England x reader- Surprise Picnic
The clouds slowly meandered across the bright blue sky. Spring was just beginning to blanket the land with new life and fresh blossoms. You sat in the park under a budding apple tree on an old wooden bench. Couples flocked among the fresh grass and warming air. A particular elderly pair were walking up the hill in your direction. You smiled. They looked so cute together.
'Where is he?' You thought. 'He should be here by now...' Your eyes began to grow heavy and you considered heading back home.
"_____, I'm sorry I'm late," A voice startled you and you looked about. Arthur Kirkland had just walked up to you and was about to take a seat on the bench beside you. He held a basket in the crook of his arm which he transferred to his lap once he sat down. You wore a delighted smile as he leaned back comfortably, allowing his head to tilt back and his eyes to close.
"So this is the surprise, huh?" You nodded toward the basket. "A picnic?" One of his emerald eyes opened to meet your gaze. He smiled.
"Yes," He resumed a proper sitting position and went to open the basket. "But it is only part of it," You looked out at the field and the clouds' shadows upon the green. Suddenly, Arthur stood and offered you his left hand. "How about we go someplace else?" He looked down at you, his face drawn up in complete bliss. You loved seeing him this way. It seemed so normal to see him with his thick eyebrows furrowed and a scowl upon his face. But whenever he spent time with you, he just... changed.
You hesitantly placed your hand inside of his and rose to your feet. Arthur retrieved the basket and began to walk through the park, his fingers laced in yours. He had never acted this way toward you before. Holding hands... 'Maybe he was just being a bit more of a gentleman today as a part of my surprise,' You were still contemplating this when the two of you arrived at a lovely sight. You paused on a hill that gave you an entire view of the busy London streets below. Big Ben was even visible in the distance.
"Oh my," You said, bashfully tucking a strand of (hair color) hair behind your ear. "This is lovely," Arthur's heart soared at the sight of your smile. He let go of your hand and began to spread out the blanket. You marveled at the scenery a small while longer before breaking away and helping him unload the food he had prepared. Scones, tea, sandwiches and other delicious things materialized from the basket.
Once you got settled, Arthur unwrapped the scones and handed one to you. The edges were a bit blackened, you noticed. "I... I burned them... You don't have to eat them if you don't want. No one really does. But you said you liked scones..."
"I would love them!" You reached out at his hand, pulling him and the scone to you. Arthur cussed and dropped the pastry and clasped his hand. It was then you noticed the cloth bandage swaddled around it. "Oh.. Oh Arthur, I'm so sorry..." You wanted to comfort him in some way but could not figure out how.
"It's fine... You didn't know, _____" He forced a smile and shook off his pain. You looked down at the scone he had dropped. You always loved them. No matter what the other's opinion was about them, you found them quite delicious. You picked it up and took a bite. True, it did taste a bit bitter and burned but the sweet glaze it had was tasty and it was rich and yummy.
"Arthur, burned or not it tastes great," You smiled which seemed to lift his spirits even more.
"You're so kind to me..." he said, taking a scone for himself. "Everyone else seems as if they have to put up with me... But you," Arthur turned to you, "You seem to genuinely appreciate me," You looked back at him, seeing yet another glimpse of someone you have never seen before. The Englishmen changed the subject by bringing out tea. Soon enough you were chatting like normal, sipping tea and looking out over London.
Without even realizing, the sun began to set. You and Arthur began to pack up the supplies and leftover food then the two of you started to walk back through the park, his hand once again around yours.
"This was a great surprise," You sighed, happily.
"It's not over yet," Arthur stopped and pulled you into him, looking down into your eyes. A hand clasped your chin and brought your lips to his. Once you parted, you looked up at him a cute surprised expression on your face. He laughed lightly and kissed you again. This time you gave in and kissed him back, wrapping your arms around the back of his neck. "Surprise," He whispered in your ear. You smiled and nuzzled into his neck.
"Thank you,"

Cheesy-ness is something I love,and that ending is adorable!My friends might think I'm weird now....just for reading cheesy or romantic things because I seem so emotionless sometimes.But my friend NEVER wants to hear the words "Lemon" and "Romance" again when I told her what Lemon means in fanfic terms! XD
Aww thank you for that ^^
I like cheezy too but I know a fair ammounf of people who despise cheesy... But it's all I can do...
I. Hate. Lemons. I am sorry but I do... They scare me...
I like cheezy too but I know a fair ammounf of people who despise cheesy... But it's all I can do...
I. Hate. Lemons. I am sorry but I do... They scare me...
I think this one was cute!The cheesy-ness made me smile!But I think my friends..wouldn't even know what Hetalia is even if I told them before.And as I said,most of them dislike cheesy things or romantic ones..And from all of them...they only know one of the things I like now.Invader Zim.But they don't know,I already put Anime as my favorite for now.
It's okay.I don't like lemons too.
It's okay.I don't like lemons too.
Well we all have different tastes and stuff. And that's ok! ^^ I hope you can show them Hetalia maybe someday
I think my friends would only appreciate France,America,Greece,and Egypt.And maybe Ancient Egypt,Ancient Greece,and Rome.Book and Musical reasons.I mean,my friends,some are phans,some like Les Mis,and some like Percy Jackson.I'm the only one from the whole group who actually is an otaku.And the rest...they are not allowed to,or they hate it.But,I'll try my best and last time I failed...but,my motivation are the countries.And let's see what their opinion on France will be after...
Yeah! I gained so much feels for France after seeing Les Mis!!! Oh my goodness...
I'm sorry about that though... :/
I'm sorry about that though... :/
That's cool.I stayed mad at them at first,but hey,they got their opinions.But the thing is,I don't consider some people as friends,but they consider me as a friend.Because,I had a friend once,who always insulted many of the things I like to my face.I kept the anger inside so I don't scream at her in public,but she did it everyday before.I'm used to it,but it still peeves me.My friends annoy me to an extent I never knew...I guess they try my patience a lot but I still have a short fuse and what not.
Very cute definitely not lame

The Truth of What Norris Said in That Interview
Byline: Cormac McQuinn
THE Irish Mail on Sunday can today reveal the shocking truth about Senator David Norris's interview with Magill magazine in 2002, in which he clearly sets out a string of highly controversial views on sex, paedophilia, the age of consent, incest and abuse.
The MoS has tracked down a copy of the interview - which was given for Mr Norris to 'set the record straight' because he felt that he had been misquoted in another newspaper on the subject of gay marriage. Since the controversy over his comments reignited last week, Mr Norris has argued that interviewer Helen Lucy Burke's presentation of his comments on paedophilia were 'misleading' and that his 'references to sexual activity' were 'taken out of context'.
However the comments were in fact part of a much longer discussion in which Mr Norris sets out a view that, by and large, people should be allowed to do whatever they want with whomever they want.
He maintains that consent should be more important than age when it comes to laws governing sexual behaviour, and does not condemn incest.
Miss Burke herself describes some of his views as 'deeply troubling'.
According to Miss Burke, the senator objected to 'state interference' in people's sex lives, recording his initially cautious comments as follows: 'I believe very strongly in people being allowed to make any choices they like, within very wide limits.
'But I also believe that once you make those choices, you should take responsibility for them.' 'I wouldn't draw the line for other people. I would hope that we could produce a society in which people would be inclined to draw lines for themselves.' It is at this point that the Trinity senator's views become controversial.
'There's a lot of nonsense about paedophilia,' he is quoted as saying, continuing, 'I can say this because I haven't the slightest interest in children, or in people who are considerably younger than me.
'I cannot understand how anybody could find children of either sex the slightest bit attractive sexually. To me, what is attractive about people is the fact that they display the signs of sexual maturity.
'But pre-pubescent children who lack any identifying characteristics of sexual maturity, I cannot understand why anybody would find them sexually appropriate. On the other hand - yes, they do find them so. But in terms of classic paedophilia, as practised by the Greeks, for example, where it is an older man introducing a younger man or boy to adult life, I think that there can be something to be said for it.' While Mr Norris reiterates that he is not attracted to the very young, he again endorses 'classical paedophilia' as something he would have enjoyed.
'Now again, this is not something that appeals to me, although when I was younger it would most certainly have appealed to me in the sense that I would have greatly relished the prospect of an older, attractive, mature man taking me under his wing, lovingly introducing me to sexual realities, and treating me with affection and teaching me about life - yes, I think that would be lovely; I would have enjoyed that. …

Life on the Screen
Simon and Schuster, Apr 26, 2011 - Science - 352 pages
Life on the Screen is a book not about computers, but about people and how computers are causing us to reevaluate our identities in the age of the Internet. We are using life on the screen to engage in new ways of thinking about evolution, relationships, politics, sex, and the self. Life on the Screen traces a set of boundary negotiations, telling the story of the changing impact of the computer on our psychological lives and our evolving ideas about minds, bodies, and machines. What is emerging, Turkle says, is a new sense of identity—as decentered and multiple. She describes trends in computer design, in artificial intelligence, and in people's experiences of virtual environments that confirm a dramatic shift in our notions of self, other, machine, and world. The computer emerges as an object that brings postmodernism down to earth.

My lo developed a yeast diaper rash as a result of taking an antibiotic that gave her diarrhea. I've had the doctor switch her antibiotic so that should stop the diarrhea hopefully. She had a diaper rash when we went to the doctor where she was diagnosed with a double ear infection, and an eye infection and a red throat. I take really good care of her so I don;t know how she got this sick. I think maybe it's something like thrush running through her. Anyway, her diaper rash is so bad now. She spent the better part of the evening and night screaming in pain. I tried to put her in the tub and she screamed worse. It's so bad the rash is on her labia inside and out. The doctor gave me mycolog but it's not working. I've been letting her run around sans diaper. I know the rash is so bad because of the diarrhea but I need a way to give her some relief until it dissipates. I don;t know what to do for this poor girl. I need any suggestions or remedies you may have please.
Hideous, Painful Diaper Rash. I need help

If that doesn't clear it within a few days, your baby needs an oral anti fungal.
I feel for you mama. It sucks to have a sick tiny.
6yrs infertility, 2m/c, hypothyroidism, PCOS
Proud mama to my sweet girls, E (2/6/12) and H (7/30/14) and EDD 11/5/16 - oops, we did it again!
sometimes the diaper creams can make it worse...when my son gets a rash i dont even bother....i just use baby powder and vasoline, normally it clears up by the next day. You just have to keep on it a few days..if you stop protecting the area too soon it comes right back. Rashes thrive on moisture, so try to keep baby as dry as possible. hope it gets better fast! hugs!

Ugh, sorry to hear that....we've been there with his last ear infection. He had diarrhea pretty bad for a couple days so like pp said, try to firm up the poops....bananas, rice cereal in bottles etc. We got a script cream. Not sure the name b/c I'm at work but it worked really well. It cleared up in a couple days but try to keep LO dry as possible....I put corn starch on him too to help w/the dryness and coated him w/all natural butt paste when I didn't use the script cream b/c it was only 4 times a day. Also I tried warm bath w/ sensative aveno baby wash.

Volume 89, Issue 15, 09 October 2006
Siliconnanoparticles embedded in silica show promising optoelectronic properties, due to quantum confinement and/or radiative interface states that should correlate with the particles' average size and shape. Here the authors report the combination of electron tomography with plasmon-filtered microscopy in order to reconstruct the three-dimensional morphology of siliconnanoparticles. They find that particles with complex morphologies and high surface to volume ratios are dominant, rather than the commonly assumed near-spherical structures. These results should affect quantum-confined excitons and the interface density of states. Their findings may help to explain the physical origin of the unusually broad photoluminescence bands and efficiencies.
Intersubband resonant enhancement of second-harmonic generation in quantum wells89(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2358118View Description Hide Description
This letter reports on the observation of resonant enhancement by intersubband transitions of the second-harmonic generation of radiation in quantum wells grown on -sapphire templates. Quantum wells with a nominal well thickness of 10 ML have been investigated in terms of intersubband linear and nonlinear optical properties. A strong increase of the second-harmonic conversion is observed at a pump wavelength of , which is attributed to double-resonance enhancement of the nonlinear susceptibility by intersubband transitions. The second-order susceptibility at resonance is of the order of , in good agreement with calculations.
All-angle negative refraction and evanescent wave amplification using one-dimensional metallodielectric photonic crystals89(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2360187View Description Hide Description
The authors numerically demonstrate all-angle negative refraction for propagating waves, as well as evanescent wave amplifications, using a one-dimensional photonic crystal consisting of metal-dielectric multilayers. Their structure has uniform surfaces parallel to the object plane and operates at the visible wavelength range. Using realistic material parameters including loss, they design a multilayer structure and verified its subwavelength resolution in the image formation process.
Ultrafast hole burning in intersubband absorption lines of superlattices89(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2360218View Description Hide Description
The authors present evidence for a distinct optical phonon progression in the nonlinear intersubband absorption spectra of electrons in a superlattice. Femtosecond two-color pump-probe experiments in the near infrared show spectral holes separated by the longitudinal optical (LO) phonon frequency and a homogeneous line broadening of approximately . The nonlinear bleaching signal decays with a time constant of due to intersubband scattering of delocalized electrons, followed by a weak picosecond component attributed to the relaxation of electrons from longer-lived localized states.
Quantum-confined Stark effect in interdiffused quantum dots89(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2358296View Description Hide Description
The authors theoretically investigate the effects of isotropic composition interdiffusion on the optical transition energy of quantum-dot (QD) structures under an electric field. Their three-dimensional QD calculation is based on coupled QDs arranged periodically in a tetragonal superlattice, taking into account the effects of finite band offset, valence-band mixing, strain, effective mass anisotropicity, and different QD shapes. The electron and hole Hamiltonians with the interdiffusioneffect are solved in the momentum space domain. The enhanced Stark shifts and the reduced built-in dipole moment have been found for the interdiffused QD structures.
Asymmetric long period fiber gratings fabricated by use of laser to carve periodic grooves on the optical fiber89(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2360253View Description Hide Description
An asymmetric long period fiber grating (LPFG) with a large attenuation of and a low insertion loss of is fabricated by use of focused laser beam to carve periodic grooves on one side of the optical fiber. Such periodic grooves and the stretch-induced periodic microbends can effectively enhance the refractive index modulation and increase the average strain sensitivity of the resonant wavelength of the LPFG to . The resonant wavelength and the peak attenuation of the LPFG can be tuned by and , respectively, by the application of a stretching force.
Determining the temporally and radially resolved temperature distribution inside a pulsed broad-area vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser cavity89(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2361164View Description Hide Description
The authors experimentally determine temporally and radially resolved profiles of the temperature distribution within the cavity of a broad-area vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser in pulsed operation. For this, the recently discovered state of spatially incoherent emission [M. Peeters et al., Opt. Express13, 9337 (2005)] is harnessed. Using single-shot measurements of spectrally resolved near field profiles acquired by a fast-gated charge coupled devicecamera, the wavelength shift due to heating of the device is temporally and radially resolved. From the wavelength shift the temperature shift is extracted, which finally allows for determination of absolute temperature profiles.
Band structure mapping of photonic crystal intersubband detectors89(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2361186View Description Hide Description
The authors report on a quantum well infrared detector embedded in a surface-plasmonwaveguide and processed into a deeply etchedphotonic crystal structure. The device was characterized by collecting the polarization dependent response spectra at different angles of incidence. With this method it is possible to map the photonicband structure by directly detecting the modes of the photonic crystal. It therefore represents a new and direct characterization procedure for photonic crystals. The device shows a strong mixing between TE and TM polarized modes, which is caused by the asymmetric vertical waveguide design.
Highly sensitive biosensing based on interference from light scattering in capillary tubes89(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2356380View Description Hide Description
Human IgG interactions with surface bound protein A are monitored label-free using microinterferometric backscatter detection. An electromagnetic wave-based model is developed and used to quantitatively describe the change in interference pattern as a consequence of the molecular interaction with the affinity layer on the fused silica capillary. Within the framework of the model it is of paramount importance to establish a valid stop criterion for the infinite summations involved in the fringe pattern computations. The high sensitivity towards surface changes, ease of changing the surface chemistry to other specific interacting layers, and simplicity of the optical sensor make this technique a powerful tool in biosensing.
detector, an infrared detector with reduced dark current and higher operating temperature89(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2360235View Description Hide Description
This letter presents a type of infrared detector named the detector. The design essentially eliminates Shockley-Read-Hall generation currents. The result is greatly reduced dark current and noise, compared to other midwave infrared detectors, such as photodiodes. This enables the to operate at background-limited infrared photodetection conditions at significantly higher temperatures than conventional midwave infrared detectors and have greater detectivity near room temperature. The is demonstrated in InAs and InAsSb materials, exhibiting cutoff wavelengths of 3.4 and , respectively.
Silicon micromachined periodic structures for optical applications at89(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2358323View Description Hide Description
In this letter, the authors report the design, fabrication, and characterization of a silicon micromachined periodic structure for optical applications at . The microstructure, which can be envisioned as a one-dimensional photonic crystal, is composed of a periodic array of -thick silicon walls and -wide air gaps, each one corresponding to a different odd number of quarter wavelength at (hybrid quarter wavelength). The fabrication is based on the electrochemicaletching of silicon, yielding parallel trenches with depths up to . Preliminary reflectivity measurements show the presence of a band gap at , as theoretically expected.
One-dimensional magnetic grating structure made easy89(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2355455View Description Hide Description
A simple and easy method of the fabrication of one-dimensional magnetic gratingstructure is developed. By using the interference pattern of two femtosecond laser beams, a selective-area annealing of as-deposited film was achieved and one-dimensional magnetic gratingstructures were fabricated. The as-deposited films exhibit no magnetic response at room temperature. Several microscopies were applied to confirm the periodic crystalline and magnetic structures. The Faraday-like rotation of the polarization of the zeroth- and first-order diffracted beams were measured, and that of the first-order diffracted beam is nearly six times larger than that of the zeroth-order beam.
Near-infrared wavelength intersubband transitions in short period superlattices89(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2358929View Description Hide Description
Intersubband transitions in short period superlattices prepared by molecular beam epitaxy were investigated using the optical absorption technique. The peak position wavelengths of these transitions are found to span the spectral range of for samples cut into 45° waveguides with GaNquantum well thicknesses ranging between 1.70 and . The Fermi energy levels are estimated from the carrier concentrations, which were measured using an electrochemical capacitance-voltage profiler. The well widths were inferred from comparing the measured peak position energy of the intersubband transitions and the bound state energy levels calculated using the transfer matrix method.
Individual classification of buried transistors in live microprocessors by functional infrared emission spectral microscopy89(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2358935View Description Hide Description
The authors classify good, leaky, and broken field effect transistors (FET's) in a live flip-chip microprocessor using functional infrared emission spectralmicroscopy. The FET's are in the active layer that is sandwiched between a thick heat-absorbing silicon material and a highly reflecting grid of metal interconnects. Together they are optically imaged only as a single bright blob. They classify FET's individually from their distinct electroluminescencespectra that are recovered efficiently by spectral decomposition of the detected composite spectrum. Leaky FET's have no apparent structural damage and are detectable only in live microprocessors.
Resonant tunneling diode made of organic semiconductor superlattice89(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2358936View Description Hide Description
The authors studied the current-voltage characteristics of the organic superlattices of an ITO/1,3,5-tris-(3-methylphenylphenylamino) triphenylamine (-MTDATA) . The thickness of -MTDATA was varied from with the fixed Bphen thickness at . The current-voltage characteristics of the organic superlattice show a peak and a valley between 3 and when the thickness of -MTDATA is , which is due to the resonant tunneling currents. It is found that there is no luminance by the resonant tunneling currents.
Utilization of water/alcohol-soluble polyelectrolyte as an electron injection layer for fabrication of high-efficiency multilayer saturated red-phosphorescence polymer light-emitting diodes by solution processing89(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2358942View Description Hide Description
Highly efficient multilayer red polymer light-emitting diodes were fabricated by solution process-ing from iridium complex, bis(1-(3-(9,9-dimethyl-fluorene-2-yl)phenyl)isoquinoline-) iridium(III)acetylacetonate, doped into polyfluorene as a host and with a water/alcohol-soluble polymer, poly[(9,9-bis(-((-dimethyl)--ethylammonium)propyl)-2,7-fluorene)-2,7-(9,9-dioctylfluorene)-4,7-(2,1,3-benzoselenadiazole)]dibromide (PFN) as electron injection layer. The device with the structure showed an external quantum efficiency of 18.0% and luminance efficiency of at a current density of , a peak emission at , and Commission International de I'Eclairage coordinates of (0.665, 0.319). The efficiency remained as high as , and , at a current density of , and a luminance of .
Design of midinfrared photodetectors enhanced by surface plasmons on grating structures89(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2360896View Description Hide Description
The authors propose to exploit the unique properties of surface plasmons to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of midinfrared photodetectors. The proposed photodetector consists of a slit in a metallic slab filled with absorptive semiconductor material. Light absorption in the slit is enhanced due to Fabry-Perot resonances. Further absorption enhancement is achieved by surrounding the slit with a series of periodic grooves that enable the excitation of surface plasmons that carry electromagnetic energy towards the slit. Using this scheme, they design and optimize a photodetector operating at with a roughly 250 times enhancement in the absorption per unit of volume of semiconductor material compared to conventional photodetectors operating at the same wavelength.
Saturable absorption of highly stacked InAs quantum dot layer in band89(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2357598View Description Hide Description
The authors examined band absorption saturation properties of 150 stacked InAsquantum dot layers on InP substrate. The transmission change at the vertical incidence based on the saturable absorption of the quantum dots was as much as 1%. Theoretical prediction shows that the transmission change could be greatly increased by removing the InP substrate. After grinding the substrate and antireflection coating on both surfaces, transmittance change was build up to 3%. It is thus concluded that highly stacked quantum dot layers are potentially applicable to a planar-type mode locker for short optical pulse generation in the band.
Temperature dependence of threshold current in -doped quantum dot lasers89(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2361167View Description Hide Description
The authors measure the temperature dependence of the components of threshold current of undoped and -doped quantum dot lasers and show that the temperature dependence of the injection level necessary to achieve the required gain is the largest factor in producing the observed negative in -doped quantum dot lasers.
Gain and lifetime of GaInNAsSb narrow ridge waveguide laser diodes in continuous-wave operation at89(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2361179View Description Hide Description
The continuous-wave (cw) operation of GaInNAsSb lasers at is reported. Light-current measurements were made before and after a cw burn in at , during which a device with initial threshold current and maximum output power experienced a 15% drop in peak output power. These preliminary lifetime results provide insight into the reliability of GaInNAsSb active regions and reinforce the promise of this material for C-band devices. High-resolution modal gain spectra were extracted from the amplified spontaneous emissionspectra acquired after the burn in, providing reliable values for the internal loss, transparency current, and differential gain.
Optically pumped semiconductor disk laser with graded and step indices89(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.2359580View Description Hide Description
Results of a study of different gain section designs in nonresonantly optically pumped vertically emitting semiconductor disk lasers (SCDLs) are presented. Clear superiority of structures with barriers based on graded-gap layers is demonstrated. This finding is assigned to the lack of absorption saturation within the barriers caused by the efficient carrier collection capabilities of graded structures compared to ungraded ones. Transient photoluminescence experiments providing direct access to the carrier transfer from the barrier to the quantum-well active region confirm this explanation. Consequently, the authors propose graded designs for SCDLs.

Controversy over evolution in Israel
The chief scientist in Israel's ministry of education, Gavriel Avital, "sparked a furor" by questioning the reliability of evolution and global warming, leading to calls for his dismissal, according to Haaretz (February 21, 2010).
Opinions on evolution from ten countries
A recent international survey (PDF) conducted by the British Council investigated awareness of Darwin, acceptance of evolution, and attitudes toward evolution and faith.
"Public Acceptance of Evolution" in Science
The August 11, 2006, issue of Science features a brief article (PDF; subscription required) on "Public Acceptance of Evolution," written by Jon D. Miller of Michigan State University, Eugenie C. Scott of NCSE, and Shinji Okamoto of Kobe University. Reviewing the past twenty years of polling in the United States, Miller, Scott, and Okamoto observe, "After 20 years of public debate, the percentage of U.S.

For most investors, the key is patience
Downsize in a major way

Next week the equity market faces a number of important economic indicators. Pending home sales, ISM data, employment numbers, and auto sales are set for release. Additionally, the Fed meets July 30 and 31. However, the market saw a number of macro developments this week which could influence pricing on a medium term basis. Let me know which event you think could bubble up to impact the stock market in the coming weeks. Here are your choices:
1) Two key market sectors, transportation and semiconductor, failed to hold gains over the May/June highs. The Market Vectors Semiconductor ETF ( SMH ) and iShares Transportation Sector ETF ( IYT ) could not sustained strength.
2) People's Bank of China Governor Zhou Xiaochuan said the Chinese economy was under large downward pressure due to external and internal forces. He indicated that the PBOC would strengthen macro credit policy guidance and encourage lending to small businesses.
3) The Detroit Bankruptcy. The recent direction of the bankruptcy case has generated uncertainty over the credit worthiness and safety of General Obligation municipal bonds. There is a chance that municipal credit is dramatically re-priced as the trade rethinks ratings. Additionally, reforms may be around the corner for state pensions with implications for the wealth and the spending habits of government workers and private sector tax payers.
4) SAC Capital was indicted. Will there be a short term impact on prices due to the potential impact on liquidity and repositioning of portfolio holdings?
5) Japan's June core CPI rose 0.4% y/y posting its fastest gain in about 5 years. Deflation looks to be ending in Japan. Will the gain shake global bond markets and U.S. stock market pricing?
Markets are supposed to be forward looking, but sometimes seemingly stale events show up to surprise investors. Where do you stand?

She won't drink water. Has been on 50/50 BM and formula since birth.
Any advice?
Rice cereal is iron fortified and can heavily constipate. Bananas constipate as well. Apples (juice if its really bad and the doc advises it) prunes and plums help move things along.
The transition to solid foods can hit a babies digestive system pretty hard as a whole though...so all foods may cause issues at first.
Gerber oatmeal cereal, bananas...that seems to be all. If she gets constipated (which our family ahs a big history of constipation problems) We give her a little apple juice sometimes. But most of the time we give her stage one prunes. That's all she needs to help her! :) Works everytime!
What about peas, carrots or beets?
We have also done blueberries.

Need to educate policy makers: R K Singh Last Updated : 05 Dec 2012 03:39:05 PM IST File Photo
Traffic safety is not on the top agenda of policymakers and there is a need to educate them on this subject which is getting difficult day-by-day, Union Home Secretary R K Singh said on Wednesday.
Inaugurating a seminar on "strengthening traffic management systems and improving road safety" here, Singh said the burgeoning problem of traffic and resulting accidents and other hazards have "not really been getting the due attention".
"I think the solution to this (traffic) problem should begin with policies..it has to begin with policy...first of all we have to educate our policy makers that this is the world you are entering, this is what you will get to see and this is what you have to prepare for...increasing migration increasing urbanisation and therefore you will have to invest more (on these subjects)," Singh said.
The policymakers are grappling with more fundamental problems like poverty, health care, delivery of food at affordable prices...these are the priorities which occupy the mind of our leaders, he said at the seminar, organised by the
Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPRD) along with traffic agencies in private domain.
The Home Secretary said steps should be taken to "discourage individual transport and push people towards public transport" and that such a transport should be convenient.
The three-day seminar which will debate a host of causes and solutions to meet the challenge posed by the rapidly increasing volume traffic and accidents, will present its recommendations to the Home Ministry after deliberations.
BPRD is the nodal department under the Home Ministry to undertake research and development projects in subjects related to policing and law and order.
According to official data, road accidents claimed the maximum number of lives, 1.43 lakh people in 2011, as compared
to insurgency (1,399 deaths) and natural calamities (23,690 deaths) during the same period.
The Home Secretary emphasised that all stakeholders involved in the subject of traffic management should come
together to devise solutions to the menace of unruly traffic and unfortunate deaths that occur on roads.
"We got to sit down and brainstorm with Planning Commission here (central level) or with Planning and development departments there (in states)...this stems from the fact that we have a federal structure, this stems from the fact that we need to educate our policy makers," Singh said.
The top bureaucrat also said the conditions of municipal corporations in the country is "pathetic".
"We have left the issues of traffic management to lowest body in our system, that is the municipality (which deal with
traffic lights and city roads). Condition of all our municipalities is pathetic... they don't have sufficient sources of revenue. If they have, they don't have any administrative infrastructure to be able to mobilise those, so most municipalities are bankrupt, they are in red...deeply in red," he said.
Calling the menace of unruly traffic a "huge problem", Singh said a number of people are now moving from rural areas
to urban ones.
"Mobility has increased...more people have started from smaller towns to bigger towns. That increase in mobility has sent more people on roads, more people are using traffic systems. This is going to increase if you see the pace of urbansiation...from rural to urban areas," he said.
This problem is going to increase and unless and until we build systems to take care of this (the problem will not be solved), he said.
"We are in a stage of development where we still have these problems (of poverty and food) which are essentially problems of the earlier age which are of concern to us and at the same time we are entering the modern era which means cars
from cities...which means mobility. Both these worlds...we are in a stage of development where both these worlds are
"We are in a stage of development and we have a distance to cover," he noted.
Singh rued that urban development is one of the "most neglected" subjects.
He also said that the Public-Private-Partnership is not going ahead at the pace that it should be but keeping focus on its movement, it can be achieved.
He also favoured having a traffic engineering wing in ministries and departments of road transport and highways, both at the central and state level.
Speaking on the subject, Rohit Baluja, President of Institute of Road Traffic Education (partner with BPRD) said the killings on the road should be termed "terrorist activity" and steps should be undertaken to not only minimise but totally stop road and highway accidents.
BPRD chief Kuldeep Sharma said his department is creating a National Institute of Traffic Management in Rajasthan's
Alwar to initiate best practises in this domain.Source: IANS, Other Agencies, Staff Reporters

Guide was knowledgable and made the time on the bus between stops worthwhile.
It was one of the best tour that I went on.our guide was very experience.he made it fun and enjoyable.thank you.will highly recommend it to my friends and family.
A big title but the tour is worth it if you're short on time and covers some important places like Stonehenge, stops at Bath, Stratford-On-Avon and passes through the Cotswolds. It's good coverage for a single day.
Highly Recommended especially if you want to get a little taste of England in a day.
This is a fantastic tour and all three stops on this itinerary are worth seeing! Stratford-on-Avon is a beautiful little town and our family enjoyed the scones and champagne (or orange juice) while looking out the window at the lovely garden around William Shakespeare's childhood home. The drive through the Cotswold's revealed magnificent scenery of the English countryside on our way to Bath. Bath is a picturesque town with much to see and do. The only downside of this trip is that there is not adequate time to see Bath because this is the stop where you eat lunch which limits your sightseeing time. The guides offered us the chance to grab a sandwich and eat it when we got back on the bus and we should have taken them up on it. Fifteen more minutes would have made a difference for sure. Then back on the bus and on your way to Stonehenge which is a magnificent sight whose origins remains a mystery even today. This tour does not allow one to get inside the stone circle or touch the stones. I had the pleasure of this opportunity on a previous visit, but these spaces are limited. Even so, the majesty of the stones and their unique placement are awesome. There is a very nice gift shop on site also. Our tour guide was named Frank and the bus driver was Steve. These two guys did an outstanding job. Frank's commentary was very interesting, never boring, and offered invaluable insight of the areas. They managed the entire tour efficiently and competently, always considerate of our needs. I highly recommend this tour.
Fantastic trip!
Great trip, loved it.
Excellent day seeing some historical sights as well as some absolutely stunning Cotswold countryside.....
A perfect day's getaway from london....Mark ( our tour guide ) was excellent and his perfect " Henry V "
Performance would have earned him a standing ovation had we not all had our seat belts on.....instead he received a " sitting "ovation !.........I highly recommend this tour !
I'm so glad I did this trip! I was in England (London) for only 4.5 days last week and wanted to be sure I got outside of the city. I booked this day trip after hearing it was great from my cousin. The weather was great and we really enjoyed seeing Stratford (and the scone/champagne in Shakespeare's garden), Bath (going inside of the Roman Baths is about 15 pounds) and Stonehenge. The drive through the Cotswolds was beautiful... I had a great day and would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see more than just the city of London :)
Long day trip but very enjoyable day seeing the country side.
Awesome tour!! Loved it! Had the best driver and guide! Very knowledgable and friendly. Was able to see so much of the countryside and a great day out of the city,
Great trip. Our guide Frank was very informative and told interesting things along our trip. The whole process from booking the trip to the end of the trip was easy and without any trouble. Very recomended to those who want a bit different experience of England not just London.
Fantastic day. Long day and fast moving as to be expected when you see how many miles are covered. David and Malcolm made this trip even more enjoyable as aside to the beautiful scenery, they provided laughs and a great atmosphere along the way and of course a lot of interesting and valuable information. As we were short on time, this trip was one we were really glad to have taken.
The was a great way to see many of the fabulour things in England. The orchestration of getting on the bus at the Bus terminal was a little confusing as they didn't have the tour reflected correctly on the monitor, but the tour guide was great and made the trip a very enjoyable experience. He was extremely knowledgeable, added fun and drama to the trip and was very good at making everyone feel part of the trip.
Great guide who was entertai ning and showed us all we wanted to see.
the trip was amazing and entirely thanks to our terrific guide David! so funny, knowledgeable and insightful. a very inspiring man who clearly relates to the places we have been to and is very keen to pass on the knowledge and history of them. wonderful!
Punctual. Interesting and informative commentary. Stratford upon Avon was maically picturesque; lovely Cotswolds sceenery andmysteriously majestic Stonehenge! Well worth it!
This tour was awesome! The guide was super and shared lots of information both factual and gossip. He made the whole trip fun and entertaining even recited Shakespeare along the way. Very fun and informative.
We enjoyed the trips. The tour guider's rich knowledge and very experience.
Okay David, I know you are going to read this and it's going to be one of the good reviews!. David is a one-of-a kind tour guide who is very funny and knowledgeable. With a sardonic sense of humor and great timing, off we went to Stonehenge, Stafford on Avon ("they haven't used "upon" for over one-hundred years"--Thank you David!) and Bath, intently focused on his stories of history, some interesting personal disclosures and literate descriptions of the landmarks, we enjoyed every moment.
If you are a person that does not take yourself too serious and want to be truly educated about these landmarks, David is your man. My wife and I are still talking about the fun we had on this tour. By the way David, I really am trying to get back into Shakespeare. We hope you are having a good year with your students at school. Sarah is enjoying her new math students this school year and I was thinking how much our part of Virginia resembles the English countryside.
Until we meet again.
This was a good tour for people with limited time in England. Being a large group tour was OK but I wish I had taken a small group option. The guide and driver were both excellent and looked after everyone really well. With a larger group, unfortunately, you are at the mercy of other travellers and some other travellers do not follow instructions well when it comes to meeting times. This is not a comment against the tour just a comment about large group tours.
The Bath city tour was amazing, as if it stood still in time. Enjoyed both Stonehenge and also Stratford upon Avon too. Long day but great value.
Guide extremely knowledgable. Tour very well organized with gd mix of free time, guided time and bus time. Shakespeare's birthplace highlight as not crowded, relaxed and champagne and scone a nice touch upon arrival.
Becka Jane-lee Australia
This Tour was a one shot hit all the main places :)
The tour guide is so helpful and is rather funny aswell.
It is a long day with a good amount of driving but once you arrive you will see its worth every cent :)
Tour guide was excellent!!!! So informative! A busy day with fitting a lot into one trip and well worth the money! You really get a feel for England on this one! I highly recommend it.
Thoroughly enjoyed Stonehenge and Bath The countryside was absolutely beautiful

Such factors include those described from time to time in Nanosphere's filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Please note that Nanosphere undertakes no duties to update this information.
I would now like turn the presentation over to your host for today, Mr. Bill Moffitt, Chief Executive Officer. Please proceed.
Bill Moffitt
Thank you, Darcel. Good afternoon everyone, and thanks for joining us for Nanosphere's Investor Conference Call covering the third quarter of 2012. In a few moments I'll turn the call over to Mike McGarrity, Chief Commercial Officer and Roger Moody, Chief Financial Officer, who will provide you additional insights into our third quarter results. But first I'll give you my perspective on our progress.
There are four primary points to make today. First, our U.S. business is robust as evidenced by placements in Q3, our building customer pipeline moves traffic in attendance at our workshop at the annual meeting of the Association for Molecular Pathology and customer interest in our growing pipeline of new products.
Of the nearly 100 systems placed in the U.S. in the last year 90% are running or validating the blood stream infection assay and nearly half are running or intend to validate our respiratory virus assay this flu season. Second, we expect U.S. placements to continue to ramp in successive quarters. But we are experiencing softness in Europe as both macro and microeconomic factors are affecting our entire industry.
Over the past four quarters we've seen the mix of international system placements fall as a percentage of total placements, dropping from an average of about 35% of placements to a low of 20% during this third quarter. We expect this softness in the markets in Europe to continue. Therefore we are guiding expectations to around the low-end of our previously stated ranges for placements, until such time as we have clearer visibility to the market in Europe and to our timing for entry into additional markets in the Asia Pacific region, where we are in discussions with potential partners.
Our third quarter revenue is reflective of lower instrument sales in international markets and the 90 day customer validation lag for our blood stream infection assay. Instrument revenue is affected as a greater percentage of placements are in the U.S., where reagent rental agreements are more prevalent than outright sales, which is the predominant method of international placements through distributors.
Installations of the blood stream infection assay only commenced in the first week of July. With an approximately 90 day cycle from placement to usage as customers work through training and the validation process, we expect to see early customer revenue from our blood stream infection assay in this fourth quarter.
My final point is that our product pipeline continues to grow and create significant customer interest. Early in the third quarter we submitted our C. difficile assay to the FDA. We would expect to hear initial comments and questions from the FDA sometime later this quarter. Our gram-positive assay and our enteric assay are both coming along well through internal verification studies.
External clinical studies on the enteric assay have started and we expect to bring up additional study sites over the coming weeks. Our goal is to CE Mark the gram-positive assay right after the first of the year and submit the enteric panel to the FDA in the New Year as well.
Now, I'll turn the call over to Mike, to expand further on our commercial progress. Mike?
Mike McGarrity
Thanks Bill. We had 50 new customer placements in the third quarter. Bringing our install base to more than 200 and we continue to make progress in building our customer pipeline, driven by our gram-positive blood culture assay. The pipeline is also fortified by those awaiting our gram-positive C. difficile and enteric panels. While it is traditionally difficult to project respiratory season dynamics we would also expect to see initial usage in our respiratory customer sides.
Q3 consumed our commercial organization focusing on upgrading software and beginning to move blood culture customers through the training and validation process and into live utilization and implementation. We have stated that we believe this process will take an average of 90 days. Our validated customers have so far met this expectation since our launch in early July and the remainder are entering or moving through that validation process.
Our commercial team is organized to support the customer through this process in order to ensure timely and successful implementation. We recently attended the Association for Molecular Pathology meeting, where we hosted a workshop featuring presentations of data related to our blood culture assay, as well as early clinical experience with our C. difficile and enteric panels by Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and Medical College of Wisconsin respectively. These presentations highlighted the accuracy, clinical utility and economic impact of our microbiology menu, and we are well attended, and well received.

Monday, May 24, 2010
This is not the 1st year anniversary blog I thought I would be writing; in fact I almost forgot it was my 1st year anniversary. I only just finished eating dinner a little after 9 PM and why is that?
Don�t get me wrong I love my new job but I need to get �my act� together. I love my new job, everyone is so nice, it is a fun office but I can�t keep working every night till 7:30 to 8 PM every night. I need to get my butt out there no later than 6 PM. I have been so tired from the hours I have been keeping because I do go to the gym every morning before work, which is why I work till 6 PM. I am able to work flex hours so I can start an hour later to give me time to go home, shower, and dress and that is a big plus for me.
Leave no Sparker behind has become my way of thinking here on Spark people but I am afraid I am guilty of leaving myself behind. I think I just squeaked by on Friday with just Sparking long enough to do my minimal Spark Tasks for the day that Spark People sets up for us each day to do this or read that. Saturday and Sunday I did no more than log in, track my food and fitness minutes. It is so unlike me. I have been so tired, no exaggeration I have been in bed fast asleep by 9 PM. That is not good.
My biggest fear is that I will be doing a repeat of what I did last year. I screwed around for the 1st three weeks before actually started Sparking. I gained 3 pounds to boot during that time. I was thrilled with the weight I lost last year but I have lost zippo since then. I underwent so major personal issues including identity theft that really stressed me out. I had bouts of kidney stones as a result of the stress and then I came down with shingles. The shingles brought steroids, which I have been on and off since then. Tried talking my Doctor about letting me just take the least amount of days but since the end of March I have been on them and have to stay on them till the end of June. It will be back to the Doctor for re-evaluation to see if she will take me off the steroids. I stepped on the scale back in January and saw a 2-pound gain, after that I refused to step on the scale till I go off the steroids. I know I have gained but I don�t want to know how much or I know I will go off the deep end and then go on a huge binge.
I have been eating right and exercising right but I am not stepping on that scale. The old Yvonne would have just given into the steroids and �pigged out� until the steroids were over. I know me and I know that it is best I stay off the scale. My Spark Page says I am a work in process and I will admit I am not strong enough to jump on that scale, you can call me chicken and you would be right.
Despite my not jumping on the scale right now I have come far and I have learned a lot from the articles on Spark People and from its members. I am thrilled with what I have accomplished but I have oh so more to do before I am done. I try to give back what Spark People has given to me in the blogs I post. I try to share my knowledge and my mission is to get people to try new things or ways of eating foods. I think it is important we can incorporate yummy dishes in our food plans so we don't feel deprived while eating healthy. I try to write a Vegetable, bean, or grain of the week to do just that. I believe we should never stop learning.
I read an article in Spark People two weeks ago and it kind of sums up my philosophy here on Spark People. �A healthy lifestyle is a process-more of a journey than a destination. You can always learn more about nutrition, fitness, and even yourself that can help you be just a little bit better tomorrow.� In my blogs I try to do just that.

Member Comments About This Blog Post:
I am sympathizing with you. I had gotten to the point that I finally noticed no one here was doing any housework except my hubby because I was on the computer sparking all the time. I realize at my age I am getting slower, so I am thinking how I can still be part of the Spark People Community without spending so much time computing. My husband, sweet as he always is, never has said a word, but he is almost 75 and we both need to take care of ourselves. I am trying to find solutions and so far I have come up with not receiving as much email. I will see how this goes for a while and then make other adjustments if necessary. I do hope you will consider other options for yourself. Please take care.

Wish so much for you this year had been easier. I dont think you are chicken at all. I think that the scale is just a tool and it is more how you are feeling. At least I try to think that way. I hope once you see the Dr you will get off the steriods and then get yourself back to a Yvonne happy place. i am glad the job is good but agree you need to keep it to the 8hrs and have some time for yourself and what you need to do to feel strong for yourself.
You will get there I know you are just too smart to stop know and go back. You can do it!!!
Hugs and smiles

Take care of you! I understand loving your job and the people that you work with but you can't let it overcome you so that you forget who you are. Maybe you should see if one of your coworkers would like to become your walking buddy at lunch time or before work. I think that it may help balance things.
Regardless of the struggle, you have come a LONG WAY and you are an inspiration to us all!
Keep it up and Happy Sparking for your wonderful journey!

Take care of YOU, Yvonne!

We love you, Yvonne and I know you are eating right and exercising. Steroids can be a real bummer and it's NOT YOUR FAULT. Celebrate all of your successes. You are an amazing woman and motivator.
Happy Sparkversary!

You are definitely NOT a chicken for not stepping on the scale! You're the opposite actually. It's taking courage to not step on the scale because if you do, you know you'll spiral downwards. That's taking courage. You're doing what you need to in order to keep that from happening. Way to be strong!
Instead, you're focusing on your healthy habits. Eating right and exercising. That's great! You should be proud of yourself
Take a second and analyze your day. See why it is that you can't seem to leave work at a decent time. See where you can make some changes. You've been hit with a lot of things this year and you've been dealing with them beautifully. Keep up the great work!
Report Inappropriate Comment
You've had a heck of a year with all of the changes and unexpected drama that seemed to hit all at once. It's easy to be really hard on ourselves and get discouraged. One thing for sure, you motivate and inspire us and we are your personal cheering section. Thank you for all that you do and keep your chin up. I can't wait to see where you will be this time next year.
Report Inappropriate Comment
Yvonne, you are always supportive and motivating which is why we all love you and your blogs. But take the time out you need for you! Get well and get settled at work and find your new rhythm. i keep really long hours at work too and I've found it's easy to do if you don't have plans. So I strongly recommend finding something to do after work that you don't want to blow off, like a new exercise class, meeting friends, etc. It's much easier to change your plans if it's just you and doesn't affect anyone else.
As far as the weight gain, this is supposed to be about healthy habits, not necessarily just about the weight loss. So if you are still keeping up a healthy lifestyle, you are still winning, even with a few extra pounds. Just keep in mind the things you can do now that you couldn't do last year. And remember that steroids and stress all cause weight gain, but once you're rid of both, you'll start seeing the results of your continued healthy living!
I think you're doing great and I know you will make the progress you want to see as soon as you get into the rhythm of your new life!

I don't think it's chickenly of you to stay away from the scale right now. Not at all!!! In fact, Yvonne, I think it's downright smart. If you know your tendency would be to binge after an unfriendly scale check, then why on earth would you risk it? Why invite a trigger into your world? Nope. You are doing what's right for you. And included in that is your amazing attitude and percerverence. Nothing can be achieved without persistence. Oh, and as for the lovely quote you had at the end, it reminded me of one of my favorites:
"The journey itself is home." ~Basho
And I believe it!!!
You are so wonderful, always providing great info and helpful tips. I love your blogs that encourage us to take care of ourselves. Time to take your own advice. Stop giving yourself so little time, and TAKE CARE OF YOU!!!

Yvonne there's time that we fail because we just given to our cravings and then there's those that work to much and can't put the exercise time in as they would like.
You have always been motivated and determined to meet your goals and help others that are in the same shoes. I believe you are that same person nothing has changed.
You just happen to have a minor change in your life that involves a new job outside of you home. I can honestly say that even though you were working(out) of your home you did not take it for granted.
You had the best of both worlds and you still do working that shift is just the same. It's a minor adjustment and you will get back on a routine that won't interrupt your daily plans.
Give it sometime you are a Female, you are Fabulous and you are Fierce (A Warrior)
I think you have done so much better then I in eating habits, work-outs and determination, You are definitely my role model. Just a little note if you fall down don't worry you will get up or all your Spark friends will help you up..

I'm right here with you Yvonne. Did very well last year, but since Jan. have lost and gained the same few pounds. My health has changed, and I know that is what has made the difference. Let's work together and march forward on our journey! We can do it!

It sounds like you need the help of family or friends for awhile. Maybe a workout partner for in the morning or right after work. That might help motivate you to get out of work on time. You have to think about your health and fitness. Your job can be great, but if you don't find a balance it is going to make you unhappy in the end. The good news is you can totally do this! It'd be much harder if your work place was terrible or you hated your job.

So don't jump on the scale, with all the stress then illness and your still doing good.
You should be proud of yourself, because when stress stuff happeneds that is when you could easily go back to the old ways and you haven't, it sounds like your doing great eating right exercising and a new job to boot?

You say you need to do better but I think you are doing GREAT and I look forward to everyone of your blogs to see how you are doing. Remember, this isn't a race! Everyone of us is going to move at out own pace, micro-pound by micro-pound with advances and setbacks but the true measure is those of us that keep the going week after week, day after day and even minute by minute for many of us. You are doing great and you will continue to do great!!!!!!!
I believe in you!!!!!

Hello AllI have finally considered jumping the gun and purchasing the d7000. I need help in choosing the right lens for my interest in photography which is largely action shots or family portraits with shallow DoF/bokehs. In fact my family is shy so I prefer to be at a distance to take candid shots ... and thats where my earlier camera was handy at 15x optical zoom.Now that I intend to dive into the DSLR, I plan to completely skip the 18-105 standard lens and instead invest in a telephoto...

Instead of each method call being a separate post, use chunk-encoded request. If you look at the traffic in wireshark many times the payload is much smaller than the HTTP header. Using chunk encoding, the per method overhead of the http header is gone. Running a simple test of getting a time as i32, using http post vs chunk encoding I got from 100+ms to ~40ms per request as the servlet container did not have to process the overhead of a "new request".
More I think with jetty and continuation the long running connections could actually scale and perform a lot better than the current HttpClient.

Chunk encoding client
Does this buffer more than one method call into a single request?
It is a single request BUT No buffer. Http chunk encoding allows for sending a the request and the response in chunks.
So each method call is a request chunk each response is a response chunk.
In pseudo:
<chunk1 request>
<chunk1 response>
<chunk2 request>
<chunk 2 response>
Here is a capture from wireshark(no color) calling gettime in a loop:
CONNECT /ds/ HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:8080
User-Agent: BattleNet
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
content-type: application/x-thrift
Accept: /
........time.....HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/x-thrift
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Server: Jetty(7.0.1.v20091125)
<and many more>
This is different from the current http client where each method call creates an - HTTP REQUEST/RESPONSE HEADER
Check with wireshark
I wrote up some more explonation :http://hungariannotation.blogspot.com/2010/02/no-rpc-for-async-io-case-for-flash-as3.html
also sent a patch for JAva and As3 in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-518
I'd kind of like to commit this patch, but there are a few oddities I think we might want to address.
In read(), there's an else case that prints some anonymous-looking variable to stdout. Is this intentional, or debugging?
In write, the user agent is set as "BattleNet". Seems misleading. Maybe "TFullDuplexHttpClient" instead?
Would be nice to move the constructor closer to the top of the file.
open() should probably throw TTransportExceptions in the case of problems instead of just printing the stack trace.
The file is indented with tabs. We use spaces.
It looks like this client makes assumptions in the read method that are not valid in some cases. While the initial request states it is using Transfer-Encoding: chunked that does not mean that the server will respond with a response that is using Transfer-Encoding: chunked. There are other aspects of the HTTP specification that are also not implemented.
This client seems too limited to be used in many environments since it assumes that the server will always return a chunked response and nothing else.
There was a recent commit to THttpClient,
THRIFT-970, that allows it to use apache httpcomponents client which is more complete and can support chunking. Maybe this implementation could be adapted to use apache httpcomponents based on that example instead of rolling its own http client?
THttpClient currently buffers the response in the flush method, in theory, to prevent clients from exhausting ephemeral ports and holding open connections on the servers. It would have to be implemented slightly differently in this class to achieve a buffer-less read but it wouldn't be too different from what is currently implemented in THttpClient.

LUBBOCK,TX- Bring on the rain!
That is what the folks in Ralls said Friday as more than four inches dumped on the small town.
Everyone we spoke to said they have been praying for rain for a long time, hoping to get some relief from the drought.
Pastor T.J. Messer with First Baptist Church of Ralls said the rain is a sign of good faith.
"We just attribute this to God and don't know why we are in such a big drought, but I know this will help," Messer said.
Kevin Langdon is in the irrigation business, and even he was happy to see the wet stuff.
"We've been praying for it," Langdon said. "When you get a pump man that prays for rain, you know it is dry."
But happiest of them all had to be cotton farmer David Appling.
"It's wonderful," Appling said. "We are struggling, especially on our dry land. We hadn't had rain in so long...we just went ahead and planted and we hadn't quite got done, but this ought to finish it, give us a good start."
While too much rain can damage the newly planted crop, Appling said that does not matter.
They need the rain so much, Appling said he would not mind re-planting his crop.

Hi! My name is Jamie and I've been riding since July this year. I've got a beautiful 1983 Honda Shadow VT500 that's been awesome for me these past few months. She's held up beautifully even though I've put almost 10,000km on her since starting.
Anywho, this is my first time on one of these bike forums so hopefully it turns out good. Thank you for having me. Hope to get along well!

As New York magazine writes its its post-mortem on the flatlining Clinton campaign, let's shoot another really retarded notion in the head as well: that Clinton will occupy the bottom of the Dem's Prez-Veep ticket. Ain't gonna happen, for two reasons. One, it doesn't help Obama. While there are those who will argue (falsely, in my opinion) that Obama's the one that Republicans want as their target, an Obama-Clinton ticket would be like positioning a paralyzed Willie Horton in front of Dick Cheney's rifle. The Grand Old Party could run a transsexual iguana as its nominee (and to diehard conservatives, McCain ain't much better), and the money would still pour in, given the opposition.
Two, given Hillary's relative age and megalomania, it doesn't make sense career-wise. While smart money's on Obama to topple McCain in the November general (it's the turnout, stupid), it's hardly a foregone conclusion -- and Clinton would do herself no favors being on the losing end of that debacle. Conversely, if McCain eeks out a victory over Obama and whoever (Biden or Richardson are my best guesses), Clinton is the surefire nominee in '12 -- really the last year she can run without being fitted for adult diapers. Then again, she was supposed to be the surefire nominee in '08, so we'll see what happens.
