I recall there was an offer of a gift (a T-shirt) to those who reached a given number of posts. May I know if that offer is still valid? Anyway, how would the members look at this offer?
An offer of a gift
We would have more coming these years again and the last one is not on anymore. Wait for some more time but the number of posts would not be same as last year but higher.
Thank you, shabbir, for your reply.

Actually, it's been right around this price for a while now (since Oct.'12):
Best Buy has it for the same price, which means you can couple it with the "Upgrade and Save" promo. That would knock the price down to just $5.
@proxgotsthafia: Nice find, thanks.
SUCH a great film.

This is a play from the 14th century (reportedly "the first secular tragedy written since Roman times") relating the tale of Ezzelino da Romano and written by one Albertino Mussato. Is there an online English text? Or at least a published book where it appears in translation?
There appears to be an out of print version put out by Penn State in 1972. If you can't locate a copy of that, you could try the physical library at Penn State.
This is the kind of thing that really needs to be made available at Project Gutenberg, but somebody has to volunteer to do the work.

What icon would best convey "Make a new post"? Can't think of any, considering just spelling out "Make a new post" instead.
Some quick ideas:
Assuming that wordpress are the people who have reserched this the best I thought it worth taking a look at what they use. They use a pin icon to illustrate 'post'. Going with the theame that the blog is more like a noticeboard than anything thats actually posted. The other examples I have seen are all a little too generic to really comunicate what you are doing.
The pin is also used on sites like Pinterest to link to something, to communicate that you are creating something I would make the button Red. Which thanks to Google is now the colour for a button that creates something. (with other colours reserved for other types of buttons). I nottice it's orange on stack exchange, which is one of the most used colours for a call to action and could also work.
Still definutely worth writting the text in aswell tho. Good luck.
It depends a bit on how large you want the icon te be displayed and still be recognisable. Ideas that pop up in my mind are a fountain pen (or maybe just the pen's nib), a set of radially arranged lines
or a star over a blank sheet of paper.
A traditional 'new document' icon might also work: a rectangle with a dog ear on the bottom right corner.

Hi All
I have been going through the classes we have developed over the last few years and sharing back with the community some of them that I think will be useful to others. These components have been tested extensively in ext-3.2.1.
Here is: Ext.ux.form.Message

Why is this a form field? Would think a plugin for the form would be better. And what happens if you have 2 or more of them?Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

Hi Mitchel
We made this a form element because our forms contents are generated on the server side and displayed using our component Ext.ux.panel.RemoteInstantiateDirect. With some modifications to the back end however we could use a plugin for the same purpose. I did a quick test to see what would happen if there were 2 fields in the form and I see your point -- one alert would overwrite the other. I had expected it would result in 2 alerts.
Thank you for the input.
Best regards

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Department of Highways hopes a new roundabout at the intersection of the 31-W Bypass and University Blvd. will help reduce traffic and accidents.
The Department of Highways says traffic has become congested on Chestnut Street with drivers trying to turn onto the bypass.
The two lane roundabout will be the first of its kind in Bowling Green, and the dept. says it's also a safer alternative to the traditional intersection.
"With a traditional intersection.. with the left turn movements, and the right turns, there is about 32 conflict points. On a roundabout, that number goes down to about eight. Not only are there fewer conflict points. The crashes that occur in a roundabout tend to be less severe," said Dept. of Highways District 3 Chief Engineer Greg Meredith.
Discussions of constructing a roundabout have been in the works since 2005, but the Department of Highways hopes to begin construction by April 2014.
It also plans to hold a public forum to address the plans in the next few months.

Treat Wins Iron Woman Event; Hubbard, O'Connor, Martinez, And Broadwell Also SSP Main Event Winners
By Ben Deatherage
(Photo Courtesy of Alyssa Jones)
In addition to hosting the Northwest Wingless Tour, Sunset Speedway Park would host five other classes. Those divisions were the Womens, Dwarf Cars, Street Stocks, Northwest Extreme Modifieds, and Micro Sprints. Of the five other classifications on tap four would be first time winners.
The Womens division were on hand for their biggest race of the 2014 campaign, the Iron Woman event. Marcie Treat of Cornelius would seize the lead on the start and put her Barebones Racing/DVC Machine/Dave's Automotive/Transaction Transmissions #02 Camaro in front. She would pace the field the rest of the distance to win her first career victory and the inaugural Iron Woman event.
Gabrielle Hollinger of Banks, in her All-In Property Investments/Duncan Automotive/Avenue Title Company/Jeremy Martin Racing #60 Firebird, was second followed by Christine Strode from Yamhill in the Terry Houck owned Luttrell's Trucking/Trask Mountain Outpost/Sweere's Trucking/Happy Hut #53 Nova in third. Cornelius' Amanda Clarke would complete the finishing order in fourth driving for car owners Marcie Treat and Rod Lowe, Barebones Racing/DVC Machine/Dave's Automotive/Transaction Transmissions #02X Camaro.
Sandy's Roger Hubbard would put on a dominating performance in the Street Stock main event. Hubbard, driving the Hubbard Painting and Sealcoating/Dailey Trucking #18 Camaro, would lead every lap and pulled away from the field once the initial green flag came out. It would mark Hubbard's first career victory at Sunset Speedway Park.
John Ireland out of Banks would end his evening in second, driving the Ireland & Ireland at Law/Privateer Racing/Applebee Aviation/Transaction Transmissions #88 Camaro, while in third was the Wilburn Racing/Eastside Paving #36 Camaro of Portland native Jody Tanner. Forest Grove's Tony Catalano finished fourth driving his Meyers Auto Body/DVC Machine #19 Monte Carlo followed by the Sweere's Auto Body/Sweere's Trucking/Tire Factory of McMinnville #37 Camaro of Freya Smith from McMinnville.
The Dwarf Car main event would see another thriller. Chris McCleary of St. Helens, in the PSP Powdercoating/FinishLine Technology/Shake and Bake Racing #3, led a good portion of the early goings until he would lose the lead on lap twelve. The Wright Shop/Hicks Family Racing/B-Rad Motorsports #78 Philpott of Creswell's Kevin Hicks would get to the front and blazed the trail until he was passed on lap fifteen. Portland hot shoe Ryan Martinez was the driver to make the winning move as he would stay in the top position the rest of the way to win and put his Auto Truck Wholesale/Van Raden Industries/St. John's Tire Factory #9 M&M in victory lane for the second time at Sunset.
Richard Petty of St. Helens would come across the line in second in the PSP Powdercoating/FinishLine Technology/Shake and Bake Racing #8 M&M while Kevin Hicks was third. The Blueline Transportation #777 Hot Rod of Dennis Liebig from St. Helens was fourth and Brad Hicks of Creswell, driving his The Wright Shop/Hicks Family Racing/B-Rad Motorsports #77 B-Rad, would place fifth.
In the Northwest Extreme Modifieds Brandon Potter would pace the field for the first ten laps. The St. Helens driver in his Hope House/Ry Ki Roofing and Sheetmetal/ Kaptain's Kraft Custom T-Shirts #11 Pro, of Potter, would lose the top spot on lap eleven. The driver to make the pass would be Randy O'Connor from Aloha in his Prime-X Contracting #38 entry. O'Connor would stay out in front to win his first career main event at SSP.
Brandon Potter would be the runner-up while behind him in third was Oscar Luckman of Hillsboro in the Privateer Racing #96 Dirt Works by Jerry Hoffman. The Ruth Racing #11X machine of Scott Ruth was fourth while completing the finishing order would be Michael Melton out of Battle Ground, Washington in his Melton Racing #04 Dirt Works.
Last but not least was the Micro Sprints. Jeff Brodwell from Springfield would take care of business. He would lead the entire distance to put his Dorman Construction/X-Factor Race Cars #4B PMP in the winner's circle for the first time at the "Banks Bullring".
Jake Tupper of St. Helens was second in the Freight West Global/Fritts and Company/All Hazards Rescue #29T PMP while third would go to Nick Thornhill out of Lake Tapps, Washington in his P.G.H. Excavating #12T entry. Portland's Rich Speer was fourth in the Mad Max #90 Hyper.
Sunset Speedway Park will be in action on Saturday August 2nd for the annual Doug Walters Classic. Classes in action include the Northwest Extreme Late Model Series, IMCA Modifieds, Street Stocks, Pure Stocks, and 4-Bee's.
Pit Gates will open at 2:00 PM, Front Gates open at 3:30, and racing starts at 6:00. Tickets for the event are Adults $12.00, Seniors/Military/Juniors (13-17) $10.00, Youths (Ages 12-6) $5.00, and Children under the age of 5 are FREE and a Family Pass will be offered for two Adults and up to four Youths for just $35.00.

If the electric potential is 220V and some device needs 1500watts then how does it suck exactly that amount of electrical energy from outlet?
If it's a light bulb or heater, it's just a resistor.
First, forget that it's alternating current, just to simplify things. Think of the power source as a really big 220 volt battery.
If it's drawing 1500 watts, divide that by 220, and that will tell you the current I in Amperes. (That just measures how many electrons per second are flowing. An Ampere is about 6x10^23 electrons per second.)
To get the resistance R in Ohms, just divide the voltage V (220 volts) by the current I that you got above. (An Ohm is just the number of volts it takes to push one Ampere through the resistor.)
I hope you can see that the smaller the resistance is, the bigger the current is, and when you multiply that by the voltage, you get the power.
So the way you make a bigger heater or light bulb is by giving it less electrical resistance.
If you want to go back to alternating current (AC) the power is a time-average, and it swings up and down at twice the AC frequency. I'll let you figure out why, if you want.
It is not the most straightforward viewpoint to say that a device "needs 1500 watts". This is more a consequence than a condition. What happens is that you create an electric circuit by plugging in a device into the outlet. That circuit follows Ohm's law: $$V = I R$$ So for a given voltage and resistance a certain current $I$ will flow. The power is simply $$P = V I = V^{2}/R = I^2 R$$The device does not know anything, it just has a property, it's resistance $R$.
Probably easier to think of it in terms of pressure and 'pushing'
Electrical potential (volts) are an analogue of pressure - there is a certain amount of electrical pressure trying to push current through the circuit. The resistance is what impedes the flow of current. So a high power device, like a 3500W kettle, has a low resistance and so the 220V pressure can push a lot of current through it.
If you then take the same device to a country with wussy little 110V of electrical pressure then it will only be able to push half as much current through the same resistance and so only give 1/4 as much power. Which is why they generally don't use electrical kettles in north America.
Circuits in devices are designed to regulate their own power consumption: when they need more power they decrease their resistance, and when they need less they increase their resistance, often breaking the circuit open when they stop needing energy at all
The easy devices have been covered already. More complex devices, such as PCs use smart power supplies. These power supplies need to create low DC voltages (e.g. 12V) from the input voltage (110V or 220V AC).
A simplified model of such power supply has a small battery at 12V. This battery is continuously discharged to provide the device with the power it needs. The power supply checks the battery charge level, and when it drops too low the battery is quickly charged from the rectified (= AC turned into DC) input voltage. When the device draws more power, the power supply will recharge the battery more often. But if the battery is too small, the power supply can't keep up. Therefore power supplies for PC's come in different Watt ratings.

Finally: The L'Oreal H.I.P. Eye Shadow Duos
I'm drop-dead exhausted and have to get up in less than four hours, so unfortunately I'm not going to take the time to adequately review these right now. However, I told a few of you I was going to post these days ago, so I didn't want to hold off on posting the pictures any longer now that they've been at least cropped and labeled. I will update this entry with a review when I have a little more time and energy (hopefully tomorrow, but I don't want to make any promises...). In the meantime, if you see any shades that strike you as potential dupes, please leave a comment with your request (i.e., "the right side of Showy 224 looks like MAC Parrot - could you post a comparison swatch of these, please?" - this is one I'm planning to do, as I've heard they're similar...) and I will accommodate you to the best of my ability! Thanks for your patience:
To see the L'Oreal H.I.P. Metallic Eye Shadow Duos, click here.
Eye Shadow Duo: Adventurous, Brazen, Sassy, Spirited, Showy, Forgiving , Lively, Flashy, Riotous, Devious, Cheeky, Reckless, Charisma, Wicked, Flamboyant, Foxy, Saucy, Dynamic, Shady, Playful, Roaring, Flare, Bustling, Mischief, Rascal

OOH. pretty. do you own any of the metallic ones?ReplyDelete
also, i own the mischief duo, but in your picture, it looks SO pigmented. what base did you use? thanks!
by the way, this is chenchillaxchop on MUA. :D
Oh hi! Yes, this is quite literally ALL of the duos, metallic ones and all. I used UDPP :)ReplyDelete
wait...i might be blind, but which ones are the metallic ones?ReplyDelete
i have sculpted, and platinum. i'm guessing you don't have those? which are the other metallicy ones.
oh,and by the way, i'm in no way trying to be a b*tch, lol. just curious.
thanks for all your work, you have great swatches, and thanks for taking your time. :)
Hmmm not seeing gilded either. Now I have more to get. In your opinion which are the must haves and avoids?ReplyDelete
Oh, wow. Ariana and weener-d, you are correct, and I am embarrassed.ReplyDelete
None of the metallics are on there! I just looked on the L'Oreal website and apparently there are several more I simply don't have. I thought I had them all because I got all 25 they had at Rite Aid, and that was the biggest stock I'd ever seen, so I just assumed they carried them all... I'm a doofus.
With that said, I think I've seen some, if not all, of those metallic ones at Walgreens. I will try to pick them up one day soon and add to the list! So sorry about that.
weener-d, I will update this entry very soon to answer your question and more :)
Thanks, everyone!
Hey thanks much!! I'm impressed either way!!ReplyDelete
Awesome swatches! I have always wondered about these e/s and how pigmented they really are. They look great and I'm so thankful they have a bunch of neutrals too!ReplyDelete
I've just found this site today and want to commend you for all your really helpful information - this site is TOPS!!!ReplyDelete
Thank you, Capri! I appreciate your comments - feedback (positive or negative) is always welcome!ReplyDelete
WOW! THIS IS GREAT!!!! do you know if HIP eye shadow carries and blue and purple duos? I want to get silver blue and purple eyeshadow in one container but i cant find anything. Its drivin me insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ReplyDelete
I have the FORGIVING one and it's awesome!ReplyDelete
Where were you when I was at the drugstore? :) This is great. I want to add a few more of these duos to my complexion but I'm always spooked because I can't try before I buy. Now I feel like I've tried them and I've made my list. Thanks!ReplyDelete

Great swatches, thanks!!!ReplyDelete
All comments are welcome, but if you are here to spam your link, your comment will be deleted. Please be respectful. Thanks!

Big Changes in Psychiatry's 'Bible' of Disorders
Dec. 3, 2012 -- A major revision to the diagnostic "bible" -- which defines what is and what is not a mental illness -- has the final approval of the American Psychiatric Association (APA).
The approval means the final draft of the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM-5, will be official when it is published in May 2013.
Ten years in the making, the rewritten manual has been embroiled in controversy. One outspoken critic is Allen J. Frances, MD, chair of the task force that developed the previous edition, DSM-IV.
In a critique published online by Psychology Today, Frances calls the DSM-5 "deeply flawed," with "changes that seem clearly unsafe and scientifically unsound."
The APA defends the DSM-5 as the work of more than 1,500 experts in all fields of psychiatry and psychology from 39 countries.
"We have produced a manual that best represents the current science and will be useful to clinicians and the patients they serve," Dilip Jeste, MD, president of the APA, says in a news release.
Something called "psychotic risk syndrome," one of the most controversial proposed diagnoses, was dropped from the final draft. "Hypersexual disorder" (sex addiction) was also rejected, although the new manual opens the door to "behavioral addictions."

5 Reasons Modern Life Is Driving Manliness to Extinction
Among the many, many complaints old people have about the modern world, one of the most common is that there are no "real men" anymore. What happened to the rugged tough guys who spent their entire lives drinking, hunting moose and whistling at every pretty girl who passed by their construction site?
Well, science says there might be something to this one. Testosterone levels in America are dropping like there's no tomorrow. Why? Well ...
#5. Modern Life Deprives Men of the Sun (on Their Dick)
When we think of archetypical manly men, we think of people like John Wayne, or Ernest Hemingway, or even -- if we dare -- Teddy Roosevelt. Despite their vastly different professions and lifestyles, they all had one thing in common: They all enjoyed the rugged outdoorsy lifestyle. Come to think of it -- the occasional Don Draper notwithstanding -- pretty much all of the truly manly characters we can imagine seem to have a healthy boner for the great outdoors.
That's not just a coincidence.
"Man, it must be this fresh air or something, but ... I'm probably going to fuck this lunch."
It's all about the sun, the celestial body you may know better as that pesky bright thing that keeps shining on your monitor while you're trying to think up rebuttals to YouTube comments. Or rather, it's about vitamin D, which is largely provided to us by said sun. Vitamin D levels correlate with testosterone levels, so the more sun a guy gets, the more man-chemicals his body churns out. That's why everyone's horny during the sunniest months.
The thing is, these days most folks live in cities, or at least work indoors during the majority of the sunny time of day, so all that free vitamin D is left hammering our roofs in naked desperation.
Too ashamed to get a Viagra prescription? Try sitting pantsless under a sunroof.
However, speaking of naked ... there is a way for the modern man to load up on sun in the extra-speedy manner that suits today's hectic life. See, what really needs the sunlight the most is a man's dick. Skipping all that "modesty" and "pants" horse crap and exposing male genitals to direct sunlight is said to increase testosterone levels by a neat 200 percent.
Be warned, though -- there's only one study on this, from 1939, and we don't know that it wasn't just a huge prank. Still, what does a busy modern man in desperate need of that testosterone fix have to lose? Besides his pale complexion and status as a non-sex offender?
"Excuse me while I slip out of something more comfortable."
#4. Going on a Diet Can Have Nasty Hormonal Side Effects
If a guy wants to look like the manly, sexy dudes on magazine covers, he has to watch his diet -- nobody's ideal man needs a scooter to get around Walmart. So which diet does today's male pick in order to get down to, say, the size of a nice underwear model? He'd better pick carefully, because there's an excellent chance he'll kill his testosterone in the process.
For instance, you've probably heard that high-fiber diets are good for you. While that's all fine and dandy, what Wilford Brimley and other spokesmen for healthy eating often neglect to mention is this: If you're a guy, such diets are particularly good at turning you into a feminine, feminine man. Specifically, it can chop testosterone levels down a full 12 percent and put testicular and adrenal androgens through a wringer. Younger guys aren't any safer: Research indicates that those who consume a high-fiber/low-fat diet, such as vegetarians and hippies, are quick to find out that the lanky posture so often associated with the lifestyle is -- at least in part -- a direct hormonal result of their dinner table choices.
"Here, you can have mine, Dad. I've decided I don't want to be a pussy anymore."
Now, let's take this in the opposite direction. Let's say you have a deep hatred for carbohydrates stemming from your mom's tragic death in a freak wheat bran accident, and therefore choose to go the Atkins route. Wallowing elbow-deep in a pool of bacon may not be the most healthy thing to do in the long term, but at least it's delicious and, above all, manly. Or so you'd think! In reality, high-protein diets can mess up a guy's hormone levels even worse than their muesli counterpart.
"I'm gonna go man out and make some meat. Could you hand me my apron?"
The problem is that the male body needs all sorts of ingredients to cook up the chemical cocktails necessary to maintain an acceptable level of manliness, and neither high-fiber nor high-protein diets can provide them all. But if you're thinking that it's best for men to just abandon special diets altogether and eat what they want, well ...
#3. Failing to Go on a Diet Also Has Nasty Hormonal Side Effects
While we all know that being fat is bad for you, world-class love handles are hardly a life sentence of diabetes-sprinkled sissiness. Loads of lumberjacks, construction workers and other classic masculine types sport an impressive gut, yet come across as far manlier than the 110-pound Justin Bieber types. As long as a guy doesn't let himself go completely spherical, being a bit fat doesn't make him any less manly. Well, except for the part where said fat starts actively kicking him in the balls.
A recent study says that obesity has yet another item to add to its already impressive gift basket of ailments. It looks like excess lardassitude puts teenage boys at a severe risk of growing up inadequate in the trouser department. Excess fat appears to decrease testosterone levels by up to 50 percent, which is bad news, because said hormone plays every part in keeping men manly: It helps them build muscle and grow their man-parts, and supports both the interest in sex and the ability to have it.
And of course it's not just teenagers. Regardless of your age, the fatter you are, the higher your chances of having low testosterone levels. Given that a whopping one-third of the American male population falls into the obese category, this opens doors to some pretty worrying math: Imagine that each and every one of those guys is running on just half a tank of manliness fuel. That would mean that obesity alone has single-handedly destroyed nearly 17 percent of America's testosterone.
"I just feel sometimes like you only see me as an arm to take blood pressure from, you know?"
Man, diabetes doesn't sound half-bad anymore.

Consider use of the Payment Plan to meet the February 6 payment deadline.
If you are receiving aid from another campus, you are responsible for payment of fees at UW-Fox Valley. A consortium agreement will not cause your aid to be used to make payment of fees at this campus. You are responsible for making the payment.
Refund Policy
If you withdraw from this university or drop a course, your refund will be mailed to you, usually by the end of the semester. The amount of your refund will be based on the official date of your withdrawal or course drop. It will be calculated according to the following schedule for 12-16 week courses (shorter term courses have a different refund schedule; consult the Business Services Office):
January 26 through February 6: 100% minus a $50 withdrawal fee.
February 7 through February 20: 50%
After February 20: No refund
NOTE: Refunds for students receiving financial aid may be returned to the financial aid provider, not to the student.

Several of the regulations are covered in the following section.
If you are receiving aid from another campus, you are responsible for payment of fees at UW-Fox Valley. A consortium agreement will not cause your aid to be used to make payment of fees at this campus. You are responsible for making the payment.
Academic Misconduct
Academic honesty and integrity is expected of all students enrolled at UWFox. You have the obligation to conduct your academic work according to University standards.
You have the right to expect that you will be graded fairly, and have the right of due process should you be accused of misconduct. It is your responsibility to become familiar with the rules of academic misconduct according to UW Administrative Code, Chapter 14. Detailed information pertaining to academic misconduct and other student rights and regulations is available on the campus web page.
Adding Courses
Students may add courses by using on-line enrollment (PRISM) during the first two weeks of a semester, the first week of an eight-week course, and during a proportionate time for shorter courses. Adds are not allowed for on-line classes once on-line registration closes. Once the semester begins, permission from the instructor will be required to add a class. The date the add is processed in PRISM is the effective date for official records and billing. Adds after the dates listed below must be presented to the Student Affairs Office.
The last day to add courses is:
- Fall 2014 Semester: September 5, 2014
- Spring 2015 Semester: February 6, 2015
Dropping Courses
Students may drop one or more courses by using the online enrollment (PRISM) during the first 10 weeks of a semester without incurring a failing grade. A grade of "W" (Withdrawn) is recorded for courses officially dropped after the second week of classes. Students who do not meet the prerequisite for a course may be administratively dropped from that course. Courses that do not meet the full semester will have a different drop date. Check with Student Affairs regarding earlier drop dates.
The last day to drop a class with a W grade is:
- Fall 2014 Semester: November 10, 2014
- Spring 2015 Semester: April 10, 2015
No Show Policy-Dropping for Non-appearance
Students who do not appear for the first session of each class for which they are registered will be dropped from the roster unless they have given prior notice to the instructor. It is the responsibility of the student to drop or withdraw from a course to insure proper processing of records. Withdrawal as a result of non-appearance will result in assessment of a $100 withdrawal fee.
Auditing Courses
A student may change from audit to credit in a course during the first two weeks of a semester or change from credit to audit status during the first 10 weeks of a semester. Some courses cannot be taken on an audit basis. Check with the Student Affairs Office.
Repeating Courses
Students may repeat courses to improve grade point average or to improve their foundations before taking succeeding courses in a discipline. Repeated classes will be flagged in PRISM.
Withdrawal is the term used to describe the termination of registration in all courses for the semester. Simply not attending classes does not constitute a withdrawal, excluding no show for the first class meeting. Withdrawal is permitted within the first 10 weeks of classes of the semester (or within a shorter period for sessions less than 16 weeks). Withdrawal after June 30 for fall semester and November 30 for spring semester will result in assessment of a $100 withdrawal fee. Withdrawal after those periods requires partial or full payment of tuition (see Fee Information for details).
Students wishing to withdraw from all courses may complete this transaction through their PRISM account. Some students may be required to meet with an advisor prior to withdrawal. Any student who does not officially withdraw will receive a grade of "F" in every course in which the student is enrolled.
Withdrawal during a semester may result in loss of eligibility as outlined in the section of the UW Colleges catalog. Contact the Student Affairs Office for further information about withdrawing. The last date to withdraw from the university is same as the drop dates above.
Anyone who desires a university education will be considered for admission to the University of Wisconsin-Fox Valley. All prospective students must complete an electronic application for admission. A $44 application fee is required of new freshmen and transfer students.
How to Apply for admission
Applicants must complete the online admissions application. The online admissions application can be found on the web page www.apply.wisconsin.edu. Additional information regarding admission requirements can be found on the campus website www.uwfox.uwc.edu.
Guaranteed Transfer Program
The University of Wisconsin System Guaranteed Transfer Program enables students to begin their education as a freshman at UWFox and be guaranteed admission to a UW System institution as a junior. After fulfilling certain credit and grade point requirements, students will transfer with the same rights and privileges as those who begin their education at the baccalaureate institution. The guarantee of admission applies to the institution and not to the specific major or program. For more information or to obtain the guaranteed transfer form, contact Student Affairs or visit www.uwc.edu/transfer/guarantee/. Enrollment in the program must be completed prior to earning 30 credits at UWFox.
Placement Testing
Placement tests are required in English and mathematics. The results are used to determine which classes are most appropriate, given the student's competency in those areas. Students who are identified as needing developmental course work due to placement test results must successfully complete the remedial course work prior to completing 30 credits.
The English and mathematics tests are each 90 minutes long. Students may register to take one only or both tests on pending the test date available. Students wishing to enroll in a language course beyond Semester I are required to take a language placement test for that particular language. To view test date and make a reservation to take a placement test visit our website at www.uwfox.uwc.edu/admreg/placement.html. Students are to arrive promptly and bring two No. 2 pencils. The use of a nongraphing calculator is allowed during the mathematics test.
See Your Advisor Before Registration!
All students with less than 30 credits (including current semester) must meet with an advisor prior to registering for classes. It is suggested that all students meet with an advisor. Students are further encouraged to develop a meaningful relationship with their advisor by discussing concerns and goals in selecting courses to meet requirements for their chosen major. Advisors are assigned based on the sub-plan (major). To determine who your advisor is, check your PRISM account. A listing of advisors with office numbers and e-mail addresses can also be found at www.uwfox.uwc.edu. If your advisor is in the Student Affairs Office, an appointment can be made by contacting the Student Affairs office at 832-2620. If your advisor is a faculty member or instructional academic staff, contact the professor by e-mail or during their posted office hours.
Every continuing student will be assigned a specific start time for registration. These registration times are assigned during early registration (see below) by the number of credits a student has completed. Check your PRISM account for your enrollment appointment (registration date and time). Once registered, a student wanting to withdraw must complete the withdrawal process as explained in this course schedule under the Academic Information Section.
Registration for new students
All students new to UWFox with less than 30 earned credits will be required to register for and attend a new student orientation and registration session called FOCUS (Fox Orientation Creates Understanding for Success). Detailed information regarding orientation sessions and registration and fees will be provided with admission materials.
Registration for continuing students
Students currently attending UWFox, or re-entering, may register for Fall 2013 Semester classes as follows:
Registration Dates for Fall 2014
April 11 Open Registration
Students currently attending UWFox, or re-entering, may register for Spring 2013 Semester classes as follows:
Registration Dates for Spring 2015
Early Registration for continuing students: November 2014
Registration: November 2014
Students should check their PRISM account for their registration date and time, which is the earliest time students can register.
Fees And Tuition
Registration for classes creates a financial liability. Upon registration for classes, you are considered financially committed to UWFox. This means if you want to withdraw from any or all of your classes you must officially withdraw via your PRISM account or by contacting Student Affairs or you will owe full tuition and fees (Students will not be withdrawn for not paying the balance of tuition owed). The balance of fees owed must be paid at the time of registration or before the end of the second week of classes. A $100 late payment fee will be assessed for failure to pay the balance by the due date, or failure to enroll in the payment plan (which requires a $200 down payment) by the due date, or failure to receive a financial aid deferment by the due date.
The tuition deposit is intended to verify and ensure your intent to take classes at UWFox. Students who enroll for classes and later decide to not attend the campus unnecessarily occupy limited class enrollment spaces to the detriment of other interested students. The tuition deposit requirement is in place at most UW campuses and has been effective in reducing the number of unfulfilled enrollments at these campuses. If you have any questions about the tuition deposit, please contact the business services office.
Fees for the 2014-2015 academic year were not determined at the time of publication. The schedule below is an estimate of what costs will be. The official fee schedule is expected to be available in mid-July.
The payment deadlines for classes meeting 12 or more weeks are: Fall Semester – September 15, 2014; Spring Semester – February 6, 2015. Classes meeting less than 12 weeks have a shorter period for fee payment. Consult with the Business Services Office for details. Non-resident fees are approximately three times the amount of resident fees. Questions about residence status should be referred to the Student Affairs Office before registration.
An invoice for semester tuition and fees will NOT be mailed to students. Students are strongly advised to make use of the PRISM on-line program to access and monitor information regarding tuition and account balances, financial aid, and payments.
Audit-only students must have the instructor's permission before registering. The fee schedule for audit courses is approximately 30% of fees for resident fees, and 50% of non-resident fees. Wisconsin residents age 60 or over may audit courses at no charge. If enrolled for both credit and audit courses, all credits will be assessed at the credit rate. The fee schedule for audit students is available from the Business Services Office.
Payment may be made with cash or check at the business services office, or by check through the mail. Payment may be made on-line through PRISM by web check ($0 service fee) or by credit card (Master Card and Discover cards accepted, 2.5% service fee). A payment plan is available to extend tuition payment over a period of time. Participation in the plan requires payment of an enrollment fee ($25), down payment of $200 by the payment deadline ($100 in addition to the $100 tuition deposit), and completion of an installment payment agreement. Signing of the agreement and payment of the enrollment fee are required only once, and allow continuing participation in the plan during your student career at UW-Fox Valley. The down payment (by the payment deadline) is required each semester you choose to participate in the payment plan.
If payment is not received by the payment due date, a late payment fee of $100 will be assessed and full tuition will be owed unless withdrawal is made by the student during a refund period. Students will not be withdrawn for not paying the balance of tuition owed by the payment due date.
Financial Aid
Financial aid information is available in Student Affairs. Students should check the UW Colleges catalog for complete descriptions of student financial aid policies and regulations.
Generally, a student must be registered for a minimum of 6 credits to be eligible for financial aid. Students who apply or are classified as Special Students by the university are not eligible to receive federal or state financial aid funds. Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress to be eligible to receive financial aid.
Information about financial aid programs and application is available through the Student Affairs office.
If you are receiving financial assistance (including federal and state financial aid, scholarships, veteran's administration support, or from other sources), you are responsible for the timely payment of your fees including the $100 tuition deposit, and full payment of fees each semester. Note that delivery of financial aid will begin approximately two weeks into the semester.
Financial aid awards will be based on the number of credits in which you are enrolled on September 15, 2014 for the fall semester and February 6, 2015 for the spring semester.
If you are not able to pay your fees on or before the end of the second week of classes, you may be eligible for a fee deferment if you have a complete financial aid file. You must apply for and receive a fee deferment at the Student Affairs Office before the end of the second week of classes. At the time of disbursement of your financial aid, the amount of fees owed to the university will be deducted from the aid you are to receive. Aid cannot be delivered to you until after your fees are paid. Any balance will be mailed to your home address.
Withdrawal: If you decide not to attend any classes for a semester, you are still responsible for the amount of your fees due based on the date you officially withdraw from the university. You may withdraw from your classes via your PRISM account, or withdrawal forms are available at the Student Affairs Office. The withdrawal date in PRISM, or the date the office receives the form is the official date of withdrawal. If you withdraw by mail, the post-mark date is the official date. Withdrawal is subject to a withdrawal fee of $100, or payment of all or part of your tuition and fees. Financial aid recipients who withdraw from classes may need to repay all or portions of the aid received and/or forfeit their financial aid eligibility.
Refund Policy
If a student withdraws from the university or drops a course, the amount of a fee refund will be prorated based on the official date of withdrawal or course drop and financial aid status. If eligible for a refund, the refund will be mailed, usually before the end of the semester. Listed below is the refund schedule. Refunds for students receiving financial aid may be returned to the financial provider, not the student.
Refund Schedule for Withdrawals or Course Drops Class Length Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Thereafter
|Class Length

|Week 2
|Week 3
|Week 4
|12 weeks and over
|8 through 11 weeks
|5 through 7 weeks
Please contact the Business Services Office with any questions about fees or financial deadlines.
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
Federal regulations require all institutions to establish academic standards that ensure students are progressing toward the completion of a degree. Students who receive financial aid are required to meet the UW Colleges SAP standards. To remain eligible to receive financial aid, students are required to meet the following three conditions:
- Maintain a minimum cum. GPA of 2.0 after completing 48 or more credits. (There is a graduated scale for less than 48 cr.)
- Successfully complete two-thirds of the total or cumulative credits attempted.

New dual language programs are opened each year. You can search for established and new dual language programs on the websites of Inside Schools or the NYC Department of Education.
An additional resource for families interested in French enrichment and bi-lingual school programs is Education Française à New York (EFNY) , a non-profit organization that keeps track of efforts to bring French language programs to schools and after-school programs in New York City.
Every Dual Language program has its own established criteria to enroll students in their program. Most programs do some type of screening to be sure that a dual language program will be an appropriate fit for your child. They may even interview the parents to make sure they understand the program's curriculum and philosophy. Please contact each Dual Language program to find out how to apply.
Remember: You are only guaranteed a seat in your zoned public school so it is important to visit the school to understand its strengths and challenges, learn how parents are engaged in the school, *and* apply during the stated time period.

Pizza, Pizza, Pizza
The amount of pizza we American's consume per year is equivalent to 100 football fields –visually speaking that is about 100 acres!
Obviously pizza is not a healthful meal in most cases but we don't care because it tastes so darn good. But there are the nutritional consequences. For example, one personal cheese pizza from Pizza Hut has 463 calories, 38 grams of fat and 14 grams are saturated. So what can pizza lovers do? They can get savvy on their outdoor grills and make insanely delish personal pizzas!!
Smart pizza topping swaps:
Go with chicken apple sausage which has half the fat as spicy Italian sausage.
Kalamata olives have half the sodium as anchovies.
Tomato based sauce has 8 grams less saturated fat than a creamy pizza sauce.
Spanish chorizo has less fat and sodium than pepperoni.
Not sure how to grill a pizza?

I understand the purpose of an ante: it stops people from constantly folding until they get perfect cards. But what's the point of having different players bet different forced bet amounts? It just seems "unfair" without adding anything to the gameplay.
There is nothing "unfair" when it comes to the blinds, because the blinds "go over" all the players at the table in a Round Robin method.
The blinds have some purposes, the most important of which are:
EDIT: this part is added as a response to your comment.
Ante is a very aggressive way of force players to commit chips. ANTE is as used as long as the tournaments continues. usually, an ante is not used in cash games. To make things a little bit clearer - there are some games (like 7 stud, 7 stud hi-low, razz ) that ANTE is part of the initial payments.
regarding the third point: players perform sometimes unexpected moves like big raises or All-in. those moves are sometimes used as a tool to cause all other players to fold their hands. By doing so, they earn the pot.
regarding the forth point - buy-in is usually for tournaments. For cash game we have the size of the blinds to tell us if we can afford ourselves to participate in the table.
The sole purpose of antes and blinds is to give every hand equity.
That is short and curt, but consider if a poker game has no ante or blind no hand has any real expectation. Without consideration of anything but optimal play what would be the optimal strategy in a game without blinds or antes? What hand would motivate one to put any money at risk in a pot unless there was already equity in the pot? Poker is not a card game, it is a betting game, and cards are simply the most popular way we play poker. Blinds and antes define the scope of the betting. Technically, no matter what the medium, you don't have a poker game until you have a pot, blinds and antes are the start of the pot making whatever you do afterwards, poker.

If "no" means "no", and if "se" means "is", why does "no sé" mean "I don't know"?
This has been a bit of stumbling block for me as I learn the language. I as learn how to learn, I like to know the literal and the why, and I can't get my brain around why "no se" means what it does.

Harvard Outsmarts Harvard
Harvard, the Ivy League basketball champion, sent millions of NCAA brackets to the shredder Thursday night by toppling New Mexico, 68-62, for its first-ever NCAA tournament win. And the one person on the planet uniquely qualified to see it coming failed to do so.
John Ezekowitz is an expert in the field of upsetology. The mathematical model he built predicts the most likely upsets in March Madness games featuring teams seeded between No. 11 and No. 14. The system is so sharp he posted a 6-0 record with his 2011 and 2012 picks, which were published in the Journal. When he's not poring over college basketball numbers, he consults on analytical work for the NBA's Phoenix Suns.
This year, however, Ezekowitz was presented with a sticky situation. One of those low seeds he studies was Harvard—the school he's currently enrolled in.
Harvard fans don't come any more devoted than Ezekowitz. He has attended 53 Harvard basketball games in four years and flew to Salt Lake City this week on spring break to see his team try to win its first-ever NCAA tournament game.
Unfortunately, the two foundations of Ezekowitz's upset model are turnover and rebounding rates, and Harvard is thoroughly mediocre in both. So when he ran the numbers, his beloved No. 14 seed's chances of beating the No. 3 came in at just 4.6%.
In a blog post published before the game, Ezekowitz did offer a nod in his team's direction. He cautioned that his system "underrates moderately low probability outcomes," and that the Crimson "likely have a far greater chance than 4.6% of pulling the upset."
He also went so far as to call the Harvard upset in a bracket pool with his high-school friends. "It was a sentimental pick," he said. "I felt like I had to go with them."
Still, as the former president of the Harvard College Sports Analysis Collective, a club consisting of the school's biggest sports statistics wonks, he felt compelled to stick with his methodology. He decided to leave Harvard off his official list of upsets.
Missing this pick was perfectly forgivable for most people. Of the eight million brackets entered in an ESPN contest, only 5.6% had Harvard winning. Las Vegas set the point spread at 10 in New Mexico's favor and even basketball stats legend Ken Pomeroy published this week the results of a formula that gave Harvard a mere 16.7% chance of beating New Mexico.
What tripped up Ezekowitz's system was Harvard drilling eight of 18 three-point attempts. That wasn't totally surprising: Harvard hits 40.3% of its threes, which ranks seventh in the country. At the same time, opponents shoot 34.6% from deep against New Mexico, which puts the Lobos No. 212 of the 347 Division-I teams in defending them. In other words, Harvard is really good at shooting three-pointers, and New Mexico is pretty lousy at stopping them.
The problem was that three-point shooting efficiency hasn't historically correlated to the thing Ezekowitz is trying to measure: unlikely success in the NCAA tournament. "It has never been significant," he said.
As much of a gut-punch as it might have been for a statistician to miss such a big story—right in his own backyard—Ezekowitz says he has "no sense whatsoever" of regret about whiffing on his school's big win.
Ezekowitz also publishes a "survival analysis" method that put Harvard's win probability Thursday at 21.4%. As for Harvard's shot of advancing Saturday against Arizona, this system that Ezekowitz uses for the rest of the tournament gives the Crimson a 28% chance—which, to any statistician, foretells a loss.
"As a fan," he said, "I'm predicting a Harvard win."

Beat me by a few seconds. Great price.
@zapp brannigan: i hate when that happens. but, glad they gave this price again. i missed out the last time.
nice, missed out on the last one at Target. In for one. This is a steal at this price.
man, this and the Bourne trilogy on sale at the same time! Decisions, decisions...
Awesome, I missed out when it was at Target.
note: this deal is still alive.
on the right side of the page, under "More buying choices", it still lists the 22.49 price. no idea why it's over there.
Still worked today!!!

Suppose I have a self-adjoint operator $\mathbf{L}$ which I seperate in two parts which are themselves self-adjoint. I write this in terms of their eigenvalues/eigenvectors:
$\mathbf{v} \Lambda \mathbf{v}^T = \mathbf{v}_1 \Lambda_1 \mathbf{v}^T_1 + \mathbf{v}_2 \Lambda_2 \mathbf{v}^T_2$
The two parts can also be written as
$\mathbf{v}_1 \Lambda_1 \mathbf{v}^T_1= DK_1D^T$
$\mathbf{v}_2 \Lambda_2 \mathbf{v}^T_2= DK_2D^T$
with $K_1$ and $K_2$ both symmetric, $D$ is skew-symmetric. Suppose $K_{1,2}$ are formed by the vector products $\mathbf{b}\mathbf{b}^T$ and $\mathbf{b_\bot}\mathbf{b}^T_\bot$ respectively.
How do I connect the eigenvectors $\mathbf{v_1}$ to $\mathbf{v_2}$? My guess is that $\mathbf{v_1}(i)^T\mathbf{v_2}(i)=0, \quad \forall\\, i$, but I don't know how to proof it.
K1,2 are formed by the vector products bbT and b⊥bT⊥ respectively and b and b⊥ are perpendicular to each other. 1) No, they can be written as such, no need for proof there.
So $D\textbf{b}\textbf{b}^TD^T$ has eigenvectors unrelated to the eigenvectors of $D \textbf{b}\bot \textbf{b}^T_\bot D^T$ ?

Adding custom JS item to a panel (or any widget)
What is the best method to add a custom component (which has been pulled in using the resources in Architect).
You can't drag and drop it like you can with the visual items that are listed in the toolbox.
Perhaps there is a way to add your own items to the toolbox? (I am refering to the IFrame from the ext examples folder)
At the moment I'm listening for the added event and once the panel is added I'm then adding the iFrame.
var me = this; me.add({ itemId: 'iFramePage', id: 'iFramePage', items: [{ xtype: 'uxiframe', id: 'iframeItem', src : 'http://www.mysite.com/', height: '100%', width: '100%' } ] });
What is the lifecycle of the components?
Is there a prefered event to add items during there creation?
17 Oct 2013 7:31 AM #2
This is just me learning as I go...
I think it it now seems to be fairly obvious - unless you're new.
It would seem like the good place to add it would be in the initiComponent function. If working in Architect then you will need to generate an override to do this.
17 Oct 2013 8:00 AM #3
We've actually added exactly that feature for Architect 3.0 with User Extensions. You'll be able to write your own custom code and set it up to be dragged out from the toolbox just like you're suggesting! Architect 3.0 isn't out of beta yet, but it's not too far off (sorry, I can't give a specific date).
In the meantime, what you can do is follow the model of our Kiva example application. You'll see that some special code was written for the Kiva app that is a custom proxy, and then a regular proxy is dragged out and given the classAlias "kiva" so that it makes use of that custom code by being aliased to it.
The example is linked here:

Two YMCA athletes brought home seventh place finishes at the AAU Olympics competition in Missouri this year.
Janessa Leonard placed seventh in the long jump, also competing in shot put and the 400 meter race. Levi Saltsman placed seventh in the javelin. He also competed in shot put.
The competition, which was held at the end of July/beginning of August, wrapped up the track club's season, which begins competing in mid-April.
The youth qualified for the meet by being in the top 16 to go on to Regionals, from which they qualified for Nationals. El Dorado had 16 youth qualify for Regionals and six who qualified for Nationals.
"They performed really well there," said Jameson Fay, YMCA head track coach.
Fay, who is on the track team at Butler Community College, just took over as head coach part way through this season, starting out as a volunteer coming to practices. When the head coach left to take another job, Fay stepped up as head coach.
At the AAU competition, the youth had to deal with not only the strong competition, but also the 100+ degree temperatures every day.
Others who competed at the AAU Olympics were Andrew Brown in javelin, and three members of the Pfeiffer family, David, Josiah and Julianna.
There were about 60 youth in each event, with thousands attending the AAU Olympics.
"For these kids to place as high as they did was phenomenal," Fay said.
Last year was the first year for the team at the Y and they only had two qualify that year.
This year, the team has a lot more kids participating, with the club being twice as big.
"It was amazing to see some of the improvement these kids made," Fay said of the kids throughout the season.
They practiced three nights a week as a team.
"The fact they all improved a lot was the most amazing," Fay said.
