Is there any regulation or law such that a Canadian citizen who travels to US to have and show a ticket at the border for returning back?
There is no regulation or law that makes it mandatory for a Canadian citizen (especially if you are entering under the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative) to have a return ticket when entering the United States. However, as with any other government, the United States (and by statutory extension, CBP officers) can deny any person entry for any reason, including and particularly if a person seems to intend on staying past their permitted length of stay.
For that reason, if you are entering the United States by any means, even if by car, you should be fully prepared to answer 1) how long you're staying, 2) where you're staying, 3) when and how you're leaving the US, and 4) why you're entering the US.
Just as a side note, you can read about someone who was denied entry for a similar reason, but note that this individual also screwed up his answers when he was questioned by CBP. (and he did eventually get into the US).

I have booked a A->B->C | C->B->A flight. What I want to do is to not fly the B->C segment. While skipping the final B->A would be totally fine (just walk out of the airport), I'm afraid that the airline might cancel my return flight if I skip the B->C. Should I worry about that or is this a non-issue? Also - is there any way to make it with checked luggage (for example letting them know when I check in at A that I will actually not fly all the way to C) or is that impossible?
Nearly every airline will cancel the remainder of your itinerary if you are a no-show to any flight on the itinerary. In your example, if you don't show up to the B->C flight, it is almost certain that the airline will cancel C->B->A. However, you could try to call the airline to explain your situation and need for skipping the B->C flight, and they could make an arrangement for you.
Regarding your checked luggage, you can request that it only be checked A->B and not onward to C. This is called a
You should be worried. While not necessarily doing so, airlines generally reserve the right to cancel the whole ticket if you're a "no-show" to a leg. You should call them and ask them re their policy, it varies between airlines.
Re the checked baggage, I believe that it couldn't be done, your baggage will be checked in to the full length of your flight (unless you need to actually take it out and re-check it in, like in an international flight connecting in the US for example). But again - you should ask the person checking you in, if they can do otherwise. I seriously doubt it.
I recently had a flight JFK->ZUR->CPT return. On the return flight I checked in my bag at CPT and told them to check it to ZUR instead of JFK. The airline rep was happy to do that for me, but the first baggage claim ticket printed out was for JFK. It took him a little longer than usual but he managed to get a ZUR baggage claim printed out for me.
I didn't board the last leg of the return flight ZUR->JFK, but since there was nothing after that for the airline to cancel, I didn't have a problem.
Different airlines may have different policies on missing a leg, but from my experience, every airline that I've contacted required changing the ticket to two one-way fares (which is substantially more expensive).

Let $f \colon X \to Y$ be a flat morphism of schemes over $\mathbb{C}$. Suppose that $Y$ is normal and that the fibers over the closed points of $Y$ are all normal.
Can I say something about the fibers over non-closed points?
Is it true that $X$ is normal?
In the local setting, a positive answer to 2 can be found in Matsumura "Commutative ring theory", Theorem 23.9 and its corollary. However, the normality of all the fibers is required.
I am interested, in particular, in the case where the fibers over the closed point are all isomorphic to $\mathbb{P}^1_{\mathbb{C}}$.

The festival's activities will officially kick off at the April 2 Square by Tran Phu Road in the beach resort city, with a fireworks display held later in the night. Earlier on the day, festive goers can amuse themselves with performances of Spanish flamenco and traditional Japanese dance Bon Odori.
With more than 60 activities focusing on culture, arts, sports, tourism, fairs and workshops, the festival's organisers said they hoped to introduce to people at home and abroad the natural beauty and culture of Nha Trang – Khanh Hoa as well as the friendliness and hospitality of the local people.
Speaking at a press conference in Ha Noi on Saturday, Khanh Hoa People's Committee deputy chairman and head of the festival organising board, Le Xuan Than stressed that all acitivites would be free of charge for both foreign and local visitors.
"We organised a variety of diversified activities to promote the beauty that nature bestows on the city. And one of our criteria is for sustainable tourism development to draw an increasing number of visitors to Nha Trang – Khanh Hoa and to keep them here for longer," said Than.
Over the past two years, the province has seen a significant increase in international visitors, particularly Russians.
According to Than, the first direct flight from Cam Ranh International Airport [the main airport serving Nha Trang area] to Russia's Moscow will take off this Friday and once every week and then twice a week as of September this year.
In 2012, the province's budget was at nearly VND10 trillion (US0 million). Than said despite economic difficulties the province targeted to increase the budget to more than VND10.5 trillion.
According to organisers, up to 20 activities will take place ahead of the festival to amuse visitors.
The national Rock and Hip-Hop Festival will be held from June 1-3. On June 2 everybody is encouraged to join in the campaign to clean up the city by collecting rubbish.
A range of sports activities including bicycle racing, handball, volleyball and sailing competitions, and a national golf tour along with other arts and culture activities and seminars such as discussions on the development of swallow breeding in Viet Nam will be during the festival.
Tours to discover Nha Trang's islands and night fishing expeditions will be held during the festival among events such as beer, wine and food festivals, a cooking competition, kite flying and bicycle and vintage motorbike parades.
For fans of beauty pageants, the finals of the inaugural Nha Trang – Khanh Hoa Sea Queen will take place on the night of June 9, while a street carnival will be held on June 10 before the festival wraps up the following night.
On the sidelines of the festival, the first ever International Sea Travel Expo 2013 will be organised from June 7-10, with the aim to promote and build the trademark of Vietnamese sea and island travel.
The expo seeks to promote regional tourism and co-operation in the sector while also helping to draw more foreign investment into tourism industry infrastructure
Thousands of people from all corners of the country flocked to the northern province of Hung Yen on March 21 to attend a festival commemorating Chu Dong Tu and Tien Dung, who have been honoured by generations for their immortal love.
The festival, which took place at Da Hoa temple, Binh Minh commune, Khoai Chau district, forms part of activities in the National Tourism Year of the Red River Delta- Hai Phong 2013.
The highlight of the event was an art performance with special songs and dances that depict the predestined meeting of the couple.
Legend has it that Chu Dong Tu, was born in Da Trach commune, Khoai Chau district, Hung Yen province. His parents died when he was very young. He lived by fishing and was so poor that didn't even have a loincloth.
One day, when he saw the royal barge passing by with Princess Tien Dung, the daughter of the third Hung King, on board, he got very scared and hid himself under the sand. Unexpectedly, the princess decided to erect a tent up on the shore so she could bathe. As the water trickled to the ground, it washed away some of the sand, exposing Chu Dong Tu in all his nakedness.
Tien Dung, who believed that the encounter was arranged by Heaven, fell in love with Chu Dong Tu and immediately wanted to marry him.
But Hung King opposed the marriage and intended to arrest Chu Dong Tu to punish him. Both Chu Dong Tu and Tien Dung had to hide with local people and to earn a living, they began a small business. After that, they met a Taoism hermit who taught them the superpower. When reaching the highest part of the path, they flew off to Heaven and were canonised.
As the legend goes, Saint Chu Dong Tu was in control of things all along and was present on earth to save mankind from its suffering and teaches people to do business, fish and weave to have a good life.
For his contributions, Chu Dong Tu has been dubbed as one of four immortals of Vietnamese folk belief, along with Tan Vien (the God of the Mountain), Saint Giong and other Goddess Lieu Hanh.
This is the biggest agricultural festival of the northern mountainous province and Viet Bac region (including six provinces of Bac Kan , Thai Nguyen, Tuyen Quang, Cao Bang, Lang Son, and Ha Giang).
Local ethnic groups offered trays of local specialities to gods to thank them for the crops and to ask for their blessings so local people can enjoy favourable weather conditions and have a comfortable and happy life in the New Year.
During the festival, cultural and sporting activities including stilt walking, shooting with a bow and arrows, and "con" (cloth ball) throwing are organised.
As Ba Be lake has just been recognised as a special national heritage, this year's two-day festival also includes tours on the lake.
On the same day, a similar festival also took place in Thai Nguyen province.
The ceremony involves solemn rituals to pray for good crops and good luck by Tay , Dao and San Chay ethnic minority groups.
A prestigious shaman is the first person to go off the field to conduct the Long Tong ritual while a good elderly farmer and a strong buffalo are chosen to make the first furrow for the new crop.

News Release (Back to Menu)
Law School and UMDNJ Partner to Improve Health and Well-Being of Newark Children and Families
The Clinical Program at Rutgers School of Law–Newark and the Outpatient Department of Pediatrics at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) have formed a medical-legal partnership to improve health outcomes for children with disabilities by addressing the non-medical causes of poor health that typically result from poverty.
The initiative, known as the HEAL (Health, Education, Advocacy & Law) Collaborative, fosters collaboration among professionals and students in medicine, law and social work through direct service provision to patients/clients, training and educational programs, and policy initiatives. Using a holistic, "preventive law" approach, the Collaborative initially will serve children with disabilities and their families, by identifying and remedying social problems before they become legal problems, and addressing legal needs in the areas of special education, early intervention and, to a lesser extent, public benefits.
|Professor Valverde
Jennifer Rosen Valverde, JD/MSW, Clinical Professor of Law in the Rutgers Special Education Clinic (SEC), will oversee the program along with Kendell Sprott, JD/MD, Interim Chairman of the Department of Pediatrics, New Jersey Medical School (NJMS), and Hanan Tanuos, MD, FAAP, Director of Primary Care, NJMS. With generous support from the Healthcare Foundation of New Jersey, the HEAL Collaborative has hired Stella Lyubarsky as a clinical law fellow who will staff the project full-time. Lyubarsky is a 2010 graduate of the law school and also holds a master's of social work from New York University. She previously was a MacArthur JIDAN Fellow working in the law school's Urban Legal Clinic and, before that, trained and supervised Rutgers law students volunteering in the Domestic Violence Unit at the Essex County Superior Court.
Clinical law and Master level social work students in the SEC working under Professor Valverde's supervision will staff the program as well. Over the last two years, law and social work students of the SEC and the Community Law Clinic, under the supervision of Clinical Professors Robert Holmes and John Kettle, have been involved in all aspects of program development for the HEAL Collaborative, including: drafting and negotiating a memorandum of understanding between the two institutions; researching professional ethics issues; creating and implementing an action plan; developing evaluation tools to measure program effectiveness; conducting a needs assessment to better understand the legal and social concerns of the patient population; and investigating and addressing trademark issues related to naming the program.
The medical-legal partnership (MLP) concept was introduced almost 20 years ago by Dr. Barry Zuckerman, Director of Pediatrics at the Boston Medical Center. More than 90 MLPs currently serve over 200 hospitals and health centers across the country, approximately 20 of which have a law school clinic as a partner.
Said Valverde: "We believe that this interdisciplinary collaboration will not only reduce the legal and social issues that adversely affect child and family health and well-being but also improve healthcare clients' and professionals' knowledge of available programs and services. While two other medical-legal partnerships operate in New Jersey, this program is unique in that it focuses specifically on children with disabilities and their families and on enhancing the educational experiences, professional development, knowledge and skills of those studying and working in the fields of law, medicine and social work through collaboration in a multi-disciplinary setting."
The Collaborative expects to begin serving Newark children and families in early 2013.

I watched a movie approx 5/6 years ago on TV and I don't remember its name and watched it only for 5 minutes. Now I want to watch it in full but do not know its name or any other detail.
I only remeber a scene where an adult(young) boy in a toilet talking to an evil insect-like creature (insect is in wash-basin) is standing against him. The insect is using abusive language and then it somehow kills an old man sitting on a pot. Then the adult boy's ear is staring to ejaculate fluid and then he forcibly tried to clear his ear and a long creepy snake like dead thing come out of his ear.
One more thing this insect like thing have some supernatural power and it is long thick insect like a small snake structure but too fatty.
It is like some kind of horror flick and its looks like some recent movie of that time. Can anybody recognize it?

How can I replace PulseAudio with Jack? I want to start jackd on startup either during boot or during logon instead of PulseAudio.
You can add it to your start-up applications but maybe that's not very good idea as not all audio applications support jack. To make things easier there exist programs for managing and starting jack, and I think that is recommended way to use it. At least untill you get familiar with jack, and don't need assistance
So instead just launching it on start-up you could install
You don't need to replace pulseaudio. You can configure pulseaudio to redirect everything to jack. With his method, all applications which use pulse continue to work. At least this is what works for me on 12.10: Running PulseAudio on top of JACK
In section 'Redirecting PulseAudio to JACK'
After installing the necessary pulseaudio module
I performed the following changes to the files in /etc/pulse:
Hope this helps

The Titanic Gravy Boat brings one of the most famous maritime tragedies of all time to your dinner table. This ceramic representation of the Titanic is 9" x 4-3/4" and holds 16 fl. oz. of gravy which can be poured through the hole in the hull.
Also, it can be used to stage a historical reenactment if your relatives start talking politics. As soon as someone starts quoting radio show hosts, you just use mashed potatoes as the iceberg and peas as the life boats.

6 People Who Turned a Life of Crime Into Legitimate Careers
#3. Michael Franzese: from Mobster to Motivational Speaker
Micheal Franzese was a capo for the Colombo crime family. He joined while in his teens and climbed the ranks mostly through gasoline racketeering. Franzese also was involved in other more "legitimate" ventures like film production and running a sports agency, but the gas racket was his best gig--he is said to have been the single most profitable gangster since Al Capone.
He even made it to number 18 in Fortune's "50 Most Wealthy Mob Bosses," which is number three on Cracked's list of "10 Things We Can't Believe Fortune Made a List Out Of."
Number one being "The Top 10 Crayons Vin Diesel Lost in his Bedroom."
He was arrested for his gas racket in 1986, and three years later he testified against his father, John "Sonny" Franzese, officially leaving the mafia.
How Did He Turn it Around?
Franzese did the obvious for a man in his position: He wrote an autobiography. He also was asked to speak to many Christian congregations and young athletes about the dangers of gambling, presumably sprinkling his talks with nuggets of wisdom like "you will probably lose" and "guys like me will have your kneecaps cracked with a pipe wrench."
He also became a motivational speaker and founded the Breaking Out Foundation to keep young people from screwing up their lives with gambling, and wrote a book comparing the business world to organized crime called, sigh, I'll Make You An Offer You Can't Refuse.
#2. Fraudster Uses Fraud Experience to Fight Fraud
In 1983, at the age of 16, Barry Minkow started a carpet cleaning and restoration business called ZZZZ Best. However, he couldn't finance it properly because California law at the time forbade minors from opening checking accounts, and the only kinds of businesses that deal exclusively in cash usually involve bullets, heroin and prostitutes.
Do not try the Asian salad.
So he did the next best thing to getting a real checking account: He stole his grandma's jewelry and staged break-ins at his business to generate funds, and used check kiting to cover his credit card expenses. He also pulled tricks like borrowing letterhead from other companies to give the appearance of authenticity. In 1986, ZZZZ Best went public, and within a year its stock was worth $18 a share and Minkow had netted a cool $100 million, a mansion, a Ferrari Testarossa and balls so huge light could not escape their massive gravitational pull.
He went so far as to bribe a security guard at a recently built office complex to show a group of auditors just how incredibly great his restoration crew was, claiming that the building had been in terrible shape until it was restored by his people.
People started getting wise to the fact that the incredibly profitable insurance restoration part of Minkow's business was utter crap, and began digging around. When all was said and done, he earned himself 25 years in prison on 54 charges ranging from racketeering to money laundering and several types of fraud.
How Did He Turn it Around?
Despite getting his ass handed to him by the law, Minkow served just under seven and half of his 25 years, earned three degrees in Ministry (appropriately majoring in Apologetics), and started FDI, a company that specializes in exposing corporate fraud and claims to have "experience on both sides of the law concerning financial fraud," which feels a lot like having Jeffery Dahmer ride along with some paramedics for advice on human anatomy.
"No no, stick the IV into his eyeball. It works better that way."
Barry and FDI have tackled some big cases, preventing over $1 billion in fraud since their inception. In 2008, FDI revealed that the CFO of the company Herbalife had falsified the education portion of his resume in order to get the job. He quit the company in disgrace, leading to a sudden decline in the value of its stock. Luckily, Minkow sold his substantial share of Herbalife stock just before the fraud was uncovered.
#1. Kevin Mitnick and the Booming Hacker Economy
He was at one time the most famous and most wanted computer criminal on planet Earth. Kevin Mitnick hacked into systems owned by Motorola, Nokia, Sun Microsystems, NEC and even the L.A. bus system (to score free rides). And that's just the stuff we know about. He's thought to have also cracked the FBI, the Pentagon, MCI, Novell, the University of Southern California, the California DMV and many more.
And presumably did a lot of rollerblading.
When you step on that many toes, you are going to eventually get caught. Mitnick was taken down in 1995 and spent the next five years in jail, with an additional provision that he not be allowed to touch any technology more advanced than a landline telephone for several years after he was released (which he successfully got overturned in court).
How Did He Turn it Around?
Just as Minkow convinced the business world that it takes a con artist to catch con artists, Mitnick has made lucrative business off the idea that it takes a hacker to stop hackers. He now runs Mitnick Security, for which Mitnick does consultations for corporate networks and goes on speaking engagements around the world.
We would like to point out that in the long run crime does not in fact pay for most people. Unfortunately, that apparently goes out the window if you're really good at hacking. Recently, a 21-year-old who created the first-ever iPhone worm was punished by getting a lucrative job writing iPhone apps. A famous Chinese hacker named Li Jun got nailed with a five-year prison sentence for creating a devastating computer worm, then got a freaking six-figure job offer while he was still in jail.
The company making the offer? Jushu Technology, one of the victims of the worm. On one hand we can see how it makes sense to get destructive hackers on your team rather than have them roaming free and planning mayhem. On the other, it doesn't seem like a good long-term strategy to send the message to millions of computer literate teenagers that they'll get rich if they'll just get lots and lots of practice hacking first.

WHEELING - Those looking for a large amount of office space in the heart of downtown Wheeling have a new option - the former RG Steel building is on sale for $900,000.
The 1905 building, once the Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel headquarters, is listed by Jay Goodman with Harvey Goodman Realtors. The structure, located at 1134 Market St., offers 144,000 square feet of space and has 13 floors. The real estate company describes the listing as a bankruptcy sale. The sale includes the furniture.
Goodman said since he got the listing in late December, he has received two serious inquiries: a Columbus-based company interested in renting it out as office space and a Detroit-based firm interested in using it for low- to moderate-income housing. He said another Pittsburgh company also has expressed interest in using the building for office space.
The realtor's online photos of the structure's interior show meeting rooms still appointed with furniture and an expansive view of the downtown and beyond from one of the building's highest floors. Goodman said the building is in "great shape" and listed at a low price - $6 per square foot.
"I've enjoyed having the listing so far. It's like walking through a museum, seeing the history of Wheeling-Pitt," he said, noting the top-floor boardroom includes framed photos of the steelmaking process. "Hopefully, it will be occupied again and be a part of the (downtown) revitalization. It would be great to have another RG-type operation, but I don't know if that's possible."
RG filed for bankruptcy May 31. Esmark Inc. partnered with TCC Steel of South Korea to purchase RG's Yorkville plant for $4.7 million last year. Esmark once owned the former Wheeling-Pittsburgh assets until it sold them to OAO Severstal in 2008. Another RG asset, the Martins Ferry plant, was purchased for $2 million by Quay Mull, a Wheeling businessman, and lawyer Joseph Gompers. The Mingo Junction plant was purchased for $20 million by Frontier Industrial. And the Steubenville plant was purchased by Wheeling-based Herman Strauss Inc. recycling, which paid $4.3 million for the property and $10.7 million for the scrap and machinery at the site.

Whenever I palm mute some notes, it always sounds really soft and weak -- almost like a "blump" kind of sound. I've been wanting to get the metal and shorter palm mutes (like this). Even if I use more distortion or change the drive, it almost always stays the same. What exactly is the problem?
In addition to Raymond's comments, you could try:
well there are a lot of things that can make your mutes sound harder, i think first off using a pick with a nice pointed tip helps, round edged tips tend to slide across or brush over the string also where you place the palm of your hand, either towards or away from the bridge makes a huge difference, the further you get from the brigde, the tighter it'll sound using a good noise gate helps to eliminate any ringing in between chugs too lastly, i think if you want to get a beefier mute, for instance instead of playing the low E on its own, play an E power chord and it'll sound fuller
i hope this helps!
Well, I think you should play the chords with more strength.
The secret of palm mutting its the way and strenght that you play with your right hand.
Try that.
Use the pickups closest to the neck and make sure your hand is as close to the bridge as can be without ruining the sound.
I found changing pickups not only makes it sound heavier, but bigger too.

Odin Sphere - 10-13-2008, 04:36 PM
Perhaps one of the most underappreciated games I've ever seen. It's a lot of fun, has beautiful artwork and character animation, and a good story line. I especially recomend it if you like love stories, since that's what most of the story arcs focus on until you get to Velvet's book since she's more concerned with changing her fate. They even have a princess character fall in love with a frog prince (my favorite at the current moment I think).
The game is a side-scroller like those in the old days, and it does a good job with it. There's a deffinate lag in one of the boss battles, but most of the time you don't have to worry about that.
There are five main characters, and you play through each one's story to get to the next. After their stories are all finished, there are two or three other books that become available with have the epilogue chapters. I haven't gotten that far yet, but I have a basic idea of what happens (accidently found spoilers). It's interesting because you get to see the same events from multiple points of view.

To earn referrer credits, go to the Advanced → Referral Status screen to find an affiliate URL. This is a URL you can put on your website, blog, or give to friends. When people click on it and then sign up, your account will automatically be used as the referrer account.
You can also download this FastMail banner for use with your affiliate URL.
The credit we give you depends on the plan the new user signs up for:
We don't currently pay a credit for Lite accounts, or any Family or Business accounts. This may change in the future, and if it does, we will make sure any existing referred signups will be noted and paid accordingly.
Referrer credit payments are made at the end of each month, so don't expect credits to appear immediately after someone signs up.
If a user upgrades later, you'll earn the difference in credit for their upgrade. For instance, if someone you refer signs up as a Full, then at the end of the month you'll get $3.00; if a few months later they upgrade to Enhanced, you'll earn another $3.00 (i.e. the difference between the Full and Enhanced referrer payments).
You can see how many users you have referred at each level on the the Advanced → Referral Status screen. Due to privacy reasons, we can only show the number of users at each level; we can't tell you their account names.
If you've earned over $50 of referrer credits, we're happy to transfer the credits as cash to your PayPal account.

QUOTE (spiri7ussancti @ Jun 8 2011, 12:08 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
FIRST OF ALL. ur stupid, me and my friends have a name for kids like you we meet in pub games. We call them "new age gamer"
Woa. Wait a second.
I think I might have a quote a little more ironic than this.
"Brevity is the soul of wit"
Let me get this straight. You and a group of friends *holding back laughter here* actually get together, go on Modern Warfare 2 and point out people who are trying a game, no sorry trying to drain the fun out of a terrible situation (game), and actually have the balls to harass them and call them a "new age gamer"? Well, I mean since you're the one defending a new age game that's totally appropriate.

I have a site with 60 subdomains. I was wondering if there was a way to index each of the subdomans seperately but quickly.
Subdomains are considered part of the main website so as far as Google is concerned there is nothing special about them. As far as getting your content indexed by Google quickly, you don't have any real control over that either. Google decides how fast it will crawl and index new content. Sites that are updated frequently and have a lot of high quality links pointing to them will see their pages indexed quickly. This site expereiences such things. Sites like yours that are new and lacking high quality links and may not be updating frequenetly, will see that it takes longer for Google to crawl and index their content.
So the best you can do is keep adding quality content to your site and seek high quality links to your pages.
Submitting a sitemap for each subdomain will help Google find and index your pages. However, you do need separate sitemaps for each subdomain, since the sitemap protocol spec says that each sitemap file may only contain URLs from one site.
If you don't feel like submitting 60 sitemaps manually, the following method should work:
Of course, you also need to remember to keep the sitemaps up to date as you add new pages to your sites.

Virginia Bluebells (Mertensia virginica) 100 Bleecker Street DOT strip
The flowers of Virginia Bluebells, in the words of William Cullina, author of Wildflowers, "are the same ethereal blue as a cloudless spring day." You won't have too long to enjoy these woodland plants as they go dormant in the warm months in preparation for the next spring.
A Manhattan native, Mertensia virginica is the best selection of the genus for garden use as it has the largest flowers and easiest care requirements. This plant likes a shaded, moist location, but even in this very warm and dry spring we're having, it has thrived as a nice accent paired with daffodils in the DOT strips on Bleecker Street.

I have a few Mr Beer extract kits left over from when I started this hobby. Can I ferment a 3 gallon recipe in a 5 gallon bucket? Will there be too much head space?
You should be fine using a 5 gallon bucket, especially during primary fermentation. The CO2 produced should push out all the excess oxygen. In secondary, you might have a problem, but probably not unless you're leaving the beer in secondary for months.
Why only a 3 gallon recipe though? Go for broke with 5! :)
Agreed - I do 3 gallon batches in 5 or 6 gallon carboys all the time.
As PJ notes, the only trick is going into secondary, since you have so much more room for oxygen in there. If you can't put a blanket of CO2 into your fermenter to help keep the oxygen away from your wort, then at least make sure you're careful on transfer. Don't splash it too much, because then you will be oxygenating your wort, as well.
I almost always do 3 gallon batches, so cheers! Don't give into pressure to do enormous batches!
This is a great trick for those without a co2 system. attach a small tube over your airlock so any escaping gas has to go through it. put the other end in the fermenter. an active batch of beer produces enough co2 to purge most of the air out of the secondary.
a second thing I do, is transfer a bit early. I wait for signs of fermentation to diminish and the yeast to flocculate but transfer before the airlock stops bubbling. There is enough dissolved co2 in the young beer that it will bubble slowly for a while after primary fermentation has subsided. while transferrring a lot of this co2 will come out of solution and help purge the secondary of air.

John F. Kennedy, Jr. (1960-1999)
John F. Kennedy, Jr., was born a few weeks after his father, John F. Kennedy, was elected president in 1960. He was the first infant to live in the White House since Ester Cleveland was born in 1893. John never sought a life in politics, becoming a publisher and philanthropist instead. As a boy, his nickname was "John-John." He died tragically in a plane crash in 1999.
Fun Fact: John-John's code name from the secret service was Lark.
Next: Amy Carter (1967-)

The MOL Group executive, who delivered a keynote address at the AspenTech users group conference, said he would not be surprised if 30% of Europe's refineries were shuttered due to financial woes.
By Billy Thinnes
Technical Editor
BOSTON -- Dr. Bela Kelemen was one of Tuesday's keynote
speakers during AspenTechs Optimize users
group. He is a senior vice president for the Hungarian
company MOL Group. Dr. Kelemen is a dynamic and articulate
speaker, and his remarks were well received in the convention
hall. He noted that the energy world is now diverging into
three distinct regionsNorth America, Europe and Asia.
Somewhat humorously, Dr. Kelemen labeled America as a returning
rock star, Europe as a retiring pensioner and
Asia as a hungry youngster.
Dr. Kelemen would not be surprised if 30% of Europes refineries were
shuttered due to financial woes. Meanwhile, he noted that
Asias impressive economic growth over the last ten years
shows no signs of abating. To demonstrate Europes problems, he used his
own company as an example. He said that before the market crash
of 2008, MOL Group was producing $10 to $12 of profit per
barrel at its refineries, but then that plummeted to around $4
post-crash. Still, he retains optimism about the future. He
believes that the magic trinity of business is technology, process and people,
overlaid by the knowledge that the most important thing is
always the voice of the customer.
Refiners face a litany of challenges in the realm of
scheduling and distribution, Dr. Kelemen said, so it therefore
quite important to place events in the right sequence. For
this, he said that a feasibility test is crucial. The constant
drama in the refining business is measuring what
is optimal vs. what is feasible. Interruptions, unexpected
events and opportunities are a day-by-day occurrence, and the
refiner that copes well with such challenges will the refiner
that is still in business in the future.
Knowledge is the right combination of information and
experience, he said.
To that effect, Dr. Kelemen extolled the virtues of
AspenTechs Academy, a corporate advisory group of
university professors. In particular, he referenced a supply
chain management class that emphasizes how theory and practice
go hand in hand. Lessons learned from the academy and other
business virtues could be summed up best from a Charles Darwin
quote that Dr. Kelemen spotlighted:
It is not the strongest of the species that survives,
nor the most intelligent. It is the one that is the most
adaptable to change.
MOL Group has worked with AspenTech for over 25 years and
looks forward to many more years of such a positive and
productive relationship, Dr. Kelemen said.
Other keynote speakers featured at the Optimize
users group in Boston included John Kearney, technical director
at Wood Group, Dr. George Stephanopoulos, professor of chemical
engineering at MIT and Manolis Kotzabasakis, executive vice
president at AspenTech.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

IS there any quantum analogy where a three state (or three body) system shows chaotic dynamics as three body problem in classical mechanics?
Quantum chaos is in some sense generic behavior. This article gives two real-world examples from atomic and solid-state physics that are essentially equivalent to the hydrogen atom but with some modification made to the potential. E.g., one of them is that you get chaotic behavior in high-$n$ states in the hydrogen atom, in a strong magnetic field. These two examples can both be considered to be two-body systems. I assume you're asking about three-body systems because for Newtonian gravity, the two-body system doesn't exhibit chaos. I don't know for sure, but I assume that, e.g., a nearly-ionized hekium atom in a strong magnetic field would exhibit the same chaotic behavior as in the case of hydrogen.

Bennington College
Office of Communications
One College Drive
Bennington, VT 05201-6003
It is with great sadness that the Bennington community notes the passing of jazz composer, trumpeter, and longtime faculty member Bill Dixon, who died June 16, 2010, at his home in North Bennington. He was 84.
Dixon, considered one of jazz's most accomplished and pivotal figures, began teaching at Bennington in 1968. A member of the faculty until 1995, he first came to the College to teach collaboratively with avant-garde dancer and choreographer Judith Dunn. In 1973, he founded and became chair of Bennington's Black Music Division, mentoring such musicians as alto saxophonist Marco Eneidi and drummer Jackson Krall. Throughout his life, Dixon was noted for his commitment to both jazz and music, in general. In 1964, he produced the famous "October Revolution in Jazz," which brought together more than 40 groups—including such notables as John Coltrane and Ornette Coleman—for a four-day series of concerts. Out of this event, Dixon founded the collective known as the Jazz Composers Guild in 1965. He was also active in promoting jazz in non-musical arenas. Working as a civil servant at the United Nations headquarters from 1956 to 1961, he created the United Nations Jazz Society, a listening and discussion group for the organization's diplomatic corps and staff. His collaborations with musicians are well known, particularly those with pianist Cecil Taylor and saxophonist Archie Shepp, which resulted in some of his most noted work. Dixon's latest CD, Tapestries for Small Orchestra, was released in 2009, and a collection of his work from 1970 to 1976 is still available on the Cadence label.
Dixon is survived by his longtime partner, Sharon Vogel, and two children.

When is it useful to use a captcha? When is it an unnecessary hindrance? Is a captcha just a quick fix for the lazy/unexperienced programmer, or are they really the best way to prevent spam and bots?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
ReCAPTCHA seems to be pretty secure, and will probably outlast any other OCR based CAPTCHA solution. CAPTCHAs are useful when you aren't sure if it's a bot or a human - ie, after the second or third login attempt, or if you allow anonymous commenting. Once a user has authenticated, dump the CAPTCHA.
An alternative that hasn't come up yet is the "SAPTCHA".
I just love how people just readily accept the "conventional wisdom" about CATPCHAs. As a professional Web developer with ten years of experience and with some expertise in accessibility, it's my opinion that under no circumstance should you implement CAPTCHAs. I'm referring to the kinds that have lines, cursive fonts, 3d effects, etc. First of all, they prevent large numbers of users from accessing content, including a lot of older people, or people with every day vision impairments (such as color blindness), or people for which English is not their first language. Secondly, citing "security" is not a good enough reason. This is because for 99.5% of the spam out there, having someone re-type a five-letter word is sufficient "security." These mythical "robots" that people often refer to are not really that sophisticated. And even then, for those that are sophisticated (again, which is a very small number), a typical CAPTCHAs is not going to be sufficient anyway. So, given that all the negative far outweighs any real benefit, which is mostly imagined anyway, there's no good reason to use them. If you want to prevent SPAM, all you need is to have people re-type a word like "blog" (and it's OK if they can copy-and-paste). This is totally accessible and, trust me, is sufficient enough "security." You'll be surprised to find that all your spam is eliminated and you didn't even have to cut off large segments of users.
copied from other answer by same user
I agreed with this post up to a certain point: "In my experience, even if you have the best captcha in the world, there are a lot of spammers who are nowadays employing real humans for very low wages to simple visit the site, signup (or whatever) and post their spam 'manually'.
So any system that requires you to differentiate between "human" and "bot" is not going to work when faced with an actual human. Whatever system you come up with is not going to be fool-proof and you're going to need to manually verify anonymous (or "near anonymous" - that is, new signup) content."
Then the posted started suggesting some complicated Javascript. Again, as I stated above, just prompting the user to re-type something (I should add randomly selected text is ideal) is just as effective as showing an obscure image of something that you need to decipher. The deciphering aspect is an unnecessary layer, in my opinion. Again, that's just my opinion, but this has been completely effective for me.
I should also add the CAPTCHAs cannot be used on government websites because they violate Section 508 rules.
In my experience, even if you have the best captcha in the world, there are a lot of spammers who are nowadays employing real humans for very low wages to simple visit the site, signup (or whatever) and post their spam 'manually'.
So any system that requires you to differentiate between "human" and "bot" is not going to work when faced with an actual human. Whatever system you come up with is not going to be fool-proof and you're going to need to manually verify anonymous (or "near anonymous" - that is, new signup) content.
Using honeypot fields is/was a method to reduce spam at no real usability cost.
Here's an article describing how it works with some CSS magic, and while they noted that its effectiveness diminished, it'll still catch some bots. There are probably also more advanced techniques besides CSS (read: JS) that can boost the effectiveness of honeypots.
There are other way to prevent spam and bots, but captcha's work the best. Sometimes asking a simple question on a form like "2+10=" or "Are you human?" works fine as a captcha, for a while at least.
I use reCaptcha because it cuts 90% of the spam out with 5% effort.
I haven't had people complain that the captcha is hard, makes things more difficult, or has any decreased usability either.
Spammers and bots are abundant. It's very easy to scrape a form and start submitting bad requests en masse. It is a simple, secure, proven way to significantly reduce spam and bots. It's not a quick fix for the lazy or inexperienced, rather experience has led to this solution and it is now easy to implement.
Do I like captchas? Hell no. Squiggly lines, what does it mean, opps I entered it wrong. It is effective though.
Also I would accept that reducing the amount of spam you receive is necessary, before going and implementing whatever counter-measure, let's think would you ?
Those 3 ideas should greatly reduce the number of people exposed to those counter-measure, and the number of times they are subjected to them too.
On top of that, they are other counter-measures than captchas, like asking for an e-mail address, sending a message, and waiting for a response with a particular text as subject (randomly generated) before actually posting (with a one hour timeout before trashing the comment, say).
In my experience captchas are the best way to prevent spam, no matter how well the form is programmed there will always be a spam bot better than your app.

I have two ways to display an InfoWindow with the attributes of a graphic. The first is using a IdentifyTask to return the graphic and the other gets the selectedItem of a Datagrid (rovGrid) and using the findGraphicByAttribute code to return the graphic.
However, the format of the Date field is different in the returned graphic. The IdentifyTask graphic attribute shows "2/10/2005" and the Datagrid graphic attribute shows "1107993600000". Why are the two methods showing different date formats for the same feature?
Here's the partial code for each method
identifyTask.execute(identifyParams, new AsyncResponder(onResult, onFault, clickGraphic));
function onResult(results:Array, clickGraphic:Graphic = null):void
if (results && results.length > 0)
var result:IdentifyResult = results[0];
var resultGraphic:Graphic = result.feature;
//Datagrid click
private function rovGrid_Click():void { var obj:Object = rovGrid.selectedItem;
if (obj != null)
var graphic:Graphic = findGraphicByAttribute(obj, layerROVGraphics);

Say I have a continuous function $f$ defined on a compact interval $I$ on the real line. As is well-known, I could approximate $f$ arbitrarily well by polynomials.
Given $R>0$, how well can we approximate $f$ as a linear combination of functions of the form $x^r$, where $r$ lies in $\lbrack 0,R\rbrack$? If $f$ is analytic, can we express $f$ as an integral $\int_0^R x^r d\mu(r)$?

The Last Act
Posted 07 March 2003 - 03:23 PM
By the way, I have a few other questions about the plot of La Bayadere, such as:
What actually happens during Solor's visit to the Kingdom of the Shades? Is it just dancing, with no plot at all? This seems a little unlikely, given that other Petipa dream sequences at least have some connection to the action besides "Solor smokes opium and has a vision."
Why exactly does the Rajah want Solor to marry Gamzatti so badly? Can he just not find anyone else in the right caste? Or perhaps because Solor and Nikiya are from different castes, they can't publicly declare their love?
Posted 07 March 2003 - 04:44 PM
Hope this bit helps.
Posted 08 March 2003 - 01:28 AM
Still according to the original Petipa notes, the Rajah wants Solor to marry Gamzatti because he was designed as her fiance when they were children, so he has the obligation to marry her.
About Solor and Nikiya, Nikiya is destined to the temple since she is a child and her duty is to it, she can't leave it or marry so Solor promises her to come and fetch her in a few days and escape, but then he has to marry Gamzatti, and he tries to escape from it by saying he needs a bit of time, but the Rajah answers he can't refuse and has to accept the marriage now.
Posted 08 March 2003 - 08:34 AM
By the way, I thought the final tableau was of Nikiya leading Solor up to heaven, and that the temple was destroyed just before the marriage took place...perhaps Makarova just changed that around a bit in her production. However, that's interesting--that Solor and Nikiya are not together in the end after all.

I am coming to this (and other Bayadere) threads very late, but the music and the dancing have only recently come to fascinate me.
indeed, manhattnik! i thought of her as driven by that-which-must-be-done, like a wili who regardless of what her feelings would have been when alive, has to dance men to death.
There have been several analogies made between Giselle and Nikaya along class lines. What I have not yet seen is the notion that Nikaya, as a temple dancer, is holy to the gods, maybe even equal to the Rajah's caste in a parallel religious caste structure. She is clearly the principal temple dancer, after all. In which case, the gods' vengeance makes a kind of sense whether or not she broke a vow of chastity.
Posted 02 April 2012 - 07:47 AM
final price for his actions. He dreams of the Kingdom of Shades in a drug invoked state, that Nikiya has forgiven him, does he awake from his dream, or is the destruction of the temple a premanition of what is to come?
Posted 02 April 2012 - 02:04 PM
it's perhaps useful to remember that the opium-induced dream was a latter addition to the action of LA BAYADERE.
for the end of Act 3, sc. 4, entitled The Appearance of the Shade in Solor's room in the rajah's palace, the original 1877 libretto includes no opium; instead, it concludes as Solor falls unconscious on the divan. A dream comes over him and he falls asleep, never ceasing to think about the shade [of Nikiya who has appeared in his room].
The next scene, no. 5, The Kingdom of the Shades concludes with text that says: If you do not betray me,' Nikya continues, 'your spirit shall find rest here, in this kingdom of the shades.
Scene 6 is entitled Solor's awakening. - these libretto translations are taken from Roland John Wiley's A CENTURY OF RUSSIAN BALLET.

You'll find powder-coated surfaces are far more resistant to chipping, scratches, fading, and wear than other finishes, and the color selection is virtually unlimited, with high and low gloss, metallic, and clear finishes available. And thanks to the UV resistance of many of the powders, colors stay bright and vibrant longer. Texture selections range from smooth surfaces to a wrinkled or matte finish, plus rough textures designed for hiding surface imperfections.
One 8-oz. bottle of powder covers the same area as 2-3 cans of spray paint, and clean-up is easy, since you can simply sweep-up the oversprayed powder. Contains no environmentally harmful solvents. HotCoat Powder Coating System requires a 5-10psi compressed air source and dedicated electric oven (or toaster oven).

(Q) Can I use my household oven?
(A) No, you cannot use an oven that will be used to cook/bake food.
(Q) How long do I bake/cure the part?
(A) 20 minutes at 400 degreesF.
(Q) What are the electrical requirements?
(A) This HotCoat Gun requires 110-125VAC, 2 amps at 50-60 Hz. Can be used with a voltage transformer such as 220-240VAC to 110-125VAC as long as the transformer can handle 2 amps.
Use a disposable dust mask when handling or applying powder. Powder, like common flour, can be explosive when suspended in the air in high concentrations. To minimize any explosion risk, sweep up—do not vacuum—powder from the floor. Cure powder in a well-ventilated area. The urethane powders we sell liberate a very minute amount of isocyanates when the powder flows out. This usually occurs about 3-5 minutes after the part is placed in the oven to bake. Wear a respirator with fresh filter cartridges when curing or inspecting flow-out progress.

STEUBENVILLE - Scott Campbell has been a believer and supporter of Eastern Gateway Community College since he graduated from its predecessor, Jefferson Community College, in 1980.
Flash forward 32 years and Campbell, now a co-owner of the M&M True Value Hardware store on Sunset Boulevard and president of the Eastern Gateway Community College Foundation, wants to establish a scholarship fund for future local students who are attending the school.
"Approximately five years from now EGCC will be 50 years old. So I thought it would be appropriate for the foundation to establish 50 $5,000 scholarships for students. The idea is for a business, organization or individual to donate $1,100 a year to the scholarship fund for five years. If you donate that amount for five years you can then name the scholarship which will be financially stable for future years," explained Campbell.

He said $1,000 of the annual donation will go toward the perpetual scholarship fund, while $100 will be used for scholarships in 2013.
"Tom Birney and I agreed to kick off this scholarship campaign in two ways. First, we just gave Rich Ranallo, the volunteer interim director of the foundation, our first contribution. Second, we are selling M&M Hardware commemorative cups for $10 each. All proceeds from the sale of the cups will go to the foundation. And the first cup has a photo of the M&M store when it was located downtown. It is kind of neat because you can see the wooden floors, wooden shelves and the wooden ladders. It is a piece of Steubenville history preserved on the cup," said Campbell.
"We took one of the original photos to Mark Nelson of Nelson's Fine Arts and Gifts and to tell you the truth we weren't really sure how it would turn out. But this really produced well and is the first in a series of M&M commemorative cups we will sell every year at the store, all to benefit the EGCC Foundation. We may continue the different cups up to the modern store here on Sunset Boulevard," noted Campbell.
"Through the nearly 100 years M&M Hardware has been operating the owners and employees have tried to be a vital part of the community. And, Tom and I, along with our staff, continue that tradition and strive to be part of the community. We strongly believe in higher education," Campbell stated.
"We usually have anywhere from three to eight EGCC students working at the store. We offer them a flex schedule so they can attend their classes and still work here. I graduated from Jefferson Community College in 1980 with a two-year degree in business management. And I know how important a higher education is. This scholarship fund will benefit the kids of the community who may need a little help in order to attend EGCC. This is a chance to give back to the community for a long time into the future," commented Campbell.
"This is a great way to kick-off our campaign to establish a long-term scholarship fund. M&M Hardware is the first contributor and I hope its generosity proves to be an inspiration to other businesses and individuals," said Ranallo
"The great thing about EGCC is that it is an institution that provides the traditional educational programs. But the college also adapts to the needs of the community by providing electrical lineman courses as well as training courses in the fairly new shale industry jobs. EGCC is instrumental in developing courses and programs for today's students and planning for tomorrow's students. EGCC is always trying to step up to the plate to meet the needs of its students and the community," added Ranallo.
"And the EGCC is working very hard to keep educational opportunities affordable and available for our area youth and adults, said Campbell.

Quickly and easily access your tools with this tool box liner bag from Touratech. This liner bag features tough Cordura construction and an exact fit for our Pannier Rack Tool Box.
Be prepared with our Motorcycle tube-type tire puncture repair kit.
These heavy duty tie-down straps are perfect for securing your motorcycle on trailers, trucks, or ferry crossings.
A great emergency tool to keep on your bike, and a perfect fuel solution for a trip with just one section too far for your fuel range. This emergency fuel bag folds flat and takes up virtually no space in your panniers.
For those of us who don't want to carry around a bulky tool kit, but are still looking for the essential tools for their motorcycle trip, the CruzTools SPEEDKIT offers great capability in an ultra-compact pouch.
The Changing Mat is a lightweight folding mat that will keep your wheel out of the dirt when changing a flat. The pocket it packs into becomes a temporary storage place to keep all the small parts, like your axle nut, valve stem or tools when doing a tire change. It will keep your socks clean when changing out of your riding gear. It serves as a door mat when getting in and out of your tent. Use it for a food prep station when you don't have a picnic Mat. Only your imagination will limit the many ways you can use The Changing Mat.
This great combination tire lever and 27mm axle nut wrench fits the rear axle nut of many different off-road motorcycles, and will help save you space and weight in your motorcycle travel tool kit.
Each of these four threaded steel canisters contains 16 grams of 100% pure high velocity CO2 gas. In just a few seconds 8-9 lbs. of inflation is discharged into your tire. The re-usable valve adapter has solid brass fittings.
We've all been there; a dead battery on your adventure touring motorcycle and no possible way to bump-start. It's a good idea to carry a set of lightweight motorcycle jumper cables for these situations.
BMW motorcycles are legendary for innovation, and their choice of fasteners are no exception. Torx fasteners are common, and even male Torx bolt heads (E8) are found. Gathering all of these special tools together can be a chore. In the past, a BMW motorcycle came with a great tool kit, but those days are no longer.
We've got you covered with the Cruz Tools RoadTech M3 kit. It's essentially an EconoKIT M1 and MiniSet MSM1 combined into a handy roll-up pouch. As with any of the Cruz Tools kits, the tools are top-grade and lifetime guaranteed.
Hex adapter for internal 19mm and 22mm axles. This tool fits into the 22mm hole on the BMW R1200GS front axle, allowing use of a 19mm wrench or adjustable wrench. It fits in a similar way on BOTH front and rear axles of the F800GS and F650Twin and any axle with 19 or 22mm inner hex socket. Allows use of normal tools to hold the axle.
Accurate tire pressure gauge. The perfect gauge for motorcycle wheels. Holds the pressure, so you can bring it out to read the face. For example checking the rear tire pressure of a motorcycle with panniers can be very difficult to see the gauge.
The kit includes three 16 gram threaded CO2 cartridges with a sticker wrap.
Electric tire inflator for motorcycles (also bicycle and truck tires.)
This helper tool from Touratech makes tire changes much easier in the garage, or on the trail. By holding the bead of the tire away from the motorcycle rim, these Tire Helpers give you more room and an "extra hand" during those tricky tire changes.
Pair of super-strong steel tire levers. Made of spring-steel, you can't bend them. Tapered ends of the tire irons let you wiggle the levers out when it's tight. Small lip stays close to the rim, reducing the chance of pinching the tube. There is a REASON that MICHELIN style has been the best design!
For Oilcap 044-0214 on bikes that BMW did not include this tool in the toolkit. We cut it short to be easier to carry and to serve as a reminder NOT to tighten the oilplug more than fingertight.
The TirePro Digital Tire Gauge is ideal for motorcycle and ATV use, with a large display and accuracy over a wide range of pressure levels. Readings are shown to 0.1 psi levels, with bar, Kpa, and Kg-cm2 scales also provided. Reads up to 99 psi. An ergonomic shape fits nicely in your hand. This may well become your favorite tire gauge!
This 24mm size fits the rear axles of F650GS single, F800GS, KLR650 (through 2007), XR 250/400/600/650L and both front and rear of KLX/DRZ400.
You'll be in serious trouble if you need to depend on the kit that came with your bike. Not only is tool grade grossly inadequate, but content is also seriously lacking. We can fix that with the potent M1, which contains our exclusive PowerDrive wrenches and loads of other high-quality tools and roadside items, packed in a durable double-panel polyester pouch.
What do you get when you combine a precision 48-tooth ratchet with extension and eight-piece socket set? The MiniSet, that's what! Containing the most common metric sizes - including hex and Phillips bits - the MiniSet is not only highly capable, but also likely to be highly prized, too. Tools are top-grade polished chrome, and stored in a durable molded box.

I'm have permission level with perms for list "Add List Items" and "View Items" but then i'm try add new file with Windows explorer i get Access Denied error. And if set "Edit item" in permission level it work fine but i can edit files. How can i make only add permission without edit ?
migrated from stackoverflow.com May 6 '12 at 13:14
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
IMHO this will not be possible by using only custom permissions.
I can think of few possible workarounds but they all requires some 'coding':
Option 1 You can build custom Event receiver with sole purpose to disable item editing. It is very simple code but still it is code (you need to deploy it properly so you need Visual Studio and basic knowledge of SP solution developing)
Using Event Receivers in SharePoint Foundation 2010
Only downside is that edit form will be available but saving changes will be disabled (not a very user friendly approach).
Option 2 You can have temporary library and custom workflow developed by SharePoint Designer. After you upload document to temp library workflow will move it to another library with proper permissions.
Approval Workflow - Moving document to a read only document library
Option 3... You can always build custom workflow in VS or you can even use Event receiver to handle document move by code.
You can create a custom permission level
I was having a similar problem. I have ticked the 'View Application Pages' box as part of the bespoke permission level. This allows users to see the upload form which seems to have done the trick.

I've been known to brag about "Good Kids" for the past ten years, but this time I'm heading in the other direction with a few thoughts about "Rude Kids" after a chat with some grownups who reported these cases to me.
A woman asked me if I had seen New England Patriots star player Chad Ochocinco's post on his Facebook page this week. #85 is upset that his daughter was suspended from school for a day. A teacher asked why Chad's daughter was late to class. She replied, "what do you care? You're still getting paid anyway." Suspension. Chad thought she should have gotten detention.
Can you imagine what our mom or dad would have done to us if we said that to one of our teachers?
And Ochocinco thought the suspension was too much. He is way in the stratosphere on Facebook with more than 58,000 friends and 17,000 comments about this incident.
The woman who cut my hair this week (that's at Great Clips, btw.. a viewer called to ask where I get my hair cut..) told me a little boy was offered a sucker after his haircut there last week. He pointed to the lollipop and ordered his parents to give him "that one." He pointed, and pointed until he got his sucker. I think the dad was the sucker. He told the woman, "oh, we always have him point to what he wants so we can hand it to him."
Oh, I am SO not down with that. Pointing and demanding is trouble on a stick, and in this case it had a lollipop attached to it. That will only turn into bigger problems later on, don't you think?
Hey, talk to me about these two kids.. and share some of your thoughts on parenting polite children!

Consumer Data Research and Census Enumeration25 Feb 2016 Alex Singleton Talk cdrc Tweet this!
Talk at ONS, Tichfield 25/2/16
Talk at ONS, Tichfield 25/2/16
Keynote given at Regional Studies Early Career Conference, Sheffield 29/10/15
Keynote given at ESRI European Education Conference, 13/10/15; Saltzburg, Austria
The above talk has no sound; vimeo rather than speakdeck was used as there are a few embedded videos.
I committed to testing this a long time ago, however, a number of other projects intervened, so I have only just got around to writing up this short tutorial. One of the exciting things from the ESRI Developers Conference this year was the launch of the R-ArcGIS bridge. In simple terms, this enables you to run R scripts from within ArcGIS and share data between the software. In fact, this is all explained in a nice interview here.
I won't go into detail about the R script itself, and the code can be found on github. If I am honest, this is pretty rough, and was written to demonstrate what could be done - that said, it should be usable (I hope… but don't complain if it isn't!). ESRI have also provided a nice example which can be found here, and was the basis of my code.
Before you can link ArcGIS Pro to R, you need to install and load the 'arcgisbinding' package, which is unfortunately not on CRAN. There are instructions about how to do this here using a Python toolbox; however, I preferred a more manual approach.
Open up R and run the following commands which installs the various packages used by the toolbox. You might also need to install the Rtools utilities as you will be compiling on Windows (available here). Although the TwitteR and httr packages are available on CRAN, for some reason I have been having issues with the latest versions failing to authenticate with Twitter; as such, links to some older versions are provided.
#Install the arcgisbinding package
install.packages("https://4326.us/R/bin/windows/contrib/3.2/arcgisbinding_188.8.131.52.zip", repos=NULL, method="libcurl")
#Install older versions of the TwitteR and httr packages
install.packages("https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/twitteR/twitteR_1.1.8.tar.gz", repos=NULL, method="libcurl")
install.packages("https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/httr/httr_0.6.0.tar.gz", repos=NULL, method="libcurl")
#Load the arcgisbinding package and check license
Before you can use the Twitter Search Tool in ArcGIS Pro, you first need to register an app with Twitter, which gives you a series of codes that are required to access their API.
I created an R script that: 1. Authenticates a session with Twitter 2. Performs a search query for a user specified term within a proximity (10 miles) of a given lat / lon location 3. Outputs the results as a Shapefile in a folder specified
The inputs to the script include the various access codes, a location, a search term and an output file location. These variables are all fed into the script based on Toolbox inputs. Getting the inputs is relatively simple - they appear in the order that they are added to the Toolbox, and are acquired via
in_params[[x]] where
x is the order number; thus
search_term = in_params[[1]] pulls a search term into a new R object called "search_term". The basic structure of a script are as follows (code snippet provided by ESRI):
tool_exec <- function(in_params, out_params) {
# the first input parameter, as a character vector
input.dataset <- in_params[[1]]
# alternatively, can access by the parameter name:
input.dataset <- in_params$input_dataset
# ... do analysis steps
out_params[[1]] <- results.dataset
For more details about the functions available in arcgisbinding, see the documentation located here
The Twitter Search Tool was run within ArcGIS Pro and requires you to add a new toolbox. The toolbox should be downloaded along with the R script and placed in a folder somewhere on your hard drive. The files can be found on github here.
The following screenshot is of the Shapefile shown on an OpenStreetMap basemap; with the attribute table also shown - you will see that the full Tweet details are displayed as attributes associated with each point.
Anyway, I hope this is of use and can assist people getting started linking R to ArcGIS.

To the editor:
The Greenwell brothers, Bob and Buster, and the Greenwell Packing Plant touched the lives of virtually everyone living in or around Tonganoxie. Bob, in particular, left a lasting impression on me and my family.
One act of kindness afforded me by Bob is especially remembered. I don't remember all the details but I remember how Bob responded to my request for help. I was working for the Santa Fe Railroad and my wife, Connie, was a stay-at-home mom. We were raising 11 children.
It must have been 20 years ago. We were living from paycheck to paycheck. When you work for the railroad paychecks came at two-week intervals. We had no money in savings. No emergency fund. And then we had an emergency. I don't even remember what it was but we needed cash and we needed it quickly. I couldn't wait for payday and although I had some livestock, a market ready steer in particular, I couldn't wait for the livestock auction which was days away.
I called Greenwell's. I told Bob about our situation. We need money and we needed it today. I offered my market ready steer to Bob for the amount of cash that we needed. Bob said that the steer was worth more than what I was asking and I replied, yes, I know it is Bob but we need the cash now. Can you help us? Bob said yes. Bring the steer in and I'll have the money for you. We were greatly relieved, indebted and extremely thankful for Bob's help but that isn't the end of the story.
It must have been a week or two later that Bob and I crossed paths again. He came up to me and handed me $100. in cash. He reminded me that the steer was worth more than what I was asking. I knew it was and I told Bob that I was just grateful for his help. He insisted that I keep the money. "You need it more than I do." That memory has been with me these many years. It told me something about Bob. He was a man of great character. A man who cared about others. A man who was respected by everyone who knew him. Thank you Lord for giving us Bob Greenwell. His memory will be with us forever.

Leading By Example: Government Policies
Every day, Minneapolis provides services that help protect our waterways and the environment. Some, like street sweeping, which keeps leaves and debris from clogging our storm drains and polluting our lakes and rivers, we have been doing for decades. Others, like solar panels on the roofs of city buildings, are examples of the City walking its talk and taking responsibility for the impact of its own operations, just as we encourage our businesses and citizens to do. Still other services include working with the community to assist and encourage the growing number of leaders who are taking initiative in their own homes, schools, businesses, places of worship, and neighborhoods.
Green Policies
The City of Minneapolis is continuing to move towards more sustainable practices daily by creating and adopting new policies that work to improve the life of residents and city employees, as well as advance overall environmental quality.
Environmental Purchasing Policy
Low Environmental Impact Cleaning Policy
Minneapolis Pollinator Resolution
Green Fleets Policy (pdf)

Voice Actor Anyone?
Hi all, I have been downloading mods for various pc games (total war series, freelancer and of course Grand Theft Auto to name but a few) for over 10 years, I have dabbled in a bit of scripting with most of my games, but, guys who ACTUALLY write script would probably disagree!
I just thought of a way I can give something back to the modding community after *shamefully* hardly ever even rating most of the mods I have made use of over the years.
I have been told that I do good accents and voices after some experience of stage acting and script writing and would like to offer my services to anyone interested...?
I am a 34 year old English man from London and can do...
Script Writing and editing, give me the details of missions / interactions or synopsis and see what I can come up winth...
from UK ; 'Elderly distinguished gentleman' through 'Newsreader' to 'cocky cockney boy'
other regions ; Scotland, northern and southern Ireland, Devon, Birmingham, Yorkshire and Liverpool.)
From Europe ; French, German, Dutch and Italian accent only, I don't speak the languages.
I can do a better american accent than Jason Statham even though I have never been there!
From the U.S.A ; a southern Texas style a northern New York style and an Action Movie Announcer - Exploding Onto A Game Modification Near You!
I can also do a good impression of Jacob
I am living in South Africa now and have added a 'South African Surfer Dude' and South African Farmer "or Boer" to my repartee
Voice Styles ; From Animated like Brucie's coke-head Life coach Troy, to dead-pan like Late Kate's Alcoholic Uncle Murphey from Belfast, including Johnny's friend Leo the biker assasin and Francesco Santiago (aka. St. Francesco) Gay Tony's European lover Who is Desparate to get to San Andreas!
