makes perfect sense November 9th, 2008 5 comments So Sam Diaz
over at ZD Net takes Microsoft to task, because they have said
that their online offerrings of Office will be “lightweight”.
And then he says (in a nutshell), “what’s Microsoft’s problem,
Google has gotten this right already!” The reality is, Google
Apps are “lightweight” too. As Steve Ballmer mentioned, they
didn’t even have footnotes (they got footnotes a few days after
he mentioned it). I can understand that Microsoft is lagging on
getting a version of Office on the Web. But, let’s examine
reality. Google Apps’ usage rates show that there is not much
demand for Web-base office suites at this time, Office still
makes a ton of money, and offering a “lightweight” Web Office
still puts them on par with Google. Most importantly, the people
who are attracted to a Web based office suite neither want nor
need a “kitchen sink” application; if they did, they would just

New MMOs often flood players with a tsunami of jargon, using new
words for old, familiar concepts as well as thinking up terms
for new gameplay or lore which is specific to that game. It
isn’t just the humble group that gets the makeover treatment,
games use different terms to describe guilds (kinship, corp,
legion, supergroup, society, etc), raids (warbands) and even
different types of spell (mez, sleep, incapacitate, blind). It
can feel overwhelming when you jump into a new game. As well as
the official jargon, players have probably adopted their own
abbreviations and nicknames for different locations, instances,
bosses, quests, items and each other. A general chat channel
might as well be in a foreign language for the amount of sense
it makes to a newbie – or at least an unfamiliar dialect.

his front yard and we were just innocently sitting in the grass
together. I was feeling a bit frisky so i decided to initiate
one of the most fun make out sessions I've ever had. So, find a
private place that has a grassy spot or hill, like a park or a
yard. Unexpectedly climb on top of him as you lay him down.
Start kissing him. You can even grab his hands, or just hold him
tight. If he is turned on by your dominance, he might then be
inclined to either enjoy the sudden lusty assault, or he might
spring into action. If he does, he will hopefully roll you over
so he is on the top. When he does, slowly keep working to roll
onto the top. When me and my boyfriend did this we ended up
rolling down half the hill in a passionate kiss. It was
amazingly fun! Plus he did get horny from the short excursion.

Controversial movie 'Blackfish' has central Washington ties
»Play Video YAKIMA, Wash. -- A new documentary stirring a
national controversy has ties to Central Washington. The film
Blackfish looks at killer whales in captivity. A local doctor
was a trainer at SeaWorld in Florida and is featured on screen.
For eight years, Doctor Jeffrey Ventre spent his time as a
trainer. He had two different stints working with killer whales
at SeaWorld in Orlando, Florida. "I was like a rookie bucket
scrubber," Dr. Ventre said. "Basically, a guy that put on the
microphone and did the lines of the show. But, then when I went
back the second time I was one of the primary show people." He

there was never a “wrong” side. After a few failed attempts I
figured out that if the #purl=#knit stitches in a row there
wouldn’t be a “wrong” side anyways. So, this scarf is a 5knit
5purl, single-layer scarf. The #rows per block was calculated to
make each block as perfectly square as possible. This scarf is
also very tightly knit. For a looser weave I would suggest using
5.0mm or even 6.0mm needles depending on how you knit. I named
this scarf Nokomis for the stormy coastal winters here in

because of composition 2. Detail - Doesnt have to be realistic

online about technology rewiring our brains -- how the constant
stimulation of email, texts, and Internet searches is the

Melly, is in the early stages of vascular dementia, the second
most common form after Alzheimer's disease. He can still sing
and do radio interviews and he can talk endlessly about
surrealism - but the other day he told me that he has no sense
of time, day or space. Dementia costs the UK £17bn each year,
according to a new report by the Alzheimer's Society. There are
700,000 sufferers and the number is predicted to rise to 1.7m by
2050. Families often bear the biggest burden, saving the state
£6bn a year. George has always been an absent-minded professor
type and I've always been very bossy. Now I'm super bossy. It is
difficult having to take more care of him than he wants, telling
him not to go out on his own and not to take £100 in his pocket
because he'll lose it. I spend days on my hands and knees
looking for his hearing aid. He forgets to eat. Three weeks ago

Vilsack said, On February 10, 2009, NPR ran a story about how
the economic stimulus would help fund food stamp programs
because States were experiencing such a high caseload due to the
downturn in the economy: Congress is on the verge of increasing
funding for food stamps as part of the economic stimulus bill,
because of the steep rise in the number of Americans applying
for the aid. For example, in the past 20 months Florida's food
stamp caseload has grown by more than a half million people, to
1.8 million. George Sheldon, who heads the state's Department of
Children and Families, says many applicants are in former boom
areas, such as Fort Myers, where construction has ground to a
halt. I don't buy the Ag Secretary's logic. In order to give
someone a dollar, you have to take a dollar from somewhere else.
That means that instead of $1.84, you are actually only growing
it by 84 cents. Don't get me wrong - I am not against food
stamps. While |

that they alone are chosen people and others by extension are
lesser beings, at best pitied, at worst murdered. Lets not

update on the Brent-WTI spread dynamics. As discussed earlier
the US crude inventory and the Iran uncertainties have been the
drivers of the spread. The Iran situation has not changed much
since, although nuclear talks are now a certainty. Iran has no
real choice but to agree to the talks. As far as the US crude
inventories, the amount of crude oil in stock continues to rise,
now near the top of the 5-year range. Source: EIA That has not
only stalled the rally in crude oil, but also widened out the
Brent-WTI spread to above $20/barrel. Brent-WTI spread
(Bloomberg) Again the reason for monitoring this spread closely
is that US gasoline prices correlate closer to Brent prices than
to WTI. The chart below shows the spread between US Gasoline

into a period of dormancy. During this period, they draw upon
their stored nutrients for survival. Bulb Basics An onion is an

to: navigation, search An anti-aliasing filter is a filter used
before a signal sampler, to restrict the bandwidth of a signal
to approximately satisfy the sampling theorem. Since the theorem
states that unambiguous interpretation of the signal from its
samples is possible when the power of frequencies above the
Nyquist frequency is zero, a real anti-aliasing filter can
generally not completely satisfy the theorem. A realizable anti-
aliasing filter will typically permit some aliasing to occur;
the amount of aliasing that does occur depends on a design
trade-off between reduction of aliasing and maintaining signal
up to the Nyquist frequency and the frequency content of the
input signal. Optical applications[edit] Sensor based anti-

that Senate Democrats have released their own plan to stop the
sequester, we're updating and republishing this old post. On
March 1, a whole bunch of deep, automatic spending cuts are
scheduled to take effect. This is known as the "sequester," a
mechanism that will trim the federal government's budget by
$85.3 billion this year and by $1.2 trillion over 10 years.
Artist's rendition of the sequester. The trouble is, few people
in Washington actually want these cuts. They were designed to be
sweeping and crude — affecting everything except Social
Security, Medicaid, a few anti-poverty programs, and the ongoing

I love Mercurial. It's easily my favorite version control
system, and I use it for all of my projects. Much like git,
bazaar, darcs and so on, it's a distributed version control
system - it's decentralised, in that every clone of the
repository has a fully-fledged set of history - and it enables
you to create local changes, review past changes, and create
experimental branches that are later abandoned. Mercurial,
first created by Matt Mackall in 2005, is written in Python,
and developed by a community of users and developers spread all
over the world. There are a few hosted mercurial offerings. Most
notable among these is BitBucket, but it is also supported by
Google Code, SourceForge, RhodeCode, and Savannah. Mercurial is
designed around the concept of a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) -
basically, a line of development and changes that proceeds back

rest of the state’s finances Lessenberry commentary for 9/11/13
A few days ago, Michigan Radio’s Sarah Cwiek reported a story
worth thinking about. The market for municipal bonds has
nosedived since Detroit announced its intention to file for
bankruptcy in July. Now, if you would like a clear and concise
explanation of how the bond market works … good luck with that.
But essentially, communities sell bonds to raise money, bonds
they pay off gradually with interest over time. They are a
traditional and time-honored way of raising money for civic
improvements. There’s also been an understanding, at least
since the Great Depression, that money owed to bond holders --
especially the holders of general obligation bonds -- was
sacrosanct. No matter how hard things were, the bond holders had
to be paid. Well, that’s not happening in Detroit, which, as all
the world knows, has filed for bankruptcy. Emergency Manager

agents in Miami transmitted an urgent message to the FBI field
office at 26 Federal Plaza: Dominican narcotics traffickers had
put out a contract on the head of Michael Garcia, the former
United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
Alarm bells sounded. A plot to assassinate a man who had been
one of the most powerful and prominent law-enforcement officials
in the country was a big deal. The FBI quickly dispatched
agents, U.S. Marshals, and police to provide around-the-clock
guards for Garcia, who had served as U.S. Attorney here from
2005 to 2008 before going into private practice. Federal agents
ordered a range of wiretaps, dumped phone records, and sent
agents and undercovers to the Dominican Republic. iStock,

beauty of a good deed and the magnitude of its worth lies in its
intention. It can raise a person from the depths of sorrow to
the pleasant comfort of healing. A person, who sincerely submits
to Ultimate Love, will never be left empty handed when asking
for help. Indulge me if you will. I think it’s safe to
assume that we’ve all felt complete sorrow. Imagine that
feeling again. Imagine the isolation that accompanies it. The
suppressive feeling of having no way out. Of being
misunderstood. But more than anything, the intensity of sorrow
and vulnerability that engulfs your entire being. Now imagine
the darkest of stormy nights, winds lapping viciously, being
swallowed whole by a huge creature in the dark, and feeling the
environment around you move down into the deep recesses of the
earth, and not being able to do a thing about it. Suppressive
isn’t it? This is probably an inkling of what Prophet Jonah
(Yunus) felt as he plummeted to |

Saturday 25 January 2014: Watts going on? Went for a nice bike
ride early afternoon. The roads are in a utter mess with
localised flooding and covered with enough crud to make it more
like a mountain bike ride than a road ride. Only a few morons in
cars out today - they really shouldn't take their fancy cars out
if they aren't prepared to get mud on them... Today's rather
feeble blip is a shot of a Current Cost meter. It gives you lots
of figures for your electricity use and it's hooked up to my
computer were I can log the figures. Considering I've got my
desktop and the server running, 310 W for the house isn't too
bad - a moment after this was taken it was running at 1.9 kW as
the oven was being used by my better half... As a general rule
think 1 W on for a year is £1. I took this picture as I had a
call from someone trying to us a current meter on the Church in

4.466356 | -4.352901 | 0 | Gavin Floyd Gets Completely Lossed Gavin Floyd threw the White
Sox 10th consecutive quality start, but one poor inning was
enough make him the 3rd Sox starter of the month to get hung
with the dreaded complete game loss. The Sox have thrown 3
complete games this season, all losses, during which the offense
has plated a total of 4 runs. Floyd had no-hit stuff early in
the outing Friday night -- He threw about the nastiest changeup
I've ever seen in the 4th -- and carried another no-hitter into
the 5th inning. But he grooved a first-pitch fastball to Torii
Hunter, who promptly gave the ball a one-way ticket to section
159. And then Gavin got wild, really wild. Mike Napoli walked
on 4 pitches. Robb Quinlan hit an innocent enough looking first-
pitch single into left field. 5 more pitches to Sean Rodriguez,
4 more balls. Now Floyd was in trouble with the bases loaded and
no concept of how to get a pitch into the strike zone. When
Floyd threw the first pitch to Maicer Izturis in the opposite

That essentially is what West Contra Costa voters are being
asked to do as they consider approval of the seventh round of
school construction borrowing since 1998. In seeking residents'
blessings at the ballot June 3 for another $270 million of
bonds, school and county officials never mention more than $1.6
billion already approved. While claiming the annual cost to
property owners for the latest bond proposal, Measure H, would
be $36 for every $100,000 of assessed valuation, they leave out
that total payment for all seven bond measures would reach
nearly 10 times as much. Many districts in California have
sought multiple bond approvals. What makes West Contra Costa
unusual is the scale. Since starting its school reconstruction
program, the K-12 district has issued more bonds than any other
in the state, with the exception of the much-larger Los Angeles
and San Diego districts. Un |

Conceptually, I like this approach. The whole "Date of Work/Date

how does one define _A_ date to be associated with an
abstraction. So the more generalized "Chronological information

though. 1) the changes involved go beyond merely changing the
element names/paragraph headings -- revision of the text will be
needed as well -- although I will assume the current edits were
limited to paragraph headings in the interest of gauging support
before investing in wholesale revision efforts. 2) the dual

31, 2009 at 7:29 PM If changing kickers and punters about as
often as he changes socks gives New Orleans Saints coach Sean
Payton peace of mind, gives his team a psychological advantage
and gives the Saints a noticeable performance bump in those
areas, then let him keep up the game of musical chairs and hope
someone competent is sitting when the tune stops. True,
bringing in the third kicker and third punter of a regular
season that only is eight games old obviously don't solve the
larger problems that seem to be glaring the Saints in the face.
Kickers and punters don't cover receivers. They don't block on
third- or fourth-and-1. They don't fumble. They don't get
suspended (unless their name is Todd Sauerbrun). They don't
call for onside kicks that fail and virtually guarantee points
to teams that otherwise might not be able to score, like what

Parenthood always has been selectively proud of its abortion
affiliation. But throughout the congressional debate over its
funding, Planned Parenthood has worked hard to keep under wraps
the fact that it is increasingly synonymous with abortion. This
week, Rep. Diane Black, Tennessee Republican, and Rep. Martha
Roby, Alabama Republican, introduced an amendment - accepted by
the House but rejected by the Senate - that would have
prohibited the nation’s largest abortion provider, Planned
Parenthood, from receiving federal taxpayers’ dollars. And while
this round of budget negotiations is concluded, the debate over
the 2012 budget is just beginning. Taxpayer subsidies for
Planned Parenthood will remain a key point of contention.
During the budget debates, the politically influential abortion
lobby has tried to cloak its business behind discussions of
women’s health, but very little investigation is needed to find
the truth of the matter. Planned Parenth |
