|[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-1470) Rework FSInputChecker and FSOutputSummer to support checksum code sharing between ChecksumFileSystem and block level crc dfs
|Mon, 02 Jul 2007 23:31:05 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1470?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12509712 ] Hadoop QA commented on HADOOP-1470: ----------------------------------- +0, new Findbugs warnings http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12360972/GenericChecksum2.patch applied and successfully tested against trunk revision r552548, but there appear to be new Findbugs warnings introduced by this patch.

In particular, it seems to me that FSInputChecker and FSOutputSummer could be extended to support pluggable sources and sinks for checksums, respectively, and DFSDataInputStream and DFSDataOutputStream could use these. Advantages of this are: (a) single implementation of checksum logic to debug and maintain; (b) keeps checksumming as close to possible to data generation and use. This patch computes checksums after data has been buffered, and validates them before it is buffered. We sometimes use large buffers and would like to guard against in-memory errors. The current checksum code catches a lot of such errors. So we should compute checksums after minimal buffering (just bytesPerChecksum, ideally) and validate them at the last possible moment (e.g., through the use of a small final buffer with a larger buffer behind it). I do not think this will significantly affect performance, and data integrity is a high priority. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

text: Book Review: Ephemera by Paul S. Kemp 23. July 2010 Book Reviews I'm supporting Kindle writers by selecting for review the occasional eBook from Amazon's Kindle Store each month. This is the second of those selections. Also, I'm taking LibraryThing's 50 Book Reading Challenge for 2010. This is my 25th read of the 50. Ephemera: Dark Stories from the mind of Paul S. Kemp by Paul S. Kemp is a collection of previously published shorts that the author collected together into a new, single volume source available in Amazon's Kindle store. Kemp is the NY Times bestselling author of the popular Erevis Cale novels and stories. As the sub-title indicates, these are dark tales. You won't come away feeling good. You'll experience murder, rape, injustice, and torture. But Kemp handles each of these topics with a certain finesse, neither overdoing it nor throwing in something just for shock factor. There may be some unsavory happenings, but they're each integral to the story in question. The collection consists of just over 200 pages and includes the following stories: The Signal (available as a free download from the author's blog): A hard-boiled detective story with a Lovecraftian slant. One Thousand and One Words: A reporter's visit to a reclusive enigma's mansion may be his last. Marlboro Man: A story about a very unangel-like angel. Confession: Two brothers go to summon a demon. The Spinner: A nautical tale about wrongdoing and self-sacrifice. Stillborn: A witch's tale of sacrifice. The Sixth Floor: A short but chilling story of zombies and survival. I found each of the stories enjoyable (maybe that's the wrong word given the content; let's say instead the stories and characters did an excellent job of luring me in). The only exception might be Marlboro Man. I don't object to the blasphemy. The story itself just didn't leave me as haunted or as satisfied as the others. My favorites were The Signal, The Spinner, and The Sixth Floor. The last, while the shortest, is also the most chilling. It's a nice send-off for what is a very well written, haunting collection of shorts.

Writing out bubble numbers is a matter of practice so that you can improve your technique and develop your own style. Start by drawing a bubble around the number as you would normally write it, then embellish with colors.
Things You'll Need
- Paper
- Pencil
- Permanent marker
- Eraser
Write down a single number on a sheet of paper. Use a pencil and draw only a faint line.
Use permanent marker to draw a bubble around the number you're using as a template. Add small circles to create the enclosed areas of the 0, 4, 6 and 8.
Erase the number written in pencil once the marker is completely dry. Touch up the marker to darken it if needed.
Color the inside of the bubble with crayons or other colored markers.
Practice writing bubble numbers until you're able to do them without writing the number properly with a pencil first. Use the bubble numbers you've made before as a reference.

At Oticon we work hard every day to help you as hearing care professionals create a better future for every child with hearing loss.
Our pediatric mission
Invisible-in-the-canal (IIC) hearing aids have always been limited to a small percentage of people. But our research shows that almost half of all first-time users would prefer to have this type if they could. Fortunately, our new miniaturized technology means twice as many of your clients can now enjoy the benefits of ICC hearing aids: no one will be able see them, and they never get in the way.
Because we have reduced the size of the components in our IIC and CIC (completely-in-the-canal) hearing aids, they can fit in smaller ear canals than ever before. However, they still offer the same improvement in hearing and reduction in effort – even in noisy places like restaurants.
Now that more of your clients can enjoy the ultimate discreet look with no buttons or settings to consider, Oticon's new IIC and CIC range may be just the choice your first-time users need to take action on their hearing loss.
Oticon's fitting and counselling tool, Genie, is designed to provide top quality fittings that meet the individual needs of each user.

Types of cloth diapers
- 0 Replies

Here is a lot of information on cloth diapering. I have listed them by style and put various YouTube videos up, so you can kind of walk through how each of them work. : ) Feel free to add input. I'm new and just started a week ago! Lol!
Here is info on how pocket diapers work. That is the style I have tried first. It is super easy to use. The only down side, is you need to wash the cover and insert every single time.
This is a "hybrid". There is no stuffing an insert, like with the pockets. You just place it under the two tabs and put it on baby. The good thing about this type of diaper is that you just pull the insert for washing, you just wipe out the cover with a baby wipe, place a new insert and put it back on baby.
Here is info on how to use a prefolded diaper. A prefold has the three panels and you need to do some folding when using it. It is also usually a sized diaper. Meaning, you have to buy more as the baby grows. But, they are around $2 a peice, which is not too bad for expense. The also last a VERY long time and you can use them easily across multiple children. Again, with the wrap, you can just wipe it and reuse it, like with the hybrids above, which saves on the machine washing for them, which means they will last longer than a cover that is machine washed every single time (like with pockets).
And, lastly you can turn the prefold diaper in something called a fitted (or you can buy them as fitteds). It is nice, because, you don't have to fold it. It dries very quickly. Is still durable for a long time, like the prefolded and can be used across multiple children. Again, you just wipe out the cover (if it's just pee) and throw them back on baby. : )

We had our wedding reception at Best Western Plus, Rockville, MD…and things couldn't have been better! Ron Wallach, Kristi Pearce, and Tanisha all helped in making our day special.
It all started when we had a hiccup with our original reception location, one month before the wedding! Considering that we were planning our wedding while living in another state, this was definitely not good news for us. In a panic, I decided to give Best Western Plus a call…as it was close to the ceremony location. Well; Kristi Pearce, and Ron Wallach, were extremely nice and accommodating. They assured me that they did have a ballroom available, and that everything would just be fine. Well; tt was more than fine:
- They immediately reserved a block of rooms for our guests wanting to "take the elevator home" after the reception. Moreover; they were flexible in adding more rooms to the block, as more people opted to stay there. I've gotten nothing but good reports – from our families – about how courteous front desk was while making their reservations.
- The response times on all of my questions were second to none…sometimes before I even logged out of my email!
- The standard guest rooms were very comfortable, clean, and top notch! We were even upgraded to a suite on our wedding night…with complimentary Champagne (Thanks, Ron!)!
- The morning of the wedding, I decided to take a peek into the ballroom. The entire ballroom was beautifully arranged (even the dance floor…which was rented for us, by Kristi & Ron). Kristi had mentioned that they had renovated the room recently, and I was extremely pleased.
- Tanisha – the front desk supervisor – was superb! Anything we needed, she was able to handle. Every morning we came downstairs, she greeted us with a smile…her personality made me, and all of our guests, comfortable.
- During our reception; the staff was organized, and there weren't any holes that needed to be filled. The open bar was awesome, and the servers were courteous!
- Because of the convenience of the hotel's location, all we had to do was hop on 270, and site-seeing was only minutes away. For the family members that flew in, they used the shuttle bus to take them to the metro.
I must say that the staff of the Best Western Plus, Rockville, MD, was like family. From upper management, to the Busboys…I can't wait to visit them again!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- When visiting the greater Washington DC area, stay at the BEST WESTERN PLUS Rockville Hotel & Suites. With 164 non-smoking guest rooms and suites, FREE parking, FREE breakfast and FREE Wi-Fi, you'll be hard pressed to find a better deal. Our prime location is convenient for work and play in Rockville Maryland and is just 12 miles north of the greater Washington DC area and directly off I-270 also known as Maryland's Technology Corridor. Our hotel is near historical sites, lovely parks, major corporations, government agencies and family attractions.

THE largely Hindu island of Bali is advertising itself in capital letters, shrinking into fine print the name of the world's largest Muslim country, Indonesia. In Malaysia, Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad ordered a police escort for a car rally in November by 200 Rolls-Royce enthusiasts from Britain in an effort to combat the perception that the country was unsafe. At Thai beach resorts like Phuket, where American, European and Japanese bookings are down by as much as 50 percent, hotels are slashing rates to get some cash for their perishable commodity: rooms.
Across Asia, countries are struggling with falling trans-Pacific air travel, which in some areas has taken stomach-churning drops of 30 percent or more. Round-trip fares for flights on major airlines between Japan and New York can be found in the $500 range, half the normal price. Cebu Pacific Air, which began operations this fall, is offering round-trip flights between Hong Kong and the Philippine resort island of Cebu for $130.
''These are unprecedented rates,'' Carlos Chua, commercial director for the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines, said from his office in Kuala Lumpur. Review
ing passenger loads for the 18 Asian airlines in his trade group, Mr. Chua said that since the September attacks, air traffic in Asia and between Asia and Europe was down by 4 percent. But with some Americans afraid to fly and some Asians afraid to fly to the United States, traffic across the Pacific plunged 30 percent. Moving to reroute empty planes to Asia or European destinations, Asian airlines have dropped 81 trans-Pacific weekly flights since mid-September.
Last Sunday Qantas, the leading Australian airline, dropped its Sydney-New York flights, part of a restructuring that is to cost 2,000 jobs. With American bookings to Australia and New Zealand down by about 20 percent in October from October of last year, Ansett Australia, the nation's second airline, was pushed into bankruptcy this fall.Continue reading the main story
In Japan, where Americans account for 15 percent of tourists, second only to visitors from the Philippines, the downturn in trans-Pacific travel has forced Japan Airlines to cut its flights to the United States by one quarter. This fall's crisis is expected to convert the airline's profit last year of $330 million into a loss of $330 million this year, and has prompted the merger, announced this month, of JAL with Japan Air System, the nation's third carrier. The big American lines have all cut flights between the United States and Japan.
Although some Pacific island nations, such as Fiji and Tonga, are hurting because of their heavy dependence on American visitors arriving by air, in much of Asia, Asian tourists predominate, and a shortage of Americans has not caused major ripples. Hong Kong's 25 percent drop in North American arrivals was neatly balanced by a 25 percent jump in arrivals from mainland China, although Chinese tourists spend far less than Americans. To spur Chinese tourism, the city's chief executive, Tung Chee-hwa, announced in October that he was ending the city's policy of restricting to 1,500 a day the number of visitors from the neighboring Chinese province of Guangdong.
In Japan, the loss in American visitors has been offset by a surge in Japanese tourism, as Japanese tourists have rerouted $1 billion worth of travel spending this fall from Hawaii and California to Japanese or other close-by Asian destinations.
''The Japanese are afraid to go overseas, so they are visiting their own country,'' said Ignatius Cronin, spokesman for the elegant Imperial Hotel in Tokyo. ''It is very difficult to get a room now.''
Reflecting on the skittishness of Japanese travelers, which has led to winter beach resort discounts in Bali, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Australia but packed hotels in Tokyo, Mr. Cronin said: ''Japanese are like minnows -- you drop a pebble, and, whoosh! They all go to the other side.''Continue reading the main story

125cc – 160cc go karts offer a slight jump from what is basically the entry level speed and functionality of the 110cc buggies. Although the engine is only slightly larger, the result is an added capability in this line of karts which includes the Red Tao 150cc 4-seater. Killer Motorsports offers karts in this category built for speed (Kandi 150cc Trailbender), trekking (Kinroad 150cc Muddy), and for function (Kandi-Cougar 150cc Hauler).
125cc-160cc go karts serve as a great introduction for all that the world of buggies has to offer. Various sizes, speeds, and construction provide product choices that are suitable for almost every potential rider.

It pains us to present this video of "10 conspiracy theories that turned out to be true."
Why? Because conspiracy nuts, while providing a certain amount of entertainment value, tend to be maddeningly irrational and sometimes dangerous, mostly because they're paranoid.
We've heard them all: chemtrails, The Illuminati, aliens living among us, secret government time travel, the faked moon landing, Paul is dead, and on and on. It's as if some people are willing and even eager to believe anything!
All ridiculous (except for maybe aliens living among us), but then when the occasional conspiracy turns out to be true, all of a sudden the nuts are going, "See! See!" And you have to listen to them drone on about all the crazy stuff all over again.
That being said, most of the conspiracy nuts know how to search on the Internet, so we can't hide these examples of actual conspiracies from them forever.
This story, "Crazy conspiracy theories that weren't so crazy after all" was originally published by Fritterati.

Our group usually walk once a month on the third Sunday of each month. A different member of our group leads the walk each month. We try to walk in both the North and South of our area which stretches from Northumberland to the Yorkshire dales and moors.
Once a year we get together to decide who will lead a walk and when.
Although our main interest is walking we would welcome others interested in swimming cycling or any other outdoor activity and can help to organise events.
The group's co-ordinators are Ivor Rose and George Theaker. To contact this group by e-mail, phone or letter please use our contact page.

I began life with two X-chromosomes and a perfectly anatomically complete and functioning female body, but have felt persistently for as long as I can remember having even a vague conception of my gender identity, that my body and the person … Continue reading
Fuck The Body Police
Body policing is a huge collection of ideology, rooted in self-appointed authority over other people's bodies as if they were property to govern and assert control over, and reprimand for any exhibit of defiance. In more specific terms, it is the assumption of being entitled to assert control over which bodies are acceptable, where they … Continue reading
Follow-Up to Being Provoked to Anti-Misogynist Action
I am really humbled by the number of people who showed their support today at the anti-misogyny demonstration against a slut-shaming pro-lifer and her peers. Both friends and strangers assembled just a few minutes past noon, and stood peacefully at the same corner. Their signs dwarfed the pro-lifers' sandwich boards. They took their body-policing rhetoric … Continue reading

I mean, what are you going to tell them? "You have troll hair." Yes, and? "And bad breath." This is something … Continue reading
The Right Kind of White
Since beginning to write about issues that I've directly experienced because I'm pale-skinned, I've been writing and speaking about the "right kind" of white, and the fact that there are multiple kinds of white.

|Photo credit: LiveInternet.ru
Kseniya Sobchak, the Russian TV personality/socialite/political activist just posted this photograph on Instagram with the following caption: "Жаклин Кеннеди и Хрущева. И так- всегда и во всем ..."– Jacqueline Kennedy and Khrushcheva– Just so, always and in everything. If I am not mistaken, the picture was taken in Vienna during Nikita and Jack's meeting that culminated in the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty more than one year later.
Sobchak's followers were divided in their reactions to the photograph. Some of them agreed with her assessment. "Russia" always was and will continue to be portly, unpolished, unsophisticated. "America" will always be a symbol of style, elegance, and class. Several people mentioned this picture embarrassed them. Others were offended and felt the caption was unnecessarily harsh. Several women pointed out that at the time the picture was taken, Nina Khruscheva was twice Jacqueline's age AND spoke several languages and was fairly educated and very erudite.
As a great admirer of Jacqueline, as I look at this picture, I still find myself rooting for Nina. It must have taken a lot of guts to stand poised next to a beauty queen and smile so pleasantly. I wish I knew what she wrote in her diary that night but I also suspect that she didn't keep one to begin with.
What's your response to this image? Also, do you know much about Nina? I am finding very little info about her online.

|Thu, 09 Apr 2009 15:27:37 GMT
I created JIRA AMQ-2202. Here's the description I bring up a fresh instance of the message broker, I then have my durable topic subscriber connect with the broker. The BrokerView object renders the correct ObjectName array sizes for DurableTopicSubscribers and InactiveDurableSubscribers on the JConsole. That is, the array sizes are 1 and 0, respectively. I then shut down my durable subscriber at which point I would expect to see the ObjectName array size for InactiveDurableSubscribers go up to 1, but that is not the case; it remains at 0.

Swans fly high at the top
By Simon Fudge
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Following a scoreless first half, Brian Flynn's side broke the deadlock when in-form striker Lee Trundle (pictured) gave The Swans a 1-0 lead four minutes after the break.
Four minutes later, Kevin Nugent made it two for the home side before substitute Andy Robinson sealed the three points with a third goal three minutes from the end.
The result maintains Swansea City's 100 percent record of the new campaign while The Pilgrims have just two points from their opening three league matches.
In Friday's other Third Division match, pre-season promotion favourites Northampton Town finally got off to a winning start with a 1-0 victory over struggling Darlington at the Sixfields Stadium.
Martin Smith's strike just before the break was enough to give The Cobblers all three points, as Martin Wilkinson's side moved up to mid-table after three matches.
The Quakers, meanwhile, remain rooted to the foot of Division Three after three straight defeats to begin the new campaign.

Emma and Dana Brooke (also known as Team Disingenuous) are a villainous tag team competing on WWE's NXT program.
The alliance formed as a result of Emma turning villainous and antagonizing Bayley, and then getting involved in Dana Brooke's match against her in April 2015.
In March, Emma began a storyline with Bayley, where she would criticize Bayley for "being too nice" and stating that it kept her from being elevated. Emma criticized Bayley once again on the March 25 episode of NXT, claiming that Bayley lost to Becky Lynch because she was too nice. After Bayley defended herself against Emma's statements, Emma slapped Bayley in response to cement herself as a villainess. On the April 1 episode of NXT, Emma was defeated by Bayley in singles action. Three weeks later on NXT, Emma caused a distraction that led to Bayley losing to Dana Brooke, officially beginning Emma's alliance with Brooke. Emma and Brooke accepted Bayley and Charlotte's challenge to face them at NXT Takeover: Unstoppable, and at the event on May 20, the duo was defeated by Bayley and Charlotte in tag team action. On the May 27 edition of NXT, the villainous Emma defeated Bayley via submission, and after the match ended, Emma and Brooke attacked Bayley and Charlotte. On the July 8 episode of NXT, Emma and Brooke were defeated by Charlotte and Sasha Banks.
On the September 23 episode of NXT, Brooke and Emma confronted the debuting Asuka during her contract signing with William Regal, making her leave the ring. The confrontation resulted in a match between Brooke and Asuka at NXT Takover: Respect, which Brooke lost.

South African rugby: can you spell 'Drama Queen'

Transform (move)
| Transform
へんしん Transformation
| Target
Transform (Japanese: へんしん Transformation) is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation I.
- 1 Effect
- 2 Learnset
- 3 Oddities
- 4 In the anime
- 5 In the manga
- 6 Trivia
- 7 In other languages
Generation I
Transform changes the user's current type(s), current stats, current stat levels, current move(s), current species, current cry, and current catch rate to that of the target's.
Each move copied by Transform will have 5 PP. With this in mind, if a Ditto encounters another Ditto in this game, both Ditto will continually Transform into each other, replenishing the 5 PP constantly and making the battle seemingly endless.
Transform does not copy the target's status ailments, level, current or maximum HP, base experience, palette colors, or the generic minimize image. The current stat changes due to Transform will be ignored by critical hits, because critical hits are based upon the Pokémon's original stats. Transform affects the user and not the target, so it is not affected by modification to the Accuracy stat and Evasion stat. However, Transform cannot be used on a target that is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly.
In-game, if a wild Pokémon uses Transform and is subsequently caught, it will become a Ditto, regardless of what species it originally was. It will then have all the stats and moves of a Ditto, except for its current HP, which will remain unaltered by this change.
In Stadium, Transform will not work if the target's current species is Ditto.
Generation II-III
Transform, if used by a shiny Pokémon, will cause the Pokémon species transformed into to appear shiny. Likewise, a normal Pokémon transforming into a shiny target's species will appear as a normal version.
Now, Transform can only be used by the first Pokémon that uses it. If another Pokémon attempts to transform afterwards, the attack will fail.
Generation IV
Unlike Generations II and III, the user of the move instead copies the target's alternate coloration. Therefore, if the target is shiny, then the user's transformed state will be shiny as well. If Transform is used on a Spiky-eared Pichu, then the Pokémon who used it will transform into a Spiky-eared Pichu. If Transform is used on a Giratina (Origin Form), or Arceus, and the Pokémon who used Transform is not holding a plate or Griseous Orb, the Pokémon will first transform to its target, and at the end of the turn transform into Giratina or Normal type Arceus.
Generation V
Transform will fail if used on a Pokémon behind a Substitute. If Transform is used on Giratina (Origin Forme) the Pokémon who used Transform will remain in Origin Form even if it is not holding a Griseous Orb, instead of reverting to Giratina (Altered Forme). If Transform is used by a Pokémon not holding a plate on an Arceus holding a plate, the Pokémon will retain the target Arceus's typing and not revert to Normal, but its own Judgment will be Normal type.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon
When Transform is used, it merely takes the form of a random Pokémon on the dungeon's floor. However, it does not copy the moves, leaving the player only the basic attack left to use (unless the Pokémon is Mew or used Transform via Assist or Sketch). It also does not copy the type of the target Pokémon.
Generation I
By leveling up
Generation II
By leveling up
Generation III
By leveling up
Generation IV
By leveling up
Generation V
By leveling up
Because Transform takes on the exact form of the Pokémon transformed into, strange things can occur when a Pokémon uses the move to become another. Specifically, Pokémon with multiple forms cause the transforming Pokémon to behave oddly.
Gastro Acid
If the Pokémon that is Transforming has previously had Gastro Acid used on it and then subsequently uses Transform without switching out beforehand, the Pokémon that it transforms into will not regain its ability, and thus will not change forms if the ability of the Pokémon transformed into causes this.
Origin Forme Giratina
In Generation IV, when a Pokémon transforms into Origin Forme Giratina, they will retain this form only briefly, and then will revert to Altered Forme. This is because only Giratina can hold the Griseous Orb, which forces this form outside of the Distortion World. Note that if the player is able to have a Pokémon that can transform when battling Giratina for the first time in the Distortion World, that Pokémon will be able to retain its transformation into Origin Forme (due to being inside of the Distortion World).
In contrast, in Generation V, when a Pokémon transforms into Origin Forme Giratina, it will retain the Origin Forme.
When a Pokémon transforms into Arceus, it will become Arceus in its Normal form, unless it is holding a plate. Holding a plate, the transformed Pokémon will at first take Arceus's current form, and then subsequently transform into the alternate form dictated by the plate.
In contrast, in Generation V, when a Pokémon transforms into a plate-holding Arceus, it will retain the Arceus's appearance and type, but Judgment will remain Normal unless the tranformed Pokémon is holding a plate itself.
The Transform Paradox
In Generation I if Ditto (or another Pokémon with only Transform) faces another Pokémon with Transform in a Trainer battle where neither Trainer has any items and no Pokémon besides the Pokémon with Transform, the battle will never end. This is because when Transform is used, the Pokémon will turn into its opponent, resulting in a Transform moveset of, again, only Transform. Since every time Transform is used, it gives the Pokémon using it the target's moveset with 5 PP each, Transform will continue to Transform into itself, restoring the PP every time it is used. Due to this, one will never reach a point where it can only use Struggle, unlike Wynaut and Wobbuffet in later generations who, although they too have no directly damaging moves, will eventually run out of PP and thus be able to use Struggle. This is likely why few Trainers have Ditto in the Generation I games.
This bug is not present in any other games because of a change in Transform mechanics: from Generation II onwards, it is not possible to Transform into a Pokémon that is the Transformation of another Pokémon.
PP Restoration
While transformed, any attempt to use a PP restoring item on the moves acquired during transformation will fail. However, if the transformed Pokémon is holding a Leppa Berry, a copied move low on PP will be restored.
In the anime
|Two Ditto
|The user transforms into a copy of the foe right down to having the same move set.
|First Used In
|Ditto's body glows white, multicolored or yellow, then transforms into the opponent.
|Duplica's Ditto
|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion
|Drake's Ditto
|Hello, Pumello!
|Duplica's Mini-Dit
|Imitation Confrontation
|Brodie's Ditto
|Unfair-Weather Friends
|Narissa's Ditto One
|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!
|Narissa's Ditto Two
|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!
|Mew's body glows multicolored, then it transforms into any Pokémon.
|Mew (movie 8)
|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew
In the manga
Pokémon Adventures
|The user transforms into a copy of the foe right down to having the same move set.
|First Chapter Used In
|Ditto morphs its body into the shape of something. It also gains the opponent's abilities as well.
|Green's Ditty
|Tauros the Tyrant
|A Team Rocket grunt's Ditto
|VS. Jumpluff
- In the German version of the Generation II games, this move was renamed from Wandler into Verwandler. The reason for this is unknown. Even though the difference in meaning is minimal, this change was retracted in the following generations.
- Transform is the only way that players can see the second sprite of Cherrim's Sun Form's battle animation prior to Generation V, as a Cherrim sent from a Poké Ball will always be sent out in Overcast Form. A Ditto that transforms into Cherrim, however, will play the Sun Form animation if it escapes from a thrown Poké Ball. The same occurs with Castform's alternate forms.
- Both Pokémon that can learn Transform by leveling up are pink and have an alternate color form that is blue.
In other languages
- Chinese: 變身 Biànshēn
- French: Morphing
- German: Wandler, Verwandler (Gen II only)

Because climbing is difficult enough.
The Petzl Pro Traxion Pulley easily hauls large bags up big walls with ease so you aren't pumped out for the next pitch. This pulley allows you to install a rope to it while being connected to an anchor in order to eliminate the possibility of dropping it when you're setting it up. Petzl mounted the large-diameter sheave on the sealed ball bearings to provide excellent efficiency, and the lower connection point creates different types of hauling systems so you can get your gear in the best way possible. Side plate locks prevent the pulley from opening while you use it, and the toothed cam has a self-cleaning slot that ensures excellent performance regardless of the conditions of the weather and the rope.
- Drop-resistant pulley
- Large-diameter aluminum sheave on sealed ball bearings
- Side plate locks
- Lower connection point
- Toothed cam with self-cleaning slot

The Cadillac of Hauling Devices
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've used the Pro Traxion extensively while working as a professional route setter and can say with confidence that it will handle any loads you send its way. The large sheave provides excellent mechanical advantage and a smooth action, making this a great choice for hauling heavier bags. The device itself is totally solid and exudes the quality you'd expect from Petzl gear.
It's definitely heavy compared to its counterparts, unless I'm planning on hauling huge bags for days I'd probably stick with the Micro. This is perfect for any extreme hauling situation and handles 50+ lbs without flinching. I've hauled multiple large volumes and features with zero slippage. Easily my go-to for professional applications or big-wall expedition climbing where weight isn't as much of a concern.
Burley device
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The Pro Traction is a very high quality and a trustworthy locking pulley. I've only used it for hauling heavy evaporative coolers up on roofs here in the valley. But I feel very confident with a few hundred pounds of steel above me on a ladder with the Pro Traction locking it off. My buddies say the Mini Traction could substitute for this instead but why take the chance!

Is Russian Strategy warlike – true or false?
Russia's strategic deployment and bombing campaign in Syria appears to have surprised and shocked many observers, including Russia watchers. It shouldn't have.
The uproar is all about Russian aggression and expansionism. Pundits decry Putin's alleged attempt to re-create the Soviet Union. The descriptors of Putin and Russia focus on hostility, aggressiveness, bellicosity, irrationality, lack of cooperation and while there is a lot of factual truth to most of the statements, there are some false presuppositions. Assessments of Russian strategic intent focusing on Russia as a bad actor fall short of the accuracy needed to understand what Russia may do next.
Russia claims it is in Syria to save Central Asia and the Caucasus. Is this true?
Critics claim Russia is trying to establish a foothold to project power and influence throughout the Middle East. Is this false?
The answers are both "No" and "Yes".
Before explaining Russia's strategic approach, a warning is in order. The following paragraphs will include some ugly material. Sensitivities about political correctness are going to be injured. The terms and the concepts are extreme and simplified from the actual complexity (the sources will help elucidate the complexity). However, these are valid characterizations of Russia's reality. These will not be the views the West-leaning, and pro-civil society and pro-democracy, Russian intelligentsia and/or emigres commonly express; and there might be concerns this version belittles the Russian soul too much. I do not wish to be offensive, but the truth is the perspective held by Russians and others in the West is not the Russian perspective which rules and makes decisions in Moscow. Perhaps too much of the views of the West-leaning Russians, and their Western associate champions of Russian democracy, influence U.S. policy with Russia today.
After reading this article and investigating the claims – you decide.
To begin with, Russia is not strategically focused on conquest and expansion. Instead, Russia is on the strategic defensive and is focused on survival.
Russia perceives a demographic crisis. Some very good analysis attempts to diminish the 'crisis' characterization, but this analysis does not appear to differentiate between ethnic Russian and national Russian. The ethnic Russian population is dying more than growing. While there is contention about this demographic statistic, it has become an element of conventional concern in Russia and affects other deeply held perceptions. Most importantly, this possible crisis feeds the ethnic Russian fear about the future of Russia's Muslim population.
In contrast to the decline in Russia's ethnic Russians and overall national populations, Russia's Muslim population is growing and becoming a greater percentage of Russia's population. In 2000, in a discussion with Russian national security students in a St. Petersburg university, they identified a threat to Russia from the "south" as greater than the threat from NATO oft-expressed in Russian rhetoric. This reflected the separatist concern about Chechnya and Dagestan, but also concerns about the threat of Islamic extremism globally and towards Russia specifically. Prior to 9/11, new Russian President Putin called for a global coalition against terrorism in an address to India's Parliament in October 2000. The victimization of Central Asia's migrant workers in Russia today is related to ethnic Russian concerns about visceral demographic and socio-cultural threat perceptions. Not only is ethnic Russia dying, it is being overrun by Muslims.
This extreme simplification does not account for a great number of contributions to Russian culture from its Muslim populations. However, while there has been and will continue to be much harmony experienced by most ethnic Russians and Russian Muslims, there are sizable elements of both cultures who will choose violence and coerciveness over cooperation.
Compound these Russian perceptions with the long-term threat identified by Russia in China's economic and military growth. Since open conflict on the borders between the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China in the early 1960s, the Stalin-Mao based cooperation (not exactly a story of heart-warming bonds of friendship itself) dissolved into rivalry and reluctant cooperation to counter perceptions about the United States' global domination. Russian fears about Chinese migrants to Siberia leading to eventual domination by the Chinese have been a real concern in Russia. Some have identified 2035 as a crucial year in how Russian threat perceptions of China become critical, but over the years the specificity has been watered down to casual references.
Oversimplified, it is very possible the Russian leadership in Moscow is driven by fundamental fears about survival – demographically, culturally, and conquest (again a la Mongols!) from the East. The strategic documents about Russian national security policy evolution from the late 1990s to the present reflect how these fears are translated into national security priorities. Russia is on the strategic defensive.
The components of this strategic defensive strategy involve mitigating the threats from Muslims and the Chinese. This strategy involves strengthening the state power structures, repressing where needed and making deals when required. To buy time before a conflict with China, Russia has tried to shift the Chinese to more actively oppose the U.S.-dominated unipolar world and advocate a multi-polar world where the U.S. treats other powers (Russia, China, and the EU) as legitimate equals; India and Brazil have added their voices to this Russia-inspired effort. But the real key to Russia's defensive strategy is to attempt to eliminate the possibility the U.S. and NATO would side with China or Russia's Muslims.
Russia would prefer to have NATO as an ally against China and Islamic extremism. If NATO will not be a partner respectful of Russia's interests, then the NATO alliance will have to be defeated. The only real strategic vulnerability of the NATO alliance is the willingness of the Western European NATO members to go to war to defend the Eastern European NATO members. Eventually, Russia will apply pressure to this vulnerability as a last-ditch effort if nothing else works in regaining the desired level of respect in the U.S.-Russian relationship.
It was only in 2004 when the initial positive developments in U.S.-Russian relations for security cooperation soured. Progress in military cooperation, treaties, and congeniality ended with the admission of the Baltic States as members in NATO. This step elevated Russia's concerns about NATO, but did not eliminate the space to talk about the growing rift between Russia's and the United States' ability to see eye to eye, or into each other's souls. The Russians viewed the expansion of NATO into former Soviet states as an affront to their stated interests. Russia was not only struggling with economic, military, and infrastructure issues being less than a superpower, but with its expressed concerns being ignored, Russia began to feel treated like a second-rate, or even third world, nation.
What kept the U.S.-Russia relationship from diverging completely was a Russian decision to continue engaging with NATO to determine NATO's long-range intentions and to influence NATO to stop expanding to the East. Additionally, a mutual interest in combatting Islamic extremism and global terrorism afforded the opportunity to cooperate on Afghanistan and related issues. But the relationship continued to deteriorate based on U.S. policy choices to ignore Russian interests and Russian policy choices to "act out" against U.S. interests more broadly.
In February 2008, Russia expressly stated a U.S. recognition of Kosovo's sovereignty would have negative consequences for peace and stability. To anyone who had been listening to Russia seriously, the August 2008 conflict in Georgia should not have been a surprise. The benefit to Russia of the Russia-Georgia conflict was it gained the attention and begrudging "respect" of the United States. U.S. policy concerns about Russia were increased, especially given a U.S. Presidential Election year. The Obama administration entered office with the intent to "Reset" the U.S.-Russia relationship. Russia was finally achieving its desired strategic ends of being treated by the United States as an important world actor. The improvement in U.S. diplomatic attention, despite flagrant missteps, like the "Reset" translation fiasco, took a turn for the worse when Vladimir Putin began a third term as Russia's President in March 2012, offending U.S. sensibilities about Presidents only serving two terms.
U.S. attention to Russia shifted to being sharply critical and deliberately provocative and condescending about Russia's democratic progress, or rather lack thereof. The appointment of Ambassador Michael McFaul as U.S. Ambassador to Russia exacerbated this shift due to his well-known advocacy for "better" Russian civil society and support for the political opposition in Russia. By the Ukraine crisis, the U.S. was lambasting Russia about LGBT rights and repressive police tactics. Russia complained about Americans abusing and killing adopted Russian children. Russia's willingness to tolerate American disrespect and criticism faded after the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics.
The relevant aspect of the Ukraine crisis for this discussion is the U.S. refusal to recognize Russia did not want to possess Eastern Ukraine and the U.S. failure to interpret the Russian re-occupation of Crimea as an opportunity for Russia rather than a planned stratagem. There was no Russian intent to occupy Crimea prior to the expansion of Ukraine's political unrest to Crimea and local calls for Russian intervention. Since March 2014, the U.S. and Russia have been alarmingly "messaging" back and forth with military exercises from Norway to the Black Sea, but the lack of real communication is glaringly stark.
President Putin likely realized the strategic ends of gaining U.S. "respect" for treating Russia like the superpower the Soviet Union was treated was failing in Ukraine. With the tensions getting close to war, Putin clearly did not believe a war with Ukraine would contribute towards Russia's desired end-state with Ukraine. Russia does not want to wage a war against Ukraine. Russia wants ethnic Russians living in Ukraine to decisively influence Ukrainian politics towards a pro-Russia stance. Russia's strategic end-state with Ukraine is in jeopardy and cannot be "fixed" by invasion. The only way Russia's end-state can be met is for Eastern Ukraine to remain in Ukraine and for Ukraine to become disenchanted with Europe and the United States. But I digress…
To get the United States' attention, Russia identified Syria as a location to demonstrate peer competitor capabilities in global force projection (only a regional projection for Russia, but that's not the way it plays out in the press) and the ability to conduct an extended, tactically-successful, but apparently ineffectual bombing campaign against a common enemy. Russian strategic intent should not be misconstrued as being predicated on support to Syria's President Assad. Russia abandoned its basing in Syria when the civil war started and Russia pressured Assad to cooperate with the OPCW to remove chemical weapons. Russia is in Syria to get the United States' attention, all other possible strategic benefits which Russia may accrue are secondary and opportunistic.
If the United States does not start treating Russia like a superpower, Russia will be forced to demonstrate its superpower capabilities through war. Russia possesses a large strategic arsenal in nuclear weapons, but Russia believes the U.S. has forgotten to take Russia's formidable strategic strike capability into proper consideration. U.S. generals pointing out Russia's nuclear arsenal in Congressional testimony is a very positive step in Russia's way of viewing the situation. Russia expects the U.S. to recognize Russia's ability to employ military force globally and contribute to international efforts as an equal in Syria.
If the U.S. refuses to adjust its view of Russia and continues to paint Russia as a bad actor, then Russia will be forced to go to war – because it perceives its survival is at stake. Russia cannot feel secure unless its self-perceptions are bolstered by its neighbors respecting Russia's strength. If the U.S. does not respect Russia's military power and interests, then Russia follows a slippery slope logic to believing no one of its neighbors will respect it. In the Russian security sector's perception, if the U.S. respects Russia's strength, then all of Russia's neighbors will have to do likewise. This is how Russia operationalizes its strategic defense to ensure survival. The U.S. treating Russia like it treated the Soviet Union is vital to Russia's belief in cultural survival.
Russia is likely willing to lose a war with NATO to achieve its strategic objective of U.S. "respect". Russia correctly realizes the U.S. and NATO will probably not invade Russia. Russia will be able to attack a NATO member state and ostensibly get away with it (if one can call losing a military conflict "getting away with it"). The Russians will do so and believe they got away with it, because Russia will be intact and the U.S. will be keenly aware of what war with Russia might risk in terms of strategic nuclear exchange. Russia will back down from the conflict and retreat to its own borders and allow the U.S. to think Russia has learned a lesson, but the Cold War redux is a very probably outcome of such a limited conflict.
Russia may take this calculated risk because it feels its back is against the wall and Russia's very survival at stake and the upside benefits are too promising. If Russia attacks the "right" NATO member, the rest of NATO might not willingly honor Article 5 commitments to defend the invaded member without U.S. pressure. Russia expects the U.S. will fight for an invaded NATO member, but Russia is not banking on a lack of American will. Russia instead will take the risk to see whether the European members of NATO will consolidate through the collective defense of a member or whether the prospect of a more serious future confrontation with Russia diminishes NATO's cohesiveness. In Russia's strategic estimation, survival and Cold War II are worth the risk of a re-energized NATO.
Interestingly enough, all this talk of war and rumors of war would likely fade to the background if the U.S. openly ceded its unipolar seat of world domination and accepted the constraints imposed on U.S. behavior by a bipolar or multipolar world. Is it really so hard for American leaders to recognize Russia possesses a huge nuclear arsenal and merits such consideration? Even American city slickers are going to be wary of approaching a mobile home trailer in the deep woods of hillbilly/redneck territory when a sign says "No Trespassing" for fear of the shotgun-toting resident. Why should Americans accord more respect to possible characters out of a "Deliverance" movie than to Russia?
Some will object to this overly deterministic interpretation of Russia's strategic perspective. Those same critics will over-value the West's interpretation of how the world should be and they will misjudge Russia's strategic perspective because the Western view is not what prevails in the Kremlin.
American policy makers should assess whether the likelihood of realizing a change in Russia's society is more likely through realistic friendship or through another Cold War. By a few important measures, Russia merits treatment as a global equal. Are the areas where Russia does not measure up to Western expectations worth the risk of a Cold War redux?
War is not inevitable. Avoiding war requires understanding the Russian leadership's perspective.
Don't like this viewpoint? Free your mind. The rest will follow.

How to Make Perfectly Crispy—But Delightfully Fluffy—Breakfast Potatoes
Exactly what your egg yolk needs.
This is what you want in a breakfast potato: a crisp outside with salty skin that shatters and a soft, fluffy, gooey center that can mop up an egg-over-easy's yolk or stand up to a forkful of scrambled. That begins with the potato. Red potatoes have a creamier starch, and boiling them before roasting ensures that they cook evenly when you crisp them in the oven. Keep the potatoes small—red b's are about 1.5 in 2.5 inches in diameter—and leave them whole.
"You're going to get a much nicer texture because the starch inside breaks down like molten cake," says Kevin Nashan, the chef at the Sidney Street Cafe and Peacemaker in St. Louis. He also recommends roasting the potatoes with fresh herbs and then finishing them with chives and a little lime peel. "The lime, like with any citrus, brings delicious acidity to the potatoes and an unexpected homeyness."
- 1.5-2 lb. small red b potatoes
- thyme
- marjoram
- fresh bay leaves
- olive oil or clarified butter*
- chives or scallions
- lime
- Season and boil a large pot of water. Add the potatoes and boil until fork tender, about 10-15 minutes. (For less work in the morning, do this step the night before.)
- Dry the potatoes and toss with olive oil or clarified butter, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs. Throw in a cast iron pan or a rimmed baking sheet and roast at 450 degrees until the skin is a crispy shell and the potatoes are gooey in the center, about 20-30 minutes.
- Remove from oven and toss with chopped scallions or chives and finish with a few grates of fresh lime peel.
*If you like garlicky potatoes, roast the potatoes with garlic oil. The potatoes absorb the oil, allowing the flavor to travel deeper into the potato. For garlic oil, use leftover oil from roasted garlic, or simmer olive oil with a few garlic cloves until they are soft, but not brown. (You can do this while boiling the potatoes.)

A/W15's new skincare innovations
When the seasons start to change, it's pretty normal to see a vast amount of new skincare hitting shelves. Whether that's the latest SPF innovations during the sunny months or hydrating moisturisers when the cold weather kicks in, you can be sure there'll be a lot to splash your cash on.
Autumn/Winter 15 is a little different though, because this season brands are adding in whole new skincare steps, as well as the usual serums and masks.
Possibly the most pioneering is Elizabeth Arden's latest launch, the Superstart Skin Renewal Booster. This isn't a normal serum or moisturiser; it's a whole new section of skincare. It should be applied after cleansing, underneath your serum and/or moisturiser, which it then helps to work even better. It strengthens the skin's ability to repair itself and improves its barrier so moisture isn't lost. It can be used on its own as a serum if you like, but the real win is when you team it with products for specific concerns - during trials, 95 per cent of women claimed it made their skincare more effective. Whether you have dehydration, irritation, oiliness of anti-ageing issues, using this, then a targeted product, will really help.
Another tip for anyone suffering from dry or dehydrated skin is Clinique Smart Treatment Oil. This is light, so it won't leave your face feeling oily, which is a good job, because you should use this during the day as well as at night. That's because it has three antioxidants in it, and those are beneficial for fighting free radicals from things like pollution during the day. It also boasts ingredients which are specifically for helping the skin's barrier, again with the main aim of locking in moisture. What's interesting with this one is the suggestion that you use it over your moisturiser to lock in the layers of skincare you've put on.
If you have some products you really love but which could do with a boost - perhaps your skin has suddenly become sensitive or is looking dull - Cover FX has you covered. Its Custom Infusion Drops come in four varieties and are added to anything you already have to super-boost it, whether that's a serum, oil or moisturiser.
The versions help with either hydration, calming, anti-ageing or radiance and they can even be added to make-up. That means your foundation can become a valuable part of your skincare arsenal, whether you want to make it more moisturising or help your skin glow.
Finally, brand This Works has launched the Light Time Skin Plumper, which was created to help people who've had a bad night's sleep. Anyone who struggles with shuteye will know that soon tells on the face, with puffiness, fine lines and general dullness all telltale signs. This products works to cut puffiness while simultaneously filling out dehydrations marks, which can show as fine lines, and getting rid of those annoying crease marks pillows and sheets can leave. Your skin will look radiant and feel smooth - it's basically eight hours' sleep in a bottle.

We love it here, and we are going on year two. The addition of the grills in the upper area has been a huge bonus! The Management seems to always be thinking about how to improve.
Enjoying the lifestyle here. The local team are great!
I have lived here for 6 months - ever since the new team came on board, the interaction and support I get as a resident is fantastic. Thank you for all your efforts to make the Preserve a great place to live!
Preserve is a quality living complex. Their real estate agents are extremely helpful and the maintenance is prompt. So far I have no complaints.
We have found the grounds, accommodations, and vistas at Preserve Marin to be quite satisfactory and a treasured experience for all. If we didn't have so many young children, we'd seriously consider moving in for good! We are so lucky this apartment complex exists in Marin. And everyone from the leasing staff to maintenance have been quite friendly.
