Would You Take a Pregnancy Test From the Dollar Store?
by POPSUGAR Moms 19
Last week while in the checkout line at the dollar store, I noticed pregnancy tests nestled between first aid kits and hydrocortisone cream. My first thought was "OMG! A dollar!? What if those are expired?!" but hey, a test is a test right? When I returned home I Googled the brand and found out I am not the only person wondering about it. Turns out plenty of people have tried them, most of whom found them effective (well at least the people in the forums I read). Would you trust, buy or try a pregnancy test from a dollar store?

I have used in the past and they do work. I got a positive one for my youngest whom is now 8 months old. You just cannot test too early.
I used the dollar store pregnancy test all three times that I was pregnant with my children so I can definitely say that they work. Why waste money on the more expensive brands just to get the same end result?
My friend brought a pregnancy test frm the dollar and it came out positive and she didn't go buy 1 of those expensive ones to confirm it and she is now 7 months prego... There no such thing as a false positive but there are such things as a false negative... baby dust to you
I used two Dollar Store pregnancy tests and kept hoping that the first was a false positive. (Those don't happen, just evaporation lines.)
I was going to follow up with a blood test, but after the second positive, there were too many signs to chalk up to coincidence (sore nipples, absolute fatigue, lack of a period, and morning sickness).
I can't wait until my partner is surgically sterilized and the kiddo's adopted.
I tried the exact preg test that's in that picture. It says wait a few minutes, but my results showed up in less than seconds. These things work and I think they're great for the money. If you're unsure, you can buy 12 more (since that's how much one regular tests costs haha)
I used them to find out I was pregnant with my twin girls. Of course I couldn't believe so I went out and bought the digital to tell me definately I was pregnant. For $1 per test, what can you lose?
Of course! If you chart for any length of time and get the urge to POAS (pee on a stick) at 6 days post ov, you quickly begin to look for cheaper tests to save $.
The best are the internet cheapies (ICs) which as literally the reactive strips with no plastic housing. They usually wind up being less than a dollar.

betty kraker
me too it was a faint yes but i deffently was i went and bought a few diffrent ones and they all said yes
lickety split
yes i would. with my third the pregnancy test was negative, i think, 3 times before it FINALLY tested positive. by then i was 3 months pregnant. the tests are all the same, why pay more? it isn't possible to have a false positive unless you have another medial condition that also needs attention.
i wouldn't...hopefully, though, i won't need another pregnancy test, as i'm preggo w/ #3 and done with reproduction!
i don't think i would waste the dollar, i know it is only a dollar but if you go out and buy and expensive brand after you use the cheap you have just defeated the purpose of the dollar store!!
Rally RE
the dollar store often gets a bad name. while some products are names you've never heard of, there are occasionally some you'll recognize and they are there because of too many being made and the company wanting to sell them instead of tossing them. i'd get a second opinion from the doctor no matter where i bought my test.
i would MAYBE try this based on all the true testimonials from people who have used them....but that's what i say NOW...if i were really worried i was pregnant i doubt the first place i'd hit up would be the local Dollarama....at that point, saving 14$ isn't as important as getting a true result! no matter what the prognosis, you'd still want a second opinion and you'd end up heading back out to the pharmacy anyway!
I used these. I am pregnant now and it gave me my first positive. I followed it up with a more expensive brand just to be sure :)
I've used these too. Of course when I got my positive, I went out and bought some other ones too, including a digital one.

The interior minister said he was also working with security officials to strengthen laws regarding rape and assault.
The brother of the woman killed in the attack said Sunday that their family would like to see a new hospital named after her to keep her memory alive.
He told CNN by phone from eastern India that the family's home village, located in a underdeveloped region, still doesn't have a well-equipped health care center.
"It will be really good if our village gets a hospital in her name. That will keep her memory alive and serve a cause," said the 20-year-old, who asked not to be named.
The rape victim was the eldest of three siblings, with two younger brothers. A physiotherapy student, she was expecting an internship at a hospital in the Indian capital in January.
"After her internship, she would have got a job. And that would have been a great help to our family," said the brother, himself a student.
The family is still struggling with the traumatic loss, he said, and feels that recent protests in several Indian cities in response to the attack are justified.
"You need these protests to bring about a change in laws. And laws should be made so tough that nobody should even think of committing such crimes. Rapists deserve death sentence," he said.

Nikon D600 Full Frame DSLR 24-85 mm VR Lens, 70-300 mm VR Lens, WU-1b Wireless Mobile Adapter, Nikon Case, 32 GB SD Card, Nikon School Guide to DSLR Photography - $2390 - Costco
In case you are considering selling the lenses here is a quick breakdown based on Amazon pricing:
24-85 mm VR: ~ $600 70-300 mm VR: ~$590 Perhaps realistically if you were to sell them on ebay or craiglist at 15% off, the body and the rest of the items could potentially be $1,300. Not too bad, except that's before tax. |
Costco Executive Members get 2% back as rebates: $47.80
Costco TrueEarnings cardholders get additional 1% back: $23.90 Amex offers: $25 statement credit back off costco.com orders over $100: $25 If you qualify for all of those you save an additional $96.7 Takes the edge off the tax bill I guess. |
This is a great deal IF you want the 70-300, if you don't, you might recoup 50-75 bucks over the other deals selling the 70-300 -Mike
Slickest to date: D200 - $600, Nikon 55-200mm - $18, Rocketfish/Lian Li case - $50, 2x PNY 120gb SSD - $56, Dell S2309W - $89, Nikon S6000 - $70, Gateway LT3119u - $200, WD 256gb SSD - $200, HP TouchPad 32gb - 170, Coolpix S3300 - $42, Nike Zoom XC 3 - $1, Wifi thermostat - $69, Oakley Fuel Cell - $55, Polarized Nanowire - $48 |
Costco's tax kills the deal.

$167 in sales tax and having to sell two lenses instead of one doesn't justify my buying from Costco. This kit costs $400 more plus the sales tax makes it $560 more...cant get that much selling the second lens. I was able to get 3% cashback with Mr. Rebates and 4% through the adorama VISA promotion making the Adorama deal even better.

The Ranche Restaurant
Online Reservations
What a wonderful setting.! Love the ambience and the country feel. The egg noodle dish with the shrimp and heirloom tomatoes was the best pasta dish I have had in a long time.
Our 16th Wedding anniversary was a great experience. One of the reasons was the amazing ambiance, excellent food and professional and personal service. We can highly recommend The Ranche Restaurant.
We had brunch last Sunday and we had an unsatisfactory experience with our food. Our potatoes was dry and my quiche's crust was a bit hard. My husband was really disappointed because he was expecting the same food quality when we had dinner a few weeks back.
We love this restaurant. We come here every year for a brunch and it has never disappointed us!
Lg. chairs, spacious dining area. Rocky Mt Charcuterie Board = great starter. Loved the Wild Boar. Happy to see Veg. and Dairy Free options. They offer Lactose Free Milk for Coffee. Wonderful evening for 2.
One of the few restaurants open on a Monday, and no better place to eat when the weather is fine,
One word..great!! What a lovely place to spend a lovely day with special friends..one from Argentina!!
Beautiful setting and ambiance with outdoor dining on a verandah or indoor dining in beautiful surroundings with a heritage theme. Good service. Great food with an interesting menu, even some excellent wines available by the glass. Wonderful for special occasion dining.
Enjoyed our Sunday meal, but the menu could have had more "lunch" items.
Best food , service and location in the city of Calgary!!! Be sure to order the Caribou if its still on the menu (seasonally changes occur);it was tender, tantalizing and it melted in your mouth like foie gras.
My husband and I took his parents to The Ranche for dinner. There was a wedding going on but the large setting of the restaurant let the bustle of the wedding remain unobtrusive to our dining experience. The menu offered unique choices with a range of meats and a vegetarian option. The food was fantastic and everything arrived in a timely manner. The serving sizes were perfect, leaving us satisfied but not stuffed. The server was incredibly nice and friendly. The restaurant (besides the wedding) wasn't too busy on the Sunday evening so we got to enjoy a peaceful dinner looking out the window at Fish Creek Park, where bikers and walkers were enjoying the outdoors.
The server was a fantastic gentleman. The good was all fantastic including dessert. The high price tag is well worth the quality goes above and beyond.
The Ranche is a special place for dining in Fish Creek Park. Fine dining in a beautiful, nature setting. It's a Calgary treasure.
We were asked if we wanted still or sparkling water after being seated. We opted for still. We did ask for additional water and were absolutely shocked when the bill came to find we were charged $8 per bottle, so $16 for water. Really - can't believe that the price was not disclosed until the bill came. Certainly will be part of the consideration when recommending this restaurant. Totally felt ripped off after an enjoyable meal.
Delicious! If it was socially appropriate I would have licked my plate clean!
Food was fabulous and serving the food and attention to our table was very professional but the music was too loud causing other patrons to talk loud making it difficult to carry on a conversation. I did ask for the server to turn it down but it did not happen.
The Seared Scallops Risotto with Blood Orange Reduction was incredible! Had 3 guests for lunch and everyone agreed to the OUTSTANDING food, service & ambience. I requested a table in one of the smaller rooms and it was perfect for a leisurely lunch! Looking forward to returning -- again! AMAZING!!!
Beautiful surroundings, amazing food, awsome service. Thank you!
The Ranche is the ONE restaurant in Calgary that we have consistently gone to to celebrate or have a romantic night out. The service is always extraordinary and the menu is exceptional, always changing and always amazing!
We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary at Ranche and it was a great place to go. It was just perfect. A fantastic place to celebrate special events/occasions.
It was an opportunity to be adventurous with our food choice and we were definitely not disappointed. Our waiter was patient and not over opinionated. We really felt there were no bad choices for food or wine. All the staff were attentive from the front door coming in and on our way out and that was so appreciated! Highly recommend the tartare and the wild boar shoulder.
Food and service were excellent, ambience was good although noise could be a factor depending upon numbers dining.
Went back to an old favorite for a dinner with my wife and as usual, the Ranche does not disappoint. The decor is warm and inviting and the staff are friendly, efficient and professional. We started with a scallop appetizer to share. The scallops were seasoned and cooked perfectly. Our entrees arrived and the wild boar shoulder with spatzle ranks as one of the best dishes I have ever been served. We selected a bottle of Sangiovese off their excellent wine list and were really pleased with the wine for the price. All in all a great evening out. I was disappointed to hear that the Ranche will be closing at this location on Dec 21 and moving over to the Inn on Lake Bonavista location. The heritage building and park location were special
The Ranch is set in a beautiful location - Fish Creek Park. Sad to hear your moving. Looking forward to a lake view. Food is always amazing! Enjoy
The dining experience was absolutely lovely along with excellent service by the waitress. Food was wonderfully prepared and presented. A must for everyone to experience over and over.
The food was exceptional, the presentations were awesome. There are many more items we want to try and will return to do that. The atmosphere is relaxed, private and romantic. We will return.
I've been going to the Ranche for a number of years - both food and service have consistently been good each and every time. The ambience is beautiful, so close to nature and just a very pretty setting. Am sorry to hear the are moving, won't be the same.
the food was excellent! Our server was very helpful.
We recently attended the Ranche Restaurant in Fish creek park for a birthday celebration. It was a very comfortable setting but is one that is not rushed. Dinner without dessert took 2 hours. The food was excellent and the ambiance is very nice. seats are reasonably private allowing for a more intimate expereince.
Magical place, outstanding service and delicious meals. Also original, unique interiors, heritage building placed in Fishcreek Park
We went to The Ranche for my husband's birthday on Saturday and we were not disappointed. Everything was excellent. I highly recommend the game tartar. sooooo delicious. We also really enjoyed the lamb and the caribou. Can't wait to go back.
This is an amazing atmosphere. It's in an old house in a provincial park but still in the city of Calgary. I took a friend from out of town here and she was really impressed. It was quiet in the restaurant for lunch but I'm sure their dinner's are not as quiet. Our food was amazing and our server was top notch!!
My partner and I shared the (smaller) charcuterie plate and I had the burger abd she had the chicken sandwich, all of which were really good. I ate at another restaurant, specializing in burgers, earlier the week and the burger at the Rnache is the way it should be done. My only complaint is the lack of different brands of beer on tap. Not everybody's crazy about the brand they currently carry. I'm also really NOT looking forward to them moving, as this venue is very picturesque!
Always a great dining experience. Delicious food and very professional staff
My GF and I tried Ranche for the first time on our aniversary this Tuesday, and were both blown away by all aspects of our dining experience. Let me first start by saying that your milage may vary, particularly wrt when you decide to visit. We arrived at 19:30 on a weekday. Our server was able to pay just the right amount of attention to us. The wine list certainly offers variety and there seems to be quality wines in all price ranges. Restaurant is in Fish Creek Park, however, it is quite easy to find based on the signage. Our starter and mains came out on time, the recommended wine was ideal and was served up promtly. The ambiance was excellent, and the flavor, scent, temperature and presentation of the food were excellent!
Food was great, service good, but the room temperature was cold, please turn up the heat..:) thank you.
Being big fans of Cilantro and Divino, we finally got to try the Ranche last Friday night. Service was attentive and friendly, very personable, not pretentious given the quality and price of the food. It is expensive, but the menu prices reflect the outstanding quality of the food. When they move at the end of the year I will continue to dine at their new location. Go here when you have 3 hours to spend enjoying the experience, from charcuterie, appetizers, mains, dessert, after dinner coffees and of course the wine. A+
The food and service were great! My only issue to note was it was a little cool by the window.
Excellent venue, superb food and outstanding wine selection. Topped a special night out. Highly recommended!
From the lovely promenade past the gas lamps to the warm and inviting interior the Ranche exuded warmth and hospitality. The techniques and exotic ingredients never detracted from beautifully composed and thoughtful dishes. Can't wait to return.
We wanted to come to The Ranche before it moved locations. We loved the building, ambience, food, service everything about the evening was wonderful. It is on the pricer side, but we knew that going in.
the Rocky mountain charuterie board was outstanding! we enjoyed this with a three cheese plate! mixed with an exeptional bottle of wine we were looking forward to tne main course? well it ened there we had the duck and the special which was Elk! we were very disappointrd the ducj was tough and Elk was flavorless and over cooked and dry! we wish we would have gone with the bigger appies and ended there.
Probably our last dinner in their current location. Food was very good to excellent, as usual, with the exception of the beet and goat cheese tart. Tart was very hard and bland. No discernible goat cheese flavour. Service was attentive without being intrusive.
The food was delicious. Sitting by the fireplace was nice on a cold day. Service was great. Nice location at Fish Creek park but will moving .
I booked dinner for a group of colleagues from BC,. Ontario and the Maritimes - they were all charmed by the Ranche. The pace was just right and the ambience was warm and comfortable, capturing the essence of Alberta and Christmas all in one, They were very impressed with the options for local game on the menu, and of course by the quality, taste and presentation of the food we consumed.
I have been going to the Ranche for 13 years and I have never been disappointed yet,
For many years now, I have taken great pleasure in introducing friends to the unequalled ambience and almost magical setting of The Ranche. Hidden away in a one hundred and twenty year-old ranch house in Fish Creek Park, The Ranche is always predictably enchanting, and guests from as far away as Argentina, Connecticut, and California have never failed to have been captured by its elegance and superb cuisine. The current proprietors of the restaurant itself have found themselves in the unenviable position of having to find other accommodation - and have done so at the former Inn on Lake Bonavista, soon to re-emerge as The Lakehouse - and so anyone who has not yet experienced a true gem has only until December 21st to do so. Run!
A group of seven of us enjoyed brunch at the Ranche Restaurant on a Sunday morning. None of us were disappointed in our choices, and the chef was accommodating in making a switch from the traditional english muffin to cornbread for the gluten-intolerant diner in our group. The only thing that was somewhat disappointing is there is little choice on the brunch menu for a vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-intolerant guest. The building itself is a beautiful historic site. Although we were a bit disappointed to learn that the restaurant will be moving up the hill to the Lake Bonavisita neighbourhood early in the new year, it was good to hear that the venue will be used for special events in the future - a very suitable use for it.
This was our first time at The Ranche, a great experience. The staff were outstanding, the setting was romantic, the food was amazing. We did however feel that it was a bit over priced. We visit many 5-star hotels and restaurants and often times the price seems fair. Yes, the food was amazing but again, the prices were a tad on the high side. We would go again, but it would be limited to once or twice a year max based on the cost.
took my babe out for a nice romantic dinner. i had never been before and neither had she. we started with the half order charcuterie board which was amazing. It offered new and interesting cuts of wild game although i would have liked some crackers to go with it perhaps. She had a Malbec which she said was delicious. For our mains we had the wild boar and rib eye steak. both were amazing. I had the steak but wish i had ordered the boar as well. we had the sticky toffee pudding for dessert which was a bit small for 2 people to share but was also very delicious. I recommend this for special occasions but it may be too expensive and intimidating to take somebody here on a first date.

This is my flag I created for Antarctica. I created this flag because there is no flag for Antarctica. I used the moon and the sun because in Antarctica it is only dark for twenty-four hours or light for twenty-four hours. The background is blue on the right side of the picture because of how it is on the same side as the sun. I made the left side have stars and be darker because it is night. I wrote Antarctica on the right side because of how it looked blank and no one would recognize the flag without the name of where it represents.

The family of a man killed in Edmonton under circumstances police are treating as a homicide says it is "heartbroken and devastated" by the news of his death.
Dale Maloney, 33, was shot and killed in the parking lot of a restaurant on Monday, according to the Edmonton Police Service. Maloney is reportedly from Goulds in St. John's.
"We, the family of Dale Maloney, are trying to come to terms with the senseless, violent death of our beloved Dale in Edmonton," read a statement released to media today. "We are heartbroken and devastated, and find it incomprehensible that there could be such a cruel disregard for human life and dignity."
The family is asking that media respect its privacy at this time.
According to police, an autopsy has confirmed Maloney died form multiple gunshot wounds. An investigation into the incident is ongoing.
The Edmonton Police Service has released the name of a man who was shot and killed Monday in a parking lot in the area of Jasper Avenue and 113 Street as Dale Maloney, 33, reported to be originally from the Goulds area of St. John's.
Police in Edmonton say his death has been deemed a homicide. An autopsy confirmed he died from multiple gunshot wounds.
"It appears that the victim and suspect(s) did not know each other, and the fatal shooting was precipitated by a verbal argument," the police said in a prepared statement.
Homicide detectives continue to investigate.
Maloney's family in St. John's has apparently been inundated with media telephone calls since his death and a spokesperson said today the family doesn't wish to speak publicly.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the Edmonton Police Service at 780-423-4567. Anonymous information can be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.tipsubmit.com/start.htm.

What happened: Police Chief Michael Connor told town officials Thursday that he will retire July 1.
Why it matters: Connor, who has been with the Police Department since he started as a patrol officer in September 1983, said in a letter to Town Manager Bill Zell that he plans to work until his retirement. He has been chief since Jan. 1, 2005.
What they said: "I am excited about my impending retirement but wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and the Aberdeen Board of Commissioners for all the opportunities that I have experienced working for the town of Aberdeen," he said. "Aside from faith and family, working for the town of Aberdeen as a law enforcement officer for the last 30 years has been one of my greatest joys."
Other business: Commissioners asked staff members to start working on plans for an arts entertainment district in town. The district would be home to an entrepreneur-focused economic development project.

Dieses Buch gibt es in einer neuen Auflage:
The book begins with the basic Lua elements and structures and then advances through control structures, functions, iterators and coroutines. Iterators and coroutines are one of those language features that may confuse the first timers, but the author manages to show the concepts and inter relations between them in a way that clarified the issues even for a seasoned Lua programmer. Alas, make no mistake, the whole first part is totally worthwhile for non beginners.
The second part of the book shows one of Lua biggest assets: tables and metatables. I've seen people sneer at Lua at first glance and then convert themselves to Lua evangelists simply for the features of tables and metatables. The author does his magic and makes a whole set of apparently complex concepts flow by the reader as fluid and logical as they can be.
By the way, fluency is arguably one of the major benefits of this book. The reader is taken from substrate to substrate of the Lua way of life without even taking notice. Every end of chapter left me with the satisfaction of having been presented with one more facet of Lua and with the tranquility that everything was falling in place at the right timing.
After tables and metatables, the book presents the concepts of Packages and Object Orientation in Lua. If you had any doubt ever that Lua was able to sustain "real" Modular/OO programming, be prepared to replace your dogmas. The book not only clarifies how to do it in Lua but also shows how easy and clear the coding gets.
The author ends the second part of the book with a great chapter on Weak Tables. I have to admit that I was somewhat refractory to Weak Tables before I read this book, but after this single chapter I was converted. May the name "weak" not influence your judgment on those Weak Tables. They are great, and the book showed more about them than I was expecting.
The third part of the book focuses on the standard libraries. Those would be the Table, String, I/O, Operating System and Debug libraries. Instead of repeating the contents of the Lua reference manual, the author manages to show lots of new information about the libraries by the use of examples and clear explanations. There are some points in Lua that can indeed be quite idiosyncratic at a glance, but this book is more than enough to clarify every one of them.
The fourth and last part of the book brings us the Lua C API. For the beginner Lua programmer this part will probably be skipped, but for the average programmer and most of all for the hardcore Lua explorer, this part will be pure delight. C programming is not for the faint of heart, but having a Lua interface for your C library is akin to the jackpot of embedded languages in my opinion.
This part of the book shows that the task of wrapping C code for Lua is not only feasible, but easily done once you grasp the fundamentals. Have one thing in mind, this was no small task for the author. Describing such an plethora of resources and how to use them in six chapters demands a clear yet straight to the point approach, and once again the book shines through.
Step by step the author shows how to deal with the Stack, to get arguments from and return values back to Lua, to handle tables (even those big ones), to call Lua functions from C code, to call C functions from Lua code, to handle strings, to handle state (using the registry, references and upvalues), and last but not least to use userdata types and metatables in C.
The last chapter of the book brings two examples of the use of the C API, one offers a directory iterator and the other a really nice example of binding an existent library (expat) for Lua use. Lots of my questions on the C API were dismissed with those two examples.
I should also reserve a praise for the book index. Not only I've found it complete but it is easy to understand some details of the Lua structure only by glancing at the index pages.
Being one of the first readers of this book was not only a great honor but also a great surprise. As a Lua old timer, I wasn't expecting to be presented to so many novelties, subtleties and jewels of programming in almost every chapter. Was I wrong...
If you have not seen Lua until now, this book is THE starting point.
If you are acquainted with other versions of Lua but have not studied version 5.0, this book is a great shortcut for your new endeavors.
Finally, if you think Lua is your native language and no book could teach you something worthwhile, think again. I was grateful I didn't skip not even one paragraph.
We've got the language. We've got the book. Let the revolution begin... :o)
Written by the chief architect of the language, this book is aimed at programmers whishing to approach or to better understand Lua and the (often unsuspected) capabilities offered by a fully dynamic language.
Despite its deceptively small size (260 pages) and a plain, readable style with an eye-resting typesetting, "Programming in Lua" packs an impressive amount of information peppered with small, clear code examples to help digesting it; it reminds me of my favorite programming book: the K&R (Kernighan and Ritchie's "The C programming language"). It is a multi-level book that always gives something new at every reading.
Rather than offer a catalogue of functions (left to the downloadable reference manual), the book's four sections introduce capabilities, concepts and interesting techniques that may surprise programmers used to static languages.
The first section is devoted to the language itself, including not-so-common subjects like dynamic typing, multiple results, first-class functions, closures, iterators and coroutines. The following section shows how to build all sorts of data structures, from simple arrays and lists to packages and objects, using Lua's "tables" and the powerful idea of "metatables" that makes the language easily customizable.
The third section introduces the standard libraries (they are actually optional, e.g. in microcontroller applications) with special emphasis on the simple but versatile pattern matching capabilities.
The fourth and last section is different: aimed at system programmers, it explains in detail how to interface Lua and C, both to add new functions to Lua and to use Lua inside a C program (possibly called from programs written in other languages).
"Programming in Lua" covers version 5.0 of the language, which is now mature and stable. I am using Lua both as a general-purpose 'light' language for system tasks or small programs, and as an embedded language inside C++ applications: the combined power of the two languages is impressive. I liked this book a lot, I learned much from it and I've done it the honor of a place besides my well-thumbed K&R.
The excellent book "Programming in Lua" by Roberto Ierusalimschy provides developers with a broad summary of the language. The author includes a myriad of small examples, each of which is well focused and easily grasped. Different solutions to a given problem are often accompanied by benchmark figures. Prof. Ierusalimschy has an educator's gift for finding the appropriate level at which to write, and readers will appreciate the conversational nature of his writing. Unlike many programming language books, "Programming in Lua" has a strong content-to-fluff ratio throughout.
The book provides valuable explanations of language and library features which even the careful reader of the Lua reference manual might miss. In addition, over twenty C library entry points are discussed (and, thankfully, indexed) which are not mentioned in the reference manual.
It is hard to conceive of a software project which would not benefit from using Lua, both as an embedded component and as a standalone interpreter of scripts. The book "Programming in Lua" is valuable for anyone with an interest in this lovely language.

While watching the latest disc of "Wanted: Dead or Alive" I was struck by how often stock footage is used. That goes for the same sets.
The first three episodes on the disc used the same establishing shot. (I know that wouldn't be obvious to anyone watching them a week apart.) But even with that they often used the same set for what ever town they were in. Change a few signs and it's good to go. They even use the same footage of McQueen riding down this wet trail past some familiar looking trees.
It saves money but it gives me a laugh wondering how many times they can use the same shot.

Step Brothers
(R; 98 min.) Crisp, well-written and satisfyingly crude high-concept comedy sort of based on The Parent Trap. It has the usual livery of a Judd Apatow comedy: the '80s references, the thrift-shop T-shirts, the general air of spoiled male folly. But the film moves faster than usual; maybe the Jon Brion soundtrack seems to give it a pace. And the large ensemble makes sure we don't get too much of the overgrown boys (John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell, a fine comedy team) who have been living at home with their single parents for decades and are now forced to live together when the folks get married. As Ferrell's mother, Mary Steenbergen is a divine straight-woman. Richard Jenkins lizard-like reactions to his son Reilly's idiocy are reliably hilarious.

So we decided to include our six year old Ellie and we headed to Kona for some much....MUCH...needed R and R.

The media reaction -- we'll focus too much film.
Her that's Watergate yeah.
Didn't -- focus too much on that speech or so too.
Its called you don't look.
Howard Kurtz pointed out.
That the president -- to share a niece Christine.
With Chris dornin in the right -- shoot out right and that that -- of itself has not exactly a ringing endorsement of the speech and I think if you or any liberal.
You liked the speech a few people love to speech David Ignatius of the Washington Post.
Actually said well I guess winning means you don't have to try very hard to make news.
General liberals liked it and conservatives surprise surprise did not like his speech and you had dead John they'll take out of bright -- pointing out.
That immediate.
He says he's blaming us of course the media have covered up.
All of president Obama's failures most Americans do not know that the economy is actually only going through its you know -- And ranked as the media -- absolutely he'll get out -- Kirsten Powers stimulant.
Normally put -- Fox News contributor normally put the liberal camp who said cliche after cliche she was underwhelmed.
And -- general it was pretty much what you would predict and then senator rubio Watergate -- Mean you can't help sort of yes and -- it fun.
And you -- heat -- it he made fun of their radios stereos and that's innocent senate -- that well I don't fit his.
Foreign policy he's now going to Poland spring yeah.
I thought -- horrific that's that is much his you've got a very good.
Like old friends yeah.
But I -- -- happy I am now on Foxit at Fox News I look at the time.
Nobody was interested foreign policy which made it for me -- asked -- -- disappointing speech because I still think that that's the kind of thing that always comes around and gives you that left hook you know president likes to talk about it and it always winds up being what the country concentrates on right even when we say we want to concentrate on the -- Right and there there are so many crises developing still and ended yesterday on the obviously.
We had the demonstration of one of the big ones when North Korea conducted this nuclear test.
We -- talking to Gordon Chang.
About it yesterday right here and he made a point that others have others have been talking about as well.
Is that we don't shouldn't just be -- back North Korea and well eight is.
Doing it -- with any long range missiles it's gone all nuclear technology but whom it might be sharing that nuclear technology when it.
Exactly and that raises the big IA issue -- Iran we know that there has been extensive cooperation on the military front.
Between North Korea.
And that Iran and the issue is was the North Korean test.
Was that kind of test of what could be Iran has bomb designs -- And if that were so -- they were cooperating at that level would that not mean that Iran will not only have.
Soon if it enriches further immaterial sorry has enough.
Fissile material for a bomb but also now a bomb design isn't wouldn't have to test and does this bring us closer to me.
Red line.
President Obama now -- Iran will not be permitted to crash.
Right and if -- -- -- finally looking guy here as well Bob I guess is the question is is at a red -- in North Korea that we act that do we act against Iran I mean it's.
These these are problems which are coming home to -- pretty quickly they are anything but your -- -- I feel this -- who correctly.
That's these are these issues are being kind of slipped under the rug right now what do.
Ideally what you would like this city is.
Of global.
Coming together of the superpowers so that.
You know you kind of tag team this and you said he did you get you -- -- turning into this mix -- you have to -- Chinese.
They have the ability to actually.
Seriously influence North Korea if they get serious about frankly they also had the ability to influence the -- Because they are importing.
Energy exports marine currently.
And you know -- -- -- -- it's in really bringing down these the economic curtain around the country.
And potentially destabilizing that regime would yeah it would -- on the point of possible now would cost a currency collapse already.
And you know that's probably your best that we're actually dealing with this rather than a military strike this point you -- -- I think I was right you know they could think Christian is since.
They have so much to lose the Chinese why have -- not -- more proactive you know what will it take to get China involved and for.
To persuade China that it really needs to deliver a message that the north Koreans cannot -- All on the North Korea's fuels imported from China we -- have an absolute stranglehold.
On your -- economy I wish to exercise -- so we'll see if they do you know what.
Right okay Judy Miller told he's contributed right to get your thoughts -- -- -- and you can see you more of your calls us Saturday's 2:30 and 11:30 eastern.
On FOX News Watch hosted by -- Scott thanks very much about -- going to see you.

Ten Questions to Ask About The Passion of the Christ
The 2004 movie produced by Mel Gibson, The Passion of the Christ, is one of the most popular and controversial films of our time. These questions will help in thinking through the movie, or in discussing it with others.
1. Do you know why Jesus had to die?
When learning from The Passion of the Christ the facts about Jesus' suffering and crucifixion, it's essential to understand the reason for it. One of the most important of the many reasons given in the Bible why Jesus had to die was to receive the wrath of God in the place of others. "For all have sinned," God says in Romans 3:23. And because God is just and holy, He must punish those who have sinned. But because He is also loving, He was willing to send His Son—Jesus—to take the hammer blow of His wrath so that others might receive His mercy. When Jesus allowed Himself to be spiked onto that wooden cross, He was accepting God's curse so that sinners could receive God's blessings forever. As Galatians 3:13 puts it, "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us—for it is written, 'Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree.'"
2. Do you know who really killed Jesus?
There is no single, earthly source to blame for killing Jesus. The Jewish religious leaders hated Jesus, so they arrested Him and delivered Him to the Roman official, Pontius Pilate, for execution. He could have released Jesus, but Pilate, too, shares responsibility because he succumbed to the influence of yet a third party who contributed to the death of Jesus, the crowd in Jerusalem who kept shouting, "Crucify Him!" (Matthew 27:23). In the end, however, it was sinners like me and you who killed Jesus. "While we were yet sinners," the apostle Paul tells us, "Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). No one can point a finger at any other person or group for the death of Jesus. Our sins were the reason Jesus had to be crucified.
3. Do you understand the role that God the Father played in the death of Jesus?
Ultimately, it was God the Father who killed His Son, Jesus. The Bible clearly says that Jesus was "delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God" (Acts 2:23). Jesus did not die by mistake. Although our sins made Jesus' death necessary, God brought it to pass. So in God's sending Jesus to receive His wrath so others could receive eternal life, sinners are saved from God, by God.
4. Do you realize why Jesus' death was different from the death of everyone else in history?
The death of Jesus was unique because His life was unique. Since Jesus never sinned, He never had to die; rather He chose to die. And because Jesus never broke the law of God, He could die as a substitute in the place of lawbreakers. As 2 Corinthians 5:21 explains, God the Father "made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21).
5. Do you know why Jesus cried from the cross, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" (Matthew 27:46)?
When God in His justice laid the crushing guilt of sinners upon Jesus, God in His holiness then had to reject His own Son as though He were a sinner. As Jesus was suspended between earth and Heaven, the prophecy of Isaiah 53:10 was fulfilled: "But the Lord was pleased to crush Him, putting Him to grief if He would render Himself as a guilt offering."
6. Do you know why Jesus' last words were, "It is finished" (John 19:30)?
Because of His love, God sent Jesus to be the propitiation—the wrath-taker—for the sins of people who did not yet love Him. "In this is love," says 1 John 4:10, "not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins." Once He had taken our guilt and God's punishment, Jesus triumphantly declared to His Father, "It is finished," and died.
7. Do you see the relationship between Jesus' death and His resurrection?
The resurrection of Jesus vindicates all His claims. Anyone could claim, as Jesus did, to be the only way to God (John 14:6). But Jesus substantiated this and all His other claims by doing something no one else has ever done—rising from the dead, never to die again. Moreover, by not leaving Jesus in the grave, God showed that He accepted His Son's death as a substitute for the death of others. The Bible is plain that the cross of Jesus, without the resurrection, would have meant, "your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins" (1 Corinthians 15:17). "But now Christ has been raised from the dead" (1 Corinthians 15:20), as proof that Jesus' death in the place of sinners satisfied the requirements of God's justice.
8. Do you realize what the death of Jesus can do for you that you cannot do for yourself?
First among many things His cross alone can do for you is this: the death of Jesus can make you righteous in the sight of God. No amount of good that we do can atone for our sins or earn us a place in Heaven. And if we die without receiving the benefits of Jesus' death, the wrath of God will fall on us forever. Conversely, the Bible speaks of those who have experienced the benefits of the cross as those who have "been justified by His blood," and declares that they "shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him" (Romans 5:9). To be "justified" means more than having all sins forgiven. It also means to be given credit for living the perfect life Jesus lived. Only a perfect life earns entrance into a perfect world with a perfect God. And only through the death of Jesus can we get the perfect life of Jesus that we need to enter heaven.
9. Do you understand the central message of this movie?
Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God, was crucified as a substitute for sinners, and rose from the dead to be King over everyone and everything forever.
10. Do you know the biblical response to the message of The Passion of the Christ?
It's summarized in one of the best-known and best-loved verses in the Bible: "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16).
Many people will have deep, but merely temporary, emotional responses to The Passion of the Christ. Instead, may the Lord grant you to find in the greatest evil ever committed—the death of Jesus—the greatest, richest, and most satisfying blessing ever offered—God Himself.

I recently deleted my Twitter, Instagram and Facebook (well, I "deactivated" my Facebook because I couldn't bear to loose all those contacts for the sake of networking). I'm not sure entirely why I did it, I guess I just felt like it. I'm always torn between the social media advantages and the lameness of it all. I'm curious – what do you think about applications like Twitter, Instagram and Facebook?
Anyhow, amidst my hipster-diva-moment of deleting about half of the applications on my iPhone, I of course had to immediately find some new ones to fill all the sad empty spaces, and that's how I discovered Rhonna.
Rhonna (Designs) lets you add cute little stamps and frames to your photos. It also includes filters and masks to make your pics look oh-so-vintage, or saturated, or aged .. or whatever your Insta-crutch is. (Hey, I'm not hating, I live for Lo-Fi.) The options are limitless and it all really depends on what you can think up. For a girl who loves Photoshop, I think it's really cool that it lets you dabble in design, not just picture editing.
Here are a couple of pics from this summer that I used with Rhonna.
My little sister Shelby at Lake Don Pedro this Labor Day.
My kitten Marina in front of the Jackie O Reservoir in Central Park.
Miss Megan bike riding from Venice to Marina Del Rey last Saturday afternoon.
Has anyone else used the Rhonna app? If so, I want to see how you embellished your photos!

This camp experience provides Scouts with a six day leadership experience. This course is designed to motivate youth to learn servant leadership and to use the Scout Oath and Law as their guides in making ethical decisions. Scouts will live in a patrol during their time at NYLT-Silver Moccasin. Working with youth from around the council, Scouts will use leadership skills to solve problems and build confidence in leading others. The week concludes with patrols having developed a vision of the true meaning of leadership.
NYLT-Silver Moccasin prepares youth leaders to be better Troop Leaders. NYLT instills the values of Scouting in each Scout as they develop the ability to lead in whatever situation they find themselves. It develops lifelong skills to benefit them now and in the future.

Penfriend will soon be available supporting Arabic text. It has been developed with the kind support of Mada in Qatar. The Arabic lexicons and on-screen keyboard will be available in Penfriend XL, and a special Arabic version of Penfriend XP which includes a localised user interface.
Penfriend 4.1 offers new innovative features including:
- A Homophone option in the prediction window to support literacy
- Abbreviation expansion with up 12 expansions for a single two letter abbreviation. Can also be used as a communication aid.
- Type on hover to help mobility for the on-screen keyboard
- Speak on hover to support typing with the on-screen keyboard
- A transparency option so you can see all your desktop Windows and icons when Penfriend is running and discretely use Penfriend without anyone knowing!
If you already have Penfriend XL version 4 then you can download the update for free via the website link in the copy of your program.
Homophone Support
Homophones, sometimes known as 'confusables', are words which have a similar sound but differ in spelling and meaning. Examples of homophones include 'there' and 'their', 'where' and 'were' and so on.
Confusable word hints
With over 400 homophones in the English language, similar sounding words add depth to a language but they can also be the cause of great frustration. Spell checkers can't be relied upon where these troublesome homophones are concerned. Confusables are often highlighted by people who experience dyslexia as a source of annoyance and confusion as you could accidentally end up with a properly spelled word, but the wrong word!
With Penfriend's new option 'Confusable word hints' (go to View and Preferences) you can now see and even hear the difference between confusable words, so there's no excuse to get 'pair' and 'pear' or 'bear' and 'bare' mixed up anymore.Abbreviation Expansion Now accepts unlimited length and number of abbreviations. Up to 12 can be displayed at one time.
Major expansion to the possibilities with abbreviation expansion.
Below is an example of how Abbreviations can now be used. – Here a disabled person is using abbreviations to communicate with a carer. By typing one abbreviation tv up to 12 related expansions can be shown and either entered into a document or spoken. Here by typing tv they have 12 requests to a carer for help with the TV. Below is abbreviation window when the 12 abbreviations have been created.
When they then type 'tv' in their document, the 12 instructions all appear in the predictor window. Note that tv does not appear as it has been banned in the lexicon.
If they have set Penfriend to speak on a right click then the phrase they want will be spoken when they click on it.
The same system can be used for common phrases, email addresses, URLs, postal addresses, to be read, entered or both. In English one could use qa, qb, qc as abbreviations as there are no words beginning with these combinations. So you could use qa as the abbreviation for 12 addresses. If qa is banned then it will not appear.
In French there are virtually no words starting with 'k' so ka, kb etc can be used for sets of 12 abbreviations.
On-Screen Keyboard
Penfriend's on-screen keyboard has always been a favourite feature with our customers, particularly those who use an alternative mouse such as a trackerball. We have now introduced 'Type on hover' to help mobility and 'Speak on hover' to support typing with the on-screen keyboard, offering increased accessibility and usability to our customers.
In Version 4.1 we improved the on-screen keyboard which now has an option to allows individual letters and function keys to be echoed or read back.
This is a particularly useful feature for individuals who are leaning to type such as early years or even those who are new to a computer and are learning to type. Speech feedback on the on-screen keyboard is also very beneficial to those who are struggling with literacy and require audio feedback to help scaffold their learning.
Transparency feature
And for those of you who'd rather be discrete about using Penfriend we've included a new transparent feature which means you can still see all your desktop windows and icons when Penfriend is running and you can use your favourite assistive technology without anyone else knowing….but you!
Penfriend's suite of literacy tools
When was the last time you looked at Penfriend? Penfriend features a comprehensive suite of literacy tools and so much more! Penfriend can support people of all abilities and ages.
If you have a literacy difficulty such as dyslexia then Penfriend can help with spelling and grammar. As well as predicting words when you type, Penfriend will read text aloud from websites, documents, in fact any Windows text-based program.
The Penfriend Blog
With the release of the new Penfriend Blog there are now video tutorials to get you up and running with Penfriend in no time at all. And if you'd like to keep up-to-date with what's happening at Penfriend then you can follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
Who can Penfriend benefit?
Penfriend software benefits users who have dyslexia, visual impairment or physical disablilities, including Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis, Motor Neurone Disease, Stroke, limb deformities and any condition which impairs the ability to write with a keyboard.
Penfriend helps users to write faster by predicting the next word they want to type, allowing faster writing for longer tasks, promoting better spelling and grammar and encouraging users to overcome low self esteem and become more confident writers.
Features include powerful word prediction, on-screen keyboard, screen reading, lexicon editing and the ability to learn new words as you type.
