Linux and the Euro Currency: Toward a Global Solution
Implementation for the Linux console was quite simple. I asked Ricardas Cepas (email@example.com) which tool he implemented his fonts with. He provided me with a custom version of the chedit font editor for linux-console. I simply took latin1 fonts and replaced the old unused characters by latin9 new characters, for each latin1 font size (from 16x16 to 08x08), but then I was able to display only iso-8859-15 latin9 characters.
Among the recommendations of the European Commission is "AltGr-e should be used to get the euro symbol". (The Alt key to the right of the keyboard must be remapped to AltGr.) AltGr is used as a modifier like Shift on German keyboards, @ can be obtained with AltGr-q, on French keyboards # is AltGr-3, etc. AltGr is used in the Linux version of many European keyboards to output 8-bit characters, as a remembrance of things past: there was a time when making dead keys work was impossible. On French and Dutch keyboards, (") and (^) are such dead keys: they act like compose plus this key on the following character. Since many words use (^) or (") (ètre, aigü...), AltGr-v, where v is the appropriate vowel, and Shift-AltGr vowel were used to get, respectively, vowel-circumflex and vowel-diaeresis. Nowadays, dead keys work with most of the programs except for Netscape or Applixware so these shortcuts are still very much appreciated.
If AltGr-e already outputs è, where could the euro be placed?
This hard problem is yet to be solved by any keyboard maintainer; for the French one I am in charge of, I decided to rearrange the "dollar" ($)/ "British pound" (£)/ "international currency symbol" (¤) keys. Since none of these symbols is an official French money, I changed it to "euro"/"eurocent"/"dollar"/"British pound" respectively normal, Shift, AltGr and AltGr-Shift state. However, French keyboard official standard will use AltGr>-e for euro, so I had to change back this key, remove unavailable international currency symbol and find a new home for "e circumflex", which was in AltGr-e under Linux. I decided to put dollar/British pound/eurocent/e circumflex on this key, only ¤ and ê had to be moved. This was the best possible solution I could imagine, but I am still looking for another solution to ease euro accessibility and keep 8-bit characters shortcuts.
I also added the other latin9 characters, in AltGr-Shift state for the unused ones which can also be obtained by ^-sSzZ or "-Y, and in unshifted plus shifted state for the very common
On the screenshot, you can see a representation of the French keyboard with all shortcuts shown: "MAJ" means "Caps Lock", "Ferme" means "Close", "Arrèt défil" means "Scroll Lock" and "Con" keys are the extended PC 105 keys (also called "Windows key") mapped to previous console, next console and last console. This ASCII art is included in fr-latin9.map key map to remind users where all the Linux-specific shortcuts are.
Now, with a font and a key table, it was getting more interesting. I started a beta-release program to get feedback, which was mostly positive. The only drawback was ê; some people wanted it to stay where it was so I showed them how to edit the key table to do this.
X fonts are not covered by GPL, while the rest of the package was going to be released under GPL. Since I could not find any iso-8859-1 latin1 X font with a GPL, I had to use an XFree copyrighted basis. With Mark Leisher's xmbdfed (email@example.com), I could very easily change some fonts. X window fonts are not scalable; you have to choose Adobe or True-Type fonts (with xfdtt for the latter). Also, I didn't feel like editing all the fonts included with X. No real solution exists at present, except switching XFree to True-Type fonts, which would be a good idea since True-Type fonts are scalable, of good quality, many are released under GPL, BSD or public domain licenses and they already support the whole range of latin1 plus latin9 thanks to the cp1252 proprietary format.

In modern computer systems, privacy and security are mandatory. However, connections from the outside over public networks automatically imply risks. One easily available solution to avoid eavesdroppers' attempts is SSH. But, its wide adoption during the past 21 years has made it a target for attackers, so hardening your system properly is a must.
Additionally, in highly regulated markets, you must comply with specific operational requirements, proving that you conform to standards and even that you have included new mandatory authentication methods, such as two-factor authentication. In this ebook, I discuss SSH and how to configure and manage it to guarantee that your network is safe, your data is secure and that you comply with relevant regulations.Get the Guide

As win streaks go, it was pretty modest: three games. It's over now. The Sixers lost to the Charlotte Bobcats on Wednesday. That had to be humbling considering the Bobcats are the worst team in the NBA. The loss should have been informative, too.
Lately, the Sixers have sounded pretty pleased with their effort. They won six out of nine games before falling to Charlotte, and they talked about trying to finish off the season the right way – by winning a bunch of games that are largely meaningless. But, hey, they were excited anyway.
Doug Collins said he liked "the way we are approaching things" and he credited his crew with being "incredibly professional" as the season funnels toward its finish (see story).
"The one thing I don't want our guys to do is to get comfortable losing," Collins said (see story). "That's where you get beat down and losing just becomes part of your DNA. We can't put two years in a row together like that. Because then all of a sudden you start missing the playoffs two, three or four years in a row, and that losing jumps up on you and then you find ways to lose … and we have winning players."
That is a disquieting statement. The Sixers do not have winning players. The way you know that they don't have winning players is fairly simple: You look at the wins they have amassed and you compare them to the losses they've totaled and you quickly realize that they have more defeats than victories. It's a useful metric called a "record." Stat geeks have been using it forever.
The Sixers are 30-44. They have eight games remaining, six of which are on the road. They are six games behind the Milwaukee Bucks for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. That means the Sixers will once again be mired in the mediocre no-man's land, that dreaded basketball limbo between the postseason and the top of the lottery.
This is an important time for the Sixers' decision makers. It is also a dangerous time. The brass is faced with many choices about the roster – about what to do with Andrew Bynum, Nick Young, Dorrell Wright, Royal Ivey, Damien Wilkins and whomever is at the end of the bench these days. All of them will all come off the books after this season. Few, if any, should be brought back.
This isn't a situation that calls for minor tweaks. The Sixers need major adjustments. Again. That should be apparent to anyone who's watched the Sixers this season. Despite Collins' words of encouragement, the organization is not stocked with "winning players." Maybe falling to a dreadful team like the Bobcats will divest the Sixers of that notion. If you're a Sixers fan, you'd better hope so. Because keeping parts of this team together next season – simply because they won a handful of games toward the end of this season – is a frightening prospect.
These Sixers are last in the NBA in points per game. They are last in free throws made per game. They are 22nd in three-pointers made per game. They are 23rd in point differential. They are 18th in rebounds per game, which seems OK until you consider that they're 25th in rebound differential.
The point being that they aren't particularly good at anything, which is a big reason why they're mired in the middle-of-the-standings muck. That's the last place any NBA team wants to be. You want to be in the postseason and play for a parade or you want to be really awful and accumulate draft picks and cap space. That in-between area is hoops purgatory.
Maybe Collins was just being positive, trying to rally a previously dejected group. Maybe he (and the rest of the Sixers' front office) knows the organization needs to hit the reset button and start over. Maybe. Hopefully. I'm starting to have my doubts, though. What if they look at how the Sixers finished the season and fool themselves into thinking that this crew is better than it really is?
"These are all situations where we are learning and have to do a better job at, but that is why I am still teaching and telling this group the importance of finishing these games off," Collins said after the Sixers lost to the Bobcats (see story). "Even though we probably are not going to make the playoffs, you have to learn to make the right plays whether you are playing Charlotte or Game 6 against Chicago in the playoffs."
Except, as he noted, the Sixers aren't making the playoffs this year. And it's hard – if not impossible – to imagine these players facing Chicago (or any other team) in Game 6 of some surprising future postseason utopia. The front office must realize this crew has serious limitations – right?
Sixers shouldn't be fooled by late-season success
As win streaks go, it was pretty modest: three games. It's over now. The Sixers lost to the Charlotte Bobcats on Wednesday. That had to be humbling considering the Bobcats are the worst team in the NBA. The loss should have been informative, too.

Good location but don't expect any customer service
The location of the Morpeth Lodge is very convenient, right next to the bus station from where you can be in the centre of Newcastle in half an hour.
The room and bathroom were adequate but nothing special. There was no desk or table and no armchair so all you could do was sit on the bed. The bedside light kept flickering on and off and whenever it flickered the TV sound went off, which worried me. The main problem with this place is that it is so hard to contact the staff. I was there for three nights and after the young man checked me in I never saw a living soul, either staff or guests. There was a breakfast room set up but nobody in it. To contact reception you have to go outside and ring the entryphone. I am also annoyed that they have held full payment when I gave the card details at the time of booking and not released it yet despite my payment on arrival having cleared. Needless to say they have not replied to an email about this.

Hating the Sin. Not Giving a Damn About the Sinner.
Rob Tisinai
October 26th, 2011
Will is a full-time student with a part-time job. I work for a big company with spectacular benefits. And as of January 1, Will's going to be covered under my medical and dental plans, because my firm has a provision for domestic partners.
Our opponents often blast companies for offering such benefits, and are dead-set against having state, local, or federal governments offer such a thing.
Sometimes the objections are foul. It'll cost too much money! It would be awful to let a straight person's spouse die of lingering treatable cancer, but it's just good fiscal sense to strand homos in medical hell.
Sometimes the objections are patently false, like Maggie Gallagher's naive belief that two working spouses will each naturally take care of their own health insurance.
And sometimes the objections are just plain ignorant, as when Maggie claims that not being allowed to marry offers this super-cool benefit: "the ability to walk away from a partner's medical debts."
Wait, that's not enough.
Maggie may be legally correct, but she's morally ignorant. What makes her think I value this ability to "walk away"? Will's medical bills — and general welfare — are my responsibility, just as mine are his. That doesn't change just because we're in a same-sex committed relationship. Is that so impossible to understand?
Our religious opponents continually claim they hate the "sin" but love the "sinner." But it's this sort of thing — this exact sort of thing — that shows how meagerly our opponents understand us, how little they even care to understand us, and how empty their claim is of sweetly and religiously loving us.

Last week, most movie and pop culture sites dealt with their post SDCC hangovers by devoting a shocking number of articles to either celebrating or decrying the announced Superman/Batman movie (editor's note: Guilty). At present, the only details we know are the release date, the director, the writer, the fact that Henry Cavill will return as Superman, and that Batman will play some role in the story. Despite the vague nature of those details, there were still plenty of people eager to weigh in about why this was either a brilliant idea or the worst thing anyone could come up with.
Once feasting on Superman/Batman gets old, the comic book movie pundits are bound to turn their attentions back to the superhero property that just can't get off the ground no matter how much anyone tries: Wonder Woman. She is one of the most recognizable superheroes so it's certainly odd that with everything in development (we're getting a fucking Dr. Strange movie, for crying out loud) there have been no serious advances in bringing the Amazon Princess to the big screen. Let's not mince words here. Certainly her gender is a factor. Several years ago Warner Bros. even caught heat for claiming they weren't going to make films with women in the lead.
However, it would be an oversimplification to say that sexism is the only factor in stalling a Wonder Woman film. There are a number of variables that make mounting this project a greater challenge than other comic book films.
Her Costume
Yes, its incredibly skimpy and those bright colors definitely run counter to the grim-and-gritty look that's so popular these days. But it's also iconic, which means it's hard to picture Wonder Woman without it. There was a Wonder Woman script floating around about 10 years ago that basically replaced her outfit with a black jumpsuit and even on the page that felt wrong. Still, one imagines there are a number of name actors who'd flee the project just because of the crotch-hugging silliness of the suit.
A few photoshops have shown that it's possible to give the suit a look that evokes Greek armor while still being recognizably Wonder Woman. Also, for all its faults, the failed Wonder Woman pilot two seasons ago had actress Adrianne Palicki wear a fairly faithful version of the outfit during the show's climactic battle. It worked in no small part because Palicki owned the look. There was never a moment where you sensed any embarrassment from the actress. (In contrast, note how many times in Lois & Clark that Dean Cain seems very self-conscious in his tights.) It's easy to dismiss the outfit because of its appearance, but the right actress will make you believe that it's what Wonder Woman would wear.
Lynda Carter certainly pulled that off. Which coincidentally brings us to…
The Campy Lynda Carter Show
That's mostly what the general public (and your average film exec) knows her from – and therein lies the problem. See, if that's one's perception of Wonder Woman, then it seems like, "Oh, just treat it like a female Superman. She's got powers, she's strong, she's got a bright costume, she fights bad guys… easy, right?" Wonder Woman is so much more than that, to the point where it's frustrating that after all these years, the TV show is still pop culture's main point of reference when it comes to comics' most prominent superheroine. If Lynda Carter's version makes you scoff, remember that there is more to the character's mythos than that.
Not that everything in her history makes an adaptation easy…

Terracotta Pots bad for a tank?
"Terracotta Pots
- Don't use new terracotta - lime is added during manufacture and it will affect the water chemistry.
- Old weathered terracotta is entirely safe after a quick rinse.
- They make excellent caves for breeding dwarf cichlids.
- Oddly, they look surprisingly natural"
i found this listed in an article I was reading. Does anyone have any info on the pots affecting chemistry? I'm asking because my water is still at ph of 6.0, kh of about 0 and gh over 300. The only things affecting the water would be the terracotta pots, drift wood which I took out tonight or the Flourite. I did a 30% water change last night and overnight my water dropped from 6.8 to 6.0ph, kh of 100 to 0 and gh of 120 to 300. Granted everything will be out of the tank soon and all new decor will be in it but I'd like to get to the bottom of my water issues!
Well, I have to disagree. Lime may be added to the product in the maunfacturing process, but lime makes the water more alkaline, raises the pH. And who likes water with a high pH?............did I hear someone say African Cichlids? South Americans and SA Dwarfs may not take a liking to the higher pH. But, it shouldn't raise more than .1 or .2.
As for using used pots, I would be afraid that some of the ferts and pesticides used in the pot's previous life holding flowers, that some of the stuff may harm, or kill, my fish.
I use clay, terra cotta, flower pots in some of my tanks. The Juliis, Buffalo heads, telmatachromis, and other smaller shell and cave breeders love them. I have even gone as far as to apply a gravel that matches the substrate to make the "cave" look more natural.
If in doubt, soak them and see if they change the water chemistry. I would bet there are different companies that do things a little different than others and you might see different results from many of them.

If you want to go into the experience completely unspoiled, you should stop reading here.As you might have worked out from the interactive fiction description, the game involves a lot of reading. But the layout of the story matches the layout of the space in which the story takes place. Puzzles and navigation of that space then fend off the bursts of passivity which you might associate with interactive fiction.Device 6's approach to space is probably its most interesting quality. When your character Anna, who wakes up on a mysterious and threatening island, turns a corner in a corridor in the story the text will also veer off to one side at a right angle. If she disturbs something behind her or in the next room, chances are you'll need to retrace your steps along the sentences to find new information inserted into an earlier part of the story.The art style harks back to the sixties aesthetic of classic Penguin paperbacks and spy thrillers. You'll also get flashes of The Avengers, The Prisoner, old Doctor Who and infographics from outdated school textbooks. The accompanying audio is crucial to solving the puzzles but also well deployed in creating atmosphere, whether it's the crunch of footsteps or a gramophone crackle. In short, and without ruining too many surprises, it's a fascinating addition to the iOS game library capable of delivering regular moments of delight as you realise exactly how it's unfolding.

JunkyDeltax63 | July 2, 2014 | Review of Nosgoth Warlord Pack - PC
Don't let the fact that Square Enix has published this let this fool you. The controls in this game are just terrible and hard to work with. The game itself is completely a PVP game. Imagine Left 4 Dead but in an arena. The game is planned out though and each faction has strengths and weaknesses that make each a fair fight. This game is actually fun and enjoyable but I will tell you all now, this is most definitely a "Pay to Win" game. If you want to be successful, this is an alright pack to buy, spend your credits wisely however!
A must have!Deltax63 | June 19, 2014 | Review of Counter Strike Global Offensive - PC
CSGO is a strategy FPS like it's predecessors but CSGO has a modern twist and new guns, and drops for your steam inventory. This game never gets old, I've played hundreds of hours like many others. I don't think it is "fun" like other games but actually intense, adrenelized! Competitive matchmaking works like a charm now and climbing up the ranks is quite the experience. The game used to be buggy but it is very stable now and the community is booming. Jump into the craze you won't regret a single cent!
Stellar!Deltax63 | June 12, 2014 | Review of Just Cause 2 - PC
A personal favorite of mine! Just Cause 2 is a sandbox game with ALOT of freedom. The Multiplayer Mod is not available on steam which is amazing so you can play with friends online! Just Cause 2 has great graphics and physics as well. I found it very easy to get into the game and play as the character, this game is original and has it's own vibe. I have beat this on the Ps3 twice. I'm now playing it on my PC again, (plus there is multiplayer now for PC!) All said, I highly recommend just cause 2. Just be you and have fun!

New venue sought in trial of couple charged in toddler's death
Tuesday, September 18, 2012
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Attorney want to move the trial of a central Missouri couple charged in the killing of toddler whose injuries initially were blamed on a hit-and-run.
The Sedalia Democrat 9http://bit.ly/OBjhzF) reported that a hearing is set for Oct. 11 to consider the change-of-venue request from attorneys for 21-year-old Thomas Presley and 25-year-old Jamie Ann Litton — both of Stover.
They face one count each of second-degree murder in the death of Litton's 3-year-old son, Blake Litton.
Authorities allege in court documents that Presley beat the boy and then reported he was injured after being struck by a hit-and-run driver along Missouri 135. Litton allegedly failed to seek medical treatment for him.
Attorneys for both defendants filed a media gag in July to prevent anyone involved from discussing the case.

I really enjoy this funny, quirky, well written show and especially loved this episode. I thought to finally see Sheldon show emotion towards a person was just adorable. I think his character really makes the show! I'm glad I finally gave this show a chance...well worth it!
The Bath Item Gift Hypothesis
8 comments
yep i have to agree with you on that one an excelent episode and even though it was difficult for sheldon to show emotion it was worth watching i wonder if they will do an episode with sheldon trying to use the dna
Totally agree, that was trully a excellent episode, and alittle heart-warming to see Sheldon actually embracing someone.
Btw, I wiki-ed the show to see if there anymore episode after this, but the list for season 2 ended with this episode, can someone confirm if this is the season finale episode? It would be really sad if it is, but if so, it is a fitting season finale episode
This was indeed the last episode of Season 2. New episodes will return January 12th with reruns filling the slot until then. There will be a special broadcast of The Big Bang Theory on New Year's Day at 8PM.
My question, now that I know this was the season finale...I wonder if they are going to continue the relationship between Leonard and Penny? I found it interesting that she was not in this episode, nor any reference was made to her since her "move in and I suppose move out" of his apartment.
I was laughing so hard at the end of the episode, it was just the best scene ever in my opinion. Sheldons face was worth more than anyone could ever pay. I'm so in love with this show.
But yep, it was a little confusing. Where was Stephanie? Is it over? Did I miss something? But to be honest: who cares? Still have goosebumps from this episode.
Just to clarify...it's more like the mid-season finale.It will still be season 2 when the show returns in January.
This was by far my favorite episode! I haven't laughed this hard since season 1. My second fave is when Sheldon and Penny go head to head.
I agree that I hope they play on Leonard and Penny some more. There is great potential. I also hope that one day Raj will talk with Penny without the grasshoppers. Haha
This is one of my fav shows.....I love it

Austerity: The Wrong Solution
Published: Saturday, December 1, 2012 at 10:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, December 1, 2012 at 10:01 a.m.
Like all those who are preaching austerity, Michael Gerson's column in Saturday's StarNews starts with a false premise. The federal government is not about to run out of money. True, it is spending more that it is taking in, but its credit is still excellent. Although current deficits are not sustainable in the long run, they are entirely the product of the Great Recession. Before 2008 the deficits were running less than 3% of GDP, despite 2 unfunded wars. This rate could be continued indefinitely; the real problem is not the current deficits but the recession. Austerity is not the solution to the recession; in fact, as the Europeans are learning, it is just the opposite. Spending is necessary to create demand; with individuals unable to spend more and businesses unwilling, only the government can create the demand which will reinvigorate the economy. Mr. Gerson is right about needing a sense of proportion, but his proportions are mixed up. The so-called entitlements are costing more, but the problem of funding for Social Security and Medicare is easily remedied. Extending the payroll tax for SS to all income would insure that the SS Trust Fund has the income to pay out current benefits (with COLAs) indefinitely. And establishing single-payer national health care would drastically reduce the cost of Medicare, Medicaid and health care in general. Yes, politicians need the courage to take on large interests. Not AARP, but the health insurance industry and big Pharma.

Economist Peter Schiff and author of "Crash Proof" was going off about Obama not being an agent of change in the current economic crisis on "The Daily Show" Tuesday when host Jon Stewart gave him one of those Dan Rather questions meant to be rhetorical.
Q. Are you running for office? something?
A. Well I am considering potentially running for Senate in my home state of Connecticut.
Q. The nutmeg state!Well, you'd be be up against Dodd. Are you going against Dodd?
A. That'd be the most attractive part about running.
Q. To go up against Dodd?
A. To send him home. He's been living in the Senate his whole life. He thinks he's in the House of Lords.
Q. Listen he's got a a very nice house. I happen to know he got a good deal on his mortgage as well.
A. I think the guy who gave him that deal was just indicted.
Q. That's Connecticut!
With time for the segment over, the Darien Republican fell just short of making any more formal announcement on the show.

422 Ltd and Inkworks Bring Cel Look to 3D Animation Spots
Manchester, UKs 422 Ltd. used Cambridge Animation Systems' Inkworks software to achieve a traditional cel look in 3D for two recent projects. Mr. T is a 30-second commercial produced by Equinox Film & TV Productions and directed by Gary Cowan for the Accident Group, a compensation claims company. Mr. T was first modeled in Maya and prepared for animation using the software's set-driven keys and animation features. Once the pace of the animation was determined, Inkworks was used on the outlines and scenes were painted with the Maya renderer to achieve a cel look. The commercial began airing on British television earlier this year and has become the Accident Group's most successful ad campaign to date. 422 adapted the outline effect they achieved in Mr. T for the title sequence of Voom's I LOVE THE 80S television series. Director Andy Frith filmed various people in nostalgic 80s clothing and environments with memorabilia of the time. These images were then rotoscoped and composited into 3D environments painted with Inkworks, giving the entire set of titles a consistent look. Inkworks allowed the studio to develop the concept, rotoscope more than 650 frames and complete 3D aspects in two weeks. The series appeared as part of BBC2's Saturday night programming beginning in January and ran for ten weeks. Inkworks is an exclusive product of Cambridge Animation Systems, known worldwide for its 2D and 3D animation Animo software.


text: Gr 4-8-- This third installment in the series finds 12-year-old djinn twins Philippa and John embarking on a harrowing journey to Northern India and Nepal in search of the long-lost and powerful talisman, the Cobra King of Kathmandu. The twins believe that it holds the answers to certain mysterious deaths and hope to find it before it falls into the hands of the malevolent cult of the Nine Cobras, led by the egomaniacal Guru Masamjhasara, who seeks to profit from controlling and selling djinn power. However, the siblings soon find themselves imprisoned by the deadly cult and must rely upon their wits and a generous helping of good fortune to survive. This fast-paced, plot-driven fantasy adventure plunges readers into the curious world of djinn society and explores the many intriguing facets of its lore. The suspenseful plot twists, coupled with a liberal dosing of humor, make this a fun page-turner. Harry Potter fans will enjoy this foray into a different type of magical subculture.--Debbie Lewis O'Donnell, Alachua County Library District, Gainesville, FL[Page 214].

May 3, 2016
A former spokesman for Florida's child welfare agency is going to prison for more than 24 years for taking nude pictures of teenage boys.
Al Zimmerman, 41, was sentenced Friday in federal court in Tampa. Prosecutors say he took nude photos of at least seven teenage boys for distribution to overseas pornographers.
One of the children was identified as a foster child in the care of the agency.
Zimmerman pleaded guilty in January to a charge of producing child pornography.
The former TV newsman was the media liaison for the Florida Department of Children and Families. He was fired after his arrest
in February 2008.

Editor's note: As part of our partnership with Nightly Business Report, TheStreet's Lindsey Bell will join NBR Monday (check local listings) to discuss investing in dividend-growth stocks.NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The hunt for yield is stronger than ever. But now it's harder to find.
On average since 1900, the S&P 500 dividend-payout ratio averaged 54%, according to Bank of America's (BAC) Merrill Lynch. Today, that ratio is closer to 25%. Clearly, corporations have room to raise their payout ratios. The S&P 500 is up nearly 8% this year, but given the volatility of the market, it's been hard for all members of the benchmark to keep that pace. Despite the underperformance versus this volatile benchmark this year, certain dividend-growth stocks offer a safe haven for more conservative investors by offering a steady stream of income with a respectable yield and a total return above that of the 10-year Treasury. Below are examples of five such stocks I was able to find in a search on Bloomberg (in no particular order). I looked for companies in the S&P 500 that had at least a 3.5% dividend yield, a long history of growing their dividend, and had a stock price that was widely underperforming the S&P 500 but was about flat on the year or up slightly. The last criteria allowed me to find stocks that had a great yield that is likely to keep rising as the dividend is increased. Also, the stocks I chose were for the most part mature, slower-growth companies that should have better earnings visibility.

What should I use for cloth diaper rashes?
My daughter gets mild rashes from time to time. The cloth diaper company recommends staying away from oils, creams, and other ointments. So, I do not know what to do when this happens...Now, I know cloth diapers need to be changed much more often than disposables ones which is great because she is not in pain. However, she gets them at times. Any suggestions?

I would like to make a correction on my previous statement. The hospital mentioned to stay away from baby powder because it may cause bladder infections. I've heard from a few mothers in this website that baby powder caused their children lung problems.posted 09/25/2012 by lisaspringsted
the diaper rashes are from ammonia burns. The urine is not being washed out and cleaned enough. Make sure you are using vinegar, or 2 tbsp bleach or sunning your diapers to kill the germs. (check your warranty with which options are approved) rinse, wash with approved detergent, and rinse 2 more times. make sure the water is clear during that final rinse, with NO bubbles. I recommend stripping them at this point. In the mean time, use CJs BUTTer. Its made for cloth diapers. We also use a liner for extra protection. You also can use corn starch VERY sparingly. We had the same problem, and found we had hard water. With a softener added, the diapers are able to get much cleaner! Best of luck!posted 09/25/2012 by mrsjrcollison

VTP and ISL and 802.1q trunks posted 09/12/2003
Hi, Are there any problems or issues when both ISL and 802.1q trunks are used in the same VTP domain? For example, suppose the following: ----ISL trunk -------- Sw1 Sw2 ----802.1q trunk---- Is the above a valid configuration? If so, do any special precautions need to be taken related to STP or VTP because one trunk is ISL but the other one is 802.1q? Example 2: Assume Sw1 is VTP server and sw2 and sw3 are VTP clients all in the same VTP domain. Sw1----ISL trunk--------Sw2-------802.1q trunk--------Sw3 Is this a valid configuration? Any gotcha's I need to be aware of? I know that these aren't preferred configs but the Cisco lab is reputed to test valid config's even if they're not good config's. Thanks, dt

Noor Fazleen Ariffadzilah one of the 50 lucky winners who has been chosen for a trip to England
IT'S like a dream come true for Senheng Electric (KL) Sdn. Bhd. 50 lucky winners who get the chance to go for a trip to England for seven days and six nights.
The winners were chosen through participation in the "Power Up Shop & Win Contest" organised by Senheng in conjunction with the 24th anniversary celebration.
They were sent a trip to England to support Datuk Lee Chong Wei during his mission in winning the All England Badminton Championship.
Of the 50, 12 were from Selangor, followed by Johor with eight winners and six from Kuala Lumpur.
"I spent about RM1,800 for mobile phone Samsung S4 and I didn't expect at all that I could be one of the winner.
"I fill in the contest form just for fun and luckily, I got a phone call from Senheng on early February to join this trip as one of the winners," said clerk Noor Fazleen Ariffadzilah.
"Actually, I didn't know they (Senheng) organised this contest. But I just tried my luck and see how it goes.
"However, when I got a phone call from Senheng, I was a bit suspicious if I had to pay anything, but they told me no payment needed," said one of the winners, Mohd Khairulfadly Abd Halim, who bought a Samsung mobile phone for his father at RM1,699.
The contest is open to all PlusOne members who spent RM999 and above in a single receipt at any Senheng outlets or senQ Digital Stations nationwide.
Through the contest, Senheng and its partners generated sales more than RM210 million in three months.
Among the partners in the collaboration were Samsung Malaysia, AEON Credit Service (M) Berhad and CIMB Bank.
The contest attracted more than 350,000 entries around Malaysia within three months.

Well he has dropped dropped i know she has cuz i feel like i did with my first n ive now noticed so brown discharge(tmi) recently so im thinking my docotr is being extra cautious due to signs my body has been throwing i just hope i can at least make it closer to 34-36 wks im not comfortable with having a baby this early but we will seeposted 08/08/2010 by BabiGirl666
My boy has been head down since 18 weeks, at 29 weeks he had dropped. I know this because, as silly as this may sound, in a matter of a day my breasts sat differently upon my belly. He began kicking me much lower than before and the kicks became much more uncomfortable. My doctor too has begun seeing me every 2 weeks but I have Hydramnios. I look at it as a chance to add more details and notes to my preg. log for future memories.posted 11/04/2012 by cachagua
My baby been head down since 17 weeks. I often feel her move from left to right but never flip flop. This is my first pregnancy and if this is signs she coming early I haope we just make it to atleast 36 weeks. im 33 now!posted 04/05/2012 by kennedy_taneisha
Hi i am 29 weeks foday and feeling a kittke concerned about the grinding pains im experiencing too. i got really huge the first 5 months of my pregnancy but last week my big bump has now dropped to a pouch at the botttom of my tummy. Head was in down position 2 weeks ago when i visited the midwife but i can now feel the babys head internally. I have had previous children several years ago and think maybe the cervix etc is more flexible. Can this be quite normal? otherwise I feel great and have had no problems through my pregnancy. It just upsets me to think this little baby might be preparing to come out to early which could cause lots of problems for her. Anyone got any advice?posted 05/21/2011 by annemarie2208
Actually I don't have an answer to this, but more of a question. I had an ultrasound at 28 wks 2 days, my baby boy was head down on the ultrasound and I can feel alot of pressure down there. Is that the way you feel? I went to my doctor appointment 2 days after my ultrasound and he started giving me appointments for every two weeks. I'm not to sure if the baby dropped yet, but I do feel the pressure and the pernatologist said at the ultrasound I wasn't dialating yet, could it be because the baby just turned head down a couple of days before the ultrasound?posted 01/17/2011 by Audria82
thankyou for informing me on that my docotr informed me my baby has dropped but didnt explain to me that i could beging effacing due to the pressure and change due to the fact im sure she doesnt want me to panick and rushing to the hospital im now reassured this is all normal i went into preterm with my first thats the only reason im concerned but thankyou for your help with the reassurement as wellposted 08/08/2010 by BabiGirl666
If the baby has actually dropped it will begin to put pressure on the cervix which will cause it to efface. So it sounds like your doctor is taking the necessary precautions. If the baby is just head down and not dropped then preterm labor is probably not that much of a concern.posted 08/08/2010 by mandyndarin
My baby has had her head down the whole pregnancy. I'm 36 weeks and asked if she's dropped and my Dr. said no, she's just comfortable in that position. So there is a difference between actually dropping, and being in a head down position apparently. Maybe yours has actually dropped and that's why the doctor is being extra cautious?posted 08/08/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I had an u/s at 28 weeks and my little one was head down and Doctor didn't seem surprised. But at 32 weeks I do start seeing my Dr every 2 weeks and then at 36 weeks every week. I agree with PP maybe he is just being extra cautious, since this is your second you may go earlier and faster than you did with the first.posted 08/06/2010 by miannasmomma
I don't know about the dropping, but my little guy has been head down since 18 weeks. I don't know if he'll come early, but I'm almost 36 wks now. Both of my girls were head down early and carried fairly low, and I went to my due date both times. Your doctor sounds likes he's being extra cautious.posted 08/05/2010 by tjosban
