Do You Build Stuff? Tinker? Whatever?
I've always enjoyed building little things or taking things apart and doing werid stuff to it, but lately I've found I'm ejoying doing more serious stuff.
Not long ago a friend and I started getting into building some homemade instruments. We did a few small things here and there. We were talking about how we both liked a latin percussion instrument called a Cajon (Not cajones!) so we decided to set about designing and building some for ourselves. They came out good enough that several people have said they wanted to buy them. Don't know if we'll keep at it but I've really found I enjoy building stuff so now I'm looking for other interesting instruments to build. What next?
What do you all like to tinker with or build? Does anyone have any cool projects they've built that they've been particularly proud of?
Here's my finished Cajon:
Here's one being played exceedingly well: http://youtu.be/HXeNTf2EaUI
20 Answers answer
Those instruments sound cool, I love the picture.
I love to build stuff. I have designed and built several pieces of furniture, from simple cabinets, to to a platform bed with storage. My last project was a lounge chair. On that one, not only did I build the frame from scratch, but I dyed the leather that upholstered it. I always try to include a hidden storage compartment, just for fun.
I do build furniture from time to time -- Nothing too complex -- A bookshelf for my kids' playroom, an entry table, cabinets.
Last summer, I tried my hand at building kitchen cabinets and I think the end result was great. I had a blast doing it (don't tell my wife) and I got to update something that desperately needed to be updated. The best part is now that I have all the tools, I can do one at our new house for cheap (just the price of materials). The cabinet doors and drawers were the most fun part, by far.
Next, I'm building a hope chest for each of my girls, then maybe some matching beds, but I don't want to get too far ahead of myself.
There are , but :)
I'm an artist and hobbyist, so I make lots of stuff, from bronze sculpting to stained glass. My house is going to be 100 this year, so my best friend and I spend a lot of time working on it and we have built quite a lot of stuff. I mostly design and he mostly builds, I never have quite gotten the hang of power tools. But we've built fences, shelving, a cantilevered wooden shade for my dog, taken a small cabinet and cut it up and painted it to make a stand for a glass vessel sink. I have made bas relief poured concrete paving stones for my yard with dragons and butterflies and about a dozen different images with inset glass beads and shells.Just wait till I retire in a couple of years and then we are going to get really creative!
@capguncowboy: Great job on the cabinets.
@capguncowboy: Wow. Really nice job on the cabinets. How did you do them? Are the slats inset? Did you do the router work as well?
@moondrake: That's cool as hell. Had some friends who worked at a Bronze foundry for a while and that was really fascinating to see. I've always wanted to try my hand at glasswork as well. My dream would be to get the right tools to start messing around with artistic wood and glass creations.
i put together some shelves from Ikea once and felt like the most successful human being since the dawn of time.
@bingo969: I'm not sure what you mean by "inset". The shelves inside the cabinets are set in place (a groove was cut into the cabinet shell using a dado bit in my router. The shelves were slid into that groove prior to the face frame being glued on). Everything you see in the picture was done as custom work. I bought beadboard paneling to use as my door panels, but they were 3/8" thick, so they had to be routed down on the outsides to 1/4" so they'd fit into the door frames. The only thing that I didn't do custom was the crown moulding on top of the cabinets -- that came pre-routed.
I also did the rest of the work in the kitchen (floors, counter-tops, window, trim, beadboarding, electrical). It was my first kitchen, but I assure you it won't be my last. I enjoyed every minute of it.
I went about 30% over budget, but in the end I had 3/4" solid wood cabinetry, custom-made for my kitchen. I couldn't have gotten anywhere near my price if I hired someone else to do it.
So that I have money to give to woot, I build airplanes. For fun I am building a keezer with my brother, to serve his home brew beers. I am totally not used to working with wood (not to many airplanes built with wood in the last 70 years), but I am having a great time expanding my skill set.
I guess I am a whatever guy, because my wife always says "Whatever you are doing in there is not as important as this!"
I've always liked fixing my own stuff, or at least trying to. Pinterest has inspired me. I plan on making my own barrel smoker and composter next week. I want to make some patio furniture too. I found some I like on ana-white.com. They have instructions and everything. I just need more money for projects. lol
I built a pc for the first time a few weeks ago. Easier than you might think, and made me very proud of myself. Now I have a very nice htpc/light gaming machine in the living room.
I love to build stuff of all kinds, from woodworking to home improvement to electronics to outdoor Christmas display items.
I'm currently in the process of making a surf board and I can fix/build a decent amount of stuff.
@bingo969: I have the good fortune to live near a college with a foundry in the art department. There weren't enough students to run it, so the professor allowed me to join them for two semesters and in exchange for labor I was able to cast a half dozen pieces in bronze and aluminum. I also have a few that were sent away to foundries for casting. As for stained glass, I think the basic tool set was about $300 but half that was for the grinder. However, if you have a stained glass shop in your area, they will often let you come in and use their grinder if you buy all your other supplies there. However, unlike a lot of other creative hobbies, the tools aren't the bulk of the cost in making stained glass. All the supplies are expensive, and it's very time consuming. Also, if you work stained glass and have kids or pets you need to exercise special care regarding aerosolized lead. Make one piece on your own and you will forever appreciate the work of other stained glass artists.
@capguncowboy: Yeah. That is outstanding. You certainly have the kinds of skills I hope to get to one day!! I'm seriously impressed.
@ruger9mm: Airplanes. Holy crap - that's a whole new level of hardcore. Show some pics!
@intensesupernova: When I get home from work I'll find a pic or two of the trash can smoker I made last year. It works excellently and was a lot of fun to do.
I'm pretty much a crafty person, but my parents used to own an apt building so I learned how to do and build all different things, since they were more in to DIY than hire someone. I built a staircase once, practically by myself, that was cool, I was very proud :) I also put wainscotting in my Mom's living room and dining room, that turned out nice too.

Blizzard 2013: Preparation & Getting Through It
Feb. 7, 2013 --The major blizzard predicted to hit the Northeast and New England on Friday may dump as much as 2 feet of snow from New York City to Maine, the National Weather Service predicts. Winds may gust to 75 miles per hour.
If history repeats, major power outages, treacherous roads, and downed power lines are expected.
WebMD reached out to emergency experts and public health officials for information on blizzard preparation and getting through the blizzard safely.
Q: What should I do now to prepare?
Food and Water: Gather extra food and water. Get high-energy foods such as dried fruits, granola bars, and nuts, as well as food products that do not need to be cooked or refrigerated.
Get bottled water. Store it in a place you can get to easily.
Medications: Assemble medications you need on a daily basis. Put them in a backpack or easy-to-carry kit in case you need to evacuate.
Power: Have flashlights and fresh batteries available and other battery-powered items, such as radios, ready to use if the power fails.
Other: Update your list of emergency contacts.
If weather permits, go to the hardware or home improvement store for supplies, such as fresh batteries or a roof rake if you do not have one. A roof rake is designed to remove heavy snowfall from roofs and comes with a long extension. It could possibly keep you from climbing onto the roof.
Get an ice melting product to apply to slippery sidewalks.
Q: Do I need to take any precautions before shoveling snow?
Consider your heart health before deciding. The risk of a heart attack while snow shoveling may rise for some, especially those with existing heart disease, a history of stroke, or those in poor physical condition.
If you are at risk, let someone else do it.
If you can't find anyone, take precautions. Take frequent breaks. Don't eat a heavy meal right before or right after shoveling. Don't drink alcohol right before or right after shoveling. Use a small shovel.
Q: How do I prevent hypothermia/frostbite? What are the signs of frostbite?

All Four Teams Make a Super Case
Each Team Has a Weapon That's Both Unique and Difficult to Stop
Something amazing is happening in the NFL playoffs—everyone is really good. The four teams that remain left in the hunt for the Super Bowl—the Atlanta Falcons, San Francisco 49ers, Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots—don't have many holes and certainly aren't flukes (sorry, Giants fans, your team wasn't exactly the 1985 Bears last year). The Ravens, Patriots and 49ers are all returning to their second-straight conference championship game and the Falcons have made the playoffs for four of the last five seasons. It is, in short, one of the best final fours in recent memory. Each team has a special set of skills that will get them to the big game, and so, naturally, every team is going to make the Super Bowl. We outlined why:
At first glance, Atlanta's defense doesn't look especially tricky. The Falcons regularly line up at the start of each play in a standard "two-deep" alignment, which calls for each safety to patrol one half of the field, and is the defensive equivalent of a vanilla milkshake.
NFL Playoff Dossiers 2013
Who stands out in a wide-open NFL playoff field? Kevin Clark and Michael Salfino provide the real story on how to beat the teams still standing. Read each team's scouting report and a graphed presentation of their 2012 seasons in the Massey-Peabody index.
But once the ball is snapped, the Falcons rarely stick to such a simple scheme. Instead, they use a bewildering array of defensive shifts, disguised zones and coverage rotations to befuddle opposing quarterbacks and put safeties Thomas DeCoud and William Moore in prime position to force turnovers.
While Moore and DeCoud usually line up deep in the secondary, they often have license to undercut pass routes, charge forward in run support and even rush the opposing quarterback. According to the website Pro Football Focus, Moore has one sack, three hits and five hurries on 29 blitzes this season, making him the second-most productive pass rusher among all safeties.
Atlanta's knack for confusing opposing offenses with subtle coverage shifts may explain why their defense surrenders a significant number of yards but often forces a mistake before they give up points.
Opponents have racked up an average of 372.9 yards per game against the Falcons this season, but have scored just 19.2 points per game, meaning Atlanta has allowed one point every 19.4 yards surrendered, the best figure in the league.
Sunday's win over Seattle was a case in point. Trailing 13-0 in the second quarter, the Seahawks drove 59 yards to the Falcons' 11 yard line, but were stopped on fourth down when fullback Michael Robinson was stuffed on a delayed blitz by Moore.
"They do a great job," Robinson said. "They brought in an extra defensive lineman and then the safety off the edge. We just didn't have enough blockers for them."
Due to the dominance of Tom Brady, the phrase "high-powered" is thrown a lot around when talking about these Patriots. Don't believe it. The real secret is a calculated string of tactical passes that result in first downs and little else.
Consider this: They made 444 first downs this season, the most ever by an NFL team. They managed this with a collection of precise route-runners in wide receiver Wes Welker, tight end Aaron Hernandez and the now-injured Rob Gronkowski. These weapons are helped along by what even the Patriots admit is the most complicated system of route running in football—a nearly endless supply of "option routes," which basically give the receiver the chance to go in any number of direction on a route, depending on the coverage. The key for the Patriots is that with so many fast players running these routes, it's nearly impossible for a defense to keep up with everyone, especially over the middle with Brady's quick, tight throws. "First of all, they have so many weapons. If you're going to play zone, Tom Brady might kill you and if you're going to play man there are so many weapons. So it's a very difficult offense to defend," said Patriots defensive back Aqib Talib.
It's no secret that the 49ers have terrorized opponents with quarterback Colin Kaepernick's electrifying speed. But what makes the 49ers offense so effective isn't the fact that Kaepernick has a rocket launcher for an arm and can run like a wildebeest. It's how San Francisco has revolutionized the role of one of the most unheralded positions in the game: The fullback.
On a classic "zone-read" play, the quarterback reads the defensive end before deciding whether to hand the ball to his tailback or to keep it and run himself. But when the 49ers run their version, it isn't just Kaepernick who takes his cue from the defense. San Francisco also deploys a fullback—or tight end Delanie Walker—to deliver an array of different blocks based on the defensive end's movement.
If the defensive end is lurking outside, the fullback will seal him off to create a cutback lane for the tailback. But if the defensive end follows the tailback inside, the fullback will adjust to a so-called "arc block," in which he scoots around the defensive end and targets the outside linebacker at the second level.
The result: When Kaepernick runs with the ball, he often has a three-lane highway leading to the end zone. "Their blocking schemes and adjustments are very different," said New York Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell before a Week 6 meeting with the 49ers. "They're a little bit unique in what they do."
The Ravens' passing offense is significantly different from the Patriots' offense. For one, they aren't fond of those quick passes. Nor do they try for complicated, pinpoint routes. The Ravens' plan is much simpler: quarterback Joe Flacco chucks it really far and someone somehow catches it. The numbers show that strategy is working to perfection.
According to Pro Football Focus, no quarterback threw a deep pass more often than Flacco—17.3% of his throws were targeted at least 20 yards downfield and in the regular season he tied for the league lead in touchdowns on those throws with 11. But while throwing deep isn't terribly difficult, catching is. The Ravens' receivers, though, are unusually good at catching things. Only 4.3% of Flacco's passes were dropped this season (compare that to Tom Brady, who had 7.4% of his passes dropped). If there's anything to take from wide receiver's Anquan Boldin's outrageous 145-yard performance against Indianapolis in the wild card round, in which he averaged 29 yards per reception on simple routes, it's that the Ravens don't have the technical precision of other teams. They just heave it up there and against a spotty Patriots secondary which allowed the 29th-most yards in the NFL this season, that could work.

Determine for which $a$ values $f = x^2+ax+2$ can be divided by $g= x-3$ in $\mathbb Z_5$.
I don't know if there are more effective (and certainly right) ways to solve this problem, I assume there definitely are, but as I am not aware of them, I thought I could proceed like this: I have divided $f$ by $g$, pretending $a$ to be a constant in $\mathbb Q$, the resulting quotient is $x+(a+3)$, the reminder is $2+3(a+3)$. In order to have an exact division it needs to happen:
$$\begin{aligned} 2+3(a+3) = 0 \end{aligned}$$ $$\begin{aligned} 2+3a + 4 = 0 \end{aligned}$$ $$\begin{aligned} 3a + 1 = 0 \Rightarrow 3a=-1 \Rightarrow 3a = 4 \Rightarrow a= \frac{4}{3}=3 \end{aligned}$$
now I would expect $x^2+3x+2 = (x+1)(x-3)$, but it isn't the case because $(x+1)(x-3) = x^2-2x-3$. Is my way to solve this exercise totally wrong and it would be better if I'd set my notebook on fire (and in this case please feel free to jump in) or I am just doing some calculation wrong?

News Release (Back to Menu)
January 25 Roundtable on Immigrant Representation in New Jersey
Many immigrants in removal proceedings face the harsh prospect of being deported from the United States because they cannot afford competent attorneys. Nationally, only 50% of immigrants are represented; for detained immigrants, just 16% have representation. In New Jersey, the number of detention beds totals about 2,350 — a 47% increase over 2011 — which means that thousands of immigrants are detained every year in the state.
On Friday, January 25, 2013, the Immigrant Rights Clinic at Rutgers School of Law–Newark will host a roundtable discussion titled "Building Justice: Increasing Quality Immigration Representation in New Jersey." Topics to be covered include the gap in legal representation for immigrants and steps that should be taken to increase the capacity of legal service providers, promote pro bono representation, expand legal orientation and legal representation programs, and educate the public and government officials about these challenges.
There is no charge to attend but pre-registration is required. To register or if you have questions, contact Stephanie Robins at firstname.lastname@example.com.

It is always a good day when this comes in the mail. We qualified for the Jack Draw this year from our GC in New York. Our team along with all of the other qualifying events in Canada will have our bungs (they are the stoppers from the actual Jack Barrels) all put into a hat. Out of those qualifiers 3 are chosen to represent Canada at the Jack. We have had this privilege twice before. Hoping for good luck this time again. No matter what Canada has a lot of outstanding teams that really do know their BBQ!
The last time we went…. good things happened.

Three-Year-Old's Temper Tantrums
Q: We have a three-year-old son who recently began a very disturbing behavior. He will, most often in the morning, go into a rage when asked to get dressed or have breakfast,etc. Once precipitated, the rage will continue unabated for up to an hour! It is impossible to talk to him during the episode as he cannot hear through his own screaming, and further it only seems to aggravate it more. We also can't seem to let him "cry it out" as he will attach himself to your leg, screaming not to do whatever you were headed for. Then as suddenly as it starts, it stops. As if a switch is thrown, he will re-engage in play and appear happy and light. How do will handle the rage episodes? Is this "normal" behavior for a three-year-old? What causes it? Help!!!
A: Your son has entered the tantrum stage. I know it's hard to fathom how this content little child seemed to turn overnight into this periodically rageful, inconsolable three-year-old. Tantrums may appear several times a day for months, plateau, maybe disappear, and then reappear at the next growth spurt. What usually precipitates these tantrums is the boxed in, angst-ridden feeling the preschooler has when he wants to be more independent but doesn't have the skills or freedom to do what he wants. Your son's seem to center around his railing against being asked to participate in his usual morning rituals. He's not consciously choosing to be out of control every morning. As you can see from how scared he is while this is going on, he is as overwhelmed and stunned by his uncontrollable emotions as you are. Trying to talk to him or reason with him during a tantrum is worthless, he truly can't hear you.
A book that will help you understand and head off tantrums, talk to your child about them, and reduce their frequency and duration is Kathy Levinson's " First Aid For Tantrums" (Saturn Press). There is also good advice about periodic rages in Patricia Henderson Shimm's "Parenting Your Toddler" (Addison Wesley). I know that after consulting these resources you will be far better equipped to understand the reasons why he is behaving like this and to cope with these tantrums. Thankfully they do pass as the child moves through this developmental struggle for independence and control.

I am new babe to Linux. So please skip to read if you are not patient with beginner.
Let's say I am asked to check and shut down the processes that I am not familiar with.
So when I
ls under bin folder, I see multiple process
.sh. But I want to know which process is associated with which tomcat process.
Is there any easy way to find out that?
startmyprocess1.sh, but when I do
ps -ef | grep startmyprocess1 doesn't return the running process.
But actually the running tomcat process name is
myprocess, so when I do
ps -ef | grep myprocess, I can see the running process. To know that I have to ask the responsible person.
So, the names are different. If like that, I need to ask him several times. Any better way to figure this out?

Cocoa Milk Powder
Cocoa is the dried and partially fermented fatty seed of the cacao tree from which chocolate is made. In the United States, 'cocoa' often refers to cocoa powder, the dry powder made by grinding cocoa seeds and removing the cocoa butter from the dark, bitter cocoa solids. Cocoa powder has an extremely bitter flavor. A cocoa pod has a rough leathery rind about 3 cm thick (this varies with the origin of pod). It is filled with sweet, mucilaginous pulp called 'baba de cacao' in South America, enclosing 30 to 50 large almond-like seeds (beans) that are fairly soft and pinkish or purplish in color. The uses of cocoa beans are numerous. Chocolate or cocoa powder is mixed into cakes, ice creams, creams, cookies, or drinks as a natural flavour. It is the second most popular ice cream flavor, after vanilla. Sometimes it is merely used as a natural coloring agent for food, such as pasta. One of the most common forms of cocoa is the chocolate or candy bar. It is also available in chocolate syrup, used as an ice cream topping or to make chocolate milk. Cocoa has about twice as many antioxidants as does red wine, and up to three times more than green tea. Antioxidants are thought to be healthy compounds. Several chocolate manufacturers are beginning to offer chocolate products with guaranteed levels of these antioxidants, called polyphenols. The high antioxidant level in cocoa gives dark chocolate an ORAC value of 13,120 and milk chocolate an ORAC value of 6,740. [4] A 15-year study of elderly men published in the Archives of Internal Medicine in 2006 found a 50 percent reduction in cardiovascular mortality and a 47 percent reduction in all-cause mortality for the men regularly consuming the most cocoa, compared to those consuming the least cocoa from all sources.

'The war on boys: young men losing ground in education, emotional health and
jobs' - title
A 'war' on something typically implies that there is a focused effort, to destroy said thing or person.
What is 'attacking' boys?
Answer? Nothing. They are slipping in education and emotional support. But NOT due to any focused effort any one person, or group.
I realize the Deseret News needs to sell papers but all this 'war' mongering is now becoming an example of fiction.
Boys are failing in education?
HELP them!
But they are not the target of some perceived agenda.

What is 'attacking' boys?
Every decision that results in dads being estranged from their sons. Including single women deciding to have children without a father, mothers deciding to divorce and trumping up fake abuse allegations to keep her annoying ex out of her and her children's lives, courts who overwhelmingly favor mothers over fathers, even when there are no abuse concerns, gay partners who decide to have children and deprive the child of the other gender, people who have children out of wedlock with no concern for the stability of their child's life...
It's not one thing - the family, and every member of it, are under attack by society, by Hollywood, by government welfare encouraging dependency instead of encouraging people to stand on their own feet (as such people are far more likely to be married and stay married).

Well said, Demisana. Although I now live in Utah, I was born and raised in California. I saw these problems are a teacher. So sad. I remember one child who was truly brilliant and always in trouble crying because his Daddy wasn't at a program we did. It broke my heart. I come from a divorced family. Fortunately, my mother was able to find a good man to marry me who eventually adopted me after my birth father abandoned me. I'll never forget that day he told me I was smart. I went from getting Cs and Bs to straight As. Children deserve a mother and a father. It makes all the difference. I saw it as a teacher so many times. Let's protect and encourage traditional marriage.

"Q: As you know, fewer young men are going to college. Do you think
affirmative action is the answer to it?
A: I think it starts before that. I think we need to examine the way we're teaching children from elementary school. Are we asking boys to sit still when they really want to jump around? Is it because boys have fewer and fewer role models because such a large percentage of elementary teachers are women? I suspect those are the reasons.
If we can figure out ways to help address the education of boys that is specific to boys not denying girls, of course maybe they will be able to continue through school and be able to get good jobs."
(Laura Bush 2005)
The U.S. has a higher percentage of single parent families than many other industrialized countries. It is very difficult to be a parent, let alone a single parent, and meet all the needs of children. I don't think it is much about the sex of the parent as it is about the child having 2 involved, emotionally, physically and financially supportive parents.

All of the studies all over the world show that a child does best with their in
tact supportive biological family.
The fast track to poverty and bad outcomes is single women having children.
The fast track to abuse is an biologically unrelated male in the home.
Like it or not the overwhelming evidence is that children that live in a home with a the same gender significant other to their parent have very high rates of all kinds of abuse.
These studies come from all over the world, even where same gender marriage and the homosexual lifestyle has been accepted for years.
The elephant in the room is that children need parents of both genders to be involved in a positive way in their lives.

For too long we have followed the liberal prescriptions to cure our ills, and
only made them worse. Much worse.
Destruction of the family is the core problem: Praise of single-parenthood, instead of its condemnation. Emasculation of male roles and play so that no one's feelings are hurt and no winners or losers. The insane urge to make little boys play with dolls instead of toy guns, and never do anything the least bit dangerous. The "feminist" idiotology. Worst is the all encompassing liberal "welfare plantation" which rewards dependency and discourages self reliance and achievement.
Television has not had a responsible father figure since Bill Cosby. Instead men are portrayed as useless buffoons. Our kids have paid attention, and now we are surprised?
There need to be consequences for good and bad choices (and applause for daring to judgmentally label them as such!)
Stay in school, don't have sex until you get married, and don't get married until you are able to support a family. Don't go into debt.
Simple rules, and with almost universal good results for all who follow them. And, those who don't inevitably end up failing in many ways... and blaming others.

Re:DN Subscriber
Liberal here, parent of 3 boys.
There is the Conservative media rant from people like, SINGLE-parent Laura Ingraham, Limbaugh and others who blame all the ills of the world on Liberals with sweeping generalizations, which then get repeated in posts such as yours.
I can't recall single parenthood being praised. Maybe you are confused with the praise heaped upon a single-parent, who overcame tremendous challenges to succeed. Big difference.
I don't think it was "liberal" policy that has, in some cases created a more permissive parenting style. I think it was a rejection of the shaming, autocratic style many of us grew up with that some parents took too far the other way.
I dont know of anybody that "made" their little boys play with dolls. My sons and their friends all did the typical boy things; sports, paintball and BB guns included. Also music lessons. Liberals believe every capable adult should get a good education which leads to decent jobs. We also believe in being self-reliant, but also helping those who fall short. Welfare was reformed by Republicans and Clinton in the 90's. Do Republicans have more ideas? Let's hear them.

This is a case of affirmative action gone too far. Make programs to bolster one segment of the population and let them run until that segment has passed the others. Then you have to make programs to better the other segments. The cycle goes on and on.

To "no fit in SG," I am an LDS single father, having raised my two children over most of 20 years. The "LDS brand" was an essential guiding factor in my life - helping me to give my children a sense of value, moral standards, purpose in life, self esteem, personal responsibility, and a basic healthy concept of who they are. This included much-appreciated help from fellow LDS ward members in terms of babysitting my children, interacting with them, and setting positive examples for them. So, is there something wrong with that??

Yes, there is a *war* on boys, girls, and all God's children, and the enemy is
Satan. He will do anything he can to destroy current and future families.
Yes, we should help the boys. But how? Do we strengthen the home? Do we encourage fathers and mothers in their roles as parents?
Or do we bypass the parent and go for direct public, government programs and policies. As much good as some organizations do in their direct support of children, I would submit that more will be accomplished by supporting and encouraging the God-given role of a biological, differently-gendered set of parents. That kind of help would yield more, longer-lasting, and better results.

It is possible to excite some people about math and math related fields, but
that doesn't come about by begging them to go into a particular field.
It comes about by taking math classes where students are led to the point where they can solve interesting problems.
This is why most people choose engineering. They love what they are being taught in math and physics in high school and want to continue on.
So long as math in our secondary schools is dumbed down, interesting problems and a sense of accomplishment will be hard to come by. Many teachers are aware of the damage that has been done to math education. Others reflexively deny there is a problem. This mostly includes administrators in the school districts and professors of math education (not mathematics) in the universities.
Might I suggest a return to proof based geometry, at the honors level for students who desire it. This way math classes taught subsequently don't have to be taught at a lower level.
Challenging math is interesting math. Those people who have the capacity to appreciate math, will not do so if they are learning only dumbed down math.

Not sure if your comment is intended to be serious or insulting.
I know there are some who are insulted by the notion that certain religions and communites in this country actually value boys and see them as more them video game playing, dirty magazine looking bafoons.
I'm sure you're both familiar with the term, "There are lies and then there are statistics."
Feel free to bury your heads in the sand all you want. Feel free to ignore, scoff at, or ridicule studies like this all you wish. But the fact of the matter is, boys in our country are struggling and falling short in ever greater numbers.
Perhaps, like some in our society, you honestly don't care about teenage boys or young adult men and where they're headed in society. Perhpas the numbers displayed in this article give you pleasure. I'm sure NOW, the ACLU, Planned Parenthood and the NEA are all high fiveing each other right now.

In fairness, I think it's foolish to suggest that all boys in our society are
being kicked to the ground while all girls are being propped up and handed
everything on a silver platter.
The numbers in this article clearly show that boys in our society are being short changed.
Of course, no one (except radical, far left feminists) are flat out saying things like, "Boys are worthless and we should all prevent them from doing well in school."
It's a lot more subtle than that.
It includes TV talk shows that glamorize violent, sexually active men.
It includes TV shows, movies and video games in which men are often shown as selfish, violent, hurtful and lazy.
It includes the glamorizing of male athletes who father children with many different women.
But even beyond this, society in general places more value and looks and money than brains, and that goes for both males and females.
People like Pagan and Truthseeker will contiue to mock and belittle articles like this. The rest of us can actually do something about it.

Re:Clark Hippo
Mocking? Belittling?
I am acutely concerned and aware of the plight of boys in our society, since I have only sons.
It doesn't appear as if you read my posts, but instead, just respond with a knee-jerk reaction..
One of my posts was merely rebutting the notion that liberals, liberal policies, are to blame.
I really don't know that teaching methods are to blame. I think schools are more conducive to allowing children to move around the classroom which suits boys better than when I was in school (decades ago) and nearly all day was spent sitting at desks. That's not to say teaching methods shouldn't be examined. I would be interested to hear from teachers.
I really do believe the increasing percentage of single parent families is a big factor. My son told me once he knows boys who don't plan on going to college because they can't afford it and because they need to work to help support the family. I think the loss of a father through divorce can have a greater affect on the boys or at least affects them in ways different than daughters.

I think the majority of comments here are right - I don't think there is a specific war on boys - it's just a symptom of the way our society is working right now. TV and movies, as well as video games, don't help matters. They promote violence and a lack of personal responsibility. Boys (and men) are not cool if they are intelligent and sensitive. Not very much of entertainment out there exhibits any value in family or any sort of moral baseline for kids to follow. Men that are intelligent and/or sensitive are portrayed as either gay or nerdy. The message is: it's not cool to be smart, it's not cool to follow the rules, it's not cool to just be a normal well-adjusted male.

How about this heresy -
Give all parents vouchers which will allow parents, if they so choose, to send their kids to same-sex schools. They boys' school could have a ciriculum based on the style of learning that fits boys and the same at a school for girls which could have a ciriculum based on the style of learning that fits girls.
We all know that males are visually stimulated, hence 95% of porn is of nude women (and the porn of nude men is bought more by gay men than by straight women). Visual entertainment like video games and PCs are FAR more attractive to males than females. having a visually oriented ciriculum for boys would work better for them than for girls.
Perhaps in same-sex schools, the kids would focus more on studying rather than trying to show off for and attract members of the opposite sex.
it may not be PC, but as Glenn beck says, "The truth has no agenda".

The Georgia Department of Natural Resources' Wildlife Resources Division is proposing to remove the season restriction for fishing in marked areas around three springs in Lake Blackshear. This fishing regulation change will be the main topic at an upcoming public hearing scheduled to take place on Tues., July 9 (7 p.m.) at Georgia Veterans State Park, Group Shelter #2, (2459 U.S. Highway 280, Cordele, GA).
The Wildlife Resources Division encourages attendance from local anglers and other interested parties as public input is an important and valuable part of the rule-making process.
The Wildlife Resources Division, Fisheries Management Section renovated these springs at Lake Blackshear after the flood of 1994 in the hopes of improving cool water habitat for adult striped bass. However, these areas have not provided the cool water habitat that was anticipated and the regulation preventing fishing in these areas is not needed.
Anyone attending the meeting is welcome to provide statements or comments, either orally or in writing. Statements should be concise to permit everyone an opportunity to speak. Participants should register upon arrival and notify the registering official of their intent to give a statement.
Those unable to attend a meeting may submit input electronically at www.gofishgeorgia.com/fishing/proposedregulations or in writing by July 30, 2013. Written statements should be mailed to:
GA DNR, Wildlife Resources Division, Fisheries Management Section; Attn: Matt Thomas; 2070 U.S. Highway 278, S.E.; Social Circle, Georgia 30025.
These meetings sites are accessible to people with physical disabilities. To request sign language interpretation or other auxiliary aids, contact Matt Thomas at (770) 918-6406 no later than July 5, 2013.
For more information or to view the proposed changes, visit www.gofishgeorgia.com/fishing/proposedregulations or contact the Albany Fisheries office at (229) 430-4256.

Yes, let's all run to Texas, where the home prices are high and the median
individual income is barely above the poverty level.
It is interesting how meaningless organizations manufacture official-sounding data that serve to create public opinion and that many swallow the data with such enthusiasm.
Anyone else notice that these are states heavily influenced by the Tea Party? The hidden message? When pay is that low and housing prices stay that high, the disparity between rich and poor is huge. Right to work states give workers the right to be poor. But don't worry; the "job creators" are doing just fine.

I've been to a lot of places in Texas and except for San Antonio and the
Alamo, I have to agree with what my son asked when he said: "Just what do
Texans have to be so proud of?" (This is when we were in Austin during
September one year.)
We have been in Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, Beaumont, Houston and San Antonio. I do like San Antonio. But when I hear the phrase "Don't mess with Texas" I wonder: Who would want to get involved with Texas? A half-pound of Jelly Beans at the DFW airport was $8. No thanks on the Texas sized prices.
I laugh when I remember the old joke that when Alaska was admitted into the Union and Texans complained about becoming the 2nd largest State, folks from Alaska said: "If you're not careful we'll divide Alaska in half and you'll be the third-largest State." Too funny.

I installed Ubuntu Server 10.04 via VirtualBox, yes, the I use virtual machine, cuz I am learning ubuntu. I installed apache webserver by this command:
sude apt-get install apache2
Everything looks okay, no error. Now, how do I test if the apache server is working? Normally in windows OS, after install apache, I go to web browser, point to 127.0.0.1, and the webpage will display "it works". How do I test my ubuntu server web apache?

I sometimes write classes which can be converted to- and from- something else, and I'm used to writing it as a non-static convert-to method and a static convert-from method, for example:
class A {
B toB() {...}
static A fromB(B b) {...}
class B {
void save(File f) {...}
static B load(File f) {...}
I used to think it's a good and simple approach, but lately the static-ness of the conversion-from method has been annoying me, for instance if I want to define an interface for types that can be converted to- and from-
interface ConvertableToAndFromB {
B toB();
// ?
So, is there an elegant way of doing that without having the conversion-from as static, other than migrating to Smalltalk?
To clarify, I realize I can add a non-static method in the interface, e.g.:
interface ConvertableToAndFromB {
B toB();
void fromB(B b);
or, if I want to allow immutable types (thanks Stripling):
interface ConvertableToAndFromB<T implements ConvertibleToAndFromB<T>> {
B toB();
T fromB(B b);
But that will require me to create a new
A before I can even invoke this, as in:
A a = new A();
or (for immutable):
A a = new A();
a = a.fromB(b);
which is what I'm trying to avoid (but will do with no other solution). I just hope there's a nicer way.

A New Dawn: The Sith Rising
Welcome! The theme of the story is set before the rise of Darth Vader and after the ending of Knights of the Old Republic.The characters actions and personalities are based off people that I know from Teamspeak, so therefore it shall be very interesting, atleast to me. My inspiration came from the new MMO coming out "The Old Republic" and its trailers. For the record, this if from a different forum.
Enjoy the story!
Talon Dakari
Iakelo Ope
Dacob Kharr
Triko Kaast
Feel free to leave any comments, praise, criticism, or discuss anything related.
Part 1: The Rising
Coruscant... The center of the political galaxy, and the birth-place of the Jedi. Hover-cars zipped across its barren surface hundreds of feet above the ground, while people gossiped about what happened during the local council meetings. For three hundred years the Republic has been at peace, and for three hundred years its enemies have plotted against it. From the outer-rim to Coruscant danger lurked, and now it would be unleashed upon the Republic.
Jedi Padawan Talon Dakari meditated in the library of the Jedi Temple, while slowly absorbing the information of the ancient texts in front of him. The words "Hello Talon!" disrupted his concentration, he opened one eye and saw it was his friend Iakelo. Iakelo was a little taller than the average man, with a good strong build, with medium long, rustic colored hair, he charms people with his dark-brown eyes. He carries a large double-bladed republic lightsaber, with a black hilt with silver bandings, and the main stem was gold. He wore a long, worn dark blue jedi robe.
Talon had short, dark blond hair with big green eyes, he was lean and lanky, and a little shorter than Iakelo. He wore a long brown jedi robe, and in public propped his hood up, and he had a prominent chin. He wielded a green lightsaber with a grey hilt, and a curving stem which was thinner in the middle.
"Really? I was trying to-, nevermind what do you want?" said Talon angrily.
"Dacob wants to speak with you, its urgent."
"Yes, it will only be a moment."
Talon gathered his books and headed directly to the council chamber accompanied by Iakelo. Dacob was sitting by several other Knights and Masters. Dacob had long black hair, which layed down on his shoulders, and matched perfectly with his dark-grey robes. He had light, gingerly blue eyes. He prefered to use a blue lightsaber, however he would use anything given to him.
"Talon, Iakelo thank you for arriving so hastily." said Dacob, the other Jedi nodded in agreement.
"Do you know why you are here?"
Talon and Iakelo stared at each in embarassment, and then turned back and said together "No Master Jedi."
"They're are reports of... Dark Jedi meeting on Coruscant." The group of Jedi turned towards each other in disbelief, for Dacob had not even told them of the news.
"We would send more experienced Knights, but we can not spend any more Jedi on tasks on Coruscant, and all others are on different systems." Dacob stepped forward and placed his hand on Talon's shoulder and whispered in a desperate tone.
"This is more serious than it may sound, if you complete this task you shall be raised to the rank of Knight, and so will your companion."
They spoke of more regular matters for several more minutes, until the young padawans were dismissed. Iakelo stopped Talon as they exited the chambers. "Did you hear that! We can go do something useful, save some damsels in distress, become heroes!" Talon stopped Iakelo from yelling their mission to everyone in the Temple.
"This is serious Iakelo, now please, be mature." As they exitted the temple Talon lightly punched Iakelo on the shoulder, and they laughed in confidence and they made they're way through the streets and alleys of Coruscant.
The two young padawans made they're way to the old Republic warehouse, in which Sith meetings had been taking place. Talon lead the way through its long corridors, sticking to the walls and only peeking around corners. They did not speak as they got closer to the meeting chambers. The sounds of lightsabers clashing echoed throughout the warehouse. Iakelo and Talon entered the chamber on an upper level, to observe from above, and what they saw was frightening. Five Dark Jedi were training together, for purposes unknown, but purposes that would not be helpful for the republic.
Talon turned to say something to Iakelo, however Iakelo was not there, he was sprinting down the hallway to the stairs, with lightsaber in hand.
Blasted idiot!
Talon watched as Iakelo confronted the Sith alone.
"You are enemies of the Republic, change your dark and wicked ways and you shall be forgiven!"
"You are the one who has been deceived..." Said the presumed Master, who wielded a double-bladed lightsaber.
They started to surround Iakelo, though he was not afraid, and full of confidence. Their Master stepped forward and said, "Surrender and turn towards the Dark, or perish." It was then that Talon leaped from the upper levels, and landed on top of a Sith Jedi, who was killed with ease. "Turn back to the light or perish." said Talon. Iakelo engaged two, while Talon engaged the Master and his apprentice.
"Stay back, young Sith, for he is mine to kill." The Master motioned for his apprentice to stay back to observe, to learn perhaps?
Talon charged, clashing into the Master, he was stunned, but not killed. The Sith swung sideways, Talon ducked under and hacked at him from behind, however the Sith blocked that as well. Out of the corner of his eye, Talon observed Iakelo killing the last Sith Jedi, and proceeded to enter the fight which Talon had begun. The Sith blocked both attacks, with the two sides of his weapon, however Iakelo had managed to scath the Sith slightly, which left a scar upon his face.
Iakelo had distracted the Master, who had almost beaten Iakelo until Talon, using the force jumped high into the air, his heart beating and hand shaking, he plunged his weapon into the Sith, who gave his last breath, and died. The apprentice was gone, but Talon and Iakelo did not pursue him, they instead rested for several minutes, looking for any information of Sith activities.
Talon looked at his tired companion and said, "We may as well saved the Republic here, eh?" Iakelo was taking the killing hard however, and only said "Ye... Ye... Yeah sure." Talon wrapped his arm around his friend as they made it back towards the Jedi Temple.
The two men walked into the hazy council chamber, where it seemed Dacob and the other Jedi had not even moved.
"Welcome friends! What is the news of your quest?" said Dacob.
"We found the Sith inside the warehouse." said Talon, and Iakelo interrupted him.
"We killed four Sith, and one escaped Master Jedi."
"That is grave news indeed, however you have succeeded on your quest, kneel." The two Jedi kneeled in front of the Great Master, and as they rose they heard the praises of everyone around them, for they had become Knights, sworn defenders of the Republic.
"Sadly we do not have time to give you any rest, they're are more reports of Sith activity on Dantooine. However this time you will not be alone, I shall accompany you." The two Knights had looks of shock on their faces, for why would a master accompany a knight?
"It would be an honor, Master Jedi."
"Great, now let us be off! To the spaceport!"
The three men took several shuttles and streets to get to the spaceport, but once there it was magnificent. Its high white, shining dome impressed all who looked upon it.
The door opened into a dark, smokey room, banging with loud, cheap music. Iakelo had been left back at the Starport Offices to book a ticket to Dantooine, to make the arrival of the Jedi have less chance of being heard of by the Sith. Dacob scanned the room, looking for anything which might suspose skill or talent.
"We need men of talent, whether they be mercanaries or troopers." Dacob pointed towards a corner of the cantina, full of bounty-hunters and mercs. The Jedi approached the corner cautiously, to avoid anyone pointing out their vocation. They approached a scruffy looking man who had a large suit of mercenary armor and two blasters on his hip, and a wide-brimmed hat on his head. The man looked up at the two Jedi staring down at him.
"I suppose your here to collect my debts?" said the man, with a hand on his blaster.
"No, I only have a proposition for you."
The man put both of his hands on the table, with a curious look on his face.
"Why would some
Jedi like you, need help from a man like me?"
"That is not for you to know, my offer is final, one thousand credits."
"One thousand five hundred!"
"Five hundred."
"Fine, you got me. I'll take it, but I'll need more information than that."
The three men took a stroll to the space-port, while explaining their mission to certain extents, the bounty-hunter agreed. "The name is Triko... Triko Kaast." When they arrived at the space-port, Iakelo had a face of
boredom. "Iakelo! Let us be off, if you have fulfilled your tasks?"
"Yes Dacob, I can't wait!." Iakelo hopped a bit off the ground as they entered the ship.
