The Myth of Explaining and Defending
Most people do one of three things when someone is trying to control them:
• They give in
• They resist
• They try to control back
If you are trying to control someone with your explaining or defending, they are likely to resist or try to control back with their own anger, blame, explaining or defending. Then each of you is trying to get the other to give in. But even if one of you does give in, the energy between you is strained rather than loving. You might win the war but lose the love.
When each person opens his or her heart to learning and caring and kindness, then whatever the issue is can get resolved. Resolution occurs only when you drop your intent to control and move into an intent to learn and love.

Gear Question
Will these fit OK with a Sierra Crew? &...
Will these fit OK with a Sierra Crew? & Flow Rift Boots? Im a size 8.5 looking to get a medium
Kris McGregor
Yeah man you should be good to go. Ride makes their bidings fit the best with Ride boots(like most companies), but obv they are compatable to almost every boot out. You will just have a lil more play in the cage of the binding(foot bed, heel cup and sides), but not overly much. I had a pair of 32 Lashes with a pair of Ride Beta's and there was a lil more room than I would have liked. But to be honest it ddnt make any difference to me because I have size 12 boots and L/XL bindings. So smashing my big ass feet into larger bindings was ok for me. But these should be just fine for ya. Hope this helped bro
A large fits 8-11. Depending on the volume of the boot, it would be safer to go with a Large and size the heel cup short.

Eurosport they are showing tennis between 1200 to 1315, and guess what happen, they shows some stupid horses jumping the fence, this is really stupid!!!!!!!!!
May 6th, 2002, 01:11 PM
I never trust eurosport!
I wonder about something else? do they they show the french open this year? or will they only have soccer the second week?:mad:
May 6th, 2002, 01:45 PM
They were showing cycling (recorded though, not 'live') between 12pm and 1pm on British Eurosport (which is when they had said they would show the Hamburg final), and now showjumping :( . Does anyone know when/if they are going to show the Hamburg final or have they just cancelled it?
Eurosport is getting rapidly worse with their tennis coverage: no Gaz de France, no Antwerp, no Dubai International, no Hamburg and next week, apart from a recorded final, no Berlin either! :mad: . (OK, I know they are supposed to be planning good coverage of Rome ;) ) but no doubt when the World Cup is on, that will be their next excuse for not showing any tennis :(
(As you can tell I'm pretty annoyed with them! ;) )

Welcome to the community. I'm so sorry to hear that you've been through as much as you have. We don't have all the answers here either, but I for one am always willing to listen. Sounds like you have some tough decisions ahead. If you haven't come across it yet, this website looks like a great place to get more information on help that's available for you and your family - Assistance for Unemployed California.
Kindest Regards,
I think Atheism is something that is growing in this country. Maybe there have been Atheists all along, but people are just now coming out and being open about who they are and what they do and don't believe. I think Atheism is the new "gay" where is has taken the gay community decades to be accepted and they are still fighting a tough battle. We will be for years to come. Many Christians don't think of Atheism as a legitimate protected belief when it comes to freedom of religion. They'll protect anything but "no religion."
I'm sorry you and your family have had to deal with such a hard blow. I think it's terrible that Christians think it's ok to shun people this way rather than respect your beliefs and wish you the best. From personal experience, I think many of them feel personally betrayed in these kinds of cases because they've made it their life's work to shepherd people into the flock, but they don't know how to handle it when someone in their flock wants to leave. They are offended and it's really beyond their comprehension how you could know all the same things they know and come to a different conclusion. I'm like you though...it just doesn't add up when you use logic. I also don't like feeling like there is always something weighing me down, looking over my shoulder, and judging me.
Atheists need to open up more with each other so we know we're not alone. I wish you well.

Maybe the rule was in anticipation if teams went to playing frequent doubleheaders.

I don't really see the point to the rule. I believe LSU was the last team in last year as an at-large and they had a losing record. On the one hand, we're going to go with this ITA formula that says that they are better than South Florida (the first team out) but then someone is going to step in and say that because LSU played a tougher schedule that they can't go to the dance?
South Florida is a bad example because they actually played a challenging schedule, but some team from a clown conference that goes 25-2 against nobody is going to end up getting in over an SEC or ACC team that goes 12-13 with 12 wins against ranked teams.

Apple Now Offering "No Questions Asked" Refunds in European iTunes Store
MCVUK reports today that Apple has changed its refunds policy in the European iTunes store. Apparently the change actually took place last month, but no one noticed until now!
Previously, anyone that requested to be able to return any digital purchase from iTunes and get their payment refunded would have their request dealt with individually on a case-by-case basis, with Apple having the final decision on whether or not the customer's request for a refund would be granted.
Now, however, any digital purchase can be returned, and the customer refunded their money, within 14 days of purchase. The change brings Apple into line with new digital retail rules in Europe that say that customers are entitled to a refund on all purchases, including digital purchases.
By law, a refund does not... -
Apple Updates its iTunes Store App With a New 'Free on iTunes' Section
Apple has updated its iTunes Store app on iOS and desktop with a new "Free on iTunes" section that is now available on the homepage. This new feature will allow Apple users to find free content much easier, without having to waste a lot of time browsing for these items.
The "Free on iTunes" tab shows music and full length TV show episodes that can be downloaded free of charge.
You will find there such content as songs by Asking Alexandria, Machine Head, Rogue Wave, and episodes from TV shows like 12 Monkeys, Backstrom, and more. By the looks of it, this seems to be more indie content, instead of media coming from big production names.
The new section seems to be available only in the US iTunes Store for now, but it could gradually roll out to other countries, as well.

Samsung Said to Have Won 75% of orders for the Production of Apple's Next-generation A9 Chip
According to a fresh report coming from South Korean publication Maeil Business Newspaper, Samsung has reportedly nabbed 75% of Apple's next-gen 'A9' SoC orders. So, if we are to believe this report, no matter how much Apple wouldn't want to reduce its dependency on Samsung, the company seems to be the single one able to responsibly manufacture on its own the chips for the future iPhones and iPads.
The publication says Samsung's factory from Austin, Texas will handle a 75 percent slice of orders for Apple's upcoming System-on-Chip, which is expected to be dubbed "A9".
Apple could be using Samsung's advanced 14-nanometer FinFET fabrication process, according to sources. Before the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus launch, Samsung was responsible for fabricating all A-series chips, but Apple has... -
Apple Hires Burberry's VP of Digital to Help with the Rollout of the Apple Watch
The latest rumors and hearsay seem to point to the fact that the upcoming Apple Watch will be launched sometime in March. Now, according to a fresh report coming from 9to5Mac publication, it seems that Apple has made another important hire from the fashion industry.
Mark Gurman says Apple has hired Chester Chipperfield, the Vice President of Digital and Interactive Design at Burberry. Previously, Chipperfield was "responsible for User Experience and Digital Design for all channels" and was "highly involved in digital retail initiatives" at Burberry, according to his social media channels. Here are some more details:
With experience in digital initiatives for a fashion powerhouse, Chipperfield will likely be critical in the rollout of the Apple Watch over the next few months.

Fresh Patent Reveals Apple's Interest in Smarter Cover and New Gesture Controls for the iPad
A recent patent application published by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, dubbed "Device Input Modes With Corresponding User Interfaces," details a method that would allow iPad users to access information on their devices by partially opening the Smart Cover. The patent application reads:
"The device's ease of use can be increased by enabling access to certain resources or features without requiring the user to unlock the device"
AppleInsider found the patent and they discovered that the smart cover could also interpret specific gestures, which would allow iPad owners to quickly change certain settings. Here's more:
Folding away the first segment of the Smart Cover could reveal the latest notification, such as the subject and sender of an email message, for instance. Further... -
Tim Cook Received Compensation Valued at $9.22M in 2014, SVP of Retail Angela Ahrendts Got $73.35M
Apple's board members earnings for the past year were revealed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The documents revealed that CEO Tim Cook received compensation of over $9.22 million in 2014, which is more than double his pay from 2013.
The $9.22 million that Tim Cook earned includes the $1.75 million salary, $6.7 million in non-equity incentives and other company contributions. Cook's salary in 2013 amounted to $1.4 million, but these numbers don't reflect the $69.6 million in vested stock options. When he took over as CEO in 2011, Cook received a $378 million payout package and a $372.6 million one-time stock award scheduled to vest through 2021.
What's interesting, however, is that the newly appoint SVP of Retail, Angela Ahrendts, who was hired on in... -
Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride Comes to iOS
The fifth instalment in the Dragon Quest series arrives in the App Store today for iOS.
Thought to be one of the best games in the entire series, Dragon Quest V: The Hand of the Heavenly Bride was first released in 1992 exclusively in Japan, but became a fan-favourite in Europe when it was finally released on Nintendo DS in 2009.
The storyline follows the adventures of a young boy on his journey to adulthood as he meets friend and foe alike. The plotline spans three generations, with the boy starting out on his travels with his father, Pankraz, and eventually ending up as a father himself.
If you've ever played any Dragon Quest game on any device or console, then you'll know what to expect—classic hardcore RPG gameplay in a magical environment populated by much loved characters,... -
HoloLens: Microsoft's Most Intriguing Reveal During Windows 10 Briefing
This isn't Apple related news, but it's one of the biggest moves of their competitor and is the buzz of the internet today, so we thought it worth sharing here.
There is something we missed in our reporting yesterday of Microsoft's Windows 10 briefing. The product wasn't actually directly related to Windows 10, so please forgive us for our oversight. Once you see this tech, (if you haven't already) you may have reason to be irritated with us for missing it.
After discussing Windows 10, Microsoft also announced an experimental new product which they have been working on for over 5 years. It's called HoloLens, and it's basically everything Google Glass wants to be and much, much more. In fact, HoloLens may just be the next "disruptive" tech device that shakes up the entire electronics... -
Twitter Starts Rolling out "While you Were Away" Tecaps for its iOS Users
Twitter has almost 300 million monthly active users with around 500 million Tweets being sent per day. A good part of these tweets come from iPhone and iPad users. The company is well aware of that and that's why it is now releasing a really useful feature for them.
Twitter is rolling out its "While you were away" recaps for its iOS app which will allow iPhone and iPad users to see a snapshot of popular or relevant tweets they missed since the last time they checked in. Twitter also said the feature will be launching soon on its Android app and web interface soon.
Paul Rosania, Twitter's Product Manager, made the announcement yesterday on the company's official blog, saying the following:

JS order form formatting questions.
Hello fellow programmers. I am currently in a JS class and have become stomped on part of the assignment. If anyone can provide guidance on how to format these order form functions, I will be much appreciative.
1. Within the <script> tags at the top of the file, create a function named "loadform()" that displays the current date in the formdate field and then moves the cursor focus to the qtyl field and selects it. Hint: Apply both the focus() and select() methods to the qtyl input box, and run the loadform() function when the page is loaded by the browser.
2. Below the loadform() function, insert a function named total_price that calculates the sum of the numeric values of the sub1 through sub8 fields.
3. Below the total_price function, create a function named tax_price() that adds the values of the sub1 through sub6 fields and then multiples that total by 0.05. Use the dollars() function to display this value rounded to two decimal places.
Attached is a word doc of the program so not to blow this thread up. I should be able to complete the rest of the assignment once I have an understanding about the formats. If anymore information is needed, please let me know.

Sorry, we will not do your homework for you. See forum rule #1.5. If you make a substantial effort yourself and post your code here then doubtless someone will help you correct/improve it.
This student assignment has come up before. See for example http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=253788 It seems to be rather old. Displaying a value with 2 decimal places is best done with .toFixed(2).
All advice is supplied packaged by intellectual weight, and not by volume. Contents may settle slightly in transit.

All the code given in this post has been tested and is intended to address the question asked.
Unless stated otherwise it is not just a demonstration.

That's the situation where you definitely need to ask the teacher for help since you either completely missed the class where the material that you are supposed to be using was taught or the teacher did an extremely poor job of explaining it.
The question that you have specifies a number of things that you are supposed to do that are considered to be extremely poor practice for real scripts and so without knowing exactly what constructs that you were supposed to have learnt how to use in order to create this contrived script it is impossible to advise you on where to start. Only your teacher has sufficient information on the purpose of the question to advise you as to which of the hundreds or thousands of possibilities is the one you are supposed to be using.
There ismore than one reason why you mneed to have something approximating the answer before you can ask for help in a forum. That there are lots of solutions to any given problem and that most will not use the code you are supposed to have just learnt means that it isn't just that others don't want to help when you haven't at least got part way yourself - its that we can't help because we have no idea of what code you are supposed to know.

Good Question: Could Drone Delivery Really Take Off?
On CBS' 60 Minutes, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos announced a plan to deliver packages within 30 minutes by unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones. Amazon's "Prime Air' service could be used for packages which weigh less than five pounds, and can only be sent to destinations that are within 10 miles of an Amazon distribution center. Bezos said he hopes the service could be ready in four years. "I know this looks like science fiction," Bezos said. "It's not." So, how realistic is this idea?

Just yesterday the installer completed the basic install. He's tweaking the surround back at the shop still but we've been enjoying our first burns. So far so good. We didn't expect it to heat the whole house but it's doing better than I'd expected.
The only problem we've had is that at first we thought too much smoke was escaping out the door when we opened it to add wood, or when first lighting. The draw up the flue just didn't seem strong enough. Then I noticed that the baffle board that sits on top of the manifold tubes had shifted over to the left about 2" during transit/install, messing up the flow. After fixing that it seems to perform much better. Now we just have to find the happy medium of burn time vs heat output. Lots of experimentation to follow! - Don |

This inspiration was also paired with the fact that I was thoroughly displeased with the weight machines they have at the gym I signed up for over the summer (they're pretty much the only game in town) while I'm in Texas. They just didn't *feel* right. I'm not really sure that I accomplished much, considering I lifted pretty light as I knew my balance was WAY off (and boy, was it), but I'm proud. I did 2 sets, 10 reps each of bench presses with just the bar, the same number of bicep curls with 15 lb dumbbells, and the same number of shoulder presses with the 15 lb dumbbells. Then I moved over to the pulley machines for lat pull-downs and rows (should I figure out a way to do these without the pulley machines?). Now, all I need to do is read up in my NRLW book so that I can get more variety in my exercises and get some sort of routine going!

Specific Things To Look For in 2013 NFL Preseason
Fantasy owners would prefer these things get figured sooner rather than later
Well, it's here. The first week of preseason games in the NFL. And with it (hopefully) comes the answer to many questions about certain situations for those of us who indulge in our favorite hobby: fantasy football. Now it's unlikely we're going to get definitive answers this early in the preseason, but there are some things I am hoping we start getting answers to sooner rather than later. I recently blogged about what to look for in preseason, but that was a list of things in general. These are a bit more specific.
How is the chemistry between Tom Brady and his WR's in New England?
We heard some glowing reports out of the joint practices between the Patriots and Eagles about Brady, but seeing him in action with a new crop of WR's (and TE's) will go a long way in determining if he retains his status as an elite fantasy QB. Julian Edelman is the only viable holdover from last season at WR but he's an oft-injured middling talent. Can Danny Amendola be the new Wes Welker? How will drafted rookies Aaron Dobson and Josh Boyce look? Is undrafted rookie Kenbrell Thompkins really as good as all the training camp hype he's received? Can we finally put Michael Jenkins out to pasture? Another undrafted rookie getting a lot of hype is TE Zach Sudfeld. Reports say he is pushing Daniel Fells for being the pass catching TE until Rob Gronkowski gets back on the field. These are the things fantasy players will be paying special attention to tomorrow night and throughout the preseason.
Will it be Michael Vick or Nick Foles for Philadelphia?
I never really bought into the hype about Foles leading the competition to be the Eagles starting QB throughout OTA's, and even though Vick supposedly has outplayed Foles in training camp, Chip Kelly says Vick will start the first preseason game Foles the second. You would expect that if Kelly really felt that one guy was superior to the other he would want to make sure that player was getting as many reps as he could with the starters. I'm 75% convinced that Vick will be the guy in week 1 of the regular season, but there's that other 25% of me that isn't so sure.
Will Giovani Bernard push Benjarvus Green-Ellis into a short yardage/goal line role?
There's been a lot of talk about Bernard from Bengals camp. He's an excellent receiving RB and offers a lot more burst and explosion as a runner than BGE. It's not that BGE is a poor RB (he did manage to rush for over 1,000 yards last season, but averaged less than 4 yards per attempt to do it) but simply put, he is just a power RB with little speed, mediocre hands, and is not a very creative runner in open space. Bernard is supposed to be the opposite. Some think it may take a few weeks into the season for Bernard to really push BGE out of the starting role, but a good preseason by Bernard can make that happen a lot sooner.
Which Packers RB will be "the guy"?
Up until recently it was a common question, but Eddie Lacy reportedly blew away everyone in a recent scrimmage and has the inside track. I liked Lacy coming out in the draft and wasn't nearly as concerned as some about his foot issue. But Mike McCarthy made some waves earlier today when he referred to DuJuan Harris as his "starter". While I think this was just a way to make sure Lacy doesn't just assume the job is his from here on out, Harris did do pretty well in this past postseason. I do fully expect Lacy to be the lead RB, but will he be a 3 down workhorse RB? His ability to catch the ball and provide good pass protection blocking will be the key.
Which Rams RB will assert himself as being the lead RB?
This one has all the look of a true RBBC heading into preseason, but there's a chance one of Daryl Richardson, Isaiah Pead, Zac Stacy, and Terrence Ganaway will stand out over the others. Richardson and Pead both lack the size to be more than 12-15 carry guys and both are more like change of pace speed guys. Stacy is a power runner who lacks specialness to his game and Ganaway is a big bruising RB with little wiggle. Stacy seems to be the best suited for lead RB on early downs, but he's done little in training camp to stand out. Richardson gets a lot of the publicity, and did fairly well last season when he was given chances, but it's hard to really believe in a 5'11", 195 lbs primary RB. Pead is almost exactly the same size and his suspension for the first game of the season could cost him if one of the others stands out.
Will any of the Ravens WR's besides Torrey Smith distinguish themselves?
Jacoby Jones has had his opportunities to be a starter with mediocre results before when he was with the Houston Texans, but the other candidates aren't that appealing. Deonte Thompson, Tandon Doss, Tommy Streeter, Aaron Mellette, and a host of even lesser knowns are jockeying for position. None command any excitement, but someone has to step up, don't they?
Will either E.J. Manuel or Geno Smith do well enough in preseason to win the QB jobs in Buffalo and New York?
While rookie QB's usually struggle to make an impact, we've seen it happen quite a bit recently. And since Kevin Kolb and Mark Sanchez are the only things in their way, it doesn't take much imagination to see both of these rookies getting the start week 1 for their respective teams. And if the coaches are smart and make sure the offense they run is friendly to that QB's strengths and doesn't make it too hard for them right away, either or both could actually sneak into the realm of being a consideration as a backup fantasy QB.

I just received a small hosta order that I tagged for a September delivery since I just had knee surgery and cannot plant them now. What is the best way to keep them alive and healthy until I can plant them in mid September? Should I pot them up or can the roots stay in water? DD |

Welcome to the forum lovesallflowers. I see you registered today and jumped right into the conversation. There is a great group of hosta lovers here who are very knowledgeable and friendly. Do you generally plant all your hosta in pots or are they in a holding pattern until you are able to plant them in the ground? DD |
- Posted by gardenweed_z6a N CT (My Page) on Thu, Aug 21, 14 at 19:29
While mid-September isn't too far off, I'd pot them up so the roots can grab onto something other than air for the time being. Roots are generally happier in soil than in water. That being said, I dug & divided a half dozen mature hostas this year and set the divisions in a large, shallow (6" deep) storage bin under my crabapple tree. We had sufficient rain to keep the storage bin filled with water all summer and the hostas did fine. Planted one today and have another waiting for a new home in dirt. |
Just throw them on the driveway like I do. A little watering and you're good to go. Maybe a better idea would be to pot them or have your honey plant them : ) |
- Posted by DelawareDonna 5A (My Page) on Thu, Aug 21, 14 at 21:10
Mac - If I had a honey, do you think I would be asking for advice! lol DD |
I have had great success with keeping hosta in water. That said, when kept in water I have not noticed much if any root growth. Would be interesting to do a bit of testing to see what environment types actually stimulates / deters hosta root growth. At this time of the year I would recommend potting them up as any additional root growth will make the plant stronger and may aid the size of next years emergence. Margaret |
The only experience I have with keeping hosta in water is soaking bare rooted plants before planting. I would think if you leave any plant in water you have a great chance of turning the crown into mush. I would pot them up. Hydroponics is a very costly and sophisticated science. Jon |

i would not leave them in water for that long.. especially if they were cut by the seller ... get a local punk .. or beloved grandson.. fine line there.. lol ... to dig one hole.. and shove them all in.. its called 'healing them in' ... or put them all in one pot ... or ... put some media in a wheelbarrow and just heal them in that way ... they are not aquatics ... no standing in water for more than a few days ... substitute DH for punk ... lol ... ken |
- Posted by DelawareDonna 5A (My Page) on Fri, Aug 22, 14 at 9:54
I'm short on pots, but I do have a bucket I can use to plant them in for now - so I'll go that route. Thanks for the help. DD |

Dear Donna, I hope you have a speedy recovery from your knee surgery. I don't know first-hand but I've heard good things from people who follow doctor's orders - if you are allowed to get back to gardening around mid September, that's fairly quick, isn't it? Time passes so quickly.... I think you have to follow your instincts and do what is comfortable for you re your hostas. The least worrysome is to pot them and have them at a height where it is comfortable for you to water them. That is, if you have potting media handy and pots at the ready. Sounds like Gardenweed and I treat our hostas similarly - I, too, have had them sit in water for weeks before planting. The only reason for crown rot is if the water is not changed every couple of days and the crown is allowed to be sitting under water. ( just be sure there is no remnants of soil on the roots to funk up the water) Hostas are not "delicate" perennials as we hosta lovers have come to know...and water is not their enemy, lol. If you've received yours bare-root they can do with a water bath (soaking their feet only) for a few days. I'll mention it again...in China, in some places, they are sitting in clear vases on display until sold (who knows how long they sit in water?) and the root system is substantial! Just recently I received a division of Orange Marmalade from my daughter, a third of which was hacked off without any root. I placed this section in water ... about two weeks ... when the roots were at least or close to an inch, I planted it. It has put out a new flush of leaves and growing nicely. (During water changes I rinsed roots with a 10% bleach OR ammonia solution, which I rinsed off when placing plant back in fresh water.) Think of rooting perennials from cuttings - once they have grown roots, they can continue growing that way as well for quite some time till the grower gets around to potting it, or planting it. Again, it's a comfort level and an individual choice. My advice is to simply do what you are comfortable with without having to worry while you are convalescing. You take care now, Donna! Best wishes for a speedy recovery! Sincerely, P.S. Maybe you'll post some more fab pics??? :-) |

Tearing up here, Jo. What a lovely open letter to post to me on this forum. Great advice, too. I tore my Medial Meniscus which is outpatient surgery - not like a total knee replacement. By mid September, by golly, I figure, if I can get down on the ground, I can dig a hole. lol The garden is starting to get carpy. I may have a couple of good photos left to post - we'll see. I always love seeing your wonderful hosta collection and gorgeous photos, too. I scored a tour de force this year - a wonderful compliment from KEN..... what more can I hope for! dd |
- Posted by ken_adrian MI z5 (My Page) on Fri, Aug 22, 14 at 11:35
i hope the bucket has drainage ... if not.. make sure its not subject to rain ... moisten your media first ... and try to keep the bucket cool ... and try not to turn it into a bog ... ken |

I'll pound a couple of holes into the bottom. Looks I'm set to go. DD |
Oh dear! Josephine- Please edit that "10% bleach/ammonia" to read "10% bleach OR ammonia" in water. The two mixed together will made a deadly gas that can kill humans. Some people read this forum and get confused and.... -Babka |
- Posted by josephines67 5 ON (My Page) on Fri, Aug 22, 14 at 16:13
Babka, I edited as you suggested. The slash is meant as an either/or but it is safer to stipulate, I agree. Thank you. :-) |
Jo- I would imagine that 99% of people who read that knew exactly what you meant. But about once a year I read about some over zealous person who uses both to clean a toilet and winds up dead on the floor. Probably not going to happen outside, but people do some pretty strange things. -Babka |

Good News. My DS, the master class runner, has volunteered to plant my new hostas and also to help with relocating some other ones. DD |
- Posted by josephines67 5 ON (My Page) on Fri, Aug 22, 14 at 21:03
Way to go!!! Real happy for you! A lovely DS too! |
I had faith that you'd find a " honey" to get your planting done. Happy days ! |
DD- (Delaware Donna, not dear daughter...)) Oh, geez, you are going to owe her big time. But then if she will do that for you, I'd be willing to bet that you have done similar favors for her too. You two is good people. ;-) -Babka |
- Posted by DelawareDonna 5A (My Page) on Fri, Aug 22, 14 at 23:04
Babka, actually my DS is my darling son who has a lot of stamina and takes direction well. It would have been great to have a darling daughter or two. Thanks for the compliment. We're all good people on this forum. DD |
Argh. I was thinking "Dear Sister". My sons would never have volunteered to do that supreme act of kindness. Never had any darling daughters...but now I have a couple of darling granddaughters, but alas, being teenagers, they would never volunteer for planting duty. -Babka |
Kind of long story but relates. Last year I dug up three old and crowded hostas, Hyacinthia, Allan P McConnell and Gold Border. I literally threw them behind my compost pile and forgot about them. This year in mid July they were thriving, I cleaned the soil off the roots, threw them all in a couple buckets of water and never planted them in the ground for three weeks. They are all doing good, save for the hail damage. |

mlb.com gameday audio, which one must have a subscription, shows that the Twins are broadcasting the Reds @ Twins. The Pittsburgh game is not showing either team broadcasting.
Can't win with 'em
Can't win without 'em
I'm a subscriber to Gameday Audio and I see nothing.
And now they finally pop up (the Twins game, at least). Sorry about that.
An update from Marc.
SARASOTA -- I should have mentioned, cult hero Rob Stratton is one of the players available for today's game against the Pirates. Looking forward to seeing the big fella out there.
Also, I'm thinking it's about time to roll out the spring training edition of the Day-in-the-Life blog. I feel like I should do it for a road game, but I'm not sure when to do it. Tomorrow's almost too short a trip to do it justice. I'll think about it and we'll see. Maybe the Red Sox trip next Tuesday.

Unrelated question, but to listen on the Internet, is it possible to pay to listen to one game? My daughter is working in DC as a Jesuit volunteer this year and would like to pay to listen to Opening Day, but can't afford the whole season. I recall it was like $3.95 a game - do they still do it that way?
Thanks, folks.
No. I think you have to buy the whole package.

Here's how Sean Casey's return to Sarasota went:
SARASOTA -- Michael Gosling just hit Sean Casey in the head with a pitch. He went down hard, but he seems OK. He stayed in the game to run the bases, but has been lifted between the top and bottom of the third.

Glad he's alright. Sean Casey's too nice a guy to get hit in the head. That should be against the rules.

I've been here for a little while so I decided it was time to post some pictures of my current collection. Plus I don't have job and I needed a break from searching the net and posting my resume. My 2 XD's. 4" model in 45ACP and a sub compact 9mm. 6" S&W 19-4, 357 Mag. Mossberg ATR in 30-06 with a Nikon Prostaff on top. Bought this in college as a cheap hunting set up and was pleasantly surprised with it's accuracy. Winchester 1300 Turkey 12ga. Bought this beauty at the age of 12 after saving up for what seemed like forever. Looked exactly like this the day I picked it up. I've put countless thousands of rounds thru it and will never sell this one!

Next is my Great Grandfather's 22 Marlin. It was given to my dad when he was a kid while his grandfather was deathly ill. My understanding is that it came from the factory this way. A late 60's Spainish made Stoeger 16ga SxS. Great bird gun! Dove fear me when I'm in the field with this one... This is a 16ga Wards model 60(Stevens 620) I picked up cheap. The stock was cut so I put the pad on. It's a great shooter and I took a deer with it last year. An H&R single shot 410 I picked up super cheap. It's fun to play with.
That's a nice collection you got going there brother. You seem to be minus a 1911 though... JD
Understood. I put my AR build on hold as well. Good luck in finding yourself a new job brother - stay positive and stay motivated! JD
Dillinger Why don't you help a brother out and send him one of your Nighthawks? He could shoot it a little and see if he likes it.
There's a problem with that plan Tango, I would have to rely on spittin to actually give the thing back! LOL Once you shoot one of them, you won't want to be without it, and it would just lead to a huge court case with us fighting for custody of the poor child, caught in the middle.... JD
Plus I'm at an even number, the 22 still belongs to my dad I just borrowed it for squirrel season. If you get an odd number, they don't play well together. Almost forgot...I promise to send it back CLEAN!!

You're a creator. You're powerful. You're perfect, whole and healed.
And it's just possible you don't feel that way. In fact, that last statement might have you calling "bullshit".
I get it, because I've been there. Sometimes you wonder if you're broken; if everyone else has the secret of getting their dream life… except for you. And sometimes that brings tears or rage or the flush of shame.
You are not alone.
Most of us were raised to believe we are powerless, including me.
It took many years before I learned the startling truth: not only are we powerful beyond belief, but we humans possess a simple biological mechanism which allows us to create our reality every day.
It's your brain. And knowing how it works can unlock your power in ways you may never have imagined.
My name is Janette Dalgliesh. I'm the author of Your Everyday Superpower, and I have a passion for your empowerment.
I blend the latest thinking in neuroscience and biology with the ancient wisdom of mind-body-spirit and the Law of Attraction.
Work with me as your coach, and I'll hold the lantern so you can (re)connect with your everyday superpower.
Where to next?
See whether you think we'd be a good fit, by downloading one of my fab free resources.
You deserve to live a life of peace, joy and wholeness. It's time for you to claim it.

There is definitely a huge floral motif happening in the fashion industry right now, and the Opening Ceremony Resort 2012 lookbook plays on it heavily. With a retro vibe infused everywhere from the styling to the set, this shoot has a flowery aesthetic that is definitely eye catching. I especially like how the backdrop shifts between Victorian wallpaper and blown-up images of fields and foliage.
Shot by famed photographer Tim Barber, the Opening Ceremony Resort 2012 lookbook features the label's first ever resort collection. Like the relatively wild backdrops in the catalog, this collection is a riot of colors, patterns and textures. Stylist Avena Gallagher was probably in heaven when creating these looks.
The Opening Ceremony Resort 2012 lookbook stars Camille Rowe who had her hair done by Dennis Lanni and makeup by Frank B.

HELENA — What are the things we carry? And what are the things that Montana ancestors carried and so cherished that they gifted them to the Montana Historical Society?
A new exhibit at the society that opened this week, "Montana Territorial Legacy: The Montana Historical Society" displays just a small cache of the treasure trove.
Almost as long as there has been a Montana – there's been a Montana Historical Society.
Montana Territory was signed into law May 26, 1864, by President Abraham Lincoln.
Less than nine months later, the historical society was created by Montana's Territorial Legislative Assembly as one of its first acts — signed into law by Territorial Governor Sidney Edgerton Feb. 2, 1865. Because of these farsighted pioneers, the Montana Historical Society is the oldest institution of its kind in the American West and is now world-renowned, drawing scholars from across America and the world.
"This exhibit focuses on our collection," said senior curator Jennifer Bottomly-O'looney. "It is a broad cross-section of some of the society's extraordinary materials."
And quite an eclectic collection it proves to be.
As Wilbur Fisk Sanders said, when he headed the historical society in its infancy, "Here is a society of your own creation … organized for your own uses, conducted in your own interest, to preserve your own story, and to keep in perpetual memory the manner of men (and women) you are."
Out of MHS drawers, cabinets and storage rooms come some fascinating items, often with intriguing stories they could tell.
One eye-catching item is an Assiniboine doll in multicolored dress. "It's a wonderful, large doll," said Bottomly-O'looney. "It has everything an Assiniboine woman would have. She has beaded moccasins, a belt decorated with tacks, a beaded awl case bag and a beaded necklace."
Standing nearby in the same case are also a Blackfeet warrior doll, complete with bow and arrow; Taddy, a very beloved and worn Teddy bear; a "magic lantern," with its own slideshow; and screw-on ice skates worn by a boy skating in Rimini and on Union Square Ice Rink in Helena.
Adult toys are also part of the territorial exhibit — such as an early slot machine, a pair of cross-country skis and a Victrola.
Some items tell of accomplishment — such as Fannie Sperry Steele's rodeo saddle that her husband Bill commissioned for her after she won the title of Lady Bucking Horse Champion of the World in 1914.
The famous bronc rider grew up on a ranch breaking horses in the shadow of the Sleeping Giant. She always rode "slick," said Bottomly-O'looney. "Back then women could wear the spurs hobbled (meaning they were tied to the saddle), but she refused."
She also won Women's Champion Bronco Buster in 1913, World Champion Lady Bucking Horse Rider in 1912 and was inducted into the National Rodeo Hall of Fame in 1975.
Other MHS goodies include an adobe brick plucked from the ruins of old Fort Benton; a book on the vigilantes, which was the first book published in Montana Territory; as well as a vigilante warning sign complete with skull and crossbones and 3-7-77, a secret number associated with the Montana Vigilantes.
There's also an oak tombstone for Langford Peel, which once stood in the cemetery located where Central School now stands. It was gifted to the society by Wilbur Fisk Sanders.
Born in Liverpool, Peel was 36 when he was shot in the back in a Helena bar fight. According to his tombstone, "he was beloved by his friends and respected by his enemies."
"Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord…" is inscribed below.
Viewers will also see evidence of another tragic tale — the boot of Charlie Thomas, a child killed on the Bozeman Trail along with his father and another man when they pushed ahead of their wagon train. There's also a Little Big Horn Battlefield map and the Kessler banner carried into the Spanish/American War that later became the design of Montana's state flag.
And then there's the heart-wrenching farewell message written in chalk by miner Emil Anderson on a piece of powder box. He was in Montana's Smith Mine Disaster, the worst coal mine disaster in Montana history on Feb. 27, 1943: "Its 5 mins pass 11 o'clock … dear Agnes and children I'm sorry we had to go … God bless you all Emil with lots … kisses." The other side reads: "We try to do our best but we couldn't get out."
There were, of course, explorations with happier endings.
Some were in science. One of these — an early Holter heart monitor designed by Helenan Dr. Norman J. Holter — is on display, as well as a microscope used by the state's first entomologist James H. Pepper, whose research led to the first effective vaccine against Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Resting in the same display case is a gold pan and gold scale used in Alder Gulch, one of Montana's first gold strikes.
A distinctly Montana invention, the "Buckley Bomb," is also among Montana's treasures.
A sheet metal worker from Opportunity, James Buckley designed a "bomb" that didn't explode, but rather burst open and distributed leaflets encouraging enemy troops to surrender. It earned him the bronze star in World War II.
There are also some of the more expected treasures – among them a gorgeous and ornate silver service presented by the people of Montana to the Navy for the U.S.S. Montana; the original Montana Territorial Constitution and the 1972 Montana State Constitution; a Charlie Russell sculpture of Jim Bridger; a gold and diamond pocket watch from 1897; an array of intricately beaded bags, belts and gloves; and a Chinese porcelain spoon and dish.
What makes for a Montana treasure?
Apparently, much is in the eye of the beholder.
"Ultimately … the decision of what makes a treasure a treasure was not ours to make," said Bottomly-O'looney. "Rather, that judgment was made at some point in the past when someone decided that, for whatever reason, a prized object deserved to be saved for, and shared with, their fellow citizens and the generations yet to come."

Governments would be wise to tax retained earnings rather than profits to discourage cash piles. A healthy tax will make cash piles perishable, and encourage their movement
The success of liberal initiatives, and the defeat of socially conservative senate Tea Party candidates and Mitt Romney suggest a movement towards a more socially liberal country. Historically, the last great economic dislocation in the 1930s also led to rapid social liberalization as conservatives, exposed as unable to manage a successful economy, lost their moral sway as well. This seems to be happening in the wake of today's economic crisis. The social compact allows the establishment to...
Very persuasive Mr. Haas.
On a similar note, I think that if a strong leader moves the Republican party just a little, the Tea Party will self-deport itself. The Republicans adopted the Tea Party when they were down in 2009 and the Tea Party looked like a way to win. Now that the Tea Party looks like a way to lose, I don't think they'll be tolerated for long. Republicans are nothing if not ruthless.
The mirror never lies.
Did the GOP notice how Mr. Romney started his ascent in the polls while attempting to move to the center?
The job they get elected for is to best serve the people they represent by advancing the principles and ideas they were elected for through compromise and hard decisions.
The young, educated elite who create jobs and lead opinion trends are socially liberal and fiscally conservative. They support useful benefits and efficient government but not deficits or bureaucracy. The boomers, who have become less socially liberal with age and have always been fiscally profligate, are electorally important today but a diminishing breed. Getting in front of the libertarian trend will require adjustment by both parties, the Republicans most obviously, but the Democrats too...
Dear China,
Cut us a little slack. In most countries in the world (including you), the imperialistic hegemon, i.e. the US, is the default bogeyman upon whom to blame the country's woes. The US rarely complains about the aspersions cast its way, or even notices. So please spare a brief moment of sympathy for the US. Who is our default bogeyman? True, Americans also blame the US government, but you can't do that if you are the government, or plan to run it. So we need a go-to country on...
Conservatives have no where to go and Romney is smart enough to know he owes them nothing.
Would the American consulate in Benghazi have been less likely to be attacked if America had supported Israeli efforts to expand its settlements on the West Bank? How about if we had been more aggressive over the past two years in explicitly threatening to bomb Iran? Would America's standing in the Arab world be higher had we been more enthusiastically pro-Israel? It's a theory.

Have you ever noticed how movies tend to come in waves? A few years ago it seemed like every action movie had a space theme; then the following year the big new movies featured some kind of natural disaster. This past summer it seemed like every other movie was in 3-D. Technology, as we all know, has waves too, and the security industry is no different. For example, recently there has been a lot of talk about reputation-based security and suddenly it seems like every vendor is claiming to have some type of reputation technology. But, not all technologies are created equal, so I thought I'd take a few minutes to look at what makes Symantec's reputation-based technology so very different.
Why is a new approach needed?
Two fairly recent trends have had a negative impact on the effectiveness of traditional approaches to security. First, many of today's threats are highly polymorphic—they are able to easily hide because nearly every instance of the threat is ever so slightly different from its predecessor. Second, most threats today are delivered via Web-based attacks. The Web greatly eases the wide distribution of polymorphic threat variants and together these two techniques push the limits of conventional defenses. To put this in perspective, consider that Symantec has gone from generating dozens of new virus definitions per day ten years ago, to generating an average of more than 15,000 new virus definitions each day, so far, in 2009. Other security vendors are no different. Not only has the volume of signatures now become a potential resource drain on the client, but also each individual signature contributes far less to a users' overall protection. Clearly something better is needed.
What does Symantec mean by Reputation-based security?
More than three years in the making, Symantec's reputation-based technology uses "the wisdom of crowds" connected to cloud-based intelligence to identify malware in an entirely new way beyond traditional signatures and behavior-based detection. To do this, reputation-based technology gathers application data for both potentially good and bad programs from multiple sources, including:
• Anonymous data contributed by tens of millions of Norton Community Watch members
• Data provided by software publishers
• Anonymous data contributed by enterprise customers in a data collection program tailored to large enterprises
The data we collect is continually imported and fed into a reputation engine where dozens of attributes for each file, such as file age, file download source, digital signature, and file prevalence are combined using a statistical reputation algorithm to determine a file's safety reputation. This allows Symantec to produce a security reputation rating for every software file ever encountered by every participating Symantec user, all without ever having to scan the file itself.
So how is this different to what competitors are offering?
Many other vendors are currently talking about reputation as a novel approach, but on closer examination, it doesn't add up to much. In fact, it doesn't look like they're really talking about reputation at all, and it certainly doesn't look like they've addressed the real problem of those polymorphic malicious files. We commonly see two techniques being talked about a lot in the same sentence as reputation: "The cloud" and "website reputation." Let's look at each for a moment and consider why they don't really address the problem.
The cloud. Other vendors talk about shifting security "into the cloud" but they typically mean nothing more than hosted malware signatures. Instead of transporting all their signatures down to each individual user's machine, security vendors host them in the cloud. But there's a problem. To write a traditional signature, a security vendor needs to see the original piece of malware, but thanks to server-side polymorphic techniques, malware today typically spreads in very low numbers, meaning that most malware variants will never be discovered by these vendors. (Our studies have shown that the majority of new malware variants only ever exist on fewer than 50 machines in the entire globe.) And, if the vendor can't discover and obtain a copy of a malware sample, they obviously can't analyze it and write a signature for that file. So, while users may have to download fewer virus signatures to their computer, their overall protection level is still limited to those samples actually discovered by the security vendor, which has not changed. So here the cloud doesn't help much—it is speeding up access to signatures, but it doesn't provide any new security capabilities.
- Website reputation. So what about looking at the source of a software file, i.e. the website from where it came? Perhaps that can tell us something? When some vendors talk about reputation, they've taken just this approach. They've built systems that focus on examining the track record of a site to serve up either good or bad files. Again, here though, there's a problem. While it is true that many websites are set up solely to deliver malicious files to the unsuspecting user over time, unfortunately today there is a fundamental shift by attackers to try and target legitimate sites as the delivery mechanism for new malware. This proves problematic for website reputation systems because no security vendor will want to tarnish a reputable legitimate website with a bad reputation, and so the proliferation of malware continues.
Reputation-based technology is more than just another technology wave.
Reputation-based, predictive technology solves many of the problems of today's security landscape by creating an environment where Symantec never actually has to examine and analyze a malicious file in order to protect users from it. This nails the polymorphic threat issue on the head. Reputation-based technology is able to predict the likelihood of a brand new, never-before-seen file being either good or bad, simply by looking at its attributes. This greatly increases the speed at which its calculations can be made and makes it a much more robust, long-term solution for today's micro-distribution of malware climate.
We've been working on this brand new approach for the last three years. The data collection began in mid-2007 as part of our then "new" Norton Community Watch program, as a volunteer program. We first started to use this data in mid-2008 as part of our Norton 2009 products, in which a feature known as Norton Insight used the data to construct whitelists of known good applications (such applications don't need to be scanned repeatedly on our customer machines, thus leading to much faster security). Just a month ago we reached a new milestone with the launch of our 2010 Norton products that use reputation-based technology to block totally new and never-before-seen malicious files. We believe this technology is not just part of another wave, but rather defines an entirely new way of protecting our customers' machines.

Y JetSki indulges aquatic adventurers with a fleet of luxurious boats and action-ready jet skis. Voyagers of the excursion will cruise along the shores of Miami from Star Island to the high-rises of downtown in a 60-foot Gulf Craft yacht. Tunes, complimentary drinks, and snacks make it a floating party, like a hot air balloon filled with cocktail wieners. During the nighttime outing, softer music accompanies the journey as the city lights bathe the boat in a peaceful glow. Alternatively, plot your own course with 90 minutes atop an ocean-carving jet ski. Seven days a week, the high-powered watercraft propel wave wizards along Miami's dazzling coastline and all over the ocean bay. When fatigue sets in, jetters can anchor, relax, and illicitly sand-castle-smash at the nearby sandbar.
Back in 1955, Bayside Marketplace was abuzz with fishermen selling the day's catch to people eager to bring home a fresh dinner to their families. Today, the waterside marketplace still bustles with shoppers, but now both tourists and locals bob in and out of retail shops and restaurants, and stop mid-step to catch street performers in action. It's in this lively epicenter—which reminds many of San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf—that Boat Rental Miami calls home. Here, rental offices try to bring a bit of the past into the future through fishing trips and leisurely bouts at sea.
New and veteran boaters alike can visit the market's Pier 5 and board a wide range of vessels to experience the Atlantic Ocean or Biscayne Bay. Boat Rental Miami outfits boaters with sports boards with extended swim platforms, kraken deterrent, and wakeboard storage for fishing vessels with extra-quiet four-stroke motors. Frequent boaters can sign up for one of the club's membership programs and receive regular discounts on rentals, while novices can try their hand at steering during Saturday boating classes.
Buddy closes his eyes as he sits on the deck of Buddy's Dream, letting the ocean breeze run through his gold hair as his tongue flaps in the wind. Ernie, owner of South Beach Boat Rentals, appointed his golden retriever as the company's mascot, naming all of his boats after the pooch instead of using impersonal numbers or the names of favorite Congressmen. After retiring from directing films in New York, Ernie decided to move to Miami, where he fell in love with boating, which helped him forget day-to-day concerns as he skimmed over the water.
Ernie's fleet of rental boats includes powerboats and luxury yachts, such as a 25-foot Azure Luxury 250 horsepower bow rider or an 18-foot Sea Ray sports boat, which renters can pilot themselves with a valid driver's license and boating experience. Ernie also leads private tours, including the historical Stilts Ville tour or the popular two-hour Miami Waters tour, which zooms past the homes of celebrities such as Gloria Estefan and Shaquille O'Neal while giving stunning views of the Miami skyline.
Manned by a U.S. Coast Guard–certified crew, a Thriller SuperCat 55 power catamaran safely whisks patrons away on Thriller Miami Speedboat Adventures' 45-minute voyages that trek all the way into the Atlantic Ocean. After shipping out from Bayside Marketplace, captains navigate the vessel through Biscayne Bay, South Beach, and the Miami Gold Coast, granting guests sweeping views of Fisher Island, Miami Beach, South Beach's Art Deco district, and the towering Miami skyline. Conversant guides narrate each excursion, pinpointing sites of historical interest as they pass by and helping visitors identify multimillion-dollar dwellings owned by celebrities such as Shaquille O'Neal, Gloria Estefan, and Count Chocula.

Wind can really make a difference in whether a day is nice or whether it is pleasant. Today has been a very nice day - it was not too warm, but the wind was somewhat calm and it made it so much nicer being outside. Dad worked on the sprayer some more today. We had to return some parts and get replacements, which took almost all morning. Once we got back to the farm, I was able to transplant more tomatoes and work in the hoop house. Things are beginning to shape up as we get towards the end of April. I anticipate more cool weather; hoping for a more normal May. Even thought I wanted to get the tomatoes planted in the high tunnel, I have shifted my plans until next week and warmer weather. I think we are still early enough to have a jump on the season without risking to much.
Tomorrow I will be seeding and transplanting again. It looks like we will be getting some rain, so that will be great. Supper is almost ready and I am tired, so I am making my blog entry short. I hope you have a peaceful evening. God Bless!!

Front Office and Back Office
Front Office/Back Office
The terms Front Office and Back Office are generally used to describe the parts of the company (or of its information system) that are dedicated, respectively, to the direct relationship with the client and proper management of the company.
The Front-Office (sometimes also called Front line) refers to the front part of the company, visible for the clients and in direct contact with them, such as the marketing, user support, or after-sales service teams.
In turn, Back Office refers to all parts of the information system to which the final user does not have access. The term therefore covers all internal processes within the enterprise (production, logistics, warehousing, sales, accounting, human resources management, etc.).
In reality, Back Office and Front office are not entirely separate since the teams in charge of the customer relationship must know a minimum of information regarding the process of producing the product or providing the service of the company. In turn, the sectors that are dedicated to product design must be kept informed of problems that are encountered by the users or, in turn, their needs, in order to reenter a circle of continuous improvement.
