Suppose we have to solve $d^2y/dx^2= f(y,x)$ where $f$ is Lipschitz and $y(0) =a, y(1) =b$, using finite difference method, i.e., by discretizing the problem into $y_{i+1} - 2y_i + y_{i-1} = h^2f(y_i,x_i)$, with equal spacing. How do we show it converges, i.e., $\lim_n \max_{i \le n} |y(x_i) - y_i| = 0$? You can assume there is a unique twice differentiable solution, but I would like to know what happens when the solution is not unique as well. This seems quite a bit harder than the initial value problem situation.
I understand this is probably a very basic question in numerical analysis, but I just couldn't find a good reference that covers this general case. There has been a paper on this subject, http://www.jstor.org/stable/2004339?seq=3, but I found their proof for the boundary value problem difficult to follow (note that the proof does not mention a or b at all).

Greenpeace has a problem with Apple Computer, and it is likely Steve Jobs is thinking the same thing about the environmental organization. In recent months, Greenpeace has attacked Apple's environmental record, protested the company at MacExpo in London, and has even created a mock website targeting the company as a chronic polluter. While Apple Computer has repeatedly refuted the claims of the organization—and likely had something to say about the group being kicked out of MacExpo—the company has largely attempted to ignore them. Well, it looks like Apple will get another chance to wish Greenpeace would just go away. The latest Green Guide to Electronics ranks Apple 14th out of 14 tech companies, with a 2.7 out of 10 rating and a few less than kind words.
For a company that claims to lead on product design, it is perhaps surprising to find Apple at the bottom of the scorecard - moving down from 10th place. While other laggards have moved upwards in the Guide, Apple has made no changes to its policies or practices since the launch of the guide in August 2006. The company scores badly on almost all criteria.
Apple scores "bad" or "partially bad" on a range of issues, from the phaseout of toxic substances—as defined by Greenpeace—to issues of responsibility—as defined by Greenpeace—which includes taking back old products, or e-waste, for recycling.
While one may or may not agree with the assessment of Apple Computer by Greenpeace, make no mistake about the use of wording like "laggards" and the timetable of this report. It's been three months and Greenpeace hasn't seen any action from Cupertino, which likely means Mac users can expect some "direct action" at Macworld Expo in San Francisco, a city with no shortage of those living on the political fringe. Steve Jobs might do well to cut a deal with these people and let some other company become the "Think Brown" poster-child, rather than risk a continued confrontation.
Some might call that extortion, but one could also call it a "Green Apple Tax."

Tensile Testing Composite Laminates in a Chamber with Hydraulic Grips
Getting accurate, repeatable, and maximized results for aerospace composites requires a precision load strain and repeatable test conditions. In order to minimize variability of results and to get the best possible numbers for these rigid coupons, it is necessary to use a machine that has accurate guidance and is as stiff as possible - in all directions, and powered grips that clamp the specimen the same way for each and every test. This is especially true when performing tests in accordance with NADCAP, Airbus, GE, or other alignment specifications. Current standards to which this could apply include ASTM D3039, D5083, D5766, EN 2561, EN 2597, prEN 6035, ISO 527-4. ISO 527-5, and AITM 1-0007.
It is also quite common to have to perform these tensile tests at high and low temperature, which calls for an environmental chamber. The combined requirements for stiffness, alignment, repeatability, and non-ambient testing typically leads to a system configuration as shown in the photo: a high capacity, floor-mounted load frame (100 kN or 250 kN capacity), with extended hydraulic grips. In this fashion, the hydraulic "powered" part of the grip remains outside the chamber, whereas the gripping part that holds the specimen is extended into the chamber. This technique ensures that the entire length of the specimen is at test temperature - thus minimizing thermal gradients along the gauge length.
Precise alignment of the grips is ensured by the use of an AlignPro alignment device - this device alows for precise adjustment of the angularity and concentricity of the grips under both no load and loaded conditions. The alignment is verified using a strain gauged alignment cell (various cells are available conforming to different standards e.g. NACAP AC7101 and AC7122/1).
This configuration allows testing to be performed at temperatures ranging from -70° C to +350° C (-94° F to +662° F).
Strain measurement can be done via clip-on extensometry (over applicable temperature ranges), bonded strain gauges (logging strain via the test machine strain channels), or video extensometry, through the optical grade window on the front of the chamber.

Hello Everyone! It's Crystal Hendrix from over at Hendrixville where I talk about my crazy life with kids with Autism and what I keep myself busy with!
I saw this line and was immediately so happy with how bright it was! I was inspired to create a simple quilt that would fit on my bed. We see so many quilts but how many can we use them on a daily basis? This one you can! It's a perfect quilt to try for beginners who might be a little afraid to approach a larger quilt!
3 Fat Quarter Bundles Pezzy Print by American Jane (I know it's a lot but we use almost every inch of it!)
1 Charm Pack Pezzy Print by American Jane (This is used for the back piecing)
6 1/4 yards 216051 23 (black fabric – backing)
We first want to take our fat quarter pieces and iron them out, so that there is no crease and then fold them lengthwise.
Trim it down to 21″.
Then cut the 21″ piece into two 10.5″ pieces.
Now we have 2 pieces (from each fat quarter) that are 10.5″ x 18″. Open them up and iron them if needed (by ironing them it guaranties a better cut – therefore making your sewing a lot easier later on.)
Now you trim the 2 pieces down to 15″. This will give you a total of 2 – 15″x10.5″. Now make sure that you save your 3″ strip. We will use this later for our binding.
When cutting out your fat quarters, I used all the pieces except for the black pieces. This gives you a total of 11 different colors. Eight of your colors you will need a total of 6 – 10.5″x15″ ( 3 fat quarter pieces) and three of your colors you will need a total of 5 – 10.5″x15″ ( 2 1/2 fat quarters).
Now we will assembling our quilt top (see how fast and easy this is?) You can create any random or nonrandom design that you desire. Our layout will be 9 x 7. First sew the rows together…
Then sew your 7 rows together…
For the middle section, you will need a total of 44 – colored 5″ squares (don't use the black charm pieces from the charm pack – use your leftover fat quarter pieces instead) and 22 – black 9.5″x5″ pieces.
Sew the two colored charm pieces together and press, and then sew it to the bottom black piece.
Sew 11 pieces together for one row, and then another 11 pieces together for the bottom row. When assembling them (see diagram above) you will want to sew together the 2 rows so that the black pieces are being sandwiched by the colored blocks.
Once you have finished your back piece, baste quilt and bind as desired. Use your leftover 3″x10.5″ as your binding pieces. You can either trim them down to 2.5″x10.5″ or keep them as they are. Sew together ALL of the 10.5″ pieces together for your binding.
An approximately 90.5″x102″ bright and colorful quilt perfect for Spring!

Good-By to the "Wobble-Stick" (Dec, 1938)
Good-By to the "Wobble-Stick"
By Julian Leggett
AMERICAN automobile manufacturers are agreed that the "wobble-stick" must go. As a result, the 1939 models are equipped with, or offer at small extra cost, handy little gear shifters located on the steering post to replace the long lever that stuck out of the floor in the driving compartment. Few times in automotive history-have the makers been in such accord. Perhaps other manufacturers took a tip from the favorable response which greeted the steering-post shifter introduced in 1938 by LaSalle, Cadillac and Pontiac, but more probably, they recognized it as the answer to two problems: first, how to clear the front compartment without using an expensive automatic transmission, and, second, how to eliminate noise conducted into the car by the old type lever, or wobble-stick.
This substitute for the gear lever has none of the complicated mechanisms of automatic transmission or clutch. That makes it easy for the owner, because he doesn't have to learn how to drive all over again. It does the same job of changing gears and it does it in the same way, in conjunction with the clutch, as did the wobble-stick. From the maker's standpoint, it is so inexpensive that in most cases it can be included without increasing the price of the automobile. However, on some cars, particularly those in the lowest price field, it can be offered only as optional equipment. Chevrolet presents the shift, with a vacuum booster that takes eighty per cent of the work out of gear changing, for ten dollars extra. Deluxe models of Plymouth, and all models of DeSoto, Dodge and Chrysler have the feature as standard equipment.
Pontiac found the shifter popular as an extra-cost item last year, so all new models have it, plus a booster spring that does half the work, as standard equipment. Packard joins the parade by introducing the Handi-shift. Buick turns from the optional automatic transmission of 1938 to the steering-post shift, standard on all models in 1939.
Use of the remote-control shift permits manufacturers to redesign the transmission, making it shorter without altering gear face widths or torque transmitting capacity. Of importance to the driver is the fact that some types of the shift may be adjusted to suit the reach of the individual.
The overdrive, which permits reduction in engine speed without losing car speed, seems to be gaining ground, although it continues as an optional feature in most cases. Packard introduces the Econo-drive, which automatically disengages at speeds under thirty miles per hour.
Chrysler and De Soto introduce a new transmission with the overdrive as optional equipment on all models except the Custom Imperial Chrysler, on which it is standard. The overdrive cuts in between twenty-three and twenty-eight miles per hour. A solenoid device, actuated by press-arm type Knee-Action embodied in a suspension system in which front and rear are scientifically balanced. There are double-acting end-to-end discharge hydraulic shock absorbers front and rear and a new ride stabilizer which prevents undue rolling and swaying on curves. Rear springs are thinner, with tapered ends, and their geometry is changed to give a smoother, softer ride.
In the LaSalle and Cadillac "61," the engineers have created a new geometry in rear-spring suspension. A principal change comes in a re-location of the ends of the leaf springs, now mounted higher and inside the frame. The fundamental accomplishment is a control of axle weight that prevents periodic axle "hopping," so annoying to passengers and driver. Through the use of rubber bushings at all points, the suspension requires no lubrication.
Packard, too, takes a step in the direction of rear-end suspension by presenting a fifth shock-absorber system, to stop crosswise shocks. The rear springs have rubber and special alloy inserts between the leaves to achieve easy, controlled spring resilience.
Among the engineering achievements for 1939 is Pontiac's new ride system, in which Duflex rear springs give one passenger as easy a ride as six passengers and also reduce bouncing and pitching when the car is traveling over bumps. To the conventional leaf spring, and directly below it, has been added a second but shorter auxiliary or helper spring. For light loads the car rides almost entirely on the main or upper unit which affords comfortable motion. As the passenger load increases, this upper spring comes progressively more and more into contact with the helper spring, thus building up maximum resistance to deflection. Front and rear springs have nearly the same oscillation rate, which means that pitching and kick are reduced.
Of considerable importance to the driver is the general movement to increase his range of vision. In cars with Fisher bodies, higher windowpanes and windshields, narrower body pillars and smaller corner radii add twenty-seven per cent to the glass, or visibility, area. For example, the Buick has twenty-six per cent more glass area in the 1939 windshield than in that of last year. This trend marks the manufacturers' effort to eliminate "blind spots" which have figured in many accidents. Frequently an automobile coming from one side or the other is momentarily obscured from the driver's vision by a pillar on his own car. Chrysler and other makers offer similar wide-vision windshields.
New beauty has been built into the 1939 automobiles, but the makers have conend lines are characterized by a sweeping curve. The trunk has entirely disappeared from all Chryslers, in favor of a concealed luggage compartment, another trend in the industry. Studebaker and Nash offer new ideas of design, both with considerable appeal to the eye. The Graham retains its "Spirit of Motion" lines of 1938, giving the appearance of traveling at high speed even while it is motionless. Packard clings to its traditional styling.
Chrysler introduces a new safety speedometer, the indicator of which is illuminated when instrument lights are on. From a standstill to thirty miles per hour, the legal speed in most city driving, the light shows green. From thirty to fifty, it is amber and at fifty, it changes to a brilliant red. Thus the driver is constantly reminded of the speed at which he is traveling, and warned when he approaches a dangerous pace.
Constant-speed electric windshield wipers are another Chrysler feature. Entirely independent of engine action, the wipers are thus free of the vagaries of the vacuum type.
First to offer a direction signal as standard equipment is Buick. This device enables the driver to indicate to motorists in the rear that he is about to turn. The indicator lamp, located in the center of the luggage compartment door, is clearly visible from the rear at all angles. When the driver wishes to indicate a turn, he flips a switch mounted on the steering-post shift lever, without removing his hand from the wheel. This illuminates a modified arrow in the left or right end of the indicator lamp, depending upon the direction in which he expects to go. The lamp is the flashing type. Very close to the switch and visible through a small lens in the shift lever is a small green pilot light which flashes in unison with the flashing signal, when the switch is on.
Another feature is an inside lock which prevents sneak thieves from forcing open the front ventilator windows.
New efforts to make the interior of the automobile more comfortable are evident. Studebaker introduces a ventilating filtering and heating system. Positioned beneath the front floor pan, the unit draws outside air from above the running board at the left. This air is filtered, passed through the core of an efficient heater, and discharged beneath the front seat where suitable apertures distribute it between front and rear compartments to provide equal comfort to all occupants. In warm weather the hot-water supply can be shut off and the unit used to draw in fresh, cool, filtered air. Windows may be kept tightly closed, important during rain or dust storms.
Nash offers the "Weather Eye"—a device which automatically brings living-room comfort to automobile interiors during the cold months of the year. Brought in through the cowl ventilator, fresh, outside air enters the winter conditioning unit under its own pressure. Moisture is removed by "rain shedders" and the air is carried through the filter where it is cleaned of dust and soot, past the motor-driven fan, which can be used to maintain circulation when the car is moving slowly or standing still, through the heating element and into the car. A thermostat dial enables the driver to "tune in" the car comfort level desired, from "cold" through "medium" to "hot" or at intermediate points. Once the dial is set, the weather eye automatically keeps the car at this level.
A "sunshine" top, the roof panel of which slides back to provide vision upward and to let in the sun's rays, is an optional feature on certain models of Buick, LaSalle and Cadillac. The sliding roof, operated from the inside, is drip and rainproof.
Hupp enters the market with two Junior models, fitted with bodies quite similar to those on the discontinued Cord.
With the Mercury "8," Ford enters the medium-price field. The Mercury will have hydraulic brakes, an engine with more power than the Ford and other improvements. Use of hydraulic brakes on the Mercury is indicative of Ford's swing away from the mechanical brake.

Production shifts scheduling needs to be as responsive and as well managed as any well-oiled machine. It provides the staff levels needed to meet targets and errors only dent production levels. If production is overstaffed then labor costs are wasted, whereas understaffing can leave a business unable to operate properly and hit its expected production levels. Work stations need to be partnered with staff who have the necessary skills. Also to be scheduled are time off requests and specific shift demands from workers, as well as any union or FLSA restrictions.
As competition increases, the technology needed for production only improves and enhances. Shift scheduling software is part of this advancement, those left behind with ancient methods like spreadsheets and mediocre planners will only see their competitors race ahead with more efficient work practices.
Thankfully for production management, there are free options which give them the chance to decide which of the many shift management programs suits you. Free staff scheduling software options are varied, possibly restricting the employee count or running adverts. The best employee scheduling software packages can often give you the chance to try before you buy. This is a terrific opportunity, it lets you see which works for your staff roster's fixed and rotating schedules.
Production Shift Scheduling Software
Here is a list of five shift scheduling software applications with a brief description of each:
- Schedule any number of staff (full-time, part-time, and volunteer), positions, shifts, patrols, and locations
- Ensure adequate shift coverage and efficient personnel utilization while taking into consideration all time-off constraints, specific labor and overtime rules, employee skills and preferences
- Spend less time on developing work schedules and on day-to-day changes
- Instantly see shift coverage, hours scheduled, overtime, vacations, and time off
- Reduce labor costs; avoid overtime and over/under staffing
- Print, export, and e-mail work schedules to employees
- Keep work schedules, labor costs, and employee data in one place for complete reporting and analysis
The Snap Schedule Premium Edition gives you enterprise-class employee scheduling power and innovative workforce management features, including web and mobile access. Employees can remotely access their schedules, request time off, bid on open shifts, punch in and out, update their availability to work, and view the employee directory via a web browser or a native iPhone/iPad/WindowsStore app.
- Windows/Windows 8
- Decrease overtime with visibility to previous shifts worked and seniority information at the point of decision
- Web-based accessibility for you and your staff so everyone has the latest information at their fingertips
- In-depth reporting so you can justify decisions, track time off, review overtime choices and more
- Reduce payroll errors by adjusting worked hours on the schedule and sending electronic data directly to any payroll system for processing
- Optimize time off and fairness via calendar visibility to all requested, approved and taken time off
- Reduce grievances and the time it takes to defend decisions with full visibility to staff requests, manager decisions, hours worked, schedule changes and more
- Increase staff productivity and satisfaction with the use of collaborative scheduling (Open Shift Management) where your staff interact with the schedule
- Web-based
Schedules are cross-referenced with vacation, sick, compensation and other time-off. You are alerted when they conflict. Time Tracker notifies you when specific reminders regarding an employee are due. It can alert you when an employee's certification is about to expire, or that they are to attend a seminar or anything else that you choose. Time Tracker will monitor your employees scheduled times and warn you about errors such as double bookings or overtime situations. You can also track an employee's refusals to work.

Notes: Not all are downloadable desktop programs for Windows/Mac OS and some may be browser-based applications that require high-speed Internet access. Be sure to read all systems and licensing agreements from the developer's website to make sure you meet all requirements. At the time of publication, a free basic service (lite or cripple version) or a free trial version of all of these software packages is available from their manufacturer's website. To take full advantage of a package's features you may need to upgrade to a paid version of the software.
What Can Production Scheduling Software Do for You?
Production scheduling software takes the hard work out of staffing, scheduling, and publishing work schedules, freeing you up to do more important things.
- Spend less time creating and publishing work schedules. Production scheduling software makes scheduling employees, editing information, analyzing data, and distributing employee work schedules easy and simple. Assign shop floors, equipment, tasks, work stations, breaks, and duties within each shift.
- Quickly fill a shift or find a substitute based on many criteria including job position, skills, availability, labor cost, work hour limits, and seniority.
- Prevent and alerts you to availability conflicts, duplicate shift assignments, overlapped shift assignments, and conflicts with scheduled time off.
- Know instantly where officers are assigned. No need to flip through pages of paper to see absentee, on-call, training, or overtime situations.
- Reduce the time to track and assign employee training, vacation and time off requests. Production scheduling software keeps you up to date on who will not be coming in to work and why. Its comprehensive reports provide details on planned vacation, training, and time off hours for any time period you select.
- Reduce labor costs and avoid unnecessary overtime. Production scheduling software lets you accurately track absences and forecast staffing needs to minimize over-staffing, which in turn reduces payroll costs. It automatically sums up employees' work hours and costs; calculates overtime, on-call, time off, and incentive pays; and provides detailed cost reports so you know instantly if you are on budget.
- Keep scheduling and employee information in one place for easy access. Insert ID photos as well as employee contact information, authorized work stations, skills, available work hours for part-time and volunteers, and work hour constraints into employee records.
- Monitor attendance, work hours, and labor costs. Advanced employee scheduling software with time clock features lets you see exactly who clocked in and how your scheduled hours compare to the hours your employees are actually working.

One of the biggest criticism of the EOS M5 was that the Screen flipped down, so that if you used a tripod or selfie stick you could not flip the screen down.
So here is a work around for that problem and it only cost $19.95
Step 1: You need to get the Desmond L Plate. You need the one with the 3 slots in the bottom. The mounting screw needs to be moved to the back rug.
IMG_4549.jpg by tesarver, on Flickr
IMG_4550.jpg by tesarver, on Flickr
Step 2: Mount the plate to the camera so that the L of the mount is on the opposite side of the grip.

Lucha Libre Yunomi with Diamond Fringe

Lucha Libre Yunomi with Diamond Fringe
Hello. I am a ceramic yunomi!
I am approximately 3.25" x 3.25" across and 3.5" height.
I am made from a white Cone 6, mid range porcelain body on the wheel and then decorated and glazed with an inlaid stain technique affectionately called mishima. I am then decorated with glazed and re-fired up to four times. Often times I am completed with china paint, decals and tarted up with hand applied gold/platinum luster. While I am pretty durable, the bling on me is best preserved by hand washing the ol' fashioned way. Also, it is best to avoid microwaving me.

i got this amazing betsey johnson dress at beacon's closet (the girl there said that someone who used to work for betsey comes in all the time to donate clothes, so they often have a good stock). it fits like a glove and reminds me of a cross between a ballerina dress and a costume from deadwood.
it's really short though! i know i have some tall girls following me who know the pains of a perfect dress that shows just a little too much leg. and normally, in my book, there's really no such thing as too much leg, but i'm in danger of flashing my butt in this thing if the wind picks up even a little!
of course, i got it anyway. guess i'll just wear it with tights ;)

Your Beliefs Are Malleable.../
"I'm an insulin-dependent diabetic. Twice a day I take synthetically manufactured insulin that still contains some animal products — and I have no qualms about it… I'm not going to take the chance of killing myself by not taking insulin. I don't see myself as a hypocrite. I need my life to fight for the rights of animals." --PETA Senior Vice President MaryBeth Sweetland on her use of insulin, which was tested on animals.
Many years ago, while teaching my first college level course in Human Sexuality, I was having a bit of difficulty dealing with two students who seemed to always be at each other's throats. Each time a controversial topic (e.g., abortion, homosexuality, pornography) was covered, their open disagreements seemed to escalate into full blown arguments. After a few weeks of this I'd had enough, and I executed a plan designed to teach them (and the rest of the class) to expand their horizons and to find common ground. I asked all of the students to write a short paragraph expressing their positions on a list of ten sex-related topics, and to turn it in after they had signed it. They were then instructed to write a research paper in which they attempted to support the opposite of their own opinion on one of the topics in the list. This is an old trick, and I expected a bit of resistance and protest, but I had faith that most would follow through and learn from the experience.
A strange thing happened after the papers were submitted, however. Inexplicably, a few of the students thanked me for the assignment, and said that they had changed their minds about the topic they chose for their papers. I asked if they had learned something new about the topic, or whether they had been "on the fence" in the first place. Many said that they really hadn't learned much and that they already knew their opponents' positions, but they just felt differently after writing the paper. Although this reaction was shown by a relatively small percentage of students, and there are many possible explanations for their reports of attitude, I couldn't help wondering if I might have inadvertently "brainwashed" my students! A better explanation, however, can be found in the literature on cognitive dissonance.
Coined in the late 1950s by psychologist Leon Festinger in his very popular book, When Prophecy Fails, cognitive dissonance refers to the psychologically uncomfortable state of holding two conflicting cognitions (thoughts, opinions, beliefs, memories, etc.). Dispelling many of the myths about so-called brainwashing (which assumes that others can directly change our cognitions), Festinger found that people engage in cognitive shifts designed to reduce the unpleasantness they experience when their cognitions contradict each other. These reactions can range from mild annoyance to mental torment, and Festinger suggested three possible routes to reduction of the dissonance that creates them: 1) change the behavior that creates the dissonance; 2) add new cognitions to reduce the dissonance; or 3) change the social environment that reinforces the dissonance. Although I could never be certain, I suspected that #2 may have occurred in my students who'd inexplicably changed their minds after turning in their papers. After all, they could not go back in time and alter the fact that they had written the paper and expressed certain things as true; what they could change, however, were their beliefs. Once those two elements were consonant, their cognitive dissonance had been eliminated and they felt better.
The history of Cognitive Dissonance Theory is as interesting as the theory itself. The tale begins in the late 1950s, when Festinger and his colleagues infiltrated a UFO cult led by Dorothy Martin, a Chicago housewife and former devotee of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Based upon messages she claimed to receive through spirit writing, Martin and her followers believed that the world was about to end, and that the group's adherents would be the only survivors. As Festinger predicted, although the end-of-world prophecy failed, the most faithful among them became even more committed to their leader and her teachings because accepting the truth (that they had been wrong to give up their lives to follow her in the first place) was simply too psychologically distressing.
Although most of your students will, thankfully, never join a cult, they can all relate to holding some belief as a sacred cow about which they fail to think critically. Some might justify their cigarette smoking by stating that it prevents them from gaining an unhealthy amount of weight. Others may refuse to recycle, claiming that corporations and large factories pollute far more than they ever could as individuals. Still others might justify their religious beliefs in the face of evidence that their religious texts show no sign of divine inspiration, arguing that the books were written by fallible men who could have inserted their own ideas, and/or mistranslated certain sections. Everyday examples such as these help me begin a discussion with my students that assists them in directly relating to others they might perceive as gullible or foolish.
After encouraging them to relate personally to the topic, I then ask my students to consider how cognitive dissonance might help explain why our offers to educate or to demonstrate errors in others' reasoning are sometimes ineffective. I try to guide them toward seeing how petty and insignificant factual information might seem to "believers" when compared to:
the chance that they might lose important connections to friends, family, and worldview (religion),
the idea that they must accept the death of a loved one, or of the idea that the future can be foreseen (psychics),
or even to the relatively mild notion that they have wasted money or time on a useless product (Powerbalance Bracelets).
At this point, with a coherent framework established, students are usually prepared to approach the published literature on cognitive dissonance. Luckily, a wealth of studies and books is now available for them. As my colleague Carol Tavris and her co-author Elliot Aronson point out in their wonderful book Mistakes Were Made (But Not By Me), Festinger's theory has been incredibly fruitful, inspiring over 3,000 published experiments and revolutionizing our understanding of human psychology. Tavris and Aronson have followed in Festinger's footsteps, pointing out how cognitive dissonance affects many facets of our daily lives, influencing politics, war, marriage, prejudice, science, and countless other areas. In addition to Tavris and Aronson's book, some of the published scientific literature can serve as good starting points for discussions with students about the power of cognitive dissonance. Among these are:
Research on the role cognitive dissonance plays in criminal investigations, and how law enforcement and prosecutors can be biased in favor of evidence that confirms their beliefs, rather than that which is true.(e.g.: Ask, K., Reinhard, M., Marksteiner, T., & Granhag, P. A. (2011). Elasticity in evaluations of criminal evidence: Exploring the role of cognitive dissonance. Legal and Criminological Psychology, 16, 289-306.
Brain scan (fMRI) studies suggesting that decision-related attitude change are associated with increased activity in specific parts of the brain, and occur rapidly, before someone has an opportunity to deliberate between options. (e.g., Jarcho, J. M., Berkman, E. T., & Liebman, M. D. (2011). The neural basis of rationalization: Cognitive dissonance reduction during decision-making. Social Cognitive & Affective Neuroscience, 6(4), 460-467.)
Explaining what differentiates those who join terrorist organizations from others who may hold similar social and political views, but never turn to acts of violence. (e.g., Kohn Maikovich, A. (2005). A new understanding of terrorism using cognitive dissonance principles. Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour,35(4), 373–397.)
Investigation of the effects of dissonance reported by lesbians who identify as Christians, and the strategies they employ to deal with those feelings of dissonance. (e.g., Mahaffy, K. A. (1996). Cognitive dissonance and its resolution: A study of lesbian Christians. Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, 35(4), 392-402.)

Because of British colonialism in India, India's culture continues to be considerably impacted by free airline. With globalization, Indian fashion today does reflect the Western influence. Halter tops, handkerchief-cut kurtas etc are typical today and also have be a part of a person's wardrobe. With 28 states, 7 union territories and multiple 'languages', India is really a land of effective diversity and every condition features its own unique fashion.
Conventional sarees, blouses, salwar kameezes and necklines have gone through great changes. The most recent Indian fashion trend has a little free airline. Indian designers will work day in and day trip to satisfy the brand new demands from the market. Let's see a few of the Western influences on Indian dresses.
Short- Style Kurtis
A couple of years back, traditional kurtis with bold prints were well-liked by everyone. Though they still continue being sought after, yet short-style kurtis with halter necklines are giving their traditional counterpart a difficult competition. Earlier, kurtis were worn together with chudidars, however nowadays putting on on them jeans may be the latest Indian fashion. From a high profile, towards the girl nearby, short-style kurtis really are a rage. Floor length anarkalis will also be very popular nowadays.
Casual Crinkled Crepes & A-Lined Skirts
Lehengas will always be preferred among ladies of all age ranges. The standard embroidered lehenga is among the best Indian bridal wears. However, lehengas have become an informal crinkled crepes along with a-lined skirts that are considered well suited for a celebration, supper party or perhaps an informal meeting.
Half-Lehenga Style Saree
Saree is easily the most traditional Indian put on. Sarees would be the perfect put on during weddings, religious functions and parties. However, the most recent Indian fashion has witnessed the evolution of the new style saree which mixes both saree and lehenga right into a single put on. This really is recording everyone's attention. This kind of saree is called half-lehenga style saree. This really is pretty comfortable for individuals who aren't well-knowledgeable about the standard hanging saree.
Strap & Halter Neck Blouses
Earlier as well as now, short-sleeved or lengthy-sleeved blouses are extremely much well-liked by ladies. However, today blouses with straps and halter neck styles also have began making inroads. These kinds of blouses have grown to be common and therefore are in great demand.
Denims are very popular among women and men in India. Earlier in parties, formal put on would be a common sight. Though situation, yet today in lots of parties as well as offices, there's no dearth of individuals putting on denims. There are many worldwide brands of denims obtainable in India as well as every day the marketplace is witnessing arrival of recent designs.
There will always be new styles that are developing every so often. The western affect on Indian clothes are which makes them trendy and stylish. A brand new design can evolve anywhere. It can be us to adjust to the alterations based on our very own style, convenience, preference and selection.

News And Notes From Week 15 In The NFL ...
• Among all the crazy statistics and factoids — we hate the fact that "factoid" has evolved to the point that we accept it as a reasonable descriptive word — we came across this morning, here's our favorite one: If the Eagles win their last two games, they win the NFC East. How did that happen? We have also been joking the last couple of weeks about our Buzzsaw's "hopes" of sneaking back in the playoff chase, and even they we were joking (really), we're not that far off. The freaking Packers are one game out of the wild-card right now. (Lord, we hadn't prepared ourselves for the possibility of Brett Favre in the playoffs. We're absolutely not ready.) Honestly, if the Titans were in the NFC, we think they'd be our Super Bowl favorites right now.
• We don't know a lot of Saints fans, so we ask in all seriousness: How do you feel this morning? You have to be happy, right? We ask because we honestly don't know.
• Of all the potential postseason storylines, we're not sure we can imagine a more fundamentaly amusing one than Kyle Boller, of all people, leading his team to the Super Bowl. The guy absolutely cannot be killed. The Ravens should have found another backup in the offseason just so they wouldn't tempt themselves, for crying out loud.
• How awesome is it that Philadelphia, led by Jeff Garcia, of all people, is playing Dallas for, essentially, the NFC East title on Christmas Day? We absolutely cannot wait. If only it were in Philly.
• From The Mighty MJD's Smorgasbord: "A commercial comes on for We Are Marshall and Dirty brings up the very awesome possibility of a scene where some West Virginia fans show up at one of the funerals and start heckling. If any of you see that movie, and that really happens, can you let me know? Because that's the kind of thing I'd pay $8 to see."

The U.S. women's soccer team's two-year unbeaten streak ended at 43 games Friday with a 1-0 loss to Sweden and former coach Pia Sundhage at the Algarve Cup in Albufeira, Portugal.
Lotta Schelin beat goalkeeper Hope Solo with a header in the 24th minute. The U.S. had been 36-0-7 since a 1-0 loss to Japan at the Algarve Cup on March 5, 2012, and 16-0-4 under Tom Sermanni, who took over as coach after Sundhage left in 2012 to lead her native Sweden.
The U.S., which was eliminated, had a chance to take the lead in the 15th minute, but Abby Wambach's penalty kick was pushed past a post by goalkeeper Hedvig Lindahl after U.S. midfielder Amy Rodriguez was fouled.
"You're always going to lose games in football. That's how it works," Sermanni said. "Sometimes you win games that perhaps you should have lost. Sometimes you lose games that perhaps you should have won. But as I said, today we missed a penalty at nil-nil, and in the last 15 minutes we had four very good goal-scoring opportunities. And if you don't take those, that makes a difference."
Sweden (2-0) leads Group B with six points, two ahead of Japan, which defeated Denmark 1-0. The U.S. (0-1-1), which had won the tournament nine times in 18 previous trips, has one point heading into its Group B finale against Denmark (0-2) on Monday.
Sisters Samantha and Kristie Mewis entered in the 68th minute, with Samantha making her national team debut. Sarah Hagen made her first international appearance in the 81st minute.
Kristie Mewis forced Lindahl into a leg save on a break in the 83rd minute, and five minutes later the goalkeeper came off her line to make a chest save on Hagen.
"It felt great to get in," said Hagen, a 24-year-old forward with Bayern Munich. "I had a few opportunities that I wish I would have been able to finish."
The Americans, who opened with a 1-1 tie against Japan, were without forward Alex Morgan, who is sidelined because of an ankle injury.
Wambach was active at the start, but the early opportunities were lost. Then Sofia Jakobsson blocked Ali Krieger's clearance attempt and sent in a cross that Schelin headed past Solo.
"This was a tough one," U.S. defender Christie Rampone said. "We definitely had more of the ball, not necessarily the best possession we could have played with, but we definitely made Sweden defend a lot. And credit to them, they kept fighting and battling and cutting off the passing channels and blocking shots."

- well done!
the clues in my guessing game were:
- pick n roll
- 2 times to the nba final
- third option after malone & stockton
- high % 3 point and FT shooting
- hair cut
- wiping his face at the FT line.
and after that I thought maybe there is another one on another team who might fit these hints, so I added the 'sending out a curse' phrase. It's probably a german/english translation thing that I mixed up, but the Jazz cursed us with layden and his actions as a GM.

Seven-Layer Chicken Taco Salad
6 servings
- 1lb skinless boneless chicken breasts
- 2 cups fat free reduced sodium chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons chopped parsley
- (I added 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, divided)
- salt and pepper
- 3 cups (I'd use more) shredded lettuce
- 1 lb tomatoes, diced
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 large avocado, diced
- 1 cup finely diced onion (preferably red onion)
- 1 cup shredded reduced fat Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- (I added some lime juice)
- Trim visible fat from the chicken, place in medium sauce pan, add chicken broth and enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to simmer over medium high heat, reduce heat to medium low and cook until chicken is cooked/white throughout, about 15 minutes. Let chicken remain in the liquid until it is cool enough to handle, about 20 minutes.
- Remove the chicken and shred it (I cubed some because it was easier). Reserve 1/3 cup of the broth. In small bowl, combine shredded chicken with parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1 tablespoon cilantro.
- In a wide (preferably clear) bowl, layer lettuce, tomatoes, black beans, chicken, avocado, onion, and cheese.
- In a small bowl, whisk together vingar, olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt,1/4 teaspoon pepper, reserved 1/3 cup chicken broth, remaining cilantro and a dash of lime juice. Drizzle dressing over salad and serve.

We have cleared all the normal content side from Imperator Mar'gok which we should have dead on 1/22, and all the bosses up to Ko'ragh on Heroic. We hope to have Heroic Imperator down before the new raid 2/3! Sadly Twins despawned before we could get a picture of the ugly SOB's but oh well. Props to everyone for the good work and props to Farling on the pro heroic strat that allowed us to one shot twins! ...

It's been a busy week here in Hossland. I really want to salute our raid team for the week thus far, as I feel that we have come a long way in a very short time since our first 25/normal raid in Siege of Ogrimmar just 3 weeks ago.
I set a small personal goal for our raid on Tuesday (which we met), by clearing through Iron Juggernaut on our first raid night (keeping in mind that we had yet to attempt Galakras in 25/normal), and that we met that goal with time to spare really started the week off right.
Enter tonight, and I set another hopeful goal of simply getting 1 more boss killed. After several close attempts (even had them to 12% on our first try), the Dark Shaman fell soon after. As we pressed on toward General Nazgrim, I felt the night would be a great success if we managed to get *close* to winning after a few tries before our raid time ended. As we fought Nazgrim and his forces, everything just seemed to fall into place, and down he goes on our first attempt.
So as we complete the first half of the instance, I would really like to congratulate everyone on stepping things up and helping bring Hoss back a bit closer to where I feel we should be in status. Yes, it's only normal difficulty and we have 6 more bosses to go - but I finally feel that our raid has gotten it's legs back and can finally begin to run again.
Here's some pics... hopefully more to follow tomorrow!

Since my last update, we've continued our progress through the Siege of Ogrimmar, and I am very happy to say that we have finally been able to get our 25-man raiding force together with some early success.
Our 25-man raid team has spent about 1.5 raid nights, and we have now downed the first 3 bosses. We are still actively recruiting for our 25-man raid, so please feel free to
submit an application
or contact one of our officers in game (Firanja, Tenelen, Valdis) - or ask a guild member in game if you don't see an officer online and they may be able to fine one of us on an alt.
So last night was our 2nd night back at 25-man raiding and we managed to get the Norushen encounter cleared.
We also currently collapse down and run 10-man later in the week to try and push further in general progress; this past week we killed both Galakras and Iron Juggernaut.
Congrats to everyone on a job well done! More to come... ...

|Tuesday, 12 March 2002
By 1962, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford each found it increasingly difficult to get decent roles; each of them went through three years of no work at all. They cordially (and later not so cordially) detested each other, but when Robert Aldrich asked them to costar in his wonderful "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane," they buried the hatchet long enough to make the film -- which turned out to be a big hit. Suddenly horror movies -- mostly thrillers, really -- with aging lady stars became all the rage; Tallulah Bankhead, Joan Fontaine, Geraldine Page, Ruth Gordon and others made their own thrillers, and Crawford and Davis continued doing them for several years. Some of their choices weren't very wise (Crawford: "Trog," Davis: "Burnt Offerings"), while others (Davis: "The Nanny") were reasonably good.
Crawford turned up rather unexpectedly in a William Castle film; the only gimmick was her presence, but it's one of his better movies anyway, with Crawford giving a performance of such strength and star power -- here's the working visual definition of "movie star" -- that the movie is a heck of a lot of fun to watch. The "surprise ending" is highly guessable, but the dialog is well above average for a Castle movie. The script was by Robert Bloch, something of a gimmick himself, as he had written the novel "Psycho" that Hitchcock turned into the biggest hit of its era. (For years, "Psycho" was the highest-grossing black-and-white film ever made.)
In the opening scene, 20 years before the rest of the movie, we meet Lucy Harbin (Crawford), dressed like a honkytonk floozy with gaudy earrings, a tight dress and a sassy smile. Crawford is clearly having a great time in these scenes, and we do, too -- even when she uses an axe to chop the heads off her husband (Lee Majors in a bit part) and his lover when she finds them in bed together. Unwisely, she forgot to close the door, so her young daughter sees the slaughter.
Lucy is put in a booby hatch for 20 years; when she gets out, older, grayer and anything but a floozy, she goes to California to stay with relatives, Bill (Leif Erickson) and Emily Cutler (Rochelle Hudson), who've raised Lucy's daughter Carol (Diane Baker). Soon weird and mysterious things begin to happen, often associated with axes, decapitation and murder. Has Lucy really picked up her scattered mental marbles?
There's not a great deal more to the plot than that; eerie things happen that scare Lucy, and there are more killings. She even dresses up like a floozy again -- same dress, same wig -- and flirts outrageously with Carol's boyfriend. Things get a lot worse before they get better.
The script and direction are both cheeky and amusing; we're not intended to take this really seriously, but it would have worked better as mystery/suspense had there been more suspects. It's odd that Robert Bloch would stumble in this manner, but it's probably what Castle wanted, as the same flaw exists in the Robb White-scripted "Homicidal." But it's meant for creepy fun, not even as serious as "Psycho" (though there are few if any overt jokes), and on that level, "Strait-Jacket" delivers the goods.
However, the reason to see it today is Joan Crawford. She's awesome, very easily dominating every scene she's in, even when she's the mousy, trembling Lucy who emerges from the asylum. Crawford had been a star since the late silent era, and she was a master of this sort of thing. She doesn't deliberately steal scenes, it's just that this kind of star turn was second nature; there's a very good reason she was a huge star, one of the biggest ever, for years -- and it's her go-for-broke personality. Stars like her, Bette Davis and others have no equals today; what they did for the most part wasn't quite acting -- though when she chose to be, Davis was brilliant, one of the finest actors of her time. Movie stars dominated by virtue of their personalities more than their acting skills; Clark Gable, for example, generally gave pretty much the same performance each time out (though like Davis he was sometimes excellent), because that's what the public wanted. And he was one of the biggest stars of his generation.
Columbia has released this and two other William Castle movies -- "Homicidal" and "Mr. Sardonicus" -- on well-produced if a little skimpy DVDs. The rather brief documentary accompanying "Strait Jacket" includes some comments by Diane Baker (who's aged very well) in addition to the horror film experts who appear on the other two discs. It also includes some makeup and costume tests with Crawford, but though it is referred to in the documentary, it unfortunately doesn't include the funny trailer that featured Crawford, Castle and Bloch -- there's just one brief shot from it.
Technically, the disc is up to today's standards for older films that haven't been "restored;" the soundtrack has been digitally mastered, but it's not outstanding now any more than it was when the film was originally released.
I hope that these films do very well (in their category), because Columbia, like Warners, has stubbornly sat on their older, non-hit movies. There are scads of these that would probably turn modest profits, and I for one long for the day when I can go to a DVD store and buy "Before I Hang," "Cry of the Werewolf" and "Creature with the Atom Brain"

Different Treatment For Tech Related Law-Breaking Depending On Whether Or Not You Have Power
from the funny-how-that-works deptRick Falkvinge is noticing one of the bigger hypocrisies when it comes to the law and technology: these days, we hear all the time about the strongest defenders of copyright law being caught infringing. And yet, they never seem to get in much, if any, trouble for it. In fact, they often seem to think that as long as they apologize or ignore the controversy they'll be fine -- and that's how it often works out. But, heaven forbid you're a single parent facing accusations of sharing two dozen songs! The copyright holders get to go after you for many millions.
To Falkvinge, this is reminiscent of the "high court" and "low court" concepts from the Middle Ages, in which the nobility had the high court: where breaking the law had limited consequences, and you could get away with paying a fine and issuing an apology. Then there was the low court, where everyone else was dealt with, and might receive punishments such as "branding, have their hands cut off, or sometimes just thrown in jail if it was a petty offense; like killing another commoner, which was a lesser offense than stealing from merchants." The two classes and the double standard on punishment reminded him of today's digital world:
In reality, the high courts and low courts have been reintroduced in silence. When Sony BMG broke into millions of computers worldwide in 2005, rootkitting them to disable their ability to run instructions that would violate Sony's own interpretation of its copyright monopoly, Sony was sentenced to send out marketing material for its own products and no individual executives were charged. When LulzSec members were arrested for breaking into systems in the singular, they get the low court treatment.What bugs me the most is that those who get away with doing these kinds of things never seem to realize how they're in a position of power and protected. They just brush off their own failure to abide by the law as if it's nothing -- and never realize what they're doing to the people they go after.
When a commoner is accused of violating the copyright monopoly, in some draconian countries like France, they can be sent into social exile without even getting a trial in the low court. In contrast, the noble Voddler (a video-on-demand service) violated the GPL egregiously by using free software to build its service — but without resharing the code, thus violating the copyright monopoly that GPL builds on, and for thoroughly commercial purposes. They were never prosecuted. In contrast, they are now speaking at hearings in parliaments on how successful they are.
