I know that one should not wash his clothes during the 9 days, and that one should also not wear "freshly laundered clothes" during this time except on Shabbos. My question is, what constitutes "freshly laundered clothes"? Is it permissible to do laundry immediately before the 9 days and then wear those clothes during the 9 days? Thanks all for your help.

It seems you are asking if "freshly laundered" means not worn since the last time they were laundered or if it means that they just came out of the laundry recently (time-wise). Obviously, the phrase "freshly laundered" doesn't show up in the Shulchan Aruch, but looking at what he does say (OC 551:3):
He doesn't mention any time factor, but just seems to include anything that had previously been laundered (and presumably not worn). This is the common practice among everyone I know.
Per Orach Chaim 551:3 freshly laundered clothing and linen such as towels, sheets and tablecloths, may not be worn or used during the Nine Days.

Aw, their Mens' polos are no longer 100% cotton! they're a 60%/40% cotton/polyester blend! Boo!
@randywalker: They have been changing a lot of their great items recently, hoping that people don't notice. It honestly makes me not want to shop there anymore.
I ordered stuff last week with the other 25% off code and pants do not run to size if you buy them online. My husband has worn the same size of pants from old navy since college, he just keeps buying more. The ones that came in the mail were at least 2 sizes too small but they said 34/36 like he normally wears. The 12's I bought also wouldn't fit even though they did in the store, I just bought them online because of the discount code. I'll never do that again!
@killasandra: I've had that problem a lot with them. Not just with jeans, but shirts, too. Seems like the sizing on every item is different from the next, depending on which country or factory it was made in. I love their v-neck tees and have ordered the same size the past year or two, but recently got a couple more online and they showed up much smaller than that others. Even seems to vary from color to color.

Last night the iPhone 3G (my friend's iPhone, not jail-broken) went black and a white fuzzy line would move around the screen.
Powering off and starting again seemed to remove the problem.
We have not been able to reproduce the problem since yesterday. What hardware/software fault could be a likely cause for this? So it would be possible to tell an Apple Genius next time it happens.

In bidding a complex project for a client, I wanted a way to determine their reliance upon software. They have many people doing manual entry and Excel spreadsheets power many pieces as well as legacy code and some off the shlef solutions that do not interact in any way.
Its one thing to say "You need software to run your business" but how do you create a measure of this to be able to say something like "You are currently 68% reliant upon software" its time to take it seriously before the expanding complexity costs more to maintain than to re-write?

The 39th NSRA Street Rod Nationals - Everything Imaginable Under The Sun - Expanded for WebWritten by on November 5, 2008 Contributors: Kevin Elliott NSRA Nationals Never Disappoints
The 39th NSRA Street Rod Nationals once again rolled into Louisville, Kentucky, the event's 14th visit to the city, and the 11th in succession. The Kentucky Exposition Center provides a perfect location, especially now the exhibit facility complex has been renovated, which houses not just the absolutely huge vendor exhibits but also the food court and Women's World.
It's easy to spend the better part of two days in the exhibit building alone, especially if you're a hands-on builder. The outside swap meet is an added bonus if it's original parts or early tin you're after, though this section seemed a little smaller than last year. In fact finding time to cram everything into the four days can be a problem, what with technical seminars, the Pro's Pick contests, vehicle safety inspections, the Builders' Showcase, evening entertainment in the form of bands in Freedom Hall, and the thousands of street rods present.
The Exposition Center grounds are huge, and there are rods parked or cruising throughout the facility, making it hard to determine whether sitting and watching them go by or jumping in your own and cruising the grounds is the better option to see most of them. We were working (yeah, hard life huh!) and therefore have the luxury of whizzing around in a golf cart shooting cars for posterity but would hate to imagine walking the entire event. Some bemoan the continued return to Louisville, and many could do without the humidity we're sure, but when a facility provides everything needed, including an adjoining theme park, it's hard to see a reason for change.

This 'un had us scratching our heads, though despite the headlight doors we knew it wasn't a '40 Ford! Turns out it's a '40 Dodge, with a Christman Racing-built round tube frame and heavily set-back 415ci Merlin Hardcore stroker engine. With less than 200 miles on the motor and trans-braked TH400 trans, it was for sale or trade for a nostalgia gasser.We dug 'Wet' Rob Rothweiler's cool '25T as soon as we saw it. From the undropped axle and blackwall bias plies to the lunchbox hood latches and abbreviated truck grille it yelled 'early hot rod.'With dual quads and a magneto feeding fuel and fire to the zoomie-equipped small-block, this chopped 'n' channeled T coupe looked like a lot of fun cruising the fairgrounds.With dual quads and a magneto feeding fuel and fire to the zoomie-equipped small-block, this chopped 'n' channeled T coupe looked like a lot of fun cruising the fairgrounds.There were a number of large delivery trucks at Louisville, but local boy John Gardner's '48 International Metro caught our eye thanks to its 'Bread Sled' sign writing and, upon closer inspection, the complete '59 Chevy dash and steering wheel. With a Dodge Dakota clip and 20-inch five-spokes, it drives great, if not exactly a comfy long-distance hauler with those tractor seats!Akron, Ohio's Jeff Spry had this very cool five-window parked outside the vendor building with a For Sale sign in the window. The stock height black-on-black beauty was running rare Electroline accessory headlights.We loved Larry Harper's Hemi-fied 1930 A truck as soon as we saw it cruising the fairgrounds and jumped on it for a feature when we finally found it parked. It features numerous neat touches, such as the carpenter's levels as bed sidestakes.
Dennis Bordin and his '35 Chevy coupe were a long way from their San Leandro, California, home. Monochromatic paint and one-piece side windows bring it up to date, while the five-spokes keep it timeless.Simple, clean, and cool just about sums up Grant Cassen's repro-bodied, Flathead-powered '32 roadster. Lots of little details drew us in for a closer look on a few occasions.The NSRA Nats still seems to be the show to go to if you want to find non-Ford or GM rides. Don and Phillis Gatlin's '33 Plymouth sedan appeared to have provided them with several miles of enjoyment so far.Scott Shaffer brought this cool little '31 coupe down from Indiana, which despite its outward traditional appearance, was running disc brakes at each corner and aluminum coilovers. We'll bet it stops better than most bias ply-shod rods!We found the perfect trailer for those of you who don't even want to chance getting your hot rod dirty pulling it out of the trailer. It'll also help take the guesswork out of what's inside for anyone who might want to steal it.Riley Buttry's '34 Chevy coupe has been in his family since 1971, originally built by his dad and grandfather, but received a makeover when it passed into his hands as a teenager, with most of the work except the interior done at home. With 17- and 20-inch polished Americans and a GM Performance 350 under a three-piece hood, Riley has been driving the refurbished coupe since 2004.Fenderless sedans have a certain cool factor, but a chopped Vicky is just a little cooler somehow. Newark, Ohio's Bob Johnson is the lucky guy who owns the keys to this particular Victoria.
The Kentucky Exposition Center backs onto Six Flags amusement park, but Ray Herring's '32 Tudor looks more fun than any fairground ride, especially with that two-four-fed Hemi up front and skinny bias plies!Seeing as Larry and Sandy Langdon's '48 Chevy hails from Ohio, it seems only right it should wear 'Ohio flames.' The healthily hammered coupe featured a neat molded front pan-come-bumper that would be easy to replace if damaged as it wasn't molded to the fenders.Ben Smithson is barely into his twenties but has assembled this '31 Ford Tudor and was proudly showing it off in Vintage Air's Under 25 arena. The body was channeled over the frame and the front buckets set back a little farther to make room for the '59 Chevy dash. The missing rear seat made room for a larger fuel tank.Keeping your build all-Ford or all-Chevy is easy. Try building a Studebaker and keeping it all Stude. Tom Burns almost did it with his '27 Stude coupe sitting on the stock frame. The engine is a '63 Avanti R2 topped with a Cadillac 3x2 intake and shifted through a 4-gear manual. A Ford 8-inch, Vega steering box, Buick drums, and a few aftermarket hot rod pieces are about the only other non-Studebaker parts.If you had a 3x2-equipped 348 under the hood you'd leave it up too just as Howie Kittelstad did with his '47 Chevy convertible.

The combination of heavy rains and gusty winds from the remnants of tropical systems Isidore and Lili took down numerous limbs and branches across South-central Kentucky. Some trees were even toppled over completely last Friday. This resulted in messy yards for many area residents.
According to Jay Dougherty, an arborist with the Bowling Green Parks and Recreation Department, there are steps a person can ensure their trees will stand up to Mother Nature.
He emphasizes pruning as the best method for giving trees better stability. He said this includes clipping off the bottom and inner limbs to help trees stand up against the wind.
One practice Dougherty cautions against, however, is the 'topping' of trees. He says this makes the limbs weaker, making a tree more prone to the elements.

Caring for Storm Damaged Trees
Homeowners need to keep safety first and to consider the best approach for dealing with damaged trees. Heavy work, including chainsaw work, that cannot be done from the ground and all work on large trees should be done only by a tree care professional.
Loose or loosely attached branches and split trunks are obvious safety concerns that should be taken care of first to avoid the possibility of injuring someone or damaging property if the branch or that part of the tree falls.
Broken but firmly attached branches that pose no immediate danger of falling can be pruned whenever convenient after the more hazardous loose branches have been removed.
Trunks split down the middle are very difficult to brace adequately, and trees with split trunks should be removed or attended to by a tree care professional. When in doubt of the hazardous condition of a tree, consult with an expert for advice.
Trees leaning from root breakage usually do not survive. If a tree tips in a storm, it often means the tree had damaged or poorly developed roots before the storm pushed it over.
Trees bent over, but whose roots are intact may return to their normal positions. If the trees do not pose a hazard, leave them for a few weeks to see if they recover on their own.
Mature trees rarely survive attempts to pull them back into place after being tipped over by a storm. These generally should be removed and replaced with new trees.
Working Around Power Lines
Branches hanging over power lines are a major safety hazard from the standpoint of the person removing the branches. Special training is required to prune branches over power lines safely. Homeowners should not attempt to prune these branches themselves. Contact your local power company to have these branches removed.
The only pruning that needs to be done is the removal of broken branches. Branches that have pulled away from the trunk should be removed at the bottom of the split. Avoid causing any additional damage to the trunk. Remove any loose bark, but do not cut into bark that is living and still attached.
Never top trees. Topping creates serious hazards and dramatically shortens the life of a tree. Never use paint or wound dressing. These materials don't help the tree and actually interfere with the tree's wound sealing process.
Do not prune or remove more than you have to. Remove any hazards, but save other decisions on pruning and removals for later. While the damage may look severe at this time, concentrate on how you can save trees rather than making quick decisions on cutting them down.
Keep in mind why you wanted your trees. The trees may still be able to serve that function. Don't be too hasty to remove a tree -- you may decide later the tree was not damaged as badly as you thought.

Are donations to Noisebridge tax deductible?
Noisebridge is an educational non-profit CA corporation for the public good, and we recently received 501(c)(3) tax exempt status. All donations to Noisebridge since October 2008 are considered charitable gifts. Whether or not your donation is tax deductible depends on your tax situation and other factors; consult your tax preparer. Please contact email@example.com and email@example.com should you require documentation of your donation.
Non-cash donations over $500 require filling out form 8283. The rule for IRA account donations for owners over 70.5 years old has been extended through 2012, providing an option for fully tax-free donations to Noisebridge. Consult your tax professional for more information.
Non-cash donations over $5000 generally require an appraisal of the property prior to the donation to claim a deduction.
All non-cash donations must be in good condition or better. For non-cash donations over $500, make sure to bring a copy of your contact information so Noisebridge can send you form 8282 if required under certain circumstances. If you use a car to bring non-cash donations to Noisebridge, your transportation and parking expenses are probably (but not always) deductible. See publication 526 for details and a list of records to provide to your tax professional so they can determine whether the deduction will be allowed.
Are membership dues tax deductible?
This depends on your tax situation and other factors and as such is not answerable by Noisebridge. Some value may be received in exchange for your dues, depending on your usage of the Noisebridge space. Please discuss it with your tax preparer.
Do companies match donations?
Some employers will match an employee's tax-deductible contribution to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit! Generally the nonprofit has to do some small amount of paperwork. Contact a board member if your employer will match, and we're happy to do this work!
In particular, the following companies are already set up:
- Google (as of July 2009)
- Microsoft

MILFORD – An 18-year-old Rhode Island man did not resurface when he fell awkwardly into what is known as "Fletcher Quarry" off Cedar Street Sunday afternoon, police and fire officials said.According to police, the teen and several other Rhode Island teens were taking turns jumping into the quarry from the ledge above.Search and rescue teams from local police departments including Milford, Hopkinton and Framingham were on scene, as well as members of regional search teams.Milford Deputy Fire Chief Mark Nelson, in a briefing to the media at the scene around 3:45 p.m., said the rescue operation was "ongoing."According to Nelson, witness reports have the 18-year-old male from Rhode Island, who was with several other teens also from Rhode Island, as landing into the water awkwardly from the high ledge."He did not surface," he said.Nelson said the operation turned from a rescue mission to a recovery effort within 90 minutes into the investigation.During the briefing, he said one diver at a time was scouring the water, diving as deep as 60 feet. He said the divers' visibility was about 10 to 15 feet.The search was suspended at dusk Sunday evening and will resume Monday morning, Milford police said on Twitter.Nelson added that over a dozen divers were on hand and an additional 30 members of technical support teams were assisting.He said there are numerous objects in the water, including a car."It's an old operating quarry," he said. "There's a lot of obstructions and debris."Milford Deputy Police Chief James Heron said police do everything they can to deter anyone from coming into the quarries."We do the best we can to keep them out of here," he said.He added that since police monitor vehicles parked near the trail on Walden Way, quarry jumpers park elsewhere and walk through a series of trails or along the road, sometimes parking at Wendy's, three miles away."It's impossible to keep them out," he said.Barry Katz, who lives on Walden Way right near the beginning of the trail that leads to the quarry, said the location is frequented in the summer.Although a sign a few feet into the trail identifies the area as private property, Katz said people - often youths - are frequently seen going into and coming out of the trail."We're supposed to call the police," said Katz, who has lived on Walden Way for more than five years.Although he said he has contacted police about the issue in the past, he said it is "hard to do."I just tell them to be careful," Katz said.According to Fletcher Granite's website, the granite carved out of the quarry is known as Milford Pink,� and is "considered one of the great granites of this country because of its impressive character, particularly when used in large areas."Meanwhile, police and fire officials responded nearby to a town pool for a report of a 10-year-old boy who went into cardiac arrest during a swimming lesson, according to Daily News media partner WCVB.The news station reported that the boy went into cardiac arrest during a lesson at the Fino Field pool on Granite Street and was taken to UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester, where he was listed in critical condition.

This is such a really cool hack!! I love it. Absolutely brilliant way to take advantage of the 2D environment to build 3D UI's!

Very right in saying designers have been after this feature for quite some time, the ability of applying interactive elements mapped (even if only appearing to be) onto 3d object surfaces, opens a wide array of possibility's. Hardware technology such as shades would most likely enhance this feature as the ability to apply hi-quality material elements such as smoke, particles and reflections would widen the possibility's even more.

STEUBENVILLE - Parents were the focus of a two-hour Jefferson County juvenile court hearing Thursday that resulted in two Steubenville High School student-athletes charged with rape having their cases remain in the juvenile system.
Visiting Judge Tom Lipps also released the juveniles from the detention center on house arrest.
Trent Mays, 16, of Bloomingdale and Malik Richmond, 16, of Steubenville are charged with rape. Mays also faces a charge of illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material.

JUVENILE HEARING — Visiting Judge Tom Lipps listened to testimony Thursday in Jefferson County Juvenile Court in the case of two Steubenville High School student-athletes who are charged with rape. Lipps ruled the defendants will remain in the juvenile court system and were released from the detention center on house arrest. - Mark Law
The alleged rape occurred during the overnight hours of Aug. 11-12 and involved a girl who witnesses said was highly intoxicated.
The next step in the proceedings is a pretrial hearing scheduled for 10:30 a.m. on Dec. 14, followed by a trial.
Richmond is being represented by attorney Walter Madison, and Mays is being represented by attorney Adam Nemann of Columbus.
The prosecution is represented by Assistant Attorney General Marianne Hemmeter and Assistant Attorney General Jennifer Brumby, both with the Ohio Attorney General's Crimes Against Children unit.
The victim's mother was called by the prosecution, and she said her daughter is humiliated by what happened.
"She stays in her room a lot and doesn't want to go to school," the mother said of her daughter.
The daughter doesn't sleep much and the mother said she hears her crying at night. The mother said there have been threats made toward the family, and a police office is in her neighborhood everyday.
The mother also said her daughter has been ostracized by her friends and their parents who don't want their kids around her.
Lipps asked her if the juveniles charged should be tried as adults or remain in juvenile court.
"I thought about it over a million times, and I leave it in God's hands," the mother said.
Daphne Birden, Richmond's mother, said she allowed Greg and Jennifer Agresta to assume guardianship of her son because of medical conditions when Richmond was about 8 years old. She said Richmond "came out" and started talking more to people when he lived with the Agrestas. She said she wanted her son to remain in the juvenile court system.
Nate Richmond, the father, said his son is not selfish and has compassion and character.
Nate Richmond said he believes Malik is still a kid but will be able to adapt to the programs that are available to him through the juvenile court system if he is found guilty.
Jennifer Agresta said Malik came from an at-risk home situation. She described him as a kid who was much more mature at age 8 than most kids his age.
"Malik is a special individual who has so many promising characteristics. He is kind, compassionate and loving. He wants something more for himself but he takes a lot of pride of where he came from," Agresta said.
She also believes Malik will respond favorably to juvenile court programs for rehabilitation if he is found guilty.
Linda Mays, Trent's mother, presented the judge with about 50 letters written by people in support of her son. She said Trent always has been a good student and was currently in the scholars program at the high school. She said he has never been in trouble in or out of school.
She said the family is devastated about what happened and their son's arrest.
"I am not able to sleep. He got taken away from us in the middle of the night. I wake up every night and he isn't there," she said.
She added that her son should be treated as a juvenile.
Brian Mays, the father, said he talked to his son about the allegation, and his son has always been straight forward and hasn't changed his story. Lipps cautioned the father he didn't want to hear what was said.
The father said his son should remain in the juvenile system if found guilty.
Michael Haney, a Big Red varsity basketball coach, said Malik has exceptional talent as a basketball player and, as a freshman, was named to the first-team all district squad. Malik also was ranked in the top 100 high-school basketball players in the state.
Reno Saccoccia, Big Red football coach, said Malik was only on the varsity team for about four months. He said Malik had a lot of adversity growing up and said Malik's character was more developed than other sophomores on the team.
Brumby said everyone who testified said the juveniles charged are good students and athletes, but she said they had every available resource.
"They knew better than to treat a girl as they did," Brumby said.
She said the juveniles didn't stand up for the victim who was intoxicated and passed out.
"Instead of helping her, they sexually assaulted her," Brumby said, adding they proceeded to humiliate her by sending naked pictures of her. "That takes the crime to a whole new level."
Madison said Malik Richmond deserves the opportunity and rehabilitative services of juvenile court if found guilty. Nemann said, "Across the board, nothing has been presented that is indicative that these young men should be treated as adults."
Lipps said he believed the juveniles are mature enough for the case to be transferred to adult court. But, he said, weighing all the factors, the juveniles charged should remain in the juvenile court system.
Lipps released Mays to his parents and Richmond to the Agrestas.
Both juveniles will be on electronically monitored house arrest and only allowed to leave the home for school and church. Richmond and Mays will attend the juvenile court alternative school. Lipps said he didn't want the juveniles to have contact with fellow students what have testified or may testify in the future.
The juveniles also were ordered not to have contact with the victim.

Mixed Messages Rattle Yen
Investors trading the Japanese yen on Tuesday got a bad case of whiplash, after a series of statements from top policy makers first appeared to tacitly approve, then criticize, Japan's quest for a cheaper currency.
The result was a drop in the yen to near a three-year low in early morning trading in New York, followed by a jump of almost 1% in just under two minutes a few hours later.
The conflicting statements came at a tense time in currency markets. Japan and other developed countries have been pouring money into their financial system, pushing down their currencies in the hopes of spurring their economies. Though they have been successful so far, many traders have been anticipating backlash from leaders of other countries that get hurt as their own currencies rise.
A meeting of the Group of 20 finance ministers later this week is expected to focus on the threat posed by exceptionally loose monetary policy in the developed world, which has sent an avalanche of capital into some emerging markets.
However, early Tuesday the Group of Seven industrialized nations issued a statement that appeared to imply approval of Japan's efforts to lower the yen.
The statement underscored comments from U.S. Treasury Undersecretary Lael Brainard at a news conference in Washington on Monday. "We support the efforts to reinvigorate growth and to end deflation in Japan," Mr. Brainard said.
Traders interpreted the comments as an endorsement of the yen's 20% weakening since late September.
The dollar rose to ¥94.41, close to its highest point since May 2010, on the G-7 statement, up from ¥94.35 late Monday in New York.
But a few hours later, Reuters, citing an unnamed G-7 official, said markets had misinterpreted the statement, which was meant to signal concern about excess moves in the yen.
That sent the yen soaring. The dollar tumbled to as low as ¥92.95.
In the early afternoon, traders' heads were spinning once again, after a U.K. official told Bloomberg the statements weren't about an individual currency or country, bumping the yen back down.
"Quite frankly, this is a mess," said Alan Ruskin, a strategist at Deutsche Bank DB 1.43 % in New York. Still, he said, any gains in the yen are likely to be temporary and the currency should soon resume its downward path.
The dissonance about whether the G-7 approves of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's explicit comments about the economic benefits of a weaker yen—and his public pressuring of the Bank of Japan to step up its bond-buying program—likely presages more vocal concern from members of the broader G-20 when they meet later this week in Moscow.
Representatives from emerging-market economies are expected to voice concerns that bond-buying programs in Japan, the U.S. and U.K. have flooded the world economy with newly printed money, putting upward pressure on currencies in developing markets and making their exports less competitive.
In the original statement, G-7 officials said they affirmed a long-standing commitment to "market-determined exchange rates and to consult closely in regard to foreign-exchange markets."
The officials also said that fiscal and monetary policies "have been and will remain oriented toward meeting our respective domestic objectives using domestic instruments, and that we will not target exchange rates."
"Everybody's checking their eyeglasses prescriptions, wondering what they missed in the original G-7 statement," says Axel Merk, head of $650 million Merk Investments. Mr. Merk adds, though, that he believes the intent of the original statement was "absolutely crystal clear."

I am writing a program that incorporates calculating the principal moment of inertia for a protein residue based on its component atom XYZ coordinates. I am exceedingly confused about which formulas to use in calculating principal moment of inertia for my situation.
Thus far my program does the following:
- Calculate elements (Ixx, Iyy, Izz, etc.) of symmetric matrix A
- Find the eigenvalues (and thus the principal moments of inertia)
The formulas I originally used to calculate the elements in step 1 were from pg. 5 of this document. However looking at Wikipedia, the formulas for the symmetric matrix elements are different.
I have also been scouring the internet and found open source code where the center of mass is subtracted from the x, y, and z coordinates before beginning calculation of elements Ixx, Iyy, Izz, etc.
Which formulas/algorithm do I use to calculate principal moment of inertia for my case? I'm not sure where to begin with picking which formulas to use. Is there a source that is accessible to those with a weak physics background that will help me understand which formula/algorithm to use in calculating principal moment of inertia?

Background: At home I spend quite some time talking with my life-partner about what we are doing, where we are going, how we are living together, what our different point of views are on the same situation, etc... being in a partnership requires a lot of communication for it to work. But both of us have a lot to do to achieve our individual goals, and I feel we should spend more time focusing on our own goals. I have a 40h job, train practically daily for triathlon, and also require some time to do nothing. I have trouble finding time for doing those things that I feel help me take the next step. Last night I stayed awake from 0:00 to 3:00 working on my project for self-employment, but I can't do that regularly. The only thing I feel that I can do less of, is spend time communicating with my life-partner, but I don't know how to decide weather the good of the group(our partnership) is worth more effort or my own priorities should come first.
Question: What is a good indicator that I'm over-communicating for the good of the group, and not acting enough on my own behalf? I'm currently only acting on feeling, but I'd like to be able to plan how my individual well being relates to the well being of the group I'm working in. I'm looking for a rational way to compare group and individual priorities.

We consider a flat rectangular plate moving horizontally in a vertical magnetic field,motion being in a direction perpendicular to the length of the plate. We have an emf=BLV between the tips,in the lenhgth wise direction[the axial emf]. During the formation of the axial emf a current flows along the length of the conductor. This current should get deflected in the lateral direction due to the existing magnetic field, producing a transverse emf between the lateral edges.If the tips are connected by a wire we have a closed circuit condition--we should simply have the Hall voltage between the lateral edges[in the direction of the motion].
Query: Would it be possible to use these voltages as supplementary power sourses in moving vehicles---in moving trains,cars ,aeroplanes etc? [We seem to have several ready-made parallel cells in these vehicles]

We know that you -can- willingly go prone as a minor action, but we're unsure as to the mechanics of recovering from it. Does it matter if you are knocked prone or willingly make yourself prone? And how do you unprone yourself? Is it a minor action as well? Do you have to make a saving throw for it, since it's listed under Conditions in the PHB?

Standing up from prone is a move action; it does not require a save.
From the Rules Compendium, p233:
From the Rules Compendium, p236:
It doesn't matter whether you were knocked prone or willingly dropped prone.
You can only make a saving throw to end an effect when the ability that inflicts the condition explicitly says that a save will end the effect. For example, if your ability inflicts
There are a few distinctly different parts to this that work independently which you seem to be confusing together, so I'll break things down a bit so you can hopefully understand what's going on.
A brief word on conditions
Those conditions aren't necessarily things that require saving throws. What they are is just mechanically meaningful states for your character to be in. They're pretty much just a small bundle of side effects tied up with an easy-to-reference name. That's all they are!
How are conditions applied?
They can be applied through any means. They're just little bundles of mechanics that any part of the rules (or your custom rules) can utilise - for instance, being out in a snowstorm too long could just leave you slowed until you do something about it. Unless the rule in question specifies otherwise, the condition just happens and no saving throws happen.
Most conditions are applied by powers, and most of the time, those will involve a saving throw. I'll get into that soon.
How are conditions ended?
It depends on the condition. Conditions can finish as immediately as they can begin. If you're prone, then if you stand up, you're no longer prone, and that's it. Standing up is a move action, as Oblivious Sage mentioned, whilst dropping prone to apply the Prone condition on yourself is a minor action (as the rules say). Other conditions might end via other means, like Dying being ended by a successful saving throw, or someone using the Heal skill successfully to apply first aid to someone dying.
Some conditions, like Dazed, don't specify any obvious way to be ended. That's fine, because whatever applies the Dazed condition will normally say how to end it. Monsters powers may apply it temporarily, and that brings us to our next point.
Where do saving throws come into it?
In the simplest case: when a monster applies a condition with save-ends, e.g. "... and the target is slowed (save ends)." In this circumstance, at the end of your turn, you make a saving throw against that condition (and other conditions, one by one) and if you succeed at your saving throw, the condition ends. Note that if, say, a monster knocks you prone, this saving throw doesn't happen when the condition is applied - it happens later, at the end of your turn.
I'm discussing conditions in general, there. A search in the compendium suggests there is only one monster that applies prone with a save-ends. You'll generally encounter the save-ends thing with other conditions.
In other circumstances, if a rule specifies, you'll be required (or offered the option) to make a saving throw against a condition. For instance, there are various powers from classes in the Leader role that will let you make a saving throw on any condition for free.
Mind you, this isn't the only way applied conditions end. It's just the way that involves saving throws.
Some examples (and possibly restatements) just to offer concrete circumstances!

Actually i'm trying to copy some business purpose files into root folder but it's not allowing to access the root folder. When i'm trying to change the permissions of the folder, its showing that you are not the owner so that you cant change the permissions of this directory. Please help me..
Hmm... instead of explaining how to change permissions on the root folder I'll just say "you should not copy business-purpose files anywhere outside your home folder"
Your home folder is for your files. Folders outside your home folder are for system files. Changing permissions of those folders is not considered a good practice.
Having said that, if you still want to copy files, you can do this by starting file manager in superuser mode by pressing Alt-F2 and typing
It'll ask you for your administrative password, after which you'll be able to copy files.
You should not, IMO, be changing ownership or permissions on system file, including /root.
If you need to copy files to /root use sudo or gksu
In order to change anything that require root permissions "Superuser" you must have root access capabilities. This must be done by providing the root password in order to change the files. You can either do this in a few different ways. Examples:
After typing the following command it will prompt your for the root password in which you will provide and hit enter. If it is accepted then you will have full capabilities to do whatever you want on the system.
Another way is to use sudo before every command that requires root permissions. Example:
In which this case /etc/passwd is a file that is read only to all users besides root and requires root permissions in order to change. After typing this command you will still be prompted for a root passwd.

Officers recount the panic and the calm during Ogden shootout
Brian Nicholson, Deseret News
OGDEN — Sgt. Steve Zaccardi remembers a sense of calm coming over him as he left the search warrant operation at 3268 Jackson Ave. to transport fellow Ogden police officer Shawn Grogan to a hospital.
"I saw a police car, a Dodge Charger coming in, as I came out my lights hit it and reflected and I said, 'They got there quick,'" Zaccardi testified Wednesday. "A sense of calm came over me, like, 'Help's here.' … I knew there wasn't a patrolman on our (operation), so I knew that help had arrived."
At the time, Zaccardi thought the gunshot wound to Grogan's face was the worst of the injuries sustained when the Weber-Morgan Narcotics Strike Force went to serve a search warrant at the home of Matthew Stewart. Zaccardi drove the officer to McKay-Dee Hospital and planned to call his fellow sergeant and supervisor, Nate Hutchinson, for an update on the Jackson Avenue operation.
He had returned to the car to secure Grogan's weapon and was walking back into the hospital when a nurse came rushing by and said, "We got four more coming."
"It was panic in the E.R.," Zaccardi said. "I had a feeling what it was, but I didn't want to believe it. I was hoping and praying. The next thing I know I see agent Draper with Kasey Burrell wheeling him in. (Burrell's) face is covered in blood. … (Officer Michael) Rounkles comes around the corner on a stretcher. He kind of gives me a thumbs up.
"Then Hutchinson comes around the corner and he's walking. He said he's been shot. I had this panic. For the first time in my career, I didn't know what to do."
When the encounter finally ended, Ogden police officer Jared Francom was dead and five other officers were injured in the shootout at Stewart's home.
The description was part of a three-day preliminary hearing on the evidence against Stewart, a hearing begun Wednesday in 2nd District Court as a handful of Stewart backers stood outside the courthouse raising their voices in support of the man accused of killing an officer and injurying five others.
The case against Stewart
Zaccardi said he first received a tip in September 2011 that Stewart was cultivating an indoor marijuana garden in the basement of his home. He assigned the case to a strike force agent, Roy police officer Jason Vanderwarf.
Grogan testified that he went to the home to try and make contact with Stewart. Zaccardi said other officers did as well. But no one ever responded to knocks on the door. While police saw evidence of marijuana, Zacardi said they weren't sure if anyone lived at the home.
Vanderwarf obtained a "knock and announce" warrant at the home authorizing the officers to enter the house after announcing their presence. A briefing was held Jan. 4 for those agents assigned to the operation and they then gathered nearby at an LDS church before proceeding.
Grogan was the first to knock on the door and announce that they were police officers.
"It's extremely loud," Grogan testified. "He's yelling into the house. … The timeframe would have allowed somebody to make the trip from the far end of the home to this south door at least several times."
Vanderwarf knocked at least four times, according to Zaccardi. Francom was tasked with ramming the door. It took three tries to break through.
"I had a brief little conversation with agent Francom right there at the door, then he went in," Zaccardi said. "So, I believe Jared was the last guy in. In fact, I know he was. … He said, 'Sarge, I didn't get my record of one hit on the door.' He was a big guy, a strong guy. He had a reputation of getting (through) doors on one hit."

More Young Conservatives: Front Porch Republic
On the heels of the announcement of Ross Douthat becoming an op-ed columnist for the NYT, I thought this might be an opportune moment to point out another faint sign of life sprouting from the ash-heap of American conservatism.It's a new online magazine or blog or whatever these websites are called -- Front Porch Republic. It's motto is "Place. Limits. Liberty."I have a natural interest in FPR. As I mentioned in my inaugural post, I literally grew up within the conservative intellectual movement. Bill Buckley was my first boss.But even as an undergraduate at Hillsdale College -- academic Mecca for young conservatives -- I became deeply uncomfortable with the way mainstream conservatism was moving in the late 1970s -- with its unthinking support of corporate capitalism, its penchant for militarism and willingness to play world policeman, and its unbridled appetite for the self-righteous posturing of the culture wars.I was always more attracted by the "traditionalist" wing of conservatism, with its emphasis on the delicate nature of the social fabric, mediated by place and region and "intermediate institutions," its minimalist -- if not isolationist -- tendencies in foreign policy, and its stress on the more or less equal dangers of big business and big government.The folks over at Front Porch Republic represent the best of this strain of conservatism -- which owes a great deal to Catholic social thought, including the idea of subsidiarity. And of course to Southern Agrarianism and Chestertonian Distributism. Perhaps it should come as no surprise that many of the contributors are Catholic. (Of course the vaguely Protestant Wendell Berry is perhaps the single most important exemplar of FPR's vision.)They're also a pretty young group. I suspect there's some sort of generational thing going on with them -- I suspect that most of them would not be ardent disciples of the conservatives refined in the fires of the 1960s -- Michael Novak, say, or the late Fr. Neuhaus.Though it's a new website, there's already a great deal of energy, wit, and trenchant analysis to be found at Front Porch Republic. Sure, casting your eyes casually over their site you might a few things that are a bit off-putting or strange -- their blogroll includes "The Tory Anarchist" and "Conservative Heritage Times." And yes, it is highly unlikely that the FPR will be adopted by Republican Party operatives and become a viable political force any time soon -- so you might be tempted to write them off as descendents of Don Quixote -- but these guys are, well, smart, and maybe even a little prophetic.I may be wrong, but I happen to think that Catholics of whatever political stripe would find dialogue with the FPR crowd invigorating. I mean, if subsidiarity means anything, then Catholics ought to be wary of the path we're heading down -- wedding the Leviathan state to multinational capitalism. We should all care about the preservation of three endangered species: "Place. Limits. Liberty."

I've never been able to embrace conservatism, but there are areas where conservatives make sense, and it's always good to hear that the movement has logical, thoughtful and articulate spokespeople who provide balance and challenge to liberals like me.Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks much for posting this notice on FPR. This looks like a very thoughtful site. I am fortunate to be at an institution that houses the Chesterton Review, and because of its editor, Dermot Quinn, I have been familiar with a conservatism that is far more critical of the military-industrial-corporate capitalist complex than anything that passes for mainstream politics, and also has something humanizing to offer. While I am not ready to go all Burkean, this view, which interestingly dovetails with much of what I suspect Dorothy Day was after, is a crucial leaven not to be missed
Jews, Christians and Muslims affirm that creation is a free gift from a free and single Creator. I read the piece in Front Porch by Mark Shiffman entitled The Rationality of the Doctrine of Creation. This is a little of what Mr. Shiffman tells us: "Thus, reason tells us that the only way to explain why there is order at all in the universe is to appeal to something that transcends that order. Something that transcends the confines that structure the universe transcends space and time. It transcends the confines of all finite limits and all oppositions. It transcends the opposition between changing and unchanging, between unity and multiplicity, between simple and complex. It transcends the requirement that everything that exists be caused by something other than itself."If we want to give an account of what may be responsible for the orderliness of the universe, the cause (if cause is the right word) will unavoidably have some of the features of the God that Jews, Christians and Muslims believe in as the Creator. It is reason that tells us so..."I think this is insightful. I am very glad I know about Front Porch. Chances are I will not embrace conservatism. Nevertheless I look forward to learning from the people who contribue to FPR. Perhaps what tanscends order in the universe is relationship but that is another story.
Intolerant liberals as well as intolerant conservatives are repugnant. The W administration was painful for many responsible convervatives. The problems is not so much the volume on either side. It is when either side starts to lie and fabricate that makes the process repelling. It is nigh impossible not to approach the edges once in a while granting the egoism of human nature. It is a decisive error to applaud either side indiscriminately. Liturgists who imposed wild choreagraphy without regard to the attending people are just as reprehensible as rigorous ones who won't depart from the Mass of Pius V. When there is transparency and honesty much good can happen.Writing this feels boring. It is common sense. Not quite common I guess.
Liturgists who imposed wild choreagraphy without regard to the attending people are just as reprehensible as rigorous ones who wont depart from the Mass of Pius V.In your eyes, perhaps. Not the Church's. The Gregorian mass - which is really what it is, since Pius V introduced no new innovations to the Roman missal as it already existed - nourished the faith of Catholics and their saints in most of the West for...a millenium and a half, longer if you go back to its antecedents under Damasus. It is really not appropriate to equate clown masses and leotards with celebration of this ancient rite, which was, after all, the missal celebrated at Vatican II and by Bl. John XXIII. Most celebrants of the extraordinary form simply love it for the reverence and connection to Catholic tradition, not as a political statement for the Bourbon monarchy or anti-Jewish fulminations. Most (nearly all) are not rejecting of the Paul VI missal per se, either. There's a kernel of your point that is sensible, however, which is why I also applaud the advent of Front Porch Republic.
But R.M., it's also true that people who are (or were) too aggressive with liturgical dance aren't necessarily rejecting older forms of the liturgy. I don't think Bill's comparison is quite as inappropriate as you suggest. I'm awfully tired of hearing about these "clown masses," by the way, but we're getting pretty far off the topic now...
Hello Mollie,I certainly don't want to chase this too far down the rabbit hole, either."Clown masses" was certainly my embroidery, but not, I think, an unreasonable one out of Bill's "wild choreography." While they exist more in legend than in fact (rare enough that I have never experienced one), some other excesses are more common, such as liturgical dancing, ad libbing fixed prayers, etc. Those who did so, especially "without regard to the people," I share Bill's rejection thereof, of course. Whatever one thinks of the old mass or even "reform of the reform" I think there's a growing consensus that many of the post 1969 changes were rammed through with too little thought or wide consultation among the laity, and I think this colors Pope Benedict's reluctance to push very far or very fast with any changes to the liturgy in the ordinary form. As to whether any rejection of the older liturgy is implicated...this has certainly been my experience, or at least of the liturgists who designed and implement such experimentations (for whom a mere suggestion of a Latin Agnus Dei or an occasional bit of chant is very frequently treated like request to perform live taxidermy during mass); empirical evidence, to put it mildly, is not hard to come by. It's harder to speak to individual participants. If you mean to speak of traditionalists who reject the Paul VI mass root and branch as invalid or illegitimate, I won't argue that point. And if that is what Bill meant, then he might be onto something. I just didn't take that away from the way he expressed himself ("who won't depart from the Mass of Pius V").But to get back to what I think is Bill's real point, which is about extremism, especially those which lead to unvirtuous deformities (Holocaust denial, radical theological dissent, torture apologetics, and yes, liturgical intolerance), and how it might be nice to turn a new page - no argument from me. Or not on that point. I think that a lot of what you'll see at Front Porch Republic, as Gregory notes, doesn't always fit easily into established categories or certainly not popular talking points. I think that can only be helpful, especially for a political movement now in the wilderness and fumbling about to find a way out of it, especially as an alternative to one very loud voice which commands 20 million radio listeners and the trepidation of Michael Steele.
Mr. Wolfe --Thanks for the recommendation. It looks quite interesting. I note that some of the participats are very attached to disttirbutivism and agrarianism. I can understand the appeal of distributivism, though I wonder whether it has answers to some of the extremely complex problems facing this over-populated world. It's the appeal of agrarianism I can't understand at all. I have great respect for the critic and poet John Crowe Ransom, one of the founders of the movemet, as well as for Alan Tate, poet-critic who excoriated the industrialized mega-cities which sprung up around the 3arly 20th century. . But Ransom eventually repudiated the movement, as did Robert Penn Warren, another of the founders. (I don't know whether Tate did.) What is there about agrarianism that still has appeal these days? Oh, I'd love to live in an ecologically sound world that retains the beauty God conferred on it, but farming for everyone? Or what is it all about these days?
I attended a priest's "first mass" at his home parish about 25 years ago outside St. Louis: women in leotards dancing up the aisle and later all over and around the altar. I'm a liberal --- generally speaking --- but even I found this element too offputting. I don't recall all else that transpired, but it was the most outrageous liturgy I had (and have to date) ever attended. Coming out of the church that day, I heard a group of middle-aged priests chatting amongst themselves about the event. One of them said, "I bet people won't ever forget this mass!" For sure.And, yet, that's the only time since Vatican II that I've ever witnessed what I think a reasonable guy would consider liturgical excess.My 40+ years support Mollie here.
I, for one, have never seen a clown mass, nor do I know of ANYONE who has! And this is in the bastion of Uberliberalism, Northern California!However, some of the clips that I have seen of those hankering for the Bad Old Days of clerical puffery border on clown-like appearance.Now polka masses .... that's something different.
Ann:Agrarianism is hardly frozen in the year 1930, when I'll Take My Stand was published. Some Southern Agrarians of that earlier generation were unable to transcend the racist assumptions of their time, just like many of their Progressive contemporaries. That said, I'm not sure a "farming for everyone" approach was the point then, and it certainly isn't now. If, like Wendell Berry, you're appalled at the accelerating degradation of ecosystems and human communities from unsustainable practices such as mountain top removal or corporate farm monoculture; if, like Michael Pollan and Barbara Kingsolver, you're beginning to recognize the the complex connections between the foods we eat, the land it now grows on, and the immense costs hidden in food production; if, like Norman Wirzba, you have ever pondered the ways in which industrialization and technology provide less rather than more time to enjoy our lives in the created world, then you might find something of interest in these "new" agrarians. Any of the authors I just mentioned would be good starting places (there are many more), though -- for a quick survey -- you might read The Essential Agrarian Reader: The Future of Culture, Community, and the Land, published in 2003 by University of Kentucky Press. Norman Wirzba's introductory essay in that volume, "Why Agrarianism Matters -- Even to Urbanites," may be particularly helpful.
Thanks, Mr. Wolfe, I do have a great deal of sympathy with such thinking. And, yes, I'm stuck in 1930 as far as agrarianism goes. If it were called "the New Agragianism" I think it would have more appeal. As I see it, what is needed is to bring nature into our concrete cities. One reason Paris is so lovely is because it has all those little pocked parks. I'm hoping that New Orleans, where I live, will have the sense to turn a good many of the now-empty blocks here into little parks. Some good would come out of the storm. But I suspect agrarianism today is more a state of mind -- one which refuses t o accept the rat race of getting and spending as man's last end. Actually, I was about to read some Alan Tatee when your post appeared. I hope we'll hear moree from you :-) By the way, might you know of any organization whose purpose is to reform industrial farming so that farm animals in those industrial farms are not treated so cruelly? There is PETA, but it is for vegetarians, which I am not. I've been looking for such an organization for years. There is one in England, and I've read there's a small local one in California, but I'm looking for a broader group. The way we treat those animals is a total disgrace. Or does anyone else on the blog know of one? St. Francis is not going to bless us!
Thanks for all the comments -- even the jag on clown masses and liturgical dance, which took on a life of its own -- was fun to read. I'm especially grateful to Brian for demonstrating that agrarianism does simply involve mere nostalgia or fantasy. Actually, you're inspiring my next post....
Mr. Volck-I apologize for confusing you with Mr. Wolfe. I didn't realize there was another agrarianist on the blog. (Is "agrarianist" the right word? Or is ot "agrarian"? Or what?)

Any That 70's Show fans out there?
It's one of those rare box sets I can just watch over and over again and never get bored. I've got every episode and love em' all, even some of the dreaded last season has some great moments.
Here's my question, out of all the times I've been watching the discs (I have no order, I just randomly select one), I can't find the episode where Red calls Eric "Mr. Nude". I don't remember what the episode was about, what season it was or what the hell the episode was called. It's driving me nuts! I love the way Red delivers that line, it had me laughing in hysterics. If anyone knows the episode and what disc and season it's on and perhaps the name could you please solve this question for me? It's been going on for months!
