- Description:
Armadillo is a template C++ linear algebra library (matrix maths) aiming towards a good balance between speed and ease of use. Integer, floating point and complex numbers are supported, as well as a subset of trigonometric and statistics functions. Various matrix decompositions are provided via an optional integration with LAPACK, or one of its high performance drop-in replacements (e.g. AMD's ACML or Intel's MKL).
A delayed evaluation approach is employed (during compile time) to combine several operations into one and reduce (or eliminate) the need for temporaries. This is accomplished through recursive templates and template meta-programming.
This library is useful if C++ has been decided as the language of choice (due to speed and/or integration capabilities), rather than another language like Matlab or Octave. It is distributed under a license that is useful in both open-source and commercial contexts.

Best and worst movies of 2012
Best movies of the year
"Argo".. oh-Ben Affleck better win best director! He had me on the edge of my seat when I knew the ending.
"Django Unchained"..Quentin Tarantino manages to tackle one of the most shameful part of American history and still make it funny & shocking with a brilliant accompanying soundtrack.
"Silver Linings Playbook"..love for the mentally unhinged amid football obsession . De Niro is finally De Niro again!!
"The Sessions".. what could have been a maudlin movie about a man living in an iron lung is life-affirming , funny with the most authentic sex scenes of the year thanks to Helen Hunt
"Amour"- this subtitled end-of-life gem says it all in its title: amour is love.
"The Perks Of Being A Wallflower"..the best teen dramedy since "Juno" . Never mind Emma Watson. Ezra Miller steals this movie. Make note of his name.
"Flight"..Denzel Washington's best since his Oscar winner "Training Day".
"Zero Dark Thirty".. who knew it was a female Cia agent behind the search and killing of Osama Bin Laden?? At least according to both movies made this year about our recent history.
"End Of Watch".. an amazingly realistic look at an inner-city cop's life – the cops are the good guys this time.
"Life of Pi"..the most visually amazing film this year- tres' spiritual.
The Worst movies of the year
"Cloud Atlas"..close to 3 hours of WTF.
"The Master".. great acting by Phillip Seymour Hoffmand and Joaquin Phoenix with stunning visuals but what happened to the plot???
"The Grey".. you may need to bring a suicide prevention hotline number with you. Man vs. nature. Guess who wins?? Liam Neeson must have been fishing for an Oscar.
"John Carter" & "Battleship".. "Friday Night Lights" star Taylor Kitsch stars in both. He needs a new agent.
"Total Recall"..a total waste of a re-make.
"Red Dawn"..another re-make that's doa.
"Prometheus"…one of the most anticipated movies of the year- the "Alien" sequel is just silly – you wonder how these scientists could be so dumb.
"Journey 2: The Mysterious
"Silent Hill: Revelations"..they throw in every villain who appeared in every horror movie and it still has not a single scare in it.

8 Best Blushes -- and the 6 WorstWant a perfectly-flushed complexion? You need a great blush. Here are the ones that'll help you glow -- and the ones that are so bad they'll turn your cheeks red with frustration |
See the 14 best and worst blushes now.
Sweeping blush across your cheeks sounds easy enough, right? Well, it becomes a bit more complicated when the blush you're working with is a big, fat failure. When it comes to blush, the finished look will only be as beautiful as the product you put on your face. No amount of technique can save your makeup from a too chalky, oily, or Ronald McDonald-worthy color.
To help you find the most beautiful blushes on the market -- and steer clear of the absolute worst -- we read thousands of blush reviews and tallied up the scores. Keep reading so you know what products work, and which ones to avoid.
And for a quick brush up (pun intended!) on your technique, makeup artist Glenn Marziali says to always remember this two-finger rule when trying to achieve a natural-looking flush: Place your index and middle fingers vertically on your face away from the nose to find the spot directly under your pupils. Apply blush on the apple of the cheek from that spot outwards, and stroke the blush along the cheekbones.

I'm surprised to see this MAC version listed as a "worst;" the Physician's Formula is wonderful. Thanks for being truthful here!

Nars blush is great. It comes on sheer and can be bulit up to the color you want. It is worth the money.

There are only a few rules to remember when dealing with the Weeping Angels, the first one is 'keep calm and don't blink'. The other is that 'an image of an Angel is itself an Angel', like that image of an Angel at the top of the poster there. Oh. Keep looking at it! Don't blink!

Kazmir looks to build on excellent run vs. KC
Royals send Shields to the hill to clinch fourth straight series
After managing just four runs against buzzsaws Sonny Gray and Jon Lester, the Royals draw the Athletics' leader in ERA, Scott Kazmir, on Sunday.
Kazmir (2.37 ERA) has posted 15 quality starts in 21 tries, and he has given up more than three runs only twice. One of those outings was against the Mets on June 24, when he allowed seven runs in three innings. This start stands out as the anomaly in his string of recent brilliance. Kazmir has allowed two runs or fewer in 10 of his last 11 starts dating back to May 23.
Kazmir is coming off a win in his last outing on Sunday against the Rangers. He allowed two runs in five innings and improved to 12-3 on the season. He owns a 1.44 ERA in his last five starts.
Kazmir has not faced the Royals yet this season, but he is 4-5 with a 5.15 ERA against Kansas City in 15 career starts.
James Shields will aim for the Royals' ninth win in 12 games and fourth series victory in a row on Sunday.
Shields dropped his last decision in the Royals' 2-1 loss to the Twins on Tuesday. He only allowed two runs (one earned) in six innings, but he gave up six hits and four walks, elevating his pitch count to a season-high 124 pitches, just two shy of his career high.
"We got outpitched and outplayed. That's about all I've got to say about it," Shields said after the game. "I didn't have my best stuff today. I tried to keep the team in the game as long as I could and it just wasn't enough."
After a rough June, Shields has bounced back in July, posting a 2.63 ERA with 38 strikeouts over 37 2/3 innings.
Athletics: Offense comes to life
Oakland's bats woke up Saturday after 20 scoreless innings, dating back to Thursday.
The Athletics touched Jason Vargas for seven runs in the fifth inning after he set down the first 12 batters he faced.
Oakland scored just one run on Wednesday in an 8-1 loss to the Astros, then was shut out by the Royals on Friday.
Saturday's win pushed their run differential to 166. That figure now places the 2014 squad in third place in team history with 53 games remaining.
Royals: Chen to the bullpen
Bruce Chen's latest stint in the rotation lasted three starts.
Chen was thrust back into the rotation on July 13 after Vargas hit the disabled list, but he returned to a relief role upon Vargas' return. Chen threw the final two scoreless innings of Kansas City's loss on Saturday. The left-hander allowed one hit and fanned one batter.
Chen started four games in April before an injury sent him to the disabled list.
He adds much-needed relief to a taxed bullpen. Chen's most valuable trait will be his ability to work as a long reliever or spot starter in case of injury.
Worth noting
• With Alex Gordon's double on Saturday, he is two hits away from his 1,000th career hit.
• Oakland's Jesse Chavez made his first appearance out of the bullpen this season on Saturday, throwing one scoreless inning. Chavez started 21 games and posted a 3.44 ERA in '14, but the acquisitions of Lester, Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel moved him to the bullpen.

Reviews for Southern Fried Chicken Strips
Sort By :
"My family of picky eaters rated this to be the "bomb" of chicken strips. Which in my house is a huge compliment."
"simple and easy love it."
"My son and I love these! Simple to make and didn't make a mess of my whole kitchen! Not having garlic powder, I added 2 sliced garlic cloves to the egg mix. Delicious!"
"This recipe is good. I did use what I had on hand so instead of buttermilk I used 1/4 cup of half-and-half and 1/4 cup whole milk and substituted season salt for regular salt and used a little less. Then, I added about a 1/4 teaspoon of poultry seasoning with a dash of chicken boullion. The chicken turned out great; not too salty either. I also used peanut oil which gets hotter quicker, I believe cooks better at higher temperature. Excellent base recipe for someone who wants to add/subtract ingredients!! Definitely try and make it your own!!"
"So simple to make and have great flavor. Also, I like the fact that they didn't soak up a lot of the oil. That is DEFINITELY a plus! :)"

As Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the author of 'The Little Prince' once said, "He who would travel happily must travel light." As the smallest in our carry-on safari luggage series, the PR4 is perfect for overnight airline travel, as a gym bag, or a passenger seat companion for overland travel.
PLACES FOR YOU BELONGINGS. Featuring plenty of exterior pockets for organizing your gear and a cavernous interior compartment, the PR4 Safari Beanos Duffel holds more than you thought possible. Handy spacious end pockets allow easy access to your 'must have' gear, especially useful when stuffing the PR4 under the seat, be it plane, train, or bus. Both pockets zip halfway down their sides for easy access to buried belongings.
A zippered front flat pocket keeps your passport handy. The pass-through panel on the back side is designed for use as a docking sleeve with wheeled luggage. Unzip top and bottom zippers and slip it over the wheeled bag's telescoping carry handle (or leave the bottom zipper closed and it doubles as a second flat exterior pocket).
The spacious center compartment has a unique open flap with twin zippers that allow you to peel away the flap for unhindered access to your belongings. Twin steel turn locks keep the flap secure.
NO SLIP CARRY. Like most of our duffel bags, the PR4 includes the famous Claw nonslip padded shoulder strap. Attached using heavy-duty 360 degree "claw-like" swivels, this hardware will endure any abuse you can throw at it. Quickly detaches for storage inside in case you use your PR4 carry-on for checked luggage.
BUILT LIKE A TANK. Our customers like to define our gear as "built like a tank". While obviously you're not going to be toting around bags that weigh 50 tons and have three inches of armor plate, still the comparison is valid. For a carry-on duffel bag, they are built tough. Starting with one of the most durable soft textile materials available, 1000 weight Cordura nylon, we use super strong UV resistant thread that is double stitched into every seam.
BOUND AND BAGGED. Places where two separate pieces of fabric are stitched together are then bound, that is, we take a long piece of one inch wide nylon webbing and fold it over the edges of the two pieces and stitch them together, this creates a strong seam, or binding, that prevents the pieces from unraveling on the inside of the bag, or gives it a clean finished look if on the outside of the bag. Inside edges typically receive a thinner nylon webbing, whereas outside corner edges that are exposed to wear will have a thicker nylon binding. All of our binding material is vertically woven to prevent fraying, peeling or splitting that you may commonly see in competitors bags that brag of "binding" their edges.
RIGGER CHECK. Each stress point, such as where the handles attach to the PR4, is double box stitched - which is where we get the "double xx" in our name, Red Oxx; a stitching practice we adapted from our time as parachute riggers.
MY, WHAT BIG ZIPPERS YOU HAVE! The reason Red Oxx uses the largest zipper we can afford, the #10 YKK VISLON® zipper, is that they are easily repairable, even in the field; they will hold their place, that is, they "lock"; they are difficult to penetrate, thereby increasing the security of your belongings; they function smoothly in inclement weather and they can be yanked from a variety of angles without losing teeth or becoming separated.
PUTTING THE HARD IN HARDWARE. Red Oxx has occasionally been accused of "overdoing" our hardware. But once you've had a cheap piece of plastic hardware break in the middle of a busy intersection, airport or other inconvenient locale dumping your precious belongings all over the ground, having a heavy-duty nickel-plated or stainless steel D ring or attachment swivel that weighs just a little more, or might make a little noise, is a travel companion's confidence builder and peace of mind maker. After all, you want to enjoy your journey as best you can. Why worry about having your bag break down?
USE IT AS A PERSONAL ITEM. Ladies, if you want to use this on your next flight, stick your purse inside this spacious bag's center compartment and use it as your "personal item" in conjunction with your primary carry-on, such as an Air Boss or Sky Train.
For the men out there, fill it to the brim, and travel in the same carry-on manner.
Designed for the minimalist traveler out there, the Red Oxx Safari Beanos PR4 is still packed to the gills with overbuilt features that will serve you for a lifetime of travel.
PLACE YOUR ORDER TODAY. Due to high demand, we encourage you to place your order now to get your bag on our production schedule. It will then be shipped in under 14 days. Like retirement, it's worth the wait.

"Beanos" Trivia: Named after our friend "Beano" who needed a gear bag that could carry his clothes and still be carry-on legal. Named after his grandfather, a bean farmer in the midwest, whom he looked like as a kid. Formerly the Super Beano, the bag is now available in several sizes and is in it's 4th stage of design revision.
Safari Beanos PR4 is a Red Oxx "Staff Pick" favorite.

To the depths of the Amazon basin to the peaks of the Himilayas, Red Oxx Manufacturing is infallible.

Not sure why you would want this other than as a gag gift for that accountant in the family. IMO something that tries to do too many things can't possibly do any of them very well... So when are they going to start selling the mouse/calculator/web camera?

I was going to make a joke about just typing out 'booboies' on a TI-83 (or 84), so I looked them up to make sure I was thinking of the right thing and holy hell they're still around a 100 bucks.

That's what went through my mind, 80 bucks for a novelty? Really?
Whoops, was on lunch break and I didn't get to comment about this one. I bought this mouse back in November.. and didn't really like it. The mouse was a little "too flat" for me like the Apple Magic Mouse (the Canon mouse is larger, but still feels like it) and not so ergonomic. Punching in numbers wasn't great for me either. Most of the time I would have to just put the mouse on my left hand, then type on the numberpad with my right hand. You get the idea, right? All in all, it was really a gimmick than something for practical use. I usually just put this mouse out when I have somebody over or when I take pictures of my desk.. just to look "sophisticatedly" cool. Oh, forgot to mention how I also didn't like having to click every time to wake the mouse up. I thought I would get over that... but I really found it annoying anyways. Just my honest two cents!

About the Academy
The AACD Mission
The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry® (AACD) is dedicated to advancing excellence in the art and science of comprehensive cosmetic dentistry and encouraging the highest standards of ethical conduct and responsible patient care. The AACD fulfills its mission by: offering superior educational opportunities; promoting and supporting a respected Accreditation credential; serving as a user-friendly and inviting forum for the creative exchange of knowledge and ideas; and providing accurate and useful information to the public and the profession.
Dedicated to Cosmetic Dentistry
In December of 1984, 60 dentists answered the call of AACD founder, Dr. Jack Kammer and co-founder Dr. Jeff Morley. This visionary group met in Las Vegas to create an organization devoted to the art and science of cosmetic dentistry. From this small gathering of dedicated individuals, the AACD has matured into the world's largest organization for cosmetic dental professionals. Over the years, hundreds of professionals have selflessly served the Academy as officers, board members, and so on.
The AACD continues to grow and now includes more than 6,000 dental professionals, laboratory technicians, educators, and researchers from 70 countries worldwide. This global perspective allows AACD members to gather information from the international field of cosmetic dentistry.
With the formation of the Accreditation and Fellowship Programs, the AACD began offering the most stringent and respected postgraduate certification in cosmetic dentistry to both dentists and laboratory technicians. Accreditation, Journal of Cosmetic Dentistry, and AACD's cutting-edge Annual Scientific Session have solidified the Academy's position as the leading cosmetic dental organization in the world. AACD members are recognized as professionals dedicated to constant improvement of their skills and knowledge, and to making the life-changing benefits of cosmetic dentistry available to more people every year.

Bard in Rift worked fine - I would like that class. Problem: Items. Blizz would need to add tons of instruments items just for one class.
Yeah, i am too pro-bards.
Mostly one of the last ( after tinket ) class that can/will be added to wow.
Dps-support role would fit and change a bit the style of game.
And it doesnt come from aion , but from way before .. that doesnt mean that it still wouldnt be a nice idea.
Only way I would want bards to be a part of the WoW universe is if they based it off the power of the Wishsong from the Shannara universe. Not necessarily singing songs, but more or less just controlling the pitch and volume, etc. of your voice to focus energy into what you want it to be with your mind. Maybe cross it a bit with the Dragon Shouts from Skyrim. You're welcome!! Alas, it will never happen.
nay, I hate music
also: whenever I see poll options as "yay" or "nay" I remember disgaea
Warlorcs of Draenorc made me quit. You can't have my stuff.
but should it ever happen, I want them to have all of ricardo's attacks:
Warlorcs of Draenorc made me quit. You can't have my stuff.
Bards don't exist on Warcraft lore and if there is a hint of them, it's pretty minor.
I do like bard classes in general, however It doesn't seem like a fit for WoW not for game play nor do I see how the lore can be squeezed in currently. Though that doesn't mean blizz wouldn't make up something new to force it, but overall to me Nay.
Kibblet Infectionate Serenades Bubblesbee[A] ↑ ↓ [H]
Taxiporte Nasturtium Fisticuffs Blesshu Sinnocence Shoctologist Ellipsis Hiddenfee Teddiursa
ANOTHER new melee class?
I would really like a spellcaster-type necromancer. They could easily be implemented in a Northrend/Scourge revamp xpac, and start alongside DK's.
Currently flailing around, mid-bubble, in order to heal the WoD content with his new main. Thank the light for Lay on Hands, right?
A Bard class would fit just right in wow if they allowed support specs again because it is a pure support class, with nothing more other than a dps spec workable onit. But this time make them have a real support role and then minor dps then the other way around. This is the only way I see a support spec happening, so the player has minor dps that is boosted just enough to be soloing but has mainly supportive abilities that augment the allies performance in battle. I see no real reason why this couldn't be applied in wow for support specs. The way I would implement a Bard class would be to have a musical spec to be a healer support because music is good for ur mind and spirit, an actor spec that uses acts acompannied by music to awe enemies in place and inspire allies and a dancer dps spec, because every class needs a dps right??maybe u would like to check out my idea in my signature
Last edited by DonQShot; 2013-01-19 at 03:27 PM.
For the second time in as many days, nay. I don't see how this would ever fit into WoW lore and it would look absolutely absurd to have somebody over there strumming a lute or blowing a fife while I'm trying to tank a pack of orcs or something.
I'm dividing classes into three tiers.
Original. The ones from vanilla.
Tier two. Monk, DK. and the next mail class. This will balance out the 4 gear types.
Tier three. Anything added beyond the first three per gear type.
I see Demon Hunter as the last tier two class. But I do see Bard being added as a tier three cloth or leather.
Blizz has a number of musical animations already in game. And I'm sure making a bard would be like making a DK (unique resource) and Monk (New animations) plus some extra (New weapon type?)
---------- Post added 2013-01-19 at 10:13 AM ----------
If you ask me, Bard has a bit of a bad name. The idea of song/story to inspire or uninspire would fit well with WoW's dark story. I mean what would be better than fighting the Legion while hearing the legend of Turalyon, or how Agewynn defeated Sargeras.
makes sense to me
Exactly and not only that, people need to understand that Bards aren't in-game because of the current dps/healer/tank template, because how can music mitigate damage or fully heal an allie or even deal damage? But they would fit perfectly in a support role which is what they do best. A singing minstrel for improving healing on allies makes sense because music is capable of lifting our spirits, a thespian/actor is capable of deceiving enemies and inspiring allies working well as an all-around support spec and finally a dancing gymnastic capable of doing damage and stunning foes would also be a new and exciting way to dps. I have this all in my Bard idea thread if anyone cares 2 read more about it...f you ask me, Bard has a bit of a bad name. The idea of song/story to inspire or uninspire would fit well with WoW's dark story. I mean what would be better than fighting the Legion while hearing the legend of Turalyon, or how Agewynn defeated Sargeras.
Honestly, I would hate for the Bard Class to be added.
Here is why.
Bards Wear Leather, we have 3 Leather classes already, the class gap is only in mail.
Bards are rogues who cast spells and illusions. Adding another class with Stealth would cause all kinds of PVP grief.
Bards Buff, DeBuff, and Tank through evasions and misdirection. It would be far better to make Bards the 4th Spec for Rogues as a tanking spec, with some party utility.
So I vote for the Rogue 4th Spec being called bard based on the Subtlety evasion Tank spec with added Party utilities, like a debuff which makes it easier for party members to hit, and a party buff for damage It could even have a few seconds of party dancing for flavor.
Rogues would never go for that because for some reason they're in love with being the "only pure melee dps class", as if that meant something important.
I think Combat should be switched to a tank spec. Think of Errol Flynn in the old pirate movies or the Count of Monte Cristo, or Robin Hood or something along those lines. Those guys could take on a pack of 10 opponents and wiggle and dodge their every attack. That would make an awesome tank spec. They wouldn't use shields, they'd dual-wield swords or something and parry everything while dancing circles around their opponents. The more they dodge and parry, the more they frustrate and anger their target, thereby holding aggro.
Bards really can't have a place in WoW without them introducing a couple other support classes or at least changing specs to give multiple classes a support class role. Seeing as they've moved shamans further away from that role, I don't see them going back and reintroducing it.
a little too much based off the Rift bard ur 4th rogue spec suggestion no? anyways here is the multiple items ur post is dead wrong:
-Bards do not need to wear leather.they also don't need to wear mail really. leave the mail to demon hunters and dragonsworns and let Brads become the first cloth melee dps. Anyway that's up to Blizzrd 2 decide not u.
-bards are not rogues, they are performers of the arts. they do not cast illusions, those are the mesmers from GWs.
-bards buff, debuff(they do not tank) through artistical performances that inspire allies or affect foes.
---------- Post added 2013-01-19 at 05:29 PM ----------
I second that. That's why my hope rests on Blizzard adding my Tinker, my Dragonsworn and my Bard =(
Since Blizzard has always used D&D as a bases for class ideas, lets look at the bard in 2nd, 3erd, and 3.5 Edition. (there is no 4th edition although there will be a fifth)
Bards have always been used as Rogue who sparkle and preform to cause distraction while the party destroys the target. A good Bard can stand in the back of the party and tank while the warrior rips the target apart.Originally Posted by Wikipedia
In WOW we can't have the tank stand behind the party, but the simple truth is Bards could be added to Rogues, and can be used as a Tank spec.

Professional Development is a life-long learning process that involves different activities including individual progress, continuing education, inservice education, peer collaboration, study groups, and peer coaching or mentoring. The importance of professional development lays in the fact that it is closely related to the overall quality of education and students achievements. Teachers who stop learning and suffice themselves with the curriculum content soon turn into hard working students only a step above their actual students.
Given this huge weight of professional development in our life in general and in the intellectual one in particular, I am sharing with you some great resources that will help you grow professionally and expand your knowledge. But before that let me quote you what Grant ( n.d ) thinks about professional development :
"Professional development ... goes beyond the term 'training' with its implications of learning skills, and encompasses a definition that includes formal and informal means of helping teachers not only learn new skills but also develop new insights into pedagogy and their own practice, and explore new or advanced understandings of content and resources. [This] definition of professional development includes support for teachers as they encounter the challenges that come with putting into practice their evolving understandings about the use of technology to support inquiry-based learning.... Current technologies offer resources to meet these challenges and provide teachers with a cluster of supports that help them continue to grow in their professional skills, understandings, and interests."

Outcomes From Home in Patients Recovering From Major Gynecologic Cancer Surgery: Measuring Symptoms and Health-related Quality of Life
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This study is being done to see if most patients are willing and able to report how they are feeling after surgery using the internet, and if this information can help doctors and nurses detect concerning symptoms after surgery.
This study uses a special new website called WEBCORE. Patients can logon to WEBCORE and answer questions about how they are feeling. Then, doctors and nurses can look at this information during clinic appointments. We are doing this study to see if WEBCORE is a helpful way for us to keep track of information about how patients are feeling and quality of life. If WEBCORE is helpful, we will use it in the future to collect more information about patients' symptoms and quality of life. We can use what we learn to help find better ways of helping patients to prepare for what they will go through while they recover from surgery.
