It seems like a lot of people try to display tables in SO questions but don't do a very good job. Is there any markdown syntax that supports creating a proper table?
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
And with the new mobile theme, code blocks no longer require horizontal scrolling, but get line wrapping instead. That makes even small tables like the example above look bad, like:
Depends which markdown library stackoverflow is using but this works on Reddit, maybe they should share notes.
You can do this:
Header 1Header 2Header 3
And the obvious third:
OK, I'm only serious about the first one. Though if you check the code, you need some nifty
Elsewhere on Meta, I once learned about the nice Senseful Solutions Format Text as a Table tool. Of course:
Still, just in case it helps some, it supports different formats:
Manually creating Unicode box-drawing gives some more control and rounded corners:
Still quite ugly, I'd say, if only because of the gray background. And the Unicode characters render differently on different browsers/devices:

The short answer is that there is a kind of Markdown support for tables in Markdown Extra - I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet (according to CTRL-F search, at any rate), although we have had Github-flavoured Markdown mentioned.
This has been implemented for a long time, and the "syntax" is pretty well-known. One thinks it would be a simple and effective enhancement for SO/SE. As a bonus, a move to Markdown Extra would bring definition lists, too -- and even footnotes (hurrah!).1 ;)
1 SO might not need 'em, but SE most definitely does! In addition, see now the 58-times UV'ed (as of this writing) "Time to fork markdown?", which explicitly draws attention to footnote and table support.
Stack Overflow doesn't support MathJax, but stats.SE and math.SE (full list) do. With MathJax, you can use
Which translates to this:
(Sadly, it would seem meta.SO does not support MathJax either, but if this could be brought about, it would be possible to create tables on SO and meta.SO.)
If I am reading the Markdown syntax page (then search for "table") correctly, you use regular HTML table tags with an extra set of blank lines surrounding the
It's quite annoying. Especially, as bernd_k has pointed out, with database-related questions. The only solution we have right now is use our finest ASCII art skillz. To avoid the mobile layout mess-up, you don't have to necessarily extend the width of the table all the way to the right:
On SO often I see a number of questions tagged sql which present their test data by some tabular representation.
Often the first comments ask for datatypes of some columns.
For these cases I would prefer if OP just uses create table and insert statements.
That makes its easier to verify his problem or to try and verify the solution.
You can generate text tables at tablesgenerator like following formats.
You can give input as:
Here you can align column values to left, right, centre.

Markdown table
At least for GitHub Flavored Markdown there is support for tables. I was originally very discouraged after reading the answers on this question. I'm glad the HTML workarounds are available, but it definitely gets away from the source being human-readable. I then found the following description of support for tables in GitHub Flavored Markdown, which is also working for me when I create content using R Markdown
Here is a copy of the table example from that site, which I have also found works great for me in the GitHub or R Markdown use cases where I most use markdown:
Tables aren't part of the core Markdown spec, but they are part of GFM and Markdown Here supports them. They are an easy way of adding tables to your email -- a task that would otherwise require copy-pasting from another application.
Colons can be used to align columns.
The outer pipes (|) are optional, and you don't need to make the raw Markdown line up prettily. You can also use inline Markdown.

The outer pipes (|) are optional, and you don't need to make the raw Markdown line up prettily. You can also use inline Markdown.
CommonMark, a rigorously specified version of Markdown, does support inline HTML tables. Stack Exchange Valued Associates have indicated in the past that they intend to move to CommonMark eventually, and it does support inline HTML blocks that include HTML tables:
However, the main reason this wasn't allowed in the original markdown implementation used was due to the ease with which a user could break a page layout using inline HTML tables. Since Stack Exchange allows new users to post content to the page, it was believed to be too big a risk to give them that power.
It may be that they will implement CommonMark and still disable inline HTML tables for this reason or other reasons. Between moderation and some coding for common layout breaking tables uses, I hope they'll be able to enable them.
So there is a possibility that in the next year or so we will have access to proper HTML tables for Stack Exchange content.
An alternative is to put html tables tags inside an ꜱᴠɢ file, since ꜱᴠɢ files are xml based, it can contains xhtml. From there you can use the html tags.
It won't work in internet explorer and in Safari >9.
Feel free to use tables with tags like
Just noticing that when we reviewed these proposals a while back, this one never got updated even as the corresponding one on DBAs did.
tl;dr: Implementing this in a way that wouldn't allow authors to break some / all page layouts, whether inadvertently or maliciously, is not feasible.
I know. It sucks. But that's HTML tables for ya.

While not a table in the sense that data is in cells, to show data in columns, I use HTML

Example question:
You can create table by using Box Drawing Unicode.
This answer helps the new users about the required box-drawing Unicode uses with Unicode-Key.
For creating Table, the following Unicode are essential:
1. Two lines:
2. Four Corners:
3. For creating columns:
4. For creating rows:
5. For giving formate for cells/box at all sides (left+right+top+bottom) :
So, finally with the help of these Box Drawing Unicode, we can create table of unlimited rows and columns!
Note: In this answer, Thick Lines are used. For using another line-style visit Table or Official code charts.
Did you ever think about switching to Textile? Tables are easily written there:

Bobsled Is the Easiest Olympic Sport
We would never deign to call an Olympic sport "easy." Eating muffins is easy. Sports at least require some motion. But if you, the average non-Olympic athlete, really needed to make the Olympic team in a pinch, you would clearly choose bobsled as your "sport."

With hours remaining in 2012 it was the last rush to prepare for the big night. The parking lot was full outside Liquor Barn in Bowling Green.
Inside customers lined up, some with carts full of their favorite celebratory drinks. This year there seems to be a new rival to the traditional bubbly favorite.
"Obviously champaign, but a lot of spirits actually. Bourbon is a big hit so far this year since we have been open down in Bowling Green so we will probably see a mixture of it," says Robert Lanasa.
For those who would rather have their drinks served table side restaurants are preparing. Managers say New Year's Eve and Valentines Day are the busiest of the year.
"Lots of parties tonight, larger groups and obviously on Valentines Day are smaller more intament groups but we expect to be real busy," says General Manager Jodi Fleming.
Even with worries about the economy Fleming says when it comes to New Year's everyone is willing to celebrate.
"Everybody I think goes out when it's a special occasion. You will save up and not go out another night but go out when it's a special occasion," says Fleming.
The normal wine and dine still isn't for everyone. Some prefer to ring in the New Year with a bang. Skylite fireworks says plenty of families have stopped in ready to celebrate.
"We certainly pick up a lot of tourist traffic but people like to celebrate with fireworks at New Years believe it or not. Not quite to the extent we see on July 4 but we have a lot of kids and parents that want to come in. Kids that want to play with the sparklers," says Amy Burge.
No matter how you choose to celebrate business owners hope everyone enjoys a safe and Happy New Year.

Sorry, this product is no longer in stock.
Good for many things
Posted by Reviewer1200463 on May 13, 2010
This is such a great product, and since a little goes a long way, it is very economical. I mix a few drops in a spray bottle of water to clean the bathroom and kitchen counters to deter insects and germs. Also makes a great insect repellent for the skin, but take care around the face. I mix with 3 parts coconut oil for muscle pain. herpes, headache. Dab on a pimple or insect bite and they dry up rapidly. For internal use I use Now´s Oregano Oil softgels.
good, cheaper than competitors
Posted by Reviewer1529050 on Sep 09, 2012
i used it undeluted for external applications. It is stronger than diluted products, i bought it to try as it is cheaper than competitors and reordering now when run out of it. Carvacol is lower than others but for my purposes works better undeluted. Smell and burning very strong so be carefull and try on small places :)
Great Pain Reliever!
Posted by Reviewer2596873 on Jul 19, 2011
I dilute this myself with olive oil (50%). This is an affordable way to get oregano oil at the right concentration for skin application. Oregano Oil is a great pain reliever. When I get a headache or sore muscles I just rub in liberally where it hurts and it dulls or eradicates the pain. It contributes greatly to my quality of life!
Powerful Stuff
Posted by Reviewer1142273 on Mar 21, 2010
My husband has been taking an expensive brand of OOO for years. I decided to try Now OOO. It's more powerful and cost less.
Good pure Oregano oil
Posted by Reviewer2991207 on Jun 28, 2011
This oil is excellent value, smells right and goes a long way as it is undiluted. It is pure and very strong, dilute before use. Best one I have tried. Also very successfully treats fungal nail infections. Mary from Australia
Good deal on this item.
Posted by Reviewer2738875 on Dec 23, 2009
I have been using this Oregano Oil mixed with olive oil (about 1:3 dilution) for neuropathic leg pain from diabetes. It helps quite a bit. It smells pretty strong! Will purchase again when needed.
Medicine Oil
Posted by Reviewer1425826 on Dec 16, 2012
This is genuine, if you don't know how to use it, you shouldn't mess with it. For those who know the value of this, a valueable tool.
Yeast infection
Posted by Reviewer1436228 on Aug 12, 2011
Very strong. Be careful when applying to sensitive skin areas. Used to kill thrush on skin. Worked well. Also used internally to remove internal yeast infection. I think that it is helping.
Wow, too powerfull
Posted by Reviewer1788637 on Jul 19, 2011
Again, I have a Mycoplasma infection, and mix 20 drops of this Oregano oil with a full dropper of Olive Leaf extract, and some juice. This is powerfull stuff, its hard to find such pure unadultered essence oil. Most companies are trying to make a fast buck, but definately not this one.
Seems to have benefits of antibiotics without the side-effects.
Posted by Reviewer2418310 on Aug 08, 2011
I use this "straight" in capsules and drink with a cold beverage when I have sinus issues, yeast, and acne. Seems to work great, plus I have more energy after a few days use.

I use a Boss ME-70 multieffects unit and its red LEDs are uncomfortably bright. When I bend down to adjust a setting, it's like having a red laser shining in my eyes -- I can't even read the controls. I put black Pro-Touch labeler tape over the LEDs but that's a bit extreme. Anybody else bothered by the brightness and have a better solution?

This question came from our site for musicians, students, and enthusiasts.
You might try a few layers of clear and/or colored nail polish
Tape a gel over the top. You can get cheap packs on ebay.
This would even allow you to adjust the level of filtration by combining them.
There are two real options.
You can either modify the pedal electrically (replace the resistor that is connected to the LED for a larger value - thuis lowering the current through the LED).
Or you can modify the front of the pedal to decrease the light. A very easy way to do this is to tape a little bit of exposed film (like 35mm back when camera's used film), cut a little from the negative and slap it on with some tape, easily removable and should dim the light nicely.
I don't think tape is extreme, or a sharpie. But then I would probably just replace the LED's or pop a wee voltage drop in there to dim them down if they were that bad - this probably is extreme if you don't do home electronics much :-)
Tape is probably most sensible - as if you get a gig where you really need the lights you can always rip it off again.
You can buy some adhesives that will dim the led light for you.
For example, ThinkGeek has a set that will just dim the led and another set that will completly black-out it.
I've got this same problem on my audio interface on my Mac. I solve the problem by tilting it away from me a little bit. However, if you don't need to see the LEDs at all, I'd use some good ol' black electrical tape. It's easy to apply, and is removable. Then again, your labeler tape probably is as well.
Try putting tape on them in such a way that the tape is barely covering the LEDs, enough that the light peeks out over the edge, but also so that it shields most of the light. You can do the same thing with paint or nail polish, but it's more permanent.
The hardcore route for this is to open up the pedal and slap larger resistors on the cathodes for each LED but you'll void the warranty doing that :D. The nail polish idea (care of @todd), roughing the plastic with a little 400+ grit sandpaper, or clear tape (care of @Neil Fein) are all good options.
Or you could go with some cheap sunglasses.

How do I fix my kitchen ceiling? I have the ceiling covering peeling off. It has exposed cracks where water has possibly come through from the tiles above. So, how do I fix my kitchen ceiling?
From what I see in your pics, you have a plaster ceiling that is failed. Usually water is the culprit for delaminating the scratch from the finish coats.
You have two options to repair this.
Second option is to recoat the entire ceiling with a layer of 3/8" drywall. Although this may be a bit larger job, it will secure any loose, soon to fail plaster. The new drywall ceiling will be clean and smooth if taped properly and give many years of service. I have found that once a plaster ceiling starts to fail, it will usually continue to get worse.

Super Gamer Dude
Nintendo Wii
Hot Wheels has long been here since and has continued to be a source of extreme fun over the years for many kids, especially for those who are big on collecting stuff. A lot has changed, of course and the Hot Wheels that some of the kids still play with (or collect) these days are all high-tech, battery powered versions. Now, THQ has just provided another era for Hot Wheels – a surprisingly competent game despite its being created basically for young gamers. The Need for Speed series better watch the road; Hot Wheels is hot on their trail.
Hot Wheels is so much alike the Trackmania; players have to pick their own cars from a selection of 32 diverse vehicles in various track settings. The tracks consist of amazing gravity-defying loops coupled with treacherous hazards that spring at you out of nowhere; plus there are a number of extremely dicey corners. These all make the game such a thrilling fun. If and when you finish the tracks you can unlock treasures that may be useful for further pursuits in the game.
The most fun part for me, however, is the enormous heap of Hot Wheels pieces provided by the built-in track designer. I can just construct any fantastic circuit that comes to mind. That's right, mate, you can build your own fantasy tracks – any number of tracks, in fact – that you fancy. Here's where it gets quite challenging to the game's targeted market, which are obviously the younger gamers. The designer is simple enough, so the challenge is really in letting your creativity juice flow to come up with magnificent results (and it can churn out some really terrific ones, mind you) – with layouts that are as spine-tingling as you want to make them; heck, you can have it as precipitous as you like, defying gravity to the max!
Another nice touch is how kids can customize their own vehicle, which gives them a sense of creating something uniquely their own that they can flaunt and show off to friends and opponents later. Not just show, actually. The game has thoughtfully thrown in a split screen action that allows kids to create a track where they can later challenge their mates to a race – imagine…your self-created car and track against that of the other kids' on a head to head competition! The only limitation here is that, unlike in Trackmania, you can't tweak individual settings to its full extent.
The graphics of the game is definitely just suitable for the Wii platform, so don't expect too much in terms of realism; no real light or shades or super accurate depictions of the cars. You just have to rely on your own Hot Wheels knowledge to identify some of the cars, which most of the time, you really can recognize in spite of the inaccuracies. They have included quite a range of the classic ones like the dragster type machines that I recognized as among those I so yearned when I was kid. Unbelievable!
The races are so competitive there's only one way to win it – surpass your opponents in every way possible. The concept of a Super Mario Kart style tilt controls are used to power up your speed. You can also use the bonuses to propel you at super high speed. Unfortunately, it's very tempting for players to likewise engage in dirty tactics to nudge a competition off the game; that's how extremely competitive it is.
Thank goodness to the well designed graphics and concept, the game provides a different ambiance to the world of Hot Wheels. The game has honest-to-goodness values that make it one superb release.

Victim advocates from around the state gathered this week to learn more about helping crime victims.
Those topics varied from helping traumatized children to fighting gang and sexual violence to Officer safety.
The conference wrapped up with Attorney General Stephen Six honoring individuals who work to better the community and help crime victims.
Award recipient and Wichita Police Officer Dwain Diehl says, " one of the programs started in Wichita and Topeka is Project Butterfly which allows victim advocates and police officers to get prostitutes out of that lifestyle. As a law enforcement officer I work in bad areas and want to be proactive, instead of them going back and forth into jail we provide them with resources."
Victim advocates for children also took part in the conference.
32 year veteran in the field of social work, Verlene Kunz says, "somebody has to be an advocate for children who can't speak for themselves. Somebody has to do something and stay involved and try to help."
Ellen Micthell, the Saline County Attorney was also honored as well as the Kansas Coalition against Sexual and Domestic Violence.

Day 23 – 25 Days of Christmas BBQ Blogging..
ABT's, Puff Pastry Wrapped Brie with smoked garlic and walnut wine preserves, Cevapacici wrapped eggs
More prep today so there will be no finished products till everything goes on the BBQ's tomorrow afternoon.
The first item I started out with today are the ABT's (Atomic buffalo turds) which my FIL and husband both love dearly. I sure like them as well.
I love making ABTs They are fun little jalapeno packages of goodness. I rarely make the sme kind twice. These just get better and better.
I started out with 23 whole jalapenos that I split, cleaned the seeds out and washed. I use a tomato corer for this. Its a great tool for this task.
Then I mixed up 2 packages of cream cheese, some applewood smoked cheddar that I received in my Traeger gift basket this year, a bit of my own BBQ rub, spring onions and some minced garlic – thats about it.
Piped the mixture into the jalapenos. (* if your mixture is too stiff to pipe put the piping bag in microwave for 30 seconds) added a small slice of kolbasa to the tops of each.
Wrapped each with bacon. They are ready for the grill tomorrow.
The next item I worked on is a puff pastry wrapped brie. This is where store bought items really come in handy.
I had received a wonderful package from my sister in Smoke Angie Quaale owner of Well Seasoned a gorgeous gourmet food store in Langley BC. Angie sees some of the best food items there are and she sent me some of her favorites from this year. In amongst these food gems was a lovely jar of turkish fig and walnut wine preserves. Now I love figs and brie so this is a natural fit for me. In addition I had smoked some garlic the other day. I really don't have the time to make my own puff pastry so PC brand works for me.
The rest is just a matter of assembly. This is not hard at all and best of all it can all be done the day ahead before it hits the grill.
Roll out the puff pastry
I scraped the top of the brie with a steak knife. I then spooned on some of the delicious fig and walnut wine preserves.
Pile on the individual cloves of smoked garlic
Wrapped all up in the puff pastry. I also gave it an egg wash so it will be shiny coming out of the grill or oven. Lastly I sprinkled on some smoked salt.
Off into the fridge it goes till tomorrow.
The last item I prepped today was something I haven't tried before with this type of sausage.
Usully we have cevapcici with a roasted red pepper dip (Ajvar) for Christmas eve and as a snack on Christmas day. I fell in love with these shortly after marrying my husband who is Macedonian. These are a staple in his parents house- caseless sausages made of pork and beef. Unfortunately I forgot to pick up another case from D&S Meats in ajax Ontario. I did not have enough time to make my own.
So what to do?? I only had a few left in freezer. 24 to be exact. Not nearly enough for both Christmas and Christmas eve. I love scotch eggs and I hope this turns out to be a fantastic BBQ'ed version of them.
I started with 8 boiled eggs and made a patty out of the sausage. I did this all on plastic wrap to make it easier to assemble.
Then for color and flavour contrast I laid down pieces of roasted red peppers and some spring onions.
Next up you just have to add cheese. I picked an aged cheddar that was in the fridge. ( I would have used just about any type of hard cheese.)
Then here is where the plastic wrap comes in handy. I used it to help lift up the sides and then formed it into a ball.
I just repeated that over and over till all 8 were covered then sprinkled some House of Q BBQ rub on them.
I hope they work out well so I can slice them into wedges. Ill post the pics tomorrow. I am off to my favorite place to shop-my butchers Hovey's Gourmet Meats to pick up my turkeys and some other tidbits of yummy goodness.

Agricultural Research Service
1a.Objectives (from AD-416):
The objective of this cooperative research project is to develop technologies associated with grass endophytes and evaluate plant germplasm for use in irrigated and non-irrigated pastures.
1b.Approach (from AD-416):
Collaborative experiments will be designed and implemented either in the laboratory or the open-field depending upon the objective. Laboratory experiments will be conducted jointly in Logan, Utah, and Christchurch, New Zealand, where endophytes are involved. Where experiments involve the construction of molecular markers for endophyte identification, work will be performed in Logan, Utah. Germplasm evaluation of Cropmark grass accessions (cultivars and lines) will be conducted in the Great Basin region of Utah in appropriate growing areas. This research will attempt to: .1)Develop methodologies associated with the identification and mutagenesis of endophytes and their inoculation into grass plants;.2)Construct markers which will identify specific endophytes; and.3)Evaluate agronomic performance of endophyte and non-endophyte containing Cropmark grass germplasm along with appropriate + or - endophyte containing control germplasm.

|Vintage boyfriend jeans, Alexander Wang Colette Sandals
These Wang Colettes are a godsend for a tall, fussy minimalist such as myself. With a perfect 4" heel, ultra-soft
suede construction and velcro ankle straps, they are just about everything I have ever wanted in a basic black heel.
Worn here with a pair of vintage boyfriend jeans I scored off eBay for all of ten dollars and fifty cents. Planning to
seriously beat these up with some bleach and a razor blade or two to hopefully make something like this. We
shall see how that goes.

I am about to buy an Opteka 6.5mm lens. (If you want to know why, check out my previous thread: http://www.nodalninja.com/forum/show...n-EF-s-10-22mm). I was recently looking into the lens when I found the following sentence at photozone.de:(http://www.photozone.de/canon-eos/526-samyang8f35eos).Samyang Optics (Korea) is offering SLR lenses for many years but recently they've gained some higher visibility & popularity due to some quite exiting new products like the recently reviewed Samyang 85mm f/1.4 and the Samyang 8mm f/3.5 CS Fisheye which we'll cover in this test report. Samyang lenses are also marketed by several other companies like Vivitar (7mm f/3.5), Bower (8mm f/3.5), Opteka (6.5mm f/3.5), Walimex (8mm f/3.5) and probably a couple more.
So does this mean that the Opteka 6.5mm is the exact same as the Samyang 8mm? This is baffling me.

By default if a user has not created say a footer or a top level menu then WordPress, in the case of the footer, will use default content like pages and so on to "create" a menu.
I don't want this to happen. I want to do something like:
if user has not set a menu for footer
display a message telling them they should.
display said menu.
How would I do this?

To the editor:
I write as a Steubenville native who graduated from Catholic Central High School in 1967.
My purpose in writing is to apply one of the most important lessons that growing up there taught me. I do so in the hope of returning the favor by helping your readers apply the lessons I learned from them to deciding whether to vote for Barack Obama or Mitt Romney for president.
Back then, I learned the wisdom of the saying, "He may not always be right, but he is always boss." Mr. Romney's behavior during the first debate reminded me of a person who has grown accustomed to being deferred to, like a B-I-G Boss, say... like a guy who has been a CEO for way too long. My point is CEO's don't need to listen, presidents do.
Romney makes me uncomfortable. That's why I encourage your readers to vote for Obama for president.

I have a storage space full of information assets. The room itself is sound; there are no windows, the walls go all the ceiling, and there is only a single entrance with two good stout doors and high precision locks. At the risk of sounding purposefully cagey, assume a 7+-pin master key system with anti-pick features.
My biggest concern is the mullion, the bolted in steel vertical as illustrated in this picture, separating the doors. I feel that it is better than he doors latching to each other, however it also seems like a weakness. Does the mullion present an undue risk? If so, is there a commonly accepted mitigation path?

Recently I've seen LaTeX sources and convinced those are very complicated and difficult for understanding. So my question is: Is that possible to convert LaTeX kernel sources to some widely used language like C++ or Java sources?
Sure, it is possible. But nobody finished the project by now ... Except the nts-System, written in Java, but without using the possibilities of Java. One of the last projects is ExTeX, written also in Java and also not finished ...
The real Problem is not to write it in C++ or whatelse, the problem is to finish it ... ;-)
No. Tex has too crazy a semantics for that. In any case, converting sources in this way rarely increases comprehensibility.

When testing my app on the simulator, I like the ability to edit, or even trash the apps plist file (which contains the NSUserDefaults) from the iPhone Simulator folder. This proves useful when testing (e.g. your app stores a dictionary in there, but you change the model/keys that you use for this data, and therefore need to remove the dictionary stored).
Is it possible to access this file on device (for your own app), without jailbreak?
Thanks in advance

In Brief: On average, it takes approximately five months for LIS graduates to find a library job, according to Library Journal's 2012 Placements and Salaries Survey (Matta 2012). This time frame represents the experience of 34% of 2011 graduates, but stories of months- or year-long job searches are common (Weak 2012). While some can afford to wait or get by with part-time work, others cannot, so they begin to look outside the LIS field for opportunities. This article identifies effective strategies for maintaining connections to the library world while employed in a seemingly unrelated field and draws on interviews, research, and the author's personal experience to illuminate these strategies.
A Familiar Story
I began my job search in earnest approximately three months before I graduated from library school. Realizing that the job market would be competitive, I applied to both professional and paraprofessional positions, but to no avail. I graduated and moved back to my hometown, taking advantage of my parents' offer of free housing, but eager to begin the professional career that I had been confident would start shortly after graduation. I was lucky that one of my rejections came with an offer for a part-time, paraprofessional job staffing the reference desk of a mid-sized university library. Thankful for the experience I would gain, I eagerly accepted the job and found that the position reignited my passion for reference. I was excited to have discovered my niche: I was a reference librarian.
However, even as I steered my full-time job search towards reference and instruction jobs, I grew increasingly discouraged. I knew that I couldn't support myself only working part-time, so I began applying to non-LIS positions. It took two months of persistence, but I was able to land a communications job at a nearby university. Since my undergraduate degree was in print journalism, it was related to my interests. However, I didn't go to library school because I wanted to continue working as a freelance writer and editor! I went to library school because instead of telling people's stories as a journalist, I wanted to empower them to find the information that they could use to tell their own stories.
I accepted people's congratulations about my new position while fighting back the nagging feeling that I was a fraud. I felt like I was giving up on my dream, even though accepting this job didn't mean I would stop looking for a librarian position. As a person fortunate enough to have both a supportive family and a part-time library job, I still felt that I should be taking advantage of that support to gain more direct LIS experience, even if it meant more personal struggles. Something had to come through eventually, right? In the end though, my impending student loan payments, lack of healthcare, and desire for stability won out over the waiting game.
Does my story sound familiar? Many new librarians get caught in the catch-22 of needing experience to get a job, but unable to gain that experience for some reason or another. Perhaps part-time LIS work wasn't fiscally possible, so you couldn't build your resume sufficiently to get an interview for a full-time position. Maybe you couldn't wait six to nine months to hear back from your dream academic library, or discovered that the public libraries in your area hadn't hired new employees in years. For whatever reason, you just couldn't get a job in a library. You're not alone: Library Journal's 2012 Placements and Salaries Survey reports that 18.3% of job placements in 2011 were outside LIS in the private industry, nonprofits, and the fields of law, retail, and finance (Matta 2012). The good news for those of us stuck in LIS "unemployment" is that even if you take a job outside of the field, you can still find your way back. Your MLS degree can be put to use in a variety of research, customer service, and marketing positions, and all of those fields can provide you with skills that will prepare you for future library work. This article is about how to make that happen.
Taking a Job Outside LIS
Imagine that after months of futile searching for a librarian position, and then any position at all, you finally get a job offer. As is the case with any hiring scenario, it's important to think carefully about how a job will benefit your resume before accepting it. It's tempting to take the first job offer you receive, especially if you've been rejected many times before, but you won't be helping your long-term professional goals if you take the a position that's the wrong fit. There are several factors to take into consideration beyond wages and benefits. Will the position allow you to refine your current skills or, better yet, grow in an area where you don't have much experience? If you're considering taking a job as a receptionist, it's likely that you won't just answer phones. You'll be the face and voice that people associate with the organization, giving you an opportunity to hone your customer service skills.
Jessica Olin, Director of the Robert H. Parker Library at Wesley College, recently wrote on her blog Letters to a Young Librarian about how her past experience as a waitress has made her a better librarian:
With a customer who had never been to my restaurant, but who was obviously there for a special occasion, I acted one way. With a family of regulars who had been coming to that restaurant longer than I'd been alive, I acted another… Similarly, with a first generation college student in his/her first semester of college, I act one way. With a graduate student who just needs help refining a search strategy, I act another.
On the surface, it may not seem like a non-LIS position has anything to offer the career you are trying to forge, but drawing connections is a matter of both perspective and practice. If you want to be a reference librarian but your current data entry position doesn't offer you much interaction with the public, think about how you're increasing your efficiency and furthering your attention to detail. While it can be challenging to repackage your skills in cover letter, the effort won't go unrewarded. It may just take longer than you would like to see that reward.
Career-Relevant Activities
You don't have to be working in a library to do work that's related to librarianship. Making plans, goals, and timelines to build related skills will allow you to regain some control over your career direction. It might seem like more work to formulate plans for your current job while simultaneously continuing your LIS job hunt, but focusing on the beneficial aspects of your current position will enable you to get the most out of the experience—and help you translate that work to future positions.
Britta Barrett, a 2012 MLS graduate, had no plans on quitting her office administration job at Experience Music Project (EMP) in Seattle to focus on securing a library job, but she realized that she could add a project to her duties that would expand her skill set while helping her employer. The museum boasts a library, but as Barrett explains, "it has been over a decade since the museum has had full time MLS librarians on staff and there is no indication that will change in the future" (B. Barrett, personal communication, February 4, 2013). Still, she proposed a practicum for academic credit on top of her daily administrative duties, which included conducting a needs analysis, weeding, physically moving materials to a new location, creating a strategic plan, and training and supervising four new cataloging interns. While EMP has not hired her as a librarian, they were so impressed by her work that they've officially added librarian duties to her current position and compensated her for the increased workload.
Whether or not your employer rewards your hard work and initiative monetarily, this sort of approach to non-library work offers a variety of opportunities. Finding ways to bring your career into your day job can benefit your job search: Alan M. Saks and Jelena Zikic (2009) write that "career-relevant activities were positively related to job search self-efficacy and job search clarity. Job seekers who spent more time in both environmental and self career exploration…reported higher job search self-efficacy" (125). Of course, career-relevant activities may encompass a whole variety of things. Maybe it means reading LIS blogs on a daily basis or volunteering twice a month at a library. However you look at it, by committing to continuous professional development, you'll actually improve the way you feel about your job search.
Strategic Networking
Although you may feel a pressing need to seek out opportunities to meet people who can help your job search, your focused professional development strategy should translate to any networking you may want to do as well. Networking is a way to get something you want, but it has to be a journey in and of itself. If I go to an event for the sheer purpose of chance networking rather than because I'm interested in the event itself, I walk away disappointed. For me, it makes the most sense to seek out events and opportunities that revolve around reference and instruction so that I can stay up-to-date on what local university and college libraries are doing to engage users. If I can meet someone who's doing that work at an event, great! If not, I'm still learning about an area of librarianship that's exciting to me and that I want to continue learning about.
Instead of assuming that each person you meet could be your ticket to a great library job, a better approach is to attend events and talk with people you find interesting. Ultimately, networking is about developing and fostering relationships, and if you try to build a relationship based on something you want, you're not likely to get very far. Emily Cable, a 2012 MLS graduate and full-time restaurant manager, observes:
[W]hile it is good to meet a lot people in the field, I have found it has been really helpful to form better acquaintances with a smaller number of librarians that you really like. I know a handful of librarians that I meet up with about once a month socially. There is a little bit of shop talk that happens, but it is primarily social. It is through this group that I set up both my practicum and my impending volunteer work/internship with Oregon Health and Sciences University Library" (E. Cable, personal communication, February 2, 2013).
To find your own groove, think about strategic networking. An article from the Harvard Business Review defines strategic networking as "figuring out future priorities and challenges [and] getting stakeholder support for them" (43). In that light, what are you doing when you're networking if not figuring out future priorities (your career) and getting stakeholder support for them (by gaining contacts in the library field)? Erica Findley, a 2008 MLS graduate and Digital Resources and Metadata Librarian at Pacific University, explains her experience working post-graduation as a temporary Workforce Management Coordinator for Netflix and volunteering at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU):
During the time I worked at Netflix, I was volunteering at the Oregon Health & Science University writing data for their digital collections. I did this for about 2-4 hours per week (on weeknights) until July 2010. I began the internship through a lot of serendipity (read: NETWORKING). I was working as an intern on another project at OHSU for someone that interviewed me for another library position; I think in early 2007. I kept in touch with the person and became involved in their project when they moved to OHSU. I started my volunteering in digital collections by hearing about the need for help through word of mouth.
Findley continued volunteering while working a temporary, non-MLS staff position at Pacific University, which kept being extended. Eventually, a new MLS position was created, and Findley stepped into that role in July 2010 with digital collections experience under her belt (E. Findley, personal communication, February 13, 2013). This story reminds me that networking is not a numbers game. It's about finding people who you click with and keeping up with them and their work. While I was attending presentations and conferences during library school, I would tell myself that I had to speak with a specific number of people before I left. I meant for this to be an antidote to my shyness, but it turned networking into a competition rather than an engaging experience. I've since scrapped that idea, and feel much more at ease with my professional social network.
Fitting It All In
Continuous professional development? Taking on additional projects without compensation? Networking? Who has time for all that? When you're employed, it can be difficult to carve out time to ruminate on goals and tackle extracurricular activities. But if you don't know what you want, you certainly won't be able to take the steps to get it. Also, it'll be good practice for your future career. Many librarians exceed their forty hours a week with professional development and volunteer projects even when they are employed in a library.
First things first, though. What kind of time are you willing to dedicate to professional development? Evenings? Weekends? A couple of days a month? Depending on the demands of your current job and your personal life, the answer will vary. Your time commitment will likely dictate the kind of activities you can engage in. If weekends are out of the question, then conferences may not be the best opportunities for you. If you're willing to dedicate some evenings to pursuing your passion, you may be able to teach a computer class at your local public library. Remember: becoming a librarian or information specialist is your dream career. The extra work is worth it.
Of course, as many of you know, even volunteer opportunities in libraries can be difficult to come by. As in all things, flexibility is key. Try to look at your interests from all possible angles. You may want to be a children's librarian, but if your local libraries are fully staffed, why not take the elements of children's librarianship and try to find an organization that works with children and education? As Kat Tkacik (2012) explains in Library Journal,
If there's a waiting list for volunteers at the library, look for other organizations promoting literacy and education. And don't forget social services. Many shelters and soup kitchens include a computer or two—volunteer your expertise and help a neighbor navigate the job listings on Craigslist.
On the other hand, if your search is so successful that you find yourself flooded with volunteer opportunities and projects, remember that working yourself into the ground won't help you succeed. In case you need further advice on doling out the big N-O, check out Emily Ford's (2009) In the Library with the Lead Pipe article on the subject. Personally I find that if I take on more than a couple of projects outside of work at a time, I'm less than pleasant to my friends and family. Have I taken on more than I should have in the past? Of course. Am I proud of that? Not anymore. To take on projects beyond my capacity does not help my career, nor does it help the organization I'm volunteering with. Working hard also means knowing your limits, and not worrying that those limits will keep you from getting a job you love.
Continuing Your Search While Maintaining Your Sanity
Google "job seeking while employed" and you'll find plenty of blog posts and news stories about the importance of not searching while on the clock or on a work computer. You may think you work in an easygoing environment, but no supervisor will condone job hunting while they are paying you. In addition to limiting your job search to your lunch hour, evenings, and weekends, make sure you keep your hunt manageable. Nothing says "I'm living a balanced life" like working and then rushing home to check thirty job boards while eating a Lean Cuisine. While I have found interesting jobs via a one-off search on Indeed.com (Warning: searching "library" yields loads of nanny postings from parents that are desperate for you to take their children to the library), you will have more luck focusing on curated sources like I Need a Library Job, ALA JobList, or state library association job boards.
You are in a stage of life that requires some relaxation time, too, so find a way to carve out time for yourself. Maybe that means you don't look for jobs on the weekends, or that Tuesday nights are your crafting/cooking/doing absolutely nothing nights. Thea Evenstad, a 2012 MLS graduate and program assistant at a children's science museum, explains:
Graduate school and the job search have made my life feel lopsided. I think self-care is an important part of the job search and that it's too easy to feel down with the dramatic highs and lows of the cycle of job applications, interviews, and rejections. I don't feel guilty enjoying a weekend at the beach with my partner, knowing that I might move to another state soon for a librarian position (T. Evenstad, personal communication, February 11, 2013).
The calm you gain from that time off will assuage any anxiety you may feel about not looking for a new job or professionally developing yourself during that period of time. Leslie A. Perlow and Jessica L. Porter conducted a study in which they found that by challenging the idea that a person must always be available and ready to work, people were more likely to take time off, and their work improved as a result (104). Since you're working and trying to find another job, be sure to relax and build in breaks for yourself. You've earned them!
I'm several months into my communications position, and I've developed web design, project management, and interpersonal skills that I know will help me when I'm on a future committee that's redesigning a library website, implementing tools to better track reference interactions, or fostering relationships with faculty members. I spend about thirty minutes several evenings a week checking three LIS job boards and perusing the employment pages of a couple of local university libraries. I continue to apply for positions, but am pickier than when I was unemployed, and I've had several phone interviews in the past month. I believe that's because I'm only writing cover letters for positions I'm truly passionate about.
In addition to my job search, I've managed to create a small but mighty professional network, which includes a librarian that I'm working with to help develop the children's literature collection at his institution. I've never participated in collection development before, and I love every aspect of it, from physically surveying the current collection to figure out what gaps exist to identifying the best children's awards to draw materials from. I'm thrilled that I've been invited to help draft the collection development policy for this particular collection, and feel that the professional writing I do in my current position will serve this project well.
If, like me, you're working outside the field, remind yourself that LIS skills aren't solely developed and utilized within a library. Your day job — whether you're working in retail, acting as an office administrator, or waiting tables — is providing you not only with a paycheck but with professional qualities that a library will be lucky to have. It might feel overwhelming at times to work while trying to find another job and pursuing professional development opportunities, but that dedication will benefit you throughout your entire career, not just your job search process. It'll take time and it'll take a lot of patience, but if you persist, good things will happen. At least that's what Conan O'Brien and I believe (Glamourbombtv 2010).
If you ever feel like you're the only one balancing your future career with your day job, know that you're not, and reach out! Whether on Twitter, in these comments, or with your former classmates, you'll be surprised how many people will respond with "I'm going through the same thing, let's talk" or "Yup, that was me last year, and this is what I did." If you've been or are currently in a similar situation, I'd love to hear your strategies for making the most out of your current or past jobs and how you balance job searching with employment. Please share them in the comments below.

September 23, 2010
New York University has created an Animal Studies Initiative to support research and curriculum development in the emerging field of animal studies. The Animal Studies Initiative will be housed in NYU's Environmental Studies Program and directed by Dale Jamieson, professor of environmental studies and philosophy and affiliate professor of law at NYU's School of Law.
The Initiative has received a $1 million gift from Bradley L. Goldberg, former Executive Vice President at Jennison Associates LLC, a subsidiary of Prudential Financial. Goldberg is a graduate of NYU's Stern School of Business and currently dedicated to philanthropy for animal-related causes. This commitment will support a number of core activities within the Initiative, including NYU's newly established Animal Studies minor and related scholarship at the University.
"The interdisciplinary field of Animal Studies has developed rapidly over the past two decades, opening up new areas of research both within and between many existing academic fields," said Jamieson. "Animal Studies addresses questions about the uniqueness of human beings with respect to other animals, the moral status of animals and their cultural meanings, and the roles they play in our imagination and arts."
Animal Studies explores the complex and multi-faceted relationship between animals and humans. The Boston Globe recently observed that the field "is broad enough to include doctors researching why visits by dogs seem to make people in hospitals healthier, art historians looking at medieval depictions of wildlife, and anthropologists…exploring the evolution and variation of animal domestication."
The Animal Studies minor draws upon NYU's faculty base in Environmental Studies, Sociology, English, Drama, Anthropology, and other schools, departments and programs. The minor offers opportunities to advance understanding of the current treatment of animals and the roles of animals in society, arts, media, culture, communication, ethics, food, literature, law and public policy.
"I am delighted to see this significant indication of NYU's commitment to the area of human-animal studies, and hope that this effort will play a meaningful role in improving the understanding and treatment of animals in our society," said Goldberg. "I am particularly excited by the newly established minor in Animal Studies at such a distinguished institution.

Building Regulations Made Simple
Your Choice of Application Route
There are two choices of application available to you. You can choose either a Full Plans or Building Notice Application. To help you decide on the best route to take we have included the following information.
Please note that the Building Notice Route is not applicable in all circumstances, if in doubt please ring Building Consultancy Direct on 0121 675 7006 for advice.
Please note, if your proposed work is situated over or close to a public sewer (shown on the public sewer map) a Building Notice will not be acceptable, a Full Plans application will therefore be necessary. Please check whether your proposal will effect a public sewer by contacting either Severn Trent Water Ltd on 0121 452 3306 or Joy Davies, Building Consultancy on 0121 675 7006 prior to submitting your Building Notice application.
This is the alternative to submitting a Full Plans Application.
The fundamental difference between the two methods is that this route does not require the submission of detailed plans.
You are only required to submit a Building Notice Application form and a scaled site location plan.
For a more detailed explanation of submitting an application, please visit our Building Notice section
The principal advantages of using this method is that once your plans have been approved you will receive an Approval Notice. Your builder can then work to those drawings without fear of contravening the regulations during the building process.
You will also receive a Completion Certificate when work has been completed on-site.
For a more detailed explanation of submitting an application, please visit our Full Plans section
Points to Remember
Whatever option you choose, once the building work is underway, a Building Control Officer will visit at various stages to check that building regulations are being met. When the works have been completed satisfactorily, we will issue a Completion Certificate.
Once we have received your Building Regulations application, you normally have three years to start work. After that time you will need to re-apply.
Don't forget! You may also need Planning Permission and will need to make a separate application for this.

Calumet has commissioned Ventech Engineers, specialists in modular petroleum processing plants, to design and deliver the GTL plant utilizing an autothermal reformer (ATR) from Haldor Topsoe and Fischer-Tropsch technology from Velocys. Production is expected to begin in the second half of 2014.
Calumet Specialty Products plans to expand its Karns City
specialty products facility in Pennsylvania to include a
nominal 1,000 bpd gas-to-liquids plant, the company said on
Calumet has commissioned Ventech Engineers, specialists in
modular petroleum processing plants, to design and deliver the
GTL plant utilizing an autothermal reformer (ATR) from Haldor
Topsoe and Fischer-Tropsch technology from Velocys.
Haldor Topsoes ATR is an established technology for reforming natural gas
into synthesis gas, a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
In the GTL plant, this synthesis gas will be routed through
the Velocys FT process for conversion into long chain
Velocys is a leading developer of microchannel process technology for synthetic fuels
The entire plant will be constructed as truckable modules at
Ventech's fabrication facility in Pasadena, Texas, and then
transported to Calumet's site in Karns City for rapid
installation and interconnection with the existing refining facility.
The plant design is expected to be completed by late 2012,
followed by site-specific engineering and a decision to
commence fabrication in the first half of 2013.
Production is currently expected to begin in the second half
of 2014.
Converting natural gas into ultra-high quality feedstock through GTL will reduce
our costs, increase security of supply and improve product
quality. We are excited to be considering this project for our Karns City facility
because it will help us further utilize our current specialty
product assets, said Calumet CEO Bill Grube.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Many recipes for potato salad state that one should place the salad in the refrigerator after preparing. Some recipes state that one hour is enough. Others ask for several hours. Some recipes even require it to be stored overnight before being served. Why do these recipes have this requirement?
Refrigerating accomplishes several things:
Food safety of Potato Salad: For potato salad, you have about 2 hours of safe eating in the 40-140F temperature range. Refrigerating is an easy way to extend this, by cooling below 40F. For hot salads, you can either reheat before serving, or keep it hotter than 140F by using a chafing dish and can of Sterno.
About Mayonnaise in Potato Salad: Commercial mayonnaise is too acidic to spoil easily, but when mixed in with potato salad it can be diluted enough to spoil. It is better to refrigerate than take the risk, right? If you use homemade mayonnaise, you run the risk of salmonella on top of this.
I love warm potato salad, especially with a salty porky dinner like oktoberfest sausages. If you are making it and serving it right away, it is not going to poison anyone - think of all those recipes for garlic mashed potatoes that basically involve stirring a mayo-based garlicy caesar salad dressing into mashed potatoes. After dinner if there is any left I put it in the fridge. (The next day, my teens are quite likely to microwave their portions - they prefer to eat it warm.)
Now if you're making it to take to a picnic, that's a different story. Get it cold right away and keep it cold while you're transporting it. But there's no need if it's for immediate consumption.
I'm with Kate on serving temperature, although Bob has a significant point about the flavors marrying. In truth, it's often just worth refrigerating the salad well in large gathering scenarios, as Kate mentioned, and if someone wants it warm, they can request that their portion be removed from refrigeration early or actively warmed. The serving temp is really a matter of personal opinion, as far as I can tell.
Disclaimer: completely subjective and in a hurry to get to a glass of bourbon.
I also find that refrigeration helps to thicken the dressing. I'm not a fan of runny potato salad.

5 Animals That Can Do Amazing Things ... With Their Penises
Some say that nothing speaks to the loving hand of a creative designer better than nature's cornucopia of intricate and elaborate penises, uniform only in their beauty.
Giggle if you want, but sex keeps the animal kingdom going and to meet this task, some creatures have evolved penises that are a cape and a mask away from fighting crime.
#5. The Elephant's Prehensile Fifth Leg
Look, you didn't need us to tell you that elephants probably have gigantic genitals. Though... if you didn't previously realize just how big, well, look at the picture. That's not a malformed leg back there he's standing on. That's totally his undoctored-by-Photoshop dong.
But to really grasp its magnificence, you need to see it in action. That's when you realize that they can, and do, use it for anything. Hell, wouldn't you?
Imagine this attached to your crotch.
Say an elephant is off balance, maybe the ground is uneven where's he picking out some fruit to eat, or something. No problem, they just lean on their dick. No, we're not just making a cheap joke here--read it from an expert.
Or, perhaps the dreaded tste fly is bothering our poor pachyderm pal in places his trunk just can't reach. He'll just swat them with his massive and impressively dexterous penis. An itch in one of those hard to reach places? Penis.
Enjoy this video that we... think is NSFW (it's elephant penis, maybe it depends on where you work?)
Uh, yeah, it kind of turns horrifying toward the end, with his dick twirling around like a tentacle, trying to find the sweet spot on his elephant lover. Elephants are so big they find it tricky to line up their genitals and thrust rhythmically so what'll happen is the Babar will mount Celeste and just stand there while his super-penis feels around.
Elephant sex is a lot like snaking a clogged drain.
The male doesn't have to shake his hips or anything, just hold on tight and await the glory while his motorized member explores the space.
By the way, some of you reading this have already said, "What about dolphins? Their prehensile penises are universally considered the greatest achievement as a species." Well, there have always been rumors about that but there appear to be no scholarly sources backing this claim up.
"For the last time! I don't know if dolphins have 'rockin' junk. Next question."
Still, for your enjoyment here's a video of a dolphin trying to pick up a toy ball with his boner. Or he may just be trying to hump it, hard to say.
But if you think either of them have the most talented penises in the animal kingdom, well...
#4. The Argonaut's Detachable Penis
How many times has this happened to you: You're busily going about your day, say, delivering pizzas, when some beautiful female customer demands you have sex with her via lots of fairly obvious innuendo.
"Did somebody order a large sausage?"
What do you do? You've not finished your important errands, but this poor girl needs your seed! Right now! You don't want to leave her hanging, do you? Well if you're an argonaut (a.k.a. a paper nautilus), there is no conflict at all. You simply detach your dick. It will go take care of its business while you take care of yours.
The argonaut's penis has its own tail, allowing it to swim to the female if the dude is so busy he can't even be bothered to go over and say hi.
In fact when the penis was first noticed by science it was thought to be as a parasitic worm. It was years before it was discovered that the flailing member was actually a brainless, sperm-filled guided missile.
"Hey, a pretty girl. Quick, fire your dick at her!"
Oh, to be a fly on the wall in that laboratory when they first made the discovery ("PENIS! IT'S A PENIS! DON'T TOUCH IT!"). Though it also casts new light on the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League, who we've now decided have the best mascot in sports.
Though we have some suggestions for a more imaginative logo.
#3. The Flatworm's Penis Sword
We made a big deal out of the many uses of an elephant penis earlier, but there's no question it has limits. For instance, we can't find any evidence of an elephant killing a dude with it (obviously if such a YouTube video existed, it would be the most-viewed clip in Internet history).
Thus the elephant finds its penis ranked well below that of the flatworm. If you're a flatworm, all you need to get through a day of sex, hunting and fighting is your amazing penis. What human can say that? OK, other than him.
We mean Sean Connery, not James Bond
Tucked away in the last place you'd think to look (his mouth) the flatworm keeps an amazing dagger-penis so hard and sharp it is used for hunting and self-defense. Again: The flatworm has a penis inside his mouth, which is so rock solid that he uses it kill things. What would be better than that?
Having two of them. Which he does (both in his mouth, naturally). Here is a video of two flatworms having a duel with their boners.
If you were asking yourself whether or not that was the "fighting" or "mating" part, it was both.
We have termed the act "battle-fuck."
The cockfights (GET IT?!) are what keep the species going. Since flatworms are hermaphrodites, when two of them happen to meet they'll get erections, open their mouths and start stabbing until someone is either pregnant or dead. It's strangely mesmerizing. Seriously, we could watch these videos all day.

El33t's Pre-W33kend Post: Jump Shovel Knight ChallengeWritten by: / / 3 Comments
The world has turned dark and dreary seemingly overnight here in Durban, but the weather hasn't been able to decide what exactly it wants to do with freezing cold and blazing hot temperatures over the last few days, so there's every chance we'll see bright sunshine smiles and wisps of white laughter echoed against a pure blue sky this weekend. Not likely, but it's a nice image.
Speaking. Of. The. Weekend. Good luck to all the Durbanites taking part in tomorrow's Jump City Challenge – we know a few fellows who are just about crazy enough to be putting themselves through the trial, so we hope they make it through alive…
Other members of El33tonline have plans of their own this weekend, though, and we've scribbled them all down below. What are we up to? What might you have on the go? Let's find out!
"I know exactly what I'll be doing this weekend… playing Shovel Knight! I've been waiting all week to play it, and with Valiant Hearts sounding like a bit of a let down I'll be passing on Ubisoft's game to go for a vacation with the Yacht Club in lands afar.
I'm not entirely sure what else is on the go, but there are people to catch up with, plans to make and… more games to play. I'm hoping for a productive weekend.
I hope you all have a relaxing time, everybody!"
"This has been one mammoth week of work for me working on the new 1000 core HPC at work and it won't be topped off by a relaxing gaming stint of any sort. I'm jetting down to Cape Town this weekend for a Winter School at UCT on parallel programming and then it's back to Durban the following week to go under the knife for an old rugby injury. Maybe then I'll be able to enjoy some R&R and gaming. For now, lots of work to be done and late nights and homework and dusting off the cobwebs from my coding memory bank.
I'm flying one hour after my wife and kids, so that will be interesting – first time my kids are flying and I'll be missing it – hopefully she is able to manage the kids on her own and when I reunite in Cape Town they'll be happy as a lark.
On a bright note, Team South Africa won the International Supercomputer Competition for the second year in a row a few days ago and it's really a cause for celebration! We pipped teams from M.I.T., China, UK, Germany, and a bunch of others – and to think it's a team formed less than a year ago from undergraduate students! Go Team South Africa, and go CHPC! We are the world champions in High Performance Computing again!"
– The South African team that won the world High Performance Computing challenge
"It's been a busy week so I'm looking forward to some R & R this weekend. Sunday we'll be having a family get together so it will be great to see everyone again. The Springboks are playing Scotland tomorrow evening so I'll definitely catch that game and see how the new additions to our squad perform.
I'm still busy playing Gyakuten Kenji 2 (like most Ace Attorney games it's super lengthy) and am slowly whittling away at Trine 2 Complete Edition so I can get to the new levels that weren't in the PS3 version I've already finished.
Have a great weekend everyone!"
"I am so happy it is w33kend time again. Been one very busy week with some ups and downs. Mostly ups.
Well tonight if my internet behaves I will be doing some Army of Two: The Devils Cartel co-op. Just recently bought the game for a super special. So really looking forward to playing it.
Then tomorrow morning is Jump City Challenge. Going to be epic fun and I am so looking forward to it. Then after that, I need to go buy some things for the building project I got going on at home. Then I will fill the rest of the day with some gaming.
Sunday will be a relaxed day with some family time and some gaming. Maybe some movie watching and then in the evening it is time for some Transformers at Imax. Really looking forward to that.
Have a safe w33kend and enjoy every thing you do this weekend. See you online maybe.
PS. 88 Days till we get the awesomeness in South Africa."
"The cold weather has once again reached its icy fingers towards Durban, so this weekend looks like an excellent opportunity to wrap up warm and enjoy some hot chocolate. You can't drink hot beverages without entertainment, so it will be time to crack open the draw and see what games and movies tickle my fancy for the next few days.
I predict a little more Mario Kart 8 (because it's just such awesome fun), possibly finishing re-watching The Pirates of the Caribbean movies (savvy!), and hopefully lots of relaxation after a stressful week.
Stay warm p33ps, and have an excellent weekend. Happy gaming."
What is everybody else busy with this weekend?

Somebody asked at my seder this year why Moshe is largely absent from the magid. I have heard that the reason is because we're supposed to focus on God, and also that Moshe was very humble and there might be a midrash about him asking not to be in it. But I can't source any of that. Are those the reasons? If not, what is? And either way, what's the source?

The sefer "HaSeder HaAruch" (vol. 2 chapter 129) brings several answers to this question:
(Note: This answer, or some form of it, is the classic one, that Moshe was so humble that he omitted his name. The Ohr.edu answer is just an interesting variation.)
Bar Ilan University's parsha site had a discussion on this several years ago. There, someone wrote that the Samaritans in particular considered Moshe a demi-god and only accepted the first five books of the Torah as authentic.
As part of Chazal's post-Churban attempts to establish and maintain a set of core beliefs, Moshe is only incidentally mentioned in the haggadah (because we tend to cite complete verses). Other than that, the focus is on haShem.
There is also substantial scholarly literature on the polemics inherent in the haggadah. For example, where Rabban Gamliel indicates that we are to explain the three symbols of Pesach very specifically, it has been proposed that he was remonstrating against another community that had a very different view as to the meaning of the paschal lamb and the matza (and so too, perhaps, marror).

I try to remember a movie I saw long time ago on TV. It must be at the beginning of the 90s, possibly the end of the 80s. The movie might be older though. It was something about a scientist researching and experimenting with ants. I think the ants got intelligent, but I'm not sure about this. If I recall it right, in the end the ants took over the world, or only the lab. Sorry, that's all a little bit cloudy. My memory is not the best about this, that's why I need your help to get the name of the movie.
There are a number of science fiction movies involving ants, and based on your memory, it might be a challenge to determine if it was truly a made-for-tv-movie...or just a very old movie that happened to be broadcast one night on the tube. Nevertheless, the closest matches to your description are:
You may already have your answer, but your description reminded me of the scene in The Simpsons episode Deep Space Homer when Homer accidentally smashes the ant farm on board the rocket and causes panic back on Earth.
So I checked The Simpsons Archive, which notes two films in its references section: Empire of the Ants and Hellstrom Chronicles. Perhaps one of those is the film you're trying to remember.
An 'ant'-themed movie from the 90's I remember when "killer-ant invasion" was in the news is Legion of Fire: Killer Ants! (1998). They aren't overly intelligent, but the characters are constantly surprised by their "tenacity", "determination", and "cleverness" (wax on the anthropomorphism).
Another title which might match what you are looking for is The Hive (2008). In this movie, intelligent ants take over an island and kill its inhabitants. An extermination squad is called in, only to discover that the ants are controlled by an extraterrestrial intelligence.
You all forgot THE NAKED JUNGLE based on Carl Stephenson's Lennigen Versus theAnts. And Joe Dante's masterful short MANT.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The neighborhood watch leader charged with killing Trayvon Martin is getting another chance to convince a judge to let him out on bond.
George Zimmerman is in jail awaiting trial on a second-degree murder charge for the fatal February shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman was released on $150,000 bond in April, but the judge revoked the bond after prosecutors presented evidence that Zimmerman and his wife had misled the court about how much money they had.
He has a second bond hearing Friday.
Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester could decide during a hearing to release Zimmerman on bond or keep him in jail until his trial.
