Apple Maps Not An Exact Replacement For Google Maps
By Gary Krakow
I got to see and touch the new iPhone 5 yesterday. I was surprised at just how thin and lightweight it is. Apple should be commended.
On the other hand, there are a lot of people who've actually played with the device who are reportedly not as pleased with Apple's new mapping system.

The whole point of online dating sites was to make matchmaking so easy anyone could do it themselves. Which makes the pitch for a new premium service from dating giant eHarmony seem odd at first: Pay us $5000 and you'll get a personal counselor to help not only sift through matches, but quietly approach them on your behalf.
So why did they do it? After surveying 15,000 eHarmony members who earn more than $250,000 a year, it was clear there was huge demand for such a perk, says Grant Langston, eHarmony's vice president of customer experience. The site has one other reason to fast-track the new counseling service: An unexpected marketing opportunity. Ben Stiller's holiday movie, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," features an eHarmony counselor. eHarmony didn't pay for the plug or provide such a service — until now. "The counselor is going to have a lot of power," Langston says. "The service is also designed to minimize the rejection and anxiety that comes with online dating."
eHarmony's 29 different dimensions — the company's famous and sometimes parodied algorithms created by founder Neil Clark Warren, a clinical psychologist — cover personality and character rather than chemistry or physical attractiveness, Langston says. That's where the counselor comes in. As with the fictional eHarmony counselor in Stiller's movie, the real ones will talk to members by phone or Skype — or in person for those who live near eHarmony's offices in Santa Monica, Calif. (Langston hopes 1,000 people will sign up by the end of 2014 and has other counselors on standby.)
"Matchmakers know that loneliness is a powerful business model," says Dan Slater, author of "Love in the Time of Algorithms: What Technology Does to Meeting and Mating." And when it comes to paying thousands of dollars — instead of eHarmony's $60 monthly fee — dating sites need to manage the already high expectations carefully, says Mark Brooks, a dating-industry analyst and the editor of Online Personals Watch. "It was only inevitable that free dating sites started to add these kinds of premium features," he says.
Others say it makes sense to combine a matchmaker with a dating site. Most brick-and-mortar matchmakers don't have millions of members, says Reuben J. Thomas, assistant professor of Sociology at the City College of New York. (eHarmony doesn't release its active membership, but a spokeswoman says it's had 44 million members since it was founded in 2000.) Dating sites need to sell extra services to the lawyer and banker, and remain affordable to the love-starved, starving artist, Thomas say. "Physical attractiveness, common interests and personal charm can matter more than exclusivity," he says. "But the search process can be a lot of work."
Match.com – a subscription-based dating site like eHarmony — already tried matchmakers six years ago. "Match.com hired some matchmakers in Dallas to experiment with higher price points," Brooks says. "Then things went quiet, and they let the matchmakers go." (The service cost $1,500 to $3,000, depending on the length of the package, according to a spokeswoman for Match.com.) "People point to the sting of rejection and the time it takes to sift through profiles as two of the biggest frustrations of online dating," Brooks says. "But I wonder how many users have the disposable income for that kind of help."

6oz. 12-Sided Jar |
The 6 oz. is the smallest in our 12-Sided line. We also carry a 10oz. 12-Sided Jar. |
- VERY PLEASED I love these jars! I was using the 8 oz mason but some of my customers wanted a jar that was a bit more fancy. These jars fit the bill and the price is right. Even though they hold a little less wax than the masons, I can still get the same price because the jar is nicer. In the long run I am making a better profit because I am using less wax. |

Research and Fellows
- Details
- Category: Uncategorised
The IIRE sees it as an obligation to conduct research which can be used by progressive forces around the globe - to change or affect the social reality, that they face. This research takes different forms, but are generally carried out in close collaboration with movements 'on the ground' on the one hand and skilled scholars on the other. We hope that by bringing together these two different groups in concrete projects helps to open up new ways of perceiving the challenge that faces social activists today.
Our network of Fellows is paramount to the conducting of our actual research.
During our lifetime, we have been fortunate enough to establish regular contacts with several researchers, some of whom have chosen to become fellows of the institute, supporting it morally and scientifically.
A list of our fellows can be found here

Here's Video Of Jennifer Lawrence Shooting Plastic Arrows At People On A Spanish Talk Show
Today's theme is sexy celebs doing sports. Jon Hamm bowled earlier and now here's the adorable Jennifer Lawrence shooting plastic arrows. Later I will post a video of Andy Dick wrestling with a bear. First I have to kidnap Andy Dick, drug him and drop him into a pit with a bear. Shouldn't be too hard. I'll lure him with promises of butt sex then inject him. Should I wake him up before dropping him in the bear pit?

Investigators provided few answers Monday afternoon during a briefing about the Saturday night explosion that killed two people.
Officials from the Indianapolis Division of Homeland Security, Code Enforcement and Citizens Energy refused to speculate about the cause of the explosion. They also couldn't confirm reports that the home in question had a high amount of gas consumption or a faulty furnace.
"As it stand right now, it's a continuing investigation," said Gary Coons, chief of the Homeland Security Division. "We are working with federal departments and local departments in this investigation."
Coons said the National Transportation Safety Board is involved in the investigation.
"Federal investigators have resources we do not have," Coons said. "They are giving us access to those resources."
He added, "There are a lot of possibilities out there that could trigger this."
According to officials, 29 houses remain uninhabitable. Their focus right now is getting people to their homes so insurance adjusters can survey the damage.
"As fast as the insurance companies can move, we'll be able to accommodate them," said Adam Collins, deputy director of Code Enforcement.
Officials said there are six houses in need of "substantial shoring" before anyone can get inside those homes to inspect them.
According to Citizens Energy spokeswoman Sarah Holsapple, tests are continuing on whether a gas leak was to blame for the disaster.
"We are continuing to test the gas lines," Holsapple said. "We have tested the gas line on fire and found there are no leaks."
Holsapple said Citizens Energy was testing lines coming from the home to the gas main with the help of the NTSB. She added that the company had been out to the home on Fieldfare Way to read the meter on Oct. 26. There were no calls about a faulty furnace, Holsapple said.
Officials said non-residents should stay away from the neighborhood. They urged anyone wanting to help to contact churches and local aid organizations, telling them to stay out of the neighborhood.
We've started to focus on getting homeowners into their homes in a safe way to get belongings out," Collins added.

Online Store
The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
But Hibbard and co recovered well to record successive victories over France, Italy and then Scotland to give themselves a chance at retaining their RBS 6 Nations title at the Millennium Stadium.
And Hibbard claims the resounding 30-3 triumph over the Red Rose on March 16 was the perfect way to respond to those who had raised concerns on their ability.
"So many people were saying we were going to finish fifth and it wasn't going to be the best Six Nations for us," said Hibbard.
"But then we turned it around and turned it around with that final win [against England[. I think that answered a lot of people and it was truly special."
While flying wing Alex Cuthbert claimed much of the praise for his double in Cardiff, Hibbard insists the tough tackling done in training was the catalyst for their victory.
"We have a live, crazy Tuesday every week," added Hibbard. "The Under-20s come in and train, and at the end of that session we have one-on-one tackling so you choose your group.
"If you're a tad sore you go with the less hitter boys or if you're keen, you go near Alun Wyn Jones, he's a machine."

The Forgotten beauty
3:40pm Wednesday 17th August 2011 in Mohamed-Zain Dada By Mohamed-Zain Dada
"Black is Beautiful" proclaimed Marcus Garvey before it became a popular phrase in the 1960s. Today is the birth of the great man who pushed for equality for African Americans and for a unified Africa in the 1920s.
In this day and age, it's easy to take having an abundance of food for granted. As Muslims around the world fast for Ramadan, a large part of East Africa are going through endless days of involuntary famine. Unimaginable suffering ensues, to watch your own child starve is a bewildering concept for us. It's easy to forget nations wearily vanishing into lawlessness when the Horn of Africa still has its incredible beaches and saints and joyous laughter.
A friend of mine went to Somalia recently, she proclaimed that the hidden beauty was evident through the gorgeous landscape and through Somalis themselves who can make jokes about the state in which they are in.
Despite Somalia being "synonymous with suffering, piracy and famine" (If you'd like to read more: www.samiramusa.wordpress.com) The Def Jam poet Amir Sulaiman articulated "the forgotten nation" through a touching poem about Somalia: "Only if you had oil or poppy or timber or rubber or white people, I'd mention you in my prayers. But the world has grown accustomed to watch you die."
"If only didn't wear the resemblance of Eve like an ornate funeral shroud we wouldn't see you as our sin and avert our gazes in shame, turn our faces to blame. Oh Somalia, only if your beautiful wasn't so black."
On Friday 26th August, charity Ulfa Aid and Words Apart have organized a poetry live lounge to raise money for Somalia. The live lounge to take place in Willesden Green at Rumi's Cave. A befitting name, Rumi the great Persian poet identified that a unified humanity would be the only way to peace in the future, Rumi said this in the 13th century.
The live lounge will feature some of London's best young poets and musicians as well as members of Words Apart. I will be hosting the lounge which aims to unite creative young people. The live lounge's will be monthly and support different charitable causes as well as having differing themes each month.
The poetry live lounge to 'Feed Somalia' will take place at Rumi's Cave on Friday 26th August from 5:30pm 26 WILLESDEN LANE, LONDON NW6 7ST More Details on: www.wordsapart7.blogspot.com

Reading just the headline I thought this was about Obama´s ego.
I thought it had something to do with our national debt.
I thought it was about Obama´s capacity for evil doing.
This is scientific malarkey. If you go to the latest paper (http://mnras.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2013/01/07/mnras.sts497.full.pdf ) You´ll see that the group size is determined statistically by a statistical analysis of next-nearest neighbors. If you look at Figure 1, depicting the so called group, you´ll see that it really consists of three groups--a loop at the bottom right, a central linear group and a linear group at the top. This is much like anthropic global warming--hoopla generated by unknowledgeable media.
Thought to have been -or not. Next?
I thought they were talking about Mooochelle´s backside!!
And here I thought it was Obama´s ego.
Why does humankind always have to be insignificant? It´s hugely significant. While this discovery is fascinating, what´s actually insignificant is the usefulness of this information in our lives.The efforts to trivialize the value of people continue apace.

I like the title Fan. I think it would be a great movie. We were talking at book discussion at the Drum about all of us being biblio maniacs with piles of books. How we love the smell of them and the feel of the pages. I mentioned to them my friend was getting a Kindle and he said Oh no!!! you can interact with plastic like you can with a real book. I agreed. Was a great evening with fellow biblio maniacs. Susan |

Everytime I log onto Amazon, I see the Kindle, and think,"No pages? No covers? No well-thumbed passages and frayed edges? Nope, not for me!" I used to wonder what I'd use an iPod for, and now that I have one, well, I'm kinda attached to it. But a Kindle--nope! Curl up with a good. . . Kindle??? Susan and Fan, that Sisterhood sounds like a good one. Room for one more?? Pam |

Pam you fit the profile of course you can join. I was just talking to Marie on the phone and she wants to be a part too. I think the onl requirement is over 100 books or more. Can't be a real bilio maniac unless you have over 100 books I would think. At that that is a small collection. lol. I gave away many of my teaching books when I retired . Now saying that you would not believe how many children's books I still have. Some I just can't part with. Especially the ones given to me by the children. Somewhere along the line it became a tradition to sign the book and put a picture of yourself in the book. The moms would help their child . I had started by having the children sign their name, and then I put their school picture in the book. Soon the kids started having their mom help them sign the book and write something. Then the moms took a picture and put it in the book. One I love is the kid wrote" I give you this book." There was the one kid that gave me a copy of the newest Shel Sliverstein to ransom her own copy which I kept teasing I was going to keep. She went home and had her mother buy a new copy and take her picture holding it . It said Here is your own copy so I can get mine back. lol. Susan |

I've been interested in this discussion of how many books everyone has as I am also one of those bookaholics. There was a time when I actually had to take the long way from point A to point B so I would not go past a library. Our home also has several full bookcases as well as many boxes stored in the attic. My interests besides the CW are history, politics, biography and mystery. Last summer I actually gave away over 200 mystery paperbacks to several of my bookaholic friends. Of course, the piles are again beginning to accumulate. Susan, you probably have us all beat, and I would love to see your Dick and Jane books as I remember those very well |

I am trying to build a data base on my books so I know what I have . I made a different data base for each subject I am interested in. I am way far away from finishing the data base but so far I have entered 208 in American History plus 15 more Lewis and Clark 308 in Civil War 155 mysteries and that doesn't include the five or six boxes sitting here to give away. Also all the ones that are not yet on the data base. I have given away already most of my mysteries before I started the data base 68 in literature which is a a catatgory I have not really worked on yet 53 Women's studies 300 plus that are in mini catagories trains, art, music etc. world history haven't begun to catalog all my medieval and Elizabethan history I haven't even touched yet. Nor all my art books . agghhhhhh I am addicted. Then there is my primers preprimers and other text book collection including two huge preprimer easel books that were used in the early 50's I gave to the high school last year 100 books on theatre arts including plays and other materials . I really need to get the rest of the collection cataloged but oh well. Fan , I love my collection of Dick and Jane. The nice thing is I quietly collected them over the years and never paid more than a few dollars for them. I looked on ebay once and choked. I use to visit second hand bookstores when I traveled to check out the shelves for used old text . There is one book I don't have that I wished I did. It was the fourth grade California history text I used when I was a kid. At the begining of each chapter it had a full page print of a famous iccidents in California history. I loved the one of Jedidiah Smith walking up to San Gabriel Mission . The First man from the Eastern United States in California . There was a great one of the Ranchos too . I can see them in my head as easy now as when I was a kid. Susan Most of the books I have read except the Civil War books that I have started collecting where I can and now am working though. |

So sad to say that the "Dick and Jane" books have nothing but unhappy memories for me of the four-room school house I attended with two grades to a room and the antique-style two seat desks we had. That all could have been all right, but I had a classic battle axe of a teacher who terrified me and was given to splintering a paddle on the butts of boys she disliked. Every long hour of every school day I sat in dread that she would choose me for that "honor." It is a miracle I came to love reading so much. It is a case of loving to read in spite of, not because of, my reading teacher. She did sucessfully inspire a life-long dislike for math, though. |

How very sad , Fan. I have a great first grade teacher . Not the prettiest that did all the cute name tags and everything but still a great teacher. We did fun things in class and she taught me to read. I suspect I was reading of sorts before that . My parents had placed books in my hand since I was in the crib. We lived in a two bedroom home for my first few years with my grandparents in one room and my brother, mom and dad and me in the other. Mom says she always gave us books to "read" when we went to bed the same as she and daddy did. I don't think my dad ever went to bed without a book to read before he slept. It was the only time he had to read during the long days he had. My aunt had given me the golden book dictionary for Christmas in Kindergarten. It had the words next to the picture . It also had pages that had pictures of things like clothes with the name next to each piece of clothing. I studied and studied that book. I still have the book in the bookcase , the spine taped together with some kind of duct tape my mother put on it when the spine broke. When the teacher, Mrs. Barnes said we were going to learn to read I was , "Okay now let's get this going ." We were divided into the reading groups. and started with a big book on an easel. Page one said Dick, then Jane , Then Dick and Jane and so on though the book til we knew the characters and the words. I learned to read during the period of look say method. I spend hours drawing boxes around the shape of the words to learn to reconized them. I don't remember any phonics til a workbook in third grade. Then it had to do with syllables and where the accents went on the words. Spend hours that year dividing words into syllables and putting the accent marks and short and long vowel marks on words . Let me tell you I hated doing that. By the way I was always a poor speller and still am . Thank heaven for spell check. We had a car that year that my mom could use so we also went to the library and got a library card. From then on we went once a week . I would come home with an arm load and read all week. I discovered Lois Lenski somewhere along the line in first grade, her Mr. Small books, then later her books about young people around the United States. I now own a set of her books that our school library was obsoleting . I liberated them. Books like Judy's Journey,Cotton in My Sack,and Paraire School which I read three times , I found Nancy Drew along the line. My friends and I would trade them back and forth. There was also a second hand bookstore in town. We would beg mother to take us there . I added not only Nancy Drew books to the growing collection of books but other finds along the way. Mom rarely said no to a book. In junior high my ninth grade English teacher introduced us to Tab books a scholastic book club. I would mark all the books I wanted and again Mom would rarely say no. She did finally put a limit on the amount of money but still I was in heaven books now came to me. By the time I was in high school one wall in my bedroom was covered with bookcases. When I taught I made sure my first graders got the advantage of Scholastic book clubs and several other book clubs that had monthly flyers. I am sure some parents hated the day the flyers came home. I was one of the worst offenders though. I built my classroom library from buying those books. When I retired I gave away many to the kids, donated many more to a school in inner city Long Beach and still have many in my personal library . I still am weeding some out, sending them to my niece in Maryland for her classroom. I admit it I am a biblio maniac but truth be told I am the daughter of two biblio maniacs and the sister of another one . Susan |

My Mother taught me to love books at a very early age. Some of my best childhood memories are of sitting in her lap as she read to me from the bible. When I was about Three she started taking me to the library and letting me pick out books. Then we would go home and read them together...by the time I entered Elementary school I was already reading real books while others were Dick and Jane-ing it. By third grade I was reading/comprehending at a college freshman level.Through the years reading has been my ace in the hole when it comes to amassing knowledge rapidly on a given subject. Reading has entertained, sustained, consoled, and enlightened me throughout my entire life thanks to a mom who took the time to share the love of reading with her son. My collection at this time numbers an estimated 400 books of assorted categories such as history(ancient to present day), sci-fi novels, horror novels, biographies, musical subjects, classics etc. My main problem is my inability to trade or sell a book once I've read it.....which would explain the old "Charlie Brown" collections I found in a box the other day LOL. I also can't seem to rid myself of certain historical magazine back issues either Last edited on Tue Feb 24th, 2009 03:13 am by Captain Crow |

I too got my love of books and reading from my mother, and at a very early age. I've never taken the time to actually count my books, but let me give an idea of why I think of my house as being more like a library. Downstairs, between the living room and dining room are three 3-tiered bookcases...filled with Civil War books. One case is all "Eastern Theater" books, and the other (naturally), the "Western Theater." Those are in the living room. In the dining room is Mom's "Longstreet Shrine" -- her books on Old Pete (who my Jack Russel is also named for), along with numerous trivia and basic reference books, above which hangs a print of Longstreet we bought her for Christmas one year. Upstairs, in the hallway, is another bookcase -- also filled with Civil War books, fiction and non-fiction. In my bedroom, I have several stacks of books covering various genres -- romance (historicals, Regency and paranormal -- hey, what's wrong with a sexy vampire now and then?), mysteries (Sister Fidelma series, Benjamin January series, and others), and a hutch-style headboard that is filled with books, books, and more books. My private stock of Arthurian fiction and non-fiction, Michael Moorcock fantasies, and my favorite Civil War/sci-fi books, the Lost Regiment series by William Fortchen. In the computer room / library, there are 6 more bookcases. Books in here include many and varied history books (Medieval history, Wars of the Roses, and my Richard III collection), my Sherlock Holmes collection, how-to and reference books, all my volumes pertaining to genealogy, and all my notebooks and other books related by my own Civil War specialty -- the 14th Ohio Volunteer Infantry and Battery H (Huntington's Battery), 1st Ohio Light Artillery. Biblio-maniac? Yeah, I guess I resemble that! And, oh yeah -- who the heck has the will power to get rid of a book, even if it's one you've read?

I am getting rid of mysteries and some other fiction as I don't have room for my Civil war books. My house is over flowing with books and I have run out of room. Wednesday I am having dinner with a young woman I have known since before she was born. I also taught her in first grade. She calls me Auntie Sue. She is a high school English teacher and theatre arts is another interest of hers. I took her to her first Shakespeare when she was 13. I am giving her about three or four bags of literature books . A book in the hand is worth two on the shelf. Besides all my adult books I have still a huge collection of children's books. I was looking at some of them today . I can't give those away. Some have writing in the front of the book such as the one that says I give you this book. My students use to give me books for gifts . Sounds like you are a sister of the book all right . Susan |

Oh I like that one. I also have Soo many books, so little time. I also have I do what I teach . . . I read. I also have a Powell's bookstore t shirt from Portland Oregon. I thought I had died and gone to heaven when I went to Powell's . It is one of the world's largest bookstores. It was so funny . My friend and I went there when I was visiting him. We had to park on the top floor of the parking structure. Four flights up and no elevator . As we were headed down he said to me if you buy it , you carry it Well as we headed back to the car I was carrying my tote bag I bought that was full of books and a t shirt . I started up the stairs dragging the tote. He said wait here . I will go get the car. Such a sweetie. I had gone into the store and sat down on the floor in front of the mystery section. At that time I was not reading as much nonfiction as I was mysteries. |

The Next Phase
The Battle of Gori is over. The battle of Tblisi is about to begin.
That is the grim reality of the on-going war between Russia and Georgia. Having successfully opened a second front in Abkhazia--and pushing out of South Ossetia--Russian forces routed Georgian defenders in Gori and are now advancing on Tblisi, only 50 miles away.
Late today, Georgian officials claimed that a "full-scale" invasion was underway, and their country was being "overrun" by Russian troops. Media accounts from Gori indicated that local defenses had collapsed, and Georgian forces were in full retreat toward Tblisi.
At this point, there seems to be little doubt about Moscow's ultimate aim: removal of the Saakashvilli regime, which has been a persistent thorn in Russia's side. While U.S. transports are redeploying 4,000 Georgian troops from Iraq, their arrival will make little difference in the battle to come. With an overwhelming advantage in firepower (and complete control of the skies), the fall of Tblisi is only days away, at best.
On his way home from the Beijing Olympics, President Bush issued his toughest statement on the crisis to date, calling Russia's advance "unacceptable" in the 21st Century.
I am deeply concerned by reports that Russian troops have moved beyond the zone of conflict (in South Ossetia), attacked the Georgian town of Gori and are threatening the Georgian capital, Tblisi," Bush said.
Mr. Bush and European leaders have pressed Russia to accept an immediate cease-fire, and mediation of its dispute with Georgia. But those pleas have fallen on deaf ears, as Moscow presses its attack toward Tblisi.
According to AFP, U.S. military officials expressed "surprise" at the speed and timing of the attack. One said there was "no obvious build-up" of Russian forces along invasion routes through South Ossetia and Abkhazia. But other sources suggested that the operation had been in the offing for several months, requiring extensive planning and preparations.
But, with Russian troops already deployed as "peacekeepers" in the region, advance elements for an invasion were already in place. Additionally, with Moscow's 10:1 advantage in personnel, there was little need to deploy additional units.
With the west offering little more than strongly worded statements, Russia has little reason to discontinue its offensive. Indeed, there is some debate as to what the U.S. and its allies could reasonably do, given the pace of the Russian invasion.
Well, for starters, NATO should consider a deployment of air defenses to Tblisi and other strategic locations in Georgia. There is evidence that the Russians are bombing indiscriminately, causing significant civilian casualties. Moving NATO Patriot batteries into Georgia, backed by alliance air and battle management assets, would prevent Moscow from attacking civilian targets and critical infrastructure, including those oil pipelines.
NATO undertook similar operations in the early 1990s, to prevent Serb fighters from striking civilians in Bosnia. Operation Deny Flight established constant air defense patrols that denied Serbian MiGs and Galebs from ranging into Bosnian territory, as they did in the early years of the conflict.
The recent attacks on civilians in Georgia provide a pretext for a similar effort now. Deployment of Patriot units and air assets would be accompanied by the transfer of new defensive weaponry to Georgian forces, allowing them to mount a more credible defense. Those deliveries would be provided by an air bridge through Turkey, allowing a steady flow of weaponry and humanitarian aid to our allies in Tblisi.
Unfortunately, that sort of campaign won't happen this time around. For starters, Mr. Bush and other western leaders have simply waited too long, and more importantly, none of them have the stomach for a fight with Russia.
Besides, even if NATO had the resolve to challenge Mr. Putin, the first Russian tanks will be in Tblisi well before that first Patriot unit could be shipped to Georgia. And, at the current pace of the Russian advance (and accompanying air campaign), airfields in Georgia will soon be unusable, preventing airlift operations, or the deployment of combat aircraft.

squaresA number is called a perfect square if it is the square of an integer. How many pairs of perfect squares differ by 495? (Order does not matter. So, the pair "16 and 9" is the same as "9 and 16".) I see you have graph paper. You must be plotting something #3 2013-01-29 15:12:56
Re: squaresExactly how many are there, I did 24, but it is wrong.. I see you have graph paper. You must be plotting something #4 2013-01-29 17:09:35
Re: squaresYou did not say positive numbers or not. There are 24 positive and negative. In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them. No explanations, just DGA. If you can not overcome with talent...overcome with effort. #5 2013-01-30 08:03:22
Re: squaresConsidering just positive integers, there are 6 factorizations of 495 into two factors: If I recall correctly this was involved in one of Fermat's methods of factoring odd composites. Have a grrreeeeaaaaaaat day! Writing "pretty" math (two dimensional) is easier to read and grasp than LaTex (one dimensional). LaTex is like painting on many strips of paper and then stacking them to see what picture they make. |

Rihanna in Air Jordan XIII "He Got Game"
July 5th, 2013 by Brendan Dunne | 21 comments
Last time we saw Rihanna rocking some Jordans she got into a little bit of hot water, as commenters were quick to point out the bogus pair of Air Jordan IVs one of her crew members had on. She seems to have to corrected that, seen here wearing the Air Jordan XIII "He Got Game" while her partner on this particular theme park ride is seen rocking the coveted Air Jordan 1 "Black/Metallic Gold", the most scarce of Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG styles to arrive this year. See the full photos of Rihanna below and let us know if you've got this Air Jordan XIII pair in your closet.

Olympic fears for Gorse Hill Nursery
While many retailers are looking for a boost in sales from the upcoming London Olympics, a garden centre in Kent is expecting its turnover to take a hammering.Gorse Hill Nursery, near Brands Hatch, will be virtually cut off between September 3 to 8, as the road it is on is closed for the Paralympics road race, taking place at the racing track and surrounding areas. The major A20 through Kent will also be closed on June 19 for a training day.
"It's going to be terrible," owner Thomas Dalligan told DIY Week. "It's going to cost us money.
"They don't know what they're doing," he said. "I've been told that the one-way system they're putting in and the tow-away zone are illegal. And, if you tell the security that you're going to the garden centre they have to let you through - even if you're a terrorist."
Mr Dalligan's is not the only business that will be hit. He says there are four business parks in the area which will also be affected. One company that will feel the effect, he says, is a specialist golfing centre. "If you want to go and get measured up for new clubs and can't go to that centre, you go somewhere else instead. If you're happy with the other centre, you'll go back there again."
He's sought compensation from LOCOG (the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games), which has merely passed the buck with his enquiry to GOE (The Government Olympic Executive).
How much will it cost Gorse Hill? Mr Dalligan can't say but he points out that about 80% of his business is passing trade. "There was a man came in the other day and spent £2,000 on conifers. If he couldn't come here because of the Paralympics, he'd have gone somewhere else. We'd have lost the £2,000 and possibly a customer for life if he'd gone to another nearby garden centre.
And Mr Dalligan doubts that Paralympians will be popping in for a pot plant or that sports fans from around the globe will be dropping by for compost.

Florida Marlins Announcer Would Like You To Know That's Scott Cousins
Like a kid calling out a player's name upon learning it or seeing him in public, Florida Marlins analyst Tommy Hutton screamed "Scott Cousins! That's Scott Cousins!" as Cousins' first career home run -- a grand slam -- was headed toward the many empty seats in right field. If you didn't know who Scott Cousins was before, you probably won't forget the name now ... for at least a few days. The call is a slight alteration of Hutton's "His name is ... Dan Uggla!" call, whenever the oft-mispronounced Uggla would homer with the Marlins.
Cousins is playing in lieu of Logan Morrison, who was placed on the DL with a strained muscle in his foot. Remember, Cousins reaped the benefits of a line drive off of Morrison's face while he was in the on-deck circle last year; Cousins pinch-hit for the hurt Morrison and subsequently picked up his first career hit. That's so Scott Cousins.

If I'm betting right now on a Penguins' final destination against pro sports' tendency to expand, I'm making Vegas an even-money proposition.
It's a hunch, but let's look at Las Vegas:
. . . the 29th largest city in the United States in 2000, but recent estimates suggest that the city's population has since surpassed that of Atlanta, Nashville, Washington, D.C., Louisville, Denver and Boston to place it 22nd in rank. It is likely to surpass Milwaukee and possibly a few other cities to reach the top 20 by the time of the 2010 Census.
Bigger than Milwaukee! Yowsa!
The gambling question has always made the proprietors of pro leagues look away from Vegas, but in recent years their cool sanctimony has withered under the changing climate. The NBA will hold its All-Star Weekend in Vegas in '07 (if only to ensure the likelihood everyone shows up for media day and indeed, the game itself, all-star games being the most overrated and bloated non-events on the calendar there is, in any sport). Casinos are a part of the landscape now, and indeed all three slots emporiums in the running for a Pennsylvania gambling license include to varying degrees a Penguins home in their pitches - the winner will be determined in a critical gaming board decision Wednesday (and for the latest on the boondoggle beat, always check in on Field of Schemes). The WNBA put a team in a casino, for heaven's sake (like the 07 NBA all-stars, no betting is allowed on games). And let's just raise a glass and leave it at that for the debt the NFL owes to Vegas sports books that are packed to the gills every Sunday afternoon.
This is not something that can be called an ill-conceived, doomed notion borne out of desparation, and it has nothing to do with sanctimony: If the NHL doesn't get there first, someone else will, and soon. Just a hunch, but I reckon the thought has done a lot more than crossed Gary Bettman's mind. It'll happen. Far greater hockey minds than this one are touting Kansas City, for one, if the Penguins do up and move. But Vegas, and a major pro franchise? It's just a question of when.

I hooked up with my buddy Jeff Strane, Captain Travis Palladeno, and super J to do some big fish diggin' in the middle grounds. For those of you who have heard of Captain Travis Palladeno of Live wire fishing charters you know he is the man when it comes to middle grounds fishing. After a 3 hour ride on the 45 foot phantom on glass calm seas we got to the 1st spot in 300 feet and instantly everyone was hooked up. The action continued all day. The only problem was that after just 30 minutes or so the entire boat had its aggregate grouper limit. So we skipped to a few wrecks and got some AJs for fun and also ran into some big blackfin tuna that couldn't resist the big Yo-Zuri Sashimi bull poppers. Most of the grouper and snapper were caught on the hookher arrow jigs, flutter jigs, and the no alibi alien jigs. We also got some on the electric reels once we got tired of jigging and reeling the fish up 300 feet. Its a good thing Jeff (The owner of team marine USA) was on board because we had to release a ton of grouper and snapper and his venting tools came in very handy plus he loves venting the fish so we would just catch them and slide them to Jeff to vent and release. I had a fantastic time on the water and it was nice to see Captain Travis and his 1st mate Super J take the day off and reel a few up. Since we had all the fish we could keep and we were all a bit whooped from reeling in all the fish we headed in early and got back to the dock 2 hours before dark. Thanks Jeff for dehooking and venting our fish; that was a big help. If anyone is looking for the middle grounds trip of a lifetime check out http://www.livewirefishingcharters.com/ you'll be glad you did. 50+ pound gags are common, along with 30+ pound red snapper, big warsaw grouper, tuna, dolphin, wahoo, sailfish, and more.
1st drop all 4 of us hooked up and out of the 4 we got two 40+ pound rustys
Jeff keeping busy
The #1 jig of the day for grouper and snapper was the big 9oz arrow jig by hookher tackle

We just got the big boat up and running. And my buddies are on the Grounds right now. They left about 4pm yesterday. can't wait to hear their report.

Wilderness Designation
Congress can give public lands permanent protection by designating them as wilderness. A wilderness designation helps ensure treasured lands from coast to coast are protected for future generations.
Wilderness designation is the highest form of protection the government can give to a public land. No roads, vehicles or permanent structures are allowed in designated wilderness. A wilderness designation also prohibits activities like logging or mining.
Wilderness is designated through wilderness bills and through local, on-the-ground campaigns. The revolutionary Wilderness Act, introduced in 1964, gives Congress the power to protect a public land with a wilderness designation.
Video: Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Wilderness Act
What is wilderness
Wilderness belongs to us. Protected wilderness has no roads, no development — it is our last unspoiled, natural refuge from the urban world. It's our job to make sure wilderness thrives for generations to come.
Why protect wilderness
Since the Wilderness Act passed in 1964, Congress has designated nearly 110 million acres of federal wildlands as official wilderness. Official wilderness has the highest form of protection of any federal wildland.
How we designate wilderness
We work with local grassroots coalitions on campaigns to build support for wilderness and other conservation designations, both on the local and congressional levels.
Issues and threats
There are persistent issues and threats related to wilderness, from fires to grazing. Because these issues each impact wilderness differently, they require individual analysis and attention.
Current campaigns and legislation
Every year, new and existing wilderness designation campaigns emerge to protect America's treasured wildlands.
Wilderness Act
The revolutionary 1964 Wilderness Act gave Congress the power to permanently protect public lands as wilderness.
