I like this book because it was very interesting when Kendra lost her recipe. She couldn't figure out how it turned up at the birthday party. I didn't know either. It was exciting to find out.
This book belongs to the Nancy Drew series. It is similar to the other books because all of the books have a certain mystery to them. I like reading books which have kids my age solving mysteries.
I had mixed feelings about this book. First I was happy because Jim and Barry were having a contest. Then I felt sad because Kendra lost her secret recipe. Then I felt happy again because they found out who stole the recipe.
I like the characters Kendra, Bess, Nancy, and George. They have a fun time figuring out mysteries. They can always figure them out before the time runs out. They remind me of the Boxcar Children. They solve mysteries also.
I would recommend this book to 3rd and 4th graders because it is an easy book to read. This book has a mystery to it and the contest is fun to read about.

For some time now the attributes feature has been available to cache owners after they create a cache listing on geocaching.com. Owners can use it to let other geocachers know if, among other things, the cache can be hunted at night, whether or not dogs are allowed in the area, whether special equipment is required to find the cache, and so on. One of the most important attributes is whether the cache is wheelchair accessible. Many of my fellow reviewers have long posted reviewer notes to cache owners whenever the owner submits a new cache but has not selected any attributes. Well, I think that's a good idea so I've started to do so too. When you submit a new cache without attributes, here's the note you may see from me to encourage you to use the "edit attributes" feature:
Please go to the edit page for your cache (and any other caches of yours that don't have attributes) and use the "edit attributes" feature to add them -- especially the one that indicates whether this geocache is wheelchair accessible. Thanks.

There's one phrase that several Nob Hill residents and artists have used to sum up Babylon Falling's final show, and that's "bitter-sweet". The independent bookstore will close its doors for good at the end of June. "The End is Near", indeed.
Honestly, it's been a real pleasure dropping by every now and then to shoot the shows at Babylon Falling. In previous reports, I noted how impressed I was by the receptions, the studio visit videos, and the sheer awesomeness of my two favorite things mingling in the same space: books and art (..for a nerd like myself, it's difficult to behave oneself in such a space).
For this report, I also had a difficult time whittling the photo selection down to my usual 20-25 pics. So I eventually gave up and let it be. Thus, this is a robust report with 40 images. Perhaps not all are my best, but none-the-less, I felt they were all appropriate for this final salute to Babylon Falling.
"The End is Near" boasts one hell of an artist lineup that can't be missed. It includes C3 (pictured above), David Choong Lee, Christopher Burch, Buz Blurr, David Young V, David Ball, Shaun Roberts (Babylon Falling's in-house photographer), and more.
As a party-favor, Shaun Roberts put together a free give-away dvd (with menus!), complete with every studio visit video, and photograph, shot at the past two years' art receptions.

does eating too much sweets cause diabetes?
Human Anatomy, Physiology, and Medicine. Anything human!

linalcal wrote:I think you may be correct. When blood glucose level rises, especially after a meal of sweets, the pancreas secretes the hormone insulin into the blood (Insulin enhances the transport of glucose to body cells and stimulates the liver and muscle cells to store glucose as glycogen). Therefore, the pancreas probably would become overworked and end up using all of its insulin in order to transport all that glucose to cells in the body and stimulate the liver and muscle cells to store it as glycogen.
However, eating too many carbohydrates is not a bad thing. It's eating the simple carbohydrates that's bad. Complex carbs are fine. Therefore, I believe that it's eating too many simple carbs, such as sweets and junk food, that causes diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes is not related to overworking of the pancreas or actually any dysfunction in the pancreas at all. It is due to increased insulin resistance of inslulin's target tissues. Thus, glucose cannot get into the cells and insulin levels remain high when the body tries to export the glucose into the cells. In other words, in type 2 diabetes there is little wrong with the insulin production and the problems are located in target tissues. In this regard it is the opposite of type 1 diabetes, where the islet cells in pancreas get damaged, but the target tissues are normal.
You cannot get type 2 diabetes just by eating sugar or other fast carbs. It is a complex disease that includes genetic factors and dietary factors. Obesity is one of the main causes - if you are obese, no matter because of excess sugar, protein or fat intake, the chances for type 2 diabetes to develop are increased. Risk genes combined with metabolic syndrome is a great way to get type 2 diabetes.
Re: does eating too much sweets cause diabetes?
Eating sweets causes Type 2 diabetes indirectly. If you eat a lot of sweets and don't exercise regularly or eat healthy most of the time then you're at risk for obesity. If you're at risk for obesity then you could be pre-diabetic. If you do not severely limit your intake of sweets then you could be diagnosed with Type 2. So, does eating a large amount of sweets cause diabetes? Maybe.
Diabetes education needs to play a larger role in health class because children are suffering from a lack of knowledge. Fight childhood obesity. http://educatingmyselfaboutdiabetes.blogspot.com/
I should perhaps specify my previous answer. Some studies suggest that there might be some problem with beta cells also in type II diabetes, namely their in their ability to sense blood glucose levels. This might also contribute to the disease pathology. However, type II diabetes is still not related directly to the body's ability to produce insulin (as is the case with T1D), but rather a problem of proper utilization of the insulin and/or glucose by various tissues.
You can't prevent type 2 diabetes by not eating sweets. I think some people associate too much sugar with getting type 2 diabetes. Now if you have type 2 diabetes, then you definitely have to watch and limit your sugar intake but you also have to watch your carbs and the rest of your diet. But eating too much sugar or carbs can result in weight gain and obesity which raises one's risk of type 2 diabetes.

(which is an informal 'cheers' in German) to which my Romanian hosts' and friends' chins nearly dropped to the floor. "Kent; how can he say such a rude thing to us?", one of them asked in a hurt voice. What poor German Peter didn't realize is this: 'prost' means 'stupid' in Romanian. After I told him this, we all had a good laugh and settled on using 'cheers' for the remainder of the evening. TeeHee, keNtLast edited by Kent F.

Linden era opens with same result as Canucks fall 4-2 to Avs

Photograph by: DARRYL DYCK, THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — The Trevor Linden era began Thursday night the same way the Mike Gillis era ended: with a loss.
It's going to take more than a new team president to right the Vancouver Canucks, who did some good things but were done in by key mistakes in a 4-2 loss to the playoff-bound Colorado Avalanche at Rogers Arena.
Once again, the third period was not their friend. The Canucks were outscored 3-1 in the final 20 minutes by the speedy Avalanche.
"I think focus, lack of focus, maybe a lack of pride defensively," centre Ryan Kesler said when asked about Vancouver's third-period struggles this season. "We usually get criticized for sitting back with a lead and not pushing. I thought we pushed a little too much offensively and gave up a couple of odd-man rushes there late which hurt us."
The loss, Vancouver's fourth in its last five games, dropped the Canucks into 12th spot in the Western Conference. Only Edmonton and Calgary trail the Canucks and the Flames could in fact pass Vancouver before this season mercifully comes to an end on Sunday night.
In the big picture, that's probably not such a bad thing as the farther they fall the higher the Canucks will pick in this summer's entry draft.
Linden, who was appointed president of hockey operations on Wednesday, was shown on the scoreboard in the executive box just before the opening faceoff and received a warm response from fans before sitting between assistant general managers Laurence Gilman and Lorne Henning.
But once again, the Canucks' fans didn't have to cheer about during the game.
Tyson Barrie, a 22-year-old Victoria native, scored the game-winner on a 2-on-1 rush at the 12:30 mark of the third period. Barrie beat Vancouver goalie Jacob Markstrom stick side after Canuck defenceman Alex Edler seemed to stumble on the play. Markstrom was making his first start as a Canuck after being acquired more than a month ago in the trade that sent Roberto Luongo to the Florida Panthers.
"It was a 2-on-1 and he (Barrie) made a good move there and pulled it across and he just shot it quick and it went through," Markstrom said.

"Not good enough," added the Swedish netminder, who faced 28 Colorado shots. "It felt good to be out there but obviously you want to start up with a win."
The Canucks outshot the Avs 40-28, but again didn't show much finish.
"That's great to get 40 shots but as a group we are too lax defensively," Kesler said. "Playing defence most of the time is a thankless job and it's hard work. So it's great we got 40 shots, but on the other side, we hung Markie out to dry. He played good for us tonight. A couple of those we just hung him out to dry and he had no chance."
"We played well," said coach John Tortorella "We played hard. It takes us a lot of scoring chances to score a goal. That has been a recurring theme throughout the year. But I have no beef with our team as far as how hard we play. We need a lot of chances to score goals."
Paul Stastny had given the Avs a 2-1 lead with his second of the night at 5:21 of the third period when he put a rebound off an Erik Johnson shot past Markstrom.
But less than two minutes later, David Booth tied the game, beating Colorado goalie Semyon Varlamov high to the short side after Dan Hamhuis's point shot had bounced off the end boards.
The Canucks opened scoring at 13:52 of the first on the type of goal they haven't had nearly enough of this season. Henrik Sedin battled for position with Johnson in front of the net and tipped a Hamhuis shot from the left point past Varlamov. The goal was Henrik's 11th of the season.
But a costly giveaway by rookie winger Nicklas Jensen helped the Avs tie things up before the period was over. Stastny stole the puck from Jensen at the Colorado blue line and then beat Markstrom five-hole on the subsequent breakaway.
The highlight of a scoreless second period came from the guy who won the Tim Horton's donut contest and yelled "Torts, you're a beauty. I love you man."
The Canucks finished the game without winger Chris Higgins, who left the game after two periods with an illness. Defenceman Kevin Bieksa confirmed after the game he will play for Canada at next month's world championships in Belarus.
"Rob Blake asked me and I said absolutely," Bieksa said. "I haven't had many opportunities to play for my country and I don't plan on missing the playoffs too many more years so I thought I'd take this chance. It's an honour."
ICE CHIPS: John Mitchell scored an empty-net goal for the Avs at 19:17 of the third. . .The Canucks cancelled Friday's practice and will head to Edmonton, where they meet the Oilers on Saturday night. They return home to close out the season Sunday night against the Calgary Flames. That game is a 6 p.m. start. . .Veteran defenceman Jason Garrison was scratched Thursday night to make room for rookie Frank Corrado.
The Canucks struck first at 13:52 mark of the opening period as Henrik Sedin deflected home a Dan Hamhuis point shot.
They gave that one back at 18:39 when rookie Nick Jensen was stripped of the puck by Paul Stastny, who beat Jacob Markstrom five-hole on the breakaway.
After a scoreless second period, Stastny made it 2-1 at 5:21 of the third with David Booth responding 1:39 later. Tyson Barrie then put it away at 12:30 as he sifted past Alex Edler during a 4-on-4 before beating Markstrom. John Mitchell added a power-play empty-netter.
Henrik Sedin's goal was his first in nine games but just his second in 33. Daniel has no goals in six games and one in his last 30 ... Alex Edler was minus-2 and now sits at minus-36 on the season. Only Steve Ott, at minus-38, has a worse mark ... The Avs tied a franchise record with their 52nd victory while goalie Semyon Varlamov won his 41st game, breaking Patrick Roy's franchise record ... The Canucks fell to 11-4-8 when tied after 40 minutes and completed their record against Central Division teams at 10-8-3 record.
After 19 straight starts, Canuck rookie Eddie Lack was given the night off Thursday. Was he worn out? ³Now that we didn't make the playoffs, it all kind of hit me like a couple of days ago,² said the Swede. "I felt like I almost crashed. It was like everything was over." With the coaching staff planning to deploy Jacob Markstrom the rest of the way, Lack should finish the season at 16-17-5 with a 2.41 GAA and .912 save rate.
The Utica Comets kept their slim American League hopes alive Thursday with a 3-2 overtime victory over the Lake Erie Monsters, Colorado's farm team. Pascal Pelletier scored the OT winner with Jeremy Welsh and Brandon DeFazio netting the others. Joacim Eriksson made 19 saves for the win.
The Comets, 11th in the AHL's Western Conference, sit four points out of a playoff spot with five games remaining. They will likely have to run the table, as well as get some major help, in order to sneak in.

February 1, 2003
TAMPA -- Federal prosecutors have long known the government would be ordered to pay legal fees accumulated by Steve and Marlene Aisenberg, the couple once charged with lying about the disappearance of their infant daughter.
The only question was how much.
On Friday, U.S. District Judge Steven Merryday delivered his answer: $2.89-million.
The award is the largest in the five-year history of the Hyde Amendment, a federal law that protects defendants against prosecutorial abuses. It is short of the $7-million the Aisenbergs' lawyers sought but well above the $250,000 the government once suggested.
Merryday also ordered the release this month of all grand jury transcripts. He said the unusual move is warranted because the public has a right to know how the case went so awry.
In the 94-page order, the judge painted a grim picture of an investigation that lacked credible evidence. He referred to parts of the indictment as "trivial," "gratuitous" and "misleading."
Prosecutors asserted for months they had incriminating taped statements of the Aisenbergs when "no such 'taped statements' exist," the judge wrote.
"This is a devastating opinion for the government," said Tampa lawyer John Fitzgibbons, a former federal prosecutor who has followed the case. "He is saying it was a lousy prosecution from day one."
The award is not like one in a civil lawsuit that can be spent on anything. It must be used to pay for the Aisenbergs' legal bills.
Steve Cole, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Tampa, said officials were reviewing the judge's order. He would not say whether they intend to appeal.
Barry Cohen and Todd Foster, the Aisenbergs' lead attorneys, were unusually quiet after reading the order. Cohen said he would comment next week.
The saga began on Nov. 24, 1997, when the Aisenbergs reported 5-month-old Sabrina missing from their Valrico home. A massive search ensued, but she was never found.
Hillsborough sheriff's investigators quickly suspected the couple and received a judge's permission to plant listening devices in the Aisenbergs' kitchen and bedroom. Nearly two years later, a grand jury indicted the Aisenbergs on charges of conspiracy and making false statements.
Prosecutors said the tapes contained dozens of incriminating statements, including Marlene telling Steve, "I hate you, I hate what you did to our tiny daughter." They said Steve could be heard saying, "I wish I hadn't harmed her. It was the cocaine."
The Aisenbergs' attorneys argued from the start that no such statements were made. They said many of the tapes were unintelligible and some statements were taken radically out of context. They also requested that the tapes be publicly released.
Prosecutors fought to keep the tapes secret until trial, something Merryday described Friday as a "strange resistance."
Merryday stated he tried to signal in an order filed in November 2000 that the evidence in the case was seriously in doubt. He wrote in that order that he found the tapes "largely inaudible." Despite the red flag, federal prosecutors pursued the case and insisted the tapes contained incriminating statements, he wrote.
A few months later, Magistrate Judge Mark Pizzo wrote a scathing report, describing parts of the investigation as bizarre, baseless, distorted and careless.
Pizzo said the limited number of tapes he listened to did not contain incriminating comments and recommended all tapes from the bugging be suppressed. The news gutted the prosecutors' case. They moved to drop all charges in February 2001.
On Friday, Merryday agreed with Pizzo and said he couldn't hear incriminating statements. He called the disparity between the government transcripts and what he could hear "shocking."
Merryday concluded prosecutors indicted the Aisenbergs solely on the hope the pressure would force one of the Aisenbergs to incriminate the other. Merryday called such a strategy "vexatious."
A month after the charges were dismissed, the Aisenbergs' attorneys filed a motion citing the Hyde Amendment, a law that allows federal criminal defendants to collect attorneys' fees from the government if the case was frivolous, vexatious or brought in bad faith.
In a surprise move, federal prosecutors conceded the Hyde Amendment applied to the Aisenberg case, the first such concession since the law went into effect in 1997. The two sides, however, remained miles apart on the price tag.
At a hearing in October, the Aisenbergs' attorneys argued their $2.34-million bill for working about 11,000 hours should be tripled to about $7-million because of the exceptional nature of the case and the egregiousness of the conduct.
For the most part, government attorneys did not contest the number of hours the defense lawyers said they worked. Nor did they say the firm's hourly rates were out of line with industry standards.
They argued the law was designed to reimburse defendants, not lawyers. The government should not have to pay any more than the $250,000 the Aisenbergs had paid toward their legal fees, they said. Or the government could pay the couple a capped rate of $125 an hour, they said.
Merryday wrote in his order the Aisenbergs' lawyers were entitled to "reasonable attorneys fees," not a capped amount. He cut about 300 of the hours but let the rest stand, stating they were not excessive for a case of this nature. He said the case did not warrant a tripling of the fees, but the many delays warranted him multiplying the fee by 1.15.
As for the grand jury transcripts, Merryday said the government should not shield the history of such a case behind the cloak of grand jury secrecy.
"The public has an interest in inspecting these troubled prosecutions to determine the source of the United States' misdirection," he wrote.
Complete transcripts of grand jury testimony almost never become public. Prosecutors present evidence to grand jurors, who decide whether an indictment is warranted.
Releasing the transcripts could give the Aisenbergs' attorneys a distinct advantage in the civil lawsuit they have indicated is forthcoming. They will be able to scrutinize everything the prosecutors told the grand jurors about the tapes and what could be heard on the tapes.
"Prosecutors are not supposed to misrepresent or overstate the evidence," former federal prosecutor Steve Crawford said.
If the grand jury transcripts are released, Fitzgibbons predicted several law enforcement officials would assert their Fifth Amendment rights against incriminating themselves if they are called to give sworn statements in the civil case.
"These transcripts could have catastrophic consequences for some law enforcement individuals," said Fitzgibbons, who added that he thought the appeals court would agree with Merryday's logic.
The two lead prosecutors in the case, Stephen Kunz and Rachelle DesVaux Bedke, still work for the Department of Justice. After the case imploded, the department's Office of Professional Responsibility opened an investigation into their conduct. Cole, the U.S. Attorney's Office spokesman, said they have not received word on the outcome.
The Hillsborough Sheriff's Office's two lead detectives, Linda Burton and William Blake, and Maj. Gary Terry, who oversaw the investigation, received written reprimands last year. None was demoted or docked pay.
One sheriff's detective is still assigned to the case full-time, and the Aisenbergs have not been ruled out as suspects, said Lt. Rod Reder, sheriff's spokesman.
Crawford, the former federal prosecutor, said Merryday's ruling rekindles questions about why the prosecutors and detectives haven't been fired.
"Someone needs to ask, hey, Justice Department, what's going on?" he said. "Hey, sheriff of Hillsborough County, why are they still working?"

easyJet adds extra flights on Belfast routes
easyJet, Northern Ireland's largest airline, is to introduce extra flights from Belfast International Airport on routes including Edinburgh, London and Manchester.
Expansion of its Edinburgh service means that Monday flights will increase from 3 to 4; and those on Tuesday and Wednesday from 2 to 3.
There will be 3 flights to Manchester on Monday, Thursday and Friday – up from the current 2 daily flights.
And on easyJet's 4 London destinations (Gatwick, Luton, Southend and Stansted) there will be extra flights on weekday mornings and evenings, particularly aimed at business travellers.
All the changes will be effective from the start of easyJet's winter schedule on 28 October.
Earlier, on 22 October, the airline will launch its first service from Belfast International Airport to Birmingham.
Flights for all routes are now on sale at www.easyJet.com with fares from £24.99, one way including taxes.
Ali Gayward, easyJet's commercial manager, said:
"Our aim has always been to make travel easy and affordable, and we remain committed to Northern Ireland. We are adding these extra flights in response to increasing customer demand for easyJet services.
"Edinburgh and Manchester are important centres for the business community and also for leisure travellers, including people going there for our popular city breaks.
"We operate up to 13 flights daily from Belfast to London, significantly more than any other airline, but demand is such that the extra morning and evening flights are essential."
easyJet's recently-launched fourth route to London – London Southend – has already proved extremely popular, with a direct train link taking passengers to Liverpool Street station and the City of London in under 55 minutes.
Also, easyJet is now the only airline on the Belfast - Bristol route and has increased capacity through using larger aircraft."
Uel Hoey, business development director at Belfast International Airport, said:
"We very much appreciate easyJet's long-established commitment to developing its service and providing stability for millions of Northern Ireland air travellers over the years.
"We are delighted that the airline is again demonstrating a willingness to explore new horizons in support of Northern Ireland's economic growth."
Ali Gayward added: "There has been a warm welcome for our new Flexi fares, which give passengers unlimited flexibility to change the date of their flights up to two hours before the scheduled departure time. We are also trialing allocated seating.
"All round, we are grateful to the Northern Ireland public for their support and we will continue to strive to provide them with the best possible service."

I remember hearing about someone doing that experiment by having someone on a scale and noting their weight just before and after the moment of death. But that was a long time ago, before they had scales quite as precise as ours, and before they were actually able to determine brain death. And, as I recall, there was no difference.
The concept of a soul is a handy shorthand for whatever it is that comprises our self-awareness and our feelings -- as you say, our inner self. No one has traced it to a specific area in the brain so far as I know, and it might be global in our brains, but I have no doubt that it is rooted in something physical in our bodies. If viewed that way, at least the higher mammals also have this capacity -- do doggies go to heaven, dad? (from Robert Burns, I think) Chimpanzees and dolphins definitely recognize themselves in mirrors (there's an experiment that showed that, too, and I'll describe it in another post if you want me to) and no one who has observed great apes denies that they have feelings, and social interactions, and mourn for their dead, etc.
So, if we want to define soul as our inner self, our self-awareness and our feelings, of course we have them, but there is no evidence that they are anything other than a result of mammalian evolution, nor that they will survive death.
This is misinformation based on faulty, inconsistant measurements conducted by an MD around 1900, and the concept of a "soul" having weight was discredited.
Just as the belief in a god, the belief in a soul is irrational. We are who we are because of the way our brain works, which is greatly influenced by our health and our experiences, perceived with our five senses.
It's such a non-intuitive concept, monism. We "feel" like we have souls, or spirits, and minds of our own, etc. But when I really thought about it (many years ago), I just had to conclude that there's just no such thing as a soul. Most people just can't grasp that, because of what they feel. Of course, most people call me a nihilist because of this. But I can't help it if I'm right! Lol.
Oh dear, I am going into your realm without much sophistication. Talk to me about soul and monism, please. I do not believe the soul goes into heaven or wherever. To me, seeing life as a manifestation of elements with a "being", upon death, all organic matter returns to the stuff of stars. For me, the death of my beloved, being matter, returned to star stuff ... elements and being. I look at the stars and remember. That is all. Nothing magic in that, or ghost, or not to be contacted such as that TV personality claims. My beloved is gone, life ended, no afterlife, no reunion at any time or any place. Oh dear, I've left you with a big dump! Sorry!
I have no doubt souls exist in humans and even other animals. Have you ever looked into the eyes of a dying person or dog or cat? I have; There is something there beyond just rods and cones of the eye working ... there is a being one moment and then a no being. It is kind of like a light bulb that has a shine, flipping the toggle switch cuts the electrical current and there is no shine. I think that is what happens to humans and animals; the electrical currents work ... until they stop working. The body without electrical current has no power, no energy, no life. At the moment of death the heart, lungs, brain, all the organs lose the source of energy for life and death processes begin. The moment of death is a mysterious phenomenon, life is on then off. However, it is understandable, explainable, believable.
Saying that a souls exists because there's "something" you can't comprehend is the equivalent of saying: "We don't know how the universe originated, therefore God exists." I don't see death as a mystery. We didn't experience anything before our life.. we won't experience anything after our life.
Dean, have you ever been present at a death? Sure, if I don't see the person die and see them at a funeral, it is different than watching the death process. I agree we don't experience anything before or after death, and I certainly do not think the soul goes anyplace else. The spark of life goes out and that is all that happens.
I will soon be starting seeds inside for my next summer's garden and I am always in awe as I observe the seeds break open and send out roots and cotyledons. A hard and dry seed opens and life emerges. WOW!
I've seen animals die. There's a funny feeling we all get when we watch something dies, especially when it's a mammal. It's just being compassionate.
There's no reason to believe that when an animal is born a soul exists, ex nihilo, then disappears when the body dies.
Yes, compassion fits for me too, and I wonder ... like full-of-wonder, not wonderful.
I think I may be meaning something different than "soul", probably more like "life", whatever that means.
I hear "spirit transcending to heaven" when i think soul. That's what I'm referring to. A separate entity to the living body it inhabits.

Credit System Needs To Be Cleaned Up To Prevent Identity Theft
from the not-a-good-system dept
Monday's big bust of the identity theft gang that stole thousands of people's identity and millions of their dollars has brought up a lot of issues. Despite the thousands of reports telling people what to do to avoid having their identity stolen, this scam wouldn't have been stopped by any of those methods, suggesting there are bigger problems. In fact, plenty of people are suggesting that the problem is only likely to get much worse, which is leading some to come up with some suggestions on how to prevent this type of identity theft in the future. It seems that the real problem is how the various credit bureaus are set up - and how they make it easy for companies to get your credit report, but difficult for you to view your own credit report, or to alert you when changes have been made to it. If the credit bureaus were forced to send you an email alert telling you when changes had been made, or to let you log in to your account (like any online bank system), a lot of this would have been prevented - as people would have caught the thefts much more quickly.

Premier League: Swansea 1 Crystal Palace 1
Glenn Murray scored a dramatic late equaliser as Crystal Palace snatched a 1-1 draw at Swansea City on Sunday.
Swansea were totally dominant in the first half, and deservedly took the lead through Jonathan de Guzman in the 25th minute.
Palace's Tom Ince - a January transfer target for the hosts - had questioned Swansea's ability to deal with the Londoners' attacking threat in the build-up to the match, but it was his half-time replacement Murray who sparked an upturn in the visitors' performance.
And the former Brighton and Hove Albion striker netted the leveller from the spot in the 83rd minute after being brought down by Chico Flores, who was subsequently given his marching orders.
Flores' initial contact with Murray appeared to occur outside the box, but referee Mike Dean pointed to the spot and the forward picked himself up to place the penalty into the top-right corner.
The result lifts Palace three points clear of the relegation zone, while Swansea slipped a place to 15th.
Swansea returned to a more familiar starting XI than the one that featured in their UEFA Europa League exit in Napoli on Thursday, and dominated possession in the opening stages as Palace struggled to get out of their own half.
Despite having almost exclusive possession of the ball, Garry Monk's side were not creating any meaningful goalscoring opportunities, with two De Guzman free-kicks both floating harmlessly out for goal kicks.
And it was Palace who eventually had the first attempt on target in the 20th minute, as Marouane Chamakh nodded a limp header into the arms of a grateful Michel Vorm.
Pablo Hernandez drilled wide of the right-hand post at the other end shortly after, but was subsequently replaced by Jose Canas after being forced off with an injury.
A wonderful passing move then led to the opener in the 25th minute. Ashley Williams - holding a high defensive line as Palace sat deep - played the ball forward to Wilfried Bony, whose flick into the path of Nathan Dyer allowed the winger to tee up De Guzman to slot beyond Palace goalkeeper Julian Speroni.
Palace's limited attacking threat was dealt a blow five minutes later when Chamakh's game was ended by an apparent hamstring injury, and Speroni had to be on high alert 10 minutes before the break to deny Bony from close range.
The visitors looked livelier after Murray's introduction for the second half, conceding nowhere near the amount of possession they had in the opening 45 minutes, but still struggled to really test Vorm in the Swansea goal.
But the game turned on its head 10 minutes from time, as Flores brought down Murray after Vorm had recklessly rushed off his line.
The players came together just outside the area, but Dean awarded the penalty and Murray duly hammered home his first Premier League goal.

Shame the BuySafe app is only restricted to US. There should be similar ones for UK.
September 23 2012, 05:59AM
I agree, there should be a buysafe equivilant for uk stores.
September 24 2012, 12:36AM
I am sick and tired of apps advertising the word "free" then finding out the trial is free and the price is unaffordable.
September 24 2012, 09:33AM
Thanks for the comments guys!
David Lambert: Which apps are listed as "free" that aren't actually "free"? It's important to note that all these apps have "free trials" which lets you try their service, after which, you have to cancel (without paying) or start paying for the service.
September 28 2012, 08:50PM
Totally agree with David, there is a huge difference between a free app (one for which you pay nothing to use, or at least pay nothing for limited functionality) and a free trial which leads to a subscription. It's tiring to read about a new app, think you might want to install it and then see you have to pay in 30 days time if you don't cancel.
Don't get me wrong there are many great free or cheap apps such as Abandon, Happy Ending, SumAll and ShopiMap that enhance the Shopify experience. However some just seem to be a waste of money for stuff you could easily do yourself very quickly.
Look for apps that are free or very cheap that add to Shopify features, most small stores don't need to be paying $240-$360 a year for apps. Of the apps here I'd consider Coolence and Lexity if I didn't already have other apps doing this.
After reading the new apps announcement on my dashboard I was quite excited but, apart from maybe SpinStudio, seeing what's on offer now seems disappointing.
What I'd really like to see is an app that lets you set shipping by product and country.
October 24 2012, 05:35PM
Are there any Shopify apps that will sell my products on a commission basis?

is there any latency (delay) with the recording?
- Asked by fn from Burke
Apogee JAM Guitar Input
Product No Longer Available
7 Answers from the Community
Best Answer:
I'm using it with an iPad (1) and there is a noticeable latency... Don't know if this is inherent in the hardware or if it would be better on and iPad 2.
- Answered by Nick D from Stirling
I'm using the Jam with an iPhone 4S and GarageBand. I don't get any lag whatsoever and everything is immediate. I'm guessing this is 1st gen iPad issue. I would highly recommend the Jam, personally. For what it is, it sounds fantastic. It's in a different league to the iRig, which I found to be unusable due to the noise and clicks it produces.
- Answered by Steve M from Cardiff
Quite low latency, definitely very playable with sound modeling through the iPad.
- Answered by Michael P from Palo Alto
I hear no delay or latency when using this to record with the ipad or iphone, also the sound I hear does not sound digitized on my setup, it sounds good. I do hear a very slight delay if I use it with my mac though.
- Answered by Larrie K
I bought this promising 80-pound worth device yesterday and I am taking it back to the shop straight away.
I have been looking for the best quality undelayed sound for recording multitracks for my home recording and I must admit the device does not meet any of the above expectations.. The sound is a) digitalised and b) delayed which does not allow timely recording (it resembles the delay of a pitch-shifter or a poor quality equivalent of a whammy bar).
I thought it would be useful for some people like myself to know about this so it would save you a hassle of taking it back to the shop.
I would not recommend it to experienced instrument players.
- Answered by Pawel C
This is just a connector, and he jacks are pretty efficient for audio if there is a problem it must be your device's cpu that cant handle processing the sound
- Answered by Milad M from Melaka
Terrible latency for me on an ipad 2. Like a slap back echo.

pkbrennan wrote:Does that count as Diesel-Punk(ish)?
I'd say so. Dieselpunk is supposed to be gritty post WW stuff. I think most of the DP stuff I've seen is more 1950s but I understand it can go back to the 20s. I gather its really any period of time in there that isn't WWI or WWII. Tricky genre, though, because I've seen art and fiction labeled DP that is set during the world wars. Still, a defining feature would appear to be gritty representations of romantic technologies in the early 1900s. Rocketpacks, biplanes, zeppelins, the first commercial airliners, tanks, gasmasks, and the like.

couple of ballast questions, new owner
Hey all, I bought a used 2009 xstar, it had ~160hrs and was well maintained. The previous owner seemed to have partially installed the fly high system- so I have a few questions:
1. Re: the picture attached: one pump is facing down, the other two are facing up, which is the correct position? I believe the impeller should be facing down so water doesnt leak into the motor?
2. Only one of the pumps has the new green impeller, should I replace all them of at the same time?
3. I read a lot of people dont use the port/starboard stock ballast tanks (as they midship), why is this? I want extra weight regardless of the position, as long as the boat is balanced of course.
4. Based on the last question, would it be acceptable to plumb the additional front ballast bags as an overflow to the stock KGB tank (adjusting the valve to change the flow between stock/aftermarket is pretty annoying).[/list]
Thanks all.
Welcome to the MasterCraft family. Nice looking boat! Hope you make many good memories with it.
1) There is no right or wrong way to mount the pumps . . . but there is a best way! That is, impeller down so that any leaks don't drip into the motor. Simple to just unscrew the pump, unscrew and rotate the pump head (or reverse the switch on the dash,) and remount.
2) Might as well replace the other impellers -- your flow rate will improve.
3) Maybe what you are meaning is that owners replace the hard tanks with bags that can be filled with more weight and also give more storage space when empty. I think most people use rear ballast (one side or the other or both) most of the time, depending on whether its boarding or surfing.
4) Yes. In fact, I'll be installing a integrated bow sac tomorrow which fills from the KGB. Got it from wakemakers.com

(previous) 2001 X5, 1991 TriStar 190
Good to know the answers to these basic questions!
1) Agree with wheelerd. Down is better to prevent water from getting into your motor. Water shouldn't leak unless your lip seal or o-ring is bad though. The downside to pump down is that it makes changing out the impellers a little harder.
2) What color are the other two impellers? If they are black, definitely change them. If they are yellow and are not worn, I wouldn't change them. I have tested yellow vs green and there is no performance difference that I can find. Per Jabsco, the only difference is the color.
3)agree with wheelerd
4)agree with wheelerd

The similarity between man and trees.
A tree is a sturdy plant, with branches open wide.
They hold the fruit and flowers, but without the root, they die.
Trees are just like people,some wide, some short, and some tall.
You see them gnarled and broken, and some with no limbs at all.
But some are perfect in every way,They seem to reach the sky.
If someone does not cut it, it will eventually die.
A tree made perfect or a tree with burls, woulld die without the root.
Limbs do not add growth to the tree, it is the root that is responsible for the fruit.
Some limbs do not product fruit, they are no help at all.
But a tree has a way to get rid of it, the limb will die and fall.
Now Jesus is the root of man,and man the limb is he.
If man does not produce fruit, you like a limb will be.
Jesus can take a no good limb,when a limb accepts His plan.
It can be made new again,and become a real live man.
There is no life without God,though you may breathe a while.
But life is being born again,and accepting Jesus as a child.*
Brady C. Ervin
* Mark 10:14

I have the same comments as I did on Nov. 26th. You might ask why the same order 2 months later ... the case was not designed nor did I expect it to survive being thrown off the trunk of my car as I took a turn at 20 MPH. It did hold up well but I got a new phone so I figure I should have a new case.

This is a photograph made from 35mm slide film that was turned into a color negative and enlarged in the darkroom. This is a limited edition print. I will make a total of 20 enlargements any size from any negative then retire the negative.
David was born in San Antonio, Texas but grew up in California. After a stint in the Marines which included a tour in Viet-Nam, Rivas attended design school at the LA Mart, however, his talent as an artist didn't appear until a color photography class at Ventura College gave him the tools to produce the imagery that is his art. Rivas photographs such mundane things as broken glass, oily waste water, or fragments of graffiti. However, Rivas feels that the subject matter in his dynamic photographs is not as important as the viewers interpretation of them. The distorted reflection of an orange traffic cone and a green garden hose becomes a vehicle of serendipity that takes your mind to a place you can only imagine. Rivas says My work isn't...

Finished! Modern Crosses baby quilt
I am so happy with how this quilt has turned out. I adore the simplicity of this pattern, and I think it works perfectly for the baby that will be receiving this quilt. He has been dreamed of and wished for by his parents for many years, and I'm so happy for them. I hope this quilt will convey that happiness to them throughout the start of their journey into the parenting trenches.
This quilt is 100% pieced from my stash. Stash binding, stash batting, stash solids, and stash prints. Really! It was so exciting to manage to work strictly from my stash, I really enjoyed it, need to do it more often! The prints range from blues to greens to reds, from Alexander Henry to Denyse Schmidt and Michael Miller.
The backing was kind of a happy accident. When I read the pattern, which makes a much larger quilt, I decided to just halve the number of blocks and make something half as big, but when I laid it out on my design wall, it felt too big. I saved some of my blocks for the back, instead, and paired them with some various Kona blue solids in my stash, and I'm really happy with it!
The pattern comes from Modern Log Cabin Quilting: 25 Simple Quilts and Patchwork Projects by Susan Beal, which I highly recommend - and happens to be on sale at Amazon right now! I really have enjoyed the eye candy from this book, it's changed my perspective entirely on log cabins blocks. For the better!! I will definitely make another quilt like this one at some point, maybe an awesome scrap quilt for the end of the year or something.

Oh, it's just gorgeous! Thank you for this lovely photo post - your good wishes for the new family just shine through the pictures of the beautiful baby quilt you made them. And I'm so happy that you like my book!ReplyDelete
well done! i just bought this book and want to do the crosses quilt too but i just dont understand the cutting part. i cut out 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 for the smaller printed square, but what about the printed logs? it says 2" X 25", so what is the exact measurement so that i can sew along with the 2 1/4 X 2 1/4 ?ReplyDelete
pls advise..
Hi Wen, your email isn't associated with your Blogger profile, so I couldn't email you back directly, but for the most part, I just cut my printed logs as I went, which is what the author suggested to do. It winds up being approximately a total of 25" for the logs, which is where that measurement comes from. I hope that helps!ReplyDelete
Thank you for leaving a comment for me! I appreciate each and every one of them and try to respond when time allows. Your comments totally brighten my day :)

Back to wiki
Even though much of the compiler is rewritten, reading the [original document](ftp://226.net120.skekraft.net/pcc/porttour.ps) still gives valuable information about the compiler structure. The compiler is conceptually structured in two parts: [[pass1]] which is language-dependent, does parsing, typechecking and build trees, and [[pass2]] which is mostly language-independent. The instruction generator searches for largest coverable tree, as described in the Dragon [book](books) for example, but with additions from me to find the most efficient instruction when there are multiple choices. The Sethi-Ullman calculations are pretty much straightforward, can be found in almost any book on compilers. Its implementation in the original pcc were hand-crafted in target-dependent code, now it's only used to find the sub-tree evaluation order (and not to store trees) so the calculations are done based on the instructions generated. The [[register_allocator]] is implemented with its basis in the paper "Iterated Register Coalescing", ACM Transactions, No 3, May 1996. I've tried to keep it close to the pseudo-code. The addition to the [[register_allocator]] to handle multiple register classes (with overlapping regs) is mostly done by me. I haven't documented it, but some of the basics comes from the paper A generalized algorithm for graph-coloring register allocation, ACM SIGPLAN Notices, v.39 n.6, May 2004 <http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=996875&dl=GUIDE,&coll=GUIDE&CFID=458678&CFTOKEN=12286483> but i implemented a simpler and faster variant :-) Most of the other code and ideas has its origin in either the dragon book or the Modern Compiler Implementation in Java book.

Author Of Book About Android UI Told He Needs To Get Copyright Signoffs To Use Any App Screenshots
from the fair-use? dept
I need a little bit help with my book stuff and thought to ask it from all of you awesome people here at G+. I'm in a bit difficult situation in the finishing it. I have been in belief that using screenshots of apps as examples of the platform functionality is covered under fair use but apparently I was wrong.He then lists out 22 apps (down to 21 once he got permission from one):
So now I need to acquire permission to use screenshot of different apps I've used so I can keep them in. So if you or someone you know are the copyright holder of any of the following brands / apps or know who to contact please let me know.

Here's the thing: he should be pissed off at Wiley for totally failing him as a publisher and being obnoxiously unwilling to stand up for their author. Using screenshots in this manner is fair use. No question. I can't see how any intellectually honest person could go through the four factor test and not find that using screenshots in a book like this are fair use. Wiley should back up their author, but they don't, because they're too scared of a lawsuit and apparently don't have the guts to stand up for fair use rights. It's shameful, and should be a warning to any author not to sign on with Wiley. Why bother signing on with a publisher who makes you go through a silly wasteful exercise like this?
In fact, I'd imagine that many of the app developers are similarly inconvenienced by this process of now having to give Juhani permission. Of course they want their apps featured, but now they have to fill out some sort of release or license just to make Wiley's lawyers happy. This process inconveniences absolutely everyone. Wiley should be ashamed.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced Thursday that defensive end Da'Quan Bowers tore his Achilles' tendon and underwent a successful surgery Friday.
Da'Quan Bowers had successful surgery this morning to repair his torn Achilles tendon at Baptist Hospital Coral Gables.â Tampa Bay Buccaneers (@TB Buccaneers) May 11, 2012
It wasn't immediately clear how Bowers suffered the injury. The Bucs only said it occurred while Bowers was participating in their offseason program.
Bowers tweeted Thursday that he still intends to play football this year.
2013?? Get real... I'm playing THIS year 2012â Da'Quan Bowers (@DaQuanBowers91) May 10, 2012
A source with knowledge of the situation told NFL.com's Steve Wyche that the tear was to Bowers' right Achilles. The 6-feet-6, 280-pound lineman has dealt with knee injuries dating to his college days at Clemson, and he has undergone two surgeries to his left knee.
Bowers, 22, was selected in the second round (No. 51 overall) by the Bucs in the 2011 NFL Draft. He played in all 16 games last season, starting six, and recorded 25 tackles and 1.5 sacks.
