This site allows consumers to share comments with each other about the many different products, devices, and programs for sexual health.

1For the leader. A maskil of the Korahites.*
2As the deer longs for streams of water,a
so my soul longs for you, O God.
3My soul thirsts for God, the living God.
When can I enter and see the face of God?*b
4My tears have been my bread day and night,c
as they ask me every day, "Where is your God?"d
5Those times I recall
as I pour out my soul,e
When I would cross over to the shrine of the Mighty One,*
to the house of God,
Amid loud cries of thanksgiving,
with the multitude keeping festival.f
6Why are you downcast, my soul;
why do you groan within me?
Wait for God, for I shall again praise him,
my savior and my God.
7My soul is downcast within me;
therefore I remember you
From the land of the Jordan* and Hermon,
from Mount Mizar,g
8*Deep calls to deep
in the roar of your torrents,
and all your waves and breakers
sweep over me.h
9By day may the LORD send his mercy,
and by night may his righteousness be with me!
I will pray* to the God of my life,
10I will say to God, my rock:
"Why do you forget me?i
Why must I go about mourning
with the enemy oppressing me?"
11It shatters my bones, when my adversaries reproach me,
when they say to me every day: "Where is your God?"
12Why are you downcast, my soul,
why do you groan within me?
Wait for God, for I shall again praise him,
my savior and my God.
* [Psalms 42–43] Ps 42–43 form a single lament of three sections, each section ending in an identical refrain (Ps 42:6, 12; 43:5). The psalmist is far from Jerusalem, and longs for the divine presence that Israel experienced in the Temple liturgy. Despite sadness, the psalmist hopes once again to join the worshiping crowds.
* [42:1] The Korahites: a major guild of Temple singers (2 Chr 20:19) whose name appears in the superscriptions of Ps 42; 44–49; 84–85; 87–88.
* [42:3] See the face of God: "face" designates a personal presence (Gn 33:10; Ex 10:28–29; 2 Sm 17:11). The expressions "see God/God's face" occur elsewhere (Ps 11:7; 17:15; cf. Ex 24:10; 33:7–11; Jb 33:26) for the presence of God in the Temple.
* [42:5] The shrine of the Mighty One: this reading follows the tradition of the Septuagint and the Vulgate.
* [42:7] From the land of the Jordan: the sources of the Jordan are in the foothills of Mount Hermon in present-day southern Lebanon. Mount Mizar is presumed to be a mountain in the same range.
* [42:8] Deep calls to deep: to the psalmist, the waters arising in the north are overwhelming and far from God's presence, like the waters of chaos (Ps 18:5; 69:2–3, 15; Jon 2:3–6).
* [42:9–10] I will pray…I will say: in the midst of his depression the psalmist turns to prayer. Despite his situation he trusts the Lord to deliver him from his sorrow so that he may enter the Temple precincts and praise him once again (Ps 43:3–4, 5b).
a. [42:2–3] Ps 63:2; 84:3; 143:6; Is 26:9.
h. [42:8] Ps 18:5; 32:6; 69:2; 88:8; Jon 2:4.

At a time when going green would seem to be an easy sell, there still aren't a lot of clients who waltz into a realestate office or new home sales centre announcing that they're looking for an environmentally friendly home. In my experience, if the subject comes up, home buyers generally express positive attitudes toward the idea. It just doesn't come up all that often.
Some of this apparent lack of interest can be chalked up to marketing fatigue. These days, with so many builders touting themselves as green, they can begin to blur together in the eyes of buyers. When a builder markets his homes as environmentally friendly because they feature water-saving toilets and high-efficiency gas furnaces, that's a problem: You'd be hard-pressed to find a new home without these features.
Some genuinely green homes bear a label such as Energy Star, LEED or R-2000. These are meaningful designations, but you'd have to wade through a lot of technical lingo in order to understand what they actually signify. It takes time and dedication to understand how truly environmentally conscious a builder may, or may not, be. And this leads to the question: How much do we really care? Not to suggest that we're environmentally unfriendly, but where does going green actually sit on our list of priorities?
There are certainly Canadians for whom green trumps all. However, those who are wholly devoted to the cause are likely to go all the way, building a straw-bale home or retrofitting an older home with solar panels and composting toilets. The majority of us want an easier way to make a difference.
Given the choice of a home that meets minimum governmental requirements for environmental considerations and another that exceeds them, all other things being equal, most of us will choose the green home and feel good about it.
But the reality is that all other things aren't equal. If the greener home means more money at the outset, which it sometimes does, it might mean sacrificing square footage or high-end finishes. As good as our intentions are, it's a trade many of us are reluctant to make. Availability can be another obstacle. We may have heard about a wonderful green builder, but if they don't have a development in our preferred location, chances are we'll move along to someone who does.
This notion is backed up by a survey conducted by Leger Marketing and released in April. It shows that while 60 per cent of Canadians surveyed stated their purchases are influenced by pro-environmental steps taken by a manufacturer, only 37 per cent will actually pay more for products that are more environmentally friendly. The products in question are left to the imagination, but it seems likely that more of us would be willing to pay a 25-cent premium for green toilet paper than a $10,000 premium for a green home.
Unless — and it's a big unless — there's long-term financial incentive to do so. In the new-home industry, as in many other industries, the term "green" is often used as a euphemism for "energy-efficient" and, in the long run, more energy efficient equals less drain on your pocketbook. Where new-home construction is concerned, preserving the environment and saving money are becoming more difficult to distinguish from one another — and that's a good thing. When whittling down your energy bill has the side effect of helping the environment, nobody loses.
According to a green home poll last year by TD Canada Trust, 72 per cent of Canadians are willing to pay more for a house or condo with environmentally friendly features. That statistic would seem to contradict the findings of the Leger poll. But take a closer look: Of these big spenders, more than three-quarters (77 per cent) are primarily motivated by savings on energy bills, with only 42 per cent appreciating the reduction of environmental impact. Green homes aren't necessarily selling to environmentalists; they're selling to the financially savvy.
As for the issue of availability, that one will resolve itself over time. Government standards are rising, builders are becoming more astute and consumers are gradually learning to view the initial premium as an investment. Eventually, purchasing an energy-efficient home will seem as natural as tossing an empty soup can into the recycling bin.

This is just a heads-up that my Shell Scripting Recipes book is due out in August 2011.
I hope to publish more details here as things progress; for now, it is well on the way, but it is not too late for readers to contact me (email@example.com) if there is anything that you see as vital for a Shell Scripting Recipes book which was maybe missing from some other book you saw.
Part I covers Language and Usage; all of the concepts of the Shell and how it works.
Part II is Recipes using System Tools. This covers the commands that are necessary for shell scripting, and includes quite a few surprising ways to use them.
Part III is Recipes using Shell Features. This is similar to Part II but it gives concrete uses for the theory presented in Part I.
Part IV is Recipes for Systems Administration. This provides (and explains) various recipes for real-world systems administration tasks of and beyond the ordinary.
I do intend to keep you appraised of progress; you can also follow my personal blog at http://steve-parker.org/urandom/ for more detailed updates. The RSS feed for that blog is http://steve-parker.org/urandom/rss.php.

- Donna Brazile: Clinton stepping down as Secretary of State. Maybe she'll run for president
- She says as secretary she expanded foreign policy to include effect on regular people
- She says she was first secretary of state to focus on empowering women and girls
- Brazile: Clinton has fought for education and inclusion in politics for women and girls
Editor's note: Donna Brazile, a CNN contributor and a Democratic strategist, is vice chairwoman for voter registration and participation at the Democratic National Committee. She is a nationally syndicated columnist, an adjunct professor at Georgetown University and author of "Cooking with Grease." She was manager for the Gore-Lieberman presidential campaign in 2000.
(CNN) -- As Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton steps down from her job Friday, many are assuming she will run for president. And she may. In fact, five of the first eight presidents first served their predecessors as secretary of state.
It hasn't happened in more than a century, though that may change should Clinton decide to run. After all, she has been a game changer her entire life.
But before we look ahead, I think we should appreciate what she's done as secretary of state; it's a high profile, high pressure job. You have to deal with the routine as if it is critical and with crisis as if it's routine. You have to manage egos, protocols, customs and Congress. You have to be rhetorical and blunt, diplomatic and direct.
CNN Contributor Donna Brazile
As secretary of state you are dealing with heads of state and with we the people. And the president of the United States has to trust you -- implicitly.
On the road with Hillary Clinton
Of all Clinton's accomplishments -- and I will mention just a few -- this may be the most underappreciated. During the election, pundits were puzzled and amazed not only at how much energy former President Bill Clinton poured into Obama's campaign, but even more at how genuine and close the friendship was.
Obama was given a lot of well-deserved credit for reaching out to the Clintons by appointing then-Sen. Hillary Clinton as his secretary of state in the first place. But trust is a two-way street and has to be earned. We should not underestimate or forget how much Clinton did and how hard she worked. She deserved that trust, as she deserved to be in the war room when Osama bin Laden was killed.
By the way, is there any other leader in the last 50 years whom we routinely refer to by a first name, and do so more out of respect than familiarity? The last person I can think of was Ike -- the elder family member who we revere with affection. Hillary is Hillary.
It's not surprising that we feel we know her. She has been part of our public life for more than 20 years. She's been a model of dignity, diplomacy, empathy and toughness. She also has done something no other secretary of state has done -- including the two women who preceded her in the Cabinet post.
Rothkopf: President Hillary Clinton? If she wants it
Hillary has transformed our understanding -- no, our definition -- of foreign affairs. Diplomacy is no longer just the skill of managing relations with other countries. The big issues -- war and peace, terror, economic stability, etc. -- remain, and she has handled them with firmness and authority, with poise and confidence, and with good will, when appropriate.
But it is not the praise of diplomats or dictators that will be her legacy. She dealt with plenipotentiaries, but her focus was on people. Foreign affairs isn't just about treaties, she taught us, it's about the suffering and aspirations of those affected by the treaties, made or unmade.
Most of all, diplomacy should refocus attention on the powerless.
Of course, Hillary wasn't the first secretary of state to advocate for human rights or use the post to raise awareness of abuses or negotiate humanitarian relief or pressure oppressors. But she was the first to focus on empowerment, particularly of women and girls.
She created the first Office of Global Women's Issues. That office fought to highlight the plight of women around the world. Rape of women has been a weapon of war for centuries. Though civilized countries condemn it, the fight against it has in a sense only really begun.
Ghitis: Hillary Clinton's global legacy on gay rights
The office has worked to hold governments accountable for the systematic oppression of girls and women and fought for their education in emerging countries. As Hillary said when the office was established: "When the Security Council passed Resolution 1325, we tried to make a very clear statement, that women are still largely shut out of the negotiations that seek to end conflicts, even though women and children are the primary victims of 21st century conflict."
Hillary also included the United States in the Trafficking in Person report. Human Trafficking, a form of modern, mainly sexual, slavery, victimizes mostly women and girls. The annual report reviews the state of global efforts to eliminate the practice. "We believe it is important to keep the spotlight on ourselves," she said. "Human trafficking is not someone else's problem. Involuntary servitude is not something we can ignore or hope doesn't exist in our own communities."
She also created the office of Global Partnerships. And there is much more.
She has held her own in palaces and held the hands of hungry children in mud-hut villages, pursuing an agenda that empowers women, children, the poor and helpless.
We shouldn't have been surprised. Her book "It Takes a Village" focused on the impact that those outside the family have, for better or worse, on a child's well-being.
As secretary of state, she did all she could to make sure our impact as a nation would be for the better.

Pelleted Lettuce Seed
New! Crunchy sandwich-sized leaves and year-round performance. Conventional seed with NOP-compliant pelleting.
CULTURE: Lettuce is hardy and can be planted as early as the soil can be worked. It is a cool weather crop and grows best at temperatures of 60–65°F (16-18°C). Careful variety selection is important for hot weather plantings. Sow every 3 weeks for a continuous supply of fresh lettuce.
THERMAL DORMANCY: Lettuce seed can enter thermal dormancy when exposed to high temperatures. Optimum germination results at soil temperatures of 60-68°F (16-20°C). The priming process in pelleted lettuce seeds broadens the temperature range in which the seeds will germinate, overcoming some of their thermal dormancy.
TRANSPLANTING: Sow in flats, 4 seeds/in., or in 3/4" plug trays, barely covering seeds with fine vermiculite, 3–4 weeks before transplanting outdoors. Shade the flats on sunny, warm days if necessary to keep the soil surface cool, below 75°F (24°C), until germination. If sowing into flats, transplant 1-2" apart into flats, pots, or cell-type containers about 2 weeks later. Harden seedlings by reducing water and temperature for 2-3 days before planting outdoors. Properly hardened transplants can survive temperatures as low as 20°F (-6°C). Transplant iceberg and romaine lettuce 10-12" apart, in rows 18" apart. Other types 8-10" apart in rows 12-18" apart for full-size heads or 6" apart for mini heads.
DIRECT SEEDING: Seeds germinate even at low, 40°F (4°C), soil temperature, but poorly above 75°F (24°C) depending on the variety and seed lot. Sow seeds 6 seeds per foot, rows 12-18" apart. Cover seed lightly, about 1/8", and firm soil gently. Thin iceberg and romaine lettuce to one plant every 10-12", other types 8-10" for full-size heads or 6" for mini heads. Dry soil must be watered to ensure coolness and moisture, and for uniform germination.
SALAD MIX/BABY LEAF: Sow in a 2-4" wide band, about 60 seeds/ft.
MT0 SEEDS: A variety's description followed by MT0-30 indicates that the seed offered for sale has been tested for the presence of Lettuce Mosaic Virus and that no LMV was found in a sample of at least 30,000 seeds.
NOTE: A disease-free test result does not guarantee a seed lot to be disease-free, only that in the sample tested, the pathogen was not found.
DAYS TO MATURITY: For full-size heads in mild temperatures from direct seeding; for days to maturity from transplant date, subtract 10–14 days. NOTE: Maturity can be 3 or more weeks later in cool weather, and up to 1 week earlier in hot weather.
AVG. DIRECT SEEDING RATE: For full-size heads (precision seeded): 1,000 seeds/160', 1 oz./3,000', 10 oz./acre 2" apart in rows 18" apart. For baby leaf: 1,000 seeds/16', 1 oz./400', 1 lb./6,400' at 60 seeds/ft.
TRANSPLANTS: Avg. 16,000 plants/oz.
SEED SPECS: SEEDS/OZ.: Avg. 17,800.
PACKET: 500 seeds, unless otherwise indicated.

|The Marauder's Map
|Object information
- "Messrs. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs
Purveyors of Aids to Magical Mischief-Makers
are proud to present
- —The Marauder's Map[src]
The Marauder's Map is a magical document that reveals all of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Not only does it show every classroom, every hallway, and every corner of the castle, but it also shows every inch of the grounds, as well as all the secret passages that are hidden within its walls and the location of every person in the grounds, portrayed by a dot. It is also capable of accurately identifying each person, and is not fooled by animagi, polyjuice potions, or invisibility cloaks; even the Hogwarts ghosts are not exempted from this. The Map's only possible flaw lies in the fact that it cannot differentiate people who bear similar names (the shared names aren't given a Junior or Senior at the end). It can also reveal secret passages the Marauders found, though it only did this on one known occasion (in his third year, Harry Potter was shown how to use the statue of the humpbacked witch to enter Hogsmeade Village).
- "The magic used in the map's creation is advanced and impressive; it includes the Homonculous Charm, enabling the possessor of the map to track the movements of every person in the castle, and it was also enchanted to forever repel (as insultingly as possible) the curiosity of their nemesis, Severus Snape."
- —Description of the magic involved in the map's creation[src]
The Marauder's Map was created by Remus Lupin (Moony), Peter Pettigrew (Wormtail), Sirius Black (Padfoot), and James Potter (Prongs) while they were attending Hogwarts. The map was created between 1975 and 1978, because the titles on the map refer to the nicknames of these four men in their Animagus forms, and Lupin in werewolf form, respectively. The four created the map via the usage of the Homonculous Charm, a powerful and advanced charm that enchanted the map to track the movements of everyone in the castle, as well as a charm to insult Severus Snape. This artefact proved quite useful to the foursome (commonly termed "the Marauders") through the years, until it was confiscated by Argus Filch in their final year at Hogwarts.[1]
Fred and George WeasleyEdit
- "This little beauty's taught us more than all the teachers in this school."
- —Fred Weasley on the Marauder's Map[src]
Fred and George Weasley "nicked" the map from Filch's office in their first year at Hogwarts. They had been taken to his Office for letting off a Dungbomb and saw a drawer marked Confiscated and Highly Dangerous. George dropped another Dungbomb, while Fred stole the Map from the drawer. They had to experiment with it in order to learn how to get it to work, but it gave them clues, "flickering into life here and there" when they came close to the activating phrase, until finally they got it exactly. Because of this map, the twins memorized the secret passageways of Hogwarts which they used for quite a few of their many pranks. [2] In Harry Potter's third year at Hogwarts Fred and George gave the map to Harry, so that he could go to Hogsmeade on the weekends, although he had not obtained a permission slip to do so from his guardians, Vernon and Petunia Dursley.
1993-1995 Harry's Usage of The MapEdit
- "Mr. Moony presents his compliments to Professor Snape and begs him to keep his abnormally large nose out of other people's business.
Mr. Prongs agrees with Mr. Moony and would like to add that Professor Snape is an ugly git.
Mr. Padfoot would like to register his astonishment that an idiot like that ever became a Professor.
Mr. Wormtail bids Professor Snape good day, and advises him to wash his hair, the slime-ball."
- —The Map's response to Severus Snape's attempt to reveal the Map's secrets[src]
Harry used the Map throughout his time as a student at Hogwarts, especially during his third year, when he tried to find his way into Hogsmeade. Then, he used the One-Eyed Witch Passage which led into Honeydukes cellar. The map however will insult anyone who doesn't know how to activate it. Professor Remus Lupin did catch Harry with the map (after Snape found it while interrogating Harry), and subsequently confiscated it, surprising the younger wizard with his knowledge of how to activate it. It was through the map that the professor discovered Peter Pettigrew was still alive, leading him to conclude it was indeed the latter that had betrayed Harry's parents, in the process framing their old friend Sirius Black for the crime. This would go a long way towards repairing the rift between the two co-creators of the map. He would return the map to Harry before leaving Hogwarts, at the end of the year.
During his fourth year, Harry used the map to help him as he sneaked into the prefects' bathroom to work on his clue for the Second Task of the Triwizard Tournament. On his way back, he dropped the map, and it was almost taken by Severus Snape. Harry was saved by Barty Crouch Jr., disguised as Professor Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody, who pretended it was his. Crouch later asked to borrow the map from Harry, but after Crouch was unmasked, he reclaimed it.
- "The map never lies."
- —Sirius Black
During Harry's sixth year, when he spent a great deal of time obsessing over Draco Malfoy's daily activities, he used the map often.
When monitoring Draco Malfoy, Harry found he often disappeared off the map. The cause of this was not revealed until after he asked Dobby to trail Draco to find out what he was doing when he disappeared off the map. Dobby discovered that Draco was disappearing into the Room of Requirement, which was not on the Marauder's Map. Whether because it was Unplottable or the Marauders never found the room is unspecified.
While on the run in looking for Horcruxes, Harry would often look at the map to see what Ginny Weasley, his love interest, was doing, which would hint that the map works from any location.
Moments before the start of the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry briefly used the map to search for Ron and Hermione but he did not find them as they were, at the time, in the Chamber of Secrets collecting Basilisk fangs with which they could destroy the last of Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes.[3]
Harry Potter's legacyEdit
After Harry Potter's defeat of Lord Voldemort during the Battle of Hogwarts, the map would not have been used for many years. Eventually, James Sirius Potter would steal the map from his father's desk.[4]
The map is normally disguised as a blank piece of parchment. To view the map, one must tap it with one's wand and recite, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." The content of the map will reveal itself.
To hide the contents of the map so the parchment appears blank again, one must again tap it and recite, "Mischief managed."
An added bonus is that if the bearer of the map approaches the entrance to a secret passage protected by a password, the password will appear on the map (usually as a speech bubble that appears close to the dot representing the Map's holder).
Exceptions to useEdit
- "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."
- —Words to reveal the map.[src]
In some rare cases, the map may not be used to the best of its ability. Heading out through the secret passage from the Whomping Willow to the Shrieking Shack will make the person disappear, as Snape mentions in the spring of 1994, so the Shrieking Shack is not included on the map because it goes off the edge of the map. It also does not show any person that may be inside the Room of Requirement, as the Room of Requirement is unplottable and it itself does not show up on the map, or the Chamber of Secrets, as it is very unlikely that any of the creators of the map knew of its existence at the time that the map was made.
Additionally, the map does not differentiate between two people with the same name. This was the case with Barty Crouch Jr., who was simply shown as "Bartemius Crouch" on the map (instead of "Bartemius Crouch Jr"). This lead Harry Potter to believe that Barty Crouch Sr. was in Hogwarts, when he was actually at his own home at the time.
Similarly, it identifies animagi by their actual name even when they are in their transformed state. It was by this mechanism that Lupin was able to identify Peter Pettigrew's presence at Hogwarts despite being presumed dead.
The map was impossible to be directly used by Severus Snape, as it was enchanted to insult him should he attempt to do so.[5] However, Snape was able to make use of the map to view Remus Lupin entering the secret passage underneath the Whomping Willow, as Lupin had left the map accessible beforehand.
Special abilities of the mapEdit
The Map also shows how to access the sealed passages by showing the password required to un-seal it (displayed as a minuscule speech balloon shown close to the dot representing the user of the map that appears when the map's holder comes close to the available passages). More importantly, the Map shows the name and location of every person within the Hogwarts grounds, even if they are wearing an Invisibility cloak (as demonstrated when Remus Lupin saw Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger sneaking to Rubeus Hagrid's cabin under an Invisibility cloak), transformed animagi (evidenced by Lupin seeing Peter Pettigrew return to the school grounds from Hagrid's, despite being disguised as the rat Scabbers at the time), or under the influence of the Polyjuice Potion (as demonstrated when Harry saw Barty Crouch Jr., at the time disguised as Alastor Moody, ransacking Snape's office for more Polyjuice ingredients).
Behind the scenesEdit
- The Marauder's Map, along with his wand and the Cloak of Invisibility, is Harry's only remaining treasure from his time at Hogwarts.
- According to J. K. Rowling, Harry never gave the map to Teddy Lupin or any of his children, but his son James probably stole it from Harry's desk.
- The magical defences on Hogwarts have been mentioned several times, including Hogwarts being unplottable. That implies that mapping Hogwarts is impossible, which is exactly what the Marauder's Map does. There are some possible loop holes for this: for example, making a place unplottable might simply make it impossible for it to be mapped with reference to somewhere else. As the Marauder's Map only covers Hogwarts, not of its position relative to (for example) London, it would circumvent the theoretical unplottable charm.
- The claim that the map shows "every" corner of Hogwarts is likely an exaggeration, as there is no indication that it shows the Chamber of Secrets or the Room of Requirement. However, the map was created based on the Marauders' knowledge of Hogwarts and as none of them were Parselmouths, they would not have been able to access the Chamber of Secrets. Considering that Fred and George had it during the opening of the Chamber of Secrets, and the disappearance of their sister into it, it seems very unlikely it showed the Chamber or they would have mentioned it. Also, it is possible that they did manage to find the Room of Requirement, but that the room itself is unplottable as need be [6]. However, it is not very likely the Marauders did discover the Room of Requirement as Sirius never suggested the Room to Harry as a possible location for the meetings of Dumbledore's Army in Order of the Phoenix. It is also possible that Sirius didn't think about the Room of Requirement at the time.
- In the book, the map is described as a single piece of parchment that could be laid on a desk in a classroom. In the film, the map is shown as a rather large, much-folded paper with several unfolding flaps within it. This is actually more practical, as it is unlikely that all of Hogwarts—having many floors and towers—could be drawn on a single piece of paper.
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, one page is added to the Map, featuring the seventh-floor corridor.
- While Hogwarts Castle is located on a large mountain in the films and video games, the map still shows the Castle on level ground.
- There is a toy version of the Map in every copy of the video game version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, which is an exact replica of the in-game Map.
- A real-size replica of the Marauder's Map prop can be bought at Noble Collection.
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Moony is misspelled "Mooney" as an inside joke to the film's visual effects supervisor, Karl Mooney.
- In the film adaption of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, When Harry was walking down one of the corridors one night, he saw Peter Pettigrew's name appear on the map before being caught by Snape, which was the first hint of Peter still being alive. This did not occur in the book.
- Harry retrieved the Marauders Map when Barty Crouch Jr. took it, by simply taking it from the fake Moody's office at the end of the school year. (Rowling had forgotten to mention it.) [7]
- Also in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, while Albus Dumbledore is pacing in his office, his name is spelt Albvs Dvmbledore. This was most likely done simply to give the impression of age. During the late middle ages, 'v' and 'u' were used interchangably, with 'v' always appearing at the beginning of a word and 'u' always appearing in the middle or at the end of a word.
- The map is David Thewlis' favourite prop from the series. [8]
- In the PlayStation 2 and Xbox video game adaptations of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Draco Malfoy uses the potion to turn into Ron to trick Harry into following him into a trap while trying to find Sirius Black. Despite the fact that the Map never lies about identity, it still names Draco as Ron.
- For the Harry Potter films, the Marauder's Map was hand-made by MinaLima Design with ink and paper.[9]
- It is unknown if the map shows deceased people. Barty Crouch Jr. does not show any sign of seeing his father's body represented on the map, but he could have seen it and not told anyone.

- create your own magnetic receiptive pin wall -
Ferrous sheet looks very much like magnetic sheet and is similar in flexibility, weight and thickness. It provides a flexible alternative to steel and compliments our range of magnetic sheet products. It is similar to Steel Paper, but is thicker for increased strength. This makes it ideal for use where there is an intermediary material between the sheet and the magnet (PVC based for outdoor use also). It is flexible, receptive.
As an adhesive base stencil to the magnetic substance, it has the sound safety and flexibility. The surface can be coated with film or be printed. It can be used for the wave absorbing materials and magnetic circuit shield. It is widely applicable for office supplies, exhibition board, toys, stationery, magnetic darts, etc.
Flexible magnetic materials can be supplied on the roll, sheeted or slit to your specific requirements - fast turnaround and lowest prices
Please note!
Ferrous foils are covered with a plastic film and have been treated with iron particles to achieve an magnetically adhesive effect. It is not the same as a full metallic surface, such as refrigerators. Therefore, we recommend that our customers only use neodymium magnets in conjunction with our steel foils. Only these magnets generate enough power to keep magnetic notes, photos, etc. on the steel foil.
To create changeable graphics/signage!
To create a flexible medium for advertising you will need to combine flexible ferrous foil with magnetic sheets (Magnets). The self adhesive flexible ferrous will create a magnetic receiptive base which will receive your printed advertising (magnetic sheets). You will be able to change your advertising as often as needed.
Available in widths up to 40" with or without adhesive, or in white. Choose plain surface or several different laminates, including several colors. May be UV screen printed, eco solvent or solvent inkjet printed. Available in large or standard-sized rolls.
- to create changeable graphics/signage -
Step One: Stick It
New Force adhesive back magnetic sheet is adhered to the wall.
Step Two: Print It
A changeable sign is printed on magnetic receptive transitional graphics.
Step Three: Change It
To change the sign, a new message is printed on transitional graphics. The old sign is easily removed and replaced by the new message.

M0.7 - 10.73 mi WNW from Hanford-200W, WA
Depth within the Earth where an earthquake rupture initiated. PNSN reports depths relative to sea level, so the elevation of the ground above sea level at the location of the epicenter must be added to estimate the depth beneath the Earth's surface.
A measure of how well network seismic stations surround the earthquake. Measured from the epicenter (in degrees), the largest azimuthal gap between azimuthally adjacent stations. The smaller this number, the more reliable the calculated horizontal position of the earthquake.
How well the given earthquake location predicts the observed phase arrivals (in seconds). Smaller misfits mean more precise locations. The best locations have RMS Misfits smaller than 0.1 seconds.
A P first motion is the direction in which the ground moves at the seismometer when the first P wave arrives. We distinguish between upward and downward first motions. This is the number of observations that were used to obtain the fault plane solution.
Orientation of first possible fault plane
The strike is the angle between the north direction and the direction of the fault trace on the surface, while keeping the dipping fault plane to your right.
The dip is the steepness of the fault plane measured as an angle between the fault plane and the surface. For example, 0 degrees is a horizontal fault and 90 degrees is a vertical fault.
Rake is the angle, measure in the fault plane, between the strike and the direction in which the material above the fault moved relative to the material on the bottom of the fault (slip direction).
Orientation of second possible fault plane
The orientation of the two possible fault planes is the best solution we can find to match the observed first motions at the seismometers using a grid search method. The uncertainty of the strike, dip, and rake indicate the number of degrees by which those values can vary and still match the observations satisfactorily.
Code, or name, to designate a particular seismic station
Network Code indicates the organization responsible for a particular station, the PNSN consists of UW=University of Washington, UO=University of Oregon, and CC=Cascade Volcano Observatory
The quality of an observed P arrival polarity indicates how well you can tell whether it is up or down and can range from 0 (poor) to 1 (good).
The channel name allows one to distinguish between data from different kinds of sensors. The first character indicates the sample rate of the data, examples are E=100Hz, B=40 or 50Hz, H=80 or 100 Hz. The second character indicates whether the channel is a high (H) gain or low (L) gain velocity channel or a strong-motion acceleration channel (N). The third character indicates the direction of motion measured, Z=up/down, E=east/west, N=north/south.
Polarity means the direction of motion, in this context it means whether it is up (U) or down (D).

The CloudShare Labs virtual environment arrives this month to offer a self-service (if not drive-thru) solution for application development and testing. The firm says that it sees growing demand for "customized IT environments", so CloudShare Labs presents an integrated self-service suite for creating, customizing, and sharing virtual environments.

ReportsMore >>
WebcastsMore >>
Business groups are competing for, or lack access to, IT resources customized for their specific objectives, says CloudShare.
If you hold credence for Gartner's rather specific industry estimations, then you may like to consider this comment from the analyst firm. "Through into 2015, only 10 percent of I&O (Infrastructure & Operations) organizations will be able to deliver the speed of change required by the business processes they enable."
CloudShare is attempting to both buck this trend with a proposition to give developers access to infrastructure resources that have been optimized for their specific line of business.
This technology is designed to work for complex, multi-tier enterprise applications (and simplified use cases too presumably) to create and provision environments for build verification, test automation, and manual testing. The big sell here is that is all achieved without the need for development shops to change any of their in-house tools or processes.
Capabilities include simplified bug fixing: The solution enables the capture of a multi-VM disk and memory state, literally freezing a bug in its environment so it can instantly be shared with developers and corrected without having to reproduce the bug in a different environment.
"Limited and slow access to infrastructure causes delays in release cycles and puts testing at risk of being incomplete, resulting in bugs in production. Lack of access to IT infrastructure and the limitation of existing solutions remain huge barriers to rapid innovation," said Zvi Guterman, CEO of CloudShare. "With CloudShare Labs, application development and testing organizations work faster and companies will find a competitive advantage by gaining access to IT resources at the speed of development."
Also featured here are environment cloning and template libraries. This provides the ability to clone a master environment and (potentially) eliminate mistakes caused by misconfiguration. It enables collaboration among cross-functional and global teams through a web browser, console, or SSH session. Groups can also create and store libraries of templates for later reuse.

Apple announced the iPhone 5 earlier this week, and one of the major changes to the device is its connector. Apple's new 8-pin "Lightning" connector replaces the legacy 30-pin connector used in previous iPhone generations. This conversion to the new connector will leave many iPhone peripherals out in the cold unless you purchase the needed adapters. The Lightning connector is smaller and reversible, which is nice. But is it worth getting the iPhone 5 if it makes all your previous connectors obsolete?
The Ars OpenForum has been following Apple's announcement of the iPhone 5 closely in the thread "Official" Apple Sept 2012 event discussion thread. As the event unfolded on Wednesday, the OpenForum members analyzed Apple's move to the new connector. The iPhone is not the only Apple device getting a dock overhaul: iPods, which were also announced this week, will also get Lightning dock connectors. It looks like this is the way of the future for Apple gadgets, so customers who are converting now may see the new technology as an investment for the future.
When it comes to the transition, ClarkGoble comes right out and says it: "Honestly to me the new connector is a step backwards—even though I understand completely why they are moving to it."
Captain Riker has some serious doubts about the promise of the new 8-pin cable: "Are there any good notes on what the new dock connector offers beyond a smaller form factor and the ability to plug it in in any direction? I assume that Apple will release adapters for HDMI and Video out eventually. The note about the adapter seems to be a reflection of the adapter's ability to pass iPod control and video, not the connectors. Still a horrible message for anyone with a 'legacy dock' based device. My nice Bose sound dock may output music but its own controls and remote are useless? There is a paranoid part of me that thinks that Apple will take the stance that 'you only really need bluetooth and Airplay to get audio/video out' and that will be that. Of course that would beg the question: Why not just go with microUSB? Faster charging and reversibility aren't great selling points over 'use any cable/charger.'"
ChrisG questions Apple's choice to not adopt a standardized plug for the iPhone in response to comments from MrRefinement. "You say that Apple wouldn't want to use standardized plugs, but what about you, personally? Are you actually keen on buying adapters for stuff [like] that only because Apple say you have to? I noticed the other day that I've suddenly accumulated 3 or 4 USB main adapters with microUSB on the end (and a couple of with just USB outputs, so you can plug in anything with USB of some description on the other), which comes in incredibly handy when I have friends staying who need to charge phones overnight etc. Hell, I even have a rechargeable flashlight with a microUSB connector on it. With Apple stuff, nope. Wouldn't happen.
"Apple's Lightning connector will definitely force users to buy adapters for peripherals and other gadgets that connect to the iPhone, which could add up in cost, when you consider the adaptors start at $29 a piece. The connector does support analog and digital audio out. If you're looking for video out, don't get your hopes up, because it doesn't do it. Because the Lightning connector is a proprietary design, there's no substitutes for [it] at this point. On the upside, the new connector will transfer data more quickly, so that's a big plus."
ChrisG notes that Apple's proprietary design "sidesteps a standard that everyone else uses (microUSB) for no apparent reason other than to be different, but which would be entirely adequate for the job anyway. In fact, Engadget are reporting a Lightning-microUSB adapter for £15 as of this morning given the EU's mandate that smartphones should all use microUSB anyway."
For Captain Riker, video out is an important point. "On the Video out, if the new Lightning connector can't do video out then there might be trouble. I think (hope) it's the adapter that can't do video out but that the new connector can do video out. If it can't then why not just use microUSB and HDMI?"
While Apple is not likely to share exactly why it chose to move to this unique connector at this moment, the OpenForum is a great place to read analysis and speculation on this strategy. If you are considering buying or upgrading to an iPhone 5, how does the Lightning connector issue impact your buying decision? If you are a first-time owner, perhaps it doesn't matter, but what if you want to use your old gadgets and peripherals on the new phone? What are your thoughts on the pricing of the adaptors?

A modern, JCI accredited hospital which provides a full range of diagnostic, emergency, medical and surgical services.
Gynecology, Reproductive Biology
Gynecological Exam
upon request
This information is intended for general information only and should not be considered as medical advice on the part of Health-Tourism.com. Any decision on medical treatments, after-care or recovery should be done solely upon proper consultation and advice of a qualified physician.
Why have a Gynecological Exam?
A gynecological exam is a series of tests done in regard to the female reproductive system. The best reason to have a gynecological exam is for it to act as a preventative measure in regard to your reproductive and physical well-being.
Such an exam allows for the early detection of diseases such as pelvic infections, ovarian, cervical and breast cancer which are usually asymptomatic in the early stages and this increases the chances of survival.
This exam should begin at the age of 21 but if sexual active it should begin earlier. This allows a doctor- patient relationship to be established and pelvic exams are rarely required. This visits can be used to field any questions about a woman's development, menstrual cycle, sexual relationships, how to protect against sexually transmitted diseases as well as methods of birth control.
