Not sure if this is a bug in jQuery 1.4.2 - I can't figure out why this won't work.
I need to check a radio button. I'm using
attr({'checked':'checked'}), I also tried
attr('checked':true) - none will work. But if I do
attr('title':'whatever') on the same radio button, with no other change anyhwere, that DOES work everytime.
Is there some obscure difference between the
title attribute and the
checked attribute that I'm missing? They are both your everyday HTML attributes. So why does one work and the other one doesn't?
Here's the code:
$('.formradiodiv').live('click', function() {
//remove checked radio btns
$('input', $(this).parents('#radiogroup')).each(function() {
$('input', $(this)).attr('checked', true);
Edit: Alright, I believe I got it. Apparently it worked all along, and it was just my head temporarily being in tukka tukka land or something.
I was checking the source code to see if jQuery had added the "checked" attr to the radio button I was clicking on: in Firefox, highlight content, right click > View Selection Source. Doing this usually shows all changes to the DOM done by JavaScript, and I was expecting to see the attribute in the source code.
All this time, the HTML radio button was hidden via CSS. That's the reason I need this in the first place - I'm replacing the default radio button with an image.
So in the source code, I didn't see the
checked attribute on the radio button, hence I assumed that it was jQuery not working correctly. But as soon as I removed the CSS rule, and showed the buttons for testing, I saw that they actually do get checked correctly. Nuff said.
Thank you very much to all who commented. I'll vote y'all up. Cheers

(CBS/AP)-- "Good riddance" is what some might say as the 112th Congress officially comes to a close. After bitter battles over the so-called "fiscal cliff," the debt ceiling and nearly every piece of legislation that came before it, it has been labeled as the least productive, most dysfunctional and least compromising in recent history.
Whether those descriptions, which are difficult to quantify, are true are not, one thing is factual - it ends today as the 113th Congress is sworn in today.
As the New Year brings with it new opportunity and a chance to start over, the 113th Congress is viewed in much the same way. With 84 new members of the House and 13 new Senators, fresh voices always bring a sense of excitement.
While rarely freshman invoke a great deal of change in Congress with their lowly status and congressional learning curve, it might be more difficult this year as the newly-elected members are joining weary, battle-bruised members who worked until the last minute of the Congress fighting over taxes and spending.
The new members, however, will be forced to get right to work. On Friday, the House will vote on a small sliver of federal aid for Sandy victims. And soon the fight over the remainder of the so-called "fiscal cliff" items that had been put on hold, including the debt ceiling and automatic spending cuts, as well as funding bills to finish the second half of this fiscal year, will resume.
While they might not severely influence the depths of leadership, the new Congress is expected to bring new perspective, as it will be the most diverse in history.
For the first time in the House, white males will be the minority in the Democratic Party. Some of those new members are receiving a lot of attention, including Tulsi Gabbard. The Hawaii Democrat comes from a small state but many say she will come with a big punch. The 31-year-old Gabbard is the first Hindu ever elected to Congress and is one of the first female combat veterans, having served a year in Iraq with the Hawaii National Guard and a second tour in Kuwait.
Gabbard will join fellow combat veteran and triple amputee Tammy Duckworth of Illinois. While domestic policy is sure to dominate Capitol Hill in 2013, Duckworth, an opponent of the Iraq War and a supporter of the drawdown of troops in Afghanistan, is likely to be a strong voice in foreign policy, especially since she will sit on the Armed Services Committee.
Democrats also add to the largest number of Hispanics - 30 - including incoming congressman Raul Ruiz of California. His rags-to-riches story has caught the attention of people outside his southeast California district.
He is the son of immigrant farm workers in the Coachella Valley outside Los Angeles who was unable to afford college. He asked local businesses to contribute to his college fund with the promise to return as a doctor. He returned from Harvard nearly two decades later as an ER doctor with a total of three degrees from the prestigious university.
Also breaking barriers is Kyrsten Sinema, who won a newly created seat encompassing parts of Phoenix and Tempe, Ariz. Sinema will be the first openly bisexual member of Congress.
She grew up poor and spent parts of her childhood homeless. With her liberal politics and background in social work, she promises to help financially struggling Americans.
Rick Nolan, D-Minn., is another new member of the 113th Congress who comes both as a freshman and veteran. He returns to Washington after a 31-year absence.
This old-timer told CBSNews.com in November that while he still believes his liberal politics, he is much more realistic this time around. He said his first piece of legislative business is to introduce legislation to take some of the corporate money out campaigns. "The first thing we have to do is change the way we do our politics," he said.
While the Democrats boast the most diverse caucus in history, the House is operating in an interesting dichotomy. The House Republican conference continues to be dominated by white men. In the new Congress, all but one of the 21 committees are chaired by white men. For Republicans, women and minorities did not fare well in the latest elections. Of the 35 newly-elected Republicans to the House, only four are women.
House Republicans lost some of its diversity with Rep. Tim Scott, R-S.C., who's leaving the House after being appointed to replace retiring Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C. But the House's loss is the Senate's gain.
Scott will be the first black senator from South Carolina since Reconstruction and the first black Republican senator since 1979. He will be a solidly conservative voice who's well-liked by the tea party, but it is unclear if he will be an outlier, like DeMint who often bucked Senate Republican leadership, or if he will work within the confines of the Republican leadership's agenda.
The Senate is adding another tea party-inspired voice to its ranks, as well as another minority. Incoming Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tex., is solidly conservative but is likely to add a critical voice to the Republican Party trying to figure out how to reach out to minority, including Hispanic, voters.
"I think the values in the Hispanic community are fundamentally conservative," he said on "CBS This Morning" shortly after being elected in November. "But you've got to have candidates that connect with that community in a real and genuine way and communicate that the values between the candidate and the community are one and the same."
Like in the House, Democrats in the Senate are realizing several firsts. Incoming senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin will be first openly gay member of the Senate. Her liberal record as a member of the House will be represented in the Senate and a likely vote for President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's agenda.
Meantime, Hawaii is expected to lose a lot of clout in the Senate. Daniel Akaka retired and Daniel Inouye died last month; between them they had 72 years of combined Senate experience.
The state's two new senators give the Aloha State little leverage as freshman. Both newcomers, however, are receiving national attention. Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii was quickly appointed after Christmas following the death of Inouye, making him the 14th new Senator entering the new Congress.
And newly-elected Democrat, Mazie Hirono, replaces Akaka. Hirono breaks several barriers: She is the first Asian-American woman, the first Buddhist and the first immigrant from Japan to serve in the Senate.
She was born in Fukushima, Japan but moved to Hawaii as a child. She served three terms in the House before being elected to the Senate in November.

What does a Real Estate Appraiser Do?
The values of all types of real estate are made using comparable methods, regardless of the kind of property or who the appraiser works for. Real Estate Appraisers work in communities that they know well so they have a good understanding of any issues that might have an impact on the value of a property. They pay close attention to any unusual features of a property and of the community, such as a certain style of a building or a major roadway next to the property. They also consider other aspects of a property like the quality and condition of the building foundation and roof of a building or any changes that may have been made since the building was originally built. They may take photographs to document a certain area or feature, as well as taking pictures of the outside of the structure. After making a visit to the property, the appraiser can establish the fair value of the property by considering home sales in the area for comparable properties, public records, the location, previous real estate appraisals, and the potential for income. Once they have completed all of their research they will put together a detailed report which presents the value of the property along with the reasons that justify the value they arrived at.
Real estate appraisers work for individual clients and focus on evaluating one piece of real estate at a time. Real estate appraisers frequently specialize by the type of real estate they appraise, such as residential properties, shopping centers, or office buildings. Often, commercial appraisers have the ability to appraise any real property but they choose to appraise property only used for commercial purposes, such as shopping centers or restaurants. Residential property appraisal professionals work on appraising houses or other family residences and only appraise those that accommodate 1 to 5 families. Then there are other appraisers who serve in a more general way and can value any type of real property.
Licensed Real estate appraisal pros develop a detailed summary report for each assignment. Putting these reports together has become faster and more efficient as a result of the use of laptop computers which allow appraisers to research data and complete at least portions of the report while on-site. Digital cameras make it simple to document the physical appearance of a property during the appraisal, and the photos can be used in the citations of the report.
Real Estate Appraisers spend much of their time researching and writing reports. However, with the improvement of computers and other technical advancements, such as wireless internet access, actual time in the office has gone down as so much of the required research can be done more quickly at the actual appraisal site or from home. Obtaining records that used to require a visit to government offices can often be found online. This has positively affected self-employed appraisers, frequently referred to as independent fee appraisers, allowing them to spend much more time on-site doing research and less time in their office.
Independent fee real estate appraisers tend to put in a standard forty hour work week and in addition, commonly work evenings and weekends preparing reports. Visits to properties commonly take place during the day, and are based on the client's schedule. Privately employed appraisers, on the other hand, normally work a 40-hour week. Real Estate Appraisers normally do their on-site appraisal work alone. Their office may be made up of only themselves or a small support team.

Herman Miller Nelson Coconut Chair
designed by George Nelson
At A Glance:
Originally introduced by Herman Miller in 1955, the Nelson Coconut Chair is a 20th century icon. It has a simple, striking shape, and it's also an extremely comfortable place to unwind, in a private office or lounge. With its shallow sides and inviting curves, the chair is designed to let you sit in any position and move with ease. The one-piece foam rubber, leather-upholstered cushion provides comfort and classic good looks.
What's To Like:
The contours of George Nelson's Coconut chair invite you to surround yourself in comfort. In his 1956 design statement for the Coconut Chair, Nelson said it "was developed to give lounge seating comfort together with great freedom of movement." A chair designed to look like a section of a coconut shell wasn't a stretch for someone who said, "... total design is nothing more or less than a process of relating everything to everything." The Nelson Coconut Chair offers shapely comfort anyone can relate to. It's like a sculpture that doubles as a resting place.
What's Not to Like:
Well, the price is high, but the design is original and completely unique. The head rest isn't very wide, but you can sit any way you want. Shall we call it a draw?
The Bottom Line:
The Coconut chair is completely true to George Nelson's original design, materials, and detailing. With the unique shell design, he accomplished his goal of providing comfortable and attractive lounge seating that gives freedom of movement so that people can sit in just about any position they choose.

College presidents nationwide view excessive drinking as their number one campus-life problem.
They know that student alcohol misuse harms those students who drink to excess, negatively affects
students who do not drink or drink responsibly, and damages the larger institution. Although more
research is needed, findings from a number of well-designed studies offer information and
suggested strategies useful for college and university administrators interested in reducing
excessive drinking on campus and its consequences (Murphy, 2000).
Federal, State, and local laws help define college administrators' responsibilities for taking
action when students misuse alcohol. The Federal Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act and its
1989 amendments require institutions receiving any Federal funds to (DeJong and Langenbahn, 1995):
The amendments to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act now permit schools to disclose to
parents any violations of local, State, and Federal laws and school policies and rules related to
alcohol. Massachusetts now requires and Virginia now recommends that public institutions in those
States do so.
In addition to complying with the law, each college has an obligation to define and adopt an
institutional policy on alcohol that is consistent with its own culture, values, mission, and
population. Because institutions are so diverse, no single policy on alcohol is appropriate for
the 3,000-plus U.S. institutions of higher learning (Gulland, 1994). An institution's history,
demographics, philosophy, and mission should guide the policy development process.
Numerous publications are available to help administrators review and create alcohol policies (DeJong
and Langenbahn, 1995; Gulland, 1994; Pittayathikhun et al., 1997). Among the many issues to be
considered are the following:
A school must also be aware of the legal aspects of any policy it institutes. To balance
students' individual rights against institutional liability, some lawyers recommend the following
(Gulland, 1994):
Companies that provide liability insurance to colleges and universities have also made specific
suggestions (United Educators Insurance Risk Retention Group, Inc., 1993). They include:
Once an institution has defined and adopted its alcohol policy, it should consider policy
enforcement and the execution of educational and other programs related to it. Depending on an
institution's policy, administrators may need to focus on specific aspects of campus life; some of
these are discussed below.
Residence hall life.There are many complex issues regarding residence hall life that
should be considered by administrators instituting and enforcing an alcohol policy. They include
the following:
Fraternities and sororities.Because of the association between membership in a fraternity
or sorority and alcohol consumption, it is clear that college administrators need to work with
leaders in the Greek system when defining alcohol policy and the mechanisms for enforcing it. A
balance needs to be struck between respect for the fundamental principles of self-governance that
define Greek life and the recognition that fraternities and sororities are part of the larger
university environment and campus culture. College administrators should work with local chapter
members to ensure that Greek alcohol use and misuse policies are consistent with those of the
particular institution.
Currently, national fraternity and sorority systems set their own policies on alcohol misuse.
Recently, many fraternities have banned the presence of alcohol in the fraternity house (Boston,
1998; Budoff, 1998; Burke, 1999; Williams, 1996), and seven members of the National Panhellenic
Conference have voted to restrict their sororities' social commitments in fraternity houses to
those chapters that offer only alcohol-free events in their houses.
An analysis of the role of alcohol in fraternities prompted the following recommendations to
members of the Greek system and campus administrators (Arnold and Kuh, 1992):
The role of athletics. College athletics can contribute to alcohol problems for the campus
and the surrounding community in a number of ways (Ryan, 1999). Weekly alcohol consumption and
binge drinking go up as a student progresses from noninvolvement in collegiate or recreational
athletics to participation on a team and a leadership position. At many institutions, alcohol is
intimately associated with athletics. The alcohol industry may provide financial support for
big-time athletic programs and related large-scale campus events; alcohol may be available in
college sports arenas; and new college stadiums may include luxury boxes for alumni and other
supporters where alcohol is served.
The following recommendations emerged from a 1999 symposium on collegiate athletics and alcohol
sponsored by The Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Other Drug Prevention (Ryan, 1999):
Alumni events and fundraising. Alumni events represent a particularly challenging area for
college administrators. While virtually all alumni are of legal age to drink, the extent to which
they misuse alcohol when they return to campus can have serious consequences for the college or
university. Students are quick to note double standards and hypocrisy and readily pick up on the
fact that excessive drinking by alumni is tolerated while alcohol misuse by students is not. When
the president of the University of Rhode Island changed the institution's policy to ban alcohol
from all campus functions, some of the most vocal resistance (besides fraternities) came from the
development office staffers and deans, who were worried that the lack of alcohol could adversely
impact fundraising and development activities (Schroeder, 1999). In fact, the president reported
little or no resistance from alumni and no negative impact on development (Mara, 2000).
Nevertheless, the extent to which there could be negative effects on development from changes in
alcohol policies is an issue meriting further study.
Another difficult question is whether to accept gifts or sponsorships from the alcohol industry
(Ryan, 1999). President Edward H. Hammond of Fort Hays State University is among those who believe
the alcohol industry should be part of the solution, not part of the problem. He said, "Every time
a legal product is abused in our society, we demand the producers of the product take ownership
and be a part of the solution" (Ryan, 1999). He cited the automobile industry and chemical
companies as examples.
For institutions that have hospitality programs or food-related curricula, or alumni who have
entered the alcohol industry after graduation, the two issues—alumni
giving and industry support—come together. The college or
university must be clear in articulating its position, especially about alcohol advertising on
campus, accepting gifts, and allowing support from the industry. It is possible to prohibit the
direct advertisement of alcohol or official sponsorship of an event by the alcohol industry and
still accept gifts from manufacturers or retailers of beer, wine, and liquor products.
Research indicates that the most successful strategies for changing student drinking behavior are
likely to be multidimensional (Final Report of the Panel on Prevention and Treatment). Such
strategies should take into account existing laws, an institution's own alcohol policy, and the
people likely to be affected by enforcement of that policy. Although additional research is needed
to answer important questions about many aspects of excessive student drinking, a number of
colleges and universities are using a combination of strategies to begin changing the culture of
drinking on campus. Those strategies include involving stakeholders, offering a range of
substance-free social programs, conducting communications campaigns, managing special events, and
building campus-community coalitions. College administrators may find elements of each useful in
planning their campus alcohol programs.
Involving stakeholders. Most effective programs involve stakeholders—a group that at a
minimum includes students, the school president, and faculty—as a first step in developing a
campuswide approach to reducing excessive student drinking.
Ensuring adequate staffing. A coalition of staff is needed to effectively reduce alcohol
misuse on campus. Coalition members need to be able to link with health professionals, campus
police, judicial staff, and students to connect students with alcohol problems to appropriate
interventions. Coalition leadership should have direct access to the college president. If
institutional change is to occur, it cannot be led by a staff person buried deep in the
organizational bureaucracy of the college or university.
Offering social programming. The type and amount of social programming play a significant
role in students' use and misuse of alcohol. One of the most controversial issues is whether to
have a campus pub. Although an on-campus pub offers opportunities for oversight, it may also be a
liability because the college is acting as a host in the provision of alcoholic beverages (Gulland,
1994). The college should be sure it offers student-friendly social activities throughout the week
that do not involve alcohol; many college students appear to be seeking a high-energy, social and
recreational program that follows their biological clock, not that of the overseeing staff. The
University of West Virginia and the University of North Carolina are among the institutions that
have been successful in offering all-night activities that meet students' desires. Key to the
success of this type of nonalcohol social programming is the role that students themselves play in
taking the lead by planning and sponsoring such events (Schroeder, 1999).
Conducting communication campaigns. Colleges and universities are engaging in
communication campaigns to reduce excessive drinking. Some institutions focus on the consequences
of alcohol misuse to the users themselves, while others try to motivate change by empowering those
affected by secondhand effects. Although traditional efforts offer information about alcohol use,
including the devastating and dangerous effects of alcohol misuse (death, serious injury, rape),
newer campaigns feature the social norms approach, which emphasizes the more moderate behavior
that is typical of the student population at large, rather than worst-case examples. (More
detailed descriptions of informational and social norms approaches are provided in the Panel 2
report.) A communication campaign can be based not just on individual intervention strategies but
also on strategies at the social system level, which includes institutional, community, and public
policy levels. At the core of the social systems approach is the belief that people make decisions
about alcohol use based on the physical, social, economic, and legal environment, not just on
personal needs (DeJong, 1998).
Managing special events. Highly populated special events such as football tailgating,
homecoming, special weekends, and senior celebrations are often marked by excessive drinking. The
"just say no" approach—simply mandating that such events cannot occur—does not work and can have
disastrous results (Cohen, 1997; Zimmerman, 1999). A more helpful approach is to involve students
in planning these events from the beginning, sharing with them the need to prevent harmful
consequences that can occur from alcohol misuse. Although these honest, open discussions can make
admissions officers, public relations personnel, and college legal staff nervous, without an
honest assessment of the damage that can result from such gatherings and a genuine commitment to
change, nothing constructive will happen and entrenched behavioral patterns will continue.
Building coalitions. Building campus-community coalitions involves a need to be honest and
open. To form an effective coalition, college officials need to talk honestly about unmonitored
serving in the local bars where identification is not required, the impact of advertising
low-priced drink specials, and the overall campus drinking problem. Such honesty can expose the
college to potential litigation or "bad press," but without such candor, the attention of
community leaders and their help and cooperation are almost impossible to obtain. Such coalitions
can be powerful forces for change. In one experiment, two communities in California and one in
South Carolina organized citizen-led programs for more effective control of alcohol sales. In
contrast to the comparison sites, participating communities cut alcohol sales to minors in half
and reduced single-vehicle accidents by 10 percent (DeJong, 1997; Holder et al., 2000). Although
the risk of public exposure of problem student-drinking behavior exists, taking a stand and
reaching out to work with the community can have a highly positive outcome (Schroeder, 1999).
College administrators need to develop, use, and continually evaluate research related to their
own campus and community. This will enhance knowledge about the effectiveness of program
interventions and the differential vulnerability of specific populations on campus. In addition,
it is important to monitor the image of the college that is being presented through its materials,
student academic performance, and campus incidents related to alcohol use and misuse. The college
should also attempt to determine the various costs related to alcohol misuse by students on
campus. Although very little research is available in this area, some guidance may be available
from recent national studies (Levy et al., 1999; Wechsler et al., 2000c). Focus group research can
augment understanding of trends identified in surveys of campus populations. Ongoing program
evaluations within the institution are crucial to assess the success and impact of any
interventions that are developed and initiated by college administrators to reduce alcohol misuse
on campus. To design a program once and assume it will continue to be useful, effective, and
relevant for years to come is unrealistic.

One of the most important changes to be seen in 0.7.8
I hope, spline trajectories between keyframes could be included in next releases.

Here is something that I have been wondering about for a while:
If you strum all six strings of a guitar in standard (EADGBe) tuning what chord would you play?
I think it would be some variety of a E minor but I am not certain.
It all depends on which chord you want it to be. With GBD, you have a strong G tendency, and with the Es, that leans E minor. With the A, That's an added 4. So EminAdd4 (not suspended, because you still have the G).
But if you want to think of it as an A, With the A and E, you have the root and the fifth. The G is a dominant 7. The B is a 9th away from that E, and the D is again a 4th. No strong major-minor tonality, which can be good.
Back to the G. I said it has the full triad for a G major, with the A (2nd) and the Es, which are the 6th, so G69. Given some time, I could create some justification for it being some sort of Bminor9, too.
I'm sure that some of that is sloppy and not quite according to Hoyle, but the greater point is that chords are made out of notes and notes can be reconstituted into different chords.
It's a mantra of mine that a given chord (or chord name) only properly exists in the context of a specific chord progression.
Thus, the name you give to the chord formed by the 6 open strings of the guitar depends on what key and mode you use this chord in. It might have one name if used in the key of A major, another name if used in the key of E minor, and so forth. And thus it is with all complex chords that go beyond the basic major and minor triads.
I think guitarists get entirely too hung up on giving a name to a particular grouping of notes that are strummed together. The individual pitches are what they are, but the name of the chord depends on how those pitches are being used at the time.
There appears to be a lot of differing opinion as to what this 'chord' is. A lot of these reverse chord finders seem to either find 'A11' or 'Em7add11.' According to this source, the chord is Em7add11.
In the standard tuning (EADGBE) the open chord is A11/E. This means that it is an A chord, with the added 11th (D), 9th (B) and 7th (G) and an E note in the bass. A lot of chords like these are used in jazz. Also, Joe Satriani uses a lot of 11th chords in his songs.
Note, that this kind of notes for the open strings were chosen not because of the chord they create, but because it makes very easy to embellish other chords out of it.
With the root E, the chord contains the 1, 3, 5, 7 and 11, making it an Em11.
I'm calling it Em11. It has the E in the root position, A is the 11 (as long as the b7 is present it's not an add11), D is the b7 making it dominant and not an add, G is the b3 making it minor, B is the 5, E is the tonic. Em11 1,11(4),b7,b3,5,1.
I'v always heard it called an A11. And it never occurred to me that the C# is missing. Em7(add11) seems closer to the mark.
But pragmatically, whenever I use this chord, it is as an atonal "background" accent. That is, it's the chord I play when I want something that "doesn't sound like a chord." Mostly during rhythmic strumming of muted strings; un-muting one or two beats adds just a little bit of growl using tones that are effectively "neutral" to all keys; so it works in any key.
All the chord names suggested so far fail to convey the "hollow effect" of that stack of fourths with no "character tones" (3rd and 6ths) when you emphasize just the lower strings. I'm almost tempted to describe it just as figured-bass (if only I knew the "correct" notation): E\4\7\10\12.
It sounds like an Em11, it's probably because of the E in the bass. It does have the notes of G with an added 6 and 9. I tried to play it in different contexts, and it most often sounds like an E mainly because of the bass note.
Why don't you try it yourself, play some cadences in G, and A and Em (or any other key), and instead of landing on the tonic chord, strum the open strings and you'll notice that it fits best in the key of Em. There is a hint of G and even A in it but they are very unstable due the the inversion and missing note (A has no third).
When I play the A, G progression (mixolydian), after repeating the chords a couple of times to get the sound of the scale in my head, I can strum all strings without fretting instead of playing the G and it still sounds pretty close.
I guess it can function differently depending on the context. But when played alone, I definitely hear it as an E.

Is the number, which is shown above a hero's head when he receives damage, calculated with armor and magic resistance, or is it the damage before any calculations?
There are three types of damage numbers shown: Strong physical attacks, strong spells and damage ticks. Both physical and magical attacks displays the "after calculation" values, but the damage ticks displays "before calculation" values. If I have missed any kind of damage, please post in comments so I can test it and add to this answer.
Strong physical attacks
When strong physical attacks are applied on a target, normally because of a Critical Strike happening, a damage is shown on the target of the damage. The number is the post calculation value, as proved by the following screenshot.
Strong spells
When strong magical damage is applied on a target, specially Lion's and Lina's ult, a damage is shown on the target of the spell. The number is the post calculation value, as proved by the following screenshot.
No donkeys were harmed in the making of this answer.
Damage ticks
Damage ticks are a whole different matter. There are spells like Venomancer's Poison Sting which deal damage per second or over time. For each damage tick, a damage number is shown on the affected hero. However, this number is before any calculation. If a hero is affected with a level 4 Poison Sting, "20" will be shown on the hero's head every damage tick. We can see that this is true by the next screenshot. Skeleton King has a 25% magic resistance. "20" is shown above his head. In the combat log, he received 15 damage.

Let's say you are part of a minyan during a holiday like Sukkot. There is only one Kohen present, so he goes up to perform the birchas kohanim. However, you know - either from reliable sources or even from seeing it yourself - that this kohen is either ignorant (i.e. he doesn't know how to daven properly, and can barely say the proper words of the blessing) and/or is not orthodox (e.g. he came to the shul in his car). What is the procedure here? Should you allow yourself to be blessed by this kohen? Should you walk out just before birchas kohanim?

Shulchan Aruch O.C. Siman 128 discuses the qualifications of a Cohen to recite bircas kohanim. Disqualification include having consumed too much alcohol, having a severe speech impediment, blindness, having taken a human life, having married a disqualifying wife (such as a divorcee) and the recent death of a close relation. The Shulchan Aruch (Sif 39) writes that in absence of aforementioned disqualifying factors, any Kohen may (and is in fact obligated) to recite the blessing, even if he is not scrupulous in his Torah observance as other sins do not invalidate him. The Mishna Berura (S"K 143) writes that this extends even to serious sins such as sexual misconduct. The Shulchan Aruch Harav (S"K 52) brings in parentheses that an exception to this is one who publicly desecrates Shabbos who has the status of a gentile and is thus disqualified from recited bircas kohanim.
The Rambam addresses your concern directly, in Hilkhot Birkat Cohanim, chapter 15, law 7:
I.e., the section of the Torah that explains the commandment of Birkat Cohanim concludes (Numbers 6:27): "ושמו את שמי על בני ישראל ואני אברכם" "And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them." God is the "I" who is speaking; it is always God who blesses. Birkat Cohanim is a mitzvah like any other: the purpose of performing a mitzvah is to perform a mitzvah.

With 2009 you had to right click in the Games Explorer but not with this version, and there's nothing that I can see in that folder
I've just bought this through eSellerate, downloaded (after receiving the link on the invoice) and started installation and the "software delivery wizard" has started which asked me to enter all my credit card details again and takes me to a checkout. I don't want to pay twice what's going wrong?
esellerate versions are almost guaranteed to be non-patched
Do not patch
it already is if you patch you have to re install!
Do not patch
it already is if you patch you have to re install
i just finished downloading i'm about to uninstall 09 the demo and the remaining crappola ... before installing if anyone has any questions feel free to ask i'll check back regularly to help out if i can be useful
anyone else with esellerate mac picking up a crash in late august?
I've done so loading up all of the english leagues with a large database and players from top clubs in every continent retained.
I downloaded from esellerate but the setup file just doesn't run! Anyone willing to help me? And yes, mine is a mac.
i hope i'm not uninstalling 09 too early ? well i'll see when i get to that stage
Last edited by Sampah Mel; 30-10-2009 at 02:32.
by any chance does any one of you know where i can get the tactics and trainings Guide book ?
None are relevant to my problem. Most of them are related to Windows 7. A few that concern Mac are the ones that managed to get into the installation window. I can't even get mine to do that.
FYI, mine is June 2009 MacBook Pro, Snow Leopard, 256mb GeForce 9400M, 4GB DDR3 RAM.
Hey Lucho when you were installing you talked about it trying to charge you twice can you explain how you bypassed that because i'm at that stage and don't want them to charge me twice ... Thank you
I no longer get the eSellerate "software delivery wizard" but when the game loads I now get a message telling me that the disc isn't inserted!!! I don't have the disc because it's eSellerate purchase!!
Any chance Gamers Gate will let me have my game that I've paid for any time soon?
Damn you gamersgate. I'm assuming it will be operational from their office hours. Maybe another hour?
1 minute left from esellerate, pretty good connection speeds 850kb/sec
Hi, Ive purchased, downloaded and installed through steam, all seems ok, but is there a way of starting the game up without going through steam?
Gamersgate is not exactly brilliant and it must suck unless you have a really good internet connection. Mine is 100mbs fibre-optic. The server keeps hanging. Its already stopped downloading four times now.
Overall its taken about 2 hours plus to download. I would say be warned unless your connection is up to scratch.
Have you updated your graphics card drivers? I did, and it helped me.
I just downloaded..installed the patch, but upon startup, there is no way to enter my ID code. It says the "disk was not found" what do I do?
OK, I got it going, but I paid twice for the same product. How do I go about getting a refund for one of them?
Right I have downloaded the game from steam, exactly the same as i did last year but i am unable to install it.... when i go into my games it only shows FM09... Why? Cant find a refresh button and dont know why its not showing....
I have checked my account and it confirms i have purchased the game... I the latest steam client update so????
Please help guys...
I've bought the D2D version which doesn't need patching (apparently), I'm just wondering how that will work with future patches?
Yep, sure will.
Hi Matt, if i bought the game for mac from ESellerate (https://store2.esellerate.net/store/...nePageCart.htm) digital download, do i need to have the image (dmg or iso) mounted to play after i set up the serial? or i can delete the image after the installation complete ,Best.
Hi Matt,
Just a suggestion according to what I saw in the forums during the first hours after the Mac version was released. Maybe you could add to the first post of this thread (the one with the purchase links) the info that the eSellerate version is already patched and does not have to be patched. Seems like quite a few people patched it and couldn't start the game without uninstalling and reinstalling again. Maybe it could help the people that have not purchased the game yet.
Is the mac version from ESellerate multilanguage? with portuguese language, no? thanks

I'm get error 1036 in Uniloc When try activate my game...........
Out of all of these whats the best? (what one is being complained about less)
Game was very good for me. No problems with anything.
I bought game on D2D (downloadable version), pressed Checked update button, it said i need to install 10.1
After I launched game it demands DVD ! WTF ?!
On Jan the second it says i need to activate my game?
i paid the full ammount from esellerate..whats going on?
anyone had the same issue help much needed!
Blimey, my post was moved quickly.
Has it been put in another thread? Or obliterated altogether?
Hi, some feedback: I checked gamersgate (at least there is one place where you are able to get the non-German game in a digital version whilst living in Germany, that's a positive), they charge 50 Euros.
So I decided to purchase from my usual guys in the UK, who will deliver me the DVD in a box for about 35 Euros.
15 Euros less for a delay of a few days (not counting the strikes ), that's easily worth the bit of waiting for me.
I have no idea about who determines what regarding pricing (SEGA, SI, retailers) and I realize SI are probably the last people in the chain who influence the price, but until pricing for the digital version gets more reasonable (instinctively, one would say that the price should be lower rather than higher), I will not consider this option.
i need some help running FM2010 without going online with Steam. I have already purchased and download FM2010 with Steam but i could not run it without going online with Steam. Can you help me out? I remember that you said that I just need to go online with Steam for only once and I can play it without going online. Thanks
I´m one of the ARs, who chose to get the Download Version instead of getting it by post, but I haven´t got the doanload link yet. So I would like to know when I will get the link.
can´t buy it via Steam here from Germany. Now, my question is : Will it be a problem registering a digital download from another seller, as well?
Wanted to get going, but before taking the risk i´d rather buy the boxed copy from amazon and wait till next weekend.
Anybody tried it yet from f.e. Germany ?
EDit : you have to play it via steam on the boxed version as well ? Now i´m really sceptical ...
If you paid by c/card, tell your credit card company AND the supplier that you think it was double charged, and it will be refunded if it was. Same goes for PayPal payments, in both cases tell the supplier as well as they can instantiate a cancellation whereas if they don;t, you have to wait for the billing period to end and then the payer instigates the refund

Hi Matt,
I was wondering if you could advise me how I can turn football manager to offline playing and how this works, so that for example if I am out and dont have an internet connection that I can still play the game.
I was also wondering if you can advise me if football manager can be played on netbooks as I had previously installed my FM2009 on my netbook but it wouldnt let me play the game saying "unable to open full screen mode"
I have bought and installed FM10 from direct2drive.
Its all installed fine and my computer spec is good for the game 2ghz processor dual core 3gb ram anxd 1244mb graphics
It runs so slowly it sounds like it has to read alot of info off my hardrive constantly and every few seconds ill press continue and nothing will happen for a minute.
Demo worked fine cant believe what a waste of 30 quid so far it cant surely run like this.
Any suggestions please do feel free to tell me.
Ive updated drivers, Java and defrag drive and done a disk clean up its a 4 month old laptop.
Mega PI**ed off!!
Are you using Steam? If so, from the file menu, select "Offline mode" and you won't need to connect. Alternatively, if you have a disk and don't want to use Steam - just keep the disk in the drive.
As for netbooks - well, I guess it depends on the system spec and how it stacks up against the minimum. If you have a specific question start a thread in the tech forum or contact SEGA customer services for advice.
Considering how to do backup, I have a quick question: I bought the game through eSellerate for Mac (fantastic game, by the way!). If the game gets deleted from my hard drive for some reason, will I be able to install it again using the installer and the serial number I got from eSellerate or does the serial number only work once?
I have downloaded FM2010 from GamersGate.
Installed the game...activated, and it started.
Then, I donwloaded the patch, installed it. Now, when i start the game it says that I do not have the CD!!!
Can anyone help me?
Probably a stupid question but the box set is mac/pc right? I bought via steam this year and I also have a mac laptop thanks to work. Is there any chance I can obtain a mac version on the basis of having paid for the pc steam version? I expect not, but I'm not buying twice and I'd love to play on the train!
Owing to the postal strike in England delaying my game from zavvi fo rI don't know how long, I'm bracing myself to pay top dollar for a digital download.
I've had recurrent nightmares with Steam and won't go there again, and GamesPlanet say that won't download to Asia, so that just leaves GamersGate.
Can anyone recommend this to me, given that internet connections here are slow and unreliable. I'm prepared to wait 4 or 6 hours for the download, but will it be okay of the connection breaks mid-way? When I pay and download the game will it just live in my computer for me to play off-line or online without interference, or will it try to inveade and take over my life like Steam, telling me to reinstall and all that hell?
Thanks in advance.

Any info on digital downloads from Japan? I've tried so many places but it just doesn't seem to work.
Will any of those download sites 'sell' to Germany?
I tried with 2D2 but then it said "Error! The download is country restricted on your IP" and Steam didn't show me FM10 as an option (actually nearly downloaded FIFA Manager 10 instead by mistake ).
The others didn't warn me but I'm afrauid there the error message will come only after I paid
So anything I can do?
edit: Problem solved GamersGate works

Hi, can i register it on a german PC without problems when buying via gamersgate ? (can´t buy via steam)
How many pc's can i use the game on? and how do i go about setting it up on my laptop when i have already set it up on my pc?
I'm not the best with computers but I have just purchased a new shiny HP laptop with all the requirements to meet my needs. However, I dont have a copy of FM 2010 and after last year, when my computer crashed after installing steam and had to be repaired I am not sure what to do. I have heard that buying a boxed copy of the game does not require steam but the digital download needs something else. I am not sure if I should just buy the boxed version or download it. If I buy the boxed copy I know that I will have to keep the disc in the drive and that is not a problem but does this still cause problems? Please answer because I cant live on my FM 08!
my game on fm 2010 is crashing and file is showing the directory crash dump after selecting the leagues and then going to loading the game. please can you give a fix for the crash on fm2010
Matt, how many activations for digital download version? I used one activation, and at the second attempt to get this error:
"It appears this license key is over its device limit. The key is currently active on too many computers. Error code: -1004"

Hey quick question, possibly has been asked already but there are wayy too many posts in here to read them all.
I am about to purchase this through eSellerate. My question is, if I was to buy a new Mac in the near future, would I have to pay for it and download it again, since I don't have a disk or what?
also, I'm trying to activate my copy now, how many digits should the serial be? I'm copying and pasting it, but it says there's an incorrect amount of digits.

Just want to pop my head in and say that GamersGate is absolute rubbish. 15kb/s for a 1.2 GB game? ETA 14 hours+
I buied Football Manager 2010 from GamersGate.
First, after downloaded the installation programma, Install Anywhere arrived at 38% of installation then stopped and close, without any message.
I re-dowloaded all, but now at 99% I.A. ask me for another units where install , everty time, also if I set another folder o another driver...
I buied a game but i haven't a game! I'm very angry about this!
Anyone knows how resolve this problem??
Yeah. Gamersgate have numerous threads for different games where people complain about poor quality. It generally looks like it's international customers though, and gamersgate have said this is a known issue and they're looking into acquiring a US based server at Christmas 09.
Basically, if you're not in Europe - I'd look elsewhere. Until Christmas, anyway.
Just bought it via eSellerate (for Mac) and chose USD which, at the current rate, makes the game cost me ~20€! Now that's a good deal...
I've got a huge problem, that no one else at SI seems to be able to help me with.
I received my receipt from with my serial number on it. I try to activate, but the game continues to tell me it's a corrupt key. I've sent a couple of emails to Marc Duffy, but haven't received any emails back from him yet. I emailed Anthony, he's been as helpful as he could be, but I don't think it's his department. Esellerate only sent me an email back, saying they're only the purchasing agent, and don't have anything to do with the key.
I can't activate the game, it won't let me progress any further, and I'm starting to feel some frustration.
Can you help? When I try to put the serial number in, whether it be typing or pasting, I get this message:
The serial number validation failed. Please ensure you entered the correct serial number. Retrieved corrupt key.
Any help?
Have you already tried SEGA customer services for this? http://help.sega.com/?group=englishuk&t=EnglishUK
Matt, not yet. I'll try them. I've sent two emails to esellerate and Marc Duffy asking for new keys and I've just started a re-download, but with my superslowmo internet connection, it'll be a good day and a half before I get the setup downloaded. I'll try the SEGA customer service and see what they say. Thanks!
Do that - they should be able to help.
Anybody know how to deactivate the game?
I own both a Mac and a PC. I bought the game via eSellerate for Mac. Can I use that key on Steam and have FM10 installed both on my PC and Mac?
Nothing yet from the Sega Customer Service, but I believe I have found the problem. Esellerate, in their activation process, receives an Installation ID from the computer the software is going to be installed on. I believe my internet connection was too slow and timed-out during that process. Where can I find this Installation ID? I could manually activate it through the esellerate website.
Thanks, hoping this well finally work.
No word yet from Sega.
Sorry, SEGA still hasn't gotten back to me. It's been 4 days now. I'm not holding out hope SEGA can or will even be able to help me.
I've got a corrupt serial key. The one sent to me isn't working, all I need is a new key. I can deal with having to turn my internet off everytime I go to start the game, but the activation is starting to bug me. It's just a bad key, I just need a new one.
PM me your email and your ticket number please.
Hi Gents, can anyone help please?
We have bought FM2010 yesterday and my brother has installed it via steam on his laptop. I now want to instal it on mine and steam tells me the activation code has been used and it wont let me download it.
Surely I dont need to buy the game as well, and we can instal it on 2 computers in the same house ?
Matt, they returned my email yesterday, but said they couldn't help. I'd need to go through the retailer. Marc Duffy is helping me out, hopefully he can straighten things out. Thanks.
Ok - please let me know if this doesn't happen overnight and I'll try and fix tomorrow when back in the office.
I want to change kit style. (3d) (belly style : )
Please SI change it.
Think it....

Is it possible to grant priviliges to a "no-root-user" to start and/stop/restart the mysql server on a suse machine?
The goal is to make it for a developer possible to tune a mysql server/database and track some error down, which occure while an application corresponds with the mysql server. The server is on a SUSE machine.
At the moment the user is in the group
mysql which grants him access to the logfile in
/var/log/mysqld.log. But after tweaking the
my.cnf he was not able to restart the server. So it seams, that he needs more rights then only beeing in the group
Thanks for any suggestions in advance!
Additional question: Are there more priviliges that should be granted to him to garanty his workflow, while working and administrating the mysql server?

You have procured the perfect fabric for your dress! It is drop-dead gorgeous.
And I really liked hearing about your fabric resources in Hong Kong. A friend of DH comes from Hong Kong and we talked about it last night. I dream of visiting some day.
And it seems really efficient to display fabric the way you described, with short lengths on display. Interesting!

Unity is currently only indexing and displaying a shallow set of file results.
Suppose I want to open the file "/home/Music/Creedence Clearwater Revival/Willy and the Poor Boys/The-Midnight-Special.mp3".
I open the "Files and Folders" lens and type "The Midnight Special". Unfortunately, the song doesn't display. I try "Willy and the Poor Boys" but that folder doesn't display either.
The only folder that does display in the lens is "Music". Therefore I must open the "Music" folder then navigate through the entire directory tree to open the file I want.
How do I get a deeper index of files to display in the "Files and Folders" lens?
Thanks for your help!

Artist Spotlight: Victor Gadino
Victor Gadino's commercial and fine artwork is exquisitely rendered, formally composed on classic lines, and breathtakingly sexy. It's a small wonder that his groundbreaking book cover illustrations worked hand in hand with Gordon Merrick's equally groundbreaking gay romance novels to make a seismic shift in the mainstreaming of gay content. These paperbacks sold in supermarkets! If you are a gay man of a certain age, you will most likely recall seeing them everywhere — especially The Lord Won't Mind (a title for the ages, in this period of the Christian right's aggressive campaign to deny LGBT people their equal rights and even deny their existence). Gadino continues to work in New York creating art for books, film, and ad campaigns as well as creating fine artwork on his own. He also creates amazing portraits and sells giclee reproductions of his work. See the bottom of the page for contact info and see page 18, Wessley, for an example of one of his custom portraits.
The Advocate: Why are you an artist?
Victor Gadino: Actually, I didn't choose it ... it chose me. My earliest memories are of holding a crayon or pencil and drawing. I was 3 or 4. Where does that come from? Who knows? Some people have told me I'm channeling spirits, and it really does feel that way sometimes. Although I was an art major in college and received an MFA from Pratt, most of what I leaned was self-taught. My professors were afraid to talk to me about all the homoerotic images I was creating, and so they just left me alone to draw and paint, but then almost canceled my thesis show because of the realistically rendered graphic subject matter. Luckily, an open-minded faculty member fought for me and the show opened uncensored.
What catches your eye?
Extreme beauty that verges on the grotesque.
Tell us about your process or techniques.
Being an artist is so at the core of what I am. It's all I've ever known or been. I've never had a job outside of my commercial illustration work. It's like therapy for me. It's how I cope with feelings and emotions as I try to navigate through life and its mysteries. I use mythology, religion, and the human form to explore the physical world and answer my questions of what might lie beyond it.
Although my work resembles academic realism — I love most of the Victorian painters — I do not use traditional techniques. For example, I usually paint from top to bottom and left to right. There is no under-painting. The finished piece is totally completed in my head before I even start. It just need to get it out of me.This is when I go into an almost trancelike state where I totally lose track of time and forget to eat or drink. Sometimes the day flies by and I don't realize it until the brush falls out of my hand because it's gotten so stiff. But I'm not aware of any pain ... that is, until I stop. I don't recommend it.
How do you choose your subjects?
Mostly I feel some kind of connection or attraction to an individual. It starts out visually but then goes deeper. It's a challenge because many people think you are hitting on them if you ask them to come to your studio to pose. Unfortunately, I've had to pass on a lot of extremely interesting strangers I see on the street or subway, potential models who might look at you funny or sock you in the jaw if approached them. And then there are some people who show up and can't wait to get out of their clothes. It's like they expect sex to be part of the unique artist-model relationship. And sometimes I feel obliged to comply.
On getting the Gordon Merrick cover assignments?
I was very young and just starting out as an illustrator to make money. In those days you could make appointments with the art directors of the various publishing houses and walk in lugging a big heavy portfolio of original paintings and printed covers. Avon books decided to rerelease the Merrick novels as typical mass market romance paperbacks. Up until then they had simple covers and were sold in specialty shops or from "under" the counter. The head art director was a strong female with vision and a great eye. It was the early days of gay liberation and she recognized the time was right. She saw my talent and gay sensibility and gave me the assignment for the first cover, the most conservative one, An Idol for Others. I never met Mr. Merrick, but I was told he was not happy with the mature model I used and thought he looked too old. He was, however, very pleased with the eight covers that followed, all using handsome young models. I made sure to clear the gay issue with the modeling agencies before I booked the models. The guys that were comfortable with their sexuality, be it straight or gay, were fine posing. And those that were homophobic refused.
With each assignment I was given the book to read and the suggestion of a scene to illustrate. They were extremely sexually graphic for their time. Now that we are so desensitized by reality TV, I'm sure they seem tame. But they were are full of gorgeous muscle numbers, beautiful exotic locations, and they were well written. And I guess Avon Books was right about the timing. The books were so popular, men from all over the country wrote me fan mail about how much the books and the covers meant to them, helped them come out or cope with being gay. The one I wish I had saved was a glowing letter of appreciation from a Catholic archbishop! Go figure.
Was it risky in those years for my career doing male-oriented art ?
I 'm sure I missed out on some jobs for Good Housekeeping or Woman's Day, but I never felt that my male-oriented art limited me or held me back in illustration. Unfortunately, today there is still resistance to accepting the male nude as fine art in the museum and gallery scene. That I'm still waiting on to change.

About Gordon Merrick:
If Barbara Cartland and Jacqueline Susann had a gay love child, it would be Gordon Merrick. His life — privileged upbringing, Princeton, Broadway actor, journalist, counterespionage officer, and finally world-renowned author of the first gay romances — was like that of one of his characters.
As a young, wealthy, and unbelievably gorgeous young man, Merrick dropped out of Princeton from boredom and hit Broadway to become an actor. After getting roles in top Broadway hits (The Man Who Came to Dinner) he quit ... from boredom. It was too repetitive.
He wrote his first best seller, Strumpet Wind, which contained some references to homosexuality, and this gave him the seed money to start writing his more directly gay romance novels. It also allowed him to live all over the world: Mexico, the island of Hydra in Greece, and finally, Sri Lanka.
The book he is best known for, The Lord Won't Mind, sat on the New York Times best-seller list for 16 weeks — in 1970! The first in a trilogy, Merrick followed it up with One for the Gods in 1971 and Forth Into Light in 1974. His style is overblown and dramatically romantic. His continuing characters — Charlie and Peter — are both exquisitely good-looking, perfectly muscular, and enormously endowed. And blond. And rich.
Merrick broke new ground with these books. These were not the tortured, gay-man-dies-for-his-sins books of the 1950s. These men had rampant sex and these books had happy endings — but not without operatic turmoil first. And then there were the covers painted by Victor Gadino. There was nothing coy or shady about these covers — they matched the current vogue in paperback covers for other romance novels, pout for pout, but they featured a male couple.
Merrick's writing was criticized as shallow and looks-obsessed. He defended his writing by saying that the desire for male beauty was a core value in being a gay man. But looking critically at his work is missing the point. His books are deliriously fun and deeply campy — the way only things that take themselves too seriously can be. If you scour the used-book stalls you may find some of the reissues Alyson Books came out with in the 1990s.

I have used
WAITFOR combined with a cursor in the following script:
create table orders(orderId int primary key,productId int,productName varchar(20));
insert into orders values(1,11,'book');
insert into orders values(2,13,'flower');
insert into orders values(3,24,'microwave');
insert into orders values(4,7,'food');
insert into orders values(5,46,'clothes');
declare cur cursor for
select * from orders;
open cur;
fetch next from cur;
waitfor delay '00:00:01';
fetch next from cur;
close cur;
deallocate cur;
I'm looking to display one record from the cursor per the specified interval of 1 second. For example: display the first row, then wait a second; display the second row, then wait a second; and so on. The cursor above does not do that. Say
orders has 5 rows. The
WHILE block waits 5 seconds and then displays all records together.
Is this the cursor's fault? How can I modify this script to work as intended?

Christmas in July is used by retail stores to encourage you to spend your money in their stores during the doldrums of summer. But if it is Christmas in July, then shouldn't we have New Year's in August? August signifies the end of the summer break and the start of the school year. The evenings are cooler and all our thoughts turn to the beginning of the academic year. For many of us, August signifies the end of our vacation days and September begins the long haul of back to work without a break from Labor Day until Columbus Day. August seems like the natural end of the year.
I imagine that most of us have abandoned all the resolutions we made New Year's Eve and by the end of August we can barely remember what we pledged to change. Diet? Exercise? More family time? Stop smoking? We pledged it all and somewhere around March and most of us are back to our normal habits with little change. Keeping resolutions can be very difficult. So how about if we create a new way of making resolutions for our brand new celebration of New Year's in August.
Very few of us have success with our resolutions so New Year's in August resolutions should be shaped realistically to bring us success. Instead of individual resolutions, suppose we create resolutions for us as a family. Since we are looking at the start of the school year it is the perfect time to sit down and pledge to change our behavior together for the better as we move into a new school year. Of course, you and your family can develop whatever resolutions would work for you but here are four that we pledged.
Family meals: We are pledging to have one meal a week together as a family. I don't know about your family, but we are all so busy with work, sports, jobs and carpooling that often it feels like we eat in shifts. Notice we are not saying a dinner together — a breakfast Saturday morning or Sunday lunch might be the best choice for our family and yours.
D.E.A.R. Time: Drop Everything and Read Time: This is a 10-minute period of time, once a week, when everyone in the family stops whatever they are doing and reads. You can read whatever you want — just no reading on an electronic device!
Two Good, One Bad: Often when you ask, "How was your day?" the response is, "Fine." "What did you do?" "Nothing." These scintillating answers are not conducive to conversation, so we are instituting Two Good, One Bad. Everyone has to tell two good things that happened that day and one bad thing (if there was one). One- word answers won't cut it so we have framed the questions to garner better answers.
Page 2 of 2 - Grow our giving: Many of us find the time and money to help others. We donate or give our time, but this resolution is helping us to find something that we can do as a family to help improve the world. With deliberation, sit down together and investigate community service opportunities for you to do as a family. Whether it is joining in a neighborhood cleanup, offering to stock shelves in a food pantry or collecting gently used clothing or blankets from friends and relatives, there are many opportunities for families to serve together as a family. If you need help in finding these opportunities feel free to contact me and I will steer you in the right direction.
In order to celebrate our new holiday New Year's in August we are going to forgo the champagne and offer a lemonade toast and sign a family pledge to do our best to keep these resolutions for the year. We know that most people abandon resolutions very quickly but we are hoping that by pledging as a family we will have the support of each other to stick with it throughout the year! In the meantime, best wishes for a happy, healthy and peaceful August New Year!

I have just started reading topology so I am a total beginner but why are topological spaces defined in terms of open sets? I find it hard and unnatural to think about them intuitively. Perhaps the reason is that I can't see them visually. Take groups, for example, are related directly to physical rotations and numbers, thus allowing me to see them at work. Is there a similar analogy or defintion that could allow me to understand topological spaces more intuitively?
There is a MathOverflow question about this very issue; this answer is a nice intuitive explanation, though you will probably also find some of the other answers useful.
From Wikipedia:
In topology and related branches of mathematics, the Kuratowski closure axioms are a set of axioms which can be used to define a topological structure on a set. They are equivalent to the more commonly used open set definition. They were first introduced by Kazimierz Kuratowski, in a slightly different form that applied only to Hausdorff spaces.
In "Quantales and continuity spaces" Flagg develops the notion of a metric space where the distance function takes values in a value quantale. A value quantale is an abstraction of the properties of the poset $[0,\infty]$ needed for 'doing analysis'. It is then showed that every topological space $X$ is metrizable in the sense that there exists a value quantale $V$ (depending on the topology on $X$) such that the topological space $X$ is given by the open balls determined by a metric structure on $X$ with values in $V$. At this level of abstraction it is thus seen that the open sets axiomatization for topology is nothing but the good old notion of a metric space, only taking values in value quantales other than $[0,\infty]$.
Think of the half-open interval $(0,1]$ with the usual open sets (e.g. $(1−ε,1]$ is an open neighborhood of $1$.
Then modify the collection of sets considered "open" so that every open neighborhood of $1$ contains some set of the form $(1−ε,1]∪(0,ε)$, i.e. it covers small parts of BOTH ends of the interval. Can you understand that this modification in which sets are considered open also modifies the way in which the space is connected together?

Are there nuclear plants that allow you to tour the facility and learn more about nuclear power while the plant is running?
You can do that in Switzerland:
Something else along the same lines is the ZWILAG, the temporary storage for radioactive waste. I visited that one and it was quite interesting.
In the UK. EDF Energy is opening new visitor centres at their nuclear power plants across the country, specifically:
It also says that pre arranged site tours are available.
In addition to commercial nuclear power plants, the world has many small university reactors used for research and education. For example, in the Los Angeles area a quick google search showed that UC Irvine has a reactor that allows group tours by appointment.
In France, you can visit EDF's energy plants. You just need a valid ID (passport, ID card, etc.)
The tours are great! You can talk with technicians, engineers, plays with interactive setups to understand the processes, etc.
You can also visit Kozloduy NPP in Bulgaria.
In Australia you can tour the Lucas Heights nuclear reactor, the only one in the nation. Note that while it is indeed a nuclear reactor it is not a nuclear power plant, as it is dedicated to producing radioisotopes as a research facility.
Poland doesn't have any nuclear power plants (yet), but it has a research reactor Maria in Świerk, near Warsaw, which provides tours for organized groups, targeted mostly for students.
Key information from the web site (Polish only):
Just east of Toronto is the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station. The operators claim:
That site offers a link to a video tour of the site. Reporters and teachers have clearly been on a physical tour, since pictures and reports of the inside are easy to find, but I can't find a page online with the details. You could call or email the information centre to ask:
Time sensitive update: I just received an email that reads in part:
Quoting http://www.texasoutside.com/glenrose/sites.htm, "About a mile inside the front gate of the [Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant] is the Visitors Center, open from 9 am to 4 pm Monday through Saturday. Group tours can be arranged by reservation only. The Visitors Center offers several interactive displays and a 10-minute video explaining how nuclear power is made. The tour includes a view of a control room simulator in which reactor operators are trained, as well as a driving tour for an up-close view of Comanche Peak Power Plant. Travel north on FM 56, to the Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant — (254) 897-5554."

Of those, only 20 can actually run games at a level you'd be comfortable with. That remaining 20 has 2-3 display resolutions and graphics architectures to support, and only that same amount of phones has enough users to justify development -- but that combined group ends up being considerably smaller than the iOS group you could reach. You end up either giving up sales or building for the lowest common denominator.iOS may have limited selection, but it's much, much, much easier to develop knowing that you'll hit a big swath of users -- including much larger media player and tablet audiences. You can also optimize your code much more effectively. Knowing that fewer people will steal your game just makes it that much easier to justify supporting iOS first or exclusively.
