One of the very first questions asked in many premises liability cases — whether those cases involve structural collapse, fire, water penetration, personal injury, accessibility, or a host of other issues — is, "What does the Building Code say on the matter?". To begin to answer that question, one must first understand just exactly what the Building Code is — and what it is not.
Generally speaking, a building code is a collected set of regulations that define the minimum requirements of a particular type of physical construction of our built environment. That physical construction may be a complete building, or it may be any of a number of building components or appurtenances, such as a parking garage, stairwell, elevator, porch, canopy, ramp, sidewalk or parking lot. The minimum requirement established may be one of clearance, dimension, strength, load-carrying capacity, fire-resistivity, moisture-resistivity, sound-attenuation, thermal performance, etc.
A building code may define prescriptive minimum standards that set forth exactly how something must be dimensioned, constructed, or assembled. Alternatively, a building code may define performance minimum standards that merely set forth the required resultant performance of a particular material, assembly or construction, leaving the particulars of the complying result to the discretion of the architect, engineer, builder, or owner.
Building Codes have a long and colorful history, beginning with the Babylonian Code of Hammurabi of almost 3900 years ago, and extending through to the modern day. After the 1666 Great Fire of London, stricter regulations controlling such features as clear street widths and fire-resistivity of structures were passed for that teeming metropolis. By 1844, The London Building Act had become the first national building code. In the United States, the City of Baltimore, Maryland passed its first building code in 1859. Throughout the subsequent half-century, most of the larger American cities or states passed local, regional or state building codes. The State of Ohio established its first Building Code in 1911.
Some of those building codes dealt only with commercial structures, some only with residential structures, and some with both. Some were established by individual states, some by individual cities or towns, and some by loose federations of towns, villages, and outlying rural areas. Some were also developed by independent or industry groups, to serve as 'model codes' that could then be adopted or endorsed by any interested jurisdiction. Furthermore, building codes were typically regularly updated, often in 3- to 5-year cycles, to incorporate new situations, revised risk assessments, and technological improvements in construction. For example, whereas paint containing lead was once widely used across America, today we may shun paint that merely off-gasses a trace of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Likewise, smoke detectors have become increasingly required in all residential construction, leading to substantial declines in the number of annual fire deaths. As a result, building codes could historically vary widely from year to year, and across different jurisdictions.
In recent decades, there have also been strong pressures for consolidation and unification of building codes. First, any given building code may run to thousands of pages of quite specific regulations. The building code is thus quite logistically burdensome to draft, edit, enact, publish, apply, and enforce. Architects, engineers, builders, owners, and local regulators must devote great time and energy to reading, understanding, and interpreting the building code. Second, the variability of building codes across jurisdictions ill serves the public as well as the entire range of trades involved in construction and related manufacturing. Why is one form of handrail considered safe in one jurisdiction but not in another? Why is one type of structural sheathing accepted for use in one jurisdiction but not in another? Third, case law developed from successive decades of premises liability litigation further exacerbates the variabilities among building codes.
These pressures have led to increasing unification of building codes into what may soon be deemed a truly 'National Building Code' for all of the United States. The Southern Building Code Congress International (SBCCI) was founded in 1940 and began developing and refining the Standard Building Code (SBC) model building code, with widespread use throughout the southeastern portion of the continental US. The Building Officials Code Administrators International (BOCA) likewise developed their own model code, the BOCA National Building Code (NBC), applied throughout the East Coast and parts of the Midwest. Areas of the West Coast and remainder of the Midwest employed the model Uniform Building Code (UBC) developed by the International Conference of Building Officials (ICBO). These three building codes are sometimes referred to as 'legacy codes', as they are no longer in use, but have served as the basis for subsequent codes.
Finally, in 1994 these three primary 'legacy code' drafting agencies joined as the International Code Council (ICC) to develop building codes that could be applied nationally across America, with no regional limitations. By 2000, the ICC's International Building Code (IBC) had been completed; it has since been adopted throughout most of the country.
Yet the International Building Code is still not the entire story. In addition to the 'base' IBC, the ICC has also developed the International Residential Code (for 1- and 2-family dwellings), the International Mechanical Code, the International Plumbing Code, and the International Property Maintenance Code to cover those specific realms (along with many others for ever-more-specific applications). The National Electric Code is also often adopted and enforced by jurisdictions, as are regulations of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Typically, the requirements of ANSI/ICC A117.1 Accessibility for the Handicapped are also adopted and enforced. The particular building code in use may make further reference to independent standards — often scores, if not hundreds — that must be met. These include standards of the American Standards for Testing & Materials, ASTM International; American National Standards Institute (ANSI); NFPA; the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE); the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE); and many others.
In addition to all of these, any particular premises may be further bound by local ordinances and regulations, including pertinent provisions of the zoning code, local building department standards, FHA/HUD standards, the Fair Housing Act, tenant-landlord law, local inspection requirements, local police and fire regulations, and the like.
In any instance of potential premises liability, it therefore becomes paramount that a correct initial determination be made as to what provisions of the building code and related ordinances or standards may in fact be binding upon the incident location, and to what degree. Such a determination is best made with the assistance of a professional competent at reading, understanding and interpreting the many varied — and at times ambiguous or conflicting — provisions of such regulations.

Built as a memorial to Queen Victoria's husband in 1871, the Royal Albert Hall's vast rotunda was once described by the monarch as looking like 'the British constitution'. It has been the venue for the (now BBC) Proms since 1941, despite acoustics that do orchestras few favours. The Royal Albert Hall's splendid exterior is matched by the regal red-and-gold interior which is crowned by a domed stained-glass skylight. Occasional classical concerts are held throughout the year – look out for recitals on the Willis pipe organ. Other key events in its calendar include pop and comedy gigs (including the annual Teenage Cancer Trust shows), and circus extravaganzas from the likes of Cirque du Soleil.
In addition to seasonal tours during the Proms, the RAH has launched daily Secret History Tours, which draw on a rich seam of stories about London's largest hall for hire and offer access to areas not normally open to audiences.

This is a jewel in London's crown. The most stunning place to see a gig if you have a decent seat, or if you are standing for The Proms. I have spent some memorable nights here. The best ever was Frank Sinatra, Liza Minnelli and Sammy Davies Junior. If I had a time machine I would return every night. I also have memories of Les Miserables 10th Anniversary and wild nights in the company of Eric Clapton. Come to think of it there have been too many to list including the most bonkers Blues Set from Robert Plant and his World Orchestra. Sublime - nearly as good as The Last Night of the Proms which is the calendar highlight here.
But .... and it's a big but.
Beware of the balcony seats, rear choir and balcony standing.
Unless you are desperate to be there or really tight , don't bother.
Also, don't bother writing to the management if the sound is bad.
I had one of the worst nights ever here when I saw Paul Weller "Waking up the Nation". The sound was appalling. I wrote to the The Albert Hall and the letter I got back was between arrogant and insulting - hoping I would have a better night next time (or words to that effect)
Well fortunately I have had better nights and encourage all of my friends to go to at least one gig at The RAH. Get a good seat , soak up the views and hopefully the sort of crisp sound they hoped for when the mushrooms were hung from the ceiling.
It was a dark Halloween night last Thursday that I found myself sat at the Albert Hall waiting for the emergence of former Led Zeppelin front-man Robert Plant. The audience were excitable in anticipation, and thankfully there was nothing gloomy about the performance. Rivalling Brain May for the best hair in rock, Plant appeared ready to have a fine time. The wonderfully gifted voice that Plant has possessed since the '60s was in fine form, having matured with age and showcasing rich tones that blended so well with the mix of rock, blues and African rhythms vibrating around the hall to much applause. The appearance of the Gambian musician Juldeh Camara added to the layers of high quality musicianship that the band (which featured musicians from Bristol and Liverpool) had in droves. A friend had told me that he had seen Plant play on tour with Alison Krauss last year and that he looked tired and thought that he may be finding it hard to keep up. I have to say the opposite was true here; it is possible that Plant's decision to not make another album with Krauss after all their success (winning 5 Grammys for their album 'Raising Sand' as well as much acclaim)and instead pursue working on something different to keep music fresh and interesting for him seemed to be paying off. While a lot of his peers look tired and worn with their best days behind them, he looked fitter and stronger than he has in the last few years and he was flying around the stage, throwing the microphone around with ease and prowling around with an unbelievably menacing presence; and who wouldn't feel 10 feet tall with such a remarkable voice? I could have closed my eyes and believed that the man on stage was the Plant of old not a man of pensionable age. He seems to be enjoying the aging process ('I can travel for free now') as well as the music more than ever. 'This is an invigorating time for me'. Quite. The quality of the band was obviously helping to keep him on his toes and he looked to be having the time of his life, and wonderfully, so were we. With the music ranging from old blues classics to Led Zeppelin numbers (which were met with roars of approval), it all blended in together beautifully. 'Whole Lotta Love' , 'What Is and What Should Never Be' and other classics went down a storm and Plant looked like he could continue all night. Despite finishing at 10 minutes past midnight (leaving most struggling to make the last tube home) I think we would have all quite happily stayed all night for a lock in. Greedy yes, but it truly would have been heavenly. Trick or treat? Treat definitely. A really thrilling night out. Rating; 10/10
I agee the AH is not the best for sound although its better than it used to be before the hanging baffles were installed . However nothing in london has the same atmosphere as the Albert Hall it seems to have a buzz all its own with a unique feel of closeness to the action that no concert hall i have been can match. Imho the greatest concert venue in the world dispite any accustic failings.
Great guide for classical concerts, theatre , ballet .

Note: For Yellowstone, Large Allocations are those for more than 200,000 core-hours. Small Allocations are for 200,000 core-hours or less and require only an abstract of the work to be conducted. See the CISL University Allocations page for eligibility requirements and other information.
The next deadline for Large Allocation Requests is March 28, 2016.
We have 87 million core-hours available to allocate this spring. In October 2015, the review panel recommended 52 awards totaling 97.6 million core-hours. The average award was just under 1.9 million core-hours and the largest award was for 6.9 million core-hours.
Requesters must prepare and submit a Request Summary document and attach it to the Large Allocation Request form as a PDF file that is no larger than 5 MB.
The instructions below explain how to prepare the document. When your document is ready, submit your request via the Large Allocation Request form.
The Request Summary document must provide a self-contained description of your project and allocation request. The Request Summary may be no more than five (5) pages for Sections A–D below; Sections E–G should be included in the same uploaded document and are permitted an additional five (5) pages. The five-page limit is mandatory for all requests, and it is strongly recommended that you follow the template below to help the panel locate required information within your request.
The CHAP Allocation Review Criteria provide further detail on considerations the review panel uses in identifying meritorious requests. Recent successful requests are available at: Proposal Sample 1 and Proposal Sample 2.
A. Project Information
B. Overview of Project
The overview of the project should typically be less than half a page and include:
C. Science Objectives
The science objectives should be briefly described. This section should give sufficient information for understanding the computational plan in section D; it is not necessary to justify the science objectives as they must have already passed NSF review.
Advice for preparing your request. "Brief" is the operative word for your science description. The panel is not judging your science, only trying to understand how and if your computational experiments (described in Section D) will help you find answers to your science questions. This section should be between 1/2 and 1 page long.
D. Computational Experiments and Resource Requirements
The bulk of the Request Summary should focus on Section D. Discuss your planned computational experiments and the resources needed to conduct the work in this section. Please cover the following topics; advice for how to best address each topic is included.
Provide a table summarizing the resources required for each experimental configuration and the complete set of computational experiments. This must include the number of core-hours needed andthe terabytes of data destined for HPSS if such storage is required. The table should be accompanied by a narrative that elaborates on how you arrived at the numbers in the table and describes any needs for project disk space or data analysis and visualization resources as detailed below.
With the Yellowstone system's ability to generate vast amounts of data, CISL allocation requests now require users to consider their data workflows and to justify their long-term storage resource use. Requesters should note that the CHAP Allocation Review Criteria also apply to requests for allocated storage resources—that is, HPSS archive use and GLADE project spaces. The CHAP reviewers do not expect lengthy justifications; in most cases, a paragraph that demonstrates forethought commensurate with the scale of anticipated need will suffice. As requests approach a petabyte (or more!), longer justifications become appropriate. In addressing the criteria with respect to storage resources, justify the project's need to retain the data to be stored, the project's rationale for which data will be stored, and the project's work plan for minimizing temporary data migration from disk to tape. While some statement of storage resource needs is expected in Section D, you may choose to provide details in Section E (Data Management Plan) to keep sections A-D within the five-page limit. Please note that temporary data that never move beyond scratch disk space need not be justified in the project's allocation request.
1. HPC. The table should give the core-hours per simulated year or appropriate time period and the total core-hours needed for each experimental configuration as well as the total core-hours for the request. Describe how you arrived at the number of core-hours for each proposed computational experiment. If not provided elsewhere, details on how HPC resource requirements are estimated MUST be included to help reviewers evaluate whether the resources sought are justified and will be used efficiently.
Calculating or estimating Yellowstone core-hours. Yellowstone allocations will be made in "core-hours" rather than GAUs. Eventually, performing benchmark runs on Yellowstone, or using published timings from runs on Yellowstone, will become the preferred methods for estimating resource needs. For estimating Yellowstone core-hours based on earlier Bluefire runs, users can assume that 1 GAU is equivalent to 0.47 core-hours on Yellowstone. That is, GAUs x 0.47 = Yellowstone core-hours. Users with benchmark runs from other systems should contact email@example.com to determine a proper conversion to Yellowstone. The core-hours for a job are calculated from the number of processor cores used multiplied by the wallclock duration in hours. Because Yellowstone jobs have exclusive use of the batch nodes, core-hour calculations should assume the number of cores will always be a multiple of 16; requests should also assume all jobs will run in the regular queue.
2. HPSS archive. If your data storage in CISL's HPSS archive during the life of this project will be less than 20 TB, stating "<20 TB" is sufficient and no detailed justification is required. Otherwise, in the table showing core-hours include a column for the terabytes of HPSS space required for each experimental configuration and include the total terabytes stored. Projects with larger anticipated archival storage needs must include a description of how the estimate was calculated. If this request is a continuation of a previous request on the same project, please include a separate entry in the table for current data stored in HPSS.
Justifying HPSS requests. A successful justification for HPSS archive space would describe, for example, that the data have a meaningful purpose beyond initial post-processing steps; that variables or time steps not needed for planned analyses will be filtered out; and that HPC and analysis stages are interleaved where practical to minimize the need for temporary data to occupy tape. From the review criteria, it should be clear that a simple summation of all bytes generated by all proposed HPC runs may set an upper limit on HPSS needs but will not automatically constitute a sufficient justification in and of itself. Where appropriate, the justification should also describe how the project will reduce HPSS holdings in subsequent years (for example, a project may have a larger need during peak activity that will be reduced in out-years). As with computational justifications, the detail for storage justifications should grow commensurately with the project's anticipated need.
3. Project file space. Large University projects can request dedicated long-term, large-scale disk space on the GLADE resource. The justification for GLADE project space should describe how the requested size was determined, how other available resources (such as /glade/scratch, /glade/p/work, and HPSS) will be used to minimize the size of the project space needed, why other storage options are not well suited for all of the project's needs, and how the requested project space will benefit or accelerate the project. Project file spaces must be for needs greater than 5 TB. Again, projects do not need to request or justify access to scratch or work file spaces, which are available to all users.
Justifying project space requests. A successful justification for GLADE project space must demonstrate your understanding of the unique capability offered by project spaces and show that the project will also make efficient use of scratch space and work spaces when possible. As with HPSS requests, a simple summation of all bytes generated by all proposed HPC runs may set an upper limit on overall disk use but almost certainly will not constitute a sufficient justification for dedicated project space. A description of how a project will adapt its workflow to leverage project space (along with scratch and work space) and improve its overall efficiency will strengthen the justification. Where applicable, the justification may also describe how a project space allocation will permit a project to substantially reduce its use of HPSS. As with computational justifications, the detail for storage justifications should grow commensurately with the project's anticipated need.
4. Data analysis and visualization. Describe any planned need for CISL's Geyser and Caldera clusters to analyze or visualize your results. For standard interactive access to these clusters, the number of users expected to use the DAV clusters will serve as sufficient justification for up to 5,000 core-hours per user. Projects with more extensive plans for use of the clusters (for example, long-duration, multi-node batch runs) must justify their needs in a manner similar to their HPC requests.
Multi-Year Plan. While the CHAP makes an effort to award each project its full resource need, very large requests should consider providing a breakdown showing the projected use of core-hours and, if applicable, terabytes to be stored in HPSS during each year of the allocation. Tie this to the planned computational experiments completed or partially completed each year.
Special Requirements. Please specify any resource requirements that fall outside of the default environment limits, such as the need for longer job runtime limits, that may affect your ability to complete the proposed computational experiments.
Sections E through G together must be no more than an additional five pages.
E. Data Management Plan. Consistent with NSF's new requirement that all proposals include a Data Management Plan, summarize your plan for managing the data resulting from this computational work. This section can be used to provide additional details or justification for the storage resource needs, to describe plans for sharing the project's data, and to summarize any anticipated long-term storage needs beyond the lifetime of the supporting NSF award. A well-justified data management plan is critical because of the size of Yellowstone and the potential for large-scale Yellowstone projects to produce extensive data output.
F. Accomplishment Report. The Accomplishment Report should encompass computations performed using CISL resources by the PI or Project Lead. Clearly distinguish accomplishments on this CISL project (i.e., for prior CISL use associated with the same NSF award) and accomplishments from all past use of CISL resources. Related work performed on CISL resources by other members of a larger research group may be described, if relevant to this request. Briefly describe the calculations and scientific accomplishments that were completed. Include publications submitted or published that resulted from use of CISL resources. List graduate students who used these computational resources and indicate if these resources supported their thesis or dissertation research. If so, please include the thesis or dissertation title(s).
G. References. Please limit to those directly related to the proposed project and referenced in your Request Summary document.
H. Figures and captions. Optional. Figures may be embedded within the main body of the Request Summary; embedded figures count against the five-page limit. Figures and charts at the end of the Request Summary will not count against the five-page limit.

Data item: Bachelor's degree or higher, percent of persons age 25+, 2009-2013
Source: U. S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey, 5-Year Estimates. Updated every year. http://factfinder2.census.gov
High School Graduates include people whose highest degree was a high school diploma or its equivalent, people who attended college but did not receive a degree, and people who received an associate�s, bachelor�s, master�s, or professional or doctorate degree. People who reported completing the 12th grade but not receiving a diploma are not included.
Persons with a Bachelor's Degree or Higher are those who have received a bachelor's degree from a college or university, or a master's, professional, or doctorate degree.
These data include only persons 25 years old and over. The percentages are obtained by dividing the counts of graduates by the total number of persons 25 years old and over.
Scope and Methodology:
These data are collected in the American Community Survey (ACS). The data for each geographic area are presented together with margins of error at factfinder2.census.gov. The data are period estimates, that is, they represent the characteristics of the population over a specific 60-month data collection period.
Margins of Error (MOE). ACS estimates are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a MOE. The MOE used with ACS estimates can be interpreted as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate plus the MOE and the estimate minus the MOE (the upper and lower confidence bounds) contains the
For example, suppose the 5-year ACS reported the percentage of people 25 years and older in Birmingham, Alabama who had a bachelor's degree was 21.3 percent and that the MOE associated with this estimate is plus or minus (+/-) 0.9 percent. By adding and subtracting the MOE from the estimate, we can calculate the 90-percent confidence interval for this estimate at 21.3%, +/-0.9%:
21.3% - 0.9% = 20.4% = Lower-bound estimate
21.3% + 0.9% = 22.2% = Upper-bound estimate
Therefore, we can be 90 percent confident that the percent of the population in Birmingham, Alabama of age 25 years and older having a bachelor's degree in 2007-2011 falls somewhere between 20.4 percent and 22.2 percent.

By my mother Janet McCullough:
It is normal to experience negative thoughts with their accompanying feelings, but when they become excessive, persistent and worrisome, they can indeed become overwhelming and frightening, producing a state of escalating anxiety.
Children with their imaginative minds need to have a safe avenue to vent their thoughts and feelings so they don't become exaggerated and distorted.
It is the desire of the author's heart that this book may assist in helping to provide a format for parents to open up a conversation of free expression with their children so that "pesky thoughts" and "stinger feelings" will not control their lives.

Anthony Braxton: For John Cage
For John Cage
Anthony Braxton (alto sax)
For Alto (Delmark DE-420)
Anthony Braxton (alto sax).
Recorded: Chicago, IL; Autumn 1968
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
In the late '60s, Braxton aspired to create a solo language for saxophone akin to that of the piano. His controversial 1968 recordings (released on the unprecedented double album For Alto) document the effort; "For John Cage" testifies to its success. At first pass it may sound chaotic, but there is an internal logic to the self-contained system of the piece. Braxton sets a benchmark of intensity at the outset—the ferocity of attack is immediately striking—then deviates from it dramatically, generating structural tension. He manipulates basic musical elements to develop a vocabulary all his own—distorted sounds, jagged rhythmic shapes, an elastic sense of time—and the result is a triumph of creativity.

Easily grown as a garden tree, it produces crisp, juicy apples. Plant in a hot, sunny site, ideally on a gentle, south-facing slope. The ultimate size and vigour depends on which rootstock it has been grafted. Thin out the young crop so that the remaining apples reach a good size and are of good quality. They should be approximately 10-15cm apart. Store the apples in a well-ventilated, frost-free place with a cold, stable temperature. Wrapping each apple in tissue helps prevent shrivelling.

Five years in the life of the Alexander Kasser Theater on the campus of Montclair State University in New Jersey.
I have been a commercial and editorial photographer since 1979. During that time I have always worked on personal projects that focus on the people that we normally walk right by on our daily rounds. Real people in real places doing what they do. I try to make order out of chaos by exposing the moment that defines the physical manifestation of the people and places that I most relate to on an emotional level.

Schedule for operations with Progress-M freighters:
Progress-M22: Launch on 16.03.94, docking with Mir on 18.03.- 94. This freighter does not carry a VBK (ballistic return capsule). Progress-M21: Separation from Mir on 17.03.94 if Progress-M22 is in the right orbit and functioning normally. Progress-M21 has no VBK on board. Progress-M23: Launch on 18.03.94, docking to Mir at 20.04.94. This freighter carries a VBK. Progress-M22: Separation from Mir on 19.05.94 if all is going well with Progress-M23. A schedule for the freighters after Progress-23 has been published, but data might be subject to changes. The transport ship Soyuz-TM19, had to be launched on 24.06.94, but this launch has been put forward to 20.06.94, docking to Mir on 22.06.94. The first crew consisted of Malenchenko, Musabayev and Strekalov. Strekalov had to return with the relieved Afanasyev and Usachov after 12 days. Possibly Strekalov will fly with Soyuz-TM21 together with Dezhurov and an American cosmonaut on 01.03.95.
American 'cosmonauts': 2 American astronauts had to arrive in Starcity near Moscow on one of these days to begin with their training for a flight as 'cosmonaut'. Due to technical reasons their departure has been postponed for 1 or 2 weeks.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
Radio traffic during the days before the launch of Discovery and before the rendezvous: A lot of traffic was related to the preparations of the rendezvous. For the Mir-crew this meant a lot of work to install TV- and Photo camera's and training in communication procedures. Conversations about these subjects could be monitored during communication sessions via Altair. Also via Altair the Mir-crew regularly spoke with cosmonaut Titov on K.S.C. where he was waiting for the launch.
After the rendezvous: Unfortunately the passes of Mir and Discovery for our position occurred during the night hours and the cosmonauts stuck to their normal day- and night routine. This made it impossible for us to monitor direct radio traffic between Mir and Discovery being not far from each other for a long time. During all possible windows for visual observations dense clouds made these observations impossible.
Mir-routine now: Now the Russians are again among themselves. This will not often be the case in 1995 and 1996. (To be continued in the next MirNEWS).

The Hubble Space Telescope was released back into orbit at 06:41 GMT on February 19. Discovery landed on Runway 15 at Kennedy Space Center at 08:32 GMT on February 21.

Carrots turnipskale swedes ect. Nuts- Just a note…peanuts are not a nut . Paleo Meatballs Baked almonds pistacios Macadamia pecans.
Paleo meatloaf is made pretty much like regular meatloaf with a couple of ingredient substitutions. Meatloaf is one of those foods that almost everybody loves (unless you're a vegetarianin which case there are even recipes for that). Meatloaf is also just as good the second time around as leftovers. The only differences in this recipe is the beef should be organic and grass fed. More and more stores now are beginning to carry organic foods including beef. Another necessary ingredient for a good meat loaf are bread crumbs but of course bread(or its' crumbs) are not allowed in a paleo diet so we must come up with a substitute if this is to be an authentic paleo meatloaf. For this you could take some oatmeal and grind it in a food processor until it mimics the consistency of bread crumbs.
Those who have tried out this diet have shown a significant reduction in symptoms related to diabetes. There are Paleo Diet variations that have incorporated principles from other diet plans. A good example is the Low-Carb Paleo Diet which merges Paleo and Atkins. Unlike in pure Paleo this diet strongly advises dieters to count their carbs and calories.
He'd have had to either have killed the animal providing the milk or Paleo Meatballs Baked he'd have to have caught and cared for it like the modern day cow. My recommendation here would be to avoid milk where possible and eat foods such as butter and ice-cream sparingly. Butter interestingly enough can be used to lower the GI of food that inherently has a high GI.
This is what the Caveman Diet seeks to achieve in its quest to mirror the dietary practices of those who lived in this prehistoric era about 2.6 million years ago. Where exercise is concerned interval training that includes short and powerful bursts of activity is the recommended simple paleo turkey meatball homemade meatball recipe workout for the Caveman Diet since it imitates the kind of paleo meatball recipe action one would get while hunting for food. Those who tried the Paleo Diet swear it's not easy but that it works.
If that is not possible choose the leanest cuts of meat to fill your appetite. The best part of the Paleo diet is that it will eventually slow your digestive process. You will feel fuller for longer periods of time.
We can't consume enough of the theifs to supply all of our need for aminoacids. Too much fresh fruit isn't good for individuals Vonderplanitz says "When humankind eat a lot involving fruit that they incur health everyday paleo meatballs simple meatball recipes conditions such as weak bones tooth destruction anxiety dryness diabetes add hyperactivity about emotionality and temperature sensitivity. More than a little uncooked high carbo fruit in excess of alkalinizes the intestines.
The USDA recommends at least five servings of fruit daily. Research indicates that there are progressively more individuals who becomes fat because of the way of life and how they will eat this also 's the reason for your formulation of the Paleo diet. It's diet that requires nutrition in the what you eat so as enhance a healthier lifestyle. It depends upon food which includes nutrients that will avoid specific diseases. In the book 'The Natural stone Age Diet' he argued that lots easy paleo best paleo meatballs meatballs of diseases that people are afflicted by nowadays like autoimmune illnesses osteoporosis as well as cardiovascular complaints are tracked on the food that paleo diet meatball recipe people eat. Through the particular paleolithic age there was deficiencies in healthcare advances and individuals of the age group did not have got such disorders.Tags: Paleo Meatballs, Paleo Meatballs Baked

Classic, classic folding camera made in Germany by Kodak AG at the former Nagel Camerawerk factory (from whence came most of Kodak's best cameras IMO). The long-lived Kodak Retina was distinctive for poplularizing the 35mm format: along with the original Retina (1934), Kodak released the revolutionary pre-loaded 35mm light-tight cassette that we take for granted now. Before that, photographers were expected to roll their own.
The venerable Retina came in so many flavors over its life that you could have a hobby collecting only Retinas (and some do!). For myself, I was simply looking for a small high-quality 35mm folder, and had been shopping for a Voightlander Vito II for a long time, but got frustrated waiting for a Compur-Rapid version (Prontor shutters ain't the best) with an accessory shoe for my accessory rangefinder for a decent price. So I switched gears and got a sweet little Retina Ia instead.
To be sure, if you want real in-depth information on Retinas I suggest you follow the Links below, I only know what I know if you know what I mean. I can tell you that there are viewfinder-equipped Retinas and rangefinder-equipped Retinas, Retinas with Xenar, Xenon, and Ektar lenses, Compur-Rapid Retinas, Synchro-Compur Retinas, and Retinas with cream cheese on top. Not sure about that last one, but you get the picture. And I'm not even talking about Retinettes and Retina Reflexes!
Retinas are typed unspecifically as type I, Ia, II, IIa, etc., but specifically broken down into types to distinguish the distinctive model variations (types 011, 113, etc etc). This model is a Ia, aka type 015, and hails from the period 1951-54. It was the first with a rapid wind lever and has a host of other little features that were innovative at the time and seem to have shaped the design of many cameras that followed. It really is a sweet little camera, it's got that tight german feel of precision and balance that you have to experience in person. A new favorite!
Lens was slightly hazy, cleaned up with Windex, including unscrewing the front element and getting to the other element through the shutter on 'B'. Cloudy viewfinder, I had to remove the wind lever and knob, both require a point spanner. Two screws on the side, and boy were they all on tight! Careful not to mess up the screw slots, use a same-size screwdriver. Yikes. Under the cap the viewfinder glass is actually covered with a cover that requires another screw be removed. And good thing I had this helpful page to refer to when reassembling the tricky wind lever/counter mechanism!
Tips & Tricks
It does have some quirks, I'll hit the highlights here -- nothing too hard to figure out if you've used any compact folders before. Button on top to release the lens cover, to close it you set to infinity (important) and push the two locking buttons on either side of the lens mount that run in the track. Back release catch is on the side, film release clutch button is on the bottom as on a modern camera. Rapid wind lever on this model is large and comfortable and springs back with gusto (or 'flies back' as the manual says). Rewind knob lifts up and turns, and has a film reminder wheel. X-M switch for instant/flash or bulb. Top-mounted shutter release (smooth!), none of this reach-around stuff... and even though it's zone focus there's a nice knurled tab on the lens mount to make focusing more comfortable (also smooth!). The only non-intuitive feature is the auto-frame counter, which counts backwards (!) and then locks the shutter release when it hits the last frame. Reset in the direction of the arrow (clockwise on this model) to 3 frames past the amount of exposures on your film cassette (designated by diamonds in the counter, but they don't make 20-exp rolls any more), cock and fire three times and you're good to go.
You may want to pick up an auxiliary rangefinder as a focus aid, just slip it into the accessory shoe and you're set.

Among the most common types of nerve entrapment is Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) causing pain and weakness in the neck, shoulder, arm and hand.
Although all physicians understand the role of the spine problems in causing shoulder and arm pain, there is a great deal of controversy and confusion regarding the diagnosis of thoracic outlet syndrome. Nerve entrapment of the median nerve in the wrist at the carpal tunnel can affect the thumb and next two fingers - carpal tunnel syndrome. Entrapment of the ulnar nerve at the elbow is cubital tunnel syndrome. However between the spine and the elbow there are many nerves, crossing a long course when these nerves become entrapped or injured, the diagnosis may be TOS.
Thoracic outlet syndrome can affect the blood vessels, or the nerves or both. In the past, it has been easy to diagnose TOS affecting thed blood vessels - causing loss of blood flow when the arms are raised. However, diagnostic proof of TOS affecting the nerves has been considered unsatisfactory or very difficult to achieve. Now, the advent of MR Neurography and Open MR guided injections has revolutionized diagnosis and treatment in this field. With these techniques, Dr. Filler at the Institute for Nerve Medicine has shown that TOS can be divided into as many as six different types of nerve entrapment. Each of these can be reliably and confidently identified and new, minimally invasive treatments are now avaiable for each of these.
In the past, the only surgery widely offered for the treatment of TOS was resection of the first rib. This is a very invasive and difficult operation with an extended recovery period and a very significant risk of major injury to blood vessels, nerves or lung during the operation. Dr. Filler has shown that if the inidividual type of TOS affecting a patient is known in advance, then it is usually possible to plan a small, safe minimally invasive surgery to correct the problem - usually on an outpatient basis.
There are many diagnoses and treatments of thoracic outlet syndrome. Please click on any of the links below to learn more about individualized cases from the files of Dr. Filler.

Motorola WX415 headed to Boost Mobile. Motorola Finch W418g also shows up
First seen in May alongside the Ferrari-branded i897, the Motorola WX415 has showed up again, this time at the FCC, where it appears with Boost Mobile's logo etched just below the internal display.
And yes, this does mean the WX415 will be launched by Boost, although we couldn't possibly say when.
The WX415 doesn't run Android (like Verizon's Moto WX445) and it's not even a smartphone. It's a clamshell with external music control keys, Bluetooth, and a photo camera.
Another unannounced clamshell is the Motorola Finch W418g, a low-end device with a 1.8 inch internal screen, GSM/GPRS connectivity, 3.5mm headset jack, Bluetooth, music player, MicroSD card support, and a 2MP camera.
Bluetooth SIG says the Motorola Finch W418g will be affordable (naturally). No word on when or where it will be released.

Christian Bale Visits Shooting Victims at Colorado Hospital (PHOTO)
Christian Bale visited victims of last week's Colorado theater shooting at an area hospital on Tuesday.
The Dark Knight Rises star reportedly arrived at the Medical Center of Aurora at 2:00 p.m.
Bale's visit was not announced ahead of time.
Warner Bros., the studio behind The Dark Knight Rises, released a statement noting, "Mr. Bale is there as himself, not representing Warner Brothers."
One of the victims, Carey Rottman, posted a photo of himself with Bale on Facebook (above).
Last Friday, James Holmes killed 12 people and wounded dozens more when he opened fire on a packed midnight showing of the latest Batman film.
On Saturday, Bale commented on the tragedy, saying, "Words cannot express the horror that I feel."
Gossip Cop will have updates about his hospital visit.

Does air affect a magnetic field's ability to attract ferromagnets? If a magnetic field and a ferromagnet were placed in a vacuum would there be a better performance?
Oxygen in air is a triplet diradical, ↑O-O↑, a a paramagnet. Its slightly greater magnetic permeability than vacuum would slightly concentrate the field. Compare magnetic susceptibilties,
Nitrogen (1 atm) $-0.5\times 10^{-8}$
The configuration of a static magnetic field coming from a source object like a bar magnet is determined by the constitutive relations of the surrounding material, and in particular the magnetic permeability determines how the field lines act.
In the first case, you have a field emanating from a magnet, traveling through air ($\mu_r=1.000000349)$, and entering a ferrous material ($\mu_r\approx4000$).
In the second case, you have a field emanating from a magnet, traveling through vacuum ($\mu_r=1)$, and entering a ferrous material ($\mu_r\approx4000$).
The two situations are nearly identical, so there will be no change in performance.

"Bachelorette" star Emily Maynard may not have found long-lasting love on the show, but she still watches the show that has been such a big part of her life. She found love with Brad Womack on an earlier season, but ended up coming back to the show to find love herself as "The Bachelorette." But she does seem to have her favourites this season, including Nick Viall. According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on June 25, "Bachelorette" star Emily Maynard is now defending Nick's actions.
It sounds like Emily actually thinks that Nick had no idea what he was getting himself into when he signed on to the show. He may have seen a picture of Andi Dorfman, but he may not have known anything about the rules of the show and the struggle to date a woman that other men were also dating at the same time. Of course, Nick has already said some bad things, which has rattled the other guys, but Andi likes him for him.
"I feel like you can always tell which guys have watched the show and which haven't, and maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think Nick knew what he was getting himself into," Emily explains. "Anyone who has ever seen the show knows that you should never go back to the house and brag about your date because it's just an open invitation for all the other guys to throw you under the bus!"
Andi seems completely head-over-heels for Nick, so maybe she enjoys the fact that he is confident in who he is. In a preview for the next episode, he reveals that he thinks that the other men should just leave, because he feels that he is already connecting with Andi. He thinks that the other guys are just wasting their time. But is Nick truly ready for a proposal, a wedding and a future with Andi? Or is he just enjoying the butterflies and air time?
What do you think of Nick? Do you think Emily is right on with Nick about him not watching the show before he started filming? Would you go on a show you hadn't seen before?

I have been trying to find the sum $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}(-1)^{(n+1)}\frac{2n+1}{3^n} $. After some calculation, I got here: $\frac{-6}{8}+\frac{1}{4}+8\sum\frac{k}{9^k}$. I know the result is $\frac{5}{8}$ , and I verified it with Wolfram Alpha.I saw that $\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{k}{9^k}=\frac{9}{64}$. But I don't know how to prove the last equation: $\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{k}{9^k}=\frac{9}{64}$. I hope someone could help me or show me another method to find the sum for my initial series.

You might be interested in the polylogarithm which is namely:
$$\operatorname{Li}_s(z) = \sum_{k=1}^\infty {z^k \over k^s}.$$
You are looking for the special case $s=-1$, $z=\frac{1}{9}$.
As illustrated here and this is probably what Prometheus wanted to point you at, you can find the value by derivation.

In the ten years I have owned my horse, I have boarded him at nine barns. That may equal about one a year, but some I was at for several years, others a week or two. Some I boarded at more than once. Most of the reasons I had for leaving had to do with too much barn drama. If you're a horse owner who boards, and you spend any amount of time at the barn with your horse (as opposed to retired horses who pretty much are just living out their lives being cared for by the barn), then chances are you have encountered barn drama in one form or another.
The very first place I boarded, I was a new horse owner but truly passionate and eager to learn. I was naive of course and knew nothing about barn drama (which is akin to office drama except it often includes the horses, other times it doesn't). I was just trying to be friends with everyone (which I have since learned can be a big mistake) and learn all I could about horse ownership. I found out the hard way that being a "newbie" horse owner is frowned upon by those who have had horses for many years (even if they never learned a thing about horses). After about a year at the first place I had learned enough to know it was time to move on.
I moved to what was, at the time, a "small" barn. It had been owned by a single family (a rich family) who had put a ton of money into the place, which was simply for the use of their daughter and her friends. It was now owned by a millionaire race horse owner who wanted it for his mares. I was his first ever boarder. Great. No barn drama, right? Wrong! The owner himself was drama enough. Since the place was new, he and his daughter (who did not even live there) made constant changes. Other boarders came and went. Eventually, they wanted to make money on it so they raised everything and made it a full board facility (when I had moved there, it was an extremely inexpensive rough board situation, and was actually very pleasant). Eventually, almost everyone left, including me (I had been there for over 4 years, leaving once for 2 weeks but coming back because the place where I went had owners who were less than pleasant and did whatever they wanted with my horse's care, not what I asked them to do).
I found a new place right up the street (I try to keep my horse close to home, as I like to see him every day, and I enjoy taking care of him mostly myself). This was a big barn, but the price was good and I had the opportunity to work off my board. I had learned a lot by this time and had changed quite a bit myself. I can say I honestly never had a major complaint about this place. The owner was a very nice person who did not allow barn drama. If anyone had a complaint, they went to her and it was talked out privately. A bit over a year later, they raised the board so high I could not afford to stay.
I moved with a friend back to the first place we had both boarded (and where we met, our horses as well as us had become close, so we stuck together for the most part). The person who had produced the most drama for me had left, and the place now offered rough board. We were there about a year when a bad winter hit and my friend's horse broke a leg in the paddock and had to be put down. With her gone, my horse losing shoes all the time due to the huge property, and with the strict barn rules, I sought out a new place.
I went to a private barn whose owner I had met a few year's prior when another friend was looking for board for her new horse. The place was perfect for my horse's needs. As an elder horse now, he had insulin resistance and needed strict control of grass and diet as well as exercise. The stall he moved into was an old foaling stall, and very big. Lots of room for a horse to move, which he needs. Perfect! It also had a double dutch door to his own private paddock. Perfect! I could control his grass intake, they had a perfect sand arena. The property was everything my horse needed, it was rough board and affordable. Perfect right? As I have long learned, people are all so different that finding someone you will get along with in every way, including caring for your horse, can be rough (especially if, like me, you need most of the control in your horse's life and care). Suffice it to say, I was there about a year. I knew before anything happened that I was going to be asked to leave. The change of things in recent months had caused a huge rift. I learned then that barn drama was not only prevalent in large barns but small ones too... usually, however, between the owner and boarder.
I contacted a friend and moved to her barn. However, due to my horse's special needs (Cushings and insulin resistance) she did not feel she could care for him as well as he needed. This was her private home and she had to keep strict policies for insurance purposes.
Since I am very involved in my horse's care (not only because of his special needs but because of my deep bond and love for him), I needed to find a place that was relaxed and would allow me to make the "rules" for my horse's care. After all, I reasoned, I am paying them to care properly for my horse, to keep him safe, to follow the guidelines for his care that I had spent YEARS researching and getting just right.
I guess having a horse with "special needs," a horse I am bonded to deeply, and love with every ounce of my being, a horse that literally saved my life, has made me a bit different than other boarders. I have done tons of work to get his diet and regime under control. I only needed a barn that would follow that as closely as possible.
My friend helped me tremendously. Since she had felt she could not give my special needs horse the best possible care, she sent me a long list of places to try. On that list was a name I recognized. I had met this person at horse shows (I had in the meantime become a show photographer). I fell in love with her horse and had talked to her at every show. I called immediately. Within a week, my horse was moved to her place (which was back to the town I preferred to board in, and had boarded in at 3 different places). And, almost a year later, we are still there. And still happy.
I have resolved that no place will be perfect unless I own it myself (a dream for one day, I hope). My horse doesn't have the huge stall or run-out at night, so in winter and bad weather he is in at night (which is tough with his Cushings and bursitis, as he needs to move a lot). However, in the summer when the weather is nice he is outside almost 24/7, which is ideal for any horse. It is the most reasonably priced place I have ever been to, full board (though I choose to do most everything myself so I can stay close to my horse). I have never been to a place with so little barn drama (actually, there's really none).
A few people I have boarded with at other places are also at this barn (which is considered a "small" barn, but is leased rather than owned and the most relaxed, reasonable rules I have ever come across). The lady who runs place is super reasonable, nice and respectful. She "lets" me take care of my horse MY way, clean my own stall on days I can and she does it on days I can't. There is NO place better, I am convinced of this!
I no longer worry about my horse if I can't be there. She follows my "rules" and my horse is VERY happy. Nothing and no place will be perfect, but this place is close. I have no plans to leave... unless I get my OWN place, or if my close friend (whose horse passed so many years ago) gets a place close enough for me to be there daily.
No barn drama, having people to talk to, being useful (in my case as I love helping) and most of all not worrying about my horse when I cannot be there, is very important. This kind of place is almost unheard of and it's all about the caretaker!

The week was coming to an end that Friday night, Oct. 12, 1962, when the weather bureau issued a storm warning for our area.
Two of my sisters had the weekend off. My older sister was headed home on the Estacada bus to celebrate her birthday with our parents. Well, I thought, at least she will be safe on the bus. If the storm got really serious, my younger sister would be called in to work at the telephone company to handle emergency calls. It brought home to me that I was going to be alone.
The sky had a strange color to it. I was getting a little anxious about what lay ahead for me as I looked out the window to see the debris whirling past. I was working in a beauty shop just off Broadway in downtown Portland. I, like a lot of other Oregonians, had never seen a really severe storm, and I watched the people. I had a sense that some of them were going about their business as usual.
My appointment book was full for the night, but I wasn't sure any of my appointments would show up. Most of my clientele were people in the entertainment business, and they counted on me being there for them.
The wind gusts were strong and the trees were leaning quite badly in the park blocks. Limbs began to cover the streets and the stoplights were swinging out of control on their thin lines. People huddled in the doorways, clutching their parcels, with little conversation spoken between them. Others were rushing to catch buses and dodging traffic, going against the lights.
My six o'clock appointment arrived. I washed her hair as we listened to the wind howl and noises on the street. I told her I wasn't comfortable putting her under the hair dryer. I expected the electricity to go off at any time.
As I set her hair, my next appointment arrived, bracing herself against the forces of the wind. She said she didn't think of any of us should be there and that she wasn't going to have her hair done. The three of us discussed our situation, and we decided my first client should go home with the hair rollers in her hair. My second client and I would attempt to make it to the office building where she worked. I knew it would be deadly for me to try and walk home the 10 blocks through the Park Blocks.
I closed the shop and noticed other shop owners doing the same. The restaurants had turned down their lighting to discourage patrons from coming in. My client and I didn't gain any distance walking, and we struggled against the wind, so we took side streets and became fearful for our lives.
After a long while, we made it to her office on the 10th floor of the Medical Building. We watched the street activity far below us throughout the night. The emergency vehicles and sirens never ceased. The electricity went off and on. We had no dinner nor sleep that night, but we were safe.
The following day, I learned through telephone channels that my older sister had been stranded on the bus and my younger sister was pulling a 24-hour shift. My parents' home was heavily damaged when one of their towering oak trees uprooted and crashed down on the house. The front porch, dining room and an upstairs bedroom were damaged.
I'm thankful that this area doesn't have storms like that very often, and that my family was all safe.

Mickey Moose, anyone? You might see just that in 2010 because Disney Cruise Line is investigating the possibility of cruising Alaska.
Disney Cruise Line has applied for a 10-year permit (valid from 2010 to 2019) to visit Glacier Bay, one of the most popular destinations for scenic cruising on Alaska itineraries. Current regulations restrict the number of vessels that can visit this national park, as well as the number of days lines can have ships there throughout the season. Disney's application for a permit is a clear sign that the line is considering offering Alaska cruises.
A spokeswoman for Disney Cruise Line confirms that Alaska cruises are in consideration, but says that the cruise line is always evaluating new itinerary possibilities. Indeed, Disney -- known for its Bahamas and Caribbean itineraries -- has tried out several new cruising regions over the past few years. Disney Magic tried out the Mediterranean in 2007 and the Mexican Riviera in 2005 and 2008. Next year, the ship will add two new Eastern Caribbean itineraries -- one featuring Tortola and the other St. Croix, both new ports for the cruise line.
Might Disney send Magic to Alaska in 2010? Or is it seeking options for its new, larger ships, which will debut in 2011 and 2012? Right now it's anyone's guess but we'll keep you posted as new developments occur.

A couple of 4 p.m. Eastern Time games are on Tuesday's World Cup 2014 (Copa Mundial de Futbol Brasil) slate, highlighted by Colombia vs. Japan (Japon), which will be televised nationally (ESPN TV schedule/Univision Español en vivo) and live streaming for soccer and football fans everywhere. On June 23, MLS reported that Arena Pantanal, Cuiabá, Brazil, will host this Group C clash beginning with the pre-match show two hours before kickoff.
Those watching the 2014 FIFA World Cup online can get their pre-game party started as early as 2 p.m. Eastern Time courtesy of ESPN's family of networks (Pre-Match Coverage - Japan vs. Colombia - 2014 FIFA World Cup). ESPN3's free live stream feed gives Colombian and Japanese aficionados an in-depth look at what happens when the players arrive at the arena and all their pre-game rituals.
Simultaneous TV (English/Español) coverage of this intercontinental match gets underway following the online-exclusive content at around 3:30 p.m. ET. Univision (en vivo), ESPN (DirecTV channel 206) and CBC (Canada) will handle broadcasting duties for what should be a very interesting clash. It's worth noting that those who wish to continue watching online can pick from the following live streaming ESPN3 (Internet) options:
(3:30 p.m.) Japan vs. Colombia (Group C) (2014 FIFA World Cup)
(3:55 p.m.) Highlight Reel - Japan vs. Colombia (2014 FIFA World Cup)
(3:55 p.m.) Korean Audio - Japan vs. Colombia (2014 FIFA World Cup)
(3:55 p.m.) Tactical Cam - Japan vs. Colombia (2014 FIFA World Cup)
(3:57 p.m.) Em Português - Japão vs. Colômbia (2014 FIFA World Cup)
What can soccer/football/futbol fans expect to see when they tune in or live stream this 2014 FIFA World Cup (Copa Mundial de Futbol Brasil) showdown? For starters, Colombia has certainly earned the respect of oddsmakers. Moments removed from kickoff, the South American side is listed as a -120 betting favorite to defeat Japan's +290 odds of a victory.
It's also worth noting that the chances that there will be a draw is the third most likely scenario at +300, according to Internet figures. Finally, the OVER/UNDER for this Colombia vs. Japan 2014 World Cup match is set at a combined total of 2½ goals.
Although there isn't much at stake for Colombia after punching their ticket into the Round of 16, the same cannot be said for Japan, despite their poor start, this team is still very much in the race for the second qualifying spot. Can they find that missing spark in time to make things interesting in the Group C standings? Soccer/football/futbol fans cannot afford to miss what is sure to be a very intriguing affair. Tune to ESPN (TV/Internet live stream), Univision (en vivo en Español) or CBC to watch it all unfold.

The Myth Of
The Atheistic Barber
Durbin Davis
From: Davis, Durbin
To: <email@example.com>
Sent: Monday, April 05, 1999 7:57 PM
Please explain this to me:
A preacher and an atheistic barber were once walking through the city slums. Said the barber to the preacher: "This is why I cannot believe in a God of love. If God was as kind as you say, He would not permit all this poverty, disease, and squalor. He would not permit disease. He would not allow these poor bums to be addicted to dope and other character-destroying habits. No, I cannot believe in a God who permits these things."
The minister was silent until they met a man who was especially unkept and filthy. His hair was hanging down his neck and he had a half-inch of stubble on his face. Said the minister: "You can't be a very good barber or you wouldn't permit a man like that to continue living in this neighborhood without a haircut and shave."
Indignantly the barber answered: "Why blame me for that man's condition? I can't help it that he is like that. He has never come in my shop: I could fix him up and make him look like a gentleman!"
Giving the barber a penetrating look, the minister said; "Then don't blame God for allowing the people to continue in their evil ways, when He is constantly inviting them to come and be saved. The reason these people are slaves to sin and evil habits is that they refuse the ONE who died to save and deliver them."
The barber saw the point. Do You?
From: Cliff Walker <email@example.com>
Subject: Re: [The Myth of the Atheistic Barber]
Date: Tuesday, April 06, 1999
I get the point of your myth, just like I get the points of the Jesus myth, the myth of Matsys the Fish, and many of the other myths I have encountered.
However, like your barber story, the Jesus story is fiction. I understand the point, I just dont think it is based in fact.
If a certain argument against your claim of the existence of a god is inadequate (in this case, a misrepresentation of the Argument from Evil), it does not follow that your claim is therefore true. Here is an example of such foolishness:
Sacred Chao: "Santa Claus visited my house last December 25th."
Dao Ting Tom: "No he did not."
Sacred Chao: "Prove it!"
Dao Ting Tom: "Because, colorless green ideas sleep furiously."
Dao's response to Chao's claim is meaninglessness, and fails to refute Chao's claim. However, we still haven't verified Chao's claim. It remains just that: a claim, and nothing more.
Your little story fails to properly state the Argument from Evil, making it seem more foolish than it actually is (it's quite formidable, actually, which is why whoever wrote it did not tackle it head-on, but instead erected a Straw Man of it).
Your barber story, like the Jesus myth, contains serious flaws:
Thankfully, no monster such as the Christian "God" exists. We only have to worry about this matter when people use faulty reasoning in their attempts to persuade us that falsehood is truth.

This should be quick - we're trying to determine if there are problems parsing some WKT text because the system locale considers the decimal separator to be a comma instead of a period.
Anyone know? References would be handy so I can show the devs.
Our specific implementation is using Esri's Web ADF but I am curious to know how other systems handle it, and whether or not the OGC has established an official opinion.

Garden Spot: Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, the Old Order Amish, and the Selling of Rural America
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, has been known since the eighteenth century as the Garden Spot of America. Today it is synonymous in American popular culture with Amish country, a place of peace, prosperity, and traditional values that has somehow survived unscathed the upheavals of the twentieth century. Yet Lancaster is also a rapidly growing and diverse population center with progressive farmers and booming industry. Garden Spot is about the ways Lancaster Countians have struggled to define their present and future in a time when their home — and rurality in general — is increasingly identified with the past. Underneath their struggles lies a pair of vital questions: Is there a future for rural America? And if there is to be a rural future, how can ruralites take charge of it? (Oxford University Press, 2002)
