I know, I know. The patch has been out an hour. You probably haven't even had a chance to play yet or draw any conclusions, but I just wanted to get an initial reaction from people. What are your gut reactions to the changes they've implemented? Do you think it will be enough to lure those on the fence and bring back some people?
Personally, I'm unbelievably satistfied with the update. Item Sort is fantastic. Selling items is MUCH faster. Larger inventory and retainer inventory is great. Removal of +1/+2 items also helps. Streamlined crafting is unbelievably awesome (in comparison to what it was). Increased accuracy MIGHT be a tad overboard currently and I can see that being readjusted, but it is still a welcome change. SP improvements also seem to be a bit extreme, but I would much rather see 1-200sp a pop than the common 0-50 I see now. Also, having them appear exactly like physical xp is just so much more rewarding. I ALWAYS get SP in a battle now. It isn't random! Separate chat filters! Imrpoved UI! Improved menu setups! I mean, the list of things they actually imrpoved is... well... what they told us it would be. And for SE, that is an enormous step in the right direction.
So what does everyone else think initially?

AR Browsers Head To Head – Test 2
Whereas part 1 of the head to head challenge focused on finding food, part 2 of the augmented reality browser head to head challenge focuses on using the browsers to find more information about your surroundings.
The scenario is you are travelling and you see something of interest, can an augmented reality browser tell you what it is?
About the test
The test took place in London along the River Thames. I tested 3 augmented reality applications:
- Wikitude's Qype and Wikipedia search
- Layar's Wikipedia and the Unlike Global Guide layer from Unlike Media Limited
- Robotvision's default Wikipedia search
With each test I switched to the relevant map mode to double check my results.
The test begins at London bridge, looking along the river I can see HMS Belfast (an ex-Royal Navy Town-class cruiser) and just behind it Tower Bridge.
Layar gets off to a bad start as neither of the layers find any of the two reference landmarks, switching to the map view confirms that neither of the landmarks are found. Using the Wikitude Wikipedia search we draw a blank on both the landmarks, but the Wikitude Qype search does find HMS Belfast. Robotvision uses the Wikipedia database and it fails to find any of the landmarks.
HMS Belfast is a well known London landmark visited by thousands of tourists each year and Tower Bridge is a symbol of London so I was really surprised that it wasn't found. The browsers had no problem with the other bridges along the Thames even the insignificant ones.
As I worked my way down the Thames I came across the London Dungeons so thought I would stop and do a quick test. Both the Layar layers along with the Wikitude Wikipedia search found the dungeon. But both Wikitude Qype and Robotvision missed the landmark.
Not far past the dungeons is the Golden Hinde, a ship captained by Sir Frances Drake. It wasn't going to be part of my test but since I was standing in front of it, just like a tourist I thought I would take the chance to find out more. The problem here is there is not a lot of space so you are literally on top of the ship. GPS is accurate to something like 50 meters so being so close to the subject actually didn't help. My initial tests showed that none of the browsers found the Golden Hinde but to be sure I switched to map mode and looked at the POIs on the map.
Once in map mode only Layar and the Wikipedia layer found the object. In the photo you'll see that the accuracy Layar is reporting is 1.5km (about a mile to the rest of us), so the marker appears on the extreme left, almost with the ship out of view. I put this down to the fact that it's a really closed in area with lots of buildings.
There are several other tourist attractions here, Southwark Cathedral (the oldest cathedral in London) and Clink Prison which dates back to the 12th century. Only Robotvision and Layar (Wikipedia) found these landmarks.
A short walk from the Golden Hinde you can see St Paul's Cathedral on the other side of the Thames. Layar and both the Wikipedia and Unlike layers failed to find the cathedral (confirmed via the map view) as did Wikitude (Wikipedia) but Wikitude Qype and Robotvision had no problem finding the landmark.
The London Eye is probably London best know tourist attraction, so it was a good sign that all the browsers had no problem finding the landmark. What helped here was I was on the other side of the river with a good distance between me and the target so GPS accuracy wasn't so much of an issue. Actually this was one of the best tests because it really was a case of point the camera and the visual marker would come into view very near the object.
The last test was the Houses of Parliament. Layar (Wikipedia) had no problem with finding the target as did Robotvision. Wikitude (Wikipedia) failed to find the target, but after refusing to give up with Wikitude (Qype) I did manage to find it. The location is slightly wrong so it didn't appear when I pointed in the correct location. The only interesting thing Unlike found was Indigo02 and I have no idea what that is.
Before we move on to the results here are some of my experiences with the various apps.
Both Layar and Wikitude drove me crazy with having to work in Kilometres, I know I mentioned it before but it is really annoying not to be able to switch into a localised unit of measurement particularly when trying to judge objects over large distances.
Every time you open Wikitude you have to reset the distance or it defaults to a range of 67.69 km for Wikipedia and 11.41 km for Qype. Wikitude also crashed every time I changed the POI database so I would have to restart the app and then reset the distance. That got annoying pretty quickly with all the tests I was doing.
I like the fact that in Wikitude you can select multiple databases, in real life you are probably going to have your defaults selected so will be less likely to fiddle like I did. With Layar you can only use one POI at a time and given the differences between the Unlike and Wikipedia databases you are never really sure if you are missing anything.
Robotvision was kind of a surprise, it used miles which was good but again every time you opened the app the distance reset to 3 miles (I guess the distance is somewhat reasonable). Robotvision was easy to use as there was no switching between databases, you have the choice of Twitter, Bing, Flickr and Wikipedia. Robotvision is actually a pretty good augmented reality application and deserves far more recognition that it receives. It easily competes with the big boys so well done to the developers.
What's interesting however is the differences between the Wikipedia searches. For Layar the database that performs the best is the Wikipedia search, for Wikitude it's the Qype search. I think it's an interesting difference and deserves further investigation.
The scores then, in this head to head challenge each browser was asked to find 7 well know London landmarks so we'll award 1 point for each landmark found.
- 1st place Wikitude with 5 points
- 2nd place Layar with 4 points
- 3rd place Robotvision 3 points
Can you use an augmented reality browser to find out information about your surroundings? The answer is yes.
A couple of tips:
Generally it's a lot easier to have some distance between you and the subject to combat the GPS accuracy. If you are too close you may have to pan around to find the object. Secondly it's sometimes easier to find the object on the map view first, that way when you switch the camera view it's selected and saves you searching around.

I was looking at the test running code in js/src last night over a beer. It seems to me the "easy" solution here would be to refactor jit_test.py to use the same test running "framework" as jstests.py. The crazy single process model described in the initial comment could be deferred to a follow-up bug if things aren't fast enough. FWIW, the timings for jit_tests.py on my MBP are as follows: real 18m49.003s user 8m39.230s sys 4m18.158s We have ~13 minutes of CPU time running tests with one core. Assuming we could max out all 4 physical cores plus the 4 hyperthreading threads and yield 25% from hyperthreading, we'd get a nice 5x speedup and would execute tests in about 2.5 minutes! |make check| takes about 30 minutes on builbot machines (this executes jit_tests.py). Parallel jit_test.py execution would shave a *lot* of time off of |make check| and free up build machines to perform more builds.

Also I'd love to get these harnesses packaged up with the rest of the tests and run on the test slaves instead of the build slaves. Then we could fix them to run on mobile as well and gain the ARM test coverage we're currently lacking.

Among places to bandy about sports, bars are more appropriate than supermarket bins filled with basketballs or the ref's son's birthday party. Put sportpinions in the proper venue with today's Groupon to Fatso's Sports Garden on Bandera Road. Choose between the following options:
- For $13, you get a slider meal for two (a $27 total value) that includes:
- Six burger sliders (a $13.50 value)
- Onion rings (a $4.50 value)
- Seasoned french fries (a $3.50 value)
Two sodas (a $2.75 value each)
For $12, you get $25 worth of anything on the menu of pub favorites.
At Fatso's Sports Garden, fans cheer at blaring screens while sandwiches and meaty meals make it from the menu to the goal. The beef burger sliders, made from 100% Angus, come topped with onions, pickles, and tomato. To accompany these Smurf-sized meat towers, cooks season and fry skin-on fries and dip onion slices in beer batter to fry them to crispy brown rings, exactly unlike the rings of Saturn during an eclipse. If you opt for anything on the menu, your incisors can tear into pub grub such as the southwest burger, which mimics the colors of the desert with a chunky combination of salsa, sautéed onions, mushrooms, and melted cheddar cheese, or barbecue favorites such as a half rack of slow-smoked baby back ribs.
On game days, sports beam from big-screen TVs and the sounds of cheering and jeering fill Fatso's interior as well as its outdoor patio. Other nights, Fatso's hosts games of pool and sand volleyball. Karaoke events give patrons the chance to belt out, on stage, renditions of "Achy Breaky Heart" or the truth about their neighbor's second navel.
Fatso's Sports Garden
Since 1987, Fatso's Sports Garden's roster of chefs have been slow cooking meats with passion and precision–they mesquite-smoke their brisket for 12 hours and dish out racks of savory baby-back ribs that slide off the bone. Housemade sides and sauces are crafted fresh daily, and 22 beers on tap fill frosty glasses that frequently clink after touchdowns, homeruns, and slam dunks flicker across satellite-equipped TVs lining the restaurant's walls. Outside, a playground beckons youngsters, while grains of sand and old blueprints for Victorian-era sand mansions kick up across six outdoor volleyball courts.

The new Madden game has a little glitch (literally) that makes LB Christian Kirksey a teeny, tiny, man who is dwarfed by the football. It's funny to watch, and now EA has completely owned their mistake by creating a game trailer featuring a teeny, tiny real-life Kirksey with footage of the in-game glitch. Way to make lemonade out of lemons, EA.

I met a girl on a dating site. We talked for a bit. She asked for my number and I gave it to her. She just told me she has a disability. How do I let her know that I'm not interested anymore? Yes I know it's shallow and I'm a a hole for thinking this way. It's just I've grown up with a parent who suffers for MS. I've seen what a disability can do to a relationship. I know I'm a terrible person. I don't want to hurt her at all. But what should I do?
How do I go about handling this situation with her?
What Girls Said 1
I'd advise you against telling her the truth. Simply mention her that you're not sure you want a relationship or tell her that you found someone else.00|00|0
What Guys Said 2
you can't do anything but telling her the truth, because even if you lie and back out she'll understand it. so tell her that i can't keep any kind of contact with you im really sorry i didn't mean to hurt your feelings but im interested in someone else, hope you dont mind.00|00|0
You're an asshole, people like you should be killed
Just tell her u found a girl not now after 2-3 weeks and let her know that your only only interested as a friend.00|00|0

Navi Pillay said on Monday that corroborated reports showed that soldiers, military conscripts, police and others who had surrendered or had been captured had been summarily executed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and its allies. Live Box 201461213304888167 "Although the numbers cannot be verified yet, this apparently systematic series of cold-blooded executions, mostlyconducted in various locations in the Tikrit area, almost certainly amounts to war crimes," she said. Her comments came after a Twitter account sympathetic to the ISIL posted pictures apparently showing their fighters killing captured Shia soldiers. Masked fighters are shown loading the captives on trucks before forcing them to lie face-down in a shallow ditch with their arms tied behind their backs. The final pictures show bodies soaked in blood after being shot. A caption on one of the pictures suggested that the victims - believed to be security personnel - were punished for fighting Sunnis. The Twitter account where the pictures were posted was suspended hours later. In a separate post on Youtube, fighters are seen goading captives in Iraqi army uniform to say that the ISIL will live forever, before one of the captives is shot in the head. The ISIL and associated Sunni rebel forces have taken control of large territories in Iraq in the last week, plunging the country into crisis and increasingly splitting communities along sectarian lines Who are the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant? A diplomatic source in Baghdad told Al Jazeera that the pictures were authentic but the number of soldiers executed could not be verified. Qassim al-Moussawi, Iraq's cheif military spokesman, said the photos were authentic and said he was aware of cases of mass murder of captured Iraqi soldiers in areas held by ISIL. He told the AP news agency that an examination of the images showed that about 170 soldiers were killed. Captions on the photos showing the soldiers after they were shot say "hundreds have been liquidated". Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary general, called the attack "deeply disturbing", and called on Iraqi leaders to ensure their followers avoided acts of reprisal.Source: Al Jazeera and agencies

Paul Flynn, the Labour backbencher and campaigner for the legalisation of cannabis, said that the Prime Minister should end the 'tragic farce' of present cannabis legislation.
He was speaking after the Prime Minister, pressed on Radio 4's Today programme, declared: 'There is a debate about whether you decriminalise cannabis or legalise it, and I am against it.'
He ruled out establishing a Royal Commission to examine the issue. 'There is a policy that I happened to believe in,' he said. 'I'm not sticking to it doggedly, obstinately for the sake of it. I don't think it is a very sensible thing to send out a signal that you now want to legalise drugs.'
The comments were made in the face of increasing evidence that cannabis use is widespread. On Friday Yvette Cooper, a health Minister, admitted she had tried cannabis at university.
Yesterday it was also reported that the Chief Constable of Cumbria Police, Colin Price, said he would turn a blind eye if he saw anyone taking the drug at a party: 'I wouldn't say anything and I wouldn't do anything at all.'
Price predicted that legalisation of cannabis was becoming virtually inevitable, and that police time was being wasted in dealing with soft drugs.
Flynn said that the everyday nature of taking the drug revealed how ridiculous it was for it to be an offence. 'One Chief Constable says he would not arrest someone for using cannabis recreationally, while desperately sick people are being dragged through the courts for using cannabis medically,' Flynn said.
'The debate about decriminalisation erupted after Ann Widdecombe, the Shadow Home Secretary, called for spot fines of £100 for anyone caught smoking cannabis as part of a zero policy on drugs.
Seven members of her party later admitted smoking cannabis, throwing the policy into chaos.

MATLAB Newsgroup
I'd like to optimize some parameters x that describe a kinematic model. For
this I'm using Optimization Toolbox with Matlab.
I have 10 sets of measurement data describing a position P. Now I want to
optimize my parameters x, so that
P = f(x) or for matlab 0 = f(x) - P
What is the best (in terms of numerically successful) way to do this? At the
moment, I create an array of functions f1..f10 in my optimization function
f to use all the measurment data. So my optimization function becomes:
0 = f(x1) - P1
0 = f(x2) - P2
0 = f(x10) - P10
0 = f_all(x) - P_all
I think it's not the best way. How can I use different measurment data
points for a optimization function in the way I described it?

I do not understand your question well. Perhaps, it is the reason why nobody answered it yet.
I guess that you have a problem:
f(x,c) = y, where
x is a vector of independent variables,
y is a vector of dependent function values,
c is a vector of unknown parameters and f() is a (non)linear function of x.
If it is your problem to solve, you have to create a function, say 'resid.m', which will evaluate residuals of the above written equation:
function res =resid(c)
global x y
res = "f(x,c)" - y; % where "f(x,c)" should be replaced by a code for your function
Global variables x and y might be transfered to the function also by another way (see documentation).
Having no Optimization Toolbox, I would use my function LMFnlsq (FEX Id 17534):
[c,ssq,cnt] = LMFnlsq('resid',c0)
c0 is your guess of possible solution of unknown coefficients c.
Should your function be linear in c, the solution would be much easier via pseudoinverse or by '\' operator.
Hope it helps.

The newsgroups are a worldwide forum that is open to everyone. Newsgroups are used to discuss a huge range of topics, make announcements, and trade files.
Discussions are threaded, or grouped in a way that allows you to read a posted message and all of its replies in chronological order. This makes it easy to follow the thread of the conversation, and to see what's already been said before you post your own reply or make a new posting.
Newsgroup content is distributed by servers hosted by various organizations on the Internet. Messages are exchanged and managed using open-standard protocols. No single entity "owns" the newsgroups.
There are thousands of newsgroups, each addressing a single topic or area of interest. The MATLAB Central Newsreader posts and displays messages in the comp.soft-sys.matlab newsgroup.
MATLAB Central
You can use the integrated newsreader at the MATLAB Central website to read and post messages in this newsgroup. MATLAB Central is hosted by MathWorks.

The BSL (Basic Standard Library) package group contains various packages that provide platform-specific classes, meta-functions, defensive programming mechanisms, a framework for component testing, memory allocation protocols and algorithms, and a C++ standard library implementation.
The standard library implementation in BSL is where the BDE allocator model and defensive programming techniques were developed, tested and improved until they became part of Bloomberg's production systems. As these techniques and designs move towards inclusion in future C++ standards, the implementations in BSL will be modified to conform to the versions adopted by the standards committee.
Note that the C++ standard library is implemented in the bsl namespace instead of the standard std namespace. This allow users to utilize both the native (toolchain provided) C++ standard library and the BDE provided C++ standard library in the same translation unit.
The BSL package group contains a number of packages, covering a wide range of functionality. They include:
- bslalg provides a variety of lower-level algorithms, comparisons, and traits.
- bsldoc documents key terminology and concepts used throughout BDE documentation. Note that the components in this package consist entirely of comments, no code.
- bslim provides implementation mechanisms for features that must have identical syntax and semantics in many disparate classes.
- bslma provides memory allocation and related proctor and handle objects.
- bslmf provides low-level "meta-functions" implementing "traits" and other useful properties of types, determined at compile-time.
- bsls provides the needed platform-independent definitions and utilities (with platform-specific implementations) so that the rest of the bsl library, and all conforming applications within the Development Framework, can be written in a truly portable, platform-neutral dialect of C++ — one having dependency on bsls, but on no other system-specific services. Among the issues dealt with in bsls are hardware, operating system, and compiler definitions, "endian-ness" and alignment of type representation in physical memory, bit-manipulation utilities, and a uniform interface to system services (e.g., timers).
- bslscm is a special source control management package containing only two components, bslscm_version and bslscm_versiontag. The first of these components is included by every other component in bsl, and provides versioning information for the package group. Users may use the bslscm_version facilities to query a particular bsl library for its version information. The second component defines macros that can be used for conditional-compilation based on bsl version information.
- bslstl provides an implementation of certain containers of the C++ standard library using the bslma memory allocation model, algorithms and traits in bslalg and meta-functions in bslmf.
- bsltf provides a set test types and utilities that operates on those types, which can help simplify, particularly for template, the implementation of test drivers.
Source Code
BSL is developed as part of the larger BDE distribution, and its source code is located in the BDE repository on GitHub.
Comprehensive component- and class-level documentation for BSL can be found here.

It is difficult to describe myself. I think I am tender, reliable, honest (evenif the true is not good), a bit modest,... sociable and love communicating. I am frank and natural, candid. May be a bit perseving,... creative - I mean I like jokes - not that offend people, but merry ons. I am sensual. I am curiose and love new things. I am intense and passionate!
My man is probably a good talker and a good listener, active and energetic, understanding and forgiving, patient and tolerant. He likes hugs and kisses and all kinds of showing affection to me and expecting the same from me! Somebody who I can always rely on and know that we're a team-those people who can support and care about each other no matter what! Has his own self-respect, self-confidence, his own interests apart from mine. Has a life with me and yet a life of his own.

Hosted in a really old traveller's inn dating to the 16th or 17th century, the place certainly has character. The lady running the place was very friendly and took care of any queries you had. There weren't too many guests apart from a massive group of school kids that affected the atmosphere but everything else was more than adequate.

Banana Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
Recipe by LoLosHouse
Yummy banana chocolate chip cookies with added fiber from oatmeal and whole wheat flour. I reduced the fat and sugars using applesauce and Splenda!
Top Review by JDeMarois
These are awesome! Made as written, using SmartBalance for the margarine. Delicious, soft and easy cookies. The wheat flour was a nice alternative to white flour and the Splenda and applesauce for regular sugar, came out with great flavor from the banana too. They do not spread out when baking so okay to place them close together on the cookie sheet. I didn't have to adjust cooking time/temp or any ingredients. Mine may have been smaller but this made about 40 cookies for me. Will be making these again soon! Thanks for the recipe.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
It has been about 10 months since all matters except one was settled in an estate. That matter is that a relative of the PR has to raise some money to pay the estate to keep something in her name. The PR gives no reasons for the extension of time request to the court on the document for extension of time. He has just requested another one, the same story, no reason. Does the court have some limits to the number of extension requests without a cause stated? How can I get this confronted without expense to me and of course, hard feelings among family?
There are no hard-and-fast rules as to how long an estate can remain open. In Broward County, where I practice, the judges generally stamp the Letters of Administration with an order that the estate must be closed within a year (unless the estate requires a federal estate tax return be filed, then it's two years). Motions to extend the time to close an estate are generally granted. If you have an interest in the estate you can file an objection to the motion for extension and tell the judge why you are objecting. Interactions with family members that involve judges and courthouses generally lead to hard feelings.

The prior attorney offers sound advice. 10 months is really not a long time for an estate administration and the risk of family conflict should definitely be weighed in the balance here. A little more patience may yield better family relations.
Hope this helps.

Your question raises many issue. The most important seems to be your focus on family harmony. Unfortunately, other than asking nicely to the PR, there is not much you can do if you are concerned with the way your family will respond. The only thing you really can do is to file an objection to the the PR's actions with the court.
The PR is breaching their duty, but you have to weigh you options. While 10 months may seem like a long time, it really isnt in the probate process. You have to decide how long you are will to put up with this for family harmony purposes.
Regardless, you may want to consult an attorney in the county where the probate is being conducted. You may find an attorney willing to give you half hour of their time.

Jean Piaget
1896 - 1980
Jean Piaget was a psychologist that started studying cognitive psychology in the 1920s. One of his greatest achievements was that he discovered that children are just as competent as adults but they think in very different ways. During his experiments, her discovered four stages of development. These stages are called Schema. Jean was surprised by the strong positive support he got from the public about his findings. He was important to psychology because before his studies, everyone thought that children were not as competent as adults.

Paulo Autuori arrives on Tuesday to negotiate Zamalek job
Brazilian manager Paulo Autuori has informed Egyptian Premier League giants Zamalek about...
Ismaily coach Ahmed Hossam 'Mido' recent comments on Zamalek's new coach contradicted all recent reports, as he thinks an Egyptian will be leading the White Knights and not a foreign coach.
Zamalek's board are still looking for a new manager for the team, since Jesualdo Ferreira left and was officially announced as the new manager for Qatari club Al-Sadd. However, the board confirmed that the next coach will not be Egyptian.
"I feel Zamalek's administration will not appoint a foreign manager, there is a big chance that they will appoint an Egyptian manager," 'Mido' said to Al Hayat 2 TV channel.
The young coach recently revealed that he was contacted by Mortada Mansour, but 'Mido' informed him that he can not leave Ismaily.
"The board will resort to the current technical staff which includes Tarek Mostafa and Samy El-Shishiny and Medhat Abdel-Hady, in addition to more technical authorities for Ismael Youssef," he explained.
El-Shishiny and Mostafa were announced as Zamalek's new interim coaches right after Ferreira's departure.
"I wish Zamalek's board good luck and a quick decision before the league starts again," he added. "The new manager's mission won't be easy, as he will be compared to Ferreira. However, Zamalek's players are special and they are eager to achieve more championships, which makes it easy for any new coach."
Recently, Marcos Paquetá said that he received a serious offer from The White Knights. Also, Ahmed Mortada, admitted that the agent of Dutch coach Martin Jol has given a preliminary agreement to coach Zamalek.

|Tailor Smurf
|Voice Actor
|Kip King (Cartoon Show)
Randy Powell (2011 Movie)
|First Appearance
|Season 2
|Comic Books
Cartoon Show
CGI Movie
|Name Translation of Tailor Smurf
|Schtroumpf Tailleur
|Pitufo Sastre
|Zwirni Schlumpf
|Puffo Sarto
Tailor (original French name Schtroumpf Tailleur) is one of the main characters of the Smurfs cartoon show, who has appeared on the show from Season 2 up until around Season 8.
He is the village's chief clothes maker who makes and repairs all the clothes that the Smurfs wear. He is usually identified by the pins that he wears in his Smurf hat and by a tape measure that he drapes around his neck.
Role in the Village
Tailor has one of the important jobs in the village. He's the one who makes the clothes for all the Smurfs. He's also one of the busiest because he has to make new clothes for Smurfs like Baby Smurf and Smurfette. He is always seen working on something and rarely has time to do other favors. As a sort of running gag, Tailor tends to see ordinary white Smurf clothes as "very distinguished" and creates new lines of clothes that don't look anything different from what the Smurfs normally wear, though he and most of the Smurfs tend to treat them as though they are actually different. The Smurflings, when they first appeared, eventually took Tailor to task about his view of Smurf clothes and developed their own personal style. This change in style also affected some of the Smurfs such as Handy Smurf, who in later years of the comic book series would wear blue bib overalls, and Farmer Smurf, who would wear green overalls and a straw hat. In the comic books, Tailor tried Wild Smurf out with wearing ordinary white Smurf clothes, but after seeing how uncomfortable they made him feel after wearing them, Tailor made a loincloth for Wild Smurf that suited him just fine.
Tailor has no known "Best Smurf Friend", but he is well-respected. He is willing to help out at times, like when he helped Hefty Smurf with his "Smurfette Disguise" in Smurfette for a Day, but since he's busy measuring others for new clothes, he will turn them down at times.
Tailor shows sympathy for Smurfette, like when he made her a new dress because she wanted one earlier and he couldn't stand seeing her so sad (She turns down the dress though, in favor of a new one she got from a disguised Gargamel).
Tailor was, at first, irritated with the Smurflings because they ended up choosing different clothes, instead of dressing like the adult Smurfs, but he warms up to them.
In the movie
Tailor has a short in-universe appearance in the 2011 Smurfs movie during the end credits when he stitches up a copy of the green M&M plush toy that Grouchy Smurf has fallen in love with.
- Tailor's accent is supposed to be a reference to immigrants that came to America and worked as tailors for a living.
- His character was voiced by Kip King.
- Although he is sometimes seen measuring other Smurfs, they never seem to grow.

The topic came up among some friends and I, and I was curious at what the GAG community had to share.
Most Helpful Girl
I will tell you about all my lovers cause I'm bored...
first, he was my best friend's boyfriend's cousin, we met hanging out as a group, listening to music on a giant mountain/rock... we both like "tech 9" ... the rest is history. lol
broke up
then, I met this guy through another best friend, he was actually her ex! we were all hanging out drinking play truth or dare, that was the first time I hung out with him that one took a long time til we finally got things going... obviously I felt weird about him being my friend's ex but she assured me it was ok...
it lasted over year (longest relationship for me)
broke up
then I met a guy from my work, first time we met I thought he was just another customer but later I went to a party with coworkers, he was there and they said he was going to start working with us. hahaha that party got crazy, lasted til the early morning, we ended up cuddling on the couch, eating oatmeal together, drunk. haha
broke up 3 long years pasted without dating... became a boring recluse... got horny one night, so I posted on reddit saying I wanted to meet a guy to Skype with and have some "fun" I met a couple boring guys, was ready to sign off but responded to one more guy, he actually wanted to talk before any sexual stuff, he was just really sweet, genuine and caring. this was a few weeks ago and currently we talk /skype everyday and it's not even sexual just getting to know each other, we are not officially dating but I am considering flying to Europe where he lives... very crazy, I have never done anything like this before... but I'm not one for being normal...10|10|0
wow I'm surprised, so many online romances, this is my first... it's one of the best and most fun so far, I don't know why I put off trying it for so long.. I would try for short times here and there, but would get bored.. this current guy just really clicks with me..
Crazzyyyy! Sounds like me : "Ended up cuddling on the couch, eating oatmeal together, drunk". LOL.
I have a good friend who just came back from Texas (we both reside in California) to see this guy she was talking to for a while, but has never actually seen him in person. I made sure she would let me know where she was staying, his address, and to keep me updated because I would be flying out there on the next plane to departure out of LA to save her in case things didn't go out planned. Things didn't go planned, and I ended up getting on the next plane leaving LA to Texas at 2am to save her ass.
If you do decide to fly to Europe to meet this guy, make sure someone RELIABLE knows where you are going to be at all times, in case it all doesn't turn out to be. Good luck! Awesome story!

The Faint Neighing
Story by Chelle Praska Photos by Owen Ellingson
Just before dust I went on a walk down the curvy path in the middle of the woods. The sun was just about to go down, making it a beautiful night. There were the sounds of birds chirping, and the rustle of small animals scurrying around.
All of a sudden I hear a faint neighing in the distance. I became very nervous, but I kept walking. I looked down and saw this imprint in the ground. I knew that I was getting closer. The neighing kept getting stronger the closer I got.
since it was getting darker in the woods that it would be best to go to the meadow. Plus I really wanted to find that horse. Sure enough the horse was there in the meadow. But he was stuck. His foot was caught in an old fence. I ran over there as fast as I could to help get him out. It wasn't easy but I finally got his leg unstuck. He ran away the second he was freed.
The meadow was fairly large and the horse ran very quickly away. As I looked around the meadow I realized there wasn't any houses around. Who's horse could this be? I had to find the horse and bring it to the owner. This may be impossible but I was determined to at least tell someone about the horse. So I kept walking.
I kept walking, until I found a river. There was a dock! There had to be somebody that lived around here! I walked downstream until I came across a Ranch. It was a horse Ranch! I ran up to the house as fast as I could and sure enough the Rancher was outside gathering the horses up because the gate had been broken. I asked him about the brown horse I saw earlier in the day. He confirmed that he was missing one of his horses. I told him which direction I found it. He thanked me and we went on our separate ways. I somehow managed to find my way back to my house right before the sun was completely down.
Next thing I remember was jumping out of my bed walking up from that crazy horse dream.

Has anyone played Ichigeki Sacchuu!! HoiHoi-San?
I recently purchased the game and am waiting for it to be shipped over from Hong-Kong (it hopefully be here in a week or so ^^), but I was wondering, has anyone tried playing it yet, and if so, whats your impressions?
Btw, this game is obscenely cute ^^
And the official website is here if anyone wants to check it out.
I like the game very much. It's a bit short though but you can always go back and try out clearing the stages using different weapons or besting your own records. If you don't care about perfecting the game, you can finish the game in about 10 hours or so.
And...It's CUTE!
i cant wait for it to come in ^^
I was going to buy the limited edition one, but the stores i checked out where all sold out :'(, ah well, ill be content with my normal version ^^

Melodic Rendezvous has been given a clean bill of health after his Kingwell Hurdle victory
Melodic Rendezvous has been given a clean bill of health after his narrow victory in the Kingwell Hurdle at Wincanton.
Last Updated: 16/02/14 5:04pm

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
His son is 9 years old and he lives with his mother. I am married to another woman and I have a son with her. The mother of my 9 year old took me for child support and now I cant support my family and she keeps asking for more money when I dont have it. She is currnetly married to someone else who my 9 year old calls dad. Am I able to terminate my rights to my 9 year old in order to better take care of my family because I am the only one working and bringing home less than a $1000 a month home and the mother of my 9 year old is married and they both work? She has two incomes for our son and my youngest son has only one income and we can even get on welfare to get him health insurance. Please let me know what I am able to do.
This is two seperate issues. The support would only be able to be terminated by the Mother filing a a request a Domestic Relations to withdrawl the child support and any back arrears. She would have to agree to do that on her part. As for the termination, the Mother would also have to agree to do that a well by asking you to terminate your rights as the biological father so that her current husband could adopt her son. But that is something she and her husband would want to do on their part as this is a huge step and undertaking for the step-father. Plus, this would mean you would be ceasing all ties to your son by terminating your rights as his father. This is a lot to think about and consider.Ask a similar question
The two separate issues you raise need to be dealt with in different manners, For the child support, you can seek a modification based on your limited income. Pennsylvania offers relief while still requiring responsibility. You may benefit by speaking with a family law attorney. As to terminating your rights, Pennsylvania law does not favor making orphans. If the mother's current husband wants to adopt your son, then you can consent to termination. However your relationship will be surrendered - this is a drastic move that requires your own internal evaluation.
Please know that the information I provide is general in nature as we do not have an attorney-client relationship, and thus do not have all the background information which would normally help me give a specific answer. However, if this answer has been helpful to you, please consider rating it with a "thumbs up". I wish you the best outcome with your situation!Ask a similar question

Great fun but watch these Tips!: Carnival Sunshine Cruise Review by Skyenne
Overall Member Rating
Great fun but watch these Tips!
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Barcelona
Tip1-use guest services desk on advice on how to do your excursion at the easy ports. Tip2-do use the sail and sign kiosk or guest services to keep up with your spending everyday, or watch for mistaken charges, and can contest some charges. Tip3-watch out for sales people everywhere, including selling pictures of you and pictures of Mona Lisa! Tip4-The drinks are pretty pricey so we bought a bottle of vodka and soft drinks at the duty free stores located at the building where we boarded. You are allowed to bring a certain amount. We took drinks with us on deck, to the shows, roving around, sunning, etc. That we made in the room! Ice was left for us after they cleaned the room and when they turned down your bed. If you run out, use room service to get more booze and soft drinks. Pricey, not fancy, but very much cheaper than the bars!
Tip5-the food and shows are More average. We did not take Carnival for the exclusive treatment on the ship, but fun and adventure. Tip6-for the complicated port use a tour group like Can't Be Missed (CBM) you can arrange on-line, but the ship excursions are pretty pricey! Tip6- Yes, there are Serenity areas on board for adults only. Nice!! We enjoyed watching a Movie from the big screen outdoors. Tip7-Wi-fi is pretty pricey on board. We bought international data and international calling minutes. The calls or texts we could make at port using the country code. Surfing the net is a No! And keep up with you ISP to make sure your not way over. With these Lessons, we plan on going on another cries with this line, but keep the costs down while having a good time and good excursions! Less

Most folks might not know it, but Kevin Jepsen was arguably the most valuable reliever for the Los Angeles Angels in 2012.
Considering that he was neither the closer (Ernesto Frieri/Scott Downs shared that role) nor the primary set-up man, that seems like that stretch. But with a 3.02/1.14 ERA/WHIP, 3.17 K/BB (better than both Downs and Frieri) and a .238 BAA, Jepsen bounced back from what can only be called a disastrous year in 2011 to once again becoming a regular late-game fixture for the Angels.
Recently avoiding arbitration with the team by signing a one-year, $1.18 dollar deal, the righty will be looking to build on the success he had, and potentially parlay his experience as one of the Angels' most experienced and longest-tenured reliever into an expanded role in 2013.
He'll have some serious competition, as the new-look Halos bullpen saw the departure of former closer Jordan Walden, but added Sean Burnett and Ryan Madson in return. On paper, that should give the Angels a 1/1A combo at the ninth inning spot, with Frieri and Downs both setting up; but, as we all know by now, major league bullpens are considered the most volatile part of the team, and the Angels' plans could very easily deviate from their plans on paper.
Yes, Madson was a brilliant set-up man with the Philadelphia Phillies before he was a dynamic closer, but how he'll bounce back from Tommy John surgery at age-32 remains to be seen. Ideally, he'll bounce back the way that Joe Nathan did for the Texas Rangers, but his role as the Angels' ninth-inning man is far from guaranteed, considering that he's on a one-year make-good deal.
One of his primary backups, Burnett, had been successful as a set-up man over the last few years, but a .700 OBSA against righties (compared to .506 against lefties) likely means he's better off as a LHP specialist. If anything, Frieri, who was brilliant in Los Angeles in 2012, is more likely to be the closer should Madson fail to regain his form.
Where Jepsen could eventually come in isn't in the ninth inning (although he has a bit of experience there), but in the innings prior as the team's primary set-up man.
That's a role that had been reserved for the Downs, but the lefty has shown a regression in his control (three-year decline in K/BB), while Jepsen put up a career-high 3.17 K/BB last season. Add to the fact that he's throwing harder than ever (fastball averaging 96.6 mph), and there are signs that point to the 28-year-old finally establishing himself as one of the bullpen's best relievers in 2013 along with Frieri.
At 0.6 fWAR (tied with Frieri), Jepsen was already the most valuable member of the Angels bullpen in 2012. In 2013, he'll look to build on that and be recognized as such.

3 Unconventional Ideas to Ready Your Garden for Spring
Gardening is no longer limited to villages anymore. Unconventional urban gardens are popping up everywhere, in terraces, in backyards, in a corner of the lawn – you name it and there is a dainty little garden waiting to amaze you. So pretty are these cute little gardens that the moment you lay eyes on them, you feel like designing one for yourself. Getting a beautiful garden is a series of different tasks and it all begins with getting the right kind of outdoor pots and planters. Big ones are absolutely fine, but ask yourself, do you need big planters? Perhaps small ones will be better suited for your needs here, so how do you find really cute garden planters and pots?
There are two ways to do that. Either invest money and choose from designer flower pots that are easily available in the market (online/offline) or try being innovative. You don't need a lot of inspiration to pick a product, but you sure do if you want to make your very own personalized outdoor pots and planters. Here are some that we gathered and thought would be wonderful to share with you.
- Cage in a pot
There may be cages and big drums lying around your home and you can simply gather and covert into some very pretty garden planters. Do you know how to make a tomato cage? It's easy, look up the internet and you will find more than enough ideas and resources to design a cage. Or simply buy one online. Once that's done, put that in your drum and you are done. Perfect for shrubs and climbers that need support, this setup is sturdy enough to last longer than one spring. You get more than spring time freshness; you are ensuring a steady supply of fresh vegetables.
- Rose buds in a boot
Got a lot of old shoes lying around? Did you know you can get them to use instead of throwing them out? Leather shoes are not harmful in anyway so get rid of your misgivings and begin creatively reusing your old shoes for a rose garden. Pour in nice quality compost in your old shoes and then plant in your bud! Keep watering it and in time the bud will sprout into a pretty rose bush. If it grows too big for the shoe, get it transferred to Designer flower pots.
- Spices in coconut shells
Spring time is great to indulge in culinary adventures, try out things that you have been procrastinating since winter. Try out something spicy, and get fresh spices from your kitchen garden. Gather a handful of coconut shells, put in compost and soil in equal amounts and plant in coriander seeds, water it and by the end of a week (or possibly earlier) you will have your own coriander to use!
You can always use outdoor pots and planters to move your entire spice garden outdoors.
Putting in the efforts to grow your very own veggies can be a rewarding experience. All you need is some creativity, or if you are feeling lazy - Designer flower pots! Read more on how get your garden started.

factory recommendation question
I have a question so I am dipping back in the information well.
The kimber book I got with my gun is telling me that I need to change my recoil spring after every 800 rounds. Are they for real?
firing pin spring every 5000.
and mainspring every 5000.
All recommendations and comments please. I understand 5000 but every 800 seems a little WTF. Am I wrong???
If it's a sort barreled model - yup - they eat recoil springs very fast. Think about it, you have a lot less slide travel to absorb the recoil and operate the action than you do in a 5" gun. The springs take a pounding to be sure...
I ran my till it started acting up. Somewhere between 1000 and 1400 rounds. It wasn't acting up bad but I could sure see a difference when I changed the recoil spring. I changed my wifes at 800 as recommended though.
is it hard to do?
and is it pricey?
I agree with NGIB, if you have a short barreled model, you definitely need to change them more often, but 800 seems low to me personally unless you have been shooting a heavy diet of +P
I had a full sized Kimber 5" and put a one size upgraded spring in it per Kimber's specs ( I can't recall the weight but Goju can tell you :p ) right out of the box to accommodate for the +P ammo I wanted to shoot and carry. This was after a phone call to Kimber about running +P ammo and I bought it from them at probably twice what I could have got it from off the internet but it was my first 1911. :rolleyes:
I changed that spring out once around 2000 rounds out of paranoia, but I never noticed a decrease or any type of failure with the weapon.
As with any weapon, it's good to check out all the moving parts and "know" your weapon. What is the weight of the spring now? Shoot 500 rounds, pull the spring and see how much weight it takes to collapse it. If it's less than before, think about changing it, if it hasn't shown any wear, repeat at 1,000. :D
A 5" gun won't eat springs anywhere near as fast as the little (3"-3.5") ones. I probably change the springs on my full-size guns at 2500-3000 rounds or so and I use slightly heavier than stock variable Wolff springs in mine...
thanks guys, its good to have people in the know.
I think it has a capture system because I have to use a paper clip tool to break it down. The spring is 22lbs. and Im a little worried that once I get it apart I wont be able to get it back together. I will get a few replacements on the safe side. any other parts I might want spairs for?
Its a 4 inch barrel. if that helps.
