How are you today, Magpie? I've spent the morning unraveling a failed knitting project and now trying to decide what to do with the yarn.
I just got back from Manu's place - spent the weekend talking about stories, trying to find a café for NaNoWriMo write-ins, and winding yarn into balls - I have space in my yarn box again, yay! No time to knit, though, not until December.
I have about 2 dozen boxes for yarn. If I ever run out of room, go ahead and send in a rescue team.
*blinks*Two dozen...?Oh wait, I have over hundred plants. I shouldn't talk.Actually, I really shouldn't talk, but go to bed.
Sleep well Magpie!!!
Knitting, with a pot roast in the oven.
Next project - toe-up socks with a provisional cast-on. The thought of a seamless toe appeals to me.
I has begun research on my essay. I'm analysing the effects Irans nuclear weapons program has on regional and global security in the face of growing opposition.Not a complicated topic at all... :S-X
Augh. Computer is making very strange sounds - wanted to write a bit before work, but instead I'm continuing with the monstrous task of backing up everything (which, luckily, I started last week). *worries*
Gah. And thanks to this, I've now forgotten to make myself some tea to bring to work. *shivers*
No tea is bad!I assume its especially bad in a European winter where you guys have that frozen water stuff that falls out of the sky instead of rain.-X
Maen Mint!*sends Libra tons of wellwishes and luck*
*hellos the Mint*Gots everything crossed for you Libra!!!! Sounds like an exciting opportunity.Back at work. *le sigh*
Yeah, I know the feeling. Waiting to hear from a recruiter, waiting to hear back from Oracle about my exam (which I'm pretty sure I failed two months ago), trying to get some code to work...
My In Box seems to have run amok in the three days I was gone.
*grumbles* No progress at all today. I spent all of today trying to find out how that stupid repository is supposed to be working. Or rather how the search functionality is supposed to work. And now I'm hungry and grumpy.
*feeds Sahi*

It's not quite that cold yet, but it can be decidedly uncomfortable already. Last week, the shop (where I sit during my lunchbreak) had about 13°C. 16 or 17 if I remembered to close the door half an hour before my break, and open the door to the warmer greenhouse.Luckily, it was quite warm today. And there were customers. Who gave tips.
Yay for tips!I've been fed in the mean time, but the hunger isn't quite gone. The reason? No candy at all today. My body is telling me that it doesn't like the reduction in sugars. But my scales tell me it's necessary.
I'm frantically sorting through my photos. I want work on a story, but I want to finish this first, because my computer is making weird sounds, and everything needs to be backed up, and I don't really want backup copies of crappy pictures.*glares at computer*I just had to buy a new printer, so don't you dare stop working, too!
And now my monitor is making popping sounds. What is this, the self-destruction mechanism because the warranty has run out?
Do ye see any Wee Blue Men around, Magpie?Crivens!

Get ready to cruise the spring! Car is in excellent shape. I purchased it from a private party in 5/08, with just under 30K miles. It came with all factory options, except GPS. Options include M-Sport suspension (lowered), heated seats, rain sensing wipers, power top, xenon lights, premium sound system, and so on. New Stuff: It has a new set of Continental Extreme Contact 225/45/17 tires with less than 50 miles on them. It had a proper four wheel alignment at a German specialty shop (Auto Haus in Yorktown, VA) – corners were weighted, seats were weighted, etc. Rear center brake light is new (they tend to crack on these cars). Windshield trim and cowl trim pieces are new (they also tend to crack over time). Extras: Clear acrylic wind blocker; center arm rest; center console parcel net; installed battery tender; space saver spare with cover and BMW jack kit; aftermarket electric air pump. I have Griot Garage wax and polishing system available. I also have Peake Research reset tool available. Maintenance items: Fresh oil change using Castrol full synthetic 5w30, with Bosch oil filter, new air filter. Ceramic brake pads last summer, so no brake dust on the wheels. Steering rack was replaced by BMW in 2010 due to "sticky steering" issue (Look this up on the Roadfly.com e85 z4 board if you are not familiar with the issue – it occurs only in hot weather areas. The previous owner lived in Toledo, OH, and never had an issue with it.) Power top motor was replaced by BMW in 2010 also. Car has never been tracked or raced. Owned by a non-smoker. Has been mechanically reliable, and driven easily. If you've never owned a roadster, you need to put this on your bucket list |

Current Research Interests
Early embryonic development is governed by an exquisite interplay of genes that organizes cells as they proliferate. Signals flow between cells to control their fates; information inherited by the cells influences their responses to the signals. Transcription factors necessary for forming particular parts of the bodysuch as head-to-tail differences, heart, eyes, or nervous systemhave remained dedicated to those tasks through evolution. Similarly, the genes and proteins that code for signals, signal receptors, and information transfer within the cell have been preserved. We study evolutionarily conserved regulators in flies and in mice to learn how the embryo is constructed and how pattern-organizing genetic programs arose, function, and change. Genetic damage to developmental regulators can lead to cancer, birth defects, and neurodegeneration; we study all of these processes in the context of the development of the mammalian cerebellum.
The Hedgehog Signaling System in Development and Cancer
The evolutionarily conserved Hedgehog (Hh) signaling system is used in most animals to control the embryonic development of numerous tissues, such as brain and spinal cord, limbs, skeleton, and skin. We study how the Hh protein signal is received, transduced, and interpreted, using mice and flies. We study how Hh signaling controls cell differentiation and patterning in structures as diverse as the fly wing and the developing mammalian cerebellum. Mutations in human PATCHED (PTCH), which encodes the Hh receptor, cause birth defects and medulloblastoma of the cerebellum, the most common childhood malignant brain tumor. PTCH mutations caused by UV lead to basal cell carcinoma of the skin, the most common human cancer. We are using mutant ptc mouse models to investigate how normal cerebellum cells become tumor cells. Using high-throughput sequencing and chromatin analyses, we have identified batteries of genes that are directly regulated by Hh signals in normal and cancerous cells. We are studying mechanisms of selective target gene control, and how the targets contribute to normal development or cancer. We are studying detailed mechanisms of Hh signal transduction, particularly the roles of primary cilia, remarkable organelles where Hh signals are transduced. We have identified new components of Hh signaling and are investigating their roles. In collaboration with Professor Josh Elias, we are using mass spectrometry to characterize early events in responses to Hh signaling. In collaboration with Professor W.E. Moerner, we are analyzing the movements of single protein molecules during Hh transduction. In collaboration with researchers at BGI and with Professor Serafim Batzoglou we are analyzing genome alterations that occur during the growth of mouse and human cancers, employing single-cell exome sequencing.
Biology of the Niemann-Pick type C syndrome, a neurodegenerative and lysosome storage disorder
Children mutant in either of the two NPC genes undergo neurodegeneration and usually die by the teenage years. Mutant cells accumulate masses of sterols in aberrant organelles due to defective intracellular trafficking. In humans and mice, NPC disease causes the death of the Purkinje neurons of the cerebellum and damage to other tissues. We have engineered mice in which labeled, functional NPC proteins can be provided to specific cell types in otherwise mutant mice, thus allowing analyses of cell type-specific components of the overall pathology, and analyses of the movements and functions of NPC proteins within cells. We have created two different models of the disease in Drosophila in order to apply genetics to identifying and analyzing interacting genes. Our goals are to learn the mechanisms of NPC protein actions, and to learn how NPC proteins preserve functions and survival of specific cell types. We are using Drosophila genetics to identify interacting genes that may affect NPC protein functions.

Nexus 4 now on sale in the US Google Play Store (sold out?)
0. phoneArena posted on 13 Nov 2012, 10:38
We have been watching the release of the Nexus 4 around the world and the demand has been extraordinary. Now, the Nexus 4 is finally on sale in the Google Play Store in the US, so you'd better move fast if you want to buy one...

I got mine right off the bat. Been refreshing the page every 5 mins since 8am. lol
the 16 gig is 387 with all taxes and shipping.. 2 day shipping.
Hoping that its early enough that it ships out today and arrives tommorow.
So.. I never got an email from Google about its launch.. why did we "sign up for updates" again? lol

I was also online till about 230am last night in hopes of a early morning release.
Hey, you wierdos sit in front of iphone stores for days to get one. These things are selling out in minutes. At least I didnt have to leave the comfort of my office.
I NEED a new phone, its not just about want. Had to beat the crowds.

When you checked out did it go past the "your purchase will complete momentarily" I'm stuck on that page. Already clicked accept and buy though. Do you receive conformation right away?
8. Aeires (unregistered) posted on 13 Nov 2012, 10:56 1
Same for me, no email notification of purchase.
14. andreagaru214 posted on 13 Nov 2012, 11:03 0
I checked to see in my play account if it had successfully went through and it hadn't so I refreshed and it finally went through. I checked my bank statement to make sure.
13. Aeires (unregistered) posted on 13 Nov 2012, 11:02 0
I'm still waiting for confirmation but I called my bank account and a debit for the amount of the phone was issued. Hopefully it was processed before they run out.
24. remixfa posted on 13 Nov 2012, 11:15 0
I got confirmation right away because I clicked the order button at 1132 when I got back from making new coffee. It went in and out in like 10 seconds and had it ordered with confirmation email.
helps that I have my CC on file with google play. just tapped like 2 or 3 buttons and it was ordered.
44. Aeires (unregistered) posted on 13 Nov 2012, 12:23 1
I refreshed at 11:35, then started the order. Took me numerous tries and at one point I wasn't sure if I had bought two phones, or none. A guy on Android Police suggested checking into your Wallet account to check and it was confirmed for a purchase of 1 phone. Having my cc on file probably helped as well.
I feel for the people who kept trying, I could tell the servers were taking massive traffic hits. I guess if someone as large as Google is having traffic issues, the popularity of this device must be massive. Gotta be a good sign for things to come in the Android camp.

In my country (Belgium) we can't buy the Nexus 4 nor the Nexus 10. Europe is a developing region to google (apart from France and Germany then). LG has decided not to sell the Nexus 4 at all, not even outside the Playstore.
So get lost LG! I'll never buy any of your products! Discriminating s*ns of b*tches!
40. BadAssAbe posted on 13 Nov 2012, 12:08 0
The Nexus 10 is form Samsung
LG did make the Nexus 4 but google is the one selling them.
Just like any products you buy, they may contain LG parts.
This one product called nexus 4 however was a lot of LG Parts.
Best of luck to everyone
remember maybe its a good thing you couldn't get the nexus 4/10 this week because now you have time to look for a good case before you accidentally drop your new nexus the 1st day you get it like my friend.
No worries the phone was fine just dented a little
51. toondewachter posted on 14 Nov 2012, 11:00 0
Ok, I mixed up with Samsung and LG (my bad ;-) )
But LG is the one pulling the strings on whether or not the Nexus 4 is sold out of the Playstore or not. Why do you think it won't be sold in Taiwan? Why do you think the US price outside the Playstore is $499? That's not determined by Google in any way!
If you're not convinced yet, it was LG who first told us that the device was going to come at the end of this month and it was LG who told that the device won't be sold in the Benelux at all. If this was up to Google, why didn't they make all the announcements?
I am not an idiot and I know that LG produces parts for many other vendors. They make excellent screens for Apple e.g.
Apart from the fact that your post was quite offensive, you just ridiculed my actual point here: I am angry! It's not fair that Google decided to allow sale of the Nexus 4 in just a few countries (through Playstore). And if sales are allowed by LG outside the playstore, the price is set unreasonably high!
Point is that either way the European mainland always has to pay more for the same product (except for France and Germany, which are apparently of more value to international companies).
The only exception is ASUS for now! They had the decency to sell the Nexus 7 for the same price as it can be found in the Playstore. Thank you for that, ASUS, at least one fair company!
If ASUS can, so can LG! But they won't, cause all they want is to make lots of profit! The way I see it, this was their opportunity to make a good name here, and they've just ruined all by themselves! Good job, LG!
52. BadAssAbe posted on 14 Nov 2012, 12:18 0
What about the nexus 10?
Thats all samsung and Google, you cant blame it all on LG if ever the Nexus 10 wont sell in your country.
If google sells the the Nexus 7 in your country then I believe its only a matter of time before you also get to buy the 4 and 10.
Even the iPhone5's cant keep up with demands, how do you expect a lesser known phone to?
LG just makes the phones like any other product, the playstore is ran by google only, i doubt LG, ASUS, HTC, and Samsung have any input on who gets to buy first besides their own country.
55. toondewachter posted on 15 Nov 2012, 10:26 0
I am sorry, but what country or planet are you from? I already apologized for the mix-up with Samsung!
Now to get this straight: ASUS is selling the Nexus 7 in the Benelux and Samsung decided not to sell the Nexus 10, LG decided not to sell the Nexus 4. Google decided not to offer the Playstore for devices here.
Clear now?
And for the record: these manufactureres do have a say about pricing outside the playstore and can decide themselves whether or not THEY will sell the devices and at what price.
So stop acting like you know it all, like I would be an idiot! I have the right to be pissed off at LG! Cause they're the ones responsible for the Nexus 4!

Started the process as soon as this post went up, and just got a continued circle of error messages on two browsers and countless attempts. Great job Google! Can't buy it in any store, and your website is crap. This might push me to just get a Galaxy III instead. Just walk into a Best Buy, and voila. Phone in hand. What a concept.

Here is why Apple will fall, very very soon.
They are selling the unlocked iPhone 4 for $450. The iPhone 4! Not even the 4S. This phone is more powerful than the iPhone 5, and it's $300.
Apple's marketing strategy will fail now. Enough is enough.

nexus 4 suck
54. spideyman409 posted on 14 Nov 2012, 21:27 0
I agree. What's the point of having a "great" phone and not have enough of them at launch. I think they jumped the gun with low actual production units. Nexus 4 doesn't suck, but google sucks for announcing the phone, making you wait 2 weeks and not have any units at launch.
Please post if/when you receive your nexus 4. I think there's a conspiracy. Google made a phone with 8 cores, 4 gb of ram, 64 gb HD and lasts 3 days on one charge. It's so much better than >>>>>>iPhone 5 but you'll never know cause there aren't any available.

U.S. Supreme Court rules for PPL in foreign tax case
By a unanimous 9-0 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a federal appeals court ruling on that had denied PPL's claim of a credit against its U.S. income taxes for a "windfall tax" paid to the government of the United Kingdom. In the decision, the Supreme Court ruled that "the economic substance of the U.K. windfall tax is that of a U.S. income tax ... therefore the tax is creditable... We agree with PPL and conclude that the predominant character of the windfall tax is that of an excess profits tax, a category of income tax in the U.S. sense," the court wrote in its opinion. "The U.S. tax code allows companies to claim a credit for payment of foreign taxes that are similar in substance to U.S. income taxes. We have held throughout the process that because the U.K. windfall tax was based on income, it should therefore be creditable against our U.S. income taxes. We are pleased not only that the Supreme Court agreed, but that the agreement was unanimous," said Robert Grey, PPL executive vice president, general counsel and secretary.
Ruling on PPL may have positive read-through for other utilities, Reuters says
The Supreme Court ruled PPL (PPL) can claim $39M in U.S. foreign tax credits against a 1997 British windfall tax and other utility companies, like Entergy (ETR) and American Electric Power (AEP), are in the same position, having been hit by the windfall tax after they acquired British utility companies that were later privatized, reported Reuters.

Recently, I came across Alex Girón's experiment with CSS3 and @font-face
. It really captivated my mind and intrigued myself with the possibility of creating good banners with just some html code and css attributes. So I quickly fixed up my own experiment to satisfy my curiosity.
The idea was to spread a list of square boxes behind a random quote. So I decided to use an ul
list and style each li to random width boxes and spread even more sparsely. Then I used a function to color them with varying intensity and creamed on it more transparency using the opacity
attribute. Some -*-transform
and a good font substitution was in line until I was almost there.

JACKSON, Wyo. — Work in Jackson Hole is erasing the lingering imprint of agriculture, reclaiming a half square mile of hayfield and returning the land to its natural condition.
The Grand Teton National Park program is killing invasive smooth brome grasses and revegetating with native forbs, grasses and sagebrush that benefit wildlife. The program will eventually restore 4,500 acres near Kelly and Antelope Flats. The 15-year job is only about 7 percent complete.
"Every year we're able to do a little bit more," Grand Teton plant biologist Jason Brengle said. "We're really ramping up our efforts on this."
Restoration work next year will focus on killing invasive grasses and weeds in the Teton Valley Ranch, Warm Creek, Hunter and Elbo areas, according to a funding proposal Brengle submitted to the Upper Snake River Basin Sage-Grouse Working Group. The area will then be reseeded.
The working group approved $28,200 for the job, and the National Park Service will contribute another $57,500 during 2013 and 2014.
All told, Brengle and Grand Teton technicians will treat 777 acres in 2013 and clean up remaining smooth brome grass on another 320 acres that were treated and reseeded in past years.
Reseeding in 2013 will take place on another 200 acres that were treated with an herbicide solution that uses 3 percent glyphosphate.
Smooth brome, used to make hay when livestock roamed near Kelly and Antelope Flats, is an "aggressive, nonnative grass" that has become the dominant plant species throughout the once-irrigated rangeland, Brengle said.
"It's a monoculture of smooth brome," he tells the Jackson Hole News & Guide (http://bit.ly/Tapp4B). "A monoculture of anything is really not healthy."
During the spring, biologists have about 10 days to remove the brome while it's going to seed and at its most vulnerable.
Sagebrush is naturally re-establishing on some of its former turf, but it's a slow process and doesn't result in productive habitat, Brengle said.
"Where the sagebrush has moved back into the smooth brome, it looks diverse, but it's not," he said.
Rangeland restoration in Grand Teton is guided primarily by the 2007 Bison and Elk Management Plan, which also covers the National Elk Refuge. Although the plan was created to enrich habitat for elk and deer, it's also beneficial for sage grouse and other sagebrush-dependent species.
On parcels that were reseeded in 2010 and 2011, Brengle has seen sagebrush up to 10 inches tall by the end of the following growing season.
"Within the first five years, sage grouse are going to be using it," Brengle said. "They probably will right away, on some level. Just from personal experience, you see sage grouse using the fringes of these areas. They want to be in there."
The Moulton sage grouse lek — Jackson Hole's largest — is hugged by the hayfields. GPS data acquired by Kelly-based Craighead Beringia South show that the grouse generally shun the hayfields but congregate at their fringes.
Bryan Bedrosian, a Beringia South biologist, said restoration of the Kelly and Antelope Flats rangeland will benefit grouse throughout Jackson Hole.
"It's going to impact more than the Moulton Lek," Bedrosian said. "It's an important use area for pretty much all the birds in the valley, especially in the winter."
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is reviewing the sage grouse for Endangered Species Act protection, with a decision expected in 2015. Jackson Hole's grouse numbers have been stable for the past decade, but the population is small. This spring the sage grouse working group tallied 128 male grouse in the valley's nine known leks.

2012's worst words
Try as you might to avoid them, these irksome terms likely crept into your vocabulary.
No matter the conscious resistance that we mount, buzzwords have a way of worming into our vocabulary like lexical pathogens. Each year certain phrases become the communicable disease of our discourse.
You may roll your eyes when your "hipster" colleague refers to something as "artisanal," but hours later you'll be gushing over vegan chicken broth bouillon cubes that can only be described as "glocal" for reasons obscure to you and to the person whom you've made your unfortunate confidant.
Some expressions seem to exist only to make us realize that we are no less obnoxious than anyone else. Everyone is susceptible to trends in talk. At the Atlantic Wire, Jen Doll glosses the year's most overused and loathsome vernacular. You may want to strike some of these words from your vocabulary in the new year, if you can.
More from Living: 20 Pinterest crafting 'fails'
The verb "curate" gets called out for dressing up the mundane act of aggregating web content. Many sites claimed to be masterful custodians of crowd-sourced material in 2012. But a word that connotes the careful selection of works for a museum hardly applies to sites whose primary goal is to amass free content.
The presidential election provided plenty of opportunities for "gaffes" and the use of that noun.
"Fiscal cliff", a combination of expiring tax cuts and government spending cuts scheduled to become effective Dec. 31, was also featured ad nauseum in our political discourse, and looks to continue to.
More from Living: Ugly holiday sweaters
Then there was the unfortunate suggestion of "legitimate rape" that also surfaced this election year.
Several perennial adverbs and adjectives made the list for overuse: "historic," "epic," "actually" and "literally" being obvious cases of depleted meaning.
Internet culture spawned the "meme", a short phrase or picture that goes viral, and this year's Oxford American Dictionary word "GIF", which stands for Graphics Interchange Format.
Online conversational expressions such as "jeah" and the sinister laugh "hehehe" also make the Atlantic Wire's list. So did the acronyms "YOLO" (you only live once) and "TLDR" (too long, didn't read).

Toddler Park In Carlstadt NJ
I saw a great nanny today, (10/17) and had to share! This woman was in her mid-30's. Red-blonde curly hair, heavyset with a red shirt and green slacks. Her charge was named Mat, a little boy who is almost 3 (nanny told me when I asked) He was wearing Jeans with a design on one leg and a nice stadium jacket. Nanny was very active and attentive to her little boy. In fact, nothing indicated she was his nanny and I thought she was his mom until I asked her how old her son was and she said almost three but he's not my son, I am his babysitter. She had juice for him to drink, snacks for him when he got hungry, and was very involved in playing with him and interacting with him. She gave him just enough space to be independent and climb on his own, but was there for him whenever she was wanted or needed. When it was time for him to go and her charge sat down and said "NO!" and began to cry, nanny lovingly got down beside him and spoke very softly to him. Mat stood, still crying a bit but much more under control and nanny praised him to the sky saying what a "big boy" and thanking him for showing her such "Nice walking" They left the park, on foot, heading up towards Division Street. If this is your nanny you are very lucky. I am sorry I did not get her number!

Great post!!!......It's refreshing to see some people will take their job seriously. Thanks OP.

Great sighting OP!
- Oct 17, 2007, 3:12:00 PM
Matt is usually spelled Matt. Did she discuss the spelling with you? Or are you Mat's nanny?
- Oct 17, 2007, 4:42:00 PM
- Alicia said...
Op-whether you are Mat(t)'s nanny or not, it's good to know that there are caregivers out there that actually understand child developement. - Oct 17, 2007, 6:55:00 PM
I am the OP and no I am not MATT'S nanny. I did however, spend my summers working chance stands at the Jersey shore where the names were spelled in 3 letters or less (i.e. Joe, Tom, Mom, Nat, Jen, Mat...etc ...etc.) Force of habit!
- Oct 17, 2007, 8:06:00 PM
Amanda and SuperAmanda - My nanny is 10 years younger than me. She is from Russia and has a degree in early childhood development.
I don't think one needs to be US born to be a good nanny. Nor do I believe one needs to be close to my age.
I do believe it is only appropriate to hire a professional nanny rather than a babysitter. - Oct 17, 2007, 8:29:00 PM
Why is it some of you just can't stand to see a good nanny sighting?
We don't know which spelling this boy uses. Your response is rediculous.
Nice post OP. - Oct 17, 2007, 9:20:00 PM
Nice sighting! Thanks OP :)
- Oct 17, 2007, 10:55:00 PM
Amanda and SuperAmanda- LOL, not all employers are slimey.
Yes, I pay the employer portion of FICA. I pay FUTA and SUTA. She is here legally - I have a W-9 in my file. I pay for half of her health insurance, she pays for the other half. That is something we struggle with as it is not very good coverage (in my opinion).
As I stated, she is a professional nanny. - Oct 18, 2007, 9:03:00 AM
YOU Wanted her number???? you would steal the nanny from another family??? what lesson are you trying to teach your kids??????
EVIL EVIL EVIL - Oct 18, 2007, 10:08:00 PM
YOU are EVIL!
I actually stay home and raise my own kids!. We dont have the largest home or most expensive car but my kids have ME!
I was sorry I didn't speak more to her about the possibility of sitting on occasion for my husband and I should we want to enjoy an evening out without imposing on family.
YOU must be EVIL since it is clear how YOUR mind works. God but there are some WITCHES on this site! I let it pass when the snarky comment about the spelling of the child's name was made but some of you people are too much! No wonder this site is dying. I will never post here again because who wants to be put through the inquisition because they posted to a blog. - Oct 18, 2007, 11:12:00 PM
- Jane Doe said...
Your post was wonderful. I love to read great nanny sightings. Except in cases of racism or extreme profanity, I do try not to censor the comments. Yes, some nastiness gets through. It is regrettable, but we aren't dying. Just weathering another influx... - Oct 18, 2007, 11:15:00 PM
I love the fact that you stay home and raise your own kids!!! More mothers on this site need to sign off the internet and go read to their kids...while we spend time on this site bashing the shotty performance of some caretakers, we ourselves are not taking care of our own children!! just something to keep in mind!!!
xoxo love you ladies!!! - Oct 19, 2007, 6:58:00 AM
what do you mean you "love the fact that you raise your own kids"?
that's what everyone is SUPPOSED to do
if you want to work and devote your whole life to work
DON"T HAVE KIDS because they'll end up being raised by a COMPLETE stranger and they'll hate you for it - Oct 19, 2007, 12:22:00 PM
12:22 - Some parents work and are still good parents. A working parent does not mean a parent who has checked out on parenting.
Different strokes for different folks, right? - Oct 19, 2007, 3:33:00 PM
Checked out is a good definition for "parents" who work without it being an ABSOLUTE NECESSITY.
So you hire a nanny to raise your kids while your are "working?" Isn't nannying also a job? But is being the one to do the job of raising your kids too beneath you? So you hire somebody to do your parenting job while you go out and do a "more satisfying job?" Nice. - Oct 19, 2007, 6:13:00 PM
11:12, I think it is great you stay home with your kids. I do too and would have it no other way. But you cannot take the comments to heart.
Some people thrive on chaos and controversy; other people just have fun with it; and still more are here for more serious reasons. I think most of us are a combo of all three.
I know all too well how hard it can be to not take things personally, especially when it seems you are personally attacked. I've been there and it took me some time to get over it, but I did and you will too.
Stick around a while. You just mind find you like at least some of us! - Oct 20, 2007, 2:41:00 AM
You are right I shouldn't let what people say on here get to me some people are just nasty and miserble and I appreciate the non-censorship, I really do!
As an update, I bumped into the nanny again Thursday. She was pushing MATT or Mat (Still didn't ask the spelling! :D in a double stroller with his twin sister Sammy Or SAMMIE) I got her number because again she was doing a great job with the kids. She gave me her references over the phone today and I plan to call them and especially let The twins mom know what a great job she is doing! - Oct 20, 2007, 1:29:00 PM
1:29...that's awesome! Good for you.
- Oct 21, 2007, 1:02:00 AM
- Allison said...
I see a lot of paranoid people on this site worrying about their childcare, and rightly so. Why would you entrust your precious children to some stranger?? You don't really know what goes on. As a parent, why are you not interested in raising your own children?? I'm sorry but if you can afford a nanny, that means you can afford to stay home. You might have to give up the fancy car or whatever. Is a car or some other luxury more important than your kid? That is essentially the choice you are making. Don't be surprised when you have problems later with your kid or they're not all that attached to you. I know my kid loves me, not some stranger in my home.

At least I asked a legitimate question, what did you contribute?
At least I asked a legitimate question, what did you contribute?
If you have POJOs, than contract doesn't have choice - it has to come last
I also like another approach (it works in enterprise project, which was developed in several days, but it has to be maintained forever) - I call it "contract first and implementation first) - I write WSDLs/XSDs and POJOs with JAXB annotations and interfaces with Spring-WS (@Action) annotations. All by hand. It gives me freedom, control and satisfaction
Grzegorz Grzybek
Fully agree Grzegorz. Many of the Rapid Application Development Tools can save a bunch of time and many like Roo actually adhere to some pretty decent practices. But your "maintained forever" often leads me to spend the time to do it "by hand" which at least lets me touch all the code and put it in memory (my brain) for later. I was asking just in case someone had a tool or technique with Spring WS that was as good or better than the Apache CXF tools to go from Pojo to basic WSDL. Then use Spring WS to implement services from that.
thanks for sharing nice information

Anyone have any insight into using Spring WS with Spring Roo DBRE? Since the Entity class is empty from the DBRE, and all the fields are in the DBManaged.aj aspect, I don't quite know where to start to generate a WSDL/SOAP interface into the CRUD operations of the Entity.
I suppose I can hand code the WSDL but i have many complex Entities so that seams daunting. I thought of mocking up the entity classes then using CXF to generate the code against the mockups, test and then change the reference from the mock to the DBRE generated entity, but I get an uneasy feeling thinking about it. I thought about using CXF to generate the code, then change the code into an Aspect and adding an annotation to that aspect to the DBRE generated entities.
It would be wonderful if someone had a Roo plugin for Spring WS to add a command like
springws --class ~.model.SomeClass --package ~.service --wsdl c:/temp/SomeClass.wsdl
or a Roo plugin for CXF
cxfjava2wsdl --class ~.model.SomeClass --package ~.service --operations CRUD
cxfwsdl2java --file c:/temp/SomeClass.wsdl --package ~.service

We stayed here for our honeymoon and had a beautiful time. The suite was luxurious and complimentary buffet breakfast was a real treat. The spa took a very long time to fill us, due to the slow water pressure, but other than that it was excellent. The rooms were very modern and tastefully decorated.

South Africa Retail Report Q4 2012
Report description
The South African Retail Report examines the long-term potential of the local consumer market, but flags short-term concerns about the impact on South Africa's economic outlook of shrinking exports.
The report examines how best to maximise returns in the South African retail market while minimising investment risk, and also explores the impact of the weak global growth environment and potentially high investor risk aversion on the South African consumer and on the ability of producers and exporters to realise returns in the short term.
The report also analyses the growth and risk management strategies being employed by the leading players in the South African retail sector, as they seek to maximise the growth opportunities offered by the local market.
South African per capita consumer spending is forecast to increase by 43% to 2016, compared with a regional growth average of only 2%. The country comes first (out of seven) in BMI's MEA Retail Risk/Reward Ratings, although it underperforms for Risk.
Among all retail categories, autos will be the outperformer through to 2016 in growth terms, with unit sales forecast to increase by 75.3% between 2012 and 2016, from an expected 686,456 units in 2012 to 1,203,316 units in 2016. The size of the country, significant rural land coverage and the agricultural sector will continue to provide a substantial market for four-wheel drive vehicles, light pickups and SUVs.
In the competitive arena, BMI sees upside potential in the Automotive Production and Development Programme, which replaces the existing MIDP in 2013. This offers incentives to manufacturers investing in local production, and could boost output.
Over the last quarter, BMI has revised the following forecasts/views:
?? BMI holds to its view for South Africa to see tepid growth over the medium term, forecasting that real GDP will expand by 2.5% in 2012 and 3.3% in 2013, with risks weighted to the downside. Although private consumption should hold up relatively well, serious headwinds from the global economy will inevitably take their toll on growth.
?? BMI is relatively positive on private consumption in South Africa, forecasting real growth of 2.8% in 2012, and 3.3% in 2013, following a 5.0% expansion in 2011. Although our figures suggest a notable slowdown, we highlight that, given the bleak outlook for the global economic environment, the numbers are fairly decent. Retail sales in South Africa rose 8.3% in June 2012 from a year earlier, compared with a 1.2% decline in the euro region. Spending on clothing and footwear in South Africa totalled US$10.5bn in 2011, according to the central bank.

Your first hour with any tutor is always 100% refundable!
Hey everyone! My name is Nicole, and I'm a sophomore at UCLA. I'm working on a psychology major and a conservation biology minor. I love studying biology, psychology, paleontology, and Supreme Court cases. When I came to UCLA, I started tutoring high school students who were learning English as a second language. I was fairly nervous about tutoring (and waking up at 6 in the morning to tutor!), but I began to understand how students learn. I learned how to take complicated subjects and break them down into understandable, bite-size pieces. I taught students memory tricks and study habits that got me through high school, as well as college classes. I learned how to get students actively involved in the learning process, and how to relate academic subjects to things that happen in everyday life. And hey, I found myself having fun in the process! Above all, I learned the importance of building personal connections with my students so that I may help them conquer academic hurdles.Tutoring has become immensely fulfilling for me; nothing makes me happier than not only watching my students grow, but watching my students watch themselves grow. I love it when my students become more confident in themselves than ever before. It's the only thing I'll wake up at 6 in the morning for. And I'll never forget the things students say to me after lessons, such as "you're really a great tutor, better than even a real teacher," "you make me want to learn more from my peers," and "if I go to UCLA, I'll get to see you, right?"I realized I love teaching so much that I applied to and got into Peer Health Exchange, a nationwide teaching organization that trains college students to teach health classes in schools that lack health curriculum. I work with inner city kids, giving them vital health information that they otherwise would not learn in school. I don't believe in lecturing the entire class; I ask for participation from every student. I love seeing students eagerly asking and answering questions. This past year I taught classes about abusive relationships, and next year I'll be teaching mental health classes.Simply put, I'm endlessly passionate about teaching. I understand how hard it can be to be a student, and I hope to make academics rewarding and effortless for my students. I hope to meet you soon!
I took Algebra I a year early and did very well in the class, earning an A both semesters. I can teach the quadratic equation, graphing, absolute value, solving equations with more than one variable, graphing on a calculator, reciprocals, completing the square, factoring polynomials, multiplying binomials, exponents and their properties, square roots, solving word problems, and much more.
I'm currently working on a conservation biology minor, and I plan on taking classes in paleontology, neuroscience, and psychobiology. I absolutely love biology; I got a 5 on the AP Bio test, an A+ in my AP Bio class, a B+ in a pre-medicine biology class, and a 730 on the SAT Bio subject test. I have completed a marine biology internship, and I currently work in a paleontology lab working with carnivore skulls. I read biology articles online in my free time because I enjoy the subject that much--and... Read More
I excelled in my geometry class in 8th grade, earning an A both semesters. Much of what I've learned from geometry--such as area of two-dimensional shapes, surface area and volume of three-dimensional shapes, basic trigonometry, and solving for missing angle measurements--are skills I have continued to use for years after my geometry class. I can also help with triangle similarity, Pythagorean Theorem, and proving congruence of shapes.
In middle school, I took prealgebra a year early and loved it, earning an A. Though it was a long time ago when I took the class, prealgebra skills were required in countless science and math classes I have taken, so I still use prealgebra on a daily basis. In high school, I took several math classes, including both AP Calculus and AP Statistics. I can teach students everything from solving single- or multi-variable equations, reading and plotting graphs, writing equations, using cross-multiplication,... Read More
Reading and analyzing texts is another strong subject for me. On the SAT, I received a score of 730 for the reading section. I took an AP English class that focused on carefully reading passages and books while interpreting meaning from them. I earned an A in this class, as well as a 5 on the AP Language and Composition test. I can also help with improving reading skills, such as word pronunciation, vocabulary, and using different types of punctuation to clue in on the meaning and tone of a sentence... Read More
Writing is one of my best subjects. I had an incredible English teacher for 3 years of my high school career, and he taught me every aspect of writing, be it proofreading, writing different types of essays, engaging readers, or writing personal statements. I took AP Language and Composition, earning an A in the class and a 5 on the AP test.
I enjoy helping students understand the English language. I know learning another language can be daunting, and I have so much respect for ESL students. I currently tutor several ESL kids at a local high school, where I teach them a wide variety of subjects, especially English. I help them understand English grammar, spelling, sentence structure, essay structure, conversational English, writing, reading, vocabulary, punctuation rules, and much more.
I'm currently a psychology major and I'm deeply passionate about educating others about mental health. I have taken AP Psychology, earned an A+ in the class, and won an award for outstanding mastery in AP psychology. I recently took an upper division Abnormal Psychology class at UCLA, which I passed with an A. I am part of a mental health awareness group on campus called Active Minds, and as part of this group I conduct mental health workshops around UCLA. Starting next year, I will be teaching... Read More
When I took the SATs, I got a score of 730 on the reading section. Through my English class, I learned to identify certain patterns in SAT questions, such as how sentence structure implies the meaning of words I may not know, how to determine the author's reason for writing, and much more.
I received a 740 on the SAT writing section. Through taking multiple practice tests, I've learned how to determine the meanings of words by looking at their usage and Latin roots, what grammar rules I especially need to be aware of, and the many rules of punctuation.
As a student, I know just how difficult it can be to maintain good study habits, especially when there are so many other things to balance outside of academics. I have taken a study skills class before, and I know what helps students get motivated to study. I would teach students how to reward themselves for getting homework done (such as taking a break every hour or so of studying), finding what works best for them in terms of limiting distractions but maximizing enjoyable parts of studying (such... Read More
I was an art student in high school for 3 years. I'm passionate about art, and I keep multiple sketchbooks with me. I especially enjoy realism, surrealism, and drawing nature. I can teach students how to make their drawings appear lifelike, as well as how to shade with a pencil, arrange a drawing so that it has the ideal composition, and draw using multiple types of pen strokes and styles. If you'd like to see a sample of my drawings, I'd be more than happy to show some to you!
I used to have an immense fear of public speaking--I'm talking shaking, twitching, stumbling over my words, and muttering "ummm" every few seconds. Despite this, I decided to join the mock trial team, which involves not only knowledge of courtroom proceedings, but speaking in front of a judge. I very badly wanted to be an attorney, so I decided I'd just stop being afraid of public speaking. I'm not entirely sure how that worked for me, but it did. I secured roles as witnesses as well as attorneys,... Read More
I was an art student for 3 years in high school, during which I was selected to enter three art shows. In the school-wide art show, one of my paintings received several awards from other students who selected my painting as their favorite. I've worked with acrylic paints, oil paints, and watercolors. Painting kept me grounded no matter how stressful things seemed to be. I would love to share my love for painting with my students. I can teach them the little tricks I've picked up through trial...

* Credit to spyrde for his great work!
I'm very pleased to announce the next phase of our community project: Community Opinions. We want to bridge the gap between PSU and the community. That continues with your thoughts on anything and everything. Be it something about next-gen consoles, developers, technology or rumors. Community Opinions is about expressing your thoughts about our favorite hobby with the community and a chance to see your work on the front page of PSU!
This section is also a proving ground for would be writers, so those that are interested have a chance at more than just front page news. More on that soon enough. For some inspirational ideas on what kind of articles we are looking for, here are some examples from PSU on how you could write your opinion piece:
Why Assassin's Creed needs to visit Victorian London
3 reasons why Raiden is just as badass as Solid Snake
Defiance: Can an MMO/TV show hybrid really work?
Square Enix wasted a console generation, but it's not too late for redemption
Now, there has to be some order for this to work. We want to see your efforts in a fun, structured setting that doesn't take itself too seriously but has some general rules to keep order. It's pretty simple, just post a new thread in this section and follow these basic guidelines. Don't worry about needing to be some super writer, this section is for everybody. A community spotlight for anyone to chime in with their thoughts.
For Kyle, an awesome PSU editor who might consider what will be front page material, PSU will be looking for three core values labeled P S U. Those aiming to make their mark on the front page, adhere to this sick acronym that only the gods could have created:
Keep in mind P S U is not mandatory to write an opinion piece, merely a reference.
Thread Title: Very important. Make it stick out, but make sure it's explaining what the article is about. Don't try to mislead the reader. Use [OPINION] followed by your personal title.
i.e. [OPINION] Graphics aren't everything
If it's a rumor, use [RUMOR]. There isn't any crazy rules here, just make it catchy. Look at the examples from PSU above to get an idea.
Word Count: Aim for 500-2000 words. If it's a little over, no big deal. If you go below 500, it won't be added.
Graphics: Not mandatory, but a few pics can really spruce up a piece. Especially if you are trying to discuss rumors or explain different parts of hardware. Never hurts if talking about Kojima and his master plans to find one of his many awesome mug shots to compliment your work.
Conclusion: Make sure to wrap up your thoughts with a nice end that really pops. Given that these are here to discuss your opinion, ending with a question is a viable option. It gives the reader a chance to give their input to your work and potentially generate a great thread.
Database: Because opinion pieces can vary from PS4 to individual developers, the database will feature article by date posted followed by author. You can find the database here, housing one day some of the greatest pieces of writing ever conceived. Each will be a link to their thread, with the thread title clearly stated. For those wondering how it will look (primarily my indexers), here's an example:
February 2013
Will Sony show off more games before E3? - Sir_Scud
Keys for Microsoft to beat Sony this year - DeviousOne
Wii U's third party support in question - Lethal_NFS
March 2013
Blizzard's attempts are underwhelming -DarkVincent07
This is the setup for now. When the year passes, it will be in spoiler tags making room for 2014.
Community Rank:
Each piece you write gives you a chance to rank up. This rank will coincide with the Community Reviews section, so either option can earn you a new tier in the rankings. This way people have a shot at beating Lethal to be the first Whale, Shark or maybe even Crab. There won't be a Hall of Fame here, but if you write a lot of opinion pieces you can still be added to the other guideline thread as the first person to reach a rank that was not Lethal.

Keep in mind this is the early goings, there's a lot more to cover. With this section in beta form, expect changes every now and then. This thread alone will have some alterations soon enough, but with that said start posting your opinions!
I'll keep this thread open for discussion and thoughts. Changes can still be made to the process, but this means you can start posting new threads and I'll add them to the database! I'm very excited to see what the PSU community has to say!

Thanks Kuro! I'm just really excited to see the next phase finally hit. There's still some things to iron out for sure. Basically, you guys are free to write opinion pieces. In fact, I encourage it With all this news circulating around next gen, I'm really interested in reading some good pieces.

Good job. It seems you have your head in the right place so kudos.
Sir_Scud wants to slowly undress this post.

Cheers, Sir_Scud. You've really helped this section flourish, but we're only getting started. I know you can (and will) encourage the community to share their gaming thoughts and help PSU grow. I can't wait to read our community's first submissions!

Tip: Edit OP, click advanced, delete title field. Then the OP wont have the thread title in it, just that sexy image. Good idea for the review index too. After a few edits it seems to come back so you have to go into advanced and delete it again, or just always edit in advanced and make sure you always delete it.

Thanks D. You really should take a crack at it! Surely you have an opinion on something. As long as it's 500 words, go for it! The rules are pretty lax. It definitely doesn't take as long as writing a review. Just nice to lay down an opinion on something and get a discussion going.

Comment on China's "Sexy Santa" Quite An Eyeful… by Pyrus:
He's lost his sainthood, hasn't he…

Did someone get upset!?
- Vocaloid China Project "Even Cuter Than Miku!":
I happen to like Ben Dunn's style as well as that guy who does Megatokyo. They're westerners (I think). I've always felt that art was expressing how you think & feel about what you see, imagine, or hope for in pictures rather than words. In that sense, [western] people would be bad in imitating anime/manga style drawing of people: Those big eyes! Even if you were to copy someone else's art style, you still have to copy it as you perceive it, and it can take a lot of practice to make that …
- Grand Union: "Just Give Up On Square Enix Already…":
The problem seems to be that no one is making something they like. And since a lot of video game fanatics don't know how to code their own games (for whichever gaming system[s] they've bought), all they can do is wait for someone to do it for them. It seems that they've put out a lot of money buying various gaming consoles, but can't find anything they would consider worthwhile to play on them.
- Grand Union: "Just Give Up On Square Enix Already…":
Whatever it takes to stay afloat until someone decides to actually come up with a good idea for a real game that will sell. Cellphone/smartphone games are probably the gaming industry's version of the anime industry's OAV/OVA: Stuff you put out there to make some quick cash to stay afloat or to build up funds to produce your real work. Probably. I could be wrong.
- Japanese Makeup Terrifying as Ever…:
Men don't need makeup, only money. And actual love & fidelity may cost extra.

I enjoyed the race very much. The cars are state of the art compared to NASCAR and INDY. A great crowd consisting mostly of foreign nationals (and imported beers). No place like Indy for racing.
What can I say - well worthwhile experience!
First GP, great time. Suprised that the support races were more action than the main event.

Seeing, feeling, hearing Formula1 cars flying through the tracks is a lot more different from watching it on TV. You'll feel your heart beating faster, adrenaline pumping through your arteries. This has been my childhood dream and I will have that dream come true every year as long as F1 comes to Indy.

Traffic on Jacksboro Pike was forced into one lane as Rogers Group worked to install a deceleration lane for Family Dollar. This work is being completed to accommodate traffic flow to Family Dollar's new location.
"What it is is a turn lane for the new dollar store," LaFollette Street Department Head Jim Mullins said.
