Published November 1, 2004.
We found that the key to a great blue cheese salad is having a free hand when introducing other flavors and textures; strong cheese really shines when tasted with sweet, tart, bitter, and crunchy ingredients. A good shot of vinegar gave necessary tartness to the dressing, and a spoonful of honey performed double duty, tempering the acidity of the vinegar and highlighting the saltiness of the cheese. As for the greens, tasters particularly liked bitter radicchio and peppery arugula mixed with milder lettuces. Sweetness and holiday crimson tones came from dried fruit (cherries), fresh fruit (apple), or beets.
We tried a half-dozen varieties of blue cheese and all were acceptable, but tasters favored rich, creamy Roquefort. If you prefer to use a very mild and mellow blue cheese, we recommend Danish blue; if you prefer a sharp and piquant one, try Stilton. Use paper towels to rub the skins from the cooked and cooled beets.

Our test cooks spend their days obsessively testing recipes until they offer consistently great results. As we like to say here, "We make the mistakes so you don't have to."
CooksIllustrated.com is the only place you can find not only 20 years' worth of our foolproof recipes, but also objective ratings of cookware, and blind taste tests for hundreds of everyday supermarket ingredients (hey, without the proper ingredients and equipment you can still run into problems — no matter how good the recipe).

Recently, Ashe County Humane Society was faced with a difficult decision over a six-month-old puppy taken into foster care.
The puppy needed costly surgery that the organization could not afford. At the time, two options were open to them: allow the dog to heal on its own, a slow process that would likely leave it crippled and arthritic for life, or request euthanasia, a merciful death that would save the dog from years of painful, limited mobility.
Fortunately, Ashe Humane volunteers weren't willing to settle for either option. They went into high gear and, with the assistance of the Greater Charlotte SPCA, found a solution that gave the puppy, now known as Chispa, a second chance for a full, active life.
Chispa's story began when a Laurel Springs couple found an emaciated, black lab mix entangled in the vines of a creek bed on their property. They quickly freed the dog and contacted Ashe Humane, who agreed to take her into foster care. Soon after, the foster parent took Chispa to the vet and learned that the pup had likely been hit by a car, and suffered a fractured pelvis and a crushed femoral bone. According to the vet, repair would require specialized surgery, at a cost of $3,000-$4,000!
Ashe Humane, a non-profit operating on a shoestring budget, didn't have the funds needed for such surgery but that did not deter its volunteers, who immediately began to look for a solution – contacting other animal lovers and researching veterinary schools and animal non-profits that might help. Eventually, through extensive networking, Ashe Humane enlisted the aid of the Greater Charlotte SPCA, who agreed to take Chispa into their care, work with their contacts to minimize her surgical costs, and handle her rehabilitation and fostering.
So Chispa was transported to the Greater Charlotte SPCA on June 12 and underwent surgery a few days later to repair her pelvic fractures and remove the head of the crushed femoral bone. A happier, and healthier, Chispa is now recovering in the care of her Charlotte SPCA foster, where she will remain until adopted into a permanent home by their organization.
I'm told that the word "Chispa" means "spark" in Spanish, which seems rather fitting. It was a spark of determination that propelled Ashe Humane volunteers into action and a spark of love that pulled the Greater Charlotte SPCA into the picture. And thanks to the persistence of both organizations, Chispa has been given a spark of hope for a new lease on life.
Chispa's story illustrates what great things happened when people networked for a common cause and came together to help one little dog. However, there is still the need for the Greater Charlotte SPCA to raise $1,000 for Chispa's remaining medical costs. Won't you help them help our Ashe County pup?
You can make a donation directly by mailing your contribution to the Greater Charlotte SPCA at PO Box 77491, Charlotte, NC 28271. Be sure to indicate on your check that the donation is for Chispa.

Proxy Servers Offer Many Advantages
I can't even remember how many times I've been asked by both friends and strangers if it's a good idea to use a proxy server. The answer I always give is "Yes!!!"
Whenever I travel, I usually drive, so that means when I'm on the road, I'm usually working. If I stop at Panera for a quick snack or if I'm staying in a motel over-night, I bring my laptop in so I can get things done. Because of this, I'm relying on public Wi-Fi during my trips. With all the talk of identity theft and hackers, I always wondered if someone sitting at the next table or staying in the next room was a hacker. I tried to be cautious, but the worry was still there until I discovered Private Proxy. Now, I can go anywhere and work on the Internet without worrying about my privacy. Yes, there are free proxies available, but I was always told that you get what you pay for and some of those free proxies aren't run by very scrupulous people. These people can, and sometimes do, monitor the information being sent out and will use it against you. Another thing to consider is that since the proxies are free, they are public and anyone can use them (just like public Wi-Fi). No information you send out is encrypted. With Private Proxy, I'm assured of an unmonitored, encrypted connection at all times. This way, I feel much safer knowing that no one can read my personal information.
I also like that no one can figure out if I'm home or on the road. Since Private Proxy gives me a choice of many rotating and static connections in the US, Canada and the Netherlands, I can be "seen" as being in the States even when I'm over-seas. It also works to my advantage in the opposite way. If a friend invites me to her child's birthday party and I have had enough of ball pits and clowns for the year, I can choose one of the proxy servers on the other side of the country so it looks like I'm traveling. Not that I don't like my friends, their kids or their parties, but there is only so much of the bad magic tricks and silly string one person can handle!

Reporting our regulatory work
We report the outcome of formal inquiries into charities to inform you about our role as regulator, about the inquiry process and about the action that we have taken in a particular inquiry. They also raise awareness about particular issues and we hope they widen the impact of our involvement in individual cases.
About inquiry reports
The Charity Commission's policy is to report the outcome of formal inquiries by publishing a statement of results on this section of the website. Charity law allows us to do this. We give trustees and others affected by the publication of the inquiry report the opportunity to comment on the factual accuracy of the report before publishing it here.
Others affected by the publication of an inquiry report are usually only those individuals named in the report. Where another regulator has been, or is involved, they are also given the opportunity to comment. The initial complainant, or member of the public, would not be entitled to comment on the report.
Our reports inform you about our role as regulator, about the inquiry process and about the action that we have taken in a particular inquiry. They also raise awareness about particular issues and we hope they widen the impact of our involvement in individual cases.
The reports we publish are statements of the results of an inquiry under section 50 of the Charities Act 2011. The Commission also has the discretion to publish more detailed reports in exceptional circumstances due to the complexity of the issues under investigation or where the report may be used in legal proceedings.
How to get copies of inquiry reports
Inquiry reports published in the last six months can be seen below. After six months, reports are transferred into our archive.
Archive of inquiry reports Statements of the results of inquiries into charities opened under section 50 of the Charities Act 2011.
We can send you a copy of any archived report - please contact us.
We believe that it is proportionate not to hold reports of investigations on the website indefinitely when charities have addressed the issues raised, or where personnel concerned or other circumstances have changed.
Members of the public can still access previous reports, but reports are not held on the website indefinitely where it may damage a charity's reputation for years to come.
Inquiries we do not report
Our intention is to report the outcome of every formal inquiry. However, there will be a small number of exceptions where this is not appropriate. We will not publish an inquiry report where in the Commission's judgement it would have a detrimental impact on the effective regulation of the sector and public trust and confidence in charities.
For example, we may not publish a report where doing so could:
- have an acute detrimental impact on a particular individual or group of individuals, for example risk to personal safety
- contravene or prejudice requirements for confidentiality or where there is commercial sensitivity or a risk to National Security
- cause severe prejudice to the charity and/or its beneficiaries and is not in the best interests of the charity
- contravene the Commission's duty to use its resources in the most efficient, effective and economic way
- it is not in the public interest to warrant publication
There may also be occasions where the Commission delays the publication of a report or publishes an interim report until a final report can be published. The circumstances in which the Commission delays the publication of a report, or produces an interim report, are as follows:
- publication is likely to prejudice the operations/investigation of a law enforcement agency or other regulator
- the Commission requires the trustees to complete certain actions within a specified timeframe
- publication is likely to prejudice ongoing or pending legal proceedings
Any decision we make based on the criteria above will be balanced against the public interest in publishing the results of an inquiry.
The Commission may, where it considers it appropriate to do so, publish a follow-up report setting out actions taken either by the Commission or the trustees after the inquiry concluded.
How we announce the opening of inquiries
We do not routinely announce the opening of formal inquiries. However, in any case in which there is a particularly high level of public interest, or if the Commission wishes to appeal to the general public for information, we will issue a press release.

Beefing Up Security For Holiday Shopping Season
By: Josh Berry
Updated: November 24, 2012
The Little Rock Police Department says an increased merchandise flow in and out of stores during the holiday season usually results in an increase amount of thefts.
Local shops are fully aware and prepared.
Ellen Golden has packed her Little Rock shop full of antiques.
"I don't know how we ended up with so much stuff," she laughed.
Her store in the Heights is just one link of her retail chain.
She has a grocery store, a restaurant, a liquor store and a bank. With so much it's hard for Golden to keep an eye on everything.
Someone smashed the window of her liquor store and robbed them a couple weeks ago. So she's gotten back-up. If she doesn't see it her security cameras will.
"We'll have it on tape," she warned. "Anything they steal is too much as far as I'm concerned."
Just down the road at another store in Hillcrest, Mat Seelinger ties up everything inside his spokes bike shop.
"[I'm] locking down anything that could be carried off easily," he advised.
Seelinger hears about thefts & burglaries happening all the time and wants to be proactive rather than reactive. He just purchased the heavy duty cables to ensure the safety of his merchandise.
"When I have so many windows in this shop and you can see everything in here, I think it's more of a deterrent."
Both store owners are locking down and looking out this holiday season all in hopes they can make the theives think twice.
"We hope so," Seelinger chuckled.
Golden added, "Hopefully the theft will be minimized."
The safety precautions shouldn't be left up to just businesses. Shoppers need to keep their eyes open leaving the stores, the cars you leave in the parking lot and often-times the merchandise left in the cars should be well-secured.

The Drowsy Chaperone (Don Ward)
Updated: 05/20/2013 - Two weekends left to catch one great show!
NEW YORK (AP) -- A watchdog group says broadcast television is implying a lot more nudity in prime time than it used to.
The Parents Television Council said Monday that its researchers found 76 instances where a person appeared nude, with private parts obscured, in prime time last season. It happened on 37 different shows.
The group says that's a sharp rise from the 15 instances the networks aired the previous season.
Examples include a couple skinny-dipping on "The Bachelor," Howie Mandel jokingly appearing nude in his dressing room at "America's Got Talent" and a naked man jumping out of a car trunk in the candid camera show "Betty White's Off Their Rockers."
In each case, the full nudity is obscured by pixilation or strategically placed objects.

Yesterday we gave you some thoughts on Liverpool's season so far. Today @miller179 gives his thoughts on a team that's actually still in the FA Cup – Luton Town.
1. So what are your thoughts on Luton's season so far?
Apart from the cup run, it's been disappointing if I'm honest. Poor performances and losing leads has been the theme of our season so far. The fans deserve more. This is our 4th season at this level and the players still seem unsure of what this league is about - and how to consistently win games. In recent weeks, manager Paul Buckle seems to have adopted a harsher, more aggressive, attitude – highlighting individual errors in the press. Do I agree with that? I'm not too sure, but if it leads to an upturn in our performances then I'm all for it. The apologists will point to the fact that we have 3 games in hand. That means nothing without winning them. With 2 games a week now until the end of the season, we're going to have to be at our very best to win the league - which looks unlikely for now. On the positive side, we seem to have the formation right. Buckle finally seems set on a 4-4-2, which I think is the right decision for the players that we have, and for the balance of the team. In any other year with our current points total we would be completely out of it, but we're not, no one is running away with it, and we still have a chance - which is incredible really considering our form and some of our results this season.
2. How are you feeling about your chances in the FA cup this season - is it a cup Luton want to progress in, and will Buckle prioritise the league?
Every Luton fan and Paul Buckle knows the priority is the league. I would give up that result against Norwich for an extra 6 points in the league within a heartbeat. But if we progress that's great for us financially, and raises the profile of the club. If you had of asked me before the Norwich game would we win, I would have said categorically no. I thought Norwich would be too strong, but this is the FA Cup, anything can happen. We've got a good chance especially as we're at home, and I'm sure Millwall will come out and go for it, which in turn is better for us. It suits us if the game is open.
3. Has Buckle improved Luton's style of play? Do you feel you can gain promotion under his management, and survive in league two?
The style of play is improving. In all fairness we've never played long-ball/hoof football, but playing 4-3-3 in my opinion made us too easy to open up. We've now settled on a 4-4-2, which hopefully means we're more solid. We're still massively susceptible to set pieces - the amount of goals we concede from set pieces is shambolic. I still wince when the opposing team has a free kick or corner because you just know there is a high likelihood of them scoring. I think we can gain promotion under Buckle, but its going to be through the playoffs. If we did do it this year we would definitely have a good chance of one of those playoff spots in League 2.
4. The football league vultures will be circling if Luton don't achieve promotion this season. Which player are you most afraid of losing in the summer?
Andre Gray is the player that stands out. He's still young, but he's getting better every game he plays. There's so much potential, he could play L1 quite easily in my opinion. He's just signed an extension to his contract which should make it harder for anyone to sign him, but realistically if we don't go up and a Championship/L1 club comes in with the right money, I'm sure he could be on his way.
5. Predicted finish in the conference this season?
Well, promotion is the one and only thing I care about. I couldn't care less how we do it. We won't win it, but I predict us to finish 3rd, win in the play offs, and then finally win the final. Luton never seem do it the easy way, there's always drama, but I really do feel as long if we can get in those play off places we can definitely beat anyone over 2 legs. And then you hope to god we wouldn't be cursed of possibly being the only team to lose a playoff final in 3 consecutive seasons.

Grace Personified: Edwardian Topaz & Diamond Tiara
"La Belle Époque" was an era full of the very rich and lavish lifestyles. With no income tax wealthy industrialists virtually became American royalty or at least aristocrats. A grand formal style emerged for those deemed "high society" with dressing for dinner a routine affair and intellectual and cultural converse reigned.
Balls, cotillions and tea parties were all gala affairs and the foundation of these whirlwind social circles with all expected and anticipated the pomp and circumstance. Many a jewel was purchased in the name of elite consumption and this sumptuous tiara of 14k yellow gold would (or did) fit right into the festivities.
Designed as a feathered plume, thirteen (13) faceted teardrops of imperial topaz (with a total estimated weight of 7.25 carats) and thirteen (13) old European cut diamonds (with a total estimated diamond weight of .40 carats) create a floral spray of sophistication and understated elegance. Behind the gems is a fitting constructed specifically to hold a feather such as that of a peacock, if so desired. The bandeau has a loop at each end to add elastic or a ribbon to hold under the hair. As the plume is hinged to the bandeau, the tiara can be worn in any number of variations and it's perfect for the bride.
The spectacular piece is accompanied by its original box of issue with an interior of cream colored satin.
Circa late 19th to early 20th century.
Measurements: Decorative are from base to top topaz is 3 inches (7.5 cm) in length by 3-1/8 inches (7.7 cm) in width. Flexible band is 10-3/4 inches (27.5 cm) in length and can be safely secured with an additional band. This hair ornament should fit most. Weight of 13.0 grams (8.4 dwt).
Condition: Excellent. Box may have been covered with fabric; light wear overall with scratches and wear; interior original cream satin with light staining.

In the 90s, the only way you moved files from computer to computer (short of emailing them) was putting them on a floppy, a Zip disk, or burning them to a CD. Then USB flash storage liberated us: Now ubiquitous, the "thumb drive" allowed fast, convenient transfer of large files from computer to computer. As they steadily dropped in price and increased in storage volume, the humble thumb drive paved the way for sexier Flash-based devices like the iPod Nano.
Runners up: broadband wireless router, PlayStation 2
Text by John Pavlus
Needs no introduction: the device that singlehandedly turned the music business on its ear and started Apple's transformation from a niche computer maker into an industry-redefining media company.
Runner up: The original Microsoft Xbox
Call it the iPod of household appliances. Its inventor, James Dyson, solved a decades-long problem--the vacuum never loses suction--and its sleek gray and yellow design made the product line into museum-worthy fetish objects. (Seriously: they were in MoMA.)
Runner up: The Roomba robotic vacuum cleaner
TiVo had been around since 1999, but it seemed destined to remain an expensive toy for TV obsessives. Instead, Big Cable realized they could make their own DVRs and bundle them into their customers' set-top boxes. Poof: suddenly everyone was speeding past commercials and using "DVR" as a verb.
Runner up: BlackBerry 6210 smartphone
Before the RAZR, cell phones were clunky appendages worn by middle managers on their hips. Then, suddenly, they were a badge of cool--and have been ever since. The RAZR's superthin profile was exceedingly sexy, even though the phone itself was a call-dropping nightmare to use.
Runners up: Bose SoundDock; Logitech laser mouse
Once a luxury option for the Lexus set, turn-by-turn digital driving directions suddenly became a convenience for the masses, thanks to TomTom and Garmin, the top two makers of those little dashboard pods you see in every rental car and livery cab.
Runners up: bluetooth headsets; Guitar Hero
By putting Intel chips inside their new notebook line, Apple dealt a deathblow to one of PC users' longest-standing canards against switching: "Well, it can't run [insert Windows application name here]." No more: With the sleek body of a Mac and the brains of a PC, the new Macbooks offered users the best of both worlds. (Not coincidentally, 2006 also saw the debut of Apple's PC-baiting "I'm a Mac" ad campaign.)
Runner up: Cheap or built-in Webcams from Logitech, Phillips, Microsoft, Apple, and others
It's not often you see three game-changing devices debut in one year, but these plastic idols ignited buying crazes that turned the smartphone, game system, and camcorder markets on their heads. Each one utterly dominated its competitors and was what everyone wanted for Christmas.
Runners up: The $500 flat-screen HDTV, the original Kindle
Who would ever want to carry a laptop in their purse (or man-bag)? A lot of people--enough for a whole new computer market to spring into existence seemingly overnight. Starting with the ASUS Eee PC 700 (which didn't even come with Windows), these sub-$500 devices with minimal features were outselling "real" laptops on Amazon by year's end. After all, why lug a 5-pound, Photoshop-running behemoth around when all you want to do is answer email and surf the Web?
Runner up: Blu-Ray players
Yes, the Kindle came out in '07, but it was buggy and unattractive. This year was when digital-reading really gained momentum: Amazon released two much-improved Kindle models, the paperback-sized Kindle 2 and the oversized Kindle DX, while Sony and Barnes & Noble got into the game with their Reader and Nook devices, respectively. Meanwhile, the tech-bloggers trembled all year at (as yet unfulfilled) rumors of an Apple tablet .
Runners up: Android-powered smartphones from HTC and Motorola

A former Penn State administrator facing criminal charges related to the Jerry Sandusky sex-abuse scandal has filed a praecipe for writ of summons against the university's former general counsel, Cynthia Baldwin, indicating he intends to sue her for legal malpractice.
Gary Schultz, represented by a team of Sprague & Sprague attorneys led by Richard A. Sprague, filed papers that were docketed Wednesday in the Centre County Court of Common Pleas. Schultz faces charges of perjury, endangering the welfare of children, failure to report child abuse and other criminal charges related to allegations he engaged in a conspiracy to conceal allegations against Sandusky, the school's former defensive coordinator and convicted serial child molester.
Beyond naming legal malpractice as a possible cause of action, the details of Schultz's allegations in civil court were not immediately clear.
However, in his criminal case, Schultz has filed pretrial motions arguing the court should dismiss his case, or suppress his grand jury testimony in the alternative, in light of the fact that he believed Baldwin a former state Supreme Court justice was representing him when he went before a grand jury in early 2011 to discuss allegations against Sandusky.
In court papers, Schultz has pled Baldwin allowed him to "believe she was his unencumbered, conflict-free lawyer," telling him before his grand jury appearance that she would represent him at the proceeding.
Former Penn State athletic director Tim Curley also moved to dismiss his case, or suppress his grand jury testimony in the alternative, arguing in court papers that Baldwin told him she could represent him before the grand jury.
When the two men testified before the grand jury, both said they were being represented by Baldwin.
Baldwin, however, has claimed she was present before the grand jury to represent the university not Schultz or Curley, both of whom have testified she was their lawyer.
As previously reported by The Legal, Baldwin has labeled the whole thing a misunderstanding.
Washington, D.C., attorney Lanny Davis, who Baldwin has previously authorized to speak on her behalf, told the HarrisburgPatriot-News and The Legal that, when Baldwin told supervising Judge Barry Feudale and representatives from the Office of the Attorney General in Feudale's chambers that she represented the university, nobody objected to her listening to the administrators' testimony.

I wrote a short introduction to tensors with a more abstract approach (not the usual approach of mathematicians either that complicates things and forgets the means to build complex formulas with the tensors they define) : I define an abstract and general concept of "tensorial expression" (without specifying a syntax, that can be done with indices or diagrams as well) that can involve any number of independent vector spaces (instead of just one space and its dual) and how its value is defined in those spaces without any choice of coordinate system (but the method to manage coordinate systems is also mentioned).
Now it is only the basic definitions but I made them short and clear, and someday I of course intend to continue with more developments and uses of this formalism for geometry and physics... |
Jun17-12, 05:29 AM | #10 |
It's amazing, I read an entire book on tensors this Christmas, but I never got this insight! Kudos
Jun26-12, 07:05 AM | #11 |
Hi guys,
I am coming from the computer science background and I did not find any of the tutorials you mentioned useful. First of all, why should I read hundred of pages about linear algebra to understand the concept of tensors? Second, even after reading all these pages about basis transformations, dot product, cross product, .... you do not have any idea about what dyadic are and for what exactly I need a tensor. In the end they give as example a second order tensor which is a matrix. Then why do I need a tensor if I can use matrices? Nobody explains to you why exactly did people introduce the tensors. I think if somebody could illustrate you the equations of the elasticity tensor (which is a tensor of order 4) and then introduce tensors to illustrate you how simple it would be to express the material law in terms of tensors, then maybe you can get the idea. But until now, I heard of people giving you only the second order tensors example (which are simply matrices). The same for dyadics, everybody just introduce dyadics as a product or as a vector pair. But what the hell are they? why a pair, is there an example? geometric interpretation??? |
Jun26-12, 11:07 AM | #12 |
Hi and welcome to the forum!
I think that it depends on the subject you are studying and the math background of the students. The stress tensor is usually introduced in the 1st-2nd bachelor year, often just a semester or two after you learn matrix algebra. This means that, for engineering purposes, it is usually a good idea to build on existing knowledge instead of continuously introducing new concepts (my students are already struggling with matrices as it is). In hindsight, I also think that it would have indeed been better to have been taught tensors in a more qualitative manner, instead of a manner focused on calculations, but I am 1 out of 150 people in the class. This means that most people would simply have had a harder time with the concept. We should keep in mind that in engineering we learn tensors as means to an end, not as general mathematical education. Of course, when I took a course in grids for my master's degree, we tackled Riemannian geometry but even there it wasn't too deeply. On the other hand, a friend in applied mathematics had a whole semester of tensor calculus, so again, it depends on the focus of the class |
Jun26-12, 12:23 PM | #13 |
Yes, it is quite cumbersome and I think that either there is no good introduction to it or I am missing some nice books. But after weeks of reading of different tutorials, I am still stucked in the definition. Still no idea about what dyads exactly are and what they represent, still no examples in relativity or elasticity with tensors of order three or four, still no idea why tensors where introduced...
Jun26-12, 03:08 PM | #14 |
Let me give this a crack:
There are two kinds of tensors. There are tensors that represent linear operators on vectors, and they give you the ability to talk about rotations, dilations, reflections, and so on. Examples of these are rotation matrices, metric tensors, moment of inertia tensors, and so on. The other kind of tensor is a generalization of vectors to higher-dimensional objects: to represent planes, volumes, and above. These are usually where dyads are introduced. When two vectors are multiplied into a dyad, there are two parts that result: a symmetric part, representing a scalar, and an antisymmetric part, representing a plane. By judiciously choosing whether to keep or reject symmetric or antisymmetric parts, we can build up planes, volumes, and so on--whatever is appropriate for the theory in question. A full-on dyadic tensor, then, is just the sum of a scalar and a plane. It may sound strange, but it's no more unusual than saying a complex number is the sum of a real number and an imaginary number. I do think that in general tensors get very divorced from their geometric interpretation and that this is a serious source of confusion. When are you going to need tensors? When the objects you deal with are no longer vectors but something of higher dimensionality iike planes. I'm not familiar with this elasticity tensor--I think I could divine its geometric interpretation by looking at how it's defined, perhaps--but let me give another example of a big tensor that requires understanding: the Riemann tensor. The Riemann tensor is rank 4, and the interpretation is as follows: for [itex]R_{\alpha \beta \gamma \delta}[/itex], you're looking at a linear operator on the plane spanned by [itex]e_\gamma, e_\delta[/itex] and extracting the component that lies in the plane of [itex]e_\alpha, e_\beta[/itex]. What does this operator do? It measures extra terms introduced by the covariant derivatives in the [itex]\gamma \delta[/itex] plane, and we look at various combinations of [itex]\alpha \beta[/itex] to see what those components are in the six planes that span 3+1D spacetime. Tensors give us the ability to talk about objects that aren't vectors but can be built from vectors--like planes--and to talk about operators on vectors and those higher dimensional objects. |

It's funny, I actually had a similar discussion with a colleague yesterday. Don't forget that tensors make use of the idea of an invariant quantity. This is actually what differentiates a matrix from a 2nd order tensor; that the latter describes a quantity that is coordinate invariant. The fact that we can define this, and more importantly test it, was a great leap forward in many aspects of science, including relativity (although Einstein used tensors after deriving special relativity). From my viewpoint, for common engineering applications, tensors are what made computational mechanics possible. When you know that the maximum stress you calculated in a complex geometry is coordinate invariant, tensors are a great language to communicate the message. Of course they are invaluable in disciplines such as differential topology, but this is a little outside the scope of this thread.
Jun27-12, 02:50 AM | #16 |
Thank you for the nice discussion about dyads. Could you go into more details, maybe with an example in relativity? Riemann is somehow strange to me..
In continuum mechanics they usually say that a stress tensor for example can be introduced as sigma*dyad_1(dyad_product)dyad_2, where sigma is the stress (a scalar) and dyad_1 and dyad_2 the Force vector and Area vector. So basically what they are saying is that to describe the stress you need two vectors: the applied forse and the area where the force is applied. This is a good idea, but I do not understand how this works with dyads. What does sigma*dyad_1(dyad_product)dyad_2 exactly mean? |
Sep15-12, 10:20 AM | #17 |
Wow - 7 years later! How time flies when you're playing with this textbook and mathematical physics :-) I was intimidated by tensors before this book (continuum mechanics, too). So thanks to the author and thanks to Astronuc for the link. I still have a zillion questions but that's always the case with me. Talk to ya in 2019.

Jeannie Phan's Illustrations Are Surreal In Nature
I really like Jeannie Phan's illustrations. They're simple and beautifully executed in acrylic gouache and ink. Her images tend towards the surreal with many of her pictorial motifs connecting up in one way or another – generally the landscape or urban envirnoment morphing into the human body. When she's not illustrating she's busy creating zines, doodling comics or delving into the pits of web coding and video games.

Meanwhile Rails 4 picks up pace, we talk to Santiago about Rails-API and all the secrets of RailsConf 2012 are revealed!
This episode is sponsored by Top Ruby Jobs. Everyone deserves to love their job (and it's probably in Ruby).
Easier rules for class structure, ProMotion for RubyMotion, JSON APIs in Rails 4, concurrency with Futuroscope, ActiveRecord help via Searchlight, and internationalization with haml-i18n-extractor.
Today's episode covers a major release for minitest, some JSON standards work, a tutorial on tagging with ActiveRecord and Postgres (plus an arduino to trigger the spray paint can), a RubyMotion tutorial and a little thing called CoVim that will blow your mind.
From multi to native json, JoyBox hits 1.0, ContextValidations and FormObjects, teaching kids at KidsCodeCamp, Plataformatec gems, tab navigation with Tabulous 2 and Git Real 2 online course.
Manage access via GitHub organizations, RubyMotion 2.0, Sidekiq Pro 1.0, deprecating `::`, under the hood of Ruby's method dispatch, and the reform gem all in this episode of Ruby5.

Probably ought to be happy your getting one of any color.

I am not sure about that, but I know most of these notebook mice will pair up to a keyboard/mouse receiver. Its a good replacement option if you have a wireless desktop and the mouse crapped out on it, like it had for me at one point.
Grrr, sold out while I was reading the discussion/reviews. I went back to buy and they were gone. I was gonna get three, too. :-(
VERY VERY UPSET- i hit purchase 2 hours ago and it never went through- then it said I bought it. No confirmation email or nothing. Emailed woot, no response. FAIL WOOT.
Wow, didn't expect my order for 3 blues to go through. But after a couple of hours of spinning, I got my confirmation. Thanks, Woot!
I had the same spinning icon forever and closed out the page. I had this happen once before on a digital camera order that did go through; so I suspected it would go through. I was in before 8:30 with my order and received a confirmation at 10am.
ATTENTION!!! ATTENTION!!! Order Processing has been fixed. Previous Orders are being reserved, just not committed.

Just when I wrote my impulse buy from woot off, I get my confirmation email and charge notification from Paypal. Good job Woot!
These are great for your kid to use with netbooks and laptops if you don't like using the computer's built-in track pad. Especially useful for gaming such as improving your "Angry Birds" scores. :-P We got one of these about a year ago for my kid's school computer and it's held up fine to a year of typical teenage abuse. Now he's done with school and uses it with his laptop. Think it cost about $35 or so at that time, so this is a FANTASTIC deal. Battery lasts for a couple of months with daily use. The only possible negative is that the USB radio plug that sticks out of the computer has square edges. Sometimes this may catch on the side of the carry case if you're not careful. We fixed this problem by moving the plug from a side USB port to one of the back ones. If we didn't already have a couple of these, I'd be in for more.
Sold out by 10am. Bummer
yup. No problem
Shoot, too late. Sold out! Oh well.
in for three confirmation page has yet to load (endless spinning graphic etc) but I did get a confirm e-mail ..
Thankfully my order finally went through. Shame about the colors, but at least I got two "pink" and one white.
It took over two hours, but I finally got my confirmation for three.

My order went through! Great job, Woot! So after an hour of the spinning icon, I got a confirmation email for my order exactly as a placed it, and a receipt from paypal. )

Thank you! My order for 3 White just went through and I ordered at about 8:30ish EST to give the rest of the forum readers an idea of what to expect.
Wow - almost 30,000 sold and gone by 9:00.
I got my confirmation for 1 white and 2 ruby pink! :D YAYYY! THANK YOU!

UPDATE: IT DID NOT SHOW IN MY ACCOUNT BUT I DID GET THE ORDER- SORRY To those who didnt
I'm still waiting for confirmation e-mail or my account page to update - I reloaded browser when I went to recheck my account. So no more spinning clock for me...
tcaruso wrote:I'm still waiting for confirmation e-mail or my account page to update - I reloaded browser when I went to recheck my account. So no more spinning clock for me...
It probably took me an hour to get my confirmation. I closed the spinning clock page from the beginning.
I had ordered 3 - one of each color but the whote one....
Dang it, I wanted 3!
Sold out already? DANG!! Hey - if Carl Winslow gets his shipped back from Ms. K, do you think I could buy it from him?
jaellehanako wrote:It probably took me an hour to get my confirmation. I closed the spinning clock page from the beginning.
opps I mean white - My wife ordered 3 (without me knowing) hours AFTER I placed my ordered and she got her confirm e-mail a few min ago

Edit: Looks like they fixed mine, "My account" now shows that the purchase went thru.
Placed an order about a 1 or 2 minutes before it went "out of stock"... just got my confirmation via email.
Whoa, needed one of these anyway, in for 3 and I'll sell the other two to cow-orkers. Very nice mouse, and a stupidly low price.

sy43165 wrote:Does this have a "clicky" or a smooth scroll wheel?
It has a smooth scroll wheel. I'm not really a big fan of that. Also, the scroll wheel has a pretty tiny diameter, so it's kind of hard to use... at least for me.
My spinning processing page finally said the order went through but no confirmation email... Just checked and woot did take my money so I guess that's a positive.
I managed to get in for three before it sold out. All three had to be white - the one color I did NOT want - but it's still a great deal...I plan to just keep them around the house to give to friends. The 45 minute wait to confirm was annoying, but it all worked out in the end.
All you people that bought this will have a device failure soon. The nano transmitter heats up and causes a device failure. I bought one on ebay and Microsoft replaced it and that one failed too. They replaced it again with the 3500 which is working fine so far. I use it on a Dell laptop with windows 7 pro. Good Luck to you...
...I think I got the last three
iamart13 wrote:what would be the purpose/point of being able to use it on a variety of surfaces? can someone give me an example?
I have this mouse on my laptop. It works on surfaces most other mice fail on - plastic work tables for example. Just bought another three as spares.
Great price. Too bad I already have one. The blue laser is way better than red.
In for 3 and got 3! All white, oh well. Sweet Woot!

The former constitutional law professor in the white house has been more than happy to sacrifice our "inalienable rights". Obama's signing of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) on Dec 31 enshrined the power of indefinite detention of anyone, including US citizens into the hands of the president and the military.
This is little surprise as we just passed 10 year anniversaries of the Patriot Act and Gitmo. Three years ago Obama began his presidency with overwhelming support from a country hungry for change. He began with a Democrat majority in the Senate and the House and promised to close Gitmo in a year. Now we can see the continuity of policy from the Bush to Obama administrations.
This makes it absolutely clear that civil liberties won't be reclaimed through the ballot box as they weren't gained there to start with. History has shown us that civil liberties are won through movements in the streets and at lunch counters. Join the ISO for a discussion of the nature of the civil liberties attacks and the organizing needed to change this course.

Time to get wonky: Learn about Option B+, an anti-HIV 'treatment for life'
What have prevention of mother-to-child (PMTCT) efforts to-date in Malawi looked like, and how has the introduction of Option B+ changed that picture?
Until 2011, Malawi had separate PMTCT and adult treatment programs. There were many barriers to scaling up PMTCT, including a lack of access to CD4 counts testing, supply chain challenges, and very limited follow-up for infants exposed to HIV. The Malawi Government's introduction of Option B+ was a calculated decision designed to improve health outcomes by streamlining, simplifying and integrating health services, thus eliminating many of the barriers to PMTCT.

Wolves open preseason in Fargo
The Minnesota Timberwolves are set to open their NBA preseason schedule at 7 tonight at the Fargodome against the Indiana Pacers. The Timberwolves made a number of moves in the offseason to make over their roster. They could have at least seven new players on their opening-day roster.By: Eric Peterson, Forum Communications Co., The Jamestown Sun
The Minnesota Timberwolves are set to open their NBA preseason schedule at 7 tonight at the Fargodome against the Indiana Pacers.
The Timberwolves made a number of moves in the offseason to make over their roster. They could have at least seven new players on their opening-day roster.
The Forum asked Wolves experts Jon Krawczynski and Jerry Zgoda for their thoughts on the upcoming season. Krawczynski is an Associated Press sports writer who covers the Timberwolves. Zgoda is a Wolves reporter for the Star Tribune.
Story lines to watch Ricky, Ricky, Ricky
The health of Ricky Rubio will be paramount for the Wolves if they hope to make it to the playoffs for the first time since 2003-04. The team was challenging for a playoff spot a season ago when Rubio injured his knee last March.
Rubio isn't expected to be back in action until at least early December.
"A lot of it depends on when Ricky comes back and how quickly it takes him to become the player he was last year," Zgoda said. "He was so much a catalyst for them last year."
Roy rebound
Brandon Roy was one of the team's key offseason signings. The question is whether the All-Star shooting guard's ailing knees will hold up this season. Roy sat out last year because of lack of cartilage between the bones in his knees.
"Roy is what they need if he can stay healthy," said Krawczynski. "He's the fourth-quarter presence that they need."
From Russia with love
The Wolves signed two Russian players in the offseason — one an NBA veteran and the other a newcomer.
Rookie Alexey Shved is a flashy shooting guard who is expected to help improve the team's outside shooting and playmaking.
Andrei Kirilenko is a defensive-minded small forward who was the Euroleague MVP last season after playing the 10 previous seasons with the Utah Jazz.3
"Kirilenko is what they need as far as he's such a versatile defender," said Krawczynski. "He can guard (three positions). He is just hard-nosed that way. They didn't have anybody like that on this team last year."
Players to watch Kevin Love
The Wolves could use another MVP-type season from the All-Star forward, who averaged 21.5 points and 15.5 rebounds per game last season. Zgoda thinks Love's stat line may not need to be as impressive this season with a deeper roster.
"Hopefully, he won't have to do as much and hopefully he will be OK with it," Zgoda said. "You would think his numbers would moderate a little more."
Derrick Williams
The second-year forward is trimmed down and more focused after a rookie season where he averaged 9.0 points and 2.5 rebounds per game. Wolves coach Rick Adelman likes what he's seen from Williams thus far this season.
"(Adelman) says he looks like a completely different player," Krawczynski said. "Their team is so much better if he is a factor."
Nikola Pekovic
The 6-foot-11, 290-pound center had a breakout season last year, averaging 13.9 points and 7.4 rebounds per game. The Wolves need the production to continue.
"He looks like he's more mobile," Zgoda said.

What's Tampa Bay Saying?
Should the $1 Bill Go Away?
The measure could save the U.S. government a lot of money, but do you think it's worth it? We want to hear your thoughts, Tampa Bay!
Can you imagine having to count out coins every time you wanted to break a $5 bill? That could be the future for Americans if a request by the U.S. Mint is granted. The federal government is currently exploring the possibility of doing away with the $1 bill as a way to save taxpayers money, according to The Huffington Post. While there would be some upfront costs involved in making the switch, the measure could save as much as $4.4 billion over the next three decades. That savings comes from the fact that coins stand up to the test of time longer than paper bills, the Post reports. A report is currently being put together for Congress by the Mint. It explores not only a change in $1 currency, but also the metals used in the making of coins…
3:28 pm on Friday, February 8, 2013
Get rid of the penny, nickel, dime(since they are like worthless now; even the hobos ask for a dollar), $1 bill, and $2 bill. Round up or down to the nearest quarter dollar. That will save the gov a lot of money and we don't have to carry those coins(penny, nickel, dime) any more.   more ›

Plano West head coach Don Patterson retires
BY Kevin Hageland, firstname.lastname@example.com
Friday's 64-63 Region II Semifinal loss to Pflugerville wasn't just the end of the season for the Plano West girls basketball team, it marked the end of head coach Don Patterson's career.
Patterson told his team Tuesday morning he was retiring.
"There were a few tears," Patterson said. "I think it was a bit of a stunner for them and for me, it was definitely one of the hardest things I've ever had to do."
"Everyone always said you know when you know," Patterson said. "So, in November, I looked at my wife and said, 'I think I'm done.' And once I knew it was going to be my last season, I figured, 'we better make it a good one.'"
West accomplished that feat by advancing to regionals for the first time since 2006-07.
