy Services Segment significantly outpacing our growth expectations," CVS chief executive Larry Merlo said in a statement.
The company raised its fiscal 2012 non-GAAP guidance to a range of $3.38 to $3.41 from its earlier view of $3.32 to $3.38, topping the consensus' $3.37.
CVS benefited from an impasse between larger rival Walgreen (NYSE:WAG) and pharmacy benefit manager Express Scripts (NASDA:ESRX). While the impasse ended this summer as the two reached a deal, CVS is looking to hold on to as many prescriptions as possible.
Merlo in an interview with Reuters said he expects to retain at least 60% of the prescriptions it gained through the fourth quarter, up from an earlier goal of just 50%.

It looks like the only outside GNOME for Slackware that's
actively maintained is this one:
Since it replaces some system components, using it voids your
warranty. But it should work, *if* you absolutely must have
GNOME. I'd suggest XFce instead if you want a GTK+ based desktop.
If you do want to use Dropline, they may be updating a few things
after 12.0 releases, so it might be best not to rush into it.
Need more build scripts? Something that you wanted wasn't
included in Slackware? Well, then check out slackbuilds.org.
Several of the team members work on the scripts there.
Che non conosca GSlacky lo capisco! Ma almeno una citazione per Slacky!

We all need our little luxuries every now and then. I don't mean great big luxuries like private yachts or a hotel chain named after you. Little ones like a sublime square of top quality chocolate or a dress that makes you feel like Audrey Hepburn. You know…the small stuff.
In the realm of gastro-luxuries I have me favorites – foie gras, fancy French restaurants, really good chocolate, spare-no-expense sushi dinners…and Brussels sprouts.
If you have been reading this blog for a while now, you would know that I absolutely adore this much-maligned vegetable. But a luxury? Brussels sprouts?
Consider this: Over here, a small Styrofoam pack of about 300-400 grams of Brussels sprouts would cost me as much as one round of veggie shopping at the grocery. Want a clearer picture?
One 300-400 gram pack of Brussels Sprouts = 1 big head of cabbage (1.2 kilo) + 174 grams young corn + 174 grams snow peas + 1 bunch cilantro + 500 grams cauliflower + 500 grams calamansi (calamondin, our local lemon-lime) + 600 grams white onions + 3 bunches lemongrass + 3 packs black peppercorns
Another way of looking at it:
Brussels Sprouts in one meal = Vegetables for 3 meals + random aromatics for other dishes
Sigh…but perhaps it is the infrequent consumption that comes with its high price-tag that makes this little veggie so luxurious to me. After all, if you can have something everyday, doesn't it stop being a luxury?
So when I do splurge on Brussels sprouts, I like to treat them well. This lucky bunch got bathed in a splash of sweet dessert wine.
Sautéed Brussels Sprouts with Sweet Wine
- Olive oil
- 400 grams Brussels sprouts, outer leaves removed and cut into halves or quarters (depending on size)
- 30-50 grams bacon, cut into small strips
- 2 tablespoons Botrytis Semillon (or any dessert wine of your choosing)
- Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
– Heat some olive oil in a pan.
– Add bacon when oil is hot and sauté until done but not too crisp.
– Add sprouts and sauté until it starts to soften and get brown around the edges.
– Cover pan for about 5 minutes or until sprouts are soft.
– Uncover pan and add wine, deglazing and scraping at any brown bits on the pan.
– Add salt and pepper to taste.
– Serves two.
Botrytis is actually a disease that strikes the Semillon grapes. One type rots the grapes and damages the harvest. The other however, referred to as the "noble rot", acts on the sugars and concentrates them…producing enticingly sweet and full-flavored dessert wines. We had some left over from a dinner party that I was planning to poach some fruits in, when I came upon the sprouts and the wheels in my head started turning. My beloved Brussels sprouts + chic dessert wine + smoky bacon = sweetly glazed luxurious sprouts and bacon deliciousness!
It's good to spoil yourself once in a while…you deserve it! 🙂
