The Polished Pitbull
Our Adoptable Pet List
Our Featured Pet...
Who We Are
The Polished Pitbull, a pitbull-only rescue in the Philadelphia suburbs
We are a dedicated group of pitbull lovers in the Philadelphia area. Our goal is to take temperamentally-sound dogs and find them great homes. We teach our dogs basic obedience skills and have a wonderful relationships with trainers throughout the area who can help with any issues such as jumping, counter surfing, leash walking. We need adopters and the public alike to have a better understanding of pitbull and pitbull mix dogs. There is way too much misinformation out there! Unscrupulous people are using them as a cash-crop, for illegal dog-fighting and gambling. It wasn't always this way. Back in the day, Petey of the Little Rascals, a happy pitbull in the neighborhood, is a dog we all (most of us) remember! We are NOT a shelter. If you are thinking of surrendering your pitbull to a shelter and your dog is a people-loving pitbull, please think twice. Every urban shelter in the United States is full of pitbulls; most of them are euthanized due to lack of space. 2000-3000 a DAY are killed in shelter throughout the US. Many will ONLY euthanize pitbulls and are NOT rescue-friendly, so please consider this carefully before you take that final step. For tips on rehoming your dog, please check www.badrap.org. On a
case by case basis, we consider owner-surrenders who are kid-friendly and dog-social.
Adopting an orphan doggie
Adoption Policy:
You must be at least 23 years of age. Sorry, but the younger you are, the more you like to move around and this is not a good situation for most dogs and they end up, back with the rescue.
Fill out an application and after we review the application, we will visit you in your home with the dog you are interested in. We like to take a walk together; sit around and chat and see if this is a good fit for you and for the dog.
Show solid references, including your veterinarian and friends who can vouch for you.
Landlord approval, if renting. If you own your home, we need to see a good environment for the dog, which in most cases, means a solid 6 foot fence. Hey, these are terriers! They like to jump. However, not having a fenced yard does not eliminate you as a potential adoption candidate. We DO need to know however, how your dog will get the required exercise that he/she needs. If you already have a dog and are looking for a companion dog, we definitely want to see a fenced yard.
. Have a clear understanding of what is involved with adopting and owning a pitbull type of dog. This is not the breed for everyone, but for the ones that do own them…well, as they say, once you go pit, you don't quit!
Everyone in your household must agree to the adoption. That's right, all of you.
Sign a legally binding adoption agreement.
Our adoption fee is $150.
All adoptions start as a two week 'trial' sleepover.
Note: All dogs are spayed/neutered and up-to-date on shots; Adoptions are most successful between opposite-sex pairings. This is our preference. We like our dogs to do a two week SLEEPOVER, to start with. This ensures a good fit for you and the dog.

I get that too once in awhile. It's the most irritating thing ever.. Other people in the match move around and everything but your input is completely dead. Ugh that sucks when you've got a good flank, you freeze and miss a golden opportunity. I feel your pain.
yeah im guessing its like when you put a few semi rifle rounds to someone but then your body froze and the target just walk away?
yeah... i know what ya mean
or even the part where the whole body freezes until someone walk behind your character and just shoot point blank to the head without us able to do anything XC

My test results: http://www.speedtest.net/result/2865886170.png
It hasn't happened lately, maybe a few nights ago for a moment but it went away. Had a few days in a row of it being really bad where I just stopped trying to play. I assume a lot of people in the neighborhood were using cable as well, maybe someone connected wirelessly at the time. I'm connected to the modem directly.
That's the major drawback of DOCSIS, just like in most shared media technologies.
Re: MP Freezing Problem
okay so i just finished playing about 19 matches in a row in multiplayer, back on last of us
anyways as always this is my net speed
now here's the testing that i tried to do. everytime i start searching, the first match i start say, the first match whenever i start the game is always the least freeze issue.
but afterwards.... it all went to hell. like say the first match i only freeze for a few seconds, the second match starts freezing say about 2 mins in total, the next match can be like 4 mins straight (yeah 4 mins standing in place, even when i respawn its still frozen). i restart the game and search the match again and the first match only freeze a few seconds as usual, and the next match the freeze goes longer duration
sometimes i get really lucky when searching new game again where i got a good signal and never froze at all in the middle of the game. sometimes i win sometimes i lose,maybe the match making system need to be able to match people with the same connection speed or something. I dunno i have no idea how it works but at the matches where i never froze, other people have like the same connection speed like me, like 2 bars in the pause screen
I noticed i froze even less when i decided not to connect facebook to the last of us multiplayer, it help a lot, if some of you have freeze issue try disconnecting facebook. it doesnt assure you to not freeze at all but its worth a try
the weird thing is i froze in place whenever someone approaches me, usually enemies. but i didnt even fire a single shot or spotted him yet. im guessing its a proximity to certain players that froze me
oh and here's a screenshot on the signal strength on one of the matches
as you can see my signal is way up compared to the others, considering i only have 1 mbps thats a miracle....but i still froze in the match even though only for like 10 seconds and the other player doesnt seem to have a problem or frozen at all
any idea why?
Re: MP Freezing Problem
Ignore the bars next to your name. They mean nothing.
It's like doing this in command line:
ping -t 127.0.0.1
The only reason you freeze is because you have 0.15 Mbps upload.
Re: MP Freezing Problem
**bleep** all my isp speed even though its 6 mbps only has 0.15 upload speed
i should test the speed net at my friends house again. if he is also only 0.15 upload speed but i can still play then there's something else
Re: MP Freezing Problem
The freeze isnt a velocity problem, I have 1 MB and I have the freeze but my friend that live next to me not, and we have the same internet.
How we can play then? A patch?

I remember my first department store makeup counter experience. That was all I wanted for Christmas in 8th grade, a makeover. My mom took me by myself, a real treat to go somewhere without my sister (Sorry Ruthie). I really, really wanted Clinique. That is what my mom uses to this day. I remember how much I loved her green and white swirled compacts. I lusted after her eyeshadows and lipsticks in their silver cases. I knew what Bonus Time was and I wanted my free gift with purchase.
There we were at Hess's, now known as The Bon Ton, ready to shop. The Clinique lady wasn't there. Not a single white lab coat in sight. I was so bummed out. My mom and I made a special trip for this and I was determined to leave that store with my face done. So I sat in a chair at Lancôme. A love affair with makeup began.
I admit, I have been a makeup snob. Revlon? L'oreal? Easy Breezy Beautiful Covergirl? No way. Not good enough for me. Bobbi Brown, Chanel, Burberry. That's my jam. Especially when it comes to foundation. No way would any drug store anything be a good enough product or the right color match. Then I discovered Jaclyn Hill and she was raving about this L'oreal Lumi Cushion foundation. Jaclyn really knows her stuff. She worked for MAC and has over a million youtube subscribers. If Jaclyn says buy it, I would buy it. So I marched right into Duane Reade and threw down $16 for a drug store foundation.
Consider me converted. Run, don't walk to CVS or Wallgreens or whatever they have in the 'burbs and get this. Return your half used, expensive stuff to Sephora and don't look back. Tip – they aren't kidding about it being Lumi, I use a powder with this to cut down the shine a tad. But seriously. It lasts all day. It looks like skin. I even did a test. I did half my face in Lumi (one coat to cover) and half my face in Makeup Forever (3 coats to cover!) and my office mates chose the Lumi.

"The grossest thing that one of my bandmates has done was our keyboard player CJ laid a huge fart in front of me to wake me up in the morning. I was roused by a familiar flavor that smells stinky but a little bit like the pizza everybody ate at catering last night."
"The grossest thing that I've ever done? Scooped my cell phone out of the toilet which hadn't been flushed yet..."

Website is something that is mandatory nowadays – no matter whether it's a business website or personal blog. You will need a website to make yourself publicize in the internet. A website is your online visiting card which can explain lots of things you do like service or any commissioned work. But there are many things that have to be kept in mind and have to be followed no matter what type of website you are creating. In other words, we can say these steps cannot be avoided.
Image: about.com
The small things which count:
Making a website is a very simple work and that can be done in few minutes. But there are many several things that have to be decided because these little things may be very effective in the future. You might think these might be changed in the future as learning process happens. But that's not how it works. Here are few things that have to be concentrated on before starting a new website.
The Design:
Design is the most important part of a website, the final result the which the audience see. This is an incredibly important part for the beginning stage of a website. For example, test yourself by searching something on Google and click on the desired result.
There you can see how well the design is and the better the design, the faster the loading of the website. Design also includes navigation. If you can find things easier and quickly, it means that the website is designed perfectly from all perspective.
But designing a website is not a cheap thing. Well established companies might hire designers and do theirs. But as beginners, what you must do is to check the design and layout of some of the famous website and make yours look like that. But copying the same thing might end you with a problem.
This part requires lots and lots of homework researching the best design that suits your website and of course, it has to be related to what you do.
Marketing Strategy:
Marketing is the base. This will be required when your website is all up. But you might think who will look at your website. There are several ways to drive traffic to your website like SEO and many more which requires lots of research and learning.
The easiest way to drive traffic to your website is through marketing. Social websites like Twitter, Google+, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, etc. plays a vital role during the beginning of your website. No matter what type of website you have or what type of website you are planning to create. Good content + Social marketing will boost your website. You might think this might be a lame method, but the truth is that there are many website that follow this strategy as their main strategy.
There might be other methods which might provide good traffic but might not be a god investment. But social marketing isn't that kind. Every minute you invest in this is going to pay off in the future.
Creating social media pages/Accounts in every social media websites can attract many users to your website. But applying various marketing strategies might be time consuming. There are various tools and websites that can take care of these.
A website design will make a visitor decide whether to stay or not to. If it's good, it will create trust among the users because it lets people find what they want easily and quickly. Meanwhile marketing is the other hand, is one of the strategy. But this is not the only way. With little bit of research, it possible to find anything on the internet!
We recommend checking the video below on how to create a website:

Chinese fire on Tibetan protest, 1 dead - advocacy group
Chinese troops fired on thousands of Tibetans protesting in southwestern Sichuan province on Monday, killing at least one and wounding more, two overseas advocacy groups said.
Free Tibet, a London-based group that campaigns for Tibetan self-determination, said the protesting Tibetans gathered at an intersection in Luhuo, about 590 km (370 miles) west of Sichuan's capital of Chengdu, and marched on government offices, where security forces opened fire about midday.
The Tibetans were protesting about arrests earlier in the day in connection with the distribution of pamphlets carrying the slogan Tibet Needs Freedom and declaring that more Tibetans were ready to stage self-immolations to challenge Chinese rule, the group said in an emailed statement.
One resident -- a 49-year-old Tibetan man called Yonten -- was shot dead by government forces and another 30 or so residents were injured, said Free Tibet.
Another advocacy group, the International Campaign for Tibet, said three people were killed and about nine injured when police fired into the crowd in Luhuo, which is called Drango or Draggo by Tibetans.
Others were injured in the crackdown, including through beatings by police, following the dissemination of leaflets in Drango saying that Tibetans should not celebrate New Year due to the self-immolations and situation in Tibet, Kate Saunders, the London-based communications director for the International Campaign, said in an emailed statement that cited several unnamed sources.
This year the main Tibetan traditional new year celebrations begin on February 22.
Due to fears for their safety, Tibetans who were injured are unable to seek treatment at the local government-run hospital, said the International Campaign for Tibet.
Chinese security forces have been on edge after 16 incidents of self-immolation by ethnic Tibetans over the last year in response to growing resentment of Beijing's controls on religion. Some have called for the return of the Dalai Lama, their exiled Buddhist leader.
The mountainous western part of Sichuan province where the recent unrest has been concentrated is dominated by ethnic Tibetans and lies next to the official Tibetan Autonomous Region.
The reports could not be immediately verified. A staff member of the county public security bureau said he was not aware of any incident.
There's nothing happening. I don't know about anything, he said, before hanging up.
The two advocacy groups said Tibetans from nearby areas were continuing to converge on Luhuo on Monday.
China's Foreign Ministry has branded the self-immolators terrorists and has said the Dalai Lama, whom it condemns as a supporter of violent separatism, should take the blame.

music 16 Songs That Don't Mean What You Think They Do f p @
1.5M views 16 items Follow Embed
Here's a list of songs whose meanings we completely miss because we either don't listen to lyrics properly or we just take the song at face value, ignoring any origins or intent of the artist. Or we just don't even realize what the lyrics really are. Then, one day, your world breaks down. The real meanings of these popular songs will shock you.
Everything you knew and loved about these songs is about to turn out to be a lie because that songs you thought were innocent and sweet are often actually about the opposite. Think "Born in the USA" is a patriotic anthem? Think again.
Hopefully, learning the truth about these popular songs doesn't shatter your world too much, though it will certainly make you think twice at the next karaoke night.

Hopefully, learning the truth about these popular songs doesn't shatter your world too much, though it will certainly make you think twice at the next karaoke night.
The Ice Cream Truck Song
That utterly American ice cream truck song you thought meant "hey kids, come enjoy a cold treat on this fine sunny day!" actually has some of the most racist lyrics in the history of music. Recorded for Columbia records 1916, the melody is from a song called "N**** Loves a Watermelon Ha Ha Ha" by a terrible man named Harry C Brown. Here's a sampling of the lyrics:
You N***** quit throwing them bones and come down and get your ice cream
Ice cream?
Yes, colored man's ice cream: watermelon!
N***** loves a watermelon ha ha ha
N***** loves a watermelon ha ha ha
For here they're made with a half a pound of cool
there's nothing like a watermelon for a hungry coon.
Brown Sugar by The Rolling Stones
Many an unsuspecting singer chooses "Brown Sugar" for karaoke and balks at the lyrics as they appear on the screen. Somehow (we don't know how) they typically understand what this song is about, even though the story is right in the lyrics. It's used in some daytime TV commercials and places all around in this fun, light-hearted manner when it is quite literally a song about slave rape.
This song isn't a love tribute to a beloved African American woman and it is most definitely not something about the sweetener that brings us all chocolate chip cookies. This song is about white plantation owners raping their African slaves.
Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in a market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver knows he's doing alright
Hear him with the women just around midnight.
Ah, brown sugar how come you taste so good?
Brown sugar, just like a young girl should
Tutti Frutti by Little Richard
You probably heard this song a lot as a kid and didn't think much of it. Well, give this record a spin and really listen to the lyrics - you'll realize that the song is all kinds of rough. Not only is it about some guy getting it on with multiple girls - Sue and Daisy - they both "know what to do" (so they're very experienced), and they all drive him crazy.
Also, the repeated hook of "Tutti frutti, aw rooty" was not the original lyrics of the song, before it got picked up to be recorded. When performing live, Little Richard sang the following:
Tutti Frutti, good booty / If it don't fit, don't force it / You can grease it, make it easy.
The lyrics were then changed in studio to "Tutti Frutti, all rooty" (all rooty was slang at the time for "alright") so that the rest of the song didn't make sense, making it more marketable. Yes, that's right. The song you most likely danced to like an idiot when you were three and didn't know better was really... much more adult.
This memorable '90s track is about a bar at closing time, right? RIGHT? No. No, it's about something else entirely.
According to Dan Wilson, Semisonic lead singer, it's about being "bounced from the womb." As in, your mama's belly. In the above video he points out a lot of lyrics that make you go, "oh, yeah, I guess it is about the birth of a baby." For instance: "This room won't be open till your brothers and your sisters come."

Like a Virgin by Madonna
"Like a Virgin" isn't about a sensitive girl, and is, in fact, not about a girl at all. Lyricist Billy Steinberg explained in an interview with the LA Times that he did not intend for a woman to sing the song, and that the song was about his personal experiences of going through the emotional ringer in the past, and how he felt new and unhurt the next time he fell in love, as if he had never been hurt before. Like a virgin.
I was beat, incomplete
I'd been had, I was sad and blue
But you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
Shiny and new
Says Steinberg, "I was saying ... that I may not really be a virgin – I've been battered romantically and emotionally like many people – but I'm starting a new relationship and it just feels so good, it's healing all the wounds and making me feel like I've never done this before, because it's so much deeper and more profound than anything I've ever felt."
There She Goes by Sixpence Nonethericher
This is actually a cover of a song by British rock band The La's from their eponymous album. Although the song initially seems to be about a woman, if you look closely at the lyrics, the "she" in question is actually heroin and the song tells of the rush of using the drug and how fleeting the high is.
There she goes again
Racing through' my brain
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains
There she blows
There she blows again
Pulsing through' my vein
And I just can't contain
This feelin' that remains
Additionally, the song has stylistic similarities to The Velvet Underground's "There She Goes Again," a song with overt references to prostitution and potentially references to drug abuse, as well.
My Sharona by The Knack
We all probably know that "My Sharona" is about sex or trying to get laid, but how about sex with underaged girl? Maybe not. In the tradition of "Young Girl" by Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, the song is about a man's serial lust for a girls several years his junior.
In this case, the song is about Doug Fieger, the band's drummer, and his relationship with Sharona Alperin, who he met when he was 25 and she was 16. They dated for four years and she appears on the single's cover. Nevertheless, the lyrics are quite raunchy and rather uncouth in kinder circles:
Such a dirty mind, always get it up
For the touch of the younger kind...
When you gonna give it to me
Give it to me
It's just a matter of time Sharona
As far as songs about underaged sex go, though, "My Sharona" takes the cake... And robs the cradle?
Born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen
Only The Boss could make an anti-war song sound like a jingoistic rock anthem that most people use as a pro-America anthem. The song narrative follows a working class American who gets into some trouble at home, so he goes to Vietnam to fight in the war. When he returns, he is unable to find work and is shunned by the community at large, kind of like in real life.
Springsteen's lyrics and message were so cleverly masked, that Ronald Reagan's staff tried to get the song to be the official song for his re-election campaign (which is exactly how well they did their research), but The Boss politely declined, as he did not support Ronald Reagan at all.

We said our good-byes and look forward to our next visit. They have a wonderful and close family. It is such a pity that they are so cut off from other brethren. She will likely not be able to go to any Feast this coming fall. She is looking forward to the other Karen family that is a member of the Church to come to Norway so she'll have someone to talk to
Before leaving I gave our prospective visit in Oslo a call to see about meeting later this afternoon. He had read my email from the night before and already arranged for us to have dinner at his home and told us that he had made arrangements to spend the night as well. Things are moving along TOO well on this trip.
Friday morning we will travel on to to Sweden. Gothenburg is only three and a half hours away by train.
Our taxi driver Karl Roland picked us up promptly at 7:30 am. We really like his personable nature. Again, the taxi meter is intere$ting. After we load up our luggage, the meter starts at $11 dollars. What's it going to cost to the train station this time? Bruce has a non-stop conversation going with him. Bruce is really great on this trip. He is able to carry on talking with people which helps me out me out a lot. With my having to keep the trip going with calls ahead, making sure that our visits are helpful, writing, etc. Bruce has been most helpful about engaging the people we visit in discussion.
Back to the taxi
We got on the train to Oslo. This was the busiest train that we've been on. The conductor was a bit chagrined that we did not get reservations and just used our Scanrail pass. He gave us a special place to sit because most of the seats were already reserved.
The scenery that I saw at twilight coming up was truly spectacular in the full sunlight. It started snowing and it feels like it's January and certainly not June.
We pass through famous towns like Lillehammer where the Winter Olympics was held. Lillehammer is on the north end of Lake Mjosa, the largest lake in Norway. Our trained screamed down the 100 mile home stretch of our journey to Oslo. Once we arrived in Oslo we quickly found the half hour train to Asker and our visit with Jacob. We arrived in Asker, succumbed to an ice cream cone. Up pulled up Jacob and we went quickly to his home.
When we arrived a full Mexican dinner was waiting for us
Tomorrow our plan is to take the train to Gothenburg but we see that the 9 am train is no longer on the schedule. We really need to get to Gothenburg to see the Olson's and Saxin's and spent about an hour trying to figure out a better way than train to get there. It looks like we will be taking the bus at 9:15. We'll see how this works.
Ellen let us use her home as our rest area for the night. It's nice and bright here at 11 pm and it 's hard to turn in, but 5 am will come early enough and we better get some rest.
Tomorrow: Sweden!

Percy had left just before the girl woke up and Chiron trotted up next to me. When the girl did wake up she looked startled at Chiron and he just walked away. I watched him walk away then smiled at the girl.
"Welcome to Camp Half-Blood." I said
"Camp What?"
"Half-Blood." I said. Goodness I wasn't really used to explaining something like this. "Can you walk?" She nodded and got out of bed. Together we walked out of the big house and saw Chiron talking with Percy and Annabeth. They turn when they heard us coming.
"That's Percy" I said pointing at the darked haired boy. Percy waved "That's Annabeth." Annabeth smiled then I pointed to Chiron the white centar "and that's Chiron the activities director." the girl looked around not sure what to think. "I'm Jenna."
"What's your name?" Annabeth asked

Israeli and Palestinian negotiators agreed to extend a temporary ceasefire in Gaza by 24 hours on Monday night, as talks in Cairo struggled to secure a long-term deal to end the six-week conflict.
Long negotiations ended late on Monday night with the Palestinian delegation claiming the two sides were still some way from an agreement, and hinting that the ceasefire would not be extended again if a lasting truce still could not be finalised on Tuesday.
"Until now there is no progress," said Azzam al-Ahmad, the chief Palestinian negotiator, as the previous five-day ceasefire ended at midnight. "There are hidden voices who are trying to put obstacles in our way. We have agreed on an extension for another day – just one day. Whether we agree or not, just one day."
Negotiators spent Sunday and Monday conducting indirect talks mediated by Egyptian intelligence officers, but failed to reach agreement about a draft treaty proposed by Egyptian officials on Sunday.
According to leaks, the outline agreement included the opening of crossings between Israel and Gaza, the import of construction materials under international supervision, and the expansion of the permitted fishing zone to 12 miles over a period of six months.
The demand for a seaport was reportedly agreed in principle, but detailed discussions have been deferred for at least a month. There was no mention of a parallel Palestinian demand to rebuild and reopen an international airport in Gaza.
A Palestinian demand for the release of dozens of Hamas members arrested by Israel over the past few months was also deferred.
Israel wants the disarmament of Hamas and other militant groups in Gaza as well as the return of the remains of two soldiers killed in fighting which Hamas is believed to be holding. All Palestinian factions say the demilitarisation of Gaza is not up for negotiation. But Hamas publicly claims it is ready to share power in Gaza with the Palestinian Authority, which currently runs the West Bank.
The war in Gaza, which began on 8 July, is the most intense of three conflicts in the past five and a half years, with massive destruction of homes, mosques, schools and hospitals, and the shelling of six UN premises being used to shelter people who had fled the fighting.
The Palestinian death toll on Monday stood at 2,016, including 541 children. More than 10,000 people have been injured and around 17,000 homes destroyed or severely damaged.
Israel has lost 64 soldiers in fighting, including five killed by friendly fire. Three civilians – two Israelis and a Thai agriculture worker – were killed by rockets launched from Gaza.
Robert Serry, the UN's most senior official for the Middle East, told the security council on Monday that "the volume of reconstruction will be about three times" what it was after the 2008-9 Gaza conflict. The scale of destruction and corresponding humanitarian needs were unprecedented, he said.
"Reconstruction of the magnitude which is now needed can only be addressed with the involvement at scale of the Palestinian Authority and the private sector in Gaza, meaning larger quantities of materials are required to enter Gaza."
On Monday, Egypt promised to host a donors' conference in Cairo to help raise money for Gaza's reconstruction, once a lasting ceasefire is eventually brokered.

Nuclear ribosomal sequences (ITS) were used to study species boundaries and to infer phylogenetic patterns in wild rosemaries (Rosmarinus officinalis, R. eriocalyx, R. tomentosus). Intragenomic polymorphisms (overlapping peaks and in some cases unreadable sequences) were found throughout the sequencing electrophoretograms of most Rosmarinus accessions. Sequencing the cloned ITS products from representative individuals resulted in 25 ribotypes differing at 59 variable sites. Average sequence divergence among clones was 1.75%, and the most divergent sequences differed by 3.48%. No single ribotype was shared between any two-paired species. The highest values of intragenomic divergence were similar in R. officinalis (1.63%) and R. eriocalyx (1.14%–2.12%), and contrast with those shown by R. tomentosus (0.97%). Sequence data suggest that most divergent rDNA sequences within individuals belong to paralogous loci that apparently are not pseudogenes. A detailed inspection of direct and cloned sequences does not show evidence that the intragenomic polymorphism found is due to interspecific hybridization. Phylogenetic analyses of cloned sequences suggested that both R. officinalis and R. tomentosus were monophyletic, whereas R. tomentosus clones were nested within a paraphyletic R. eriocalyx.

Matt, I was going through some old messages and found this one. I have the
white prickly poppy ending its bloom now and I bet there are some white
seeds. The yellow is just coming into bloom so I'll expect seed in a few
months. I could send you some seed of the white if you'd like.

HUMANS are as smart as they are ever going to get because our brains may have
reached the limits of intelligence, research suggests.
Scientists have said that even the cleverest people might not get any brighter
because our grey matter has stopped evolving.
And it is all down to physics. The structure of our brain and how much energy
it uses are key to the theory.
One part of the theory is that boffins reckon brain cells cannot get much
smaller than they are now meaning there will not be any more
space for more of them.
It is also thought the number of connections between brain cells cannot
increase much more because of the amount of energy they consume. Research
has shown that the better connected the parts of the brain the higher a
person's IQ.
Another part is the amount of energy used by our brain cells. The brain only
accounts for two per cent of a person's body weight but
uses 20 per cent of our overall energy.
This means if we got any smarter by having more brain cells or
connections between them the impact on our body's power supply
would be immense.
Simon Laughlin, professor of neurobiology at Cambridge University, said: "We
have demonstrated that brains must consume energy to function and that these
requirements are sufficiently demanding to limit our performance and
determine design."
And Ed Bullmore, professor of psychiatry at Cambridge, said: "You pay a price
for intelligence.
"Becoming smarter means improving connections between different brain areas
but this runs into tight limits on energy, along with space for the wiring."
In the future, it could even be possible that humans will DEVOLVE.
Prof Laughlin thinks brain evolution could go into reverse if human
circumstances change for example if there were a shortage of
He said: "The fact that brains both expand and contract during evolution shows
that the optimum balance changes with circumstances."

I'm not seeing the complete sequence in your filter code, or even a redirect. Should be something like: doFilter(){ MyRequestWrapper reqWrapper = new MyRequestWrapper(servletRequest); MyResponseWrapper respWrapper = new MyResponseWrapper(servletResponse); MyUserObj clientUser = MyUserObj.getValidUser( servletRequest ) ; if ( ( clientUser == null ) || ( clientUser.invalid() ) ) servletResponse.sendRedirect( "myLoginPage.jsp" ) ; else { chain.doFilter(reqWrapper, respWrapper); respWrapper.addCookie(NAME, encrypt(myobj)); } } Obviously I'm not familiar with the exact API of your code, but you get the idea. If the cookie isn't present or invalid, send a redirect to the login page. Otherwise chain on to the next step in the request process. --David Mani Balasubramani wrote: >Chris, > >This is the complete sequence > >1)User goes to a URL (say www.some-partner-site.com) >2)He selects our app link from there which redirects him to our site >(www.paybytouch.com) >3)Filter is applied on all url's >4)The filter has a wrapper class for both request and response. >5)The doFilter calls a servlet which checks if the user is authenticated >6)If the user is not authenticated, he is redirected to a login page >(say www.paybytouch.com/login) >7)Once the user is authenticated, the servlet returns to the filter >which then creates a cookie and the reponse is sent back to the users's >browser. > > >What happens is that the login page is never displayed.

At Monsanto, we're all about sustainable solutions. That's why we're committed to getting the public involved in a global conversation about the methods we're using in order to help grow enough food for a growing world. Ask your own questions regarding anything from honey bee health, GMOs, to sustainability in agriculture and more.
Whether it's in soybean or cotton, the Roundup Ready® Xtend Crop System will utilize herbicide-tolerant trait technologies to help maximize yield potential, weed control and quality.
In December 2015, Monsanto announced a first-of-its-kind program to introduce a model for carbon neutral crop production that will help reduce the carbon footprint of crop production.
Sustainability is a journey that presents a constant but welcome challenge: how can we push ourselves to achieve even more? How do we feed a growing planet in a changing climate?
We work to help farmers produce food in a sustainable way. We think holistically about how our food is grown so farmers have the tools they need to have better harvests - to make a plate of meats, grains, fruits and vegetables within reach for every family.
In India today, many children, living near our business partners' fields in rural areas of the Karnataka, Gujarat and Gadwal regions, spend most of their time in school, engaged in lessons. A few years ago, at least 20 percent of those same children would have spent the entire day walking cotton fields.
Child labor is a social and cultural issue in India, and many people residing in rural locations of the country consider it an acceptable practice."Instead of sending their children to school, some parents prefer their children to work on farms to earn money to contribute to the family's livelihood," said Mella Radha Madhav, Monsanto's human rights lead in India. Most of the agricultural operations in India are manual, labor-intensive processes. Growers recruit child workers to replace the dwindling adult workforce, which is steadily migrating from rural villages to larger cities in hopes of better opportunities. Typically, parents who allow their children to work in fields daily did not attend school themselves. "The growers or workers often see the short-term benefit of their child earning an additional income for the family and fail to see the long-term disadvantages of a lack of education on a child's life," said Madhav. From 2005-2011, Monsanto led efforts that reduced the incidence of child labor for our business partners in India significantly from 20 percent to less than one-half of 1 percent (0.5%). After Monsanto acquired additional business partners in hybrid cotton seed in 2011, the number of growers in India increased by nearly 10,000. Many of the new growers had not planned sufficiently to secure enough adult labor for pollination, which led to a slight increase to 0.3 percent of child labor in our business partners' workforce. The Monsanto India team launched innovative improvements to their campaign to curtail child labor in 2012. "While working on the elimination of child labor, we needed to emphasize the long-term benefits of child education by adopting a holistic approach with support from the community and stakeholders," said Madhav. Starting in 2005, the Child Care Program (CCP) focused on educating farm families about child labor and removing children from monitored fields with the help of field teams, the human rights team and a multi-stakeholder steering committee comprised of industry members and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). In response to the slight increase in child labor in 2012, the Monsanto India team emphasized new activities to increase program effectiveness and ensure that children attend school. This included creating a group of social mobilizers, engaging the community and modifying the audit protocol. Despite logistical issues in rural areas, the women social mobilizers, a group of women with social work academic backgrounds, visited 389 schools and 143 women self-help groups and met nearly 3,500 grower families in 459 villages. The self-help groups provided a platform to discuss and resolve child labor with the children's parents, who are members of these groups. "The women involved are vital to the success of this program," said Madhav. "They continuously share success stories of the children who continue their education and inform others about how child field labor adds early exposure to potential life-threatening situations, such as snake bites." Additional community participation supplemented the efforts of the self-help groups. Rallies were held in production villages to encourage dropouts to return to school, and public oath ceremonies involved parents to make a commitment to comply with the Indian Right to Education Act and Child Rights Protection Act. Monsanto also modified the audit protocol to collect additional data in order to classify children found working on farms as either "school going" or "school dropouts" to enable the appropriate course of follow up. The social mobilizers were encouraged to use this information to make follow up visits to both the schools and homes of children.
As part of the previous campaign, Monsanto continues to engage the community through the Model Village School Honoring Program, which recognizes the farmers' and communities' efforts to operate as a child labor-free village. Furthermore, Monsanto donates items, such as bags and computers, depending on each school's infrastructure needs. Also, partnering nongovernmental organizations, such as the Center for Applied Research and Extension (CARE), increase engagement through awareness programs and activities, like involving children in gardening lessons, teaching health and safety and strengthening parent-teacher committees. "We've been able to maintain the momentum of these efforts through proper planning, implementation of best practices and keeping all groups engaged," said Madhav. "Field teams train on Monsanto's policies every season. We consider schools as 'change centers,' and we treat children as 'ambassadors for change.'" After the 2012 season, Monsanto's comprehensive monitoring results indicated a reduction in child labor in our business partners' fields to 0.2 percent on third-party contracted grower farms for hybrid cottonseed production, and even lower for other seed production sites for corn and vegetables. "The Monsanto team considers complying with the human rights policy as an integral part of the business, and the team wholeheartedly commits to this effort," said Madhav. "Setting good examples and processes for others to follow has also been a great achievement."
Monsanto's project, "Respecting and Protecting Child Rights in India," is a nominee for the Global Sourcing Council's Sustainable and Socially Responsible Sourcing (3S) Awards Program in the "Community Engagement" category. GSC 3S awards program honors the best sustainable and socially responsible practices in global sourcing, as implemented by companies, corporations and individuals supporting global sustainable development, social responsibility, ethical and ecological business practices and the general idea of giving back to the local community.
From Sept. 17, 2013 through Oct. 10, 2013, you can vote for Monsanto's project, Respecting and Protecting Child Rights in India, for the GSC 3S People's Choice Award.

Even when one watches from afar, Israel's military pounding of the Gaza Strip during the last three weeks has felt relentless. A brief humanitarian truce last weekend allowed the dust - literally - to clear, and as the Observer's Peter Beaumont found, the devastation of Palestinian communities was shocking. In our cover story this week, Beaumont poignantly captures the bewilderment and despair of a people whose lives have been thrown suddenly into ruin. Our coverage inside the paper considers why, at the same time, the anti-war protest voice within Israel is diminishing, while on the Comment pages, Jonathan Freedland argues that the conflict in Gaza is an object lesson in futility for both sides.
As fighting continues to rage in eastern Ukraine, so tensions have escalated between Russia and the west. The European Union met this week to agree broader economic sanctions against Moscow over its suspected involvement in the shooting down of flight MH17 over rebel-held territory on 17 July. We consider what trade restrictions will mean for Putin and the west, as international relations with Russia sink to their lowest ebb since the cold war.
In Libya, the security situation has taken a dramatic turn for the worse as international diplomats evacuated embassies and western citizens were urged to leave the country. In Iraq, prime minister Nouri al-Maliki's days as leader look numbered after his own party met to discuss alternative candidates for the job.
Nigeria is in the news again, as the deadly Ebola outbreak surfaces in Lagos, Africa's most populous city. Meanwhile 100 days after the mass kidnapping of schoolgirls by Islamist militants in Chibok, the parents of the missing children still have nothing but words of hope from the Nigerian government.
In India, the country's super-wealthy – the so-called Richie Rich Club – are about to see their net worth quadruple in the next four years. Simpler pleasures are returning to the fore in Pakistan, though, where Pashtun poets are rediscovering their craft after years of suppression by the Taliban.
Poland was licking its wounds this week after being found guilty of breaking the human rights convention over its collusion with the CIA's extraordinary rendition torture programme. In Italy, the successful salvage operation to raise the Costa Concordia ferry is being seen as a potential new dawn for a country that has suffered more than most during the recession years.
In Britain, a Guardian investigation uncovered shocking conditions at a poultry abattoir supplying mass-produced chickens to supermarkets. Meanwhile the government gave the go-ahead to an expansion of shale gas exploration in the country, a move likely to be met with more protests from anti-fracking campaigners.
In the Review section, the Observer's Abigail Haworth looks at the shocking trade in virgins in Cambodia. Our partner papers the Washington Post and Le Monde provide reads on an Afghan radio show reuniting the country's missing, and a pioneering age-friendly urban scheme in Dijon.
Further back, Discovery asks what the Rosetta probe might learn from comet 67P, while Books looks at revolutionary Latin American residential architecture.
Notes & Queries ponders whether England could feed itself, while Good to Meet You hears from a new reader in Oregon in the United States.
Finally, as the centenary of the start of the first world war approaches, our Culture pages take a look around London's refurbished Imperial War Museum and its inevitably anglocentric take on the events of 1914-1918. On a similar theme, our back page columnist Santanu Das considers the millions of people around the globe – Asians, Africans and Pacific islanders – who fought on the same side but whose stories have never been afforded the same prominence. As Das reminds us, "Sometimes one has to move beyond conventional archives to recover such histories."

It is now sure that Microsoft will not release its next-generation Xbox, called Xbox 720, in this year. When Microsoft had released some software updates at E3, then the company had wanted to introduce its new dashboard update in this October. But a job posting report indicates that next Xbox will be launched within the next 18 months. This job ad has shown the detail plans of Microsoft's new version products over the next 18 months where Xbox is included.
According to the job posting, "Over the next eighteen months Microsoft will release new versions of all of our most significant products including Windows (Client, Server, Phone and Azure), Office and Xbox." We could not find any authentication about the report, because source's provided link shows "This Job is no longer available." Even, they did not add any screenshot of the job posting page. A spokesperson from Microsoft said that "Continually thinking about the future of the platform and when we have something to share, we will."

OTTAWA--Industry Canada March 16 published finalized amendments to the country's patent rules to speed up approvals of patents for commercialization of environmental technologies. The existing rules permit expedited review of patent applications, but only if the normal review period would likely prejudice the applicant's rights, the department said in a statement published with the finalized amendments in the March 16 issue of the Canada Gazette, Part II. The changes will affect "patent applications relating to green technologies that could help to resolve or mitigate environmental impacts or conserve the natural environment and resources," it said. The department said a number of concerns were raised by the Intellectual Property Institute of Canada after the proposed amendments appeared in draft form in the Oct. 3, 2010, issue of the Canada Gazette, Part I, but that no changes were made because the existing legislative framework provides tools to address the institute's concerns. The finalized changes to the Patent Rules are available at http://www.gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p2/2011/2011-03-16/html/sor-dors61-eng.html.

Souvlaki & Bar, 140-142 St John Street, EC1 (020 7253 7234) £25.
Created by Theodore Kyriakou and Paloma Campbell of The Real Greek, this atmospheric bar and cafe serves superior meze, Greek street food, regional beers, wines and spirits. Chargrilled meat (pork until June, then lamb) wrapped in hot bread and Ouzo Mohitos are perfect training for Olympic eating and drinking in Athens this summer.
The Zetter, 86-88 Clerkenwell Road, EC1 (020 7324 4455) £43.
Mark Sainsbury, one of the founders of Moro (see below), and Michael Benyan recently opened this "one restaurant and 59 bedrooms" in a converted warehouse that was formerly the headquarters of Zetter Football Pools. Easygoing eating is the guiding spirit. Chef Megan Jones favours the healthiness and immediacy of Italian food.
St John, 26 St John Street, EC1 (020 7251 0848) £40.
One of the first restaurants to give what was once an Italian area its modern gastronomic character, St John remains my considered favourite. It is an utterly purposeful place with no wastage or silliness. With so much indigenous produce currently in its prime, find it here cooked with care, empathy and inspiration.
Potemkin, 144 Clerkenwell Road, EC1 (020 7278 6661) £36.
On the ground floor is a streamlined bar where it would take you several months to exhaust the choice of vodkas, were you to select one a day. Downstairs is a cosy restaurant decorated in a revolutionary shade of red. Friendly staff serve authentic Russian dishes which can be as extravagant as caviar or as homely and comforting as stuffed cabbage.
Moro, 34-36 Exmouth Market, EC1 (020 7833 8336) £40.
A couple of doors from Medcalf, Moro's pavement tables and wafting cooking smells contribute to the pleasure of strolling on a sunny day in Exmouth Market. Masters of cooking in a wood-fired oven, Samuel and Samantha Clark have a singular, successful take on Moorish dishes, which never fails to intrigue and entice. Make sure to book ahead.

Homecoming, or not?
Jane brought the order from the counter, and handed Alex the burger. In the process she managed to squirt some sauce on him.
"Hey, you did that on purpose!" he screamed attracting the attention of everyone in the room. Jane responded with a firm "Did not!!" and they began eating.
"Well so what do you think?" continued Jane, "will you take Liz to homecoming or not? And I know you like her so don't deny it!"
Alex turned away and responded with a faint "I do not."

|DO NOT REPLY [Bug 35746] - session manager should be immune to system clock time changes (solution provided)
|Sun, 01 Oct 2006 07:41:58 GMT
DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL, BUT PLEASE POST YOUR BUGÀ RELATED COMMENTS THROUGH THE WEB INTERFACE AVAILABLE AT <http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35746>. ANY REPLY MADE TO THIS MESSAGE WILL NOT BE COLLECTED ANDÀ INSERTED IN THE BUG DATABASE. http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35746 ------- Additional Comments From email@example.com 2006-10-01 00:41 ------- While I agree with the general centiment that if an alternative algorithm works in more cases with no loss of performance that your idea maybe sound. But the following statement demonstrates your limited knowledge of what NTP goals are. (In reply to comment #4) > Whenever a user (or the ntp update agent/service/deamon) sets the date/time, > sessions may be lost. An NTP client does not reset the clock when it computes a variation. It makes the system clock tick faster or slower to narrow that variation over time. If its too far out NTP will not function and abort. Since TC is not a realtime application and runs largely on a multitaking OS a faster/slower clock is not ordinarly detectable by an appliction. Which is the point of running NTP. I'm a great believer that just as time never goes backwards that clock slew is not something that an application programmer has to deal with. This is one certainty of the universe for which computer concepts live within so as such its an underpins everything. If you want to change the time then do so in the BIOS before the operating system boots up, of the user changes the time force a device reboot. If the application of the device means you dont want this then you've going to have to look at NTP anyway. Some would argue that short sighted embeded device creators didn't provision an adequate mechanism to change the clock or keep it up-to-date. Since its a given that the accuracy of the clock source in the device while good isn't perfect (like most things) and the device's software relies heavily on absolute time to function. One question on your algorithm, is it written in the Java specification for the Thread.sleep() function that this has to be implmented in a way impervious to clock slew ? Or does that claim come from your experiments with a particular JVM implementation on the particular embeded device you have to hand ? It is no good building castles in the sand. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com
