This paper presents a high-speed image processing algorithm applied to multifaceted asymmetric radiation from the edge detection on Joint European Torus. The algorithm has been developed in C/C++ language using the OpenCV library for image processing and the LibSVM library for pattern classification and has been tested on a dedicated Intel 64-bit Linux computing platform. The code implemented achieves at the same time high accuracy and good run-time performance. The final version presents a correct detection rate of 93.3% and an average image processing rate of 650 frames per second. A complete analysis of each image processing module is presented to illustrate the overall characteristics and performance of the algorithm.

If I have a 2GB internal drive, and a 500GB iTunes library, are there any disadvantages to keeping the iTunes library on my internal drive? I would also have all my personal files, etc. on the internal drive. It would be my only (non-backup) drive.
I'm just curious if this will cause a system slowdown or anything related, and if it is better to use an external hard drive.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
Integrating with Letters
No, we're not talking about snail mail.
If we have a constant instead of a number for a limit of integration, not much changes. We apply the FTC, and write a constant instead of a number where it's appropriate to do so.
Sample Problem
If c is a constant greater than 0, find .
We apply the FTC like always, but use c for the upper limit of integration instead of a number.
Now we can answer questions like this:
Sample Problem
If , what is c?
We just worked out that
So if the integral is equal to 2, it means
Solving, we get
c3 = 6
When there's a constant in the integrand, you have to take it into account while finding the antiderivative. If there's a constant in the integrand, that constant will also show up in the antiderivative.
A word of warning: when there are constants in the integrand, it can be easy to get mixed up when it comes time to put in the limits of integration. Do they plug into the a or the x? The answer is that the limits of integration plug into the variable of integration. In this example, the limits of integration (1 and 5) went into the variable of integration x, not into the constant a.
Be Careful: Plug the limits of integration into the variable of integration. If there are constants in the integrand, leave those alone. DO NOT plug the limits of integration into any constants.

Hello folks, generally I prefer to find my answers via google or use help files but so far can't find anything to help me on this. For reference sake I am heavily modifying the Flex Test Drive App since it pretty much facilitates what I am trying to do, which is build an issue tracking application for my company. Its not software, more like customer calls to complain about something. Anyhow, I have created an InputDate field that I have written a function to populate with the currentDate, however the value of the function is not being passed to the database. How do I get a value generated by a function to post to a mysql database?

Times Blows Another Opportunity
Or did they?
As you might expect, copies of today's post-inauguration New York Times are flying off the shelves like hotcakes today, if hotcakes could be vacuum-sealed and stored in a closet for
posterity eBay. At Intel editor Jessica's local newsstand, to use one piece of anecdotal evidence, the paper was sold out before 8 a.m. this morning. And according to FishbowlNY, already the Times headquarters might be the only place with copies still available. This seems odd: We thought the Times had learned from its spectacular Nov. 5th sellout, and would print more copies this time around? Maybe they just figured selling them at Barnes and Noble, where the Nov. 5 OBAMA edition is now on sale for around and about $30, was a better racket. Clever!

Anxiety & Panic Disorders Health Center
Beyond 'White Coat Syndrome'
When Dorothea Lack was a little girl, she hid under a doctor's desk to avoid a vaccination. Undaunted, the doctor crawled under the desk and vaccinated her then and there. Lack said the incident provoked a fear of doctors that followed her into adulthood. "I didn't feel I could trust them," says Lack, PhD, now a psychologist who performs research on doctor-patient relations.
It's a rare soul who truly enjoys visiting the doctor. But for a significant minority of the population, fear and anxiety prevents them from getting vital care. The problem has grown in importance with medicine's increasing emphasis on preventive care. Screenings such as mammograms, colorectal exams, cholesterol checks, and digital rectal exams can save lives, but only if people are willing to submit to uncomfortable procedures well before symptoms have emerged.

Fortunately, there are proven methods for relieving fear of doctors. But dealing with the problem first requires fessing up to it. Many people may hide their fear by saying they don't have time for a doctor's visit, says Jennifer Hay, PhD, a health psychology researcher at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. "The first step to putting [fear] in its place is acknowledging that it's there," says Hay, who also counsels cancer patients. "Some of the most powerful fears are the ones we don't acknowledge."
Fear of a White Coat
Even if setting foot into a doctor's office doesn't feel like walking into a lion's den, your body may be priming for a threat. As much as 20 percent of the population suffers from "white coat syndrome," in which blood pressure surges when measured in the doctor's office. The syndrome produces a challenge for physicians seeking an accurate blood pressure reading. But a fear response in a health care setting is perfectly normal because most people associate hospitals and clinics with sickness and injury, says Nathan Consedine, PhD, a health psychology researcher at Long Island University.
"Fear is a response selected in evolution to promote immediate avoidance of a very salient physical threat," Consedine says. "Doctor's offices and hospitals are places where bad things happen, so it's not surprising that people avoid them." A person with white coat syndrome may not feel anxious even as her body, "at a low level, is ready to run away."

"The Hub of Chiapas" Tuxtla Gutiérrez by DSwede
Tuxtla Gutiérrez Travel Guide: 16 reviews and 48 photos
Tuxtla is the largest city of Chiapas, but it really is not a large tourist destination. The city is expansive, but nested with mountains all around. I've driven through it and stopped here several times, usually to stretch my legs, fuel up and get something to eat.
The city is comfortable enough, but is mostly a typical working town with commercial businesses. The Cańón del Sumidero and the Zoo are the two largest draws.
Feel free to visit my Mexico page for more on my time and visits to other places within Mexico.
(for more pictures, feel free to visit my Mexico Gallery. If you enjoy the pictures, please leave a comment.)
- Pros:It is a main transportation hub to get to/from other parts of Chiapas
- Cons:Little to do for the typical tourist
- In a nutshell:The city is comfortable enough, but is mostly a typical working town with commercial businesses.

Michelle Moon
My name is Michelle Moon, Director with Scentsy. I have been married for almost 9 years, after dating for 7 years, work full time and lead a busy, full and blessed life. I started my journey with Scentsy on March 3, 2009. I was looking for a way to supplement my income as we were taking a 2 1/2 % pay cut at my JOB. I had no idea that I would LOVE it!!! I signed up two fabulous women (one in April and one in May) and then sold the rest of my way to Alaska. As I really had no idea what I was doing I was not tracking the points toward Alaska. When I was notified, via email, in the middle of July that I had earned the cruise I thought it was SPAM and promptly called the company to see what was going on. I did earn it, by a little more than 200 points, and was on my way to ALASKA!!!! Woot woot!! I attended convention in August where I met so many incredible people that have since changed my life. I didn't realize I was looking for permission to MOVE but apparently I was as I came home and had six more fabulous women join my team by the end of August. In September another fabulous woman joined my team, I had numerous basket parties, went to Alaska for eight days, and skipped right over being a Superstar Consultant to become a Director (thanks to my AWESOME team)! I'm so excited but more importantly my team is so excited. This is THE time, Scentsy is THE business and all of us are THE women that will make it happen. That is my new mantra. I had a friend yesterday tell me that she was blown away that a light bulb, some wax and a dream could change both of our lives in such an incredible way (how right you are Tish!!!). I LOVE this company, what it stands for and the message it sends out (always give more than you get) ~ I LOVE helping people achieve their dreams, I LOVE hosting parties and meeting all the wonderful women and men who make up not only my customer base but now my team. I am so blessed to have a wonderful, supportive and loving husband who is critical in helping me MOVE and ZOOM. My team name is Go For the Moon as even if you miss you'll land amongst the stars!See More

By Spc. Daniel StoutamireJuly 14, 2011
BAGHDAD (Army News Service, July 14, 2011) -- A dozen Soldiers with the 2nd "Dagger" Advise and Assist Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, United States Division - Center officially became citizens of the nation they are resolutely serving on the 4th of July.
The ceremony included a speech to the newly-minted citizens by senior United States Forces - Iraq and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service leaders, as well as a taped speech by President Barack Obama, in which he praised the candidates for their service.
"From time to time we can look back and say, 'you know, that day was a special day that changed my life," said Gen. Lloyd J. Austin III, commanding general of U.S. Forces - Iraq. "I am certain that this will be one of those for each and every one of you."
Austin emphasized the significance of the date of the ceremony, falling as it did on America's Independence Day.
"It is fitting that these 45 men and women who have been serving in uniform in defense of the United States of America should gain their citizenship on the anniversary of our independence," said Austin.
The new citizens assigned to the Dagger Brigade hail from seven countries: Japan, the Philippines, Mexico, Chile, Guyana, Spain, and Haiti.
"I came to the Seattle area, when I was 15 years old for an exchange student program and I really liked this country," said Pvt. Nana Chihara, a motor transport operator with Co. A, 299th Brigade Support Battalion and a Tokyo native. "My host father was serving in the Army at the time, so that's how I got introduced to the U.S. military."
It has been a long road for many of the new citizens, who can now reap the benefits of citizenship, which for many includes a new pride in their work.
"It took a long while to get citizenship," said Pfc. Rene Mckinnon, an infantryman with Headquarters and Headquarters Co. 1st Bn., 63rd Armor Regiment, 2nd AAB, 1st Inf. Div., USD-C and a Guyana native. "What it means to be an American to me is being able to be recognized for what I'm doing as I'm deployed."
Immigrants have a long, proud history of service in the U.S. military. Even in the earliest days of the Revolutionary War, volunteers have played crucial roles in U.S. history. Prussian-born Friedrich von Steuben served as a major general in the Continental Army and Polish-Lithuanian Thaddeus Kosciuszko rose to brigadier general. Both became naturalized citizens.
"Ever since the United States declared its independence, immigrants have repeatedly served in its formations," he said. "Our country has always honored these heroes."
And for many at the ceremony, that honor came when they officially became U.S. citizens.
(Spc. Daniel Stoutamire serves with 2nd BCT, 1st Inf. Div. Public Affairs.)

Blogging as topic roulette. Dare I say what's on my mind?
August 11, 2015
My home office: a cheap cigar, a Diet Coke and thou!
Oh, dear blog what shall I write? It's been more days than I like to spend away from you. But work, family and the great outdoors call me away. That and the whole wide rest of the Internet. The last one is the big devourer of time. What with my shows, that video and this movie.
Often when I'm riding my bike or waiting to fall asleep I think of a killer topic. But then I forget it. I guess it wasn't so killer after all. More likely I realize the topic is just not right for this forum. New things we are working on at the agency are not appropriate for public consumption. Nor are many of the intrigues we are experiencing. I've learned over time, often the hard way that discussing certain items on a blog violates the trust others have put in me. However compelling a challenge at work or home may be, this cannot be the place for it.
My ego is a strong influence. The devil may care, it says. Write, chicken shit, write! It is my lone frenemy.
Here's the hard part. For provocative and challenging issues I often need to write about them in order to know what I really think, feel and believe. My first thought –Run! Fight! Drink!- is typically not the right one. This blog has been a perfect sounding board for my thoughts to marinate into sound ideas. Until it isn't. In my last engagement, the agency PR guy came to loathe this blog for my self-disclosure and truth telling. Ironically, he now works at Facebook.
Like you, I am also caught up in the sad, maddening melee of modern culture and politics. What is going on with our police? Were they always this freewheeling with their pistols and we didn't know about it? And then there is Donald Trump. So much has been said about so much he has said. Somehow he leads the polls to be the GOP candidate for President of these United States. What's even more unbelievable is that he has made an enemy of Fox News. He would be their torch bearer! In the end, the Democrats need only put out mashed potatoes and win. Hillary you are one lucky woman.
But this blog isn't about those things. Or so I thought when I sat down to write.
The Kardashians have always been about fetishizing women. Caitlyn is merely another example.
June 3, 2015
Girls, Girls…
And more girls.
A while back, Kim Kardashian made a sex video with some random bozo and became improbably famous, fetishizing her big boobs and ass. Shortly thereafter, the E! network launched the "groundbreaking" reality series, Keeping up with the Kardashians, fetishizing not only Kim's big boobs and ass but her sisters as well. We also met her mom and dad and other bozos and ding-a-lings.
Later, Kim has sex with a decidedly non-random bozo and new husband, Kanye West, creating a baby, enabling her/them yet even more fame…if that's even possible.
But stop the presses!
Because now her stepfather, Bruce Jenner has officially changed his sex to female, breaking the Internet. A "Sideshow Bob" for years on The Kardashians, "Call-Me-Caitlyn" Jenner is now the biggest get since, well, Kim Kardashian.
What do they all have in common? Sex. Having it. Changing it. Selling it. The entire Kardashian dynasty is built on sex. I don't know if that's cool or pathetic. Likely both. But it's a stone-cold fact.
Sex sells. Nothing new about that. And in the first years of the 21st century nobody does it better than the Kardashians.
But what provokes me is the cloak of gravitas so many people are wont to attach to this collection of fetishes. The Kardashians are entrepreneurs! Kim is a social media expert! Caitlyn-Bruce Jenner is a brave pioneer. I'm not denying they have untold fame, followers and fortune I'm just calling bullshit on the agenda. The Kardashians want attention on an epic scale. If along with the material benefits come various side effects resembling social change so be it. It gives the Today Show a new angle into this clan morning moms can appreciate.
The Kardashians are nothing without parlaying their boobs and asses. Which now includes Caitlyn.
The stupification of news media: a virus of breathless hyperbole, meaningless lists and tawdry content.
November 7, 2014
All the news that's fit to share…
Have you noticed how online journalism and media purveyors have increasingly tarted up and/or dumbed down their content? Things have gotten way more visual, mimicking the look of Instagram and Pinterest. Echoing Buzzfeed and other pseudo journalism sites, we see more and more lists of dubious nature populating web pages: Top ten this. Worst 20 that. Native advertising and news stories are now slurry. No secret why. Editors want consumers. Publishers want advertisers. Both need more and meaningful clicks to survive.
Oh, and you like this shit. (Not me. I'm impervious to salacious come ons and all those sweet, sweet lists.)
In one respect, this is nothing new. Sensationalism has permeated journalism since it began. Whether it's creepy crimes or naked ladies or both, newspapers have always flirted with the devil. Boobs sell papers. "If it bleeds it leads."
Yet, what's different here -and more insidious, in my opinion- is the meshing of bullshit with the news. An obscenity-laden video featuring ghetto trash fighting in McDonald's is presented as a news story. The "ten outfits no woman over 30 should ever own" is displayed in the same space as an article about foreign policy. Throwback Thursdays. Monday Mug Shots. Fail videos. It's stupid content just for the hell of it. Gone are the obvious markers for "advertisement" or "paid for by." So, why would any reader-obsessed editor put this stuff on a separate entertainment-only page? You don't hide the chum, fool. Put dat shit where people can see it. Stink up dem waters. We. Need. Clicks.
I get it. I really do. Still, it's sad when journalists start putting inappropriate hyperbole in their copy. Suddenly, everything is "fascinating" or "terrifying" or "hilarious." Aren't we -the reader- supposed to be the judge of that?
The immense and growing popularity of Buzz Feed, Reddit, Devoured, Huff Post and countless other content buffets make it impossible for struggling news sites and online magazines to ignore, let alone exist.
Oh, and we like this shit.
The most watched show on broadcast TV is The Big Bang Theory. A few weeks ago each of its primary cast inked deals worth a million dollars per episode. Last decade the big show was Charlie Sheen's Two and a Half Men. The decade before that it was Friends. In the eighties I don't recall. Was it Cosby?
So these are the shows that define the decades in American popular culture. Not Mad Men. Not Breaking Bad. Those shows get all the press but TBBT gets all the viewers. Like it or not, it is these slickly made and arguably idiotic sit-coms that tell the tale of us.
What is it about certain ensemble comedies that keep young professionals glued to broadcast TV? They all feature a big star or create one (Charlie Sheen, Bill Cosby, Jennifer Aniston, Jim Parsons) but I think it's the fluffy familiarity that attracts so many worker bees to the flame. After whatever kind of day one had at work (be it hectic or dull) these shows are like down comforters we can sink into. The "vast wasteland" is comfy as hell.
They don't challenge us. On the contrary they make us feel content. We look forward to the mild dysfunction surrounding these characters the same way we look at their signature haircuts (the Jennifer!) and colorful wardrobe (Bill Cosby's hideous sweaters and Charlie's doushbag bowling shirts).
Talk about wardrobe malfunction… And we do!
While I happen to think TBBT is the dumbest show of the lot I'm sure that has more to do with my age than the show itself. I won't lie. As cool as I think I am I once watched Friends fairly religiously and liked it.
Which brings me to the Simpson's. Here is a show that has defied the decades as well as the odds. Yet, at the risk of sounding pretentious (and white and male), it was and still sometimes is the writing that makes the Simpson's a true cornerstone in popular culture.
Yet, at it's core the Simpson's has a lot in common with TBBT, Friends and the others. It too has its mega stars (Homer & Bart) and there is no question it is an ensemble –the likes of which we've never seen before or likely will. Still, it is the mild dysfunction and total familiarity that propel this show into the zeitgeist. Homer's home. Bart's school. These indelible locations are no different than the colorful almost tacky sets in all those other shows. We wanted to hang out in Rachel's apartment or that proto-Starbucks, Central Perk the same way we adore plopping on Homer's iconic couch or the ones that belong to those nerds on "TBBT."
Let us hang, we all ask. We won't get in the way. Let us watch you fall in and out of preening love. Let us watch you get in trouble then fix it. Let us in! We won't even balk at the laugh track; something, by the way, we find intolerable on truly good shows (like the Simpson's).
Ensemble sitcoms have been around since television itself (The Honeymooners, I Love Lucy) and they have proved over and over and over again to be the most lucrative 22 minutes or so EVER. And while none today (save for maybe the Simpson's) offer the social commentary or biting observation of an All in the Family, M.A.S.H., or Mary Tyler Moore they clearly don't want to.
Why, I wonder? Well, I'll tell you. They don't have to. After scrubbing leads all day in Media what 34 year-old Chloe wants most is not a tricky satire on race relations or the intolerance of ISIS; she craves a twit remark from Penny and a tarty retort from Sheldon. Throw in a subplot about the new hunky neighbor, who may or may not be gay, and she's good. We all are.
A final note: I'm not bitching. My intent is not necessarily to disparage your favorite sit com. Compared to The Real Housewives of X, The Big Bang Theory is like Masterpiece Theater. (Look it up.)
The coolest thing we take for granted: "You had to be there" is not what it used to be.
July 31, 2014
Great tune. Too bad I wasn't there. Or am I?
I'm reading Bill Flannigan's book, U2: At the End of the World, about the band's epic Zoo TV tour in the early nineties. The book is equal parts fascinating and cloying (like the band!) but one thing is certain the dude was there for all of it: back stage, in the vans, on the plane, in the pubs, at the hotels and, most importantly at the concerts.
And now because of the miracle of Internet, so am I. I can find high quality footage for any number of these amazing U2 shows online. I know we take it for granted that anything and everything is now available to us if we have a computer; hell, even a phone.
But back when Flannigan wrote this book, and U2 did those concerts, none of that was true. One could only imagine how cool the stage was and how bombastic the band. Flannigan's words could only do so much. In the end, we are left with that great old saying: You had to be there.
Not anymore. Not now. Now I can literally find the very concerts he was writing about, and watch them. In Sydney. In Dublin. In my hometown of Chicago. All those big, fantastic shows I/we could only read about are right here right now.
I am able to do the same thing for Guns and Roses, upon reading Slash's recent memoir. Or Keith Richard's. The idea of being able to read about a specific event and then find that event online and watch it is, to me, one of the coolest things about the Internet.
See and hear what he's talking about…
I was so captivated by this notion, I took my entire third novel, Sweet by Design and committed it to a blog and gave virtually every reference in it a link to some relevant piece of content. A character goes to Water Tower Place to get a blow job (read the book) I provided a link to Water Tower Place. Every restaurant, town, street or landmark I gave a link. The reader could click on the word and see for himself what the character was seeing. (It takes me a couple hours or more to produce a single blog post. You do the math on a novel.) I even crowd sourced the cover, should it ever get published in -egads- paper. Check out the winner. It's a pretty sweet design.
Did I expect people to actually check the links? Maybe a little, here and there. Honestly, I didn't expect very many people would even read the damn book! But I did it anyway. It took hours every night and many months. I didn't care. That's how much I loved the idea.
I still love the idea. It still blows me away. A kid reads about the JFK assassination and she can watch the Zapruder film. And countless other related pieces. That's amazing kids.
Brutal… but available.
Many of you can't relate, I know. But I'm old enough to remember when none of this was possible. To support a lecture, professors told students to read this book or rent that movie. And a lot of times there was no supporting content, or if it did exist you had no way of accessing it. It wasn't free. It wasn't for you. Try and imagine that. Can you even? Oh well, I guess you had to be there.
And in a strangely related way, this bit of nonsense…

The cooling effect from this lightweight lotion is due to the amount of alcohol this contains along with the menthol derivative menthyl lactate. Both are skin irritants and make this water-like sunscreen lotion impossible to recommend.
On the upside, this does supply broad-spectrum sun protection and includes stabilized avobenzone for reliable UVA screening; however, you can find many other sunscreens that offer this type of protection in lightweight formulas you'll wan to apply—no need to expose skin to the drying, pro-aging effects of so much alcohol. See our list of Best Sunscreens for today's top picks!
Advanced protection that transforms to a refreshing water-like lotion upon contact with skin.
Active Ingredients: Avobenzone 2.24% (Sunscreen), Homosalate 8% (Sunscreen), Octisalate 2.4% (Sunscreen), Octocrylene 4.48% (Sunscreen), Oxybenzone 2.88% (Sunscreen).

La Roche-Posay At-A-Glance
L'Oreal-owned La Roche-Posay has a pharmaceutical lineage based in France, and the company speaks of their thermal spring water as the cornerstone of their commitment to dermatological skin care. In fact, the name La Roche-Posay comes from the French town that is the source of this water, which is said to be a rich in selenium. While selenium is an element that has potent antioxidant ability, it's unclear how much the water La Roche-Posay uses contains, since all water has to go through purification processes to be to used in cosmetic products.
That aside, this brand does have a number of standout products, including some good sunscreens and anti-aging treatments. Another positive: All of its skincare is packaged in containers that will keep beneficial products protected from light and air (no jar packaging here!). Unfortunately there are some missteps, namely that some otherwise-excellent products include potentially-irritating amounts of alcohol, fragrance, or other irritants. The line could also benefit from additional products that contain more state-of-the-art ingredients. Still, for a no-frills approach to serious skin care, there are some finds to be had!

Getting Started with your new Apple iPod
Congratulations, you just received a shiny new iPod Nano, iPod Shuffle, iPod Touch or iPod Classic as a present from someone, someone who was willing to pony up the big bucks for a gift.

If that's you, we've got ya covered. This tutorial will show you how to get music onto your iPod from your computer using iTunes 11, then it'll also show you how to perform the reverse trick: get music off your iPod and onto your computer.
Why both? Sometimes you just want to grab songs off someone else's iPod, or off an old iPod of your own, and perhaps that device is no longer sync'd to your current computer.
Deleted iTunes library but still have tracks on iPod…
Hi Dave, I have been following your newsletter for awhile now. Most of your topics are way over my head but very interesting. I mistakenly removed the iTunes folder from my Music Library. I still have my music intact, I can see all my tracks. Sadly, I have never backed up my iTunes so if I lose my tracks I'm out of quite a bit of money. I'm running Windows 7 Premium on my laptop and I have a portable hard drive. I have purchased a pack of DVD+RW discs to backup my music if that's what I need to do. But urgently, need to recover the iTunes Folder that should be in Music Library because I can't update iTunes software when notified. If you can help me or point me in the right direction, I would very much appreciate it.

Miss Derringer
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Miss Derringer is an American, Los Angeles based pop/underground rock band, fronted by singer Elizabeth McGrath and her husband/songwriter Morgan Slade. Rounding out the band's lineup are Sylvain de Muizon (bass), Cody James (drums) and Ben Shields (lead guitar). Miss Derringer, although it sounds like a singer or a single person, is a complete band.
Miss Derringer is influenced by American music of the late 1950s and early 1960s - particularly the vintage sounds of outlaw country and early 1960s girl group pop.[1]
The band's lyrics deal with "honkytonk" subjects like prison, poverty, sobriety, God, death, marriage, murder, and alcohol.
Miss Derringer has opened up for several notable acts including Bad Religion, Blondie, John Doe, IAMX and Tiger Army.
Miss Derringer has released two albums with Sympathy for the Record Industry. The first, King James, Crown Royal, and a Colt 45, was released in 2004.
Their second album, Lullabies, includes guest musicians such as drummer Clem Burke from Blondie and was co-produced by Derek O'Brien of Social Distortion and The Adolescents.
In 2007, Miss Derringer released the 2 song ep "Black Tears" electronically, on Stay Gold Records. Black Tears was produced by John Kastner of The Doughboys and All Systems Go! The song "Black Tears" and its remix version have been featured on the television show How I Met Your Mother
In 2008 the band signed a "strategic partnership" marketing deal with noted Advertising Agency Deutsch Inc. In late 2008, Miss Derringer was selected by Morgans Hotel Group as one several bands to participate in their "Recess is on" campaign, and was filmed performing a live version of their song "better Run Away From Me" at the Mondrian Hotel in Los Angeles.
In February 2009, Miss Derringer signed a record deal with Los Angeles label Triple X Records, who released the band's third album Winter Hill in July 2009.

McClatchy Newspapers
With his fortunes in several battleground states fading, Mitt Romney will step onto the stage Wednesday night to debate President Barack Obama in what could be one of his last opportunities to change the dynamics of the 2012 election.
The debate in Denver will be the first of three between the two men and could be decisive, particularly for Romney, who has Republicans worried that his campaign is faltering.
"If he doesn't get on board soon, there's trouble out there," said David Woodard, a South Carolina-based Republican consultant. The stakes for Romney, he said, "keep going up with each passing day."
The debate comes as the Romney campaign desperately tries to reverse weeks of bad headlines and gloomy poll numbers. Obama has built a national lead and a growing edge in key swing states, notably crucial Florida, Ohio and Virginia.
"Romney's trailing in the critical battleground states, and this is about the last opportunity for a challenger to level the playing field and pick up a bit of momentum," said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion.
Debates do matter: 67 percent of those who voted in 2008 said the debates were helpful in deciding between the candidates, according to the Pew Research Center. But this year's electorate is unusually polarized, and Miringoff said there appear to be fewer undecided and "persuadables" left to convince at this stage of the election.
"Debates have tended to be reinforcing," he said. "If you like what the Republicans say, you're going to like what Romney says, and if you like the Democrats, you'll like Obama."
The race is far from out of reach, of course. Republicans still see hope. The economy, though rebounding slightly, remains sluggish. Unemployment is still over 8 percent, and the Arab world is newly turbulent.
But time is running out for Romney.
"He has to shape the race in the final 40-plus days," said Craig Robinson, editor of The Iowa Republican newsletter and the former executive director of the Iowa Republican Party. "He needs to focus on showing the differences between himself and the president, and these debates allow him to go on offense."
Though analysts say debates are rarely game changers, they can elevate a challenger, simply by appearing on the same stage as the incumbent. White House insiders say the first debate is Romney's best opportunity, because it will be the first time he appears before the nation on an equal footing with the president.
A few of the presidential face-offs have proved pivotal, including the 1960 matchup in which a telegenic John F. Kennedy bested an ailing Richard Nixon and won the White House. In 1980, the debate was held a week before the election, and voters saw and liked an upbeat Ronald Reagan and turned against a gloomy Jimmy Carter. Reagan surged and won the election.
Romney has dismissed talk that his campaign needs a major reset and says it's picking up steam.
"People acknowledge the last couple of weeks have been challenging," said campaign adviser Brian Jones. "At the same time, the campaign is getting back into a rhythm, back on track."
The 90-minute debate at the University of Denver, starting at 9 p.m. EDT, will focus on domestic issues. Jim Lehrer, the host of PBS' "NewsHour," will moderate.
A second debate Oct. 16 in New York will use a town hall-style and will feature questions on foreign and domestic policy from the audience. The participants will be undecided voters selected by the Gallup Organization. The third debate on Oct. 22 in Florida will cover foreign policy.
The two vice presidential candidates — Vice President Joe Biden and Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the Republican nominee — will debate in Kentucky on Oct. 11.
This year's debates begin after some battleground states already have started voting. Early voting began in Iowa on Thursday, absentee voting is under way in Virginia, and Ohio voters can begin voting Tuesday.

C'mon, gdog4766, the man is running to serve the country; you.
Romney's sons are not running for the presidency. Obama was never in the military.
From all appearances, gdog is hopeless. Maybe we should pray for him
The biggest thing Obama will have going for him will be the Mitt-Flopper!
The biggest thing Romney will have going for him will be Obama-Liar & Flopper.
What can Obama defend his record for the last 4 years?
Green energy? talk about bankruptcy and companies being chopped up and moved to China?
GM: jobs saved? parts sold off, jobs lost, Chevy Volt
Unemployment: Record high Welfare?
Middle East?
Seriously Palin could win this debate.
And i double dare Mitt to end with a Birth-er comment, Obama will change colors and walk off the stage.
Judging from the media coverage, you might think that our economy was improving. You'd be wrong.
The truth is that the slowest recovery on record appears destined to set even more records for slow growth. That's not good news for President Obama. And more bad economic news hit him this past week. Here's a short list of indicators:
-- Slow GDP growth: GDP rose at an annual rate of just 1.25% during April through June, barely keeping up with the growth in population. The economy has been getting slower and slower since the end of last year.
-- Durable goods orders plunged 13.2 percent in August.
-- Median household income has actually fallen. Income has dropped from $53,718 to $50,678 since the "recovery" started in June 2009.
Despite all this, the news media has been uncharacteristically cheerful the last couple of months. Take some of the newspaper headlines from August, when the unemployment rate had gone up again for the second time in three months, rising from 8.2 to 8.3 percent. The Wall Street Journal headline read: "Job Gains Spark Stock Rally." The New York Times reported: "Hiring Picks Up in July, but Data Gives No Clear Signal."
These headlines can't truly be labeled "dishonest," but they are misleading. Initial job growth was reported to be 163,000 (later revised downward to 141,000), but the working age population had grown by 198,000.
The media decided to emphasize the small grain of positive news that they could find in the report which was the slight uptick in jobs.
But the press isn't always so consistent. You won't be surprised to learn that when there is a Democratic president in the White House, the media tend to view things in a positive light. When Republicans are at the helm, they are more negative.
Kevin Hassett at the American Enterprise Institute and I recently studied newspaper headlines from 1985 to 2004. We looked at the percentage of newspaper headlines that were positive when new economic numbers were released. For example, after accounting for the unemployment rate and new jobs and whether those numbers were increasing or decreasing, we looked at the percentage of newspaper headlines for those stories that could be classified as positive, negative, neutral or mixed.
Here's what we found: For the top 10 largest newspaper, for the same types of unemployment news, the headlines were 15 to 16 percent more positive when a Democrat was president.
Today, it appears that the mainstream press is particularly eager to support President Obama. They are bending over backwards to spin the economic numbers in a positive way.

|Re: [Android] Notifications and singletop
|Fri, 24 Aug 2012 17:16:44 GMT
I don't know enough about those platforms to say. I can do that research next week if people think it would be valuable. I can say, personally, that I actually came to Cordova with a personal webapp some months ago, hoping to do notifications and maybe even Google Cloud Messaging push notifications, but found that it's not core and got lost in all the plugins. Having at least local notifications would be good. As an update, I've also done enough research to determine that there's no way on Android to call onclose events properly, since Android doesn't notify apps when the user dismisses their notifications. There's even a feature request filed for that, but no word on it.[1] I'm working on bringing the API in line with the spec. I will of course document that Android quirk of no onclose. I'll also put the singleTop part into the documentation, not the code.

HUNTER ARMY AIRFIELD, Ga. - After 55 years of housing Soldiers, the last of three Pinwheel Barracks is finally coming down on Hunter Army Airfield.
In place of the historic barracks, the Savannah District of the Army Corps of Engineers will build six, 72-man barrack complexes on Horace Emmet Wilson Blvd. for 3rd Combat Aviation Soldiers, according to Calvin Shipman, Hunter's project manager for the new construction. Construction of four of the barracks is scheduled to begin in Fiscal Year 2013 at a cost of $11.5 million; construction of the other two is scheduled to begin in Fiscal Year 2014 at a cost of $5.9 million.
"The new barracks will meet the Army Standard for our Soldiers, and will allow us to have a facility which will serve us for the next few decades with better living conditions," said Lt. Col. Jose Aguilar, Hunter Army Airfield garrison commander. "The new barracks will be more efficient with less maintenance operating costs."
The Army has refurbished the buildings since the 1950s to keep them to a standard worthy of housing Soldiers until a few years ago, when Soldiers were permanently displaced from the Pinwheel Barracks because of mold, mildew and missing tiles.
Across the street, two new 72-man barracks complexes are currently being built for 3rd CAB Soldiers by the Savannah District Corps of Engineers.
A third 48-man barracks complex, without a unit designation at this time, is also under construction.
It is located in the 300 block of Billy Mitchell Blvd. beside the 260th Quartermaster Battalion. The three barracks, valued at $20 million, are scheduled to be completed in August 2010.
Along with new barracks in FY-13, the 3rd CAB will get a new dining facility, three company operations facilities, two vehicle maintenance shops, and an aircraft maintenance hangar.
Lieutenant Colonel Aguilar is pleased with the additional facilities coming to Hunter.
"We thank our country for providing the resources to take care our Soldiers," he said.

Motorists zooming through the Interstate 40/Interstate 27 interchange might see some speed limit zoning changes taking place.
The Amarillo Traffic Commission approved a traffic engineering study Wednesday, recommending the City Commission approve speed limit sign changes between the interchange and downtown.
The effort is geared toward eliminating confusion among drivers.
The study noted that southbound drivers leaving downtown on Taylor and Pierce streets see a 40 mph sign south of 11th Avenue, but see no other speed limit sign on I-27 until near the 26th Avenue exit.
Traffic taking the I-40 exit is advised of a 45 mph curve while still within a 40 mph zone.
The study recommends consistency between the speed limit and the curve advisory speeds by replacing the 40 mph zone with a 45 mph zone.
Also noted is that northbound traffic approaching downtown is allowed to travel at 55 mph until it crests the 15th Avenue bridge. The driver is required to reduce to 40 mph and, 300 feet later, to 30 mph.
The proposal would increase the minimum speed zone length to 1,056 feet, slowing traffic from 55 mph to 45 mph and providing drivers more time to decelerate before reaching downtown.
"It just makes the signing a little bit clearer," city traffic engineer Taylor Withrow said. "It makes it easier for the driver trying to comply with the speed limits."
Increasing the speed zone lengths will give drivers adequate time to slow down, Withrow said.
Speed studies by the Texas Department of Transportation in the existing 40 mph zone found an 85th percentile speed of 58 mph for southbound traffic and 54 mph for northbound traffic.
Withrow said the proposed changes will help drivers, but speeding is likely to go unchecked.
"It's going to eliminate confusion as far as how fast they're supposed to be driving," he said. "I don't think it's going to change people's habits at all."

I don't know if such a thing exists, but I thought before I try to to write something like this myself, I'd ask if someone knows about such a plugin.
What I want is relatively simple:
1. The user uploads a media file via the media library
2. The user adds a "Title" and "Description"
3. The user gets the option to add the file to a post
here comes the important part
4. There already is some player code in which the "title" and "description" should be integrated.
Is there already a similar plugin where I could exchange the player code for example, or are there any very general plugins, which would allow for this?
I hope that was somehow understandable, and thanks in advance :)

The nursing school is directly attached to the hospital-the location could not be better. Admissions is a highly selective process, and so most of the students spend a lot of time studying and focusing on school.

Re: Toyota Financial- credit score 604 and 624- 12.5% APR
Refi an auto is hard to do with poor credit scores, plus the additional inquiries will damage your score further. May be worth the wait (be sure to save up a good down payment) depending on who they financed you through.

By Russell Sellers, Army Flier StaffJune 9, 2011
FORT RUCKER, Ala. -- Men looking for ways to monitor or improve their health have a good place to start June 15 at The Landing, according to Directorate of Family, Morale, Wellness and Recreation officials.
The first-ever Men's Sports, Fitness and Wellness Expo runs in conjunction with Men's Health Week, which is June 13-17, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is open to the public with free admission, said Janice Erdlitz, DFMWR marketing manager. Patrons attending the event will have many different opportunities to learn about their health and what things to watch for as they get older.
"It's a great opportunity to encourage the community to come out and be aware of their health," she said.
The event features a variety of booths where attendees can pick up brochures, learn about health and wellness from personal trainers, chiropractors and massage therapists, she added.
"Everything is going to happen at once," she said. "There will be take-home items and promotional items available for free. The items will have some helpful information people can carry with them wherever they go."
The expo follows the Women's Health Fair from last month and Erdlitz said DFMWR is hoping to make it a regular event.
Leigh Ann Dukes, DFMWR commercial sponsorship sales manager, said the event is primarily for men, but it's not just open to men.
"Sometimes husbands might not have time to make it out to these events, but their wives can come by and pick up information for them," she said. "It's also a chance for women to learn more about their men's health."
Kristi Fink, Fortenberry-Colton Physical Fitness Facility program coordinator, said getting information from the expo could be beneficial to men of varying ages.
"As we age, our bones and muscles can tend to wear down, so it's important to know how to do certain exercises that can help prevent that," she said. "The information available from our trainers will help those looking to do cardio or strength training get started."
Fink added that those who attend the expo will also get a chance to learn about the various classes available to them at Fortenberry-Colton and the other fitness facilities on post.
For more information on the expo, call 598-5311.

A refreshing blend of black teas
You may experience a familiar swaying sensation as you drink Tazo® iced Black tea. This blend of crisp black teas evokes the feeling of resting in a hammock under a shady tree.
Did you know? In 412 B.C., Persian engineers invented a way to store ice through the summer months by using primitive underground refrigerators called yakhchals. Though effective, their location made them hard to get to during phainida game halftimes.
Tazo happens when one combines amazingly flavorful teas with a fertile imagination and some other good things from nature.
The Way of Tazo: Only the finest leaves were used in this tea. Those that didn't make the cut were composted and wished "better luck next time" as they returned to earth.

I am a huge iced tea drinker and the large pitcher-sized tazo teabags are my favorite. They are difficult to find all year round- thank goodness for drugstore.com!
To prepare a refreshing pitcher of Tazo® Iced Tea:
Place 1 filterbag in a 2-quart pitcher and fill with 1 quart boiling water. Steep for 3 minutes. gently squeeze bag and remove. Fill pitcher to top with cold water. Serve over ice. Refrigerate after brewing and enjoy the results within 24 hours.
1 filter bag + 1 qt/1 L boiling water + 3 minutes + 1 qt/1 L cold water
