Recently, when I decided to make my projects available to the Java Community under Open Source license, I did a lit of things like Hosting my code on Google Code, using Maven to build and test the code and also making sure that I have a project site up and running.
However, even after all of this, there was one thing that was missing which was the most essential – "Hosting the project files on a repository so that users who may find these utilities useful may use it". I started to research on what was possible and after little research I found out that sonatype would allow me to deploy my code to Maven Central Repository.

Pronounced: Dak-re-o-sis-ti-tis
En Español (Spanish Version)The lacrimal sac helps drain excess tears from the eye. The sac starts near the inner corner of the eye and runs along the side of the nose. Tears move through tear ducts into this sac. The tears are then passed out into the nasal passages.
Dacryocystitis is swelling and irritation of this sac, which may also be infected.
Dacryocystitis is caused by a blocked tear duct. Tears become trapped in the sac and form a pool. Bacteria can then begin to grow in the tear pool and create an infection. Both the trapped tears and infection will cause swelling and irritation.

Hi guys :) I'm new here - me and my boyfriend have 5 house plants and I'm trying my best to research as much as possible to care for them and to help them be as healthy as possible. Our spider plant is causing me problems and I need advice on how to help it. We had it in the bathroom as my partner read they liked the steam from the shower but it was on the window so it was in too much sun light so the ends are brown an I've had to remove some yellow leaves.. I've now moved it back to where it was in the first place. the downstairs toilet next to the window but out of it's direct light. i was going to water it once a week and mist twice.. we put all purpose continuous release plant food in all of the twice a year an i'm going to collect rain water in a bucket to water as i think using tap water has upset them all with the salt.. any advice would be appreciated :) |

Hey, Hay... :) Actually, your Spider Plant looks good. Very healthy. Don't know you're location, but that sunny window that's too bright in summer, may be perfect during gray, winter months. Your b/f is right. Spiders enjoy humidity. Be sure the bathoom door is closed while showering so air stays humid longer. Rain and snow water is best...Times when neither are present, leaving a container of water out, at least 24-hours, does the trick. Over-watering can cause yellow leaves. You mentioned watering once a week. Plants should not be watered by schedule. Does the pot have drainage holes? Also, is there a window in its new location? IMO, Spiders do best in east-facing windows...if window/s do not have blinds or curtain. Have you considered hanging your Spider, instead of placing on a sill? Hope I was able to help. Good luck, Toni |
Thanks for your reply! :) I have added a photo of where it is at the moment, in the downstairs toilet. We have our butterfly palm in a similar distance away from a window in our living room, our yukka is in the kitchen again in a similar distance away from a window, our prayer plant is on my boyfriend's pc desk which is opposite where the butterfly palm is and our spider plant and lucky bamboo is in the picture. we're picking up a bucket from my dads later today and we'll leave that outside so that water will be for misting and for watering.. so it's more about observing the plants and soil and watering when needed more than a routine? all our plants minus the lucky bamboo (that's in a glass pot which it was bought in) are in them brown plastic pots with holes.. we then put limestone around the pots an over the plants and a layer of limestone underneath the brown pots so when watering the plants don't sit in water. i was thinking about a hanging plant but our problem is we have two VERY curious cats who love trying to attack all the plants... so a hanging one would cause problems. shame really thanks :) |
Please don't water on a calender schedule. Plants need to be watered when the potting medium dries a bit.....how dry depends upon the kind of plant. Watering frequency will determined by the plant species, size, type of potting medium, time of year, temperature of the room, relative humidity, etc. Misting does very little of benefit for your plant.....better to take it to the sink and give it a shower once in awhile to get the dust off. Since you have softened water, you can use bottled spring water or distilled water in a pinch. Be sure to flush the potting medium thoroughly when watering to reduce the build up of soluble fertilizer salts in the medium. Brown tips can be caused by watering too frequently or not frequently enough, by the water quality, fluoride, hot or cold drafts, low humidity levels, fertilizer practices, and other factors. P.S. I made my post before I saw Toni 's Yes....judge the watering need by feeling the potting mix a couple of times a week. Don't just touch the surface.....dig around a bit. With experience, you can also learn to judge the watering need by the weight of the plant. |

Afternoon, Rhizo. As for misting, I do both...mist and shower in the kitchen sink. That is when I have the energy. :) Hay..Bad kitty. :) J/K, I love cats, dogs and birds. If your Spider plant was hanging before a window, can your cat/s get to it? Just curious. How long have you had your Palm and Yucca? Yuccas are sun-lovers, so the more the merrier. Sun-loving plants will thrive in shade 'x' amount of time, but eventually grow spindly. If you wouldn't mind, I'd love to see pic of your Bamboo in the glass pot. Is it in water or soil? I have a few super-large pots without drainage holes. I learned this trick from a plant store I once worked. Why do you place limestone on top of soil? Toni |
We originally bought the limestone as a base for the plastic pots so they wouldn't sit in water.. we then put the limestone around the pots and over as we thought it looked nice lol.. it's more of a decoration. i have said to my boyfriend i think it may be a bit harder to feel the soil but it's only a thin layer we've put over the soil I've attached a picture of my lucky bamboo for you :) it's in water. i love it, it's so beautiful. i'm a bit worried its going to get too much sun but this window is at the side of the house by a fence so may not get too much light. |
Edit: Sorry, didn't see that question we bought our Yukka, Prayer plant and Bamboo yesterday but have had the Palm ages - almost a year maybe. Same for the spider plant |
Hi Hayley - I think the Spider Plant's position in the downstairs loo looks too dark. I'd put it on the windowsill instead. As already mentioned it looks pretty healthy. |

Lime alters the PH of the soil, that's probably not good, unlikely the change would be desired or appreciated. Do these pots have drain holes? I was going to say the same thing as Flora about the spider plants' position (and beauty.) |
Thanks both :) I will move the plant. I will be removing the limestone... what do you think is a good thing to put in-between the plastic pot and the outer pot to stop water rotting the roots? The plastic pots inside the larger "decorative" pots do indeed have drain holes x |
- Posted by pirate_girl Zone7 NYC (My Page) on Mon, Oct 21, 13 at 16:11
I use plain rocks, or sometimes pebbles, even styrofoam peanuts. Lately I use the inner plastic ring from rolls of scotch tape (gives it a bit of height & keeps it off the bottom of the outer pot), my office uses a lot of tape so I often have extras. |
I don't put anything between the pot and the cache pot. There shouldn't be any standing water in the cache pot so there shouldn't be a rotting issue. BTW I have extremely hard water where I live and my spider plants have never objected. I also doubt the limestone chips on the surface will have any real effect on the potting compost. Some of you have seen this before. |
So having limestone won't cause problems? We washed our spider plant and butterfly palm at the weekend in the shower and they are both thrivin, both look so much happier and healthier :) Thanks for the aadvice pirate girl :) |

When one wants to raise the PH of their soil, lime is commonly used. If one's tap water has a lot of lime in it, plants can become chlorotic. Maybe I'm extrapolating incorrectly, but that's what prompted me to have the concern. |
Floral uk your spider plant is beautiful :) me and my boyfriend and wondering if you guys could give your advice on how to pot the cache pot. At the mo we obv have limestone under it then around it and above it but do you need to have stones/pebbles etc underneath or could it sit at the bottom of the larger outta pot. Or maybe sit on top of soil? Thanks x |
I'm not quite following the last question, haylekas. 'Or maybe sit on top of the soil?' A cache pot is just a decorative container into which you place the plastic or other pot the plant is actually growing in. It looks nicer and saves the furniture from damp marks. There doesn't need to be anything in the cache pot. After watering your plants there shouldn't be standing water in the cache pot after a few minutes. If there is you've overwatered and you need to tip it out. The spider plant in the picture is still outside in the garden at the moment. It's been out on its summer holidays. |
Oh right i thought the plastic pot which the plant sits in is the cache pot. My misunderstanding. What I meant is we have the plastic pot in the decorative pot at the moment with limestone underneath the plastic pot and around it. We're trying to work out if we need put stones underneath the plastic pot so when watering if Water sits at the bottom it doesn't soak the roots |

You buy stocks from an investment firm, commonly known as a brokerage firm. The investment representative or adviser who sells you stocks is commonly known as a stockbroker or broker. You can buy stocks by paying cash, borrowing on margin or reinvesting your dividends.
Where to buy stocks
Full-service investment firms – You'll pay fees and commissions for the investment advice they give you, and for buying and selling stocks.
Discount brokerages – These tend to be online firms. You'll pay lower commissions because you don't get advice or help choosing investments.
Portfolio managers – These advisers, and the companies they work for, focus on clients with a higher overall net worth, usually $250,000. They'll manage your investment portfolio for you.
Anyone selling securities or offering investment advice must be registered with their provincial securities regulator, unless they have an exemption. Check registration through the Ontario Securities Commission or Canadian Securities Administrators. Learn more about working with an adviser.
Opening an investment account
Before you can buy stocks, you have to open an account with an investment firm. There are 2 main types:
Cash account – This is the most common type of account. It allows you to pay cash for your stocks. You will have to fill out an account opening form or an investor profile form (also known as "know your client" information). Your investor profile helps your adviser understand your goals and your tolerance for risk.
Margin account – If you want to borrow from your investment firm to invest, you have to open a margin account. You'll have to read and sign a margin agreement.
You can also buy stock for registered plans, such as RRSPs, RESPs and TFSAs. These are always cash accounts – you can't buy investments for a registered plan on margin.
Learn more about opening an investment account.
Buying and selling stock
You can give your adviser or investment firm instructions to buy or sell a stock in person, by phone or online. This is called placing your order. You'll pay a commission each time you buy or sell a stock.
4 things you need to place an order
What you want to buy or sell – You may be able to place multiple trades on 1 order. Your adviser or investment firm will confirm your specific choices before placing your order.
How much you want to buy or sell – You may need to buy a minimum amount of the stock. If you're buying or selling a large amount, you will be asked if you're willing to do a partial trade if they can't buy or sell the full amount at the price you want.
The price you want to pay – This will determine the kind of order you place. Two common types of orders are:
market order – stock is bought or sold at the latest price
limit order – you set a price limit for the highest price you're willing to pay or the lowest price you're willing to sell at. The order will expire at the end of the trading day, unless you specify a longer time limit.
Learn more about different types of orders.
How you want to pay – You can use money from your cash account, or you can borrow to buy stocks. Examples: buying on margin, short selling. This type of investing is more complex and comes with higher risks.
If you have a complaint: If you want to make a complaint about your adviser or investment firm, here's what to do.
Reviewing confirmation of your order
Once your order is filled, you'll receive a record of your order by e-mail, fax or mail. It will confirm:
what you bought or sold
the price you paid
the commission you paid.
If you sold a stock, your investment firm will put the money from the sale in your account. If you bought a stock, you won't receive a paper share certificate. The investment firm keeps these records electronically.
Dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP)
A DRIP lets you automatically reinvest dividends by buying more shares without paying a commission. DRIPs tend to be offered by larger, well-established companies with a history of paying dividends. Check a company's website to find out if they offer a DRIP. You can enrol yourself in the plan through the company's transfer agent, or your investment firm may be able to do this for you.
3 advantages of a DRIP
You can usually buy the extra shares for less than their current price.
You can avoid paying a commission.
You can reinvest small amounts, often as little as $10.
If you find an old paper stock certificate
It may still be worth something even if the stock no longer trades under the same name. For example, the company may have merged with another company or simply changed its name. Here's where you can go to find out more about the company and if it is still in business. You may have to pay a fee.

It's a great piece of software, but what a terrible name. The name is one of the reasons why it's not widely used in our county. We've tried using GimPhoto but the title branding is still Gimp. Pulp Fiction has much to answer for.
The correct name of the program is GNU Image Manipulation Program.
As to the word "gimp", as a noun it's an ornamental flat braid or round cord and as a verb it means vim or spirit. Those of use who are fans of Damon Runyon, know that he used it to mean cripple or limp. All long before Pulp Fiction.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

DVD Tuesday: The Patty Duke Show, Various Fan Favorites
- September 29th, 2009 at 8:33AM
- DVD Tuesday
- 1 Comment
Out today is Shout! Factory's The Patty Duke Show: Season One, featuring all 36 black-and-white episodes from the 1963-1964 season. Bonus features include new interviews with Patty Duke, William Schallert and others (they may be part of a featurette, I'm not quite sure). The ABC sitcom ran for three seasons and 104 episodes, plus an unaired pilot episode with a somewhat different cast. That unaired pilot isn't included in the Season One release. It was, however, edited into the season finale as a flashback.
Also being released today are a dozen "fan favorite" single-disc sets from Sony Pictures, each of which contains six or seven episodes apparently taken from one season. Shows getting the "fan favorite" treatment include All in the Family, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, Good Times, Sanford and Son, The Jeffersons, Diff'rent Strokes and Barney Miller (plus some more recent shows). Exactly why these are being released is a mystery. Does Sony think people who don't have any of the season sets of these shows are going to purchase a "fan favorite" disc and then suddenly want to buy all those season sets?
Finally, Alpha Video has three new releases today: The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet, Volume 15, The Adventures of Robin Hood, Volume 20 along with a six-DVD set collecting The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet, Volumes 6-11 (5-DVD).
1 Comment
These SONY "fan favorite" discs are really "samplers", intended for people to go out and purchase "complete box sets" of the shows, IF the viewers like what they see on each disc. Very clever marketing tool- now let's see if it works!
I've seen the original unaired pilot of "THE PATTY DUKE SHOW" (it's been floating around in "collectors' circles" for years, and has turned up on YouTube). It IS a bit different from the series that followed it; for one thing, it was filmed in Hollywood, and the setting took place in San Francisco. Sonny Burke wrote the original theme and music score for the pilot, and there was a different "Martin Lane" [Mark Miller] and "Ross" [Charles Herbert]. What happened was, after the pilot was sold to ABC, there were certain child labor laws in Tinseltown that restricted the amount of hours Patty could film the series each day. So, production shifted from L.A. to New York (where the laws were more relaxed), and Miller and Herbert's parts were recast with William Schallert and Paul O'Keefe- and the setting became "Brooklyn Heights". Sidney Sheldon (who co-created and primarily wrote the series) and William Asher ("co-creator" and producer, until he moved on to "BEWITCHED" in the fall of '64) wanted to use the pilot film in SOME form. So Sidney fashioned a "flashback" story utilizing most of the original footage [carefully eliminating all references to "San Francisco"], with new sequences added, and that became the final episode of season one, "The Cousins". Simple. A pity Shout! Factory didn't bother to use even a "worn" 16mm print of the original pilot as an "extra"…they probably aren't even AWARE it exists!

Toronto, ON -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/17/2014 -- The Dutch Glow infomercial claims that companies who sell furniture polish have been lying to the public for ages. Cleaning products have claimed that by using their polish you can restore wood surfaces but the truth was that in order to maintain the shine it would require constant use of their products. Eventually constant of use of these products resulted in a sticky layer of residue which attracts dust.
Dutch Glow Amish Wood Milk is a product that is based on a century old formula by the Amish. The Amish have always been know as experts when it comes to wood. Now this amazing wood polish is available through the special offer at As Seen on TV Canada.
It not only cleans, but restores and repels dirt and dust. Competing products tend to contain harsh chemicals, waxes or silicone sprays that develop a layer which actually attracts dust. Dutch Glow will cut down on your cleaning time since you don't have to clean as often. The ingredients are purely natural and will not compromise wood.
"I've been using this product for a few weeks so far and very impressed with the results. It's transformed an old desk that has been passed for generations making it look new. I love that I can safely use it without worrying about damaging the wood. The fact that this product has been used by the Amish and contains natural ingredients made me inclined to try it out and I'm glad I did." -Nessa Velez
It easily removes layers of accumulated wax, water rings which are typically caused by discoloration, cooking grease, smoke stains, finger prints, dust and more. It breaks down the years of wax buildup and nourishes wood surfaces so they look beautiful again.
Dutch Glow works on any wood surface including painted surfaces. Use it on hickory, teak, pine, oak, maple and more.
Order today and take advantage of the Buy 1 Get 1 FREE offer for only $10 plus $7.95 shipping and handling. Get an additional bottle of Dutch Glow for must $7.95 shipping and handling. Both bottles are 12 ounces. If you're not happy with the product you can send it back before 30 days and get a full refund (less shipping and handling charges).

7-Steps for Understanding The Meaning Of Your Dreams
By Deb Dutilh
"Last night I had the weirdest dream! What do you think it means?"
How do we begin to make any sense of our dreams that appear as metaphors and symbols with mystical, scary or fantastical landscapes coming to use in the calm of the night? Who are those people we recognize or don't and what are the messages?
"Between the dreams of night and day there is not so great a difference."
Carl Jung, Psychology of the Unconscious
Here are some practical steps for interpreting your dream.
1. Get ready to record your dream: Keep a pen and paper by your bed. Personally, I use the note app on my iPhone, and then record it with the microphone. The next day I email my transcribed dream to myself and print it out.
Having a Dream Journal is a great idea, too, especially for drawing your dream. I have a large sketch pad and colored markers to quickly sketch my dream. You don't have to be an artist to sketch your dream.
Start making your own personal Dream Symbol Glossary and become familiar with the symbols that appear in your dreams. You'll begin to recognize them and gain a deeper personal awareness of their meaning.
2. Upon Awakening: Be still for a few moments. Tune into your emotions and your body because those are important clues to the meaning. Note the emotions you are feeling.
3. Identify key words, symbols or characters in your dream.
Characters are usually facets of you, even if you do recognize them. They are messengers for you. However, some dreams are also just our recollection of what happened that day or in past events and that is all something to take a look at, too.
Who are the characters? Write that down.
Example: I'm in my kitchen and there is a cat sitting near the door. There is also a sickly looking kitten sprawled on the floor. In another corner is a big red trash bag.
4. Associations: Symbols may have a universal meaning and they can mean different things to different people, the context of the dream and many other elements. Write down the associations you make with each word on your list in your dream. There may also be some sayings or proverbs that come to mind such as, "Don't let the cat out of the bag."
5. Action, Context and Story Line: Our dreams don't follow time like we do in our waking life. The setting may or may not be familiar, welcoming or even like anything we have ever seen.

Lima's Barranco district to become tourism hub
The days when Lima was seen as a quick stop off on the way to Machu Picchu are definitely over.
It is full of intriguing museums and galleries, not to mention some of the finest restaurants in South America. There is so much to see and do that travellers can spend days patrolling the metropolis.
One trendy district that is becoming increasingly popular among visitors is Barranco, which has numerous landmarks that are well worth a look.
It is home to Puente de los Suspiros - a famous bridge that was erected in the early 19th century - as well as a number of picturesque churches and monuments.
Tourism chiefs in the capital city are keen to see more people visit this part of town during their Peru holiday and the area's best attractions will now be promoted more frequently.
El Comercio reports that the Municipality of Barranco is partnering with the National Chamber of Tourism in order to raise awareness about this stunning part of Lima.
Why The Adventure Company?
We've over 250 adventures worldwide & take 10,000 travellers away annually. We've been operating over 15 years & pioneered the concept of family adventures.
We go on most of our holidays so can offer excellent firsthand advice. Last year 90% of passengers rated our trip 'excellent' or 'good'

Home Congregations About Us Bookstore Press Room Giving

The Board of Trustees of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) met in good spirits in Providence June 24-25, 2014, expressing continued gratitude for the improved dynamic of a smaller board (now one year old), and satisfaction with the progress made on a number of ongoing projects.
The report of the Congregational Boundaries Working Group summarized the efforts to address issues related to clergy sexual abuse over the past decade and a half. The group found that while some progress has been made, the UUA has fallen short of its goal of offering the restorative justice to survivors that it has promised in the past, and that survivors continue to be marginalized by UUA process and culture. The board called on the Congregational Boundaries Working Group, the UUA Moderator, UUA Director of Ministries and Faith Development, and SafetyNet (an advocacy group for survivors) to work together to make sweeping recommendations for changes in process, culture, and education. This important report, which is available in its entirety on the UUA website, concluded with the text of the apology to survivors that the UUA Moderator then delivered during General Assembly (GA).
The board "received with gratitude" the report from policy governance consultant Eric Craymer, which outlined the metrics that the board and administration have mutually agreed to use as indicators of the UUA's progress in fulfilling its ends. The board will receive the first data connected to these metrics at its meeting in October.
Progress reports were offered on ongoing projects. One concerned the board's continued effort to improve our democracy, a conversation that had begun more narrowly around concerns about making GA more representative of our congregations. This meeting we focused on how to most actively engage the GA delegates in this conversation, using our workshop time as well as the new forum of "GA Talks." During GA it was decided to add a survey made available on the UUA website to the process for collecting responses on the big issues of how we gather as an association. The Emerging Congregations Working Group also updated the board on continued efforts to discern what changes in policy would make it easier for new congregations in formation to join the UUA. The need for different kinds of support for non-traditional congregations also remains a focus of board concern.
Sarah Stewart presented a report from the Finance Committee, which included concern over a significant income shortage in the area of major gifts.
The board expressed its gratitude for the service of outgoing trustees Natalia Averett, Clyde Grubbs, and Youth Observer Rosemary Dodd.
The board reconvened after General Assembly on June 30, 2014. New members Christina Rivera and Andy Burnette were welcomed, along with new Youth Observer Benji Janapol. Board working assignments were made, as were appointments to board appointed committees. The board congratulated Jim Key on his fine job as Moderator, both during GA, and also in this previous year.

Text of report in English by independent German Spiegel Online website
on 9 September
["Bush's Tragic Legacy: How 9/11 Triggered America's Decline" - Spiegel
Online headline]
The events of 11 September 2001 led to a wave of solidarity with the US.
But the superpower has lost that goodwill over the course of the wars it
subsequently waged. Now America is mainly seen not as the victim of
terrorism, but as a perpetrator of violence itself.
The smoke was still rising from the rubble of the World Trade Centre
when Richard Armitage, at the time the US deputy secretary of state,
spoke in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. "History begins today," he
In the coming decade, Armitage would turn out to be right - except the
politician could not have foreseen how tragic the history would be
following the epochal event.
It is the history of the decline of the USA as a superpower.
Immediately before the attacks, this country was in full bloom - like
Rome at its peak, as TV host Joe Scarborough recalls today.
The Republican President George W. Bush had inherited a fat budget
surplus from the Democrat Bill Clinton. In Kosovo, the US, which
Madeleine Albright dubbed "the indispensable nation," had just shown the
Europeans how it could resolve conflicts, even in their own backyard.
Bill Gates and Microsoft were still cool.
Then came the planes, piloted by the followers of Osama bin Laden - and
for a brief moment, the superpower seemed even more powerful than ever.
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat had himself photographed donating blood
for the victims. Even the French all suddenly wanted to be Americans.
German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder promised "unlimited solidarity."
What followed was an unlimited mistake. Bin Laden had hoped to entangle
the Americans in bloody wars. How well he would succeed in doing this,
he probably could not have imagined himself.
Bush's Tragic Legacy
America was trapped in Iraq for years, where a victory was a long time
coming and was never a real one. It is currently trapped in Afghanistan,
where victory no longer even seems possible. And it is trapped in an
embrace with his its ally Pakistan, which it does not trust and yet
cannot release.
These are costly defeats for America and the rest of the world.
According to a conservative estimate of Brown University, there have
been almost 140,000 civilian casualties in Afghanistan and Iraq. The
massive retaliation cost more than 3,000bn (2.2bn euros) - dollars that
would have been better used in America's schools or in the wallets of US
For a short time after the attacks, the country seemed united. Americans
embraced each other. Even the cold city of New York suddenly seemed
warm. But instead of cultivating public spirit, President Bush sought to
find a pretext - any pretext - to invade Afghanistan and Iraq. This is
his most tragic legacy, the fact that America can no longer even mourn
its victims properly - because Americans have long been not just
victims, but also perpetrators.
But the decade of terror did in fact traumatize Americans and turn them
into victims - even those who only experienced the attacks on
A Country at War with Itself
Today, following all the Bush-era tax cuts, the US is a deeply divided
country in social terms. The gap between rich and poor is almost as
great as it was in the days of oil barons and steel magnates in the last
century. Five per cent of Americans buy almost 40 per cent of all
consumer goods sold in the country.
The country is at war with itself. It has a Congress where there is
perpetual conflict between the right and the left - and where they don't
even want to talk to each other when the threat of a national bankruptcy
Like no other country, the US became great because of its openness. Now,
it has become distrustful, fearful and defensive - against Muslims,
against foreigners, against anyone who is different. Citizen militias
hunt down illegal immigrants, and many people can still not accept
having a black president in the White House.
"American exceptionalism" was always the US's trump card. The new
candidates for the White House still refer to it in the election
campaign, but it sounds like a hollow mantra - one of those election
promises that shouldn't be examined too closely.
Because if it was, then people might realize that many things in America
are only exceptional because they are exceptionally bad. The country has
lousy health statistics despite having one of the most expensive health
care systems in the world. Then there are the billions wasted in the
education system, not to mention the armaments madness - the US spends
almost as much on defence as the rest of the world put together.
And then there is the fixation on a financial system that rewards
gamblers, where the country's most talented young people no longer work
on developing new patents, but on financial wizardry. Meanwhile, China
and other emerging economies can happily concentrate on their own
Estranged from the Rest of the World
Where has that one-of-a-kind America gone? New York Magazine sums it up:
"Ten years later, America now looks a bit more like other countries do -
our embrace of capitalism has grown more complicated, our class mobility
less certain, our immigrants and our diversity less unique..."
Even in foreign policy, the world power is no longer seen as the world's
role model. "Leading from behind" is the maxim of the current president,
Barack Obama, who says it is out of necessity. Because stateside, a
strange alliance has formed, between those on the fringes of mainstream
politics both on the left and on the right.
They want to turn America into a tight-fisted world power. They only
want one thing: US troops should come home, and then other countries
should see how they fare. After all, the isolationists argue, these
other countries don't understand America anyway.
The US has become estranged from the rest of the world. It is partly its
own fault, but the rest of the world also shares some of the blame -
because many only see America as a perpetrator, and no longer regard it
as a victim.
This was most evident on the day that bin Laden was killed. Americans
cheered spontaneously on the streets when they heard the news. But many
people in other parts of the world did not want to celebrate with them.
They reacted with agitation to the openly flaunted joy over the
terrorist's death. The alienation of the others often sounded
patronizing and self-satisfied.
But it underlined that the victims of the attacks were no longer in the
foreground. Instead, the sins of the first victims were brought into

itself to blame. But it is still sad nonetheless.

Because who doesn't want a tetris dress in their closet?
Oh man, this dress. I can't even remember how long it's been in progress. It's the kind of project you take on, knowing it will take forever and that it has the potential to be a complete disaster. This one is officially my little black dress for my 52 weeks of sewing project. I don't care if it's not all black.
It's actually made of seven T-Shirts (I have so much extra clothing, I'm totally on the refashion bandwagon), cut into little 33 inch squares, and basically quilted together. This is where I knew the project was sort of dangerous – that much seaming on that much stretchy fabric = lots of potential for a dress that hangs super funky. And you can see it in the pictures, it does kind of hang funky. I'm still at a loss as to how to fix that. More water and more pressing is the best idea I have so far.
The bodice is loosely based on Simplicity 2176. Except I sewed it in jersey knit, rather than the recommended not-so-stretchy fabrics. And I didn't line it. And I didn't put a zipper in. I tried to be smart and cut it to the 6 rather than my usual 10 thinking that would account for the stretch of the fabric – not so! I had to take it in another 2 inches at the end to get it to fit.

Thanks! I've been toying with the interfacing idea but I'm a bit afraid of the bulk and stiffness it might cause! I probably will try it anyway, though :-)
Thanks again!

For loop
This functionality does not run in MATLAB.
for i from start to stop do body end_for for i from start to stop step stepwidth do body end_for _for(i, start, stop, stepwidth, body) for i from start downto stop do body end_for for i from start downto stop step stepwidth do body end_for _for_down(i, start, stop, stepwidth, body) for x in object do body end_for _for_in(x, object, body)
for - end_for is a repetition statement providing a loop for automatic iteration over a range of numbers or objects.
When entering an incrementing loop
for i from start to stop step stepwidth do body end_for,
the assignment i := start is made. The body is executed with this value of i (the body may reassign a new value to i). After all statements inside the body are executed, the loop returns to the beginning of the body, increments i := i + stepwidth and checks the stopping criterion i > stop. If FALSE, the body is executed again with the new value of i. If TRUE, the loop is terminated immediately without executing the body again.
The decrementing loop
for i from start downto stop step stepwidth do body end_for
implements a corresponding behavior. The only difference is that upon return to the beginning of the body, the loop variable is decremented by i := i - stepwidth before the stopping criterion i < stop is checked.
The loop for x in object do body end_for iterates x over all operands of the object. This loop is equivalent to
for i from 1 to nops(object) do x := op(object, i); body end_for
Typically, object may be a list, an expression sequence, an array or an hfarray. Note that other container objects such as finite sets or tables do not have a natural internal ordering, i.e., care must be taken, if the loop expects a certain ordering of the iterative steps.
The body of a loop may consist of any number of statements which must be separated either by a colon : or a semicolon ;. The last evaluated result inside the body is printed on the screen as the return value of the loop. Use print inside the loop to see intermediate results.
The loop variable i, respectively x, may have a value before the loop starts. After the loop is terminated, it has the value that was assigned in the last step of the loop. Typically, in an incrementing or decrementing loop with integer values of start, stop, and stepwidth, this is i = stop plus or minus stepwidth.
The arguments start, stop, stepwidth, and object are evaluated only once at the beginning of the loop and not after every iteration. E.g., if object is changed in a step of the loop, x still runs through all operands of the original object.
Loops can be exited prematurely using the break statement. Steps of a loop can be skipped using the next statement. Cf. Example 2.
The keyword end_for may be replaced by the keyword end. Cf. Example 3.
Instead of the the imperative loop statements, the equivalent calls of the functions _for, _for_down, or _for_in may be used. Cf. Example 4.
The $-operator is often a more elegant notation for for-loops.
_for, _for_down and _for_in are functions of the system kernel.
The body of the following loop consists of several statements. The value of the loop variable i is overwritten when the loop is entered:
i := 20: for i from 1 to 3 do a := i; b := i^2; print(a, b) end_for:
The loop variable now has the value that satisfied the stopping criterion i > 3:
The iteration range is not restricted to integers:
for i from 2.2 downto 1 step 0.5 do print(i) end_for:
The following loop sums up all elements in a list. The return value of the loop is the final sum. It can be assigned to a variable:
s := 0: S := for x in [c, 1, d, 2] do s := s + x end_for
Note that for sets, the internal ordering is not necessarily the same as printed on the screen:
S := {c, d, 1}
for x in S do print(x) end_for:
delete a, b, i, s, S, x:
Loops can be exited prematurely using the break statement:
for i from 1 to 3 do print(i); if i = 2 then break end_if end_for:
With the next statement, the execution of commands in a step can be skipped. The evaluation continues at the beginning of the body with the incremented value of the loop variable:
a := 0: for i from 1 to 3 do a := a + 1; if i = 2 then next end_if; print(i, a) end_for:
delete i, a:
Loops can be closed with the keyword end instead of end_for. The parser recognizes the scope of end statements automatically.
s:= 0: for i from 1 to 3 do for j from 1 to 3 do s := i + j; if i + j > 4 then break; end end end
delete s, i, j:
This example demonstrates the correspondence between the functional and the imperative form of for loops:
hold( _for(i, start, stop, stepwidth, (statement1; statement2)) )
for i from start to stop step stepwidth do statement1; statement2 end_for
The optional step clause is omitted by specifying the value NIL for the step width:
hold( _for_down(i, 10, 1, NIL, (x := i^2; x := x - 1)) )
for i from 10 downto 1 do x := i^2; x := x - 1 end_for
hold( _for_in(x, object, body) )
for x in object do body end_for
i, x |

start |
The starting value for i: a real number. This may be an integer, a rational number, or a floating point number. |

Rate Dr. Vijay Arora
Dr. Vijay Arora's Ratings
I am a new patient of Dr. Arora's. I have just returned home from the hospital. I received surgery, performed by Dr. Arora. I am shocked to read any negative comments about Dr. Arora and his staff. A wait is a small price to pay for his unsurpassed quality of care! After surgery, as I am alone, Dr. Arora offered to personally drive me home. When was the last time any doctor offered such service? I'll bet, NEVER. The hospital staff provided excellent, attentive care also. My suggestion is: if you are unhappy with Dr. Arora or his staff, go elsewhere. I guarantee, you will regret such a decision. Count your blessings!

I was very mislead. This doctors office was the most unprofessional i have ever been to!! I first walked in to the doctors office to see more then 30+ patients in the waiting room. After 3 hours of waiting to be seen, i was led into a over-crowded back office with so many staff running around, it was insanity!!! I was seated to have my vitals taken ...the girl that was putting the blood pressure cuff on and the diffrent girl writing down my information were actually argueing in front of me. I then proceeded to hear other staff using Foul laungage regarding other patients to each other ....and saying "not to deal with them they are B*tchs!!" why would ANYONE RETURN TO GO TO HERE?? and i never got to even speak to the doctor... and when asked if i could speak to him....i was told rudly "YES" and then that was it... I was told the appointment was over and showed out. This doctor May be Wonderful... but need's to seriously "re-Evaluate" his staff!

Dr. Arora is very thorough. All of his staff have their jobs and know them well. I was treated with courtesy and professionally. It is true you see a physicians assistant on your first visit but I have recently discovered that this is the usual with specialists today. However, I did meet the doctor and am confident that he is on top of my case. I have recently been to a lot of specialists and can tell you this one is top notch! Waiting in an OB/GYN office on your appointment is the usual wherever or whoever you go to. Remember...they do deliver babies and babies are not on a schedule. I suggest you make a morning appointment or bring a book and decide to spend some time unless you are there for a procedure that does not require the doctors attention (sonogram, etc.) then your appointment is not only met but on my experience if your there early, it is met when you arrive.

Dr. Arora runs a sham operation. Although assured, by his staff, I would be seen by this doctor I was seen ONLY by a "Physician's Assistant". As this was my first visit for a complete gynecological examination his lack of attention is negligant. I was told, again by his staff, that my wait time would never be more than 15 to 20 minutes. However, the patients in his waiting room, and former patients assured me that his typical wait time is 3 to 4 hours.

Dr Arora overbooks. Except at least 10 other ladies with same appt. time as you. I just left there. Appt. was 9am. Doctor arrived to office at 10am. I saw him (briefly) at 11am. This is not an isolated incident. On my last visit, I was there almost 3 hours. It happens every time. He's very nice, but doesn't have time for you, cuz so many others are waiting. I will be looking for a new gynecologist. There has to be some decent gynos out there that aren't so money hungry that they book as many people as they possibly can. I think Dr Arora may just be trying to set a record for the most patients seen in one day.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][2079971].votes_count ]]
Let's just say, I should've changed doctors a LONG TIME AGO! Never returns call. I had a HORRIBLE experience with him during my delivery. He is too busy and squeezes you into his schedule. He left me cut open for an hour after my delivery cause he went next door to do a surgery! Everyone was walking into the room and seeing my goods. I felt very degrated! Its no wonder my experience with him was bad! I would NOT recommend this doctor to anyone!!
