Inside Mac OS X 10.7 Lion: Crash or continue, push notifications
Developers have noted two interesting features in progress within the Mac OS X Lion release, one being the ability to continue an application poised to crash, and a second being the foundation of push notifications in Mac OS X.Crash or continue
When Lion encounters an app that raises an exception and fails to properly handle it (essentially throwing an object in the air and filing to catch it), it now offers the user the choice of either allowing the app to crash or a new option of continuing to allow the app to run.
While this results in the app running in an inconsistent state, it does allow the user at least an attempt at saving data in any open files before quitting the app are restarting it fresh.
The error dialog below indicates how an app that suffers a internal error presents the option to the user, providing a look at what caused the problem.
Push notifications
Another feature discovered in the bowels of Lion is the foundation of push notifications, something Apple originally created for iOS. While apparently not yet fully functional, a developer reports that "the whole range of callbacks for iOS push notifications have been added to NSApplicationDelegate."
- (void)application:(NSApplication *)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken NS_AVAILABLE_MAC(10_7);
- (void)application:(NSApplication *)application didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError *)error NS_AVAILABLE_MAC(10_7);
- (void)application:(NSApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo NS_AVAILABLE_MAC(10_7);
Apple's push notification system allows developers to create services that update the user with notices of new information. The feature is most useful in mobile devices, where constantly polling the network for new emails, news, or other content is a waste of battery life. However, it appears that a consistent push notifications mechanism across both Mac OS X and iOS could be useful in delivering software that works the same on both systems.
Push notifications work by holding an IP connection open, waiting for a message. Essentially, it's like waiting for the phone to ring rather than running to the mailbox every few minutes to see if you've received a reply. Apple's Push Notification Server currently relays messages to iOS users, which can be badge number increments, short messages, or sounds.
Apple has shared a great deal of technology between iOS and Mac OS X, and continues to do so everywhere it makes sense. The result has been not only shared effort on Apple's side, but also a familiar and usually consistent environment for developers who want to target both.

Meth ingredients
By AP
Tulsa, OK – TULSA, Okla. (AP) Drug stores in the Tulsa area sell more pseudoephedrine (SOO'-doh-uh-feh'-drihn) than anywhere else in Oklahoma. More than 1,000 pounds of the cold medicine was sold in Tulsa proper last year. That makes the city the largest source in the state for the key ingredient in methamphetamine. There is a move underway to try and make products with pseudeephedrine available by prescription only.

DIY Christmas Wrapping Paper: Decorating Paper
Once you have the basic paper for wrapping your Christmas gifts, you can decorate the paper in a variety of ways for a personalized touch.
- Sponge Painting- A great project for kids, use a sponge or shower pouf to paint the paper with paint. You can use one color or do multiple coats in different colors, such as red and green, for a different look. Cut a regular kitchen sponge into a shape for sponge stamping.
- Colored Pencils/Paint and Stencils- Colored pencils are definitely more labor intensive than a quick coat of paint over a stencil, but you can always do one special wrapping for your special someone.
- Stamps- Decorate your paper with rubber stamps of holiday shapes, such as bells, reindeer or Christmas trees. If you don't have any stamps, check out this step-by-step tutorial on how to make your own rubber stamps. For something even easier, cut a raw potato in half and draw a shape or use a cookie cutter as a guide. Cut out around the shape for a raised stamp.
- Rolling Pin- Craft Chi demonstrates how to use a rolling pin and cork contact paper or adhesive foam to create a beautiful repeating design on paper. I'm envisioning a repeating design with snowflakes.
- Wood-Grain- Martha Stewart shares a project for giving plain paper the elegant appearance of wood grain with a wood-graining tool much like a comb. This technique is called "faux bois."
- Appliqué- Cut shapes out of felt, fabric or even better, old Christmas cards, and affix to the paper. For an extra-special touch, you can sew the appliqué shapes onto the paper. If you are without a sewing machine, simply punch evenly-spaced holes around the shape with a pin, and sew with embroidering floss. You might need to affix a sturdier background of cardstock or felt before sewing on a smaller shape to keep the paper from ripping.

The Virginia Mathematics Standards of Learning for Algebra II have been correlated with the sections in each chapter of this guide. The SOLs are also listed by section in the Virginia Lesson Planning Guide. The NCTM Standards listed throughout the materials are not up to date. A copy of the new NCTM Standards are in each school. 4. An updated copy of Mathematics Standards of Learning Teacher Resource Guide is located at the end of this guide. Note that the SOLs in the Resource Guide are grouped by topic. Under each topic the SOL is stated, followed by lists of Essential Understandings and Essential Knowledge and Skills. 5. Use of mixed reviews and spiraling on assessments is strongly recommended 6. A wide range of evaluation and assessment tools are provided. The student text furnishes mixed reviews, self tests, chapter highlights, study guides and assessments. At the end of the student text, a student handbook section provides additional assessments. The teacher wraparound edition has "Check for understanding" comments and replicas of 5-minute checks and other supplementary materials. The teacher's resource package contains Assessment and Evaluation Masters and 5-minute check Transparencies. Additionally, each school is provided with Test/Review Software. 7. Since there is a such a wealth of supplementary materials for this text, each teacher is advised to be selective in their planning and use. 8. Test/Review Software Time is needed to familiarize yourself with the capabilities of this software The disk is not needed to run the program Difficulties occur if you use more than one computer to edit, add, or change a single file (test, worksheet). To avoid this problem, use one computer to complete and print a single document. 9. A list of Internet Connections is on page T15 of the Teacher's Wraparound Edition. 10.

Students enrolled in Algebra II are assumed to have mastered those concepts outlined in the Algebra I standards. A thorough treatment of advanced algebraic concepts is provided through the study of functions, polynomials, rational expressions, complex numbers, matrices, and sequences and series. Emphasis should be placed on practical applications and modeling throughout the course of study. Oral and written communication concerning the language of algebra, logic of procedures, and interpretation of results also should permeate the course. These standards include a transformational approach to graphing functions. Transformational graphing uses translation, reflection, dilation, and rotation to generate a "family of graphs" from a given graph and builds a strong connection between algebraic and graphic representations of functions. Students will vary the coefficients and constants of an equation, observe the changes in the graph of the equation, and make generalizations that can be applied to many graphs. Graphing utilities (graphing calculators or computer graphing simulators) and spreadsheets will be used by students and teachers. Graphing utilities enhance the understanding of realistic applications through mathematical modeling and aid in the investigation and study of functions and their inverses. They also provide an effective tool for solving/verifying equations and inequalities. Any other available technology that will enhance student learning should be used. AII.1 The student will identify field properties, axioms of equality and inequality, and properties of order that are valid for the set of real numbers and its subsets, complex numbers, and matrices. AII.2 The student will add, subtract, multiply, divide, and simplify rational expressions, including complex fractions. AII.3 The student will add, subtract, multiply, divide, and simplify radical expressions containing positive rational numbers and variables and expressions containing rational exponents; and write radical expressions as expressions containing rational exponents, and vice versa. AII.4 The student will solve absolute value equations and inequalities graphically and algebraically. Graphing calculators will be used both as a primary method of solution and to verify algebraic solutions. AII.5 The student will identify and factor completely polynomials representing the difference of squares, perfect square trinomials, the sum and difference of cubes, and general trinomials. AII.6 The student will select, justify, and apply a technique to solve a quadratic equation over the set of complex numbers. Graphing calculators will be used for solving and confirming algebraic solutions. AII.7 The student will solve equations containing rational expressions and equations containing radical expressions algebraically and graphically. Graphing calculators will be used for solving and confirming algebraic solutions. AII.8 The student will recognize multiple representations of functions (linear, quadratic, absolute value, step, and exponential functions) and convert between a graph, a table, and symbolic form. A transformational approach to graphing will be employed through the use of graphing calculators. AII.9 The student will find the domain, range, zeros and inverse of a function, the value of a function for a given element in its domain, and the composition of multiple functions. Functions will include those that have domains and ranges that are limited and/or discontinuous. The graphing calculator will be used as a tool to assist in investigation of functions, including exponential and logarithmic. AII.10 The student will investigate and describe the relationships between the solution of an equation, zero of a function, x-intercept of a graph, and factors of a polynomial expression through the use of graphs. AII.11 The student will use matrix multiplication to solve practical problems. Graphing calculators or computer programs with matrix capabilities will be used to find the product. AII.12 The student will represent problem situations with a system of linear equations and solve the system using the inverse matrix method. Graphing calculators or computer programs with matrix capability will be used to perform computations. AII.13 The student will solve systems of linear inequalities and linear programming problems and describe the results both orally and in writing. A graphing calculator will be used to facilitate solutions to linear programming problems. AII.14 The student will solve nonlinear systems of equations, including linear-quadratic and quadratic- quadratic, algebraically and graphically. The graphing calculator will be used as a tool to visualize graphs and predict the number of solutions. AII.15 The student will recognize the general shape of polynomial functions, locate the zeros, sketch the graphs, and verify graphical solutions algebraically. The graphing calculator will be used as a tool to investigate the shape and behavior of polynomial functions. AII.16 The student will investigate and apply the properties of arithmetic and geometric sequences and series to solve problems, including writing the first n terms, finding the nth term, and evaluating summation formulas. Notation will include sigma and 'a sub n'. AII.17 The student will perform operations on complex numbers and express the results in simplest form. Simplifying results will involve using patterns of the powers of i. AII.18 The student will identify conic sections (circle, ellipse, parabola, and hyperbola) from his/her equations. Given the equations in (h, k) form, students will sketch graphs of conic sections, using transformations. AII.19 The student will collect and analyze data to make predictions, write equations, and solve practical problems. Graphing calculators will be used to investigate scatterplots to determine the equation for a curve of best fit. AII.20 The student will identify, create, and solve practical problems involving a combination of direct and inverse variations.

'A picture of my child once a week, every week for a year'
I absolutely love this idea! I've seen this done on a few blogs, and I fell in love with watching their babes grow, and how much they change week by week. So I want to do this for Ren, but mostly for me. Plus it will keep me on top of my bloggin' game. (HA. Hopefully..) But instead of just doing a photo, I'm going to throw in a video or two, because the videos I have of Ren freaking kill me.
{one / fifty-two}
He was being a complete, and utter crank bot this day. Throwing fits left and right, and took maybe a full half an hour nap total. So I decided to leave a half an hour early when going to get Keagan from work, and stop in at Ikea because he had to get out of the house or I was gonna die. (Because its right behind his store. Best layout plan ever. #winning) Whenever he is grumpy in the car I blast the music, and sing to him. There are only a few artist that make him completely at peace, and make him jam out.
{Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake, Beastie Boys, Jason Mraz, Imagine Dragons, Ed Sheeran, Lorde}
There are a bunch of single hits that he is obsessed with, but it's something with their voices that just kicks him into a good mood. So, on this particular drive I belted out some T-Swizzle, and when I parked and turned around to see his cute smile, and his little, big hands bobbin' to the beat, I instead found this. Him snuggling with "Deer", passed the freak out. I literally sat there for 15 minutes just staring at him.
He makes it worth it. Even with his screeching.

Google Buys Invite Media, Courting Conflict of Interest Chatter
Google Buys Invite Media, Courting Conflict of Interest Chatter
Clint Boulton
Posted 2010-06-03
Google June 3 purchased startup Invite Media, sparking concerns from ad experts, who believe Google is gobbling up too much of the online display ad supply chain. Invite Media's platform lets advertisers buy display ad space from sellers across multiple ad exchanges, such as Google's DoubleClick Ad Exchange, Microsoft's AdECN and Yahoo's Right Media, through real-time bidding. This buy strikes Internet ad experts as tricky. Some believe companies should not own ad exchanges and the so-called demand-side platforms they are intended to augment for advertisers.
Google purchased startup Invite Media June 3, sparking concerns from ad experts, who believe Google is gobbling up too much of the online display ad supply chain. AllThingsDigtal broke the news June 2 and
the deal amount to be $70 million.
Invite Media's platform lets advertisers buy display ad space from sellers across multiple ad exchanges, such as Google's
DoubleClick Ad Exchange
, Microsoft's AdECN and Yahoo's Right Media, through real-time bidding.
Real-time bidding allows advertisers and agencies to craft their bids on an impression-by-impression basis when bidding on Websites whose ad space is available through an ad exchange. Neal Mohan, vice president of product management for Google,
the company will cultivate Invite Media's platform separately, but will adapt it to make it work the company's DoubleClick for Advertisers (DFA) ad-serving product. Invite Media's technology will help DFA clients buy ad space across multiple ad exchanges, he added.
This move strikes Internet ad experts as tricky. Some believe companies should not own ad exchanges and the so-called demand-side platforms they are intended to augment for advertisers. Gartner analyst Andrew Frank wrote June 3
in his blog
that it makes sense for Google to buy a DSP because Google didn't own that piece of the Web display ad puzzle. However, he said "it does rekindle the issue of whether an entity such as Google, which happens to be the largest seller of online advertising, can continue to provide both media and the platforms for trading media in a neutral way." Google's bid for Invite may warrant more regulatory scrutiny. Google just
its acquisition of mobile ad network AdMob, which the Federal Trade Commission nearly
blocked for anti-competitive concerns
. Acquiring Invite Media is likely to invite another investigation by regulators who aren't clear on how the market works, but who need to ensure Google isn't abusing its market power, Frank noted. "As Google seeks advantage by integrating Invite with DFA and AdX in subtle and attractive ways, pressure for neutral solutions will build, and Google's competitors are likely to start to find sympathetic ears among antitrust regulators for whom the analogy of a bulge-bracket brokerage house owning a major stock exchange and the trading systems it supports won't seem like too much of a stretch." Google realizes this, which is why Mohan noted that the Invite Media platform will continue to be available to any agency or advertiser. Mohan added: "Just as Invite Media works across multiple exchanges, this announcement changes nothing about the operation of the Ad Exchange-it will continue to provide exactly the same open and neutral access to ad space for multiple buyers, partner support and API availability as it has always done." That may be of little consolation to Google's ad rivals at Yahoo, Microsoft and OpenX, who could pressure the FTC to stalk Google's door again.

The Washington Youth Summit on the Environment
George Mason University along with distinguished partners the National Geographic Society and the National Zoo is proud to host the Washington Youth Summit on the Environment (WYSE). This summer the WYSE welcomes 250 High School National Youth Delegates from all over the country. National Youth Delegates join the Mason community, which includes students and faculty from all over the world. Mason is both the largest public university in Virginia and one of the most culturally diverse universities in the nation.
WYSE Partners
George Mason University is setting the gold standard for the modern, public university. Its dynamic culture and innovative academic programs prepare Mason's hard-working students for 21st century careers. Its commitment to teaching excellence combines with cutting-edge research that enriches the academic experience and is literally changing the world. Mason is affordable, yet offers high value. Ideally located in the National Capital region, students enjoy terrific cultural experiences and access to the most sought-after internships and employers in the country.
Mason attracts proven and innovative leaders in conservation, climate change, and the environment. Faculty members have developed the WYSE curriculum to suit the needs and potential of the nation's most talented future leaders in the field. Curriculum includes hands-on learning with industry leaders, not only from Mason, but from international conservation experts and Washington insiders. High School National Youth Delegates will experience an integrated and forward-thinking approach to the environment, while acquiring valuable "in-the-trenches" knowledge.
"The best part of the day was the concurrent session...our speaker was amazing. The classroom atmosphere was a really nice change from all the speeches and we should have more. Mr. Wingfield was absolutely the best speaker and person I have met... The way he brought emotions and passion into our work and his work was a nice change of pace and gave us some time to think and just relax."
"It was nice to be in a small group with a really interesting and engaging speaker. One of the big pluses was that all of us got to ask questions, and even engage in brief dialogues with the speaker. I found my particular seminar to be fascinating, so much so that it has given me a whole new direction to look into for the future. One of the best things about this conference has been seeing what opportunities are out there for people with an interest in the environment! It is great to see people (young and old) active and inspired to really solve problems."

Tal'tsy Transportation
To get to Tal'tsy, take a bus from the Irkutsk bus station in the direction of Listvyanka.
Tal'tsy is located in the village at the bank of the Angara 20 kilometers north of Baikal and 47 kilometers south of Irkutsk. It is about 45 minutes away from Irkutsk and 20 minutes from Listvyanka. To move on from Tal'tsy either to Listvyanka or Irkutsk is to hail a bus at one of the bus stops outside the museum grounds on the main road.
My colleagues from Irkutsk brought me there by minibus. The road was along the famous Irkutsk (Baikal) trakt.
You can watch my 3 min 24 sec Video Irkutsk trakt to Baikal out of my Youtube channel or here on VT.Related to:- Road Trip
Tal'tsy Warnings and Dangers
As you can find out of this board, it is prohibited:
plant fires,
cooking kebabs,
listening to the loud music,
walk with the dogs,
writing inscriptions,
going out on the ice.
Especially it's very dangerous to plant fires and smoking because of all the buildings are made out of wood. Do you remember that two forts were burnt in fire XVIIth century?
As for me – I was there on business without my dogs, but I don't like when walk with dogs is prohibited.more

When I was eight years old, I went to a department store with my father where he was buying a suit. The man waiting on us found out that my dad was a minister. He said in a very demeaning, condescending way, "Well, you know. If you can't afford it, we can give you a minister's discount."
Well, my father had been raised in extreme poverty. He came out of the Great Depression. They didn't have enough food to eat. Daddy had to put cardboard in his shoes as a little boy because they had holes in them. When this man said sarcastically, "We can give you this discount," it rubbed my father the wrong way. I could see it in his eyes. Daddy thought to himself, "I am not a beggar. I don't need a handout. I'm a child of the Most High God!" It wasn't out of arrogance but out of a confidence of who he was and Who he represented. He looked that salesman in the eyes and said, "No, sir. I don't need a minister's discount. Do you know who my Father is?" That man stepped back like Daddy came from some kind of influential, well-to-do family. He didn't know Daddy wasn't talking about his earthly father; he was talking about his heavenly Father. He was saying in effect, "This is a new day. I've stepped out of poverty and lack. The God I serve doesn't need a discount. He is well able to take care of me. He is El Shaddai; the God who is more than enough!"
Today, know that God doesn't want you to be dependent on a handout, a discount or leftover bread. He doesn't want you to live like that is your only option. That's not who you are. Have a bigger vision. God has abundance in front of you. He is the God of more than enough! You may not be there just yet, but I'm asking you not to settle where you are.
It says in Deuteronomy that God gives us the power to get wealth. There are seeds in you right now that can bring abundance: gifts, talents, skills, ideas, creativity, favor. God didn't leave anybody out. You've got to get up every morning and remind yourself, "I am a no lack person." See yourself strong, healthy and accomplishing your dreams. Keep the right image in front of you. You are blessed. You are prosperous. You are well able. And yes, you may need some kind of assistance right now. But if you'll have this attitude and keep pressing forward, before long, instead of taking a handout, you'll be giving a handout. Instead of borrowing, you'll be the lender! Don't settle where you are; don't settle for lack. Press forward past a lack mentality and switch over to a blessing mentality!
"For the LORD your God will bless you as he has promised, and you will lend to many nations but will borrow from none..." (Deuteronomy 15:6, NIV)
"A lot of people grow up thinking God's mad at you and leave church feeling down, like they'll never measure up, and that's not our message,"
