Very cute hostel as its a garden. The dorms are nice aswell. I would of liked that they would have an actual locker in the dorm, they only had a small safe to put smaller valuables. Bigger lockers that locks with your own locker is a must for me. It is more in the country side so not close to the road, I wouldnt walk in that street alone at night haha. It is not far from the local bus station. I had trouble understanding some of the staff but they were very nice and kind.
Many thanks for taking the time to review the Judy House, your comments help me know that I am on the right track'. Currently revamping the dorms to enable improved storage space. Also adding one new fan per bed! Westland Mountain is a very seaside/country safe neighbourhood with an extremely efficient Neighbourhood watch system. The main road it 10 mins walk away, as is the local beach. I wouldn't walk anywhere in the world late at night, but early evening in our community is fine. We also have a number of safe, affordable drivers at your request. Brush up on your Patios next visit, Miss H is certainly improving her English! Thanks again, One Love !

It's a beautiful place and garden but unfortunately the owner was not there and the younger woman receptionist was on the phone most of the times and every time I needed sometjhing I had to wait for 10-15 for her, also 1 night there was no staff on site to check-in the new guests and they had to stay outside all night, I am sure if the owner was there it would have been better. Also the rooms are made of metal units and was boiling hot. They should be clear about the tax and not extra tax.
Many thanks for taking the time to review the Judy House and for your 'beautiful' description of it, you thought the construction weird. The taxes (not extra tax), which seemed to be your main concern are clearly stated on my Judy House Hostelworld page. I re-confirmed them you in writing after my Senior Housekeeper reported to me that you were refusing pay the taxes and she could not collect any payment from you for your room 2 days after arrival. To ensure some payment was collected from you I instructed her to collect your room payment without the taxes. You then booked another night and paid the taxes without argument at all for that 4th night? My 'young' 36 year old housekeeper would not have credit on her 'pay as you go' phone to be 'talking all the time for 10-15 mins'. The guest manual in your room is there to answer lots of your questions, which is not her job normally. There is also free internet where you can research questions/answers 24/7's. My Hostel rooms are constructed out of local products zinc and wood, painted, neatly furnished, clean and tidy with fans and mosquito nets. They are designed for travellers who need somewhere to sleep and store their belongings safely. They are cool at night and not designed for daytime living. The situation you described as 'no staff on site' for new guests was normal between the office closing, when all booked guest are checked in, and night security coming on duty. The guests you describe were 'walk ins', people not booked in which I do not pay staff to wait around for. They were certainly were not 'outside all night' as you report. If the "owner had been there" it would not have been any different as my staff followed correct procedure. I would, however, ensured that you paid in full. You left owing us 3 nights taxes which I should like to be paid for immediately. I will be sending you a Paypal invoice to help you do this.

Was a great option for my girlfriend and I. Negril is very expensive and this is the best value for money. It's about a 15 min walk to the good beach but there are plenty of food options and supermarkets close by. The hostel is next to a farm type thing so you will hear a bit of noise from 6am onward. Loved our stay here and would return. Thank you to sue and marquel. Chris and Nicole
Great to hear from you both and so glad to get your review which is wonderful and helpful to other travellers. Many thanks for taking the time write it. So looking forward to seeing you both back here one day. One Love!

This place has very friendly staff, however the administration is a bit chaotic. Nice place with a lot of backpackers. Unfortunately there are now sockets in the rooms, the only place where you can charge your phone/camera/etc is at a bench (outside). Also, the safe in your own room is not always working and it is easy to steal the whole safe (just a little one which is easy to carry). Please note, they charge you 3USD per night for taxes. I didnt pay this anywhere else in Jamaica.

Hatte nur zwei Nächte gebucht und hab dann verlängert weils so schön war! Sehr liebe Menschen, ein wunderschönes Plätzchen und das Schlafen in den Hängematten ist auch angenehmer als erwartet. Strand und Läden sind in einigen Gehminuten erreichbar. Wirklich nur zu empfehlen!
So froh, dass Sie länger geblieben, was oft passiert. Es macht mich ein gutes Gefühl zu wissen, dass wir die richtigen Leistungen machen. Vielen Dank für Ihre immer und die Zeit nehmen, es zu schreiben. Eine Liebe! So glad you stayed longer, which often happens. Makes me feel good to know we are making the right services.

Judy house is a nice garden environment, lots of biodiversity. The place itself is a long walk up the road, so to access anything is at least a half mile walk. It's a wonderful place, you sleep in hammocks, which are comfortable enough, and also the chillest security guard in the world, Martel. If you want good location, stay at some resort on the 7 mile beach, although I doubt you'll find one for $8 a night.
Many thanks for your interested review, pity you did not score the location so high. Only 10 mins walk up the road, maybe 15 and 10 mins down? Pretty and Country is just what we are, enabling guests to enjoy the real Jamaica, whilst being just off the road from the main and within walking distance of many things. Lots of interesting locals to meet when walking too. Glad you enjoyed our 'chilled security guard and I agree he the best ever! I love my garden too, it was here first, and think my place, the Judy House Cottages and Backpacker Hostel is wonderful. Hope to see you back here one day. One Love!

Delay-based TCP variants continue to attract a large amount of attention in the networking community. Potentially, they offer the possibility to efficiently use network resources while at the same time achieving low queueing delay and virtually zero packet loss. One major impediment to the deployment of delay-based TCP variants is their inability to coexist fairly with standard loss-based TCP. In this paper we propose a simple strategy to make the fair coexistence possible and to ensure that delay-based flows will revert back to the delay-based operation when loss-based flows are no longer present. Analytical and ns-2 simulation results are presented to validate the proposed algorithm.

Pros: Perfect size up from a home use to small office use. Fast, efficient and built in wireless.
Cons: Small paper tray.
Other Thoughts: First one was DOA but New Egg replaced it - it just took an extra week. While sometimes refurbished units have a fluke and this one did - I wish they had a faster option when products come dead on arrival, for example pay for another one and ship the other back instead of waiting.

First of all, dont expect this hotel as other hotels. This is basically kinda an old apartment with virtual check in and check out. No front desk, no employees and no safety. Once you book the hotel, someone will just send you a text with an instruction that how to open the door (with number key)and get the key for your room. Thats it. If you call him back, no matter what, he will not pick your call. It does not matter if your room is dirty or something not working, nobody will be there to help you. I had problem in finding the key and I called him 4 times but he did not pick up. Then I call from another number and he picked up the phone. But even after that he didnot help much. Very irresponsible and I will never ever recommend anyone to stay here. ...

MIAMI (AP) - Spain's King Juan Carlos I and Gov. Charlie Crist met in Miami to discuss trade opportunities.
Both leaders noted the history and culture that Florida and Spain share. Each said Friday they particularly hope to collaborate on renewable energy projects.
Crist said Florida is negotiating with the company that built the world's largest solar energy farm in Spain, to build a similar farm in central Florida.
The Florida-Spain Business Forum is part of a series of events with state, local and international officials honoring the 450th anniversary of the Spanish arrival in northwest Florida.
The king and his wife, Queen Sofia, visited Pensacola on Thursday.

Delicious and quick and easy to make. I made this just as written. It's got a mild but pleasant flavor. You could always add cayenne pepper if you prefer lots of heat. I garnished the soup with chopped fresh cilantro. Thanx for sharing!
I was looking for something super-fast and easy as I don't feel like cooking tonight. I also needed something healthy. This recipe fits the bill. I made it even easier by using a can of diced tomatoes with chilis and using a half a bag of frozen "seasoning mix" (diced onions, peppers and celery) Sure it would possibly have been better if I had sauted the veggies and added more complex seasonings, but this is "Almost Instant" and for that category, it is pretty darn good. I'll serve it with garlic bread and a salad today and drained in burritos tomorrow (I'll use the soupy drained part for my own lunch tomorrow... no need to waste)
Used this recipe because my wife is pregnant and needs to watch her sodium intake. It was low in sodium and fat which is a plus. It tasted good despite the fact that we love our chili with meat.

Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out.
Stephen Covey (1932 -)
Contributed by: Shae
Our struggle to put first things first can be characterized by the contrast between two powerful tools that direct us: the clock and the compass. The clock represents our commitments, appointments, schedules, goals, activities -- what we do with, and how we manage our time. The compass represents our vision, values, principles, mission, conscience, direction -- what we feel is important and how we lead our lives. In an effort to close the gap between the clock and the compass in our lives, many of us turn to the field of "time management."

I believe the most important attribute for a leader is being principle-centered. Centering on principles that are universal and timeless provides a foundation and compass to guide every decision and every act. I've based my life's work on promoting principles and teaching the power that resides in principle-centered leadership. Principles are not my invention; they are self-evident and are found throughout the world. If you look at all enduring philosophies, religions and thoughts, you will find principles such as integrity, compassion, trust, honesty, accountability and others at their core. I simply translated these principles into a framework of habits, which when followed with consistency and frequency transforms one's character and allows one to earn the moral authority necessary for enduring leadership.

Product Description
Quill & Quire
In 2002, The Globe and Mail asked columnist Sheema Khan to share her personal insights on Islam and Muslim life in the wake of 9/11. Of Hockey and Hijab, a compilation of these essays, is provocative, intelligent, and – given the thorny nature of the issues explored – surprisingly accessible. Each concise piece looks at a political, religious, or social issue, and succeeds in bringing both wisdom and humour to subjects the average newspaper reader might shy away from.
The collection covers a wide variety of topics, ranging from the Maher Arar affair to a woman's right to wear a hijab while playing soccer. Khan fearlessly confronts Islamophobia head on, advising readers not to make damaging generalizations while expressing her disdain for the rise of terror and fanaticism. The final section of the book, "The Rights of Women," dissects some of the more controversial and misunderstood issues around religious patriarchy and sexism.
Khan has a knack for exposing the hypocrisy of public perception and media interpretation. In "What Close-minded Liberals Can Learn from a Rape Victim," she calls out liberals and progressives who fail to see that their so-called "open-mindedness" is actually limited to those who share similar world-views. She eviscerates the popular belief that devout Muslim women are "poor ill-informed souls" who have no ability to think for themselves. For many, she argues, a secular outlook can be dissatisfying, and she points out that denying someone's choice to seek out spiritual fulfillment is the furthest thing from progressive.
There are readers who might find Kahn a bundle of contradictions: a modern liberal scholar, a hockey and soccer mom, and a practising Muslim. For that very reason, hers is a voice rarely heard in mainstream media, and her contribution to our ongoing cultural conversation is a valuable one. As Khan herself puts it, without taking the time to recognize the multifaceted nature of the issues at hand, we are in danger of becoming "casual observers who assume so much and know so little."
"I will never see my own country quite the same again. I thank Sheema Khan for lending me her eyes and giving all Canadians the precious and welcome gift of her words. Her insight into everything from religion to hockey - often thought to be the same thing in this country! - is blessed with intelligence and humour." - Roy MacGregor, author of Canadians: A Portrait of a Country and Its People "From women's issues to terrorism to Islamophobia, Of Hockey and Hijab takes the reader on a journey to explore many contemporary issues affecting Muslims in Canada and abroad. Khan's book is a must read for all." - Monia Mazigh, author of Hope and Despair "Sheema Khan reflects on issues ranging from discrimination from others to religious patriarchy from within, faced by her Muslim coreligionists in Canada and abroad. She does so with empathy, wisdom, and humour, concluding that reasonable accommodation on the part of non-Muslims and a proper reading of the Koran and understanding of the teachings of the prophet Muhammad would lead to an Islam that would be perfectly compatible with Canada 's unique multicultural experiment." - Michael Adams, President, Environics InstituteSee all Product Description

Chickpea, Potato, and Cabbage Curry
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 45 mins
This is one of our favorite Madhur Jaffrey recipes from her wonderful book "From Curries to Kebabs: Recipes From the Indian Spice Trail". We like this with steamed basmati and parathas. My honey likes leftovers cold in his lunch. I use young green cabbage for this, and sometimes if I'm distracted I will use rinsed, canned chickpeas. I have used habanero and scotch bonnet peppers, and also red pepper flakes, it all depends on your personal taste, and what's available at the grocery. The preparation times do not include the chickpea soak/cook time.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup dried garbanzo beans
- 1 cup chunked onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1⁄4-1⁄2 teaspoon red pepper flakes or 1⁄4 fresh habaneros or 1⁄4 fresh scotch bonnet pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 tablespoon hot curry powder (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon dry roasted and ground cumin or 1 teaspoon just cumin powder
- 1 lb potato, peel and cube
- 1 -2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 4 1⁄2 cups cabbage, chunks
- Soak the chickpeas overnight in water to cover. Drain, recover with fresh water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer covered until very tender. Drain and reserve the cooking liquid. Add enough water to the reserved cooking liquid to equal 2 1/2 cups.
- Put the onion, garlic, peppers and 1/4 cup of water in a blender and process until smooth. You can always add more pepper in the end, but you can't take it away.
- Heat the oil over a medium high heat. Put in the onion paste and stir fry for 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium low, then cover and continue cooking the paste. for another 2-3 minutes. Stir it frequently just to prevent sticking, and keep it covered between stirs.
- Add the curry powder and the cumin, stir.
- Add the chickpeas, potatoes, the lesser amount of salt, and the reserved chickpea cooking liquid.
- Bring to a boil then reduce heat and cover. Cook gently, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are done to your tastes, 20 - 25 minutes.
- Add in the cabbage and an additional 1/2 - 1 cup of hot water. Bring back to a simmer, cover and cook for an additional 10 - 15 minutes, or until the cabbage is just softened. Do not over cook the cabbage.
- Taste and adjust the salt/ peppers to your tastes.
Most Helpful
Great vegetarian recipe that's super light on the wallet. I used a can of chickpeas and used chicken broth in place of the chickpea broth and then just salted to taste. I used a sweet curry from Penzeys and also added a heaping Tb of honey at the end. Hubby loved it, thanks for the keeper.
Loved this easy recipe that was bursting with flavor. A great way to use up cabbage and the perfect amount of heat. We served over basmati rice and with garlic naan from Trader Joe's. I'd definitely make this again! Made for Sun and Spice 2013.
Loved this recipe the spices were perfect for me. Cabbage around my way hasn't been very fresh so I used frozen brussels instead. I added some mini meatballs to make it DH friendly but I would love this dish vegan. I will definately make again with cabbage. Thanks. Made for PAC Spring 09.

Eagles at Target Center, 9/18/13
Photo by Tony Nelson
The Eagles
Target Center, Minneapolis
Wednesday, September 18, 2013
Unpopular opinion alert: The Eagles are goddamn good. It's like these guys emerged from the womb fully equipped to be singing six-voice harmonies and blending guitar lines around the same time they started walking. And until you see them play live for three hours, it's also easy to forget just how many great songs they wrote.
See Also: Slideshow: The Eagles at Target Center, 9/18/13
Of course, that's one of the blessings and curses of the Eagles. They have hits from now till tomorrow, but do you really want to hear them? For many, the answer is no. After all, why would you ever want to intentionally listen to the Eagles when you can walk into your nearest shopping mall and hear "Hotel California" playing softly over the PA system? But for that reason, seeing Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh and the rest of the boys live can be a palette-cleansing experience for those who on one level want to act out violently when they hear another goddamn Eagles song, but on another enjoy well-crafted tunes written and performed by amazingly talented musicians.
Photos by Tony Nelson
Taking in last night's Target Center show with ears and eyes as unencumbered with the past as possible, there was only one conclusion to be reached: It was a great show. Unlike many of their contemporaries, the Eagles are still alive (literally) and can still play and play well. Furthermore, it's as if the tunes they wrote in the 1970s were written with an eye toward how they'd sound in the 2010s. Even vaguely sexual lyrics -- for example, "Everybody wants to touch somebody before the night is through" from "Heartache Tonight" -- have aged well in light of their ambiguity (and, in the case mentioned, in light of Daft Punk).
As you'd expect, last night, the Eagles rolled through their hits. With the exception of one song from 1994's "Hell Freezes Over," none of their newer material was played. Their show on this tour is tied in with Showtime's History of the Eagles documentary, and the early acoustic numbers were interspliced with documentary clips detailing how songs were written and when various members joined the band. But as the the electric instruments emerged along with the full band, the video clips became fewer and further between and the songs were left to do the talking. And that's good, because the Eagles' tunes can carry a live show all on their own.
For this tour, guitarist, founding member, Minneapolis native, and Hank-from-Breaking Bad look-alike Bernie Leadon is back with the group, which, as always, is led by Don Henley and Glenn Frey. Timothy B. Schmit contributes bass and vocals, with Joe Walsh kicking in lead guitar, vocals, and lots of personality. In fact, the second set of the show -- which proceeded roughly chronologically from the Eagles' early country-flavored stuff to the guitar-driven material of the later albums -- sort of felt like "Joe Walsh and the Eagles," as it featured the Walsh tunes "In the City," "Life's Been Good," "Funk 49," and "Rocky Mountain Way."
But the unsung hero of the show was guitarist Steuart Smith, who on this tour is taking the place of Don Felder. Smith's tasty, twangy country licks provided lots of flavor for the less Walsh-centric songs, and on "Hotel California" (among other tunes), his lead playing provided a cleaner counterpoint to Walsh's distinctive rock n' roll sound.
Frey and Henley still sound great -- Henley's vocals are especially soulful and impressive when he's not playing the drums (he hands those duties off on a handful of the more rocking tunes to one of the Eagles' many contributing musicians). In fact, if you would've closed your eyes and just listened, it'd be hard to say whether you were listening to an Eagles show from 1979 or 2013.

There were moments when the boys showed their age. For instance, the key change at the end of "Already Gone" that's familiar to all rock 'n' roll fans who like to sing in the shower was scrapped, presumably to save everyone's voices for later. And Schmit's high vocals on "I Can't Tell You Why" were a little shaky. As my dad (an aging rock n' roller in his own right) explained, "the falsetto is the first thing to go."
But in the end, a jam-packed Target Center crowd got exactly what it paid for and went home happy. The Eagles' long run shows no sign of stopping anytime soon, and that's a very good thing for music listeners who are able to keep their palettes clean and appreciate "Life in the Fast Lane" as much the 2,000th time as they did the first.
Critic's Notebook: My God, the harmonies! While each member of the band can certainly get around his respective instrument, the most impressive aspect of the Eagles' sound is how seamlessly and beautifully their voices blend together. How many rock n' roll shows have you seen with (gasp) seven-voice harmonies before? (The singing is especially impressive during the earlier country-flavored material.)
The Crowd: It's an Eagles show and ticket prices were upwards of $100 a pop, so what do you expect? In general, the Target Center was packed with people on the upper end of middle age, many of whom were collared, perfumed or cologned, and very excited to sing along with their favorite tunes (in some cases, much to the chagrin of their neighbors).
Overheard In The Crowd: "Don Henley sure is taller in person than I thought he was."
"Timothy B. Schmit looks rough and Joe Walsh looks great -- who would've thought that's how it would turn out in 1979?"
And most memorably, right after one of "Lyin' Eyes" choruses (featuring, once again, ridiculous harmonies) -- the roughly 65-year-old guy next to me tapped me on the shoulder and asked, "How good are these guys, young fella?" I couldn't do anything but nod. Love it or hate it, these guys are really good, no arguing that.

Hey Gang,
I'm hoping to get some coding help here. I'm not bad at manipulating PHP, but I'm crap at writing it, so I'm hoping someone with a little extra time and a generous spirit can help me out.
I've got an Archive template which calls each category in alphabetical order followed by it's associated posts. My code looks like this:
<?php $cats = get_categories("hierarchical=0"); ?>
<?php if($cats != NULL) { ?>
<?php foreach ($cats as $cat) { ?>
<?php if($cat != NULL) {
$base_url = get_bloginfo('home') . "/category/" . $cat->slug; ?>

<a href="<?php echo $base_url?>"><?php echo $cat->cat_name?>

<?php } ?>
<?php // Show category description
if ($cat->category_description != NULL) ?>

<?php echo $cat->category_description ?>

<?php $myposts = get_posts("category=$cat->cat_ID"); ?>
<?php foreach($myposts as $post) : ?>

<?php the_time('M d') ?>. <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>

<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
But now I've created categories which I want to exclude from this list but have absolutely no idea where to begin.
Thanks a million (in advance) for any help you can provide. Like I said, I'm no good at writing php syntax, so if you could give a code example that would be infinitely helpful.

Hey everyone. I've been trying to get code to display as regular code within pages. I've tryed using a few code syntax plugings, only to no avail. I'm doing a few articles on customizing wordpress, and whenever I insert code between the code tags, WP just removes it, or, if it's php code (ex: code to grab the page title in between title tags), WP just parses the code like any old php.
Any plugin work really well that I haven't found yet?

Re: Transunion MYFICO Score
GCM415 wrote:
Yeah, but how do you get someone to pull the one of your choice? I'm going to keep plugging away at it, but wan't sure if that was possible or how a 703 TU FICO score even rated versus an EQ FICO score.
A lender will pull the one they want. They may also pull more than one. A mortgage and many other large loans will always pull all three. You can usually do some research and find out which CRA a specific lender is most likely to use but that may vary by your location.
Lenders that look at thousands of scores tend to find that if a person has identical information on their reports, as I do, then EQ tends to be lowest with TU a few points higher and EX a few points above that.

Computational Biology
The recent completion of the human genome project underlines the need for new computational and theoretical tools in modern biology. The tools are essential for analyzing, understanding and manipulating the detailed information on life we now have at our disposal.
Problems in computational molecular biology vary from understanding sequence data to the analysis of protein shapes, prediction of biological function, study of gene networks, and cell-wide computations.
Cornell has a university-wide plan in the science of genomics; the Department of Computer Science is playing a critical role in this initiative. Researchers in the computer science department are engaged in a wide range of computational biology projects, from genetic mapping, to advanced sequence analysis, fold prediction, structure comparison algorithms, protein classification, comparative genomics, and long-time simulation of protein molecules.
Faculty and Researchers
Adam Siepel has worked on various problems in computational biology, including the detection of recombinant viruses, the reconstruction of evolutionary histories based on genome rearrangements, and the integration of heterogeneous bioinformatics software tools. His most recent work has been in comparative genomics, particularly of mammals, and has included a mixture of statistical modeling, algorithms development, software implementation, and scientific discovery. Adam likes to tackle problems of practical importance in genomics, such as gene finding and conserved element identification, using methods from machine learning and statistics. He is an active participant in several large-scale comparative genomics projects, including the Mammalian Gene Collection project, the ENCODE project, and the Rhesus Macaque Sequencing and Analysis Consortium.
Carla Gomes works on solutions to hard combinatorial problems, with an emphasis on planning and scheduling problems, combining techniques fromm Computer Science (CS), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Operations Reserach (OR). Her research is leading to the creation of the new field of computational sustainability, which develops and applies computational methods to enable a sustainable environment, economy and society.
Klara Kedem 's research area is Computational Geometry. Her current research interest include applications of pattern matching and shape matching to ares bioinformatics, computer vision, and historical document analysis. With colleagues she discovered the minimum Hausdorff distance for image comparison, and developed a new metric, the URMS, to compare protein shapes. Recent extensions to this method, based on geometric dynamic programming, were applied to compute consensus shapes for protein families. At Ben-Gurion University Klara studied dendrite shapes with colleagues from the Life Sciences Dept. and collaborates with the Chemistry Dept. on finding similarities between conformational polymorphs. Recently she has been working on searching structural RNA motifs in large databases.
Alon Keinan studies how human genetic variation has arisen from evolutionary history. His research focuses on elucidating the history of modern human populations and on developing computational methods for searching for genes important in human biology. With a background in computer science and statistics, Keinan develops theoretical tools and applies them to genomic data sets, bridging theoretical population genetics and empirical studies.
Jon Kleinberg 's research focuses on algorithmic issues at the interface of networks and information. In the area of computational biology, he has worked on algorithms for the construction of comparative genomic maps (jointly with Prof. Susan McCouch from Plant Breeding and Ph.D. student Debra Goldberg). He is also studying sequence-structure relationships in proteins and the `connectivity' of protein families via mutations in sequence space (joint work with Prof. Ron Elber).
David Shmoys is studying approximate algorithms for genetic linkage mapping (identifying the locations of markers on the genome) to reduce the cost of wet lab experiments and improve the accuracy of the resulting maps.
A new graduate program in Computational Molecular Biology that crosses colleges was initiated with the participation of the computer science field.

Health & Parenting
Kids Still Getting Too Much 'Screen Time': CDC
Dr. Angela Diaz, director of the Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center in New York City, agreed that parents should start the moderation message early.
"It's important to try to establish children's habits early in life," Diaz said. "Try to create an environment where kids have choices other than TV and computers."
That, she said, includes getting children involved in after-school activities, whether sports, dance, music or art. For older kids, Diaz noted, volunteer work is a good choice, too -- because they'll be interacting with, and helping, other people.
Diaz said, even though a lot of the concern with excessive screen time is that it makes kids couch potatoes -- which could affect their physical health -- there is also an important social aspect.
Teens may think they're being social online, but that can't take the place of face-to-face relationships, Diaz stressed.
"It's important for kids to be connected to people," she said, "and not just isolated in their own rooms."
Hogan agreed. "Social-media tools are great. We all use them," she said. "But you also have to get out there and talk to people."
That advice goes for adults, too. "Parents have to be role models," Diaz said. Families need to sit down together for meals and have conversations, she said -- which means turning off the TV and ignoring the phones and other devices they use all day.
Hogan said parents should also ban TVs and computers from their kids' bedrooms. That's, in part, so they can monitor what kids are doing online. But it's also to ensure that screen time is not getting in the way of sleep time.
"Research is showing that screen use at night really disrupts sleep," Hogan said. "And it is absolutely key that kids, including teenagers, get enough sleep."

I know it's possible in Mail Enable Ent. Version, which is not free. (I don't want to pay right now). Is this possible or do I have to use any other script?
Is this possible in hMailserver?

I recently replaced my HD with a SATA SSD since my previous one failed. My new SSD is a week old and Windows 7 is already reporting file corruption.
The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume \Device\HarddiskVolume1.
I scanned the drive and fixed the errors. The scan results flashed by very quickly but I'm fairly sure it reported no bad sectors.
What could have caused the corruption on my disk?
Is it a sign that my new drive is failing as well?

Drivers cautioned on wintry weather driving

Snowy conditions came later than usual this season, and last winter's light snowfall meant drivers weren't accustomed to the white stuff.
"Because of last year's mild winter, many of Ohio's motorists haven't driven in significant ice and snow in about 20 months," said Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) Director Jerry Wray before the snow hit Akron.
Local safety officials said that first major Akron-area snowfall Dec. 26 caused some minor problems, but many could have been avoided with a little bit of patience and safe driving habits.
Norton Police Chief Thad Hete didn't hesitate when asked what he thought drivers should do when the snow starts to fall.
"Slow down," he said. "We're asking people to slow down and be attentive. Even in these horrible driving conditions, we still see people on their cell phones and texting. More than anything, be attentive and drive for the conditions."
Hete also said drivers should allow plenty of time to get to their destination and always be aware that bridges freeze over faster than roadways do.
"Even though the road may look dry, there's a good chance it is not," Hete said.
He added that drivers should also give plenty of room to plow operators, and it's not a good idea to trail them.
"They have a very difficult job," Hete said. "Be very, very careful if you have to pass them on the highway."
ODOT's Don't Crowd the Plow campaign aims to educate drivers on safe driving when snowplow crews are working. As part of that, ODOT encourages drivers to give snowplows room to work. Because the plows are wide and can cross the centerline or shoulder, ODOT doesn't recommend tailgating or trying to pass plows. If you must pass, take extreme caution and beware of the snow cloud that can be created by plows.
ODOT officials also remind drivers that plows travel below the speed limit, so exercise patience when on the roads in snow.
Lt. Doug Smith, of the Patrol Division of the Summit County Sheriff's Office, said officers responded to 48 incidences of vehicle crashes, cars in ditches or disabled vehicles in a seven-hour period during the Dec. 26 snowstorm.
"That's a little higher than usual because it was the first major snow," he said.
Smith added that in cases of severe winter weather, the office might announce that there are one of two levels of snow emergency classifications. One is that only those who feel it is necessary to drive should be out on the roads, and the other is that all roadways are closed to nonemergency personnel, and no one should be driving unless it is absolutely necessary to travel or a personal emergency exists.
Also, Ohio Committee for Severe Weather Awareness (OCSWA) officials said Ohioans should know the different types of weather notifications used by the National Weather Service:
• Advisory: A less severe winter weather event that is imminent. Advisories highlight hazardous weather conditions that could lead to life-threatening situations if caution is not exercised and are usually issued six to 18 hours prior to the weather event.
• Watch: The potential exists for a significant or dangerous weather event. A watch is usually issued between 12 and 48 hours before a weather event.
• Warning: A significant or dangerous weather event that is imminent. Warnings are usually issued six to 18 hours prior to the weather event.
Those who must travel are urged to take a look at www.buckeyetraffic.org, an ODOT website that shows road conditions statewide.

This paper addresses the weighted anisotropic shortest-path problem on a continuous domain, i.e., the computation of a path between two points that minimizes the line integral of a cost-weighting function along the path. The cost-weighting depends both on the instantaneous position and direction of motion. We propose an algorithm for the computation of shortest-path that reduces the problem to an optimization over a finite graph. This algorithm restricts the search to paths formed by the concatenation of straight-line segments between points, from a suitably chosen discretization of the continuous region. To maximize efficiency, the discretization of the continuous region should not be uniform. We propose a novel "honeycomb" sampling algorithm that minimizes the cost penalty introduced by discretization. The resulting path is not optimal but the cost penalty can be made arbitrarily small at the expense of increased computation. This methodology is applied to the computation of paths for groups of unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) that minimize the risk of being destroyed by ground defenses. We show that this problem can be formulated as a weighted anisotropic shortest-path optimization and show that the algorithm proposed can efficiently produce low-risk paths.

Poem Title:
CLINKUM-CLANK in the rain they ride, Down by the braes and the grey sea-side; Clinkum-clank by stane and cairn, Weary fa' their horse-shoe-airn! Loud on the causey, saft on the sand, Round they rade by the tail of the land; Round and up by the Bour-Tree Den, Weary fa' the red-coat men! Aft hae I gane where they hae rade And straigled in the gowden brooms - Aft hae I gane, a saikless maid, And O! sae bonny as the bour-tree blooms! Wi' swords and guns they wanton there, Wi' red, red coats and braw, braw plumes. But I gaed wi' my gowden hair, And O! sae bonny as the bour-tree blooms! I ran, a little hempie lass, In the sand and the bent grass, Or took and kilted my small coats To play in the beached fisher-boats. I waded deep and I ran fast, I was as lean as a lugger's mast, I was as brown as a fisher's creel, And I liked my life unco weel. They blew a trumpet at the cross, Some forty men, both foot and horse. A'body cam to hear and see, And wha, among the rest, but me. My lips were saut wi' the saut air, My face was brown, my feet were bare The wind had ravelled my tautit hair, And I thought shame to be standing there. Ae man there in the thick of the throng Sat in his saddle, straight and strong. I looked at him and he at me, And he was a master-man to see. . . . And who is this yin? and who is yon That has the bonny lendings on? That sits and looks sae braw and crouse? . . . Mister Frank o' the Big House! I gaed my lane beside the sea; The wind it blew in bush and tree, The wind blew in bush and bent: Muckle I saw, and muckle kent! Between the beach and the sea-hill I sat my lane and grat my fill - I was sae clarty and hard and dark, And like the kye in the cow park! There fell a battle far in the north; The evil news gaed back and forth, And back and forth by brae and bent Hider and hunter cam and went: The hunter clattered horse-shoe-airn By causey-crest and hill-top cairn; The hider, in by shag and shench, Crept on his wame and little lench. The eastland wind blew shrill and snell, The stars arose, the gloaming fell, The firelight shone in window and door When Mr. Frank cam here to shore. He hirpled up by the links and the lane, And chappit laigh in the back-door-stane. My faither gaed, and up wi' his han'! . . . Is this Mr. Frank, or a beggarman? I have mistrysted sair, he said, But let me into fire and bed; Let me in, for auld lang syne, And give me a dram of the brandy wine. They hid him in the Bour-Tree Den, And I thought it strange to gang my lane; I thought it strange, I thought it sweet, To gang there on my naked feet. In the mirk night, when the boats were at sea, I passed the burn abune the knee; In the mirk night, when the folks were asleep, I had a tryst in the den to keep. Late and air', when the folks were asleep, I had a tryst, a tryst to keep, I had a lad that lippened to me, And bour-tree blossom is fair to see! O' the bour-tree leaves I busked his bed, The mune was siller, the dawn was red: Was nae man there but him and me - And bour-tree blossom is fair to see! Unco weather hae we been through: The mune glowered, and the wind blew, And the rain it rained on him and me, And bour-tree blossom is fair to see! Dwelling his lane but house or hauld, Aft he was wet and aft was cauld; I warmed him wi' my briest and knee - And bour-tree blossom is fair to see! There was nae voice of beast ae man, But the tree soughed and the burn ran, And we heard the ae voice of the sea: Bour-tree blossom is fair to see!

Installing this plugin on a test environment to play with it and try it on for size.
I've created a bunch of custom types and have gone in to try and give them cleaner permalinks. This seemed to work fine and I went through a few types and saw no problems, then I went to edit some content and as I save the updates I get sent to a Server Error page (500). I'm not able to save any edits, I've gone to the wp>settings>permalinks page to check on that and refresh the permalinks with no success. Now I'm trying to turn the CCTM urls field back to off and get the same response. I can't edit or add any new content of that type anymore. The others all seem fine still, but I'm not sure what could have happened. I even deleted the content type and recreated it only to get the same error.
Any ideas?

More Lyme 'Guidelines'
I noted with understanding that the Doubtful News can't take it anymore. The relentless tsunami sewage slurry of pseudo-science (who says I can't alliterate?) has worn her down. She is:
currently experiencing a phase in which I can't seem to bring myself to promote another ridiculous story in the media about a haunted location, scary sounds from the sky, or the latest outrage fueled by ancient superstition. You might call that… jaded. It's been over four years now of nearly daily effort to keep track of the weird world of woo. It can wear one down when virtually or literally the same thing appears and reappears over and over as if it hasn't already been passed around a million times.
I sympathize. I have had a touch of SCAM ennui of late. It is a bit due to the repetitiveness of the SCAMs. I still find the variations on the theme of pseudo-sciences curious. It is like infectious diseases where every case has unique and subtle diversity so no two SCAMs are the same. But there are almost 4,000 clinical trials on acupuncture and I would wager that they all have several of the same half-dozen fatal errors. It is like hand hygiene at work. We have known for, oh what, 160 years, that hand hygiene prevents the spread of disease but people still can't do it right. We know how to do a good clinical trial but the SCAMsters just can't seem to figure it out.
The ennui is not the seeming futility of the endeavor. I have always been comfortable with futility, secure, as an example, in the knowledge that someday I will be consumed by the bacteria I spent a career killing. Unless, of course, they get me cremated right away. I keep looking for a motto for the SfSBM; I am attracted to "Sisyphus had it easy." (more…)

How to Become an Ob Gyn
Three Parts:Setting the FoundationObtaining a Medical DoctorateFinalizing Your Training and Finding a JobCommunity Q&A
An OB/GYN physician, or obstetrician-gynecologist, specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of women's health issues. This specialization involves the reproductive system, fertility, and child birth. To become an OB/GYN requires at least 12 years of post-high school education. Here you will learn about the long and challenging road to becoming an OB/GYN, and about how to get your dream job in this field.
Part 1
Setting the Foundation
1Research an OB/GYN's roles and responsibilities. Many OB/GYN's will eventually specialize in either obstetrics or gynecology, but they are trained in both areas. Becoming an OB/GYN requires extensive knowledge of women's reproductive organs and all stages of pregnancy. Before deciding to become an OB/GYN, ask yourself if you are interested in spending years learning about and eventually providing procedures such as:
- Cervical exams
- Pap smears
- Fertility testing
- Uterine surgery
- Child delivery
- Abortion
- STI / STD screening
2Plan for university or college. If you decide on becoming an OB/GYN while still in high school, take upper-level science and math courses, as this will help you later on. Work hard to obtain the high grades necessary to attend the university or college of your choice. Research the reputations of pre-med programs and available scholarship opportunities. Start preparing your university or college applications early so they are polished and stand out.
- If you pursue college or university in the United States, start studying for the SAT test right away. An excellent SAT score is necessary for admission to prestigious universities and colleges.
- Consider getting involved in extra-curricular activities at your high school, and volunteering in your community, preferably at a hospital or clinic. The best universities and colleges prefer well-rounded applicants who give back to their communities.
3Enroll in a pre-med program. A pre-med program is not a degree; it is an educational trajectory that will help you get into medical school. Pre-med entails coursework in fields such as biology, organic chemistry, and statistics. These courses will satisfy medical school prerequisites, and help you prepare for the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). [1]
- Although pre-med is not a requirement for entry into medical school, it will give you a big advantage over the competition.
- Many pre-med programs offer work or volunteer opportunities at hospitals and clinics. Consider pursuing such opportunities because they can enhance your application to medical school, and affirm that an OB/GYN career is truly what you want.
- Keep your GPA at 3.5 or above as an undergraduate, as this will significantly improve your chances of getting into medical school. [2]
- You should complete a four year undergraduate degree program, and preferably an honors degree.
Part 2
Obtaining a Medical Doctorate
1Take the MCAT. This test is a mandatory requirement for most medical schools in North America and many schools internationally. It will require months of studying and preparation; don't try to "cram" close to the deadline. The test is comprised of multiple choice questions pertaining to the physical sciences, biological sciences, and verbal reasoning. The MCAT is held in designated testing locations with varied schedules and seating capacity, so be sure to register in advance.[3]
- If unsatisfied with your grade, you can retake the MCAT. But medical schools can see how many attempts you have made, and multiple failed attempts will weaken your application. [4]
- Each time you take the MCAT costs money, generally around 300 dollars.[5]
- If you want to become an OB/GYN outside North America, research the medical school examination requirements in your home country.
2Apply to medical school with a good reputation in OB/GYN. Choosing a medical school can be difficult due to factors such as tuition cost, location, and reputation. But try to get into a school that is known for OB/GYN and women's health. This will result in desirable professional connections and potentially greater employment opportunities down the road.
- Do online research to see which medical schools have the best rankings in the area of OB/GYN. U.S. News and World Report has one of the most comprehensive rankings for American schools.[6]
- Consider contacting OB/GYN physicians for advice on where to apply.
3Complete your Medical Doctorate. In general, a medical doctorate takes four years to complete. The first two years entails coursework on a range of medical issues. In the final two years of the degree, you will complete a series of medical rotations, working with patients under the direction of licensed physicians in many fields, such as OB/GYN.
- It is particularly important to obtain strong grades in the OB/GYN rotation if you plan to pursue this specialization.
- Be sure to complete at least one sub-internship in the field prior to graduation.
Part 3
Finalizing Your Training and Finding a Job
1Complete a residency in OB/GYN. In general, a residency program is four years in length, and entails hands-on experience in gynecology, obstetrics, and benign gynecological surgery. During a residency, you will care for patients under the supervision of more senior physicians, and will earn a relatively low salary (often in the $45,000 dollar range).[7]However, at this phase of OB/GYN training, you will have the rewarding experience of doing everything from helping women through difficult pregnancies, to performing surgeries that will greatly improve lives.
- Consider your residency options carefully, as programs vary greatly.
- Conduct research into the reputation and stability of residency programs, the support available from peers and superiors, whether schedules are flexible or on-call hours, and opportunities for advancement.
- The Residency Navigator is an excellent tool for learning about residency programs. Visit: https://residency.doximity.com/ [8]
2Obtain a licence. Following a successful residency, the next step is to apply for a licence to practice medicine. Although the licensing process varies between states and countries, all jurisdictions require a medical licensing examination. In the U.S., it is called the United States Medical Licensing Examination.
3Gain certification. After becoming licensed physicians, many OB/GYN's pursue certification by a professional governing body. Applicants must submit proof of experience and pass an additional written and an oral exam. In the U.S., certification is issued by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology.[9]
4Consider a fellowship and further specialization. Following licensing and certification, some OB/GYNs pursue three-year fellowships at teaching hospitals that allow them to specialize and conduct research in areas such as maternal-fetal medicine, pediatric and adolescent gynecology, and gynecologic ontology, reproductive endocrinology.
- Pursuing such specializations can double your annual salary.
- For example, gynecologic oncologists generally make well over $400,000 a year, while general OB/GYNs typically earn over $200,000 a year.[10]
5Consider where you want to work. OB/GYNs can work in a variety of settings. Some join or establish private practices or women's clinics. Others work primarily out of hospitals. Some OB/GYNs focus on obstetrics and child-birth, others emphasize gynecology. A smaller number of OB/GYNs join academic medical schools as full-time faculty members with administrative, teaching and research responsibilities. [11]. The options for OB/GYNs are numerous; choose an employment direction that is in keeping with your personality, goals, and interests.
- While obstetrics can be stressful because it entails late-night phone calls and sudden deliveries, many OB/GYNs love being part of the emotionally charged process of child-birth.
- A rewarding aspect of gynecology is greater opportunities for surgical research.
- While the process of becoming an OB/GYN is long and difficult, once trained and licensed the job prospects are excellent; there is extremely high demand for OB/GYNs now, and this demand is only projected to grow in the future.[12]
6Find employment. The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists maintains excellent online resources for job-seekers. At http://www.acog.org/, you can browse for jobs by specialization, location, keyword, and other filters.[13] This website also has many articles regarding how to prepare an OB/GYN resume, tips for job interviews, and the pros and cons of working in different cities and regions.[14]
Community Q&A
How many years of school (after high school) do I have to do?wikiHow ContributorIt will take about 12 years before you can become an OB/GYN. It will take 4 years for a bachelor's degree, then another 4 years for a medical degree. You should also do a 4-year residency. This brings your education to a total of 12 years.
How long does it take to become a licensed OB/GYN?
How can I pursue medical careers after 12th class/grade?
- Medical schools are often extremely expensive; research schools that offer financial aid, as well as government programs that provide loan forgiveness.
- Job prospects for OB/GYN's willing to practice in rural and low-income areas are especially good. [15]
- OB/GYN malpractice insurance premiums are among the highest for physicians, and can cost tens of thousands of dollars a year. [16]
- In 2012, over 75% of OB/GYN's surveyed by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said they had been named in a malpractice suit during their careers. [17]

I had a WindowsXP and Ubuntu 9.04 installed side by side on my single 80GB harddrive. Recently I bought a new 500GB harddrive, cloned Windows partition using Ubuntu's dd, then reinstalled Ubuntu 10.4 on the new disk. New disk is now connected as master, with the old disk as slave. But... I can't boot Windows now at all, neither from old nor from new disk. After choosing Windows in GRUB2, I get a blank text screen with cursor in the home spot.
Windows had 15GB partition at the beginning of the old disk, starting in sector 63. Now I gave it ~17GB (to make sure its filesystem will fit, as I didn't have much time guessing how much exactly the old partition had. The new Windows partition starts in sector 2048.
Both old and new Windows partitions are bit-for-bit identical, checked using
Other than that, I see no obvious differences in setup.
Any ideas how to make it work again? This is a little bit urgent, because my sister badly needs to play The Sims ;-)

Amazonia (Mass Market Paperbound)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
The Rand scientific expedition entered the lush wilderness of the Amazon and never returned. Years later, one of its members has stumbled out of the world's most inhospitable rainforest a former Special Forces soldier, scarred, mutilated, terrified, and mere hours from death, who went in with one arm missing . . . and came out with both intact. Unable to comprehend this inexplicable event, the government sends Nathan Rand into this impenetrable secret world of undreamed-of perils to follow the trail of his vanished father . . . toward mysteries that must be solved at any cost. But the nightmare that is awaiting Nate and his team of scientists and seasoned U.S. Rangers dwarfs any danger they anticipated . . . an ancient, unspoken terror a power beyond human imagining that can forever alter the world beyond the dark, lethal confines of Amazonia.

Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
Filler for foreign interests.
This collection of cuties from the former communist bloc should appeal to those who like to cut straight to the sex, with no wrap-around story.
But in this case it's a hit-and-miss affair. The first scene seems by the numbers until the stud pokes his honey in the heinie. The camera for the third scene lingers on close-ups of pussy penetration, turning prurient interest into boredom, even for this pervert, and in the final scene, a b/g/b, the double vaginal penetration looks formulaic and without enthusiasm from a girl getting a double dose of dick.
What works is the fourth scene, the strongest on the tape, with an eager Euro-babe who sucks, fucks and is very vocal about her vocation, as well as the anal action in the first two scenes.
A satisfactory fuck fest for those who don't dig dialogue.

I have 2 bars, both with lager kegs. One is gassed with co2 and the other is with mixed 60/40. Can I use a half used keg from one bar in the other, ie mixing the gasses in the keg or do I need to de gas it?
Yes, you can do that although you may encounter some problems. The beer gas (60/40) is likely at a higher pressure, so hooking a conventionally carbonated keg may (repeat, MAY) cause it to dispense with too much pressure and cause excessive foaming. That might require reducing the serving pressure by adjusting the beer gas regulator. OTOH, it may not be a problem. I say try it and adjust accordingly if you have to.
