Discussion, Best Practices for Source Control with Architect in a team environment.
The Problem:
The company I'm working for, have started a rather large project, which is going to live on Ext, for the most part. Getting started, were finding it a difficult task, to work with source control (in our case Team Foundation Services). It would be easy enough, for one developer, As they could just check out the entire project, and avoid, saving/deployment issues with Architect. (TFS locks files you don't have checked out) and architect, tends to always at the vary least save, app.html, and several meta files, every time you save. We also have set up the deployment, to deploy, to a parallel directory, were our Server side code is (ASP.NET MVC). Were having a vary hard time, checking code in, out, without completely over writing, someone else changes. or check in's failing. in this case because, in order for concurrent development, developers have had to "unlock" there folders, which TFS, does not check in these files in, because they weren't thought to be checked out in the first place. it does note that there different, in the logs, but does not handle them in a vary strait forward manner.
Main question:
So my question, to you guys is, how do you currently implement Architect, and Source control in your team environments, and what suggestions would you make in how we could improve ours. and which files have you found necessary, to keep in/out of source control.
First thought:
Some idea's I've had, is to just do the GUI in Architect, and do everything else in another IDE. But several of the developers are new to ExtJS, and Architect is an annoying, but great learning tool.

So the easiest question to answer here is that we currently use Git and Github for our source control.
We'd love to hear where the major pain points are. What's not merging most often?
At the end of the day like all editors Architect produces files. The important files are metadata which tell Architect all about the project. These files are in fact just JSON which should be fairly merge-able provided 3+ engineers haven't made changes to it all at the same time and then will take some human intervention.
Your thoughts
I've heard this argument before but every day we're adding more features that will make this less and less valid. An example is that when you upgrade projects from framework N.1 to N.2 we make several passes through to ensure your code is updated to the latests APIs. We're also adding loads of smarts to update event listeners and controller actions when parameters change so you don't have to. Furthermore the code editor is going to morph into a more productive tool on each major release getting more and more out of your way while aiding you even further.
It's my job to make Architect less and less annoying! ;p 2.2 is looking like a major leap forward in responsiveness including the code editor. Typing at max speed should feel more fluid. I can't give a way all our secrets, but I think you'll find developing in Architect will pay dividends.
I have a feeling perhaps I'm not addressing the real pain point so more information on that is helpful. Is the issue that you don't know which files to checkout? If files are marked as read only I do know that Architect will warn you that it could not save certain files.
Finally, I'm going to have Bruno chime in and give some feedback on how he and a large team are managing a very large project in Architect.Phil Strong

Down the road, once we've gotten, things in a semi working state, have most of our views, models, stores, defined, and decided on the best controller structure, I don't see this being a huge problem. but right now, getting started, over the past few weeks. There's many of points, where all of us, might have made changes to the same controller. And with how Architect currently, keeps the files into memory (which i understand is supposed to be changed in the future, in detecting changes), It's hard to, for example using TFS, to have one person check in a file, and another "get latest version" without loosing changes they might have made to the same file.
We originally started using git, on prior projects (VB, C# in Visual studio), but found, that its merge tools were difficult to use, especially in tandem with keeping dependencies/ binary files (outside of the build process), without huge merge conflicts that were hard to solve.
On a side note, are we going to see code completion in Code View, and in line property editing in "read only" Code View?
17 Oct 2012 6:09 AM #5
Ah, the churn of a new project! I do want to know if it's easy/med/hard to understand the meta files and how to merge conflicts? Anything that could be done to make it easier?
Oh boy you know a lot about potential future product features!
Git and binaries = bad
Some have stopped checking in binary files and just check in their hashes. This allows you to detect changes to them. Others simply use SVN for binaries and git for all else. Anyways the point of this post isn't to convince you of one VCS or another.
2.2 will see improvements to how Architect handles outside file changes. Other features I'm unable to reveal to much as we don't have a public road map.Phil Strong

Merging conflicts, is not so much hard as it is tedious. Though I can't say I have run into any actual Merge conflicts myself, in regards to the meta files.
As far as understanding the metadata, file. the meta files are structured in a reasonably understandable structure, though some kind of reference to more obscured parameter names (Eg.: cn, codeClass, what designerId guid represents). which could be helpful, in solving certain merge conflicts.
Why did Sencha decided to take this meta-file approach. Don't most IDE's work with the source files themselves? Its confusing, being on the Architect product page it says "There are no file dependencies. Architect produces regular JavaScript files that you can edit with your choice of IDEs.". I consider as far as moving between the two, the metadata files a dependency, Of course we can use the overload feature, but the overload feature seams more like a crutch then, a meaningful IDE compatibility.
What benefits did you see by using the metadata structure, as apposed to, the raw code, and what prevented it from being done in a detached manner?
More on topic though, I'm looking forward, if he will, to Bruno's feedback as you mentioned earlier.
p.s. any criticism is, meant to be constructive. I mean no disrespect, Your product is great tool, and I look forward to seeing it grow.

My team is having the exact same problems/struggles. We use Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) for version control. We develop all of our server side code in Visual Studio and Sencha Architect for the UI. We had to create (as the OP mentioned) a parallel "sencha" directory to store the architect files and another directory within the Visual Studio server side project to store the output files from sencha architect as the VS project is what is published to production. We have to manually check files in/out hoping not to overwrite another devs changes because architect doesn't recognize changes to local files or read-only flags.
We still have not found a good solution. For now, we first have to place the sencha architect solution in a central location so that both devs have access to the same project. Publishing is directed back to our local TFS projects where we have to manually check-out the file being worked on via TFS. All team members have to agree on when to check-in the sencha architect project into TFS.
A big pain point and struggle right now. Single dev, no problem. Two or more... not so good.

OS level readonly should kick back to Architect saying not able to save these files ... no?Phil Strong
19 Oct 2012 7:40 AM #9
Yes, it does show the error.
The problem here is, that regardless if you edited a file or not, All the meta files are regenerated when you save the project.
So, Everything returns an error saying it failed to save.
Not to mention, being the "locking" metaphor that TFS uses. makes it extremely difficult. with meta data, to, confirm, if your file in fact did save, with this wall of text hitting you when you save. even if you knew exactly what meta file you edited, and prior to saving, had gone into Team Explorer, and checked out said file, so the person could write to it in the first place.
I guess most of us, are just used to working in an environment, where if you edited a file in Visual studio, it would automatically check out the file for you, or warn you that another person already has the file checked out, on the fly. instead of manually having to check out the file. Maybe there's a way with TFS, to set it up, to use a merging metaphor, for the folder, the project sits in, instead of a check in check out metaphor.
If you guys are willing to troubleshoot the issue in house, I'd suggest setting up a test server, with TFS Express, its free, and will give you working environment, to see first hand the issue's were having with it.
19 Oct 2012 7:47 PM #10
Only the metadata files that have changes should be affected. If you find this to be not true please report it as it's a bug.Phil Strong

Box Score | Game Notes
HOUSTON (February 4, 2013) – Four different players recorded their first goals of the season for the Rampage, as San Antonio (20-22-0-4) defeated the Houston Aeros (22-17-4-3), 5-2, on Monday night at the Toyota Center to kick off the team's nine-game, 21-day Rodeo Road Trip.
Zach Hamill, Brendon Nash, Jed Ortmeyer and Mike Santorelli all lit the lamp for the first time in the Silver and Black. Hamill, Ortmeyer and Santorelli were all playing in their second game for the Rampage. Nash was in his first game back from an injury which kept him out six-straight games.
The victory marked the first back-to-back win for the Rampage since the team's three-game winning streak from Dec. 29-Jan. 3. The Rampage had alternated wins and losses in their last 11 games.
Netminder Dov Grumet-Morris made 28 saves to earn the victory in his first start since Jan. 12 against Texas.
In a penalty-filled first period, the Rampage held the Aeros to 0-for-4 on the power play, while San Antonio was 1-for-3 with the man advantage. San Antonio's penalty kill was tested early, as the Rampage found themselves down two men for 42 seconds early in the game. The Rampage held strong and kept all the action away from Grumet-Morris.
It was the Rampage who cashed in on the power play at 7:33 of the opening frame. Hamill, who the Rampage acquired in a trade last week, won an offensive zone faceoff and went to the net. He corralled a rebound and fired it past Matt Hackett to give the Rampage a 1-0 lead. Andre Deveaux and Greg Rallo collected assists on the goal.
The Rampage outshot the Aeros, 17-8, in the opening frame, which was the most shots San Antonio has recorded in one period since recording 21 shots in the first period on Jan. 11 against Lake Erie. In comparison, San Antonio recorded a total of 19 shots on goal in Friday's 1-0 win over Rockford on Pink in the Rink Night.
Nash extended the Rampage lead to 2-0 at 2:43 of the second period with a blast from the point that made its way through traffic. The goal was Nash's first of the year for the Rampage in his first game back from an injury which kept him out of the lineup for six games. Hamill picked up his second point of the game with an assist on the goal. Rookie forward Jonathan Hazen also picked up a helper on the goal.
Aeros leading scorer Jason Zucker made it a 2-1 game with a power-play goal at 5:18 of the second period. Zucker leads the Aeros in scoring against the Rampage this season with five goals and five assists in seven games.
Rampage forward Jed Ortmeyer made it 3-1 with a goal against his former team at 1:26 of the third period. Ortmeyer gathered a turnover by Hackett at the bottom of the left faceoff circle and fired the sharp angle shot into the net for his first goal of the season for the Rampage.
Ortmeyer lit the lamp once again at 5:09 to open a three-goal lead. The Rampage rushed up the ice on a 3-on-1 and Ortmeyer crashed the net, deflecting it past Hackett. Initially the goal was waived off, but after the officials reviewed the play, it was deemed a goal.
Houston responded 49 seconds later with a goal of their own to make it 4-2. Grumet-Morris made the first save on the play, but was unable to turn aside the rebound.
Grumet-Morris made a fantastic glove save at the midway point of the third period to keep it a two-score game. Justin Fontaine found himself open in the slot while on the power play, but Grumet-Morris flashed the leather and denied Fontaine on the doorstep.
Santorelli became the fourth Rampage player in the game to tally his first goal of the season for the Silver and Black when he lit the lamp while shorthanded at 11:46. Santorelli picked up an Aeros turnover at the Rampage blueline and waited out Hackett before tucking the puck behind him.
The Rampage finished the game 1-for-9 on the power play, while Houston was 1-for-8 with the man advantage. The Aeros won the shot battle, 30-28, on the night.
The Rampage will continue their Rodeo Road trip this weekend, when they will travel to Charlotte for a pair of games against the Checkers. Saturday's puck drop is set for 6:00 p.m., while Sunday's game will kick off at 2:00 p.m.
The Silver and Black will return to AT&T Center on Saturday, March 2 at 7:00 p.m. to host their annual Military Appreciation Night. Individual and season tickets 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 am self-studying Complex Analysis and I am suppose to find $z\in \mathbb{C}$ such that $\sin z=100.$ I know that $$\sin z=\sin x \cosh y+i\cos x\sinh y$$
So I must have $\sin x \cosh y=100.$ I looked in Wolfram and I found that $y=i(x-\sin^{-1}(100))$. I was not able to solve this question. How does one find that solution? If fact, I was not expecting to find $y$ in function of $x$.

Never been able to fully grasp the notion of delete input/delete input all when backup up Archivelog with rman.
Tied to the same issue is the configure Archivelog deletion policy to backed up X times to disk.
Deleting input, or deleting input all, seems counterintuitive to me when the deletion policy is set to 7 times to match an overall backup policy of 7 days.
Is there anyone here who can explain to someone who may be just a little dense how this all plays together? And what should the Archivelog deletion policy be if the goal is to have one week's worth of backups available at all times? All backups are weekly backed up to a tape drive. With seven days as overall, and 7 times on Archivelog deletions policy, am I backing it up 7 times or 7 times 7 times?
Thank you for any help anyone can offer……

Ford Returns To Its RootsWritten by Thom Taylor on January 10, 2014 Contributors: HRM Archives Why Dearborn's '15 NHRA Drag-Racing Strategy Is the Best Thing to Happen to Grassroots Racers in 50 Years
To say Ford invented drag racing isn't entirely true -- but it's close. Whether it was the old Model T bangers racing two (or three) abreast at the lakes, or flathead Fords facing off at places like Santa Ana and Pomona, Ford has participated in quarter-mile racing action from the very beginning. Now Ford has announced it's halting sponsorship of professional Top Fuel, Funny Car, and Pro Stock drag race teams after 2014. How can that be?
Ford's motorsport dollars helped fund drag racing from the early days. It helped bring Top Fuel racing into the national spotlight with the rise of the SOHC motors in the mid- to late-'60s with drivers like Connie Kalitta and Sneaky Pete Robinson. It created the Ford Drag Council and a fleet of 427ci '65 Mustang fastbacks that dominated the Stock and F/X classes. Ford's DNA led to the gestation of the Funny Car genre with the supercharged, nitromethane-burning Comets of Dyno Don Nicholson and Jack Chrisman. And who could forget Bob Glidden in Pro Stock? Formerly the winningest driver in NHRA drag racing, supplanted only recently by another Ford-sponsored driver -- and probably the most famous -- John Force.
Ford's reasons for leaving professional drag racing are many: diminishing return on investment, a disconnect from product research and development relevancy, and customer outreach. Ford's reevaluating the old axiom "win on Sunday, sell on Monday," and here's why that's good news for you.
Ford Wants to Invest in You
The truth is Ford is not getting out of drag racing. Not the drag racing you do, just the drag racing you watch other people do. In fact, the elimination of the dollar drain from funding professional teams could mean you're Ford's next payee through one of its Ford Racing or Cobra Jet Mustang programs.
Says Ford Racing's Jesse Kershaw, "We are planning a roll-out of a new contingency program for 2014 that focuses on our sportsman racers, the guys who are taking their cars to test-and-tune nights, to SCCA Solo events, all the way to the NHRA champions. We take sportsman racing seriously and want to be the manufacturer of choice."
All-New '15 Cobra Jet Mustang
And the best news of all that has come out from this is that Ford is already well into developing the all-new '15 Mustang Cobra Jet, so Ford is all-in for the foreseeable future. "We already have nearly 50 placeholder orders for the '15 vehicle, and we haven't officially announced it yet," Kershaw says. "The excitement around Cobra Jet and production-based racing continues to grow."
Will This Change NHRA Forever?
While the hot rodder will find Ford's news intriguing, the Ford pullout should be a wakeup call for the NHRA. Beyond the piecemeal complaints the blogs and pundits incessantly spout, the sport of professional drag racing generally needs a major overhaul -- top to bottom -- an entire rethink. But it won't be easy. Any changes will only hurt the smaller professional teams, since changes mean spending vast amounts of money, and other than John Force and Don Schumacher, there aren't many teams with deep revenue streams. So the process of change could slough off the lesser-funded teams and seriously undermine those staying to participate. In Pro Stock, there have already been short fields for a number of races, and there's potential that will extend to the fuel classes, as well, when race money is shifted to new racing and development efforts.
Changes will also distance drag racing from its glorious past, maybe even more than the current 1,000-foot track lengths and monotonous, pass-after-pass sterilized shows. But the NHRA needs to improve the appeal of the exciting sport that is professional drag racing. What form a new and improved NHRA might take is anybody's guess.
Still, when the NHRA decides to get introspective, every aspect of the sport should be considered -- from ticket prices to venues, sponsors to rules, to specs and categories -- it all needs an injection of new.
Drag racing used to be unpredictable, uninhibited, unhinged, and outlandish. It is the opposite today—in spite of the incredible speeds, elapsed times, and technology. Every fan has their opinion. It's America. But we don't envy NHRA President Tom Compton and the NHRA brain trust going forward. NHRA was conceived and nurtured in its early days by HOT ROD magazine, so we are the first to wish it a strong and exciting future.
Mustang Cobra Jet
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Cobra Jet, Ford Racing reintroduced the Mustang Cobra Jet with an all-new version for 2008. Since then, Ford has sold 300 of the drag-race-only Mustangs. For 2014, the Mustang Cobra Jet is powered by a supercharged 5.0L V8 with a forged crank, Manley H-beam rods, Mahle forged pistons, and fully CNC-ported heads. The body is lightened, and the suspension was designed using computer simulations to evaluate hundreds of 60-foot launches for optimal setup.
The chassis features electric power steering, a full rollcage, and Recaro FIA-spec race seats. The car is race-prepped; it is legal for NHRA Stock and Super Stock, and other race series. It is not street-legal and does not come with traditional production VIN. Instead, each Cobra Jet Mustang is serialized for its collectability potential.
National Mustang Racers Association
The NMRA holds seven events throughout the year in the East Coast and Midwest that include its Cobra Jet Showdown in Bradenton, Florida. Indexes are based on Stock or Super Stock classifications, overall weight and engine displacements, and are run on a NHRA Sportsman ladder. Safety regulations are based on the current NHRA rulebook. Quarter-, semi-, and final-round awards are in addition to contingency payouts, with an entrance fee of around $100 per event
- The NHRA indicates there are thousands of dollars in contingency money for the adventuresome amateur racer. Regional and national events see on average 60 to 80 cars per class with the Nationals opening up to 160 to 180, so there are plenty of men and women to rub shoulders with throughout the country. Ford alone offers $850 in prize money for Stock and Super Stock classes. Combined with other contingency awards, if you're competitive, you have a good chance of seeing some serious green.
- Ford's racing-only Cobra Jet Mustang was revived for '08, along with Dodge's similarly configured Challenger Drag Package, followed by Chevrolet with its '12 COPO Camaro. All three car manufacturers are committed to drag racing at the grassroots level with a drag-racing–specific car capable of competing in numerous stock classes in NHRA-, IHRA-, NMRA-, and NMCA-sanctioned events.
Mercury's Comets
Mercury sponsored three Comet Funny Cars in 1966: Eddie Shartman's, Dyno Don Nicholson's, and Jack Chrisman's quicker GT-1 topless terror. The GT-1 met its demise running off the end of National Speedway in New York after clocking an 8.63 e.t. at 176 mph. Contemporary accounts suggest that the Mercury suits in attendance told the fire crew to let it burn, as internally they felt a topless car did not resemble a standard Comet enough. They were anxious for Chrisman to switch over to his new Logghe-chassis, SOHC-motiviated, flip-top Funny Car with its body more resembling the '67 Comets. Chrisman's topless Comet would be a tough car to follow as it had an over 85 percent winning record, with one streak of more than 30 consecutive wins averaging 180-mph quarter-mile runs.
John Force for NHRA President
Maybe the silver lining of Ford's new sponsorship plans could be John Force moving from a racer's role to president of the NHRA. Seriously, think about it. He's said this about Ford's pullout, "Ford made a decision, and I respect that decision. They're a lot smarter than me." It's a funny line, but who said you need to be the smartest guy in the room to run a race sanctioning body? Whatever happened to balls? And determination? And motivation? When it comes to drag racing, he has displayed all of those qualities for decades. And he can obviously run a business.

Mickey Thompson fielded two Mustang Funny Cars for 1969, both running SOHC 427 engines. Up to this time Funny Car chassis were patterned after the Logghe Bros. style of wide tubular frames with a roll bar on top. With the help of Pat Foster and John Buttera, Thompson developed a new Funny Car configuration that has more in common with modern floppers. Foster drove the red car seen here with the blue one piloted by Danny Ongais, who won both the Springnationals and Nationals that year. Foster was involved in a tragic accident in Dallas when he lost control and ran into Gerry Schwart's "Ratty Katt" destroying both cars and killing Schwartz. Still, this was probably the most successful Funny Car effort for Ford. Glen Solarno's "Invader" Funny Car was another victim of the "Corvette curse" burning down in early '70 at Bryon Dragway.Butch Leal with a factory Thunderbolt at the '64 NHRA Winternationals. Besides winning Super Stock class at the Winters, Thunderbolts also won the HOT ROD Magazine Championship Drags, NHRA Super Stock World Championship (Gas Ronda), Indy (Butch Leal) and set the NHRA Super Stock class record (Tasca Ford) in 1964.Embryonic Funny Cars are seen in these two "Factory Experimental" Mercury Comets of Jack Chrisman and Dyno Don Nicholson, debuting at the '64 NHRA Winternationals. When Chrisman dumped a blown, injected, nitro-burning SOHC in this Comet for the Nationals, it became a car looking for a class, running against dragsters as it no longer fit into any stock-car class. With that, the Funny Car was born. Both Chrisman and Nicholson were instrumental in the development of Mercury's Funny Cars for years.For 1967 Ohio George peeled the Willys off his Gasser and planted a new Mustang body on it for what would be the beginning of the end for Gassers. What had distinguished the class was they were racing hot rods. Once new bodies started infiltrating, they looked similar to the popular Super Stocks/Pro Stocks and Funny Cars. In this 1970 shot from Indy, the car is running a twin-turbocharged Boss 429 with mechanical fuel injection. The Mustang achieved back-to-back Gatornationals wins in 1973 and 1974, running mid 8s at a whopping 175 mph.Wayne Gapp and Jack Roush (yes, NASCAR Jack Roush) racked up one win after another with their Tijuana Taxi, a '72 Maverick four-door, in 1975. Why a four-door? A loophole existed in the rules that allowed weight breaks for longer wheelbases as much as 110 inches from the standard 95-inch Vegas and Pintos. Running a 366ci Boss engine, the TJ Taxi was capable of low 8.70-second passes at more than 150 mph, but in match races it could scoot with 8.40 runs at 168 mph. With Gapp at the wheel, it won the '75 Springnationals, Summernationals, and the Molson Grandnational, and it was runner-up at the Winternationals and Gatornationals. A broken connecting rod at the last race of the season gave the '75 Pro Stock World Championship title to Bob Glidden. NHRA then cut the maximum wheelbase allowed to 100 inches, killing the TJ Taxi. It's seen here doing a mighty burnout at Bristol.As a backup plan in case the NHRA did not approve Ford's Thunderbolt program, Ford built 50 Galaxie 500 lightweight drag cars in 1964; all were equipped with its dual-carb, 425hp, 427 FE High Riser. Half of them ran Top-Loader four-speeds and half automatics. Times were so much better than the competition that the NHRA made a separate class specifically for the lightweight Fords to appease opponents. These cars came with the heater, radio, and clock deleted, fiberglass doors, fenders, trunk lid, and hoods featuring the iconic teardrop bubble. Tom Stafford in the far lane with McCoy-Mills Ford sponsorship was a Ford drag racer for years running a Mustang Cobra Jet into the '70s. Mike Schmitt ran Desert Motors sponsorship on a string of Ford drag cars. By 1965, this car was sold to Darwin Glasser in the Pacific Northwest, who ran it for a couple more decades. In 1965, the NHRA mandated that 500 cars be built to qualify for Stock class drag racing.At the '67 March Meet in Bakersfield, California, the Ford SOHC-powered Don Long dragster won. Don Prudhomme was getting used to his new Lou Baney ride, having supplanted Tom McEwen who switched to Funny Cars after growing impatient with the SOHC learning curve both he and engine builder Ed Pink were dealing with. It was at this event where the results of Prudhomme's familiarity started netting results. That's Baney on the left, Prudhomme in the middle, with engine builder Pink to the right.

Consider: $$\lim_{x \to \infty} \left(x - \ln(e^x + e^{-x})\right)$$
I wasn't sure how to treat the $\infty - \infty$ property. Can I exponentiate the function to get $$e^x - (e^x + e^{-x}) = \frac{1}{e^x}$$ $$\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{e^x} = 0$$
I feel like I have ignored the limit part of the expression when exponentiating. Do I have to exponentiate the limit expression as well when I do this or can I ignore it for the moment?

Before cooking a steak, you're supposed to let it sit out at room temperature. You're also supposed to salt it. What is the proper timing for these steps? How long do you let the steak come up to temperature, and how long before you cook it do you salt it?
In this thread, Lorenzo notes that steaks may end up raw in the center if you only leave 'em out for 10-15 minutes to come up to temperature. I recommend 30 mins, but it will probably vary on what room temperature actually is for you.
From Weber's Way To Grill, which recommends salting right when you take them out of the fridge, here's Mr. Purviance's take on why you should consider salting early:
I don't salt my steaks / marinades until after they've been served - just put salt and pepper on the table. Salt does add to the flavour, but it also sucks out moisture. By skipping the salt the steaks stay juicier and the meal is more friendly for those of us with high blood pressure.
Kenji Alt has done experiments in the The Food Lab: 7 Old Wives' Tales About Cooking Steak That Need To Go Away, and determined that bringing the steak to room temperature prior to cooking does not actually have any real effect.
It turns out that even an hour or two on the counter makes little difference to the temperature in the center of the steak.
The limiting factor for browning is the evaporating all of the surface water so that the temperature can rise above 212 F / 100 C. Due to the significant energy required for evaporation, the energy required to warm the steak from refrigerator temperature becomes insignificant.
On the other hand, when and how you salt does make a difference in the quality. The best options are to salt at least 40 minutes before cooking, or right at the time of cooking.
The reason is that if you salt 40 minutes ahead, the salt dissolves, and then the juices are reabsorbed. With less time, there is not time for reabsorption, so you would be better off waiting until the time of the cooking.
Kenji's conclusion is:
I leave them out at least 15 minutes. Salt the down side just before cooking and then the upper side just before turning it. The flavor penetration is very different from salt added after cooking and the meat stays juicy.
I usually marinate my steaks, so take 'em out about 2 hrs before and toss them in a zip-top bag coat 'em with a fair bit of worsteshire, then add in some soy sauce, seal, massage it, and leave it on the counter.
Needless to say, I don't add any extra salt, but I do pat 'em dry before cooking.
Also, I'd think that what temperature you keep your home at might be a factor (which tends to be a cultural thing) My kitchen might be anywhere from 65F to 90F depending on the time of year.
I usually take it out of the refrigerator an hour prior to cooking and salt 30 minutes prior to cooking. I think I heard these numbers from a Good Eats episode, but I could be totally mistaken on where I picked up this habit.
You can season a steak over night. I leave mine in fridge a few days before grilling.

Size is not the only thing that matters in the mating game. As society has advanced men have found countless additional reasons to be dissatisfied with their junk, and someone has always been there to sell them products that will supposedly fix it.
So how far will men go to enhance their package? To awful, horrifying lengths.
#6. Black Stone A.K.A. Toad Poison for Your Dick
Also known as Love Stone, Stone or Sweet Louisiana Frog Shit, this aphrodisiac can actually be purchased on the street from the same upstanding citizens that deal in meth, crack and other quality merchandise that you smuggle in your ass. Made from toad poison, the same ooze that will get you high from licking amphibians can also give you a raging hard-on if applied to the desired area, which is to say your crank.
Of course, the same hallucinogenic properties are present, meaning that things might start off awesome but soon degrade into an all too real nightmare of you putting the hump on a flame-spewing John Madden and not being able to understand why it's turning you on so much.
Why does it feel so right?!
If you manage to avoid a bad trip, you might still end the night in the hospital, or worse off, the morgue. The active ingredient in Stone is bufotenin, and ingesting it in anything more than microscopic amounts can result in violent stomach cramps, heart problems and eventually your undignified shuffling from this mortal coil, forever saddled with acute toad boner as a cause of death.
#5. Spanish Fly
If the toad poison doesn't work for you, then there's another horribly ill-conceived source of hope: Spanish Fly. Don't get freaked out, it's not really a fly, that'd be gross. It's just a beetle. A blister beetle. A beetle that causes blisters.
And here it is fucking... something
This legendary aphrodisiac is nothing more than ground up bug bits. What's more, the active ingredient of the stuff, cantharidin, only exists in quantities of about five percent per beetle; meaning many of their tiny exoskeletons have to be crushed to a powder to make just one shimmering, bitter tasting dose. The likelihood that each hit of Spanish Fly contains at least as much tangy insect as your average meal at Taco Bell is fairly high.
If you are willing to ingest this creepy crawling cocktail, be prepared for the results. Spanish Fly is not so much an aphrodisiac as it is a toxin that will give you a horrifyingly itchy inflammation of the genital area and a rousing case of priaprism (a hard-on that just won't quit). And who amongst us hasn't thought a night of passion would be made all the more exhilarating by the addition of horrible crotch itch and a raging poison boner?
This guy tried it. He loves it.
The bigger issue with Spanish Fly is that its effect isn't limited to your penis. That same horrifying nightmare affecting your ballsack is affecting your whole body. And if you overdose then every inch of you will be stiff once they cart your bug-addled ass to the morgue.
Alright, so the chemical solutions don't seem all that great. Unfortunately, they only get worse from here...
#4. Stretching via Penile Traction
You don't need to hear much beyond "penile traction device" to know it's bad news. If it sounds like it's going to be a tiny version of a medieval torture device for your dong, well, then they picked an accurate name.
The gadget is designed to be worn 12 hours a day, because you probably have that much free time to devote to yanking your dick all out of shape. The idea is that you're forcing the cells to split and rebuild under the stress of stretching. Which is something akin to claiming that bungee jumping with weights strapped on your ass will make you grow taller.
Once your wang is wedged into the contraption, a combination of cogs and springs apply a steady pressure to hold it taut, like your own one-stringed crotch guitar. Originally used to help men with curvatures and scar tissue resulting from traumatic injury or surgery, these gizmos are now available all over the Internet.
Injuries from overzealous application of traction do happen, and include bruising and vascular damage. You also have to figure out a way to wear one 12 hours a day without horrifying your coworkers and avoiding damage and bruising while figuring out how to sit with six-inches of metal in your pants.
If that sounds inconvenient, you could just try the "dangle large weights off the tip of your dong for 15-30 minutes a day" method.
What could possibly go wrong with that?

The legendary U-boat ace Otto Kretschmer was branded "the Wolf of the Atlantic," for his exploits as one of the Kriegsmarine's finest U-boat commanders. In his dramatic wartime career he sank ship after ship, sowing terror among Allied convoys and dismay in those charged with their protection. Kretschmer was a daring officer who favored bringing his U-boat into the heart of the convoy and destroying it from within.
Robertson draws upon first-hand accounts of the deadly game at sea to paint a masterly portrait of life in the U-boats and weaves in the fascinating story of Kretschmer's exploits. Kretschmer was eventually captured and became a prisoner of war in March 1941, spending the rest of the war in a POW camp in Canada, before his release in 1947.
Terence Robertson worked as a journalist after serving in the German Navy. He also wrote Night Raider of the Atlantic, Escort Commander and Dieppe: The Shame and the Glory. He is deceased.
~Praise for The Golden Horseshoe~
"…A highly captivating and a fine biography of Germany's most successful U-boat commander during the Second World War…A fine chronicle of the wartime career of Otto Kretschmer…Highly accessible and a pleasure to read, for a general audience and historians alike."

The first volume of Pólya's papers deals with singular points of analytic functions and with other broadly related topics, such as conformal mappings, entire functions, and the rate of growth of analytic functions. The papers are arranged in chronological order, but the editor, in his introduction, shows that they fall into four main sets of topics.
The first is concerned with properties of a function (in particular, the location and nature of its singular points) as deduced from the properties of the coefficients in its power series.
The papers in this volume cluster about the following topics: the location of the zeros of polynomials and other analytic functions; the approximation of analytic functions by polynomials in which the location of zero is restricted (these papers represent some of Pólya's most influential work); the behavior of the zeros of successive derivatives; the zeros of functions defined by trigonometric integrals; and the signs of derivatives and their analytic character.

I'm satisfied with Bon Vitale
This lotion does well when it is at room temperature but unfortunately it turns to water when it is put into a lotion warmer. For me, it just misses the mark. Wish it was a little thicker.
Wonderful quality...beautiful glide and absorbs by the time you need to work deeper. No smell
Massage Warehouse has great products at reasonable prices but the S&H is outrageous. I am a small business and have order around the "free shipping"
Love this economical lotion, nice light feel

Charlotte, NC – Four members of the Charlotte 49ers men's tennis team earned All-Atlantic 10 honors. Sophomore Jack Williams and freshman Jordi Massallé Ferrer were named first-team All-Atlantic 10. While, sophomore Paul Cisti earned second-team All-Atlantic 10 honors.
Sophomore Alex Calott was named to the Atlantic 10 All-Academic team.
Williams earned first-team All-Atlantic 10 honors for the second straight season. Williams finished the season with 18 singles wins primarily playing at number one singles. He also teamed with Massalle Ferrer to form the 49ers top doubles team who finished the season with a 13-4 record. Williams was named Atlantic 10 Player of the Week the final week of the regular-season (April 23) after posting wins at number one singles and doubles in the 49ers 5-2 win over UNC Greensboro, April 15.
Massalle Ferrer finished the season with 25 singles wins which is tied for the seventh highest single-season wins total in school history. Massalle Ferrer played mostly at number two singles for the 49ers. He also teamed with Williams to form the 49ers top doubles team. Massalle Ferrer earned Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week honors twice this year. He claimed his first A-10 Rookie of the Week award (March 19) after posting three singles wins and two doubles wins in Charlotte's victories over Catawba, Wingate and UT-Pan American. He earned his second A-10 Rookie of the Week award (April 23) after posting wins at number two singles and number one doubles in the 49ers win over UNC Greensboro.

He also teamed with Calott to form the 49ers number two doubles team. They finished the season with 10 doubles wins. Cisti was the first Niner to earn A-10 Player of the Week honors this season after he claimed the award (February 12) after posting singles and doubles wins in helping the 49ers defeat Mercer and College of Charleston.
Calott, who earned second-team All-Atlantic 10 honors last season, is the fifth different Niner to earn A-10 All-Academic team honors. Brad Clinard (2008-09), Dorian Host (2006-07), Roy Sichel (2006-07) and Zvi Lantsberg (2006) were the other Niners to earn A-10 All-Academic honors.

I have asked myself many times about Quantization Numerical Methods, is anyone here familiar with the subject and could give a reasonable insight of what Quantization concepts are about, and what are the underlying principles that make it work ?
Here is a website devoted to optimal quantization methods for numerical probability and mathematical finance specifically:
You can find a wide bibliography on the subject on the web site, as well as a database of pre-computed quantization grids.
Centroidal Voronoi methods you mean? i.e. approximating a continous space with discrete points (generators) and for the sake of modeling evaluate the neighborhood around each generator as having the same value?
Example. Here is a guy who encodes images with unicode in twitter. He is quantizing in both the spacial and color spaces.
Here is a paper I wrote about it in 2001. You can use them to cluster the behavior of time series data. Useful for both portfolio diversification and so you can make fine models for each cluster of time series data.

I noticed a wobble in my back wheel while commuting in this morning. Broken spoke. Is this a problem that I should take care of before my 7 mile commute home, or can I pick up a spoke and repair it at home?
Sign up

Yes you can ride home with a broken spoke. I'd probably unscrew the spoke from the nipple before doing so, so that it doesn't wobble around and get caught in other bits of the bike. Bike wheels are wonderful things that can easily put up with having a few spokes missing.
You can even ride home with several broken spokes ; )
It's not exactly great for your wheels but if you take it easy (no jumps!) they'll be fine. I have done this many times without any permanent damage to my wheels. But do take Deemar's advice about unscrewing the spoke.
I'm doing bicycle touring, and we do end up with broken spokes, with sometimes no place to fix it. I think the longest stretch was 120km in the South of Chile, on bad roads (gravel and dirt) with one and then two broken spokes. Even with the bicycle load (due to the luggage) the wheel handled that, although I've just been straightening it a bit from time to time.
So sure, you should be fine on a commuting bicycle with almost no load. Just take care of the bumps on the road (esp. when going on a sidewalk, if it's a shared one) as you might put pressure on the wheel which could bend a bit ==> the wheel could then touch the brakes if you don't have disks ones.
But don't wait too long. It's not because it's possible that it doesn't harm the rim to have broken spokes, eventhough I saw bikes in the Netherlands with quite a few broken spokes, still cycling and sometimes with 2 people on it! Crazy Dutch ;-)
I rode a whole summer of commuting with a broken spoke. You'll be alright. :)
While riding with broken spokes is possible, I have started to keep a pair of spare spokes taped down low on the seat tube mostly out of view. I typically only seems break spokes on the rear wheel and then on side away from the gears. So it's a quick fix to pull out the broken spoke and thread in a spare. The wheel is far truer that with the broken spoke. I only need this trick every two years or so and I feel a lot better riding on and then home.
You should be fine as long as you can secure that broken spoke to the nearest spoke either by twisting it around the good spoke, or securing it with a piece of duct tape or bandaid which all bikers should carry. As long as you're sure it won't get loose and get into the derailleur or brake. You can losen it up to make the twisting job easier, but that usually isn't necessary. Just take it easy on the ride home.
I would say yes but your chancing running it through you liner and into your tube. If it's just one broken spoke and you don't have far to go, you can bend/wrap it around the spoke next to it. Just don't bounce around a lot.

Artisan // 2001 // 90 Minutes // Rated R
Reviewed by Judge Eric Profancik (Retired) // June 14th, 2002
Deliver or Die.
Let me see if I have the chronology correct:
* Saved by the Bell
* Saved by the Bell: The College Years
* Saved by the Bell: The New Class
* Saved by the Bell: The Afterschool Special
* Saved by the Bell: The Vanity Project
What was that? You've never heard of the last two? I'll grant you the last one, but I'm willing to bet that almost all of you have seen the "Afterschool Special." However, you may know that one by its more popular title, Showgirls. I'm here to enlighten you about yet another failed attempt by a former star of that show to branch out into feature film: A.C. Slater -- er, Mario Lopez -- in Outta Time! Seeing as he's a co-producer on this little ditty, can we blame him if his entire family is cast in supporting roles?
David Morales (Mario Lopez, Saved by the Bell, Breaking the Surface: The Greg Louganis Story) attends U.U. (Unknown University) in San Diego under a soccer scholarship. Unfortunately, ever since he (somehow) busted up his left knee, his skills on the field have taken such a drastic downward spiral that he finds himself kicked off the team. Thus, since he's not on the soccer team he is no longer eligible to receive his scholarship money. Being a poor immigrant from Tijuana, Mexico, there's no way he'll be able to afford the rest of his education.
Fortunately, Emma, David's ex-girlfriend and hopeful professor at U.U., happens to meet Dr. Darabont (John Saxon, Enter The Dragon, Battle Beyond The Stars, The Arrival) as he's putting flyers in faculty members' mailboxes. He used to be a professor at U.U. and now he's currently looking for some bright, energetic students to do some part-time work at his company. Emma immediately thinks of poor David, and off he goes for an interview.
Unfortunately, David's luck continues to be bad as all of the available positions are already filled by the time he shows up for his interview. As he's shuffling out of the office, Dr. Darabont notices David and decides to talk to him. It turns out that Dr. Darabont is on the cutting edge of research and his firm is on the brink of creating a drug that can help fight a lethal disease. But most of the research needed by his firm is outlawed in the United States, but it is legal down in Mexico. Thus, Dr. Darabont needs David to run these experimental drugs across the border down to the testing facility in Mexico.
Why David? As we learn, David's mother still works and lives in Tijuana, and he goes to visit her often. During his numerous trips, David has become good friends with the border patrol at one of the crossings. Thus, David can basically pass between the two countries with immunity. This is perfect for Dr. Darabont's needs. David is very leery of this illegal activity but is soon acting as courier and making some very good money in the process. In no time, David has earned enough money to pay off his tuition.
Most of David's friends see red flags when all this money starts appearing. They begin to ask questions and soon the situation spirals out of control: friends die, family members are in big trouble, and the police and FBI are chasing him. Dr. Darabont tells him that if he delivers one final package, which is a sealed red and white Igloo™ cooler, to him in Mexico, David will be free to return to his simple, normal life.
What's in the cooler? Is Dr. Darabont who he says he is? Is David really moving pharmaceutical drugs? Who is Franco and why do they keep showing his wanted poster?
I'm sorry to say it, but this movie is simply preposterous. So many situations are so glaringly implausible that even after you've abandoned all sense of reality, you still can't believe some of the things that happen to David in his quest. David is supposed to be just a typical college kid, but by the end of the movie, he's outrun hitmen, escaped shootouts, stolen cars, and much, much more.
And that's truly just the beginning of the problems with this movie. Remember how I mentioned David has a busted left knee? On the bright side, Mario Lopez did always limp on the correct leg throughout the movie; however, he really does run too well for someone in his condition. People show up just when they're needed, buildings are left open for anyone to get into, and items are found just when they're most needed. The makers of this film really tried to do too much in this 90-minute film.
While trying to do too much in some areas, they forgot to give needed attention to the supporting cast. For the most part, all of the supporting characters are terribly underdeveloped and you know nothing about them. David's friends, family, and lovers are cookie-cutter characters with paper-thin personalities. They show up, say a couple lines, and help push the plot along as needed. David's enemies are several steps better than the other characters but don't rank among the pantheon of cinema villains. They are interesting in their quirks, most notably the saucy Dr. Drake (Nancy O'Dell, Access Hollywood), but nothing more than that: interesting.
I've been bashing this little film quite a bit, so it's time to point out a few of the good points to the movie -- but don't think that they can balance out all the bad points. For an independent film -- as they continually remind us about during the audio commentary -- they made the most out of a limited budget and a tight shooting schedule. The direction is tight, cinematography is commendable, and the pacing of the movie is solid. But you really have to question the choice of Mario Lopez as the lead in this action flick. He simply doesn't pull it off because, simply, he's a terrible actor -- then again, I don't believe that even a great actor could deliver the really bad dialogue laced throughout this movie and elevate it beyond what it is. And that reminds me, Mario's accent. For the first five minutes of the movie, David interacts only with Americans. Soon enough he meets up with his friend Juancho. As soon as that happens, David develops a slight Mexican accent.
Moving on to the transfers, Artisan has done a nice job with this little independent film. The video transfer is decent, as there is some light, occasional dirt speckled throughout the print and some minor artifacting during night-to-day transition scenes. Overall, the picture is soft with muted colors and not a lot of sharpness. However, this was somewhat intentional; from what I learned on the audio commentary, they were going for a soft look for the scenes set in Mexico, but I think that the softness extends to just about every scene in the movie. Not a terrible thing, but I bit disappointing for an anamorphic transfer. (Note: Amazon incorrectly lists the film as full frame.) As for the audio, you can choose either a 2.0 or 5.1 Dolby Digital mix. The 5.1 track is, again, not bad for an independent film but a bit lacking for the most part. The center channel comes across a bit thin and hollow and the surrounds don't kick in until the final thirty minutes. When the surrounds do start their work, they indeed do a nice job. The subwoofer is unfortunately underutilized, as the gunshots sound more like caps than bullets.
There are a couple of special features on the disc, and they are mostly worthy of a quick spin. First, you get an audio commentary with director Lorena David, producer Mark Roberts, and Mario Lopez. (Note: Amazon incorrectly lists Ali Landry as a participant on the commentary.) The commentary is actually a good listen. It's obvious that the three of them had a lot of fun putting the film together, and their kinship comes through on the track. I especially enjoyed the self-effacing humor, most notably the jabs at Mario -- like his awful new haircut and his blatant, washboard abs shot. Beyond that, there are quite a few useful chunks of info shared during the track that help clarify some of the plot threads and ideas behind the film -- like the soft look of the film as I noted above. Next is the behind-the-scene featurette that wouldn't be so bad if Nancy O'Dell wasn't using her worst radio announcer voice during her narration. You also get a photo gallery, the theatrical trailer, and filmographies and biographies.
On the streets, seconds can mean your life. In a bad movie, seconds can feel like an eternity.
This film is your classic B-grade flick: low budget, no name or has-been actors, bad dialogue, and a thin plot. If that's your calling and you have a fondness for Saved by the Bell kids then maybe you might like this. But I say that this movie is not that good and not worth your time. Though, if you stumble across it, take a quick second to look at the silly poses Mario is in on the front and back covers.
Artisan is found guilty for not including Tiffani-Amber Thiessen in this movie. While probably not their fault for her absence, only her presence could have saved this movie from mediocrity. A sentence of one month of non-stop viewing of Dustin Diamond's appearance in Celebrity Boxing 2 will be waived upon Tiffani's landing a leading role in an upcoming movie.

11 Everyday Ways to Learn Math While Having Fun
8 of 12
Sew Easy
Is sewing a favorite pastime of yours that you would like to pass on to your child? The dog days of summer are a great time to teach your child this hobby, and math plays a big part in it!
Sewing, knitting, and crocheting all use many kinds of math to create pieces of clothing, quilts, or wall hangings: counting rows on a sock, adding yarn to make a piece bigger, multiplying to figure out how many times a certain color will fit across a motif. The possibilities are endless!
Not only does sewing make a great math lesson, you'll also be teaching your child a life-long skill that she will be able use for years to come.

After a recent death here in South Africa it arose in conversation that there is a problem for mourners to fly on the same plane as the body to its burial in Israel. Aside from Kehuna issues (which AFAIK are dealt with by El Al) I can't think what would require them to catch a different plane as the body. Does anyone know what this is about?

In "Mourning in Halachah", Rabbi C B Goldberg, ArtScroll, 1991, p82, it says "If a family member is accompanying the deceased on a ship airplane or auto" and goes on to deal with the laws on aninus in this case. The same Halachah is brought in the original Hebrew sefer para 61.
It seems to follow that according to Rav Goldberg, there is nothing wrong with the family member accompanying the deceased.
There is an obligation to watch over the deceased, p 56, until the burial.
Further, there is a mitzvah to accompany the deceased see p127-130 and here.
Is it possible that the original suggestion was in error?

So my brother-in-law (great guy, btw) sent me a brew kit, ingredients, and instructions. Except the instructions never went over the whole "sanitation thing"... So, uh oh... I didn't sanitize the fermenting bucket (eek) and then my daughter even came in and threw a dish rag in the waiting 2.5 gallons of water we put the cooled Wort into (Pretty sure it was a clean rag...my wife was folding towel laundry... and the Water didnt look dirty afterwards.. had I known sanitation was such a big deal I would have begun with a fresh and sanitized bucket of water...) Are we screwed? Any predictions? Suggestions? Should I start over?? (Would be a waste wouldn't it?) Oh, and are there any "watchouts" to look for after fermentation is over? Smells? Also, is there any dangers of continuing to bottling/drink? Thanks-
Nice story! I understand your anxiety. I did the same with my first kit, although I sanitized, it was the wrong type - I used what wine makers often use, sodium metabisulphate. Also the kit was several years old. so I got very little airlock activity and in the space of a couple of weeks brewed 6 gallons of vinegar.
But yours may not turn out like that. If the kit is fresh and the yeast get off to a quick start, then you may be ok - the yeast outcompete many organisms by making the wort even more acidic and removing oxygen, and later by producing alcohol. Keep an eye on the bucket for the next 24 hours - hopefully you should see a lot of airlock activity, 3-5 bubbles per second, and a large fluffy cream cake with brown floaties on top of the beer. All of these things are good signs.
If the beer is contaminated, the most likely contaminant is acetobacter, they're on pretty much everything, and literally produce vinegar. However, a little of this in the beer may not completely ruin the beer - wheats can have a little sourness or tartness.
You'll have to be patient and wait it out and see...and make sure you santize everything that comes into contact with the chilled wort or beer from now on! Starsan and iodophor are great sanitizers, and very convenient to use.
As to drinking, there will be nothing harmful in the beer. If you like the taste, then bottle and drink. If you don't, then throw it and chalk one up to experience.
Just to add to the great answer above, the only way to know is time. I am assuming you got a dry packet of US-05 or some other ale yeast in the kit? Did you rehydrate this yeast? I ask because although you don't NEED to do this (according to the packet), it would have given the yeast a 'head start' to start replicating and elbowing the acetobacter out of the way and into extinction within your fermenter. For future reference, if using dry yeast, ALWAYS rehydrate. It will help to not stress the yeast, which can be a common cause of many off-flavors.
Another best practice I've found is to: 1.) buy a big thing of starsan (it doesn't go bad, you need very little of it to mix, and it will get you through tons of brew/bottling/racking sessions); 2.) either buy, or (after HEAVILY rinsing) commandeer a spray bottle, and any time you mix up a big batch of star san (i'm usually mixing at least 2-3 gallons, as you need about a table spoon diluted with that much water), fill up the spray bottle so you can 'spot' sanitize.
Just last night, I racked an IPA to dry-hop it, and was able to hit areas where I wanted to napalm those little critters that can ruin an otherwise perfectly delicious batch of brew.
Also, I have never heard of anyone complaining of star-san flavors when it gets into the beer, so it is TRULY 'no-rinse'. This is not the case with bleach and some other solutions that will kill surface bacteria.
As far as your question re: smells, etc., I would first say that 'you will know if its bad'. However, as you haven't likely been around fermenting beer that often, I would caution you that sometimes funky smells can come from the airlock and it is perfectly fine. These can be just by-products of yeast metabolizing the sugars. However, if you get an INTENSE vinegar, rotten eggs, or really unpalatable smell, it could be infected.
Might I also recommend purchasing or borrowing a copy of "How to Brew" by John Palmer prior to/for your next brew (if you choose to do one, and let's hope you do). Great reference for ALL levels of homebrewers.
Finally, DO NOT touch this beer for at least 5 days. I know it is killing you, but what will happen will happen, and lets hope the yeast prevail. Only time will tell though, and by opening the fermenter and checking it can only introduce more bacteria into an otherwise closed environment.
Let us know how it goes, good luck!
This answer is advice on what to do if you have a 'poor' start (and how to tell):
How was the yeast start? How many bubbles per 30 seconds on your airlock? Do you have a good krausen (as mentioned above)?
At this point (2 days in), you should be seeing a bubble every oh 1 to 5 seconds (faster is fine).
If you are bubbling slower than that, I recommend you go buy more yeast and 'reinoculate'. You'll be out about $6 or $7. Get a Wyeast smack pack from the local homebrew store if possible, not dry yeast or White Labs tube (although those are second choices). While I prefer White Labs when making a start, right now you need a rapid restart. The Wyeast smack pack (you smack it to activate the yeast) will give you a nice 'start' in the package and hopefully compete well. Also, unless it is completely off-base style-wise, I'd recommend a nice hardy yeast. American Ale or California ale are both tough and easy to get going.
You might just be chucking $6 after the now ruined kit but if you have a strong start, your yeast may outcompete the acetobacteria you probably have in there.
Don't forgot to 'aerate' (most people do this by sloshing around the container with the airlock off) the beer if you restart. Aerating later is bad but if you restart the yeast you want to oxygenate the beer to permit yeast reproduction (they need oxygen to reproduce).
Good luck!

I notice that for several games on Kongregate, the copyright notice either uses the author's handle name (login name), the name of the group that produce it or a domain name.
Are all those valid copyright notices?
I notice that for several games on Kongregate, the copyright notice either uses the author's handle name (login name), the name of the group that produce it or a domain name.

That probably depends upon the court, and in some countries to a great deal on how well the lawyers fight.
In any case, do remember, copyright applies no matter such notices. They may make claiming damages easier, but a missing notice is in no way a carte blanche for copyright infringement.
In general, your copyright notice should be either using your name or the name of your company. If the name of your company happens to include the TLD of your website, so be it.
Yes, I'd they're valid copyright notices. IANAL but in the US works under a pseudoname are just as copyrighted as they would be under a legal name, however they'd have to be able to prove that you're 'insertnamehere'.
Kongregate only attributes them that way because they don't require more information and I wouldn't recommend doing it for your own project. However I'd also recommend not to ignore the copyrights and snag the games from Kongregate since they're still copyrighted and that'd be highly illegal.
As a general rule I think a copyright notice would have to identify the legal name of the owner ... your name, your company's registered name, etc. if for no other reason than to be able to look it up in the event of a dispute.
It is possible that a domain name may be appropriate (since they're registered), but a handle or other alias probably isn't valid (after all, you'd have to prove that you are the person the handle identifies).
Strictly opinion.
It will depend upon the country where the copyright is held, and generally you dont have to file it anywhere. You should look into the jurisdiction where the website is located/hosted.
If it is US based the copyright standards dont require it to be their given name, only something that connects the authors identity to the material work they are presenting. That could be their email, login, company name, domain, logo etc.

The sine and cosine rules for triangles in Euclidean, spherical and hyperbolic spaces can be understood as invariants for triples of lines. These invariants are given in terms of the distance (both lengthwise and angular) between pairs of lines. There is also a converse statement. Suppose we are living in a complete Riemannian manifold of constant curvature. If a certain sine/cosine rule is satsifies by triples of lines, then we can determine the curvature.
I'm wondering if we can generalize these sine and cosine rules to arbitrary symmetric spaces. That is, give a triple of geodesics (or parallel submanifolds, if we consider higher dimensions), are there similar invariants? Perhaps these invariants will be given in terms of representations of the coset of symmetries take a geodesic to antoher.
It would also be great if these invariants can characterize the symmetric space we are living in, just like in the case of the constant curvature case.

On the dual boot option screen I choose Ubuntu and only get:
I want to get into Ubuntu and start learning it a bit but am stuck. What would be the best way to fix my problem?
Next time I need to pay attention to where I install Ubuntu. If it is on an external media, like in this case, I either need to leave the drive plugged in, although I dont believe you can readily boot an OS via USB, or install Ubuntu locally.
I can't comment yet, so I'm answering here. You can most definitely single-, dual- or multiple-boot OSs from a USB drive*. What do you mean "install Ubuntu locally?
*As long as the BIOS supports booting from USB of course. All modern BIOSes support this. If you have a BIOS which does not, boot off the Plop Boot CD which then provides USB boot support.

Vegan Mom and I have decided to reinstate our Friday night kid-free dinners. We just need one night a week where we can actually eat sitting down for the whole meal, instead of fetching drinks for the kids, wiping spills, keeping Son#3 from trying to escape from his high chair, etc. So, after the kids are in bed we sit down for our own meal. Tonight I reformed the recipe and method for making the seitan cutlets, and was quite happy with the results. I also made a risotto and will post the recipe tomorrow.
- 1/2 cup white kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup cold water or veggie broth
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1/4 cup chicken-style broth powder
- 1 1/4 cup vital wheat gluten
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp paprika
- freshly ground white pepper
Get your water on its way to boiling under a 2-tiered bamboo steamer.
1. Mash beans finely with a fork. Add in the rest of the ingredients and mix together into a dough. Knead for a few minutes.
2. Divide dough into 6 pieces and press into cutlets with the heel of your hand. Wet your hands with water is dough is a bit sticky.
3. Wet a tea towel. Lay half of the towel in the bottom tier of the steamer, place 3 cutlets on the towel, then fold over towel to cover. Repeat with a new towel and the 3 remaining cutlets in the top tier.
