I perceive that you will probably need to spawn a child process for each device and to use a message queue. The real difficulty is going to be how to describe the state-machine type logic that must be performed by the main process that is controlling the tests. I vaguely remember encountering such a testing framework – I no longer remember what its name is or was – but it was built using XML, vaguely like what ColdFusion does.
The test file consisted of an arbitrary number of test-nodes, one being designated as the initial-state. Each one had "preconditions," "actions," and "effects." They could be "singleton," or "parallel." The test-runner used this information to decide what to tell its slaves to do next. I recall that while the framework worked, it was .. difficult .. to program tests for it . . .
Thinking a little bit more about this, I do believe that it is the right approach to have n processes, one per SSH2 connection, who are basically "proxies" for that connection and who are directly responsible for (a) knowing what that host is or isn't doing at this time, and (b) telling the host to do whatever-it-is and to correctly report that host's new status. They are, effectively, "supervisors" for each host, and the first line of defense in dealing with hiccups. Then, the remaining process-of-significance (probably, the last remaining child of the parent) is the test-runner process itself, which acts by sending and receiving messages via IPC queues to each host-supervisor.

Grimm's intertwining of centuries-old history and lore with the present fascinates Grimmsters every week. A significant aspect of this combination is the use of weaponry dating from the first century to up to the twentieth. Grimms have vanquished Wesen worldwide with these specialized instruments of destruction, and we've seen Nick Burkhardt wield several on the astronomical Portland Wesen population. Though you may be familiar with a few, a quick guide to some of these weapons is a necessity for any card-carrying Grimmster.
Nick used a kanabo to fight four Hundagers who were also known members of the Verrat. The kanabo originated in feudal Japan as a weapon of the samurai. This spiked club or truncheon is useful when a gun just won't do.
The Chinese whip, also known as a cat o' nine tails, is a flail Löwen use. It appeared in the episode "Last Grimm Standing." Similar to this is the wushu chain whip; one of eighteen arms used in Chinese martial arts. These weapons can both be found in Nick's collection.
A morning star consists of a shaft with a large metal ball with spikes or blades on top. This weapon was developed at some time in the medieval period and was used by both foot soldiers and horsemen. A mace is often confused with the morning star, but a mace is an ancient weapon consisting of a spiked ball-and-chain. Maces are used in the underground Wesen fight clubs.
In the "Bad Teeth" episode a castration blade was the tool of choice for unmanning the Rotznasig Carcaju. The name of this weapon says it all.
The purpose of the ceremonial bear claw is to disembowel. Traditionally, it's an ancient Jägerbar weapon more than a thousand years old. Aunt Marie's book explains that this weapon is a rare Germanic find, dating back to 900 A.D. Its carved bear head and claw-like scoop is used as part of Roh-hatz, a celebration in which young Jägerbar boys become men. Nick has one as well, in the trailer's weapons cabinet.
Nick's dopplearmbrust is a double-decker crossbow used specifically for hunting Wesen. The dopplearmbrust was first designed for Blutbaden. The first bolt is filled with hellebore extract, used as a tranquilizer. The second bolt holds hemlock, a precaution should the first bolt not be effective.
A siegbarste gemehr, commonly known as an elephant gun, is a large, triple barrel rifle Grimms use to kill Siegbarstes. These creatures are ogre-like and have a high tolerance for pain, but the giant bullets of the gemehr are coated with a special Siegbarste poison that can kill them with one shot.
In Grimm we never know what to expect, but I imagine that the future will include the introduction of many additional archaic or rare weapons to intrigue the show's modern viewers. As Nick and his adversaries continue their centuries-long battle, Grimmsters relish the unique details of the series. Which weapons Nick will use to fight the zombies in the season finale on Tuesday is anybody's guess.

Date: June 03, 2009 6:10 pm Title: Epilogue
*sighs* I think I love you. WHAT AN AMAZING STORY!!!! As usual, of course. =)
Sorry I've been away. RL is crazy. Now I'm working on catching up with everything I've missed. Wish me luck. But meanwhile, that lead me to this story, and the rest of the 'verse, which I am SO looking forward to. Awesome story! It's got every element of a good fic; friendship, other ship, humor, and of course whumpage of the worst kind. Can't forget that. =)
On to the next story in the 'verse!
Date: June 01, 2009 5:48 am Title: Epilogue
Goodbye, Dean and Shawn and Juliet and little mention of Sam.
Goodbye, sleep induced by drugs.
Goodbye, puppy dog expression #325.
Goodnight, idiot hot guy with giant guilt complex.
Date: June 01, 2009 3:11 am Title: Epilogue
AAAAAAAA. *sprawls* I've been watching this story and waiting to see it complete before I read , and man. SO worth the wait. I love these three together, AND there's awesome Shawn whump AND there's moments of really lovely insight into Dean. MMmm, that's good crossover.
Date: May 31, 2009 2:17 pm Title: Epilogue
Great story. I thought you did a good job of writing the characters from both series. Looking forward to your next piece.
Date: May 31, 2009 1:48 pm Title: Epilogue
Nice! I'm sad to see that it's over, but it was a good ending.
...but this epic you're talking writing about sounds, well, epic. I vote for that! Or, you know, anything the bunnies inflict upon you. Hopefully soon. The sooner the better. :-)
Date: May 30, 2009 10:27 pm Title: Chapter 10
Whoo! Fantastic! Am anxiously awaiting epilogue, so that I may here the fat lady sing! And so that you can focus on more stories! More! But mainly so I can here singing...
Anyway! You make it pretty clear in the story that Dean is just flirting because that's what he does and to annoy Shawn, so I wouldn't worry too much about it being misinterpreted. It was completely in character, not just for Dean, but for Shawn and even Jules' reaction to it.
And did I already mention that I LOVE MaliciouslyEvil!Shawn? Because I really, really do.
And I'm totally stoked for the first mixing of Jules into this 'verse! So very stoked.
Excellent job, as usual! I shall be awaiting more!
Date: May 29, 2009 8:35 pm Title: Chapter 10
This has been an awesome story! I love your Psych/Spn crossovers.
You wrote the Dean/Jules kiss really well. It totally comes across as 'just to annoy Shawn'.
I'm looking forward to the epilogue Saturday. Not because the story is over, but because I look forward to all of you stuff. Even the endings. Um... I feel like I'm digging myself a hole... anyway... can't wait to see what's next!
Author's Response:
Well that's good. I was really wary of putting it in at all for fear of sparking anti-Jules campaigns. But I didn't want to cut it because annoying Shawn is JUST SO FUN. :D
LAWLZ It's okay. I understand. And hopefully the next story won't be so far off. *crosses fingers*
Thanks for the AWESOME review! :D
Date: May 28, 2009 10:04 pm Title: Chapter 10
Oh good!!! If you had done a Jules/Dean thing.. I would have made a strike!!! I just love Shules ;). I do want to see the first meeting btw Jules and Dean.. and Sam... :D hugs!!!!
Thanks for this amazing chapter.. is so cute to imagine Dean suffering in the plane :D
Author's Response:
Yeah, I do love both Dean and Jules, but unless Shawn dies or the story takes place in, like, Miami or something, Dean has NO hope of ever getting Jules.
Jules' official introduction into this 'verse is coming up in the not too distant future I hope. It's really close on the story list. We'll just have to see how that works out in writing-time.
LOL Dean suffering is awesome, isn't it? Man, and how awful are we for wanting that? *headdesk*
Oh well. Tis the life of a fangirl. :D
Thanks for the AWESOME review! :D
Date: May 28, 2009 8:52 pm Title: Chapter 10
I have to admit, I'm relieved that there isn't Dean/Juliet shipping going on here. I can deal with it as long as it's clear he's just doing it to be annoying, and she isn't helping him at all. Does that make me a little pathetic? I think it might.
However, speaking of things pathetic, this story is NOT one of them. I know I'm slipping in and out of lurkerdom, but I have been keeping a relatively close eye on this one because it's Good Times.
I'm definitely looking forward to the epilogue on Saturday, and hopefully the next story in this 'verse will be started soon? Pretty please? *makes puppy-dog eyes*
Author's Response:
Juliet will deal with Dean's flirting much the way she deals with Shawn's. Which is to say, refusing to give him the satisfaction of acknowledging how she feels about it as much as she possibly can.
I think they two of them make great friends and if I pushed it I could probably ship them, but I am in my heart a Shules shipper and if *they're* not hooking up then Dean doesn't have a chance in hell with her.
I understand the need to hide in lurkdom at times. I have been a horrible reader of Psych fic lately. I must correct it, but until RL stops kicking me in the ass, it will have to wait.
I am working on it but I think I'm going to have to take another vote from you guys at the end of the epilogue. I dunno. I'm still looking at my options. We'll see.
Thanks so much for your AWESOME review! :D
Date: May 26, 2009 5:11 pm Title: Chapter 9
Oh my god. I loved it. LOVE IT!!
Was fantastic. And hilarious. And had MaliciouslyEvil!Shawn, taunting Dean about the airplanes XD
And Sammy was amazing as well.
And...yayz! for Shawn laying the smackdown on Dean for feeling guilty! Bitch slap him into reality, oh yeah!
LOL, anyway, this was awesome, and I shall be back on Thursday to read the next one! Oh yes, most definitely...
Author's Response:
YAYZ! *yayhands*
Hee. Next chappie has even MORE MaliciouslyEvil!Shawn taunting Dean about the airplanes. It's just so FUN. And since such opportunities are rare at best, Shawn has to grab them every chance he can. :D
LAWLZ. Dean does need that slap every now and again when he steals Sam's emo spotlight.
Thanks so much for your AWESOME review! :D-M

need help in Faring
Everything is going wrong here.
Tom doesn't want Ali's amulet (he doesn't talk to me at all).
Wilson doesn't want to go Lurker hunting
I can't find Mitch at all to get the 2nd bottle of booze (I cheated to get more booze)
I cheated to get my rep over 100 and I still can't get past Mojok (I gave him 2 bottles of booze)
I can't get past Gnar. I sold him the 400g skin already.
What went wrong and what do I do
I guess these questions are too specific for most players after all these years.
Maybe you can find useful infos in the G3 maps & lists thread and the walkthrough at World of Gothic.
That's what I've been following but it all stopped working at Faring
The game manual clearly says that all what you do will have consequences and that you will have to live with it. This concerns murder and theft. In the latter case victim NPCs won't talk with you anymore. Don't steal from quest givers if the quest is still open.
So, I guess you can better go back to a previous save and play this part again.
Did you lie to Wilson when giving back the money from the Skin you sold to Gnar?
If so you are done there and need to find another way to get to Nordmar i.e :
There is one behind (North of) Vengard. You can go through the woods behind the 3 trolls,as you are in Faring, towards the east until you reach the cliffs above Vengard and then to the North. Its guarded by Ogres but you can creep/run by them easily. Another way would be to be Guided to another pass by the Nordmarian warrior that is a prisoner of the orcs in Silden (also will net you a +2 rep in Normar). Do not let go of Ali's Stone, you are going to need it in Nordmar for a quest line…
I went back to an earlier save and started over in Faring. I did all the Faring stuff and went to the Monastery. That started my other thread where nothing is working right in the Monastery

MANHATTAN — With a lack of size and depth among the post players, matchups take on a greater importance for Kansas State. It wasn't a good situation for the Wildcats against Kansas, but it was more favorable against Oklahoma State and Oklahoma.
West Virginia poses an interesting scenario with two forwards who stand 6-foot-9 and 6-10, but the Mountaineers are reliant on their perimeter game with a strong backcourt led by Juwan Staten. That may bode well for the Wildcats (13-4, 3-1 Big 12) when they face the Mountaineers (10-7, 2-2) at 12:30 p.m. Saturday at Bramlage Coliseum.
"They're not huge so that's a positive and they don't have too much depth at the big guys spot so that helps us a little bit," K-State coach Bruce Weber said. "We're always a little undermanned size-wise.
"The big guys are younger and not quite as experienced, but (Devin) Williams has gotten better. They have three very good guards. Staten can get by anybody."
K-State's three-man point guard rotation of Will Spradling, Jevon Thomas and Nigel Johnson has been effective defensively, and that will be important against Staten, who averages 17.4 points and 6.4 assists.
"That means he has the ball in his hands and he's making good decisions whether he's getting to the hoop or penetrating and kicking," Weber said. "We definitely have to do a good job on Staten, especially in transition. We just showed highlights and he was going by people 1-on-4 or 1-on-5 beating whole teams to the hoop, so that is going to be key.
"I think the big thing is awareness. Will is smart, but he's not a pressure guy. Nigel can pick up a little more and now you have Jevon who can give you a whole other element."
Spradling said the Wildcats take a team concept toward defense.
"We've done a great job defensively as a team helping each other out," Spradling said. "Obviously, we didn't do a good job of that against KU, but other than that we've done a great job of it.
"Everybody helps out. Whoever is guarding the inbounds guy has been helping so the point guard can't catch the ball, and that takes a lot of pressure off us when they can't get the ball. When they do get the ball we just try to make it hard for them. We have three points who can come in at any time and that makes it a lot easier."
Defending Staten from end to end is the key to slowing down the Mountaineers, who are coached by former K-State coach Bob Huggins.
"He really wants to get it out in transition and go," Spradling said. "He wants to get to the basket. He's not a great 3-point shooter, but he has a really nice pull-up. We have to pressure him full-court and once he gets half-court just try to contain him."
WILDCAT WOMEN RETURN HOME — The K-State women play three of their next four games in Bramlage, beginning with No. 13 Iowa State at 7 p.m. Saturday in the annual "Pack the House" game with all tickets and select concessions priced at $1.
The Wildcats (7-9, 1-4 Big 12) are coming off a 72-65 road win over Texas Tech behind a 21-point game from freshman guard Leticia Romero. The Cyclones (14-2, 3-2) dropped their last game to West Virginia, 73-59.
Tipoff: 12:30 p.m. Saturday, Bramlage Coliseum, Manhattan
Line: TBA

BlackRock Philosophy
"One of the weaknesses in the old-fashioned model was the fact that with five or 10 minutes to go you share information about size and price with somebody else in the market," Rodosky said. "And from time to time that information would be used to somebody else's advantage because they would know that people were eager to buy or that nobody was eager to buy."
Pimco still places most of its auction orders through dealers because they're better set up than the direct-bidding system to handle bids for funds with multiple accounts and custodians, Rodosky said. If that technical issue could be resolved, Pimco would use the system more, he said.
BlackRock, by contrast, doesn't bid directly because it wants to reward primary dealers for their research and other trading help, according to Prager.
"While we can go direct, most of the time we don't," Prager said. "We feel that the dealers provide us with a lot of services. Our philosophy at this point is, to the extent we can share some of that information with trusted partners who won't misuse that information, we prefer to reward the primary dealers that provide us all that value."
More Borrowing
The latest version of the direct-bidding system, introduced in 2008, is used by 266 investors, according to data provided by the Treasury. Ninealpha's Evans said he doesn't bid directly, in part because "we have a limited number of primary dealers that we interact with and we value the relationships." Still, most dealers know their biggest clients use the system, he said.
"The primary-dealer community has a pretty good idea that all of the big accounts probably have the lines set up so that they can bid directly," Evans said.
The Treasury's borrowing needs have soared since the financial crisis, climbing to a peak of $2.25 trillion in 2010 from $581 billion in 2007. In 2009, the Treasury adopted a schedule of monthly sales of notes with maturities of two, three, five, seven, 10 and 30 years, as well as one auction a month of inflation-protected securities in maturities from five to 30 years. The government also sells short-term bills weekly.
The Treasury will sell three-year notes on April 9, 10-year securities on April 10 and 30-year bonds on April 11. The department hasn't announced the size of the issues yet.
Trading Volume
The record debt sales, combined with the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing policy of buying Treasury bonds, have boosted interest in the market. There are five more primary dealers today than at the end of June 2009, as U.S. units of Royal Bank of Canada, Nomura Holdings Inc., Societe Generale SA, Bank of Montreal and Bank of Nova Scotia won the New York Fed's approval. The 21 dealers today compare with 18 when the program started and with a peak of 46 reached in 1988.
The increase in outstanding debt hasn't translated to the jump in trading some dealers anticipated. An average of $548 billion of Treasuries has traded weekly this year, according to primary-dealer transaction data compiled by the New York Fed. That compares with an average $546 billion weekly in 2006 and 2007, before government borrowing ballooned.

ADVICE! when you hit a VB break study whos out there first so you know how to surf with the locals and still get your rides. Especially on a good day. Even though edicate goes out the window sometimes/alot its good to carry stoke out with you and honor other surfers. NOt to mention holding your ground. Have fun exploring

If you don't want to go as far as the NC outerbanks, there are some great spots down in the Sandbridge area of VB. There are also some great spots on the north-end of the beachfront. For instance, during the Leslie swell, I was down at 58th street and we were getting good chest-to-head-high sets coming through. The only minus during the summer is there are hours where you can't surf on most areas of the beachfront ... you have to wait till the off-season after labor day and before memorial day for all-day surfing hours, or look for red-flag days. The good news is that when there is a huge swell, it's typically a red-flag day :-)

Beaches Optional
Orlebar Brown Monacle 10 Beach Short
In addition to the Orlebar Brown Boxer, we also got to check out the Monocle Edition ($180) of the Bulldog shorts. The new Bulldogs have an updated cut, that's a little more forgiving in the waist and seat, as well as a new fabric which is slightly less coarse. The best part of the Monocle edition is the color(s) – we went for the green flash, and it's even better in person. It's nice to have character in your summer shorts without seizure-inducing patterns.
Author's Note: As with the Bulldogs, the Boxers will not be forgiving if you don't have a good physique. So again, be honest with yourself.

Would you believe that the largest exhibit of animated Christmas characters in the United States is on display in this town of 12,000 people, in a library-turned-museum no less—a 112 year old historical building?
For the past 50 years Santa's Castle has existed in Storm Lake, Iowa and this year they estimate 10,000 residents will tour the 150 exhibits on display between Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve.
Better World Books has donated 5,000 books this year to be given as gifts to the visiting children (we have donated the past 2 years as well, growing the number each year). Economic hardships and unemployment here mean an estimated 30% of families will not be able to buy Christmas gifts for their children. I was advised by our host Ron Hott from Santa's Castle that the books we have donated will be the only gifts that some children will receive.
How satisfying to know that Better World Books is playing an important part in the lives of these children to help brighten their Christmas season.

obviously Grandma departed a very long time ago or gave up on sewing a very long time ago...
and some of the descendants are misinformed...
who's grandma's was it?
grandma might be rolling over in her grave:
does this one confuse you, too?
clear my throat and shake my head. poor grandma....
I love the stories...
"Had a garage sale, and my grandma decided to part ways with this sewing machine desk. It is a White brand sewing machine model no. 764 serial no. 76167. This machine was introduced at the world fair in 1964 and it still runs and sews to this day. The knee pedal, and all the plugs still work. Wood is in good condition with all drawers and even the tray for the bobbins. Great condition. These go on eBay for $500 but my fiancé and I are moving so it has to go. Please call or text with any questions."
Grandma the enabler...
I'll save you the bother of looking.... NO PICTURE...
sewing machine - $200 (lewisville)
i have two for one very good price they ware my grandma's so you know what that means

some times Grandma had something very nice and I wish I could drive over there and pick it up on my way home from work... sigh.
the price is $10000 Just in case someone has already snapped it up here is the story...
"There is a story to this piece. This has been in our family for over 100 years. When Grandpa's Mother passed away he was four, this was the only item he received to remember her by. To this day, my Grandmother still uses the sewing machine. The machine is a HOME RUN (that's the name of it.) Everything in there home looks new and this item is of no exception. Grandma is now 96 and wants to sell it. They had it appraised over 25 years ago for $10,000.00. The cabinet has never been refurbished and the coloring of the machine is still very vibrant. All original attachments included - even the oil can! I don't see a scratch on it! They don't make cabinets like this anymore! Many compartments for storage. All offers considered. The machine inside is called a Home Run. It goes with the cabinet. COD only please."
http://cnj.craigslist.org/atq/3713133585.html might be a good deal - if so it will be gone but the post is still there...

Exchange traded fund investors have piled into dividend-generating investments after a year of high market volatility and low fixed-income yields, but there are other options available. For instance, real estate investment trusts, or REITs, also offer decent income streams.
REITs are securities that trade like stocks on major exchanges. The investments hold physical properties that generate revenue from rent payments, or REITs may be mortgage based, which means they hold property mortgages through either loaning money for mortgages or purchasing existing mortgages and other mortgage securities. Hybrid REITs hold both mortgages and physical properties.
The companies generate revenue from rent collected on properties. REITs then pay out a chunk of their net income to shareholders through dividends in order to qualify for federal tax breaks.
"REITs afford retail investors the ability to participate in a traditionally illiquid asset class–real estate–and receive stocklike returns with bondlike income streams," according to Morningstar analyst Abraham Bailin. "These benefits come in addition to real estate's ability to serve as an inflationary hedge through its asset appreciation and rising rents."
Since the financial crisis, new issues of commercial mortgage REITs have become less risky, some industry experts argued.
Some believe that newer REITs operate more prudently than predecessors and offer greater transparency, reports Jennifer Popovec for NuWire Investor. Specifically, the REITs operate with lower leverage, stay away from cross collateratlization and lend to lower loan-to-values.
"Without question we've seen better disclosure coming out of mortgage REITs since 2008," says Stephen Laws, an analyst with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc, said in the article. "It's a welcome change, and I think that's a trend we're going to continue to see. The shareholders like that additional disclosure because it makes it easier to evaluate risk and reward. In fact, the added disclosure has made traditional REIT investors more comfortable with mortgage REITs, and it has brought in a new segment of investors."
"All of these things amplified the risk to shareholders, and you could make the simple case that commercial mortgage REITs today operate at materially lower risk levels than old mortgage REITs," Boyd Fellows, president and director of Starwood Property Trust, said. "I don't think the yields the old REITs were achieving were any higher, but we're now doing it at dramatically lower leverage levels and risk."

I was offered a job teaching.. I've only been out of college for 1 year.. and i was offered this huge job to start in August!!!! Right after i get back from my honeymoon..

Cause i own a butcher shop now.. but got this great offer that i can't turn down.. im soooooooo excited...
thanks so much for listening.. Ya'll are great!!
Hi Chrystal,
Congratulations on your new job. Wishing you much success.
Chrystal, Congratulations! You've mentioned before that you own a butcher shop and that sounds so strange, not because you own one, but because we never hear of butcher shop around here anymore. I'm in Kansas.
That's great news Chrystal...I'm so excited for you! Teaching is such a rewarding job too especially when you love what you teach. Good luck!
Congrats Chrystal!! Best of luck w/your new teaching assignement!
Good luck, hope the butcher shop sells fast for you~
congratulations.....and good wishes
Best wishes all the way around Chrystal! Things have a way of working out for the best as I'm sure it will for you, congratulations!
thanks everyone.. im so very excited..can't wait to tell my other half... umm.. I grew up in a butcher shop. When i graduated college last year.. the one that iw as working in was for sale.;. so my grandparents put in 1/3 and my parents threw in 1/3 and i had to come up with the rest.. The shop has done real good. We are more gourmet than what people think.. not the old fashioned type.. no animals hanging and no whole sides of beef for anyone to see... we keep that stuff behind the scenes..ahha..
anyways.. we have had good luck wtih this place and have had a few good offers.. i bought it for just under 100 grand.. and now its appraised at almost 250... so the improvements we made to satisfy me... obviously helped a bit... im so so excited.. but i plan to move back up north after a few years and have a few more kids... whoa sorry i completely got off the topic.. but thanks again for everyones happinesss!

My daughter made me a cake lol... she decided she wanted to say congrats to me.. she knew i was irritated cause i wanted to tell her dad but hes not near a phone for another few days... so i baked a cake for a neighbor and i left the room so it could cool a little more.. i was making an ice cream cake for her... and i came back.. and my daughter finger painted with her paints rigth onto the cake.. im gonna post the pic..its so cute.. she wanted me to eat it..and i told her no because i saw she used her finger paints as icing...shes a goof ball... lol
How sweet of your daughter to make you a cake--finger paints and all! Well the paints are usually non-toxic...not sure how they'd taste though--LOL!
Just wanted to add my well wishes and blessings to You!

Health Inequality - An Overview on the Health Disparities between Romania and European Union State Members
Although, currently many people live longer and enjoy the benefit of better health than their previous generations, many countries face an important challenge: large differences among population's health. Thus, health inequality is met everywhere in the world, but more accentuated in countries with a high level of economic development, or those with strong social protection systems. This is an important reason why social policies should be implemented to reduce disparities between disadvantaged groups and the rest of the population. Therefore, in this paper I analyzed the health inequalities between the populations living in Romania in comparison with European Union State Members, focussing my research on three areas of health matters: health status of population, access to health care services and the resource allocation, which population is spending on health care. The empirical analysis conducted in this study reflects the fact that there are health differences in all three directions. Regarding Romania's data, not only the health indicators are unfavourable in comparison, but also those relating to access to health services and aggregate affordability for health expenses of the entire population.

Note to Netanyahu: There Are No Blockades in High-tech
It may not bring peace, but at the very least a Gaza university graduate recruited by an Israeli high-tech firm is unlikely to be drawn to Hamas.
It may not bring peace, but at the very least a Gaza university graduate recruited by an Israeli high-tech firm is unlikely to be drawn to Hamas.
For 15 years he has been shooting words directly at the heart of the left, but since he too sees the occupation as an existential threat to a Jewish and democratic Israel, he is shooting himself in the heart as well.
Never doubt that the day will eventually come when peace becomes a reality, not a dream.
Former diplomat Dennis Ross ignores, in his new book, the fact that the more Israel moves away from being democratic and Jewish, the less successful U.S. policy is – by its own definition. He was part of the problem.
Kulanu, which promised to represent the middle path in Israeli society, is the only partner in the coalition that betrays its voters.
Netanyahu is relying on the belief that Europe won't stop him from managing the conflict until he has put an end to any diplomatic solution. And for now, he is succeeding in holding the European rope at both ends.
How is it possible to harm Jewish communities that bring us, year after year, the World Cup in international protest and condemnation?
Three and a half years ago the Zionist Union leader drew up a peace plan in which he proposed Israel's immediate recognition of Palestine as an independent state.
Netanyahu's unequivocal disavowal of the two-state solution leaves Kulanu party only one option: to recommend that Herzog form the next government.
Herzog and Livni also bear responsibility for the growth of the settler population in the past decade.

File Cabinet Organization Tips
Is your file cabinet a mess? Are you unable to quickly locate documents when they're needed? Create an organized system for storing important documents and you'll never again waste time searching for items. Follow these simple steps to create your organized filing system.
- Purge old, obsolete files. Shred items with personal information.
- Identify what papers need to be placed in active files and what goes in the permanent files.
- Active files hold resource materials which are regularly referred to for information.
- Permanent files are rarely referred to but contain records we are required to retain, such as tax and legal records.
- Select a filing solution based on your needs and space. Active files can be stored separately from permanent files and should be more easily accessible.
- Choose colorful file folders to organize by topic.
- Use hanging files for topic and divide subtopics with interior files.
- Alphabetize main categories to save time.
- Clearly label each file.
- File immediately — the key to keeping your filing system up-to-date is to file things right away.
- Always have plenty of folders and labels on hand.
- Set a recurring time to review your files and keep them up to date.

The zoning board of appeals in Edwardsville, Ill., recently approved a special-use permit for a self-storage development that will include indoor units and outdoor-vehicle parking. The developer, 2S Properties, had previously received a special-use permit for the project at 211 Second Ave., but it only covered part of the property, requiring a second appeal. The tract of land in question was zoned M-1 manufacturing.
Although the board extended the special-use permit to the additional property, there was some debate during the meeting in regards to the outdoor parking. A representative for 2S Properties, David Gerber, told board members the plans call for an 8-foot chain-link fence for the portion that would include vehicle parking, which meets the city's height ordinance. Screening and plants would also be installed. The zoning board approved the permit contingent on adding these components. It also requested the fencing have vinyl-screening slats, board approval of planting sites before installation, and that the landscaping be maintained.
Another area of concern was the size of the buildings. The plans include one building measuring 30 feet by 160 feet or 180 feet, or about 22,000 square feet. Because a portion of the property is under power lines, approval for additional buildings will depend on input from the local power company, Ameren Illinois. If buildings cannot be erected, Gerber told the board the area would be considered for outdoor-vehicle parking, bringing the site's total exterior parking to 27,500 square feet.

To do this problem you will need to know that $a^0 = 1$ when $a\neq 0$ and $1^b=1$ for any $b$ along with other power manipulations which are needed from the beginning of C1.
Note that $0^0$ is not defined as a number.
You will also need to know the formula for the solution of a quadratic equation.
If you are studying complex numbers then you can also bring those ideas into the problem if desired.

When concocting your culinary delights, or even just barbecuing a simple sausage do/would you consider wearing an apron?
You know something grrrr masculine (not in pink), maybe a pocket in a nice striped fabric?
It may save getting a hot greasy splatter in an embarassing area.
Chat Forum
Calling STW male chefs
When concocting your culinary delights, or even just barbecuing a simple sausage do/would you consider wearing an apron?
Categorically no.
How would you get a hot greasy splatter?
I live in the 2nd decade of the 21st century and not 1973.
No. Tuck a clean tea-towel into your waste band. Aprons are for public appearances only - i.e. if you intend to go into the dining area to speak to punters. And even then you should wear a jacket over the top, so that the "bib" bit isn't on show. Same with headgear - bandana/doo-rag/skull cap in the kitchen, toque in public.
surroundedbyhills - I have a small business making various things, amongst them women's and Children's aprons, just researching if there is a market for a 'big boy's' one.
Mine will be similar to your picture.
Edit: Hot greasy splatter can happen to even the best of us 40 years on
I'm tremendously messy in the kitchen, so yes - I do wear one.
As a male, there are certain rules we have to follow in the kitchen.
It is my moral duty to completely cover both myself and every working surface in whatever it is I'm cooking,. And also to use every dish and pan in the house, which will then be casually discarded in the sink, half full, or caked in baked on ingredients
I did actually buy Mrs Binners this one for christmas though....
If I'm using my dads BBQ which seems to give out ridiculous amounts of heat then yes as it gets pretty painful around the important bits. Otherwise, no.
Hey, the site of me in an apron has been the cause of many a hot greasy splatter.
Yep, blue stripy one, rides up at the back though, what knots for aprons thread?
Definitely, stops getting your clothes covered in grease stains.
Usually use on from Ikea: decent heavy fabric, black with white stripes. No pink. Looks like this one, but with a couple of loops for hanging tea towels off:
Black and white checks for me, I own 2
Yep, blue stripy one, rides up at the back though, what knots for aprons thread?
I think you need something more robust than a thread - cotton tape...oh I see sorry
I would wear an apron, but just an apron, oh and possibly a big tall white chefs hat, but nothing else...
Do you wanna come round for dinner.....;-)
Got a couple but I don't wear them.
Ask yourself this though: Who's going to be buying the aprons for men? Probably their other halves - who will have no idea whether their BF/hubby will wear it or not.
I'd just wear the hat. Not necessarily on my head
Only use one now and then when I'm planning on making a right mess
I own 2 both from local brewery's they were both gifts
Who's going to be buying the aprons for men?
Kitchen geeks like me. Decent knives, kitchen power tools, etc. etc.
As a male, there are certain rules we have to follow in the kitchen.
It is my moral duty to completely cover both myself and every working surface in whatever it is I'm cooking,. And also to use every dish and pan in the house, which will then be casually discarded in the sink, half full, or caked in baked on ingredients
I mean, an apron seems a good idea, but I'm not sure I can see myself wearing one.
I'd like one with a pair of boobies on it.
Or some tits.
I'm quite the ornithologist and would be keen to combine that hobby, with that of cooking....
DrP, how about a bird with a pair of large breasts?
I don't. However, I'm told they are like dropper posts, once you use one you can't imagine how you coped without them.
Or a really fine pair of the aforementioned baps....
To be fair, if you wore an apron your baps wouldn't be floury
I only ever wear a tea towel over my shoulder. And I normally put it down without thinking and it is then inevitably always equidistantly the farthest away from the position I am in the kitchen when I most need it.
.....and where's the fun in that?
Nettles, Binners and MartynS you have all made me lol.
So the conclusion of my survey is:
8 for a yes
4 for a no.
Several were just being very rude
So I may go ahead and make a 'Go Faster Stripes' apron, with holder for tea towel, 'D' rings on the shoulder strap (to fit a large head) and a pocket for extra protection when the grease starts to spit.
with holder for tea towelSurely any man will require several toolbelt-style hangers for loads of unneccessary implements ?
and write "Coq, ou vin ?" on the front of Binners' one
I would only maybe consider wearing one of these:
I cook naked, with a tea towel strategically wedged between my butt cheeks. No need to worry about stains on my clothing and it teaches you not to cook with your pans too hot and spitting I can tell you!
I wear one if I'm doing anything that involves flour (quiet at the back) as I tend to get covered in the stuff. In my defence, it's my grandad's old one that he used to use for sawing blocks of wood in half(*), so I'm fairly sure my man-cred remains intact.
(* - Well, technically he used to use a saw for that, not an apron, but he wore the apron whilst he was doing it. Sheesh, some people; you're not funny you know.)

A recent study involving 264 teenagers found that computer use is directly proportional to alcohol consumption, according to a feature on Medical News Today. Teens who often use their computers for social networking, downloading music, and other recreational activities also drink more than those who do not spend as much time on computers.
A report in the online edition of the Addictive Behaviors journal showed a survey done by the Weill Cornell Medical College headed by Dr. Jennifer Epstein linking the use of computers to teenage drinking. In the activity that they conducted, teens aged 13 to 17 years old who had their share of alcoholic beverages in the last month also registered more hours spent on a computer, not including school-related work done using it. There was also a link between frequent social networking and music downloading to their alcohol consumption. No significant relationship was established, though, for video games or online shopping and teenage drinking.
According to Dr. Epstein, "exposure to online material such as alcohol advertising or alcohol-using peers on social networking sites could reinforce teens' drinking." Children become involved in the Internet at very early ages and so parents must see to it that they involve themselves on online activities of kids. Although parents use filters to block Internet content which is not child-friendly, they often neglect cases of adolescents who gain access to the Web.
At 12 or 13, teens begin their experiments and encounters with alcohol. It is, therefore, important that parents establish good communication and a conduct of discipline at home. In addition, rules on computer use should also be implemented.
The Internet may be an important tool in our lives but it can also become a distraction and a means for children to take on bad habits. It is important that parents closely monitor their kids and not underestimate the impact of technology on the youth.

I am trying to create a code to: 1) Solve this differential Equation for h(t) (or h2) in terms of t. 2) Solve for t at a certain h2. 3) Plot h2 versus t
the equation is (dh/dt)=(-36290.323)*[(((2*mw*g*t)/(Gama*Atank))+(2*g*h))^(1/2)]
Thank you for your help.
Log in to comment.
hi Kyle,
You can try as the following :
1) Create a function in M-file inwhich you define the equation :
function dh=MYFunc(t,h) %(dh/dt)=(-36290.323)*[(((2*mw*g*t)/(Gama*Atank))+(2*g*h))^(1/2)] A=-36290.323; mw=2.33; g=9.81; Gamma=1.23; Atank=4; dh(1)=A*(((2*mw*g*t)/(Gamma*Atank))+(2*g*h(1))).^(1/2);
2) In the workspace you call the function "ode23" or "ode45" as :
t0=0; % staring time tf=10; % t final Initial_value=2; % the initial value for h [t,h]=ode45('MYFunc',t0,tf,[Initial_value]); figure, plot(t,abs(h));
Adjust the parameters, and try ...because in this case h is complex .
Thank you for your help Youssef.
Code is working great. One question I have about the code for part 2. I have the final value of h that I am looking for. Is there a way to plug in the initial and final values to get tf?
hi Kyle,
no i can not tell, that may be possible if we already know the Sampling frequency of t .

Jon's Jottings: Wanda Plourde is special to St. Croix County vets
After 27 years of full-time work in the St. Croix County Veterans Service Office, Wanda Plourde has retired. She will be missed by a lot of vets, me included.
There is a capable staff left behind to take care of veterans' needs with Merlin Blaisdell, service officer and ex-Army, and Geri Campbell who officially took over Wanda's position Monday, June 25. But Wanda was kind of special to a lot of us.
It is difficult dealing with any bureaucracy at any level and federal bureaucracies are at the top of the heap. Wanda helped veterans wade through the quagmire of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) as a seasoned trooper and made things easier.
About seven or eight years ago, I stopped into to Wanda's office on a quest to find the date of death of an old high school classmate of mine who I knew served in the U.S. Air Force. The local veteran's office seemed like the right place to start and Wanda was the right person to talk to.
I sat down across from her desk and told her what I was after. She asked me a few facts about the fellow and before I was done answering she was dialing the phone to a colleague in an office, presumably in the Twin Cities and in fewer than five minutes after walking in the door, I had my answer.
I have taken a particular interest in writing stories about the experiences of our local veterans over the past 13 years from living vets of World War II through the present conflicts. I have even done some stories about deceased vets from prior campaigns, including the Civil War and World War I.
We seek a vet's story for the HSO issues published around Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
Wanda has been a great help to me in locating vets for these stories. Many she knew personally and could put me in touch with them right away.
She was also a big help to me in obtaining a headstone for my father's grave, a World War II Navy veteran, through the VA.
I know she has done these types of good deeds countless number of times over the decades she has worked for the county's veterans. Helping them cut through the mountains of paperwork, pointing out what was most important, taking care of the little routine forms to fill out and getting the help they needed and were entitled to have.
She said when she first started as a part-timer 30 years ago there were a few World War I vets she helped. Wanda has helped them all right up to Afghanistan.
It was her job, but it was always my experience she made it personal. I always felt she was working a project just for me. And I came out of her office with a clearer understanding about the process and a feeling that something would get done.
Her retirement plans include, "playing with my grandchildren." She has four. But the leisure time won't last long.
"I'll be back in the office in August," she said. She will fill in for Blaisdell who will be on an extended vacation in Germany.
"And I'll be here for two days in September," she said because the office staff is going on a two-day training session.
After than she plans to volunteer at the VA Medical Center in Minneapolis and work on developing a hobby for the winter, the season she hates.
Still she said, "I'll miss the vets and the people I worked with."
Wanda is a native of the area. The former Wanda Flattum lived in North Hudson and Hudson and graduated from Hudson High School in 1964. She was active in North Hudson Pepper Fest activities along with other civic projects.
An all-day open house was staged for her in the vet's office of the Government Center June 22. It continued on after work at Starr's Bar in North Hudson.
And that's not the end of it. The Somerset American Legion will hold another celebration to honor Wanda at 4 p.m. July 14.
Maybe one World War II vet summed it up the best in a poem he wrote for Wanda and presented, framed, on her last day.
What A Tomato
Wanda Plourde is the name of this fair lady
She's been our friend's friend forever, not just lately.
Her continued involvement has made her a star
With many Veterans from near or far.
When she volunteers for something it's not just for today
A prime example, her efforts for the Pepper Fest are here to stay
Notifying the High School band for holiday events
Getting fifth-graders to the Government Center sent.
There is nothing too big, nothing too small
She'll get in the middle; you can bet she'll call.
For help if it's necessary, it's not going to fail
If she got tired she would go rest in the jail.
June 22nd, 2012 is the retirement date
With all her surgeries, she won't be late.
Look out Geri and Merlin, she's putting on her shoes
You can bet she's ready and not going to lose.
We wish you well and a retirement to enjoy
You're a peach of a tomato...Boy o' Boy!

U.S. Navy Veteran

Management Training
Management training isn't just for newbies and novices – managers and supervisors of all levels and all ages need actionable management practices to bring to their department, division or company. Learn how to be the best boss you can be by expanding your management skills, managing change effectively and bring strong leadership into your everyday management practices.
One important way to judge your success as a manger is by the success of your employees. An effective manager isn't just a boss who can extract the most productivity from his people, but the one who produces great future managers. How can you be sure that under your leadership managers will blossom?
Start your management training program here with our articles, tools, self-tests, and training sessions…
Some employees with chronic health conditions mistakenly believe that getting approved for intermittent FMLA leave means they can take protected time off anytime they feel ill. That's simply not true. Intermittent leave can only be taken for illness, treatment or flare-ups directly related to a condition for which a health care provider has certified intermittent leave.
When trivial tasks stand like a mountain between you and important assignments, check whether one of these tactics will allow you to plow through them quicker...
You may not realize it, but many small business owners adopt war principles to lead their companies to higher profits. Think about it:
If your former employees decide to sue, they'll find themselves competing for lawyers to represent them. Increasingly, former employees are filing their own lawsuits. And judges give such pro se plaintiffs every possible break since they aren't expected to know the tricks of the legal trade.

MLT-2 Customer Review
by Chad, 5 years ago
These speakers are replacing my old BIG Polk RTi series. I sold them because the wife wanted something smaller. My old center speaker was almost a foot high and 2 feet wide. Then there was the 2 towers and 15" Velodyne sub. They sounded great and I hated to part with them. But in the end if she's not happy…
The first 2 weeks I could hear they were a little harsh in the highs and they didn't seem very full with the voices in the center. I knew going into this that I would notice harshness in the highs for a couple weeks. But I was really impressed that after "breaking" them in, they got much fuller with the mid-bass (male voices). Of course the highs are not harsh anymore.
With having these for a month now, I can't believe the sound I am getting out of these for the price I paid. I absolutely recommend these to anyone looking for a small BIG system. I don't even miss the old sub. When I was younger and didn't have kids I may have blasted movies. But even this sub cranks it out at high volumes.
I have listened to all the Martin Logan speakers and because of their other speakers I was willing to take a shot on these without hearing them first. I will admit, the Motion Series is really what I want. They sound amazing. If you have the budget, I would highly recommend them over these.

The Foundation receives the Diploma of Honour from the Mediterranean Diet Foundation
The award was received by Ramon Pont this Wednesday afternoon in an event held at the Saló Cent of Barcelona's City Hall The acknowledgement was given to the FC Barcelona Foundation for the 'We are what we eat' campaign, which had a "valuable contribution of raising awareness for healthy eating habits"
On Wednesday night the FC Barcelona Foundation received one of the Diplomas of Honour given out by the Mediterranean Diet Foundation during Edition XI of the Barcelona International Congress on Mediterranean Diet - which took place in the International Hall of Food and Drink.
The award highlights FC Barcelona Foundation's "We are what we eat" campaign and its "valuable contribution of raising awareness for healthy eating habits." The campaign was put into action in the last semester of 2011 with the objective of increasing research around and raising awareness for the benefits of the Mediterranean diet. The accolade was received by Ramon Pont, first vice president of the FC Barcelona Foundation, during an event held at the Saló Cent at Barcelona's City Hall. Other entities were also awarded for raising awareness and promoting better eating habits.
The campaign 'We are what we eat," which was aimed at children and youngsters, raised awareness about the benefits of healthy eating habits through promoting a nutritional diet and participating in athletic events as seen in the Barça's first team, La Masia and retired footballers.

Is the Homosexual Man's Obsession With Dolls Just a Myth?
Did you hear about the Drag Queen Ken-Barbie? It "came out" with three, count 'em, three of Barbie's dresses? Mike, a Barbie-loving, 30-something year-old man who never left home would know all about that. Barbie seems to have turned into something of a gay icon. The coming out process is two-fold: "They disclose their sexuality. They profess their love for Barbie."

What's Eating Rifford Raff?
Not so neon.
Complex TV posted a video interview with RiFF RAFF from SXSW yesterday, and it might take the gold medal for simultaneously painful and delightful things to watch. See, for whatever reason (a harsh come down, perhaps) RiFF RAFF was SUPER aggy. I mean, sure, SXSW is a cluster fuck and there are a ton of egos competing for attention and it has been said that the festival/conference/gathering has officially lost its way. There are a number of reasons to be butthurt and in a less than a stellar mood, but RiFF RAFF's demeanor here is just – what, why – and a peculiar twist in the rapper's career, which so heavily relies on image.
See, as much as I feel like I shouldn't like RiFF RAFF; the idea that all of this is a put on, the below average bars, the insistence on him being a star; I sort of do. He's affable and funny, and has a penchant for coining phrase that's likely unparalleled.
But all of that is dependent on him being likable. If we are to believe him, that this is not a character he's inhabiting, but his real true self, then what are we to make of the moody out-of-it-ness that's on display above or in this interview with Pitchfork? Yes, rappers are people too and people have bad days and sometimes interviews don't go as planned. But this feels different. Maybe it's because RiFF Raff has a video series ON Complex TV. Maybe it's because in it, he asks for a print cover even though he's yet to release a full length album. Maybe it's because this isn't the first time we've seen dude show up for camera time and put in fractional effort.
I don't really know. But it's clear that he's got big personality and that he can entertain. In fact, I would say those are his two leading attributes as an artist, and when he brings neither to the table, what are we left with exactly? Not much. So snap out of it RiFF, put on a happy face, and give an actual interview. If that's too much to ask, then the lights might be dimming on the Neon Icon when all's said and done.
