Southington football game might be moved
SOUTHINGTON — The status of Saturday's three state football championship games are in standby mode due to the inclement weather forecast for Saturday night into Sunday morning.
A decision on the scheduled Saturday night game between Southington and Fairfield Prep at Central Connecticut State University's Arute Field will be made sometime today, according to CIAC assistant executive director Paul Hoey.
Friday night's Class S game between Ansonia and Woodland is still set for 7:05.
At Wednesday's CIAC luncheon at the Aqua Turf Club, Hoey said the CIAC would post updated information today on its website at casciac.org as soon as a final decision is made.
The Class LL game is slated for Saturday at 6:05 p.m.
"The forecast doesn't look too good Saturday night into Sunday morning," noted Hoey, who said there is a possibility that the Class LL game could be moved up to the afternoon and moved to an alternate site.
"We understand the realities," said Hoey. "The Central stadium is in great shape and their crew is ready to go."
Moving the game to Sunday is possible, but the forecast going into Sunday as of Wednesday made that unrealistic.
"All options are on the table," said Hoey, who said that West Haven High and Boyle Stadium in Stamford are also available as possible sites.
There is a possibility that the two other games — the Class M game between Brookfield and St. Joseph slated for Saturday at 10 a.m. and the Class L game between New Canaan and Darien set for 2:05 p.m. — could be moved as well.
Under CIAC rules, games can't be played past Sunday. In that event, co-champions would be declared. That's not an option that CIAC officials want to see happen.
Ten years ago, Ansonia's championship game with Cromwell was postponed until Tuesday, Dec. 10, two days after the game was slate to be played because of poor weather.
But that was before the CIAC expanded the playoffs to 32 teams and three rounds.
For the past three years, the grass field at 40,000-seat Rentschler Field in East Hartford was used as the site of the finals.
Last winter, CIAC officials began planning to move the games to alternate site and settled on the synthetic surface Arute Field, a 6,000-seat stadium.
"We are absolutely thrilled to be hosting the football championships," said Central athletic director Paul Schlickmann. "This is a partnership to evolve and grow."

The following are the most common pregnancy concerns and the strategies to deal with them while you are on the job:
Backaches are common during pregnancy because of the increased weight you're carrying, especially if your baby is resting on your spine. Neck and shoulder aches can be due to tension and/or the increased weight of your growing breasts. Lower back pain that extends or shoots down one buttock and into one leg is probably sciatica, caused when the baby's head compresses the sciatic nerve. The tips that follow will help to relieve the discomfort of backaches or avoid them altogether:
If you experience sudden, extreme swelling, you should immediately alert your physician. This could be a warning sign of preclampsia or toxemia. Mild swelling, which is considered normal and beneficial, can bee relieved by these methods.

August is month to plant fall vegetables
Published: Sunday, August 3, 2014 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, July 31, 2014 at 4:04 p.m.
Vegetable gardening in Western North Carolina does not have to end after summer. We can grow vegetables well into fall and possibly even through winter, if the plants are given a little cover on very cold nights.
August garden chores
◆ Deadhead spent flowers on perennials
such as yarrow, coneflower, coreopsis,
day lilies and Shasta daisies.
◆ Fertilize rose bushes to promote fall
bloom, using granular or liquid fertilizer,
fish emulsion or manure tea.
◆ Divide bearded iris, if needed. Plant
rhizomes in a well-draining spot at or just
barely below soil level, and spread roots
under rhizome. Leave at least one fan per rhizome.
◆ Remove and compost all spent plants,
crops and weeds. Dispose of diseased
material separately, not in your compost
◆ In your vegetable garden, apply an
inch or two of mulch around established
summer vegetables to keep the soil cool
and to retain moisture. Prepare for fall
plantings by loosening the soil to a depth
of 12 inches and add organic matter if
necessary. Root vegetables need loose
soil to develop fully. You may need to add fertilizer to replace nutrients. Compost and manure usually provide all that's needed.
For an organic garden, there are many
fertilizers available if required. The initials
"OMRI" on the label indicate a product is
certified by the Organic Materials Review
A light freeze can actually make some winter vegetables sweeter.
Did you know that those large Vidalia and Walla Walla onions grow best when started from seed in the fall? Overwintering makes these varieties big and sweet. The small onion sets you get in the spring just don't compare.
August is the time to start seeds directly in the garden for those cool weather crops such as spinach, carrots, lettuce, beets, broccoli, turnips and Brussels sprouts.
All seeds, including those that grow best in cool temperatures, need warmth initially to germinate.
Be careful, however, to keep newly planted seeds and emerging seedlings moist.
You might need to water these daily, as the heat in August can dry out the soil very quickly.

We had an all too-common occurrence in our clinic a few years ago. A client, Christina, brought her little mix, Boogs, into the clinic one evening. She was concerned because Boogs was seeping blood from a small cut on her leg. Nothing seemed to stop the seepage. We took a history and questioned the owner. It turned out that Boogs had run off that morning and when she came back Christina noticed the cut, but did not worry about it since it seemed so small. She washed it and wrapped it up to keep it clean then went off to work. When she came home she noticed that there was an 8 inch diameter spot of blood that had soaked into Boogs' bed. Although the dog was acting fine, Christina decided to bring her in.
When questioned further, it turned out that Christina was living in a friend's basement and the friend had mice. We did not know for sure, but suspected that the dog had ingested some of the rodenticide that had been set out for the mice.
Used to kill mice, rats, and other rodents, ingredients of concern in many rodenticides are anticoagulants, which slow the clotting of the blood. When ingested, these anticoagulants concentrate in the liver, where they interfere with the normal synthesis of clotting factors by the liver.
Symptoms often do not show up for several days (and may include internal bleeding), so many owners are not aware that their pet has been exposed.
Four common active ingredients in anticoagulant rodenticides are: Dicoumarol, Dipha-cinone, Brodofacoum, and Bromadiolone. We found out that the particular rodenticide Boogs may have ingested contained dicouma-rol, also known as Warfarin.
Even though we merely suspected the exposure, we immediately treated Boogs with fluids and an injection of Vitamin K because of her symptoms and history. We treat more cases of rodenticide poisoning than all other toxins combined. Rodenticides are tasty in order to attract rodents, but that makes them attractive to our pets as well.
Make sure to read rodenticide packages thoroughly if you have pets in your house. If you suspect your pet has gotten into a rodenticide, have the package with you when you call your veterinarian or poison control.
Signs of rodenticide toxicity often go unrecognized. Internal bleeding may go unnoticed even to the veterinarian. The most common sign that owners notice is bloody saliva in the water bowl. Luckily Christina got her into us that evening. If Boogs had continued to bleed, the outcome would not have been so good.
We watched Boogs overnight and sent her home the next day with a week's worth of oral Vitamin K. Poisons by some anticoagulant rodenticides need to be treated for 4-6 weeks. Boogs is still going strong and the homeowner switched to mouse traps.

I have a GPS Tracker which sends the GPRMC string of the NMEA 0183 protocol, at fixed periodicity, to a predefined number as SMS. I am looking for a software which can port these incoming SMS to a COM port to plot them dynamically to Google Earth or a custom GIS application, and use the name of the sending GPS as a label on the map. THe software should be capable of simultaneously tracking multiple GPS trackers simultaneously.
Kannel is the most known sms gateway (Free and Open Source), it runs both in Linux and Windows. You can connect it with a GSM modem or a mobile phone to send or receive sms (or MMS). If you have a GPS who can connect to GSM you have the solution. AND of course it connected with Mysql or Postgresql and more DB. From a database you can send the data to a web system.
Would Gammu SMS Daemon http://wammu.eu/smsd/ be a start?
Check out SlingshotSMS. It's a minimal SMS server which connects GSM modems to websites and applications via a simple HTTP interface. Here's a sample architecture.
You could do away with the Drupal backend and write your own. It's also portable so you can run it from a flash drive.
If I understand it correctly, those would be different numbers sending to your tracker? If so, you could just filter them by sender so you would be able to distinguish them.

Authorities have received a couple of reports of counterfeit money turning up in Leavenworth, a police spokesman said.
Within about the last week, money believed to be counterfeit has been reported at two local businesses, Family Video and the BP station on North Fourth Street, according to Maj. Dan Nicodemus, deputy chief of the Leavenworth Police Department.
In counterfeit money cases, police share their reports with federal authorities, Nicodemus said.
He urged retailers to be vigilant. He said counterfeiters don't focus only on $100 bills. He said $50 and $20 bills also are counterfeited.

Many times I heared that the solar wind consists of protons and alpha particles. The both are positively charged, but are there electrons in solar wind?
Solar wind is neutral overall else the Sun will become globally very strongly charged and we don't see that happening.
It comprises Electrons/Protons and other particles.
Generally plasma may be charged in regions smaller than the Debye length. Normally it happens at boundaries. For example, fast electrons tend to fly away and are deposited on a metallic wall first. (It is like electron emission from a hot cathode.) Thus a positive charge is created within some region. The Debye length depends on plasma density and temperature.
This is a citation about solar wind properties from:
Hargreaves, J. K. (1995). The solar-terrestrial environment. Cambridge University press
So the answer (as it was posted before) is NO, the solar wind is overall neutral and YES there are enough electrons to make it so.
The electrons in the solar atmosphere have a lower escape velocity because of their mass. The flux of electrons creates a positive charge in the solar atmosphere that in time creates an ambipolar electric field that then accelerate protons to space. This caused the solar wind to be essentially neutral.

Let Their Spirits Dance (Paperback)
Let Their Spirits Dance is the moving story of a family's journey across America. Thirty years after the death of the family's son and brother, Jesse, in Vietnam, the family has remained in many ways locked in a time of grief and pain. Having heard her son's voice, Alicia makes a vow to touch his name on the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C., and her decision inspires her warring children, along with hundreds of strangers across the country.
Stella Pope Duarte portrays a family struggling with the universal scars suffered by all who have been touched by death through war. In this powerfully evocative novel, Pope Duarte connects family, friends, and an entire nation with the names on the Wall, honoring the men and women who served in Vietnam as well as those who watched and waited, but never forgot.

I keg and force carbonate, and my beer has really fine bubbles. Is there something that I can do (turn up the pressure, maybe) that will give me larger, coarser bubbles in the finished beer? Thanks!
Really, fine bubbles is usually what people are after. Are you hoping larger bubbles will cure a different problem like head formation or retention? This type of information might get you an answer more suited for what you need. Bubble size is a tough thing to control and quantitate. It involves the size of the nucleation sites and the amount of insolubles in the beer. Its something the pros really struggle with too, and its something that brewing scientists still pore over in research settings.
In short if you want bigger bubbles, you need cleaner beer and cleaner glassware. And more pressure will give you just more bubbles of the same nature.
When you say bubbles, do you mean the mobile bubbles that form near the bottom of the glass and migrate upward, or do you mean the cells in the foamy head that collects at the surface?
My understanding of actual bubbles is essentially what brewchez said above: it's a function of glassware and suspended particles in the beer.
Head retention however is a different topic, and if that's what you're asking you might re-ask your question in terms of head density, head retention, head texture, etc.

The measure of the world
"We are now approaching that most sacred day when we commemorate Christ's passion and death. Let us try to fix our minds upon this great thought. Let us try, what is so very difficult, to put off other thoughts, to clear our minds of things transitory, temporal, and earthly, and to occupy them with the contemplation of the Eternal Priest and His one ever-enduring Sacrifice;that Sacrifice which, though completed once for all on Calvary, yet ever abideth, and, in its power and its grace, is ever present among us, and is at all times gratefully and awfully to be commemorated, but now especially, when the time of year is come at which it was made. Let us look upon Him who was lifted up that He might draw us to Him; and, by being drawn one and all to Him, let us be drawn to each other, so that we may understand and feel that He has redeemed us one and all, and that, unless we love one another, we cannot really have love to Him who laid down His life for us." (John Henry Newman, The Incarnate Son, a Sufferer and Sacrifice, Parochial and Plain Sermons, vol. VI, 69-70)"A great number of men live and die without reflecting at all upon the state of things in which they find themselves. They take things as they come, and follow their inclinations as far as they have the opportunity. They are guided mainly by pleasure and pain, not by reason, principle, or conscience; and they do not attempt to interpret this world, to determine what it means, or to reduce what they see and feel to system. But when persons, either from thoughtfulness of mind, or from intellectual activity, begin to contemplate the visible state of things into which they are born, then forthwith they find it a maze and a perplexity. It is a riddle which they cannot solve. It seems full of contradictions and without a drift. Why it is, and what it is to issue in, and how it is what it is, and how we come to be introduced into it, and what is our destiny, are all mysteries.
"In this difficulty, some have formed one philosophy of life, and others another. Men have thought they had found the key, by means of which they might read what is so obscure. Ten thousand things come before us one after another in the course of life, and what are we to think of them? what colour are we to give them? Are we to look at all things in a gay and mirthful way? or in a melancholy way? in a desponding or a hopeful way? Are we to make light of life altogether, or to treat the whole subject seriously? Are we to make greatest things of little consequence, or least things of great consequence? Are we to keep in mind what is past and gone, or are we to look on to the future, or are we to be absorbed in what is present? How are we to look at things? this is the question which all persons of observation ask themselves, and answer each in his own way. They wish to think by rule; by something within them, which may harmonize and adjust what is without them. Such is the need felt by reflective minds. Now, let me ask, what is the real key, what is the Christian interpretation of this world? What is given us by revelation to estimate and measure this world by? The event of this season,the Crucifixion of the Son of God."It is the death of the Eternal Word of God made flesh, which is our great lesson how to think and how to speak of this world. His Cross has put its due value upon every thing which we see, upon all fortunes, all advantages, all ranks, all dignities, all pleasures; upon the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. It has set a price upon the excitements, the rivalries, the hopes, the fears, the desires, the efforts, the {85} triumphs of mortal man. It has given a meaning to the various, shifting course, the trials, the temptations, the sufferings, of his earthly state. It has brought together and made consistent all that seemed discordant and aimless. It has taught us how to live, how to use this world, what to expect, what to desire, what to hope. It is the tone into which all the strains of this world's music are ultimately to be resolved." (Newman, The Cross of Christ the Measure of the World, Parochial and Plain Sermons, vol. VI, 83-85)

"Ten thousand things come before us one after another in the course of life..."; in the course of one day at dotCommonweal. If only Newman knew!
Perhaps the verse from Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know I am God" can be most poignantly observed and internalized when we try to observe Newman's exhortation to to "clear our minds of things transitory, temporal, and earthly, and to occupy them with the contemplation of the Eternal Priest and His one ever-enduring Sacrifice." At no other time is this verse more profound in our contemplation and reflection.
"It has brought together and made consistent all that seemed discordant and aimless. It has taught us how to live, how to use this world, what to expect, what to desire, what to hope. It is the tone into which all the strains of this worlds music are ultimately to be resolved. "To say that the Cross has resolved all existential problems (they're what this text is about, I think) is simply not true. Most obviously, the Cross doesn't teach us what to expect and what to hope, at least not in this world. Though we believe that the "strains of this world" will "ultimately be resolved", it seems to me that the Cross still presents mystery which, while it resolves some questions, does not yet resolve all.Just read the piece by the philosopher Roger Scruton in the NYT this week. He finds that pessimism is the rational road to take. I think that this issue -- of the contradictions between reality teaches us and what Christianity claims to know -- is what the Courtyard of the Gentiles will have to address.
It resolves our problems not by solving them but by dissolving them.
Ms. Claire, I respectfully submit that among your many comments, solutions are nowhere to be found.
Michael, I'm sure you're right.

(CBS)-- A new biography of President Barack Obama has some people asking if anything in a president's past is off limits.
Author David Maraniss relies heavily on the diaries, letters, and memories of Mr. Obama's old girlfriends. "Barack Obama: The Story" focuses on the president as a young man, living in New York and Chicago. It shows him in love, and in turmoil.
The young Barack Obama portrayed in David Maraniss' book struggled to feel at home in New York. It was at Columbia University where the future president felt lost, struggling with questions about who he really was - his race, his religion, and even his cultural and political beliefs. It was a deep, internal conflict that he only shared with his close friends, including his girlfriends.
One of those girlfriends was Genevieve Cook, the daughter of a prominent Australian family. They are shown in the pages of Vanity Fair, which excerpted Maraniss' biography. Cook and Obama met at Christmas Party in 1983 at an apartment in New York's East Village.
Early in their relationship, Obama confessed to Cook how he searched for the "perfect ideal woman...at the expense of hooking up with available girls." In her journal, Cook wrote: "I can't help thinking that what he would really want, be powerfully drawn to, was a woman, very strong, very upright, a fighter, a laugher, well-experienced - a black woman I keep seeing her as."
But Cook would fall in love anyway, and 22-year-old Barack Obama began having the deepest, most romantic relationship of his young life. Cook says in 1984, Mr. Obama rented a room in an apartment in this building on West 114th Street. She remembers how on Sundays Mr. Obama would drink coffee, solve crossword puzzles, and lounge around shirtless in a blue and white sarong.
Cook continued journaling through their relationship. In one entry, she wrote: "The sexual warmth is definitely there." But just one month later, she wrote, "Barack still intrigues me, but so much going on beneath the surface, out of reach. Guarded, controlled."
Once, Cook told a young Obama that she loved him. His response: "thank you." Later that year, Obama temporarily moved in with Cook. The irritation of each other's constant company eventually drove them apart. It was the beginning of the end of their year-long relationship.
Watch Terrell Brown's full report in the video above.
Presidential historian Douglas Brinkley said on "CBS This Morning" that Obama compressed the story of his life in New York in his autobiography, "Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance."

I wondering if I put my 1600Mhz 8Gig (4gigx2) modules in a Macbook Pro 17" 620m (2010 model) if the speeds would be automatically reduced to 1066Mhz? I'm just asking because I don't want to damage the computer. I've read that this will happen, but I just want to ask around before hand :).
The frequency rating on RAM is analogous to the top speed of a car, if it's max speed is (for example) 250 km/h, it can drive up to 250 km/h, but it won't break if u drive at 25 km/h.
Same for RAM. As long as it's the same DDR3 Standard, it will run, regardless of how high the max clock speed is.
XAleXOwnZX already answered, but I'd like to confirm that this indeed works with you 2010 MacBook Pro. I've had a 13" 2010 MacBook Pro and upgraded using 1600 MHz RAM.
It depends on manufacturer of your memory and how much specific stick is compatible with your memory controller and/or with graphics chip.
For example, my MacBook Pro mid 2010 13" (MacBookPro7,1) did not support Hynix 4GB PC3-12800 DDR3 1600 MHz sticks if used alone or 4GB+4GB, they work only if coupled (2GB+4GB) with pre-installed 2GB 1033 MHz sticks from Samsung.

Is there any Christian denomination that views man's ability to reason properly as a gift by the Holy Spirit?

closed as off-topic by Flimzy, Dan, Affable Geek, wax eagle♦ Aug 14 '14 at 14:56
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
Most every church recognizes that every good thing is a gift of God, including our reason, but I do not think any denomination assigns the ability to properly reason as a unique 'gift of the Holy Spirit. However to reason properly about Christ by faith many churches think can't be done without the enablement of the Spirit. assume by 'properly' you mean those There are gifts of the Spirit that are given to the church that make use of proper reason such as the gift of 'wisdom' and 'knowledge' (1 Cor. 12:8). The main idea behind these gifts is that 'different' people have been given different ones. Since all men have reason and by faith can reason properly, it can't be then a special gift. Pure ability to reason is logically is a natural gift and it is likely, among those without faith, that none excels as high as the Devil, for his powers of reason and knowledge of the external form of religion no man could pretend.
So gifts like Teaching, or having wisdom and knowledge naturally relate to our reason and one who has an 'unusual ability' by the working of the Spirit, might have a kind of unusual ability to reason about Christ, displaying unusual knowledge or wisdom concerning him and his work. But as already mentioned these are not recognized as a 'gift of the Spirit' by any denomination as far as I know. A person may be said to have his reason 'on fire' and under an 'anointing' yet this is not with respect to his ability to reason directly.
In fact, what has often marked out spiritual gift is that despite the natural weaknesses of certain men, even without strong powers of reason, people animated by the Holy Spirit have been able to convincingly present the claims of the gospel with extraordinary gifts. In the case of the Apostles who were 'fisherman' and who subsequently turned the world over with the gospel, the power of God at work in those real 'unnatural gifts' that he gave them, was seen, in contrast to their power of reason, or natural learning.
I think these and other reasons has kept any church from attributing reason to a gift of the Spirit, just as good-looks, strength and wealth are also not proper gifts.
Unfortunately, this really comes down to semantics. The answer depends on what we mean by the terms we're using. I'll attempt to clarify...
Pretty much every Christian would concede that every thing, including our brain, comes from God (though it may be damaged by sin). Furthermore, it is generally accepted that the Spirit is the Agent by which God brought every thing into existence. So every thing we have - including your brain, and any ability you have to think rationally - came "by the Spirit" in that sense.
But when we talk about "spiritual" gifts, or gifts "by the Holy Spirit", we are generally using this terminology to distinguish between the natural (physical) "gifts" (such as trees and brains) and those supernatural gifts that are bestowed via divine intervention after (or during) "baptism" in the Holy Spirit. (Whether you take that to be at conversion or as a separate event.) In other words, to say "trees are a spiritual gift" would be nonsensical, since we don't mean "physical gifts that were part of Creation" when we say "spiritual gifts".
Now, it shouldn't be hard to see that the ability to think rationally is not universal, so I won't put too much effort into proving that. Point being, our brains are "broken", regardless of what you take the "cause" of that brokenness to be (whether "genetic entropy", or "demonic destruction", or "divine blindness", etc.)
So, the only way "man's ability to reason properly" could be considered "a gift by the Holy Spirit" (according to the common definitions) is if there was some supernatural influence which enabled their broken mind to start working again. So in this sense...
But If I understand your question, "man's ability to reason properly" (by the common definitions) is a term used primarily to refer to natural ability, apart from miraculous, supernatural influence (other than, perhaps, Creation). So in that sense...
The Bible certainly says things like your statement. There are the verses quoted in the comments. Closest to your wording that I can think of is:
I might also mention:
The Westminster Confession of Faith says, (IV.2) "After God had made all other creatures, he created man, male and female, with reasonable and immortal souls, endued with knowledge ..." That is, God created humans to have reason and knowledge. Not exactly what you said but pretty close, I think.
The Southern Baptist Convention's Statement of Faith says (section XII), "Christianity is the faith of enlightenment and intelligence. In Jesus Christ abide all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. All sound learning is, therefore, a part of our Christian heritage. The new birth opens all human faculties and creates a thirst for knowledge. Moreover, the cause of education in the Kingdom of Christ is co-ordinate with the causes of missions and general benevolence, and should receive along with these the liberal support of the churches." It doesn't specifically say that the ability to reason is a gift of God, but it does say that Christians's should use their reason and is generally consistent with the idea of reason coming from God.
I made a brief search of the statements of faith of few other denominations that came to mind and didn't see anything specific on this. Of course the fact that a church doesn't mention something in their statement of faith doesn't mean they don't believe it -- I'm sure there are lots of things any given church believes that don't make it into the SOF.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) _ A former U.S. Army lieutenant from Oklahoma who was convicted of killing an Iraqi prisoner has been released from a military prison after he was granted parole.
Michael Behenna was released from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas Friday morning after serving five years of his 15-year sentence for unpremeditated murder in a combat zone. His father, Scott Behenna, says Michael Behenna was welcomed by family and friends as he walked out of prison.
Behenna was convicted in 2009 in the death of an unarmed Iraqi man. Behenna said he acted in self-defense when the man reached for Behenna's handgun, but the Army said such an argument didn't stand up because Behenna was pointing his weapon at the prisoner.
The Army Clemency and Parole Board denied clemency but granted Behenna parole last month.

Terraria on Steam for $3.39 + free shipping
Save 66%
14 Comments add a comment
Free shipping... on a digital download. Really?
Very good game. The best way I can put it is Minecraft in 2D. I also had a lot more fun in this game than in Minecraft.
However, keep in mind that the game isn't supported anymore. The developer stopped all updates and patches about a year ago.
This game was way more fun than I first thought it would be
@zyxomma100: The last patch was January of this year. The game is still supported, they have very active forums in fact. (http://www.terrariaonline.com/forum/)
I am aware that there are active forums for the game, and an active modding community. I dabble in both. However, there is no official support for the game and all official patches were cancelled as of 9 months ago. (Sorry, I knew it was a while ago, so I said about a year.)
realllllly good game. one of my friends and i got it during the summer sale and we played wayyy too many hours of Terraria in like three weeks. we stopped playing after unlocking hard mode cuz we were sick of it by then
This is an amazing game. I have logged far too many hours in it.
Unlike EA's Origin, no tax on Steam games. Wheeeeeee!!! =D
@masterwill: Unfortunately, @zyxomma100 is correct, Terraria will not have any more official patches or support.
That said, it's a FANTASTIC game with a great community.
I never understood why people on the Terraria forums had such a hissy fit over the developer saying there would be no more patches.
Are there any game breaking bugs still? No. Is the game so insanely short that new content is needed? No. Is the $10 price tag too much for how much gameplay you can get out of it? Abso-freakin-lutely not. I've put over 180 hours into this game, and STILL find myself wanting to play it.
Every game stops being updated at some point. Were people honestly so deluded that they thought "free content updates" meant the game was going to be expanded forever?
This game is absolutely rock solid, an utter blast to play, and worth 3 times the regular price.
Just for the record, the game has been on sale for as cheap as $2.50 (for example, during the Summer Sale, but that wasn't the only time.) So if you're really cheap and can wait, you can probably save another $0.89 ...
(It's a good thing too. I've bought three copies of it so far ... one for me, two for my older kids ...)
It's a good game, well worth the $3.39 or even $10.
I have to admit I could never get into this game very much... I couldn't figure out how to do basic stuff like make a safe home or craft items consistently. The interface is a bit of a mess IMHO, although I know there are lots of folks out there who love it. Hey, for this price it's worth a shot right?
@sudz28: There are wikis online that you can look up that will teach you to do everything from basic tasks to making advanced stuff. I would look it up, it will make it more enjoyable for you!
I managed to get in right before the deal expired, great find!

As is known, a polynomial $P \in K[x_1, \dots, x_n]$ is symmetric when permuting its variables always yields the same polynomial. This immediately yields an algorithm $O(n!)$ to check for symmetry of a polynomial.
Are there known algorithms faster than $O(n!)$ (perhaps using other bounds, like the degree) to decide if a polynomial of $n$ variables is symmetric?

Ok guys so I've been playing since Champ manager 01/02, but I've never really done a full career where I start out as a nobody and try and work my way up through the leagues. This is about to change! Having just finished college and having broken two metatarsals meaning I can't go to work, I have plenty of time to invest into this. I've setup the game with leagues from England, Scotland, Italy, Spain, USA, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, China and Australia on a large database. I've created a manager that is 30 years old, English, favourite club is Arsenal, with past experience as a sunday league footballer.
Upon loading up the game I will holiday untill January 1st 2011, at which point I will apply for any low division job, preferably starting in the Blue Square South or North. From there I will look to build my reputation and eventually reach the top leagues and be competing honours.
Also, unlike many other people who seem to post on these forums, I am not some kind of god when it comes to FM unfortunately So unlike other I doubt I will be achieving back to back promotions and the like and can see it taking a considerably long time to reach the higher leagues.
Thanks for reading though and I shall be posting updates regularly, the first being when I get my first job
BTW any tips would be very helpful as never really done much management in the lower leagues Thanks

In 1977, during the Carter Administration, Congress passed the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) which allowed mortgage lending in low-income neighborhoods.

During the Clinton Administration (yes another Democrat) Clinton's key Democrat, Senator Chris Dodd and Congressman Barney Frank, led the way in in modifying CRA and created a boom in subprime lending.
Sadly both Democrats and Republicans failed to act in 2005 when Alan Greenspan told them that "We are placing the total financial system of the future at a substantial risk.'' if Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac continued growing while having low capital and engaging in the dynamic hedging of their portfolios. During this same time period, many of us cringed at the things George W. Bush did that made him seem more like a Democrat than Republican. Even so, the path to collapse was already well paved by the time Bush took office. As things progressed, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac led the way by making bad loans appeared as higher-quality loans because they conformed to their standards. All that it took was a slight dip in the economy and the entire house of cards collapsed.
Where the other factors? – Yes. Do Republicans share some of the blame? Yes. Was greed or the desire for wealth a factor? Probably – aren't they motivating factors in capitalism and economic growth as opposed to socialism where there is very little motivation? Ultimately it was the Democrats failed social engineering lead to this collapse and continues to plague our economy. The government is still handing out sub-prime mortgages (holding approximately 40% of all mortgages in the country) while it backs lenders into a corner by limiting their ability to foreclose. Those of us who didn't pay our mortgages on time and were smart enough to buy what we could afford continue paying for those who never should have a house in the first place. "

I don't think this guy is cherry picking the facts. For 6 years the Bush administration had the power to reverse or correct or deminish any previous liberal caused problems. This isn't one snapshot in time. Its over six years.
Housing market crashes?? Caused by Dodd's relationship with Countrywide?? That's another area the REP-AM dwells on.
Here's some facts. The last full quarter of the Bush Presidency (oct-dec 2008) the US lost over 1.5 million jobs. Check it out if you like. The numbers are there.
Now comes the OPINION part. Asking how many of those 1.5 million people without jobs were looking for homes?
How many of those 1.5 million newly jobless were being foreclosed on or losing their homes.
House prices, like oil and most everything else, is a supply vs demand.
With so many people losing or worrying about losing their jobs the demand shrived. And the supply increased.

BUT they were only 2 memebers of congress out of 543. And to lay everything on them was wrong.
I'm not sure if you like Obamacare or not because its highly controversal BUT it was passed because the DEMs controled the white House and Congress. According to this editorial Republicans controled both so there was plenty of time to fix, prevent or lessen the damages this recession did.
And if you read my post above, maybe the housing crisis would not have happened if millions of people weren't losing their jobs or having their hours cut.
You are absolutely right about CRA. It was meant to correct decades of banking discrimation. "

w is probably guilty of not trying hard enough to make changes. with that control, one would think he could have accomplished more. but, we all recently saw what a determined minority can do. and campaigning on making 'the American dream' affordable to their base was a staple of the democratic playbook during that time.
in my humble opinion, chris dodd was as crooked as crooked gets. he did what was good for chris, without much regard for anything else. "

I love when the republicans say it was Fannie and Freddie and the democrats that caused the mortgage meltdown and completely absolve george w bush and the republicans…..wow……..
They say the democrats made the banks lend to people that were not credit worthy……… creating the subprime market…..no one makes banks lend to anyone not meeting their underwriting criteria…….case in point after the bailout the banks would not lend to anyone and it wasn't even their own capital….it was the taxpayers money……also not all banks were in the subprime market… there was a bank that was the same size as the bank I worked at…….they did not get involved in the subprime market….when the market collapsed….. this bank was well capitalized and went out and bought many other banks….. I rest my case.
The people who make these assertions do not understand the subprime market….. how it was born and how it worked……..It all started with banks packaging their loans and selling them to investment banks…….who then sold them to investors……….the banks made their profit immediately…..they did not make it over the life of the loan as with traditional loans………the demand for these mortgage backed securities became a hot item on wall street…..the banks needed a large volume of loans to keep up with the demand and the profits were huge…..hence the underwriting standards kept getting lower and lower… to keep up with demand in the market for their new found product that was a gold mine………this of course drove the price of real estate higher and higher……..now the fatal mistake they somehow made was this was going to go on forever …….never end…………….well of course it did end…………and the rest is history……….
Investors have filed lawsuits against 15 investment banks ……as they misrepresented how risky these mortgage backed securities actually were.
We have barely started to see a recovery from this disaster and once again the republicans are calling to repeal dodd frank so they can operate in their own best interest once again……they do this under the guise that it will create jobs……….of course we all know better……

What we didn't want was a Wall Street that was able to manipulate the rules, make a few people wealthy and crash the economy. Kitty has filled you in on that.
That's what Dodd/Frank was about. Adding another layer of protection. Making the playing field a little leveler.
Your attitude has been, "It comes from Democrats so I must take the opposite side"
What I've found by reading all your posts here, and tell me if I'm wrong, is that you can't really join any conversation without injecting the "Gun issue" into it. "

This board is full of people like you - products of this Republican propaganda newspaper.
You're not a good American and you're certainly not a patriot. You're a republican and your only goal is to diminish anything positive democrats may accomplish.
There's always been two unemployment figures - the published government one and the unofficial one. But they're tied together so as the official one goes up or down, so does the unofficial one. If the official unemployment numbers drop,then so do the unofficial numbers. "Oh my! Obama may look good. Quick let me find something bad to say".
What you done, mainly to detract from the improving economy, is compare the unoffical one to the offical one.
People like you never ever look at an issue objectively. You first say, "what side are the liberals on? I must take the opposite side".
That's bad for the country and more importantly, its bad for your own mental tranquility.

You are all guilty of the very same thing you are accusing others of doing, yet there is never an admission thqat perhaps your sources ARE biased toward your viewpoint (they are) and you don't ever give credit to the Republican party for any good that they do, either. Nothing done by your party is ever the cause for any of the problems that we are facing in this country today. That is not the truth, but never will there be an admission by your side of that. Why does this newspaper insist on blaming Dodd for the recession? Probably because, despite what you liberal thinkers keep proclaiming, he IS very much responsible, among others. I know that Kitty-the-all-knowing has proclaimed ad-nauseam that banks can't be told to whom they should lend money, but that is exactly what happened. Get your heads out of the sand and just admit it. And, SandySocks, you have not been reading thoroughly if you can't admit Kitty is one of the MOST condescending posters here. Perhaps you don't think continually telling people that what you say is over their heads(to me that sounds an awful lot like telling someone "You're stupid-you're not as intelligent as I am") is name calling, but she certainly gets that point across. And she has posted many times with hatred. Just look up her venom-spewing comment regarding the Anti-gun rally. She may try to explain that away, there IS always an explanation from her, but the fact of the matter is that she stated that someone should see their child or grandchild blown away in front of them when they DARED to express an opinion at a rally.

The oh-so-lovely Garrett House at 741 N. Fourth St., one of the Bayberry Properties Bed and Breakfasts in Steubenville's Historic District, was the late-afternoon setting Nov. 14 for a VIP reception held for two special visitors to the area.
The Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce Lecture and Concert Series brought to town former Secret Service Agent Clint Hill and Lisa McCubbin, who wrote the best-seller book "Mrs. Kennedy and Me."
"An Historic Evening with Clint Hill" marked the first lecture in the series and was held later in the evening at Steubenville High School where approximately 1,000 people assembled in the auditorium to hear Hill's memories of being the Secret Service agent assigned to protect Jacqueline Kennedy and the first agent to reach the presidential limousine when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963.

The reception at the Garrett House gave about 70 guests a chance to not only mingle and enjoy refreshments but also to have a few moments of quality time with Hill and McCubbin. They waited patiently in line to get a copy of the book autographed and to have a souvenir photo taken, courtesy of Christina DiCarlo of Christina DiCarlo Photography of Mingo Junction.
The reception attracted local residents with a fascination for that period in history, including Weirton residents Denise Jansma and Elaine Palavis, and for some visitors who traveled a little greater distance, four of whom were John and Sandy Marshall of St. Clairsville along with Lois Huggins of Moundsville who had bought a ticket as a Christmas present for her brother, Joel Braun of Washington, Pa. I also met Beth and Bill Fairbanks, who likewise made the trip from St. Clairsville after having read in the newspaper about Hill's visit.
Ken Perkins and Suzanne Kresser of Tri-State Financial Services were the official chauffeurs for the visitors, greeting them at the airport and returning them there safely the following day. They enjoyed a meal at Naples restaurant in downtown Steubenville before the reception.
As Sue Hershey, chamber president, said, it was an exciting event for Steubenville to have such guests come to the town.
The commemorative program booklet included a number of JFK-era photographs, including ones that show Hill scrambling to climb into the presidential limousine as Jackie Kennedy reaches across the trunk moments after her husband was shot. There also is a photograph of Hill receiving a citation for "exceptional bravery" during a Dec. 3, 1963, ceremony in Washington, D.C.
I was all of 5 when Kennedy was assassinated and can only remember seeing some of the funeral on television, but like many other people have found that period of our history nothing short of captivating.
Major sponsors for the event included the chamber; the Herald-Star and The Weirton Daily Times; Eastern Gateway Community College; and the Franciscan University of Steubenville with event support also from Bayberry Bed and Breakfast, Apollo Pro Cleaning, Piergallini Catering and Steubenville City Schools.
I look forward to the spring to see what's next on the agenda for the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce Lecture and Concert Series.

I have two personal email accounts I have somewhat neglected, and they currently have a massive amount of email in them.
I am wanting to implement something like Inbox Zero with these two accounts,as well as a couple of others, such as my work email.
A lot of the emails are sales fliers, [monthly|weekly|daily] newsletters, recipes, e-magazines, etc
The account that has the most emails currently has over 8,100 unread emails in it.
I keep wanting to get it sorted and cut back on some of the email subscriptions, but the task is so overwhelming I don't even really know where to start. I work, and I have an infant in the house, and am remodeling my house, so I don't typically have big blocks of time to dedicate to tasks like this.
What is the best approach to get the emails down to a reasonable level, so as to be able to implement something along the lines of Inbox Zero?

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - Treating congestive heart failure can be tricky. Studies show a third of all patients wind up back in the hospital within a month.
Diagnosed with a weakened heart muscle 12 years ago, 34-year old Gerald Baldwin of Topeka has been in and out of the hospital the past few months. As his heart grew weaker, he said, he felt more and more tired and got to the point where laying down made him sit right back up, gasping for breath.
Dr. Thomas Doyle with Topeka's Cotton-O'Neil Heart Center hopes a procedure called aquapheresis can keep Baldwin out of the hospital for good.
Doyle said, with congestive heart failure, the body's normal mechanism for excreting salt and water begins misfiring, so a person retains more salt and water, leading to symptoms like Baldwin experienced. Diuretic medications can help, but increasing the dose as the heart gets weaker creates a greater risk. Doyle says the medications not only cause a person to lose water, they also cause a loss of potassium and magnesium, creating electrolyte imbalances which can lead to heart rhythm problems and even death.
Aquapheresis is thought to be a better way to help patients shed the water and salt. Through a large IV, blood is removed from the body and run through a filter system which removes the salt and water while leaving the potassium and proteins.
The result is removing more salt and water in a safer manner than with pills, cutting the likelihood of hospital readmissions in half.
While some facilities do the procedure on an outpatient basis, Stormont uses it on an inpatient basis, treating continuously over two to three days. Even with that, Doyle says the procedure cuts down on hospital days for the initial stay and eliminates future stays, thereby cutting costs, plus patients feel dramatically better and the benefits are longer term than just putting patients on more pills.
Baldwin is down 25 pounds in water weight in just two days. He says his breathing is much improved and he feels better.
Stormont's been using aquapheresis since May. So far, the patients treated with it have stayed out of the hospital.

Does the octic,

for any constant n have Galois group of order 1344? Its discriminant D is a perfect square,
$D = (1728n^4-341901n^3-11560361n^2+3383044089n+28121497213)^2$
Surely (1) is not an isolated result. How easy is it to find another family with the same Galois group and same form,
$\tag{2} \text{octic poly in}\ x = nx^2$
Perusing Kluener's "A Database For Number Fields" this seems to be the only one. (Though I was able to find a 2-parameter family of a different form.)

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - The man arrested for murder, kidnapping and rape charges in the death of an eight-year old girl has a history with authorities.
Shawnee County Court records show 28-year old Billy Davis was sentenced March 5, 2012, on an aggravated assault and aggravated battery case. He was given a suspended prison sentence and placed on probation after pleading no contest to charges he held a gun to a man's head at a Topeka apartment in December 2011.
The court record says the judge noted Davis was a veteran and ordered him to follow up with treatment for post traumatic stress disorder.
Davis also was convicted in Geary County for a 2009 criminal threat incident and in 2010 for domestic battery and criminal damage to property.
Geary County court documents state that on August 7, 2009, Davis was charged with Domestic Battery, Aggravated Assault, Criminal Threat and Endangering a Child after he threatened a woman with a gun while her five-month-old child was present. The documents indicate that Davis and the victim were living together. On August 31, 2009, Davis pleaded no contest to the Criminal Threat charge at his arraignment and was later placed on probation.
In another case from February of 2010 involving the same female victim, Davis was charged with two counts of Domestic Battery, Criminal Damage to Property and Violation of a Protection Order that ordered him to stay away from the victim- a condition of his probation from the 2009 case. The court documents indicate that Davis and the victim were once again living in the same house. In a plea agreement, Davis pleaded no contest to one count of Domestic Battery and Criminal Damage to Property. In July of 2010, he was sentenced to six months in the Geary County Jail but the court suspended the imposition of the sentence and Davis was placed on supervised probation for a year with Community Corrections.
A Geary County District Court order dated March 12, 2012 terminated his probation in both the 2009 and 2010 case- the day before he was arrested and charged in Topeka, accused of killing a little girl named Ahliyah Irvin
Davis is now jailed on charges of aggravated burglary, aggravated kidnapping, rape and felony first degree murder in connection with Irvin's death. The girl was found dead Tuesday morning at a Topeka apartment complex.

I've been kinda scared to talk about losing weight here, because that's not why you visit. I mean, it's January, and you're already bombarded with every other person you know talking about it on Facebook & Twitter & well… pretty much everywhere! Last weekend, I shared via Instagram that I had to buy new jeans – three sizes smaller than my old ones. Immediately I started getting questions about if I was losing weight. When I said I'd lost nearly 40 pounds, I got even more questions. So, I thought I'd share how I've changed my life a little and it got me into smaller jeans.
First things first: my weight loss wasn't a resolution that popped up when the calendar flipped. I actually started before Thanksgiving, and didn't even tell my husband I was doing if for the first 2 weeks. I didn't start some radical new weight loss plan. I'm not taking a magic pill. It pretty much boils down to two things….
eating croissants & playing games. Ok…ok…ok… it's really more about eating & moving.
What I eat is real, amazing food. I have much smaller portions than I did before, but I eat food that's so good it looks like it came from some famous French bistro. I take the time to actually enjoy it – slowing down the pace. Eating shouldn't be a race – I slowed down to enjoy every. single. bite. Doing that led to me eating much, much less and being satisfied longer between meals. I prepare 99% of the meals that I eat, which is turning me into something I never thought I would be: a foodie.
Going on a diet never worked for me. Seriously – I never stick with it more than 2 weeks, and then I end up gaining it all back. I'm not dieting, I've altered my eating, and plan on eating this way for the rest of my life. Since I'm heading towards 3 months into it, my only regret is that I didn't do this sooner.
Now let's talk about moving. I'm addicted to Just Dance, partly because it's fun, but even more because it's 2-3 hours a day that I get to spend just being goofy with my girls. What's better than dancing & laughing & having fun – with a bonus of losing weight?
So that's my big secret. Not really a secret, huh? Eat less, move more. The big thing was I learned how to eat things and how to move more, both which make me ridiculously happy. And fitting into smaller jeans, well that's just icing on the proverbial cake 🙂
What does this mean for my blog? Well, it's not turning into my weight loss journal (though you can follow @ShabbyCreek on Instagram if you want to cheer me on.) I may be posting a few more recipes, but y'all seem to be liking those, anyway 🙂 Other than that, not a thing. Except I might actually get more DIY done, because I have WAY more energy now. Just wanted to share my story with you.
