2013 is going to be a fascinating year for retail in Europe.
When I look at what's to come this year, I can paint a picture of what Forrester predicts by looking at a tale of two brands. Both are iconic, heritage British brands that have responded to their increasingly digitally enabled consumers in two very different ways. Naturally, this has resulted in two very different levels of success.
One picture says it all . . .

Tablet ownership in Western Europe is set to quadruple in the next five years: The percentage of European online consumers who own a tablet will increase from 14% in 2012 to 55% in 2017, according to the Forrester Research World Tablet Adoption Forecast, 2012 To 2017 (Global). This dramatic growth follows what was a pivotal year for tablets: Ownership doubled in 2012, and one in seven online Europeans now owns a tablet. The recently published Forrester report "The European Tablet Landscape" draws on our Technographics® data and looks at the profile of European tablet owners and their usage patterns. We found that:

I've spent the past two days at Finovate Europe in London, which has rapidly established itself as the leading European retail financial technology event of the year. This year's event was bigger than last year's, with 64 exhibitors spread over the two days.
Here are my impressions from the two days:

It'd be nice if we had an overall Users list, so we can sort them by name, number of products available, paw status, etc.
Anyone else like the idea?
Me, me!
sort of already done… http://www.flashden.net/author/top_sellers
yeah it was here all this time
sort of already done… http://www.flashden.net/author/top_sellers
I don't think Justin was talking about that. He thought about ALL users list.
All users are in that list..
All users are in that list..
Oh sorry, but is this just for FD?
That list is all Envato authors.. But the button to access it is still only on FD yeah..
It's been brought to devs attention.. but there were bigger priorities at the time.. Might be revisited I guess, at some point
..and yeah, would be cool if it could sort by marketplace now.. i.e. if an author has any items on a marketplace, they appear ranked in any of the 5 sites' sorted list.
You can only sort them by paws. Kind of useless if you can't sort them…especially by marketplace.
I would like to sort them on "Lives in" but this is nog a required field so don't know if it is possible. but i would like to see where people come from

When it comes to mealtime convenience at home or away, it�s hard to beat the Graco Contempo highchair. It is Graco�s slimmest folding highchair, so it�s a breeze to store and perfect for travel. Contempo also comes pre-assembled, so it is ready to use the moment you pull it out of the box. The dishwasher-safe, pull-out tray insert makes clean up a snap. And the 6-position height adjustment and one-hand, 3-position recline mean it�s as comfortable for baby as it is convenient for you.

Graco contempo high chair

Easy to wash/clean, assemble and disassemble (though not everything is machine washable or removable). Love that it comes with an extra seat pad. This highchair has been through a lot of mess and still in great shape.

Contempo High Chair
January 22, 2014
We've only had this high chair for a few weeks. But so far, no major problems with it. It was slightly larger than I had expected, but it folds up easily.
It folds up easily and also this particular style came with an extra seat cover.
When in use, it's slightly larger than I thought it would be and the breaks on the wheels don't work well on non-carpeted floors.

I like the highchair because it folds. I am a grandma who wanted a place for my grandson (six month old) to sit when he visits. It suits my purpose now but I am not sure if the chair is sturdy enough for an older child
it folds
I don't care for the plastic covered seat and I don't know for sure if it is sturdy enough for an older child

Well-made highchair
April 12, 2013
I bought this highchair to have on hand for my baby grandson. It had good reviews from various websites, was reasonably priced, so I decided to take a chance on it. It's working out perfectly. I especially like that it folds up fairly narrow, even with the tray on, so fits in the gap next to my refrigerator. The color is neutral enough to look good in my home, and be nice for either a baby boy or girl, and the entire seat wipes off easily. It has big red, easy to spot buttons to push to release it for folding or to make adjustments. Don't have anything negative to say about it, or at least not yet.
Folds up well for storage Easy to use Cleans easily Good safety features for a wiggly baby.toddler

Nice Chair
June 8, 2012
So far my daughter loves this chair. It is soft. Plenty of space inside. And reclining of back of the seat is the best of all. She could seat in it for hour just playing with her toys or looking what I'm doing in the kitchen. Previously bought much more expensive chair - modern looking, but with hard seat and back, very shallow and back of the seat would not recline. It would remain 90 degree angle like an airplane seat. My girl would start crying in it in a matter of seconds. We actually had to take her to the store and try out all available chairs. She loved Craco Contempo ( she was 4.5 month at that time) and she still loves it (almost 3 month past). This chair is not the best looking and wheels are not the best to move chair around. But as long as my girl is comfortable, I can close my eyes on design issues. Only what worries me, as others have noted, when child comfortably seats with fully reclined back, hand is always going into small area between chair itself and top of chair support. So far hands are tiny, but as she grows it will be a huge problem when hand will stack in there one day.

Great Highchair at a reasonable price

Great high chair with different positions and heights. Easy to clean with a tray that has a removable top. Our son likes the chair and the wheels make it super easy to move around.
Washability Comfortable Adjustable
The removable tray our son now grabs and pulls off to tip it over wish you could lock it in place.

Great high chair
January 27, 2012
I am completely satisfied with it. I love everything about this chair! Extremely compact fold, very sturdy, easy to operate one hand, a soft and comfy seat, easy to wipe down. My baby loves it. I had another high chair from Fisher Price and he would scream every time I put him in it. So, I returned it and got the Graco Contempo instead. I've had this chair for about 2 months and cleaning it is not difficult at all. I did not have a chance to wash the fabric since I just wipe it with wet cloth or wipes right after each meal and it's like new again. Wheels may scratch a gentle floor though - they are plastic and do not rotate in all directions.

Love this high chair !

Very Comfy for my son, easy to use. Adorable pattern as well. Easy to assemble . Only thing that would have been nice is washable straps.

Compact, cute, and easy to clean!
December 21, 2011
I wasn't sure I wanted to buy another high chair. My husband and I had saved our son's- but honestly, it was so disgusting, by the time our daughter was 9 months old, I was begging for a new one. I'm not particular on design or name brand. I just wanted an affordable chair that was easy to clean! The Contempo is actually very, very cute- even more cute in person.
*Though reviewers have said otherwise, I can totally set this up one handed- baby in arms. *Folds up so well, it can be put out of the way easily. (BIG SELLING POINT) *Vinyl cushion is easy to clean- it is attached from base to arm rest (so it fits your baby more like a pouch), so the crumbs do not get stuck in the crevices of the plastic chair base. *Cushiony seat- very soft! *Reclining chair in case your baby isn't a pro at drinking from a sippy cup. *Cushion is removable (though I'd read otherwise in some reviews). It's not a simple removal- but it can be done. *Tray pushes up as close to the baby as you'd like, leaving less of a gap for food to fall through. *Dishwasher safe, pop off cover *I LOVE that even when you remove the tray completely, there is a small tray in place so baby cannot easily climb or slip out. *Baby fits snugly in chair- not as much space around her for her to fill up with food! *Tray cover is sunk-in so that cheerios are less likely to be pushed onto the floor. *Awesome price!
The only thing I don't like about it is that the polka-dotted area is a suede-like material, which is harder to wipe down than the vinyl. I have a messy baby who likes to turn around and smear her food-covered face on the chair. :) But despite that, I've been able to keep it clean. Also, Amazon reviews had stated that this chair came with a spare cover- but on the Albee site, this chair does not come with one. And the newborn, removable cushion pictured really isn't necessary. When I fed my 4 month old in any high chair, it was easier to just recline her a bit, which you can do with this chair.

Great for babies but not Toddlers
July 19, 2008
I purchased the Jenny model & Rittenhouse at the same time, this fits my 7 month old daughter but the other one "identical model, different cover" doesn't fit my toddler. The straps are too tight. I love the color, the easy storage, the style but I wouldn't recommend it for a toddler.
By Kimberly Csabai
Doesn't Fit Toddlers
July 19, 2008
My son is two years old 30 lbs and the shoulder straps don't fit him, too tight, unable to latch to use 5 point harness. I can use the 3 point but the middle connector strap is very tight and isn't easy to handle. I love the color and the stroller but I hate that he can't be strapped in using the 5 point harness.

I love this high chair. I live in an apartment so I needed something that would fold up... and this does just that. It is amazing! And the fabric is wonderful, very easy to clean, just wipes off! The tray is a perfect size! I have no complaints. I bought this at full price before it was on sale, and I'd spend it again! This is a awesome high chair! Couldn't ask for anything better.

I love this high chair. We live in an apartment so there isn't much room, I love the way this folds up, just amazing! Very compact. The material also is VERY easy to clean. My daughter fits in a perfect (she's 10 months). And the tray is nice and big, holds cups great, and removes easily. The only thing, I don't know when she is going to grow out of the safety straps, it doesn't seem like she has much room to grow, I guess we will have to wait and see. But other than that, it's perfect!

The buildings were most likely erected by the National Park Service with the Conservation Commission of West Virginia as the sponsoring authority when many of the stone picnic shelters and fireplaces were built in the late 1930's. Construction of the dam by the Works Progress Administration began in 1940, but I suspect that the buildings were already in place by that time.
While I am uncertain of the originator, there can be no doubt as to their use. The Mining Engineers Handbook written by a staff of specialists under the editorship of Robert Peele, Professor of Mining Engineering in the School of Mines, Columbia University, published in 1918, details the techniques for safely storing explosives and blasting supplies. The buildings were constructed of double walled brick to make them both fireproof and bulletproof and had to be well ventilated. You will see the ventilation holes on top and near the base of each structure. Blasting supplies (blasting caps and fuses) and explosives had to be stored separately. When selecting a location for the magazine, the local topography was taken into consideration by placing it next to the hillside to take advantage of the natural protection. The brick walls of the structures were lined with two by two inch nailing strips, covered with 7/8 by 6 inch boards to form a lattice work. The purpose of the lining was to keep stock away from the walls and assist ventilation. The doors were constructed of 3/8 inch boilerplate, backed with three thicknesses of 3/8 inch hardwood, which would stop a bullet from a U.S. Springfield rifle. A couple that live near the park told me that the buildings were still being used as late as the 1960's.
The building you are standing at, the smallest of the three, would have been used to store blasting supplies. A close examination of the door, which has been welded open, will reveal a few shards of the wood that would have been used to line the interior. The bolts that held the wood in place still remain. Count the bolt heads on the exterior of the door and add them to 37. This will give you digits A and B of the latitudinal coordinates of the final cache:
Next travel to the low flat roofed building. As you can see, there is no iron framing around the doorway of this structure. Since steel or any metallic tools that could cause a spark could not be stored in the magazine, this building was probably used as a utility shed. As you are standing at the the doorway look inside at the left and rear walls (no need to enter the building). You will see small holes in the brick near the top of the walls that provided ventilation. Count the total number of holes in the left and rear walls (only count the holes that are still open) and add them to 4. This will give you digit C of the longitudinal coordinates:
Finally, make your way to the largest of the three buildings. It's size indicates that it would have been capable of storing between 15 and 20 thousand pounds of explosives. As you peer inside, carefully inspect the right wall and you will see several of the 7/8 by 6 inch boards that made up the lattice work still attached to the wall. Count these and add this number to 18 to give you digits D and E of the longitudinal coordinates.
The cache is a .30 caliber ammo box placed with permission of the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources, Parks and Recreation section. The hike to the cache and back to your vehicle is slightly under a mile and a half. I have updated the attributes of the cache to designate it as Not Child Friendly: for the most part, the trail is very safe, however, there are a few places where the trail is narrow and there is a steep drop off into the Tomlinson Run gorge below. If your child is old enough to safely stay on the trail, the only deterrent would be the length of the hike. This will be determined by your approach to the final. There is a much easier way to get there, with the terrain being a lot less challenging, but it will require a longer hike of approximately 2/10 of a mile.

House Speaker John Boehner said today the House will pass legislation with spending cuts to keep the government running and avoid a shutdown.
In a statement posted on his website, the Ohio Republican said the House will act if the Democratic-led Senate doesn't adopt a House-passed bill to fund the government.
Boehner today said the House "will pass a short-term bill to keep the government running -- one that also cuts spending."
The speaker's comments came as he rejected a plan by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., to pass a short-term budget for 30 days at current spending levels. Reid intends to bring up the measure next week, when Congress returns from a week-long recess.
Reid, who said Democrats are open to some spending cuts, blasted Boehner for "drawing lines in the sand." He urged the GOP to "come to the table to find a responsible path forward that cuts government spending while keeping our communities safe and our economy growing."
The legislation that currently funds the government expires on March 4. Last week, the House adopted a resolution to fund the government for the remaining seven months of the fiscal year, at 2008 spending levels. The measure includes $61 billion in spending cuts opposed by President Obama and Senate Democrats.
In recent days, the political rhetoric about a government shutdown has increased if Congress and the White House cannot agree on spending levels for March through September of this year.
Boehner chastised Reid and "the Democrats who run Washington," saying they are trying to create "more uncertainty by spreading fears of a government shutdown."

After doing some research it seems she has a condition called Encopresis as she is now straining to go without success but soiling her pants quite regularly. I know this could have a root problem of a lot of changes in her life (including a new baby, her brother recently potty training and some issues at school) but we now really want to help her sort this out on all levels.
As an immediate solution my husband wants to give her an enema, I'm not sure I'm ok with it but we need to relieve the 'blockage' and then deal with the other issues she is going through.
Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm really quite desperate as the poor thing is suffering and I can't bear her being so stressed out about it as it's really starting to affect her.
Thanks in advance!
We have been dealing with this for a few years now.
This is usually a result of holding in stool and after awhile they cant really feel when they have to go anymore. I keep my daughter going regularly with a tablespoon of milk of magnesia (MoM) every day with a big glass of warm milk as per both my GI and out family doctor. If she goes more than 4 or 5 days without pooping I give her a glycerine suppository. I find a suppository a little nicer than an enema. Make sure to leave it in at least 30 -60 min so it melts and softens the end of the poop.
Without the MoM her stools get rock hard when she holds them in too long, but with it, it will stay soft even if she is holding it in for a few days. We tried everything, fiber, more water, elimination diets, everything. This is the only thing that works, as we beleive the problem to be completely psycological. She just hates pooping and feels the need to hold it in. Its so frustrating, but someday she will realize its more trouble than its worth.
Sometimes we go a month or so with her pooping daily, but she always regressed back to holding it in, usually after we travel somewhere for a few days.
Mama to L (7) and A (born 7/15 by VBAC)
I live in France and don't think there is such a thing as milk of magnesia here but may ask if someone can bring some over for me. I know now (through doing a lot of research!) that this is just a short term solution so we need to work on it a bit. I'm also trying out a couple of homeopathic remedies (First Silicea which seems to match then Sulphur it that doesn't work) and hoping we won't have to result to any other intervention.
When I think back she has suffered from this for quite some time but very intermittently. As I mentioned, we've had a lot of changes in our lives over the past year or so so it may stem from there...
Thanks so much again!
The pharmacist should know what it is. It probably has a different name. They usually keep it with the antacids as its good for heartburn too. . Its pretty gentle as a laxative in that it doesnt cause severe cramping. It just pulls water into the stool making it softer.
Mama to L (7) and A (born 7/15 by VBAC)
Our 5 year old son also struggles with this. I am working so hard at helping him to have regular bowl movements. He has some myralax every morning in water. (Our doctor recommended it until he starts doing it on his own) and I have him sit on the toilet at the same time every day. Some days he poops, other days he says he doesn't have to go and I have him try again later.
I am feeding him as much fiber as possible and prunes. He loves them.
Part of his problem is that his colon is compacted (hopefully not as much anymore) with poop and we didn't know it until recently. It is not a fun thing to deal with.
Anyway, good luck!
Joyful mama of 3.

well this can be very serious stage of life but m sorry can't anything as m unaware of it !
I've also been giving her homeopathic remedy Sulphur (after doing some further research) 9ch for a few days and when she complains her tummy is hurting and she's been having a poo every day for a week now - no complaints, not hurting, without us prompting...
I would urge any other mums struggling with this to try it as a cure as we have been struggling with this problem for about 3 years - previously my daughter would not go for 3 days and always enormous ones which now I see was part of the problem!
Give it a go!
We have not had this same issue but just wanted to share that our chiro suggested epsom salts baths as the salts are magnesium sulfate and magnesium can be absorbed through the skin (milk of magnesium is a liquid form that you drink). While we use it to relax the muscles all over, it also has the effect of loosening stools if the skin absorbs a fair amount. You could try putting about a 1/2 cup of epsom salts in her baths and see if that helps.
milk of magnesia is a solution of magnesium hydroxide. it helps relieve constipation. you're not supposed to use it long term unless your doctor says so, but it can really help when you've been stopped up for a long time.
if you have long term issues and need to retrain the bowel a daily dose of Peg 3350 (sold under various names like Lax-a-day, restoralax, miralax, glycolax) is suggested by a few pediatricians i know. it's a white powder you mix into any beverage. you want to have soft poops daily for a long time so the bowel heals and learns to respond to normal needs.

Indian Affairs:
Better Management and Accountability Needed to Improve Indian Education

What GAO Found
Students in Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) schools perform consistently below Indian students in public schools on national and state assessments. For example, based on estimates from a 2011 study using national assessment data, in 4th grade, BIE students on average scored 22 points lower for reading and 14 points lower for math than Indian students attending public schools. The gap in scores is even wider when the average for BIE students is compared to the national average for non-Indian students. Additionally, the high school graduation rate for BIE students in 2011 was 61 percent, placing BIE in the bottom half among graduation rates for Indian students attending public schools in states where BIE schools are located.
BIE's administrative weaknesses have resulted in it experiencing difficulty assessing the academic progress of its students and adequate yearly progress (AYP) for its schools as required by federal law. Department of the Interior (Interior) regulations generally require BIE schools to administer the same academic assessments used by the 23 respective states where the schools are located. However, in the 2011-12 school year, at the direction of BIE officials, 21 schools did not administer their state assessment. These schools administered an alternative assessment that had not been approved for assessing AYP. BIE made this critical decision without the appropriate level of review at Interior or the Department of Education (Education) because it does not have procedures specifying who should be involved in making key decisions. Further, BIE did not provide its schools their AYP status for the 2011-12 school year prior to the start of the next school year, hindering school officials' ability to develop appropriate strategies to improve student performance. Unless BIE provides schools information that affects student instruction in a timely and consistent manner, it will be difficult for BIE to be well-positioned to improve student academic performance in the future.
Fragmented administrative services and a lack of clear roles for BIE and Indian Affairs' Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Management (DAS-M)--that until July 2013 was responsible for BIE's administrative functions--contributed to delays in schools acquiring needed materials, such as textbooks. In July, Indian Affairs underwent a realignment, which assigned another office in Indian Affairs the responsibility for most of BIE's administrative functions. The realignment is intended to improve efficiency in delivering services to Indian Affairs stakeholders, including BIE schools. However, it is unclear to what extent, if at all, the changes will result in improved services for BIE schools. For example, Indian Affairs had not conducted a recent analysis before implementing the realignment to determine if it has the right people in place with the right skills doing the right jobs. Such workforce planning is critical given Indian Affairs' recent realignment and employee buy-out and early-out initiatives. Similarly, Indian Affairs has not developed a strategic plan with specific goals and measures for itself or BIE, or a strategy for communicating with stakeholders. Such a strategic workforce plan and performance measures could help improve operations and align the organization's human capital program with its current and emerging mission and programmatic goals.
Why GAO Did This Study
In 2012, the federal government provided over $850 million to 185 BIE schools that serve about 41,000 Indian students living on or near reservations. BIE is part of Indian Affairs within the Department of the Interior, and BIE's director is responsible for managing education functions at all BIE schools. BIE's mission is to provide quality education opportunities to Indian students.
GAO was asked to study the extent to which BIE is achieving its mission. GAO examined (1) how student performance at BIE schools compares to that of public school students; (2) what challenges, if any, BIE schools face assessing student performance; and (3) what management challenges, if any, affect BIE and its mission.
For this work, GAO reviewed agency documents and relevant federal laws and regulations; analyzed student assessment data from 2005-2011; and conducted site visits to BIE schools and nearby public schools in four states based on location, school and tribal size, and other factors.
What GAO Recommends
Among other things, GAO recommends that Indian Affairs develop and implement decision-making procedures and a communications protocol to ensure that BIE has effective management controls and comports with federal laws and regulations. To improve BIE's management of its schools, GAO also recommends that Indian Affairs develop a strategic plan that includes goals and measures for BIE and a revised strategic workforce plan. Interior concurred with all of our recommendations.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Open
Comments: In late 2013, Indian Affairs indicated that it would review existing procedures and where necessary develop and implement new procedures for key decisions and document them in management directives, policies, and manuals. We will monitor these activities and close this recommendation when these actions have been completed.
Recommendation: The Secretary of the Interior should direct the Assistant Secretary-Indian Affairs to develop and implement decision-making procedures for BIE that specify who should be involved in the decision-making process for key decisions that affect BIE and its schools to ensure that BIE has effective management controls, is accountable for the use of federal funds, and comports with federal laws and regulations. Such procedures should be clearly documented in management directives, administrative policies, or operating manuals.
Agency Affected: Department of the Interior
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In September 2015, the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) issued a final communication plan. The strategy identifies internal and external audiences for agency communications, including schools. It also describes several activities to communicate with these audiences, and the offices within Interior that would carry out those communication activities. Further, BIE took additional steps to improve communication in fiscal year 2015. For example, BIE hired a full-time employee dedicated to improving communication, including with schools and other stakeholders. Also, BIE updated its school directory and used various means of communication to share information with schools, including webinars, newsletters, and telephone conference calls.
Recommendation: The Secretary of the Interior should direct the Assistant Secretary-Indian Affairs to develop a communication strategy for BIE to inform its schools and key stakeholders of critical developments that impact instruction in a timely and consistent manner to ensure that BIE school officials receive information that is important for the operation of their schools.
Agency Affected: Department of the Interior
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In late July 2013, Interior appointed members to the BIE-Education committee. According to documents provided by Interior, the committee has held meetings on a quarterly basis.
Recommendation: The Secretary of the Interior should direct the Assistant Secretary-Indian Affairs to appoint permanent members to the BIE-Education committee and ensure that the committee meets quarterly as required by the Memorandum of Understanding to improve collaboration between BIE and Education and address the challenges that Indian schools face in improving student performance.
Agency Affected: Department of the Interior
Status: Open
Comments: According to Indian Affairs officials, development and implementation of a communications plan is not feasible at this time due to significant organizational changes.
Recommendation: The Secretary of the Interior should direct the Assistant Secretary-Indian Affairs to develop a strategic plan that includes detailed goals and strategies for BIE and for those offices that support BIE's mission, including the Bureau of Indian Affairs, to help Indian Affairs effectively implement its realignment. Development of the strategic plan should incorporate feedback from BIE officials and other key stakeholders. To gather stakeholder input, we recommend that the plan include a comprehensive communications strategy to improve communication within Indian Affairs and between Indian Affairs and BIE staff.
Agency Affected: Department of the Interior
Status: Open
Comments: To develop a strategic workforce plan, Indian Affairs awarded a contract in summer 2015, and the final plan from the contractor is expected in late summer 2016, according to Indian Affairs officials. GAO will monitor this effort to see whether it addresses this recommendation by including a focus on administrative support services for BIE schools, such as safety or facility management.
Recommendation: The Secretary of the Interior should direct the Assistant Secretary-Indian Affairs to revise its strategic workforce plan to ensure that employees providing administrative support to BIE have the requisite knowledge and skills to help BIE achieve its mission and are placed in the appropriate offices to ensure that regions with a large number of BIE schools have sufficient support.

The Army has clarified the exceptions to its general freeze on civilian employee hiring, addressing policies including the movement of current employees within the agency.
A memo dated Feb. 27 follows earlier guidance allowing for only limited exceptions. Those mainly apply to filling vacancies deemed critical to the agency's mission and hiring persons with job-placement rights, such as those returning from an injury or overseas areas of military operations.
The Army along with other military services imposed a general civilian hiring freeze among other steps responding to the sequestration.
The new memo from the Army manpower office clarifies, for example, that an exception for internal recruitment actions that are limited to current employees also applies to positions that formerly were open to outside applicants as well, within certain limits. Also, existing positions "may be upgraded to accretion of duties and internal promotions may continue." However, hiring under those exceptions can come only from within the same commuting area and commands "must fully consider the impact of associated cost increases on budget reduction plans."
Also allowed is hiring through certain career developmental programs, scholarship programs and internship-type programs that provide for job placement, the memo says.
Further, while the original memo specified that there is no specific exception from the freeze for veterans, the new guidance notes that appointments to permanent positions remain allowed under several special hiring policies for veterans.
It also says the overseas assignment exception is not limited to Iraq and Afghanistan, but also applies to all jobs supporting overseas military operations as well as emergency, humanitarian, disaster relief, stability and similar missions.
The memo also specifies that the hiring freeze does not apply to self-supporting "non-appropriated fund" functions such as officers' clubs. And it clarifies policies on laying off temporary employees when they reach the end of their appointments.

Re: "large" matrices, Eigenvalues, determinants, characteristic polynomials
you know that all determinat calculations are very sensitive against
rounding errors ? This become more and more critical when the
size of the matrix increase. The main task of all eigensystem-solvers
is to avoid the computation of the determinant of
of the characteristic polynomial. So you should try to increase the
precision of your input data.

Are you puzzled by the many public Amazon EC2 images that are available? They are all wonderful to get started with, and we all have to thank the many authors who have put a lot of work into creating them. But when we put a server into production we always feel like we should be 100% in control. We want to make sure there is nothing unknown on the images we are using. We also believe that even though we will be offering base images to our customers, some of them may want to recreate them themselves, "just to be sure". We make all this possible by scripting the image creation and publishing our scripts to go with our images.
Our current RightImages are a CentOS 5 image and a Fedora Core 6 image, both generated entirely automatically. Our goals are:
- Create a fairly clean base image with just what we believe are the essentials.
- Create the image automatically using a script, this allow you to inspect all the details, create your own version of our image if you choose to, and it allows for easy maintenance.
- Put a few seeds onto the image that will support the features of the RightScale service (you can easily remove these if you want to use the image without RightScale).
Below is a description of the CentOS image we prepared, and you can download the script that we used to prepare it.yum packages added
- wget - for retrieving web based files
- mlocate - for fast file searching
- nano - Alternative to Vi/Emacs
- logrotate - Log Rotation
- ruby - needed for EC2 and RightScale scripts
- rubygems - needed for ruby work
- syslog-ng - replacement to syslog, better remote logging, used by RightScale features
- postfix - alternative to Sendmail, easier to set-up for most people
- gcc/gcc-c++ - needed to compile software
- zip/unzip
- glibc libraries - these are needed and must be force installed for some software to work.
- Java JRE 1.6.0su1 - used by the Amazon API tools
- Amazon Kernel Headers linux-2.6.16-xenU - useful to compile kernel modules
- Amazon EC2 AMI Tools - enable bundling
- Amazon EC2 API Tools - EC2 command line tools
- S3Sync - rsync-like functionality to sync local filesystem with S3
- RightScale Software - fetches launch data into /var/spool/ec2
- EC2 meta-data is fetched from 169.254.169.254 into /var/spool/ec2/meta-data
- EC2 meta-data and user-data include files in /var/spool/ec2/metat-data for Bash and Perl.
- EC2 Command Line tools in /home/ec2
- AWS variables for EC2 and S3 are set in /etc/profile.d/ec2.sh
- Java variables are set in /etc/profile.d/java.sh
- Disabled password authentication in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
- Modifications to /network config according to Amazon documentation
- Modifications to /etc/rc.local to fetch ssh key
- Creation of /opt/rightscale directory tree for RightScale add-ons, they consist on the following:
The following services are not necessary on EC2 or were replaced by another service: acpid, anacron, apmd, autofs, avahi-daemon, avahi-dnsconfd, bluetooth, cpuspeed, cups, dhcdbd, dund, firstboot, gpm, hidd, irda, irqbalance, kudzu, mdmpd, netplugd ,NetworkManager, NetworkManagerDispatcher, nfslock, pand, pcscd, portmap, rdisc, readahead_later ,rpcgssd ,rpcidmapd ,rpcsvcgssd ,sendmail ,smartd, syslog, wpa_supplicant, xfs, yum-updatesd

A Nervous Splendor: Vienna 1888-1889 (1979)
by Frederic Morton
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book dives into the years 1888-1889 in Vienna, describing the lives of famous and not yet famous residents. Strongly recommended for people interested getting a feel for old Vienna or for people interested in musical history.
A shot rings out in Austria in 1888, it's echoes are still heard and the questions about young male suicide are still being asked and unanswered by society and science.
A portrait of Hapsburg Vienna about a generation before its dissolution. The monarchy is a class-driven machine producing much punctilio but apparently little in the way of strategic planning. The growth of nationalism among its polyglot population is viewed by Emperor Franz Joseph with trepidation, but ultimately the official attitude is wait and see. We as readers know these nationalist pressures will tear the Empire apart in 1914 when, in Sarajevo, Serb Gavrilo Princep blows a hole in Archduke Franz Ferdinand's neck. But in 1888 the monarchy seems either oblivious or in denial, perhaps a little of both. Only Crown Prince Rudolph and those of his immediate circle possess insight into the unsustainable imperial trajectory.
The Crown Prince is a fascinating paradox. He's well educated and liberal, a noble who's at heart a republican. His fondest wish is to see his kind expunged from state affairs. He knows the government is in desperate need of reform. Yet despite his lofty rank, his legions of admirers, he possesses no real power to effect change. The emperor employs his intelligence apparatus to spy on him. Agents follow him about and monitor his telegrams. The burden of protocol is overwhelming, but Rudolph seems to bear up well until the visit of Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany. The occasion is Emperor Franz Joseph's fifty-sixth birthday. Rudolph, who prefers the company of the so-called commoners to the moribund aristocracy, despises Wilhelm for his empty pan-German rhetoric. Yet he must toast him, must follow him about like a puppy, so the Kaiser won't grandstand at this or that reception about the virtues of the Greater Reich. He's stuck in this empty diplomatic role, smiling and toasting a man he despises. He's good at it. His manners are Old World. Understandably, he grows depressed.
There can be no question of Rudolph taking a mistress from among the nobility. His marriage to a cipher was a function of politics, not love. The noble ladies set their sights on him but he is emphatically not interested. Things look bleak indeed. Then he sees Mary Vetsera at one of the few social events where commoners and nobles can intermingle. At the new Court Theater they observe each other with opera glasses. Mary is 18 and Rudolph is 30. He's heard of her, of course. Mary's mother is a skillful social climber who's handed her gifts on to her daughter. Mary's a "lady of fashion" whose every new ensemble makes the society pages. Their liaisons are complex, arranged by a Vetsera family friend. There is much scuttling about labyrinthine corridors, much zigzagging about town to shake persistent tails.
Soon they are both dead from a suicide pact. Mary's corpse is spirited away by family members and buried without ceremony. Rudolph is given a funeral the likes of which are perhaps no longer seen in our day. His death rocks the empire. Of his final messages for others, he leaves not one word, not a syllable, addressed to his father.
The book is a portrait of a vanished era as much as it is a tale of star-crossed lovers. Along with Rudolph and Mary's story we're given a look at the cultural life of Vienna. The artist bios are beautifully compressed. We peek into the young lives of Arthur Schnitzler, Hugo Wolf, and Sigmund Freud--all in their twenties--as well as older established artists like Aaron Bruckner and Johannes Brahms. Vienna is a vast overwrought Baroque wedding cake. Morton brilliantly transforms the boulevard of braggadocio, the new Ringstrasse, into a fitting central metaphor for the posturing and decorum of a vast, fragmenting empire oblivious of the ticking clock. Wonderfully vivid and highly recommended.
Having little personal knowledge regarding the history of Austria, my first thought after finishing the book was "those poor, poor Austrians." Their impending doom just oozed from the pages of "A Nervous Splendor."
"A Nervous Splendor" follows the lives of Brahms, Bruckner, Freud, Wolf, Klimt, Herzl, Mahler and the royal Austrian family. The book features portraits of those mentioned and illustrations of significant locations. It also includes excerpts from written correspondence and diary entries. Covering just ten months of Austrian history, this segment of time gives the reader a pretty clear picture of what made Austria great, and by the end of the book, it's obvious where the country is headed.
Frederic Morton cleverly juxtaposed the drama and splendor of the arts: theater, opera, and the opulent nightly costume balls of the carnival season to the rotting decay of the archaic, inaccessible, staunchly militant government. Even the Crown Prince Rudolf could not penetrate the hierarchy to communicate effectively with his father King Franz Joseph.
It was pathetic to read about the general public - either poor starving laborers, or the small population of successful working class people. They knew their station in society and unlike other more progressive nations during that time (Great Britain and the United States), no matter how much wealth individuals accumulated, there was no middle-class. To quote Morton (Pg. 68) "Austrian nobility was ancient, exclusive, rigorously pedigreed. It treated the mushrooming burgherdom (bourgeois) like a fungus."
With a sense of unavoidable doom bordering on hysteria, the working man had to pin his hopes on Prince Rudolf - the common man's Prince. He was a weak, unreliable, mentally unstable, drug addict and possibly an alcoholic... but nevertheless he was their savior. Upon Rudolf's suicidal death, the famed music critic Eduard Hanslick spoke for the Austrian people, "I have lived through revolutions, the loss of lands, murderous devastations by flood and fire - nothing of all this is comparable to the horror of January 30th" (the day Prince Rudolf died). (Pg. 267)
Morton goes so far as to imply that Crown Prince Rudolf's suicide may have influenced the course of history. Surely it cast a black cloud over the city of Vienna and it was an omen of bad things to come. But it is hard to imagine that even if Prince Rudolf would had lived, he could have made a substantial contribution to the empire. As the story closes, Austria is suffering from rising prices, increasing anti-semitism, diminishing control over outlying territories, and overall discontent. The final page of the book is April 20th, 1889 - the birth date of Adolf Hitler.
If you are a history buff already familiar with the historical events of Austria during 1888 - 1889, you may think the story is superfluous. But the fresh observation of Austrian society and the cultural norms in that time period combined with Morton's personal compilation of events and how those events affected Austria's populace is both original and thoroughly captivating.
This book, published in 1980, describes the events occurring in Vienna from the summer of 1888 to April 20, 1889 (the day before Easter and the day Hitler was born in an Austrian town (not Vienna)).. The story covers the doings during that time of Theodor Herzl (a playwright, not yet a Zionist), Brahms, STrauss, Bruckner, Freud, Mahler, et al. and of course Franz Joseph and his son Rudolf. The Mayerling murder-suicide on Jan 30, 1889, occupies much of the time from that date to the end of the book. The book is well-done for its type--not history, except incidentally--and one feels one is authentically shown what Vienna was like to the people described. This is he third book by Morton I've read and I found it worth reading.

Excellent report, thanks! I've been thinking about going to a set of American Customs myself. I like the look of the Dyna OEM bullet mufflers & wish to stay with it.
Can you possibly add a pic or two of your AC's installed? Both with & without the baffle? Which baffle did you get, the Mid Rumble or the Street Friendly? And how loud is it in comparison to baffleless?
I really don't care for loud exhaust, but the OEM exhaust I have on my Dyna Defender was gutted by po, and it is so loud it rattles my teeth. And it's a harsh, clacky loud, not a deep rumble.
Anyways, I'm wondering if I could simply get/install the AC baffles myself? What all mods did they do to your OEM mufflers? I can't send mine in cause they are black ceramic and they won't accept those for mod.

[Brightness And Contrast]
[Color Depth] [Screen Resolution] [Downloads]
Mouseover the text links below to temporarily change the background color. This is useful to observe how different dominant colors can affect the perception of color.
The uppermost white bar above is pure white on the left half and slightly darker (one Windows safe color step below white) on the right half. The white bar in the center is pure white on the left half and slightly more dark (two Windows safe color steps below white) on the right half. This center image is being provided for displays that may have difficulty in distinguishing the very subtle shade differences in the top white bar. Adjust your "Contrast" setting until you can just see the difference. Contrast is most often set to 100%.
The contrast setting adjusts the maximum displayed luminance, thus it is a range control. It is best to always keep this setting at its maximum. Only decrease the contrast setting if the highlights are too bright for your vision. Keep in mind that contrast affects brightness, but brightness does not affect contrast.
The black bar is pure black on the left half and slightly lighter on the right half. Adjust your "Brightness" setting until you can just see the difference. Brightness is most often set to about 50%. It is suggested that you allow a few minutes for your eyes to readjust and then repeat the steps above.

The ICIS Training caravan has been in Houston, Texas this week, and my colleague Peter Taffe has sent back these photos.
He tells me: "Two of the pics are Judith Taylor delivering a pricing paper. The other two are from the break out session where teams have to develop projects in different parts of the world. One team shown had South America as its region – came up with an idea for a PVC project in Brazil to meet new construction activity as a result of the World Cup and Olympics to be held in Brazil. The other team had North America and came up with an idea to revamp its steam cracker to take advantage of lighter feedstocks."

Magicka: Vietnam post-release reactions
Posted by Alex Ziebart in Analysis and Opinion, PC Gaming on April 14, 2011
If you listen to our podcast, you know that DLC is a pretty popular topic of here at Nitpixels. We're all very opinionated about the right and wrong ways to do it. This post is no different. As I mentioned previously on the site, I was extremely hyped about Magicka: Vietnam, Magicka's first paid DLC. The base game was a wonderfully good time and the company had a great sense of humor. There's no way this DLC could go wrong, right? Uh, wrong.
I bought Magicka: Vietnam on Steam the very first moment I could on launch day. That night, right after we recorded the most recent episode of the podcast, I jumped on and played through it with a few friends. The DLC consists of a single 30 minute mission and an arena map. Less than an hour of content for $5. Fun content, yes, but there is very little of it. At this stage in the game, that kind of price for so little content is disappointing at best. I didn't go in expecting a full secondary campaign (and that's not what was advertised) but I paid $5 for a 30 minute mission and an arena. To say it did not meet my expectations is a massive understatement.
I didn't mind the format of the Vietnam mission. The full campaign that was included in the base game is well-designed for a single player experience, but the core entertainment value of the game is playing it online with friends. Who is going to be able to play a multi-hour campaign online with friends in one sitting? Almost nobody. Breaking it up into shorter pieces of content is a very smart move. The Vietnam mission was a perfectly sized chunk of content to play through with some buddies. This DLC just needed more chunks. I don't think wanting an hour's worth of mission-based combat is unreasonable.
I still believe that Magicka is one of the most unique, entertaining games to come out this year. I still highly recommend the base game. This DLC, however, feels like a cash grab — and maybe they have a right to that cash grab. The base game was severely underpriced at $10. I would have gladly paid more for it. This DLC feels like they realized that, then rushed out the smallest amount of content possible so they could get a little more bang for their buck. It strikes me as a little dishonest, and that's a real shame.
Due to the low price point of the base game, I'm really not as angry about this as I could be, or potentially should be. Magicka is worth far more than $10. Even if this DLC was underwhelming, I've still paid less overall on Magicka than I would on some other form of entertainment.
As I said, I do still love Magicka and if you asked me right now if you should buy it, I would say yes, absolutely. In fact, it's less than $10 on Steam right now — it's $4.99. If you don't own the game, go buy it right now.

My pom was lethargic and had no appetite all of a sudden in January. They did a blood test and found that the enzyme in her liver was high. We are on liver medications now. Good luck and take care.

To have this opportunity to coach at my alma mater and play our home games in the premier facility in the conference at Barcroft Park is extremely special."

Pants for Short People: J.Crew
It is extremely rare that I find a pair of pants that fit me and don't need to be hemmed or altered in some way. That's part of being 4'9". And then I discovered that J. Crew carries petite items, including pants. It kind of changed my life.
I just ordered a pair of black but I all ready have a pair of khaki in Petite Classic Cafe Capri ($69.50). Right now they are on sale for $59.50 (if you consider that a sale) and available in black, khaki, white and rust. I wear size petite 00. The sizing says Natural Waist: 23 and Hip: 33.25. The inseam is 23". I have been tempted to try the kids pants but I'm afraid my butt and hips would be too big to fit. I love these and they're easy to wash.
Petite Minnie Pants in stretch twill ($89.50) the only thing that irks me is they're "dry-clean only" but I turn them inside out and wash on gentle. The zipper is on the side which can take some getting used to. These have a 24" inseam. Available in: black, khaki, flame (above), deep orchid and navy. While $90 for pants is a bit much, I don't mind. I have 2 pairs of black and live in them. Plus you can dress them up or down.
Petite Scout Chinos ($69.50) in mint (shown above). They won't arrive until April but I sure hope I can pull 'em off. The inseam is 24". Available in: black, neon peach, light khaki, white and mint.
Thank you J.Crew! I will pretty much only purchase my pants from there now. And at least I know they will fit without alterations.

Continuing with the theme of really knowing God, I want to share some things I recently came across regarding His commandments. We're going to mostly focus on the first four commandments. Out of the ten, these first four are about our relationship with God. The last six are about our relationship with others.
Thou shalt have no other gods before Me. (Exodus 20:3) Pretty clear. God is to have first place in our lives. Supremely, entirely, completely. Anything else is an idol. Trace it back from all the other commandments and at the root of them all is some sort of idolatry. For example, if you steal, you have made something else your idol. Adultery? Your self-satisfaction is your idol. We lie to benefit ourselves or to give someone and inflated view of who we are or what we do. You get the picture. Let's not take this commandment lightly. All else hinges on this one. It's first for a reason.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. (Exodus 20:4) While the first commandment is about our allegiance to the one true God and his desire for exclusivity, this commandment is about trying to turn the one true God into something else. This is about trying to make God into our image rather than realizing we are made in His. When we define God as to how we want him to be, when we create an image in our mind of the God we want, not the God who is, it's as if we have made a graven image. It won't look like a golden calf but it's just as repulsive to God. Ouch.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. (Exodus 20:7). We really have gotten careless about this one. Cursing using God's name makes most people cringe but saying OMG or something like it seems acceptable nowadays. It is basically being flippant with the name of a Holy God and doesn't give Him the reverence He deserves. But this commandment isn't just about curse words or a flippant use of God's name. It is about claiming the name of God but living in contradiction to His will. We not only take his name in vain with our words but also with our actions. Another ouch.
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. (Exodus 20:8) Yay. This isn't a "thou shalt not" commandment. But really, in these days and times can we afford to set aside a day to keep holy? Well, if we want to obey God, then YES, we must. From the beginning of time, God worked six days and then He rested on the seventh. God wasn't tired but he was setting the stage for what he knew we would need. He knew that work could become our god. He knew that we would think there were not enough hours in the day, or days in the week to get things done. Not keeping the Sabbath means we are not trusting God for our provision. Ouch again.
So that I don't get too long in this post, I think I will spend a little more time on this fourth commandment in next week's blog. It is one that has actually divided churches over its meaning and can become very legalistic if we are not careful. And it's probably one that we don't take very seriously. So until then, let's keep a check on our idols, things that we try to make into the likeness of God and our use of the Lord's name. That should keep us busy enough!

I registered a Payoneer account as the tut: http://notes.envato.com/news/setting-up-a-payoneer-account/
Then I got a message:
"We're currently waiting on confirmation for Payoneer of your account being set up. This can take up to 24 hours. If you haven't received an email in that time, contact support."
Until now I have not received any email from Payoneer ( I have waited for a lot of days ) and can not use Payoneer option for withdrawal.
I do not know what to do next ? Anybody can help me ?
I just want to transfer money to my bank account directly, I do not need the card.
Thank you for reading.
Did you receive your Card?
Hey, you will have to wait now for a confirmation, if I remember, I got it in few hours after request. Then, it took around 3-4 weeks for my card to arrive.
I am not sure what's the proceedure with bank accounts.
For me it took a few days to get the request accepted (more than the 24h). Then a couple more weeks for the card to arrive. But since you want to transfer money directly to your account, not sure what can be the next step…
There is a Payoneer Comunity user here at envato foruns that sometimes drops here to help out. I'm sure he'll reply to your question also.
@miseld: I have not signed up the card.
Thank all. I will continue waiting …
Hi Guys,
When you sign up to receive payments via Payoneer, you can choose to either get paid to a Payoneer card, or directly to your bank account (as mentioned above).
When signing up to receive payments to your bank account, it takes us a few business days to review the application and verify the payment details. We just need to make sure that all information provided is correct, and sufficient for us to be able to transfer the funds to your bank.
If you haven't received an e-mail confirmation yet, please let me know and I'll look in to the status of your application. firstname.lastname@example.com
Nissim | Payoneer Community Manager | payoneer.com
@Nissim_Payoneer: Please help me check my application status. I sent you an email.
Thank you.
