Video: Toby Keith to release new album "Hope on the Rocks" Nov. 13
Oklahoma country music superstar Toby Keith will release a new album titled "Hope on the Rocks" Nov. 13.
As is his custom, the Norman resident produced "Hope on the Rocks" and served as its principle songwriter, according to today's announcement.
The Moore-bred singer-songwriter typically releases a new album each fall, and his previous effort, "Clancy's Tavern," bowed Oct. 25, 2011, at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart. It also debuted at No. 5 on the cross-genre Billboard 200 chart.
The first single from the Clinton native's follow-up album is already making itself heard on the country charts: One of the most added records at country radio since its release, "I Like Girls That Drink Beer" has cracked the top 30 on the Billboard Top Country Songs list.
Co-written by Keith and his frequent collaborator Bobby Pinson, the single is one of the upcoming album's 10 cuts, along with the title track. The deluxe edition of "Hope on the Rocks," his 16th studio album, will have 14 cuts, according to today's news release. A track list will be forthcoming.
Check out the official lyric video to "I Like Girls That Drink Beer":

Dumbest parenting advice youve ever heard?
"Babies sleep better on their tummies."

She also HATED DD's name. When we told her we were thinking of it, she told us we couldn't name her that. Well, that pissed off DH and made him determined to give her that name, even though it was just one on our list. Now she thinks its adorable.
Oh, and she told me that I was going to turn DS gay if I have him a play kitchen for his birthday. Or let him have baby dolls. And then she bought him a toy vacuum - because the kitchen will make him gay but a vacuum cleaner won't @@. (FTR, he got both a kitchen and a baby doll for that birthday. He still sleeps with his baby doll at night, and even has a second one now.)

I'm 5'4". I have to reach for EVERYTHING.
It really sucked when my son was born with his cord around his neck twice, because I got a lot of "I told you so!" comments.
I have made an eloquent and rational point as to why I am wholly and indubitably correct, pitch. Hate on it.
Caitria. With a capital "C"
I just remembered this after looking through pics of my kids. We have a toy vacuum for the kids and my 18 month old son loves. We were visiting my MIL one weekend and we had brought the toy vac. The 18 month old had on a pair of my heels, his sister's flower headband, and pushing the vac. It's hilarious, but my MIL had to pipe up and tell me not to let him do that because it was going to make him a sissy. I told her that I doubted that. I am very glad that my husband thinks differently than his mother!

My grandmother lived with us when DD was a newborn, so I got my fair share of childrearing advice circa 1950.
Give a teething baby a chicken bone to chew on.
Tap on her gums with a metal spoon to see if her teeth are close to coming in.
If you arent dressed warmly enough you'll catch a cold in your breasts and your milk will spoil.
DD July 2009
DS May 2011
'Look at him reach for my food! He's ready for some!' 'Why not give him a piece of chocolate?'
No, mom/dad/grandma, my 3 month gets nothing but boob juice. He doesn't need anything else. I don't care how 'you did it back in your day'. Studies show it's best for nothing but boob juice/formula before 6 months (minus cereal/rice for reflux).
Also, they have no clue how cloth swim diapers work, and thought his pee/poop would just go straight into the pool. Yup.
I'm not surprised though - mom never attempted to bf, we got real food by 6 months and they never read a single baby book, so.
I don't really remember any. But the thing that gets me is how much things change that the doctors tell you over the years. Most mom's have their kids a lot closer together than I did so they don't get to hear all of the changes.
deputy.mama they used to tell you to give babies water daily (anywhere from 2 - 4oz a day) so grandma is not crazy and the corn syrup (karo light) was for constipation (1/8 to 1/4 tsp mixed with the formula) and yes it does work but no longer recommended.
teecarge the vibrating motion can sometime help with colicky babies. I never tried it but would lay them on my lap and gently rock and pat their backs and it helped with 2 of the kids.
Slothful depending on the persons age they were told to put the babies on thier tummies to sleep or either their sides. With one I it was tummy to sleep, one was tummy or side and one was back. Actually with my last they put her on her tummy to sleep even in NICU and that was 3 years ago.

USARPAC's Joint Task Force Homeland Defense swings into action for American Samoa tsunami relie
October 8, 2009
Story Highlights
- Working in unison with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), other federal agencies and civil authorities.
- The JTF-HD staff communicated daily with the various elements across the Joint Operations Area (JOA).
- "It was a total team effort."
- JTF-HD personnel were not limited to performing their duties in Hawaii. Two staff members deployed to American Samoa.
FORT SHAFTER, Hawaii -- Terrorism, hurricanes or typhoons, floods and influenza provide many leadership challenges. In that Pacific region, Joint Task Force Homeland Defense (JTF-HD) is responsible for responding to these and other emergencies.
This fact was never more evident than following the devastation caused by the tsunami that roared into American Samoa Sept. 29. Within minutes of receiving word of an earthquake and the ensuing tsunami in American Samoa, elements of the U.S. Army Pacific were alerted, including JTF-HD.
"That's our mission. That's what we do," said Lt. Col. Robin Lau, JTF-HD chief of operations. "Once we were aware of the situation, we activated our Joint Operations Center 24 hours a day," added Lau.
The 8.4 magnitude earthquake struck near the Samoa Islands region causing the destruction along the eastern side of American Samoa, a U.S. possession. JTF-HD was activated shortly after receiving unofficial notice of the tsunami through the news media.
Working in unison with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), other federal agencies and civil authorities and various Department of Defense (DoD) elements, JTF-HD coordinated much of the relief effort from the operations center here near downtown Honolulu.
"Our staff did a tremendous job," said Col. Chels Chae, U.S. Army Pacific deputy chief of staff, Contingency Command Post and JTF-HD Chief of Staff. "We tasked them with standing up the operations center in a very short period of time and pushed them daily with difficult missions - and they excelled," Chae added.
The JTF-HD staff communicated daily with the various elements across the Joint Operations Area (JOA) including the Defense Coordinating Element (DCE) on ground in Samoa, FEMA representatives in Washington D.C. and Oakland, Calif., the Navy, the Air Force, the Marine Corps, the Coast Guard, elements of the Hawaii National Guard in Samoa and more.
"It was a total team effort," said Lau. "I was not only impressed with our staff and the way they handled the challenging situation," he added, "but also with the other services which included FEMA, the Coast Guard, the Hawaii National Guard, U.S. Army Reserve and everyone else who responded in this effort."
JTF-HD personnel were not limited to performing their duties in Hawaii. Two staff members deployed to American Samoa.
"We sent two people downrange on the very first day," said Maj. John Parrish, JTF-HD executive officer.
"We sent Amir Abdmishani and Michael Machado to American Samoa to assess damage, conduct analysis and act as a liaison to the Defense Coordinating Officer (DCO) and National Guard unit." "We are charged with coordinating DoD support to civil authorities during a natural or man-made disaster," said Master Sgt. Paul Price, JTF-HD senior enlisted soldier.
"We also support federal, state and local governments to coordinate and execute a response to a disaster."
JTF-HD is part of the National Response Framework (NRF), formerly known as the Federal Response Plan (FRP) and is primarily responsible for defeating terrorist and other asymmetric threats and overcoming disasters involving Hawaii and U.S. territories and possessions within the Pacific Command area of responsibility. It is also responsible for conducting Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) operations for all hazards in the region.
"Responding to, preparing to respond and response training for these events make up the bulk of our workday," said Mel Garcia, JTF-HD deputy chief. "Our efforts are crucial because of the damage inflicted by terrorists and natural disasters," he added.
JTF-HD recently concluded their two primary exercises (Makani Pahili and Lightning Rescue) and is currently planning for the 2010 versions of these exercises.
"Conducting realistic exercises are essential tools to prepare our staff and its interagency partners to immediately respond in a crisis" said Pete Hoskam, JTF-HD intelligence planner. He added, "We learn to work together, under pressure, during these demanding events".
Col. David Norton, JTF-HD chief officer, amplified these comments with his training philosophy, "we are constantly challenging our disaster and security preparedness efforts."
In addition to executing land-based operations to defeat terrorist threats to the homeland and conducting DSCA operations for all hazards including responding to and recovering from natural or man-made disasters, JTF-HD also provides Subject Matter Expert Exchange (SMEE) teams to provide training and expertise in the region.
"The SMEE program only enhances our role in disaster preparedness exercises such as Makani Pahili and Lightning Rescue. Efforts such as these are crucial to meeting the trials of the future," Garcia explained.
"We facilitate a tiered response, where incidents are managed at the lowest jurisdictional level possible," Norton stated. "Disasters are increasingly costly and that's one reason why disaster preparedness and management has never been so important."
JTF-HD began operations in 2004. The Army plays the lead role, but the task force is comprised of all branches of the military.
The SMEE seminars are part of a five-step process to improve incident management of its state and local counterparts. The SMEE process includes site and facility surveys (leading to disaster plan reviews), gap analyses (pinpointing resource and skill shortages), major exercises (testing the disaster plans).
Homeland Defense against a wide range of asymmetric threats to include; terrorists, cyber attacks and transnational criminal organizations, requires a coordinated federal and Department of Defense (DoD) effort.
Throughout the Pacific, from Hawaii to Guam and Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, JTF-HD plays many homeland security roles.
The Commander of U.S. Pacific Command at Camp Smith, Hawaii, designated JTF-HD as the Homeland Defense coordinating agency between DoD and the civilian authorities in the Hawaii, Guam and the other local governments. Working closely with Department of Homeland Security and the military organizations in the Pacific, JTF-HD develops a Common Operating Picture and coordinates implementation of a comprehensive Critical Infrastructure Program.
"We can learn a great deal from past disasters, but we dare not wait for another to ensure that we are prepared for the future," said Garcia.
Ever since President Jimmy Carter merged many of the disaster preparedness agencies into FEMA in 1979, in order to centralize federal emergency functions, the United States has been responding to various disasters across the nation.
Following the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C. in 2001, the Homeland Security Act of 2002 further centralized federal emergency functions and integrated FEMA with 22 other agencies and offices into the Department of Homeland Security.
One of the most important developments in recent years was the disaster management legislation passed in the Post-Katrina Emergency Reform Act (of 2006), which significantly reorganized FEMA and closed gaps that were revealed during the response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
"The NRF is a guide to how the nation conducts all-hazards response," Hoskam said. "It was written primarily for elected and appointed government officials and NGO leaders. After the terrorist attacks in 2001 the demand for a better understanding of incident management and response principles led to the creation of the NRP," he added.
Receiving DSCA and other federal assistance during disasters requires that certain stipulations be met.
The first major step is that a declaration of emergency by the president must be established, pursuant to the Stafford Act. In addition, JTF-HD must meet further requirements to conduct DSCA operations. But this doesn't prevent JTF-HD from conducting various other operations in order to facilitate interagency operability and fulfill its mission.
"We currently assist in planning and conducting the two annual exercises, Makani Pahili and Lighting Rescue," said Garcia. "Makani Pahili, means 'great winds' in Hawaiian and is hosted by the state of Hawaii. It is designed to prepare responders for the hurricane season by simulating a hurricane hitting the Hawaiian Islands. The importance of such hurricane preparation was made clear to Hawaiian authorities in 1992 when Hurricane Iniki slammed into the island of Kauai, causing nearly $3 billion in damage."
The Lightning Rescue exercise has generally prepared responders for the threat of pandemic influenza by simulating an inbound airliner carrying passengers that are suspected of being exposed to the Avian Flu. "This year's exercise focused on a present 'real-world' event, the possibility of the H1N1 virus spreading throughout the region," said Norton.
JTF-HD's Makani Pahili and Lightning Rescue exercises, along with its SMEE seminars and other operations, prepare responders for disasters and facilitate interoperability between the organizations and agencies that play roles in the incident management process. JTF-HD sets a prime example of how in the last decade, as a result of devastating disasters such as Hurricane Iniki and the 9/11 terrorist attacks, improvement of our nation's incident management systems has been substantial.
"We've come a long way. Disaster preparedness in the United States has improved dramatically from individual agencies and organizations to the all encompassing Department of Homeland Security, FEMA and even our own JTF-HD," Garcia concluded.

text: There is an interesting NY Times article about more and more men over 30 choosing not to work after unemployment where previously it was assumed all men would try to get back to work. I note it mentions the unemployment rate being very low but that unemployment figures do not include those no longer actively seeking a job. So, as this article has indicated there is an awful lot of people, increasingly men, out there who have stopped bothering to look for jobs that is hiding the true decline in the workforce. Those figures are available (I haven't dug them out for a couple of year) and I'm sure they are illuminating.

Update on MahaMaha is a conservative woman; she asked her husband to take her place in the photo.
Maha and her husband were able to buy a small van to use in distributing the cleaning products they refill and sell. Later on, they started selling various products other than detergents using the van.
Finding that they are having more success in selling ordinary products as shown in the photo than how they did with the cleaning products, Maha has decided to minimize the quantity of cleaning products and focus more on other goods. For that purpose, she has applied for this loan to bring in more goods and products that they can sell around the neighborhood and distribute for the market.
Previous Loan DetailsMaha is a 34-year-old hard-working housewife who has five children to raise with her husband Maher. The two of them decided four years ago to start a small business together and help each other to succeed, so they started selling cleaning products at home which opened a door during these four ...

About National Microfinance BankJordan is a small country located in the heart of the Middle East's Levant region. Regional instability has caused Jordan to be excluded from global investments for decades. Additionally, a lack of natural resources—including water and energy—places tremendous strain on the Jordanian economy, over 80% of which consists of small businesses, largely in the service industry. Despite their importance in the economy, many of these businesses are excluded from the banking sector because of their size. Microfinance institutions like National Microfinance Bank offer them an opportunity to enhance and expand their businesses. NMB also offers its services to other underprivileged peoples in Jordan, providing them with loans to pursue educational goals and improve their homes and livelihoods.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

God, I hate Disney. Not all the time, of course, and in any case, "hate" is probably a strong word. But why does the studio have to keep releasing live-action movies that are inseparable from cartoons, with all of the potentially legitimate conflict inevitably dulled down and scrubbed squeaky-clean? And why does its succession of inspirational sports dramas never feature any actual coaching beyond bland and clichéd motivational speeches? And why do these damned things keep making me weep like a baby?

Early in director Steve Pink's new comedy, miserable fortysomethings Adam (John Cusack), Nick (Craig Robinson), and Lou (Rob Corddry) decide to cheer themselves up with a weekend retreat to the beloved ski lodge of their youth, taking Adam's similarly downbeat nephew Jacob (Clark Duke) along for the trek. In the 24 years since the friends' last visit, the lodge has turned into a weathered dump. But their old room still has a jacuzzi, and after a debaucherous night of liquor, cocaine, and bubbling hot water, the four men awaken, and gradually discover that they've been magically transported to 1986. Gazing at the agent of this disruption with the space/time continuum, Nick says, "It's like some kind of ... hot tub time machine." And then, with the slowest of head movements and the deadest of deadpans, Nick turns and stares down the camera, as if to say, "Are you freaking kidding with this?"

Autodesk Has Partnered With The LEGO Group To Provide 3D Interactive Building Instructions, Powered By Inventor Publisher Technology, For LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3. (Photo: Business Wire)
Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK), a leader in 3D design, engineering and entertainment software, has partnered with The LEGO Group to provide 3D interactive building instructions for LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3, a new platform designed to introduce a younger generation to the excitement of building and programming robots. The LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 set, as well as the 3D building instruction mobile apps and web instructions, will be available in the second half of 2013.Accessible through a mobile app for iOS and Android devices, or over the web at MINDSTORMS.COM, the interactive building instructions—based on Autodesk Inventor Publisher technology—provide an alternative to traditional instructions, bringing the building experience to life. The 3D building instructions allow LEGO MINDSTORMS builders to digitally view how the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 components fit together, making it easier to build even the most sophisticated robot. "The LEGO Group has designed a completely new version of LEGO MINDSTORMS, building upon the same DNA, to excite and challenge an audience of children who have grown up with technology," said Camilla Bottke, LEGO MINDSTORMS project lead at The LEGO Group. "By teaming up with Autodesk, we're delivering a new spin on our hallmark, nonverbal, step-by-step building instructions by providing powerful 3D interactive technology that enhances the LEGO MINDSTORMS experience for today's tech-literate generation of children." Autodesk Inventor Publisher software—which provides an alternative to traditional instructions by generating 3D interactive instructions that run on iPad, Android devices and on the web—powers the building instructions. With the app, LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 builders can digitally view and interact with the LEGO bricks at each step of the building process. At any time, LEGO MINDSTORMS builders can stop the animation, zoom in on a part or rotate it to see exactly how parts need to be fitted together – putting builders in control of the experience and allowing them to see how it's built in the way that makes the most sense to each individual. Additional features geared towards providing a fun play experience for LEGO builders include double-tapping a part for component information, and a Map feature that allows users to see exactly which part of the model is being worked on.

This page contains information regarding new Star Trek material, and thus may contain spoilers.
For the human scientist, please see Charles Darwin.
Darwin was a Human Starfleet officer aboard the USS Enterprise. In 2259, she replaced Pavel Chekov as the ship's navigator when he replaced Montgomery Scott as chief engineer. Darwin remained at her station throughout the hunt for John Harrison and the subsequent battle with the USS Vengeance. She followed Hikaru Sulu's lead in defying Spock's orders to abandon ship and remained at her station until (unknown to her) James T. Kirk realigned the warp core. A relieved Darwin observed that it was a miracle, prompting Spock to comment that there were no such things. (Star Trek Into Darkness)
Darwin was played by Aisha Hinds.

Sorry for the title but I can't find words to explain this exactly. I'm a bit confused in rails when I have to choose where should I place my external libraries.
For example, if I want to prepare a gem which will contain a lot of helpers that I can share across all my applications, what should it do? Should it install those helpers under my app/helpers dir?
Actually these are all directories I know where I could place external libraries:
- vendor/assets
- app/helpers
- vendor/plugins [which has been deprecated if I'm not wrong]
- lib/assets
- lib/tasks
What if I want create a method that can be used in controllers if they include something, where should I place such a file?
If I create a gem that can be used in rails, where should it install files?
I'm a bit lost, I always create a file but I feel a bit uncomfortable because I always don't know where should I place it.
Edit 1:
I want to add also a special case, where do you place a library written in javascript which directory structure is hardly tied up toghether, so you can't move css/images into different directories. How do you handle this? I created a directory in vendor/assets to make it works, but I don't know if it's the best way to solve this issue.

The region has Aca,!A"no shortage of problems,Aca,!A? Petraeus said. Aca,!A"It is indeed a world of contrasts Aca,!" the richest of the rich and the poorest of the poor.Aca,!A?
The CENTCOM region, which includes Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and 17 other countries, is rich in energy-producing reserves of petroleum and natural gas, but it suffers from a dearth of potable water, basic services, adequate governance and economic development, Petraeus said.
Those problems are compounded by the proliferation of terrorist groups, extremist elements, militias, state-based aggression, piracy, smuggling and drug trafficking. Add to that the Aca,!A"youth bulgeAca,!A? Aca,!" 45 percent of the population is between the ages of 15 and 29, inadequately educated or educated in extremism Aca,!" and you have Aca,!A"a fertile field for extremism.Aca,!A?
Though violence in Afghanistan is 60 percent greater this year than last, and concerns in Iran remain Aca,!A"huge,Aca,!A? recent progress in Iraq and Pakistan has been Aca,!A"heartening,Aca,!A? Petraeus said Aca,!" Aca,!A"still fragile and still reversible,Aca,!A? but less so than last year at this time.
Aca,!A"Clearly we have our work cut out for us in this region,Aca,!A? he said.
Full-spectrum counterinsurgency operations are key to success, but countering terrorism requires more than an increase in the number of counter-terrorist forces, Petraeus said. Aca,!A"Full spectrumAca,!A? must include stability operations.
Aca,!A"Wherever you are on the spectrum (of violence), you are going to have to do some measure of offense, defense and stability operations,Aca,!A? he said. Aca,!A"You cannot forget that last category. You have to do it all.Aca,!A?
Aca,!A"WeAca,!a,,cre trying to replace the great game, as itAca,!a,,cs called -- the competition for power and influence between the great powers around the world Aca,!" with a broad partnership, one that is founded on the common interests against extremism coming out of Afghanistan and Pakistan and also the illegal narcotics industry,Aca,!A? he said.
Petraeus reminded his audience, most of them combat veterans, that the surge in Iraq was successful because it went beyond the troop build-up in that area and Aca,!A"embraced a comprehensive approachAca,!A? to COIN operations.
Aca,!A"The surge was really about big ideas, about employing certain counterinsurgency concepts. The biggest idea was that we had to secure the population and serve them, and we had to be seen doing both if they were to support us and our Iraqi partners,Aca,!A? he said, referring to the 77 joint security stations established in the heart of Baghdad. U.S. forces went where the violence was greatest, Petraeus said, and Aca,!A"lived among the people,Aca,!A? signaling their commitment to establish a secure and stable environment.Aca,!A?
A comprehensive Aca,!A"big pictureAca,!A? approach also requires a concerted focus on identifying Aca,!A"reconcilables and irreconcilablesAca,!A? among the insurgent population, he said.
Aca,!A"You canAca,!a,,ct clear and leave Aca,!" you have to clear and hold,Aca,!A? he said. Aca,!A"You get your teeth in the enemy and you donAca,!a,,ct let go. That means finding the irreconcilables, capturing, killing or running them off. ThatAca,!a,,cs our job. ThatAca,!a,,cs reality.
Aca,!A"But you cannot kill or capture your way out of an industrial-strength insurgency,Aca,!A? he said. Aca,!A"YouAca,!a,,cve got to figure out who the reconcilables are Aca,!" who are the bad guys you can get on your side. They have to be reintegrated.Aca,!A?
These lessons learned in Iraq Aca,!A"do not hold us prisoner in Afghanistan,Aca,!A? Petraeus said. Aca,!A"You cannot take what we did in Iraq and import it wholesale.Aca,!A?
Aca,!A"WeAca,!a,,cll take these (lessons) as they are applicable, and let them guide us with a nuanced approach to local situations in (Afghanistan) that are different from district to district and province to province,Aca,!A? he said.
This nuanced approach does not apply in respect to Aca,!A"truthAca,!A? and Army values, Petraeus said. Here, there is no gray area.
Aca,!A"The only thing that works is the brutal truth, and being first with the truth. No spin, no lipstick on pigs,Aca,!A? he said. Where there is a Aca,!A"results problem,Aca,!A? there must not be a message problem.Aca,!A?
Aca,!A"DonAca,!a,,ct try to modify reality,Aca,!A? he said.
The reality in Afghanistan is that the sudden increase in violence there is the result of Aca,!A"our going on the offense,Aca,!A? Petraeus said. Aca,!A"The violence there is a heck of a lot less than the height of violence in Iraq. Still, a 60-percent increase over this time last year is a significant concern. It reflects the resilience and growth of the Taliban.Aca,!A?
Afghanistan will take a sustained, substantial commitment, he said. Aca,!A"ItAca,!a,,cs serious, but doable, as youAca,!a,,cve heard it said.Aca,!A?
Petraeus urged his audience to recognize their place in Aca,!A"the big picture.Aca,!A? From time to time, he said, Soldiers fall victim to the Aca,!A"Ground Hog Day syndromeAca,!A? Aca,!" each day seems to be a repeat of the last.
Aca,!A"WeAca,!a,,cre all afflicted with it. If youAca,!a,,cre the CENTCOM commander, youAca,!a,,cll occasionally suffer from it. One day is just like the last and the next day will be the same,Aca,!A? he said. Aca,!A"You have to remind yourself that you matter.
"Your leadership, your professional competence, your example Aca,!" they matter. The qualities you possess as a leader Aca,!" they really do make a difference in the overall efforts, in the big picture. Each of you matters greatly.Aca,!A?

text: Vanish by edisonnoside published on 2012-07-02T13:55:35Z The experimental short film 'VANISH' is a mesmerizing journey through surreal landscapes in complete interconnection with the music. It is an audiovisual collaboration between musician Davide Cairo (Edisonnoside) and new media artist Daniel Schwarz. Davide created a unique and tangible direction in which music is an offshoot of materials and structures in perfect harmony with the visual aspect of the project. While simultaneously maintaining a melodic and easy listening dimension. Daniel based the visual language on those items and transformed them into constructions in a surreal, dream-like world. Through real-time sound analysis and a vast variety of algorithms each sound finds its embodiment in different geometrical representations, depending on volume, pitch, note and characteristic. Kinetic sculptures react live to the music and augment the scenery even further. Additionally the audio reactive graphics did not appear onscreen, but were projected and mapped on physical objects and sculptures.

UV Maps
Wed Jul 17, 2013 4:09 pm
Hi I've been looking at transitions but can find no examples of how to use UV map anywhere.
I understand that it's typically used in 3D but that doesn't mean that it can't be used to distort 2d any which way you like and indeed that distortion be animated (so a video that's a UV map). I've used UV mapping on 2D writing demos in assembler on a 286/386, so I'm familar with the concept for 2D graphics.
The kind of effect I wantes to produce was dropping text possibly with some additional morphing or other types of morphing.
This effect isn't avaiable but it should be perfectly possible to do it with a UV map, some uv maps (like making the video turn into say 2 pixel line segments scrolling up and down the screen getting progressivly longer and faster) should be a kind of stock UV map that can be used with lots of things. (But I can't find anything like that on the internet)
So anyhow, how do I create a UV map that can be used with KDEN Lives Transition feature (format and preferbly some software suggestions, though I'm not beyond writing a bit of C code to create some)? And can I create an animated one.
Re: UV Maps
Tue Jul 23, 2013 2:30 am
If you want to create a new transition you would need to use the MLT frame work. Kdenlive just calls MLT functionality. You would write a new Frei0r filter to do the job. See http://www.mltframework.org/bin/view/ML ... r-addition for example.

Iron pill
Comments (10)
**Our pride and joy Bronson Wesley 3/14/12**
9:51am, 7lb13oz, 21.5in
Loving Wife & Mommy
I have low iron and i get so so sick form supplements. i found something at the health food store that works very well! its called floradix i think. it has a red box. definitely try it. tasted pretty good and really works well. check it out.
Doc gave me a sample of ferralet. Made me burp up the most disgusting tasting things and i was so extremely nauseous for the entire day. Didnt realize it was the iron pill until i took it again a couple of days later (forgot to take it for one day) and the same thing happened.
I now use slowfe or floradix - no side effects whatsoever.
I take ferrous sulfate about 30 mins before breakfast, because my doctor told me it's better absorbed on an empty stomach and shouldnt be combined with the calcium supplement which I do take at breakfast. Sometimes it makes my stomach hurt a bit or makes me run to the bathroom before breakfast, but most of the time, I feel ok.
I just started this horrible stuff and I have been burping it up all day. Tastes like what I imagine rotten bean sprouts would taste like. It's terrible. I've taken TUMS and ginger ale and everything to try and flush it out of my stomach but I keep burping it up. Going to tell my Ob it's a no-go. I would rather get iron infusions with an IV once a month than deal with this stuff. For those of you who say you found gentle supps from Whole Foods etc. please list the names and doses! Thanks!

Ever since he led Butler to back-to-back NCAA Div I finals, Brad Stevens has always been the top choice for top-tier universities with head coaching openings. The latest one being UCLA, who just fired Ben Howland. But apparently, Brad made his choice subtly known via Twitter. BUCoachStevens:Love walking thru Hinkle in the morning… Anxious to get started on our spring workouts next week. And so the search probably continues in Westwood. If I were Dan Guerrero (UCLA AD), I'd take a page from their football playbook and look at someone with pro experience, just like what they did with the Jim Mora hire. As for Butler, I don't think he's going anywhere, unless there are two jobs opening up. And I don't think either of those will be coming in the imminent future. He does however have to fill up an opening in his coaching staff, as Matthew Graves departs to take on the South Alabama job.

While preparing for an important business deal, two clueless bachelors (John Travolta, Robin Williams) become the unexpected caretakers of twin children.
It's confirmed. Director Walt Becker's Old Dogs, starring John Travolta and Robin Williams, is as bad as it looks from the trailer. (And that's really bad.)
"...stupefying dimwitted."
— Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"Wild Hogs, Old Dogs — what's next, Bumps on Logs? Truly, I would rather watch John Travolta and Robin Williams sitting on a tree trunk, doing nothing, than endure their best efforts to energize this ol' hound."
— Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
"Old Dogs does to the screen what old dogs do to the carpet. It's unfortunate that only the latter can be taken out and shot."
— Kyle Smith, New York Post
"So wretched that it should be unceremoniously put down, Old Dogs is a series of sub-sitcom sequences designed to destroy any affection once felt for John Travolta and Robin Williams."
— Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
"Six-year-old boys may laugh at the bowwow of a comedy Old Dogs. But then, 6-year-old boys laugh at the word poop — and the word poop plays a big steaming part in this stinky endeavor."
— Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

- Place the mushrooms and chicken on the lower oven rack and the squash on the upper rack. Roast, stirring (or turning) once halfway through, until the mushrooms are browned and the chicken is cooked through, 14 to 16 minutes, and the squash is tender, 18 to 24 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1 table spoon canola oil, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard with vinegar, soy sauce, maple syrup (or agave) and pepper in a blender; puree until smooth.
- When the vegetables are done, transfer half the mushrooms and any juice from the roasted chicken to the blender. Add water and puree until almost smooth.
- Place greens in a clean large bowl. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, chop or shred into bite-size pieces. Add the chicken to the bowl along with the squash, the remaining roasted mushrooms and the dressing; toss to coat. Serve immediately.

A red herring without mustard
by Bradley, C. Alan, 1938-
There are no copies available
Where To Find It
Call number: BOCD Mystery
Additional Details
Compact discs.
Read by Jayne Entwistle.
Flavia had asked the old Gypsy woman to tell her fortune, but never expected to stumble across the poor soul, bludgeoned in the wee hours in her own caravan. Was this an act of retribution by those convinced that the soothsayer had abducted a local child years ago? Certainly Flavia understands the bliss of settling scores; revenge is a delightful pastime when one has two odious older sisters. But how could this crime be connected to the missing baby? Had it something to do with the weird sect who met at the river to practice their secret rites? While still pondering the possibilities, Flavia stumbles upon another corpse, that of a notorious layabout who had been caught prowling about the de Luce's drawing room.
Reviews & Summaries
Community Reviews
Another murder in 1950s Britain
I very much appreciated having a young female character demonstrate so much intelligence and bravery, something I find lacking in many novels for children. Readers should note, however, that as it is set in the 1950s, the Flavia series does demonstrate the prejudices of the era, including sexism and xenophobia. In this novel, Flavia meets with a Gypsy family (the name given to the Romany people by Europeans who mistakenly believed the nomadic people originally came from Egypt). The family endures much of the bigotry that English people of the time directed at them.
I enjoyed hearing Jayne Entwistle read this mystery series as her British accent lends the stories an authenticity not available when one reads it silently to oneself.

Do you plan on using disposable diapers or cloth? If using cloth diapers do you know what brand you plan to use?
I'm leaning towards cloth diapers but having a hard time deciding which brand to use.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

I'll be using cloth. I primarily have Kawaii, HipKiddo and Tiny Tush OS pockets.
Group leader, KWC Babywearing Group
i have used kawaii with my sone i love them... i use disposable as well, i like to alternate.
James Alexander 1-09-2008 my first love
Tyler Preston 11-02-2010 Added to love a day after my b-day
Brienne Rose 09-14-2012
I use cloth. I mostly use Bum Genius 4.0 pockets and smartipants pockets.
Me (32) and DH (36)
Mom to two boys, B 10/11/10 and Z 9/6/12
I use disposables on my DS full time right now because #1 my daycare wont do cloth and #2 I dont have the energy with this pregnancy to do cloth.
When this LO is born and gets past the merconium phase I will try to CD both kiddos at night and on weekends...
I absolutely LOVE my sunbaby diapers!
EBFing, CDing, Babywearing, ERF for our family!
I do cloth, I use prefolds (osocozy one are really nice, they are on amazon) and thirsties covers. Check out diaperswappers.com. they are awesome! You can buy used dipes too for realy good prices
We are planning to use cloth. I like Thirsties. I am not sure if we have daycare on board or not so we may end up getting disposable inserts (asking them to keep the peepee ones and not put in trash).
Crunchy Mama to Hazel Elizabeth and water birth baby, Henry Patrick! Due with #3 in August!
Check out this cloth diaper trial, I did it with my son and it totally helped me decide what brands I wanted. I have done cloth since February and love it. I use disposables out of the house (with my toddler) but probably wont with my newborn because blowouts are prevented or greatly decreased by cloth diapers.
Happily married since 2009
Adoring my sons born 7/10 and 9/12
Cloth AIO are what was recommended to me, les energy stuffing, unstuffing and so on, I went with Grovia AIO, we will see how I like it this fall. A friend also suggested to stick with one type and make it eady on you and the SO, who might reject cloth if you trow all sorts of kinds, ruels, needs to fold, stuff, etc.

Before and After
You look great. I can't wait to look that good.
Jenee wife to Robert 6/08 and mommy to Alexander 11/08 (ASD/ADHD).
You look great :)
I would do before n after but I am not sure how to post pictures
if you upload your pics to your babycenter profile, you can just have your pic open in a new window, click, drag, and drop it into the comment box...
or if you use photobucket, copy/paste the html code (it starts w/ "< a href =" but without spaces)
i'm so glad somebody else is willing to post pics!
Lookin good! Cant post mine, im not an "after" yet lol!
25 year old SAHM to C (age 5-Only child by choice)
BS1 Started 9/1/13 & completed 9/16/13
BS2 Started 9/17/13 & now 8.51% completed
im new here too. is it ok if i ask you how long that took you to do?
i may have lost my virginity, but i still have the box it came in.
i waited until my DD was weaned to start actually working on losing weight so that it wouldn't effect my supply (had supply issues towards the end)...so she weaned in the middle of march. i tried various workout dvds for a couple of weeks before i found 30-day shred. i did 30-day shred for 6 weeks (about 6 days a week) and lost the first 14lb. i kept working out a few days a week, but mainly focused on portion control, calorie counting, diet, etc...it took me about 6 months to drop over 30lb.
well you look fabulous:).
i guess my goal might be a little unrealistic then eh? 1m 170 now and i want to hit 150 by xmas.
im calorie counting thanks in part to the intro in this group and im actually doing the"biggest loser" dvds( cardio and circuit training 30- 45 mins for now) with bob, jillian and kim(btw what happened to kim this season).
i may have lost my virginity, but i still have the box it came in.
opps i hit the button too fast lol.
i also dont eat after 8. if im hungry ill drink some apple cider with honey or suck on a sugar free russel stovers butterscotch hard candy. ive been doing super well in that department as im usually a big night eater.
i havent lost any weight on the scale as of yet but people are commenting that they can see some weight loss(inches i suppose) in my face, belly and my butt. i started doing the strict diet and exercise a little before my birthday which was on oct 25th.
ok thats a little bit about my situation so far.
i may have lost my virginity, but i still have the box it came in.

Challenge Ideas & Discussion
View Single Post

Join Date: Jul 2011
Gender: Male
Posts: 11
I am really interested in making a challenge so I came up with an idea that I don't have a name for yet.
What you have to do is, for each gym, you have to only have one pokemon and that pokemon is weak to the gym leaders pokemon.
For instance, on Brock because he's rock, you have to use ONE of the following:
A fire-type pokemon (Maybe your starter)
An ice-type pokemon (sneasel)
A flying type pokemon (pidgey)
A bug type pokemon (caterpie)
(those arent the ones you have to use, just examples)
On the first gym you are allowed to level your pokemon to level 15 then you have to go straight to the first gym.
I am currently thinking of other level caps but I would like to make this challenging but not impossible.
On the elite four you have to use JUST the one pokemon that is weak to the trainer and if you die on that trainer you have to reset until you defeat them.
On the champion you can use all of your pokemon.
Do you guys understand what I am trying to explain about how my challenge would work? Feedback would be appreciated

2012 Honda Crosstour Four-Cylinder Lowers MSRP, Gains MPGs
In addition to dropping the Accord part of its name, the 2012 Honda Crosstour is also getting a new engine option for a more affordable and more fuel-efficient base model. With the V-6 engine, the Crosstour starts at $30,340, but the new four-cylinder model will undercut that price significantly with a lower MSRP of $27,655 which doesn't include the $810 destination and handling charge. All 2012 Honda Crosstour models are built at Honda's East Liberty Auto Plant in Marysville, Ohio, and this new inline-four model is in dealers now.
The "new" engine in the Crosstour is the same 2.4-liter DOHC i-VTEC inline-four currently offered in the Honda Accord (among other Honda and Acura models), and it produces 192 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque. This is a slight increase of 2 hp over the Accord EX models, but still trailing the 201-hp output of the Acura TSX. In the Crosstour, this engine not only helps drop the entry point for pricing, it also increases the fuel economy with EPA estimates of 21 miles per gallon in the city, 29 mpg on the highway and a rating of 24 mpg in combined driving. This is an improvement of 3 mpg in the city and 2 mpg on the highway compared to the V-6-powered 2011 Accord Crosstour. Regardless of engines, all 2012 Crosstour models use a five-speed automatic transmission, and the new four-cylinder Crosstour models will be front-wheel drive only.
2012 Honda Crosstour Four-Cylinder Lowers MSRP, Gains MPGs
Honda is also adding plenty of standard features to the 2012 Honda Crosstour to make even the base models very well equipped. Some of these standard features include a power moonroof, a backup camera with a display built into the rearview mirror, Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity and a 360-watt audio system that includes a six-disc CD changer and a USB port. Stepping up to the $30,705 Crosstour EX-L, customers get plenty of added luxury including leather seats, memory driver's seat, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift lever, dual-zone climate control and XM Radio. Finally, the Crosstour EX-L with Navigation gets all the EX-L goodies plus Honda's satellite-linked navigation system as well as a $32,805 starting price.
The 2012 Honda Crosstour equipped with the smaller engine option can be distinguished from the V-6 models by its 17-inch, five, triple-spoke alloy wheels. The Crosstour also adds two new colors for 2012 called Twilight Blue Metallic and Basque Red Pearl II.
"The new four-cylinder Crosstour offers sleek design, unmatched passenger comfort and ingenious functionality now with four-cylinder pricing and fuel economy," said John Mendel, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "With four-cylinder and V6 options and a long list of standard features, Crosstour should be on every CUV buyer's shopping list."

I get really upset with these scams, from which I get constant hits on my News feeds. They have done a rather amazing job of creating something that looks real, but is NOT.
I sure hope that some agency starts to crack down on these guys as, the generosity of their offers to you, seems to indicate that they are stealing lots of people's money and doing well enough at it to afford to market even more, and hurt more people.
I for one, appreciate your report, and hope more take responsibility like you have!!
Good job!Reply
Oh yes, this whole pay-to-jailbreak websites are working pretty well for these guys. Thanks for adding your thoughts here.Reply
Same problem with you guys and now I'm starting to hate myself of loving an apple products.. ArrgggghhReply
"Same problem with you guys…" Not sure why you said that, but email me if we did anything wrong here.Reply

Steak 'n Shake, Burgermeister scouting O.C. and L.A.
A number of rising stars in the fast-food industry will be gathering this weekend at a Los Angeles convention where attendees have expressed big plans to expand their brands in California, including Orange County.
Popular chains scouting locations in Orange County include Bay Area foodie favorite� Burgermeister and� Midwest giant� Steak 'n Shake.�
Burgermeister, known for its gourmet Niman Ranch burgers, is looking for locations in North Orange County.
Steak 'n Shake, one of the oldest burger chains operating in the country,� is looking to add up to 25 units in Southern California.� � The 77-year-old chain would be an oddity in Southern California as its restaurants offer full-service dining, as well as drive-through service.
[caption id="attachment_135543" align="alignright" width="221" caption="I've eaten at a Steak 'n Shake in Florida, and in Pennsylvania. � Both times were enjoyable experiences. The burgers are juicy, flavorful and cheap! Shakes are pretty darn good, though it's hard to go wrong with a Oreo cookie shake. (Photo by Nancy Luna)"][/caption]
Company executives for both restaurants are attending the� West Coast Franchise Expo� at the Los Angeles Convention Center this weekend, Nov. � 4-6.
Officials at Steak 'n Shake, � known for its tall shakes and juicy "smash" grilled steak burgers,� declined to comment further on their expansion plans.
Other restaurant chains attending the convention include � Cici's Pizza,� Lenny's Sub Shop� and� Firehouse Subs.
A representative for Lenny's Sub Shop said it would like to open up to 50 restaurants in the next five years in Orange and Los Angeles counties.
Erik Reese, director of operations and development at Burgermeister, � said the seven-unit chain would like to "see four to eight locations in the L.A. and Orange County market within the next few years."
"We hope to find a great group of passionate franchisees that understand our concept and share our enthusiasm for a good burger," he said.
The chain is targeting North Orange County, beach area property, Culver City, Santa Monica and Los Angeles for new locations.
"We understand that the burger market is tough, especially in an area that offers so many choices," Reese said. "We feel that our concept, which has already succeeded in the Bay Area, will continue to thrive in the L.A. and Orange County markets. It's not often you find a $15 quality burger for $8, including fries."

Cognitive radio technology solves the problem of spectrum underutilization by allowing the unlicensed users to opportunistically access available spectrum without affecting the activity of licensed user. Channel assignment and routing in cognitive radio networks is especially challenging in networks where nodes are equipped with only a single transceiver (as is the case in commodity wireless networks that run IEEE 802.11 DCF MAC). We propose a combined framework of routing and channel assignment that exploits channel diversity in cognitive radio networks to optimize routing performance and increase the network capacity. Specifically, we propose a joint cross-layer routing/ channel assignment protocol based on AODV that works without any central control channel and accounts for the state of the links. In this paper, we propose to keep a backup channel to cater for channel heterogeneity thereby avoiding end to end re-route procedures. We also propose cooperative channel switching in which various nodes exchange routing and control information in a coordinated way. Simulation results show that our proposed backup channel approach ensures higher connectivity as compared to the single channel approach as the number of channels interfered with increases.
