When we learned of these majestic creatures, what else could we do? Such potential!
Clockwork angels. Servants of the Mechanogod Whrrrm.
They have no souls, but they live. They are formless, but they walked. They are unseen, but they reveals. They walk the dark plains, but they show the lights. And they were given a chance to choose side. And yet, they chose righteous. And that's the Farons. Creature that walks the void realm.
Kalraka Dzeik is a sentient lightning storm with a following of cultists. It has much in common with a natural disaster or a plague; it starts at a single point but spreads like wildfire if given the chance. It is capable of terrible destruction, and will take heroic effort to stop, if it can be stopped at all.
The unnatural offspring of a zombie father and a human mother.
"I take it ye've ne'er fought a Semblance. Nasty undead fiends they be. 'course, they don't look undead. They don't have gleamin' bones, or rottin' flesh. No, sir! The Semblance looks just like you or me. Except for when its tryin' ta get you. I take it ye've ne'er fought a Semblance. If you had, you'd be dead."
-Old Gerald, man in the pub
It is easy to assign Autobot and Decepticon like race or nationality, when it is much more a matter of political pursuasion.
...And 'lo, the days of Bennu drew to a close, and he built himself a pyre from which to be reborn in cleansing fire. But trickery snared his form, blackening radiant feathers to twilight...
Beard grooming is a life-long process divided between two schools of thought: harsh mineral treatments or more the natural approach. The popular naturalist approach requires beard-spiders that live off lice, fleas and other small insects.
Ingo Takamoto was first a foremost a dog lover, but was also a brilliant geneticist
Those attuned with magic and nature can use this plant to quickly identify what might be traveling or living in its area by their footfalls.
"O'er the Wall Mounts there's this race of creatures. They look humanoid, but big. Mebbe 15, 20 feet tall? There all covered in this hair. Most of the species' hair is an auburn, but theres some that are black or blonde or brown. There faces look kinda like a cat face. The eyes are always one solid color, but the colors differ, like with humans. But the thing that makes them special is that they milk our females, like we milk cows. They breed 'em. They treat us like cattle. They even breed out the aggressiveness and intelligence."
-Old Gerald, man in the pub
Everyone had the nerve to look surprised when the androids starting forming their own society, and started telling humans to stick it, including calling them 'false men'.
Prophesies exist for a reason, legends of dragons destroying the lands and violent struggles for survival often have a grain of truth to them. The Plague Dragons grain of truth is large, angry, and due to return sooner than anyone is ready.
"Aye, lad, the Great Tree- its got a branch in each world, and each branch is a world. If one were to find the place this world, this branch, met the main trunk, like I did, they could go to them other worlds. 'Course, you'd be some kinda poison, or, or, disease to the Tree, and that damn tree got one hell of an immune system. When me an' me buddies entered her trunk, she put up one hell of a fight. We fought for hours through every protection system she had, and all to get lost is this world fulla strange elves who glamoured us, trying to keep us as pets. We barely got back." -Old Gerald, man in the pub
Borrowed shamelessly from Norse mythology (see Yggdrassil, the World Tree), the Great Tree both connects and is worlds.
Also known as "The Ravager," Chimera Prototype Mk-XXIII is an example of man's hubris. What was supposed to benefit the last bastions of wealth and power in a dying world has become an unstoppable force of destruction.
The sun rises over the city. The great skyscraper's silhouettes from the fresh beams appear almost golden. The city is waking up, with the morning's half asleep citizens going about their daily routines. Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts open up, and revel in the influx of business. People head to work. The clocktower chimes, signaling the time of 9:00. But then a great shadow blocks out the sun. And the citizens of this metropolis start to scream as they are lifted up bodily by these beasts. An hour full of terror and screams goes by. And then another. And when the clocktower chimes again, signaling the time of 11:00, no one heard it. They had all been carried away. There were no flaming wrecks, nor collapsed buildings, as any other giant monster would leave. Simply empty streets, and a forbidding silence.
A short sidebar of encounter information for the fel Shadowbeasts.
A tree was given as a gift at one time to a city. Every year the tree is the center of a large parade as the tree is towed by oxen or large horses in a large wagon through town.

Adam & Eve all the way.
The story line here is simple. Brooke's husband is a photographer for a skin mag and is constantly surrounded by hot young (and naked) models. Every shoot starts off innocently enough, until, well, you pretty much know what happens.
Lauren Phoenix, sex goddess extraordinaire, struts her bodacious ass like nobody's business in a kitchen scene. In a mesh one-piece number, she is fucking hot. She just slightly bends her body to suck, get eaten and finally succumb her sexy body to the crew's sexual whims. She may not be behind the camera, but she's certainly the one in charge.

If you are looking to replace or revive your home's exterior with a stamped concrete overlay, then you need to contact a decorative concrete contractor.Instead of replacing the company walkway or the household driveway with expensive natural materials, contact a decorative concrete contractor who will help you create the artistic exterior you've of which you have been dreaming. Homeowners and business owners often ask whether a stamped concrete overlay can really mimic the appearance of cobbles, brick, wood, and pavers. The answer is that aesthetically, the look mimics natural materials for a fraction of the cost. When you use a professional-concrete-company, you'll reap the many benefits that a decorative concrete contractor and concrete have to offer.
Hiring a good contractor is the major issue. When you're looking for good contractors, you need:
. A licensed contractor
. A local contractor in your area
. A reputable firm
. Preferably, a member of the Better Business Bureau
. Examples of the contractor's work
. Consultancy services, to help you manage specific problems
. Design services, particularly if you're doing an upgrade on your home
. A full range of construction services, including paving and exterior upgrade services
You will find your assistance just with a little search over net as almost all the established concrete businesses have their online presence to address and attain their huge client base. Direct referrals are always a good way to find a reliable concrete contractor, however, in case you don't find any, just pay a visit to the online directories. As soon as you post the job requirements to the directories potential service providers start appearing with their project quotes. So, if you are looking forward to ornate your construction, just get online now and find an efficient concrete contractor there.
One important thing you must consider while hiring a concrete contractor is whether the contractor has a valid insurance or not, because it is essential for the service provider to carry current liability and compensation insurance for your security benefit. There are different contractors having specialties in particular type of concrete works. So you must also ensure that the particular service provider you are hiring has enough experience to the specific type of concrete service you want them to do for you. It is therefore always wise to talk to the professionals in person before making a final deal.
Word of mouth and shaking hands are never a professional way to handle a contracting job. You must get a written contract that includes the concrete materials required, the time frame and the complete cost of the project. This is for the future reference if the project goes any wrong by any means. So, get online now and find a concrete contractor carefully considering the above mentioned factors to get the job done the best possible way.

Why did Shostakovich not release his 4th, but did release his 5th symphony? (The 4th was released eventually, just not when it was written)
As far as I can remember, the fourth is far more experimental in character. Considering the restrictions of the cultural climate in the USSR at that time, the fourth would probably not have been deemed as suitable for publication.

Vision-based robot localization in outdoor environments is difficult because of changing illumination conditions. Another problem is the rough and cluttered environment which makes it hard to use visual features that are not rotation invariant. A popular method that is rotation invariant and relatively robust to changing illumination is the Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT). However, due to the computationally intensive feature extraction and image matching, localization using SIFT is slow. On the other hand, techniques which use global image features are in general less robust and exact than SIFT, but are often much faster due to fast image matching. In this paper, we present a hybrid localization approach that switches between local and global image features. For most images, the hybrid approach uses fast global features. Only in difficult situations, e.g. containing strong illumination changes, the hybrid approach switches to local features. To decide which features to use for an image, we analyze the particle cloud of the particle filter that we use for position estimation. Experiments on outdoor images taken under varying illumination conditions show that the position estimates of the hybrid approach are about as exact as the estimates of SIFT alone. However, the average localization time using the hybrid approach is more than 3.5 times faster than using SIFT.

For those who have already found the Mermaid, she now has a new pet. It is a hand carved stamp. This should be logged as a seperate stamp.
Our little Mermaid is very shy. She lives off Interstate 20 in Florence not too far from an area called Five Points (where six roads meet). Go south on Cherokee. Turn right onto Edisto, make another right onto Hillside Drive. Jeffries Creek Nature Park will be on your right. Park at the Wisteria entrance and enter the park. At the playground go left, go across the bridge and walk until you cross two bridges. At the fork, turn left until the paths meet again. Veer left and walk until you can cross the concrete bridge. Walk to the gate (another entrance), look around to the right and you will see some stubby stone towers. FIrst you will pass by 1 large tower keep walking and you'll pass 2 sets of 1 large tower and 1 small tower. Soon you will come to a set of 2 large towers. Beside the towers, you will see a rotten tree laying on the ground. The mermaid and her new pet are hiding behine the log. Be careful to replace everything as you found it and not let anyone see you find the box.

hello every body,
Infact this is an interesting topic to talk about and I would like to show my opinion about this topic. I think that the new generation should not waste the advanced technology and and try to use it in the proper way to improve and create something that will lead us to a wonderful future. Also, the new generations cann't develope them selves without the guide of older generations and they should learn from older generations mistakes.Therefore, the new generations should thank the older generations and try to develope and improve what onlder generations could not develope or improve.
Best Regards

Can the semaphore be lower than 0? I mean, say I have a semaphore with N=3 and I call "down" 4 times, then N will remain 0 but one process will be blocked?
And same the other way, if in the beginning I call up, can N be higher than 3? Because as I see it, if N can be higher than 3 if in the beginning I call up couple of times, then later on I could call down more times than I can, thus putting more processes in the critical section then the semaphore allows me.
If someone would clarify it a bit for me I will much appreciate.

Skip to comments.Baal, Jupiter, and other God(s) of Romney's LDS sect of Mormonism.
Posted on 10/29/2011 10:14:55 AM PDT by SENTINEL
click here to read article
I'm not a Mormon, but...
But he plays one on T.V.?
The Bible says that Jesus has always been God (John 1:1-14), and there is only one God in existence (Is. 44:6). However, the Mormon Church teaches that God the Father is a resurrected human man who is a married being who has "spirit children" in Heaven. Mormonism teaches that every human being born on this earth was first born in Heaven to God and one of his wives. Accordingly, Jesus was also born in the pre-existence to God the Father and one of his wives in heaven, just like all other human and demonic beings.
The plurality of Elohim is in reference to the God head of God the Father The Holy Spirit and Jesus. It is not in reference to multiple gods making mankind.
Is Dallin Oaks explaining to Obama how to become "white and delightsome"?
(Good Q)
I was speaking to the religious threads that slam a particular religion quite religiously. I never said FR is vile, ever [Flaglady again]
I think JR, and the rest of us as well, flaglady, can read plainly -- and know what a "forum" is in the context of FR postings. We don't need your "afterspin" to duck poster accountability.
Besides, to accuse religious posters of engaging in "spewing" and "hatred" is itself "spewing" and "slamming" and bashing.
I always "love" it when the supposedly "tolerant" "I'm too good for spewing and slamming and bashing" religious posters come online and refute themselves by engaging in spewing and slamming and bashing religious posters -- like you've just done.
If you preach tolerance, then you should be tolerating what we say. If you don't believe in being tolerant, then continue to bash away. You confuse us by preaching a certain standard -- and then showing by your words that you don't practice it.
We have religious convictions, too. Why aren't tolerant of what we say? Why are you intolerant/bigoted toward them? By your own standards, you should welcome what we say with open arms.
Or do you find that you draw the line somewhere -- just like we draw the line somewhere...and just like mainstream Mormons draw the line somewhere? Hmmm...
The Mormon "prophet" Hinckley -- went on the Larry King show in 1998 to claim: "Fundamentalist Mormons are not Mormons."
Tell us Flaglady...doesn't that "rile" you up? Wasn't Hinckley "guilty" of "spewing" and "slamming" "hatred" vs. fundamentalist Mormons by trying to wipe them off the face of the earth?
If you're so gung-ho "tolerant" for religious minorities, where are you in defending the fundy polygamists?
You & the rest of the mainstream Mormon allies always seem to be AWOL when it comes to defending the fundamentalist Mormons. Why? Therefore, since I don't see you rallying behind them, then I'm not sure how anybody could get riled up -- without also getting riled up @ Hinckley re: his statement, "Mormons are not Christians."
The LDS don't like fLDS being "lumped" in with them.
Likewise, Christians don't like Mormons counterfeiting themselves with a "Christian" identity.
We actually -- like the Jews -- eschew polytheism...which is embraced by Mormons.
We seek to establish clearer "boundaries" of what it means to be a Christian.
Elsewise, if polytheist Mormons are Christians, well, then, why not polytheist, polygamist fundamentalist Mormons as well? All of you who are "pro-Mormons"...are you consistent? Are you willing to call fundamentalist polygamist Mormons "Christian," too? If not, why not?
And why even stop there? Why don't we just run all religious bodies together & conclude a fundamentalist Mormon-is-a-Mormon-is-a-Christian-is-a-Jonestownite-is-a-Branch-Davidian-is-a-Heavens-Gate-ian-is-a-Urantia believer-is a Church Universal & Triumphant-is-a-Wicca-Witch-is-Voodoo practioner-is-a-New-Ager-is-a-whirling dervish-is-a-Hindu-is-a-Sikh-is-a-Muslim?!!
Y'all didn't realize that Muslims = "Christians" per Mormonism's PR campaign, now did ya?
Finally, it's so sad to see Mormon allies like you attack the uniqueness of Christianity -- trying to make distinctives so fuzzy.
The violence in today's world does not harken back to a Mormon threat or that of the Church of LDS!
Look around the world and you must see that wherever, 'life and liberty' is threatened; it has Muslim jihadist name attached - or that of a Demrat /Marxist/Communist Leftie - or - just an Obama, Inc. label.
Christian/ Western/ Greek enlightenment; is our MO for our Western ' Civilization;, and Mormon's certainly share that heritage. (Whereas; those who are embedded with totalitarian-minded MO's; Marxist or Muslim; do not/can and never will not.)
(Have never feared a Mormon neighbor or seat-mate on a plane. Nor, for that matter; feared a Mormon, knocking on my door per their spiritual mission.
Have; OTOH; had frightening experiences with radical-minded ROP Reps. Not to mention, America's - and the world's - daily and collective, suffering per Islamic Jihad missions, that touch all areas of our planet.
Bottom line; and IMHO; we have enough real enemies in the world; without casting more, who do not deserve such ascription.
We do not have to fear a 'Mormon threat' in the civilized world; anymore than we fear a Baptist - or a Catholic - or those Jewish, for that matter; for their wanting to change our world by violence so as to usurp our rights to personal Liberty while being forced to adhere to a totalitarian mindset.
Think important to realize most critically, today; just WHO is the enemy of 'life, liberty...and our pursuit of happiness.
It is NOT the Mormons next door!
"and know what a "forum" is in the context of FR postings. We don't need your "afterspin" to duck poster accountability"
Heres a thought: then stay out of the religion forum.
This is the statement that I responded to that was made to me. What does it say? It says religion "forum". Hence my reply using the word forum as in religion forum. Put your specs on.
"Mormons believe Baal and Jupiter helped create the universe."
Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints believe that Jesus Christ, the Great Jehovah of the Old Testament, is the Creator of the universe.
There are people other than Catholics that are biblically orthodox. That was hardly a catholic smear. Try a Christian one.
Newbies pimping Mitt Rino is getting tired.
A nice Mormon lady tried to recruit me to the religion, and I was told I couldnt drink coffee anymore, Coke, or a glass of beer or an occasional glass of wine.
I told her I would get back to her ..
Sorry those are deal breakers for me.

There is your problem. Posting to yourself. ZOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.
Of course Christianity is monotheistic....
If the facts of your chosen religion are such an issue perhaps there is a reason.
Not to speak for my good FRiend but I would guess the "principles" they could not live with may have been the "lying for the lord" or the supporting a "church" that maligns Christ or defending a "Book" that has been proven to be a fraud, not "scripture". I am sure the list could go on...
You JUST got here noob....You must be a frail old 98 yr. old...if you are tired already.
It isn't suggested. It is a fact.
That remark was SO typically "superior mormon" that isn't really worth responding to.
IMO, that is the primary reason that so many find Mitt disgusting...he carries that "I'm so much better than you" attitude into everything he does, including showing it during the debates.
We see it quite often among certain mormons here, especially the resident "scold" who feels free to even scold the site owner from her lofty perch.
One reason I'm happy I don't have to deal with mormons IRL.
Truth in advertising time again.
According to mormon teachings from the book of abraham
"They went down at the beginning, and they, that is, the Gods, organized and formed the heavens and the earth." (boa, ch 4)
Nothing about Jesus here SD
Perhaps you can explain why there are sooo many accounts from mormonism SD?
There is a God, and he hath created all things, both the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are (2 Nephi 2:14).
We believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who created heaven and earth, and all things (Mosiah 4:2).
And now, behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and the only and true doctrine of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, which is one God, without end (2 Nephi 31:21; see also Alma 11:44; Mormon 7:7; D&C 20:28).
And by the word of my power, have I created them, which is mine Only Begotten Son, who is full of grace and truth. And worlds without number have I created; and I also created them for mine own purpose; and by the Son I created them, which is mine Only Begotten (Moses 1:32-33).
So what is it SD - was it a group of gods, a god, a god-in-training?
And why does this mormon Jehovah fail to recognize any other god beside himself - even heavenly father.
Jesus left the tomb before the stone was rolled away. He appeared outisde the tomb to the women coming to apply spices to what they supposed would be a dead body. He appeared to the Disciples in a locked and shuttered room. He appeared along the road and walked with two, then broke bread with them and vanished. He appeared to more than 500 at one time. He ascended into Heaven. Entering Mary's womb as a zygote aged human would be no problem for such an One, or being born from that womb without passing down the birth canal for that matter. The problem is not the story as passed down to us, it is the unwillingness to believe God's Promises and thus believe Jesus died for our Sins and rose again the third day.
Genesis 1:1 says in the literal Hebrew, "In the beginning, the Gods created..." The term is Elohiym, the plural of Eloah or God.
How Phariseeical of you. Even your righteousness is as filthy rags before him. Comments like this could only come from a works righteous heretic. Speak no more of righteousness through the works of men, but rely only on the sanctification of the blood of Christ.
God saved me, and you are mocking Him and His work.
Denying you your cover up of well documented facts is not hatred. It is love for those you are trying to deceive.
Embarrassed by what your founders said and did ? Maybe you should consider abandoning them.
There is not one single word or act of Christ that I am ashamed of, or that I try to cover up.
Your scriptures say otherwise, lawyer. Enough said.
You simply MUST watch this video series if you have any interest in this at all. It is available free on youtube on "TheFuelProject" page in 15 minute increments, or available for purchase for about $30 at theapologeticsgroup.com. It is everything your will ever need to know about "Mystery Babylon", from Genesis, to Revelation, and what it means to us today.
I was born into it, raised in it, worked and suffered for it until the age of 35 when I was saved from it.
"Embarrassed by what your founders said and did ? Maybe you should consider abandoning them."
Too bad I'm not a Mormon. Kind of puts the lie to your above statement. My family is Catholic on my father's side, and Lutheran on the other side. I was baptized first as a Lutheran, and then when I got married, became Catholic. So nice try, no soap. But you believe what you want to believe. No skin off of my back.
I'll take a look at it. Thanks.
Nimrod is mentioned in the Bible as the great-grandson of Noah and the son of Cush. More here about him.
"In some versions (as in Flavius Josephus), Nimrod is a man who sets his will against that of God. In others, he proclaims himself a god and is worshipped as such by his subjects, sometimes with his consort Semiramis worshipped as a goddess at his side. (See also Ninus.)"
Women usually aren't mentioned in the Bible unless they've played some direct and important role.
Their son, Tammuz, was a Babylonian god and even one of the months of the Jewish calendar came to named after him!
Take the time to research the pagan origins of the American holidays like Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and others and you'll find they almost always lead back to them.
Thanks for the info.
I guess my problem with this hypotheses is that it is not in the Bible. At least clearly enough for me. I do not doubt the classical and Jewish sources exist, but it seems mythological, as it is not Biblical. Doesn't mean it's not so, though.
Nimrod was killed at the command of and by the "priests" of his wife Semiramis. The mythical belief is that he was re-incarnated and came out of the sea as a fish-god named Dagon. Dagon is all over in the bible.
Here is a pic of one of the many carvings of dagon, and you can make your own decision on where that tradition had influence.
Then, of course, you are NOT a lifelong former Mormon.
I was a lifelong mormon until I was saved 4 years ago at the age of 36. If I said anything different I made a mistake, although I couldn't locate one. If you've found incorrect grammar that led you to believe otherwise, let me save you some time and confess. I am guilty. I'm a sinner. My righteous works are filthy rags before God. He saved me simply because he loves me. He forgives me because I forgive others. I become better because I love him.
Besides what you should be asking is not whether the SENTINEL is a man, but whether the man is a SENTINEL. ;)
Your Post #9
You've only been a former Mormon for four years, and it already feels like a lifetime. Go figure. :o)
He saved me because He loves me, as well. He forgives me because He is merciful. I, too, become better because I love Him, Jesus Christ, the Redeemer and Savior. I'm right there with ya. May God continue to bless you and bring you happiness, as He does me.

text: Worthington Industries Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. A potential earnings short-squeeze trade in the iron and steel complex is Worthington Industries ( WOR), which is set to release numbers on Thursday before the market open. This is a diversified metals processing company, focused on steel value-added steel processing and manufactured metal products. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Worthington Industries to report revenue of $682.41 million on earnings of 53 cents per share. The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Worthington Industries is pretty high at 9.8%. That means that out of the 51.97 million shares in the tradable float, 5.10 million shares are sold short by the bears. The bears have also been increasing their bets from the last reporting period by 3.6%, or by about 179,000 shares. If the bears are caught leaning too hard into this quarter, then we could easily see a sharp short squeeze develop for WOR post-earnings. >>5 Foreign Stocks That Could Pop This Summer From a technical perspective, WOR is currently trading above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bullish. This stock recently hit a low of $15.45 a share, and since then it has rallied back above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages. That move has now pushed WOR within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade post-earnings. If you're bullish on WOR, then I would wait until after its report and look for long-biased trades if this stock can manage to trigger a break out above some near-term overhead resistance at $17.63 to $17.94 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that move that hits near or above its three-month average volume of 657,928 shares. If we get that action, then WOR has a solid chance of hitting $19 to $19.85 a share post-earnings if the bulls gain full control of this stock. I would avoid WOR or look for short-biased trades if after earnings it fails to trigger that breakout, and then drops below its 50-day at $17.03 and its 200-day at $16.87 a share with high-volume. If we get that move, then look for WOR to re-test and possibly take out its recent low of $15.45 a share if the bears hammer this stock down post-earnings. Prev 3 of 6 Next

24-year-old gets 44 years in Las Vegas crime spree
LAS VEGAS A 24-year-old man has been sentenced to 44 years to life in prison in a September 2006 slaying and crime spree that targeted Hispanic men for killings, robberies and home invasions in Las Vegas.
George Brass was found guilty in October of murder, robbery, conspiracy and attempted murder after he and three other men were accused in a robbery that netted $3 from a group of men in an apartment complex parking lot.
A co-defendant, Eugene Nunnery, was convicted last year of shooting 29-year-old Saul Nunez Suastegui to death during the robbery. Nunnery has been sentenced to death.
Brass was found not guilty of seven charges stemming from another slaying.

Will this be your last pregnancy?
Alana (34) - RPL, Factor II
Cautiously expecting 9/30/16
DS (3) - PTL, short cervix, hospital BR, GD, irritable uterus, induced @ 40 wks for low fluid
Comments (3)
I jokingly told my husband the other night "we're not having anymore kids!" he looked at me and said "yeah right, you're crazy!"
We had both been wanting to start our family since we got married 3 years ago but were having difficulties getting pregnant. We finally got our positive pregnancy test and were so thrilled! Everything was going greaaat and then my water broke early at 17weeks.
I definitely want more children, I just don't want my son/daughter to be an only child. I will be getting on some form of birth control that hopefully won't make me gain weight, I've already gained 40lbs so far and only 25+5!
I guess the one positive thing I'm trying to keep in mind is that they don't know why i ppromed. I believe it has to do with working, I was having to lift certain things i probably shouldnt have been lifting every thursday. My back would be killing me afterwards and I'd tell my supervisor I really don't need to keep doing this but they'd schedule me to do it the following week anyway. Most of the time when women pprom they have an underlying condition which I don't have so I think if I just don't work next pregnancy I should be in the clear, hopefully!
I plan to wait about 2 years before trying again. I don't think I will be able to get pregnant right away so if it takes a couple years to get our 2nd positive test that will put them 4 years apart.
FTM to Kherington Faith, love came 3 months early - 27w5d
Pprom @ 17 weeks - There's HOPE!
She's HOME! After 82 days in the NICU
We are done with children only because we had decided that 2 was what we were going to have.
I'm not going to lie, if this one comes out a boy, I will have that "want" to try just one more time for a girl. However, with the way this pregnancy is, I'm second guessing if that is a good idea.

Oh and one more thing... is there a shortcode that i can use to display only the newest beers that íve added and only show a summary of those beers. I´d like to add that shortcode onto my frontpage so i can show of the newest beers that have been added to Bjorspjall.is (and of course your awesome plugin).

For solving hydrogen atom energy level by $SO(4)$ symmetry, where does the symmetry come from?
How can one see it directly from the Hamiltonian?
The Hamiltonian for the hydrogen atom $$ H = \frac{\mathbf{p}^2}{2m} - \frac{k}{r} $$ describes an electron in a central $1/r$ potential. This has the same form as the Kepler problem, and the symmetries are similar. There is an obvious $SO(3)$ generated by the angular momentum $\mathbf{L} = \mathbf{r} \times \mathbf{p}$. In other words, the components of $\mathbf{L}$ satisfy $$ [L_i,L_j] = i \hbar \epsilon_{ijk}L_k . $$ A more subtle symmetry is given by the Laplace-Runge-Lenz vector $$ \mathbf{A} = \frac{1}{2m} ( \mathbf{p} \times \mathbf{L} - \mathbf{L} \times \mathbf{p}) - k \frac{\mathbf{r}}{r}. $$ The commutation relations involving $\mathbf{L}$ and $\mathbf{A}$ are $$ [L_i,A_j] = i\hbar \epsilon_{ijk} A_k \\ [A_i,A_j] = -i\hbar\epsilon_{ijk} \frac{2H}{m} L_k . $$ Up to the normalization of $\mathbf{L}$ this is the commutation relations of $SO(4)$. (Here I assume that we are considering a bound state whose energy $E$ is negative. If $E>0$ the above relation generate a non-compact $SO(3,1)$ symmetry.)
Furthermore, both $\mathbf{L}$ and $\mathbf{A}$ commute with the Hamiltonian, $$ [H,L_i] = 0, \qquad [H,A_i] = 0 $$ showing that they indeed generate symmetries of the hydrogen atom.
It's because there is another vector quantity $A_i$ conserved in addition to the angular momentum $L_i$. Furthermore, the commutation relations of $A_i$'s and $L_i$'s are those of $SO(4)$. See for instance this reference : http://hep.uchicago.edu/~rosner/p342/projs/weinberg.pdf
I wanted to complement the answers above. For (1) $so(4) = so(3) \times so(3)$, one $so(3)$ is from the geometric 3D symmetry of the Hamiltonian, and the other $so(3)$ is from the potential term of $\frac{k}{r}$.
For (2). the second $so(3)$ symmetry is a dynamic symmetry and only holds when potential term is inversely proportional to $r$. One has to do the calculation to find it.

We're lucky to be here - we're Americans. So much freedom, so much opportunity.
Most of us have roots somewhere else. Our grandparents and great-grandparents came here at great risk, or they were forced here against their will. Regardless, they worked hard to insure our lives would be better than theirs.
Our thanks to them this Fourth of July. And our thanks to the people who at even greater risk created the foundation for the United States.
Our founders, who dared to break away from the British, who gathered in Philadelphia to declare their independence, had a sophisticated understanding of history and philosophy.
What they dreamt of was audacious. There was no place in the world that would be like the United States of America. And they were willing to risk their lives for it.
We should be humbled today. And we should ask ourselves this - if the founders popped up at our barbeque this afternoon, would they be impressed with what we've done with the place?
I wonder.

In my blog, I am covering ZODB and Durus. http://blogory.org/group//persistent-python I believe they are both based on the class Persistent. The best thing for both of them, is two have two databases which support the same API. Durus makes a lot of sense for the Python Kivi Community. Much better for running on cell phones than ZODB. And Durus runs on SQLite, ZODB does not. Comments Appreciated. And particularly what I need are links to active users of Durus. On Twitter I am "Persistent Python" < at >zodb4. Anyone using it with Kivy? With SQLIte? Regards Chris

I started using Zope but found it too unwieldy for my purposes. I found Durus much more to my liking. I use only the web-server part plus the durus database. All the rest I replaced with my own objects. I now have a small web tool for tracking real-estate portfolios and associated information. I had an automated process execution environment running on my earlier version and have still to recommission it following a major refactoring.

The combining of Durus into DurusWorks has caused a little complication, we don't make use of any of the other bits, was a bit nicer to deal with (e.g. python3 and pypy build issue for qpy) when Durus was a separate package.

Greetings -- (this is cross posted from qp< at >mems-exchange.org) It's been awhile since we've done update releases of DurusWorks and Dulcinea. These updates have some small pieces of new functionality, but largely reflect the tracking of changes in Python and the evolution of style in programing web applications… and of course fixing bugs! This software is made available through the generosity of my employer CNRI under an open source license from the MEMS Exchange website under software (http://www.mems-exchange.org/software/). DurusWorks, the repackaging of Durus, qp, qpy and sancho, was originally released in Sept 2011, and Dulcinea which goes back more than 10 years, has been the basis of several successful projects here at CNRI including: - The MEMS and Nanotechnology Exchange (http://www.mems-exchange.org) - The MEMSnet information portal (http://memsnet.org) - The GRIN Exchange (http://gradient-optics.org) - The TransApps marketplace (http://marketplace.transapps.net) The details of the chan

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I just installed current DurusWorks (1.1) on a fresh new machine, and I was seeing this warning in my logs: "Using Python base classes for persistence.". "_persistence.so" extension is being compiled correctly, but not installed when doing "python setup.py install". I copied the shared lib by hand, and it works correctly. Since durus installation directory is not versioned (I think this should be a bug), people is possibly not seeing this because they are installing over an old Durus version, and using the old "_persistence.so" already installed (risking suttle bugs here :). Please, use versioned durus directories :-). Very convenient if you want several Durus versions in the same system (for whatever reason). I am still running 3.7 somewhere because heavily modified code :-).

Good news. The issue discussed in this thread has now been diagnosed and solved by David Hess. The problem turned out to be this: when a persistent instance becomes temporarily unreachable during the period that an incremental pack is in progress, the object's record might be left out of the newly packed file. All subsequent attempts to access that object, including subsequent packs, would get an exception. This rare trap has existed for years: for all versions that supported incremental packing. The patch will be included in the next release (expected soon). Thanks, David, for your good work on this.

 Yes, the oid is now called "durus_id". I just meant that the BNode class doesn't have any special state management code that could be causing the problem. I think BNode is involved only because that is where your actions happen to be. I would be interested in the details of the repair. I don't remember the details of how you are using FileStorage. Do you have just one thread/process using the FileStorage? I hope so. That does seem safe. Is there any code in the cache manager, though, that calls the ghosting function and then takes some action based on the assumption that the ghosting worked? The new code adds self.file.flush(). Without it, certain file systems lose track of the correct end of the file, so a subsequent seek to the end of the file ends up in an incorrect place. In a pack, an offset is written into the header of the file and then there is a seek to the end of the file. It is important for this to work correctly. It could possibly be the reason for the trouble you have seen.

It was a permanent change to the database and occurs each time you open it and access an affected object. Thinking about this some more: if that object was worked with during the pack and yet it was ghosted and was trying to reload its state - that implies that not only commits occurred during a pack but also a cache shrink. Is it safe for a cache shrink to occur during a pack? We're going to work on building a test app that can recreate this problem. Dave

Based on what I did to repair the database, it appears this corruption only affected the items that were touched when the modification to the BTree was made during the pack (interior BNodes and the application objects). It's almost as if there is a race problem during packing having to do with either durus_id allocation or file writing. That's on one particular and isolated class that was not involved in this situation. All it does is ignore the ghosting request from the cache manager (which is safe because we never have conflicts).

This sounds like the offset mapping in memory is somehow out of sync with the file. We've never seen this condition, which is obviously bad. I'm concerned about this and trying to figure out how it could occur. It seems unlikely to have anything in particular to do with BTree or BNodes: those structures are implemented in the same way as other persistent objects. I think, from your other message, that you are looking closely at the packing code, and that seems like a good idea. There was a time when you talked about overriding a '_p_' method. Does the code you are running involve any such low-level modifications? In the current code tree, File.write() ends with self.file.flush() under all conditions. Is that the case in the code you are running?

 I think there might be a bug in load_state in connection.py - shouldn't it also catch KeyError to handle the case when working from a local FileStorage instead of a ClientStorage (as the traceback below shows)? Regardless, that's a case that shouldn't have happened in our app. In looking at the Shelf packer in Durus 3.8, it seems a bit more sophisticated than the one in 3.7. I'm guessing that an upgrade to 3.8 is likely to prevent this corruption? Thanks. Dave On Aug 14, 2011, at 11:44 AM, David Hess wrote: ------ David K.

 After some more investigation - this occurred right after live packing the database and changes to this BTree were made and committed during the pack. Afterwards, the oids seem to be jumbled up in this BTree (at least - maybe elsewhere in the database too). Unpickled Persistent objects are not what they should be - interior BNodes are sometimes application classes and stored values are sometimes BNodes rather than application classes.

Who Is "The Walking Dead's" Ezekiel - And Why Does He Have a Pet Tiger?
Comic Books, TV
Here's #9! Click here for the master list!
Avengers #9
This was a really tough one. The first issue that popped into my head when thinking of #9 was Avengers #9, and ultimately, that is what I am going with, but boy, did I try wracking my brain to see if I could find a better choice than the first appearance of Wonder Man. However, in the end, I think it just stood out well enough that it edged out a handful of quality alternatives.
As far as comic book history goes, Strange Adventures #9 would most likely take the cake, with the first appearance of Captain Comet. The 1951 issue is a strange aberration – a superhero comic during a time when superhero comics just weren't being launched, and a good four years before the Silver Age began. Yet there he was – a pretty standard superhero. Except, of course, that the good Captain was also the very first MUTANT superhero!
Heady stuff, right?
However, no one really remembers where he first debuted – people barely remember Captain Comet as it is.
Another memorable first appearance is Electro in Amazing Spider-Man #9. This one is a bit stronger of a case, as Electro is probably more famous than Wonder Man, but I dunno – I think the story of the fake hero sacrificing himself in the end, I think Wonder Man's debut is a more famous issue, overall.
Lois Lane made her first appearance as a featured character in Showcase #9, which IS pretty darn notable, except no one, well, noted it.
Fantastic Four #9 was a great issue involving Namor kicking the FF out of their home.
In Quasar #9, Mark Gruenwald spent 8 pages explaining away a continuity mistake in Millie the Model #57.
Any other great #9s?
I don't think so, so in the end, Stan Lee, Don Heck and Dick Ayers' impressive work in Avengers #9 is the top dog!
Miracleman #9, "Scenes from the Nativity," is the one which carried a warning on the cover because it contained graphic scenes of childbirth.Perhaps not as important as Avengers #9, but more memorable in my book. I doubt anyone who's read it will forget it.
Sorry Mr. Cronin, but I'm afraid that I must agree with Dan K.
Miracleman # 9 should have been Showcased, not Avengers # 9.
BTW, you should note, that lots of people might not have read comics from the 40's, 50's, 60's, and 70's, as unless they have been collected into ESSENTIALS or ARCHIVES collections, some of these books you've been mentioning might not mean as much to the younger generation as to the older generation.
Just a point worth mentioning.
Sandman #9 is "Tales in the Sand," the African folk tale issue. It sets up a lot of the events to happen later in the series, and is the first issue where Gaiman really focuses exclusively on an established myth system (excepting possibly, I suppose, the issue set in hell, but that's more of a background to Dream's tale then the focus).
In addition to fixing the continuitu problem of Minnie the Model (ahem), Quasar #9 ALSO introduced a new version of MODOK…MODAM. Yes, a female MODOM. The phrase "lipstick on a pig" pretty much nails the visual. (And an appropriate villain for the Marvel acronym top-five list!)
Huh. Wonder Man, the sensational character find of . . . never. I mean, I like Simon, especially in his buddy days with the Beast, but he's hard to get excited about. It's always nice to see the old Masters of Evil, but I'm unconvinced.
Captain Comet's a good one, but for me it's got to be Justice League of America #9, which told the origin of the JLA for the first time. (You know, the one where they turn into trees,) Now, that's a classic.
So tsk, I say. Tsk!
Also number 9, number 9: The first appearances of the Black Terror in Exciting Comics and John Kowalski(!) in War Is Hell.
No ONE is going to mentioned Preacher #9? Part two of "All in the Family"? Where we get Jesse's story about his upbringing?
I am with Brian on this one. This is the first #9 I thought of when I saw the title.
I love the Miracleman story and it is great, but this Avengers story has the seeds of just about everything that ends up getting down with the Vision (who is one of the most important and compelling Avengers), and it ends up being referenced/re-examined/revisited way more times in Marvel comics history. The Wonder Man story is way more clunky, it's true, and lord knows the Internet hates on Wonder Man, but the events of this story have more consequence in terms of comic book history.
Even though I think that the Miracleman story is great, it's not something that has been picked up on by other creators. The images might have been "shocking" in their day, but in all they're just realistic pictures of what birth looks like. Although that might not be commonly seen in comics, and some might be put off by the depiction of genitalia and fluids, that doesn't make it all that monumental in my book. You can see that stuff in medical books and (more or less) on the Discovery Channel. And that scene didn't really become something we've really seen done elsewhere since. What really stood out to me was that Moore had shown us what it would be like for a superhero to have a child in a way that was not soo squeaky clean or easy as a Aquababy or Wondetot. Then he turned that convention on its head with what Winter became. But that was later. Long story short (too late): it's a memorable moment, but does not have as long-lasting effects.
Two other things: if the young'ins don't know some of these characters, that's ok. I like when I learn about Deadpool or other newer comics I don't read. That's kind of the point of this blog, yeah? To show us stuff we might not typically see or know about? But I agee that history should look at the recent past as well.
And something Tom Fitzpatricksaid above made me wonder: how many people have read a book that has been out of print for more than 10-15 years? Would the "kids" really be all that familiar with Miracleman except to know it's all tied up in legal issues?
Miracleman # 9 should have been Showcased, not Avengers # 9.
I'd third (or fourth) that motion.
I don't even think Avengers 9 rates as the most memorable team book issue 9: Justice League of America 9 features the secret origin of the JLA!
How much of the spare-parts thing with the Vision still holds water, anyway? I mean, it was easier to buy the "left elbow of the Human Torch, nose of Wonder Man, knee of a Rigellian Recorder" thing when all his organ donors weren't running around as well.
I'll buy this one on the criterion of what Brian thinks of when he thinks of number 9, but it doesn't come close to the JLA origin in terms of stories that have been revisited and retold over time. Maybe after FInal Crisis they'll retcon it so that Firestorm and Vixen are founding members.
I'm also on Team Miracleman here, but…
Grendel #9 was the silent issue, years before Marvel tried that gimmick for a spin.
New Teen Titans (v2) #9 introduced Kole (although we'd seen here in Crisis before then and she was going to die in that book before the origin story here finished up)
Warrior #9 contained the first of Alan Moore's Warpsmith stories.
and Spawn #9 was Neil Gaiman's guest-writer issue, which introduced Angela and would be a focus of the McFarlaine/Gaiman legal battles…
Definitely the first 9 I thought of. But then my first comic EVER was the Marvel Saga that represented this issue, so it's got value to me.
I'm completely with Brian here – it was the first #9 I thought of, although the JLA issue makes a strong case, too. But Wonder Man was pretty darn significant – arrived and died in first issue, served as part of basis for another major character years later, then came back on his own and has been a major Avengers character with one of the great buddy-hero relationships of all time. Definitely the right call here.
Why should Brian show any love to a publsiher other than Marvel. After all, isnt Marvel the only publisher of comic books?
Of course the JLA origin story should be here, but any one who tends to read more DC than Marvel and sees these lists, knows that is not going to happen.
I agree with this choice as well as the case for Miracleman 9.
While it's not in that league, I'd also mention John Byrne's Superman no. 9 as one of the most memorable issues of his run, not just for a pretty cool fight with the Joker but also the back-up Luthor story (featuring some really unsettling psychological torture) that made quite a splash with fans back in the day.
Wonderman is also noteworthy (IMHO) as one of the first throw-away characters to be brought back for a major push.
The only earlier example I can think of is Joker.
MODAM first appeared in Quasar? Huh.
Why should Brian show any love to a publsiher other than Marvel. After all, isnt Marvel the only publisher of comic books?
Of course the JLA origin story should be here, but any one who tends to read more DC than Marvel and sees these lists, knows that is not going to happen.
Marvel books on the list – 10
DC books on the list – 11
INSULT EDITED OUT – Too mean.
I appreciate the insult and apologize for not doing my research.
Nah, it's cool – I shouldn't have been so irked. I mean, don't get me wrong, you can imagine how the complaint was pretty annoying (I wasn't even counting the two #34s! With them, it'd be 12-10), but that's no call for going to such a harsh insult.
So I accept your apology and offer up one of my own.
In the spirit of peace and conconciliation that's now reigning, I'd just like to say that while i consider the JLA story more important/memorable, I will say that as a character Wonder Man is marginally cooler than the Appelexian aliens.
Except maybe the rock guy. Nothing beats rock.
I'd suggest Batman #9, just for the iconic statement of the cover alone:
I actually considered giving that an honorable mention, Scott, just for that cover! But the interiors just aren't that interesting at all.
I think the intro of Angela in #9 of Spawn is a bigger deal than the intro of Wonder Man.
If nothing else, there's far more action figures of Angela.
There never was a Party Time Simon figure, after all.
Is the Quasar #9 thing a gag, or did he really do it?
I mean it made me laugh, but Gruenwald did always have a bit of Roy Thomas in him.
By the by, there really is a good reason why Marvel WOULD be more represented on this list than DC – Marvel usually places a higher premium upon the importance of their individual issues.
It is a gag, Funky.
Yeah, I became pretty certain once I hit 'Publish'.
Spawn 9 stands out in my mind, much stronger than Miracleman and Sandman. Avengers 9 still takes the cake, though; another great choice, Brian.
Hello there I am so grateful I found your weblog, I really found you by accident, while I was browsing on Digg for something else, Regardless I am here now and would just like to say thanks for a marvelous post and a all round interesting blog (I also love the theme/design), I don't have time to read it all at the minute but I have saved it and also added your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read much more, Please do keep up the great work.
Would Spawn #9 be the easy pick now?

Where Product Strategy, Customer Service, and Marketing Intersect
Driving stronger user adoption — among both paying and trial users — can be just as important as new customer acquisition to a growing software company.
To be truly effective, however, user adoption must be an interdepartmental effort. In particular, that means that a company's product development, customer service, and marketing teams must work symbiotically to:
Convert free and trial users to paid users
Encourage paying users to adopt more functionalities
Push more users in the same organization to use the product
Drive user adoption across multiple platforms
