5 Percent solution: slash U.S. programs
Edward Golec, Harwinton
There is a solution to the national debt-limit crisis. An across-the-board, 5 percent cut in all spending categories, including Social Security, Medicare, the military, government-employee salaries and pensions (including those for elected officials), and foreign aid. Everything and everyone would feel the pain. No one would be spared.

He makes a blanket statement like "Cut 5% across the board" as if that's an answer to the problem.
Some programs may need to be cut 5% , but some may be able to be cut 20% and some may need their funding increased and some shouldn't have their funding cut at all. People like ED should say specifically what needs to be cut and why and how.
Also there are contracturial obligations that need to be met and can't be cut at all.
For example Social Security. Where does Ed get off saying cut that 5%? People have a formal written contract with the governemnt to receive SS. They kept their part of the agreement by decades of payroll taxes and now Ed say they must take a cut!!!
Cut Medicare by forcing doctors to take less!!! Did you think that through Ed? and what all the consequences will be? Like Doctors quiting, Emergency Rooms even more full than they are now.
No Ed, I'm sorry but your two paragraph solution won't solve any problems. "

Dinamic Filters
I have an application that is a simple reports page. I'm using a Store with JsonP to fill my grid panel and for sending to the customized filters (since i don't want the ones which come with sencha gridpanel, not because they are useless but because i want my own filters) The thing is i want to build filters on a panel next to my gridpanel according to the data received via JsonP.
For example, the report is a bunch of employees' records with columns [code,name,nationality,age,genre]
but in my jsonP I received only nationality and genre. So my target is to create dinamically those filters by adding controls to my filters panel (empty at the begining) with button controls representing for each filter.
29 Dec 2012 8:55 AM #2
I think you could probably listen for the result from the store load. In that listener, prepare a list of columns from the data received (you could even add a property in your result that is just a list of columns to make it easier...).
Once you have the list of columns for which you want filters, simply loop over them and create new filter controls and add them to the panel.
Here's a quick example I threw together with shows, theoretically, how you could fit the pieces together. Note: this is not a 100% fit for your needs, since I'm faking the load event...but maybe the concept will work for your needs.

8 Psychotic Overreactions by Adults at Youth Sporting Events
Anybody who played sports as a kid has probably had one or both of their parents behave in such a ridiculously embarrassing manner during a game that it still makes us cringe just to think about it. So it should come as no surprise that on athletic fields around the world, the phenomena known as Sideline Rage (that is, adults acting like unbalanced assholes during children's sporting events) seems to have gotten even more terrifying since we were kids.
#8. Dentist Dad Rigs Helmet to Make Opposing Players Bleed
As much as every parent says, "It doesn't matter if you win as long as you have fun," nobody wants their kid running around picking daisies in the outfield and taking fancy-pants swings at the ball. Sure, you can make your kid do extra practice at home, or maybe even spring for a personal trainer. Or, if you're like dentist and overzealous sports dad Dr. Stephen Cito, you can weaponize your son's football helmet before a big game.
Not quite this, but almost.
Taking a page out sports legend Ty Cobb's playbook, Dr. Cito sharpened the face guard of his son's football helmet so it would slash any opposing players that got close enough. His son wore the death helmet in a game against high school rival Albuquerque Academy. After five players were taken off the field with lacerations, referees halted the game, and an inspection of the Cito's super-helmet revealed it was "sharp enough to shred a magazine cover."
Hopefully this one.
Let's make it clear: He didn't rig this thing to scratch up some arms and hands and make the game a little tougher on the other team. One opposing player had to be taken to the hospital to get 10 stitches on his arm. Yes, this is a real thing that happened.
Cito's son was expelled from St. Pious High and banned from competition for a year. Dr. Cito himself was charged with conspiring to commit aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and sentenced to two days in jail, one year probation and 400 hours community service, presumably teaching little leaguers how to file down a toothbrush and hide it in their glove.
#7. Son, Sometimes You Just Have to Poison Your Teammates
Inner team conflict can definitely ruin an organization's chances for success.
"I've had it with your GODDAMN BALL HOGGING!"
So when your kid has a teammate who's giving him problems, you can teach him to stand up for himself, or even give him some basic conflict resolution techniques. Or, you could go Jerome Breland's way and add ipecac (ie "a chemical that makes you vomit violently") to a juice bottle, then have your son give it to the kid who's pissing him off.
If the uncontrollable puking isn't enough, keep in mind that ipecac can lead to serious illness or death if administered improperly (a phrase which here means "secretly feeding it to a child"). Breland's diabolical plan for clandestine revenge ran into trouble when the rest of the team wound up drinking the spiked juice as well.
Practice for the team's upcoming championship game ended abruptly, as players began running off the field, clutching their stomachs and puking Go-Gurt all over the sidelines. Unaware that the children had essentially been poisoned, parents and coaches rushed eight of the kids to local hospitals thinking they'd caught a new strain of Ebola from the monkey meat they use in the cafeteria meatloaf.
A police investigation uncovered Breland's nefarious deed and he was sentenced to six months' house arrest and one year of community service, because what community wouldn't benefit from the forced labor of a man who purposely caused serious harm to young children.
#6. Dad Buys Entire League for His Son, Then Kills It
When Virginia dad Dan Hinkle flipped out over his son's field reassignment during a big game, he acted like the entire league revolved around his kid. Though, he kind of had a point on that one.
See, Hinkle personally bankrolled the 250 player strong football league called the "South County Youth Association" to the tune of $150,000 and had named himself commissioner. He advised the coaches of his son's team that "Scott does not sit out on defense--ever. The entire league exists so he can play defense on the best team in his weight class. He is my son, I own the league, and he plays every snap on defense."
Because if you're going to sponsor little league football,
you might as well rule it with an iron fist.
When Hinkle (who didn't even attend the game in question) found out that his son had been moved from defense to offense for the final game of the season, resulting in an overtime win that put the team in the postseason, he fired all the coaches and hired replacements for the playoff games.
In protest, the team of 12 to 14-year olds refused to play for the new coaches, so the playoffs went on without them. The entire South County Association was eventually dissolved when it was decided that they had not complied with the rules, which include having an elected board and a grievance procedure and not being run by a five-year-old douchebag in a man's body.
#5. Volleyball Coach Plays the Cleaver Card
Kennedy Middle School volleyball coach Toni Gay suffered an embarrassing loss when her entire team was disqualified from a game because of derogatory comments made by a fan.
Gay, overcome with white-hot fury, walked out to her car, grabbed a meat cleaver and tried to bring it back inside with her. While we can only speculate on why she happened to have a cleaver in her car, there isn't a whole lot of wiggle room when it comes to figuring out why she would want to introduce one to an argument.
Gay later explained in her defense that things had gotten "just crazy,'' a fact which no one disputed but was still not enough to keep her from getting fired, arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and unlawful use of a weapon on school property, leading us to wonder what exactly constitutes lawful use of a weapon on school property.
The answer is Christian Slater in Heathers.

7 Insane Easter Eggs Hidden in Movies and TV Shows
#3. The Hidden Madness in Apocalypto
The only background information you need about this Easter egg is this: Mel Gibson is insane.
He may also be Snidely Whiplash.
Got it? OK, we're good to go.
After the success of The Passion and faced with the impossibility of doing a sequel without pissing off the movie's considerable fanbase, Gibson decided to direct another long, violent film set hundreds of years in the past and spoken in an ancient language: Apocalypto. It's a very serious, very tragic film about the last days of the Mayan civilization. However, as soon as the movie's teaser trailer was released, some people noticed something ... disturbing about it. Check out the rapid sequence of shots near the end of the trailer, starting at around 1:45.
Don't see it? It's a single frame, so you have click and pause very fast to catch it. It's around 1:46. If you do it right, you'll be rewarded with this:
Yes, apparently, Mel Gibson slipped a subliminal image of his crazy beard in the trailer for his movie. As we mentioned, this isn't some wacky comedy -- it's about as dramatic as The Passion, only with more pounding drums and chase sequences. OK, so this Easter egg isn't technically in the movie, and it isn't really that crazy, but the next part is. Searching for Easter eggs in a movie is a little like playing Where's Waldo -- you know, those books about a guy dressed in red and white stripes with a tendency to get lost in large crowds of people.
"I like groping people."
In the theatrical cut of Apocalypto it's literally like that, because as the camera pans over a massive pile of dead bodies in a particularly grisly scene... you can see a single frame of Waldo lying among the corpses.
OK, that has to be a hoax, it was probably shot by some bored guy in his backyard or some-
Nope, that doesn't look like someone's backyard. That's either: A) the set of a big budget Hollywood movie, or B) an actual mass grave. It doesn't look like a Photoshop either, and there are half a dozen other sightings on YouTube. The frame was removed from the DVD version of the film, but the theatrical cut still survives thanks to the thousands of pirated copies going around online. If you still think it's a hoax, ask yourself this: Do you seriously think this is too crazy for Mel Gibson?
Didn't think so.
#2. John Landis Really Wants to See You Next Wednesday
2001: A Space Odyssey is arguably one of the greatest movies ever made, even if no one has any idea what the fuck it's actually about. It has influenced directors for almost half a century, but even Kubrick could not have predicted that a throwaway line from the film that isn't even in the script would lead to one of the longest running Easter eggs in cinematic history.
... and we're fairly sure Kubrick could see into the future.
The line is simply "See you next Wednesday" and it's spoken by the father of one of the astronauts on a videophone. That's it. But that one line had such a huge impact on John Landis that he wrote a screenplay called See You Next Wednesday in honor of the movie. By all accounts it was terrible (yes, even worse than Blues Brothers 2000), and he decided never to use it.
However, even in a pile of shit you can find nuggets of perfectly good corn, so in all the movies Landis made where he pinched a line, character, theme or whatever from the SYNW script, he would give a little nod to it.
Everything from a porno to a prehistoric epic. Makes you wonder what Landis' screenplay was about.
We'd like to see her next Wednesday, if you catch our incredibly subtle drift.
Many have jumped on the SYNW bandwagon, and the phrase can be found in all kinds of stuff, from the video game classic Deus Ex to Hellboy II.
#1. Inception's Hidden Soundtrack
The plot of Inception is all about sneaking an idea into somebody's mind without the person even realizing it. Turns out that while you were watching the movie, Chris Nolan was totally doing the same thing to you.
And that's why you've been dreaming about those piercing eyes for the past year.
More specifically, the "idea" that Nolan secretly inserted into your mind is this:
Some context: In the movie, whenever DiCaprio and his gang are about to wake up, they hear the song Non, je ne regrette nien by Edith Piaf. But you knew that part -- they never hide the fact that they're using that particular song as part of the plot. What you might not have realized is that you're hearing it even when you think you aren't.
We're just going to assume there are still two or three more mindfucks hidden inside this thing.
Remember that ultra-dramatic instrumental theme you hear over and over for the last 45 minutes of the movie? It sounds like a typical summer movie soundtrack meant to let you know that shit's getting real ... but it's actually that same Edith Piaf song, slowed down almost beyond recognition.
The really cool part is that it makes perfect sense. The Edith Piaf song is a way for the characters to know they're about to wake up -- but since time passes more slowly inside dreams, what seems like two minutes and 23 seconds in reality can last a lot longer for them. While the song is playing at normal speed in the waking world, the characters should hear it all slowed down.
And possibly in zero-gravity.
Hans Zimmer, the film's composer, said that in order to achieve this, they actually went to France and extracted two notes from the original master of the song. Apparently those two notes went a long way, because he also said that "all the music in the score is subdivisions and multiplications of the tempo of the Edith Piaf track." So basically, old song + math = Oscar nomination.

Box Score | Game Notes
OKLAHOMA CITY (January 19, 2013) – The San Antonio Rampage (17-21-0-4) surrendered the game-winning goal late in the third period and fell, 2-1, to Oklahoma City (18-16-2-3) en route to a weekend split at Cox Convention Center.
Andre Deveaux scored his first goal since Nov. 16th and rookie John McFarland earned his first point in his second game since his call up from Cincinnati on Wednesday.
Rampage goaltender Jacob Markstrom was again solid in net, making 34 saves off 36 shots in the defeat. Markstrom stopped 80-of-84 shots on the weekend and has surrendered two or fewer goals in six of his last seven games.
Barons forward Dane Byers opened the scoring and gave Oklahoma City the first goal of the game for the second straight night at 12:52 of the opening frame. Tyler Pitlick took advantage of a San Antonio turnover and got the puck over to the former member of the Rampage to make it 1-0.
The Rampage kept up the offensive pressure and outshot the Barons, 10-9, in the first period – a night after being outshot 19-2 after the first 20 minutes.
The Rampage found the game-tying goal late in the second period, as Deveaux made it a 1-1 game when he took advantage of a great individual effort by McFarland.
McFarland charged into the Barons' zone on the left wing side and peeled off the wall and powered his way to the net, with Deveaux crashing the crease, as well. Deveaux found the puck and was able to lift it past Barons' goaltender Oliver Roy to tie the game at 16:02.
The goal was Deavuex's first since Nov. 16th, while McFarland's assist was is first since November 13th. It was also his McFarland's first point since returning from the ECHL's Cincinnati Cyclones.
The Barons fought back in the third period, outshooting San Antonio, 16-8. Despite the shot discrepancy, Markstrom kept the Barons at bay until Ryan Martindale tallied the game winner with just over a minute remaining in regulation.
Martindale fired a shot from the point that snuck past a screened Markstrom at 18:51. For his efforts on the night, Markstrom was awarded the Third Star of the Game.
Oklahoma City won the shot battle, 36-25, but were once again blanked on the power play, going 0-for-2 on the night. San Antonio also ended the night 0-for-2 with the man advantage.
San Antonio finishes the season series at Oklahoma City with a 1-4-0-1 record. The two clubs will meet twice more at AT&T Center to wrap up the season series.
The Rampage will return to the AT&T Center on Friday to face the Texas Stars at 7:30 p.m. on a KZEP Dollar Drink night. The Silver and Black will play their third annual Pink in the Rink game on Friday, Feb. 1 at 7:30 p.m.
Individual, and season, tickets start at $10 and can be purchased at the AT&T Center Southeast Box Office, by calling a Rampage representative at 210-444-5554 or online at sarampage.com.

I'll I have to say is "Cool". Nice build. Keep us updated when you get everything just right.
I decided to try to build a sterling pistol in 7.62x25. I started with one of the wise lite receivers we have and a pps43 barrel. the main problem was getting the round to feed, I made a new trunnion with a built in feed ramp and got it to feed with pps41 mags that have been modified. the next step will be to decide if I want to make the bbl removeable or not and if it is worth making a new mag well. for now I will thread the end of the barrel so I can do some test firing and see what else needs to be done.
I'll I have to say is "Cool". Nice build. Keep us updated when you get everything just right.

Travelers to Central Java do not need to go far to enjoy marine life, above and below the sea. The Karimunjawa archipelago, located in the Java Sea, north of the capital city of Semarang, has everything to offer divers and backpackers who enjoy trekking and snorkeling along a pristine beach. The Karimunjawa National Park (not to be confused with the Karimun Islands in Bintan, Riau) is one amongst seven marine national parks in Indonesia. Taking only a four to five-hour trip from Semarang, you will be surrounded by natural beauty, so that you wish that you could stay there forever.
Separated from the larger Java Island, the marine conservation area is far from the hustle and bustle of the metropolis, although it floats geographically only 120 kilometers off the north coast of Semarang between Java and Kalimantan. Such distance forms a natural fence from physical degradation and has made it culturally resilient from modern influences.
Karimunjawa was formally declared a Marine Protection Area in 1986 encompassing some 272,000 acres, with the largest part being sea. Then on February 22, 1999, it was signed as the Karimunjawa National Park. The pristine beaches and seas are home to healthy coral reefs that scatter in an 80 kilometers wide area all the way to the coast of Jepara, a Central Java town, wellknown for its top-drawer furniture.
Two protected biota species here are the black coral (Antiphates sp.) and organ pipe coral (Tubipora musica). Others include the triton trumpet, the hornet helmet, and the pearly-chambered nautilus. Here are also hawksbill turtles, common green turtles, and on land are the red-breasted parakeet and other tropical bird species.
There are 27 islands in this national park, where only 5 are inhabited. Towns and villages are set on the island of Karimunjawa (the largest island), Kemujan, Nyamuk, Parang, and Genting.
By Kemujan island is the wreck of the Panamanian ship called the "Indono" that sank here in 1955 and is now habitat of coral and fish and a popular site for wreck diving.
Best time to visit the Park is between April to October.
Legend has it that the islands were sighted and discovered by a prominent cleric, known as sunan in Java. His name was Amir Hasan or known as Sunan Nyamplungan, son of Sunan Muria and nephew of Sunan Kudus, two of the nine most prominent clerics in the history of the spread of Islam on Java.
Being the closest marine national park from Central Java, Karimunjawa attracts those who wish to take in its natural beauty and learn about marine life.
More information on diving in Karimunjawa Islands are observable at: diving-indonesia.net
Some of the most notable resorts in Karimunjawa are Kura-kura Resort and Karimunjawa Resort. The Menjangan Kecil Resort is found on Menjangan Kecil island. While the Barracuda Resort looks very popular with its lush tropical small forest and cottages among the rows of coconut trees. More information are available at : find a hotel
Flights to Semarang are available from Jakarta, Denpasar Bali, and also from other cities. Karimunjawa itself has an airport in Kemujan Island, called the Dewadaru Airport. Small aircrafts land here although the flight schedule is still dominated by chartered flights from Semarang, Yogyakarta, or Bali.
Ferries serve the islands three times a week, either from Jepara or also Semarang, and speed boats are plenty and available on special request.
A ticketing company shows the schedule as follows:
Speed Boat Kartini 1
Saturday Depart Semarang 09:00 arrive Karimunjawa 12:30

Leaving only from the Port of Jepara (Kartini) it is a relaxing trip over the Java Sea with plenty of room to choose from and a cafeteria on board.
The ferry departs from Jepara at 09:00 on even dates, and leaves Karimunjawa on odd dates at 08:00.

Bion R. Cram Professor of Economics
Hubbard Hall - 111
Current teaching schedule available on the public course finder.
Rachel Connelly started teaching at Bowdoin in 1985, after completing her Ph.D. in Economics for the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Since then she has also held positions of NSF/ASA Fellow at the U.S. Census Bureau, 1988-89, and Visiting Professor at People's University, Beijing PRC, Fall 1991-Fall 1992 and Peking University, Institute for Population Research, Spring 1991, and Fall 1998 through Fall 1999.
Connelly's area of research is at the intersection of demographics and labor markets. She has published articles on the effect of broad demographic trends on the labor market decisions and on the economics of child care. Her research on child care considers both sides of the market -- the demand for child care on the part of families with young children, the labor supply of child care workers, employers use of child care as an employment benefit, and parental child caregiving time. Her most current research on child care, joint with Jean Kimmel, looks at the caregiving time of parents using the American Time Use Survey (ATUS). Recent articles on times use by Connelly and Kimmel have been published in the Journal of Human Resources, Review of Economics of the Household and Eastern Economics Review. In addition, Connelly and Kimmel have written a monograph, Time Use of Mothers in the United States at the Turn of the 21st Century, published by W. E. Upjohn Press.
In addition to the study of child care, Connelly conducts research on issues related to women's status, education, and migration in rural China. Her articles on China appear in The China Journal, Economics of Education Review, Feminist Economics, Journal of Human Resources, and The Journal of Contemporary China, among others.
Over the years her research has been funded with grants from among others: NSF, ILO, W.E. Upjohn Institute, the Joint Center for Poverty Research, the Ford Foundation, and the Sage/Rockefeller Committee on the Future of Work. Connelly is currently a Research Fellow at the IZA, the Institute for the Study of Labor, in Bonn, Germany.
In addition to teaching Introductory Economics, Intermediate Microeconomics, and Economic Statistics, Connelly teaches courses on "Labor Economics and Human Resources", "The Economics of the Family," "The Economics of Lifecycle" and "Applied Research Practicum: Chinese Rural to Urban Migration." The latter four courses are all cross listed with the Gender and Women's Studies Program and the last one is also cross listed with Asian Studies. At Bowdoin, Connelly has served as the Director of the Gender and Women's Studies Program, and the Chair of the Economics Department.
In 2003 Connelly and co-author Jean Kimmel received the Georgescu-Roegen Prize in Economics for the best article in the Southern Economic Journal, 2002-2003 volume (abstract). In 1986 Connelly received the Dorothy S. Thomas Award for best paper by a recent graduate student, Population Association of America.

The 6 Most Baffling PSAs Starring Famous Superheroes
In theory, superheroes should be a perfect fit for public service announcements and such, because they represent that rare combination of moral rectitude and saying things kids actually care about. The problem is that the people who write those comics aren't always the most mentally balanced individuals out there, so what should be a simple PSA about safe sex, gender equality or being kind to animals turns into utter madness.
#6. Spider-Man Stops a Diabolical Plot to Get Teens to Have Unprotected Sex
In 1976, Planned Parenthood teamed with Marvel Comics to release a special Spider-Man comic to discourage teenagers from having unprotected sex. You might expect the story to involve your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man swooping in to talk to kids about their private parts (again), but the staff at Marvel decided that wouldn't be awkward enough. Instead, the comic introduced an evil alien called the Prodigy who has the power to make people believe anything he says. Naturally, he uses that power to convince teenage girls that they wouldn't get pregnant from having sex.
We literally cannot think of another use for this power.
But it gets much stupider. The reason why the Prodigy wants teenagers to get it on without protection is to create thousands of babies to take back to his home world of Intellectia for child labor, which will somehow aid them in conquering other planets.
Our puny minds can't comprehend the transcendent genius of a giant baby snatch.
So, let's get this straight -- rather than simply using his persuasive powers to convince able-bodied teenagers to return to his home planet as slaves, the Prodigy planned to wait for at least nine months until the babies were born, then abduct the infants and wait for them to develop the necessary fine motor skills to perform child labor, all the while having to deal with middle of the night feedings and diaper changes. Which, according to Spider-Man, might be the worst part.
It's not like the staffer who wrote this was bitter about where her life went or anything.
Of course, Spider-Man saves the day. The epic battle culminates with Spidey obstructing the Prodigy's vocal cords by shooting webbing fluid down his throat so he can no longer speak his persuasive lies (or, like, breathe). Our hero then stands there making a joke while the villain lies on the floor hilariously choking to death.
Seems like the perfect opportunity to teach kids about oral sex.
The comic ends with a list of tips, including "Masturbation won't make you insane" and "Being attracted to someone who's of the same sex doesn't mean you're homosexual." That's all great (and kind of a relief), but why couldn't they start there? What lesson does the actual comic teach kids beyond "Don't trust people with large foreheads"? Oh, and "Spider-Man would be a terrible father," apparently.
#5. Captain America Beats Up Asthma
As a general rule, good comics don't have the words "compliments of your physician" on the cover. In a giveaway comic to raise awareness of asthma, Captain America faces the Asthma Monster, a villain with an asthma-inducing weapon called an "Aller-Gun" (which cleverly sounds like "allergen," as the comic itself points out).
Captain America also tangled with Irritable Bowel Syndrome Monster and the Late-Stage Syphilis Beast.
As it turns out, the Asthma Monster is just a bitter guy with asthma who, instead of simply getting an inhaler, decided to build a protective suit, invent an asthma gun and "fix it so nobody in the world could breathe." While Captain America foils the villain's plan with the aid of two asthmatic children, the comic sends a pretty crappy message that all it took to become a supervillain was having asthma.
"... you could have just grabbed him, but, you know, that's good, too."
To defeat this foe, Captain America has no problem with endangering the lives of the two asthmatic children. Unsurprisingly, the kids suffer an asthma attack while riding on Captain America's motorcycle, but we learn that they can get through it without the aid of inhalers just by relaxing, as Cap instructs them to do.
"My technique is called 'Not stopping the bike while two children choke to death'."
It turns out that Captain America had asthma as a kid, too, but he beat it by learning to calm himself in times of stress. Yeah, we're sure it had nothing to do with those magical steroids that turned him into an Aryan superman.
The Asthma Monster was so awesome that a few years later, a follow-up comic was released in which he returned with a whole gang of allergy-themed villains, including Furball, a monster made out of your pet's fur:
And probably a whole lot of shed pubic hair.
Rugburn, the cigar-smoking, rollerskating representation of dirty carpets:
This is what you get for putting out blunts on the rug.
And Dust Dragon, a creature that hides in dirty ventilation systems:
Geez, Cap. Kind of a step down from punching Nazis, isn't it?
... none of whom ever appeared in a comic again, sadly. Here's hoping for an appearance in the Avengers sequel.
Ultimately, the Asthma Monster reforms, and despite having literally tried to smother everyone on the planet, he's allowed to serve time for his crimes by performing community service, including coaching a children's swim team (seriously).
"Wait, he doesn't have asthma anymore? Get this man out of jail!"
#4. Batgirl Is Willing to Let Batman Die for Pay Equality
No matter how dark and brooding Christopher Nolan tries to make him, it's always going to be a little hard to take Batman seriously as long as evidence still exists that the campy Adam West TV show happened. Batman's comical adventures were so popular back in the day that in 1973, five years after the show ended, the U.S. Department of Labor decided to recreate it for a tongue-in-cheek public service announcement.
The U.S. Department of Labor, a name that is synonymous with humor and adventure.
The commercial, intended to promote equal pay for women, reunited Burt Ward as Robin and Yvonne Craig as Batgirl, albeit with a stand-in for Adam West as Batman (because of course Adam West had gone on to an award-winning film career in many other timeless roles). How exactly does a Batman ad promote equality, you ask? By having Batgirl refuse to rescue him and Robin from a ticking time bomb unless Batman agrees to give her a raise, of course, thus single-handedly setting back the feminist movement 40 years:
With the Dynamic Duo about to be blown up by the bomb, Batgirl decides that this is as good a time as any to complain that she's "paid less than Robin." Isn't Robin supposed to be a minor, though? Aren't there slightly more urgent laws that Batman is breaking by having him risk his life for a paycheck? So, we guess the Department of Labor's message here is "Gender discrimination sucks, but reckless child labor is groovy."
"He pays me mostly in smooching, though."
Eventually the timer on the bomb starts to ring, and Batgirl pauses before deciding whether to disarm it, with a cliffhanger ending that leaves us unsure if they all died or not. While the ad was meant to give a voice to women's rights, Batgirl comes across as a sociopath who's willing to commit murder (and suicide) for money. On top of that, Batman, despite being a multimillionaire, would sooner go to his grave than just throw Batgirl a few extra vacation days or stock benefits.
Then again, if he does give in to Batgirl, next thing you know he'll have Alfred refusing to clean all the bat guano in the Batcave unless he gets a raise, too, so we sort of see where he's coming from here.
"Do you have any idea how expensive fake rocks and Bat-Shark-Repellent are?"

To the editor:
Once again, our area senior citizens have enjoyed the outstanding facility of the Mingo Junction Aracoma Park's municipal park and swimming pool. The program of allowing seniors access to the pool every morning for the entire summer enhances our lifestyle and entertainment.
The availability of this fine facility provides a vital regimen, which contributes to our health, exercise, camaraderie and social engagement. We are most appreciative that the village administration endorses this program and welcomes our participation.
Our sincere gratitude to Mayor Ron DiCarlo, Village Administrator Frank Fuscardo and Village Council for their encouragement in keeping this program alive.
This year's pool manager, Terry Zane, added a new dimension to our amenities and enjoyment. New showers, renovated locker rooms, more benches, tents and umbrellas were added. We have benefited from an atmosphere that would rival any pool facility anywhere. The Aracoma Park swimming pool has become the core of the village and possibly the Ohio Valley. Visit the pool on a sunny morning. The atmosphere, the music, the clear blue heated water, the commodity, the exercise therapy, the social benefits, the blossoming friendships and many parties all lend to our comfort and overall pleasure. Every morning, we enjoy coffee, cookies, much conversation, exhilarating water therapy and friendship. You don't have to swim per se, just walking, conversing and refreshing in the water or at poolside is very satisfying.
The old adage "folks, it doesn't get any better than this" certainly applies here. This is senior living at its finest and guess what, you don't even have to leave home.
All in all, it was a great year under Zane's tutorage and we fully appreciate the value and good fortune in having one of the finest recreational programs and park in the Ohio Valley in our midst.

Book Review: An Exposition on the Eight Extraordinary Vessels: Acupuncture, Alchemy, and Herbal Medicine
by Scott R. Smith
After receiving this book and flipping through some of its 500 pages, I laughed and wondered if I had taken on too much. Sure, it�s only a book review, but I was given the responsibility to not only read through the text but to positively or negatively evaluate the book in hand through careful analysis of its content, style, organization and so forth. Other books I�ve reviewed in the past were closer to clinic manuals. Being a clinician, it was fairly easy to judge whether or not the material was useful and well-presented. This book is more intense. Its content is ambiguous, really challenging one to keep an open mind regarding Li�s approach to the extraordinary vessels.

How to Avoid Food Poisoning
In This Article:
Despite its name, salmonella doesn't just occur in salmon. It too is a bacteria—a more serious cousin to staphylococcus. Salmonella poisoning occurs in contaminated foods, which might or might not be cooked. It is also linked to poor sanitary conditions. (In other words, avoid food stores swarming with insects, heat, and cooks with dirty hands.)
Salmonella bacteria is most prevalent in undercooked or improperly cleaned or stored poultry, pork, beef, and eggs.
Symptoms of salmonella poisoning usually surface about eight hours after a person eats the bad food. The symptoms are very similar to those of staphylococcal poisoning, but they are much more severe. They include:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Fever
- Chills
- Severe diarrhea and abdominal cramps
- Flu-like symptoms
First Things First
How can you tell if the food in a can might have been contaminated? If a can is battered, swollen at the top or bottom, or sold after the "best used by" date, or if it exudes a strong odor when it's opened, you can bet it's probably bad. You should live by the old saying, "When in doubt, throw it out!"
If you think someone might have salmonella poisoning, seek medical help immediately. Then make the person as comfortable as possible. Give him or her only water if requested.
The most devious food poisoning, botulism, is also the most deadly. It is an illness caused by the botulinum bacteria. Symptoms usually don't appear until two days after ingestion—and it can sometimes be difficult to trace back to the contaminated food. Botulism is caused by contamination of canned goods; the botulinum bacteria thrives on improperly packaged food and food that is used after it has "turned bad." New studies are also revealing that botulism can occur in gourmet hand-flavored bottled oils, in which whole slivers of peppers or herbs are placed in a glass bottle along with the cooking oil.
Before You Put the Band-Aid On
The more acidic the canned food is, the less likely the chance that botulinum bacteria can grow in it. The acid kills the enemy before it has time to get a "podhold." Thus most canned goods containing tomatoes (such as tomato soup, stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato juice) are probably going to be safe.
Botulinum bacteria produces symptoms all its own:
- Blurriness or dim vision
- Double vision
- Heavy eyelids
- Difficulty breathing
- Severe fatigue
- Inability to swallow
- Garbled speech
If any of these symptoms occur, seek medical assistance immediately. Try to retrace the ill person's routine over the past two days and find the culprit. Finding the food can help the emergency team provide the correct treatment. If the ill person cannot remember what she consumed or if she is too sick to talk, check her appointment book, call her office, and look in the garbage can.

So I am a super noob to guitar. I play piano mostly. I recently restrung my dad's old classical guitar (nylon string). I am looking at the tabs for a song and the strings are going like "E-B-G-D-A-E" like what is that ? I thought it was E-A-D-G-B-E ?! so confused this is the link btw. Thank you ! http://www.guitaretab.com/j/jung-yong-hwa-of-cn-blue/300154.html
When you hold a guitar the fretboard looks like that:
The thickest string at the bottom and the thinnest at the top. Some people prefer to represent chord diagrams in this way, other people prefer to represent chords as they can see the fretboard in a mirror on the wall. It is only a personal preference.
Another way to remember which side is up on a tab staff: just like on a normal staff the higher notes are on top.
In tab notation the most thin string on guitar (also called the 1st string - in the standard tunning this is the E-first string) is presented on top line and then next strings down to the 6th string - also E in standard tunning on the bottom.
Sometimes you can find different note names next to the tabulature lines, and that means tabulature is written for non standard tuning. The so called DAGDAD tuning is quite popular, and you can work it out yourself :) which strings should be tuned to which pitch.
Try playing Spanish or Italian baroque tabs. They put the highest string on the bottom, as though you were looking at the strings in a mirror. French tabs of the same period are more like modern tab, with the highest string in the top. Switching from one to the other is a bear! But I would guess that modern tab just puts the highest string at the top as a way to imitate regular notation. It's easy to get used to -- higher notes are higher on the staff.

Would anyone like to join me...
in a tattlefest?
Maybe a quick 10 each plus your own expired deals? It may not be much, but it will help make a tiny dent.
It gets a bit old to click on a deal and it is gone into deal oblivion.
13 Answers answer
Cleaned up my whopping four deals that I've posted since my last clean up. I helped!
I also went through a couple Wootbot pages....that's a job that will need a few people.
EDIT: I'll get pages 10-20 done over the next couple days, if we want to start dividing sections to take.
@thedogma: I finished 1saleaday. Not done tattling yet!!
Thanks for the help!
expired a few of my expired/way too old deals
I think I just found a new online time sink; I already found a good handful of expired deals in just a few minutes going through target.com items. Strangely fun.
i was doing way more than 10 a day. more than 10 pages a day on average. trying to clean up the 2010 deals (yes most are dead). then i get this email from jumbo saying that i tattled one that was still live. ok. whatever. then i offer to slow down tattling to help give them a chance to catch up. to which i was told "we already dealt with those". so i went back and checked. on the first page of 15 deals there were 11 deals that i included in my response email. to which jay johnson then responded with "well, they are still active tho the price has since dropped, so they should probably be reposted" at which point i point out that they would technically be a dup but his response was no, because the price is different. at this point i decided that it wasn't worth the fight and i washed my hands of deals and tattling completely.
i had already went thru the entirety of 2009, and jan, feb, march, and april of 2010. (yes, took months). they lost me.
@moosezilla: So sorry to hear what happened to you. You did a great service and ended up getting shot down. Do understand your dismay. :-(
Personally, I think they want to keep dead deals open. When you mouse over the "Community Sourced Deals" at the top of the page it says:
"328,946 deals (and counting) from around the web, shared and ranked from a community of deal fiends like you"
That statement tells me they're looking for high numbers and don't care if they're valid deals or not. Perhaps to them it's a numbers game - the more the better to help entice sponsored deals. Or 'clicks'. Maybe what they don't 'get' is potential customers/fiends who click on various deals, find so many of them invalid and decide not to come back to search or buy. Not worth the frustration.
@moosezilla: scoundrels.
I'll see if I can get to a few :)
Old deals never die, they just fade from the popular page.
@okham: They die...Silver Bullets? Head Removal? Wooden Stake? Tattle-Tipped Arrow?
SOMETHING has to work!!!
You know, if people would just expire their own deals this wouldn't be an issue. I don't add very many deals; but when I do I'm sure to expire them when they're no longer valid. I also try go through once a week and do a search for "today only deals" within that week and tattle on them. I think every bit helps.
@morriea: I believe you must assault them with an anti-deal, like throwing the HAMMACHER SCHLEMMER catalog at them...
I did about 10 yesterday....I'm exhausted! ;)

Unanswered: Infinite List DOM Nodes - ST2.1
I'm trying to make an infinite list with alternating rows highlighted. The problem I'm having is there is an odd number of nodes in the list's DOM tree. When the first node wraps back around, there are two highlighted nodes next to each other. It seems the easiest solution is to render an even number of list item nodes - is it possible to set the number nodes that are rendered?

I have never supported the death penalty. There are so many problems with its use and (at best) questionable effectiveness that, in my view, it has never been worth enforcing. Something in my conscience forced me to remain silent on this issue for fear that a situation might one day occur where I would want the penalty available. The events of Marathon week 2013 meet my criteria, and many others who hold similar feelings.
There is no excuse for "his" actions. He was smart and he planned out everything rationally. He shot a police officer in his face just to take his gun. He placed his weapon of mass destruction next to a 7-year-old boy who had a heart of gold. Now "he" is an unremorseful defendant who despises the very country who gave him safety and a full life.
It is so uniquely malicious what he did, how he did it and why he did it that if he isn't put to death then our justice system is broken. This may seem to be based on emotion only. It's not.
We can't changed what has already happened, but we can honor the survivors, the victims and their families by providing them with a sense of justice. They had no control over what happened to them. So let us as a country give them control over what happens from here forward.
Attorney General Eric Holder cited his reasons for seeking the death penalty, a penalty which Holder himself has never supported. Included in his reasoning were the opinions of victims of the attack. They were asked how they felt about the death penalty. The United States government has put to death only three people in the past 50 years. This speaks to how uniquely reprehensible "his" actions were.
It is true that it is an act of compassion and true strength to show mercy on those who seemingly deserve it the least. Many people believe that we don't honor the dead by killing another. To this I would respond, is it possible that the dead would feel honored by the killing of the offender? And even if you would argue that it wouldn't, this doesn't address the feelings of the survivors who are missing legs and the mothers and fathers who are missing their children. They matter too.
These fallen heroes and living inspirations to the greater Boston area, and to our country, deserve the very best. They are a better judge of what should be done than any government, any law and any ideological position. What the rest of society (including myself) wants, means little to me. I only ask that, moving forward, our government and the media be thoughtful and careful not to re-victimize these people all over again.

Notorious changes in the American lexicon
Lusty, robust, flexible and changing.
Our American English is ever changing. It is a lusty, robust, flexible and comprehensive communications tool. The printed words can whisper or shout. After more than four centuries, we can still understand the plays of William Shakespeare. Yet, pay attention, and you will see our language change before your eyes and ears.
Some of those changes in words or phrases are bothersome. Notorious in my memory and dictionary connotes a bad reputation. Henry the VIII of England, who managed to chop off his queen's head as a substitute for divorce, was a notorious husband. The trend nowadays in carelessly written stories or headlines, is to use it as a substitute for famous. Right beside notorious is infamous, as another careless substitute for famous. In my lexicon, infamous takes me right back to Henry VIII.
Another bit of careless usage is the phrase "very unique." Ugh. Unique suggests one of a kind or in a class by itself. Very unique, very one of a kind? I don't think so.
Our changing Anglo-Saxon English was modified by Norse invaders, who settled in the Danelaw on the northwest coast of England. They made a different contribution than the Vikings, who settled Norman France and conquered Anglo-Saxon England and introduced French and other Latin-based languages.
"Guys and Dolls," a great musical, translated Ring Lardner's vivid writing into stage entertainment. There was no question as to which were the guys and which were the dolls. Our restaurant servers have helped change the language and guys no longer denotes gender. We have not yet settled into these gender changes. Chairman may now be male or female.
Speaking of waitpersons, those important folks who can add much to the enjoyment of a meal, they used to be waitresses or waiters, they have introduced new meaning to the phrase, "No problem." "May I have another glass of water? "No problem." I should hope not. I know they mean, "I'll be happy to refill your glass," or "My pleasure." No problem sounds like the plumbing has been fixed, or the utility bill has been paid.
Right along with "no problem" is a phrase of fairly recent vintage that is popular on talk radio and television guest interviews. It is a flag to listeners. "Hey, listen up, I am going to shift direction and start a new paragraph, and tell you what I really think." You know the phrase: "that being said." And the speaker is off and running about what they really want to say. It may go something like this. "The president has a lot on his plate and does not always get the best advice, that being said, it is hard to understand how he could have let this get so messed up."
An extra word popular in the Midwest for starting sentences is "So."
After a while, you can tune it out when a conversation begins. So, I think I will go to the grocery store. So, we might stop for gas. So, are you planning to go to the ball game?
Anxious. We used to think it meant concerned or uneasy about a course of action. "Anxious about our friend, after his three drinks at the bar, we looked for someone to drive him home." Now, it often means eager, as in, "We are anxious to visit you this summer."
If you don't hang around teenagers, you will just have to trust me on this one. Sick does not mean what you think.
If your grandchildren come for a visit this summer and say your pool is really sick, take my word for it, they are telling you, it is wonderful fun.
I know a lot of you welcomed this column. Just want you to know. No problem.

Tallest Buildings in the World
7 of 11
Two International Finance Centre
Hong Kong
International Finance Centre is composed of two skyscrapers: Tower One and Tower Two. The complex sits on the waterfront of the island's Central District. Airport Express Hong Kong Station, which is part of the city's mass transit system and links the financial district and the airport, is located directly below International Finance Centre. Tower One, which is 689 feet (210 m) tall and 38 stories, houses financial institutions. Tower Two, Hong Kong's tallest building, stands 1,362 ft (415 m) tall and rises 88 stories. Architect Cesar Pelli designed the enormous obelisk, which was completed in 2003.
Fun Fact: Several financial institutions operate out of the building, which boasts trading floors with 22-foot ceilings.

I have successfully bound a circle to my marker using google map api v3. I know this because if I make the marker dragable the circle moves as well.
How can I refer to the circle if the marker is clicked. I need to show the circle if not visible or vice-versa.
Here is the code to create the marker and circle
var markerOptions = {
title: title,
icon: markerImage,
shadow: markerShadow,
position: latlng,
map: map
var marker = new google.maps.Marker(markerOptions);
// Add a Circle overlay to the map.
var circle = new google.maps.Circle({
map: map,
radius: 50*1609.34,// 50 MI
visible: false
//circle.bindTo('map', marker);
circle.bindTo('center', marker, 'position');
I found an answer on stackoverflow that led me to think I needed to do the rem'd out map binding as well the center binding, but that did not work.
Here is my click event for the marker.
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function() {
var infowindowOptions = {
content: html
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow(infowindowOptions);
infowindow.open(map, marker);
marker.circle({visible: true});
Any ideas. I need to interact with the bound circle of the marker that was just clicked or moused over.

GREENVILLE, S.C. – Using a pair of runs in each half, top-seeded and 13th-ranked Lincoln Memorial held off third-seeded Anderson, 76-71, to claim the 2014 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Men's Basketball Championship Sunday afternoon at Timmons Arena.
Lincoln Memorial (27-2) also claimed the regular-season championship, becoming the first team to win both to claim both the regular season and conference tournament titles since the Railsplitters accomplished the feat in 2011. LMU was making its second consecutive SAC Tournament Championship appearance and earned its second title in four years.
Anderson (22-9), bidding for its first South Atlantic Conference Tournament title in its second championship appearance in three years, will be looking for an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament's Southeast Region, with the Railsplitters earning the league's automatic bid to next week's tourney.
LMU forward Vincent Bailey led the Railsplitters with 19 points, including 12 in the first half, and pulled down nine rebounds. Guard Tim Pierce added 15 points, while guard Luquon Choice chipped in 14 points.
Anderson senior guard Chandler Hash posted a game-high 32 points, including 19 in the first half, with fellow guard CJ Gleaton tossing in 23 points and grabbing a team-best six boards.
The Railsplitters scored the first five points of the contest, but the Trojans countered with a 17-2 run, taking their first lead of the game on a driving bank shot from Gleaton. The 6-foot-3 guard helped fuel the surge with eight points, while Hash added seven.
LMU's Bailey snapped the run with a jumper at the 11:51 mark and guard Curtis Webb, along with Pierce, followed with back-to-back 3-pointers to pull the top-seeded Railsplitters back within 17-15 midway through the opening half.
Bailey's traditional three-point play just prior to the third media break, part of a 23-2 outburst, gave LMU its first lead since the 15:20 mark, at 22-19, and the Railsplitters pushed out to a 30-19 lead with just more than five minutes left in the half.
Hash ended the outburst with a pair of deep treys and trimmed the deficit to five with 4:09 left in the opening frame, while LMU pushed back out to a 33-25 lead before AU responded with seven of the final nine points of the half, as the Railsplitters took a 35-32 edge to the locker rooms.
Hash opened the second frame with back-to-back 3s to give the Trojans a brief 37-35 advantage, as the lead changed hands three times in the opening moments of the final stanza half.
Behind Bailey and guard Lorenza Ross, LMU opened a pair of eight-point leads and built an 11-point advantage midway through the half on Bailey's lay-in.
AU trimmed the LMU lead to 60-53 on Gleaton's drive with less than six minutes on the clock, but Curtis Million answered on the other end with a traditional 3-point play to rebuild LU's double-digit lead.
Anderson closed within four on Jones' 3-pointer with 36 seconds remaining and after LMU connected on just 2-of-4 from the line, Gleaton drained a trey from the right corner to get the Trojans within 74-71, but the late rally was not enough, as LMU held off the Trojans by grabbing offensive rebounds.

In Forbidden Island, if a player (not pilot or diver) is stranded on a tile with all surrounding tiles sunk, is the game lost or can he be rescued? Can he give away his treasure to a pilot or diver such that other players win but he (personally) dies?

If a player is stranded on a lone island piece, then they can still be moved using a Helicopter Lift card. Note these can be played by anyone, on anyone's turn, to fly a stranded player to safety (e.g. to Fool's Landing).
If no one has a Helicopter Lift card by the time the island piece needs to be removed from the board, then the player drowns (and everyone loses). On page 7 of the rules under Pawns on Flooded Tiles:
One special case to note is if the tile has to be removed and you have a helicopter card. In this case you can save the sinking player as clarified by Matt Leacock in this Board Game Geek thread.
Note however that you may not use a Sandbags card for this purpose, as specified in the rules:
Remember that all players win or lose together, so if one player drowns but the others survive then it still counts as a loss.
I don't think I agree with tttppp's answer - assuming he is saying that you can't use a Helicopter Lift in response to a tile sinking. The rules for special action cards state:
Yes, there is a specific rule that says you can't use your Sandbag cards reactively to a Flood, but I don't think that implies that Helicopter cards can't be used reactively: quite the reverse if anything.
Other than that I agree with the other answers. You can't win Forbidden Island if any member of your team dies, but there are normally ways out of a tight spot... at least until the waters rise to the point of no return.

Reading on the tropical approach to enumerative geometry I have come across the claim: given a projective toric surface from a polygon P, we can consider a tautological bundle of algebraic / holomorphic functions with newton polygon contained in P (i.e. take functions that in the dense torus can be written as a combination of monomial corresponding only to points in P).
The claim I've come across (in Mikhalkin's paper [1] (section on severi varieties) or in Shustin's book [2] (proof of lemma 2.42 page 59-61) is that if we take the zeroes of such a function from our bundle, then in the general case it is a curve that is transversal to the boundary divisors of the toric surface. Moreover, "Any curve (which is not a toric divisor) crosses at least two toric divisors; take the Newton polygon of a curve equation, then its intersections with the toric divisors are as follows: for each side of that Newton polygon equipped with the outer normal, take the parallel supporting line for the polygon P defining the toric surface, if the intersection is a vertex, then the curve passes through the corresponding intersection point of toric divisors, if the intersection is a side, then the curve crosses the corresponding toric divisor; for a Newton segment (binomial curve), we take it twice - with both normals." [I quote an explanation given to me on what are 'rules' of intersection]
A) I could not find any proof or explanation why it is true. I am currently less interested in a fully rigorous proof but more in an explanation why this is true.
B) Another question come to my mind, does any other curve on the toric surface must come from zeroes of a function from the tautological bundle? if not, why do authors focus so much on curves that are zeroes of this bundle in the context of counting curves via n points? (i.e. GW invariants)?
And i apologize if this was a bit cumbersome way of asking my question, when things are not clear enough, even asking properly is somewhat difficult :)

Watch for black ice.
As a handy companion to Giordana's Nordic Anti-Vento Gloves, the Giordana Nordic Anti-Vento Shoe Covers are designed to keep your feet warm and comfy in the equivalent of gale force Irish winds. Incorporating a membrane of WindTex around the entire foot, these booties will keep your feet supremely warm by preventing the wind from draining all your body heat away from your tootsies. Add to that a neoprene toe cover and you'll have no troubles with numb or frozen feet even after a cold, windy ride in the depths of December.
They have also made use of their effective CamLock zipper system to seal up the rear opening. It is nice and large when unzipped so that you can enjoy an easy entry for your feet, but then it will close securely and stay that way once you zip up and head out for the ride. Add to that a Velcro ankle closure and you'll be able to protect your lowest extremity for the duration of your winter training. And the CamLock zipper is reflective, so that all the traffic behind you will be alerted to your presence on the road.
The Giordana Nordic Anti-Vento Shoe Covers are available in Black and come in sizes Small through X-Large.

Reviews & Community
Great shoe cover.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
While the zip can make custom fit a little more tricky the size chart is true to size and they fit well. Warm enough for a colder day (think low 40's) but when it comes to freezing cold winter rides I switch to a warmer cover.
Toasty and dry
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I wore these on a cold windy day this winter (just above freezing) and they kept my toes warm and dry! Not too hard to put on and take off.
Nordic? Not likely....
Giordana makes high quality cycling gear, and sizing was spot on for my cycling shoes, however the labeling of "Nordic" seemed to give this product much more credit that it deserves. These were really ONLY shoe covers, and really lacked sufficient insulation for anything that might be considered adverse or inclement weather.
Additionally, I am not a fan of zippers in the back of cycling booties as nine times outta 10 the zipper blows out and doesn't last longer than a single season.
My experience is completely different regarding zippers. I'm on the site shopping for new shoe covers b/c my Descente shoe covers from the year 2000 have finally become so worn that the toe part flips up over my foot. A true YKK zipper and plenty of reinforcement on heel and toes has ensured this longevity.
Breathable, not overheating
I have worn these with both mountain and road bike setups with good results. The Nordic AV is breathable and wind stopping, but not heavily insulated. I've still experienced chilly toes during rides around freezing (that said, my toes are always the first part of my body to get cold, regardless of footwear.) The cleat cutout is a generous size, and I was surprised how well it fit over my cleated mountain bike shoes, and even stood up well to hiking through some of the steep stuff.
I consider this shoe cover ideal for temps in the 35-50 degree range. At colder temps it might stave off frostbite, but there are warmer booties out there. But for a shoe cover you won't find yourself tearing off as soon as the sun crests the ridgeline, this would be a great choice.

OCD occurs when cartilage
cells do not develop correctly
and result in thickened areas of
cartilage that separate or crack
from the attached bone. Large
cartilage flaps may form or small
pieces of cartilage may break off
and float free in the joint causing
limping or reluctance to bear
weight on the affected limb.
The exact cause is not known,
but heredity, joint trauma, rapid
growth, and poor nutrition are
thought to have some bearing on
the development of this condition.
Veterinarians suspect OCD
when a young dog comes in with
sudden, painful lameness. He will
manipulate the dog's affected leg, and
take an x-ray to verify the diagnosis.
Conservative treatments
include cage rest with leash walks
for 4 to 8 weeks in combination with
medications like carprofen (Rimadyl)
or other anti-inflammatories. In most
cases, however, surgery is performed
to remove the affected cartilage.

Checking into the pricing discrepancy.
You stated the price at $89.99. But at the site it is $231.99.
What Gives???????
Sorry about that everyone! Looks like we had a technical difficulty. Price has been changed. Check it out.
I would charge the original $1,150, you would make a lot more money that way ;)
Hello everyone! Please let us know if you have any questions about this deal - we are standing by, ready to help! :)
That's 1,150 Kroner, not Dollars.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Alabama junior left-handed pitcher Jon Keller was named the Southeastern Conference Co-Pitcher of the Week, as announced by the conference office on Monday. In his only appearance of the week, Keller threw a complete game against No. 9 Ole Miss on Sunday.
Making his seventh appearance and fourth start of the season, Keller threw a complete game as the Tide defeated ninth-ranked Ole Miss 3-1, completing the first sweep of the Rebels since 2006. Over the nine innings, he allowed one run on seven hits with eight strikeouts and three walks.
Keller set a career-high by throwing all nine innings, surpassing his previous career-high of seven innings. After allowing a run, three hits and a pair of walks through the first two innings, Keller blanked the Rebels over the final seven innings, which included seven strikeouts, on walk and four singles over that stretch.
Keller leads the Tide in innings pitched with 42 and with a 5-1 record he ranks third in the SEC in this season. After allowing one run on Sunday, he has a 1.50 ERA for the season. In his four starts, he's 2-1 with a 1.71 ERA with 21 strikeouts and four walks in 26.1 innings.
Keller shared the weekly pitcher of the week award with Missouri's Keaton Steele. South Carolina's Grayson Greiner was this week's player of the week and Georgia's Robert Tyler was the conference freshman of the week.
The Crimson Tide returns to the diamond on Tuesday night with a game against the UL-Monroe Warhawks, with first pitch scheduled for 6:05 p.m. CT from Sewell-Thomas Stadium.

Having to escape forwardslashes when using sed can be a pain. However, it's possible to instead of using / as the separator to use : .
I found this by trying to substitute $PWD into my pattern, like so
sed "s/~.*/$PWD/" file.txt
Of course, $PWD will expand to a character string that begins with a / , which will make sed spit out an error such as "sed: -e expression #1, char 8: unknown option to `s'".
So simply changing it to
sed "s:~.*:$PWD:" file.txt
did the trick.
Since the original command (#1873) didn't work on FreeBSD whose stat lacks the "-c" switch, I wrote an alternative that does. This command shows also the fourth digit of octal format permissions which yields the sticky bit information.

I wanted all the 'hidden' .flv files from the http link in the command line; wget seemed appropriate, fed with output from lynx, grep the flv files and the normalised via sed (to remove the numeric bullet). Similar to the 'Grab mp3 files' fu. Replace link with your own, grep arg with something more interesting ;) See here for something along the same lines...
Hope you find it useful! Improvements welcome, naturally.
Useful if you f.i. want to block/allow all connections from a certain provider which uses successive netnames for his ip blocks. In this example I used the german Deutsche Telekom which has DTAG-DIAL followed by a number as netname for the dial in pools.
There are - as always ;) - different ways to do this. If you have seq available you can use
net=DTAG-DIAL ; for i in `seq 1 30`; do whois -h whois.ripe.net $net$i | grep '^inetnum:' | sed "s;^.*:;$net$i;" ; done
or without seq you can use bash brace expansion
net=DTAG-DIAL ; for i in {1..30}; do whois -h whois.ripe.net $net$i | grep '^inetnum:' | sed "s;^.*:;$net$i;" ; done
or if you like while better than for use something like
net=DTAG-DIAL ; i=1 ; while true ; do whois -h whois.ripe.net $net$i | grep '^inetnum:' | sed "s;^.*:;$net$i;" ; test $i = 30 && break ; i=$(expr $i + 1) ; done
and so on.
Strangely enough, there is no option --lines=[negative] with tail, like the head's one, so we have to use sed, which is very short and clear, you see.
Strangely more enough, skipping lines at the bottom with sed is not short nor clear. From Sed one liner :
# delete the last 10 lines of a file
$ sed -e :a -e '$d;N;2,10ba' -e 'P;D' # method 1
$ sed -n -e :a -e '1,10!{P;N;D;};N;ba' # method 2
When you've got a list of numbers each on its row, the ECHO command puts them on a simple line, separated by space. You can then substitute the spaces with an operator. Finally, pipe it to the BC program.
I'm pretty sure everyone has curl and sed, but not everyone has lynx.
Display the amount of memory used by all the httpd processes. Great in case you are being Slashdoted!
slashdot.org webserver adds an X-Bender or X-Fry HTTP header to every response!
On a Gentoo system, this command will tell you which packets you have installed and sort them by how much space they consume. Good for finding out space-hogs when tidying up disk space.
Useful for deleting old unused log files.
This command will generate "CHECK TABLE `db_name.table_name` ;" statements for all tables present in databases on a MySQL server, which can be piped into the mysql command. (Can also be altered to perform OPTIMIZE and REPAIR functions.)
Tested on MySQL 4.x and 5.x systems in a Linux environment under bash.
Convert comma separated files to tab separated files.
(MySQL eats tab separated files with much less instruction than comma seperated files.)

In writing my senior thesis I met the following problem: Sometimes I have some intuition about some mathematical statement. Yet I find it extremely painful trying to put these intuition into precise form on paper. In particular it is very hard to specify the correct condition for statement.
Does anyone have some tips for me in doing so? How do you often do it?
Let me elaborate a bit further. I believe it is an experience that any mature mathematician must have went through. We want to go to D, and we need to go through A, B, C. But A can not be stated clearly until one knows B, B can not be stated clearly until one knows A and C, and C can not be stated clearly until one knows B. But we sort of have a vague picture of A, B, C in our mind. It sounds very stupid, but I don't know where to start.
I wonder if this question is too vague for MO. So please close it if you see fit.
