IMO, there is no "universal" value, it depends on things like the host(s), your app, the number of clients...
In the Chapter 5 Tuning the Operating System and Platform, they show how to set it to 8192 on Solaris which seems to be a reasonable first step.
The link in Pascals reply is dead. Go to File Descriptor Settings for how to do this on Solaris. It's pretty straightforward, just remember that if you make the change using ulimit alone, the change doesn't persist.
Also the jvm option -XX:+MaxFDLimit might be what you want, but again appears to be Solaris specific. I haven't tried using this particular option.

As the school year winds down, one organization is making sure some hardworking students are recognized for their efforts.
Topeka High School's Truancy Support Group Wednesday night held a special event to recognized students who were previously identified as truant by USD 501.
The Topeka High students have improved attendance and grades during the 2007-2008 school year.
THS Truancy and Attendance Coordinator, Lysa Atkinson, said, "We picked this group of students because we knew that they needed some help. They didn't need everything. We knew there was a desire within them to succeed. We just had to help it along a little bit."
Summer school scholarships were also awarded at the group Wednesday night.

Hi Everyone
Does anyone have a good, easy rib/short rib crockpot recipe. We are having guests over this weekend and I would love to use the ribs up that I have in the freezer. I am not a very good cook though (well it's not that I am not very good, just that I don't cook very often) so would love to have something simple.
Thank you!

a1 The Dental School, and the Human Nutrition Research Centre, University of Newcastle, Newcastel upon Tyne, UK
The UK Department of Health recently recommended that flour be fortified with folic acid, at 2400 μg/kg. The objectives of the present paper were: to determine the consequence of this on folic acid intake of adolescents; to determine the level of fortification necessary to achieve an intake of 400 μg/d in adolescent girls (the amount recommended periconceptionally); to estimate the consequence of fortification on folic acid intake of high flour consumers; and to report on folate intake of adolescents. Dietary intake of folate and flour were determined by analysis of an existing database of the diets of 379 English adolescents. The folic acid intake that would result from white flour fortification with folic acid at 2400 μg/kg was determined and the level of folic acid fortification necessary to achieve an intake of 400 μg/d in girls from this source was also calculated. Without flour fortification, 6·9 % of girls failed to reach the UK lower reference nutrient intake for total folate. Fortification of white flour with folic acid at 2400 μg/kg would result in an additional folic acid intake of 191(SEM 6) μg/d in girls. To ensure 97 % of girls received 400 μg/d from white flour, white flour would need to be fortified at a level of 10 430 μg/kg, resulting in intakes of 1260 μg/d from flour in the highest (97·5 centile) female white flour consumers and 1422 μg/d from flour in the highest (97·5 centile) male white flour consumers.

And for the love of christ why would you create a thread aimed entirely at trolling the one person on this board who you know for a fact thinks everything that has to do with a black athlete in Charlotte is part of the racist bourgeoisie (which apparently has never advanced past the 1850s according to one or two posters on this board) trying to keep a minority down. There are plenty of football related things to obsess over. You're right I should be the bigger person and not bother. That said I will make a bet, If KT never mentions or alludes to race on this forum again I will not either. I actually agree with most of his posts that are not racially motivated, at times he can be a thoughtful and detailed poster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Revealed: Colorado theater gunman James Holmes had girlfriend when he went on gun rampage
New details from thousands of
emails released Wednesday reveal 'Dark Knight' shooter James had a girlfriend around the time of the attack.
She was in India at the time of the mass shooting and, according to e-mails, was 'pretty freaked out.'
The new information also reveals detailed information about the fear and confusion in the wake of the Aurora, Colorado massacre.
In the dock: Colorado shooter James Holmes appears confused while making his first court appearance at the Arapahoe County on July 23
Many of the emails are partially or
completely blacked out, the university says to avoid violating privacy
The result is minimal information on Holmes' struggles at the school or whether the institution recognized the danger he may have represented.
The emails do shed some light on how the university responded to news that one of its students was allegedly responsible for the attack that killed 12 people and wounded 58 on July 22.
Holmes' name began to circulate in
news reports a few hours after the early-morning shooting.
At 6:47 a.m.,
Angie Ribera, director of the neuroscience program, noted that the
shooter could be the 24-year-old of the same name who had just withdrawn
from her department.
Shy teenager: Holmes, pictured at the age of 16 (left) and in his official police mugshot, was described as 'really sweet' by one of his High School classmates
'Do you think we should meet with students in his class?' she asked colleagues. 'If they had been close to him, this would definitely be something that I think we should do. But as they were not, I do not know.'
An hour later, officials confirmed James Holmes was the former graduate student, and Ribera grew more alarmed. At the time, police were trying to remove booby-traps he allegedly left at his nearby apartment before leaving for the midnight screening of 'The Dark Knight Rises.'
Ribera sent an email to another senior faculty member noting that Holmes was in custody. 'However, he was friendly with 1-2 students in another program and I am worried about the safety of all (neuroscience) students and Faculty as well as the safety of all (medical) students.'
At 8:02am, the administrator of
the neuroscience program broke the news to students there and urged them
not to post anything to Facebook or Twitter.
Campus officials quickly
sought to control the flow of information.
As reporters began to bombard Holmes'
few acquaintance and professors with inquiries, administrators urged
faculty and students to refer all media calls to a spokeswoman.
Memorial: Tributes are left for victims near the scene of the tragedy in Colorado that claimed 12 lives
No sense: Students and faculty who knew Mr Holmes from the University of Colorado at Denver scrambled via e-mail to make sense of the shooting
Faculty quickly began emailing with
each other and friends about the news. Larry Hunter, who is listed as
director of the Center for Computational Bioscience, was asked about the
shooting by a friend.
'Yeah, he was a grad student here, and, it turns out, had a brief romantic relationship with one of the grad students in my program last fall,' Hunter wrote. 'She, fortunately, it turns out is in India right now.'
'She knows,' Hunter added, 'and is pretty freaked out.'
Hunter said Wednesday he would not comment.
Holmes allegedly began stockpiling
firearms and ammunition while taking classes in the spring.
In June,
prosecutors say, he made threats to a professor, and he filed withdrawal
papers June 10 after failing a year-end exam.
The next day he saw his
school psychiatrist, who tried to report him to a campus security
committee, according to Holmes' lawyers.
Disturbing: A poster on the wall is seen inside the apartment where accused killer James Homes lived
KMGH in Denver Wednesday night reported that that psychiatrist, Dr. Lynne Fenton, reached out to campus police partly because Holmes talked about killing 'a lot of people' but that she opted not to place him under a psychiatric hold because he was withdrawing from the school.
A spokeswoman said she could not comment on the report.
Four days after the attack, campus police chief Doug Abraham said at a news conference that campus police had no information on Holmes.
The school has since declined to answer detailed questions about Holmes' behavior, citing a gag order that remains in effect and federal privacy laws that limit the amount of medical and academic information it can disclose.
Those laws also limited the number of
documents released Wednesday.
At the request of defense attorneys, about 100 emails between Holmes and his family and friends were withheld because they are not covered under Colorado's Open Records Act.
The remaining documents were released only after a lengthy court battle.
A sad day: Movie-theater-shooting-victim Gordon Cowden's family walk out of the Pathways Church Denver after a memorial service on July 25, 2012 in Denver, Colorado
In correspondence from Aug. 7, an
assistant professor told colleagues that he interviewed Holmes for about
30 minutes during a recruitment visit in February 2011, then noted that
his evaluation of Holmes was entered into an internal university system
and was still available for examination.
In later correspondence, the campus director of academic support services suggested that the university was looking to get rid of that evaluation from the system.
Jim Finster, the campus director of academic support services, recalled that attorney Annalissa Philbin had 'instructed me to purge those data.'
'Admittedly, I have not completed that task yet, but was planning on doing it very shortly,' Finster wrote in an email to Philbin. 'Should I change those plans?'
It's unclear if Philbin responded, but the university's director of media relations forwarded the exchange to another attorney with a blunt message: 'What??'
The Dark Knight Rises star Christian Bale and his wife Sandra Blazic visit the memorial across the street from the Century 16 movie theatre on July 24
On Wednesday, university officials provided a later email, from Aug. 8, in which Philbin said no information should be purged at that time.
In the days after the shooting, the
Arapahoe County District Attorney's office asked Judge William B.
Sylvester to bar the university from releasing records requested by
numerous media organizations.
Prosecutors argued that the information could jeopardize Holmes' right to a fair trial. Sylvester agreed, but amended his order last month to allow the release after media organizations objected in court.
Holmes is charged with multiple
first-degree murder and attempted murder counts.
He has not entered a
plea and won't do so until after a weeklong preliminary hearing in which
prosecutors will present evidence supporting the charges.
That hearing
is scheduled to begin Jan. 7.
Holmes' attorneys have said he suffers from a mental illness.

Jeep Compass' new marketing campaign highlights fuel efficiency
If you still can't get over the cancellation of the diesel Jeep Liberty, perhaps this news will cheer you up a little. Jeep is advertising its new 2007 Compass as a fuel-efficient alternative to SUVs and is targeting non-traditional Jeep buyers. The 2007 Compass gets 30 mpg and will be driven by nothing but bobbleheads (at least, that's the world the commercials will portray). You can kind of feel the youth marketing arm in Jeep's "Keep It Moving" slogan for the Compass. One of Jeep's four new TV spots emphasizes the 30-mpg rating, but also includes a creepy bobblehead squirrel.

Reviews for National Council Of The United States Society Of St Vincent Depau
The Society of St. Vincent De Paul mission is to serve those living in poverty. We don't call them poor, but those living in poverty. Anyone can overcome poverty with the right tools. We provide food, clothing and household goods around the world. Fredrick the founder of the society felt everyone should live a quality life. In some areas we help fund cleanup for drinking water, soup kitchens, assistance with utilities and rent. We advocate on behalf of those we serve thru our Voices of the Poor. Our dream is to reduce the numbers living in poverty through systemic change. We focus on teaching them the how to recognize those barriers and how to overcome. Most local conferences are made up of 100% volunteers who serve, because they are interested in assisting those in need. In my local chapter will serve over 1,000 people a week at our Client Choice Food pantry. We do home visit to the clients to bring and assistance if needed.

McCain Ignores Testimony Before His Committee, Claims Military Doesn't 'Seek Out' Orientation
This afternoon, immediately after the Senate failed to invoke cloture on a defense authorization measure which included an amendment to gradually repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell, a group of journalists met with Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) to discuss the vote. Pressed by The Advocate's Kerry Eleveld and Metro Weekly's Chris Geidner about instances when the military actively sought to out gay troops, McCain grew defiant and insisted that the military does not "go out and seek to find out if someone's sexual orientation":
MCCAIN: We do not go out and seek. Regulations are, we do not go out and seek to find out if someone's sexual orientation. We do not!
ELEVELD: But senator, that's not…
MCCAIN: That is the fact! That is the fact. Now ma'am, I know the military very well, and I know what's being done. And what is being done is that they are not seeking out people who are gay. And I don't care what you say, I know it's a fact.
ELEVELD: It's not what I say.
MCCAIN: I dont' care what you say! And I don't care what others say. I've seen it in action. I've seen it in action. I have sons in the military, I know the military very well. So they're not telling you the truth.
ELEVELD: Senator, just to make sure…
MCCAIN: Just to make sure. We do not go out and seek out and find out….
ELEVELD: Private emails are not being searched? Private emails are not being searched?
MCCAIN: …See if someone is gay or not. We do not go out and see whether someone is gay or not.
ELEVELD: There are documented cases…
MCCAIN: They do not, they do not, they do not. You can say that they are, you can say [inaudible] it's not true!… Yea, I'd like to see…
GEIDNER: It is the case of Mike Almy, Senators.
MCCAIN: Bring them to our office. It is not the policy, it is not the policy, it is not the policy.
GEIDNER: But it is the case that it's happening, Senator.
MCCAIN: It is not the policy, it is not the policy, it is not the policy You can say that it is the policy, sir if you choose to. It is not the policy. I would be glad to get that to you in writing.
Watch it:
While the Defense Department did adopt higher standards for discharging gay and lesbian soldiers in March, the military has dismissed servicemembers after discovering their sexual orientation in email records. For instance, Major Mike Almy — a 13-year veteran of the Air Force — was relieved of his duties after a routine search of computer files uncovered emails to his same-sex partner.
In fact, as Almy explained in testimoney before McCain's own committee (Senate Armed Services): "In Iraq, during the height of the insurgency, someone in the Air Force ordered a search of my private emails solely to determine if I had violated "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", and to gather whatever evidence could be used against me." "I was relieved of my duties, leading nearly 200 Airmen, my security clearance was suspended and part of my pay was terminated. Even as my commander was relieving me of my duties, he assured me this was in no way a reflection of my performance or my abilities as an officer," Almy testified.

This is at least nicer than the [r/s/q] proposal above, in that it reuses y/n from normal parsing; maybe our yes/no parser could be parameterized to state whether extra sequences are recognized, while still allowing localization of the more common y/n responses in the future.

Natori City - Yuriage elementary school.
Two sets of flow directions near elementary school - trees are bent to the left by the stronger inflow, grasses to the left by the weaker outflow.
Yuriage: Nothing but a sand sheet and the steel remains of house reinforcements remain. This area hasn't been disturbed yet - a good place for the tsunami deposits folks to work.
The older woman returned for the first time to the Natori City area where her house had been. The only reason she survived was because she was shopping with her daughter that day.
Tsunami forest - bending...
And breaking....
Over 1600 hectares of tsunami forest succumbed on the March 11 - slightly over half to the tsunami (like the trees here in Natori City) and the remainder to fire.
Sendai: A new business - retrieving data from flooded electronics.
The S Pal mall in Sendai provided a temporary place for evacuees to sleep, and telephones for them to call relatives.
Water mark in the Yuriage Junior High evacuation place.
For one day evacuees were stuck on the upper floors of the Junior High School building - sleeping on cardoard.
Sendai Airport in Natori City - notes of support.
Yuriage Junior High School - clock stopped when the power went out at 2:46 PM.
Yuriage - dealing with debris.
Yuriage Memory Hall - where volunteers have collected photos and other memorabilia from the disaster area.

Walking towards the memorial hill to the 1933 (Showa) and 1960 (Chile) tsunamis. The water height in 2011 overtopped the hill.
Megumi Sugimoto points to the inscription on the tsunami stone commemorating the 1933 tsunami - where it describes this hill as a safe area.
Elementary School in East Matsushima that was NOT a designated evacuation site - perhaps because the stairs were inside the building and ever since the school massacres of 2001, there is concern about outsiders coming into schools.
Pet rescue group in East Matsushima.
A tight squeeze driving in the disaster area in East Matsushima.
Volunteers picking up debris (and the record of the high water mark) in East Matsushima.
East Matsushima - daffodils that have come up since March 11.
East Matsushima - just outside of the inundation zone.
Matsushima - this is what a small tsunami deposit looks like. Arrow shows the water mark on the tree trunk.
One of the evacuation routes in Matsushima goes to the Zen Meditation Center at Zuiganji Temple. The tsunami reached about halfway up this path.

The Disaster Prevention Department Minami Sanriku town headquarters. At least twenty people died in this building including Keri Luna, an official who kept announcing that the tsunami was coming and to go to high ground. Note the hills in the background where they all could have easily walked to.

Hospital at Minami Sanriku.
Locomotive on display at Minimi Sanriku pushed 8 meters off tracks and toppled over, crushing commemorative tsunami stones in the process.

Vertical evacuation place in Minami Sanriku. Only the 5th floor was safe.
Ishinomaki - great opportunity for the tatami mat industry. But none of it is in Japan any more, almost all of it is made in China.
Volunteers in Ishinomaki. Many Japanese spent Golden Week (April 29 - May 5) in organized volunteer cleanup crews in the disaster area.
Ishinomaki. The water height here was to the top of the first floor - but the boat floating on the tsunami raised the damage level much higher.
Tricky driving in Kessunuma.

i have a child theme of wordpress twenty ten, and i want to edit the comment form that comes with wordpress. My problem is that i can't find her. I searched the twenty ten folder and only have there a file called comments.php, nothing more like a "comments-template.php" or something like that in the folder. And in "comments.php." there is no code to edit and stylize the comment form.
Anyone knows where it could be? Should i copy the file with that code to my child theme folder?
Thanks in advance!

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman has commended the U.S. House Judiciary Committee for securing an agreement for former White House aide Karl Rove to testify about possibly influencing his prosecution.
In an e-mail to supporters and news reporters, Siegelman encouraged the committee to hold Rove's "feet to the fire" in questioning him about Siegelman's prosecution and conviction in a government corruption case.
Rove and former White House counsel Harriet Miers agreed Wednesday to testify under oath before the House Judiciary Committee. The agreement calls for Rove and Miers to be interviewed
by the House Judiciary Committee in closed depositions. The committee says it also might call the two for public testimony.
The agreement says the interview with Rove will include facts relating to the prosecution of Siegelman, a Democrat.

text: The Inc. started when 2 friends Ian Starratt and Carlos Ortiz met in college. Discovering a shared passion for music, and after many nights of playing music outside on the benches of their college dorm, they began to write their own music together. And so, the project began. With the addition of bassist Alijah McCombs and a drummer, the band grew into the Incorporated, or The Inc. for short. The Inc. has grown into nothing short of a labor of love to everyone involved in the project, and a shared passion for the music they create.

Wisconsin GOP U.S. Senate candidate wants to outlaw homosexuality and pornography.
Ernest J. Pagels Jr. is a long shot contender for the Wisconsin GOP Senate primary, vying for the opportunity to run against Sen. Russ Feingold (D) this September. And perhaps there's a reason. Pagels recently ran an ad on a local Milwaukee television station outlining what he plans fight for as one of Wisconsin's two U.S. senators:
PAGELS: Hi my name is Ernest J. Pagels Jr., I'm a born again Christian, a U.S. veteran and a very conservative Republican. I'm running for U.S. Senate from the state of Wisconsin and if elected I will initiate a bill to outlaw homosexuality, abortion, and all forms of pornography. I think these are three ills that are plaguing our nation and bringing it down. And if elected, I will also initiate a bill for a Constitutional amendment which prohibits Congress and the President from spending more money than they bring in. My name is Ernest J. Pagels, Jr. and I hope you vote for me on September 14.
Watch it:
Wonkette notes that Pagels tried to sue some people because their children allegedly vandalized his car.

In Roman mythology, King Metabus of the Volsci was the father of Camilla.
Driven from his throne, Metabus and his infant daughter Camilla were chased into the wilderness by armed Volsci. When the river Amasenus blocked his path, he bound her to a spear and promised Diana that Camilla would be her servant if she would safely transported to the opposite bank. He then safely threw her to the other side, and swam across to retrieve her. The story is told by Virgil in Book XI of the Aeneid.

I posted this on another board and it was suggested that I find a more suitable place to get better advice ... hope you guys can help me, as I'm finding myself in new territory with my oldest son (ODS).
Here's my post:
ODS is 14. He is also bipolar and has ADHD (medicated for both issues). DH is currently incarcerated, so it's just me and the two kids (ODS and YDS who is only 4). There's is background somewhere if someone wants to find it, I'm exhausted and just want to vent a little bit, so I'm not going to bother with it.
Anyway, we've been doing relatively okay for the last two yrs since DH has been gone. The kids have had minor issues adjusting, ODS is in counseling and keeps himself busy with school. Last summer, he was busted with K2, but we got through that and I thought we were in a better place.
Friday night, I come home from work to discover that he hadn't done his chores ... and he was asking to play outside with his friends. FTR, his chores consist of cleaning his room (picking up dirty clothes off of the floor, making his bed, etc., etc), making sure the animals are fed and have fresh water, and just picking up after himself when he has a snack or whatever. When I came home, his bedroom had clothes everywhere, the bed wasn't made (didn't even have a fitted sheet on it) and the animals hadn't been taken care of. Not to mention, there were FIVE empty cups sitting on the end table in the living room - which means that every time he wanted a drink, he got a new glass out of the cabinet to drink. I explained to him that if he did his chores, we would talk about him playing outside when I got back from the grocery store - I was gone 20 minutes. Came home from the store, he had only taken care of the animals. Nothing else was done, and he was sitting outside talking to his friends.
Told him to come inside and finish what he had to do. I also asked him to find my lighter because I bought a candle at the store and wanted to light it (he used the lighter last when we had sparklers for the 4th of July). He flew into a rage over the lighter - couldn't find it, wouldn't find it, didn't care where it was, etc., etc. Said that I asked about the lighter because I didn't want him to go outside, so I was finding something for him to do that would take a long time, therefore, keeping him from going out. Then he opened the front door, yelled at the kids outside: "I won't be able to play outside, my mom is being a jerk" and slammed the door. I told him to go to his room - I was livid.
He went to his room, and this is where it got ugly ... he literally blew up - profanity, flailing around like he was having a seizure - it was like watching a freaked out caged angry animal. I had YDS go to the kitchen and draw me a picture (I didn't know what else to do with him), and went into ODS room - he started punching the wall, punching furniture, telling me that he was trying to break his hand so he could tell the police that I had abused him. I closed his door and just let him go - he's slightly larger than I am, and there's no way that I could've restrained him. It took him about 5 minutes to get quieter - I stayed in the kitchen with YDS who was starting to get a little scared from the noise. ODS was yelling from his room that he was going to slit our throats in our sleep if we didn't take him to the hospital NOW to get his hand checked out. So ... I packed us up in the car, and drove to an urgent care clinic for pediatrics. They asked what happened, and ODS went into detail about everything that had transpired ... they took x-rays, and then the doctor took a VERY long time coming back to the room. The whole time we were waiting, ODS was trying to teach YDS "how to fight because fighting is cool" ... I just tried explaining to YDS that fighting is bad, and we don't hurt people, that ODS was just mad and was trying to get YDS into trouble - don't listen to him, etc., etc. About 30 minutes later, the doctor comes back, explains that he only bruised his hand and asked to speak to me outside of the room ... I grabbed YDS and headed out of the room with her. A nurse stayed in the room with ODS.
The doctor asked me if this was normal behavior for him ... I broke down. It was the first time I have cried in about two years ... I told her EVERYTHING, about DH, about the situation that we're in, about his past behavior, etc., etc. She called the police and had ODS baker acted. She believed that ODS was manic enough that if he were to go home, he would likely follow through on his threat to hurt us while we were sleeping ... funny thing is that I haven't slept since he was little. I've always been afraid he would do something. I've always felt like THAT was how I would die - because ODS did something to me. I feel broken.
The police showed up about 20 minutes later, talked to ODS (who was very beligerant and still insistant on hurting us) and they carted him away to a hospital an hour away that has a mental health unit on one of the floors. He's been there since Friday night.
We had a family counseling session today to determine if he would be eligible to come home. It was horrible. He just kept telling the counselor about how miserable I made him at home, how I "nag" him to do chores, that he has to do everything (his words), and that I pay more attention to his brother. The counselor asked him what he expected his home life to be like. He told her that he didn't think that he should have to do chores, that he should have "things" like other kids his age have - phones, computers, etc.,etc. and that I should pay more attention to him because he's older and has special needs because he's bipolar and YDS is normal. I tried explaining to him that YDS is 4, and therefore requires different attention that ODS needs - ie: ODS can take care of himself, YDS cannot. He didn't get it. He told the counselor that if they send him home, he will run away or kill me. He hates me and he doesn't want to live with me. The counselor chewed him a new arsehole and had an orderly take him back to his room. Then she told me that she would not allow him to come home until we had a plan in place to get him into some sort of residential treatment facility. I don't know how I'm going to afford that ...
And now I'm torn. My first instinct is to protect YDS because he cannot protect himself. I'm not even worried about my own safety, I'm worried about YDS. I feel like I live with pure evil (ODS) but I love him because he is still my baby and I want so desperately to fix him ... I don't know what to do. I've been so sad all weekend. I've been playing games with YDS and trying to get him to understand that his brother is sick and is at the hospital so that he can talk to the doctors, but he's so young and I don't think he understands.
I guess I'm not really looking for advice, just wanted to vent really because I don't have anyone else to really talk to besides my own counselor ... I just feel like I'm failing as a mother. This is not how I wanted my life to be.
How much more can I take??
I posted this on another board and it was suggested that I find a more suitable place to get better advice ... hope you guys can help me, as I'm finding myself in new territory with my oldest son (ODS).

Saw this on dwil and came here to leave a comment.. My BFFs child has bipolar and adhd. She has had to have him put in the hospital twice, both times about age 5. She said the trick was the meds. He was on the wrong ones, and every so often they need to be changed. Either the dosing or new meds altogether because of hormone fluctuations, growing, or him growing an intolerance. I am so sorry and you have not failed. I cannot imagine the pain you are in.
I don't really have advice but just wanted to say that I am so sorry you and your family are going through this. I couldn't imagine. Please know that he is sick and this is not your fault! No one asks to be affected by bipolar disorder and I know it can be very challenging. Hang in there momma and know that you are doing the best you can while being faced with such a rough situation.
I hope you are able to find him the help and a treatment facility, that he and your family need. I will keep you in my thoughts!
I think the most important thing is just getting him onto the right cocktail of meds. If he's not insured and/or you aren't able to afford the meds, get him on government assistance. Barring that, try going directly to the manufacturer and see if they will be able to assist in any way. As far as getting him into a residential facility, again, try for the government assistance. It'll be hard, but definitely worth it.
I sooo feel for you. My son is 7 and he has lots of rage. He is Bipolar and has adhd. I worry that this could be him in a few years. I just found this group. I hope you can get the help you need.

This post could have been written by me. I am married, but my son has said all of those things. He was recently diagnosed bipolar...and we are working to get him on the proper meds. I am told that meds along with therapy can make all the difference. I believe that when my son is raging and screaming.., he doesnt even know what he is saying. I dont believe he hates me or his home. I am hoping we can get him stabiluzed soon, because it is scarry for everyone else in the house. Hes 16 btw.

Optimizing Antenna Design for 5G and the Internet of Things
Brianne Costa | June 23, 2015
As you leave for work, your garage door closes and texts your office coffeemaker to start brewing a fresh pot. During the day, your sprinkler system gets a weather report that it's going to rain and cancels its afternoon watering. This isn't a futuristic television show, it's the Internet of Things, and with the next generation of wireless communication, 5G, it's coming soon. First, we need to optimize the performance of existing mobile device antennas.Read More

A question that we are asked all of the time is if COMSOL Multiphysics can model laser-material interactions and heating. The answer, of course, depends on exactly what type of problem you want to solve, as different modeling techniques are appropriate for different problems. Today, we will discuss various approaches for simulating the heating of materials illuminated by laser light.Read More

Whenever we are solving a wave electromagnetics problem in COMSOL Multiphysics, we build a model that is composed of domains and boundary conditions. Within the domains, we use various material models to represent a wide range of substances. However, from a mathematical point of view, all of these different materials end up being handled identically within the governing equation. Let's take a look at these various material models and discuss when to use them.Read More

What if you could enable non-experts to run your multiphysics simulations on their own? You would save time, for sure, and they would get easy access to your expertise. Turning your simulations into apps with customized and easy-to-use interfaces is now a reality. Here, I will explain why you should start creating apps and how to go about it. We'll use the new Corrugated Circular Horn Antenna Simulator demo app to guide us.Read More

COMSOL Multiphysics version 5.1 introduces a new tutorial model of a UHF RFID tag. RFID tags allow you to identify and monitor both inanimate objects and living creatures through the use of electromagnetic fields. The UHF RFID tag has a wider range than other types of RFID tags and is often used to identify animals. We can evaluate the performance of the tag through an analysis of the electric field and far-field radiation pattern.Read More

Metals are materials that are highly conductive and reflect an incident electromagnetic wave — light, microwaves, and radio waves — very well. When using the RF Module or the Wave Optics Module to simulate electromagnetics problems in the frequency domain, there are several options for modeling metallic objects. Here, we will look at the Impedance and Transition boundary conditions as well as the Perfect Electric Conductor boundary condition, offering guidance on when to use each one.Read More

As communication systems in aviation become more complex, multiple antennas are often placed on the same airplane. This creates crosstalk, or cosite interference, which occurs between the antennas and can disturb the operation of the aircraft. In this tutorial model, new with COMSOL Multiphysics version 5.1, we simulate the interference between two identical antennas — one transmitting and one receiving — on an airplane's fuselage to analyze the crosstalk effect.Read More

Tonight I decided to try cooking something with Feta cheese (a new item for me). I ran across this recipe during my search of "Feta cheese" recipes. I served this with [recipe=21012]Greek Salad[/recipe] and [recipe=36736]Greek Meatballs[/recipe]. My husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed it. Initially my husband commented that it was rather bland, but apparently the flavor grew on him. He ended up going back for seconds. I reduced the recipe to 1/3 and ended up with left-overs, which my husband has declared will be great for supper tomorrow night. The mildness of this dish went really well with the strong flavors of the salad and meatballs. Thank you for sharing this recipe with me Miss Annie!
This mild dish is great served with stronger flavored Greek dishes. I served mine topped with Tish's Chicken Athena Chicken Athena. They were wonderful together!
Yuck. This dish has no flavor. I made it for a supper club I'm in when our theme was Greek Food. It wasn't a hit to say the least. With all the fat in it, as soon as it started to cool off, it solidified. I didn't even try to save some for leftovers. It's kind of an expensive dish (1 lb. of feta cheese isn't cheap!) so I recommend making mac & cheese instead! It costs less and tastes a whole lot better.

I have tried the 'Image Credit' plugin but it seems flaky (possibly due to interaction with other plugins). What are other people using? The requirement is for each image used to have an associated field for copyright info.
You could use the description or caption part of the image editor/uploader and then query that for each image. To clarify what I mean read my the post I wrote at my blog for creating a sideshow in wordpress with titles and captions without using a plugin. I don't know if you're making a slideshow, but if you're not, take out the jquery part and it's essentially the same idea.

Chef Matt Sinow with pork tenderloin and carribean jerk seasoning as well as Shrimp with saffron flavored sauce.
By JUSTIN YURKANIN, Staff Feb. 6, it will be evident why we live in Northeast Florida. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and the Ancient City will shine on national TV for Super Bowl XXXIX.
Have you had friends or family contact you for guest room accommodations over the weekend?
Their next question probably will be if you have ticket access to the "Big Game."
No matter how many show up at your house for the festivities, set a buffet comparable to the Alltel Stadium luxury suites. It simply takes a bit of pre-planning, just as the big sponsors have done. Only one team will leave victorious with a Super Bowl ring, but your guests will leave with the memory of a super lineup of food. I plan to serve the following upscale menu (one of many) that will be presented by "Center of the Plate" caterers in a corporate hospitality suite.
Anyone care to join me?
Chef Matthew Sinow, CCC, CCE, CDP, an instructor with First Coast Technical Institute's School of Culinary Arts since 1988, supervises Walter's Reef Caf at the institute.

Pork Tenderloin with Caribbean Jerk seasoning.
By JUSTIN YURKANIN, Staff
Peach/Mango salsa - If you can't find the pre-made salsa, combine canned peaches and chopped mangos to your favorite salsa. Coat well-trimmed pork tenderloin with Caribbean Spice. Sear all sides on a hot pan or griddle. Place in a 400-degree oven for 15 to 25 minutes. Be sure not to over-cook. You want the meat medium pink.
While the pork is in the oven, grill sliced pineapple and vegetables over a medium/high flame of your grill or grooved griddle to cook just enough to leave grill marks. Slice the pork in thin and place over grilled vegetables and top with salsa.
Grilled Shrimp, Scallops and Mussels on a bed of Linguini with Lobster Saffron Sauce
Serves 6-8 people
1 lb. jumbo fresh shrimp
1 lb. jumbo fresh scallops
1 lb. mussels
8 oz. linguini pasta
cooking spray
Sauce ingredients:
2 cups heavy cream
6-8 strands saffron
3 oz. minced, canned lobster meat or fresh if you have it
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. white pepper
Coat seafood with cooking spray and place on a hot grill on griddle turning to make grill marks on both sides. Careful not to over cook. Set aside.
Cook linguini according to package directions.
To prepare sauce, heat cream gradually and whisk in saffron. Add minced lobster meat, salt, pepper, and thicken by reducing slowing all the while whisking in order not to scorch.
Put linguini in a large bowl. Place grilled seafood on top. Pour sauce over top.

I've added a very simple .csv file to my app's NSDocumentDirectory using:
NSString *fileName = @"exportedfile.csv";
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *exportString = @"I've,been,exported";
NSData *testData=[exportString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSString *docDir = documentsDirectory;
NSString *completePath = [docDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileName];
[testData writeToFile:completePath atomically:YES];
if ([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:completePath]) {
NSLog(@"Theres a file here!");
The app gets into the if statement printing
"Theres a file here!", however I would like open the file and see if there were any problems in formatting the .csv.
If I were running on a physical device, I'd be able to open it up in iTunes and take a look there, but is there a way to examine the .csv while only using the simulator?

BEST BETS: "Jessica Jones," "Big Trouble/Escape from New York" & More October 2016 Highlights
Comic Books
Hello and welcome to What Are You Reading?, where we take a look at the comics, books and other things the Robot 6 crew have been reading lately. We kick off the new year with Brian Cronin from Comics Should Be Good! as our special guest. In addition to running our sister blog, Brian is also an author, having written two books on comics trivia. He also runs the blog Urban Legends Revealed, where he talks about sports and entertainment urban legends.
To see what Brian and the Robot 6 crew have been reading, click below …
Conventions | ReedPOP has officially announced it will fold the New York Anime Festival into New York Comic Con, rather than continue them as separate events held at the same location. "This move has nothing to do with our loyalty or commitment to the anime community and everything to do with the growth and identity of New York Comic Con as a leading pop culture event," ReedPOP's Lance Fensterman said in a statement. "NYCC embraces all elements of the pop culture world, including anime, and we have evolved to a point where the existence of NYAF outside our universe is almost a contradiction. We will be better able to serve the anime community from within the NYCC infra-structure rather than have a show which is separate and which will always be dwarfed by everything that New York Comic Con represents and is." [press release]
Passings | Cartoonist Jim Unger, whose one-panel comic Herman served as an inspiration for Gary Larson's The Far Side, passed away Monday at his home in British Columbia. He was 75. The comic appeared in about 600 newspapers worldwide from 1974 until Unger's retirement in 1992. [The Daily Cartoonist]
Back in the mid-2000s, Brian Cronin and I worked together at the earlier version of this blog, The Great Curve. Currently, of course, Cronin is known for great work at Robot 6's older sibling blog, Comics Should Be Good. Out of that, in mid-2005, Cronin launched his very popular Comic Book Urban Legends Revealed weekly feature. In fact, that particular feature became so popular in late April Plume released a book by Cronin, Was Superman a Spy?: And Other Comic Book Legends Revealed, in which he "demystifies all of the interesting stories, unbelievable anecdotes, wacky rumors, and persistent myths that have piled up like priceless back issues in the seventy-plus years of the comic book industry". I caught up with my fellow CBR-based writer to chat about his new book.
Tim O'Shea: What were some of the hardest questions to research?
Brian Cronin: Among the legends in the book, I would say that the one about George Lucas and the old Uncle Scrooge story would be the hardest, as Lucas is not exactly the easiest fellow to come into contact with, so after quite some time trying to find information about it, I luckily was able to come into contact with his friend (and the editor of the great Carl Barks' tribute volume, Uncle Scrooge McDuck–His Life & Times), Edward Summer, who was invaluable in getting an answer to that question.
O'Shea: In terms of the questions that were sent in, were there one or two that just seemed completely implausible at first, but to your amazement turned out to be true?

We propose checking the execution of an abstract data type's imperative implementation against its algebraic specification. An explicit mapping from implementation states to abstract values is added to the imperative code. The form of specification allows mechanical checking of desirable properties such as consistency and completeness, particularly when operations are added incrementally to the data type. During unit testing, the specification serves as a test oracle. Any variance between computed and specified values is automatically detected. When the module is made part of some application, the checking can he removed, or may remain in place for further validating the implementation. The specification, executed by rewriting, can be thought of as itself an implementation with maximum design diversity, and the validation as a form of multiversion-programming comparison

Who does your lawn maintenance? DH? You? Both? A company?
RQOTD - Thursday
Both of us. Probably a little more me than him, just since he is never around.
Since we are in a townhouse right now, the grounds are maintained by a company but our little backyard is not. There is not any grass back there so don't have to worry about mowing. But I do have my raised garden beds that I take care of.
Craig does all of our yard maintenance. I cannot be trusted with a lawnmower. I am a total klutz! Maybe if it was a riding mower...
I do try to take care of all of the flowers around our house. I am hoping to go get some flowers to plant soon. I think we may have finally moved past freezing overnights. I am pretty simple with flowers. I really want to try a rose bush, but I am afraid I will kill it. I have a black thumb.
DH does it all. He won't even let me pluck weeds right now! And I've offered a few times!
Dh mows and does all the cleaning up (we have tons of trees so it seems we're always needing to clean up branches). I pick all of the weeds and care for the flowers.

Peter Trego
Key facts
Full Name: Peter David Trego
Born: June 12 1981 , Weston-super-Mare
County: Somerset
Other teams: Central Districts, England Lions, Herefordshire, Kent, Marylebone Cricket Club, Mashonaland Eagles, Middlesex, Sylhet Royals
Batting Style: Right-hand bat
Bowling Style: Right-arm medium
A wily seamer and thrilling batsman, Trego is one of the most valuable players in the English game. The all-rounder has provided match-winning performances in all forms for Somerset with ball, bat and in the field. However, the feeling is that Trego has never quite fulfilled his potential, illustrated by the fact that, despite having represented England Lions, he has never gained full international honours. Having struggled early on in his career, Trego returned to Taunton following difficult spells at Kent and Middlesex and immediately found his feet. He hit over 800 runs in 2007 ...
