Hi all,
Yay! Visual Studio 2010 RTM is shipping today! If you have UML models, Sequence or Layer diagrams created in Beta2 or RC that you want to upgrade to RTM, then I have good news. The model upgrade tool has been updated to support RTM.
Note that there's actually only one format change between RC and RTM. The only change was in the Work item links from our diagrams and model elements. So if you used work item links in your RC models, then grab the tool and upgrade them. If you have no work item links, then sit back and relax. Your models will open and work just fine in RTM, without running the tool.
Now, if you have Beta2 models, then the tool is definitely needed. There were a number of changes between Beta2 and RTM, and you should run the model upgrade tool to enable your models to open in RTM.
You can find the tool here:
Please let me know if you find any issues with the tool, or if you have other questions regarding upgrades!

I do not have much info past my grandfather, James Franklin Miller, except his brothers and sisters, but if Milton Blair fought in the Civil war and Charles Martin was his brother, maybe that's where my great uncle Charles and my father and I get our names?
Do you know of my great aunt and uncles, James Franklin (every one called him Frank because his dad was also James) Charles Miller, Fuson Miller, Hazel Miller, Cordie Miller, Myrtle, Blanche.
If it helps I believe my great great gradnfather was married to a Mary (born Slusher) Miller, and my great grandfather was married to Troy (Gambrel) Miller.

Speed strips also allow for a tactical reload

I like speed strips dues to the profile.
They go well with a 642.
And yes, lint is the only issue I've seen, really a non-issue.

Like others have said, getting your reloads entangled in keys and such should probably be a bigger concern. When I carry my 642 in the warmer weather I shove a speedstrip in the coin/watch pocket of my Levi's, fits perfect and keeps it isolated from keys and other pocket stuff. I also use a Don Hume drop pouch on my belt to carry speedstrips at times. In cooler weather I'll carry a strip or two AND one or two speedloaders in my weakside jacket pocket.

I sometimes carry a J-frame when a cannot wear a concealment garment, and I have been carrying my speedloader in my strong side pocket due to the fact that when you perform a reload on a revolver, the weapon will be in your weak hand.
I see that at least 2 folks carry speedstrips on their weakside which confuses me.
I would like to hear some opinions of others on this.

sarhog - I think it is all down to chosen personal reload method.
I'd not reckon that all folks by any means hold gun in weak hand for a reload. I actually hold it in strong hand with fingers thru frame - enabling rotation for any sluggish empty droppers and also having good control of cylinder during stuffing the speedloader contents.
Thus I carry my Safariland weak side - well did when only revo carrying It's hard as all get out to remember the reload drill mentally - until I pick up a gun and loader - then it just ''happens''.

I do it pretty much like Chris described as well so gun stays in my strong hand and reloading is done with weak. The only reason I carry a speedstrip in the strongside pocket is that Levi's don't have left side coin pockets and I like having the spare rounds separated from other pocket stuff. When wearing my drop pouch it's at roughly 10:30 -11:00 or so (weakhand).
no problems. i carry one in my right pocket (strong side) for many years. you need to move it to your right side. when you reload, you will use your left hand to hold the gun and your right hand will load the rounds.

MMA: Foster named new head of California commission
Andy Foster was named the executive director of the California State Athletic Commission, which oversees more fights than any state in the nation, the California Department of Consumer Affairs announced on Tuesday.
"I'm very excited to be coming to California," stated Foster, a former pro MMA fighter with a 9-2 record. "It has a rich boxing and MMA presence with the largest number of shows in the nation, and I look forward to ensuring a regulatory environment that is consistent and fair based upon contestant safety, public protection, and economic growth."
Foster, who begins his new job on Nov. 7, has been running the Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission the past four years where he increased revenue by 70 percent and upped the number of regulated fighting events by 40 percent.
"We are hoping he can do in California what he did in Georgia in terms of increasing both revenue and the number of shows," CSAC chairman John Frierson stated.
It's been a turbulent year for the CSAC. Former executive director George Dodd resigned on July 31 after the Department of Consumer Affairs, which oversees the CSAC, claimed the commission was insolvent and ordered an audit of commission finances.
UFC president Dana White has hinted that he is coming around to the idea of bringing a women's division to the UFC largely because of the influence of Strikeforce women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey.
"It's absolutely going to happen," White told Sports Illustrated in his most definitive statement on the subject so far. ...
Former Olympic gold medalist and UFC commentator Jeff Blatnick, 55, passed away Wednesday due to complications from heart surgery, WYNT in Albany, N.Y., reported.

Brian Rogers (9-4) faces Dominique Steele (6-2) and Alvin Robinson (12-6) takes on Daniel Straus (20-4) in non-tournament bouts on the main card. ...
Veteran announcers Bas Rutten and Todd Harris will be the broadcast team for the inaugural World Series of Fight event on Nov. 3 in Las Vegas on NBC Sports network. Rutten, a former UFC heavyweight champion, co-hosts "Inside MMA" on AXS TV and Harris, the former voice of World Extreme Cagefighting when it was on Versus, is the host of "UFC Tonight" on Fuel TV. ...
A fight between former UFC light-heavyweight champion Rashad Evans and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira is being planned for Super Bowl weekend on Feb. 2 in Las Vegas, according to a report by MMAFighting.com. ...
Former WEC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis remains hospitalized for precautionary reasons following an attack of cellulitis, but Pettis' trainer Duke Roufus told MMAjunkie.com on Wednesday that he was waiting to pick up the fighter from an area hospital and that two will train next week. Roufus said a proposed bout between Pettis and Donald Cerrone has yet to be booked, but shouldn't be hindered by the incident.
"He's ready to bounce back," Roufus told MMAjunkie.com. "Hopefully the UFC still wants to book that fight."� ...
Rumors of the demise of Dream are untrue. The Japanese promotion is planning New Year's Eve event and has a news conference scheduled for Thursday to unveil details of the event as well as plans for the future of the organization, according to a report by AsianMMA.com. Dream was formerly under the ownership of Real Entertainment, which closed its doors earlier this year. The New Year's Eve event and any future Dream plans will be organized under new ownership, which is expected to be revealed on Thursday. ...
Josh Koscheck, who hasn't fought since his split decision loss to Johny Hendricks in May at UFC on Fox 3, was hoping to get in one more fight in 2012, but it looks like he will have to wait until 2013 to make his return. An injury knocked Koscheck out of a bout against Jake Ellenberger in September.
"Doesn't look like the UFC has a fight for me until 2013. So I'll just train and get better," Koscheck wrote on Twitter on Tuesday.
Koscheck has targeted Nick Diaz, Demian Maia, Ellenberger and Rory MacDonald for his return.
"They know I'll fight anyone," Koscheck wrote. "I even said I'd fight at 185 if needed." ...
Lyman Good vs. Michail Tsarev
When: Friday
Where: Nutter Center, Fairborn, Ohio
How to watch: Bellator 78 main card on MTV2 at 8 p.m.; Bellator 78 prelims on Spike.com at 3 p.m.
Outlook: Good (13-2) and Tsarev (24-2) meet in Bellator's Season 7 welterweight tournament semifinals in the main event at Bellator 78.
Prediction: Tsarev is one of the top young Russian prospects. He has the edge over Good in the grappling a submission department, but Good has the edge in the stand-up and striking categories. Good also has a solid wrestling base and takedown defense. Good, the first Bellator 170-pound champion, outpoints Tsarev to get to the finals.
Record in 2012 picks: 21-10

I've come across a slight problem for writing memory management with regard to the internal representation of types in a compiler for statically typed, complex languages. Consider a simple snippet in C++ which easily demonstrates a type that refers to itself.
class X {
void f(const X&) {}
Types can have nearly infinitely complex relationships to each other. So, as a compiler process, how do you make sure that they are properly collected?
So far, I've decided that garbage collection might be the right way to go, which I wouldn't be too happy with because I want to write the compiler in C++, or alternatively, just leave them and never collect them for the life of the compile phase for which they are needed (which has a very fixed lifetime) and then collect them all afterwards. The problem with that is that if you had a lot of complex types, you could lose a lot of memory that way.

In his four-year pontificate, Benedict XVI has managed several major and costly missteps, particularly in his relationships with Muslims and Jews. Fortunately, he has proved personally adept at making necessary and well-received amends, however belatedly. His visit to Turkey in 2006 was a religious and political success. His outreach to Jews earlier this year after lifting the excommunication of a Holocaust-denying bishop met with a graciousness that the pope suggested was more generous than the response he got from some members of his own household of faith.
Still, Jewish-Vatican relations remain delicate in the aftermath of the Bishop Williamson scandal. As the pope headed to the Holy Land earlier this month for an eight-day visit, he had his work cut out for him.
Benedict began his pilgrimage in Jordan, where he was greeted by the king and local Muslim and Christian leaders. He then flew to Tel Aviv and met with the president and the prime minister of Israel, and later with Palestinian leaders in Bethlehem. His itinerary included visits to a Palestinian refugee camp, the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial, and Jerusalem's Noble Sanctuary and sacred Western Wall. He spoke with the Holy City's Muslim and Jewish leaders. At Jerusalem's Notre Dame Catholic Center—where he did not receive an honorary degree or bestow a Laetare Medal—he experienced the difficulties of achieving the peace...

The Citroen DS3 Red special edition has been unveiled. Based on the mid-range DS3 DStyle and range-topping DS3 DSport trim levels, the Red model adds extra equipment and a Red Touch interior and exterior pack.
The DS3 Red models are available in white or - for an extra £480 - metallic black, and all cars feature a contrasting red roof and door mirror caps. The front grille and Citroen chevrons are also finished in red, and the alloys are painted in either white or black to match the body colour.
Inside, the DS3 Red models include a large swathe of gloss red across dashboard and around the door handles.
The DS3 DStyle Red models include Citroen's Connect Signature pack as standard, which includes Bluetooth and USB connectivity, and extra speakers for the stereo.
DSport Red models also benefit from the Connect Signature pack as standard, and also get automatic headlights and wipers, rear parking sensors, electric door mirrors, an auto-dipping rear view mirror, interior mood lighting and a front central armrest.
The Citroen DS3 DStyle Red version can be had with a 120bhp petrol or 90bhp diesel engine, costing from £15,655 and £15,855 respectively, and £805 more than the regular DS3s that they're based on.

All models come with six-speed manual gearboxes and are on sale now.

the plugin was always working fine, but it stopped autoamtically sending the backup to the email according to the settings.
It sends the backup ONLY if:
I go to: wp-admin/admin.php?page=wp-dbmanager/database-manage.php
I chose to send the backup to the email given, and
I get this message "Database Backup File For '12 April 2013 @ 13:29' Successfully E-Mailed To 'mymail'"
It doesn't work if:
In the wp-admin/admin.php?page=wp-dbmanager/wp-dbmanager.php settings I chose to backup every 1 day.
And even though there is written "Next backup date: 13 April 2013 @ 13:22" it won't send any email.
To summarize:
it sends the emails only if sent manually, not in automatic mode.
More details:
Yes, the backup gets created every day. The only problem is with the scheduled emailing.
The problem is with the plugin not sending the emails. Not with the mail server not receiving them, since there is no track in the sending mail server logs of any attempt.
I hope you can help

Welcome to the 2016 member year. It's hard to believe that this is our 5th year in existence. What started as an idea and a belief in our fanbase has grown into first a movement, then a family and now a way of life. A way of life not only for us that call Jacksonville home, but also for our brothers and sisters across the country as well as overseas. In many ways It's been a long 5 years. It's probably a miracle that most of us have survived. Our time has been filled with more crazy memories than wins, more hangovers than touchdowns scored and more new friends made than we ever imagined possible. With things improving on the field, we at BCB think it's time for us all to STAND UP and be counted. It's time to step up our game. When the team makes the next step, together, we'll be ready.
Here's to another great year building memories. #DTWD

A few of the students have speech-language IEPs and I spend additional time with them outside of this classroom.
Several weeks into the school year, the classroom teacher planned a lesson that focused on sensitivity to other disabilities; this was done to help address the needs of one of the students in this class who was also legally blind. The teacher for the visually impaired came and showed the class Braille, talked about the challenges of visual deficits, and had her visually impaired student demonstrate using the cane to help walk through the hallways and classroom. It was tough for these students to attend the entire time, but they all appeared interested and asked questions.
About a month later, one of my favorite students with autism came to see me for a session in my classroom. We had been working on a describing and vocabulary task and I used the word "blond". She wasn't familiar with the term and I proceeded to describe it and show her someone in the hallway who had blond hair. As part of our word/spelling play, I showed her that it was different from the word "blind", and she appeared to not know that word either. I thought I was refreshing her memory by telling her that blind meant unable to see and to remind her that someone in her social skills class was, in fact, blind.
She looked blankly at me, and when I told her the boy's name her reaction tickled me. She appeared totally startled that this classmate was blind and asked me in a whispered voice, "Does he know?" and then "Can we tell the teacher this?"
I learned the valuable lesson that just because students with autism appear to be attending and interacting with classmates, what I take for granted is common knowledge may not be as obvious as I think. It may not have even been observed at all, and may require explicit teaching as part of social awareness instruction.

SDCC: "Batman: The Killing Joke" Cast & Crew Debuts Film at Comic-Con International
As a prelude to this summer's He-Man and the Masters of the Universe comic book revival, DC Comics and comiXology today kicked off a digital-first He-Man comic series. The first issue, written by Geoff Johns with art by Howard Porter and John Livesay, is available now for 99 cents.
The comic features Sir Laser Lot, a MOTU character that Johns first envisioned when he was eight years old. Sir Laser Lot will debut as an action figure this summer at the San Diego Comic-Con as a part of the line's 30th anniversary.
"I've been a huge fan of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe since I was a kid, so it's cool to write a story for this new series — not to mention teaming up with Howard Porter and John Livesay, my old Flash partners in crime," stated Geoff Johns. "And to create an all-new character that will become an action figure – Sir Laser Lot — it's beyond fun. I'm going to buy like 100 of them."
The digital series will debut new chapters twice a month on Saturdays. The second chapter, due July 14, is written by Mike Costa with artwork by Jheremy Raapack, and it tells the story of Battle Cat. The third digital chapter, written by Kyle Higgins with artwork by Pop Mhan, is an adventure with the captain of the Eternia guard, Man-At-Arms.
Check out the cover as well as the Sir Laser Lot action figure after the jump.
Sunday was a great day. It started off awesomely with a marriage proposal. A young man named Matthew had hired my friend Grant to draw a picture of Buffy the Vampire Slayer for his girlfriend, Lisa, a Buffy fan. When they picked up the commission, Lisa read the word balloons, "Hi, Lisa. Matthew tells me he loves you very much and he has a very important question to ask…"
DC Comics will return to Eternia in July with a six-issue He-Man and the Masters of the Universe limited series by James Robinson, Phillip Tan and Ruy Jose, MTV Geek reports.
Although several companies, from Marvel to Image to CrossGen, have released comics based on the Mattel toyline, DC was the first, introducing Superman to He-Man, Battle Cat, Skeletor and other characters in July 1982's DC Comics Presents #47, followed by Masters of the Universe inserts in more than a dozen titles and, later that year, a three-issue miniseries.
In the new series, Skeletor has discovered a way to reshape reality, making himself ruler of Castle Grayskull while leaving the heroes of Eternia as peasants with no memories of their former lives. As for Prince Adam, the alter-ego of He-Man? He's a woodsman who thinks his visions of wielding a sword in battle are merely dreams.
"Adam is in a place where he really has to reconnect with what it means to be a Master of the Universe," Robinson tells MTV Geek. "It's his odyssey, much like the Greek myth in fact, that is the backbone of this series."
I'm not one to lay out exuberant adjectives, but this piece by Eric Powell gets me jazzed on a couple levels. Check it out:
It's a painting The Goon artist did for a mini-comic inserted in selected toy action figure packages for He-Man recently. This gem popped up on my radar when it came up as an eBay auction by Powell's account there, and although there's little chance we'll see Powell ditching his creator-owned digs for a trip to Eternia, the fact that Dark Horse is the one publishing this comic for He-Man is interesting … could they be acquiring the license for He-Man, side by side with Conan?
I love He-Man and I don't care who knows it. To my mind, the Masters of the Universe is one of the great untapped influences/resources in nerddom, a breathless (some might even say senseless) amalgamation of fantasy, science fiction, space opera, superheroes, pulp barbarians, and toyetic skunk dudes named Stinkor that in many ways prefigures contemporary comics' fast and loose genre riffs and mash-ups, from Orc Stain to Prison Pit. The toys and the cartoon were good fun, but for sheer imagination-firing power, it's tough to beat the line's concept art. Aeron Alfrey of the indispensable art blog Monster Brains has assembled two eye-popping galleries of MOTU madness, one dedicated to paintings (in particular the work of the great Earl Norem), the other to comic and cartoon art. They have the power.
My big question heading into the show this year was, "How much is it going to feel like a comics convention?" With Chris "Thor" Hemsworth and much of the cast of Chuck being around this weekend, would C2E2 start to feel like San Diego or – God forbid – Wizard World Chicago from a couple of years ago with movies and TV taking over the center of attention?
It's only Friday, but so far so really damn good.
After last year's C2E2, I had high expectations for the convention this year and everything got off to a great start. Press registration went smoothly again and some of the Artist Alley creators who hadn't attended last year told me how impressed they were with the professionalism and just general niceness of the staff they'd worked with.
One major difference though is that the convention's in a different part of McCormick Place this year. Instead of the impressive Lakeside Center with it's unbelievable view of Lake Michigan and downtown Chicago, it's in the West Building. Still a very nice space with lush carpeting and plenty of room, just not as jaw-droppingly grand as last year. I'm not sure why that is, but one artist brought it to my attention that the setting sun through the giant picture-windows last year could sometimes make it difficult to see and interact with fans. So whatever the rationale for moving, there are positive and negative things about both spaces.
I think we can all agree it's a great day that sees not one but two '80s sci-fi-fantasy icons fed through a Tom of Finland filter by talented cartoonists — and my friends, today is a great day. Both Johnny Ryan and Nick Mullins have taken inspiration from the uber-macho gay erotica artist for their drawings of characters from Tron and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, respectively. Will anyone else follow suit with, say, Thundercats or The Last Starfighter or something? All I know is that Destro and Doctor Mindbender are already dressed for the occasion …

What do you suggest for JS development IDE. Is there something similar to VisualStudio IDE, so I can run/debug my application in it?
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.
closed as off-topic by Daniel A. White, Harry, EdChum, David, Stephan Muller Sep 30 '13 at 8:33
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
A few options:
At JetBrains we've just developed lightweight HTML/Javascript/CSS IDE WebStorm that includes very smart JavaScript Editor with DOM-based autocompletion and HTML5 API support. It allows you to debug(breakpoints supported) and run your scripts directly from IDE.
I think IntellJ's JavaScript support is excellent, just like everything else that they do.
Netbeans 6.x and Firefox+Firebug
Give it a try, its free!
I've found Aptana Studio to be good.
I tend to recommend more and more Netbeans
I use it for a while now and I am very satisfied. It is fast, provides code completion and integrates easily major JS libraries (Prototype, YUI). It has also a debugger that you can tied to FF or IE.
Try it you won't be disappointed!
Komodo IDE (or the free Komodo Edit if you can live without an integrated debugger) are pretty nice.
Here's a good list of IDEs you can use for writing JavaScript:
Nowadays I am using JetBrains' PHPStorm and I can easily say, this is the best editor I've ever tried. Comes with lots of features that I have not seen at other editors like,
Sometimes I deal with PHP so I prefer PHPStorm, so Front End Developers should prefer WebStrorm that is specialized for us.
I think, every FE Developer should try PHPStorm or WebStorm with Firefox and Firebug.
I tried few IDE last week and NetBeans is my winner. It got silent upload option for file upload in background. And very good code completion, folding, etc.
Here is my experience with the applications based on Extjs in UI with Java as server side language. I am a big supporter of open source technologies/products.
I so far I have used Eclipse, Netbeans, Webstorm and notepad++ with some added plugins.
And I feel Netbeans is best in terms of Syntax highlighting and formating. It recognizes missing commas, global variables, duplicate keys for object literals in a very impressive way.
Almost similar things can be achieved by adding some pligins like Spket in eclipse too, but it asks for licence when you go for advance level of settings.
If you are not so much concern about an integrated environment with web server then Web storm is best in all the aspects, but the biggest drawback of it is, "Its paid". ( Even if it asks for 1000 Rs ).
Firebug and a good syntax highlighting text editor is about the best combo. It's not necessary to add in much else. With just this combo you get:
And there are tools which add on to Firebug:
One of the advantage of Javascript development is that it's flexible and you can get instantaneous feedback while developing. I see no reason to get in the way of that by adding an IDE which includes a "deployment" step.
Notepad++ comes with built-in javascript syntax highlighting and JSlint plugin is very handy. IMHO for debugging there is nothing better than Chrome developer tools or Firebug.
This page reviews the most advanced Javascript IDEs (in terms of refactoring and intellisense anyway) :
Eclipse and JSEclipse plugin and of course Firefox + Firebug the ultimate duo. You'll find this development setup satisfactory.
Aptana is a great IDE as it will provide intelli-sense for CSS, javascript, html, java, etc. The debugger gives you the choice to run in FF or IE and is a full featured debugger. The community edition allows you to run a server side javascript as well. A very solid and feature rich platform for free.

Absolute Linux 13.0.9 Reinstates K3b
The new Absolute Linux, based on Slackware, provides the IceWM stacking window manager with improved multimedia support. Version 13.0.9 this time fixes more than just a couple of small bugs.
Absolute maintainer Paul Sherman has satisfied users with three successive updates over a ten-day period. Reason for the updates starting with 13.0.7 at the end of January was problems with the CD/DVD burning. After Sherman settled on Brasero in 13.0.8, he decided to go with a 13.0.9 to include the KDE3 version of K3b:
"Just got tired of problematic CD burning, deciding, finally, that enough was enough. We'll use something that works."
Apart from kernel 184.108.40.206 and a number of Slackware updates from January, the new Absolute contains the DVDStyler and markedly improved multimedia support. The 800 MByte or so CD image is available in a 32-bit version on the project homepage or for download from Sourceforge.

Polo played on bicycles. Played either hard-court (relatively new) or on grass (over 100 years of tradition), there is dispute over weather the sport originated in India or Ireland. Two teams try to bat a tiny soccer ball through opposing goal posts without dabbing their feet on the ground.
All's fair in love, war and bike polo.

Storm knocks out powerJune 18,2013Heavy rains knocked out power in the southwestern corner of the county Monday afternoon.
Green Mountain Power spokeswoman Dorothy Schnure said that a tree fell across powerlines and lightning hit a substation, concentrating outages in the area. Other parts of the state had smaller, more isolated power losses.
At the height of the outage, GMP reported more than 2,000 customers without power in Pawlet — more than the population of the town. Schnure said that the circuits were located in Pawlet, but some of the customers were likely located in the surrounding towns.
The Pawlet customers were back up by 5:15 p.m. Newfane also took a hit, with more than 700 customers without power late Monday afternoon.MORE IN This Just InNORTH BENNINGTON Two public meetings, in North Bennington and Shaftsbury, have been set for...

Points, Lines, Angles, and Planes
Algebra in Geometry
You thought you were done with algebra. Unfortunately, math continually builds on itself like an endless dance of the Hokey Pokey, and geometry is no exception. Now shake it all about.
We might be asked to find the measure of an angle or line segment, and in addition to understanding the geometric relationships between the parts of the picture, we'll also need to flaunt our algebra skills (if you've got it, flaunt it!) to finish the problem off for good.
Typically our plan of attack will be something like this:
- Draw a picture (if we don't have one already).
- Use geometry to figure out a relationship between some of the unknown quantities.
- Form an equation or two (or seven) using this relationship.
- Solve the equations for whatever variables appear. Here's where algebra sneaks into the picture. What a creeper.
- If necessary, plug in the variables to get whatever the question is asking us for. One commonly overlooked but essential thing to do is to answer the question that's being asked.
- Check to make sure that our answers actually make sense within the geometrical relationships. This will make sure our answer is right.
Armed with this strategy, we can run through a few examples.
Sample Problem
In the picture, m∠ABC = 2x + 7 and m∠DBE = 4x – 14. What is the measure of ∠ABC?
Now, you could be a smart-aleck and say, "Duh! Angle ABC equals 2x + 7," but this answer probably won't give you many points. Who knows what that x is? If you told a carpenter to cut a piece of wood at a 2x + 7 degree angle, the carpenter might cut off your thumbs with a hacksaw. Instead, we should probably solve the problem.
Since ∠ABC and ∠DBE are opposite each other and come from intersecting lines, they're vertical (and therefore congruent) angles. This means m∠ABC = m∠DBE. Now we're getting somewhere: we can plug in what we know about the angles to get:
2x + 7 = 4x – 14
Now, we move all the variables to one side and the numbers to the other to get:
21 = 2x
Dividing both sides by 2 gives us:
x = 10.5
It's tempting to draw a box around it and say, "Look, there's x. We're done. Woohoo!" But does that answer the question? We wanted to find the measure of angle ∠ABC. That means we should plug x = 10.5 back into 2x + 7.
m∠ABC = 2x + 7
m∠ABC = 2(10.5) + 7
m∠ABC = 28°
Just to check that everything makes sense, we should calculate m∠DBE by plugging the x we found into 4x – 14.
m∠DBE = 4(10.5) – 14 = 28°
Their measures are equal, just like they should be. That's our answer.
Sample Problem
An angle measures 25 degrees more than its complement. What is its measure?
Since this problem didn't even extend the common courtesy to draw us a picture, we can draw our own. We should have two complementary angles, so let's draw it as a right angle split into two parts (remember, it's right to give compliments):
What else do we know? The only other piece of information is that one of the angles is 25° bigger than the other one. If we label the smaller angle x, the larger one would have to be x + 25.
We know complementary angles add up to 90°, so that means:
x + (x + 25) = 90
We can add those x's together.
2x + 25 = 90
Solving for x gives us:
x = 32.5
Now we can fix our picture to include the actual measurements of the angles:
Now, what's the question asking for? Quoth the problem, "Nevermore."
Oops. We meant, quoth the problem, "An angle measures 25 degrees more than its complement. What is its measure?" Since the angle the question cares about is bigger than its complement, that means the answer to the question is 32.5 + 25 = 57.5°. Finally, we quickly check that 32.5 + 57.5 = 90°, so the angles are actually complements after all.

Andie has just finished eighth grade and will be starting high school in the fall. The good news: Her super-popular valedictorian big sister, Claire, is graduating and won't be there to put Andie in the shadows. The bad news: Her super-popular valedictorian big sister, Claire, is graduating and won't be there to help her. But Claire hasn't forgotten Andie.
For her little sister, Claire has put together a guide that covers everything a freshman needs to know but didn't even think to ask. Andie reads every word and even shares it with her best friend, Bess.
But sometimes they wonder if Harvard-bound Claire got everything right! In this hilarious and honest look at one girl's heroic attempt to conquer high school, readers will get all the benefit of Claire's wisdom about making those four years more than bearable—and absolutely memorable. Fortunately, high school happens only once in a lifetime.
From the Hardcover edition.
This slender book-within-a-book, while witty, reads more like background for a novel than a full-fledged work in itself. Claire, who has just left for Yale, has penned little sister Andie a guidebook to the private high school where Claire reigned supreme and where Andie is poised to enter as a freshman. With her bestie Bess (who's about to enter a Catholic school), Andie-and readers-absorb Claire's words of wisdom, which have been set into the pages of an old field guide to "poisonous plants" and "venomous animals." This wry touch closely resembles the use of zoology in Mean Girls, a movie quoted here along with other pop culture references. Kids familiar with those references will already know Walsh's (Not Like I'm Jealous or Anything) territory and players (goths, skaters, Muffys, Hiltons). Some of Claire's counsel might be shrewd but it's hard to implement (she tells her sister to be sick on the day of the ninth-grade class trip, since "nothing good comes of it"); much is obvious (while giving students distinct labels, she notes that "everyone... is insecure. Everyone. Insecure. Equally"). The narrative element, exploring the bond between the sisters, is too thin to compensate for the lack of a plot. Ages 12-up. (Aug.)Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information
Anyone who has survived high school knows that simply mastering the complex social structures can take as much hard work and studying as history, geography, or biology. That is the premise of Marissa Walsh's novel, in which eighth-grader Andie's high-achieving older sister Claire (on the way to Yale for "some pre-pre-preorientation college thing") gives her younger sister a doctored-up Peterson's field guide to poisonous plants and venomous animals. In this case, though, Claire has cleverly replaced the field guide text with her own recommendations about surviving the treacherous landscape of her (and soon to be Andie's) private high school. Claire offers advice on everything from how to get to school ("It's not cool to take the bus, but it's not as bad as being driven by a parent or other adult.") to how to spend the lunch hour ("Lunch is, above all, a social activity. Eating is secondary.") to which sports are cool (field hockey--"there's nothing cuter for fall than a little field hockey skirt") and which are not (softball--"don't even think about it."). Claire's guidelines, which often take the form of lists identifying different social types, school traditions, and more, are interspersed with the commentary of Andie and her best friend Bess as they digest the information Claire has imparted and prepare to face the years ahead. Although Walsh's unusual format is initially appealing, the rare glimpses into Andie's personality fail to advance her story, making the book more valuable as a work of social satire than as an insightful novel per se. Nevertheless, readers (especially those navigating the wilds of their own schools) will appreciate thegood-humored perspective and snarky commentary offered by Claire's most unconventional field guide. Reviewer: Norah Piehl
Gr 7-9
When Claire heads off to Yale (early admission), she leaves her eighth-grade sister a book entitled A Field Guide to High School . In it, she explains the key to running the social and academic gambit at their private school, and discusses the elements of each social group and the importance of knowing what not to wear. She stresses the need to choose the right people from the very start of school, and tells her how she was so successful: "By being constantly aware of my surroundings. By keeping my friends close and my enemies closer. By striking first." Claire's voice is witty and wry and easy to read, but it lacks a personal connection. The font changes between narrator and commentary by Andi and her best friend, providing nicely spaced text. The occasional spot illustrations resemble those found in field-guide manuals, yet each one is labeled to reflect an aspect of high school (Scorpions/Spiders/Centipedes; Sophomores/Juniors/Seniors). The numerous pop-culture references and even top 10 lists enable readers to connect with the novel but it reads just like a field guide with minimal character/reader interaction.

The day my older sister, Claire, left for college she gave me this book.
This is how it happened. When I went outside to get in the car that would bring Claire and her stuff to college, there was a minifridge in my seat. And it wasn't moving. "It's either it or me," I said. My parents looked at each other. My mother gave me money for pizza and said they wouldn't be home too too late. My father gave me a weak smile. As they pulled away, Claire smirked out the window, then made that stupid Macaulay Culkin Home Alone face at me: a hand on each cheek and her mouth opened wide. I gave her the finger. Then I went back inside–there was no reason to start the day at this ungodly hour. Claire was the crazy one who had insisted on leaving at five-thirty a.m. because she wanted to beat her roommate there so she could get the best side. "Everyone knows that's how it works," she had explained. I didn't think that was the nicest way to start things off, but I didn't say anything. You couldn't argue with Claire.
She had signed up for some pre-pre-preorientation college thing so she could "survey the competition, get a jump on everyone else, and hit the ground running." Part of her motivation for doing this was because she had, according to her, been given the worst incoming first-year student at Yale for a roommate. Someone who had probably only applied there because she wanted to be like Rory on Gilmore Girls. Or First Daughter Barbara Bush. I didn't think being like Rory was such a bad thing, but I kept my mouth shut. Besides, I secretly thought it was possible Claire had chosen Yale for the same reason.
What had happened was, my sister had sent the nice, summertime hello-I-like-to-sleep-with-the- window-open friendly e-mail to her roommate and received no response. My sister was not used to receiving no response. This was not how one treated my sister.
That girl was toast.
And so was I.
Claire had been like Ms. Plumstead Country Day, which was the stupid name of the stupid high school I'd be going to and she had just graduated from. She was popular, captain of the field hockey team, pretty, and smart. Yes, she was a total high school cliché. They should have shipped her out to Laguna Beach. And now she was going to Yale, where she would probably become a total college cliché. And I was starting at Plumstead, pretty sure no one would ever be crowning me anything except "Claire Petersen's little (maybe she's adopted?) sister."
I hadn't wanted to go to Plumstead. Claire and I had always gone to public school, but then when it was time for Claire to go to high school she was recruited by Plumstead, and for some reason I still don't understand my parents agreed to send her there.
It had never occurred to me that I would have to go there, too. I just assumed I would go to the public high school, or to Pope Mother Teresa XXXIII, the Catholic school my best friend, Bess, was going to. But I didn't even get a choice. As usual, I was paying the price of being related to Claire.
Plumstead hadn't recruited me–they were just stuck with me because I was related to her. I wasn't a star like Claire. I got Bs. I was good at soccer but I wasn't the captain. I never scored. If Bess were here she would point out that that's because I played defense, which is true. But it is also true that I am just average. My big sister is the most interesting thing about me. As I jumped back into bed, my knee hit something hard. I reached under my blanket: it was a book. But it wasn't mine and it hadn't been there when I'd gotten up. Claire. Either she had forgotten it or it was an overdue library book she wanted me to return for her. Typical.
My cell phone rang. It was five-forty-five. Who would be calling?
"Did you find it?"
"The book I left for you?"
"Who is this?"
Claire snorted. "Oh, so you've forgotten me already?"
I started to hang up.
"Wait! Andie! Are you in my room?"
I tried to go back to sleep but the book taunted me from the floor. It was as if Claire had never left. And with the new family-plan cell phones she had insisted my parents invest in for college (playing the safety card really works, by the way), she would continue to call me until I had read it and given her an A+. It was either that or change my number.
To be honest, I had nothing better to do. I opened the book, which Claire had modestly titled "A Field Guide to High School." It looked like she had found an actual old field guide at a used-book store–this one was about poisonous plants and venomous animals–except that she had pasted over the descriptions of poison oak and scorpions. It was one of those Peterson's guides, which was mildly amusing, because our last name just happens to be Petersen, with an "e." I guess there was a reason my sister had gotten into Yale–she could be clever when she wanted to be.

Andie's nervous about starting high school. What if everyone compares her to her super-popular sister and finds her lacking?
Since Claire just graduated, she won't be there to help Andie, but neither will she be there to overshadow her. The day Claire leaves for college, she leaves behind a present for Andie: a field guide to high school.
Inside, she dishes on what not to do, the differences between the cliques, and the knowledge that everyone's insecure in high school. Is the answer really to just be yourself?
Andie shares the guide with her best friend, Bess, who will be attending a different high school. While the two friends pour over the guide with amusement and wonder, they realize that this tiny guide dishes on everything high school.
Readers will be left wondering if Andie follows her sister's advice and if she survives high school, though, since the book only spans one day.

Re: Denial because of bankruptcy on records but I got CHASE RECON to approve me!
trappedatuf wrote:
I just want to say THANK YOU for such a great resource and for all of your posts! I applied for the Chase Sapphire Preferred card based on the comments on the board and I was denied. It was odd because I was just approved for an AmEx Platinum but denied for this? Anyway, I waited for the letter to arrive and their reason for denial was "A bankruptcy appears on your credit report".
I figured "oh well" but looked through the boards a little more and then found the phone number to the RECON department (888-245-0625) and decided to give it a try based on what people wrote for other denials from Chase. The first operator told me there was nothing they could do because they don't accept people with previous bankruptcies that show on their reports. I let her know that it was a little over 7 years ago and insisted to speak with a supervisor. She even told me they would probably say what she said but I decided to try anyway and it PAID OFF!!! The supervisor was great and after asking me several more personal questions I was approved for a $10k credit line with CSP!
Awesome and just wanted to post on here to help anyone in the future that might be in my position! Persistance paid off in this case.
Thats awesome. Yea I applied for the CSP also the first person I talked too got pretty rude at me as if it was out of the question for me to get one just because of the BK. She wouldn't listen or factor in the facts of my high bank balance or my paid off chase auto loan or my great usage and pay off of my INK card. Just pointed out the BK. So I hung up and called the exec office they seemed much more willing to help I'll find out tomorrow hopefully. If they still want to site the BK as the reason I'll just move my $$$ to NFCU who just gave me their Flaship Visa Siggy and a $32k Autoloan. Seems they would appreciate my business more.
