- " Good design and cozy environment. Things are still quite new and facilities is good too. "
- 07 Jun 2015 Darius Kwan Leong Canada
- " First of all, if you arrive at night, you hardly can find this hostel, because there are no signs! there is only a small piece of paper on the wall with its name, that you cant almost see. After, there are pictures that they don't show on website, for example the one of the WC tha they call 'the old one'. If it was only old, it would be great. But it was completely durty and disgusting. "

- " Perfection, thank you! "

- " Nice location and staff "

- " The hostel is in the Old Town, beautiful location! It is actually an old apartment converted into a hostel. Place is a clean but the "old" side of it makes you sometimes doubt but honestly, neat! Staff is very nice and friendly, will help you if needed. Dorms are cosy and don't have that "warehouse" feeling. Free coffee and tea included :). Look for the RED door as the sign is VERY small (more like a sticker on that said door). "

- " I have to say I was a bit disappointed. the reviews were really nice, so my expectation was high, but the kitchen and toilets were rather small and dirty. in the toilet, you can easily hear somebody´s toilet noise...but the staff was really nice and helpful. also location was good. If you don´t care about cleanness and facilities, then I guess it´s all right. "
- 10 Sep 2014 Anonymous Japan
- " The location of the hostel is brilliant. You re direcly in the beautiful old town of Tallinn, so that it s easy and convenient to explore this wonderful town. The atmosphere is good, the staff is friendly and helpful. There is a common room, where the visitors meet each other. I really enjoyed this. The point is that the facilities (toilets) are a bit shabby. But I mean, I paid about nine euro for a night in a 4 bed room, what will you expact? But overall, it was totally ok! "
- 03 Sep 2014 Artur Germany
- " Definitely a great value hostel. "
- 12 Jul 2014 Anonymous Portugal
- " This hostel is a great location, and a good place if you need an inexpensive place to stay. The beds were comfortable enough and the showers good. The downsides were cramped dorms, the club downstairs (bring earplugs if you want to sleep at all), and a pretty run-down feel about the place, even for Old Town standards. If you're looking for a fun hostel atmosphere, I wouldn't recommend this hostel. However, if you need an inexpensive place to sleep, shower, and do a little laundry, it's good. "

Individuals Get the Most Optimistic in a Year
- Posted by JC Parets
- on July 12th, 2013
Investor sentiment is definitely something we think is important to monitor. But because of the week-to-week noise that is associated with some of these polls, it's not anything we're going to make portfolio-altering decisions from it too often. But when bulls or bears hit certain extremes that are seen less frequently, it stands out to us.
Today I wanted to point to the fact that right now nearly 3 out of every 4 investors are expecting stocks to rally over the next 6 months. This according to the latest survey of individual investors from AAII. The chart below comes from Sentiment Trader and shows the last several times that the Bull ratio was above 70%:
We've seen bulls hit extremes like this in the past. A lot of times the market consolidates either through price or time in the short-term. But historically these particular levels of optimism haven't necessarily been a negative signal over the long-term. I thought that was interesting.

Patrick's Photos
This is a family photo of Robert Best Junior. He was the son of Robert Best Senior, who was a brother to Joseph Best from Eldorado, Ontario, Canada.
This is a picture of Howse River, which was named in honour of Joseph Howse, the fur trader, by David Thompson. Joseph was one of the first employee's of the Hudson's Bay Company in Canada. He came from Cirencester, England and became the patriarch of a very large family of Howse's. Howse River empties into the North Saskatchewan River just north of Banff, Alberta.

This picture of Jane was taken about the time of her husband, Samuel Livingston's death, in 1897 in Calgary, Alberta. She was the grand-daughter of Joseph Howse, the fur trader and one of the first employee's of the Hudson's Bay Company in Canada.
From Left to Right: Dollie Thompson-Howard Alice Catherine Pomeroy-Howard Fernando James Howard Alice Mamie Howard
This picture was taken with most of the Howard Clan in it. It was taken about 1915 after Fernando Howard and Alice Catherine Pomeroy-Howard immigrated to Canada from the USA to become homesteaders in North Saskatchewan with their own family.
This was taken after these Howards moved from the USA to Canada in 1905 to become some of the original homesteaders of Saskatchewan.
This pass was named in the honour of Joseph Howse, the fur trader by David Thompson. It is located just north of Banff, Alberta and was the first pass connection from Alberta to the west.
This is a family photo taken at the Bert Howard Farm which was his homestead in Saskatchewan.

Social.com can manage social ad campaigns on Facebook and Twitter using real-time customer and social conversation data.
For Salesforce, the Toyota partnership highlights how the company could use Saleforce Chatter to offer private label networks.
In a nine-year deal, the Salesforce.com and Oracle clouds -- including applications, platform, and infrastructure -- will be integrated.
Benioff: "Are you and your company going through a social revolution? It will denote who is successful and who will fail."
Which, of course, doesn't mean that CEO Marc Benioff wouldn't like to make life miserable for his rivals like Box and Asana.
The $689 million acquisition of the social media marketing platform is expected to bolster Salesforce's Marketing Cloud effort.
The business software-as-a-service distributor announces the test version of its Chatter platform, a socially oriented enterprise collaboration platform.
The company says that the transaction will be completed in the fiscal third quarter ended October 31, and will include both cash and Salesforce equity.
While the details of the Service Cloud seem a bit fuzzy, the main pitch here is that Salesforce.com is trying to link up social networking and customer service.
The mission will be to build new areas beyond CRM. Of course, Salesforce.com would be a fine subsidiary of an enterprise software giant like SAP or Oracle.

Article: Comparison of five methods for the derivation of spectra for a constant potential dental X-ray unit[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To compare the diagnostic X-ray spectra derived by different methods for a constant potential dental X-ray unit. Five methods of deriving X-ray spectra for a constant potential dental X-ray unit were compared: measurement by spectrometer using cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT) detector, calculation by Monte Carlo simulation, calculation by two different, semi-empirical methods and estimation from transmission data. The dental X-ray set was a Heliodent MD unit (Sirona, Charlotte, NC, USA) operable at 60 or 70 kV. A semiconductor detector was used in the spectrometer measurements and an ionization chamber dosimeter in the transmission measurements. From the five methods, photon-fluence spectra were derived. Based on the photon-fluence spectra, average energies and transmission curves in aluminum were calculated. For all five methods, the average energies were within 2.4% of one another. Comparison of the transmission curves showed an average difference in the range of 1 to 6%. All of the five methods of deriving spectra are in extremely good agreement with each other.Dentomaxillofacial Radiology 10/2001; 30(5):264-9. DOI:10.1038/sj/dmfr/4600629 · 1.27 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The MCNP Monte Carlo radiation transport code was modified for diagnostic medical physics applications. In particular, the modified code was thoroughly benchmarked for the production of polychromatic tungsten x-ray spectra in the 30-150 kV range. Validating the modified code for coupled electron-photon transport with benchmark spectra was supplemented with independent electron-only and photon-only transport benchmarks. Major revisions to the code included the proper treatment of characteristic K x-ray production and scoring, new impact ionization cross sections, and new bremsstrahlung cross sections. Minor revisions included updated photon cross sections, electron-electron bremsstrahlung production, and K x-ray yield. The modified MCNP code is benchmarked to electron backscatter factors, x-ray spectra production, and primary and scatter photon transport.Medical Physics 01/2001; 27(12):2680-7.

Article: Measurement and validation of benchmark-quality thick-target tungsten X-ray spectra below 150 kVp.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Pulse-height distributions of two constant potential X-ray tubes with fixed anode tungsten targets were measured and unfolded. The measurements employed quantitative alignment of the beam, the use of two different semiconductor detectors (high-purity germanium and cadmium-zinc-telluride), two different ion chamber systems with beam-specific calibration factors, and various filter and tube potential combinations. Monte Carlo response matrices were generated for each detector for unfolding the pulse-height distributions into spectra incident on the detectors. These response matrices were validated for the low error bars assigned to the data. A significant aspect of the validation of spectra, and a detailed characterization of the X-ray tubes, involved measuring filtered and unfiltered beams at multiple tube potentials (30-150 kVp). Full corrections to ion chamber readings were employed to convert normalized fluence spectra into absolute fluence spectra. The characterization of fixed anode pitting and its dominance over exit window plating and/or detector dead layer was determined. An Appendix of tabulated benchmark spectra with assigned error ranges was developed for future reference.Radiation Research 12/2000; 154(5):564-81.

Article: Using measured 30-150 kVp polychromatic tungsten x-ray spectra to determine ion chamber calibration factors, Nx (Gy C(-1)).[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Two methods for determining ion chamber calibration factors (Nx) are presented for polychromatic tungsten x-ray beams whose spectra differ from beams with known Nx. Both methods take advantage of known x-ray fluence and kerma spectral distributions. In the first method, the x-ray tube potential is unchanged and spectra of differing filtration are measured. A primary standard ion chamber with known Nx for one beam is used to calculate the x-ray fluence spectrum of a second beam. Accurate air energy absorption coefficients are applied to the x-ray fluence spectra of the second beam to calculate actual air kerma and Nx. In the second method, two beams of differing tube potential and filtration with known Nx are used to bracket a beam of unknown Nx. A heuristically derived Nx interpolation scheme based on spectral characteristics of all three beams is described. Both methods are validated. Both methods improve accuracy over the current half value layer Nx estimating technique.Health Physics 11/2000; 79(4):402-6. · 0.77 Impact Factor

The Dictator Movie Quotes
'The Dictator' movie quotes include some of the best lines in this 2012 comedy film, which stars Sacha Baron Cohen as Admiral General Aladeen, dictator of the fictitious, rogue North African country the Republic of Wadiya. Unlike Cohen's previous mockumentary movies, 'Borat' and 'Bruno,' 'The Dictator' includes an all-star cast. Many of the funniest, most memorable lines from 'The Dictator' feature Cohen, not surprisingly. See a favorite quote from 'The Dictator' movie listed? Vote it up! And, if you know of a great 'Dictator' film quote that isn't on this list, definitely add it.
'The Dictator' was co-written by, and stars, Sacha Baron Cohen. The film is directed by Larry Charles, who also directed 'Borat' and 'Bruno.' 'The Dictator' cast includes Anna Faris, Ben Kingsley, John C. Reilly, Megan Fox, J.B. Smoove and Bobby Lee, among others. 'The Dictator' is said to be loosely based on a romance novel written by former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein ('Zabibah and the King'), and Cohen's Admiral General Aladeen might also be based (loosely, there's that term again) on former Libyan ruler Muammar Gaddafi.
Interested in more great quotes from popular movies? Check out these lists for the best lines from 'The Three Stooges,' 'Dark Shadows,' 'The Avengers,' 'American Reunion,' 'The Cabin in the Woods,' 'Goon,'
'Bernie,' 'The Five-Year Engagement,' 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel,' '30 Minutes or Less,' 'Young Adult,' and 'Damsels in Distress.'

Monkey on Roller Skates«»+ 44- 11
Admiral General Aladeen: "I love it when women go to school. It's like seeing a monkey on roller skates -- it means nothing to them, but it's so adorable for us..."
When Aladeen tries to get into the United Nations to deliver his speech, he can't. The hotel manager's made sure that no one, including security, will recognize him. After Aladeen gets sprayed by security, Anna Faris' character picks him up and offers him a job. How long will THAT last?l< << PREV 1 of 9 NEXT >>

Jacob Markstrom of the Florida Panthers had a night he'd rather forget, quickly. He got the start in goal for Florida and gave up two goals in the first 3:10 of the Panthers' game against Washington. Markstrom saw two shots. Two shots that go into the net quickly lead to a super-fast benching and a goals against average that sounds like a pants size. Washington scored on four of its first eight shots in the first 8:10 of the game and crushed Florida 7-1. SPIN: Well, the Panthers goaltenders have found a way to go from bad to worse to unbelievable. Skip the bench and waive them unless you are in a super-deep league. Ten different Capitals had at least a point in this field day of a game and Washington had seven different goal scorers. Alex Ovechkin, Mike Ribeiro and Wojtek Wolski each had a goal and two assists to pace the Capitals. Washington is hot as they've won 8 of their last 11 games. Boston doubled up Toronto 4-2 behind a pair of Tyler Seguin goals. Patrice Bergeron had a goal...

Microsoft NZ and NetSafe warn computer users about a rise in cold calling scammers
Posted on 5-Jun-2014 09:03.
Filed under:
Microsoft New Zealand and NetSafe are today issuing a warning to home computer users to be alert to a new wave of cold-calling technicians targeting New Zealanders with phone calls about viruses on their computers.
Although the scam has been operating for almost four years, NetSafe's Digital Project Manager Chris Hails said Fraud Awareness Week was the perfect opportunity to remind Kiwis of this popular scam.
"NetSafe received 50 reports from people around the country who had been called during May by a variety of companies, many of them claiming to be associated with Microsoft or Microsoft-certified," said Hails.
"We know many Kiwis are wise to this scam and simply hang up. However, five individuals who contacted us in May believed the callers were genuine and ended up paying out between $120 and $470 after giving remote access to their computers and feeling concerned about what they were shown onscreen."
Russell Craig, Microsoft NZ's National Technology Officer, says that Microsoft has been making continual efforts over the past few years to alert people to this particular scam via public announcements and through its social media channels.
"To be absolutely clear, we do not receive reports of infected computers and then call people at home. If you do receive such a call, you can be sure it is not someone from Microsoft, and should hang up the phone immediately and report it to NetSafe."
Hails says NetSafe first received reports about overseas technical support companies cold calling people at home back in August 2010 and has also consistently warned PC users about the scam.
"Low cost VoIP calling services allow the companies to call thousands of people using automated diallers and many of the companies buy local New Zealand phone numbers to add an air of authenticity to their operation," he says.
"Microsoft has worked hard to alert people to this scam," said Hails. "We hope that along with their effort, Fraud Awareness Week will encourage more people to do the same and alert friends and family members to this issue so that such scams quickly become a thing of the past.
Hallmarks of the PC doctor scam:
- Overseas caller states they are from Microsoft or a Microsoft certified technician.
- Suggests the victim's computer is infected and harming others online or that their ISP has identified their system as a problem.
- Will get the computer owner to give the caller remote access using a genuine networking service or website like logmein123 or teamviewer.
- They will use the 'Event Viewer' tool on the computer to highlight error messages which are supposedly signs of an infection.
- The cold caller will offer to clean up the infection and/or install security software and provide an ongoing support service costing anywhere up to $500.
How to deal with the overseas cold callers:
- Hang up the phone - engaging with or taunting these companies can lead to you receiving many more calls at all times of the day or night. Some technicians have resorted to threats or abuse to get computer owners to give remote access.
- If you do give access but become suspicious, disconnect the machine from the internet immediately. NetSafe has received some reports of these cold calling companies installing ransomware on the computer to ensure they get paid to unlock the PC.
- If you have previously given remote access, it may pay to check what has been installed on your computer and be certain there is no way for the company to continue accessing your system and files. Consult a trusted local PC technician if unsure.
- If you have paid money to these companies using a credit card, call your bank and discuss your options. If you sent funds via Western Union or another wire transfer service then the money is gone and cannot be recovered.

Does Fascial Research Alter Assessment?
By Whitney Lowe, LMT
Tom Myers recently wrote an article highlighting some outstanding research published by the Dutch osteopath and anatomist Jaap van der Wal. I was intrigued by the concepts Myers highlighted in this article and looked for more of van der Wal's publications.
In addition to his previous papers on the subject of fascia, van der Wal also published a paper in the International Journal of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork in 2009 that explores these anatomical concepts in great detail.
It is interesting to note that van der Wal wrote of these very important findings almost 20 years ago, but did not find acceptance of those ideas within the traditional scientific publishing community until recently.
The essence of van der Wal's research points out that dissection and anatomical science has for centuries focused on a very reductionistic and mechanistic view of the musculoskeletal system. However, he suggests it is a much more complicated and intricately woven web.
In his dissection studies, van der Wal demonstrates that ligaments are not discrete structures separated from muscle and fascial connective tissue. His research shows that at least some ligaments around the body's joints are actually connected in series with muscular tissues - meaning that muscles have fascial connections with ligaments and thus may not act independently.
Does this information impact our practice?
For years the dominant model of orthopedic assessment has been the foundation of James Cyriax's model of contractile and non-contractile (inert) tissues. Contractile tissues included muscle and its associated tendon, because the tendon was strongly pulled once the muscle contracted. Inert tissues were all the soft tissues other than muscle and tendon. They are called inert because they don't actively contract and they are only passively lengthened or shortened during motions of the joints.
Clinicians used this structural format to establish a systematic process of evaluating soft-tissue dysfunction. The central point of this evaluation method is that certain evaluation procedures produce pain or discomfort if a contractile tissue is at fault, while other methods produce pain if an inert tissue is at fault.
As an organizational system it makes very good sense and works quite well in the evaluation process. But there are times when the pattern of pain or discomfort does not seem to fit this classical formula. That leaves the clinician to discover and interpret what the anomaly means. Now, we may have an explanation that helps unravel some of these inconsistencies.
If there are direct fascial connections that tie ligaments and muscles together in series, then ligaments will have tensile loads applied to them when muscles contract. Traditionally, we have said that a manual resistive test applied to a particular joint motion isolates the muscle-tendon tissues, but not the inert tissues. The muscle-tendon tissues are engaged in a contraction generating a tensile load. Because there is no movement at the joint the inert tissues are not stressed at all.
With this new research, that axiom no longer holds true. If muscles have direct serial connection with ligaments, a manual resistive test with no movement could still put a tensile load on a ligament. If that ligament was damaged, pain could ensue. Under the old paradigm one would assume pain during a manual resistive test is only a muscle-tendon injury, but now we see it could be a ligamentous injury. What does this mean?
For the therapist in clinical practice these concepts have tremendous importance in attempting to identify which tissues might be the source of the client's pain. There are very important implications for both assessment and treatment from these exciting research findings.
From the assessment perspective, it means we must consider the possibility of a greater number of tissues causing client pain if muscle contraction or stretch is involved, especially if that pain is localized near a joint. From the treatment perspective, it means we must look at the extensive functional relationships between different tissues and consider how treatment of one type of tissue (muscle for example) may affect the function of another (ligament).
I have always been an advocate of staying current with research findings and looking for innovative ways to apply them to clinical practice. It is exciting because we're constantly learning new things, and these new concepts and ideas help us become ever more effective with the clients who come seeking our help for pain and injury complaints.

Was not the best of hotels I stayed. Rooms are clean but over charging on the little things. Most hotels would at least offer free bottles of water. However, here they charge $5. Service was not prompt as it should. And even though for several days I walked by the same doorman, on my day of check out, he asked me if I was checking-in or out.

Loved the convenience of the hotel. Very nice place!!

Posted Jun 10, 2015
Pros: The location was great.
Cons: NA
The room assigned to me (1006) was very dark. The lights in the room either did not work or they were not properly positioned. Basically, the only place were there was enough light was the bathroom. The toilet ran all the time ( valve does not shut properly), so it was bothering. I honestly did not have time to report it because I had a very busy schedule and did not feel like changing room.

Great rooms, staff, hotel. Business center not used much, but great staff make up for this. Great location if going to Moscone center.

Way too expensive for what it offersPosted Apr 30, 2015
Pros: nothing special actually
Cons: Use bottom floor entirely for bar, move restaurant to 2nd floor, make room, space, air!!! Make it less oppressive. And more gym equipment
Location: This is the business area of SF. If you are not there for business, go somewhere else.
The entrance is tiny to say the least, always easily crowded to the point that is it hard to walk through. The place is super expensive without reason; even their restaurant, has few choices, has a pretense of fancy, it's expensive ($40 for a breakfast, really?) and is really not up to the promise. Overall the only thing that saves it is its location, across the street from the Mosconi center. But there are lots of less expensive yet still very nice hotels a little further.

Last Minute StayPosted Apr 27, 2015
Pros: One of my favorite hotels in SF. I like the layout of the rooms, the toiletries, the location, and the vibe.
I had an easy time checking booking the room due to a last minute situation. When I got to the hotel, the room was already for me. Everything about it was convenient and quick.

I have stayed at the W before and it was a pleasant room and stay, except for a group of young men who stayed in the room next to ours and partied all night. I also left my phone charger in the room, 1706, on Friday morning night, and called about it on Saturday. Someone said they would get back to me, and no one did. I would have appreciated a call back.

ARCH III On View at Second Avenue and East 47th Street Through September
NYC Parks has announced the exhibition ARCH III by renowned artist Elizabeth Strong-Cuevas at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza. The exhibition is on view at Second Avenue and East 47th Street now through September 2014.
Strong-Cuevas' work is influenced by the ancient civilizations of the Egyptians, the Mayans, and the Aztecs. Her sculptures have a presence that conjures impressions of iconic architecture and monuments to gods lost to time. This is evident in the scale of her sculptures, as well as the way she utilizes abstracted faces and lines within the work.
Strong-Cuevas stated: "Art in public spaces has a civilizing affect on a community; it promotes sensitivity and reflection. The installation of art in public spaces is one of my goals, and I am appreciative that NYC Parks has given me an opportunity to make an aesthetic contribution to the city."
Located adjacent to the United Nations, the sculpture reflects the ideals and goals of the organization. ARCH III is a symbolic gateway of peace and cooperation by joining two abstract faces in an eternal circle.
Elizabeth Strong-Cuevas sees heads as metaphors for the spaces they inhabit and the abstract ideas they generate. She studied at the Art Students' League in the 1960s with John Hovannes, who taught her to carve wood and stone. She also modeled in wax. She casts her work at the Polich Tallix Foundry. In the 1970s, she began working in plaster with Toto Meylan. Besides bronze, some of her works have been cast in stainless steel and aluminum. Careful attention is paid to the surface of her sculptures and, according to the medium, some are polished to a gleaming finish, some are brushed, and others are treated with a patina.
NYC Parks' Art in the Parks program has consistently fostered the creation and installation of temporary public art in parks throughout the five boroughs. Since 1967, collaborations with arts organizations and artists have produced hundreds of public art projects in New York City parks. For more information visit www.nyc.gov/parks/art.

This is one of only a few spots in the primary hull which have windows... which is sort of an expectation for a VIP cabin.
Essentially, this is the "admiral's quarters" which Scotty compared basic quarters on the 1701-D to.
That's how I view it. Of course, part of that is because this space is really unsuitable for any other use, due to low headroom. A couch, a big bed... those can go underneath that sloped ceiling, right next to those windows, and it all makes sense, though.

My boyfriend & I went to Catalina Island on May 16, 2015 and the first thing we did after arriving was go on an open-air jeep tour deep into the island. Our tour guide was an awesome man named Greg. During our 1 hour & 30 minute tour, he provided so much information about Catalina Island... including history, current drought...
We stayed at Hamilton Coves during our recent stay on Catalina, which is a few miles outside of Avalon. We were picked up at the ferry terminal by Abel. We shared a van with one of the local high school teachers that was returning from a vacation off-island. Abel drove to her home, which gave us a short tour of...

Thank you so much GREG for making Mother's Day & my birthday a perfect day. We were given a grand tour of the island not many people are lucky enough to enjoy. Greg is pleasant, kind, informative, and really knows the island. If you're looking for an interior tour look no further. You've found it and ask for Greg!
During our recent visit to Catalina Island, the drivers are very knowledgeable and service oriented.
I'm so happy to hear you were pleased with our drivers. We always appreciate positive feedback from our customers.
Taxis expensive, and wasn't informed about the Trolley which makes a loop around the Village as a way to get to the Casino. The bus tours were good, but the one who was an employee of the Santa Catalina Co. was not understandable.
I'm sorry to hear about you not being informed about the trolley system here on the Island. September through June our trolley runs on Saturday; Sunday & Cruise Ship days. During July and August our trolley runs 7 days a week. It is an excellent way to get around the Island at a very low cost. Unfortunately the Santa Catalina...
We arrived in Avalon on the Friday after Christmas.

On Friday night, we noticed signs posted on all the ferry stops saying that "due to unforeseen circumstances", the trolley was not in operation. However, since...
We took a private jeep tour with Theresa for two and a half hours through the island's inner backcountry. She knew so much about the history and present life on Catalina and also found so many places to view bison up close. Theresa is a gem and the tour was a major highlight of our two weeks of touring California!
Catalina Transportation Services The four of us had a personal three hour tour away from Avalon for $115 an hour, $345 total. This was so much better than the bus tours and really not that much more in cost. Theresa was our tour guide and she was fantastic, I would ask for her. Our vehicle options were a jeep (open...
I often mean to write reviews, but sadly, rarely do. When service is this outstanding though, it would be inexcusable.

I know this might be a long shot, but here it goes. I have several active projects and each has sub project library which gets compiled when the main project compiles. These libraries are dynamic ones, but recently there was an issue that might arise a need for those libraries (most of them are shared between projects) to be static instead of dynamic.
Now, I am quite sure someone has devised a system where I could make a library which could be compiled wither as static into the project or dynamic one with something like a simple preprocessor directive or something. If not, I'll pipe dream away.
looks like CMake might be it, however, apart from building stuff I would also like to alleviate __declspec(dllimport) and __declspec(dllexport) from my code - so that I can automatically switch between static and dynamic. Although it is fairly easy to do with preprocessor macros, I thought maybe there might be some form of a system already in use by people?

I am having difficulties in solving a form processing in an AJAX way with Rails. I am going to try to explain the different parts I have, and where I do have doubts:
Here is how my new.html.erb looks like:
<%= simple_form_for(resource, :as => resource_name, :url => registration_path(resource_name), :remote => true) do |f| %>
<%= f.input :email, :label => false, :placeholder => 'Enter Email' %>
<%= f.submit "Step inside", :id => 'invitation_button' %>
<% end %>
<div id="request_invite">
As you can see, I have a
:remote => true, so the submit is done via AJAX. Also, I have an empty container (#request_invite) which will be filled with a partial just in case the submit is successful.
Here is how my registrations_controller.rb (create method) looks like:
def create
if resource.save
if resource.active_for_authentication?
sign_in(resource_name, resource)
respond_with resource, :location => after_sign_up_path_for(resource)
respond_with resource, :location => after_inactive_sign_up_path_for(resource)
clean_up_passwords resource
respond_with resource
My doubt is here. What should I write in order to be able to let the JS know that the submission was successful or not. If it was successful, I want to render a partial called
_thank_you.html.erb into the #request_invite container. If it was not successful, I want to show the errors in the form.
Here it comes my Javascript file that deals with the AJAX response:
$('document').ready(function() {
$("#new_user").on('ajax:success', function(data, status, xhr)
Right now the alert("test") always shows up as I don't have any way to know if there is a success or not.
Thanks a lot, I hope I explained myself well enough.

Village briefs: DTOP partners with school for 'Eco-Art' exhibit
By Anna Lothson
Downtown Oak Park has partnered with local schools for a new event that will showcase pieces of art that use recyclable materials.
The event, Re-Create Eco-Art Exhibit, will be displayed from April 1 through April 20. Downtown Oak Park encourages the community to vote for their favorite art piece inside participating businesses. The Re-Create Eco-Art Exhibit winner will be announced at the Village of Oak Park's Earth Fest 2013 on Saturday, April 20. Aside from recognition for being green – the winning students will also win a zero-waste pizza party.
To learn more about DTOP's green efforts, visit downtownoakpark.net. Their site includes information about incorporating sustainable event practices, and applying for certification as a green business through Illinois Green Business Association.
Composting pilot program starts in Oak Park
Oak Park is working to help residents reduce the amount of organic garbage heading to landfills.
To do so, the village has launched a food-scrap composting pilot program, available to residents in any "single-family" residence, which includes everything up to five-flat buildings, that use the village's refuse and recycling services.
The deadline for the first round of participants has passed, but more opportunities will become available as the program expands. Participants will received a special 96-gallon mobile cart for organic material, equivalent to three bags or containers of yard waste collected in the current program. Those who use the organic cart for their yard waste and food scraps won't be required to purchase yard waste stickers. Pickups for those who have enrolled will begin April 1.
This program, offered on a voluntary, subscription basis, costs $14 per month, which is similar in cost to a yard waste sticker per week. There are also options for residents who maintain backyard compost piles or those who mulch grass clipping to share carts and costs. Both yard waste and food scraps can be placed in the organics cart, but food scraps must be compost-able.
To learn more about future opportunities to join this program, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 708-358-5700.
Public health nominations deadline
Nominations are being accepted for annual awards that honor those who made exceptional contributions to improving the health of Oak Parkers during 2012. The nomination deadline is 5 p.m., March 22. The Oak Park Department of Public Health will honor those individuals and organizations with the William Fitzsimmons Award during 2013 Public Health Week, April 1-7. A nomination form may be downloaded on the village's website or be picked up at village hall, 123 Madison St.
Volunteers needed for A Day in Our Village
Planning is underway for the 40th annual A Day in Our Village, Oak Park's annual festival celebrating diversity and community involvement. This year's event is scheduled for Sunday, June 2.
A variety of volunteers are needed to help promote and staff the event, which includes activity booths representing Oak Park civic, cultural, social service, educational, religious and business organizations, as well as demonstrations, entertainment and food provided by local restaurants. Anyone interested in volunteering or learning more should call 708-358-5407 or email email@example.com.
