Fighting Fiber's Side Effects?I've been trying to fit more fiber into my diet. However, the more of it I eat, the more gas and bloating I experience. Is there anything I can do to combat this embarrassing side-effect?
Answer (Published 11/9/2010)
Fiber refers to the parts of plant foods that humans cannot digest. Good sources include bran cereals, beans, vegetables, fruit and whole grains. People who eat a lot of fiber have a better-functioning gastro-intestinal system than those who eat too little. Fiber increases the bulk and frequency of bowel movements, and its lack is a common cause of constipation. It also may help reduce the risk of colon and rectal cancer.

The optimum diet should provide at least 40 grams of fiber a day. You can achieve this by increasing your consumption of fruits (especially berries), vegetables (especially beans), and whole grains. Ready-made cereals can be good fiber sources, but check the labels to make sure they give you at least four, and preferably five, grams of dietary fiber per one-ounce serving.
Unfortunately, for all the good it does, fiber does have the inconvenient and embarrassing side-effect you've been experiencing – flatulence. This occurs for the same reason that beans produce gas: when bacteria in the gut attack and digest these complex carbohydrate molecules, methane gas is released. Individuals differ greatly in their tolerance to the side effects of increased fiber consumption; sometimes, you can avoid it by increasing your fiber intake slowly. Or, if bran gives you gas, eat less of it, take smaller amounts more frequently, or concentrate instead on eating more fruits, vegetables and whole-grain products. Taking bran as a supplement may cause two other problems. It may interfere with the absorption of minerals from foods, and it may impede bowel movements if you do not drink large amounts of water with it. Therefore, I do not usually recommend the use of fiber supplements in the form of pills, powders or straight wheat bran. I do suggest that individuals who are frequently constipated try powdered psyllium seed husks with lots of water.
For most people, the best advice concerning fiber is simply to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits as well as products made from whole grains. If you eat fewer products made from white flour and enjoy more whole-grain foods of all sorts along with your vegetables and fruits, you will not have to worry about getting enough fiber in your diet.

- Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac - Who will finance their future?
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were formed as government agencies to expand home ownership and provide stability and liquidity to the secondary mortgage market. The continued decline in housing prices in the US has resulted in huge write downs in the residential mortgage backed securities market. The S&P Case Shiller home price index has been declining consecutively for the last 23 months; it fell 0.5% in July 2008. The imminent threat to Fannie Mae's and Freddie Mac's combined debt of US$1.59 trillion, and lack of financing options have raised doubts about the viability of mortgage companies.
As anticipated in my homebuilder and asset securitization analysis
For those who haven't read my verbose missive: The Asset Securitization Crisis Series to date, please do. The macro stuff is free, and the micro stuff is more than worth it. I made very clear the following would happen and laid out the case from a logical perspctive as well as a historical one - while the Street and media were declaring ths a "Supbrime" crisis that would be contained. 100% of my research resources have been following this path for the last couple of months and it is starting to bear fruit. If you thought the homebuilders/insurers/CRE/investment banks and regional bank research seemed prescient, you ain't seen nothing yet!
From Bloomberg:
Bank of America Says Losses Shift to Commercial Loans
By David Mildenberg
Sept. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Bank of America Corp., the biggest U.S. consumer bank, said credit weakness is spreading to commercial borrowers from residential customers and loan losses probably will deepen in the third quarter.
Home builders unable to repay their loans are contributing to deterioration among commercial borrowers, said Brian Moynihan, head of the global corporate and investment banking unit, at a New York conference today. More than half the Charlotte, North Carolina-based bank's $13.4 billion in loans to builders are considered troubled, 19 percent are not paying interest and losses are likely to mount, Moynihan said.
Bank of America's commercial loans were $335 billion as of June 30, and a home-builder portfolio that accounts for less than 4 percent ``won't create major pain for us, but it's going up,'' he said. ``It's not pretty.''
The Big Bank Bust
I have commissioned additional work on the banking crisis, for I feel we are at the nadir of another BIG downturn. More than one of the big institutions are at the brink of a bust, and I think the markets are generally too optimistic. Let's add to where we have come thus far:

- Pt one of three of my opinion of HSBC and the macro factors affecting it
Now, on to the Big Bank Bust and its Impact on the Real Economy - the next major installment of the Reggie Middleton on the Asset Securitization Crisis (this, combined with my trades and blog/media experience should be a book one day).
Before we go one though, the let's take the tab of the effect of the bust on the big banks...
A) The story so far...
Commercial and Investment Banking no more in vogue
- Asset writedowns surpass US$500 billion
Since the beginning of the crisis, the global banking community had asset writedowns worth more than US$550 billion. This asset securitization crisis, which initially manifested itself as a subprime mortgage problem, has spread to other asset categories and has become a full fledged credit crunch. The problem is not restricted to the US alone, with banks across Europe and Asia recording significant asset writedowns. The US subprime mortgage market's collapse in 2007 has led to banks worldwide reporting US$508 billion in losses due to declining value of papers/securities tied to home mortgages, commercial mortgages and leveraged loans.
Speaking of S&P valuations...
Speaking of valuation, the volatility of the financial components in the S&P (and the S&P in general) is easily double the historical average. This drives up the cost of capital, a major component in DCF. If there is even the slightest whiff of an uptick in interest rates - Look out below! Book values are also being misinterpreted. LEH is allegedly trading at 25% book value according to those on the Street. If that is the case, then why can't they find a suitor? We all know why! LEH is probably currently trading at a slight premium to real book value, if not par!
People who should know better think that stocks are cheap now because their prices went down. They are going to get burned, again.
GSE's make the Doo Doo smell worse
From the FT.com :
Fannie and Freddie's combined $36bn of preferred stock is widely held by US regional banks. These banks will be forced to take significant write-downs of their holdings.
Few banks have provided detailed disclosures on the extent of their holdings in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but among those that could be most affected are Gateway Financial Holdings and Midwest Banc Holdings. According to recent research by analysts at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, both banks have exposure that amounts to more than 30 per cent of their tangible capital.
Now, I understand and agree with the argument that the bailout was necessary to prevent a run on US government backed debt, but this is far from a reason to rally or celebrate. Let's take a look at what Paulson has done to the Doo-Doo 32.
We looked at the filings of most of the 32 banks of the doo doo list. It is to be noted that GSE exposure includes the banks' holdings in senior debt or mortgage-backed securities, which could virtually be certain to be protected under any bailout scenario of Fredic Mac and Fannie Mae. Banks' holdings in common, preferred or subordinated debt face higher risk of being wiped out (although it appears that the sub debt may be protected as well, eventhough it may be considered a form of additional moral hazard).
a very few banks have disclosed how much of their exposure to GSE is in
preferred stock, common shares or subordinated debt on a granular
Key observations:
- Wells
Fargo, M&T Bank and Sovereign Bancorp have exposure of 5.2%, 5.4%
and 8.7%, respectively, of their total equity into preferred shares of
- Banks have very nominal exposure to common equity shares (currently near worthless) of GSEs as % of banks' total equity.
- Banks'
total exposure to GSEs securities (including senior debt) is 129.1% (as
% of total equity) for Popular, 62.3% for Sovereign Bancorp and 53.4%
for Glacier Bancorp
M&T does not have capital to spare. There ratios are thin enough as it is, and the preferred investments should be just about wiped clean. As for Wells Fargo...
More thougts on Fannie and Freddie
In the media, it appears as if some are speculating that the government takeover will somehow improve the US housing market. Let's get this straight. The reason why Freddie and Fannie are in this mess now is because they took on more business than they could afford to handle. Lots of leverage, overly cheap (as in below market rate) capital, and imprudent management decisions hath wrought this wrath of the economic gods. If the government were to fix this problem, it would only be by the exercise of prudence. That means no supporting trillions of dollars of lending and insurance with billions of dollars of capital. That means real and selective underwriting. That ultimately means much smaller companies that will lead to much less mortgage market liquidity. Its the only way. No more monopol money, no more somethings for nothings.
I am glad that the Morgan Stanlely suditors were able to see through risk hiding and accounting shenanigans. Now, that they are finished, they should return to the MS headquarters in Time Square and dig into their own books. Morgan Stanley is still, after all, the Street's Riskiest Bank!
Hey, not to pick on just Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo , the entire Doo Doo 32, Fannie and Freddie, there are also the investment banks. We already went through Bear Stearns (where I warned you months before the collapse), the monolines (too many warnings to go through here, see the archives), but the other investment banks are using the venerable fuill of sh1t accounting methodology to account for assets, liabilites and losses. Do you remember my admonition regarding Goldman Sachs and the Golden Boys (see Goldman Sachs Snapshot: Risk vs. Reward vs. Reputations on the Street and Reggie Middleton on Risk, Reward and Reputations on the Street: the Goldman Sachs Forensic Analysis), well not only has that trade yielded handsome profits but it has not even come close to coming to its full potential. These financial sector guys are time bombs! The worst is ahead of us. Consider yourselves duly warned. The revolution will not be televised.
When, not if, the next big blow up occurs, it will push the next leg of my investment thesis into overdrive. As it is, the RE and investment portion of the thesis as yielded risk adjusted returns that have more than proven my point.
Fannie and Freddie failures are but a microcosm for the entire industry
In reading an article in the NY Times just now, I came across this poignant statement:
The Treasury secretary, Henry M. Paulson Jr.,
who won authority from Congress last month to use taxpayer money to
bolster the companies, always maintained that he hoped never to use
that power. But, as the companies' stocks continued to languish and
their borrowing costs rose, some within the Treasury Department began
urging Mr. Paulson to intervene quickly.
Then, last week, advisers from Morgan Stanley
hired by the Treasury Department to scrutinize the companies came to a
troubling conclusion: Freddie Mac's capital position was worse than
initially imagined, according to people briefed on those findings. The
company had made decisions that, while not necessarily in violation of
accounting rules, had the effect of overstating the companies' capital
resources and financial stability.
Indeed, one person briefed on
the company's finances said Freddie Mac had made accounting decisions
that pushed losses into the future and postponed a capital shortfall
until the fourth quarter of this year, which would not need to be
disclosed until early 2009. Fannie Mae has used similar methods, but to
a lesser degree, according to other people who have been briefed.
anybody truly surprised? These companies used massive leverage to write
and/or insure trillions of dollars of loans, many of which were written
on top of the largest real asset and credit bubble in modern history.
It was bound to happen. I have went through this in excruciating detail
(see The Asset Securitization Crisis).
anybody truly think that "real" privately owned and publicly traded
banks operated any differently. Reread the NY Times quip above, then
visit my findings (yes, I was the first) on Wells Fargo accounting
proclivities below. An excerpt:
Increasing provisions and chare-offs
· In
1Q2008, WFC's NPAs increased to over 1.16% of total loans from 1.01% in
4Q2007. Overall NPAs increased to $4.5 bn from $3.9 bn in 4Q2007. NPAs
in real estate construction loans witnessed highest increase of 49% to
$438 mn in 1Q2008. NPAs of C&D loans stood at 2.32% of total
C&D loans, followed by real estate 1-4 family mortgage (1.91%) and lease financing (0.83%)
· Wells Fargo's gross charge offs increased to 0.46% of total loans compared to 0.37% of total loans in 4Q2007. C&D
loans witnessed the highest increase in charge-offs with an increase of
nearly three-fold to $29 mn in 1Q2008, showing signs of increased
stress in these loans. Real estate 1-4 family junior
lien mortgage, credit card loans and Other revolving credit and
installment had charge-offs of 0.61%, 1.68% and 0.98% to total loans,
· However
despite increase in NPAs and increase in charge offs, Wells Fargo
provision for credit loss sequentially declined to $2.0 bn in 1Q2008
from $2.6 bn in 4Q2007. (0.52% of total loans in 1Q2008 from 0.68% of
total loans in 4Q2007) raising concerns over possible inadequacy of
provision amount.
· From
April 1, 2008 onwards, Wells Fargo has changed its home equity
charge-off policy to 180 days from 120 days previously. Amid current
deteriorating credit markets with residential sector showing no signs
of recovery, it is quite understandable that the bank has changed the
policy in a bid to defer recognition of provision and charge-offs.
Who do you favor in November and why?
Okay, it's time to light the fuse under the political stick of dynamite. Who do you favor in November and why? From war to economics, the two presidential candidates are as different as black and white (seriously, no pun intended).
From the NY Times :
Many Americans know that there are characteristic policy differences between the two parties. But few are aware of two important facts about the post-World War II era, both of which are brilliantly delineated in a new book, "Unequal Democracy," by Larry M. Bartels, a professor of political science at Princeton. Understanding them might help voters see what could be at stake, economically speaking, in November.
I call the first fact the Great Partisan Growth Divide. Simply put, the United States economy has grown faster, on average, under Democratic presidents than under Republicans.
The stark contrast between the whiz-bang Clinton years and the dreary Bush years is familiar because it is so recent. But while it is extreme, it is not atypical. Data for the whole period from 1948 to 2007, during which Republicans occupied the White House for 34 years and Democrats for 26, show average annual growth of real gross national product of 1.64 percent per capita under Republican presidents versus 2.78 percent under Democrats.
That 1.14-point difference, if maintained for eight years, would yield 9.33 percent more income per person, which is a lot more than almost anyone can expect from a tax cut.
NY Times on China's bind
Main Bank of China Is in Need of Capital
HONG KONG — China's central bank is in a bind.
It has been on a buying binge in the United States over the last seven years, snapping up roughly $1 trillion worth of Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed debt issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Those investments have been declining sharply in value when converted from dollars into the strong yuan, casting a spotlight on the central bank's tiny capital base. The bank's capital, just $3.2 billion, has not grown during the buying spree, despite private warnings from the International Monetary Fund.
Now the central bank needs an infusion of capital. Central banks can, of course, print more money, but that would stoke inflation. Instead, the People's Bank of China has begun discussions with the finance ministry on ways to shore up its capital, said three people familiar with the discussions who insisted on anonymity because the subject is delicate in China.
This is actually an interesting article and I urge you to read the rest . As you know, I have been bearish on the Asian nations and the chickens are finally coming home to roost. See my China macro update .
I was wondering when these guys would tire of losing money...
From CNBC , that bastion of financial news stuffs:
Pimco's legendary bond investor Bill Gross said during "Street Signs" Thursday that his firm would be staying out of any and all bank offerings for the foreseeable future.
Banks the world over have raised $400 billion in capital, Gross said, and may need to raise much more. The problem, though, as yesterday's $1.5 billion preferred offering at Wells Fargo showed, is that the institutional buyers are full, leaving only small investors to pick up the slack.
As Gross said, "There's only so many billion and a half small investor bank capital deals that can be done from this point forward."
Don't say I didn't warn you about Wells Fargo (no wonder why they're raising capital) - see my Wells Fargo work: drill down, the forensic analysis and the Q2 highlights.

Charity: water uses Twitter to help supporters raise funds for clean water projects.
Millions of consumers are seeing and sending Twitter messages on their smartphones—one reason Twitter and mobile can make a powerful marketing combination. At Internet Retailer's Mobile Commerce Forum yesterday, Paull Young, director of digital engagement and fundraising for charity: water, shared how the not-for-profit organization has put Twitter at the core of its fundraising efforts and also how other businesses can use Twitter to support their own goals.
Charity: water, which has raised millions to build wells providing safe drinking water in 17 countries, has built a powerful presence on Twitter with more than 1.3 million followers. It uses its position on Twitter not to raise money directly—Young says the charity never asks directly for funds on Twitter—but to support its followers' efforts to raise funds for the cause, by building community around those campaigns.
For example, charity: water tweets news of followers' fundraising initiatives, such as local Tweetup parties, and also re-tweets the posts of others hosting, reporting from and commenting on those events. Charity: water and its Twitter followers also use TwitPic—a tool that allows people to easily post photos on Twitter via their mobile phones as well as by e-mail or directly from TwitPic.com to post photos on the charity's Twitter page. The photos capture fundraising events and the related activities of followers as well as pictures of clean water wells being built, used and appreciated by local residents.
"Those are some of the ones that work best for us," said Young of the clean water photos.
Young also offered ideas for how retailers and for-profit organizations can use consumers' rising interest in Twitter, which is being fed by their increasing use of mobile phones, to further marketing goals. Participation in the ongoing conversation on Twitter can help humanize huge corporate brands, according to Young. At Dell Inc., for example, No. 3 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, employees are actively encouraged to Tweet about the company and thousands of Dell employees do just that, he said. Similarly, online shoe retailer Zappos.com encourages employees to participate in Twitter, with CEO Tony Hsieh leading the way.
Young also mentioned other ways large brands are using Twitter, such as for customer service, noting that Home Depot Inc., No. 39 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, as well as Comcast are monitoring Twitter for customer comments and responding to tweets as needed. "It's not going to replace the customer service department, but it's a great way for people to have a good experience with the brand," Young said.
The immediate nature of Twitter also can make it a valuable tool in crisis management, Young said, describing Twitter's role in a recall of Graco strollers. "Social media, including Twitter, was a huge part of the company's outreach," he said. The buzz on Twitter in turn pushed Graco—including what the company was doing to respond to customer concerns—up in Google search results, a phenomenon that later resulted in a favorable story in national media about how Graco handled the recall, he said.

I tried this Asian soup with a piece of Asian radish, daikon, which I shredded. I did go a little easy on the sugar but still found the flavor too sweet for me. Just more evidence that we are all different, I think. Thank you for the experience.

Rosemary Tomato Confit
When I have a ton of fresh tomatoes on hand, this is one of my favorite things to make.
Iced coffee might be the biggest racket on the planet, but darnit if it isn't super delicious and refreshing on a warm day.
I'll tell you a secret, though: it's just coffee! Why not make a little extra one of these weekend mornings? Then let it cool down in a glass vessel of some kind and then keep it in the fridge until you're in need of refreshment. Pour over ice and add some milk (regular or I highly recommend soy!) and enjoy. Or save it and make your Monday morning feel pretty awesome when you see everyone else waiting in line at the coffee shop (full disclosure: I buy plenty of coffee drinks, but I try to limit my purchases there to stuff I can't easily make at home).
And if you want to make your drink a little more awesome, you can do like Dave suggested and make ice cubes out of coffee too. Pour some iced coffee over coffee ice cubes… Oh baby.
Enjoy your Saturday, friends.
I love the Ice cube idea! will for sure be checking that out!
Thank you! 🙂

Happy Sunday, everyone. I don't know about you but having a few days off has been fun, restful, full of adventure and fun projects. Not to mention spending time with close friends at our annual Friendsgiving. I actually haven't done a ton of shopping yet – but don't worry, I will remedy that soon. Yesterday […]
One of the things that I think I'll miss most about going into the fall and winter season is the simplicity of summer food. I am sure there are simple winter foods as well. But right now when I can throw some adorable peppers under the broiler for five minutes, it's hard to think about […]

Beautiful photo, Hippo. Love the wetness, and the clear droplets on the flower. I really like the way the background is filled with subtle colours that blend with the flower, yet it doesn't overpower the flower, or distract from it at all.
Thanks Whirli. I liked this one when I saw it because it is very different from the usual flowers you see everywhere.

Thanks Hugo.
Very nice all over!

Movie Info
Critic Reviews for Screamers
All Critics (32) | Top Critics (18) | Fresh (21) | Rotten (11) | DVD (1)
Is it possible to get mad at a film that has its heart and soul in the right place?
Grating concert footage trivializes Garapedian's message. (One fan, celebrating the band's political potency, enthuses that 'System is antiwar, they're anti-this, anti-that.')
Armenian-American director Carla Garapedian, who got a doctorate in international relations at the London School of Economics, presents a wide-awake, high-decibel briefing on foreign policy.
This film has provocations to spare; it just hasn't been made provocatively. It's a mess, actually.
Screamers is a commendably brave piece, but less focused and powerful than you'd like.
Audience Reviews for Screamers
Bad music, boring band clips, meandering story, random strangers. Not exactly bad, but not successful or good by any standard. The Armenian holocaust deserves a better recounting, and better accompaniment.
SUMMARY: this is a documentary about the armenian genocide and how it affects my all time favorite band System Of A Down, the government, other geocides, and the people. POSITIVES: like every ten minutes there was a live performance from my all time favorite band System Of A Down! Their songs are protesting armenian genocide awareness and other important political issues. This film was not only putting the connection from their songs and their true meanings, but also realizing how terrible the word genocide really is. Wheither it be from the extermination of the jews back in the holocaust, or the killings in rwanda and darfur recently. Now documentarys for the most part are super boring but this one wasnt bad at all ( i bet u by now know why). IMPROVEMENTS: MORE SYSTEM OF A DOWN SONGS!! OVERALL: I learned much more about genocide as a word and how the government sees it. This was entertaining and i wish System Of A Down was still playing as a band. Anyways i'd rate this 3 in a half SOAD songs outta 5 (3.5/5 - Chop Suey, Awta, BYOB, and Soldier Side).
i own it and it really opens ur eyes up to the heartbreak of genocide. Also SOAD music is right on time. Excellent documentary.

Exporting unstructured, face-based, cell data to VTK
Dear all,
i am writing my own routine to export cell-centered data from an unstructured, polyhedral, FV solver to Paraview writing it in the old legacy VTK format.
The data structure i'm using can handle 2D/3D general polygonal/polyhedral cells and uses a face-based structure; that is, i have the following information:
1) faces belonging to a given cell
2) nodes belonging to a given face (clockwise/counterclockwise ordered)
3) cells sharing a given face
4) cell topology (triangle, quadrilateral,tetrahedron, hexahedron, pyramid, wedge, polygonal/polyhedral)
and i can easily recover also the following information:
4) nodes belonging to a given cell (NOT SORTED IN ANY SPECIFIC ORDER)
Now, i managed to write the exporting routine but, i naively guessed (going against the obvious suggetsions in the figures from http://www.vtk.org/VTK/img/file-formats.pdf and the fact that a face-node information is missing in the file format) that the order for the nodes of the cells was unimportant, that vtk would have managed that somehow.
So, my question is: given my data structure, is there any simple way to order the nodes of a given polyhedral/polygonal cell such that they can be fitted into the numbering scheme provided in the figure 2 of the above link?
Of course, i could hardcode the parts relative to the single cases, but that wouldn't be nice.
Also, i mention that i haven't really read yet the documentation for the XML format. Is there, maybe, a wayout in this format?
Hi Paolo,
This shouldn't be too difficult given you have the face/node information. You simply need to order the faces according to some consistent set of rules. For instance, for a brick element, you will have two +/-X faces, two +/- Y faces, and two +/- Z faces. Of course, these may not actually be aligned with the physical coordinate axis. Then, to make the system consistent, you will likely have to follow into the neighboring cell (you have this info too). A +X face in the first element becomes the -X face in the second, etc...
Dear Ibrieda,
thank you for your concern. After i spent almost half-day in finding an easy, elegant way to do the job for any kind of cell... i didn't find any possible way. But then i realized that hardcoding the ordering for each kind of cell was not that difficult at all, so i did it.
In practice, what i did is just following the rules described in the link i posted above:
for each cell
for each face of the cell
order the nodes of the face according to the face-normal direction (just in case, not really necessary i think)
if cell=tri/tetra, just put the nodes of the face in the list, endif
if cell=quad/hexa, if it's the first face just put the nodes in the list; endif
if it's not the first face, choose the other face as the one not sharing any node with the first one. Order the nodes of this second face such that the first one/two nodes of the two faces form a face too. Put these nodes in the list. endif
if cell=wedge, take the first tri face and put its nodes in the list;
take the second tri face and order the nodes like in the hexa case; endif
if cell=pyramid, take the quad face and put the nodes in the list;
take the remaining node and put it in the list; endif
if cell=poly, just put the nodes of the face in the list, endif
remove redundant nodes
end program
I tested the program for all but polygonal/polyhedral cells and it works. For polygonal cells (2D) i had to order the cell nodes in a counterclockwise fashion but this was a problem per se. For polyhedral cells there was no obvious way of ordering the nodes. So i just skipped the ordering for poly cells (2D/3D). Also, i don't even have a polyhedral grid generator to test it.
I could also decompose each cell in a sum of tri/tetra and do the job but this would have been much more cumbersome and also the node list should have been augmented by cell and face centroids, which was not so nice.
In any case, thanks
expering data in unstructured mesh
I also tried to export cell data and face data through vtk (legacy) but as per my knowledge volume data and surface data together cannot be exported, only one
but write data in multiple files and read
.xmdf and hdf5
Dear lalupp,
thanks for the interest. Actually, i was not trying to export surface and volume data together but just volume (i.e., cell centered) data. At the end, i managed to write the routine for all but polyhedral cells.
I've read somewhere that, of course, to do the job for polyhedral cells, an additional section is needed in the file, where the face-node connectivity is specified. However i was unable to find anywhere a detailed description of the format for this new section. Also, i am still in doubt if this feature is really available for the old vtk legacy format or it is just available fot the xml one. Are you aware of this or do you have any information about the proper format for polyhedral cells?

Inspiring Style: Get the Look ~ American Hustle1/29/2014
Jennifer Lawrence portrays Rosalyn Rosenfeld, the wife of Christian Bale's character and the mother of their child. She spruces up her suburban housewife staples with provocative ensembles that play up her emotional manipulation.
Want to look beautiful in (faux) fur? Get the Jennifer Lawrence look with this form-fitting coat from Oasap. The coat is what makes this 1970s style pop because of the big fur around the neckline that immediately screams glam. You can also try a smooth curl up-do or do what Jennifer did for the movie--wear a wig! Her hair was still brunette (as she was filming The Hunger Games) so she actually wore a blonde wig to pull off this look.
Be a stunning damsel in white like JLaw with these two options both from Michelle Jonas. You can go sexy and flirty with these keyhole dresses, whether you go with the high-low number or the floor length.
Some quick trivia: Amy and Christian Bale were both in The Fighter and Jennifer and Bradley Cooper were both in Silver Linings Playbook. Have you seen American Hustle yet? Let me know your thoughts after watching the trailer. It's now playing everywhere so get showtimes and tickets!

Love when movies have great wardrobes! I always feel like I pay more attention to the clothes, furniture and accessories rather than the storyline. Haven't seen American Hustle yet, but looks like a great one!ReplyDelete

To the Editor:
Someone reading Bob Herbert's May 1 column might think that Oregon's schools are a disaster, budgets have been cut and the Legislature is leaving Oregon students adrift. While it is true that the schools feel shortchanged in the budget process, the schools are far from poor.
Teachers in Oregon have a compensation package, adjusted for cost of living, that puts them in the top tier of educators in the country. For many years the Legislature has supplemented local district tax revenue with increasing appropriations. Property tax revenue and appropriations from the Legislature over the last 10 years have provided increases that far exceed the rate of inflation.
It is unfortunate that hard economic times have cut the rate of growth. Our schools are still a success and will continue to serve the students.
