Marcia's lessons in life help others
Founder of Roupa Suja Project, a union of women who work to provide childcare, education, job training and assistance to people living in one of Rio's largest slum, Marcia Ferreira da Costa is a fitting addition to our series on inspiring women…
"I was born in the favela of Rocinha, Rio de Janeiro, in the mid 1960s. I was one of four daughters and we, along with my parents, lived in a very very poor house. It was in front of an open ditch. Every time it rained a lot we would lose everything, and this is something I'll never forget. The ditch would overflow and inundate my house bringing rats and garbage. We needed to sleep in other people's houses and keep our clothes in bags etc. But despite this hard situation, I also remember we were always happy as a family. We were very close.

Lindsay Lohan Told Her Dad That She's Really Got A Fetus Growing In Her Body
As Lindsay Lohan got back to her full-time job of lounging on a yacht in Europe, her piece of trash father Michael Lohan got back to his full-time job of spitting out private bits of her life to the media for coins. Michael Lohan told everyone yesterday that he believes that his daughter and her maybe-cheating and violent Russian piece spawned. And today, Michael said that LiLo told him in a text message that a fetus is really in her womb where it's probably sipping on some vodka-infused amniotic fluid.
Tom Hiddleston Returns To Los Angeles Right After Taylor Swift Was "Snubbed" By The MTV VMAs
Earlier today, I made a joke about Tom Hiddleston's "screaming internally" face (copyright: Michael) while talking about Ed Sheeran's maybe-marriage. Only a few hours later I stumbled upon this picture of him making a Level-6 "screaming internally" face while boarding a flight to LAX last night. Coincidence? No, probably not. I'm sure anyone could have predicted Tom would make that face on his way back to Los Angeles. After all, If I knew I was a 5-hour flight away from my next round of LOOK AT HOW IN LOVE WE ARE!! photo ops with Taylor Swift, I'd make that same face too.
Tom flew back to Los Angeles last night from New York, and The Daily Mail thinks he rushed back to "console" Taylor after finding out that Slytherin's mascot didn't receive a single MTV VMA nomination yesterday. But Gossip Cop says that Taylor doesn't need to be consoled and she isn't unleashing a bunch of PG expletives while throwing all the MTV VMAs she won last year into her pool. Despite UsWeekly's report that MTV pulled a "…and none for Gretchen Weiners" on Taylor this year, she wasn't actually snubbed. Gossip Cop says Taylor never submitted any of her eligible videos. They also say she wasn't planning on attending this year's ceremony since she spent the majority of last year touring rather than making videos.
Okay, but that doesn't mean she's not upset. Just because Taylor didn't submit videos doesn't mean she wasn't expecting a couple nominations anyway. It's like when someone invites you to their birthday party and says, "no gifts", but you know they're secretly wishing for a 6-foot-tall stack of presents. If Taylor's not actually at home sulking, then why wasn't she taking advantage of all the photographers at LAX last night? She could have waited for Tom at the arrivals gate with a handwritten sign that says "YOU'RE THE ONLY VMA I NEED: VERY MASCULINE AGENT" before jumping into his open arms. Really missed an opportunity, you two.

Open Post: Hosted By Michael Fassbender Dipping His Dangling Pen Into A Bottle
If you didn't look at that picture and got all excited after misreading the headline as "Michael Fassbender Dipping His Dangling Peen Into A Bottle," then: 1) We're soul siblings, because we both always have dick on the brain. 2) You're crazy to think that Michael Fassbender could dip his salchicha into a bottle. The only way he could fuck a bottle is if the bottle looks like this:
Even then, he'd need a gallon tub of Crisco to get it in.
But anyway, Michael Assbender was on The Tonight Show last night to promote his new movie The Light Between Two Oceans, and Jimmy Fallon decided that they should play a game of "Pen In Bottle." Michael's piece Alicia Vikander taught Jimmy the Swedish drinking game when she was on last week. All you do is tie a string with a pen attached to it around your waist, and then you squat while trying to sex the bottle with your pen. I know, the people at The Tonight Show are genius pervs. They came up with a G-rated way to show us what it looks like when Michael Fassbender pile drives.
You can't tell from that clip since it was cut due to FCC rules, but even though Michael Fassbender missed the hole, that bottle still came.
And here's Alicia and Michael taking selfies with their fans outside of their hotel in NYC a couple of days ago:

Kristen Stewart Is Finally Feeling Things Again
Kristen Stewart looks about as empty and dead inside as a cold, hallowed-out cadaver, but she tells Elle UK that after getting back with her on-and-off-again-piece Alicia Cargile for the third time, she is finally feeling feels again. Don't let that picture from Elle UK fool you. On the outside, Kristen Stewart may look like a zombified and punkified Wednesday Addams after smoking a morphine-laced joint, but on the inside, a roller coaster of a million raw emotions is running through her!!!
Jared Leto Jokes That He Could Have A Little Jared Leto Jr. Somewhere
The most recent stop on Jared Leto's publicity tour for Suicide Squad was on the cover of this month's issue of Rolling Stone. Just like his fellow Suicide Squad co-star Margot Robbie, he also served up sex and skin on the cover. I think my eyes have seen roughly 1.6 million pictures of Jared in Manic Panic Meth-head drag as The Joker, so it's a really refreshing change to see him working a new look for a change. Yes, even if he looks like a hot dirtbag who sells counterfeit t-shirts at Skid Row concerts from the trunk of his car. I'll take what I can get.
Jared did more than just channel his inner-Janet by posing topless on the cover in a pair of 90s denim, he also said words. Of course, his words were very Jared Leto-y. He got both deep (fatherhood, existentialism) and high (drugs, drugs, and how he used to do so many drugs).
Okay, So Jane Fonda Saved That All-Celebrity "Fight Song" Video
Sure, dried drop of urethral pus Donald Trump mouth shat up another batshit crazy dingle today when he called for Russia to hack Hillary Clinton, but here at Dlisted, we only post about the most important political news, so here's the video of a bunch of famous and famous-esque people singing Rachel Platten's little-known, unheard pop single "Fight Song."
Jabba the Trump had the USA Freedom Kids (whose manager is threatening to throw a lawsuit at the Trump campaign for violating an agreement) and Hillary Clinton has a bunch of celebrities singing "Fight Song" on the old set of The Branchy Bunch's intro. The Los Angeles Times says that Elizabeth Banks put together as many pro-Hillary celebs as she could to sing in a video for the DNC. The likes of Aisha Tyler, Mandy Moore, Rob Reiner, Connie Britton, Kathy Najimy, Julie Bowen, Hana Mae Lee, America Ferrera, John Michael Higgins, Kristen Chenoweth, Idina Menzel, Billy Porter, Sia, Dollar Tree Victorian cameo Jaime King (who really, really took it seriously) and a bunch of others warbled out a cover of "Fight Song" that made my face contort into the cringe position. I cringed, cringed and cringed some more.
For the first minute, I thought to myself, "You all are NOT helping!", but that all changed when the music stopped and Jane Fonda talk-sang for her life!
Leave it to Jane Fonda to save it all. But if you watched that video above, you know that Jane wasn't the only one who really delivered. About 90 seconds in, Ellen Greene (aka Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors) popped up in impeccable Louise Brooks cosplay and delivered a stirring, raw and melodramatic re-telling of "Fight Song." That is how it's done.
God, I love theater people.
Ed Sheeran Might Have Gotten Secret Married
Despite being longtime BFFs with one of the biggest relationship stunt queens in the game, Ed Sheeran keeps it a little quieter when it comes to where his ginger business has been. He never confirmed if he was ever actually doing it with a Pussycat Doll last year. He's rarely papped with his current girlfriend Cherry Seaborn, seen above leaving a premiere with him in London last October.
So really, I guess no one should be surprised if Ed were to go and get secret married. According to The Sun, Ed might have done just that. Two days ago, a picture of Ed attending a friend's daughter's 5th birthday party hit the internet in which he just so happened to be showing off a ring on that finger.
Judging by the distracted look on her face, either the photographer didn't yell "1-2-cheese" before taking that picture, or that little girl just realized that that ring was about to steal all her 5th birthday thunder. I choose to believe it was the second, because 5-year-olds are wise like that.
Ed and Cherry have been dating for a year, so it's not crazy to think that they might have recently made it legal. Ed himself hasn't confirmed whether he made Cherry his wife because he's on a self-imposed social media hiatus since December.
I know a ring on that finger on that hand usually means there's a 99.9% a person is hitched, but I'm still skeptical that he actually got married. After all, it's a well-known fact that Taylor Swift is unable to go to a wedding and not make it AAT (All About Taylor). I mean, she made damn sure she was the star of their 1st anniversary. If the Archie to Taylor's Betty got married, we'd have heard about it. There's no way Ed Sheeran would have had a wedding without a professional photographer getting at least six dozen pictures of Taylor catching the bouquet (just like she practiced) while her date Tom Hiddleston smiles on the outside/screams internally from the sidelines in an I Heart TS-printed tuxedo.

I have found this question which relates to the topic, but I wanted to know if someone could (briefly) outline the types of mathematics questions that fall under the Stack Overflow umbrella versus those that should be flagged for migration.
Meta Stack Exchange is where users like you discuss bugs, features, and support issues that affect the software powering all 158 Stack Exchange communities.
What is meta?
What is meta?
Here's how it works:
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
Note that if you think a question should be migrated away from SO to a site other than SU, SF, Programmers or Webmasters, you need to flag it for moderator attention (mention the intended destination in the comment, optionally with a very brief and crystal-clear justification).
To provide a few examples, here is the list of questions that have been migrated from Stack Overflow to Mathematics Stack Exchange as of now, according to Google, sorted by decreasing number of votes:
It's not really an exact science... That's why we have humans vote to migrate, rather than computers.
But my rule of thumb would be the ones that include source code belong on Stack Overflow. The rest could probably find a better home elsewhere.

Re: train from sofia bourgas
Hi! Bourgas is a pretty major city and so the trains run year round. The Bulgarian railways site is www.bdz.bg and there is an english button a the top. The site is really easy to use and has all the info you'll need. BTW on the site it is Burgas (without the o).
Timings vary according to the particaular train as do fares. There are 2 express trains daily with a journey time of about 7 and a half hours, the fare is 21.50 BGN one way. The fast trains, of which there are 5 daily) don't take that much longer and cost from 17.20. Most trains are direct but a couple of them require changes at Karnobat.
Hope this helps and if you need any further info please feel free to get in touch.

1. Brandon Marshall, WR: Marshall was clearly disappointed with his Week 5 effort against the New Orleans Saints (four
catches, 30 yards and one touchdown) but he rebounded against the New York Giants on Thursday with nine receptions and a pair of touchdowns. The Bears plan called for Marshall to be involved early and often, as quarterback Jay Cutler targeted the team's No. 1 wide receiver 11 times, eight of those targets came in the first half. Marshall talked about his frustration and body language in two separate press conferences following the loss to the Saints, but he still leads the Bears with 40 catches for 465 yards and five touchdowns through six games. Last year at this point of the season Marshall had caught 41 passes and four touchdowns en route to re-writing the franchise's record book in 2012 with 118 receptions for 1,508 yards and 11 touchdowns. Life isn't all that bad for Marshall in the Marc Trestman offense.
2. Tim Jennings, CB: The 5-foot-8 cornerback is a turnover machine. Jennings returned an interception for a touchdown against the Giants, his second pick-six of the season and third of his career. Jennings picked off another Eli Manning pass for good measure in the fourth quarter to seal the victory. Since the start of the 2012 season, Jennings leads the NFL with 12 interceptions after picking off a combined seven passes over his first six years in the league. What a remarkable story. Jennings' 2013 salary is north of $4 million, but he seems like a solid investment. With 15 interceptions in three-plus years in Chicago, can the Bears afford to let him go in free agency? That kind of production is hard to find.
3. Robbie Gould, K: Gould is simply automatic. The former All-Pro kicker is 10-for-10 on the season and 2-for-2 from 50-plus, a distance he's nailed 12 straight kicks from which ties the current NFL record. Going into Week 6, Gould ranked as the third-most accurate kicker in NFL history. Not bad for kicker who must deal with the windy and unpredictable conditions of Soldier Field. If Gould (948 points) remains in Chicago beyond this season he will shatter the record for most points scored in franchise history, held by Kevin Butler (1,116 points).
1. Julius Peppers, DE: Peppers didn't have a single tackle or quarterback hit against the Giants, according to the NFL's official stat booklet. That's a problem. And it's a trend. Peppers had a good game in Week 4 against the Detroit Lions, but that's where his production ends. The Bears are too banged up on the defensive line for Peppers not to make an impact. We mentioned this last week, but Peppers is eating up $14,387,533 worth of the salary cap space. It's not Peppers' fault the Bears paid him so much money, but the organization needs to see a return on its investment. When the pass rush is broken, the onus is on the superstar to step up and fix it. If Peppers doesn't begin to hit the quarterback, who will?
2. Shea McClellin, DE: McClellin made strides in Week 6 against the Saints, but he took a step backward against the Giants. McClellin plays hard and can chase down plays from the backside, but when the action is coming straight at him, McClellin just doesn't have the physical traits to consistently win at the line of scrimmage. He's not a 4-3 defensive end. That's not to say McClellin doesn't have value. He is very athletic, and can occasionally have a good rush during games because of his speed. Maybe in a different defense, McClellin can be an impact player, but not in this scheme. In 20 NFL games, McClellin has three sacks. That's not good enough for the 19th overall pick of the 2012 NFL draft.
3. Run defense: Brandon Jacobs rushed for a total of 7 yards in 2012. He gained 106 yards on the ground against the Bears and scored two touchdowns. No disrespect to Jacobs, but his best NFL days are in the rearview mirror. He did once have back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons, but that was in 2007 and 2008. He's 32 years old. Nevertheless, Jacobs found the fountain of youth at Soldier Field as he ran through enormous holes and busted past Bears' would-be-tacklers. The Bears have now allowed three different running backs (Jacobs, Reggie Bush and Adrian Peterson) to reach 100 yards on the ground in the first six weeks. True, the Bears are dealing with various injuries on the defensive line, but keep in mind the Giants ranked dead last in the league in rushing offense (56.8) heading into Week 6.

Virtual Social Identity and Consumer Behaviorby Natalie T. Wood, Michael R. Solomon
View All Available Formats & Editions
Pub. Date: 10/15/2009
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
The creation and expression of identity (or of multiple identities) in immersive computer-mediated environments (CMEs) is rapidly transforming consumer behavior. The various social networking and gaming sites have millions of registered users worldwide, and major corporations are beginning to attempt to reach and entice the growing flood of consumers occupying these virtual worlds. Despite this huge potential, however, experts know very little about the best way to talk to consumers in these online environments. How will well-established research findings from the offline world transfer to CMEs? That's where "Virtual Social Identity and Consumer Behavior"
comes in. Written by two of the leading experts in the field, it presents cutting-edge academic research on virtual social identity, explores consumer behavior in virtual worlds, and offers important implications for marketers interested in working in these environments. The book provides special insight into the largest and fastest growing group of users - kids and teens. There is no better source for understanding the impact of virtual social identities on consumers, consumer behavior, and electronic commerce.

Nothing for sale here, so I believe it's okay to post...
Looking for feedback, as I haven't gotten much on other forums. Again, this is not the site I sell my art from, just a display gallery.
excellent work! I love the feel of what you bring forth.
I don't know if you want editing help, but under the Lost painting (which I LOVE, BTW), solice should be "solace".
I really enjoy your style. Looks like the kind of stuff I am drawn to.
I love the dramatic element to your paintings.
Thanks for sharing :)

The highly experienced Athletico Bilbao defender Fernando Amorebieta has been linked with a move to Arsenal recently, and it seems that the Venezuelan international is keen to make a move to the Premier League, despite interest from Russia.
Tag Archives: Amorebieta
Arsenal step up scouting for defenders
Not only are Arsenal short of defenders, the ones we have got are not doing well enough, so it is no surprise that one of the main transfer priorities in the summer is a world class addition to the back four as well as a proper defensive midfielder to give them extra protection. There are reports out today that scouts from the Emirates have been keeping tabs on Maxime Gonalons of Lyon and Angelo Ogbonna of Torino.
Arsenal can see off competition for Bilbao defender
It was only a few wekks ago when the name of Fernando Amorebieta was relatively unknown in England. That was before the Athletic Bilbao defender was linked with a transfer to Arsenal. Now the Venezuelan international is being tracked by a host of clubs, including Everton, Liverpool and Stoke City. The latest club to show concrete interest in the 27-year old is the Russian outfit Anzhi Makachkala, according to the Russian newspaper Izvestia.
Arsenal can get Bilbao star for free in summer!
Arsenal are not the only club interested in Fernando Amorebieta, but the Gunners should have a head start because they already tried to sign him in January, according to rumours. The 27-year old central defender will certainly be leaving Athletic Bilbao at the end of the season, after the Spanish club lost patience and withdrew the offer of a new contract from him.
Arsenal close in on Bilbao defender
There may be some news after all for Arsenal fans, although nothing is official yet. Arsene Wenger may be finalising a deal to bring the centre back Fernando Amorebieta from Athletic Bilbao. The 27-year old is a Venezuelan international but has lived in Spain's Basque country for most of his life. He has played for Bilbao since the start of his professional career, but has rejected the offer of a new contract.
Benedikt Howedes is Wenger's best option to plug the defence?
Here is the second Guest Post by Graham from London who wrote a great post yesterday about where (he thought) Wenger went wrong in the last five years. Well now he is offering solutions that may help the Arsenal manager fix the defensive problems he should have sorted out some time ago……

Spicy Lamb Kabobs With Turkish Cacik
Total Time
Prep 25 mins
Cook 15 mins
Posting for ZWT 6. If you are looking for a kabob with a kick, this is it! Lamb is marinaded in a spicy blend of herbs, creating a flavorful lamb kabob. Cacik has a million different uses. Use as a dip for kebabs, pita dip, or eat it alone, it has the most fabulous flavor.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 lbs lamb, cubes about 1 inches each
- 2 green peppers
- 2 pints cherry tomatoes
- 2 onions
For the marinade
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1⁄2 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cumin
- 1⁄4 teaspoon turmeric (or more if desired, depending on how spicy you desire)
- 1 pinch ground red pepper or 1 pinch cayenne
For the cacik
- 2 cucumbers, peeled and grated
- 16 ounces cold plain yogurt
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon of fresh mint
- salt
- olive oil
- Make Cacik: In a mixing bowl, combine cucumbers and garlic. Add salt to taste. Mix in yogurt with wooden spoon. Transfer to serving bowl. Garnish with mint and drizzle olive oil on top. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate.
- Prepare skewers by spraying a light coat of cooking oil to prevent sticking. Place lamb and vegetables on skewers. Grill spicy lamb kebabs for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until desired doneness. Serve with hummus, baba ghannouj, or turkish cacik, a cucumber yogurt sauce for dipping.

I thought this was GREAT!
Seasoning and yogurt sauce is VERY healthy, first rate!
SO simple, easy to make, TRUE!
Cooked lamb on wooden skewers two minutes each side...gets two thumbs lambs up too lol
I loved this but I didn't use lamb as I did not have any, so I used beef. I also used hickory chips in my grill. The flavor was phenomenal. Threw in a teaspoon of garam masala in the marinade and extra cayenne. Yum. I will make this again and next time with lamb. Thanks because this is now my favorite marinade. I like to switch around a bit and get excited when I find something new.
This marinade was delicious. I'm not sure the cacik sauce is quite right - it seemed to need more spices. We used this marinade on lamb and chicken and then put them in a rotisserie. Delicious!

Giants 'need to crank it up' for road trip
New kid on the block: Giants get first look at Puig
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants were out-homered 10-1 in their first losing homestand since July of last year, leaving them struggling at a pivotal point in the season.
"I don't think we're pressing," said Buster Posey, who went 0-for-3 in the Giants' 7-2 loss Sunday and 2-for-16 in the four-game set against Miami. "At the same time, we need to crank it up a little bit and play with a sense of urgency."
Manager Bruce Bochy sung a similar tune.
"I think it's critical," manager Bruce Bochy said of the upcoming trip. "We're playing good teams, teams in our division.
"We gotta really pick up our game here. This was a tough way to end this homestand."
The Giants allowed four runs on two home runs in the final frame of the series loss to the Marlins, but the game was decided on a number of key plays in the innings prior to Jean Machi's ninth-inning implosion.
In the sixth inning, with runners at the corners and no outs, the normally sure-handed Brandon Belt let his attention shift toward home plate before securing a routine ground ball from Logan Morrison. The ball trickled into the outfield, allowing the Marlins' third -- and game-winning -- run to score.
"We made a mistake on that ground ball," Bochy said. "We got the perfect ball hit. Belt's so good over there, it just went off his glove. That saves a run."
In the seventh inning, with runners at the corners and one out, Bochy opted to pinch hit for Nick Noonan, sending Joaquin Arias to the plate. After a light line drive down the right-field line landed just outside the chalk, Ryan Webb induced a comebacker to initiate a 1-6-3 double play.
"He's been hot with the bat and that's why he hit there," Bochy explained. "He hits a line drive that's just foul, too. But they got out of it with the double play."
In the eighth inning, Marco Scutaro followed Gregor Blanco's single with one of his own. As the throw from Giancarlo Stanton in right field sailed over the cut-off man, Scutaro broke for second. Blanco was safe at third, but Ed Lucas made the heads-up play to cut down Scutaro trying to advance on the throw.
Instead of first and third with one out, Buster Posey came up with two outs and a runner on third and could not convert.
"That's totally his read," Bochy said. "That was a big play. They executed it and there's not much else to say."
The Giants, who trail the Diamondbacks in the NL West by three games, can take solace in the fact that Arizona faces an equally difficult 10-game road trip visiting the Nationals, Braves and Mets. But San Francisco needs to worry about what's going on in its own locker room.
Bochy acknowledged that the team's rash of injuries might have caught up to them in the series loss to Miami. The Giants managed eight runs over four games against the Marlins, a far cry from their season average of 4.27 runs per game.
"We just couldn't get the bats going," Bochy said.
The team is counting on the return of Pablo Sandoval to do just that. At the very least, his keep-it-light demeanor will ensure Posey's right that the team isn't pressing.

I am pleased to announce the addition of two new members to our team. PeGe is our database administrator and will be able to help with program logic. Drew will be a developer. With the help of these new memebers, we will be able to develop a lot faster.
This system promises to be very unique and extensible, and I alone cannot achieve this. The need for developers right now is high, the code has many glitches and I cannot figure them out or solve the problems all by myself. I have posted messages looking for help on the project help page, hopefully we get some answers soon.
If you would like to help develop CCMS, please contact a project administrator ASAP. Some skills we are looking for in a developer are knowing how to program OO PHP5 and MySQL. For web and template developers, we would like to see XHTML and CSS knowledge.
The Chicken Content Management System was approved by the SF staff and added to SF earlier today. CCMS plans to be one of the most unique and extensible content management systems to date.
The backend is being written is full OO PHP5 and uses classes extensively. The system will allow full customization of the configuration and the templates. This content management system is being designed to be used on any type of website. Modules will be developed for creating such websites as an art site, news site, tutorial site, etc.... read more

This paper presents a new class of "well-behaved" Petri nets called extended resource control net (ERCN*) merged nets that generalize the class of ERCN merged nets proposed in a previous paper by Xie and Jeng. ERCN merged nets can model parallel and synchronized processes in semiconductor manufacturing such as lot split and lot merging, which occurs frequently in a research and development (R&D) semiconductor fab (semiconductor plant) for engineering purposes. However, processing cycles for each resource type must include the initial state of the resource type. In other words, no local processing cycles are allowed. This makes the modeling of degraded behavior in semiconductor manufacturing such as rework, failure, and maintenance difficult. In the current work, this constraint is relaxed under the "extended free-choice (EFC)" or "asymmetric choice (AC)" condition. Specifically, for each operation place with degrading outgoing arcs, the FC or AC condition is satisfied. In addition, degraded behavior is modeled as blocks within ERCNs. We show that conditions for liveness and reversibility of an ERCN* merged net correspond to the absence of unmarked siphons. The "well-behaved" conditions can be transformed into inequalities of the initial marking. Examples are shown to illustrate the proposed methodology.

Evangelical Christians call for acceptance of gay people
Post your comment

Of course they don't hate us – just our feelings ('temptations') and relationships ('sins' and 'abominations'). I wonder how loved they would feel if anyone viewed theirs in the same way. Smiling, saccharine hypocrites. Anybody expecting sky-god worshippers to be nice to them had better be exactly like them.
Dear Riondo – I hope you're NOT exactly like me – I've made more messes in my 'smiling saccharine existence' than I like to acknowledge. I apologise for how we mess up church (we're messed up people who need to look at ourselves before daring to judge anyone) and the message that gives out to others. The 'sky-god' I love accepts me in spite of me and I honestly believe He doesn't discriminate – He just loves and accepts and challenges me to love as He does. I hope you encounter some real, ordinary radical Christians one day and find them more honest!
Jesus lived in an age of sexism, racism and every other 'ism'. Despite this he went against the cultural and religious norms and accepted and respected everyone he met. Here at Liberty Church Blackpool we welcome and affirm LGBT people as he did. Thank you for a very well written article. Nina
So Nina, in your church is homosexuality not a sin? Wow, cos the bible says it is. Plain and simple – if you believe the bible is divine scripture then you must (according to God) hate us. Simple as. No self-respecting gay person should have anything to do with the traditional religions.
Jesus may have been original in some ways, Nina, but Christianity doesn't have much to do with him. His apocalyptic but essentially Jewish outlook was replaced by worship of him as a divine being, Hellenistic style, by the early church. JD is not quite right, by the way – Biblical views on sex generally are actually quite complex and muddled – it's just that Christians have made selective appeal to the bits that seem to support their evolving fears and prejudices. The trouble is trying to use unprovable supernatural beliefs to validate whatever your attitudes happen to be (and yes, that includes 'radical' ones as well), instead of owning them and taking responsibility for them. In short, this type of religious psychology stops the human race growing up.
I don't doubt the spiritual experience of Christians like Jill – that they feel accepted 'in spite of their shortcomings'. That's an experience of what Christians would call Grace that many people in other religions testify to as well – thought they may express it in different words.
Christians, though, may do well to ask themselves how well their Biblical 'God-talk' (theology) articulates with their spiritual experience. How appropriate is it really?
The god of the Bible frequently commits, commands, condones and otherwise colludes with the most atrocious violence. This is the REAL problem with Biblical religion.
Here's what the message of Biblical Christianity really says:
YHVH/El/'God the Father' is God
Jesus Christ is God
The Holy Spirit is God
God had to sacrifice Himself to Himself to save us from the wrath of… Himself!
Simple forgivenness in return for genuine repentance was beyond Him!
And anyone who doesn't believe this blasphemous nonsense will be tortured mercilesly forever!
Time to get a new God, Christians?
I think this is not about religion. It just has to be about sexual orientation.Only!

Learning new things is a true passion of mine. This passion has led to a career of sharing this knowledge with students. Having taught middle, high and college level courses, I have the ability to make Science easy to understand for students of all levels by using real life analogies that relate to students' individual interests.
I specialize in Chemistry and Biology for high school students and Earth, Life and Physical Sciences for middle school students. Having previously prepared students for End of Course exams(EOCs)in Biology and Chemistry and FCAT science, I know what students need to be successful and can provide practice questions to help them prepare for such exams.
Prior to starting, I provide a 15 minute complimentary consultation to assess where each student is, which may include a short survey, find out their interests and how they learn and process information. I have tremendous respect for students' education and as such will not bill for a session in which a parent or student is not completely satisfied.
My goal for each session is to ensure that students understand and enjoy learning about science and are progressing appropriately. I will provide progress reports, assessments and practice problems to demonstrate student's progression.
I have a 24 hour cancellation policy, however I do offer makeup classes.
To ensure students have a comfortable learning environment, I am happy to travel to a location that is convenient for the student.
I look forward to hearing from you and helping you love and understand Science.

Jo nell taught me chemistry. She helped me understand and have a better grasp of the concept of chemistry as a whole and she helped me accomplish and do better in chemistry already with my homework and classwork that has been provided and will be provided in the future and i feel confident with her continuous help in this subject i will do better on the tests/exams that will be given in the near future
She helped a lot, I went from not understanding anything to having a good idea in just 2 hours.
My son was struggling with Chemistry. Jo Nell tutored my son for 2 hours and he got an A on the next test. She is patient, knowledgeable and is a very experienced teacher. I would definitely recommend her and this service. I was very satisfied.
Jo Nell has been so kind, caring, and patient. You can truly see she loves the subject she teaches. Her eye light up and she actually explains real and interesting reasons you need chemistry in life/school and your career! Thank you so much!
Jo is nice, knowledgeable, and reliable. My son really benefited from her tutoring sessions. It's been a pleasure to have her as my son's tutor.
Jo Nell was very patient with my daughter and made her feel as if chemistry was manageable. I would highly recommend.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Microbiology and a Masters of Science degree in Forensic Chemistry. I have more than three years experience teaching Biology and Chemistry at the high school level and I am currently an adjunct Professor at Broward College.

AbstractDelcross proposes to systematically validate the Savant and Savant-Hybrid solvers for a wide variety of problems. When shortcomings in existing methods are identified, they will be investigated and revised as necessary to provide good comparison with benchmark solutions. Our approach will first consider canonical problems involving PEC structures that are well understood. We will use Savant and a full-wave solver to run the canonical test cases and then compare the results. We will then perform validations of the material models in Savant by comparing Savant and full-wave simulations for simple geometries involving single and multi-layer dielectric materials and eventually work up to complex radomes. We will also work with NAVAIR to compare Savant simulations with measured data for an antenna mounted on an aircraft. We will consider additional platforms for which measured data exist and potentially design test cases to be measured in an anechoic chamber or at an outdoor range. We plan to implement advanced physics models in Savant to improve the existing models. Validation of the advanced physics models would occur as part of the proposed effort. Finally, the Savant-Hybrid solver currently under development will be validated through comparisons to measurements and full-wave solutions.

Hi guys, I want to install wordpress multisite in local with sub-domain.
I have tried with localhost, but it isn't correct for sub-domain (but only sub-category).
Can you explain me all the steps I must follow for a right installation?
Hi guys, I want to install wordpress multisite in local with sub-domain.
I have tried with localhost, but it isn't correct for sub-domain (but only sub-category).
Can you explain me all the steps I must follow for a right installation?
Sub-domain on
localhost is tricky because while
localhost resolves to
site2.localhost, etc. don't exist and will not resolve.
Follow the installation instructions for installing domain based (sub domainss) multisite installation, create your sites first, and give this a read on generating the
etc/hosts file entries needed for it to work.
ok, thanks bro
what structure do you recommend me? sub-domain and sub-category work the same way? there are differents for inclusion in search engines, future expansion of the site, ecc?
p.s.: sorry for my english, i'm italian :-D
Not sure what you mean with sub-category...
With Multisite in domain mode, it's like having many blogs but with one set of software only different hostnames, look, posts, etc.
With multisite in sub-directory mode, then each site starts with a different directory, while sharing the same host name,
Just as it is with a domain setup, each
/siteN looks and feels like a separate installation. Also
siteN is just an example, you can use any name you want. ;)
If by sub-category you mean, directories, it's up to you. I use the domain model myself.
p.s.: sorry for my english, i'm italian :-D
Don't worry about it. I'm sorry for my English but I claim to be an example of the U.S. Education system... ;D
yes, i mean directory sorry.
I explain you my project: I want to do a multisite with a main page as a magazine (with a personal theme). Other sections will be: a photo and video gallery where the users can comment them, vote for theme, ecc (with a personal theme); a blog (with a personal theme); a forum; a contact page; a registration page.
Single registration valid for all sections.
3 different themes to be applied.
So, what structure you recommend me?
I know the differeces like: site1.domain.com site2.domain.com for subdomain structure and domain.com/site1, ..... for subdirectory structure.
But there are differences about inclusion in search engines like google, more visibility, future expansion of the site (so other sections to add in future)?
I'm not sure which one is better for search engines.
I would think that a subdirectory would be a better solution as all the sites in your network would be via one server URL but that's a guess on my part. Sub domain installations really do look likes separate installations.
ok thanks very much ;-)
As of Panda (i.e. now) there's no SEO diff between subdomain and subfolder, if Google can detect it's all one site.
I'm a little confused as to how it detects that, but basically it 'knows' that foo.livejournal.com is a separate site, but code.ipstenu.org is really not.
Hello all, and excuse me the intrusion, I got curious about the last comment, as Panda can spot if a parked domain is in fact part of a network. Does that mean that if you host your clients' websites, Google merges both sites statistic, rank, and such? Thanks in advance and sorry for the OT.

Typically, GPU makers would be disappointed with no
significant growth, but with the poor economy, it's a welcome change
from the significant declines other quarters have seen. Jon Peddie
Research (JPR) has unveiled its latest
numbers for the add-in GPU industry for Q2 2009. The numbers show
that 16.81 million add-in units were shipped, up 3% from the previous
quarter and down 15% from the same quarter in 2008.
had to be replenished over Q2 and JPR estimates that the
replenishment at least shadowed consumption or was a bit higher. With
the poor economy still hurting many consumers, sales in the GPU
market moved downstream. Most of the growth in the GPU market was in
the integrated segment with a 4% year-over-year increase in shipments
for the quarter. Lower cost discrete cards also saw modest
improvements according to JPR with higher cost discrete cards taking
the worst the quarter had to offer.
The quarter was the first
where AMD finally started to gain back some share from NVIDIA. JPR
reports that AMD's unit share rose from 31% in Q1 to 35% in Q2 with
NVIDIA seeing their share decline the same 4% to 64% overall. That
means that AMD took every bit of its growth from NVIDIA's
marketshare. NVIDIA and Intel GPU shipments did rebound
slightly in Q1 2009.
quote: . . . since I rotate my GPU cards between a dozen PC's I maintain for family and friends, it could mean trouble if I would add a ATI/AMD card to the line up. When using only Nvidia cards, I can just remove the old card, plug-in the new one, install the latest drivers and be done.
quote: I for one have been using Nvidia cards for some 10 years without any problems

Work backwards?
Maybe I did it wrong...what's the answer supposed to be?
x=first three digits
y= last four digits
20,000x +250->
20,000x +250 +y ->
20,000x +250 +2y ->
20,000x + 250 +2y -250 ->
10,000x +y ->
basically a lot of math to multiply the first three digits by 10,000 and then add the last four digits
So, as a forumla this is:
(((80x + 1) * 250 + 2y) - 250) * 0.5
where x is the first three digits of your phone number and y is the last four digits.
We can reduce this as follows:
0.5 * ((80x + 1) * 250 + 2y) - 125
(80x + 1) * 125 + y - 125
125 * 80x + 125 + y - 125
125 * 80x + y
10000x + y
Note that the effect of multiplying by 10000 is to shift the first three digits of your phone number left by four digits, effectively "making room" for the last four digits.
So really someone just did the simple thing (multiply by 10000) then factored in a bunch of silly ways to obfuscate what they were doing. That's pretty much the standard operating procedure for stuff like this.
1. Key in the first three digits of your phone number (NOT the area code)
2. Multiply by 10,000.
3. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number...
look familiar?
amazing!!! how can math possible do such amazing things???
A=prefix B=4 digit number
Formula [(80A + 1) x 250 +B +B -250]/2
Plug in A say 323 and it becomes 3230000 and B 7101 add them together and you get
Damn, you beat me to it. And it's not THAT arduous.
Well, they ask you for your phone number so they pretty much just make you jump through hoops before they give you back what you put in.
It's like a psychic telling you exactly what you've told them and making it sound like they already knew.
oh, those are arrows at the end. i realized too late that that looked weird.
1. Key in the first three digits of your phone number (NOT the area code)
2. Multiply by 10,000.
3. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number...
look familiar?
amazing!!! how can math possible do such amazing things???
Well, there seem to be a lot of steps added in just to make things seem more complicated than they are. You're actually just adding the last 4 digits of your telephone number (let's call them "defg") to the first 3 (called "abc") times 10000.
In other words: (abc x 10000) + defg = abcdefg.
I've broken it down into three parts where the puzzle maker tried to confound what's actually happening. Here they are:
20000/2 = 10000
10000x(abc)= abc0000
20250-250 = 20000
20000/2 = 10000
10000x(abc) = abc0000
3)(defg)+(defg) = 2d2e2f2g
2d2e2f2g = 2(defg)
2(defg)/2 = defg
abc0000+defg = abcdefg
I know that's not a very mathematically correct way to show how this works, but it makes sense to me.
As a case of obfuscation, though, it's pretty damned brilliant. At no point does a suspicious "1,000" or other large round number even enter the picture, and half of the operations seem designed to undo the damage you did by simply adding 1. Very nicely done!
Well done, fellow math nerds!
You will also note that the rule about not using the area code is pure stagecraft. But isn't that the whole point?
Oops, I guess what I said in post 14 isn't quite true; the effect wouldn't be as cool if you gave it your area code and the last four digits, then it just spat them right back out in order.
Won't some enterprising soul come up with a version that also incorporates the area code? Then it will look even more convoluted and impressive!
Wow, all these math nerds at the slog is kinda sexy!
Congratulations, Dude.
You've just given over your phone number to The Man.
i know!!! i'm crank calling
ABC-DEFG right now!!!
Math is hard
To paraphrase the late Mr. Vonnegut, if you think Arabs are stupid, remember that they gave us our numbers -- try doing that trick with Roman numerals.
arabs are stupid. after all, they're monotheists.
Wow, y'all's a bunch of math-e-ma-JISH-uns. PS-I wish I still had the frame of mind to figure that out. And I'm only 23. I've peaked.
Just for Dan - no help from the audience
Three businessmen need a hotel room (this is an old riddle) and the clerk gave them a room for $30 - after they went up he realized that he had overcharged for the room, it was really only twenty-five dollars. He called the bellhop over and sent him up with 5 one dollar bills to give the men a refund. The bellhop couldn't figure out how to divide the five among three so he gave them each one dollar and kept two for himself. So each of the men paid $9 dollars or a total of $27 and the bellhop has $2 for a total of $29 - what happened to the missing dollar?
Now give Dan some time.
@23: some kind of magic tax? This is what happens when Democrats control Congres....
Grab a calculator.
1. Key in the first three digits of your phone number (NOT the area code)
2. Multiply by LXXX
3. Add I
4. Multiply by CCL
5. Add the last IV digits of your phone number
6. Add the last IV digits of your phone number again
7. Subtract CCL
8. Divide by II
Recognize the answer?
@15: My maths rusty, but this version including the area code should work
1. Key in your area code
2. Add your area code again
3. Multiply by 500
4. Add the first three digits of your phone number (NOT the area code)
5. Multiply by 80
6. Add 1
7. Multiply by 250
8. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number
9. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number again
10. Subtract 250
11. Divide by 2
where exactly is this $25 room? i'd le the bellhop keep the $2 for that price. i mean, have you seen rental rates lately?
I'm just impressed that really smart people have as much time to waste as I do reading this blog and all the comments.
I know the missing dollar answer. Is Dan stoned yet?
All math tricks are purdy much the same. Not impressive.
I give up. Someone explain the hotel thing to me. I always use Priceline, so I never get refunds -- is that why I can't work this out?
The hotel riddle basically screws your head by purposely mixing up information. There's no missing dollar. The bellhop's $2 comes out of the $27 total that was paid.
From the businessmen's perspective, they paid the hotel $10 each and each received a $1 back. So the hotel got $27 and they have the remaining $3. (3x9)+(3x1)=27+3=30
From the bellboy's perspective, the hotel got $25, he skimmed $2 and the remaining $3 went to the business men. 25+2+3=30
I dont get it?

How to Decorate Your New Room
Did you or your family move to a new place? Or, maybe a sibling went to college or a housemate moved out and now you get their room! Awesome! But, what if you are stuck on how to decorate it? Some of this works for any room but it is focused on bedrooms. Read on from step number one below for exactly how to decor your new room.
1Paint the walls. Look at the size of the room- if it's small, don't paint it a dark color, it will make it feel smaller. Go to a paint store and pick up a few samples. Ask yourself questions as you observe each color (i.e. Is this color so bright that you won't be able to sleep at night?) Consider wall paper. You can have a feature wall or decorate all the wall with a stylish wallpaper. Use a border too, or instead if you wish
2Pick your bed frame. White is always nice- so is wrought iron. Maybe you want a dark, wooden bed frame- or even a round bed. You decide, it is your decision. You may not be inclined to include purchasing a new bed frame in your new room decorating activities. That's fine. You can use your existing bed in your new room.
3Pick your bedding. Throws, blankets, bedspreads, duvet covers etc are a big part of the look and feel of a new room. Pick something comfortable, and if your walls are light pink, don't make the duvet neon yellow. Remember, colors don't have to exactly match, but they should look nice together.
4Pick your other furniture. It should match the bed frame. If you get a desk, it's always cute if you put up some bright wallpaper behind it. Maybe you could get some paint and paint polka dots on your dresser, or stripes on your desk.
5Get small accessories for your room. For example, a vase with a flower on your desk, a cute lamp on your bedside table, or an enormous clock on the wall. Don't put lots of posters and pictures on your walls, your room will feel cluttered. Instead, buy a cork board and some thumbtacks- put only your favorite pictures on it. You can find DIY projects on YouTube.
6Choose window dressings. Decide if you want curtains or blinds.
7Add your own flair. Make the room yours! Just remember not to do anything that makes your room feel small and cluttered, and clean it out every week!!

- Don't make your room dark and depressing!
- Make sure to check with your parents before you do something like paint your walls.
- Don't crowd your room. Make sure you have a lot of space in the middle of your room so you can dance, do yoga, or paint a picture.
- Let the room represent your personality.
- Look up DIY ideas and try them.
- Draw out a plan on a blank white sheet of paper of what your room will look like when completely refurnished and redecorated.

Collis, O'Cain best picks for city
Published: Sunday, October 30, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, October 30, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
Hendersonville voters have a chance to put some new blood on the City Council when they go to the polls Nov. 8.
Incumbents Mary Jo Padgett and Ron Stephens vacated their seats to run for mayor. Voters have a strong field of three candidates to choose from -- Jeff Collis, J. Crit Harley and Bill O'Cain.
We think Collis and O'Cain deserve the opportunity to bring some fresh ideas and new perspectives to the council.
All three candidates are long-time residents of the city. The 36-year-old Collis, who ran for the council two years ago, is a native who grew up here and whose father ran for mayor back in 1977.
O'Cain, 59, also a native, earned his architecture degree from Clemson University and returned home to set up a practice. He has been on the city Planning Board for 10 years, the last seven as chairman.
Harley, 58, came to Hendersonville in 1976 to work at Pardee Hospital as an emergency room doctor. He now has a private practice in stress management counseling.
Harley was appointed to the council in 1996 to serve out the term of Dan McGraw and then won a two-year term. He lost his re-election bid but was re-appointed when T. Lee Osborne died. Harley decided not to run when that term ended in 2001.
All three candidates agreed that the city needs more policemen, but only Harley is bold enough to acknowledge that the cost could require a tax increase.
"I'm not opposed to raising taxes if that is how we keep the quality of life the way we want it," he said.
All three candidates cautiously support the Mill Center. They all say parking needs addressing, although Harley is dubious about a parking deck. "Those things are getting to be very expensive," he says.
Collis, a probation officer for the state courts, says he's open to the Mill Center project "but I have to say I have heard a lot more negative about it than positive."
He suggests sharing with the churches the cost of putting a parking deck on the city's Dogwood lot, thinks the city should do more to help small businesses thrive and likes the idea of more people downtown. But he calls the proposed Sunflower Residences condos a poor fit because it exceeds the height limit.
"I would be open to look at the ordinance," Collis said, "but that particular building, I would have to vote against it."
As he did two years ago, Collis says he senses that the council is out of touch with its constituents -- whether in neighborhoods or the business community. His solution is non-specific but he makes a cheerful promise.
"I just want to make myself available," he says. "I want to be the most active member of the council."
His youth and energy would be a valuable addition to the council.
O'Cain supports renewing the city's agreement to subsidize the Mill Center at $100,000 a year -- with a stipulation that organizers raise a certain amount of money before the city pays.
Developments like the Sunflower Residences, he says, will make downtown livelier and more attractive to young people.
"The city has to decide if we want to be a low-rise or a high-rise city and must consider how that would affect that district around the courthouse," he says.
O'Cain has loads of experience with the Planning Board and wants to continue improving relations between the city and county.
In a basic way these two candidates are opposites -- an insider and an outsider. But given that there are two open seats, it would be constructive to bring on O'Cain's extensive planning portfolio and Collis's fresh outlook and challenge of the status quo.
For that reason, we urge voters to choose Jeff Collis and Bill O'Cain in the Nov. 8 general election for the City Council.

Countries from four continents were affiliated over the next ten years. Today the IJF has 200 National Federations on all continents.
