Parental Pariah: What the Books won't tell you about Motherhood – the BoredomWritten by Leah Lederman | | email@example.com
My father served in Vietnam. He explained that being in war was –- contrary to what we'd think –- about the most tedious thing he'd ever encountered: hours of mind-warping boredom punctuated by moments of sheer animal terror. A friend told me that working in an emergency room is about the same. I'm here to tell you what no one else will — so is motherhood.
There's the excitement of the first smile, the first little tooth jutting its way out, the first time they roll over, the first time they roll the other way; then when they sit up and, of course, the first steps. All these firsts. They are amazing, I'm not arguing that.
What they don't tell you about are the not-so-joyous firsts: the first time the kid bites you, the first time they roll over off of the couch, the first time you learn what the ever-so-cute syllables "uh oh" really mean.
Then there's the millionths. Okay, maybe not millionths, but it seems that way when you're up at 2 in the morning with a wailing child cutting another tooth. The millionth time you've told them not to bite you (eventually, just bite back. But I shouldn't have that in writing …), the millionth time they unlatch the child-safety lock on the cabinet and help themselves to screwdrivers, scissors, detergent and more, the millionth time they run away from you on their surprisingly speedy little legs (usually with a pair of scissors or bottle of Windex in hand).
Momblog groups like "Moms who Drink and Swear" have gained a certain notoriety on the Internet lately for apparently 'telling it like it is'. Their aim is to be superlatively offensive, which is sufficiently off-putting for many. I believe that their amped-up candor is merely a response to the centuries of mommy-hood literature that hangs over their heads, dripping with the sentiments of unconditional love and patience with which every mother is, apparently, naturally imbued. It's classic; it's Victorian; it's contemporary; everyone knows that moms are the most patient and loving creatures in the world.
Peruse any book in the "Parenting" section of your local book store and you'll find it filled with maternal regalia, championing the unconditional, sweetest love that a mother holds in her heart for her child, it being the purest love that exists. American author Joyce Maynard once wrote, "I think of my children's births –- carry them around with me –- every day of my life."
If that quote didn't make you throw up in your mouth a little bit, well, it should have. But at least hear me out. Every day? Each day of your life? I wasn't even in labor yet and I was already trying to block it out. I look at my son every day, and I even kind of like the kid, but that's because I don't think about that one time, that one horrible 24 hour period, when I birthed him.
We have become oversaturated with romanticized and unrealistic prose about pregnancy, birth, and motherhood.
Yes, yes, babies change our lives.
What a wonderful adventure it is — especially for your hormones and your nerves …. No, you never sleep the same. There is the worry that translates into premature crow's feet and grey hair.
But let's talk about what babies really do:
Eat. (check).
Sleep. (check). (check again to make sure they're still breathing).
Poop. (check). (then check your face, hands, body, and surrounding walls and carpeting to make sure there wasn't any "foul" poop).
Did I mention there's a lot of crying during and throughout each of these intervals? Crying because they're hungry; because you didn't get the food to them fast enough; it's not what they wanted; it's too hot; it's too cold. Crying because they don't want to take a nap; because they missed their nap; because they overslept and now they're overtired. Crying because they have to poop; because they just dirtied – no, violated – a diaper (and their pants along with it), and you have the audacity to clean the whole thing up; because they pooped on the floor and stepped in it, and it's all your fault.
Now that Bambino has become a little dude, and the weather permits a few hours of being outside, I thought that I could finally be free from cabin fever, and we'd have adventures in the backyard. While I coax him towards the toys and activities we've set up for him outside, he ignores me. Instead of the buckets, shovels and slide, he's spotted a puddle. He sees a rock. He picks up the rock, and throws it in the puddle.
Cute, of course, especially with his resounding "wooooow" in response the splash.
Aaaand we're back to the millionths.
Eventually, he saturated the puddle with the rocks he found from around the yard, and during this time, I have little choice but to join him in the search. For rocks. I thought that, by journeying outside for the first time in months, I'd be in the "combat" zone, so to speak; I was ready for adventure. Instead, I found myself looking for rocks (and, if it was a really good one, he'd permit a stick).
In the end, yes, it was a good day. But books that sap with the abounding discoveries of motherhood obviously haven't seen my driveway — picked clean of gravel.
Despite the massive amounts of eating, sleeping and pooping that factor the largest parts of my day, I can't necessarily just write off the pre-existing motherhood literature. It's there for a reason. While I balance extra napkins and silverware at a restaurant, and reach into my purse –- by the cellphone, iPod and lipstick –- to find the sliced apples (now slightly browned) and flashlight that might keep him quiet for the comfort of the other patrons, I realize that I haven't taken my eyes off of him in fifteen minutes, but I'm not tired of looking at him. I'm discovering his facial expressions and sounds and interests, moment by moment, waiting eagerly for the next new thing to arrive, because if I don't watch constantly, I'll miss it.

This is not the quietly subdued ginger ale that they throw at you on an airplane. Oh no. This one has a little extra kick to it. We're not talking jalapeño, run for the water, eat some saltine crackers hot. It's just that we threw in a pretty healthy dose of ginger (what a novel idea?) to make sure you didn't forget what you were drinking. When you use great ingredients it's hard to go wrong. You'll understand why we call this the "holy grail of ginger ale" when you try it! You can even try it in a grail if you like. Each 1.42 fl oz packet makes a 16 oz serving.

Excellent prices. Service was not the best, I had to wait forever to get a drink and my tab. NOT the best in NYC.
Posted by poco on 01/29/2011
We ordered in from Real Thai and the food was excellent. My husband is not generally a huge fan of Thai food but finally found a dish besides Pad Thai that he loved. He ordered the duck with vegetables and tamarind sauce and he thought it was a fabulous dish. The roast duck was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and came with a very deliciously flavorful sauce on the side. I had the tofu and vegetables with peanut sauce which tasted great and was especially good over the perfectly prepared sticky rice. The food came quickly and was very hot when it arrived. We look forward to ordering from Real Thai soon.
Posted by anonymous on 11/16/2010
Food was great, price was more affordable than other similar places in the area. Ordered the panang curry with tofu, very delicious and spicy. Got it delivered and it came very fast (about 10 min!) Also got the Thai coconut pudding for dessert -- it comes in little clay dishes you can keep and use for soy sauce later. I'll order from them again!
Posted by Chanoie on 07/24/2010
I just stumbled upon this place when I moved into the neighbourhood and I can honestly say it's the best thai food I've had, outside of Thailand. The service is great whether you're getting delivery or eating in the restaurant. The spring rolls and chicken satay are outstanding and the same can be said of the pad see ew and the broccoli entree. Prices are great and I have literally eaten either in the restaurant or ordered delivery some 10 times in the last 2weeks.

Food is very average but the price is right for the lunch special

Many decision problems arising from real-world applications can be modeled as disjunctive convex programs, i.e., optimization problems with a convex objective function and a feasible region defined as the union of individual convex sets having a known algebraic representation. This particular class of problems subsumes, among others, mixed-integer programs, linear complementarity problems and chance constrained problems (of finite support distribution). Examples of applications that can be modeled as disjunctive convex program with some nonlinear element in the formulation include the market product positioning problem (from Marketing), the process synthesis network design problem (from Chemical Engineering) and the limited-diversification portfolio selection problem (from Finance).
This dissertation is primarily concerned with the solution of the nonlinear models using cutting-plane based algorithms. Our work builds upon the theory and practical experience developed by Balas, Ceria and Cornuéjols with their "lift-and-project" method, which is designed to tackle mixed 0-1 linear programs-a subclass of disjunctive convex programs.
We first provide an unified treatment for the primal and dual representation of the convex hull of the union of individual polyhedra. Then, we focus on the lift-and-project cut generation problem to derive some new theoretical properties and introduce some new classes of cuts. Our primal-dual framework also allows for a differentiated geometric interpretation of lift-and-project cuts. We also show that a specialized version of the cutting-plane algorithm that uses cuts based on the euclidean norm has finite convergence.
In the nonlinear setting, we provide a primal representation of the convex hull of the union of individual convex sets, extending an earlier result of Jeroslow. Then, we propose an extension of the lift-and-project approach to tackle mixed 0-1convex programs. We explain that the cut generation problem can be solved in a smaller dimension space by a primal procedure akin to the interior-point approach or a primal-dual procedure which is a specialized form of the Bundle method, or Frank-Wolfe's algorithm.

Re: Let's see your POV/ Driver's seat pics
People may have seen these already on my gear thread. If so sorry to waste your time.
The first is from a rehearsal with a funk band. There's a second kit on the other side of the room. Cannot remember why now. It's just a Pearl Masterworks kit. The snares are great though, Tama bubinga koa and a Sonor Designer. I am surprised to see crash cymbals on the kit. I usually do not use crashes. I prefer to crash rides. The band must have had loads of hits to accent. I think we did a bunch of TOP songs and that is why.
This other shot if from another ensemble playing Latin based jazz/funk/r&b. No crashes. 2 rides and some hats. And again 2 great snares, this time a Cottonwood and artist beech. I remember I learned 90 songs in just over a week for that group.

Demetrious Johnson Pushing For UFC On FOX 8 Headliner - FightLine.com
UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson lives just outside of Seattle, so when word broke that the UFC would be returning to the Pacific Northwest later this year, "Mighty Mouse" made sure to throw his name in the hat for the main event.
The card, UFC On FOX 8, was announced Friday for the KeyArena in Seattle on July 27. Johnson (17-2-1) is currently rehabbing from a torn labrum.
"Spread the word, I want the UFC on FOX 8 headline spot, if it hasn't been filled yet," Johnson wrote in a text message to MMAFighting.com.

Australian press reports about the Lockheed Martin F-35 getting "clubbed like a baby seal" in a classified analysis of a wargame by the RAND Corp. has clearly got the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program worried. First, the F-35′s leadership duo — Maj Gen Charles Davis and Lockheed executive Tom Burbage — called an impromptu press conference last week to publicly question the motives of the program's critics. Now, RAND itself has jumped into the fray. Here's RAND's statement issued earlier today:
"Recently, articles have appeared in the Australian presswith assertions regarding a war game in which analysts from the RANDCorporation were involved. Those reportsare not accurate.
RANDdid not present any analysis at the war game relating to the performance of theF-35 Joint Strike Fighter, nor did the game attempt detailed adjudication ofair-to-air combat. Neither the game northe assessments by RANDin support of the gameundertook any comparison of the fighting qualities of particular fighteraircraft."

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. -- Lake Superior State University's Dance Company will get the community into the holiday spirit with its third annual Festival of Trees, which is set for 7 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 6, in the LSSU Arts Center.
The holiday fundraiser continues to grow each year and features the donation and auction of decorated Christmas trees, as well as refreshments and performances by LSSU dance students. This year, the group will donate a portion of its silent auction proceeds to the Sault Area Public Schools Students in Transition/Homeless Program.
"It has been so nice to see the community support for this annual holiday program," said Prof. Deborah Choszczyk, who teaches dance at LSSU. "We are pleased to be donating a portion of the proceeds this year to the Sault Schools program for homeless students.
GETTING INTO THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT -- Members of the LSSU Dance Company prepare for their third annual Festival of Trees dance and music performance set for 7 p.m. this Friday, Dec. 6, at the LSSU Arts Center. The evening's events include musical selections by LSSU music students at 7 p.m. and dance performances by students at 7:30 p.m. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be on hand for photos with children beginning at 7 p.m. (Photo by LSSU photojournalism student Kyle Lester)
The evening's events include musical selections by LSSU music students at 7 p.m. and dance performances by students at 7:30 p.m. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be on hand for photos with children beginning at 7 p.m. The silent auction will continue and refreshments will be offered throughout the evening.
All trees and wreaths will be on display as soon as they are brought in, and they may be bid on through Dec. 6, when the event concludes with winning bids announced at 9 p.m.
"The dance program at LSSU continues to grow and flourish as a result of hard-working, dedicated students who are gaining life experiences not only in dance, but in how to share their talents with dignity and grace while helping others in our community," Choszczyk added.
Already this school year, the company has participated and performed in programs on the prevention of bullying and domestic violence, hosted a program on breast cancer awareness, served during the annual Downtown Trick and Treat event in Sault Ste. Marie and was featured artists at Northern Michigan University during a fall performance.

Goulburn Weir is located on the Goulburn River, approximately 8 km north of Nagambie.
The construction of a weir on the Goulburn River began in 1887, and was completed in 1891. The Goulburn Weir was the first major diversion structure built for irrigation in Australia and was considered very advanced for the time. Such was the regard for the structure, it appeared on the reverse of Australian half sovereign and ten shilling banknotes from 1913 until 1933.
Goulburn Weir is a concrete structure founded on bedrock, with its downstream face stepped with granite blocks quarried from the nearby Mt Black.
The metal superstructure of the original weir included 21 cast iron and wrought iron gates mounted between cast iron piers. The gates could be lowered into recesses in the weir crest to pass river and flood flows. Water‑driven turbines provided the power to lower and raise the gates.
The structure also contained one of the first hydro-electric turbines in the southern hemisphere. The electricity was used to illuminate the weir and visitors came from all over Victoria to marvel at the steady bright electric light and floodlit water spray when the gates were operated at night. Goulburn Weir became an important venue for social and recreational events.
Works to stabilise the deteriorating weir structure were completed in 1983, and in 1987 a major refurbishment was undertaken. The work included advice on architectural and heritage matters from expert consultants, and the engagement of specialist contractors.
As part of the works, the main weir superstructure was replaced with nine steel radial gates mounted between concrete piers forming the new structure. Two of the original gates and lifting gear, mounted on the angled western abutment, were retained to preserve part of this unique piece of engineering history.
In 1988, the refurbishment work was awarded the Engineering Excellence Award, Public Works Section 'for stabilisation and reconstruction of a superstructure and retention of heritage value and charm' by the Institution of Engineers Australia (Victoria Division).
Goulburn Weir raises the level of the Goulburn River so that water can be diverted by gravity along the Stuart Murray Canal, Cattanach Canal and the East Goulburn Main Channel.
Diversions to the East Goulburn Main Channel supply the Shepparton Irrigation Area. The Stuart Murray Canal supplies part of the Central Goulburn Irrigation Area. Both the Stuart Murray Canal and the Cattanach Canals are used to divert water to Waranga Basin for further supplies to the Goulburn irrigation system.
The weir also forms Lake Nagambie around which recreation, farming and housing developments have grown.
The Goulburn Weir is an historic structure built in 1890 as the final major attempt to regulate water for irrigation in northern Victoria . It is situated on the Goulburn River near Nagambie. A picnic area with tables, electric barbeques and toilets is provided.
Lake Nagambie, formed by the weir, is famous for its water sports. Several major sporting events are held annually on the lake, including rowing regattas and water skiing. The lake is also a favourite spot for fishing.
Goulburn Weir Fact Sheet
WARNING - In the interests of public safety, swimming is prohibited in the storage upstream within 100 metres of the weir structure and totally prohibited downstream of the structure in the Goulburn River. Flows may change without notice and strong and unpredictable currents exist making this section of the river extremely dangerous.
Visitors are reminded that there are dangers associated with low water levels and are asked to exercise caution and adhere to all safety restrictions.

Read Poems by
Damona Efraim
I saw you from a distance
and i could not fight the resistance
To go over and touch
I felt my hand reachin out
yet i remained still..
I know you felt me last night at the party
As my eyes caressed
Every inch of you all night
My feelings so careless
From a far
But I remained still..
A brush of your touch
something rare as such
I thought it could never be
but you walked passed me
Leavin' an air of you Cologne
And yeah, once again I remained still...
For I'm an African woman
and it is not my place to talk
About the longin' I feel
And about the troubles you put in my heart...
African Prince can you feel me?
Can you feel my love,
that powers the power in me
Yet remains so dormant
waiting to be unleashed..
To a whole new world
That only you can reveal....

Since September, Morelisa Sabbs second graders at Joseph R. Pye Elementary have been working on their own books.
The books are bound with colorful construction paper and illustrated with drawings and sketches that the second-graders did on their own.
The project was meant to help them learn and understand the writing process for the second grade curriculum and now each student can say they have written a book for his or herself.
In celebration of finishing their books students got to participate in what Sabb entitled Authors Day when students got to read a biographical page from their little books aloud to their classmates.
Kaelee shared with the class reasons why she enjoys coming to school.
School is fun because there are lots of things to do, she said. I like to play at recess. You get to learn new things.
Authors Day was May 28 for Sabbs class, when all her students gathered on her colorful classroom rug and listened as, one by one, students would take the podium to read out their biographical piece. Students talked about who they were best friends with at school, what they liked to do with their families, what season of the year is their favorite (summer won, hands down), fun things they do with family pets and more.
Students like Ethan and Conner wrote about why they were best friends with each other.
Ethan is a great best friend because he plays with me, Conner shared with the class. Hes nice to me all the time.
Ethan reciprocated when it was his turn.
He (Conner) helps me up when I fall down, Ethan read to his peers. That is why he is my best friend.
Sabb has been hosting Authors Day for eight years as a way to get her students excited about writing and their finished books are always something the students look forward to.
I think they did really well with their writing overall, Sabb said. They loved it.
Each page of a childs book covers different writing instruction: over the school year students learned how to write informative pieces, explanative ones, narratives, descriptive writings and more. Sabb would sometimes allow time for free writes as well.
Moses was one of many students who wrote about why he loved summertime.
My favorite season is summer, he said. Its nice when it is warm. I like going in the pool. I like eating sweet, juicy watermelon. I like coming into the house so I can cool off.
Parents were also invited to participate and listen to the students read aloud. Tomova Robinson, whose daughter Fallan is in the class, said she feels Sabb is very good about pushing the students to do well.
Fallan loves school, Robinson said. Sabb is good at making them think outside the box.
After all the students read aloud they got to visit each others desks and sign their autographs on the back of their classmates books.
Kaelee told The Journal Scene that she enjoys writing because it helps students learn how to spell out words.
I do write at home and draw, she said. One time I wrote a big story about my family.
New student Jalen was not able to participate in writing and sharing his own book but he is staying optimistic.
Maybe Ill shoot my own movie and then Ill make a book, he said.

Recipe by Terry E.
"These deviled eggs include bacon and shredded Cheddar cheese. And a wasabi kick."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
4 slices
1/2 cup
2 tablespoons
finely shredded Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon
spicy mustard
1 tablespoon
wasabi paste
The outstanding ingredient in this is the wasabi which gives this a real punch of flavor. However, the shredded cheese just gets lost; I wouldn't even bother with that if I made again. And don't try to pipe the filling into the egg shells because the bacon clogs up in the tip (probably should have known that). Nice and a little different.
Awesome, tastey with a kick,right up my alley. A+++++
6 Ratings
I agree with the first reviewer, the cheese just gets lost in the other flavors so I'll omit it next time. My bacon had a strong smoky flavor which overtook the wasabi so I would probably use less bacon or a milder bacon if I make this again. The wasabi really does add a yummy kick to this recipe. It is easy to put the thick filling back into the eggs with just a tablespoon.
Made this a few days ago for the family...first time my egg dish had leftovers! Personally, I didn't care for them a whole lot -- the filling was too heavy. I prefer my "rigged up" recipe which includes sour cream and horseradish. Guess my family just prefer mine better!

The Army housing complex in Rawajati, in the Pancoran subdistrict of South Jakarta, has found a way to nurture a cleaner environment — by using garbage.
The complex is lush and shady, clean and orderly. It also has plenty of open green space, including one with a neat little building identified as a "Dry Garbage Savings Bank," better known in the area by its Indonesian acronym, Tasake bank.
The bank buys dry garbage from local residents, such as paper, aluminum, cardboard, books and magazine, glass, plastic bottles and various household goods, and sells them at a profit to recyclers, providing revenue for local households.
The bank's profit, which on average reaches Rp 200,000 ($21) per week, is used to pay for repairs of local public facilities as well as the greening of the neighborhood.
Despite taking in garbage, the Tasake bank is a clean and orderly place with six large covered containers used to store the different types of waste.
Niniek Nuryanto, the head of the Tasake bank here, said the project was started by local housewives in 2003 and obtained its present venue in January 2011.
Word of the benefits from the garbage collection scheme quickly attracted others, and the bank now counts 113 residents of the housing complex's RW 03 community unit as its members.
"We asked residents of RW 03 to sort their household waste and sell it to us. This can help the economy of all local residents," Niniek said.
The bank pays Rp 700 per kilogram of newspaper and cardboard.
Plastic bags and straws go for Rp 400 per kilogram, while plastic water bottles fetch Rp 2,700 per kilogram. Books and magazines sell for Rp 500 per kilogram, and aluminum and other metals bring in a more substantial Rp 9,000 per kilogram.
The bank's garbage haul is sold on a weekly basis to nearby recyclers and the proceeds are used for various improvement in the community.
"Besides reselling the trash, we recycle some of the plastic waste to make practical products that we then sell," Niniek said.
Some of the local women do their part to help by turning recycled plastic into various goods such as handbags, curtains, household ornaments and others.
They also use bits of textile and clothes to make quilts and bags. The proceeds from the sales of these products go back to those who make them, after a 10 percent cut for the local housewives' association.
However, Niniek said the Tasake bank was facing tough competition from roving garbage buyers who offered better prices. "We're losing the competition," she said.

Photoshop CS4 offers an abundance of helpful shortcuts and hidden tricks that allow designers and photographers to get more done in less time. In Photoshop CS4 Power Shortcuts, Michael Ninness reveals hundreds of tips to boost productivity, including the top 20 power shortcuts every Photoshop user must know. He covers strategies for better document and panel management, and offers techniques for becoming quicker and more nimble when using layers, adjustment layers, and layer masks. Exercise files accompany the course.
Download the keyboard shortcut guide from the Exercise Files tab.
Photoshop has an option to help you organize your layers in addition to layer groups, so putting to your collection of layers into a particular folder and giving that a name. It's one way to organize. You can also color code your layers, so if you right-click or Ctrl- click with a one-button mouse on the eye of a particular layer, you get a little pop up menu that way you could assign a color. So if I want this to be violet or gray, you just kind of have to come up with your own meaning for what these colors mean, but you will see what it does is it actually puts a color strip here in the eye column. So if I right-click or Ctrl-click there and make that one green, and make this one green as well maybe I'll right or Ctrl-click and make that one red. So there, it's a nice option if you need that level organization as long as you know what those colors mean it's a nice way to actually color code your layers.

Module/brain with more audio outputs?
Hi guys, I'm hoping you can help me out.
I'm looking around for an e-kit, budget will be somewhere around £800-£1000. I'm not too bothered about realistic feel as I haven't sat behind a kit for about 12 years and I don't see a scenario where I'll be aquiring an acoustic set anytime soon.
As I've been reading around here and other places on the net it seems most of you guys are more concerned with trigger inputs so you can expand your kit....my problem is finding a brain with more audio outputs, as I'd prefer to record direct. I've only come across a couple with 4 outs, ideally I would like 6 or 8, do they exist?
I realise I could USB to a VST or midi up a sampler but if possible I want to go this way.
Tbh something like the DM5 would probably do but it's only 4 outs - as I've looked further up the financial scale (DTX540k, TD11KV) it doesn't get any better....so I was thinking there may be a more expensive brain I could marry with a cheap kit....am I nuts?

I have large sets of events (onMouseClick, OnButtonPress, OnBoxLoad, OnEnemyDie, etc)
And a large set of actions (LoadBox, ThrustForward, BlowUp, AddHealth, etc)
The goal is to allow the user to create their own bindings by adding an action to an event.
Perhaps something like KeyPressed += new EventHandler(LoadBox), where KeyPressed is an event, and LoadBox is an Action(Action )
I think this should work in theory, if I have a list of events and a list of actions and allow the player to pick an event and an action to add to its observers...but I can't get the code to work.
The closest I have gotten is:
Which, Obviously, Does not work. How can I make this work? Is there a better way to go about what I am trying to do? Am I asking this in the wrong place?
asked Feb 02, 2012 at 03:46 PM
Why can't you do "KeyPressed += LoadBox;" and make sure that LoadBox takes the same arguments as KeyPressed? If you're using (object sender, EventArgs e), that might be easier than trying to match Actions.
Feb 02, 2012 at 04:55 PM Jessy
Because I still have to know what the action(method/function) is to put it in a list for connecting. Is there a simpler way to do that?
Feb 02, 2012 at 07:26 PM SpectralEdge
I don't understand what this "list for connecting" is. What you should probably do is take this to Stack Overflow. I'd like you to link to the SO question from here, though.
Feb 02, 2012 at 07:52 PM Jessy
I want to have two lists, one with methods, one with events and allow the user to select an event from the event list and a method(action) from the method list and "connect" them by having the event trigger the method. Action is just a built in c# delegate for pointing to methods.
Feb 02, 2012 at 08:52 PM SpectralEdge
I know what an Action is. If the parameters of the event and Action match, you can use +=. The "new EventHandler" will be unnecessary. If they don't match, then you can wrap the Action in another function, like KeyPressed += keyPressedArgs => LoadBox();. (Of course, you don't want an anonymous method if you're ever going to want to unsubscribe the Action from the event.) Again, this word "list" is confusing.

I don't know if this can help you, but it's possible to implement something similar to the an event handler with Component.BroadcastMessage .
Transform root;
void SendEventOnEnemyDie(Transform enemy){
root.BroadcastMessage("OnEnemyDie", enemy, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
This will call the function OnEnemyDie(Transform enemy) in any script attached to the root object or to any of its children (DontRequireReceiver prevents runtime errors in scripts where the function doesn't exist).
answered Feb 02, 2012 at 04:15 PM
The difficult-to-debug and nonperformant BroadcastMessage is no substitute for what the OP wants to do.
Feb 02, 2012 at 04:57 PM Jessy
That could work in a simple game, but it would be cumbersome and slow for the sheer number of events I need to hook in to.

In the fall of 1995 Baylor University began offering a new option for the general education requirements of all undergraduate degree programs. The Baylor Interdisciplinary Core (BIC) integrates the various academic disciplines into five sequences of courses called The Examined Life, World Cultures, The World of Rhetoric, Social World, and Natural World. Through these course sequences, students complete general education requirements in freshman composition, British, American, and World literature survey, religion, fine arts, introductory social science (e.g., sociology), BA-level laboratory science (e.g., biology), and human performance (our fancy word for physical education). Thus, BIC students do not follow the traditional route for completing their general studies requirements; they take the BIC course sequences in place of regular general studies courses. The BIC curriculum emphasizes critical thinking, active learning, the close reading of primary sources, writing and speaking skills, and the development of a global perspective. Central to the curriculum is a common core of forty-four semester hours of courses that are designed for every degree program in each of the University's undergraduate schools.
Foremost, the sequences provide COHERENCE to learning. In the World Cultures sequence, for example, students begin with the dawn of civilization and work chronologically through the ages to study the culture of various peoples. This course sequence will progress through to the twenty-first century. Because our courses combine disciplines of study, students learn, for example, about medieval monarchies, conquests, and crusades at the same time that they learn about the establishment of the Roman Catholic Church, the literary genius of Chaucer and Boccaccio, the spiritual quest of Augustine, and the age of exploration. In essence, the connections among history, literature, art, religion, philosophy, economics, and music are integrated into each World Cultures course; you are not left trying to make these connections on your own.
Too often, students wonder why they are completing general education courses. The BIC course sequences provide students with a true sense of PURPOSE for their studies. Courses in the BIC build upon one another. They share thematic links and thoughtfully consider the relevance of knowledge to "real life." Examined Life I, for example, pursues the topic of healthy conflict resolution as part of a human being's social wellness--a topic that World of Rhetoric I explores through a study of Sophocles, Frederick Douglass, Henry David Thoreau, and Martin Luther King, Jr. This approach allows you to experience and analyze first-hand the original texts and intellectual tradition that has shaped our modern consciousness.
This emphasis on primary texts necessarily shapes the BIC classroom. BIC courses minimize lecture in favor of discussion, allowing you to be an active and vocal participant in your education. Our pedagogy privileges analysis over memorization and affirms an earnest exchange of ideas among students and with our faculty who, by and large, team-teach their courses. The BIC teaching environment cultivates an enlarged PERSPECTIVE of the world by nurturing students' intellectual curiosity and by exposing them to exemplary faculty from diverse academic disciplines who make connections among multiple domains of knowledge. With pre-medical preparation, a major in Bioinformatics, or the pre-business core, you may find it difficult to take courses in interests that lie outside of your degree plan; in the BIC, you gain exposure to areas of study from schools and departments as diverse as History, Information Systems, Nursing, Economics, Church-State Studies, English, Modern Foreign Languages, Classics, Political Science, Environmental Studies, Educational Psychology, Geology, and Physics.
The BIC also fosters students' sense of and commitment to COMMUNITY. Our students progress through their BIC program as a class; hence, they develop meaningful relationships with both their peers and faculty. Further, our students enjoy a classroom that is comprised of students at the same stage in the college experience: first-year students learn with first-year students, not seniors. As students learn to improve their critical thinking skills as well as their ability to communicate effectively, they do so with colleagues with whom they will learn, laugh, and collaborate for four years. Moreover, they discover new avenues of learning and service together as they study non-Western cultures--a key feature of the BIC curriculum--and reach outside of the University to the wider Waco community through volunteerism.
This CONNECTION to the outside or "real" world is central to the BIC. The program cultivates a global perspective in students and works to prepare them for post-baccalaureate study and/or the job market. Fundamental to this aim is the use of cutting-edge technology as a tool for learning. This component of the BIC program utilizes the Internet to integrate content beyond the classroom. Students access their course materials and program information from the University's online course management system, Blackboard. Students complete online journals, conduct Web research for course term papers and projects, participate in threaded discussions, and produce PowerPoint / Prezi presentations as part of their BIC learning experience. The Core endeavors to expose and educate students in professional technology in order to enrich their University experience while preparing them for their future.
If you desire coherence to your education, purpose in your studies, expansion of your perspective, a sense of community, and connection between the classroom and the world, then you should apply to the Baylor Interdisciplinary Core. Click on the BIC Admissions link to the left to apply.

Overcame all that horsepucky with new hardware.
Recently, the earphone jack works (always) but the iMac looses it's
ability to play through internal speakers . . . any ideas?
Have changed my iMacs name from RALPH to SusieQ.

influences it. To this end, the report provides overall guidance for the systemic reforms it proposes, setting forth six quality aims for the health care system: it should be safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable (see Box 1-1).
Numerous private-sector organizations, the federal and local governments, and communities across the country have launched efforts to redesign the nation's health care system, guided by the vision laid out in the Quality Chasm report (AHRQ, 2004; CMS, 2004; JCAHO, 2004; NCQA, 2004; The Leapfrog Group, 2004). These efforts are not always coordinated to the extent they might be for maximum leverage. And despite what they have accomplished, the system's level of performance remains inadequate, some would say even unjust, given the resources our country expends on health care (Millenson, 2003).
The 1st Annual Crossing the Quality Chasm Summit: A Focus on Communities was an effort by the IOM to bring together and catalyze the various committed and innovative leaders across the country toward a highly targeted purpose: improving care for a selected set of clinical conditions within the Quality Chasm framework. This report serves as a summary of that 2-day event, held January 6–7, 2004. The committee that planned the summit (see Appendix A for biographical sketches) hopes this report will serve to further activate, coordinate, and integrate the quality efforts of the leaders who attended, as well as other reform-minded individuals from around the nation. While the committee is responsible for the overall quality and accuracy of the report as a record of what transpired at the summit, the views contained herein are not necessarily those of the committee. It is also hoped that this summit will be the first of many such annual events bringing together diverse leaders from across the country to further their work in implementing the vision set forth in the Quality Chasm for a 21st-century health care system.
Box 1-1.

Perkins IV requires states and local grantees to offer "career and technical programs of study" that incorporate secondary and postsecondary elements; include coherent and rigorous content aligned with challenging academic standards and relevant career and technical contents in a coordinated, non-duplicative progression of courses that align secondary to postsecondary education; may include opportunity for secondary education students to gain postsecondary education credits through dual or concurrent enrollment programs or other means; and lead to an industry-recognized credential or certificate at the postsecondary level or an associate or baccalaureate degree.
OCTAE's Programs of Study Design Framework identifies 10 key components and corresponding subcomponents that, taken together, support the development and implementation of effective programs of study. Although all 10 components are important, they are neither independent nor of equal priority: State and local program developers must identify the most pressing components to be addressed given particular educational, workforce, and economic contexts.

The Promoting Rigorous Career and Technical Education Programs of Study (RPOS) project assesses the potential contribution that comprehensive, well-formulated programs of study can make to students' educational attainment and post-program success.
The six states participating in this four-year project—Arizona, Kansas, Maryland, Montana, Utah, and Wisconsin—are working to design and implement rigorous programs of study (RPOS) that incorporate the 10 key components of effective programs identified within OCTAE's Program of Study Design Framework. Project work is focused on three local education agencies (LEAs) within each state, which include an urban, suburban, and rural school district, as well as partnering postsecondary institutions.
First-year efforts (2010–11) focused on assisting states and LEAs in implementing and/or strengthening Framework components that were identified as missing or in need of improvement. Based on the results of a gap analysis, states prioritized program areas in need of attention and created improvement strategies to address pressing needs. States subsequently submitted baseline demographic and post-program outcome data for 12th-grade students enrolled in the participating LEAs. These first-year data, which correspond to the 2009–10 academic year (i.e., the year preceding the start of project work), include information on students who were concentrators in programs selected for the RPOS project, as well as a comparison population that included 12th-grade CTE concentrators and all other 12th-grade students enrolled in the LEA.
Second-year activities (2011–12) have centered on strengthening states' capacity to report valid and reliable data. The project team has supported states in establishing common definitions of RPOS; selecting comparison students within local sites; constructing consistent reporting measures across and within states; and implementing uniform methods for collecting data on RPOS students and comparison groups. States again collected data for 12th-grade students enrolled in participating LEAs. These 2010–11 academic year data document the characteristics and immediate post-program experiences of high school seniors who graduated in 2011.
|Project Year
|Measurement Year
|RPOS Population Description
|Pre-treatment: Concentrators in CTE programs that were subsequently selected for RPOS inclusion
|Program Year 1: Concentrators in the RPOS program during the implementation of improvement strategies
|Program Year 2: Concentrators in RPOS programs who experienced one full year of improvement strategies
|Program Year 3: Concentrators in RPOS programs who experienced two full years of improvement strategies
Annual reports are intended to assess the characteristics and post-program educational experiences of students who achieve concentrator status in their state-identified RPOS. Over the course of the project, the study will seek to answer three primary research questions:
To address the first two questions, the research team collected aggregate data on all 12th grade students enrolled in participating LEAs within each state during the 2009–10 and 2010–11 academic years. A first year report (PDF, 422 KB) uses data from the 2009–10 academic year to describe the characteristics and outcomes of 12th-grade students enrolled in CTE programs that subsequently were selected for the RPOS project. A second year report (PDF, 423, KB) extends the analysis, documenting the characteristics and immediate post-program experiences of 12th-grade students who graduated in 2011 after participating in the first full year of the program.

The quote you chose: "Unfortunately, there is no point to distributing music in 24-bit/192kHz format. Its playback fidelity is slightly inferior to 16/44.1 or 16/48, and it takes up 6 times the space."
Doesn't actually say why. It's just called out as this guy's opinion - and everyone is supposed to agree with it because your friend claims "he knows his shit".
How about some details as to *why* it doesn't improve the actual quality or why the lower bit rates actually perform better?
I contend they all sound fine in mono through my iPhone speaker in a noisy car... :)
But rate escalation is stupid for most users who will never have the quality of equipment to benefit from the sampling. But that's my opinion - I am not being quoted as an authority on the matter.
Details count.

Maybe it was postseason jitters, but Dakota Ridge didn't play like a No. 2 seed, at least not early on, while Lincoln, most definitely, wasn't a No. 7 seed.
Yet, the host Eagles found a way in their 5A boys basketball state tournament game thanks to some timely 3-point shooting and four clutch free throws down the stretch to pull out a 55-48 victory Feb. 28 at Dakota Ridge High School.
Littleton residents looking to green up their yards can once again take advantage of the city's Spring Tree Program.
For 20 years the city has been selling a variety of trees to residents to help create a diverse urban forest, said David Flaig, Littleton's landscape manager. Since the program started, the city has sold more than 5,000 trees.

For the Courier
The Chatfield girls' basketball team follows a simple proverb: If at first you don't succeed, trey and trey again.
A three-peat in the 5A Jeffco League was out of the question, but the Chatfield boys basketball team had plenty of incentives for its next-to-last regular-season game against Columbine: a likely third-place finish and the avoidance of being swept by its primary rival.
Missions accomplished.
DENVER — Wrestlers like Andrew Erickson are the reason why Chatfield Senior High wrestling coach Paul Peronard coaches. Seeing somebody such as Erickson, a senior who had never wrestled before he came to Chatfield, put the work in, despite injury after injury, and finally get to the 5A state tournament is fulfilling.
"Andrew is a hard worker. He's a kid who walked out and wrestled his first wrestling match as a ninth-grader. He had no youth experience, (but) he's come a long way," Peronard said.
DENVER — Littleton High School wrestling coach Heath Burton can look at Poe Di and Aron Pino Valenzuela and be proud that the juniors represented the Lions at the 4A state championships.
He should be because, after all, it's been more than two decades since the school produced a state qualifier and even longer since it had a state champion. For the record, the last — and only — state champion to come out of Littleton High School was Steve Smedley in 1966.
Jeffco school board member Julie Williams cast the board's only vote for a resolution supporting state legislation that would permit the carrying of concealed weapons in public schools.
"Repealing the gun-free school zone act will empower our nation's schoolteachers, faculty and law-abiding parents to ensure the safety and well-being of our children," Williams said at the Feb. 5 school board meeting.
Jeffco Open Space is working with the city of Arvada in hopes of creating a county shooting range on property owned by the municipality.
"What we're saying is that we'd like to be at the table," said Amy Ito, Jeffco Open Space's manager of planning and development.
"The timing seems ideal. This was our No. 1 site," Ito said.
Chargers' Erickson headed to 5A state championships
BROOMFIELD — Chatfield's Andrew Erickson is headed to the 5A state wrestling championships.
Erickson (31-11) placed fourth at 160 pounds in the 5A Region 1 tournament, held Feb. 13-14 at Legacy High School.
GOLDEN — After coming oh-so-close to qualifying for recent 5A state wrestling tournaments, Poe Di and Aron Pino Valenzuela were poised to take advantage of Littleton's drop to 4A this season.
They did so to near-perfection by advancing to the finals of the 4A Region 4 tournament Feb. 13-14 at Golden High School. They'll head to their first state meet as the region's No. 2 seeds after bowing to top seeds in the 132- and 285-pound divisions.

A basic understanding of the principles of good design (such as contrast, unity, and balance) is the foundation for creating beautiful websites. In this course, Sue Jenkins explains design aesthetics in simple terms, and shows how to incorporate the principles of design in specific ways that improve your site. Learn how to adjust adjacent colors to add contrast, create depth with texture, incorporate movement, and use repeating shapes, patterns, and borders to unify your design. Then, in the final chapter, learn about special issues designers should address in their web layouts, such as responsive design for mobile devices, accessibility, and originality.
Being a web designer is more than just creating designs. One must also have an awareness of special considerations beyond two dimensional design. The first concept will examine in this section on foundational topics and web design is CSS for responsive web. You may have already heard the terms 'mobile-first' and 'responsive web' in relation to web design. These concepts promote the idea of designing for smaller devices before desktop computers as well as creating website layouts that adjust when viewed on different devices.
Thus, today's designer must now design responsive websites that adapt to fit the view ports of a variety of devices. At the heart of a responsive web design is a set of custom CSS styles specifically created for different size devices. For instance, we've got smart phones, tablets and touch computers, laptops and ultrabooks, desktops, and internet-ready TVs as well as gaming devices. There are many different ways to construct a responsive website.
For instance, you can develop it using Adobe Dreamweaver's fluid grid layout shown here. Or you can build it from scratch using something like Twitter Bootstrap. At their cores, each of these methods relies on HTML5, CSS3 and Media queries which hide and show content by device. For example, the main content block might require four separate CSS styles, one each for the desktop. Tablet, mobile portrait and mobile landscape.
In most cases, you begin by building the mobile version first and then scaling up for tablets and then desktop displays. Typically, in a responsive layout, all the images and text will scale, navigation buttons will shrink or change format. And the number of columns will expand or collapse as needed. To see how a responsive website works, view any responsive website in a browser and then shrink the browser window to approximate the size of a tablet and then a smart phone.
So, that's roughly tablet size. And you can see how things are shifting. And linearizing. We can go really narrow, like so. As you can see, the content reflows to fit the different viewports. lynda.com offers several courses in responsive web design including Creating a Responsive Web Design, Responsive Design Fundamentals, Applied Responsive Design, and Up and Running with Bootstrap. You can also find additional popular training on responsive design from lynda.com on their website.
One of the reasons responsive design is more challenging than traditional fix with design, is that you must now consider how the site will be viewed on different devices. If you can conceive of this flexible adaptive space during the design phase of a project. You can save yourself a lot of time and frustration when you begin to build your responsive website.
