The Good vs The Bad
It looks like the Open Source Matters Board may be making some progress in its new structure. It has been about six months since the new board was put into place and they have been meeting about twice a month and documenting (though without the detail I think should be given) and publishing those minutes on the Volunteer portal of Joomla.com which is an obscure place to find OSM minutes when OSM has their own website.
Notable is the OSM new board seems to be following in the footsteps of the previous board in that they are not publishing any financial information. The board does not seem to be taking their fiduciary responsibilities to heart as there isn't even any apparent discussion of how the expenses are coordinating with the budget in the minutes of the board.
Joomla Proceeding With Restructuring!
If you haven't kept up with the changes that are already implemented for the new Joomla! organization, this may come as a surprise. Will it affect the project positively? Those that decided to implement this change think so obviously. However not everyone is sure about the impact. First off, you need to review the new bylaws that were quietly enacted on October 20, 2016. Second, you need to visualize the new organizational structure.
Restructuring Teaser
After complete silence it appears there has been some communication about nearing the goal for restructuring.
The Frustration Goes On And On!
Just recently on the Joomla Forum, Michael Babker (Past: Release Lead, Security Team Member, CMS Maintainer Present: Framework Maintainer, .org System Administrator, Bug Squad Member) posted the following frustrations:
The Silence Is Deafening!
Here we are in April. In at least some places across the US it is starting to actually feel like spring and in others it is still wintery.In Open Source Matters, Inc. it is actually dreary. There seems to be serious problems in this transition process OSM has embarked upon. It started at JandBeyond in 2014 (Some ground work was actually done in 2011). You will note that once the Structure Team completed it's work and the votes were cast in about May of 2015 there was a supposed: "There is a commitment to increased transparency." However we haven't seen any increase. In fact transparancy is looking more and more opaque every day. For instance, board minutes for August, September, October, and December of 2015 were not released until February of 2016. OSM is doing better so far this year. We actually have minutes up through the March meeting. That was very helpful to be able to see that the OSM Board which was disolved in October 2015 except for the three officers as called for in the current bylaws is allowing former members of the board to attend board meetings and perhaps vote on matters or maybe only influence the outcome. Don't know if they allow a vote for sure as they don't record votes nor do they provide the actual quorum numbers other than to say they have a quorum. While the former board members are still classsed as OSM "Members" due to the quirky setup caused by their New York corporate changeover a few years ago, those "members" are only supposed to vote in an election or in a special meeting. "Members shall have the right to vote on the following matters only: election of the Board of Directors. Voting on all other matters is expressly reserved for the Board of Directors." So, why are they attending at all?
OSM Has Gone Dark!
For a number of years now Open Source Matters, Inc. has done a really poor job of communicating. Since October, 2015 they have gone completely dark! No, I don't mean they have gone to the dark side (in Star Wars parlance). I mean they have gone completely silent. I know, I know, it's hard to tell since they were not that far away from this state to begin with. Now, however, with what is supposed to be major changes to the governing structure of Joomla happening, all communication with the outside world (or should I say those with an abiding interest in all things Joomla) has shriveled up and blown away. Last time I checked, the terms of all of the members of the OSM Board were to end on October 8th, 2015. On September 28th there was a call for a special meeting of the OSM board scheduled for October 8th at 3:30 am Eastern Time (9:30 pm Central European Summer Time (CEST)). That's it - the last communication on the Open Source Matters public mailing list.
Joomla Proceeding With All Due Speed To A Trainwreck?
Feel like you are not "part of the conversation" surrounding Joomla lately? Well you are correct. The Joomla leadership team (all of them, CLT, PLT, and OSM) have somehow mashed together leaving the rest of us on the sidelines while they conduct their conversations mostly behind closed doors. Every now and then a snippet works its way loose and we get a little insight on how the wheels may be coming off the tracks. For instance on August 28, 2015, Jessica Dunbar wrote (empasis mine):
Hi can we freeze any new Joomla installs, subsites or subdomains. Our current websites are grossly under maintained. Out of 29 Joomla installs 7 soon to be 8 are running on the latest version. There is a small team of people who are actively trying to get sites up to date, clean up content, make sure the templates and branding are correct. But new sites are being built faster than we can maintain.
OSM: The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight
So here we are once again. Once again we are promised that the new organizational structure will fix all that is wrong with the Joomla! project. So, what is wrong? Apparently there are some communication and documentation issues between teams. Oh, Okay so what has OSM strong-armed the various teams to agree on? Well, it looks like software development teams will take a back seat to the non-technical people who will likely inhabit the board seats of OSM who will then "guide" the community on to bigger and better things. Wait, what? People like me who don't do software development will tell the developers what to do? Yup! Sounds just like big business doesn't it? Yup! Is that good? Nope!
Not Now - We're Too Busy!
You can picture it can't you? I certainly can. For a number of years now I have been pointing out that OSM fails to provide the Joomla! community with the transparency appropriate for this not-for-profit organization. Even members of the OSM board attempt to remind their colleagues of that duty. As recently as towards the end of last month on the Open Source Matters, Inc. - Public Mailing list Ryan Ozimek OSM Board Member stated:
Board of Director friends, I've seen a lot of great discussions happening on our private mailing list that, while full of beneficial information, really need to be posted on this public list to continue our focus on transparency. Please use this email list by default for all board-wide conversations. Unless it is something that must require privacy to be communicated safely, if it is a board-wide email you're sending, it should be sent here. This is a core tenant of our goal to improve online communications, not just within the Board of Directors, but across the project's growing leadership team. Let me know if you have any concerns
Guess what happened. No discussion ensued at all. Any wonder there is mistrust of the board members of OSM?
Does Hanlon's Razor Apply To OSM?
Hanlon's Razor: Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity, but don't rule out malice
This epigram –usually called Hanlon's razor- is generally credited to either the science fiction writer Robert Heinlein or to a less famous writer named Robert Hanlon.
So, let's talk about what is not happening at OSM once again.

These silver rimmonim were used in the Hambro synagogue, which was founded in 1707. Rimmonim are finials which are used to decorate the Torah to show its importance. It is thought that the rimmonim originate from Amsterdam and date from the late 17th century.
The Hambro was one of the first three Ashkenazi synagogues founded in London following the readmission of the Jews in 1656, serving a growing community of central and eastern European Jews. It was one of the founding synagogues of the United Synagogue, which is still the largest British Jewish religious movement.

Influenced by elements of popular culture such as anime, manga, Walt Disney cartoons, and punk rock, Yoshitomo Nara creates paintings, sculptures, and drawings of adorable-yet-sinister childlike characters. Painted with simple bold lines, primary colors, and set against empty backgrounds, these small children and animals often share the canvas with text, knives, plants, and cardboard boxes, among other recurring elements. As one of the fathers and central figures of the Japanese neo-Pop movement, Nara's work expresses the struggle to find an identity fractured by war, rapid modernization, and an omnipresent visual culture. Nara's sculptures, made primarily from fiberglass, and his drawings on postcards, envelopes, and scraps of paper, further this exploration using the same elegance of line and simple palette as his paintings.

The Miami Dolphins started newly acquired offensive lineman Bryant McKinnie at left tackle in Sunday's game against the New England Patriots.
McKinnie, a 12-year veteran, replaced Jonathan Martin. Martin, the team's 2012 second-round pick, returned to the right tackle spot he started the first 10 games of the 2012 season.
Martin replaces Tyson Clabo, who has allowed eight sacks in his six starts. The last two came in the fourth quarter of Miami's 23-21 loss to the Bills, and led to a fumble that cost the Dolphins the lead.
McKinnie, a former University of Miami standout the Dolphins acquired from Baltimore for a conditional late-round pick this week, practiced on a...

The test null hypothesis is:
H 0 : µ1 = µ2 = µ3,
and the alternative:
H a : at least two of the means are not equal.
Using the ANOVA for Dependent Populations JavaScripts, we obtain the needed information in constructing the following ANOVA table:
Conclusion: The p-value is P= 0.006, indicating a strong evidence against the null hypothesis. The means of the populations are not equal. Here, one may conclude that person who has consumed more than certain level of alcohol commits more driving errors.
A"block design sampling" implies studying more than two dependent populations. For testing the equality of means of more than two populations based on block design sampling, you may use
Butterfly Peas Shallow Mouth Shoes BLACK Shop Offer Online Sale Wide Range Of For Sale Opap06
JavaScript. In the case of having block design data with replications, use Two-Way ANOVA with Replications JavaScript to obtain the needed information for constructing the ANOVA tables.
An Application: Suppose we wish to test the null hypothesis
That is, all three population proportions are almost identical. The sample data from each of the three populations are given in the following table:
The Chi-square statistic is 8.95 with d.f. = (3-1)(3-1) = 4. The p-value is equal to 0.062, indicating that there is moderate evidence against the null hypothesis that the three populations are statistically identical.
You might like to use Testing Proportions to perform this test.
Prior to applying the K-S test it is necessary to arrange each of the two sample observations in a frequency table. The frequency table must have a common classification. Therefore the test is based on the frequency table, which belongs to the family of
Carolina Herrera flower brooch ball gown Buy Cheap Affordable HsFws6
The K-S Test process is as follows:
K-S statistic = D = Maximum | F1 i - F2 i |, for all i = 1, 2, .., k.
The above process is depicted in the following figure.
The critical values of K-S statistic can be found at Computers and Computational Statistics with Applications
An Application: The daily sales of the two subsidiaries of The PC Accessories Company are shown in the following table, with n1 = 44, and n2 = 54:
has a Chi-square distribution with d.f. = k-1. Where i is the count's number, N is its counts, and N = N/k.
One may extend this useful test to where the duration of obtaining the i count is t. Then the above test statistic becomes:
and has a Chi-square distribution with d.f. = k-1, where i is the count's number, N is its counts, and N = N/t.
You might like to use the Compatibility of Multi-Counts JavaScript to check your computations, and to perform some numerical experimentation for a deeper understanding of the concepts.Like any statistical test procedures, the Chi-square based testing must meet certain necessary conditions to apply; otherwise, any obtained conclusion might be wrong or misleading. This is true in particular for using the Chi-square-based test for cross-tabulated data.
Necessary conditions for the Chi-square based tests for crosstable data are:
Suppose the monthly number of accidents reported in a factory in three eight-hour shifts is 1, 7, and 7, respectively. Are the working conditions and the exposure to risk similar for all shifts? Clearly, the answer must be, No they are not. However, applying the goodness-of-fit, at 0.05, under the null hypothesis that there are no differences in the number of accidents in three shifts, one expects 5, 5, and 5 accidents in each shift. The Chi-square test statistic is:
However, since = 5.99, there is no reason to reject that there is no difference, which is a very strange conclusion. What is wrong with this application?
You might like to use this
Prada Diagramme shoulder bag Cheap Sale Wholesale Price Cheap Sneakernews Choice Online Discount Lowest Price Qk3FNwjS
to verify your computation.
: Variation is about the claimed value. : The variation is more than what is claimed, indicating the quality is much lower than expected.
Upon computing the estimated variance S based on n observations, then the statistic:
has a Chi-square distribution with degree of freedom = n - 1. This statistic is then used for testing the above null hypothesis.
You might like to use Testing the Variance JavaScript to check your computations.The equality of variances across populations is called homogeneity of variances or homoscedasticity. Some statistical tests, such as testing equality of the means by the t-test and ANOVA, assume that the data come from populations that have the same variance, even if the test rejects the null hypothesis of equality of population means. If this condition of homogeneity of variance is not met, the statistical test results may not be valid. Heteroscedasticity refers to lack of homogeneity of variances.
is used to test if k samples have equal variances. It compares the
Yuzefi black Asher leather box bag Outlet For Nice Outlet Latest Collections Outlet Original Wholesale Price Syulq3tXJ9
of the group variances to the arithmetic mean; therefore, it is a Chi-square statistic with (k-1) degrees of freedom, where k is the number of categories in the independent variable. The test is sensitive to departures from normality. The sample sizes do not have to be equal but each must be at least 6. Just like the two population t-test, ANOVA can go wrong when the equality of variances condition is not met.
The Bartlett test statistic is designed to test for equality of variances across groups against the alternative that variances are unequal for at least two groups. Formally,
: All variances are almost equal.
The test statistic:
In the above, S is the variance of the ith group, n is the sample size of the i group, k is the number of groups, and S is the pooled variance. The pooled variance is a weighted average of the group variances and is defined as:
You might like to use the Equality of Multi-Variances JavaScript to check your computations, and to perform some numerical experimentation for a deeper understanding of the concepts.
For 3 or more populations, there is a practical rule known as the"Rule of 2". According to this rule, one divides the highest variance of a sample by the lowest variance of the other sample. Given that the sample sizes are almost the same, and the value of this division is less than 2, then, the variations of the populations are almost the same.
Consider the following three random samples from three populations, P1, P2, P3:
With an F = 4.38 and a p-value of 0.023, we reject the null at = 0.05. This is not good news, since ANOVA, like the two-sample t-test, can go wrong when the equality of variances condition is not met.
The Fisher's Z-transformation is a useful tool in the circumstances in which two or more independent correlation coefficients are to be compared simultaneously. To perform such a test one may evaluate the Chi-square statistic:
Where the Fisher Z-transformation is
Under the null hypothesis:
: All correlation coefficients are almost equal.
The test statistic has (k-1) degrees of freedom, where k is the number of populations.
Consider the following correlation coefficients obtained by random sampling form ten independent populations.
Using the above formula -statistic = 19.916, that has a p-value of 0.02. Therefore, there is moderate evidence against the null hypothesis.
In such a case, one may omit a few outliers from the group, then use the Test for Equality of Several Correlation Coefficients JavaScript. Repeat this process until a possible homogeneous sub-group may emerge.
The following contains the main essential steps during modeling and analysis of regression model building, presented in the context of an applied numerical example.
A taxicab company manager believes that the monthly repair costs (Y) of cabs are related to age (X) of the cabs. Five cabs are selected randomly and from their records we obtained the following data: (x, y) = {(2, 2), (3, 5), (4, 7), (5, 10), (6, 11)}.
The first step in constructing a simple linear regression model is to draw a scattered diagram, as shown in the following figure for our numerical example:
The manager of the first branch is claiming that"since the daily sales are random phenomena, my overall performance is as good as the other manager's performance." In other words:
In the five species with 2n = 24, pairs 1, 2, and 8 were metacentric, and pair 3 submetacentric.

Cryptography can be a hard subject to understand. It's full of mathematical proofs. But unless you are actually developing cryptographic systems, much of that complexity is not necessary to understand what is going on at a high level.
If you opened this article hoping to create the next HTTPS protocol, I'm sorry to say that pigeons won't be enough. Otherwise, brew some coffee and enjoy the article.
Any activity you do on the Internet (reading this article, buying stuff on Amazon, uploading cat pictures) comes down to sending and receiving messages to and from a server.
This can be a bit abstract so let's imagine that those messages were delivered by carrier pigeons . I know that this may seem very arbitrary, but trust me HTTPS works the same way, albeit a lot faster.
Also instead of talking about servers, clients and hackers, we will talk about Alice, Bob and Mallory. If this isn't your first time trying to understand cryptographic concepts you will recognize those names, because they are widely used in technical literature.
If Alice wants to send a message to Bob, she attaches the message on the carrier pigeon's leg and sends it to Bob. Bob receives the message, reads it and it's all is good.
But what if Mallory intercepted Alice's pigeon in flight and changed the message? Bob would have no way of knowing that the message that was sent by Alice was modified in transit.
This is how HTTP works. Pretty scary right? I wouldn't send my bank credentials over HTTP and neither should you.
Now what if Alice and Bob are very crafty. They agree that they will write their messages using a secret code. They will shift each letter by 3 positions in the alphabet. For example D → A, E → B, F → C. The plain text message "secret message" would be "pbzobq jbppxdb".
Now if Mallory intercepts the pigeon she won't be able to change the message into something meaningful nor understand what it says, because she doesn't know the code. But Bob can simply apply the code in reverse and decrypt the message where A → D, B → E, C → F. The cipher text "pbzobq jbppxdb" would be decrypted back to "secret message".
This is called symmetric key cryptography , because if you know how to encrypt a message you also know how to decrypt it.
The code I described above is commonly known as the Caesar cipher . In real life, we use fancier and more complex codes, but the main idea is the same.
Symmetric key cryptography is very secure if no one apart from the sender and receiver know what key was used. In the Caesar cipher, the key is an offset of how many letters we shift each letter by. In our example we used an offset of 3, but could have also used 4 or 12.
The issue is that if Alice and Bob don't meet before starting to send messages with the pigeon, they would have no way to establish a key securely. If they send the key in the message itself, Mallory would intercept the message and discover the key. This would allow Mallory to then read or change the message as she wishes before and after Alice and Bob start to encrypt their messages.
This is the typical example of a Man in the Middle Attack and the only way to avoid it is to change the encryption system all together.
So Alice and Bob come up with an even better system. When Bob wants to send Alice a message she will follow the procedure below:
This way Mallory can't change the message by intercepting the pigeon, because she doesn't have the key. The same process is followed when Alice wants to send Bob a message.
Alice and Bob just used what is commonly known as asymmetric key cryptography .It's called asymmetric, because even if you can encrypt a message (lock the box) you can't decrypt it (open a closed box).In technical speech the box is known as the public key and the key to open it is known as the private key .
If you paid attention you may have noticed that we still have a problem. When Bob receives that open box how can he be sure that it came from Alice and that Mallory didn't intercept the pigeon and changed the box with one she has the key to?
Alice decides that she will sign the box, this way when Bob receives the box he checks the signature and knows that it was Alice who sent the box.
Some of you may be thinking, how would Bob identify Alice's signature in the first place? Good question. Alice and Bob had this problem too, so they decided that, instead of Alice signing the box, Ted will sign the box.
Who is Ted? Ted is a very famous, well known and trustworthy guy. Ted gave his signature to everyone and everybody trusts that he will only sign boxes for legitimate people.
Ted will only sign an Alice box if he's sure that the one asking for the signature is Alice. So Mallory cannot get an Alice box signed by Ted on behalf of her as Bob will know that the box is a fraud because Ted only signs boxes for people after verifying their identity.
Ted in technical terms is commonly referred to as a Certification Authority and the browser you are reading this article with comes packaged with the signatures of various Certification Authorities.
So when you connect to a website for the first time you trust its box because you trust Ted and Ted tells you that the box is legitimate.
Alice and Bob now have a reliable system to communicate, but they realize that pigeons carrying boxes are slower than the ones carrying only the message.
They decide that they will use the box method (asymmetric cryptography) only to choose a key to encrypt the message using symmetric cryptography with (remember the Caesar cipher?).
This way they get the best of both worlds. The reliability of asymmetric cryptography and the efficiency of symmetric cryptography.
In the real world there aren't slow pigeons, but nonetheless encrypting messages using asymmetric cryptography is slower than using symmetric cryptography, so we only use it to exchange the encryption keys.
Now you know how HTTPS works and your coffee should also be ready. Go drink it you deserved it 😉
From a quick cheer to a standing ovation, clap to show how much you enjoyed this story.
Until now, successful gene identification by homozygosity mapping has been mostly based on consanguineous kindred that have multiple affected individuals. Close consanguinity of such kindred generate homozygous segments broad enough to be detected by SNP marker sets of low density (e.g., 50 K marker set). The presence of multiple siblings or cousins helps refine the candidate region to fewer cZLR peaks that overlap between affected siblings or cousins. For example, the number of 9, 12 and 10 cZLR peaks in siblings A1538-1, -2, and -3, respectively is reduced to 3, 4, and 5 cZLR peaks if each pair of siblings is evaluated together and to 2 cZLR peaks if all three sibs are evaluated together ( Figure 3 ). However, a severe limitation to successful positional cloning of recessive disease genes by homozygosity mapping lies in the fact that sufficient numbers of consanguineous kindred with multiple affecteds and mutation of the same gene are very hard to ascertain. In our 16-year experience in worldwide recruitment of 1,069 patients with NPHP, non-consanguineous single cases (n = 918) were 6-times as frequent as consanguineous cases (n = 151). In 595 patients with SRNS and mutations in recessive disease-causing genes the ascertainment of non-consanguineous single cases (n = 512) was also about 6-times as high as consanguineous cases (n = 83). Therefore, the ability to employ individuals from outbred populations in homozygosity mapping should greatly accelerate gene discovery.
Another strong limitation to gene identification is imposed by the experience that studies of consanguineous kindred result in segments of homozygosity that are too numerous and too large and contain too many positional candidates for efficient gene identification by mutation analysis. For instance, in our worldwide cohort individuals from consanguineous background had 4–60 cZLR peaks ( Figure 3 ). These homozygous segments contained hundreds of positional candidate genes. Because of both limitations we wanted to evaluate whether gene identification by homozygosity mapping is possible in single individuals from outbred populations. Using a medium resolution SNP marker set (250 K) we were able to detect homozygous segments that contain the disease-causing mutations in single individuals from outbred populations as shown in Figure 3 :
With the exception of 4 families (A1218, A646, F1158, and A825), all other 23 outbred families exhibited 4 or less cZLR peaks ( Figure 3 ). In 2 of the 3 outbred families with 4 cZLR peaks, calculation of both affected individuals together reduced the number of cZLR peak from 4 and 3 cZLR peaks to 2 cZLR peaks (A237) and from 4 and 2 peaks to 1 cZLR peak (F60-61). Four outbred families had 3 cZLR peaks (F138, F456, F50, and F1183). Seven outbred individuals exhibited only 2 cZLR peaks (A762, F53, A1298, A567, A7, F54, and A1338) ( Figure 3 ). In these individuals the cZLR peak that contained the homozygous gene mutation had a median size of 8.3 Mb (range 2.4 - 40.1 Mb) ( Figure 3, insert ).

The Saints kept nine players listed as linebackers when they cut their roster down to 53 players on Saturday and one that has been out of action for the last few weeks could make his return to the field in time to play in the season opener against the Falcons next weekend.
Ramon Antonio Vargas of the Baton Rouge Advocate reports that "there's a possibility" that Jonathan Vilma could be in the lineup for that game. Vilma had arthroscopic knee surgery in the middle of August, adding to a long list of knee troubles throughout his career and raising some concern that he might not be able to return this season.
His recovery is reportedly going well, however, and the Saints obviously thought the chances of that scenario were slim enough to keep Vilma on the active roster as opposed to placing him on injured reserve.
Before Vilma was hurt, he was ticketed for a starting job alongside Curtis Lofton at inside linebacker. David Hawthorne has been filling in for Vilma the last few weeks and would presumably get the start in the event Vilma isn't able to play in Week One.

This year's toys: Furby's been rebooted, Skylanders rules video worldBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
November 22. 2012 10:55PM
Hasbro's furry robotic creature that looks a lot like an owl and speaks its own electronic Furbish language is expected to appear on many kids' wish lists this holiday season.
Furby made millions of kids smile - and many parents crazy - when it was released in 1998 and created a holiday toy frenzy.
The new tech-savvy Furby is even more interactive and has its own app to work with mobile devices.
"We're expecting huge sales from them this year," said Lauren Ashby, executive team leader at the Target store in Bedford where Furby is on sale for $54.
New Hampshire toy retailers say Furby will likely be a top toy-seller this holiday season, but many others are on the list as well.
Tablets like LeapPad 2 and Tabeo are also expected to be snatched up, along with "Skylanders: Giants," the latest video game in the Skylanders series. The "Skylanders: Giants" starter pack regularly sells for $74.99 at Toys 'R Us, but Black Friday sales will drop the price to $49.99.
"It's a big item even when it's not on sale," said Sarah Bonneau, assistant manager of the Toys 'R Us in North Conway.
Bonneau said Monster High dolls will be a hit with the girls. Other dolls likely to make it on Christmas lists this year include the "Time for Your Checkup" doll from Disney's new popular children's series "Doc McStuffins," the Lalaloopsy 12-inch Silly Hair Star doll, and the 1D collector dolls from the popular boy band One Direction, retailers said.
Walmart's hot toy list also includes a Power Wheels Dune Racer ride-on toy and the Razor Pocket Mod Electric Scooter, while must-haves on the 2012 holiday hot toy list released by Toys 'R Us include Nickelodeon's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Secret Sewer Liar playset.
Retailers say Legos are always popular every holiday season at toy stores big and small.
G.Willikers! Toy Shop in Portsmouth expects Legos to disappear from its shelves, but the locally owned downtown store offers many other toys not found in larger retailers that may be just as popular.
Calling his store a place that offers fewer electronics and more "back to basics" items, G.Willikers! owner Bob Breneman said a new fast-paced dice game called Tenzi is selling well and should be a popular game choice this Christmas.
Furby won't be available at Breneman's store, but the EzyRoller foot-powered steel riding machine will be available, along with educational toys like the popular Snap Circuits.
"We try to focus on the things you can't find elsewhere. We try to represent the whole child," Breneman said.
Whirlygigs Toy Store in downtown Exeter has a similar mission. No Furby or Skylanders video games there either, but The Spooner is expected to get scooped up this Christmas.
Whirlygigs owner Geoff Pendexter said The Spooner, a board that can simulate board sports like surfing, snowboarding and skateboarding, has become an instant hit. The board came out in the fall of 2011 and has been a hot item at Whirlygigs.
"It's fun for all ages," Pendexter said.
His son, Mason, 10, loves to practice tricks on The Spooner.
"I think it's cool. I like strolling across the floor," he said as he wobbled back on forth while visiting his dad's toy store Wednesday morning.

This traditional finish can be tricky to apply.
By Bob Flexner

If you have read much in the woodworking press, you've surely encountered many articles, including mine, in which the writer uses and recommends shellac as a finish. This may persuade you to try shellac.
I certainly don't want to discourage you because shellac is a great finish with a great history. But you need to be aware that shellac is a relatively difficult finish to use. The writers recommending shellac are usually advanced woodworkers who have learned to overcome the difficulties.
By pointing out some of the problems, I hope to increase your likelihood of success.

Fifteen years of civil war since 1993, combined with extreme poverty, a fragile political process and recurrent climatic shocks, have had a strongly negative impact on Burundi's economic and nutrition indicators.
Only 28 percent of the population is food-secure and as many as 60 percent are chronically malnourished. Food security for the majority of Burundians has not improved in recent years, despite a gradual return to peace. Average annual food deficits in Burundi range from 350,000 to over 450,000 metric tons (in cereal equivalent and after commercial imports and food assistance) against an annual average requirement of 1,718,000 tons, while food production has stagnated at pre-1993 levels. With a population growth rate of nearly three percent per year, per capita agricultural production has declined by 24 percent since 1993.
As a result, the average per capita production now stands at 1,400 kilocalories per day (the recommended minimum requirement is 2100). Even during harvest season, households spend up to 60 percent of their income on food. Burundi is one of the 'red zone' countries identified by both FAO and WFP as being most affected by soaring food prices. After many years of conflict, the capacity of the government to respond to this new challenge is limited.
Burundi, like much of Central Africa, is also prone to natural disasters. Floods, hailstorms, drought and torrential rain are recurrent in Burundi. In recent years, the country has registered an unusually high amount of natural disasters which contributed to the displacement of communities, the destruction of homes, the disruption of livelihoods and the further deterioration of food and nutrition security. In 2010, WFP assisted over 50,000 vulnerable households that were affected by major drought. Currently, the country is under a La Niña alert, which could affect 1 million people. The UN has established a contingency plan to deal with the effects of La Niña.
The new Country Programme and Protracted Relief and Recovery Programme support a monthly average of 800,000 food-insecure people through the rehabilitation of those suffering from malnutrition, the provision of school meals, food assistance to victims of climatic shocks, and the empowerment of communities to create assets and improve food production. WFP also assists over 20,000 refugees from the DR Congo and around 44,000 returnees and expellees (Burundians without refugee status) from neighbouring countries.
WFP support for refugees continues to be focused in three refugee camps in Burundi where Congolese refugees are assisted with a full ration of 2,100 kcal per day. This support reaches approximately 20,000 refugees per day.
Food-for-Training/Food-for-Assets activities target poor, rural households to increase agricultural production, improve access to markets and support income generating activities. Activities include infrastructure development, rehabilitation of deforested areas, agro-forestry and micro-economic training. These activities reach 350,000 beneficiaries.
WFP School Feeding targets primary schools in food-insecure areas. Hot meals are distributed to school boys and girls in order to encourage attendance, an increased attention span, enrollment and continued attendance. School Feeding is an umbrella concept and encompasses education, nutrition and health activities, also known as the Essential Package for Learning, with critical support from partner agencies FAO and UNICEF. 200,000 children currently receive food assistance under this programme.
Approximately 70,000 pregnant and nursing women who are underweight receive rations for six months before delivery and three months after birth. In addition, more than 7,000 malnourished children under five years of age receive corn-soya blend (CSB) to act as a supplement to a healthy meal. WFP currently offers food assistance to 6,000 HIV/AIDS patients undergoing ARV treatment as well.
WFP also provides food assistance for people in medical and social centres, including orphans, handicapped persons and those chronically ill. WFP gives food assistance to 4,300 beneficiaries.
High food prices have also been making the lives of the poorest even more difficult. WFP recently completed its Urban Response activities which provided food to poor households (mainly children and mothers) in the urban areas of Bujumbura Rural, Gitega and Ngozi in order to mitigate the impact of high fuel and food prices.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – Oklahoma Christian University rose in U.S. News & World Report's latest rankings of the best universities in the western United States, published Tuesday.
Oklahoma Christian is 42nd in the region and second among Oklahoma schools in the "Best Regional Universities" category.
This is the 15th straight year U.S. News & World Report has honored Oklahoma Christian. Last month, the Princeton Review again recognized Oklahoma Christian on its "Best in the West" list.
"OC's reputation as a first-rate university is well-established, but it's gratifying to be recognized for the great things happening here, especially as we make a high-quality Christian education affordable for talented students," President John deSteiguer said.
Institutions that appear in the "Best Regional Universities" category provide a full range of undergraduate majors and master's programs. These universities are ranked against peer institutions in one of four geographic regions because they generally draw students most heavily from the surrounding states.
Almost 60 percent of OC's student body comes from Oklahoma or from neighboring Texas, with significant numbers of students also coming from Kansas, Colorado, California and the Pacific Northwest. Overall, Oklahoma Christian attracts students from all 50 states and almost 50 countries.
The last nine years have featured OC's nine highest enrollments ever, including a record 2,424 students this fall. Oklahoma Christian has more than 30 National Merit Finalists enrolled, the most per capita of all Church of Christ universities.
For the last three years, the cost of attendance for OC undergraduate students has stayed the same, making Oklahoma Christian the only university in the state and the only reporting member of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities that did not raise its total price.
The U.S. News & World Report rankings assess seven broad categories: undergraduate academic reputation, graduation and retention rates, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources, alumni giving, and graduation rates.
Oklahoma Christian offers undergraduate programs in more than 60 fields of study, an undergraduate Honors Program, and graduate programs in accountancy, business, engineering, ministry, and divinity.
The Princeton Review and PC Gamer recently ranked OC's game design program among the top 30 in the nation. OC's chapter of the National History Honor Society has earned national top chapter honors for 17 straight years.
OC's academic reputation is further seen in placement rates at or near 100 percent for accounting, communication design, history, interior design, language and literature, nursing, and political science graduates seeking jobs or acceptance into graduate school and law school.
OC biology graduates have a 95 percent medical and graduate school acceptance rate, and 100 percent of OC Honors Program graduates have been accepted to graduate school the past four years.
Oklahoma Christian is one of just two members of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities with ABET accreditation for three engineering programs. OC boasts the second-highest state education certification exam pass rate in Oklahoma, and is on the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll.

"Yeah, I hear you. We've had some setbacks. But the thing about a quest for the ultimate power in the world is that it's bound to turn out well."
Strengths: Giving Orders, Taming Dwagons, Knowing What He Wants
Weaknesses: Strategy, Critical Thinking, Human Resource Management
First Appearance: TBFGK 2 (Eyebook), TBFGK 4 (in person)
Stanley the Tool (formerly "Stanley the Plaid") is the Ruler of the Plaid tribe. Also referred to by his enemies as Stanley the Worm. He is the founder of the ideology of Toolism.
Toolism is the belief that Royals are clinging to a dead mandate and the true plan of the Titans is for the possessors of the Arkentools. Specifically, Stanley argues that the Titans have a plan for him, and maybe for the rest of the world too, who cares. His worldview is rather shaken when he discovers himself to be in command of a second Arkentool holder, Wanda.
Pop and early turns
Stanley is a nearly perfect example of the Peter Principle. Before the story started, Stanley started out as a piker-class infantry under the command of King Saline IV of the Plaid. He was probably a truly great Piker, because Saline promoted him to the rank of Warlord. He was probably an adequate Warlord, until he found the Arkenhammer, tamed Dwagons, and became an exceptional Warlord. He would probably have failed as a Chief Warlord, without the advice and support he received from Wanda, but with her aid he eventually became Heir Designate to Saline.Erf-b1-p079
Wanda contacted Stanley after hearing he found the Arkenhammer. Together they planned to attack Wanda's kingdom of Faq. Wanda had intended for Stanley to lose the battle so she could claim the Arkenhammer herself, but Stanley ultimately won and sacked the kingdom. Wanda and Faq's Foolamancer, Jack Snipe joined Stanley's side.Erf-b1-p147
At one point, Stanley took a number of the Plaid's casters, Sizemore Rockwell among them, on a special mission of undisclosed purpose; when Stanley's group returned to Gobwin Knob, they found that it had fallen to an attack from the Gobwins breaking their alliance. With the dwagons, casters, and the bonus from the Arkenhammer, Stanley easily retook the city and became the Ruler of Gobwin Knob.Erf-b1-p079 Ansom believed that Stanley orchestrated this rebellion to come to power.Erf-b1-p034
Despite having the Arkenhammer and the assistance of Wanda, Stanley failed utterly as an Overlord, until Wanda eventually managed to summon Parson.
Recent turns
With Wanda's encouragement, Stanley decided to start a quest for the other Arkentools.Erf-b1-p147 The exact intention and course of this campaign is unknown, although it is mentioned that he attacked Transylvito faction, Elves and wiped out the Milquetoast Clan.Erf-b1-p034 He had at least one skirmish with Jetstone.
As a result of the campaign Stanley lost 10 of his 11 cities and all of his leadership corps.Erf-b1-p005
During the quest, an alliance formed with the aim to defeat Stanley, known as the Royal Crown Coalition.
Story: Chapter 1
Due to the croaking of Manpower the Temporary, Stanley needed to choose a new chief warlord. His adviser, Wanda Firebaugh convinced him to summon the perfect warlordErf-b1-p005, who turned out to be Parson GottiErf-b1-p017.
- Stanley managed to make his way from common infantry to Overlord, a very rare career advancement
- He found one of the Arkentools, the Arkenhammer, and was attuned to it
- He used the Arkenhammer to tame dwagons (and crack nuts, which sometimes turned into pigeons)
- He defeated Transylvito Chief Warlord Caesar, knocking him out of the sky and killing his stack of elite doombats in a single hit.
- Since the events in Book One Chapter 1, he has begun to rebuild his Dwagon army.
Sizemore Rockwell
In Book One, Stanley is aware of Sizemore's existence, but cannot be bothered to remember his name. Sizemore seems completely resigned to Stanley's abuse as he is to everything else. He perks up even at the brief acknowledgment Stanley gives him when he returns to Gobwin Knob. Sizemore does give Stanley a much-needed morale boost when he and Maggie remake the city of Gobwin Knob with a heavy Stanley Is The Man influence. Obviously, Stanley has no idea of this.
Wanda Firebaugh
Wanda generally believes Stanley to be a fool, but does believe that he has an important fate. She was subservient and loyal to him - In fact, Wanda was probably the creature Stanley trusted and respected most in the whole Erfworld - but secretly continued to play events to bring her closer to the Pliers.
She has used nookie to manipulate Stanley. This might explain her revealing outfits.
Since Wanda's attunement to the Arkenpliers she seems to be happy to go along with Stanley's orders as long as she can play with her Pliers and her personal army. Stanley feels somewhat insecure about this new balance of power.
Parson Gotti
Stanley is aware that Parson is the "Perfect Warlord", and is therefore capable of defeating vastly superior armies by devising radically innovative strategies. But despite this fact, he is deeply ambivalent about allowing Parson to act as Gobwin Knob's Chief Warlord. He knows he can't predict what Parson will do if he gives him the authority to act, but he suspects that while Parson will achieve victory, that victory will come at a higher price than Stanley wishes to pay. He is deeply unhappy that Wanda became attuned to the Arkenpliers as a consequence of Parson's first victory, and is likely to be even more unhappy if Parson's second victory allows Wanda to take control of most of Stanley's Dwagons. Parson dislikes Stanley, who reminds him of every bad boss he ever had in his old life on Earth. He has almost no respect for Stanley beyond his ability to kill him/get him killed. It was recently revealed in LIAB Text 44 that while Stanley recognizes how good a warlord Parson is, he also believes that were he to recognize subordinates it would cause them to slack in their duties. He does have a few complaints such as how expensive Parson's plans tend to be and the occasional mistakes that result from his inexperience.
Stanley is also struggling with his position. He has often commented that he was happiest when he could go out to tame dwagons, fight battles, rock out, and generally be an active part in the dangers of his side. As an Overlord he must avoid any dangerous active role while his subordinates do all the things he wishes he could do.
Jack Snipe
In Book One, Stanley valued Jack only as a foolamancer but could not be bothered to remember his name. When Stanley attempted to flee to Faq he took Jack to aid in his escape. Stanley became irritated when Jack failed to function properly as a foolamancer. For some reason, Jack seems intensely loyal to Stanley, refusing to turn sides when Jillian attacked Stanley.
Following the battle, Stanley seems to value Jack more, possibly because Jack saved his life in the conflict with Jillian and the ten Warlords of Transylvito. Stanley noted that he was "trying to get better about names", presumably as a result of the problems with Jack, and Jack saving his life in that battle. Stanley now attempts to refer to other units by their names and not their function.
The warlord formerly known as Prince
During Ansom's life the two despised each other. They were ideological opposites. Stanley had respect for Ansom's command ability. Ansom had no kind of respect for Stanley.
After decryption they share an ideology (Stanley's). Stanley seems to genuinely like Ansom now and has great respect for his tactical mind. Ansom is devoted to Stanley, but finds him irritating and can't help, despite his feelings of loyalty, seeing a lot of evidence that suggests that Stanley is an incompetent strategist.
Stanley has a grudge against Charlie and refuses to hire him. The reasons for this have not been revealed beyond that they are "personal." However, Stanley respects Charlie as a fellow attuned wielder of an Arkentool, and has long avoided warring with Charlescomm as a side rather than as a mercenary for this reason.
Charlie does tell Jillian that Croaking Stanley would be a step in the right direction towards a good relationship between their respective sides, which appears to indicate that the hostility is reciporcated.
The name of the Plaid tribe seems to be purposefully homophonic to "played", which would make Stanley's (and his tribe's) original name an indicator of how much of a tool he really is.
The background behind Stanley's rise to power is unclear. At some point, he was appointed heir designate by King Saline IV. Some time after that Stanley left on a special mission taking some casters with him and King Saline IV was croaked by a Gobwin rebellion. The question is why did the Gobwins rebel? Either Stanley orchestrated the rebellion himself or it was planned by someone else. Stanley's lack of strategic thinking make it less likely he worked alone. It is possible that Wanda desired a more easily manipulated ruler and placed Stanley on the throne, perhaps acting in concert with Jack. It may be that Stanley is actually innocent and had nothing to do with King Saline IV's death. This is admittedly just speculation and we will have to wait for more details to emerge.
Battle style
Stanley's preferred style is Rocking Out. He has for this purpose an order of knights who also can dance fight, the Knights in Stanley's Service, who wear makeup and armor reminiscent of real life band KISS, and so far the only song they have been seen rocking out to is indeed a KISS song. This is a well known fact even in the alliance, and the forces of Transylvito prepared themselves for this tactic when they planned the trap in the choke point to FAQ, donning costumes reminiscent of the musical West Side Story and dance fighting to a modified version of the Jet theme song and the song "Cool".
Stanley's attunement to the Arkenhammer is what allows him to Rock Out, a style considered Titanic and superior to mere Dance-Fighting. Before he became Overlord, Stanley won many battles for King Saline IV and is likely a powerful warlord. He defeated Caesar and his stack with a single swing of the Arkenhammer.
Possible Character Development
Stanley has shown some instances of character growth through the story. He may have been humbled somewhat by the events of Book One. His series of defeats and nearly being killed himself seem to have shaken him. Upon his return to Gobwin Knob, Stanley mentioned that he was trying to get better with names. He even acknowledged Sizemore which he had never done before apparently. Stanley surprised Parson when he uncharacteristically apologized and admitted that he had been wrong to flee with the dwagons.
Stanley became very insecure after the Battle for Gobwin Knob. He seemed suspicious and jealous of Wanda and her new decrypted army. He seemed to miss the days when he could lead armies, fight battles and tame dwagons but now he was stuck in the capital while he watched the action from the sidelines. Parson using his bracer works out the odds of Dwagons popping in the minty mountains and sets it up so that Stanley can once again feel useful by taming more Dwagons, possibly two or three a turn.
When Wanda suggested croaking and decrypting Jack in order to conserve the remaining healomancy scrolls, Stanley decided to turn her down. He has begun to feel that Wanda is a little bit out of control and perhaps killing his own troops and decrypting them is a bit heartless. Also he actually admitted to liking Jack, probably for his saving Stanley's life.
Real World References
Stanley Hand Tools are a fairly widely known company of toolmakers ... albeit better known for knives than hammers... In many countries, incl. Austria, Denmark, England & Australia, a "Stanley Knife" is synonymous with a utility knife.
A tie-in is made with Paul Stanley, singer/guitarist of KISS, whose make-up he wears for rocking-out with the Arkenhammer.
In the "Dead Poets' Society", Keating mentions "Stanley 'The Tool' Wilson".
Stanley's Eyebook sound is 'Quack.' 'Quack' is a slang term for an individual who is incompetant or unqualified for his profession (particularly physicians). This may be a reference to Stanley's general incompetance as an Overlord.

I ordered the arduino capable flow meter, and it doesn't work. I spent a few days troubleshooting it, no luck!
I've successfully had the seeed version a while ago, so I'm sure it's not a bad schematic.
The code is the sample code from https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Flow-Meter
The schematic: arduino Digital 2 to the yellow pin (sensor), 5v (via the arduino 5v pin) to the red input (5v), and grounded to the arduino ground. It picks up 0 for all it's readings.

integer out of range for Thinking Sphinx and Postgres
I was running into the error described here,
ERROR: index 'model_name_core': sql_range_query: ERROR: integer out of range
so I re-compiled Postgres with 64 bit support and upgraded to a version of Thinking Sphinx that incorporated the patch (1.4.6), but still no dice. After manually re-running the SQL query Sphinx was using many times, I finally narrowed the problem down to a row with a date set in the year 8, as in 0008. TS generates a SQL statement that extracts the epoch from date column and casts them as INTs, but this should have been cast as something bigger. This was fixed in d9f3df980a6f8441a17b with the
use_64_bit config option, but that's fix isn't available in the 1.x line of TS, and the 2.x line doesn't work with Rails 2.x, so I lose.
The problematic row was erroneous, so I fixed it and that repaired indexing, but I'm still running a potentially buggy version of TS. Ugh.
However, I did learn that
\x enables vertical output in psql, much like
\G does in mysql. Yay.

I forgot to get thin for Paris
22 comments:
Oh Carol..Bear with the bow:) I love that..I smiled out loud..That bracelet is too cute..ReplyDelete
You're going to have a ball:)Does Bear enjoy the new suitcase?
If that's your home..I love it.Replies
I WISH that was my home...Delete
But TOO many suitcases for little ole moi
Bon voyage, chère Carol! And if you ever find the true secret for quickly getting thin for France without giving up everything you love let me know and we will write the book. Not easy as une femme d'un certain âge who will not starve herself for anyone or anything... Somehow I just know you will look fab. Please eat at least one macaron for moi!ReplyDelete
Bows, Bear, and chocolate....what a great post!ReplyDelete
Bon voyage Carol! Dis "Bonjour" a la France pour moi! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)ReplyDelete
Yes -- get out of town ahead of the Frankenstorm! I'll think of you pondering the daily croissant while we batten down the hatches and check our supply of candles and matches.ReplyDelete

it wasn't so hardDelete
I substituted potato chips for crackers
Everyone needs some CRUNCH!
Cheese on potato chips
try it...you'll maybe like it
Have fun Love the big bow for your head--so chic!Look for Pink in Paris for me-haReplyDelete
Wheat Belly, VERY convincing image! You are cocktailesque & macaronesque, for sure! Bear is patientesque...Bon voyage! PS Loving the book that you mentioned in a previous blog, Eat That Frog! But it's much more fun to eat chocolate...ReplyDelete
It wouldn't surprise me a bit if your initial Angelina "research" turned out to be insufficient.....and you had to return time and time again.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the link to the t-shirts! And the mention!
Macarons, chocolat, and Bear (with a bow, no less) - all my favourite things in one post! Have a wonderful trip. I can't wait to read all about it. (Will we see a picture of you wearing the bow??!!)ReplyDelete
I went on line to see the T shirts but there was an announcement that their T shirt manufacture will not be operating until Dec 1. I won't be in the mood then.ReplyDeleteReplies
The macaron T-shirts are very good quality with beautiful colors.
I will check if the store is out completely of stock.
Have fun. Hope you are out of there before the big storm. Sure wish you could find some fun things to do while in Paris. :))) Like I said.. have fun.ReplyDelete
- Aussie Carolyn3:14 PM
Today I just had to write, though, because I SO related to the photo with accompanying caption "I forgot to getReplyDelete
thin for Paris". The only way I would EVER be photographed on a set of scales is if the offending result was
obliterated - that way no-one knows if you're 61 kgs or 89 kgs. Had a good laugh over that.
As to cutting out wheat, my daughter is a firm believer in the benefits of that - trouble is I just LOVE bread.
Enjoy reading your blog,
Cheers from Australia
Carol, Carol, Carol...I have been sans a computer for the past week and as soon as it was repaired and up and going I wanted to check that you had no hiccups with SANDY. So glad you are in dear Pah-ree and doing some awesome "window licking". Oh, man that apartment is gorgeous...yours? and no WHEAT! I hate knowing that because when I cut out the sugars I depend on my breads (scones, boules, and bagels) as my "treats"...guess I got to pump some iron and learn to like running. Have a fabulous time and what a treat for those that get the pleasure of your company.ReplyDelete

A safe and speedy return to activity following a sports injury or an illness depends on early recognition and treatment. Knowing when to see your doctor is an important step in this process. With major injuries or illnesses, there is little doubt about the need to seek medical attention. However, it is much more difficult to know when to seek help if there is no obvious trauma or if the symptoms don't get in the way of playing. Many overuse injuries, such as tendonitis or stress fractures, happen over time and often have subtle symptoms. The result can be a delay in diagnosis and treatment, and delays can lead to a more serious or disabling injury.
Athletes should see a doctor for:
There are 3 types of conditions in which an athlete may need to see a doctor: acute injuries, overuse injuries, and medical illnesses or conditions.
Also, any athlete with a chronic injury or medical condition should see a doctor and be approved to participate in sports. Even if a pre-sport physical is not required, it is a good idea for all athletes to have an annual medical checkup before the sports season begins. This is especially true if there is any history of medical problems, injury, or regular use of medicines, or if there are questions about training.
The following are examples of these 3 conditions, their typical symptoms, and when to check with the doctor.
At first, symptoms are noticeable after vigorous activity. As the condition gets worse, symptoms occur with any activity and, eventually, the symptoms restrict activity.
Headache, disorientation, loss of consciousness*, blurry vision, nausea, memory loss, dizziness, lethargy, agitation, vomiting, fatigue, moodiness
*It is possible to have a concussion without loss of consciousness.

Of course, I could not resist testing the beta...
I have one main question/remark : is the present interface in the kingdom a place holder or the final one ? Because so far, I really feel that a lot of design work has been done in it, but finally has been abandoned (or not been implemented yet)... And actually, it was the thing I was anticipating the most with that new version.
Where did my expectation comes from ?
An interactive map of the kingdom :
This post : http://www.qcfdesign.com/?p=370#more-370
Indeed, everything in the drawing has been placed with care, and every single building has a meaning. However, the way button are placed now, there is absolutely no link made between the wonderful drawing and the character selection. So as a player we are not given hints on the logic of the drawing. Instead of being crucial part of the game such as map of a kingdom and a game interface, it is becomes not much more than some fancy art...
An evolving kingdom :
From the preorder page :
And also the description in the tutorial (we only a few lost lads stopping there). So it is kind of a shock when the first tutorial is finished to see a full town... I really hope that this part will not be abandoned, as the pleasure to see its kingdom grow will definitely become a part of the pleasure.
Apparently in some previous post you mentioned that you have stumbled on some design issues related to that map, but really I hope that these 2 things, having the map as the interface and seeing it evolve as we play, have not been abandoned !
And if you are struggling with some design issues, maybe it could be the place to brainstorm of it, and help you getting us rid of those ugly buttons.
But, well, I reckon : that's the first iteration of the beta. So you might have focused on other things first . So it's a good work lads, and take some rest because last few weeks probably have been incredibly busy.

Sapphire HD 2400 XT Video Card
What are some people thinking? Hundreds of dollars for a video card!? I just want to be able to play one or two DirectX 10 games at realistic resolutions. If this sounds like you, you're probably in the market for an entry level graphics card. Something inexpensive that can still make your games playable is what's most desirable. Will the Sapphire HD 2400XT video card be the solution? Let's go ahead and see how well this entry level card does against some of the lower end and middle performance mainstream cards. How will the card react when pushed to the limit? Join us as we thoroughly test and inspect this video card.
Sapphire is one of ATi's largest and most trusted partners. The company creates innovative products that are high quality and reliable for its customers in various markets. Sapphire continues to strive to be an elite force in the graphics card, motherboard, and multimedia markets.
Closer Look:
I really enjoy the boxes in which Sapphire's video cards are shipped in. They are extremely eye-catching and really make you want to open the box right away to retrieve your item from within. On the front of this box, we have a young man wearing a body suit that is decked out in Sapphire logos. The back of the box boasts the DirectX 10 capability that this HD 2400XT has.
Once you unwrap your card, you'll notice how small it is. Since it is an entry level card, I wasn't really expecting a big card. I then noticed how there was no fan on the video card, only a big heatsink. Also, take a look at the Crossfire connectors, VGA port, S-Video port, and DVI port on the card.
Included with the card is the user manual, HDTV breakout cable, DVI to HDMI converter, DVI to D-Sub converters, and a TV-Out converter. I was suprised to see that there was no driver CD included. Read on to find out why.

National priests' group urges support of fetal pain
Washington, DC- Priests for Life, a national anti-abortion
organization, urges support for the Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act (S 51,
HR 356), which provides that women seeking abortions after 20 weeks of
pregnancy be given information on the baby's ability to feel pain, and the
option to administer pain-relieving medication.
"Women deserve to be informed about what the so-called 'choice' of
abortion does to their babies," said Fr. Frank Pavone, national director of
Priests for Life. "We are appalled at the fact that so many abortionists do not
even consider the fact that a baby feels pain during an abortion."
Priests for Life will inform the nation's priests about this bill and
urge them to activate their parishioners to vigorously support it.

Last week the EUR/USD Forex pair opened at 1.29490 and closed at 1.28370. The USD/JPY opened last week at 79.790 and closed at 84.470.
Over the past year we have seen the U.S. dollar rise and fall, as did the euro and yen. Looking at Japan, we know that when the yen gets to high, their exports suffer and while 50% of Japan's economy may be built on consumers spending in Japan, its lifeblood is its exports. So, we have seen the BOJ take steps to keep the Yen down. This has not been an easy task as the euro is having trouble because of the European debt crisis, and Ben Bernanke keeps up with QE 1-2-3. The Fed knows a weaker dollar helps U.S. exports. The Fed also knows that 70% of the U.S. economy is based upon consumer spending (this is questionable by some). And what about the euro? Well, the largest economy in the Eurozone of course is Germany and they have seen a contraction of manufacturing. If you remember when the euro was up at 1.48000, Germany probably saw a drop in exports. So now we are seeing three of the world's largest economies trying to manage their currencies, however the euro is not just Germany's currency. Germany can push policy in the Eurozone to lower the euro, but unlike Japan and the United States, needs support of the other member countries. The balancing acts by these powers have brought solid opportunities to currency trades worldwide.
Looking at the EUR/USD daily chart, you can see ADX numbers at 19.1 and rising reflecting a weak trend, but DI- is now over DI+ with an increasing DI Differential. MACD is bearish with today's price action pushing MACD below the zero-line of the histogram, and Stochastics are oversold.
On the daily chart of the USD/JPY, you can see ADX at 69.4 reflecting a very strong trend. MACD is bullish but is dropping divergence on today's price action, and Stochastics are overbought.
