Is there a saying like "Plum trees bloom most beautifully as they stand and overcome the cold severe winter."? It is a part of Japanese poem translated into English. It basically means a great achievement cannot be conveyed without overcoming great difficulties or sufferings; it is important to keep doing your best even in bad circumstances.

This question is too basic; it can be definitively and permanently answered by a single link to a standard internet reference source designed specifically to find that type of information.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Not so poetic, but we have No pain, no gain. Or, as the Irish poet W B Yeats wrote,
When the going gets tough, the tough get going - when a situation is difficult or dangerous, strong people work harder to resolve the problem.
It's not as colourful as the Japanese, but an alternative to "it is important to keep doing your best even in bad circumstances." is
It doesn't cover the magnitude of the suffering however
Although this is not a saying but I found it very close in the lyrics of Bette Midler's song, The Rose.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my Aspire 3820TG which comes with an Artheros AR9287. Somehow the Wireless performance is to put it mildly sub-optimal. I thought it might have something to do with the Txpower which is only at 13 dBm but unfortunately I'm unable to set it to a higher level. Any ideas how to increase the sending power or how to improve the performance in general?
Thanks a lot in advance

TIVERTON — A judge will be asked on Tuesday to decide what to do with Chad Bergeron, 38, who is awaiting trial on his third and fourth charge of violating a no-contact order issued by the court.
Bergeron was arrested at 3:50 a.m. on Friday following the report of a domestic disturbance.
He was charged with breaking and entering into a home, violating an existing no-contact order and refusing to relinquish a telephone to someone wishing to call the police.
That was just the start of his legal trouble.
Bergeron, police alleged, was already wanted for failing to appear in court on March 4 to answer the charges, filed on Jan. 21, of violating a no-contact order, domestic simple assault, disorderly conduct and obstructing a police officer.
Court records show that Bergeron was in the Adult Correctional Institution from Jan. 21 to Feb. 17, when he posted bail on the charges filed in January.
He was ordered held without bail when he was arraigned on Friday. A status conference is scheduled today in Newport District Court.
The charges against Bergeron include the felony of breaking and entering, so they must be prosecuted in Superior Court.
If Bergeron is not indicted by the Attorney General before May 22, a hearing will be held in District Court to determine if there is sufficient evidence to continue prosecution of the case.
Bergeron was referred to the Office of the Public Defender, which can file an appeal requesting bail so Bergeron can be freed while awaiting trial.

View Poll Results: Would you buy a Sencha Eclipse Plugin license if it were a stand alone product?

Plan for a stand alone Sencha Eclipse Plugin?
If you really think about it, the eclipse plugin is just a way for developers to more quickly discover and use the extjs framework.
I can still figure it all out by using the very clean online API documentation but having context sensitive code complete allows me to easily experiment and adopt the framework at a faster pace.
Since many of us are in the same boat where we could convince our boss to instantly buy a license for just the eclipse plugin but never convince them to buy a huge package license has anyone come up with an online petition to offer a stand alone license for this tool?
How many other people are like me who love the framework and will continue to try and learn it (slowly) while hoping for a stand-alone offering I can afford?
I can't be the only one to not even install the 30 day trial for fear of liking it too much...
The bottom line is that I believe Sencha will make more money instantly and exponentially due to the lower learning curve and quicker adoption rate of the framework simply by offering the eclipse plugin as a stand alone product.
Certainly Sencha wants and deserves to increase their adoption rate and make money faster so how many signatures are needed to show them this is the case?

I don't use Eclipse, but would be interested in seeing how well the plugin works.
Will not try it whilst it's tied to the Complete package though.Product Architect

Exactly, I would just like to try it out but don't see the point knowing that I won't be able to afford a large package of other stuff I don't need at the moment.

What is the best way to allow a user to increase the number of results shown. E.g. (Display 15 25 50 100)
It would be used on a system were the potential results could be anywhere from 15-300+.
I'm questioning if it's better to offer this, or attempt to find a balance that just displays a reasonable amount of data and then paginates after this.

Is there any way to determine the orbital velocity of a point around another stationary point, if I don't know the mass of either of the points but know the force that gravity exerts and the distance between them. I'd like to know at what velocity I should push the non-stationary point perpendicular to the stationary point, so that it will maintain a circular orbit.
It sounds and looks like a school problem. If the orbit is circular, write the expression of the acceleration (normal component only, assume v=cte). a=V^2/R Then use Newton's 2nd law: f=m*a and ....work out the answer

NEW YORK (CNN Money) -- Federal regulators announced an $8.5 billion settlement on Monday involving 10 banks over alleged foreclosure abuses.
The deal, brokered by the Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, includes $3.3 billion in direct payments to borrowers as well as $5.2 billion in other assistance, like loan modifications and forgiveness of deficiency judgments.
The firms involved in Monday's agreement are Aurora, Bank of America, Citibank, JPMorgan Chase, MetLife Bank, PNC (PNC, Fortune 500), Sovereign, SunTrust (STI, Fortune 500), U.S. Bank, and Wells Fargo.
The deal is distinct from the $26 billion foreclosure settlement announced last year. That settlement was negotiated by state attorneys general along with the Justice Department and other federal agencies, and involved only five major banks: Wells Fargo (WFC, Fortune 500), Citi (C, Fortune 500), Bank of America (BAC, Fortune 500), JPMorgan (JPM, Fortune 500) and Ally Financial, formerly GMAC.
The settlement announced Monday arose from a 2011 enforcement action by the Federal Reserve and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency against 14 banks. The action required the banks to hire independent consultants to investigate alleged foreclosure abuses and compensate victims.
But this process, known as the Independent Foreclosure Review, has proven expensive and slow-going.
Federal officials extended the deadline for borrowers to apply to have their cases reviewed last year, but as of December 31, just 495,000 of the estimated 4.4 million eligible had done so, according to the OCC.
Related: Hedge funds win big with subprime mortgages
Reviews at the 10 banks involved in Monday's deal will now conclude as a result of the settlement. Regulators said the process will be replaced "with a broader framework allowing eligible borrowers to receive compensation significantly more quickly."
"When we began the Independent Foreclosure Review, the OCC pledged to fix what was broken, identify who was harmed, and compensate them for that injury," Thomas Curry, the comptroller of the currency, said in a statement. "While today's announcement represents a significant change in direction, it meets those original objectives by ensuring that consumers are the ones who will benefit, and that they will benefit more quickly and in a more direct manner."
Wells Fargo spokesman Tom Goyda said in an email that the bank was "pleased that the regulators and [mortgage] servicers came together to reach this settlement, which will bring resolution to more customers in an expedited manner." The other firms involved in the deal expressed similar sentiments.
As for the four other banks ordered to take part in the Independent Foreclosure Review that weren't party to Monday's settlement, regulators said they are working "to reach similar agreements." Those firms are Ally, OneWest, EverBank and HSBC (HBC).
An HSBC spokesman said the bank "remains in discussions on this matter," while a spokeswoman for ResCap, the now-bankrupt mortgage subsidiary of Ally Financial, said a settlement proposal from the government "requires additional time" for review. EverBank declined to comment, while OneWest did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Roughly 3.8 million borrowers whose homes were in foreclosure in 2009 and 2010 will receive cash compensation under the settlement, with payments ranging from a few hundred dollars to potentially as much as $125,000 in a small percentage of cases. Those eligible are expected to be contacted by the end of March, regulators said.
In addition, any struggling borrower whose mortgage is serviced by one of the 10 banks in the settlement is eligible to benefit from the $5.2 billion non-cash portion of the deal, for example through a loan modification.

Bordering on Heartless
Glenn Beck says he has come under fierce attack from some of his fellow conservatives for a grave transgression.
His crime? He announced plans to bring food, water, teddy bears, and soccer balls to at least some of the tens of thousands of Central American children who have crossed the border into the United States.
"Through no fault of their own, they are caught in political crossfire," Beck said. "Anyone, left or right, seeking political gain at the expense of these desperate, vulnerable, poor and suffering people are reprehensible."
Beck, not averse a certain grandiosity, let us know that "I've never taken a position more deadly to my career than this." But assume he's right -- and he may well be. It's one more sign of how the crisis at our border has brought out the very worst in our political system and a degree of plain nastiness that we should not be proud of as a nation.
Let's stipulate: This is a difficult problem. Unless the United States is willing to open its borders to all comers -- a goal of only the purest libertarians and a very few liberals -- we will face agonizing choices about whom to let in and whom to turn away.
Moreover, it's clearly true, as The Washington Post editorialized, that "there is nothing humanitarian in tacitly encouraging tens of thousands of children to risk their lives, often at the hands of cutthroat smugglers, to enter this country illegally."
But instead of dealing with this problem in a thoughtful way reflecting shared responsibility across party lines, President Obama's critics quickly turned to the business of -- if I may quote Beck -- seeking political gain. Last week, the only issue that seemed to matter was whether Obama visited the border.
It's not just partisan politics, either. It should bother religious people that politicians pay a lot of attention when conservative church leaders speak out against contraception and gay rights but hardly any when religious voices suggest that these children deserve empathy and care.
There are those in our clergy who could usefully consider whether they speak a lot louder when they're talking about sexuality than when they're preaching about love. Nonetheless, many religious leaders are condemning callousness toward these kids.
"The church cannot be silent," the Rev. Gabriel Salguero, president of the National Latino Evangelical Coalition, wrote in Time magazine, "as angry groups of people stoking the flames of fear yell at buses filled with helpless immigrant children and women."
And Sister Mary Ann Walsh, the media director for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, called for "a moral conscience moment" akin to the response during the civil rights era "in the welcoming of children and others escaping the violence in such countries as Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras."
It is said, and it's true, that the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act that swept through Congress and was signed by President George W. Bush in December 2008 has had the unintended consequence of encouraging the Central American children to head north. To protect victims of sex trafficking, the law guaranteed an immigration hearing to unaccompanied minors, except for those from Canada and Mexico.
As the bill was making its way through Congress, members of both parties could not stop congratulating themselves for their compassion. The bill, said Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, R-Neb., arose from "exemplary bipartisan cooperation" and showed how big-hearted we are.
"Together, let us end the nightmare of human trafficking," he declared, "and lead the world to see, in the poignant words of Alexis de Tocqueville, that America is great because America is good."
Suddenly, although kids are still involved, we are far less interested in being "good" than in protecting our borders.
All the pressure now is to change the Wilberforce Act so it would no longer apply to Central American children. There's a strong logic to this. The law does create a powerful incentive for unaccompanied minors from Central America (which is not that much farther away than Mexico) to seek entry, en masse, to our country.
But there is another logic: that the anti-trafficking law really did embody a "good" instinct by holding that we should, as much as we can, treat immigrant children with special concern. Do we rush to repeal that commitment the moment it becomes inconvenient? Or should we first seek other ways to solve the problem? Yes, policymakers should be mindful of unintended consequences. But all of us should ponder the cost of politically convenient indifference.

It is so clear that even Glen Beck gets it. Christians, as a rule forget who is their neighbor. Despite the crystal clear teaching of Jesus. CFR the story of the Good Samaritan. This may be the clearest example of what the biblical "hardening of the heart" means. The statistics state that America is a country of churchgoers. Translate hypocrites. Ronald Reagan incited this with his self serving: "I endorse you." Since that time what was a healthy separation of church and state has devolved into Christian leaders becoming a band of hating brass symbols. Maybe the humanists can set a better example. For the first time humanists have won the right to be recognized with the same privileges that religious groups enjoy. Maybe they will show Christians how to be humanitarian.
And have our church leaders considered the fact that a great majority of these kids and their families are Catholic? For them to go to such hardships to flee the violence and crime so much a part of their home country, borders upon sainthood. Many also die along the way, giving their lives in martyrdom to a search for a safe place to be family, to not be raped and molested, to avoid being co-opted into a life of criminal activity just to survive. If Catholic Bishops and priests will not speak out now, when will they?
So Bill, Mike:
How many of these illegal immigrants will you be taking into your homes? About six each would be a great start. I really do admire your generosity and committment to Christian ideals! You both are wonderful examples for all of us. And keep us posted on your new arrivals.
In covering the sad plight of the immigrant children from Honduras, Guatamala, and El Salvador I have noticed that our media outlets almost always fail to point out that U.S. foreign policy over the last few decades had anything at all to do with the terrible mess that the majority of those peoples find themselves in today. Did not our policies help set up dictatorships with CIA-inspired coups? Did not our School of the Americas at Fort Bragg train top officers in those coups? Did not our aid back up the interests of the ruling elite rather than help the masses, all under the pretext of stopping Communism? Did our policies have nothing to do with the rape of the four nuns, the slaying of the six Jesuits together with their housekeeper and her daughter, and the assasination of Archbishop Romero, to name but a few? "Sow the wind, and reap the whilwind." I should think that we owe these immigrant children something more than our pity. When it comes to our pocketbooks I fear that we sometimes tend to forget the words inscribed on our Statue of Liberty. We take it for granted that countires llike Jordan will take care of refugees from Syria. I think it should be our turn to go and do likewise right now. It will cost us something.

Yes, we know: It is always our fault when anything bad happens in the world. But even if, your comments do nothing to alleviate the situation. Why not take a couple of these kids into your home. Now your talking. I wish you well.
Would you think it different that just taking a "walk" if it was a narco-gang saying to you "we will rape your sister and kill all your family if you don't join our gang?" As a parent I would be doing anything to help my child escape the chaos. And not necessarily to the United States. Immigration in surrounding countries is up 750% this year. This is a refugee crisis. Are we to turn our backs the way we did with Jewish refugees by refusing them visas and returning the passengers of the SS St. Louis to death camps in Europe?
You're so quick to throw out challenges- Take an illegal into your home. If you think it is such a contrived or faux problem how about spending a week without security guards in Honduras (may I suggest San Pedro Sula) in spite of the following US State Department travel warning:
"crime and violence are serious problems throughout the country, and the Government of Honduras lacks the resources to address these issues. Since 2010, Honduras has had the highest murder rate in the world. The Honduran Ministry of Security recorded a homicide rate of 75.6 per 100,000 people in 2013"? If you go you better ask Jesus to walk with you.
I find some of the posts here to be as incredible as I found a bunch of folks blocking busses of mothers and kids in Califonia. But hey. John, I don't know about your family history. Perhaps you are of native American decent. But my great grandfather and his big brother left Ireland in 1866 and sailed to Boston looking for a better life. When they entered the harbor, they threw all their blonging they weren't wearing overboard. they wanted to start a new life and they hoped a better one. Not to different from these kids. And oh yeah, he was 14. His big brother was 16. In a place where "No Irish Need apply" was more than a slogan. But he, his children and his grandchildren and great grandchildren have served and built this nation along with others who likewise came here under similar circumstances.
I recently attended a funeral where the gospel reading was Matthew's version of the final Judgement. The contrast has always struck me, as it did this time, between those who think they are Christian because they obey rules, and what Matthew presents as the basis for the judgement. In that scene, Jesus sitting in judgement utters not a word about covetting your neighbor's wife or goods or keeping holy the Lord's Day. The saved are the those who "did for the least," including inviting in the stranger, I might add. James says something quite similar when he defines religion that is pure as entailing visiting the ophans and caring for widows. Heaven is going ot be an intersting experience if Glenn Beck has a better seat than some members of the hierachy. But then he actually followed the gospel...
Bob, your retort is not only disingenuous but it's based on a completely false premise - that the only solution open to the United States is for us to house these children. Of course there are many, many ways to help these kids and their families, not the least of which is letting those who have family in the US locate with them. I've watched in disbelief as American citizens rail against bus loads of these children; it is a heartbreaking and shameful turn of events in our nation's history.
In complete agreement with you, I suggest that this is a clear instance where the "church"--the hierarchy even more than the rest of us--needs to LEAD in caring for real children in real need. "They will know we are Christians by our love" is a cliche that, for once, could have an authentic ring to it--if the BISHOPS in particular would show the heart of Jesus to the world.
My grandparents arrived in the US from differnt parts of Ireland in the 1890s, early 1900s. Both were sponsored by Irish relatives already in the US and had to work for their sponsors as farm hand and house keeper for a designated period of time. More recently an Indian Catholic priest wanted to spend six months in the US to study the role of Indian priests in Catholic parishes. In order for him to obtain a visa I had to send a registered, notarized letter to the American Consulate guaranteeing that I would be responsible for his maintenance, including any medical expenses, while he was in the US. And today the US is being invaded by tens of thousands arriving illegally through what is laughingly called a border. The US is a nation of immigrants, legal immigrants sponsored by relatives,friends and even companies who arrived here with no expectaion that the government would provide food, shelter and medical care. In those early days Immigration po;ice patrolled the streets and were free to ask anyone for their papers. Failure to produce documents led to deportation on the first available vessel leaving New York or another port city. No doubt there were illegal entries but they were the exception not the rule.
E. Patrick Mosman:
The indigenous Americans would say that ALL the Europeans and their descendants are here illegally. Ever see the T-shirt "Columbus Didn't Discover America--He Invaded It"?

Naugatuck's aerial attack rolls over Wilby
NAUGATUCK — Senior Ryne Griesenauer couldn't hold back from jumping for joy after the Naugatuck High football team's victory Friday night.
Griesenauer and junior Bryan Coney each caught two touchdowns and junior quarterback Jason Bradley finished with five TD passes in a decisive 42-14 win over Wilby at Veterans Field.
"We're just having a lot of fun right now," said Griesenauer, who credits first-year Greyhounds' head coach Craig Bruno. "Coach tells us what to do and it's a pretty simple formula. We play hard, play with passion and if we do, we can do things like this."
The Greyhounds improved to 7-1 overall, 4-1 in the Copper Division, setting up a divisional showdown next Thursday with Holy Cross (6-2, 4-0 division) at Municipal Stadium.
Bruno knows the divisional race is still up for grabs with the Crusaders knocking off previously unbeaten Woodland Friday.
"We know what's at stake and we have to be ready," said Bruno, who was thrilled with the Greyhounds' performance of late.
Known for his passing attack during his 12-year tenure in the South-West Conference, Bruno put a lot of faith in Bradley and it is paying off well.
"Jason is really in control out there," said Bruno. "He's playing really good football."
And so are the Greyounds, who have won four in row since a 25-22 loss to Copper Division foe Woodland on Oct. 4.
Against the Wildcats, Bradley spread the ball around to Griesenauer, Coney, Kevin Robinson, Ricky Plasky and Tom Douty.
"We're getting better and better," said Bradley, who tossed for 286 yards. "We have so many offensive weapons and everyone is contributing."
After the Greyhounds stopped Wilby on a fourth-down play at the Naugatuck 25 on the opening possession of the game, it helped set the tone for the rest of the game.
Wilby held the ball for nearly seven minutes from the opening kickoff and had converted two previous fourth-down plays.
James San Angelo recovered two fumbles for the Greyhounds and Maleek Brooks intercepted a pass.
Kasseme Smith caught a 22-yard TD pass from Sharef Mahan for Wilby (4-4) and Malik Allen ran for a 44-yard TD. Smith intercepted a Bradley pass in the end zone in the first half with
Wilby played without two key injured starters, tailback Jacob Thomas and two-way tackle Gregory Thompson.

As the title says - why also use names and not just version numbers?
I guess reading this will answer your question
But they do use numbers for the distros 8.04, 9.04 ,10.04 ,11.04 ,12.04 ,12.10 etc .
The animal names are only used as development code names for the next release, if you look at all the Ubuntu marketing material (such as the web site) you'll notice it very rarely, if ever mentions the animal name of an Ubuntu release.

The registered dietitians of the The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania are pleased to introduce a new quarterly cancer and nutrition information newsletter written for Cancer Center patients and staff. It is filled with current and hopefully helpful information on nutrition and cancer. Each newsletter will spotlight nutrition tips for cancer treatment related side effects, supplement and herbal usetg, new food products, complementary and alternative therapies, as well as cancer fighting foods and recipes.
It is actually the "R.D." or registered dietitian that is the nutrition expert. The credential, "R.D." can only be used by practitioners who are currently authorized by the Commission on Dietetic Registration (a part of the American Dietetic Association). Individuals with this credential have completed specific academic and practicum requirements (including at least a four year degree), have passed a registration examination, and have maintained requirements for recertification. This is a legally protected title.
Some RDs refer to themselves as nutritionists as well as dietitians. However, the terms are not necessarily interchangeable. The definition and requirements for the term "nutritionist" vary from state to state. Some states have licensure laws that require nutritionists to be registered dietitians. Other states, like Pennsylvania, do not have licensure laws and therefore, even unqualified individuals can call themselves nutritionists. So...make sure your "nutritionist" is also a registered dietitian: your most reliable source for accurate nutrition information!
A common concern of cancer patients is nausea. This can be a side effect of chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, a consequence of the disease itself, or a response to medications, stress...Whatever the cause, nausea can prevent adequate intake of food and fluids. The following are some suggestions that may help reduce symptoms:
Shiitake, maitake, oyster and other wild mushrooms contain lentinan, which has been shown to have antitumor and immune boosting properties. Include them more often in salads, soups, or stir-frys.
Five white mushrooms supply nearly 25% of our daily need for riboflavin, the same amount as in an eight ounce glass of milk.
A single portabella mushroom cap provides almost half the riboflavin we need plus 25% of our daily need for niacin.
Mushrooms are also rich in potassium. In fact, five white mushrooms have as much potassium as a small banana or orange.
|Mushroom Medley
Serve as a side dish, on a salad, in an omelet, on a pizza or over pasta, grilled fish or chicken.
1 pound assorted. mushrooms (such as crimini, portabella, shiitake, oyster)
Makes about 2 cups.
Should I take ginger to reduce my nausea?
Ginger is a natural remedy for nausea. However, it is also an anti-coagulant and therefore should not be taken when platelets are low or with anticoagulant medications such as Coumadin.

I went to the fair Tuesday night to see the big horses. To anyone who even remotely likes horses, if you missed seeing the six horse hitches, you really missed a show.
To everyone who worked so hard on the fundraiser last winter and those who donated money to bring the draft horses back, I say thank you, thank you.
They were just spectacular.

Mall welcomes Boscov's
February 8, 2013
ST. CLAIRSVILLE - Ohio Valley Mall officials announced Thursday that a national retailer, Boscov's, will make its Ohio debut, filling the space that J.C. Penney's and Levin Furniture once occup....
I call this a Great!!! addition to the Ohio Valley Mall. Often when I am back in the Valley my wife will ask if there is a Boscov's there. I have found Boscov's to be an excellant store to shop in with a great selection of items with great prices. I shop in their stores in Salisbury, MD, and occasionally a couple in Delaware. These stores offer more items than any other single store that you will find at the mall or at Highlands. Again a great opportunity to turn the mall back to it's glory days.
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
EVERYONE in this valley knows that the one thing the mall needs is a food court, or more places to eat.How many places are there now? Three and a pretzel place? When we go to South Hills, the first place we head for is the food court, as i'm sure many of you others do too.Get more places in there to eat, and give them a break on the rent for the first yr.Thats why most of the stores are leaving now. I dont see Diab doing anything but walking around with his hand in his pocket,and hiring pretty girls to do NOTHING, but walk around, looking pretty, and collecting a nice paycheck.He needs to get rid of at least two of those girls, and concentrate on getting businesses in there.How many of you remember when there was a dairy queen in there? [ near Garfields]And an ice cream/soft yogurt shop[ by vitamin world]? And York steak house[ by Sears]? And of course Ponderosa. So what happened to those places? Economy was good back than, so that wasnt the problem..Maybe the RENT??

There are some questions similar to this. But i would like to know, what software one should choose, if you go to university for example and are building a knowlegde base of everything you learn & read for your whole coming scientific career?
I pretty much like Tiddlywiki, but alot of small open-source projects die after some years or hardware & software technology changes and the program data cannot be ported? Its a bit unsure.
Also Tiddlywiki is not best solution for knowledge bases getting pretty big, as everything is saved in a .html file. Proprietary knowledge programs like Evernote are imho not very future-proof. Wiki-like programs like TikiWiki need a server, but are probably the most future-proof programs for knowledge managment? How do companies deal with this problem?
Tiddlywiki can already be runned on a android smartphone with Firefox mobile. Solutions like Evernote afaik still have problems on mobile browsers or giving access of to all features of cloud-based service on smartphones
Should one use a software storing knowledge data in any case as XML entries, pictures as SVG?
Many questions and likely no easy answer, my main requirements would be future-proof, big database suited, mobile access via smartphone or tablet, hypertext links and tagging of nodes possible, input of mathematical formula/signs possible

Race Rules
1. To participate in the Cross-server Territory Race, a team is required to have at least 1 member. All the members should be in Ready state to start a combat.

a. The resource will not be delivered to you during the occupation. It accumulates every minute and will be sent when you leave the territory.
b. After the resource dries out, there is a 60-minute CD before the refreshment. During the CD, you can occupy the territory but get no resource.
3. Each team can occupy only 1 territory at the same time. You need to abandon the current territory if you want to occupy another one.

Anyone else having issues with @Dillyeo and the Wired magazine subs they've posted?
So, @Dillyeo has posted a few discounts for Wired magazine over the last few months. I bought 3 years on 9/13, and my order is still listed as 'processing' as of today (11/28). I've emailed them with no response, opened support tickets with no response, and called the number listed on their website only to find the voicemail box full.
Anyone else having issues with this promotion? I know magazine subs tend to take a while to get started up, but the order (apparently) hasn't even been sent to Wired yet. Dillyeo's lack of response doesn't help.
And since threads posted openly like this seem to get their attention, does Dillyeo have any response/update?
5 Answers answer
I ordered a wireless keyboard and mouse from them a couple years ago and I will never order from them again.
The day after I purchased it I saw it was marked as shipped. A week later it still hadn't arrived so I talked to customer service. They said it was shipped, so I waited another couple days. Still didn't receive it, so I called them and got the same response. Called them again a week later and they stuck to their story that it was shipped. A couple days later the order was magically updated with a tracking number and customer service never once bothered to tell me they had screwed up.
I did some web searching on them later and found numerous other complaints about dillyeo.
Hey Guys and Gals,
We apologize if you have had any issues with your order. The Magazines take up to 14 weeks for them to arrive and in some cases, even a couple weeks longer than that. We clearly state that in all of our magazine listings when we do sell them. Please refer to any correspondence that we have had with you and you will see that this was placed in BOLD print on the listing in order to eliminate any questions or concerns such as this. We are glad to help so please give us a call or we can assist you right in this forum. All Magazine orders have been submitted to the publisher and they have a process that they follow after that. This can take a while. If there are any other customers that received their magazines yet out there that read this, please participate in this forum. The magazine deals are some of the best online and we made sure to clearly advertise the time delay on the ad. This is customary with most magazine orders.
Best Regards,
@aldukeman: We apologize for your experience. Dillyeo has been under new management for the last 14 months and we are slowly trying to rebuild our reputation. One thing is a fact, we ship all of our orders just as quick as any other online retailer and in most cases -- faster. If you have any other issues or concerns, please let me know and I will be glad to assist you with them. Our phone number is listed directly on top of our home screen for all of our customers to call with their questions and that is something that is rare for online stores to do. We are available via telephone between the hours of 9 am and 5 pm Central Standard Time. Please have a wonderful Holiday Season as well.
Best Regards,
@dillyeo Thank you for your response.
I'm sure you can understand a customer's confusion when the original page listing the magazine (along with the supposed "BOLD print on the listing") is no longer available on your website. Your use of "processing" on the order page implies the order has not yet been "shipped to the publisher."
I'd be happy to reference "any correspondence [you] have had with [me]" regarding the disclaimer of a 14-week time to receiving my first magazine issue had there been any response to the two support tickets, two emails, and two phone calls I placed in the last two and a half months. (PS- check your voicemail. It's full.)
Again, thanks for your response. Though if you're truly trying to rebuild your reputation, perhaps answering your customers' questions when asked via your website would pay better dividends than waiting until they feel the need to ask you in a public forum.
Hey Guys/Gals,
We apologize for any delays. If you have any questions or issues with any delays, please give us a call and we can get you all squared away right on the phone. Please remember that magazines can take up to 14 and sometimes 16 weeks to arrive. The Holidays may add to the time as well. Thank you for shopping and for your patience.
Best Regards,
Brian W

Since 16th April, we all carry our rubbish collecting bags... Due to the fact we dive in some protected bays for courses, it results being in areas where rubbish gets washed in. Very soon we will get special bins and so we can calculate weekly how much we have collected all together :) A great example while on courses; students...

NSA Defends Itself After Privacy Breaches Revealed
The National Security Agency sought Friday to defend its operation of sensitive spy programs in the wake of revelations it had violated its own privacy rules on nearly 3,000 occasions.
The NSA's director of compliance, John DeLong, repeatedly said in a conference call with reporters that the 2,776 violations reflected no willful effort to violate Americans' privacy. "NSA has a zero-tolerance policy for willful misconduct," Mr. DeLong said. "None of the incidents that were in the document released were willful."
Mr. DeLong reported, however, "a couple" of willful violations in the past decade. He didn't provide details. "No one at NSA thinks a mistake is OK, but those kinds of reports are designed and generated to make sure we understand when mistakes occur," he said.
Mr. DeLong's comments were the NSA's most direct effort to date to counter mounting concern over its spy activities and their effect on Americans since former NSA contractor Edward Snowden began making classified documents public. The internal audit report on privacy violations was revealed by the Washington Post Thursday night.
That report analyzed the different types of violations of policy or law for the year ended March 2012. The bulk stemmed from issues where the NSA continued monitoring foreigners through their cellphone use after they crossed into the U.S.
"These incidents are largely unpreventable," the audit report said. The NSA said the surge in "roamer" incidents may be attributable to an increase in Chinese travel to visit friends in the U.S. for the Lunar New Year holiday.
The report also cited "significant incidents" of violations. One was a mishandling of telephone data housed in an NSA database, where the NSA found that more than 3,000 records had been retained past their five-year expiration date. Mr. DeLong said the call records were destroyed as soon as they were discovered and that they hadn't been accessible to analysts.
Another violation, according to the audit report, occurred when an individual remained under surveillance even after obtaining a green card, which would have required the NSA to obtain an individualized warrant to keep monitoring the person. Another violation was the improper granting of access to a sensitive database.
The Post reported a separate issue where phone data were collected on a "large number" of numbers in Washington, D.C., because the system was incorrectly set to the 202 area code instead of the 20 county code, which is Egypt.
Another document the Post made public offered a glimpse of a more serious constitutional violation by NSA, when it established a collection program for "Multiple Communications Transactions" that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court deemed "deficient on statutory and constitutional grounds."
Mr. DeLong said he couldn't describe the scope of that violation but said it wasn't willful. The collection later resumed under new court-approved procedures, he said.
In its article, the Washington Post said the audit hadn't been made available to Congress. Mr. DeLong said NSA provided this type of data to lawmakers and agencies with oversight responsibilities, but he said this particular report was for internal use. The results, he said, were incorporated into other reports provided to Congress.
At the White House, spokesman Josh Earnest emphasized that the violations didn't reflect willful law breaking and the detailed report shows the NSA is aggressively monitoring itself.
Lawmakers on the intelligence committees that oversee the programs said more should be done to probe the programs, but added they weren't aware of intentional violations of the law. The Senate Intelligence Committee "has never identified an instance in which the NSA has intentionally abused its authority to conduct surveillance for inappropriate purposes," said its chairman, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.), in a written statement.
Her House counterpart, Mike Rogers (R., Mich.), said his committee takes seriously all errors but they are "unfortunately inevitable in any organization and especially in a highly technical and complicated system like NSA."
However, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. C.A. "Dutch" Ruppersberger (D., Md.), called the reports of privacy violations "incredibly troubling." Mr. Ruppersberger, whose district includes the NSA, said he has instructed his staff to investigate, but so far they haven't found any intentional violations.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D., Vt.) said he worried officials weren't telling a full story. "I remain concerned that we are still not getting straightforward answers from the NSA," he said, vowing to hold a further hearing on the matter.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D., Calif.) said the audit report shows a need for Congress to improve its oversight of intelligence programs. The intelligence committee, he said, "suffers from a tremendous mismatch of resources compared to the agencies," which makes it reliant on agencies to report their own mistakes.
Sens. Ron Wyden (D., Ore.) and Mark Udall (D., Colo.), who have criticized the NSA's surveillance programs, called the privacy violations "just the tip of a larger iceberg."

I am a non-native speaker of English. When communicating with a professor, would it be better to use could you kindly send me the document or could you please send me the document? I know both are correct, but which one shows more respect?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer

Both are polite, and no reasonable professor would take objection to either. If you wanted to sound a little more formal, you could say I should be most grateful if you would send me the document.
I would prefer the word please in more formal communications. Kindly would be better-suited for familiar environments.
Also, I would use the word "would" instead of "could."
If your professor knows you're not a native English speaker, he should be happy with either of those. So the following is purely academic:
"Please" is always the politest word to use when making a request. It is never wrong.
To my British ears, the following phrases have a very slightly haranguing tone (as of a nagging mother):
Whereas "Please could you..." is straightforward, conventional, polite and ubiquitous.
I prefer using kindly rather than please. The latter sounds more like begging.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas - - The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service has launched a water education network as a one-stop online source on quality, conservation and management.
Associate director Pete Gibbs on Tuesday announced the site. Gibbs says agency officials felt it was crucial to develop easy access to water materials.
Texas is still recovering from a 2011 drought. Last week's U.S. Drought Monitor report found more than 98 percent of the state still in some level of abnormal dryness as spring arrived.
AgriLife officials say the information ranges from assistance for homes and city landscapes to data for agricultural and wildlife management.

Construction is continuing to progress on the intersection of Sixth Avenue and Main Street.
"It's going rather well," said Scott Rickard, assistant city engineer, earlier this week. "The weather is helping us."
The project has shifted to the west side of the intersection.
"We have gotten almost all of the storm sewer pipe in the ground now," Rickard said.
In addition the bases for the traffic signals have been poured and the conduit for the signals has been bored underneath.
Rickard said there was a lot of good concrete still in the intersection so they made repairs where it was needed, then just widened the other areas.
They are close to 50 working days on the project, with the contractor having 100 days scheduled, but Rickard said they are more than halfway through with the work.
The contractor will take the week of Christmas off.

I just installed Ubuntu 13.04 onto my Dell inspiron 1545. I've tried almost everything on askubuntu with no luck. My wifi network is not being detected at all and I cannot manually add it. Please help!
Probably you need proprietary drivers for Broadcom. Try connecting through a cable and see if it works. I had the same problem with a Dell. I suggest the following: Try to see if the wireless card works when you load ubuntu with livecd. For a strange reason I could connect with the liveCD but not after the installation. My problem was solved when I connected my laptop with a cable and then downloaded the proprietary drivers. Try both the "additional drivers" program and installing the appropriate drivers and by installing the package using synaptic.
Here How to Install Broadcom Wireless Drivers you can find more details about how to install the Broadcom drivers
Note: The program "additional drivers" is called that way in ubuntu 12.04. Here http://linuxg.net/how-to-install-additional-drivers-in-ubuntu-13-04-from-the-gui/ you can find how to add additional drivers in Ubuntu 13.04
The trouble is with Network Manager I like to use WICD because it is a simple and easy to use network manager. Its a very good alternative to network manager in Ubuntu and it seems to always work when Network Manager doesn't. To install it just open up the terminal. Now download the latest NetworkManager, in case you need to reinstall it if WICD doesn't work
Then to install it
And now you need to uninstall NetworkManager:
Now you can find WICD in your menu Start WICD, find the network you want to use and enter the information needed, password, encryption, etcetera and choose Automatically Connect to this network. You should be good to go!
WICD may also be available in Ubuntu Update Manager so you can look there first but it is important to uninstall Network Manager completely to prevent conflicts!!

If you highlighted the 4 strings of the Ukulele (default tuning) to notes on the piano, where would they come in relation to middle C?
The standard tuning of a Ukulele is a bit confusing because it is not strictly ascending.
This tuning is g4-c4-e4-a4, it means that the corresponding notes are G above middle C, middle C, E above middle C, A above middle C, from the string which is highest on the fretboard to the string which is closest to the ground.
It is easy to play it on the piano with the right hand and the fingering 1-2-4-5.
If you mount a thicker string for the G you can use the variant g3-c4-e4-a4 (the G one octave below) which is closer to the kind of tuning you have on a guitar (successive fourths). In this case the first string is G below middle C. It is more difficult to play the resulting piano chord with one hand.
Note that using different tunings on a ukulele for a given song is very frequent. On sheet-music there is usually a little diagram for the tuning in the form of a tablature.

The most clever witch of her class, she is best friends with Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, who are in the same year, in Gryffindor House. Hermione, though muggle-born, is an exceptional witch, earning the respect of the Hogwarts Professors and much of the student body. She is an adamant fighter for House Elf rights and began The Society for the Protection of Elfish Welfare. Notably, one of the most admired characters of the famous series, Hermione is very well near perfect. She's beautiful in an understated type of way, loyal, intelligent, powerful, and very hard working. Having had a "more than friendly" relationship with the renowned Bulgarian seeker, Victor Krum, in her fourth year, there is much speculation now that she will date Harry Potter. (Please see pumpkin pie)
" 'Bye, Harry!" said Hermione, and she did something she had never done before, and kissed him on the cheek.

Hermione is a muggle born witch. She is top of her class, also known as very smart, or brilliant. She also shows an amount of courage, as well as being in the gryffindor house at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizerdry. She is best friends with Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. She is also known to be bossy, but is overall a good friend. She is described in the book as having bushy brown hair, brown eyes, and rather large front teeth. In the movies she is played by the British actress Emma Watson. Emma does not have bushy hair, or large front teeth, but does an amazing job playing the part Hermione Granger.
Hermione again raised her hand in attempt to answer Snape's question on warewolves.

text: Here it is, the last character from the new Teen Titans Go. Here is "how to draw Cyborg", step by step. Cyborg is one of the more funnier characters because of his big dookie metal suit. All the characters from Go are smaller versions of their regular selves, but their personalities are the same. You are basically going to see a side of Cyborg, Raven, Starfire, Robin, and Beast Boy that you've never seen before. They will be comical, entertaining and even laid back. I had fun drawing Cyborg in his Teen Titans Go form, and so will you.

If I plan on visiting Paris, but not really the rest of France, is it still important for me to learn at least enough French to get by? Are people in Paris going to be willing to speak English if they know it, or is it more like they want to see you at least trying?
I never found the stereotypical rude Parisian I was warned about. Several people went far out of their way to help me in ways I wouldn't expect in my own city.
I did not find a great number of people outside the tourism industry in Paris that spoke English.
I did always use the French words and phrases I knew "excusez moi", "salut", "merci", and if I could struggle by with those I wouldn't even ask "parlez vous anglaise" I got the impression people appreciated that. Using single words goes far, French or English, if you can't form a sentence. If you manage to form a broken sentence people will often help out by correcting your mistakes! More people know more English vocabulary that you know French vocabulary but may not be able to make or parse English sentences.
Be patient. Smile a lot. Never act rude or arrogant. Don't talk loud when people don't understand.
When you get to your hotel or tourist information people will be able to speak English.
You would be surprised how many parisians speak English (and German btw). When I lived in Paris for two years, I volunteered to help in teaching English. Often I noticed that the level of English understanding was quite well. In my opinion, the stereotype of "parisian arrogance", should actually be called insecurity on their proficiency in English.
Like millions of other non-french speaking tourists, I think you can easily have a great time in Paris.
You can get by. Millions of Japanese do it every year. For an English speaker, French is one of the most similar. It is amazing how much communication can be accomplished without a common spoken language. For an English speaker, though, French is loaded with cognates. Out of respect and courtesy, do not assume that the French speak English. This is a good rule of thumb anywhere, but especially in France where English is viewed as a rival culture and language. The French are proud of their global cultural and linguistic influence. There is a unique sensitivity in France to English proliferation. This contrasts with much of northwestern Europe and Scandinavia, where people view English proficiency as sophisticated. Icelanders, Norwegians, Swedes, Finns, Danes, Dutch, and even Germans do not view English as a language and culture that competes with theirs. The French do. Most of the northwestern countries have populations smaller than NYC; their languages were never linguae francae as French was and remains. Flemish Belgians and Eastern Europeans see English as liberation from long-time domination by French, German and Russian respectively.
The French in my experience definitely respect good-faith efforts at French, particularly from Anglophones. The French are more reserved, icy and distant than Anglo-Saxons. As long as you respect someone's time, a polite "excuse me" then your question usually gets a helpful reaction even in London and esp Manhattan. Parisians will help, but not as eagerly, particularly when they're worried about a language barrier making helping an out-of-towner a drawn-out hassle. Respect their space and anonymity. Don't ask in a way that draws attention to the interaction. Respecting the anonymity-bubble is key.
I speak enough French to be able to read road signs, order food, and buy things. I can read almost anything and figure it out, given a little time. (I'm Canadian.) In Paris, the street vendors who are all around the Eiffel Tower accosted us every time we went by. Umbrellas, mini towers etc etc. "Non, merci" I said every time. They would melt away and leave me be. One particular time I was tired and accidentally said "no, thankyou" instead. Wow, what a difference! I got a continued aggressive sales pitch and was by no means left alone.
The first thing you need to know is that French education is standardized, meaning that a Parisian is not more (or less) likely to have studied English than people out in the "boondocks." (This is in contrast to most other countries, and comes as a surprise to most people. The second thing is that MOST French people know at least a little English.
Even so, it helps to know a few common expressions such as où est (where is).
As in où est le restaurant, où est le theatre, où est la pharmacie, etc. Note that the actual places in question are spelled similarly in French and English (although pronounced differently), meaning that a French person would understand you if you wrote them out.
But it helps to use the "où est" expression as an icebreaker. Similarly with common greetings: Bonjour (good day), bonsoir (good evening), monsieur (sir), and madame (madam). Plus s'il vous plait (please), and merci, thank you.
Knowing "not a lot" of French is a good bit better than knowing NONE at all.
Firstly I'd suggest you look an an earlier answer to a very similar question: How to overcome the language barrier when visiting France and Spain?
Thinking of Paris specifically, you should find a lot of people who do speak at least some English, generally higher than in more rural parts of France. However, you'll also come across a lot more people who've got fed up of tourists who've not bothered to learn a single word of French...
So, I'd suggest you follow the advice in this answer, and learn some basic French! With even a few words you should find things go much easier. Without that, you'll mostly be fine, but may experience some hostility once or twice.

I want to use my laptop to hold a cool party where there is 2 different sources of music. 1 for hip hop, and the other jazz. I would like to play the tracks simultaneously and have them outputted either on a head phone jack and USB or 2 USB outputs. So I would need the signals to not get overlapped, is this possible? Do I need special software?
migrated from avp.stackexchange.com Jan 25 '14 at 9:31
This question came from our site for engineers, producers, editors, and enthusiasts spanning the fields of video, and media creation.
You will have to get a second sound card. Most MP3 players allow you to choose the output device, so you'll need at least 2 output devices (i.e. sound cards) to do this from a PC. You can get an inexpensive USB one for about $10.
While imsky's answer is probably what you wanted, another option is to use the channels of your stereo output separately.
Have one VLC instance panned to the left playing one type of music, another instance panned to the right playing the other type of music and split the stereo into two mono outputs.
You can do this either with two sound cards and software to use each one (per imsky's answer) or with one sound card that has multiple stereo outputs.
If you take the one sound card route, you'll need software that can send your music (presumably MP3s or something like that) out to the disparate outputs. It sounds kind of like you're looking to DJ a party, and there are many programs that are designed for exactly this. The only one I have any experience with is Mixxx, which is free, but I found it initially confusing.

I installed Windows after installing Ubuntu. But Ubuntu is still intact in its partition.
I'm trying to run the Ubuntu LiveCD to recover grub, but the LiveCD no longer works. It stops the boot process and does not load completely.
I can not run Ubuntu in live mode to recover grub.
Is there any way to recover the grub/grub2 without the LiveCD?
[Important] I've downloaded a new Ubuntu 10.10 ISO. I also did the MD5 check. It's all right. Then, I recorded this .iso and still can not load the LiveCD to the end.

WEIRTON - Sanitation rates could be going up in the city.
Ward 4 Councilman George Ash said Monday he'll introduce legislation to increase rates unless the sanitation committee finds a private hauler willing to take on garbage collection services in the city.
The department has operated in the red for several years, requiring council to supplement its budget with money from its general fund.
"It's needed," he said after Monday's council meeting. "(The sanitation department) is supposed to be self-sustaining, we're not supposed to have to use general funds."
At a budget workshop two weeks ago city officials pointed out they'd had to channel $117,000 from the city's general fund into sanitation this fiscal year just to balance the department's budget. That's a situation they said could not continue, but they agreed to seek proposals from the private sector before considering a rate hike.
Ash made it clear he's ready for answers, not delays.
"We can't keep taking money from the general fund to pay for something" that should be self-sustaining, he said.
Council, meanwhile, passed on first reading an ordinance calling for pay raises for city police and unionized public works employees. The vote was unanimous, despite Ward 7 Councilman Terry Weigel's earlier concern that until they have final numbers on insurance costs for the new fiscal year, they can't really be sure the city will have the money to absorb the higher salaries.
"Throughout this process, I expressed my concern about (doing it) without knowing numbers for liability and health insurance," Weigel said prior to the vote. "I would prefer (acting) later ... but the numbers will not be available for at least another month, so I'm going to support the (raises). I appreciate the efforts of the bargaining team ... employees agreed to concessions, and in return the city is providing for pay raises."
Weigel said there's no question salaries have to be competitive with other communities and agencies. "The last time we gave the police test, only 12 people signed up," he said. "That occurred the same time Steubenville (was testing)."
Council also agreed to enter into contract for construction of a sidewalk from the old Red Rider Mart along South 11th Street to Heights Street. The project will be paid for with money from a Safe Routes to School grant, with no city funding required.
Ward 6 Councilman Dave Dalrymple said he'd been working on the project for "about three years."
"It's finally here in front of us tonight," he said. "A lot of people put a lot of hard work, time and effort into this. It's a really nice project for the city and my ward."
Dalrymple said the project gives kids who walk to school an alternative to walking in the street in a highly travelled area.
"I really think it's going to make it a lot safer," he said. "I've been watching the kids walk in the street and in the ditch for years."
In other business, council:
Passed first reading of an ordinance reducing the Human Rights Commission to seven members. It currently has 15, but attendance and vacancies have been a problem. City officials have said it's difficult to find people to fill vacancies.
Agreed by a 5-2 vote to a resolution amending residency requirements for city jobs to include several new phone exchanges, with Ash and Dalrymple casting the dissenting votes.
"I don't believe the charter allows us to do this, but that's my opinion," said Ash.
City Manager Valerie Means said the resolution "has to do with the location of the new exchanges" assigned to Weirton. "Your house has to be in one of these exchanges," she said, pointing out that employees still are barred from living in another incorporated area.
Approved first reading of installing signs restricting parking in front of Trinity Lutheran Church, 3432 West St., to handicapped vehicles on Sundays only, and painting a 40-foot yellow line on the north side of Powers Road beginning at the curb and ending at 129 Powers Road.
Council also signed off on third and final reading of an ordinance authorizing a bond issue of up to $6.3 million to finance sewage improvements, and also heard a first reading of resolutions regarding repayment of the funds as well as payment of invoices.
Utilities Director A.D. "Butch" Mastrantoni said the bond issue "is the largest single public works project we've done."

Finding something humourous within something that is inherently tragic, disturbing, and/or absurd.
This word came to be when a group of friends were hanging out at a bar and one of them mentioned that they'd recently read a statistic that reported how every time the Special Olympics are held, someone dies because they push themselves too hard. People immediately began to laugh at this but also questioned themselves for doing so because it's clearly a tragic thing. Yet it seemed funny somehow. Sadlarious.
