How Do You Know is a 2010 romantic comedy drama film directed, written and produced by James L. Brooks. It stars Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson and Jack Nicholson.
The film was shot in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. It was released on December 12, 2010. This marks the third film to feature Witherspoon and Rudd following 2009's Monsters vs. Aliens and 1998's Overnight Delivery.
The film was both a critical and financial failure. The film grossed more than $48 million, which is less than half of its enormous $120 million budget, and was therefore considered a financial flop.[1]
Softball player Lisa Jorgenson (Reese Witherspoon) is devastated when she is left off the Team USA roster. Unsure what to do next, Lisa begins dating Matty Reynolds (Owen Wilson), a pitcher for the Washington Nationals. She also receives an intriguing phone call from a young executive, George Madison (Paul Rudd), who was advised by a friend of Lisa's to give her a call. George calls out of politeness because he wants to explain that his relationship with his girlfriend has just become more serious. But life takes an abrupt turn for the worse for George when he suddenly finds himself the target of a federal criminal investigation for corporate malfeasance at a company run by his father, Charles Madison (Jack Nicholson). George is fired from his job and abandoned by the company, with the exception of his father and his pregnant secretary, Annie (Kathryn Hahn).
Still reeling from this blow, George goes to his girlfriend for sympathy and is stunned when she immediately breaks up with him. On a whim, George calls again to invite Lisa to dinner and she accepts. It turns out to be a disaster; George is so overwhelmed with his troubles that Lisa eventually asks that they just eat in silence, and they part ways not expecting to see one another again. Soon, Lisa moves in with Matty, who has a penthouse in the same upscale building where George's father lives. Matty is rich, well-meaning and fun, but is also immature and insensitive, and continues to have casual affairs with other women.
George is indicted and could face prison time. Annie is so loyal that she tries to give him inside information in advance, but he urges her not to lose her own job. Matty tries to do better in Lisa's eyes, promising to consider seeing fewer women on the side. He inadvertently offends her, so Lisa moves out and spends a pleasant, tipsy evening at George's modest new apartment. George's father then drops one last bombshell on his son: It was he who committed the illegal act for which George is being charged. Due to a previous conviction, Charles would spend at least 25 years — basically, the rest of his life — in prison, whereas George would only do three years at most.
On the night Annie's baby is born and her boyfriend proposes, Lisa begins to reconsider her previous reluctance to settle down. George is clearly smitten with her, but Matty pleads for another chance and she accepts. George makes a proposition to his father: He will take one more shot at persuading Lisa to be with him; If she will, Charles must go to jail, and if she won't, George will take the rap for his dad. At a birthday party that Matty throws for her, George confesses his feelings for Lisa and goes outside to give her time to think it over, Charles looking on from above. Finally, Lisa says goodbye to Matty and joins George outside. At the end of the movie, they are seen boarding a bus together.

Brooks began work on the film in 2005, wishing to create a film about a young female athlete. While interviewing numerous women for hundreds of hours in his research for the film, he also became interested in "the dilemmas of contemporary business executives, who are sometimes held accountable by the law for corporate behavior of which they may not even be aware." He created Paul Rudd's and Jack Nicholson's characters for this concept.[3] Filming finished in November 2009,[4] although Brooks later reshot the film's opening and ending.[2]
The total production cost of the film was $120 million, with the net figure at about $100 million after tax rebates from Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia. The combined salaries for the director Brooks (about $10 million) and the four major stars Witherspoon ($15 million), Nicholson ($12 million), Wilson ($10 million) and Rudd ($3 million) totaled about $50 million. Brooks' "slow and meticulous" production and post-production also explained the size of the budget.[2]
Box office[edit]
The film opened at $7.6 million in the United States and Canada, making it eighth in the box office at its first weekend.[5] The film fell off the chart by its third weekend. On its opening day, December 17, 2010, it debuted at #5 behind Tron: Legacy, Yogi Bear, The Fighter and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. By December 22, it was #11 in the box office.
How Do You Know grossed a total of $48,668,907 worldwide, failing to recoup its $120 million budget. [1]
In 2014, the LA Times listed the film as one of the most expensive box office flops of all time.[6]
Critical response [edit]
The film received generally negative reviews. Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 32% based on 144 reviews, making it "Rotten".[7] The site's consensus is: "How Do You Know boasts a quartet of likeable leads – and they deserve better than this glib, overlong misfire from writer/director James L. Brooks".

text: As a flurry of boats go in the water over the next month, the U.S. Coast Guard is reminding skippers that making sure their safety equipment is up to date is as important as remembering to bring bait along. The Coast Guard offers a free, no-fault commercial fishing vessel dockside safety exam that could save lives as well as a potential ticket if an at-sea boarding turns up missing or out-of-date equipment. "There are a number of reasons to get a dockside exam, all of which are good," said Coast Guard Safety Officer Ken Lawrenson. "First and foremost probably is so that you'll know you're in compliance so it won't be a surprise if you get boarded." Dockside safety exams are fairly thorough, Lawrenson said. "They're basically looking at all the safety carriage requirements, the survival craft and survival suits, flares, fire extinguishers, the EPIRBS, they'll take a quick look at the vessel to make sure there aren't any especially hazardous conditions that would cause that vessel to be terminated if it got boarded at sea. Then they'll go down through the minutia as well." Minutia includes having the proper placards with instructions for disposal and/or storage of garbage, accidental oil discharge and injury reporting, as well as having a noise-making device for use in fog, such as a bell or air horn, along with proper vessel documentation. Having a dockside boarding could reduce the odds of an at-sea boarding, according to Lawrenson. "All things being equal, if there's a choice between two fishing vessels to board, and one of them has a valid (safety) decal and one does not, the vessel that does not have the decal way more often than not is going to get the boarding," he said. When the Coast Guard Reauthorization Act of 2010 is implemented, dockside safety exams will be mandatory every two years, and it is likely that an exam now will still be valid when those rules take effect, although the process is a bit drawn out. Lawrenson said that although Congress made the act law, it instructed the Coast Guard to make the regulations. "None of those things can be enforced by the Coast Guard until we go through a rule-making process," he said. "There's going to have to be ample opportunity for the public and for the industry to comment on those proposed rules, and that's going to take a little while because of the administrative procedures act and the rule-making process." That process is ongoing. "For some of the easier parts of this, some of the very well-defined nuts and bolts pieces of the law, we could see implemented in fairly short order," he said, including the mandatory dockside exams. He said the Coast Guard's goal for implementing the dockside exam portion of the regulation for vessels that fish beyond three miles from shore is October 2012 at the latest. Exams conducted before that time would be valid under the new rule, meaning that vessels that get their decals now could beat the rush for a certificate of compliance. Vessel owners on the Kenai Peninsula can call the Coast Guard Marine Safety Detachment in Kenai at (907) 283-3292 to schedule a dockside exam. Other areas can fill out a form at www.fishsafe.info/ contactform.htm. The Alaska Fishing Industry Relief Mission has reactivated its board of directors in the wake of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan that devastated its fishing industry and caused heavy damage to fleets in Oregon and Northern California. AFIRM is offering its services to assist and coordinate the efforts being made by fishermen, processors, transportation and financial segments of the seafood industry from Alaska, the West Coast and their respective offshore federal waters, to provide aid to the fishing communities affected by the disaster. "Japan is Alaska's largest trading partner, with the majority consisting of Alaska seafood. In one way or another, everyone involved in any aspect of the seafood industry in Alaska and the West Coast has strong ties and relationships with Japan." said Larry Cotter, AFIRM's chair. AFIRM's previous accomplishments include sending a 16-ton travel lift to Louisiana after hurricanes Katrina and Rita stranded thousands of fishing vessels far inland, and sending ice-making equipment to replace the equipment vital to fishing operations that was destroyed in the hurricanes. The organization is all volunteer, so 100 percent of donations go the affected fishing communities. Donations are also tax-deductible. For more about AFIRM or to donate, visit www.akjapanhelp.org/index.htm. The Gloucester Times is reporting that $400 million that should have been used to promote seafood caught or farmed in the United States has instead been diverted for years to cover operating costs at NOAA and NMFS. Under the Saltonstall-Kennedy Act, Congress mandated that 60 percent of a revenue stream collected from a tariff on imported seafood was to be used for domestic promotion. According to a Congressional Research Service report examined by the Times, that figure has never been reached, and since 2007 the actual amount has been closer to 10 percent. The diversion of the money was a congressional decision, not the choice of NOAA, said Gary Reisner, CFO of NOAA Fisheries in an interview with the Times. In March 2004, NMFS announced it was closing down the competitive grants program for seafood marketing through the fund, citing insufficient funding. However, two months earlier, while gearing up his the reelection campaign, George W. Bush signed legislation carrying earmarks that distributed at least $15.5 million from the Saltonstall-Kennedy program. The earmarks included one for $10 million from the late U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska, according to a report to Congress in May 2004 by the Congressional Research Service of The Library of Congress.

Electrophysiological effects of propranolol in patients with sinus node dysfunction. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 3172475 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
The electrophysiological effects of intravenous propranolol (0.15 mg/kg) were studied in 26 patients with sinus node dysfunction (SND group) and 9 patients with normal sinus node function (control group). Spontaneous cycle length and AH interval were significantly increased in the control and SND groups after propranolol. PA and HV intervals, calculated sinoatrial conduction time and refractory periods of the atrium, AV node and ventricle were not significantly changed in either group. Maximum corrected sinus node recovery time (max CSRT) was not changed in the control group, but it was significantly prolonged in the SND group. These results of the overdrive suppression test were in disagreement with those of previous studies. Propranolol lengthened spontaneous cycle length (by more than 200 msec) and/or max CSRT (by more than 1000 msec) in 8 of 26 patients with SND. Thus, it is suggested that propranolol should be used with caution in patients with SND. |

I'm very new to Microsoft .Net framework
My question is which is easier and faster to learn Winforms or WPF?
closed as not constructive by mydogisbox, rene, Jeroen, dystroy, iMat Oct 5 '12 at 18:49As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question. |
Easier and faster? Almost certainly winforms. WPF is tricker to quantify - it is more complex yet more powerful, but to be honest I've lost track of it's future... Is it killed? Who knows... Xaml certainly has life in mobile (WP7), though. IMO though, your time is better spent learning web UI - some jQuery or HTML5. |
Neither and Both, easy is very subjective and depends on your background. First of all, I want to show an example of an application with the following in both WPF and WinForms:
WinForms The window can look something like this: The code for this is quite trivial and easy even for a beginner:
So far, we haven't touched anything in the designer. WPF If we copy and paste the exact same code into a new WPF-application, there are just a handfull of things that we have to change some of them being:
However, these are just things that is Different between the two, it's neither more difficult nor more easy in one or the other. So this is what the window looks like in WPF: And the code is Almost identical:
So far both WPF and WinForms seem to be equivilient hard / easy to learn. But this is just the code-behind approach, when we come to the designer, there's a huge difference. WinForms When you develop WinForms applications you drag and drop controls onto your surface and use a property window to change the properties of your window. This looks something like this: So you can drag-n-drop your controls, you can change the properties of each control and snap them to where you want them, easy enough right? WPF So what about WPF? Is it much harder to do the same thing there? I think not: The main difference here is that you have an extra "window" at the bottom that. This window is an XML ( XAML ) view of your design. This is where WinForms and WPF take apart from each other. But just as you can avoid writing Design Code in WinForms, you can Avoid doing it in WPF as well, as a newbie that is. As for newbies, I don't think it's harder nor easier to learn the one or the other, when we get a bit deeper into the technology that is choosen, sure, it gets more complex. But the way there is just as easy or hard no matter which of the two you choose. So when do you choose the one or the other? You choose WinForms because:
You choose WPF because:
How about data-binding, Design Patters and all that? You don't need to know anything about Design Patterns nor how everything works to make a usable application, especially not as a newbie. As time goes by, you will have to learn more about the technology that you choose. People tend to say that you need to know MVVM to use WPF, that is not true. As it is not true that you need to know the MVP pattern to create WinForms applications. Both of the technologies can handle rich-data-driven controls, you have grid views and such in both of them. WinForms has some pretty nice "drag-n-drop"-features for data manipulation and listing and WPF has very nice data-binding. What if I don't want to choose one or the other? The beauty is that you don't have to! You can host WinForms controls in WPF and you can host WPF controls inside WinForms. This means that if you are developing a WinForms application and you want to take advantages of WPF, that's ok you can! So which is easier? Neither and Both! As for a newbie, both can look a lot similar on the surface, even though it is so different when you go deeper. They are similar but so different, the thing is that when you start out, you have other things to think about than how the Routing model works and how to adapt to MVVM. Is XAML dead? No. XAML isn't dead. WP7 uses Silverlight which is also using XAML. Even though a lot of development in the future can be done with HTML5, I doubt that XAML is about to "die". People asked if WinForms was going to die when WPF was released and it hasn't. |
WinForms is massively easier to learn (as there is very little to learn). It will be very easy to develop RAD applications. On the other hand, WPF will require a lot more effort while your app will be more maintainable (with the help of MVVM paradigm). |
Windows Forms is certainly more of a mature technology than WPF, I would say. There is an ample amount of documentation. I think that the WinForms vs. WPF thing is really absurd, because I think they each have their own use. Windows Forms is good, and you can make very appealing UI with it. But I also think that WinForms is very good for developing Windows Look and Feel Applications where with WPF, you are looking for a more multimedia/rich experience. I've developed with WinForms for years now and have yet to adopt WPF, because I still do not have a need for WPF. I can acheive everything I want with WinForms. As a matter of fact I've developed an entire framework based for WinForms to provide a rich, Windows Look and Feel experience, to able to acheive the above shown results with ease. However, if I am in the realm of needing to creating a rich multimedia experience, I would switch over to WPF. But I'm in the realm of developing functional applications like tooks, issue tracking software, framework, etc. As a matter of fact, here is another example of what I have done with WinForms. I feel like I can really push WinForms to the limit, and have the ability to go a step further. I like the development in it. I think when people try to comapre WinForms to WPF in terms of design, I'm not sure they really get just what good design is. Its more then fancy buttons and animations, and pretty ribbon controls. I'm not here to dog on either WinForms or WPF though. I think both are great technologies, but I definitely think WPF is more geared towards a rich multimedia style experience. Furthermore, I don't think either one is easier to learn. WPF you dive into a different event style model with XAML, WinForms you dive into doing more of everything yourself. I think of WinForms vs. WPF in a C++/C# perspective, but in the UI sense. WPF seems like a higher level design style with more abstraction, which makes it much easier to design appealing UI. Rather WinForms, you literally have to make your design well by programming it all. In conclusion (I jumped all over the place), I would try each out and some sample projects, and pick what you like the best, and what meets your specific needs. I don't believe either that just because you have WinForms skills you will be "maintaining code". There are still TONS of things being developed in WinForms today. |
Windows forms, would be easier to learn. View this link for a small writeup on WPF vs Winforms. |
I like to say it this way Winforms is easier because it is designed the same way as you would have designed it with your current intelligence and experience level given you had enough time to implement it. Therefor you can just pick it up and start using it the way you think things work. I often guess when developing winforms and 90% of the time it just works that way. WPF on the other hand is over architectured and trying to be way to smart all the time making it a mess to do the medium range complexity things (guess what's the difference between a UserControl and a CustomControl is and when you have to use which). Super simple stuff as drag and drop editor works to attract users and massive weird things like databinding your application template on the fly with a web service takes 2 lines just for showoff. Anything new you do requires you to look things up in documentation/examples. Use winforms to get things done and if you need the performance for anything go with Direct2d, microsoft has a managed wrapper for it in the Windows API Code Pack 1.1. |
Winforms is basically easier to learn, in particular if you are coming from VB6 WPF is much more powerful in many ways but it has many new concepts (e.g. DataTemplate) that may require a lot of efforts, in particular for beginners. When you learn WPF, you usually learn also the MVVM pattern. This is good but at least for me was not easy at the beginning. In conclusion, WPF has more new concepts than Winform. You have to learn new things and change your way of thinking. This takes time but I think it's worth it because you can use such concepts for other purposes. For examples what I learned with WPF was useful for Android programming. |
While winforms is easier to learn as said by others, WPF is the preferred front end framework for .Net enterprise application these days. If you have winform skills you get to maintain apps, WPF skills will get you into new product development. |
In most cases windows forms would suffice. You can implement almost any confounded ui requirement out of windows forms. The same thing you can get out of wpf. But wpf kind of supports a paradigm called mvvm which separates the UI from the model, and the UI based interactions/validations from both. This makes various aspects of the application independently testable. For e.g. you can take the validation logic, write various test cases around it, and test it independently, without actually disturbing the UI development or the model development. But this is technically what mvvm offers you? Wpf is a technology that utilizes hardware accelerated graphics, and device indepent pixellation. Meaning your form (as long as it doesn't resize) will look the same on a monitor will lower dpi, or, a higher dpi. (DPI is a measure of pixel density).

In Slovakia, MONOGRAM has broken the data flow record
On 2 February 2013 the data traffic limit of 60Gbps was overcome. The record was overcome around 9 p.m., the reason being the broadcast of a new episode of the popular TV show Panelák on joj.sk, not a live broadcast of the hockey league games, as was the case in the past. Exceeding the new limit in data transmission shows the robustness and stability of our solution that is able to handle such an immense burden.
For a more detailed article about the record, visit DSL. Further articles about the solutions for joj.sk can be found in our reference page.

City Business
Wednesday, January 26, 2011
Robert Steel, New York City Deputy Mayor for Economic Development and former CEO of Wachovia, talks about initiatives to grow businesses and jobs in New York.
Robert SteelComments [3]
Okay, so where's this affordable housing? There is no evidence that Bloomberg cares about anything or anybody but the real estate industry. People are paying 50% or more of their incomes on housing. This is shocking. As shocking as the rate of deregulation of so-called regulated apartments. It's the biggest problem facing the majority of people in the New York area and I don't see what's being done about it. Steel had nothing to say.
"Measure" Steel says, as does every Bloombergian and Gatesian educator.
Brian, educating children isn't primarily about measuring. It's about teaching. You have to teach first, then measure.
Parents have been mentioning this often on your show but you haven't picked up on it.
Start calling educators on this.
"Measure what?" ask them.
The NYS budget still doesn't cover 4 years of science for every child.
And the almighty tests, which is the ONLY thing that matters in NYC public schools, don't test for science. Teachers don't get rewarded if kids are great at science.
TEACH first, then measure.
I think we can do without BL's smart-alecky remark about somebody blowing up the train.

WARNING: There may be some glitches you experience due to the framerate slowing down, notably teleporting. If you have a slower computer try closing other programs first. We apologize for this and will fix it as soon as we can.
This is our submission for the 48 hour NG Game Jam 2010!
An adventure like no other! Use the arrow keys or WASD to control Jeremy Bongstarr, our hero, into discovering the reason for the immense drought that has overtaken Dryville!
So yeah.. This game was completed in about 48 hours, all of the coding was done in only 24 though because Monkokio was AWAY saturday! I hope you enjoy playing this as much as we enjoyed getting carpal tunnel trying to finish it in time!
Unfortunately, due to the whole "1 day of coding for the programmer" we didn't have time to include the underwater squids or the fireball-boss. Perhaps we'll update it in the future, but till then..just pretend they're there haha.
-Team Funky-Monkey
Good concept. Average execution.
While the graphics are clean and pleasant to look at, the game engine still has many glitches, namely, the frequently inaccurate collision tests. Also, there should be more interesting things happening along the way, enemies, powerups...
umm yeah
i kept falling threw platforms and it maid me waist water so at the end of the lvl i had to jump off cause i couldent jump anymore
m i linda liked it although movement was pretty slow altogether it was a nice game but it needs some work
Agreed. Not complete. Needs basic challenges and rewards *enemies, health* Oh and I would personally like some sort of upgrade and money system for the jetpack if this game ever gets submitted a bit "fuller".

Great Job!

Rising from the Ashes
Paperback, 206 Pages
Ships in 3-5 business days
This is a true and incredible story of a Japanese adolescent, Shinji Mikamo, who miraculously survived the first atomic bombing of human kinds. He was on top of his house roof with nothing to shield him at only ¾ of a mile (1,200m) from the epicenter in Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 toward the end of the World War II.
But what made Shinji stand out from most of the survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, or even of many other man-made disasters in our history, he never hated Americans as aggressors. He somehow saw things from a much bigger perspective even in the very strict Japanese military government's mind control of civilians during the war.
As one of his three legacy-carrying daughters, Dr. Akiko Mikamo wrote his story to send out the messages of human love and power of forgiveness to remind the world our worst enemies of yesterday could become the best friends of tomorrow.

diet soda over water for weight loss?
People taking part in a weight-loss program did better over 12 weeks if they drank diet soda than if they drank only water, researchers reported.
Among the 303 dieters, the people who drank only water lost 8.4 pounds; those who drank diet soda lost 12.1 pounds, and they reported "greater reduction in subjective feelings of hunger," the researchers said in the journal Obesity.
However, the researchers noted that several observational studies have reported an association between diet soda consumption and weight gain or higher weights. The American Beverage Association, a trade group that represents soft drink makers, funded the current study. That, said dietitian Andy Bellatti, raises a red flag.
James Hill, one of the researchers who conducted the study and a professor of pediatrics, medicine, and physiology and biophysics at the Anschutz Medical Campus of University of Colorado, said the trade group had nothing to do with the study design or analysis and noted that the results were reviewed by other scientists. "I think it is very fair to recognize the funding source and if people are worried they should carefully scrutinize the results," Hill said.
delaying vaccination has Seizure tie
Childhood vaccinations like the one for measles, mumps and rubella carry a small risk of seizures. Some parents postpone their children's vaccinations because they believe the delay decreases the risk. But a new study finds the opposite may be true. The analysis, published online in Pediatrics, involved 5,496 children born from 2004 to 2008 who had seizures in the first two years of life.
For children who received any of their measles-mumps-rubella shots as recommended before age 1, there was no difference in the incidence of seizures in the 10 days after vaccination compared with the period before vaccination. But compared with children who had the vaccine in the first year, children who received it at 16 months had double the incidence of seizure, and those who had the measles-mumps-rubella-varicella vaccine at that age had an incidence that increased almost six times. The risk of seizure after these vaccinations at any age is small — about 1 in 3,000 doses for the MMR vaccine and one in 1,250 for the MMRV vaccine.
antidepressant may help Hot Flashes
The hormone estrogen is the recommended treatment for menopausal night sweats and hot flashes, but some women are unable to use it. Now a trial suggests that the antidepressant venlafaxine, often used as an alternative, is equally effective.
In an eight-week placebo-controlled double-blind study, researchers assigned 339 perimenopausal and postmenopausal women to one of three treatments: 0.5 milligrams a day of estrogen (estradiol), 75 milligrams a day of the antidepressant venlafaxine (Effexor), or a placebo. Before the start of the study, all the women had had symptoms at least 14 times a week.
Compared to the rate before the study — an average of 8.1 episodes a day — the frequency of hot flashes and night sweats declined by 52.9 percent in the estradiol group, 47.6 percent in the Effexor group, and 28.6 percent among those who took a placebo. Both Effexor and estradiol were effective treatments, but the study, published online in JAMA Internal Medicine, was not large enough to show that one was better than the other. "Women have important choices," said the lead author, Hadine Joffe, an associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard. "They should know … that both are effective."

This paper introduces and explores a tool known as the Haptic Drum Kit. The Haptic Drum Kit employs four computer-controlled vibrotactile devices, one attached to each limb via the wrists and ankles. In the mode of use discussed in this paper, haptic pulses are used to guide the playing, on a drum kit, of rhythmic patterns that require multi-limb co-ordination. The immediate aim is to foster rhythm skills and multi-limb coordination. A broader aim is to systematically develop skills in recognizing, identifying, memorizing, retaining, analyzing, reproducing and composing monophonic and polyphonic rhythms. We consider the implications of three different theories for this approach: the work of the music educator Dalcroze (1865-1950 [1]; the entrainment theory of human rhythm perception and production [2,3]; and sensory motor contingency theory [4]. In this paper we introduce the Haptic Drum Kit; consider the implications of the above theories for this approach; report on a design study; and identify and discuss a variety of emerging design issues. As part of the design study, audio and haptic guidance was compared for five people learning to play polyphonic drum patterns of varying complexity. The results indicate that beginning drummers are able to learn intricate drum patterns from the haptic stimuli alone, although haptic plus audio is the mode of presentation preferred by subjects.

News Release (14/01/10)
Thomas Cook Airlines is flying high as it becomes the first charter airline in the UK to launch an internet check-in service for passengers travelling from Bristol Airport. Customers will now have the choice to book in online in advance of arriving at the airport, or continue to use the traditional method.
Online check-in is also available for outbound Thomas Cook Airlines flights from London Gatwick, London Stansted, Leeds Bradford, Belfast and Newcastle. The service is due to be extended to the other UK airports from which Thomas Cook flies in the near future.
Online check-in couldn't be easier or more convenient.

This enables them to choose their seats and check-in online, and print their boarding cards from the comfort of their own home, up to seven days before the flight departs. On the day of their flight, they take their luggage to the Thomas Cook Airlines designated bag drop before heading to passport control.
Seats Together/ Your Seat Your Choice costs from £12 per person return and Priority Seat Selection, which enables seat selection up to 98 days before travel, costs from £6 per person per flight. Extra leg room seats are also available from £23.50 per person per flight. Passengers log on to
to select their seats and check-in.

Berry Craig: Of course, not all Republicans are bigots. But Paul and his pals are more proof — as if proof were needed — that the GOP is mainly what the Southern Democrats were in slavery and Jim Crow days: the white folks' party.

Reviews for Black-Eyed Pea Casserole
Sort By :
"Easy to make and good to eat. I did have Worcestshire sauce added and on the side for those who wanted to add more of that flavor. I'll make this again!"
"This is a very good dish - nice and hearty with the beans and rice. I made a mistake and got the plain black-eyed peas instead of the cans with the jalapenos. But I used all sausage, added the Worcestershire sauce that others suggested, plus a few drops of hot sauce, so it still had some kick. Everyone went back for seconds. Don't skimp on the cheese."
"Its a Hit!!! I took the advice of a couple other reviews, I added the Worshire sauce and instead of 2 lbs of beef, I added 1 lb beef and 1 lb spicy sausage. To my personal serving I added a dash of Louisiana Hot Sauce. Awesome Recipe. Even those who claim to not like blackeyed peas loved it."
"The recipe is seriously very good but needed some flavor. It needed that SOMETHING extra. The awesome fix? My family LOVES it with Lea & Perrin's Worcestshire Sauce. Off Brand's don't cut it. Get the good stuff. Drain your meat and then add it in. Don't just add a few drops. It REALLY makes this recipe come together. I even sprinkle more sauce on my plate cause it's that good with this recipe. So yummy. My husbands favorite! I also sprinkle cheese all over the top not just the edges. You'll be lucky if there's any left in the casserole dish for next day leftovers. =)"
"Made this for a BBQ last week, changed to 1/2 size and put in Vegetarian crumbles instead of the beef, no-one knew the difference and it just disappeared. Great recipe.."

Finding a place to adopt a pet
By Cathy M. Rosenthal : January 5, 2012 : Updated: January 8, 2012 8:32pm
Dear Cathy: We lost our 14-year-old Himalayan cat this year. Our tabby, who is about the same age, was diagnosed two weeks later with hyperthyroidism and was treated with radioactive iodine a month ago. Our vet will recheck her this week. If all is good, we are ready as a family, which includes three dogs, to bring another kitty into the home.
We want to focus on an older kitty though, 2 to 10 years old, so that the cats will mesh together a little better. My question is, does it matter which shelter in San Antonio we adopt from? Is it best to go to a private no-kill shelter or go straight to Animal Care Services where the animals have a time limit? I want to rescue a life. I figure you have a good idea of the whole process.
Dear Stephanie: Kudos to you for not just wanting to adopt, but wanting to adopt an older cat. Many people pass over older cats. Yet mature cats offer established personalities that give you more insight into how they might get along with other people and pets in the home.
As for your question, any animal shelter is a good choice for adopting a new pet. Because the animals at ACS have less time to be noticed, you could start there if you want. But just the fact that you're adopting your next pet from a shelter is life-saving in itself.
In a multi-pet household, it's important to take your time during your pet search. You may have to visit a shelter several times or visit multiple shelters around town before you meet your next friend.
So visit any animal shelter or off-site adoption event, knowing you are saving a life no matter what, but adopt only from the organization where you find the perfect feline for your family.
Dear Cathy: I am at my wits' end with my 5-year-old miniature Schnauzer. Mia has anxiety attacks when the oven is turned on. She shakes and goes to a corner or under the bed to try to dig her way out of the house. She insists on going outside and will stay outside until the oven is turned off. She has always been like this.
Now she has a problem with my new laptop. She no longer follows me to my office. She stays on the other side of the house. Occasionally, she will cautiously and slowly come in the office, trembling. I also like to watch TV and use my laptop in my bedroom. She cannot deal with that either. She jumps off of the bed and will only calm down if I hold her. Using my laptop in my office and in my bedroom is really, really hard with a 17-pound dog on my lap. Any suggestions? Take her for counseling maybe?
Dear Gary: I don't think there is anything anyone can say to her that will make her less anxious. Some dogs just have anxiety. Talk to your veterinarian, though, as there are medications that can help dogs relax and cope better with their world. Don't be afraid to try them.
Some dogs also may benefit from wearing an Anxiety Wrap® or Thundershirt® (it's like a great big hug). Her treatment may require a combination of approaches.

Council will continue to monitor the parks and ball fields within the borough, and will prosecute anyone who is found damaging or defacing public property, Smeal said, adding that the borough will incur an additional charge since the company that owns the porta-john had to come out Sunday to put it back up.

PUNXSUTAWNEY ŌĆö Punxsutawney's Tyler Skerkavich is moving from one successful baseball program to another, as the senior will attend Frederick Community College in Maryland to play for the Cougars, who were recently ranked the No. 1 National Junior College Athletic Association Division II school in the nation.
The Cougars, who finished the season with a 43-7 record and a No. 10 ranking in the national poll, were ranked in the top 20 in the nation over the past 13 years. That includes five trips to the NJCAA Division II World Series and one trip to the national title game in 2002.

Corbin and McIntyre both expressed gratitude to their voting constituents, and saw the primary victories as affirmation that they are performing their duties well.

How long??
I am very worried about bloat with my GSD puppy and don't want her to get it. How long should I wait to play ball with her? I've read online about an hour. Is this correct? Thanks!

I use the rule, no play hour before and after eating. When we're out exercising, normally the last 1/4 mile I force us to a slow walk, so they have time to cool down before gettiing a drink as well.

I am the same hour on either side camp. But also, I have the rule, if they are panting they don't eat. I will allow water during excersise, but I don't allow them to engorge in it. I usually count 5 seconds then call them off.

I do the same usually. It's strange, Cruz is my fifth GSD I've had in my life and until I came here and seen what bloat does, it never crossed my mind nor have I ever had a GSD of mine get it. Not to say it could never have happened. Maybe things just worked out that way. Cruz is also the first GSD I've ever had a feeding schedule for. All my other GSD's had free feeding. They ate when they wanted.
Really, I think the approach I'm going with now that I've been exposed to information here has helped and made me aware of things to avoid and things I should pay attention to that I never used to. |

Sahara is my fourth shepherd and I have never experienced it before either. But Sahara is a little different she is my husband and I'd first dog together and the other three were dogs I grew up with from my parents. I'm always worried about her, it's kind of ridiculous on how much because I will literally make my self sick reading about things and worried about her.

Good so far! I'm way ahead of the game - we already have our location selected, I found my dress (rather than making it as originally planned), and some of the invitation components are being laser cut by my father already. We're even registered at Amazon and DisneyDirect too. And, I'm almost finished with one of the 14 centerpieces.Originally Posted by Earkid
In addition, we have good friends whom we're hiring for photographers, DJ, officiant, and the cake.
Pretty much all that is left to decide on is the flowers.
[QUOTE=disneymeimei]Good Evening Belles and Beasts (oh and Beaus, too!)
Scuba - sorry about your headache...migraines are the worst.
DL4Me - We have back to school night tomorrow also! Your DS sounds very athletic! Let me know what you think of Martha's show. I used to like to watch her, then didn't, then did again, but after her conviction I was mad and didn't want to give her any of my hard earned money, but now I'm thinking she is very clever...oh dear...should I watch or not?
I don't care much for Migraines and you have my sympathy there Scuba
DS is liking all his sports and finds it hard to choose. Right now it is Hockey/Skating Guitar and we gave up swim club this year (swims well enough, but not his thing he says. We will switch to lessons once a year maybe.) In the spring he likes lacrosse and baseball. This season he tried soccer again and was enjoying it until his Dad started paintball and which do you think was more exciting. They have some great mini camps for Basketball and Football here too. Karate is good although we are taking a break from that too right now. It is funny though, he enjoys and is pretty good at most of his sports but he certainly doesn't look athletic. He is like a little porkchop right now. You could rub his belly and make a wish. Hopefully the next growing spurt will be up instead of out. I am lucky though as a few friends have kids that do not want to do anything and I have so much fun watching him play.
The show was better than I thought it would be. The one team sure blew the first round. I was happy the fellow was sent home. I may try and catch a few more episodes. I actually have a sign in my kitchen that says, "Martha Stewart, does NOT live here!" I didn't follow the story of what happened much but I did hear she did some time for the crime.
[QUOTE=disney jones] Good morning all! Waiting for Zoe to eat her oatmeal so i can take her to school - then we'll come back and take Syd to some skating lessons - have a great day!!
Oh I bet she was excited about the oatmeal. Did she get to sprinkle brown sugar on it. That was the best part when we were kids. Have fun at skating.
DS was gagging down his Oatmeal Crisp...he wanted the Computer game out of the box....he will get it when the box is done. Mean mum today.
Yep, the first episode was the recap at 8 and the premier was right after it at 9. $^%#*%@@!!!!
And, I think someone on here sent me a pm yesterday and I was not able to view it and lost it. So whoever did, please resend.
note to self: get brown sugar today.Originally Posted by Disney4Me
Skating was fun today. the rink has wi-fi and i was able to do some surfin'. The best part was when Syd went up to her instructor at the start and give her a big hug. She is coming along nicely. One trick they use is to sprinkle Beanie babies on the ice and have the kids skate over and pick them up. very cute.
And i've never seen Lost or Desperate Housewives. At the jones, it's either Disney Channel or sports (mainly baseball), and literally that's it besides occasional news.

Kelly, Luke Tristian (2010)
Ph.D. thesis, University of Birmingham.
| AbstractThe main results of this thesis are the following. We show that for each alpha > 0 every sufficiently large oriented graph G with minimum indegree and minimum outdegree at least 3 |G| / 8 + alpha |G| contains a Hamilton cycle. This gives an approximate solution to a problem of Thomassen. Furthermore, answering completely a conjecture of Haggkvist and Thomason, we show that we get every possible orientation of a Hamilton cycle. We also deal extensively with short cycles, showing that for each l > 4 every sufficiently large oriented graph G with minimum indegree and minimum outdegree at least |G| / 3 + 1 contains an l-cycle. This is best possible for all those l > 3 which are not divisible by 3. Surprisingly, for some other values of l, an l-cycle is forced by a much weaker minimum degree condition. We propose and discuss a conjecture regarding the precise minimum degree which forces an l-cycle (with l > 3 divisible by 3) in an oriented graph. We also give an application of our results to pancyclicity. |
