5 Cultures With the Most WTF Wedding Rituals
Flowers, candy and whiskey fueled midnight sexts are fine for chumps with no imagination. But we say if you're not willing to ritualistically shame yourself for your sweetheart, maybe it's not really love.
Just take a look at courtship rituals around the world, and you realize how much more awesome and/or insane things could be.
#5. Spartan Brides Butched it Up for their Wedding Days
Modern brides will do anything to get that perfect wedding day. Hair, nails, facials, dresses made of golden gossamer fairy wings; no expense is spared to play the part of the pretty, pretty princess on that special day.
"Maybe I should have chosen a husband..."
The brides of ancient Sparta were just like modern brides, if we were in Oppositeville.
For starters, they began the big day by shaving their heads. Second, they donned men's clothes and sandals. Then, instead of participating in a ridiculously expensive ceremony with family and friends, prospective brides laid alone in the dark on a pallet, waiting for their grooms to come and steal them away in the night. Once a groom had his way with his new bride, he deposited her shaved, man-clothed self back at her parent's home. Done. Married. Que romantico!
And what a lovely bride!
She wouldn't see him again until the next night, or the night after that. Sometimes, years could go by before these married lovebirds actually saw each other in the daytime.
According to some historians, to help ease the Spartan groom into heterosexuality.
Spartan men were avid practitioners of dude-love. While we might be tempted to think this made them champions of gay rights, the reality was that women were so poorly regarded in ancient Greece that, not only weren't they regarded as citizens, they didn't even deserve your warm pork injection.
The problem was that when the time came to do their duty to their species, Spartan men didn't even know where to stick their bits. So to facilitate the soldier's transition from gay love to straight love, brides shaved away their femininity and threw on some man clothes.
As for the sneaking around stuff, Spartan men were required to live in military barracks until the age of 30, but the average age of marriage for men was 25. So most couples married, did the hanky-panky in the woods or whatever, made some babies, and didn't even live in the same household for the first few years of their marriages. Hey, we wonder how the Spartan men comforted each other over the absence of the women in their lives? Eh, we'll probably never know.
#4. Brides Who Cry... for Weeks
A little emotion at a wedding is expected. A dramatic solitary tear, a quiet sniffle, even the occasional nose honking into a tissue is acceptable. But brides in Southwest China's Sichuan Province take it to a whole new level. For one thing, they start crying a full month before the wedding. Every night, for about an hour a night. Like, they totally pencil it onto their calendars.
9:00: The Office - New Episode!
Ten days into the ritual, things start getting really surreal. That's when the bride's mom joins the act, sobbing it up every night with her daughter. Ten days later, grandma enters the picture. By the end of the month, every female member of the family is wailing away like a very bad scene from a very bad romantic comedy.
Worst Rom-Com ever.
The custom is called Zuo Tang, or "Sitting in the Hall." It doesn't really matter what they cry about, but many brides take the opportunity to curse the jerks who arranged her marriage to the ugliest dude in the village.
It started when the mother of a Chinese princess wailed like a whiny baby at her daughter's marriage, dropping to her knees like a lowlife peasant.
Shameless, really. But apparently, because she did it, everyone thought it was tres chic, and a thousand year fad was born, only it was the brides who were expected to do the crying, and the more tears the better. Those who didn't get the job done were often beaten by their mothers.
Fast-forward a million or so years and brides in the province are still performing a version of the ceremony, singing their cries in mournful "Crying Marriage Songs," which probably sound every bit as horrible as we imagine.
#3. Drinking Trash Juice out of a Toilet (For Love)
When you think about France, you probably think about rose petals, coffee shops, black turtlenecks, really long bread rolls and all the other things that American movies tell us about France.
All French people are hilariously incompetent. Every. Single. One.
You probably don't immediately picture a group of slavering wedding guests hunched over a table slurping garbage out of a toilet bowl. But that's exactly what occurs during La Soupe, a wedding tradition seemingly cooked up by cracked-out hobos.
Here's how it works: After the wedding reception, the happy couple are sent on their way to their marriage bed while the bridal party stay behind to clean up the mess. They do this by dumping all the leftover punch and cake and hors d'oeuvres and napkins and bits of trash off their shoes into a chamber pot, creating a garbage stew.
While the newlyweds are tangled up in bed preparing to do the nasty, half a dozen or more loud and presumably drunk people barge into the room with a toilet full of slop and don't leave until the bride and groom drink it.
Apparently France decided to out-"What the fuck?" Japan.
To be fair, these days the soup is more commonly just chocolate and champagne, but honestly, nothing seems particularly appetizing when served out of a toilet.
Love is in the air. Also, the smell of garbage soup.
Sexin' takes energy and that's a scientific fact. What better way to provide a worn out couple with the sustenance they needed to finish their evening than to make them drink trash soup? Back when the tradition originated, the entire village would drink the garbage, and of course, these were the days when these very same chamber pots were actually used for pooping, and presumably some time before hygiene really came into vogue.

In a paper that I was reading, I stumbled across the following theorem:
Let $X$ be a vector field with $$X= > a^ix^i\partial_{x^i} + > \mathcal{O}(|x|^2),$$ where $x$ is some chart and $a^i>0$. Then there exist a chart $y$ such that $X$ is linear with respect to $y$, meaning $$X =a^iy^i\partial_{y^i}.$$
It was referenced as "Sternbergs linearization theorem" and it sounded like common knowledge in the paper, but till now I couldn't find a proof anywhere.
Does anyone know a proof or a reference to one?
Also though my intuition is that this theorem does hold, I don't really have an understanding how it is important that the $a^i$ are greater $0$. Why does this make a difference?

I had a question about a file extension I was dealing with after creating a graphics file using the computing software Maxima. When I created the plot I wanted, I saved the file and it saved as a

You need to export the plot in a graphics file. This can be either a .png, .jpg, .eps or .pdf.
However from looking at the Maxima website, it has a list of help articles for TeX exports - here. I've not used Maxima to create graphs as I tend to use GNUPlot as I find it the easiest method to create graphs and then export them into LaTeX. Might be worth investigating that if it can help.
If this software can't produce a EPS or PDF file itself you should convert the EMF file (Enhanced Windows Metafile, a Windows (read Microsoft) vector graphics format) to either PDF (
You can try to use the

There is also Inkscape (under Linux I mean), a vector graphic drawing program which reads and writes a lot of formats and does a very good job.
Under MS Windows you might also try to simply open the EMF file using whatever tool Windows provides for it and print it using a PDF printer (e.g. the free
The Lyx people have links to a Metafile to EPS converter, which works for both WMF and EMF files. This needs to be installed on a Windows system, but provided you have one of these available seems to work well. Sometimes the resulting EPS file is rather large, but for me conversion to PDF format seems to resolve this (if you are using pdfLaTeX, of course).
There are a lot of ways converting an EPS to PDF - however most of them don't work properly. For example the ImageMagick convert function places a rasterized image with unreadable textes in the PDF.
The best results I got was using the Windows built in "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" and then print to PDF using an PDFCreator (Adobe PDF 9 created small errors). After changing the paper orientation manually to landscape printing worked like a charm and the result is a vector based image.

What are some reasons that business owners choose to prevent cyclists from using the drive-thru? Are there legal issues?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Probably one of two camps:
Having cars in a drive-through is easy because they can only go by the ordering|payment|delivery windows one at a time.
Any bicycles or pedestrians in that funnel could overtake each other and make a big confusion out of the sequence. That would ruin the process for the business because it's specifically meant to only handle an unchanging sequence of customers.
Plus, drive-though is faster than going in. If lots of pedestrians walk through the drive-through then you'll end up having a long queue inside and outside which also ruins the business model for the drive-through.
When I tried it at McDonalds, they told me they were only insured for motorized vehicles coming through the drive through and would not serve me.
They had a campaign on at the time promoting something along the lines of how their food was healthy when enjoyed as part of a healthy life-style. I pointed out that I was cycling as part of my healthy lifestyle, and they really ought to do everything they could to support me with that. When I emailed them later to ask more about it and suggested they allow bikes through the drive through, they blatantly ignored my suggestion and replied restating that their insurance didn't cover them for bikes.
When I mentioned to the person at the window that I didn't have my bike lock, they told me I could take my bike inside! I wish now that I'd taken them up on the offer - I'm sure I would have struggled through their double set of doors, and my bike would have become an obstacle to other diners - but I was a bit annoyed at the time so I went elsewhere to eat. :)

Training and community service
The Seattle Conservation Corps, established in 1986, is a unique Parks and Recreation program that gives back in two ways: it trains formerly troubled people for viable, living-wage jobs, and the Corps collectively do great work in Seattle parks and for other agencies and employers on a contract basis.
It provides homeless adults opportunities to train and work in a structured program that provides them with job skills and carries out projects that benefit our citizens and our environment. It's a year-round employment program with an annual budget of about $4 million.
Rather than relying primarily on public funding, the Corps covers 75
percent of its costs by doing work for City departments and others,
and seeking grant funding for support services, training, and educational
Accountability and hands-on help
Each Corps member signs an individual performance contract agreeing to one year's employment, education, and life skills development. Each joins a crew averaging five members with an experienced staff supervisor, or Crew Lead, to oversee the work. Crews work five days a week and study after hours at the Conservation Corps Learning Center. Study topics include:
The hourly pay for each Corps member begins at the minimum wage, and
each receives case management and other services he or she may need,
including mental health counseling and drug and alcohol recovery services.
At the end of their enrollment with the Conservation Corps, each member
receives help moving into permanent employment.
Success tells the story
In a given year, over half of the members who enter the program finish it and improve their living situations. More than 80 percent leave with stable housing, and more than 90 percent leave for long-term employment paying an average wage of $9.92 per hour. Since 1986, the Corps has launched more than 800 people into full participation in the community.
In their own words
What the Conservation Corps Means to Me
Where the Corps goes to work
65% of the people who enroll in the Seattle Conservation Corps program
leave with a job.
--What people say about the Corps
"It's nice having a group that can work well with general direction
from our inspector . . . It is run as well as other consulting businesses
I have dealt with. They are courteous, helpful, willing to listen to
unusual proposals, usually able to respond faster even than a "roster"
consultant. The teams that were assigned to my projects have had foremen
who are accessible and responsive to my requests. . . I've always been
satisfied with the service I have received. I encourage other departments
to use this resource."
"As a project manager for Seattle Parks and Recreation, I've come
to rely on the Seattle Conservation Corps and its organization to consistently
get the job done on time, within specifications, and at a reasonable
cost/price, even in adverse conditions."

If I have $10$ apples, but you have $5$ apples, then I have $2$ times more apples than you. But what if I have $10$ apples, but you don't have any apples?
If you look at the graph $f(x)=\frac{10}{x}$, it shows that when $x$ approaches $0$, $f(x)$ approaches infinity. So it means I have infinity times more apples than you?

Dues Sponsorship
Members who wish to be a part of Noisebridge's consensus process, but cannot afford to pay dues in accordance with our membership guidelines may solicit sponsorship here. Sponsorship is an informal arrangement (not officially managed by Noisebridge's limited infrastructure) by which one person pays a member's dues. To avoid any conflict of interest, the payer should also be a member (and thus have their own blocking ability) but since this is not officially codified, any arrangement that the involved parties can agree upon is acceptable. This arrangement should be coordinated with the treasurer and the normal guidelines for dues payment apply.
Available to sponsor
list your name here, preferably with a link to a user page with contact info

Is there any (free) online service that can download a website, compress it, and give us a link to download the compressed website? Don't need to have lots of features for filtering data, just the basics, like include or not images, audio files, etc.
I live in Brazil, and at moment, I use a connection that its max speed is around 50kbps/s (its known as "internet pré-paga").
Sometimes I've to consult technical documentation on the web that is only accessible online, but my internet is not good and I NEED it offline too.
I've searched for it on search engines, nothing, nothing, I'm not expecting a good answer, but I appreciate your help.
Its similar to the problem described here A compression (online) service? .

Can anyone attest to the leak resistance of Lock N Lock glass containers?
Looking at a set of Borosilicate Glass (Boroseal) at 1saleaday.com flash deals. I've got hundreds of plastic LNLs, but I am wondering if the glass ones are as leakproof. My Mom wants to take soup to work, but dislikes microwaving in plastic.
Anyone buy them the last time around and can give a review?
11 Answers answer
Yes, they are both leak and air proof. Those 4 clamps guarantee this. Even after a few months, I can fill them with water, clamp it and shake it upside down with no problems.
I will warn that your mother should take the lid off before microwaving anything. Not just unclamping, I don't think the plastic top is microwave safe at all.
Cant really attest to the leak proof of the glass ones, but the plastic ones are incredible. I have put a lot of marinades in the lock and locks and have never had a single drop spill (even upside down). They are awesome!
I pack my hubby all of his lunch foods in plastic LNL's, but I include a ceramic or glass bowl/plate for micro heating. As much as I love the idea of glass LNL's and reheating, I have a lot of experience with glass chips on edges of various glass containers when they start traveling outside of my kitchen.
Glass ones seem as leakproof as my plastic ones - which is to say, quite leakproof!
LNLs are all I use for food storage. I have glass, porcelain and plastic ones. With the exception of the plastic one gallon beverage container, they have never leaked. The beverage container locks on only two sides, which is why it is not leak proof. When shaking it, I always hold it over the sink. Still, I love it. It doesn't leak when pouring.
I've used mine to marinate my food. Dump the sauce in and shake the containers like crazy. No leaks.
No problems with mine either. They have yet to leak all over my lunch bag :)
Glass is soooooo 1875......
So, you guys think LNL will hold the olive oil dressing for my salad without leaving stuff all over my bag?
Two thumbs up from here!
@thumperchick: I can tell you the plastic ones won't leak. I used to take moldy stuff and liquids for science class experiments and never had a leak. Smells and messy cleanup, yes. (See the related comment thread on removing seals and bleach cleaning.) But no leaks -- even dropped or upside down.
I believe the porcelain ones don't claim to be leakproof.
Still haven't tried the glass ones. But I think I will. But will have to wait for the next sale -- missed this one after all!

Kelly, professor of psychology and psychology department chairman, was presented the award by local businessman and DWU Board of Trustees member John Clarke.
DWU Provost Amy Novak described Kelly as "a passionate advocate for student learning. …In this professor's mind, it is insufficient for the student to merely listen to the lecture; rather, the student must engage the text with curiosity, awe and challenge."
Kelly began at Dakota Wesleyan in 2000 and became a passionate advocate for the university's honors and undergraduate research programs, becoming director of the undergraduate research program in 2003. Numerous students in the psychology program have since presented their original research at the Midwest Psychological Association, earning recognition from psychology professionals across the United States.
"Perhaps equally noteworthy has been this professor's ability to use education as a vehicle for service and civic engagement," Novak said. "For nearly two years, Dr. Anne Kelly traveled weekly with students to the Rosebud Sioux Indian Reservation to develop and implement strategies for suicide prevention. Her passion for working with the poor, vulnerable and abused within our society further led to her leadership on the suicide awareness and prevention council as well as research and advocacy locally for young girls at the Abbott House (in Mitchell)."
Kelly is married and lives in Mitchell with her husband and three children.

Allergies Health Center
Common Food Allergy Triggers
In this article
Food Allergy Symptoms continued...
Sometimes symptoms affect your whole body and are so serious that they're life-threatening. This kind of reaction is called anaphylaxis, and it's a medical emergency. It usually happens a few minutes after you've eaten. If you have asthma as well as a food allergy, you're more likely to have anaphylaxis. When you have a severe food allergy, you should carry injectable epinephrine (adrenaline) in case you have a reaction. It can ease symptoms until you can get medical attention. Do not hesitate to use the epinephrine auto-injector ever if you are unsure your symptoms are caused by an allergy. The epinephrine will not hurt you and could save your life.
For highly allergic people, even tiny amounts of a food (for example, 1/44,000 of a peanut kernel) can set off a reaction. Less sensitive people may be able to eat small amounts of their trigger food.
Hidden Triggers
The key to controlling a food allergy? Avoid the problem food. That isn't always easy, though. It may be hidden as an ingredient in something else.
- Most baked goods, like cakes and cookies, are made with eggs and sometimes nuts.
- Water-packed tuna may have added nonfat dry milk.
- Salad dressing could be made with soybean oil.
- A hot dog may contain milk protein.
So, be sure to read food labels. That's a good place to start.
Still, labels don't always tell the whole story. For example, pineapple, milk casein, or hydrolyzed soy protein may be used in microwave popcorn -- yet you won't see them on the ingredient list. You'll see the catch-all terms "flavoring" or "natural flavoring" instead. Words like "emulsifier" or "binder" can signal soy or egg in the product.
When you have a food allergy, you need to get familiar with these general terms and what specific things they can include. If you have questions about any product, check with the manufacturer. The customer service department or the quality assurance officer should be able to help you figure out if the food is safe for you.
You'll need to read menus at restaurants carefully, too. Ask about how food is prepared before you order if you have any concerns.

Ruth Marcus wrote in her article in Washington Post (September 29), titled "Fiscal Trivial Pursuit" describing the waste of the U.S. government's disclosed by the Justice Department inspector general recently that ranges from $600 Pentagon toilet seats to $16 a piece muffin billing, and she says:
"As it turns out, the receipt on which the Justice Department's inspector general based that assessment was written in a kind of catering short-hand."
I'm not very clear with the meaning of "a receipt written in a kind of catering short-hand," but can easily guess it implies a receipt in the form of hand-written, scribbled note given by vendors.
Although we have words such as '私製領収書-privately-made receipt' and 'tentatie receipt -仮領収書'usedd only for private, casual and petty cash transactions in Japan, I'm puzzled with the fact that government otentative ffices of a civilized country like America accept a (hand-written) short-hand receipt in contrast to a receipt in official (printed) form. Bureaucrats' wastes of taxpayers' money is not uncommon in any countries, but passing- by of receipts in 'catering short-hand' form meaning sloppy auditing seems to be unusual to me.
Then my question, what is the short or "standard" English word for "a receipt written in a kind of catering short-hand," that doesn't require "a kind of"?

I raised one question in Stack Overflow regarding a puzzle. It was closed with the reason stated as its not related to programming. This should be relaxed. As good programmers are natural problem solvers. They think very effectively. Infact attacking a puzzle is like finding an algorithm with order, probability, etc.
So, why still this barrier in place?

My doctor said that a side effect of radiation for rectal cancer is retrograde ejaculation. What does this mean? Will it hurt me? Will it go away?
Bruce Giantonio, MD, Medical Oncologist at Penn Medicine responds:
That is a good question. Retrograde ejaculation means that when you have an orgasm, instead of the sperm and other fluids being ejected outside of your body (thru the penis), it will go "backwards" or "retrograde" into the urinary bladder. This doesn't harm the bladder. But if you are not done having children, it can make it very hard to father a child. If that is a concern of yours, you should think about 'sperm-banking' before you start your therapy; your treatment team can advise you on that. I hope that helps.

Joseph Daniel O'Toole
Redirected from J.D. O'Toole
this wiki
Joseph Daniel "JD" O'Toole is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series, appearing as a main character in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
Character history
Joseph Daniel O'Toole was born in Liberty City, he is a member of the Sindacco Family and the manager of Paulie's Revue Bar, named after Sindacco Family Don Paulie Sindacco. He was arrested, at an unknown time, for statutory rape, even though the girl he slept with was said to be eighteen, and was raped in prison because of that. He was also suspected by the FBI to be downloading child pornography, but was never arrested for it. O'Toole, having an Irish ancestry, is upset with Paulie Sindacco as he has yet to be "made" due to not being an Italian. O'Toole then begins to work for the Leone Family and employs Toni Cipriani, after Cipriani kills some of the Sindacco mobsters at a construction site in Hepburn Heights, which O'Toole filmed to release later as a snuff film. Cipriani first helps O'Toole by driving his van around the Red Light District to allow O'Toole to get his cut from his prostitutes and then informs him that the Liberty City Police Department are going to raid his club, allowing Cipriani to rescue Don Salvatore Leone. O'Toole continues to feed Cipriani information, allowing Cipriani to protect a Leone casino in St. Marks and then to destroy the Sindacco run 'Dolls' House casino.
Cipriani begins to work for Salvatore Leone and his wife, Maria Latore, but again works for O'Toole, firstly rescuing Salvatore after he was kidnapped from Paulie's Revue Bar and later protecting Salvatore when he personally goes to kill the Sindacco mobsters at the club. O'Toole later has Cipriani follow Massimo Torini, a high-ranking member of the Sicilian Mafia, who Salvatore correctly suspects is planning something in the city. Salvatore later decides to 'make' O'Toole and has Cipriani and Mickey Hamfists accompany him to the Harwood Autocrusher and Junkyard, where O'Toole is killed by a shot to the back of the head, fired by Hamfists, who explains that O'Toole could not be trusted after turning against the Sindacco Family. Cipriani later disposes of his body, dumping the body and car into the sea.
Sometime after the events of GTA Liberty City Stories his former club is taken over again by Luigi Goterelli and is renamed Luigi's Sex Club 7. This decision also marks the beginning of the end to Sindacco interests on Portland and later Liberty City.
Mission Appearances
- GTA Liberty City Stories
- Snuff (Voice)
- Bone Voyeur! (Boss)
- Don in 60 Seconds (Boss)
- A Volatile Situation (Boss)
- Blow up 'Dolls' (Boss)
- Contra-Banned (post-mission phone call)
- Salvatore's Salvation (Boss)
- The Guns of Leone (Boss)
- Calm Before the Storm (Boss)
- The Made Man (Boss/Killed)
- The execution of Joseph Daniel O'Toole, being shot in the back of the head in a car in a secluded area whilst on an apparent assignment, is similar to the execution of Paulie Gatto in the novel and film The Godfather.
- JD's Favorite radio station is Flashback FM.
- For some reason, JD owns a fireproof Rumpo, that has an unique Vanilla-cream color.
- O'Toole also appears to take influence from Henry Hill in the film Goodfellas, both having Irish ancestry and not being made because of this.
- His last name may be a reference to Ottis Toole, a man who, in 1981, kidnapped and killed two children.
- A tombstone for O'Toole is placed at the Liberty City Cemetery, despite his body being disposed of in the sea.
- In the mission Salvatore's Salvation, O'Toole suggests that his uncle is a pedophile.
- In a beta screenshot of GTA Liberty City Stories, O'Toole is shown to wear purple glasses.
- Since he also works for the Sindacco Family who watch JD constantly and who are the Leone enemies, you can't do his missions if you wear a 'Leone's suit'.
- His computer harddrive was searched at least once by the FBI for downloaded porn.
- A figure wearing a cowboy hat can be seen in the back of O'Toole's concept artwork, in the door of his strip club, which is suggested to be Avery Carrington.
- The shadowy figure as stated above may actually be Ned Burner as it appears the figure is wearing a trench coat indicated by the shoulder straps. This can also explain O'Toole's knowledge of Sindacco plans and Burner's interest in Toni Cipriani.

If masturbation is, as stated in the Shulchan Oruch (Even HaEzer 23:1), "the worst sin in the Torah", then why is it not listed in any of the various lists of 613 Mitzvos and why is there no verse in the Torah that mentions it directly ("Do not masturbate")?

Although I think he is a Da'at Yachid, the Semag, in his list of the 613 Commandments, counts male masturbation as a Biblical prohibition in Negative Command #126.
Chazal would emphasize through exaggeration (דברו חכמים לשון הבאי). (Tamid 29a) One of the examples given there is that the Mishna says that they let the animal for the tamid sacrifice drink from a gold cup (so that it would be hydrated and the carcass would be easier to manipulate). In reality, Rava argues, a copper cup was used and the Mishna was merely expressing the service in terms of magnificence. Another example of Chazal using לשון הבאי can be found in the Teshuvos HaGeonim (Musafia, 26).
Chazal would frequently employ a similar device when denouncing certain bad behavior, for example:
The following Rambam (Commentary to Sanhedrin 7:4) might be interpreted as saying that similar exhortations found in tractate Niddah (13a,b) can be similarly understood:
Likewise, the Beis Shmuel (Even HaEzer, 23:1) is of the opinion that statement of the Shulchan Aruch cited above in the original post is not meant literally.
Some opinions hold that this is a Biblical prohibition, though there is disagreement as to the primary Biblical source of the prohibition (possible candidates include bal tashchis, v'nishmarta mikol davar ra, and others). (For example: Based on the severity of Talmudic and rabbinic statements on this topic, as well as on the Biblical source discussed by Tosafos [Avoda Zara 20b], Rabbi Moshe Feinstein holds that it must be an outright Biblical prohibition). The Tzitz Eliezer cites other opinions that variously maintain that the prohibition either is or may be Rabbinic with Biblical allusions (asmachta b'alma).
Your first question, "why is it not one of the 613 mitzvos", assumes that all important commandments are part of the 613. This is not the case. The Behag, for example, does not list belief in God as one of the 613, and Ramban explains because this is a foundational commandment, therefore it is not listed. Similarly, the obligation to develop one's character is a foundational commandment, and therefore is not included (per R. Chaim Vital). There are other commandments which are not listed in the 613 for different reasons.
Additionally, according to Rabbi Jacob Tam, this prohibition is included in the mitzva of procreation, thus it is part of the 613. And Smag counts it as an explicit commandment in his list, as other responders have noted.
Your second question, "why is there not an explicit verse", again is based on the premise that all important commandments are explicitly stated. Again, this is not so. There are indisputably important commandments which are not explicit, for example the annulment of vows, the sacrifice offering of a convert, the prohibition of bypassing one mitzva for another, seclusion with a forbidden woman, and many others.
I will stick to the Kra. I think it mentioned implicitly in the Torah:
Last Shabbat we read in the beginning of Parashat Kedoshim:
Rashi Mefaresh this as:
That is to one can reach Kedusha by refraining himself from the Arayot. Clearly, if a man MeKadesh himself by refraining from excessive intercourse habits he should Kadesh himself by refraining from masturbation.
That being said, we are shown how the Torah relates to masturbation in general: BeReshit 38, 9:

Do you book flights direct through the airline or do you use a 3rd party site?
I've generally used the airlines directly, but I don't know if there is an advantage to doing so when 3rd party retailers now offer benefits for booking through them (i.e. Orbitz Price Assurance).
12 Answers answer
Airlines svck. Since a-la-carte fees, crammed planes, no leg room and negative customer service, basically I don't fly any more. So I guess my answer is "None of the above."
I use Cheaptickets. I've compared with the airlines and half of the time, Cheaptickets is cheaper. The website is also easier to navigate than the airlines' websites.
I use whatever is cheapest and has the times I want. Sometimes certain times are only offered at the airlines site and othertimes they are only offered through 3rd parties. Not sure the reason but you have to check all of them to make sure you get what you want.
I used Expedia once, and I will never ever use it again. They saved me $30, but gave me about a good 30 minute window to get from one part of ATL to the other for my connecting flight. I never had to do so much running in my life, and I was in the Army at one point. Now this was probably 5 or more years ago, so I would think they would have fixed these issues by now.
Ever since that happened I like to deal with airlines directly. Everything about airports can be stressful, I don't need a third party adding anything else to that list.
On a side note; SWA now has a hub at my airport. I booked my first flight through them last month & saved about $300 using their "wanna get-away" fares. If everything goes smoothly; I think I'll have found my new airline. Not to mention changing a flight, person on a flight, etc is probably easier when done through the airline directly.
When I'm booking airfare, I start at a 3rd party site. This allows me to see prices from multiple airlines all in one place. Once I see who's got the best price, I go to that airline's web site to actually purchase my ticket. The reason I do that is because I find that when you go through the airline's web site, you're going to see more options as far as flight schedules. You can usually get a more favorable schedule for the same price.
I go directly to the airline. We fly Airtran from Philly to Florida a couple of times a year and it is rare that the price
Ditto what @ jazzsinger said.
I normally fly Southwest but since they don't share fares with the aggregator sites I usually check Southwest first then the other aggregator sites last. If I find a lower/better fare on an aggregator site I will then go to whatever airlines site has the best deal.
In my opinion, it is always better to book through the site of whatever airline you plan to fly with.
If you book through an airlines site and there is a problem then you get to deal with the airline. If you book through an aggregator and have a problem you have to deal with the aggreator and then the airline.
I open up a few browser tabs, Southwest and some aggregator sites and search for days and times I need and like.. Then move into other individual airline sites to confirm best pricing and flight availability...
Last trip I took I used the AMEX site's flight planner for the first time and got a good deal in addition to being able to pay for it with accumulated points... They ask at the end how you want to pay for the trip CC or Points..
A storm front all along the east coast messed up my itinerary but I still got to where I needed to be within an hour of my planned arrival...
I always start with Expedia to compare rates across several airlines. I like to fly on Southwest, but they don't fly out of Baton Rouge. From my house t takes about 30 minutes longer to reach the New Orleans airport and I will happily drive there to get a direct flight. HATE changing planes!
Speaking of which, I am flying to Dulles on Thursday. Flights suck for the days I need to travel. It never makes sense to me to fly west to catch a flight to go east. Urgh! I will fly back on Monday, then leave the next Thursday for Nashville and fly back the next Monday.
Retirement is about to wear me out!
@eraten: Plus SWA does not charge for luggage. These a la carte fees are exceedingly annoying. I can see the logic for charging for checked luggage (although I don't like it) but one airline we flew last year also charged for carry-on. My friend and I crammed all our travel goods into one max-sized carry-on for boarding and then split is all back up once aboard.
I usually start on the airline site then end up going to orbitz.com and find better times and a cheaper rate. So I buy that.
I use Kayak.com to get an overview of the prices available, then I usually book it through the airline's website once I find a good deal. Kayak's iPhone app is pretty awesome at getting a quick read on flight prices too. I've had issues before when booking through Orbitz solving issues when a flight is cancelled or other trouble comes up. In one case I was told that the airline would have done more to find an alternative flight if it had been booked directly and since then that's the way I book it.

Entry Level Doctor of Audiology Degree Program
Audiology is the science of hearing and the study of auditory vestibular processes. The audiologist is concerned with the development, anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the auditory and vestibular systems, as well as the evaluation, habilitation/rehabilitation, and psychology of hearing and/or balance impairment. In addition, audiologists provide counseling and training in the use of amplification devices and the remediation of hearing and vestibular disorders.
The profession of audiology and its scope of practice have expanded enormously in the past decade. The demand on university and/or college training programs to keep pace with the expanding scope of practice has led the transition of audiology to a doctoring profession. Current master's programs are either closing down or are in the process of converting to residential, post-baccalaureate, four-year doctoral programs. This has created a need for master's level audiologists to further their education by becoming a doctor of audiology.
The Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) entry level program at ASHS is designed to prepare professionals to become skilled in a wide variety of diagnostic, rehabilitative, habilitative, and related areas of the profession and practice of audiology. The Au.D. at ASHS incorporates basic science education with clinical education through a combination of on-campus classes, clinical rotations, and computer-based education. Graduates will be prepared to handle the extensive scope of audiologic care, including the diagnosis and management of auditory and/or vestibular system deficits for all ages, tinnitus management, hearing conservation, and neuro-audiologic examination, as well as the management and business aspects of audiology.
The entry level degree program is a four-year post baccalaureate program that includes three years of didactic and laboratory course work and clinical experiences in addition to a 12-month full-time externship. Graduates of the program will be eligible for state licensure in audiology.

Anyone else have AT&T's U-Verse service?
We have had the service for a few months now and have had nothing but problems. I know quite a few people in our town whom have U-Verse and rave about the service. It's really something that makes watching tv unbearable. The picture just skips and pixelates every few minutes, we can't watch recorded shows because the playback just freezes after 15 seconds and the internet just sucks!
Anyone else have playback issues or just issues with it in general? I switched from another provider due to price and channel options but it's becoming not worth it.
We live in Conn. (where U-Verse is incredibly popular)
11 Answers answer
My brother in Little Rock has it, and every time I visit, it's fine. No problems with the internet or TV.
There are so many things that it could be that I wouldn't even want to guess what's going wrong. Wiring, location, interference...could be anything. I'm guessing you've already had a tech come out and do some troubleshooting, but if you haven't, do.
I have U-Verse too and have not had any problems so far. The tv service and internet both work as expected.
I have it too and it rocks! TV has never gone out. Internet has never been down ever. It's fiber optics so I don't understand how the previous poster can have skips and pixels.
The last two times I had trouble, it was the connections that the installer made. You might want to double check those, sometimes a stupid simple problem like that can do it.
We have been been plagued with equipment failures, DVR, router, modem. On my last go round on the internet problems, they gave us a free upgrade to better service, and finally brought in different equipment. Since then, no problems. Before that, they would try to bill me outrageously for the junk they installed, even though it was breaking every few months. All of the installers have openly admitted, that the modem we used to have was crap. We always managed to get the charges removed, but it annoys me that they were trying to pull that.
But when it is working it is OK for TV, and great for internet. When our contract is up, I won't renew for TV, as I don't like their software, nor pricing, and I am just tired of their duplicity. Plus, streaming choices are improving, so it is just superfluous.
@picky it's funny you mention that. Last time the techs were out here we got a bill for over $500. They said it was because we tampered with the equipment and they had to fix it. :-I
If I tampered with it I would probably be able to fix it. LOL. They refuse to give us new boxes because it can't possibly be the problem. The only thing keeping me from finding a new service or switching back to my old one is the fact they keep offering credits to our account. They haven't given us much, but anything is good, and in the end just means more money for Woot stuff!
I guess this was more of a rant then a question. But I just wanted to know if there were a lot of people having issues. The telephone service is the only thing that isn't bad with U-Verse.
@whatsmypassword: It's not (usually) fiber optic all the way to your house. Depending on how far away your house is from the local unit you may have bandwidth issues that will cause pixellation and other issues.
That said, I had Uverse for 2 years (and still have the internet service) and it was mostly trouble free.
I've had it for about six months, and am very happy with it. I had one night where my picture was pixilated and unviewable on every channel, even after rebooting all the equipment, but I just chalked that up to a problem on their end. It worked fine again the next morning and ever since. I will say, while it's nice having a large HD channel variety, the quality of the HD is obviously compressed and there is some noticeable artifacting, but it's not bad. Overall, I'm quite pleased with the service. So, to the original poster, if you haven't already, definitely call the tech support and see if they can try to fix your problems. You might have a problem with the copper lines between their switch (where the fiber optic cable ends) and your house, or in your house itself, or something set up incorrectly in the connections.
I just got U-verse (just the internet part). It's hooked up to a brand spanking new house we just moved into (we still have contractors call once in a while to tweak something)
AT&T has been trying to get me to go bundled for years, ever since they started rolling out service in my town. I am still resisting the bundles because I do NOT want to go VOIP and the cable TV is in another family members name (if it was just me, I wouldn't have cable at all).
The only issues I have with the service so far is the equipment. They sold me this $100 piece of junk because they said my old DSL router wouldn't do for the fiber service. But I did ask for the "self-install" option so as soon as I got the thing unpacked I plugged in my laptop and turned off all the "junk" the thing offers... all I want it to do is bridge my network onto the internet. I already have my own locked-down-secure router and wireless and don't want to go through the hassle of doing it all again.
I have surewest fiber service, and they use the same box, remote, and gui. I love it, have very few problems, and would recommend it. (talkin bout tv service here...) for internet, it's straight fiber to the home... no need for a modem or router.
I have it. It wasn't my choice, but all I had where I'm currently living is U-Verse and a really really crappy reseller of DirectTV service. So, I have U-Verse. The positive of the service is the very wide range of HD channels. They have everything (more or less). The down side is that the quality of the HD isn't the best. The channels are quite compressed, so the general picture quality isn't as good as cable or many of the satellite channels.
@wilfbrim: That was my experience as well. I was disappointed in the quality of the HD channels. I cut the TV service and switched to an antenna and the increae in HD quality is pretty incredible.

2010 Mopar Nationals Young GunsWritten on August 20, 2010 The Young Guns turned out in force for this year's Nats
Another year is in the books for the Mopar Nationals. This year marked the 30th anniversary of this excellent event. It was hot. Well that's actually an understatement because it was excruciating! Thankfully, I'm born and raised in Tampa, Florida, which is known for some of the most humid weather. It's just depressing to fly over 1,000 miles north and have to deal with the same terrible heat...oh well.
This year we were pleased to find some of the nicest cars to ever enter into our Young Guns category of the show. Here are some of the entries this year:
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Here is Fernando Rosado with his Go-Mango '70 Challenger R/T SE. Fernando was this year's winner and received a trophy at the awards ceremony on Sunday.
Gregg Orr may look familiar if you read our February 2010 issue of Mopar Muscle when we featured him and his sister, Gayle, as two Young Guns who did it right.Gregg decided to go out with a bang and made his car look even better than it did when we featured it. Not to mention the fact he installed the original wheels for a look that drips classic style.The modest 318 under the hood was rebuilt and bored .030 over and a set of Flowmaster mufflers were thrown on.Cohen Marschall owns this truly unique '49 Plymouth. It's not common to see these anymore and it simple looks sinister!
OK, so that's not stock. It's a 400-cube small block with a few go-fast parts to make the classic Plymouth one helluva ride.Cohen plans to paint the Plymouth soon but, thankfully, he's not going with a full gloss black. I personally love the flat black look with red wheels.Jason L. Carrey stands proudly next to his '68 Super Bee, as he should. Jason built this car from the ground up and practiced his future profession as a mechanic. He tore it apart and installed all new fenders and ended up with this excellent Bee.A small block 318 with 904 transmission and dual Flowmaster exhaust hauls Morgan and his friends around town.
Road Runners have that road-hugging style that makes them so appealing. Brent Hoffman certainly was attracted to the killer looks of his black '70.It's an original 360 four-speed car that Rodney brought back to life to bring to car shows and drive on the street.

Release Date Estimate Request
In order to plan most of us need to know when 4.1 is going to be released. 4.0 is not usable because of the performance problems. This is not breaking news, nor is it a criticism. We all know this is a hard release to get out, and we all know the pressure is on. Anyone who is seasoned has been through this and can relate. We feel your pain and know you guys are working your asses off doing a tremendous job!
A lot of us worked very hard upgrading from 3.0 to 4.0 because we believe in the features, and the new architecture, however, a lot of us are on hold for the moment as well as our customers. It's probably a management decision not to post a 4.1 release date—we all have to deal with management decisions—but not posting an estimated date I believe could ultimately hurt your relationship with customers. Offering more transparency would go a long way to helping us cope. The vast majority of us are reasonable and can take bad news (and dish it out to our bosses/customers when we fall behind).
Please? Even if it's just a guess, plus or minus a few weeks, or even a, "Not before ..." or "No later than...".
Thanks guys, keep up the awesomeness!!!

Or at least have a more frequently release cycle. That give us an idea of the development state.
4.1-PR1 was released 3 weeks ago, and I'm sure many of us want to have fresh news.Ext is terrific!!

Some info on 4.1.0 in SVN....
Historically, we have tried to only allow the version that is beta. So when 4.1.0 beta comes out, it should make it's way to SVN. I'm sure you know that this is the bleeding edge code that is in SVN so it may be a bumpy road is some cases. Personally, I update my local git repo couple times a day and I have no problems I couldn't easily correct.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

To the editor:
The House has made several attempts to stop the government shutdown.
Each time Senator Reid has killed it when the bill reached the Senate.
The majority of Americans do not want Obamacare. They recognize that it is bad for business, bad for families and bad for the workers, yet Harry Reid and President Obama will not negotiate with the House. Why?
Well, I believe it is due to pride on their part. They see any compromise on Obamacare, which was crafted in the back room by Pelosi, Reid and President Obama, as a defeat, but is it? The President promised free healthcare, which is not true, he promised we could keep our own doctor, not true. Why not have a one year delay with both parties working together to fix the parts that are broken. Act like adults, do the right thing, compromise, fix what won't work and put the people back to work!

That rule is so outdated, it does nothing but hurt MPS. People have been demanding that rule get thrown out for years. Many good teachers have had to leave the district because they didn't want to live in Milwaukee. MPS is killing itself with all these rules like this. Time to scrap it and start over, or at least scrap this outdated and harmful rule.Hide replies
The rule is not outdated. It is needed now more than ever!
It's not that people don't like Milwaukee and leave, but rather they have kids of their own and realize from first-hand knowledge that they wouldn't want their own kids attending school in MPS. Can't say that I blame them.
Why not have a middle ground where the residency law is lifted and teachers are given an incentive to live within the district? (tax break, added salary, etc)
By forcing a teacher (or any other city employee for that matter) to live in Milwaukee, you are also dictating the lives of their spouse and children.Hide replies
You expect that in this political climate that the legislature will pass a tax break for unionized employees? really?
We'll see how much the teachers love this when it comes time to sell their homes. Good luck.
What possible difference could this issue make to Alberta Darling? She clearly is taking her marching orders again from some other source, not the people of her district. And why in the world would someone who supports smaller government and lack of government intervention think that this issue needs to be settled at the state level?Hide replies
You took my post right out of my keybourd
Easy money for Darling. This will all be painted with an anti union brush before long. Darling is a smart politician playing to her base. Regardless, still none of her or her constituents business.
Let the conspiracy theories begin. Milwaukee is Wisconsin's largest and most important city. When it fails it has a ripple effect on a lot of other communities. Clearly Milwaukee is failing right now and clearly Milwaukee's elected officials are clueless as to how to turn it around. Allowing the city to recruit better teachers, police officers and other employees will not in and of itself solve the problem but you can't turn this thing around in a day. In the long run it will be beneficial to MPS, just like it will be beneficial to MPD and MFD. Right now the city doesn't hire the best candidates. It hires the best candidates who are willing to live in the city. There is a big difference.
I'm not sure multi-gazillionaire, suburb loving Alberta Darling is the go-to-gal to make Milwaukee better. Eliminating residency is one of Scott Walker's ways of sticking it to Tom Barrett, and Alberta is just Scooter's trained chimp.
Kinda ironic...not many teachers could afford to live in her district.
I own a home in her district and my salary is considerably less than the average teachers pay in my school district.
Resindency is one of the only tools that Milwaukee has to help keep the tax base stable. What could potentially work is that teachers need to live in Milwaukee for the first 10 years of their career, but then are able to live outside of the City. If we are lucky, these teachers will have made great friends and connections in their community and will opt to stay in their homes.Hide replies
Exactly, the only reason for residency is to keep working people in the city. If residency were lifted in several years you would have the upper class (mainly east side) and lower class. What does that say about the city's attractiveness. For working people with children the disadvantages clearly outweigh the advantages.
Whatever the reasons are, isn't their prerogative just as it is for a private company to have requirements of employment. No one makes anyone accept that job. Nor are they force to stay there if they want to get out from underneath such a job restriction.
sorry it should say "isn't it their prerogative..."
Agreed it is very outdated. And honestly its an insult to the teachers that if you live even 3 blocks outside the city limits you can't keep your job. Start with the teachers and then let it spread to all city employees.
I certainly support some type of reasonable residency area if Milwaukee just won't completely give in. Almost every other municipality in the area has like a 15-20 mile radius of the city that employees are allowed to live within. I am not sure if that is limited to public safety jobs or all city positions.Hide replies
The choice for the teacher is to choose a job in "Almost every other municipality" rather than Milwaukee.
Should I give a Republican response? "no one is forcing you to teach in Milwaukee".
Residency may be outdated. What is it when a person accepts a job that has that restriction but then cries "unfair, unfair". I guess that attitude is timeless.
Darling needs to CREATE JOBS and stay out of LOCAL ISSUES ! Where the JOBS you and WALKER promised???Hide replies
Stay out of local issues! Unless it involves the state overriding a binding city referendum. Then by all means, involve yourself.
This attitude is so funny. Do people not realize how often the state passes legislation that effects only Milwaukee? And do people not realize how much the city supports said legislation when they find it beneficial?
What amazes me is the call from boarder Suburbs for the lifting of the Residency Rule. Leah Vuclmer (not sure about spelling) has been calling for this for some time. Maybe Leah should venture 8 or 10 blocks east and see what awaits her once the residency is lifted. Go to 48th & Lloyd. Flat out Ghetto. Only 10 blocks from Tosa. What will happen to her buffer zone once the city employees/teachers leave. I'll tell you the ghetto will march into Tosa. There is only dense blocks which separate Tosa and Milwaukee. Once the green plywood goes up across the street, how long before the middle class Tosa residents leave and the transit new residents arrive. I give it 5 years. She is crazy.Hide replies
Racist much?
I have friends who live near 48th and Lloyd. It's a pretty nice neighborhood.
Leah Vukmir represented parts of the city of Milwaukee when this bill was originally proposed. Her own constituents were effected by this. Do a little research before you go on your little ignorant rants.
westp - ignorant claim. Now look at the income of those she claimed she represented (But really didn't as she turned her back on them in the Tosa Library) - they are the very city dwellers who are most opposed to this legislation as they have the most to lose.
Darling is entirely the wrong sort of lawmaker to envision the balance and fairly represent the people's view on this issue. She doesn't represent the MPS parents or teachers struggling with social issues. When was the last time you saw Darling holding a black child's hand to cross the street, visit in an MPS classroom or read to inner city youth?
She represents the Republican party and is only interested in frame working a run for 2016 for the white house.
There are many reasonable and positive avenues for the residency rule updating. Other than blame Democrats its highly unlikely Darling could come up with those answers. This will be something else the court has to fix after Clementine the cheater gets done writing a law she copied off some blog.Hide replies
There are no legitimate reasons for a residency rule. Not one. You see that in the comments here.
Fine, west, then let others take on the issue. She's the wrong person for it. What exactly is her motivation? Show us how she cares about the kids or the teachers?
Why does it matter who proposes it? If it is a good idea then so be it and vice versa. What she can't possibly care about kids because she lives in River Hills?? - that is just ignorant and stupidity on your part.
It is incorrect to say MPS is forcing anyone to live anywhere. If you want to live outside of the city, then you don't want to be and MPS teacher. It is that individual's choice. If the citizens of a community want those responsible for educating the children or maintaining public order or protecting its property to come from within that same community, that is the community's right. It should be a local decision. If people don't like it, don't take one of those jobs.Hide replies
HAHAHA. The guy whose name is "freedom" supports forced residency. How ironic.
Hahaha! How is it forced again? An adult with free will took the job knowing that requirement of employment right? If a person doesn't like it they don't take the job. What if this was Kohler or Harley. They say you can have the job but you have to move to India. Would it be forced in that situation?
It's not forced residency, you can leave and find another job.
@Freedom...If you were hiring for a job in MPS and you were down to 2 candidates...one who was a clear better choice wouldnt you hire the best candidate for the job? Point being that MPS is passing up great candidates by only offerering Milw residents...makes no sense

Eric Holder
A New Direction
United States Attorney General Eric Holder '76 is addressing the challenges that go hand-in-hand with being the nation's most powerful law enforcement officer.
Sitting at the head of the table in an ornate conference room, with a portrait of Robert F. Kennedy hanging above him, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. '76 says he's ready to steer the Justice Department in a new direction.
Since taking office in February, he has confronted some of the most challenging problems in government—everything from how to close the military prison at Guantanamo Bay and disperse hundreds of detained terrorism suspects to policing financial malfeasance on Wall Street. Those weighty tasks, and many others, must be accomplished during a time of shrinking federal budgets, and as morale at the department remains uncertain after political hiring scandals that occurred under Holder's predecessors.
"Nothing's intractable," Holder says. "This is a department that's literally filled with people like me who work here because they want to, not because they have to. There are not any problems this department can't solve. I wouldn't have taken the job if I didn't believe that to my core."
Holder long has displayed cool amid the chaos that surrounds him, dating to his years at Columbia Law School. He says living a short walk from Harlem's poverty and dysfunction of the early 1970s prompted him to become a public corruption prosecutor. "You especially couldn't be a black student at Columbia in Morningside Heights and not be involved in a community that was so close," Holder recalls.
Leading 110,000 people as the country's chief law enforcement officer is a crowning step in Holder's storied career. He served as a local judge in D.C., as that city's top prosecutor, and as deputy attorney general under President Bill Clinton before charting a successful private practice at Covington & Burling.
In a single afternoon, Holder's new role takes him from the department's super-secret command center, where he reviews classified intelligence about security threats, to a high-level meeting on combating mortgage fraud. While also working on many civil rights and environmental issues, he remains diligent in protecting the country against terrorism. "The primary responsibility for any attorney general is to keep the American people safe," he says. "I've got to do so in a way that's consistent with our values and the law."
All this for a man who, until college, dreamed of being an NBA guard rather than a lawyer guarding the country's security. Basketball remains a hot topic of conversation between the Stuyvesant High School sharpshooter Holder and his boss, President Obama. But the attorney general resists talking trash about who would have won a hypothetical matchup of their high school teams.
"The '68-'69 Stuyvesant squad may have been the only team in New York at the time that would've had trouble beating a team from Hawaii," Holder admits. "Stuy was a specialized high school. We had kids who had much higher IQs than scoring averages."

I wish there were more deals for 60" LCD TVs. I've been in the market for one for a while now, and haven't quite found the right deal. $1500 is close, but still a bit more than I was hoping to snag one for....especially refurbished.
I agree. Where are the deals on 55"+ televisions?
I would so buy one in a heartbeat if there were a halfway decent deal. I've been scouring the market for one every single day for months!
Again though, this is a little much for a refurbished unit.

10 Ways to Burn More Calories Just By Sitting
Who needs the gym when you can do these sneaky moves and lose weight with almost no effort?
Potassium is also helpful for hydration, since it brings water into the cells, says Koff. Eating potassium-rich foods like avocado and banana, and drinking coconut water, can help your body stay hydrated, too.
So how much water does the trick? Kennedy says to drink until you're urinating once an hour, and after that's met, you can enjoy herbal or non-caffeinated teas and fresh juices when you're thirsty. Ross says to drink half your body weight in ounces each day (so if you're 150 pounds, drink 75 ounces of water), and to check the color of your urine as a fail-safe test to see if you're getting enough -- a clear or very pale yellow is ideal.

AC in group isomorphism between R and R^2
Somewhere, I recall being told that there is an isomorphism between $\mathbb{R}$ and $\mathbb{C}$ under addition. However, despite a rather lengthy search, I have been unable to find anything to support this fact, although Paul Yale of Pomona College, in his paper, "Automorphisms of the Complex Numbers," showed that there are "wild" automorphisms of $\mathbb{C}$ that require the axiom of choice to construct. Given that rather surprising fact, it does not seem too unlikely that there could be an isomorphism between $\mathbb{R}$ and $\mathbb{C}$. So, the question is: Is it possible for there to be an isomorphism between $\mathbb{R}$ and $\mathbb{C}$, and if so, what is is?
