Agriculture & Food
Nothing is more basic to human well-being than having enough nutritious food to eat. Yet one in every eight people in the world — 842 million — are trapped in a cycle of hunger and poverty.
The reality is that most of the world doesn't have the benefit of picking up food from the corner store — they grow it themselves. Hunger is a crisis when disaster ruins the harvest. It is a cycle when families cannot grow or buy enough to lead healthy, productive lives, and when the effects of malnutrition are passed on to the next generation.
When food shortages occur due to drought and conflict, Mercy Corps helps prevent hunger and treat malnutrition in the most vulnerable — children, pregnant women, the elderly and the displaced. We distribute vouchers, cash or emergency rations, working with local suppliers to speed delivery, save money and boost local economies.
In addition to emergency responses, we focus on long-term solutions that build future food security.
Mercy Corps helps farmers manage their land, increase their harvests and diversify crops to produce a larger, more nutritious, and stable food supply. By teaching nutrition and hygiene, we ensure families can utilize their resources to boost their health. And we connect farmers with new markets and introduce more efficient methods of tending productive livestock and processing and storing crops to increase incomes for years to come.

Nepal: Helping Poor Farmers
In Nepal today, more than half the population has no access to even the most basic financial services. In rural areas, farming families are trapped in cycles of debt and are often forced to sell their crops at below market rates, further slipping into poverty.
Myanmar: Kitchen Gardens in Bo Kone
Bo Kone, Myanmar — Life here in Bo Kone, a village of about 1,000 people, has never been easy. Located on an isolated island in the Irrawaddy Delta, it's about an hour's boat ride to the nearest town.
Myanmar: A Welcome Harvest
Bo Kone, Myanmar - It would be hard to overstate the importance of rice to the people of Myanmar's Irrawaddy Delta. Rice is the staple food around which all meals are built. It is the cash crop that fuels the local economy.
Myanmar: Bold Woman Makes a Difference
Yangon, Myanmar - When a massive cyclone pounded Myanmar six months ago, Mra Sabai Nyun knew exactly what she wanted to do.
Myanmar: Navigating Change in the Delta
In early May, Cyclone Nargis tore through Myanmar's Irrawaddy Delta, its merciless rains and 120-mile-an-hour winds destroying hundreds of low-lying villages and killing more than 140,000 people.
Mongolia: Better School Lunches - No, Really
Bat-Ulzii, Mongolia - Throughout much of Mongolia, school meals are the only nutrition that students receive.
Mongolia: Shepherding Tradition
The title of "Master Herder" is reserved for a select few across Mongolia. It conjures up a distinct image: an aged but still eminently capable man dressed in traditional robes, standing on the vast steppes, exercising an almost mystical control over his livestock.
Mongolia: Miracle Growth
Bulgan soum, Mongolia - This is a story about how political transformation, tourism and tomatoes created an oasis in the southernmost reaches of Mongolia's Gobi Desert. It begins at the end of the country's 70-year-long communist era with a man named Poli.

Unanswered: JSBuilder and compiling custom classes file
I am trying to use your jsbuilder to compile custom file with only classes my app need. I want to use it along with sencha-touch.js instead of using sencha-touch-all.js in production.
However pather defined in "touch.jsb3" are not matching with those in the "src" folder and compiler can not pick up files to compile.
For example this is in the jsb3 file:
PHP Code:
"path": "../platform/core/src/",
"name": "Ext.js"
Do you guys have this pathes all wrong in the jsb3 files or it is me doing something wrong?

A Finish Carpenter's Bag of Tricks: Part 2
Collins Tool Miter Clamps
David Frane_ToTT
In the past I used extra nails to hold miters closed while the glue set. Now I use these small but powerful miter clamps. They aid in preassembly and eliminate the need for extra face nails – which is a plus when you're doing high-end work. You use the spreader tool to get the clamps open and then release them on to the outside of the mitered pieces. They are very stiff (that's why they clamp so well) so be careful not to get your finger caught between the jaws.
Festool Pocket Stick Fix Sanding Pad
I retired my traditional sanding block in favor of this sanding block from Festool. It's the only sander they make that does not have dust collection, but it's still a keeper. I like the quick change Velcro paper as well as the lipped design that allows it to fit into the small fillets and molding profiles we need to sand. You can use the Pocket Stick like a shoulder plane to sand into square inside corners. The proprietary replacement paper is pricey, but is high quality and lasts a long time.
Vaughan Molding Lifter
Every finish carpenter needs several small pry bars. This one has been my go-to model for the last few years. It has zero flex and can get into small area – but also works for larger tasks. And it's small enough to fit in a pocket.
Nelson Trim Shims
I'm all for buying premade shims – and these are phenomenal! I use them to tighten up inside corners and other areas where standard shims won't fit or would be wasted. Most of the time 0-1/8" of adjustment and these guys are perfect for that.
Crain 126 Heavy Duty Staple Remover
We don't use a lot of staples, but we seem to always be removing them. When we do, we use this purpose-built tool because it's much easier than prying staples out with a screwdriver. You can buy this tool online or anywhere that sells flooring supplies – it's often used to remove carpet and underlayment staples.
3M 9211 Particulate Respirator
I like these dust masks because they're comfortable, portable, and do not fog my eye protection. Their fold-flat design allows me to tuck them into a pocket or pouch so they are always nearby.
2-Way Radios
When we trim rooms with high ceilings I'll be on the scaffolding while my dad is at the cut station – which is frequently in a different room. I got tired of hollering dimensions and instructions back and forth between rooms so I bought a pair of 2-way radios (these happen to be Blackbox models – but any good brand would work). Now we each carry these radios on our belts. My Dad turns his up really loud so he can hear my requests while he's at the cut station. The only problem is getting both parties to speak and respond with proper radio communication, these are not cell phones. "10-4".
This is tool from Glen Drake Toolworks is the hammer I use when the chisels come out. It packs a punch but fits in the palm of my hand or in a pocket. It's handy for installing locksets, hardware, or anything else where a regular hammer would be too much.
Volt Snooper
I used to plug in a power tool to see if the line was hot, but that was just silly. Now I use a Volt Snooper, a non-contact voltage detector that can be used to check outlets or wires we stumble across when opening up walls. You can stick the end of the device into a receptacle or clamp it around a wire. If the item is hot a light in the Volt Snooper will come on and it will emit a loud beep.
Tajima Chalk-Rite II
I dislike most chalk lines because they are bulky and spill chalk all over the place. The Chalk-Rite II is great. It produces a very thin line and has a geared reel that winds the quickly. The line passes through an O-ring seal so chalk doesn't come spilling out with it. I like the low-profile housing and the little keeper that secures the hook. I keep a few of these around with different colors for corrective layout.
Shinto Saw Rasp
This is not your usual rasp or a tool I use every day. But when I need it, it's great. I use it to clean out cuts, adjust cuts that do not intersect, and for anything else where I might use a wood rasp. It consists of 10 hardened steel blades (think double-sided hack saw blades) riveted together and attached to a handle. One side is fine and the other is coarse.
Veto Pro-Pak Tech XL
I carry my everyday tools in Pro-Pak bag. It's pricey, but tough and reliable. The small size of this bag forces me to be organized even though I just throw tools in at the end of the day. The slim profile takes up little space in the back of my vehicle and the shoulder strap allows me to sling it so I can free up a hand, which means fewer trips when loading and unloading.
Last month I wrote about 12 items that live in my tool bag and come with me to every job. It'd be a pretty small bag if that's all it held, so here are 12 more tools I could not live without.
A few are tools everyone has but most are specialty items that make it easier to do my job. For a look at a framer's take on this subject, see Framer's Everyday Carry.

Climate Smart Cape Town Pavilion wins at COP17
The Climate Smart Cape Town Pavilion has won the best outdoor and best overall stand in the Climate Change Response Expo at COP17. The pavilion, constructed from 1884 plastic milk crates and more than 22,000 plastic bottles, is a completely sustainable structure that will be dismantled after COP17, with all materials re-used.
Capetonians in Durban felt right at home at the stand. It was designed with different coloured crates to create the outline of Table Mountain flanked by Lion's Head and Devil's Peak, with the entrance symbolising the Camissa River and the role it played as a life source in Cape Town's history.
An ingenious and inspired design by ST&AR Architects and Project Manager, Stephen Lamb of Touching the Earth Lightly, the stand has excellent natural heating and cooling properties as a breathing organism. Harnessing the power of the sun with solar panels, and the wind with a wind turbine on the roof, the stand is completely off the electricity grid.
I spoke to Stephen Lamb and asked him about their objectives in designing the stand in this way, and how he felt about the result. "Firstly, this was a team effort by a dedicated and passionate team ranging from the architect in Cape Town to the local Durban contractors who were willing to think out of the box, and then having a client – the City of Cape Town – which was willing to believe in us," said Lamb. "The pavilion is a bold statement about getting off the energy grid, in fact putting energy back in, into which we wove this beautiful story of the Camissa and how it shaped who we are. It is a privilege to be here and do this for Cape Town and Capetonians – this stand is local, it's lekker and fun for people to experience."
Organic lettuces planted in 250 milk crates alongside the outer walls of the stand can be served to delegates as fresh salad, with remaining lettuces donated at the end of the climate change conference to less fortunate communities.
The City of Cape Town and its coalition partners' projects to establish a low carbon economy in Cape Town are displayed around the stand on 22 beautifully designed posters, DVD, handpicked printed brochures and guides with tips.
The unusually stormy weather in Durban has served the Cape Town delegation well as rainwater is collected off the roof of the pavilion (illustrated in the image above), filtered and served to delegates at COP17 as a refreshing drink with flavoured buchu and mint leaves. The interior has been created from timber from alien trees felled by Working for Water – sending another water wise message.
It was a busy first day at COP17 for the Climate Smart Cape Town Coalition team with a steady stream of visitors to our stand ranging from high ranking United Nations climate advisors, to private sector representatives, public officials from various departments, and a large number of citizens with a keen interest in climate change and what is happening at COP17.
Our stand also welcomed groups of learners from Cowan House who visited COP17 on an educational tour. Stephen Lamb was on hand to share the principles of the Climate Smart Cape Town Pavilion with awed learners. Asked what the most important lesson was that she took away from the demonstration, Grade 6 learner Thina Dumalisile said, "I learned that water is special and must be used wisely." Her classmate Jamie Loader affirmed, "If we use up all of the water, in future it will come back to haunt us."
The day ended on a high note at 17h30, with the launch of the stand where our visitors learned more about the Climate Smart Cape Town Coalition, enjoyed Cape sparkling wines and fresh fruit, and exchanged ideas around climate change with the My Cape Town music video playing in the background and one or two delighted guests taking home their own organic crops.

Local law enforcement officers will collect unwanted prescription drugs from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday at the following locations:
Local law enforcement officers will collect unwanted prescription drugs from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday at the following locations:
• Leavenworth Police Department — Price Chopper, 2107 S. Fourth St.
• Leavenworth County Sheriff's Office — CVS Pharmacy, 390 Limit St.
• Leavenworth County Sheriff's Office — Dillons, 720 Eisenhower Road
• Lansing Police Department — Lansing City Hall, 800 First Terrace
• Fort Leavenworth — AAFES Post Exchange, 330 Kansas Ave., Building 700
• Tonganoxie Police Department — Downtown Drug Store, 516 E. Fourth St.
• Platte City, Mo., Police Department — Price Chopper, 2600 Ensign Hill Drive
Area residents may want to clean out medicine cabinets Saturday as local law enforcement agencies set up drop-off points for safe disposal of old prescription drugs.
Various drop-off sites will be set up from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. in Leavenworth and Lansing as part of National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day, a federal Drug Enforcement Administration initiative.
The Leavenworth Police Department will be collecting unwanted prescription drugs at Price Chopper, 2107 S. Fourth St.
"We've been doing this for probably four years now," said Maj. Dan Nicodemus, Leavenworth Police Department deputy chief.
He said there's a number of reasons for properly disposing of unwanted medications.
Nicodemus said it used to be common for people to flush unwanted drugs down the toilet, but this can contaminate the water supply.
He said simply throwing away unused drugs can present its own problems.
"There are people who go through the trash," he said.
Old medications kept in a home can be stolen and abused.
"It's not uncommon for us to have a report of the theft of medication," Nicodemus said.
He said it seems the Police Department collects in excess of 100 pounds each time it hosts a Drug Take-Back Day drop-off location.
He said the collected drugs are turned over to the DEA for disposal.
The last National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day was in the fall.
"They always have them in the fall, and they always have them in the spring," Leavenworth County Undersheriff Jim Sherley said.
Last fall marked the first time the Leavenworth County Sheriff's Office participated in Drug Take-Back Day.
Sherley said the Sheriff's Office will be participating again Saturday, and this time deputies will be staffing two locations.
Deputies will be collecting prescription drugs at Dillons, 720 Eisenhower Road, and CVS Pharmacy, 390 Limit St.
Sherley said the Sheriff's Office added CVS this time around at the request of the pharmacy's corporate headquarters.
"They made the formal request," he said.
Sherley said officials hope to create a permanent drop-off location for the Sheriff's Office so people will be able to dispose of their old medications throughout the year.
Members of the Lansing Police Department will be collecting old medications at Lansing City Hall, 800 First Terrace.
Capt. Ben Ontiveros said the public has provided positive feedback about the department's participation in previous Drug Take-Back events.

How do I calculate the exit vectors of colliding projectiles?
The asker posted a question to which I responded with an explanation, an illustration, and a proof of concept. The asker expressed doubts about the answer despite proof. The answer was later down-voted by someone else, with the askers doubtful comment getting an up-vote. This is a question regarding physics and illustration clearly proves my answer as being correct.
The asker revealed further requirements after a discussion, so I posted a new answer taking the new requirements into account. I left my original answer as it correctly addresses the original question.
Another commenter believes the answer is an "over simplification", however almost all physics equations are simplified in programming, or rather, calculated with only as much accuracy as required. I could have included a fully physically correct answer, but my answer addressed exactly what the asker wanted.
I'm fairly new to Stack Overflow so I don't know if this sort of behaviour is tolerated, or accepted, or maybe even encouraged? As a contributor its very demotivating to spend time answering questions only to have the effort go unrecognised, or marked as "wrong" simply because an ignorant person doesn't "believe" the answer. Is this something that can be expected to happen often?

KILLEEN (December 6, 2012) --- Close to 900 students in one local area are currently homeless, but there's a way to help these students during the holidays.
The clothing and toy drive called Operation Red Nose started Thursday and will be accepting donations at Metroplex Hospital in Killeen until December 16th at 2 p.m.
Items collected will go to students in the Killeen and Copperas Cove school districts.
Toys, clothing, or even gift cards and money are needed to help out the cause.
"They're going to be able to come back to school in January and say I got this for Christmas or I got that and they're going to be just like the rest of the kids which is kind of our goal and not draw attention to them so they'll be just like everybody else," Christina Wilson, of KISD's Homeless Awareness Response Program, said.
Donations can be dropped off in Killeen at Metroplex Hospital at the Behavioral Health Center Building.
For more information or to volunteer contact Margaret Alexander at (254) 519-8200.

The Time is Now to Help
Hoping to be top CNN Hero
December 08, 2011
We are in the final week before the "CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute" show airs live on CNN at 7 p.m. Dec. 11. It has been a whirlwind of activity for The Time Is Now to Help. I thank everyone who took the time to vote for me/The Time Is Now To Help over the last few months. We thank CNN that our charity has been recognized internationally for the good works all of "us" do in our communities. If we are not chosen as the top honoree, we will be grateful for the $50,000 that CNN will award The Time Is Now To Help next week. Also the honor of our charity bringing to light the plight of so many in our country right now. Every penny of these funds will help the many, many fellow creations turning to us in desperation. I was thinking back on all the stories I brought to you since CNN began their filming. There were many people that were provided assistance that CNN did not put in the film.

A deserving family in need
January 20, 2011
Dear W.C., I know a family that is having a very hard time. I know they are late on their rent. They have two young children. The father lost his job last summer. The mother was hit by a hit-and-run driver and was left handicapped. They do not receive enough assistance from disability and unemployment. Due to all the medical bills and threats from the bill collectors they have been left broke. I have known this family for many years and know they are good people. They have always lived frugally and have a devout belief in God. They do not have gas for their car. I have offered to drive them on several occasions but they have declined. I think they are too embarrassed to accept any help. They have even declined my requests to visit due to their embarrassment of not being able to afford heat. I do not know how they are feeding everyone and keeping a roof over their heads. Please help this deserving family.

The Fall Summertime Foundation $10,000 Matching Grant = $20,000 Poverty AssistanceThank you to everyone that contributed to The Fall Summertime Foundation $10,000 Matching Grant. This matching grant enabled us to provide $20,000 in assistance to many struggling poverty stricken fellow Americans. As families all over the United States sat down to a delicious Thanksgiving meal, many went hungry. As the weather becomes colder, many senior citizens, handicapped, and children face possible eviction and/or are living without utilities. So many people are unable to have their cars repaired and face loss of their job. Your donations, combined with The Summertime Foundations generous matching funds, prevented many from facing great hardship. Thank you for your continued support of our mission The Time Is Now to Help and thank you for Caring & Sharing. Together we have eased the pains of poverty for our fellow creations. God Bless you for helping. THIS IS HOW WE HELPED:

Our solution is love
November 24, 2011
The good news of what we are accomplishing together, helping our fellow creations, is moving people all over the world. It is wonderful to share with both CNN and CBS what The Time Is Now to Help accomplishes on an everyday basis. Everything could have stopped after one visit from CNN, after three visits their interest keeps growing. Last week CBS Steve Hartman spent a long day with us filming for his segment on the CBS Evening News called On the Road. Now Fox News has asked me to come to their studio to do a live Thanksgiving Day presentation. It is absolutely wonderful that our caring and sharing for our fellow creations is turning heads all over the world. In the midst of recession, political fighting, we are showing the world how we have come together in harmony, doing Gods will to love one another. When CNN was in town taping their program to air on the CNN Heroes: An All Star Tribute on Dec. 11, at 7 p.m. CST on CNN, I did a follow up visit to a family that is struggling with the head of the household who is now a quadriplegic. He was once a healthy man, but a disease set in and is progressively paralyzing his entire body, even into his vocal cords. I do have handicapped people that I occasionally check on because they are in situations where they are just making ends meet. If a requirement comes up for one of those necessities of life, it throws their budget off and they fall behind. When I drove up to their house I noticed their handicapped van had severely deteriorated. The rust had progressed to the point my whole arm could go through the side of the van. When I opened the door I noticed rust had permeated along with the moisture inside of the van. The roof was rusting in. The entire van was in very poor shape.

Thank you for Caring and Sharing. Together we make our communities a better place to live.THIS IS HOW WE HELPED:
The Time is Now to Help
CNN visit continued
November 03, 2011
There were two important questions that CNN asked me. How does The Time Is Now to Help have no overhead? How do you accomplish helping so many people? I personally cover all expenses for The Time Is Now to Help, I always have. Every penny donated by a supporter is utilized to help the poverty-stricken. The Time Is Now to Help has no salaries, no reimbursements, and no office expenses. Presently my company, Lake Geneva Area Realty, provides all necessities, office space, computers, printing, volunteers, etc. All at no cost to The Time Is Now to Help. I have an outside audit completed annually that shows all income and expenses. The reason I began The Time Is Now to Help is because I was appalled by all the charities I used to give to that had extensive overhead with only 10 percent, 20 percent, or 30 percent really going towards their cause. I made a promise to God to help others that were having hard times. I personally cannot help all those that we have found in desperate need by myself. That is why I need your help, your support. The only way I can truly earn that support is by making sure every penny you donate, 100 percent, provides shelter, utility assistance, food, clothing, toiletries, household necessities, daily necessities of life, to those that are living in desperate need, living with the fear and pains of poverty. How do we help so many people? I showed CNN many examples. I received a request for help from a very good person I have known for a few years. Since I knew this person I knew the request would be desperate. The request was regarding an elderly widow living in a condemned place. I quickly set up a meeting. I took CNN with me to show how we help. When we arrived I saw the elderly widow, who appeared to be much older than we later found out. I could see the widow was very bewildered not only by her situation but also because she was being told there would be help. I found out that a government entity that should have offered assistance had known about her situation for over a year, and nothing had changed. The widow doubted she would receive any help and I did not blame her. A big part of my being is getting people to open up and understand we are there to help, and we do.

Telling stories of hope
October 27, 2011
CNN returned to film The Time Is Now To Help at work assisting our fellow Americans. They spent three full days with me this past week documenting our mission for the upcoming Tribute show to air live on CNN Dec. 11, 2011. This time I took CNN to the Lake Geneva Regional News, where The Time Is Now to Help column was first published. We met with the editor Lisa Seiser, the general manager John Halverson, and all the wonderful staff. CNN also interviewed John and Lisa. The Lake Geneva Regional News was the beginning network of reaching out to those living in the pains of poverty and finding solutions to remove the tears of sorrow, loneliness, hopelessness, and fear. We have turned thousands of peoples lives from sadness to happy tears, letting them know we care. We have provided compassion, relief, given hope, and supplied the daily necessities of life.

Golden years a struggle for couple
October 06, 2011
Dear W.C.,My husband and I are having a very hard time. We are one month behind on our rent and have not been able to pay our utilities. My husband has cancer. The doctor says he has about nine months to live. He has his good days and his bad. I am disabled due to my extensive arthritis. I have had several fractures because of my osteoporosis. We are both senior citizens in our seventies and living on our social security. The money we saved for our retirement was gone the first year of my husbands illness. We could not afford supplemental insurance and Medicare did not cover all of his treatment costs. I skip some of my prescriptions so my husband can have his. We never thought our golden years would be like this. Each day brings mental anguish. Please help us.

I certainly do not help my fellow creation for the recognition or publicity. It comes from my heart and my deep belief in God. Our fellow creations who are surviving in this recession are the true heroes, not me. God Bless Everyone,

Halloween - 08-03-2013, 12:59 AM
Why? Because it's the only thing keeping me sane at the moment. I don't care if it's 90 days away. I want fun. I NEED FUN. So humor me.
This is a thread for all Halloween gibberish. But lets start easy. What was your most embarrassing Halloween costume of your childhood? Anyone? Anyone? Me? I was a Red Crayola Crayon one year. Complete with red painted face, red sweat pants, and red shoes. 2nd place is the year my sister and I dressed up as clowns.
Dear God, please don't ever let me embarrass my daughter like my mother did I, lol. Of course, the crayon was my choice, a very, VERY, bad choice, but mine none the less. I was forced into the clowns outfit. My mom even went through the trouble of painting her white canvas sneakers red for us to wear over our shoes. We were preschool. She wore size 9.5-10's That was very, very difficult to trick or treat in!
In other news, I'm trying to find an awesome costume trio idea for me, my husband, and our daughter. Last year we did Red Riding Hood. Gracie was Little Red, obviously, Aaron was the hunter, and I was Granny.
This year I'm torn. It'll probably be my last year picking for Gracie, so I want to make it good. And my other problem is I'm a HUGE DIYourselfer, so it has to be something I can make. I'm toying with Pirates, with Gracie as the captain and Aaron and I as her crew, Wonderland, with Gracie as the Queen of Hearts (because she's stolen ours completely) and Aaron as the Mad Hatter, and me as...don't know. Alice I guess? And lastly Oz, with Gracie as Dorthy, Aaron as something and me as something. Not sure to that effect! Anyone have a trio idea for us? My only must have is Gracie has to be boss/leader/cutest. I just think that's cute because she rules our world.
Yeah yeah, mommy can't stop talking baby. I know. I bore everyone, lol. Anyone remember my Pumpkin thread from last year? If we get back on our feet in time I totally plan on reviving it. Anyone with me? Anyone? I was disapointed last year being the only pumpkin carver on this site. So sad. Much sadness.
Annnnnnnd, that's it. I'm all Halloweened out for this post. So blab your Halloween thoughts here. Or am I the only one excited and looking forward to it this early? xD
Awwwww! That is such a cute picture. What about Gracie being a cute little ghost and you and Aaron being ghost hunters?
Being single doesn't make you weak, it means that you are strong enough to be on your own; Being alone could be a good thing, because there is no drama involved in your life, no pain, and free to do what ever you want. Life is too short to be chasing those who aren't even worth fighting for, you are worth more than that.
Well I'm just gonna post everything I ever was lol
Year one: Bunny Rabbit. My mom stuck hangers in the ears so they stood up. There is a picture of me on the kitchen floor munching on a baby carrot in that costume.
Year two: Lampchop. This one involved A LOT of hot glue and cotton balls. She even gave me a little bit of nose makeup.
Year three: Monarch butterfly. She studied pictures of them so that she could make anatomically correct wings, armed with her handy hot glue gun and felt. No picture for this one since none have been scanned in yet.
Year four: Daisy Duck. My family and I went to Disney World that year, and I came back with a Daisy hat (the kind where her bill was the bill of the hat). Mom made me a fluffy duck but.t.
Year five: Dorothy Gale. Mom prided herself on this one because she followed the design used in the movie to a T, even going so far as to hot glue extra bows and rhinestones on the store-bought ruby slippers. She was most proud of giving me the properly blue socks if I remember it right.
Year six: Sock Hop Girl. Except instead of a pink poodle skirt, I had a red scottie dog skirt. I think I had saddle shoes, too. No picture here either (not that it would matter since I'm already at the post image limit lol)
Year seven: Spider Witch. We picked out special fabric that had glow in the dark spider webs on it. Looking back, it was probably one of my lesser favorites.
Year eight: Angel. The hot glue gun made a triumphant return, as my mother spent lord knows how long hot gluing a bunch of white feathers to a cardboard cutout of wings. I had a golden rope and white robe, too. Can't remember if there was a halo (there probably was) because those wings are what stick out in my memory. She probably never wanted to see a feather ever again lol
Year nine: Hermione Granger. The first of the store bought costumes. Year nine was...2002, so the movies were still a fairly new thing.
Year ten: I kid you not, I was a Ham and Cheese sandwich. I even had a pickle had with a toothpick in it. It was made out of foam and craft foam and dowel road and cellophane and pipe cleaners and basically everything you could find in a craft store haha. If I ever scan in the pictures, I'll be sure to upload them because it was pretty great. It was a sandwich-board style costume (a la an Eat at Joe's sign) that I wore over an all white outfit.
Year eleven: Renaissance Lady. The second of the store bought costumes, albeit a little big at the time. But it came into play many, many times.
Year twelve: I was going to go as Elphaba, but the green cold creme bothered me to the point that I don't think I even went trick-or-treating that year. That was probably my most embarrassing costume.
Year thirteen (The Thirteenth Year! Disney? Anybody?): No, I was not a mermaid...I was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, or so I told myself because I was wearing my Yertle the Turtle shirt and shell from Suessical the previous summer, coupled with plain old jeans and gym shoes. I didn't even have a badana or any weapons haha.
Year fourteen: The first return of the renaissance lady, I think? I can't remember if I dressed up at all that year, actually.
Year fifteen: The second (or first?) return of the renaissance lady. I was able to fit into it a bit better by then. I told you, that thing got some serious use.
Year sixteen: Aha! That year I had a silk Chinese outfit, black pants, my fake hair, and chopsticks. I didn't trick or treat, but I wore it to my youth group's Halloween dance (as I had done the previous year and continue to do to this day)
Year seventeen: Lumberjack. I didn't have anything planned, so I wore my reversible puffy vest with the red and black side out, my dads work gloves, my hiking/snow boots, one my dad's hats, and jeans, and I made myself a little axe out of cardboard and acrylic paint. First costume I sort of made myself, I guess.
Year eighteen: Didn't have time to change into an outfit after coming directly from a speech tournament, but my hair was short and I was wearing a suit, so I said I was Regina from Once Upon A Time. And I think I actually looked a bit like her.
Year nineteen: Jeff, our youth minister, let me borrow a red and black witch costume somebody gave the group. It was a bit of a tight squeeze, but it had a hoop skirt and was pretty fun to walk around in.
Year twenty: Who knows? Maybe college will bring some new inspiration lol
By the way, Gracie is a much more photogenic baby than I was, haha. I like the idea of you all as Wizard of Oz characters (it holds a special place in my heart as you know), but I think that works best if there are four of you dressing up. I mean, I guess you could be Glinda and Aaron could be the Wizard? I don't know...I think, in terms of trios, it could be cute if you go as Snap, Crackle, and Pop, or some other triad of cereal mascots. You could also do Pebbles, Velma, and Fred Flintstone or something like that? Now I'm just vomiting ideas all over this post, sorry haha.
I've never had an embarrassing Halloween costume, simply cuz from the word go, my parents let me choose mine every year. XD I was a cat most of the time, and sometimes I was a wolf.
As for trios, I like the idea of Dorothy, Glinda and the Wizard of Oz. Sounds fun. xD As a Pegasister, I'd suggest going as the Cutiemark Crusaders but I guess that Aaron would veto that!
We decided on Pirates this year for several reasons. 1, we have a coat we're dying red and trimming with gold for Gracie's birthday party (she's dressing up as ring leader) so the coat can work double duty for pirate. 2, Gracie will want a say next year and there's plenty of opportunity for girly outfits so Pirate needs to be done asap, lol. 3, she would pull off the crown I love for the queen of hearts and plus queen of hearts takes makeup which would be easier to apply to a 3 year old vs a 2 year old.
So this year pirates, next year queen of hearts, and after that its Gracie's choice.
Also, I've been on the black hole of time named Pinterest. These photos are evidence of productivity in such a black hole, lol. Found out I'll be Cheshire Cat. Aaron will be Mad Hatter, and Gracie the queen, all for next year of course.
I also found doll makeup tutorial and had fun with that since no one is on TDP in contests or club #lonely #neverusedhashtagssoimthatlonely. Lol

United States will surive radicalism of Obama regime
History shows radical presidential administrations have tried and failed to cause permanent change in America. Our country is not perfect, but ultimately, the system set up by our Founding Fathers surpasses anything thought up by progressive extremists. America will survive this.
President Obama is a Marxist. I encourage all to read Karl Marx's "Das Kapital," or any biography of Vladimir Lenin. However, Mr. Obama and his radical administration will fail to transform America into a socialist nation. Their base of support is dwindling. The remaining supporters are uninformed and ignorant of history. I have asked Obama supporters about Marx and Lenin. They have never heard of them. I recently quoted Lenin in conversation. The woman I was speaking with thought I was quoting musician John Lennon. This is how out of touch Obama supporters are.

Our major investment banks were crashing and taking our whole financial system down with it. the stock market lost over half its value going from $14,200 to $6500 with no end in sight.
Monthly job loses were in the hundreds of thousands. For example the last three months of Bush's presidency we lost over 1,500,000 jobs. Check it out.
This newspaper loves to blame the Democrats and Dodd in particular for this nations demise but the first six years of Bush's adminestration had Republican majorities in the house and Senate. Every congressional committee and sub committee was headed by a Republican.
You make your arguement against Obama by labeling and name calling. When a person actually looks at the facts they'll see the direction this nation is really taking. Upward. "

Thieves!!! You say "Thieves" Blue!! Didn't you see the front page of today's paper concerning medical/hospital costs? Why do you think Waterbury Hospital wants to go "For profit" so badly.
What do you think their plan is? Once Waterbury goes "Profit" they have to pay property taxes to the city on all their buildings, land and equipment. Plus all sorts of corporation taxes. Then turn a profit for their shareholders. Where do you think all that extra revenue is going to come from?
Don't you see a Red Flag.
You know, unless we're Bill Gates or Warren Buffet types, we're all just one good illness away from bankrupcy. Almost 60% of personal bankrupcies are due to medical costs.
What this newspaper, and the hospital have done is switch the blame over to the unions and Malloy. A smoke screen.
Yeah, I know you guys have total hatred for Malloy, but ask yourselves this, "Maybe this is the one time Malloy got it right" "

As far as the economy coming back? It's not rebounding very slowly because of Obama. It's rebounding very slowly DESPITE of Obama. Call it racism, partisan politics, whatever. Had Romney been elected, there would already have been a huge resurgence in the economy.
He has been trying to divide us by income bracket, by sex, religion, and race. He wants us fighting each other on the front lawn so he can come in the back door and steal our country. He is a traitor, plain and simple.
I think we here writing all want the same things and have different ideas how to achieve them. Safety, success for our children, freedom to worship ect. I also believe some in Hartford and DC want something totally different from us and disguise it. "

I'm looking for a way to put a small lamp inside a piece of furniture through which I do not want to drill any holes or run wires along. Are there any premade induction power systems that can get a few watts across less than half an inch separation? I'm flexible about the voltage and whether it ends up as AC or DC since I can just choose a lamp appropriate for it.
It is possible, but the energy losses are great, and the insulator (your desk) will heat up, probably causing heat damage. Even then, the receiving coil wouldn't be integrated into the base of the lamp.
In short, there's no way this wouldn't be even more obtrusive than a cord hanging off the side of your desk. If the desk is against a wall, probably better to put in a desk height electrical outlet.
The reason induction charging works for cell phones is due to tiny air gaps, low power requirements, and generally good heat dissipation compared to energy losses. Only a tiny fraction of the used power actually makes it to the cell phone. But the phone is storing that, so eventually (over the course of an evening) the phone is charged. By the way, most phones lack receiving coils, so you still have to plug in a receiving coil and wire into the phone charging jack.
Power that is not directed tends to dissipate according to the inverse square law. Even if it didn't, the losses in transforming the power to wireless and back are quite large. Some of the wireless community is quick to point out the wire transmission losses, but that's nothing compared to wireless.
With a lamp, you'll need a lot more power, and continuous power, so the issues with induction fed systems will become a lot more apparent. I would recommend a battery powered LED desk lamp (with a set of rechargeable batteries). The LEDs will extend the time between recharges.
There are inductive cell phone chargers, however these will probably give at most a watt of power only. If you need more power than a cell phone charger can give you could consider cannibalizing an old induction stove or electric tea pot.
In general, the power you get out is necessarily AC due to the physics of induction and will probably be inefficient.

It always is a trade off to decide whether to strip debugging information from an executable but in this case (or in the kernel or other core functions) can serve to optimize the execution speed whether or not it makes it slightly harder to debug issues or poke at the innards of a program.
We likely won't know the reason why this was done, but it is common practice to sample apps over time and select the ones that use the most of the CPU time so that you only optimize code that requires it as opposed to optimizing it all.

Exclusive interview with Senator Marco Rubio on WaPo's story about his family history
posted at 3:07 pm on October 21, 2011 by Ed Morrissey
Just moments ago, I had the opportunity to speak with Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) about the attack piece from the Washington Post on supposed "embellishments" of Rubio's family history. Rubio gave an impassioned defense of his family's experience as exiles, and ripped the Post's reporter for not doing proper research on the matter, as well as noting pointedly that the reporter is in the middle of writing a book about Rubio. I also ask the Senator about his dispute with Univision, about which he prefers to just say that the Miami Herald's report that Univision tried to strongarm him into an appearance is "accurate." I'll have more later on this interview, after I conclude today's TEMS, but the interview speaks for itself:
Rubio also has a response at Politico that covers much the same ground:
The Washington Post on Friday accused me of seeking political advantage by embellishing the story of how my parents arrived in the United States.
That is an outrageous allegation that is not only incorrect, but an insult to the sacrifices my parents made to provide a better life for their children. They claim I did this because "being connected to the post-revolution exile community gives a politician cachet that could never be achieved by someone identified with the pre-Castro exodus, a group sometimes viewed with suspicion."
If The Washington Post wants to criticize me for getting a few dates wrong, I accept that. But to call into question the central and defining event of my parents' young lives – the fact that a brutal communist dictator took control of their homeland and they were never able to return – is something I will not tolerate.
Be sure to read it all.
Update: Here's a press release from the University of Miami's Institute for Cuban and Cuban-American Studies:
The Washington Post seems to have very little understanding of the Cuban exile experience and what it means to be an exile. Marco Rubio's family was forced to stay in America because they refused to live under a communist system. That makes them exiles. It makes no difference what year you first arrived. The fundamental Cuban exile experience is not defined according to what year Cubans left, but rather by the simple, painful reality that they could not return to their homelands to live freely.
Further, The Washington Post falsely and without proof, writes that "being connected to the post-revolution exile community gives a politician cachet that could never be achieved by someone identified with the pre-Castro exodus, a group sometimes viewed with suspicion."
This is simply false. I have spent my career studying the Cuban exile community and can say with authority that no distinction is made within the exile community between those who arrived in the years leading up to the revolution, and those who came after. They all share the painful heritage of not being able to return home. It's no wonder The Washington Post made this claim without a single bit of proof to back it up. Because it doesn't exist.
In the Cuban exile community, there are many stories like Marco Rubio's family. Many children of exiles don't know precisely what dates their parents left Cuba, went back to Cuba or ultimately determined Cuba was heading in the wrong direction under Castro. But they do know that the reason they were born in the United States or now live here is because their parents are exiles because they refused to raise them in Castro's Cuba.

I have just watched the Green's theorem proof by Khan. At 7:40 he explains why for a conservative field, the partial differentials under the double integral: $$\int \int_R \left( \frac{\partial Q}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial P}{\partial y}\right ) dA$$ must be equal. He says:
(...) if F is conservative, which means it's the gradient of some function, it's path-independent, the closed integral around any path is equal to 0. (...) this thing right here [the difference under the integral] must be equal to 0. That's the only way that you're always going to enforce that this whole integral is going to be equal to 0 over any region. I'm sure you could think of situations where they cancel each other out, but really over any region that's the only way that this is going to be true.
1) What are the examples of two partials such that $\frac{\partial Q}{\partial x} \neq \frac{\partial P}{\partial y}$ whose double integrals are equal over a region and therefore cancel each other out?
2) If there exist examples for 1) (cancelling out locally), why is it impossible to define partials whose integrals cancel out over any region?

Christian Louboutin: 10 Things Every Woman Should Have
Christian Louboutin makes some of the sexiest shoes in the world, so it's no wonder his picks are overtly feminine: A body-gripping pencil skirt, smoky French hosiery, and more.
It was nearly 20 years ago that Christian Louboutin, in a moment of inspiration, brushed red nail polish on the bottoms of a pair of pumps and rewrote (shoe) history. Since then, the French designer has learned a lot about women's taste. He believes women see stilettos as "pedestals" on which to stake their sexuality, much as a showgirl climbs on the stage. His current collection includes thorn-studded sandals and six-inch-plus heels; even the more modest Pigalle pump has a thrusting, erotic vibe. Women who balk at wearing such shoes are "afraid of their own powers of seduction," says Louboutin, whose advice is to give it a try. "It's OK to be the wife and the girlfriend," he says.
10 of 10
"Meet people from other cultures, so you understand that the world doesn't swirl around you."

I introduced Mercurial to my department. I love it, but it is my first version control experience. I am using it with NetBeans PHP for web development.
Another developer who works on internal company applications likes using Visual Source Safe and does not want to switch. He works in a Visual Studio environment.
All the other developers have bought into Mercurial except this one. For the most part though, we all work pretty independently.
I am trying to move this department in the right direction, I have set everyone up with an account on Kiln, I was hoping to get everyone using Fogbugz down the road as well (since there is currently no bug database being maintained.) I have never used VSS but I hear very bad things about it.
Would it be better to just allow him to continue using VSS if that's what he prefers, or would it be in best interest to get him on board with Mercurial?

I usually wear Je Reviens by Worth, have done for over 50 years, and thought I'd try this for a change!! I do have a selection of over 200 perfumes as well, but I've worn Courtesan all week now and each day, some-one has commented on a lovely perfume that's 'drifted by'...so it's subtle, not overbearing. . I ALWAYS wear perfume and this holds the scent for hours and hours. Don't know how I've missed it before!

I have no idea what the thing I'm looking for is called, so I'm going with "quick problem highlighting line scroll-gutter". This is also the reason why I might have missed a proper answer on this forum (apologies if that's the case).
Most IDEs I use have a special view component which seems to be a part of JScrollPane (in Swing terms). It's usually positioned right next to the vertical scroll bar and it represents a view of the whole document much like the scroll bar itself. When parser/compiler finds problems with code in the document, it marks offending characters of the document and their line in the usual gutter (where line numbers are shown). But it also marks them in the quick problem highlighting line scroll-gutter. When these marks are clicked, you get thrown to the problematic line. Unlike the scroll bar, which maps line offsets to a graphical slider, the quick problem highlighting line scroll-gutter appears "static" and maps line offsets to...well, marks. The only user interaction it allows is clicking them marks.
Both Netbeans and Eclipse have what I tried to describe here. Netbeans uses it to highlight problems, bookmarks, breakpoints, changes with respect to the head revision of the document in a code versioning system, etc.
Does RSTA have anything like that? I browsed through a few screenshots of RText, but couldn't find this functionality. It is an extremely handy tool when representing flat summaries of larger documents that do not fit inside editor's area or it's gutter.
Also, if you happen to know the name of that damned thing, I'd appreciate knowing it. Quick problem highlighting line scroll-gutter sounds a bit...outlandish?

But according to

fork_command_full(). Which needs eight mandatory arguments. Haven't they heard the "defaults" word? I've been able to construct lines that work somehow:
pty_flags = vte.PtyFlags(0)
terminal.fork_command_full(pty_flags, "/home/int", ("/bin/bash", ), "", 0, None, None)
Yes, I know about the enums, I just hope that I'm doing this completely wrong and there is a much easier way. Do you know any?

The Power of the Son-in-Law
Research Shows That Charming Your Wife's Parents Helps Make a Marriage Last
Here's a dangerous debate you may have found yourself engaged in after a weekend of turkey and togetherness: Whose parents—yours or your spouse's—are more difficult?
If you have prickly relations with your in-laws, whether you are a husband or a wife, new research offers some surprising insights into the risks and benefits of maintaining your distance from your spouse's parents.
One finding of a 26-year longitudinal study of married couples is that marriages in which the husband reports feeling close to his in-laws are more likely to last for the long haul. "These ties connect the husband to the wife," says Terri Orbuch, a psychologist and research professor at the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research. "They say, 'Your family relationships are important to me because you are important to me. I want to feel closer to them because it makes me feel closer to you.'"
Live Chat Recap
Elizabeth Bernstein spoke with readers on Nov. 27. Replay the event.
Dr. Orbuch, with funding from the National Institutes of Health, is studying 373 same-race couples who were between the ages of 25 and 37 and in their first year of marriage when the study began in 1986. Dr. Orbuch asked the newlyweds each to rate, on a scale of one to four, how close they felt to their in-laws. She has followed them over time to collect data, including whether they remained married. The results will be published in a coming issue of the journal Family Relations.
In couples where the husband initially reported being close to his wife's parents, the risk of divorce over the next 16 years was 20% lower than for the group overall. Yet when the wife reported being close to her in-laws, that seemed to have the opposite effect: The risk of divorce with these couples was 20% higher.
Dr. Orbuch has a possible explanation: The wife who feels close with her husband's parents may find it difficult to set boundaries and over time may come to see their close relationship with her as meddling. "Because relationships are so important to women, their identity as a wife and mother is central to their being," says Dr. Orbuch, author of the 2012 book "Finding Love Again: 6 Simple Steps to a New and Happy Relationship." "They interpret what their in-laws say and do as interference into their identity as a spouse and parent."
Men, for the most part, don't have this problem. Their identity as a father and a husband is often secondary to their identity as a provider, Dr. Orbuch says. As a result, they don't tend to take what their in-laws do so personally.
The research suggests two sets of advice for parents. For parents of a son, if you think you are close enough with your daughter-in-law to offer her advice on parenting or other important topics, think again. For parents of a daughter, make an effort to show your son-in-law that you consider him to be part of the family.
Darren Brandt will never forget the time several years ago when his father-in-law, Leon Yarusi—out of the blue and in front of both of their wives—hugged him and proclaimed: "If you and Joy ever split, we will still be friends and get together, and I will find a way to see you."
"I think my wife believed that if we ever got divorced—which we'd never even talked about—her father would just write me off," says Mr. Brandt, a 42-year-old partner in a public-relations firm who lives in Shrewsbury, N.J. "But no more than 20 seconds later, she was pleased that we were at a place where he would say something like that."
Joy Brandt, 41, recalls it made her feel "that he loved me, but really liked him."
Videos From the Archive
At first, father- and son-in-law seemed mismatched. Mr. Yarusi, who died earlier this month at age 75, was the son of Italian, Catholic immigrants, one of 12 children raised in a one-bathroom house in New Jersey. He became an Air Force pilot then a hairdresser, and he opened his own salon. He was good at building and fixing things and built his own shore house in Monmouth Beach, N.J.
Mr. Brandt, who is Jewish, grew up as one of two children in a well-to-do town in central New Jersey. He describes himself as a "company man," loath to take risks. "If I screw in a light bulb, I am high-fiving someone," he says.
When Darren and Joy decided to get married 17 years ago, they had dinner with her parents to discuss their plans. For almost three hours, Mr. Yarusi questioned them—about religion, finances, how they planned to raise their children. Mr. Brandt says he saw his future father-in-law as a "tough guy" and remained mostly silent. "I had a healthy respect for him," he says.
Over the years the two men became friends, hitting the gym, canoeing and took an airplane-gliding lesson together. Mr. Brandt asked his father-in law (and his mother-in-law) for advice, such as how to make up with his wife after an argument. "It's been a wonderful thing for my marriage, in that I could offload some stuff to my father-in-law," he says.
On Oct. 13, Mr. Yarusi fell at his home and fractured his skull. He lingered, first at a local hospital and then at New York University's Langone Medical Center. He was evacuated during Hurricane Sandy and died on Nov. 7.
Several nights later, Ms. Brandt found her husband reading her father's obituary. It was the first time she'd ever seen him cry. "Darren was always eager to please my dad and make him know that we valued him, and that meant the world to me," she says. "And it made me feel good to know that my father thought I'd picked a winner."
"I was lucky. It was like I had two dads," Mr. Brandt says.
Want to improve in-law relations in your family? Here are some tips from Dr. Orbuch.
If you are a parent of a daughter, be open to bonding with your son-in-law. You are probably from different generations and backgrounds, but you can still find common ground. It will make your daughter happy to see this man is a cherished member of her family. Be practical, though. A father- and son-in-law will rarely be as tightknit as a father and son.
Parents of a son, tread carefully. Your daughter-in-law is probably more sensitive to meddling than a son-in-law would be. She may perceive interference when none was intended. Or maybe you were intruding a bit.
If you are a wife, be aware of the need to maintain boundaries with your in-laws—especially when sharing details about your marriage, parenting decisions or personal issues. Reassure your in-laws that you want a close and loving relationship, but learn to say no. If conflict arises, ask your husband for help settling it.
If you are a husband, treat your in-laws as special and important. Remember that when you care for them, your wife feels you are caring for her.

There is a common practice in TDD to write a test before fix to avoid regression and simplify fixing. I just wonder what if the test and fix will be written by different people, total spent time will be almost the same but as now three people will think about possible failures (+tester) we increase probability that fix will cover all possible failure scenarios. Does this practice make sense or it will just waste additional time needed for one more person to familiarize with bug?

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
It is not necessary for the test and the code to be written by 2 distinct sets to achieve this.
TDD should be driven by ATDD (Acceptance tests) - the acceptance tests are written by customer/qa to ensure the solution is the right thing. To get them to pass, developers use TDD to develop the implementation. You could start off with a test-list on a piece of paper before getting to the keyboard (as Kent Beck suggests in his books). Also it is recommended to work in pairs, so that there is a higher chance of any slip-ups being detected earlier. If you want to involve a tester while coming up with the test-list that's fine too - however I believe developers should be thorough and able to identify all scenarios on their own.
All steps of TDD should be done by the same person/pair. Splitting up that work will increase need for communication / information loss. Writing tests is a non-trivial activity - the very act drives the design of your objects.
It sounds to me like you are describing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pair_programming#Ping_pong_pair_programming; a pair working on a feature alternates which member of the pair drives writing the test and implementing the code to make the test pass.
I've found it useful to make sure both members of the pair spend adequate time driving. It also helps reinforce knowledge sharing within the pair rather than allowing them to developer into a test specialist and an implementation specialist.
There is a belief out there that splitting up the developers and testers helps to create a better overall product, because the testers can help to "push" the developers by setting higher standards for them. Sometimes, developers will low-ball the quality of their test cases in order to keep themselves from having to fix edge-case bugs.
It probably comes down to how well your team works together. If they get along well, then the criticisms from the testers will likely be constructive. If the members do now work well together, the tension between the two groups will hinder the project. Testers might sabotage other members with ridiculous tests that make it appear that the developers are not meeting specifications (and the testers appear so brilliant for thinking of such a crazy test case).
TDD involves a very short feedback cycle between test and code, on the order of seconds or minutes. The only way this would be feasible for different people is through ping pong pairing, as mentioned. There may be a benefit to splitting testing work between dev and test in other paradigms but with TDD it is simply not feasible. Fortunately, it's also not necessary.
This type of testing (unit tests) should be done by the same person/pair who actually writes the code.
The test execution is often integrated with compilation - so it perfectly makes sense that whomever is coding/compiling does this type of tests as well.
This type of unit tests are sometimes called programmers tests which kind of highlight who is supposed to write/execute them.

Anyone into this one? I'm new to MMO's but family members who game insist on it. I'm just not able to get into it though. I don't seem to be triggering enough missions. I find myself wandering around for almost an hour, then I may see an exclamation point that triggers a mission. I think my villain character is at a dead end on level 7 and my hero should have missions but I can't seem to find them.
then I see people on level 30 and wonder how they got there. I realize PvP gives more experience than just PvE but really, level 30?
Any tips on how to "get into" this game?

I'm trying to evaluate different approaches to analyzing the benefit of changing the set of indexes that are available. If I pick some representative queries from my workload, I can run EXPLAIN and check if the plan of each changes when I add/drop an index. However, this may be too tedious if I have, say 100 queries. I was wondering what available alternatives (tools, scripts, etc.) exist and what are their pros/cons.

The best way to do this for a DB2 database running on Linux, UNIX or Windows is use the DB2 Design Advisor.
This tool (included with DB2) allows you to specify a workload (which could include hundreds of queries), and it will analyze the workload and the existing database to recommend indexes and/or other physical design changes to optimize the workload.
