Originally bred in the 19th period by Parson Jack Russell, an greedy hunter, elected traits that would support him in hunt. Working dogs, Jack Russell Terriers were bred to be unapprehensive and spirited to inflame out fair game from the forest, specific foxes. As a in work dog, Jack Russell Terriers be given to have an muscular body type and unlimited vim. Jack Russell Terriers are markedly intelligent, but also wilful and stubborn, which can formulate them tremendously demanding to drill without body.
As a hunting and engaged dog, Jack Russell Terriers do have the outdoor sport instinct in them and have been know to think lesser home pets quarry. However, this does not imply that they cannot be corking family unit pets. Jack Russell Terriers are typically awfully smashing next to brood and kind beside them if they comprehend how to attack dogs. Jack Russell Terriers live 15 geezerhood or more than. They bud to an border line 10 to 12 inches in rank and 14 to 18 pounds in weight. Jack Russell Terriers have respective contrastive types of coats of the shorthaired array (some are smooth, more than a few are not) but all are soft to carry on beside symmetric brush.
Jack Russell Terriers are appropriate for all kinds of living, but do need to be exercised regularly, at lowest once a day, due to their ostensibly never-ending vivacity. Without day-after-day opportunities to effort and play, they will get world-weary and fire up to yap at everything and go soul-destroying. If a Jack Russell Terrier essential be leftmost unsocial for an stretched spell of event short the opportunity to exercise, it is recommended that they be crated until it is accomplishable to let them physical exercise.Post ads:

Jack Russell Terriers are valiant and will run off short thinking. A enclosed in stretch is a essential for a Jack Russell Terrier, but the blockade needs to be thoughtful sufficient as they are diggers, and large adequate to not get done. An intermediate size Jack Russell Terrier can kick 5 feet pretty easily. There are whatever robustness concerns beside the line of descent. Some Jack Russell Terriers are prostrate to disruption of the kneecaps, inheritable eye diseases, deafness, Legg Perthes - a sickness of the hip joints, and cataracts. Currently, in attendance is any dispute around the parentage and form standards. The AKC does not formally spot the Jack Russell Terrier, well thought out a functional dog. It single properly recognizes the Parson Russell Terrier.
There is a website that has serious substance on Jack Russell Terriers and most new breeds of dogs. It has inventory that pertain to a dog breeds health, grooming, breathing conditions, top-quality supplies choices and more, the website is called: Dog And Cat Facts, and can be found at this url:

Women Reveal Dating Deal Breakers!!
According to a few ladies at YourTango.com, a few ladies are spilling the beans about their dating deal breakers. We've all been on a first date and maybe in a solid relationship, but what are those turn offs once you're committed??
1. Wear Appropriate Underwear
"The guy I was dating told me he had a fetish for wearing women's lingerie. Bye bye." -Erin, 29
2. One Word: "Mandals"
"I ended the relationship because he would not stop wearing mandals. I HATE man-sandals." -Corri, 40
3. Get Your Gambling Under Control
"The shmuck used all of my personal and banking information and signed me up for online gambling! Definite dealbreaker!" -Megan, 25
4. Enjoy The Ride
"I once broke up with a guy because he was no fun on a merry-go-round. A guy who just sits there on the back of an up-and-down horse going round and round to calliope music, who neither whoops nor pretend-spurs nor yells "Hi-ho, Silver!" or even smiles or exhibits enjoyment or FUN is not someone I should be spending my time with." -Cynthia, 70
5. Call Her, MOM
"I had been with my boyfriend of two months when he asked me to meet his mother. He called her 'mommy' the whole evening, and after listening to him ask, 'Mommy what do you want to drink?' 'Mommy can I try some of your meal?' 'Mommy do you want dessert?' I knew I couldn't date him anymore. You're a grown ass man, call her MOM." -Hailey, 26
6. Have A Group Of Friends
"When my ex and I were getting to the point in our relationship where it was time to meet each other's friends, I started to realize that I had never heard him talk about any of them. Ever. He had lived in the same place all his life (the same place we had met) and hadn't created any network of people. It really put me off, and ultimately led me to end things." -Cristina, 22
7. Don't Be Picky
"I dated a guy who could not choose where to sit whenever we went out to eat. No matter what table the hostess brought us to, he would always request to be moved, sometimes even more than once. Dude, the food is the same no matter where you sit! I just couldn't be with someone who sweats the small stuff like that, so I had to call things off." -Debbie, 30

Probing Discrete Points
Hello Foamers. I know how to employ the function object that helps one to probe a particular location for velocity, pressure, etccc. Given that I am using LES, when I do probe for the velocity, I am given the instantaneous velocity, u. However, I would like to probe for the velocity fluctuation at a given point, that is u'.
Or am I thinking about this the wrong way, because I know probing a specific point within the turbulent boundary layer in an LES solver, I will definitely see the velocity fluctuating with time. So does that mean that the u vs t that I get from using probes will display the fluctuating velocity?
Best regards,

Dana Milbank seconds my opinion, expressed yesterday, that Herman Cain is better at sloganeering than anything else. But, Milbank warns, given the fact that few people vote in primaries, and those are usually the most ideologically motivated, sloganeering may be enough.
The other day, someone said they thought that Cain was "pithy." But, pith is made of stronger stuff than Cain's vapidities. Churchill, when asked about his drinking habits, said, "I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me." Now, that's pithy.

Does it get any better than this?
A "Celebrity Curse- Off" has been founded by none other than Jimmy Kimmel. He chose a rather interesting combination of people for the debut of his clever and rather amusing contest.
Jimmy Kimmel decided to pit Julia Roberts against Sally Fields. He wants to see who has the "foulest" mouth. Well, so would we!
You're probably thinking that Sally Fields has no chance before Julia Roberts, who for some reason, seems like she can swear like there's no tomorrow. But you would be wrong. It's evident from the video that Sally Fields could teach Julia Roberts a thing or two and visibly scandalized Julia by some of the curses she had up her sleeve.
You must be wondering: are there any rules to the game? But, of course there are. They cannot just shout out any profanity that comes to their mind – it ain't so simple.
It's rather unfortunate that all the curses have been bleeped out. Still, you can make out a thing or two

The use of laser sheets is of growing interest in many measurement techniques relying on light scattering. Device performances must often be analyzed with generalized Lorenz–Mie theory, which requires the evaluation of beam shape coefficients describing the incident beams. In the case of Gaussian beams these coefficients are most efficiently computed by a localized approximation. The localized approximation procedure for Gaussian beams is here successfully generalized to the case of laser sheets.

So, AtSpeed returned my inquiry. They said "
they usually run between $1000-$1500. It all depends on how bad the damage is and whether or not you would like the reinforcement kit. So, without the kit around $1000-$1200 and with the kit $1200-$1500
." Now, they also said that they've only done a few of the repairs and reinforcements, but I'm not doubting their work.
RRT was $1768 +\- $500. I'm also checking with Induktion Motorsports since they did quite a bit of work on my VR6. They fabricate a lot of stuff, so I'm taking it to them tonight to have them take a look and give me an estimate. The only thing is, I dont think they've ever done a repair\reinforcement on an E46 M3 before....but then again, their techs are use to repairing AWD Audi's and 337's so I have a bit of confidence in them.

Resolved: On balance, public subsidies for professional athletic organizations in the United States benefit their local communities.
For part one of this series, click here
The Tangible BenefitsThe text book study, so to speak, of the relation between professional sports and economic development was written by Robert Baade of the Heartland Institute. Even though the study was completed in the 1990's it is still widely cited as an authoritative reference. The Heartland Study identifies three economic impacts from public subsidies of professional sports.
Baade 1994:
Stadiums, arenas, and professional sports can bring three sources of economic benefits to a metropolitan area: direct expenditures, indirect expenditures, and "psychological" benefits. Direct expenditures present the money spent by the professional sports franchise, its employees, and its patrons. As James Quirk and Rodney Fort explain,These direct expenditures-on restaurants, hotels, transportation, souvenirs, food, and the like-are received as income 'by metropolitan-area businesses. These businesses and their employees then spend a fraction of this income on other goods and services within the metropolitan area, and those businesses and their employees spend a fraction of their income at other metropolitan-area businesses. The process continues, and the second, third, and subsequent rounds of spending constitute the indirect expenditures that benefit a region. Since direct expenditures result in indirect expenditures, the direct expenditures are said to "multiply" through the economy. Economists attempt to quantify this effect by calculating a "multiplier." For a given level of direct expenditures, higher multipliers indicate higher levels of economic impact. In addition to direct and indirect expenditures are "psychological" benefits, which are less easily quantified. Some have suggested, for instance, that television coverage of a city's professional sports teams encourages businesses to locate there.
The procedure that is used to estimate the economic benefits provided by a team or a facility is first to estimate the direct expenditures by the team for goods and services in the city, and then to add to this expenditures by fans on goods and services (other than game tickets) purchased in the city, together with expenditures by players on purchases of goods and services in the city. The resulting sum is the amount of direct expenditure benefits to the city provided by the team.
Baade then goes on to quantify his ideas in a fairly comprehensive statistical survey across several projects. As a result of his regression analysis, he finds no compelling evidence to suggest there are advantages to public subsidy of professional sports stadium projects. Indeed, while public funds may be allocated in other ways to subsidize pro sports organizations, for the most part stadium projects, such as renovations or new construction are huge investments costing tens or hundreds of million dollars and they do not seem to pay back.
Looking strictly at dollars allocated versus dollars returned to the public based on certain very subjective multipliers to estimate the "trickle-down" effect on the local economy, the evidence suggests the projects either barely break even or loose money. Long term results are not quantified.
This evidence begs the question, if these projects are losers, why do governments support them and voters approve them? Of course, Con may try to suggest wealthy special interests are in play which skew the estimates of return and make it appear the projects will be well worth it. Clearly the team owners have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
The Intangible BenefitsAnother oft cited paper is the Groothuis paper which is unique because they looked at the city of Pittsburgh and surrounding county which invested hundreds of millions dollars to subsidize professional teams in football, baseball and hockey. The Groothuis study included a survey of residents and attempted to quantify the benefits of civic pride which successful sports franchises evoke.
Groothuis 2004:
The data and analysis in this paper indicate that major league sports teams generate widely consumed public goods benefits for the residents of their cities. A majority of both users and nonusers agree that sports teams generate civic pride for their city, indicating that civic pride benefits consist largely of passive, nonuse benefits. But we find that only a minority of respondents support public funding for football and baseball stadiums or for efforts to keep the Penguins in Pittsburgh. Sports-generated civic pride does not appear to be something a majority of Pittsburghers are willing to pay for with public funds. These results suggest that the motivation for government subsidy of teams and stadiums is twofold. First, because a minority of respondents is willing to pay higher taxes, a classic public choice explanation is suggested. The minority supporters organize because they receive high nonuse benefits from professional sports, but they still pass on much of the cost to the majority whose nonuse benefits are less than the cost of the project. The other explanation is based on the public good of civic pride, and the results provide some evidence in support of that explanation. The results indicate that people who believe the Pirates and Penguins generate local civic pride, a nonexcludable public good, support public subsidy of the baseball and hockey teams. This support is not limited to those who actually attend games, but comes from nonusers, as well. To the extent that such public goods exist, subsidies can enhance efficiency. The support growing from sports' role in creating civic pride may make the job of forming an interest group coalition to extract economic rents from the majority easier. Because civic pride to nonusers reduces the net cost of a subsidy to teams and stadiums, the opposition to such subsidies may be lessened, improving their chances of passing.
As with the Baade study, nearly ten years prior, Groothuis found little direct economic benefit to justify such projects on the basis of net dollars gained versus gross dollars spent. But he did suggest the role of civic pride in voter approval. Civic pride is one of those intangible things that obviously have no dollar value.
It seems, the public was responding to the issue of allowing subsidies more with their hearts than their minds. I would characterize it as kind of faith that because I am happy and proud to have a professional sports team in my city I believe it must also be economically beneficial to my community. The Wysong research in 2009 in fact, hints at a relation between civic pride and belief in positive economic impacts even when the numbers seem contradictory.
Wysong 2009:
Overall, though, the results of this study indicate that regardless of fan status and gender, both economic and non-economic (i.e., pride) beliefs had a positive influence on one's vote for public financing. If a respondent believed the new stadium would have an economic impact on the city, they were more likely to vote in favor of public financing. If a respondent believed the new stadium would make them proud, they were more likely to vote in favor of public financing.
The Intrinsic Value of Professional SportsHaving sat through countless Public Forum debate rounds, I would be lying if I told you that intangible values, and feelings win debates. Yet we need to evaluate the benefits of public subsidies on the community and not every benefit is economic. For example, consider the community park system. They are built and maintained on public funds and usually have a negative cost-benefit quotient. Even though the community park system does not generate financial payback, the majority of people, whether park goers or not, will support the funding. The reason for public support for these kinds of projects - public pride projects - can be described in terms of scholastic theories.
Scott 2011:
Public Value is a theory and model for public sector management developed by Mark Moore, the Hauser Professor of Nonprofit Organizations at the Harvard Kennedy School and the author of Creating Public Value: strategic management in government. Fundamental to Public Value Moore's is the underlying principle that it is the purpose of public sector management is to make '...a positive difference in the individual and collective lives of citizens'. To achieve this, Moore believes that public institutions must focus on the use they make of the organisational assets at their disposal in the service of end-users- the public...Commentators have variously described intangible/ intrinsic values experienced by individuals as a 'state of absorption', or 'focused attention' that comes with 'captivation', as the 'deep satisfaction' that the 'pleasure' of seeing an art work or having a cultural experience that is moving and meaningful, as the capacity to explore 'personal meaning', and the discovery of 'personal beliefs in amongst universal truths', as the provision of a 'new perspective on the world' and the uplifting spiritual experiences that address our needs to experience 'the religious, the numinous and the sublime'
Even though the Scott paper is specifically directed to museum funding the theoretical basis for intrinsic value is pretty much the same and directly applicable to professional sports. Projects which evoke such intangible value do provide a very important community and individual benefit which is not always quantified in terms of dollar and cents.
The Economic Value of Professional SportsI suppose that some very persistent Con debaters will hammer the economics of public subsidies, and cry about the government's fiduciary responsibility to spend public funds wisely. And seriously, judge, why should wealthy team owners get richer at public experience so a few can feel good about their community while they drive over crumbling roads through broken down neighborhoods?
I guess then, in the light of such argumentation, and facing perhaps, a very conservative, practical judge, we must at least attempt to provide some economic justifications for public subsidies since for some it may be the only "real" measure of community benefit.
Koehler 2012:
It would be hard to argue that the presence of a team in a city is a bad thing. Professional sports are one of the biggest examples of a public good one can find as one could derive economic utility from being the fan of a team even without ever spending a dollar on the team. Additionally, from the city's perspective, having a team is almost a form of advertising, a way to put itself on the map as a "major league city" and brand itself among the elite cities of the nation (Noll and Zimbalist 1997). Still, it is hard to put a dollar value on those forms of economic utility and studies have tried to do this for the presence of a team and stadium with some success but little conclusiveness (Johnson et al 2000).
In and of themselves, stadium projects may be losing deals for the accountants. But what happens when we broaden our perspective and look at the impact of pro sports projects on the surrounding area. Many cities have experienced a sort of urban blight with crumbling, crime-ridden inner cities and businesses moving out. Cities seek projects which allow them attract private investment into such areas. The Koehler paper will arm you with the data needed. For example, Cleveland, Ohio was a perfect example of such a failing urban scene until the public sector financing of the Progressive Field baseball stadium, initiated the Gateway revitalization project which resurrected a dying city. The 180 million dollar investment in Progressive Field, had little return initially but it lit a spark which soon expanded into increased private investment and revitalization which yielded some 4.1 billion dollars in investment at the present time, including a new stadium for the Cleveland Browns, the Rock Hall of Fame, the development of the Tower City Mall project and other important projects.
I leave you with the following quotation.
An important element missing in the debate is the impact of a sports franchise on a metro area's quality of life. While difficult to measure, the contribution of a sports franchise to quality of life may exceed more traditional job creation and tax revenue benefits. If so, when quality-of-life benefits are included in the calculation, public spending may not appear to be such a bad investment for some metro areas.
Good luck Pro debaters!

some kind soul shared it
thanks to whoever he/she is
Besides the, somehow, weak acting of the japanese actors/actresses it was a pretty good episode for me. Basically the same plotline of season 1 ep 1.
The same amazing soundtrack (I noticed some remastering here and there) and even the same baa-chan voice.
Enma Ai voice was as good as Noto Mamiko's to me. Ichimoku Ren and Honne Onna were kind of strange and Wanyuudo would be better if he was bald, but that's ok. The visual effect were good enough.
The ending song was just ok. The anime ending songs are better.

The live-action Jigoku Shoujo performs with many high production values, though the actors and actresses need to tapped on their potential at its fullest.
There weren't many frightening scenes, but I got goosebumps when the heads of the two girls literally fell of. Now that was nasty.
But more nasty was that disgusting girl Rina, who in her arrogance and spite gave her a hell (no pun intended) to Yuu.
The live-action version to near perfect showcases the abominable effects of the ijime phenomenon that it's the daily norm in Japan. The angst and depression that the victim suffers everyday from his or her tormentors.
It's good to see that Enma Ai and her familiars have become flesh and bone characters to deliver the wrongdoers to Hell.
I have to commend Iwata Sayuri performance. It was near perfect; her voice is beautiful, and her looks are the suitable match for Enma Ai in flesh and bone.
My complain for Iwata-san and advice is that she should practice with a more natural ambience the Ippen Shinde Miru line.
That's Enma Ai's staple and climaxes the grudge. When Iwata-san pronounces the phrase, it did not sound as jittery as it does in the anime version.
For the rest, I praise that some scores from the anime soundtrack carried over to the live-action TV version. I do think bad of the remastered and remix version of some of the scores.
Even the seiyuu who voices the Grandma in the anime was casted for the same role in the live-action TV series. That was a treat.
I believe that both NTV and Aniplex TV stations have very close ties with each other or made a joint venture regarding the Jigoku Shoujo franchise.
They most likely sorting out the copyright issues to make use of the soundtrack scores to utilized as well in the live-action TV format.

But someone please tell me why Ai smiles at the end of the credits. I don't think Ai ever smiled...

hmm... my thoughts of the show if I can remember them from when it aired.
I actually quite liked this, however as a fan of jigoku shoujo anime series and stuff I expected to. The music, as everyone has said was the typical jigoku shoujo music, which I was glad. Because I like music for this show.
Unlike most people I have talked to, I was generally really creeped out with the episode. But I jump and scream at everything so .... *cough*
I will carry on watching this, but see how the rest of acting goes.
*as something creepy and random I just realised I have exactly the same hair cut as enma ai... *

This is interesting. But I think the live-Ai is a little too chubby at the face(maybe it's the angle). Anyways, I liked the shape of the crest. It's nice, and does anyone think that Sugimoto Aya looks kinda like Michelle Yeoh in Memoirs of the Geisha?

The camera may add 10 lbs but her face is just large and she looks way too old. The story line felt directly recycled out of the anime as I had this case of dejavu at a large number of the non-canon scenes. That said, the acting was typical for j-drama: poor. I died laughing when the girl screamed at the thought that she was going to hell. The voices are good but they stand there like they are reading a teleprompter for the most part. Also, the digital backgrounds trying to replace the anime's feel looked horrible against the actors. The actors looked like they were standing infront of a bluescreen. I doubt this will get fixed since it's stock footage now.

This show is just terrible.
The actress playing Enma is just ... not right. She's mediocre looking at best, she's far too old, and her face is chubby!! There is no way this woman can symbolize the natural beauty of death, liberation from suffering, the wheel of life, etcetera, etcetera.
The other actors are pretty bad as well, even by J-Drama standards, and it doesn't cover any new ground -- essentially an uglier retelling of the first season.

That's like, so not Ai!
Her kimono flowers should be constantly moving (ok, I know that would be extremely hard to do in real-life, but it's what makes Ai feel so much more supernatural)
Wannyudo's too fat and not old enough.
That said, I can't wait for Saaya Irie!
Ok, that makes me sound like a perv.

Half of America Hates the Roberts Court

I'm old enough to remember those "Impeach Earl Warren" billboards that sprung up in the wake of Brown v. Board Of Education, a development which, of course, had Nothing To Do With Race. But still, what the Pew Center announced today is simply stunning. The Supreme Court's approval rating is flirting with the 50 percent mark for the first time in my memory. It was as high as 80 percent in 1994.
Gee, what could have happened since then to have had such a terrible effect on the court's image?
(Subliminal voice: alito-roberts-bush-v-gore-citizens-united-scalia-thomas...)
Can't possibly imagine.

|Session management issue with Tomcat
|Sun, 18 Sep 2011 15:05:10 GMT
Hello I have a situation where I'm using Tomcat 6.0.26 but the logging in / out of the application is not authenticated via Tomcat's: action='<%= response.encodeURL("j_security_check") %>' > method. The current system allows cookies to store userids which are used to show recent lists on the homepage of the application. So for a session, a user's userid can be read from the cookie and used to retrieve their details from the database and store them in the session, and render the hompage with its personalised recent list. The user's id can also then be placed in the login username box with the password stored in the session. But, in a single browser session, if the first user logs out, and another user logs in, the cookie is re-written with the new user's userid. But, because this is all in one browser session, use of the browser's back button allows the new user to access the profile details of the first user if the first user visited the page before logging off. No secure data is held in the system. Can anyone suggest a way to change this? I am no expert on session management. Thanks.

The Team
Teach For America – Detroit is in pursuit of its 2020 vision to collaboratively create proof point schools that perform at the top quartile of the state by meeting a critical need for education talent. Entering its seventh school year, it has entered a critical impact and sustainability phase. As the education reform movement continues to gain momentum in Detroit and Michigan, demand for Teach For America corps members and leaders continues to increase.

About Detroit
Once known as the Arsenal of Democracy, the Paris of the Midwest, and the home of the Motown Sound, Detroit is now reinventing itself as a center of innovation, art, and entrepreneurial spirit. An increased national spotlight is slowly revealing to outsiders what locals have known for years – Detroit is a city of energy and passion that is on the cusp of a renaissance. Author and celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain dubbed the city "a national treasure," arguing that "wherever you may live, you wouldn't be there – and wouldn't be who you are in the same way – without Detroit." The New York Times lauded the city for, "the passion one finds on the streets of Detroit these days, where everyone from the doorman to the D.J. will tell you they believe in this city's future." In Detroit, you not only have the opportunity to help improve a school system; your work will contribute to the continued revitalization of one of America's most historic and culturally important cities.
