Game Drives, Hikes, Motorboat Cruises and Mokoro Tours in Botswana, Namibia and Zambia
This value-priced Botswana camping safari has it all: the Okavango Delta, Moremi and Chobe National Parks, Savuti, Tsodilo Hills World Heritage Site plus Namibia's utterly wild Caprivi game reserves and awe-inspiring Victoria Falls in Zambia.
We drive to our first camp on the tranquil Chobe River, where an evening boat cruise reveals grunting hippos, basking crocs, bathing elephants and a glorious African sunset.
Home to elephants, lions, buffaloes, giraffes, crocodiles and hippos, the Caprivi Strip also features more than 400 species of birds. We tour the river channels, reedy islands and lush wetlands of Bwabwata National Park. Our last camp is near Popa Falls on the mighty Okavango River and the birding is exceptional.
Mahango National Park has enormous baobab trees, verdant flood plains and large herds of elephant, buffalo and red lechwe. We next tour the Tsodilo Hills, the "Louvre of the Kalahari", with Bushman guides and view some of the 4,500 rock paintings which date back more than a thousand years.
A boat cruise through the papyrus-lined channels of the Okavango Delta delivers us to dugout canoes, from which we explore the delta's watery vastness. The Okavango is the world's largest inland delta, flooding 5,800 square miles of the Kalahari Desert and creating a luxuriant maze of lagoons and channels. Two nights of island camping provide opportunities to spot many of the 350 species of birds and the rare sitatunga.
This area's woodlands, flood plains and marshes provide a rich living for large groups of lion, elephant, leopard, hyena, wild dog, eland, kudu, roan antelope, giraffe, zebra, impala, buffalo, hippo and crocodile.
The Park is home to the world's largest elephant population, currently extimated at 120,000. Begin with an exploration of the Savuti region, often described as the single best wildlife viewing area in Africa. Add sable, wildebeest, and warthog to your list of sightings. Then it's north to the Chobe River, with bands of elephants of 100 or more.
Our final full day of the tour is one with nearly infinite options. Consider whitewater rafting through Batoka Gorge below thundering Victora Falls. Or explore the falls, a mile wide and 300-feet high, from footpaths and viewpoints, opt for a bungee jump, tour a museum or take an elephant ride.
High Season includes departures with start dates through October 26, 2013 and from July 5 through October 25, 2014 Low Season includes departures with start dates of November 9 and 23, 2013, from January 18 through June 21, 2014 and November 8 and 22, 2014.
This tour is a "participation" camping safari using developed, bush and wild camps. Most nights offer "bush showers and toilets". The final night is at the Zambezi Waterfront lodge, located just 2.5 miles upstream from magnificant Victoria Falls.

Thanks for sharing the information.
The benefit of Sitemap in SEO is that the Crawler can find all the pages of website at one place and it helps in indexing of website easily.
By the help of site mape google read all url of our web site very easily.
Site map always helps you to get indexed all of your web pages, Basically, It let the search engines know about your updated list of web pages you are currently having live within the web world.
I have submitted sitemap.xml but my site was crawled on 13 june and till it is not crawled. So my question is is anything wrong with my site and what should I do for increasing the crawle rate?
Sitemaps shows the whole structure of you website. In seo point of view sitemap plays an effective role in indexing fast in search engine.

Does anybody else smell a woot-off?
Woot! newsletters almost always precede a woot-off, but I'm not away on business this week, so, I'm not entirely sure (the last three woot-offs have happened while I was out of the country on business).
Is anybody staying up until 1AM ET/midnight CT?
12 Answers answer
hmm i smell a business trip out of the country in your future :)
Two and a half cups of coffee already ingested so I'm committed.
I'm singing the woot-off song, do you think that will help?
got my woot-off lights on standby.
I smell my feet
@faughtey: Ma'am use your influence and get them to offer new monkeys, please. I can send bribes. (they haven't offered a green camo, yet)
I'll stay up until midnight, just to find out if it's the case. Then I have to go to sleep. My alarm is set for 3:45 AM because I have to open tomorrow.
begs for the shirt deal not to happen until after 2 PM
@theoneill555: Heh, I don't have any influence! I have a feeling they will have new monkeys pretty soon though. :)
@durkzilla: Good call!
Amazing! Love the new look of the woot lights!
@sykotek: Kinda snazzy amirite?

(Just so we're clear: that the Lie group of planar translations $R^2$ is isomorphic to a quotient of the 2D Euclidean Lie group $E(2)$ and the circle group $U(1)$.)
I am trying to prove that $R^2 = E(2)/U(1)$ directly but not getting very far. It seems as if it should be true, and trivially so, but I am new to Lie groups and am not quite sure what implies what yet. For instance, it is known that $E(2)$ is the semidirect product of $R^2$ and $U(1)$ (or $O(2)$ if you like); and I reckon that implies that E(2) is a principal fibre bundle with base $R^2$ and fibre $U(1)$, is any of that true? And does it imply there is a quotient relationship?
If so - can you give explicit homomorphisms $f$ and $g$ such that the following sequence is exact:
$1\rightarrow U(1)\xrightarrow f E(2)\xrightarrow g R^2\rightarrow1$?
(i.e. Im $f$ = Ker $g$)
I thought that $f$ is the map that takes each element of $U(1)$ to the element of $E(2)$ with the same rotation but $\underline{0}$ translation - i.e. if a general element of E(2) is expressed as $(M,\underline{v})$ for a rotation matrix $M$ and translation vector $\underline{v}$ [with $(M,\underline{a}).(N,\underline{b})=(MN,\underline{a}+M\underline{b})]$ then $f$ embeds $U(1)$ in E(2) as
$f:R\mapsto (R, \underline{0})$
for $R\in U(1)$, $R$ a rotation matrix. But presumably that would mean that $g$ would map the whole of $E(2)$ to $R^2$ by taking $(R,\underline{v})\mapsto (0,\underline{v})$ (Thaking Im $F$, the pure rotations, to the identity element $e_{R^2}=\underline{0}$ - unfortunately, this doesn't appear to be a homomorhpism.

Apple Jacks Cereal, 12-ounces (Pack of 3) for $5.77
Free shipping for orders over $25, or if you choose Subscribe & Save.
Price drops to $5.48 for Subscribe & Save, and you can cancel before your next order ships if you wish.
8 Comments add a comment
Note: If you don't do Subscribe and Save, this is an "add-on" item, which means you need a total of $25 worth of stuff in your cart before it will ship. Might as well do the Subscribe and Save. You can cancel it pretty easily once your cereal ships.
That's a pretty small box...
But does it come with applejack? Or Applejack?
@armywife1477: You must have just looked at the picture. There are three 12 ounce bags of cereal in frustration free packaging. Which means it is probably one huge box with over two pounds of Apple Jacks in it. Screaming deal.
@jsfs: You never know what could find in your cereal box. Personally, I would rather find something with a higher Rarity index.
@galapogos: I've ordered this in the past. It came as three normal retail boxes, packed inside a cardboard shipping box that was sized exactly right so there was no additional packing material.
@curli76: Thanks, I didn't notice this was an Add On Item.
@bandrik: I'd like something with a little more reflected star power myself, but the cross promotion is just too obvious. /]

The 5 Strangest Ways Your Mind Can Get Your Body Sick
Never let yourself forget how much we still don't know about our brains and bodies. Specifically, the relationship between the two. Not only can a placebo fool the body into thinking sugar is a pain reliever, but the brain can fool the body into thinking it's sick, complete with physical symptoms.
And we're not talking about bullshit symptoms like headaches, either. We're talking ...
#5. False pregnancy
The Symptoms:
You're a woman. You missed your period, and now you have morning sickness. Congratulations! Or not! After a few weeks, your abdomen swells. Eventually, you start having labor pains ...
... but the doctor says there is no baby, and that there never was one. Either you are having a ghost baby, or it was all in your head.
"Yup, that's your problem: You have a baby embedded in your brain."
The Disorder:
They used to call it "hysterical pregnancy" -- a term that dates back to when male scientists had declared that all mental disorders radiated from female lady parts. It's now referred to as pseudocyesis, and it's shockingly common -- as many as one out of every few hundred pregnancies turns out to be pseudocyesis. That is, nonexistent.
What causes it? Were you impregnated by an incubus, and are you about to give birth to an invisible spiritual entity? Probably not. But that guess is as good as anybody's.
"Girl or boy? I don't care as long as it's healthy and filled with inhuman rage."
After all, it'd be one thing if these false pregnancies just caused some nausea and weight gain -- it's easy to imagine somebody tricking themselves into some stomach issues. But the condition also disrupts menstruation and causes other common pregnancy symptoms such as breast sensitivity. In the weirdest cases -- such as this 1960s case of a woman in Rochester -- the abdomen will become distended as if there's a fetus pushing out (doctors have found they can make this go away with anesthesia. Apparently, while awake, the mother is involuntarily forcing the belly out with her abdominal muscles ... or something).
Sufferers even claim they feel the baby "kick." What the hell?
We'll let Sigourney Weaver handle this one.
It's not like we haven't had time to study it; reports of false pregnancy have been around as far back as recorded history goes. Hippocrates (the dude the Hippocratic oath comes from) wrote about women with the disorder around 300 BC. In one of the most famous cases, the Queen of England, Mary I or Bloody Mary, was so desperate to bear a child that she had a fake pregnancy. The disease reemerged again in the famous case of "Anne O," who developed a fake pregnancy after imagining being impregnated by her doctor Josef Breuer. Breuer later talked about the strange case to the famous psychologist Sigmund "you want to bone your mother" Freud, who was so fascinated by it that it became the basis of his work in the field of psychotherapy.
Via Wikipedia
"A ghost baby told me you secretly want to kill your father."
But we've saved the weirdest part for last. Pseudocyesis doesn't just affect women.
Yep, false pregnancy has turned up in men who duplicate the symptoms of their partners' pregnancy. They go through the same morning sickness, muscle cramps and, in one case, the same abdominal swelling as their pregnant wives. Again we say, what the hell?
Now all we need is for a woman to grow balls and we will finally see which is worse!
Here's a fun experiment: Wait until a pregnant friend or girlfriend is in labor, and then ask her if she's sure the whole pregnancy isn't all in her head. See if she stabs you!
#4. Hysterical Blindness and Paralysis
The Symptoms:
Dr G.C. Harlan had a patient with a strange case of blindness. The guy had been without sight in one eye for over 10 years, but there appeared to be nothing physically wrong with it. The eye was causing him some pain, however, and since this was back in the late 1800s, previous doctors had suggested having the eye plucked out. Because, you know, it didn't work anyway. Really just taking up space in his skull. Fuck that eye!
"Liver? Ehhh, not too sure what that does. We'll take that too."
But Harlan noticed the eye didn't respond like a blind eye -- the blink reflex worked and the pupil dilated normally. And while testing the eye, Harlan figured out he could "trick" the patient into seeing out of it. Without telling him what he was doing, he did a successful vision test while the machine was actually blocking the supposed good eye.
The blindness, it turned out, was all in the patient's mind.
The Disorder:
We know what you're thinking. The dude was just faking, probably so he could take his dog into restaurants. But keep in mind that the guy was there to make an appointment to have the eye removed. If he was faking blindness, he was prepared to take it far enough to become really blind.
Just like the time you swore you could do the ring of fire. You will eventually have to prove it.
The disorder was called hysterical blindness (there's that word again) but now they refer to it as a "conversion disorder." As in, the patient is "converting" emotional or psychological stress to a physical problem (like blindness) via a mechanism that science in no way understands.
And to be clear, while that case was from the 1800s, this isn't some 19th century superstition at work -- there have been countless other cases over the years. There was a soldier back in the 1980s who lost vision in one eye due to the stress of boot camp. Again, we're going to assume that by now they have figured out a test to weed out fakers (which presumably just involves the doctor walking into the office with his dick out, daring the person not to say anything while he calmly asks about their symptoms). And if he was faking, he still allowed himself to be cured days later. They did it with a placebo -- they made the soldier wear an eyepatch over the unaffected eye (telling him it was to "train" the "blind" eye) and told him it was normal for patients to regain their sight after a few days. And he did.
Putting a bag over your face will not help you regain your looks, however.
The condition is usually caused by emotional or psychological shock or trauma, like the trauma of combat or if, while visiting your grandparents, you wake up in the middle of the night and walk in on them having geriatric bondage sex.
Sometimes it's a choice between going blind or making a profit, that's all we're saying.
On one hand, you could say that this kind of makes sense. After all, we know there is such a thing as hallucinations where people think they're seeing something they're not. In this case, they're just hallucinating blindness (in fact it's called a negative hallucination). But it's not just the eyes that get affected by conversion disorders -- they can also cause everything from to seizures to paralysis.
Yes, paralysis -- as in, some of your limbs stop functioning. Back in Victorian times, women used to report "glove" paralysis, where one hand would stop working (which is impossible by physical causes -- due to the structure of the muscles and nerves in the arm, either the whole arm goes, or nothing goes) or it would go numb. In Freud's time, this bizarre condition was as common as bulimia is in our modern society and supposedly was brought on by the intense guilt caused by masturbation.
Right, as if the sensation of masturbating with someone else's hand would make you do it less.
#3. HIV Phobia
The Symptoms:
There is a previously unknown, highly-contagious, AIDS-like disease spreading across China ... and no conventional HIV tests are able to detect it.
Yet, all of the symptoms are there. One man named Lin Jun, after contact with what he believes was infected blood, reported swollen lymph nodes, joint pain and rapid weight loss -- nearly 70 pounds in a few months. And he's not alone -- he says contact with his wife and child left them with the same symptoms (and even, he claims, lesions like you see with AIDS patients). When he took his story to the press, people all over China emerged from the woodwork to report the same. They accuse the government of a cover-up, and are demanding answers.
Which is patently ridiculous, as these happy folk cycling through Tienanmen Square will tell you.
The Disorder:
It appears at this point that the reason HIV tests don't turn up anything is because these people don't have HIV. Or anything else. The guy mentioned above has been tested seven times, sure that the doctors were just missing something. But the more the patients are studied, the more it appears their disease simply does not exist outside of their own mind.
Experts are starting to believe it is a psychological disorder caused by extreme anxiety over HIV, and/or even guilt over having sex with prostitutes. But why would such a strange phenomenon be isolated to China? Sure, there are scattered cases in other countries where people think they have AIDS and don't, but nothing like this bizarre shadow epidemic. Well, it has to do with Chinese culture, and the fact that their government is a dick.
We've just indirectly called 78 million people dicks. That's a new record for Cracked.
For decades, the Chinese government has railed on about the evils of prostitution, in an already conservative Chinese culture that views sex as taboo. Which makes sense, but it has heightened people's paranoia about the disease, which is not helped by a number of government scandals involving HIV-tainted blood entering the blood supply, infecting thousands of people. Then you have people catching any number of respiratory or skin diseases, thanks to the toxic state of the environment in many parts of the country.
So, a guy has sex with a prostitute on the down-low. He has regrets and fears infection, and makes himself nauseous over it. Then, he happens to get a rash or blisters on his skin due to what he doesn't realize is an unrelated toxic reaction. Now he's shitting his pants.
We guess it's a really bad STD.
And nothing government health officials say can reassure him, because the goddamned government is the same one that tried to pretend SARS wasn't a thing for months before foreign journalists accidentally learned about it. SARS turned out to be no big deal since it randomly mutated into a harmless form -- but the Chinese government didn't know that. They hid what could have been a brewing pandemic. So, yeah -- if there was some mysterious new form of AIDS out there, there's a good chance they'd hide that shit just for the hell of it.
Half of China are actually zombies.
Now add in the Internet. Our hypothetical man goes online and finds tons of chat rooms and support groups full of other victims of this new mystery disease. The victims feed off each others' fears, actually "infecting" more people online with this strain of hypochondria that Freud would have called "hysterical HIV." So at this point, it might as well be real. The government has been forced to start studying the "disease" (they're doing tests on 60 such patients to see if they can find anything at all wrong with them -- nothing so far) because resources are getting used up by these patients who now turn up at medical centers and insist on being tested ... over and over again.
Though let us stop here and point out that we'll all feel like assholes if this does in fact turn out to be a real disease.

I would like to know why do you play FM? That's all...
I simply love it!
I'm an addict...
I have no life -_-
I want to win everything with the club I love.
I would like to know why do you play FM? That's all...
Last edited by FootballManagerBlog; 14-11-2011 at 11:46.
Er... all of the above?
Because I have to do something until a new version of Eastside Hockey Manager comes out.
Because FM is the only realistic football game. Fifa and PES are fine games but it's arcade football (in Fifa, the ball is the weight of a feather, i prefer play realistic football in watching like FM than play theses console games).
because your mum is busy
in all seriousness i play it because i enjoy it
Addddddict ....... but I could stop if I wanted ........... just ...... one ..... more...... .game ......
I play it because I enjoy it. As soon as the enjoyment stops it is time to find something else to do with the vast quantities of time I spend playing it.
FM is a way of life, its a lifestyle
1st and 4th option for me.
www.fmbosnia.com - The game starts here
im an addict, I dont want to play anymore, I hate it most of the time but I have to be on it
Because I got bored of football games where I could control the players and wanted something more entertaining and realistic
Because I have no life and the Mrs annoys me.
Missing the other, explain below option.
For me, I'd rather play FM then that I'd have talk about feelings or do other scary stuff with the misses
LOL wow I didn't know they're were players who are into the game as much as me.
I love playing FM because its so realistic and because I love trying to improve the fortunes of my fave team(Inter) and taking mid-level teams to the top while watching top clubs crumble(hopefully).
I simply love it, a nice distraction from real life, with a million different ways of playing it.
Because FC Porto win almost everything in Portugal... so FM it«s the only way to Benfica have some glory again!
I vote for number 1 but what is the difference between love it and be addict, especially when FM is a passion for you ?
Unfortunately I have a life.. i wish i could play all day but work gets in my way
Anyone going crazy like this kid while playing FM?

Old Friends, Older TrucksWritten by on March 1, 2005 Contributors: Julia Aschenberg Shades Of The Past Club Run 22
When a truck-loving family travels, everyone gets excited about the new adventure, no matter how long they'll be away from home. During the summer, everyone packs shorts, swim trunks, and sunglasses. Oh, don't forget your camera! You'll want to share your cruisin' vacation trip with friends and family back home. Because our summers are spent attending various car shows, we drive to enjoy the highway scenery and the quality family time.
One of our favorite events (we go every year) is the Shades of the Past car club's annual show in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. This year made our 13th consecutive trip to the hills and hollers, and we've enjoyed 'em all. Every year we meet with old friends and add new ones. Through the years we've talked to many vehicle owners who also enjoy driving to Tennessee. These owners arrive from such places as Virginia, West Virginia, the Carolinas, Maryland, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Ohio. You can see it's mainly Southeast vehicles.
Pigeon Forge is a fun place to visit. The sights are plentiful for kids of all ages. There's shopping galore, arcades, go-cart racing, miniature golf, and unique and entertaining sightseeing activities. Throw in the Shades of the Past car show and you have a completely different atmosphere in the town for the entire weekend.
This year made the 22nd consecutive year of the event. Each year, fresh rides are debuted in hopes of winning a prestigious Top 25 Pick. This past year, the club upped the cutoff date to '64. It appears this was a popular decision. There was plenty to see, from early-'30s rods to the mid-'60s street machines. Again, this year the show was held at the Smokey View Ranch, a short distance west of the main drag in Pigeon Forge.
The weather also cooperated throughout the days and very pleasant evenings-the perfect time for cruising the six-lane boulevard. We were so pleased about the weather since the state of Florida was hit hard with seasonal hurricanes and we were sure Tennessee would see the tail end of these storms.
Enjoying the great weather, we decided to cruise the boulevard with club member Bobby Alloway and friends. We were able to capture some interesting driving shots of cars and trucks cruising through town from the back of Bobby's Crew Cab Chevy truck.
As always, this is two-day show that begins on Friday and ends on Saturday, leaving Sunday for the trip home. Friday starts with the Top 25 Pick & Celebrity Pick recipients. Saturday is reserved for the Southeast Deuce Gathering. All of the picks are displayed on Saturday in a roped-off area for everyone to inspect. People were also able to enjoy the opportunity to talk with the owners and builders. This year (as in the past) judges selected from the Top 25 Pick, a Best of Show Street Rod and Street Machine. The Best of Show Street Rod was awarded to Caryn Burch of Parker, Texas, for her beautiful '37 Ford coupe. Best of Show Street Machine honors went to Jim and Sandy Boruff of Maryville, Tennessee, for their creative '53 Ford F-100 pickup. We made an honorary Celebrity Pick for CCT that went to Michael Nabers from Asheboro, North Carolina, in his cover-gracing '57 Chevy pickup (CCT Aug. '04).
Plenty of commercial vendors were on hand, as well as a sizeable swap meet for great deals on parts and even a complete car if you needed one. For those who enjoy participating or simply attending a premier automotive event, the Shades of the Past car and truck show is exactly that, and more. We hope you mark your 2005 calendar for the weekend after Labor Day for the Shades of the Past Rod Run XXIII. We hope to see you there.

text: How many chibi animals can you think of? Here is a strange concept, I have been drawing all sorts of chibi characters and animals right? Well get this, I have never made a tutorial on "how to draw a chibi puppy", step by step. I know I did a chibi cat, and that was horrible, but I never drew a chibi puppy. This tutorial came out wicked cool and incredibly adorable. I wanted to do something different with the puppy and to do so I've drawn in a piece of cloth that is clearly hanging out from it's mischievous mouth. He sort of reminds me of my six month old puppy who is always getting into trouble. We are constantly finding torn toilet paper, newspaper, regular paper, and even homework torn all over the floor. She even bit my new bed and put dent holes in the wood of the leg. By looking at this chibi puppy you would think that is is going to be hard to draw right? Wrong. I made sure that this puppy was going to be easy to draw, and that is why I know you will have fun learning "how to draw a chibi puppy". I hope you have fun, and I also hope you have enjoyed your drawing day!

Besides eyeballing it and comparing the line to the seat tube, are there any tricks to getting 48 splined crank arms perfectly aligned? I must have spent a solid 15 minutes looking at them from every angle until I was satisfied.

If your bearings are decent, just take the non-drive pedal off and let the pedal weight pull the other side down, or slowly let it fall from slightly off center. This is how I could tell with my Bullseye cranks, besides hopping on and trying to pedal it. If that doesn't work then I'd try tying a heavy weight or looping a paint can around one of the pedals close to the crank.
You're looking for a 7.5 degree distance, so on 185mm cranks that's 24mm or nearly and inch of diference between splines. Weighting the opposite side enough should make it clear. I then took some nail polish and marked both the crank and axle so I didn't have to play this game again.
Some BMX cranks are keyed, so that they will fit only one way. If yours is not keyed, then, no, there is no better way to line it up than to do it by eye.
If you want to double check it, take a plumb bob, and place it across the center of the pedal threads on one crank. Turn the crank until the string lines up with the other pedals' thread center.
If the string follows the center of the crank arms, you are lined up.
As pointed out by @Ehryk, the difference is pretty visually noticeable. Probably not worth all the effort involved here, since you see an almost 1 inch variation by eye easily.
Besides the given suggestion(s), another possibility (although a bit overkill) could be to take a picture from afar (5m+), with the camera aligned to the bottom bracket axis, and analyze the alignment on the zoomed image, via eyeballing or some drawing/viewing program.
I would try using trial-and-error. First I'd attach one crank arm and get the nut finger tight. Then I'd put the second on where I thought it should be, take it off and put it on one tooth away from that, then try again in the other direction. I can't help but imagine that (as Ehryk mentioned) when it's wrong, it would be very obviously wrong.
Once I was satisfied with that, I'd line up one of the arms with the seat post or the down tube, take a few steps back, and eyeball it.

Architect 2.2 not starting after auto upgrade (Windows)
Hi Sencha,
today i tried to install the new auto update and after that SA does not start anymore!
I also tried to deinstall and reinstall current version from sencha.com. Same result.
After deleting
USER\AppData\Local\Sencha\Sencha Architect 2.2
directory completely i got a fresh version that is able to start.
Hopefully you will find a solution for future updates that does not need to always
flush existing preferences, etc.
Current Solution, if SA does not start anymore:
drop sencha config directory "USER\AppData\Local\Sencha\Sencha Architect 2.2"
Cheers Holger
15 Mar 2013 9:10 AM #2
Thanks very much for your report, and especially for taking initiative to find and post a workaround - we really appreciate it!
It'll also hopefully make it easier to see why you encountered this issue and fix it in the future.
I do apologize for the inconvenience. We're looking into this.Steve Sobel

Architect 2.2 not starting at all on windows 8
I'm sorry if this is off topic, but I too have the problem where Architect 2.2 doesn't start. I just downloaded the evaluation package and installed it and it doesn't do anything.
When I click the desktop icon, it creates the Sencha Architect 2.2 directory in the user directory, but then just silently dies. Is there a special prerequisite that I have to install to get this running?
I tried to submit a ticket or ask this question from the company, but I can only do that if I purchase the product and support, but I can't purchase unless I get a working product....
18 Mar 2013 12:46 PM #4
version 2.1 is running but 2.2 is not
Maybe this will hep fixing up the 2.2 release :
After installation 2.2 will create an empty Sencha Architect 2.2 directory under users. Since 2.1 launched without problems, I duplicated the contents of 2.1 Architect 2.0 directory, but used the new ion file. Now 2.2 also started without problems.

[tweetmeme]This is a video where I will take you through a day at the local airport.
I will show You how a glider airplane looks from both the outside and the inside.
I will also take the camera with me up in the air to show you the wonderful view high up in the sky.
The footage is both from the ground and up to an altitude of 600m (2000 ft) above ground level.
The weather conditions this day was very good. A lot of thermal activity in the air which is desired when oyu fly a glider. :)
Flying a glider can be the most peaceful and calm experience you can ever imagine. Flying without an engine, you will only hear the sound of air flowing outside the glider. An Awesome experience that everyone should try at least one time in their lives :)
The flight doesn't have to be calm and peaceful if you don't want it to. It can also be the best roller-coaster and thrill ride you can ever imagine! The feeling of butterflies in my stomach when I do a looping or a roll had yet to be beaten by something else. It is definitely one of the best experience you will ever have in your life :)
If you are ever coming to where I live in Sweden and we have connected online before, don't hesitate to contact me and I'll do my best to arrange a ride for you! ;)
To the Top (up in the Sky),
Dr Jon
PS. What do You Think about flying? Have you ever been trying one of these gliders?
If you like this post, please leave a comment and Tweet it to your friends! :)
Much Appreciated!

TierraCast Gold 0.75-Inch Bead Bar
TierraCast bead bars are a unique way to showcase your favorite large hole beads. Bead bars are designed for creating unique dangles with components that are too large for headpins, such as lampwork, porcelain and specialty beads. The bars are approximately 2.4mm thick with a 2.8mm thick ball end. If the bead you are trying to display has a hole size bigger than the end of this bar, simply use one of our many large-hole spacer beads on one end or both ends for better symmetry, as those spacer beads are designed to fit on these bead bars.

I am using Python 2.6 and ArcObjects in ArcGIS 10.0 to build and draw, among other things, graphic text on the current display. At one point I need to use the ITextSymbol.GetTextSize method. In a function called BuildSignGraphic() have the following:
def BuildSignGraphic(pFeature, annoFC):
pTextSymbol.GetTextSize(pDisplay.hDC, pDisplay.DisplayTransformation, txt, dblX, dblY)
When I run my code I get a name error:
NameError: global name 'dblX' is not defined
In VB.NET, the dblX variable would be explicitly declared, but Python doesn't do this. Because the dblX and dblY variables are input and get populated by the method, how do I go about defining these two variables so that Python can recognize them? This is an uncommon syntax for a method in ArcObjects, but I think it does occur elsewhere in ArcObjects.
Thanks in advance for the assistance.
Cheers, Ti

Ford Racing Whipple Supercharger Install - The Bumpside Build-OnWritten by on May 26, 2010 Introduction To Streetable Forced Induction For Mod Engines From Ford Racing
I know many of you have been wondering where the Bumpside Build-On (and on) has gone and all I can say is nowhere-which is part of the problem. I won't ramble on about life and this and that, but many of you know how things go when your project is a one-man (or woman) show and if you don't work on it nothing gets done. Such is the case here-I have no help and little time-but fear not! The end is near. I think what I needed was a good shot in the arm to get excited about the truck again, which came in the form of a 550hp needle thanks to two cool words: forced induction.
Many of you know that my '68 F-100 was a good test bed for Ford Racing Performance Parts (FRPP) to develop their stand-alone 4.6/5.4L three-valve engine harness and with that now in their catalog, they wanted to show what else you could do with it, fairly easily I might add. There is only minor engine work (removing and replacing parts) needed to gain an alleged 250 hp over the stock 300 ponies.
Ford Racing and Whipple Superchargers have teamed up to assemble blower kits for all the late-model Ford engines, which basically gives you loads of OEM-approved power along with reliability in a well-engineered package. There are actually two levels of FRPP supercharger kits. One is a 400hp/400 lb-ft kit (4.6L three-valve) that is pretty basic and simple and does this by running 5 pounds of boost. The second is the 550hp/542 lb-ft Big Boost kit, which is a modified version of the previous that pumps up the boost to 11 pounds and requires a full air-to-liquid intercooler system and an upgraded fuel system. Lucky for me, I overbuilt the fuel system in the truck to begin with "just in case," and the -8 (1/2-inch) send and return lines are ample for the big boost kit, which works with the stock 11mm (roughly 7/16) Mustang fuel lines. The Big Boost kit does come with an upgrade to dual fuel pumps for the stock Mustang gas tank, which isn't very usable in a non-stock application. Luckily, the dual pump setup and the harness (PN M-9407-GT05) for it can be sold online to recoup about seven bills. Both kits are 50-state smog legal and built to order.
Since the engine in the '68 is an '08 4.6L three-valve that's the FRPP/Whipple Big Boost kit we'll be installing here. Because it's meant to be installed in a stock '08 Mustang GT there will be a few things that will need to be adapted to fit the surroundings of the F-100, like the aforementioned fuel system. First and foremost in this issue we'll go over the basic install of actually getting the blower onto the engine and some of the wiring sorted back out. Remember from Sept. '09 how we cut open the stock wire loom and ran everything under the intake for a nice uncluttered look? Well, that was great, but wasn't going to work with the blower, so it all had to come back out and get cleaned up (why can't we leave well enough alone in the first place?). There are plenty of other little things that need to be redone on the truck to accommodate the supercharger, like the fuel line from the rail to the fuel pressure regulator, slight regulator relocating, and a few other details.
Next month we'll install the Big Boost/intercooler system and tie up any other loose ends that come with the adaptation of a kit like this into an older vehicle. In the meantime, whether or not you are in the market for a blower, Ford Racing has turnkey 4.6L V-8 crate engines ready to rock. Check out their website for all the info and even sounds.

In the kit comes new Ford Racing spark plugs that you most likely have to replace the stock ones with, but the coils need to come off first. Don't forget a 9/16 spark plug socket and a little antiseize on the threads of the plugs that appear to be stainless and thread into the aluminum heads. The coils can be reinstalled at this time.The fuel pressure sensor in the driver-side fuel rail needs to be disconnected, and the two studs holding each fuel rail removed before the fuel rails can be pulled off the intake. Of course, the fuel injector terminals need to be removed from each injector too. If your engine has been run, there is most likely gas still in the rails that needs to be dumped out once they are off.Once all the wires and PCV tubes have been disconnected from the top end, the manifold bolts can come out, and the manifold lifted off the engine. The composite intake was a welcome change to the old cast-iron intakes. Tape up all the intake and water passages in the block until you are ready to install the blower manifold.The stock water crossover needs to be swapped out for the supplied blower specific piece, see the dip in the top? That's for the blower snout. Along with it comes a new 160-degree thermostat and new thermostat housing. After removing the stock crossover, use its factory O-ring gaskets on the new one.With the crossover and alternator out of the way, the heater hose in the valley needs some mods. After a call to Ford Racing I opted to run a straight hose out the back that will be cut to length and attached to the heater core. This eliminates the factory hard/soft lines that weren't really working for the routing I needed anyway. Just make sure your hose clamp at the block is tight so you don't have any leaks.Both static serpentine belt idler pulleys need to be removed so the new alternator brackets can be installed.There are a few pieces that make up the new alternator mounts, which also incorporate another small idler pulley. The lower right side alternator stud also gets removed and replaced with a supplied bolt. Pretty much all the hardware on any modern engine, both foreign and domestic, is metric, so make sure you are using the right set of tools. A good torque wrench or wrenches are required as you'll be torquing bolts in both foot-pound and inch-pound.The idler pulley that is spring loaded now gets removed. The limiting stop on it needs to be ground off, and the stock pulley removed and replaced with the larger supplied pulley.
One of the cool things about many of the modern engines is the use of O-rings instead of traditional gaskets. It makes removal and replacement a breeze, especially since the O-rings are generally reusable like these for the intake that were removed from the stock intake and get installed in the new blower intake once the supercharger is removed from it.Using the supplied bolts I began to torque down the blower intake to the engine starting from the center and moving out on each side at 89 in-lb. Making a second pass with the torque wrench brought them all to 125 in-lb.For anyone with any question if the supercharger will fit without interfering with anything like the firewall or cowl, test it first before cementing in the base gasket. Once you are sure, lift it into place carefully-it's heavy! I put tape on any possible area that might come in contact with any of the truck. It was a tight squeeze in my truck because the engine sits so far back so the oil pan clears the front crossmember, which is kicked up 2 inches.Now the blower can be torqued to the intake at 20 ft-lb. Again, start from the center and move out. I found that a 10mm crow's foot attachment made the wrench fit under the blower case and into the corners.The stock fuel injectors need to be removed from the fuel rails. There is a little metal clip that holds each one on that needs to come off without ruining them so they can be reused when installing the supplied new injectors. Again, there is probably still gas that comes out of the rails when you remove the old injectors (hopefully it won't get soaked up by your instruction booklet!).A small amount of oil on the injector O-rings makes them easier to set into the intake. Carefully push the fuel rail and injectors back into the intake and reinstall the studs. The instructions say to install the supplied rubber fuel line that connects the two fuel rails before fuel rail installation and to run it over the blower as shown here. I couldn't stand the way it looked after a few minutes and went and bought a longer piece and wound up routing it around the back of the blower-form and function.To go along with the black wrinkle finish on the blower, I got a set of matching valve covers. They are also available in blue wrinkle and chrome powdercoat.I have to admit I was a little nervous about taking off the stock valve covers. I wasn't sure about the mechanical beast I would uncover with the 24-valve, single overhead-cam engine design (despite all this new stuff I'm still old-fashioned at heart). Again, the O-ring gasket design came in handy here and made for a no muss, no fuss valve cover swap.With the valve covers on and most of the electrical connectors reattached, things were looking complete again. But notice the difference in the wiring on the left and on the right, and the absence of the fuel rail crossover line running over the blower; this didn't happen by accident. I spent a few hours with the stock wiring loom and some cloth-like split loom to make the left look so tidy. I don't like the way plastic split loom looks, plus it's not as pliable. Check your local electrical supply house. I got this split loom in three different diameters from one down the street from the office called Orvac Electronics.
The driver side is a little tougher because there are a few more wires there, plus the throttle-body leg of the blower gets in the way. There are three connectors that the instructions say have to be lengthened, but with a little patience working the wiring harness I got away so far with simply rerouting the throttle position sensor (right) and the drive-by-wire throttle pedal connector (left). The third is the mass airflow sensor (not shown), which I haven't got to yet (next month).For the wiring faint of heart who don't want to mess with cutting open the stock harness, here are the supplied lengthening kits for the aforementioned connectors. All these involve is simple cutting, crimping, and heat shrinking, but where is the fun in that?I'll admit that it took several hours per side to execute the wiring harness beautification, but I'm very glad I did it. There was actually no cutting of wires involved; it was all rerouting and repackaging.It just seemed like a bulky wiring loom on each side of the blower wouldn't do it justice, and this proves it and this is the more cluttered side.Another area that I wasn't sure about at first, but thanks to a call to Ford Racing, I found out that the stock fuel pressure sensor vacuum line that goes to the 90-degree barb fitting on the back of the blower intake needed to T and also go to the Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator since I'm not running a stock late-model Ford fuel system.Not a bad start, huh? Next month we'll go over the intercooler system, and what it'll take to incorporate it into a vehicle that's 40 years older than Ford Racing intended the kit for. We'll also touch on any other gray areas and hopefully finish it all up. In the meantime I'll be busy doing sheetmetal work to get the Bumpside ready for at least some primer/sealer!

What is the meaning of the hishtadlus that Yaakov made with the conception of the animals starting at 30 (37)?
Is it or was it a natural thing that the colouring of animals depends on what their mother recently saw? If not, what is the implication?
Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan quotes Kabbalistic sources that he was using meditation "to direct spiritual energy and actually to change the genetic structure of the sheep ... manipulating some of the highest spiritual forces that exist." Okay, as I'm neither a Kabbalist nor a bioengineer, I'll take his word for it ...
The simplest way to read the whole story (as I see it) is that whatever breed of livestock they had back then, two white sheep would occasionally give birth to a brown or spotted one. Let's assume that brown/spotted is the recessive trait, and white is the dominant one. So probability would have if both male and female sheep are carriers of the brown/spotted trait, there's a 25% chance the offspring will be brown/spotted. If so, when Yaakov is given a vision of spotted sheep mating, what he's likely seeing is a representation of the recessive trait (spotted) winning out each time. Effectively, Yaakov was doing a bunch of coin tosses and hoping to get heads every time.
Now it appears that G-d prefers to bend the rules of nature slightly more often than bend them drastically, and he does that more often than break them entirely. So here it's just a matter of tweaking the probabilities. If so, there are several explanations of what Yaakov is doing:
Regardless, the message Lavan is getting is that external influence makes a difference -- which further drives home Yaakov's point that it's best for his family to get out of Mesopotamia and go back their family in Canaan.
One of the answers the Mizrachi to Rashi on Bereshit 30:39 brings is that the sticks were just used to cover up the miracle. The angel appeared to Yaakov and showed him that all the animals would be born with the pattern that would benefit Yaakov. Yaakov then used to sticks to hide the miracle.
(The Mizrachi is addressing another issue, which is how could Yaakov be dishonest? Wasn't he cheating Lavan?)
However, based on the other answers the Mizrachi gives, we can see that the Mizrachi holds that the sticks do work to affect the coloring of the child.
Me'am Loez on this parsha actually talks about it.
Quick translation:
This would seem to mean that this is in fact a natural thing.
Additionally, as @avi reminded me, there are many references throughout Torah that what the parents have in mind, or look at, or where they are, during relations will strongly impact their child. The effects it can have range from looks (like R' Yochanan), to sicknesses, to the garments of the soul (Tanya, explaining Zohar and Zohar Chadash).
According to the Cartoon guide to Genetics, when the goats saw the reeds, they were predisposed to mate with other goats that had similar characteristics, causing an increase in the population of that type of animal. It also brings up the idea of this being an example of recessive genes.
I don't think that there is any one answer to this.
1) according to Shadal, indeed, the koach hadimyon (imaginative faculties) were at work in causing the coloring of the sheep.
2) At the same time, he presents an alternate explanation by which the female sheep preferred male sheep which matched the pattern of the sticks.
He connects it with an idea put forth in Bereishit Rabba, though I am not convinced that that is the intent of that midrash.
3) I also present in the above link the opinion of Dr. Yehuda Feliks, that Yaakov Avinu knew modern genetics, before Gregor Mendel did. And thus, a way it can work in accordance with modern genetics. I don't find this last one entirely convincing.
4) Finally, my own position (with grounding in ideas by R' Yosef Ibn Caspi in general) is that Yaakov Avinu thought that he was accomplishing something, based on contemporary science. Of course, contemporary science was bunk. However, "Rabbos machshavos b'lev ish, va'atzas Hashem, hi takum." And indeed, according to Yaakov's dream, it was Divine Intervention which caused this. Still, Yaakov did his hishtadlus, which was understood (by him and others) to be genuine hishtadlus based on the mistaken beliefs of the time.
Edit: I'll just add that HodOfHod's answer is legitimate, in that this presents the view of Chazal. They believed, based on contemporary science, that the imaginative faculties would have an impact on the fetus. And the story cited to bolster this is a indeed a maaseh shehaya. But in that maaseh shehaya, there was most likely indeed infidelity, and Rebbe resolved it incorrectly as maternal impression. See here for a contemporary parallel.

Is there any general idea of what percentage of loan words come from which languages? I always thought the majority of them came from English, but I keep seeing more and more that originated in Germany and Portugal.

This puts English derived words at something like 80% of foreign origin words (this would exclude 漢語{かんご}). It also has some lists of words separated by origin (leaving out English-derived words).
Let's assume for a moment that this list is in some way representative of non-English derived katakana loanwords. A rough calculation suggests that the most common origin is French (~26%), followed by German (~20%), Portuguese (~11%), Dutch (~9%), Latin (~9%), Italian (~8%), and Russian (~7%), Korean (~5%).
This list also marks the period at which words were introduced. What if we only include words marked as Meiji period or earlier? That cuts the list down to less than half size. Unsurprisingly, Portuguese and Dutch feature heavily:
Portuguese (~25%), Dutch (~20%), Korean (~12%), French (~11%), German (~11%), Ainu (~6%), Greek (~5%).
I've included the words listed for Korean and Ainu in the statistics although I would think that this word list isn't at all reflective of the actual relationship between Japanese and these languages. For the European languages, however, Portuguese and Dutch early on and words from French and German becoming more prominent later makes perfect sense from a historical perspective.
Page 12 of "Welcome to Japanese", by Kenneth Henshall with Junji Kawai, says that 45% of words are native Japanese, 45% are Chinese, 8% are English, and 2% are other. It mentions Portuguese and German as examples of other languages that have contributed words to Japanese.

Manuel Cazares is sitting behind bars at the Jefferson City Correctional Center.
He's sentenced to live there the rest of his life plus an additional 25 years after being found guilty on two counts of second-degree murder and unlawful use of a weapon in the deaths of Amanda Thomas and Patrick Eppley.
And the higher state court isn't going to change that.
An appeal filed by Cazares following his trial was affirmed by the Missouri Eastern Appellate Court in December and is now officially closed.
Cazares' appeal was based mostly on two incidents presented at trial; the crime scene and autopsy photos presented to the jury, and the demonstration Cazares gave showing the jury how he stabbed Thomas and Eppley to death. Court records claim Cazares was deprived of due process and a fair and impartial trial.
The records also indicated the court "abused discretion in overruling Cazares' objection and allowing the state to require him to demonstrate for the jury how he stabbed the victims." And that Marion County Prosecutor Tom Redington "withheld evidence (Cazares' cell phone records)" which defense attorneys claimed violated Brady v. Maryland which states due process clause requires the prosecutor disclose to defense any exculpatory evidence which comes to his or her attention.
Appeal records also claimed Cazares' sixth and 14th amendment rights were violated, that he "suffered improper prejudices" and "... Todd Schulze (public defender) failed to function as the state's adversary ..."
"The state had no logical relevance for the reenactment of the stabbing and the reenactment did not have any type of 'tendency to make the existence of a material fact more or less probable'," appeal records state. "The state presented no evidence as to their belief as to how the stabbings were committed by Cazares. Therefore, the circumstances of the reenactment or demonstration were wholly without merit and the state could not state with any degree of certainty that the reenactment or demonstration was in any way similar to what had occurred at Thomas' apartment..."
Appeals Court judges affirmed the lower court ruling Nov. 27, 2012 and the case was closed three weeks later Dec. 19, 2012.

We know that taking photo of the sun can cause some degree of damage to the camera and our eyes. So, are there any damage to the camera (point and shoot / DSLR) when taking photo of the moon and/or stars at night? (Because the moon gets the light from the sun.)
The light from such objects is nowhere near bright enough to cause damage to the sensor, however using really long exposures to capture dim distant stars could damage the sensor by overheating.
Most modern DSLRs have heat sensors and cutoffs to prevent this, but if you're using an older camera and keeping the shutter open for hours with an external power source I imagine you could do some damage!
I'm not trying to be alarmist, but I would recommend a series of short exposures (less than one minute) with cooloff time in between for the best results. Multiple exposures can then be stacked in software to reduce noise. Unless you have a tracking mount you'll get star trails with longer exposures so that's another bonus of short exposures.
The moon is not anywhere close as bright as the sun (it's basically a giant diffuse, grey reflector), and so there is little risk. According to Wikipedia, the full moon at its brightest is about 400,000 times dimmer than the sun. That's 18 1/2 stops!
However, the moon does tend to get overexposed in photographs, since it's hard to fill the frame without a really long lens and space is really dark. As such it's best to shoot in manual mode or bring exposure compensation way down.
This is a repeat of
No, there cannot be any damage, not to the camera and not to your eyes either.
In the case of the moon and/or planets, there is not enough brightness to cause any damage, and the lens cannot increase the surface brightness. In the case of the stars, they are never more than a single point of light, so even with the largest telelens the brightness is too low to damage anything.

I am no biologist, but as a physicist, a spontaneous mutation (seen as a chemical transformation) should lower the energy of the system, at least locally. So I wonder if any research has been done along these lines for the DNA.
Why do you think that? Because it's an endothermic reaction?
Consider that mutations don't happen "just like that" (at least to my knowledge) –they are triggered by external energy influx from things like reactive oxygen species or ionising radiation. So yes, they cost energy but that energy doesn't come energetically unstable chemical bonds; it is supplemented from external sources.
So it's not necessarily true that mutations produce lower-energy chemical bonds.
I'm going to attempt an answer to this at the level of undergraduate biochemistry: apologies in advance if this is not sufficiently sophisticated.
The most frequent spontaneous mutation is deamination of cytosine to uracil (hydrolysis with loss of ammonia). Strictly in terms of the double helical structure of the DNA molecule this, it seems to me, would be destabilizing because of the change from a GC base pair (3 hydrogen bonds) to a GU base pair (2 hydrogen bonds).
The reaction kinetics of DNA mutations are complicated by the fact that the DNA doesn't exist in isolation, and in fact is actively processed and maintained by the cellular machinery.
For example, as Alan Boyd notes, the most common spontaneous mutation is the deamination of cytosine to uracil: Cyt + H2O → NH3 + Ura. On its own, the reverse of this reaction, i.e. spontaneous amination of uracil to cytosine, would be very unlikely, if only because the low concentration of ammonia compared to water in cellular fluid.
However, in a living cell, there are DNA repair enzymes that actively look for uracil in DNA and remove it, allowing other enzymes to come along and replace it with the original cytosine. This keeps the effective Cyt → Ura mutation rate far below what it would be in the absence of active repair.

Kerberos...what a name for a protocol eh? Well according to Wikipedia "The protocol was named after the Greek mythological character Kerberos (or Cerberus), known in Greek Mythology as being the monstrous three-headed guard dog of Hades." Well whatever you think of the name we are stuck with it now so might as well learn how to use it to secure web services. And you are in luck once again as the gang from patterns & practices along with some help from the WSE team and RDA have another fascinating discussion about how, why and when you should use Kerberos tokens to secure web services.
Oops, something didn't work.
This is great but how can one view the online demos?

Outside of legislatively authorized pay increases, changing a position's salary, salary grade, or payroll title requires advance approval of the Compensation Office.
A professional staff position may be reviewed for:
A review can be initiated by the appointing authority, manager, supervisor, or employee. All review requests require approval by the supervisor, the department/division head, and the appointing authority (dean or vice president or medical center CEO/COO) before the review request is sent to the Compensation Office for review.
The Professional Staff Program mandates that: "current performance evaluation (one completed within the previous 12 months) is required to support recommendations for merit salary adjustments, and in-grade or grade change salary increases." There are no exceptions to this requirement.
Follow the process below for the type of review you are requesting:
To review a salary when current salary grade is appropriate, but a salary increase is desired for reasons such as:
Most in-grade salary adjustment requests are processed within three business days of receipt if:
Requests that do not meet these criteria may take longer, but most in-grade adjustment reviews are completed within 10 to 15 business days of receipt.
To change a payroll title when the salary and grade remain appropriate.
Typically done to better align the payroll title with the nature of the work, or when Human Resources Compensation determines that the payroll title should change to match the appropriate professional staff exemption.
Most payroll title change requests are completed within 30 business days of receipt.
To review a professional staff position that requires academic training in a scientific or engineering discipline, where the level of responsibility has changed significantly in:
Or to review a monthly-paid classified or academic position where the unit's administration believes the position meets the research exemption criteria and should be properly assigned to one of the Research Scientist/Engineer job titles displayed below.
