How Much Are Uggs At Marshalls

kasadeya @ 2007-12-08T17: 41 : 00

a friend of mine Russian housemaid fell in love with my neighbor's Italian. love so that it blows the roof and it makes one blunder after another, does not control myself. every day, catch up with me, she asked me for advice, asked to assess her frantic behavior from the outside, tell her the truth, to reason. I see everything is fine and I say that in his 40 years, it looks terribly silly if not stupid and naive, sending 10 smsok tear in the day, calling on his phone shut off, casually strolling by its windows and not wanting to understand his frank allusions to the fact that he is, in principle, no objection to her sleep, but the more she should not expect, maybe, nothing serious they can not be ... and in general he is busy with another girl younger than her and throw this girl is not going to. and now every day I tell her that she must be confident in itself, we must love and respect themselves, to value their dignity, to stop doing stupid - do anything, just do not expose themselves to ridicule and then .... I think that because I'm in this situation at all can not control myself and all that my present-day wisdom somewhere disappears, despite the same support and the support of faithful friends, and I'm so straight and want to substitute itself for patients with stroke unrequited feelings .... and I thought, what if in fact it is just some country needs in our body, which should not limit and constrain? just at this particular time we need to tread a little alienated feet ...? :)

Spanish Reception Cards

m & f

watching your friends and family members of female new-generation I made an interesting discovery. those girls whose mothers were housewives and devoted the best years of their lives, be they in their own adult life, not simply unwilling, but are afraid of ... and conversely, those whose mothers all time is very busy and engaged in more than his career and making money than the family, want and dream to be exemplary housewives and devote himself more beloved husband i home, work, possibly on a part-time or so that it just was not at the expense of the family. Another interesting fact is that almost in each family change this choice ezhepokolenno alternates. :) I am, to my shame, disgust and condemnation of many (including his own mother), it is my initial priorities, family and sentimental relationships and believe that you can not do well to finish two things at once, although I admit that if at home and in relations prevail comfort, understanding and peace, the work of both spouses will run more efficiently and be happy. I think, chto feeling family comes from a woman, and this requires its continuous presence in a calm, positive, loving, affectionate mood. and if it all the time not at home, and when she returned from work, she wound up tired and exhausted, all flying to the devil and Nike money such a relationship (and a family) will not be saved. but this is just my humble opinion ... which I myself do not agree to periodically, maybe, I see that for most men, still the main thing is not the family as something more robust, durable, their, and the partner with whom beneficial to live together. because, as you rightly said editor in chief of GQ, Nikolai Uskov, men's attitudes and women in the new world is gradually taking hue business relationship storoyaschihsya better on trust, mutual respect, equality, vzaimovygode sovmetnogo stay calm and "we are approaching each other," in which marriage is for reasons of benefits in terms of nalooblazheniya and children are planned in advance, While the passion, love and the rest zamorochki become outdated and unfashionable.

during this last trip to Riga, your obedience had time to be as much at the St. Pete! it was necessary to accompany group of kids (16) Winners various competitions in Russian and literature, which organizes the Moscow House in Riga. they were supposed to go to St. Petersburg in the international camp on cultural exchange. My mother, being a member of the board of the House of Moscow, was to go with them, but at the last moment the headmaster in which it operates would not let her, and she, in a matter of urgency, we had to find a replacement. I agreed. traveled by train to the general car:)), lived on Sestroretsk resort (something vrode Spa), 40 minute bus ride from the center (if no traffic jams). together with us in the same camp were a group of children from Lithuania, Estonia and Ukraine. Every day we had some sightseeing and then classes (creative workshop) at the school next to the Smolny. 9 days stay, we had was taken to a museum of Pushkin, Blok, Derzhavin Akhmatova, were also in the Hermitage, the Savior on the Blood, St. Isaac's Cathedral and the Russian Museum (where I stood for 20 minutes before a picture of your favorite Kuindzhi "Night on the Dnieper River"! :) Almost every evening disco and organized various activities.

Where To Buy Waterpik In Singapore

Apprendre

I must admit to not being a great "fan" of the French language. So far all attempts to approach the familiarity of this language was rewarded by rules abstruse and incomprehensible differences between the spoken and written (type: Learn the conjugation of this verb see ..? Pense, penses, I think, pensons, pensez, pensent. But ... .. here except "pensons" and "pensez" all others are pronounced the same way)

But now I have reconciled with the French language: I discovered something that makes me appreciate enormously.

The verb "Apprendre" is Italian is "Learning" Italian who "teach" ...

Now, you might think that I am simply exercising my sarcasm, but I really like this thing .. the teacher is the teacher student .., .. alunnno learning to teach "and" teach to learn "activities are closely linked ...

I have always been afflicted by the curse of the masters: "You only learn by teaching, only saying you'll understand."

Now I know there is a language in which this philosophy is implicitly present ... Yet another thread

Unchecked? Checked?

use Checked or Unchecked Exception ..

All very sensible arguments and which can be used to make yet another examination of conscience:
1 - but "checked exception" are useful or are a nuisance?
2 - but if I find any time to do try .. catch, how many times it is the fault of the language and how many times my fault?
(actually the start of the speech was "since the checked are cumbersome when trying to define a construct of closures, is that maybe this means that the case get rid of it?" .. A I do not know this answer ..)


My position is "borrowed" (read: copied :-) Article Effective Java Exceptions
In this view, one should distinguish between "unforeseen conditions" (default) and "rare conditions (contingencies) modeling the first with exceptions" unchecked "and the latter with conditions" checked ".

By the way .. (But maybe I was back)
An example they are using to make the reasoning is as follows:

public User login (String username, char [] password) throws LoginFailedException

What puzzles me is that one of mantra of the exceptions that I learned (I think it was from Effective Java) "Use exceptions for exceptional circumstances."

But it is unusual for a user types the wrong password? or write to the wrong audience?
In this case I expect that the return value gives the information if the login is correct or not (ie a value User.UNAUTHENTICATED to say "no, you have not been authenticated").

For me, the statement would be:

public User login (String username, char [] password)

The login could return a UserRepositoryFaultException (unchecked) when they can not or has trouble connecting with your DB, LDAP (but would not make sense to expose a SQLException or LDAPException).

But then, when it 'which I will use the checked? When I know I can do using the API operation to resolve the rare condition. Later for an example ... This time

After Food Poisoning Gas

ORA-01919

I have always maintained that the name "Oracle" was due to the skills of divination needed to interpret the error messages ..

Here's one more example, from a colleague who wanted sottopostomi gods ... (Oracle 10.2.0.1)

system> create user IDENTIFIED BY foo foo;
Created user.

system> alter user default role connect foo, foo
alter user default role connect

* ERROR at line 1: ORA-01919
: role 'CONNECT' does not exist


system> grant connect to foo;
Grant succeeded.

system> alter user default role connect foo;
Modified user.

So ... the problem is trivial ... you can not tell the database to set a specific default role to a user if this user does not have first assigned the role .. okay ...
Of course the error message could be clearer ... (I would have expected a ORA-01924:, role 'string' not Granted or does not exist ").

It 's like a football midfielder told a "day games start as a goalkeeper" and instead of answering "But I never did the doorman!" say "Look at that in football you do not use gatekeepers!"

usability of Windows

I was reviewing a speech with pleasure on YouTube of Littizzetto about Windows and its stability: a part of yet another request (the first one I thought was Cricket) to make a computer "simpler, with 3 or 4 functions "made me laugh too much of our reactions to the bugs in front of LL of the operating system or programs (" if you copy and paste, you change the character ... but not just the font .. even your! ").

add one thing:
1 - my BabboOS has only those functions that are used to my father
2 - Billy do a telling example to a computer as simple as a coffee maker is not a smart move, because for an American the Moka is a mysterious thing, it has no buttons or lights, no moving parts .. and also the liquid that comes out is for him undrinkable.
3 - the bug happens, the operating system that crashes can happen suddenly ... but what should not happen is this

Scenario:
're writing an important document (chennesò. .. you're in a trance competition "and you're finally able to write those 10 pages of your central thesis in a clear and finally correct) and at one point there 'sound of an error message, a popup appears that says about this ...

"Warning! E 'was found a fatal error. All the work could be lost since the last save"
... you already know that will be lost, and you're starting to think with nostalgia of the old Underwood of your grandfather ... but the worst has not arrived yet ...
"Press OK to continue" [OK]

Ok?
Okey?
Occhei?
O ** or say fag, piece of *** to! M! But are you completely stupid?? I mean, you're chopping the work of the last two hours and do not ask me glad to accept this fact with an "OK"?

But rather give me a choice of:
"Press [Good grief! But bad luck black! Oh well .. if not there 'own way of going, do you restart the program] to continue "

Want to react as best you? It' s always a matter of perception ...
Or even the legendary" Do you want to send the information of ' error to Microsoft? "should be accompanied by a number next to" How did inca ** are you this error? "so at least you acknowledged that you and your mood you are worth something ...

Denise Melani Niple Slip

One comment I do not hate very effective

Today I was trying a script made by a colleague and I bumped against another not-too-natural behavior of Oracle (sqlplus, in particular).

But as usual as we put the quiz:

Following this sequence of commands (where 'table1', "table2" "Table 3" and the user "user" there) what is the output to sqlplus [of course, with "feedback on"]?
 
/ * do the permissions * / grant select on table1 to
user;
user to grant select on table2;
/ * added * Table 3 /
user to grant select on Table 3;

[1] 2 Posts of "granting failed"
[2] 3 messages "concession failed"
[3] 4 messages concession failed "


The answer in the first comment ..

Oracle ..

Of course it is sometimes difficult ...

select LPAD (ltrim ('\u0026lt;string>', '0 '), 4, '0') from dual

What does this SQL query?
Well .. takes the string that I put in the place of \u0026lt;string>, removes all the zeros that are left and then makes it again to the left padding with zeros, until a string of 4 characters.

For example: if
STRING is 0000000000123, the result is 0123
if STRING is 023, the result is 0023
if STRING is 0000000, the result is 0000

ERROR! Since the second
Oracle, there is no 'difference between an empty string ('') and a \u0026lt;null> the query result is null ...

grrrrr ...
the correct version then:
select LPAD (LTRIM (NVL ('\u0026lt;string>', '0 '), '0'), 4, '0 ') from dual

Legends of IT support

Today on WTF there' one of the most 'famous urban legends about computer support to users.

There are historical:
- complains that the computer does not work but then fails to say if the cables are attached because the lights are out for a blackout
- complains that the sw does not work from a floppy 5 , 25''after the label attached to the floppy with the stapler

In my experience the most 'and pretty' as follows:
when I was still in the CED of a large company, we called a group of ten consultants' high level "and had them locked in a closet where we put 10 PCs (more than 626 law .. even the basement in an office where I work now seems serious in comparison).

One day there was only one of the consultants in the closet and had made up his mind to install a sw on the machines of all my colleagues.
Call to a colleague saying, "I can not share my CD player in the network."

My colleague goes into the room and heads for the ' we had one PC with a CD player. imagine his surprise when he heard: "No, my PC is that."

I enclose a picture of the computer model to help you understand where he slipped on the CD.
Compaq modello Armada. Notare la fessura tra i due slot disponibili sulla destra
What makes me laugh the most is that he simply said "the CD does not work" but "I can not share my CD over the network."

The Creator Of The Puffle

But I live in a Dilbert cartoon?

Well .. more 'than once I realized the terrible parallels ... went to see the site the Dilbert cartoon of March 21, 2007 (until it is available). The strip covers the idea of "genius" to increase productivity to prevent the use of e-mail on Friday. Pointy haired boss

: In order to boost productivity, the company has Decided That employees can not use e-mail on frydays
Alice: What if my Highest Priorities require e-mail? Should I waste my day doing worthless stuff? Pointy haired
boss: Geez. Somehow you made a great idea ridicolous look.
Alice Yeah, that's all me.

compare with a real case:
[to a customer a few years ago]

Client: now consultants will not be 'more' allowed access to the Internet. We do not have enough bandwidth for everyone in the company.
Consultant: ...

[2 days later]
Client: but how, in the release of today do not you put that new development.
Consultant: as a new development? we agreed the changes to the meeting the day before yesterday ..
Client: you, but then there was that urgent changes ... I sent you an email ..
Consultant: [look at half mast] on my corporate email?
Client: you ... um ... uhm ... maybe we need a moment to review the policy for Internet access ..
[premise: no, there had provided users on their mail system]

Fatal Overdose Zopiclone

And who kills them?

Republic (http://www.repubblica.it/2007/03/sezioni/scienza_e_tecnologia/malaria/malaria/malaria.html )

(...)
transgenic malaria mosquito
"This is not infected and is more durable." The aim is to substitute other species. The disease kills nearly three million people a year worldwide
(...)

Now .. I am confident in the possibilities of science, but I think sometimes we try to solve problems in a little 'too' virtuoso. Maybe someone should read about the "butterfly effect" or the complexity of an ecosystem.

's like saying "the average temperature is rising as a solution ... we can remove the earth from the sun."

may also be a good idea for a movie ... you create transgenic mosquitoes are more resistant (to cold and malaria, to insecticides) and then discover that they are carriers of new diseases. brrrr ...

If now I could get my project to eliminate mosquitoes with low-energy laser pulses ...

How Much Personalized Plates In Ontario

English: Do not exceed recommended dose ..

Yesterday I spent half a day to kick-off of my company: all the major leaders have expressed their feelings for the past year and their expectations for the future.

do not have much to say about the content .. If anything, I have doubts about the form:
"We've expanded the offering , more defined our proposition, and increased volumes"
"We achieved double-digit percentage "
'There is a sense of urgency in this field "

Now, I am a computer and some" defenses " a sword is the mother tongue in the specialist field results I think have also ridiculous (see the "raton" English and "logiciel" French).

But heck, when you start replacing random Italian words with their literal translation in English (without even a reduction in the number of bytes :-) then we slip in the excess .. this is not a fault of my business, please, just hear the interviews with the Italian businessmen.

Yes, yes ... I read too many articles Severgnini

:-) Oh, one point less than the manager who repeated two times in the same sentence " skills" - if you want to use English words in an Italian phrase I do the holy pleasure of using the singular.

PS: in Italian translates as "Kick-off"? "You know, we went to the kick-off company." No, I know because I almost managed to avoid running into the same error that I'm censoring (tempted to say "business men" instead of "business" was strong) ... but its "kick-off" does not know how to translate it effectively.

How Often Do You Use A Deep Clean Cleanser?

We're human, we're amnesia machines

But if we were not able to forget? If every time that we were wrong, we're all ashamed of ourselves ... if any remorse, any fault in the brain was impressed as vivid as the moment when it really happened? Can you think of something else? Will we live? Or how would those who are open to contemplation of Zahir, lost to the world of things ...

then maybe we would not be destined to relive endlessly the same story, same time? And I say, ad infinitum .. also because our mental time would need to bow to the memory. Just a second thought to relive the story over and over again (or to give us the impression of infinite times), just a moment to relive our entire human history ..

If you want the literary examples of such "paradoxes" of mind and time, there are "The Secret Miracle" by Borges (to whom I owe the discovery of the Zahir) and "The end of the world and the country of wonders" of Murakami .. The quote

instead of the title is much to be geek, no?

Does Queen Size Bed Fit In Cargo Van

www.insac.com

:-) Ok, I'm in the mood for "little sea change," ...
Since lately I've been quite active on the blog I finally decided to point my domain www.insac.com on these pages (thanks to Enrico for the invaluable help).

The first consequence is that I had to go in to "Plus" LiveJournal and this means that you will see some advertisements here and there ... never mind ..

The second consequence is that I am trying to customize the look of these pages struggling with the capabilities of LiveJournal ... attempts may cause slight attacks of epilepsy ... I hope to converge quickly to something bearable ..

PS: I was about to conclude when I correct .. Everywhere I wrote "books" instead of "novels" but I was making a mistake: where is "Escher, Godel and Bach: an eternal Golden Braid" or "Nexus"? In fact, the original article in the Guardian spoke of "geek novels", not "geek books"

There 's an Excel spreadsheet for every occasion

This is the phrase, now famous, a colleague of mine:
in fact for everything he does, he decides, he thinks, there 'Its always a excel sheet with the information.

You put on a diet? Excel spreadsheet with the trend of weight
play volleyball? Excel spreadsheet with the results of matches
going on holiday? Excel spreadsheet with the stuff to pack

Now he has bought a house .. and clearly is an orgy of new Excel spreadsheets for everything ..

Passing behind his computer, at some point see the map of his house, with the arrangement of the furniture and displocazione houses. I approach to see what software he used e. .. (Zero suspense)

.. it was an Excel spreadsheet ...

He made the sheet-like graph paper with square cells equivalent to 10cm square.

Please .. tell me that the rest the world is not so ...

But Ajax is it? Calling all translators

For those who take seriously the question, I recommend the Wikipedia page on Ajax.

But clearly I just wanted to mention one of my usual Naneddoti:
about a year ago, we were in a meeting with a potential customer, and we begin to talk about what makes a platform developed by us.
Among the customers there 's also one of my former university fellow and I think "Great! Support! An engineer! How lucky I am."

do not know why, the discussion ends up on Ajax: I confess that when I had a great familiarity on the subject, just those few concepts useful for a chat in a pub. I end up talking a bit 'and I say "Yes, indeed .. the dynamism offered by the paradigm Ajax ..."

confess that perhaps too many times I read Dilbert, and therefore the choice of the word "paradigm" may have been a "crap" and in fact my ex-colleague stops me, and, with the authority given to him by his great experience in says:

"No, Ajax is not a paradigm .... is a language! "

.. to me at that point are (I think rightly) ball rolling off my chair .. I think I began to mutter things like "well, actually it is an innovative way to use technology already "but I saw that already looked at me with an air of compassion for those who have caught a fake expert" ... oh, well ... hopefully later he realized the error.

It reminded me of when in 1996 he felt the interviews Internet and had asked the library of my hometown "These days there is much talk of the Internet, but what the Internet" and "Internet is a program that ..." (GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)

But then they were also the same time to ask if the newspaper had "Internet News" we hear, "No, here we only Forza Milan :-)

Sensory Deprivation Chamber

...

Meanwhile, for one thing, or translators, thank you ..
tuute without you I speak the languages of the world, or lost works (movies, books, software) that instead I can enjoy thanks to your efforts.

Second: I am (in part) account of the difficult problems you face when you need to bring ideas, scenes, and choices "linguistic virtuosity" from one language to another. Also why the works have never written thinking that someone will translate. I have software to translate a booklet the proverbial sweat seven shirts.

Third, I recognize that there are gems in the translations where "linguistic inventions" have managed to overcome the most original in the effect intended by the author ("wolf howls, howls castle" for instance)

Nevertheless, allow me humbly to give a couple of suggestions, from poor user experts.

1 - Respect the author's desire.
If in the original film is called "La Science des Reves" and English "The science of dream," because in Italian is called "The Science of Sleep"? I agree that the dream is more an art than a science, but perhaps the author intended this "conflict" between science and dream in the title

2 - Respect the work
If the work in the original language has been given a title of "important" like The Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, do not demean a title from B movies like "If you leave me, you gate" .. as if his name is Shining "Terror in the hotel"

3 - Do not try to overcome the author
If the translation is impossible, not to upset trying to be "more good author." If the pun is untranslatable, a note and let's just ... otherwise the situation could get out of hand (there 'still some who would ask whether the high school English nickname of Benjamin would become such a "Minus Habens" and what would be the Gang of Brocchi title)

4 - If all else fails, A cartoon with Snoopy
surrender that "butt" the golf ball, and Woodstock that says "Play it Again, Sam" has 5% of the power of the word game "Play it again, Sam" can be translated as "Play" but also "play it" ... and then, you could put a asterischino, no?

5 - Watch what you translate
Ok .. I imagine that the budget for the translation of a cartoon on television is low .. but if you translate "Quick, let's go to the Garden of Reeds" and the following scene takes place in a waste storage (junk yard) a dubbietto could also come to me, no? :-)

But dreaming is an art or a science?

.. depends .. Italy in an art, a science in the rest of the world ...

Background: (the day before yesterday, in the office) "Give me the keys to the cabinet? Because tonight there's no 'training, I leave the bag with the stuff here on Friday"

Today (Friday'): stratospheric already late for training, I get up, put in place the computer, go to the closet and I DO NOT HAVE THE KEYS! I had to give up to training .. :-(

I find this important information to understand the feelings with which I dealt with Michael Gondry's latest film, "The Science of Sleep".

E 'romantic, visionary, pathetic, demented, schizophrenic, crazy, poetic, funny, brilliant, brilliant, surreal and original .. and all without trying to have a plot that would rule. But I'm not fair .. I love Gondry's videos and I think that this subject (always written by him) is primarily a "sorry" for having a set in which "fit" all his crazy ideas that lend themselves to being "burned" 5 minutes rather than over the shooting and "long pull" for a whole film.

But then in the end the big question is "But I like it?". I do not know ... perhaps not even gone to see it .. I just wanted to see .. maybe ...

How Many Hours Are On A Gas Boat Motor?

Still working on ads ...

Adapted from an article on Tgfin:

"The research is aimed at candidates of up to 30 years, with a degree in computer science and a strong predisposition for the use of operating systems."

Ah, well .. sure ... This is to prevent all computer operating systems that do not use and then do all operations, including copies of files in the machine language of the processor .. Each has its fixations

numbers Insac ...

.. one of my conjecture is Goldbach .

fascinates me because so seemingly simple a proposition resists all attempts to prove for 250 years.

Unfortunately I have a mathematical background sufficient to deal "directly" to this problem: I have dabbled in the past, however, with attempts "naïve" to come to some conclusion .. Today I found one of these "semi" and attach to this entry ... who knows someone who does not know it to good use (or more likely to report that is well known). Defining number of

Insac:

Insac (0) = 3
any number of Insac is equal to three times as many Insac minus 2 and 4. So

:
Insac (0)
Insac = 3 (1) = 3 * Insac (0) - 4 = 5
Insac (2) = 3 * Insac (0) - 2 = 7
Insac (3) = 3 * Insac (1) - 4 = 11
Insac (4) = 3 * Insac (1) - 2 = 13
Insac (5) = 3 * Insac (2) - 4 = 17
Insac (6) = 3 * Insac (2) - 2 = 19
. ..
Insac (9) = 3 * Insac (4) - 4 = 35
...

Insac 3,5,7,11,13,17,19,29,31,35,37,47,49,53,55,83,85,89,91,101,103 ,...} = {

The conjecture is that of Insac vvalga for all numbers Insac Goldbach's conjecture.

So what?

:-) Well, first the density Insac numbers is much smaller than that of prime numbers .. then another feature is that the numbers of Insac always go in pairs (primes often have this characteristic of "twin primes" but do not know if infinitely).

As I have generated?
I wanted to see if there were some boundary conditions under which the Goldbach conjecture was necessarily true for an infinite set of integers, for example, I know that in a number and its double there is always a prime number. This property would be enough? (No) And if I said just that in a number and there are at least triple its number 2 of that series?

Insac numbers come from this doubt. It is interesting
note that the number of differences between consecutive numbers Insac is very smooth and seems to have properties that appear to facilitate the proof of the conjecture of Insac for these numbers.

differences Insac = {2, 2, 4, 2,4,2, 10, 2,4,2,10,2,4,2, 28, 2,4,2,10,2,4,2, 28,2,4,2,10,2,4,2 ...}

The strange feature of the sequence of differences (in addition to the regular continuous repetition) is that each number x it is possible to find a subset of the direct predecessors has to sum the number of departure minus 2, and this seems a good starting point x an inductive proof.

Concluding remarks:
a - there 'no value in this conjecture, if not the hope that it will give some clue as to why the Goldbach conjecture is true on the first
b - and 'scientifically proven that each of us can generate an infinite number of Goldbach's conjecture similar to the one, then the value of these conjecture and 'zero :-)
c - I did a self test to verify the conjecture Insac and so far I have not found examples against
d - are (almost) managed to resist the temptation to make jokes like "I found a beautiful demonstration, but I can not keep her in this form .. " :-)
