ends of porch boards rotted
my 2nd floor back porch is t &g boards painted . in the process of preping to paint, found the edges of the boards some are rotten, they stick out under the railing and rest on top of a small roof(garage is under porch). their( was) is aluminum on the edge but its old and crumbling was tared at on time. can i cut the edges and just repalce the outer part?
Yes---maybe. It will depend on where the joists are---you need to keep the original deck boards supported and also have a place to attach the new wood.
A picture would help.---Mike---

And people think taxes are so boring. . . From where I sit, I see how companies evade taxes (they're not just creative with their tax planning, they're encouraging evasion). It seems self-serving, but it's unwise when certain companies ignore sound tax counsel and advice. I know too that those companies' employees see the evasion and how their management may choose to ignore or even assist with the evasion.

$104 Million. . . Just for Blowing the Whistle on a Tax Evader. . .
Under the IRS Whistleblower Program, the federal agency will reward people (and certainly current and former employees are a great source for) solid information about a non-compliant taxpayer. In fact, it just awarded $104 million to a former UBS employee who alerted the IRS to his company's tax evasion scheme with respect to its clients. This six figure award, even when that former UBS employee had served time in prison for the very role he had played in that tax evasion! Read this for a brief description of the convict who netted the $104 million.
It can't be taken lightly. Employees will by-pass their own management to complain directly to the IRS about tax issues they suspect, particularly if the prospect of an award so far exceeds any holiday bonus they may get or any class action of which they think they should take part.

This is nuts! I studied abroad 10 years ago in York and had no problem getting a bank account (Barclays or HSBC, I think) and getting a pay-as-you-go phone. My carrier was Orange, and this article is spot-on with how much cheaper it is for phone service over there (example: you are not charged for incoming texts or incoming calls). They must have tightened up the requirements. Is there such a thing as a credit union in the UK?

I never thought of my spending in this way before. In warmer weather this would drop a bit, but I am am still spendy on non-winter footwear. I walk a lot since I don't have a car, so that is another area where I feel paying for quality is a good value.

WHY are menstrual products ineligible for FSA funds? I think it's quite silly that something so intimately related to our bodies for health reasons can't be deducted. I used to have a Diva Cup and I LOVED it, but now I have an IUD and the cup would make me nervous about dislodging my tiny copper Destroyer. Cups, pads, poons and painkillers, should all be eligible for those funds. Rogaine and Viagra are covered. What gives?

Chornobyl 25th Anniversary Conference to Explore European Stereotypes
observes the 25th anniversary of the Chornobyl nuclear disaster that remains
the worst nuclear catastrophe in contemporary history, which affected the
very attitude to the nuclear power worldwide. The consequences of this
accident are still fresh in the memory of the European population according
to the survey conducted by the Benenson Strategy Group conjointly with First
International Resources on
The Chornobyl disaster has become a sad symbol of

According to the survey, aimed to assess the public opinion on Chornobyl's
influence on a number of important social issues, the vast majority of
European population (86-89%) believe, that Chernobyl catastrophe has
"somewhat" or "very much" affected their health. At the same time, 71% of
French population is still concerned that the Chornobyl consequence continues
to affect their health. Almost all Ukrainian respondents (about 98%)
indicated that the 1986 accident "badly affected" their health and more than
half or the respondents (55%) believe that their health continues to be "very
much" affected by the accident.
Nevertheless, the survey shows, that Ukrainian respondents positively
assess the perspectives of national nuclear sector development. Currently,
nuclear energy is of utmost importance for the country's economy, since half

Background: 'Haircut-associated bleeding' is a newly recognized entity that affects at least a quarter of African men who wear shiny clean-shave ('chiskop') haircuts. Aim: This pilot study aimed to elucidate whether invisible haircut-associated bleeding was detectable using blood specific RNA markers (16 participants, 5 with unknown HIV status) and whether surface virus could be detected using PCR from scalp swabs (of 11 known HIV-positive participants). Methods: Haircuts were performed professionally and scalps examined by a dermatologist to exclude injury. Serum samples for viral loads were also collected at the same time. Results: In all, 6/16 (37%) samples tested positive (>100 relative fluorescent units) for hemoglobin beta and albumin, confirming evidence of blood; of these, only 1/11 was HIV-positive but had an undetectable serum viral load. No surface HIV was detected from any scalp samples. Conclusions: This study confirms the entity of haircut-associated bleeding but goes further to show for the first time that invisible bleeding from clean-shave haircuts is also common. Both a high serum viral load and evidence of bleeding should ideally be present prior to surface HIV detection. Future investigations for potential HIV (and hepatitis B) transmission through clean-shave haircuts are warranted but should not delay public education for disease prevention.

Most haircuts are performed with scissors or clippers held a distance away from the scalp. Close-shave haircuts are worn by 70% of African men in the Cape Town [1]; the most popular of these is the shiny clean-shave cut, locally called 'chiskop'. This is achieved by pressing the metal of the electric hair clipper directly and firmly onto the scalp without using the manufacturer-supplied clipper combs that determine hair length; the result is similar to that achieved with razor blades.
A history of visible bleeding after clean-shave haircuts has been reported in at least a quarter of men who wear this hairstyle (32% of men with unknown HIV status [2] and 24.8% of HIV-positive males [3]). Blood-borne viruses like the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are a major public health concern. Published evidence suggests that HIV remains viable for several days at room temperature in dried blood on surfaces [4] and may be resistant to commonly used disinfectants [5]. The potential risk of virus transmission through non-sexual routes such as contaminated barbering equipment could easily be eliminated through adequate sterilization; there is however evidence of inconsistent disinfection and little or no sterilization of haircut equipment [6,7,8]. Many makeshift barbershops in Africa operate out of old shipping containers and shacks with no running water.
Several studies have demonstrated that the identification of body fluids such as invisible blood from forensic stains using mRNA blood specific markers is possible. These mRNA markers detect genes expressed in blood, i.e. hemoglobin beta (HBB), spectrin beta (SPTB) and porphobilinogen deaminase (PBGD) [9]. The current pilot studies investigated whether evidence of invisible bleeding could be demonstrated from clean-shave haircuts, which RNA marker would be the most sensitive and whether HIV could be detected through PCR done on scalp swabs taken immediately after a haircut in HIV-positive participants.
Ethical approval was obtained from the Faculty of Health Science Ethics Committee and permission to conduct the study from the District Health Office. Informed consent was obtained from the study participants, who were all male and older than 18 years. The first pilot study investigated whether invisible bleeding or oozing of serum occurred. It included 5 participants of unknown HIV status who all had two samples taken, one tested for RNA markers (HBB, SPTB, PBGD) and a second for albumin. The second pilot study included 11 HIV-positive males who had a recent CD4 count (<500, preferably <200 if possible). Two scalp samples were taken from each, one for HBB and the other for HIV PCR, as well as whole blood for HIV PCR and CD4 count. Scalp samples were collected immediately after a clean-shave haircut performed by a professional barber. A dermatologist examined the scalp to ensure that no fluid (clear or red) was visible in included participants. Two sterile cotton swabs were rubbed over the subject's scalp and individually stored dry in a sterile tube for later use.
Total RNA was extracted as per manufacturer's instruction (Qiagen, South Africa). The eluted RNA was used for cDNA synthesis with reverse transcriptase (Fermentas, South Africa) and random hexamer primers. PCR was performed on blood lysates using sequence-specific primers for HBB, SPTB and PBGD (sequences available on request). PCR products were detected with a 3130xl Genetic Analyzer (Applied Biosystems, USA). Briefly, a 1-µl aliquot of PCR product was added to 8 µl Hi-Di Formamide and 0.2 µl of GeneScan 500 Rox size standard (Applied Biosystems). The samples were heated to 96°C before being loaded onto the analyzer. The conditions used for capillary electrophoresis were as follows: samples were injected through a 36-cm capillary filled with pop7 polymer at a temperature of 60°C. Samples were injected for 3 s using an injection voltage of 1.2 kV and electrophoresed for approximately 20 min. The raw data were analyzed using Peak Scan V1.0. Two sets of primers were added at the same time - one for the blood specific marker and a housekeeping gene (GAPDH) - to confirm whether a negative reaction really had no product or whether the reaction itself failed.
Albumin was detected using UV Spectrophotometry at 400-465 nm. Briefly, swabs were soaked in PBS for 4 h with intermittent vortexing before being centrifuged and then analyzed directly for microalbumin.
Viral loads for HIV RNA (quantitative real-time RNA PCR) were performed using the Abbott RealTime HIV-1 (Abbott Molecular Inc., USA) according to the manufacturer's protocol. In addition, a sensitive nested qualitative HIV RNA PCR amplified a 170 bp region of the gag gene and was performed using primers GAG A, GAG B, GAG C and GAG D as well as a PCR protocol based on Engelbrecht and van Rensburg [10]. PCR products were analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis.
Fluorescent capillary electrophoresis showed that the threshold for positive markers was 100 relative fluorescent units. The threshold value for a positive test was set to 100 fluorescent units based on a detection limit of 25 fluorescent units. At this level the background was minimal and peaks clear. In the first pilot study, the 5 samples tested were all positive for both HBB and albumin whilst other RNA markers were negative or inconsistently positive (table 1); samples were analyzed alongside a positive (blood) and a negative (blank swab) control (fig. 1). In the second pilot study, the HBB marker was positive in only 1 of 11 participants of whom the majority were on HIV treatment. Five of the 11 participants had a blood CD4 <200 and 9 had very low or undetectable blood HIV viral loads. In all samples, including the 2 participants with high blood viral loads, HIV was not detectable from scalp swabs (both qualitatively and quantitatively). Six out of 16 (37%) samples demonstrated the presence of HBB (table 2).
|Table 1. Pilot study 1: unknown HIV status
|Table 2. Pilot study 2: HIV-positive participants
|Fig. 1.a Positive control (known blood). Expected peak for HBB-positive samples at 152.37 bp using the HBB mRNA marker. b HIV-positive participant (scalp swab). Negative for blood specific mRNA marker (HBB), indicated by an absence of peak. c HIV-positive participant (scalp swab). Positive for blood specific mRNA marker (HBB), indicated by presence of peak at 152 bp. d Negative (RNA) control (clean swab). No blood identification as indicated by absence of RNA marker peak.
Although no visible bleeding was observed in participants, blood was detected in 37% of samples. The 100% presence of HBB and albumin in the first 5 pilot study participants created the expectation of a high rate of HBB-positives for the second study. It was prematurely considered unnecessary to test for albumin as none of the samples in the first study were positive for albumin alone (which would suggest oozing of serum). All scalp swabs were taken (at the same time as the blood) without prior knowledge of current blood viral loads. We aimed to include treatment-naïve participants presenting with low CD4 counts (ideally <200) in order to estimate the worst possible risk of transmission potential. It is perhaps an indication of the success of the Langa HIV Clinic's diagnosis and treatment program that it was difficult during the study period to find new clinic attendees with CD4 values <200 (5 of 11 participants); only 2/5 were treatment-naïve and both tested HBB-negative. It was not surprising that all scalp swabs had undetectable virus, as even the one swab that was HHB-positive came from a participant with very low blood viral load.
We included the more sensitive nested qualitative test because commercial HIV viral load kits may not be reliable for virus detection in testing minute scalp samples. In hindsight, the study design was not suitable for detecting scalp surface HIV as a potential for disease transmission through haircut-associated injury. Ideally, swab HIV detection should be attempted in samples with proven haircut-associated bleeding and high serum viral loads. Future studies should also investigate the risk of hepatitis B transmission through contaminated clean-shave haircuts.
This study confirms data reporting that clean-shave haircuts increase the risk of injury and bleeding; it goes further to report for the first time that invisible bleeding also commonly occurs. Future studies to quantify the potential for HIV transmission through contaminated clean-shave haircuts should not delay urgent health education. The available data are adequate for pragmatic promotion of public health messages of adequate equipment sterilization between haircuts and promotion of individual clipper ownership. Further, chemical depilatories or longer haircuts are alternatives for avoiding haircut-associated injuries.

http://www.lapaellanyc.com It's all about Spain at this tapas spot in the East Village, open since 1995. Inside, rustic wooden furniture, wrought-iron chandeliers and a mural depicting Don Quixote give the place a worn-in, Old World vibe. The mood is often festive thanks to the long list of Spanish wines and pitchers of fruit-filled sangria. As you probably could guess from the name, paella is a big draw here; try the Basque, filled with chorizo, chicken, shrimp, mussels and squid. Ham and cheese croquettes, goat cheese-stuffed peppers, bacon-wrapped shrimp and grilled sea scallops are just some of the small plates on the menu. Choose individually or opt for the mixed tapas plate for two. Several deals are also available: the three-course $13 lunch set and the three-course early bird special (including a beer or glass of sangria) for $17, available between 5pm and 7pm.—Keith Wagstaff Read more about La Paella East >>
http://www.myspace.com/librarybar The Library is named as such in the same way that Bob Saget's most famous joke is called "The Aristocrats." After taking in its scholarly façade--sullied racks and racks of books--you spot, on a sign above the bar, an advertisement for "The Pube," which consists of a can of Busch and a shot of whiskey, all for $5. That's the drink of a true dive. Grunge and punk music blares in the background, and skull heads decorate the blackened room to match. Read more about The Library >>
http://www.litloungenyc.com Marquee and Tenjune aren't the only places to dance in this town (but you're not there for the dancing, are you?). Lit offers stellar DJs spinning anything with a good pulse (though they tend towards the New Wave, and have for years), surprisingly cheap drinks and frequent open-bar hours, and a tiny, cozy space for boozing/schmoozing. The real intimacy and gyrating is found downstairs in the cave-like bunker where no one cares what you're wearing, only when it's coming off. Read more about Lit Lounge >>
Local 138 proves that you only need one item to open a bar: a physical, wooden bar. Nothing special, really, just a plank of wood that separates the bartender and the crowd, and leaves space for some beers to rest in the middle. This spot's boldest decorations include thick turbine fans, golden bronze paint, and two box TVs; it's neither a dirty rock 'n' roll dive nor a tchotchke-laden sports bar, but it ain't pretty, either. Natives and nomads come here precisely for that reason, refueling during the generous 5-to-9 happy hour before reemerging into the night. Read more about Local 138 >>
http://www.loreleynyc.com The backyard of this Lower East Side beer garden seems too big to be tucked away on such a narrow stretch of Rivington Street. Walk through the perfectly pleasant dining room, lined with exposed brick lit by hanging chandeliers, to where the real action is: outside. Rows of thick wooden tables are littered with hulking steins of beer, shielded from the rain by umbrellas. You can order 12 different beers by the half-liter and liter, including Spaten, Hofbrau, Radeberger and other brews from Germany. Settle down for an afternoon of drinking or order a full meal. Meaty entrees include the brined, braised and roasted pork shank, sausage platter with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes, and thinly pounded pork schnitzel. If you aren't that hungry, a few warm pretzels or a single bratwurst should hold you over until you are. There are also a few German, Austrian and New World wines available alongside bottled beers and a small selection of cocktails.—Keith Wagstaff Read more about Loreley Restaurant >>
http://www.louis649.com Doubling as a showroom for owner and furniture designer Andrew Rumpler, the cozy and elegant Louis showcases the man's capable craftsmanship, luring customers with custom-made smooth wooden tables and durable benches, an unglazed porcelain-tile-covered bar top, simple pull-down cabinets, and 1930s art deco lighting designs. If you could care less about sofas, the expansive wine list, delectable hors d'oeuvres, and live jazz could change your mind. Read more about Louis 649 >>
Lovers of Today, the latest in semi-secret Alphabet City cocktail bars, does everything right. As one emphatic Yelp user once declared, "Bring your date here, and you'll get laid." We'd have to agree. This tiny subterranean speakeasy possesses subdued, classic decor with a Hogwarts mystique: vintage chandeliers, weathered plastered walls, leather-booth seating, a mahogany ceiling. And, most importantly, Steven. He's the lanky, bespectacled bartender who prepares 10 types of $12 cocktails, the ingredients of which are delicately painted on the window. "Fan Mail," for example, consists of lime, lavender, honey, aged rum, and champagne. Did you hear that? Lavender! Yeah, these drinks are definitely worth 12 bucks, especially if you're buying two. Read more about Lovers of Today >>
http://www.yucabarnyc.com Alphabet City's Latin fusion hub, Yuca Bar, entices the gullet through key specials. The happy hour extends from 1 to 8 p.m., all tapas are half off on "Loco Tuesday," and drink specials range from watermelon martinis to caipirinhas. In the spirit of the place's cuisine, the decor mixes together bits and pieces of Latin imagery--clay vases, photos of crowded apartment fronts, sunlight-colored paints--to relaxing effect. An order of plantains completes the experience. Read more about Luca Bar & Restaurant >>
Lucy's is named after the Betty White of Alphabet City: a beloved, alcohol-distributing grandmother figure who presides over a motley mix of locals, regulars, and neighbors. From the sheet-covered windows, you can tell that this quintessential dive is something more than a quintessential dive-it's a clubhouse. People know each other's names here. Fitted with two pool tables, non-seasonal Christmas lights, and neon beer signs, it has all the dive-bar conventions minus the faux-antique decor of neighboring bars--everything in here has aged through genuine repeated use. Make sure to say hi to Lucy when you drop by; she'll be smiling behind the bar. Read more about Lucy's >>
http://www.lunasabar.com This East Village spot basically takes the traditional Irish pub formula and adds a modern, minimalist sheen to it. Its name roughly translates from Gaelic to "August," which refers both to month the bar was born and to an ancient harvest festival. August is also a great time to enjoy its quaint backyard, where ivy-covered walls surround a handful of wooden benches. During colder months, you can settle in at the bar and watch the game on one of several HDTVs. The owners regularly hang exhibitions from artists they like up on the red brick walls. The bar serves pub fare like bangers and mash, fish and chips, and burgers along with more upscale entrees such as pan-seared salmon and wild mushroom ravioli to go with the 11 beers on tap. Come in during the week (Mon-Fri, 4pm-7pm) for happy hour, where a variety of drinks and appetizers are half-off.—Keith Wagstaff Read more about Lunasa >>
http://kareem-rogers-st2m.squarespace.com/ Sweet simplicity reigns at the newly opened Mamaas Bar, sibling and neighbor of bustling Mamaas Food Shop. Thereas no sign on the door at this cozy, low-key, a40s-style neighborhood joint. Grab a cheap bottle ($4), one of the Brooklyn Brewery beers on tap ($4), or a shot of Mamaas homemade flavor-infused vodkas, which include ginger, raspberry, and cherry varieties. Kick back and check out the hot, bike-riding barflies and delicately assembled jukebox catalog. Read more about Mama's Bar >>
http://www.mancorarestaurantandbar.com This Peruvian restaurant relocated to the East Village after outgrowing its Brooklyn digs in 2004. Named after a coastal region of northwestern Peru, its menu is filled with seafood like shrimp sautéed in garlic, sweet potato-encrusted red snapper and seven different ceviches featuring everything from salmon to squid. Not everything is from the sea, including meaty dishes like grilled sirloin with chimichurri and Peruvian rotisserie chicken. If you just want to stop in for a Peruvian beer or pisco sour, you can always just order a few tapas at the bar. Also available: margaritas, tropical cocktails and several affordable house wines. The whole place has a lively nautical theme with fishing nets, starfish and an octopus painting contrasting with more subdued design elements like exposed brick walls and flickering tea lights. During brunch, you can get entrees such as grilled steak and eggs or a salmon omelette with a cocktail for under $10.—Keith Wagstaff Read more about Mancora >>
http://www.manitobas.com Despite CBGB's new mantra as a tourist haven, the New York punk scene lives on at Manitoba's, owned by Dick Manitoba, minor rock God and former lead singer for Dictator. If there're no bands thrashing around, the rough-and-tumble jukebox picks up the slack, and the photo collection serves as a tour through punk's history. In these (sniff) post-election days, Manitoba's would be a likely place to ignite a surging anarchy movement. Read more about Manitoba's >>
http://www.mayahuelny.com Tequila and its close cousin mezcal are the focus of this cozy East Village cocktail den. The drinks were concocted by Death & Co. bartender Phillip Ward, so you know they're taken seriously. These aren't your standard margaritas; drinks like the Cinnsation (mezcal, mulled apple cider, cinnamon bark and Peychaud's Bitters) and the Cantinflas (mole bitters, tequila, mezcal, sherry and Grand Marnier) utilize fresh, homemade ingredients as well as top shelf liquor. If you want to get schooled in the ways of quality tequila and mezcal (which is made from the same agave plant as tequila), you can always order them in flights of three, which come with a complimentary sangrita. Soak up all that booze with small plates such as chorizo-stuffed shrimp and scallops or full plates like lobster ceviche and tamales filled with mole-braised chicken. The hacienda speakeasy vibe comes from the colorful Mexican tile, smiling Dia de los Muertos figurines and hidden-away stalls.— Keith Wagstaff Read more about Mayahuel >>

Grand Jury Charges Virginia Woman With Possession With Intent To Distribute 100 Kilos of Marijuana
Rock Island, Ill. – A federal grand jury today returned an indictment charging a Virginia woman who had previously been arrested and charged by criminal complaint in the Central District of Illinois. The indictment charges Tamara Louise Geagley, 26, of Chesapeake, Virginia, with one count of possession with intent to distribute 100 kilograms or more of marijuana on June 13, 2009, in Henry County, Illinois.
According to the affidavit filed in support of the criminal complaint, Geagley was stopped by Illinois State Police for a traffic violation on June 13, 2009, as she was driving a truck and trailer westbound on Interstate 80 in Henry County, Illinois. As a result of an alert by a State Police K-9, the trailer was searched and approximately 300 pounds of marijuana was seized from the trailer.
Geagley was arrested on June 13, 2009. She appeared before U.S. District Judge Michael M. Mihm on June 18, 2009, and was released on bond. If convicted, Geagley faces statutory penalties of five years to 40 years in prison and up to $2,000,000 in fines.
In a related case, two defendants, Melissa Giove, 37, of Chesapeake, Virginia, and Eric Canori, 30, of Wilton, New York, have been charged by complaint in the Northern District of New York with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute more than 100 kilograms of marijuana.
The charges are the result of an investigation by Illinois State Police; the Quad City Metropolitan Enforcement Group; New York State Police; the Capital District Drug Enforcement Task Force, Albany, New York; and divisions of the Drug Enforcement Administration in Rock Island, Illinois; Albany, New York; and Norfolk, Virginia. With the cooperation of the Henry County, Illinois State's Attorney's Office and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of New York, the charge against Geagley is being prosecuted in the Central District of Illinois by Assistant U.S. Attorney John K. Mehochko.
Members of the public are reminded that an indictment is merely an accusation; the defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.

The course shows how to use Git, the popular open-source version control software, to manage changes to source code and text files. Using a step-by-step approach, author Kevin Skoglund presents the commands that enable efficient code management and reveals the fundamental concepts behind version control systems and the Git architecture. Discover how to track changes to files in a repository, review previous edits, and compare versions of a file; create branches to test new ideas without altering the main project; and merge those changes into the project if they work out. The course begins by demonstrating version control in a single-user, standalone context, before exploring how remote repositories allow users to collaborate on projects effectively.
In this movie, we are going to learn how to delete a remote branch. Essentially, what we are going to do is be able to tell GitHub that it should erase one of the branches in its repo. First, let's decide what branch we want to get rid off. You can see that I am inside my lynda_version folder on the master branch, if I do git branch -a, you can see that I have got this non_tracking branch locally, and I have also got non_tracking up on the remote repository. That's the one that I want to tell GitHub to delete. There are two ways that we can do this. First, I want to show you the older and less intuitive way, then I will show you a newer one after that.
The first way is to use git push and just like we did before when we are using git push, we push to the remote, and when we did it before, we did it like this, we said, push the contents of non_tracking up it the server. In order to delete it, you put a colon in front of it. Git push origin, and a :non_ tracking will have the effect of deleting the branch on the remote server. Let's try it. So it wants my username, my password, it comes up, and it says that it deleted it, and now if we say git branch -r, you can see that it's gone, and if we go to GitHub, if you have Firefox, reload the page, and sure enough under Branches, you can see that we only have a master branch now.
Now notice that if I do git branch for my local branches, it's still here. All I did was a push up to origin, I didn't do anything to my local branches, so I still have all that information. Why this awkward non-intuitive way of doing it? What's the colon all about? Let me give you some insight into that. When we did our original push of the branch up to origin, we did it like this, git push origin/non_tracking. That's actually shorthand for git push origin non_tracking:non_tracking.
What this is saying is push to origin my local branch non_tracking, to the remote branch called non_tracking. That's what it's doing. When we only have one, it assumes that they are the same, which they often are. But this colon divides those two. So when we are doing a delete, what you are actually doing is saying, push to origin nothing up to the branch non_tracking. So that's why that colon is there. That's where it comes from. But that's not very intuitive.
Let me show you the newer way, this is a little easier to remember. First, let's push that branch back up there again, remember it is going to push my local branch non-tracking up to the remote repository, so there it is now, git branch -r, you can see it's there. Now let's do another delete, git push origin again, but this time it's --delete and then non_tracking. It requires a little more typing, but it is a little easier to remember, a little more intuitive. So now we hit Return.
It's going to want me to log in again, and once again, it's deleted it. So there it is now it's gone. So that's all there is to being able to delete a remote branch.

A large portion of the moon's surface may be covered with water. That is the surprising finding of a trio of spacecraft that have turned up evidence of trace amounts of the substance in the lunar soil.
Many scientists suspect water ice might lurk in permanently shadowed craters at the moon's poles, which play host to some of the coldest known regions in the solar system.
But new findings suggest that a small amount of water clings to lunar soil across the moon's surface. The first detection was made by India's Chandrayaan-1 probe. The spacecraft, which failed in August after less than 10 months in orbit, was the first lunar orbiter to carry an instrument capable of measuring how much light is absorbed by water-bearing minerals.
"There's nothing else it could be," says Carle Pieters of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, leader of the Chandrayaan-1 instrument team that made the detection.
Chandrayaan-1 found hints of water across the lunar surface when it measured a dip in reflected sunlight at a wavelength absorbed only by water and hydroxyl, a molecule that contains one atom of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.
But the team was not convinced they had found water. "We spent literally months digging up anything we could find that could possibly explain this feature, simply because we didn't think it was there on the surface," Pieters says.
To help verify the signature, team members turned to data collected by NASA's Cassini probe, which buzzed the moon in 1999 on its way to Saturn, and NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft, which flew past the moon in June 2009 en route to an encounter with the comet Hartley 2. Both spacecraft also showed evidence of water and hydroxyl, molecules that are likely both present on the moon.
But seemingly not in great quantities. Harvesting water from a baseball-field-sized swathe of soil might field "a nice glass of water", Pieters told New Scientist. Nonetheless, it might provide a resource for future lunar explorers.
Finding water on the surface changes the bone-dry picture of the moon that had been built up since the days of the Apollo missions. "If you had told anybody three weeks ago that there was even a minuscule amount of water on the moon, they would have laughed at you," says Jennifer Sunshine of the University of Maryland at College Park and the deputy principal investigator for Deep Impact's extended mission.
Chandrayaan-1's measurements suggest that the water sits in the upper few millimetres of the lunar surface. As a result, Pieters and colleagues favour a scenario in which the water is created when hydrogen atoms carried by the solar wind slam into oxygen-rich materials in the lunar surface, combining to form hydroxyl and water.
"It's a fascinating and interesting and useful result," says Paul Spudis of the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas. "Basically it's opened up a whole new field of study ... that has a whole lot more questions than answers."
There is also evidence to suggest the water might be on the move. Deep Impact's observations suggest water might be more prevalent during the colder parts of the month-long lunar day, near sunrise and sunset. That indicates the water might be actively created and destroyed, or else may be migrating as sunlight heats it enough to release it from the minerals it was originally stuck to.

He used this experience to co-create the hybrid martial art Zen Do Kai with fellow security guard Bob Jones. He has a 5th-degree Shihan rank Black Belt in Goju Ryu, 5th-degree Masters rank in Chun Kuk Do (Chuck Norris system), 4th-degree Black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and an 8th-degree Black Belt in Zen Do Kai Karate. He has trained extensively with such Martial Arts legends as Tino Ceberano, Tadashi Yamashita, Fumio Demura, Bill 'Superfoot' Wallace, Pete "Sugar Foot" Cunningham, the Machado brothers and Chuck Norris.
Norton is in constant demand for seminars all over the world, covering such topics as street defense, martial arts weapons drills, Brazilian jiu-jitsu and mixed martial arts. His 15 years experience as a Personal Body Guard for some of Rock and Roll's greats finds Richard in particular demand for teaching the realities of real life street defense, focusing on aspects such as adrenal dump, stress control and pre-emptive strikes.
In Sept 2007, Norton released a two-disc DVD set on Black Belt Digital Video called 'Black Belt training Complexes'. The DVDs show Norton executing some very fast and accurate examples of his skill, and some additional seminar footage is also included. The 3 plus hours of training drills and information focus on the development of explosive speed, power and continuity of movement, with in depth explanation of the various principles one needs to understand to develop incredible speed, regardless of their particular style or discipline.
Norton became the fight coordinator on Walker, Texas Ranger in 1993.[7]

Keep it up with your weight loss goals thanks to Food Photo Diary
The main cause of failing at diet plans is forgetting about keep it up. DTec's Food Photo Diary is going to help you keep track of what you eat, when you eat it and your weight loss progresses.
The app is really simple, not to disturb you with dozens of inputs everyday. Actually, Food Photo Diary is a log with reminders. At first launch you can set you current weight and your goal weight and then start setting reminders. You can set reminders for weight control time, breakfast time, lunch time and dinner time. Those reminders and notifications are highly personalizable from "Settings".
In addition, you can add second breakfast, lunch and dinner in case you need it. You can take photos of your dishes. That may sound silly but it's not. Not at all. That way you can review what you ate those weeks you lost more weight than usual. Cool, isn't?
Start tracking. Get on the track of success.Developer's original description available here
Want to lose weight, exercise regularly and eat (and take medicines) a timely manner, but always forget about it because of the crazy pace of modern life? Install "Food Photo Diary" App, configure it in just 1 minute and do your own business. The app takes care of the rest.
- track the daily changes of your weight directly in the app
- keep photos of your food
- keep photos of places where you exercise
- (it is important!) do not forget about your daily weight measurements, meals and sports exercises with smart and super easy to use reminders
- set your goal weight and the app won't allow you to forget about it
- analyze results and adjust your diet plan
- after all, do your own business!
As much as 30% of adult population of the world is considered either overweight or obese, and this percentage has increased over 60% in USA. Excess weight is not only dangerous (overweight and obesity are leading risks for global deaths). Excess weight is also unpleasant: low self-esteem… depressions… inability to wear clothes you like!
Scientists believe that the fundamental cause of obesity and overweight is an energy imbalance between calories consumed and calories expended. In other words, usually people have excess weight because they eat too much high-calorie food and simultaneously train not enough.
What does prevent people from doing sports and eating properly? Even if it sounds corny, the main reason is the crazy pace of life of modern people.
Usually people are aware of what is written above, and many people attempt to lose their weight and create their own diet plan. However, modern person has many other problems besides excess weight. After a while these other problems attract the person's attention so much that he or she forgets about the need to struggle against excess weight.
"Food Photo Diary" App periodically remind you about your weight measurements, meals and sports exercises. After some time with "Food Photo Diary" App you get used to do the operations described above on time. The app tracks your weight, keeps photos of your meals (and your medicines) and photos of places where you were exercising. Analytics tools built into the app allows you to understand the causes which led to changes of your weight. You can analyze collected data and adjust your diet plan if necessary.
"Food Photo Diary" App is smart, minimalist and comfortable. The app will not distract you from your daily routine. And most important: "Food Photo Diary" App is created not just for taking photos of you meals, but for developing your healthy eating habits.
How to interact with the app: (typical scenario)
- install the app on your device and launch it
- just after launch: specify the time when you want to have meals, measure weight and exercise, specify your current weight
- close the app and do your own business
- at the appropriate time the app will notify you of the need to measure your weight, have meal or exercise
- measure your weight and save your progress in the app; take picture of your meal; take picture place where you exercise; add additional text notices if necessary
- after some time the app will collect tons of data about changes of your weight and causes which led to it
- analyze collected data and adjust your diet plan (in app settings) if necessary
- achieve success with discipline developed by "Food Photo Diary" App!

This app is almost perfect for me I just wish I could share my photos with certain people for support. Like maybe password protected link to a website?
One picture is worth a thousand words. Excellent for tracking meals, exercise, progression of weight loss and goal weight. Wonderful tool.

In this study, the influence of hardness (H) and spindle speed (N) on surface roughness (Ra) in hard turning operation of AISI 4140 using CBN cutting tool has been studied. A multiple regression analysis using analysis of variance is conducted to determine the performance of experimental values and to show the effect of hardness and spindle speed on the surface roughness. Artificial neural network (ANN) and regression methods have been used for modelling of surface roughness in hard turning operation of AISI 4140 using CBN cutting tool. The input parameters are selected to be as hardness and spindle speed and the output is the surface roughness. Regression and artificial neural network optimum models have been presented for predicting surface roughness. The predicted surface roughness by the employed models has been compared with the experimental data which shows the preference of ANN in prediction of surface roughness during hard turning operation. Finally, a reverse ANN model is constructed to estimate the hardness and spindle speed from surface roughness values. The results indicate that the reverse ANN model can predict hardness for the train data and spindle speed for the test data with a good accuracy but the predicted spindle speed for the train data and the predicted hardness for the test data don't have acceptable accuracy.

My toddler hates having her diaper changed. Help!
Our 16-month-old suddenly hates diaper changes! The second we put her on her back, she starts crying, and then either rolls over on her stomach or stands up. We've gotten pretty good at changing wet diapers while she's standing, but for messy diapers, there's no way! Any suggestions?

A happy toddler is a distracted toddler. Try a small toy or tiny board book. It works for my 21 month old who does that. He started around 15 months too. It also helps when he gets into something he should not because they don't really understand a lot of things yet. I'm stern with my toddler, but I know now what his attention span is like and what he gets and doesn't get. also worked in a daycare for seven years before I got pregnant. Loved the toddler room! This worked for me then, and it works for me now. Just make sure its a small toy that can be easily cleaned. Like a rubber ducky or something.posted 09/28/2013 by niagara_writer
My baby cousin is starting to do that too, so his Mom has just decided to start potty training him. He wants to go potty anyways with his older brother, who's 3. So, she's ganna use him to set the example. It also helps that his Dad and other brother can show him as well, like they did with the 3 year old.posted 09/27/2013 by kthairfield
My daughter is only 10 1/2 months old but this has already became an issue. When she sees me grab the wipes and diaper she starts to run away from me so I've got to grab her up and give her something she likes to hold to occupy her. If that doesn't work well I just got to keep her held down and change her diaper fast as possible! ;)posted 09/27/2013 by mia an babies mommy
Its just a developmental stage that will pass. She feels like she is not in charge while lying on her back therefore she's fighting to be in a different position. It will pass soon until then distraction is the key.posted 09/23/2013 by 3LilPpl
I have different stuffed animals, dolls, characters change my 2 year old's diapers. She likes when Cowgirl Jessie or Olivia changes her diaper.

im glad im not alone having this dilemma! my 13 months old is same, doesnt want to be change, before this she was ok playing her wipes, or her fave toys etc... but recently she´s freaking me out every nappy time.., but now im relieved to know that this is normal stage. As of now i let her stand and hurriedly put on her nappy!posted 08/16/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
For the dirty diaper I just put my son in a bathtub and wash him. No wet wipes needed!posted 08/12/2013 by busiavka
My sons developmental therapist told me that the problem could be that he doesnt like to lay all the way back..like he could possibly be feeling vertigo or similar things when he lays flat on his back. She told me to try to put a pillow behind him when I change him. It helps most times, but sometimes he is just totally not in the mood for me to be interrupting his playtime!posted 08/10/2013 by izzy4ever04

Property Details
Condo, 3 Bedrooms, 3 Baths, Sleeps 6 - 7
We're very proud of our condo and hope your vacation experience will be fit for a King!
Our two story third floor property has been tastefully renovated and furnished. The condo has wood floors throughout the living area, granite kitchen countertops and new appliances. There are three California King beds to provide ample space for guests of any size and the second floor suite with its own bath, TV, office area and two fans gives a larger group plenty of space to spread out. High speed wireless internet, cable TV and Hawaiian music on the stereo are standard as well.
There are eight large overhead fans to keep you cool on the warmest afternoons and the area is designed for good airflow with vaulted ceilings throughout. Of course, the lanai will provide the "coolest" area of all and has electric screens to block the indirect afternoon sun as well as an overhead fan.
We've also equipped the condo with everything you need for a great time including a full, well equipped kitchen, refrigerator with an automatic ice maker, dishwasher, tennis gear, snorkel equipment, beach chairs, boogie boards and shore fishing gear.
If you'd like some help with what to do in the area, we'd be happy to provide a list of our favorite things to do on the Big Island.
Lying on the ocean side of Alii Drive, the KKSRC is a gated complex consisting of oceanfront, fairway and garden condominiums. Our unit has a beautiful garden view with a lot of privacy relative to many others in the area. All units have oceanfront access providing an opportunity to stroll along the coast, fish or watch beautiful sunsets just 150 steps from the unit. The shoreline also provides good elevation to watch the whales on their annual visit to the islands during the winter months.
Although much of the waterfront is lava, there is easy walking access to a sand beach with tide pools just north of the resort area and the reef just off shore provides good shore fishing opportunities as well. The resort is directly on the ocean and as all shoreline in Hawaii is public you will have the same access to the beach and shoreline as those renting "oceanfront" units so you'll feel free to walk anywhere on the grounds or the adjacent properties to the north where an archeological project is taking place.
At the center of the resort complex are three lighted tennis courts, a large pool and a covered pavilion while 3 common grilling areas are provided around the grounds. The tennis courts are guest-managed on a first come first served basis and basic tennis equipment is available in the unit. We've rarely seen all three courts in use at the same time and night tennis is both cooler (temperature) and cooler (more fun). Adjacent to the tennis courts is a large L-shaped pool with one leg of the L built for small children and the other for swimming. Showers and restrooms are available poolside.
For golfers, the complex is perfectly situated between the ocean and the Kona Country Club, famous for 36 holes of championship golf winding between the ocean and nearby mountains.
Keauhou rests peacefully at the southern end of Alii Drive. In Hawaiian, Alii means King or Chief, and for centuries this area was home to native Hawaiian kings seeking peace, beauty and respite. Alii Drive is the focus for activity in Kailua, just 5 miles north, but the action gets more relaxed as you work your way to the south end. Less than a mile away is King Kamehameha III Ave, a road that links Alii Drive to the mountain highway, allowing you quick access to your best routes either south or north along the Kona coast.
Within two miles of the KKSRC, you can find an amazing number of things to do. In addition to golf, off-site to the north, you can snorkel, swim, take a surfing lesson, kayak or just lay on the beach at the famous Kahalu'u Beach Park. It is known as one of the best and most protected snorkeling areas on the island and it's less than a mile from KKSRC. Continuing north along Alii, there are a number of beach parks, each with its own unique features.
Going south, peaceful Keauhou Bay has a wonderful swimming and picnic area in addition to the local canoe club headquarters. There are only a few fishing charters that work out of this bay and we can help you make a contact with them if you're interested in going after the big ones. Beyond the bay is a sacred Hawaiian area that is barren except for a foot trail that you can walk. You'll see hand-built rock walls dating back more than 100 years and the occasional offering…right alongside a rock climber or cliff diver.
Finally, within walking distance, the Keauhou Shopping Center provides a great place to pick up your groceries, locally caught fish, sunscreen, beer and the flip-flops you left at home. There is also a movie theatre and a number of excellent restaurants. There is even a farmers market on Sunday with live music and many local products for sale.
Beyond the two-mile radius, the Kona coast offers a tremendous diversity of things to do. You might visit a Kona Coffee Farm, take a short tour and taste coffee made from peaberry, snorkel at the location where Captain Cook died in 1779, hike the mountains and shoreline along marked (and unmarked) trails, run on Alii drive (there are markers at each HALF mile), shore fish or charter a boat to catch a fish potentially larger than your rental car, walk to (nearly) deserted beaches, or sample the nightlife in Kailua town.

Beautiful Condo in a Great Location
The location was ideal. We snorkeled with sea turtles at a spot within walking distance of the condo. It was just a quick and beautiful drive to Kona for dining/shopping or a little further north for some other great beaches.
On our next trip to the Big Island, we will definitely be staying at King's Condo! We highly recommend it!
About the Owner

Family Fun
The condo was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. When I booked this in November, I was a little worried about no a/c. My worries were unfounded. The design of the condo provides for plenty of air flow and the condo stayed very comfortable. The dealings with the owners was top notch and very timely. We would stay here again if we are fortunate enough to return to the big island.
We will be back soon! Thank you Bob and Judy!
Terrie,Kevin and Ally McNulty; Davies and Patersons also!
excellent home away from home!
Best condo experience ever!
We especially enjoyed the use of snorkeling gear, boogie boards, beach chairs and umbrellas, the assortment of reef shoes and plenty of beach towels. We are an active bunch and used all those items plus the tennis rackets and ample supply of tennis balls, all stored for our use on the lanai. I think the only thing we didn't use was the fishing equipment. Maybe next time. We probably saved the equivalent of one night's condo rental on excess baggage fees, not having to bring all our own stuff. There was even a good quality hair dryer in each bathroom, music cd's, video tapes and dvd's and quite a number of books to read.
The kitchen was well equipped for serious cooking with quality implements and appliances and, again, we used most of them. With plenty of cookware and table service, running the large capacity dishwasher once daily easily handled what the seven of us used.
The owners were a pleasure to deal with and the resort staff were friendly and accommodating. We will make every effort to secure this condo on all future trips to the Big Island.
Wow! We could not have asked for a better place to stay! This a real gem.
From the Owner
"We have vacationed on the Big Island of Hawaii for many years and had been especially happy when we stayed in Keauhou. We decided to make it our permanent vacation destination and share it with you. We live in Minnesota and particularly enjoy the 110 degree temperature difference between Keauhou and St. Paul in January."

Information and communications technology or information and communication technology, usually called ICT, is often used as an extended synonym for information technology (IT), but is usually a more general term that stresses the role of unified communications and the integration of telecommunications (telephone lines and wireless signals), intelligent building management systems and audio-visual systems in modern information technology. ICT consists of all technical means used to handle information and aid communication, including computer and network hardware, communication middleware as well as necessary software. In other words, ICT consists of IT as well as telephony, broadcast media, all types of audio and video processing and transmission and network based control and monitoring functions. The expression was first used in 1997 in a report by Dennis Stevenson to the UK government and promoted by the new National Curriculum documents for the UK in 2000.
