5 Ways Science Could Make Us Immortal
#2. Cloned Parts (or a Whole New Body)
While no one reliable has ever cloned (or claimed to clone) a human, it is scientifically plausible, and as a result, it has been suggested as a means to allow humans to sustain their lives beyond their normal mortal sell-by date.
The rest of us would rather be like Spam.
There are two ideas at work here. The first is the prospect of manufacturing new, healthy, completely "you" organs to replace the crappy old parts you were born with, or even that next-generation organ you put in 30 years ago, whenever they start to get old. Obviously, most people die because a specific organ fails (for Americans, the heart is the most common culprit). So being able to replace parts like you would swap out transmissions on a car could extend life indefinitely, even if nothing else on this list comes to fruition. And organ-farming is the less morally ambiguous cloning method, since it simply requires cloning individual body parts.
The other method can pretty much count on the government giving us a response of "Umm, no ..." (in fact, it already has), because it would use a fully grown cloned body as the receptacle for the brain of an aging person so that person could effectively go from 70 to 20 with a single operation. As you might imagine, this has led to a certain level of squeamishness, since it would mean either effectively killing a cloned person for his body or raising a fully functioning body that was brain-dead from birth.
The end result of this is better fast food.
All of this means that while it is certainly plausible, it is unlikely in the Western world. In the Eastern world, however, it may become a reality. Singapore and China seem to be less worried about the problems with human cloning, and are already working toward therapeutic human cloning (the first one).
Interestingly, the possibility of using cloned bodies for immortality isn't particularly new; they even made a shitty movie about it back in 1979.
'79. The year that gave us bioethics and Alien.
#1. Cybernetic Immortality
If we have learned anything from movies, and we have learned so much, then it's safe to say that of all the possible methods for achieving immortality, this is the most awesome. Scientists call this the RoboCop approach. Or at least they should.
Homo sapiens are tool users: that, maybe more than anything, has defined the advancement of our species. So even if we never crack the genetic aging code or perfect the method of growing replacement livers, we can turn to our ability to build awesome mechanical tools for immortality. It's what we do.
And we're already on our way -- with artificial hearts, replacement limbs and artificial nerves, we are already rebuilding humans, albeit piecemeal, into cyborgs. Put a stethoscope over the chest of former Vice President Dick Cheney and you'll hear nothing -- instead of a heart, he has a machine that pumps blood. If we can replace one part, we can replace another.
You heard it here, folks. Dick Cheney has a robot heart.
Many of the limitations of these technologies -- weight and durability of the materials and energy efficiency -- will go away with advances in technologies such as carbon nanotubes and metamaterials. Just as we built cars that can transport us faster than our legs, we will have replacement body parts that not only outperform our crappy natural organs but will be nigh invulnerable as well.
Fortunately, prosthetics don't have the same moral complications as cloning a human body or mind uploading ("So, will my soul be uploaded as well?"). The cultural acceptance of this technique will happen one limb at a time. Nobody would start hating Bill Murray if he got an artificial hip. And even if they had to keep going until they replaced his legs and arms and all his internal organs, we'd still hug him if we saw him on the street. Knowing that he now possesses the Terminator-style strength to crush our bones would actually make it better.
What if Jeff Goldblum had laser-eyes?
The downside of this one is that even after you replace the body parts, the brain is still the same age, so you're leaving it to a separate area of science to prevent Alzheimer's and the general degradation of the brain that awaits us all in old age. A gun-toting cyber-badass is a lot less badass when it forgets its own name and leaves its blinker on for miles at a time. If you're wondering why then we put this at #1, it's because the continuing mortality of your frail human brain goes down a lot easier when you can, at any moment, replace your left arm with a flamethrower.

Simpler times, when our balls were kept under control.
Simpler times, when our balls were kept under control.
I think every one I knew as a kid had those, and I never once saw them get used.
If you were a real badass, you used them as shields in NERF battles.
Right? It's like they were just always there. And you know they had already been there a while because the velcro had accumulated fabric and dust and pet hair and wouldn't prove useful if you tried. They did feel strangely uncomfortable, yet comfortable, to put on your hand, though.
Also, man, what a racket. Take a plastic square, put velcro on it, serve with a poorly made tennis ball. How much must those have cost to make? $0.1 each? Make some cheddar.
I kind of want my name to be Axe Bloodyspray now.
Looks too much like Axe Bodyspray.
I didn't catch it until Chang pointed it out, now I think it's awesome.
GTF off me bro!
Also Spiderman in the making.
Did he consume her so he could reach his final form?
I wish I knew what that was from. Found it on /wsg/.
But nah, that looks more like a kidnapping to me.
I tried searching the googles but there are a fuck load of reposts of it all over the internet.
I wanna say it's from M.A.S.K. but I don't know for sure.
I think I still have some M.A.S.K. toys tucked away back at my mother's house. I never watched the cartoon much but those toys were so fucking cool.
I had all of them. They and Transformers would regularly battle for control of my bedroom floor.
I really regret not being six.
My favorite was the helicopter which turned into a plane. They actually use those now! VTOLs are awesome.

Similar to this:
That is a font, there is probably no drop-shadow involved. These are typically called woodcut fonts and many have the word "wood" in their font names ("Cottonwood" etc. but this is really just an author preference). Another possibility is "arabesque".
If you want to know how they got the lace effect, they probably made a layer with lace, created a white layer on top of that, and then applied the type to a layer mask so that the black portions of the text knocked out the white layer allowing the lace layer to show through.
Typeface: Rosewood. 3 masks: the outer silhouette, the black portions of the type, and the inner white portions of the type.
White masked portion receives a gradient, blue to white, and a lace overlay in pink. Black masked portion receives a solid blue, and a lace overlay in pink. additional black portion mask with a 2px stroke on top of all. Sillhouette mask to knock out to white.
Even if font is "flat" by itself, you can easily add "extrusion" effect with blend tool in any vector graphics editor. As for overlayed pattern, there's a plethora of ways to do it.
You can create this font by your self but it will take a good amount of time and you have to have good knowledge of patterns, shadow Photoshop etc.
I would suggest if the motto is to get this font only you can get this here its rosewood font and if you want to know how to get this effect please see horito's share....

In today's episode of Speak Up on Kotaku, commenter Aikage laments the general lack of pre-rendered cutscenes in today's video games, a feature many were glad to see die out. Which side of the gorgeous CGI fence do you fall on?
Maybe I've been playing the wrong games, but I miss the pre-rendered / anime cutscene.
I know I'm in the minority here since all I see are people complaining that Metal Gear Solid 4 was a movie with a couple of interspersed action sequences, but I remember when I played Final Fantasy VII part of the joy was getting to the next cutscene.
American role-playing games don't do pre-rendered cutscene. Bethesda specifically has a clause that Jorundr will come to your house and be ugly towards you if you even think about a cutscene in their contract. BioWare thinks their graphics are good enough that they don't have to pre-render anything and they'd sort of be right, but, there's just something. Something about getting to a scene and just sitting back and being blown away by the visuals. It's a reward, one of the few that I feel are missing from American RPGs...even The Witcher (ed: a Polish RPG) had that badass opening scene.

Snow Queen Pas de DeuxOrigin and accuracy of the choreography.

Any info will be very appreciated.

Actually, the Snow pas de deux dates back to the Pavlova Touring Company's repertoire from the nineteen-teens. The choreography was, I believe, the product of Ivan Clustine, who also partnered Pavlova. It was a "number" that would include grand music for an adagio, and then be joined by a corps de ballet for the Waltz of the Snowflakes. It was kept in productions of Nutcracker partly in tribute to Pavlova, and partly to avoid the expensive and complex transformation which is supposed to go with that music.
Thanks for your clarification, Mel. I have great memories of this beautiful piece of choreography, and would love to see it again-(it won't be here in Miami, as MCB has Balanchine's version).
Is there any DVD that contains this Pas...?

If I recall correctly, it's in the San Francisco Ballet's old William Christiansen staging, which followed the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo version, and also the National Ballet of Canada's old version in a rather different version as staged by Celia Franca. The London Festival Ballet (now English National Ballet) had a version staged by Alicia Markova, whose earliest career was built on copying Pavlova. I don't think that any of these is commercially available.
What about the Snow PDD from the Nutcracker on the Dambois DVD with Melissa Hayden? Is this the same piece?

It's a fascinating topic, which brought some questions to mind ----
Given the proliferation of videos on YouTube, have any examples of this version been posted there in the last few years?
Does BNdeC still perform this Alonso version?
Is it a good idea, or a kind of over-kill, to have a formal pdd at this point in the story and music? My own hunch is that it would slow the action and detract from the subsequent Sugar Plum Fairy pdd.

I couldn't resist bumping up this 3-year-old thread, especially since we now have a new subforum devoted to Nutcracker. It's a fascinating topic, which brought some questions to mind. Does BNdeC still perform this Alonso version? .
Definitely. Mme always said that the three things she had reproduced with no changes from Fedorova's take during her BT/BRM years had been the Snow Queen PDD, the SPF PDD and the Three Ivans/Trepak.
Is it a good idea, or a kind of over-kill, to have a formal pdd at this point in the story and music? My own hunch is that it would slow the action and detract from the subsequent Sugar Plum Fairy pdd.
I strongly believes that it works but then remember that I-(as probably the majority of Cubans who grew up with Fedorova's)-am used to see this ballet in the same level as the other T/P's. Having a "formal" PDD in both acts with two Primeras Bailarinas-(plus Clara, another dancing character usually done by a First Soloist or a Principal)-definitely helps a lot to conform to this notion, plus having that old dilemma of "having to wait to the second act to see some classical dancing" resolved. Actually, the Snow Queen/Sugar Plum Fairy/Clara affair became the reason for which I saw so many times this ballet..who will dance what...? who will be better..? who will outshine who...? This is an old, well thought formula that ALWAYS works, as it does with Giselle/Myrtha or Aurora/Lilac.
In general, I HATE to get bored at the ballet, and this character's inclusion in the Cuban version definitely makes for an exciting Act I...and for a more motivated Fairy in Act II...I think...
Given the proliferation of videos on YouTube, have any examples of this version been posted there in the last few years?
No by Alonso's company, but there are clips by SFB and some other troups. I found some of pics of the Cuban version though...

Michigan State University College of Law will continue to welcome applications for a seat in our Fall 2013 incoming class through Tuesday, April 30, 2013.
According to Charles Roboski, assistant dean of admissions and financial aid, prospective applicants are best served by applying at the earliest possible date prior to the April 30 deadline. Under the Law College's rolling admission process, applications are reviewed in the order in which they are complete (including all supporting documents). A decision typically is made within three weeks once the Office of Admissions receives all required materials.
MSU Law's Admissions Committee for this year's incoming class is composed of six faculty members and the Student Bar Association vice president. The admissions process is designed to identify individuals who have the potential to excel in law school and the practice of law. The committee considers many variables in addition to applicants' academic record and Law School Admission Test scores, and seeks to enroll students who bring diverse personal and professional experiences and perspectives to the classroom.
The chair of this year's Admissions Committee is Glen Staszewski, associate dean for research, professor of law, and the A.J. Thomas Faculty Scholar. Dean Staszewski takes pride in the attention given to the application review process and encourages prospective applicants to invest sufficient time to write a compelling personal statement.
"The personal statement is a critical part of the overall review process," Staszewski notes. "It gives us an opportunity to develop a fuller understanding of the candidate's abilities, interests, and professional goals."
Dean Roboski anticipates that the class profile for the Fall 2013 entering class will be similar to recent entering classes, with students enrolling from as many as 30 states and more than 100 undergraduate colleges and universities. This year's incoming class is targeted at 280 students, a planned decrease from the 298 students who enrolled at the Law College in August 2012.
Prospective applicants who have questions about the admissions process, standards, or application review process may request a 20-minute phone or in-person consultation with an Office of Admissions staff member. To learn more about the MSU Law admissions process and upcoming events for prospective students, visit www.law.msu.edu/admissions.

I was storing my windshields from cars with other my bricks. Now they are scratched, nearly not transparent just translucent. Is there a way to sanitize transparent parts from scratches?
We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer; explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations. Answers that don't include explanations may be removed.
Haven't tried this with Lego, but here are the first two things that come to mind.
Novus plastic cleaners (they make 3 solutions for various scratch depths, with Lego I would probably buy the one for the finest scratches) work well on my pinball machine plastics.
About the transparency, I would try the standard headlight cleaning solutions for a car.
You've got three different approaches: 1) products that fill the scratch, 2) products that essentially dissolve the plastic material so that it re-hardens smooth, 3) products that help you polish the scratch away.

I was hoping someone could explain the levels Ingress uses. For example, do L2 XMP bursters only take out L2 resonators, or can they take out L1 resonators as well?
Each level of XMP make the weapon more powerfull.
Each level of Resonator make it more resistant (and increase range of potental links).
Here you can find a table with the power of each level of XMP Burster (source) :
EDIT: Since 18 January 2013 there are some new range values :
Or a nice image (Outdated for the moment) :
Here is a summary of the different levels :
To supplement @Cedric's answer, the decay rate is not known at present but is clearly not linear. Anecdotal evidence suggests a major difference between standing within a meter of a resonator vs 5m away and only a minor difference between 10m and 15m away. There's a reddit thread with discussions and a much more plausible graph of damage from WolframAlpha. It's not clear how they obtained this information or how precise it is but it corresponds much more closely with my experience playing the game than the linear assumption.
This shows two hypothetical curves for an L8 burster only, with the old range. The numbers may not be precise but the steep power law/exponential shape seems plausible for all levels.
From a physical point of view, conservation of energy would indicate a dropoff ~ r^(-3) because it is a 3 dimensional phenomenon (even if its effects are only registered in two dimensions). A frictional term would add something like e^(-r/r_o) which would generate something more like the attached graph. Though the game's logic is in flux, I think they will likely keep with the pseudo-physical interpretation because it will tend to "feel more natural" than a linear response.

So I know that for an electromagnetic field in a vacuum the Lagrangian is $\mathcal L=-\frac 1 4 F^{\mu\nu} F_{\mu\nu}$, the standard model tells me this. What I want to know is if there is an elementary argument (based on symmetry perhaps) as to why it has this form. I have done some searching/reading on this, but have only ever found authors jumping straight to the expression and sometimes saying something to the effect that it is the "simplest possible".
Thanks for the great answers, I accepted the one that was exactly what I was looking for, but the other two long ones were equally interesting and useful.

Most of us have become completely numb to the weirdness of video games. From the 1970s on, it's been like "So he's a yellow circle being chased by ghosts while he eats? Seems pretty straightforward." Yet there has always been an underground video game scene where the truly messed-up stuff lives. You'll find it in Japan.
That's where they have games like ...
#6. Takeshi's Challenge: The Game That Hates You
Via Wikipedia
In 1986, the company that created Space Invaders teamed up with Japanese actor, director, comedian, poet and badass "Beat" Takeshi Kitano to create a game for the Nintendo Famicom based on his ideas. The only problem? Kitano hated video games, and apparently decided to use this opportunity to make sure everyone else did, too. Oh, and reportedly he was drunk during the single meeting where they came up with the game, so there's that.
If you ever select the second option, Kitano flips you off and the cartridge wipes itself.
Takeshi's Challenge takes place in a city where everyone hates you, but that's OK, because you hate them, too: The game gives you the ability to repeatedly punch everyone you come across into a bloody pulp, from defenseless women and old men to violent cops and yakuza. You even have the option to punch the password menu, which results in a "game over" screen before you even start the game.
The only way to make progress in Takeshi's Challenge is by quitting your job, divorcing your wife and getting drunk until you pass out, but they never give you any indication that this is your mission -- the game assumes that these are the things you'd normally do anyway. Once you've done all that, you get to the karaoke section, where you literally have to sing into the built-in microphone in the Famicom's second controller until your audience gives you three consecutive "greats," which can take over half an hour. Or, you can say "fuck that" and go spend your money on something else.
Judging from all the punching options, we're suggesting a good psychiatrist and a lawyer or two.
Anyway, once you've passed the karaoke challenge, everyone in the bar will start punching you. If you survive the beating (that is, kill everyone), an old man will hand you a blank piece of paper that needs to be exposed to sunlight for an hour if you want a map to appear. And then you have to do exactly that: choose the "expose to sunlight" option and wait exactly one hour without touching the controller. If you so much as press a button during that hour, you have to do the karaoke challenge again.
A testament to how much the game hates you: It's pretty much the only thing in the game you can't punch.
The map, it turns out, shows directions to a treasure island in the Pacific, so naturally you have to take hang gliding lessons and fly there yourself while UFOs shoot at you. Assuming you can master the sadistic hand gliding controls (it's extremely easy to crash into the ocean), reach the island, find the treasure and complete the game, you will be rewarded by ... a black screen with Kitano's face and the words "The end."
We take it back -- this may be the greatest thing in the history of video games.
That's it. However, if you wait five minutes on that screen, you unlock a special secret message from Takeshi Kitano himself:
An ending like that would have made Final Fantasy XIII worth playing.
That's from a fan translation of the game, by the way (it never made it to the U.S. for some reason), but yes, it's accurate.
#5. LSD: Dream Emulator
Via Vgboxart.com
LSD: Dream Emulator is a 1998 Japan-only PlayStation game that simulates what it's like to be in a dream ... if you're in the habit of eating spicy food and watching Twin Peaks before bed every night, that is. Otherwise, how do you explain this shit:
Did we say spicy food? We meant mescaline.
Oh, now there's something totally normal. The fingerprint face sideways vagina man dream.
The game is based on a dream journal kept for over 10 years by the member of the developing team we are most afraid to meet. It consists of a massive open world like Grand Theft Auto, if GTA were filled with inexplicable things rendered in Mario 64-type graphics. There is no dialogue whatsoever -- the only actions you can perform are walking, looking and shitting your pants in terror.
"Probably shouldn't have chased that mescaline with opium."
Every time you start the game, you appear in a different location. These locations range from bright-colored psychedelic places filled with bizarre objects and characters:
If you have a religious debate here, it undoes creation.
To dark, mostly abandoned landscapes:
Bumping into anything or anyone will cause the screen to fade and teleport you to another random place. After a while, you might start seeing the same places again, so the game keeps it interesting by doing things like replacing doors with women's faces or filling the walls with eyes that slowly follow you as you walk past.
Each dream lasts 10 minutes, at which point you're sent back to the main menu and given the option to start another one. However, there are also more abrupt ways to "wake up," like falling off a cliff, coming across certain objects ... or running into the Grey Man, a faceless gentleman in a black raincoat who can show up anywhere in the dream world and is the only one who can kill you.
In real life, we mean.
The only objective here is to explore this dream world until you either get bored or your actual dreams turn as terrifying as the game, at which point it becomes redundant (once you've been Incepted, it has fulfilled its purpose). Also, apparently the LSD in the title stands for "Lovely Sweet Dream," but you already knew that.
What else could it possibly stand for?
#4. Mister Mosquito
Via Wikipedia
Mister Mosquito was the first game in what the gaming industry probably hoped would be the brand new genre of mosquito simulators, but for some reason it didn't really catch on. As the eponymous Mister Mosquito, you fly around a typical Japanese family's house biting people, sucking their blood and generally annoying the shit out of everyone while trying to avoid getting squashed or sprayed.
The 1890s prequel to this game had a higher body count than every GTA combined.
Your mission in Mister Mosquito is to fill and hide little tanks of your victims' blood throughout the house, like an insect version of Dexter or something. The idea, essentially, is to help the mosquito store blood to survive the winter while being as much of a dick to the humans as possible. The game was released for PlayStation 2 in 2001, but it didn't do very well in any market ... except Japan, where it was actually a huge hit, for some reason.
Ah, we understand, now. Sucking the blood of a sleeping teenage girl. Gotcha.
Oh, right: It's also a pervert simulator. The family consists of a mother, a father and the obligatory attractive teenage daughter, who you can follow around and watch as she sleeps, exercises or takes a bath. All of this without her knowledge, of course, because if you're caught trying to bite her, you'll be killed.
And if you're caught playing this game, your name will be put into a government database.
Assuming you decide to actually play the game instead of just using it to stalk the daughter from afar, there's also a "Battle Mode" that you go into when the humans catch you flying around, where "To calm them, the player must hit a number of pressure points, relieving them of tension" (because obviously, we all know how relaxing being pestered by a mosquito can be).
And finally, if you complete all the levels, you're treated to a special cut scene where the humans are taking a family photo, despite having their faces covered in horrible mosquito bites. The photo is then further ruined by the unusually large mosquito photobombing them (because, again, you're a dick).
But it's mostly about the creepy voyeurism.

A followup to the various answers provided to this question:
The specific concept of 'trinity' isn't specifically spelled out in the Bible. Instead, we have deduced from various scripture verses that there are three distinct persons contained within the Godhead.
What is the Biblical evidence, if any, that there are only three persons in the Godhead? Perhaps there are others that are not revealed specifically through scripture, or perhaps we attribute multiple "persons" to a single concept of Father or Holy Spirit?

BRYAN (December 15, 2012)--A 20-year-old man is alive, thanks to some quick thinking travelers Friday night on Highway 6 in Bryan.
Six people jumped into a drainage creek in Bryan after a collision on the highway left the man trapped underwater inside his upside down Jeep.
The Jeep ended up in the ditch after it rear-ended a pickup whose driver had slowed for traffic on the highway, rolled down an embankment and landed upside down in the ditch, police said.
"I noticed there was lights in the water. We stopped and him and I just jumped out of the truck and both ran over here," said Brian Curry of College Station.
Curry just graduated from A&M and received a commission in the Navy.
He and his friend Mario Pineda jumped into the cold water to rescue the man had been in the water for several minutes and was unconscious.
Several other drivers and a police officer helped roll the Jeep upright and rescue the man, who was still strapped inside.
"(We) cut the seatbelt (and) pulled him out. We brought him up to the concrete slab. He was breathing on his way to the hospital," said Pineda of Winchester, Calif.
Braneysha Moore and Casey Albright saw all the rescuers run out of their cars as they left work at Wells Fargo.
"We're just praying for the victims and we hope that everything is all right," said Moore.
Police say the driver of the pickup that was rear-ended even jumped into the water to help.
The name of the rescued man wasn't immediately released.
"He's very lucky and we have some great volunteers and witnesses. This doesn't happen all the time," said Sgt. Brett Boswell of the Bryan Police Department.

Has anyone on here used one of those pet safe heating pad things? i just saw it on that site and thought it would be an amazing idea ..but they seem expensive...
Oliver and Max and Meeko man, i will meet you at the Rainbow bridge. I love you all. Miss you more then you'll ever know.
wait for me...
SP - the vet clinic I worked at used those. I also know several people who have used them for guinea pigs. If your pet needs to be warmed, give it a try. I don't own a microwave so I bought a self-heating mat for my kitties for $13. It works well - I acidentally sat on it and was wondering why my butt was so warm

I think that Brian Johnson is soooo cute. Others don't think so, but I do. Besides, I also did this to get out of doing a Pokemon tutorial. So anyways, I hope you like AC/DC ya people, or your gonna be on a Highway to Hell.

I'm managing the design and development of a microsite that will sit on a subdomain. It will only consist of 5 pages so is a sitemap needed? I would expect the answer is no, but wanted to know if people had any good practice guidelines.
I would think no, not always needed. Particulars broken down by audience:
It's worthwhile creating a sitemap that's part of the IA documentation. You'll find that a microsite is always a few pages bigger than expected. This includes Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy, Response pages and Landing Pages if part of a campaign. It's also a useful negotiating tool if client has signed off on a project and wants to add more content.
As far as sitemap.xml is concerned, someone else will have to answer that question!
If you mean publishing a sitemap page for the users to use it, IMO it's only needed when the navigation is not clear enough.
If the site structure is essentially flat and there is a link to every page from every other page (often the case with microsites that have no second level navigation) you probably don't need to provide users with a sitemap. The main navigation provides the same information.
If, however, there is a second level of hierarchy and those second level pages cannot be reached directly from every other page (i.e. you have to go to a particular section before you can see the sub-navigation for that section) there is often benefit in providing a sitemap from an accessibility point of view. A sitemap provides an alternative method of navigation (WCAG SC 2.4.5 requires multiple methods of navigation) and also gives a very useful overview of content and structure.
I'd say, it depends:
For the first few of your microsites ever designed: yes.
For the rest: not necessarily.
The thing is that creating the sitemap for a five-page-long site takes less time than what you took in writing this question. If it was your 100th microsite, perhaps you wouldn't ask it on the first place.
You need to learn to do things properly first, then you can go the easy route, as otherwise, it's easy to underestimate each task. I usually tell youngsters that it's better to overshoot first than to underdeliver.

For version control comments what do other users do/recommend - past or present tense?
- Changed x to be y.
- or
- Changing x to be y.
For version control comments what do other users do/recommend - past or present tense?
closed as primarily opinion-based by durron597, Dan Pichelman, MichaelT, GlenH7, Snowman Jul 4 '15 at 17:36
Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Comments should be read in context, so:
For source comments above a method, or before some behaviour occurs:
For source comments after some behaviour occurred
And for commit messages
Mixed example:
Past - Since anyone who reads it in the future will refer to the act of the change as have happened in the past.
Wording something as "Changing" implies that you are currently in the process of making the change and that the code may not be finished.
note: Personally, I only put in change comments when a drastic change has occurred.
Comments are static things, so they should present the state of the program as is, and not as it is going to be. To answer your specific question, it would be more appropriate to use past tense.
However, this type of comment is better suited to your version control system. Version control does a much better job of change tracking than manual comments. With Version control systems, it is more appropriate to document in present tense as those comments apply at the moment the change is committed. But, either will work.
I would highly recommend that the only comments in your code should be what is required to understand the code itself--the purpose, business logic, and exceptional cases. Leave change set documentation to your version control system. If you aren't using a VCS, start now. There are several high quality VCS that are free (Subversion, Mercurial, Git, etc.).
I use the imperative present tense, so something like:
This is recommended by the Git developers:
It may seem a bit odd at first, but if you think of a commit as a patch that does something, it makes more sense. (This is especially true in a DVCS like Git, where you pull changesets from other people that act on your repo.)
It doesn't really matter; I think it's personal style and preference. As per writing almost anything, just be consistent with yourself and with other comments.
Code comments should be natural to read.
If you're reading the code saying to yourself "This code is doing X" then you should write the comment in present tense as this is likely how someone reading the code at that time will be thinking as well. If on the other had you're thinking at a particular point "This code did X" then it should be past tense. In the end it comes down to personal preference unless for some reason you're under guidelines of how to comment your code (ie for a team project or for a class, etc).
If you're using git the convention is to use present tense because commit messages generated with the git tools (e.g. merge) use present tense.
Use the present tense: "Change X to Y," almost as if it were an item on a clear TODO list.
In general, just like a screenplay, avoid verbs like "to be" and "is". For example, it's not "he is walking," but "he walks."
But in this particular example-- if you're talking about code comments, and not check-in comments-- I believe "Change X to Y" is a terrible comment. It adds no new information, and if the code were to change it might even be incorrect. It's better if you extract the code into a method (or a class) and then document that method instead. If it's clear enough then just a good method name will be sufficient.
Speaking of which, for documenting methods, you could use the future tense, e.g.: "If the number provided is negative,
Comments are (or should be), like anything written, expressions of something, and they should simply follow the same rules in natural languages (taking into account shorthands and abbreviations specific to the situation or artifact being documented.
Comments on the present tense (.ie "it changes" or "it is changing") indicates that an piece of data being operated by the documented algorithm is being affected somehow. That is, it indicates what the code is doing or what is occurring to the the data being manipulated.
Comments in the past tense should indicate an assertion, precondition or post-condition of something that has happened prior to the point where the comment resides. For example:
Input has already been validated before entering this block of code
Data has been written to file at the end of this code being executed
Comments in the past tense can also explain why something is being done (this function does X and Y to deal with a problem with the legacy database.)
Comments in the past tense indicating a change to the code itself (.ie. X was changed to Y) should not exist in the code. They should instead exist as revision comments in the source code repository.
Comments in the future should indicate a condition that needs to be met or addressed, but that for X or Y reason is not being done right now. For example:
When we finally migrate the db, we will have to change this logic
TODO: asap, revisit validation of input - it might fail for X or Y type of input, might require massive changes that cannot be implemented right now.
For the later TODO type of comments, some other form of documentation should exist to make sure that such changes actually take place. The last thing you want are TODOs lost in time and space :P
Take it with a grain of salt, but typically those are the rules I usually follow when I do my own comments.
Commenting is about communicating to human beings, so while consistency is important, it's important not to get bogged down in principles when the principles themselves get in the way of good communication. That said, I use the following pseudo-standards:
You should use the past tense.
The reason being you are answering the question what did this commit achieve? Think of it as telling your VCS what you did:
To give counter examples, using the future tense makes it sound like you're asking someone else to do it:
and using the present tense sounds like you're halfway through it:

In cryogenics, liquid nitrogen and liquid helium are often used as coolants. Other than their low boiling point of 77K and 4.2K respectively, what properties make them suitable as coolants? Are there any other possible candidates around the same temperature range?
Liquid nitrogen is used because nitrogen is extremely abundant on earth. Nitrogen makes up approximately 78% of the atmosphere by volume. Hence, liquid nitrogen is rather easy to make (and consequently cheap). I've heard for instance that Fermilab buys liquid nitrogen for cheaper than what you pay for water.
Liquid helium is useful for things that must go to much lower temperatures than 77K. It remains liquid (though it does change into a superfluid) even at absolute zero at atmospheric pressure, while essentially everything else is a solid at those temperatures. Solids aren't useful as coolants for obvious reasons, so liquid helium really is the only option.
There are other cold liquids that could be used, like liquid oxygen (BP at 90K) or hydrogen (BP at 23K), but these don't offer many advantages over nitrogen and helium. They are more reactive as well, which may or may not be a concern depending on what it is you are cooling. For most things nitrogen is sufficient, and for most things it doesn't work for helium does, so that's why they're almost universal.

And the beat goes on…
The Senate on Thursday night blocked a $35 billion bill for states and localities to hire teachers and first responders, marking the second defeat for President Barack Obama's jobs agenda in less than two weeks. The bill, which failed in a 50-50 vote, marked the first attempt by Senate Democrats to move pieces of the president's American Jobs Act that was defeated by a Senate filibuster last week.
For more information… http://www.politico.com
The GOP attack on the unemployed continues, unabated! What is it about JOBS that the Republicans don't understand? Ahhh…right…compassion…economics 101…and, of course, defeating President Obama next year! Perhaps, defeating the President is the biggest hurdle to overcome. Republicans are hell-bent on that goal, putting blinders on and forsaking all assistance to the American workforce until they either have one of their own in the White House, OR, until they are soundly defeated at the polls in 2012.

So, I'm running a dnd 4e campaign, and one of the characters in the party is a level 12 monk. He keeps killing the monsters I throw against him, and it is getting difficult to make encounters challenging. What are the best types of monsters to throw against a monk in 4e?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Monks primarily target Fortitude or reflex. Monsters that have high fort, ref, or both would present greater challenges to the monk. Likewise many of his abilities are about hitting enemies in a blast or moving and hitting lots of enemies monsters that prone, grapple, and punish moving away from them (basically monster versions of defenders) combined with powerful ranged artillery monsters could help you put the beatdown on him. In general monsters from the far realm have proven tough for my wife's monk to hit.
Monsters that cause:
will always extend your round count provided the player does not save against the effect.
Status effects will always be your friend, Not just ham-fisted heavy hitters.
If you want your monk to not wipe the field as quickly, target him with a Weakened and/or Restrained to halve damage, an Immobile, Prone, Slow, or Grabbed to take away some movement, and Dominate*, Stun, and Daze to remove actions they can take during their turn. Of course, the monster of your choosing should be powerful enough to have a fair chance of these effects sticking.
Unless you really want to fight the monk's proverbial "fire" with "fire", use a ranged creature or caster to inflict these effects. I suggest a reach of two or three for a single melee monster to go against most Monks, especially if this Reach is granted by size alone. A medium sized creature with this reach should probably have a lot of abilities that allow them to shift around the field before or after striking the target in order to prolong their life.
As an aside, I highly suggest incorporating some party dividing tactics to spread the Monk's attention. There's nothing like being caught between two lines of archers that refuse to converge.
If all else fails, use things that Fly! After all, if it's out of range, it's out of range.
(Ranged melee with fly? Ugh.)
(*If you Dominate the Monk, you can still use the At-Wills, as best I can recall, which can definitely throw a wrench into his plans. This is certainly the case if the Healer/Leader is suddenly in danger of being surrounded and pounded. Also, please make sure your party is okay with the use of "Dominate," as many players in my personal experience find the use of the status effect very undesirable.)
In summary, to challenge your monk, use flying ranged melee strikers or flying controllers that target the Monk's weakest defense.

International Policy
Michael W. Doyle
In an increasingly interdependent world, the work of Professor Michael W. Doyle is more prescient than ever
In the spring of 2011, as uprisings rocked Libya, Bahrain, and other nations in the Middle East, Professor Michael W. Doyle kept a close eye on the developments. Doyle, the former special adviser to recent United Nations secretary-general Kofi Annan, is a world-renowned expert on democracy and the ethics of intervention, two key issues at play in the Arab Spring clashes.
By late in the year, as the United States continued to aid rebels in their efforts to depose Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, Doyle was already hard at work on a book about intervention that addresses the law and ethics of coercive intervention in the politics of another country. The publication stems from the Castle Lecture Series he delivered at Yale in October. Divided into three parts, the new book delves into nonintervention and reasons for countries to disregard the standards for nonintervention.
"These are issues that don't go away," says Doyle, who holds a threefold joint appointment at Columbia Law School, the School of International and Public Affairs, and in the department of political science. "Just look at Libya, Egypt, and, this year, Syria, as a few examples. These issues keep coming up because we live in an increasingly interdependent world."
Doyle would know: He has been writing about the topics for nearly three decades. In 2011, he published Liberal Peace, a collection of his essays that includes his renowned 1986 work "Liberalism and World Politics." That piece was recognized in 2006 as the 16th most-cited article in the first 100 years of the American Political Science Review.
Doyle's work serves as a prime example of how scholarship can be used to help inform public policy, and vice versa. In April, he celebrated the seventh year of an event he helped create, the Global Colloquium of University Presidents, which seeks to harness international scholarship for practical good.
The colloquium took place at Columbia this year and brought together university presidents from across the U.S., as well as educational leaders from France, England, China, Chile, Mexico, and Germany. Headed by Columbia University President Lee C. Bollinger '71, the event focused on a topic that is particularly relevant to the recent uprisings in the Middle East: the population growth among 15- to 24-year-olds in developing nations. The university presidents and expert scholars gathered to discuss how the impact of the "youth bulge" will be shaped by the cost of education and the availability of employment, among other issues.
The inspiration for the colloquium arose in 2003, during a dinner celebrating the end of Doyle's tenure as assistant secretary-general at the United Nations. Annan noticed that, scattered among United Nations colleagues and friends, were the presidents of Columbia, Yale, NYU, and Princeton, among other preeminent institutions of higher learning. Turning to Doyle, he suggested gathering the expertise found around the dinner table that night to help resolve problems in international public policy.
"Kofi had the idea, and like with many things, he turned to me and said, 'Why don't you try to figure out how to make it happen?'" recalls Doyle.
Now, with the colloquium well established, Doyle spends much of his time analyzing issues of policy and government that arise daily around the world. Recent events confirm that he is at no loss for topics of study. "It's a steady business," Doyle says. "I'm still finding there is a lot to learn, and peeling away the layers of international engagement is fascinating."

What are some good tips for preparing my 3 year old daughter for a new baby-sister? we've got new baby books and stuff like that but she's probably still going to have a heard time of it.
Well, since you know she's having a sister, I'm guessing your wife is pretty far along in her pregnancy. Obviously, the sooner you get started, the better. Discussing with your daughter that mommy is going to have a new baby and sort of figuring out what your daughter understands about babies. Some kids sort of have this idea when Daddy and Mommy say they're bringing home a brother or a sister that the "baby" arrives as an immediate playmate--same age and everything. I can't tell you the disappointment this brings. Here are my big talking points (ie. things I wish I'd told my son before his little sister arrived):
That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I know some of these things aren't useful until closer to or after baby's arrival, but a few of them might start you off in the right direction.
Meg Coates knocked it out of the park. One thing I'd do is schedule some one-on-one time with her as much as you can. My 3-yr-old spent the first few weeks after her brother came home telling me "I don't love you." Translation: I'm jealous and can't really express it. Some Mommy-Daughter and Daddy-Daughter dates fixed that right up.

its probably simpler and more reliable to install something like macports and install apache2 from there, that way it will be persistent of apple software updates and much more flexible in configuration

Hi all,
I am considering getting the R1 to use my Fuji X-Pro1 and Samyang 8mm for some VR panos. A couple of questions that I have and I have searched the forums and looked at the manual.
Due to the small lens size is the aperture ring still usable? it looks like it might get covered. How many shots do people use with 60 degree camera rotation? How usable is the nadir/zenith adpater? I am assuming the focus ring is not covered and usable.
I would love to hear from anyone else using this combo. Thanks.

Let $f:Z\rightarrow X'$ be a closed subscheme, over $\bar k$, that is invariant under $F'_X$, meaning that there exists a $k'$-morphism $G:Z\rightarrow Z$ so that $f\circ G=F'_X\circ f$. Is it then true that $Z$ admits a descent to $k$?

JVC HAFX1X Xtreme-Xplosivs Headphone with Noise-Reduction Technology for $15.95
5 Comments add a comment
I ordered a pair off of amazon a few months ago and have to say the headphones sound great, ran into some issues with the plug being a little sensitive to touch while plugged into my phone after a while, but I'm rough on my headphones and this is common for me/my phone's headphone jack.
I own these also. I paid over $20 for them, and I've had very few problems in the year or so that I've had them. I haven't had any problems with the plug being sensitive on my end. I love these headphones and can't see how you can do much better.
After seeing the comments obove, this is price is really good, I'm planning to buy one.
I paid $30 for these after a lot of comparison research. I have no complaints. You're getting these things for half of what they are legitimately worth; in other words the $30 price is a justifiable indication of the actual value relative to the cheap $5-10 bargains you can pick up anywhere.
I don't see them on the Laalo site anymore (although there are Klipsch S3's).

Discover effective natural remedies for ITP Blood disorder
ITP Blood disorder also known as Idiopathic or Immune thrombocytopenia purpura is a condition where platelets decrease excessively causing internal bleeding and bruising. Also a sign known as "petechiae" is also one of the characteristic signs when platelets decrease under the 20,000 level. They like small little red dots under the skin. They can come out in any part of the body but show more clearly in the lower extremities.
Very little people who suffer from this condition know that there are natural alternatives that are effective and have been empirically proven to work. But not only empirically, there a many studies that show that herbal and nutritional medicine IS effective in ITP blood disorder.
Many of the natural alternatives work clearly by:
- Stimulating Platelet production
- Preventing platelet destruction
- Helping the body produce more steroids to protect against platelet reduction
- Regulating the immune system so that it doesn't reduce platelets
- Any many other effects
The problem with many people who are looking for a remedy for ITP blood disorder is that they only want a substance that will help them without changing life style or diet.
Why would a person with ITP Blood disorder need to improve their diet? Most doctors would say that there is no connection with diet and low platelet counts. Actually there is much controversy that surrounds this topic.
Whether diet and life-style has something to do with thrombocytopenia is still being discussed. But in my experience, too many cases have confirmed the effectiveness in using diet and life-style in regulating platelet levels. Foods that are high in antioxidants are very helpful to increase platelets. There are certain rules in using them but they are definitely effective.
Some great foods for low platelets are:
- blue berries
- carrot juice
- green vegetables
- pomegranate juice
- other
There are also a few things that need to be avoided.
- the herb guarana is very dangerous in persons who have a low platelet count
- Aspirin and other anti-inflamatory drugs
- others
I have dedicated a large part of my time to investigate this disease because it has attacked two close relatives of mine. For this reason I have compiled a good body of information which I have made available to the public in an e-book format. The e-book is called Conquer Low Platelets.

Kelly Bagget article(s)
All of this Jay Schroeder talk prompted me to do a little searching. I couldn't find anything on the net that was any more revealing than his interview with Robb, but somewhere along the way someone (Shafley maybe?) talked about Kelly Bagget, who's worked with Schroeder and is a little more open to discussing training methods. Anyway there's a series of articles here:
I thought this one had some interesting points and was curious as to what others thought:

I've been reading the site since it opened. I have read his Vertical Jump book...it's outstanding. I am seriously considering getting his new book regarding lean mass gain.
Good stuff from Kelly, almost always.

Lyle McDonald's newsletter has an interview with Kelly Baggett today. As a side note, Lyle's newsletters are usually weekly, and generally contain some interesting content. A typical newsletter is:
Research Review
Content (often interviews with guys like Baggett, Cressey, and, heh, me once, and occasionally material from some of Lyle's ongoing projects)
Here it is:
Feature Interview with Kelly Baggett
1: Hi Kelly, thank for joining us. Can you give us an idea of your background in the field?
Well I played most of the common team sports in school like basketball and football and from my late teens on my parents owned a small gymnastics, martial arts, and fitness facility, so I was always around sports and fitness. Even though I was a fairly decent athlete I was the typical skinny hardgainer type kid. I graduated high school at about 120 pounds. Thus, when I first got serious about training at around the age of 18 I was solely interested in bodybuilding. I've been fairly obsessed with various things related to training and diet ever since I got serious about it.
Even though I was originally just interested in looking good I also found the bigger and stronger I became the better I got at sports. Over the years I've dabbled in martial arts, powerlifting, o-lifting, track and field, and boxing. I actually boxed up until fairly recently.
Anyhow, over the years I was always in the gym either training myself or others. I'd get an interest in a particular style of training and learn as much as I could about it.
I guess in some ways I'm kind've a bit of a black sheep. Most bodybuilders tend to hate powerlifters and sports trainers. Powerlifters hate olympic lifters and vice versa. Strength and conditioning coaches make fun of all of them. But at one time or another I've been totally hardcore into about all of those respective "cliques". Anything having to do with physical performance or manipulation I'm game for.
Back before the internet I subscribed to every muscle magazine and read everything I could get my hands on by guys like Dan Duchaine and John Parrillo. I ate, lived, and slept muscle gain and fat loss. I wasn't a guy with a great physique by any means - I just thought manipulating the body and learning how to do that was awesome so I strived to learn as much as possible.
Eventually I was introduced to powerlifting and dabbled in that for several years. Then had a stint with olympic lifting. During this time I started training more and more athletes and eventually learned all the sports specific training stuff too. I kind've try to merge all of the stuff together. I've found that I've never really lost any of my interests...just kind've added to them. So instead of reading an hour or so per week like I did at 19 years old, now it takes me a boatload of time just to stay up to date on all my various interests: Alright anything new in the bodybuilding world? check. Fat loss world? check. Powerlifting world? check. Sport specific world? check.
2: Tell us about your own past athletic accomplishments or current goals.
You hear about these "gym" bodybuilders who are so great but never compete...guys like Vic Richards. Well, I was kind've that way as a speed-strength athlete. At my athletic peak at 5'9 I could pop a 9'6 tile ceiling with my head and I could run a sub 4.3 second 40 yard dash. However, I was such a late bloomer as an athlete I never had a chance to get any scholarship offers or anything like that so I was just pretty much a "street" type athlete and trainer. I am physically suited for combat sports and did do well in them but just didn't have a lot of passion for them - Didn't really like hitting people. Now I just to try and look good while maintaining a decent degree of athleticism.
3. As athletes and lifters move from beginner to intermediate to advanced, what do you think needs to change in terms of their training?
They need to get more focused with regard to creating and recovering from fatigue. A beginner will respond to anything and it doesn't take much for them to improve a given quality. Since they aren't really capable of inducing much fatigue, they also recover fairly quickly. That's why a beginner can hit a lift 3 times per week for 3 sets of 10 at 70% and gain strength workout to workout and recover just fine. However, as they progress they eventually reach a point where it takes more to stimulate a desired response. Not only does it take more to evoke a response, but now they're stronger and capable of creating more fatigue, so they need more recovery time. So now they might progress performing 5-8 sets per workout 2 days per week.
They might progress on that setup for a while but eventually they reach a point where they won't progress in strength session to session... a single workout is no longer enough to create enough fatigue to invoke an adaptive response. At this point they might train for 2-4 weeks with higher frequency and loading, say 5-8 sets at 80% 2-3 days per week. During this higher volume period a lot of fatigue will be generated and strength and power gains would likely be stagnant. Yet they then follow this up with 4 weeks of training a muscle group once every 4-6 days and they gain workout to workout. The higher volume period disrupts homeostasis, while the lower volume period allows supercompensation from that disruption.
Interestingly enough, those who make gains off of HIT are often unknowingly doing some sort've variation of what I just described. They train balls out for months or years with high volume where they never totally recover. Then they switch to HIT and allow themselves to recover from all that volume. All the sudden they make dramatic strength and size gains for about a month. Did they make the gains from HIT? Not really. They made the gains during their high volume phase. All the fatigue they were creating was just masking their true fitness state.
4. What's the best piece of training advice you've heard lately?
It came from Dan John: "The coach who coaches himself has an idiot for a client." I think he's exactly right when he says that it's very difficult to coach yourself because the more you know the more you start second guessing and questioning every minor detail of your training.
5. What about the worst?
A guru told one of my female BB clients that she shouldn't do any cardio whatsoever because it would burn up all her muscle. She went out and did about 8 hours of cardio in one week, gained 5 percent on all her lifts and a pound of muscle. I guess it depends on who you are - cookie cutter prescriptions rarely cut it.
6. Who in this field has influenced you and who do you listen to?
You and I probably have a lot of the same early role models. Guys like Dan Duchaine, John Parrillo, Charlie Francis, Stuart McRobert, Verkhoshansky, Mel Siff, and Tudor Bompa. Most of what I learn now is self taught, but I still have guys that I kind've seek out for information in given fields:
In the area of nutrition, metabolic regulation and endurance training that would be yourself.
For assessments and corrective exercise I seek out info. by Bill Hartmann.
For strength training I learn a lot from Glenn Pendlay
In sports training I like Mike Boyle's approach.
For perspective I like Dan John.
There are a ton of other guys too, but if I see an article from any of those folks I will definitely read it.
7. You've written extensively about both bodybuilding and athletic training and nutrition. If there was a single piece of advice you could give each group in terms of making progress in their endeavors, what would it be?
Bodybuilders - For most people not much happens without food intake. If you're not eating enough to put on some fat, you're probably not eating enough to put on any muscle either.
Sports Training- Don't lose site of your target. If in doubt keep things simple. I have found that more of a HIT type mentality periodically applied towards sports training often produces excellent results - simply because an athlete has so many various qualities to address and some degree of over-reaching seems to be the norm rather than the exception. Dynamic warmups, static flexibility, soft tissue work, strength training, power training, plyometrics, conditioning work etc. By the time you have all that covered, not to mention the sport training itself, many people can't help but be in somewhat of an over-reached state.
So I recommend people every once in a while take a couple of weeks to a month and get rid of all the background noise - just focus on the very basic things you're trying to improve. If you're trying to get faster take a 2 week period and eliminate all the strength, power, plyo, and tempo work and just get out on the track every couple of days and go for PRs. At least 10 times in the past year I have taken that approach with an athlete and I've yet to see it not work. The volume is still important as it creates the fatigue and the stimulus for the adaptive response, but you don't show the fitness until you eliminate the fatigue. I think it takes longer than what people realize for recovery to really take place.
8. In your own training past, what would you say was your worst mistake? Put differently, if you could go back and time and train more effectively, knowing what you know now, what would you do differently?
I would use more concentrated loading and unloading periods and also take better care of my joints. Better warm-ups, less weight, stricter control. I don't have a build really conducive to lifting heavy weights and I'm feeling it now.
9. Recently you released a book called "The No-Bull Muscle Building Plan - Defying the Curse of the Natural Muscle Seeking athlete" which is an approach to gaining muscle mass without the (often excessive) fat gain that can occur. Tell us about the program: How long did it take you to develop? Who is it aimed at? What kind of results can people expect using it?
It actually started several years ago when I was battling some problems with undiagnosed hypothyroidism. I was training consistently yet my muscles were shrinking while I was simultaneously piling on the blubber. I tried to come up with an approach that would allow me to maintain some semblance of conditioning and I did. The cyclical training and diet plan I came up worked to maintain my physique.
However, I wanted to see what would happen if I used it on someone with a normal functional metabolism. So, I tried it out on some people and it actually worked better than expected. Not only did they end up building muscle, but they also shed quite a bit of fat simultaneously. I eventually kept modifying and tweaking it to the point where it's mainly a mass gain plan...a mass gain plan with just enough fat burning thrown in to allow a person to keep fat gains at bay while they build muscle at about the same rate they would if they went out an all out bulk fest.
I've had some guys gain an average of more then one pound per week of muscle while shedding almost that much fat, but I'd say an average person can probably expect a consistent 2 to 4 pounds of solid muscle per month while keeping fat gains at bay.
In addition to the training plan itself, I tried to put a lot of good information in there about genetics, diet, setting up a training scheme, and various other topics.
My comment: I read an early version of the book as well as the finished product and I can't too highly recommend it. Kelly has the ability to put complicated concepts into simple words, which is the mark of someone who truly understands their topic, and even if you don't use the program you'll still learn a ton from it.
10. Where can people find out more about your ideas, theories and products?
I have a website
. You can read my articles there or check out the store to see my other products; I've got books for vertical jump and speed development in addition to the new book.
Thanks, Kelly!

I picked up his nutrition plan. I thought I'd give it a try. It pretty much goes completely against the grain of zone and paleo, from what I understand. It's more like a bodybuilders' diet but the insight is that you bulk for 10 days and cut for 4 days. I guess it might be considered IF of sorts.
Anyone else tried what he recommends? After being on zone and paleo for more than 6 months, I'm finding it very hard to ingest that many calories. With sports and my size, I need to be at around 5000 calories per day. Not going to happen on paleo, I think, unless i literally eat a horse.

I would think that the paleo diet would offer the easiest way to get in more calories because you can liberally use healthy oils (olive, coconut, palm, palm kernal, grassfed lard/tallow/suet). In terms of caloric density as it relates to volume of food, oils can't be beat.

I want to say, that it would be nice, if a DocumentMap/MiniMap would be added to RSyntaxTextArea.
Notepad++ have something called "Document Map":
Sublime Text have something called "MiniMap":
Since some time, Kate have a MiniMap, too:
All three have a line, where with very small fonts a bigger part of the document is shown and the current visible part of the Textarea have a colored background in the map.
But they differ in additional functionality of it.
Where Sublime Text only shows the MiniMap, Kate on the other side, can replace the scrollbar with it. And on Notepad++ it is a mix between the two. The scrollbar is still there, but you can click in parts of the Document Map, to jump to that position.

I need to typeset a dialogue in LaTeX, it's for a translation assignment. The original dialogue does something like this:
- I found it, I told him.
My finger was in the book, where George Best's autograph was. My da was
sitting in his chair.
- Did you? he said. - Good man. What?
- What?
- What did you find?
- The autograph, I told him.
He was messing.
I would like to keep that formatting without resorting to
\\ and such. I found the
dialogue package on CTAN, but it doesn't seem to be what I'm looking for.
Any ideas?
