Currently, our "sync" process is a little dumb (as in, non-smart). Conceptually, it looks like:
- Client periodically asks the server for ALL of the most-recent data.
- Server sends down the remote data, which overwrites the current set of local data in the client's store.
- Any local creates/updates/deletes after this point are treated as gold, and immediately sent to the server.
The data itself is stored relationally, and updated occasionally by client users. The clients in my specific case don't care too much about the relationships themselves (which is why we can get away with local storage in the browser client for now).
Obviously this isn't true synchronization. I want to move to a system where, conceptually, a "diff" of the most recent changes are sent to the server periodically, and the server sends back a "diff" of the most recent changes it knows about. It seems very difficult to get to this point, but maybe I just don't understand the problem very well.
REST feels like a good start, but REST only talks about the way two data stores talk to each other, not how the data itself is synchronized between them. (This sync process is left up to the implementer of each store.) What is the best way to implement this process? Is there a modern set of programming design patterns that apply to inform a specific solution to this problem? I'm mostly interested in a general (technology agnostic) approach if possible... but specific frameworks would be useful to look at too, if they exist.

David Bartley: The Grey Area
Most of us learn in our late childhood or early teens that not everything is black and white. However, it takes many years of living and meeting people from various walks of life to understand just how many shades of gray there are. David Bartley's recent work certainly revels in gray, the uncharted and infinitely varied world between all and nothing. Though his past works have been colorful, hues are used sparingly in "The Grey Area," which closes this weekend. Some works play off of famous paintings, such as his mixed-media reimagining of Francisco Goya's The Great HeGoat or Jacque-Louis David's The Death of Marat, while others playfully reference art itself, such as Emaciated Painting, an oil-on-canvas painting of the back of a painting. The gallery spaces in the Chambers Hotel and Kitchen are seamlessly integrated with the bar and lobby areas, which makes for a fun time wandering the halls with a glass of wine; if you wander up the stairs to the Red, White, and F@%!cking Blue Bar from midnight to 2 a.m. on Saturdays you can enjoy a happy hour that features $3 appetizers and $5 drink specials.

UTC Aerospace Systems To Provide Qatar Airways With A Comprehensive Suite Of Nacelle Maintenance Services
CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- PARIS AIR SHOW -- UTC Aerospace Systems has been chosen by Qatar Airways to provide a comprehensive suite of nacelle maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services for selected Airbus aircraft operated by the Qatari flag-carrier. The agreement for services covers Airbus A300 aircraft powered by Pratt & Whitney PW4000 engines and A320 airplanes powered by V2500 engines built by International Aero Engines. The agreement between the airline and UTC Aerospace Systems' Aerostructures business is for ten years and covers full MRO services, including scheduled and unscheduled MRO, with asset and on-site support as required. UTC Aerospace Systems is a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX). The work will be performed at the UTC Aerospace Systems facility in Dubai, U.A.E."This agreement builds on the relationship we've built with Qatar Airways over the past few years, as we have performed MRO services on multiple aircraft platforms in their fleet," said Marc Duvall, president of UTC Aerospace Systems' Aerostructures business unit. "Being able to provide these services in Dubai underscores the value of our global network of support. With nine nacelle MRO facilities worldwide and more than 1.2 million square feet of MRO shop space, we can provide valued customers like Qatar Airways with the speed and ease of receiving high-quality service at a location that's convenient for them." A nacelle is the structure that surrounds the engine on an aircraft that improves fuel savings, reduces noise and assists in stopping the aircraft upon landing. Qatar Airways is the national airline of the State of Qatar operating a modern fleet of 124 aircraft to 127 destinations across Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, North America and South America from its Doha hub. Qatar Airways currently has orders worth over US$50 billion for more than 250 aircraft, including Boeing 787s, 777s, Airbus A350s, A380s and A320 Family of aircraft. In addition to winning Skytrax's prestigious Airline of the Year 2011 and 2012, Qatar Airways was named Best Airline in the Middle East for the seventh year in a row, and its Premium Terminal at Doha International Airport was named Best Premium Service Airport for the third consecutive year in 2013. Skytrax is the only global independent passenger survey monitoring airline standards and is considered the ultimate benchmark for excellence in the airline industry. In October 2012, Qatar Airways became the first of the major Gulf carriers to officially announce plans to join a global alliance having been invited into the oneworld group. Qatar Airways plans to join oneworld by the end of the year.

ESP(1) Short for estimated street price, ESP is a manufacturer or developer's estimated price for a product in a specific region or market sector. The estimated street price is not necessarily the same as the end -user's purchase price.
(2) Short for Encapsulating Security Payload, the ESP header is designed to provide a mix of security services in IPv4 and IPv6. ESP may be applied alone, in combination with the IP Authentication Header (AH), or in a nested fashion. The ESP header is inserted after the IP header and before the upper layer protocol header (transport mode) or before an encapsulated IP header (tunnel mode). ESP is used to provide confidentiality, data origin authentication, connectionless integrity, an anti-replay service, and limited traffic flow confidentiality. [Adapted from (RFC2406)]

Middletown Springs school budget revote set for TuesdayBy Josh O'Gorman
Staff Writer | April 29,2013MIDDLETOWN SPRINGS - Residents will return to the polls Tuesday to vote on proposed school budget.
Residents can vote from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Middletown Springs Firehouse on a proposed budget of $1,994,899 for fiscal year 2013-14. The budget is an increase of $58,276, or 3 percent, compared to the current budget of $1,936,623.
On Town Meeting Day and by a four-vote margin, voters defeated a proposed budget of $1,998,890, which was an increase of $62,267, or 3.2-percent.
Despite the increase in the budget, the tax rate is projected to drop 2 cents, from $1.64 to $1.62, due in part to the town's common level of appraisal rising from 91.2 percent to 95.85 percent.

"If I had the option to give NO stars... I would! Radio Shack has a whole bunch of young kids working there that are full of lies just to get a commission sell. When I had a issue it was clear they were at fault and they did nothing to even try to resolve my issue. I even took it up as far as the Regional Manager. I am very disappointed and I nor you should ever shop at Radio Shack again!"
"I bought an iPad case it broke and I went to go exchange it because I have the warranty on it. I was expecting to exchange it but it has to be sent out looked at then they will mail and or email you a gift card. Email is a lot faster than mailing. They are suppose to give me the option of both. But they only gave me the mailing option. They told me it would take 5-7 days to get a gift card. But eventually I called them up and it was for them to get the product and verify it. So I wated 3 weeks to get a gift card. Then I went to the store to get a replacement one. Did the same thing. But first I went to the car to look at it. When I opened it it was broken and all ready used, it seemed like. Ran back into the store asked for cash back but instead gave me a giftcard. When I left I saw an employee put back the case on the shelf to resell it. I just want my cash back. No giftcard. RadioShack is the worst!! Never ever go. I went online after going to check state laws for giftcard. Our state law requires stores to give you back money if customers request it. Then I went online for a live chat. It says 24/7 representative are ready to help. Went I around 8 at night. Next page says it is not business hours for people to talk to you. They are not very worthy and product are reused to get profit."
"I purchased anon-contract Virgin Mobile iPhone from Radio Shack in April of 2013. During the first 30 days of service it would not ever connect to the VM 3G data network. I contacted the Radio Shack store where I purchased the phone, and they said I had to contact VM. After hours and hours (over multiple days) of frustration with VM (whose idea of customer service is to say someone will call you back - and no one ever does) I was ready to scream At NO TIME did Radio Shack do ANYTHING to assist me as their customer. I ended up opening a complaint via my credit card company against Radio Shack for failing to provide the service I had purchased. I actually ended up getting a replacement iPhone from Apple (great customer service) who told me that according to their records, my original iPhone had been previously registered and in their opinion was refurbished! I will never purchase anything from Radio Shack again."
"I am so dissapointed with radio shack. Never again will I purchase anything from them again. I tried to return a product that was the amount of 220 and they said they didn't have cash in their register. They made me do the run around when every other radio shack said the same thing. I do believe that they should have petty cash or a safe box with money to take out. Do not shop at radio shack they are Liers and they have very rude employees, I'm so dissapointed once again and will never ever be a radio shack costumer again ever.!!!!!!"
"I have purchase for a $10 for every $50 coupon. Went back to the store numerous occasions and never got the coupon. The Senior manager there was unfriendly with very poor customer service. He refused to do anything about. He even ask me why am I trying to get it if it is only $10. I have never had a bad experience before at this store but one really bad one. I will never ever return and shop there again. Does not matter how good of a deal it is. The store number is 013235."
"radioshack is the best, I got a zagg keyboard for my Ipad from there and it is awesome. The service was great and, i was in and out of there in minutes. I will be a customer of Radio shack, for as long as I live."
"I went to radio shack to upgrade my phone and spoke to the assistant manager
She told me that they had an I phone 5 that they were holding for someone who didn't come to pick it up.
I accepted and said I would take the phone , she went to talk to her manager and came back and said the manager says that the person was coming to pick up the phone but that if I bought an accessory I agreed and chose an accessory for the iPhone which overpriced .2 days later I went to return the accessory and was told that it was scratched , I proceeded to show the rep that all other cases were the same way she acknowledged but coul not exchange . 22 Lexington ave Passaic nj "
"I placed my order early on a wed. stating many times that this was for a business account. My phone was supposed to be shipped to me 2day, arriving on Friday; Saturday at the latest. Monday rolled around and I hadn't seen it yet, so I called customer service. After being bounced back and fourth, they had me do a chat online for my missing order. (Which online the status said "cancelled by customer". I DID NOT CANCEL MY ORDER!)I did a chat, and they basically told me that they cannot place my order being that this is a business account and the talk plan I am on. In the whole HOUR of placing my order they guy never said they couldn't work with business account and talk plans. Nor did I EVER received a cancellation email and they had my correct email as they sent me a coupon right after I placed my order. Then when I call and get bounced back and fourth, they finally tell me that it is what it is, and there is nothing they can do. And that if I want a phone I need to go through Verizon. I am so upset at the way they handled all that. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND RADIO SHACK WIRELESS TO ANYONE!!!!!! So much time wasted and I have waited almost a week for a phone that's not even coming. And to top it off, this phone was for my boss!!!!!!! Looks real great on me...oh yeah, I can get this great deal from radio shack and work around Verizon, now I gotta go back a week later with no phone and ask to spend 3 times as much!!!!"
"Radio Shack cancelled my order without telling me the reason. Here is the text of the email:
"We regret to inform you that we were unable to complete your order. We apologize for any inconvenience."
I tried to call the number provided hoping to talk to someone to find out why, but got nowhere. The call was always routed to an automatic response. This is my first time ordering from Radio Shack, and it is also the last time. It's simply terrible."
"Radio Shack Costa Mesta store – 2750 Harbour Blvd. I am blown away by the store managers (Rafael Denicta) disgraceful and pathetic attitude towards customer service, my opinion – deceptive, dishonest and desperate. He could not care about nor happily resolve a simple problem I had. The store depressed me with their out dated stock, poor air-con in middle of summer, etc. etc. I think there are better places to shop that are cheaper and better. At least this place lives up to its name of being a Shack."
"This use to be the top retailer for electronics but not anymore. You buy service plan that does not fix anything when you needed it. You order ship to store and store does not contact you or know if the product is in. They are closing many stores so you may have to think on if your item will arrive or get serviced. Best Bet is to deal direcly with the manufacture on the product. They will work with you on product issues. Staff is nice but stressed from over crowding and short staff. My current purchase still pending arrived but no follow up may have to contact my bank."
"I guess I've gotten lucky over the years to have good transactions with Radio Shack. Or maybe their poor rating has something to do with the fact that everyone can't wait to post a review for their bad experience but only rare individuals take the time to post a review for all their good experiences.
I've had nothing but good experiences with Radio Shack both online and at local stores. In fact, I was just at my local store and I had to buy a bunch of fuses for work because one of our buildings was struck by lightning. The credit card I brought didn't work and the owner let me take the fuses and I paid the next day. How's that for customer service? I think I could make that into a country song about the good ol' days when a deal could be made with a handshake."
"I placed an order with Radio Shack 12 April. After a few days I was informed that they had cancelled party of the order, however the shipping costs stayesd the same. I was informed 16 Paril that the order was in int trhe mail. today is the 21 april. Still no order. I wonder if the entire order was cancelled and they simply kept everything? Dopn't order on line with them!"
"Went to the Miden NV Radio Shack to buy a digital recorder. Person behind the counter was too busy surfing the Internet to provide any customer service. I was the only person in the store at the time. I asked him a couple of questions and he appeared anoyed I was speaking to him. As I was leaving I made a comment I'll go somewhere else. Person behind the counter became irate and started yelling what do you want me to do. I made the comment nice customer service and he told me to go FU** OFF! Called the store to ask to speak to a manager or owner. Person stated he was the owner. Will never shop at a Radio Shack ever again. The person behind the counter was a tall, geeky looking man with glasses."
"I'm writing today because I have NEVER IN MY LIFE had such a HORRIFIC experience with a retialer before as I've just had with the Radio Shack Store on High Ridge Road in Stamford, CT.
Oh, they were all to happy to sell me the phone and the insurance plan and all the accessories yet when I started having problems with the phone their attitude was :sorry sir but you're stuck with the phone, there's nothing we can do for you, even though I HAD JUST BOUGHT AN INSURANCE PLAN. They never asked or checked for me at all. They essentially did nothing to assist me. Nope too bad, you lose.
In the end I was essentially forced to go to another retailer, and take a huge loss financially to correct my situaton.
I've have bought Radio Shack products for decades. However after this experience I don't believe I'll ever buy another product from Radio Shack ever gain. This is simply not how you treat your customer ! Well done team Stamford I hope you're proud of yourselves. You've lost my business and you can count on me telling everyone I know NOT to shop with you either.
One last thing..your survey choices of "poor" don't even come close to how I was made to feel. I would categorize their abilities as "a joke" and "completely unprofessional".

The Smithsonian Institution expects to spend $8.7 million to engage in digitization, social media, mobile and Web efforts in fiscal 2012, according to an agency official.
That represents roughly a $500,000 increase to be spent on those efforts this fiscal year, in comparison to fiscal 2011, Linda St. Thomas, a Smithsonian spokeswoman, said on Jan. 12 in an interview with Federal Computer Week.

Smithsonian CTO shares tips on using new media tools
This is the first year that the Smithsonian's budget report to the Office of Management and Budget has created a line item for digitization, which shows an increase to $8.7 million, from $8.2 million in fiscal 2011. Comparisons to additional prior years are not available, she said.
"We have been digitizing for years, but now we are putting it in a separate category," St. Thomas said. Most of the funding goes for salaries, she added.
The digitization and new media account is tied to the Smithsonian's strategic plan, which calls for broader access to collections, exhibitions and outreach programs. The goal is to help accomplish the broader access through digitization of collections, new media and use of social media networking tools.
Of the total year-by-year increase in the fund, $400,000 is allocated for digitizing collections and $100,000 for Web and new media projects.
In recent months, the Smithsonian's new media projects have included Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, blogs, mobile, podcasts and virtual reality.
For example, the Smithsonian has worked with Google to illuminate details in 100 paintings from the Freer collection. It collaborated with Facebook and Pheon.org for a museum-based game, and with Second Life to create an avatar-based virtual environment.
Overall, Congress provided $811.5 million to the Smithsonian for fiscal 2012, which was $52 million more than the fiscal 2011 appropriation of $760 million.
Congress appeared to be compensating for the drop in the museum agency's budget last year, from $762 million in fiscal 2010.
The fiscal 2009 allocation was $756 million, including $25 million that came through the economic stimulus law.
The Smithsonian operates 19 museums, the National Zoo and nine research institutes.

Anacostia Playhouse Construction Is Good to Go, With an Assist From the Mayor
After weeks of regulatory battles and legislative debate, the Anacostia Playhouse has its building permit—just not as a playhouse (yet).
The Playhouse, scheduled to open in June, was forced to stop construction work because it didn't have a building permit, and it couldn't get a building permit because, through an arcane rule requiring a minimum number of parking spaces on the same tax lot, it didn't meet the zoning requirements. So Playhouse CEO Adele Robey and COO Julia Christian Robey had to apply for a variance from the Board of Zoning Adjustment and wait to begin construction until it was granted, as everyone expects it will be—a process that would put them weeks or longer behind schedule and threaten their opening productions.
Two D.C. councilmembers proposed emergency legislation to allow construction to continue, but Chairman Phil Mendelson was uncomfortable skirting the zoning rules, for reasons he outlined in a letter to Washington City Paper. Instead, he suggested that the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs issue a permit for interior work on the building, and DCRA found a way to make it work: issuing the permit not for a theater, but rather for the building's current use, as an office and warehouse space, which doesn't have the same zoning requirements. (The permit, shown below, lists both the building's existing use and its proposed use as "office.")
"We're not doing an end run around the zoning requirements," says DCRA spokesman Helder Gil. "It's a creative way to get them up and running."
To mark the triumphant end to a tedious bureaucratic process, Mayor Vince Gray showed up at DCRA this afternoon to sign the permit, making it the only existing permit with the mayor's signature. (Gray's autograph has no functional role on the document, since it's also signed by DCRA Director Nick Majett, but Gil says it "enlivens it.")
At the signing, Gray told the Robeys that the solution to the building permit issue reflects the first of the six "visions" he laid out in his five-year economic development strategy in November.
"The first vision is making the District of Columbia a more business-friendly place," he said. "And this is exactly what I'm talking about."
Adele Robey says she hopes to have contractors working on the Playhouse on Monday. The BZA hearing is set for April 23; if the variance is approved, DCRA will then issue a revised permit reflecting the fact that the Playhouse is, well, a playhouse.

"Just what I wanted for a return label in terms of size and print quality. Super fast production and delivery. Would absolutely order again."
"These were our fist addy labels ordered as a married couple. We needed many for our couples baby shower. They were nice and neutral. I liked the falling leaves concept as we are going into early fall. Everything I expected with no disappointments!"
"These are simply lovely. The tree/leaf design was of a perfectly respectable resolution -- not at all pixelated, as was noted in an earlier review. The "willow" color turned out to be quite a bit less green and more gray than I expected, but still beautiful. I look forward to using these."
"The colors are perfect, bright, and cheerful. They match any card I am sending out and are perfect for every occasion. It was just what I was looking for."

The Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area (TEDA) claimed the top ranking among the country's scores of industrial parks for the fifteenth year in a row. However, as China's oldest industrial development zone, TEDA did not finish first again by mere chance.
"Championship is more than just being the best right now, it's about investing to be the best tomorrow as well," TEDA Director He Shushan noted, adding that ever since its creation in 1984, the park has never rested on its laurels.
"For example, TEDA has built itself into one of the most technologically advanced pieces of real estate in the world, offering out-of-the-box solutions and blueprints for the next generation of investors," Shushan said.
TEDA beat about 90 rivals to top the rankings, which were published in December. Awarded the top mark in the all important indicator of economic soundness, TEDA was also ranked first for all sub-indicators, including gross productivity, total industrial value, fiscal income and actual use of foreign direct investment. The rankings were based on five pillar categories: economic soundness; mechanism innovation; tech innovation; social development; and eco-environment. TEDA was also ranked first for mechanism innovation and placed among the top 5 in the other three categories.
Since 2000 TEDA has officially made technology investment a priority. Subsidies amounting to five percent of the zone's revenues have been reinvested in tech infrastructure, a move that has produced over 2,500 patents.
Meantime, TEDA has offered grants worth millions of renminbi to incubate a wide range of companies, including startups, growing companies and developed-companies, respectively.
And all that investment will pay off. By 2015 TEDA expects the value of its electronics information industry to reach about 250 billion renminbi.
TEDA's innovations on behalf of its tenants also extend to pioneering funding options. Under a new pilot program TEDA supports and boosts new- and high-technology companies to use their patents, trademarks, authorship rights and other intellectual property as collateral to apply for what might be elusive bank-funding. Occasionally TEDA offers matching grants as well.
One such beneficiary is Bonna-Agela Technologies Inc., a company that serves chemists and biochemists in the fields of drug discovery, food analysis, pharmaceutical testing, environmental analysis and chemical research. The company received a loan of 10 million renminbi from the Dalian Bank in 2010 through a patent-as-collateral lending arrangement.
In the first 11 months of 2012 alone, TEDA's pilot funding program has attracted hundreds of financial institutions as partners and 38 companies have directly benefited from loans amounting to more than 293 million renminbi.
Binhai Cloud Computing Park, with 500,000-server capacity, is another flagship incubator and accelerator behind the zone's tremendous initiatives to develop the cloud computing sector.
"During China's 12th five-year-plan period, Binhai aims to invest five billion renminbi into cloud computing services and infrastructure," said Zou Fang, Deputy Director of the TEDA Investment Promotion Bureau. "These investments include details like the 890,000-square-kilometer park's ample and redundant fiber, reliable power to support the data centers and other mission critical facility."
TEDA has also arranged for its could computing park partners to enjoy negotiated discounted rates from China's telecom suppliers, a benefit that allows even larger efficiencies of scale, she added.
The focus led innovative groups to call TEDA home, including a shining portfolio of corporate, governmental and institutional tenants – such as Tianjin International Joint Academy of Biotechnology and Medicine (TJAB), the National Research Center of Nanotechnology and Engineering, as well as Binhai Software and Service Outsourcing Alliance (BOSA).
Ranked the world's fastest supercomputer in 2010, TEDA's Tianhe-1A Computer has developed a cloud computing platform that supports demands for 3D animation, oil exploration, industrial machinery and pharmaceutical R&D, simulative analytics, system forecasting, data mining and financial risk modeling. Both Tianjin Meteorological Bureau and the National Offshore Oil Corporation have started trials with the Tianhe-1A supercomputer, which, according to a listing maintained by the University of Tennessee, was 40% faster than the world's No.2 supercomputer.
TEDA offers such a robust and high-tech eco-system that IBM partnered with TEDA in 2003 to set up its SaaS and laaS data service joint venture called [email protected] Under the partnership TEDA frequently organizes symposiums where its corporate clients, including IBM cloud computing experts, can gather and exchange notes. And as Tianjin evolves into one of northern China's financial service centers, [email protected] will be perfectly positioned to service the banking industry, which requires above-average data security and greater systems customization.
The partnership is a win-win, said Liu Yang, the joint-venture's head of marketing. "We were able to be actively engaged in planning the blueprint for cloud computing for the zone," he said. "So it's really about two-way communication and service offerings that cater to real-world demand."
[email protected] is not alone. TEDA is also home to Tencent's first-ever cloud computing center. The group operates the wildly popular instant-messaging platform called Tencent QQ, as well as one of the world's most active web portals, QQ.com. Tencent holds 29 patents directly related to cloud computing, all of which are in use in TEDA.
In addition, Hewlett-Packard has based its global cloud computing hub in TEDA, while Standard Chartered Bank has set up one of its three hubs there, from which it can service its global clients.
"TEDA will continue to engage in innovation to create a better investment environment for its partners — one that will move upward along the value chain and fulfill our promise of excellence," Shushan said.
The stakes could not be higher. Parks like TEDA will only become more important as China continues on its path away from low-cost manufacturing to an economy based on greater levels of automation and innovation.
"Many countries have been suffering from the 'middle-income trap' since World War II," noted Justin Yifu Lin, former chief economist and senior vice president of the World Bank. He was invited to deliver a world economic-outlook report at Peking University in October.
"Industrial upgrading including technological innovation has been the key factor helping emerging economies in Asia such as South Korea get around the middle-income trap and keep sustained economic growth," he further elaborated.
And as the cost of inputs rise and gradually erode China's low-cost competitive advantage in the global economy, the necessity of having innovative industrial parks like TEDA will only grow, said Trish Saywell, a former reporter covering China at Dow Jones' Far Eastern Economic Review and Asian Wall Street Journal. "Tech-innovation and production-networked incubators are primed for growth now in China," she noted. "This will give China an advantage even if foreign capital migrates to lower cost centers."

3 Ways to Influence Consumer BehaviorApril 8th, 2016 by Mark Renfree
Whatever the reason behind a need for behavioral change, people don't want to be engulfed in negativity.

Instead, Unilever and Weber Shandwick were able to use inspiration, not desperation, to secure this campaign's success.
To Use Emojis on Social Media, or Nah?April 8th, 2016 by Ian James Wright
If you're in charge of a brand Twitter account, the idea of using emojis has probably been floated, and probably at least one person in the room has grimaced. Sure, people use them constantly and you want to be in touch with them, but coming from a brand, emojis can seem desperately phony (see headline for verbal equivalent). But there are brands that pull it off quite well.

In Wiesel's uncensored Hebrew 'Night' manuscript, unveiled here for the first time, the author expresses desire to take revenge on the Hungarians, lashes out at fellow Jews and describes sexual scenes from the train to Auschwitz.03:47 01.05.16 | 5 comments
I know the left would like to believe that Bibi & Liberman are the cause of all the regions problems but they are not and the palestinians are not the great peacemakers whose attempts at making peace are being foiled by the evil Bibi & Liberman duo. Whilst it might not because he is in love with the idea of creating a palestinian state Bibi does legitimately want to do a deal. Bibi wants a deal done now on his terms rather than do nothing and wait for some hard left government to come along that will give away much more and ask for much less. In this case Abbas is the problem, he has not been interested in talks for years now instead he has been concentrating on the idea of going direct to the UN and trying to bypass talks because talks mean he has to negotiate which means he has to also give concessions to Israel it cant be he demands Israel gives. Abbas has been doing everything possible to avoid talking by making preconditions which he knows full well Bibi cannot agree to. At first Abbas was demanding that no talks unless settlements stop. Bibi gives him a 10 month freeze but Abbas doesn't talk until the final month and even that was just for show instead he made new preconditions then when the freeze ended Abbas said the reason talks failed is because Bibi wants to build settlements although he conveniently doesn't mention the fact he refused to talk at all for 9 months when there was a freeze. Now another of his preconditions to talks is Israel release Fatah prisoners including Marwan Bargouti ( who is no Nelson Mandela ) because he supposedly did a secret deal with Olmert in return for Gilad's release he would release all these people. Unfortunately for Abbas deals with Olmert do not count and the deal was done with Hamas and not Abbas and Hamas were content to do a deal that didn't involve releasing anybody from Fatah. So the real problem here is preconditions. If Abbas was serious about wanting talks he would sit down with Bibi now without preconditions and negotiate and through negotiations I am sure he would be able to get quite a few long lasting concessions out of Bibi and eventually a state. Obama might be going through the motions of being Israel's friend because he has elections in a year and he is coming from behind but in reality he hates Israel, Bibi especially and he is a die hard supporter of the idea of a palestinian state. Thanks to his stupid insistence on preconditions Abbas wasted having Obama when he was at his peak and most able to help but if he starts helping now Obama can still help him. Preconditions and Middle East hard man image Abbas has been trying to develop don't bring states but unconditional negotiations do. In this case Liberman is right and it is probably best for the palestinians if Abbas goes, because he is all washed out and doesn't have what it takes to deliver the goods. There is also the little fact that legally Abbas should not be president anymore as he was supposed to have held elections 2 years ago. Maybe we need to get away from the Arafat generation and see a palestinian leadership who were never in Tunis with Arafat and are of the oslo generation, people who didn't start out revolutionaries can sometimes be easier to do business with. Give Abbas his Nobel Prize and then politely get him to stand down and go write his memoirs or something like that.

I was trying to think of something to get dad when the new baby comes - we are having a boy. Also need to come up with something for our little girl she is just a little over 3 and we wanted to get her something special any suggestions on either?
Gift for Dad (having a a boy) & gift for daughter
Kiley Anne born 4/9/09
I never understood why women get the dad's a gift. Isn't the baby enough? The men give their sperm and we do all the hard stuff for 9 months and then go through a lot of pain! As for the kid, before we had our second we took our first on a special trip, just the 3.
~ Momma of 3 Handsome Boys ~ Rylan, Killian, and Ronan, Baby #4 EDD 8-2-14 ~
Anyone else have any suggestions?
Kiley Anne born 4/9/09
DD will be just about 2 when this lo is born, planning to maybe get her a new book or possibly a movie, and a small stuffed animal.
Amelia + Kevin 5/23/09
Annabelle Rose 9/5/10, Hunter Keith 8/25/12
DD 4/07, DD 3/09, DD 7/10 & # 4 due 9/12
This is our first, its going to be a boy, and I want thinking about getting him a few Steelers and Penguins jerseys since he is due during football season and right as hockey season starts and they are his dads favorite teams. So its something for the baby yet my husband will be excited about it.
I've been wanting to get my 30 month old daughter an indestructible camera too! But ive been thinking of waiting til her birthday in January.
What I did do already, is made her a backpack with big coloring crayons, a neat notepad, small stuffed animal, bracelets, new board books and she will have some snacks and drinks in there for the hospital stay. This is how I will try to keep her busy while Im in labor.
As for my husband, he gets a BOY just like he always wanted. If you want an idea for a gift though, try something like a cheap mp3 player.
We just got our DD a big sis shirt to wear when we had our son & the hospital let her pick out a small stuffed animal at the gift shop.
I love the camera for the older sibling idea!! And idk what to get your hubby.. I doubt I'll be getting anything after delivery costs lol. And I deserve a present dang it! lol
Im pretty sure the baby is enough of a gift for SO... Now I think I should get something for actually having the baby!! Hmm....

Almost 3 week with Safyral, should I use backup method while taking the light orange pills?

If you have been taking the active tablets continuously for the past 3 weeks then you should be safe now and if you wish then you don't need to use backup contraception.
Use back-up birth control (condoms or spermicide), for the first 7 days of using Safyral.

Time Enough at Last
Julia Ingalls, writing in Salon, laments that the way we consume literature is changing, forcing us to turn to more instantly gratifying, "repackaged" literature. While she eventually praises the works that come of this new cultural shift, she writes that "[t]he reality of the 21st century is that unaccounted-for blocks of time just don't exist like they used to, at least for anybody who's trying to make a living."
Was this true of the twentieth century? Or even the nineteenth? Look, let's make a rule: Stop yearning for a time when things were supposedly better if it was only "better" for the lucky (and small!) classes or geographic regions that weren't living on the verge of starvation. We identify with the enlightened classes in history because things are better today for more people.
Every time I read a piece about how much more awesome things were when "everyone" memorized poetry, I wonder if the author knows that "everyone" was really just a handful of the few people who could afford the time to study it. After all, schedules get crunched when you're trying not to die of cholera or malnutrition.
By any measure you care to use, things are better today for more people than ever in history. On this particular topic of "leisure time" you don't even have to go back to the 18th or 19th centuries to realize how much has changed. During the 1930s and 40s (when my parents were growing up), around a fifth of all Americans lived and worked on farms. Many of those that didn't worked in industries like construction, manufacturing, mining, or transportation that involved hard labor, long hours, and little time off. Most who worked for a living had very few "unaccounted-for blocks of time" and neither did the housewife who was raising children (more on average) and cooking, cleaning, and performing all the other chores of domestic life with few of the modern conveniences that we now take for granted.
Do the "unaccounted-for blocks of time" really not exist today because we have to work so much? Or because we choose to fill our lives with other activities that we've come to regard as necessary, but would have been viewed as luxuries by previous generations?

Central and good value
Lot 1122 & 1123 Off Permaisuri, Miri T: (085) 420 181
Do not be put off by the name of this place; it's a typical inn in name only, and this place is by and far the best inn that exists in Miri, being centrally located and having good value rooms.
Glory Inn is unequivocally not a backpackers hostel either; its tiled reception is filled with plastic flowers and an intimidating looking front desk. As it does not cater solely to foreign tourists, there is little information available for those looking to find out about trips that are off the beaten track, however the staff have a good command of English, if they're a little hands off. Rooms themselves range from small doubles to family sized rooms, and include TVs, air-con, WiFi, private bathrooms and a daily change of sheets. The doubles all contain queen-sized beds and range from medium to spacious. Twin rooms are on average larger than the doubles and this is reflected in the price. Family size rooms can fit up to four people. All are a good size, with comfortable beds with proper linen. The bathrooms all have rain showers and, in keeping with the rest of the inn, are clean and new looking. Although this inn is a little sterile, if you are looking for somewhere with more privacy than a backpackers hostel then you could do worse than stay here.

When uniform rectangular meshes or rectangular meshes with hanging nodes are used, the construction of the eigenfunction basis leads to one-dimensional eigenvalue problems which can be solved efficiently for high order polynomial basis functions on a coarse grid. The effectiveness of the approach is demonstrated with several numerical examples including a large-scale problem.Reviewer: Johannes Elschner (Berlin) Cited in 1 Document MSC:65N30Finite elements, Rayleigh-Ritz and Galerkin methods, finite methods (BVP of PDE)65N25Numerical methods for eigenvalue problems (BVP of PDE)78M10Finite element methods (optics)Keywords:finite elements; Helmholtz equation; hybridization techniques BibTeX Full Text: DOI
