It's so ridiculous. I'm a guy and i dont' do it but i see many skaters and thugs and other types of guys doing it. I dont get it. Why would they even want to, they can't move well with that like that.
Most Helpful Girl
I see a lot of people negatively judging people who dress like this and perhaps these same people may trust a person in a suit because they are: tasteful, have class, charm and self respect. I guess that's why the Bernard Madoff scandal worked so well? He wore a suit.
The guy with his pants around his ankles, if you want to be judgmental, may rob you of some pocket cash but the guy in a suit may rob you of your life savings. Which is worse?
My point is people can control how you perceive them to get what they want out of you because they know what people trust. Obviously some people dont care about the perception they give off. But its quite easy to manipulate people... just wear a suit and tell people what they want to hear.00|00|0

Madame Tussauds in Berlin reveals the 'Twilight' star's life-size wax figure which possesses high details including his abs.
Madame Tussauds in Berlin revealed its latest collection, Taylor Lautner's wax figure, on Tuesday, March 19. Madame Tussauds' artists styled the replica in thin white shirt and blue jeans. Other details such as the tone of the skin, stubble and also six-pack abs are included in the figure to make it more identical.
Madame Tussauds' spokesperson, Nina-Kristin Zerbe, revealed that they wanted to give new pose and put more sex appeals to the life-size figurine for fans who had been waiting. At the launching event, former contestant of German "The Bachelor" Georgina Fleur struck a sexy pose with the Taylor look-alike.
Previously, another Taylor wax statue made its debut in Madame Tussauds London on January 26, 2012. Taylor's figure in London wears black pants, a sporty leather jacket and black t-shirt inside. The wax statue is placed beside Robert Pattinson's.
Madame Tussauds New York unveiled Taylor's figure on November 15, 2012. The team needed four months to put the figure into perfection. Some fans, however, reportedly complained that the figure was less similar to the real person. According to Examiner, the difference comes from the face's bone structure and the eyes which are smaller than the real actor's.
Best known for his role as werewolf Jacob in "Twilight" movie series, 21-year-old Taylor has also starred in 2005's "Cheaper by the Dozen 2", 2010's "Valentine's Day", and 2011's "Abduction". He joins the cast of Adam Sandler's "Grown Ups 2" which is currently in production.

I have taken 3 shots of Enbrel. The first time I only had a bruise. The second time I had a 2 inch circular red rash that took 2 weeks to almost go away completely. The third time I had a swollen 2 inch circular rash after a couple of days & then a couple days later it started to itch. Now the spot where I had the 2nd shot is starting to itch also. Does that mean I am allergic and have to stop taking these shots?READ MORE
Does a rash & itch at the injection sight of taking enbrel mean I'm allergic & need to stop taking
This question has not been answered by one of our experts yet.
You are probably not allergic. Your experience mirrors the one I had with Enbrel. I used topical benedryl to help control the itch. After 2-3 months this reaction went away and never returned. This is the most common side effect. It would still be a good idea to mention it to your doctor.

Following the meetings of academics, developers and users of real-time and embedded Linux at the previous 17 real-time Linux workshops held world-wide – the Real Time Linux Workshop will come back to the Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic and is held from October 19 to 20, 2017 followed by the Real Time Linux Summit, a discussion focused single-track event on October 21.
Real-time systems have evolved over the past decades in a relatively calm manner – performance has increased, one can say dramatically, but the main paradigms were pretty stable since the mid 80s. This has changed now. With the real-time preemption patch set moving into mainline there is nothing left to do – all problems solved … or not quite yet.
Developing a rigorous theory is important – relating these to reality is equally important. This is where CTU's research group has much experience to offer. The focus on system properties be it real-time or security and extending this into functional safety in the past years, form a good background for hosting this gathering of real-life systems developers.
Research interests of our host, Prof. Hanzalek and his group, focus, among others, on:
- Real-time systems and networking
- Combinatorial optimization and time-triggered scheduling
- Autonomous cars and other automotive applications
- Open Source (not "only" GNU/Linux)
FLOSS in embedded systems is well established, ranging from consumer electronics to network devices and increasingly industrial applications including safety related systems. The technological resources suitable for high-availability, real-time, and safety critical systems have been continuously expanding and improving – allowing to cover the entire development life cycle of industrial projects based on Open Source tools.
At the core of this development is the availability of stable operating systems with reliable real-time properties. Extending and improving these real-time properties of Open Source RTOS is continuous research and development effort that OSADL documents in the form of the annual Real Time Linux Workshop together with Linux Foundation's annual Real Time Linux Summit.
The below call for paper exclusively refers to the Real Time Linux Workshop. The Real Time Linux Summit is an add-on event to RTLWS held on October 21, focused on the real-time preemption patch set and the activities around it which has a separate call for presentation.
Authors from regulatory bodies, academics, industry as well as the user community are invited to submit original work dealing with general topics related to open-source and free-software based real- time systems research, experiments and case studies, as well as issues of integration of open-source real-time and embedded OS. A special focus will be on industrial case studies and safety related systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- FLOSS based real-time system solutions
- Modifications and variants of the GNU/Linux operating system extending its real-time capabilities
- Contributions to real-time Linux variants, drivers and extensions
- Tools for the verification and validation of real-time properties
- User-mode real-time concepts, implementation and experience
- Real-time Linux applications, in academia, research and industry
- Safety related FLOSS systems
- Work in progress reports, covering recent developments
- Educational material on real-time Linux
- RTOS core concepts, synchronization, IPC mechanisms or resource allocators
- Analysis and benchmarking methods and results of real-time FLOSS and GNU/Linux variants including comparisons
- Debugging techniques and tools, both for code and temporal debugging of core RTOS components, drivers and real-time applications
- Real-time related extensions to development environments
- Real-time and virtualization
Abstract submission and final paper
We invite you to either submit an abstract as proposal for a Work-in-Progress (WiP) or an abstract as proposal for a full paper. Authors of WiP presentations will get the opportunity to present their work in a 30-minute talk, authors of a full paper will be awarded with a 60-minute time slot. When submitting an abstract as proposal for a full paper authors confirm that they are willing to prepare a paper adhering to the form defined by the RTLWS paper template, which can be downloaded here, upon acceptance of the proposal and to submit it meeting the paper submission deadline given below. A detailed description of the editing and formatting process will be provided along with the acceptance notification email. The full paper will be included in the RTLWS18 proceedings.
Please use this form to submit your abstract proposal.
Hints for the composition of the abstract
The purpose of the abstract is to provide reviewers with as much information as possible to estimate the relevance and the importance of the work. Although it is well conceivable that some part of the data are not yet available at the time of submission, enough information must be provided to make the given conclusion comprehensible.
In detail, we need i) a statement about the rationale of the research, ii) a description of how experiments, studies, observations etc. were carried out, iii) a summary of the results, and iv) a conclusion to what extent the results will change our current views - or at least have the potential to do so.
In consequence, sentences starting with "This paper will ...", "We want to find out ...", "We will write software that ...", "The results may show ..." etc. probably are not able to fulfill the above mentioned prerequisites for an acceptable abstract.
With the exception that we have not, at least not yet, defined an upper limit of the word count, Philip Koopman's "How to write an abstract" quite well describes our expectation.

Phrases like "terribly campy" and "so bad it was good" are used to describe movies off all different types of genres but none perhaps as prevalent as the horror ones.
Horror movies have a built in audience that knows going in they're going to either get a frightful, scary and intense movie experience or they'll leave telling themselves that the movie wasn't really that good but then again, perhaps wasn't meant to be, either.
Think about movies like "Friday the 13th" and "Child's Play," which were commercially panned but made plenty of money and spawned one sequel after another. The movies were nerve racking at best, and the original was competent film making that had a story to tell. The rest of the movies arguably were made to profit on an iconic character but were devoid of any real drama and instead offered up laughable scenarios and death scenes that seemed unimaginable in a bad way.
But that didn't stop the masses from accepting the "Friday the 13th" sequels for what they were: scary and funny rolled into one mess. "Child's Play" was equally bad given the idea that a doll could do so much damage when every adult who ever watched the movie would scream out loud how they'd just kick him in his plastic head.
"Friday the 13th" was anything but the lone offender. A lot of horror movies not nearly as well known as that one were released, bombed at the box office but found an audience in the VHS and subsequent DVD market and a demographic that loves comedies that masquerade as horror flicks.

Here's a little editorial illustration I did the other day for the folks at Denizen online magazine. You can see and read the article right here. Big thanks to Elaina for bringing me on board the illustration team.
I didn't get to dedicate as much time as I would have liked to this, but I was glad for the brain stimulation/challenge. I actually had fun drawing in the travel-themed background, a real field day with google image search let me tell you. Having text to adhere to and coming up with a concept was a needed change from my recent creative sluggishness. Gotta get more freelancing under my belt so this pokémon can evolve. Keep on the lookout.

LARAMIE, Wyo. -
The doubles team of Veronica Popovici and Simona Synkova earned a spot in the Campbell's/ITA preseason doubles rankings which was recently announced by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association. The ranking qualifies them to compete in the Riviera/ITA Women's All-American Championships, Oct. 4-7, in Pacific Palisades, Calif.
"Veronica and Simona are a good doubles team and will continue improving," said head coach Dean Clower. "These young women have worked very hard to get where they are. We look forward to continuing the progress of the team and will rely heavily on their leadership this year."
Popovici, a junior from Piatra Neamt, Romania, and Synkova, a senior from Bratislava, Slovakia, enter the fall season as the 21st ranked doubles team in the country. Last season, the duo finished the year 47th nationally, while placing first amongst teams in the Mountain Region. The pair stayed among the Top 60 or better in the rankings for all eight weeks last spring.
They finished the 2011-12 year with a record of 21-9 overall and 4-3 in the league, which helped them earn All-Mountain West Conference honors. Their victories all came at the number one position.
For Popovici and the Wyoming tennis program this is the first ever ranking in singles action. She comes into the fall 123rd after finishing her sophomore campaign 20-14 overall and 3-4 in the Mountain West. She earned All-Mountain West honors in singles play for the second year in a row.
The Cowgirls will begin their fall season next Wednesday, Sept. 19, at the BYU Invitational in Provo, Utah.

Dodger Stadium Warns of Crippling Dodger Dog Shortage for 2016 Season
Citing concerns over limited supplies due to the recent debut of Burger King's flame-grilled hot dogs, the Los Angeles Dodgers announced this morning that fans should expect severe hot dog rationing in advance of the team's Opening Day on April 12. Guests will be encouraged to limit their hot dog intake to "two or three at most" over the course of a game, stadium officials warned.
"Although we've been selling large amounts of hot dogs on Opening Day for decades, this year truly has us concerned," head concessioner Buck Fredrickson says. "Even as we've raised prices, the average number of dogs eaten per fan has been increasing at a rate that just isn't sustainable."
Officials plans to double the price of Dodger Dogs from $5 to $10, hoping to discourage ballpark patrons from doubling up on the trademark steamed wieners. The team also announced plans to stop selling dogs after the seventh inning and has encouraged staff to only partially fill mustard and relish dispensers in hopes of restricting consumption.
Further complicating the situation is the arrival of newly acquired Dodgers pitchers Scott Kazmir and Kenta Maeda, two players who are reportedly known to consume several trays of hot dogs before each pitching start. When asked for comment, star center fielder Yasiel Puig admitted that the team had recently begun scouting possible replacement hot dog suppliers in Cuba. Fortunately, Vin Scully — the legendary Dodgers announcer who plans to retire after this season — has already been allotted his season-long supply of Dodger Dogs, per contract stipulations.
"We're simply asking fans to consider different options this year when it comes to ballpark food," Fredrickson says. "Maybe try a churro? Or garlic fries? Or those nachos that come in a souvenir bucket?There's just not going to be enough Dodgers Dogs, or Doyer Dogs, to go around this year."

How can i create a Link in a Field?Asked by akuthilfe24 on July 15, 2011 at 07:23 AM
i need a link in a hidden field? How can i create this?
Thanks and best regards
I would like to install a link in a report. Unfortunately I can not find any function to design around this field. The field will also be hidden.
Thank you for the help.
JotForm Support
You can use hidden boxes to insert your link. It will not be clickable in the submissions page but will display as a clickable link in HTML Table reports.
To insert a hidden box, click the hidden box or drag it to your form.
After adding the hidden box, click the Default Value button then type in the link. Be sure to use the complete url (with http://) so it becomes clickable in the html table reports.
Hope you find this answer satisfactory. If you have other questions or concerns, please let us know.
Thank you and have a safe weekend!
Hi Neil,
Thanks again for the upgrade to premium;)
I have a question about the links: How it as you've described it there, but I have the problem that it opens the same window! Is there a way to put a link to where a new window opens?
best regards
Hi Marcus,
Yes, you can let the link open the page. Instead of entering the link in the Default Value, use the following line:
Google
Please try it and let us know if it works for you or not. Thank you for using JotForm!
Our forum app automatically placed another target attribute in my response. You can use just one target attribute and you can choose any value except "_self".
I wand to use the "notification" to send each user a different set of documents, but they can only download it after they have agreed with the terms.
So I created a field (linkReport} where I paste fore each user the appropriate report. In this filed has the report/file URL at dropbox that wil be exclusively for each user.
Using a text area I put the a instruction so the user can click to accept the terms and open this text area to show the {linkReport} with the URL. How can I make this clicable?
JotForm Support
I have moved your question to separate thread and we will provide you an answer there shortly.

That's It for 'Apt. 23′ and 'Ben and Kate'? 10 Shows Taken Too Soon (PHOTOS)
On Tuesday, the news broke that ABC has pulled the acclaimed comedy Don't Trust the B—- in Apartment 23 from its Tuesday night lineup. And then on Wednesday, Deadline reported that FOX's Ben and Kate is seeing a similar fate.
Ratings. It's all about the ratings.
Ben and Kate has been getting the lowest ratings during FOX's new two-hour Tuesday comedy block. And, the second season of Apt. 23 hasn't been getting promising numbers either, averaging only 2.85 million viewers, as Adweek reported — compared to its average audience of 6.37 million viewers for the first season.
These shows may have loyal fans, but sadly not enough of them. Ben and Kate and Apt. 23 join an illustrious list of other well-done shows that were taken too soon.
James Franco, Seth Rogen, and Jason Segel. And who can forget FOX's Arrested Development starring yet another famous star, Jason Bateman, that took a hiatus in 2006 before making a comeback on streaming video site, Netflix.
Launch the gallery above to see the other shows that got pulled too soon.
Watch the video below to see what James Van Der Beek previously told Celebuzz about Season 2 of Don't Trust the B—-.

For a kid growing up in the Adelaide hills in the 1970s, Canberra was a long way away. Yet on November 11 1975, that distance was suddenly removed, obliterated by the nationwide shock of an event that would be shorthanded simply as "the dismissal".
I arrived home from school that day to find my normally stoic mother, in tears.
"They've sacked him, they've sacked him!" she explained.
I, too, was shocked, but this was more the referred importance children give things, according to the weight afforded them by adults.
The best part of 40 years later however, it is no less shocking, and certainly no less historic.
Indeed, nothing in the life of the federation's governance since has exceeded the rise and demise of the Whitlam government for sheer news impact.
The dismissal came to define the Whitlam government. This is both understandable and regrettable. It seemed to embody the whole story in a word, albeit with two vastly divergent interpretations: describing either a government so shambolic that had to be removed, or a government that had dared to challenge entrenched power and the dark forces of reaction, and again, had to be removed.
The list of reforms undertaken during tose tumultuous three years from 1972-75 was a reflection of the pent-up frustration of many in Australian society over a staggering 23 years of unbroken conservative rule between 1949 to 1972.
This expanse had accounted for virtually the entire postwar period – an amazing run of years characterised by the recovery from WWII and the explosion of the modern political economy featuring mass production, mass consumerism, mass media, and the emergence for the first time of a distinctive and progressive youth discourse.
All of this turbocharged a hunger for long-overdue social reforms for workers, for women, in multiculturalism, in indigenous equality, in the liberal arts, and the environment.
Paul Keating has called this period one a "Menzian torpor" crediting Whitlam with snapping us out of it.
The reduction most favoured by critics of the Whitlam government was that it tried to do too much too quickly.
A passage by the late historian Russel Ward in his work Australia: A Short History captured that energy beautifully.
Ward wrote of "a new wind, which most found invigorating, but some alarming", blowing through the corridors of Canberra.
Whitlam and his deputy Lance Barnard were in such a hurry after winning in 1972 that they insisted on being sworn in early, taking on all of the portfolios between them – even before electoral results were finalised in other seats – so they could get on with it.
Ward laid out the reforms they initiated in just the first 30 days, which included: ending conscription for military service and releasing draft resisters; negotiating an exchange of ambassadors with China; abolishing race and skin colour as a criterion for our immigration policy; banning racially selected sports teams from touring here (principally aimed at apartheid) setting the ball rolling on Aboriginal land rights reforms; revaluing the Australian dollar upwards; announcing reforms of divorce laws; announcing plans to support equal pay for women; increasing unemployment aid to states; banning the slaughter of endangered crocodiles and the export of their skins; scrapping British titles; steeply increasing funding to the arts; and putting the contraceptive pill on the medical benefits list.
Much more was to come including universal healthcare and free higher education, and tough economic decisions promoting trade liberalisation, and the creation of the productivity commission.
But there was scandal, too. And plenty of it.
Many years later, as a journalist in Canberra in the early 2002, I was fortunate enough to interview Gough after the publication of his book My Italian Notebook.
Sitting in the stately Hyatt Hotel, I told him my story of arriving home that day in 1975 upon which he grabbed my copy, and inscribed a touching personal note to my mother.
My Italian Notebook was a typically Whitlam-centric account of Italians in Australia – he had shared an office in the old Parliament with Labor's Tony Luchetti, the first Italian-Australian federal MP – full of detail and with the author himself never far from the action.
The great man's eyes sparkled and his famous eyebrows peaked – an expression brilliantly caught incidentally by Clifton Pugh in a painting at the National Portrait Gallery – when he learnt that I knew a little about Giuseppe Garibaldi and his role in building the Italian state.
"This young man's just done one of the best interviews," he generously told his beloved wife Margaret when we concluded our chat.
"How long have you been here?" he asked, and then before I had the chance to respond, he quipped in his unmistakably windy timbre, "you're too big for this town".
Notoriously haughty and supercilious, the ageing Whitlam had paid me way too much credit, but I took the compliment anyway.
And I haven't forgotten it.

When the word, "bicycle," first appeared in print, it
was in an article in the English newspaper, "The Daily
News." The writer spelled its variations as, 'trysicles'
and 'bysicles.' This was in 1868. To put this into time
sequence and add perspective, the first car was invented
in 1886. Bicycles were around only 18 years longer. This
is rather hard to believe!
Original bicycles were totally different looking and the
foot-powered bikes were somewhat like hobby horses.
Their nickname, coming from the odd word combination
using a hobby horse, was "Dandy horse."
In 1897, magazines advertising for ointments to ease
aches and pains, included women in these loose items of
clothing. They looked like "pantaloons" or as my friend,
Luanne suggested, "bloomers." These women wore their hair
swept up into buns, with a hat held onto their hair, using
hat pins. The smaller hat, could have been replaced with a
wider brim, with netting to tie under the women's chins.
The women, in the old fashioned ad, were preparing to ride
on bicycles.
To still look like a 'lady,' this clothing design makes
me smile. It accommodated women's 'right' to ride bikes.
They could disembark from their bike, having the look of
wearing a longer skirt.
An author of a recent book, Thomas Ambrose, includes a
long passage about the impact of bicycles on women's
equality. Here is part of that passage in the quotation
about women's bicycling:
"As women got ideas that they wanted more social liberty,
this" (the fact that cars were expensive and they were
not able to purchase them) "became irksome. The coming
of the bicycle gave women freedom…the lady's bicycle
is probably an emblem of emancipation."
"The History of Cycling in Fifty Bikes," (224 pp.),
by Irish author, Tom Ambrose. He rode bikes as a boy
in the 50's and 60's. Now, currently, as a grandfather
rides a 'sporting amateur's bike.'
When people while courting sometimes would say,
"Do you want to go for a drive? (or road trip?)"
this would sometimes include a stop at "Lover's
Lane" before going home. If one were not able to
afford a car, you could travel with a bicycle with
your sweetheart. Another choice, you could have a
bicycle built for two, called a 'tandem bike.'
The song with the chorus of "Daisy, Daisy, tell
me your answer true…" originally contains the
words, 'bicycle built for two.' It was written
in 1892 by Harry Dacre.
After all, you could still stop to have a picnic
or have a romantic moment under a tree.
There is a recent trend of using bikes to travel
as families, with the adults in the lead and they
have attached a wagon with a netted canopy-sort of
thing. The children are safely strapped down inside.
These are called, "cargo bikes." I sometimes wonder
how those children feel, as they look out upon the
world, whisking briskly past them. Do they have any
focus to their views on nature, if the parents' travel
route is on a bike path in a park? Do the children
have any thoughts on the lack of clarity of their
scenery? Is it rather blurry, once the bikes start
going down the paths quickly. Maybe they love the way
it feels going 'fast' through life?
In the 1960's and 70's, the new trend then, was to be
more conscious of the environment. The gas prices then
and other areas of society were soaring (just imagine
if we could go back to what the rising prices were
then! Smile!) I can picture someone who was a hippie
then, saying 'ride on' instead of 'right on!'
Anyway, being aware of the natural resources brought
about the movement to cycle to work.
In some big cities, they started adding a cycling
lane. Of course, in Eastern countries, this was an
older pattern, from rickshaws to bicycling in China
and India, along with other countries whose cities
were getting engorged with traffic jams.
The low cost and community sense of bikes, also was
apparent while I was growing up. There were more
'fix-it' or bicycle repair stores around back then.
In communes, if one weren't walking or riding a horse,
you may have a bicycle to get from the country into
Racing bicycles became popular and the biggest race
of this sort, was the Tour de France competition. This
came about in 1903.
Some different, unusual advancements in the bicycling
world that are notable are:
The Lucas bike lamp, an early oil lamp, made night time
bicycling safer.
Inflatable tire, thanks to John B. Dunlop's invention.
Wire spokes, kudos to James Stanley's creative usage.
In the Viet Nam war era, North Viet Nam bikes were
painted in camouflage, allowing many dangerous and
silent war events of bombs and shootings to occur.
Gears, derailers, carbon filters and more improvements
have been made over the years.
There was a Spring in the past eight years, while I
have been single when I dated a man, casually. After
we had been together a year, I had a moment where I
visualized the movie with Tom Crew, Renee Zewelleger
and Cuba Gooding. No, it was not, "Show me the money!"
It was that romantic line delivered by Renee Z. to
Tom's character:
"You had me at, 'Hello.'"
The man I was dating said,
"I would like to buy you a bicycle and keep it in my
garage for us to ride in different Central Ohio Metro
The line redone could have been, "You had me at buying
me a bike!"
That was 'as good as it gets!' I really don't need a
sparkling diamond ring nor a proposal!
It meant something, it meant some future good times.
We bought a nice red "cruising bicycle" with red and
white Hawaiian pattern. It was a reasonably priced
Schwinn bike. It had a bell! It had a light! I was so
thrilled! I had called my brother, Rich, for some
shopping input, since he is a triathlon racer and
uses a racing bike for one of the 'legs' of those
races. He told me the three speed bike, with hand
brakes, would be an 'easy adjustment' for me.
We went on a short bike ride that weekend. I headed
home, ready to call my best friend (or two) to brag
that I finally had reached a sort of commitment with
this man.
The following weekend, I headed over on a sunny day,
anticipating a wonderful afternoon of riding our bikes
together. That just seemed, to me, one of the most fun
and romantic pastimes ever!
When we opened this man's garage, he was pulling his
bike off its hooks on the wall, while I approached my
bike which was leaning against the wall. I dragged it
out into the sunshine. It was hard to roll. Oh no!
Both tires were flat. While the man looked up the
weight of the tires and got his air pump out, I had
a weird sense of doom. I know, you will call it some
kind of intuition. I was starting to babble, showing
frustration. I was flabbergasted:
"How could this have happened in one short week?"
I verbalized my fears:
"Is this a sign or something?"
I could not stop my heart from sinking, as I sat out
in the yard, looking up at the bright blue sky and
pondering the significance.
I heard what sounded like a gun shot. It was the stupid
inner tube exploding inside the tire. That sinking
feeling sunk more. He had simply over-inflated it.
I don't know why I was being so anxious, but I was!
I tried to breathe deeply, tried to allow calm to fill
me up.
When he emerged from the garage, he had 'accidentally'
exploded BOTH inner tubes. I don't know why, but I
realized this may have been on purpose. I reflected
back upon the purchase the past weekend, how he had
exclaimed. as we passed a park,
"That is the park I used to ride all the time with
my ex-girlfriend."
You may think I am crazy, but when he asked me, note
that he did not tell me,
"Do you want to take the bike back and get another one?
We could say we didn't notice that the bike's tires
were flat…"
I noticed that he did not say,
"Let's go buy new inner tubes."
I sighed and replied,
"Just take the bike back."
He looked at me,
"Are you sure, Robin?"
He didn't argue or try to talk me back into this
I then knew that the bike represented 'too much
commitment.' The relationship went downhill after
that. Weeks later, he was back with his ex, probably
riding those same paths with her.
When I talk about a bucket list, plans to travel far
and wide. I would be happy to have a bike and a man to
ride, here in Ohio. This is not that much to ask for!
I have many fond memories of bike rides with friends,
brothers, Science Club and loved ones. I hope that I
did not detract from the positive opinion I have about
This Spring and Summer, if you have a bicycle, get it
fixed up and ready to go on a marvelous ride! There
are many reasons, to enjoy scenery, move up and down
hills, pump your legs for exercise and for the special
way it feels to be on a bike! Some people who feel
hiking is overwhelming or hard on their feet, will
enjoy getting on a bicycle. It is still a rather
reasonable purchase, comparatively speaking, to
other sports equipment.
Don't worry, it is not like you will have forgotten
how to ride!
It is like that old adage, "Get right back on that
horse and ride it."
By the way, I think that would be an equally fun way
to travel around parks that accommodate horses. But,
what I really meant to say is,
"Get your bike out and enjoy the ride!
… and don't forget your bike helmet!"

For Gabbard: A Briefcase History of Time
Anthony Gabbard never won our fantasy football league. Never came close, really, despite often being armed with more picks in the first seven rounds than the rest of us had in the full draft. He would methodically fill slots based on need, meaning he always – ALWAYS – ended up taking a kicker not just too early but entirely too early. Like ridiculously early. Like seventh or eighth round early, having already rounded out a roster and ready to go worry about other things, usually poker.
Unlike others in the league, Gabbard didn't study charts or meticulously pore over fantasy gurus in the days leading up to the draft. He preferred to print out a couple of sheets, then let the numbers be the guide while the team fell into place.
This is not to say, however, that he didn't come prepared. Continue reading
This is Important (but I Know You're Not Listening): 2016 PCHS Commencement Speech
The following is the commencement speech I gave this afternoon at Powell County High School in my hometown of Stanton, Ky. I was a member of the Class of 1993.
The first words my mother said upon being told I'd been asked to speak today were "Please don't embarrass me."
Not "I'm proud" or "good luck" or even "they should've asked your sister instead." Nope. Just "don't embarrass me."
So, to honor my mom's wishes, I've made a list of topics to avoid: meth, Donald Trump, asking where the after-parties are, stories about my mom, stories about my dad and more meth.
To the person who invited me here today, I'm afraid you've made a huge mistake. To Superintendent Michael Tate and Principal Kendall Kearns it's an honor to be here, but you should know Martina Skidmore is responsible for what's to follow. To be fair, she's been a friend since kindergarten, and I thank her for having faith in me. I hope to make my mother proud. I cannot, however, promise I won't embarrass her. Continue reading
Nathan, in Summation: A Salute to Another Graduating Nephew
Nathan Brooks was born to be a middle child.
Even as a baby, he was never The Baby, long before Jon came along and assumed that still-standing title. Almost from the beginning, Nathan has been a peacemaker, a mediator, a negotiator, a giver.
This, incidentally, makes him more of a Brooks than a Hall. Granted, my knowledge of the Brooks family is pretty much limited to Troy, while my Hall history has a whole host from which to choose, but even among that sample, I'm confident in my statement.

Charles Farmer was a blessing to many
Charles Farmer liked my dad.
Sure, many people (I think) love Doc Hall, but to like him can be something a bit more challenging. He can be any one (or combination) of the following: loud, goofy, obnoxious, stubborn and in the interest of any potential inheritance someday I'm going to stop listing them
(although to be fair, I'm really just naming things about myself since the apple and tree find themselves in close geographic proximity). Continue reading
The Weird Little Kid from Bowen Elementary
This scrawny kid seemed to always be reading, and while I have been a reader for as long as I can possibly remember, his nose always seemed to be in stories far outside my usual realm of comfort. In sixth grade, I still found myself on a steady diet of The Three Investigators, but this guy feasted in a different world, one populated by monsters and demons, killers and ghosts.
Oh, sure, I knew about monsters – I was a huge fan of the classic Universal movies like Frankenstein, The Wolf Man and Creature from the Black Lagoon. His tastes, though, ran a bit bloodier.
So when I saw Aaron Saylor flipping through Fangoria, a magazine devoted to the scariest and, well, goriest, movies and entertainment of that era (the mid-1980s), I instantly knew two things: 1) This was one weird little dude; and 2) we needed to be friends.
Almost 30 years later, both are still true.

Turning 40
We lined up in a yard too hilly for football but just muddy enough for 11-year-old boys. We only had a basic grasp of the rules – football as an organized sport wouldn't come to Powell County for another two years – but we knew how to throw and run, and while we didn't know for certain the proper ins and outs of tackling, we still hit each other as young boys do. Which is to say with a reckless abandon that comes without fear of broken limbs and lost teeth.
Battered and muddy (and no doubt exhausted), we marched back to my house for cake and presents. I'm sure Star Wars was dutifully represented in the gifts, probably He-Man, too, but only one gift clearly stands out: the Wheel of Fortune board game, oddly enough. We might have been months away from official football, but Pat Sajak and Vanna White are forever.
It was my greatest birthday.
Until today.

My Baby Was Choking! Then I Remembered The Simple Tip I Learned In This VIDEO.
Babies can choke on anything from edible to non-edible stuffs. While a mother can prevent her baby from putting non edible things in his or her mouth, she cannot totally prevent him/her from eating edible things like candies. So it is advisable to learn the tip and have it handy just in case your baby chokes on anything. Apart from that, choking is very dangerous as it prevents your baby from breathing properly. This could lead to death in a matter of minutes in an extreme situation where the baby's breath ceases totally. Hence, the importance of learning the simple tip on how to save babies from choking cannot be over emphasized.
Whenever you discover that your baby is choking on anything, all you have to do is to put him or her on your legs or thighs while facing the ground. Then, gently give him a blow on the back five good times. He will either swallow the item or it will pop out of his mouth and the airway would be cleared. But if that does not work, then you have to turn him round and make him face the ceiling. You should now gently thrust him on the chest up to five times. This should clear his airway and the item that is choking him would pop out. But if this second step does not work again, you have to call an ambulance as quickly as possible.

Investors considering a purchase of athenahealth Inc ( ATHN) shares, but cautious about paying the going market price of $124.99/share, might benefit from considering selling puts among the alternative strategies at their disposal. One interesting put contract in particular, is the January 2016 put at the $75 strike, which has a bid at the time of this writing of $8.80. Collecting that bid as the premium represents a 11.7% return against the $75 commitment, or a 6.8% annualized rate of return (at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost).

Danny Dingo is the main antagonist in the Australian animated series The Adventures of Blinky Bill who frequently attempted to con the folk of Greenpatch out of their money during the first season/series of the show. He became a sort of archenemy to Blinky Bill and his gang, as he would antagonize them and attempt to con them as well. His schemes were often unraveled by Blinky and his gang or the consequences of his actions. He was usually aided by his strong but dimwitted brother Meatball, his vain sister Daisy, and his kid brother Shifty (who eventually became one of Blinky's friends).
Being Greenpatch's resident con man, Danny acted with a suave, charismatic demeanor which usually helped him pull off his scams. But he also tended to be a bully and a jerk, making him more of an antagonist towards Blinky and the gang. On some occasions, he deliberately antagonized the child protagonists of the series to accomplish some goal, such as in "Blinky and the Monster" where he, along with Meatball, attempted to fake a monster sighting at the local lake in order to win a bet and force Blinky and his friends to pay for a restaurant meal (after forcing them to pay a bill they skipped out on, of course).
Danny and Meatball
Danny and his brother/lackey Meatball
Even his siblings weren't safe. Danny often mocked and criticized Daisy though she would also take potshots back at him. Meatball was often the butt of abuse as Danny would task his brother with all the heavy work, such as the monster sighting scheme.
Danny can try earn money and thwart Blinky´s plans In "Blinky Bill favorite Café Blinky and his friends try rebuild Gllup Café but Danny want build dingo room. In episode "Blinky Bill save Granny Glasses" Danny try steal show and get money for yourself.
. Despite all this, he did show some moments of concern, such as worrying that his magician's sawing box routine was actually killing Blinky and his friends inside (they were only screaming to psyche out Danny). Most of his schemes are also done to get money for his family and he is shown to have a positive-enough relationship with his siblings for them to aid in his scams.
He also was rather formidable when angered. In the events of "Blinky Bill Finds Marcia Mouse", Blinky had staged Danny as a wanted criminal in order to win a newspaper photo contest. Naturally, Danny wanted to catch and kill Blinky until he was swayed into searching for Marcia, one of Blinky's friends who had run away in the episode to get the reward.
Around the second and third seasons, he and the rest of the Dingo Family had reformed, although he was no longer a major focus in the series at that point, save for one episode. During the finale of the third season/series however, he made a reapperance along with the residents in driving off the two human antagonists of that season/series from Greenpatch.
Notable Schemes
He was the main villain of the series' first season as several episodes revolved around his numerous get-rich-quick scams. In "Blinky Bill and the Film Star", he devised a plot to rob Greenpatch's bank under the pretense of filming a fake Western. "Blinky Bill and the Magician" featured Danny posing as a false-bearded magician named "El Diablo" to distract Greenpatch's populace while Meatball looted their homes for food that they would resell as concessions. "Blinky Beats the Drought" features Danny and Meatball's theft of a rabbit family's carrots so as to resell them to the family during the dry period at raised prices. When foiled by Blinky's traps set up to keep them from stealing more, Danny and his siblings blocked up the river by creating their own pool and attempted to sell water at high prices to the populace.
In some cases, Danny's schemes could be really petty such as when he rigged elections for club leader in "Blinky Leads the Gang" so that he could steal their saved pocket money. (That scheme ultimately resulted in the Dingoes having to work to pay off the debts to the cats he bribed for their help in rigging the election.) These schemes were always doomed to failure, of course, but Danny persisted with the schemes up until the first season finale.
One of Danny's more villainous acts occured in "Blinky Bill and Club Pet" where he convinced the (rather easily swayed) Mayor of Greenpatch to permit the construction of a tourist resort with the intention of "putting Greenpatch on the map" by giving bored city pets a chance to get out into the country. His real intention was setting up the populace of Greenpatch as live game for those bored city cats who craved to hunt and kill something, essentially an act of attempted murder. Although the cats' attempted hunting of Greenpatch's citizens was foiled by Blinky acting as a dog, this was also one of the few times (if not the only time) where Danny actually managed to be a Karma Houdini.
By the time of the second and third seasons/series of the show, the Dingo family had essentially reformed, although Danny was once again shown trying to enact another scheme in the second season episode "Blinky Bill and the Mysterious Pollution". In the episode, Blinky and his friends search for the source of a mysterious spot-creating pollutant that had gotten into the river and find its origin at a tall device Danny manufactured for a shampoo. Forcing Shifty to work on the machine, Danny was completely apathetic to the pollution he was causing when the machine producing his formula leaked into the river. He was foiled and exposed by Blinky and his friends.

Newspaper Map
Newspaper Map is helpful in showing students the connections between breaking news and their location.
Click on any yellow icon and you will find a newspaper in English, or one that can be translated into English.
If you get a newspaper that is not in English, Google translate will ask if you want to translate. Click translate.
You can see that Titles are now in English, but not all items were translated. But students will get the idea of what the headlines are.
Students can look at newspapers from all over the world, even the Rio Grande Valley.
Newspaper Map is a great way to have students compare current events by location.

'Still, the underlying question through all of this is "What's the point?" There's lip service paid to things like tradition and fandom and all that good stuff, but the bottom line is that this is all a big publicity stunt for a league desperate for anything to do with TV ratings. But publicity stunts have come and gone before, and it's not like it actually accomplished anything.'

Observer for the estimation of the force at the shoulder of a person in a wheelchair
In the context of the development of a new strategy for helping persons with limited mobiliy in wheelchair, we wish to estimate the forces at the shoulder of a person during his moving in wheelchair. To achieve this goal, an observer has to be designed from a mechanical model of the upper body of the person and from experimentations on a wheelchair. This project will take place at the Laboratory of Industrial and Human Automation control, Mechanical engineering and Computer Science (LAMIH) of the University of Valenciennes, France, within the Erasmus cooperation framework, and will be led by Prof. Jimmy Lauber there.
We are looking for a motivated student, able to invest himself fully into this project. Familiarity with Matlab programming is mandatory, as is a good command of the English language. Experience with mechanical systems, as well as some French skills, are a plus.

I am attempting to replicate the Xenforo functionality of the inbox & alerts ajax when you hover over these items in the top navbar on the right hand side.
My goal is to use this behavior in my CMS so my users will be able to use the same functionality on the cms as in the forum.
I have copied the source html to a new page and verified the ajax calls still work.
I then pared down all the non-essential html code in this test html file and then ensured the ajax calls still work.
Then I duplicated this behavior in my CMS, using the correct variables such as user_id, time, day of week, time at midnight, & csrf_token from Xenforo.
My new implementation does not work and give the following error:
The following error occurred:
Security error occurred. Please press back, refresh the page, and try again.
To help debug I copied my cms generated output and the output of the test html I created (that does work) and the only difference is the csrf_token. (I'm assuming this is different on each call).
To further help debug I copied the exact csrf_token from the forum and used that to generate the CMS code and I still get the same error (but at least the csrf_token has been eliminated).
What else could I be missing?

Found this...
Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) consists of a set of extensions to the Windows Driver Model that provides an operating system interface through which instrumented components provide information and notification. WMI is Microsoft's implementation of the Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) and Common Information Model (CIM) standards from the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF).
WMI allows scripting languages (such as VBScript or Windows PowerShell) to manage Microsoft Windows personal computers and servers, both locally and remotely. WMI comes preinstalled in Windows 2000 and in newer Microsoft OSes. It is available as a download for Windows NT,[1] Windows 95 and Windows 98.[2]
Microsoft also provides a command-line interface to WMI called Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line (WMIC).
So, I think the answer is either wrong, or too broad/vague...
9 Replies
Oct 17, 2016 at 11:56 UTC
As far as I'm aware, WMI allows you to use powershell to manage computers, but it's not actually part of WMI.
Oct 17, 2016 at 12:06 UTC
As powershell is included in the framework, the answer is definitely not wrong.
WMI provides scripts access to information. Powershell uses it, but is not included in it.
Unfortunately, in what you've found there isnt any sentence that shows otherwise.
Oct 17, 2016 at 12:14 UTC
Yeah, that's one that caught me out as well some weeks back.
I've felt that some of the questions might have been written to be potentially vague.
Oct 17, 2016 at 12:17 UTC
ok, so maybe it is wrong... (i admit to failure occasionally), but then it should be at least considered vague,,,,
Oct 17, 2016 at 12:37 UTC
Conincidentally I got that question too today, and also got it wrong. I felt the question was vague and considered flagging it, but after looking in to it, i thought it was correct.
I did think I'd seen somewhere the acronym questions were being pulled though - maybe this should be reworded to remove the acronyms and spell out each of the options.
I also noticed only something like 21% got it right, but it's classified as medium, which doesn't seem to match up
Oct 17, 2016 at 12:55 UTC
There's a disparity between the perceived difficulty of the question and the expected skill of the general IT pro/Spicehead here. I.e. - it may be a medium-level question for someone who knows PowerShell, but a difficult one for someone who has no background in PowerShell at all.
Expecting that non-PowerShell people would consider this as a 'medium-level' question is a stretch. It would be cool if the question's difficulty was related somewhat to the user participation level here in the community - i.e. if you subscribe and spend a lot of time in the PowerShell group, this should be a medium difficulty question, etc.
I had this issue today with the Dell "What does the M" stand for? I have no clue, I haven't shopped out a Dell server in probably a decade.
It is what it is, though - a fun diversion.
Oct 17, 2016 at 1:29 UTC
Two things:
First and foremost, WMF is indeed the correct answer. This has been the case since at least PowerShell V3. WMF contains not only PowerShell itself, but updated versions ofother components as well. WMF 3 includes, for example:
- Windows PowerShell 3.0
- Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)
- Windows Remote Management (WinRM)
- Management OData IIS Extension
- The Server Manager CIM Provider.
Because the WMF download is intended primarily to update a previous OS and/or a previous version of PowerShell (adding WMF 5 and Powershell 5 to Windows 8.1 for example). In order to ensure that the new version of PowerShell works correctly, it is necessary to ensure the subordinate features, like WMI itself, WIN RM are present and all correctly versioned.
The point about degree of difficulty is a fair one. I know virtually nothing about Linux: so any Linux question for me is hard. PowerShell (with my 13 years experience) questions are trivial. But the problem is even for those who know PowerShell skill level varies from those who can just about spell cmdlet (and no disrespect - we were all there once!), to those who dream in PowerShell (yes it happens, er allegedly). I think we just have to treat that one with a grain of salt. Having said that, I might bump up the degree of difficulty on this one! :-)
Finally, I am trying to remove the simple 'what does this acronym mean' questions, but left this one in as I think it valid. People do/did talk about downloading WMF. AND: for those search engine engineers (and that included me), searching for 'download WMF 3.0' gets slightly better results than 'download PowerShell 3.0' That was certainly very much the case during some of the beta/community release cycles!
tl;dr version: answer is correct, question remains
Oct 17, 2016 at 5:40 UTC
Oct 17, 2016 at 5:57 UTC
At that point it becomes a learning experience. Hopefully the explanations on the questions will be improved over time so the learning experience becomes better.
Hum Thomas, Would it be worthwhile putting your reply here in as part of the explanation to the question :)
