im excited to find out the ending!
Great story!
It was quite amusing, although I must say, I didn't quite imagine Lily Evans to be in a furious state with James. After all, in the book she was known to describe him as an "Arrogant toerag" as well as telling him off for bullying Snape. What I envision is a Lily with the ability to accept James as a friend (and perhaps more, as time proceeds and he matures) yet with a slight temper for his arrogance.
In addition, there were some grammar mistakes, but nevertheless, you have a great story and it was amusing to see how Lily reacted (even more- James when he thought she accepted!) :)
Oh gosh. Remus is NOT going to escape this without some sort of major injury. Keep writing! Update soon! :D

AMMAN King Abdullah is seeking to appease Jordan's powerful tribes by naming a conservative former army general as prime minister but he will need to appeal to a wider base to maintain stability and deflect regional turmoil.
Facing widespread protests inspired by uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt, Abdullah sacked his government and appointed Marouf Bakhit as prime minister Tuesday, angering the main Islamist opposition who said Bakhit oversaw flawed 2007 elections.
Analysts said the decision reflected a traditional priority of the Hashemite royal family to placate "East Bank" Jordanians, the country's original inhabitants who dominate the political establishment, over the interests of Palestinian communities.
The stability of Jordan is vital for Israel, which has a peace treaty and close security cooperation with its eastern neighbor. British-educated King Abdullah is a key political and military partner of the West.
Palestinians and Jordanians of Palestinian origin make up a majority of the 7 million population.
East Bankers, who have enjoyed a generally higher level of state jobs and subsidies, were alarmed by the threat to their benefits from a sharp economic slowdown and from economic liberalization promoted by former Prime Minister Samir Rifai.
Protests across Jordan went ahead despite a rushed package of government aid worth $500 million that focused on raising civil servants' salaries and reversing a decision to freeze state hiring. Protesters called for Rifai's dismissal, although no direct criticism was addressed to the palace.
"The king, by appointing Bakhit, is seeking to calm an influential constituency that defines its interests within the traditional state bureaucracy and feels threatened by excessive free market policies," said Mohammad Masri, political analyst at Jordan's Center for Strategic Studies.
"However the coming days will show if this strategy is able to contain demands of civil and political society for wider political reforms."
Unlike the mass demonstrations in Tunisia and Egypt, where hundreds of thousands of protesters took to the streets demanding the overthrow of the head of state, the rallies in Jordan have not yet targeted Abdullah so far.
Jordanian monarchs have often defused tension in times of crisis by dismissing the cabinet -- Abdullah's father King Hussein changed prime minister 45 times in his 47-year reign -- though it might be risky to assume the move will always work.
"The monarchy is immune for the time being, but this is not an eternal condition," said Mustafa Hamarneh, political analyst and board chairman of al-Sijil magazine.
"I don't think (Bakhit) is the kind of politician who will institute political change, the kind of change that the country needs badly now," Hamarneh said.
The dismissal of Rifai marked the latest standoff between Abdullah and an establishment that has long resisted changes to a tribally structured society, fearing it could give Jordanians of Palestinian origin more influence and reduce East Bankers' access to government funds.
A leaked U.S. diplomatic cable published by WikiLeaks this week highlighted the scale of that spending, saying 83 percent of Jordan's $7.71 billion budget last year went toward a "bloated civil service and military patronage system."
Rifai's embrace of private enterprise raised fears he would erode the state's economic role, voiced in the protests in rural East Bank strongholds such as the cities of Karak and Maan.
Jordan's Islamists, the country's biggest political group, are concentrated mainly in Amman and its urban surroundings and have taken a back seat in protests outside the capital.
The Islamic Action Front (IAF), which dismissed Bakhit's appointment as an inadequate step, says it will continue weekly protests which have drawn a few thousand demonstrators in Amman after Friday prayers, saying the protests had broader aims.
"The issue is not about the personality of Rifai. It's about changing the way governments are formed and moving to elected governments that are truly representative," said Sheikh Hamza Mansour, head of the IAF.
Bakhit, a former military intelligence general, served as prime minister from 2005 to 2007, overseeing parliamentary elections which were widely seen as marred by vote-rigging.
Analysts say he is known for his anti-business views and will for now likely reassure public sector employees that their interests will be preserved.
Bakhit's aides say his cabinet will not include figures drawn from the private sector, derided by their opponents as the "digitals" in previous liberal administrations and whom Rifai also came to symbolize.
But an economic policy driven by political expediency will only worsen the country's ability to fight a recession.
Although the authorities managed to cut a $2 billion record budget deficit in 2009 by nearly a third last year, a reversal of austerity measures taken in the wake of protests will strain state finances long kept afloat by aid and remittances.
At least $1.4 billion is already set aside for subsidies, from barley for cattle owners to electricity and water in rural areas. Many Jordanians who have protested in recent weeks will be hoping Bakhit keeps those subsidies intact.
"The issue in Jordan is not about regime change -- it's about changing the behavior of the regime. People still trust the king has more to give people," said Sami Zubaidi, a leading columnist and editor of ammanpost.net, a news website.
"The tribal structure of the kingdom does not allow for a alternative regime than this one. The throne still has the trust of Jordanians," Zubaidi added.

Little Jack's video message of support to fellow battler suffering from kidney disorder
- From: Gold Coast Bulletin
- March 07, 2013
A MESSAGE of hope from a little boy on the Gold Coast has turned into an international media sensation.
Jack Scoble is a five-year-old kidney transplant survivor with long scar on his tummy to prove it.
Two years ago he was rushed to hospital where his horrified family was told he was dying from unexplained heart and kidney failure.
The Pacific Pines tot was in an induced coma for weeks and when he woke, he had to suffer through 13 hours of dialysis each day for a full year until he received an adult kidney donation.
Today Jack is a bright-eyed, bouncing survivor who loves Pixar films and Matchbox cars.
Earlier this week he and parents Darryl and Lizzie Scoble found a Facebook appeal page seeking a kidney donor for British boy, Matthew Pietrzyk.
The seven-year-old from Leicester is suffering from a rare genetic disorder that has destroyed both his kidneys and is pictured online with a sign reading: "Share your spare". Jack's reaction was immediate.
"He wanted to call him on the phone right away and encourage him. We had to try and explain he lived in a different country and we didn't have his number," mum Lizzie Scoble said.
Instead, the family made a short video and posted it to Matthew's Facebook page to offer support.
"I want to tell you to hang in there, buddy," Jack says in the video. "I got my new kidney after a whole year and even though I'm little, I remember how hard it was living on the machine and having injections every day until my new kidney came."
In the UK, the Leicester Mercury reported that the video message had given the Pietrzyk family hope.
"It just overwhelmed me and was so heartwarming," Matthew's mother said.

I'm looking for desktop admin tool similar to phpPgAdmin for POstgreSQL in Mac os X . Any recomendation?
PgAdmin is a good admin tool, and works with Mac OS X. PhpPgAdmin should also work on OS X, although you'd need to install and set up PHP, which I can offer no advice on.
PgAdmin on Mac OS X is not the same as other OSs.
For example, you can't just paste text in SQL Query Editor, it gets broken and you have to paste in scratch pad first, then copy & paste in editor. Although for administer database, tables, indexes, I still use it.
I prefer create tables, indexes and so on by commands, so I prefer Aqua Data Studio. I have tried others, but none of them satisfied me. Although Aqua is expensive, it has a student "mode" that you can try for a while, or if you are one, use as you need. Version 4.7 does not limit the time you use.
It shows databases, table structures, indexes and so on, but the really good part, to me, is the editor. When you use it, and know how to work properly, the shortcuts and "extras" are very helpful. Just make a query and hit Apple + R to export a nice XLS report. Select table name and hit Apple + D and it shows the table structure right on results panel. Type
Also, it has a nice import/export tool. If you receive a file which contains data you need to import and work on it, you can parse it (from CSV, XLS, SQL file or other types) and populate an existing table and even create a new table to suit the new data.
Although it has a little bug (as related here: http://serverfault.com/questions/226736/postgresql-jdbc-parse-too-slow-on-first-query), it works really fine. And can connect to other databases as well.
Still in its alpha version but http://inductionapp.com/ seems like a good option as well

Yes!!! That Hanson of "MmmBop" fame. Owl City has ingeniously tapped the brother act for their latest single. Clearly, the Adam Young-fronted electronica act has a knack for picking the right collaborators. Owl City scored its biggest hit when teamed up with Carly Rae Jepsen for "Good Time."
"Unbelievable" is the latest taste off Owl City's forthcoming album, Mobile Orchestra. For the animated clip, director Ryan Maloney has wisely gone for a 90s vibe. Definitely fitting since Hanson broke out in a huge way during that decade.
Check out the awesomely nostalgic video below, highlighting all things 90s including Nintendo, The Lion King, Jurassic Park, SpaghettiOs, and more.
With Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt in London that past little while, the rumors were already circulating that they'd be in this new season of Celebrity Big Brother in the UK. Now, with the official cast revealed, the rumors turned out to be true and it looks like it's going to be one hell of a season.
The new season debuted on Thursday on Channel 5 in the UK and nearly 3.5 million people tuned in, down from 5.1 million who watched in 2011. I so wish we were able to watch Celebrity Big Brother here in North America. I wouldn't mind seeing how Speidi fairs in their return to Reality TV and I also wouldn't mind seeing Sam Robertson, the hot model/actor in the house, wearing as little as possible. The series is expected to last three weeks, with the first eviction due on Wednesday.
Without further delay, check out the new cast of Celebrity Big Brother below.

I'm skinning the admin section of my blog and have written a plugin to point to my keen new stylesheet. Because this is based on the Kubrick theme, the buttons and section separators in write and edit post are Kubrick-blue. That's because they use a background image specified in the stylesheet.
So, cool that WP looks at my new stylesheet. Question: How do I specify a plugin-directory-relative url for an image. Example:
background: #7abf00 url(images/box-head-right.gif) no-repeat top right;
This is right out of the stylesheet and presumes that images is relative to wp-admin. I don't really know where the plugin will live. How are people solving this problem?

This master bath has been transformed from what was once a bathroom and laundry combination to a beautiful Master bathroom with 2 closets and custom shower with glass enclosure, wainscoting.
Available third floor attic space at this client's home was made into a beautiful new bathroom. The end result was a full bath, complete with soaking tub, double bowl vanity, custom shower, and a full laundry room.
This client's bathroom was outdated and drab, and didn't serve the family's needs. We installed custom cabinetry, marble countertops, and a crystal sink which is illuminated from inside the sink base with rope lighting.
"We absolutely trust Mark's insight, workmanship, and approach to every job. He's built a fantastic new deck for us and most recently modified our garage to correct a problem we had with a too-short stall on one side. Now, thanks to Mark's hard work and creativity, I can now park my new, longer car in the garage rather than have it sit outside in the harsh New England winters. We will always look to Mark for projects on our house because he does a great job, on time and on budget . . . Every time."

One may divide the enlargements of the thyroid due to disturbance of function into two groups:
Thyroid insufficiencies:
Simple goiter (endemic, epidemic, sporadic).
Infatile (cretinism).
Adult (Gull's disease).
Exophthalmic goiter: Graves' disease. Hyperthyroidism. Thyrotoxicosis.
There is no essential relationship between the two groups, as is shown by the fact that the lower animals are as susceptible to simple goiter as man, and simple goiter can be readily produced experimentally in both man and animals; while exophthalmic goiter does not occur in the lower animals and it has not been produced experimentally.
Simple goiter is the manifestation of a deficiency disease depending on a relative or absolute deficiency of iodine, while exophthalmic goiter seems to be primarily a disease of the nervous system and more particularly of the visceral nervous system.
Simple goiter includes those enlargements of the thyroid gland in man and animals which were formerly designated endemic, epidemic, sporadic, physiologic,

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Two University of Florida athletes were suspended indefinitely Tuesday following their arrests for reportedly buying marijuana from a police informant.
According to police reports obtained by newspapers in Gainesville and Tampa, tailback Brandon James and reserve basketball guard Brandon Powell were arrested by Gainesville police during a reverse sting. Neither athlete has been charged.
According to the report obtained by the Tampa Tribune, Powell arranged a meeting with the informant by telephone. Powell and James then met the informant and purchased .8 grams of marijuana for $20, according to details in the report. The sale was recorded on video and audio, the Tribune reported.
James dropped the marijuana when approached by police, the report stated, according to the Tribune.
"We are aware of the situation and understand the severity of its nature," Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley said in a statement Tuesday. "This is not something we take lightly. Both coaches [football's Urban Meyer and basketball's Billy Donovan] have informed me that the players involved have been suspended indefinitely and we will continue to follow the procedures in addressing this."
James, a sophomore, is considered the Gators' top kick returner. He averaged 11 yards per punt return and 18 yards on kickoff returns as a freshman.
Powell averaged four minutes and 1.6 points a game as a freshman during Florida's second straight national championship season. Powell also was in the news in February for allegedly throwing a punch as Vanderbilt celebrated on its home court following an 83-70 victory over the Gators.
Powell was considered one of the better perimeter defenders on Donovan's 2006-07 team, but his status on the depth chart will be challenged by the arrival of guards Nick Calathes and Jai Lucas and returning guard Walter Hodge.
Information from ESPN.com senior writer Andy Katz was used in this report.

We're actually planning a really complex web application. At least for my own standards. In the past we have always been using a combination of a server side MVC Framework (Codeigniter) and client side functionality (jQuery and plugins). We have simply written inline javascript code in our views. This worked as expected, but of course with several disadvantages:
- no caching
- duplicated js code
- maintainability issues
- ...
My main goal now is to organize the client side code in an efficient and easily maintainable way. But I want to stay with the server side MVC because of the existing know how and some existing interfaces. Furthermore I want to reduce complex DOM manipulation with jQuery and "spaghetti code".
Now I thought about a combination of Backbone.js and Require.js but I really can't find a tutorial or any solid description about how to combine them with a server side MVC. Is it even recommended?
In my old apps I got a file structure like this:
- application (CodeIgniter)
- assets
- js
- css
- imgs
Are there any ideas or best practices?
Thank you!

You will have to enable the "Full Screen" Background Layout option to use any transition effects.
I have 'Full Screen' selected and am not seeing any slideshow settings.
Also, the 'Image selection order' setting seems to be hardset to 'Random' (no other options are displayed).
The "Image Selection" will default to "Random" in case you have set "Select an Image" to either "At each browser session" or "On a page reload", because it does not track which image has been displayed.
After selecting the "Full Screen" option, you should see the "Background Transitioning Effect" area, which allows you to select a slider or other transition effect, including its speed.
That worked, thank you.
Regarding the image selection and transition order, is it possible for the initial image to be random, but then transition in sequential order? For example, if you have 4 images, it could load image #2 by random selection, the slideshow would then go in order to #3 > #4 > #1 etc. This way there could be a different stating image each time, but also the entire set would display before there is a repeat.
The closest to that, is when you choose the "Select an image ... every X seconds", and then select the "Remember last displayed image" option. However, it does not display it in sequence afterwards, no.

In his quest to lift Leominster High to the top of Central Mass. hockey, coach Chris Kyne knows the Blue Devils need a signature victory.
Leominster had that chance Wednesday night, going against second-ranked Shrewsbury High at Wallace Civic Center. And early on, it appeared Kyne might get his wish as the Blue Devils built a two-goal lead.
But three goals by Dan Quinlivan and some solid special-teams play helped the Colonials battle back for a 6-3 victory.
Shrewsbury (5-1-1) scored three times in the second period and added three goals in the third to pull away from pesky Leominster (3-3).
"We get down, 2-0, and we're all shaking our heads because we were looking strong in the offensive end but couldn't score," Colonials coach Steve Turnblom said. "It wasn't for a lack of effort. We knew Leominster would play us tough and was chippy. We felt we would get some chances on the power play, and we were able to convert some of those chances."
Leominster was called for six penalties, and Shrewsbury scored on three power plays.
Two goals by Cam Cordio over the first two periods had Leominster in front, 2-0. But midway through the middle period, Shrewsbury stormed back. Jack Quinlivan scored a short-handed goal at 5:45, and Derek Dell'Olio followed six minutes later with a power-play blast to tie it, 2-2.
With less than two minutes left in the period, and Shrewsbury again on the power play, Dan Quinlivan rifled a shot past Leominster goalie Logan Bergeron (41 saves) to send the Colonials into the second intermission with the lead.
"Puck movement is key on the power play," Dan Quinlivan said. "When our defensemen can move the puck, that helps so much. It allows us to break it out and get more shots from the point and cause some traffic in front of the net where we can knock in rebounds."
Just 39 seconds into the final period, and again on the man advantage, Dan Quinlivan poked in a rebound to put Shrewsbury ahead, 4-2. Cam Moran got one back for Leominster at 9:31 before Quinlivan completed his hat trick, restoring the Colonials' two-goal margin.
Dave Belbin added an empty-net goal in the closing seconds.
"Against a good team, you can't take bad penalties like we did," Kyne said. "When you give good teams a second chance, they're going to capitalize. For some reason, we don't put together complete efforts against teams like Shrewsbury. We're knocking on the door, but we aren't there yet."

To use a 70s word, groovy. Vivid colours set this hotel apart from the generic and each room is themed slightly differently for a personalised, customised feel hence the 'conceptual home' label. Strong local design aesthetic with modern flair. Only 8 rooms on 3 floors, and a little lap pool which looks very inviting for a midnight dip. Very romantic garden atmosphere.
At times, room service could be a little slow, but then this is northern Thailand, and you've gotta go with the flow.
Unique Qualities: Rooms quite small but well appointed, ie, dvd players and cd sound systems. Quiet and tucked away. New Morrocan-themed bar downstairs aims to be the coolest place for locals to hang out in, with dj spinning lounge-chill music.
Best thing is it's within an easy stroll of Nimm Road's hundreds of coffee shops, cafes, galleries, and almost adjacent the Monkey Club.
Address: 37 Soi 9 Nimmanhaeminda Rd., T.Suthep, A. Muang, Chiang Mai, 50100, Thailand
Price Comparison: about average
Directions: Off NImminheimin Road, turn down Soi 9 and follow it nearly till end.

Standard Room at Ping Buri
Although they've renovated the lobby, there is nothing fancy about Ping Buri, but it just feels comfortable and homely to me. This is my second stay here, this time for one whole month!
It's clean, comfortable, with a languid tropical Thai feel to it. No fuss, no bother. The only downside for the infrequent Thai-language traveller is the staff are mostly not conversant in English, although one or two are slightly. All are of course charming to a fault.
Even basic rooms are large, and rooms have nice quiet airconditioners. Breakfast is included in the deal, with choice of American, Thai, continental, etc. Sometimes local groups will break into karaoke around dinner time, so you might want to make urgent plans elsewhere!
Unique Qualities: Nice terracotta tiles, frangipani-laden courtyards and local decor and furniture lend a wonderful tropical Thai feel to the place.
Internet available in lobby (speed OK) for 2 baht/minute.
An interesting un-touristy neighbourhood. Just 300m around the corner gets you to the western side starting point of Sunday walking street. Front looks onto the historic moat.
Address: 49/7-8 Arak Road, Amphur Muang, CM, 50200.
Price Comparison: less expensive than average

Firefox has a few different settings that automatically get tuned based on the system ram. This is all great if you're running nothing besides Firefox, but when you're running half a dozen apps at the same time and they all assume that they can take a decent chunk of mem it just kills the box.
Example settings:
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.memory.capacity
How can I make Firefox automatically configure all these settings with the assumption that I only have 512MB of memory instead of 4GB (or whatever number, but you get the idea).
I am running Ubuntu 12.04 with Firefox 14
Current workarounds:
Running a Windows XP virtual machine with 512MB of ram.
It actually runs smooth and takes less memory (including Windows) to run than having Firefox (or Chrome for that matter) run standalone.
Install the 32 bit version of Firefox
By installing the 32 bit version of firefox (
apt-get install firefox:i386) the base memory usage is only about 50% of what it is with the 64 bit.

Ares Capital (ARCC) is downgraded to Hold at JPMorgan. No details are yet available, but it's...
Ares Capital (ARCC) is downgraded to Hold at JPMorgan. No details are yet available, but it's likely a valuation call. A nice run has the shares trading 13.8% higher than the NAV (as of Sept. 30) of $15.74. There may be better values in the BDC sector.

Near 52 week high, still pays a 9% dividend in my IRA.
The dividend was increased from 37 cents to 43 cents last year.
This call by JPMorgan is some analyst deciding to do something instead of nothing.
Earnings report next month probably will render this proclamation stupid.
Stock NAV in February might justify current price.
Most of the Banks and Analysts usually have a hidden agenda.
Most downgrades involving stocks that have behaved like ARCC, are a result of analysts wanting to recommend the stock but are afraid of valuation due to the runup. Accordingly, they hope to "knock" down the value a few clicks to then change their recommendation to a "buy". Sometimes it actually works. Most times it doesn't, but if the stock gets hit a little, add to it.

Visscher Redrawn: 1616-2016
- 20 February — 20 November 2016 *on now
Claes Jansz. Visscher's 1616 engraving is one of the most iconic images of medieval London
a low-rise cityscape dominated by the spires and steeples of its churches. Four hundred years on, artist Robin Reynolds has recreated the 6.6ft panorama to depict the brilliant architecture of today's metropolis.
Published in the year of Shakespeare's death, Visscher's engraving is one of the few visual records of London before much of it was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666. To commemorate the landmark anniversaries of 350 years since the Fire and 400 years since Shakespeare's death, the two artworks will be displayed side-by-side at Guildhall Art Gallery.

Unseen City: Photos by Martin Parr
- 4 March — 31 July 2016 *on now
View the City of London through the lens of acclaimed Magnum photographer Martin Parr. Explore the pomp, ceremony and behind-the-scenes activity as Parr brings the City to life, capturing the traditions and people who make up the colourful Square Mile.
Martin Parr has been the City of London's photographer-in-residence since 2013. Over the years, he has documented the life of the City, across three mayoralties. During this time, Parr has been granted unprecedented access to high-profile occasions where guests have included Her Majesty The Queen and dignitaries. The resulting images offer a new perspective on the City of London and create a significant documentary record of its colour and character for years to come.
Through Parr's playful eye for detail and visual dynamism, visitors will gain access to the world of private ceremonies, ancient and modern traditions, processions, banquets, public occasions and informal behind-the-scenes shots. Parr offers a human perspective on ceremony and those moments unseen to the general public, capturing the unguarded moments that would otherwise go unnoticed.

Victorians Decoded: Art and Telegraphy ?
- 20 September 2016 — 22 January 2017
Explore the impact of telegraphy on the artistic imagination and wider social consciousness in the 19th century.
150 years ago, communication was revolutionised. The successful laying of cable along the floor of the Atlantic ocean meant that exchanges that would have taken weeks by ship, were possible within a single day.
This groundbreaking technology captivated Victorian society and how it conceived of itself in time and space. Artists responded in visual terms to the newly connected world, the hostile landscape, changed perceptions of distance, and the idea of sending/receiving messages, coding and decoding.
'Victorians Decoded: Art and Telegraphy' looks at the impact of telegraphy on the artistic imagination and wider social consciousness and features Victorian paintings, scientific apparatus and the personal notes and papers of telegraph pioneer Sir Charles Wheatstone.

Research Institution:
AbstractElectronic digital circuit boards are composites of organic or inorganic materials with external and internal wiring designed to electrically interconnect and mechanically support all of the components and dissipate heat. Digital electronic circuit failure is ultimately a material failure at either the board, interconnect or component level. VEXTEC proposes to extend JSF prognosis to digital electronics using a physics of failure and material microstructural modeling approach. This project will consider digital circuit failure due to lead-free solder fatigue, board delamination, and individual component failure. The proposed project will develop an innovative, diagnostic/prognostic life prediction methodology for JSF application using currently planned onboard sensed data as modeling input. Phase I will show concept feasibility through a remote input output (RIO) circuit board prognosis demonstration. This system represents an excellent example for the prognosis need given there are ten RIOs at various locations on the JSF aircraft. These ten RIO's represent a system of like components exposed to different environments within the aircraft. Also sensors are currently available to measure temperatures and vibration at each of the ten locations.

Learn more about BMI
Underweight =< 18.5
If you have a genetic predisposition to leanness, or if you are a competitive endurance athlete and you are a healthy individual, a BMI in this range may be appropriate. However, intentional weight loss to reach this range if it's not your norm is not advised as it places you at risk for malnutrition.
Normal - Healthy weight for most adults = 18.5 - 24.9
According to medical experts, your weight falls into the healthy range, which represents the lowest level of risk for heart disease, diabetes and hypertension. To further reduce your risk, focus on healthy eating with a menu that is low in saturated fat and rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains, as well as staying active for life.
Overweight = 25 - 29.9
Assuming you do not have extra muscle mass or a large skeletal frame your weight falls into the overweight range. This means you have a slightly increased risk for health problems like heart disease, diabetes and hypertension. The good news is that through healthy eating and regular physical activity, you may be able to reduce both your weight and lower your disease risk.
Very Overweight => 30
Your weight falls into the very overweight category. This increases your risk for heart disease, diabetes and hypertension. The good news is that by losing as little as 5-10% of your current weight, you may be able to reduce your risk for some of these conditions or bring them into better control if you have them. A combination of healthy eating, an active lifestyle, and one-on-one support may help you reach a personally realistic goal.

The Indonesian government plans to announce an increase in gasoline and diesel prices late Friday, and the new prices are expected to go into effect from midnight despite protests across the archipelago.
The office of the coordinating minister for the economy said the announcement will be made at 10 p.m.
The government plans to raise the price of low-octane gasoline by 2,000 rupiah (around $20 cents) to 6,500 rupiah per liter and the price of diesel fuel by 1,000 rupiah to 5,500 rupiah per liter.
"This is a bitter option, but we must take it," President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono posted on his Twitter account.
The decision to raise fuel prices was made after the House of Representatives approved the 2013 revised budget, under which the government will cut the fuel price subsidy from 209.92 trillion rupiah to 199.85 trillion rupiah this year.
Yudhoyono stressed that if the subsidy is not cut, the state's burden will be heavier.
"The fuel price subsidy is aimed at saving the economy, so the state money can be used to help the poor and build infrastructure," he said.
In return for the fuel subsidy cuts, low-income households will receive compensation that includes cash aid and rice for the poor and assistance for underprivileged schoolchildren.
Under the direct cash aid scheme, each of the 15.5 million low-income households will receive 150,000 rupiah per month for a period of four months, starting immediately when the cuts go into effect.
Long lines of vehicles were seen in all gasoline stations in the capital from Friday afternoon following reports that prices would be hiked from midnight.
In Jakarta alone, police have deployed almost 19,000 officers, with each gas station being guarded by two or three personnel.
Uncertainties over the fuel price hike sent the rupiah to its lowest point since 2009. It was trading at 9,960 to the U.S. dollar Friday, weakening from 9,927 Thursday. Banks, however, were selling the greenback at more than 10,000 rupiah.

I don't want my laptop or mobile to just dictate/type down what I say, but instead write what the caller on the other end of the line says. Why doesn't Google or Nuance enable that functionality? Is it even possible? What would be needed for that to work?
migrated from programmers.stackexchange.com Jul 29 '11 at 13:31
This question came from our site for professional programmers interested in conceptual questions about software development.
When you are speaking your voice is being recorded through your computer's microphone and audio hardware. This audio signal is available to any applications on your computer. When you are speaking to someone over Skype the voice signal is encoded in a bunch of packets. You would need to reverse engineer Skype's protocol in order to decode the voice signal.
If you're talking on a cell phone in speakerphone mode the quality might not be good enough for voice recognition. Also the voice recognition software would need to be trained on both your voice and the other person's.
I'm not sure what relevance Google has here.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking (unlike Google) needs to be trained before being able to transcribe speech into words.
Google does speech to text transcriptions for the caller on the other end of the line when someone leaves a message on your autoresponder on Google voice.
Note that the voice quality is often altered quite heavily during a call, which makes voice recognition even harder.

Toyota Prius
MSRP from$21,235 to $29,330 CHECK LOCAL PRICING
- 2016
- Toyota
- Prius
- Prius c
- Prius v
The all-new, fourth-generation Prius now has smaller, lighter hybrid system components, higher energy density in the batteries, and a gas engine touting ground-breaking thermal efficiency (more than 40%), which Toyota says all contributes to a significant advancement in fuel economy. However, the automaker is not releasing specific powertrain details at this time.
With an expected 10% improvement in fuel economy on core models, Toyota says the new Prius will be best in class among vehicles without a plug. Plus, a soon-to-be unveiled Eco model will achieve an even greater improvement.
The new Prius is 60 millimetres longer than the model it replaces, plus lower and wider. The exterior has also been given a thorough freshening. The car is longer and sleeker. The hood is lower and the distinctive roof peak has been moved forward. The interior features a wraparound dash design, form-hugging seats, and improved visibility.

It's Tuesday afternoon, and Tim and I are taking our CSA box back to the car, a heavy bushel filled with watermelon, potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, cucumbers and yellow squash. Our usual routine has been to unload this share at home, turning some into dinner with a simple salad or something roasted, storing the rest of it away on the counter or the fridge to be cooked and eaten as the week goes on. But today, instead of setting things aside, I'm cooking it---all of it---one thing after another, often in the same liquids or roasting juices of the previous pan. With two months left on our CSA, I've been reading Tamar Adler's book, "An Everlasting Meal," and, as most home cooks who've read it would tell you, the way I use vegetables---actually the way I use almost everything in my kitchen---will never be the same. I first heard of Tamar Adler, and her book, in May, through an email from my friend Kendra. In the midst of what she called a "life-changing book," Kendra was … [Read more...]

to greet it with a smile on my face
Hello from the land of my thirties! I entered this new decade Saturday, in beautiful Gulf Shores, Alabama, where Tim took me away two days before, as a way to jump up and meet Thirty with a smile on my face, exploring and discovering instead of pining and reminiscing. I don't know what it is about these big birthdays, the ones that end in zeros, but so many of my female friends have had terrible times with them. In fact, after talking to one friend in particular last month, I burst out crying to Tim about how everybody treats aging like such a bad thing, and so was I going to sink into a depression on August 25 this year? Would I miss my family more than I usually do? Should he brace himself now for the drama? Thankfully, in our case, that outburst seems to have been all the drama and sadness I needed---and also, my husband is a kind, generous soul who responds by telling me he'll handle everything for my birthday and I can just relax, which, if I'm being honest, is probably exactly … [Read more...]
Peach Pizza on Kefir-Soaked Spelt Crust
The month of August has been a quiet one for us. Expected guests had to cancel at the last minute, plans changed and, while you'd think this would be the sort of thing to discourage us, in fact, it's been the opposite. We've been dealing with the wide-open weekends of Tim's homemade pancakes, afternoons spent writing, evening walks in the park, impromptu trips to thrift stores or out for tacos. The weather's even cooperated, moving from the abrasive 100s to more reasonable upper 80s, making it a little easier to enjoy cooking in the kitchen again. For years, Tim's told me about his homemade Chinese food, and this August has been his chance to take a few hours in the kitchen to show me. I've baked cookies without recipes. We've slow-cooked vegetables via Marcella Hazan. And not once, not twice, but three times, we've made homemade kefir-soaked spelt pizza crusts, topped by peaches and spinach and goat cheese. In so many ways, August has been a contrast to the months before it, … [Read more...]
Lacto-Fermented Salsa
My senior year of college, while I was student-teaching my way into an education degree I already knew I didn't want, I had an advisor named Heather. Heather was fantastic. She wore dark-rimmed glasses and crisp, collared shirts, and her short brunette hair was always cut neat and kept perfectly in place. Though I'd never taken one of her classes, I'd known her since the semester before, when one Saturday afternoon we'd both shown up to help a friend paint a new apartment. Moving her paintbrush against the wall like she was Mr. Miyagi in "Karate Kid," she'd stood next to me in the living room, nodding for me to follow suit, "It's like makeup, Shanna: blend!" Some people who are quick to teach like this can be terribly off-putting, always demanding to be heard, but not Heather. Her brand of counsel combined with an otherwise warm and soft demeanor to make her the best kind of maternal, like a big sister who shared all her secrets. We'd have our weekly phone calls to discuss my kids … [Read more...]
Honey-Glazed Peach Spinach Salad
Tim and I live in the downstairs of a 1940s-style house; I may have mentioned this before. If you walk into our living room from the front porch, you see built-ins around the fireplace, stuffed with the combined libraries of 20+ years of separate lives: a few textbooks, many novels, the guidebook and accompanying tapes for a 'How to Speak Italian' course. For the first few months we lived together, the mantel between these shelves was completely bare; December brought a $5 fresh pine wreath from Aldi, which we left mounted weeks past New Year's; we finally threw it in the fireplace in February, planning to watch it burn, but it's still sitting there. In its stead are perched a giant canvas engagement shot, a few framed prints and a wooden letter "M" I spray-painted white in a few Pinterest-driven weeks last winter. Besides the ottomans and the rug, everything in this living room is either from our previous apartments or hand-built by Tim; that's true in most of the house. The … [Read more...]
Sparkling Raspberry Lemonade + Sam's Club Book Giveaway
I've gone to bulk warehouses since I was a kid, tagging along with Dad while he ran errands. My dad worked a lot of nights when I was young, building the cleaning business that he and my mom had started just before I was born. The way they tell the story, in the early days, they mopped up apartments for a local university, my mom then heavy with child. They had me, then my brother, and meanwhile the company grew. By the time I was in elementary school, there were several accounts to keep up with, taking Dad away from us most nights. So to make up for it, he'd take me with him—to work and on errands, the two of us riding together into the night sky. My dad, who sports short, graying hair and a neatly trimmed moustache, stands 5'10", which today is just two-and-a-half inches higher than me, but I've always had to jog to keep up with him. When we'd arrive at the almost-empty parking lot of a shiny office building, I'd be trotting behind his white sneakers, pumping my arms to … [Read more...]
Strawberry Walnut Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream
Last summer, summer 2011, was the summer of wedding planning (also known as The Pit). I spent all my free time hunkered down in there, absorbed in the constant tasks of ceremony details, caterers, jazz bands, invitations, favors, showers, guest lists, seating charts, expectations, and I'll be honest with you: sometimes it got a little dark. Thankfully, Tim was with me. Having the two of us together made The Pit more cozy. The only problem with hunkering down for a summer, however, is that you miss a lot of things. It has to happen, but you do. While we were making regular trips back and forth from Chicago, the rest of the world continued on, the way it always does. While our weekends were spreadsheets of to-do lists and hours picking towels and bed sheets at Target, I tuned out of blogs and stopped reading or writing or paying attention to, well, anything that couldn't get into The Pit with us. Sometimes my family got in there. Sometimes, our friends. But everything else didn't fit, … [Read more...]

Before I say anything else, I need to thank you for your encouragement on the last post. When I wrote it, I did it for myself, to say out loud and to the Internet that I wanted to practice intentionality in this space. I figured that way, next time I found myself fixated on photography or recipe indexes or Sitemeter, I would have a published reminder to come back to, a post to point out my purpose, to remind me I'm here to share my stories, whatever does or doesn't come with that. I swear I didn't write it so you would pat me on the back and tell me I'm awesome and that I should keep going. In fact, reading through the comments, I almost couldn't take your kind words. It seems while I've spent a lot of the last few years wondering about my focus in this space, you guys have discerned it all along. You are the greatest gift of this place. I don't know what else to say but thank you. Thank you. Now, continuing with the theme of things I've wrestled with: potatoes. It's not that I … [Read more...]

Music production is the process of creating audio recordings. Although artists and songwriters usually receive credit for compositions, it takes a team of sound editors and audio recording engineers working behind the scenes to perfect any piece of recorded music by using techniques like sound mixing and mastering. You do not need a college degree to find a job in music production. However, the field is competitive, so earning a degree will help you to stand out among applicants. In addition, you will be able to network with other recording professionals, which will give you an edge when you are seeking employment.
Music production is usually studied at the undergraduate level. If you enroll in a music production program, you will learn a variety of technical skills like how to use sound effects and troubleshoot audio equipment. You will also study music theory and composition so that you can develop an ear for music that you can apply to the studio.
The process of music production includes roles ranging from developing overarching themes for an album to mixing and mastering the final product. Since many musicians view the creation process as an all-encompassing art, music producers have taken on various entrepreneurial roles such as budgeting projects, scheduling guest artists, and negotiating record deals.
The variety of roles required for music production has led to the advent of several positions in the field. Generally, executive producers and music producers divide administrative and technical roles, respectively. More specifically, music engineers, production assistants, and studio managers all provide support roles for polishing songs to perfection.
The website Musicproductionschools.net is temporarily unavailable due to technical work on it.

I am working currently on a multi-language website for which I am using WPML and WordPress SEO by Yoast. WordPress SEO plugin works really great for multiple languages except for some issue that does, however, bother me. When WordPress SEO generates XML sitemap, it mixes pages in all languages together when one would expect it to generate a separate set of XML files for each language.
Because I am using a separate domain per language, I end up with a sitemap that mixes pages from two domains. I do not know for sure but I assume Google does not like it at all.
From wpml.org forums I know that WordPress SEO by Yoast is in general very WPML-frienly and this issue is one of the minor things that are not perfect. WPML people are aware of the situation and aprox. 5 months ago there was a note from WMPL developer saying that
We need to work with Yoast so that WPML can communicate better with his SEO plugin. Right now, the SEO plugin dumps all the URLs in the same file, without knowing that some of them go to a different domain.I do not know if there is any work in progress on that, but being a PHP developer I would like to offer Joost some of my time I'm willing to contribute in resolving this issue, if that be of any use.
In case this not work I am wondering if there are any other XML sitempag generators that are able to generate sitemap correctly (i.e. to have a separate sitemap per language) with WPML being used to handle different languages?
Best regards,

The AIMsights Group, a generational marketing research company, has chosen the top products from the 2014 International Home + Housewares Show that it expects to resonate with Millennial consumers (born between approximately 1982 and 2004) and Baby Boomers, in what it calls this year's Top 10 Ping Pong Products.

At the Housewares Show, AIMsights also introduced its new M@B Blueprint, a marketing tool that provides a methodical way of looking at the Millennials and Boomers as individual groups of consumers, as well as exploring how the two generations influence each other and drive sales.
The Top 10 Ping Pong Products from the 2014 Housewares Show are: Artland's Lotus Grill, the Beaba Babycook Pro; Charles Viancin Silicone Lids, the Janome Derby Line Sewing Machine, Lodge Silicone Trivets, the Nespresso Vertuo, the Objecto H3 Hybrid Humidifier; Quirky's VanishISO, the Verilux HappyLight 10K and Zadro's Cordless Round Wall Mirror.

We all have different workout schedules and what works best for us. Last week was my first forty mile week. With that did three things differently started to bike; did about ten miles on the bike. Second thing was went swimming from four miles for the week to six miles. Then also walked seven miles when not running; did all this from Sunday to Sunday. Rested Monday and then went out for a ten mile run. A tough run with the legs feeling like that they were rocks. Though last week felt fine was wondering though does it seem body is just say relax this week?
You ran 40 miles, walked 7 miles, biked 10 miles, swam 6 miles - what you didn't climb any mountains? LOL
I need to rest after just reading about your week!
Im not surprised your legs feel like weights and you feel tired, I think you did alittle over training last week.
You might want to build up to that slowly so your body can get use to all the phyiscal work over a month or two of training . Im also sure your body is saying give it a break, with that I would wait a couple more days and then ease slowly back into the running over the next week or two..
It's not only about finishing, its about finishing healthy!

The next morning, she was too weak and sore to rise from the ground. Her new husband, Tol-we-noka they called him, told his two other wives to take her to the creek and wash her. They ignored him until he became angry, then they lifted Pas-ha-uta and pushed her in the direction of the water.
She fell at the river's edge and drank heavily. Several others were there, including a Comanche man who held the two-year-old Apache child. The boy's body and face were black and swollen.
The man threw the boy into the creek, and Pas-ha-uta, horrified, crawled into the water and lifted him out. The Comanche waded into the water and snatched the child away, throwing him back into the water.
Again, she took the boy from the creek, and the man jerked her backward by the hair, pulling her underwater. He tore the child from her arms and threw him downstream, then turned his attention to Pas-ha-uta, slapping her until she stumbled out of the water and fell.
She buried her face in the wet sand, screaming until she could no longer breathe through the dirt filling her nose and mouth. She knew her father would never arrive.
The boy floated face-down in the slowly moving water.

It is widely accepted that providing stimulus enrichment is an important part of the development and maintenance of behavior and well-being in mammals. However, extending this idea to non-avian reptiles has barely been explored, certainly as an aid to cognitive development. Monitor lizards have a reputation for being highly curious and intelligent lizards, but quantitative experiments are necessary to evaluate such impressions as well as the value of providing enrichment to captive squamate reptiles. In this study eight juvenile black-throated monitors, Varanus albigularis, were tested in their home enclosures with three presentations, at weekly intervals, of a novel task apparatus: a transparent food tube containing several prey. The food tube allowed the monitors to obtain prey by using hinged doors at either end of the tube to access food. All eight lizards learned to open the tube, insert head, and capture the prey within 10 min in the first trial. By the second trial, both mean latencies to access the tube and capture the first prey item decreased significantly, as did the use of ineffective responses such as shaking the tube. A further slight decrease occurred in the third trial. Due to the results of this and similar studies, serious consideration should be given to further testing of cognitive abilities in squamate reptiles. Incorporating problem solving tasks may also be useful to increase the activity level and captive well-being of squamate reptiles, especially monitor lizards.
