Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/12/2013 (1334 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Plan as they might, Matt Solvason and Anabela Lopes couldn't quite prepare for a life-altering event earlier this year.
The birth of their first child, Charlotte, about five months ago involved more than its fair share of preparation: reading books and blogs, writing lists, minor renovations, purchasing baby gear and a lot of budgeting.
Yet it's hard to be truly ready for the real thing, that squirming bundle of joy -- and occasional anxiety.
"It's a definite eye-opener. People tell you what it's like but until you actually experience it you can't appreciate it," says Solvason, 40. "Priorities change."
For many parents, those new priorities include the financial considerations associated with raising a child. It isn't a low-cost affair.
A recent study by TD Economics shows parents can spend as much as $233,000 on food, shelter, clothing, transportation and recreation on a child born today until age 18.
Yet most new parents aren't prepared for the financial impact of raising a child, says Shawnnette Fraser, with TD Canada Trust.
"Even if we look at Manitoba, about 57 per cent of parents say they're not prepared for all the costs of raising a child," says the Calgary branch manager, citing a recent survey.
That wasn't the case for Lopes and Solvason, a chartered accountant.
"I definitely know how to budget for things, and that's what I would recommend people do; prepare an estimate of what you expect to incur so you don't get sticker shock when you go to the store," he says.
To save cash, the couple relied heavily on second-hand items, from clothing to a crib.
"You could buy the Rolls Royce of cribs, but do you really need it?" he says. "Why not go on to Kijiji? I've seen a lot of stuff given away for free."
Baby blogger and Winnipeg mom of two young children, Emma Durand-Wood, says finding used items also helped her and her husband Michel cut the cost of caring for two young children.
"The way we see it is, first of all, why buy something brand new when you can get something used that is perfectly good and functional?" says the mother of an infant and a toddler.
She adds finding ways to cut costs is especially important during that first year, when income is reduced.
While on maternity leave, Durand-Wood says her income dropped by about 60 per cent because employment insurance benefits only replace up to 55 per cent of insurable earnings to a maximum of $47,400, or $501 a week for parental leave.
Despite the decrease in cash flow, they made the family budget work.
"We found that there were a lot of things that just naturally changed when we had kids," she says. "We weren't going out nearly as much so that can saved a lot of money."
The couple also saved money using cloth diapers instead of disposables. While it involved spending about $500 up front, they estimate they will have spent a few thousand dollars more on disposables by the time their second child is potty trained.
Having children has also meant they've had to adjust their work schedules. When one parent works, the other is at home with the children.
Like many parents, they did a cost-benefit analysis of whether the money spent on daycare would be substantially more or less than the additional income they would earn both working full-time. For them, a reduced work schedule for Durand-Wood has been the way to go.
"We do earn less income this way, but we decided it was worth it."
Yet the financial considerations involved with raising children extend beyond adjusting the family budget to make room for the expenses of early childhood.
New parents also should brush up on their knowledge of the many government programs that can put additional cash in the piggybank, including the Registered Education Savings Plan, or RESP.
Fraser says the RESP allows parents, family and friends to contribute toward a child's post-secondary education. The growth on the contributions grow is tax-deferred, and the federal government also offers a substantial grant.
Yet surprisingly, many Canadian parents don't take advantage of the plan, she says.
"They're really missing out on one of the best savings opportunities available in Canada," Fraser says. "They can receive at least up to $7,200 in grants over the lifetime of the RESP."
Solvason says he wanted to start an RESP the day his daughter was born, but he had to wait several weeks to set up the account because she needed a social insurance number.
"The government has tried to make it simpler, where you fill out one form at the hospital for the social insurance number (SIN) as well as register at Manitoba Vital Statistics for a birth certificate," he says, adding the birth certificate is required to get the SIN.
The form also automatically enrols newborns in federal programs, including the universal child-care credit -- $100 a month until age six -- and the child tax benefit, he says.
Unlike the other programs, the RESP is an optional government plan, yet it shouldn't be ignored, in Solvason's opinion.
"It's potentially our money as taxpayers, so why not put it back in your pocket for your child, because it's going to be spent on education one way or another anyway?"
After all every dollar helps, but good planning ensures each dollar actually counts, he says.
And planning doesn't just help pad the bank account. It provides peace of mind, too, which is equally if not more important, Solvason says.
"Having a child is stressful, and every little bit that adds to that stress isn't fun, so the last thing you want to worry about is how to pay for something."

"I adjusted the title to say "Bachelorette Party & Lingerie Shower" and the designers were very helpful and prompt with their adjustments. The card is high quality and the printing looked great! I got the standard matte and it looks nice, but the frost/sparkle paper would make this card absolutely perfect. Very happy with my purchase! Will definitely use this company for all of my invitations!"
"I love this card style because it's fancy and fun! Also, you can add text to the back and I put the itinerary for the weekend there. Seriously, the best card and Wedding Paper Divas has the best customer service!"
"This was a big hit for our party as we will be celebrating in the city . I added cute quotes on the back. Quality was great and received fast ."
"I ordered cards from wedding paper divas for my sister's bridal shower, and these for her bachelorette party.. The cards are absolutely beautiful! I ordered the black background with gold dots. The Paper quality is great, the color is listed as 'black' but I would say it was more of a navy/dark navy swirl pattern and the gold accents were pretty! I opted for the 2 day shipping because I procrastinated on ordering the cards and spent the $25 BUT it was totally worth it! They were delivered FedEx to my house the NEXT DAY! It had not even been 24 hours since I placed the order! I was so impressed and will be ordering again in the near future"
"The paper quality is wonderful and the colors look bold and beautiful!!! I love their products and I love my Bachelorette cards!!! They were perfect and everyone loved them!!!"

So reinstall it?
Hey guys...
Well this is the weirdest thing. Some how Java on my installation of backtrack 3 has all of a sudden stopped working. I got a message from firefox telling me that I need to install the plugin. Earlier today it was working just fine and I restarted the computer I have backtrack installed on and now it isn't working anymore. Any ideas on how or why this might of happened and how I can go about installing it.
thank you in advance
So reinstall it?
I managed to fix it ok
Sorry for the stupid post you can delete it if you want
Here is what I did though if anyone is interested:
1. I downloaded the self-extracting file from java.com:
2. I then created a new directory to install it to:
mkdir /usr/java
You can install it anywhere but the installation instructions suggested it here.
3. I copied the .bin to the directory I want to install it
cp /root/jre-6u7-linux-i586.bin /usr/java
4. Then I set the permissions (I don't think you really have to do this)
chmod a+x jre-6u<version>-linux-i586-rpm.bin
5. Once permissions are set I ran the .bin file
note** type yes to agree with the license agreement
6. cd to directory firefox/plugins is installed
cd /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
7. Link the java lib to the firefox plugins
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_07/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
note** You must be in the /usr/lib/firefox/plugins directory and you link from the directory you installed java in
8. Restart firefox
And there you go.. I think those were all the steps I did. You can follow the instructions on the java site if I messed anything up
p.s. thank you for your help
Glad it worked out. I'm having to reinstall Java myself, as the Java in my old BT2 won't support the new SpoonWEP and WPA.
That is interesting.. When you say that do you mean that your wireless connection won't connect to wireless signals that are encrypted with WEP or WPA? Or are you referring to something else?
I am just curious because my BT3 won't connect to encrypted because wpa_supplicant won't start

LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors will introduce a new motion today which reaffirms its commitment to a strategy to distribute air traffic throughout the region.
The revised measure is a substitute of a motion authored two weeks ago by Supervisor Don Knabe that included harsh criticism of Los Angeles World Airports and questioned whether the agency had done enough to redistribute air traffic.
Knabe's motion aimed to find out if LAWA - which manages L.A./Ontario International Airport and Los Angeles International Airport - had complied with a 2006 settlement that required the agency to redistribute air traffic to airports throughout the region.
After several delays since it was first introduced this month, a much-toned-down version is expected to be discussed today.
"A timely assessment of the City and LAWA's compliance with the Settlement Agreement, and with the implementation of a regional airport strategy is needed," the substitute motion states.
The revised version, which now includes Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas as co-author, still directs William Fujioka, the county's chief executive officer to review the airport redistribution strategy plan. Similar to the original version, the revised motion also calls for a report on the findings be brought back to the board within 30 days.
Andrew Veis, assistant press deputy for Knabe, said the motion now involves both supervisors, who since redistricting share the area immediately surrounding LAX. Knabe represents Playa del Rey and El Segundo, while Ridley-Thomas represents Westchester.
"Supervisor Knabe is very concerned whether Los Angeles World Airports has complied with the settlement agreement. For that reason, he is bringing this motion forward: to ensure that LAWA is taking the necessary steps to focus on a regional approach to air travel," Veis said.
The need for the report arose from Knabe's interest in the most current information and data on where LAWA is in respect to the settlement agreement's commitments, Veis said.
The settlement agreement between the county and LAWA stems from expansion plans at LAX.
The settlement called for the agency to take substantive steps to reduce environmental impacts near LAX by encouraging passenger and cargo expansion at ONT and L.A./Palmdale Regional airports.
Denny Schneider, president of Alliance for a Regional Solution to Airport Congestion, praised the Board of Supervisors for recognizing the importance of the distribution of air commerce for of all Southern California.
"We look forward to county review of airport utilization and its actions to facilitate regionalization. We are certain that the county report will illustrate Los Angeles World Airports lip service, at best, to its obligations to foster regionalization in our 2006 Stipulated Settlement Agreement," he said.

The RAMMELLZEE Galaxseum - Children's Museum of the Arts
Through January 30, 2013 - West Village
The Children's Museum of the Arts presents the most comprehensive collection of works to-date by visionary artist and MC, RAMMELLZEE. Entitled The RAMMELLZEE Galaxseum, the exhibition will reveal the inner workings of RAMMELLZEE's artistic vision and trace his career trajectory which began in the 1970s as a pioneering "Wild Style" graffiti writer and hip hop MC and evolved in manifesto and medium to the far reaches of the imagination.
RAMMELLZEE's legend grew in a Tribeca loft known as the "Battle Station," where the artist conceived a new vision for the future – a self-made mythology, known as Gothic Futurism, with its own set of heroes and villains, which he called Recyclers and Trashers or more notably, Garbage Gods and Monster Models. For over 30 years, RAMMELLZEE inhabited the universe he created, building layer upon layer of legend and legacy.
The RAMMELLZEE Galaxseum showcases a visual encyclopedia of RAMMELLZEE's artworks including full-body life-sized costumes, masks, character frescoes, figurines, large scale paintings and video and audio recordings from some of his performances. Suspended from the gallery's ceiling are RAMMELLZEE's legendary letter racers, or car-like vehicles representing letters of the alphabet seeking to "break free."
In addition to his visual artwork, RAMMELLZEE is well-known for his contributions to hip-hop lyricism and vocalization, as illustrated in the documentaries Style Wars and Wild Style, as well as the hip-hop single Beat Bop, which was produced by Jean-Michael Basquiat and consists of a 10 minute narrative rap by RAMMELLZEE and K-Rob that is considered to be one of the most essential hip-hop recordings ever made.

Vital Theatre Company Presents 'Show Way' - McGinn/Cazale Theatre
Through March 03, 2013 - Upper West Side
Based on the Newbery Honor-winning book by Jacqueline Woodson and illustrated by Hudson Talbott, this new musical, with music and lyrics by Tyrone L. Robinson, a book by Melody Cooper, and direction by Melissa Maxwell, follows one girl in modern-day Brooklyn as she explores her family's past. As seven generations of women pass on the family tradition of the "show way", or a secret quilt to freedom, from slavery to today, they also pass on their strength and determination to be free.
In "Show Way," Toshi Georgiana looks for a beloved family heirloom. As she searches, the generations of women who came before her, from slaves who sewed paths to freedom to civil rights marchers, pass on their stories, and teach Toshi to reconnect with the past and celebrate the possibilities of the future.
The "Show Way" cast includes David Andino, Ashley Lynette Brown, Adiagha Faizah, Norma Hernandez, Christine Lee, Danea Robinson, and Donnell E. Smith. The crew includes Director Melissa Maxwell, Set Designer Kyle Dixon, Costume Designer Amanda Jenks, Lighting Designer Josh Bradford, Musical Director Mike Pettry, and Production Stage Manager Emily Rolston.

Food is used as a social ritual, a holiday tradition, a symbol of comfort, a gift, and an excuse to catch up with friends. The curators of this exhibition hope it will encourage visitors (both grown ups and kids) to examine a thing we all do everyday -- eat! -- and think about everything that goes into that act more consciously. The exhibition touches on a lot of serious issues such as the scarcity of food predicted for the future, alternatives to avoid that shortage, and childhood obesity.
'Twas the Night Before Christmas: A Holiday Reading With NBC New York's Anchor Pat Battle - Church of the Intercession
Through December 23, 2013 - Manhattan
One of New York's longest running family holiday traditions is the annual recitation of Clement Clarke Moore's 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, this year read by News 4 New York's anchor Pat Battle, at historic Church of the Intercession. Lantern procession, wreath-laying at Moore's grave site and reception immediately follow at Trinity Church Cemetery & Mausoleum, located across from the church.
Pat Battle joined NBC New York in April 1996. She serves as co-anchor for "Weekend Today in New York" and is one of the station's New Jersey correspondents. Battle's reports focus on issues affecting the Garden State, as well as breaking news of the day.
Clement Clarke Moore (1779-1863) was the son of Dr. Benjamin Moore, the sixth rector of Trinity Parish. In 1822, as a Christmas present for his six children, Moore wrote the poem also known as "A Visit from St. Nicholas" that became a cherished classic. Moore is buried at Trinity Church Cemetery & Mausoleum, which is located across from The Church of the Intercession.

Jones School Leadership
Four Jones School students, Class of 2009, won first place in Tulane's Business Plan Case Competition that was held the weekend of April 17th. Jason Howard, Drew Laxton, Randi Martin, and Christopher Steddum succeeded over teams from schools including Vanderbilt, Emory, and other highly ranked competitors. Six teams were selected as finalists from 86 business plan submissions representing 37 different schools including Northwestern, John Hopkins, University of Pennsylvania, among others. The business plan competition also attracted internal participation from schools in countries such as India, Mexico, Canada, and Chile. The case the students worked on involved a private company that had developed and held patents for specialized drilling technology that improved the process and success rate in off shore, deep water drilling. The majority owner wanted out of the company, so the company needed to raise equity in order to achieve this. The case occurred in 2006, at a time when IPOs were prevalent. The students determined that an IPO would be the best choice and that the NYSE would be a viable market option. "We were required to identify risks involved with this decision and also develop three recommendations including the reorganization of management," stated Randi Martin. She continued "in order to complete the analysis, we valued the company on both the NYSE and the Norway based Oslo exchange. We used a blended WACC that involved the market recognizing the company as both an oilfield services firm and a technology driven firm." The team also looked at alternatives to the IPO to ensure that it was the most viable option. The Rice team's success in the competition netted $5000. "It was a lot of fun and we were proud to have the opportunity to represent Rice" Martin said.

I am completely new to CSS and would like to display a thumbnail with its title to the right of the thumbnail. How do i do this without use of tables.
Something similar to below:
Thumbnail * Title * *
Thanks for your help
Hi HalfMan. Welcome to SitePoint.
You could do this in several ways, depending on how important the tumbnail is. Is it just for decoration, or should it be in the html itself? It might help if you showed us what you would have done with tables, so that we cet a better sense of what you are trying to achieve.
That is a difficult question to answer without more information.
Typically you would float the thumbnail left and let the text flow across the page. Or you could float them both left, both right, or one left, one right, or float the title right and let the thumbnail flow down the page.
It all depends on what exactly you are trying to achieve.
Thanks for the response. In a table i would have done it like so:

 Image Goes Here	 Image Title Here

 Item Price Goes Here

I hope this helps
Please checkout: Stationery
I would like to have a thumbnail with its title next to it.
You could do something like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<meta charset="utf-8">

This election is increasingly reminding me of the Monty Python sketch "Confuse a Cat". Live debates between main party leaders and daily coverage across the media, are confusing the electorate and threatening to split the vote, leaving the nation rudderless. Yet, in this glut of political "information" and opinion, the most important issue for this country is hardly ever mentioned: our membership of the EU.
Over 80% of our laws come from the EU and where our own laws conflict, EU law takes precedence. All aspects of our lives are almost totally governed by Brussels and the situation will only get worse. Blair and Brown, by enthusiastically endorsing tens of thousands of these laws, have disempowered the British people even to the extent of limiting freedom of speech, a positively Orwellian tactic that effectively forbids any opposition. For this privilege, we're being charged £45 million a day!
A useful website, which gives the facts about the EU rather than the spin, is www.campaignfortruth.com. The page headed "Picture an Independent Britain" not only clearly refutes all the arguments against our leaving, but, having been published in 1997, also reveals the extent of the damage done to this country by Labour over the past 13 years. Yet Steve Parker, our UKIP candidate says we should vote for David Drew. Sadly, though David may be strongly anti-EU, this will just give Brown another seat.
Only one party leader has given us hope of an EU Referendum and that is David Cameron. I suggest we give him a massive vote and then hold his feet to the fire to make him deliver on that promise. Let's get out, and put the Great back in Britain!

A Trip Around the WorldLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
Albert, who was just back from his trip around the world in a sailboat, asked me, "What part of my boat has travelled the longest distance?"
AnswerThe mast, in other words the top of the highest mast (top of the sail).
The earth is round(ish), therefore the mast would form a concentric circle with the hull (for example). The mast, being the furthest away from the centre of the earth, would form a circle whose circumference would be bigger, therefore it would have travelled the longest distance.

The Media's Favorite Green Energy "Zinger" Is A Dud
Blog ››› ››› SHAUNA THEEL & MAX GREENBERG
The media declared one of the top "zingers" of last night's debate to be Mitt Romney's line, "I had a friend who said, you don't just pick the winners and losers; you pick the losers." But that line is based on a blatantly false claim that Romney made later in the debate, that "about half" of the Obama administration's investments in green energy have gone to bankrupt companies.
As even the Romney campaign has reportedly acknowledged, Romney got it completely wrong: a large chunk of that money went to projects like energy efficiency, and within the green energy loan guarantee program the vast majority of projects are still up and running.
The claim that "half" of the $90 billion spent on various clean energy projects went to bankrupt companies made easy fodder for solid fact-checks. But some ignored this blatant falsehood to push Romney's anti-green energy claims. Fox News seized on Romney's "pick the losers" line to declare that all the investments in green energy amounted to a "$90 Billion Boondoggle." And USA Today purported to ask "Are Obama green-energy loans really 'losers'?" but highlighted three of Romney's selective examples instead.
But of the $90 billion that Fox declared a "Boondoggle," nearly one-third was for energy efficiency measures, including retrofits in low-income neighborhoods, and another $10 billion went to electric grid modernization.
Even if Romney was referring only to the clean energy loan program funded under the stimulus, he still got it completely wrong. The New York Times called it "a gross overstatement," noting that "of nearly three dozen recipients of loans under the Department of Energy's loan guarantee program, only three are currently in bankruptcy." In fact, over 87 percent of the funds for the Department of Energy's 1705 loan guarantee program went to low-risk power generation projects, which are required to secure contracts with power purchasers before receiving a loan guarantee, virtually eliminating the risk of default. Congress anticipated that not all companies would succeed, and a Bloomberg Government analysis suggests they set aside more than enough to cover losses -- $2.47 billion, not $90 billion:
One of the three companies that filed for bankruptcy, Beacon Power, is still in operation, and one of the companies Romney used as an example of Obama administration profligacy, electric auto manufacturer Tesla Motors, is paying back its loans and recently announced plans to expand its retail operations.
And while Fox cheered Romney's claim that one year of green energy support is equivalent to "about 50 years' worth of what oil and gas receives," that claim is also misleading. The $90 billion was not spent in one year, as Romney claimed, and some of it has not been spent. While clean energy benefitted from the temporary stimulus, the oil and gas industry received far more subsidies in their initial years and still benefits from about about $4 billion in permanent tax breaks, along with indirect subsidies like not paying for the pollution it imposes on the public.

Too few Ilkley people may be taking the opportunity to have their say on the draft Core Strategy of Bradford Council's Local Plan, a local councillor fears.
Ilkley parish councillor, Paul Kitching, found just 62 responses had been collected at Ilkley Town Hall last week and expressed disappointment with the amount of public comments so far from the area.
Councillor Kitching has been a key local figure in raising awareness of the Local Plan and what it could mean for Ilkley as well as working with the parish council to spread the word about consultation on the previous draft of the Core Strategy, and Strategic Housing Land Allocation Assessments published by Bradford Council.
Although the Council is not currently consulting on specific designations of plots of land across the district, Coun Kitching has been keen to publicise the studies, which highlight areas of land potentially suitable for housing, business development, areas of current Green Belt land, and plots likely to be unsuitable or unavailable for development.
Coun Kitching was also a key figure in the Ilkley Future Group, a group of local experts in various fields brought together to discuss the town's infrastructure and expected needs, before work starts on the production of a Neighbourhood Plan – which could give the community greater say in allocation of facilities and determination of local planning applications.
But Coun Kitching says he is disappointed with the low number of responses at Ilkley Town Hall to Bradford Council's Core Strategy consultation.
He said: "I'm extremely disappointed and I think the people of Ilkley can do better than that."
Not all of the consultation is carried out via the Town Hall, however, and it is unclear how many Wharfedale residents have taken advantage of Bradford Council's online consultation forms, or sent responses by e-mail.
Bradford Council says it cannot currently tell how many comments in total submitted so far relate to Ilkley. But the Council stressed weight is placed on the number of representations received, but rather the issues raised.
Core Strategy: What you need to know
Residents of the Ilkley area have less than a fortnight to have their say on the proposed central part of a development blueprint set to shape the future of the Bradford district.
Bradford Council is holding a public consultation on the Publication Draft Core Strategy – a significant document at the heart of the Local Plan.
When adopted, this document will be at the heart of a planning and development blueprint which will influence where housing and business premises can be build over the next 15 to 20 years.
Public consultation draws to a close on March 31.
The Council will collate all written representations it receives and prepare the Core Strategy for submission to the Secretary of State for examination by an independent planning inspector.
The overall Local Plan will be used as the basis for determining future planning applications.
The Core Strategy itself sets out broad policies for guiding and restraining development, broad locations for new housing, employment and infrastructure investment.
It takes into account existing national and regional planning policies.
Although the Core Strategy itself does not formally earmark land for development, it does set out housing targets for the area.
It suggests a total of 42,100 new homes are needed in the Bradford District by 2030.
Of these, it proposes housing targets of 800 for Ilkley, 200 each in Addingham and Burley-in-Wharfedale, and 400 in Menston.
These are significant reductions on previous figures put out in a previous draft of the Core Strategy. The reduction has been attributed to an EC habitats directive restricting building on areas which may be vital habitat to moorland wildlife species.
Actual land designations, setting out what land will be officially designated building land, and the boundaries of the Green Belt, are expected to take place at a later stage of the Local Plan's formulation – possibly this summer.
However, Strategy Housing Land Allocation Assessments (SHLAAs), which can be viewed along with the full details of the Publication Draft Core Strategy, show local plots of land which had been considered for housing, business development, and indeed some land ruled as unsuitable or unavailable for housing in the near future.
This is based on research by Council planning officers, and sites suggested by landowners and developers.
Residents' views are not the only ones that will be taken into account before the strategy is finally agreed.
The views of landowners, businesses, property developers and other organisations must also be studied.
After Bradford Council's consultation ends, at 5pm on Monday, March 31, the Strategy will be prepared for the Secretary of State for examination by an independent planning inspector.
This examination is a public assessment, which will determine whether or not the Core Strategy is fit to be adopted.
It will consider the Plan's soundness and is legally compliant with regulations.

To display monitoring data for your app, select Analytics in the main menu of the Mobile Analytics portal. This expands the App Usage menu item in the left navigation menu and opens Sessions. (You can also view app usage by clicking the monitor icon next to your app in the App Overview page). Make sure that the application shown in the Application drop-down menu on the Sessions page is your app. If not, select it in the drop-down menu.
Here are the various ways you can view the session-related data that you can monitor. For each view, you get:
- A graph that plots session data for given points in time during a specified time period.
- A summary table of the session data over the time period.
- A table that lists the raw session data over the time period captured for each point in time.
|Session data view
|What it displays
|Number of active sessions and number of users.
|Sessions by App Versions
|Number of sessions for each version of your app.
|Sessions by Config Overrides
|Number of sessions for each configuration specified for your app. This can include default configurations, beta test configurations, and A/B test configurations.
|Sessions by Device Platforms
|Number of sessions for each device operating system (such as iOS or Android).
|Sessions by Device Models
|Number of sessions for each device model (such as Apple iPhone 4g or HTC Thunderbolt).
|Session Duration
|Average session length (in seconds).
Selecting a time period to display
Select the time period for the display by selecting one of the following buttons:
- 1h. The previous hour. This is the default.
- 3h. The previous three hours.
- 6h. The previous six hours.
- 12h. The previous twelve hours.
- 1d. The previous day (24 hours).
- 1w. The previous week (7 days).
For example, here is the Sessions view for an app over the previous hour.
Here is a view of Sessions by Device Platforms over the previous day:
Displaying a time comparison
You can also display a view that compares session-related data for the currently selected time period with the same period yesterday or last week. You do this by checking a "Compare with" checkbox above the graph.. For example, if the current view is for an hour, you can compare the session data with the data captured for the same hour yesterday, or the same hour last week.
Here is a display that compares session data for the previous hour with the same hour yesterday:
Examine the display for spikes or drops in sessions. Dramatic and sustained drops in sessions can indicate a problem.
Examining the session metrics summary
The session metrics summary is a table that contains the following information recorded for the current time period:
- Total Sessions. The number of active sessions.
- Max Concurrent Sessions. The maximum number of concurrently active sessions.
- Avg Session Length (seconds). The average session length (in seconds).
- Total Unique Users. The number of unique users.
If you select a "Compare with" checkbox, the summary displays two tables, one for the current period and one for the previous period.
Examining the session raw data
Below the graph and the session metrics summary, you'll see a table that lists the data captured for each recorded point in time over the current time period. The columns of the table list the following information:
- Timestamp. The time stamp of the data capture.
- Number of Sessions. The number of active sessions.
- % of Total Sessions. The percentage the total sessions that the number of active session represents.
Each of the table columns is configurable. By clicking the down arrow next to a table column heading, you can sort the data in a column by ascending or descending order, group the data in the column, or remove or re-add a column from or to the display.

A 'LIFELINE' service for teenagers in Burnley has received a massive boost from the Big Lottery Fund.
The Space Youth Bus, which visits different parts of the town, can carry on serving the community for another three years after netting £250,000.
Lynne Blackburn, 45, from Trawden, said staff are now trained to offer advice and help those in need who are struggling.
"The youngsters tell us if they have got issues at home, or if they need any help for their anti-social behaviour. Drugs and alcohol misuse are common issues," said Lynne. "We can direct them to the right person and help them as much as possible — it's often their lifeline."
The Lottery cash is being spent on staffing costs, maintenance and diesel to get to and from the different areas in Burnley. It runs four nights a week between 5.30 and 9.30pm during the week and 10pm at weekends, and once inside, teenagers can socialise with each other, use Playstations, watch a DVD, TV, or interact on iPads.
Lynne worked alongside the council and police to set up the Space youth Bus in 2007. "It was originally a project that started off as a place for young people to go at the weekends. But after its success, we are now out from Wednesdays to Saturdays.
"The youngsters were quite territorial to start off with but over time we have been able to get into the areas and get some great feedback.
"The kids can come and go as they please throughout the night."
Lynne bought the bus from Transdev for £4,000 and now employs 10 sessional workers, with more than 50 youngsters visiting each night.
"We wanted to take the service to the streets, rather than the children having to travel out on a bus or walk. Some of them like us because they don't have the means of travelling to a youth club," said Lynne.
The Space Youth Bus, which impressed Prince Charles on a recent visit, plans to stay on the road, although Lynne said that more funding will be needed to keep it running.
"The vehicle is over 30 years old. A brand new one costs over £100,000 and I doubt we will ever be able to get one.
"Because it's old, parts can't be replaced and repairs cost more. The service is always looking for means and ways to fund itself, so that we can carry on providing a excellent service to the community."

Semantic relation identification
From ACL Wiki
Semantic relation identification: examining relations between lexical items in a sentence. The task, given a sample of semantic relation types, is to identify and classify semantic relations between nominals (i.e., nouns and base noun phrases, excluding named entities); a main purpose of this task is to assess different classification methods. Another task is, given a sentence and two tagged nominals, to predict the relation between those nominals and the direction of the relation.
SemEval and Semantic relation identification
- SemEval 1 Task 4: (2007) Classification of Semantic Relations between Nominals
- SemEval 2 Task 8: (2010) Multi-Way Classification of Semantic Relations Between Pairs of Nominals

Public schools will no longer be able to shift debt payments for new classrooms to taxpayers 40 years in the future under a bill signed by Gov. Jerry Brown Wednesday.
The bill sharply limits the cost of so-called capital appreciation bonds, which dozens of California schools have used in recent years to escape state limits on school debt and property taxes.
The legislation was proposed after a series of media reports revealed that some California schools had issued bonds that will cost future taxpayers as much as 20 times the amount borrowed. The Register detailed in February how a Kansas City-based bank had encouraged dozens of schools to issue these bonds, including some of the most expensive debt in the nation.
The bonds are costly because they are like a loan on which no principal or interest payments are made for decades. Interest is charged on the unpaid interest, causing the balance to balloon.
Schools will still be able to issue the controversial bonds, but they must be paid off in 25 years.
The bill also limits the cost of the bonds to four times the amount borrowed. That is a sharp reduction from the cost of some bonds that have recently been issued by schools in Orange County.
Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified borrowed $22 million in 2011 that will cost taxpayers nearly 13 times that amount – $280 million – to repay. A $34 million bond issued by Santa Ana Unified will cost taxpayers about $340 million to pay back.
Public schools and community college districts lobbied hard against the bill even though it allows them to continue issuing debt that is more expensive than typical borrowings. Compare the bill's limits to a 30-year home mortgage at a 5 percent interest rate, which requires payments of about twice the amount borrowed.
State Treasurer Bill Lockyer, who had pushed for the bill's passage, called the reform "reasonable and balanced." He said the bill would not hurt schools' ability to build new classrooms, but would correct "a fundamental unfairness."
"It ensures school districts no longer can heap outrageous debt burdens on the backs of future generations of taxpayers," he said in a statement, "force them to pay for aging facilities their children won't fully enjoy, and at the same time, reduce those taxpayers' ability to finance the schools their kids need. "
The bill requires schools to provide the public with more information about their planned borrowings. Before the bonds are sold, the schools must disclose how much the debt will cost and provide an explanation of why the district needs to delay interest and principal payments.
In the past, many school boards had approved bonds for which the only publicly released documents included debt repayment schedules filled with blanks.
The schools must also include a provision in each capital appreciation bond that allows the debt to paid or refinanced after 10 years. Many recent bonds are not callable, which means taxpayers cannot pay them off early to limit the expense.
Legislators repeatedly weakened the bill to respond to the schools' complaints. School officials had argued that the public had overreacted to reports of the costly bond deals. They said the bill would hurt their ability to build and maintain safe classrooms.
The bankers and lawyers who earn fees on such bond deals had blasted the legislation in meetings with school officials. In public hearings in Sacramento, however, the executives mostly stayed behind-the-scenes, letting school officials lead the debate.
Gregory Franklin, the superintendent of Tustin Unified, was one of the officials who had lobbied against some of the limits in the bill. In a letter he sent to legislators this year, he wrote that capital appreciation bonds – or CABS – were "an effective tool" that helped districts issue bonds that voters had approved.
"I do not believe that the decisions made by school districts regarding CABs – even those that are controversial – are rooted in anything but a sincere desire on the part of governing board members, administrators and school business officials to find solutions to pressing facilities needs," Franklin wrote.

>Racing>Color Run? Whats the Point
Is the color run basically a group fun run that you have to pay $45.00 to do? For you that have done this, what was your experience? Did you have fun? Was it worth the money?
Orion Goals: 5k 18:30 10K 38:00 Marathon 3:10
Go figure
I'd never run one on my own, but if a girlfriend or someone's child or grand-child asked to do it, I don't see the harm. There's little difference between that and spending money to go to an amusement park, so I don't see any need to be bothered by it. Frankly, I'm a little miffed that I didn't come up with the idea as a way to make money myself.
Trying to find some more hay to restock the barn
"Amusement park" might be the right concept.
I haven't done one (and have no interest - too many other things to do in life), but there was a color run recently in Anchorage. The participants comments should help answer OP's question. (financial analysis of article is interesting, but not the point for OP) It was the largest "run" ever held in the state. It got people outdoors and moving for a little while. No harm, no foul.
But the best-known and most-competitive running race in Alaska happens on July 4.

I'd be interested in the rates of reactive airway issues from all that stuff they throw at you.
That might make an interesting study. Any med students out there looking for a research project?
"C" is for cookie. That's good enough for me.
My running friends wanted to do The Color Run twice in New Orleans. It is not really my thing, but I went along. I think the "color" is colored cornstarch. You don't really "run", you have to go slowly through the color areas. DO NOT LET THEM SQUIRT in your face, obviously. They sell alot of crap at the start line, poor quality t-shirt, but it is kinda fun with a group.
We had a big tail gate picnic after both races, which was the most fun of all.
The cost doesn't bother me. If people want to spend $45 on one, more power to them.
I don't see the fun of getting covered in colored cornstarch. But, that could be that even 25 years later, I'm thinking, "My mom would kill me if I came home like this".
"What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight – it's the fight in the dog. – Dwight D. Eisenhower
My blog is JT Running DC. It's awesome.
Our city had a color run a few weeks ago. For at least a month before, everyone I know asked me, "Hey--are you doing the color run?" I even thought about having a shirt printed that would read, "No, I'm NOT doing the color run." I was relieved when it was finally over. Now I'm still getting, "Hey--did you do the color run?"
There are a lot of people in the world and the internet does a good job at bringing people with weird interests and fetishes together.
So..."color you annoyed"???

The most recent, massive MI mud run (a Tough Mudder event) has now caused numerous people to come down with what appears to be Noro virus. Not sure if that's a hazard of rolling around with 20k people in the mud or all those port-a-johns with ineffective alcohol-based hand sanitizer. One day you roll around in the mud...a few days later you blow it! This would probably not be the most effective ad-slogan for these sort of events to adopt, methinks...

I typically roll my eyes at such events, but in this case one of these motivated my wife to sign up for her first run in . years. good enough for me.

G.Skill takes Ripjaws SO-DIMM to DDR3-2600MHz on ASRock M8by Ian Cutress on 2/21/2014 4:20 PM EST
10 Comments
Back to Article
TiGr1982 - Friday, February 21, 2014 - linkLaptop Haswell uses 1.35 V DDR3L, if I'm not mistaken.
Most of SO-DIMMs are for laptops, and most laptops are now Haswell.
So, IMHO, this initiative with going much beyond JEDEC DDR3 1600 for DDR3 SO-DIMM's, which requires raised voltage for DRAM, won't really get a wide market adoption. Reply
Ian Cutress - Friday, February 21, 2014 - linkThe modules used for this were 1.35V 2133 MHz. That means 2133 MHz at 1.35V. If you bin the ICs correctly, then eventually you it enough which have the speed/voltage characteristics you need. Reply
TiGr1982 - Friday, February 21, 2014 - linkOK, indeed, this DDR3 2133 SO-DIMM works at 1.35V, being actually DDR3L 2133, and does not cost like a jet plane - I overlooked that initially (because I haven't seen any desktop DDD3L 2133 1.35 V offerings). Thanks.
Now, SO-DIMM systems vendors should support this speed in BIOS - then it can get some traction. Reply
TiGr1982 - Friday, February 21, 2014 - linkEnthusiast-oriented DRAM module manufacturers always tend to push premium higher frequency and/or lower timings modules, because these are more expensive than the regular ones. But these usually require higher voltage, as I said, so they usually remain niche offerings. The rest of the industry continues to use the standard JEDEC modules. Reply
Ian Cutress - Friday, February 21, 2014 - linkAs pointed out in our Memory Scaling review, there is a law of diminishing returns with faster memory. But JEDEC standard 1600 CAS 11 is a hole of performance loss - up to 20% in some benchmarks over 2400 CAS 9, which by any stretch is becoming mid range vs. the 3000 MHz memory kits available. Reply
TiGr1982 - Friday, February 21, 2014 - linkThat's right - I'm running two G.SKILL RipjawsX 2400 F3-2400C11D-16GXM kits on my Haswell Core i7 desktop myself (32 GB total), but at required 1.65 V though (bought these two kits last summer for $150 each, not for the current $200 price). For me, $150 made sense for 2X8 GB DDR 2400 kit (even CL11).
Technically, indeed, you can buy DDR3 up to 3100. However, price-wise, I would not really consider anything beyond 2400, because DDR3 prices skyrocket ridiculously fast after 2400 - this should be the result of the aforementioned binning.
So, I would say, the reasonable ceiling for desktop DDR3 in terms of street price currently is 2400-2600, and not 3000-3100. For SO-DIMMs this ceiling is now 2133 (I'm counting without overclock - at MFG rated speeds). Reply
Khenglish - Friday, February 21, 2014 - linkThis G.skill is only single rank, so it has bandwidth as if it were 2133.
The fastest memory for laptops is still 3 year old samsung M471B5273DH0, which can do 2400 11-13-13, or 2133 9-10-10, and it's dual rank.
As for how the g.skill does at 1.5V vs 1.35V... it doesn't help at all for some reason on my p150em with the 8GB dual rank version (I cannot get 2133 to run at any timings in dual channel). Reply
MikeMurphy - Friday, February 21, 2014 - linkIn this day and age the motherboard can't pull appropriate memory timings from a table based on a set voltage?
I hope JEDEC has come up with a better system for DDR4 timings, because this is inexcusable. Reply
Khenglish - Friday, February 21, 2014 - linkIt'd be fine if more laptops supported XMP. As far as I know only the m18x R2 fully supports XMP, with only a handful of other laptops even having partial support. Reply
TiGr1982 - Saturday, February 22, 2014 - linkIndeed, while lots of "above average" desktop boards do support XMP, usual "above average" $1000-1500 laptops mostly do not. That's an issue preventing the distributio of fast SO-DIMMs. Reply

A sparkledog, also known as a Sparkle is a term for a sentient feral character, with unusual hairstyles and fur colors or patterns, including rainbows. The term "Sparkledog" may also be applied to other non-canine species. Non-canine Sparkles are often referred to as Sparkleanimals.[citation needed] Furries with sparkledog fursonas are sometimes labeled wolfaboos.
The term is also used in a dismissive, derogatory way.[citation needed]
Sparkledogs are often depicted with accessories or decoration including piercings, tattoos, dyed hair, and jewelry. (A 2008 image by RaspberryMaggot depicts a colourful character, surrounded by accessories, saying "I have no thumbs!"[1]) Sparkledogs tend to be looked down upon, possibly due in part to an ED article about them.
- Scenedogs - Scenedogs "hipper" than sparkledogs.
- Gloomdogs - They are not the same as scenedogs or sparkledogs. Some may be scene, and yes, they are categorized as sparkledogs, but they cannot be insane colors, unlike other sparkles
- Emodogs (also known as Edgydogs) -[citation needed]

Medical Definition of Belly
Belly: That part of the body that contains all of the structures between the chest and the pelvis. Also called the abdomen.
The belly (or abdomen) is separated anatomically from the chest by the diaphragm, the powerful muscle spanning the body cavity below the lungs.
The belly contains a host of organs including the stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, liver, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, appendix, gallbladder, and bladder.
The word "abdomen" has a curious story behind it. It comes from the Latin "abdodere", to hide. The idea was that whatever was eaten was hidden in the abdomen.
