Statement attributable to the Spokesman for the Secretary-General on situation in Gaza
New York, 8 August 2014
The Secretary-General expresses his deep disappointment that the parties were unable to agree to an extension of the ceasefire in their talks in Cairo. He condemns the renewed rocket fire towards Israel. More suffering and death of civilians caught up in this conflict is intolerable.
The Secretary-General urges the parties to swiftly find a way back to respect of the humanitarian ceasefire and to continue negotiations in Cairo to reach a durable ceasefire.
The extension of the ceasefire is absolutely essential for talks to progress and to address the underlying issues of the crisis as soon as possible. The Secretary-General firmly calls on the parties not to resort to further military action that can only exacerbate the already appalling humanitarian situation in Gaza.

p.s. brush your teeth....-_-
sweetie's face in the 2nd panel XD
Aww!! This is so freaking adorable!!
so happy
so happy
Aww! Short chapter but Awww!
I like the idea of Rarity secretly training Spike to be her ideal husband. Making him do chores, carry heavy things to build muscle, giving him hygiene advice here, and hinting at what she wants for HH Day next year. Clever girl.
I like how "angry" Sweetie looks once she hears who had given her big sister that scarf. XD
She recognized Spike's breath. XD
Liquid Pride.
oh god this is making me daww for real <3
Daaaw that t was cute.
Dat Sweetie belle expression!
Ha, I love Sweetie Bell's expression! Fun comic, I've enjoyed reading it so far.
Awh! What a nice way to start off a warming relationship. Take your time Spike, love isn't something to speed up.
Whoooah...you don't see too many star tampons now a days
That would be 'tampon stars' >.< *snickers*
panel 5- Spike has 6 legs 0_0
Aww, that was adorable and Sweetie Belle's face is priceless in the second panel
I noticed the same thing! Also, Rarity's face on the next panel is very nice.
Sweetie belle face is always priceless, regardless of situation!
Dragon breath must be awful, all that fire and smoke.
Guess we know why rarity doesn't like waking up next to spike in the morning...new head cannon established
I like Sweetie´s look in the second panel which is all "What? Spike got my sister something for Heart and Hooves day but not me?". XDDD
That was a short chapter.
Ah hah hah, awwwww. Things still worked out in the end.
sweetie belles face says 'you recognise spikes breath?'
lol sweetie belles expression in panel 2 XD
and i also do love how u draw ur characters, they are very cute. :3
how does Rarity know what his breath smells like? *wink* *wink*
Propably because of all the times he burps up letters or burns them up when the group is present.
So... Does his fire smell different than other fire? Like what if his breath smells like Mary Jane smoke?
dute he is a freaking baby that is grose
utterly sweat.
Dat Sweetie Belle face!!! XD (on second panel!)
Aww too cute!
LOL, sweetie's face in panel 2... just that "How do you know what Spikes breath smells like...?" look XD

Viewer Comments: Clostridium Difficile Colitis - Symptoms
Patient Comments & Reviews
The eMedicineHealth doctors ask about Clostridium Difficile (C. difficile, C. diff, Antibiotic Related Colitis):
Clostridium Difficile Colitis - Symptoms
What were the symptoms of your clostridium difficile colitis?
Comment from: Lulu, 35-44 (Patient) Published: March 11
I tested positive for Clostridium difficile back in January and since then tested negative 3 times which is good, but I still feel so sick not with the going to bathroom but just don't feel right. Some days are good some bad, I wonder if this is normal after testing negative. I also think I got an ulcer from all this ordeal. When I eat now I get crazy pains above the belly button to breast, and it keeps me up at night. Last night I thought I was having a heart attack, it was so bad so I went to emergency but they would only check to make sure it is not my heart, and said to see my family doctor. Sometimes I feel like going crazy and feel like I will never get better.
Comment from: Jenny, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: February 05
I was a pretty healthy person until this Clostridium difficile colitis got me. I exercise, eat healthy, and am not overweight. I slowly became bloated, had cramps, and was very tired. The pain was so bad I went to the emergency room (ER). I had a CT scan and told I was constipated. I told them about small odd bowel movements that were explosive. I asked if they could test my stool, they said they don't do that but a specialist could, and they insisted I was constipated. They put me on Miralax and a giant jug of liquid to drink every 30 minutes till I cleaned myself out. Of course this did nothing to help. Back to my doctor, I was sent to a gastrointestinal (GI) specialist, who could not see me for another 3 weeks! I begged and got in to see the GI specialist in a week, had the stool test finally, and was found positive for C. difficile. By researching I knew that was a huge possibility, I had the exact symptoms. I just finished a round of the standard antibiotics for C. difficile, Flagyl. I felt better towards the end of that treatment, just less bowel movements, and more energy. Now it is a week since I am off medications and I'm back to square one. My doctor recheck is still a week away. I have to beg to get in again sooner. No luck. Why does a person with all the classic symptoms of C. difficile go untested in an ER! Why don't physicians take this seriously! And why don't doctors do the FMT (fecal microbiota transplant) treatment as standard procedure to cure the patient! Another loud stomach noise, cramps, and bloated night of pain! Best of luck to you all that have this, always listen to your body, be your own advocate to stay well or get well.
Comment from: Bsanberg, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: November 24
I had Clostridium difficile colitis two months ago and took Flagyl and vancomycin. I did not take any antibiotics. The only medications I was on was Flomax. They said that would not cause it. It took me several hospital stays to get rid of it. Now it's back. I'm so upset to have to go through this again.
Comment from: PAN, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: June 24
I am still fighting c. diff. I am really tired of the bloated stomach. I have heard that this is a tough infection to get rid of. I am on my second round of Flagyl for two weeks.

Gerberry to file for re-election
AUSTINTOWN — State Rep. Ronald V. Gerberry, D-59th, will file nominating petitions Friday to run for re-election for his last two-year term.
Gerberry of Austintown served in the Ohio House from 1982 to 2001 and then served as Mahoning County recorder from 2001 until he resigned in April 2007 to return to the state House to finish the unexpired term of then-state Rep. Kenneth A. Carano.
Gerberry was elected to a two-year term in 2008, and re-elected in 2010 and 2012. If re-elected this year, Gerberry couldn't run in 2016 as the state's term-limit law, approved in 1992, doesn't permit him to run for a fifth consecutive two-year term.
Let us mourn a completely unforgettable career of Gerberry. He really hit his stride when fighting for Nitro's law. He has accomplished less in a lengthy career on the public trough than perhaps any other than Bob Hagan. But then again Hagan has his wife running for his spot so the Hagans can continue to milk the public.
Please if you are a Gerberry supporter please list a bill that he was the originator of that passed and what did that bill accomplish. For years he would gladly tell people that he could not get anything done because he was in the minority.
Now Hagan and Gerberry sign a letter thanking Betras for never helping the public out with recruiting an effective candidate.
Please Gerberry don't tell us you will have your wife run next year! Just retire and leave.
I don't understand all of the hate.Gerberry and Hagan feeding from the public trough,isn't their fault,IT'S US THE VOTERS.We will never have change until,the voters stop,giving them a life time paycheck.
Good point MLC75. But it is not like we have had much of a choice. Maybe the job really doesn't matter and that's why we don't have qualified people running. I apologize. We should not blame Gerberry and Hagan for their irrelevance, it s actually institutional. Who really cares if we are represented in Columbus. I'm serious. View it like a social welfare program for small groups like the Hagans and Gerberries that would find it hard to get a job otherwise. With Hagan he wants his wife to run to array the socialist banner forward, I.e have other people pay to continue the family receiving a paycheck.
Someone once offered an explanation for the poor state of things in the valley:
"The voters are stuck on stupid."
They repeatedly reelect Democrats.
I wonder if his wife will run next just like his buddy Hagan. Might as well keep the feeding trough in the family Ron!

I stayed at the Atlantica Aeneas with my Mum (who works in a school) during the October half term. I should start by saying that was not our first choice of hotel but due to changes beyond our control to our original holiday we had to change resorts and ended up here. We were looking for a 4/5* hotel and this was the only one available but as one reviewer said, it is definitely NOT 5*.
When we arrived, check-in was a bit chaotic. People and suitcases everywhere and unlike other 5* hotels we were left to drag our own suitcases off the coach and into reception. There did appear to be glasses of orange juice sat on a tray but they were not offered to us and everyone was herded to the reception desk. The actual check-in process was quick and efficient but as our room was "just over the bridge and around the corner", we were once again left to deal with our own luggage.
It didn't get any better at dinner the first night when there were no plates available and everybody was standing around waiting to get some food. This continued at breakfast the next morning when there were no glasses for fruit juice and no bowls for cereal although this did improve as the week went on.
The food options at dinner were also extremely limited for vegetarians like myself. To the point where I ended up with pizza, chips and salad 5 nights out of 7. A couple of times there was a vegetarian sauce for the pasta but there were no other options. The whole restaurant experience was a bit of a free for all to be honest and I'm certainly not used to being in a 5* hotel where people come to dinner dressed in shorts and t-shirts.
The other problem with food is it appeared that unless you were on an all inclusive basis there was no option for food at lunchtime. The pool bars only served drinks meaning we had to go out every day in order to get a sandwich.
We also heard staff moaning constantly in English and swearing on occasion in front of the guests before being reprimanded by superiors.
The last night of our holiday took things to the extreme when the hotel decided for some bizarre reason to cram everybody into a tiny ballroom for dinner where we were virtually all sitting at the same table, you had to queue for food and there were even less options than usual.
Apparently, the hotel is getting refurbished and it definitely needs it. Although it looks very pretty from the outside, sadly the interior does not live up to this expectation. Our room, although very spacious, did need serious renovation but the mismatched drab furniture would not have met the standard of the exterior at any point in its history. The housekeeping also left something to be desired as the floor was not cleaned properly and all the towels were taken for cleaning every day (regardless of where we left them) but sometimes were not replaced. Perhaps they should "refurbish" the staff while they are at it.
The hotel overall is OK but nowhere near 5* quality, more like 3*. I would not recommend this hotel and will definitely not be returning in the future. If I return to Ayia Napa, it will be to the 5* Adams Beach across the road which I stayed at previously and found far superior.

+Jacob Gill maybe you can have a look to this website http://hanzijs.com/

Does anyone know how to actually create a new Chinese character on a Mac? I'm fully capable of finding and inserting any of the characters already on my Mac, but I'm looking to isolate radicals and turn them into individual characters for a project I'm working on. Been searching for an hour with no luck, all the help guides online teaching you how to use the character viewer... I'm sorry but using that isn't creating anything!
12 comments
Thanks for the share. I use Wenlin for info like that as well, but what I need is the ability to edit individual pixels and create my own character. For example, this character 圠 has the radical 土, but when written on the left side of a character it is no longer a flat character, same with 王 when representing 玉 etc.
Hoo I see... look at this one: http://fast.eon.com.hk:1818/econtour/
I've never tried this application but I often use eStroke (by the same company) on my mac and my ipad and it's really efficient.
It's look like they only have a Windows version but you can try to run it on VMware fusion.

I'll have to check it out on PC side, that seems like a great tool. I'm going to try out the TypeTool 3.1 demo, I think it might work.
Sounds like something similar to what we are doing for a new Mandarin Poster project . I'm using Adobe Illustrator to chop up characters.
+Dave Flynn nice! I would love to hear more about it. Basically I've been working for the past day on creating a very basic radical cheat sheet, that shows where radicals appear in every single character there is (or as many as I can find). I'm only doing around 60 to begin with, since it is a homework assignment for school, but it might be something worth expanding on later. What is really interesting is how the different positions of the radical seems to actually change the meaning. I haven't done enough research to comment further, but it is rather fascinating.
I would love to use something like Adobe since it would be so much easier, but then I wouldn't be able to make my own fonts for putting in academic papers... I can dream right!

Hi, +Thomas Roussarie thanks for linking my project http://hanzijs.com. +Jacob Gill as far as I know, it's not entirely possible without some knowledge of Chinese character encoding. I've recently started reading some papers on Chinese Lexical Models (with focus on naming & recognition), but they do focus a bit on font encoding. So you'll have to look into that, especially GB2132. If I get some more info, I'll let you know. I'm also curious how to create "nuance" Chinese characters that can be written using current encoding systems.
Thanks +Niel de la Rouviere, for the info. I'll look into some extended character sets.
Unfortunately it's easier said than done. I spent a lot time of yesterday trying to read up more on those character sets. Most of how they are encoded goes over my head. But as far as I know, it's possible to get the character you want. Good luck though!
yeah, I spent hours trying to figure this out last week, it was not fun. I'll come back to it when I have some more time, since I would love to be able to mess with characters a bit, or include 甲骨文 etc.
+Jacob Gill it doesn't sound like the method I am using is suited to what you want to do. But I am basically cutting out the radicals from Chinese characters so I can colour them differently with the character. I'm doing it in illustrator by making the character into a path and then isolating the part I need.

Emails Show Palin Surprised by Nomination
WASHINGTON—Sarah Palin's rapid transformation from a little-known governor to the vice presidential nominee on the 2008 Republican ticket was as much of a surprise to her as it was to the rest of the U.S., her email messages from the time show.
"Can you flippinbelieveit?!" she replied to a note of congratulations from an official in her administration. "Thanks for your kind words - and for keeping the homes fire burning. Thank you! We love you guys!"
The state of Alaska released more than 24,000 pages of email messages Friday sent to and from Ms. Palin during most of her tenure as governor. The messages show few signs of contact between her and national Republicans before she was announced as Sen. John McCain's running mate on Aug. 29, 2008, or that she saw herself as a likely candidate.
Highlights From Emails
See the Emails
- Aug. 4, 2008, reply to the McCain campaign about her participating in a press call on energy
- Aug. 8, 2008, email about then-President George W. Bush's visit
- Aug. 9, 2008, email about a request for her to speak at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn.
- Aug. 30, 2008, email with Mrs. Palin's reaction to her becoming Sen. McCain's running mate
In early August, Ms. Palin wrote to an aide that she and President George W. Bush had "joked about" speculation that she could be on Mr. McCain's short list of potential running mates when the president visited an Alaskan air force base on Aug. 4.
Ms. Palin had been invited to participate in a national press call on energy for the McCain campaign on Aug. 4, her scheduler wrote. Ms. Palin replied that she "could do this" if she could fit it in around a possible trip to Bethel, Alaska.
On Aug. 9, she appeared to be considering a request for her to speak at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn., but told her scheduler, "I don't want to be there five days, no need to. Todd won't be able to go, it appears. So Trig won't be going, all the more reason to keep the trip short." She was referring to her husband and newborn son.
She added that she didn't expect to need more than one aide traveling with her: "We need to remember the GOP, for the most part … especially the AK [Alaska] machine … has not had any support or assistance provided our administration so our time and efforts will continue to be spent on serving Alaskans, not party politics."
An Aug. 14 email confirmed that she had accepted a speaking slot at the convention. It isn't clear whether she participated in the energy call.
Some of the emails show Ms. Palin juggling daily issues in Alaska and concerned with the "crazy" investigation that had been opened into whether she and her family abused their influence to get her former brother-in-law fired from his job as a state trooper.
In one email, Ms. Palin listed points of disagreement she had with articles written on the investigation and asked an aide to have them corrected. "It may drive me crazy trying to catch all the corrections we'll be reading and seeing in the media, but please help me catch them and ask for the corrections," she wrote.
After her nomination was announced, Ms. Palin enthusiastically exchanged messages with staffers and supporters, including replying to one who had complimented her youngest daughter's hairstyle, "I'm telling Piper that right now!"
Journal Community
Her staff in Alaska was rarely involved in her new duties on the presidential campaign trail in the time period covered by the messages, which starts when she was inaugurated as governor and ends about 21 months later, in early September 2008.
Ms. Palin's scheduler emailed her on the afternoon that her selection as Mr. McCain's running mate was announced to tell her that Vice President Dick Cheney had "called directly from his home and asked that you give him a call."
Ms. Palin contacted her staff often on her continuing her gubernatorial duties. On Sept. 6, she told her chief of staff, "as often as possible we'll need to have the announcements come under my name in these next weeks … so alaskans know that still my #1 priority is serving them as Gov."
Tim Crawford, treasurer of Ms. Palin's political action committee, SarahPAC, said in a statement ahead of the email release Friday that messages would "show a very engaged Gov. Sarah Palin being the CEO of her state." An email to the committee Saturday wasn't immediately returned.

These are some pictures of some of the most popular valves used on spud cannons. Only difference is, these valves are cut in half to give you a better idea of their workings.
Provided By - Longshot
Yes, I am the guy that owns & operates SpudFiles (along with our extremely helpful moderators).
Maybe we should do a cutaway of a sprinkler valve... just for sh**s and giggles. I could re-acquire my old 3/4" one from my buddies garage and slice it in half. Maybe a normal barrel sealer valve would work good as well.
Sorry to kick this but what type of valve is that? It looks like a breach loading piston valve without the piston.
Current project: Afghanistan deployment
Even though your question was asked a few months back, I felt the need to answer it as it went un-answered.
That would be a diaphram valve. Looks to be about a 2.5" or 3" Tee, I can't really tell though.
P.s. I like that valve very much. Looks to be top quality and very sturdy. (Other than the fact it's cut in half..)

SourceForge.net® Announces 2007 Community Choice Awards Winners
Open Source Awards Emphasize Enterprise Apps and Collaboration
400 people present.
Winners were chosen in 11 categories, including two new categories for 2007: Technical Support and Collaboration. Among the many winners, two projects won twice; 7-Zip for Best Project and Best Technical Design; Firebird for Best Project for the Enterprise and Best User Support. Instead of a standard awards ceremony, the party celebrated each winning project in a distinct and unique way. For three projects, a donation was made in the name of the winning project to a charity of their choice. For another project, the crowd was supplied with a special drink entitled "The Bar Coder" to toast the winner in style.
"It was a super cool evening. The finalists and winners were directly selected by the community, which is the very best way to do it, if you ask me," said Ross Turk, SourceForge.net Community Manager. "But frankly, I didn't think there were any losers tonight. Greater awareness of what's being built and what's possible just help strengthen open source, and the winners represent a standard that up-and-coming innovators should strive to achieve."
The second annual SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards built on the resounding community interest and success of the inaugural awards. This year, the voting process incorporated community feedback from 2006 aimed at easier categorization and simplified voting. In keeping with the spirit of SourceForge.net, the voting was open to anyone in the community and winners were decided solely by the community. This flat, democratic approach distinguishes the SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards and places the emphasis where it should be - on the community of users.

I have two integers, $x$ and $y$ so that $x \lt y$. How many prime numbers are there between $x$ and $y$ (exclusive). Is there a formula or algorithm to compute?
Let $\pi(x) = \#\{p\leq x \mid p \mbox{ is prime}\}$ be the prime counting function. The Prime Number Theorem tells us that $$ \pi(x) \sim \frac{x}{\log x}. $$ (That is $\lim_{x\to \infty} \frac{\pi(x)}{x/\log x}=1$.) So, roughly speaking, around a large $x$, the probability that an integer is a prime is $1/\log x$. Thus, naively, one may expect that the number of primes in an interval $(x,y]$, for large $x$ is about $(y-x)/\log x$, and in a heuristic formula, $$ \pi(y)-\pi(x)\sim \frac{(y-x)}{\log x} = \frac{h}{\log x}. \qquad(*) $$ Here $h=y-x$ is the length of the interval. This heuristic makes senses only for $h$ which is much bigger than $\log x$.
From the Prime Number Theorem $(*)$ holds if $h\sim \lambda x$, where $\lambda>0 $ is fixed. From Riemann Hypothesis $(*)$ holds for $h\sim x^{1/2+\epsilon}$ for any fixed $\epsilon>0$. (Because the RH gives the error term in the PNT.) There are unconditional results by Huxley and Heath-Brown showing $(*)$ for $h$ roughly being $x^{7/12}$.
If $h=\log x \frac{\log \log x \cdot \log\log\log\log x}{\log\log\log x}$, then $(*)$ fails for a sequence $x_n \to \infty$. To deal with `small' intervals Selberg worked with almost all $x$. Namely he considered $(*)$ for all $x\in \mathbb{R}_{+}\smallsetminus S$, where $|S\cap (0,x]|=o(x)$. In this sense $(*)$ holds if $h/\log^2 x\to 0$ conditionally on RH and for $h=x^{19/77+\epsilon}$ unconditionally.
There are also works on the case $h\sim\lambda \log x$. There the distribution of the number of primes on intervals of this size is Poission with parameter $\lambda$, conditionally on the Hardy-Littlewood prime tuple conjecture. I think this is due to Gallagher.
finding the number of prime numbers between two given numbers x and y such that x
The simple answer is $\pi(y-1) - \pi(x+1)$, with $\pi(n)$ as the prime-counting function. There as no need for the Sieve of Eratosthenes as other answers have suggested, as efficient prime-counting functions exist, such as Lehmer's Formula.

Seventeen-year-old Hope Long's life revolves around her brother Jeremy. So when Jeremy is accused of killing the town's beloved baseball coach, Hope's world begins to unravel. Everyone is convinced Jeremy did it, and since he hasn't spoken a word in 9 years, he's unable to defend himself. Their lawyer instructs Hope to convince the jury that Jeremy is insane, but all her life Hope has known that Jeremy's just different than other people—better, even. As she works to prove his innocence—joined by her best friend T.J. and the sheriff's son, Chase—Hope uncovers secrets about the murder, the townspeople, her family, and herself. She knows her brother isn't the murderer. But as she comes closer to the truth, she's terrified to find out who is.

First Trimester 2nd Trimester 3rd Trimester
232 days to go...
Your baby todayAt this stage of your baby's development, the heart is a tubular structure, visible in the center of this image. It is, however, already providing your baby with a very simple circulation.
What will become your baby's tiny arms and legs are beginning to develop during this seventh week of pregnancy.
It's still some weeks before your baby-still an embryo-will become recognizable as a human fetus. At the end of this seventh week, however, there are four simple limb buds, each slightly flattened at the end where, over the next two weeks, a hand or foot will form.
With the exception of muscle tone, which comes much later on, all stages of your baby's upper limb development precede any developments in his lower limbs.
The eyes are the first recognizable landmarks to form on the face. At this stage, the eyes consist of two simple surface indentations, which then develop a second indentation within the first; the inner one will become the lens and the outer the eyeball. Your baby's eyes are wide apart at this stage and his ears and nose have yet to form.
Focus On... Nutrition
Know your fish
Fish is packed with essential nutrients that are good for your baby's development, so try to eat at least two portions a week.
You do, however, need to be careful of consuming high levels of mercury, present in trace amounts in nearly all fish and shellfish, since it can harm an unborn baby's nervous system. The FDA and the EPA recommend the following for pregnant women:
- Don't eat fish that are highest in mercury, including shark and swordfish.
- Eat up to 12 ounces per week of lower-mercury seafood like shrimp, salmon, pollock, catfish, and canned light tuna.
- For fish caught locally check local advisories regarding mercury content. If no guidance is available, eat up to 6 ounces and consume no other fish that week.
Ask A... Doctor
There is no evidence to suggest that, as long as you're healthy and have been given the all-clear from your doctor, exercise will put you at a greater risk of having a miscarriage. In fact, the benefits of getting regular moderate exercise while you're pregnant far outweigh the risks to you and your baby.
The most important factors at this stage of your pregnancy are to exercise at the same level you did prior to being pregnant. Do not attempt any new high-impact and strenuous activity or take up a new sport. Follow these guidelines.

Martania and Gregory are saving the date for their church wedding next April. Martania is an intellectual property paralegal who loves to blog about their upcoming wedding, and Gregory is a head chef and a huge Pittsburgh Steelers fan! Our happy couple wanted their engagement photos to signify their style plus the location that gave way to the early stages of their dating career. So, they chose Greensburg, PA's FineLine Weddings to shoot their mini studio engagement session.
Iconic of their classic style, this sweet and simple mini session captures the love story of two beautiful people–so obviously in love!
Wedding Style: Classic
Wedding Colors: Burgundy, Ivory, White, Gold
Photographer: FineLine Weddings
Save the Dates: MagnetStreet Weddings
For their Save the Dates …
Martania and Gregory were undecided on which design they loved best. So what did they do? They took advantage of MagnetStreet's Just One® program to decide between the two designs: Photo Collection and We Fell in Love. In the end, they chose Photo Collection Large Save the Date Magnet design! {Perfect!}
Martania said, "I choose the "Photo Collection" simply because I liked how it visually tells our love story. And I wanted everyone to see how well our engagement photos captured our love using a collage of our favorite photos."
"This design fits perfectly with our personalities because it shows us as a fun, lovely couple that appreciates elegance, family values and traditions. I like to think of our story as the "classic" hometown romance that's fun, fresh and appealing but with a modern feel – it's just the way we are!"
We couldn't agree more Martania and Gregory! Congrats to you both! And thanks for sharing your sweet e-sesh with us.
Pro Shout Out
Lori was so nice and easy-going to work with. We felt very comfortable with her. Fred is so accommodating and answered all of our questions in a timely fashion. Words cannot express how much we love our photos; they turned out fantastic! We're so pleased and excited to have booked the FineLine team as our wedding photographer.
I couldn't believe how user-friendly the personalization tool was! The features with the ability to customize and color coordinate our wedding colors was so very easy–point/click and you're done! I appreciated being able to view the many different designs with our color palette to see how everything comes together. I was really amazed at customer service in the their willingness to assist me along the way. I appreciated getting friendly reminders on my saved projects too.

Fixtures are devices used in manufacturing systems to locate, immobilize, and hold workpieces. There are many different numerical measures proposed in the literature to quantify the locating accuracy of a fixture, and its capability in firmly holding the workpiece in the presence of external loads. These numerical measures are useful in fixture layout design and the related area of grasp synthesis. As a number of numerical measures are available, a user may face the problem that how to choose an appropriate one as the optimality criterion in practice for fixture design. In this paper, we present a comparative study on several widely used optimality criteria, based on both theoretical analysis and simulation studies. First, we establish a set of inequalities, which describe the relations between several widely used numerical measures. Second, comparisons between optimality criteria are demonstrated by numerical examples.

Becoming Seven BillionEnvironment
- Highlights
- watch now
With the world's seven billionth person recently born, can we learn from the Asian megacity experience? As the population debate gets mental, we're going in search of the soul in urban sprawl.
High density living is great for the environment, right? But what does it do to our heads and hearts? The Australian psyche was moulded by the myth of the wide brown land, so what might life packed like sardines be like? Will we still be sharing a cup of sugar with our neighbours?
When the world's seven billionth person was born on October 31st this year, ABC Radio National commerated the occasion by convening a population debate between pro-growth Vs sustainable-growth proponents at the Wheeler Centre in Melbourne.
Hosted by Natasha Mitchell and featuring Kim Dovey, Helen Killmier, Bernard Salt and Sein-Way Tan.

Natasha, Bernard & readers,
With global financial/ social / environmental / government / leadership crises, the need to focus on the critical food, water,& energy security issues are all the more vital. How and who best to develop the appropriate registers - not disimilar to stock market indices ? In fact, a set of Balance Sheets and Operating Statements reporting these may be the way to go.

Creating plasmoids with JavaScript
With KDE 4.4, plasmoids can now be written in JavaScript or QtScript, thus opening up a whole new class of applications. Marcel shows how easy it is to build JavaScript plasmoids.
As a non-programmer, I have an insane amount of respect for programmers. Part of it is because I'm married to a programmer (insert appropriate smiley here), but part of it is because they seem to have this superhuman ability to understand strange languages and turn them into things I either need or want to have. Programmers and coders, specifically those who create free and open source software, are responsible for the amazing Linux system I am using to write this. So, my thanks to you all.

Product Description
From Amazon
The new Discworld novel Night Watch has the power and energy that characterizes Terry Pratchett at his occasional best, as well as the wild surreal humour he always gives us. Sam Vimes, running hero of the Guards sequence, finds himself cast back in time to the Ankh-Morpork of his youth--a much nastier city, with an actively deranged Patrician and a sadistic secret police--and finding himself filling in for Keel, the tough honest copper who teaches the young Vimes everything he knows. And, more worryingly, who dies heroically in the insurrection Vimes knows to be imminent. With a psychopath from his own time rising in the vile ranks of the Cable Street Unmentionables complicating things, Vimes has to ensure that history takes its course so that he will have the right future to go back to, and to keep his younger self alive--this is Pratchett's plotting at its most thoroughly constructed and wonderfully devious. Ankh-Morpork has for a long time been one of the most thoroughly imagined cities in fantasy--here Pratchett gives us a fascinating gloomy glimpse of its past and of the younger selves of some of his best-loved characters, and of the brief-lived People's Republic of Treacle-Mine Road. --Roz Kaveney --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
From Publishers Weekly
British author Pratchett's storytelling, a clever blend of Monty Pythonesque humor and Big Questions about morality and the workings of the universe, is in top form in his 28th novel in the phenomenally bestselling Discworld series (The Last Hero, etc.). Pragmatic Sam Vimes, Commander of Ankh-Morpork's City Watch, can't complain. He has a title, his wife is due to give birth to their first child any moment and he hasn't had to pound a beat in ages but that doesn't stop him from missing certain bits of his old life. Thank goodness there's work to be done. Vimes manages to corner a murderer, Carcer, on the library dome at Unseen University during a tremendous storm, only to be zapped back in time 30 years, to an Ankh-Morpork where the Watch is a joke, the ruling Patrician mad and the city on the verge of rebellion. Three decades earlier, a man named John Keel took over the Night Watch and taught young Sam Vimes how to be a good cop before dying in that rebellion. Unfortunately, in this version of the past, Carcer has killed Keel. The only way Vimes can hope to return home and ensure he has a future to return home to is to take on Keel's role. The author lightens Vimes's decidedly dark situation with glimpses into the origins of several of the more unique denizens of Ankh-Morpork. One comes away, as always, with the feeling that if Ankh-Morpork isn't a real place, it bloody well ought to be.

Once Lse-Tsu, the Sweeper, has explained the science behind the events Vimes (now known as John Keel) finds he has four days in which to educate his younger self and locate and take Carcer back with him, all before the revolution. However, he has the major advantage of a)being intelligent, b)knowing all about what should happen. So he inveigles his way into becoming a Nightwatch sergeant-at-arms, promptly shakes up the accepted corruption within its ranks and then sets off on his mission. Fairly quickly he manages to upset the course of history by ensuring the Morphic Street Conspiracy didn't end in a massacre before realising that Captain Swing of the Unmentionables has now recruited Carcer as a sergeant.Read more ›
It is springtime in Ankh-Morpork, the lilac is in bloom. As his wife Sybil is about to give birth to their first child, Commander Samuel Vimes of the City Watch heads to the cemetary of Small Gods, to commemorate the day Sergeant John Keel, his mentor, and six other coppers died some thirty yeas ago.
Later, arriving at the Patrician's Palace, he hears that Carcer, a serial killer who's been wreaking havoc around town lately, has just been cornered. This might be his only chance to arrest the murderer.
Outside, there's a storm brewing. After a chase in the streets of the city, Vimes and Carcer end up in the tower of the wizards' University, a highly magical place. And as the Commander is about to catch his prey, lighting strikes, and both are transported back in time, some thirty years earlier... Soon Carcer commits another crime and kills John Keel.
Night Watch has a strong "Back to the Future" theme, where changing events in the past... well, the now, of course affects those in the now... well, the future. Many things have changed in thirty years, and Vimes struggles to put his own past back on the track. It won't be long until he encounters his younger self. Passing himself off as Sergeant John Keel, not only will he have to teach young Sam to be a good copper, but he must also survive the oncoming Revolution.
True to form, Terry Pratchett gives us yet another witty, intelligent, hilarious Discworld novel of the City Watch, with its traditional footnotes and tongue-in-cheek humour, and some cameo appearances of Death... what more could we possibly ask for?
This book is a perfect example of Pratchett's trademark combination of action, witt and philosophy. Old fans will adore meeting Nobby Nobbs as a street urchin, Havelock Vetinari as a student assassin, and Reg Shoe as a young (and very much alive) rebel-without-a-cause. As for new readers, just read the first sentence and see if you don't like it. Go on, I dare you. Here it is:
"Sam Vimes sighed when he heard the scream, but he finished shaving before he did anything about it."
Curious? Interested? I hope so.
Terry Pratchett's writing style is so vivid and elegant that the reader is pulled right into the story. His writing is so good in fact that I think a reader would be justified in saying "I was there."

text: To all of our ITAP members and stakeholders, In July of 2014 ITAP was hit with yet another major and unanticipated funding cut from our core funder. This precipitated a cash flow crises, resulting in a complete restructuring of our organization, including the layoff of all ITAP staff. Since that time the Board of Directors has been working on a volunteer basis dedicating many hours of personal time and effort to ensure programs in place continued to be delivered in a professional manner as we also tried to negotiate with different levels of government to secure alternative sources of core funding. While we always understood that reliance on the good will of the Board of Directors to operate ITAP was not tenable in the long term, it was our hope that funding would be secured for future years to continue our efforts on your behalf. Over the last six months, ITAP has been investigating alternative sources of core funding with both Innovation PEI and Skills PEI but unfortunately over the last two weeks it has become clear that the resources being made available are insufficient to maintain a viable organization. ITAP current year's operations are being funded from our reserves, which are now close to depletion. With no new sources of core funding being made available, the ITAP Board has unanimously agreed that it is time to commence the process of shutting down ITAP operations. The dissolution of ITAP will be carried out in a manner that respects all of our contractual commitments and key programs such as the IT Garage and the Women in Technology Program. All necessary resources remain in place to ensure that the quality of these programs will not be impacted in any way. It is an understatement to say that we are saddened to find ourselves at this juncture. We were all excited by the momentum that was building but have come to the difficult decision that it would be a disservice for ITAP to try to represent the sector in such a diminished state. We have not done so lightly and rest assured that we have fully considered all the alternatives before taking this step. We would like to express our gratitude for the support you have given us and for the time and commitment that so many of you have put into ITAP over the years. We remain confident that as the Island's fastest growing sector, your respective companies will continue to flourish and grow, providing the employment and export revenues which can transform our Island's economy. Respectfully, The ITAP Board of Directors

edit: I give the M&P an 'A' overall, the Glock gets a 'B'

M&Ps are very nice, and feel great in the hand, and shoot very good as well...
Having said that, look at a G23 next to an M&P at your local gun shop. Put them next to each other on the counter and size them up. One of the great things about Glock is, its not a hair bigger than it has to be! 13+1 capacity of .40 cal does not get any more compact than the G23. That's not to say that the M&P is a big gun, but if you hold them side by side, the G23 is significantly more compact.
Now, I know the M&P holds 2 more rounds than the G23, but it was the significance size difference that sealed the deal for me.
Glock on!

Both are great, I personally like the M&P better, but you can't go wrong either way.
Ccccccc what? Ccccccccccc Hawks!
Just traded my G23 for a M&P 45 midsize. Feels better in the hand and has a manual safety which I can use or not. The loss of a couple rounds doesn't bother me (much)....but I like the 45 format. The 23 was a great handgun (must have been since I got $400 in trade at the local GS), but I just prefer Smith an Wessons.
CC my Gen 3 23 every day and love it. Plenty of rounds, easy to conceal, and reliable. Tough to go wrong with that combination.
I have the M&P FS and compact...and I love them both. Great ergonomics and both have been 100% reliable for me. The Glock has an unusual grip angle that doesn't point well for me.
Compare them both side by side at a shop.
Speak softly, and carry a big stick.
I'd go with the M&P I love mine!

The Glock grip is really different than most but if it works for you they are the best in my oppinion, I have the G23 and love it never an issue and I hit what I want when I want.

Glock 23
You failed to read the post by the OP carefully. He is considering the M&P 40 compact, and not a full size M&P. The M&P 40 compact is significantly smaller and more compact than a G23.
Your analysis here is clearly off base.
The S&W M&P 40c will have the edge in concealability, mainly due to the shorter handle enabled by the lower magazine capacity ( 10 vs 13 on the G23 ).
The M&P also has the more ergonomic grip design that is adjustable in size. Both of those factors help to make a more secure grip on a grip that is shorter.
I personally found the G19/G23 to be too big to comfortably conceal. I sold my Glock and later replaced it with a G17 for home protection, and eventually got a M&P 40c for carry usage.
To compare the gun to others in size, here is in between my Glock 17 on the top, and my Kahr PM9 below it:
In terms of both length and height, it is almost identical to my Walther PPS, except that it is much wider than the PPS, due to its double stack magazine design:
One nice plus is that it has probably the best implemented grip laser that Crimson Trace has ever made for a handgun available to add to it. Installation could not be easier, and the laser comes on automatically when one grips the gun to fire. Here is a photo of me holding my M&P 40c in my hand:

I have a theme that is around 63mb. I tried to upload it from my WP site, and that didn't work. Then I used Filezilla FTP Client to transfer the theme into the themes folder. While it was uploading I wanted to browse the themes in WordPress and to check the progress of my new "uploading" theme. Well, WP stated that it was broken because of missing CSS & missing template. I allowed the upload to finished and I logged back onto WP and I got the same problem. I deleted the file off the server. Same problem. I reinstalled WP and uploaded the them again. Same problem.
I bought the theme from themeforest. I uploaded the unzipped version on WP when I did the uploading. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
