Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2070 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
WMA Acquisition Triggers Increased Conservation of Unique Habitat
Tom Patrick is walking across a chalk prairie on Oaky Woods Wildlife Management Area, pointing out plants that should or shouldn't be there and occasionally wiping at sweat raised by the sweltering summer morning.
Drought has shriveled the summer rush of wildflower blooms that can blanket these areas yellow and purple. Even recent rains can't erase the cracks fracturing the clay surface into jigsaw puzzle shapes.
Patrick, a botanist with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, scoops some of the gray-white soil. When wet, it can bog a four-wheel-drive pickup, one reason locals call these prairies "gumbo flats." Yet when dry, the clay turns powdery. "It's like talc," Patrick says, his fingers dusted white.
This limestone-rich clay is the calling card of Atlantic Coastal Plain chalk prairies. According to Patrick, the high pH, shrink-and-swell soil left over from ancient seas and seashells favors a unique suite of plants, from yellow prairie coneflower and Dakota vervain in the openings to Durand and chinquapin oaks, Biltmore ash, redbud, Carolina buckthorn and other trees along the edges.
Like other so-called Blackland prairies, chalk prairies are a globally rare habitat. Found only along a shoreline that once curved from middle Georgia through north Alabama, the grasslands have been decimated by agriculture, as well as fire suppression that encourages less fire-tolerant plants. Oaky Woods features some of the Atlantic slopes' best remaining chalk prairies.
Plans for the 13,000-acre WMA near Warner Robins include restoring and expanding the openings to 400 or more acres, said Bobby Bond, a wildlife biologist with the DNR's Wildlife Resources Division's Game Management Section.
"The biggest step right now is to introduce fire back into all the prairies … and hopefully get everything on a two-year (burn) rotation," Bond said, adding that low-impact tree removal is also a possibility.
Biologist Nathan Klaus, who, like Patrick, works Wildlife Resources' Nongame Conservation Section, sees rich opportunities for restoration. That effort may involve mowing prairie edges where planted pines or a crush of shrubs and native trees have closed in. "We're just trying to push that stuff back and jumpstart the fire ecology," Klaus said.
Chalk prairies and black bears were two conservation targets when the state bought 10,000 acres of the four-decades-old WMA, long a mid-state haven for black bears. The December acquisition led to the discovery of other prairie restoration sites at Oaky Woods, thanks to insights from area manager Raye Jones and analysis of aerial imagery.
The Wildlife Resources Division also quickly made plans to burn more of Grand Prairie, the WMA's largest chalk prairie. What had been a 25-acre prescribed fire – the usual for Grand Prairie – grew to about 100 acres in February.
The flames killed or singed plants like persimmon, red cedar and loblolly pine that are not normally abundant on chalk prairies, making room for the grasses, sedges and herbs that are more natural fits. The vegetation attracts a buzz of pollinators such as butterflies and native bumblebees, as well as wildlife like deer and quail. The prairies provide valuable brood and nesting habitat for turkeys.
Recently at Grand Prairie, Patrick pointed out Boykin's milkwort, a rare plant with whorled leaves and white blooms, and the only known Coastal Plain occurrence of Georgia aster, a candidate for federal listing.
"We pretty much know what's there," he said. "We're moving into a phase where we're trying to determine how to manage these areas."

Answered: [Solved] Leaflet offline map graphical glitch with offline tiles
After much fiddling and months of reading, I've come to the conclusion that Leaflet maps with Mapbox map layers is a great solution for an offline map (Mapbox has some of the best looking maps I have seen). It's not so bad to implement once you find a way of grabbing all the tiles from somewhere (or extracting the files from the .mbtiles archive, like I did).
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had any idea why, in my Leaflet tab of my Sencha Touch app, where I have a remote URL like this:
var cloudmade = new L.TileLayer('http://{s}.tiles.mapbox.com/v3/mapbox.blue-marble-topo-bathy-jul/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', { maxZoom: 8 });
...but when I reference it locally I get this:
It seems like the tiles are there, but they are messed up. Any ideas why this might be happenening?
Solved! Those nice guys over at Mapbox support replied with this:
'mbutil exports tiles in TMS scheme, not XYZ. You can specify scheme: 'tms' in Leaflet to fix the error you're seeing'
This is great, I can finally use Leaflet correctly with beautiful maps offline!

sample of this working
Do you by change have a full example of this working, I am trying to do the same thing.
30 Aug 2012 8:46 AM #4
I don't have access to my machine right now, but I used the leaflet extension from here:
If your not sure how to install plugins read here:
Try putting that in a tabpanel.....then use the URL like this:
var cloudmade = new L.TileLayer('http://{s}.tiles.mapbox.com/v3/mapbox.blue-marble-topo-bathy-jul/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', { maxZoom: 8, scheme: 'TMS' });
To get the map tiles you will have to download .mbtile files and unarchive them using the mbutil command line (was a bit of a pain to setup to be honest, but stick with it and try a test small .mbtile file first as a test)

Hi digeridoopoo,
I'm looking for a offline solutions for maps, as I'm on programming a mobile application for a region with limited network availability. Now, I've seen, that you already dug quite deep into this topic. Before reinventing the wheel I thought I could ask you for some instructions as I did not find any concrete step by step guide or similar for this things.
As far as I understood, I already got Leaflet working with SenchaTouch2. Found it on a link you supported for github. Am I right, that I need to get some .mbtiles files from mapbox now in order to extract them? Or is there any other options to get the tiles to my local storage?
After downloading them, all I have to do is to reference it locally when creating a layer, right? The only thing to be aware of is the scheme thingy?
In the end I want to have the complete region available offline in 3 or 4 zoom levels.
I would appreciate every help!
Thanks a lot in advance!
Kind regards!

Awesome, thank you for the information.
6 Sep 2012 6:22 AM #7
Just as an information. I skipped the part with mapbox and tilemill. Found a solution with JTileDownloader. It's an Java application and you can specify a bounding box, zoomlevels and a renderer. The program will then download the tiles for you. Super easy.
All you have to do then is specify the local URL in your layer for the map. ==> done.
EDIT: Didn't get it running on a Mac, so I had to use a Windows machine for downloading the tiles.
6 Sep 2012 2:38 PM #8
You've pretty much got the steps correct...if you google search 'tiles mapbox' and click one of those links from google it will take you to a page. If you click share you can see the direct links which you can copy and paste into the safari download manager. Then you can use the mbutil to unarchive (or if I remember correctly, you can just google search .mbtiles and something should come up)
11 Sep 2012 11:33 PM #9
thanks for the hint.
I was already successful using the jTileDownloader to get the desired tiles. And offline maps work perfect. The only issue is that the amount of data is huge! Specially zoom level 17 and 18.
The other option would be to render the map on the mobile device. But I guess there is no proper solution for this, right? I heard of some app for iOS (I think it was offmaps?). In version 2 the developer tried to go this way. But the costumers are complaining about the speed of the app. Are there any hints in this direction?

4.0.6 just dropped today, and fixed this problem for me.
28 Sep 2011 11:56 AM #12
This solution solved it for us
We had a few lines of javascript above the Ext.application({...}) in our app.js file. For us, this produces the error. When we removed those lines it solved our problem.
18 Oct 2011 11:56 PM #13
I got the same.. And I fixed it
I am new to extJs. I also got the same error message Undefined is not an Object. When I checked in detail the xtype I gave was incorrect. I believe this error occurs when U gave an incorrect xtype.
19 Oct 2011 7:29 AM #14
Often, The Error Can Be Ignored
I have found that the error is produced when I use a static html file vs one served from http:// But the jsb3 file is fine.
I get the error from this command:
sencha create jsb -a index.html -p app.jsb3
But not this command using http://:
sencha create jsb -a http://localhost:9090/app/index.html -p app.jsb3
But in both cases, the jsb3 file is fine. I didn't realize this at first...I assumed the error caused a failure to build the file.

RICHMOND, Va. - The nationally-ranked Charlotte 49ers (6-2-2, A-10: 0-1-0) fell on the road at VCU (5-1-3, A-10: 1-0-0), 4-1, in both team's Atlantic 10 opener. The 49ers entered the game ranked 13th in the Soccer America and NSCAA polls.
"It is unacceptable," Charlotte coach Kevin Langan. "Our performance tonight is unacceptable and below the standards that we have set for our program. It hurts tonight but we don't have much time to feel sorry for ourselves as we have to get ready for Richmond on Sunday."
VCU scored the game's first goal when Mario Herrera Meraz converted on a penalty kick in the 26th minute.
Charlotte tied the score at one when Isaac Caughran corralled a deflection and then put the ball into the lower right corner of the goal in the 39th minute. Caughran's goal was his first of the season and the eighth of his career.
VCU regained the lead for good when Devon Fisher scored off assists from Juan Monge Solano and Meraz in the 42nd minute.
VCU's Jason Johnson made the score, 3-1, when he scored off a Juan Arbelaez assist in the 63rd minute.
VCU's Garrett Harvey made the final score, 4-1, when he put a Meraz corner kick into the back of the net in the 71st minute.
Charlotte finished the game with a 10-8 advantage in shots. Donnie Smith and Giuseppe Gentile led the 49ers with two shots apiece.
Charlotte concludes their A-10 road trip to Virginia when they face Richmond on the road, Sunday, October 7 at 2:30 pm.

Style Keeps On Trucking
Mobile Boutiques Sell Fashion From Repurposed Trucks
Schnitzel, waffles and spring rolls aren't the only treats that New Yorkers can buy on four wheels. Mobile boutiques are cropping up, peddling scarves, sweaters and baubles.
Rolling retailers, a mainstay on the West Coast, are appearing at flea markets, private parties and, occasionally, on city streets. The repurposed trucks offer clothes, jewelry and accessories in spaces where food products were once stored.
But while the entrepreneurs are excited about an affordable way to start a business and a novel backdrop for enticing customers, some are frustrated by city regulations that restrict the number of mobile businesses—and where they can set up shop.
Fashion on the Go
Joey Wolffer, 31 years old of Manhattan, a great-great-granddaughter of a founder of the U.K. retailer Marks & Spencer, MAKSY -0.59 % turned a 20-foot-long potato-chip delivery truck into the high-end Styleliner three years ago. The vehicle brims with hand-painted T-shirts and handbags from designers such as Beirut-based Sarah Beydoun, whose artisans are women in prison in Lebanon. Prices range from $30 to $1,800.
"We're just trying to keep retail interesting, because I think in these times, these economic times, you have to do different things," said Ms. Wolffer.
In between trips to Palm Beach, Fla., and the Hamptons, she and her business partner, Sara Droz, park for a few weeks in Lower Manhattan. She said they thought they were in compliance with the city's regulations.
But they weren't. Peddling is allowed on sidewalks and other public places with a general vendor license, though the city limits the number available to 853 at a time, and the waiting list for new ones is closed. (An exception is made for veterans.) But selling goods from a parked vehicle is prohibited, according to the Department of Consumer Affairs.
Temporary street-fair vendor permits, though, are available for authorized fairs, block parties and festivals, a provision many fashion trucks are taking advantage of. Yolanda Rapp, 42, of Manhattan, for example, sells new fashions and vintage Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent from Le Fashion Coupe at the GreenFlea Market on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
While would-be merchants would like to see more options, the City Council has no plans to take up the issue, said City Councilman Daniel Garodnick, chairman of the council's Consumer Affairs Committee. Legislators are considering regulation changes for food trucks, which have exploded in popularity in recent years and are governed separately.
"This has not presented itself as a significant issue in New York City yet," he said. "The food trucks are already present and we are now trying to deal with a set of rules that make sense for them."
"We'll have to see whether they become a thing," he said.
San Francisco and Boston are considering regulations aimed at allowing the trucks room to operate while still protecting brick-and-mortar stores, such as considering locations where trucks can be permitted. Boston views the trucks as business incubators, said Lauren Shurtleff, a senior planner for the city.
"We want to foster that rather than turn our backs to it," she said.
Nationwide, the number of mobile fashion trucks appears to be growing. The American Mobile Retail Association has grown from five members in California in 2011 to about 70 nationwide, said Stacey Steffe, one of the founders who runs Le Fashion Truck in Los Angeles. She said buying and outfitting a truck could cost between $15,000 and $60,000.
Despite the fuzzy legal ground, mobile fashion trucks can be spotted across the city. Thirty-six-year-old Nneka Green-Ingram, a former sailor who has a coveted general vendor license, got sick of setting up shop along a sidewalk on 125th Street in Harlem where she operated for about four years. "I was tired of being outside, in the rain, snow, burning heat," she said.
So in November, she transformed a former Cheetos delivery truck into an emporium of jewelry, accessories and clothes and, when she isn't traveling, she is parked at the same spot on 125th Street. Her pieces are geared toward clients who want to dress like celebrities, she said.
Ms. Green-Ingram bristles at criticism from members of an Upper East Side community board. Michele Birnbaum, the chairwoman of Community Board 8's vendor task force, said she personally doesn't think New York City benefits from the proliferation of retail trucks. "I see no upside," she said.
For now, some trucks are sticking with spots in New Jersey, where some municipalities allow trucks to sell goods on the street. The Hoboken-based Chic Rattle and Roll was started in December by two new mothers, 28-year-old Danielle Mazzurco and Lisa Dunn, 35. It combines Ms. Mazzurco's love for rock 'n' roll and Ms. Dunn's more feminine style by peddling vintage Van Halen T-shirts and flowing dresses.
"We've gone through so many hoops to deal with all the issues in New York City," Ms. Mazzurco said.
Still, some fashionistas are hopeful that they someday could be parked on city streets. Jessie Goldenberg, 24, launched her truck, the bohemian-themed Nomad, last month. While she mostly operates in the suburbs, she longs to set up shop in Brooklyn.
And she is leaving behind her dreams of opening a brick-and-mortar boutique. "Now I want a fleet of trucks," she said.

Third Trimester 1stTrimester 2ndTrimester
55 days to go...
Your baby today
In this image the hands are folded over beneath the chin and there's a foot up by the mouth and nose. It can look as if your baby is quite a contortionist but because he is still quite skinny, the joints allow for a great deal of flexibility.
If you feel you have little control over your own body, it's natural to think your figure will never be normal again-but it will!
At this stage of the third trimester, you'll still be gaining 1-2 lb (0.5-1 kg) per week but weight gain tends to slow down in the last few weeks of pregnancy. By now, your belly will have stretched and your belly button may have popped out-this can be quite protruding and may be seen through your clothes (see Protruding navel). You may have developed a linea nigra in your second trimester, a dark line of pigmentation down the center of your abdomen (see ... Doctor).
Like most women you are probably happy and excited about having a baby but a little concerned about getting your figure back after the birth. Some women get quite upset at the thought that their abdomens may not return to their previous shape, and this is completely normal. Rest assured that with a bit of hard work and exercise and the continuation of your healthy pregnancy diet after the birth, your figure can return to its pre-pregnancy state and your belly button should pop back to its normal shape of its own accord. The key is to remember it will take a bit of time: it did, after all, take nine months to gain the weight.
Ask A... Doctor
Yes. Many women do, so they don't waste any maternity leave before baby. Check with your doctor to make sure it's okay for you. Think carefully before making this decision. Late pregnancy can be extremely tiring and, if your job is mentally and/or physically taxing, it may be better to begin your leave before your due date. You will also need time to prepare for the arrival of your baby.
Focus On... Nutrition
Fabulous fiber
Fiber is very important in the third trimester, since it will help your digestive system work more efficiently. Dietary fiber-the indigestible part of plant foods-is the best natural way to keep the bowels regular. Most pregnant women who eat a diet based upon whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, are likely to be getting enough fiber.
Pregnant women should aim for 1 oz (25 g) of fiber daily. To give a sense of what it takes to achieve this, there are around 3 g in a medium avocado or banana, or a serving of broccoli, blueberries, brown rice, or beans. Eating three or four servings of fruit a day, vegetables with your meals, and eating whole-grain breads and brown rice will provide plenty.
Fiber makes you feel fuller sooner and longer, and can help to prevent overeating and excess weight gain. It also contributes to the management of diabetes, lowers cholesterol, and decreases the risk of heart disease.

I have read some papers where the authors perform simulations at constant pressure and constant volumen or sometimes constant volume constant temperature. My question is when is it better to use one or the other? For which systems it would be ok to perform constant p-t and for which would be better constant v-t?
This question is not really answerable as it stands, because "it depends".. a good rule of thumb is that you should consider what the real system you're modeling is doing.
In a cell, this would probably be constant pressure, constant temperature (an NPT-ensemble).
However, when you construct molecular dynamics setups you need to minimize and equilibrate structures all the time, and then you might need other regulators. For example if you have managed to create a vacuum bubble somewhere in your structure and you hope to let water fill it in and smooth out your fiddling, a constant pressure regulator could go berserk and then you'd probably start with a constant volume constant temperature (NVT) regulation.
If you're doing this at a university, ask around, I'm sure you'll hear as many equilibration protocols as the people you ask :)
The choice doesn't depend on the system but on the properties you want to measure (which means that it depends on the computational experiments you need to perform).
In NPT: Pressure is constant. Volume (and density) is changing.
In NVT: Pressure is changing. Volume (and density) is constant.
So, for example, if you want to plot a property A of your system vs pressure at constant density (or volume) then you use NVT. If you want to plot property A vs volume (or density) at constant pressure, then you use NPT.

WACO (February 6, 2013)--Nancy Foley of Killeen was sentenced to federal prison Wednesday after she pleaded guilty earlier to sex trafficking of children in a case in which girls were brought to Central Texas to work as prostitutes.
U.S. District Judge Walter S. Smith, Jr., sentenced Foley to four years in prison to be followed by three years on supervised release, and ordered her to pay a $1,000 fine and a $100 special assessment to the court.
Foley's accomplice, Jerome Maurice Cole, has pleaded guilty to similar charges, but has not yet been sentenced.
Federal criminal complaints and affidavits show that police began an investigation in April 2012 after learning there was evidence that at least three girls, all of whom were younger than 18, were brought to Killeen to work as prostitutes.
Agents were able to establish that photographs of the girls had been stored on Cole's cellular telephone and had been transmitted to an Internet website that advertised women as prostitutes in the Killeen area.
Further investigation showed the inappropriate photographs of the girls had been taken using Foley's cell phone and later were transmitted via text message to Cole's cell phone.
Police first received a message from a woman that she believed her daughter, who was a run-away, was staying in the Killeen area and could have been tricked into becoming a prostitute.

There is a common myth that water flowing out from a sink should rotate in direction governed by on which hemisphere we are; this is shown false in many household experiments, but how to show it theoretically?
The Coriolis acceleration goes like $-2\omega \times v$, which for the sake of an order of magnitude estimate we can take to be $a\sim \omega v$. But in order to get an observable effect, we don't just need an acceleration, we need a difference in acceleration between the two ends of the tub, which are separated by some distance $L\sim 1$ m. The accelerations differ because $v=\omega r$, and $r$ differs by $\Delta r\sim L$. The result is that the difference in acceleration is $\omega^2 L$, which is on the order of $10^{-8}$ m/s2. This is much too small to have any observable effect in an ordinary household experiment.
This explains why the Coriolis effect is important for hurricanes (large L) but not for bathtub drains (small L).
Detecting the Coriolis effect in a draining tub requires very carefully controlled experiments (Trefethen 1965; also see this web page by Baez). Lautrup 2005 gives numerical estimates showing that in order to see the Coriolis effect, the the water must be very still ($v\lesssim 0.1$ mm/s), the water must also be allowed to settle for several days, and precautions have to be taken in order to prevent convection.

The sink demonstration is not an optimal one to show the effect of Coriolis force, mainly because the water in the sink will never be perfectly still enough to start with in order for that force to be the dominant one to determine the direction it will swirl (you could force it to spin either direction.
Better demonstrations are easy, however. One effective demo would be to fire a high powered rifle at a distant target (neglecting windage, of course). The bullet should always curve to the right in the Northern Hemisphere, and it should always curve to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
Anyone who flies a powered lighter than air craft (blimp or dirigible) can attest, it makes a considerable difference when flying Westward or Eastward. Flying Westward in the Northern Hemisphere will gain altitude / buoyancy. Flying Eastward will lose altitude / buoyancy. In the Southern Hemisphere, the opposite effects will prevail.
The calculation of the Coriolis force is dependent on latitude:
The Earth's angular velocity is (about) $7.29 \times 10^{-5}$ rad/sec
So, for a sink with a couple gallons of water in it at 45 degrees north... the Coriolis force is about $7.57 \times 2 \times 7.29 \times 10^{-5} = 1.10 \times 10^{-3}$ N.
Interesting reading about this over this way, and (of course) here.

Sample of panos from 1.5 to 5.5 m height
Low Resolution - recommended
High resolution, warning, large files!
The height is accurate as I used a device adapted to the pole to measure the
exact height, as a matter of fact I also did panos at each 20 cm appart in
height for other purposes but the difference are to small to worth posting
here, instead I selected this set at 0.5 m appart which can give you an idea
about your needs for heights in your panos, also them are available as 3D as
well (red-cyan anaglyph, kindly click on little glasses for 3Ds) if you want to
study the 3D and height combined.
I used a twin combo: Canon 350D+Sigma 8mm 3.5, on a Fanotec series 2 complete
pole, the non-anaglyph (regular) panos are from right camera.

It takes me 10-15 minutes to cool down - body temp wise - after a work out, this is after a 'cool down' in the gym and a cold'ish shower. It becomes an issue when I workout at lunch time. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Don't take a shower after a workout until your body has cooled down, and you are not sweating anymore. (or else the shower won't 'take', and you will sweat after it.) (a shower should not be used in order to cool down. A shower should just purely be to clean yourself) Also, you should wear a long sleeve shirt after your workout if it is even remotely chilly outside or whatever environment you will be in. Don't let your body get cold fast. Let your body cool down naturally. Whenever I would not do this, I would almost feel sick like (hot/cold/achy).
edit** I should also add that plenty of water during the cool down is essential. Don't go from a hard workout straight to a dead stop either. Gradually go from a hard workout to nothing.
The best way would be to submerge most of your body in a tub of cold water (1-15 C or 35-59 F). However it's horribly inconvenient and if not monitored properly, dangerous.
I would regulate your body temperature by drinking VERY cold water, as cold as you can stand it. Once your esophagus warms up to a comfortable temperature, have another drink. Repeat as necessary.
The cool down period after a workout is very important and should not be minimized. A workout is a strain on the body as joints and muscles struggle to keep up with the challenge. After this challenge is over the body need to calm down so that it have the time to flush out tired muscles, keep joints warm and flexible and of course to slowly cool down the temperature.
A good tip is to use 10-15 minutes after a workout to stretch during the cool down period and let the body to calm down in its own pace.
I would recommend you to an article about the benefits of the cool down at exercise.about.com
To be honest, if not having a higher body temp is very important to you after your lunch breaks, I don't recommend working out during lunch. My body takes a couple of hours before it's at a normal temperature and I'm not sweating after the gym.
There are a lot of things happening in your body immediately following a workout that are causing higher body temps and I don't know that you should really be trying to cut them short.
I also exercise at lunch times, and am often uncomfortably hot afterwards.
Drinking cold water should help. Pouring the same quantity over your skin and allowing it to evaporate should be more effective given the additional heat of vaporization of the water, however.
I also find maintaining a moderate heart rate after a period of more intense exercise makes me feel cooler quicker. Perhaps the extra blood volume traversing the body more than offsets the extra heat generated by having a somewhat elevated metabolism. This is purely anecdotal on my part though.
Slowly stretching your entire body for a good 15 sec each stretch will help, and drinking 2L of cold water to regulate body temp and flush out toxins. 30 mins ofter relaxing, taking a cool shower would be a good way to top it off.
Work out slowly but not too slow that you barley move after. Also stay hydrated and on a cool but not freezing room. Get on comfortable clothes and keep moving and you'll be just fine.

Which is more correct, "it fit really well" or "it fitted really well"? The short form is something I encountered when moving to the US, I never heard it in the UK.

The definition of 'fit' used here is given by the OED (5.a.) as:
One of the two earliest quotes for this definition in the past tense uses 'fit'; the other uses 'fitted'.
So both forms have been in use for a long time.
Searching COCA, COHA, and the BNC for "fit well" vs. "fitted well," I found "fit well" outnumbering "fitted well" by 20:1 in COCA (indicating American usage), 8:3 in the COHA (indicating older American usage), and by 2:1 in the BNC (for you Brits). So either is fine, on both sides of the Atlantic, but "fit well" is much more common in modern American usage.
I think there are two separate verbs here that are the same in the present tense but different in the past.

If kings were supposed to be from Shevet Yehuda, why was Shaul from Binyamin anointed?
Sign up

Abarbanel offers two possible approaches:
1) "לא יסור שבט" does not mean the monarchy, but rather that Yehuda will always be inherently greater and more deserving of respect and leadership than the other tribes.
2) "לא יסור שבט" means that the tribe of Yehuda will be punished continuously throughout their exile (שבט as in "שבט אפי"), referring to the galus Yehuda that we are in currently.
As to why a king from Binyamin, Abarbanel suggests that perhaps Shevet Binyamin at the time needed some respect and elevation after its disgraceful "pilegesh b'givah" episode (besides the fact that Shaul himself clearly was worthy of the position).
The Rambam (Hilchos Malachim 1:7-10) Discusses the anointing and appointing of Jewish kings.
There (1:8) he says:
The Rambam is referring to even after David was anointed and kingship was given over to King David's lineage forever, so this would surely apply before as well.
So Shmuel, as a prophet, anointed Shaul as king. Since Shaul followed G-d's commands, he was a legitimate king, even though he wasn't from the tribe of Yehuda.
Perhaps this is why, as soon as Shaul sins by not listening to G-d and keeping Agag alive, Shmuel tells him (Shmuel 1 15:23) "Since you rejected the word of the Lord, He has rejected you from being a king." and (Shmuel 1 16:14) "the spirit of the Lord departed from Saul"
Perhaps since a king who is not from the house of David is only considered a king as long as he goes in G-d's ways, as soon as Shaul sinned, he was no longer considered a king.
Sotah 37a-b In the book Ben Yehoyadah, Rabbi Yosef Hayyim mi-Baghdad's work on the aggadic portions of the Talmud, the author points out that the reward granted to both Yehudah and Binyamin are eternal rewards - the Jewish people's monarchy will always be from the house of King David, and the place of the Temple will always remain on Har Ha-Bayit in Jerusalem. The Iyun Ya'akov argues that both rewards contain an element of monarchy, since King Sha'ul, the first king of Israel, came from Shevet Binyamin.
Nechama Leibowitz brings down the following interpretations:
לא יסור שבט מיהודה ומחקק מבין רגליו עד כי יבא שילה ולו יקהת עמים. (בראשית מט, י)
The staff shall not depart from Judah, nor the scepter from between his feet, until Shilo come, and the obedience of peoples be his. (Koren Translation) (Bereshit 49: 10)
But Ibn Ezra refutes Rashbam and gives his own interpretation:
כמו שאמר המשורר (תהלים עח:סז) "וימאס באהל יוסף" – זהו שילה… ואם אמרנו "עד כי יבוא שילה" כי אז תאבד הממשלה והמלכות תיפסק מזרעו, אם כן אין זה דרך המברך. ועוד כי לעולם לא יאמר "עד" בפסוק למעט כי אם להוסיף כדרך שאמר ליעקב אבינו (בראשית כ"ח:טו) "והנה אנכי עמך ושמרתיך בכל אשר תלך … כי לא אעזבך עד אשר אם עשיתי את אשר דברתי לך." (פירוש הארוך)
As the Psalmist said (Psalms 78:67): "And He rejected the tabernacle of Yosef." – this is Shilo…. And if we would say that "until Shilo comes" means that at that point he would lose the rule and the kingship would end for his descendants, this is not the nature of a blessing. Furthermore, the use of the word "ad" in a verse never comes to diminish, but to add, as our father Ya'akov said (Bereshit 28:15): "And behold I am with you, and will keep you in all places that you go…for I will not leave you until (עד) I have done all that I said to you." (The Long Commentary)
R. Yosef Bechor Shor seems to agree with Ibn Ezra but he differs in this way:
I cannot improve on the other excellent examples, but I can provide an additional source (and one older than the others mentioned so far):
Midrash Tanchuma (Bo, Siman 5) has a slightly different version:

7 Celebrities Who Had Badass Careers You Didn't Know About

#7. Chevy Chase Was Almost in Steely Dan
What He's Known For:
Believe it or not, there was a time when Chevy Chase was the biggest thing in comedy. That time was the 80s, and it featured a much funnier and much sexier Chase in his prime.
Men laughed, women slipped off their chairs.
The man had it all going for him: his three Vacation movies were instant classics; Fletch was the best comedy to ever become a historical artifact within a decade; he was skinny dipping with the likes of Cindy Morgan and Christie Brinkley. Hell, the man was even considered to play Han Solo.
Naturally, all good things come to end. And they did in a very big way for Chase when, in 1993, he was allowed to have a talk show so bad that society has purged it--in an order approaching Star Wars Holiday Special--from its collective consciousness.
What He Should Be Known For:
The 70s were a decade of change. And pantsuits. Mostly pantsuits.
The sexiest man alive, 1973
Vietnam was raging and months before the TET Offensive, Chase was faced with two choices: go to medical school or enter the draft. Naturally, Chase took the unmentioned third option: don't go to medical school, inform the Army of your "false... homosexual tendencies" and avoid Vietnam altogether. When choice C worked out, Chase stuck around and played drums for a band called The Leather Canary, with friends Walter Becker and Donald Fagen. You may recognize those two as the founding members of multiple-Grammy-Award-Winning Steely Dan.
Chase eventually left the group, calling them "a bad jazz band." Not long afterward, Becker and Fagen changed their name and hit the jackpot. We're not implying that Chase's departure had anything to do with their newfound fame, but then again, Chase is set to play fifth fiddle in a Not Another... flick.
Pictured: The window Chevy Chase's career flew out of.
#6. Roger Ebert Wrote Softcore Porn
What He's Known For:
Roger Ebert went from TV critic to minor American hero after he lost his voice in a fight against cancer and continued to critique the shit out of movies. Of course he's best remembered for Siskel & Ebert at the Movies and despite the fact that he would go on to recommend Win a Date with Tad Hamilton, Ebert won a Pulitzer for his work in 1975, becoming the first the film critic to do so.
If winning a Pulitzer doesn't prove your critiques are worth a damn, also consider that his reviews are syndicated in 200 papers across the globe. There are primates in the Congo who have read his stuff.
"'...best moments belong to Amy-' what the? What a dick."
What He Should Be Known For:
When Ebert was but a young film critic, just starting out, he tried his hand at writing screenplays. Here is where you'd expect that a man whose entire career has been made up analyzing every aspect of a movie would have some semblance of talent at writing something decent. Something Oscar-worthy even.
The man wrote softcore porn.
Back in the day, 20th Century Fox was looking for someone to make the sequel to Valley of the Dolls. They tapped Russ Meyer--a man known for his sexploitation films--to direct what would become Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. Ebert co-wrote the eventual travesty, later saying that it all seemed "like a movie that got made by accident when the lunatics took over the asylum."
Despite this, Ebert went on to write more movies with Meyer including the above Up! and Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens. Some people will comment that these movies hardly constitute porn but let's be honest here: When your films feature massive, topless titties, plenty of grinding and stars by the name of Candy Samples and Kitten Natividad, that's porn, man. Or as we say in Oregon, "the city park."
#5. Dr. Seuss Made War Propaganda
What He's Known For:
It's unfortunate to think that someone out there doesn't know who Dr. Seuss is. Yet, we are aware that there are some confused young souls today whose only familiarity with the storybook legend is this:
While The Cat in the Hat is arguably his most famous character, Dr. Seuss was a creative and prolific writer, having 60 children's books under his belt. He's created many lovable and nonsensical characters like the Lorax, Horton the Elephant, some colorful fish and a whole bunch of other characters whose names we can't pronounce without some sort of hallucinogen. Also, that bastard the Grinch. But fuck that guy.
His books were designed to entertain children, but over time they've become the inspiration for film directors to come up with new and interesting ways to completely destroy classic characters.
It's only a matter of time before Tim Burton does a twisted reimagining of Green Eggs and Ham and then that'll be our whole childhood, completely ruined.
What He Should Be Known For:
Before Dr. Seuss was Dr. Seuss, he was Theodor Seuss Geisel, an artist turned eventual filmmaker in the U.S. Army's propaganda department during World War II. And this guy took to this job like a moth to the flame. He hated the Axis and anyone who didn't want to blow their shit up. Seriously:
Would you kill Hitler in a box? With some socks? On the rocks? Your answer should always be "yes."
Other than Ted Williams, we're pretty sure no one had bigger patriotic balls than Seuss did at the time. He would take his propaganda career one step further when he started writing films for the Army.
At some point, though, Seuss changed his tune. Along with his wife and a producer at RKO, he took one of his propaganda shorts, Our Job in Japan, and made it into the feature-length Design for Death, a 48-minute film that details what happens when a government has too much control over its people and resources. It gave perception and insight into Japanese culture and how the country should be a staple on what not to do if we wanted to avoid another world war.
Well, couldn't hurt, right?
Bosley Crowther, a hugely important critic during his time, panned the documentary. But he's also the same man who loved Citizen Kane and hated Godzilla--so make of that what you will. Obviously the Academy wasn't listening to Crowther, since they decided to give Seuss an Oscar for his film. So to recap, he wrote and directed Academy Award-winning thought-provoking anti-war films, and what will most people remember him by?
#4. Sir Isaac Newton Invented the Doggy Door
What He's Known For:
Also known as the Father of Physics, or the Fabio of Fabios around the Cracked office.
Science never looked so good.
As we've discussed before, while an apple didn't actually conk Newton in the noggin, he did put to word the laws of gravity.
Gravity wasn't the only thing Newton was getting his swerve on with. The man also had an integral part in developing calculus. Newton also did some other sciencey-mathematical bullshit that's probably important, but whatever: The dude loved science. We get it. Give it a rest, Newton, you're a knight already.
"A body persists in a state of uniform motion or of rest unless acted upon by an external force.
In this case, such force is the can of medieval whoop-ass I'm about to open all up in here."
What He Should Be Known For:
Newton loved him some optics, so much so that he invented the first working reflecting telescope, thus making Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek possible a mere several hundred years later. He truly was a renaissance nerd.
Newton couldn't have made such an impact on the world of optics if he hadn't been experimenting like crazy. Coincidentally, this also led to him having an impact on the pet world as well. The story goes that during these experiments, Newton's cats kept bothering him--as felines are wont to do.
Congratulations, you discovered gravity. I left a present for you in my litter box.
At some point, he became fed up with their crap and just made a quick fix to his door so they could come and go as the please. Yes, the man who knew more about physics than anyone else during his time invented the cat door. He is better than you at everything.

Hailey Dunn's mother hasn't been questioned by law enforcement since the Colorado City teen's remains were found in March near Lake JB Thomas in Scurry County, her attorney said Tuesday.
"Absolutely has not," said John Young, who is representing Billie Jean Dunn as local, state and federal investigators continue to investigate the death.
Young said Internet and other reports surfacing to the contrary are "patently false and inaccurate."
Billie Dunn's live-in boyfriend at the time of the middle school cheerleader's late December 2010 disappearance – Shawn Adkins – has been the only named "person of interest" in the case.
However, Young said, "I do not know what's happening with Shawn," noting Billie Dunn hasn't had any contact with him "in months."
Young said the only contact law enforcement has had with Billie Dunn since her daughter's remains were found "has been for the purposes of updating her on the status of lab tests and DNA tests to determine the identity of the remains."
Efforts to reach Adkins for comment in recent weeks have been unsuccessful.
"It's tragic. It's sad. It's a circumstance we all don't want to have to live through," Young said.
Meanwhile, Young said law enforcement still hasn't released Hailey Dunn's remains to her parents and that he hasn't been told when he should expect them to be released.
Young said he understands Billie Dunn has had contact with Hailey Dunn's father, Clint, and that he expects them to reach agreement as to funeral arrangements.
According to Young, an open-to-the-public memorial service will likely be held to honor Hailey Dunn's life, as well as those who searched and prayed relentlessly for her after her disappearance.
On April 26, local, state and federal officials confirmed the remains found at Lake JB Thomas were those of the previously missing Colorado City teen.
Attending a news conference in Scurry County were representatives of the Scurry County Sheriff's Office, the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Texas Rangers and the FBI.
At that time, officials said the investigation into the teen's death is ongoing.
In mid-March, DPS, Texas Ranger and FBI investigators spent three and a half days at the crime scene to gather the teen's scattered remains and any evidence that could lead to a conviction. They were able to identify her through dental records.
Hailey Dunn was 13-years-old when her mother reported her missing on Dec. 28, 2010.
According to investigators, Adkins quit his job in Snyder the day of the teen's disappearance and is the last known person to have seen her.
According to Billie Dunn and Adkins, Hailey was on her way to a friend's house across the street from their home in the 1800 block of Chestnut Street when she went missing.
The pair failed polygraph tests when questioned about Hailey, according to an affidavit.
On two occasions, Adkins reportedly walked out of the polygraph examinations he volunteered for. He failed the first phase of his third exam and, during the second phase, indicated Hailey Dunn could be found in Scurry County but refused to complete the exam when more specific questions about her location were asked.
According to the affidavit, investigators used cell phone records to discover Adkins allegedly did not accurately portray his whereabouts the day of Hailey Dunn's whereabouts. Investigators said he visited Colorado City the day she went missing at a time she likely would have been home alone.
Investigators also said they discovered hundreds of articles about mass murderers in Adkins's and Billie Dunn's bedroom. Billie took responsibility for printing them out.
Six months after Hailey's disappearance, Billie Dunn moved to Austin.
Hailey Dunn's disappearance garnered national attention, including discussion on Nancy Grace.

Ignoring price, when spcs are similar what's the advantage of a tower PC vs an all in one / slate / tablet?
Different question, are all in ones considerd desktops or tablets? I would say closer too a tablet, but no idea if that's right or not?
Ignoring price, when spcs are similar what's the advantage of a tower PC vs an all in one / slate / tablet?
Different question, are all in ones considerd desktops or tablets? I would say closer too a tablet, but no idea if that's right or not?
Second, specs are not the same. You can get a whole lot more desktop for your dollar than tablet.
The advantages of a traditional desktop are:
-Designed specifically for desktop work, like in a office
-Capable of running CPU intensive programs
-Large monitor size
-Hardware can be customized and easily replaced
-Hardware can be generic ie cheaper
-Run desktop OSs, not tablet OSs which at the moment are not great for the types of things you need to do in an office environment
-Ports can be added easily to allow for easy networking and device syncing
I cant think of a single advantage to having a tablet in an office....
Bowing out now then before the clink of a padlock gets heard.
I didnt say anything about a super computer. You can build a perfectly capable computer for $400 or so.-I have never understood buying super spec PCs for office use. For art and design yes, but office use with office software?
Small screens with few ports = not made for office use.With office packages now on tablets, I cant see how advantageous this is.
Youre right. But they cost a whole lot more than 60 pounds.The tech in tablets has accelerated at a high speed. Multi core processors are already there. I dont feel it will take much longer for even higher spec tablets too come on the market.
Not really. Large monitor = higher cost.Large monitor size - Addressed.
Dont think so. Tablets, like laptops, have to be built very specifically in order to be small. Laptops have been out for years and still arent really customizable. If a part breaks in a laptop, you almost alwasy have to order the exact same part direct from the manufacturer. In a desktop, if something goes, you can replace it with nearly any brand. Its much easier and cheaper.Given this for the time being, but we are talking about the future of desktops, and with all in ones I think we will get customizable all in ones / slates.
Havent used Win 8, but it doesnt seem to be going down so well with some people. Having an OS that is both for a desktop and a mobile device has many, many disadvantages.Ubuntu are addressing this. With Win 8 theres also some familiarity between mobiles/tablets/desktops/all in ones.
First, hoping for future advancment is not proof that a current product is better and another current product.Again, really, is that far off in the future of tablets?
Second, I dont think this will change much. Tablets are designed to be mobile media consumption devices. You dont need a wide variety of ports to watch youtube and play angry birds.
Please give me one advantage to using a tablet, which is designed for being a mobile device, in a non-mobile position like an office. I cant think of any at all.
review of three all-in-ones. Their price? One from Vizio starts at $1,000; the other two from HP and Apple start at $1,300. I don't see many companies replacing $300-400 desktop towers and $100-200 displays with $1,300 all-in-ones.
If you ask for help, please have the courtesy to check for responses and thank the people who helped you.

I don't currently use my desktop for a work environment but I couldn't imagine doing what i do with a tablet or mobile device.
I don't even like mobile devices. i don't even own a cell phone.
But the games I play, "office type" activities, feeling "home-like", there's no replacement for my desktop.
I'm not as quick to write off tablets anymore, at least as a remote desktop access device.
If your work requires non-network access or usually not wifi/broadband connections, then a tablet as a remote desktop does not make any sense.
Boot, Backup, and Security questions. Std Linux Sys Maint..
Why LTS release? Mark Thread SOLVED.
Use "code tags".
Probably in some instances the desktop will not be completely replaced, what will disappear first is the laptop. I suspect MS will be hit hard by people bringing their own devices, mostly iPads to work. Android has to get its stuff together security-wise before it can make a dent in the workplace IMO.

The Third Stage of Labor: After Your Baby is Born
In This Article:
Physical effects after birth
How you feel after the birth
After the huge effort of giving birth, it's common to have a physical reaction. Many women experience uncontrollable shaking or shivering, and some feel nauseous and may even vomit. In addition to your physical reaction, you are also likely to be feeling overwhelmed and emotional. Once you and your baby have been given the all clear, you should be given some quiet time alone to get to know each other.
Postpartum hemorrhage
A postpartum hemorrhage describes the loss of up to 1 pint (500 ml) of blood after the delivery. This is often associated with a retained placenta, when the placenta remains in the uterus for a prolonged period of time, which is most likely to occur during a natural delivery of the placenta. It can also occur after an assisted forceps delivery; after a prolonged labor; or following a cesarean. Improvements in the treatment of this condition with antibiotics and blood transfusions has meant that the incidence of complications following a hemorrhage has fallen considerably over the years.

STEUBENVILLE - Come Wednesday, Linda Stuller will be facing the realities of retirement.
After 26 years as Schiappa branch manager and childrens' coordinator for the Public Library of Steubenville and Jefferson County, Stuller is calling it quits: Tuesday is to be her last day on the job.
"The hardest part, for me, is probably going to be (saying goodbye to) the people I work with," she said. "Some of them I've worked with for more than 20 years. Librarians tend to stay in one place they get in, they like the job and they learn it. The hardest part will be not seeing the people I work with, and the public, you start to recognize them. I'll miss being able to do the little things, like finding a book for them they didn't know we had or getting it from another library."

RETIRING — Linda Stuller is retiring this week after 26 years at the helm of the Schiappa branch of the Public Library of Steubenville and Jefferson County. -- Linda Harris
A Steubenville native, Stuller remembers looking out her window back in 1986 and seeing the Schiappa branch go up, brick-by-brick. It was, she realized then, an opportunity to "get my foot in the door."
"It opened at the right time," she said.
Trained as a teacher and librarian, Stuller's 10-year hiatus from her job as librarian at a local elementary school to be a stay-at-home mom to her two sons was winding down. Her youngest was ready to go off to kindergarten, "and I was ready to go back to work," she said.
With a bachelor's degree from Kent State University, where she majored in elementary education and minored in library science, and a master's in education from the University of Dayton, she had the background library officials were looking for.
"They were looking for someone with a background working with children, hoping this library could cater to families," she said. "It was a perfect fit for me."
In those days the library was in its infancy. It was about half the size of the current facility, she said, and when they first opened they didn't have all that many books on the shelves. They started with a core collection, "artfully arranged" so that the open spaces weren't quite so obvious.
"But people were so good, donating books to us," she said. "They wanted the library, they wanted to use it, and what we had they picked over."
Stuller said in those days, Mall Drive looked nothing like it does now.
"There was no one here," she said. "No Kmart, no Lowe's or Applebee's. There was no Aldi's across the street. This was it, sitting out in the middle of a huge field, but the location is wonderful."
Nor did the building look anything like it does now. In 1993 they added a reference room, an Ohio Room, a conference room, two study rooms and a large children's area with its own restrooms and activities area. They also automated the library system, barcoding the entire collection as well as patron cards, and added laptops for patrons to use in-house. They've also added free Internet access, classes to help people use the Internet and even "tech help" for folks with electronic devices they're not quite sure how to use.
"It's changed drastically,' she said. "We have a study room for tutors, a conference room. The offices are new, and we have a huge childrens' area and story hour room."
Stuller said she's most proud of the way residents from throughout Jefferson County have responded to Schiappa throughout the years.
"Even though we're not in a neighborhood, we're still their library," she said. "That was the idea of putting it here, it's kind of a central location to the county. You know you're in the right place when you're accessible to this many people."
She said she's also "very proud to have worked for a public agency that is efficient, useful, thrifty, and forward-thinking," as well as it's adaptability, particularly in keeping step with changing technology, to ensure it remains "an asset and a vital part of the community."
And now, with retirement just hours away, she said she's grateful "for so many wonderful memories."
"They're like snapshots in a scrapbook in my head," she said. "The first patron who got the first card on the first day we opened, the lines of patient patrons waiting to get library cards as staff typed (on typewriters) as quickly as they could, the many books donated by people to help us fill our quickly-emptied shelves, and now, people sitting with their laptops in the cafe area, the lines of folks at the Internet terminals, the red line of the laser scanners reading barcodes, kids and tutors in the study rooms, people selecting DVD's and little one's playing games on the children's computers or sitting quietly listening to a story."
Stuller and her husband, Mark, have two sons and three grandchildren, with whom she plans to spend more time.

This will be amazing when it actually exists one day.
Can't believe its taken this long for the product to be released after R&D. Sure there were a few technical problems worked out in WW1, but now our tattoo propaganda has made tattoo's desirable. With the new invisible UV dyes, tattoo doesn't show up until activated. Parents will no longer complain. Portable uv scanners help your neighborhood teens know where they belong. High School Homework Helper helps with text answers to improve your grades. Many more uses, order now, and we'll include special tanning dyes. Save money by not having to go to the tanning salon.
@gmartell: No tan lines! Great idea.
I think the way to go would be to shrink the e-ink down even smaller, then just have your whole arm engulfed in the balls (ha...get it?). That way you could rock whole sleeves, or, if you're feeling REALLY cool, clear your whole arm and rock just the BARB WIRE BICEP WRAP! Oh yeah. I'm going to be a millionaire.
i hate april 1st on the internet.
@vinithehat: LOL! Opens up the doors for all kinds of unwarranted sarcasm, doesn't it?
I'm pretty sure the prop in the images is a barcode scanner. Still, nice one thinkgeek.
At last I'll be able to remember where I parked my car.
@stevenem: Heh. Dead on.
Anyone know if you can download eBooks as art? That would be useful and I wouldn't have to carry my Kindle around any more. It's starting to get too heavy will all the books I've purchased.
@nabber: What's 1mb weigh?
sweet now i can off my tat shirt
I ordered the "flashing and scrolling" implant. I already have a contract with Nike and Coke.
CyberGen anyone?
This gives me an idea... CNC tattooing, flesh-friendly inks...
Sweet, I can get rid of my wearable tattoo sleeves now!
@bravo6: Haha! Hilarious, and dead on topical. Lol...but mostly just fawkin funny man. I really was curious to see what those looked like on a normal person...

GENESEO, N.Y. – Master teacher and performer of Hindustani classical music, Nagaraj Havaldar, will present a lecture and demonstration at SUNY Geneseo Oct. 9 from 2:30 – 3:45 in Brodie Hall Room 208. The Department of Music is hosting the event, which is free and open to the public.
Havaldar is on a concert tour in the United States, and Geneseo student Rahul Thandla, a vocal performance and biology double major, studies with Havaldar during the summers in India and was responsible for arranging his visit to campus. At Geneseo, Rahul is a student of Pamela Kurau, assistant professor of music.
"We are all excited to have Dr. Havaldar on campus and to learn more about Indian classical music," said Kurau. "This genre of music is not commonly taught on American college campuses so it will be a special experience for all of us."

What sorts of containers have been found to be appropriate for storing large amounts of small cards? For example, in Descent: Second Edition, There are 155 cards which must be stored, and which measure 41mm by 63mm. Once they are sleeved (in these), they no longer fit in their little baggie; is there some company that makes/sells boxes that fit these small cards? Are there any commonly available containers that work well to fit these card sizes?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
I usually use those white cardboard boxes to hold large amounts of cards. They come in various sizes. http://www.amazon.com/BCW-Count--Corrugated-Cardboard-Storage/dp/B000K3XQ8U/
Or I create my own boxes using plastic canvas. (sorry i do not have any better links for these at the moment) http://www.crafts-for-all-seasons.com/plastic-canvas-box.html
You can get little plastic boxes in all kinds of shapes and sizes.
Also the little clear plastic bags with press-in tops (known as zip-lock)
For storage of multiple card-based games there are all kinds of small craft storage units with drawers of varying sizes. Personally I use the bags for games with lots of elements such as Agricola, and just keep all the bags of pieces/cards in the Agricola box.
Magic: the Gathering fat-pack boxes are excellent for storing multiple cards in (I have a friend who stores Race for the Galaxy, Gloom, The Great Del Mutay, and some regular playing cards in one) You can get empty ones from ebay or M:tG stores such as Troll and Toad (I'm limited to 2 hyperlinks).

Rock Band {RP} - 03-31-2009, 08:34 AM
1. I only want people who are experienced in RPing to join this. Just cuz you think you are experienced doesn't mean you are; if I don't want you in my RP then you can't join. If anyone posts in the RP who I don't want to join, then their post will be deleted and they will be informed thru PM as to the reasons why not. This RP is rated M and will contain mature situations so if you are under 16, then don't even bother trying to join. If you are unsure, I would prefer that you contact me thru PM rather than posting in the RP.
2. No Mary Sues or Gary Stus. Please obey the general RPG forum rules.
3. Vampire and werewolf characters are allowed as well as human. Please make sure that if you have a vampire/were character, you follow these rules:
Vampires can go out in sunlight, eat garlic, and walk by crosses and cross running water. However, they are wood and fire sensitive, and have to drink a blood meal every day. They can eat human food, but the blood meal is the one they need to survive. Going without blood will send a vampire into the Bloodrage, which is a mindless state where the vampire will just feed on the nearest human or animal. Vampires have psychic powers too, and can trance people and wipe their memories.
Werewolves can voluntarily change into wolves, save at full moon where the change happens automatically, for three days. Weres can also communicate mentally, but don't have the powers vampires have. They are sensitive to silver and fire. Weres also have to eat flesh every other day.
Also; whether were or vampire, the humans don't know that they exist. At the start of this RP, any human characters will be ignorant about their bandmates' true natures. Please ensure that each band has at least one or two human characters, to mix things up a little. Finally, no Meyerpires or Meyerweres. I mean it; anyone who even tries to join with one of these abominations will be automatically barred from the RP.
4. The NPCs, ie the judges and the presenter, will be played by me if no-one else wants to play them. If you wish to play an NPC, let me know thru PM; I will tell you their basics, then leave you to present the character as you see fit.
5. There will be two bands in the contest. Please have at least two characters, one in each band. Both bands play hard rock, and have male and female members. The singer will of course sing, but the other band members will sing backup. The bands are as follows:
Singer: Cyrus Van Helsing
Lead Guitarist: Adrian Capp
Bassist: Kate Grey
Drummer: Hani Williams
Keyboards: Tamara Kazakov
Singer: Preston Black
Lead Guitarist: Jessica Roarke
Bassist: Rob Ortega
Drummer: Jacki Higgins
Keyboards: Regan Redfern
As people join, I will edit these forms to include their characters. Once a position has been taken; hard cheese. Choose another. Remember that the singer may also play an instrument, or the other band members might guest sing on songs.
Character Form:
Age: (18 - 25 if human; if were or vampire, then must look that age)
The stage is set. The reality show, "Rock Band", has been going on for months. Every week has seen more hopefuls losing out to the vote and missing out on the promise of fame. There can only be one winner, and the prize is the stuff of dreams; a cash prize of $10,000 each and a record deal. The show is public controlled until the final; which has the judges deciding on which band shall be given the grand prize. However, if one of the bands drops out, then the other will win by default. Both bands are determined that they will win; just how far will they go to get their hands on the grand prize? Will they stoop to sabotaging the other band, perhaps? There's just six weeks to go before the grand final is broadcast live to an audience of millions, and the pressure is on.
Even before the grand final happens, both acts already have some measure of fame. They're recognised in the street, and also asked to give interviews for magazines and on TV shows. All this is just a taste of what things will be like if their band is the one to impress the judges and win first prize. True, there's a chance that the runners up will also be granted a record deal on the strength of their performance, but such things are being left to chance, whereas the winner will have that record deal in the bag. There's also the everyday life of the band members; they have their family life, perhaps, or maybe college life. There's also the lure of the party scene, of the drugs and the easy groupies, which is already within their grasp.
Behind the scenes of the reality show, drama abounds. The presenter of the show, Jason Hanson, is currently being blackmailed by one of the judges, singer and songwriter Mandy Deary. In return for not revealing the ongoing affair between herself and Jason, Mandy is demanding a bigger pay packet as well as certain perks that the other judges don't get; for example, a private dressing room and free clothes from the fashion department. The other judges are famous band manager Terry Ireson, the owner of the top record label "Snap", Sam Jayson, and pop princess Fiona Richardson. They don't know about the blackmail, but tension is running high; cuz of the priviledges and perks that they are not getting, and that Mandy is. They suspect something is going on, and the conflict threatens to tear the show apart.
At the start of the RP, the auditorium is packed to bursting. The studio audience are all watching with baited breath for the finalists to be announced; as are the people watching at home. Newspaper reporters and TV presenters are waiting in the wings to hold interviews with the finalists, and fans of the show who voted for their favourites are waiting to see if their picks made it thru to the final. Everyone is tense; the bands who made the final vote are all as nervous as each other, as they wait to hear the speech that will change their life forever, either for better or worse. After all, who doesn't want to be famous?
Name: Cyrus Van Helsing
Band: Nosferatu
Age: 18
Race: Vampire
Bio: Ever since Cyrus, or Cy as he's known, was little, he's always wanted to be a rock star. He's a born vampire, so has aged normally. He's 18 now, and has been in the band he and some of his friends formed while at school. Cy was bullied at school, due to liking rock and metal music, but was unable to use his powers to get rid of the bullies due to the danger of attracting unwanted attention from vampire hunters. He has black hair and silvery green eyes, and is fairly tall. While Cy is loyal and is a good friend, he can also be vengeful and on occasion, very immature. He spent a lot of time daydreaming about what it would be like to show all the people who bullied him at school when he became famous. He entered the band in the Rock Band reality show to do exactly that. Altho it's a certainity that even the runner ups will get record deals, Cy wants the band to win more than anything, if only for the kudos.
Name: Regan Redfern
Band: Bane
Age: 400 years old, but looks 18
Race: Vampire
Bio: Regan is the youngest in her family, and is very spoiled. She was privately schooled as a child, and now just hangs out with teenagers in order to show off, mostly, altho she does have friends among them. Regan has always lived a priviledged life, and can be very boastful as well as at times, spiteful and selfish. She does have her good points tho; she's a good conversationalist and has a sparky wit, altho sometimes that only stretches to making fun of people. Regan loves to shop, be pampered and get her hair done; she knows that a lot of people think of her as shallow, but she doesn't care. Regan was thrilled when her band, which she and her friends formed, was entered in Rock Band. She thinks they have a good chance of winning, and is certainly ready to pull strings and sabotage the competition if necessary to ensure that they do.

Nessus and OpenVAS appear to have fairly similar features. Why would you choose one over the other, besides the benefit of commercial support (which isn't available for Nessus Home Feed users anyways)?
A recent test of Nessus and OpenVAS shows the benefits in using multiple scanners due to the difference in the signatures:
Out of 15 known security holes in the system used for the test, 4 were spotted by all four tested tools (Nessus, OpenVAS, Nexpose and some Nmap scripts); 7 were only spotted by some and 4 were missed completely.
Tenable responded with an article on The Right Way To Configure Nessus For Comparison.
I think that both projects will have their strong and weak points. At the moment I'd say that Nessus appears to have a wider range of plugins available and arguably a better user interface than the standard OpenVAS client/server implementation.
In addition Nessus seems to have widened their original focus in unauthenticated vulnerability scanning to include authenticated (audit) style checking. In several scenarios this is likely to produce more accurate results than unauthenticated scanning. Having looked at these scanners authenticated scanning capabilities, Nessus does seem more advanced here than OpenVAS
EDIT : Just thought I'd add another couple of things I've noticed which could be relevant to people looking to evaluate these two. If you're looking at Database Scanning (Oracle/SQL Server) Nessus offers credentialed scanning for these, with DB level creds, which will find some vulnerabilities.
That said if you're interested in database vuln scanning NeXpose could be well worth considering, it seems to have good authenticated and unauthenticated database scanning.
From years of Nessus usage (against competitors such as Retina, OpenVAS etc) it is not perfect, but it is still better than the competition for coverage, and ease of translation into real-world results.

After reading all the reviews on different sites, I finally took the plunge and paid for this kit. I love it! It isn't time consuming and it doesn't smell really great, but it works like a dream! This will be my new face cleanser that I will always keep onhand. I didn't like the Rescue mask. It isn't good for sensitive dry skin like mine. Everything else in the kit was super moisturizing and very effective on wrinkles and smoothing your skin. Highly recommended!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Given a permutation $f: \{0,1\}^n \rightarrow \{0,1\}^n$ as $n$ polynomials over $GF(2)$ how to get formulas for the inverse permutation $f^{-1}$?
I am interested in the answer to the previous question, although I would really like to know an answer to a more specific question. Let's consider a restricted permutation $g: \{0,1\}^{n-1} \rightarrow \{0,1\}^{n-1}$ that is obtained from $f(x_1, \ldots, x_n)$ if we fix any of its arguments to some constant (for example, $x_1 = 0$). How does $deg(g^{-1})$ depend on $deg(f^{-1})$ (here $deg(f)$ is a maximum over degrees of polynomials, corresponding to $f$)? My hypothesis is that $deg(g^{-1}) \ge deg(f^{-1}) - 1$ for at least one of the two values we can assign to $x_1$.

If you've purchased the full Shimano Dura Ace 7900 groupset, you might be feeling quite smug, if a little light in the wallet. But amazingly, you could spend more, and you could be smugger. And I'm not talking about the Di2 Electronic Dura Ace, although that does sound really cool when you're shifting into the big ring. No, I'm talking about Shimano's Yumeya range of… well not components, but component components.
Yumeya is apparently Japanese for 'dream workshop'. I like the idea, but this is literally some gold-coloured bolts to replace the titanium-coloured bolts your 7900 groupset came with, plus a couple of other goodies. Total weight saving across the whole groupset if you buy this kit: 35 grams. The same as a packet of Walker's crisps. The list price: £300.
Ooo look, wiggle is selling the kit for £269.99. Bloody bargain.
