We are having a baby girl in November but have yet to decided on a first name. We're pretty sure the middle name will be Violet. Until now, the closest we've come to an agreement on a name was Sibyl Violet but I think that ship has sailed...
I love the name Djuna ("the D is silent") but my spouse is concerned that is sounds too "bohemian" for our taste. Our other two children have more conventional or popular names - Asher and Hazel.
Any thoughts or advice regarding this name, e.g. what immediately comes to mind, do you consider it feminine, etc. Also, if you have any words of encouragement/discouragement as to the name Sibyl, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks!

"All-Star Disco (All That Glitters is Platinum)"
Iguchi Yuka vs. Smash Mouth mashup
Character: Araragi Karen
Anime/Novel: Nisemonogatari
CN: Rinto Tocchi
BAKEMONOGATARI ED ~ CREDITLESS ~ Kimi No Shiranai Monogatari
Ah, Bakemonogatari ED Tsubasa Cat version. My favorite ED.
Unexpected that Koyomi actually wins. Though I guess if Hitagi only throws scissors, must be easy to figure her out.
(Source: r-l-ecclesia)
This artist does a good job aping Hajime Ueda's style.
"But Araragi-san, what kind of work do you plan on doing when you grow up?"- Mayoi Hachikuji and Koyomi Araragi from Nisemonogatari "Karen Bee" Chapter 16
"Fortunately, I haven't thought that far ahead…"
"That's what makes you like a child."
Hm, maybe this might work.
"I wonder if I could get a job holding up Hanekawa's breasts so that they don't fall?"
"What are you saying with a straight face, Araragi-kun?"
"Of course, someone had to go and invent the bra… I don't know how much money that guy made off that, but thanks to him, I'm out of a job!"
But honestly speaking, Kanbaru's naked body is worth checking out at least once. That girl is like a work of art. She's not sexy, she's beautiful. If I were a man, I might have fallen for her, but as a woman, I have to say she has perfect style.
- Hitagi Senjougahara, from Nisemonogatari Volume 1 "Karen Bee" Chapter 10
So glad that Nisemonogatari anime decided to show this clearly. Karen, a middle school senior, is taller than her older brother Koyomi, who's a high school senior. Now, in the coming couple episodes, Karen will be in positions that make it hard to tell how freakishly tall she is, but I hope we get to see more of that throughout the series.
Koyomi: I guess I wouldn't know, but is that [arcade] game any fun for a high schooler?
Suruga: What are you talking about? Age isn't a factor when it comes to good games. I've already spent almost 3,000 yen on it today. A bunch of kids lined up behind me, but I have no intention of letting them play.
Koyomi: Using your money like that is horrible! Stop playing that game right now and let the kids play!
Suruga: Hmph. You're saying the same thing as the clerk I chased away earlier.
Koyomi: You chased him away!?
Suruga: Since he got really angry, I had no choice but to get really angry right back.

For those that closely followed your FedEx tracking. I got the shipped email on Feb 2nd and started to check my tracking regularly. Since it arrived at the local FedEx facility it doesn't appear to have moved. It being the weekend I didn't worry to much figuring maybe on Mon it would start moving. Well it's Tuesday and still no movement. My estimated delivery is Thurs by 4:30pm which is still possible living just outside Atlanta Ga. Anyway my question is approximately how long did your machines sit before getting on a plane? Are tracking updates just really slow? I'm just gauging whether I need to start making calls or am I just being totally impatient.

Mines now cleared customs on http://www.expeditors.com/. However, none of the references I have work with UPS so no idea when it gets here. Expeditors have a requested date of the 7th and the latest update says the 6th although it just cleared customs.
Is the delivery on expeditors just to the delivery company? Anyone got any ideas what the delivery reference looks like for the UK? I've tried all the bits I have to no avail.....trying to plan which day to stay working from home but at the minute it's a complete guess....

Um. I got my UPS tracking number at 5am. It got delivered at 9.30. No time to change or do anything. From memory UPS insist on making one attempted delivery before they will do anything The UPS ref appeared on my delivery estimate thing that's available on my orders/shipped. But again. At 5am This machine makes my old iMac look like a prehistoric fossil It will be worth the wait ---------- Quote:
See above for UPS. The UPS ref is long and starts 1Z I think?

So close indeed! Tomorrow? I would guess so given you are a day behind me. Don't know though. They won't let you collect it without one attempted delivery anyway. Did you order other stuff at the same time. ? The clue for me was the 'merge in transit' bit on the delivery notification it disappeared the day before I got it. So I assumed that it had merged. My iMac only sat at the local depot for 50 minutes before going back out on a van

All along, Apple has been saying delivery on the 8th on their website, stating I would be given "48 business hours notice" of delivery. This phrase seemed very unapple like, but I though I would see where it led. I noticed a couple of hours ago that the 48 hour notice disappeared. On closer inspection, my delivery date has changed to the 6th. And I still have no courier information. No notice, no email saying it is coming. The only reason I know it might get delivered tomorrow is because I have been frequenting Athe expeditors and Apple's website so much over the last week to check progress. Sort it out! Update: The carrier is now listed as UPS. Delivery by end of tomorrow. Need to change plans. Last edited by Dale34; Feb 5, 2013 at 03:56 PM. |

Am i missing something with Expeditors?
I've typed in the tracking number (8246123901) a million times but it always comes up no data. I have a UPS tracking number which tells me the iMac has been sitting at Stansted Airport (arrival scan only) since this morning at 4AM local time (it's now nearly 10pm). This process is enough to give a normal person OCD! |

Jan 17 --> SHIPPED!
I was notified via text and email from Apple that my order shipped today.
Let me break down my timeline in plain text, so nobody has to do any math... ORDER Ordered: Jan 17 Apple's estimated ship: Available to ship 3 - 4 weeks. (Standard shipping) Apple's estimated delivery: Feb 14 - 22 SHIP Actual ship: Feb 5 (China) Actual time from order to ship: 19 days (2 days less than 3 weeks) DELIVERY FedEx scheduled delivery: Feb 8 (TX, USA - Friday @ 10:30 AM CST) Apple's best case estimate: 28 days Apple's worst case estimate: 36 days ACTUAL time from order to unboxing: 22 days This is assuming that it doesn't get held up anywhere, but it's nearly a full week ahead of Apple's best case estimate!

I'm having a hard time switching from old set-up of 20"iMac and 42" plasma being used as main display Im now trying to use the 27" like i used the 42 and it isn't working, obviously I'm too far away Going to resort to old set up of both displays for a few days, I ca't quite get my head around the safari windows with the bit in the middle and blank spaces either side on full screen, tiny text... and would you believe the old one now works. damn thing! Ive got 3 'displays' on my desk now, and the most obvious difference between them all is the lack of glare/ reflection on the new iMac,

Paul Adams Inducted Into Connecticut Academy of Science & Engineering;
EAST HARTFORD, Conn., June 4, 2012 – Paul Adams, Pratt & Whitney's senior vice president of Operations & Engineering, was recently inducted into the distinguished Connecticut Academy of Science & Engineering (CASE) for his outstanding contributions to jet propulsion technology. Pratt & Whitney is a United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX) company.
Adams was recognized for his technical leadership in the engineering development and production of game-changing technological products such as Pratt & Whitney's PurePower® Geared Turbofan™ (GTF) engine and the F135 engine that powers the F-35 Lightning II.
"The results of Paul's efforts and technical leadership have contributed significantly to Pratt & Whitney's improved productivity and overall product competitiveness in commercial and military aviation," said Pratt & Whitney President Dave Hess. "Paul previously served as P&W's Senior Vice President of Engineering and Vice President of Engineering Module Centers, where he was instrumental in the development of both the GTF and the F135."
Among the Academy's 39 newly elected members for 2012, Adams also was the keynote speaker for CASE's annual meeting at the University of Connecticut in Storrs. Adams gave an overview of the "disruptive technology" of P&W's PurePower engine, a game-changing architecture that has changed the normal course of commercial jet engine development. He outlined the GTF configuration value proposition and the runway for future products.
"The Geared Turbofan engine is a step in a new configuration that is changing the future of the aerospace industry and we're going to keep bringing new technology to it. There's a lot of runway for even greater operational and environmental benefits with the geared architecture for the future," said Adams. "Science and engineering are at the heart of what we do at Pratt & Whitney. Our engineering teams are constantly engaged in advancing technologies and enhancing product capability in a manner that brings value to our customers and to UTC and its shareholders."
Election to the Academy is on the basis of scientific and engineering distinction achieved through significant contributions in theory or applications, as demonstrated by original published books and papers, patents, the pioneering of new and developing fields and innovative products, outstanding leadership of nationally recognized technical teams, and external professional awards in recognition of scientific and engineering excellence.
Adams has more than 29 years of leadership in program management and engineering with extensive, global experience in the aircraft engine industry. He joined Pratt & Whitney from Williams International in 1999 and was appointed to his current position in October 2011. His responsibilities include new product development, technology strategy, manufacturing operations, and supply chain management.
Adams additionally serves on the advisory boards of the University of Michigan Aerospace Engineering Department and the University of Connecticut School Of Engineering. He completed the Stanford Executive Program through the Stanford Graduate Business School and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan.

On-tap at Fat Head's in N. Olmsted, Ohio
Pours golden with a slght haze; small eggshell white head that leaves nice lacing and retention. Smells awesome. Lots of mango, peach, and watermelon. There's a bit of sweet bready malts in the background. Flavors are very sharp and bitter. Sweet fruits along with some citrus. Nice amount of grapefruit. Hints of pine needles. West coast vibe. Finishes dry. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied; smooth with active carbonation. Alcohol goes unnoticed.
Yep, this is an awesome IPA. Most breweries would be extremely proud of this, but it comes off as just another day at the office for Fat Head's. Well executed.

Click here if you would like information about purchasing a Projectile Point Guide for the Upper Mississippi River Valley.
If you would like help identifying an artifact in the Upper Mississippi River Valley or the Upper Midwest please e-mail Dr. Katherine Stevenson at firstname.lastname@example.com. Include in your e-mail a description of the item, where it was found, and attach a picture of the artifact with a scale. Responses will be sent as soon as possible. For help identifying artifacts found outside the Upper Midwest contact that state's archaeologist. A list of state archaeologists can be found on-line at: http://www.uiowa.edu/~osa/nasa/.
The web-based Projectile Point Guide was created with a grant from the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse Foundation. MVAC greatly appreciates the UW-L Foundation's support of this project!
Projectile points are tips fastened to the ends of spears, darts, and arrow shafts. In prehistoric North America, they were made from a variety of materials, including antler, bone, and copper but most, at least most that have preserved, were made from stone. The vast majority of these were made by chipping various types of "flint" to shape the projectile point for penetration, cutting, and hafting. Projectile point styles changed through time, much like automobile styles. Sometimes these changes reflect technological shifts, while other times they appear to be simply fads. In either case, it is somewhat astounding how widespread the use of certain projectile point styles was during particular periods of midwestern prehistory. For example, Paleo-Indian fluted spear tips, dating between 11,300 and 10,200 years ago (uncalibrated), have been found in every state between the Rocky Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. Several thousand years later, side-notched forms were being used by Archaic cultures throughout much of eastern North America. At the transition from Archaic to Woodland traditions there was a widespread shift to contracting stemmed point types, and toward the end of prehistory virtually every culture adopted unnotched triangular arrow tips.
Although many basic point styles were widespread, they often have a variety of regional names. For example, contracting stemmed points are called Waubesa in Wisconsin and the Upper Mississippi Valley, and nearly identical points are called Belknap or Dickson in Illinois and Gary points to the south and east. While there are often modest regional variations in point types, there is rarely evidence of individual expression. Point makers in general were conformists and manufactured tips according to prevailing culturally accepted styles. For this reason archaeologists work diligently to develop regional projectile point chronologies that recognize patterns of changing shape through time. These are based on the premise that once a distinct style is directly dated by carbon 14 association, then similar points can be confidently attributed to the same age. All ages included in this guide are uncalibrated. This cross-dating can be applied to points found in excavations, plowed fields, or in private collections.
A number of projectile point guides cover various styles found in the Upper Mississippi Valley. This page is adapted from a published version through the University of Iowa Press, A Projectile Point Guide for the Upper Mississippi River Valley, and includes only ten of the more common point types found in the Upper Mississippi River Valley. This electronic version also contains links to related sites but does not include references to the original type definitions, which are available in the published version. Two other recommended print guides that overlap this area are Justice's Stone Age Spear and Arrow Points of the Midcontinental Eastern United States and Morrow's Iowa Projectile Points. Several price guides are also available, but most are based on undocumented collections, and all contribute to the destruction of the archaeological record by inevitably disconnecting the locational context from artifacts through selling.
Point typology is a tricky business. We know that basic stylistic patterns changed through time, and we have a fairly good regional chronology of shapes, but many points do not readily conform to "type" examples. Some characteristics, such as corner-notching, seem to have been popular during more than one period, so we may need to look for more subtle ways to determine the ages of specific points. Dating points is always a problem with surface finds, yet with avocational and professional archaeologists sharing knowledge, we can detect more precise patterns and associations. Some corner-notched points are found at sites with pottery, others at sites without pottery. Some may be made of heat-treated chert, others of silicified sandstone. Some may have basal grinding, others not. These kinds of "attributes" can help segregate similar looking points that are from different periods. Sooner or later, each variety will be found in datable contexts, and we will then be able to determine their ages directly. Thus, point guides will need to be refined and updated, a process made easier through the Internet. You can help with this continual process by recording your finds and letting archaeologists document them through photography and measurements.
Identifying the source of the stone used to manufacture specific points can also be difficult. Some materials such as Knife River flint and jasper taconite are fairly distinctive, and it is generally not difficult to separate Prairie du Chien chert from Galena or Moline cherts. However, nearly all flint sources exhibit stone of considerable variation in color and quality, and there are many look-alikes. For example, until the 1990s nearly every silicified sandstone artifact found in the Upper Mississippi Valley was classified as having been made of material from the well-known Silver Mound source in western Wisconsin. But subsequent identification of numerous other silicified sandstone source areas, including several extensive prehistoric workshops that have produced flakes of color and texture that rival that of Silver Mound, make definitive identifications problematic. Because specific sources are usually from discrete geological formations, fossil inclusions, structural properties, and mineralogical content are useful keys for identification. For example, a distinctive attribute of Burlington chert is the inclusion of fossil crinoids, but these are sometime microscopic. Mineral and structural analyses often require specialized technologies that are generally done at geological laboratories and usually involve partial destruction of a specimen, such as thin sectioning or neutron activation analysis. Fortunately, new and less-destructive analyses are continually being developed. Because of the importance of material identification to understanding past cultural ranges and interaction networks, many professional archaeological institutes have established comparative lithic collections with examples from source areas.

Archaeological sites are nonrenewable resources of our collective heritage. Once destroyed they are gone forever, and with them goes all potential understanding of the past cultures that occupied those sites. In the 130 years from 1850 to 1980 farming, town development, and road construction obliterated nearly 80 percent of the thousands of mounds that once dotted the Upper Mississippi Valley before legislation finally protected those that remained. Now urban sprawl has accelerated the destruction of the irreplaceable archaeological record. It is imperative that we all contribute to preserving as much as possible. Collecting artifacts gives you two options: you can do it ethically and contribute to an understanding of the past, or you can do it selfishly and destroy the record. Note that ethical collecting begins with landowner permission, and it is illegal to collect from any public land, including nearly all of the Upper Mississippi River floodplain. Once permission is obtained from private landowners, you can contribute to archaeological research by following these few simple practices.
When you find artifacts, note where you found them as precisely as possible. In the long run, these will be much more valuable to you than a set of artifacts from places long since forgotten. Keep items found at individual sites separate from those found elsewhere. Simple recording systems such as numbering sites works very well. For example, keep all artifacts found on Site 1 together, or label them as such when mixing with others for display. Keeping a notebook with sketch maps of sites is extremely important. An example of a site recording form follows. You could also mark sites on a county map or even a highway map. The best maps are U.S. Geological Survey topographical quadrangles, which are becoming more easily available in digital form through commercial vendors or via the Internet.
For storing, wrap special artifacts separately to prevent them from getting nicked by knocking against other artifacts. Too often, well-intentioned people have dumped coffee cans or old cigar boxes full of artifacts onto our lab tables revealing not only new information but also new breaks and a small pile of fresh chips. Take care of your artifacts; they are a priceless record of the past and are irreplaceable!

Each state has a state archaeologist, and many colleges and museums have archaeologists who would be happy to photograph your finds and record the information. Rest assured that archaeologists will not confiscate your artifacts, steal your site, or broadcast its location. You will be helping to piece together essential knowledge of the past. In return, you will learn how old your artifacts are, what they are made of, and what they were used for.
Buying and selling artifacts not only encourages looting, but once sold, the most important information—site location—is gone forever. It also encourages the manufacture of fraudulent artifacts, and all buyers eventually get taken because fakes can be impossible to distinguish from authentic artifacts. Flintknappers have been producing replicas and fakes for well over a century, and a 1994 survey of modern flintknappers revealed that as many as 1.5 million replica-fakes are being made every year. If you don't know who found it and where it was from, there's a good chance you are buying a fake.
If you have a collection and you can no longer keep it, either donate it to a state historical society or university with a curation facility, or pass the collection on to the next generation or to someone else who you know will cherish and maintain the collection. This ensures that collection information will follow the actual artifacts. The key is to make sure that information about the material and where it was collected remains with the collection. Donations to nonprofit organizations are usually tax-deductible.
Archaeological sites cannot be replaced. Once a site is dug improperly, it is destroyed and cannot be reconstructed. There are ample opportunities to participate in professional excavations throughout the Midwest.

New realities demand new direction from utilities.
1994--The Year in Review
We begin the new year with a recap of the major rulings issued last year by state public utility commissions (PUCs).
Electricity took center stage as state commissioners began in earnest to examine rising competition in the power generation market. The seemingly endless number of privately sponsored seminars, conferences, and reports on the issue might suggest that regulators are following rather than leading on policy. But consensus remains far off. State PUCs are cautious (em carefully investigating retail wheeling and scrutinizing cost and service issues. This same caution shows up in the slowdown of ratepayer-subsidized conservation plans in several states in the face of excess capacity and rising energy costs.
Competition remained a focal point in telecommunications, with PUCs approving tentative openings in the local exchange market. While both natural gas and telephone utilities are farther along in reform, the level of regulatory activity has not diminished. If the past year is any guide, utilities can expect for some time to operate under prudence reviews, service standards, and least-cost planning rules. Regulators are still bound by legislation that requires rate protection for monopoly customers, while utilities continue to function under a duty to serve on demand.
Price-cap or incentive-based regulation methods are gaining converts in both energy and telecommunications markets to promote cost-cutting and other market efficiencies. Pricing flexibility is also now common in energy and telecommunications, where utilities can show competitive pressure. Nevertheless, where cost- of-service regulation has eased somewhat, regulators pick up the slack by policing the marketplace to ensure fair play among market participants.
Electricity (em Reforms Amid Hysteria
Regulatory reforms (em prompted by high power costs in some parts of the country (em range from retail wheeling programs to incentive ratemaking. Even so, new developments at the state level have turned up several roadblocks: 1) what to do about the utility obligation to serve; 2) how to maintain current subsidies for conservation and other social goals; and 3) how to allocate the costs of stranded investment?
State regulators and electric utilities have also struggled with the high-cost power contracts mandated under the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) and state industrial planning policies. Cogeneration and renewable-resource power contracts that looked acceptable a few years back now place utilities at a disadvantage in meeting new sources of competition. Here, again, California exemplifies the battle (em electric utilities complained that renewable-resource contracts bid under the PUC's Biennial
Resource Plan Update (BRPU) would saddle ratepayers with millions of dollars in additional purchased-power costs, just when the state could least afford it. The battle continues, but Southern California Edison announced late last year that it had negotiated an agreement to replace 495 megawatts (MW) of mandated purchases with a contract for 375 MW of wind-generated power at a substantially lower price than the mandated BRPU energy auction.
s Retail Wheeling. On April 20, 1994, the California PUC issued a sweeping proposal to restructure the state's electric power industry. The plan makes "direct access" to power supplies (retail wheeling) for all consumers the centerpiece of reforms aimed at tapping the price-leveling powers of

Nature's Path & Way To Go
February 26, 2011
Advertisement |
As we continue the countdown to spring and the great snow melt of 2011, nature photography and the work of Eagle Scouts are on the Way To Go radar.
I've never had any formal training taking pictures out in the natural world. I've kind of learned the skill over the past 13 years of writing the column and exploring the great outdoors. One of the best pieces of advice I can give is always keep your camera at the ready because you never know when that herd of deer is going to come bounding through the woods or that bobcat will be standing on the edge of a rock outcropping.
Those looking for some technical advice, mark March 13 on your calendar. That's when wildlife and nature photographer Lewis Kemper will be in Salem for the day. Kemper, who has taken some beautiful photos of places like Yosemite and Yellowstone as well as places up and down the east coast, will present a daylong program on digital photography in the natural world. Visit http://www.shootersgallerypg.com for more information.
As I travel across the state, it's hard to find a preserve or sanctuary that hasn't been touched by the work of a Boy Scout or Eagle Scout. A big "Way To Go!" goes out to four Eagle Scouts from Manchester Troop 123 who were recently honored for their work done around town.
Eagle Scout Nate Baranowski led a work crew that repaired a dam, built a bridge and spread woodchips at the Manchester Land Conservation Trust's Buckland Pond in the town's southwest corner. The trail circles the pond and now visitors will rarely get their feet wet.
Case Mountain has seen its share of erosion due to heavy use by hikers, mountain bikers and offroad vehicles. Eagle Scout Will Kidder and his work crew installed water bars preventing erosion on several hiking trails located on Case Mountain.
The Laurel Marsh trail is one of Manchester's natural world gems and a popular place. Eagle Scout Jake Nearine improved the Manchester Land Conservation Trust's 3.5-mile Laurel Marsh Trail by resetting boardwalks, installing handrails and replacing drainage pipes.
One of the biggest drawbacks to hiking Case Mountain is the plethora of trails that snake through the area. Eagle Scout Alex Pattacini and his work crew installed sign posts and signs at several trail intersection points. Emergency crews from Manchester are no doubt thankful for the work since quite a few hikers lose their way in this rugged section of town and you know who has to answer those 911 "I'm lost!" calls.

I own a plumbing and hvac service and repair company. I have been toying around with the idea of moving to iPads instead of pricebooks and hand written invoices. Is this something that can be accomplished?
I personally have one and love being able to pull it out and have my price book and all the catalogs and brochures at my fingertips. With the iPad 2 my techs would also have a camera that they wouldnt need to carry around as well.
We use Quickbooks, and would like to be able to make the invoice on the iPad then print it out for the customer. I would think importing all the invoices at the end of the day would be the easiest thing. I'm not sure if this is even possible. All this to save the step of typing everything into QB like we do now, since all our invoices are hand written.
I cant be reliant on wifi or the att network to email or update QB realtime since we are in a remote area where the service is very spotty.
If this inst feasible now, do any of you think that it will be in the near future?
Thanks for all the help!

Bottle from JR - thanks dude! Served in a snifter at Tom's place. This was the 2010 vintage.
A - Mocha foam settles to a partial cap, thick collar, and minimal lacework. Very dark brown body with a glint of transparency at the edges of the glass.
S - A nice mix of oak and bourbon flavors, with some slight spiciness. Notes of honey, baker's chocolate, dark bread, roasted malts, vanilla, caramel, and perhaps a touch of dark fruit oxidation.
T - The taste isn't quite as excellent as the aroma, although it's still quite pleasant. Spicy oak, bourbon, dark chocolate, roasted malts, a hint of smoke, a bit of green cocoa nibs, and some mild vanilla sweetness in the finish. Quite mellow, with well-hidden alcohol.
M - A tad thin for 10%, but definitely medium in body. Sticky and chewy, with some light tannins and dry oak in the finish.
D - Not as excellent as the 2009 version, but still pretty good. Not sure where all the infection reports came from, as I've had multiple bottles of the '09 and '10 vintages and all have been excellent. I suspect this has already peaked, so I don't recommend any further aging.

The Luke Bryan concert May 31 at the Comcast Theatre has sold out. The Hartford venue is ballyhooing this as "the FIRST sell out of the 2013 Summer Concert season!" For those of us going, "Huh? Who?," know this: Luke Bryan's a Country & Western hitmaker who won a record nine American Country Awards last year.
A press release calls the show "the fastest country sell-out in Comcast Theatre History." If the sell-out makes you despondent, Bryan's playing Philadelphia June 1 and Boston June 2, but catch him there because then he heads to the Midwest and doesn't return for New York/New Jersey gigs until August.

During the hour long episode of Guy's Big Bite, the cook and movie star traded stories and sipped on cocktails. Check out what McConaughey family fun facts were revealed. Courtesy of Food Network J.K. Livin What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Matthew started his Just Keep Livin — his motto, website, production company, and foundation — as a way to deal with the death of his father. He said: "Um, but I was doing the same thing most people do, 'cause you try to deal with someone's death the best you can after they move on, and so I was going through, how do I keep a relationship with my father since he's physically moved on? And that's where just keep livin' came from. Even though he's gone, spiritually, someone can still be with ya, you can still remember who they are, have conversations with 'em, be inspired by 'em as you go through your own life, even though they're not physically here anymore." Courtesy of Food Network 1 / 5 Music Man What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The infamous 1999 naked bongo incident hasn't deterred Matthew from playing. The actor still drums at family dinners. But unlike Guy, he takes his "bling" off before making music. He said: "It's a good way to work off the meal, man." Courtesy of Food Network 2 / 5 What His Kids Call Him What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 He's Matthew to the masses, but papai to his son. Levi, 2, calls his father "papai", a Brazilian term of endearment for daddy. Courtesy of Food Network 3 / 5 Where's the Beef? What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When it comes to barbecuing, Levi likes to assist and the tot doesn't use the term "beef". Mathew explained: "'Mama, Vovó, Papai and Levi say it's time to put the cow won the fire,' and I was like, but how great that he's learning both cultures and really getting the full experience." Courtesy of Food Network 4 / 5 Levi Loves Motorcycles What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Levi may have a need for speed. Matthew said: "He came down on the film set the other day, and, uh, his big thing is — we had a scene with a bunch of Harleys — and he went crazy on the motorcycles, so that's been his big thing for the last two month — 'papai, Levi want to make a movie about a motorcycle'."

Those interested in the history of the Alps should make a note of 13 June 2013. That's when art historian Sophie Providoli will recount the eventful history of the Theodul pass. Furthermore the protagonist of the lecture, the "mercenary", is displayed in the Matterhorn Museum. Whoever wants to experience the glacier makes a Theodul pass crossing.

4.54 / 5.00 23,757 Viewswell, this is my first submission onto newgrounds, so yay, i did it!
anyway, i hope you guys enjoy it, be as nice, or as big an asshole as you want with the review.
theres nothing really else to say, so watch.
Well, i'll say it's good for a first.
It's actually kinda funny. I dunno, i might've actually laughed harder if he typed:

Anyways, maybe you could make a sequel/remake in the future?
I don't know why, but early at the start the bottom box switched from the girl, to tommy, back to the girl...
Oh well, good job.
I feel his pain.

Savory Waffles
I cashed in my groupon on Wafels And Dinges Cafe.
My friend ordered the Bacon Waffle. Sweet and bacon-y and over all delicious.
I got the Salmon Waffle. The salmon was super overwhelming to the point I dreaded finishing the last few bites. The salad went well as a side.
Ordered a fruit waffle that was missing more than a couple of fruit listed on the menu.
The lack of words is basically my experience with the place. The layout of the cafe was unique but what was up with the workers. The cashier kept on pressing the redeem button of my groupon on my phone like the first few times couldn't tell him that it wouldn't work. Even after I told him it was a saved page, he looked like he still wanted to keep trying. The atmosphere of the workers made the whole experience really depressing. I'm only going back if I get another groupon.

Your Facebook account is inaccessible, your life is replete with illogical things and you can't wrap yourself around the fact that you can't use your bank account now because you have to use Bitcoin now. See how inconvenient that is? Sure, you can ignore that and live life to the moment, but how long's gonna let you life? The world is in a chaotic ruthless and yet funny form of mess, and it's probably more messy now that Bitcoin is part of your modern life now.

Comments Complement Code
Today I read this quote:
Good code is its own best documentation. As you're about to add a comment, ask yourself, 'How can I improve the code so that this comment isn't needed?'
I just want to say, it's a load of rubbish. Take a look at the following code:
def toCharArray( decoder: CharsetDecoder = Charset.forName("UTF-8").newDecoder() ): Enumeratee[Array[Byte], Array[Char]] = new Enumeratee[Array[Byte],Array[Char]] { def step[A](inner: Iteratee[Array[Char], A], partialChar: Option[Array[Byte]] = None)(in: Input[Array[Byte]]): Iteratee[Array[Byte], Iteratee[Array[Char], A]] = { in match { case EOF => partialChar.map(_ => Error[Array[Byte]]("EOF encountered mid character", EOF)) .getOrElse(Done[Array[Byte],Iteratee[Array[Char],A]](inner, EOF)) case Empty => Cont(step(inner, partialChar)) case El(data) => { val charBuffer = CharBuffer.allocate(data.length + 1) val byteBuffer = partialChar.map({ leftOver => val buffer = ByteBuffer.allocate(leftOver.length + data.length) buffer.mark() buffer.put(leftOver).put(data) buffer.reset() buffer }).getOrElse(ByteBuffer.wrap(data)) decoder.decode(byteBuffer, charBuffer, false) val leftOver = if (byteBuffer.limit() > byteBuffer.position()) { Some(byteBuffer.array().drop(byteBuffer.position())) } else None val decoded = charBuffer.array().take(charBuffer.position()) val input = if (decoded.length == 0) Empty else El(decoded) inner.pureFlatFold { case Step.Cont(k) => Cont(step(k(input), leftOver)) case _ => Done(inner, Input.Empty) } } } } def applyOn[A](inner: Iteratee[Array[Char], A]) = Cont(step(inner)) }
If you know iteratees and you know Scala, it's pretty obvious what this does. It converts a stream of byte arrays into a stream of char arrays, taking into the consideration the possibility that one character may be split across multiple byte arrays. Structurally it is purely functional, however the actual decoding is not, it uses the high performance Java CharBuffer and ByteBuffer classes to do the decoding, which are mutable, and arguably this is necessary since this enumeratee is a place where performance matters. I wrote it, and in my opinion it's not badly written, though if you can see anything that could be improved, please let me know.
So, tell me, on line 14, why do I allocate a char buffer of the incoming byte array length plus one? What is the reason for the plus one? When I first wrote it, I didn't have the plus one there, I didn't think it was needed. You see, when converting an array of bytes to an array of UTF-16 Java characters, at most, 8 bytes will become 8 characters, right? 8 bytes could become 4 characters, if those characters were multi byte characters, the number of chars needed might be less than the number of bytes being decoded, but it can never be more, right? One byte can't become multiple UTF-16 chars, so why would I ever need 9 characters for 8 bytes?
Now maybe you might criticise my code because the +1 is actually a magic number, and if I gave it a name, then that would explain everything. Well, let's give it a name, and reasonable a name (I could give it a two hundred character long name and that might explain everything but you can hardly call two hundred character long variable names good code. Well, maybe you can in Java, but not in Scala). So I'll create a val PotentialMultiCharOffset = 1. Does that help you at all? Do you know what it's for? Why is it 1? Why is it added, why don't I multiply by 2? If you do know the reason behind it, then hats off to you, you are a genius. But for the rest of us, we don't know. It as only after I wrote comprehensive unit tests for the code that I found the bug (I've heard other people say that unit tests are not necessary for functional code, another fallacy).
Let me show you the comment that is above that line of code:
// The +1 here is very important, it is there for the case when there are // 3 bytes of a 4 byte character in the partialChar array, and so this data // should contain the final byte, but that one byte will become 2 Chars. val charBuffer = CharBuffer.allocate(data.length + 1)
Understand it now? Was there any way that I could have written the code that would have explained that? Was there any variable name that I could have given it that would have explained it better than that comment? No, it just needed a simple comment explaining its purpose. Without the comment, you'd be sitting there wondering why on earth I had added 1, you might have even thought "this is allocating more memory than needed, I'll just optimise this" and you would have injected a bug. In this case, a comment is aptly suited to making the code understandable. The comment complements the code. It is necessary and the best way of describing it.
And the fact is that we come across things every day where some really obscure edge case means we have to do some otherwise obscure behaviour. Maybe in a world of higher order logic this isn't the case, but we work in a world of far less than perfect protocols with edge cases that are impossible to memorise, where optimising an equals comparison to return early when you encounter the first character that isn't equal is a security vulnerability, where bugs in other software that our software has to interface to means we have to do counter intuitive things to work around their issues, and where some things are just plain hard to get your heard around, and sometimes a little plain English (or whatever language you speak) just does that little bit to helping you or the next developer make sense of it all.
Comments complement code. Good code does not negate the need of comments. Good code includes comments where comments are needed.

Good code is its own best documentation. As you're about to add a comment, ask yourself, 'How can I improve the code so that this comment isn't needed?'
Good code does not negate the need of comments. Good code includes comments where comments are needed.Would you be surprised to tell you that I agree with both statements :) ? The first statement doesn't say you should never use comments.
I see comments as an indicator of code that is hard to read (by itself). Many times code can be refactored to remove the comment:
Why have this:
Date date; // birth datewhen you can (and should) have this instead:
Date birthDate;The need for performance often makes the code harder to read - and in need of comments. Which is one of the reasons why you should use a profiler before making performance optimizations - if the code is not called often enough, the performance optimization doesn't really matter, but you end-up with code that is hard to read and maintain. It's a different story if you are writing a library, of course (you don't know how often the code is going to be invoked).
Non-obvious things, like you have in your example, needs comments.
But too many times comments are used to document bad code, instead of fixing it.
