Perhaps they went to Nepal for leg 5 after Bangladesh. The countries border one another.
I think there are many countries which are possible on all continents. Here is a list constructed to the best of my ability to remember which countries teams have visited and which they have not:Continent of AntarcticaAFRICA (36 countries not visited yet) Algeria Angola Benin Burundi Cameroon Cape Verde Central African Republic Chad Comoros Congo Congo, Democratic Republic of Djibouti Equatorial Guinea Eritrea Gabon Gambia Guinea Guinea-Bissau Ivory Coast Lesotho Liberia Libya Mali Mauritania Niger Nigeria Rwanda Sao Tome and Principe Sierra Leone Somalia South Sudan Sudan Swaziland Togo Tunisia Uganda ZimbabweASIA (25 countries not visited yet) Afghanistan Bahrain Bhutan Brunei Burma (Myanmar) East Timor Iran Iraq Israel Jordan Korea, North Kuwait Kyrgyzstan Laos Lebanon Maldives Nepal Pakistan Qatar Saudi Arabia Syria Tajikistan Turkmenistan Uzbekistan YemenEUROPE (19 countries not visited yet) Albania Andorra Armenia Belarus Bosnia and Herzegovina Bulgaria Cyprus Georgia Latvia Luxembourg Macedonia Malta Moldova Monaco Montenegro San Marino Serbia Slovakia Vatican City N. AMERICA (17 countries not visited yet) Antigua and Barbuda Bahamas Barbados Belize Cuba Dominica Dominican Republic El Salvador Grenada Guatemala Haiti Honduras Nicaragua Saint Kitts and Nevis Saint Lucia Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Trinidad and TobagoS. AMERICA (4 countries not visited yet) Colombia Guyana Suriname. VenezuelaOCEANIA (12 countries not visited yet) Fiji Kiribati Marshall Islands Micronesia Nauru Palau Papua New Guinea Samoa Solomon Islands Tonga Tuvalu VanuatuThat gives me a total of 113 countries not visited yet. There is a lot of opportunity to have new countries in each and every Amazing Race, even with the necessary limitations due to safety risks.
I think Tunisia has been visited in TAR1 already? They did 2 legs there~In my opinion, I would like to see TAR visits 1 or 2 new countries each season, but it would be better if they can really show some culture of those places. Take Bangladesh as an example, last time the visit of Dhaka really makes me disappointed, I think I did not know much about that place even after the whole leg, everywhere seems only chaos to me.I am happy to see them visit Spain finally! I am very surprised that they never thought about exploring this country, and no leg has been done in Madrid yet! Also, Andalucia like Granada would be an interesting place to go.Out of the un-visited countries, I think TAR could go to Nepal, Latvia, Bulgaria etc. which could be interesting and not dangerous to go
I think this is the first season with no new countries at all. I think it is odd and a little off putting. WRP/CBS usually tout their new country lineup in the early advertisements so I don't understand the decision.I know that after twenty seasons you mat expect them to run out of locations but I don't think this is true. There are many places they could have gone and they only need one or two new ones. Maybe there were some changes or logistical problems that we don't know about. Whatever the reason it should be interesting to see how they sell it to the viewers. I'll bet that they don't mention it because the common viewer probably won't think much of it.
I think Leg 8 will be Latvia. 1. Its a new country, which every season has had so far. 2. I think they put the 2-leg countries early so they wont have to do them while in europe. Yet, to make it easy for production to stay ahead of teams, neighboring countries like Russia/Latvia and Spain/France would make sense. Just speculation though .

There's an entire leg in the USA. It counts.
You never know. At the season 20 finish line, Phil said 9 countries instead of 10. Sometimes they dont count the USA or charter flight/marked car/random pit stop countries with no actual tasks.

New PV Standards Initiatives Aim to Lower Manufacturing Costs
PV Automation Committees Formed to Focus on Equipment-to-Equipment Communication, Cell Transport Carriers, and Single Substrate Tracking
SAN JOSE, California — October 6, 2010 — SEMI announced the recent formation of new PV Automation Standards Committees in Japan and Europe. The new PV Automation Committees will initially focus on efforts related to equipment-to-equipment communication, cell transport carriers, and single substrate tracking, while the existing PV Committee will continue to handle non-automation issues such as material specifications and test methods.
The Europe Committee is co-chaired by Tino Korner (Q-Cells), Eberhard Teichmann (Peer Group) and Martin Zennig (Jonas & Redmann) while the Japan Committee is co-chaired by Terry Asakawa (Tokyo Electron) and Emi Ishikawa (Atelier Ishikawa).
The new global PV Automation Committee currently has two Task Forces, but activities are anticipated to expand, as the PV industry is rapidly recognizing the essential role that Standards play. The Carrier Task Force is working on standardization of equipment load ports and transport systems, resulting in both direct and indirect cost savings throughout the whole supply chain, less risk during ramp-up, and less effort for integration of production lines. The PV Equipment Interface Specification (EIS) Task Force is focusing on reducing costs at all points where software interfaces exist between different pieces of equipment.
Advanced automation of the PV manufacturing process will make a major contribution to reduced costs for solar cells and panels. Automation will increase throughput, improve product quality and yields, and lower maintenance and operational expenses. No single company can fully realize these benefits without working closely with their suppliers and their competitors. Highly automated and advanced manufacturing systems are composed of multiple equipment types, technologies and supporting products from best-in-class suppliers from around the world. Enabling these different processes, products and technologies to work seamlessly and cost-effectively together requires industry standards.
Industry standards are also a natural consequence of technology roadmaps. Early efforts by the Crystalline Technology Manufacturing (CTM) Group, a special interest group made up of major European cell makers and operating under SEMI PV Group, have already identified specific areas where a standardized approach to manufacturing challenges will be beneficial, allowing collaboration in non-competitive areas, empowering the industry to focus on innovation.
The SEMI International Standards program plays an essential role in enabling low cost, high-quality manufacturing. The new global PV Automation Committee is an important milestone for the industry. Since 2007, SEMI's involvement in PV Standards has grown to include over 10 task forces with participation from over 400 industry volunteers from major companies across the manufacturing supply chain. Committees are now in place in Europe, Japan, North America, and Taiwan. The SEMI PV Standards Committee has now developed and published12 Standards for both crystalline and thin-film operations, with over 20 other activities underway. This is a major accomplishment but significant challenges remain.
Pre-competitive collaboration is difficult, involving hard work by industry experts, but it creates significant benefits for the industry as a whole, for companies participating, and for individuals involved in the process. If your company wants to be involved in efforts to shape the future of PV, learn more by visiting www.pvgroup.org/standards.
The SEMI Standards Program, established in 1973, covers all aspects of semiconductor process equipment and materials, from wafer manufacturing to test, assembly and packaging, in addition to the manufacture of flat panel displays, photovoltaic systems and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). More than 3,000 volunteers worldwide participate in the program, which is made up of 20 global technical committees. Visit www.semi.org/standards for further details about SEMI Standards.

repository pt. 1
With apologizes and reverence to Kate Miss, Diana Moss, etc.!
I love the SS 2012 lookbook for Montreal label Ursa Minor. The photography (by Francesca Tallone) is precisely the kind that makes me think "I wish I had taken that photograph." Pitch-perfect tones. More information can be found on Elizabeth's blog.
1. Photography by Valerie Chiang.
2. I came across a detail of this painting on Pinterest and can't seem to find the name of it or the name of the gallery that owns it (or if it's in a private collection, etc.). It sure is beautiful, though. It's by Adolphe Étienne Piot (1850–1910) and the lady in it reminds me of Michelle Williams.
3. An English rose via Wildfox.
4. A beautiful hanging by FleurLux, found via Ashley Helvey.
5. Elizabeth (above) recently posted about her friend Dara's jewelry, and I immediately snapped up one of the necklaces. It might end up in my box of things I'm saving for the wedding (I seem to be superstitious about these things and don't want to use them in advance!).
6. I had to share this: Karl Lagerfeld's new kitten Choupette, three rosebuds tall, via V Magazine.
(Background image of a detail at Céline spring 2012)
A few other things:
-This blog was selected as an "up and coming" blog at Alt Summit, so if you've been reading for a while, give yourself a pat on the back!
-An interview with me for Ace Camps is here.
-I contributed to a lil' post about winter on Francesca's new Lawrence journal with some of my favourite ladies.

HAVANA (AP) — A U.S.-based press freedom group urged Cuban authorities Friday to drop charges against a writer for an anti-Castro website who reported detentions of government opponents and criticism of the country's response to Hurricane Sandy.
The Committee to Project Journalists said Cuba filed charges of "disseminating false information against international peace" this week against Yaremis Flores for articles published on Miami-based CubaNet, a news and commentary site that takes a critical line against President Raul Castro's government.
Among her writings, she noted criticism of how authorities dealt with Hurricane Sandy, which hit eastern Cuba on Oct. 25, killing 11 people, damaging more than 200,000 homes and knocking out power for hundreds of thousands of people. Power was out for days in Santiago, Cuba's second-largest city.
Flores' arrest led a group of at least 16 dissidents, including noted blogger Yoani Sanchez, to gather at a Havana police station Thursday and demand information about her case. They were taken into custody and freed after a few hours.
CubaNet's website says its mission is to support free press and a civil society that can promote democracy and "balance the power of the government."
Cuban officials, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday evening, consider such efforts counter-revolutionary. They frequently dismiss the island's small but outspoken community of dissidents as mercenaries in the pay of foreign interests.
Last week, the Foreign Ministry accused the U.S. Interests Section in Havana, which Washington maintains instead of an embassy, of engaging in subversive activity by providing classes and Internet access without permission.
Cuba cleared its jails last year of the last of 75 activists and social commentators sentenced to long prison terms in a 2003 crackdown. But rights monitors complain that quick-hit detentions are increasingly common, with authorities holding dissidents for a few hours or up to a day or two before driving them home uncharged.
"Cuban authorities talk about reform, but they still treat simple criticism of government activities as a crime," Carlos Lauria, senior Americas coordinator for the Committee to Protect Journalists, said in a statement. "Yaremis Flores should be released immediately, the charges against her should be dropped and any protester still in detention should be freed."
The Inter American Press Association had just named Sanchez its delegate in Cuba when she was detained alongside others including Guillermo Farinas, former winner of the European Union's Sakharov human rights prize.
A pro-government blogger who uses the online name Yohandry Fonta accused the activists of trying to stir up unrest.
"The pro-American blogger Yoani Sanchez was arrested ... for disrupting public order and social indiscipline," Fontana wrote.
By late Thursday, Sanchez tweeted that she was once again walking the streets of Havana after a few hours in custody.
"I am fine!" Sanchez wrote. "Thanks for the solidarity."

Design Specification: Multiple Bindings File Support
Currently MOXy provides the ability to augment the annotation metadata with an XML bindings file. This enhancement request is for the ability to apply multiple binding files to a model.
Sample use case: 1. Initial metadata is specified with annotations. 2. Second version modifies the metadata with an XML bindings file. 3. Subsequent versions continue to modify the metadata with new bindings files.
With the metadata layered in this way a JAXBContext could be created to represent any version of the XML document.
- Must provide an API to allow multiple bindings files to be passed into the context creation
- Be able to merge multiple bindings files into a single unified XmlBindings
- Must coincide with JPA rules for overrides with multiple orm .xml files.
Currently MOXy allows external bindings files to be passed in through a map of properties. MOXy allows one bindings file per package. The files can be passed into through the properties in 3 formats
- A Map of Input Sources keyed on package name.
- A list of Input Sources, one per package.
- A single Input Source.
To support multiple bindings files for a single package, this will be changed to allow the following additional options:
- A Map of Lists of Input Sources, keyed on package name. (Map<String, List<Object>>)
- Allow the list of Input Sources from #2 above to contain more than entry per package.
Example: Using a single list of bindings:
.... FileReader bindings1 = new FileReader("base-bindings.xml"); FileReader bindings2 = new FileReader("override-bindings.xml"); List<Object> bindingsList = new ArrayList<Object>(); bindingsList.add(bindings1); bindingsList.add(bindings2); Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<String, Object>(); properties.put(JAXBContextFactory.ECLIPSELINK_OXM_XML_KEY, bindingsList); JAXBContext ctx = JAXBContext.newInstance(new Class[]{Employee.class}, properties); ....
Example: Using a Map for multiple packages:
... FileReader fooPackageBindings1 = new FileReader("foo/base-bindings.xml"); FileReader fooPackageBindings2 = new FileReader("foo/override-bindings.xml"); List<Object> fooPackageBindingsList = new ArrayList<Object>(); fooPackageBindingsList.add(bindings1); fooPackageBindingsList.add(bindings2); FileReader barPackageBindings1 = new FileReader("bar/base-bindings.xml"); FileReader barPackageBindings2 = new FileReader("bar/override-bindings.xml"); List<Object> barPackageBindingsList = new ArrayList<Object>(); barPackageBindingsList.add(bindings1); barPackageBindingsList.add(bindings2); Map<String, List> bindingsMap = new HashMap<String, List> bindingsMap.put("foo", fooPackageBindingsList); bindingsMap.put("bar", barPackageBindingsList); properties.put(JAXBContextFactory.ECLIPSELINK_OXM_XML_KEY, bindingsMap); JAXBContext ctx = JAXBContext.newInstance(new Class[]{Employee.class}, properties);
Override Rules
When multiple bindings files are encountered for the same package, a unified Bindings will be created by merging the content of all the files. The following rules will be used for merging:
- XmlSchema
- For values such as namespace, elementform, attributeform, the later file will override
- The list of namespace declarations from XmlNs will be merged into a single list containing all entries from all files.
- In the case of conflicting entries (the same prefix bound to multiple namespaces, or the same namespace assigned to multiple prefixes), the last file will override the declarations from previous files win.
- JavaTypes
- The merged bindings will contain all unique java-type entries from all bindings files
- If the same java-type occurs in multiple files, any values that are set in the later file, will override values from the previous file
- Properties on each java-type will be a complete override. If the same property is referenced in multiple files, the last file in the list will completely override that property.
- Class-Level XmlJavaTypeAdpater entries will be overridden if specified in a later bindings file
- Class-Level XmlSchemaTypes will create a merged list. If an entry for the same type is listed in multiple bindings files at this level, the last file's entry will override all previous ones.
- JavaEnums
- The merged bindings will contain all unique java-enum entries from all bindings files
- For any duplicated java-enums, a merged list of XmlEnumValues will be created. If an entry for the same enum facet occurs in multiple files, the last file will override the value for that facet.
- XmlJavaTypeAdapters
- Package-Level java type adapters will be merged into a single list. In the case that an adapter is specified for the same class in multiple files, the last file's entry will win.
- XmlRegistries
- Each unique XmlRegistry entry will be added to the final merged list of XmlRegistries
- For any duplicated XmlRegistry entries, a merged list of XmlElementDecls will be created
- In the case tha an XmlElementDecl for the same XmlRegistry class appears in multiple bindings docs, that XmlElementDecl will be replaced with the one from the later bindings.
- XmlSchemaTypes
- XmlSchemaType entries will be merged into a unified list.
- In the case that an XmlSchemaType entry for the same java-type appears at the package level in multiple bindings files, the merged bindings will only contain the entry for the last one specified.
Open Questions
- In EclipseLink JPA multiple mappings files will be merged, but overrides at the mapping level are only allowed in a file specifically named "eclipselink-orm.xml". If a mapping for the same java property appears in multiple other mappings files, an exception is thrown. Should EclipseLink JAXB also support only merges between types and only allow mappings to be overridden by a specifically named file ("eclipselink-oxm.xml")?
- How should the "isMetadataComplete" be treated in the case of multiple bindings files. If specified as true in one or more of the files, should that assume that the merged binding of all files is metadataComplete?

Despite improvements, 289,000 women still die every year from complications at birth and 6.6 million children do not live to see their fifth birthday, including nearly 3 million newborns. At least 200 million women and girls are unable to access family planning services that would allow them to control when they have children.Recent data published in The Lancet Every Newborn Series indicate that 15,000 babies are born and die every day without ever receiving a birth or death certificate.
Responding to this crisis, more than 800 leaders and public health experts from around the world opened a landmark two-day meeting in Johannesburg to review new data and call for accelerated action to improve maternal, newborn and child health. The Partnership for Maternal, Newborn & Child Health (PMNCH) 2014 Partners' Forum was opened by Graça Machel, Chair of PMNCH and African Ambassador for Committing to Child Survival: A Promise Renewed, who is making her first public appearance since the end of her mourning period after the death of her husband, Nelson Mandela.
Despite all efforts, there is still much more to be done," said Graça Machel
The conference was precceded by a youth forum on Saturday. It

House votes 312-0 to honor Marathon bombing victims, rebuking TremblayBy GARRY RAYNO
State House Bureau
May 08. 2013 9:06PM
CONCORD - The House voted 312-0 Wednesday to honor the victims and heroes of the Boston Marathon bombing and formally disavowed comments made by one of its members.
The vote was a rebuke to Rep. Stella Tremblay, R-Auburn, who claimed the attack was the work of a federal government "Black Ops" team and questioned whether bombing victim Jeff Bauman was in pain or shock after the bombing.
Bauman, whose father and stepmother live in Concord, helped law enforcement identify one of the bombing suspects, Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Bauman lost both legs and suffered hearing loss from the blast.
Tremblay claimed Bauman's lack of pain or shock in a picture widely circulated after the bombing was one reason she blamed the federal government for the attack.
Tremblay had an excused absence and did not attend Wednesday's House session. Attempts to reach her Wednesday afternoon were unsuccessful.
Tremblay's comments outraged many from Republican Party and legislative leaders to Democrats and independents. Members of her own party called for her resignation and said her remarks do not represent the views of the GOP.
The resolution (HR 9) noted that "recent remarks have taken the focus away from honoring the victims and celebrating the heroes of this tragedy."
The resolution passed Wednesday did not name Tremblay but clearly addressed her remarks.
"The House does hereby disavow any unfounded speculation or accusation that dishonors those affected by the tragic events in Boston," the resolution reads.
The resolution also praised Bauman saying "the New Hampshire House of Representatives does hereby commend Jeff Bauman as a hero for his actions and wishes him a quick recovery."
Tremblay apologized for her remarks about Bauman "if he was hurt." But she continued raise questions about both his injuries and federal government involvement in the bombings.
In the aftermath of the April 15 bombing Tremblay said Bauman "was not in pain; he was not in shock. If I had had those type of injuries, I'd be screaming in agony," she had said.
She has called for an Arizona group called the Cold Case Posse to look into the case saying the investigation of the bombing and the injuries sustained by victims should not be handled by the FBI.
The Posse is well know for claiming President Barack Obama's birth certificate was fraudulent.
Tremblay also made headlines earlier this session when she said in a legislative hearing that former President Woodrow Wilson agreed with Adolf Hitler's view on race.
House Minority Leader Gene Chandler, R-Bartlett, House Majority Leader Steve Shurtleff, D-Concord, and House Speaker Terie Norelli, D-Portsmouth, sponsored the resolution, which House members applauded after it was read.
Gov. Maggie Hassan praised the House resolution in a tweet later in the day.

Thursday, December 6
by Kevin Pelton
On Wednesday, Kobe Bryant made history as the fifth member of the NBA's 30,000-point club. An analysis of active players' chances of getting there suggests the group is in for expansion in the next decade or two.

If we looked purely at performance so far, which freshmen would rise to the top as the best in Division I? John has the answers, starting with Anthony Bennett, Jordan Adams, and Nik Stauskas.
by Corey Schmidt
Teams like Washington, TCU, and Rhode Island are slowing things down dramatically this season, and Corey Schmidt checks in to see how that's working.
Tuesday, December 4
Turning the exercise of plotting NBA teams by Offensive and Defensive Rating into a monthly exercise, we find that there is much more spread in the league on offense than defense so far.
Mark Gottfried's bunch entered the season with a ranking they couldn't live up to, but in his feature for ESPN Insider John says the Wolfpack can still be the best team Raleigh's seen in years.
Monday, December 3
A few weeks ago, the 2010-11 Heat was a trendy comparison for this year's Lakers. That talk has cooled despite the teams' similar records and a common factor the Lakers hope will prove telling.
If you thought teams like Arizona State and Virginia Tech look a lot different this season, you're right. As Corey explains, the Sun Devils and Hokies (among others) are suddenly playing at a much faster pace.
In his feature for ESPN Insider, John says the Rams, Longhorns, and Bruins can all be formidable in March (the NCAA and Myck Kabongo willing).

Select Femap Elements by Adjacent Faces30 Dec, 2012 By: Alastair Robertson
Femap Tips and Tricks: Create a group by selecting a number of elements that have adjacent faces.
Editor's Note: This tutorial courtesy of Siemens PLM.
In the absence of any underlying geometry, finite element selection can become challenging. Femap includes many capabilities that can aid element selection, and in this example we'll see how to create a group by selecting a number of elements that have adjacent faces.
When selecting the elements in the Entity Selection dialog, click on the Pick ^ button, select By Faces, and a second Entity Selection dialog will appear.
Here you need to select the general group of elements that includes the subset of elements you want to end up with. In this case, you can Select All and click OK.
In the subsequent Face Selection dialog, select the Adjacent Faces radio button, pick one of the element faces in the model, then click OK.
Back in the first Entity Selection dialog, highlight the selected elements using the Highlight icon button.
In this example, all of the elements of the top face have been selected up to a corner in the model. We want to select all of the top surfaces, so we can Cancel out of the operation and repeat the above steps to get back to the Face Selection dialog.
The Face Selection dialog contains an angle tolerance that controls what Femap considers to be the adjacent element plane from element to element. The default is 20.0 degrees, and by increasing this tolerance we allow Femap to include elements around less acute angles in the model. A setting of 80.0 should suffice for this example.
Click OK and highlight the selection once again in the first Entity Selection dialog. Now we see that all of the desired elements have been captured in the selection.

For most reluctant-DBAs there's a certain degree of mysticism or 'unknown' about the SQL Server backups that they get 'roped' into managing. Moreover, for the uninitiated, there are a number of things about how SQL Server works that can seem counter-intuitive. Such as auto-closing and auto-shrinking databases – things that may seem logical to Systems Admins who are tasked with 'optimizing' resources but which, in reality, are easily some of the worst things you can do to your SQL Server databases.
SQL Server and Disaster Recovery
Just as counter-intuitively: while the data in a SQL Server database may be all sorts of mission critical, more backups of that data may actually JEOPORDIZE your ability to recover a database after a disaster – because MORE backups of SQL Server databases may, in fact, result in less coverage and protection.
For example, one thing that I see fairly regularly is that reluctant DBAs who are handed ownership of SQL Server databases typically just don't get the kinds of training or background needed to help them demystify SQL Server Backups.
So, what commonly happens is they'll spend a bit of time with their 'new responsibility' and commonly use SQL Server Management Studio to create a Maintenance Plan that (among other things) executes FULL backups at let's say… 1AM every night.
Then, what commonly happens is plenty of time passes with no problems, incidents, or issues. And the sense of urgency to figure out how these backups work gets pushed into the background – by more immediate problems and day-to-day needs.
Then, commonly, these same reluctant DBAs commonly make a critical mistake a bit later on which is while reviewing their normal system-level backups for some Well-Known-3rdParty-Backup-Solution(TM) they decide "Hey, this 3rd party solution that has saved my bacon with file-server or AD or Exchange backups in the past actually supports native SQL Server backups; I'm going to go ahead and provide EXTRA coverage and protection for my SQL Server by having this tool back it up every morning at oh… 5AM – just in case – and as an EXTRA bit of coverage in case my normal SQL Server backups don't work."
When More is Actually Less
Additional time passes without incident or issue – and it's easy for reluctant DBAs to forget they've actually got MULTIPLE tools creating FULL backups every day. And since they don't realize that this is a disaster waiting to happen, it's only natural that they eventually forget about their 'more is less' problem.
And the problem, of course, with this scenario is that the 5AM backup being made by that trusted 3rd Party tool is actually RESTARTING the log-file chain or log-sequence.
And while this may not seem like a huge problem because the log-chain gets restarted by that 5AM trusted-3rdParty-Tool's backup, the reality is that a reluctant DBA dealing with a full-blown disaster might EASILY forget that their 5AM 'extra' backup is even occurring at all. Because, in their mind, it's a 'bonus' backup or contingency that provides them with 'extra' coverage – NOT something that is actually, actively and regularly 'breaking' their backup chain each and every day.
Worst case scenario: After trying, multiple times, to unsuccessfully apply transaction logs after 5AM, they may just give up and tell end users "Sorry, there's something wrong with the backups, and I can only recover the database to what it was like at about 4AM this morning – all work since that point is lost."
Best case scenario: Even if a reluctant DBA in this position is able to remember their 5AM (third-party) backups, they'll typically only do it after banging their heads a few times into error messages when trying to apply log files taken after 5AM. (And, to the uninitiated, these error messages have to seem pretty cryptic. I've been doing this for years now and commonly feel that I have to take off my socks and count-out on my toes what these errors are saying in order to make heads or tails of them when I break the log-chain order myself.) Accordingly, even in a best-case scenario it's incredibly likely that DBAs have spent too much time figuring this problem out at the wrong place and time – thus dealing a serious blow to overall recovery time.
Preaching to the Choir
The biggest problem, here, of course, is that I'm preaching to the choir. All DBAs with a fundamental understanding of how SQL Server backups work know NOT to even RISK having multiple processes running around making FULL backups because they don't want to address the additional complexity of having to mentally juggle multiple, potential, log backup chains.
Therefore, best practices for backups are to avoid 'extra' backups in the mix (which is the entire reason why the COPY_ONLY backup was provided) – for fear of 'reducing' backup coverage or protection (or for fear of CONFUSING coverage to the point where you encounter more down time or risk decreased coverage).
All of that said, it's one thing for DBAs to KNOW these details. It's another thing entirely to know whether or not you might be susceptible to this kind of problem. Because another version of this 'More is Less' problem is where savvy DBAs understand this problem implicitly and don't PERSONALLY implement dual backups – but where they may have missed that someone in IT/Operations decided to recently point a 3rdParty backup solution at their databases as a means of providing 'extra' coverage in a well-meaning gesture.
As such, the only way to know if your backups are 'safe' from the 'More is Less' problem is to regularly test and validate your backups by means of regularly recovering them. Something I regularly 'harp upon' whenever I talk about backups – and which I blogged about in my post on Dilbert, Billiards, the US Navy, and SQL Server Backups.

146 Question, Approximately 45 minutes
For decades, a lot of emphasis has been put on certain aspects of intelligence such as logical reasoning, math skills, spatial skills, understanding analogies, verbal skills etc. Researchers were puzzled by the fact that while IQ could predict to a significant degree academic performance and, to some degree, professional and personal success, there was something missing in the equation. Some of those with fabulous IQ scores were doing poorly in life; one could say that they were wasting their potential by thinking, behaving and communicating in a way that hindered their chances to succeed.
One of the major missing parts in the success equation is emotional intelligence, a concept made popular by the groundbreaking book by Daniel Goleman, which is based on years of research by numerous scientists such as Peter Salovey, John Meyer, Howard Gardner, Robert Sternberg and Jack Block, just to name a few. For various reasons and thanks to a wide range of abilities, people with high emotional intelligence tend to be more successful in life than those with lower EIQ even if their classical IQ is average.
This emotional intelligence test will evaluate several aspects of your emotional intelligence and will suggest ways to improve it. Please be honest and answer according to what you really do, feel or think, rather than what you think is considered right in this test. Nobody is there to judge you, just yourself…and besides, there are many trick questions.
Read every statement carefully and indicate which option applies best to you. There may be some questions describing situations that you may feel are not relevant to your life. In such cases, select the answer which you would most likely choose if you ever found yourself in such a situation.
After finishing the test, you will receive a Snapshot Report with an introduction, a graph and a personalized interpretation for one of your test scores. You will then have the option to purchase the full results.

Contrasting radically from the surrounding suburban landscape dotted by houses and small factories, Perimeter City is an urban development set along Beijing's 5th Ring Road and designed to have all the facilities, amenities and character of an organically-evolved city.
The mixed-use program, totaling more than 230,000 sq m GFA, encourages residents and visitors to live, work, and play, while aiming to stimulate the region significantly and lay the foundation for wider urban development in the area.
The site is centrally anchored by a theme park, while a 200-key hotel, fashion exhibition hall with a runway and offices, residential towers, a multi-screen cineplex and an elevated city park are all woven along the site's perimeter. All of these elements interact with the theme park through strategically planned views.
The project, particularly the piazza and central theme park components, was inspired by the scale and cultural role of the Piazza delle Erbe in Verona, Italy, which the design team used to illustrate design principles of creating a development that promotes organic future growth.

Born on June 11, 1955 at Orleans, he is the youngest of four children.
His father is a farmer and his mother works in a bookshop.
When Pierre-Marie was 14, he took an interest in painting to the detriment of his studies. From the age of 16, he worked at various jobs from agriculture to working in a bookshop. At this time he first met the painter Bernard Saby
In 1975 he exhibited his works in Orleans for the first time. In 1978, he visited Italy and familiarized himself with Quanto Cento, Italian Renaissance and Etruscan art bringing back several sketches of his travels. In 1979, he settled down in Paris and started carborandum etchings at the Pasnic workshop following the procedure of Goetz used by Coignard, Clave, Miró and Tapies. About this time he created an illustrated book with the poet Jean-Jacques Scherrer with whom he was acquainted. He also met with James Coignard about this time. Since 1980, he has been working with Bruno Roullard, an editor in Paris who exhibits his work in the USA. He is also good friends with the painter Jean-Claude Lemercier.
He has had many major exhibitions at prominent galleries in North America and i ...(PLease Login to see the complete biography.)

The Child Thief by Brom is hands down going to be one of my favorite books of 2010 (yes even though it came out in 2009). It took me a little over a week to actually read this book, but that's because school got in the way. What Brom did for this book is he took the character Peter from Peter Pan and he put him in a blender with Satan and some amazing artwork. This book is without a doubt not for kids.
The prologue to the story gives you an idea of the kinds of children that Peter looks for to "play" with. The girl keeps getting raped by her father and who comes to save the day? Indeed Peter. Now start Chapter 1. You meet Nick who is the main character other than Peter. He got sick of this drug dealer, Marko, being in his house and taking over his family's life, so he takes Marko's drugs and runs. Again enter Peter to save the day. After a bit of convincing, Nick agrees to go with Peter to Avalon which is the faerie world Peter comes from. In Avalon, Nick finds out much more about Peter and his band of "devils". You get introduced to many new characters in this dark world including Sekeu, Ginny aka The Witch, Modron aka The Lady, and Ulfger. The beginning part of this book switches between Nick's current adventure in Avalon and Peter's past so you get to understand him better. The story is very graphic and vulger so if you live with anyone that is critical in your taste of books then I don't recommend reading this one while you're with them.
Shifting gears to the characters real quick. I'm only going to talk about 3 characters here. First is Peter. At first glance you aren't sure whether to like him or not. He tricks his victims into coming to Avalon just to use them for his own personal gain, but at the same time he really cares about his devils. He just cares about something else a bit more. Nick was a pain to read about. I didn't like him very much at all. He was very critical about what Peter was doing to people, even when he himself wasn't much better. The one thing that I will say good about Nick is even though the idea of being a devil didn't appeal to him, he did find a reason to stick around, and her name was Cricket. I'm really not into romance and really this wasn't a lot of romance, but he did pretty much everything he could to protect her. Lastly there is Sekeu. She is kind of amazing. For people that like really great, strong female characters then this is their girl. She has been a devil for a while now and she is hands down my favorite character. She knows how to keep the other devils in line, and she can hold her own in a fight.
I think overall this was a fantastic book that definitally deserves a looking at. If you don't think you can handle this kind of book then at least check out Brom's art books. I know I will. I very much want to get all of his other books. Good luck to all the other books that are slated to come out this year because this will be a hard book to beat.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (movie)
So many people have said that this is the best of the Potter films, fans and actors alike. I disagree whole-heartedly. No it's not because they didn't follow the book word for word. To be honest most of the parts that they did take from the book acurately was fairly well done, such as the romance between Ron and Lavender and Dumbledore's death scene. Now let's start at the begining when i first had problems with the movie. It starts with the front cover of The Daily Prophet showing a picture of Harry and Dumbledore walking out of the Department of Mysteries. That's all fine and good. It reminds those that haven't read the book (or seen the movie since the 2 years it came out) that there was a big battle and Sirius Black died and yatta yatta. Then they show that Ollivander get's taken away by Death Eaters, but to me it was hard to tell that was even Ollivander. You only saw him once in Sorcerer's Stone briefly, and after that he's kind of like dust in the wind. You couldn't even see the shop's name so people that forgot about Ollivander had to wait until Hermione mentioned it a bit later to realize who it was. For those that recall the very first chapter of the book when the ex-Minister of Magic (Fudge) visits the muggle Prime Minister, well that's not in the movie. I thought it was quite important because you meet the new Minister of Magic (Scrimgeour), and i thought it was important to see that the Ministry tries to recruit Harry (i think that's important because it show's Harry's decline, and loyalty to Dumbledore). Now we are getting to Bella (Bellatrix) and Cissy (Narcissa). They did this scene kinda acurately as well, but i thought it would have been good for people that haven't read the books to see how good Snape is at playing both sides. His explainations to Bella's inquiries were very well thought out, and i enjoyed that. Of course they left that out. That scene was probably a grand total of 15 minutes. Cissy sobbing to Snape about Voldemort's plan being too difficult for Draco alone, Bella taunting Snape, and Snape accepting the Unbreakable Vow. Introducing Harry Potter now, since he is the main character and all. He's in a train station. No not at the Dursely's. He's in a cafe/dinner place and a waitress flirts with him (yes he flirts back). What?!?!?!? Let's not forget he's in love with Ginny. Yes Dumbledore does still retrieve him. He apparates in the subway, and they head off. Slughorn's retrieval is up next, if you can call it that. They walk into the house he had momentarily taken over, review the damage, Dumbledore finds him, goes to the bathroom for maybe 3 minutes, Harry looks at Slughorn's pictures briefly (with Slughorn making slight comments), Harry does interject that Hermione is a muggle-born and the brightest witch of their year, then Harry and Dumbledore leave. No there was no convincing. They walk in, Dumbledore uses the bathroom as planned so Harry and Slughorn can chat, they do chat (but not about Dementors or Voldemort), then they leave and Slughorn just decides to come back. Now we're at the burrow. That scene was okay. Quite humorous in fact. Although i did wish to see Bill and Fleur. During their trip to Diagon Alley Hermione notes Ollivander's ownerless shop. One thing i was kind of excited about was you get to see Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. They did have Fred and George pick in Ron (of course) which was a comforting scene. Then the trio follow Draco and his mom to Borgin and Burkes. Yes i said his mom. And no they don't use the invisibility cloak, and no they don't use extendable ears, oh and they can see everything that's going on. They climb on the roof of a nearby shop and decide to take a peek and they see exactly what Draco is looking at (vanishing cabinet). The best part (insert sarcasm) is they see a bunch of Death Eater's walk in too. So they pretty much already know that Draco is planning something. The train scene was dull. They didn't even show the Slug Club's first get together so you don't know why anybody is invited to parties except Harry (kind of obvious). Harry does slip into the Slytherin car, and Draco does see a suitcase move so Harry does get Paralyzed. No Tonks doesn't ifind him though. Luna does. There is no Kretcher in this movie. Oh well. Didn't like him anyways. Harry does have meetings with Dumbledore, but instead of showing him a lot of memories they only have 2 (technically 3 if you count the tampered and fixed Slughorn memories seperately). So when the question of a Horcux comes up Harry doesn't know what the ring Dumbledore has or the locket that they find have to do with Voldemort. Yes they have Quidditch as well. In the book Ron is supposed to be a fairly good Keeper. Nervous yes, but good nonetheless. Not so in the movie. He apparently sucks, and miraculously saves all of his goals. Yes Harry finds the Prince's book, and wins the Felix Felicis potion. Yes he uses it to trick Ron. Yes he uses it to get the memory from Slughorn. Yes Ron and Lavender hook up, but i never imagined Lavender being that obsessive and creepy. I just thought she was a bit more clingy than most girls. Yes Hermione gets jealous. Yes Katie Bell gets cursed in Hogsmede. Yes Ron acidentally eats Harry's love potion filled chocolates from Romilda. Yes Ron soon after gets poisoned. Yes you find out Snape is the Half-Blood Prince. No Harry doesn't obsess over Draco as much as i would have hoped. That's just basic stuff they did. Throughout the movie you see exactly how Draco gets the Death Eaters into Hogwarts as you follow him into the Room of Requirement, and see the match to the Vanishing Cabinet in Borgin and Burkes. There is also an added (and unnecessary) scene at the Burrow during a holiday. Bella and Fenrir come and encircle the house in flames. They also taunt Harry to running out into a field alone. He is later joined by everyone except Ron and Molly. As they all attempt to fight Bella and Fenrir they hear an explosion. They run back to the Burrow to see it in flames. That pissed me off because the Weasleys are people that already have nothing so they took away the one thing they did have. That made me very upset. Harry goes with Dumbledore to the cave as planned and the cave scene is fairly accurate. The biggest problem i have with that is i think the animator's got really lazy and just tried to imprint Gollem into this movie. When the inferi came out of the water they looked a lot like Gollem. They get back to the school. My only problem with the Draco vs Dumbledore confrontation is that Draco (in the movie) cries. I didn't think Draco cried in the book. He seemed desperate, but not pathetic. Harry doesn't get paralyzed in the movie either. He just stands there and watches below. Dumbledore dies of course, and then there is the epic battle scene. Wait. No there isn't. 5 or 6 Death Eater's plus Snape and Draco kill Dumbledore and walk out of Hogwarts without a struggle. Afterwards everyone else wakes up and realizes what happened, and there is a slightly emotional scene afterwards. Then the last scene is Harry telling Hermione and Ron that he might not be going back to school next year. Instead he'll be searching for Horcruxes. Hermione tells Harry he's thick. And Fawkes sang for Dumbledore and flew away. There was no funeral scene for Dumbledore. I'm guessing (and hoping) that it will start off the next film. There was also already a romance between Tonks and Lupin. You could see that when (during the Burrow scene) she called Lupin "sweetie". It's late and i'm tired, but I just wanted to rant about that.

Recently I found occasion to reprimand Google for poor Icelandic spelling They promptly corrected the situation and what's more, lately I've seen some indications that Google is tackling Icelandic Grammar! If true, my hat is off to Google. I always give kudos to someone that takes the time to learn our (beautiful but a little challenging) language which is spoken by only 300 thousand people!
Relatively free from outside influence for much of the ca. 1.100 years since Iceland's discovery and settlement, icelandic has retained an inflectional grammar comparable to that of Latin or, more closely, Old Norse and Old English.
Unless search engines actively learn the language, Icelandic users have to accommodate for the search engine's illiteracy by entering their searches in various cases, numbers, genders, tenses and then do it all over again with the definite article etc… I'll spare you the gory details but believe me… I will be following Google's learning progress with my fingers crossed. Moreover it'll make my SEO work so much more effective. Welcome to the wonderful world of inflected languages.

ZDoom .pet??
Subject description: Learning to pet..
Howdy, Pupsters!!
This is my first post. WHOOPIE! Anyways, I just wanted to introduce myself. I've been using Puppy for a few months now. Right now I have Precise 5.4.1. I want to get better using Puppy, so I though I'd try and make a .pet. I think this project will help me learn the guts of Puppy. I'm doing this in my free time when I'm not working or volunteering at FreeGeek. I'm reading all the documentations I can. I would like to make the .pet compatible with most and/or all Puppy OSes.
I think ZDoom or even GZDoom would be an excellent addition to the Puppy gaming library. Chocolate doom is OK, but I've gotten use to looking up or down. Besides, the new mods Doomers are making these days are absolutely spec·tac·u·lar!
Anyways, any advice from the Puppy community will most welcome.
Thanks again.

Regarding ZDoom, I do not think this will be possible because of this:
You need to provide your own game IWAD. If you do not have a copy of Doom, Heretic, or Hexen, the easiest way to obtain them is to purchase them from Steam.

You generally have to do that with
the alternate DOOM interpreters, though. Now, if it didn't allow the shareware DOOM wads, or the alternate/edited wads, that would be a different story.
However, earlier posts I've seen about ZDoom on this forum seem to imply it's closed-source, or that people prefer running the Windows version under Wine much more than anything else. Is there a homepage for ZDoom I can look at? (Yeah, I know, run a websearch. I'm about to leave, unfortunately.

Post subject: About iwads and pwads
Subject description: @chrome307
I've been playing Doom since it first came out. Since Doom was the first 1st person shooter to support multiplayer and level designing mods.. in 1992ish methinks.. (Geez, I'm old.). Anyways, many fans over the years have collected iwads and pwads in the thousands. I alone have at least 5 gigs of these level designs.
Getting the iwads or pwads is not the problem, just a simple search at idarchives or doomworld forums. The problem is getting rid of the legacy Windoze dependences and making them Linux friendly or in this case Puppy friendly. There is a ZDoom Linux hack to get it working already, but I gotta have ZDoom in my Puppy. Are there any other Puppy Linux Doomer fans out there?
By the way, thanks chrome307 for responding. I think only people that's going to care about this project o'mine probably already have all the iwads and pwads needed to play this already. Please keep the input coming! Thanks again!

Does it support the 'HD' Doom efforts? (Have to find the link to those, again...)
Anyway, for anyone who might want to attempt it, I'll go ahead and include a link to the
The official "ZDoom on Linux" thread.
post from the ZDoom forums; there
be something useful in there for anyone who's willing to attempt to compile it in Puppy. Maybe.

Gettin' started..
Subject description: @Makoto
From Zdoom Linux Wiki:
Install dependencies
ZDoom needs certain dependencies in order to compile. These versions are known to work with recent ZDoom versions:
gcc 4.1–4.5 or 3.4.6
cmake 2.6 or 2.4
fmodex 4.26.36
zlib (optional - ZDoom has a copy of it and will be statically compiled in if not found)
libbzip2 (optional - possibly static)
libjpeg (optional - possibly static)
nasm 2.03.90–2.05.01 or 0.98.39 (optional)
GTK2 (optional)
Mesa (if compiling GZDoom); or any other GL implementation provider
gxmessage (needed to show the crash log in a window)
You can presumably use any higher versions of these programs, however that might not be the case. FMOD Ex, notably, does not have a constant API and using a version newer than the one listed above can prevent the successful compilation or execution of ZDoom.
Aren't most of these in Precise 5.4.1??
By the way HD Doom sprites never look right, however, the high rez level textures are awesome. Besides I like old school pixeled look.

Just added Prboom a port of Doom to Legacy OS 2 Repository.
While its been tested in Legacy OS 2 it may be worth while running Live in other Puppy versions.
Legacy OS 2017 has been released.

Slowly but surely..
Still sorting stuff out. I keep making mistakes, but with every setback I'm learning more. I was thinking, if I finally get this to work right, why not make a frontend for all the different Doom engine's and you can play with any engine you wanted to with just one pet. I'm not that good, yet, but it's possible.

Second, the pre-Trump Republican Party he describes skips over the racialized politics of, for example, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan.
micah : Yeah, this description of the GOP seems waaaaay off:
In the years after Ronald Reagan, the Republican Party was defined by its abundance mind-set. The key Republican narratives were capitalist narratives about dynamic entrepreneurs and America's heroic missions. The Wall Street Journal editorial page was the most important organ of conservative opinion. The party's views on other issues, like immigration, were downstream from confidence in the abundant marketplace and the power of the American idea.
What about all the racialized law-and-order stuff?
clare.malone : My real problem with the article is that he doesn't really prove his case.
He says at the very end of it, in a single paragraph:
Eventually, conservatives will realize: If we want to preserve conservatism, we can't be in the same party as the clan warriors. Liberals will realize: If we want to preserve liberalism, we can't be in the same party as the clan warriors.
But wait …
they realize this? What about
? And check this out

natesilver : The article also skips over the importance of " values voters " and the evangelical movement to the George W. Bush coalition. (And to the Reagan coalition too.)
micah : But, Nate, explain how you think the article misunderstands how parties work.
natesilver : Du. Ver. Ger's. Law.
OK, that's a pretty obscure reference. But its point is that party systems are heavily influenced by electoral structures.
You usually get two major parties, or maybe three, in first-past-the-post systems like the U.S. uses. Those European systems he's talking about — where you have lots of viable parties — mostly have proportional representation .
It should really be "Duverger's reasonably reliable empirical regularity" and not "Duverger's law," but it's a pretty useful heuristic.
clare.malone : What a sentence.
My question is, when does Brooks think all of this is going to happen?
That is, is this something he thinks will come down the pike in 2020 (aka, David Brooks is a stan for Kasich 2020)?
Or is this something 25 years in the future?
natesilver : It will happen once more people read his columns and join the Reasonable Center.
micah : OK, so he sorta bungles parties and bungles recent U.S. political history, but let's talk about the force he thinks will spur a viable third party …
Isn't his argument like: People are getting really partisan and so therefore people will break out of partisanship?

Different nations introduce whole numbers and arithmetic at different ages, with many countries teaching addition in pre-school. [31] However, throughout the world, addition is taught by the end of the first year of elementary school. [32]
Children are often presented with the addition table of pairs of numbers from 1 to 10 to memorize. Knowing this, one can perform any addition.
The prerequisite to addition in the
system is the fluent recall or derivation of the 100 single-digit "addition facts". One could

all the facts by , but pattern-based strategies are more enlightening and, for most people, more efficient: Womens Phoebe Dress Pump SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker GWs9G
As students grow older, they commit more facts to memory, and learn to derive other facts rapidly and fluently. Many students never commit all the facts to memory, but can still find any basic fact quickly. [30]
The standard algorithm for adding multidigit numbers is to align the addends vertically and add the columns, starting from the ones column on the right. If a column exceeds nine, the extra digit is " carried " into the next column. For example, in the addition 27 + 59
7 + 9 = 16, and the digit 1 is the carry. [b] An alternate strategy starts adding from the most significant digit on the left; this route makes carrying a little clumsier, but it is faster at getting a rough estimate of the sum. There are many alternative methods.
Decimal fractions
can be added by a simple modification of the above process.
Statement Clutch Angel by VIDA VIDA EpEVwsxk
One aligns two decimal fractions above each other, with the decimal point in the same location. If necessary, one can add trailing zeros to a shorter decimal to make it the same length as the longer decimal. Finally, one performs the same addition process as above, except the decimal point is placed in the answer, exactly where it was placed in the summands.
As an example, 45.1 + 4.34 can be solved as follows:

Police investigate vandalism at Fayetteville HS
Police investigate vandalism at Fayetteville HS
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. —
Fayetteville police and school officials are investigating reports of vandalism at Fayetteville High School.
Crews working on the new lecture hall at Fayetteville High School were shocked when they returned from the weekend and found the site vandalized.
School administrators said fire extinguishers had been deployed and carpet glue was strewn across much of the newly installed carpet.
The building is currently owned by Nabholz Construction.
The report was filed with Fayetteville Police early Monday morning. At this time, police have not made any arrests.
