You have no items in your shopping cart.
We have so many toys in stock right now, we hardly know where to put them! So, we decided we should put them at your house.
When you talk to us, we listen.
We've heard from many of our long-time customers that they love shopping with us, they want to shop small and local, and they appreciate the community we've created at The Giggling Green Bean. But, they say, we don't love that the stock levels have seemed low lately. We don't love when you're busy and there aren't enough experts to help us.
We hear you.
In order to be the kind of store you deserve, we're returning to our roots. We've loved the community created at the Lakewood store, but keeping it as a 2nd retail location is keeping us from providing the customer service you need. We've made the decision to consolidate our stock and expert staff to the Tennyson and Lutheran locations, and keep Lakewood for what it excels at - an event space! We'll be holding our Ultimate Green Baby Shower there, as well as classes and group meetings that need the larger space. As before, it will still be available for rental for your baby/birth/family event - though now you'll have a little more room to work in! Our last shopping day in the Lakewood store will be today, June 30th.
We are most definitely not closing The Giggling Green Bean. We would love for you to visit us at Tennyson or Lutheran - or both! We want you to see the full shelves, we want you to chat with our resident experts - because there'll be plenty of them to help you, whenever you come in! (And Buffy will actually have time to make you a cup of tea if you need it - we know how important the safe space we've created over the years is!)
The point is, we're here for YOU. When you tell us something isn't working, when you tell us you miss the old way - where we were more available and where the products we carry were more available - we're going to move heaven and earth (and Lakewood) to make it happen. We can't wait to see all of you Lakewood lovelies at Tennyson and Lutheran! And please, know that we love your feedback. We use it to grow, to better ourselves, and to be the very best store and community we can be! We're excited to be taking this step - we know you'll be happy with the return to our roots - and we're also happy to answer any questions you may have, so don't be shy!
With love,
The Giggling Green Bean

All quotes tagged Interpreting
(211 quotes found)
"I suppose I have a really loose interpretation of ''work,'' because I think that just being alive is so much work at something you don't always want to do. The machinery is always going. Even when you sleep."
"We look to the history of the time of framing and to the intervening history of interpretation. But the ultimate question must be, what do the words of the text mean in our time."
"From our point of view, however, any interpretation of Genesis which accommodates the standard system of evolutionary geological ages is a clear-cut compromise with atheistic evolution, and it is very sad that Christians who profess to believe the Bible as the Word of God will not acknowledge this."
"Interpreter, n.: One who enables two persons of different languages to understand each other by repeating to each what it would have been to the interpreter's advantage for the other to have said."
"You see, it's never the environment; it's never the events of our lives, but the meaning we attach to the events / how we interpret them / that shapes who we are today and who we'll become tomorrow."

The Middlesex County after an early-morning, single-car crash in Billerica Wednesday died from a self-inflicted gunshot to the head, according to the Lowell Sun.
The Middlesex County Sheriff's office has identified the deputy as Edward "Teddy" Dillon III, 27, of Lowell, but has not commented on his cause of death. The Middlesex County District Attorney's office has only said that his death was not suspicious and no charges are being filed, according to the Lowell Sun report.
Dillon's police cruiser, which sustained heavy front-end damage, was found at 4 a.m. on Treble Cove Road in Billerica. He was on duty at the time of the incident.
Middlesex County Sheriff Peter Koutoujian released the following statement about Dillon's death:
"My thoughts and prayers, as well as those of the entire Middlesex Sheriff's Office, go out to Officer Dillon's family, friends and colleagues. We know the work of correction officers is difficult and dangerous, but that does nothing to ease the pain and shock when we lose one of our own. The Middlesex Sheriff's Office will work to ensure that our officers and the Dillon family have the support they need as we grieve Teddy's passing."

A Kansas man is dead and his wife was critically hurt when a pickup truck crashed into their motorcycle. It happened just after 5 p.m. Sunday on Kansas Highway 96 about two miles east of Scott City in Scott County.
Kansas Highway Patrol officials say Patrick Vega, 51, of Kansas City, Kansas, and his wife Shelly Vega, 49, were heading westbound on K-96 on their motorcycle when a pickup truck that was heading eastbound on the highway made a left turn in front of them. The truck struck the motorcycle head-on.
Patrick Vega was taken to a nearby hospital where he later died. Shelly Vega was taken by helicopter to a Wichita hospital with critical injuries. The driver of the truck, a 63-year-old man from Scott City, was not hurt.
The accident is under investigation.

A Mother Reflects on Her Daughter's Addiction, Part 1
by Cathy Taughenbaugh, Parent Recovery and Life Coach and Founder of Treatment Talk
I clearly remember the day when I discovered that my daughter was using drugs.
I was devastated.
I was also filled with shame and confusion.
My daughter started out life as a typical little girl growing up in a suburban neighborhood on the SF peninsula. She excelled in school especially during her elementary years.
She was a Brownie, a girl scout, played soccer and softball, and performed in theater productions. She had many wonderful friends, a quick wit and fun sense of humor.
It was during middle school that I noticed her grades had started to slip a bit.
The first two years of high school were smooth. She joined the water polo team, as well as the swim team and made some close friends. I felt that I knew her friends' parents, since most of the girls had grown up together.
During the last two years of high school things started to get a bit rocky. Not dramatically, but we noticed. She kept her curfew, many of her friends remained the same, although there were a few new ones that made me a bit curious and concerned.
Her father and I prodded her onward and encouraged her to do better, monitored her whereabouts, and tried to be on top of all that was going on. Graduation came and went.
She was accepted to college in Colorado and I flew back with her one August morning, sending her off with the hopes and dreams of any parent.
Those hopes and dreams were dashed after her first semester, as she was soon on probation. After the second semester, she needed to attend CSM in order to return in the fall.
But after the dismal fall semester of her sophomore year, college was over. She took a part time job washing dogs. But that soon fell apart as well.
I flew back to see what I could do.
She finally admitted she was addicted to drugs. I should have known, and wondered why I didn't know.
I know now. I was in denial.
In my next blog post, I will write about our family's action plan and our journey towards recovery.
If you suspect substance abuse with your child, don't be in denial, like I was. Take action to help your child avoid going down the path of dependence and addiction.
Cathy Taughinbaugh is one of three Bay Area moms writing Parent to Parent ~ a blog sharing concerns about substance abuse. Lisa Frederiksen, Author Speaker Consultant and Founder of BreakingTheCycles.com and Shelley Richanbach, Certified Addictions Specialist, Peer Facilitator and Founder of Next Steps for Women, round out the Parent to Parent team. Check back every Wednesday as one of these moms will share their expertise and personal experiences with substance use, abuse, addiction and recovery. And if you find yourself in any one of their stories, consider attending their March 3, 2013, Substance Abuse Workshop for Parents.

MOSCOW, November 19 (R-Sport) - Rising Russian figure skating star Maxim Kovtun said Tuesday he is looking forward to dueling Turin Olympic champion Evgeni Plushenko for a single place at next year's Sochi Winter Games.
Kovtun, 18, was due to face the 30-year-old Plushenko at the Cup of Russia this weekend until Plushenko pulled out with a knee injury, and now they cannot face each other until the two competitions that will decide who gets Russia's sole slot in the Olympic men's event.
Plushenko has competed just once since January, and his fitness is a key question ahead of next month's Russian nationals, before January's European championships offer the last chance to make the host nation's team for Sochi.
"Personally, I don't care what condition Plushenko's in," Kovtun said. "You have to be beat him in real life, when he's on form, otherwise there's no value in it."
"If I win when he's, to put it bluntly, sprawled about, then that's not the same. I hope he comes to the Russian championships on form and we'll see who's better."
Kovtun's international breakthrough came with second place at the Cup of China Grand Prix earlier this month, finishing behind local prodigy Han Yan, but he said still considered himself Russia's "first reserve" behind Plushenko.
Ahead of this week's Cup of Russia, Kovtun has tweaked his short program to alter a problematic step sequence, typically a less challenging part of the program but one that caused him to fall in China and lose crucial points.
And the 18-year-old is under no illusions about the gulf between himself and Sochi gold medal favorite Patrick Chan of Canada, who set a new world record of 295.27 points in Paris last week, 34 more than Plushenko has ever managed and almost 60 more than Kovtun's best.
"The night when he did that skate, I slept very badly, thinking about how much work's ahead to achieve something of that kind," Kovtun said. "At moments like that, I also look back, see how much I've already worked, so that I am where I am today. I think I can cope."
The Cup of Russia takes place Friday and Saturday, and the Olympics run from February 7 through 23.
We will see..we will see...

Alexei Mishin : Plushenko 's short program will be changed
11/18/2013 15:08
Alexei Mishin , the coach of Olympic figure skating champion Yevgeny Plushenko , said that his client in Sochi will ride like never before ridden . Mentor believes that there are good reasons to expect from the successful performance of an athlete in Sochi.
"I am absolutely convinced that Plushenko will show their best performance . We look at the performance stage Grand Prix of strong skaters. Some of them are wonderful in their movement in a different direction , I am far from thinking someone criticize . After all, figure skating - versatile sport , it is possible to move in the different directions , as in art, music or science. The Soviet and Russian skaters - Bobrin , Urmanov , Ovchinnikov , Yagudin , Plushenko - carried something else along with quality skating. Each of their performance - mikrospektakl , the embodiment of the idea of the image . In today's figure skating skate well , quickly rotate the skaters are very hardy, they have good transitions . I can say that the program Plushenko fully meet modern trends. There is also a rotation, and jumping, and transitions. But it does have charisma and reared generations of figure skating. In his speech, there is always a story , drama . Plushenko programs will be a combination of requirements of modern figure skating and the fact that accumulated traditions. This can give a great effect , "- shared his expectations Alexei Mishin .
Mentor Yevgeny Plushenko said the performance of his ward on the ground for him in season tournament - Volvo Cup. In Riga, St. Petersburg skater confidently won the first place . But Alexei Mishin was unhappy with the short program and said that it needs some work.
"Rather than quadruple jump Zhenya made a triple , then he has failed in the triple stage , he made it 3-2. I am a very sober look at his performance . In the short program , it was unsuccessful . But when we went to Riga, I told Zhenya that the main act , as you like to go through two stages of competitions, because without experience can not speak - not in the Cup " Rostelecom ", nor in the Russian Championship . And when, in Riga, he went to the ice for the second time , I felt confident in their abilities. Zhenya will ride much better. A short program, we change . But I will not say how, " - said Alexei Mishin .
It is known that Yevgeny Plushenko will miss due to injury one of the Grand Prix . But Alexei Mishin did not rule out that his client will speak at other competitions before the final Grand Prix. Until this issue is solved .
Alexei Mishin praised the degree of preparation for the Olympic Games and its student Elizabeth Tuktamysheva .
"In my opinion, the best Elizabeth skating . When she performed at Skate America, each accompanied by the applause of her jump . Each time the hall stood up . Get a standing ovation Russian girl in America - is a significant fact , "- concluded Alexei Mishin .

Loud grumbles can be heard by travelers at this busy time of year under normal circumstances, but what is that noise going on with itinerant virtuosos carrying on board million-dollar-plus Strads and Guarneris on their way to concert dates?
It's the sound of bureaucracy. And it's overtaking what used to be a well-understood, mutually respectful transaction — between cellists (mostly) and the industry that transports them and their treasured instruments. Cellists have been bearing the brunt because their cargo is too precious to check as regular baggage but so large that it requires an extra cabin seat.

Carlos Conceição
Roto Artist at Double Negative
Batman – Dark Knight Rises, Total recall, and now the new Bond film, what can I say, a dream come true!
A dream come true indeed! After an overdue stint on our professional Compositing course at the beginning of 2011, it's fair to say that ever since, Carlos Conceição has grabbed the bull by the horns and furthermore, tamed it into his very own four legged chauffeur.
Now living in London and working in the heart of the VFX industry with Soho's Double Negative, Portuguese born Carlos Conceição has worked with some of the largest names in the business on some truly ground breaking cinematic projects. For Carlos though, working in the VFX industry was not always so straight forward.
"Back in the days when I decided to enter the VFX industry, I searched the internet for options, inside and outside of Portugal; Escape Studios was the best option out there in terms of reviews and general opinion"
Although Carlos was aware of Escape Studios at this time, finances were a considerable factor in his career progression, being fresh out of University in Europe, a move to the UK was a huge decision…
"In the end I chose the Portuguese option and went into Architecture Visualization, and worked there until I decided that I wanted to progress in my career further…then came the Escape dream again… fortunately I got the chance to do the course, and it changed my life. It's not easy getting to the top of your career in Portugal and then starting all over again in the UK… back home, I was a senior 'Arch Viz Artist' and a Master Class Teacher, but there is nothing compared with the Film industry.
After completing a professional Compositing course at Escape Studios, Carlos found himself almost immediately knees deep within the industry..
The Foundry, Electric Theatre Collective and his current employers - Double negative, are all firms who have made use of Carlos's extensive skillset over the last year. One of his favourite projects was during his time at the Electric Theatre Collective…
"I went to Electric Theatre Collective to work on a cool project with the Sesame Street characters. There were also some other escapees there from my course. Those days were amazing, the team environment was flawless and ETC is such a great place to work"
Today's escapee is brought to you by the letter S, that's S for SUCCESS… sorry we just couldn't resist…
Since then it's been peak after peak for Carlos, who has recently been working on the new Batman motion picture Dark Knight Rises, due for release later this month, and the new Bond film Skyfall, amongst other things.
We asked Carlos what advice he would give to any prospective escapees hoping to do the same, following their career dreams into the VFX industry.
My advice to the new students should be, learn from the best, Escape studios teachers are the best, but try to be creative somehow, try to get new footage, try and understand how to film, how to make photography, and why not do a bit of directing and producing? I did it with my military friends and it was so fun, the result got me my dream job!
The veracious combination of personal determination and extensive resources provided here at Escape can propel you to unimaginable places. For obvious reasons we can't provide a link to the Dark Knight Rises (!) but you can see Carlos's show reel here. Have a look and see what starting off in the business is all about.

In addition to chemicals and radiation, a few viruses also can trigger the development of cancer. In general, viruses are small infectious agents that cannot reproduce on their own, but instead enter into living cells and cause the infected cell to produce more copies of the virus. Like cells, viruses store their genetic instructions in large molecules called nucleic acids. In the case of cancer viruses, some of the viral genetic information carried in these nucleic acids is inserted into the chromosomes of the infected cell, and this causes the cell to become malignant.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Washington State coach Mike Leach says his team improved during last weekend's 51-26 loss to No. 2 Oregon compared to some earlier games.
Leach said Monday he was proud of the effort the Cougars showed all game against the Ducks. He says the game was closer than the final score, and the outcome rested on a handful of key plays.
Leach says Connor Halliday is expected to start at quarterback again when Washington State travels to No. 14 Oregon State this weekend. Halliday threw for 348 yards, his third consecutive 300-yard performance, against the Ducks.

Tito Ortiz cleared to train after neck injury, Bellator's Bjorn Rebney fears potential paralysis
Rebney talked about the delicate situation during a recent media conference call (via MMA Weekly):
"Tito is still with us. I've got to sit down and really download with Tito. When I initially got on the phone with the doctors, and Tito announced to us that he had fractured his neck, that was and is the primary concern. There's not a substantive answer at this point to whether he's going to come back. We're having discussions with him. The key was to get 120 percent healed. It's an unsettling conversation to have a specialist in the field of neck injuries to tell you that with the right kind of drop on the head, or the right kind of impact on the spine, paralysis could be a result. That's never a good conversation: A) for a world class athlete, but B) it's never a good conversation for the person in my position charged with putting that person inside of a cage to fight against top tier competition. The concern is still there, but just like any kind of injury, or just like any kind of break, he may be able to come back from it. And if he is able to come back from it, we'll relight the fuse and figure out what the steps are to get him into the cage. But, right now, there isn't a definitive answer in terms of when he could come back."
Rebney revealed that while Ortiz still has a contract with Bellator, it is currently on hold because of the injury as per company policy.
"Tito and I have got to sit down, work through it, talk about it, and if he is going to get back inside the cage, which is a distinct possibility, figure out what the best launch pad is and how he'd want to do that and what makes sense."
Meanwhile, according to Ortiz (via Twitter), he already has the green light to get back into training.
Got the green light from my DR. Time to train. This year is all business. (@ Punishment Athletics) http://t.co/jhTOcSYt6w

WSoF exec: Bellator puts on 'ridiculous' mismatches 'all the time'
WSoF matchmaker Ali Abdel-Aziz was quick to respond, via Twitter.
Ali Abdelaziz @AliAbdelaziz00
•Bjorn Rebney turned down our challenge. He doesn't believe in his fighters and now he wants to distract everyone talking about GSP. CANDYASS
•For the record GSP is my training partner and very great friend for 9 years. It is embarrassing how Bjorn is using his name as a scapegoat.
In another episode, when Bellator announced that the organization's featherweight champion Daniel Straus will fight former champion Pat Curran at Bellator 112, rather than two-time tournament winner Patricio "Pitbull" Freire, WSoF offered him a title shot in their oganization.
Now WSoF's Abdel-Aziz said Bellator is rife with mismatches.
"I sit down at midnight every night, and I watch a lot of videos. I'm a big fan," Abdel-Aziz told Bleacher Report. "I love this. It's never too much, it never makes me tired...I believe every match we've put on so far has been great except two matches, which, for seven shows, is pretty good."
"The UFC puts on great matches, but you see the guys in Bellator, they put on mismatches all the time. It's ridiculous. There's no entertainment. You see guys go and knock somebody out—there's no competition, and we have to put on equal competition."

While that is true, Bjorn was using Askren as a pawn in this game of wits with the UFC as well. When things didnt pan out with the UFC for Ben, Rebney just dumped him. To me that was an insult to the one guy that was there from beginning to help bring Bellator brand up.

Bellator is starting to go the way of UFC where they care more about how much a fight sells than how much the match up makes sense.
"I'm focused on our business. I'm not focused on call outs."
Says the guy who repeatedly called out the UFC trying to goad them into making GSP fight Ben Askren.
Bjorn Rebney, of all people, should know what's it like being the smaller company trying to make a name for themselves by calling out the bigger company.
I dont think he even gave a justifiable reason as to why Pitbull needs to wait for his title shot. When Pat decisively beat Strauss, Daniel was forced to re-earn that shot through the tourney. Now, when he decisively beat Curran, it should only be fair for Pat to re-earn his shot through tourney while Pitbull gets next crack at it.
Bjorn Rebney talks PPV, WSOF challenge, Tito Ortiz and Pitbull Freire
"I'm fortunate to be the guy who can put on Alvarez vs. Chandler III," said Rebney, after two classic fights, with each winning one. "It'll be a pay-per-view event. I haven't finalized a date for it yet. The first fight they had was the best fight I've ever seen live. The second one was one of the best fights I've ever seen. Some guys stylistically cant help but give you pure magic. We're going to do the third fight, the lightweight title will be on the line. They're both in camp working hard."
Rebney also spoke about a number of other subjects on Monday:
*He wasn't as positive when asked about the future of Tito Ortiz, who turns 39 on Thursday. Ortiz had agreed to come out of retirement to face Quinton "Rampage" Jackson on Nov. 2, only to suffer a fractured neck in training and have the bout canceled.
"It's an unsettling conversation to have a specialist tell you that with the right kind of blow to the neck or spine, paralysis could result," said Rebney. "The concern is still there. But just like any kind of injury he may be able to come back from it. Right now there isn't a definite answer on when he could come back."
*On Ortiz's DWI arrest:
"We take DWI's and drunk driving ridiculously seriously. My hope is that he can put that behind him. Thankfully nobody, including himself, was injured in the situation. It's a serious situation. It's not a joke. It's something we take seriously and that everybody should take seriously."
*On making a Daniel Straus vs. Pat Curran featherweight title rematch instead of giving tournament winner Patricio "Pitbull" Freire the next title shot:
"It's really going to depend on the circumstances. I've got to analyze everything. With the Straus rematch with Curran, I had to balance out a trilogy, the first fight Pat knocked out Daniel, the second fight Daniel grounded out the W. I had to look at those two guys and Pitbull. We can debate this. I see Straus and Curran as two of the top five or six featherweights on the Earth."
*On Freire's unhappiness at not getting the title shot:
"He fought five times on Spike TV in 2013. I appreciate his enthusiasm. To be super clear, he hasn't lost his world title fight. He's getting it against the winner of Straus vs Curran."
*On the challenge put forth by the World Series of Fighting for a night of interpromotional fights, winner-take-all, on pay-per-view:
"Look, and I understand the media likes to talk about this stuff and have fun with it, but the light heavyweight tournament announced today is the most competitive we've ever done. We're bringing a 100 percent healthy Rampage Jackson into a tournament. We're in 140 countries around the world and growing. We announced the Fox alliance, giving us the biggest distribution in Latin America when it comes to MMA. We've got the biggest distribution in the Middle East when it comes to MMA. We're on Spike TV, who wrote the book on distribution of MMA. I'm focused on our business. I'm not focused on call outs."
@Rampage4real: Soon the world will see why I left the #UFightCheap and join Viacom,Spike tv,TNA and Bellator.

If your like me, when you changed out your SL-2000s, they wound up sitting on a shelf gathering dust. Like all spare parts I wind up with, I figure I'll use them somewhere. Well today I finally found a use for a pair of SL-2000s. I picked up a pair of Bozak Sonoras a couple of weeks ago. Not a bad bookshelf speaker, decent bass, really nice mids, but the high end was very tinny and grating. I changed out the cap to a Dayton film which helped a little bit, but not enough.
So the other day I got the idea I might try retrofitting a pair of SL-2000s to the Bozaks. I did a little research and found that the crossover points were very close, as were the values of the caps. This afternoon I pulled the Bozak tweeters to make sure the would physically fit without doing to much modification to the baffle. I found that fitting the SL-2000s would be very simple and went ahead and mounted them. Buttoned everything back up and sat down for a listen.
I know the SL-2000 has it's faults, but it sounds a lot better than the original in this application. Now the Bozaks have a nice smooth high end that integrates nicely with the woofer. They have a sound that reminds me of JBL monitors, clear and detailed, and kind of up front and in your face. I need to do some more listening, but what I've heard so far I like.

Focus: Program Development
Read more. I know it sounds like something you might see on a bookmobile poster, but seriously, read more. There are so many tools for writing stuff, and so many places to distribute what we write, that the appeal of writing is getting dangerous. Meanwhile, reading isn't getting any easier.
The first high-level advice every programmer gets is "Don't write what you can reuse." Good, but you need to read in order to learn what to reuse. Effective code reuse isn't just a matter of "I need SSL, so I'll do a search on +ssl +library." Congratulations, you found OpenSSL, but how did you know SSL would help you? Because, not having lived in a cave for the last ten years, you read about it somewhere. What else—maybe something not as famous as SSL—could you use? If you don't read, you'll never learn and just end up writing it yourself.
Brian Behlendorf once wrote, "The world needs less software." That doesn't mean we shouldn't write software if we have to, just that we shouldn't write it for the wrong reasons. At first it's more fun to write your own thing than to grovel through and understand somebody else's, but someday that nifty new thing will be the stuff you wrote a long time ago and are sick of maintaining. Learn to reuse and you're learning to make other people do work for you.
A contributor to one project's mailing list asked the question, "Should I get in the credits list for a patch that only removes code?" It was a GUI project, and the patch made a dialog box use some default layout settings instead of a tightly-controlled but broken layout. Of course you should get in the credits list for removing code. You made the program better and smaller at the same time. And you provided an example for others. Removing code can take more understanding and skill than adding it, and people who can do it successfully should be at the top of the credits list.
Remember XCoffee? It was a great idea—a special-purpose server application that just serves up coffee pictures over the Net and a special-purpose client application that just displayed coffee pictures. Pretty advanced for its time, but just coffee pictures? And just one picture per instance of the client? The original XCoffee got replaced with a web site—no special client software, it works on clients without X, and all the hard-to-get-right network stuff is handled by the web server. If you knew of a general solution that let you slaughter your offspring, would you do it?
Speaking of reading, what's in this issue? Until something better comes along, if you want to do source code control, or browse many projects' development code that hasn't been officially released, you need to know CVS. Ralph Krause gives you the basics on page PAGE.
Memory management errors cause everything from the first segmentation fault in your first C program to security flaws that destroy entire companies. Improve your memory-fu by reading up on helpful free tools, some of which are built into the GNU C library. Petr Sorfa explains memory management and memory troubleshooting on page PAGE.
If you're a crusty old UNIX bastard who's been with us since issue one, you're probably getting set to scoff when we mention anything having to do with integrated development environments. So you go scoff over there while I tell these nice people about KDevelop and Glade.
On page PAGE Mitch Chapman introduces Glade, a fun tool that lets you break out GUI design from coding. Point and click to design the GTK interface, and write the code separately. Best of all, he's using Python for the examples, which fits nicely into the exciting new "use an object-oriented scripting language for the stuff that doesn't have to be fast" coding philosophy.
Not to exclude the KDE side of the desktop wars, Petr Sorfa explains KDevelop on page PAGE in the Product Review section. Naturally, as a KDE application, it's focused on C++ and Qt, and for a C++ programmer, to try the Qt GUI toolkit is to love it. Qt has an aesthetic cleanliness about it that C++ people seem to find difficult to express in words, but that's okay. KDevelop integrates with CVS—very neato—and with Qt Designer, which as you might guess is a user-interface design tool for Qt (look for an article on Qt in our next issue).
Have fun with these development tools, but don't forget to take a break from coding and read something.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

"The customer service was above and beyond! After I submitted my order I received a phone call from them saying they could adjust some touch ups that I overlooked. I really appreciated it!!!"
"I used this birth announcement as my daughters 9 month pictures for family and friends! I loved it! The only draw back to this card was the size restraint on the text. The program kept me from making the text larger, which in turn made the text difficult to read in some areas. And when I got the product I could see that there was plenty of room for more space in the text area."
"I already knew I had a beautiful photo to use, so I was just hoping that the quality of the print would be just as good...and it was!! I was extremely happy with the quality of the print, the thickness of the card and the size of the card. I was also grateful for the tip on using a regular size envelope to save on postage. Overall I am extremely happy with my prints."
"I can't say enough about the birth announcement. My mom said it was the best one she had ever received. I would highly recommend this. The print and paper quality were excellent."
"Love the design. Tiny prints was great to work with. I asked for feedback from their designers regarding a photo in my proof and was given actual feedback. They made the suggestion to change a photo due to resolution and I'm so glad. The birth announcement turned out better than I hoped. I will definitely be using them again."

Nearly a decade ago, when Hurricane Floyd dumped up to 2 feet of rain on Eastern North Carolina, rescue teams pulled residents of the Pinecrest Mobile Home Park in Greenville from their flooded homes.
Thursday, teams from around the state returned to the site, now a barren training ground, to practice using a helicopter, ropes and harnesses to pluck people from the tops of cars, buses and buildings.
The training, as the height of hurricane season approaches, was organized by the state Division of Emergency Management and included fire departments from Cary, Chapel Hill, Durham and Raleigh.
State officials say the skills and experience of local search and rescue teams have improved since 1999, when most had little or no training helping people in flooded homes or cars.

Gillette, WY – The federal Bureau of Land Management is
seeking comment on a draft environmental impact statement regarding a proposed expansion of the Cordero Rojo coal mine.
The northeastern Wyoming mine is operated by Rio Tinto Energy America, formerly known as Kennecott Energy Company.
Mike Karbs works for the B-L-M in Casper. He says the company wants to expand so it can maintain production at current levels.
The lease would cover more than 22-hundred acres and about 230 (M) million tons of coal.
Public comment is being accepted through July 25th. A public hearing is scheduled for June 13th in Gillette.

Halah Touryalai, Forbes Staff
I stalk Wall Street. Stopping short of phone hacking, of course.
Some of Wall Street's top executives including Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase and James Gorman of Morgan Stanley are having a rough few weeks. It may not be surprising then that they both hold one of the worst jobs for your health.
Corporate executives have plenty responsibility and pressure to perform, and with that comes long hours and stress. According to a report from health.com that makes the job one of the worst in terms of a healthy lifestyle.
"We know that too many hours at work takes away hours that could be used for health-promoting activities. Often senior leaders have these very driven, Type-A personalities—something that's already associated with increased heart disease risk," L. Casey Chosewood, MD, senior medical officer for the Total Worker Health program at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health tells health.com.
JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley employees (as well as a plethora of other employees across the country) aren't much better off. Turns out those with nine-to-five desk jobs are also on the list for having the worst jobs for health. Why? "Sitting all day has been linked to back pain, repetitive stress injuries, obesity, an increased risk of heart disease, and a shorter lifespan—even among people who squeeze in exercise before or after work," health.com notes.
Of course corporate execs and desk jockeys have nothing on enlisted soldiers, police officers and firefighters who are also on the "worst" list for obvious reasons.
There is good news for some in the financial crowd. Insurance workers are on the list of best jobs for your health. The reason is quite simple. From health.com
Employer-sponsored health insurance is a key part of workplace health, so companies in the business have a leg up…Actuaries, who often work as statistical analysts for insurance companies, were ranked second in CareerCast's Best Jobs 2012 list, due to its low level of stress and physical demands. The job also earned a spot on Monster.com's 2012 Best Careers for Right Now list because of its low unemployment levels—a sure boost for workers' emotional health.
The bright side for anyone on either of these lists is that they're employed. After today's dismal jobs report having a job is a bit of a miracle in itself.
Many more cab drivers and convenience store clerks are murdered per capita than police officers.
But, due to a lack of publicity and union backing it is the police who receive the much higher pay and MANY more benefits AND a multitude of charities soliciting donations from the public to remit funds to the families of deceased police.
Oh, hogwash. There's plenty of evidence that people with higher social status live longer and are healthier, as shown by the famous British Whitehall Study. This may be because social status is good for us, because being in control reduces stress, or just because having more resources means being healthier. The idea that corporate executives are sacrificing their health for their jobs strikes me as unlikely. The execs I've met during more than a decade here certainly strike me as a healthy group.
I have to agree. An executive I know would spend at least an hour a day in his basement with a punching bag. He's fit (and scary), trust me.
True words.
Soldiers, Police, Firefighters/EMTs, TEACHERS! Get real!!! We don't get 2hr lunches, 6 digit salaries, and business expense accounts.CEOs got it tough?!?!?! They get WELL compensated!
If you can read this, don't thank a CEO.
1. Soldiers, 2. Police, 3. Firefighters/EMTs, 4. TEACHERS!
Get real!!!
The first 3 risk their very lives. Enough said and THANK GOD FOR YOU!!!!
But #4s don't get 2hr lunches, 6 digit salaries, and business expense accounts.
CEOs got it tough?!?!?!
They get WELL compensated!
Don't get me wrong I am a capitalist to the core, but,
If you can read this, don't thank a CEO.
I'll trade his stress (and compensation), for my 50 hours a week breathing steel dust,. arsenic, barium and diesel fuel. Especially since his republican buddies are right now voting to strip away my pension.
So whadya say Jamie?
Just wanted to let you know that I used this article as a vest pocket piece for a post I did yesterday on one of the healthiest things you can do for yourself (or your employees) at work. Thought together they made an interesting combination…
It's not the jobs themselves that are stressful, it is our emotional reactions to them that are stressful. Our doctors never tell us this because they are also unconscious of it. Learn to control your reactions at work to people and situations and watch your stress fade away. Learning to control our attitudes and maintaining a positive inner outlook regardless of what is happening at work is also a stress buster.
The person who put the comment about clerks making no money and have the most dangerous job is correct. The public unions that push the police and fireman having the most dangerous jobs are not correct at all. There are many jobs that are dangerous for people but they do not have the unions behind them or the excitment of the job to truly tell the story. Bottom line is that LIFE IS NOT FAIR.

The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Robinson Cano and Curtis Granderson each hit a pair of homers, powering the New York Yankees past the Boston Red Sox 14-2 on a raucous Wednesday night in the Bronx for their 13th AL East title in 17 years.
In front of fans poised to party from the first pitch, the Yankees completed a three-game sweep of the last-place Red Sox to win their second consecutive division crown. The championship was locked up by the seventh inning, when Baltimore's 4-1 loss at Tampa bay went final.
Nationals secure home field: NL East champion Washington secured home-field advantage throughout the postseason by beating Philadelphia 5-1 on Wednesday for their major league-high 98th victory.
Nationals manager Davey Johnson missed the end of the game after feeling numbness in his left leg, leaving the dugout to get X-rays and treatment from a team doctor. Johnson — at 69, the oldest skipper in the majors — said he does not expect to have any trouble traveling or managing in the playoffs.
By winning their regular-season finale, the Nationals clinched top seeding for the NL playoffs and will open on the road Sunday at the winner of Friday's wild-card game between Atlanta and St. Louis. Game 2 will also be at the wild-card winner's stadium, before the best-of-five series shifts to Washington.
Rays 4, Orioles 1: Evan Longoria homered three times and the Rays beat Baltimore, ending the Orioles' bid to force a one-game tiebreaker for the AL East title.
The loss left the Orioles as a wild-card team. They'll play Friday at Texas, with the winner advancing to the division series.

Plot step response and return plot handle
h = stepplot(sys)
stepplot(..., plotoptions)
stepplot(..., dataoptions)
h = stepplot(sys) plots the step response of the dynamic system model sys. It also returns the plot handle h. You can use this handle to customize the plot with the getoptions and setoptions commands. Type
help timeoptions
for a list of available plot options.
For multiinput models, independent step commands are applied to each input channel. The time range and number of points are chosen automatically.
stepplot(sys,Tfinal) simulates the step response from t = 0 to the final time t = Tfinal. Express Tfinal in the system time units, specified in the TimeUnit property of sys. For discrete-time systems with unspecified sampling time (Ts = -1), stepplot interprets Tfinal as the number of sampling intervals to simulate.
stepplot(sys,t) uses the user-supplied time vector t for simulation. Express t in the system time units, specified in the TimeUnit property of sys. For discrete-time models, t should be of the form Ti:Ts:Tf, where Ts is the sample time. For continuous-time models, t should be of the form Ti:dt:Tf, where dt becomes the sample time of a discrete approximation to the continuous system (see step). The stepplot command always applies the step input at t=0, regardless of Ti.
To plot the step responses of multiple models sys1,sys2,... on a single plot, use:
You can also specify a color, line style, and marker for each system, as in
stepplot(AX,...) plots into the axes with handle AX.
stepplot(..., plotoptions) customizes the plot appearance using the options set, plotoptions. Use timeOptions to create the options set.
stepplot(..., dataoptions) specifies options such as the step amplitude and input offset using the options set, dataoptions. Use stepDataOptions to create the options set.
Use the plot handle to normalize the responses on a step plot.
sys = rss(3); h = stepplot(sys); % Normalize responses. setoptions(h,'Normalize','on');
Compare the step response of a parametric identified model to a non-parametric (empirical) model, and view their 3-σ confidence regions.
load iddata1 z1
for parametric model
sys1 = ssest(z1,4);
non-parametric model
sys2 = impulseest(z1); t = -1:0.1:5; h = stepplot(sys1,sys2,t); showConfidence(h,3)
The non-parametric model sys2 shows higher uncertainty.
Plot the step response of a nonlinear (Hammerstein-Wiener) model using a starting offset of 2 and step amplitude of 0.5.
load twotankdata z = iddata(y, u, 0.2, 'Name', 'Two tank system'); sys = nlhw(z, [1 5 3], pwlinear, poly1d); dataoptions = stepDataOptions('InputOffset', 2, 'StepAmplitude', 0.5); stepplot(sys,60,dataoptions);
You can change the properties of your plot, for example the units. For information on the ways to change properties of your plots, see Ways to Customize Plots.

EVERYBODY'S BROTHER: My Story
By CeeLo Green
With Big Gipp and David Wild
Grand Central Publishing
Publication date: September 10, 2013
$28.00 | Hardcover | ISBN: 978-1455516674
My Story
By CeeLo Green
CeeLo (who seems to be moving toward single-name status) is a funny guy with a colorful story to share… [EVERYBODY'S BROTHER is] an 'only in America' story with Horatio Alger as a rapper and neo-soul singer."
—Kirkus Reviews
"Brassy, often snarky, and totally madcap, Cee Lo mouths off in this ribald tell-all, to the enjoyment of his fans and newbies everywhere."
—Publishers Weekly
CeeLo Green dresses as Liberace, performs with the Muppets, and does 360-degree flips with a grand piano at his fingertips. He's a coach on the #1-rated network reality show, The Voice, and is a genre-breaking artist who has garnered millions of fans over his music career releasing albums as Goodie Mob, Gnarls Barkley and of course as CeeLo Green himself. He has largely remained a man of Mystery…until now.
CeeLo Green has penned his first memoir, or as he refers to it, a "psychedelic fable," entitled EVERYBODY'S BROTHER: My Story by CeeLo Green with Big Gipp and David Wild [Grand Central Publishing | $28.00 | Hardcover], which is being released on September 10th, 2013. In the memoir, the Grammy Award winner finally reveals his remarkable personal story including tales from his childhood, his search to find his voice and how he maintained his individuality while rising to the top. At times gritty, yet always truthful, EVERYBODY'S BROTHER illustrates how CeeLo Green created the artist who he is today, despite circumstances beyond his control. Threaded through with hope, inspiration, and real advice, along with anecdotes and revealing insights from CeeLo's childhood friend, Goodie Mob band-member and "brother from another mother" Big Gipp, EVERYBODY'S BROTHER shows how CeeLo found the power in his own voice, and defied the odds time and time again. Filled with exclusive pictures from CeeLo's childhood, plus images documenting each stage in his life and career, this new memoir truly tells the real story of CeeLo Green from day one to today. Both in his tone and in his look, EVERYBODY'S BROTHER is a theatrical and inspiring artistic statement that perfectly captures its memorable, maverick author.
As CeeLo writes in the book's introduction:
"I write this book not just to celebrate my own voice and to revel in my own success story, but to help encourage the next generation of underdogs to listen closely to the voices in their own heads, so that maybe someday they can rise up and share their own voices with the world too."
A member of the Goodie Mob and the front-member to Gnarls Barkley (winner of two 2007 Grammys and known for their #1 hit "Crazy"), CeeLo Green was born in Atlanta and helped turn the city into the center of a major hip-hop/rap revolution. He is a multi-award winning musician, as well as one of the celebrity coaches on NBC's #1 reality television show The Voice.
Big Gipp helped CeeLo start his music career when he introduced him to the members of the Goodie Mob when CeeLo was just 17. They have been brothers ever since. In addition to being a member of Goodie Mob, Gipp also has a solo career and has contributed to several collaborations with other artists over the years.
David Wild is a New York Times bestselling author, a contributing editor to Rolling Stone, and an Emmy-nominated television writer and producer, as well as a popular blogger for Huffington Post and a frequent television commentator about popular music. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two sons.
Also available in downloadable and e-book (978-1455516681) formats.

Good Clinical Practice (GCP): FDA-regulated Clinical Trials
Adherence to the principles of good clinical practices (GCPs), including adequate human subject protection (HSP) is universally recognized as a critical requirement to the conduct of research involving human subjects. Many countries have adopted GCP principles as laws and/or regulations. The Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) regulations for the conduct of clinical trials, which have been in effect since the 1970s, address both GCP and HSP. These FDA regulations and guidance documents are accessible from the FDA web site. International GCP Guidance documents on which FDA has collaborated and that have been adopted as official FDA guidance are also available.
