The VCC will host the seventh annual Columbia International Investment Conference on "Reframing the Investor-State Relationship: From Criticism to Constructive Engagement," on November 14-15, 2012. The aim of this year's conference is to host a forward-looking discussion towards policies for a mutually beneficial legal framework governing the investor-state relationship. The conference will start with a debate and discussion about the current state of investor-state relations and why finding a mutually beneficial framework has been such a challenge. Subsequent panels will delve more deeply into the fundamental tension between the predictability that investors require to make long-term investments and the flexibility that host governments require to address issues of public interest and public policy; options for mitigating and managing disputes among the diverse stakeholders that can more efficiently and fairly protect the rights of all stakeholders; and relevant policies for governments, investors and other stakeholders to maximize the outcomes of the investor-state relationship for sustainable development. Registration is free but required. The program and registration information is available here.

Daytona Beach Inmate, 70, Dies After Suicide Attempt
Published: Monday, November 25, 2013 at 9:09 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 25, 2013 at 1:40 p.m.
DAYTONA BEACH | A 70-year-old sex crime suspect died two days after a suicide attempt at the Volusia County Jail.
The Daytona Beach News-Journal (http://bit.ly/1jAEnxa ) reported Sunday that Dennis Dellechiaie died Nov. 16 following a cardiac arrest.
Two days earlier, a corrections officer gave the inmate his cell assignment shortly before 6 p.m. and, according to reports, he walked up the stairs, set a bag of belongings on the ground beside his cell and jumped over the railing.
Jail officials issued a Code White, which warns of a suicide attempt.
The inmate was secured on a stretcher and taken to a Daytona Beach hospital.
The newspaper reports that the officer said the inmate didn't "say or do anything that would make (the officer) believe that (Dellechiaie) wanted to harm himself in any way.
Sheriff's investigators a month earlier about a lewd/lascivious molestation charge. At that time he told them he was suicidal and would hurt himself if he had the chance, according to a Volusia County sheriff's report. Dellechiaie, according to the report, admitted to rubbing his hand across a 13-year-old's chest and fondling an 18-year-old man's genitals.
He was the second inmate to die after a suicide attempt this month. Officials said William Styffe died Nov. 9, about seven weeks after his attempt to kill himself in his cell.

In Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, when Indy is going through the cave to get to the grail, he goes through several different obstacles. Either my memory is wrong or he was muttering to himself about different "clues" on how to get through. What were these "clues" and where did they come from?
The three challenges were:
Indy used his father's Grail Diary to guide him through the traps:

Office of the University Registrar Home > Degree Evaluation > Degree Evaluation FAQs
Does a Degree Evaluation affect my transcript or graduation?
No, it does not directly affect your transcript which is still your official academic record from SLU. However, your transcript and graduation eligibility should be influenced by what you and your advisor see in a Degree Evaluation. Use a Degree Evaluation to help plan which courses to take and to spot any errors in your academic records. A Degree Evaluation will help you know when you are ready for graduation, but your department and dean's office approve all candidates for graduation. Talk with your advisor or dean's office if you have any questions.
What if I think a course I've taken should fill a requirement and it does not within Degree Evaluation?
If the course you think should complete a requirement is not the one normally used, your individual record may need to be modified - substituting your course for the one normally used. Notations may have been made in your paper record but not yet transferred to your electronic record. See your Dean's Office if the course is in the core and your department/advisor if it is in your major. If your course is the normal one taken for the requirement, there may be an error within a Degree Evaluation. Letting the Office of the University Registrar know about the problem will save other students confusion.
Why doesn't the course that I transferred meet the requirement I was told it would meet?
Transfer courses can be confusing to a Degree Evaluation, but problems are usually easily solved when brought to the attention of the right person: Dean's Office for a core course, advisor/department for your major.
Why do the requirements in a Degree Evaluation look different from the sheet my advisor shows me?
The information in a Degree Evaluation is based on the check-sheets used by advisors. Sometimes, the format is different due to the limitations of the program. Your requirements are based on your catalog year of record (usually determined by the date you entered Saint Louis University). If that catalog year is incorrect, you may see requirements meant for a different catalog. This problem is easily corrected in your Dean's Office.
Why aren't all of my academic programs appearing in a Degree Evaluation?
The web version of a Degree Evaluation can only show one degree at a time with up to two majors and two minors. See your Dean's Office if you think you have a major or minor which should appear but does not.
Why is the grade point average in a Degree Evaluation different from the one on my transcript?
You may have college credit through SLU's 1818 program and your high school. On your transcript, these courses will appear as credits earned, but they will not count in your grade point average. However, a Degree Evaluation cannot make that distinction. It counts both the credits and the grades from 1818 courses. The gpa on your transcript is correct and official. If you do not have credits from 1818 and your gpa is different in a Degree Evaluation, contact the Office of the University Registrar.
How does a Degree Evaluation handle repeated courses? What about Special Topics course?
Degree Evaluations count the most recent of any repeated course. Special Topics courses are differentiated by their section numbers. Since a Degree Evaluation does not read section numbers, it may not read a Special Topics course correctly. If this happens, see your department for a major course or your Dean's Office for a core course.

The 6 Most Baffling Superheroes from Around the World
#3. Super Shamou
There are plenty of Superman clones around the world, but few are as curious as Super Shamou. The first Inuit superhero, Shamou receives his powers not from another planet or genetic mutation, but from a shaman's amulet of caribou teeth.
How'd you think Santa's sleigh flies?
In 1987, creator Barney Pattunguyak oversaw the production of a Super Shamou program for the Inuit Broadcasting Corporation. The show featured Shamou patrolling Canada's Northwest Territories, saving uncoordinated children from falling off of boats and cliffs.
"Stop falling off of things, damnit."
The only footage we could find of Super Shamou's exploits was from the old comedy clip show Maximum Exposure, so just pretend that we wrote all the jokes (and that they're all bowel-burstingly hilarious).
Sadly, his exploits lasted only three episodes and one comic book. Why? The Northwest Territories have a population of around 43,000--we're pretty sure Super Shamou simply ran out of clumsy kids to rescue.
#2. Eat-Man
In 1996, Akihito Yoshitomi and his Japanese pals all sat down and decided that they wanted to create a new badass manga hero--so badass, that his power didn't make any goddamn sense. Thus, Eat-Man was born.
What were his powers? Well, Eat-Man--also known as Bolt Crank--could eat virtually anything that he could shove into his mouth and regurgitate back as a useful object, usually through his arm. Here's the standard trajectory of an Eat-Man episode:
#1. Eat-Man consumes something lethally inedible (in this case, gunpowder).
#2. One of Eat-Man's appendages becomes a ludicrous weapon.
#3. The monster soils itself out of sheer befuddlement.
#4. Eat-Man blows his enemy away. Our hero silently hoping that no one notices that his power is a magical form of bulimia.
The series suggests that Eat-Man came into existence before humans, citing a prophecy of a "man that eats anything" who will be mankind's savior. Hey, any messiah who can eat more than a dozen loaded firearms without reaching for the Beano is cool with us.
#1. Zsazsa Zaturnnah
In our Justice League of Crazy, Super Shamou is Superman, Eat-Man is Green Lantern with an eating disorder, so Zsazsa Zaturnnah must be Wonder Woman, right? Well, this Filipino Amazon has a certain something in common with Aquaman, and that thing is a penis. Whaaa?
Somewhere, a very confused soul is wanking off to this.
OK, so it's a little more complex than that. Zsazsa doesn't have a John Thomas--Ada, her homosexual male alter ego, does. Double whaaa?
We'll just shut up and let the highly informative trailer for Zsazsa's 2006 movie do the talking:
Triple whaaa?
For those of you who can't speak Tagalog/aren't completely insane by now, we'll clarify. Our story begins when Ada, a small town beautician, discovers a stereotypically pink meteorite.
Ada then does what any normal person would do when faced with a large, potentially toxic space rock: Hork the whole thing down in one gulp.
What is this? Eat-Man?
After devouring the cosmic mineral for no good reason, Ada screams the magic word "Zaturnnah!" and transforms into ZsaZsa, supermanwoman extraordinaire! Before you scoff at the total weirdness of Zsazsa's gender-bending escapades, know that the comic is extremely popular in the Philippines and has even been adapted into an award-winning musical. A superhero musical! Who'd be crazy enough to do that?
Fuck, Bono.

Types of Weddings
Quaker Weddings
Quaker weddings are warm, personal, and intimate. No clergy preside at Quaker weddings because Quakers believe that the divine spirit is present in all of us, and that we all are ministers, in a sense.
Guests enter the meeting house and sit wherever they feel comfortable. When all are seated, one person will stand and explain what to expect during the service. There will then be a period of silence, perhaps lasting several minutes. When they are ready, the bride and groom stand and exchange their vows. They then sit down, and another period of silence ensues.
During this period of silence, those present may rise and give their blessings to the couple. When the blessings are finished, the same person who spoke at the beginning of the meeting will "break" the meeting by rising and shaking the hand of someone nearby.
After the wedding, those present are invited to sign the marriage certificate. You need not be a Quaker to sign the certificate.
The reception following the wedding will be considerably less elaborate than the usual wedding reception. Probably, it will also be more personal and homey.
Military Weddings
A groom who is a member of the armed forces may opt to be married in uniform. When the groom is in full dress uniform, it automatically makes the wedding formal; thus the bride wears a long dress.
Usually, the groom's attendants are largely in uniform, although some of the ushers may wear civilian dress. Men in uniform do not wear boutonnieres. They do wear military decorations.
At the end of the ceremony, the ushers form the traditional arch of steel under which the bride and groom walk as they leave the ceremony. The saber or sword, as it is called in the navy, is only worn by commissioned officers on active duty.
If the venue permits, the arch may be formed immediately after the bride and groom turn to face the assembled guests inside the building. In this case the head usher calls, "center face," and the ushers form two lines facing each other on the steps beneath the altar. The next command is "draw swords" or "arch sabers," and the ushers raise their swords, cutting edge facing up. The bride and groom pass under the arch.
The ushers then join the bridesmaids and leave with them. However, the ushers may walk down the aisle with the bridesmaids and then leave through a side entrance to reassemble outside the building to form another arch. Others members in the wedding party wait just inside the building until the second arch is formed. Civilian ushers can choose to stand beside the military men forming the arch or not.
Same-Sex Weddings and Commitment Ceremonies
Gay couples who celebrate their commitment to each other often send formal invitations and invest as much energy into their ceremony as straight couples. They deserve to be honored as any other couple.
Often the couple dress alike for the ceremony—men might wear matching dark suits and women dress the same color family and perhaps, styles, carrying bouquets.
Guests who do not believe in the sanctity of these unions should not attend and participate—to the degree to which they're comfortable—out of friendship. After all, a commitment is a commitment. Your friendship with the couple should be more important in this case than any disapproval you might harbor. Each of us has curried others' disapproval at one time or another; and we should be big enough to overlook disagreement to honor someone's lifetime commitment to love and respect.
Gift cards and letters of congratulations should wish for a long, happy, and abundant life with each other, and not use the terminology "as husband and wife."
Formal invitations to a commitment ceremony would list the two hosts in alphabetical order, on two separate lines.

Are there any halachic problems with a Jew being a professional boxer?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Aside from the fact that most prize fights are on Friday or Saturday night (often before Shabbos is out), I'm not sure there is a problem. Chabad apparently doesn't think so as they have heavily promoted one of their own, welterweight fighter Dmitriy Salita (35-1-1), since he became frum and turned pro 12 years ago. (He's fighting former champion Hector Camacho Jr. in April in Brooklyn in a Showtime televised event.)
Another fighter, former WBA light middleweight champ Yuri Foreman (29-2), is reportedly learning for smicha at the Iyyun Institute yeshiva in Brooklyn (under Rabbi Dov Ber Pinson) while he trains. I think that Rabbi Pinson is also Chabad (although I'm not sure).
However, there is a general prohibition -- subject to exceptions -- to inflict a wound on someone or one's self, and even if one did not inflict a wound, to hit someone in a hostile manner is a Torah prohibition. Rambam, Hilchot Chovel U'Mazik 5:1.
Citing this Rambam, Rav Moshe Feinstein held that the mitzva "V'Ahavta L'Reyacha Kamocha" (Love your neighbor as yourself) would allow you to wound someone with his consent and for his benefit. Iggrot Moshe, Choshen Mishpat 2:66. Citing Bava Kama 91(b) (walking through thorns with uncovered legs to preserve clothing); Sanhedrin 89 (interpreting I Kings 20:35-36) and Sanhedrin 84b (permitted to perform blood-letting on father), Rav Moshe held that a girl could undergo plastic surgery because it would have a beneficial effect. Accordingly, one could arguably cite this psak as a basis to permit prize-fighting since the two fighters consent to be injured so they can make money, although that would still leave open the question of whether the risk of permanent injury warranted the gain of any amount of money.

Of course there are plenty of reason to be irritate in home or office environment. I just want to control this.
How do you manage this situation?
Of course there are plenty of reason to be irritate in home or office environment. I just want to control this.
How do you manage this situation?
Meditate and think on this... Why get angry if you can do something about what is making you angry? If you can do something about it, then do it! Also... why get angry about something you can do nothing about? If you cannot control the outcome / event, what is the point in getting angry about it?
Do some looking in to buddhism for additional thoughts on this topic.
Some things that may help:
Your Milage May Vary but these are some ideas to try.
Emotional Intelligence would be a suggested study area around this as there are a few pieces to this. How aware are you of your current emotions? How well do you predict future events that may change this state? This would be a starting point aside from the managing side where it may be useful to consider what memories may change your emotional state, what activities improve your mood, etc.
I tend to use Cognitive Behavior Therapy as a way to deal with my thought processes and try to improve them over time. "Change or Die" also has ideas on how to deal with the world that indirectly tie to anger as one of the underlying issues that people manage in unhealthy ways at times. Finding someone that can instill hope can be a useful tool to have in the toolbox for dealing with some of this.
Being angry can be very useful. In any case it clearly shows that something is wrong. The problem with anger is that it motivates us to behaviours that are rarely optimal at home or in the office environment. Still it's useful again that it also gives motivation to do something when something is wrong, we should use this source of energy wisely.
Anger usually looks for self-justification - in other words when we are angry we tend to make the mistake that we only consider the facts that support out anger and neglect the facts that would tell us to change our minds. So the ways of actions that come to our minds while we are angry are often wrong choices.
I believe what we need to do when we are angry is to realise that we are angry; and to understand why we are angry. Honestly explaining someone or putting down on paper for ourselves why exactly we are angry can help a lot understanding ourselves. Speaking from our subjective point of view ('my expectation is that he' instead of 'he should') may help seeing clearly. These may already reduce our anger.
When we calm down to the level that we can think clearly we can find good solutions. It helps if we team up with others to work out a good solution and to realise them. By good solution I personally mean a solution that is spiritually uplifting for all parties, you may use your own definition of good here.
It's often best no to take much action and not to speak much when we are angry, but to prepare ourselves to give the right answer if a similar situation occurs in the future. This way we spend the energy given by our anger to work out a solution and improve ourselves.
While I believe it is good to be prepared for future irritations, I believe it's not good practice to nurture our anger after we decided how to act next time, because nurturing anger for a longer period can have detrimental effects on us.
Controlling anger is a learning process, it's not easy. (This is only my current understanding of anger and I hope to see more clearly in the future.) But you can think about every irritation as an opportunity to improve yourself.
The best advice I've been given that works for me is to be a cloud. Anything projected at you just passes right through you allowing you to remain unaffected until you choose to respond or take action.
This is a good tactic when dealing with angry customers or a frustrated boss or colleague. Your ability to let their wrath, pettiness or unjust remarks go right through you will hopefully leave you (and them) calmer to actually deal with the issue instead of the emotions associated with it. Best of luck!
Whenever you feel irritated or angry:

Do any of you have any good examples from two or more games that share some of the same game logic, but are of entirely different genres? Could very well be one of your own games. Take Warcraft 3 and World of Warcraft for instance. Entirely different games, but they could have some game logic in common without us knowing.
Game logic re-use can be a wonderful thing! Here's where and how we've used much of ours from project to project. About 75% of our 2004 title exists throughout the games we've created in the subsequent six years, even though they are all quite different:
Here are a few places where we've re-used modules:
Pluses: Over these titles, we've learned the following positive things:
Minuses: And the following negative things:
Still, I think our inclination to re-use has kept us in business thus far, and would recommend the practice. Hope that helps!
The easiest examples of this are two games that use the same engine, or one game that is a "mod" of another game (which is just a special case of "same game engine" really).
And yes, of course you can do that. One of the Warcraft mods took away the concept of destroying the opponent and essentially created what is now known as the "Tower Defense" genre, which is a bit different from the Realtime Strategy genre. Portal and Half-Life 2 share their game engine in common; I'm not sure exactly what genre to call Portal, maybe a physics-based puzzle game, but I'd be hesitant to call it a pure first-person shooter.
If you want to get technical, all games using, say, Game Maker are built using the same tools, and therefore share some of the same objects and behaviors. Or even games using C++ that are all using if statements, for loops and pointers, whether they be RPGs or FPSs or retro-arcade games. So it all depends on how loosely you define things.
From the question title, I'm guessing that what you're REALLY looking for here is a general list of "game programming" tasks that are used in a variety of games, beyond just "normal" programming -- in other words, what functionality should be common to every "game engine"? And yes, there are a few things: random number generation; displaying sprites (for 2d games) or polygons (for 3d games) to the screen; ability to accept and respond to player input in real-time; collision detection; pathfinding; playing sound effects and background music.
I believe this deals with logic like "making the player jump". I've heard that question from inexperienced developers a couple times. What you're looking for is more algorithmic in nature. For example, the code to make an actor jump in a game could be uniformly used in any engine and any game that supports jumping characters.
It needs: - a velocity vector for the actor - a force modifying the velocity (jump) - changing actor position based on velocity every frame - reducing velocity every frame based on gravity - certain minima and maxima, like min/max speed
This works in a 2D Jump 'n Run, a 3rd person action-adventure or a 1st person shooter in any engine. Only the parameters (force, gravity, coordinate system) change.
But sharing this kind of code across games of different genres is unlikely simply because developers:

Best men's cologne on the market. I have used this fragrance for 30 years,,it's timeless. My son who is 12 years old loves it also. To describe the fragrance is difficult, it's sweet,but spicey with soft tones that say your a man. Definitely made for a real man. Once again if you need a cologne for a real man this cologne is for you.

Seattle Times published a list of New Year's Eve activities in the area, from the expensive to the reasonable, and I was happy to see the following:
New Year's Eve
at the Swedish Cultural Center
Pea soup and meatball dinner, dancing, entertainment, champagne and Swedish pancake breakfast, 8 p.m., Swedish Cultural Center, 1920 Dexter Ave. N., Seattle; $45, 21-and-over (206-283-1090 or swedishculturalcenter.org).
I love that they have all bases covered: dinner and breakfast!
Posted 31 December 2009 - 06:37 PM
So, where ever you are I would want to wish you a very happy NEW YEAR Much happiness, good health, of course and a lot of lively and alert posters and friendly comments and I DO LOVE YOU ALL
Good heavens, what was that, Helene? Pea soup? OMG, sounds weird. We dined and had lobster (here I am a bit ashamed, but it is only once a year, it was Canadian lobster, sorry about that). And champagne of course - otherwise it would not be New Year. Sweet was home made though, apples from the orchard, no pesticides, I am absolutely adamant there -likewise Christmas tree (I have a plantation and sell ecological ones), people who buy get some bugs for free, but the trees smell wonderful when you put them indoors. This year I charged 10 dollars a tree, customer has to saw his own. Fun is had by everybody

I hope that that each of us -- all the dancers, choreographers, production artists, musicians, managers, teachers, students, and audiences of world ballet -- has a wonderful 2010, full of happiness, affection, growth. (With lots of great performances, of course!. )

(Time was, I also peered at the Moon and bright planets and other heavenly attractions through a small telescope, bart! May I suggest you look again at the Moon when it's less bright and dazzling, more of a crescent, and the sunlight there is at a more grazing angle? See how you like that!)
BT means a lot to me too, because I've never had too many kindred spirits, friends who share my interests. That makes me feel sometimes like I live in the wrong place, even though I think there is a BTer with the charming screen name treefrog who lives here. I may never see many of you face-to-face, but you are frequently present in my thoughts, and (thanks to Alexandra, who started this!) you make a good place to exercise my desire to try to contribute to something good and most of all to learn about ballet and even sometimes about writing. (Am I the only one who comes back to look for further comments, re-reads their post, and thinks, "OMG, did I write that?") And there are a few of you who I have met (including Alexandra!) and that's been another nice surprise.

What I remember the most when I was a kid was some neighbors grabbing a bucket filled of water and throwing it to the street from the front porche. This way you were supposed to "clean" the newly paved way of the upcoming year, so it would run smooth. My grany did it too.

Thanks for telling!
We (two DDs and husband) had a small party with some young friends and walzed to the blue-danube-walz at midnight.
(my family here is Austrian -so that is tradition!)
Wishing all of you a really good, healthy and happy new year! I am so glad to be able to come here to find people who have similar interests. Thank you.

What a coincidence. At the party last night, the hostess provided guests with descriptions of several New Years Eve traditions from around the world, which guests could participate in or not. Somehow I missed this when it was being handed out and explained. One of these traditions was the same SUITCASE ritual. Empty suitcases were provided. The sight of people wandering around carrying was a bit surreal, since I had not a clue about what was going on.
After the 12:00 toast, EVERYONE got out of the house to do this interesting traditional practice, that I have forgotten about. People, including the little members, take suitcases and go around the block and back to the house, while singing and congratulating everybody on the way. This is a way to ask for lots of traveling in the new year.
One tradition (Swiss) involved spilling cream on the floor to assure good fortune. I walked through the kitchen, saw a large puddle of spattered cream in the center of the floor, assumed it had been an accident, and cleaned it up with paper towels. I hope this did not cancel out the good fortune which everyone was hoping for.
Another option we were offered was Japanese: going to a designated space -- in this case, a room in the small garden house (labelled "Abusive Language Room") -- and railing aloud at the people, places, situations, etc., that had frustrated or angered us in the past year. This is a technique, apparently, for letting go of negative feelings. There is a special mountain in Japan used for this. Large numbers of people climb it while shouting out their resentments. I don't know how successful this was, but plenty of people seemed to be heading for the special room.
At midnight, we were offered skewers holding 12 white grapes. We popped one grape into the mouth at each stroke leading to midnight. This is Spanish and is a tradition I'd actually taken part in before.

Given three series $A_n \leq B_n \leq C_n$, I should prove that $B_n$ is convergent if the series of the partial sums of $A_n$ and $C_n$ are convergent.
That need not to be true. Take an increasing sequence $A_n$ that converges to $-1$ and a decreasing sequence $C_n$ that converges to $1$. Then take $B_n = (-1)^n$. Clearly the relation you state holds, but $\lim B_n$ does not exist. What I think you're looking for is the so called squeeze theorem:
Let $a_n < b_n < c_n$ for all $n \in \Bbb N$. Then if $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} a_n = \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} c_n=\mu \in \Bbb R$ we also have $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} b_n = \mu $.
Have you tried using squeeze theorem here. It is quite useful in calculating limits of functions. See it might work for series as well because you are using the concept of convergence of the series of partial sum of $A_n$ and $C_n$.
To prove this, the hypothesis must be strengthened very slightly. We will assume not only that the partial sums are bounded, but also that the partial sums of $A_n$ and $C_n$ approach a limit, which we will denote $\sum A_n$ and $\sum C_n$, respectively.
By the first inequality, $C_n-A_n\ge B_n-A_n \ge 0$.
$\sum B_n-A_n$ is monotonic (since each successive term is positive) and is bounded above by $\sum C_n-A_n$. A monotonic sequence bounded above converges to a limit$^1$. Therefore, $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} B_n - A_n$ exists and $\sum B_n$ converges.
$^1$This sequence is monotonic increasing, so the limit of the sequence is the least upper bound of the sequence itself.

Egg, gluten, & nut free
- 41/4 cups chicken stock
- 2/3 cup dry white wine
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 oz prosciutto, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 cups risotto rice such as arborio or carnaroli

Save Recipe
Add to shopping list
- Place the stock and wine in a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan melt the butter and olive oil and fry the onion and prosciutto until the onion has softened.
- Add the rice and cook for 2 minutes, stirring well to ensure that each grain is coated with the oil and butter.
- Add a ladleful of stock to the rice and stir. When the rice has absorbed the stock, add another ladleful. Stir constantly to prevent the rice from sticking. When you have used up half the stock, add the saffron and continue to add the stock, stirring, until all the stock has been used and absorbed, and the rice is tender and creamy, but still firm and with some "bite" to it.
- Season with freshly ground pepper. Add the Parmesan and check the seasoning before serving, only adding salt if needed.
- Watch out for bouillon cubes, since they may contain traces of dairy or gluten.
Dairy free also egg, gluten, & nut free: Follow the recipe for Egg, gluten, & nut free; Risotto alla Milanese, but replace the butter with an equal quantity of dairy-free spread and the Parmesan with an equal quantity of dairy-free Parmesan or other grated dairy-free cheese. For extra creaminess, stir in 2 tablespoons of soy cream alternative in step 3, when adding the saffron.

I am trying to figure out when a closed, oriented manifold admits an orientation reversing diffeomorphism. My naive argument that the orientation cover should allow you to switch orientations is apparently wrong, since not every manifold admits such a diffeomorphism.
Can anyone give me some criteria for when such a morphism should exist, or why some of the standard counterexamples (such as $\mathbb{P}^{2n}$) fail to admit one?

I am in for one
This is the best Zelda game since Ocarina of Time! If you haven't played it, you are missing out.
Toys R Us is selling this game for $34.99, so I tried to price match and use the coupon at Best Buy to get free. After having managers look things over and making phone calls, the coupon ruled out the possibility because it says it can only be used "at regular price," ($49.99). I came so close, but $15 is still an amazing deal.
Add my $5 Reward Zone certificate, and I'm getting a Zelda game for $10. That seems like an impossibly good deal.

The Scotland international has made just three appearances for the Championship club this season but remains in his manager's plans and is unlikely to be sold in the January transfer window.
"Craig has put in a transfer request which we have refused," Mackay told the South Wales Echo.
"I don't expect any of my older players to be happy not playing but Craig is a member of my squad and part of my plans. He will not be leaving in January unless something drastic happens."
The 27-year-old has made just one league appearance this season having played 39 times for Mackay last term following his arrival from Dundee.

Can I use @ to tag people in regular woot discussions like i can in deals.woot discussions?
Can I use the @ to tag people in regular woot discussions like i can in deals.woot discussions?
15 Answers answer
Short answer: no.
You can put the '@' sign in front of their username, but they will not get an email about it.
Just a note - the "@" will only generate an email if the person tagged has turned on the notification email in their settings
@falcondeal: so is there a way to tag them activly so they will see it? I don't usually do non deals woot discussions.
@theoneill555: for deal.woot only... right?
@philosopherott: Not that I know of, otherthan coming into deals.woot and @ tagging them then providing a link to the woot.com discussion.
@falcondeal: Correct - @ tagging is only on deals.woot
On the flip side, woot proper has PMs and deals doesn't
@theoneill555: But PMs do not send an email saying, "Hey you have a PM!" either.
And not everyone subscribes to getting email when they are mentioned, either...
I don't get an email even if someone does it in deals.woot. Oh well.
@tippypaws: Click on "Your Account" next to your user name. Then check under "Email Preferences" to see if you are subscribed!
@inkycatz: I tried to tag you in the discussion for the Gunnar glasses along with others and there was no link to go with the tag. That is how this question came to be.
P.S. off topic bowties are cool. I initiated bowtie Friday at work at my new job. Noone follows but i get great feedback from a lot of people
@philosopherott: Yup! Fortunately we've got the product rep in the thread itself to provide additional information. I hope it helps you out!
@philosopherott: Does Dr. Who have anything to do with your bowtie Friday?
@misterron: ever so slightly
Cause "Bowties are cool"
I like bowtie pasta!

CAMERON (February 21, 2013)--A Rockdale teenager will face a possible sentence penalty when he goes on trial for the 2011 shotgun murder of a retired Milam County nurse who was killed during a home invasion.
Milam County District Attorney Bill Torrey told the trial court judge he intends to seek the death penalty when Brandon Charles Cotton, of Rockdale, goes on trial for the April 2011 shooting death of San Gabriel resident Sandra Phillips.
Another Rockdale teenager, Tanner Aaron Baker, is also charged with capital murder in her death.
The retired nurse was shot to death in April 2011 at her home near Farm-to-Market road 486 in Milam County in the San Gabriel community.
District Judge John Youngblood set a hearing at 1:30 p.m. Monday in the Milam County Courthouse during which prosecutors and defense attorneys will arrive at a new trial date for Cotton.
Torrey, who just took office I January after he defeated former DA Kerry Spears in last year's general election, said he has not yet decided on whether to seek the death penalty for Baker or to allow Baker to plead guilty to the murder.
Last fall Spears said she would not seek the death penalty for Baker, but Torrey could decide differently.
Texas Assistant Attorney General Jane Starnes is scheduled to assist Torrey in the trial but she has said she has conflicts with another trial in East Texas in May so the earliest trial date for Cotton could be in June.
The trial already has been re-set from October 2012 to January after the lead defense lawyer said he had a conflict on the October date.
Youngblood reset the trial after Waco attorney Russ Hunt, Sr., said he is involved in a capital murder trial in Waco around the same time and asked the Milam County district court to delay Cotton's trial until after the other issue is settled.
Both Cotton and Baker face trial in the April, 25, 2011 death of Sandra Phillips, 50, of San Gabriel, who was gunned down at her home on Farm-to-Market Road 486 during what investigators called a home invasion robbery.
Texas Rangers say Cotton and Baker both have admitted to the murder.
Deputies say the woman's husband discovered her body when he came home from work.
Investigators discovered a white 2011 Ford Mustang that belonged to the victim was missing.
Police officers spotted the vehicle in Rockdale at a local convenience store and arrested Baker who was found driving the car.
Cotton was found about an hour later at a different convenience store and officers arrested him.
Church friends who were at the Phillips residence on the afternoon of the murder told a News 10 reporter the Phillips' have one daughter who is grown and living elsewhere.
They said Phillips was a former New York police officer and Sandra Phillips had been working at a local nursing home.

I was wondering what "securely realizes" means. I see this in some cryptographic papers but I don't know what it means for a protocol to "securely realize" a function $F$. Is it just a fancy way of saying "uses" or does it mean something else?
A standard approach in cryptography is to separate out the ideal specification (of what a scheme is supposed to achieve) from the particular instantiation (the implementation of the scheme).
To specify the security and functionality goals, sometimes cryptographers specify an "ideal functionality", which is an idealization of what we are hoping to achieve. Then, one designs a specific instantiation -- a particular scheme -- and proves that the scheme meets the goals set out in the "ideal functionality". We describe this by saying that the scheme securely realizes the ideal functionality. How to prove that is another can of worms entirely... but that's what is meant by the terminology.
This kind of approach and terminology is common in, for instance, theoretical work that adopts an "ideal world/real world" formalization (including, e.g., simulation-based security; indifferentiability; universal composability; and other lines of work in cryptography). See Wikipedia on universal composability for a high-level introduction.

Quite often, when I see a pedalboard of guitarists I admire, there is a compressor pedal in the chain. How exactly does this pedal affect the sound?
A compressor "compresses" the signal that your guitar produces by normalizing the dynamic range of the audio input signal based on a threshold value. This effect is used virtually everywhere in recording. Everything you hear in music that is produced today is compressed in some way--and it can sound anything from a subtle barely noticeable effect to a thick, dampened squish.
The benefit of a compressor lies in that every note played will be at nearly the same amplitude, and therefore nearly equal in volume. This will help normalize tones that are sometimes lost in the mix because of complex overtones, and it will result in a more articulate sound. Notice that if you don't pick all notes of an arpeggio at exactly the same pressure you will likely get a different sound for each note, especially if you are playing a tube amp. Tube amplifiers react dynamically to stronger and weaker signals--it's the allure of them--and thus the non-uniformity of picking at different strengths will be exaggerated. A compressor will fix this problem and normalize all notes of the arpeggio regardless of the player's technique and equipment, which is consequently why many soloists prefer them. Compressors also have the ability to increase the sustain of notes beyond sounds that are normally usable on the instrument; yet another reason the effect is a popular tool in the soloist's arsenal. The tiniest signal can be normalized to the same amplitude of a fierce pick attack, and a trailing note will resonate at the exact same volume until the string stops inducing a signal on the pickup.
Drawbacks of a compressor mirror their benefits. More expressive musical genres such as blues rely on the dynamics of the player. Picking technique and signal volume become part of the performance itself. In this case, a compressor will nullify exactly what you are trying to preserve. However, I have seen some blues guitarists use compressors so this is obviously not true universally.
Compressors also dampen the attack of plucking a string. This will make the note sound a bit squishy and with less snap. This is related to how fast the compressor reacts and normalizes the amplitude of the input signal. Slower reaction times result in a more natural uncompressed tone, while faster reaction times result in the trademark squishy sound. Some people consider the "squishyness" of a faster attack time a plus, while others don't like it. Nearly all compressors allow you to adjust this parameter, but it can never be completely transparent. You can get quite close with parallel compressor designs that blend the original signal into the affected signal, but the nature of the effect will still color the sound; that's what it's supposed to do.
I feel a bit silly writing a new answer when Jduv's is so good, and so well received, but I'm going to anyway partly because I want to use simpler terms, and partly because I have a point to make about attack.
Imagine you had a signal that was sometimes too loud, and sometimes too quiet. You'd deal with it by turning the volume down when it's too loud, and bringing the volume back up when it's quiet. A compressor does exactly this, except it adjusts the volume automatically, usually very quickly.
At its simplest then, it takes a signal that has a variable volume level, and fixes it up so that the volume is more constant.
Whether this is desirable musically depends on the player and the style of music; it is an artistic choice.
Compressors have a number of adjustable parameters. The following ones address the basics:
Compressors are incredibly versatile, having loads of different uses.
Maybe a little counter-intuitively, a compressor can be used to increase the attack; to make something sound more dynamic and staccato:
Imagine the waveform of a clean guitar note:
If we apply compression, and we set, say, 10ms of attack time, it does this:
So it accentuates the attack of plucking the string. Alternatively, with a really short attack parameter, you could dampen the pluck.
Affordable compression units have side effects on the timbre of the sound. Really high end studio equipment minimises this -- but it doesn't matter to the guitarist, because the side effects are rarely unmusical; indeed they are often pleasant. Some units are desirable precisely because of their side-effects.
My explanation is more for generic compressors, but I believe it is relevant for guitars as well.
A compressor is most often used to amplify quiet sounds more than loud sounds. You could think of it as someone turning up the volume on quiet parts, and down on loud parts. This is done by a compressor much faster than a human with a volume knob could :)
As a result, the output has a thinner volume range than the input of the compressor.
Here is an example of a compressor setting:
If there is no compression at all, the output is equal to the input. If you have -20 dB in, you'll have the same -20 dB out. It is represented by the black line in the graph.
With compression as in the example above (green curve):
In other words, the amplification gain varies with the loudness of the input.
Further, this gain is often restricted from changing too fast. This is what attack and release times are for. The attack time prevents the gain from going up to fast, while the release time prevents it from going down too fast.
Compression is really about reducing dynamic range and ends up consisting of either one, or both of
Limiting, is a specialized form of compression which has an "infinite" amount of reduction at a particular volume threshold. Basically, the signal will never go above this point.
Typically, compressors have
The amount of time between a signal being over the threshold before compression is applied. this is useful for keeping the "attack" of the initial transient before the application of compression
The amount of time to actually apply compression to the signal
The input level that when exceeded, triggers the "attack" of the compressor
The amount of signal reduction applied, usually a ratio, with the larger relating to "more". Lower amounts of compression are typically used to "glue" sounds together, large amounts can be used for various effects.
Compressors also may have
Typically called "makeup gain". This is the amount of gain applied to the signal before compression (typically before. Sometimes after, depends on the compressor. Always read the manual!)
The "knee" of a compressor relates to how quickly the full compression amount is applied to the signal. for guitar pedals, you wont usually get to change this, but for plugins you'll be able to control how much compression is applied to signals above the threshold using this.
So, using a combination of all of the above, we can shape the resulting signal. Typically for guitars (and bass), what you want to do is retain the pick "attack" but make the resulting "notes" more similar in volume. This will mean reducing very loud notes, and amplifying very quiet notes. This has the advantage of typically introducing more sustain as well as the tail off of the note will be amplified using the compressor pedal.
Guitar pedal compressors typically don't provide all of the above options, opting for simplicity. its quite common that you'll only get 2-3 parameters to play with. But understanding what the pedal is actually doing will help you shape the sound in a pleasing way. usually the manufacturer will tell you the release/attack/etc timings/values that are set inside the pedal so you can work with them.
The typical usage is where note volume consistency is important. such as when you're chugging away on the low E (or B), and quite often when you're doing fast solos. when you want to be more expressive with your picking velocity, you can turn it off ;)
Its usually recommended that you put a noise gate before your compressor (and some people put one after too) as this will help stop unwanted noise being amplified as "quiet notes" by your compressor pedal.

WEIRTON - The Big Red girls basketball team came from seven points down Monday night to keep its record unblemished with a 57-48 victory over Weir High at the Carl R. Hamill Fieldhouse.
Going into the game, Steubenville coach Phil Casinelli was concerned about how his players would react playing their first road game and especially against what he considered a good team despite the Lady Red Riders' winless record.
"You never know what can happen on the road and Weir High has four girls who have started at least two years," said Casinelli. "Our girls, all eight who got in, fought through a lot of adversity tonight. We were tested tonight. We knew going in it would be struggle."

LOOKING TOWARD THE BASKET — Big Red's Taylor Young looks for a teammate during Monday's 57-48 road win at Weir High. - Fred Younce
On the other side, veteran Red Rider coach, Bill Smith, whose team still is looking for its first win after five games, felt the Lady Red Riders may have run out of gas in the fourth quarter after battling through three quarters of nip-and-tuck basketball.
"I thought we played great basketball for three quarters," he said. "We got a little tired going down the stretch and made some mistakes defensively. We rebounded tonight and ran up and down the floor like I want to do all the time. It's a work in progress."
With sophomore Reagan Stead scoring 16 of her team-high and career-high 19 points, the Lady Red Riders went into the fourth quarter with a one point lead at 28-27.
When junior Alyssa Shingle hit the second three-pointer with 1:57 left in the third period, the Red Riders had their biggest lead of the night at 38-31. However, Big Red scored six unanswered points with junior Emiley Masloski swishing back-to-back threes to narrow the gap to the one-point margin.
"We went to the 1-3-1 zone defense in the second half and that seemed to confuse Big Red, especially in the third quarter," Smith explained. "What we really need to do is play better defensively, especially boxing out."
Big Red's Brittany Bodo opened the fourth quarter scoring with a layup to retrieve the lead for her team, a lead that shifted back and fourth three times until Masloski made two field goals in a row. On her second goal with 3:41 left in the game, Masloski stole the ball at the Weir High foul line and raced coast to coast for the layup that armed Big Red with a 45-42 lead.
Masloski, who finished with a game-high 26 points, made seven of eight free throws down the stretch to seal the win.
However, perhaps the key shot of the game was a three-pointer by junior Taylor Young from deep in the right corner with 1:19 left that lengthened the Big Red lead to six points.
"Taylor Young is a tough girl and that was a big time shot," Casinelli said. "As coaches, we're saying no, no, no in that situation, but she has confidence and we want that in our girls. She knocked it down and that was a big shot."
Casinelli said he made a couple of changes at halftime.
"We didn't want them to continue to leak out for easy transition baskets like they had in the first half so we kept two girls back instead of one.
"And Stead was on fire in the first half so we wanted to deny her the ball as much as possible. I thought we did a lot better job on defense in the second half."
Casinelli said he had a lot of girls help out in different ways. He pointed out that senior Dana Poole came off the bench and hauled down a game-high 12 rebounds and sophomore Dominique Wilson also came off the bench to do a good job defending against Shingle going down the stretch.
"We had a lot of girls contribute in different ways and that's why I say it was a total team effort," Casinelli concluded.
Big Red enjoyed a balance scoring attack with seven girls getting points. Junior Mytia Baker was the only other Big Red player in double figures. She had 11 points and also pulled in eight off the glass. Big Red out rebounded the Red Riders 37-26.
Shingle finished with 11 points for Weir High. Senior Shelva Burns scored 10 points and, with Kayla Lemley and Raven Young, pulled down seven rebounds.
Weir High will attempt to get that elusive first win Saturday, entertaining Magnolia with a noon reserve game start. Meanwhile, Big Red will try to keep the winning streak going Wednesday when Steubenville Central invades the Crimson Center for a battle of city rivals.

There's quite a good thread on the topic, Installing Uploader Plugin for CakePHP 2.x, but I wanted to clear some things out which are not that clear in the thread (to me at least).
Btw the authors page: http://milesj.me/code/cakephp/uploader
Is it right that if you want to save manually (without the behaviour), the installation is as follows:
CakePlugin::load('Uploader'); // THIS GOES INTO THE BOOTSTRAP.PHP FILE PER THE REFERENCED QUESTION ANSWER
App::import('Vendor', 'Uploader.Uploader'); // THIS GOES INTO CONTROLLER PER THE REFERENCED QUESTION ANSWER
$this->Uploader = new Uploader(); // THIS GOES INTO CONTROLLER PER THE REFERENCED QUESTION ANSWER
Is that right?
BUT, if you are using the behaviour instead you don't do ANY of that above for installation, instead you do ONLY in model:
public $actsAs = array('Uploader.Attachment');
Is that right?
Is chapter 2 of the documentation only applicable for when using the plugin manually? Otherwise, you configure the model behaviour per chapter 3 only in the model.
Final question: So if I understand this right (I am still a little new to CakePHP), if I am using the behaviour to do the save automatically, whenever I upload a file to that model, it will automatically save the file in the right folder without me having to do anything and put a reference in the
$data variable which is pointing to the saving location?
Thanks in advance!

Present status: Ubuntu 12.04 installed and working. Want to install windows 7, keeping it a dual boot. I have only installation files of Windows 7. What should I do?
First, use gparted to make space for the Windows 7 partition.
After that, you can simply use an ISO with your Windows product key; Microsoft actually makes the ISOs available for download online via Digital River CDN links.
Or, if you don't want to download the ISO, the installation files option will probably have a means of installing to just the empty space, rather than erasing the whole drive (however, I have never used this installation method myself).
After that, you'll want to boot onto an Ubuntu LiveCD so that you can repair your GRUB installation.
I doubt you can do that by Windows 7 installation files which are let free in a drive. And you have to check with Windows forum for the files you got to get a DVD out of it. But if you got ISO of the windows7, than you can make it a DVD,than by making Partition in UBuntu drive using Gparted, than can install it I believe. Since as far I know, if from Windows installation files, it won't integrative together to form the bootable disk

OverstockedWritten by on November 1, 2004 Contributors: Jeremy Cook The Goodguys Nationals Packs Them In
If you wanted to see classic trucks, hot rods, street rods, customs, musclecars, and restos, you would have had a hard time finding any place with more of them than the Goodguys Nationals in Columbus, Ohio. You're pretty much guaranteed to have a good time at any one of their shows, but if you can only make it to one, this is it.
A little bit of Midwest rain crept in on Saturday afternoon, but Goodguys pulled some strings and had it pass through quickly. A bit of cloud cover kept the temperatures down around manageable levels for most of the weekend but shorts were in order when the sun popped through. The swap meet has grown every year and was a great diversion when it did get hot, thanks to the overhead awnings. Everything from complete cars to door hinges were there if you wanted to scour the boxes.
Two other reasons not to miss this show, if your interests include street rods and muscle cars, is that you'll get to see firsthand the cars that get crowned the Street Rod of the Year and the Street Machine of the Year. These awards have really gained recognition in the last few years and have become some of the most prestigious titles to compete for. The nation's top builders bring out their coolest cars hoping to bring home the gold. The best part is that there are no ropes separating you from taking an up-close-and-personal look at these rolling works of art.
You may not have the money to play with these guys, but if you're talented enough, there's no way you'll walk away without gaining a few tips to make your own truck better. If you think your truck has what it takes or just want to go see some that do, you have just enough time to go to the Goodguys Lone Star Nationals in Fort Worth, Texas, and check out the Truck of the Year competition.

Thanks to their mostly wood substructure, most early Chevys have rotted away over the years--so finding nice ones are always a rare sight. Walter Murray is the caretaker for this beautiful '31 that looks perfect with wide-whites and chrome smoothies. A 350/700-R4 has replaced the straight-six/three-speed combo.Columbus certainly had its share of retro-rods. Veteran Auto Sales & Service motored out in their '58 Stude to lend a helping hand to anyone in the need.As always, there were a lot of hot cars in attendance. On-hand just in case any of them got a little too hot was Brian Bowers and his '47 International fire truck to help put them out. An 8-71-blown 454 was under the hood to get him to the fire on time.They really come out of the woodwork for the Nationals. Joe Dilkes brought his not-too-many-left '36 Dodge out from New Jersey. The chopped and smoothed Dodge features a 350/350 combo, leather interior, and huge Colorado Custom wheels.An '02 Chevy 4.8-liter V-8 is nestled under the two-toned hood of Terry Neal's '49 Chevy, which provides plenty of reliable power for this sano driver.Brian Wilbanks is one of those that believes that fun is in the run. Brian drove his '56 F-100 over 500 miles to get to Columbus. The 312ci Y-block backed by a C4 auto never missed a tick.A mother is not the only one that loved Ben Baker's '39 Ford. The great stance and conservative wheel/tire combo and color made it a must-see.Pro-Street is alive and well thanks to well-built examples like Bob Provin's '51 Chevy that not only features a 3 1/2-inch chopped top, shaved handles, and trim on the outside, but sports a detailed 468ci big-block under the hood to spin the wide-by-tall rear meats. A 700-R4, Ford 4.11:1-geared 9-inch, and Mustang II IFS round out the chassis.
We're seeing more and more classic trucks blurring the line between street rods and pickups at every show. Larry Strauch equipped his '56 Custom Cab with a Fatman chassis fitted with a Winters' quick-change out back and a Mustang II IFS up front. A 460/C6 combo provides plenty of power. The hot rod touch is driven home thanks to the Moon tank prominently mounted front and center behind the front bumper.I have a soft spot for Model As, so when I saw Roy Patten's stretched '30 closed cab, it was an easy choice for an award. The cab has 12 extra inches of room and has been set down on a custom Arizona Street Rods chassis. The House of Kolors Burple paint contrasts quite well with the red Wheel Vintique wires.We had been patiently passing the time until we would run into Ron Thacker and his '64 International Scout ever since we first saw it in its not-quite-finished condition last year at Pigeon Forge. A 305ci small-block, Turbo 350, and an S-10 rearend has updated the stock four-cylinder drivetrain. The VW Beetle green and polished five-spokes make it hard to pass up.Julia Murphy and her husband Bob understand the K.I.S.S. (keep it simple, stupid) rule. When it came time for Julia to get a cruiser for herself, she found this '56 F-100 partially completed and decided to see it through. She wanted clean and simple and got it with a stock chassis outfitted with a '69 Chevelle subframe with dropped spindles and 'bags in front and an 8-inch rear hanging with the stock parallel leaves out back.You'll have to search awhile to find a '40 Chevy pickup nicer than this one. Brian Sabo recently completed this House of Kolor Blue Blood Red one. A Street & Performance LT1 and 700-R4 gets it moving, and a Heidt's IFS and Chassis Engineering rear suspension keeps it well planted.We ran into Bill Deese and his '55 Chevy big-window at Indy this year (check out the feature and his story elsewhere in this issue) and were blown away with the detail. The subtle custom-mixed PPG blue paint and 15-inch cast-finish five-spokes mask a 510ci Merlin big-block under the hood.Jeremy is partial to patina, real or not. Dennis Lesky went to great lengths to make his '52 F-1 look worse than it really was. The bare spots that appeared to have suffered surface rust were in fact paint. A 350ci V-8, Turbo 400, Ford 9-inch, and an '85 Cutlass front clip makes sure it's more reliable than it looks.You should remember Jim and Sandy Boruff's '53 from our SuperNats coverage back in the Sept. '04 issue. Their Top Five truck there earned a spot in out Top Ten here. The detailing on this truck has to be seen to be believed, and you'd better be prepared to get down to have a look underneath. The No Limit Engineering frame provides the foundation for a Fatman IFS and four-bar rear suspended on coilovers front and back.

When someone uses the term, "Perty Gay Like That, Mkay?", s/he is not in any way referring to a homosexual person. S/he is innocently pointing out that the person is acting perty gay. This is often confused with actually slandering someone for being gay.
You perty gay like that, Mkay?

I know this is pretty sensitive question, I would like to get an objective answer. It is widely known that jewish people were persecuted by Hitler's regime, and many of them died in concentration camps. But I never feel like the numbers are exact, from time to time I see people's documentation about holocaust, the numbers are changing in wide range.
My problem is:
- first of all there are neo-nazis, who claim that the holocaust never happened. Ok, that seems totally false.
- second of all there are soviet and even some american claims about the numbers which are also look falsified. I wouldn't wonder since there was a war which was won, and the winner always try to support their views. Especially the soviet datas are not really reliable.
I see some attempts to get clear picture, for example David Cole's interviews in Auschwitz. He made a low cost documentary movie of this subject in 1992. He seems to me a little bit more reliable person than some soviet officiers or neo-nazi sources. He claims that - and it is pretty believable to me - germans mostly forced jews to work and lot more of jews died in poor condition than gas chambers. But since I am not historian I can't really judge it.
So the point of the question is: Is there any normal objective source on this subject?

Alpaca Direct Winter Sport Socks with Alpacor
Great sports socks for winter and summer. Excellent at wicking, soft natural fiber alpaca, very durable. These socks are my all-time favorite socks. I have always loved alpaca socks as they are definitely a step up from wool. What makes these socks special is the Alpacor fiber and the specific designs that have a great fit and finish. I work for the company that sells them online and they are my all-time favorite socks they have ever offered. Alpaca socks have been known for years to be the warmest… Full review
RBH Designs Bonded VaprThrm Liner Sock
RBH Designs comes to the rescue of chronically cold feet! The VaprThrm VBL sock kept my feet warm in very cold Colorado ski days, also love it that the boot liners don't get soaked by "wicking" socks. The VBL concept works awesomely, probably even better with lots of footpowder. Warm feet again! I found RBH on a Google search for VBL - they make lots more VBL clothing than does Stephenson Warmlite - I do love my Warmlite No-Sweat shirt, can't wait to try an RBH shirt this winter. Full review
Smartwool Men's PhD Ski Light Sock
These socks wick crazy, keep my feet warm in aerobic activities in the dead of winter, and provide great arch support. I have loved having these for trail running, hiking and Mtn biking in poor conditions, but have never really put the shin cushioning to the test skiing. Hopefully next year! Full review
Bridgedale Men's Heel Fit
Definitely stays on the heel, with plenty of warmth, protection, and support. I've used these mountain biking in snowy conditions, hiking and trekking in snowy backcountry, and trail running in snow/slush. They have been super comfortable, staying high over my calves to keep me warm. The 4 star rating is for durability issues: my left sock is separating at the heel seam...darn. Full review
Smartwool Men's PhD Ski Medium Sock
The best snowsport sock I've ever owned. I don't get to ski much, but I wear these mountain biking, hiking in winter, trail running: you name it. They are particularly great for hard mountain biking in the dead of winter because the extra cushioning on the shins keeps me warmer against the head winds. The shin cushioning works well to protect the ankles when my Torre GTX's need to be cinched up tightly. The socks honestly do everything advertised extremely well. I don't need to dispute any of their… Full review

Ext.Loader is not enabled
Hi all,
I have my user interface built on 4.0.2a. Now I am trying to use 4.1 beta but I get the following error in Firebug:
Ext.Loader is not enabled, so dependencies cannot be resolved dynamically.
Ext.Loader.setConfig({enabled: true}); Ext.Loader.setPath('Ext.ux', '__SENCHA_SYSTEM_URL__/extjs/examples/ux/');
2 Jan 2012 7:24 AM #2
This is how I do it (and it works).
enabled: true,
// Don't set to true, it's easier to use the debugger option to disable caching
disableCaching: false,
paths: {
'wag.floorplan': contextRoot + '/wag/floorplan/js'
2 Jan 2012 11:48 PM #3
Thanks for your suggestions LesJ but it didn't work for me
I set disableCaching to false and also set the paths config instead of using setPath method but no affect...
3 Jan 2012 11:04 AM #4
Which js file are you using?
Where are you putting those lines to enable the loader?
It might help if you post the top of your HTML file so we can see how you're including things.
3 Jan 2012 11:54 PM #5
Thanks for your response. I am using ext-all-debug.js from 4.1.0 beta. Here is my HTML file:
HTML Code:
4 Jan 2012 12:19 AM #6
It looks to me like you're configuring the loader too late. Try putting it immediately after you include ext-all-debug.js.
4 Jan 2012 12:48 AM #7
yes that worked! Thanks! now the error is gone but still my application doesn't work. Instead of a whole page loaded, I just see a small rectangle on the top left corner of the screen... Anyway, I think I will stick for 4.0.2 for now and migrate to 4.1.0 when its working properly. I have read many users quote that their application didn't work at all with 4.1.0.
4 Jan 2012 12:53 AM #8
Indeed, 4.1.0-beta-1 is just a beta, it'd be brave or foolish to try to use it in a production environment.
If you're still on 4.0.2 it might be worth upgrading to 4.0.7. It'll be a smaller jump than 4.1.0 and you'll get a lot of bug fixes and performance improvements. 4.0.7 is a lot more stable than 4.0.2.
4 Jan 2012 1:04 AM #9
Yes. I did notice some bugs in 4.0.2 which have been fixed in 4.0.7 but my application is nearly complete now and I dont want to change things at the moment. I tried with 4.0.7 once but the layouts of windows etc. were not the same as with 4.0.2 and there were problems with comboboxes. But eventually, I will move to 4.0.7. It seems that with every change in the ExtJS version, the user will have to make changes in his/her own code to make it work...
Thanks for your suggestions.

SEIZUI essence (ebook)
Haiku Poetry of the Japanese Masters
Nerina Lascelles is an accomplished Melbourne Artist who has been exhibiting in Australia and internationally for over 20 years. Nerina's most recent influences are directly inspired by travel to Japan.
"There's such synergy in Nerina choosing that form of poetic expression to enrich her work. The elements of her paintings: the composition, the collage, the encaustic and the layering, are like words for the Haiku poet. She pares her elements down to the bare essentials, effortlessly expressing her chosen theme. Both in the exhibition and this publication, Haiku and Nerina's work make the perfect 'couple'. Sublimely adding to one another's imagery.
In the sacred pages of this book you will find hours of contemplation. Keep it by your bedside. Open it often and allow the words and visual essence herein to touch your soul." Jeannette Davison

Tomato and Herb Omelet
Categories: Christmas, Easter, Quick to fix, Vegetarian
Type: Breakfast
Type: Breakfast
Tomatoes and fresh herbs make this the perfect savory omelette for breakfast, brunch, or even lunch.
Serves: serves 1
- 1 medium-sized tomato
- 3 free-range eggs
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs-parsley, chives, chervil
- salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Save Recipe
Add to shopping list
- Peel the tomato-dip it in boiling water for a couple of minutes, then the skin slides off easily. Chop it.
- Beat the eggs in a bowl, then add the chopped tomatoes, the herbs-save a sprinkle for garnishing-and seasoning. Have a hot plate ready.
- Heat the oil in a small nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat. When it is sizzling hot, pour in the egg mixture.
- With a fork, keep lifting the edges so that the uncooked egg on top can run underneath. The whole operation should take less than a minute, and the egg should still be slightly runny on top when you roll the omelet out onto the plate.
- Sprinkle with the remaining herbs and serve at once.
- Omelets are best made one at a time, though two people can share a big one. These quantities make one good-sized omelet; for 2 people, double the quantities, but use 5 rather than 6 eggs.

Considering that a lot of questions got good answers just a few minutes after the question, and that some people need more information for better understanding and better answers: how much time is polite to be 'outside' of Stack Overflow once a question was posted and then return back to check answers and comments in your question?
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
Difficult to tell. Very often, when people ask questions, they will return after a few hours to check on the progress.
It also depends on how badly you need an answer, I guess. A comment that doesn't get answered quickly will simply be forgotten by users, until you respond.
You get the Fastest Gun In The West answers for at minimum the first 5 minutes after you post. Usually a crappy version, quickly typed to get lazy upvotes or to lock-in the Enlightened badge. Meanwhile, the answerer still works on typing a real answer. Give them another 5 minutes in case they were a bit late to seeing it. Posting a comment that says "what do you mean" is a waste of your time, wait 10 minutes.
Find a sword to pass the time.
When fifteen minutes have passed and you still didn't get a meaningful answer then you've got a problem with your question, it isn't good enough. Jump in and start editing your post, you'll need to give a lot more details. You have however entered the very long tail of SO, your edit can only bump it up-hill a bit.
