Jackson X Series guitars are loaded with purebred Jackson DNA-neck-through-body construction, hot humbucking pickups, bound compound radius fingerboards with their distinctive sharkfin inlays, and stunning finishes. Classic Jackson models imbued with the X factor, with fantastic tone, ultra-fast playability and unbelievable value for 21st century guitarists.
The Jackson Soloist SLXFMG has a basswood body with a flame maple top veneer, through-body maple neck and active EMG 85 (neck) and EMG 81 (bridge) humbucking pickups that deliver well-balanced tone with tight bass, glassy mids and crunching highs. Its bound compound radius rosewood fingerboard curves more dramatically at the nut for easy chording and flattens out as it approaches the neck joint for low-action bends without fretting out. Other features include a Floyd Rose Special double-locking two-point tremolo, 24 jumbo frets and three-way pickup switching.

Comments about Jackson SLXFMG Electric Guitar:
Picked up this Jackson last week and had it shipped to the Guitar Center brand-new. It plays awesome. All the frets play great with no bad ones. The pickups sound good and once I got the strings in check, it has not gone out of tune since (and I'm am a heavy whammy bar player). The black transparent color is looks great too.
Only gripe was that when I tuned to 440 standard - the Floyd pulled up. I took it into the GC the next day and for a small fee - they fixed it right up.
When considering this guitar, I also looked at the Ibanez S670QM and hands down, the Jackson won. The Ibanez just seemed cheaply made.
If this is your price range for a guitar, you can't go wrong. Rock on!

Following Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's lionizing statement on the death of Fidel Castro, people started to wonder why he would pay such generous tribute to a murderous dictator. The Internet, of course, has the answer: Trudeau is Castro's secret son.
On Saturday, Mr. Trudeau was mocked and criticized for sympathetic words towards Fidel Castro. He praised the Communist dictator as a "remarkable leader" and "legendary revolutionary." He also said that he learned of Castro's death with "deep sorrow".
The Internet's favorite conspiracy theory right now is that Justin Trudeau is actually the son of Fidel Castro — and that there's concrete "evidence" to prove that.
So what's the evidence, Dear Internet?
Many point out to Margaret Trudeau, the mother of Justin, who allegedly (yes, allegedly) had extra-marital affairs with other people like US Senator Ted Kennedy and was associated with members of the Rolling Stones. Online conspiracy theorists claim Mrs. Trudeau had an extra-marital relationship with Castro back in the day.
After all, she fondly remembers her trip to Cuba with then-baby Justin in the 1960s, telling The National Post: "Fidel made it clear in his opening remarks that the parents were important but not nearly as important as the baby. In some pictures Fidel had a big patch of wet saliva on his uniform because he had come over early to cuddle the baby."
Mrs. Trudeau also recalls Castro as a "very warm and charming man – I enjoyed him."
Another so-called "proof" showing that Trudeau is the dictator's son is their "striking" resemblance:
Now, no conspiracy theory would be complete without having gaps in the evidence that would actually make it a remotely credible theory. There's no documented evidence that Trudeau's mother met Castro in 1970 – the year they were supposed to have the affair, as Justin was born in 1971.
The first contact between the Trudeau family and Fidel Castro indeed came in 1970, but it was purely diplomatic (Justin's father, Pierre, of course was prime minister of Canada) and didn't include state visits.
According to The Globe and Mail:
Pierre Trudeau's and Fidel Castro's paths crossed for the first time in 1970, when the Canadian government sought to negotiate the exile of members of the FLQ, who had kidnapped British trade commissioner James Cross. Fidel Castro obliged the Canadian PM by providing a refuge, and in a private letter Mr. Trudeau later extended his heartfelt gratitude.
It appears that the conspiracy theorists will have to work overtime to make this one stick.

what should I get pierced my boobs belly button tongue and down below
Most Helpful Guy
I have never seen a girl who was more attractive because she had a tattoo or a piercing. What you think is cool right now will seem stupid 5, 10, 20 years from now. What if you had decided to get a tattoo when you were 5 years old? It would probably be something stupid, right? That's because you have changed so much in the past 10 years. The next 10 years will bring significant changes to you and you will look back on how you were at 15 and be amazed at some of the things you did. Ten or twenty years from now, plastic surgeons will be making a living removing tattoos. The same rationale applies to piercings.00|00|0

The cluster of differentiation (CD) system is commonly used as cell markers in immunophynotyping. Different kinds of cells in the immune system can be identified through the surface CD molecules which associating with the immune function of the cell. There are more than 320 CD unique clusters and subclusters have been identified. Some of the CD molecules serve as receptors or ligands important to the cell through initiating a signal cascade which then alter the behavior of the cell. Some CD proteins do not take part in cell signal process but have other functions such as cell adhesion. CD300 is a glycoprotein family of cell surface molecules that regulate a diverse array of cell processes via their triggering and inhibitory receptor functions. The CD300 family of myeloid immunoglobulin receptors includes activating(CD300b, CD300e) and inhibitory members(CD300a, CD300f), as well as CD300c and CD300d, whose function is uncertain.

Authors Note: More Sherlock and Watson! Hope you enjoy! I'm still figuring out how to write a fan fiction. Fingers crossed it is somewhat cute!
Lock and Key
"Morning" Sherlock said as he entered into the kitchen, digging through the kitchen cupboards.
"Oh good morning" John said as he put down the newspaper. "I made pancakes."
John turned and looked at Sherlock who had stopped searching for food.
"Hm?" John asked.
"No I don't seem to be hungry."
John rolled his eyes. "You didn't eat yesterday. Sit down. I mad them for your birthday."
"Yes I see."
There was a pause of silence in the room. John shifted in his seat.
Sherlock wasn't hungry, just bored. There is a fine line between the two. Sherlock studied the plate of pancakes that was perched on the counter. There was simply no room on the table for it.
"Alright. I suppose I will have them." After all, John had woken up quite early, before himself which was surprising, just to make him these. Might as well show some respect.
He grabbed the plate and went to sit down in his brown arm chair. He pretended not to notice the brief smile that John had dancing on his lips.
"Happy Birthday by the way."
" Yes," he said, dragging out the word as he said it.
John lifted himself off his chair and walked over to the mantle to grab a small red box.
"It appears you missed this on your way over."
Sherlock shook his head and finished his bite of pancake before speaking.
"Actually, I didn't miss it. I noticed it before I walked into the kitchen today. How could I miss something like that? Seriously John. It's big and loud, and quite obnoxious to be perched on a mantle piece."
John stopped to look at the box he was trying to give his friend. It was really small, and he was almost positive he himself wouldn't have seen it there.
"Okay... Here." he said, not explaining himself and dropping the gift onto Sherlocks lap.
"Happy birthday and whatever, I am going to shower."
Sherlock pretended not to care.
But the moment John had left the room, Sherlock immediately put down his plate of pancakes to study the box. He tried to keep his joy contained within him. John had gotten him a gift, and surprisingly, he couldn't tell what it was. That was the best part. All he could tell was that it was small and light.
He removed the blue bow and took the top off. He still couldn't tell what it was.
He peeled away the layer of tissue paper that stood between him, and his gift from John.
A key.
There was a note tied around it.
"Happy Birthday.
Guess what this opens.
Sherlock studied the key. The edges were Partially jagged, but unusually smooth for a key. The top was an intricate design of circles and flat edges. There were no words or numbers inscribed on it, and it didn't appear to have been used before.
Sherlocks mind was racing. Where would Watson have gotten a key like this? What would it open? Sherlock considered searching the room for possible locks to open it with, but he couldn't decide whether or not John would have been one to hide it in the room he sat in now, or somewhere else. It could be anywhere in London.
Curiosity had bitten Sherlock like a bug now, and he was going through all of the possibilities.
It was half an hour later that John got out of the shower and entered the main living space.
Sherlocks hands were suddenly grabbing at his shoulders.
"This key. This damned key! What does it open huh? A chest, a box, a room? Where do I find it? Is it in this room? No you are too wise to hide it here arent you? AREN'T YOU?"
Sherlocks mouth was moving so fast John couldn't keep up with it.
"Calm yourself!" he shouted, showing Sherlock back to his chair. "Did you ever just think maybe it's a key? Just a pretty key?"
Sherlock snickered. His mind was still racing.
"Oh please you wouldn't do that. Would you? WOULD YOU? This has to lead to something! It has to!"
There was a pause. Sherlock thought about it. Did it actually open anything? He wondered.
"I swear John I will search all of London to find out what this key belongs to."
John shrugged. "It will surely be an adventure for you. You won't be bored anymore."
Sherlock nodded. This present was the most exciting thing to happen in the past week. But did it really belong to anything? He'd have to start searching right away.
John smiled as Sherlock studied the key once more.
It did in fact belong to something, and that something was John.
It was just up to Sherlock to discover that.

The Tree of Life has roots that lie deep within the Dark Chasms.[1]
The tree is said to have been planted by Galana herself at the creation of Titan. Its roots go deep and if cut reform almost immediately. It is therefore almost impossible to kill. However, it can be poisoned by Evil, and was being so by the Malice of Orghuz until he was destroyed by Tancred's Heir.
It is a vessel for the spirit of life and should it be destroyed it would diminish the power of life within Titan. Although the extent to which it would do this is not known, it is thought that this tree has a powerful effect on the world immediately around it. So its destiny is tied closely with that of the Gaddon for instance and probably to the people of Gorak, although they are oblivious to it. The tree has a guardian, an ancient Gaddon man who is tied inextricably to the tree in mind, body and spirit. It has been said that when resting on its roots the old man almost becomes part of the tree. Gregory the Axeman, a Gaddon Man of noble descent is the servant of the guardian and his association with the Tree has extended his life considerably.

text: Hi everyone, I'm very new to the world of commercial mowers but got tired of mowing my 3/4 acre property with a 22" mower so I bought a Red-Hawk 48" mower w/ Kohler 18HP engine brand new in August of last year. The mower arrived and was working beautifully. I stored the mower in my garage and this season put in fresh gas and checked the oil and cannot start it. Just to be sure I replaced the spark plug and checked the gap but nothing. The mower won't turn over at all. Anyone have any thoughts before I retain a local shop. I'm not thrilled about paying to service a mower with less than 10 hours of service. Thanks in advance Joe

Spotless and spacious. The road in is fun. Our 2 wheel drive rental sedan handled it just fine. Sunset on the deck is perfect.
Our Family had a great time staying in this cabin over the 2016 Christmas weekend. We had the pleasure of experiencing a white Christmas with lots of snow for the kids to play. The location is great for a quiet getaway from the city with only one house in sight. This cabin has all the essentials (some minor items that can be easily overlooked). The cabin was clean and has an open layout with separate Master and Guest bedroom (big master bath!). It is a dirt road and a steep hill getting there, would recommend AWD in rainy or snowy days. Overall a great travel experience from owner who responded quickly to all my questions.
Just came back from our stay. It is private and affordable. We enjoyed our stay overall. I would recommend that you drive a truck at least or 4x4 or AWD to access this property especially if rain or snow is the weather forecast. The Lynx Creek did have some water in it and we metal detected for gold which was fun. I would give the unit 5 star however I didn't realize we needed to bring our own paper towels, kitchen sponge and a few other small items that most the units I've stayed in provide at least those items. You may also want to check the forest service forecast b/c the area had a contained fire which the highway posted as we drove into Prescott but it made the whole area surrounding the cabin smoky and unbreathable outside for a period of time which my folks could not handle and we had to leave the area. This of course is not the owners fault but maybe just an oversight as usually when a controlled fire will be completed they must notify the residents in the area. You will enjoy the huge deck much more without smoke everywhere. Gorgeous Views. The home was very clean and we had no issues with that as I saw other reviews stated otherwise. I would stay here again we had a relaxing few days overall.
We had a great visit.... loved it
Julie from Florida
Unfortunately I would not be calling this place a "vacation rental", escpecially one that me and my wife are spending our five year anniversary in...it was so bad that it brought her to tears.
We had to buy blankets to cover the couch and the bed, and then separate ones to cover ourselves.
In the guest bedroom the bedding is ripped so with that I opted for my daughter to sleep with us.
The floors where so dirty we went out and bought a Swiffer to clean the floors. As far as the throw rugs and carpets are concerned...well...there is dog hair all over the one in the den area (including the couch) and a dried piece of chewing gum under the table, the rugs are so bad that we used a rag to clean a bit of soap that fell on the one outside the shower and turned the rag brown (terrible). My daughter (she's 2yrs old) has been moving about the house with her socks on and the socks are absolutely filthy in the matter of few hours, mostly from the carpets/rugs because we cleaned the floor.
Now on top of the filthy floors, the side Anderson Frenchwood doors had been leaking and the floor is severely buckled. The door had daylight showing in because of poor alignment and missing handles. The water damage had left a terrible musty smell of mold/mildew, now I would not be surprised if the subflooring was still wet under the laminate floors. This is a huge concern for anyone, but my wife has an autoimmune disease that makes her extremely sensitive to this.
Broken/cracked/loose tiles throughout kitchen.
We also bought Clorox wipes to clean tables, chairs, toilets, and the garbage can. The garbage can in the kitchen had so much food drippings and food particles stuck to it. Everything had something stuck to it.
The couch has stains of "something" on it. Totally unacceptable. (that's why we bought a blanket to cover it)
There is a paint pan/tray taped to the floor in the master bedroom...what?!
There are visible leaks from most of the windows and the front door...im sure adding to the mildew smell
The battery was dead in the smoke alarm in the basement was beeping for two nights before I had enough and changed it.
The out door patio furniture, most of it does not match...and most of it is broken besides three chairs. Why is it here if it is broken?
...more...but I don't have enough characters to write it...we searched franticly for a new rental and thankfully found one, we left our stay at this house early because of its poor condition...not a vacation rental...
This is a beautiful log cabin in a very quiet location - only one neighbor nearby. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck and enjoying the cooler weather. It is at the end of a very rough dirt/gravel road so it's very helpful to have a 4WD vehicle. The cabin needs numerous small repairs and is for sale, but these were small annoyances. None of it interfered with with our enjoyment of the place.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
These types of situations are always difficult. You are at somewhat of a disadvantage if you do not have such stipulations in writing which was agreed upon before taking occupancy. None the less most jurisdictions allow eviction from any property with adequate notice for almost any reason.
You need to clearly spell out in writing your full expectations. This is typically done in a "cease and desist" letter. If the behavior does not stop then it should be made aware that you fully intend to evict. When and if to begin the eviction process is up to you. Note that such laws very by jurisdiction but you typically need to provide a notice of eviction 14 days before the date of eviction (commonly called a 2 week notice). If the tenant has not left the property by the end of that time then you are within your rights to bring legal action toward the individual and/or contact the authorities and have the person forcibly removed.
Legally in most jurisdictions you can immediately send an eviction notice if you want them out. It's better however to first provide a "cease and desist" letter. The reason for this is that it shows that you acted in "good faith" and to try and correct undesired behavior before evicting. This is important should the tenant choose to take legal action against you.
In most cases the threat of legal action against an individual is sufficient enough to motivate them to change or find a new residence. During this time you will need to seek a new tenant if you would like to continue to keep the space occupied.

Roger Clemens got an All-Star break Wednesday when his trial, scheduled to begin in April, was postponed until July by a federal court judge.
The reason: His defense team needs more time to review some of approximately 54,000 pages of evidence produced by the prosecution.
The court will determine whether Clemens, 48, lied about using performance enhancing drugs.
Clemens' attorney Rusty Hardin said an expert would be hired to examine scientific evidence, likely to include the syringes that Clemens' former trainer Brian McNamee said he used to inject the seven-time Cy Young Award winner.
Hardin will seek a subpoena to obtain evidence obtained by George Mitchell and the congressional panel. The Mitchell Commission maintains that turning over such evidence would violate attorney-client privilege, while the House panel claims it would violate and separation of powers between legislative and judicial branches.
Clemens, who took notes during Wednesday's 30-minute hearing, pleaded not guilty on Aug. 30. He is charged with three counts of making false statements, two counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of Congress and faces maximum penalties totaling 30 years in prison and $1.5 million.
Ultimately, the trial is expected to last about six weeks.

Mechanic cannot find anything wrong.
smother a little when ac is on but it feels like it wants to turn off
I first noticed the noise a week ago upon start up and then it got worse upon entering the fwy
The sun visor keeps breaking and falling down half way. I have replaced both two times. How can this be repaired?
Now the fuse is blowing when I try to start the car....... It's labeled snsr2 #19 on the diagram. What is this.... What do I need to replace....
my engin not working when car is stop
I heard a whne noise/growl when turning steering wheel a sharp turn so almost all the way to right, checked pwr steering fluid it was only down about a tablespoon so got fluid put it in and noise stopped totally. Checked the boot by taking clamp off and there was fluid in it. Is this normal? Does it mean the rack is bad and if so how do I change it. I am a mechanic. but not up on Hyundais so wanted to know how to change the rack. thanks!
Just bought this Sonata a week ago. Found that passenger side power locks do not work on front nor rear doors. Tried locking/unlocking from all doors with same results. Driver side locks working fine. Suggestions as to what the problem is? I'm thinking this will not be covered in the used car warranty. Thanks.
Was driving on interstate the other day and car started puttering and when I pulled over it was smoking and leaking oil. Was told by a friend that it might be in the engine rod. How much would a repair like that cost? Is it time to just put her down?
Smoke was coming from my exhaust then the check engine light came on and the rpm hand was moving by itself and then it shut off.. it starts up then turns right back off. What could it be?
car would not start, jumped it. It started just fine until the following night , went to leave and realized I did not have headlights, then battery was dead once car shut off. Now car is being jumped constantly to get started. Is it battery or something electrical. Is it normal for both headlights to go at the same exact time?

Usher has 'nothing to do with Justin Bieber's private parts'
Usher wants "nothing to do with Justin Bieber's private parts".
The 37-year-old singer has said he has no advice for the 'Let Me Love You' hitmaker after nude pictures of his manhood leaked online and has said it is "his prerogative" what he does in his spare time.
The 'Yeah!' hitmaker - who helped launch the Canadian pop star's career with his manager Scooter Braun - said: "He does have a brain of his own. He listens he has a mind of his own. What he chose to do with his penis is his prerogative you know what I'm saying.
"He's managing that aspect of his life. I have nothing to do with Justin Bieber's private parts."
Meanwhile, the R&B superstar admits that while he always gives his protege his opinion he doesn't feel he has to be his life mentor because Justin is so young and he won't judge him on his past mistakes.
He told Howard Stern on his SiriusXM radio show: "I mean, as a mentor, he's accepted my opinion, I give my perspective. He's like a child to me so I don't necessarily feel like his business [coach].
"I feel like I'm talking to someone who has hardships. Like, if you child ever has difficulties ... anyone listening understands nobody's perfect."
The 22-year-old hunk was holidaying in Bora Bora in 2015 when the intimate pictures were taken and he worried his manhood would look less-than-impressive in the pictures.
He said: "I was scared. I first saw the one with the black bar over it. I was like, 'Oh, my God. I just got out of the water. Shrinkage is real.'"
However, it seems he had nothing to worry about.
He added: "No, no. That's as big as she gets."

Let ${\bf X}={\bf H}\backslash{\bf G}$ be a homogeneous spherical variety for a split reductive group ${\bf G}$ over the integers $\frak o$ of a $p$-adic field $k$, and $K={\bf G}(\frak o)$ a hyperspecial maximal compact subgroup of $G={\bf G}(k)$. We compute eigenfunctions (``spherical functions'') on $X={\bf X}(k)$ under the action of the unramified (or spherical) Hecke algebra of $G$, generalizing many classical results of ``Casselman-Shalika'' type. Under some additional assumptions on ${\bf X}$ we also prove a variant of the formula which involves a certain quotient of $L$-values, and we present several applications such as: (1) a statement on ``good test vectors'' in the multiplicity-free case (namely, that an $H$-invariant functional on an irreducible unramified representation $\pi$ is non-zero on $\pi^K$), (2) the unramified Plancherel formula for $X$, including a formula for the ``Tamagawa measure'' of ${\bf X}(\frak o)$, and (3) a computation of the most continuous part of ${\bf H}$-period integrals of principal Eisenstein series.

My primary goal of this example is to demonstrate something cool in LabVIEW. I hope to have accomplished a few things: Demonstrate cool LV capabilities such as scripting and XNodes in new and interesting ways and to share my vision for a new type of math tool in LabVIEW that is based on G, but leverages the power of other tools such as Mathematica, Math Type, LaTeX, and others. In short, I utilize the power of LaTeX and MathML to quickly and easily share equations between all of these programs (and even Wikipedia) and implement them in native G code in LabVIEW.
At the heart of the code is an expression parser which uses the Shunting Yard algorithm to convert math expressions to G code using scripting. On top of this, I have written parsers which convert both MathML and LaTeX to regular expressions which can then be converted to G. With this ability, it is very easy to transfer equations to LabVIEW. In addition, with the use of freely available software (MikTeX and Ghostscript) this tool will automatically place beautifully formatted equations as labels next to the G code. The generated code can be placed on the clipboard for pasting, put into a new VI, or saved as a Math Snippet. The Math Snippets contain the LaTeX or MathML used for the equation and label and they can be loaded and edited by the tool, a great timesaver.
As a bonus, I have taken things to the next level. While G code is beautiful for many things, complex equations can be difficult to follow and debug. Therefore, I have included an XNode which encapsulates the G code and presents only a Typeset equation and a set of terminals. Think formula node with LaTeX typesetting.
Finally, it may not be practical, but one of the flat-out coolest things I have done with LabVIEW is to use the Math Input Control of Windows 7 to write out an equation by hand (scribble really), and see that handwritten code turned automatically into G. Now you can do that too if you have Windows 7.
The code is Windows only since I do not have Mac access. Most of the Windows only functionality is in clipboard functions and system exec calls to execute the external tools, which should be fairly easy to port for those interested.
Three tools are included in this example.
Convert Math Expression to G: Takes code written in MathML, LaTeX, or normal text (y=a+b) and converts it to G with a nicely typeset label (if you install LaTeX and Ghostscript). You can also launch the Math Input Control and the result is automatically placed into the control, or go to a Wikipedia page and copy and equation and you can paste the code into the controls automatically. With Wikipedia, you can either use the web image as the label or tweak the LaTeX as you desire.
Math Node.xnode: When you drop this XNode onto a block diagram, a dialog box appears which is very similar in feel to the Convert Math Expression to G tool. You can load math snippets, or generate code in many of the same ways. When you are finished, you get a beautiful node powered by G under the hood. My knowledge of XNodes is primarily from reverse engineering the ones in vi.lib and this code should be considered a hack. It does however, demonstrate a Math Node I would like to see as a fully integrated tool in LV's arsenal. Plus, with scripting fully supported, maybe we can get some more light shed onto XNode technology, the logical next step. Note: the terminals are fully type adapting, need an array, or cluster, just wire it in. If you can wire it to the math primitives, you should be able to wire it up to the math node. Much of the underlying code is the same as the Convert Math Expression VI to G, I just keep them namespaced since having an XNode in memory reserves the SubVIs and prevents editing.
G shortcut for Quick Drop: Just a bonus tool I use to convert Greek symbols in control labels to Greek, so things like \alpha or \beta are converted to Symbol font. Some LV bugginess with copy and paste of formatting in terminal labels, but the front panel looks good. Shift-G undoes the greek-ification.
A math snippet with embedded information about the equations used for the G and the label. You can open this in either the ConvertMathExpressionToG.vi or the Math Node configuration dialog to edit the code.

I am a big fan of all your work, but this is just magical!
We're not worthy! We're not worthy!
I got to admit I feel I am worthy. I think you have an interesting idea here but I'm not a fan of the way you executed it. In my opinion I find your BD to be messy and not well documented. I think you over use local variables and do not have proper error handling in place.

Awesome! This would've been so useful in my research days where I was constantly switching between LabVIEW, Mathematica, and LaTeX!
If you can't beat 'em, cojoin 'em. Excellent bridge from formal math to LabVIEW.
This is really impressive - thank you for working on this and for sharing it with everyone.
Well, I suppose it's not bad... It is somewhat un-worthless and completely non-useless. If I close one eye and hold my hand up to partially cover the screen when viewing the block diagrams I can suppress the gagging reflex All fun aside, fantastic code – not as cool as my guitar tuner, but fantastic nonetheless, thanks!
This is a great concept that will help a lot of engineers make the transition from theory to practice when programming. Likewise, it looks like documentation in Block Diagrams with complex math will be greatly improved. I can't wait until I have a need to use this in an application.

Negative comments without proof of contribution to the community is harmful, self-centered, egotistical. If you think you could do better, then why aren't your contributions being displayed? Why aren't you the one to submit this contribution? Please, next time just keep your comments to yourself, or be more helpful on how things could be optimized for the next version of it. This is a valid and useful tool no matter how you look at it. Maybe not needed by a great many of people but the people that do need it are grateful they don't have to reinvent the wheel.
Great work, please keep up the contributions. The community has been strengthened by your efforts.

Everybody is entitled to his opinions, so let's not fall into the same trap and start name calling. Each reader can easily judge the "weight" of a comment based on other contributions of the same author.
I agree that Darin's code is absolutely stellar and very well organized. 99% of the users here in the forum could learn something about code structure! Considering that most of this was written under time pressure and in spare time makes it even more impressive.
Yes, there are locals, but they are confined to the toplevel UI loop where they belong. The locals only contain simple data structures (scalars, booleans). There are other ways to do this, but it is perfectly OK the way it is done here. It is also quite self-documenting.
Yes, there are very few diagram comments and they are really not needed! The program is well structured with simple modular subVIs that have descriptive names and have easy to understand "bite sized" code. The subVIs are even color coded by functional group. (There are none of these overzealous redundant comments we see often elsewhere, e.g. "Here we read the binary file" right above the binary file read icon which is also showing its label ).)
What is obvious from looking at the code is that it is written by somebody with lots of experience. Miles of wires were strung before this code was written!!
I could not find any flaws in the program structure and fully agree with the assessment of Jeff K over here.
Congratulation..Its very great work.. I would like to know whether it will support the advanced Math functions like Bessel?.. Does it support complex datatypes?
Please point me to your "contribution to the community."
Is it possible to create a version of the clipboard dll's that work with the 64bit version of LabVIEW?
Absolutely amazing! Wished I had this while doing my dissertation, no more retyping every single equation twice in LaTex and Matlab/Mathscript Node!
Its just amazing. Great work!!
Gd job bro...U rocks ..I really need this for development of an exoskeleton project..
Cool! But this is supposed to work with tek and ghostscript not installed, right? I tried the first video example (copy from Wikipedia) and can't seem to get anywhere (nothing appears in any of the panels when I try to copy from wikipedia or from any other source).
Then I typed \gamma = \frac{x}{y} as a Latex example (not expecting it to be rendered obviously) and tried to "Preview", which gave me the correct block diagram plus a bonus (see below).
I am using IE 8...
It should work in a limited fashion without TeX or GS, it looks like you are using a patched LV10 with IE8. Not sure I tried it with that combo (I never use IE, and rarely use LV10), I will attempt to this weekend. I should be ready to update one of these days as well.
One question: 32-bit or 64-bit? I don't have LV on any 64-bit OS.
I tried with Firefox, and that seems to solve the Wikipedia issue. It still returns the internal error though (it's actually just a warning, LV does not crash).
Interestingly, I could not find a way to "copy" only in Chrome. My only options are to copy the image or the URL...
I am using LV 2010f2 32 bits.
Copy Image should work in Chrome, it puts the proper HTML fragment onto the clipboard (at least for me).
How do you do that (Chrome)? I tried to select, Copy image then use either <--Clipboard or <--Wikipedia but nothing happens :-(
For me (LV9 + Chrome+XP) I select, right-click 'Copy Image' then use '<-- Wikipedia' . The LaTeX appears in the G Code string and the URL appears in the Label.
Yes, it seems to be a LV10 issue. I just tried all the above in LV9 SP1 and it works as described in IE8 and Chrome (I am using XP as well).
Thanks for the info, I'll try to look into the LV10 issue. I very rarely use it these days, LV9 seems quite rugged by comparison.
A colleague of mine suggested providing the opposite functionality too: starting from a mess of wires supposed to implement an equation, generate the corresponding LaTeX formatted equation (you don't need to simplify it algebraically!). Don't hate me, I am just the messenger! But I admit that it would be cool, just to make sure that a formula is implemented properly...
Kudos on this one!!!!
Absolutely awesome! I am looking forward to try this out tonight.
Very nice, but there is problem with localized decimal point. For example when set 2,34(localized ,), program hung-up. When LV is set to local decimal point and I set in your tools decimal point(.) LV cut decimal point and number.
This is pretty cool, Darin. I am thinking about how to use this in an application where the user would be entering a custom equation for data processing and the code to handle the equation would be created on the fly. Is this even possible? (I know my co-worker lives by the phrase "Anything is possible with LabVIEW", but even LV has it's limitations) ;-)
I know you just thought, "duh, that's what I just did." I'm talking about integrating this into an app where the LaTex translated G would be created and called from within the app at run-time, not as part of the development of the app.
Also, where can I get that "Edit Connector Pane..." add-on? That's pretty sweet as well.
I made the same experience as X-). I'm also using Labview 10.0f2 and it doesn't work here either. Though I'm getting no error message, but Labview crashes completely.
Great tool! There does seem to be an issue in order of operations in the "IsOperator.vi" The default value of the array on the front panel has the subtraction as higher precedence than multiply and divide.
My version has +,-,/,*,^ in that order, precedence is given by the index so the last element has higher precedence.
In case you need to change it, you found the spot.
Pure wizardry. I am blown away. -drew
Superb addition to LabVIEW!! Awesome!
One question: Is it possible for us to add functionalities? For example I use the "Add array elements" very often, and I would like to incorporate a function named "sum()", which would be replaced by the aforementioned VI.
I can pretty reliably chrash Labview, by entering this formula in the 'Converter', and try to convert it.
\frac{(R * K) + (R * K)}{K - R}
(I know this also could be shortened, but this was not what I needed, its just what I could boil the example down to, and still get LV to chrash.)
From the chrash report:
DAbort 0x1A7102DF in fpsane.cpp
Version: 14.0.1f3 (32-bit)
Any plans to release a 64 bit version of the tool?
There is a couple of DLLs which break the whole thing in LV 64 bit:
I installed LV 2015 32 bit to have a go at a text to G conversion I was not looking forward to implement manually and I managed to crash the VI (and LabVIEW: DAbort 0x1A7102DF in fpsane.cpp error, line 547) with the Preview button.
Here is the plain text formula I pasted in the String for G code control:
(-r + (-1 + y^(-1))^(1/6))/(6*exp((-r + (-1 + y^(-1))^(1/6))^2/(2*s^2))*sqrt(2*Pi)*s^3*(-1 + y^(-1))^(5/6)*y^2)
[It is a Wolfram Alpha plaintext output - from Mathematica, with a few edits of mine, such as replacing e^ by exp].
The diagram creation seems to work fine until the final steps of cleanup when the crash occurs.
These subparts of the expression work fine:
(-r + (-1 + y^(-1))^(1/6))/(6*exp((-r + (-1 + y^(-1))^(1/6))^2/(2*s^2)))
Sqrt(2*Pi)*s^3*(-1 + y^(-1))^(5/6)*y^2
Trying to multiply or divide them and the crash occurs.
I know this is not how you demo your code, but I thought you might be interested in this failure of expression handling.
BTW, I added \sqrt in the array of LaTeX Commands (in ToLaTeXFunctions.vi). Not sure whether this is necessary, but since the expressions above go through that step I had to take a look.
EDIT: I verified that miktex and ghostscript where properly installed by checking that the LaTeX output of Mathematica was interpreted correctly in the "label" control:
e^{-\frac{\left(\sqrt[6]{\frac{1}{y}-1}-r\right)^2}{2 s^2}}}{6
\sqrt{2 \pi } s^3 \left(\frac{1}{y}-1\right)^{5/6} y^2}
Using this LaTeX version (after cleaning) in the "string for G code" control results in the same crash...
Just for info, the toolset crashes in CleanBlockDiagram.vi.
I modified the above expression as z = ... to check whether this was due to a lack of output terminal, but that appears not to be the case.
Right before the call to that VI, the VI being built looks like this:
Clearly, it has a lot of things wrong at this stage...

We booked this hotel for the night before our early flight to Mexico. I expected a clean comfy room. We were told the room and up to 14 days parking would cost $156. with tax. There was a sign that said they would charge $50. for using a debit card. Immediately after running my debit card for the room, my bank texted me telling me the amount we were charged. It was the $156 PLUS $76 more. The front desk people were very rude when I confronted them about the extra charge. I had checks still out from bills. We had to get back in the car, roam around to find a bank open to transfer moneys into our account to keep from bouncing our checks before we even went to our room.We barely made it to the bank before they closed. After roaming threw Cleveland to the bank, we got back to our room to find it very dusty, the remote didn't work. I washed out the dusty coffee pot and made coffee for the next morning. Since we only had enough coffee for 2 cups, w e asked for a cup of coffee and were told they werent making coffee for 3 more hours. We were told we would have a shuttle service from the airport back to the hotel
we waited for 30 minutes before I had to call..
The Weston in Detroit is so much better. It is clean courteous,they unload your luggage, park your car, they even bring your vehical to the door of the hotel for you when you return from your trip. This Sheriton could take a lesson and loose their snooty attitude.

MY Dear Son:
You are only 3 years old, and have only a vague sense of the tumult and sadness in the city since Sept. 11. I imagine that the passage of a decade will let you read this with maturity and perspective. What I cannot predict are the circumstances of our family or our city on that day. But during a week in which the threat of bioterrorism grew, a week in which a 7-month-old boy in the city was sickened by anthrax, I offer you the thoughts I have already shared with your 12-year-old brother.
In the streets, at your school or sitting at our kitchen table, I have talked to many other parents who share my apprehension. For many of us, the anthrax-infected baby has been an emotional tipping point, scary in a different way from massive burning towers crashing to earth.
Every normal parent instinctively wants to protect his or her child. Some of your friends' parents have told me that they have thought, if only fleetingly, of moving to the suburbs or to a small city. Or they have flirted with the idea of buying gas masks or guns or stockpiling antibiotics. Or they just wonder whether to take their children on the subway.
For now, your father, your brother and I have decided we want to stay in the city. The only way we know to help heal New York's bruised spirit is to turn inward, to take the long view. This is not just a battle against terrorism or even a test of bravery. It is about life's fragility and uncertainty suddenly writ large.
So here we are, trying to balance self-preservation and the desire to continue the life we came to New York to create.Continue reading the main story
Unlike me and your father, you are a native New Yorker. This has been your only home. By the time you were 2, you knew how to hail a taxi. When the doorbell rings, you ask if dinner is being delivered, the food made with recipes that come from places like Japan, Mexico and India. Everybody and everything is here in this city, which has a spirit of adventure, defiance and eccentricity unlike anywhere else.
In our own little universe, the characters include the dancing man with the feather in his hat who makes you laugh when he sweeps our Manhattan block, and the microscopic dogs at which you bark as they are escorted down the street by their sweet old ladies.
This a wonderful city, son, because there are enough people here who try to get along, who try to understand one another. In our family, in which your father and I have different skin colors and different religions and your older brother was born of your father's former marriage, difference is more than a notion. We have friends who are gay, who have fled war, whose parents were in concentration camps. In this city, with its critical mass of outsiders, survivors and strivers, many of us find a measure of comfort that is lacking in most places.
Your maternal grandparents are refugees from the Deep South. They fled the back of the bus, inferior schools, physical brutality. They settled in Chicago, but your mother was determined to conquer New York. None of your grandfather's five brothers learned to read and write because of educational apartheid, but here I sit off Times Square, a staff writer for one of the best newspapers in the world.
Your father spoke only serviceable English when he came here from Italy 20 years ago, lured by everything from J. D. Salinger's books to the myth of the melting pot. But this city allowed him to thrive as a psychotherapist.
Our triumphs are not simply self-congratulation. Rather, they reflect a collective triumph of New York's brand of American reinvention. Reinvention of law, custom, self.
If we flee the city, family by family, who will be left? And will we be targets somewhere else? New York is more than where we live. It represents our guts, our idealism, our loathing for cookie-cutter living. As your brother says, the men who flew into the twin towers that Tuesday morning as you sat at home watching cartoons will win if we retreat. We will only leave if there is a strong chance that our lives are at stake.
Despite what happens, and despite where we make our home by the time you read this letter, son, remember that we are New Yorkers.
Love Always,
MommyContinue reading the main story

Here are some comparisons between the broad goals outlined by Gov. Chris Christie when he announced his Atlantic City plan in July and the bills he signed Tuesday.
Christie plan and legislation: Create a casino and tourism district that would receive special public works and law-enforcement services.
Christie: Tourism district would be run by a public-private partnership.
Legislation: Tourism district to be run by the state Casino Reinvestment Development Authority.
Christie: The state would end subsidies for racetrack purses.
Legislation: Casinos will fund purses at $30 million over three years unless Internet gaming is enacted and funds purses.
Christie: Casino regulations would be reduced.
Legislation: Casino regulations will be reduced as the Division of Gaming Enforcement takes over many regulatory functions from the Casino Control Commission
Christie: Savings from casino deregulation would fund tourism district and marketing.
Legislation: Savings from casino deregulation will first go to subsidize horse-racing purses.
Christie: A.C. Convention & Visitors Authority would be absorbed by the entity that runs the tourism district.
Legislation: CRDA will absorb the ACCVA, with ACCVA employees who perform duplicate duties possibly being laid off.
Christie: Increase public safety in the tourism zone.
Legislation: A State Police-appointed commander will implement public-safety policy created with city and county officials but will not dictate the day-to-day operations of the Atlantic City Police Department.
Christie: Create fund to market Atlantic City tourism.
Legislation: Casinos will pay to market the resort, starting with $5 million to develop a marketing plan.
Christie: Casino reinvestment funds would be used exclusively in Atlantic City instead of invested statewide.
Legislation: The laws contain language limiting new casino reinvestments to Atlantic City.

Welcome to the ineedhits Search Engine Marketing blog, where we share the latest search engine and online marketing news, releases, industry trends and great DIY tips and advice.
Yahoo! is currently third runner in the race to win the hearts of online video viewers worldwide, behind Google/YouTube and News Corp's Fox Pages, including MySpace. With only 4.6 percent of the 8.36 billion video streams viewed in May of this year, Yahoo! is now making every effort to impress.
"One of our strategies is to put video everywhere you are on the Internet," said Mike Folgner, general manager for video, who joined the Sunnyvale, California-based company last year through Yahoo's acquisition of video site Jumpcut. "We're going to build a much better destination for you to access all this different content."
That destination is the revamped Yahoo! video site, set to include more user generated and media content. Yahoo! plans to feature music videos, movie trailers, television shows, and sports highlights, and has deals in place with Universal Music Group, EMI Group Plc, Associated Press and CNN to provide content. Yahoo also has plans to add video streaming to their hugely popular photo-sharing website, Flickr.
Yahoo! shares have dropped a total of 8.5 percent this year, despite the fact that it is the most visited U.S. web site. Yahoo! are aiming to attract more users to the site with the new video features, in a time when online video is booming (over 130 million Americans viewed online video in May!). "We'll be able to drive a lot of traffic at this," says Folgner.
Capitalizing on the popularity and strength of the Flickr brand could be what Yahoo! needs to boost their video popularity, however the whole venture could go a little pear shaped! As an avid Flickr user, I despair at the thought of Yahoo! adding video to the site! I also wonder what the reaction of the thousands of die-hard photography buffs will be, when their quiet life of photo stills is disturbed by a flood of moving pictures!

The Guttmacher Institute, formerly affiliated with Planned Parenthood, has just released a long research study, "Secondary Measures of Access to Abortion Services in the United States, 2011 and 2012: Gestational Age Limits, Cost, and Harassment," published in the journal, Women's Health Issues.

Since Valentine's Day this year comes on a Friday, I'm reminded of the country music hit, "Friday Night," which states emphatically that routine "Monday morning" love is not enough; Love has to "set you free," and "take you high."
Lovers want to be "barefoot in the moonlight" and on a "wide open road in a candy apple ragtop." In short, rather than to "settle" for less, everybody wants their love to be like "Friday night."
The recent wedding on "The Bachelor" — between Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici — is contemporary evidence that most young adults still want romance and passion. Even in this "hookup" culture, where marriage is declining among the poor and uneducated, the ideal is romance and marriage.
Despite being up against the Grammy Awards and the NFL Pro Bowl, the number of people watching Sean and Catherine's wedding was up by 53 percent in total viewers and up by 60 percent among adults aged 18 to 49 over the wedding of another "Bachelor" couple a year ago, and it ranked second among young women to the Grammy Awards.[…]
Editor's Note: Click here to read the remainder of this article that was originally published by the Washington Times.
We were encouraged to share our beliefs and traditions while celebrating our differences. I believe we were better for it; we were more connected.
My best friend at the time was Jewish. I loved learning about the Menorah, chuckling with my friend about her family's "Hanukkah bush" decorated with lights and truth be told was a little jealous that my friend got presents for EIGHT days and I only got them on one. But then she confessed to me that she was jealous of all the presents stacked under our Christmas tree because she only got one present a day.
That was one of my "ah ha" moments – the presents aren't always more abundant on the other side.
During that week, we wished each other a Merry Christmas or a Happy Hanukkah; there was no "Happy Holidays" to toss out there for whomever to catch.
Our next door neighbors were from India and around this time of year they celebrated Dawali, the Hindu festival of lights. We would be invited to their family celebration of Dawali, and we would go merrily wishing them a Happy Dawali. I would reluctantly try some of the curried food but in all honesty found it too spicy for my immature palate. But I loved looking at the women's beautiful saris and admired the colorful lights adorning their home. I would ask the other children what they were getting for Dawali, and they'd want to know what was on my Christmas list.
On Christmas Eve, my parents had an open house and the Indian family was there every year wishing us a Merry Christmas. My dad's Jewish friend, a New York City police officer, stopped by on his way in to work the night shift so a Christian officer could have the night off to spend with his family. He always needed a package of my mother's homemade Christmas cookies to enjoy during his shift. On his way out he would shout, "Merry Christmas!" and we would respond, "Happy Hanukkah!"
Fast forward to today where "Happy Holidays" is issued forth because we don't want to offend anyone. That's ironic because lumping everyone's holy day in together actually denigrates them all. It sends the message that we don't want to really know what other people celebrate so we'll just cover everyone with a generic greeting and think the politically correct way makes everyone happy.
In an era when people broadcast personal information across the Internet through Facebook posts, Tweets and comments, they seem to want to keep their religious beliefs private. Opening up to total strangers about your personal life doesn't seem strange when people hold cell phone calls in public places but saying Merry Christmas is a step too far?
Often when I am greeted with "Happy Holidays", I want to say, "I only celebrate one, Christmas." Instead I wish them a hearty "Merry Christmas." Sometimes I'm rewarded with the greeting right back as the person seems secretly relieved they can wish their fellow man a Merry Christmas because that's what they wanted to say in the first place but felt they might offend me if they had done so. I would not have been offended if they had wished me a Happy Hanukkah or a Happy Dawali either, I would be touched they offered me a personal greeting.
When people say "Merry Christmas," "Happy Hanukkah" or "Happy Dawali" they are sharing with you what is important to them. Accept the greeting in the spirit it was delivered and share with them what is special to you. As Richard Paul Evans once said, "The universe is a trillion, trillion threads moving in seemingly unrelated directions. Yet when you look at them together, they create a remarkable tapestry." So, I wish you a Merry Christmas.
