Welcome Catholic Moms! › Forums › General Topics › Modest dress › Reply To: Modest dress
This might be a shocker to some but I wear a 2 piece swimsuit 😯 ! I am a very conservative woman but when I am at the pool, it's for a reason. If I walk to the consession I do put a cover up on but when Asher is playing in the kiddie pool with his friends, it is a wonderful opportunity for me to put the reclining lounge chair (its aloud) in the water with him and relax while getting a little color…sunscreen on my face though, dont want wrinkles! This might relect (as I'm sure most will think) my age (27) but I personally don't see anything wrong with that. Now, if I get stretch marks after the one I'm carrying, a 2 piece will probably be a thing of the past!
In everday life I try not to let my breasts show which isnt much of a problem for me since I am small chested. But my jeans fit and all of my shirts are fitted…not tight. If my husband and I go out for a nice dinner, I might wear a dress that goes above the knees with some high heels…he's a leg man and rarely gets to see me dressed up anymore and I want to please him and keep his his eyes glued to me. It's nice to hear a "Wow" when you come out of the bedroom from getting ready. I'm not sure I would get that response from him if the dress were baggier and didnt make me look beautiful in form and figure. I wish I could post a pic for you from one of our date nights so that you can have a better understanding as to what Im talking about. Church attire might be a tad different from "date night" attire, there might be a few more inches on the dress but I generally wear slacks with a nice sweater or short sleeve top.
With all that taken into account, I also dont want to be the cause for another man's lust…that is why I feel I have found a happy medium. No matter what I wear, it could never compare to the clothes I see other women in, I'm pretty sure the other men would be looking at them and not even noticing me. I mean, why look at me when there is always another woman in the room that probably has her areola about to show or has gone "Britney Spears"! Which reminds me, my husband was on a plane last year with a bunch of guys from work and in a came a woman trying to catch her flight at the last minute in a red low necked dress and her nipple had popped out! No one else would tell the "poor girl" except for my honorable hubby! She quickly tucked it away and turned about as red as her dress…God knows I never want to worry about being that girl.

In Washington DC, a bill that would help protect the Great Lakes from invasive species has been revived by the Senate, and sent to the House for a vote.
The Vessel Incidental Discharge Act, or VIDA, would set a national precedent for controlling boat ballast water that enters the U.S.
The bill was revived when Senator Gary Peters of Michigan added an amendment that would require all ships that enter the Great Lakes through the St. Lawrence Seaway to dump their ballast water prior to entry.
Ballast water is considered to be one of the biggest doorways for aquatic invasive species to enter our waterways.

Good ol' Smokey and the Bandit music! Great road music, too, and I'm no fan of country music.
Holy smokes! There really is an uncle, and he's a trucker….no wonder he's always out of town!
Just read the name on the door….they must be co-drivers, or at least both running rigs.
Nope, can't read it no matter how hard I try. Magoo strikes again.
Jerry Reed – Eastbound and Down - Scenes from Smokey and the Bandit
door sign is "more & les"
Too many other characters getting into this strip and crowding Fritzi out.
Missing the point. Fix up the house and the taxes go way up too. Can uncle afford it???
I hope his uncle doesn't get too distracted.
"Son! What's that girl got on…..her mind?"
I just loved all of Jerry's old novelty songs, as they were called in the late '60's & early '70's. He was a funny rascal. He just lived too hard and fast, and left us all too soon.
Bleah! No boobs!
Jerry Reed was one of the finest guitar pickers. Check out Lightening Rod 1977 on Youtube.
RIP Annette Funicello
Measurements: 36-22-36 as stated by her on her 18th birthday, which weren't a result of any surgery and had many hits in the late 1950's and early 1960s,
Her beach movies will continue to be watched because they were entertaining, especially with Harvey Lembeck as Eric Von Zipper
More importantly, conducted herself in a manner that female pop singers like Britney, Lady Gaga, Madonna and others would have been wised to follow
It would be nice to see Fritzi listening to one of Annette's songs that she sang on the beach movies.
The plot thickens! Thanks Guy for the Jerry reed!

Former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson will discuss his plans for a "Medicaid Makeover" in a presentation to the Center for Health and Social Policy at the LBJ School of Public Affairs on February 8 at 1 p.m. in the Thompson Conference Center on The University of Texas at Austin campus.
Thompson created the Medicaid Makeover organization to promote innovative strategies that would make Medicaid more cost effective and efficient when delivering critical health care to millions of low-income Americans.
As Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in the George W. Bush Administration, Thompson spearheaded the White House effort in passing the Medicare Modernization Act in 2003. He also played a major role in administering the Health Insurance Flexibility and Accountability Demonstration Program, which provides Medicaid waivers to states that develop innovative approaches to expanding the number of low-income families covered by health insurance.
Prior to serving as secretary of HHS, Thompson was elected to four terms as governor of Wisconsin. While governor, he enacted the "Wisconsin Works" program, which served as a national model for welfare-to-work reform. In addition, Thompson extended health insurance to many low-income children and families and created FamilyCare, designed to enable elderly and disabled citizens to receive care in their homes for as long as possible.
Thompson left the White House in January of 2005 and is president of Logistics Health, Inc. and a senior partner at Akin Gump, a Washington, D.C. law firm. He is also a senior advisor at the consulting firm Deloitte and is the chair of the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions. On December 15, 2006, he officially established an exploratory committee to consider a possible run for the White House in 2008.
For information about attending Sec. Thompson's presentation, contact Robin Pearson via firstname.lastname@example.com, or 512-232-3423 by February 7, 2007.

Mattify Shimmery Eyeshadows with Naked Cosmetics Matte Shadow Base
This product was one of the cooler things I got at IMATS LA, but it wasn't until IMATS Vancouver that I realized how neat it actually was! This is an eyeshadow base that will actually matte out shimmer, specifically in pigments. I have never seen anything quite like this before, as the majority of shadow bases either work to just enhance the shadow or to add shimmer, not take it away.
When I first got this, I was using it like I normally use shadow bases- Applying it on a naked eyelid, then putting the shadow on top. I noticed that this really didn't matte the colors as much as I hoped.. it really barely took away shimmer! When I went to IMATS Vancouver, I asked if I was using it wrong, and was told that the more product you use, the better, and it works best if it's actually mixed with the pigment.
This makes a MUCH more dramatic difference with shimmer! The colors instantly become much more matte- not entirely, but more of a satin.
Something to keep in mind- quite a few collections from Naked Cosmetics have Calcium Crystals in them, which are the super sparkly glitter particles you can see in the purple shade I used to demo. These cannot be matted out, so when mixed with this base the color isn't as matte as it is with shades that don't have those particles, like the orange above.
This base is available for $14.99 from Naked Cosmetics.

Dale Peterson's over-the-top campaign ad for the obscure GOP primary for
Alabama agriculture commission attracted wide attention for its unintentional humor,
insight into Alabaman politics, and for being, as one blogger put it, "The most American thing ever made."
We did not think anything could be more entertaining than this ad. But humor website Funny or Die is attempting to make the unusual spot even better with this new parody. It's funny, but it's most striking for how similar it is to the original. They did not have to change much to cross the line into parody.

Lindsay Lohan Facing Over 200 Days In Jail
The fallout for Lindsay Lohan's legal troubles is piling up - for violating probation, the former child star is facing 245 days in jail - and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
According to TMZ, it's expected for the judge overseeing the case of Lohan's June car crash to revoke her probation and set ANOTHER court date - to fromally decide if Lohan violated the terms of her probation.
Even if Lohan is found not guilty of lying to police officers after the crash, she could still be found guilty of breaking her probation, as the standard of proving someone broke probation is much lower than cases that must be proven beyond resonable doubt.
Lohan would face 8 months in jail for probation violation, plus time for the charges against her in the car crash - which could be just under 2 years. Then, she must deal with her $200k IRS debt.
Troubling times for Lindsay.

Inside Downtown Detroit's Madison Building With Josh Linkner
It's a new day…and a new way of doing business in the "D."
And the incubator of this new model is here–inside the Madison Building.
"We think entrepreneurship is the most important economic driver for our city's revitalization," said Josh Linkner, CEO of Detroit Venture Partners.
Linkner built e-Prize into a tech success story. Now as CEO of Detroit Venture Partners, he's helping others create companies, fulfill dreams, and simultaneously, rebuild a city.
"I believe that very quickly Detroit's going to become known as one of the most important start-up cities in the United States," Linkner told Detroit 2020.
Within the walls of the Madison Building, you're beginning to see that come to life, with companies such as Quikly, Doodle Home, and Detroit Labs.
"They are building mobile apps for some of the biggest brands and companies in the world. It's a company we launched only a year ago. They're already profitable. They have millions of dollars in revenue, 30 some employees and it's all happening right here in the 'D', Linkner said.
And it's all happening in a cool workspace.
The Madison Theatre is gone, but the building was preserved after decades of decay. Cement floors, exposed brick, and steel beams give it an urban feel. Some of the graffiti, courtesy of urban explorers, also remains.
"This is a city with a soul and to have that grit and determination that allowed our city to prosper in the first place–and re-applying it in the tech world today–I can't think of anything more exciting," Linkner said.
The Madison is one of 15 downtown buildings businessman Dan Gilbert has purchased since January of 2011. Gilbert is also a general partner in the venture capital firm. They're driven to make a difference.
"The nice thing about an entrepreneur building their company here rather than someplace else, is you can actually leave your fingerprints, you now. If I built a company in Silicon Valley, nobody would care. Here in Detroit, it matters. Everything you do matters," Linkner said.
A driving force for change. That's the goal.
Here's a list of companies located in the Madison Building:

It truly is astounding what a championship can do for someone's basketball reputation.
A mere 12 months ago many people saw LeBron James as a choke artist who couldn't get it done in the big moment, and now there are legitimate discussions about how he stacks up against Michael Jordan. The same logic can be applied to the collegiate level when it comes to coaches.
John Calipari got the championship monkey off of his back recently, but there are still plenty of great program leaders that have never cut down the nets. Read on to see the 10 best coaches who are still looking for that elusive national title.

I've barely finished my coffee. The big ol' cup I drink from each morning has a picture of Grumpy the dwarf and says I hate mornings!
I close my Bible after reading Psalm 102. The heading said A Cry for Help.
Yes Lord, I need that.
And it hits me, in verse 18 king David is praying for me, he's praying for you. Incredible.
That's when the siren's start.
"Wee-ooo, weee-oooo!" And sock clad feet come tumbling down the stairs.
Excuse me while I kiss a freckled face little man, er' I mean fireman.
And following shortly after him I hear the clomp of dress shoes and she emerges, a pair of pretty shoes, swishy workout pants and a pajama shirt. Her hair tousled, several unruly curls standing up on end and a mat of fuzz in the back where she lay on her pillow.
Oops, I delayed and now she's streaking through the living room and the baby knows he's been left, clinging to the rail of his crib.
And the questions begin and the barage of random conversation. He is the reason I need to start the coffee early.
"Mom, I know what will happen if you break a chord." He stares into my tired eyes with wonder. "It will like, lightning your hand or something."
I raise my eyebrows and wonder where he's going with this.
"Speaking of. Can I have a peanut butter rice cake?"
Ah ha!
That's my cue.
She is back upstairs trying on something new, crowing like a rooster, then singing a "Got It" song.
This is my real.
This is my glorious life.
Joyfully participating in Five Minute Friday at The Gypsy Mama!

Useful Apps for iPhone?
Climbing Mt Princeton this week as my first 14er. I have the 14ers app for iPhone, but curious if any others recommended? I feel I need to get an altitude app at the least. Just want to be able to track where I am as best possible.

Re: Useful Apps for iPhone?
Having only hiked two 14ers, someone else is probably better qualified to talk about how effective apps are in the backcountry, but I use an elevation app and a radar app. The elevation app proved less useful than I thought it would as once you're away from wifi areas and relying only on your 3G or 4G, it has trouble pinpointing your exact location. My garmin GPS was far more accurate and reliable in that field. Radar images are much more important, especially if you're hiking or climbing in an area with an obstructed field of vision in one direction or another. I had a great deal more peace of mind climbing Gray's on Memorial day when I could keep checking the radar to see if there was anything threatening behind Gray's and Torreys, as you can't really see over them from the standard route until you're nearly on top of them.

Re: Useful Apps for iPhone?
I rarely use apps in the backcountry, but topo maps app (http://topomapsapp.com/) is great and could be used effectively in the BC. The maps are high res scans of USGS map and they are stored on your phone so no signal needed to use the app.

This is an interesting app that would be of use in some cases. It is free and there is an ad free one available as well.

Henrico Police chief wins international award
Henrico Police Chief Douglas A. Middleton earned the CIT (Crisis Intervention Team) Police Chief of the Year award from CIT International last week at the annual CIT International Conference in Las Vegas, Nev. The Aug. 21 presentation was attended by more than 1,000 people from the United States and other countries.
CIT International is a non-profit membership organization whose primary purpose is to facilitate understanding, development and implementation of Crisis Intervention Team programs. They promote and support collaborative efforts to create and sustain more effective and safer interactions among law enforcement, mental health care providers, individuals with mental illness, their families and communities.
Middleton said he was honored and humbled to have received the award.
"This recognition is a result of a total team effort and partnership between the Henrico Mental Health Developmental Services Department, the Division of Fire, the Sheriff's Office and the Police Division," Middleton said. "The dedication and enthusiasm of the men and women who train, teach, participate and support CIT are providing valuable services to our citizens. The real recognition does not belong to me; it belongs to the men and women in Henrico County who recognized and brought to fruition the success of a meaningful program that yields measurable benefits to our community."
National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Central Virginia chapter President Mike Francisco praised Middleton's efforts.
"Chief Middleton is very committed to supporting the CIT programs in his county and the surrounding counties who have requested their personnel to be CIT trained by his staff," Francisco said. "He plans to CIT-train 100 percent of Henrico Police officers. He is committed to ensuring all first responders are CIT trained. The success of the CIT programs in Henrico County and the surrounding counties is because of Chief Middleton's tireless efforts and his dedication to duty."

Lake Township trustees want a full-time fire chief for their department after deadlocking recently over two candidates who applied when the post was advertised as part time.
Trustees voted 3-0 last night to give current members of the fire department until Aug. 19 to apply.
"There is so much work that needs to be done we feel it needs to be full time," said Trustee Ron Sims, who has been an unpaid acting administrator of the department since October.
The job requires a lot of paperwork to be completed and grants to be sought that can offset department expenses, Mr. Sims said.
Lake Township, with about 75 part-time firefighters, once employed a full-time fire chief. Surrounding fire departments have full-time fire chiefs, trustees said.
Trustees want their decision for whomever they select to be unanimous, he said. They were unable to agree recently when they considered two internal candidates.
"After I talked to both assistant fire chiefs and asked if there were others who would be interested in a full-time position, they said there was," Mr. Sims said.
Originally, five internal candidates applied, and later 10 outside candidates sought the job.
Trustees took no action to ask for applicants from outside the department. The full-time salary would range from $48,000 to $50,000 a year, double the amount paid to Dennis Boos, the former township chief who resigned last year.
In other action, trustees renewed the contract of Police Chief Mark Hummer for one year and granted him a three percent pay increase. His former salary was $54,558 a year.
"We think he has done a wonderful job," Trustee Melanie Bowen-Horton said. "We are very pleased with him." Mr. Hummer was hired in May, 2004.

Eleven Biotherapeutics Presents Data on Novel Protein Therapeutics for Treatment of Front and Back of Eye Diseases at ARVO 2014 Annual Meeting
Eleven Biotherapeutics Presents Data on Novel Protein Therapeutics for Treatment of Front and Back of Eye Diseases at ARVO 2014 Annual Meeting
Clinical Data on EBI-005 Demonstrated Improvements in Signs and Symptoms in Patients with Dry Eye Disease through IL-1 Inhibition
Preclinical Data on EBI-029 Demonstrated Inhibition of IL-6 as a Validated Target for Treating Diabetic Macular Edema
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Eleven Biotherapeutics (NASDAQ: EBIO), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company discovering and developing protein therapeutics to treat diseases of the eye, today announced the presentation of data for two of its novel, protein therapeutics demonstrating the key role of cytokine biology to target both front and back of eye diseases at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) 2014 Annual Meeting in Orlando, FL. Clinical data on Eleven's lead drug candidate, EBI-005, the first IL-1 (Interleukin-1) signaling inhibitor designed for topical ocular administration, demonstrated improvements in signs and symptoms of dry eye disease (DED), including reduction in ocular pain and artificial tear use. In addition, preclinical data on EBI-029, an IL-6 (Interleukin-6) inhibitor optimized for localized ocular administration in diabetic macular edema (DME), has demonstrated that EBI-029 potently inhibits IL-6 signaling in vitro. IL-6 is a cytokine that has previously been shown to be upregulated in DME, contributing to the angiogenic and inflammatory components of the disease and correlating with disease severity. By inhibiting IL-6, EBI-029 could offer an alternative to current standard of care, including anti-VEGF therapies.
"Proteins designed specifically as ophthalmic therapies represents an innovative approach to treating diseases of the eye with high unmet need," said Abbie Celniker, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of Eleven Biotherapeutics. "These data demonstrate Eleven's ability to target both front and back of eye disease by leveraging our extensive cytokine biology expertise."
Dr. Celniker continued, "The data we are presenting on our lead product candidate, EBI-005, underscores its potential utility in treating dry eye disease by inhibiting the cytokine IL-1, a key mediator of inflammation in the eye. Likewise, a correlation has been previously observed between increased IL-6 levels and disease severity in diabetic macular edema, including scenarios where VEGF inhibition treatment has been suboptimal. These data suggest the potential of IL-6 blockade with EBI-029 in treating diabetic macular edema and support further development of EBI-029 either as a stand-alone drug or in combination with VEGF blockade."
EBI-005, a topical IL-1 receptor antagonist for the treatment of ocular surface disease, is currently being evaluated in a pivotal Phase 3 clinical study in subjects with DED and a Phase 2 clinical study in subjects with allergic conjunctivitis. EBI-029, an IL-6 receptor antagonist for localized intravitreal treatment of back of eye disease, is currently in preclinical development for the treatment of DME.
In a poster presentation entitled "Optimized IL-6 Blockade for the Treatment of Diabetic Macular Edema," Eleven Biotherapeutics researchers presented preclinical data which demonstrated that local IL-6 inhibition potently inhibits IL-6 signaling.
- Local IL-6 inhibition with a surrogate anti-IL-6 antibody significantly reduced abnormal neovascularization in a rat model of choroidal neovascularization (CNV), supporting the role of IL-6 in pathologic ocular angiogenesis.
- Intravitreal (IVT) administered anti-IL-6 antibody significantly reduced lesion size compared to the vehicle control (p = 0.0054 on Day 15 and p = 0.0005 on Day 22).
- There was no significant difference between the IL-6 inhibition and anti-VEGF positive control.
- EBI-029, a novel antibody against human IL-6, potently inhibits IL-6 signaling and has novel biophysical properties, including improved stability and solubility and minimized systemic exposure, for high-concentration IVT administration.
- The humanized antibody EBI-029 binds human IL-6 with 200 pM affinity and potently blocks IL-6 signaling in cellular assays.
- EBI-029 is thermally stable (Tm ~ 80 °C) and has no measurable aggregation at 20 mg/mL.
- Full-length variants of EBI-029 have been engineered to further extend vitreal residence and reduce systemic exposure.
In a poster presentation entitled "Topical Interleukin-1 (IL-1) Receptor Inhibition Reduces Ocular Pain" Eleven Biotherapeutics researchers presented clinical data which demonstrated that inhibition of IL-1 reduced frequency of painful or sore eyes suggesting that inhibiting IL-1 signaling in the eye with EBI-005 may directly affect ocular pain associated with DED.
- A Phase 1a/Phase 2b clinical study of 74 subjects with moderate to severe DED treated topically with EBI-005 resulted in a clinically meaningful improvement in Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI)-Pain/Sore eye score at six weeks compared to baseline scores.
- In this Phase 1a/2b study, treatment with EBI-005 for six weeks resulted in a clinically relevant reduction in the frequency of painful or sore eye compared to vehicle treatment.
- Treatment with EBI-005 was safe and well-tolerated and importantly, did not decrease corneal sensation.
- The effect was seen as early as two weeks post initiation of therapy with no plateau of effect at 6 weeks
- The effect was greater over time compared to the vehicle control.
- The EBI-005 Phase 3 co-primary endpoint in Dry Eye is the painful or sore eyes question of the OSDI.
In a poster presentation entitled "Reduced Rescue Artificial Tear Use in Subjects Using a Topical Interleukin-1 (IL-1) Receptor-1 (R1) Blocker for Ocular Treatment of Dry Eye Disease (DED)" Eleven Biotherapeutics researchers presented data from a Phase 1/2b study which demonstrated that EBI-005 treated subjects used fewer rescue artificial tears than vehicle-control treated subjects.
- Subjects treated with EBI-005 used fewer rescue artificial tears than vehicle control treated subjects over the six week study period.
- Mean rescue artificial tear use over the six week study period was 11.1 vials for subjects receiving EBI-005 and 31 vials for subjects receiving vehicle control (p value=.005).
- Median rescue artificial tear use over the six week period was 1 vial for subjects receiving EBI-005 and 10.5 vials for subjects receiving vehicle control.
- There was a lower percentage of users of large amounts of rescue artificial tears (defined as user of more than 50 vials during the six week study period) among subjects receiving EBI-005 (5% or 2 of 39) compared with vehicle control (35% or 9 of 26) (p value= .005).
- Of the 10 heaviest artificial tear users, eight (80%) were subjects receiving vehicle.
- Vehicle control treated subjects used more rescue artificial tears than those who received EBI-005 at all time points, with the largest difference seen at four weeks.
- Rescue artificial tear use was similar between EBI-005 treated and those treated with vehicle control at two weeks for subjects with baseline OSDI scores of less than 50 (EE50 population). At four and six weeks, however, subjects receiving vehicle control used more rescue artificial tears than those who received EBI-005.
About EBI-005
Eleven Biotherapeutics' most advanced product candidate is EBI-005, which was designed, engineered and generated using the Company's AMP-Rx platform and is being developed as a topical treatment for dry eye disease and allergic conjunctivitis. In 2013, Eleven Biotherapeutics completed a Phase 1b/2a clinical trial of EBI-005 in patients with moderate to severe dry eye disease. The EBI-005 program is based on the role that elevated levels of the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1, or IL-1, play in the initiation and maintenance of the inflammation and pain associated with dry eye disease and the redness and itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis. EBI-005 is currently being evaluated in a pivotal Phase 3 clinical study in subjects with dry eye disease and a Phase 2 clinical study in subjects with allergic conjunctivitis.
About Eleven Biotherapeutics
Eleven Biotherapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company with a proprietary protein engineering platform, called AMP-Rx, that it applies to the discovery and development of protein therapeutics to treat diseases of the eye. The Company's therapeutic approach is based on the role of cytokines in diseases of the eye, the Company's understanding of the structural biology of cytokines and the Company's ability to rationally design and engineer proteins to modulate the effects of cytokines. Cytokines are cell signaling molecules found in the body that can have important inflammatory effects.

NEWARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — An Essex County mother whose son was shot and killed by police is calling for a march in Newark.
As WCBS 880's Jim Smith reported, before the police-involved deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, Michele Kamal says there was her son.
"Three Irvington police officers to shoot at him 15 times and 10 bullets actually hit him. No one deserves that," she said.
Abdul Kamal, 30, was killed by police in Irvington after authorities said he broke into his estranged wife's apartment in November of last year.
Kamal allegedly refused to take his hands out of his pockets before police opened fire.
Kamal's mother is awaiting a grand jury decision on the case, but is calling for change, Smith reported.
"For the police to understand that they can't just murder people in the street," she said.
A march and rally is set for Wednesday in downtown Newark to remember Kamal, Brown, and Garner.
"I say I don't want anyone else to go through this," Kamal said. "But until things change it's going to happen again and again."
Brown, who was unarmed, was fatally shot by police in Ferguson, Missouri last weekend. His death has sparked national outrage and prompted days of protests that have seen clashes with police.
Garner, of Staten Island, died while in police custody last month after a police officer put the father of six in a chokehold — a move banned by the NYPD. Garner's arrest was captured on cell phone video and led to weeks of protesting from the Staten Island community.

The definition you told is fine. However, the notion you have about the components of a vector is not ok completely. Actually the components are generally said and the representation you are having, talks about rectangular components of a vector. As the coordinate system changes the rectangular components of a vector also chnage their direction accordingly keeping the magnitude fixed.
If you are talking about a vector, the magnitude remains changed irrespective of the coordinate system. However, as you change the coordinate system or may be if you are rotating the coordinate system then the direction changes and accordingly the direction of the rectangular components change.
I hope this helps!!!!!!!!!

The decision was welcomed by the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, even as they acknowledged that the tentative ruling wasn't likely to be the end of the court battle over the ballot measure.
"We expect that the other side will appeal, so we're in this for the long haul, but this is extremely good news and will make tomorrow's court hearing less of a nail biter," Abby Michelson Porth, associate director of the Bay Area Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC), wrote in an email.
The JCRC led a group of plaintiffs in bringing the lawsuit, which included Jewish and Muslim families, doctors and Jewish ritual circumcisers.
Lloyd Schofield, the ballot measure's proponent, defended it against the lawsuit. Schofield notified the plaintiffs Wednedsay afternoon that he will appear in court on Thursday morning to oppose the ruling.
According to documents filed with the court, Schofield is acting as his own attorney. He could be reached for comment.
"It's a great win for San Francisco parents," Nicole Aeschleman, an attorney representing three of the plaintiffs in the case, said of the tentative ruling. "Parents will continue to have the ability to make decisions about the health and well-being of their children in consultation with the medical professionals who will actually be performing those procedures."

The Dublin Well Woman Centre recently reported dramatic increases in the rates of positive STD tests seen in 2012, which the report released by the Centre suggests may indicate that Ireland could be facing a sexual health crisis.
The most significant change was seen in regards to genital herpes. According to Public Health England, herpes diagnoses accounted for 7 percent of all STI cases reported in the U.K. last year, placing it ahead of gonorrhea, but behind chlamydia in the number of cases reported. Among those tested by the Dublin Well Woman Centre, however, positive tests for herpes increased by 72 percent over the past year.
Rates of chlamydia also increased at the Dublin clinics. This disease accounted for almost half of all STI cases diagnosed in the U.K. last year, according to PHE.
Chlamydia is the most commonly diagnosed sexually transmitted disease in the U.S. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that 1,570,000 Americans were infected with this disease as of February 2013.
Better data collection and more widespread testing may have a role in the increase of cases reported, but the Well Woman Centre noted that although the incidence of chlamydia increased by 35 percent over the twelve-month period, the number of individuals tested for the disease increased by only 12.5 percent. Alison Begas, Chief Executive of the Centre, said said that measures must be taken to address the sexual health of the Irish population.

Why Michael Strahan is the Luckiest Man in the World
At 41, Strahan isn't what you would consider old. Sure, maybe for pro football. But in his new world where appearances are more important than numbers, he's right in the middle of his prime. Still, that hasn't offset the shift in priorities that naturally comes with age, experience, and, of course, fatherhood. He finds he's more ready to speak out. In June 2011, he filmed a commercial supporting legalizing same-sex marriage in New York, and he previously helped PETA produce a public service announcement in favor of animal rights. "I don't want to feel like I'm part of the reason why people aren't happy," Strahan tells me. Ultimately, he's setting an example for his children, trying to give them the same inspirational father figure that he had growing up. "My kids are great because [they] are truly their own people," he says. "My daughter's into fashion. My son, he's into science. And then my twins are 8, and they're into everything." It's important for Strahan that his kids find their own path. His job is to make sure they never doubt themselves—something he was taught years ago by his father.
"My dad was somebody who never doubted me," Strahan says. "He said you're going to get a scholarship—I did that. Then, when I was in college he said 'when' you're in the pros—yeah, that happened. And so on. 'When' you're an All Pro, 'when' you make the Pro Bowl, 'when' you do this, 'when' you do that...and now the show, Live! It was 'when' you get the show. I have to make sure I do the same with my kids.
Ultimately, the most important lesson that Strahan wants to pass on to his children is that while hard work will bring you success, it's never an excuse for complacency, and sometimes moving on to something else is the best way to truly experience life. "My last memories of playing are of how great I felt [at the Super Bowl]—how great it felt running out of that tunnel, how we weren't supposed to win—that was the most fun I've ever had as a player," he says. "It was the crowning moment of anything I've ever done in terms of the biggest payoff. Every sacrifice, every surgery, every time I was out there shivering in Green Bay in -23° weather—it made it all worth it." It all paid off.

VisSim – Modelling and Simulation of Complex Dynamic Systems
Visual Solutions' VisSim is the fastest and easiest-to-use simulation and embedded system design software available. VisSim is 4 to 10 times faster than competitive simulation products. VisSim State Charts lets you graphically create, edit, simulate and generate C-code. The free VisSim Viewer lets anyone run VisSim diagrams.
The Core Product – VisSim
The core product, VisSim, is used for general modelling, simulation and control system design applications. VisSim is an award winning graphical block diagram language for modelling and simulating complex dynamic systems.
VisSim's visual interface offers a simple method for constructing and simulating large-scale complex dynamic systems; its math engine provides fast, accurate solutions for linear, nonlinear, continuous time, discrete time, time varying and hybrid system designs.
With VisSim, you can quickly develop virtual prototypes of any dynamic system. Models are built by simply sliding blocks into the workarea and wiring them together with the mouse. Each block of the diagram performs a function. You can also create blocks in C, Fortran or Pascal and add them to the VisSim block library. After a model is built, a click of the "Go" button immediately gives interactive results.
Many Addons
VisSim addon modules are pictured at right and extend the functionality of VisSim to areas like frequency domain analysis (VisSim/Analyze), real-time hardware-in-the-loop prototyping and control (VisSim/Real-TimePRO), and efficient C-code generation (VisSim/C-Code). The C code can be compiled and run on any platform that supports an ANSI C compiler.

you can say a lot about the ukranian NS scene without bringing politics for the most part, these bands aren't very outspoken.
Written by Guest on 26.09.2006 at 17:19
I don't really agree that, as writing an article about Ukranian Metal WITHOUT mentioning politics would be very incomplete, as it is an important part on the scene... and I don't agree that they are not outspoken... Nokturnal Mortum had posed with Swastikas (and have song-titles like "The Call Of The Aryan Spirit"), Hate Forest have the sunwheel on the logo (same with Dub-Buk), Drudkh have a song called Sunwheel, and I agree that Aryan Terrorism are a totally worthless act, but it's a side-project of the most known Unkranian Black Metal band after all... I would like to think that he would be able to write an article basied purely on music, and mentioning the "slavian pride" as concept for the scene (that would be very positive), but the German Nazi references are obvious.
EDIT: The sunwheel is originally not a Nazi symbol, but it's obviously associated with it, so that would be necessary lead to talk about the straight-nazism of bands like Nokturnal Mortum.

Social Media vs. Monster of Internet Censorship! Which Side Are You On?Posted in Offbeat, Social Media, Social Media Activism By Web Marketing War On April 25, 2012
March 2012 – Russia considering social media ban due to anti vladimir wave.
April 2012 – China lays out web censorship plans. In addition to it, it introduced rules that seek to ensure that when people go online, they use their real names/identity.
The war is on. It's us vs them. We the crusaders of social media, are in middle of, fight of our lives with the authorities who want to curb our fundamental right of expression. As days are passing by, the major threat to the freedom of the net comes from the governments across the globe, who are increasingly trying to control access and communication of their citizens.
The authorities have begun to realize the power of social media to organize people and start a mass movement . Experts insist that there is a massive conspiracy being planned to attack the freedom of the web and governments all over the world are united about it. The efforts to clamp down are not just restricted to china, Russia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, its happening in United States and India as well.
Sergey Brin in his last interview to The Guardian said- very powerful forces have lined up against the open internet on all sides and around the world". "I am more worried than I have been in the past," he said. "It's scary."
Democratically elected leaders are not shying away from acting as autocrats the moment anything is written against them or their party. This intolerance is giving rise to such bans in the name of security, privacy national interest.
Recently, there was a case in India where in a university professor was arrested for sharing a cartoon of the state chief minister on the social networking site. The next thing she wanted was to ban the use of social media sites. There was a huge hue and cry in the online as well as traditional media circles. Better sense prevailed and professor was eventually let off.
The question is, why there is such a high intolerance to hear anything against you. It is your own people and they have the right to express their views which may not always be in accordance to your expectations.
Sergey Brin said five years ago he did not believe China or any country could effectively restrict the internet for long, but now says he has been proven wrong. "I thought there was no way to put the genie back in the bottle, but now it seems in certain areas the genie has been put back in the bottle," he said
Those who know the inside story warn that – This war has multiple layers and is intensifying with each passing day. The battle for control of the internet is being fought across the globe between governments, companies, military strategists, activists and hackers
All this brings us to this question – What is needed to be done?
Simple, raise your voice with double the intensity every time you hear any such incident. It is the question of our fundamental rights and No One can be big enough to take it away from us.
All the bloggers should make it a routine to write against such posts. Social media users should be ever ready to spread such stories. The idea is to pressurize the authorities to refrain from taking such a stand.
We the social media warriors need to keep our fight alive for the freedom of the web. The government is acting like Xerxes:we need to act like spartans. No retreat. No surrender. This is the new social media law.
The world will know that few free men stood against few tyrants (the all mighty governments). That few stood against many (yeah, they don't speak, but many favour censorship), and before this battle was over, they could make a god-king bleed. (that's what we need to do, make them understand our strength, influence their policy making decision.)
Don't wait. Start writing about the importance of freedom of speech. Support it. Spread it. Make it loud and clear that no one will be allowed to tamper with our fundamental rights.

Tuesday Morning looks to strong holiday sales
October 31, 2007-- Home Textiles Today,
Dallas – Closeout chain Tuesday Morning reported its 33rd consecutive quarter of positive net earnings per share – although profits shrank – and also enjoyed "relatively consistent" year-over-year gross profit margins, the latter despite customers' partiality during the first quarter for commodity items.
Kathleen Mason, president and ceo, said during the 813-store retailer's first-quarter earnings call today that Tuesday Morning noticed "a shift in consumer preferences to commodity items, which produced a lower profit margin the decorative category."
But a recent cache of opportunistic buys on seasonal assortments has proved "pleasing." The retailer was able to deliver this assortment a quarter earlier than last year, Mason said, giving Tuesday Morning reason to expect a healthy holiday selling period.
"We are pleased that this category is performing to plan," she said. "We feel that due to our opportunistic inventory purchases we are well positioned for the upcoming holiday selling season. Based on our projections we expect our inventory position by December 31, both in total and on a per store basis, to be on plan."
The company reported a decline of net income for the first quarter to $1.2 million, down 62.5% from $3.2 million for the same period one year ago. Sales grew 3.7% to $201.7 million from $194.4 last year, while comparable store sales fell 1.5%.
Gross profit of $125.9 million for the quarter, compared to $121.3 million a year ago, was steady at 62.4% of sales.

Scott Eastwood Dating Singer Jana Kramer?
Jana Kramer has apparently has moved on from her recent love split with Clint Eastwood's son Scott.
The 29 year-old beauty ended her engagement to fellow country star Brantley Gilbert back in August, just seven months after he popped the question.
She has now reportedly started dating Hollywood newcomer Eastwood. Last Saturday night, the pair was spotted holding hands backstage at her concert in California.
A source tells Us Weekly, "They are definitely into each other. It's not like Scott to commit so fast, but he's really into her."
Scott is best known for role on the television show Chicago Fire, but he'll soon star in the movie Fury with Brad Pitt and Shia LaBeouf.
Meanwhile, Jana has been focused on her music for the last several years and is said to be working on a new album.

Log files to me have typically been text files written to
/var/log/ by a small system utility called syslogd or rsyslogd, or syslog-ng. Log files are also what applications create somewhere on the file system into which they write status messages or full stack traces. Log files contain plain text, so I can unleash the full power of the UNIX toolbox onto them to find what I'm looking for.
Information "mining" on dozens of huge log files over hundreds of machines with a combination of
gzip -d,
grep, and
less doesn't really work though, and that's putting it mildly. Thankfully I follow the right people on Twitter and have heard of Logstash and all the related buzzwords.
I spent a few hours doing some research and took some notes to try and clarify how the different bits and pieces fit together to make a big picture. (The fact that many of the bits are interchangeable compounds the confusion.) The drawing I made during my tests, helped me understand how the bits interact, and I hope it will help you as well.
Some notes on what I've learned so far about some of these components.
ElasticSearch is a distributed RESTful search server based on Apache Lucene. It provides a scalable search solution which can be used to search all kinds of documents with a schema-free index using JSON over HTTP.
If you look at my drawing above, you'll see some parallels between Graylog2 and Logstash: both accept messages somehow or other, and both store them in ElasticSearch. All comparison ends there.
The Graylog2 server is written in Java and accepts log messages via a UDP or TCP syslog listener onport 514 (configurable) or AMQP. It also requires an installed MongoDB in which it stores user accounts, some of its configuration, and statistics.
In addition to syslog, Graylog2 accepts messages via GELF, either directly on the Graylog2 server or from remote locations, using one of the supported language bindings. Whatever Graylog2 receives, it stores in ElasticSearch.
The monolithic Logstash program is an indexer and/or a Web server, depending on the arguments you launch it with. It also comes bundled with a copy of ElasticSearch (but I'll ignore that here: I prefer to use external instances of ElasticSearch).
The Logstash indexer reads logs from a variety of sources, called "inputs", for example from files (cleverly following growing files -- think
tail -f and log-rotation), from sockets, with a "syslog" listener, from message-queues (AMQP and ZeroMQ), pipes, or Redis. Each source is labelled with a "type" which I can use later to have Logstash apply particular filters to to specific "types" (i.e. sources).
Logstash' filters let me pick up messages from "inputs" and massage them. I can "grep" for specific lines, join lines with "multiline", "split" lines, and (crazy but true) use "zeromq" to process the message off-site, waiting for a response before continuing. Most importantly, the "grok" filter allows me to use regular expressions to chop a log line into fields which I can "mutate" (another filter) or simply have Logstash store in ElasticSearch. Breaking a log line into fields means I can search by particular fields. (I'll show you an example shortly.)
Outputs, finally, instruct Logstash how to handle messages which were "input" and possibly "filtered". Recall we applied a "type" to each message source, and I can use these types in "outputs" to segregate logs to different places. (Typically most inputs will go to "elasticsearch", but I could, say, additionally store messages in a file output.) There are a large variety of outputs: "stdout" and "elasticsearch" ought to be self-explanatory. Others include "e-mail", "file", "http", "amqp", "redis", "nagios", "pipe", "tcp", "zeromq", etc.
This is what a Logstash configuration can look like:
input {
file {
type => "bindaxfr"
path => [ "/var/log/named/axfr.*" ]
format => [ "plain" ]
add_field => [ "fofo", "babar" ]
filter {
grok {
type => "bindaxfr"
patterns_dir => [ "/usr/local/share/grok/patterns" ]
pattern => "%{DNSAXFRCOMPLETE}"
add_tag => "axfr"
add_field => [ "named_raw_message", "%{@message}" ]
output {
elasticsearch {
host => '127.0.0.1'
I define a single input, a single filter, and an output to ElasticSearch.
Visualizing the lot, a.k.a. The GUI
Logstash provides an optional simple Web interface through which I can search for whatever it has added to ElasticSearch.
A separate project, Kibana, provides a PHP-based interface which connects directly to ElasticSearch. Apropos ElasticSearch: here's a UI you must get for looking into it.
Graylog2-Web provides a separate Ruby on Rails project which offers a very sexy-looking interface into what is stored in ElasticSearch. Filters allow me to drill down and search for specific fields, "streams" enable me to use pre-defined filters for doing the same, and I can monitor streams and have them issue alerts or forward messages to other Graylog2 endpoints.
Shipping logs
So how do I get logs from machines into Graylog2 or Logstash? Well, there are a lot of ways to accomplish that:
To Graylog2
- Configure machines to forward syslog entries to the remote Graylog2 syslog-listener, or have rsyslogd store in ElasticSearch itself.
- Ship log entries via GELF to the Graylog2 server.
- Use Gelfino, a tiny GELF server (written in Closure), as forwarder endpoint to Graylog2.
- logix is a Python daemon which queues events over AMQP for transmission to Graylog2's AMQP listener.
To Logstash
- Copy logfiles via the "traditional" methods (e.g.
rsync) to the Logstash server and use a "file" input.
- I can run Logstash' "syslog" input on individual servers or centrally, and have, say, syslogd forward messages to that.
- I can run Logstash on shipping servers, feed logfiles into it, do the filtering thing there, and send results off to ElasticSearch (or Graylog2) from there. (Read Centralized Setup with Event Parsing, which uses Redis as a broker or load balancing Logstash with Redis.)
- Lumberjack is a promising new lightweight utility (by Jordan Sissel) which will collect logs locally to ship them elsewhere.
- An alternative seems to be Beaver -- a Python daemon that chews on logs and sends their content to a remote Logstash server via Redis or 0MQ. What I particularly like about the Redis way is that it can buffer to disk if the indexer (Logstash) goes down for maintenance.
Grok is a program (and API)
that allows you to easily parse logs and other files. With grok, you can turn unstructured log and event data into structured data. [...] You can match any number of complex patterns on any number of inputs (processes and files) and have custom reactions.
I found the best way to start learning grok was by using it standalone, i.e. without Logstash, starting with the tutorial example and going on from there; a glance at the Logstash Cookbook helped me too. I set myself the task of parsing a BIND zone transfer log file into individual fields, so I started off by building an appropriate regular expression using parts already defined in the Grok package to parse a line like this
02-Aug-2012 08:52:52.600 transfer of 'example.com/IN' from 192.168.37.53#53: Transfer completed: 8 messages, 052 records, 20965 bytes, 1.925 secs (372200 bytes/sec)
with this:
DNSAXFRCOMPLETE %{MONTHDAY}-%{MONTH}-%{YEAR} %{HOUR}:%{MINUTE}:%{SECOND}\.%{INT} transfer of '%{HOSTNAME:zone}/IN' from %{IP:clientip}#%{POSINT}: Transfer completed:.*messages, %{POSINT:records} records, %{POSINT:octets} bytes,%{SPACE}%{NUMBER:seconds}
Note how I grab a field (e.g.
HOSTNAME) and rename it (
zone). What happens here is: as soon as grok finds a regular expression matching the definition of "HOSTNAME" it assigns that to a field called
zone which Logstash will store in ElasticSearch. Here is an example of what the individual fields look like via the Graylog2 Web interface:
(I can click on the pink bits to have Graylog2 use a field as a filter.)
This is all very powerful, and I have a lot to learn; I feel it's going to be worth it.

Financial statements are prepared to summarize all business activities by an enterprise during an accounting period in monetary terms & report financial outcomes in terms of performance, status of assets, liabilities & flow of cash. These business activities vary from one enterprise to other on one hand and size & volume of business on the other hand. To compare the financial statements of various reporting enterprises poses some difficulties because of the divergence in the methods and principles adopted by these enterprises in preparing their financial statements. In order to make these methods and principles uniform, comparable, transparent, establish accountability and bring true & fair view of Financial Statement - Accounting Standards are evolved.

Tivoli Audio Model One
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
I was looking for a radio that brought in more stations and this radio does just that. I have only used the FM dial at this point but am looking forward to playing around with the AM soon.
Pros: Very stylish; good sound especially for mono; brings in more stations and clearer.
Cons: The volume dial is a little bit hard to get to just the exact spot I want for just above audible for sleeping use ( I keep it on a classical station most of the night).

Nurse's Aide Arrested For Abusing Elderly Patient At Oneida County Nursing Home
Attorney General Spitzer today announced the arrest of a certified nurse's aide for repeatedly abusing an 86-year-old woman at a Rome nursing home last month.
"This kind of criminal behavior against our elderly and most vulnerable residents will not be tolerated," said Spitzer. "We are committed to vigorously prosecuting those who abuse the patients in their care."
Margaret Henderson, 59, of 204 Lyndale Drive in Rome, was arraigned today in Rome City Court before Judge Daniel Wilson. She was charged with five counts of Wilful Violation of Health Laws. If convicted, she faces up to one year in prison.
Henderson, while employed as a nurse's aide at the Betsy Ross Rehabilitation Center between January 1st and 16th, physically abused the patient by pulling her by the hair on five separate occasions. The incidents occurred while moving the patient from her bed to a wheelchair, getting her to stand, or assisting her in getting dressed.
Spitzer thanked the State Health Department for referring the matter to his office. He also thanked the nursing home for its assistance and cooperation in the investigation.
