They reveal photos of extremely warm ladies and also send you those photos on Whatsapp. You will certainly pick one as well as they will certainly claim 12000 for evening as well as 6000 for a solitary session.
Also the woman is listed below criterion. She's no university trainee or anything, with no English or course, all loaded with make up, rarely 5 ' in elevation as well as not so great or toned body.
Claim NO. They will certainly attempt every little thing to repair the offer. They will certainly state words like - 'Arey sir, university woman hai
My own was a scams so he came down to 7000 an evening. Inspect exactly how his English is on Whatsapp. Scams companion solution suppliers have crap English as well as they dedicate foolish blunders while composing like 'sand image' for send out images and also various other punctuation mistakes.

. Ye us photo wali se bhi badhiya hai. In some way after a great deal of deal the bargain was settled for 5000 rather of 7000 as well as the lady that was resting inside the cars and truck for all this time came out as well as the pander advised her to cover her face and also go with me.
You will certainly scream ki Ladki to will certainly hai nahi jo dikhai thi. They will certainly be immoral adequate to state - arey wahi hai sir ... whatsapp pe photoshop karke dala hai as well as various other bullshit.
Point I examined it had not been the very same woman as they revealed in Whatsapp. They will certainly claim words like - 'Arey sir, university lady hai

Ultimately given that you were all prepared for the large evening as well as currently it appears the strategy has actually been blown off, you will certainly attempt to deal. Ki iska mai 7000 to nahi dunga, max 4000 de sakta hu for the evening. Ye us photo wali se bhi badhiya hai.

Auto Types and Range-Based For Statements in C++11
Two really handy features in C++11 are the range-based for statement and the auto type specifier. The former allows you to iterate over collections using a much more compact form of expression, and the latter takes some of the headache out of the complex type declarations encountered in the standard library. Both of these features have been available in g++ since release 4.6, and are now present in Visual Studio 11, so you can start using them today. (Auto-typed variables are available in earlier versions of both compilers.) In this post I'll give you a description of how these new features work, and show you a concrete example of the positive effects they can have on your programs.

The Value of Containers
It's hard to overstate the value of the containers in the C++ standard library. With the addition of the hash-based containers in TR1, I rarely (if ever) find myself tempted to roll my own or use a third-party library. The flexibility and power of the library created by Alexander Stepanov does everything I need.
Despite the technical merit of the container classes, newcomers are often hesitant about completely embracing them. One of the main reasons has to be the conceptual drag imposed by the use of iterators as the primary means of accessing the objects they contain. It's not that there is anything complicated about the concept, but the syntax can be more than just a little annoying. Let me illustrate this with an example.
The following listing is a C++ program that reads through the Scrabble dictionary and determines which set of letters generates the most anagrams. I'm using C++ circa TR1, in which I have access to the unordered associative containers, but I don't take any shortcuts to try to simplify the syntax. (The fact that I can write this program in one screen of simple code is a nice testament to the quality of the container library.)
The logic for the program is simple. I use an
unordered_multimap called
counts to hold the count of all anagram families in the dictionary, with its key being the sorted value of the Scrabble word. This means that all words that are anagrams of one another will have the same key. I use an
unordered_multimap called
words to hold the list of all words that are anagrams of that key. Each time I process a word, I increment a value in
counts and I add a new value to
After the input processing is done, I can just iterate over
counts from top to bottom, looking for the highest count. When I have gone through the entire map, I have the sorted key that generates the most anagrams. Using that key, I query an
unordered_multimap for a range of results. It returns two iterators in a
pair<T1,T2> object, which I then use to iterate over the result set.
Even if you are familiar with the type system used by the containers and don't make too many mistakes, just the magnitude of how much you have to type to get this to work is a bit of a downer. And the length of those type definitions doesn't help make the concepts being used any clearer.
#include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <string> #include <iterator> #include <algorithm> #include <unordered_map> int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { std::ifstream data( "sowpods.txt" ); std::unordered_map<std::string,int> counts; std::unordered_multimap<std::string,std::string> words; std::string s; while ( data >> s ) { std::string temp = s; std::sort(temp.begin(), temp.end() ); counts[temp]++; words.insert( std::make_pair(temp,s) ); } int max_count = -1; std::string max_string = ""; for ( std::unordered_map<std::string,int>::iterator ii = counts.begin(); ii != counts.end(); ii++ ) { if ( ii->second > max_count ) { max_count = ii->second; max_string = ii->first; } } std::cout << "The maximum anagram family has " << max_count << " members:\n"; std::pair< std::unordered_multimap<std::string,std::string>::iterator, std::unordered_multimap<std::string,std::string>::iterator> range; range = words.equal_range( max_string ); for ( std::unordered_multimap<std::string,std::string>::iterator ii = range.first; ii != range.second; ii++ ) std::cout << ii->second << " "; std::cout << std::endl; return 0; }
Anagram finder circa TR1
Now let's look at the two features that make major improvements to this program in C++11.
The auto Type Specification
The hard-working committee members who hammered out the standard last year clearly listened to the millions of C++ programmers out there. While they were charting new waters for the language with things like move semantics and rvalue references, they were also making a lot of small changes that simply make the language a lot easier to work with. Maybe even a little more fun. The two things I find at the top of my list are the use of auto type specifier and the for-range statement.
auto keyword can be used in a number of different contexts, but in general it means that you can declare variables without having to enter a complete type. This solves some tricky problems for template programming, and it provides a convenience for awkward variable declarations. Most notably, it allows you to replace these two wordy lines of code:
std::pair< std::unordered_multimap<std::string,std::string>::iterator, std::unordered_multimap<std::string,std::string>::iterator> range; range = words.equal_range( max_string );
with this much simpler single line:
auto range = words.equal_range( max_string );
In both cases, the type of
range is the same — but by using the auto type specifier, we let the compiler replace all that typing with a bit of simple hand waving.
Bjarne Stroustrup has a good, concise explanation of auto on his C++11 FAQ, I recommend you take the time to read it.
The Range-Based for Statement
When working with standard library containers, one of the most common things we do is iterate over some or all of the container. This generally is done using a
for or
while loop with an iterator loop variable.
C++11 makes this type of iteration easier with new syntax injected into the
for statement that has been around since 1969. The range-based
for looks like this:
for ( declaration : expression ) statement
In this new statement,
expression can be an initializer list, an array, or an object that implements container semantics. This means that the object returns an iterator-like object from a
begin() and
end() methods, or via a call to
begin() and
end() functions in the current or std namespace.
The variable declaration is either a reference or value of the type of variable held in the container, array, or initializer list. The
for loop is executed from the beginning of the container to the end, with
statement executed once per value returned by the iterator.
Although this is a completely new language feature, I think most C++ programmers will be immediately comfortable with it — it makes those iterations over containers clean and concise.

Jolt Awards 2013: The Best Programmer Libraries, March 26, 2013 The best programmer libraries of the past year
Productivity Award: ComponentOne Ultimate
ComponentOne has been a long-time vendor in the third-party tools and SDK market for Windows developers. The company is a perpetual finalist in this (and other) categories due to the quality of implementation of its offerings.
This year's version of ComponentOne Ultimate is no exception. It offers widgets and controls for WinForms, WPF, Silverlight, Windows Phone, WinRT XAML, WinJS, and the Compact Framework. It also includes components for HTML5 cum JavaScript, ASP.NET WebForms, and the iPhone. Android is the only notable absence.
In addition to these controls, the Ultimate edition includes OLAP data analysis tools (see image). These provide functionality equivalent to Excel pivot tables and pivot charts, which enable you to deliver apps that include analysis the data presentation.
Two utilities round out the package: DocToHelp, which takes documents written in Microsoft Word, HTML, or WinHelp and transforms them in PDF, ePub, SharePoint Wiki markup, WinHelp, or other formats. The other utility is DemoWorks, which enables you to capture screens (either static or video) and save them as Flash, WMV, animated GIF, AVI, or an executable file. The built-in editor enables frame by frame editing, and narration can be added.

Renal (kidney) failure, is the inability of the kidneys to perform their normal functions. The kidneys are 2 bean-shaped organs on either side of the spine in the lower back. Their main functions are to remove waste from the body and to balance the water and mineral content of the blood by filtering waste, minerals, and water. The waste and water combine to form urine.
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a permanent condition in which the kidneys are no longer able to filter waste from the blood. As the wastes build up, the tiny filters (nephrons) in the kidneys continue to lose their filtering ability. Although damage to the nephrons may occur suddenly after an injury or poisoning, many kidney diseases take years or decades to cause noticeable damage. ESRD is generally diagnosed when kidney function drops to 10% of normal. The 2 most common causes of ESRD are:
- Diabetes—the nephrons are damaged by chronically high blood sugar levels that occur in poorly controlled diabetes
- High blood pressure—causes damage to the blood vessels in the kidneys
End-stage renal disease can lead to anemia, high blood pressure, bone disorders, heart failure, and mental confusion.What are the risk factors for end-stage renal disease?What are the symptoms of end-stage renal disease?How is end-stage renal disease diagnosed?What are the treatments for end-stage renal disease?Are there screening tests for end-stage renal disease?How can I reduce my risk of end-stage renal disease?What questions should I ask my doctor?What is it like to live with end-stage renal disease?Where can I get more information about end-stage renal disease?

Whither F#?
I really did entertain some slender hopes that F#'s release would lead to wider adoption of functional programming. The benefits of the functional approach are appealing enough on many levels that, I hoped, some developers would be willing to go through the necessary mind bend to avail themselves of the goodies. As far as I can tell (and there is not a whole lot of evidence to go on), this has not happened. F# intrigued a few programmers who kicked the tires and then went back to their regular work. This is rather like what Haskell did a year earlier, when it was the dernier cri on Reddit and other programming community boards before sinking back into its previous status as an unusual curio. The year before that, Erlang underwent much the same cycle.
For a long while, I have shared the opinion of many analysts that functional programming is just too much of a divergence from regular programming. That is, starting from a dead stop and jumping into a new language and a new paradigm was too much to ask; and the high price of admission would keep functional programming from ever truly breaking out. But Scala in good part solved this problem by being a multi-paradigm idiom. This means that it allows developers to learn the language inside the OO metaphor they already know, and then branch out into the functional way of life in small steps. To my eye, however, even Scala has not made it happen. Despite considerable enthusiasm for the language, almost all the Scala code I see is straight procedural code with no trace of functional coloring.
So, if it's not the language, then what is the problem? To my eye, it's the lack of demonstrable benefit for business solutions — which is where most of us live and work. Erlang, which is probably the closest to showing business benefits across a wide swath of business domains, is still a mostly server-side solution. And most server-side developers know and understand the problems they face. The extra lift of actors and a new VM platform don't have much appeal, because the existing tools are good enough. Add the complexity of rewiring their thinking for the functional paradigm, and there is virtually no appeal at all.
This is the nub of the problem. Functional programming cannot show enough lift in business areas to find itself taken up in preference to conventional solutions. As a result, it remains niche-bound, locked inside small problem domains in which its unique attributes can demonstrably shine.
One event that might well push it into the mainstream is the advent of truly many core processors (more than 16 cores, for example). At that point, the processor will force upon developers the need to think in new ways to unlock the performance potential the silicon promises. Then, the need to move beyond the current parallel models and adopt one that reduces side effects may become a requirement. At that point, functional programming will have a real story to tell. If this comes to pass, it'll happen soon, I expect. And with F#, Microsoft developers will have a ready tool.

Borderlands 2 producer promises level cap increase
Borderlands 2 is getting a level cap increase for 'quite a few levels,' says associate producer James Lopez.
If you've been playing through Borderlands 2 on True Vault Hunter mode, playing each downloadable expansion to completion, and taking on raid bosses, chances are you've already hit the level 50 cap. We're about due for an increase, and Gearbox associate producer James Lopez has stated that one is on the way -- possibly very soon.
"We do have one planned, and it will be for quite a few levels which will allow you play for quite a bit longer," Lopez told Official PlayStation Magazine. "We also have a plan for Q1." It's unclear if Lopez means that the level cap increase will come in Q1, which would mean it's due by March, or if the increase would come later and other plans are in the works for this quarter. Shacknews has contacted Gearbox to clarify.
Lopez says that the Shift system gives the developer better insight about how players are progressing than judging by achievements and base its content on that feedback. "We wanted to give people enough time to get at least one level 50 in there, and then see from there, how many people are doing this," he said. "Is this a good time for this? We also didn't want to wait so long that people were no longer interested, or felt like it wasn't coming."
The game's latest piece of downloadable content, Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt, came out this week. Check out my impressions for more details.
Steve Watts posted a new article, Borderlands 2 producer promises level cap increase.

For those of you who are going to see it very soon, here are some posts you might find interesting:
- Official Jaane Tu website and Producer's notes
- 10 Ka Dum promo featuring Aamir Khan and Imran Khan
- My music review with song lyrics, translations, and trailers
- The music launch at Shammi Kapoor's home
- Much more, including all trailers at jaanetu.com
Here is an interesting interview with Genelia D'Souza, in which she appears rather sensible and honest:
Thank you Buzz18 for the video
Here is part of the latest cover of CineBlitz, courtesy this link. Aamir and Imran were also present at Rajiv Masand's show at the CNN-IBN studios. Here is a preview. Watch the episode at these links: Part 1 | Part 2.
The Premiere
Check out this wonderful picture gallery of the premiere of the film. It's great to see so many actors present, including Salman Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Kabir Bedi, Tabu, Dia Mirza, Jiah Khan, Sridevi, Sonam Kapoor, Pooja Bedi, and many, many more. Here is an excellent video from the premiere (watch out for spoilers toward the end).
Of course, this -- from the picture gallery noted above -- is a good thing (I like Mr. Bachchan's tie):
Here is what Mr. Bachchan said on the film, as noted in this post at his blog:
'Jaane tu…' is a wonderful sweet film; refreshing and filled with talent that is young and relaxed. There simply is no effort that can be noticed on any actor in trying to project that they are acting. Everyone so confident and cool; if I may borrow the colloquial.
The narration of the script is novel and different. The writing is 'now' and the atmosphere young and generation next. Imran and Genelia are delightful. For Imran it certainly does not look like the first film and Genelia has the most expressive eyes and face. Such a strange coincidence. She came in front of the ca mera in her early years for the first time in an advertisement she did along with me. It was the Parker Pen add., one of the earliest ones.
And finally
Promised to release this earlier, hence this note: The quality of visitors to a blog matters way more than the quantity, but I've had a little over 40 thousand visits since the Jaane Tu soundtrack released on May 22, the overwhelming majority of who were interested in the film and its songs. There seems to be some curiosity for the film out there! And if the music getting that many visitors to my little piece of real estate on the internet is anything to go by, the film should do quite well.
A big thank you to those who have taken time to write, adding so much to the discussions!
It's finally here. Quite confident it was worth the wait...
Addendum 7/15/2008:
Reader Prochy has put together this excellent montage of Imran Khan, and was kind enough to share it. This also contains pictures featuring several members of the the Jaane Tu team, and is made even better because of a fabulous song! Play this video:
Addendum 7/19/2008:
And there's even one with the lovely Genelia D'Souza!
Thank you Prochy!

Yours truly has not had time to bake.
But if I did? I'd whip up this moist and tender beauty of a cake. One of our family's favorites- from the archives, back in our New England days. I am sharing it a tad early this year. Just because.
Today it snowed. Our first snow of the season. After photographing the backyard oak and apple branches dusted in sugary white like some fairy confection I thought of James Taylor's line in Sweet Baby James. The Berkshires seemed dream-like on account of that frosting. And I decided to bake a cake. With cinnamon.

I tried to whistle my way back to the house, to pierce the soft silence that only snowfall can bring, but I am not gifted in whistling.
A crow swung low overhead and cawed, unimpressed with my feeble tune.
Karina's Maple Frosted Pumpkin Cake Recipe
By Karina Allrich December 2005.This cinnamon laced pumpkin cake is so moist and delicious, you'll never believe it's gluten-free. (The recipe is inherently dairy-free- except for the frosting. See notes below to keep the icing GF/CF.)
3 extra large organic free-range eggs
2 cups organic light brown sugar, not packed
1/2 cup light olive oil
1 15-oz can cooked pumpkin
2 teaspoons bourbon vanilla extract
2 cups gluten-free flour mix* see notes
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon gluten-free Pumpkin Pie Spice
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a 10 x 13" baking pan with greased parchment paper.
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a 10 x 13" baking pan with greased parchment paper.
Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl till light and frothy; add the brown sugar, beat till smooth; add the oil, pumpkin, and vanilla; beat to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (the GF flour mix through sea salt). Add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture a little at a time and beat to combine- for two minutes.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake in a pre-heated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cake is firm and a wooden pick inserted into the center emerges clean.
Cool on a wire rack while you make your frosting.
Maple Cream Cheese Icing:
8 oz. softened cream cheese or vegan cream cheese
3-4 tablespoons softened unsalted butter or vegan margarine
3 to 4 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons bourbon vanilla extract
3 cups GF powdered sugar (more, if needed)
Beat until the cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add 3 tablespoons of the maple syrup, and vanilla. Add in the powdered sugar a cup at a time; beat till smooth. Add another tablespoon maple syrup, if needed. Add more sugar, if needed.
When the cake is cool, frost with the Maple Cream Cheese Icing. Sprinkle with finely chopped pecans or walnuts, if desired. For nut-free, skip the nuts.
Yields 15 pieces.
Store cake chilled. Wrap and freeze leftovers after 2 days for best taste and texture.

Karina's Notes:
My GF flour mix changes from recipe to recipe. For this cake I used my standard baking mix - 1 cup sorghum flour (or brown rice flour) + 1/2 cup buckwheat flour + 1/4 cup tapioca starch + 1/4 cup quinoa flour. Quinoa flour has a strong, nutty taste that compliments pumpkin and spice. Almond flour also works well instead of the quinoa flour. [See comments below for more discussion on baking with various flours.]
In the beginning of my gluten-free journey- starting way back in 2001- I often used Pamela's Ultimate Baking & Pancake Mix as my all-purpose GF flour mix. It works well in this recipe. I used a simple vanilla icing, and sprinkled sweetened flaked coconut on top.
To make sweets for future treats: This pumpkin cake freezes quite well. I place the whole frosted cake into the freezer for about 20 - 30 minutes before slicing and wrapping individual pieces (this chills the frosting a bit so it doesn't stick as you slice and wrap). I store the wrapped pieces in a zip-sealed freezer bag.
To keep this scrumptious cake dairy-free use dairy-free frosting or vegan cream cheese and buttery spread, or organic coconut oil, or Spectrum Organic Shortening; and add an extra teaspoon or two of vanilla extract.
Reader Christine reports she made this recipe as cupcakes- with much success. She said it took about 20 minutes for the cupcakes to bake.
Enjoy sugary treats in moderation.

It can be as simple as a fresh coat of paint or as extensive as a full-on renovation, but changing up a room can breathe new life into a home. If your living space is in need of some updating, have a look at these Before and After photos for ideas—and for the inspiration to make it happen.
Bethenny Frankel's Fabulous Remodel
Red-orange—the favorite color of homeowner Bethenny Frankel and a signature accent of her Skinnygirl line—can be found throughout the interiors of her New York City apartment.
See the before image of this room on the next slide.
Frankel's empty living room was bare before the "Gomez Girls" (as Bethenny calls the designers) brought it to life.
See another angle of the living room on the next slide.
A starburst chandelier from Bethenny's inspiration book was the starting point for her apartment's designs. The Gomez Girls' signature style—neutral tones in comfortable, contemporary settings—is evident in the cream-and-beige living room.

BEFORE Living Room
The original family room in Ellen Conley's home, and the new, enlarged one share the same ceiling height, but the similarities end there.
AFTER Living Room
The antique fireplace (circa 1740) is a stunning focal point in the living room. The room's new iron lamps, chandelier, and metal coffee tables are all from Formations. Salvaged ceiling beams add architectural interest. "I used beams in a gridwork that worked with the style of the doors and fireplace," explains architect Donald Lococo.

When the Cumminses purchased their Atlanta home, the '80s-era interior didn't match Debbie's vision for the classic colonial.
AFTER Living Room
The living room's yellow walls were lightened up with white paint, while an antique red rug provides color underfoot. The Hancock & Moore ottoman invites cozy gatherings around the fireplace. Trim added to the existing mantel makes it taller and more substantial.

BEFORE Living Room
The old living room in Susan Brunn's Minnesota ranch house had an outdated picture window.
AFTER Living Room
A fireplace flanked by windows replaced the existing picture window. The new living room opens up to the kitchen and, thanks to the addition of French doors, the blacony overlooking the swimming pool. Sofas are from Hickory Chair, and a wood-and-iron coffee table is from Formations through Holly Hunt. The Tamarian carpet is through Woven Arts.

BEFORE Living Room
The original living room of the 200-year-old Federal style home was full of busy patterns and distracting structural elements.
AFTER Living Room
Daffodil-hued walls offer a warm foil for a collection of 19th-century American paintings. Asian elements, including a scallop-edged chinoiserie coffee table, add to the modern sensibility. The au courant avocado hue of the linen slipper chairs is repeated on lamps flanking the sofa. A gold-leaf reproduction breakfront adds architectural presence.

BEFORE Living Room
Thuy Tranthi and Mitch Rieder's 1980s house was full of potential and devoid of character. "It had a very open layout, high ceilings, and lots of windows looking out onto this amazing bucolic setting. The structure itself was sound," says Thuy. What was needed was character—and interior designer Eric Lysdahl.
AFTER Living Room
Both avid readers, Thuy and Mitch agreed they needed the living room to function as a library. "When Mitch and I got together, we didn't have the usual couple's difficulty of sharing closet space," says Thuy. "Our challenge was sharing library space." To give them the library they needed, Lysdahl used old Cuban mahogany paneling reclaimed from a 19th-century Connecticut estate to transform the long white rectangle of a living room into a library/living room. The character that was previously lacking Lysdahl added back with the addition of architectural features, including the interior moldings, millwork, and ceiling details.
Another view of the living room/library is on the next slide.
The beautiful old mahogany in the living room/library was outfitted with enough shelves to accommodate both homeowners' books. "Eric also created conversation areas and included a writing desk so that we can use the room every day as both a library and a living area," explains Thuy. "We didn't want a formal room behind closed doors that would only be used when we had guests."

Prior to the renovation of his Maryland townhome, Loi Thai's living room was dated and dark—the result of being attached to another unit.

There were a lot of dead areas and wasted space in this Real Housewives apartment before the remodel.
AFTER Living Room
The new living room design recalls Art Moderne style. A fake fireplace in the previous living room was discarded and replaced with a beautiful cabinet that conceals the TV. A U-shape velvet sectional increases seating and reaps big benefits for the couple—who love to entertain. Designer Brad Boles selected the room's wall color based on the most flattering colors in Jill's wardrobe.

BEFORE Living Room
The pre-renovation living room was dark and plain.
AFTER Living Room
Designer Timothy Corrigan added raised panels on the living room walls and had them painted in subtly varied shades of cream. "We installed the paneling because we wanted the room to feel more substantial," he explains. "And it looks authentic and original." The ceiling was dressed with a plaster fretwork and the fireplace surround given French appeal. Curvaceous Avery Boardman sofas face a shagreen-and-cast-bronze coffee table designed by Corrigan.

BEFORE Living Room
This dark, barnlike vacation home had an outdated living room.
AFTER Living Room
The cavernous room was instantly lightened by removing the too-rustic stone fireplace. Now, an elegant paneled fireplace surround with a limestone hearth is more fitting of a summer home. Closing the room overlooking the living area also helped tame the open space. Hefty furnishings anchor the room; O. Henry House sofas and chairs are grouped around a Ralph Lauren cocktail table.

Alison Macheras inherited her posh Manhattan apartment (along with everything in it) from her grandmother, but it needed a little refreshing.

Four heirloom Florentine silver-gilded candlestick lamps were refreshed with more modern pyramid silk shades. Refinished floors sans rugs let the wood shine. Matisse's watercolor-and-ink "Odalisque" hangs above the fireplace.

Ice-blue walls act as a counterpoint to the warm wood of case goods and original parquet floors. Dark taupe-and-white Chinese toile curtains lend a traditional spin to a not-so-traditional mix of furnishings. Vintage pieces mix with contemporary from Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams in the living room. Drapery fabric is from Duralee.

Before, exposed wood beams had an English essence, but the room was a bit dark and in need of good color.
AFTER Living Room
Homeowner Norm Wogan ushered in light and improved proportions by adding leaded-glass French doors. Draperies at the doors add lushness with fabric from S. Harris. An Oushak rug and wing chairs in distressed Old World Weavers velvet increase coziness. A Biedermeier box is centered on a 19th-century English round table.

Boxy rooms and small proportions were passable when this Maryland home was just a summer retreat, but they no longer sufficed when the home became a permanent residence.
AFTER Living Room
Sliding glass doors in the living room let in more light and allow the room to expand to include the screened porch in warmer months. Interior designer Kelley Proxmire selected indoor/outdoor fabrics for the living room, then created interest by using florals, stripes, and contrasting piping and trim to twist the tried-and-true color scheme. Covered in a Manuel Canovas solid cotton fabric, Brunschwig & Fils chairs in front of the fireplace circle a Charles Stewart ottoman where the kids play board games. The striped ottoman fabric is from Schumacher, and the rug is from Stark Carpet.

"Blue-and-white isn't original, but it translates so beautifully," says Proxmire. "We played with scale on the fabrics and used mitered stripes so this version of blue-and-white would have its own signature." Furniture frames boast dark wood tones, a contrast to the crisp white woodwork and furniture in other main-level areas.

To better accommodate a family of six, a Houston home needed a change of space.
AFTER Living Room
The living room sets the home's simple-yet-elegant tone. The previously dark walls were lightened with custom Benjamin Moore paint. Two small-scale needlepoint chairs discovered at a Paris flea market sit by the windows. "These chairs just called to us," says homeowner Mary Lynn. "When we found them, we didn't know where they were going to go, but we knew we had to have them. The colors are so beautiful and easy on the eyes. They set the tone for the house."
Another look at the living room is on the next slide.
Unhibited by rugs, the living room has an air of simplicity. Clean-lined linen sofas and reclaimed oak floors add to the simplicity, while lending a provocative contrast to the fanciful silk curtains. A weathered mirror and a patinated console offset the room's otherwise sleek characteristic.

Summertime is for relaxing to anyone other than gold prices
The economic data continue to vary sharply influencing gold prices for better or worse. The weak dollar, instability in Greece and other events are among the main factors impacting today's gold prices, nonetheless the main one remains unsolved – investors still wait for the Fed's decision on rate hike.
It is worth mentioning that in the beginning of the year the yellow metal showed a good level, given the prices reached a figure above the level of $1300 per ounce in February. However, in the course of time the prices dropped. In general, the price decreased by 5% the last year, the main reason of which were expectations about the interest rate hike.
The expectations of this increase of interest rates, together with the positive U.S. economic data recently released is pushing the dollar up, which at the moment is trading 20% more than the main world currencies in the last year. Not just the U.S expect this rise or not, lately the Australian investment bank Macquarie reported the possible outcome of the bank's data if interest rates are increased by the end of June.
The Australian bank assumes that the best option for now would be to act depending on the real situation, which is in fact low interest rates and stable demand for gold in developing countries. Some experts assume that these factors are and will be leading gold price up in 2015 and 2016.

The open source GNOME desktop project reaches version 3.10 this month with a significant update featuring new applications, enhancements, and bug fixes.
For developers, there are new GTK widgets, a geo-location framework that will allow location-aware applications, and the ability to define composite widgets using XML.
NOTE: Pronounced "gah-NOHM", GNOME stands for GNU Network Object Model Environment.
The Linux-based GNOME graphical user interface and applications now feature experimental Wayland support — Wayland is intended to be a "simpler replacement" for X (i.e., easier to develop and maintain). Wayland is a protocol for a compositor to talk to its clients as well as a C library implementation of that protocol.
Other highlights for GNOME 3.10 include a reworked system status area, which gives a more focused overview of your system; three new applications (which are technology previews): Maps, Music, and Software; and three new additions to the core set of GNOME applications: Notes, Photos, and Weather.
Also included are new geolocation features, such as automatic time zones and world clocks; the ability to set a custom image on the lock screen; and high-resolution display support.
According to the GNOME Foundation, "Users will see many changes in this release which allows greater customization than in previous releases, such as the ability to customize the background of the lock screen. Other changes include allowing app browsing using pagination instead of scrolling, fine scrolling in applications with precise movements, an enhanced and redesigned login screen, and improvements to user settings. Finally, the system status menu has been redesigned by consolidating many of the smaller menus including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, sound, brightness, and power into a single drop-down menu providing quick easy access to all."

Activity Badge
The Webelos Citizen Activity Badge is one of 20 different Activity Badges that can be earned in the Webelos Scout Program. The requirements are typically worked on during den meetings or den activities while the skills are practiced at home, with the help of the Webelos Scout's family. The requirements are either completed with the den or at home with the den leader's approval. Projects are brought to meetings to share with the den and for Webelos Den Leader or Activity Badge Counselor approval.

In October 2012, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) chose the Keccak algorithm as the new SHA-3 standard. Keccak offers many benefits, such as performance and good resistance traits. In this article, I take a concise look at Keccak's workings. I examine its engine and see how it renders the message text into a hash. In addition, I compare Keccak against SHA-1 and SHA-2 using four standard tests.
Readers should have a working knowledge of C and Objective-C, and a very basic understanding of encryption.
Limitations of SHA-1 and SHA-2
A notable problem with SHA-1 and SHA-2 is that they both use the same engine, called Merkle-Damgard, to process message text. This meansthat a successful attack on SHA-1 becomes a potential threat on SHA-2.
Consider SHA-1 for instance. A brute force attack usually takes at least 280 rounds (a round is a single cycle of transformation of the interim hash value) to find a collision in a full-round SHA-1. But in February 2005, Xiaoyun Wang and colleagues used a differential path attack to break a full-round SHA-1, and it took only 269 cycles to succeed. That same attack was later corroborated by Martin Cochran in August 2008.
In 2012, Mark Stevens used a series of cloud servers to perform a differential path attack on SHA-1. His attack produced a near-collision after 258.5 cycles. He also estimated a modified attack can manage a full-collision after 261 cycles.
As to SHA-2, the only successful attacks were those against a limited round SHA-2 hash. The most effective attack was against a 46-round SHA-2 (512-bit variant) and against a 41-round SHA-2 (256-bit variant). It took 2253.6 cycles to break the 256-bit variant and 2511.5 cycles for the 512-bit variant.
The fact remains that, while no successful attacks against a full-round SHA-2 have been announced, there is no doubt that attack mechanisms are being developed in private. This is one reason why NIST sponsored the SHA-3 competition, which led to the development and recent adoption of Keccak.
The Road to SHA-3
To be considered for the SHA-3 standard, candidate hash functions had to meet four conditions set by NIST. If a candidate failed to meet these conditions, it was disqualified:
- The candidate hash function had to perform well regardless of implementation. It should expend minimal resources even when hashing large amounts of message text. Many proposed candidates were actually unable to meet this requirement.
- The candidate function had to be conservative about security. It should withstand known attacks, while maintaining a large safety factor. It should emit the same four hash sizes as SHA-2 (224-, 256-, 384-, or 512-bits wide), but be able to supply longer hash sizes if need be.
- The candidate function had to be subjected to cryptanalysis. Both source code and analytical results were made public for interested third-parties to review and comment. Any weaknesses found during analysis were to be addressed, through tweaks or through redesign.
- The candidate function had to exercise code diversity. It could not use the Merkle-Damgard engine to produce the message hash.
The SHA-3 competition saw 51 candidate functions enter the first round of evaluations. Out of those, 14 managed to advance to the second round. Round three saw the candidates whittled down to five. And from those five, Keccak was declared the winner.
Introducing Keccak
The Keccak algorithm (pronounced "ket-chak") is the work of Guido Bertoni, Joan Daemen, Michael Peters, and Giles Van Assche. It was submitted as an SHA-3 candidate in October 2008.
Keccak uses an innovative "sponge engine" to hash the message text. It is fast, with a reported average speed of 12.5 cycles per byte on an Intel Core 2 processor. Its simple design lends well to hardware implementation.
Keccak can resists known attacks with a minimum complexity of 2
n, where
n is the hash size. It has a wide safety margin. To date, third-party cryptanalysis has shown no serious weaknesses in Keccak. Nevertheless, Keccak's creators have started the Crunchy Crypto Contest, challenging others to find and report successful and verifiable attacks on Keccak.
Digging into Keccak
At the time of writing, NIST has yet to publish the official document for SHA-3 (FIPS 180-5). Thus, the following information is gleaned from Keccak's reference document and from third-party sources.
There are three parts to the Keccak algorithm (Figure 1).
Figure 1: Basic blocks of the Keccak hash function.
The function
Hash() serves as the entry function. It takes four input arguments: the hash size (
n) in bits, the message text (
M) and its size (
N) in bits, and a hash variable (
H). The hash variable must be created using the library function
malloc() as follows:
HashReturn E; char *H; n = 224; H = (char *)malloc(sizeof(char) * n / 8); //... E = Hash(n, M, N, H);
Init() function prepares the internal state (
S) for the given hash size. The
Update() function starts the compression or absorb phase. This is where the message text is combined with the internal state, then permutated. The
Final() function starts the extraction or squeeze phase. This is where bits from the internal state are extracted and assembled to form the hash value. The first
n bits of the assembled hash then serves as the message hash. All four functions return an error result. A zero result means a function completed its task without errors.

The many benefits of property styling include –
Well informed selections. Jim's Interior Design offers modern, on trend décor, pieces and entire home staging packages curated by top Melbourne Interior Stylists.
Appeal to a target demographic. The property may be perfect for a first home owner so why not present it in that light. A first home owner is looking for something bright with enough space to do what they want to do. They don't want to feel cramped or cluttered and they want the décor and furniture to speak to them – young, clean and modern.
Fill an empty home. The property may have been rented out previously or perhaps it is a deceased estate. Whatever the scenario, buyers want to be able to see the potential in a home – warm and welcoming with a bit of character and history.
First impressions last. If you can create something really special in the first 30 seconds after someone walks through the door then you're on to a good and lasting relationship with that potential buyer.
Stand out from the crowd. You only need to have a look at realestate.com.au to see just how much property is being bought and sold in Melbourne every week. Make your property stand out by adding a bit of luxe.
Attract competition. Stunning photos of a beautifully staged home on Australia's top real estate sites will no doubt create a buzz and some stiff competition amongst potential buyers.
The end game – boost your sale price. Australian studies by the Institute of Home Staging have reported that property styling can add 7 – 17% to your property sale price. What could you possibly lose?
Tips on Planning to Sell your HomeWhen planning to sell your home, you'll need to get a lot of ducks in a row. It's kind of why moving home is up there among life's most stressful events. Planning will set you up to make the most of your sale, ensure that you are well inform...

Microsoft digs into its deep pockets to snatch up Skype
The Wall Street Journal reported earlier tonightthat Microsoft was in talks to purchase VoIP company Skype for between $7 billion and $8 billion. Kara Swisher just recently confirmed the acquisition in her BoomTowncolumn, starting that the deal is worth an estimated $8.5 billion.
Earlier reports stated that Google and Facebook were duking it out to get a piece of Skype, but in the end Steve Ballmer and Microsoft's huge chest of cash put an end to those discussions. The earlier reports also pointed to a Skype valuation of $3 to $4 billion, so Microsoft's $8.5 billion purchase price hopefully will bring a hefty ROI.
For those keeping score, eBay bought Skypein 2005 for $2.5 billion. Four years later, eBay sold a 65% stake in the company for $1.9 billion.
The first beta of Skype was introduced in 2003, and as of December 2010, it had over 663 million registered users. The average number of monthly connected users is much lower, however, at 145 million. And when it comes to users that actually pay for the service, the numbers drop down to just 8.8 million.
Registered users can make Skype-to-Skype calls and one-to-one video calls for free. Users can make Skype-to-phone calls at a rate of 2.3 cents/minute. Skype also offers subscription plans at a rate of 1.2 cents/minute.
We'll have to wait a few more hours until we get all the juicy details on Microsoft's latest acquisition, but we're betting that the boys from Redmond plan on tightly integrating Skype with Windows Phone 7 to better compete with Google Voice.
Updated 5/11/2011 @ 8:34am
Well, the news is now official. Microsoft just announced that it is acquiring Skype for $8.5 billion in cash. Microsoft says that Skype will bolster its "existing portfolio of real-time communications products and services."
As expected, Skype will be tightly integrated into the Xbox 360 and Windows Phone 7 platform. Microsoft is also creating a new business division called the Microsoft Skype Division, which will be headed by Skype CEO Tony Bates (he will report directly to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer).
"Skype is a phenomenal service that is loved by millions of people around the world," said Ballmer. "Together we will create the future of real-time communications so people can easily stay connected to family, friends, clients and colleagues anywhere in the world."
"Microsoft and Skype share the vision of bringing software innovation and products to our customers," said Bates. "Together, we will be able to accelerate Skype's plans to extend our global community and introduce new ways for everyone to communicate and collaborate."

Hydrostatic pressure test pumps are common procedure used to check fluid pressure vessel, such as, cylinders, boiler, tubes pipe, valves, castings, components etc.. Hydrostatic pressure test is also a common testing procedure to verify pressure vessels do not leak or have manufacturing flaws. Hydrostatic pressure test pumps & unit is important for pressure vessels in the interest of device safety, and durability under operating pressure.
The pressure vessel to be tested is located within a sealed vessel. The sealed vessel is filled with a incompressible fluid, typically water or oil. The pressure test vessel is then subjected to a known internal pressure for a known duration. The known internal pressure is normally a significant percent greater than the maximum operating pressure of the device (typically 150%). The applied pressure causes the test vessel to expand, instrumentation, which is already in place, are then read to determine the total and permanent expansion that the test chamber (external) undergoes. A physical and visual inspection then follows the hydrostatic pressure test to determine that the device being tested has not been damaged or permanently distorted due to the test pressure.
Pressure vessels may be re-verified by subjecting the vessel device to a proof-pressure test. The proof-pressure test is commonly referred to as a "modified hydrostatic test". The pressure vessel is subjected to a known pressure for a predetermined time. During and following the proof-pressure test, the pressure vessel is inspected for abnormal distortion or failure.
PressureJet also offers hydrostatic pressure test pumps with pre-filling cum pre-pressurizing cum pressure building system. For large volume of hydro test combine hydrostatic pressure testing unit is most preferred solution. This hydrostatic pressure testing pumps & equipment is compact, efficient & cost effective, available in different combinations of pressure and flow. The unique automatic hydro test controller is a standard feature of this system.Otherwise also for large quantity, automatic hydrotest controller is very useful to improve productivity thru even a kay man.
Though theoretically water is considered as non compressible fluid, it requires considerable amount of feeding to raise the pressure.
"How much water is to be injected to raise certain pressure?" and "What time will it take to reach up to desire pressure?" are typical questions, asked by majority customers who are inquiring about high pressure hydrotest pumps. It depends upon the following
Customer should furnish the above information and leave it to us for the right selection of pressuretest pumps.
We have wide range of hydraulic pressure testing machine, of different test pressure.
We would like to inform you that pressureJet technical team is well trained to select right (here, optimum) hydrotest pump for right application. Therefore, rest assured that they will never mislead you.
