The 6 Most Insane Underdog Stories in the History of Battle
As much as we'd like to believe what Braveheart and Return of the Jedi have told us, real-world battles are rarely won by the ragtag team of underdogs. Tanks beat horses, guns beat spears.
Yet, as we've found again and again here at Cracked, often history turns out to be more awesome than fiction.
#6. The Battle of Morgarten
The Swiss are truly a slippery breed. With their endless supply of clocks, pocketknives and chocolates, they have managed to outlast just about every dictator/emperor/Hitler in history. What gives? What makes them too good for our friendship?
The rest of us non-Swiss have a long memory when it comes to Switzerland's neutrality.
In 1315, Duke Leopold I of Austria decided to put Europe's mutual hatred of the Swiss to good use by invading the country with a force of anywhere between 3,000 and 5,000 soldiers and cavalry. According to contemporary chronicler Johannes Vitoduranus, "The men of this army came together with one purpose, to utterly subdue and humiliate those peasants who were surrounded with mountains as with walls."
Because being a peasant wasn't humiliating enough.
Leopold's Austrian army was well-suited for battle, riding in with heavy mail and plate armor that could withstand all but the most piercing attacks. Along with heavily armored horses, the combined weight of these knights was expected to be enough to crush any pain in the ass innocent bystanders who got in their way ... which, of course, was exactly what they planned to do with them.
Their opponents were the Swiss.
The only thing the Swiss had going for them was the halberd, which was a bit of a mix between an ax, a spear and a meat hook that handled like all three weapons in one. You know ...
Like one of these.
But Austria was soon to learn exactly why nobody ever seems to want to fuck with the Swiss. On Nov. 15, 1315, Leopold's Uruk-hai army was greeted by a roadblock on a narrow point between Lake Aegeri and Morgarten, buttressed with a steep slope on one side and a swamp on the other. Before anyone figured out this might possibly be a trap, 1,500 Swiss confederates stationed in the cliffs above started hurling enough rocks, logs and Swiss army knives that the Austrians thought they were being assaulted by goddamned ewoks.
"Yub, yub!"
The Battle of Morgarten was not so much a battle as it was an absolute massacre. Whoever wasn't conked on the head with a boulder was forced off the road and into the swamp by Swiss footmen. For all the advances in armor plating during the Middle Ages, Leopold's army was undone by logs and rocks.
Also, by George Lucas running out of ideas.
#5. The Battle of Valcour Island
In October 1776, just after the Revolutionary War broke out, a British flotilla of 25 warships sailed down the Hudson River with enough firepower and powdered wigs to blow New England all the way back to Regular England. Our Founding Fathers watched in terror, since their own navy was, at this point, still in tree form.
Yeah? Come over here and say that.
Fortunately, the U.S. was blessed to have a headstrong general named Benedict Arnold, who, as we've pointed out before, was basically history's answer to Rambo. Yeah, he turned on his country, but only because he thought they were being pussies. When Arnold saw the Brits coming, he decided he would beat the Brits back if it meant strapping together a bunch of logs and paddling out there himself.
Benedict Arnold: George Washington's George Washington.
The British forces consisted of 25 armed ships, 700 sailors and almost 2,000 redcoats, Indians and Hessian mercenaries, all equipped with the best training the British Empire could provide. Arnold, on the other hand, was a general, not an admiral, and he walked into this battle with about as many warships and hours logged in naval combat as you have.
Benedict Arnold did exactly what the A-Team would do: build an ad hoc navy in the lake out of whatever fishing boats and drift wood he could find. If it could float, and could remain floating with a cannon strapped to it, it became part of the first American navy.
Despite the fact that Arnold gave the boats badass names like Royal Savage, they weren't fooling anyone at the Battle of Valcour Island. He lost almost every one of his vessels. However, the general had an ace up his sleeve: being the sly bastard that made him notorious.
Arnold slipped past the British gunboats one night following the initial bloodbath, and forced the British fleet on a wild goose-chase along the Hudson River Valley. When the Brits eventually caught up with him and started sinking his ships, they were surprised to see Arnold didn't appear to give a shit. They were probably even more surprised when he burned the last few himself with their flags still flying, dusted off his hands and declared victory.
Arnold had completely outfoxed the enemy; his bullshit navy had successfully stalled them long enough that it was now too late in the year for them to continue their invasion. They were forced to retreat back to Canada, blaming each other the whole way.
By the admission of Baron Riedesel, commander of the Hessian mercenaries in the battle, the American Revolution should have ended with their invasion of the Hudson River that year. Even historians acknowledge that the U.S. would have been utterly screwed by the invasion had it not been for Benedict Arnold's insane gambit.
#4. The Battle of Stirling Bridge
You've actually seen this battle, halfway through Braveheart. But contrary to whatever you think Mel Gibson taught you, William Wallace was not five-foot-nine, the Scots did not fight in kilts and the Battle of Stirling Bridge was actually fought on a bridge.
Mel had the bridge cut from the scene, claiming it was too "Jew-y."
The Battle of Stirling Bridge was fought on Sept. 11, 1297, we're guessing to the full knowledge of King Edward's equivalent to Dick Cheney. England expected Scotland to be such a pushover that they only bothered to outnumber them five to one -- 8,000 to 10,000 soldiers against 2,000 Scottish infantry, and 1,000 to 2,000 cavalry units against 300 Scotsmen on horses.
Please note that we said "Scotsmen on horses" as opposed to actual cavalry, since Scotland didn't have the expensive, quilted armor that made heavy cavalry the Sherman tanks of their time. All the worse for the Scots, they were up against English longbows, literally the most feared weapon in the world until the arrival of the goddamn repeating rifle 600 years later. All the Scots really had going into this battle was the that fact they were Scotsmen.
And that was enough.
Oh, and William Wallace, who by the way is described in the chronicle Scotichronicon as "a tall man with the body of a giant." Wallace knew there was no way his men could face the English cavalry on even terms, but his solution was as crazy as it was brilliant: They stood in a square formation, the best for minimizing the impact of the feared longbows, and forced the English into a choke point -- the narrow Stirling Bridge.
The bridge was only wide enough for two mounted units to cross at one time, so the Scots effectively forced the English into the tactic that bad guys always use against Batman -- line up and attack one or two at a time.
Nearly half the English army was butchered, including the English treasurer to Scotland, Hugh de Cressingham. He got off easily via decapitation in Braveheart, but in reality was supposedly flayed, and "in token of hatred," they "made thongs of his skin."
Yes, you read that correctly: He was made into thongs.
Some people don't play.

Wow! So good. Since I'm a single gal I kept the amounts of the recipe the same but substituted half a lb of ground turkey, perfect amount to bring lunch to work for a few days. I also added diced tomatoes and a can of gold & white corn. I used Herdez salsa verde, my grocery store didn't carry too many options, but this worked out well. Healthy, delicious and super easy!
Beef & Bean Chile Verde
From EatingWell: January/February 2008
Chile Verde, usually a slow-cooked stew of pork, jalapeños and tomatillos, becomes an easy weeknight meal with quick-cooking ground beef and store-bought green salsa. Make it a Meal: Serve with fresh cilantro, red onion and Monterey Jack. Add your favorite hot sauce.
97 Reviews for Beef & Bean Chile Verde
I liked this recipe! I added 2 cans of beans, because I only used 1/2 lb. ground meat. Tasted really good!
LOVED THIS!!!! Substituted ground turkey for the beef, little extra chili powder and cayenne...I am in cajun country and we like spice. We ate it on tortilla chips, would be great on flour or corn tortillas too!
Super easy recipe that has a great kick to it! Even using a salsa verde that was lower in Sodium than many of the others I found at the store, it was still a bit on the salty side for my personal tastes. I toned it down with some frozen corn and a chopped tomato. Tasted great. Next time I think I'll try adding some cooked elbow noodles. I may not be able to legitimately call it "chili" after that, but I think that'll better suit the needs of my more "delicate" palate. : )
Substituted soy "meat" crumbles for the ground beef, since I'm a vegetarian, and it was delish.
My husband LOVED it, which surprised me since he doesn't like verde sauce of any kind.
Definitely will make again.

What is the LXX and why is it so noteworthy that there is a Greek translation of the OT? Wouldn't it be better to directly reference manuscripts in the original languages?

Before 1947, a good case could be made that the Septuagint represented a more ancient tradition than the Masoretic versions of the Tanakh. Since the Septuagint was produced before 132 BCE (and probably in the 3rd century BCE) and the earliest known Masoretic manuscripts date to the 10th century CE, the Greek translation might have fossilized an early rendering of the Scriptures while the Hebrew continued to be copied and potentially altered. To further support the primacy of the Septuagint, the early Christian and Hellenistic Jewish texts, tended to use that translation rather go back to Hebrew sources.
An interesting counter-argument arises from the observation that during the 600 years from Jerome's translation into Latin (the Vulgate) to the earliest Masoretic manuscripts, the Hebrew seems to have been faithfully copied. That suggests that Jewish scribes were exceptionally careful to duplicate their scriptures.
After 1947, the evidence changed. According to Wikipedia:
A few caveats are in order:
What remains therefore is a window into the community of Alexandrian Jews that produced the translation. For those who are interested in the development of Jewish belief, that can be extremely useful. N. T. Wright's book, The Resurrection of the Son of God, shows that the LXX translators chose to interpret key texts from Daniel and Ezekiel about the resurrection as literal rather than metaphorical. He argues from this that belief in bodily resurrection was more common in Jesus' day than other scholars assert.
Excellent question!
The Septuagint (LXX) was the version of the Bible used by the authors of the New Testament. Therefore, the authors sometimes quote the Septuagint rather than the Masoretic (Hebrew) text.
One example:
The Masoretic Text of this quoted verse in Isaiah:
The difference is pretty striking.
Because of this, the translators of some versions of the Bible tend to use the Septuagint in the Old Testament.
The Septuagint text from that same verse:
Ultimately, the Septuagint is useful to help gain an understanding of why the authors of the New Testament used quotes that they used. It helps clarify understanding of how the Greek was used.
One of the most important aspects of the Septuagint is that it helps us understand how Greek was used by Jews in the 3rd century BC to talk about God and the Scriptures. This turns it into a valuable tool to look at the Greek of the NT and understand how to translate and examine it.
Here is an excerpt from a Christianity.SE answer that I provided to illustrate one use of the Septuagint in this manner:
The reason I most often use the LXX is to find the concept the NT authors were using. Yes, they wrote in Greek, but they were thinking Jewish thoughts. Many times, you can take the Greek words in the NT, find them in the LXX, and see what Hebrew words they translated.
For example, the word ecclesia is used in the NT in Matthew 16:18 and 18:17. Some argue that this means Matthew is written late because Jews in the time of Jesus would not use the concept of ecclesia. Patently false. If you check the LXX, you find the word ecclesia commonly translates qhl, which means "sacred assembly." And that means 2 things. 1) As the LXX was translated centuries before Christ, Jews were familiar with the concept of ecclesia and used it. 2) Matthew's use of ecclesia does not mean it is late.
IMO it is a mistake to consider the LXX too noteworthy. The NT authors quote from it under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, however that should not be taken to imply that the LXX translation as a whole is inspired.
Yes, except when dealing with the NT quotations in question. And translators are making a mistake if they use the LXX as an authoritative basis for translating the old testament even for those passages quoted in the NT
Of course none of this is to say the LXX is not useful as it may shed light on translation issues, as mentioned in other answers.

RAYLAND - It's been quite a couple of weeks for Greg Haberfield.
He and his wife, Angie, just welcomed a baby girl, Madison, into the world, and then on Monday night he was hired as the head boys' basketball coach at Buckeye Local High School during the board of education meeting.
"I am extremely excited for the opportunity to work with these young men," Haberfield said. "Buckeye Local is a great school that's supported well by the administration, the parents and public. This is just a great opportunity."
Haberfield takes over for Jay Morris, who stepped down last month, after three seasons on the job.
"Coach Morris really did a good job of turning the program around and we want to continue to build on what he's done," Haberfield said.
The 30-year old spent last season on Morris' staff as the reserve coach. It was his second coaching job. He was an assistant previously at Anson High School in Wadesboro, N.C., which is about an hour east of Charlotte, for three seasons.
"That was a big school and it's a different kind of athlete down there," Haberfield said. "I think we had six or so kids go Division I during the three years I was down there."
Haberfield headed to North Carolina shortly after finishing his degree in health and physical education from Muskingum University. He's since completed his master's degree in physical education from East Carolina University and is currently working toward his principal's certification from Salem University.
Haberfield comes to basketball coaching honestly. The 2001 Meadowbrook High School graduate is the grandson of the late legendary boys' basketball coach Earl Haberfield, who had stops at Wheeling Central, Meadowbrook, Wintersville, Crooksville and Amherst Steele just to name a few.
"If I can be half the coach my grandfather was, I think I'm in pretty good shape," Haberfield said. "I've always wanted to follow in his footsteps. I certainly wish he was still around to see it now that I have the chance. I've had a lot of coaches and officials ask me about him when they hear my name, so that's really cool."
Getting the job fairly early in the off-season, Haberfield will have an opportunity to be fully involved with the off-season workouts.
"We have to establish an identity for our team," Haberfield said. "We're going to take a close look at what we have coming back and build from there. I think we're going to try to run a little bit more and pressure more. We'll have to find crafty ways to score. I know we'll play hard and if we're able to do the little things, I think we should be okay in the Buckeye 8."
As for a coaching staff, Haberfield plans on retaining Joe Soos as his varsity assistant and also hopes to maintain his junior high staffs.
"We really started to take a turn for the better and made some positive things happen this past season," Haberfield said. "We've built some positive relationships and we want to continue those. We didn't want the kids to have to go through a drastic change. Sometimes being the head coach is just a title. It's about who's on the staff and how well it works together. So, it's great to be able to have Coach Soos still on the staff. He's a great coach and a great asset to the program."
Haberfield's wife is the former Angie Delbrugge, who is a 2001 Martins Ferry High School graduate.

The 8 Most WTF Ideas In the History of Transportation
Invent the next great innovation in transportation technology, and you'll be living in a house made of platinum. The problem, of course, is that your innovation has to actually, you know, work. And not be utterly ridiculous.
For many decades, inventors have completely failed both of those criteria.
#8. Three Wheeled Vehicles
The design of a tricycle seems to be pretty good at keeping toddlers from falling off, so one would assume that it's a fairly stable system. So why haven't we seen more three wheeled vehicles made for adults, who are capable of spending way more money on ridiculous things?
Well for starters, here is the world's top selling three-wheeled vehicle, the Reliant Robin.
We're not engineers over here, but we're going to go out on a limb and say that taking a corner with just one wheel to balance all the weight on the front of your car ups the likelihood of tipping over and rolling down the street from "possible" to "guaranteed." And we're thinking the odds get worse the faster you go. Basically you can only drive the Robin slowly and in a straight line, so it's best not to purchase one unless all of your errands are directly in front of you and are never an emergency.
Another noteworthy attempt is the Sinclair C5, which we have to give credit to for sticking more closely to the classic tricycle in design.
The Sinclair is best described by the Sinclair C5: The Site for Sinclair C5 Enthusiasts Worldwide, which states, "The Sinclair C5 was a commercial disaster." This is the first line on the group's website after the name of the website itself. We can't imagine why.
Well, there's the fact that your body is exposed and that your head winds up right around the area where the grill of an SUV would be, so if you forget to check your blind spot and merge into a Chevy Suburban your skull might be torn from your shoulders. But other than that...
Though we can't mock it too hard, because apparently this open-vehicle concept is the future. Just look at...
#7. Toyota Personal Mobility Concepts
Toyota has grown into the largest automobile manufacturer in the world, so clearly the only market segment left to conquer is that of the future space wheelchair. From top to bottom we give you the i-unit, the i-swing and the i-REAL.
"The i-unit: Looking like the future has never been this not worth it."
"The i-Swing: You could probably pick up a very specific type of chick in this."
"The i-REAL: You'll wish your back was broken."
The i-REAL was slated for sale this year. As these products demonstrate, Toyota is gallantly ignoring all of the handicap ramps, chair lifts, curb lips and parking spaces in the world to operate under the assumption that motorized chairs are both practical and ideal.
Unfortunately for Toyota, the i-REAL has virtually no selling points. It's, what, a more comfortable Segway? A slow motorcycle that won't impress women? One of the only vehicles ever made that offers zero frontal protection for the driver?
Even its own product page can't really state anything other than "it exists."
It does have an embedded social networking system, allowing you to communicate with other i-REALs in the vicinity, but unless you're trying to coordinate a bank robbery with a group of lazy strangers we can't envision this ever being useful. And its maximum speed is only 20 mph, so really having a cellphone in your car provides pretty much the same exact experience as owning an i-REAL, only the car is infinitely more useful.
It looks like the ejection seat from the car we actually want.
Really, the whole concept of odd-numbered wheels just seems to turn people off. Of course, the most ridiculous expression of this idea is...
#6. One-Wheeled Vehicles
Here's the Audi Snook, a state-of-the-art unicycle most likely invented by Dr. Wiley.
Oh yeah, that'll stand up to a mini-van.
That is a legitimate concept from Audi that's actually won an award, although so far none are in production. We're sure it has some kind of complex balancing system on board and that a bunch of children can't just come up and tip you over at a stop light. But even then, a collision between two Snooks would be hilarious.
Way cooler looking is the Unocycle.
Whitesnake is playing in his mind
Sadly, it has only one button and no throttle or brakes. In fact, it works just like a Segway, so although it looks like it can go fast, it maxes out at about 15 mph. And yes, you do look more ridiculous going slow when you're on a vehicle that looks like it was designed for death racing in the year 2050.
What isn't disappointing is the dynasphere, a giant hamster ball they tried to develop back in the 30s.
Understandably, this never took off -- the automobiles being manufactured at the same time were way more practical and functional and didn't require you to lean out the side like Ace Ventura to make a sharp turn, so the dynasphere lost out like Beta to VHS. Oh, what could have been.
Think of how much better this scene would have been in a dynasphere.
Not all old-school transportation ideas were this awesome, though. Just look at...
#5. Railplanes
What's so great about planes? Well, they can travel pretty much wherever they please and they're the fastest mode of civilian transportation available to humans as of 2010. But, they can be quite expensive to ride. What about trains? What's so good about trains? Well, they have to stick to a very specific path, and most aren't particularly fast, but they're comparatively cheap to travel on. So obviously, the only solution here is to merge the two.
Actually, the real-world model was slightly less whimsical but every bit as steampunk.
The railplane was, in essence, a monorail powered by propellers. See, back in the 1930s, a plane was the fastest vehicle around, and all of them had propellers. By that token, someone figured that if you put a propeller on a train, it would go faster, bravely ignoring the whole weight distribution thing involved with aeronautical engineering. The idea was to build rails above regular train tracks so the railplane could travel over top of the standard steam-powered locomotives.
The other problem was that the railplane didn't actually go faster at all, and in fact was pretty goddamn slow. Also, the steam generated by the trains running underneath it would make it shake around like a Yahtzee cup. This isn't even mentioning the safety hazard of having a large four-bladed propeller come roaring through a crowded platform. The project went bankrupt in 1937.
Nothing says "safe" like giant spinning propellers and packed crowds of commuters.

An Ancient Solution: Zeolites (Aka clinoptilolite) are unique, clay-like volcanic mineral compounds that form in places on Earth where volcanic rock and ash react with alkaline groundwater. For hundreds of years, zeolites have been used as traditional remedies by various cultures to support general well-being. Zeolites have a honeycomb, or cage-like, structure with a negative charge. When consumed, zeolites are able to attract positively charged toxins in our bodies into its 'cage'. These toxins are effectively trapped in the cage - they 'check in,' but they cannot 'check out' - and they can then be safely carried out of our body through the urine or bowels.
ZeoForce is a non-toxic, deeply detoxifying, alkalizing, earth clay dietary supplement that can be taken internally to help support ridding the body of toxins such as radiation, heavy metals, ammonia, and other harmful environmental chemicals. ZeoForce will naturally bond with toxins for safe and effective removal. Benefits increase with continued use.
ZeoForce is carefully micronized to a range of particle sizes for optimal detoxification in all areas of the body, in a way that maintains integrity of the zeolite cage structure. It is mined from a pure source, and then carefully washed, dried and laboratory tested to match standardized quality control specifications.

This is an excellent product at a very good price. Subject to some of the considerations mentioned below, it is well worth a try. Firstly, the iHerb response both in terms of customer contact and in the shipping and receiving of this product was A+. Way to go iHerb. Secondly, the response of customer service at Healthforce was also excellent. Their initial response was delayed by volume I suspect, but once they made contact, their assistance was invaluable. Using the phone is quicker. Way to go Healthforce. Thirdly, while this product has a number of uses internal and external, it is a detox product. It is listed as having several beneficial effects. Among these are that it removes not only heavy metals but chemical toxins as well. For those of you familiar with detox products, this last is a bonus. If you are familiar with detox products and you know your own body quite well, this is a worthwhile product to sample after you do independent research. There is a lot of literature that makes conflicting claims about the effects of and mode of operation of this product. The other thing worth investigating is the size of the particles in the product. It has to be reduced to its consumable size by artificial means. The size to which it is reduced varies from product to product. The size of the product will affect the mode by which the product operates in the body. So, research is important. Healthforce were very helpful in this regard. However, if you are not familiar with detox products, in addition to doing your own research, you might want to look up a qualified health practitioner who understands environmental medicine. I happen to live in a bit of a cultural backwater, so there are none of these here. Most mainstream medical people won't be familiar with detox, so it helps to have someone to help you who is. Bottom line with heavy metal detox is that before metals can be removed from your body, something has to dislodge them from wherever they are stored. They do not spend their lives in our bodies floating around in our blood. Although many products claim that once they bind the toxins, they do not release them, bodily experience suggests that not all toxins and metals that are dislodged during detox are removed from the body. Depending upon what is being moved around, and where it relocates itself, things can happen. Caution is always advised when doing detox. I had significant exposure to both chemical and heavy metal toxins when I was a kid. As an adult, I had a dentist who believed that her silver fillings in any size were vastly superior to my natural teeth. She was a perfectionist so she would remove the recent fillings and replace them as her impulses dictated, always removing more of that unneeded natural tooth when she did. I did not know that silver = mercury. As it happens, it also = tin. She didn't say and I didn't ask. Other dentists were horrified by her handiwork, including a few who thought that using mercury fillings was perfectly acceptable. I have been fortunate to find a really good dentist in Fullerton CA who removed the fillings as safely as possible. In addition to the fact that tin is a multi faceted toxin all on its own, since my childhood exposure to organotins, I am allergic to some of them. It would have been really nice to know that silver fillings contained tin and that bacteria in the mouth can methylise them, but, hey, I didn't ask! With recent findings about mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic etc., organotins are a kind of rage item because they are believed to be safe. They are used in all sorts of products. VOCs containing them seem to be a trigger, and then my immune system attacks the stores of tin in my body. Recently, I had a severe attack which has persisted for months. I had been looking for a detox agent that would remove tin. This isn't easy to do. Zeolite is advertised as binding to tin. I thought that I would try. Within 2 weeks of using zeolite, my multiple site reactions to the organotin subsided. Because my immune system is sensitive at the moment, subsequent re exposure triggered another attack. Again, after about 2 weeks, the attack subsided. Organotins are also attracted to nuclear receptors. They mess big time with the endocrine system, among other things. Since taking the zeolite, some of my endocrine dysfunction has improved too. This is a much appreciated side benefit. Only thing that might distress anyone is that occasionally there are larger pieces of zeolite in the powder. They aren't very big but when the size is supposed to be a few microns and you have a piece that might be half a millimeter, some folks might be concerned. A good thing is that the container is glass. Plastics are toxins and the food grade coatings used in some of them consist of polymerised organotin. I don't need any more of them, thanks. None of the other natural detox products that I have been taking for years and that I continue to take have had these beneficial effects. Yahoo! Thank you zeolite! Thank you Healthforce! Thank you iHerb! And thanks to the Creator who maketh everything, me and zeolite included! Remember, caution is always the best approach, so, if you aren't experienced doing detox, find a health care provider who is, but this is an excellent product at a very good price.
This product totally surprised me by it's effectiveness. I've been using it just a few days, and yet I can sense some major changes in my well being. My stomach and entire digestive system got balanced almost immediately after first portion. After two days I woke up first time for several years without needing to blow my nose first thing in the morning. I'm very excited to see further reactions.

I ordered the product and it was shipped astonishingly fast, for which I'm glad. There is sadly also a downside of the product. It was purchased for a cancer patient, for its great renown in detoxification. Unfortunately, the label is only partially pictured and the information concerning cancer patients is invisible. It states that the product contains lead and shouldn't be given to cancer patients.
changed formula doesn't work
Posted by Reviewer3100355 on Feb 02, 2016
I used to love this stuff. It worked really well, but they changed the formula and now it is not only grainy, it no longer produces the desired results... and they raised the price quite alot. I was willing to pay the $30 before even though it was alot because it was good stuff. I am so disappointed to no longer find this product useful. Edit: I have found that it is still useful in the bath. I believe I still derive benefit, though not the same as when I would drink it, from using product to take warm baths in. I believe it to be an especially good treatment for my scalp and hair. I duck my head under the water when bathing.
A good detox agent.
Posted by 5375339086477066371 on Dec 12, 2015
I use this sometimes to boost my detox. It does work and is lasting. Just one caution - it's VERY dusty, so open it carefully, maybe even outside the house if possible. You don't want to be breathing it.
Lead and aluminium content and warning not included
Posted by 5578561642755857650 on Oct 30, 2015
Naturalnews.com just wrote a warning about zeolite-products after tests: "Zeolites may add 270mg of LEAD to your body every year" As there is no mention or any information about this in the product, I will have to give one star.
Tasteless & Seems effective
Posted by 5076926588582877482 on Apr 20, 2015
So far so good. The formula has little taste and is tolerable. I have notice no ill effect but haven't used it long enough to notice any noticeable positive effect. I did have a "drawing" sensation after the first few times taking it which has now ceased. It wasn't uncomfortable at all.

I want to find the possible values for {$x_i$} for given that I know $y$, {$p_i$} and the sum of $x_i$. In other words, let:
$$x_1 \cdot p_1 + x_2 \cdot p_2 + \cdots + x_n \cdot p_n = y$$
$$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i = k$$
$$11 x_1 + 22 x_2 + 44 x_3 = 66$$
$$x_1+x_2+x_3 = 2$$
would result in the solution: $x_1 = 0, x_2 = 1, x_3 = 1$.
I wonder if this has to be done by brute force with trying all possible combinations or if there are smarter algorithms for this kind of problem.
What kind of problem is this at all? Not being a mathematician i even don't know what to search for (and probably asked totally wrong - Sorry).

1967 Chevelle Race Car - Best Damn Street StockWritten by on August 9, 2011 A Tennessee racer pays homage to the best damn mechanic with a '67 Chevelle
The car is unmistakable, notorious, infamous, innovative and, of course, illegal—at least in Bill France's eyes. I'm talking about, obviously, Smokey Yunick's legendary Chevelle, the actual version of which was chronicled in the Oct. '11 issue of Circle Track and is currently for sale. Most of us, however, couldn't afford the six figure asking price, so if we wanted one, we would have to take the path traveled by one Steve Tucker from Germantown, Tennessee.
By day, Tucker works for Parts Plus, but at night he and a group of friends transformed a skeleton of a '67 Chevelle into a first class Street Stock that pays tribute to one of the best mechanics to ever turn a wrench.
"I found the car on eBay in Dothan, Alabama, and purchased it for $500," says Tucker. "It was an original 327 four-speed car but none of that was there. All we got was the shell and frame, plus the rearend."
On the hot rod scene, a '67 Chevelle is a perfect restoration platform, but examples that are completely missing the interior floor are often, and unfortunately, bound to be parts cars or headed to the crusher. But Tucker had bigger plans for this diamond in the rough.
"I love stock cars and the grassroots element of our sport that they represent, but I think we have negatively impacted the fan appeal of the class by choosing mostly Camaro and Monte Carlo platforms to build upon. We all look alike."
But his motivation goes deeper than looks. "I have always admired the innovative spirit of those guys who came before us. Those guys, like Smokey, who for the most part were self taught but had the passion to 'figure it out.' Part of me thinks it is good that a person interested in getting into racing can pretty much order everything they need from a catalog to put a car together. But another part of me thinks we lost something from the time when people built these things by hand and every car was unique."
So, Tucker built a replica of Smokey's legendary Chevelle.
He got started by taking the car down to Larry Shaw Race Cars around Christmas 2010. There, Shaw employee Ferrell Fike built a 'cage. With the foundation complete and the car back in Memphis, Tennessee, Tucker and his group got to work on it in January 2011. All of the interior and bodywork was done by Tommy and Sonny Ray of Ray's Automotive. They happen to be dealers for Shaw Race Cars and have ties to local Memphis area track Riverside Speedway dating back to the early 1950s, when their father drove a "B" car there. Riverside would become the future home track of the Chevelle.
The car sports a 360ci Chevy engine with a two-barrel carburetor backed up by a Muncie transmission. The driveline features a lot of products from Comp Cams and Quarter Master, as well as a floating 9-inch rearend. Tony Wilson at Wilson Competition got the whole thing purring along and ready to race.
By April 14 they had the car complete and on the track. "In its first outing with this green driver behind the wheel we managed a Ninth Place finish after starting at the back of the pack in 16th," said Tucker. "And we brought all of the fenders home.
There is one final interesting fact about this car that caught our attention. "We are running on E85 race fuel which is a first for this part of the country," says Tucker. A '67 Chevelle dirt track car running on E85? Smokey would be proud.

Tommy and Sonny Ray of Ray's Automotive in Memphis completed all of the interior and bodywork. Here, Tommy lays down a coat of primer before applying the familiar black and gold paint scheme.Another view of the motor shows that Tucker fabricated a pan around the air cleaner to help feed air from the cowl to the motor. It's reminiscent of the handbuilt unit Smokey had on the original car.While the gauges are definitely updated and the car has the bars for a dirt screen, the crossbar right above the steering column is vintage Smokey.Just sitting still it looks aggressive. You can almost imagine Smokey looking down and smiling on it.

Soldier Surprise: Missouri Western guard Lanicia Lawrence sees father for first time in 10 months
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. - It had been 10 months since Missouri Western women's basketball player Lanicia Lawrence had seen her father.
That time came to an end Friday in an unforgettable reunion on the basketball court at the school's St. Joseph campus.
Toward the end of practice, US Army Staff Sgt. Barry Lawrence walked out onto the court, having just returned from Afghanistan. His daughter immediately teared up.
"I knew I would get a hug and a kiss," Barry Lawrence told Griffon Sports Insider. "But I didn't know there would be that much crying."
Missouri Western coach Rod Edmisson helped set up the meeting, and intentionally made it happen near the end of practice.
"I knew it was going to be an emotional time for her and probably some of our players," Edmisson told GSI, which produces athletics-based videos and programs for the university.
Lanicia said at first, she didn't think it was real. "I thought I was dreaming at first," said the junior guard, in her first year in St. Joseph after transferring from Hutchinson Community College in Kansas.
But her dream is reality, and it's going to stay that while, at least for now. Barry Lawrence's most recent tour in Afghanistan was his last.
"I'm about to retire," he said on a video posted on the GSI YouTube page. "We're gonna follow our kids. Whatever they decide to do, that's what we're gonna do."

Unanswered: Action columns and controllers
Has anyone tried to listen to an actioncolumn's handler inside of their controller? I'm trying to stay consistent with the MVC structure but that means in order to use the action column I need to use the handler inside of my view.
In order to work around it I'm using the grid's itemclick event and checking to see if the user is clicking on the icon or not but it seems really hacky.
Any insight is greatly appreciated.

A click listener on the actioncolumn will fire if you click anywhere in the column.
One option would be to have the handler fire an application level event and have a controller (or controllers) handle it.
Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', { storeId:'employeeStore', fields:['firstname', 'lastname', 'seniority', 'dep', 'hired'], data:[ {firstname:"Michael", lastname:"Scott"}, {firstname:"Dwight", lastname:"Schrute"}, {firstname:"Jim", lastname:"Halpert"}, {firstname:"Kevin", lastname:"Malone"}, {firstname:"Angela", lastname:"Martin"} ] }); var p = Ext.create('Ext.grid.Panel', { title: 'Action Column Demo', store: Ext.data.StoreManager.lookup('employeeStore'), columns: [ {text: 'First Name', dataIndex:'firstname'}, {text: 'Last Name', dataIndex:'lastname'}, { xtype:'actioncolumn', width:50, items: [{ icon: 'http://raymanpc.com/wiki/images/thumb/2/2f/GreenTick.png/20px-GreenTick.png', handler: function(v, row, col, item, e, rec) { MyApp.app.fireEvent('actionclick', v, row, col, item, e, rec); } }] } ], width: 250 }); Ext.define('MyApp.controller.Users', { extend: 'Ext.app.Controller', init: function() { var me = this; me.application.on('actionclick', me.onActioncolumnClick); } , onActioncolumnClick: function (v, row, col, item, e, rec) { console.log(rec); } }); Ext.application({ name: 'MyApp', controllers: ['Users'], init: function () { MyApp.app = this; }, launch: function() { this.addEvents('actionclick'); Ext.create('Ext.container.Viewport', { layout: 'fit' ,items: [p] }); } });

Ah, yes, good point. I've always disliked action column, precisely because it makes the regular patterns of the controller approach harder to implement.
One thing I've also done in the past is to simply capture the column click (as in my previous post), and then switch on the target (only meaningful if you have multiple columns...otherwise, no big deal). A little ugly, yes, but it does allow you to not have to slap a handler on the actioncolumn item.
4 Jan 2013 6:46 AM #5
Thanks guys.
Looks like there isn't really a good solution for this problem. Maybe it will be adjusted in future updates. As of now I'm just going to continue listening to the grid's itemclick event and making sure the user is clicking on the actioncolumn.
4 Jan 2013 7:00 AM #6
But if you target the action column, you will at least know that the click is within the domain of the actioncolumn. Even if you still need to switch on the target, at least you'd only be doing it for legitimate action column clicks, and not for every click on the grid.

Warren County is part of Appalachia HIDTA, the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Program, which includes Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia.
Tommy Loving, with the Bowling Green/Warren County Drug Task Force, says he's concerned the proposed cuts would hurt HIDTA's efforts to combat drugs.
The President is proposing cutting the budget in half from $228 million to $100 million.
WBKO contacted U.S. Representative Ron Lewis' office about HIDTA and it released this statement.
"In his budget, President Bush outlined his legislative priorities and cut funding government programs deemed wasteful, outdated or duplicitous.
Ultimately, funding continuation for all federal programs will be the decision of the Congress.
While the President's budget reflects his priorities, Members of Congress will fight for programs that reflect the needs of our districts.
As a strong supporter of drug enforcement, I recognize the importance of HIDTA in reducing the drug trafficking problem in Kentucky."
- U.S. Rep. Ron Lewis
We also contacted U.S. Senators Mitch McConnell and Jim Bunning, but did not receive an official statement.

Here is a nice graph representing the solution: wolframalpha. I wish to draw such a graph myself but don't have any idea which methods exist and which of them are more appropriate for equations of this kind.
The standard numerical method for plotting an implicit function graph, say $f(x,y) = 0$, is to evaluate $f$ at points on a triangular grid, see which cells of the grid have a change of sign, and use linear interpolation to approximate the function in each cell. Thus if you have three grid points $A$, $B$, $C$ with $f(A) = 1$, $f(B) = -1$ and $f(C) = 2$, you would draw a line segment from the midpoint of $AB$ to the point $1/3$ of the way from $B$ to $C$.
Another approach would be to numerically solve a system of differential equations such as $\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{\partial f}{\partial y}$, $\frac{dy}{dt} = - \frac{\partial f}{\partial x}$, starting at an initial solution. This would run into trouble at points where both partial derivatives are $0$ (which typically happens at self-intersections of the curve). Also, it's hard to know a priori how many initial solutions to look for (one in each component of the curve).
Note that the plot from Wolfram Alpha isn't particularly good; you can see a lot of jagged artifacts all over the place, presumably due to insufficient initial sampling. Here's a better one from Maple, made using
The figure shows that there is an arc through the origin which near $(0,0)$ is well approximated by the hyperbola $x+y=x y$. For this arc (a tiny portion of the whole image!) you can recursively compute a Taylor expansion as follows: Write $$x(t):=t +\sum_{k=0}^\infty a_{2k} t^{2k}\ ,\qquad y(t):=x(-t)$$ (note that I have chosen a particular parametrization) and plug this "Ansatz" into the equation $\sin\bigl(x(t)\bigr)+\sin\bigl(y(t)\bigr)=\sin\bigl(x(t)y(t)\bigr)$. Using the Taylor expansion of $\sin$ and comparing coefficients for all even powers of $t$ the $a_{2k}$ can now be determined one for one. Doing this with Mathematica I have obtained the following first coefficients: $$x(t)=t - {t^2\over2} - {t^4\over8} + {t^6\over12} - {319 t^8\over5760} - {541 t^{10}\over26880}+\ldots\quad .$$ Now make a parametric plot of $t\mapsto\bigl(x(t),x(-t)\bigr)$ for $|t|\leq 1$, say, and you will see the arc in question.
I have told this story because it gives an "analytical" approach to such problems and is radically different from the ideas brought forward in the other comments and answers.

I have seen answers to this question, which go beyond my understanding of compactness and continuity. I was wondering whether we can cook up a proof using sequential compactness and certain equivalent definitions of continuity such as the inverse image of any closed set is closed.
Here is what I have been able to conjure up so far.
Assume that the graph of $f$ is compact. This means that it is also closed and bounded. The graph is a closed and bounded subset of $A \times f(A)$. All we need to show is that $f(A)$ is compact, and we are are home free, right? (since continuous functions take compact sets to compact sets).
Question is: how do we show that $f(A)$ using the fact that the graph is compact. Can we claim that $f(A)$ is closed and bounded (since by Heine-Borel, any closed and bounded subset of $\mathbb R$ is compact)?
I feel like I am really close. Can anyone help me out?

YORKVILLE - Diagnosed with cerebral palsy at birth, Hailey M. Ullom, 18, is scheduled today to undergo spinal reconstruction surgery - a procedure aimed at preventing future damage to her heart and lungs.
Hailey's mother, Missy Ullom of Yorkville, said the surgery is potentially life-threatening, but without it, in the next five years Hailey's organs will become severely damaged because her spine is growing toward them.
This particular surgery, which includes reconstruction of her spine using tricalcium phosphate, will take place at the Cleveland Clinic and has only been performed a handful of times.
"I guess it's between her and God now," Missy said.
To help offset the cost of the surgery and travel expenses, along with a hotel for Missy because the Cleveland Ronald McDonald House is under renovation, family friend John Simmons is organizing a fundraiser. The Helping Hailey Night at the Races is slated for 6 p.m. June 1 at the Italian American Club on Sycamore Avenue in Elm Grove.
Tickets include food and draft beer. There will also be a 50-50 drawing, door prizes and poker.
Simmons, a Wheeling resident, said the Night at the Races is based on old films of horse races and involves people or companies sponsoring horses. On the night of the race, people can choose a horse on which to bet.
"On the night of the event, you bet on a horse and watch video of the races. It's a really good time. Everybody's hooting and hollering like it's a real race," Simmons said.
Those who would like to sponsor a race can call Simmons at (304) 905-3286.
Missy said Hailey's surgery is expected to last 12 hours and her hospital stay, at least three weeks. In preparation for the surgery, Missy said Hailey is not permitted to take any more pain medication, leaving her in "excruciating pain.'' Hailey uses a wheelchair and cannot talk or walk.
"I'm Hailey's only voice and I'm using it well," Missy said.

Bible movies to 'flood' screens, return religious films to the box office this year
Casey Crafford, LightWorkers Media Inc.
Ten years after Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" electrified audiences and reminded Hollywood's largest studios of the box office potential of movies with a religious theme, a new wave of Bible-related films is poised to flood theaters this year.
First up is "Son of God," a two-hour movie highlighting key events in Jesus' life, ministry and death, to open nationally on Feb. 28 after a publicity buildup specifically aimed at Christians.
That will be followed by two more feature films retelling the well-known Old Testament stories of Noah and "Exodus," featuring the great flood and Moses leading the children of Israel from Egypt.
Is the 2014 release of Bible-themed films a trend? "It certainly looks like it," said Elijah Davidson, co-director of the Reel Spirituality Program at Fuller Seminary's Brehm Center for Worship and the Arts in Pasadena, Calif. "There are more of these films coming out this year than we have normally seen."
But the reasons for Hollywood's recent embrace of the Bible vary from seeing the good book as a vehicle for great storytelling to a more deliberate purpose of using the powerful medium of film to spread a religious message.
Mark Burnett, producer of the "Son of God," said he expects the film "to be a conversation starter" and noted the story has an inherent drama some principals may not have imagined. "The disciples didn't know they were going to end up in the Bible," he said. "They were merely following Jesus."
Sacred, secular inspiration
The theatrical release of "Son of God" has its roots in the hugely popular 2013 TV miniseries "The Bible." Both are the creation of reality-show pioneer Burnett and his wife, actress Roma Downey, who portrays Mary, the mother of Jesus, in both projects. Downey is no stranger to faith-based themes, having originated the role of "Monica," an angel who intervenes in earthly situations in "Touched by an Angel," a drama series that ran for nine seasons on CBS.
Diogo Morgado, the Portuguese actor who portrayed Jesus in "The Bible" miniseries returns to the same role in "Son of God." During a recent screening of the film in Washington, D.C., Downey and Burnett said the idea for the movie began when they were filming the miniseries, and additional scenes were shot specifically for the movie.
"As we were shooting 'The Bible,' we knew there was another story in here," Downey said, with that story ending up as the new movie.
"Son of God" will be followed by the March 28 opening of "Noah," starring Russell Crowe as the title character.
"Noah" has attracted interest not only because of Crowe — whose first paid acting job was in a short film advertising the theology program of Avondale College, a Seventh-day Adventist school in Australia — but also because the story line allegedly doesn't hew closely to the Bible's story.
Even as it began production, "Noah" drew barbs: Brian Godawa, screenwriter of faith-related films "To End All Wars" and "Alleged," wrote a widely read 2012 blog post alleging the film uses the Bible to make a modern environmental point: "Noah paints the primeval world of Genesis 6 as scorched arid desert, dry cracked earth, and a gray gloomy sky that gives no rain — and all this, caused by man's 'disrespect' for the environment. In short, an anachronistic doomsday scenario of ancient global warming."
Paramount Pictures, which reportedly invested $125 million in "Noah's" production, isn't saying much about the film, according to Grace Hill Media, the faith-focused publicity firm helping with marketing.

This is terribly unusual for us, but as we get ready to head into the weekend, all we have to say is: enjoy the gorgeous weather!
Instead of tales of doom and gloom and words of dire warning, the weather outlook includes only mild temps and bright, sunny skies. Our current wave of below-normal temps will continue through the weekend, bringing highs only in the upper 80s.
Gentle breezes of less than 10 mph should accompany these un-August-like conditions, and the current forecast contains no mention of raindrops. If you've been looking for the perfect weekend to knock out a bunch of outdoor projects on the "Honey-Do" list, this may be your opportunity.

Suppose I have a two (or, in fact, an arbitrary number of) bibtex entries as follows:
@inproceeding{one,author = {Paul Elk}, title = {Moo}, series = {The Original Oak Likes Our Natural Ginseng}, ...}
@inproceeding{one,author = {Darma Shian}, title = {Waf}, series = {The Original Oak Likes Our Natural Ginseng}, ...}
As you may guess, the series name takes a lot of room in the references section.
I know there is a way (but I can't find it any more) to have latex/bibtex work so that the end result looks like:
[1] Paul Elk. Moo. In ..., volume 1 of The Original Oak Likes Our Natural Ginseng (henceforth 'TOOLONG'), 1942.
[2] Darma Shian, Waf, In ..., volume 2 of TOOLONG, 1955.
Ideally, that would work for any number of entries, whatever order they appear in. It is ok for me to choose the acronym, no need to infer it computationally.

She is like a misfit that doesn't belong because she is so different. No matter what the other girls may say, I would rather be Lilo's friends instead of hanging out with the popular girls that have regular dolls. Anyways, have fun with drawing Lilo easy folks.

Is there anything that can be said in general about the Cech cohomology of the sheaf $\mathcal{F}$ of sections of a holomorphic bundle over a contractible space $X$?
I know that such a bundle must be trivial, but I don't know much about Kunneth formulae, so haven't made much progress on that front. I've also thought about embedding it in an exact sequence involving the sheaf $\mathbb{Z}$ over $X$, but this doesn't seem to lead to any general results.
Could someone give me a hint as to whether there's anything obvious I'm missing? Otherwise just let me know that I'm looking for something non-existent! This is motivated by a desire to use the Mayer-Vietoris sequence to show that some cohomology groups are trivial by splitting the base space into contractible pieces - perhaps this isn't a method which works in general?
Many thanks in advance!

Let $SL_q(N)$ be usual quantised coordinate algebra of the special linear group. As is well-known, this is co-quasi-triangular algebra with coquasi-triangular structure given by $$ R(u^i_j \otimes u^k_l) = q^{-\frac{1}{2}}.(q^{\delta_{ij}}\delta_{im}\delta_{jn} + (q-q^{-1})\theta (i-j)\delta_{in}\delta_{jm}), $$
Now consider the much more general case of $G_q$ the quantised coordinate algebra of a complex semi-simple Lie group. This is defined dually in terms of a Drinfield-Jimbo quantised enveloping Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. As is also well-known, these algebras are also co-quasi-triangular. My question is does there exist a general formula for the co-quasi-triangular structure $R(u^i_j \otimes u^k_l)$ in terms of the Cartan data of $\mathfrak{g}$?

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.

A CDC Review of School Laws and Policies Concerning Child and Adolescent Health
James G. Hodge Jr.
Arizona State University (ASU) - Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law
Lance Gable
Wayne State University Law School
Julie Mair
affiliation not provided to SSRN
Journal of School Health, Vol. 78, pp. 69-128, 2008
Wayne State University Law School Research Paper No. 09-13
Laws and policies are important tools that can be used to improve the health and safety of children and adolescents in schools. Legal and policy tools may help refine schools' role in protecting the health of children and adolescents in school environments, motivating them to choose healthy behaviors through policies that encourage improved health and safety, and safeguarding them from multifarious health threats. This report systematically reviews a wide range of relevant legal authorities pertinent to schools that may help shape the health of children and adolescents. It discusses in detail eight areas: 1) health education; 2) physical education; 3) health services; 4) nutrition services; 5) mental health and social services; 6) healthy and safe school environment; 7) health promotion for staff; and 8) family and community involvement. The report provides an overview of the legal and policy landscape and should encourage readers to consider the potential for law and policy to contribute to students' health and safety.

A Quote by Fritjof Capra on ecological cycles, carbon dioxide, organic compounds, plants, green, photosynthesis, and respiration
Dissipative Structures - Chapter 8 – excerpt from page 178Green plants play a vital role in the flow of energy through all ecological cycles. Their roots take in water and mineral salts from the earth, and the resulting juices rise up to the to the leaves, where they combine with carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air to form sugars and other organic compounds. (These include cellulose, the main structural element of cell walls.) In this marvelous process, known as photosynthesis, solar energy is converted into chemical energy and bound in the organic substances, while oxygen is released into the air to be taken up again by other plants, and by animals, in the process of respiration.
By blending water and minerals from below with sunlight and CO2 from above, green plants link the earth to the sky. We tend to believe that plants grow out of the soil, but in fact most of their substance comes from the air. The bulk of the cellulose and the other organic compounds produced through photosynthesis consists of heavy carbon and oxygen atoms, which plants take directly from the air in the form of CO2. Thus the weight of a wooden log comes almost entirely from the air. When we burn a log in a fireplace, oxygen and carbon combine once more into CO2, and in the light and heat of the fire we recover part of the solar energy that went into making the wood.

Step2:Just copy some text and paste it in the "Search the Ext Forums" text box using,
a.ctrl + v (You can observe it's refreshing)
b.right click and select paste using mouse (you can observe it's not refreshing)
So I i want to refresh the text on paste from both methods.
please provide a method to do this using mouse paste.
