2010 Hennessey HPE800 Twin-Turbo Camaro - Click above to watch the video after the jump
How much horsepower is enough? Many would say that the 725 horsepower in the Hennessey HPE700 Camaro should have enough oomph to quell just about anyone's desires for straight line speed, especially for a street car. Then again, we're talking about a car built by John Hennessey, who surely spends every waking minute concocting ideas on how to get every last horsepower out of cars. His latest creation, the HPE800 Twin-Turbo Camaro, puts out an amazing 815 horsepower and 788 pound-feet of torque thanks to twin turbochargers strapped to a 415ci stroker motor and a host of other upgrades.
Not enough for you? Hennessey will build you an HPE1000 version complete with a twin-turbo 427ci LSX block and just about their entire catalog of go-fast parts for Chevy's musclecar. They recently strapped one down to a dyno, and the resulting numbers are just plain ridiculous: 847 horsepower and 801 lb-ft torque at the rear wheels. Watch the video after the jump to see for yourself.

The Hazards of EIA Energy ForecastsWARNING: Use of this outlook for decision-making may cause sea level rise, flooding, droughts, extreme weather, food shortages and ecosystem collapse. Accepting the conclusions of the latest energy outlook, released this month by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) means also accepting certain climate catastrophe. As we have noted before, the EIA has made a routine...

RELEASE: EIA Chief Urged To Address Climate ConcernsToday, environmentalists delivered a letter to Energy Information Administration (EIA) Administrator Adam Sieminski requesting that "the Energy Information Administration produce a safe climate scenario or scenarios that are consistent with our nation's climate goals." The letter comes as the EIA's Annual Energy Conference begins in Washington, DC.
Reaction: EIA's latest outlook another recipe for climate chaosThe EIA's Reference Case is a recipe for disaster, and indicates that we need a new set of ingredients to create the clean energy economy necessary to solve the climate crisis.
Upcoming EIA Energy Outlook: Not a ForecastAs energy wonks across the country gear up for the release of the Energy Information Administration's (EIA) International Energy Outlook (IEO), we here at Oil Change International wanted to be sure everyone is on the same page as we read over the EIA's analysis. Most importantly, when it comes to the words "outlook" or "forecast"...

The EIA's oil forecast is a climate disaster, why does Obama use it to justify drilling?The EIA's Reference Case forecasts show us the energy future we need to avoid for a safe climate. Yet the Obama Administration uses these forecasts as the basis for drilling in the Arctic and elsewhere on Federal Lands and the Outer Continental Shelf.

MEA Uniserv Directors (Joe Ryan, Denise Pyle, Ana Kinnison)
The Executive Board for the PEA is made up of the officers: President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary as well as the MEA – Representative Assembly delegates, the NEA-Representative Delegates and all At-Large elected representative. This group is scheduled to meet 3 times per year including their attendance at the Representative Council. The purpose of the Executive Board is to discuss local matters that impact or may impact our membership.
All terms are elected by the PEA membership at large and are two-year terms. The seats rotate so that the entire Board is not replaced in any one year, however all the officers run and are elected during the same two year span. Elections are held in conjunction with the MEA Region 5 elections in March. All terms become effective upon the first day of summer break.
The Representative Council (Rep. Council) is a governing body within the PEA. This is a collection of teachers from all 13 schools. The Council meets on the third Monday of each month at 4:15 unless there is a conflict within the school calendar or the Council as agreed to alternate date(s) & time(s). A ratio of 15 members per 1 representative is what the local By-laws stipulate will be allowed. A copy of the Constitution and By-laws is available on this site in the downloads section.
Representatives are required to attend a minimum of 80% of the meetings as well as hold monthly meetings within their buildings so that PEA information is disseminated to the membership. The election of building representatives is to be conducted in the fall at the start of the year. Due to changes in teaching assignments, voluntary/involuntary transfers, etc. the staff may change year to year within any given building making annual elections a necesity.
Feel free to bring any concerns you may have to your building representative for discussion before the Representative Council.

President Obama welcomed the Senate compromise on a stimulus plan Saturday and exhorted Congress to hurry to finish work on the legislation that he had originally hoped to sign on his first day in office.
Despite Obama's plea during his weekly radio address, the week ahead promises more haggling over the package. The Senate is expected to pass its version Tuesday, but then leaders must reconcile sharp differences with the House's bill on a number of issues.
The Senate proposal protects millions of taxpayers from the bite of the alternative minimum tax while slashing the amount of aid to ailing states for education spending and school construction that the House included in its plan.
Lobbyists and lawmakers were gearing up for a fight this week on other remaining differences. That could make it difficult for House and Senate negotiators to meet Obama's revised goal of having a measure in place for his signature by the Presidents' Day break, which begins next weekend.

Man Pop up Tent Reviews & Tips
If you're an occasional camper, a tent would be perfect. As with the majority of products, tents have a vast range of specialist brands that you are able to select from. If you're looking for tents that are simple and quick to assemble then you are going to want to get yourself a pop up camping tent. To grab these bargains, will be contingent on the good time of year you choose to purchase your tent. It is advised to avoid going for the absolute cheapest tents when searching for lasting price. If you're searching for a super-cheap tent that will just endure for a few trips to the beach, this isn't as important.
All About 2 Man Pop up Tent
If you need to leave your house, it is very important to use common sense when preparing your bags. It's equally as useful if you're ready to remain in your residence. If you're able to remain in your house, the electricity or running water may go out and not return on for days.
The Lost Secret of 2 Man Pop up Tent
A hiking and camping experience is genuinely the best way to return to nature and delight in the world. It is a great and rewarding pastime that anyone can enjoy, almost anywhere, anytime. For people who enjoy hiking and camping, obtaining this kind of tent is going to be one of the greatest investments you can ever make. Tents are usually quite simple to erect. This kind of tent is significantly quicker and simpler to assemble than your more traditional tent and due to this. For the large part, even the very best beach tents should be staked out, or so the tent you buy should come with stakes made specifically for sandy beach conditions to make certain that it is simple to set this up and allow it to be stable in the wind you'll often find at the beach.
As you are assessing where you will go, give significant thought to the kind of environment you wish to be in. Other people don't have any idea where they may go if they're made to leave their house. It's a superb concept to have a tent heater when you go camping in the event you wind up needing it. While you might be tempted to leave it outside, this is simply a very good idea if it's going to be safe from theft or animals during the evening. One of the absolute most important things you want to think about is the variety of people your camping tent should accommodate. As Big Man was pounding his tent stakes back in the ground it started to rain.
There were lots of good and a great deal of bad, tons of happy and a lot of sad in'39. A whole lot of people couldn't afford any of the aforementioned. It's a bit like managing the fashion business, in that they're always a season ahead.

Feedback: Pot Luck
by Brian West
Here are some additional photos of when I turned the boat over. This was the one point in the construction I worried about. It was much easier than I anticipated.
As you can see from the photos I used two gin-poles with a chain hoist attached to each.
Each pole was an 8"X8" timber, 16 ft long, and buried about one and a half feet into the ground.
Each chain hoist was rated at 2 tons. The guy wires were 5/8", no stretch, nylon rope anchored into the ground with deadmen.
If you look at the ground in the photos you will see a line attached near the gunwale closest to the ground, one running to each side, these were used to control the boat as it was turned.

We found it amazing in Mexico with dogs just roaming everywhere. Always friendly and never a problem with them. So nice to see.ReplyDelete
In Mexico, I never had any problem when out walking our dog. We came upon a very skinny dog one day, friendly and I wished I had something to give him to eat--all I had were some dog treats in my pocket so I gave those to him. He sniffed them and walked away--obviously used to "people" food!!ReplyDelete
A cute storyline, and I recognize many of those dogs too.ReplyDelete
I'd say it's raining cats and dogs in Lo de Marcos.ReplyDelete
I hope more people start realizing they can get them fixed and stop the fighting and relentless breeding. Way back when I went to Mexico on a spring break, the plight of the animals haunted me. Dogs so skinny every bone protruded.ReplyDelete
The forlorn are the saddest of all. Happy dogs sleep happy.ReplyDelete
I love critters of every kind, especially dogs and even cats. Enjoyed your post today, as always. One problem, though. Couldn't you get a parting shot of a dog walking away from you???ReplyDelete

Does JotForms support this feature?

Hi Jesse,
We do not have an easy way to achieved this however, I think that's doable via condition. Like for example, if question1 is not equal to "a", show error or suggestions message? Should this suffice?
Example Form: http://form.jotform.co/form/32068071244852?
select "A" and enter "test" in the 2nd question to see the submit button.
You can also clone this form and check it's conditions to figure it out.
Hope this helps. Regards!

Sample Question #299 (programming – C++)
Explain the differences between inline functions and #define in C++.
1) Inline functions are specific to a class; #define is global.
2) Inline functions work on member variables (usually private); #define works on symbols.
3) Inline functions are parsed by the compiler whereas #define is expanded by the precompiler.
4) Inline functions are safer because they follow type conventions of functions; #define can be anything.
5) Inline functions can be used for debugging; #define cannot because once it's expanded you don't get a break point at run time.
6) Inline functions benefit from consistent argument treatment; #define is a wild beast in this.
Maybe other differences?

Over the past five years, downtown Denver has experienced 30% population growth and 12% employment growth -- now providing employment, entertainment, retail, and educational opportunities for over 130,000 employees, 22,000 residents, 45,000 visitors, and 58,000 students, daily.
To address increased demand, city leaders have engaged these groups to develop new visions for bicycling and outdoor space downtown – including citywide plans to create a local transit strategy and to link land use and transportation together. These plans have laid the foundation for a multi-modal street system and prioritize moving people, rather than automobiles.
The Downtown Denver Partnership's latest mobility report, 'Transforming Mobility in Downtown Denver,' identifies data and trends, case studies, and recommendations to inform the policies, initiatives, and smart transportation investments needed to deliver the greatest economic impact and improve connectivity in our center city.
Gates Family Foundation President Tom Gougeon is a member of the DDP Management Board, and the Foundation invests in multi-modal access and infrastructure as part of our Community Development strategic initiative.

I seem to spend a lot of time these days checking out what other people are doing in the form of online marketing and advertisement. At first glance, I was quite overwhelmed and impressed with what I was seeing! Some of these sites were HUGE! They may have hundreds of articles. The have dozens of reviews and commentary over a large wealth of products. Page Ranks around 5 and 6. Hundreds of thousands, if not MILLIONS, of visitors per day.
And then there is my website...a handful of reviews, a few articles, some nice commentary and quite a few useful tips on making money (http://www.thewebreviewer.com). But nothing in the league of these others. So should I just quit? HELL NO!
First of all, the internet is a VERY BIG PLACE and there are plenty of web surfers to share the wealth. If you look closely at these sites, they were not created yesterday, either. They have been around for years. Content takes time. And what about the few thousand visitors a get per month? That is MORE than enough to make affiliate sales or earn some advertising revenue. Remember that the big players fill a certain void while the little players (like us, at least for right now!) fill another void. I know that when I initially started to research the web for money making opportunities, it was the smaller sites that made more of an impression on me. The big sites rely more on quantity and advertising.
So remember, don't get discouraged if your website or blog is not as fancy, or big, or as popular as the others...it really doesn't matter! You WILL still make money if its content is good and in time, it can easily grow into the power-house that currently intimidates us online!

Known Issues for the VLA Pipeline in CASA 5.1.0
- Contents
About this Page
This page describe issues affecting the CASA Integrated Pipeline in CASA 5.1.0. These issues are known to either cause the pipeline to fail mid-process, causing the scripts to exit to the CASA prompt or the unexpected exiting of CASA itself, or to cause problems for calibration quality. These failures may result in little or no calibration and potentially corruption of the MS in some cases.
Last update: 2018-12-12.
Testdelay.k does not exist
The symptom is the pipeline fails to complete and the last line in the casa log file is:
INFO gaincal::::casa Exiting script: Table testdelay.k does not exist
This may be caused by the pipeline finding no unflagged data on the delay calibrator, causing all subsequent calibration steps to fail. You may still be able to calibrate these data by hand or with the pipeline by selecting a different field as the delay calibrator.
Extra flagging of edge channels
The symptom is the pipeline flags on extra edge channel (lowest frequency) of each spw with each of three calls to applycal in the pipeline due to a bug in way linearflag with frequency interpolation was implemented. This affects the release version of CASA 5.1.0 available on CASA web page as no patch is currently available. The current resolution is a switch from linearflag interpolation over frequency to nearestflag. The fix to linearflag itself is planned to be released along with CASA 5.3.0 in the future. To get the fixed version of CASA 5.1.0 used for the production pipeline and VLASS, please download this version of CASA 5.1.0. This version will have pipeline version 40844 instead of the standard release version 40833.
Segmentation fault during tclean
The symptom is the pipeline fails with a segmentation fault near the very end of the pipeline during one of the calls to tclean. We are currently still investigating this issue, but a workaround involves running the pipeline without calibrator imaging by commenting the call to both hif_makeimlist and hif_makeimages from any compatible casa_pipescript.py file. For information about running the pipeline via a casa_pipescript.py file, please see the main CASA pipeline web page.
Memory leak and eventual hung process in hif_makeimlist
The symptom is the pipeline tries to take all available memory and eventually freezes the pipeline CASA task somewhere during hif_makeimlist. This issue is currently being investigated and appears to be related to a specific sequence of fully flagged spws. A solution is in development stage now, but a workaround involves running the pipeline without calibrator imaging by commenting the call to both hif_makeimlist and hif_makeimages from any compatible casa_pipescript.py file. For information about running the pipeline via a casa_pipescript.py file, please see the main CASA pipeline web page.
Two sources listed with Bandpass and/or Delay Scan Intents
If an observation has two or more sources listed with a scan intent for bandpass calibration (or delay calibration), the pipeline will try to use both sources for bandpass calibration, applying a time-variable bandpass calibration depending on how close in time the phase calibrator scans are to the different bandpass calibrators. The same is true of delay calibrator scan intents. A solution is to edit the Scan.xml file within the SDM-BDF prior to running the pipeline to remove the extra bandpass or delay scan intents or to split the data by which bandpass calibrator is desired.
Data with TARGET intents on a calibrator source
The VLA pipeline in 5.1.0/5.1.1 will not work when a field has an intent as a calibrator (CALIBRATE_AMPLI, CALIBRATE_PHASE, CALIBRATE_FLUX) as well as a target (TARGET), even when the scans for the intents are separated. This situation is frequently the case in older data when the scan for setting the requantizer gains was given a TARGET intent.

Man what a year. I was promoted at work, sold my first ever speech for real money, shot ducks in Arkansas, caught speckled trout in Louisiana, had another record year for blog hits (despite being about half as productive, blog-wise, as 2012), got my Masters Degree from Johns Hopkins University and most fantastically, I became a dad. Its pretty incredible when you stop and think about it that, in the space of a year, you go from thinking kids are a possibility some time in the future, to two of them being a a very real and very loud reality. For all of these reasons, and a bunch of others, 2013 has been a very cool year.
There is obviously lots to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, close family, good friends, a warm home in a beautiful place, but I would be remiss if I didn't thank the one person who makes my life as good as it is, my wife Kim. She is an amazing human being, with reserves of patience that are just astounding. When the kids are screaming, often in unison, and often at 3 in the morning, it is enough to drive even the most centered person around the bend; but Kim hangs in, rocking and soothing Alex and Emily understandingly. She lives a life these days that is never more than a minute away from complete meltdown, times two, of course, and she does it with an aplomb that causes a more mortal person, like myself, to pause in wonderment.
This summer, when we were talking about ways of cutting back on the family budget to prepare for the arrival of Alex and Emily, I mentioned giving up my hunting leases, not insignificant (nor wholly necessary) expenditures. Kim wouldn't hear of the idea, and in the process of telling me to keep my leases, uttered the words that every hunter in all of the world hopes to hear from their significant other, "I want you to hunt." Maybe this was her way of having me out of the house on Saturday mornings from November through the end of January, but I suspect it was her completely selfless desire to let me continue doing something that made me happy. What it has succeeded in doing, is making me think of her every time I look out over a decoy spread.
As I sit here writing this, a superfluous undertaking if there ever was one, my wife has managed to bake several batches of cookies; the children are generally content; the house is almost done being decorated for the holidays. I have only managed to sneak a dollop of cookie dough from the bowl. I can't help but think this is what Martha Stewart would be like if she were a real person. Meanwhile, it takes all the energy I can muster to get up and load the woodstove. I am not entirely sure that I have ever done anything to deserve having this kind of woman in my life, but I am sure glad that I do have her. If our kids turn out to be functioning and contributing members of society, that society will have their mother to thank. If they know the ins and outs of Richard Nixon's environmental policies, well, then you can thank me. Or blame me, whichever you prefer.
I am also thankful for my sister, Jenn, who has always been a huge part of my life, and has become a huge part of the life of my kids. She decided not to have her own, but she has fallen in love with Alex and Emily in a way that is extraordinarily special to watch. I could not believe any more strongly that ties to family are essential in life, and it is so important to me to have family involved in the lives of Alex and Emily. Aside from Kim, Aunt Jenny is my best friend, and she's the most genuine person you could know. Like her younger brother, you don't have to wonder what she's thinking...she'll let you know.
Waiting for my commuter bus one morning, outside, and not far away from the boat launch at Kent Narrows (yes, I pick up my bus in a rather scenic locale), blustery winds and a sharp chill were in the air. I looked around at my fellow commuters, grimacing and bundled up tight, and thought, these poor, timid, souls, have never watched as a group of diver ducks skirt the decoys, wings cupped. They've never watched a group of ten Canada Geese circle over a field decoy spread, twice, three times, four times, growing ever-lower, until they finally commit, feet down, wings locked, right into the hole. They've never watched the woods come to life sitting in a tree stand. I was the only idiot in the group who, full face exposed to the cold, took a deep breath and smiled. This will get those birds moving, I thought, perhaps out loud. "You like this weather??" came from a scarfed legal secretary. "No, I don't like it, I love it, it will get the birds moving." She looked at me like I was a bird.
I am thankful that I get to live in this special place, where the seasons are marked by outdoor pursuits, the folks in my neighborhood know my name, and wave to me when they walk or drive by. I did not grow up on the Eastern Shore, but I am thankful that I will have the opportunity to raise my kids in this place, that they can learn the ways of the world at a slower pace than they might in other places, maybe take a little longer to grow up.
The fire is aglow in the woodstove, my glass is full of bourbon, my wife is in the rocking chair beside me reading, and the kids are upstairs snoring. In these few moments of peace and quiet, it is nice to reflect on the immense blessings that life has given me this year, and many years past. In a world of serial complainers, I can sit in these moments and think that the best we can ever hope to do, is find contentment in that which is most common, the warm and joyous blessings of the everyday.

One very popular assumption in the epistemological literature is that belief and assertion are governed by one and the same epistemic norm. This paper challenges this claim. Extant arguments in defence of the view are scrutinized and found to rest on value-theoretic inaccuracies. First, the belief-assertion parallel is shown to lack the needed normative strength. Second, I argue that the claim that assertion inherits the norm of belief in virtue of being an expression thereof rests on a failed instance of deontic transmission. Third, the inheritance argument from the norm for action is proven guilty of deontic equivocation. Last but not least, it is argued that, on a functionalist normative picture, assertion and belief are governed by different epistemic norms, in virtue of serving different epistemic functions.

We went to my niece Jessica's wedding a few months ago. Here are all the kids outside the church. It was a hot day and Paige wasn't looking very happy.
The older boys left there jackets on for this photo and then off they came for the rest of the day. I can't blame them, it was really blazing hot that day.
There were bubbles on each table at the reception and Paige quickly grabbed some and started blowing. This is her innocent look. She was hoping I wasn't noticing how she was taking the bubbles off of ALL the tables.
Zachary had his Baseball Awards Banquet last night. I can't believe he only has two more years of high school. I have let the kids know that they can go to college up to two hours away and THAT IS IT. I think they assume I am kidding. I am not.
Now, I am going to be brave and actually show you a picture of myself. I hate to have my picture taken because I really need to lose 40 pounds. When I see the photo I always ask myself "Who is that person"? and am then shocked to realize it is actually me.
Are you ready? Here it is......Samantha and I getting ready to leave for American Idol.
In case you can't tell, I'm the chubby one on the right. Don't you love Samantha's shades (and Paige's art work on the wall next to us)?
I keep thinking I really need to work on losing weight before we go to Ethiopia. I don't want our new kids to be shocked by there new mama's chubbiness. This picture makes me a little more motivated. Nothing like sharing your inner feelings with the entire blogisphere to really get the motivational juices flowing.
Well, I must go now. The family is watching Survivorman and he is teaching us how to survey if stranded in the desert. I don't want to miss him eating the live scorpion. They just look oh so yummy. Really. I mean it.

Just so you know, I delete any and all photos that show the 'real' me. I feel better that way. I am working on the weight loss thing. Hopefully in a few more months I won't have to delete 98% of my photos anymore.
You look beautiful! And Samantha looks like she should be on Idol.

With this coronary heart-healthy plan, Good Housekeeping brings the Mediterranean to you with heaps of vegetables and fruit, fish, poultry, lamb, olive oil, grains, dairy — and a little bit wine. When it comes to Mediterranean food regimen, here are great exemplifications of what we can study and respect from the Grecian food plan and way of life. Today, we've over one hundred,000 members joined in 1,500 convivia – our local chapters – worldwide, as well as a community of 2,000 meals communities who practice small-scale and sustainable manufacturing of quality foods. We all shed some pounds at completely different rates, however my girlfriends all lost between 4 lbs to 9 lbs per individual. Macrobiotic diet includes consuming lots of recent vegetables and fruit, as an alternative of frozen ones.
The standard weight-reduction plan-coronary heart hypothesis says that saturated fats within the food regimen causes coronary heart disease by raising LDL cholesterol. After two years, the Mediterranean group had misplaced a median of 9.7 kilos, the low-fat group 6.four pounds and the low-carb group 10.3 pounds. Analysis shows which the standard Mediterranean and past weight-reduction plan regime decreases the chance about heart problems. These plant-primarily based meals must be loved at each and every meal, as research reveals they promote coronary heart well being, general health, and weight control.
People should not aware how many benefits and benefits macrobiotic eating regimen actually has. CONCLUSIONS: Among persons at high cardiovascular danger, a Mediterranean eating regimen supplemented with additional-virgin olive oil or nuts reduced the incidence of main cardiovascular occasions. Mediterranean diets have been particularly attention-grabbing to researchers in relationship to coronary heart disease. Details: one hundred eighty sufferers with metabolic syndrome were randomized to observe either a Mediterranean food regimen or a prudent" low-fats diet for two.5 years.
There are some easy issues you are able to do to eat more of the healthy foods that make up the Mediterranean diet. This, as you could have most likely already figured out is a leading reason for weight achieve in individuals who eat quite a lot of refined flour products, not least of these being white pasta. The huge picture is what foods extend life relatively than trying solely at risk factors. My noon meal is my greatest meal of the day, I don't often eat between meals, and I never eat late dinners or have fattening treats before bedtime.
Nut products are additionally any staple meal all through Mediterranean and past international locations and therefore are excessive in monounsaturated fat, the one which is not going to accumulate trapped inside the veins. Most diets are unnatural and so unrealistic that they will by no means result in life-style and meals plans that can be maintained after individuals have lost weight. It is all the time a good idea to shop at the perimeter of the shop, that is normally the place the whole foods are discovered.

Talking to girls is easy. Talking to girls about romance is impossible.
My mantra right now is Mike Posner's "Cooler Than Me": only portions though since a lot of the girls I have crushes on don't think they're cooler than me, they just are. I'm the guy who writes essays about things I love to pass the time1. It's happened over and over again: I'll write a letter explaining why part of my heart forever belongs to a woman then never hear from that woman again. Because I can't say it out loud without stuttering or mumbling, but I can sure as hell write it out for you.
It's like Episode 7 of The Hard Times of RJ Berger or The Switch: you can build up only so many ideas about the relationship or think up so many tricks to get what you want, but the only thing that will ever work is talking to girls and listening to how they feel and what they want. That is, expressing your feelings and discovering whether or not the feelings are mutual.
Certainly most of what I want revolves around embodying the Lothario character like The-Dream (see "Put It Down," "Rockin' That Shit," "Fast Car," et al) or like The Afghan Whigs (see "Somethin' Hot," "66," "John the Baptist," and so on) but I know there's a whole lot of build up before that. Most of my life feels like I'm trying to convince these girls that I'm actually dateable–like Enchanted–because Prince Charming's a dumbass who talks with squirrels more than with women. I always feel like I build the friendship up to the point where it seems appropriate to say something like, "Oh, listen, you're pretty great and I'd like to have more of you in my life" then things get weird and they move away. Not always move away and of course I never express it that succinctly. Usually more of a "Hey, we should get coffee" and then after coffee, "Oh, I had an ulterior motive: we should date."
For all the "Turn Ons" sections of Playboy I see with "Sense of Humor," I laugh.2 I do it because I know it says "Sense of Humor" but it means "Sense of Humor with an eight pack. Ten packs optional, but seriously, I posed naked for the entire nation, so you'll need six as the entry level." I understand that if and when I nail Miss March, it's because I'm so hilarious that she decided to put up with me writing an essay for her every once in a while until I start recycling adjectives. I'm sorry cheese is so fucking delicious.
So I guess I'll try to wrangle up some cute pen pals that I can later make uncomfortable but save them the trouble of moving away. There will be no touching, but there is an off chance that I might find the relationship fulfilling.
1. You see what I did there? It must be the holiday season because you can call me Meta Clause.A
2. Pretty much once per two magazines.
A. Holy Hell, did I just type that?

So I haven't blogged or replied to personal email much in the last few days. Basically I've just been really busy at work, and at home been playing with Toby or trying to get him to go to sleep which is kind of challenging at the moment. Here's what I did at work on Monday:
Re-plan a great big project and update it Gantt chart
Review some design documents
Submit some expenses
Request a testing environment
Create two status reports
Attent two status meetings
Get on to a steering committee
Do a couple of things to keep the team's morale up (it's pretty good at the moment, but it's good to be proactive)
So it was quite non-stop. And I didn't get the chance to blog the fact that I saw some toenail clippings on the floor in the office restrooms. Eeeeeeuuuuuuuwwwwwwww.


text: While doing some blog browsing, I came across a nice recipe for Scottish oatcakes. There was a lovely photo of the ingredients, so it was easy to figure out the consistency of the oatmeal required, as I wasn't familiar with the local names. They turned out great and they're party worthy, easy and delicious, so will likely be sharing these with my friends at our next gathering.

APD: Man allegedly stole $95k from Trustco
Albany detectives arrested a 26 year old Lancaster Street man last Friday morning for stealing over $95,000 dollars while working as an employee for Trustco Bank.
Following a thorough investigation detectives arrested Jeffrey Roscoe of 794 Lancaster Street at the South Station. He was charged with Grand Larceny 2nd and Falsifying Business Records 1st.
Roscoe, who was the head teller at the 415 Whitehall Road branch, allegedly stole $95,454.00 dollars between February 1st, 2010 and December 15, 2011.
He is alleged to have made several false transactions over a period of time in order to withdraw money for himself. Once he withdrew the money he would then cancel the transaction to cover it up until a internal audit caught the scheme.
The money was stolen directly from the bank and at no point were any of the customer's personal accounts affected.
Roscoe became a suspect after an internal audit in December, 2011, turned up the discrepancy in his accounting. He was immediately suspended pending an internal and criminal investigation.
He was arraigned Friday in City Criminal Court and sent to the Albany County Jail on $15,000 bail.
I'm not surprised that Finch is the biggest polluter of the Hudson. I worked in Glens Falls for a few years and that town reeked. Most locals were used to it, but I would gag almost every day up there when I went outside - it smelled like rotten hot dogs. I had an apartment up in Queensbury and on hot summer nights you could smell it up there too.
Don't get me wrong, I love Glens Falls and Queensbury, but if they really want to revitalize that area they need to get rid of that odor.
Say Something!
We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.

3 Ways a Serviced Apartment Makes Your City Break Less Expensive
One of the best things about a city break is having a holiday without having to spend much. Of course, it's easy for costs to spiral out of control, so how do you stop that happening? One way is to book a serviced apartment instead of a hotel room. Here are just three ways doing so should save you money. There's a Fully-Fitted Kitchen If you ask people to list the benefits of booking a serviced apartment over a hotel, 'access to a fully-fitted kitchen' is probably going to come out ahead.

Written by journalist Izhar Ullah, this article addresses the cruel treatment and lack of equal rights experienced by transgender individuals in Peshawar, Pakistan. Specifically, this article follows the story of Mussarat, a transgender from Bajaur who ran away from his home at the age of 15. He experienced severe beatings from his father and was blamed for anything negative that happened to the family, claiming that Mussarat was a curse for the entire family and was to be held responsible for any ill-fate they experienced. Moreover, Mussarat was molested time and again by boys and men in the village and eventually felt forced to leave because of the "social embarrassment and hurdles" his presence created for his parents. He retreated to a transgender community in Peshawar to live under the care of transgender guru Khushboo.
Throughout Pakistan, transgender individuals are mistreated and not protected by the police or laws. "Most of the time, goons get drunk and come here asking for sexual favours," explains Khushboo. "We can't do anything as such people are influential and threaten us with dire consequences if we refuse." Many transgender are raped and molested constantly and forced into prostitution. They are treated as pariahs of society who must live in poverty because they do not fit in anywhere. However, a glimmer of hope for these individuals came in 2011 when the Supreme Court of Pakistan issued a verdict terming transgender individuals as equal citizens of Pakistan. While this verdict was a monumental first step in lessening the suffering of the transgender in Pakistan, many have yet to receive their citizen cards and few, if any, changes have been noted in their day to day lives. The government of Pakistan will need to work harder to increase the well-being of these members of society, if they are ever to feel like fully accepted members of society.

Contributed by the Dynamic Systems Division of ASME for publication in the JOURNAL OF DYNAMIC SYSTEMS, MEASUREMENT, AND CONTROL. Manuscript received July 1, 2013; final manuscript received February 3, 2014; published online April 28, 2014. Assoc. Editor: Gregory Shaver.
This paper investigates a kind of consensus problem in multi-agent systems, revises an existing control input for consensus by dynamic quantizers, and also gives a visible distributed event-triggered rule to update the parameters for dynamic quantizers. In other words, distributed event-triggered dynamic quantizers are firstly proposed and employed when designing a consensus strategy for multi-agent systems by this paper. Meanwhile, the overall steps of the control strategy are included. The numerical results come to agreement with the theoretical analysis, and shows that the proposed strategy can get faster convergence speed in comparison with an existing one.
Example for systems described by graph theory
Topology of the considered system
Four agents of multi-agent system (3) under Eqs. (9) and (15) converge close to their initial average rapidly.

A Polish tenor who is one of opera's rising stars will replace famed tenor Rolando Villazon in a Metropolitan Opera performance transmitted live to movie theaters worldwide.
Opera fans' ears will be tuned to tenor Piotr Beczala on Saturday afternoon, when he sings the part of Edgardo in Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammermoor."
The Met said Villazon was ill with a cold.
Saturday's performance is part of "The Met: Live in HD" series, which reaches hundreds of movie theaters and other venues in the U.S., Asia and Europe.

I'm a tidy person by nature. I like things to be straight. If a room isn't as it should be then I can't relax in it until it is. And of course, if I can't then neither can my family because I will huff and puff and make a huge fuss until it's all sorted.
It was the same when I had a busy job. To ensure that nothing got overlooked, I had tidy piles of paper dotted around my desk so that at any moment I could see what was still awaiting my attention. This was how I maintained the illusion of control for myself. My boss had a room that looked like a bomb had gone off in it. I used to hyper-ventilate just standing on its threshold. Paper was piled upon paper upon paper so that it was impossible to find a flat surface on which to work. And yet, if you asked him where anything was he could immediately lay his hand on it. He had control in his chaos - his brain was clearly bigger and with better wiring than mine.
Unfortunately, being anal about tidiness does not always sit happily in a house with four children. They fail to understand how important to my mental well being a tidy house is and I cannot comprehend how they can walk into an ordered room and destroy it in a matter of seconds without even a nod to its former pristine state. So it's a bit of an unhappy mix and I have to bite my tongue and close my eyes to it to save myself from going mad.
I do have some understanding though. Don't tell my kids but I wasn't a tidy child. I too had drawers that were so crammed full of stuff that they wouldn't close. The catchphrase 'Don't open that cupboard! Things fall out!' could have been written for me. Too much stuff, not enough space and no interest in achieving more than the merest modicum of tidiness to get my mum off my back. That was me. And, it appears, is them.
Task for the summer - sort my eldest's room. The others need attention but hers was the worst. We tackle it storage unit by storage unit. The desk, the bedside table, the vanity unit and finally the wardrobe. We do it together. She is good at throwing away and we fill bag after bag of clutter in a satisfyingly Cathartic manner. The result is impressive. A place for everything and everything in its place. There were even clear spaces waiting ready to be filled. It was great. I feel calm and she is pleased.
It lasted less than a day. Fresh ironing hidden rather than hung up. Toiletries left on the side rather than in their newly allocated spot. Bags, scarves, clothes, magazines all not where they were supposed to be. Previously this blatant disregard for my tidiness would have resulted in a minor explosion of anger but slowly I'm resigning myself to it.
I'm not giving in. I remain unchanged. If it's not tidy I twitch. That's just who I am. But I can't make them who I am. They will learn to be tidy or they won't. There is nothing that I can do about it. I hope they will have enough respect for me and their environment to make some sort of effort but if I want the house like a new pin then I'm afraid that that is going to have to be down to me. At least my square metre is straight!

SEEDY 'dogging' and gay sex sessions are still taking place in a Middleton beauty spot, months after the problem was first reported to police.
Rhodes Lodges, the popular fishing location and nature reserve just off Manchester Old Road, has become renowned for the less savoury pastimes taking place in its car parks.
And now the days are getting darker far earlier, the problem is getting worse. 'Swingers' travelling to the site to carry out sex acts in their cars, often with complete strangers, are now parking up as early as 6pm - in full view of disgusted local residents.
One Kings Drive man said: "This area is notorious for so called 'dogging' and as a meeting place for gay men, and has been for some years.
"It has reached the point where my wife, children and myself were pulling out of our street to go shopping and there were 12 cars on the car park.
"At one of the cars there was a man stood facing the car whilst the occupant in the car was very clearly performing a sex act on the man stood at the side of the car. All of this was going on at only 6.30pm in full view of the road, as well as my family."
The resident has now asked for the council to try and put an end to these 'dogging' sessions by shutting off the lodges at night.
He said: "Bearing in mind that the residents of Kings Drive, Parkfield and Princess Drive are amongst the highest council tax payers in the borough, I don't think that it would be an unreasonable request to ask Rochdale Council to put a barrier across the entrance and ask the Alkrington Woods warden to open, say at 8am, and lock it in winter at 5 or 6pm to prevent these disgusting goings on.
"I think that this area needs to be protected for all to use and not just for the minority."
Even 10 years ago, the lodges car parks were known as a gay cruising area, and became controversial in 1997 when Trevor Candlin, who was openly active in the gay community, died there after suffering multiple stab wounds. His killer was never traced.
In 2001 there was a terrifying spate of attacks on gay men in and around the same site, when more than 20 victims fell prey to a masked attacker who wielded a piece of scaffolding.
In response to the residents' latest concerns, Councillor Peter Williams said: "This is a very unsavoury situation that has been going on for many years. The people doing it are a nuisance to ordinary users of the park area.
"All previous attempts to discourage this activity have failed. I will be having a meeting with the park ranger service and the police in the new year to see if there are any further deterrent measures that can be taken."

Josiah napped late yesterday, from 8:30pm until I woke him at 1:30am. He nursed and was back in bed at 2am. Carl and I followed shortly thereafter. The alarm woke us at 6:30, as scheduled. I woke Josiah up at 7am....I was excited for today's PT visit. I changed him, nursed him, and prepared the living room for his PT visit. K and D arrived promptly at 8am. I was beside myself with excitement. My fingers were crossed that Josiah would show D his new tricks. He did not disappoint.
Josiah was happy to see his 'girlfriends.' He was playful and engaging with both ladies. While on his back, he happily reached, grabbed, and played with several toys. He demonstrated his ability to raise both arms up the air, simultaneously. He played with his fingers and hands. He sucked on his arm lol. His side-lying was wonderful today. He even showed D his new trick of rolling over onto his belly....she had to help him 'unstick' his arms each time (as they become trapped underneath him). D taught him how to use his leg to return to his back from a side-lying position....he later demonstrated his understanding of the lesson. K and I eagerly pulled out the tripod toy to show D Josiah's understanding of cause and effect. When the music stopped, Josiah used his legs to restart the music (this requires moving the middle hanging toy...a green circle). I repositioned the tripod and Josiah proved his ability to utilize his arms for the same purpose. It was very exciting. While on his belly, he utilized many muscles in an effort to move/turn his head. This is a challenge for Josiah, but his proved that he is gaining strength in his neck. D also placed him in a sitting position; he worked hard to keep his head under control.
D was excited about his progress over the last month. She indicated he is (finally) ready for weekly PT. I am THRILLED! Starting next week, Josiah will have PT weekly. He will continue to work with K, weekly, as well. My excitement is overflowing :)
By the end of today's session, Josiah was side-lying, crying, and unable to keep his eyes open. He was exhausted!!! I nursed him for about 5 minutes before he fell fast asleep in my arms. I placed him in his crib at 9:15am. I spent the next FOUR hours getting things done; Finally, at 1:15pm, I woke him. It had been 5.5 hours since he had last eaten. He nursed VERY well, played for awhile, consumed 1.5 ounces of a bottle, and (again) fell fast asleep. I put him down for a nap at 3:30pm.....he remains asleep (it's now 5:30pm).
Tomorrow, he is scheduled for the next Synagis shot. I am, as always, nervous about the weight check. Regardless, I remain optimistic!
I see how far Josiah has come in the past 6 weeks, and I remain in awe. I see his potential. I know all that he will be able to accomplish soon. He is an amazing child. We could not be more blessed that he is ours <3.
As a side note: As I mentioned, yesterday was World Down Syndrome Day. I forgot to mention how we celebrated at 7am......we had ice cream for breakfast.....all of us! I think THAT will be a new tradition :)
Welcome. I was inspired to write this blog while pregnant with my son, Josiah. At 18 weeks gestation, Josiah was diagnosed with Down Syndrome. He had open heart surgery at 3 months and has had RSV twice. He is now 21 months old. He and his two older brothers amaze us everyday. Josiah was not a mistake, nor is he a regret. He is a miracle and the light of our lives. We share with you this beautiful life we have been blessed with.

Past Regional and National Games Online Results
Papua New Guinea's only judo athlete to qualify for an Olympic Games, Raymond Ovinou, will step on to the mat tomorrow to face his Canadian opponent Antoine Bouchard. It will be the first bout in the round of 64 in the Men's under 66kg category.
Bouchard is ten years Ovinou's junior, but despite the difference in age, knows that he will be up against a world-class opponent. The Canadian has been a consistent performer on the international scene including finishing first at the Pan American titles in 2015. He took up Judo at the age of five and trains with the Judo Club Jonquiere in Canada.
Ovinou on the other hand proudly represents his Gereka Judo Club where he not only trains but assists in the coaching of junior athletes.
In the lead-up to the Rio Olympics, Ovinou spent time in Japan preparing for the Games, however this time was cut short with the passing of his father less than a month before the Games.
Rio is Ovinou's second Olympics after taking part in the London 2012 Olympics. He first represented PNG at the 2003 Pacific Games in Fiji and has been PNG's most consistent Judoka through the years.
Coach, Richard Glied said, "Raymond needs to control the grip from the beginning especially against Bouchard who is a left sided fighter. We have been working on this in training along with Raymond's special uchi-mata technique which we hope he will be able to pull off tomorrow."
The soft-spoken Ovinou said, "I am looking forward to doing my best for PNG. Hopefully through my performance, more Papua New Guineans will take up the sport."
Ovinou will take the mat at 10:00am on Sunday the 7th of August Rio time (11:00pm Sunday PNG Time).

Happy, Hopeful and Smiles vs Dragging, Dread and Drudge
Good Monday Morning! Or is it? The fact that it's after noon and I'm just now ready to post a blog that was supposed to be up at five o'clock this morning might indicate that this isn't a good Monday morning for me. But it is! The sky is blue, the birds are singing and life is good!
Do you start the week happy, smiling and positive, or, are you more in the, I HATE MONDAYS category? Do we set ourselves up for success the same way we trigger failure when we greet Monday dragging in with dread, drudging through duties, and watching the clock?
I'm late posting this blog, I'm still in my pjs and I haven't written a word on my manuscript for three weeks! I am, however, writing on another project that isn't part of this challenge. I was blessed to spend an unexpected two weeks with my mother, who is recovering from a stroke and I am getting myself organized to move next week.
Life interrupted my life. It tends to do that – doesn't have a lot of respect for my best made plans. But, it does leave me the choice of how I respond to the interruptions.
A couple of weeks ago, Kay blogged about how our attitude can redirect our future, and it reminded me of a Cherokee Indian Legend, Two Wolves. Do you know this legend? It's one of my favorites.
An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. "A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego."
The Grandfather continued, "The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.
The same fight is going on inside you – and inside very other person, too."
The grandson thought about it for minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
There is a longer version of this legend called The Wolves Within, which I also love.
Today, I will feed the positive wolf. The wolf who believes I CAN! Which one are you feeding?
Terri Rich
Terri Richison (writing as Terri Rich) lives in Clear Lake City, TX with her husband and a giant Great Dane (giant even by Great Dane standards). She is working on self-publishing women's fiction and avoiding getting a pie in the face if she doesn't produce pages for every critique session! PIES OR PAGES! Terri started telling stories almost as soon as she could talk – she learned everything she needed to know about storytelling at her grandmother's knee. Craft however, is something she is still learning – those damn commas give me nightmares!

I hope as Wes gets older he'll really come to love his ever-growing collection of hand and finger puppets. He already showed a budding interest at 1 week while watching his papa's amazing debut performance. I think Craig may have missed his true calling!

Too cute!!
Oh my goodness! I had followed you over from weddingbee to mom quixote, and then for a while to this blog, but forgot to watch for updates. I was reading the former Mrs. CP's posts about children and you came to mind. I am excited for you that you have had such a gorgeous baby! I know this is what you wanted, and I'm sure it's the most amazing adventure for you and your hubs. I can't wait to catch up on your posts! Congratulations to all of you! (Love the name, too!)
Wow, he does have amazing hand control for one so young ( Wes, not Craig 🙂 ) I do believe that perhaps Craig should add puppet master to his resume!!

Herald Tribune - Sex Abuse Case Aims At Boy Scouts
Posted on Jun 01, 2011
SARASOTA COUNTY - Two local families are suing the Boy Scouts of America, a Scout and St. Johns United Methodist Church, saying that lax supervision enabled the Scout to sexually abuse their sons during overnight camping trips.
The lawsuits also allege that the organizations ignored warnings of abuse and bullying in the Southwest Florida Council's Troop 23.
One of the lawsuits states that teenager Robert Brehm, a Scout given authority over younger Scouts, held a knife to a 12-year-old boy's throat and forced him to perform oral sex on him during a 2007 scouting trip to Florida Caverns State Park in Jackson County.
The other case alleges that Brehm physically threatened a 13-year-old boy to force him to allow a third Scout to perform oral sex on him during a 2007 trip to Camp Flying Eagle in Manatee County.
The church is named in the suit as a coordinator of the Scout troop, which provided a place for the Scouts to meet and transportation to the overnight outings.
Local and national Scout officials did not comment specifically on the suits. St. Johns church pastor Bill Corristan said he had not seen the suits late Monday and did not want to comment.
Brehm, a 2008 graduate of Sarasota Military Academy who is only named in one of the lawsuits, said the charges are false.
Both lawsuits assert that troop leaders with the Southwest Florida Council learned on at least two other occasions that older Scouts were abusing or bullying younger ones in the local troop. The suits also say that the Scouts and the church did not have supervisors on the trip who were trained to spot or prevent abuse from happening.
