Does anyone know how to apply a SquareTrade coupon for a warranty on an Ebay item?
I bought on Ebay an AS7750 via Woot. baqui63 sent me a SquareTrade 30% coupon for a warranty on computers. SquareTrade informed me in a conversation with a ST rep that 'We do not apply coupons to purchases on Ebay.' Has anyone applied a ST coupon to purchase a warranty at discount on an Ebay item? I did get an offer from ST to purchase a warranty for the AS7750 for $75 but I would like to drop that price, obviously, if possible.
2 Answers answer
I think ST only allows warranties for reputable vendors. Has woot! started on ebay now? YMMV.
One of the sponsored deals yesterday (or the day before?) was on Acer stuff from Acer's eBay store.

I am trying to do a very basic thing with the new Graph API.
I already know how to get my friends: "https://graph.facebook.com/me/friends?access_token=4333ed34d..."
But if I have a friend who's ID is 123456, then I want to get his friends : "https://graph.facebook.com/123456/friends?access_token=4333ed34d..."
But I get an exception:
"The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error."
Why can't I do that? It's a very trivial task to ask from the API.

Beanbag Toss
- 4-by-6-inch scraps of material
- Needle and thread
- Dried beans
- Ziploc bag
The Ziploc bag protects the beans even if the bag gets wet.
- Fill a small Ziploc bag with dried beans.
- Sew two squares of material together on three sides, leaving a space on the fourth side big enough to slide in the bag of beans.
- Turn the bag inside out to hide the seams, insert the bag of beans, then sew up the space. (If you don't have time to sew a bean bag, pour beans into an old sock, knot the open end, and turn down the cuff.)
- Use the bean bag to play catch, or have your child toss the bag into an empty laundry basket from a few feet away.

The Auburn baseball team will play a total of 28 games against teams that played in the 2012 NCAA Tournament as head coach John Pawlowski announced the 2013 schedule on Friday. Auburn will play 13 of those games at Plainsman Park, with two coming in the second weekend of the season at the annual tournament.
Opening Day for the 2013 season is Friday, Feb. 15 when Auburn plays host to Maine in the first of a four-game series that runs through Monday. The following weekend Auburn plays host to its annual tournament, which includes last year's NCAA Tournament participants College of Charleston, where Pawlowski was the head coach for nine years, and Indiana State along with Middle Tennessee State.
The rest of the pre-conference schedule includes a home-and-home with Kennesaw State (Feb. 26 and March 12), weekend series with Eastern Illinois (March 1-3) and Brown (March 8-10) and the annual Capital City Classic against rival Alabama on Tuesday, March 5 at Riverwalk Stadium in Montgomery.
Auburn's SEC schedule begins with a visit from Vanderbilt (March 15-17) before a weekend trip to LSU (March 22-24). The month of March ends with a visit from Alabama (March 29-31).
Auburn will play on the road in three out of four April weekends, heading to league newcomer Texas A&M (Apr. 5-7), Mississippi State (Apr. 19-21) and the other league newcomer Missouri (Apr. 26-28). The lone home weekend in April is when Georgia (Apr. 12-14) visits Plainsman Park.
The final three conference weekends of the season brings Ole Miss (May 3-5) to Plainsman Park and takes Auburn to Florida (May 10-12) before the regular season wraps up at home against Arkansas (May 16-18).
The rest of the non-conference schedule is filled out with home dates against Alabama State (Mach 19 and Apr. 10), Wofford (Apr. 3), Samford (May 8) and Jacksonville State (May 14). Auburn's away midweek contests are on March 20 against Southern Miss at Hank Aaron Stadium in Mobile, March 26 at Troy, Apr. 16 at Samford and May 7 at Jacksonville State.

"This year is kinda late. Normally by the time we get to the 20th of April we've got that past us but this year has been cooler and very different," says Jackson
SCOTTSVILLE / BOWLING GREEN, Ky. - Warm temperatures have local fruit crops blooming right on schedule, but as the mercury has dropped the concern for damaging frost has gone up.
"It gets serious because grapes and other kinds of fruiting plants they put out their fruiting parts pretty early," says Ralph Jenkins.
The vines at Kentucky Hilltop Vineyards have plenty of green but a late season frost could wipe away the growth. While damage is a concern for all farmers, Ralph Jenkins says his grapes are especially vulnerable.
"In the case of a vineyard it gets even worse because if that has to re-grow the re-growth comes from parts of the vine that may not make a bloom so if it does frost tonight that will be pretty serious," says Jenkins.
What concerns farmers like Ralph Jenkins the most is there are plenty of buds and leaves already on his grape vines.
Other farmers say they aren't worried about the frost because the location of their crops.
"We're not as concerned by a frost because we have less frost up on top of this hill then you do in low areas, but as long as the temperature stays above 32 then we are pretty comfortable," says Bill Jackson of Jackson's Orchard.
Jackson's Orchard has a variety of apples trees that have bloomed. While they aren't concerned, Bill Jackson says this most recent dip in temperatures is rare.
"This year is kinda late. Normally by the time we get to the 20th of April we've got that past us but this year has been cooler and very different," says Jackson
Jackson says the stress of mother nature's inconsistency hasn't phased him yet. It's all part of being a farmer.

Seeing things.
Dear readers, I'm afraid I owe you an apology. Last week, I criticized members of the media for their coverage of Pope Francis's meeting with President Obama. Before the meeting, some commentators suggested that the pope was planning to confront the president about his support for the contraception mandate and abortion rights. And after the meeting others contrasted the Vatican's press release with Obama's recollections at a press conference. I wrote:
There's nothing perplexing about the differences between a formal Vatican statement and a president's ad libbed remarks to the press. The Vatican's news release was never going to contain revealing language about the pope's emotional response to meeting Obama. It was never going to go on at any length or in any detail about what they discussed. When Benedict XVI met with George W. Bush in 2008, for example, it was, yes, awesome, but the joint statement of the Holy See and the White House didn't exactly describe the visit in florid terms. That's just how these things go.
How mistaken I was. If only I'd waited a couple of days, I would have had my illusions dispelled by George Weigel. He, too, takes issue with pre-meeting speculation, noting that some of it caused "confusion" that was "instructive on several counts." According to Weigel, that shows just how "poorly equipped" most of the media is "to cover the Vatican and its ways." But those ways are right in Weigel's wheelhouse, so he attempts to sort through them for the rookie Vaticanista, beginning where so many of Catholicism's riches lie: symbolism, especially photographic symbolism, particularly photographic symbolism that entails the appearance of popes with other world leaders.
Pope Francis conducted his conversation with President Obama across a desk — a stage-setting exercise on the Vatican's part that one canny media veteran thought "a tad aggressive" and another observer said resembled a school principal having a firm talk with a recalcitrant student.
I hadn't considered that. But now that Weigel mentions it, I see his point. How many office-hours have I spent sitting across the desk from a professor who offered firm rebuttals to my half-baked musings on this or that theological problem? Of course, I may have been too arrogant to understand how thoroughly my incompetence had been exposed. But I had no illusions about who had authority and who did not.
See for yourself:
There you have it. On one side: Leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics, chosen by the College of Cardinals to serve for the rest of his life, whose approval ratings are the envy of elected officials across the globe. On the other: president of a country of 320 million, half of whom aren't happy with his leadership, and a tiny fraction of whom cares enough to vote. Could Pope Francis have been any clearer? When a pope places a desk between a world leader and himself, it's obvious to anyone who knows anything about the Catholic Church that he is signaling the distance between the two--if not his outright disapproval.
Just look at how Pope John Paul II handled talks with his collaborator--or at least pen pal--Ronald Reagan:
Wait, that can't be right. Let's try again. Here's a photo of Benedict XVI and George W. Bush, who, we know, agreed on the non-negotiables:
Well, now I'm beginning to wonder whether Weigel really is keyed in to the nuances of papal photography. He has more to say on the subject. Quite a bit, actually:
Then there were the first photos released by the Holy See. Pope Francis is loath to be turned into a stage prop for politicians, and so he generally avoids offering photographers smiling shots when he is with heads of state or government. And while the photo used on the front page of the March 28 Washington Post showed Francis smiling at what appears to have been an Obama witticism, the first photo of the two men released by the Vatican offered a different image and message: a rather stern-looking pope beside a smiling president who seemed unaware of his conversation partner's wish not to be used. The same was true of the official photo of the pope with the presidential party. Most of the Americans (including POTUS but not, instructively, Susan Rice) were cheerfully, almost blithely, grinning; Pope Francis, with guarded eyes and a flat expression, seemed discinclined to join the jollity.
All right, maybe Weigel has a point here. The pope doesn't look too thrilled to be standing next to the contraceptor-in-chief, does he?
But the Washington Post wasn't the only outlet to side with the White House by distributing the happiest-clappiest shots of pope and president. The L.A. Times and the New York Times ran with photos depicting a pope clearly working hard to mask his disdain for Obama's domestic agenda. Even a local news station captured a telling moment, when the pope gave Obama a copy of his apostolic exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium.
Weigel translates that papal message too: "The pope offered the president...Evangelii Gaudium (The Joy of the Gospel), as if to say, 'You and your people have been making a number of suggestions about who I am and what I'm about; here is who I really am, and here is the central theme of my pontificate: a call to the Church to consider itself in permanent mission, bringing the divine mercy to the world.'" Obviously Francis intended Obama to focus on the passages Weigel highlights, in which the pope defends the unborn. It's written all over his face.
Of course, Francis would never come out and say such a thing. But as Weigel notes, it's what the Vatican didn't say that speaks volumes. Its news release was, according to Weigel, "striking in its terseness." Here's the part about what they discussed:
In the context of bilateral relations and cooperation between Church and State, there was a discussion on questions of particular relevance for the Church in that country [the United States], such as the exercise of the rights to religious freedom, life, and conscientious objection, as well as the issue of immigration reform. Finally, the common commitment to the eradication of trafficking of human persons in the world was stated.
I know, difficult to understand--and somewhat more oblique than, say, John Paul II's comments to George W. Bush in the run-up to the Iraq war. But Weigel is on this too. "The Holy See underscored that it was very concerned about the HHS mandate and its impact on the religious freedom of all, about the administration's radical pro-abortion policies, and about the effects of all this on the civil and legal position of Americans of conscience."
Now, you shouldn't fault yourself for not being able to read these tea leaves as clearly as Weigel can. He knows more than your average observer of things Catholic. For example, did you know that Pope Francis's "insistence on the reality of Satan" stems from his "repeated references to Robert Hugh Benson's 1907 dystopian novel, Lord of the World"? But don't rush out and buy it, Weigel cautions--it's not exactly "(cue gentle cough behind hand) great literature"--he can interpret that for you too.
For like the Antichrist figure in Signorelli's Last Judgment fresco cycle in the Orvieto cathedral, Benson's Antichrist is an attractive man: intelligent, urbane, seemingly sympathetic to suffering, a mesmerizing public speaker.
Sound familiar?
Yet beneath that attractive façade is a demonic figure obsessed with power and determined to cast the God of the Bible out of human affairs: a man who is an instrument of Satan, the great deceiver and, as Jorge Mario Bergoglio not infrequently refers to him, the "father of lies."
In other words, dear readers, don't be fooled. Not by White House spin doctors. Not by the Vatican statement itself. Sometimes it takes a seasoned professional to decode complex Catholic messages, to tell you which words of a photo's thousand matter, or which parts of a papal encyclical you can safely dismiss.
Because if anything is clear from Weigel's long career commenting on papal comings and goings, it's this: If you bring the signal, he'll bring the noise.

How right Weigel is! Look at that body language in the first photo. Supplicant on the right hoping for a B+; principal on the left urging better behavior. How could we have missed that?
Oh dear, now George Weigel is an expert in body language.
Grant, you can Google even more images. President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, President of Liberia, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf (Apr, 5), Presiden ot Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan (Mar. 22) - all seated across the same desk as he did with Obama.
I find it interesting to note how ornate is the desk used by Pope Benedict XVI!
Stealing from Gov. Ann Richards in her campaign that defeated George (Shrub) Bush in the state of Texas in his first political campaign:
Well, George W. can't help it; he was born with a papal seal stamped on his brain and that seal allows him to perfectly read all papal *tea leaves*.
More of the ridiculous Weigel: http://ncronline.org/blogs/distinctly-catholic/weigel-criticizes-omalley-bishops-over-border-mass
There's nothing sadder than someone who USED to have access to certain levels of power and influence who now comes face to face with the reality of being a has-been, particularly when said person remains a wannabe.
Bowing out gracefully is a sign of class. Continuing to bloviate isn't. Weigel and Wild Bill Donahue should go on the road on an EWTN lecture circuit, sponsored by the Knights of Columbus and Opus Dei.
Jim, I may be wrong in my intuition but It seems to me that this Pope can't be manipulatrd by ANYONE.
Helen: JPII was his own man. Along came Marcial Maciel Degollado and money. The rest is embarrassing history.
We don't know enough yet about Francis. I hope you are correct, but we shall see.
JPII was his own man. ?? No way. He was indebted to Cardinal Krol.
I would like to see the Pope's cross
Of these two world leaders, I believe that President Obama has much more integrity than Pope Francis has.
Rather than Commonweal wasting its time with talking about the highly marketed pope taking the President to task for respecting the rights of women to make their own decisions on birth control, I would have hoped that Commonweal would be concerned about whether President Obama would tell Pope Francis that it is necessary for the Attorney General to investigate the sexual abuse of innocent children and vulnerable adults by predator priests in the Catholic Church, since it is a matter of civil law.
I am a physician who is Catholic. I have met many who have been sexually abused by priests. Right now, Pope Francis is abusing diplomatic immunity, as he protects his Archbishop Wesolowski from facing charges of sexually abusing young boys in Poland and in the Dominican Republic, where he was papal nuncio. The pope says his archbishop will be investigated in the Vatican. It is the job of law enforcement, not the job of the church, to investigate crimes and criminals. After the police investigate and prosecute and put predators in prison, the church can decide what else to do by canon law, but not before civil law deals with the predator clergy. The pope cannot be his own law in 2014.
Sincerely, Dr Rosemary Eileen McHugh, M.D., M.Spir.
Dr Rosemary Eileen McHugh:
You should get together with Judy Jones of SNAP.
You two would get along mighty fine.
Let us not obsess over the Distinguished Senior think tank Fellow. He is currently playing a bad hand, and he lost his edge during the years when he was able to deal himself a bunch of good ones.
The photos are good, though. Obama and Reagan knew how to appear attentive, while the Decider slouched as if he were discussing football with Condi on a Saturday afternoon. (With Nan Dan, I'd like a better view of Francis's cross.)
But you can't trust photos. Everyone was amazed at how suavely I carried off my role when my wife and I were married, yet in all the photos she appears serene while I appear like someone who just realized his hair is on fire. Maybe the Decider was caught in the middle of shifting into an attentive pose. If you go back and look at a bunch of the group shots involving Pope Pius XII you will see why Bob Olmstead was convinced the photos were taken with a cardboard cutout of the pope.
You should get together with Judy Jones of SNAP.
? Dr. McHugh has a case, Ms. Jones has a job.
Benedict wins the desk sweepstakes, hands down.
Note to the Vatican media office: next time, perhaps the Holy Father can further cultivate his image for unassuming humility by meeting with the next world leader, not across a table or a desk, but crammed into one of those worker-bee cubicles with swivel chair for occupant, green or orange chair with plastic arms for visitor, two drawers, a desktop computer, and coat hook. Or they could sit across the lunch table from one another in the guest-house refectory. Or Skype.
Is it true that George was the model for Robert Langdon in Dan Brown's novels? He sure reads the Vatican symbols in a way that Langdon would envy.
Poor George Weigel, after a lifetime of cultivating the right-wing corporate gravy train, he now has to sport that very strained Nixon-plastic smile now that all that Weigle has to talk about is a seriously humble Jesuit pope with those disturbing connections to liberation theology.
When all you body-language experts are analyzing the presidential-papal moment at the desk, you should remember that both of these men are very skilled politicians who are playing to very different political bases: Papa Francesco needed to buck-up his American hierarch minions who are totally discredited with the American public; President Obama is desperate to avoid a political wipeout for Democrats this November. Ergo, both needed to make nice.
Remember, all politics are local: Both the pope and president - looking past each other - were only "making nice" sitting at that desk. Neither one was going to invite a substantive discussion of the political issues that seperate them.
@ Rosemary McHugh: It has been my experience that American politicians, especially Democrats, are loathe to take on the Catholic Church mainly because with the hierarchs' deep pockets they can usually fend-off any legal challenges in court [cases in point: Finn in Kansas City & Lynn in Philadelphia - sadly there are many more].
The lawyers' adage goes: You never want to find yourself in court against either Major League Baseball or the Catholic Church - you always loose. Besides, in the case of American hierarchs, rich men do not go to jail in America.
There is no political upside for American politicians to go out of their way to antagonize the hierarchs when it is critical to court their politically conservative congregations when election time comes around. [For Democrats, they need the ever growing Latino segment of the electorate to provide their margins of victory. Latino's, while liberal about immigration and labor issues, remain way too macho on 'family' matters.]
[BTW, I'm sure Democratic election strategists ordered another round of beers for everyone at the bar when those images of Cardinal Padre Sean O'Malley celebrating Mass on the Mexican border were flashed across American TV screens, all the while the Republican crazies are still bellowing about "building that wall." Never interfer when your political opponents have a gun pointed at their heads.]
Jim P. Do I detect a lack of satisfaction with your current office arrangements? Our last employee who expressed such thoughts was relocated to the basement with uncovered electric wires sagging over his desk. That space, I believe, is still available.
Tom - you must be psychic :-). I'm in a different kind of environment now, but I did spend many years in quarters similar to what I described, and had some great meetings. Two-in-a-cube beats that ingenious corporate innovation from the '80's: the conference room with the high table and no chairs, to prevent people from settling in and having long meetings. I don't know what President Obama's work digs were like in his community-organizer days, but your basement may be a step up from those. Plus, the guy in your basement can stir the cans of paint from time to time, and toss a load in the dryer.
Another condescending, sarcastic and judgemental piece. Where is mercy?
"I'm sure Democratic election strategists ordered another round of beers for everyone at the bar when those images of Cardinal Padre Sean O'Malley celebrating Mass on the Mexican border were flashed across American TV screens, all the while the Republican crazies are still bellowing about "building that wall."
Not so fast, Democrats. The Republicans has an ace up thier sleeves on the immigration issue - JEB BUSH.
Jeb speaks Spanish fluently, is married to a Mexican woman, and has spoken out strongly about the plight of illegal immigrants:
"The way I look at this is someone who comes to our country because they couldn't come legally ... and they crossed the border because they had no other means to work, to be able to provide for their family, yes, they broke the law, but it's not a felony.... .It's an act of love, it's an act of commitment to your family."
In addition, he is a fourth degree Knight of Columbus (Channel Carl Anderson.).
Helen, For the Jebster can get the current Republican Party's nomination Rush Limbaugh would have to shut up, and FoxNews would have to shut down.
It's a shame because he seems like a decent sort of chap, not like the looney tunes that the seem to be running for the Reppublican nomination.
I noticed this paragraph in Francis X. Rocca's writeup of the meeting for CNS:
Inside the library, the two leaders sat down on either side of the pope's desk, each with an interpreter beside him. Through his interpreter, Msgr. Mark Miles, the pope, who spoke in Spanish, could be heard telling the president: "I'd like you to feel really at home here."
It's too bad there aren't any photos to prove that the pope had his fingers crossed behind his back the whole time!
Thanks, Mollie, for the link. I've been wondering who that cute translator is. ;-)
Getting back to the seating arrangement. Both Netanyahu and Ken Hackett, Obama's ambassador to the Holy See, sat to the left of the pope not on the opposite side of the desk.
@ Helen: Most Democrats are salivating at the prospect of running against another Bush. [Maybe they could get W. to paint their portraits, too!?!]
Jeb was not a very popular governor by the time his term ended - he only looks good compared than bald-headed fool who now holds the job.
No one cares that Jeb speaks enough Spanish so that he can converse with his housekeeper and gardner. The Bushes are just so white ... just ask Barbara!
Besides, as long as Jeb goes around expressing his "love" for immigration and immigrants, all those racist crazies in the Republican party are not going to support him.
I just hope that Jeb will don his KofC plumed chapeau, unsheath his trusty sword and swish around in his red and black cape. The increasingly diverse American electorate will immediately identify him with all those other aging boozers in the KofC and start to laugh out loud.
[I should acknowledge that my dad was a Fourth Degree KofC. My cousin is presently the Grand Knight in Frostburg, MD - trust me there is nothing else going on in Frostburg these days that amounts to little more than a social club drinking with your buddies. I'm not disparaging that - drinking with your buddies is a good thing!]
Unfortunately, the press and world media are in too much of a hurry to see a fight break out than to notice two world leaders sit down and converse together. Are the super right wing folk disappointed that Pope Francis didn't scream and shout at Obama for his stance? Or pick a fight in his post meeting remarks? Our new pope is tolerant, polite, receptive and, most importantly, PASTORAL. His pastoral side continues to dominate and give us all hope for a more forgiving, good news church.

One Dead Under the Cuckoo's Nest: A Pauline Sokol Mystery (Mass Market Paperbound)
When Pauline Sokol goes undercover to investigate brokers who match psychiatric patients with treatment facilities for high dollar bounties, she suddenly finds herself confined against her will in a mental hospital run by nuns! Of course, convincing the staff that she's not crazy is like convincing a jailer that she's innocent, so Pauline decides to use the time to her advantage and continues with her investigation. Just as she starts to immerse herself in this strange world and make some headway, her hunky cohort Jagger shows up. When Jagger won't help her escape, Pauline knows that she's in deeper than she ever imagined and her only hope is the help of her colorful and "off kilter" new friends – her fellow patients. But when a crooked cross dressing nun winds up dead, Pauline knows that only her wits can save her from a killer that's committed to silencing her...permanently.

John Tierney
Fred R. Conrad/The New York Times
John Tierney writes a column, Findings, for the Science Times section. He previously wrote the Big City column for the Times Magazine and the Metro section, the Political Points column for the Washington bureau, and an Op-Ed column.
He is the co-author, with the social psychologist Roy Baumeister, of the New York Times best-seller, Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength (Penguin Press, 2011). An excerpt, "Do You Suffer from Decision Fatigue?", ran in the Times Magazine. It was reviewed in the Times by Steven Pinker and named one of Amazon's Best Books of 2011.
Mr. Tierney writes often about social sciences and about general controversies in science and medicine, such as the prosecution of doctors for prescribing pain medication. He has written columns on energy, like a $5,000 bet he placed on the price of oil, and about environmental issues, including a much-quoted critique of recycling.
Mr. Tierney is also the author of The Best-Case Scenario Handbook (Workman Publishing, 2002), and the co-author, with Christopher Buckley, of the comic novel, God Is My Broker: A Monk Tycoon Reveals the 7 ½ Laws of Spiritual and Financial Growth (Random House, 1999).
Prior to joining the Times, Mr. Tierney was a contributing editor to Discover and Health magazines, a staff writer at Science 81-85 magazine, a reporter for the Washington Star and the Bergen Record, and a free-lance writer for many magazines. His reporting took him to six continents and won awards from American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Institute of Physics and the New York Publishers Association.

So, we are going to have to wait another year for the possibility of a Triple Crown winner. This time, the chestnut colt didn't even make it to the starting gate. The excitement swirling around Belmont Park had racing enthusiasts sitting on pins and needles waiting for the colt to make another run.
Unfortunately, I'll Have Another's bid to become the 12th horse to win the Triple Crown ended stunningly Friday with an injury to his left front tendon. He was pegged as the favorite to win what's considered the toughest race of the Triple Crown series. Once an unfamiliar name on the racing circuit, Mario Gutierrez rose from obscurity to grab the hearts and attention of the racing world. Now all we can do is speculate on the possibility of a fairytale ending.
I don't need a calendar to tell me what time of the year it is. The days get longer, reservations are a must for outdoor dining and kids are enjoying the pool with friends. An unstructured schedule and change of focus is a much-needed break everyone has been looking forward to. But don't get too relaxed during the next few months. The Voice-Tribune needs its loyal readers to take notice as we begin to reveal the names of this year's nominee's for BD2012.
Over the next 8 weeks, find out which women, men and couples have been chosen to take part in this year's event. As the momentum builds with each passing week, so does the pressure on the Best Dressed team to somehow out-do last year's show. We've set a high standard amongst ourselves and we continue to work in unison to keep raising the bar.
The Voice-Tribune realizes that our event is successful because of the continuous support of its loyal sponsors, recognizing that each partnership is vital to the success of Louisville's premier fashion show. We truly appreciate the generosity of each sponsor and value the working relationship and trust we have built together over the years.
It's never too early to purchase your tickets for BD2012. VIP lounges for 10 are $2,500, tables for six are $1,200, tables for four are $800 and runway seating is $135.

There are examples that show the set of extreme points of a compact convex subset of a locally convex topological vector space need not be closed when the real dimension of the space is at least 3. Is it true that the set of extreme points of a compact convex subset must be closed if the locally convex space in question has dimension 2?
By definition, a non-extreme boundary point lies on an open line segment contained in the set, which happens to be an open subset of the boundary in two dimensions. Hence the set of extreme points is a closed subset of the boundary.
[Just a historical remark.] AFAIK, the fact that the set of all extreme points of a compact convex subset of $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ must be closed is due to the legendary American mathematician G. Baley Price (1905-2006), in "On the extreme points of convex sets", Duke Math. J. Volume 3, Number 1 (1937), 56-67 (page 62).

6 Movie Heroes Who Actually Made Things Worse
The typical Hollywood blockbuster has a pretty straightforward plot, with the good guy thwarting the bad guy's evil schemes and then kicking him off the Hoover Dam onto an exploding submarine.
But here's a fun little game you can play: watch a movie and ask yourself what would had happened if the hero hadn't showed up at all. You'll be surprised how often things would have actually turned out for the better.
#6. The Inglourious Basterds
The Plot:
Brad Pitt and his Jewish commandos rampage through World War II Europe, killing the asses off of every Nazi they find.
Honesty in advertising.
They catch wind of an upcoming film screening that Hitler and the rest of the Nazi higher-ups will be attending and concoct a shoddy plan to infiltrate and destroy them.
Wait, are we going to try to complain about a plan to kill Hitler?
Well, maybe this Hitler.
The Problem:
Yep. What they don't realize is that the screening is already a brilliant plan to assassinate the Nazi leaders that would've gone off flawlessly even if--in fact, especially if--they had just stayed out of it.
The lady running the theater, Shoshanna, is actually a French Jew in disguise, seeking revenge for her murdered family at the hands of the S.S. She manages to fool all the higher ups, including Hitler and Goebbels, into gathering together in a single building which she intends to seal up tighter than a pickle jar and burn to the ground.
The only way it could have possibly gone wrong is if some absolute moron showed up at the reception and began acting absurdly suspicious.
When the Basterds show up, trying to fake speaking Italian even though they barely know a word of it, Nazi superman Colonel Landa spots them immediately and hauls them out of the theater. Only the fact that Landa decides at that moment to turn on his superiors (and let the attack happen) prevents him from derailing the whole thing.
He may be a sadistic mass-murderer, but we just can't stay angry at that face!
Meanwhile, two of the basterds remain in the theater with bombs strapped to their legs, which also proves totally unnecessary since the doors are already locked and the fire is already started. Hitler and his cronies had no way out, and the place was about to turn into a blast furnace. The two basterds essentially blow themselves up for no reason.
Brad Pitt's clumsy intervention allows the murderous Landa to escape certain burnery death and make a deal with the American government for his freedom. Brad Pitt gives Landa a forehead scar, true, but this hardly seems adequate punishment for being an instrumental part of mass genocide seeing as how facial reconstructive surgery has been around since WWI and unsightly skin blemishes can be covered up by strategically placed headwear.
"Hope you like dew-rags, mother-fucker."
If They'd Just Stayed Away:
Not only would the Nazi brass have died, but Landa too. And the two basterds, along with their actress friend (who gets strangled by Landa) would have lived to see the end of the war. Everybody's happy.
#5. Naomi Watts in The Ring
The Plot:
Naomi Watts plays a journalist investigating a string of teenager deaths. She figures out they are connected to a mysterious videotape that unleashes a murderous ghost on all those who watch it.
Pictured: Journalism.
She eventually figures out that the only way to avoid death at the hands of the tape ghost is to make copies and unleash it on strangers. She does just that.
The Problem:
Did we mention that, before Watts intervened, the only copy of the video is in a ridiculously isolated motel in the middle of the goddamn mountains? Where no one was likely to ever watch it again?
Instead, Watts brings the tape with her into the city, which results in both her son and her quasi-boyfriend watching it, effectively dooming them both. In her struggle to find a way around death by phantom, she inadvertently releases the vengeful ghost from her prison and it kills her boyfriend.
But hey, we all make mistakes.
Watts discovers that the only way around psychic drowning at the hands of a dead girl is to make copies of the video and show them to other people, thus spreading the ghost murder like a cancer throughout the rest of the world.
If She'd Just Stayed Away:
Imagine if, instead of buying into the concept of a haunted video tape in the first place, she just chalked the deaths up to the things that normally kill teenagers in these movies (underage drinking and premarital sex).
And disembodied hands.
The tape would've stayed in the aforementioned goddamn mountains and probably wound up in the trash when the motel either went out of business or decided to convert the rooms to DVD.
#4. Kick-Ass
The Plot:
Aaron Johnson plays Kick-Ass, a geek who decides to become a superhero, despite a lack of gadgets or training or anything else that would aid him in the task.
Jew-fro notwithstanding.
The Problem:
In the movie, we see him stop precisely one crime--the savage beating of some random guy by a gang. This seems noble until you consider that we have no idea what the man is being beaten for. He looks just as shady as his assailants, so for all we know this guy shot somebody's grandmother...
... and Kick-Ass just thwarted some old fashioned street justice. You know, the kind that Kick-Ass himself wants to hand out.
Even worse, he gets in the way of two actual superheroes, Big Daddy and Hit Girl.
Unlike Kick-Ass, these two are highly competent and ruthlessly deadly vigilantes who realize early on that Kick-Ass, while not much of a hero, has his heart in the right place and offer him their assistance should he ever need it. Then the two get back to their intricate plan to take down Frank D'Amico, a major crime boss responsible for the death of Big Daddy's wife (and Hit Girl's mother), something that Hit Girl has literally spent her entire life preparing for.
Kick-Ass proceeds to absolutely wreck this plan by getting fooled by D'Amico's son and leading his thug army to Big Daddy's secret hideout, which immediately results in Hit Girl getting shot out of a window by McLovin.
The acne-dusted face of super-villainy.
They then carry Big Daddy and Kick-Ass to a warehouse and torture them before eventually burning Big Daddy to death with kerosene. Hit Girl shows up in time to rescue Kick-Ass and the two manage to carry out the plan she and her father had started, but none of this would've been necessary if Kick-Ass had just stayed home and played World of Warcraft.
If He'd Just Stayed Away:
Hit Girl and Big Daddy would've had their revenge and then gone to Disneyland or something. McLovin would have never been inspired to become a supervillain, and Kick-Ass would have saved some serious money on hospital bills.

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
In reality, you may mostly find the shortened form of and written as 'n, -- one apostrophe before n.
The rationale can be found in its evolution. In informal use, words ending in ing started appearing with the final g dropped: goin'. This has extended to many words with a penultimate n, so and became an'.
Next shortening, confined almost exclusively to the word and, dropped the a -- when it was written variously as 'n' / 'n.
Even now both the forms can be seen.
Since you are replacing letters before and after, 'n' is the most common. I don't know that there is a "proper" placement though.
In some sense, since replacing the "and" with "n" is not standard, there'll be no actual standard for the spelling either. But if a standard is really 'anything that doesn't look too weird, then you'd write it with an apostrophe for everything eliminated (that's the normal operation of an apostrophe), that is, an apostrophe on either side of the "n":
Alternatives that work and are used
the latter being the most common.

Hartford - Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said Tuesday that he supports banning the future sale and possession of high-capacity magazines with more than 10 rounds but would not support banning the possession of weapons that might be added to the list of what is considered an assault weapon.
People whose weapons are added to the list would have to pass a background check to keep them, he said to reporters on Tuesday after his monthly meeting with state agency commissioners.
One of the gun control sticking points in the state Capitol is whether to ban the possession of high-capacity magazines. A ban would mean that those who currently own high-capacity magazines would have to sell them outside of the state or have them altered to have a maximum capacity of 10 rounds.
When asked whether he would accept a grandfather clause for high-capacity magazines, as he said he could for assault weapons, Malloy said, "I am not going to change my position that a ban would be best; however, I would look at the legislation in total before I make any decision."
Malloy said there currently is no final package of gun control laws from Senate and House leadership and that he has not talked about vetoing a bill that doesn't meet particular criteria.
"I continue to believe that the ban on the possession of magazines over 10 (rounds) would be the best way to do this," Malloy said. "On the other hand, there is a legislative process."
Democrats on the legislature's Bipartisan Task Force on Gun Violence Prevention and Children's Safety put a ban on the sale and possession of high-capacity magazines in their recommendations to leadership, whereas the Republicans did not.

Which cable and internet provider should I choose?
I am looking at Time Warner Cable and AT&T Uverse. The Uverse package is better all over, but I am concerned about the 250GB/month cap on the data. Time Warner Cable is a bit more expensive but gives me unlimited data (and the package itself is not as good on the cable side of things). Do any Wooters have experience with either of these companies? And would the 250GB of data be ok for me? I stream TV shows at least 2-3 times per week and also listen to some Pandora when around the house. I also download movies and TV about 2-5 times a month. They both give me comparable speeds internet wise, but I am mostly concerned with that data limit on AT&T. Thanks in advance for any help - also realize that I don't have an interenet connection at home and am gonna be slow responding to this... I have to go to Starbucks, the college campus, or work to get some internet.

Data limit on ATT huh? I don't believe I have this restriction with my U-verse package. That being said, I totally love it. Beats all other cable providers around here..
Check local reviews of their services. In my area U-verse is utter garbage. When they expanded they did virtually no updates to the system. So all their junk is crammed on aged material, wires, and stuff that wasn't made to hold it all. Plus a cap on data? I hate to see that crap. Mostly because it's crap.
Links to possibly help.
There's no cap on my U-verse account. It's also the fastest and most reliable provider I've ever had. In more than three years I've never had a single outage. I still have service when the power goes out since my router came with a battery backup.
But skip their TV service. It's overpriced and the picture quality is low compared to regular cable or (especially) an antenna.
Choose? You have more than one?
We have TWC. Try calling a couple of times on different days to negotiate a better deal. They will guarantee the rate for 12 months and then jack the rate up with no notification on the 13th month. Ours went up 125%. I called, complained and spoke to customer retention. They offered me pretty much the same program for the same rate for another 12 months. I only have another local co-op to choose from; which is double the rate for ½ the service, so we'll stick with TWC for another year. Only the rate is guaranteed for a year, we can leave at any time. We are also not capped on usage. Hope that helps.
My mom has U-verse and my only complaint is the Wireless Gateway, it's a piece of crap. The 1st one failed immediately and I had to take it to an UPS store to return it. The man said they ship back at least a dozen a week. U-verse does have a data cap. They sneak that in and don't tell you about it.
From AT&Ts fine print....
AT&T U-verse High Speed Internet:
Speeds may vary and are not guaranteed. Speed claim(s) represent maximum downstream capabilities. Many factors can affect actual speeds, including the use of other U-verse services. Service and speeds are not available in all areas. U-verse price includes 250 GB of data/mo.
I have Time Warner Road Runner and it has been awesome. I had some issues in the beginning but once they installed the big flex line cable, it's been smooth sailing. I also negotiate the price with them every year so I can't complain.
I have U-verse, and I'm happy with it. Much better than my previous cable provider.
That data cap won't be a problem for probably at least 95% of people. Only the heaviest downloaders will run into it. (At least for now, in a few years, I'm sure we'll all be using more bandwidth as HD streaming continues to expand. But I wouldn't worry about it for now.)
To be honest, both are going to be comparable. You will hear good and bad reviews of both. For me, my only choice was Time Warner Cable and most of the time it is OK. Keep in mind the speeds advertised you will never see (I pay for 30/5, but realistically only get 10-15/4). If going with TWC, try to cash in on the $150-200 gift card offers they have floating around. These may be local, but I see them advertised all over.
The good thing about AT&T and TWC is both are very large companies so are active on Twitter. I don't have U-verse, but do have cellphone service through them. I have found getting them to do something is much easier through Twitter.
Sorry I have no info on Uverse. My only option in Central FL for cable is Brighthouse (TWC by any other name). Can't use Dish - too much rain, storms, etc. Horrid reception, so I've heard. And believe. Did have cable w/Brighthouse, phone & internet connection w/Century Link, my local telco..
Switched to a package w/BH....includes internet - high speed, no data limit , cable (basic w/2 dvrs - no premium channels), land line including all long distance. I am more than pleased. Less than what I was paying for the 2 different companies. By far. Have had much better internet & telephone service.
Good luck to you in selecting what's best for your needs.
You'll be fine on 250GB. I use a good amount of bandwidth and watch netflix 8 hours worth of Netflix a week or more. I've only gone over 150GB once in the last 2 years. Never close to 250GB.
250GB is a lot more than you would think. My wife and I both worked from home, she a college professor, and me a software engineer. We would also do a lot of streaming - 4 or 5 movies a week (2.3GB an hour for HD per Netflix), and used Pandora a lot, and rarely went over 200GB.
Thanks for your input everybody! Sorry I haven't replied - I just got a chance at work today. I ended up going with U-Verse. The plan is $95 and I get a $200 GC as a promotion (which amounts to a little more $16.50 off every month if you think about it like that). The internet speed and cable package were much better than TWC, and hopefully I have no issues with the download limit... Which is the only thing I worry about if I am running at 18 Mbps as their plan advertises.

Who is "the one?" Alternately; Can there be more than one?
I find it funny when I see a deal or a question asked that has for example, 64 upvotes and just ONE lonely downvote. So in the face of seemingly overwhelming approval there's just the one voice in the wilderness saying "this sucks." It happens quite a bit and I wonder why/how this comes about.
Is there a single solitary silent ninja voter who hates on things everyone else loves? Are you out there? Show yourself! heeheehee ;o)
27 Answers answer
Face it. There's always one in every crowd. One who just feels the need to pee in everyone's bowl of Wheaties.
Not to mention, some of us have made some non-friends on Deals and get down votes no matter how fabulous our deal or comment. "Haters gonna hate, yo."
He or She is out there...........waiting.............index finger poised into the dragon stance, ready to strike.
Now throw in some drum beats, incense, and Bruce Lee pictures hanging on a wall lit by candles in a shrine...........you get the picture!
Also, did anybody else think about just downvoting the question and running just to be a Jack....!
Jet Li. And yes: Christopher Lambert.
But seriously, I think some people just enjoy hating on something to say that they can. It makes them feel special.
To answer the OP, I think there is more then 1 'the one'. When someone mentions why did this get downvoted? Then several downvotes are received. I have seen it is best letting the one vote go, and am quite surprised question did not get voted downvoted several times. My best guess is a well worded question kept it from being downvoted, or they are all on vacation together somewhere.
@caffeine_dude: It's still early...........
@107bear: When I was writing the question, I figured that would happen. I almost did it myself. ;o)
This is the best I have come up with
@caffeine_dude: Yeah, I know there kinda has to be more than one "the one" but I think it's so weird how often when there are sooooo many upvotes only ONE person - however many "ones" there might be out there - only one person downvotes.
@phillystyle: I'd like to think it's a newbie vote or an accident...........I have UV a deal or comment only to go back in my history and see that I must have double clicked and voted differently than I wanted to.
That or too many whiskeys while I'm searching for a deal.........
I would say that in the case of the one down vote, that is a person who wants to see themselves as unique. When the next person who wants to see themselves as unique comes along, there's already someone using that unique single down vote spot, so they keep cruising looking for the place where they can be the one down vote. It's sort of the opposite of Lemming Syndrome, where a few people vote, and then a tide of others seemingly just follow their lead.
It's like the scene in Monty Python's The Life of Brian:
Brian: You have to be different!
The Crowd: Yes, we are all different!
Small lonely voice: I'm not!
Because every rule has an exception (such an untrue statement), I give you +274 -0.
of course that will change as soon as "THE ONE" sees this post....."sigh".
I downvoted, just so none of you would worry about having to do so.
You are all welcome :)
Yes, there can be only one. It was the Kurgan. It think he got ripped off, he should have won.
@packman711: And so..."the one" is revealed! lol
based on the title, i thought this question was about love and romance.
Ditto =P
@okham: lol, I just figured out your movie references. I feel so dense that it took me to the end of the thread to figure out what you meant.
@lichme: HOW did you do that? Winnow down to a name, I mean? Get a gut feeling and then do a search or what? I am impressed!
@lavikinga: I have a feeling that @lichme will not be revealing this secret
@lavikinga: Based off of past comments that I viewed in some of those threads
@lavikinga: I stand corrected
@lichme: Ah, the ol' gut feeling. Yeah, I've done that before too.
@lichme: I've identified one of the ones, as well. I'm reluctant to post the name, but I'll just say I voted some of his stuff down for a while, then realized I was lowering myself to that level.
I usually use my down votes for political statements.
lol, wow... not where I thought this question was going to go. I was all ready to say, yes... I believe that there is "the one" in regards to love but there are multiple people to whom you could be married and be very content. BUT... I have no response in regards to your actual question except that I have never been "the one".
"The One" is Neo, "There is no spoon" :)
