New in Windows 7, Jump Lists take you right to the documents, pictures, songs, or websites you turn to each day. To open a Jump List, just right-click a program icon on the Windows 7 taskbar. (You'll also find them on the Start menu.) What you see in a Jump List depends entirely on the program. The Jump List for Internet Explorer 8 shows frequently-viewed websites. Windows Media Player 12 lists commonly-played tunes. Your Jump List missing a favorite? You can "pin" whatever files you like there. Jump Lists don't just show shortcuts to files. Sometimes they also provide quick access to commands for things like composing new e‑mail messages or playing music.

Finally, there are new ways to preview windows. Point to a taskbar icon to see a thumbnail preview of open files or programs. Then, move your mouse over a thumbnail to preview the window full-screen. You can even close windows from the thumbnail previews--a big time saver.
Ever need to cut through a cluttered desktop and quickly focus on a single window? Just click a pane and give your mouse a shake. Every open window except that one instantly disappears. Jiggle again--and your windows are back.

So glad to hear this helped your headache...yoga is amazing!

@JayW Great Question! And there's no right answer here. Traditionally, yogi's did asana as a preparation for mediation. A way to get the body to open and release in order to be able to sit longer in a meditative state. Sometime this is exactly what I need. Other times I feel the need to just sit. So, listen to your body and mind and go with what they are asking for from you. Enjoy!

Thank you, Ashleigh! This is my "go to" when I have just enough time to do a short practice to set up my day. It puts me in the right place so I can build my day from a place of ease, calmness, and being centered. I know that if I didn't do this practice on those "rushed" feeling mornings... my days would be much different. So thank YOU!
, posted on July 23, 2013
I'm grateful that this practice came back to me this morning. Crunched on time but needed that wake-up, grounding feeling that yoga gives to the start of the day. This was perfect. Ashleigh, I love how despite it being a "quick" experience...it felt relaxed and complete! Namaste!

I use for the 3D visualization the component CAD geometry with STL files.My STL files are created from CATIA with parts mesured in mm.In MapleSim, in order to keep mm, I have, of course, to set "mm" in the inspector tab of the components "CAD geometry".But, I have also to put the scale factor to 0.001.I don't understand why I should to set it to 0.001 because :- the CADs from CATIA are in mm.- and the option in the inspector tab of the components "CAD geometry" is also in mm.Would you have some precisions about the scale factor for the "CAD geometry" element ?
Thank you for your help.
Where was this graphic of a mountain crater used in Maple? The top left graphic from here http://www.maplesoft.com/products/maple/features/Visualization.aspx#
I haven't seen it used in any webinars nor have I seen it in the application center. 5 points to anyone who can find it :)
Hello everybody,
my question concerns the visualizing possibilities of maple:
can maple visualize complex functions? (f(z): C->C)
If so, which possibilities do i have und what is the command for it? Maybe as a coulour diagram, as a vector field (f(x): R^2->R^2) , or as mapping of sets (e.g. curves, grids into new curves and curved lines)?
Thanks in advance
PS: I am using maple 18.
Concerning the 3D visualization of my multibody systems, in the visualization windows, i can see both :- the display of geomtry of the elements which has been defined as simple forms (as cylindrical geometry)- the display of the geometry of the elements where the display of the geometry has been defined with CAD.
However, concerning the 3D animation, i have only see the components where the display of the geometry is defined as simple forms (as cylindrical geometry).
Have you some ideas why I can not see the elements which has been defined with CAD ?
For your information, the CAD geometries have been defined with STL files and, in the CAD geometry component, I let the box "Transparent" empty.
Thank you for your help
In this work we show you what to do with the programming of Embedded Components applied to graphics in the Cartesian plane; from the visualization of a point up to three-dimensional objects and also using the Maple language generare own interactive applications for touch screen technology in mobile devices techniques. Given that computers use multicore and designed algorithms that solve calculus problems with very good performance in time; this brings programming to more complex mathematical structures such as in the linear algebra, analytic geometry and advanced methods in numerical analysis. The graphics will show real-time results for the correct use of the parallel programming undertook to bear the procedural technique is well suited to the data structure, curves and surfaces. Interaction in a single graphical container allowing the teaching and / or research the rapid change of parameters; giving a quick interpretation of the results.

Hi, we recently put together a web video on how memes spread on the internet using several visualizations generated from Maple 18:
Found the new ability to specify a background image for plots to be very helpful.
In my model, it seems that I have parameters which are not evaluated.
Indeed, I'm not sure that the parameters defined with relations as you can see in the printscreen are evaluated.
One point which helps me to debug my model is to follow the evaluation of the construction of my model with the 3D visualization.
Questions :1) How can I do to be sure that my parameters are evaluated ?
2) Is it possible to launch the update of the 3D visualization even if I still have some bugs in my model ?
Thank you for help.
Following @acer 's challenge to create some more examples for the Rosetta Code project, I've put together some code that constructs Stem-And-Leaf plots here.
I've also attached a new mathapp ( StemAndLeafDisplay.mw ) that contains the code as well as an interactive example for Stem-Plots. This MathApp is also viewable online at the following mobius project page.
This older post may also be of interest for anyone looking to make a stem and leaf plot with decimals.
Well-known problem is the problem of placing eight shess queens on an 8×8 chessboard so that no two queens attack each other. In this post, we consider the same problem of placing m shess queens on an n×n chessboard. The problem has a solution if n>3 and m<=n .
Work consists of two procedures. The first procedure Queens returns the total number of solutions and saves a complete list of all solutions (global variable S ). The second procedure QueensPic shows the user-defined solutions from the list S on the board. Formal argument t is the number of solutions in each row of the display. The second procedure should be used in the standard interface, rather than in the classic one, since in the latter it may not work properly.
Queens := proc (m::posint, n::posint)
local It, K, l, L, M, P;
global S, p, q;
It := proc (L)
local P, k, i, j;
M := []; k := nops(L[1]);
for i in L do
for j to n do
if convert([seq(j <> i[s, 2], s = 1 .. k)], `and`) and convert([seq(l[k+1]-i[s, 1] <> i[s, 2]-j, s = 1 .. k)], `and`) and convert([seq(l[k+1]-i[s, 1] <> j-i[s, 2], s = 1 .. k)], `and`) then M := [op(M), [op(i), [l[k+1], j]]]
od; od;
end proc;
K := combinat:-choose([`$`(1 .. n)], m);
for l in K do P := [];
L := [seq([[l[1], i]], i = 1 .. n)];
P := [op(P), op((It@@(m-1))(L))];
S := [op(S), op(P)]
p := args[1]; q := args[2];
end proc:
QueensPic := proc (M, t::posint)
local m, n, HL, VL, T, A, N;
uses plottools, plots;
m := p; n := q; N := nops(args[1]);
HL := seq(line([.5, .5+k], [.5+n, .5+k], color = black, thickness = 2), k = 0 .. n);
VL := seq(line([.5+k, .5], [.5+k, .5+n], color = black, thickness = 2), k = 0 .. n);
T := [seq(textplot([seq([op(M[i, j]), Q], j = 1 .. m)], color = red, font = [TIMES, ROMAN, 24]), i = 1 .. N)];
if m <= n and 3 < n then
A := seq(display(HL, VL, T[k], axes = none, scaling = constrained), k = 1 .. N), seq(display(plot([[0, 0]]), axes = none, scaling = constrained), k = 1 .. t*ceil(N/t)-N);
Matrix(ceil(N/t), t, [A]);
Examples of work:
Queens(5, 6);
QueensPic([%], 3);
[[1, 5], [2, 3], [3, 6], [4, 4], [6, 1]], [[1, 3], [2, 5], [4, 1], [5, 4], [6, 2]], [[2, 1], [3, 4], [4, 2], [5, 5], [6, 3]]
Two solutions of classic problem:
Queens(8, 8);
QueensPic(%, 2);
[[[1, 5], [2, 8], [3, 4], [4, 1], [5, 7], [6, 2], [7, 6], [8, 3]], [[1, 6], [2, 1], [3, 5], [4, 2], [5, 8], [6, 3], [7, 7], [8, 4]]]
Here is a solve problem based on theoritical analytic approach, http://math.stackexchange.com/q/460365/8581. May I ask make me hints in which I can visualze the region f maps. In the question we are speaking about $f(E)$, so I am thinking about a plot illustaring $f(E)$. Thanks for the time and any hints.
A right click on the visualization CAD geometry icon, attaching an STL file, activates a pop up list of options. One of the options is "make rigidbody". The units are for the MKS system. I must be doing...
We assume that the length of a match is 1, then the perimeter of a polygon is equal to the number of matches N. If a match can be located at arbitrary angles to each other, then at a given perimeter of the area can take on any value between zero and the area of a regular polygon (for even number of matches) . For an odd number of matches the lower bound equals to the area of an equilateral triangle of side 1. For any given area within these boundaries will be infinitely many solutions.

Hotel Unik
A few rough edges
What we say:
Not to be confused with Unique Guesthouse on the other side of the train tracks, this older style hotel sports a range of features that you'd expect in this price range, but a few rough edges let this place down. The hot water bathrooms are clean, but are sadly designed such that the shower is in close proximity to the toilet -- the entire bathroom floor and toilet will be sopping wet after you have a shower. Still, there's air-con, a miniscule 20-year-old TV that is nigh on useless, a big springy bed, free breakfast and free WiFi in the lobby. On the upside, the hotel is located in a quiet street next to the train station and is a decent backup if the nearby Mine Home Hotel is fully occupied.

Every 10 Years We Get a New Body: Check-out The New You!
Human physiology is the science of the mechanical, physical, bio-electrical, and biochemical functions of humans in good health, their organs, and the cells of which they are composed. Most aspects of human physiology are closely homologous to corresponding aspects of animal physiology, and animal experimentation has provided much of the foundation of physiological knowledge.

"Many cases have a fairly lengthy ascending aorta," said Dr. Montero-Baker during the transmission. "This case is a little more complicated because of stenosis. It is a great case to try a multilayer graft."
The patient had already had a triple heart bypass, which made him a good candidate for an endovascular procedure as opposed to having another open procedure. "He was turned down by cardiothoracic surgeons," said Dr. Montero-Baker "He was out of open options but in desperate need of a solution."
Dr. Montero-Baker explained that the major advantage of the device is that it will change the flow dynamics, which lessens the tension on the aneurysm wall. "It is fairly different from other classical aorta devices," he said.
The device is currently not approved for use in the United States, but an application is in to the FDA for approval. The unique opportunity to show this first-ever broadcast, one of 32 live case transmissions from eight sites during the three-day conference, supports NCVH's goal of introducing attendees to new technologies.

About CARDIATIS MULTILAYER TECHNOLOGY
The current endovascular approach to treating aortic aneurysm relies on the use of covered stents that mechanically blocks the aneurysm in an effort to eliminate it from circulation. By creating an active barrier based on the laws of fluid dynamics Cardiatis Multilayer technology platform challenges the covered stent mechanical barrier concept and introduces a new paradigm for treating aortic aneurysms. The space-age 3D geometrical design of a Cardiatis stent modifies flow within the aorta in a way that reduces pressure within the aneurysm thus collapsing the aneurismal sac while preserving any vital collateral circulation. Cardiatis uncovered multilayer braided stent is low profile, easy to deploy and its hemodynamic modulating effects have been proven in-silico, in-vitro as well as clinically. Visit www.cardiatis.com for additional information.
About NCVH
New Cardiovascular Horizons (NCVH) is a peripheral intervention conference focusing on peripheral artery disease (PAD) with a special emphasis on critical limb ischemia (CLI). The goal of NCVH is to bring together key disciplines to focus on the team approach to total cardiovascular care in patients with PAD and CLI. This approach creates an environment for clinical collaboration to address the continuum of care for the patient. NCVH is hosted annually in New Orleans and is well known for hospitality and a family friendly environment. NCVH 2014 is scheduled for May 28-30, 2014. Visit www.ncvh.org to learn more.

Your October Horoscope by Susan Miller
Astrology Zone with Susan Miller for November 2015 from Television Four on Vimeo.
By Susan Miller
Life is getting better and better for you, dear Taurus. You may not see the truth of this quite yet unless you have an April birthday, but sooner or later in the coming 12 months, you will enjoy quite a new life. You will be more optimistic than you've been in months - possibly years! - and finally, as you move forward in the weeks and months to come, you will get the lucky breaks you have hoped would happen. A relationship that tested you at some point over the past three years has now settled down or is no longer part of your constant concern. You either fixed the problem in that relationship, saw an improvement in conditions surrounding your alliance, or you broke up. Now you find yourself in a far better place. Some Taurus had health difficulties instead of concerns about a close, committed relationship, and if that describes you, it will be good to know that your health will show improvement, either immediately or in the near future.
It's time to create a new and improved life - delete clients who have given you sleepless nights, replace a ho-hum job with a more exciting one, and consider giving your appearance a "once over" from your face to toes, and include your clothes. Kick your look up another notch! It's time! My reference to improving your looks applies to my male readers as well as women readers, so stay with me, men!
Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, has slowly traveled through space and has now reached the perfect position to help you, in the Virgo constellation, an earth sign like yours that is compatible with Taurus. It has taken Jupiter twelve years to get to Virgo. With Jupiter now in "trine" position to your Sun - the finest aspect of harmony possible, next to a conjunction - you will find doors open for you in your career, your health will become stronger, you will get opportunities to travel, possibly abroad, and the best part, love and romance can now become bright and beautiful in the coming twelve months. This trend is all about enriching your personal life, and Jupiter is very good at making this happen.
Last month, on September 12-13, you had an important eclipse in your love / romance / children / pregnancy sector (fifth house), so you may have seen a development in one of those topics listed. If your birthday falls May 15 plus or minus five days, you will feel the benefits of this friendly solar eclipse more than most. Your creativity is also covered by the fifth house that is so lit up for you, and you will soon see that work you did in the past the past is adding up to something big now. This year and in 2016, ideas meet practicality and experience and produce a winning combination for you.
Sometimes an eclipse, like the one of September 12-13, delivers news and opportunity immediately, and other times it may take a month to the day later, plus or minus five days, bringing you to mid-October. This was a friendly eclipse that would open all sorts of possibilities. No matter your age, if you are single and want love in your life, you can find love. You need to do your part by circulating and being open to various types. Don't have a pre-determined list of qualifiers for your ideal partner - you may be surprised by the person who will intrigue you. If you are attached, you can get more attention and affection from your present partner. Again, do your part by looking your best and perhaps coming up with the idea of a trip together, anytime between now and September 2016 - chose one that you both would like to take and that is to a new location neither of you have seen. It's time to celebrate your love.
Mars will be touring your love sector all month, along with the sexy couple, Venus and Mars, so the stage is set for many romantic evenings either if you stay home or if you take a trip (think: a beautiful mountainous range). The job of Venus and Mars, when together - which is rare - is to set off the sparks of love. Venus will enter Virgo on October 8 and stay until November 9. This truly is the best possible time for love and also for a compete redo of your looks. Check your eyeglasses. Are they current? Nothing ages a face faster than old-fashioned eyeglasses. See your dentist about having a professional tooth whitening too. Have you been wearing your hair the same way for years? Ask your stylist for suggestions of something more modern. (Again, I am speaking to my male readers too.) It's you, all new and improved.
As you enter October, Mercury will still be retrograde in your workaday sector. You may have to redo or add to an existing project, and it's the right time to do it. You will be given a chance to polish it until it gleams. If you go to the doctor and don't get a diagnosis you expected, it's possible there was a mix-up at the lab, so there is no harm in asking for another test to be sure the diagnosis is correct.
After October 9, when Mercury goes direct, you can start thinking about moving ahead in all areas of your life, and for buying electronics too. Leave as much space as possible after October 9. The hardest and most frustrating days of Mercury retrograde are often the start and end dates (the "bookend dates"). When you buy electronics while Mercury is out of phase, you may find the product you chose does not fit your needs, and you begin to wonder why you bought it in the first place, or else you may find it is defective in some way.
In the past weeks, you may have made several trips to the repair shop. I got cotton (of all things) tangled in my suitcase zipper on the side pouch, so I had to lug my suitcase to the luggage repair shop. My Apple 6+ had a defective camera (and I bought the iPhone at the right time), but problems do sometimes crop up later during Mercury retrograde. Apple cheerfully replaced it within an hour - I barely had time to eat lunch when it was fixed. My favorite necklace suddenly needed repair too - the manufacturer here in New York replaced it instantly within 24 hours. The jeans I had made shorter were not short enough, so back to the tailor for re-hemming. We all tend to have a lot of these little chores to do during the retrograde. You may run into an old friend, and that is always fun during Mercury retrograde. Our past becomes important during these phases, and you are likely to be surprised and thrilled to catch up with your long lost friend. You may be able to think of things you can do together in the future.
If you get an offer for a new job, wait until after the Mercury retrograde phase is over before you commit. The exception to this rule is if you worked for this company before, or if the person offering you the job is someone from your past. In that case, you would be continuing a previous relationship and making more of it rather than starting a new alliance. Mercury is pleased when you make more of people and projects from your past. If you have a project that you want to go back to and improve, the same is true.
For example, during this Mercury retrograde, last month, I told my app developer, Phunware of Austin, Texas, that I felt my year-old app, Susan Miller's Astrology Zone Daily Horoscopes, is ready for an upgrade to version 2.0. I wanted to add links to videos, special features, and navigation improvements to surprise my readers. I signed the work order to get the team started during Mercury retrograde, which was safe thing to do because we were not writing a new app for the phones (iPhone, Samsung, and Android), but adding features and improvements to my existing product. I expect I will still need to make small corrections before we go to market, but that is always part of the process.
I won't unveil my new version to readers during this or any other Mercury retrograde period. It will take time for Phunware to write all the code anyway, and then Apple has to approve our changes. I will let you know when my new version is ready. You won't have to buy the upgrade, it will flow automatically into the copy of my app that you already have on your phone. When you upgrade, you will see the new features. (I am on the Apple Watch too, and that software, too, is free if you have my app. It flows into the watch automatically with no wires or downloads, by Bluetooth. The little elves at Apple will help you set it up.)
Now let's look deeper into October. October 6 is a day to lie low. The Sun and Pluto will be at odds, so it's not a day to ask a favor of a VIP. Also on that day, Mars will oppose Neptune, so on this day, you may have stars in your eyes, but that could cause problems in a close relationship. This aspect will cut across your love and friendship sectors, so that's where your vision of someone may run counter to reality. Neptune is the planet of dreams, so in the absence of information, you may fill in the blanks with all kinds of glowing attributes your friend or sweetheart doesn't deserve - you just made them up! This would not be the day for a first date. Generally, delay all major decisions on this day.
Next, pay attention to October 11, a day with two different outlooks. The downside of October 11 is that 2Uranus will be opposed to the Sun. You may have problems with a VIP connected to your career, or a possible delay or setback regarding an important professional project.). I will admit that news may shock you. The problem may stem from political maneuverings within your company that involve a co-worker or person(s) who reports to you - people who will put their fingers in the pudding and mess up your work, or worse, want to take credit for your work. Alternatively, your home may be your focus and where the unexpected news stems, most likely from an event or person connected with your apartment or house, such as your landlord, roommate, or contractor, or possibly have to do with a parent or someone you think of as a parent.
Yet on the same day, October 11, one of the most glorious aspect is due, Jupiter in perfect trine angle to Pluto. You see what a crazy month this will be! Great aspects will be tossed in along with troublesome ones, but thank goodness for the good ones! In this case, Pluto and Jupiter can bring you excellent results from linking your creative efforts to an international client. Or you may be ready to go overseas to complete a project, such as to do research for a grant.
If you were doing any work involving the media in publishing or broadcasting, or with an international client, your timing would perfect. You would also have luck with anything involving academia, international research and relations, immigration, passports, green cards, and visas. Jupiter and Pluto are both associated with high-level finances, so if you are selling a house, you are likely to get the highest bid on or very close October 11.
The following day will bring a very difficult new moon in Libra, October 12, underscoring the problem you might have with co-workers or underlings. To be clear, October 12 is not an eclipse, just a full moon. Uranus will directly oppose the new moon and zoom jarring energy into your workaday sector. Again your home living situation or something related to a family member may need attention too. A new moon will always set up a trend lasting six months or more, until the full moon comes by to resolve the matter. That full moon will appear on March 23, which happens to be a full moon lunar eclipse. If the matter is complex, take your time to address it (but of course don't ignore it either). This seems to be an important matter that you will want to handle correctly.
I had mentioned earlier that the weekend of October 17-18 is superb for you - highly romantic. It would do you a world of good to go away on a trip with your partner if that is possible, and the trip may be short or long. Mars and Jupiter will be conjunct, setting up the perfect, loving, warm situation for happiness. If you have children, ask your family if one of your relatives would babysit.
The following weekend will be made for you too. Venus will be conjunct Jupiter in Virgo, a very rare aspect that will occur over October 24-25. When your ruling planet (in your case, Venus) is socializing with good fortune Jupiter, that is always sensational news for you. You will be as happy as a puppy in clover, for events will go your way. You will start to feel this lovely energy build on Friday, October 23. Use one of these days to take a judicious risk - have a first date, ask your boss for special favor, or pitch a venture capitalist for the money you need to grow your business. These are a few examples, but you get the idea - do something that would be hard to achieve, for you will have special favor.
Venus' job is also to make you look great, so this would be an ideal day (October 23-25) to buy new clothes or to choose a new scent (either sex). Women Taurus may want to choose new beauty products and makeup colors for the coming season.
The friendly full moon comes one day later, October 27 in Taurus, 4 degrees, putting a spotlight on you and all that you desire. Something of enormous importance is coming to culmination on this day or within four days of this date. Neptune, planet of creativity, vision and the arts, will be in perfect angle to this full moon. This is a very friendly new moon, and one that may bring an invitation from a friend to quite a beautiful party. If you are an actor, you may get the role of your dreams, or if you are an artist, you may sell an important piece. Or, it may be that you are finally able to grasp a dream that you have long held in your heart. This is a VERY favorable full moon to say the least.
This full moon will speak especially strongly to you if your birthday falls on April 23, plus or minus four days. The same is true if you know your natal chart and have Taurus rising 4 degrees (or within four degrees), or a natal plant within five degrees of 4 degrees Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn, or to a slightly lesser degree if your natal planet is found near 4 degrees Pisces, Scorpio, or Cancer.
The three planets in your house of love and romance - Jupiter, Venus, and Mars - are still in Virgo, still orbiting close, and still in your house of true love. This full moon is all about you, your feelings, and the softer side of your life. It is also possible that a creative project will be coming to fruition at this time.
On October 30 the Sun and Neptune will also be in conversation, another boost to all artists and creative minds - that is you, dear Taurus, whether you work in a creative field or not. This year, it's clear the Halloween costumes will be outstanding fun. If you want to win a prize for your outfit, you'll have to work extra hard this year as the competition will be stiff! Are you not into making your costume? Then go to a party and enjoy all the creative costumes of the others. Go to a costume house early in the month to get the one you want so you enjoy being someone or something else! This month will end on such a sweet note!
You've had a number of eclipses over the past two years that may have touched off sudden changes in either your work environment or in regard to your health. The latest was a lunar (full moon) eclipse, September 27. Eclipses are in a hurry to show you the weaknesses in any situation, so that you can quickly act to protect yourself. If you were stressed over office politics last month, by now you've discovered the plot and have the wherewithal to disband it.
Now, a new moon in Libra, October 12, will work with the September 27 lunar eclipse and open a new chapter, with more surprises due. You are likely tired of news coming at you from left field, but this trend will continue a little longer. This new moon will oppose Uranus - called the great awakener - so more jolts are on the way for just about everyone, not just Taurus. Each sign will feel the effects of this new moon in different ways.
For Taurus, your trusted assistant or team member may leave, causing a temporary situation of minor chaos. Or, your company may move headquarters to another city, making you wonder whether you want to stay. Worse, you may discover that co-workers or subordinates are working against you, by trying to steal credit for your work, or to make you look bad, unfairly. Or, if your office is stable, a health matter may come up that should be addressed immediately. You've experienced things like this before - you can handle all that the universe will ask of you.
At nearly the same time of the new moon, on October 12, Jupiter and Pluto will be beautifully angled, linking fun and love to travel. This is a rare aspect that suggests profit can be made, especially from foreign shores. If you need to take a business trip or a vacation, start planning. These two planets will be communicating all month, so you are free to choose when to go. I listed a whole host of areas where you may see good money - publishing, broadcasting, international trade of goods, services, or information, any action involved with academia or research (such as through a grant), or through a legal action in the courts.
Mercury, retrograde since September 17, will go direct October 9. Your ruler, Venus, was retrograde recently too, so over recent months you have been in limbo. Venus went direct September 6, but needed time to return to her former strength - that happens on October 9. Prepare for the pace of life to pick up noticeably by mid-October!
Romantically, Venus and Mars are orbiting together as if in a graceful ballet, in an exquisite expression of love. Your allure is high, and Jupiter, giver of gifts and luck, will conjoin Mars in your house of true love on October 17. This may set off a magical meeting, or if attached, a coming together between the two of you that creates great emotional excitement.
Another spectacular set of days will be October 24-25, a weekend, when Venus, your ruler, will meet with Jupiter, a rare event. This day you can do no wrong, and you will feel the energy building October 23 too. You have an enormous competitive advantage at this time, so use it!
The month will come to a close on a full moon in Taurus, October 27. This will mark an exquisite time, when the full moon will work with Pluto, Jupiter, Venus, and Mars in one expression of refined harmony. This moon should bring to culmination something that is dearly important to you, and it will be so personal to you that even your astrologer cannot see what it is. A relationship appears to be involved in what happens. It's a tender moment, and a perfect way to say goodbye to October.

I am so excited!
Last summer, the executive producer of Mr. Bagdanovich's new movie wrote to me to ask me if I would like to do a cameo in the great director's newest movie, a romantic comedy called "She's Funny That Way." Of course I said yes! Mr. Bagdanovich is right up there with great American directors like Woody Allen. It was during the last week of July 2014 that I was invited to come to the movie set to do my part. I am not SAG, so I do not speak lines. The movie was shot in my hometown, New York City, so the set was only a taxi ride away. I have told no one about this exciting development, not even close friends, until now!
To give you a hint of how to recognize me, I am in an audience scene wearing a white dress with black lace (by Nanette Lapore) and clapping my hands. Not to spoil the fun for you, Astrology Zone is mentioned early in the script, delivered by Miss Poots! I could not have imagined a more exciting opportunity! I am still breathless!
Last July, after the movie was shot, and to celebrate Mr. Bagdanovich's birthday (he is a Leo), I was invited to a small cast dinner party at the Waverly Inn in New York City's West Village. It was there that I met the young, lovely English actress Imogen Poots, who is the main character and star of the ROM-COM, and Jennifer Aniston, who plays a therapist. Ms. Aniston arrived with her partner, Justin Theroux, and both immediately made me feel at ease. Owen Wilson stars in the movie too but was not able to come to the party due to a conflict.
I have now been invited to the movie premier in Los Angeles on August 19. I am having such an exciting month!
By coincidence, I wrote about August 19 in almost all of my reports this month - it's a great day for you too!
Here is a peek at the movie trailer. I am not in the trailer, but I thought you might enjoy seeing what the movie is all about. I hope you will go to the movie!

For many years, I have had the dream of having my own TV show - that dream came true in February, when my show debuted. The show will stream internationally on Vimeo.com, our host provider, and it will run 30 minutes.
Each month, I will explain points about astrology in an easy to understand way. All the material on the broadcast will be fresh and new, and I will not duplicate any information that already appears in my monthly Astrology Zone report. My aim is to help you understand how astrology works, and how you can harness this ancient art to make your dreams come true.
The show will now be available on the first day of each month - or even a few days before the end of the month.

Please always look at my PS on my website each month as I list appearances and other free events that do not appear on my app. You can only view my TV show from clicking on the link from my site, as it is not possible to do straight from my app.
Viewing my TV show will give you special insight and detail on the coming month and also help you get more from the information you already get from me on Astrology Zone. I hope to teach you a few handy skills that will allow you to understand how astrology works and how you can harness that information for your own purposes to achieve enjoy a brighter future.

Last month I showed you the surprise I had for you, special animated videos called Glamourscopes that I had done with Conde Nast Entertainment (CNE) on a forecast for The Year Ahead 2015. Each sign's video runs a little under three minutes. The animators illustrated my words with visuals in a very original and imaginative way, so most people think the videos are especially cute. You told us you loved the videos, but said in a loud and clear way, "We want them longer!"
To CNE's credit, they immediately went back into the film I had already done for the original videos to see if they could create longer ones. I had originally taped for three hours per sign in various ways to help the animators do their work, so there was plenty of material for CNE to sort through. CNE designed new, longer, seven-minute videos that did not duplicate any of the material I had given you on the first, shorter, three-minute versions.
Called the NEW Extended Cut Glamourscopes, you are telling us that you love these even more. Don't miss them! In these Glamourscopes, I give you plenty of dates, so you will want to click on the links below to hear all the advice I have for you, dear reader! Remember to listen to your Sun sign and rising sign - both!

Keeping track of Mercury retrograde periods can allow you to increase your productivity and avoid at least some of the frustration they can bring about. Let's look closely at Mercury retrograde and what it means to you.

Last March, when I was still well, I was invited by Sequin executive women to look at an idea their talented New York City Sequin Design Studio had for a collection of pendants with an astrological theme. I immediately fell in love with the various astrological pendants, and they asked me to check to make sure all the designs and keyword descriptions of the signs to be used on their site were astrologically correct. (Everyone, it seems, at Sequin reads Astrology Zone!) I love the quality of these beautiful pieces. Many girls layer several of these necklaces, using various lengths, and that's a great look too.
The pendants are all made in America and handcrafted by artisans using material components from around the world, and are so well priced that I feel they will fly out of their inventory. These necklaces are gorgeous. They are made of 22K gold-plated brass with antique finish and crystal details. I was impressed with the lovely chain that the pendants come with too, as it is tangle-proof and delicately made to look beautiful when worn. Whenever I wear my necklaces, I get so many compliments.
These necklaces make great gifts or a treat for yourself. I quickly chose those necklaces as part of my favorite things to give for a friend's birthdays. Imagine how surprised I was that Oprah had chosen this Sequin Collection as a part of her "favorite things" in her December issue! I was so happy for my new friends at Sequin and the incredible success of this new line of jewelry. It seems Oprah and I think alike!

Last January, Phunware met with me and we set out to design a completely new app for AstrologyZone readers. We have a free version and an optional paid subscription version for Google's Android and Samsung Galaxy, just like the iPhone readers experienced approximately a year ago.
My new app has a completely new, sleeker design and many new features. You will still have a free daily horoscope, or if you prefer to subscribe, a much longer daily horoscope. The long version is the one most readers prefer. The new applications work with iOS 7.0+ and Android OS 4.0+. If you are already a subscriber to my app on your iPhone, the new design will just slide in to replace the old design when you updated your app. If you have a Samsung Galaxy smart phone, you use the Android operating system, so you will get the new design too. The bugs in the iPhone are all fixed, no more signing in each time you check your forecast, and the tools section for subscribers, the prettiest section, is working flawlessly now. Android/ Samsung Galaxy were bug-free from day one, so go get my app in either one of our retailers, Google Play or Apple App Store, depending on your smart phone type. Search: "Susan Miller."
A feature of my new apps is that each app will automatically expand or shrink to fit your other devices, whether iPad or tablet, or any size smart phone you choose, large screen or small. These newly designed applications have kept screen real estate in mind, allowing users with phones or tablets to get a fully optimized experience for their device screen size. The iPhone 6 is now out, and my app will beautifully translate to that new screen size as well. Keep in mind that you are purchasing a subscription to my app from Apple or Google as retailers, not from us at Astrology Zone. I get a commission on the purchase price of the subscription you buy.
Whether you choose the free version of my app or choose to subscribe to the premium version, either way you will still always have your monthly Astrology Zone report on your phone, and my previous month's report as well. You can check all twelve signs of the daily or monthly horoscopes too by simply going to the home screen and choosing a different sign. The new apps will list my appearances too, but so far, I have no appearances on my schedule, but that might change in time, and if it does, you will be able to see where I will be immediately. Until now, only readers who went to their computers online would know in what city I would have new events. You can also see my Twitter feed on your mobile device too. The designs for Android and iOS are consistent; you get the same visual design and features for either application.
I would appreciate you taking the time to review my app, for I will read all your comments. I am grateful that sales of the premium subscription are so strong, for this allows me to keep Astrology Zone free. Thank you for your support and understanding while I recover from my illness.
By subscribing to DailyAstrologyZone you will receive a week of horoscopes inside your cell phone and / or computer. This means if you have a BlackBerry or feature flip phone, you can still get my daily horoscopes as long as your device accepts email. You will also have the option of accessing your daily horoscopes from a website online, from anywhere, any time, through a password-protected site for members only, or receiving all 12 signs my email each day.

The biggest problem with liberalism is that much of it is based on incorrect assumptions about human nature, the government, and how the world works. That's why liberal policies that seem so well-intentioned often have such disastrous results over the long-term. Until liberals start to understand these truths, their ideas will continue to be damaging to their country and the world.
Human beings are born selfish and badly behaved: You, me, your father, Mother Theresa, the Pope -- we were all savage, self-centered little animals when we were born and it was only through the socialization process that we became fit for other humans to live with. That's why people do need religion, rules, and social pressure to be convinced to behave. It's also why projects like communism, which assume that people can be brainwashed to completely disregard their own nature and love their fellow citizens every bit as much as they love themselves, are always doomed to fail.
Change is often a bad thing: It goes without saying that sometimes laws, traditions, and moral practices should be changed, but it shouldn't need to be said that change for its own sake is not a plus either.
Unfortunately, there are far too many people who treat massive changes, changes that have the potential to permanently impact our society in a negative way, very cavalierly. Sure, we'll change the definition of marriage, legalize drugs, weaken the Christian church, allow countless numbers of illegal aliens from a neighboring country to become citizens, etc., etc., etc. -- what could go wrong? A lot, actually.
In fact, if you look back through our history, for every positive change on a large scale, getting rid of slavery for example, you can find multiple significant changes for the worse: like killing children by the millions via abortion and massive increases in illegitimate births because of welfare. That doesn't mean we should avoid change. Let me repeat that: that doesn't mean we should avoid change. However, we should take great care before making massive changes to the way our society works.
People are different: This would seem to be a rather obvious point, but it's one liberals seem to have a great deal of difficulty digesting. In their mind, women and men should be treated as if they have exactly the same predilections and abilities. Different races should perform identically well, in precisely equal percentages, in every activity, and any difference between people must be explained by some sort of unfair societal constraint placed upon the less successful.

I really don't know what to expect with this finally. I really cross my fingers for a happy Chair ending (and GG then should end with this season). But I have the feeling that with the 5th season coming on it won't be that easy. And I fear the writers might serve us the Dair crap they fed us with on the 4th seasons which would be a real pity. They shoudl better explore the Prince's plot in that case. At least it makes more sense with what Blair expects. I didn't feel the grown Blair with Dan like a lot of people were talking about, but with the Prince, I was really positively suprised to see how grown up she is in a good way. I hope this end of season is going to be a turning point for Chuck to make the same step. That's why a happy end of Chair in this season makes me happy but also worried about next season, which I hope, will be the last.
Dair on the making and no endgame!? Dair planed for year (big laugh)... Well... it sounds like the writers are a little tired. And I really think GG should stop at the end of S5. If these spoilers are true, the show is on a bad path. I'm gonna watch the end of S4 because since 4x18 it has become interesting and worthy again. After that, depending of the spoilers I'll keep on watching or not. If Blair and Louis go on, I'll watch. If dan and Blair somehow become a couple... well I'm done with this masquerade show.
I like how Serena is holding back Chuck (who might go to punch the Prince)! I can't wait to see the mess of next episode! ^^

was that a yook or a boo?
those are grounds for impeachment
A special prosecutor is inevitable.
there are no special prosecutors, there's no atty general and there is no president. there is just farce, all day every day.
$40,000 a plate to be taunted and they still don't "get it" about their guy
repubs are despicable. They will politicize any issue...
He made a poor choice in humor; not the joker persay, but the venue. I would hope those "Boos" were the playful kind that would befit the nature of his joke.
Repubs aren't reporting this - I heard it on ABC first.
Best of luck to the Red Sox and their new whats-his-name at third base heh heh. How is he working out for you so far?
Obama should be booed for a lot more than telling a Red Sox joke.
The president appeared unfazed by the response, as he (read from teleprompter) , "I'm just saying. He's going to have to change the color of his 'sox.'"
ha ha ha, I forgot to laugh
They sort of booed. Everyone was laughing and joking.
President seemed funny and charming.
I was there. It wasn't 40K / plate (different fundraiser). And regardless if people were saying 'you'k or 'boo', at the end, several yelled you "But we still love you".
We were boo-ing him. Get it straight, Jay... you liar.
Neocons never let facts get in the way of a good smear.
What a buffoon. And I'm middle of the road, I vote and I used to like the guy.
I don't follow sports(sorry, old parents) so I don't necessarily appreciate sports references when they are funny.
Here he's simply mocking the poor old sports fan while enjoying himself.
As my 7th Grade English teacher would often say "I fail to see the joke"
To people in Boston, its the Romney woman who looks stupid here. Anyone who knows the Sox at all knows it was a Yoook. It happens every time he comes to the plate. Yet people who don't know always assume its a boo. Not even a point for discussion here.
President Obama, speaking in Lambeau Stadium, was booed when he playfully suggested to Green Bay Packer fans that they cut Aaron Rodgers.
President Obama, speaking at Old Trafford Stadium to Manchester United fans, was booed when he playfully declared that Europeans wouldn't know "real" football unless one was spiked on their heads.
President Obama, speaking in Mecca, was booed when he playfully suggested match play golf between Jesus and Mohammed "to see whose religion is right."
So Jay Carney, born and raised in (hold your breath here!) Washington DC, "knows Boston"? As a Bostonian, I am deeply offended that this creep has any pretense of claiming superior knowledge of everything in Boston and of what Bostonians think.
Obama was booed, and rightly so. I'd love to boo him myself, but since our self-appointed ruling elite find a way to stay away from the people as much as they can, the only pol I've been able to boo is Chuck Schumer. And yes, that was satisfying.
Boo/Yook. Who cares send me the money!
Chris go back and listen to the tape. The Pres Acknowledges he's been booed. Is he as ignorant as the Romney woman?
I am no fan of Obama's, never have been but I don't fault him for the joke. It was actually funny and kind of ballsy. Good for him for actually showing he even had a pair in some cases.
The ones who come out looking really dumb in this are #1 Jay Carney for getting so defensive over a frivolous event and #2 the Romney campaign for even slightly trying to politicize the event. I'm surprised they didn't claim that Obama was waging a war on Red Sox fans.
My suspicion is that it was a little of both. Someone said "Yoooo.." and the rest joined in with "Booooo..."
That is the price for being divisive.
Yaw a freekin cawk sucka Obawma!! Don't talk about the Sawx like that!
Obama's "beloved White Sox?????"
He couldn't even name the players on the team a few short years ago. Screw the White Sox, their drunken, stupid fans and Obama.
"I didn't think I'd get any 'boos' out of here, but – I guess I shouldn't have – I should not have brought up baseball. I understand. My mistake."
"Anyone who knows Boston, knows the Red Sox, and anyone who was in that room last night knows that the preponderance of people shouting in response to what the president said about Kevin Youkilis were saying 'Yoooook' and not 'booo' for God's sake,"
Get on the same page, people :P
To people in Boston who paid a lot of money to hear their guy speak, what difference does it make what he says? If he did a reenactment of Steve Carell's TV News anchor, they would still applaud and even vote for the guy, as they did for Fat Teddy and will do for John Kerry, the only real war hero in the Senate. Forget about that McCain guy; he might have been in Nam but he a Republican and "repubs are despicable. They will politicize any issue..." Massachusetts is a surreal place; even stranger than Boston Legal made it seem.
Joke's on Obama. Youkilis will not be a good player in Chicago.
I was saying "boo-urns"
Chris Andrews looks as stupid as Jay Carney for trying to claim a "yook" instead of a boo. Even Obama admits he was booed. Even chowder-heads in Boston know that.
What ah ya, retahded?
Isn't there anyone left in this country with a sense of humour? If Obama loses in November, get him his own late night show. Can't wait for his opening monologue.
Gosh, he is so funny and charming, and that smile in profile. Geez, he's got my vote. Oh, you mean he's suppose to know how to lead the people of the US......all but those dirty, filthy rich people. Well, never mind. I'll go with the businessman......
Romney's spokesperson exhibited the petty partisan behavior that suggests that his campaign doesn't really get how this garbage turns off the voters in the middle. So what if Obama talks sports. Let him have his pep rallies. Focus on policy. Fire her.
There's just no stopping you Reps?
Seriously? This is NEWS?
That's the trouble with Republicans:no sense of humor. They don't understand good natured joking among friends
And this is news? Is this all you dweebs could pull out of his comments? Jeez where did you dimwits study journalism. Give us some meat instead of cotton candy. You are a prime example of why we do not trust the media, you just don't get it. An Ernie Pyle you will never be. Start reporting news that makes a difference not news that has no content.
Heck I boo Obama daily mostly for is joke of a immigration policy and scary joke of a NASA budget.
I was there tuesday night , hate to disappoint they were not boos.
It is a joke. Overindulgence and enormous hubris toward and disdain for the common person with which Mitt Romney comports himself should be the issue with which people concern themselves.
Romney and his dirt muckers and lackeys will never pass up a chance to try to attack their opposition and to try to pander using anything no matter how low or dirty and misguided
That is why the american people despise him.
Who cares about the faked up Rombama "contest". @ bankster corporate shills.
How pitty are Obama's fanboys. They cant simply accept that the presdient was emphatically boooooed. It was not Youk, it was booo.

laundry bleach Nov 22, 2012 9:26 AM
Re: how can i speed up my macbook in response to rach0056
There are several things that might improve a MacBook's performance, but first it would be good to know what is it that you believe is slow? Is there a slow down with Internet access? Do you have problems with one particular application or document? Or is it just everything seems to take forever? Is the issue constant or intermittent? Has it always been this way or has something changed?
Some other questions -
What model MacBook do you have?
How much RAM installed in it?
How much free space do you have on your hard drive, as a percentage of total space?
Let us know, we will keep working with you.
Best of luck.

Re: how can i speed up my macbook in response to rach0056
Yes, laundry bleach is right, there are many ways to speed up your MacBook. For instance, RAM upgrades, SSD etc.
I just wrote an article about upgrading a MacBook, if you are interested:

So that comes out to about 135ml per roll (270ml in a two roll tank). I do not replenish, or reuse, the developer when used in this way. I reuse the bleach one time. And fix is also one shot.

I thought I found a nice combination for MAXIMUM grain. But this thread challenges my conclusion.
Is it scanning? In which case I will ignore the results as irrelevant.
Or is Rodinal and TMY-2 going to give me a grainier optical print than I get with my current candidate of Tri-X and Dektol?
