I bought this dress at a sample sale, but ended up falling out of love with it the next day. It's in beautiful condition and has never been used, only tried on. No alterations have been done, but I can tell you that I am a size 2 and was swimming in this size 8.
It's a great steal, as the dress typically goes for over $3,000.
It's a beautiful dress! It's just not THE dress for me.

Ok. After trying to formulate this question a couple of times, it turns out that this will be a long one. Anywho:
Consider this file structure:
if you do
cd photos
you get
ants/ animals/ profile_pic.jpg
However since the directories vacation and animals only contain one file each, it could arguably be more useful to get
ants/pic1.jpg ani../dog.png profile_pic.jpg
directly, as opposed to having to visit each of animals and vacation. On tab completion however, as in cd a you would want suggestions of the directories instead.
So I know bash completion is handled by the /etc/bash_completion script (I don't wanna go there) and the readline library, but this doesn't really affect ls and certainly doesn't help if you want to extend functionality to file managers such a nautilus. Therefore I was hoping some of this could be tackled using a custom filesystem over fuse. A initial investigation based on this tutorial was somewhat depressing though, as the fuse file system seems to in no way differentiate between my different use cases (readdir, opendir, releasedir every time).
To formulate a question: In what way could a similar functionality be approached, if it's even possible without major revision in the kernel? Where should I look for more information?
Thanks for you time!
EDIT: To clarify, bash is a useful example, but in the end I want this to be the same through nautilus and every other program accessing the files, and I'm gonna write a file system anyway for other issues.

Paranoid Penguin - Running Network Services under User-Mode Linux, Part III
If you patched your UML host's kernel with the SKAS patch, you've already got reasonably good assurance that an attacker who compromises a UML guest won't be able to do much, if anything, on the host system. However, I'm not one to argue against paranoia, so I also recommend you chroot your UML guest system. This is described in detail on the UML Wiki (see Resources). And, what about shell access to your UML guests? There are various ways to access "local consoles". You get one automatically when you start your UML guest from a UML host shell manually—after your UML kernel loads, you'll be presented with a login prompt.
That doesn't do you much good if you start your UML guest automatically from a script, however. The "Device Inputs" page on the User-Mode Linux home page (see Resources) describes how to map UML guest virtual serial lines to UML host consoles. For me, however, it's easiest simply to install SSH on my UML guest system, configure and start its SSH dæmon, and create a firewall rule that allows connections to it only from my UML host.
Generally speaking, you want to use the same security controls and tools on your UML guest (tripwire, chrooted applications, SELinux, tcpwrappers and so on) as you would on any other bastion server.
Describing in detail the process of building your own root filesystem image from scratch would require its own article (one which I may yet write). Suffice it to say, the process is all but identical to that of creating your own bootable Linux CD or DVD, without the final step of burning your image file to some portable medium. There are three major steps:
Create an empty filesystem image file with dd.
Format the image file.
Mount it to a directory via loopback.
Install Linux into it.
The first three steps are the easiest. To create a 1GB ext3 image file, I'd run the commands shown in Listing 3 as root.
Listing 3. Making and Mounting an Empty Filesystem Image
dd if=/dev/zero of=./mydebroot bs=1024K count=1000 mkfs.ext3 ./mydebroot mkdir /mnt/debian mount -o loop ./mydebroot /mnt/debian
Installing Linux into this directory gets a bit more involved, but if you've got a SUSE host system, the Software module in YaST includes a wizard called "Installation into Directory". Like other YaST modules, this is an easy-to-use GUI.
Similarly, if you run Debian, you can use the command debootstrap. See Michael McCabe and Demetrios Dimatos' handy article "Installing User Mode Linux" for detailed instructions on using debootstrap to populate your root filesystem image.
See the UML Wiki for some pointers to similar utilities in other distributions. The Linux Bootdisk HOWTO (see Resources), although not specific to UML, is also useful.
I hope you're well on your way to building your own virtual network servers using User-Mode Linux! The two most important sources of UML information are the UML home page and the UML Wiki (see Resources). Those and the other Web sites mentioned in this piece should help you go much further with User-Mode Linux than I can take you in an introductory series of articles like this. Have fun, and be safe!

More frameworks would be nice
Currently there are at least xen, vserver and openvz as possible alternatives to uml based solution for virtual machines and/or compartimentized components. Each of them has pro and cons. Presenting also the other frameworks in future articles would be a nice thing.

|Statement of Health Officials in Support of Improved
Warning Label Requirements for Alcoholic Beverages
Alcohol is a major factor in massive public health and safety problems in the United States. It is implicated in the three leading causes of death among young people in America and involved in more than 100,000 deaths and more than $185 billion in economic damage. Alcohol consumption is a totally preventable cause of fetal injury, including mental retardation and physical deformities, and a significant contributor to death and disability in traffic crashes. NHTSA reports that among 15-20 year olds, 6,374 were killed in auto accidents in 1999. Alcohol use was cited in 2,238 of those fatalities, the highest level since 1996.
Warning statements on alcoholic-beverage containers, mandated by law since 1989, provide one important component of a comprehensive public-health effort to reduce alcohol problems by raising awareness of, and educating the public, including drinkers, about certain risks related to alcohol consumption. Labels are an effective means for consumers to become informed about a product and any unique characteristics associated with the product.
Unfortunately, many warning labels on alcohol products today fail to meet even minimal design standards to attract consumer attention and convey their important message. Many warning messages currently approved by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF) are not readily legible under ordinary conditions and do not appear separate and apart from all other information on the label, as required by BATF regulations implementing the Alcohol Beverage Labeling Act of 1988. We believe that more prominent, legible, and conspicuous warning messages are necessary to better inform consumers of the noted risks of alcohol consumption and to comply with the intent of Congress when it mandated warning messages.
Therefore, we call upon the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms to issue proposed rules outlining requirements for improved warning messages on alcoholic-beverage labels. At a minimum, those rules should mandate that:
We urge BATF to consult with the Surgeon General, the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, and the Federal Trade Commission in the formulation of new warning label design requirements.

$ABCD$ is a square with a side of length 4. P is on AB, S is on CD and Q is on PS such that:
The triangles $PBR$ and $SDQ$ are both equilateral triangles. See the image below.
Calculate the combined area of the 2 triangles.
What would be the easiest way the solve this? I first tried to name SC x, and then make an equality involving x (something equalling 16, the area of the square, and then solving for that x) but that didn't work out.

Wow ... Buleleng is proved to have a variety of culinary specialties. Aside from being delicious to be savored, they also offer a wide range of options. Naturally, every culinary variety presented to the public, they always draw visitors wishing to enjoy. Similarly, all foreign and domestic tourists were hanging out in the booths in order to enjoy it. Long lines frequently happened. Sometimes, people jostled to get their favorite cuisines. It is a brief illustration on the exhibition in the Buleleng Festival (Bulfest) I in 2013, which was held in the statue of the Singa Ambara Raja, Buleleng. For three days (Aug 23-25), 72 kinds of typical menus from nine subdistricts featured the culinary excellence. Each menu was sold out and the amount reached one hundred portions per day, while the price was cheap.
A variety of menus were presented by each subdistricts throughout Buleleng. Tejakula subdistrict presented Mengguh Kedongkol among the eleven culinary creations presented. Buleleng is synonymous with Siobak Khelok featuring 15 menus. Siobak is usually sold at IDR 20,000 per portion, while during the exhibition was sold for IDR 10,000 per portion. Gerokgak displayed 6 menus, Kubutambahan (9), Banjar (6), Busungbiu (7), Sukasada (19), Seririt (3), as well as the Sawan subdistrict (7). The culinary variety was offered at low prices as traders received subsidies from the Buleleng government by 50 percent. (BTN/015)

Stop abusing our environment
Posted Tuesday, July 15 2014 at 01:00
Every time and again, power tariffs go up encouraging over reliance on charcoal. Gas for domestic use is too expensive. There is no law compelling producers of plastic bottles to see that they are recycled. In New York, a used bottle taken back is paid for (one cent).
There is no graveyard for dead electronics- computers, phones, TVs, radios etc.
All this is killing the environment. People are also killing environment by littering! Buveera can be seen everywhere! There was a law banning the use of Buveera but it is as if is non existent! Road constructors dig big holes extracting marram but don't bother to cover up these holes hence encouraging erosion. There is a whole Ministry for environment and Nema comes out only where officials make money illegally! I am sick and tired of this nation!

We the members of the Chowchilla Tribe of Yokuts have the rightful claim to the ancestral land on which the North Fork Rancheria plans to build a casino near Highway 99. As mentioned in historical documents of California and American Indian history, the Chowchilla Tribe of Yokuts existed in the San Joaquin Valley prior to any white settlers arriving here. Unlike many tribes in California that are not considered recognized, the Chowchilla Indians are a federally recognized California tribe and have never been removed from that status.
For the North Fork Band of Mono Indians to attempt to lay claim to regions historically attributed to the Chowchilla Indians is contrary to every written document. The North Fork tribe has ancestral and archeological rights to its current location in the Sierra Nevada Mountain range above 3,000 feet. They are seeking to move their location 40 miles to the west and on the Valley floor, which is historically Chowchilla Tribe of Yokuts territory. Their move would cause an environmental damage to the land that once housed Chowchilla Indians sites and villages.
A few miles north of the proposed casino site, mammoth bones which our ancestors killed for food and used to make tools used for hunting were unearthed in a land fill. Allowing the North Fork tribe to rest on lands that once were our hunting and gathering sites is not only is violation of the Tillie-Hardwick court ruling of 1987, but sacrilegious to our ancestors.
The Chowchilla Tribe of Yokuts tribal range and influences are documented throughout U.S. government research documents, linguistic studies and numerous Indian reference books. Our tribe stands firm on the fact the land that North Fork Rancheria is attempting to claim is historically the Chowchilla tribes' ancestral territory.
In a determination made by the Secretary of Interior on Nov. 18, 2005, states that "if the land is within the state in which is located -- the reservation of such Indian tribe or the last recognized reservation of such Indian tribe (Hi) the initial reservation of an Indian tribe acknowledge by the secretary under federal acknowledgment process if, as determined by the secretary" the Indian tribe has temporal, cultural and geographic nexus to the land; or (Hi) the restoration of lands for tribe that is restored to federal recognition if, as determined by the secretary, the Indian tribe has temporal, cultural and geographic nexus to the land.
The facts are on record that the North Fork Rancheria is located 40 miles from the land purchased for the purpose of gaming. Although the state and county have entered into compacts or MOUs with the Mono tribe, those decisions have been driven by financial consideration and not by the tribe's legal or historical interests.
It is our right to contest this wrongful action in your presence public view and the Federal Court system. We continue to be the forgotten stepchild in this game of chance. We have the facts and the right to contradict every item featured in North Forks' request for trust acquisition. We stand with fists outwards and arms folded firm in our resolve to fight this matter before you everyone that will hear of the BIAs' stand to avoid the existence of the Chowchilla Tribe of Yokuts right to the land in question.
Editor's note: This letter was written in April 2008 by Jerry Brown, tribal chair of the Chowchilla Tribe of Yokuts. Brown is still chair of the tribal council that represents about 150 tribal members in Chowchilla and the surrounding area, that at one time were members of the Picayune Rancheria of Chukchansi Indians. Since the above letter was written, the Mono casino project has been approved by federal and state government and awaits the approval of the California legislature.

"If religion did not come to grips with the realities of the human condition on earth, if religion did not try to meet the challenges of alienation and reconciliation, of hurt and healing, of war and peace, then religion would be declaring itself marginal in life," so declares Francis Cardinal Arinze in his epochal work, "Religions for Peace: A Call for Solidarity to the Religions of the World."
This urgent call for solidarity by Cardinal Arinze recognizes the fact that most of the world's conflicts have their origins in religious misunderstandings and disputes. But more critically, "If there is no peace and mutual acceptance among people of varying religious persuasions, then peace in the wider society will not be possible," counsels the Cardinal.
Why is it that religions have such a difficult time getting along with each other and some are even openly hostile to one another? Cardinal Arinze identifies four key values which most religious people possess and which lay the foundation on which to construct what Cardinal Arinze calls "an active commitment to establishing an order that will be a source of tranquility." Those values are: (1) the need to accept other people as sisters and brothers; (2) "Social, cultural, and religious respect for marriage, the family, the child, and human life in its various stages of development; (3) "a willingness to acknowledge fault where there has been any, to repent, to ask and give forgiveness, and to seek reconciliation:" and finally (4) "honesty in speech and work, gratitude to benefactors, hospitality to visitors ... and gratuitous love shown to the poor and needy."
The values enumerated above lay the proper foundation on which to construct the virtues needed to bring about universal peace. Cardinal Arinze identifies those virtues as: justice, love of people, "providing information on the negative and terrible effects of war," healing, and hope.
The rest of the book is devoted to setting forth strategies to accomplish the construction of a house of peace in which all of humanity can dwell. It is an awesome task but one which is critical to the survival of people on earth. This marvelous and insightful book is a must read for anyone, religious or not, interested in facilitating the briging of peace on earth and goodwill to all of humanity.

CO2 is acknowledged as a major contributor to climate change. In Ireland, ordinary Portland cement manufacture is the second largest industrial source of CO2 and NOX emissions, after the generation of electricity from fossil fuels. In addition, about one fifth of all dioxin emissions from industry in Ireland arise from cement production. However the production of GGBS from blastfurnace slag, an industrial by-product, generates very low CO2 emissions, and zero emissions of other pollutants. The table below shows figures for CEM I cement and Ecocem GGBS per tonne of production:
|Type of Emissions
|Portland Cement
|Ecocem GGBS
|930 kg
|3.5 kg
|< 0.071 kg**
|2.0 kg
|< 0.00013 kg**
|2.0 kg
|< 0.00690 kg**
|0.4 kg
|< 0.0105 kg
*Ecocem's GGBS has a carbon footprint of zero. Carbon credits from EmissionZero are used to offset the very small (less than 30kg/tonne) CO2 emissions from the electricity, gas and diesel used in the grinding process. This certificate shows the carbon footprint of Ecocem GGBS prior to the use of carbon credits to offset the remaining CO2 emissions.
**Emissions from gas used to dry material prior to grinding. Almost 80% of electricity used in the process is green, thereby contributing very little to emissions.
In Ireland, cement manufacture is the second largest industrial source of CO2 and NOX emissions, after the generation of electricity from fossil fuels. In addition, about one-fifth of all dioxin emissions from industry in Ireland arise from cement production. However the production of GGBS from blastfurnace slag, an industrial by-product, generates very low CO2 emissions, and zero emissions of other pollutants.
Typical CO2 emissions for Portland cement and Ecocem GGBS are illustrated graphically above.
SO2 and NOX lead to acidification of soils and surface waters and can cause nitrogen saturation in terrestrial ecosystems. Increased ground-level ozone formation is caused by NOX and CO. All of these pollutants can have direct effects on human health.
Embodied CO2 is the quantity of CO2 emitted in the manufacture, supply and construction of a building or structure.
In Ireland, embodied CO2 accounts for between 10–15% of our national emissions, which means that it accounts for between approximately 7,000,000 and 10,000,000 tonnes of CO2. This significant figure is equivalent to the CO2 emissions of 2,500,000 cars or C1 rated houses.
There are a number of reasons why more attention should be paid to embodied CO2:
A lot of focus to date has been to reduce the operational CO2 of buildings or structures. This is being managed by increasing insulation, air-tightness, installing solar panels and/or biomass burners etc, and installing better glazing among other items. All of this can come at a significant cost which might get you from a C1 to an A2 rating and a corresponding saving of 3 tonnes of CO2 per annum.
Those who wish to design sustainable developments must consider both the embodied CO2 and the operational CO2. Failure to do this will result in millions of tonnes of lost savings and further damage to our ever increasingly fragile planet.
Once a structure is built, the opportunity is lost to make embodied CO2 savings: so whether you are the developer, architect, engineer, planner, contractor or other member of the project team, don't wait for someone else to act. We all have a responsibility to leave the planet a better place then when we arrived.
Click here to find out how significant embodied CO2 is in the Irish housing industry.
About 90% of the environmental impact of concrete provided at the construction site derives from cement. Using GGBS as a partial replacement for Portland cement yields significant improvements in the environmental performance of concrete. The reductions achieved in various pollutant effects by using 50% GGBS per tonne of concrete are illustrated in the table opposite:
|Reduction achieved
using 50% GGBS
|Global Heating Gas Emission
|Winter Smog
|Primary Energy Requirements
Ireland is committed to reductions in emissions by 2010–2012 as follows:
If Ireland fails to meet these targets, costly financial penalties will be incurred. However the use of GGBS will make an important contribution to achieving Ireland's European and international obligations to reduce pollution. And it will do so without imposing any additional cost once the Irish Government recognises this reality.

One of the numerous splendors of cruising is the ability to visit several ports and places without having to pack or repack your bags or do more than hop a bus, van or water transport right from your ship. Consider visiting pristine rainforests, a "Monkey Island"; working cacao plantations, unspoiled beaches, two thousand-year-old temples and more on a sweet and swanky Crystal Cruises during the line's 2015 Asia cruise season.
We're talking sailing in style in beautifully appointed staterooms and public areas, with personal butlers on the Penthouse Deck, seamless service, gourmet cuisine and crew that never says no (which we have tested many times and never failed).
Crystal's Ten 12- and 13-day itineraries, plus five shortened "Getaways" of six- to seven-days will kick off the ultra-luxe line's 25th year of sailing by cruising through Southeast Asia, China, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and Indonesia.
Highlights include:
- · Maiden calls to Belawan, Indonesia; Sanya, China; Kôchi and Aomori Japan;
- · Later evening stays in Sihanoukville, Cambodia; Chan May, Vietnam; Bali, Indonesia; Pusan, South Korea; Taipei/Keelung, Taiwan; and Singapore;
- · Culture/region-intensive itineraries, including two all-China cruises, with multiple overnights in the country's major cities, and other voyages concentrating heavily on Malaysia, Vietnam and Indonesia.
- · At least two separate overnights offered on every cruise;
- · Calls to gems "less-visited" by the line, such as Yantai, China (Crystal's first visit since 1996); Malacca City and Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia; and Taipei/Keelung, Taiwan;
- · Two-night stays in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Ho Chi Minh City and Yangon (formerly Burma);
- · A three-day pre-/post-cruise overnight land program to Beijing and the Great Wall, included with two March/April cruises.
"The 2015 Asia voyages amount to one of our most immersive, wide-ranging seasons in the region in our 25-year history," says Crystal president Edie Rodriguez. "All travelers – those cruising Asia for the first time and those who have long loved visiting there – will find something new to broaden their perspectives on these ancient lands."
If you book your book between now and June 30, the mostly-inclusive cruise fare (all beverages hard or soft, tips and alternative dining venue fees included) for the 2015 Asia season start at $2,025 per person, with up to $1,800 each in credits (for airfare) and savings. if

FFR Standalone!
Official FFR Standalone Thread!
This guide is designed to help you use a Flash Standalone player to play on the FFR engines. If you're experiencing lag on FFR trying to play in your internet browser, this is your solution!
If you have a general idea what you are doing, here is the quick version with the basics for you to run FFR.
R^3 = The newest and most efficient/up-to-date engine for FFR. It is the current build.
Legacy Engine = The original FFR engine
Velocity Engine = The second FFR engine, coded by Velocity, became an interim engine while staff created R^3.
Web Browser = what you're surfing the net in right now (often IE, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, etc).
Playing FFR in a browser = Playing FFR on the site on it's designated pages (found above).
.SWF = ShockWave File (alternatively Small Web File), this is the extension of the engines themselves located on the website.
Standalone Flash Player = This is NOT something connected with a browser (stand alone). It is a separate file created by Macromedia Flash, one that you download and install (you'll see how below) to run flash applications.
There are four sections to the guide below.
1) You will need to download a Flash Player Standalone, as this is what runs the engine.
2) You will need to find the appropriate .swf link for the engine you wish to run.
3) [Official FFR Only] You will need to log in on Internet Explorer (regardless of the browser you use) for your scores to record.
4) You will need to open the engine link in the standalone to run it.
That being said, here is the breakdown on each. Feel free to skip steps that do not apply to your situation.
Flash Player Standalone
You will need a Flash Player to run the standalone. The list of current options for Flash Players consists of the links below.
a) Flash 8
b) Flash 9
c) Flash 10
d) Flash 11
e) Flash 12
f) Flash 13
g) Flash 14
h) Flash 15
i) Flash 16
a) Flash 9
b) Flash 10
c) Flash 11
d) Flash 12
e) Flash 13
f) Flash 14
g) Flash 15
h) Flash 16
a) Flash 9
b) Flash 10
c) Flash 11
d) No Flash 12+ support for Linux as of 12/9/2014
These links will all play the standalone engines, but performance results will vary from person to person. Generally we hear better feedback about Flash 9 when running FFR, due to the engine being written in AS2 as opposed to AS3, but this does not necessarily mean that Flash 9 will run better on your computer. You will have to try each out to really decide which works best.
.swf Files
You'll want to find the proper link to the engine you wish to run, as you'll be needing the link to load the engine in the standalone. Right click (or open the page) and copy the link to the engine you want to run.
Official FFR Engines:
R^3 Engine (current main engine -- discussion thread here ... Multiplayer link is the same)
Legacy Engine // Legacy Engine Multiplayer
Velocity Engine // Velocity Engine Multiplayer
R^2 Engine (original Beta engine)
Other Engine Links (Non-official)
Hakulyte's Engine:
Dragonsfury Engine:
This engine (set up by TC_Halogen and psychoangel691) was the engine for a part of the FFR community during the period where FFR was down
Legacy // Velocity // R3 XML
FFRMania Engine:
Created by Tarrik, PrawnSkunk, and foxfire667 this engine hosts entire Stepmania packs! Still a work in progress as far as uploading goes.
Legacy // Velocity // R3 XML
Team Indeed Engines:
These engines (hosted by qqwref and DossarLX ODI) host files specifically for Team Indeed and Dossar's tournaments
Velocity // Dossar's Tournament Legacy // Dossar's Tournament Velocity
Community Engine:
Team Fur Engine:
Team Blaze Engine:
This engine (hosted by Charu & reuben_tate) is the engine for Team Blaze
Legacy // Velocity // R3 XML
Using R3 Engine XML's

Logging in on Standalone
You'll have to follow this process to log in and have scores record on the official FFR engines.
1) Open Internet Explorer (even if you don't typically use it).
2) Go to Internet Options --> Security Options, and uncheck the box that says Enable Protected Mode (example)
3) Check the "Remember Me" box before logging into FFR on IE.
4) Log in.
5) Re-enable Protected mode (same way you turned it off) if you want.
This can all be viewed in this video tutorial made by rushyrulz
Running the Engine
This can be simple for some people, harder for others. It all depends on what security measures you are running, etc.
-To start, open the Flash Standalone Player file that you saved. (example)
-Go to File, then Open
-Paste an engine link from the list of swf links below into the url input box (example)
-Click okay, and the window will open.
*Here is where the process can vary.
ALSO! After you have worked through this and the engine is running, go to File and click Create Projector. This will create an exe file that will automatically do the above steps when you click it. That way, you don't have to repeat this process every time. Save this somewhere you can find it, to play later!
If the standalone is lagging for you, here are a few options you can try:
Hardware Acceleration:
If you are having issues with R^3 on rates, it's likely because of hardware acceleration (and you're welcome to test this for other lag issues as well)
Download and run Gamebooster, to try to eliminate extra processes that might not really need to be running. This works for some, but not for all.
Themes: GIVE THIS A TRY, IT WORKS BETTER THAN YOU'D THINK
Believe it or not, running the Windows 7, Aero, or Vista theme and appearance on your computer can actually make the game lag for some people (myself included). To help reduce that lag, you might consider changing the theme and layout to Windows Classic for the times you play FFR. (right click on desktop, appearance options, etc.)
Windows Performance Changes for XP and Vista:
1.Go to start.
2.Right click computer.
3.Click properties.
4.Then on the bottom left it will say performance click that.
5.Then Click adjust visual effects.
6.Then click the bubble that says best performance.
Windows Performance Changes for Windows 7:
1. Start.
2. Right click computer.
3. Click properties.
4. On the left sidebar, click 'Advanced system settings'.
5. Click the advanced tab.
6. Under 'Performance', click on the 'Settings' button.
7. Click the radio button that says 'Adjust for best performance'.
8. Click 'Ok'.
Data Storage on the Standalone:
V-Ormix suggested Right clicking on the flash player and going into the settings tab to allow Unlimited Storage (you right click in the flash player screen, like if you accidentally right clicked while playing FFR).
You can download CCleaner here to try and remove unnecessary processes that are running on your computer.
Program Priority:
You can go to your computer's Task Manager, click the Processes tab, right click the Flash Player, and set priority to 'Real Time' or the Highest Priority
If there are any questions/complaints/comments, post in the thread and I will try to answer them as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Also, special thanks to these folks for originally helping me perfect the thread and get all the information correct:

The scrumptious Ginger Two-Tone Flat ($119) isn't so by mere coincidence! This rubber-soled Mary-Jane comes from a line of shoes based on cakes and pastries. We like to think of the heel as the cup cake and the blue vamp as the icing (of the cream cheese variety, of course). As delicious as they may appear, we'll refrain from eating our shoe and opt for a pleasant stroll instead!
nice stuff like the color and toe

Landmark blueprint for avoiding climate disruption and securing a profitable, low carbon world issued to UN
- Date
- 10 July 2014
LONDON: A first-of-its-kind report listing practical steps for the biggest polluting countries to take in order to curb dangerous climate change and drive profitable, low carbon development, has been issued to the UN ahead of September's Climate Summit.
Pathways to Deep Decarbonization maps concrete ways 15 of the world's biggest countries – who together are responsible for 70% of global emissions – can better handle energy use to allow economic growth that is aligned with the commonly accepted safe global warming rise limit of 2 degrees Celsius.
Produced for UN Secretary-General Ben Ki-moon ahead of the UN Climate Summit, the report comes from the Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project, which is contributed to by 30 expert organizations including the International Energy Agency and the World Business Council on Sustainable Development. Additional country chapters will be released in the next few weeks, with the complete report published at the Summit in September, and full economic and policy analyses published in spring 2015.
Speaking at the report launch at the UN headquarters, Ban Ki-moon said: "The world needs to see what countries are doing to cut greenhouse gas emissions. By seeing what is possible, others can take inspiration and follow suit. The report we are launching today shows how we can achieve deep decarbonization."
Responding to the 2014 IPCC's report that warned the planet is on a path to a temperature rise of 4 degrees Celcius, this new analysis argues staying safely within a 2C rise is viable, but only if industrialized countries embrace the three clear tracks set out by its authors.
Ban Ki-moon further remarked: "Deep decarbonization is feasible, but it requires global commitment to advancing key low-carbon energy technologies. The Deep Decarbonization Pathway Project emphasizes three key pillars: energy efficiency, low-carbon electricity and fuel switching. I expect countries to adopt different combinations according to their needs, resources and priorities. But all countries need to embark on the same journey."
The three pillars to be used by all 15 countries – Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, the UK, and the USA – as a base for 'deep decarbonization' are summarized as:
- Greatly increased energy efficiency in all energy using sectors.
- Decarbonization of electricity systems by adopting and scaling up renewable energy.
- Reduction of fossil fuel use in transport, heating and industry.
Jeffrey Sachs, director of Columbia University's Earth Institute and the Sustainable Development Solutions Network, which compiled the report, stressed the importance of low carbon energy growth: "The world has committed to limit warming to below 2 degrees C, but it has not committed to the practical ways to achieve that goal. This report is all about the practicalities. Success will be tough – the needed transformation is enormous – but is feasible, and is needed to keep the world safe for us and for future generations. One key message is to invest in developing the low-carbon technologies that can make a difference."
Wide-scale renewable energy acceptance is proven to make strong economic sense, with a separate report from CDP which outlines the low carbon case for business, showing average return on investment for companies' carbon reduction and energy efficiency activities tops an impressive 33%, with payback taking just three years.
International Energy Agency chief economist, Fatih Birol, affirmed how urgently the findings of the unprecedented report should be taken on board: "The issue is to convince the world that the future is as important as the present. Paris 2015 may well be our last hope."
The UN Climate Summit, which is seen as a stepping stone to Paris, takes place during Climate Week NYC 2014. As the collaborative space for all related events in support of the Summit and by providing an international platform for government, business and civil society to work together on low carbon solutions, Climate Week NYC will show the world there are clear opportunities and many benefits in joining the global 'clean revolution'.
Together, the two summits will have the potential to catapult climate change back to the top of the world agenda, mobilizing leaders to act now. Find out how you can be part of it.

The story of how cute fuzzy animals help to sell wine is an old one. People are wise to the power of cute when it comes to selling wine, but that appears to be largely a US phenomenon. What then is the key that will unlock other cultures? What will make the Italians go nuts? Who holds the secret to the passion of the French?
I suppose it's not any surprise, but the answer to how to market wine in Japan lies not with cute animals (though there's no shortage of them in Japanese marketing) but with comic books. Most adults in Japan read manga, a style of comic art related to Anime that comes in thick newsprint books, small pocket books, and is printed in strip form in newspapers around the country. It's not uncommon to see business executives with phone book size graphic novels on the subway. It's not kid's stuff, it's a viable alternative to literature.
Some manga is extremely violent, some is extremely sexual. And some of it is incredibly prosaic. There's so much of it that there's always a quest for new types of heroes and protagonists. It was only a matter of time, then, before someone came up with Joe Satake, Sommelier. Yes, that's right, there's a comic book whose main hero is a wine steward. I love it.
In any case, back in the late Nineties, one of Joe's escapades happened to mention a Calera Pinot Noir and overnight, Calera went from being an unknown Central Coast wine to being THE cult Pinot Noir in Japan. Even now, ten years later, Calera's owner and winemaker Josh Jensen sells more than 20% of his production to Japan, a statistic I find mindboggling. Apparently manga-reading wine lovers line up for hours waiting for a chance to buy a bottle.
The point of all this? I'm not sure entirely, but it certainly proves that there are other creative ways to market wine. Granted, we've got pretty strict laws about how we can advertise liquor in this country -- no one wants to be the alcohol equivalent of Joe Camel -- but there's got to be more we can do than glossy magazines and those silly radio ads.
Wine geeks around the world rejoice: it also proves that wine can be cool.
Mostly though, I just want to read that comic strip.

A complete gathering of hair that is firmly fixed close to the head, so that the hair hangs down is called a ponytail. It can be worn either at the top of the head or at the middle or near the neck. Generally, most girls prefer ponytail at the middle or down. This makes the girl look more attractive and charming. Ponytails are relatively easier and less time consuming to make. The hair length for making a ponytail can be small, medium or long. The hair size may be either thick or thin.
This is one of the most common form of ponytail hairstyles that suits well on all types of clothes. A single ponytail is made from the middle of the head and it can be made very quickly with the help of a rubber band or clip.
For a complete step-by-step video course on hairdressing and hairstyling, Click Here!
This hairstyle is fixed at the middle. It is a step model ponytail. The hair is not even in length and goes on increasing from top to bottom. This form of hairstyle is suitable on both casuals and formals. In this hairstyle, the hair is medium in length. The hair is taken up completely, without any gaps on the forehead.
This is an example of a ponytail hairstyle for girls with short hair. If the hair is short and the volume of hair is thick, then it works out fine. But if the volume of hair is very thin as well as the length of hair is short, then it might not work out well.
This hairstyle is most suitable on casuals. It is mostly preferred by young girls. Two ponytails on either side look good. The hair in this hairstyle is medium length and does not have step cuts. The hair length is same. The hair in the front falls on the forehead.
This is a fashionable hairstyle but worn rarely. This hairstyle is generally preferred by models or some college going girls. This is a side ponytail, which means ponytail is worn either on the right side or the left side. The hair is uneven at the sides.
This is a ponytail hairstyle worn down the head near the neck. In such hairdos, the hair lies evenly on the neck and back rather than hanging out in the air before falling on the back as is the case with top and middle ponytails.
This hairstyle looks cute and is generally worn by infants and small kids. This ponytail is worn on the top of the head. This is more suitable for short length hair and when the hair is not fully developed.
This hairstyle looks like a braided step model ponytail. A single ponytail is worn using three step model. This hairstyle looks more elegant from the back and can be worn on any outfit. This hairstyle is suitable for medium or long hair.
This is you tube video showing easy ponytail hairstyles. A number of ponytail models can be worn as shown in the video.

A 14-year-old girl is learning a hard lesson about how serious airlines take terrorist threats today, Monday, April 14, as her tweet "joking" about a terrorist attacking American Airlines June 1 has launched an apparent FBI investigation.
Yesterday afternoon, teenager Sarah, known as @QueenDemetriax_ on Twitter, sent out a tweet to American Airlines that showed a note allegedly sent by an Ibraham from Afghanistan, who was threatening to "do something really big" on June 1.
Almost as quickly as the tweet went out to American, the company responded to Sarah, stating that they take these types of tweets seriously, and that her IP address and details have been forwarded to the FBI for further investigation.
Judging by the teen's reaction to the company's response, it is quite clear that she was not prepared for how serious the company would take the threat. Sarah apologized profusely to American Airlines via a series of tweets after the threat, claiming she did not mean anything by it, and then tried to explain to the company that she did not write the threat, it was a friend.
The company did not respond to her additional tweets, and Sarah's account has since been deleted. However, American Airlines spokesmen did release a statement on the tweet:
At American, the safety of our passengers and crew is our number one priority," American said in a statement. "We take security matters very seriously and work with authorities on a case by case basis."
The FBI has not commented publicly on the tweet.

Parents have a lot of things to worry about. Every decision they make has an impact on their children's futures. Perhaps that is why there are so many disagreements when it comes to parenting. One of the big debates involves how to discipline effectively. The following list explains how to discipline effectively in order to teach your children how to manage their own behavior.
1.Tell your child what they can do instead of only telling them what not to do. For example, if your child is jumping on the furniture, you can say, "Please sit on the couch." This is sometimes referred to as positive phrasing.
2. Make sure any consequences you deliver are directly related to the behavior. For example, if your child is hitting another child, you might feel inclined to take away their favorite toy. However, that is not directly related to hitting, and will be unlikely to create a lasting lesson for your child. Another option would be to remove your child from the area, which allows safety for the child being hit. Then talk about hitting: validate that they are upset, but let them know that it hurts the other child and hitting is not allowed. Then help them to problem solve other ways to deal with their anger. This discussion will help instill in your child the knowledge that all emotions are allowed, but behaviors still need to be appropriate.
3.Focus on the behavior instead of the child. Never tell them they are bad or being bad. Instead, say that they are making poor choices, and you would like to help them come up with a solution.
4.Always let your child know that you love them no matter what.
5.Connect with your child before you correct the behavior. Remember that all behavior is an expression of internal status. If you find your child is really testing limits, it may be time to find out what need is not being met. It may be that he is tired or she is hungry. It may be that they are having trouble dealing with big emotions or need some quality time with you.
6.Listen when your child talks. Take time to really be with your child.
Keep in mind that children are always watching and always listening even when it doesn't seem like it. Model the behaviors you want your child to express, and soon you will notice that they act a lot like you.
Do you have a discipline question about a specific behavioral issue? Send it to me at email@example.com, and I may feature it in an upcoming article.

Ploughshares and Emerson College invite you to the Ploughshares Reading Series on Thursday, April 7th featuring Colm Tóibín, guest editor of the Spring 2011 issue of Ploughshares. Chris Castellani (Grub Street, author of A Kiss from Maddalena) will conduct a Q&A with Colm Tóibín at 4 p.m. Tóibín will read his own work at 6 p.m. in the Bright Family Screening Room at the Paramount Theatre. Steve Yarbrough (Safe from the Neighbors) will introduce Tóibín's reading.
Tóibín was born in Enniscorthy, Ireland and is the author six novels, and most recently, a collection of short stories entitled The Empty Family and a collection of essays on Henry James called All a Novelist Needs. He has won the Irish PEN Award for Literature, the Dublin IMPAC Prize, and the LA Times Novel of the Year, and many more. Hermione Lee of the Guardian said of his work: "Colm Tóibín is a fine lyricist of yearning, exile and regret. The beautifully measured Brooklyn was a poignant history of leaving and returning home; The Master, his novel about Henry James, was heavy with memories of lost childhood and lost loves that had to be turned into art. The stories in The Empty Family – like the painful stories of family conflicts in his last collection, Mothers and Sons – are threaded through with regret and need."

Infertility & Reproduction Health Center
Using a Surrogate Mother: What You Need to Know
In this article
Using a surrogate mother -- surrogacy -- is still somewhat controversial. But it is one more option people have for having a baby through new reproductive technologies.
What Is a Surrogate?
There are two kinds of surrogate mothers.
Traditional surrogates. Artificial insemination first made surrogacy possible. A traditional surrogate is a woman who is artificially inseminated with the father's sperm. She then carries the baby and delivers it for the parents to raise. A traditional surrogate is the baby's biological mother. That's because it was her egg that was fertilized by the father's sperm. Donor sperm can also be used for a traditional surrogacy.
Gestational surrogates. In vitro fertilization (IVF) now makes it possible to harvest eggs from the mother, fertilize them with sperm from the father, and place the embryo into the uterus of a gestational surrogate. The surrogate then carries the baby until birth. A gestational surrogate has no genetic ties to the child. That's because it wasn't her egg that was used. A gestational surrogate is called the "birth mother." The biological mother, though, is still the woman whose egg was fertilized.
In the U.S., gestational surrogacy is less complex legally. That's because both intended parents have genetic ties to the baby. As a result, gestational surrogacy has become more common than a traditional surrogate. About 750 babies are born each year using gestational surrogacy.
Who Uses Surrogates?
A woman might decide to use a surrogate for several reasons:
- She may have medical problems with her uterus.
- She may have had a hysterectomy that removed her uterus.
- There may be conditions that make pregnancy impossible or medically risky, such as severe heart disease.
Other women choose surrogacy after trying unsuccessfully to get pregnant with a variety of assisted-reproduction techniques (ART), such as IVF.
Surrogates have also made parenthood an option for people who might not be able to adopt a child. Reasons could include:
- Their age
- Their marital status
For instance, when gay men use a traditional surrogate, one of them uses his sperm to fertilize the surrogate's egg through artificial insemination. The surrogate then carries the baby and gives birth. A gay couple might also choose an egg donor, fertilize that donated egg, and have the resulting embryo implanted in a gestational surrogate to carry until birth.
