Texting Behavior. Huge breaks between texts. Is she interested?
Just a heads up, This is long and has a ton of detail. I'm not much for meeting people online and getting to know them through technology, but I do... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Honestly, she might just suck at texting. I'm a very scatterbrained person and am always losing my phone, or forgetting to check for messages, and I do the exact same thing.
Yeah I think she's just busy/ a bad texter. She started texting me like normal again, and she's the one doin most of the texting so it seems like she's interested. Thanks
No problem! Hope it works out :)
What Girls Said 4
wtf. I was going to say she is just trying to make it seem like she is busy, but she clearly sucks at responding. I would try again and if it still was like this ask her what's up with her 8 hour long text message.
Yeah good call. But does it sound like she's interested in me? is it a good sign that she texted me right away that next morning? or could that mean anything?
Not really if I was interested in a guy and he texted me I would be texting back. It could mean anything, but I would defiantly ask her why it takes so long to get a response and asking that wouldn't seem like your just sitting around waiting for a text back
It may be a bunch of things. Some times I get really busy and I'll see the text but not respond and forget and then realize and I'll reply. Why not just give her a call and ask her out on a date. Texting is fun sure but us girls want more than that. You made the initial contact through text now call and make some plans for the weekend and see how it is when you're together. Then you will see if it's just that she sucks at texting or she's really not interested.

I don't know what the story is, but maybe add silhouettes in the background to give some hint of what she is running from.

The gesture and composition don't work. The picture is of a woman escaping with a baby, so it's got to have a sense of urgency. Having the trees placed symetrically, placing the woman right in the center, creates a calm balanced feeling. The gesture could be helped by having the woman looking backwards, hunch her forward, have her off balance. Also do some research into faces, decide on an age and race, ditch the 'conceptart.org approved' generic face, come up with your own simpification, your own opinion.

Graphene Membranes Superpermeable to Water 292 292
from the it-slices-it-dices dept.
...you don't need a pressure source like you do for reverse osmosis?
Now we know what the water receptacles in Dune were made of.
The atoms might be at least 4.5 billion years old, but not *every* molecule of water is of that age.
Spend a little time thinking about it, and you will realize that distilled water urban legend is silly. In your mouth, it is mixed with saliva and mucous and whatever else is stuck to your teeth, gums, and tongue. The instant it hits your stomach, it is mixed with stomach acids and whatever you ate recently. I.e. it is no longer pure distilled water. From there, the molecules wander through your body like any other water molecule. Distilling water does not give its component molecules magic properties.
Yes, but here they're showing that the membrane allows WATER through but will stop HELIUM. If I'm not mistaken, helium molecules are smallerthan water molecules. That's the freakish quality.
Water is formed from hydrogen and oxygen. It is not inert, it decomposes and reforms constantly. So, no, water molecules are not at least 4.5 billion years old.
The hydrogen and oxygen atoms that make up water, or at least most of them, may well be much older than that. Particularly the hydrogen, which may be over 13 billion years old.
You're using energy to get that water higher than it's final location, just like a pump.
Oxygen being in the center of a water molecule pretty much makes it larger than helium in ALL directions.

Is it time for Game of Thrones yet?
At this point in my life I have been there and done that but there is still a world full of things to explore and I would love to find someone to explore them with. I am an adventurer. For our first date I would like to go hiking or kayaking. California is a beautiful place and there is tons to do and I want to do it all eventually. If its a sunny day I want to be at the beach or out riding my bike. If its cold an cloudy I want to make hot chocolate and watch movies wrapped in a blanket. I just want someone to be the blanket hog. As much as I enjoy being active I also like to take it slow sometimes. I like to read a good book, cook a good meal and relaxing by the pool. My ideal match is smart, fun and funny yet doesn't take life too seriously. A girl that wants to see the world with me and enjoy every minute of it. A girl that will talk to me until late hours about her favorite movie or sit on the couch and read or just do nothing. I am not really into sports. I'll watch a football game if its on but I don't keep track of teams or scores. I prefer being athletic to watching it on TV. If you like sports that fine. I'll still watch the game with you and find a team to root for. If you got this far then you should know I have a son. His name is Nathaniel. He is an amazing kid and I love being his dad. I am originally from the mid-west but love it here in California. I have mid-west manners but I am a Californian.

I love travelling. This summer I took a trip to Yellowstone and it was amazing. Next summer I have my sights set on Europe.
Lately I have been going to a few concerts and movie events in LA. I recently saw the Cornetto trilogy at the Egyptian theater and the director and some actors were there. I also like to go to the range and shoot guns whenever I get a chance.
I recently finished reading a book about Dwight Eisenhower. I was named after him and was curious about his life. I am looking for a new book to grab my attention.

Connie Hedegaard, Member of the UN Secretary General's High-Level Panel on Global Sustainability, and the Danish Presidency of the Council of the European Union have invited ministers from the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS), Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and a number of Latin American countries to talks in Brussels on 7-8 May 2012. This Informal Roundtable will build on the important breakthrough achieved at the 2011 Durban climate conference and explore further cooperation.
The determined efforts by these countries, the European Union and South Africa played a key role in Durban's successful outcome. Continued cooperation with these countries will be essential to ensure future success in international fora such as the UN climate change convention and the Rio+20 summit on sustainable development on 20-22 June 2012.

Over the past decade, researchers have made great strides in identifying genes that lead to an increased risk of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), which result in a continuum of social deficits, communication difficulties and cognitive delays. But it's still critical to determine how exactly these genetic risk factors impact the brain's structure and function so that better treatments and interventions can be developed.
This led researchers at UCLA to look more closely at one particular culprit that's known to cause a susceptibility to ASD a genetic variant, or mutation, in the MET receptor tyrosine kinase gene, commonly known simply as MET.
And what they found was striking: For the first time, the researchers showed that the so-called "C" variant, which reduces MET protein expression, specifically impacts the network of connections among different areas of the brain involved in social behavior, including recognizing emotions shown on people's faces. While this gene variation is commonly found in the brains of both health individuals and those with ASD, the study showed that the gene has a bigger impact on brain connectivity in children with ASD.
The findings appear in the current online edition of the journal Neuron.
Senior author Mirella Dapretto, a professor of psychiatry at the Semel Institute of Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA; first author Jeff Rudie, a graduate student in Dapretto's lab; and Pat Levitt, the Provost Professor of Neuroscience, Psychiatry, Psychology and Pharmacy at the University of Southern California, who discovered MET's association with ASD, used three different types of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to determine how the MET risk factor impacts brain structure and function.
Their findings provide new insight into understanding ASD heterogeneity the considerable individual differences in how ASD symptoms present which has challenged the field in developing more

Average Chemical Research & Development Managers in the United States make around $102K per year. Incomes of Chemical Research & Development Managers vary widely depending on performance components; bonuses and profit sharing that can occasionally exceed $20K cause paychecks to spread between $71K on the low end and $151K on the high end. The majority of Chemical Research & Development Managers claim high levels of job satisfaction. Almost all report receiving medical coverage from their employers and a large number collect dental insurance. The vast majority of Chemical Research & Development Managers (86 percent) survey respondents are men. This snapshot results from replies to PayScale's salary survey.

Most of the time, a research and development manager in the chemical field is responsible for leading others in various projects for the company. This is mostly an indoor job, and everyone involved will have skills in chemical laboratories and data collection duties.Read More...
The certification required for managing coworkers, who are mostly engineers in the chemistry field, is going to be a higher requirement than that for a regular team position. A master's degree in a chemistry-related field is usually required, along with some management experience.
The customers involved in each individual project will give feedback, showing the real job assessment of the manager's performances. The work done by management is mainly mental, as he or she watches over the team and the progress of each project. Each project will reflect on his or her ability to run the team and plan the timing for completion and efficiency. Working hands-on with the team is likely, so he or she must be familiar equipment and tools that belong in an intermediate chemical lab. Each project could need specialized tools or equipment, which would be brought in and stationed for use. A typical day would most likely be ten to twelve hours long, depending on the project at hand. The team members that are under the manager would normally work an eight-hour day, and the manager would always be the last to leave. He or she would make the schedule based on time management he or she has developed for the specific project or projects that are underway.

My girl LC quit The Hills this season and is finding a lot more free time to do … well … nothing. We watched her mature from a high school sweetheart to a young woman right before our eyes and is getting better looking with age. She is dating some geek, but that would not stop us from flirting with her, and is always dressed to the nines, which makes our knees weak and I would be honored to make out in public with Lauren Conrad.

Lieber to starting rotation, unknown if Manuel will challenge anyone to fight tonight.
Lieber to starting rotation, unknown if Manuel will challenge anyone to fight tonight.
Good idea. Take your best starter and move him to the bullpen.

Your Mom is happy.
Charlie Manuel just put himself in the running for Worst MLB Manager.
If Krivsky can pounce on this bout of idiocy and extract Myers from the Phillies, I'll take back all the bad things I've ever said about him.
"I prefer books and movies where the conflict isn't of the extreme cannibal apocalypse variety I guess." Redsfaithful
I could find a starting role for Myers on this team...he has a more favorable track record than you know who...
That has to be one of the single dumbest things I have ever had the misfortune to comprehend. That is indefensible on every possible level...
Charlie says it all about having the best staff possible. Turning one of your best starters into a setup man makes the staff better?
When asked if this was out of desperation, Manuel replied, "No, I think this is a way of us trying to fix our pitching staff, having the best pitching staff we can have."
Myers has struggled so far this season, going 0-2 with a 9.39 ERA. He has failed to even make it out of the fifth inning in each of his last two starts.
Lieber hasn't fared any better; after two appearances out of the bullpen, he has a lofty 11.57 ERA. Last season, he started 27 games for the Phillies, going 9-11 with a 4.93 ERA.
Everyone associated with that decision from the front office down to Charlie Manuel should immediately be fired.
I dropped Myers this morning and picked up Hamilton because I needed OF depth. I must have ESP or something!
Great news for me! Some fool in my fantasy league dropped him a couple days ago for Ramon Ortiz. Im pretty far down the waiver wire but maybe this we'll help me pick up Myers.
Idiocy. This is something a fantasy manager would do. Freaking baseball is a marathon, not a sprint, you can't judge Myers after 3 starts this season after what he' done the past 2 seasons. Anyone think the Phils need Comier back?
Nothing so much fun as watching the Phillies implode.
Raisel Ghul, the Demon's Head
Make that a thing.
If WK has a pulse, he is on the phone to Philly right now, offering them EE, Coffey and Cormier for Myers...
Moronic move. I don't really care about the Phillies, but Myers is on my Roto team.
I'm going to miss Johnny Beisbol
Hey Philly, you can have your boy Milton back. Along with Frenchie, and we'll even throw in a real setup man in David Weathers.
You send us that bum Meyers. Sound good?

Javascript is becoming increasingly popular on websites,from loading dynamic data viaAJAXto adding special effects to your page.
Unfortunately,these features come at a price:you must often rely on heavy Javascript libraries that can add dozens or even hundreds of kilobytes to your page.
Users hate waiting,so here are a few techniques you can use to trim down your sites.
(Check out part 2for downloadable examples.)
Find The Flab
Like any optimization technique,it helps to measure and figure out what parts are taking the longest.You might find that your images andHTMLoutweigh your scripts.Here's a few ways to investigate:
1.TheFirefoxweb-developer toolbarlets you see a breakdown of file sizes for a page(Right Click>Web Developer>Information>View Document Size).Look at the breakdown and see what is eating the majority if your bandwidth,and which files:
2.TheFirebug Pluginalso shows a breakdown of files – just go to the "Net" tab.You can also filter by file type:
3.OctaGate SiteTimergives a clean,online chart of how long each file takes to download:
Disgusted by the bloat?Decided your javascript needs to go?Let's do it.
Compress Your Javascript
First,you can try to make the javascript file smaller itself.There are lots of utilities to "crunch" your files by removing whitespace and comments.
You can do this,but these tools can be finnicky and may make unwanted changes if your code isn't formatted properly.Here's what you can do:
1.RunJSLint(onlineordownloadable version)to analyze your code and make sure it is well-formatted.
2.UseYUICompressorto compress your javascript from the command line.There are someonline packers,but theYUICompressor(based on Rhino)actually analyzes your source code so it has a low chance of changing it as it compresses,and it is scriptable.
Install theYUICompressor(it requires Java),then run it from the command-line(x.y.z is the version you downloaded):
java-jar yuicompressor-x.y.z.jar myfile.js-o myfile-min.js
This compresses myfile.js and spits it out into myfile-min.js.Rhino will remove spaces,comments and shorten variable names where appropriate.
Using Rhino,I pack the original javascript and deploy the packed version to my website.
Debugging Compressed Javascript
Debuggingcompressed Javascript can be really difficult because the variables are renamed.I suggest creating a "debug" version of your page that references the original files.Once you test it and get the page working,pack it,test the packed version,and then deploy.
If you have a unit testing framework likejsunit,it shouldn't be hard to test the packed version.
Eliminating Tedium
Because typing these commands over and over can be tedious,you'll probably want tocreate a script to run the packing commands.This.bat file will compress every.js file and create.js.packed:
compress_js.bat:for/FF in('dir /b ·.js')do java-jar custom_rhino.jar-cF > %%F.packed 2>&1
Of course,you can use a better language like perl or bash to make this suit your needs.
Optimize Javascript Placement
Place your javascript at the end of yourHTMLfile if possible.Notice how Google analytics and other stat tracking software wants to be right before the closing
This allows the majority of page content(like images,tables,text)to be loaded and rendered first.The user sees content loading,so the page looks responsive.At this point,the heavy javascripts can begin loading near the end.
I used to have all my javascript crammed into the
section,but this was unnecessary.Only core files that are absolutely needed in the beginning of the page load should be there.The rest,like cool menu effects,transitions,etc.can be loaded later.You want the page to appear responsive(i.e.,something is loading)up front.
Load Javascript On-Demand
function $import(src){var scriptElem=document.createElement('script');scriptElem.setAttribute('src',src);scriptElem.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(scriptElem);}
function $importNoCache(src){var ms=new Date().getTime().toString();var seed="?"+ ms;$import(src+ seed);}
The function
$import('http://example.com/myfile.js')will add an element to the
headof your document,just like including the file directly.The
$importNoCacheversion adds a timestamp to the request to force your browser to get a new copy.
To test whether a file has fully loaded,you can do something like
There is anAJAXversion as wellbut I prefer this one because it is simpler and works for files in any domain.
Delay Your Javascript
Rather than loading your javascript on-demand(which can cause a noticeable gap),load your script in the background,after a delay.Use something like
var delay=5;setTimeout("loadExtraFiles();",delay*1000);
This will call
loadExtraFiles()after 5 seconds,which should load the files you need(using
$import).You can even have a function at the end of these imported files that does whatever initialization is needed(or calls an existing function to do the initialization).
The benefit of this is that you still get a fast initial page load,and users don't have a pause when they want to use advanced features.
In the case ofInstaCalc,there are heavy charting libraries that aren't used that often.I'm currently testing a method to delay chart loading by a few seconds while the core functionality remains available from the beginning.
You may need to refactor your code to deal with delayed loading of components.Some ideas:
- Use SetTimeout to poll the loading status periodically(check for the existence of functions/variables defined in the included script)
- Call a function at the end of your included script to tell the main program it has been loaded
Cache Your Files
Another approach is to explicitly set the browser's cache expiration.In order to do this,you'll need access toPHPor Apache's.htaccess so you can send back certain cache headers(read more on caching).
myfile.js.phpand addthe following linesto the top:
In this case,the cache will expire in(60*60*24*3)seconds or3 days.Be careful with using this for your own files,especially if they are under development.I'd suggest caching library files that you won't change often.
If you accidentally cache something for too long,you can use the
$importNoCachetrick to add a datestamp like "myfile.js?123456″ to your request(which is ignored).Because the filename is different,the browser will request a new version.
Setting the browser cache doesn't speed up the initial download,but can help if your site references the same files on multiple pages,or for repeat visitors.
Combine Your Files
But you don't have to combine files manually!Use a script to merge the files — check out part 2 for an example script to do this.Giant files are difficult to edit – it's nice to break your library into smaller components that can be combined later,just like you break up a C program into smaller modules.
Should I Gzip It?
You probably should.I originally said no,because some older browsers have problems with compressed content.
But the web is moving forward.Major sites like Google and Yahoo use it,and the problems in the older browsers aren't widespread.
The benefits of compression,often a 75%or more reduction in file size,are too good to ignore:optimize your site withHTTPcompression.
All done?Keep learning.
Once you've performed the techniques above,recheck your page size using the tools above to see the before-and-after difference.
I'm not an expert on these methods — I'm learning as I go.Here are some additional references to dive in deeper:

Thoughts inspiring. Inspiring thoughts
It was some time since I last took a train to work.
Having send my trusty scooter to the workshop the day before and by a series of unfortunate miscommunication, did not manage to collect it the same evening and end up taking public transport for another half a day.
What was interesting is that it seems that the stations name announcements are made in English only. I find that perfectly fine. What was interesting that for the morning ride towards town, there as this announcement with the content something along this line:
"If you see any suspicious characters or unattended bags, please report to the station staff or contact us via the on train communication system"
The message was announced in Chinese and there was no English version of it. It left my mind thinking of which demographic was deem more suspicious. I could be thinking too much.
On a totally unrelated note, a Chinese gentleman gave up his seat to an old lady on the train. The old lady refused saying that she will be only travelling for 2 stations. The gentleman insisted and the old lady took the seat.
To this gentleman, welcome to Singapore.

Originally written on Fox Sports Midwest | Last updated 5/5/12
Right-hander Kyle Lohse failed to join Lance Lynn as St. Louis starters to open their seasons at 5-0. Lohse was not quite his April self as he allowed five runs in five innings to the Houston Astros on Friday night. However, two of those runs were unearned, and perhaps just one of the five should have scored if the Cardinals' defense had performed better. On the other hand, Lohse pointed to the three-run homer he gave up to Jose Altuve in the second inning, the difference-maker in a 5-4 Houston victory. The Cardinals have lost two in a row for the third time this season. They have not dropped three straight. Lohse (4-1) reached 99 pitches far faster than he wanted to, pitching deep into counts more than earlier in the season even though he walked just one, marking the fifth time in six starts he had walked either none or one. It was obvious he had an occasional disagreement with plate umpire Paul Emmel, once disgustedly catching Yadier Molina's return throw to the mound with his...

Most modern programming languages, such as Java, C#, Ruby, and Python, are object-oriented languages, which help group individual bits of code into a complex and coherent application. However, object-orientation itself is not a language; it's simply a set of ideas and concepts.
Let Simon Allardice introduce you to the terms—words like abstraction, inheritance, polymorphism, subclass—and guide you through defining your requirements and identifying use cases for your program. The course also covers creating conceptual models of your program with design patterns, class and sequence diagrams, and unified modeling language (UML) tools, and then shows how to convert the diagrams into code.
We are at the end of the course, but there is still a lot more that you can learn and understand about object- oriented programming analysis and design. You can develop these skills for many years both in depth and in subtlety. Now most people first approach object orientation believing it's a set of absolute rules and predefined structures. But as we've explored, it's simply an approach that brings with it a variety of tools and techniques. It's true that there is no one true way but there are certainly best practices, and you have the choice of which ones are most useful for you.
It's a good idea to revisit this content now and again. You will find new ideas, and things that will have new meaning the second or even the third time around. And thanks for watching. See you next time.
