i don't understand the last sentence.
They are all getting her married to the guy she loves. Then why does she think "i wish there was turning back" ?
Having second thoughts because family doesn't treat her as they used to before ?

Nice read but the story is confusing a little! Too clever for me I suppose. :)

Nice read but I find it a little confusing. Maybe some clue as to why she is not happy now will help.

Be careful what you wish for?

Lovely description of the morning and the emotions of the girl. Does she want to turn back because the family is not happy with her, cause she chose a "good for nothing" or something?
Keep such stories coming. Thanks!

Superlative stuff! You next book should be short stories. This one, apart from recreating a Lucknow or Kanpur in my memory, made me feel that self-doubt is such a b**ch, even when you get what you think you always wanted.

Loved it! In Meerut, I know so many girls who would've been a Suchitra, in some way or the other. I was probably Gudiya to them.
And, a home in small-town UP would be exactly like this during a wedding in the family!

agree wth most of the comments abt story being confusing...strangely, it reminded me of ''tanu weds manu''...stubborn bt unsure...also jus a small nitty gritty- the maami part-in the type of fmly, if maami is lukng aftr u, u'll b in ur naani's place, away frm ur father,unless u live in the same city. Evn thn, maami wil cook at ur home only if u r almost nxt door neighbours...a chachi wil b mor apt here.

Second Punishers. They are moving onsite to Steeltown Paintball as well, it's new and off Camp Horn Rd. Also, Three Rivers Paintball can do fills but anything in their pro shop is overpriced. IIRC Rockstar Tactical is also out of Pgh

A summary of milestones in the Phoenix Coyotes ownership saga -- both on and off the ice.
2001: Developer Steve Ellman (pictured right) secures the money needed to complete his $88 million purchase of the Phoenix Coyotes by adding Swift Transportation Co. executive Jerry Moyes (pictured left) to the investment group. Moyes becomes majority owner four years later.
2001: Glendale approves a $180-million deal to build an arena for the hockey team. The team owners drop Scottsdale after an acrimonious 2 1/2-year odyssey to build at the former Los Arcos Mall.
March 2001: The Coyotes trade captain and leading scorer Keith Tkachuk to the St. Louis Blues. The team goes on to miss the playoffs for the first time in six years.
July 2001: Fan favorite Jeremy Roenick becomes an unrestricted free agent and signs a five-year contract with the Philadelphia Flyers.
August 2001: Wayne Gretzky's former agent Mike Barnett becomes general manager, replacing Cliff Fletcher. Barnett is the fourth general manager in six years for the club.
September 2001: Teppo Numminen is named captain, the 14th in the franchise's history. Numminen becomes the all-time leader in games played for the franchise in October.
June 2002: Coach Bobby Francis is awarded the Jack Adams Award as the Coach of the Year and then receives a three-year contract extension in July.
2003: Jobing.com Arena opens at Loop 101 and Glendale Avenue.

The Coyotes eliminate the Chicago Blackhawks in the first round, moving to the quarterfinals for the first time since the Jets advanced in 1987.

Topic: Server-side Timer Synchronized with Client(s)
I'm building an application that allows users to submit images, after a certain period of time (based on the number of current users) the highest rated image is selected and the application will begin accepting a new set of submissions.
My question is, how should I implement this? Should I use threads, or what other options do I have? Also, what kind of scheme could I use to synchronize the timer with all of the clients (i.e. an accurate timer on the page)?
Thanks in advance,

I don't recall any other member on this forum expressing something I feel very strongly about after extensive testing: forget about leoparding. It is just a cosmetic artifact of the fermentation time/temp and heat. Depending on which sourdough culture I use and how I ferment it and how I bake it, I can easily produce a pizza with very little leoparding that has much better flavor and texture than one with picture-perfect leoparding. More often than not, pizzas I bake that have pretty leopard spots are over-baked. I understand that visuals are an important part of food enjoyment, but IMHO, leoparding as a cue for quality is just an illusion.
This is a very important discussion, IMO. But if it is about leoparding in the context of parochial Neapolitan pizza, I'll have to bow out.
So back at you at you all: have you ever have done a blind taste comparing two bites from the same pizza - one with little or no leoparding and one with lots?
I have TRIED when tasting Neapolitan pizza to discern a link between the "leopard spots" and quality of the pizza but so far it has stumped me. That said, and to echo previous comments I definitely think there are degrees of "spotting". Big ass black bubbles just taste plain burnt to me.For the aspiring home pizza maker (such as myself!) I suspect leopard spots are more of a milestone than an indicator of quality. It's like a sign that you're starting to get into the right ballpark of fermentation and/or heat.
The quantity, size, distribution, and appearance spots or lack thereof, particularly when taken in consideration with other factors but even on their own, can give you information on how the dough was mixed, gluten development/breakdown, over/under fermentation, handling during assembly, baking, etc.
How do you on one hand say that you don't see a connection between leoparding and quality and on the other say leoparding indicates you're getting your fermentation and/or heat right?
Can you elaborate on this, Craig? In your experience, what are the specific correlations between spot quantity/size/distribution and the dough mixing/gluten development/fermentation/handling? I have seen various theories put forth on this forum but most seem to offer a "one to several" correlation between a spotting pattern and potential causes.
Quite simple. In TASTING, I have not discerned a connection between leopard spot density/size and quality (other than degrees of "burnt" flavor). However since these are usually other peoples' pizzas I am not privy to their fermentation or heat specifications.I am aware however in my own experiments that fermentation and heat have bearing on leopard spots. I just can't make the final connection in my own experience with the quality of the finished pizza.
If anything it sounds like it should be a sign telling you to turn back or risk burnt flavor.
(That is not my pizza, it is from Craig's thread)
Most pizzaioli will tell you its just the result of cold dough.
Craig, taking your particular method of pizza-making as a basis (as explained on your thread) would you say a pizza which did not exhibit leopard spots to be indicative of a poor quality result and if so what aspects would you expect to be deficient (flavour, texture etc.)?

Louise Dirckx
May 27, 1928-March 25, 2013
MARSHALL – Mass of Christian Burial for Louise Dirckx, 84, of Marshall will be at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church. Visitation will be from 4-7 p.m. Monday at Rehkamp & Horvath Funeral Home in Marshall with a CCW rosary at 4 p.m. and a prayer service at 7 p.m. Visitation will continue from 9-10 a.m. Tuesday at the funeral home. Burial will be at Calvary Catholic Cemetery.
Louise died March 25, 2013, at the Prairie Home Hospice House in Marshall surrounded by her family.
Louise Neoma (Spitzer) Dirckx was born May 27, 1928, in Elkton, S.D., to Fred and Ruth (Davis) Spitzer. She grew up in Elkton and moved with her family to Tracy where she graduated valedictorian of her class. On Sept. 19, 1946, she was united in marriage to Edwin Dirckx at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church. Together, the couple raised their five daughters to value family and time spent together. Louise began her career in Marshall as a telephone operator for Northwestern Bell. She would eventually retire as their office manager. Her grandchildren will remember Grandma for her competitive card playing; knowing they always better play their cards right. Louise enjoyed spending time with friends and family at the casino pressing her luck. She cherished Christmas time, as it was a time for her entire family to come together. They treasured the crafts she would make for them and her homemade Christmas cookies. They also loved creating memories together at the lake in the summer; whether it was fishing, swimming or playing yard games. Above all, Louise was most passionate about spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She was a dedicated member of Holy Redeemer Catholic Church, where she was an active member of the Catholic Daughters. She also spent many hours volunteering for the hospital's thrift shop.
Louise's fun loving spirit will be missed by her daughter, Sharon (Jim) Babel of Glenwood; grandchildren, Nick and Sonny; daughter, Paulette (Pat) Dero of Lynd; grandchildren, Jed, Sarah, Aimee and Peter; daughter, Becky (John) Smith of McKinney, Texas; grandchildren, Ryan and Kristin; daughter, Deb (Dave) Stene of Sioux Falls, S.D.; grandchildren, Dani, Delanie, Dalee; daughter, Cindy (Mike) Welu of Milroy; grandchildren, Cody and Jenny; 13 great-grandchildren; sisters-in-law, Shirlee Bailey of Marshall, Gerri Kerkvliet of Bryant, S.D., Jean Dirckx of Marshall, Grace Spitzer of Omaha, Neb.; and nieces, nephews relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Edwin Dirckx; son-in-law, Richard; brothers, Ray and Roy (Edith); and sister, Marian.

For Lisa Shulman, M.D., and Bruce Polsky, CEO of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Press, creating the Neurology Now Books series has been a labor of love—and a way of fulfilling the Academy's mission to promote the highest quality patient-centered care. Each title is written with a team of experts who answer patients' most pressing questions. "We really want our books to be empowering," says Dr. Shulman, the series editor. "During my own growth as a physician, I realized that people with chronic illnesses—and most neurological illnesses are chronic—need to be actively involved in their care. When you think about it, how often is your doctor with you? That's why self-management is so important."
An offshoot of Neurology Now, the series will cover topics known to be of interest to Neurology Now readers. "We saw that migraine/headache, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease are three areas of high interest, so we have decided to cover those initially." Dr. Shulman also looks to the expertise of AAN members for inspiration. "For example, one member of the Academy is an expert in smell and taste disorders—both as a doctor and a patient—so our first book, coming out this summer, is called Take Your Doctor with You: Prescriptions for Problems with Smell and Taste by Ronald DeVere, M.D. It's really exciting—the book includes lots of recipes and food preparation tips."
In keeping with the patient focus, Dr. Shulman is open to ideas from readers. "What information do you need?" she asks. "What kinds of skills can we discuss that will help you be better manage life with a chronic illness?" Readers can e-mail ideas to firstname.lastname@example.com or mail a letter to: AAN Press, American Academy of Neurology, 1080 Montreal Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55116.

Optional Feature: Inline Heat Pump -
Something you might want to think about. If you relax in the whirlpool hot tub for an extended period of time, you'll notice that the water temperature will probably have dropped. That's because the water has to recycle through the jets, causing a decrease in warmth.
To keep the water temperature at a constant level, you might consider purchasing an additional heat pump. The pump will keep the water temperature consistent while the jets recycle.
The heat pump can be purchased for an additional charge of only $250. If you wish to purchase the heat pump, please choose "Yes" in the drop down menu near the "Add to Cart" button on the order form. About 95% or more of our customers buy heat pumps for their units.

Investors warm to futures as clearing looms
Half of global institutional investors plan to increase their use of futures contracts at the expense of the over-the-counter derivatives market, in the wake of regulations that will make it more costly to trade swap contracts, according to a survey by UBS.
The Swiss bank surveyed a wide range of investors, including hedge funds, pension funds and insurers, with 58% of respondents from the US.
UBS noted "a significant improvement" in attitudes towards using futures products markets as substitutes for OTC trades since its last buyside derivatives survey in March 2011.
Respondents cited lower capital and margin requirements, lower execution costs and better liquidity as potential reasons to switch to using listed futures products over OTC swaps.
The Dodd-Frank Act in the US will force buyside firms to clear most OTC derivative trades for the first time, with some exemptions granted to hedgers.
Clearing pushes up trading costs because firms must pay fees to independent central counterparties to guarantee trades, and also post margin against trades as a surety in case of default.
From March 11, the first set of buyside investors, which includes active fund managers and other institutional investors with sizable swap portfolios, will be required to clear their derivative trades conducted in the US.
Institutional investors face similar burdens in Europe under the European Market Infrastructure Regulation, or Emir.
The rise in costs could make hedging using futures products, which are already cleared as standard, more attractive to fund managers.
Under Basel III capitalisation rulings, futures trades will also attract lower capitalisation requirements on banks' balance sheets than OTC products. Just over a third, or 39%, of UBS respondents cited this is the most attractive reason to switch to using futures products instead of similar products in the OTC market.
UBS analyst Alex Kramm said the survey results underscored the revenue opportunity available to clearinghouse operators from OTC clearing. The bank reiterated its buy ratings for CME Group and InterContinental Exchange. For CME, interest rate swap clearing alone could be worth as much $500m in revenue opportunities over the medium term, Kramm said.
Kramm said: "We continue to believe that CME and Ice are well positioned to benefit significantly from the pending wholesale restructuring of the OTC derivatives market. While clearing of OTC swaps will likely represent the most visible upside, our survey clearly reiterates that other opportunities, such as futurisation, could drive even higher benefits."
CME Group is planning to roll out interest rate swap clearing in Europe this quarter, with local clearing for foreign exchange derivatives to follow. Yesterday meanwhile, OTC clearing giant LCH.Clearnet confirmed that it would launch buyside clearing for currency derivatives in both the US and Europe this quarter.


text: What does it do?Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble B vitamin that helps transform fats and proteins from foods into energy and works with folic acid to produce normal red blood cells. An adequate supply of vitamin B12 is also necessary for normal neurological function.How much do you need?The following table lists the recommended intake for healthy people based on current scientific information.What are the best food sources?Vitamin B12 is found naturally in animal-based foods, such as meat, fish, poultry, eggs and dairy foods. Particularly rich sources of vitamin B12 include shellfish, herring, sardines, trout and some game meats. Vegans and strict vegetarians can get B12 from some fortified foods, such as ready-to-eat cereals and meal replacements (e.g., bars and drinks).What happens if you don't get enough?Nutritional deficiency of this vitamin is rare among those under 50 years old because the human body can store several years' worth. However, when it does occur it causes pernicious anemia (also known as megaloblastic anemia), a condition in which the body fails to absorb B12 and becomes unable to produce enough healthy red blood cells. Symptoms include low counts of abnormally large red blood cells, fatigue, nerve damage, numbness and tingling of the extremities (e.g. fingers, toes), cognitive changes, a sore tongue or loss of appetite.Adults over 50 years old are often at risk of not getting enough vitamin B12. This may be because of a decrease in the production of stomach acid with age (which is needed to extract B12 from food) or malabsorption problems due to the presence of atrophic gastritis (a chronic inflammation that causes damage to the lining of the stomach and results in the body's inability to extract vitamin B12 from dietary proteins). Thus, adults over 50 years old are advised to consume foods fortified with vitamin B12 or a supplement containing B12, both of which are more available sources to this population. Consult with your physician if you are worried that this might be you.Individuals who follow a vegan or strict vegetarian diet (B12 is found in food from animals) and anyone with a digestive problem that impairs absorption of nutrients (e.g., celiac disease, Crohn's) are also at a higher risk of vitamin B12 deficiency. Consult your physician if you fall into one of these categories.What happens if you get too much?It's not likely that you will experience harmful effects from consuming too much vitamin B12, because your body can only absorb a small amount of the B12 you receive from foods and supplements. However, moderation is still the best approach, as studies have not specifically looked at the harmful effects of excess vitamin B12.

Ground Ivy
This article was published originally on 4/6/1994Ground ivy was one of the few plants that had ideal growing conditions in 1993. Needless to say, homeowners are trying to eliminate it this spring. Ground ivy (Glechoma hederacea) is an aggressive, low-growing, perennial invader of lawns, vegetable gardens, and flower beds. It thrives in moist, shady areas, as well as sunny locations. The scalloped leaves are round or kidney-shaped and are attached by petioles to square stems. Ground ivy roots at each joint whenever it touches the soil, thus making it difficult to hand pull. The small flowers are funnel shaped and bluish-purple in color.
Preemergence herbicides do not control ground ivy, accordingly, we are left with postemergence controls. The most effective control comes with the use of combination herbicides that contain the product dicamba. The best time to achieve good control is in the fall, from mid-September to early November. The next best time to control ground ivy is when it is just beginning to flower. This occurs towards the end of April. Two herbicide applications, spaced 10 to 14 days apart are usually necessary to achieve good control. Care must be taken when applying broadleaf herbicides in the spring. The succulent growth of sensitive broadleaf plants can easily be injured by spray drift or volatilization of broadleaf herbicides. Apply the products when winds are calm and when temperatures are below 85oF for a few days. With many broadleaf herbicides, it is necessary to wait 4 weeks or longer before reseeding. They cannot be used for controlling weeds in vegetable or flower gardens. Always read and follow label directions carefully when applying pesticides.
Many ground ivy infestations are too severe to control successfully through broadleaf herbicide applications. Complete renovation of an infested area is another alternative. Repeated tilling or an application of a non-selective herbicide product containing glyphosate will kill ground ivy. It may be necessary to treat the area twice with the glyphosate product before the weed is completely killed. Lawn seeding can be done 7 days after application. The best time to attempt lawn renovation is mid to late summer. Seeding should be completed before mid September.
Ground ivy, though difficult, can be successfully removed. Once you've gone through the work of eliminating it, good mowing, fertilization, and cultural practices will help keep it out of the lawn. In flower and vegetable gardens, keep a plant-free zone at the edge of the garden to allow for easy control of invasive weeds before they spread into desirable plantings.

2009 Menghai Dayi Bulang Mountain
I grabbed through my big box of samples and decided to give this one another shot. it seemed okay enough.
Anyways, the leaves were larger and more robust than the normal Dayi fare, and the flavor was a good bit better, which had mellowed a little in the about two years of age. Good cereal grain flavors and dark sweetness along with a 'clean' feeling after drinking it, which is something I don't come across in most of these young big factory sheng.
I'd consider buying this if I wasn't tied up buying smaller factory sheng that seems to be better for the money and better in terms of aging.

Topic: questions about validations
I am working on creating a new rails app for survey taking. This is an app for work and there are a set of questions that we normally ask every survey taker.
I am planning on storing all of these in their own table. Generally these questions fall into one of four groups and they are presented as a group on a page (i.e. this group of four on one page, this group of 8 on another page, etc).
Generally I will also need to validate these. If I set up validations for these in the Model, will Active Record require that they all be present (or whatever other rules are applied) with each submission?
In other words if I have rules for all 12 questions, but only submit 4 on this page, will AR throw an error that the other 8 questions aren't present when it validates?
I am trying to avoid javascript in this instance if possible. If AR isn't feasible is there another way?

David Akers (1975/88): The 1911-S is very comparable in overall rarity and condition rarity to the 1910-S. Below the gem (MS-65) level it is a decidedly common issue, and literally thousands of Mint State examples exist. In 1983, a hoard of several thousand examples of this issue was uncovered in Central America and many were of relatively high quality. The hoard also contained a number of gems. I have seen just a few pieces better than MS-65, none of which had anything close to the "eye appeal" of the best examples of 1908-S, 1910-S or even 1909-S.
The 1911-S is nearly always very sharply struck and the surfaces are finely granular and frosty. (I don't recall ever seeing a satiny one like the usual 1910-S.) Lustre is generally only average at best and often below average for the series. In fact, one is not likely to find a 1911-S with the lustre of the average 1910-S. Color is almost always very good; a light to medium orange gold color is standard.

Just been listening to this today - wow, what a record.
Think this is my new favourite John album behind Plastic Ono Band. For me it is a more complete work than Imagine.
Songs like the title track, Aisumen, You Are Here, Out The Blue are all just fantastic. And One Day at a Time.
Mind Games and Walls and Bridges always seem to be "forgotten" albums, wheraes the songs on Double Fantasy are more famous. Well, Mind Games kicks Double Fantasy's backside as far as I'm concerned.
Any thoughts, folks?

Commentary on:
Implications for practice and research
Maternal mental health should be routinely assessed in paediatric settings where the presenting problem is the infant.
The emergency department (ED) setting is an opportune place for the identification of postnatal depression (PND) and referral for support.
Study findings should be replicated in other ED settings, with more socioeconomically diverse samples and confirmed through the use of diagnostic interviews.
PND is a common mental health problem with community prevalence estimates internationally ranging between 8% and 20%.1 A large body of research demonstrates ongoing adverse impacts on the mother, her family and …

Never Buy, contaminated
Posted by 5516424499526048505 on Aug 02, 2015
I am shocked that this coconut sugar, although USDA certified Organic, is contaminated with lots of BLACK SPECKS that do not dissolve in water. These are some kind of contamination and may be bad for health if consumed. People who mixed it into baking ingredients will not be able to realize this problem because the dirty specks are very small. Hope I-Herb will not carry such sub standard products in future.
Out of curiosity
Posted by 5608931065043377749 on Mar 26, 2014
I tried this sugar as it became a kind of meme on several health conscious cooking blogs. But I wont reorder as I have a sweet tooth and found it wasn't sweet enough for my baking style.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Feb. 22, 2010) – USA Volleyball (USAV) has announced that it will host the Second Annual USAV Beach Collegiate Challenge on Saturday, April 17 at Will Rogers State Beach in Santa Monica, Calif.
The Collegiate Challenge, run in cooperation with the AVP, will have three separate divisions: The Collegiate Division, the Fours Exhibition and the AVP Seniors Division.
The Collegiate Division will be open to current NCAA and NAIA women's volleyball programs and will mimic the NCAA proposed sand volleyball format, while guaranteeing three to four matches per doubles team. There is no maximum or minimum number of pairs per school. Teams will be seeded according to NCAA rank and results of the 2009 AVP College National Championship and USAV Beach Collegiate Challenge. Entry is $25 per doubles team.
USAV will also offer a Fours Exhibition, for schools that have athletes who would like to participate and get some court time, but are not interested in doubles. Entry is $75 per fours team; roster size is limited to six athletes.
The new AVP Seniors Division is open to female athletes who have exhausted their NCAA or NAIA eligibility with their final playing season being between Fall 2007 and Fall 2009. Teams must be comprised of athletes who played at the same college or university. This will be a separate competition from the Collegiate Division, and teams can enter regardless of their institution's participation in the Collegiate Division. Entry is $25 per doubles team.
The USAV Beach Collegiate Challenge AVP Seniors Division champion will earn a spot in CBS College Sports Network's 2010 Alt Games Collegiate Beach Championships on May 1-2 in Santa Barbara, competing for $5,000 in prize money, an automatic bid into the AVP Huntington Beach Open (June 4-6). Athletes will receive a free day of coaching/training from AVP professionals on April 30. Players must pay their own transportation costs, but the AVP will provide one free hotel room for two nights at the AVP hotel. Both players must be from the same school and will represent their school in the draw.
A USAV High Performance Beach Tryout open to all athletes ages 14-25 will be held the following day, Sunday April 18. This is an official USA Volleyball National Team tryout. Collegiate players are eligible to participate during the school year and collegiate institutions may provide actual and necessary expenses related to participation in one tryout. For more information and the full USAV Beach High Performance Tryout schedule go to: http://usavolleyball.org/news/article/31588.
USAV will also host two Collegiate Spring Break Camps on March 24-26 and March 31-April 1 in Long Beach, Calif. These high-intensity sand volleyball training camps are intended for female collegiate volleyball athletes who hope to participate on NCAA and/or USAV sand teams, the AVP tour, and other elite beach programs. Each camp lasts three days and consists of a two-a-day training schedule led by USA Beach coaches Danalee Corso and Jon Aharoni. Athlete to coach ratio will be 8 to 1 or lower. Athletes may register as individuals. Camp tuition is $235 for current USAV members, $250 for non-members. Discounts are available for groups of six or more.

The Honorable Patrick Leahy, Chairman
The Honorable Chuck Grassley, Ranking Member
Senate Committee on the Judiciary
224 Dirksen Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510
The Honorable Richard Durbin, Chairman
The Honorable Lindsey Graham, Ranking Member
Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Human Rights
224 Dirksen Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510
Dear Chairmen Leahy and Durbin and Ranking Members Grassley and Graham:
We are writing to request that the Senate Judiciary Committee hold hearings this year on the need to amend the Constitution to remedy the damage done to our nation by the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission and related cases. That decision, along with prior and subsequent cases, have unleashed a flood of corporate and special interest money that threatens to undermine the integrity of our elections and our democracy.
In Citizens United, the Court ruled that corporations are guaranteed the same free speech rights as real people to influence elections, thereby ruling that governmental restrictions on corporate spending to influence elections are invalid and unconstitutional. As to that astounding principle, Justice Stevens noted in his dissent that the framers "had little trouble distinguishing corporations from human beings, and when they constitutionalized the right to free speech in the First Amendment, it was the free speech of individual Americans that they had in mind."
Congress may pass legislation to try to mitigate the effects of this decision, for example to provide for public disclosure of election expenditures. But such measures, while beneficial, cannot undo the harm done by the Court in Citizens United v. FEC. Only amending the Constitution can fully secure the American people's authority to regulate corporate influence in our elections and restore our democracy.
So far in the 112th Congress, there have been 13 constitutional amendment resolutions about this issue introduced in the House and Senate. While these resolutions vary in scope and approach, they all were introduced because of the growing realization that the problems created by Citizens United and related decisions are so immense and so fundamental that they can only be addressed through constitutional remedies.
Americans have become increasingly distressed at the toxic effects of unrestrained corporate and special interest money that is influencing our political system. Fully 92% of the American people believe that the extent of corporate influence on our political system is a problem. Just one month after the Citizens United decision, polling revealed that eighty percent of Americans opposed the ruling.
As activists have mobilized and protested across the country on the occasion of the second anniversary of the Court's decision, and as city and county councils and state legislatures take up and pass resolutions calling for amending the Constitution to reverse Citizens United, it is time for Congress to explore in earnest the range of resolutions that have been introduced to undo the harmful effects of the Court's decision.
We urge you to use this session of the 112th Congress to advance the very healthy and critical debate about how the Constitution should be amended to return our democracy to the people.

The knighted English sculptor Sir Anthony Caro has completed two projects at Tyler Graphics. He was born in England in 1924, and after completing his studies at the Royal Academy Schools in London, became Henry Moore's assistant. Moore's influence saw Caro begin to work in an Abstract, Modernist manner and he continued to develop this style throughout his career. Caro's sculptures are usually executed on a large scale, but his oeuvre also includes a variety of small works, including those made at Tyler Graphics.
In 1982 Caro created a series of 124 paper relief sculptures, and he returned in 1993 to complete a further series of 35 paper sculptures. In collaboration with Kenneth Tyler and other workshop staff, Caro created these sculptures from paper pulp, plaster, and other materials. The resulting works are delicate explorations of the sculptural qualities of Tyler's unique handmade papers. They provide a stark contrast to Caro's usual work in steel and other industrial materials.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - If you tuned into Sunshine Network Thursday night and caught John Tortorella's news conference after the Lightning's 4-1 loss to the Senators, you would have heard some salty language.
The Lightning coach was emphasizing a few points concerning Tampa Bay's sixth consecutive game without a victory and a couple of expletives leaked out. (No F-bombs, thank you.)
Sunshine general manager Cathy Weeden said it is one of the perils of covering events live.
"It's the emotion you get," she said Saturday. "Certainly we don't go into carrying a press conference anticipating that's going to happen. But from time to time it does, and the viewers are savvy enough to understand that's part of it."
Still, in a bleep-happy world, anytime things get colorful, eyebrows are raised.
Weeden said she has not received any complaints, and Sunshine will continue to carry Tortorella's postgame briefings.
"We don't think we should steer away from showing things live," she said. "There's much more benefit in showing that emotion."
TRAVEL WOES: The Lightning stayed overnight in Buffalo because of the snow storm in New York, where Tampa Bay faces the Rangers at 5 p.m. today. The team planned a 10 a.m. flight.
"We can't feel sorry for ourselves," Tortorella said. "This is the NHL. It's a dog fight every night. If you're not ready to play, you have no chance. I don't care if we get in at 4 o'clock and get our skates on to play. We need to be ready to play hard."
MOVIN' ON OUT: As defenseman Dan Boyle was being attended to on the ice after sustaining a second-period concussion, Tortorella had words with a fan behind the Lightning bench. Team spokesman Jay Preble said the fan was removed at Tampa Bay's request.
GOALIE GOAL: He didn't shoot it into the net, but Brian Eklund, a goaltender for ECHL Pensacola, a Lightning affiliate, was credited with a goal in Friday night's 5-4 shootout loss to Mississippi.
"It's surreal to say the least," Eklund said.
The play occurred in the first period with the Mississippi net empty on a delayed penalty. A misplaced Sea Wolves pass went in. Eklund was credited as the last Pensacola player to touch the puck.
"I'd rather it be me shooting it in to score my first goal but you take it any way you can," he said. "I can make up a nice elaborate story when I tell my kids."
ODDS AND ENDS: Wing Chris Dingman, who played his 300th NHL game, has two game misconducts. One more and he gets an automatic game suspension. ... Tampa Bay recalled center Martin Cibak from AHL Hershey. ... Backing into the Sabres parking lot, the Lightning's bus scraped the front a car owned by Buffalo goalie Mika Noronen.

Topic: how to use Rails NumberHelper methods on client-side?
I'd like to very strongly hint at the acceptable format of some of my textfields by 'prepopulating' them with indicative characters when the user enters the fields. So, with some effort I could devise javascripts that populate textfields with '%' or currency signs or separate digits with commas. Yet, these are all things that Rails' NumberHelper will do on the server-side. Ideally, I could just call those utilities on the client-side. Any suggestions on how to do this or otherwise accomplish my task using existing resources?

Apart from the certification itself, the system offers an advanced e-learning programme that has elements of modern teaching, such as milestones, motivational tools and skills verification. Continuous formative assessments will help to determine candidates' understanding of the given subject – indicating whether they should move on to the next chapter or revisit the current – to maximise their chance of obtaining a valuable certification that can be translated into success on the job market. The e-learning platform will be offered free of charge to candidates. Organisations will also be able to utilise the e-learning and curriculum provided, allowing them to create training courses. These organisations will also benefit from a reduced test fee. The e-learning platform will gradually be made available free of charge to training companies and institutions. Any organisation interested in employing the platform is invited to contact the C++ Institute and apply.
Christopher Boguslawski, President at C++ Institute, said: "We're very excited to offer the programme to skilled professionals. Working with Pearson VUE to ensure global exam delivery means that programmers around the world can improve their careers and lives through relevant certification. A reward at the end of an educational process is very important in any field. An integral part and the driving force of the programme is a discount voucher of up to 70% which can be used against the exam fee. This is a reward for each successful course taker."
Matthew Poyiadgi, Managing Director EMEA, Pearson VUE, commented: "The IT industry continues to lead the way in harnessing the many benefits of computer-based testing and certification. The C++ Institute's decision to launch this certification programme demonstrates its commitment to driving the industry forward with the provision of talented, certified professionals."
