Ice skating with kids can be so much fun! Some rinks have tools to assist kids that don't know how to skate yet, but I have to say that I prefer holding their little hands and skating with them! It's such a special activity to do together, get some exercise, fresh air (if you choose an outdoor rink)… and then cozy up for a warm drink afterwards! I have listed the indoor rinks, then the outdoor ones. If skate rental is available, I recommend calling the rink ahead of time to make sure they have your child's size, especially with the rinks in the city which sometimes only have larger sizes.

3 Responses to "Ice Skating Rinks (indoor and outdoor)"
Love this, thank you! I have two other suggestions – Naperville has outdoor ice skating near the river walk. Also, Wheaton has quite a few ice skating options:
Seven Gables – on Winner's Cup Circle Map
Rathje Park – Roosevelt Rd. & Delles Rd.
C.L. Herrick Park – Herrick St. & Armbrust St.
Kelly Park (has man made ice rink) – 1100 Main St.
Northside Park – 1300 N. West St. this is a beautiful park, which has a warming shelter, concession area, as well as sledding.
Here is a link to all of the outdoor winter activities in Wheaton including relevant information regarding hours, fee, etc.
Thanks again for your website!

Puyo Pop Fever PSP

- Most clicked
Official Playstation 2 Magazine UKThe gameplay's hardly moved on in more than a decade, but simplicity is the key to Puyo Pop's appeal. An absorbing if not original addition to the handheld ranks. [June 2006, p.86]
AceGamezIf you have ever been enticed by the simple yet compelling gameplay of Puyo Pop, this latest PSP version is a great way of continuing the habit. But let me warn you now - it's highly infectious!
A pretty standard affair. If you're a connoisseur of block games or are just on the market for one and don't particularly care which, then this one is certainly as good as the next.
The single player experience is good enough to practice on before you go into battle with your friends, but the battle itself is where the action is at.
This version of Puyo Pop feels like nothing more than a last ditch attempt to squeeze some money out of a game that has been converted to every platform available in the last two years. It adds nothing - unlike the 8 player mode offered by the DS.
A solid, deceptively intricate puzzler that is best enjoyed against human opposition.
PSM2 Magazine UKIt's a solid puzzle game that doesn't do anything very wrong. Sadly, nor does it do anything we haven't seen before, and at thirty notes you'd be much better off with top PSP puzzler "Lumines." [July 2006, p.108]
If you like your puzzlers and/or have a soft spot for Japanese/English curios, then you'll probably quite enjoy this. But as a full-price PSP game it does leave a bit to be desired.
As far as block or blob-based puzzlers go, Puyo Pop Fever is perfectly adequate, but the PSP happens to have a few better alternatives: "Lumines" offers a more classy experience, while "Koloomn" is a more original title, and one that will take every brain cell to master.

Tepco Robots Find High Radiation Levels in Reactor Buildings
Robots sent into three buildings at Japan's crippled Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear station detected radiation too toxic for humans after the plant operator set out a plan to end the crisis in six to nine months.
Measurements show one hour inside the No. 3 reactor building would expose humans to more than one-fifth of the radiation Japan has said is the most workers can endure in a year, the atomic safety agency said yesterday. The buildings were damaged by explosions in the days after a magnitude-9 quake and tsunami on March 11 knocked out cooling equipment, sparking the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl in 1986.
A sustained drop in radiation at the Fukushima Dai-Ichi station may be achieved within three months, Tokyo Electric Power Co. said in a statement laying out its plans. Following that, a cold shutdown, where core reactor temperatures fall below 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit), may be achieved within six months, it said.
"Tepco needs to be faster than it has outlined on two particular areas: circulating the radioactive water back into the pressure vessels and covering the reactor buildings to prevent radiation releases," Tadashi Narabayashi, a professor of nuclear engineering at Hokkaido University said today.
Shares of Tepco, as the company is called, fell 4.3 percent to 447 yen today in Tokyo. The stock is down about 80 percent since the quake and tsunami, which left almost 28,000 people dead or missing.
Robot Readings
Two iRobot Corp. robots sent into reactor buildings on April 17 to check whether humans can reenter them found radiation levels as high as 49 millisieverts per hour inside the No. 1 unit, and up to 57 millisieverts in the No. 3 unit, the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency said.
The cumulative maximum level for nuclear workers was raised to 250 millisieverts from 100 millisieverts by Japan's health ministry on March 15. Exposure totaling 100 millisieverts over a year is the lowest level at which any increase in cancer is evident, according to the World Nuclear Association in London.
Another robot was sent into the reactor No. 2 building yesterday and recorded levels of 4.1 millisieverts per hour, spokesman Tetsuya Terasawa told reporters today. That level wouldn't prevent workers going into the building, another spokesman said.
Exposure Limits
"We judge the radiation limit by the amount, importance and hours of the work, as well as accumulated exposure of each worker," spokesman Shogo Fukuda said. "We wouldn't hesitate to send workers in at a level of 4.1 millisieverts per hour."
Fuel pellets in the No. 1, 2 and 3 reactors may have melted at the plant, the nuclear safety agency said today, in the first official confirmation of damage to the cores.
"It is believed that the fuel pellets in the reactors have melted," the agency said in a report. "The extent of the melting cannot be confirmed until the fuel rods have been removed."
In the next three months, Tepco plans to fill the reactor containment vessels at the No. 1 and No. 3 units with water, the company said in its statement on April 17. The utility will seal the vessel of the No. 2 reactor, which is likely damaged, before flooding it.
"If we flood the damaged vessel, the leak of contaminated water will increase," Tepco Vice President Sakae Muto told reporters the same day. "We will continue injecting water with care and monitor the volume of water leaked."
Leaking Water
The water pumped so far has overflowed into basements and trenches, with some of it leaking into the ocean.
Tepco started draining highly radioactive water from trenches around the No. 2 reactor at about 10 a.m. today, spokesman Osamu Yokokura said.
The power utility plans to move 10 million liters (2.6 million gallons) of the contaminated water to a waste treatment unit and expects to complete the transfer in 26 days, Junichi Matsumoto, an official at Tokyo Electric, told reporters earlier today.
"Once Tepco completes draining the radioactive water from the building of the No. 2 reactor, engineers may find the damaged area of containment vessel and seal it," said Kazuya Idemitsu, a professor of nuclear engineering at Kyushu University.
Three to six months after the initial phase of its plan, Tepco will attempt a cold shutdown of reactors No. 1, 2 and 3, the company said. Reactors 4, 5 and 6 were shut at the time of the disaster.
The utility will also cover the No. 1, 3 and 4 reactor buildings as a temporary measure to reduce radiation emissions after the structures were damaged by hydrogen blasts last month, according to the statement.
"Tepco should cover buildings as soon as possible, at least before Japan's typhoon season, because strong wind and rain may cause spillage of radioactive water from spent fuel pools," Narabayashi at Hokkaido University said.

Great set of simple tips. Find your passion, offer a story of empowerment related to it and focus your speech on serving a greater purpose. I like it
How to Get a Standing Ovation
Be honest. If you're a speaker, you crave one. Everyone else gets one, why shouldn't you? And those invitations to speak are going to flow much more often if you can say, "She's greeted with rapturous audiences giving standing ovations wherever she goes!"
So how do you get a standing ovation? Three simple steps. Simple, but not easy to do well.
1. Speak on a topic you're passionate about. Ultimately, it comes down to passion, because speakers unconsciously share their emotions with the audience and you need to care to make the audience care enough to stand up at the end. So pick a topic you really, really care about. Or don't bother to speak.
2. Tell a personal story of overcoming hardship. The most common mistake speakers make is to skip over the bad news, their imperfections, or the rough spots in their story. Yet that's precisely what audiences love. You must give your audience a story arc, one that shows you facing and overcoming some challenge – but really struggling with it, not just taking it as another hurdle among many you easily surmount. Character is revealed in conflict, struggle, and difficulty. If you're not willing to show us that, we won't care.
3. At the end, turn the speech over to the audience. I mean something quite specific here. That is, at the end you must share your cause, or universalize it, or find some way for the audience to join in. Together we can….. Find some way to give the audience a chance to jump to their feet ready to do something to make the world better. If you really want a Standing O, you need to make the end of the speech about the audience's role, not yours.
8 Comments on "How to Get a Standing Ovation"
These are all good points. One more is to have a clear ending. Letting things trail off will not end well. Make it clear to people the speach is over and they are way more likely to clap, stand up, etc!

Walk on the plateau
After our visit to Djiguibambo we walked back on the plateau.
It was a nice and easy walk, even in the sunshine, because of a little breeze. So we enjoyed. Walking here was much easier than the walk in the sand down in the plains.
- Hiking and Walking
Djiguibambo, decorated architecture
There was so much to see in the village of Djiguibambo. So take your time to look around, as we did.
Not every hut or granary looks the same. Some mud-walls of these structures were nicely decorated. Maybe the decorations have a meaning, but I don't know.
- Architecture
Djiguibambo, village-life
I really enjoyed to walk around in the village of Djiguibambo, while having a look at the daily life in the village. The people we met, were friendly and the children were as curious as we were ourselves.
- Architecture
- Historical Travel
Djiguibambo, granaries
In the Dogon villages you can see granaries for the storage of maizeand other crops.
The walls of the granaries are made of mud and they have conical straw roofs like the huts.
The granaries stand on stone legs to protect the maize and other crops from mice.
- Hiking and Walking
- Architecture
- Historical Travel
Djiguibambo, view at the village
The silhouette of the villages in the Dogon Country is characterized by the conical roofs of the huts, but also by the conical forms of the mud architecture buildings.
These organic forms looked really wonderful.
- Historical Travel
- Hiking and Walking
Dogon Country: Djiguibambo arrival
The walls of the houses in the Dogon Country are made of rock or mudbricks and have roofs made of millet stalks.
By using these natural materials for centuries the villages form a perfect unity with their surroundings.
At arrival I was really excited by the first sight of this village. It was as if nothing has changed for centuries.
- Hiking and Walking
- Historical Travel
Dogon Country: Djiguibambo at the plateau
Djiguibambo is a village at the plateau in the Dogon Country. From Telli at the feet of the escarpment it is a seven KM walk to Djiguibambo.
After a walk through the soft sand of the plain you have to climb to reach the plateau. On the plateau itself, it is a rather easy walk because of the steady rocky surface.
- Hiking and Walking
- Historical Travel
This is a common tree in this area. They do ropes and clothes with this tree.
A legend says that this tree was punished by a God to have its roots on the air and the branches under the earth, for being so vanish.
Es un arbol muy comun en esta area. De su corteza se hacen cuerdas y tejidos.
Una leyenda dice que un dios castigo a este arbol a tener las raices en el aire y la copa bajo tierra por ser demasiado vanidoso.
- Backpacking
Djguibambo, wooden door
In the Dogon villages you see very nicely decorated wooden doors.
So you can see doors decorated with animals and human figures.
These Dogon doors are very famous.
- Architecture
- Historical Travel
- Arts and Culture
Djiguibambo, architecture
I am a lover of mud-architecture.
Also in this area and village I loved the architectural forms in relation with the use of the local and natural materials. They formed a perfect unity together.
- Architecture
Djiguibambo, building with oven
Except the round huts with conical roofs and the granaries, I saw also this square building, built of rocks.
There was a oven inside, but there was nobody, who could tell me the use of this building.

5 Breakout Stocks: Must-See Charts
(JADE), which specializes in the colored jewelry segment, it also offers high-end pieces set in yellow gold, white gold or sterling silver and adorned with colored stones, diamonds, pearls and precious stones. This stock has been trading off a bit so far in 2012, with shares down by 7.8%.If you look at the chart for Jade International, you'll notice that this stock has just started to challenge its 50-day moving average of $1.74 a share and its trending just below its 200-day moving average of $1.79 a share. What's interesting about JADE here is that the volume today expanded dramatically with 480,000 shares traded versus its three-month average volume of 51,373 shares. Shares of JADE are now moving within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in JADE once it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $1.75 to $1.83 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that registers near or above its three-month average action of 51,373 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then JADE will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $1.98 to $2.05 a share. Any high-volume move above $2.05 will then put $2.41 to $2.45 into focus for shares of JADE. Traders can look to buy JADE off any weakness and simply use a stop that sits close to some near-term support at $1.65 a share. One can also buy off strength once JADE takes out those breakout levels with volume and then simply use a stop right below its 50-day at $1.74 a share.Jade International Another stock that's moving within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade is Jade International

Famed Clinton pollster Stanley Greenberg is, I think, correct, but for the wrong reasons when he says that Democrats have lost major elections in recent years because they have not "run with conviction."
It's true that they haven't run with conviction, but it's not because they lack convictions as much as that they can't risk being open about them.
Greenberg said the Democrats' major weakness today is that "they do not know what they stand for, they don't know their policy direction, they don't know their underlying values, they don't know who they fight for."
As a Democrat, Greenberg can't really mean all of this, because if he did, he might as well be saying that there is no reason for his party to exist. If candidates of a major party truly don't have core beliefs and "don't know their underlying values," is there really any point to their participation, other than the raw acquisition of power?
The reality is that Democrats do know what they believe , they just don't know if they can afford to "stand for" those things in an election for national office. They do know their underlying values, but they don't know whether they can be completely open about them without risking an electoral bloodbath. So on some issues they vacillate, saying one thing to certain people -- their rabid left-wing constituency groups -- and different things to others. Whether it's foreign policy, social issues or economic ones, Democrats have a tough time unmasking themselves.
Their kaleidoscope of positions on the Iraq War is a case study in this phenomenon. Don't get me wrong. Most of them, in their gut, were adamantly opposed to attacking Iraq either to depose Saddam or to eradicate his presumed WMD. So they definitely knew what they believed and initially said so, but ultimately did an about-face when intelligence data indicated WMD, and, more importantly, the public became supportive of the president's position.
But as soon as antiwar candidates in their own party, like Howard Dean, started gaining traction, they had to revert to their original position. In order to justify their otherwise inexplicable reversal they had to manufacture excuses for their earlier support of the war resolution, such as the whopper that President Bush promised not to attack until he'd further exhausted diplomatic efforts at the United Nations and with France, Germany and Russia. To further save face with their bellicose antiwar base, they concocted the now familiar fantasy that President Bush had lied about the WMD intelligence, to which they manifestly had equal access when they took their original stand in support of the war.

The book was Chip and Dan Heath's first book titled "Made to Stick." Since then I have been looking forward to reading their other works. It is no different for their newest work titled "Decisive."

Re: teacake does Stargate: punch it
Yeah I thought that is what it said, Chronos Dio. Thanks for the link Skywalker, very interesting!
: There were no lizards in this episode. There was however a great example of how to use flashbacks to flesh out important character background. SG:U, take note. Though that is not completely fair as the background of a Jaffa on a journey out of cultdom is always going to be more interesting than the background of some bureaucrat.
Still I've seen enough lameass flashback fillers (I'm looking at you Lost) to be rather taken aback at how powerful and interesting Teal'c's story was here. Excellent! And great acting on Judge's part too, his impassive face looked young, naive, deceitful.. this man has some muscle control!

RELEASE: Explaining the Gender Wage Gap
Contact: Madeline Meth
Phone: 202.741.6277
Washington, D.C. — At an event hosted by the White House, the Department of Labor, and the Center for American Progress that examined Boston's efforts to eliminate the city's wage gap, the Center for American Progress released a new analysis that explains the controversy surrounding the commonly cited statistic that women earn only 77 cents for every dollar earned by men.
In "Explaining the Gender Wage Gap," author Sarah Jane Glynn clarifies how the wage gap is calculated, why the numbers are not all the same, and what causes are driving the commonly cited 77-cent figure.
The report sheds light on the fact that one of the largest driving factors of the gender wage gap is that men and women, on average, work in different industries and occupations; this accounts for up to 49.3 percent of the wage gap, according to some estimates. Women are much more likely than men to be clustered in just a few occupations, with nearly half of all working women—44.4 percent—employed in just 20 occupations, including secretaries and administrative assistants, registered nurses, and school teachers. Meanwhile, only about one-third—34.8 percent—of men are employed in the top 20 occupations for male workers, including truck drivers, managers, and supervisors.
As the analysis explains, women not only work in different occupations, but they also work fewer hours in the workplace: 35 minutes less per day than men, among full-time working men and women. What accounts for this difference in time? Interestingly, when home and child care work is taken into account, the time gap looks very different. Employed mothers with a child under age 6 spend about 47 more minutes per day caring for and helping household members, compared to employed fathers. Parents of older children also have a caring time gap, though it is smaller—about 22 minutes per day. The data suggest that women's reduction in work hours can be accounted for when taking into consideration the fact that women provide more unpaid care in the home, at least in homes with children.
"Some critics use the fact that women work fewer hours to fuel their argument that the wage gap exists because of women's choices," said Glynn. "But the fact is, in real life, women work the way they do for reasons that, for all but the most privileged, have very little to do with choosing purely between work and family life. Instead, women tend to put in fewer hours, on average, because they are expected to care for their families."
In fact, there is a cyclical relationship between women's wages and unpaid care work in the home. When women earn less to begin with, often due to occupational segregation, it may make economic sense for them to be the ones to scale back to provide family care for children or aging relatives. In turn, that reduction in job hours and job tenure both lowers women's wages overall and contributes to the cultural notion that women are not as devoted to employment once they have children. Mothers, on average, have lower earnings than women without children, and while some of this gap may be due to working fewer hours, at least some of it persists even when productivity is taken into account. The unfortunate truth is that mothers are perceived as less dedicated employees after having children because many employers think mothers will be distracted by their home lives. At the same time, men tend to receive pay increases after becoming fathers, in part because fathers are assumed to be the breadwinners for their families even though most married men have working partners.

You ask about why hurricanes rotate counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere like Galaxies. Very insightfull observation as I have always believed that space is just like our seas! My answer would be that the portion of space that we see is the northen part of the solar system and that if we could see the Southern part, we would indeed see the galaxies turn clockwise! I believe everything in the universe, including the universe is polarized! But what do I know? Oh by the way if E = MC squared wouldn't E also = -M times-C squared ? Thus proof for Anti-matter? Maybe we could travel through space faster by giving either a negative or a postitive charge to the ship and letting the universe do part of the pulling! Boy, that was deep, time to go to bed

Sinkholes and the Engineering and Environmental Impacts of Karst
Two-dimensional Electrical Resistivity Imaging (ERI) methods provide a powerful tool to assess subsurface karst conditions and bedrock fractures acting as primary geologic controls on groundwater movement in lower Paleozoic carbonate bedrock (Ketona Dolomite and Conasauga Formation) underlying parts of the United States Steel Corporation (U. S. Steel) Fairfield Works near Birmingham, Alabama. The strata are structurally complex and have experienced almost total destruction of primary porosity and permeability. Regionally, fractures in the carbonate rocks provide conditions that are conducive to the circulation of groundwater and formation of karst features such as cavities, cavernous porosity and pinnacles. As part of a facility-wide groundwater investigation, karsted bedrock was examined via literature review and aerial photographic analysis to identify features indicative of primary controls on groundwater movement. Targets thus identified were screened and verified by field geologic mapping and by two-dimensional (2-D) Electrical Resistivity Imaging (ERI) methods selected as a particularly flexible tool for deployment over the variety of structural and lithologic settings expected at the facility. The ERI results proved very successful for detecting and delineating karst features in carbonate bedrock including solution enlarged joints, bedrock pinnacles and voids. The success of the 2-D ERI method in detecting water-bearing joints, fractures, and faults is attributed to a large resistivity contrast between the high resistivity carbonate bedrock and the lower resistivity formation water, associated clays, and gouge typically contained within the fractures. The ERI results were used to confirm the subsurface orientation of features at depth and to select the optimum location for emplacement of groundwater monitoring installations.

Camera Enforcement
Speed Cameras
> Ohio Senator Moves To Rescue Speed Cameras
Ohio Senator Moves To Rescue Speed Cameras
Bill imposing mild restrictions on speed cameras would save Ohio ticketing program from serious legal threats.
Fearing the popularity of House-passed legislation and a
pending state Supreme Court ruling
that could curtail the use of speed cameras, Ohio state Senator Bill Seitz (R-Cincinnati) introduced legislation that would rescue the photo ticketing industry from its troubles. The state Senate Government Oversight and Reform Committee began consideration of his bill on Wednesday.
Last June, the state House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed House Bill 69, banning the use of automated ticketing machines with the limited exception of use in a school zone by a police officer when children are actually present (
view bill
). To head off this effort, the Seitz bill mimics the police officer requirement of the House proposal but allows speed camera tickets to be issued anywhere in the state as long as the ticket is for an alleged speed of 6 MPH over the limit in a school zone and 10 MPH elsewhere.
On Tuesday the Traffic Safety Coalition, a front group for Redflex Traffic Systems, the Australian camera vendor, appeared at the Ohio Statehouse with the Ohio Municipal League to oppose the Seitz bill as a "virtual ban" on the use of speed cameras. Representatives of cities with camera programs insist mandating that police officers be present where photo radar is used would make the camera programs lose too much money.
In Washington, DC, the speed camera vendor pays off-duty police officers to sit in mobile speed camera cars in a program that has raised hundreds of millions of dollars for city coffers. Rank-and-file officers are more likely to back photo enforcement duty which comes with a time-and-a-half payment bonus and no responsibilities. A Redflex lobbyist admitted in 2008 that having "operators" in mobile speed camera vans was just for show
because the systems are fully automated
. This week, however, Redflex insists any interference in municipal affairs is unwelcome.
"Leaders in more than a dozen Ohio communities have used their right to local control by voting to keep their roads safe by installing safety cameras and they are having great results," Ohio's Redflex lobbyists said in a letter to state senators.
Residents in a half-dozen Ohio communities took to the ballot box to reject the decision of their leaders to install red light cameras and speed cameras. Camera bans were enacted in
Chillicothe, Heath
Garfield Heights
, and
East Cleveland
If the state House and Senate cannot agree on a solution, no changes will be made to existing photo enforcement practices unless the state Supreme Court weighs in on the matter. A copy of the Seitz bill is available in a 130K PDF file at the source link below.

text: 1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data f(x) = {x^2 [tex]x \in Q[/tex] -x^2 [tex]x \in R/Q [/tex] At what points is f continuous? 2. Relevant equations continuity: for every [tex]\epsilon > 0 [/tex] there exists [tex]\delta > 0 d(f(x),f(p)) < \epsilon[/tex] for all points [tex]x\inE[/tex] for which d(x,p) < [tex]\delta[/tex] 3. The attempt at a solution Alright my initial thought was that it would not be continuous at any point in Q, because for any two rationals there is an irrational between them (this is correct?), but then it would be continuous at all irrationals from a theorem (4.6 in Rudin) for [tex]p\in Q[/tex], lim(x-> p) f(x) = -p^2 [tex]\neq[/tex] p^2 = f(p) However, then this function is continuous at irrationals. For [tex]p\in R/Q[/tex], lim(x-> p) f(x) = -p^2 = f(p) is this reasoning sound ok?

Skaneateles The Skaneateles Area Chamber of Commerce recently welcomed two new members and two re-elected members to its board of directors at the first board meeting of the year on Jan. 18.
Thomas J. Grant, of Welch Allyn, and Rita Trenti, of the Inn at the Finger Lakes, have joined the board for three-year terms, succeeding departing members Rita Drake, of the Whispering Winds Motel, and Mary Jane Fogerty, of The UPS Store.
Sandi Mulconry of Group M Communications and Elaine Slater-Kogler have been re-elected to the board of directors, each for a second three-year term.
Thomas Grant returns to the Chamber board of directors as vice president after a three-year leave of absence, during which time his job as director of marketing operations with Welch Allyn took him to Geneva, Switzerland. He previously served for one year on the board.
"I feel great about coming back home, and am very excited to see that the village of Skaneateles is still the same as when we left basically — some things are good when they don't change," Grant said. "I have only one meeting under my belt so far, so I'll be in learning mode for the first few months, of course. Since I left, the board has accomplished a lot."
Grant, who has more than 20 years' experience in marketing, will co-chair the board's marketing committee, which he said he hopes to leverage to help the Chamber continue to market itself and its member businesses effectively.
"The board has a great group of individuals that are passionate about Skaneateles and are always looking to constantly improve. It's a good situation," he said.
Rita Trenti, marketing director of Inn at the Finger Lakes in Auburn, will be representing the lodging industry as well as Auburn businesses. She will co-chair the board's Membership Council.

I tried validating the page http://www.afwings.net/mathml.htm
The MathML markup there is
<math display='block'>
<mn>2</mn><mi linebreak="badbreak">x</mi>
<mspace linebreakstyle='before' indentalign='left' linebreak='newline'/>
The validator reported 3 errors; the first one is a real one (linebreak in an mi), but the other two are:
Error: Attribute linebreakstyle not allowed on element mspace at this point.
From line 21, column 7; to line 21, column 78
ac>↩ <mspace linebreakstyle='before' indentalign='left' linebreak='newline'/>↩
Error: Attribute indentalign not allowed on element mspace at this point.
From line 21, column 7; to line 21, column 78
ac>↩ <mspace linebreakstyle='before' indentalign='left' linebreak='newline'/>↩
According to the MathML 3.0 spec, both linebreak and indentalign attributes are valid in mspace.
(Cc'ing David Carlisle)
David, error in the Relax NG MathML schema? Or did I maybe mess up something in the integration of it into the HTML5 schema?
(In reply to comment #1)
> (Cc'ing David Carlisle)
> David, error in the Relax NG MathML schema? Or did I maybe mess up something
> in the integration of it into the HTML5 schema?
Sorry I messed up. The schema is extracted automatically from the attribute syntax tables in the specification. But mspace, in addition to its own table of attributes, has the remark
mspace also accepts the indentation attributes described in Section 188.8.131.52.3 Indentation attributes.
The extraction code can cope with such special cases but only when I notice them and add a clause to the extractor.
Note however that covers indentalign which should be valid but not (as written) linebreakstyle which is not in the referenced 220.127.116.11.3 but the earlier 22.214.171.124.2 Linebreaking attributes. I believe that is intentional but will flag this with the working group before changing the schema. Since mspace here is an invisible marker just recording the line break, allowing linebreakstyle=before wouldn't really add anything as it would presumably act the same as linebreakstyle=after.
Sorry I will get an update to you as soon as possible. It also means I think that thee are some coverage gaps to be filled in the mathml test suite which I should fix at same time as I am sure I validated all the tests that were intended to be valid, which should have picked up attributes missing from the schema.
(In reply to comment #2)
OK so as far as the validator I'll the push a change out after I get it from you. (Right now I'm working on trying to make the HTML parser less strict about "ambiguous ampersands" since the spec relaxed the requirements on that a while back...)
(In reply to comment #3)
This has been fixed in the schema in the Math CVS/website area as noted in
In addition to the change in indentation attributes the schema has one other change since the version incorporated into validator.nu originally relating to an edge case involving the regexp for negative values in attribute syntax. I didn't bother asking for that to be pushed to validator.nu at th etime, but it would make sense to incorporate that now as well to get the schema back in sync. See
(In reply to comment #4)
Thanks David. I'll take a look at this this week but may not be able to land the change and get it deployed to the validator until next week.

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ISSUE: Ethics Commission system for routing out political corruption doesn't work, but it could easily be fixed
The e-mails were among hundreds of documents included in response to a Sunshine Ordinance public information request the Guardian submitted to the Ethics Commission in February. The assortment of documents relating to the contractor contribution ban revealed just how difficult it is for the average person to discern whether any entities striking deals with the city are at the same time trying to curry favor with the politicians who approve their contracts.
In 2006, a batch of reforms were approved to tighten restrictions on campaign contributions from major city contractors and require filing disclosure forms. Intended to point a floodlight on pay-to-play practices, the rules were championed by former Ethics Commissioner Joe Lynn, who died late last year.
Since it was established in 2006, however, the law has seen neither steady enforcement nor routine compliance from elected officials, documents show. The Mayor's Office, for example, did not start filing the forms until April 2009, a month after critical media reports pointed out that few city departments were in compliance. While many more have started filing regularly, it appears that certain state agencies covered by the law — including the Treasure Island Development Authority (TIDA) — have not.
Nor does the Ethics Commission itself seem focused on ferreting out potential violators. "I am reluctant to ask my auditors or enforcement staff to review [contract disclosure] filings and compare them against campaign filings because the sheer amount of data will make the search wasteful and likely fruitless," St. Croix wrote in a memo to his staff last October.
At the same time, attempts have been made to scale back the scope of the law, based on the argument that it is difficult to enforce. St. Croix's memo recommended that the contribution ban not apply to contractors who deal with state agencies such as TIDA or the Redevelopment Agency, which are controlled by mayoral appointees and oversee development contracts worth millions of dollars. "Although city elective officers appoint some members of those bodies, city officials rarely have any involvement with those agencies' contracts," he argued.
Asked if these suggestions will be discussed formally anytime soon, St. Croix was doubtful. "Unfortunately, even though we think they're necessary, it's going to be a very difficult sell at the Board [of Supervisors]," he said. "Even though we think we're fixing a problem, it looks like you're rolling back reform, and that's not popular."
On the eve of an election season featuring hotly contested seats on the Board of Supervisors, the Democratic County Central Committee, and other high-profile local and statewide offices, the relatively arcane archive of the contractor disclosure forms stored away at the Ethics Commission might get more attention. Are major corporations that do business with the city scratching the backs of politicians who want to advance their political careers to keep the wheels greased for their own business ambitions?
Without a user-friendly, functional system for tracking contracts and comparing them against campaign contributions, it's tough to say.

text: NA2 is quite potent, so I would start off with "less is more" until you get your process nailed down. Let's put it this way - I only use 1 drop of the stock dilution for an 8x10 (roughly 12-14 drops Palladium and 12-14 drops FeOx) when dealing with a fairly flat negative. YMMV, so experiment.
