My page container isn not being applied and the thumbnaiuls are extremely large and blurred. I have resized them in the catalog settings and it has had no effect.
So I am assuming its a CSS issue on the containment of the grid and a simple fix.
I would appreciate any help from the community.

National Geographic Giant Traveling Maps
National Geographic Giant Traveling Maps are enormously entertaining and educationally powerful tools for introducing geography and map reading skills to students, grades K-8. What better way to teach young people the power of maps and the limitless depth of geography than a basketball court-sized map of a continent on which they can explore, travel from country to country, hop around, compete, collaborate and have lots of fun?
National Geographic's Giant Traveling Maps, produced by National Geographic Live, tour the country's schools, bringing hands- and feet-on geography education to hundreds of thousands students each year. Designed to promote geographic literacy by igniting interest in geography, the maps and accompanying activities incorporate physical movement and games to teach students place names, physical geography, and cultural geography as well as map reading skills.
These floor maps of Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and the Pacific Ocean are available for rent, each accompanied by a complete teacher guide, activities, game props, and educational resources. (Text courtesy of National Geographic)
The Colorado Geographic Alliance has grant funding available to help pay for rentals of these giant maps. The request form can be found here.
In most cases several schools and libraries within a district will look to host a map during the rental period, allowing a broad range of students and educators to benefit from the map. A sample district schedule can be found here, showing how the map may be utilized by multiple educators.
Colorado schools have hosted several different giant maps. To see pictures or media coverage of these map visits, check out the links below.
In October of 2013, the Colorado Geographic Alliance brought the Giant Map of the Pacific to four schools throughout Colorado: Queen Palmer Elementary School, the Cool Science Festival hosted at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, Windsor Middle School, and Vail Mountain School.

5. Create a console table–type planter for alongside seating
Instead of displaying plants on a metal stand, build a planter with legs and place it next to furniture on your deck, terrace, or patio. This planter was made from an old metal sink supported by rustic cedar posts, then filled with cactus mix, planted with succulents, and topped with gravel. In this almost waist-high display, a vivid-red pancake kalanchoe and cool-green sedums can be fully appreciated. Light-catching objects-—fishing buoys, slag glass, and rock crystal—add an element of surprise. For more on how to build the planter shown here, see slide 9 in this gallery.

Converting large units to small units
Anyone know of a great way to convert large units to small units? Is there an easy way to do it?

Hi Ben,
I have encountered this question many times before. There are a few questions I have for you in order to reply accurately.
What are the current sizes and what size do you wish to acheive?
Are they interior or exterior units?
If you would prefer, I could contact you directly to discuss your question in further detail.

An Easy Way to change the mix
I know it can be done by moving partitions, say on a 30' building to convert back-to-back 10x15s to 10x10s and 10x20s. I'm talking about an easy way. Is there an easy way? Is there a way to build the building so that it is easy to modify the unit mix if demand warrants smaller, or larger units?
Thanks Caesar,

That's about the easiest way I know how. However, I have a seen a customer place two 3' wide doors in an exterior 10' wide unit and not put in a partition. So, what that gave him was a 10' x 10' unit with two 3' doors. May sound strange but his logic was if he were to put partition panels in to create two 5 x 10 units he would get more revenue per month than renting just the one 10 x 10.

It's always best to design your unit mix based on local market conditions to begin with - this is one of the advantages of a good feasiblity study. As a site planner I have seen more call for 20x10 units with two doors versus regular 10x20's. If market conditions change, the 20x10 unit can easily be changed to two 10x10's by adding the divider wall. Smaller units could be designed the same way - like including 10x5's with two doors instead of 5x10's. Of course, the multiple doors could get expensive if the need to divide the units never occurs. A phased project is probably a better way to meet changing market demands. What you learn in the lease-up of the first phase of buildings can incorporated into the design of Phase II.

A questionnaire method was developed for the study of 2,600 cases of proved acute coronary occlusion. The data included the hour, the day, and the type of effort or the mode of rest at the onset of the episode. The results did not show that occupation, exertion, or state of inactivity played any part in precipitating the occlusion. There was no evidence that one attack of acute coronary occlusion predisposed to a second attack except indirectly because of the underlying atherosclerosis. The author does not believe that coronary occlusion has become epidemic or that it is caused by modern stress and strain; he believes that its apparent incidence has increased because of the increased age of the population, improved diagnostic skill of physicians, and changes in the classification of heart diseases.

What is a smart pointer and when should I use one?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
A smart pointer is a class that wraps a 'raw' (or 'bare') C++ pointer, to manage the lifetime of the object being pointed to. There is no single smart pointer type, but all of them try to abstract a raw pointer in a practical way.
Smart pointers should be preferred over raw pointers. If you feel you need to use pointers (first consider if you really do), you would normally want to use a smart pointer as this can alleviate many of the problems with raw pointers, mainly forgetting to delete the object and leaking memory.
With raw pointers, the programmer has to explicitly destroy the object when it is no longer useful.
A smart pointer by comparison defines a policy as to when the object is destroyed. You still have to create the object, but you no longer have to worry about destroying it.
The simplest policy in use involves the scope of the smart pointer wrapper object, such as implemented by
Note that
Scoped pointers are useful when you want to tie the lifetime of the object to a particular block of code, or if you embedded it as member data inside another object, the lifetime of that other object. The object exists until the containing block of code is exited, or until the containing object is itself destroyed.
A more complex smart pointer policy involves reference counting the pointer. This does allow the pointer to be copied. When the last "reference" to the object is destroyed, the object is deleted. This policy is implemented by
Reference counted pointers are very useful when the lifetime of your object is much more complicated, and is not tied directly to a particular section of code or to another object.
There is one drawback to reference counted pointers — the possibility of creating a dangling reference:
Another possibility is creating circular references:
To work around this problem, both Boost and C++11 have defined a
This answer is rather old, and so describes what was 'good' at the time, which was smart pointers provided by the Boost library. Since C++11, the standard library has provided sufficient smart pointers types, and so you should favour the use of
There is also
Smart pointer is a pointer-like type with some additional functionality, e.g. automatic memory deallocation, reference counting etc.
Small intro is available on page Smart Pointers - What, Why, Which?.
One of the simple smart-pointer type is
Another convenient type is
Subject is covered in depth in book "C++ Templates: The Complete Guide" by David Vandevoorde, Nicolai M. Josuttis, chapter Chapter 20. Smart Pointers. Some topics covered:
Here's a simple answer for these days of C++11/C++14:
Definitions provided Chris,Sergdev and Llyod is correct. I prefer a simpler definition though, just to keep my life simple:
Smart pointer is simply a class that overloads
A smart pointer is like a regular (typed) pointer, like "char*", except when the pointer itself goes out of scope then what it points to is deleted as well. You can use it like you would a regular pointer, by using "->", but not if you need an actual pointer to the data. For that, you can use "&*ptr".
It is useful for:
You may not want to use a smart pointer when:
See also:
Most kinds of smart pointers handle disposing of the pointer-to object for you. It's very handy because you don't have to think about disposing of objects manually anymore.
The most commonly-used smart pointers are
A smart pointer is an object that acts like a pointer, but additionally provides control on construction, destruction, copying, moving and dereferencing.
One can implement one's own smart pointer, but many libraries also provide smart pointer implementations each with different advantages and drawbacks.
For example, Boost provides the following smart pointer implementations:
These are just one linear descriptions of each and can be used as per need, for further detail and examples one can look at the documentation of Boost.
Additionally, the C++ standard library provides three smart pointers;
Here is the Link for similar answers : http://sickprogrammersarea.blogspot.in/2014/03/technical-interview-questions-on-c_6.html
A smart pointer is an object that acts, looks and feels like a normal pointer but offers more functionality. In C++, smart pointers are implemented as template classes that encapsulate a pointer and override standard pointer operators. They have a number of advantages over regular pointers. They are guaranteed to be initialized as either null pointers or pointers to a heap object. Indirection through a null pointer is checked. No delete is ever necessary. Objects are automatically freed when the last pointer to them has gone away. One significant problem with these smart pointers is that unlike regular pointers, they don't respect inheritance. Smart pointers are unattractive for polymorphic code. Given below is an example for the implementation of smart pointers.
This class implement a smart pointer to an object of type X. The object itself is located on the heap. Here is how to use it:
Like other overloaded operators, p will behave like a regular pointer,
Let T be a class in this tutorial Pointers in C++ can be divided into 3 types :
1) Raw pointers :
They hold a memory address to a location in memory. Use with caution , as programs become complex hard to keep track.
Pointers with const data or address { Read backwards }
Pointer to a data type T which is a const. Meaning you cannot change the data type using the pointer. ie
A const pointer to a data type T . Meaning you cannot move the pointer but you can change the value pointed to by the pointer. ie
A const pointer to a const data type T . Meaning you cannot either move the pointer nor can you change the data type pointer to be the pointer. ie .
3) Smart Pointers : {
Shared Pointer:
Implemented using reference counting to keep track of how many " things " point to the object pointed to by the pointer. When this count goes to 0 , the object is automatically deleted , ie objected is deleted when all the share_ptr pointing to the object goes out of scope. This gets rid of the headache of having to delete objects which you have allocated using new.
Weak Pointer : Helps deal with cyclic reference which arises when using Shared Pointer If you have two objects pointed to by two shared pointers and there is an internal shared pointer pointing to each others shared pointer then there will be a cyclic reference and the object will not be deleted when shared pointers go out of scope. To solve this , change the internal member from a shared_ptr to weak_ptr. Note : To access the element pointed to by a weak pointer use lock() , this returns a weak_ptr.
See : When is std::weak_ptr useful?
Unique Pointer : Light weight smart pointer with exclusive ownership. Use when pointer points to unique objects without sharing the objects between the pointers.
To change the object pointed to by the unique ptr , use move semantics
References : They can essentially be though of as const pointers, ie a pointer which is const and cannot be moved with better syntax.
See : What are the differences between a pointer variable and a reference variable in C++?

I've had to down rate my review for lack of support and an apparent bug that just won't go away.
I've been waiting months for a fix, but I think it's been overlooked.
I was able to remove the border surrounding each link in a previous version of this plugin, but I mistakenly updated the plugin and now I'm not able to remove the border around the links.
Having a solid bordered, box around each and every link on mouse hover makes the effect appear 3rd rate IMO. You can see for yourself at: http://www.philosotheist.com.
While the idea behind this plugin is great...the support for it is lacking and as such, I'm in the market for one that allows me to remove the box around each link.

All Rise...
Judge Jason Panella actually preferred Babette's Sunday brunch.
The Charge
"A great artist is never poor."
Opening Statement
Babette's Feast isn't extravagant, but it's certainly filling.
Facts of the Case
Sisters Filippa (Bodil Kjer, Jenny and the Soldier) and Martine (Birgitte Federspiel, Ordet) live a quiet, pious life in a 19th century Danish village. Their French housekeeper Babette (Stephane Audran, The Big Red One) offers to treat the sisters and their stark community to something they've never experienced: an expertly cooked French meal.
The Evidence
Babette's Feast is not a flashy film. The titular event is not some sense-defying, opulent food extravaganza that radically transforms the film's characters. And I think this is why it works beautifully—the film is modest in its approach to just about everything, opting for a parable of graciousness and simple sacrifice over big gestures.
The ingredients are simple. You have these kind-hearted (but incredibly dour) villagers, you have this mysterious French housemaid, and then you have a meal that changes their lives. Sure, there's nuance as well, but it's surprisingly easy to try to overanalyze Babette's Feast. It's a very literal film—sermon-like, even—that wears its sacramental imagery on its sleeve. But even as Babette's Feast unfolds in an explicitly Christian context, its messages of generosity and forgiveness are wonderfully inclusive. But make no mistake: this film is unabashedly religious in its approach, which may turn off some viewers. (The fact that Babette beat out Louis Malle's excellent Au Revoir Les Enfants for the 1987 Academy Award for Foreign Film also soured some folks to the film, but that's another story.)
Director Gabriel Axel adapted the screenplay himself, sticking closely to Isak Dinesen's short story of the same name. Some things are changed here and there; the location is moved to Denmark, for one, but it's an incredibly faithful adaptation. The film still manages to hang on to the atmosphere of a short story—it's almost like you can hear a page turning every few minutes. What works best on the screen, though, is the feast itself. It's a remarkably restrained affair and, like so many other forms of art, it has the power to slowly mend wounds and transform lives. Not to mention how mouth-watering it looks, which the audience can take in as the preparation and serving of the meal takes up a huge slice of the film. Axel reserves the rest of the film's run time to setting up the situation—we see the sisters as young women and we watch them become the austere elderly women at the film's climax.
Babette's Feast is consistently thoughtful in how it handles the sisters' lives—they're never looked down upon because of mistakes they made earlier in their life, and their faith, while often colorless, is never shown to be a crutch or detriment. It's a drowsily paced movie, too, but there's enough kind-hearted whimsy to keep it from being languorous.
As usual, the Criterion Collection does a fantastic job with the Blu-ray release of Babette's Feast. The 1.66:1/1080p transfer looks magnificent and is virtually free of noise or dirt, a major step up from (what I've seen) previous releases. The stereo DTS-HD Master Audio track (in Danish, with French and Swedish) is incredibly clear and crisp.
There is also a wealth of supplemental material: the original U.S. trailer for the film; "Gabriel Axel," a new interview with the director about the origins of the film; "Stephane Audran," an interview with the actress who plays the film's title character; "Table Scraps," a fascinating visual essay on the film's background; "Karen Blixen: Storyteller," a feature-length documentary about the life of the author of the short story the film is based on; and "An Artist of the Everyday," a new interview for the collection that focuses on French cuisine and its cultural importance. All of the video extras add up to nearly three hours of bonus material, and are also in 1080p. Lastly, the film comes with a 64-page booklet that includes cinema professor Mark Le Fanu's essay "Mercy and Truth Have Met Together," and "Babette's Feast," the short story by Isak Dinesen (pen name of Karen Blixen) on which the film is based.
Closing Statement
Babette's Feast's gradual pace and cold visuals may limit the film's audience, but I thought it was a wonderful celebration of faith, art and food. The Criterion Collection does the film justice with their fantastic Blu-ray release.

2007 Tabasco flood
Coordinates: 17°58′19″N 92°35′17″W / 17.972°N 92.588°W The 2007 Tabasco flood occurred in late October and early November 2007 in the Mexican states of Tabasco and Chiapas, in which as much as 80% of the former was left under water.[1] At least 20,000 people were forced to seek emergency shelter.[2] Over 1,000,000 residents were affected.[3][4]
The southern Mexican state of Tabasco is bordered by the states of Veracruz to the west, Chiapas to the south, and Campeche to the north-east. To the east Tabasco borders with the Petén department of Guatemala, and to the north with the Gulf of Mexico. Tabasco is in the northern half of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. The state capital is Villahermosa.
The hydrology of Tabasco is complex. Most of the state is a wide coastal plain crossed by rivers coming from the mountains further south in Chiapas and Guatemala. The two main rivers in the region are the Río Grijalva and the Río Usumacinta, which converge before draining into the Gulf of Mexico north of Villahermosa through the wildlife-rich wetlands known as the Pantanos de Centla.
These rivers are considered mature, since they are in the lowest part of their course, and the plain they cross allows them broad, wide flows, meandering and dividing into separate branches. This is the case with the Grijalva, which separates into several branches in the central part of Tabasco (known locally as the Río Carrizal, Río Samaría and Río Mezcalapa). These three rivers converge at Villahermosa, where they recombine and again take the name Grijalva. The main branch of the Grijalva in Chiapas is dammed by the country's four largest hydroelectric plants.
Causes of the floods[edit]
The Tabasco floods caused largely by the sinking of the land over the last century. The constant extraction of petroleum and gas, the construction of dams in the zone, the erosion of land and deforestation have all contributed toward making this region more flood-prone. Deforestation has allowed silt to fill in rivers thereby reducing their capacity and making floods more likely.[5] With the onset of constant rainfall due to a low pressure system located nearby, the combination of these influences contributed to making the flood event even worse than it might otherwise have been.
Some have suggested that global warming has increased sea levels, making water regions at the low sandy zones of the Gulf of Mexico disappear. However, sea level rises due to global warming are probably still negligible in their contribution to these floods.
A number of sources point to the misuse of hydroelectric dams as a cause of the floods. Hydroelectric plants in the dams of Tabasco share the production of electricity with newer, private, more expensive gas plants. Investors complained that government owned plants cover most of the production of the electricity, lowering the price, and have put pressure on the government to lessen production on hydroelectric plants in order for them to sell more energy and raise their profit levels. This allegedly led to the dams retaining more water than they should have done.[6][7][8][9]
Tabasco was subject to heavy rain in late October and early November 2007, causing widespread flooding. As much as 80% of the state was under water.[1] At least 20,000 people were forced to leave their houses in the search of emergency shelter.[2] Over 1,000,000 residents have been affected.[3][4]
The 2007 Tabasco flood not only destroyed many family houses and took away people's belongings, but also affected theaters, libraries, artistic schools and museums. One of the buildings affected was the house of the poet Carlos Pellicer Cámara, which ended up under the water. The house where the poet lived his childhood is located in Narciso Sáenz 203, in the center of Villahermosa, Tabasco. Another historical house affected is located at 620 Calle Lerdo de Tejada, in Villahermosa, close to Carlos Pellicer's house. The house once was occupied by José Gorostiza, the author of the Muerte sin fin poem, his brother, the dramatist Celestino Gorostiza, and the man of letters Andrés Iduarte.[10]
Economic impact at national levels will be insignificant. There is important damage in the fields which is causing increases in banana and cacao prices.[11] The flood in Tabasco will not affect the economy in Mexico as much. Guillermo Ortiz Martínez, president of the Banco de México (the central bank), agrees that Mexico will not have excessive inflation because of the Tabasco flood. But some prices of products will increase such as banana and cacao.[12] The General Peasant Confederation informed that because of the flooding, 100% of the harvests are lost. This represents an economic damage of US$480 million. President Felipe Calderón has sent seven thousand and five hundred people to help people in Tabasco. This is because of the major damage to roads, houses, and farms.[13]
The flood destroyed agricultural production in the state of Tabasco, the largest producer of cocoa in the country and a major source of bananas, but is not expected that losses affect international prices, experts said on Friday. Tabasco produces 80% of all Mexico's cocoa and 40% of its bananas, according to Luis Rey Carrasco Linares, an expert from the Autonomous University of Chapingo with his squad in Tabasco. The heavy rains that punished the state for more than a week occurred during the cocoa harvest, which lasts from September to December, Carrasco said. All this year's harvest is under water and was lost, he added. The floods caused profound devastation to agriculture, which is a Principal source of Income in the state.[14] The loss will have its greatest impact for the more than 30,000 families who earn their living in the production of cocoa, Carrasco said, adding that before the flood, farmers were grappling with a plague of fungus.[15]
"The situation is extraordinarily serious: This is one of the worst natural disasters in the history of the country" said President Felipe Calderón in a televised address on the night of 1 November 2007.[3]
The Tabasco flood caused the loss of thousands of books from the Villahermosa central library and 78 other libraries from five different municipalities. The Grijalva River affected the infrastructure and works of the José María Pino Suárez State Library where the entire vault has much water. The water also flooded the auditorium causing widespread damage to furniture and equipment, rising to the second floor and damaging 15,000 books from the general collection.[16]
- 23 October 2007: An accident that occurred amid storm conditions in the Bay of Campeche necessitates the evacuation of a Pemex oil exploration platform. In the rescue operation, 23 workers' lives are lost and, days later, a major oil slick arrives on the coast of Campeche and Tabasco. Heavy rain continues to fall over the southern Gulf Coast for the remainder of the week.[17]
- 30 October 2007: In the afternoon of 30 October, the Río Grijalva and some of its affluents begin to break their banks. Flooding alerts are broadcast over local TV and radio for the municipalities of Centro, Cunduacán, Jalapa, Jalpa de Méndez, Nacajuca and Tacotalpa. Evacuations of towns at greatest risk begins. The federal Secretariat of the Interior issues a declaration of emergency for the entire state.[18]
- 31 October 2007: Tabasco Governor Andrés Granier announces that 70% of the state is under water and 300,000 people affected. Damage is also reported to the south in Chiapas, along with the first reports of missing people.[19]
- 1 November 2007: Granier states that "80% of the state is probably flooded" and gave a figure of 400,000 people affected. President Felipe Calderón tours the affected area and, that evening, addresses the nation on television to report on the gravity of the situation.[20]
- 2 November 2007: In the early morning hours, the Grijalva breaks the dykes in Villahermosa and the city's central district is ordered evacuated. A million people's homes are under water.[21]
- 3 November 2007: With the authorities fearing looting in Villahermosa, the army is deployed at supermarkets to ensure order.[22]
- 4 November 2007: Some shops and lorries are looted in spite of the army presence. Residents relocated to shelters complain about inadequacies in the distribution of aid.[23]
- 5 November 2007: Food shortages are reported at the shelters. Calderón visits the area for a third time and announces a "fiscal amnesty" plan for the state including the cancellation of tax payments and electricity bills.[24] In the evening, a landslide washes away 50 houses in the village of Juan del Grijalva on the Tabasco-Chiapas border; 70 people are reported missing.[25]
- 6 November 2007: The water levels in both the Grijalva and the Carrizal fall significantly overnight. Pumping begins to drain the city of Villahermosa.[26]
- 17 November 2007: Panic spreads as rumors of a river blockage at Juan del Grijalva in the Upper Grijalva river will destroy the Penitas dam and re-flood Villahermosa with greater devastation.[citation needed]
Causes and Prevention[edit]
Tabasco is one of the richest states in Mexico in terms of petroleum, however it is one of the poorest states in terms of social services and health. It has been widely claimed that the disaster could have been prevented or at least limited, but the money that was assigned to infrastructure has vanished. The National Water Commission (CONAGUA) was responsible for the construction of hydraulic repairs in the "Peñitas' ditch", which would have reduced the impact of the water in Tabasco. Authorities are making plans to avoid the repetition of this tragedy, elaborating on the existing flood management systems constructed after the floods of 1999. This hydraulic infrastructure will include the construction of borders, breakwaters and sea walls to fight the sea, as well as dredging the rivers to increase peak capacity.[27][28]
The flood tragedy resulted in great national unity among people living throughout Mexico as well as an outpouring of support from abroad. Hundreds of people from all parts of Mexico made donations including those from states that were in previously similar crisis such as Hurricane Dean victims. Entertainers such as Alejandro Fernández, Thalía, members of Los Tigres del Norte, Jaguares, Hombres G, Lorena Ochoa,[29] Místico[30] and Miguel Bosé[31] have also shown their support. Many Mexico football clubs, and their players, also collected significant donations.

Economic consequences[edit]
One week after the severe flooding, the capital of the state was in bankruptcy in part because flooding has affected various settlements. According to the local Chamber of Commerce, almost 15,000 establishments in downtown Villahermosa suffered losses of 100% in their infrastructure and inventories. This situation might cause a severe recession in the local economy, because many of these business beside having lost all their invested capital, have obligations with their suppliers, payments delayed with the government and workers' wages.[56]
The disappearance of persons, acts of looting, lack of supplies and skin diseases are some of the effects suffered by thousands of victims in Tabasco.[57] Drinking water and food shortages brought on by flooded roads in Tabasco prompted several looting incidents at abandoned homes and businesses.[58]
The worst incident took place Saturday morning when around 1,000 people overran a downtown shopping center in Tabasco, overwhelming law enforcement officials posted in the area, and making off with everything in sight, including televisions and home appliances.[58]
Since the beginning of the disaster, many civilians denounced the existence of many vandalism groups. These groups started entering abandoned houses and also stole everything, Many special security operations have taken place along the damaged areas of Tabasco. One of the most important actions taken was proposed by Felipe Calderón that consisted to bring military troops together with federal police to the state of Tabasco. This operation was taken in order to prevent looting and vandalism.[57]
"People are going hungry, we're aware of that," Governor Andrés Granier said on television after the looting incident, "but being hungry doesn't justify such behaviour and outright attacks."[58]
Floods in Tabasco observed from Space[edit]
The floods that had affected Tabasco were observable from the space, as seen in images from NASA. A system of low pressure was the phenomenon that unleashed strong and constant rains in southern Mexico from 28 October and for several days. The Spectrum-radiometer of Image of Moderate Resolution of the satellite Aqua of NASA took the image of the floods on 3 November 2007.

Yes its possible. Im a Scorpio woman and I have feelings for the close Cancer male friend in my life.
Im usually very good at getting through to people but Cancer men are a whole different story. These are very smart, tactical men. They KNOW what theyre doing. So clever.
They take the indirect approach to everything. Like crabs - walk sideways.
He may be pushing you away due to a number of reasons;
Maybe youre probing too much. Cancer men dont like too much too soon. It takes TIME and PATIENCE with this man.
He may have been hurtin the past so doesnt want to get close to anyone (just yet).

This was so good to have around. I made a double batch of this and used one batch just to heat up in the morning w/ a piece of toast, but the other batch got rolled in tortillas and frozen. Truly, a staple for staving off hunger until lunch time. I think having perfectly cooked, moist eggs would matter a great deal to this recipe. So, scramble with some cream or milk and fry in bacon grease. Yummy!
I have just made this for the third time and it is great. The first time, I tried sausage, the second with bacon. And this time, exactly as the recipe says, with ham and bacon. It's delicious and gets me out the door much quicker than when I used to make eggs and toast each morning.
Made a bunch of these for hubby so he could grab a quick hot breakfast when I don't have time to cook. He said they are better than MickeyD's LOL...which is a huge compliment coming from him.

I am trying to find all occurrences of a literal float value in Python code. Can I do that in Komodo (or in any other way)?
In other words, I want to find every line where something like 0.0 or 1.5 or 1e5 is used, assuming it is interpreted by Python as a float literal (so no comments, for example).
I'm using Komodo 6.0 with Python 3.1.
If possible, a way to find string and integer literals would be nice to have as well.

Alyssa Brooks takes you on a sexy adventure with Dylan and Sadie. Sadie leads Dylan on a chase around the world. A chase for what you might ask? Her! Dylan and Sadie have quite the adventure. The two of them have plans to get married, but when Sadie runs off, Dylan worries their wedding is off too. Little does he know, he's in for the time of his life. Come and Get Me is a fast-paced, sex-filled story that shows the way two people learn to handle their fears, both as individuals and as a couple. Come and Get Me showcases the many feelings that these two characters feel and will keep the reader's interest from beginning to end, even if only to discover what Sadie will do next and the lengths Dylan will go to in order to rein in his runaway lover. Too Hot To Handle does not do this story justice! The afterglow and sweet smile on your face when you've read the end leaves you fulfilled and wanting to celebrate this loving couple's first anniversary with them. This white-hot author leaves you with the impression of the rules and the locations of "The Game" are about to be rocked again!
Come and Get Me Alyssa Brooks Berkley, Jun 2007, $14.00 ISBN: 0425215946 They have been dating six months, but to Sadie that is not enough time while to Dylan he knows she is the one. In a fancy restaurant the lawyer goes on his knee to propose while Sadie chokes on her shrimp. She has doubts, but somehow her moth said yes instead of no as her mind kept encouraging her. --- Dylan has all the qualities that a woman would want in a spouse. He is faithful, honest (please no lawyer comments), caring and makes good money. Yet the twenty-seven year old Sadie has doubts because so far he has not brought her sexual fantasies to life although she admits to herself he has no idea what they are. When she begins having nightmares and then hives, Sadie blames Dylan so she decides to raise the courtship to a different level. She flees to oversea sand dunes challenging him to follow. Dylan picks up the gauntlet as he knows she is his soulmate, but makes a few rule changes to her cast and mouse sex game so he can fulfill his fantasies too. --- Travelogues are not written quite like Alyssa Brooks provides them as readers will escape with this duo from Hawaii to Mexico to Egypt. From ménage to bondage to tonguing, etc. this likable couple provides readers with a heated prelude to their marriage. Erotic romance fans will enjoy the sensual encounters between Dylan and Sadie as each knows what he or she desires and sets forth to satiate those itches. --- Harriet Klausner
Do not waste your money!! I threw it in the garbage. The characters were silly and completly unbelievable.
Would have liked the female character to be less self-absorbed, but still good fun nonetheless.
I thought this was a great, erotic read. It's got the adventure included and lots of hot sexy fun. It wasn't vanilla at all and the romance was just enough to keep someone interested. Overall, I recommend it.
I read about 40 pages and was turned off. The other reviews were right on about being far fetched. I understand it is a story, but it was hard to believe. The characters were annoying and not trying to be too graphic here, but the author must be in love with her butthole. All the talk about was that part of the body was not erotic for me, but a turnoff.
Plot was too far fetched.
This book is a fast read. Very erotic book. Scenes duplicate themselves to much. Main character annoyed me. I don't like women that don't know what they want and run away. That is just a personal thing to me. I let my friend read it and she liked it. This book will made you hot and want to go find your lover.
I thought this book was awful. The sex scenes were hot but went against the nature of the characters and the plot had very little plausibility to me. I just couldn't get into the storyline.
I went and purchased all the other books in the series because I enjoyed this one so much.
I loved this book. It was a romantic and thrilling (but not scary). If I had the money, i think it'd be fun to do that.

Recap of this past week: Monday morning we found out we're having a boy (!), Tuesday we found out my computer's hard drive might be broken (!), Wednesday we found out it was just the cable that goes to the hard drive (!) and today we found a fresh bin of organic fruits and vegetables delivered to our front door. That's life, isn't it, filled with surprises that delight us, discourage us and change our schedules sufficiently to remind us we're not in control, a theme I keep coming back to this year. Right now, I'm mostly feeling the blessing it is to get to see that I don't run the universe (or the way a day goes or even how happy and healthy this little guy inside me seems to be doing so far) as well as thankful for the miniature moments that surprise me in the midst of life, like a Wednesday warm enough to take off my jacket or the way nothing makes a girl feel richer than a table filled with fresh food to eat.

Forint Caps Biggest 5-Day Drop in 4 Months as Yields Increase
The forint capped the biggest five-day depreciation in more than four months and borrowing costs rose at an auction as the European debt crisis escalated and Hungary struggled to start bailout talks.
The Debt Management Agency sold 53 billion forint ($226 million) of bonds maturing in 2015, 2017 and 2022 at its biweekly sale today, 11 billion forint more than planned. The agency raised 20 billion forint in notes due in 2015 at an average yield of 8.22 percent, compared with 7.7 percent at the last sale of that maturity on May 3. The forint retreated 1 percent to 298.22 per euro by 4:38 p.m. in Budapest, increasing the depreciation in the past five days to 3 percent, the most on a closing basis since Jan. 4.
Demand for riskier assets dropped as European Central Bank President Mario Draghi acknowledged for the first time that Greece could leave the monetary union after political gridlock in the southern European country threatened access to bailout funds. Hungary hasn't started talks on an aid deal of its own six months after requesting the assistance from the International Monetary Fund.
"We will see better levels to buy Hungarian government bonds in the medium term," Esther Law, a London-based strategist at Societe Generale SA, wrote in e-mailed comments today. "Concern over the Eurozone lingers and also as we don't expect the negotiations on a new financial package to start before the end of the summer at the earliest," Law said.
Hungary can first "realistically" obtain a credit line from the IMF in "early" fall, Magyar Hirlap reported yesterday, citing an interview with Mihaly Varga, appointed as the country's new chief negotiator.
The debt agency today sold 17 billion forint in 2017 bonds at 8.35 percent, compared with 7.82 percent two weeks ago, according to auction results from the agency on Bloomberg. The agency sold 16 billion forint in 2022 debt at 8.45 percent, compared with 7.98 percent on May 3. Investors bid for a total 123 billion forint in debt, compared with 128 billion forint two weeks ago. The AKK sold an additional 6.5 billion forint from the 2015, 2017 and 2022 notes in a later, non-competitive tender.

Just what the title says really.
A multimedia file (movie/audio-cd/whatever) may be stopped by simply exiting the media player (windows media player/vlc/Qt/...) instead of going through the whole rigamarole of hitting the stop button (or File/Close menu). I find myself wondering whether these commands aren't vestigial.
Could simply exiting the media player damage the media/computer?

I have just read some previous reviews before I posted mine and I have to say I am very impressed that the manager replies to all the negative comments made, it shows they care. I stayed on the 9th floor of Quest Southbank with my elderly mother and 9 year old son. It is very conveniently located for Southbank and Melbourne CBD. The room was light, airy and spacious with a large table and good size bedrooms. The laundry facilities are excellent and the rooms were clean and pleasant. Our room overlooked City Road, which is an extremely busy road with loud lorries coming through day and night. The soundproofing wasn't great and I found it quite hard to get used to the noise. However I requested to move to the other side of the building and the staff quickly found me an alternative room. But the room was smaller and not as nice so we decided to stay put. The other negatives were the shower did drench the floor but we rectified that, the balcony table was broken and there were quite a few light bulbs gone. Also my one bug bear is that wifi was charged at $13 a day. I really think that it is unfair to charge this amount when we are already paying a considerable amount for the room. I know it is quite common in Australia, but it is something I really object to. Apart from that I would highly recommend this apartment and the staff on the front desk were extremely accommodating and helpful.

Viewer Comments: Pneumothorax - Causes
Patient Comments & Reviews
The eMedicineHealth doctors ask about Collapsed Lung (Pneumothorax):
Comment from: Shannon, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: December 16
My first pneumothorax was in 2005. I had a severe cold for an extended period of time and had been going to a school clinic every week or two for additional help. I had been coughing uncontrollably and at one moment it felt like the "wind was knocked out of me." I went to the doctor and was sent home. They called back to say that it looked like I had a collapse and they were trying to get me an appointment with a lung specialist. I ended up going to the emergency and having surgery a few hours later. Between 2005 and 2010, I had several recurrences. Many were documented as 5-10%, but since I had the pleurodesis during the first surgery, my surgeon thought I was having problems with anxiety even though the recurrences were documented by X-ray (he didn't think I should be able to feel the small collapses). Fast forward to today, 3 additional surgeries later, I am 2 months out of my last surgery), and I feel awful every day. I'm back at work and pretty much pretending to be fine, but it really, really stinks. This last surgery seems to have been the worst of all. I keep trying to remind myself that it has only been 2 months.
Comment from: Louise, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: July 01
I was sleeping. I live alone, and I woke up one morning with a sore chest. As the day went on, the pain got worse and it became harder to breathe. I have high blood pressure and take medication to control it. My heart was beating faster and faster. I couldn't breathe in, only out. I waited until after lunch to go to hospital. When I got there, thinking I was having a heart attack, they stabilized me. Although I felt a bit better, I knew something was wrong. It felt like I had air in my chest and kept describing an "air bubble" in my chest. They kept me in hospital overnight. I could hear the air in my chest. It wasn't until lunch time the next day that I had x-rays taken and discovered my whole left lung had collapsed. It took till later that day for the doctors to put a chest tube in. It stayed in for three days, then fell out. Within minutes of the tube falling out, I felt the symptoms happening again. Within half an hour, my lung had collapsed again. The second procedure was the worst pain I'd ever been through.
Comment from: healthy now i hope, Male (Patient) Published: May 31
I am 38, tall, thin, and used to smoke. I had a spontaneous pneumothorax on the left side. I was simply driving on a dirt road and it 100% collapsed. The pain started in my shoulder, and within about three minutes, it was up and down my arm. i could only take tiny breaths with a pain level of about 7 out of 10. After two days (and no one's fault but my own), it progressed to tension pneumothorax. After 10 days in hospital and one operation, I'm home again. This same thing also happened to my uncle.
Comment from: Kb, 19-24 Female (Patient) Published: March 07
Endometriosis of the lung caused my lung to collapse.
Comment from: Student, 19-24 Female (Patient) Published: January 31
I went into the ER via ambulance for shortness of breath, chest pain, and cyanosis of the fingers and toes. It was discovered that I had a spontaneous pneumothorax through physical examination upon which a chest tube was inserted as I had fleeting consciousness and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The pulmonologist I saw in the ICU explained to me that the collapse was due to a strong diaphragm and violent coughing, as I had been sick for about a week prior. My outpatient pulmonologist is doing a sweat chloride test and a blood test to see if I have cystic fibrosis due to the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus at age four. I am 5'0" (152 cm) tall and weighed 125 lbs (57kg) at the time of the event so evidently not a tall and thin person. I have the sweat chloride test tomorrow so we'll find out if the spontaneous pneumothorax was due to a mild case of cystic fibrosis.
Comment from: Grateful Breather, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: December 03
I suffered my first collapse in 2007. I waited for several hours in the waiting room. After the chest X-ray, a code was called and I was told they were afraid I was going to have cardiac arrest and die. A chest tube was put in and I spent 20 days in the hospital and lost 36 pounds. After release, I was a bag of bones. I suffered a second collapse in 2012. I had VATS surgery with Pleurectomy the next day. Five days later I was released. All these months later, I still do not feel fully recovered. I am a non-smoker and a healthy gym hound. I still get random pains from it.
Comment from: CMM, 35-44 Male (Patient) Published: June 11
I had a mountain bike accident last year and landed hard on the side of my chest. I did not break any ribs, but the force of the fall ruptured the top of my left lung. I quickly developed shortness of breath and a crushing pain in my sternum. For a moment I thought that I was having a heart attack. The paramedics and mountain rescue services evacuated me to hospital and my chest was aspired with a needle. The lung collapse was approximately 40%.

Here comes Celia, pushing the envelope a little bit. It's fun when the girls start a friendly competition
==0_0== HOT DAMN!!! Now Celia here is someone that can push me around, especially with those twin globes of hers! Hehehe...
Keep it up!
Keep it up!
Got Milk...? >w>
... I always thought that celia was based off your sister
A long-ass time ago Celia's personality was roughly based on my sister. Their personalities since have diverged quite a bit and they are both their own people now
Why do I like those lips soooo much omg and the bewbs
Yeah the lip thing is kind of wierd at first, but then you can imagine how kissibly soft they can be
She is very sexy! I like gals that go beyond!
I'd say she's pushing more envelopes than the local post office. ;>
Man, those boobs and those lips are so hot.
Congratulations for your combination.
Congratulations for your combination.
Fantastic. I'd make a comment about the outfit again, but sadly I can't see enough of it to judge.
Oh man! That's sexy!

The Bees are leaving Underhill, their home of 106 years, at the end of next season and will relocate seven miles away at a new purpose-built stadium at The Hive.
Chairman Tony Kleanthous told the club website: "We appreciate the tremendous support shown to us by Harrow Council throughout this whole process.
"Now that we know our immediate future is secure in the area we will continue to do our utmost to respect the views of local residents and be the good neighbours everyone knows us to be at Underhill.
"We will also begin consultation with our fantastic supporters to ensure that we fully encapsulate their views in any stadium development."
