Product Description
There is perhaps no book ever written that explains more clearly the struggles and growth involved in the Christian life than The Pilgrim's Progress. It is a fascinating allegory of our pilgrimage toward the glory majestically presented in the persons of Christian, Faithfulness, Ignorance, Formalism, Hypocrisy, Hope, Prudence, and others, with whom we can identify in some moment of our lives. This famous work has been illustrated to make it especially attractive to children. Each page carries a picture which facilitates comprehension of its message. After reading about the worries, interests, fears, demands, and emotions of these characters, the truths of the Scriptures will clearly resound and become evident in their application to daily life.

Secretary-General's video message to UNDP Global Management Meeting
Tarrytown, New, 3 March 2014
UNDP Administrator Helen Clark, Senior colleagues,
I am pleased to greet you today.
The Global Management Meeting is a unique opportunity for you – the collective face of the UN's development work -- to debate the central issues we face in serving the world's people.
It is a chance to learn from each other -- and to strengthen our bonds as a single UN team as we pursue a holistic vision for a new development agenda beyond 2015.
At the last such session three years ago, we assessed our role and relevance in a rapidly changing and challenging development landscape.
This year, you have a new Strategic Plan to guide you.
It is solid and ambitious.
It requires you to innovate and make ourselves fit for purpose.
Resident Coordinators are at the centre of this reorientation.
Your role is to lead from the field, advocate for the UN system and balance the varied development needs of our host countries.
You are key players in implementing Rights Up Front and in preventing and responding to crises.
All these responsibilities demand creativity, a proactive approach and a focus on results.
They require the highest standards of transparency, accountability and effectiveness.
By rising to these challenges, you can make a real difference in helping the countries we serve find the path of long-term prosperity and peace.
Your successes will be the UN's successes.
A stronger UNDP means a stronger UN system.
And at this time of challenge and change, a stronger UN system will help us build a life of dignity for all.
I thank you for your efforts and wish you a productive meeting
Thank you.

I'm so confused about when we got pregnant with this little blessing.Ā We weren't trying to conceive so I wasn't paying attention to my cycle and I'm not sure if we conceived in July or August, I'm either 6 weeks or 10 weeks preggo.Ā Anyway, I had blood drawn last week at what would be either 5w5d or 9w5d and my HCG level was 82,000.Ā That number seems really high to me for 5w5d which is what I was leaning towards.Ā Anyone else have super high hcg levels that early or do you think I'm farther along or maybe its twins (which I would LOVE)...

Bull, Harrison Big Winners as Season Concludes
by Darlene Miller
Scott Bull and Mike Harrison were big winners as the Fairbury American Legion Speedway came to an exciting end of its 2014 season on Saturday night with the Corn Belt Clash Late Model Series drivers, the American Late Model Series drivers, plus FALS regulars in a 40-lap feature.
Three-time defending FALS points champion Scott Bull picked up the victory to put an exclamation point on his outstanding season while also pocketing $3,000. Meanwhile, Highland's Mike Harrison picked up the 2nd annual Casey's American Modified Series Nationals race taking home $5,000. Richard Craven and Matt Maier were the winners of the Sportsman and Street stock features, respectively.
El Paso's Ryan Unzicker and Dan Flessner of Roberts led the Late Models to the 40-lap feature and quickly set a fast pace. An early caution flag flew just one lap into the feature.
Unzicker led the group back to the flag bringing along Oakwood's Bobby Pierce, Flessner, and New Berlin's Brandon Sheppard. Four more caution flags flew before the group settled into some green flag racing with 33 laps to go. Pierce wrestled the lead away from Unzicker with 23 circuits to go. Pierce, on the bottom, Unzicker and Sheppard both running high, began to feel the presence of Bull charging forward from his seventh starting spot. A caution flag flew with seven laps to go, and on the restart Pierce jumped and was put in second place following Sheppard and one spot ahead of Bull, who was now in third place.
Bull of Fairbury grabbed the lead with six laps to go as another caution flag flew after Pierce and Sheppard made contact. Pierce was done for the evening. Bull continued showing the way and with four to go Sheppard pulled to the infield. Bull held off Unzicker and Daren Friedman of Forrest for the big win. "We've been working on our car and had been struggling a little," Bull said. "Tonight the car felt good on the top or bottom. This is back where we need to be and I am looking forward to next year." Rounding out the top 10 were Eric Smith, Jason Utter, Spencer Diercks, Mike Spatola, Joe Harlan, Ryan Vanderveen, and Jay Morris. Heat winners were Flessner, Unzicker, and Sheppard.
Points champion Jay Ledford of Pontiac and Chatsworth's Lance Dehm sat up front for the 40-lap Modified feature. After a quick caution, Dehm took the lead while Ledford faced a tough challenge from Buffalo's Jeff Leka. Dehm continued his domination of the field until a caution flag flew with 11 circuits to go. Harrison, after starting 17th, moved up quietly and rapidly through the field and grabbed the lead from Dehm with 10 trips remaining. Jeff Curl got around Dehm and made it a two-driver battle with four to go. Harrison held off Curl for the win.

'Taxing the cloud' up for debateNovember 18,2012MONTPELIER — Whether to levy Vermont's sales tax on so-called cloud computing will be up for discussion at the Vermont Statehouse.
Cloud computing happens most often when businesses, instead of buying software to run their processes, go on the Internet and pay to use software housed on computers located elsewhere.
Lawmakers this past spring passed a one-year moratorium and called for a study of whether the state should impose its sales tax on cloud computing services.
At a Statehouse session set for Monday afternoon, a special committee set to study the issue is to hear from state tax officials and analysts, as well as from a tax official from Washington state about that state's experience with levying the tax.MORE IN This Just In

These Movers Will Show You a 'Nice' Time
"Nice Moves" movers sounds like the company for us.
Spotted by the brilliant Miss Heather on Bedford Avenue, a poster advertising the services of "Nice Moves Movers." They're two guys with a van, but they offer so much more! Like sensitivity. They are "personable" and "strong" guys that have "respect and courtesy" for you. After all, they "know moving is stressful." And look at those faces — they are emoting through the poster at you.
Also, their "rates are flexible depending on circumstance," so better pull out your skimpiest romper for moving day.

Tony Stewart is a puzzle. He says he doesn't points race, but then he says he'll play it safe when he doesn't have the win in sight.
But whether you call what Stewart does "points racing," one thing is for sure: He's good at it. And that could be the nail in the coffin for all other Chase for the Nextel Cup racers.
Stewart is all but unbeatable down the stretch because he's reliable when you need him to come through. Now, 38 points ahead of Jimmie Johnson and 77 points ahead of Carl Edwards, the title race is in his control -- though he's got little room to breath.
"With the last couple of weeks the way they've been, we've been able to stay pretty consistent in our point margin," Stewart said. "With only two weeks to go it probably makes it a little easier on us to just worry about doing what we've been doing. That's all we've been doing all year, anyway. We haven't really been concerned with anybody else. We've just focused on what we need to do and it's working."
Little surprise that that's what Stewart and Co. have planned for this weekend at Phoenix International Raceway.
"We're just out there doing our job," Stewart said. "The good thing is that we're just going out and doing what we've done all year. We go out and try to win the race. And if we can't win the race, we're not going to take any chances to win it. We'll just take what we can get and do it safely."
That makes Stewart the favorite for the title. Still, Roush Racing is strong at Phoenix and Mark Martin's been on fire.
The favorite
Martin has one win and eight top-five finishes. What's more, in 18 tries at Phoenix, Martin has 13 top-10s.
Add to that the fact that Martin is on a roll, finishing third and second in his last two races, and it's not hard to see why Martin is the favorite for Sunday.
"We are looking forward to going back to Phoenix and hopefully getting another strong run," crew chief Pat Tryson said. "We were off there in the spring race, so we are hoping to go there and get that corrected and come out with another good finish. We've been really fast lately -- we just have come up a little short on getting the win. Hopefully this week we can go there and come out on top."
Added Martin: "We've had some really strong runs in the last couple of races and I can't tell you how proud I am of Pat Tryson and this Viagra race team. These cars that they are giving me are awesome and it's a lot of fun to drive them. We had a really good car this past weekend at Texas and we almost pulled it off, but we just lost out to the best car. We've finished second and third in the last two so hopefully we can do just a little better this week and get us another win here before this thing is over."
Riding the wave
Are you kidding? Carl Edwards has two straight victories heading into Phoenix and he finished seventh earlier this season at PIR.
Edwards is going to need a strong effort on Sunday to creep further into contention.
"We came from two laps down there in the spring to finish seventh so I know we have ability to run well," he said. "The last two weeks have been awesome and our goals have definitely evolved throughout the year. My primary focus right now is to win this championship. Both Tony and Jimmie will be tough to beat but this Office Depot team isn't out of contention just yet. We're going to do everything we can to go out there and run up front and try to win this thing."
History on their side
Roush Racing.
Combined, the five Roush drivers have 21 top-10s and three victories at Phoenix in 35 tries.
"We've definitely hit on something there," Roush said. "I think it's a track that suits the driving style of a lot of [my drivers], and we've been fortunate to have teams turn out really fast race cars [for Phoenix]."
Cause for concern
Johnson need not hit the panic button -- after all, he's within 38 points of the prize. Still, Johnson needs to make a move right now. If he wants the title, he's going to need to make up some distance on Sunday.
Johnson said he's keenly aware of the task at hand.
"To be in control isn't a bad thing, especially with a few races left," he said. "Where we are, especially from last year, we experienced a lot leading the points all year long. And when we started to lose our advantage and not have the speed, we panicked and started to do some things wrong. And then we recovered and got it back and just ran out of time, basically.
"So, I like where we are. I think we're in good shape. There are a lot of good tracks coming up for everybody. Everybody is going to have to fight for the end."
While everyone will show up to fight, the title bout appears to be between Johnson and Stewart. Johnson said that alone has been a motivating factor.
"We can win the championship on racing and not have to count on bad luck on anybody's behalf," he said. "It looks like we've also stretched out a little cushion over a couple of guys and don't have to worry about losing anything there."
Don't forget
Rusty Wallace has a victory at Phoenix and is racing for something just as, if not more so, important, than a title. He's racing for his legacy and his pride. A victory in one of these final two events would mean the world. His best shot is this weekend.
"Everybody wants to go out on top," he said. "That's what that would be. I have already experienced such a wonderful career but leaving on a win would be something else."

Bagging the Endangered Sandwich
By R. W. APPLE Jr.
Published: September 15, 1999
WHEN I first came to New York, at 17, I pestered the school friend I was visiting until he took me to Lindy's for corned beef and cheesecake. I figured that that was the closest an Ohio kid was likely to get to the fragrant, seductively shady world of Damon Runyon and Walter Winchell -- ''boxers, bookmakers, actors, agents, ticket brokers, radio guys, song writers, orchestra leaders, newspapermen and cops,'' as Runyon described them, ''still sleep-groggy'' as they gathered for breakfast at 1 P.M., ''but shaved and talcumed and lacking only their java to make them ready for the day.''
Lindy's has long since vanished from Broadway, along with Leo Lindemann, its creator, and Sky Masterson, Nathan Detroit and the other urban wayfarers in Runyon's cast of semimythic characters. Gone, too, are Phil Gluckstern's and Arnold Reuben's and Lou G. Siegel's, where serious fressers (overeaters) could count on finding corned beef with taam, the indispensable Jewish taste. They're all part of the Oh-So-Long-Ago, as Winchell called it, like Jack Dempsey and Jack Benny.
Now, newcomers to New York -- not 17-year-olds, I guess, but 21- and 22-year-olds -- angle for tables at Balthazar or Nobu. Pals initiate them to Krug instead of cream soda.
Corned beef is alive and well, of course. It shows up around the world, in one guise or another. But in New York, where once it was king, good kosher-style corned beef is as rare as nightingales' tongues.
You find plenty of corned beef in Dublin, as the centerpiece of corned beef and cabbage, the reliably nourishing standby of the frugal housewife, and in Boston, as an essential component of a New England boiled dinner. You find it in corned beef hash, which has been a staple on American restaurant and club menus for decades.
My stepdaughter, Catherine Brown, found it in a jungle clearing on an Indonesian island -- Brazilian corned beef, straight from a can with a cow on the label, heated over a kerosene stove, served with sweet potatoes.
All the other varieties, to tell the truth, pale in comparison with the moist, garlicky stuff Jewish immigrants brought with them to New York from central and eastern Europe. Yet, today you can spend yourself halfway to the poorhouse and give yourself heartburn (not to mention heartache) looking for the kind of corned beef sandwich that defined eating in Manhattan the way onion soup defined eating in Paris: steamed, thinly sliced meat stacked high on rye bread, slathered with spicy mustard, a half-sour pickle on the side.
Woody Allen gave Manhattan corned beef one last (or next-to-last) hurrah in ''Broadway Danny Rose,'' his 1984 film about a small-time Broadway agent, which included scenes shot in the Carnegie Delicatessen. But Jerry Seinfeld and his buddies, the quintessential pop-culture New Yorkers of the 1990's, hung out not in a deli but in a diner or outside a gussied-up soup kitchen.
Except for the Carnegie and the Stage, today's Broadway is mostly a glorified food court, packed with franchised joints of every description, serving hamburgers and bagels and pizzas and the like, many of them owned by a family of real estate operators, Murray, Dennis and Irving Riese.
There is also a Riese-owned restaurant called Lindy's on Broadway between 44th and 45th Streets, but any resemblance to the original is purely coincidental. The only authentically New York aspect of the place is the surliness of the service.
SO where do you find the good stuff? Apprehensive about possible doubts -- make that probable doubts -- concerning the corned beef credentials of a man of Midwestern Lutheran origins, even if said Midwestern Lutheran has been dribbling deli mustard down his ever-expanding front for many decades, I sought the help of Tim Zagat, the guidebook publisher. A New Yorker in both palate and pedigree, he claims to have eaten corned beef regularly since puberty, including once a week at his Riverdale prep school.
Mr. Zagat's 1999 guide to New York restaurants reflects the declining role of the delicatessen, and hence corned beef, in New York gastronomy. Not one of the 50 establishments top-rated for food is a deli, although two are pizza parlors and one is a soup kitchen. Zagat's amateur critics ate in delis a lot (the Carnegie was the seventh-most-visited spot in the survey), but they must have suffered.
Throwing caution to the winds, Mr. Zagat and I decided to taste for ourselves. As a concession to age -- neither of us is young anymore -- we asked the countermen to give us thinner sandwiches than usual. Though obviously offended, they complied.
The sign outside the Stage Delicatessen (834 Seventh Avenue, between 53d and 54th Streets), meant to take a poke at the Carnegie, betrays a certain defensiveness. ''Why wait on line,'' it asks, ''when you could be eating now?'' In the heyday of Max Asnas, the founder, the Stage bragged about the quality of its food, not how quickly it could find you a table.
But the place still smells right (a little greasy, a little garlicky), waiters and customers still abuse each other in a good-natured way and the sandwiches are still named for celebrities (though it's a stretch to think of Fran Drescher and Richard Simmons, both creatures of television, as Broadway types). It still deals gently with Iowans who don't know which is the bagel and which the lox.

Keep in mind, the idea behind fall promos is to consider the seasonal needs of recipients. Fall is a time for afternoon football games, long walks in the park, and bonfire weenie roasts. It's an active time with lots of social interaction. The right promotional items will enhance the enjoyment of autumn's special appeal, and provide lasting branding power throughout the ensuing colder months.

The authority said last night it had earlier received three
anonymous letters about the handling of statistics and
referred them to police for further investigation.
"The police have now taken employment action in respect of
the officers involved and the Commissioner has publicly
accepted that errors were made and have now been rectified,"
the authority said in a statement.
"The authority is currently awaiting further information from
police and will then determine what future action, if any, it
will take."
A police investigation, revealed in the Herald on Sunday,
into southern Counties Manukau police found about 500
burglaries had been wrongly reclassified as other offences or
incidents between 2009 and 2012.
Incidents are not recorded in crime statistics, leading to
questions about whether police had fudged numbers to please
political bosses.
Judith Collins was Police Minister for most of that period
and her Papakura electorate is one of the affected areas.
She has trumpeted statistics in her newsletter Collins'
Courier - which boasted about a 36.7 per cent drop in
recorded burglaries from 2009-10 to 2010-11.
Police now conduct spot audits countrywide and have all
tier-one statistics verified by Statistics NZ to ensure
Ms Collins yesterday turned up the heat on the issue ,
blaming the Labour Party for leaking the report.
Ms Collins said: "I thought it was very interesting that
Jacinda Ardern said she didn't know anything about this
before Saturday, because Andrew Little was talking about this
last week."
Mr Little, Labour's justice spokesman, said his comments were
about a related but different matter - pressure to reduce the
number of police charges to meet Government targets.
Ms Ardern said she wanted to focus on the integrity of the
"If the minister has seen reports from the new audits, then
it would be great if she could share those - just to
demonstrate there is a guarantee of integrity in the system
and it is working properly," Ms Ardern said.
Ms Collins defended not passing information to the police or
the Police Minister when she first heard rumours about police
statistics in February 2012, just after she became Justice
"I didn't need to pass it on because police were already
dealing with it."

Recently, while doing the research for a new holster. I came across TW Holsters on eBay, then Facebook. While I don't normally shop on FB for gun gear, it is a good place to gather information and feedback on certain products. Anyway, I decided the price was certainly worth a shot, and the design seemed solid.
I ordered through eBay, the only method it which you can. Price was $34 shipped OBO. I made an offer, which was quickly accepted. Payment was made through PayPal and I sent a note to the seller/maker that I would prefer natural leather in lieu of black, which was pictured on eBay and given as an option. Well, to my surprise, the holster shipped the very next day. In total, I received it in less than a week.
My first impression: the leather seemed kind of middle of the road. Not as thick as some, thicker than others. Also, the back of the leather seems a little rough, but not excessively so. The kydex however, was very thick and well formed for my XD9sc.
Initially, it seemed far to tight and, I thought, there might be potential for it to cause excessive wear. But, for a carry gun, I was not concerned. Upon further inspection however, I found that the retention was adjustable by way of expandable rubber washers. A feature I did not expect. They were simply tightened down to a thinner profile for shipping. After some experimentation, retention is perfect.
Holster can be worn IWB or OWB by way of belt clips and belt slots. (A feature i was shopping for) Clips are standard, metal, over the belt clips; which at this time, I prefer. They just seem to hold up better for me. There are several holes for adjustment, but they aren't reinforced by grommets. Again, not uncommon. I found that the the lowest set of holes allows the kydex to sit just above the pant line, and provide the perfect carry height for me. I have yet to try OWB, bit it looks like it would work out fine.
So far, I'm pretty happy with it. I've worn it steadily for over a week and found that the leather has formed to fit me and holds its shape when removed. Its far more comfortable than some others I have tried. Thus far, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them as a solid budget option.

Nice review.
My rifle and pistol are tools, I am the weapon.
And Lord, if today is truly the day you call me home
Let me die in a pile of empty brass."
Looks like a pretty decent holster for $34.

Proximity of the hotel to the old town.
Hotel was expensive. Room was very small. Shower not up to date and bathroom could do with an update. Spa was not as good as the photos made out
Good access, free parking, wi-fi, good but very expensive breakfast.
Rooms were small for the price and our room was under very noisy stairway. When I complained next morning I was changed to another somewhat less noisy under another stairway. Staff did their best but basically they are stuck with the small, noisy (but well equiped) rooms. No English language TV was available in the room yet CNN was available in breakfast room- I was told they were in middle of changing to a new service and nothing could be done and no credit was offered.
If we come back to Annecy we would stay here. Nice staff, quiet hotel, close to the sncf. Un grand merci
The hotel was fine and well-located. However, we had a very difficult time finding it as the streets have been changed to one-way and many bricked over for pedestrians. We spend 40 mins. trying to get there. We just didn't realize that the streets would have been so changed since we were there 6 years ago.
fantastic location
The location right at the lake embedded in a lovely park-like garden matches perfectly with the grand style of the building that had been inaugurated in 1913 and was renovated and reopened in 1990. A room with a lake view will allow to enjoy the natural beauty of the place to its fullest. Rooms that are facing to the park still offer the view on mature trees. A 20 minutes walk leads you to the old part of Annecy along the lake´s shore. The interior is stylish with references to the Art Deco phase, displaying 3 meter high ceilings. Facilities are impeccable and clean.
Excellent location to explore Annecy, just a few minutes walk from the Old Town and the lakeside. Comfortable room, friendly and helpful staff and secure parking.
the localizarion of the hotel is perfect for someone visitimg or working in Annecy
my room (500) is nice but small. The shower is also small; the only problem is the shower curtain that is perturbating you during your washing, a cabin or a rigid wall would be welcome
very good service for the money requested. Clen room with good equippement. 5 minutes from realway and bus station and 8 minutes from city center
Clean and not so expensive, perfect for a weekend
Is not in the best area of the city.
We were not here for very long as we were on our way back to UK. and went into town to eat.
We had to ask to move room as the shutter on the outer window was broken
Inexpensive for this pricey region. Free parking. No frills - a place to rest our tired heads. We didn't use the restaurant but looked ok to me. Slightly out of town, but again this is a budget hotel and it's not that far.
Location is good. Hotel very nice.
Good location, comfortable rooms, nice value for money
The location on Lake Annecy is beautiful. The staff is accommodating and the food is excellent.
Stunning location and building. Received complimentary upgrade to lake view room.
Our room for 4 people was clean, modern, and spacious.
Location of the hotel is excellent, few minutes walk from the city centre. Staff was very friendly and welcoming - no issues with them whatsoever. I would totally recommend this hotel and I will try to book Adagio from now on, whenever possible.
Our room was leaking heat like crazy - not sure if this was specific to our room (top-most floor), the top-most floor as such or all the rooms. There was also a dust cover on the floor around the bed, which should not be there.
Privilodges Le Royal - Apparthotel in Annecy is the perfect place to stay. It is very affordable and has neat clean apartments. The staff is most helpful and efficient, there is a nice fitness room, and the location in the old town is ideal.
Liked having cooking and refrigeration facilities in own room. Also access to laundry facilities and free internet access
Polite staff
Large room
No Restaurant, despite sign outside saying there was! No parking (except for small cars and a €7 per night fee). All the water was hot, even in the toilet cistern!
Super helpful staff
Excellent, welcoming staff, good location on a canal, nice breakfast area
Rooms a bit sparce, but clean and excellent value
Very nice couple runs the place. Clean & crisp linens. Great breakfast for 9 Euros. Lovely view of the Chateau. Two minute walk into Old Town.
Perhaps rugs might be helpful. Person above me walked around a lot!
It was in an excellent location, quiet at night and a very short walk to the rest of town. The room was basic but perfect for someone who just needs to crash before a flight the next day.
The lock on the door - have to use the key to lock yourself in, hope there isn't a fire, it might take a minute to get out.

In Sudan, archaeologists unearth hidden kingdomsBreaking News
tags: NYT, archaeology, Sudan, Kush, pyramids
KHARTOUM, Sudan — Every winter they come and go, like birds migrating south. Most of them nest in downtown Khartoum's old Acropole Hotel, but they're not here to rest. They're here to work in Sudan's blistering deserts, and the past few years have yielded outstanding results.
For many people around the world, Sudan conjures images of war, instability, drought and poverty. All of those things exist here, often in tragic abundance. But lost in the narrative are the stories of the ancient kingdoms of Kush and Nubia that once rivaled Egypt, Greece and Rome.
Lost to many, that is, but not to the archaeologists who have been coming here for years, sometimes decades, to help unearth that history....

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

People love to binge watch TV but as it turns out, most aren't committed to doing it from the comfort of the couch.
That's at least what a new Netflix survey suggests. Over a thousand people were surveyed and more than half say they would be willing to watch their shows while working out instead of just lounging on the couch.
Hundreds of people welcomed in the New Year by running into the Atlantic Ocean dressed as a Bill Murray character.

The debate will be held at an as-yet unnamed chamber-member business within the district.
"We are pleased to host this debate and provide a platform for both candidates to address the important issues facing our country and the Commonwealth," said Barry DuVal, President and CEO of the Virginia Chamber of Commerce. "It is important that the business community is aware of where the candidates stand on issues that impact the economy."

I was just thinking about the implementation of
std::string::substr. It returns a new
std::string object, which seems a bit wasteful to me. Why not return an object that refers to the contents of the original string and can be implicitly assigned to a
std::string? A kind of lazy evaluation of the actual copying. Such a class could look something like this:
template <class Ch, class Tr, class A>
class string_ref {
// not important yet, but *looks* like basic_string's for the most part
const basic_string<Ch, Tr, A> &s_;
const size_type pos_;
const size_type len_;
The public interface of this class would mimic all of the read-only operations of a real
std::string, so the usage would be seamless.
std::string could then have a new constructor which takes a
string_ref so the user would never be the wiser. The moment you try to "store" the result, you end up creating a copy, so no real issues with the reference pointing to data and then having it modified behind its back.
The idea being that code like this:
std::string s1 = "hello world";
std::string s2 = "world";
if(s1.substr(6) == s2) {
std::cout << "match!" << std::endl;
would have no more than 2
std::string objects constructed in total. This seems like a useful optimization for code which that performs a lot of string manipulations. Of course, this doesn't just apply to
std::string, but to any type which can return a subset of its contents.
As far as I know, no implementations do this.
I suppose the core of the question is:
Given a class that can be implicitly converted to a
std::string as needed, would it be conforming to the standard for a library writer to change the prototype of a member's to return type? Or more generally, do the library writers have the leeway to return "proxy objects" instead of regular objects in these types of cases as an optimization?
My gut is that this is not allowed and that the prototypes must match exactly. Given that you cannot overload on return type alone, that would leave no room for library writers to take advantage of these types of situations. Like I said, I think the answer is no, but I figured I'd ask :-).

DSM Nutritional Products recently launched its Teavigo (INCI: epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)) ingredient for oral care products. According to the company, recent research suggests that the catechin fraction of green tea plays an important role in the preservation of healthy teeth and gums and may assist in inhibiting the development of dental cavities and gingivitis. The product is recommended for use in toothpaste, mouth spray, mouth rinse and denture adhesive cream. The product reportedly is easily dissolved in common solvents used in oral care.

I am on the West Coast, but we better incorporate offshore like the JPM's and GS's do.
Nice....good job! You are good. I am east coast, so your guidance makes sense. I like the business strategy. I will have the corporate jet fuled and ready to go. How's Ibeza sound for our first meeting? We will need to define corporate guiding principles, values, and a legacy plan to ensure a multilevel unilateral decision making body responsible for making multilevel unilateral decisions. We can go into executive session on the flight over to discuss exactly what that means.
Yep! Except if we are following the Crony business plan we don't have to worry much about any valued or principles . Just get the dough, sell short every friggin indices (except for the 20 million in gold and silver bullion and our huge salaries) and sit back and see who if we made it! One way or the other WINNING! May I nominate Charlie Sheen as a board member?

The North American Grouse: Their Biology and Behavior
Paperback: $60.00
Prints in 3-5 business days
This book summarizes the ecology, reproductive biology, and social behavior of all ten of the extant North American grouse species. It also describes the current status of grouse populations, some of... More > which are perilously close to extinction. The social behavior of grouse is of special biological interest because among these ten species there is a complete mating system spectrum, from seasonally monogamous pair-bonding to highly promiscuous mating patterns. The latter group illustrates the strong structural and behavioral effects of sexual selection resulting from nonmonogamous mating. These influences reach a peak in the development by some grouse species of engaging in mating "leks," arena-like competitions performed by males while attempting to attract fertile females, and also provide opportunities for females to select optimum mating partners. The book includes 16 range maps, 37 line drawings, and 38 photographs by the author, as well as nearly 1,400 literature citations.< Less
Swans: Their Biology and Natural History

The seven species of swans are an easily and universally recognized group of waterfowl, which have historically played important roles in the folklore, myths and legends in many cultures. Among the...

Swans occur on all continents but Africa, though most species are found in the temperate and arctic zones of North America and Eurasia. Swans are a long-lived species and are among the most strongly monogamous of birds, having prolonged pair and family bonds that influence their flocking and social behavior, and contribute to the overall high degree of human interest in them. This volume describes their distributions, ecology, social behavior, and breeding biology.

34 reviews | 4.2 out of 5
Due to the new HD TV's having the sound ported backwards instead of like the old TV's, persons (older folks), have difficulty hearing the TV. This item answers this issue perfectly.
This is great for my space and 32" HDTV. The sound is really enhanced and I can interchange with my PC Computer, DvD player and my MP3 hookup. Plays great for me. It It doesn't have a subwoofer, but with my limited space Apt, this product works wonderful for me. Since it is refurbished, I will wait to see how long will it last. Overall I will purchase another with a subwoofer for a more enhanced bass sound.
This was my first refurbished item ever to buy! And I definitely do not regret it. I love the soundbar! it has excellent sound, good bass, and really loud for its size. I definitely recommend this item and I will absolutely consider purchasing refurbished items again.
This is my first time buying a refurbished item. The Sony sound bar was better than expected, in good condition, it works great and very easy to install. I'm very happy with this purchase.
This was a gift to my daughter's family. They say it works well and they like it. The only negitive comment I would make is that it requires a special HD cable for hook up to a HD TV. This was not disclosed on the box or in the write up. Therefore, they could not hook it up when they opened it on Christmas Eve or even the next day which was Christmas day. This was disappointing. I would have gotten them the cable and included it in the gift if I had known.
The price was right but I couldn't get it to work at all. It popped and sputtered when I connected it but no sound ever came out. The instructions were of no help at all and the support number never responded. I usually have good luck with Sony products but not this time. Maybe because the product was refurbished or the price was so low was the reason the sound bar didn't perform.
I normally do not buy refurbished items but thought I would try this one because of the high ratings. The experience reinforced my feelings about refurbished items. It arrived in a box that looked beat up. Upon opening the box, I found the soundbar wrapped in bubble wrap, it did not come in a "manufacturer's" box. My husband hooked it up and it didn't do anything but hum. Thinking that it may have been that my new TV didn't work well with this soundbar, we connected it to an older TV and it did the same thing. I returned it as defective. Maybe I just got a bad one, but when I returned it I purchased another soundbar (the Energy one), which works perfectly.
This sony sound bar is high quality and user friendly, easy to set up, and now the tv volume can be lowered and the sound is easily understood. I have it connected to a vizeo tv which has a great picture but not very good sound and could not hear people talking clearly, now I don't miss a word. I should have bought it sooner and now I think I will buy another one for my other tv. The best buy for the money that's for sure!
I needed something that would fit inside a cabinet and would boost the volumn and sound quality from my TV-it did both but not as well as I would liked. Still, it works great wth my limited space.
I hesitated, when I saw refurbished. My tv has the speakers facing the wall. You can't hear it. Poor design for sure. This thing makes a world of difference!! Sounds great!
I wasn't expecting that much from this refurbished speaker, but I am pleasantly surprised at how much I'm enjoying the better sound quality as I watch DVDs, TV and stream movies. In earlier times, I had the latest and greatest in sound and TV, but that stuff finally wore out after many, many years and I now have a four year old Sony Bravia 32" with the worst sound! After this purchase (at long last, I found one I felt I could afford), at least I'm not trying to muffle the rattling, buzzing sound of the TV speakers/case. I only wish I'd found this right after I bought my TV.
good addition to TV speakers.
Sound bar is in good condition- easy to set up- sound is great- works well with my Sony TV
The sound bar came with parts missing. I called Sony and spoke to an agent at lenght. He said he would send the missing parts. A week later , one of the parts came, but it was the wrong one. I called again and reordered the same missing part, and again the wrong part was sent. I had enough of Sony's incompetence and I returned it to the store.
Replace your puny TV speaker with this Sony Sound Bar.
You won't be disappointed.
I recommend a sound bar to enhance sound and volume.
Sound is good but the remote that came with it did not work. Called Sony got another remote and that doesn't work either. Taking sound bar back to store.
Easy to install and the remote works great. Much better and clearer sound than the factory TV speaker. Remote gives you the option to select the sound mode you like best. Your can select STANDARD, MOVIE or GAME/VOICE. I wish that I had purchased this months ago.
I was vwrry scared to buy a refurbished product but we are verry satisfied with this sound bar.
Definitely worth the price.

A hill of Peanuts in this crazy world
Whatever else is going on in the world, the Fall means Peanuts to me: not just the Great Pumpkin on TV and the Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack, but Charles M. Schulz's sense that despair is inherently worth mocking. Now the second volume of The Complete Peanuts has arrived (with an introduction by Walter Cronkite), just in time for this little essay on Charlie Brown's existentialism and a cool history of Peanuts (both via Incoming Signals).
I love the cover. When Schulz biographer David Michaelis read my own appreciation earlier this year, "Take the Paxil, Charlie Brown," he called to tell me he keeps a picture of Lucy on the wall of the room where he works to remind him of how important she is to the strip. As I put it, "The artist introduced Lucy as a reminder to Charlie Brown that real-life pain isn't necessarily heroic." Good advice for the coming election.
Speaking of pain, Schulz has provided an unwitting shot in the arm for the alternative comics industry: Matos writes an interesting piece in the Seattle Weekly about how the late St. Paul boy's volumes have saved Fantagraphics, which Matos rightly calls the Sub Pop of comics. Douglas Wolk adds his Fantagraphics Top Ten. (I'm with him on Palomar, which I reviewed here, and Safe Area Gorazde. But where's Peter Bagge, the funniest subculture satirist of our time?)
Here's a Minnesota chonology of Schulz's life here, complete with addresses, and a 1997 interview with him about his days in St. Paul.
...or a Wellstone World Music afterparty (for those who've been asking). However, we will have a big party again at my house sometime, and Halloween weekend, I'll be hitting parties hosted by this blogger, and this one. Speaking of Halloween, Toasty and I loved the Trail of Terror Saturday night, which was almost as fun-scary as Sunday's Red Sox victory over the Yankees, clinched by a former Twin, David Ortiz. (Overheard joke Saturday: Why does Snoop Doggy Dogg carry an umbrella? For drizzle.)

For the 13th day this winter season, the temperature has dipped below 0 at Syracuseâ??s Hancock Airport. As is typically the case, there were many colder countryside and rural locations across our area that reached to double digits below zero (-10 to -20). Syracuse normally receives 7 days of below zero weather each winter season. Since 1902, the record highest number of days with below zero temperatures during a winter season is 20 days. This was done twice during the 1983-1984 and during the 1947-48 winter seasons.
Syracuse Hancock Airport reached -7 (below zero). This was close to, but not a record for March 6th. The record low for Syracuse for this date is -10 set back in 1948. Even though Syracuse did not break a record, there were record sets elsewhere in the New York state. Watertown International Airport reached -21 (below zero) which broke the old record of -9 in 2003. Rochester set 2 records this morning. Rochester reached -9 which not only shattered the daily record for the date of -3 set in 1948, but also set an ALL-TIME record for the month of March! The old record for all time cold for Rochester was set in 1999, 1885 and 1872.
Here is a list of many localized lowest temperatures from across central, northern, and southern New York for you to examine. They are eye-popping!

The $1 trillion omnibus appropriations bill for fiscal 2014 would more than double Defense Department spending on U.S. Cyber Command and would boost the Department of Homeland Security's funding to defend government networks.
Cyber Command would receive nearly $450 million under the legislation, a significantly higher sum than the $191 million allocated in 2013. Lawmakers also directed more than $700 million to DHS cyber defenses, including continuous diagnostic and mitigation programs.
Both provisions have strings attached. DOD officials must supply further information on Cyber Command programs, and leaders at DHS' National Protection and Programs Directorate must report on their progress on a quarterly basis beginning in April. Specifically, NPPD leaders must detail how the $719 million in cybersecurity funding is being spent and, by July 1, outline the measures being taken to secure their networks.
Budget shows how cyber programs are spreading
DOD budget includes boosts for cyber, future priorities
The budget documents also call for U.S. Special Operations Command to provide additional information about its programs and operations.
In a report accompanying the spending bill, lawmakers wrote that the House and Senate Appropriations committees look forward to working with DOD's comptroller and the commander of the Special Operations Command "to improve budget justification materials. This structure shall be the starting point and may be revised in future years based on mutually agreed upon recommendations."
The $487 billion defense budget in the omnibus bill is "virtually the same as the current level," according to a summary provided by the House Appropriations Committee, but lower than the $526 billion proposed earlier this year by the Obama administration.
