which of the following do you think is correct one?
I have developed a SaaS application
I have developed a SaaS product?
I use app.
any reason for not using product?
For starters, because someone that develops, program applications... someone that sells, sells products. So while both sentences get the message across... application is more appropiate.
While your playing your role as an individual developer then you can say "Application", but when you are presenting a company then you can say "product". But normally max people are using "Apps"
I think application is more suitable as now a days its a common term used by everyone. Product is used when you are referring a company or an organization as companies and organizations have more than one product so they use term product but as an individual you can use application.
If you are selling it I would call it product.If it was made for your own in house uses then I'd call application.
One more question:
Is "app" and "application" the same thing? or do they have a diff meaning technically?
They're the same. "app" is just a shortcut.

ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. - A police evidence photo shows the syringe which police say was hidden inside a pair of jeans at the Wal-Mart in Rochester Hills.
A woman who was trying on the pair of pants said she was stuck by the syringe in the dressing room. She panicked and was rushed to a nearby hospital.
Local 4 has learned this was not an isolated incident. There have been at least six other victims in three states.
"As we found, there have been numerous other occurrences in other states like Tennessee and Georgia where things like this have happened," said Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard.
This incident in Rochester Hills was the latest. Last year, the first incident was reported in Tennessee. After that, at least three more were reported in suburban Atlanta.
A shopper in Georgia described what happened to her.
"I felt something stick me in the finger, I though, 'What is that?'" said Courtney Worthington. "I kept trying to put it on some more and I felt it stick me in the foot that time."
The victim in Rochester Hills is OK but emotionally shaken up. Shoppers are on high alert, looking out for any errant syringes in clothing.
"It's very strange," said Elaine Rowe, of Rochester Hills. "I don't how that could have even happened. Did someone plant a needle, a syringe?"
Police are testing the syringe to find out what, if anything, was inside.
A Wal-Mart spokeswoman said she was aware of the Rochester Hills and Atlanta incidents, but not aware of the Tennessee incident. She said Wal-Mart is taking this very seriously. Clothing will be inspected at the store.
The victim will undergo more blood tests.

Alright, who wants to tackle these two questions, my friends? I'm kind of a newbie as well.
(1) RECOMMENDED STEAK CUTS FOR MEDIUM-WELL TO WELL DONE MEAT I was about to get a few tri tips today from the butcher, when he said "this is beautiful on a grill if you love rare meat," and I told him I was strictly a burning man, and he warned me off. "It's like a round steak" he said. "If you go well with either, you get shoe leather." True? (Sadly, I ended up with brats....and football is so long and far away.....)
And should I be pursuing Ribeyes and New Yorks, which he claims are good for people with medium-well (and beyond) tastes?
(2) BRINKMANN SOUND OFF I haven't heard of this brand before, but the BRINKMANN 2600 seems to have a lot of cooking space, procelain grates, temp gauge, three burners, a side burner, and an electronic ignition. Thoughts? Recommendations? Man, at 200 bucks, it's a welcome improvement on my fiesta propane. Not that it hasn't served me well.

Betty Takes Fashion Week: Catching Up With Christian Siriano and Lela Rose
Find out where the Betty editors saw Alison Brie, Christian Siriano, Jessica Lowndes and others!
-The Betty Editors
The warmth and sun left, and the temperature started to drop rapidly, and then the rain rolled in and annoyed everyone for the entire day. Have you ever noticed that when you wear suede shoes it rains? From now on, I'll wear vinyl, just to make sure we have sunny days!
Read Betty Takes Fashion Week: Tons of Shows Plus Celeb Sightings!
Betty headed backstage before the Timo Weiland show and interviewed MAC artist, Nadine Luke about the makeup look for the show.
What Brooke said about Timo Weiland:
I chatted with Leonardo Manetti of Ion Studio — he was doing hair for the show. He stated that the hair was "'60s meets now." So the long hair was given waves with a 1 and 1/3 inch curling iron, and then lightly back teased just at the crown. Because the hair wasn't stiff like '60s hair and a bit messy, it became more modern looking.
A DJ played upbeat tunes as I scoped out Timo's Spring 2011 collection. Immediately, the term "casual elegance" came to mind. The nautical look will definitely be back next spring for both men and women. Yay! Lots of navy and white!
Personally, I loved the navy and camel strapless sundress. The ruffled trim gives it a girly feel. Pair it with brown heels like the model did above, or slip on some cute flats and a cardigan. We love versatility!
Once we power through winter, I'll be very excited to see Timo's stuff in stores for spring.
Next: Interview with Christian Siriano!

Prime Minister Julia Gillard will address cybersecurity in talks with Chinese leaders when she visits the country in April.
Foreign Minister Bob Carr told a Sydney Institute audience on Friday that Canberra was also pushing for regular high-level consultations with Beijing.
Senator Carr revealed Ms Gillard had already approached outgoing president Hu Jintao to establish regular, senior consultations between both countries.
"We're hoping that once the Chinese leadership transition is complete in March, the leadership can give some attention to it," Senator Carr said.
"We see that as desirable and as one measure of the interdependency we both enjoy and the opportunities for enhanced co-operation we are both reaching for."
Ms Gillard is due to attend the Boao Forum for Asia in Hainan province soon after Xi Jinping is confirmed as the Asian economic giant's new president.
It will be the prime minister's second visit to China, having first visited there as leader in April 2011.
Last year the Australian government was criticised for snubbing the Boao Forum, considered to be the East Asian equivalent of the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland.
Senator Carr on Friday said cyber security was a "natural subject" for Australia to broach with China during the April talks.
"It's on the agenda and we can be candid with the Chinese," he said.
He emphasised the importance of the Australia-China relationship but acknowledged it was sometimes "challenging", adding that by the time of China's next leadership shift in 10 years the country's political landscape would be greatly changed.
"(When you have) the Chinese leadership talking about respect for the rule of law, or when you have the retiring prime minister of China, Wen Jiabao, talking about democracy - these are all pointers to the political revolution on China."
He was coy when asked about Australia's likely reaction should a territorial dispute between Japan and China ever escalate to military action involving the US.
"This is the question I've been waiting for since I took this job ... Can I give you my practised reply?" he joked.
"That is a hypothetical question, and the ANZUS treaty obliges us to consult."

PAOLO Di Canio thanked the Swindon Town fans for their very personal show of support towards him during the Robins' 1-1 draw with Hartlepool on Saturday, but the County Ground boss once again refused to comment further on his future after the match.
Supporters stood up to chant Di Canio's name in unison for 60 seconds from the 10-minute mark and held aloft posters and banners urging the Italian to stick it out with Town, as he continues to consider his position at the club.
The Swindon manager noted the crowd's message in his post-match press conference but could not offer fans any assurances that he will commit to remaining with the Robins just yet.
"It was special reception but obviously it is important for the squad and the club, not Paolo Di Canio. I want to thank them. Even if they didn't come in here with the intention to sing my name, for me it is not important because I know they appreciate the job I have done," he said.
"I always work for the cause, I am fully professional and until the (last) day I am here I will give my best. I will go angry like I am today because that result hurt me, but I am never going to forget them and everything that happened in five years' time, two months' time, one day's time.
"I started in management here; that is something amazing. I achieved something important with them. I gave them satisfaction, they gave us big satisfaction. That is a special relationship.
"I want to say only that I don't want to talk about my future. I stand by the statement that I sent out the day before the Crawley game. My position didn't change yet. I stand by the statement. It is exactly the same situation as the day before the Crawley game."
Di Canio is believed to have held positive talks with members of the consortium set to buy into the club when a takeover is ratified by the Football League.
Frontman Jed McCrory was at the Hartlepool game alongside another member of the five-strong group, Martin King, who has previous involvement with Luton Town. McCrory spent time in the Legends Lounge talking to fans pre-match.
The Advertiser understands the sale of the club may not go through until Wednesday or Thursday of this week, with McCrory and his partners set to meet the League in Preston to discuss the fine details of their financial model for the Robins going forward.
Each of the incoming directors is understood to have passed their respective fit and proper persons tests, while McCrory is believed to be awaiting special dispensation from the relevant authorities to hold positions at both Swindon and Banbury United until the end of the campaign.

This Is Why Valerie Jarrett Blames Fox News For Class Warfare
Blog ››› ››› REMINGTON SHEPARD
Fox News and its counter-parts in right-wing media pounced on Senior White House Adviser Valerie Jarrett for pointing out that Fox News has a long history of using "class warfare" to attack President Obama. But despite the attacks from the right-wing media, Jarrett is right that Fox has a long history of resorting to charges of "class warfare" to attack President Obama while waging war itself against struggling Americans.
During a July 1 appearance at the Aspen Ideas Festival, former Time editor Walter Issacson asked Jarrett about the notion held by "so many business men and others" that Obama is "attacking the rich, attacking people who make a profit, people who make jobs." Jarrett responded by noting that the class warfare narrative may be emanating from a "particular" network, one that isn't CNN and presumably not MSNBC.
Fox News, and other right wing media outlets attacked Jarrett's comments. Fox News host Greta Van Susteren in a July 6 tweet and blog post asked, "is she drinking?" Fox Nation and Breitbart.com, both highlighted Jarrett's comments. Newsbusters, a conservative media blog, in a July 6 post went a step further, accusing Jarrett of "reflexively bash[ing] Fox News" and "relentlessly shovel[ing] all the Obama talking points."
But despite the right-wing media's complaints, Fox News has made itself the home of "class warfare," both in their willingness to use the label to attack President Obama, and in their attacks on both the poor and policies designed to alleviate poverty.
- Fox Labeled A Proposed Minimum Tax Rate Increase For The Wealthy "Class Warfare." Responding to Obama's call to implement the so-called "Buffett Rule" which would have raised the minimum tax rate for the wealthy back to levels before the Bush tax cuts, Fox News figures accused Obama of waging "class warfare."
- Fox Figures Called Obama's Jobs Bill "Class Warfare." In September 2011, Fox figures responded to Obama's jobs bill by claiming that he was engaged in "class warfare ... one of those soak the rich things" and that Obama "could not help but resort to using the same kind of class warfare."
- Fox Said Obama's Call For A "Balanced Approach" To Deficit Reduction Is "Class Warfare." In August 2011, Fox figures accused Obama of "conducting what is clearly class warfare" by calling for a "balanced approach" to deficit reduction.
- Fox Attacked Obama's Speech On Income Inequality By Accusing Him Of "Class Warfare." Fox News figures responded to Obama's December 6, 2011, speech on inequality in America by accusing him of engaging in class warfare.
- Fox Figures Claimed Obama's Deficit-Reduction Plan Is "Class Warfare." In September 2011, Fox responded to Obama's deficit-reduction plan by accusing him of engaging in "class warfare."
These attacks on Obama often went hand in hand with defending the interests of the wealthiest Americans.
- Fox Attacked Struggling Homeowners Who Could Have Benefited From A Foreclosure Settlement As "Deadbeat[s]." In February, Fox News figures responded to a $25 billion settlement over alleged foreclosure abuses by attacking the agreement as a "deadbeat bailout."
- Fox's Varney Accused Low-Income Americans As Lacking "Richness Of Spirit." Fox Business host Stuart Varney hyped a Heritage Foundation study on appliance ownership among low-income Americans as evidence that the "have things - what they lack is the richness of spirit."
- Fox Business Pitted The "Takers" Of Safety Net Programs Against The "Makers." After a National Bureau of Economic Research study concluded that social safety net programs, including Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, were highly effective at keeping people out of poverty, Fox Business launched a week-long series pitting the "takers" of "government handouts" against the "makers" in the economy.
- Fox Business Host Charles Payne Scolded Poor People For Not Being Ashamed Of Their Poverty. Fox Business host Charles Payne complained that, although some safety net policies were "good programs," poor people participating in these programs should be "embarrassed by it."
While Jarrett's comments may have led to complaints among the right-wing media, given Fox's history, they seem perfectly accurate.

takuma683 - Thursday, March 11, 2004 - linkResponding the question of user Shinei:
Yes, most Playstation games run at 30 effective fps, some at 15, 10 or even slower, and some do reach 60 (59.94 actually) fps. However, the "fps" displayed on ePSXe is "emulated" fps, that is, TV frames (vertical blanks) per second emulated. Games that run at 30 fps display a frame every two vertical interrupts.
Also a note to all: you don't need an external program to display real fps using ePSXe with Pete's plugins, just turn on the fix "Enable PC fps calculation" and it'll show you the actual fps. Reply

PeteBernert - Friday, March 05, 2004 - linkI want to add a small comment (since my plugins seems to be mentioned in the article ;)) about the "developed on/for ATI cards" confusions: all of my psx gpu plugins (Win D3D/OGL1/OGL2; Linux Mesa/XGL2) were in fact developed on nVidia cards. Starting 1999 on my good ole TNT1 card, later on GF1/GF3/GF4 ones. Yes, spring 2003 I got a R9700Pro (since the first GFFX cards didn't look to promising - hot and noisy - by then), but all major coding (and optimization) work was already finished at this point.
So indeed only the pixel shader effects in the OGL2/XGL2 plugins were done with ATI hardware (using no special ATI extensions, though, only the standard ARB ones which are available on nVidia's DX9 cards as well).
Anyway, I am pretty sure that you also can find psx games which will run faster on nVidia cards (for example if many framebuffer reads are needed - even old nVidia cards are still two times faster with such reads than the newest ATI ones), so the spotlight on the two games mentioned in the article is just this: a spotlight. No need for grey hair ;)
ChronoReverse - Friday, March 05, 2004 - linkArguably, you could say that it's pretty boring for the majority of people out there that the A64 plays game X a few frames faster than a P4 (or vice versa).
These are the people buying Dells and only caring whether or not the system can play the game.
In any case, I liked this article since I have a passing interest in emulation and emulation is a good way to test both the graphics and cpu subsystems. Reply
DerekWilson - Friday, March 05, 2004 - link#25
haha ... yeah, I could see how that would be funny ;-)
exciting from a technological perspective ... really freaking boring from any other perspective :-)
Cybercat - Friday, March 05, 2004 - link"Of course, getting 4 frames per second of something kind of close to what we see on the Game Cube is still pretty exciting."
LOL :p Yeah I bet. Reply
TrogdorJW - Thursday, March 04, 2004 - linkPretty interesting read. I highly doubt that emulation of any of the lesser consoles would prove to be a good benchmark, except as a CPU benchmark. Maybe N64 would be okay, but SNES, Genesis, and anything earlier are all so "simple" compared to modern 3D consoles that performance is almost a non-issue. Anyway, good article, even if it is inherently biased towards ATI. Not much that can be done about that, though, unless some skilled programmers with Nvidia hardware want to try and release a better plugin.
My one thought is that even with the disclaimer up front stating that Pete owns a 9700 and thus his plugins are written and tested on ATI first and foremost, there are probably going to be some clueless people out there saying, "OMG ATI pwned Nvidia again." Then again, there's not much that can be done to help the clueless. Maybe someone should start up a charity for them? :) Anyway, I was thinking a little disclaimer at the bottom or top of each page of the article might be nice, but it's probably much more effort than it's worth. Reply
DerekWilson - Thursday, March 04, 2004 - link(#22) KGB:
if you own a playstation (or have the legal rights to a playstation BIOS) you could rent a game from blockbuster, download the tools used in the article and play a game on your PC ... The problem with that is that my blockbuster doesn't rent out playstation games anymore :-(
There is another option if you don't own a PS BIOS ... you can use an emulator with an HLE BIOS (at the cost of perfect BIOS support for your games). PCSX has a builtin HLE BIOS.

SDA - Thursday, March 04, 2004 - linkDepends on what you define as fair, #19. It's a real-world benchmark, so above all else it's useful for determining how video cards perform in that specific application. Whether or not performance in it can be applied to other applications, ePSXe with Pete's OGL plugin is just one of (if not THE) best method of PSX emulation out there, so why not use it for a benchmark? Reply
boboy - Thursday, March 04, 2004 - linkIt's no insider secret that Pete Bernett uses ATI cards. He programs his plugins with very few outside testers, and he has a SERIOUS lacking of of nvidia testers. So much, he didn't even know his initial version of his OGL2 plugin didn't support Geforce 4 Ti cards on winXP until he signed on NGEmu a day later. He doesn't do anything like that on purpose, which is obvious since his OGL2 plugin is getting better and better with nvidia cards with every release. It's just that the usefullness of this test is next to nil because the plugin runs far better on ATi cards than NVidia cards.
Although it should also be noted that OpenGL2 was made for compatibility, not visual quality. A lesser card can make a game look much prettier in full speed on his other plugins, although you'll often come across graphical glitches, and you'll need to be turning on special game fixes (hacks/workaronds) and the such for quite a few of the games. Hell, even my old TNT2 can run alot of psx games with good quality at 60fps.
All in all, this was a very interesting read, as I follow the emulation scene myself. But in the end, I don't think these kind of benchmarks can give anywhere near as fair results than other benchmarks, programs that were designed to use the full extent of both card brands equally. Reply
elty - Thursday, March 04, 2004 - linkePSXe and Pete's plugin used to work with GeForce better. Pete has some updates, but ePSXe remains about unchanged. So do you have any insider info that it is written based on ATi card only before you flame? Mayber later we don't need any conclusion at all becasue all you will come up with is "Card A perform poorly on Game X becasue Developer M did it on purpose" or "It shows that CPU B pays money to all developers so it will run faster than CPU D" Reply
tfranzese - Thursday, March 04, 2004 - linkFair in my perspective, and interesting even though I don't delve into emulators much - I do find them entertaining from time to time. Reply
SDA - Thursday, March 04, 2004 - linkIt's a good idea, but if FFIX is any indication it's just barely too late, as the hardware used (even the 5700 Ultra) seems to be able to handle the games being used without much trouble. I know this might sound stupid, but is it possible to force antialiasing in the driver options and have it carry over to the game? Or was something that did this just as well already enabled, or does this not do anything? I was just thinking, because if it works like it does in un-emulated games it would strain the video cards more.. probably some reason this can't be done, though. In that case, what is it?
Also, while it's interesting from an academic standpoint when real-world benches such as this favor one manufacturer's products over another, it doesn't change the validity of the benchmarks. After all, in real-world benchmarks you actually want to see how everything performs in that specific benchmark. In other words, yeah, in my opinion it's perfecty fair. That's just me, though. Reply
DerekWilson - Thursday, March 04, 2004 - link(#11) taleril:
We think that's fair enough as well; now we have:
"From our benchmarks, it is obvious that ATI Radeon cards are better suited for emulating the games that we tested under ePSXe and Pete's plugins with the settings we chose."
It is definitely important to be specific about exactly what a part was better at doing than another part. It is not good practice to do otherwise.
We feel that this is a fair comparison of ATI and NVIDIA products performance in the independant software development segment based on our statments on page 4 of the article. This is a different issue than that of corporate development since what we care about most is end user value. We are demonstrating the proper value of the hardware in the emulator space.
I hope this clears things up a bit. Reply

taleril - Thursday, March 04, 2004 - link"From out benchmarks, it is obvious that ATI Radeon cards are better suited for emulating the games that we tested."
should be:
"From out(sp?) benchmarks, it is obvious that ATI Radeon cards are better suited for emulating the games that we tested on an emulator programmed with ATI cards in mind."
To be fair, I think it should be reiterated in the conclusion that these emulators(or the plugins used) were written specifically on and for ATI hardware.
It's a cool benchmark, but the more I think about it, the less useful it seems to be. At least from a graphics hardware comparison standpoint.

DerekWilson - Thursday, March 04, 2004 - linkThere are no xbox, gamecube, or ps2 emus that are in full working order. We didn't want to include one of each since its more of just a show and tell kind of thing ...
the gamecube emus is currently running one game at full speed (Busta-a-Move 3000 -- which I don't own and couldn't find in time for the review), and lots of games getting past intros to actual 3d that looks somewhat near how it should (while mostly running slowly at the moment). Of course, it may take quite a push to get further since (apparently) the ArtX/ATI graphics card in the system is insane.
on the PS2 front, we could see some user demos and a title screen or two last time I checked. The PS2 has an advantage: its IOP (IO Processor) is essentially a PSX (that's why its backwards compatible). Of course, the vector processors and insane data paths on the PS2 will be a bit of a hump to get over for emulating games well ... I know the most about PS2 as I did a senior project involving writing a PS2 game.
and, contrary to popular opinion, xbox won't be that much easier to emulate than other consoles. It has obvious advantages, but the big problem comes in trying to emulate the GPU itself, the relationship it has with the CPU, and the tweaked out programming interfaces and systems of the entire console. Programmers will run into similar issues that all console emulator teams have seen. Actually, if programmers want to make an interpretive version of their emulator, they'll loose much of the x86 to x86 advantage ... Unfortunately, I know the least about the XBox among the consoles (Anand is the XBox guy around here).
But rest assured that if there is a major advance on any of the three fronts, we'll cover it as best we can. Reply
Pumpkinierre - Thursday, March 04, 2004 - linkI would have thought that Xbox with its near desktop computer architecture would have been the easiest to emulate but you barely give it a mention. Any reasons why?
CZroe - Thursday, March 04, 2004 - linkWho else has personally backed-up a copy of Wind Waker and executed it on both the emulator and the console?
I have, and I believe I beat Derek Wilson and the Anand crew to it ;) Reply
DerekWilson - Thursday, March 04, 2004 - linkIt is very important to note that even if there are many systems out there that can run ePSXe and emulate a game well, you will be loosing out on image quality if you can't pump the internal resolution, run DX9 pixel shaders, and still have room for texture and full screen filters...
If we wanted to "just run" a playstation game with no regard to quality, we would be looking at running the playstation at somewhere around 800fps (interal framerate) on most of these cards for most situations. Turning on the features drops that significantly.
Honestly, my PSX games can look better emulated than they did on my Playstation with the right settings, and only the high end cards and processors can handle the right settings as far as our testing has seen.
And yes, we just popped the CD in and ran the game ... in case anyone is wondering, we used the P.E.Op.S. CDR driver and set it to threaded reading with maximum readahead to minimize disk access impact ... Of course, we also made sure that our benchmarks would run without needing to hit the CD rom drive.
Since PSX emulators have built in ISO support, in the future we may pull the ISO and run it from our hard drives in order to eliminate the possibility of CD read latency altogether.
By the way, I wish we had saved the full uncompressed screenshots as the scanline effect really doesn't seem to like being scaled and compressed. ;-) The games really did look great. Reply

Lycias - Thursday, March 04, 2004 - linkOk so after reading this article I wondered where they were playing the game from. I have used SNES and NES emulators before and I downloaded rom files of games I leagaly owned from various websites. There does not seem to be web sites with playstation rom equivalant files out there. Do they just put the disk is the cd drive and then use the emulation software. Please enlighten me as I've been dying to play Final Fantasy VII again. Thanks Reply
Cygni - Thursday, March 04, 2004 - linkI didnt see this one commin! Cool idea guys. Ive never really seen this done to any extent on a hardware site before. Reply
gaidin123 - Thursday, March 04, 2004 - linkePSXe is pretty much the standard if you are trying to play original Playstation games. Any modern system can run them pretty much full speed but I think this is just yet another piece of a neverending puzzle in comparing different graphics cards. Some people will find data like this important.
I found ePSXe a while back and replayed Chrono Cross, one of the best RPGs out there imho. ePSXe runs pretty well on my laptop with the Intel 855 onboard graphics and it would be nice to know how the emulator runs on integrated graphics chipsets/laptops (mini-itx boards, onboard Via, Intel, Sis, Ati, nVidia chipsets) in addition to normal cards like the ones tested here.

Harrison begins rehab assignment
ARLINGTON -- Pitcher Matt Harrison will officially begin a 30-day rehab assignment on Thursday night when he pitches for Double-A Frisco against Northwest Arkansas. Harrison is expected to throw four innings and 65 pitches as he continues to recover from two back and one non-throwing shoulder operations from last year.
"The most important thing is to make it through healthy," Harrison said. "From that point, get my pitch-count up and have all my pitches; throw my fastball down in the zone and get my off-speed over, get back to what I know I can do. My body feels great; my arm feels good so I want to stay on the same path. It's progressing well. I feel like I'm back to my normal self."
Harrison, who needed surgery to repair a herniated disk in his lower back, will likely need to make at least four starts before he is ready to be an option at the Major League level. The earliest he is likely to return to the rotation is April 23.
Derek Holland, who had microfracture surgery on his left knee on Jan. 10, won't return until June at the earliest, threw 25 pitches off the mound on Wednesday. It was his first time throwing off the mound since the surgery. He will continue his throwing program in Surprise, Az., on Saturday.

Poor parenting leads to violence in schools
I don't disagree with this at all. I also think its very interesting that the report says that the obnoxious, violent pupils are as likely to come from affluent, middle-class homes as from scummy homes. The mother who insisted that her little cherub could do no wrong and was simply 'picked-on' by the teachers used to a joke, or a figure of fun, but it seems that this parent (or at least her attitude) is becoming more and more common.

Summer is officially here! And I can't believe I forgot to wish you a "Happy First Day of Summer!" Bad bad blogger! Well…I hope you're enjoying your summer so far. Have any of you hit the beach or the pool yet?
The heat is definitely rising in parts of the country and I know you'll be reaching for your swimwear soon. I don't know about you, but I'll be grabbing my swimsuit and my new cover-up.
I was sent this chic J. Valdi Plus Size Cover Up, Flutter Sleeve Printed Tunic from Macy's and I love it! It has this fun and vibrant animal print. It's not too short-it hits right at the thigh. I might just have to wear it as a top! The kimono sleeves give it a luxurious feel and it can be worn over any swimsuit…one piece or two piece. And the drawstring tie at the waist is easy to adjust.
The color and print is a little different than the photo above, actually I like it better (LOL). I'm a size US 16/18 and I'm wearing a 3X below…it's very roomy. Originally $64, it's now on sale for $43.99 and I know you can find a coupon code somewhere online!
Disclosure: I received this item from GigaSavvy for review purposes only. The above is my true and honest opinion.

SURFSIDE, Texas - Many of KPRC Local 2 viewers noticed a fiery glow light up the sky Wednesday morning.
Capt. William Lowery was on his boat in the Freeport area when he saw a meteor fly across the sky in a brilliant orange flash around 3 a.m.
"Nothing like that magnitude," said Lowery. "I've seen shooting stars, but this lasted three to four minutes."
After the Russian meteor exploded across the sky, it prompted scientists to better identify large meteor and asteroid threats.
A team at the University of Hawaii is working on the Asteroid Terrestrial-Impact Last Alert System or ATLAS with the help of NASA. Scientists are hoping to one day provide one- to three-week warnings for possible regional disasters.

WORK has finally started on Dursley's new youth centre after a six-year wait.
The renovation of the ground floor of the Parsonage at Dursley Tabernacle Church into a multi-use centre for children aged 11 to 19 has begun following the selection of the contractor to carry out the renovations.
As part of the conversion, an access ramp will be created at the front of the building and new heating and electrical fittings will be installed.
Following a rigorous selection process, Dursley Town Council and Dursley Tabernacle Church have hired local firm Stevenson Building Contractors to carry out the work.
The £300,000 costs are being met by the council and from developers' contributions, with £107,000 coming from Sainsbury's, as part of their agreement when they built the supermarket on the former youth centre site on Castle Street, which was demolished in 2008.
Gloucestershire Police and Crime Commissioner Martin Surl has also pledged £10,000 from the Commissioner's fund, which aims to help communities get involved in reducing crime and making their neighbourhoods safer.
The church is also investing £90,000 in work to enable the youth centre to be developed, which was boosted by a grant of £5,000 from the All Churches Trust.
The construction work is scheduled to be completed by September this year, with the youth centre opening very soon afterwards.
In addition, the council has been accepted into the Our Place programme, which will provide funding and support for the development of services for young people operating out of the new centre.
A spokeswoman from the Cam and Dursley Youth Forum said the youth centre will be a great place to develop friendships between separate groups of young people.
"It'll give young people a place to go and new things to do," she said.
"It'll give us something to take part in and feel involved with. We cannot wait for it to be opened in September."

There are 14 species of freesia and 12 are native to the Cape.
The Freesia Spa at the Hyatt Regency Oubaai Golf Resort & Spa forms part of the worldwide collection of custom-designed Hyatt Spas, which offer an 'authentic and intimate' pampering experience.
Through an approach that combines the essential elements of the Garden Route (plants, water and light) with luxury products made from African ingredients, the Freesia Spa creates a soothing space in which to relax and unwind.
The architecture of the spa cleverly frames views of the Outeniqua Mountains, and each of the treatment rooms features a gentle palette with luxury finishes that are enhanced by natural light. Facilities include a tranquillity lounge, pool, jacuzzi and fitness centre.
The treatments, therapies and products used at Freesia Spa incorporate elements of light and water, in combination with products inspired by the Earth. Indigenous oils such as marula, baobab and rooiboos nourish the body, while techniques that draw on traditional African remedies are used.
One of Freesia Spa's signature treatments is a hydrating 'vital light' treatment. This four-hour session includes a full-body steam treatment, a geranium body polish, an illumination facial and an African rhythm wood massage, which uses mpingo wood implements that are hand-made using timber from the area.
These wooden implements are also used in other treatments at the spa that involve rhythmically massaging the face and body to promote wellness and renewal.
Guests can book individual treatments or packages. Individual treatments include a hot stone massage and a balancing massage, which uses avocado and shea butter nuggets that melt into the skin as they are applied.
One of the many packages to choose from is the Freesia Verdant Earth Retreat. It incorporates an aromatic body touch steam treatment, a marula and sandalwood sugar polish, a marula release massage, and a facial and eye treatment.
There is also a selection of spa treatment options specifically designed for couples.

Supposedly as the most evolved of animals we have a duty to look after the planet.
I today wondered how we should view our relationship with plants and animals. Even though we often fail to live up to our potential, we are the most evolved species so far to walk upon this planet. In my opinion since we are the most advanced of the animal species, we are in a relationship of being like a big brother or sister to fellow animals and the plants on this planet. We have a duty of care to look after animals and plants like a big brother or sister. We are the stewards of our planet.
If we accept our responsibility as stewards, then we must enter the relationship with animals and plants with respect. Cute and beautiful our little brothers and sisters may be, but they are unpredictable and dangerous, with the capacity to do us harm. That which we will steward need the space and the opportunity to manifest their needs, so we need to develop strategies of co-existence and support to animals and plants.
A video on YouTube, a teaser for a nature documentary by the BBC on polar bears shows why animals and plants should be respected. A hungry mother polar bear attempted for 45 minutes to get at a human in a glass box in order to feed herself and her two cubs; all she was missing was a can opener. The BBC is famous for its nature documentaries, and this film will appear on BBC 2 on 7th Jan 2013; and for a short time after will be available on BBC iPlayer.
Sustainability action 4 : found location for beehive
My dream of being a beekeeper is for me a huge leap into the unknown. Fear and procrastination has dogged me, so my New Year resolution of "getting off the fence" by boldly going forward to do what needs to be done to achieve my dreams is now in play. Large challenges can be broken down into smaller stages, which makes them easier to achieve in small steps. A major obstacle was finding a location for a beehive. A neighbour has agreed to the location of one beehive on their land free of charge, the reward of me boldly taking the plunge and asking my neighbour if they would host my beehive.
As I have no experience of beekeeping I am only going to have one beehive this year, and learn through trial and error as the year progresses by looking after that beehive. Next challenge is putting together the funding for the equipment, bees and the beehive. As far as sustainability is concerned, looking after bees is putting energy back into the environmental energy system.

ROYLE Family star Ralf Little is celebrating after his series The Cafe was recommissioned for a second series.
The former Bolton School pupil co-wrote and stars in the show, which is set in a café in Weston-Super-Mare.
He plays Richard, the former childhood sweetheart of the cafe owner's granddaughter Sarah, now a care home assistant by day and a musician by night.
The show also stars June Watson, Michelle Terry, Ellie Haddington and Daniel Ings.
Ralf said: "It's been amazing, and frankly a relief, to learn that The Cafe had a warm critical reception, but none of that matters if the powers that be don't have the faith to re-commission another series.
"Luckily for us, Stuart Murphy and Lucy Lumsden are continually supportive and have once again put their money where their mouths are. Now we just have to write it."
The eight-episode new series will air in 2013.

BOISE, IDAHO - The United Airlines captain who died after suffering a mid-flight heart attack has been identified as 63-year-old Henry Skillern, of Humble.
The captain was piloting United Flight 1603 from Houston to Seattle when the emergency occurred just before 8 p.m. Thursday forcing an off-duty pilot to take over control of the plane. Two Madigan Army Medical Center doctors onboard performed CPR, according to Jay Ebbeson, a spokesman for the hospital at Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
Ebberson says the two are captains and radiology residents who were returning to the base near Tacoma, Wash., from a medical course at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio. They were unavailable Friday to talk about the incident, he said.
The plane made an emergency landing in Boise and Skillern was still alive when he was taken to Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center, but he died during treatment, spokeswoman Jennifer Krajnik said Friday.
"Our thoughts are with his family at this time," United wrote in a statement to Local 2.
Skillern, originally from Silsbee, was an Air Force veteran and had worked for United Airlines for 26 years.
United Airlines spokeswoman Christen David said another off-duty United Airlines pilot was onboard and helped land the plane.
Passengers said the plane touched down in Boise just minutes after they were informed of the medical emergency.
"They called for a doctor and said they had a medical emergency and told everyone to stay seated. We were on the ground about ten minutes later," said passenger Scott Hyde.
"We dropped out of the sky and we were in Boise before you just couldn't believe it. It was fast, he made some really really radical moves to get us there but he did a good job. It was a decent landing," said passenger Jeff Moehlenburck.
Pilots are required to get medical certificates that show they don't have major heart problems, according to the Federal Aviation Administration website.
The Boeing 737-900 had 161 passengers and a crew of six on board.
David says another pilot flew the plane and passengers to Sea-Tac Airport.

AN AWARD-WINNING invention which helps keep patients hydrated is being rolled out across Dorset's community health services.
Dorset HealthCare introduced the Hydrant bottles at Victoria Hospital in Wimborne last year and is now one of just three trusts in the country to be awarded an extra £62,500 from NHS England to extend the programme to around 2,500 patients who use the Trust's community-based Wheelchair Ser-vice and Wimborne's Community Rehabilitation Service.
The innovative device provides a simple way for patients to remain hydrated, whilst allowing community staff and carers to monitor fluid intake to reduce the risk of dehydration.
The design features a bottle which clips onto beds, chairs and wheelchairs, and a long drinking tube with a bite down valve to prevent leaks.
It also boasts a non-return system for hygiene and a clip to attach to clothing.
Julia Kinsella, specialist clinical services manager and professional head of occupational therapy at Dorset HealthCare explained: "When we used the Hydrant in our community hospital, our ward nurses reported a significant drop in the number of patients with urinary infections.
"Our aim is to work with individuals who have day-to-day difficulties keeping themselves well hydrated and to assess the health benefits and possible reduction in dehydration related illnesses or hospital admissions that having a Hydrant may bring."
Keeping hydrated is vital to a person's physical and psychological wellbeing, particularly for the elderly and those with long term conditions who are more susceptible to hydration-related conditions such as pressure ulcers, urinary tract infections and falls.
Good hydration decreases the risk of acute kidney injury, infection and the resultant need to use intravenous fluids and antibiotics.
NHS England estimates that for every £1 spent on the new Hydrant system it saves £16.

CHILDREN will be able to enjoy Easter activities influenced by Edward Elgar's childhood music at the Birthplace Museum in Lower Broadheath.
The Wand of Youth will keep young people amused with events drawn from the composer's Wand of Youth.
Families will have the opportunity to create Victorian toys and games - from thaumatropes to toy theatres - on Thursday, April 17.
They will also get hands-on with a wonderful selection of Victorian toys and objects.
A creative puppet workshop with Art Games' Jim Morris will take place on Thursday, April 24.
Children will be able to create craggy giants, delicate fairies and other puppets based upon the characters in Elgar's magical music.
Lucy Maycock, graduate trainee said: "We cannot wait to get cracking with our Wand of Youth activities.
"I have been captivated by Elgar's story of Fairyland and think children will be too.
"These wonderful workshops will be a great way for families to get creative and discover the music and magical story that Elgar created as a teenager."
Traditional garden games and special trails for younger visitors will run until Sunday, May 4.
Children can also hunt the museum's beautiful gardens for characters from Fairyland and explore as fairies or giants while discovering the magical story of The Wand of Youth.
The story and music of The Wand of Youth was begun in 1871 when Elgar was just 14 years old.
He and his brothers and sisters wrote a play in which they transported their parents to Fairyland, a magical place populated with creatures such as fairies, giants, moths and butterflies.
All events, which run from 11am to 4.30pm, are free with museum admission.

Not life changingI have always been a drugstore beauty junkie but sometimes a girl has got to splurge a little! I first have to say that the original Moroccanoil serum did not impress me and I thought it was overrated.

As a result, I started using it as a styling aid by putting a small amount on my ends before blow drying and this worked well. When I did use it as a mask, I would leave it on for an hour. — 3 years, 11 months agopixie_dust | 492 reviews

Nice, Light Mask for Finer HairFirst off, I can say that I'm a huge morrocanoil fan, so the scent alone makes me rat the product highly. But other than that...this mask really works. I prefer to put it in dry or slightly dampened hair after warming a little bit. I let it soak in for much longer than the recommended 5-7 min and if you can steam yourself or go to the sauna (even work out) with this in your hair, it really does wo...read morerk. I have very long hair which is thick, but the actual strands are somewhat thin...this means masks can weigh my hair down and pull it out. The ends get parched after i blow it out and I never color it...so the condition of my hair isn't terrible, but it's still a little dry. This lightweight mask if perfect for those conditions..it feels good when you put it on (not extra heavy or greasy) and it does leave your hair shinier, more manageable and smelling fantastic. If you have curly or wavy hair, it will bring out that texture in a really beautiful weight. This isn't exactly my FAVORITE Hair Mask (DHC Rich and Deep Conditioner is...)but it's a very good one that will allow you to keep it in for a long time and feel the results. I dont recommend this for anyone with really damaged or coarse hair, in that case there are other morrocan oil treatments because this one is fairly light though very effective. — 2 years, 6 months agosprout117 | 221 reviews

A monthly indulgenceI'm crazy for all Moroccanoil products, and this one is no exception. It's an intense hydrating masque that drenches my long, dry, color-treated, frizz-prone locks in moisture and leaves them smooth, shiny and silky. It's more expensive than some other intensive hair treatments, but SO worth it! If your hair is dry, color-treated or frizzy, this might become your new best friend. — 7 years, 8 months agoJewelrydesigner | 66 reviews

Favorite!This is my favorite hair product ever! I use it once or twice a week and it has completely changed my hair. Ive had an ombre/balayage for several years now and the bleach can be harsh on my ends but I was able to go almost 6 months without getting my hair done and at least once a week I had a friend or family member ask if I had just gotten my hair done because it looked so healthy and great. I can not recommend this enough!! — 2 years, 4 months agokaylaroussel | 6 reviews

Daaaaaaaaayum!I was about 30 seconds from cutting about 2 inches off my hair and I talked to my friend/stylist about it and she told me try this first. So glad I did!

Way to expensive for the results!After I bought this my Avon representative urged me to try Avon's Moroccan Oil Leave-in Treatment and am so I glad I did!

Moroccanoil Hydration is the best!6 months ago I put some blonde coloring on my hair and it was a disaster. I got the color but it totally ruined the texture and healthy appearance of my hair.

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
1)A program that calculates and prints the product of two even integers between one to 1000 (I'm not sure why it has to be to 1000).
It should look like:
- Code: Select all
The product of even integers from 1 to 7 is: 48
2)Build a small calculator by taking three inputs. Two of which are integer or floats and the third is an input of +,-,/,*. It should then print out a result.
Obviously I don't want the straight out answers, but I barely have an idea where to start. I've tried using while loops and range functions for the first problem but have been unable to organize them in a way to get the results I need.
Thanks all in advance for the help!
I hope this will be the first post of many on this forum and that at some point I will be answering questions like this for people in my position.

Gil Hodges
Gil Hodges
Date and Place of Birth: April 4, 1924 Princeton, Indiana
Died: April 2, 1972 West Palm Beach, Florida
Baseball Experience: Major League
Position: First Base
Rank: Sergeant
Military Unit: 16th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion US Marine Corps
Area Served: Pacific Theater of Operations
In 1993, Marine Corps veteran and first baseman Gil Hodges, who was the heart and soul of the Brooklyn Dodgers' lineup in the 1950s, fell one vote shy of being elected by the Veterans Committee to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Gilbert R. "Gil" Hodges was born on April 4, 1924, in Princeton, Indiana, and grew up in nearby Petersburg. He was a four-sport athlete at Petersburg High School and turned down an offer from the Detroit Tigers to attend St. Joseph's College in Rensselaer, Indiana, where he played basketball and baseball.
As a sophomore he was lured by the Brooklyn Dodgers and signed with the team in 1943. Without playing a game in the minors, Hodges made his major league debut on the very last day of the season – October 3 – in a 6-1 loss against the Reds.
Eleven days later, Hodges entered service with the Marine Corps. He was stationed at Pearl Harbor and then Kauai in the Hawaiian Islands where he played baseball with the 16th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion. From there he went to Tinian. In April 1945, Sergeant Hodges landed with the assault echelon at Okinawa and was assigned to his battalion's operations and intelligence section. His Bronze Star citation states that he "was entrusted with the safeguarding and stenographic preparation of highly classified documents" through "extensive periods of enemy aerial alerts and extensive bombing attacks."
Hodges remained on Okinawa until October 1945 and says that he started smoking "to have something to do sitting in those [fox] holes."
Aged 22, Hodges returned to the Brooklyn organization in 1946. He was converted to a catcher and played for the Newport News Dodgers of the Class B Piedmont League that year, batting .278 in 129 games. In 1947, he joined Brooklyn for 28 games as a back-up catcher and batted just .156, then underwent another transition the following year, moving from catcher to first base and allowing Jackie Robinson to shift over to second.
Hodges remained the Dodgers regular first baseman until drafted by the New York Mets in the 1961 expansion draft. During those years he was an eight-time all-star and three-time Gold Glove winner, and appeared in seven World Series.
In 1963, at the age of 39 and after getting off to a slow start with the Mets, Hodges was traded to the Washington Senators and managed the team for the next five seasons. Back with the Mets in 1968, he led them to their "Miracle Mets" season of 1969, defeating the Baltimore Orioles four-games-to-one in the World Series.
Gil Hodges was still at the helm of the Mets when he suffered a fatal heart attack during spring training on April 2, 1972 - two days short of his 48th birthday. He had just enjoyed a round of golf with coaches Joe Pignatano, Eddie Yost and Rube Walker.
Since his death, Hodges has had a great deal of support for enshrinement in the Hall of Fame but has always fallen short. Most recently, in 2008, he was named on 28 of the 64 ballots, 20 shy of the 75% needed for election.
Thanks to Sue Langley for the photo of Gil Hodges (above, right), taken when he returned to Indiana in 1948 to play for the local team at Winslow.

Remember, Americans are the oversized, overweight, over use, over do it humans in the world. That tico was right..."because gringos can afford it" and are dumb enough to think no one will snatch something away from them. Don't leave anything in site and it won't be stolen. The average tico makes $300 a month...do you blame them. I'd like to see an American live off that.....welfare pays more. I had a friend with me in Jaco and he set his sandles and pack of cigs on a log on the beach while we surfed. I told him not to, but he did it anyway. As we were trading waves, we watched a tico sit on the log, smoke one of his cigs, then get up and take my buddies flipflops with him as he walked down the beach....I laughed my ass off cause there wasn't a dam thing we could do but watch. By the time we would've paddled in that tico would've been half way to San Jose...besides the waves were great that morning. I'm just sayin............ I love our country but sometimes I wonder how we became a superpower or how we still function in this country. The ocean brings it all back into prespective...everytime.

New Earswick Indoor Bowls Club on cusp of New title
11:07am Thursday 24th January 2013
11:07am Thursday 24th January 2013
New Earswick Indoor Bowls Club are favourites to win the Yorkshire Over-55s League division two after they beat second-placed Selby 98-73.
That gave them 16 points to go 19 points clear at the top with two games against teams at the bottom of the table still to play.
At home, Bob Edwards side pulled away between the fourth and 12th ends, where they led 19-7, to secure a 29-15 victory against John Harrand's side.
Barry Johnson's team trailed Tex Stevens' side 13-9 after 11 ends but by the 18th they went in front 24-14. Stevens' rink made a good comeback but it wasn't enough as the home side won 24-20.
In Selby, Ralph Tiplady's rink had an 18-17 advantage over Brian Smith's side before winning the last four ends to triumph 26-17.
Selby's lone success came from Les Crabb's team. They led 19-13 with six ends to play before Barry Harrison's side came back to only go down 21-19.
New Earswick's next fixture is against Doncaster next Wednesday starting at 12.30pm.
Meanwhile, New Earswick pulled off a shock in the Yorkshire Double Rinks qualifying game as they beat first division Harrogate 36-24.
At home, Barry Johnson's team were in excellent form as they pulled away from a 9-6 advantage after ten ends to wrap up the game 24-7.
In Harrogate, Paul Dawson's team only dropped two shots over the last six ends to go from 15-7 down and only lose 17-12.
Selby proved how much they have improved over the last few years by thrashing York 48-30.
Currently second in the first division, they won the game with the rink at Thanet Road as John Phillips' side moved from 7-5 ahead after eight ends to 25-5 six ends later.
Phil Emmerson's team picked up a four, then a two, but thoughts of a comeback were short-lived as the visitors pulled away again to finish 30-12 when York conceded with one end scheduled still to be played.
The game in Selby was much closer as Graham Brooke and Barry Roberts fought out an 18-18 draw.

Two Important Lessons From a Couple of WWII Veterans

This isn't surfing it's an ocean battleground, and that wave's not a super tube it's a liquid apocalypse, waiting to happen at Dungeons on Sentinel Reef, Hout Bay in the Western Cape.
The build-up is monumental, days spent tracking it by satellite, watching shifting weather patterns, and if the storm swell makes landfall, you have the makings of a Big Wave, a rolling mass of wind-born energy that grows exponentially stronger, travelling at 30 to 50 knots, before it malevolently curls up over itself and detonates, spilling the heart of the ocean's power.
Until recently, it was the location of a 24 invite-only, professional Big Wave surfing competition known as Red Bull Big Wave Africa. While this competition has since been suspended, big wave surfers from around the world still gather when the news gets out that weather conditions are perfect for Dungeons to start pumping.
This is certainly not for the average surfer as it's a tow-in venue only (meaning surfers have to be towed into the area by jet-skis) and if you want to see the action, you'll have to hitch a ride on one of the charter boats or hike up the peak known as The Sentinel where you can get a bird's eye view of the action.
Travel tips & Planning info
Who to contact
Watch the local media for news of Dungeons or check online surf reports.
How to get here
Dungeons is not really visible from the shore so anyone wishing to see big wave surfers in action will have to get into a boat.
Where to stay
Cape Town has ample accommodation and many friendly surf spots.
What's happening
The big wave at Dungeons depends on prevailing weather conditions but usually these develop in late winter when large cold fronts move through.

In case you hadn't heard, the Oakland Zoo Teen Wild Guides (or Twigs as we call them) recently participated in a new community program here in Oakland. Trained primarily as weekend interpreters in the Children's Zoo, this dedicated group of local teen volunteers can also be seen at the tiger, chimp and sun bear exhibits, where they answer questions and provide information about the animals. In their first long-term partnership effort, the TWGs gathered at Hacienda Peralta Historical Park in December to volunteer their services in the park's native plants garden. This newly-established 6-acre park, located in the Fruitvale District along the banks of Peralta Creek, is one of the most significant historical sites in the East Bay, being one of the earliest European settlements in the area.
On December 8, during one of four national community service days of the year, the TWGs brought their tools, gloves, and tarps to the park for a morning of pulling invasive weeds. During several scheduled days in the spring and summer, the TWGs will be returning to Hacienda Peralta to continue their work, allowing them to witness the development of the garden over time. This program represents a hopeful new direction for the Zoo, involving the TWGs with community institutions that work to promote wildlife conservation.
But this doesn't end with the tossing out of a bunch of weeds. As it turns out, a great deal of this invasive plant material is edible. So the TWGs transport it back to the Zoo where (after being identified and approved by the staff horticulturists) is fed out to a wide variety of herbivorous animals. (Our giraffes especially like the thorny blackberry vines.) It's a definite win-win situation.
The other day I had the pleasure of interviewing one of the TWGs who had participated in the gardening at Hacienda Peralta in December. As a 1st year TWG, Tano was proud to be a part of the project: "It was really cool to do habitat restoration. It was fun, with lots of wildlife, but the (blackberry) thorns hurt you." Tano told me he was excited to have discovered a new type of plant at the park that he hadn't seen before. "It was wrapped around another plant and appeared to be stealing nutrients from it." As a passionate devotee of science, Tano impressed me by saying that the person he'd most like to be was Charles Darwin. He even recited one of the famous scientist's quotes about evolution.
It was gratifying to witness this young man's passion for science and discovery. It made me realize how important these science education programs are for channeling the energies of today's youth. As a member of the Oakland Zoo TWGs, Tano definitely seems to be heading in the right direction. So the next time you visit the Zoo, take a moment to say "Hi" to some of the TWGs. You just might be chatting with the next Charles Darwin!

I was just wondering, what are the PE problems you liked the most and/or had the most fun coding?
Haven't really tried solving one in a long time...
I prefer the ones that don't really require complicated math and stuff.
The one I enjoyed the most(and also learned a lot from coding) was Su Doku.
I solved it ages ago, around the time I was starting to learn python.
That might be a part of why it was so fun to do.
I also liked the ones where you're supposed to determine the number of ways to determine the number of ways stuff can be done.
Dynamic programming and recursion are fun.
Out of the more recent problems, I really like Kakuro.
I'm planning to give it a try soon.
So, what are your favorite project euler problems?
Let's bring some life back to this section of the forum.

Devfarce - Sunday, January 05, 2014 - linkI'm really confused at the size of this. I was expecting one of the old 3.5" size enclosures but I think this thing is a lot smaller. Any dimensions or perhaps something for scale in another photo? I'm thinking it's about the same size as a 2.5" drive just thicker. Reply
winterspan - Sunday, January 05, 2014 - linkSuch an interesting combination ... I assume the use of Mini PCIe SSDs in this is to avoid the bottleneck of SATA based 2.5" drives. Although I can't tell the size from the photo, if it can hold 2.5" drives they could certainly make this specific model a lot smaller with those SSDs onboars Reply

Ice and cold packs can relieve pain, swelling, and inflammation

Apply an ice or cold
pack to the injured or sore area at least 3 times a day for as long as you have

fall asleep with the ice on your skin.
Commercial cold packs are
too heavy and bulky for use on or around the eye. Be careful around the eye to
prevent a chemical burn to the eye if a pack leaks.

Thanks Sila, I've got the nokia usb cable but nothing change, let me check this, i'll keep you on the loop of this. thanks.
Hi, everybody,
Last month I wrote about the problem of getting a mobile phone compatible with frontline sms in my country (Cote d'Ivoire) and you adviced me to use to use Nokia C1-01 or for modems you can use Huawei e173.
I've tried to use Nokia C1-01 as you ask me, the problem is frontline can't get connected with the phone after detection. (see the picture below)
Can you give me some options to solve this problem?
what means n/a or N/A?
Why COM 7 always stays on "devices searching"
Hi Ntamilyango,
You can use the external command function with keywords, so that whenever the keyword is received an external command is executed.
External commands can be set up using python, php, javascript or other programming languages. For my project I used nodejs (event driven i/o library running on google's v8 javascript engine) to run external commands, and return information to FrontlineSMS. The development blog for the project is located at http://agnetpro.wordpress.com.
Hope this helps.

The Crap We Missed – Wednesday 8.24.11
Welcome to Wednesday's The Crap We Missed where once again we've experienced a few server issues that we're blaming entirely on the devastating effects of a beardless Jon Hamm returning to the Internets. (Read: Fish humped the server after making it tell him, "This coffee is terrible!") We've also got Samantha Ronson making a real-life before- and after- advertisement for coming in contact with Lindsay's geodes, as well as January Jones who looks like she's now almost as far along as Judd Apatow.
Victoria Silvstedt's bikini at the end will probably melt our server's face off again, so enjoy it while you can,
