What should I do if my in-laws are nasty and mean towards me?
An experienced family-law attorney, John Spiegel has devoted his practice exclusively to family mediation since 1996. John is a graduate of Yale Law School and has been active as a mediation trainer and presenter in Maryland and nationally. He served in 2003 and 2004 as President of the Maryland Council for Dispute Resolution (MCDR), a statewide ADR practitioners' organization, and in 2005 – 2008 as President of the Montgomery County Divorce Roundtable, an interdisciplinary professional organization. John has published articles on mediation and law reform issues and has lobbied on behalf of these issues before the Maryland General Assembly. In 2001, he received recognition as a Certified Mediator from MCDR. The father of four children, John views mediation as a continuation of his legal work on behalf of children and families.
What should I do if my in-laws are nasty and mean towards me?
Family-law attorney John Spiegel discusses the importance of recognizing that you do have a choice of whether or not to build a relationship with in-laws.

John Spiegel: My name is John Spiegel. I am a full time family mediator and we are going to talk now about how to handle tense situations with in-laws.
Host: What I should do if my in-laws are nasty and mean towards me?
John Spiegel: These things can be so hard. The starting point, I think, is to keep in mind that you are a good person. You are trying to do your best in this situation and not to take these harsh comments and these inappropriate comments that might be made, not to take them personally. In fact, some people find it's helpful to take a three by five file card before a family reunion and just right on it. I am a good person and I am not going to take any of this personally. So, that way, it would be a starting point.
The basic concept here is taking leadership, thinking strategically. So, part of thinking strategically about an in-law relationship is recognizing that people are going to bring a history and they are going to bring expectations to it and the things may come out of their mouth that are not nice, not easy to hear. Don't make a whole lot of sense, it's not because they are bad human beings, it's because their thinking is getting pulled off track by their history that they may bring. There could be prejudices involved loads of things that have nothing to do with you.
So, if you start out with the idea that this could happen and that you are not going to take it personally. Often, it's possible to listen through this stuff and just ask people, well, what's it about that, that bothered you and then they may say some stuff. Why you did this. You did this and I didn't like this and it can be quite disarming and quite useful than to say to someone and then what else. Because they are not expecting somebody to have that kind of relaxed confidence in the situation. Then, they may say, well, you know, as a matter of fact, now that you mentioned it, it bothered me that me that, blah, blah, blah, they will say, some more stuff and then if you can stay relaxed and say, well, what else bothered you and eventually you get to the point, where they will say, "you know I think that's it" And often they will have a big smile on their face at the end because they are not expecting to be listened to and often times if people have a chance to say ugly things that's on their mind and somebody else doesn't take it personally, stays calm, it's like a huge gift.
I am not saying you have to be a masochist about this. But to the extent you have the attention and you thought about this possibility beforehand, I think you will find it much easier.

I'm giving a small presentation to a group of C/C++ programmers who have very little experience with functional languages. Part of the presentation mentions Erlang, and I would like to give a specific small code example.
There is a ton of awesome information on StackOverflow about how/where Erlang is used and its advantages. One of the most common advantages I see is how it can do a lot with just a little terse code, especially compared to C/C++.
I am looking for a good code snippet of Erlang that simply illustrates these types of benefits. Especially something thats easily done in Erlang with few lines, that would be much more complicated in C/C++.
Anyone have any interesting suggestions?

Do I think she had affair with this same man? Nope!
by snare&racket 75 Replies latest jw friends
Do I think she had affair with this same man? Nope!
"Vaughn(Jehovah's Witness family spokesman most likely the COBE) declined to comment on accusations against Holt, who is a Jehovah's Witness and was acquainted with both the Heichels, possibly through Jehovah's Witness gatherings, investigators said. Several small congregations of around 100 people each meet at different times in the same Kingdom Hall."
These are his wedding pictures inside the Kingdom Hall..
After seeing the wedding pics, I think affair is possible.
My guess, holt wanted an affair, but she didn't.
It is so sad. I am sorry that this happened. Things like this are occurring on an almost daily basis. I just read on another board that there is a 12 year old girl missing since yesterday afternoon. My thoughts are with all who have lost loved ones to evil people who's only desire it is to hurt others.
So the murderer was another JW?
Funny... none of the hordes of JWs across the country posting about the missing/murdered girl on Facebook bothered to post that news once it was discovered...
My condolences to the family of the girl, but it kinda pisses me off how the JW community acts. People go missing and get murdered every day in the country...in the world... and JWs pay it no mind - other than to use it to market their paranoia - but when it happens to them personally, you often get the attitude of, "Oh it's so much more horrible when it happens to us, God's chosen people". And now... your murderer is one of you? Welcome to the real world...
... so sad.... heartbreaking, really
The gathering included references to scriptures that might lend comfort in a time of crisis, said a congregational elder, but wasn't materially different from a regular service.
Satanus - "My guess, holt wanted an affair, but she didn't."
More like his marriage was dysfunctional, he had increasingly severe mental and emotional problems, he developed an infatuation with her, the infatuation became obsession, and eventually he couldn't stop himself from "purging" the obsession.
I will suspend judgement until more is known. It's no use to anyone to speculate on what happened.
Bertrand Russell: "If it's true then you should believe it and if it's false than you shouldn't. And if you can't find out whether it's true or false then you should suspend judgment."
Anyone remember Christan Longo? He was just a sociopath turned physcopath. Sadly, a small number of people are just "wired wrong" from birth. They have no conscience. The Scioipath Next Door is a good book if you're interested in phycology. Christan Longo has been called one. He killed his entire family. I was at a neighboring kh at the time. Regardless, my sympathy to the friends & family of this senselessly murdered woman.
I find the speculation on here to be crude and inappropriate.
JW or not, this is a terrible tragedy, especially for her husband who clearly loves her deeply in those photographs.
My thoughts are with him.
I agree, some of the speculations here are riddled in soap opera drama and all sorts of ridiculousnesss. This is a monstrous crime that no rational or normal human being would commit. Also a trend I keep noticing lately is where certain people on these news websites are spewing JW hate and debates over the news of this poor girls murder; NONE of this has anything to do with doctrine or WT history! Some people are making "apostates" look like sick chickens in front of both jws and non-jws!
nuthouse escapee said:
Holt will go to prison...and his wife if in JW's will not be free to divorce and remarry, so becomes another casualty in this tragedy. Wonder what made him snap. Leslie
If Hold raped Whitney, then Holt's wife would be free to marry.
Saw the "Memorial" FB page last night. Someone on my account posted something on it. Most of the posts were just giving condolences, but then you get those "I can't wait until Jehovah destroys this wicked system!" comments.
What wicked system is that?
Is this guy's congregation part of that wicked system?
Its amazing how they divide the world up.
I didn't see that coming. I read rumors yesterday, but thought maybe he was someones crazy bible study...to find out he was a baptised JW and see pics of him with HIS wife...I wasn't expecting that. I am sure more crazy info to come.
Cause of death:
UPDATE: The autopsy results are back for 21-year-old Starbucks barista Whitney Heichel. A Multnomah County medical examiner says Whitney was killed by "multiple gunshots." Time of death has not yet been released.
The statement was made that Holt was "irregular" at the meetings.
Statement from Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall in Gresham:
We were completely shocked to find out that Jonathan Holt, an irregular attendee of our meetings, was arrested and would be in any way tied to this case as a suspect. Jehovah's Witness regard life as precious, a gift from God. We had no indications that would lead us, prior to this event that he would be capable of being involved in what is alleged to have happened. We have no knowledge of the events that led up to what took place with the disappearance of Whitney and know none of the details of what took place after her abduction. We will await the authorities' investigation, and fully cooperate with them as they work through this numbing and disturbing case. Our local congregations especially feel the pain. So many families have been severely impacted by this senseless act of violence committed against our daughter, sister, and friend. Jonathans wife is too an innocent victim, and our love and support is as strong for her and her family. It will take a long time for her to heal. With God's help, and assistance from our brothers and sisters, we will recover and use our experience to help others.
how sad......

The SuicideGirl gamer of the week this week is Fabrizia Suicide. She is a retro gamer that enjoys all types of video games including fighters, beat 'em ups, and puzzle games. I sat down to talk with her about some of her all-time favorite games and how she became a SuicideGirl.
I Googled the name "Fabrizia" and saw it was a type of UGG boot. That isn't where you came up with your nickname, is it?
Hahahaha... that's the first I've heard of that and to tell you the truth I am not happy about it! Actually, I came up with the name after seeing the film "The Number 23" starring Jim Carrey. I really dug the movie and the name just stuck to me. It was memorable and unique and I think it's sexy. (It's also a fairly common Italian name, F.Y.I.) Many people have said that it reminds them of the Febreeze air freshener and have asked me if that's where I got it from. Sure. I named myself after a deodorizer. If I were going to do that I'd call myself Lysol Suicide, haha. But the UGG reference? All I can say is, "Ugh." (Intentional corny pun).
How did you get into modeling for the SuicideGirls?
The first time I had heard about Suicide Girls was when Showtime featured them on the show "Real Sex" a number of years ago. I was enthralled by the idea that tattooed, pierced, punk and goth chicks were being showcased and presented as beautiful because the mainstream media and other outlets for pinup and nude modeling did not accept the idea that we could ever be perceived as sexy. I was really into Riot Girl and the punk scene in the 1990's, which focused a lot on DIY type stuff like fanzines, local music, and DIY fashion. I saw Suicide Girls as the perfect fusion of all of this, plus glamour and sexiness. The combination intrigued me because it took two aspects of my life that I thought would never go together.
I was modeling for artists and dancing, working in peepshows for a few years, and was always discouraged from looking too "alternative" or "weird." I was also happy to find out that SG was started by a woman, Missy Suicide. I became a member and eventually decided to submit my first set in 2008. I became a SG in 2010 and have had four sets featured on the front page so far. The models choose how they want to be portrayed. We control our sexual agency and choose how we are depicted in our photo sets. That is important to me. It's really different than how most non-members perceive it. We're a community, a social networking site, and so much more than just alt-porn. I've met some truly amazing people and have received so many opportunities through SG. I love it!
Tell me about your tattoos. Any current plans for more?
I'll start with the bad: I waited to get my first until I was 23. I cringe when I tell you that it's one of those lower back tattoos... hahaha. But at least it's not tribal! It's a Celtic knot work piece with a green jewel in the middle. I might cover it eventually but I haven't so far because I'm just like, screw that! It was my first! My upper left arm is going to be lasered soon - I think my taste and appreciation for certain types of styles and artistic elements has definitely changed as I've gotten older and more exposed to different tattoo art. I didn't know what I liked or why, and ended up with something I now want gone! It's a combo of something I drew and a background that was added later, including a locket, key, eye and ivy.
Now for the good, in chronoligical order:
On my thigh I have a peacock that starts on my hip and ends right by the knee. It was done by Ralph at Addicted to Ink, in White Plains NY. It's huge, and took a really long time. I got it in 2008.
All of my other work was done at New York Adorned, in Manhattan. I will continue get all of my work done at New York Adorned now. Every artist in that place is amazing. There's so much talent in there that you can't leave that place with a "bad" tattoo. I'm confident enough to say that! Damion Ross did the gypsy tattoo on my right arm, and I still love it so much. I fell in love with the traditional style of tattooing and after that, decided that this was the style I wanted the rest of my tattoos to be done in. Brad Stevens has done a total of five of my tattoos. I keep going back to him because he gets it. He's amazingly talented and has an understanding and appreciation traditional aesthetic. His style is exactly what I'm into. He understands what it is that I want even before I do sometimes!
I started out getting the two birds on my left forearm, in two separate sessions, and knew I was coming back. My next piece from Brad was the butterfly and girl head on my chest. It is so gorgeous. I think he really outdid himself. A chestpiece is a commitment and it's really just beautiful. I got a really awesome Halloween pinup from him on my left thigh, because I had been seeing so many of these done by him and just needed to have one! Recently, he did a tiger head and blue rose on my right arm, just under the gyspy. I'm going to be getting more soon... until I run out of room or his hands fall off. He also uses vegan inks, which is a plus for me. I've been vegan for a few months and only recently found out that tattoo inks can contain animal products (carmine used for red ink is derived from a type of beetle. Who knew?!)
I don't have any stories for you about my tattoo meanings. They are all art that I enjoy collecting. I prefer the American traditional style but also really like Japanese, even though I don't have any. Both styles are classic, enduring, and just plain cool.
Riot Girl...?
Actually it's spelled "Riot Grrrl," a feminist DIY punk rock scene/movement that started in Washington in the early 90's that included bands like Bikini Kill, Bratmobie, and Huggy Bear to name a few. It was also a sub culture of sorts and there were Riot Grrrl chapters and groups that would meet up and create fanzines, art and support feminist issues through activism and through their music.
You know if you end up covering up your first tattoo, a segment of your fans will be very sad...
Do you really think so? I don't know if anyone will notice since I keep adding on! If I cover it I can promise I'll pick out something cool! I'm not so sure that lower back tattoos are "relevant" anymore (which is actually irrelevant!), as they seem to have gone the way of the ankle tattoo in the 1980's, hahaha... but I'm ok with that. I'm not concerned with what other people think of my tattoos or trying to be trendy, but I do appreciate all of the compliments I get from fans. It's awesome and I appreciate them being so nice and that they enjoy my collection as much as I do.
So you're also a gamer. What are some of your favorite video games?
I'm old school. I looove Ms. Pacman and Tetris! I know they're simple but that's the beauty of it... you just get sucked in and stuck there forever. My favs are the old side-scrollers! Streets of Rage 2 is my favorite, I think. I also dig Castelvania for Super NES, any Super Mario game prior to the N64 (sorry wasn't into it!), and some classics from the original NES worth mentioning are: Paperboy, Bubble Bobble, Friday the 13th, and Mike Tyson's Punchout!
I also am an Altered Beast fan. Rise from your grave! Super Metroid, Skate or Die, and I love me some Genesis too. I've played Sonic the Hedgehog a lot. Once I played Dr. Mario for so long I thought pills were falling from the sky. Speaking of getting stuck in games... DOOM! Original scary game. I'm also big on Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, but Kung Fu was the original, hahaha.
That is an interesting story about playing Dr. Mario. Have you ever heard of the Tetris Effect?
Yes, and as you can see I have experienced it firsthand. It's pretty scary how long you can get sucked into the vortex of a simple puzzle game.
What's your high score on Tetris?
Oh dear... I have no idea! I'm pretty good though. That game will suck you in until everything around you becaomes a piece that needs to fit somewhere... hahaha.
I seem to meet a lot of retro gamers these days. What is it that makes old school games more appealing to you than new stuff? Is it nostalgia and that you grew up with it?
It's definitely nostalgic, and I just think that the retro games were cooler. Maybe it's my age, but I prefer a crappy 16-bit game dammit.
Who are your favorite characters to use in Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat?
I used to use Dhalsim and Sakura, but I don't really have a favorite because there are too many. As for Mortal Kombat, let's see... Raiden, Shang Tsung, Scorpion, and Sindel.
Your profile says you're also into nutrition. What is a healthy snack that gamers could munch on while gaming for long hours that won't give them a gut but also tastes good? Don't say baby carrots!
First, I have to just say that I don't believe in sitting anywhere for long hours. If you're a gamer, I know this is a common scenario but there needs to be a balance. You don't NEED a snack when you're parked on your butt all day and should get outside so you don't miss out on life and the world. It's important to have balance in life, for everyone, not just gamers.
Now to answer your question, I would suggest fruit, nuts, some homemade guacamole (mmm...guacamole...oops distracted!), and stop drinking that carbonated sugary garbage! I think everyone should eat healthfully for both themselves and for the health of the planet. I'm not perfect and definitely have my share of lazy days hiding under a blanket eating peanut butter out of a jar watching crap shows on TV, but I try not to make it a habit.
Where can fans find more of you?

I have
ASSERT(x) macro and I want to call
return if it asserts (in release configuration).
To do this I need to know return type of function where I use this
ASSERT. How to get it (I deal with
LLVM GCC 4.2 compiler)?
My ASSERT macro:
#define ASSERT(x) \
if(!(x)) {
LOG ("ASSERT in %s: %d", __FILE__, __LINE__); \
return /*return_type()*/; \
PS: I tried
return 0; - compiler shows error for void functions (and I didn't try it for complex returning types), if
return; - error for non-void functions.
I'll answer to werewindle, nyarlathotep and jdv-Jan de Vaan here. I use standard
assert for debug configuration. But after beta-testing I still get crash reports from final customers, and in most cases I need to change my crashing functions:
ASSERT (_some_condition_);
if (!_some_condition_) // add this return
return _default_value_;
I understand, that my program may crash probably later (otherwise it will definitely crash in current function). Also I can't quit application because developing is for iPhone (apps may not quit programmatically there). So the easiest way would be to "auto return" when assertion failed.

Juniper Jumps From Nasdaq to NYSE
TheStreet) -- Juniper Networks (JNPR - Get Report) is shifting its listing from the Nasdaq (NDAQ - Get Report) to the New York Stock Exchange Euronext (NYX), as the two trading heavyweights battle for clients. The networking specialist announced the move after the market closed Tuesday, explaining that many of its main partners and customers are already NYSE listed. Juniper rivals Alcatel-Lucent (ALU) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ - Get Report) also trade on the NYSE, and the switch maker has already clinched a major deal to supply its technology to the exchange.Juniper expects to begin NYSE trading Oct. 29 under its current "JNPR" ticker symbol. Shares of the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based firm crept up 4 cents, or 0.15%, to $26.99 Wednesday, as the Nasdaq slipped 0.08%. The networking firm's shift comes at a time when the two exchanges are going head to head for new client listings. Revenues from listings and data feeds account for up to 35% of the exchanges' overall revenues, according to Reuters, and an improving economy means intensified competition. With more than 8,000 listed companies, the NYSE dwarfs the Nasdaq's tally of just over 3,700, although the NASDAQ OMX Group says that demand is increasing. The exchange has 171 listings in the pipeline from sectors such as biotech, technology, and social media, according to a statement released Wednesday. The Nasdaq has won over a dozen IPOs this year, raising $4.2 billion, including recent high-profile offerings from Shanda Games (GAME), Changyou.com (CYOU) and A123 SYSTEMS (AONE). Insurance-risk specialist Verisk Analytics on Tuesday issued the biggest initial public offering by a U.S. company since Visa (V) March 2008 offering, raising $1.88 billion on the Nasdaq, higher than the $1.7 billion expected.NEW YORK (

With new episodes coming up, some submission guidelines.
Most of this is common sense. But I feel I have no choice but to accept the most accurate and best formatted material. So if someone else follows these guidelines and you don't, and you both submit on the same thing, their stuff will be what's accepted. Reading this will also save you time having to resubmit and keep your rejection rate down, if you worry about that kind of thing.
I'll re-edit stuff to fit if it only takes a little work, but otherwise I'll reject and provide an explanation. If you submit a lot it's more likely at least one will be rejected so you catch it, since it's more important if you intent to become a heavy contributor. -----
1 ) Look at what's already on the page. If there's nothing there yet, look at another episode page. If you want to know what name to use for a regular character (Dick vs. Captain Richard), or if a name should be bolded, or whether there should be double-spacing between quote lines, or whether quotation marks should be used, or where to use italics, do what's already been done. If you're not sure how to do the HTML, click on Edit for an existing entry and see how it's done.
2 ) Don't steal from another site. Except for Quotes, everything should be in your own words. Even summaries based on press releases should be rewritten as "your content." It's a TV.com requirement, it's copyright, and it's common courtesy.
3 ) Be accurate and provide a source. Unless you're an incredibly fast typist/writer and have an incredible ear for dialogue, pause the recording. Rewind. Transcribe the dialogue, rewind again, double-check. For episodes that haven't aired yet, always provide an original verifiable source in Comments. Provide as complete a URL as possible: if I can't find it, I can't accept it.
4 ) If you edit, use Comments to tell me what you're editing and why. Be specific. "Fixing 2 typos." doesn't help. "Changed "his" to "her" in third paragraph, changed "their" to "they're" in second paragraph" does. If something should be deleted, mark it for deletion and put the explanation in Comment, don't "argue" or give a "response."
5 ) Know basic grammar and punctuation. "I" is capitalized. Names are capitalized. Sentences get periods at the end (or question marks or exclamation marks). UPPER-CAP is not necessary for emphasis (use italics) and not needed to indicate yelling (use an exclamation mark). A single space goes after most punctuation except at the end of a sentence. Know the difference between "its" and "it's." ("It's" = "It is"). When speaking to someone and using their name, a comma goes before and after their name. "It's true that I love you, Fred, but I love you too, George." is correct. "Its true that i love you fred but I love you too,George" is not.
6 ) Don't duplicate. Particularly for major plot points, if the info is in the Recap, it doesn't need to be in Notes or Trivia. If a quote appears entirely in Allusions, it doesn't need to be in Quotes as well. Click on More Quotes/Trivia/Notes. You typically don't see everything on the episode's main page.
7 ) Don't anticipate. That's part of being accurate. Don't go by previews--sometimes scenes get cut or another version used when the episode goes to air. Don't assume an Allusion will be an allusion until you see the episode.
8 ) It's not personal. Don't insert stuff like "I" or "Don't you think" or "We all know…" Stick to the factual and put opinions, analysis, and speculation into your review.
9 ) Quotes. Quotes should be memorable, significant, and/or humorous. They should stand on their own and make sense to someone who hasn't seen the show, and represent quality writing. Don't use quotes just to "prove" something or indicate a key moment if the words aren't otherwise memorable, significant, or humorous. Try to focus on the key line or lines and avoid three paragraphs of "set up" quotes. Bold the speaker name, then put in an unbolded colon, then a space, then the line quote. Don't put quotation marks around each line. Hit a single Return/Enter for the next speaker's line. Contextual explanations should be used as little as possible, be as short as possible, put in parentheses, and italicized.
10 ) Notes. As per TV.com standards, Notes is for off-screen production-related stuff. Stuff the characters wouldn't know. Background music, special credit info, relevant background on the actors, in-jokes, etc. "What else they've been in" and "They're best known for" and "They've worked together before" is covered by the cast list section and its links, unless there's some kind of in-joke involved.
11 ) Trivia. As per TV.com standards, Trivia is for obscure on-screen stuff the viewer might not notice. This includes goofs. Plot points and other obvious stuff are often spoilers and are not Trivia--they should go in the Recap.
12 ) Allusions. As per TV.com standards, Allusions are for cultural references--other TV shows, movie, films, books. Always provide the single line of the quotation first that contains the Allusion (formatted as #9 above), then a single return, then the explanation. Internal continuity is pretty common in TV shows so unless it's obscure (Trivia), it's not an Allusion. The explanation (not cut-n-pasted) should be detailed enough that someone unfamiliar with the allusion can understand: roughly 20-50 words, one paragraph. Word definitions and translations are not Allusions (or Trivia or Notes, either). Allusions are deliberate and typically something the writers have the characters say. Allusions should be unique and reference the original source whenever possible, rather then another show that references the original source.
13 ) Summaries and Recaps. Summaries should be short and not give away any spoilers. Recaps should be a complete scene-by-scene account of the episode, without stage directions or meta-references like "In this scene…". Write it like you'd write a reference book entry. Don't include real-life info ("This season," actor listings, etc.). Save quotes for the Quote section (see #9 above).
One last thing. If you submit something and it's rejected, remember: it's nothing personal. These standards are in place to promote accuracy, readability, and keep the episode pages from being too "cluttered" with extraneous info. If you get a rejection, read the Comments I provide, come here and look at these guidelines, and PM me if you have any questions. Some folks I had to reject the first time are now my most prolific contributors.
That's it. Look forward to your submissions!

LONDON - Five's controller of features and entertainment Ben Frow is leaving after his role was changed in the restructuring enacted by managing director of content, Lisa Opie.The restructure last week added responsibility for drama and special events to the features and entertainment department. The controller will report to the director of programmes, a role that has yet to be filled. It was left vacant by the departure of Dan Chambers which coincided with Opie's arrival in December.
Last week, Five replaced Nick Thorogood as director of its digital channels with Hannah Barnes.
Frow spent three years at the broadcaster, during which time he developed shows including 'Diet Doctors', 'How to be a Property Developer' and 'Build a New Life in the Country'.
He was previously at Channel 4 as head of features and factual entertainment.

BECKLEY – Raleigh County kids are learning the art of running thanks to a class from the YMCA.
Officials say West Virginia ranks among the worst states in the nation in obesity rate, and the YMCA of Southern West Virginia is aiming to change that.
A two-day course wraps up today for cross country runners to hone their skills. The Y is teaching kids from personal experience. Injury prevention and nutrition are key learning points.
Personal trainer Tiffany Hubman says it's great to help local kids develop a healthy lifestyle.
"Running has played a big part in my life, and it's taught me discipline, mental toughness, taught me how to persevere in all areas of my life and I wanted to share a fun experience with the kids around here," says Hubman.
The Y plans to do the course again next year, and they hope to tack on a third day.

Intel Starts Program for Atom Developers
Mobile applications, popularized by iPhone and Android, are getting some further encouragement from chipmaker Intel and its Atom platform.
An Intel Atom Developer Program announced at the current Intel Developer Forum focuses on the energy-saving Atom mobile processor. Targets for the applications are netbooks and the mobile internet devices (MID) introduced by Intel.
The challenge is directed to developers that have specialized in applicable systems and runtime environments such as Moblin, Windows, Java and Adobe Air. Intel will provide prospective participants a portal and will follow up with an SDK.
Apart from the usual help given to developers, the Atom Developer Program promises marketing opportunities. Completed applications can be sold at the Intel AppStore or distributed freely. End-users can load AppStore on the device and get recommendations for apps to buy and download. The program motto is "Learn. Develop. Sell." With these three phases, Intel invites developers into the free process.

The owners of Elmar's BP in Elk Creek have been engaged in a battle over their gas price sign for nearly seven years.
According to co-owner Carmin Gaines, she, her brother, Carsyn, and her father, Elmer, obtained verbal permission to order their 71-square-foot sign in April 2004.
Gaines claims that Elmar's was granted a permit for that sign on June 15, 2004 – the same day it was put up.
Starting in July, city and county customers of Taylorsville Water Works could see a jump in their water bills.
In an effort to lessen the gap between the base rate for city customers ($7.50) and the base rate for county customers ($14.70), the city commission is proposing a rate increase of 35 percent for city customers and 12.44 percent for those in the county.
That would bring the city base rate up to $10.13 and the county base rate up to $16.53.

An interesting clock with a nice quote. It might be cheaper if another wood type is used, other than 10mm rimu.

In 2008, an 18-year-old woman from Lynnwood told police that she'd been raped in her apartment. Officers supposedly believed her at first, but later decided that she was lying, and charged her with making a false report. But now that Marc P. O'Leary, a suspected serial rapist and allegedly the guy who raped the Lynnwood teen three years ago, has been arrested in Colorado, LPD is singing a different tune.
Marc P. O'Leary
The Herald reports today on Lynnwood Police Chief Steve Jensen's gut-busting meal of crow.
"We were wrong. Everybody feels terrible about it," Lynnwood Police Chief Steve Jensen said Tuesday. "We take sexual assaults very seriously. Our investigators always get charged up to get the bad guys in these cases . . . We're doing our best to make it right."
The break in the case came when O'Leary was arrested in Colorado. According to The Denver Post, he's been charged with raping a Westminster woman for two hours, in which he took some 100 photos during the attack and made the woman shower and brush her teeth afterward to destroy any DNA evidence.
He's also accused of a similar attack in Aurora, Colo.
In the local case, the victim actually pleaded guilty to the charge of making a false report and was forced to pay a $500 fine and enter a treatment program.
She's now apparently been refunded her $500, and lawyers are working on getting her criminal conviction expunged.
The reason for doubting her was supposedly because "her story kept changing."
It's good, at least, to see LPD trying to right its wrong.
Of course, if officers had believed the Lynnwood victim in the first place, the two other women who were violently raped in Colorado might never have been attacked.

What to look for when buying a new Notebook for linux & KDE?
Thu Dec 05, 2013 11:18 am
I want to buy a new notebook, where I want to install linux and KDE on it (either Kubuntu or OpenSUSE, not sure yet). I'm not an expert on linux, so I want to have hardware with good linux (and KDE) support, which gives me hopefully a nice out-of-the-box experience.
So what hardware to look for, which to avoid?
Intel vs. AMD ?
Nvidia vs. Radeon vs. Intel graphics ?
Wlan, Touchpad, etc.
The notebooks is not needed for gaming or high performance.
If you have a special offer in mind, you can also post that. But keep in mind I live in germany, so only offers in germany are of interest for me.

Re: What to look for when buying a new Notebook for linux &
Fri Dec 06, 2013 2:33 pm
Don't know if this much will help, however I've had 3 laptops in my life and at least one PC. As for any graphics cards I don't think any specific hardware will be a problem as Linux in general is used by people who do extensive gaming and any graphics card will do. However one small warning - this has to do with UEFI - this is the "new" BIOS. When you buy a new laptop (which I did too) chances are it will have UEFI and it will be configured to be locked down with Windows. Be sure you understand how to unlock it. I have a new Windows 8 laptop that uses UEFI, the laptop does not have a DVD drive, so I tried to unlock and run a Linux install disk from a USB stick. For some reason I did not succeed, maybe because the USB install disk was not correctly saved.
Apart from that:
On my 17" Acer laptop I have a dedicated Nvidia, Intel processor. Works with Linux
On my PC I have a Radeon graphics card and AMD processor. All work.
See my signature for details.
I use Sabayon Linux as my distro:
I think the main issue will be in the distro you will use. To have everything working out of the box Sabayon is my only choice. It's based on Gentoo, rock solid, easy to update, easy to install and has all the drivers built in, and is also crisp and clear with KDE. And most important, all video codecs are installed ready to use out of the box. Not like with some other distros, especially Debian where you will struggle installing all the missing bits and pieces. Mandriva or Ubuntu, SUSE were a very huge disappointment to me.
Ever since 2006 I have never had issues with Sabayon. Make sure your Notebook will have a DVD drive to run an installation disk. Although you can prepare a USB installation disk, I ran into some problems and I could not find a really proper document on how to do it, very often instructions are incomplete in some ways.
Also you can download a Linux .iso, burn it onto a DVD and run Linux without installing. This is what I do, I check whether that Linux distro does some basics:
1) Plays sound
2) Connects to the internet
3) Plays videos - all codecs are installed
etc. etc.
Wlan, Touchpad, etc.
Nothing to worry about, although I would suggest - pick the notebook you wish to buy, check the computer spec thoroughly in detail, what cards it has and use a search engine for "card xxxx linux problems" to find any online posts about any potential problems you may encounter.
You can check the Gentoo forum or https://forum.sabayon.org/
Ask some question on the Distro forums apart from KDE. KDE is just the graphics interface on top of the engine, under the bonnet you will have a Linux kernel from a distro with drivers and that is what in the end counts.
Hope this helps.

In terms of Wireless cards, those systems with Atheros or Intel chipsets are likely to give you the least problems. Broadcom based systems may require you to extract the firmware.

My simple advice:
Buy a notebook with a pre installed Linux/KDE, that works quite well for me since many years using 3-4 notebooks at work and usually buying one new notebook every one or two years.

I would recommend making sure the hardware is compatible with Linux. Although nowadays this is less of a concern than in the past, it still can be an issue.
Intel and amd isn't really an issue, so I wouldn't worry too much about that.
From personal experience (and reading online) nvidia has better Linux support than ATI, although ATI does produce more powerful cards. But then again, what use is a more powerful card if you can't use it? However I'd be wary about nvidia optimus (the ability to switch between discrete and integrated cards) as nvidia has been rather poor in linux support for it in the past. Perhaps in the past three years the open source implementations have improved, but you'll need to do your own research about that.
The next biggest issue for compatibility is usually wireless support. A great resource is the Gentoo wiki. Have a read through and good luck

Dubai sees biggest gain in 15 months, markets up
Dubai's index makes its largest gain in 15 months with the benchmark climbing 4.3 per cent to 1,513 points, trimming its 2011 losses to 7.2 percent.
March 13, 2011 3:08 by Reuters
Dubai's index makes its largest gain in 15 months as investor fears that political unrest would spread to top oil exporter Saudi Arabia ease.
The benchmark climbs 4.3 per cent to 1,513 points, its biggest gain since Dec. 14, 2009, and trimming its 2011 losses to 7.2 per cent.
Emaar Properties and Arabtec climb 10.1 and 7.3 percent respectively, with this pair accounting for more than a third of all shares traded.
"There's a relief rally as there is a lack of any other activity," says Matthew Wakeman, EFG-Hermes managing director for cash and equity-linked trading.
"If the market consolidates, it will be very positive, but if it gives it all back (this) will highlight there is a lot of risk in the market."
Stocks had tumbled on fears unrest would gain hold in Saudi Arabia following deadly protests in Bahrain and Oman, but with demonstrations in the kingdom over the weekend proving to be largely a non-event, regional sentiment is more upbeat.
Abu Dhabi's index rises 1.5 per cent to 2,666 points as volumes hit a five-week high.
Aldar Properties climbs 4.6 per cent and Dana Gas adds 3.3 per cent.
"Once things have settled down, we will see a lot more individual stocks gain, namely Emaar, Arabtec and Dana Gas," adds Wakeman. "Investors will get more stock specific."

Early 17th century: from Latin promiscuus 'indiscriminate' (based on miscere 'to mix') + -ous The early sense was 'consisting of elements mixed together', giving rise to 'indiscriminate' and 'undiscriminating', whence the notion of 'casual'.
miscellany from late 16th century:
This goes back to the Latin miscellus mixed from miscere 'mix' ( see mash). This also lies behind promiscuous (early 17th century). Its early sense was 'consisting of elements mixed together', giving rise to 'indiscriminate', and 'undiscriminating', from which the notion of 'casual' arose.

Delicious! Made this as a Mother's Day gift for my MIL. She was thrilled, since she loves fudge. I kept a little bit that wouldn't fit in the package and my DD is already telling me that I have to make it again! It is SUPER sweet, but the flavor is great! It set up a little bit soft, but it held its shape after cutting (and that may have been my fault). Loved the toffee bits, but I just now realized that I used the plain Heath bits - not the chocolate covered! Bet the chocolate covered bits would be even better! Thank you for a great recipe that I will get lots of use from!

Five years ago, aspiring Pacific Northwest pit bosses keen to smoke a whole brisket typically had to request the cut from their befuddled butchers. But the recent rage for Southern-style barbecue has helped make briskets a grocery staple, a trajectory that competitive chili maker Steve Burnfield hopes the ingredients for his specialty will soon follow.
"I bring my chili powder up from Texas," Burnfield says. "I'll bring in some stuff and it's almost like a drug dealer showing up. Guys are like, 'hey, man you got the powder?'"
Using the right chili powder is critical because the Chili Appreciation Society International (CASI), which hosts the world's annual chili championship in Terlingua, Tex., defines chili as meat and sauce, in accordance with Texan traditions. (In another nod to the dish's Lone Star roots, the official rule book states, "contestants discharging firearms will be disqualified.") Burnfield says the classification of vegetables as foreign matter mystifies Northerners raised on bowls of beef and beans.
"Nobody even knows about Texas-style chili," says Burnfield, who heads CASI's British Columbia chapter, the Pacific Pod. "Everybody around here was brought up on home-style. I've found in Canada they don't even know about chili ground beef. It's not common around here."
Yet Burnfield thinks true chili could make inroads with cooks burned out on the cost and challenge of barbecue - and eaters perennially disappointed by their lackluster smoked meat experiments.
"It's just as much fun, and you get to go to bed at night," he says.
At last weekend's Canadian National Barbecue Championships in Whistler, two-thirds of the 29 contestants in the concurrent Terlingua qualifier were barbecue contestants biding time before firing up their cookers for ribs, chicken and pork butt.
"They're here anyhow, so they might as well cook chili," Burnfield says. "It's 25 bucks to enter, so it's not an expensive deal. By the time you buy meat, ice and beverages, it's a $100 deal."
CASI awards ribbons and glass trophies instead of cash prizes - "it's all about the glory," Burnfield says - which helps keep entry fees low. The money raised by CASI events, including last weekend's Canadian Championships and this weekend's Washington State Championship in Olympia, supports a college scholarship program. The Canadian Championships last year generated $4000 for the cause.
Dallas Morning News writer Frank X. Tolbert, author of A Bowl of Red, in 1967 hosted the first Terlingua cook-off after a New York humorist challenged him to a chili duel. Tolbert recruited colleague Wick Fowler, producer of Wick Fowler's Two-Alarm Chili, to represent Texas: He showed up in a sombrero, carrying his chili secrets in a brown paper bag. Judges declared a tie, making the contest one of only two in the event's history to end with a Northerner finishing first.
"It's an education up here," Burnfield says.

BEEN waiting for the graphlites to get a retro drop w a dope CW.
February 9, 2014 BY Ian Hundiak / 1
After showing pictures of one of the OG colorways of the shoe and reporting that the model would be making a return in 2014, we have some more info about newer colorways. This "Tin Grey" colorway of the Reebok Pump Graphlite does not actually receive its namesake from the suede that surrounds the toe box and much of the upper (which is in reality more of a khaki), but instead from the light grey accents throughout the shoe. Are you happy to see Reebok bringing back another cross training retro? How do you feel about this colorway? Let us know in the comments and stay tuned to Sneaker News for more info on these.

Many are fine with low fat milk and various other dairy, but processed foods are highly addictive. "With these foods, personal will and good judgment get overridden. People want these foods, dream about these foods, crave them." Fresh food can be inexpensive, and a place such as Costco has a wonderful selection of vegetables, fruits, berries and fish. Along with brisk walks of course. Just doing the full circle in the big wholesale warehouse helps.

Panetta, Shinseki discuss more transition support for vets
October 19, 2011
By Donna Miles, American Forces Press Service
Related Links
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18, 2011 -- Ways to help separating service members and veterans prepare for and launch civilian careers topped the agenda during Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta's visit yesterday with Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric K. Shinseki, Pentagon spokesman Navy Capt. John Kirby reported.
Shinseki hosted the latest in a series of quarterly meetings about ways to help smooth the path for military members as they transition to civilian life and careers.
Panetta and Shinseki lead a joint task force President Barack Obama established to promote veteran employment and boost separating and retiring military members' career readiness. They agreed during yesterday's talks on the need to provide each veteran with a cohesive employment search strategy and improve direct connections between employers and veterans, Kirby said.
Separating service members also need access to improved career counseling services that include information about GI Bill benefits and guidance on small-business opportunities, the secretaries noted.
Additionally, discussed creating a system to provide professional credentials and certifications based on applicable military experience, Kirby said.
Obama told the American Legion Convention in August that he had directed DOD and VA to create a "reverse boot camp" to help the newest veterans prepare for civilian jobs and translate their military skills into industry-accepted licenses and credentials.
Panetta and Shinseki addressed a range of other issues yesterday, Kirby said, including ongoing efforts between the two departments to establish joint integrated electronic health records and improve the disability evaluation system.
The meeting came two days before the president travels to Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Va., to discuss efforts under way to create more jobs for veterans and encourage more employers to hire them.
Obama lamented the unemployment rate among veterans during an Aug. 30 address to the American Legion's national convention, and called on employers to take advantage of the "incredible talents" they have to offer.
Saluting the 5 million Americans who have served in uniform since 9/11 as a "generation of innovators" who have "changed the way America fights and wins its wars," he said veterans also are the very people the nation needs to jump-start its economy.
"After a decade of war, it's time to focus on nation building here at home," the president said. "And our veterans, especially our '9/11-Generation' veterans, have the skills and the dedication to help lead the way."
Panetta reemphasized during congressional testimony earlier this week the need for the nation to support and keep faith with the men and women in uniform, even in the face of budget constraints.
"They're the ones that have made us strong, and they're the ones that put their lives on the line every day in order to protect this country," he told the House Armed Services Committee during the Oct. 13 hearing. "We have got to maintain our faith with those that have deployed time and time and time again. And that's something I intend to do."

Oklahoma City Thunder: Serge Ibaka will get a chance to show how far he's come against Clippers' Blake Griffin
As the All-Star selections neared earlier this season, some of Serge Ibaka's teammates made a push for the improved power forward to make the cut.
To no avail.
As the regular season drew to a close the past few years, some of those same teammates — and others across the league — made an even louder push for Ibaka to win Defensive Player of the Year.
Again, to no avail. Arguably the league's best shot-blocker and one of its best pick-and-pop big men received neither distinction. Despite his unique and impactful skill set, Ibaka remains in that second NBA tier — considered somewhere between good and great.
But over the next couple weeks, the stage is set for Ibaka to change opinions.
With the Clippers coming to town on Monday night for the start of an intriguing second-round tilt, Ibaka's matchup with Sooner legend and Clippers superstar Blake Griffin is front and center.
Scott Brooks has already tried to deflect responsibility, saying the assignment of guarding Griffin will be a "team effort." But in reality, it'll likely fall primarily and almost exclusively to Ibaka. Steven Adams, Nick Collison and Kendrick Perkins will get a few cracks. But if he stays out of foul trouble, Ibaka is clearly the best option.
Griffin is too quick for the others and too powerful for nearly every fleet-footed big man in the league. But with Ibaka, a well-built high-flyer, Griffin is staring at the rare human who is in his same athletic stratosphere.
"(Ibaka) can guard (Griffin) one on one," Charles Barkley said on TNT on Saturday night. "He's the only power forward in this league that's physically strong enough and athletic enough to bang with Blake."
The two have had their fair share of battles — and after-the-whistle tussles — in the past, but this'll be their first postseason meeting. Each will get a batch of games and plenty of days to study and adjust to the other, to learn from mistakes and try to exploit weaknesses.
Griffin has the clear edge. He's the more polished player. And in 15 previous meetings, he has averaged 23 points and 10 rebounds to Ibaka's 13 and 7.
But Griffin's usage rate is much higher. He's going to get more shots and points than Ibaka, as well as a ton more plays run through him. It'll be Serge's assignment to make life hard on him.
"That, to me, is a wash," Barkley said. "Blake can play a little bit better than Ibaka, but he can't go out and get 35 a night."
Widely known as a weak-side menace, Ibaka has compiled a highlight reel of blocked shots that few have matched over the past couple decades. He's an eraser of mistakes.
But this series, more than any other he's competed in, will test the development of his one-on-one post defense. It has been questioned in the past, pinned up as the biggest hole in Ibaka's Defensive Player of the Year candidacy.
But it's something he has improved upon. And the last series against Memphis was a great example. With Kendrick Perkins tasked with slowing Zach Randolph, Ibaka was forced to contend with Marc Gasol, the skilled 7-foot-1 bruiser, in the post.
Ibaka held his own, forcing tough shots and even blocking a few right back in Gasol's face.
"He's using his physicality a lot (more), using his length, does a great job of knowing his opponents," Kevin Durant said. "(But) Blake is a load, everybody knows that."
A load that Ibaka must contend with over the next couple weeks.
His objective: Make Griffin inefficient on one end and force him to defend on the other. Do that consistently and maybe Ibaka will start to earn greater national buzz.

Hakeem Nicks WR NYG 3 years ago8 Comments
Hakeem Nicks (knee) is listed as probable to face the Bengals in Week 10.
Despite some early-week "puffiness," Nicks' knee has held up just fine in practice the past two days. Although his production has been disappointing, Nicks believes he's close to regaining 2011 form. He's 25th among receivers in Rotoworld's Week 10 ranks.

Ok, so this was my first time ordering through Nashbar (I usually use my LBS, but I saw a good deal in Nashbar, and my LBS did not have any in stock) and I ordered some short on the 9th of July. I received an email on the 10th that said they where shipped that day (I choice poorly and went with the cheapest shipping, USPS) so on Friday, the 25th, my shorts still had not come in, so I called Nashbar and talk to someone in CS and they told me that it takes 7-15 business days for shippmet through USPS, and that they where not going to talk to me about my order until the end of the 15 business days, sure enough they can in, the 30th, 15 business days later
Is this normal for Nashbar?
I did not think that anything would take 20 days to ship USPS, and my question is, 15 busniness days is M-F or M-Sat (since the post office is open on Sat. should that count as a business day?)
If I order through them again, should I "upgrade" to a faster shippinig, or just plan on not recieving what I order for a month?

Está interesante pero se parece a un comercial que ganó FIAP el año pasado donde se veía que una mujer se convertía en bruja y paseaba por el campo, osea está basado bajo el mismo insight pero con distinta ejecución.
De ahí felicitaciones muchachos, el aviso es muy bueno. (yo le quitaría el copy donde dice "Get her back"
Fantastic. Everything thing about this ad is spot-on. I wish I did this.
ahahah good one!

Great ad. Agree with rehpani, maybe the copy is not necessary.
Hahaha. Who took the picture of my girlfriend?
Great ad for men. The target buyers are women. Not very appealing for them.
Excellent point. This is great execution overall and conveys the message succinctly, however, the ad is selling Kitadol to the men, for their wives. I'm sure there are nice husbands and boyfriends who will pick up this type of product for their significant other, but they're getting what the girl tells them to get--not what they think they should get. If they're smart that is.
Awesome! Really funny.
Although if I bought some of these for my wife she'd turn into a pro wrestler at the sight of them.
this is absolutely tasteless and dumb. it could be funny only to men with stupid stereotypes... women are fierce during PMS "hahaha"... cliched thick-skinned humor, does not impress me.

There's plenty of great music out these days......but you have to find it. Most of it's not on the radio. But I have a rather eclectic taste anyway.
I started playing drums when I was 5 and haven't stopped 31 years later. I went to college for music (Berklee College of Music) and studied jazz. I teach and perform music for a living.
None of that makes my opinion any better than anyone else's. And that's what's great about music and the arts in general. It's all about what moves you.
I love improv music (jazz, jambands, etc.) because I love the idea of "creating" music live in the moment as opposed to playing the same thing night to night. But it's not always good. Sometimes you fall flat on your face. And I like that kind of honesty in music: the willingness to take a risk.
But that doesn't mean that composed music isn't good. I love that stuff too! I really hate comparing music. There is fabulous music in ALL genres of music. You just have to find it.
The Shawshank Redemption is a great movie. An all-time classic. But I also enjoy Happy Gilmore. Should I enjoy it less because it's not an Oscar-worthy type film? I say no because it's not supposed to be. And I feel the same about music. Nirvana's music is extremely simple music. But it doesn't make it any less important than any other band. Writing a great SIMPLE song is a lot harder than people think. Only so much can be done with 3 chords. To be able to be original using those same 3 chords is the mark of a true artist.

There is no where near as much info on this family of lenses as I'd like. Super intriguing, does anyone know if it's only the Nikon mount version that has manual iris?
Has anyone here tried this Distagon 55mm f/1.4 lens?
Any test photos to see and compare with other lenses?
This should be a very good lens, it reminds me of the Hasselblad days...
Looks like what Matt Duclos was writing about a few weeks ago:
Did anyone see this one at IBC? :)
I saw a prototype-almost-production model 55ZF1.4 on the IBC.. very long throw, pinsharp, no discernable CA.. Zeiss-pro-style yellow markings.. lovely! made some photo's but had to promise not to post them, sorry guys.. but worth the wait if you're already interested in buying the zf.2 50mm
Hehe yes I saw it at IBC ... I dragged David and Joost there because this thing is insane! And no, I am not exaggerating.
The 1.4 has such beautiful highlights - as Joost mentioned: no discernible CA and his thing is pin sharp. We were shown some prints... They look like middle format prints. Tack sharp, deep blacks and super fine lines. Wasn't allowed to record/ shoot with it but what I could see through the zoom in on the DSLR, this lens is sick! Looking through the view finder feels like having a grey layer removed from it.
Then lens looked exactly like in the pictures Ketch posted - sans hood.
It's got a nice heft to it. Every other 50mm still feels like a child's toy next to it. This thing feels like a pro cine lens. I kid you not! as does the focus pull.
Some Zeiss bird tweeted in my ear, that the Zeiss lens service also de-clicks your lenses, which seemingly could be done with the 55 as well from them... So I guess we would have to stay tuned, the aperture is pretty close to the mount, but with a RED this should still work.
End of October we all will know what the new series will be called - along with all the other information.
The next 2 lenses will be announced between October and beginning of next year with availability planned for end of 2014.
2 more lenses (a wide and a tele) seem to be in planning but no info on if these will become real. Probably also depends on the interest in these.
EDIT: the yellow markings also tell you a lot. They are trying to make sure this will be recognized as a pro lens in the master prime category :)
The focus scale doesn't have any plexi cover on top either, which makes it look even more like a cine lens. The Zeiss guy asked me what I thought about it and if it would make me worry about dust inside the lens. When I said that it reminds me of cine lenses and that I wouldn't worry because I'd believe the lens is sealed, he smiled ... guess I gave the correct answer ;)
Thank you Patrick, have been waiting for a bit more info on this line of lenses. Bring on the end of October! Was that aperture ring you were talking about on a Canon mount?
actually the markings on the lens front were in yellow, not white on the model we saw (-; it had 82mm front (at least I think that was what the 82 in the label was about) and was labeled: Carl Zeiss Distagon 1,4/55 ZF.2 82 T*
T* was in red (-;
