Welcome to Crouchy's Calcio Journeyman Save Thread!
I have been threatening to start a career thread for some time now and I think I'm finally going to get around to it at last!
Many of you will know that I am a creature of habit and that I usually play a long-term save with St. Albans City (otherwise known as the 'mighty' Saints). However, I decided not to start my usual Saints save until the January updates this year, and so I will not be unleashing that particular career upon you just yet. ('Crouchy's Mighty Saints Save' is coming soon to a Career Updates forum near you!)
I was inspired to start a journeyman career game in Italy after reading John Foot's excellent book Calcio, which is about the history of Italian football. I found the book fascinating and it immediately become one of my all time favourite football books. I thoroughly recommend it.
As someone who loves the tactical side of the game, admires Italian football and loves to drink Chianti and Frascati, I figured Italy could be the place for me in my first FM10 save. When I saw this video on YouTube and thought of James Richardson drinking espresso and eating ice-cream while reading the papers in Rome and Milan, I immediately became very nostalgic and decided that this was going to be the save for me!
This thread probably won't be as good as some of the others on here. I'm going to steal the Dafuge template for end of season updates. Other than that, there will be the occasional interjection to let you know how things are progressing. It's all going to be very informal and probably a bit messy too as it is my first update thread!
So here it is: Crouchy's Calcio Journeyman Thread!
This game is played on FM10 and started with patch 10.1 with no edits made to the database. Leagues loaded are: Italy (all divisions), Spain (top two), England (top two). Medium database selected and current international players in Europe retained.

Yemen LNG Co. has repaired the country's only
liquefied-natural-gas pipeline supplying its plants after it
was sabotaged earlier this month, a person familiar with the
matter said this week.
But the pipeline isn't operational yet, the person told
Dow Jones Newswires.
The latest attack, the eighth in a year, hit the 38-inch gas
pipeline that links block 18 to the Balhaf terminal on the Gulf
of Aden on Dec. 16.
It came only a few weeks after the plants resumed operation
following a sabotage in late October.

Boy Scouts

Dear?Editor: News reports indicate that the national leaders of the Boy Scouts are considering changing their longstanding policy against having openly homosexual Scout leaders or Scouts....
Does this mean that the Boy Scouts will soon be selling "Twinkies"????

"The current policy is part of the BSA's efforts to protect Scouts from sexual abuse."
This fear tactic is not based in any truth. The overwhelming percentage of pedophiles are straight white men. This fearmongering is shameful. The Times Leader should be embarrassed to print such a letter.

1971 Plymouth Satellite Dent Fix - How To Fix A DentWritten by on March 1, 2009 Metalworking Magic You Can Perform At Home To Cure Mangled Steel.
Learn the secrets of the bodywork trade and you become one step closer to the goal of automotive self sufficiency. It's no secret that paint and body related repairs are among the most expensive aspects of a project, but in terms of many of these tasks, the bulk of the expense is for time and skill, not necessarily for materials. Mastering some of these talents can dramatically affect the costs involved in a project. In fact, with a proficiency in bodyman's techniques, you will look at a prospective project car in an entirely different light.
An example here is a 1971 Plymouth Satellite that I recently acquired. This classic Mopar body style has been on my watch list for years, and an opportunity presented itself when an excellent example showed up for sale locally. A careful examination of the 340-powered machine revealed no trace of rust, and a body that is virtually pristine, with one glaring exception: a significantly kinked right front fender. The deep crease and buckling of the fender just over the wheel well represented a difficult repair. This wasn't a simple dent that could be lightly worked back to shape; here we had distorted and stretched metal, and it ruined the otherwise clean appearance of the car. Although it is possible to replace the front fender, finding a good example would require a significant investment in time, effort and money, since there are currently no reproductions. Despite the damage, the car was purchased with confidence that the fender could be fixed. Here's how it was done.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Even a passing glance to the passenger side of the car draws the eye straight to the creased and buckled right front fender. Rather than look for a replacement for this vintage sheetmetal, we decided that it could be repaired.Since most of the damage can be accessed from inside the wheelwell, the car was jacked up and firmly supported with heavy-duty jackstands under the framerails, and the wheel removed to gain access. The minimal trim was then unbolted.To help visualize and assess the damage, the dent was eyeballed at a low angle and it was marked-up to map it. I use lines or circles to mark depressions, and a series of X's to mark high spots or ridges. These marks will be helpful later in hammering out the dent.Step one is to rough-out the damage with a hammer and dolly. The dolly backs up the hammer blows and focuses the force, allowing the metal to be reshaped by the hammer blows. The outer edge of the fender sets the critical line, and lends support to the adjacent metal.We knocked the lower line to rough shape, and rough-worked the creases, banging out the metal from the inside, but with damage like this, you will never get the metal to sit right because it is stretched and work-hardened from the hammering. The low spot pointed out here will not come out without "oil-canning," or wanting to spring back down. The area just forward where the main crease was hammered out is stretched, and sits proud of the surrounding metal.Getting the metal to cooperate requires heat-shrinking. This will pull in the excess metal, allowing it to sit flat, and anneal the steel, relieving the stress so that it can be worked. There are many variations of hot-shrinking, and the effect will vary depending on the extent of the heat zone, and whether it is cold-quenched, with a wider heat zone. (Quenching increasing the effect, though control becomes more difficult.)The "heat and hammer" technique was used on all the shrinks done to this fender, using the hammer and dolly quickly after heating a spot to dull red, and allowing it to air cool. Note that the metal is coming into shape.At this point, all of the heat shrinks have been completed, and all that is left is to finish massaging the metal. A homemade slapper is used against the dolly to planish (hammer it flat) the metal.With the hammer and torch work finished, the area was sanded with a D/A sander to remove the paint and burnt primer. The metal can be checked for any remaining defects and bumped with more hammer work as required. The quality of the repair will depend on your metal working skills. Other than a few hammer marks, this is virtually a perfect metal-finish.
With the metal work done, a light skim of filler will follow to fill any minor imperfections. We used Evercoat Rage Xtreme, which is a very good, smooth filler, making it ideal for thin applications. When hardener is added to the filler, a little more or less can vary the cure time. It is best to mix it a little slow when covering a large area.The mud was skimmed over the whole area. It was slopped on and then worked to a smooth thin layer using a plastic spreader. The spreader can be flexed to match the curvature of the panel for a nice, even, coat of filler.An air file with 40-grit was used to rough the filler. Work in long diagonal strokes, keeping the file moving with the flow of the body panels. Any low spots will quickly show up, and sometimes a re-application will be required to get the filler perfect.The air file is followed by 80-grit, and then 180-grit on a long board by hand. This eliminates the deep sanding scratches that can resurface later in the paint as the topcoat and primers shrink back. Although the entire repair area is coated in filler, it is paper thin, actually no thicker than the old paint in most areas.After the filler, an additional step is to glaze the entire surface with glazing filler, to fill any pinholes or rough edges in the base filler. We used Evercoat Metal Glaze, which is essentially very fine, thin filler. The glaze was hand-sanded as the filler was, with 80-grit followed by 180-grit, again using the long board.Next comes the primer. We used Evercoat Feather Fill, which is an inexpensive polyester primer surfacer, with good filling and sanding qualities. It mixes with the same hardener used in fiberglass resin.The panel was given three medium coats of primer using an inexpensive touch-up gun. Make sure the primer goes on wet and smooth to reduce the amount of sanding needed later.Our repaired Satellite fender is a far cry from the mangled mess we started with, and thanks to the metal work, even the inside of the panel doesn't show the tell-tails of the previous damage. The repair will be left in primer for now, and little by little the rest of the car's body will be prepped for paint.

When is the proper time to eat dairy on Shavuos? (night meal, day meal, prior to day meal, Shul Kiddush)
Sign up

There are many different minhagim when it comes to Milchigs on Shvous. I know the Yekehs have a milchig meal at night. Many people have the Minhag to eat a Milchig meal by day. The chassidim on the other hand, will have some milchigs after kiddush (by day) and then wait half an hour before eating a full fleishig meal. (The logic being that a Seudah's yom tov needs to be with meat).
according to the rema oc 494,3 who first cites this minhag - and according to the machatzis hasehekel there - 7, one needs to have separate breads to be yotzei the korban shni halechem - that means a milchig meal followed by a fleishig meal is proper. r m feinstein - Shu"t Igros Moshe (O.C. vol. 1, 160) wrote that this is the best way to go as well.
see relevant article here
I heard of a Chasidic Rebbe whose minhag on Shavous was to mix his morning tea with a spoon that was milchig ben-yomo.
So I guess you can be yotze with anything from there and beyond :).

That was a nice video. The features that was talked about are something which I need today. I was hoping that team foundation server already had these.
Team foundation server is an interesting tool. At the end of the video, he talks about "Visualizing Change" which in a sense is taking change management data and creating visual representations of that data so you can determing what product branches include what features or what patch collections fix what bug numbers. I found I had to use my imagination a bit to see how this might apply at my company, but I could see that it would empower the IS Leaders to know more of what is in play faster and speaking to fewer people. This ultimately means they are better informed as to what is going on in their department. The data is pretty high level, so it would probably be most interesting where a manager is trying to get general information, or someone from another group is trying to get the 5000 ft view of another team's efforts. In many ways, it is the logical extension of the data that's being aggregated by teams in team server.
I enjoyed the video and look forward to seeing more.
I want download a programme for visualize change and branch. it's possible you say me where ?
Thank you

Looking for a camera for my six year old. We have one of the V-Tech child cameras, which he loves, but the pictures it takes are amazingly awful. Basically I am looking for a rugged point-and-shoot.
The Olympus Tough-8010 is the most indestructible camera there is. It is point and shoot, shockproof, drop-proof, waterproof and freezeproof. My baby even managed to take a picture of herself with the predecessor model (Tough-8000) after biting it for a few minutes! Here's a funny commercial for an older model, it gives you an idea of the 'tough' part.
It will really depend on how mature your kid is. Even at 6 some kids could be trusted with a full SLR setup. I was. Thats why I am doing what I do today. If the kid is good with their toys, do not be afraid to get them something with a bit more bang. I bought 2 Canon PowerShot 1300s for my niece and nephew that are not much older. Its a great hobby for them when they travel to document the trip. If they get broken, it can be replaced. But so far the kids have taken good care of their cameras.
I simply got a refurbished older model point and shoot for my 5 year old. The pictures aren't great, but they're worlds better than the V-Tech camera quality. For a little less than $50, it's not quite expendable, but it is replaceable, and she's been very responsible with it. It's been a year, and it's still working.
I'd agree with Chris. My daughter, now almost 12!, has been using my Canon 40D, with battery grip and 70-200, for a year or so without drama. Although I couldn't stretch to another DSLR for her for Christmas, she is getting a SX120 as a stepping stone.
I know this is an old question but I wanted to add one aspect that hasn't been touched on in the above.
Consider how accessible the controls (and other stuff) are to the child. Children develop so-called "fine motor skills" at different ages and some of the controls on cameras can be very fiddly. I have an old Kodak Easyshare which I let my eldest (7yrs) use, but the mode-select method is via a manual dial which is very hard for him to turn correctly.
Also, his vision is not 100% so the size of the screen makes a significant difference for him.
I think the Recesky Twin Lens camera is a great option.
It is a plastic film camera. I built it with my little son. It does not need batteries to operate. My son can learn how the focus, aperture and shutter works. He could see the image shown on the top of the camera. We learn a lot about optics and physics by the simple handy toy.

Don't Smoke! Essay 14
Please use for reference only.
Frances DeMasi Middle School, Marlton, NJ
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
Smoking Cigarettes
Why should you never start smoking? Even a two year old should know that!! Ok, some kids say it relieves stress. Well you will get plenty of relaxation if you keep smoking. You'll be DEAD!!!!! It's no surprise; it's just plain stupid!! Just because an overgrown camel, a yee-ha cowboy, or family members smoke, THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO!!!!! I don't know about you, but I don't think we should sell cigarettes. Sure, a lot of people will lose jobs; but they should go to college and get a good job. Maybe a professional sports star or a lawyer.
Smoking can prevent you from having a good career.
If you are already smoking, why should you stop? Listen to me or not; it's up to you. If you have asthma, like me, STOP!! I am never going to smoke because it's even worse for us asthma patients. I should know. My mom works in a hospital, and she tells me when people come in from asthma attacks and they smoked. I am glad my mom told me about this; it is a lesson I hope to keep for life.
Well, if you decide to start or keep smoking, go ahead. I don't care. It's your life on the life on the line; not mine.

Bentley has recently unveiled the driving specifications and photos of the new 2013 Mulsane Mulliner ahead of the car's official debut at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show. But to many the car was a disappointment since it didn't look sporty enough, although it does have quite a powerful engine and a plush interior. It is the look where the 2013 Mulsane Mulliner lets you down a little. Wish Bentley had done a little more in that front.

Excluding translucent pieces, how many colours of official LEGO bricks are there?
The official LEGO color chart at Peeron has 179 colors listed. There are 14 listed as "transparent" (or "tr"), so - 165.
The Peeron guide also lists CMYK, RGB, HTML Hex Codes (displayed as the sample), and Pantone numbers for each.
The latest palette officially released by LEGO in 2010 has 51 colors in use, including 33 regular colors, 14 transparent, and 4 "effect" (silver, gold, metallic, phosphorescent).
Of course, as 81bronco points out, there have been a lot more, but these are the one LEGO was effectively using as of january 2010. In the few years before that, LEGO was busy rationalizing its palette of colors to eliminate seldom used colors as much as posible. Considering the downsize to 51, I don't think they've removed any more since.
This Flickr image from Brick Colorstream shows all the known colours of Lego bricks, charted along a timeline of when they were available. According to that image, there was one new colour in 2015, "Conductive Black".
According to the LEGO customer service site which allows you to search by color family, there are 9 color families and 23 exact colors:

I'm having trouble getting the correct results in my query. I'm using Mysql and here is what I have so far:
SELECT cpn, status, title, value_category, rating_category, parts.id
FROM `vendors`
INNER JOIN `vendor_parts` ON (`vendors`.`id` = `vendor_parts`.`vendor_id`)
INNER JOIN `parts` ON (`parts`.`id` = `vendor_parts`.`part_id`)
WHERE (concat(IFNULL(vendors.name,''),IFNULL(vendors.abbreviated_name,''))
LIKE '%vendor1%'
LIKE '%vendor2%')
GROUP BY cpn
HAVING COUNT(cpn)=2
ORDER BY cpn
The problem is that for some rows in the parts table, there are multiple rows of the same vendor name in the vendors table. Thus in the result set I would get parts that have two vendor1's instead of a vendor1 and a vendor2. I'm trying to get parts that have at least one of both vendor1 and vendor2.
Any ideas?

Brewed sudo pop variant: noise mate with 1:1:2:10 ratio mate:lemon:palm sugar syrup (thick variant):H20, 80-85C, 10 minutes brewing. 5 liters brewed, carbonated and drank for meeting
Revision as of 17:58, 14 March 2010
Did you notice most rootbeer is caffeine free? The goal here is to have fun brewing a non-alcoholic caffeinated rootbeer or ginger ale. To that end we are making the first batches of a Noisebridge label yerba mate-niated rootbrew, gratis and DIY
A recipe hasn't been finalized yet. For the first few batches, carbonators will be used, later natural carbonation will be explored.
- Syrup for 4 gallon batches of ginger ale and root beer
- Taragui Mate con Palo
- 5 Gallon Carboy (secondary fermentation)
- 5 Gallon Pot
- Bottle siphon, bottle capper, caps
- 5 Gallon (Primary fermentation or mixing) bucket
- airlocks, and miscellaneous brewing supplies
- 04/03/2009 bottle prep, supplies consolidation, and soda pop/ Y. Mate recipe & brewing research
- 3 dozen bottles prepped.
Experiment series #1 (4/10/2009 - Martin B)
- 1 liter water
- coffee filter (unbleached, melitta #5)
- 250ml by volume of Yerba Mate (Taragui : elaborada con palo)
- 50ml of cane sugar syrup (obtained at Whole Foods)
- 1 liter seltzer bottle w/ co2 cartridge for carbonation
Brought water to 90C, and added cold-rinsed yerba mate tea contained in polymesh teabag for 10 minutes of steeping time. Removed bag, and ran through a common coffee filter to remove sediment into the glass seltzer bottle. Added 50ml of cane sugar syrup and set aside to cool to room temperature. Capped bottle and left in fridge for 30 minutes to cool.
Result was mildly astringent, similar in flavor profile to Club-Mate but perhaps a bit sweeter. After adding CO2, the slight acidity of the soda countered the sweetness. When served from the selzer bottle, however, the soda was extremely foamy. May have to add an agent that makes the soda more tart, but without adding a flavor like lemon does.
Note (from Colin aka CatCubed): The foaminess is a result of the force seltzer bottle's nozzle. If you take the inner tube out of the seltzer bottle, you can then add the CO2 and just shake vigorously to carbonate. After letting it settle a bit, you can just open the bottle and pour out your new soda! Less foam and slightly bigger bubbles giving it a more soda mouthfeel.
Brewing at 90C may be too hot. Next pass should be done at 80C but still for 10 minutes.
adjustments for batch #2
- Reduce yerba mate to 100ml by volume.
- Reduce cane sugar syrup to 25ml
- 5g of fresh lemon zest (for tartness)
Added lemon zest to mate before steeping. Allowed 10 minutes of steeping time, followed procedure from earlier experiment.
Result is still mildly astringent, but sweetness profile is much closer to Club-Mate. Lemon flavor is not right, but not unpleasant, as a tartening agent. Using the seltzer bottle is not the right way to add carbonation, the resulting soda is still far too foamy. Transferred soda from seltzer bottle into clean 1 liter glass mineral water bottle then capped.
adjustments for batch #3-8
Lowered steeping time by one minutes per batch.
Result was batch 7 (5 minute steeping time) had a markedly less bitter flavor, while retaining a strong mate flavor profile.
adjustments for batch #9,10
- Juice of one whole lemon (meyer)
- Increased cane sugar syrup to 50ml
- Increased fresh lemon zest to 10g
- Steepting time reduced to 5min
- Water temperature reduced to 80C
Result is a refreshingly tart drink without the bitterness present in previous batches. Similar to an 'Arnold Palmer' without all the sweetness.
Experiment Series #2
The need for some sort of coloration is somewhat evident. After 24 hours in the fridge, there is a marked coloration difference from when the drink was first bottled in Series #1. It has gone from a dark brown/green to a light green/yellow, possibly due to the acidity of the drink causing the chlorophyll or other components in the mate to act as an indicator dye. Either way, the addition of a caramel color or other dark colorant may be adviseable from a 'look and feel' perspective.
Mate brewing replication Series #1 (4/14/09-4/21/09 R.M. Alexander)
Brewing Taragui Yerba Mate con Palo according to an interpretation of the above brewing steps performed by Martin B. 1:10 Mate:H20, 80-85C, 5-10 Minute brewing time.
Resulting Flavor qualities
- creamy, slightly astringent & woody flavor that matures to a sweet aftertaste after a few minutes or drinks.
- After drinking, throat and tongue tip coating has similar to licorice root sweetener.
- In general, does not follow sweet foods well.
- Generally enjoyed by others, but not *enough* for quick adoption or conversion of die hard coffee drinkers.
- Base brewing recipe needs group testing with citric (fresh lemon/lime based) and sugar additions before making modifications
- Interesting frothing is possible with agitation.
- Investigate effects on gastrointestinal tract as well as appetite suppressing qualities.
- Should we codify or find extant codifications for some of these descriptive flavor characteristics?
- Blind testing setup between brands as well as recipes: LOTS more experimentation cycles to go through
Noise Mate #1
(6/02/09 - R.M. Alexander) Brewed sudo pop variant: noise mate with 1:1:2:10 ratio mate:lemon:palm sugar syrup (thick variant):H20, 80-85C, 10 minutes brewing. 5 liters brewed, carbonated and drank for meeting
whoah. what about ginger? no ginger. I think I forgot to list the ginger I used.

Does someone happen to have an explanation or theory for why in phrases like "the best method possible" the word 'possible' comes after the noun?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
In English, adjectives normally precede their head, but other kinds of modifiers can follow:
(the 'which was' can be omitted).
A single adjective modifier cannot usually be placed afterwards, unless there is another modifier with an identifying function, in which case even a single adjective can move after:
I think the construction requires that the two modifiers together are required to identify the individual (i.e. neither "the last man" nor "the man who is standing" would narrow it down). If the adjective precedes its head, as Sean says, it does not necessarily have this narrow meaning.
This doesn't answer "why" — few questions about language that ask "why" can be satisfactorily answered — but it gives some context.
I do not think we have much evidence that the position of these adjectives is semantically determined. A few observations:
On this I base four tentative hypotheses:
In all of the examples given, the first adjective is either a comparative or an adjective like only or single, which restricts the number of possibilities to one, and it is possible to put a restrictive that is or who is in between the noun and the following adjective.
What is happening is that a very short clause is being shortened to a single word.
This doesn't explain why you can't say the only apple red, since the only apple that is red works fine. English has a lot of different semantic classes of adjectives (see adjective order) and my supposition would be that it only works for some of these classes. It certainly doesn't work for size, color, or age adjectives.
To me, "the best method possible" means "among the methods that are possible, the one which is most good." I assume you are comparing to "the best possible method" which means to me "the method which is as good as any method can be".
If I want to get to Australia quickly, the best method possible is probably an aircraft. The best possible method is a teleporter.
Does anyone agree with that? I must say both are nearly interchangeable to my ears.
My speculation would be that in the pattern the superlative + noun + "possible" the word order is reversed on purpose to emphasize the possibility.
For example, This is the best photo possible emphasize, that a photo is the best that can be produced by any means; better would be impossible. This is the best possible photo mean almost the same, but without emphasis on "possible" it does not sound same.
A superlative requires a definition of the class referred to; the tallest boy in the class is not usually the tallest boy in the school. Word order matters in that it attaches the definition to one of the other phrases; the method I know best is not the best method I know. (The method best I know is ambiguous, and so could only be used poetically, if at all). With single word definitions it doesn't usually matter whether the noun or the adjective is being qualified, so the best possible method is acceptable, though unusual; when the definition expands it is often confusing, and so wrong, to put it before; 'the best method possible in a Euclidean universe' can't reasonably be rephrased.

The message format includes a datetime field in the clear. Is it okay to also use this field (or some hash thereof) as the initialization vector?
In this case, CBC is the mode being used.
The message format includes a datetime field in the clear. Is it okay to also use this field (or some hash thereof) as the initialization vector?
In this case, CBC is the mode being used.
It depends on the chaining mode. With recent modes like EAX and GCM, the IV just needs to be non-repeating, so a timestamp is OK (as long as you take care never to issue two messages with the same timestamp: this can be a problem if you emit two messages in, say, the same millisecond, or if the sender clock is somehow reset through manual action or NTP; notably, consider that the NTP protocol is rarely protected at all, so an active attacker may play tricks on your clock).
With CBC, the IV must be uniformly random, and, depending on the situation, should be unpredictable by the attacker. For instance, if the attacker can trigger the encryption of some messages of his own choosing, he may use a predictable IV to obtain precise block encryptions which he could then use to alter some other messages in a controlled way. A timestamp is highly predictable. A tempting design would be to compute the IV with HMAC over the timestamp, using a shared secret key for that; on a general basis, use a Key Derivation Function to extend your encryption key into two keys, one for HMAC and one for the actual AES encryption (make it three keys: one for the HMAC-for-IV, one for encryption, and one for the MAC which you of course add to the message to thwart active attackers). However, making your own designs is known to be dangerous, and modes like EAX and GCM already do that job better.
To sum up: using a timestamp is a bit tricky since it is only mostly unrepeating. And it will not work well with all chaining modes.
AES does not have any IV. Modes of operation have IV. IV usually does not need to be secret, However, in most cases, it is important that an initialization vector is never reused under the same key. For CBC and CFB, reusing an IV leaks some information about the first block of plaintext, and about any common prefix shared by the two messages.
In addition to @Thomas Pornin's excellent answer, I would point out another risk with using the date+time to generate the initialization vector: it might repeat. There are two plausible ways that it might repeat:
In either case, it is not safe to encrypt two messages under the same IV: if you do, an eavesdropper might be able to learn partial (or complete) information about the two messages that were sent under the same IV.
For this reason, I would normally not recommend using a timestamp as your IV. I think a cryptographic-strength pseudorandom 128-bit number is safest and easiest to implement correctly. A non-repeating sequence number is also sufficient for some modes (but beware of crazy ways that it can repeat, e.g., wrap-around, VM checkpoint/restore; and make sure to only use it with modes that can tolerate non-random IVs).

Last thursday the Slopestyle Junior World Championships were held in Valmalenco, Italy.
The course and the weather was pretty good. Jonas Hunziker -Nordica Freestyle Team - qualified for the finals on the 7th place and in the finals he showed an even better run.
With his second final run Jonas scored a 71.00 , enough for the third place.
Again a great performance for Jonas!
"I'm super happy about the result. It's my second bronze medal at JWC Slopestyle after 2010 in New Zealand. For me, this shows that I could keep improve myself.", Jonas said just after the competition.
Congrats Jonas from Nordica!!

The tutorial is going to be pretty simple draw because I actually draw bubble letters around the spelled word "swag". The cursive lettering will make an awesome graffiti design that you can be proud of. If you always wanted swag, now is your chance to have it. I know the word is being overused by artists, people, and in other ways, but at least the over usage can be displayed in a colorful graffiti manner. Have fun drawing swag folks and be sure to let me know what you think. Adios people.

Phil Krinkie: Lies, Legislation and Taxes
July 19, 2013
Minnesota legislators passed a tax increase package that people were told would hit high-income earners. By the time the package became law, it had hit nearly everyone in the state. And a Minnesota Department of Revenue analysis shows those at the the lowest income levels will be hit proportionately harder than anyone else.

When trying to calculate how much I should eat for weight reduction what should the base calories be based on? My current weight or my goal weight? I'm 5'8" at 240lbs wanting to drop to 180lbs or less if at all possible.

Base it on what you're currently eating, which you know is probably too much. So just log what you're currently eating, adjust the macronutrient ratios, and then adjust the total intake downward.
Log your diet for a week. Don't do anything special, just log what you'd normally eat.
Note the balance of carbs/proteins/fats and aim to bring it more in line with an accepted ratio. Here are some options:
Or, a paleo-type diet:
Once you've established a well-balanced diet, you can start fine-tuning the amounts. Reduce your intake slightly and increase your activity level to promote fat (not necessarily weight) loss. As long as you're noticing improvement at your chosen activity (weightlifting, running, swimming, etc) and fat loss, you're moving in the right direction.
What you need to know is how much energy in calories you are expending every day. This equation is:
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) + daily living activities + exercise activity = total caloric need.
BMR is a calculated guess, unless you are lucky enough that you can have it directly measured using some form of calorimetry. Some of the calculation equations are the Harris-Benedict, Harris-Benedict revised, Catch-McCardle and Cunningham. You don't need to know these formulas, there are tons of them premade into calculators on the internet (The two Harris-Benedict formulae are the most prevalent). BMR is basically an estimation of how many calories it takes you to simply lay there and breathe in and out for 24 hours.
Daily living includes normal activity such as work, shopping, house cleaning, etc. Exercise is, well, exercise.
There are tables all over that have estimates for those activities as well.
Now for the weight loss. This is going to be variable. As is pointed out in the comments, the 3500 calories per pound is bad mathematics misapplied, and started with an observation in 1959 by a Dr. Max Wishnofsky. Calculate your caloric needs, add in your activity cost, and eat less than that each day and you will lose weight. The rate at which you do will vary with your own metabolism, activity, types of food, etc.
I would start by calculating what your needs are, then keep a food log for 3-5 days, writing down EVERYTHING that you eat. Weigh your portions, and get the best count you can for calories. That should give you a starting point for your weight loss.
I agree with JohnP and Sancho's posts, I just wanted to add that I'd specifically found that using an calorie tracking app on my smartphone made calorie counting and recording my meals practical.
I've been having luck using a calorie counting app on my smartphone. I'm using the Livestrong app / website. I don't know that its better or worse than other calorie counting apps / websites out there, but it seems to have a decent user interface. It has daily caloric goals based on your current body weight, and lets you log the food you eat and the amount of calories you burn to see how close you are to your daily goals.
I've been using it since February, and I've had a fairly successful run of weight loss. I'm 6'4", 185lbs, down from 209... so I know I'm not looking at the uphill battle you were, but I've found that having a basic record keeping system (like the iphone app) seems to have been much more helpful at keeping me conscious of how much I've eaten and exercised. Its really changed my relationship to my meals. With better record keeping, I'm able to see when I tend to over eat, how I need to adjust my diet, etc.
Good luck!
If this is the tactic you're taking, I highly recommend the Hacker's Diet by John Walker (available as a free website/ebook). The theory is pretty simple: track your weight and calories daily, and reduce calories when your weight trend line is trending up, increase them when it is trending down more than you'd like. He's created a simple online tool to track your weight and generate nice trend graphs. Feedback based on the weight trend automatically takes into account reductions in metabolism, exercise, etc. The key point is not to take any weight measurement seriously by itself: keep calories/diet reasonably consistent and look at the longer term trend.
That said, while I love Walker's weight tracking tool, I've never found calorie tracking very tenable. So tedious and difficult to keep up with. I much prefer adjusting the foods I eat until I find a diet that leads to weight loss over time. The trend line is still useful for determining when to change things or when changes don't work, but calorie counting is not for me.

This is for a server running Ubuntu Server 10.10.
The server is an old desktop PC. It had 2 sticks of 256 MB of 182-pin DDR 400 MHz RAM in it (total 512 MB of RAM).
I just ordered a 1 GB stick of compatible RAM for the machine (now would have a total of 1.25 GB of RAM).
A friend told me that it might run better if I removed both sticks of 256 MB RAM and used just the 1 GB stick I will be receiving. This seems counterintuitive since then there would only be 1 GB of RAM instead of 1.25; is it possible that it would be better to run with 1 GB or is he totally wrong?
Thanks for the help.

The 6 Most Badass Murder Weapons in the Animal Kingdom
#3. Pistol Shrimp's Laser Claw
Do not be deceived by the small size of this creature--that lumpy shape by the pistol shrimp's head is its claw. It's specially modified to blow the shit out of its opponent by snapping shut so quickly it produces a flash of light and a blast of sound reaching 218 decibels, which science says is louder than a damned gunshot.
Wait, What?
The sound isn't caused by the claws snapping together, but rather a jet of water which is shot at 60 mph. Due to the, um, "underwateriness" of the action scene, a low pressure bubble is formed and the sound is created when the bubble collapses. And the sound is so powerful it stuns the opponent into a somewhat retarded stupor, leaving Mr. Pistol to reap the rewards and tuck into a lovely comatose crustacean snack.
How Badass is That?
Wait, it gets weirder. The sheer force of the bubble collapse means it reaches temperatures up to 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit, a.k.a. hotter than the surface of the fucking sun.
In theory this means if you could train a bunch of these shrimp to shoot at each other they could cook and prepare themselves as a meal.
#2. The Palm Salamander's 18,000-Watt Tongue
Meet the palm salamander, who science has awarded with the title of "owner of the fastest muscle in the world." While probably one or two Guido salamanders go around bragging about which muscle that is, it's actually a reference to it its tongue. It's possible the lady salamanders are still impressed by that, but it's disturbing so we'll just ignore it.
Wait, what?
The palm salamander can fully extend its tongue (which is about half the length of its 18-centimeter body) in about seven milliseconds. That works out to about 29 mph, which might not sound all that impressive until you watch this bastard hunt.
It's like a freaking magic trick. One moment the insect is chilling on the wall across the room, and then suddenly it's not and for some reason the salamander is lazily chewing on something. If the human tongue moved that fast, every middle school dance would be a blood bath of French kissing fatalities.
How Badass is That?
The strongest muscle in the human body (the quadriceps) can put out about 100 watts of power. The salamander's tongue can produce 18,000 watts. If your thighs were a generator they could barely power a light bulb while our amphibious friend would be running two five-ton air conditioning units. Your thighs officially suck.
#1. The Jellyfish's Supersonic Stingers
Likely you're already aware that jellyfish can fuck you up mightily by the simple act of you having the audacity to occupy the same space as their godforsaken appendages. This is caused by thousands of stinger cells concentrated on each of their tentacles. The box jellyfish has up to 60 tentacles reaching seven-feet in length. Every inch of those tentacles has over two million stinging cells full of venom, which is why so many people shit their bikini bottoms when they turn up at the local beach.
Fucking ouch.
This isn't the result of the jellyfish being a dick, though. It doesn't sting you for wearing that preposterous Speedo out in public, it doesn't even have a brain. The sting is a natural reaction which is so badass it's un-fucking-controllable.
Science explains how it works.
Wait, What?
Within each of the stinger cells is a harpoon style weapon, designed to deliver maximum venom on contact. That's contact with anything that brushes by it in the ocean, be it a fish, a school of used condoms or you. When the trigger of the stinger cell--which science people in wetsuits call a nematocyst--is fired, the harpoon is discharged in 700 nanoseconds. In slightly easier to comprehend language that's 0.0000007 seconds. Or, in other words, holy shit that's quick.
How Badass is That?
The nematocyst cell fires the harpoon at such a high speed, the force of the acceleration equals 1,000,000 times the force of gravity. An astronaut will typically encounter four to five Gs during takeoff, which means if you put a jellyfish in the space shuttle, and it fired its stingers at the moment of takeoff, it would travel back in time [citation needed].

I am refreshing on Master Theorem a bit and I am trying to figure out the running time of an algorithm that solves a problem of size
n by recursively solving 2 subproblems of size
n-1 and combine solutions in constant time.
So the formula is:
But I am not sure how can I formulate the condition of master theorem.
I mean we don't have
T(N/b) so is
b of the Master Theorem formula in this case
If yes since obviously
a > b^k since
k=0 and is
O(N^z) where
z=log2 with base of
(N/N-1) how can I make sense out of this? Assuming I am right so far?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I am refreshing on Master Theorem a bit and I am trying to figure out the running time of an algorithm that solves a problem of size
ah, enough with the hints. the solution is actually quite simple. z-transform both sides, group the terms, and then inverse z transform to get the solution.
first, look at the problem as
apply z transform to both sides (there are some technicalities with respect to the ROC, but let's ignore that for now)
solve for X(z) to get
now observe that this formula can be re-written as:
where r = c/(1-a) and s = - a c / (1-a)
Furthermore, observe that
where P(z) = r z / (z-1) = r / (1 - (1/z)), and Q(z) = s z / (z-a) = s / (1 - a (1/z))
apply inverse z-transform to get that:
where log denotes the natural log and u[n] is the unit (Heaviside) step function (i.e. u[n]=1 for n>=0 and u[n]=0 for n<0).
Finally, by linearity of z-transform:
where r and s are as defined above.
so relabeling back to your original problem,
where exp(x) = e^x, log(x) is the natural log of x, and u[n] is the unit step function.
What does this tell you?
Unless I made a mistake, T grows exponentially with n. This is effectively an exponentially increasing function under the reasonable assumption that a > 1. The exponent is govern by a (more specifically, the natural log of a).
One more simplification, note that exp(log(a) n) = exp(log(a))^n = a^n:
so O(a^n) in big O notation.
And now here is the easy way:
put T(0) = 1
note that this creates a pattern. specifically:
put c = 1 gives
this is geometric series, which evaluates to:
for n>=0.
Note that this formula is the same as given above for c=1 using the z-transform method. Again, O(a^n).
Don't even think about Master's Theorem. You can only use Masther's Theorem when you're given master's theorem when b > 1 from the general form T(n) = aT(n/b) + f(n).
Instead, think of it this way. You have a recursive call that decrements the size of input, n, by 1 at each recursive call. And at each recursive call, the cost is constant O(1). The input size will decrement until it reaches 1. Then you add up all the costs that you used to make the recursive calls. How many are they? n. So this would take O(2^n).
Looks like you can't formulate this problem in terms of the Master Theorem.
A good start is to draw the recursion tree to understand the pattern, then prove it with the substitution method. You can also expand the formula a couple of times and see where it leads.
See also this question which solves 2 subproblems instead of
May be you could think of it this way
It is easy to see that this is a geometric series
The dominating term here is
Therefore the function belongs to

We all know the issue of deep geological repositories for fuel rods. Is there a currently feasible way to speed up the rod's decay to render them harmless in less than 10 years?
The simple answer is no, though as usual in Physics things are a bit more complicated than that.
There are several ways in which radionucleotides decay: alpha decay, beta decay, gamma decay, and fission. These are all mediated by the weak and strong nuclear forces, though the electromagnetic force plays some part in alpha decay and nuclear fission. There is no way we know of to tamper with the two nuclear forces. In principle we could change electromagnetic forces by using a sufficiently strong electric field, but the field strength required would be ludicrously high and far outside anything we could conceivably generate.
In principle we can affect the decay of nuclei by firing particles at them. For example uranium can be made to fission by firing neutrons at it (which is exactly what happens in nuclear reactors). In general this is not a practical way to process nuclear waste, though in the specific case of plutonium you can fission plutonium in nuclear reactors (though the products of the fission are still radioactive). Currently the cost of treating radioactive waste in this way would be prohibitive.
You can trigger decay of certain nuclei with gamma rays, just like you can stimulate emission of photons from excited atoms with incoming radiation. You can even make a bomb if that is your kind of thing. On the other hand, in case of atoms there is a stimulated emission - with help of photons coherent with the "future" photon. This shows that the "environment" is somewhat important. As soon as the environment is complicated and is hard to control, one can loosely think that the random character of decays is due to random character of the "triggering QM environment".
UPDATE: I forgot to mention that decay probability can be increased, for example via collision with another particle for the right energy, and this is exactly how fission based nuclear bombs work. Here though, again, there is nothing special about the particular atom decaying, and it is simply the particles involved in the collision that have the increased decay probability. (I must admit that I have pared this picture right down to the basics as otherwise it would need to be a far more technical discussion).
When it comes to radioactive decay, one unstable nucleus explodes to stable ones this moment. And, an another fully identical nucleus wait for thousands years to explode. This is a great example of principle of uncertainty. We don't know exactly why it happens. We only have observed data of their chances to explode (That's why we talk in probability of decay of large number of nuclei). It happens because of no reason. We don't have full understanding of quantum world yet, so we can't find a way to control it while keeping the solution in "natural way" domain.
A way to process nuclear waste quickly is to do it with non-natural way (the way nuclear bombs etc work), but that would be costly and the process is not environment friendly.
Yes there is a way to speed up nuclear decay rates.
The ionisation state of the specie has some effect on the decay rate.
Also neutrino flux has some effect.
These conditions are perhaps insignificant for your fuel rods but they certainly worth considering.

I'm a developer and I'm intending to develop a camera based surveillance software.
The simplest way is to try and pick a 360 degrees video camera. I found some models but the problem is that the recorded/real-time flow videos are only readable by the manufacturer's software (example: GoPano).
Is there any 360° video camera device that is shipped with tools for developers so that we can build our own softwares ? Are there alternatives ?
The idea is to have a real time video flow that could be consumable by any platform (browser, iOS SDK, Android SDK, etc.).

is Communication? "Communication is
the act of expressing (or transmitting) ideas, information, knowledge,
thoughts, and feelings, as well as understanding what is expressed by others.
The communication process involves both sending and receiving messages and can
take many forms" (Burton & Raedeke, This is an excerpt from Sport Psychology for Coaches).
I am a people person and always have been; but
my level of confidence has at times in the past kept me from speaking up. I
would follow the lead of others even though I may have thought otherwise. My communication skills have improved
tremendously over the last few years for a lot of reasons and primarily
due to the experience I have encountered by training others to become Spinning® Instructors. The second most important reason for my improvement in
communication is the training I have personally received
to become a facilitator of holistic health. I have learned how to recognize
behaviors, body language, responses and reactions of others in response to what
is stated in our conversations. This allows me to think before I actually speak
for their benefit as well as my own.
Whether I am preparing to coach an individual, a group, Spinning® Class, or a team, I like to
follow the Four Ps, a format introduced during the Spinning® Instructor Training Program. I first determine my population (the who), then the purpose
(the goal I or they seek to achieve for them), then the plan (how I am going to get them to achieve the what-purpose), and
finally the progression (how I will
provide the plan to improve upon and develop their goal). The Four Ps are then
presented to the individual(s) in many different ways since not everyone learns
or interprets a message the same way. "Good communication skills are among the
most important ingredients contributing to performance enhancement and the
personal growth of sport and exercise participants", (Weinberg & Gould,
2010, p. 225).
An effective coach or instructor can tell if he/she is
effective in communicating when the response is an obvious and positive one.
When I instruct my corporate cyclists to relax and pedal big circles on a
climb, I can see their form shift from mashing the pedals to a consistent
smooth cadence and less of effort to the top of the hill. I give them specific
direction such as "slide forward and sweep back on your pedal stroke; relax
your shoulders, etc". I will often say
and exaggerate by actually doing what I am saying for those who are visual
I am not really clear on the skills and game of hockey,
but I can tell if a team is playing in silos or as a team. Last winter, I
attended my godson's high school hockey game. He is captain and one of the top
players, however, the entire team did not pass the puck or seek each other out
when a shot was open to take. I immediately noticed this and said something to
his mother. They are allowed by the coach to be "puck hogs" and it was obvious
that the coach did not communicate they need to work together. His mother
confirmed this. Although I was not happy for my godson and his team, I was
pleased in my ability to recognize poor coaching and to know the difference.

I'm playing a scientist in Spirit of the Century, but I'm having a hard time coming up with uses for my main skill, Science! How can I make better use of it mid session, not just for creating awesome Science! gadgets?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer

There are some interesting uses of Science! that I can think of.
We start with the SRD's definition:
More details on the declaration action:
And the declaration itself is found under spend fate points:
Therefore, Science! allows us to manipulate the world in scientific ways, inasmuch as we can declare things to be true.
One favourite idea of mine is to use this to enable MacGuyver actions. Sure, you need the Engineer skill to build stuff But you can use Science! to go "One little known property of subisomorphic metals like that spectacular sample right there, is that if one hits a cooled sample with a resonant tone, the sample will shatter into lengthwise members, quite handy for us, isn't it?" And suddenly you have a bunch of steel rods to build a structure around, as well as enjoying technobabble for technobabble's sake (not something to be dismissed lightly.)
However, one can also use this as ways of setting up aspect compels and tags.
Say one of your aspects was: Music makes me mad!
You could use Science! mid-session to indicate that one of the failure modes of something you're facing is to emit tonal chimes as the camshafts start wearing off the bearings and striking the outer flanges!. Which, when used appropriately, can cause situations to both compel and tag your aspect.
By using Science! to declare facts, you can shape the world to be more interesting/useful to your character, his aspects, and his actions. It's always fun making your own life miserable by complicating the villain's mad science with even worse consequences. "Wait, did he use pure nitrogen, or refined spirits of the aether? Great scott! He's doomed us all! Doesn't he know that glass can't contain the vapours?!"
You have the privilege of adding to the setting and the world and the responsibility of being interesting. Science! evokes Donjon like elements of a mutable world, glimpsed only by your powerful mind.
Science has 3 main uses:
Medical Treatment is pretty straightforward, but it's easily overlooked if your character concept isn't an MD.
Gadgeteering is a common enough reason for taking the Science! skill, but don't forget that you can use it not just to make, fix and improve, but also to detune, break, repurpose, and disassemble. If you can make it, you can tag it with an aspect for how to break it. E.G.: "My good man, if you strike the junction of the steam line and the body, you should have an easy time depriving it of power..." and "I'll use Science! to trigger an overpressure failure timed for 10 minutes from now."
Defining stuff by observation is also tagging and/or use of Fate Points to set up useful tags. This is often expressed by actions like, "I'll examine it to find the resonant frequency so Johnny can use his sonic screwdriver to shatter it," and "I sniff to figure out what the liquid is, and which of my reagents I can throw in to make it go BOOM!". Essentially, the first is adding a "susceptible to certain frequencies of vibration"; the second is tagging it with "potentially explosive."
In my last play, the Science! character was tweaking the aircraft's tension lines in flight to provide a series of free maneuver-related tags, and tweaking the engine for speed and climb tags.

let $V$ be the vitali set and let $g:V\to\mathbb R$ be a surjective function. then the fuction $f:\mathbb R\to\mathbb R$ such that $f(x)=g([x])$ will be a function that is surjective in any interval of the real line. i know the examples with base 9 digits, but this one would be much easier.
is there a "standard" way to construct surjective and bijective functions from non-measurable sets to measurable ones with the same cardinality?

Recently we have a new developer in our team. We are getting him up to speed and he is picking it all up quite fast, but a new developer means new (foreign) coding styles and ways to solve things.
It feels kinda petty to start whining about coding styles at the first three classes he codes, but how forgiving are you guys when dealing with new developers? Do you let them muddle on, and point it out later? Or do you wield the scepter of intolerance immediately?
When do you draw the line, or if not, why not?
P.S. New guy, if you read this: you are doing great, keep up the good work ;)
