EXACTLY LIKE YOU
Music: Jimmy McHugh- Lyrics: Dorothy Fields
Origin of the song
The musical International Revue, produced by Lew Leslie, was released on 25 February 1930 in the Majestic Theatre of New York. That night, Harry Richman and Gertrude Lawrence sang 'Exactly Like You'. The show wasn't as successful as expected and was withdrawn from the hoarding after ninety five performances. Even if it had good producers, A-list actors (Gertrude Lawrence, Harry Richman, Pearl Jack, Anton Dolin, and La Argentinita), choreography by Busby Berkeley, and songs by McHugh and Fields, the musical has a poor script, too long and, in general, not appealing at all for the audience and the critics. However, two of its musical scenes, 'On the Sunny Side of the Street' and 'Exactly Like you' became very famous.
Curiously enough, Ruth Etting (Columbia 2199D) and Harry Richman (Brunswick 4747) recorded this song the same day. As well as many other standards, Louis Armstrong has the honour of having recorded the first jazz version of this song (May 4, 1930).
Among the many collaborations of McHugh and Fields, apart from those two already mentioned, 'I Can't Give You Anything But Love' (1928), 'I Must Have That Man' (1928), 'Don't Blame Me' (1932), and 'I'm in the Mood for Love' (1935) stand out.

HOUSTON SOCIALITE AMONG 6 ACCUSED OF MONEY LAUNDERING
Katherine Le
http://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Six-including-socialite-charged-with-money-6543784.php
Six people, including a Houston socialite, are expected to appear Friday in a Harris County courtroom, accused of money laundering in connection with a Houston gameroom.
Katherine Le, a well-known jewelry designer in Houston's social circles, and her husband, Hao Dinh Nguyen, 51, were arrested Thursday and charged with organized criminal activity. They are both in jail in lieu of bail of $1 million each.
Le, 47, was honored as one of Houston's best dressed in 2010 and has been a perennial figure at Houston fashion shows and in area fashion news.
Four others were also arrested in Thursday's sweep: Thinh Nguyen, 63; Bich Thuy Nguyen, 46; Urixie Palacios-Juarez, 35; and Jose Palacios-Juarez, 28.
Assistant Harris County District Attorney Lester Blizzard declined to comment on the case Thursday. He said he expected details of the allegations to come to light in court Friday.
All six are accused of concealing more than $300,000 in proceeds from illegal gambling. All remain in jail on bail set at $1 million, a common amount in high-dollar white-collar cases. If convicted of the first-degree felony, all face a maximum punishment of life in prison.
Le's husband was arrested last year with two other men in connection with three gamerooms. Those charges were later dismissed after a grand jury decided there was not enough evidence to indict.
In that case, Houston police vice squad officers played "8 liner" video gambling machines at Diamond 777 at 2395 Texas 6 South, Royal 777 at 1380 Westheimer and Window Club Video Game at 9366 Richmond. The 8-liner gambling machines are similar to Las Vegas-style slot machines and are generally illegal in Texas.
However, private gamerooms that tightly control access have proliferated much faster than authorities have been able to shut them down. Prosecutors and police long have bemoaned the difficulties for investigators to witness illegal activity in order to secure convictions.
When asked if arresting alleged owners and operators on money laundering charges is a new approach to try to combat the enterprises, Blizzard would not comment.

Q: Prove the period of the transformed function I have the following statement to prove:

Prove that if $f:X \to Y$ with $x \in X$ have a period $T$, therefore $f(Ax)$ have a period $\frac{T}{A}$

My development was:
If $f$ have a period $T$ holds that $f(x+T) = f(x)$
I need to prove that $f(Ax+\frac{T}{A})=f(Ax)$.
I don't know how to do it, since I don't know how I can "operate" with the function arguments.

A: You have $f(x+T) = f(x)$, and you want to show that for $g(x) = f(Ax)$, you have $g\left(x+\dfrac{T}{A}\right) = g(x)$.
Note that $g\left(x+\dfrac{T}{A}\right) = f\left(A\left(x+\dfrac{T}{A}\right)\right) \neq f\left(Ax+\dfrac{T}{A}\right)  $.

A Wandering Mind
Diwali Tour Part 2 – Rameswaram and Nainar Kovil
If Varanasi is the heart of the land that is India, Rameswaram is the foot. A journey to Kashi is invariably linked with a visit to Rameswaram. Aeons ago, it was Rama who consecrated the lingam at Rameswaram to atone for his sin of killing Ravana and all the other Rakshasas. Much, much later, in the holy city of Varanasi, Tulsidas made His story available for the common man in his own dialect with the Ramcharitmanas. At Rameswaram, the lingam is bathed with many materials, as in all places but the most important of them all is the water of the holy Ganges, obtained all the way from Varanasi. All through the year, the temple is thronged by devotees from all over India, all carrying a brass or copper pot of Ganges water as an offering to the lord. As at Varanasi, the rites to one's forefathers occupy an important part of a journey to Rameswaram. The Teertha Shrardham at Rameswaram is traditionally performed at Dhanushkodi, the farthest point of India in this direction, and the nearest point to Sri Lanka, from where, it is believed, Rama built his bridge to Lanka. The whole of Dhanushkodi was destroyed by a cyclone in 1964 which wiped out the town along with its railway line. Till a few years back, there were a few ruins left as a reminder of that sad event, but now there is practically nothing left, but miles and miles of sand till we reach the sea. Only special jeeps are allowed to ferry devotees and tourists to this place, and they charge fixed rates, not open to bargaining. It is a journey worth taking for the pleasure of standing of one of the end points of India. The sea is clean, or rather, not as dirty as one would expect, considering the number of pilgrims it sees every day which is a relief these days. Traditionally, after the sankalpam and prayers at Dhanushkodi, a bow and arrow are drawn and prayers offered to it, and sand from this bow is scooped up and taken to Varanasi where it is made into a lingam and after prayers is immersed in the Ganges. We had already completed this ritual, and all we had to do was complete our Kashi yatra by performing Abhishekam to the lingam with the Ganges water that we had brought from Kashi.
We began the auspicious day of Diwali by having a bath in our room and headed to the temple for darshan of the special Spatika (crystal) lingam, which is taken out for Abhishekam and darshan every morning between 5 and 6 AM. There was a long queue for the darshan, but a special darshan ticket of Rs.50/- helped us bypass the crowd. Even then, we had to wait for about 15 minutes for our turn. It was worth the wait for two reasons – firstly, the Spatika lingam itself is beautiful and seeing the abhishekam was a divine experience. Secondly, we had nirmalya darshan of the main lingam in the sanctum. Here, it must be mentioned that the main lingam is made of sand, and is usually kept covered by a kavacham or covering, which makes it look like it is made of stone. All the abhishekams are performed to the covered lingam, for it will dissolve otherwise. The early morning darshan is probably the only time one can have a direct darshan of the original lingam.
According to legend, when Rama and Sita returned to the mainland after killing Ravana, Rama felt the urge to perform penance for his sin in killing Ravana who was a Brahmin, by virtue of birth to a rishi. To get rid of the sin of killing a Brahman, Rama wanted to install a lingam and perform the due prayers. He asked Hanuman to bring a suitable lingam for the purpose. Hanuman went to Kailas to bring a lingam, and returned carrying two of them. Meanwhile, it was getting late, and on the advice of elders, Sita made a lingam out of the sand, and Rama performed the appropriate prayers before Hanuman returned. When Hanuman returned at last, he was furious to see the lingam already consecrated and tried in vain to pull it out. At last, Rama pacified him, and decreed that the lingam brought by Hanuman be worshipped to first. This is the Visweswara lingam, and is placed just outside the main sanctum of Ramanathar. The second lingam was installed in a sanctum to Anjaneya (Hanuman) at the entrance of the temple. Traditionally, one first has darshan of Viwanathar, then Ramanathar, and finally, Hanumat-lingam at the exit. The Spatika lingam is believed to have been installed by Vibhishana, and it is this one which is considered to be one of the 12 Jyotirlingams.
After sunrise, we had a bath in the sea, where there was much water due to high tide, but the sea has been considerably dirtied over the years that I have visited it. Now, the first few steps into the water are through incredibly dirty layers of waste on the sand. We had to advance to waist level water to actually feel clear sand under our feet. We then went straight to the temple accompanied by a guide from the Kanchi Mutt, who led us through the 22 sacred wells, drawing out the water and pouring it over us. Much has been written about these wells, so it will suffice to say that this is probably the most unique and the best part of a visit to Rameswaram. I have been fortunate enough to bathe in these waters not once, but 4 times so far. This was the first time that Samhith was actually aware of what was going on, and he enjoyed himself thoroughly asking for water to be poured on him more than once at every well. It is amazing indeed that even today, after so many years, there is so much water left in these wells.
While we were making rounds of the wells, we had darshan of Lakshmi Narayana and Sethu Madhava. The shrine to Sethu Madhava is near the teertham of the same name, and it is considered auspicious to have his darshan after bathing in the water of the teertham. Sethu Madhava is one of a trinity with Veni Madhava at the Sangam at Allahabad and Bindu Madhava at Varanasi. These are all small idols of Vishnu found at the sites at about the same period. While the Veni Madhava and Bindu Madhava idols are made of black stone, which is a rarity in the north where these idols were found, the idol of Sethu Madhava is in marble, a rare occurrence in the south. Thus, in a way these idols are unusual in their respective areas, and their names being similar, it probably led to an identification of these three idols as a trinity, and it being auspicious to see all the three idols.
It is forbidden to enter the temple in wet clothes, so we went back to our room to change into our new Diwali clothes, and went to the Kanchi Mutt where arrangements had been made to perform the necessary puja to the Ganges water which we had brought from Varanasi in sealed copper pots. Once we were through with the puja, we trooped to the temple, guide in tow, and were led straight to the sanctum where we witnessed the abhishekam of the lord with the water of one of the holiest river of India.
Once the abhishekam was over, it was like a huge load was lifted from our shoulders, for our Kashi yatra had finally concluded successfully. To be precise, it was really my in-laws' Kashi yatra, for ours will only truly begin when we take over the responsibilities and the tasks of our parents, when we actually take their place. However, bringing their Kashi yatra to a close brings us a great deal of satisfaction.
We then made a pradakshina of the sanctum, noticing the architectural marvels of days gone by, visiting the other sanctums of gods and goddesses which graced this huge temple. One of the things I will always remember about this temple is the Rudraksha mandapam – the mandapam where the idol of Nataraja, the lord of dance, is placed. The whole mandapam is decorated from walls to ceiling with the Rudraksha beads, which are so dear to Shiva. There was even a canopy (too big to be called an umbrella) over the idol, wholly made of Rudrakshas. I have never seen anything like it before, and I yearned to take a photograph, but not only had I left my camera and mobile behind, but I knew in my heart that even if I had my camera, I wouldn't have been allowed to photograph the idol. Interestingly, in many of the temples we later visited, I saw a similar canopy of Rudrakshas over the head of the main lingam; however, none of them was as ornate or as beautiful as this one.
We had lunch at the residence of the priest. Talking of food, there is every type of cuisine available at Rameswaram – from Gujarati and Marwari to Jain and Punjabi – every region has its own restaurant. However, for one yearning to sample an authentic south Indian meal, there is nothing like eating at a priest's house. There are lots of them around – the road opposite the main temple gopuram leading to the sea is lined with homes of Brahmins who make a living out of cooking. Just walk along the road, enquire about home cooked food, and you will find yourself being surrounded with people inviting you to their house. Better still, go to the Kanchi or Sringeri mutt and enquire. They will make all arrangements for you at extremely reasonable rates.
Soon after lunch, we packed our bags, and started for our next destination – our ancestral temple, or 'Kula Deivam' – Nainar Kovil. On the way, we decided to make a halt at Devipattinam, as we had time to burn before the temple at Nainar Kovil opened after lunch.
Devipattinam is well known for the Nava Pashanam, or nine stones, which represent the Navagrahas. According to legend, these stones were installed and worshipped by Rama on his way to Rameswaram. Moreover, the sea bed is covered with a kind of grass similar to the sacred 'Darbha grass' , and is called the 'Ocean Darbha'. A temple on the beach has the main deity named Dabharanyeshwarar. The story might be true or a myth, but the nine stones standing all by themselves in the middle of the sea make for an impressive sight. I remember the very first time I visited the place after my marriage. I was absolutely stunned at the sight, and though at that time I was sorely afraid of water, I bravely held my husband and mother-in-law's hand and walked to the stones, and even did the pradakshina, praying to them reverently. I wish I had known about them before, and had taken my camera along to capture the sight as it was then, for this time, I had absolutely no desire to take any photos, leave alone get into the water. In preparation for this place, we had all changed from our brand new clothes to other used ones, so that we could walk in the water with them and then change back. But what a shock we received when we actually reached the place! In the name of improvement and providing conveniences for the tourists, a sort of bridge has been built to the stones. Moreover, they have now been surrounded by a brick structure replacing the plain railings of the past. All this has sort of given an enclosure-like look to the place, separating it from the wide open sea. To top it all, the water around the stones has already started stagnating, and will surely lead to deterioration of the stones themselves. All in all, it was such a sorry sight that all of us lost our desire to wade into the water. Only Shankar and Samhith ventured in to do one pradakshina and half heartedly performed the required pujas.

On the brighter side, we found a boatman who agreed to take us for a round, and we enjoyed the row boat ride. The boatman even used his oar to pull out a bunch of the Darbha grass from the sea bed for us to look at. Once we were through with the boat ride, we had no further reason to hang on, and made our way towards Nainar Kovil.

The one and a half hour drive to Nainar Kovil soon lifted our spirits, for we had the luck to see a large number of peacocks. The first time we passed one, we went back to take a second look. From then on, our driver drove slowly looking out for other peacocks, waiting for me to take photographs. Finally, Shankar put his foot down, and declared that if we wanted to reach Thanjavur in time for bed, we didn't have any more time for peacocks. At a rough count, we must have seen at least 20 to 30 peacocks, which is probably a much larger number than what we will see at any zoo or park.

Nainar Kovil
We reached Nainar Kovil just after they opened the doors, and gave the priest all the materials we had brought for the puja. This time, we didn't halt for the full puja, but the priest obligingly draped the lord and the goddess with the veshti and sari we had brought along.
According to the sthala puranam, or temple legend, this was the place a thief running from a tiger/lion climbed atop a tree and spent the night plucking and dropping leaves to stay awake. Unknown to him, the tree was a bilva tree, and under it was a Shiva lingam, and to top things up, it also happened to be Shivaratri. Thus, in all ignorance, he had worshipped Shiva on one of his most important days, with the leaf dearest to him. When day broke, he was surprised to see Shiva ganas who had come to escort him to Kailas on the strength of the puja he had performed. When he realized the importance of what he had done unknowingly, he repented, and asked time from the Shiva ganas, and spent the rest of his life performing good deeds, and repeating the name of Shiva. Take a look at the gopuram of the temple illustrating this story.
The story of Nainar Kovil on the Gopuram
While we spent some time looking around the temple, and noticing the recently made changes, Samhith was fascinated by a hand pump at the edge of the temple pond and spent the time trying it out. He was fascinated by the sight of the water gushing out when he managed to press the pump handle!
Samhith tries out the hand pump
We started from Nainar Kovil around 5:30PM, and found ourselves at Pudukkotai around 8:30PM. We thought of having dinner there, it being a big city, but we hadn't bargained for it being Diwali! Almost every hotel and restaurant in the city was closed – the only open ones serving only non vegetarian food. We searched high and low and were ready to settle for the night with juices and fruits, when thankfully, we stumbled upon Hotel Maaris. We were practically the only diners, but the chap happily cooked us food which tasted wonderful. If it hadn't been for that one, we would have gone to bed hungry or thirsty, for when we reached Thanjavur, we found every hotel closed there too. In fact, this problem dogged us through the whole trip, for we happened to be traveling during the Diwali weekend, when every worker goes home on a holiday, and doesn't return till he has used up his Diwali bonus. Every hotel we visited till Sunday, the 2nd of November was short- staffed, and very few items on the menu were available. The Diwali weekend isn't a good idea to travel if one if finicky about food.
We found rooms at one Hotel Vasantha, which was clean and neat, but lacking in service ( again, a Diwali problem, we were told), and retired for the night. The next few days, we knew would be hectic, and we needed all the sleep we could get.

I hailed from Naiynaar Koyil, it is very nice to read about my native place from someone writings :D.
Last time when I visited Rameswaram I was very much upset that I need to Rs 42 as entrance fee and Rs 100 to a person who helped us do the 22 theertham. Although the government trustee told us it is only Rs 12 I couldn't we were asked to pay extra fee with no receipt.
Other it was great experience. Thank you for sharing your thought with us.

Health is wealth and with the new era, people are more and more aware of the importance of taking care of their well being. But we also must agree that price of health care is increasing and thus we really have to allocate a separate budget for it. It's good to know that there are good health care programs out there like the Walgreens Prescription Savings Club that we could rely on. Walgreens is a network of pharmacies all over America. The Walgreens Prescription Savings Club provide a huge discounts on over 8,000 brand name and all generic medications, discount on flu shots, pet prescriptions, nebulizers and diabetic supplies. Plus bonuses if you purchase Walgreens brand products and photo finishing services. All these for $10 for a family membership or $5 for an individual membership. Quite a deal, right? But right now there is a dispute between Walgreens and Express Script, affecting the members of the latter by not being able to access Walgreens network of pharmacies and great offers. For more information please read Walgreens and Express Script.
If you agree with Walgreens stand also support them thru Twitter Walgreens on Twitter and Facebook Walgreens on Facebook.

Far too often, the soul of someone who happens to be a Mac user is seen through the lens of corporate communications — about crazy ones, misfits and round pegs in square holes.
I'm a Mac user and have been so for most of my life. Growing up, System 6 was a staple, but I also remember a Compaq portable with the mouse trackball at the right side of the screen and the mouse buttons on the lid, and eventually using Windows 95 and 98. I came back to Mac with Mac OS X when I left a really powerful PC for a computationally dinky Aluminum PowerBook G4, and have not owned a full-on desktop since, even if I do own a NUC and a few Raspberry Pis.
I recently have been in a mode of deep (Windows-based) user interface focus at work, and was describing Panic to someone recently when something came over me. I love these guys. I love the attention to detail of every large, small and medium thing, the time put into making an application that feels right and flows right, that's easy to use, that has just enough user interface that you can get done what you need to get done, that has style, function and whimsy.
Panic is just an example, but there are so many of their ilk that I can point to. Many Tricks and their excellent Witch; Ranchero's NetNewsWire; Omni and their myriad of productivity tools; Noodlesoft's Hazel; and so on, and so on, and so on.
I've used Windows every day for as long as I can remember in one way or another. I can find my way around there as well as on any other platform. But while on the world's biggest desktop OS, I still feel constrained by a meandering vision, by a lack of common conceptual ground, by the infuriating feeling that so much is built and left unfinished, unpolished and put out to rot.
The Mac gets a lot of flack from people who are nose deep in technical specifications and price matchups. What they don't see — or aren't interested in — is the intangible: the culture that people with big dreams and small means have made the unconventional available, the complex seemingly simple and the advanced accessible. This culture doesn't live or die by Apple in particular, although the original Macintosh being a product of a similar mindset helped set the tone. This culture produces things that are hard to find elsewhere, not because it's technically impossible to do, but because the values that drive those other platforms produce different outcomes.
I am upset with a lot of recent technology, because it all seems intent on burying history as part of remaking the world. Not everything new is bad or worse than what came before, but so many important learnings are being thrown out. You can't make a web app without first filling it with a big framework to implement basic interactions, and most of them lose the tactility and the richness of most native interfaces of any platform. You can definitely build good web interfaces driven by snappy and well-thought-out engines, but it takes intense focus and hard work to do so, and it's easier (but not cheaper) to just throw in Bootstrap and work just as poorly as most other web sites. Electron takes all this and wraps it up in a computationally horrible footprint, under the insulting guise of "native".
iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS and now macOS with Big Sur – all the recent advancements seem to come at the expense of the wide berth that used to produce great results. The freedom that allowed a seamless experience is chopped up by security concerns ham-handedly and haphazardly applied, and on most platforms most of the time topped with having to pass the needle's eye of a trillion dollar enterprise's hungry bean-counting and control. All for the purpose of being a populous platform for its own sake; for having more apps that cost little, grey gruel instead of food; for padding a bottom line if you're cynical, or stroking a corporate self-image run amok.
The reason, all these things considered, that I haven't left these platforms yet is that there's still the feeling of being in a garden of my own cultivation. I can control every nut and bolt and swap out infinitesimal details and fundamental building blocks in Linux, that's true. But that means that people do, and you end up with worrying about technological fundaments because of this uneven foundation. This soil does not bear great fruit, efforts by GNOME etc notwithstanding, and the culture lionizing the endless flexibility of the command line and architectural purity of UNIX gives an easy escape hatch for any problem.
Windows is seemingly more stable in this aspect, but while I am able to live in that house, I am not able to make it my home, and it's not for a lack of trying. Microsoft's repeated wallpaper-stripping and ever-changing priorities make it feel like an enormous mansion under constant renovation, with uneven floors, studs poking through the walls and fundamental features left broken or half-finished since the last time they cared. (The less said about the impressionistic "Fluent" wing entirely in featureless acrylic, the better.)
The culture and the people and the shared values and what it all comes together to produce. That's why I'm still here. You can live in many houses, but not all of them will ever feel like home. I'm upset with the landlord and the building manager who ignores leaking pipes and oiled floors catching on fire while upping the rent and turning a blind eye to hustlers running Three-card Monte, but aside from that, I love the neighborhood, I love the surroundings, I love that they value the things I do and I love what it can build over time.

kermit the dog visit Listen up Sims Social players- if you don't master the crafting system, be prepared to waste your time and money.
how to draw father christmas view Being successful in the game and providing your Sim with the means to progress through the levels efficiently requires that you have an understanding of how to craft items and which ones you should be focusing on more than others. If you make the wrong choices with crafting, the result is either more Simcash required to keep playing or more waiting time for your Energy to fill up. Either way, you'll wish you budgeted your time and resources better.
drone yuneec q500 4k So let's start with the basics.
sims 3 queen amidala watch The 'Craft' button will take you to the Crafting menu and display the contents of your Backpack.
http://gentlemanhurry.site upside down girls If you've played Facebook games or any type of role-playing games before, you'll be familiar with the fundamentals of how crafting works. It's simple- you use raw materials to fulfill the needs of a recipe, you then execute that recipe and expend the items needed for it, and the result is an entirely new item that is theoretically the sum of its parts.
transmission entreprise familiale see Essentially: Item A + Item B = Item C.
skriv hilsen ord som gaver The crafting screen in Sims Social is pretty easy to navigate.
The tricky part is managing which items are most important to craft, because the materials required for producing them often overlap with other craft-able items. Because of this, you need to have a sense of priority and gauge how best to use the items you've collected.
The added element of spending your play time gathering these specific items is another layer of depth to consider- often the items you craft are essential to continuing your current play session so it's urgent that you are efficient with how you spend your Energy and rewards. Keep in mind that the items you need drop randomly as you perform the actions they require, so a bad streak of luck can deplete your Energy while yielding little to no rewards.
It all comes together once you get a good rhythm in place- a cycle of gaining certain rewards, spending/converting them, and then using this progress to help you gain more rewards, rinse and repeat.
You need to be able to discern which items you should be crafting at any given time- wasting your resources on frivolous items will dwarf your play time and efficiency if your Sim has more pressing needs.
Here are a few of the most important items you should keep in mind while collecting crafting resources. Remember that there is often overlap in the recipes requirements so you will often have to choose between one crafted item and another.
One of the main goals of crafting is to provide another source of energy for your Sim to keep performing actions, and this is one of the items to do just that. The resource requirement seems a bit steep, but this won't be your only source of Energy- just keep these resources in mind and try to save them as much as possible.
Goodwills are pretty easy to get, just do nice things for your neighbors and perform friendly social interactions with them. This should come naturally as you progress through the game. Loves are a result of romantic social interactions, so form a relationship with another Sim and keep using 'flirty' actions. Buzzes are acquired through fun social interactions, things like dancing with other Sims and watching TV with them can get you these. All in all, these +5 Energy coffee cups are mainly a product of social interactions, so try to perform each of these actions in a single social session to be more efficient.
If your Sim doesn't have the 'Sloppy' trait, you will have to do some cleaning around the house to keep everything functional and your Sim happy. Cleaning will inevitably drop the items needed to complete this collection in the Crafting menu, why not cash in on it and get some Energy in the process? If you can scrounge up 4 Cloths, Rubber Gloves, and Dusters, you'll be rewarded with 150 Simoleons and +3 Energy. The Repair Collection is also a good choice if you don't have any other pressing needs for the Wrenches.
There are plenty of craft-able items available that are simply a waste of your time and resources, and it's best to avoid them in most cases. Always read what the reward is for using this item and compare the requirements to other items- would these resources be best spent elsewhere? Are the rewards for this item attainable in more efficient ways?
The requirements for this item are way too steep compared to the reward. Muses are needed throughout the game for quests and advancing your skills, so using them on this potion would be a waste. Loves and Goodwills are required for +5 Energy items, which are far more useful than instant inspiration. Remember, you can become inspired for next to nothing simply by fulfilling your Sims needs- the only one of which requires Energy expenditure is Social, but wouldn't you rather reap the rewards of social interaction than spend those rewards on the same outcome?
The Bad Mood Potion is iffy, it may be good to have one around in case a situation arises where you need to have a bad mood for a quest or to perform a certain action- but this won't be a common scenario so having just one on hand should be sufficient.
Because Sims Social is an online game with constant support and updates, new items and features are always being added. Keep an eye out for new items available for crafting- there may be new permanent additions or some time-sensitive promotional items. These usually have some good qualities and are worth crafting, so check in often to see what the Sims Social team has added.


Shimano has this week announced news of its new XT groupset for 2012, which marks its 30th birthday this year and the latest iteration is set to continue XT as the mountain bikers favourite groupset.
As we'd expect to see, there's some trickle down from the company's flagship XTR, with a choice of a race-ready 2×10 40-28t chainset or a more trail friendly 38-26t offering. There's still a triple option too if you don't want to go down the double road, and there's a choice of three cassettes (11-36T, 11-34T, 11-32T) so something for everyone.
The shifters now benefit form Rapidfire Plus technology which essentially means the force required to change gear is consistent right across the cassette, and Instant, Multi- and 2-Way Release technology give various shifting options.
Three size rotors (160, 180mm and 203mm) are available and use Ice-Tech technology, where a three-layer sandwich structure of an aluminium core and stainless steel outer is used. This design promises better heat handling capacity while reducing the weight. Optional brake pads with aluminium cooling fins (as seen on XTR already) further improve the cooling of the brake pads. Bleeding is also easier now.


This started out as a panel. A friend bought it and the peg board and border fabric at a quilt retreat several years ago. Then it sat. When I was helping her move her sewing room I offered to make it for her and brought it home — where it sat a few more years. I added it to the Crazy Challenge II list in October. It was delivered on Sunday.
It was about 55 x 75 before washing. Although not really visible in the picture, I used Susie's Magic Binding, using a rusty-red for the accent color. It nearly matches the red stripe in the border and more importantly allowed me to use the remaining peg board fabric as the binding.
It has Hobb's Tuscany 100% cotton batting in it and I used Cairo-Quilt thread in Military Gold in the top and a beige pre-wound bobbin.
This quilt is on my 4th Quarter Finish Along List and will be linked up to On the Windy Side when the linky opens.

Can Jeb Rebrand 'Bush'?
Bush team eyes tough primary fight with social-media push and warning of "Our McGovern."
Ron Fournier and National Journal
DETROIT, MI - FEBRUARY 4: Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush speaks at the Detroit Economic Club February 4, 2015 in Detroit, Michigan. Bush, the son of former republican President George H.W. Bush and the brother of former republican President George W. Bush, is considering becoming a republican candidate for the 2016 presidential election.National Journal
DETROIT—His father was a post-Cold War statesman, loser of his 1992 reelection bid. His brother was a "compassionate conservative," a two-termer who left office wildly unpopular. Now it's Jeb Bush's turn—he thinks—and he's scratching out plans to revitalize the family brand.
The former Florida governor wants to be known as a 21st-century conservative—a leader who applies right-of-center policies to traditionally Democratic issues: wage stagnation, income inequality, and declining social mobility.
Two weeks ago, President Obama offered a progressive prescription that included raising taxes on the wealthy to pay for tax cuts and programs for low- and middle-class Americans. Bush's retort: Economic recovery under Obama has been "very little and has come very late."
"The American Dream has become a mirage for far too many," Bush said in the first major speech of his unofficial presidential campaign. He called improving economic opportunity "an urgent issue."
As the epicenter of middle-class growth and decline in the 20th century, Detroit is an attractive metaphor for presidential candidates promising revival—even when the politicians, like Bush, carry old or vague ideas into the city and pander to the elite. Bush addressed the well-heeled Detroit Economic Club and toured a hot new manufacturing plant, Shinola, where expensive watches and bikes are marketed as part of Detroit's rebirth narrative.
"I know some in the media think conservatives don't care about cities. But they're wrong," Bush said. Everybody has a right to success, Bush added, "So let's go where the ideas matter the most, where the failure of liberal policies are the most obvious."
His message is aimed squarely at white working-class and middle-class Americans who, along with young "millennial" voters, are seeping from the Democratic Party under President Obama.
Many of these disaffected Americans are children and grandchildren of "Reagan Democrats," the term used for traditionally Democratic voters who defected to Ronald Reagan in 1980 and, in smaller numbers, to President George H.W. Bush (Jeb's father) in 1988. Identified by Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg in the Detroit suburbs of Macomb County, these voters tended to be moderate Democrats who are more conservative than liberal on issues such as national security, immigration, and race.
The day before Bush's speech, I talked to a couple dozen voters at Macomb County Community College and found intense ambiguity. They are unhappy with the unfulfilled promise of Obama ("He was supposed to bring people together," said Charlotte Hurst, an 83-year-old black retiree waiting for her daughter and grandson to finish their classes) and alarmed by the harsh rhetoric of the Hard Right ("Some of those guys are just crazy," said Carolyn Pawlicki, a 20-year-old independent from Dearborn, Mich.).
Every voter I met spoke of two things. First, their frustration with the cost of higher education in an economy that virtually requires one or more degrees; they appreciate Obama's proposal for free community college, but worry about its cost to the federal treasury. Second, their disillusionment with the U.S. political system; neither party seems capable of reversing the decades-old decline of economic opportunity that is so palpable here.
"The way they go about it in Washington—one side against the other, bickering, and nothing gets done," said Mary Feighner, 21, of St. Clair Shores, Mich. "They argue like little children."
In his essay "The Emerging Republican Advantage," my colleague John B. Judis wrote:
The White House understands that Democrats have a problem with white working-class and middle-class voters and is now calling for a "middle-class tax cut" aimed squarely at them. Yet the Democratic nominee in 2016 will still have to shoulder the size-of-government and who-benefits-from-tax-dollars grievances created by Obama's initial spending programs and by the Affordable Care Act.
The Democrats' best chances in next year's elections will come if Republicans run candidates identified with the Religious Right or the tea party or the GOP's plutocratic wing. If Republicans are smart, they will nominate for president someone in the mold of George W. Bush in 2000 or the numerous GOP Senate candidates who won last year—a politician who runs from the center-right, soft-pedals social issues, including immigration, critiques government without calling for abolishing the income tax and Social Security, and displays a good ol' boy empathy for the less well-to-do. Such a candidate would cater to the Republican advantage among the middle class without alienating the white working class.
Bush wants to be that candidate—the sensible conservative who appeals to white working-class and middle-class voters. But he has to win the GOP nomination first—and that will be a far harder task for the former Florida governor than it was for his father or his brother, George W. Bush.
His team is worried about two things: Will fire-breathing conservatives bury his candidacy in its crib? Can the candidate and his team adapt to vast changes in electoral politics?
On the first challenge, people close to Bush freely acknowledge the potential for 2016 becoming what one called "our McGovern year—a reference to 1972 Democratic nominee George McGovern, an unabashed liberal who lost to Richard Nixon by nearly 25 percentage points. Early voting states Iowa and South Carolina favor the most conservative candidates in GOP nomination fights, and New Hampshire "is no no-brainer," one Bush source told me.
Michigan is an important piece of the nomination puzzle. Bush wants the state's primary and its moderate electorate to be his candidacy's early-voting firewall, but local party leaders are angling for a later primary or caucus date to preserve the state's convention delegates. Former GOP Gov. John Engler is close to the Bush team and may be counted on to lobby state officials on the candidate's behalf.
On the second challenge, Bush has directed his team to exploit social and digital media like no other presidential candidate. In December, Bush used a low-quality mobile phone video to announce that he was "actively considering" a presidential run. (Make no mistake: He's running.)
On Tuesday, a staff member toting a cutting-edge mobile video camera shot footage of Bush touring Shinola. The footage was being edited and posted online—the first of many day-in-the-life online videos that aides hope will go viral.
In a speech heavy on themes and light on substance, Bush called Washington "a company town" and described his economic philosophy as "growth above all," a phrase that will make conservative economists happy.
He called for fewer and modernized government regulations, government reform, and improved schools in both rich and poor neighborhoods.
In a question-and-answer session with club members, Bush said his family's legacy would be both a challenge and opportunity. He hopes to connect "on a human level with people" and offer uplifting policies "so when they think of me, they'll think that I'm on their side and the issues I care about will help them rise up."
Introduced as the father of Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush, the former Florida governor didn't run away from the family name. "I'm pretty proud of 41 and 43," he said, referring to his father and brother by the numerical order of their presidencies. "I know that's hard for the political world to accept."
On America's relationship with the Bushes, Jeb is about to find out how much more people will accept.

Description	 I changed my pc und installed new version of jcl. JvMail now don't work with Outlook 2003. But it does with Thunderbird, Outlook Express, Lotus Notes and David Tobit.
It always generate Error "Gereral MAPI Error 2". This error is tested on ca. 10 computers, most of them with xp, some with win2000 und my own with vista.
It then used the MailExample form the demos:the same. The i started an old version of my programm with jcl 1.101: the function worked.
With the MailExample even download is possible on my system. On the pc in company it crashed, too. It doesn't matter, if Outlook is synchronized with a pop account or with an exchange account.
This should be fixed in Revision 12493 of JvMail.pas.
Workaround is to manually set the Name property of the recipients before calling SendMail.
Thank you, this works fine for me.
Wasn't this an already fixed bug?
I don't know. This bug was caused by a removal of an insidious "With" statement in one of the last revisions.

24-Apr-2006 -- With so many confluence points untaken in Ethiopia I thought it would be a formality to tick off a few during my two-months stay. However, nothing fell my way while leading tours in the North, and despite a foray down south to the Bale Mountains, I was left empty handed. It was left to my penultimate day in the country to go in search of one not far from Addis.
The last remaining member of my departing group Grant aka 'the captain', joined me in the quest despite having to catch a plane the same evening. After negotiating a reasonable fee with a taxi, we set off on the main road directly west out of Addis. The supposedly terrible road was in fact pretty good and in many parts recently surfaced and repaired. It took about 3 hours to reach the town of Gīnch'ī, which on the map appears very close to the Confluence. It was in fact about another 10 km drive to get to the nearest point accessible by road, leaving us with a 3 km walk across open fields.
Our walk through the fields caused a considerable herd of children to follow us. Familiar cries of "You, give me Birr!", and "Where are you going?" grew tiresome, so I told them we were walking to Sudan. This had the desired effect, so by the time we reached the Confluence we were alone.
Being in an open area, the site of the Confluence offers good views over the surrounding fields, local settlements and tasty wildlife.
Our journey back proved uneventful, managing to dodge the kids who were surprised to learn Sudan was so close. Grant was able to catch his flight home; the cowboy cabbie made a nice buck, and I finally had an Ethiopian Confluence.


In Q4 2018, consumer prices on Saba were back at the level of one year previously. In the preceding quarter, consumers on Saba paid 4.4 percent more for goods and services year-on-year. On Bonaire, prices in Q4 2018 were 3.4 percent up on the previous year, while prices rose by 1.1 percent on St Eustatius. This is reported by Statistics Netherlands (CBS) on the basis of the Caribbean Netherlands consumer price index (CPI).
In the period in Q4 2017 immediately following Hurricane Irma, prices of many goods and services on Saba rose considerably; the average price level still saw a modest increase in the ensuing period, but the trend came to a halt in Q4 2018 as consumer prices fell to their lowest level of the entire year, ending at exactly the same level as one year previously. Saba's telephone and internet services saw a 13.0 percent price decrease last year while foodstuffs dropped in price by 2.0 percent on average. On the other hand, materials for maintenance and repair of dwellings became 4.7 percent more expensive while clothing and footwear prices rose as well.
In Q4 2018, households on Bonaire paid 3.4 percent more for goods and services year-on-year, against 3.5 percent more year-on-year in Q3. The increase in average price level was slowed down by the price development of petrol. On the other hand, the price development of furniture and fresh fruit pushed up the consumer price index; fruit became 4.4 percent more expensive than one year previously.
In Q4 2018, prices of goods and services on St Eustatius were up by 1.1 percent year-on-year, similar to the increase in Q3. Clothing and footwear as well as potatoes became more expensive, which had an upward effect on the consumer price index. In 2018, potatoes went up in price by 13.3 percent. Prices of fresh vegetables dropped by 9.6 percent, curbing the consumer price index.
The average consumer price level on Bonaire in 2018 was 3.4 percent up year-on-year. On Saba, prices were 2.6 percent up; St Eustatius saw on average the smallest consumer price increase at 1.3 percent.
Figures referring to Q4 2018 and to the year 2018 are provisional and will become definitive upon publication of the figures over Q1 2019.

Former Flight Attendant, Crash Survivor Leads 24 Year Battle To Change Flying Rules For Young Children
From FORBES –Logistics & Transportation|9/09/2013 @ 3:25PM |John Goglia, Contributor -I write about the airline industry and aviation safety
Jan Lohr-Brown's crusade to change air safety rules for young passengers began in a wreckage-strewn cornfield in Iowa on a warm July day in 1989. Having just survived the horrific plane crash that took the lives of 112 passengers, Ms. Lohr-Brown, the senior flight attendant on the ill-fated United Airlines Flight 232, faced an even more difficult situation: a confrontation with the distraught mother of a 22-month old child who had perished in the crash. The mother blamed Ms. Lohr-Brown for the child's death.
As the plane prepared for an emergency landing at Sioux City's airport – after shrapnel from an uncontained engine failure on the DC-10 aircraft had severed all three hydraulic lines and basically left the aircraft without flight controls – flight attendants prepared passengers for a crash landing. Parents of lap children were told to wrap them in blankets, place them on the floor and hold them with their hands and feet. Unfortunately, despite heroic efforts by the crew and an off-duty DC-10 instructor pilot, the aircraft's touchdown on the runway was marred when the wing hit the ground, causing the aircraft to catapult into the cornfield adjacent to the airport.
No parent's hands or legs were strong enough to withstand the G-forces of that catapulting aircraft. No parents' limbs could be. One lap child somehow landed inside an overhead luggage bin and was rescued. One child, the one who still haunts Ms. Lohr-Brown, did not survive. His name was Evan Tsao. Since his mother and everyone around him survived, chances are his fate would have been very different if FAA regulations had required him to be properly restrained in his own seat. They did not and to this day, FAA rules do not require children under the age of two to be properly restrained in their own seat.

Ms. Lohr-Brown's campaign for the last 24 years has been to change those rules so that children under the age of two have the same chances of surviving a crash or even rough air as older passengers. While garnering the support of many safety advocates – and even getting the FAA to publish on its website that children under the age of two are safe flying only when properly restrained in their seats – the rule change she has long lobbied for has not been enacted.
But Ms. Lohr-Brown does not give up easily. She's taken the battle directly to the White House with a petition drive to "end lap children on planes". According to the petition, created on September 5, it seeks to require the FAA to "end the practice of lap children on all commercial aviation flights by mandating children under the age of two years old be required to purchase a seat" and be properly restrained. The petition seeks to gather 100,000 signatures by October 5, 2013.
I have known Ms. Lohr-Brown for more than a decade. We first met when I was an NTSB Member and she came to lobby me on lap children. Little did she know then that I was already committed to the same cause through personal experience. My own commitment to changing the lap child rule came as a result of the 1994 crash of a USAir aircraft on approach to Charlotte. I was the lead accident investigator for the IAM, USAir's mechanic's union. An image indelibly seared in my mind is a firefighter holding the remains of a dead lap child. The mother survived. Her arms were not strong enough to withstand the G-forces of the hurtling aircraft after it was hit by a microburst and crashed on landing.

The United States isn't a "democracy." Though every American should have learned this fact in high school civics class, the smart set still like to ridicule people who point it out—such a cliche and all.
Today we see why the left has worked to convince Americans that majoritarianism is a profound moral good. And it's not just that the political class is going through another silly debate about the suddenly inconvenient Electoral College. It's that Democrats are increasingly comfortable attacking foundational ideas of American governance.
"My view is that every vote matters, and the way we can make that happen is that we can have national voting, and that means get rid of the Electoral College—and every vote counts," Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said this week. It looks as if most Democratic Party presidential hopefuls are following her lead.
It might come as a surprise to many Americans that their losing ballots don't count in elections, which is why we disperse power in this country—to protect political and geographical minorities.
As anyone who's looked at a history of electoral maps can see, the most closely fought-over states are always changing because the issues Americans care about are always changing. Today much of the divide is among urban, rural, and suburban areas, making the Electoral College even more vital.
It's correct that politicians in statewide races tend to campaign everywhere. It is also true that in the end, it is urban areas that predominately elect Democrats, not rural ones.
In direct national elections—with vast spaces to cover and limited time to campaign—candidates would be incentivized to rack up as many votes as they could in accessible urban areas with huge media markets. The Electoral College, imperfect as it is, forces candidates to moderate their views, create coalitions, and appeal to voters is disparate areas.
For instance, trying to delegitimize Donald Trump's 2016 victory by pointing to Hillary Clinton's "popular vote" victory is one of the most dishonest political arguments going—not merely because the "popular vote" is mythical and irrelevant but also because Trump ran a campaign focused on appealing to the Electoral College.
If Republican presidential candidates concentrated their efforts on the huge untapped reserve of GOP voters in big states, the "popular vote" in 2016 would have looked very different. The problem is that we'd always have two candidates vying for voters in New York and California.
What's truly silly is treating proposed constitutional amendments as if they were equally consequential.
No, there's nothing particularly radical about partisans proposing additions that reflect their positions (a balanced budget amendment or an equal rights amendment). None of the ones the GOP has proposed fundamentally challenges one of the core ideas of our governing process.
The idea of maintaining proportional voting and states' rights and decentralized power is not the same as an amendment dealing with bookkeeping.

No-Match Letters — They Are in the Mail
In July 2018, the SSA notified employers that it was resuming the practice
Richard D. Alaniz
Many employers still recall opening a letter from the Social Security Administration (SSA) informing them that the name or Social Security number (SSN) reported on a recent wage report does not match a name or SSN in the SSA's records. At times, the letter listed numerous individuals with a mismatch. The question for employers was what to do and when to do it. The answers were not always clear.
They're Back
For the past seven years, no mismatch letters have been issued by the SSA. Unfortunately, they are soon to be in the mail to many employers again. In July 2018, the SSA notified employers that it was resuming the practice, effective January 2019. Stopping the issuance of those letters was one of the areas the Trump administration cited as an example of the government failing to enforce immigration laws. Reviving the policy of issuing such letters goes hand in hand with the dramatically increased use of Notices of Inspection (NOIs) — otherwise known as I-9 audits — that we have seen in recent months. They are both, along with renewed workplace raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), integral parts of the administration's all-encompassing focus on illegal immigration.
What Can Be Done If You Get a Letter?
So, the question of what to do and when upon receiving a no-match letter will again arise very soon. The guidance on what an employer must do is provided in the SSA's Frequently Asked Questions about no-match letters. What must be done is relatively clear. The first step is to try "to confirm that a reporting or input error is not the cause of a no-match." To do this the employer, in conjunction with the employee, should try to confirm that the name and SSN submitted correctly reflect the employee's name and SSN. This can be accomplished by a brief meeting with the employee to review the relevant documents. If no error in the information is apparent, the employer should refer the employee to the local SSA office to attempt to resolve the no-match. The step of attempting to confirm apparent errors in name or SSN should occur relatively quickly after receipt of a no-match letter. While no specific time frame is mandated, an employer wants to respond reasonably to such a government notice in case questions arise later regarding the employer's conduct and whether it employed someone that was not authorized to work.
The question of how long an employer should wait for final resolution of the no-match notice before taking action is more difficult. As the SSA guidance notes, there are no regulations that set out any specific time frame or define what would be a reasonable period of time to address and correct information or otherwise resolve the mismatch. They do note that in the e-verify context, SSA can provide a continuance of 120 days for a tentative nonconfirmation of work authorization. That would therefore seem to be the outside limit that might be considered reasonable. When no-match letters were arriving on almost a monthly basis, many employers used a 90-day rule of thumb as a reasonable period for lack of more definitive guidance. There are no reported cases where that was deemed to be an unreasonably long period.
What Causes an SSN Mismatch?
One of the more frequently asked questions involving such letters is what causes a mismatch. There are a variety of possible causes, including simple reporting errors by an employer or employee. The error may merely be transposed numbers, missing numbers, name errors, or typing errors. In some cases, the mismatch results from input errors by SSA staff. It may also be the result of serious misconduct such as identity theft or fraud. A name change by the employee, usually because the employee recently married, is usually a common cause of a no-match letter. Employees that have hyphenated last names also seem to receive no-match letters more frequently. Ultimately, the discrepancy must be resolved.
If it is a simple incorrect recording error, the employer can correct its records and submit Form W-2c, a Corrected Wage and Tax Statement. Sometimes employees merely quit or fail to respond when confronted about the mismatch by the employer. On some rare occasions, an employee will admit to being unauthorized to work. The only reasonable employer response at that point is immediate termination. In some cases, an employee may claim that after checking with SSA, they are unable to explain the discrepancy. Here, an employer can either risk continuing to employ the individual or terminate employment and hope that no viable legal complaint is raised. Neither option is the ideal response — the situation probably warrants consulting with counsel or other professionals on immigration matters before taking action.
A No-Match Letter Is Not Evidence That an Employee Lacks Work Authorization
It is clear that a no-match letter, in and of itself, cannot constitute "constructive knowledge" of lack of work authorization. Only the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) can make such a legal conclusion, which usually involves a totality of the circumstances review. If an employer were to rely upon the no-match letter as a basis for taking adverse action against the employee at issue, it could violate the anti-discrimination rules of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Can You Reduce the Chance of Getting a Letter?
The SSA guidance does suggest at least one proactive step that employers might want to take to try to minimize receiving a no-match letter. It would involve the employer using the Social Security Number Verification Service (SSNVS). This is a free online service available to employers to verify the name and SSNs of employees using SSA file records. There is also available to employers an automated telephone service, Telephone Number Employer Verification (TNEV) that is similar to the SSNVS. These two verification services can only be used for confirming wage reporting issues, not to verify work authorization. Such improper use could be deemed illegal. Use of either of these information confirmation services would permit the employer to correct any obvious errors and thus reduce the likelihood of their wage reports being flagged.
If you receive a no-match letter in 2019 or thereafter, it is best to be as responsive as possible because you will be under the scrutiny of two agencies of the federal government, SSA and IRS. Neither is fun to deal with!
