Young adults drive record U.S. trend of multi-generational homes
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A record 57 million Americans, or 18.1 percent of the U.S. population, lived in households with two or more generations in 2012, with young adults leading the trend, a report said on Thursday.
The number of Americans living in multi-generational households has doubled since 1980. The figure spiked during the 2007-2009 recession and has moved higher since then, the analysis by the Pew Research Center said.
"The increase in multi-generational living since 2010 is apparent across genders and among most racial and ethnic groups," the report said.
About 24 percent of young adults, or those ages 25 to 34, lived in multiple generation households in 2012, more than double the percentage in 1980, the report said.
Historically, Americans over 85 are those most likely to be living in households with more than one family generation. But they trail young adults, at 23 percent.
Among adults 25 to 34, men are more likely than women to be living in multi-generational households, at 26 percent to 21 percent, the report showed.
The higher percentage among men might be because their living arrangements are more sensitive to job fluctuations than women's, it said.
Young people living with parents or grandparents may be another sign of delayed entry into adulthood, along with marrying later and staying in school longer, the Pew report said.
Rising joblessness and falling wages among less-educated young adults may be undercutting their ability to live away from their parents. A 2011 Pew report showed that 2009, a quarter of the jobless lived in multi-generational homes, compared with 16 percent of those with jobs. Continued...

JERSEY CITY, N.J. - The Marist women's tennis team began its 2012 campaign with a strong road performance at MAAC league foe Saint Peter's on Saturday afternoon.

"While the state Senate remains focused on adopting a new death-penalty law, Gov. Eliot Spitzer last week filed bills on issues ranging from gay marriage to court reorganization, redistricting and abortion rights.
"... Spitzer has proposed that New York become the second state, after Massachusetts, to legalize the unions.
"'It is high time that New York values all families who choose to call New York home by passing this bill,' said Susan Sommer of Lambda Legal, an advocacy group."

The Philadelphia Phillies need a stop gap at third base until prospect Cody Asche is ready to take over as the Phillies full time third baseman. Kevin Youkilis is the perfect solution for the Phillies and can be acquired for a reasonable price. The consensus among MLB scouts is that 22 year old Cody Asche will be major league ready for 2014. In the meantime, the Phillies need a player that can man the hot corner and give the team an upgrade in offense at the position. Some think that a combination of Freddi Galvis and Kevin Frandsen could fill the hole. Even though Frandsen was signed to a $850,000 deal that could be worth $1.2 million in incentives. He is not the answer. Read here why he is not. Kevin Youkilis is the right man for the job. Youkilis has struggled over the past few seasons offensively, but he still provides power, and unbelievable eye at the plate, steady defense, and is (despite what Bobby Valentine says) a winner and good guy to have in the clubhouse. Despite a car...

Your favorite dog supplies (bowls/beds/toys/treats)
So I am getting a new working line puppy in about a week and wanted to get everybody's opinions. I haven't had a dog in almost 20 years, so I'm sure some great new things have been invented in that time. I need to do some shopping for the new little guy but want to get him only the best and stuff that has been proven! Please share with me your favorite bowls/feeding stations, beds, toys, treats, leashes, collars, etc. And perhaps any other unique dog related items that make you say "I don't know how I ever lived without this thing!" Thank you in advance for your help!
I'm interested in this as well
Congrats on getting a pup! Couple of things came to mind right away: an undercoat rake for grooming and brushing, and a Chuckit for exercise.
Cookies for the neighbors as your dog will be screaming at the top of its lungs at night while crate training.
A camera to take lots of photos and videos because I promise you will blink and your dog will be 80 pounds.
Stainless steel feeding bowl so your pup doesn't think it's a toy and chews it up
Toys IMO are useless at this age. An empty water bottle or milk carton is enough for them to have fun. They grow so fast I'd wait till they are bigger to actually get them real toys.
NovaB, I have been doing retail for dogs for the last few years. All USA made, non-toxic toys. Some of the best (longest lasting) in my opinion are:
Zogoflex by Westpaw
Kong - not all are made in US
Tugs - Katies Bumpers & k9 training equipment online for bite suit material or jute.
The pups will usually get the handles off the tugs, so these are more for interactive play and reward.
Someone else mentioned taking your dog to the store and letting them pick what they like which is fun. You may want to go with softer bite toys until teething is complete.
Costco has good prices on their beds.
I like the original Kong and the Kong Goodie Bone. (Made in USA)
The Nylabone Chew Bone (Made in USA)
Antlers (Deer is softer than Elk but you still have to watch, they can crack their teeth on them)
I use basic stainless steel feeding bowls nothing fancy, they're just on a mat in the kitchen so they don't slide around.
I just use a nylon leash/collar but leather is softer on the hands.
I like Wet Nose, Wag More Bark Less, Natural Balance Rolls, Plato Salmon Strips (Dehydrated Salmon, smells gross but my dog loves them) for treats. I also clicker train :)
For food before I learned about high calcium being an issue I had my dog on Canidae All Life Stages but then switched him to Taste of the Wild High Prairie Puppy (1.4% calcium) and once he was done with the puppy food I switched him to Kirkland's Natural Domain Salmon and Sweet Potato (1.2% calcium).
I got my dog a bed and he shredded it ($60 dollars that lasted a night :( ) so now I just have a fleece blanket from Goodwill that he lays on and various army blankets that were my husband's grandpa's.
Oh and a crate :D definitely definitely a crate is necessary haha.
Gunther has no interest in picking out his own toys. Maybe because I worry he'll just go through and chew up everything he gets his mouth on so he has a good leave it in the store. Be wary of toys promising durability. I dropped $15 on a toy that was rated 9/10 on toughness scale. It had layers of suitcase grade leather, plastic, nylon, and repeat two more times. He had it destroyed within 3 hours of coming home. At least he had fun with it! One of his favorite toys that lasted longer was a rhino with a removable shell. The shell velcroed to the back and was a Frisbee. That toy lasted him months. He enjoyed taking the shell off. Also since the shell had the sticky part of the Velcro, I would take it and stick it to the sides of furniture and such and he would go searching for it.

Giants fans had to holding their breath when they saw running back Ahmad Bradshaw walk into the locker room one series into Saturday's game versus the Jets. Fortunately, the reason why he left had nothing to do with this oft-injured feet. More fortunately, the injury to his hand isn't considered serious. After X-rays came back negative, Bradshaw was diagnosed with a right hand contusion. A cyst on that hand popped when it was hit by the helmet of a Jet.
"I've had it for a while," Bradshaw said of the cyst. "We didn't know what to do with it. It's still there and then on one of the runs I hit it on someone's helmet, and it just popped. There was a little pain in it. It feels good. We're just being precautious about it."
Fantasy Analysis:
It's nice that this won't be a cause for anxiety going forward. But I still don't trust Bradshaw's fragile footsies to hold up for a full 16 games. He is FFToolbox's No. 14 RB, but I'd probably move him down toward No. 17 or No. 18 just because of those feet. If you do take a chance on him, make sure you make room for David Wilson . He would likely get the majority of the touches if Bradshaw were to go down. D.J. Ware would be in the mix as well.

Re: Laika Boss
Here's my second entry. I wanted to name it Fuzz Aldrin because I thought it was cute but I had Laika in mind at the start. Both of my entries are red this time! My theory on woot is that I've entered this design waaaay too late to expect any sort of outcome but it was fun. and I like my guinea pig drawing.

Top 10 Healthy Foods for Your Hair
You are what you eat…honest! When it comes to healthy hair, it's not only what you apply to your hair and scalp, that's important…but what you put into your body. Take a moment to step away from the mirror and into your kitchen!
Like your body, hair grows faster and stays healthier when it's nourished by a well-rounded diet full of unprocessed foods. A "healthy" hair and body diet should include foods high in protein, zinc, calcium, and vitamins A, B and C, and Omega 3 oils.
Here are the Top 10 Foods that you should add to your diet:
1. Seaweed
2. Citrus Fruit (oranges and grapefruits)
3. Blueberries
4. Sardines and Salmon
5. Lentils
6. Eggs
7. Wheat Bran and Wheat Germ
8. Watercress, Spinach, Kale
9. Brown Rice
10. Cantaloupe

Love you Hair,

Let's talk content marketing

"What's at the heart of content marketing?"
"Why does content marketing make sense for me?"
"How do I do it well?"
Chances are, you're asking yourself one or, indeed, all of the above questions. And that is why I have decided to join Forrester's Marketing Leadership research team as a senior analyst.
I've been working with content marketing since 1998, well before it was called content marketing, and most recently at an agency that specialized in it, Velocity Partners. Before that, I helped major Scandinavian brands like Kongsberg and ABB understand how to weave content marketing in their marketing strategy and mix.
Every time I discuss content marketing with practitioners, two observations regularly surface:
1. It's very powerful. The idea of doing marketing that customers want, that they even seek out, is enticing. It can create a virtuous cycle that makes everything else (social media, email marketing, events and campaigns) much more effective. Red Bull is the consumer brand poster boy for this, but companies as diverse as GE, Hubspot, American Express, Ford and IBM are also doing it well.
2. It's very difficult. Most brands have very little experience making content that customers want and seek out. Producing great content-driven experiences, repeatedly, over time and with a limited budget, that deliver visible value for customers and prospects, and that drive business outcomes for the brand, is hard. It's particularly hard for marketers accustomed to a product-benefit or brand benefit frame of thinking, and the big bang ad campaigns that go with it.
With these in mind, my upcoming research will help brands and senior marketers understand how to design, create and distribute powerful content for their brand and, at the same time, prepare to tackle the organizational, process and technology challenges that lie ahead. To get things started, my first report will focus on a discrete but critical part of the content marketing challenge:
How can you be sure you're giving your content marketing assets the best opportunity to reach your target audience? My hypothesis: Content discovery and promotion is a key component of any content marketing initiative, but is often overlooked. In the coming weeks, I'll be speaking with dozens of marketers, agencies and vendors about the challenges, the opportunities, and the best practices they see emerging in this area. If you have an interesting viewpoint or a direct experience to share, please do get in touch. The report will be out later this summer.
In the meantime, I'm eager to hear new input, ideas, and questions that relate to content marketing. You can find me on twitter @rskin11 or drop me a line (firstname.lastname@example.com). Let's talk.
Content Marketing mayhem
Comment from David Zeitman (not verified) on Sat, 06/29/2013 - 23:29
Yes, it seems companies have trouble distinguishing product messaging from engaging content. The preferred outcome remains pursuit of the sales call. But if a prospect isn't ready to buy, don't they still deserve a decent experience?
Equally troubling is the confusion between social media management and the efficient production of quality content. Sorry, but the new girl running your Facebook page and Marketo account can't cut it as a publisher. It's like saying you can handle programming for a television network, just because you like watching TV.
Yeah, it's hard to engage an audience on a human level; beyond the product. But is it short-sightedness or a lack of talent that proves the biggest obstacle to an enterprise seeking content marketing success, Ryan?
Addressing the strategic level
Comment from Ryan Skinner on Mon, 07/01/2013 - 05:10
David: That's a pretty accurate assessment for many companies, I think. It would be hard to make an argument for a shortage of talent; I think there will always be talent where there's budget, a strong business case and a sound strategy.
Once the challenges and opportunities of content marketing hit the highest levels in the company, it becomes much easier to get the resources and focus. I wouldn't call that short-sightedness but rather an educational process.
Content catalysts
Comment from David Zeitman (not verified) on Tue, 07/02/2013 - 14:40
Agreed, Ryan – elevating content marketing within the enterprise is an educational process. But the pursuit of a content-rich news feed can't always wait. So here's a simple suggestion for stratifying content:
Commerce: Yes, it's all about making the sale. But think beyond features and benefits to spin a more distinctive story – positioning the product / service as something unique that your company was 'born to build.'
Conscience: Address an issue of industry-wide concern in the market you serve. And not just the cause du jour. You've got to dig for something organic to the business (and that your CEO can feel good about).
In the case of online security leader AVG, my firm created a new program to support their Family Safety product launch. 'Little Bird's Internet Security Adventure' was a children's book parents could read with their pre-school kids – helping to initiate conversations about Internet safety in an age-appropriate manner. Little Bird was a 'wingman brand' that added deeper authenticity to the Family Safety product messaging.
The book generated so much interest that it was translated into several languages, and later built into an iPad app. And the topic became a content catalyst for partners, CorpComm and the PR team. This all led to a successful product launch; and AVG became known as the industry torchbearer for best practices with child safety online.
Finding the proper balance between commerce and conscience is critical. And when you get it right, a smarter content marketing effort naturally follows.

I maxed out the free 200 book entries already by just tossing the first few hundred items in my Amazon "purchased" list at it. (Turns out that I have bought 1209 individual items from Amazon. I had never checked that number before. Hmm. Then again, I have been doing all my Xmas shopping on Amazon for years).
Anyway, here's my profile, and my catalog is here, based on that very limited sample. Gee, I'm even tempted to buy the CueCat they sell so I can scan the books here. 😛
Furcadia is ten years old this month. It still flies under the radar of most of the MMORPG community, in part because the hardcore gamers aren't interested in yiffing, and in part because it's like so many other of the niche MMOs: isometric, low-end graphics, and far deeper design than most want to give it credit for.
Susan Wu tagged me and I am supposed to come up with 5 things you don't know about me. The problem is that with all the interviews and whatnot, all sorts of things have already been said. Usually, I can pull out stuff that folks don't expect, like "I'm fluent in Spanish" or "I have a degree in poetry," but nowadays, this stuff is stuff all you regular blog readers know.
So this is hard. Um.
Today we took the kids to the movies to see Happy Feet. It was pretty good, I thought, but also clearly a movie that could not have existed without March of the Penguins. You had to know the other movie to appreciate this one. You knew exactly when the sea lion was going to threaten, you knew precisely how dangerous the birds of prey were, only because you had listened to Morgan Freeman's voice describing it in great detail before. Only because of the documentary could you really know how the cold might affect the penguin egg that eventually births Elijah Wood — er, I mean, Mumble.
Stratics has put up a lengthy interview with me that is less about Areae and more about how I got there, if that makes sense. Given that it's Christmas Day, nobody is here online to read it, but maybe tomorrow, when you're bored with all your presents. 😉
Speaking of which, I am leaving the computer again.
Before I forget — Happy Holidays, everyone. Feel free to use the comment thread to wish each other good cheer, or argue, whatever. 😉
Allen Varney has a nice article at The Escapist on Boutique MMOGs. In it, he points out that in aggregate, several of the smaller MMOs he lists have populations larger than that of WoW.
But I think it's valuable to point out that most of WoW's subs are in Asia. If you compare the market share just in North America and Europe, a lot of these "under the radar" games actually have a larger market share than WoW does.
Just what you need to put you in a Christmas mood, carols as played by a mutilated madman in a cavern at the bottom of an opera house in a nightmare world where Cthulhu rules.
Or, perhaps, just what they sounded like when you hit the mall yesterday.

Program: Master of Laboratory Medicine
I wanted to develop my knowledge in Transplantation Sciences and the Master of Laboratory Medicine at RMIT was ideal for this. The program has an excellent structure and is flexible enough to allow me to keep working while I study. The rich learning environment has provided me with invaluable research and leadership skills which will be highly sought after by future employers.
I've really enjoyed learning and updating myself with the recent advancements in Transfusion and Transplantation Science, as my aim is to become a transplant surgeon.
I'm a medical practitioner from India and am currently working on my Australian Medical Council Registration and hope to soon obtain a placement in a Melbourne hospital. Long term, my goal is to be a successful transplant surgeon and contribute to research in this area of medicine.

Will News Corp.'s President Jump Ship?By
In a town that loves a hot rumor, the latest Hollywood gossip is that Peter Chernin, Rupert Murdoch's second-in-command for the last 12 years at News Corp. (NWS), might be leaving the company sometime this year. His contract expires on June 30, and both Murdoch and Chernin have been tight-lipped about the progress they've been making on extending his 2004 deal.
Odds are News Corp. President Chernin won't be leaving; he waited to sign his most recent contract until the last one had actually expired. But the buzz remains that he's thinking of bolting, and the timing couldn't be worse for News Corp. The parent of Fox Broadcasting and The Wall Street Journal recently reported a massive $7.6 billion second-quarter loss, much of it related to writing down the declining value of its TV stations and newspapers. And at $6.78 a share, News Corp.'s stock is trading near a 10-year low.
A Deluxe Package of Goodies
News Corp. is mum on Chernin's plans, but the 57-year-old executive wouldnt be hurting much if he decides to walk away, judging from the retirement benefits package in his contract. For starters, Chernin, who earned $28.8 million last year in salary, stock, and other awards, sits on top of a pile of money. He's got nearly $27 million in deferred compensation, along with another $11 million in various pension funds, going back to when he ran the Fox film studio and TV network before moving up to the presidency, according to News Corp.s proxy filing with the Securities & Exchange Commission.
Chernin also has the right, according the filing, to "require" the company to enter into a six-year deal to buy films or TV shows from him. This isn't any window-dressing, either. Chernin, a literature major from the University of California, Berkeley who got his show business start making movies of the week, has written into his deal that Fox would be required to buy "at least" two movies a year from him, paying a fee "at least as favorable as the most favorable agreement" the studio had with a producer in 2004, when he signed the agreement. That means big bucks, especially since back then Fox was making hefty pictures like X2: X-Men United that paid its producers a nice chunk of change.
But Chernin's retirement package hardly stops there. Should he decide to leave, he would continue to receive credit during his six-year production deal for the company's pension plan, building up his nest egg as if he had remained an employee. And his stock awards would continue to vest. On top of that, according to the company's filing, he would have the right to use the company jet for up to 50 hours a year (a six-year benefit estimated by the company to be worth $1.65 million), and could make use as well of a company car (another $210,000) while making deals around Hollywood.
All in all, not a bad way to enter retirement. But then again, as Murdoch's No. 2, Chernin makes as much in salary as the boss and last year even took home $1 million more (not that Murdoch's $27.5 million was too shabby.) Then there are the perks, which include not only the use of the corporate jet and a car, but $18,710 in country club dues. Perhaps best of all, he doesn't have to worry about getting his films made. He's one of the guys who can order them up in the first place.

"Exactly. Was going around a corner at 90mph, got the rear tires off the road, and spun out in some gravel, coming to a stop against a telephone pole. This all happened with the Salesman in the car too, the guy ended up buying it, and wanted to get it fixed before he takes it home. They said its going to be a while before it gets fixed, the parts have to be shipped from Japan.
The guy must suck at driving, its a rally car, and he wrecked it cause he hit some gravel."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Mast Rake
Raking the mast moves the center of effort of the sail or center of balance of the boat aft. This tends to push the boat into the wind, like a weathervane. Having a little of this helps pointing, because it tends to make the boat point up more. A little "windward helm", as this is called, is also a safety feature because it turns the boat into the wind (and waves) "automatically" in puffs so the boat is less likely to take on water or capsize. Having too much rake or windward helm makes the boat tend up so much that the helmsman has to have the tiller or rudder ''way off center to keep the boat headed off enough to keep the sails full. This is REALLY SLOW, because the rudder, angled way off the centerline, acts like a big brake. If the mast isn''t raked enough, the sail tends to turn the boat to leeward. This is perhaps faster, but does not help pointng. It is also dangerous, because a puff will make the boat head off, exposing more flattened sail area to the increasing wind, and can lead to capsizing and sinking. Some boats seem to work better with more weather helm than others. Some have almost neutral helms.
Historically, strongly raked masts in the 1800''s, for example, were also connected with improved windward ability. One of the reasons for this was that stongly leaning mast enabled the forestays of the time (100% natural fiber- subject to shrinkage, stretching, and rot) to be kept tighter. The extreme rake of the masts, however, moved the center of effort of the sails so far aft that to balance the vessels, the stern section of the hull was made deeper and longer. This created more wetted surface, which slows boats down. It''s a big balancing act. Have fun adjusting your rake!
Mast Rake
If the mast is raked too far aft, the boat will have excessive weather helm. If it is raked too far forward, the boat will have lee helm. Excess weather helm is detrimental to boat speed and pointing ability. Lee Helm is dangerous. In my opinion, for good performance the rake of the mast should be adjusted so that the boat has light weather helm in moderate winds.
Mast Rake
Could someone help me understand mast rake, and how it effects the boat? Would to much rake effect the pointing abilty? I,am I nuts or just confused? Thanks, Ron

Climate and Weather information for Laos
choose your weather for your purpose of travel
For a traveler in Laos it is crucial to understand the weather and climate conditions that we experience here in Laos and Indochina throughout the year. As many information providers just tell you what others have told, we try to give you a wider picture of what the climate in Laos and Indochina has to offer for the traveler.
One can say, Laos has three seasons:
The monsoon effected period lasts from May to October in which quite some rainfall is registered. It is humid and we find amazing structures of clouds as well as lush and green nature, full of life! Bring a raincoat and you will be fine as most roads are well maintained these days. If you can't stand the humidity make sure you AC rooms booked ahead. July and August is experiencing quite a demand. September is the strongest rain month.
After the monsoon period in Laos there is a dry period from November through to April, sometimes May even. This is what most people call the high season!! Means many other people on the hot spots, clear skies at least until january and later on a lot of mist, dust and slash an burn smoke in Lao mountain areas. Great temperatures easy to travel, cool evenings, clear rivers (not the Mekong) and highest room rates you can expect!
From March until the approaching monsoon which can actually vary quite a bit, the country (Laos and Cambodia) experiences its hottest and very dry weather. The best time to visit Laos is the time you can handle best and depends very much on your expectations and information gathered before you travel.
From our experience we can say even if you travel in the wildest rainy season you experience maybe much more about Laos than others in December crushing out with only other foreigners and learning and seeing less...its finally up to you!
Laos climate, weather information for your activities in Laos:
You wish to make some specific activities...? Then you might have to choose a specific time for your purpose of travel in Laos
Laos Overland Travel
is not really depending on climate and weather! As most roads are all weather roads you can get away from all "major" places. Though forget the hidden valleys and donkey trails in the Lao mountains...that's mud-only in rainy season. Especially if you travel with rented car you can even enjoy the rainy season in a good way as it hardly ever rains for really long...its more the heavy, short blast kind of rain!
Best Trekking weather Laos
You would prefer some dry weather if you go trekking or at least good rain protection and good walking shoes if you come to Laos for Trekking in August for example. Trekking and hiking in Laos in the dry season is surely great, especially shortly after the rain (e.g. October). In March and April Laos is getting really hot!!
Best weather for kayaking in Laos
and water activities such as multi-day river travel is great if you have beaches especially if you do camping in Laos. This is possible from October to May! In other months you have to overnight in villages and prepare for high brown water and fast going rivers not without dangers. For day trips this is all fine, but remote rivers we not recommend to travel in July-September!

Our gorgeous Japanese spokes-model, Mayura-chan, GAVE us (sorry everyone, the video was taken down) a splendid demo of how the Tenga Flip Hole (Black) works its wondrous magic. I love how, at first, she has no idea how to use the strange contraption, but as she delicately explores the sleek design, everything becomes rather intuitive. At first glance, I too, was a little baffled by the appearance. "So futuristic and deviously mysterious", I kept thinking. The Tenga team has really outdone themselves this time. Creating male sextoys and onaholes with outside-the-box thinking is what they do best; the Flip Hole (Black) is no exception. In fact, it raises the bar in solo play masturbation. Check it out, guys!
The glossy black outside, the 3 buttons across the top (to control tightness/pressure around your penis) and the absolutely insane-looking inside. Check out the attention to detail: all the intricate little nubs, bumps and abstract surfaces with names like "brushing edge", "moving ball", "end orb". You may feel like you're inserting your member into a spaceship from a sci-fi movie, but my-oh-my does it feel incredible. Your penis has never felt anything like this before. For more details and purchase info, check out our online boutique of Japanese sextoys!

If you are used to writing code in cocoa like I am, then you have probably become quite addicted to much of the handy API features of cocoa, things like the NSNotificationCenter. .NET and c# might have something like this, but searches for 'notifications' turn up a whole bunch unrelated stuff, so I wrote my own:
Just attach this script to a Game Object ( I usually have at least one empty object that is just my holder for all the scene manager scripts.) and you can utilize the notification services.
Here is a quick rundown of how it works:
First off, we have a BBNotificationList class at the top of the file.
public class BBNotificationList {
private ArrayList objectList = new ArrayList();
public string notificationMessage = "";
public void addObserver(GameObject obj)
if (!objectList.Contains(obj)) objectList.Add(obj);
public void removeObserver(GameObject obj)
if (!objectList.Contains(obj)) objectList.Remove(obj);
public void sendNotice()
if (notificationMessage == "") return;
foreach ( GameObject obj in objectList ) {
Just a very simple container object that holds a list of GameObjects and a 'message'. When the sendNotice() method is called, then each object in the list gets sent the message. Simple.
Next we have the 'server' which is roughly analogous to the NSNotificationCenter.
public class BBNotificationServer : MonoBehaviour {
private static BBNotificationServer sharedInstance = null;
private ArrayList notifications = new ArrayList();
// This defines a static instance property that attempts to find the manager object in the scene and
// returns it to the caller.
public static BBNotificationServer instance {
get {
if (sharedInstance == null) {
// This is where the magic happens.
// FindObjectOfType(...) returns the first AManager object in the scene.
sharedInstance = FindObjectOfType(typeof (BBNotificationServer)) as BBNotificationServer;
if (sharedInstance == null)
Debug.Log ("Could not locate a BBNotificationServer object. You have to have exactly one BBNotificationServer in the scene.");
return sharedInstance;
We are using a singleton pattern here, so you will need to have the script attached to something in your scene. Once you have that then you can get a ref to the server from any other script in the scene like so:
BBNotificationServer theServer = BBNotificationServer.instance;
or just make calls on it directly like so:
OK, so the first thing we need to do is be able to add and remove 'observers'. If you are unfamiliar with the notification center from the cocoa API, then an 'observer' is simply an object that wants to be notified by a specific notification.
public void addObserver(GameObject obj, string notificationMessage)
BBNotificationList theList = this.listForNotification(notificationMessage);
public void removeObserver(GameObject obj, string notificationMessage)
BBNotificationList theList = this.listForNotification(notificationMessage);
Again, fairly simple, we have a private method that returns the list for a specific message (and makes a new one if there is not already one) and then we just call the add/remove methods on that list.
Here is that private method:
private BBNotificationList listForNotification(string message) {
foreach (BBNotificationList list in notifications) {
if (list.notificationMessage == message) return list;
// we got here so there was no list, so make a new one
BBNotificationList newList = new BBNotificationList();
newList.notificationMessage = message;
return newList;
Right now I just implemented it as an arraylist and we just do a linear search through it. Not super duper fast, but if you only have a handful of notification messages, then it will be plenty fast. If you feel the need for more speed, then just replace this method with something that uses a hashtable and you are all set.
finally, we need to be able to post messages. We already had a look at the actual message posting code in the NotificationList object, and the post notification in the server object is pretty damn simple:
public void postNotification(string notificationMessage)
BBNotificationList theList = this.listForNotification(notificationMessage);
yep, that is it.
So how do we use this? If we have a gameobject that we want to react in some way to a notification then we simply have to register as an observer and implement the method that we are observing.
void Start() {
public void FooAllWidgets()
And that is it. Very simple!
Note: right after I finished this, I decided to check the one place I forgot to check in my earlier searches, and lo and behold, the Unity community has in fact beaten me to the punch (as usual :-) You can find a javascript implementation of a nice notification center at the Unify Community Wiki. It is a bit different than my implementation, it offers a bit more functionailty, and some extra data handling. Stuff that could be added to this one fairly easily if you needed a c# version.

34+ Owners
I used to be fairly active on this board years ago and was wondering if any of the old 34+ gang were still out there? I still own DV8 and and doing quite a bit of work on her this season. She is out of the water now and has the mast pulled. Changing out all the halyards, having the back stay legs replaced, usual waxing, etc. Also putting a dripless cutless in. I did replace the aft berth this year and finally have a mattress that I can get out of the way to get to the batteries. All in all, after 14 years I still think this is the perfect boat for the NW.
Paradigm Shift
If I remember right, Greg(?) I sailed with you from Roche Harbour to Sidney. All the old gang is over at C&C Yachts - C&C Photo Album & Resource Center on the email list. Come on over!
I remember the day. Are you still working at West Marine? I think you had recently sold your business when we met. I have been to the Photo Album, but didn't find a spot where the 34+ crew was talking. I saw 37R's. At one time I had over 40 owner names and contact of 34+'s, but that was on an old computer and lost to me now. Do you still have the 32(?). I remember she was in great shape.

Each week in The Moviegoer, Nick Olson examines new and upcoming films.While it may seem like an unlikely candidate for 2012's first good movie. Chronicle (Josh Trank, 2012) is a sci-fi drama that thrives on the specific combination of two sub-genre conventions: "found-footage" and real people gaining superhuman powers. By themselves, these conventions are growing a bit stale, but together in Trank's movie they infuse one another with some entertaining, creative tension.Chronicle is a teenage … [Read more...]

Q & A 559-726-1300 409029#….. LISTEN only 518-556-1500 no pin code needed
[wantingfreedom] Everyone relax . . we are blessed and in a position like none other in history!! WOW!! Our time is this week!!
[mhowell0214] The rates have been out and showing for seven weeks with exchanges going on in many of your cities and you didn't see it or know it. Any thoughts on what this means?
[cherrepie] remember this is not an event, it is a process.
[slickops] There will be no public RV announcement
[radiant] in, OH REALLY ?so your saying actual exchanges from IQD to USD have occurred. Perhaps at a lower rate than what will be announced publicly?
[shawnieb] Are the traders still open?
[slickops] The traders will not close…only adjust the rate when advised to do so…
[joshua] justme I was not actually at an exchange table, it was a metaphore… however I am waiting for my WF Bank to call most likely tomorrow am then I might be….lxxxxxxx] Stop looking in the obvious places for rates guys. The rates have been out and showing for seven weeks with exchanges going on in many of your cities and you didn't see it or know it….I will not share the rates… however let's say double for your trouble
[cashinqueen] so according to the post you are now waiting for your WF banker to call you tomorrow tuesday? ty 🙂
[slickops] Bank has the rates and have cashed out many but giving SKR until rate is officially released by cbi
[GOLDWING1999] Yes some special folks might have cash OUT… But they can't do anything with the funds until the offical RV….
[GOLDWING1999] trcgroup i say THAT…. It's iraq currency… Cbi showes the current RATES…
[slickops] GOLDWING1999 you are correct the host nation is official release of international rates thus CBI
[hoosierbigbucks] hybrid33…but should it not be on the CBI? if it is a tradeable currency it most should be. would be like google stock not being listed on the NYSE.. come on folks get real.
[hybrid33] hoosierbigbucks yes, in theory, it should be listed on both the CBI, and on Forex. It sounds like suddenly this is turning into private exchanges, which I have no idea how that would work. Apparently USA and other VIP's have already been exchanging.
[Kenypth] it will come unanounced……if we knew it was going to happen before hand…….we wouldn't be buying reserves……..we would find a way to buy it and pay in full just ahead of time…..the ptb will not let anyone know until AFTER the fact…….it will not appear on CBI or FOREX until after it has RV'd. And I believe Tony and Okie will know before we ever see it on the sites I mentioned.
Late Sunday Night
[30MDinar] Read VERY carefully . . . Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. One of those moments is coming.
[spinnerbait] Hi, Let me toss my reason for our wait out here. It's been said that the rate went live last week and that holders of currency exchanged at $3.44. The rate was then taken down and accounts were frozen. If I was one of these holders and was told that the rate was incorrect but I had to accept the $3.44 instead of a double digit amount, I WOULD WANT A DO OVER!!! or DEMAND MY DINAR BE RETURNED!!! I believe this is the only issue.
[g8way2k] spinnerbait Not that I know for sure….but I think they would be able to easily make that adjustment.
[kentuckygirl] already blessed… did tony talk to you about the 1210 rate and for us not to worry about that article?
[Already Blessed] kentuckygirl CORRECT
[Gmancometh] So have the 100 countries that have revalued over night been small movers? Have these changes been verified yet in this group of 100? I take it the big movers are coming next to finish it off then?
[normanross] but i dont see how they can push 100 countries through and now stop the rest
[TRISHA] Susan is Poof's beloved. She and Zap have taken over for Poof since his death a few months ago. I emailed her to ask about the humanitarian projects they intend to fund and she wrote back and sais "the RV is happening now"
[dinarmaven] TRISHA thanks for bringin this…. more confirmation maybe
[TRISHA] She also addressed my question about the humanitarian projects saying they would be contacting people who submitted ideas this coming week.
[TRISHA] jasmine77 They put that out there a quite a while ago I am sure thinking that the RV would have happend by now. so since I submitted three ideas and hadn't heard back I asked her if that is what she was waiting for and she wrote back the rv is happening now
[fantasia] OK FRIENDS WE ARE JUST ALL WATCHING AND WAITING! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gpx5u1Ua-ZM
[sandytob] fantasia All our intel ppl have told us that it would not show up on Forex before it is announced and made official, and then not for a few days, particularly if you don't have a paid account and even if you do.
[sandytob] blessed2 we are waiting on the banks…not the forex.
[fantasia] sandytob I DIDN'T SAY THAT IT WOULD; I WAS JUST SAYING WHEN THE FOREX IS OPENING TODAY. PEOPLE ARE WATCHING FOR THAT FOR INDICATORS OF WHAT MIGHT BE HAPPENING SOON. THAT IS ALL I KNOW ABOUT THAT SUBJECT.
[sandytob] fantasia I know….but I just wanted everyone to not be disappointed when they don't see it on forex.
[sandytob] [lxxxxxx] Guys maybe just maybe the plan is not to see a change in forex, cbi, or the UN… Can you wrap your arms around that I can
[jetpack] anyone looking to forex at as a clue will be disappointed again, it will not show there first IMHO and years of being on this ride and knowledge lol
[KajunRedBull] RV to show all at one time, it was held up, now some say rv for 91 or so countries with rest to follow….who knows anymore!??
[Jamison] heyu288 Dont know how or what timing they plan to do it. We will find out in the future when it happens
[sandytob] Jamison imo, the only way we could all verify is if we had paid forex….not the public forex….that's what we have been told previously.
[Jamison] sandytob There are several possiblities, until it happens we dont know, and thats how it will be, nobody will know until the minute it happens, we just got to wait and see what happens in the future

Finding herself in a scary situation, Kim Kardashian's best pal Brittny Gastineau was recently involved in a vicious attack.
According to reports, the reality TV star was staying at the London Hotel in West Hollywood with a male companion when the pair started up a vicious fight, leading the man to hit Britt. The attack was reportedly so violent that Britt rushed to the hospital.
It won't be long before Kim Kardashian is a married woman (again) and she hit the town in Paris, France with a bunch of her female friends last night (May 22) to make the most of her fleeting singlehood.
According to an insider, the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star took her gaggle of gal pals over to the Eiffel Tower for some photo opportunities and a private party inside.
Catching up with a favorite gal pal, Kim Kardashian went to dinner with Brittny Gastineau at La Escala in Beverly Hills on Saturday (January 4).
The mama of baby North West pulled a long black coat over herself as she showed plenty of leg underneath.
She is always one to show off her skills, and on Monday (December 2) Kim Kardashian and her best friend Brittny Gastineau offered up tips on how to take the perfect selfie.
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star spilled her secrets with the help of "Extra" as she sat in a salon chair alongside her pal.
After offering birthday wishes to friend Brittny Gastineau, Kim Kardashian inadvertently raised suspicions that she is linked to the Illuminati, a conspiratorial group that theorists believe controls the world.
She's got another month to indulge herself before the little one arrives, and Kim Kardashian knew just the way to satisfy her pregnancy cravings.
Late Thursday night (June 5), the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star was surprised with a giant box of Krispy Kreme doughnuts from her BFF Brittny Gastineau.
Treating herself to a delicious dinner out, Kim Kardashian headed over to the Crustacean restaurant in Beverly Hills last night (April 17).
The "Disaster Movie" actress was joined by her close gal pal Brittny Gastineau and showed off her growing baby bump in a black blouse/black blazer combo with distressed jeans and black heels.
Stepping out for a swanky SoCal shindig, Ashley Greene hosted the launch party for NYLON Magazine's August Issue last night (July 31) in Hollywood.
The "Twilight" starlet showed up at Blok and worked her magic for the paparazzi along with a plethora of young celebrities.

- - raise boom end 6" with new sail (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-maintenance/61910-raise-boom-end-6-new-sail.html)
raise boom end 6" with new sail
I have ordered new sails and after talking with FX decided to have it cut so the clew end of my boom is raised 6" while the tack stays the same. My boom as is can scrape the top of my head if i am not careful. i had mentioned to FX that i may want to cut the new sail 6" so i could raise my boom and they suggested just raising the aft end with the sail. Is this a good idea? The boat is an '87 Pearson 27-2
When you measure for the new sail,
position the boom at the height you are
comfortable with. Then measure the
maximum leech length with the halyard at max
hoist. If the boom needs to be angled up a few
degrees to clear your head, that is fine.
Its not just fine, its a real good idea. very little affect if any on performance
Just be sure your vang has the length/reach to accommodate the extra boom lift. Otherwise I don't see any problem with doing this esp if boom clearance is an issue safety/convenience wise.
Absolutely agree with the others. I did it on an old boat of mine after a day spent in hospital with concussion and having a couple of stitches inserted.
Performance difference was nil. Comfort factor increase was considerable. Bloodstains in cockpit a thing of the past. :)
Or, stop wearing heels in the cockpit.
Thanks for the affirmation. now i can get those pumps i have been eying
I raised the aft end of the boom on the MC about 18. Not only was it safer but it also made room for our home made dodger. The pic I posted on my introduction shows about how the boom sits with the sail in use. It used to be horizontal or lower. I used the aft/leech cringle and sewed in new reefing points on an angle to the gooseneck to secure the foot of the sail. I had to slightly modify the reefing system since they were no longer parallel to the boom. Single handed a little less sail is not a bad thing. Dan S/V Marian Claire

Going into the woods on vacation any time soon? Weekend hikes? Scout trips with the kids? Backcountry treks and ascents that will challenge your body and test your determination?
Bringing any way to recharge any of the geekware you'll feel compelled to bring?
Until recently Geeks venturing into the wild carrying a lightish load of trail-mapped GPS, cell phone and digital camera faced the ridicule and abuse of thoughtless bigots who believe the sanctity of nature should be undisturbed by modern technology.
These were mostly the same people who spent half the trip complaining about the weight of their packs with 10 pounds of extraneous camera equipment and books they would spend an hour with to identify something you could tell from yards away was "a weed."
For the last few years cell phones have been so universal, even in places like New Hampshire's White Mountains that mountain rescue crews are kept as busy answering calls for directions, weather reports or requests for emergency pickup due to fatigue or blisters.
Other than expensive and often ineffective solar-power rechargers, there have been few options to recharge phones, GPS units and digital phones on the trail.
TES NewEnergy Co. would like to introduce another option: a stew-pot that lets you recharge USB-enabled devices while you cook.
The Pan Charger for Mobile Phone consists of a lightweight cooking pot with a build-in thermoelectric heat exchanger, which generates a trickle of juice while the pot is on the fire to recharge any smartphone or other device using the USB cable extending from its handle.
The charger and a range of other heat-exchange power generators is based on research into thermoelectric power generation that uses what TES describes as "waste heat" and the rest of us call (at least in the case of the stew pot) a campfire.
It comes with adapters for iPhones and works with anything with a mini-USB port, bleeding out 5 volts DC at 400 milliamps and 2-watts of total power.
Just the thing to brew up a little soup or coffee waiting for the guy with the art photography studio in his pack to finish shooting closeups of a bug you'll step on later as it tries to come get some soup.

Lining up y axes and sizing plot areas
Hi everybody!
I have two ListLinePlots of different time series analysis. They each
have the same number of data points along the x axis. I want to show
them one above the other, but have their respective time scales line
up properly, e.g., the first data points lining up and the last data
points lining up. To do this the display of the graphs themselves,
exclusive of their y axises need to be the same size.
Another way to say this, the y-axes for both charts should line up
then everything to the right of the axes should be the same width.
Mine don=92t line up because one of my plots has a integer scaled y-axis
(running from 1 to 50) and the other has a decimal scale with 2 or
sometimes 3 positions to the right of the decimal.
I have ListLinePlots, but the following will illustrate the problem:
Column[{Plot[2 Sin[x] + x, {x, 0, 15}, Filling -> Bottom],
Plot[{Sin[x], Sin[2 x], Sin[3 x]}, {x, 0, 2 Pi}]}]
Thanks in advance...

In this case these people went in to help children in need and give them a chance. Who knows what happened to their parents, dead or as L4 said it given up to a better life. Hatii is the poorest nation in the western hemisphere. Maybe Sova would like to go down there and do some good for humanity and bring us back the real picture and then see the spin he puts on it.
So I take it you think it's ok to take kids out of their country without the right paperwork ? There was nothing wrong with doing it the right way christians or not.

Photographing celebs like guitarist Slash and tennis player Serena Williams, alongside capturing beachside weddings and high-fashion shoots, requires reliable, fast equipment that works on the road. So freelance photographer Eric Blackmon depends on Seagate Backup Plus Fast portable drives to carry the untold number of digital photos he takes on a job.
Backup Plus Is Fast on Location
"I use it every day," Blackmon says of the 4TB drive. "It's super fast when transferring files to it from camera/SD cards, and it's very small so it doesn't take up much room in my camera bag." He's constantly transferring photos to the Backup Plus Fast drive while shooting on location, whether an exotic site as background for a print ad or a skate park for action pictures. Then, when he needs to transfer photos at clients' locations to review and edit images, the Fast drive is, well, fast and efficient for that too. "Time is money," Blackmon notes, "It's very fast, so that saves me time."
Storage Everywhere He Goes
With twice the capacity of other portable hard drives, it's no surprise that Blackmon's photography business has made good use of this drive. "It lets me keep years of current photos in one location," explains Blackmon.
But he's not in one location for very long. Los Angeles, California, may be his home base, but he has clients and projects all over the U.S. and even around the world. Backup Plus Fast drives are "basically an extension of my computer that I can always have with me." They go where Blackmon goes, for business and pleasure: "I also use another one that lets me travel with my entire music and movie collection on one drive."
Ideal Combination of Speed and Space
"Groundbreaking," is how Blackmon describes the 4TB Backup Plus Fast drive. "I haven't needed to use anything else since I started using these drives." This photographer may finally have met his match with a hard drive that works as hard as he does.
"Time is money. It's very fast, so that saves me time."

A Nutritionally Balanced Pizza That Can Be Eaten At Every Meal
The healthy pizza alternative that comes frozen and low in sodium and fat uses seaweed instead of salt.
UK-based company Eat Healthy believes they might have discovered the holy grail of pizza, an appetizing pie that can – and should be – eaten up to 3 times a day. If you are skeptical about this healthy alternative, rest assured, because the company promises they did not replace flavor for nutrients.
This low fat and low sodium pizza is loaded with favorable toppings like mozzarella and cheddar cheese, cherry tomatoes, red pepper and garlic powder. But there is one small twist (read: secret ingredient) — seaweed. If the idea has you running in the opposite direction, just know that the seaweed actually serves as a healthy alternative for salt on the pie. Maclean assures us, "once you apply the toppings, the flavor and smell of the seaweed is gone."
Now with a product that people are learning to love, Maclean is looking to market the healthy product in a junk food package with hopes to promote better eating habits among the younger generation. They call it the "healthy by stealth" initiative. As long as the food tastes good, there is no reason why children would be opposed to the idea of eating something green.
Maclean is confident in his company's line of pizzas, and will be looking to stock American shelves in the near future. For $5.50 a pizza, how can anyone reject a budget meal that is both healthy and delicious? Frozen pizzas never looked so good.
