I often see the alphabet
W being transcribed or pronounced as "ダブル" rather than "ダブリュー" in Japanese, and I think that in most cases, that was not what was meant. Indeed, there seems to be a practice of abbreviating "ダブリュー" as
W, most often seen in a menu in a fast food restaurant, (whose meaning intentionally or unintentionally goes along with the origin of
W being "double 'U' "), but even out of that context, I observe it being transcribed/pronounced as "ダブル", and I don't know if people are doing it because of the origin of the alphabet character
W. Why do you think that happens?

I don't believe a definitive answer to your question is possible. That said, you asked what people think, so a couple of my own thoughts:
When reading out URLs (arguably now the most common use of
I don't know if you'll agree with this, but I find that the transliteration of borrow-words is very prone to change and evolution over time for convenience or what have you. The meaning "double" on fast food menus etc is probably the second most common use of
Alternatively, as you say, the English pronunciation of
I believe this may an example of what is called a volatile pronunciation.
Take a look at what is happening phonemically:
Using the description in Vance(2008) of long vowels:
Japanese vowel length distinctions don't have a very high functional load; at any given point in a conversation mistakenly pronouncing a long vowel as a short vowel or vice versa is very unlikely to result in something that a listener could interpret as a plausible alternative utterance.
And most relevant to the above alternation:
Word-final long vowels are conspicuously susceptible to shortening, although the explanation for this tendency isn't clear.
Vance gives two good examples of this:
These facts would explain the long vowel drop of ダブリュー but doesn't yet account for why the palatalization /j/ is also dropped in /ɾjuː/ → /ɾu/ since an alternation of the form /ɾjuː/ → /ɾju/ would not result in a phonotactic infringement.
I think one way to explain the /ɾjuː/ → /ɾju/ is by taking a risk and generalizing or extrapolating Vance's implicit suspicions above to stipulate that:
Which, taking these as assumptions, the admissibility of /ɾjuː/ → /ɾju/ might be predicated on:
I would love for someone to comment with more insight on what Vance might be alluding to. I suspect I just haven't read deep enough into Japanese phonology.

I love there store bought coconut flavoured yogurts. I usually make my own but i cant find any type of coconut aromas around (even synthetics). Is there some way to do some similar yogurts? I use powdered milk, whey and casein in my yogurts so the only missing ingredient is the aroma.
There are two choices when flavoring yogurt: while you are making it and after it is made. If you want to make a batch of yogurt and choose your flavors later you may enjoy adding coconut extract (or other extracts) after the fact. However, if you are set on a single flavor (as your question implies) you will get better results adding a flavoring oil, the chemistry of oils vs. alcohol seem to react differently. Check out the "Mr. Yogurt" link, he has done some experimenting that will help you along.
Use coconut milk powder. It is very fine and dissolves easy and tastes great, better than artificial essence. Also it is pure white and does not alter the texture or color. I found it in an Indian store, what a find. I also use it in coconut custard pies dissolved in regular milk instead of the canned coconut milk, and to change basic cake recipes into coconut cake.
Do you really need a synthetic flavour? If not, why don't you simply add grated coconut or coconut milk to your yoghurt?
I just made my first batch using the coconut flavoring from Spices Etc. https://www.spicesetc.com/product/Coconut-Flavoring/Natural-Flavorings
It is truly excellent. I used 1/2 TBSP in one quart of milk and it has great coconut flavor.
I recommend it.
You can make yogurt from coconut milk,I bet that tastes like coconut!

The Fort Knox employee who died after a shooting incident Wednesday has been identified as Lloyd R. Gibert.
Gibert, a 51-year-old Elizabethtown resident, was a human resources specialist with the U.S. Army Human Resources Command's Field Artillery Branch Officer Personnel Management Directorate on Fort Knox.
An employee of that command since January 2004, he also previously served in the U.S. Army as a human resources specialist.
A soldier charged in the fatal shooting of an Army civilian employee Wednesday at Fort Knox will be tried in a military court.
Marquinta Jacobs appeared in Federal court in Bowling Green this morning, a day after he was arrested in Portland, TN.
Jacobs sat silently as Judge Brent Brennenstuhl dismissed the criminal complaint without prejudice and then gave Jacobs the choice to be tried as a civilian or as a soldier.
After being advised by a federal attorney Jacobs chose to be tried in military court.
He was escorted back to Fort Knox where he will later stand trial.

I'm just trying to figure out how to see my kills and deaths for the current match I'm playing.
If you are playing slayer, you can see how many kills you have by holding the back button. Your kill count will be the number next to your score.
If you are not playing slayer, you cannot see your kill count.
In any mode, you cannot see how many deaths you have while the game is still going, but you can see both your kill and death counts in the score screen after the game.

Kingston 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) - HyperX 3K SH103S3/120G 2.5" for $69.99 + free shipping
10 Comments add a comment
again?! They really hook you with that "limited time" stuff. Anyways, got three of these last time (for myself and others). Installed them all and working great. I replaced a RAID 0 that was using spinning disks and getting much better speeds. Granted the RAID was software controlled by the moBo and not a physical RAID controller.
Just built a new system with one of these. Boot up in 15 seconds and on the internet.
This is a great drive. I added one to my Dell laptop as the boot drive and it is very fast and reliable. I'm waiting for the 256GB version to come down and will buy that for the second drive bay.
Makes you think that the last 2 weeks is just the beginning on SSD deals between now and Christmas.
I have a few other Kingston SSD drives and have had a great experience with them. Ordered this to replace my server's system drive.
I use this as my boot drive in my main PC. This thing is the bee's knees. Everything pops up super-fast. For example Photoshop CS4 used to take 20+ seconds to load on my 10,000 RPM Western Digital Raptor HDD (which was the "fast" drive of its days). With this Kingston, it comes up in 3 seconds.
I love it. And I paid $150 for it. At this price, it's a steal. And I may just be picking up a second one. Icing on the cake: 90% of its reviews are 4 and 5 star. A few lemons happen but I feel these are dependable (even moreso than HDDs).
Fantastic! A big FYI for anyone taking advantage of this deal - this drive includes a 3.5" adapter bracket, so no need to buy one separately if you're going to put this puppy in a desktop tower. No idea about the quality, but honestly, a chassis is a chassis. As long as it fits and it has properly aligned screw holes, it'll get the job done.
Just gave the SSD I was going to use for my PC to the boyfriend because his HDD bit the dust. So this comes along at a perfect time!
So I am torn between this and a similarly priced 500GB hybrid drive.
Does anyone have knowledge or use of both?
@bandrik: +1 for using the phrase "bee's knees."
Also, good price for a SSD. I really like how well they speed up load times.
Out of stock. Don't know whether you can backorder at this price. Guess I'll have to wait for black friday or something.

Private, the world's most respected investigation firm, has branches around the world, each staffed with the smartest, fastest, and most advanced agents, who have cutting-edge forensic tools that not even the most powerful governments possess.
At Private Berlin, agent Chris Schneider has disappeared. Chris had taken a secretive personal leave and hadn't spoken to anyone from the office in days. The Private team retraces his footsteps to the cases he was investigating before his disappearance: a billionaire suspected of cheating on his wife, a world-famous soccer player accused of throwing games, and the owner of a seedy nightclub. They were the last people to see Chris—and they're all suspects. And someone is lying.
The Private team is led to an abandoned Nazi slaughterhouse where all hope vanishes. As Private digs further into Chris's past, a terrifying history is revealed, and they begin to suspect that someone very dangerous and very depraved is responsible for Chris's disappearance. And he's not finished in Berlin. PRIVATE BERLIN has more twists, action, and deception than any other James Patterson thriller ever.
Prologue | THE INVISIBLE MAN
AT TEN O'CLOCK on a moonless September evening, Chris Schneider slipped toward a long-abandoned building on the eastern outskirts of Berlin, his mind whirling with dark images and old vows.
Late thirties, and dressed in dark clothes, Schneider drew out a .40 Glock pistol and eased forward, alert to the dry rustle of the thorn bushes and goldenrod and the vines that engulfed the place.
He hesitated, staring at the silhouette of the building, recalling some of the horror that he'd felt coming here for the first time, and realizing that he'd been waiting almost three decades for this moment.
Indeed, for ten years he'd trained his mind and body.
For ten years after that he'd actively sought revenge, but to no avail.
In the past decade, Schneider had come to believe it might never happen, that his past had not only disappeared, it had died, and with it the chance to exact true payback for himself and the others.
But here was his chance to be the avenging angel they'd all believed in.
Schneider heard voices in his mind, all shrieking at him to go forward and put a just ending to their story.
At their calling, Schneider felt himself harden inside. They deserved a just ending. He intended to give it to them.
By now he'd reached the steps of the building. The chain hung from the barn doors, which stood ajar. He stared at the darkness, feeling his gut hollow and his knees weaken.
You've waited a lifetime, Schneider told himself. Finish it. Now.
For all of us.
Schneider toed open the door. He stepped inside, smelling traces of stale urine, burnt copper, and something dead.
His mind flashed with the image of a door swinging shut and locking, and for a moment that alone threatened to cripple him completely.
But then Schneider felt righteous vengeance ignite inside him. He pressed the safety lever on the trigger, readying it to fire. He flicked on the flashlight taped to the gun, giving him a soft red beam with which to dissect the place.
Boot prints marred the dust.
Schneider's heart pounded as he followed them. Cement rooms, more like stalls really, stood to either side of the passage. Even though the footprints went straight ahead, he searched the rooms one by one. In the last, he stopped and stared, seeing a horror film playing behind his eyes.
He tore his attention away, but noticed his gun hand was trembling.
The hallway met a second set of barn doors. The lock hung loose in the hasp. The doors were parted a foot, leading into a cavernous space.
He heard fluttering, stepped inside, and aimed his light and pistol into the rafters, seeing pigeons blinking in their roost.
The smell of death was worse here. Schneider swung his light all around, looking for the source. Large rusted bolts jutted from the floor. Girders and trusses overhead supported a track that ran the length of the space.
Corroded hooks hung on chains from the track.
The footprints cut diagonally left, away from the doorway. He followed, aware of those bolts in the floor and not wanting to trip.
Schneider meant to look into the girders again, but was distracted by something scampering ahead of him. He crouched, aiming the gun and light at the noise.
A line of rats scurried toward a gaping hole in the floor on the far side of the room. The boot prints went straight to the hole and disappeared. He heard rats squealing and hissing as he got closer.
To the left of the hole stood a metal tube of a slightly smaller diameter than the hole. Atop it lay a sewer grate. To the right of the hole was a small gas blower, the kind used to get clippings off walkways.
Schneider stepped to the hole and shined the light into a shaft of corrugated steel. Ten feet down, the shaft ended in space. Four feet below that lay a gravel floor.
A female corpse was sprawled on the gravel. Rats were swarming her.
Schneider knew her nonetheless.
He'd been searching for her all over Berlin and Germany, hoping against hope that she was alive.
But he was far, far too late.
The desire for vengeance that had been a low flame inside Schneider fueled and exploded through him now. He wanted to shoot at anything that moved. He wanted to scream into the hole and call out her killer to receive his just due.
But then Schneider's colder, rational side took over.
This was bigger than him now, bigger than all of us. It wasn't about revenge anymore. It was about bringing someone heinous into the harsh light, exposing him for what he was and what he had been.
Go outside, he thought. Call the Kripo. Get them involved. Now.
Schneider turned and, sweeping the room behind him with the light, started back toward the hallway. He had taken six or seven steps when he heard what sounded like a very large bird fluttering.
He tried to react, tried to get his gun moving up toward the sound.
But the dark figure was already dropping from his hiding spot in the deep shadows above the rusted overhead track.
Boots struck Schneider's collarbones. He collapsed backward and landed on one of those bolts sticking up from the floor.
The bolt impaled him, broke his spine, and paralyzed him.
The Glock clattered away.
There was so much fiery pain Schneider could not speak, let alone scream. The silhouette of a man appeared above him. The man aimed his flashlight at his own upper body, revealing a black mask that covered his nose, cheeks, and forehead.
The masked man began to speak, and Schneider knew him instantly, as if three decades had passed in a day.
"You thought you were prepared for this, Chris, hmmm?" the masked man asked, amused. He made a clicking noise in his throat. "You were never prepared for this, no matter what you may have told yourself all those years ago."
A knife appeared in the masked man's other hand. He squatted by Schneider, and touched the blade to his throat.
"My friends will come quicker if I bleed you," he said. "A few hours in their care, and your mask will be gone, Chris. No one would ever recognize you then, not even your own dear, sweet mother, hmmm?"

hello everybody, i'm studying the article of Bedford-Taylor "Fine topology silov boundary..." but i don't understand the proof of the following proposition.
Let u,v plurisubharmonic function defined on $\Omega$ open subset of $\mathbb{C}^n$ such that $u,v\in L^{\infty}_{loc}(\Omega)$.
Let $O$ be a fine-open subset of $\Omega$ where $u>v$. Then $(dd^{c}\max(u,v))^{n}|O=(dd^{n}u)^{n}|O$.
They say that if $O$ is open then it is obvious. while if $O$ is just fine open then using a decreasing approximation sequence $u_k$ of smooth functions for $u$.
Then since $O=\bigcap_{k}(u_k>v)$ and since $(dd^{c}\max(u_k,v))^{n}|O_k=(dd^{n}u_k)^{n}|O_k$ (this dont'understand),
where $O_k=(u_k>v)$, the statement holds.
Maybe it is trivial but i'm not able to see it. thanks

We didn't follow the loop exactly, as it required a few too many turn. However, it was helpful in knowing where hotels and motels were located. We ended up staying on route 30 and a number of different routes coming back. Some of the accommodations could be updated, but overall, it really was helpful!

I am a father of 2, whom stays home with my young son and daughter. I have always been a hobbyist, and thought I would try out my hand in home brewing "Since I do have a passion for beer, but not a lot of cash. Seemed like a bad idea not to try it." For my first attempt, I created beer from stale bread and tea. Though successful, I used an entire packet of baking yeast "I know better now. Most people only use that much for much much higher quantities, and baking yeast is not particularly what people use for most brews." So I decided to use a small amount of it for a starter of my next batch, which is a full gallon. I am still in the trial and error process of just making a beer that is successfully carbonated and fermented out of ingredients I have lying around the house, that doesn't taste like cat throw up "Not that I'd know what it tastes like :-p..." My expectations aren't very high for a great beer from cheap ingredients, but if anyone has any pointers on how I can make it better, or have made a decent beer (Or another type of brew) from such ingredients, let me know. I do plan to start brewing with actual kits in the near future after we buy a house and settle in, so the road is only starting with the bread experimentation.

This question came from our site for biology researchers, academics, and students.
Warmer temperature are shown to raise aggression level (Anderson, et al, 1995). Citing this study, DeWall, 2009 found a similar correlation between words associated with high temperatures and hostile behavior. This could be perceived as a threat to clear thinking.
Moss, 1996 shows oxygen administration increases memory. However, intermittent hypoxia on developing children led to adverse effects (both mental and physical), according to Bass, 2004. Though, I must say, you can't really determine the oxygen content indoor vs. outdoors without sensors, even if you raise in elevation and who's to say what competing particulates there are between the two environments?
It's known that kinetic motion itself increases neurogenesis, mostly in studies with exercise, like this one. There's been a lot of papers and laymen articles on the subject of exercise and neurogenesis lately. The act of walking or climbing the mountain might contribute a lot to the subjective experience of thinking.

According to WFIW Radio in Fairfield, another big tree has unexpectedly fallen on the Wayne County courthouse square. This time, a 25 ft. tall evergreen fell on the southwest side of the square. Fortunately, the tree fell in the early morning hours on Saturday and no cars were damaged and no one was hurt.
Shortly before the Fairfield Fall Fun Fest this year, another large tree on the south side of the square fell, taking out power lines and light poles. As a result, Wayne County officials say they plan to check the health of trees around the Wayne County courthouse.

Hello from a libc-free world! (Part 2)
By Wcoekaer-Oracle on Apr 05, 2010
In the previous post we conquered compilation by constructing a small program that can be compiled without using libc. Understanding object code and the details of an ELF executable are the next step in our adventure.
We left off with the following program pieces:
jesstess@kid-charlemagne:~$ cat stubstart.SWhat did all that work get us?.globl _start _start: call main movl $1, %eax xorl %ebx, %ebx int $0x80jesstess@kid-charlemagne:~$ cat hello.cint main() { char *str = "Hello World"; return 0; }jesstess@kid-charlemagne:~/c$ gcc -nostdlib stubstart.S hello.c -o hello
jesstess@kid-charlemagne:~/c$ wc -c hello 1373 hello jesstess@kid-charlemagne:~$ objdump -D hello | wc -l 93We're down to a little over 1300 bytes of executable and what at under 100 lines seems like a very reasonable amount of assembly to dissect. Since no little bit of assembly is going to scare us at this point, let's look at the assembly now, with
objdump -D so we see the assembly for all sections (output here). If it looks intimidating at first, just give it a quick once-over and I promise it won't be by the end of this post.
Alright, we have 5 sections:
.text, which contains the familiar
_start and
main symbols,
.eh_frame, and
Step 1: Back up - what the heck is a "section"?If we dust off our favorite copy of the Tool Interface Standard ELF Specification and have a look inside, it tells us this:
An ELF executable like the result of our compilation has two views: it has a program header describing the segments, which contain information used at run-time, and a section header describing the sections, which contain information for linking and relocation. We can look at the program header's segment information or the section header's section information with
readelf -l or
readelf -S, respectively (output here).
The output from these commands on our program is summarized in Figure
1. We won't worry about segments again during this post.
Step 2: What goes in our sections?The specification also tells us what goes where in our executable:
.text: The executable instructions for a program.
.rodata: Constant data. This is the "read-only data" segment.
.eh_frame: Information necessary for frame-unwinding during exception handling.
.eh_frame_hdr: To quote the Linux Standard Base Specification: "This section contains a pointer to the
section which is accessible to the runtime support code of a C++
application. This section may also contain a binary search table which
may be used by the runtime support code to more efficiently access
records in the
.eh_frame section."
We don't have to worry about exceptions with this example, so
.eh_frame and
.eh_frame_hdr aren't doing much that we care about, and on this machine, compiling with
-fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables will suppress creation of these two sections.
.comment: Compiler version information.
Speaking of getting rid of sections: for those of us with a minimalist aesthetic,
strip(1) is our friend. We can
--remove-section on non-essential sections like
.comment to get rid of them entirely;
file(1) will tell us if an ELF executable has been stripped.
Other common sections we don't see with our example because they'd be empty:
.data: Initialized global variables and initialized static local variables.
.bss: Uninitialized global and local variables; filled with zeroes. A popular section to bring up during CS interviews!
That's the story on sections. Now, we know that symbols, like
_start and
main, live in these sections, but are there any more symbols in this program?
Step 3: Understand the symbols and why they live where they live.We can get symbol information for our executable with
objdump -t:
jesstess@kid-charlemagne:~/c$ objdump -t helloThe symbol table for our executable has 11 entries. Weirdly, only rare versions of the objdump man page, like this one, will actually explain the symbol table column by column. It breaks the table down as follows:hello: file format elf64-x86-64 SYMBOL TABLE: 00000000004000e8 l d .text 0000000000000000 .text 0000000000400107 l d .rodata 0000000000000000 .rodata 0000000000400114 l d .eh_frame_hdr 0000000000000000 .eh_frame_hdr 0000000000400128 l d .eh_frame 0000000000000000 .eh_frame 0000000000000000 l d .comment 0000000000000000 .comment 0000000000000000 l df *ABS* 0000000000000000 hello.c 00000000004000e8 g .text 0000000000000000 _start 0000000000600fe8 g *ABS* 0000000000000000 __bss_start 00000000004000f4 g F .text 0000000000000013 main 0000000000600fe8 g *ABS* 0000000000000000 _edata 0000000000600fe8 g *ABS* 0000000000000000 _end
Column 1: the symbol's value/address.
Column 2: a set of characters and spaces representing the flag bits set for the symbol. There are 7 groupings, three of which are represented in this symbol table. The first can be l, g, <space>, or !, if the symbol is local, global, neither, or both, respectively. The sixth can be d, D, or <space>, for debugging, dynamic, or normal, respectively. The seventh can be F, f, O, or <space>, for function, file, object, or normal symbol, respectively. Descriptions of the 4 remaining grouping can be found in that unusally comprehensive objdump manpage.
Column 3: which section the symbol lives in. *ABS*, or absolute, means the symbol is not associated with a certain section.
Column 4: the symbol's size/alignment.
Column 5: the symbol's name.
Our 5 sections all have associated local (l) debugging (d) symbols.
main is indeed a function (F), and
hello.c is in fact a file (f), and it isn't associated with any particular section (*ABS*).
_start and
main are part of the executable instructions for our program and thus live in the
.text section as we'd expect. The only oddities here are
_edata, and
_end, all *ABS*olute, global symbols that we certainly didn't write into our program. Where did they come from?
The culprit this time is the linker script.
gcc implicitly called
ld to do the linking on this machine as part of the compilation process.
ld --verbose will spit out the linker script that was used, and looking at this script (output here) we see that
_edata is defined as the end of the
.data section, and
__bss_start and
_end mark the beginning and end of the
.bss section. These symbols could be used by memory management schemes (for example if
sbrk wants to know where the heap could start) and garbage collectors.
Note that
str, our initialized local variable, doesn't show
up in the symbol table. Why? Because it gets allocated on the stack (or
possibly in a register) at runtime. However, something related to
str is in the
.rodata section, even though we don't see it in the symbol table...
char *str = "Hello, World"; we're actually creating
two different objects. The first is the string literal "Hello, World",
which is just that array of characters, and has some address but no
explicit way of naming it. That array is read-only and lives in
.rodata. The second is the local variable
which is of type "pointer to char". That is what lives on the stack.
Its initial value is the address of the string literal that was created.
We can prove this, and see some other useful information, by looking at the contents of our sections with the strings decoded:
jesstess@kid-charlemagne:~$ objdump -s helloVoila! Our "Hello World" string is inhello: file format elf64-x86-64 Contents of section .text: 4000e8 e80b0000 00b80100 000031db cd809090 ..........1..... 4000f8 554889e5 48c745f8 0b014000 b8000000 UH..H.E...@..... 400108 00c9c3 ...

Contents of section .eh_frame: 400130 14000000 00000000 017a5200 01781001 .........zR..x.. 400140 030c0708 90010000 1c000000 1c000000 ................ 400150 f8004000 13000000 00410e10 8602430d ..@......A....C. 400160 06000000 00000000 ........ Contents of section .comment: 0000 00474343 3a202855 62756e74 7520342e .GCC: (Ubuntu 4. 0010 332e332d 35756275 6e747534 2920342e 3.3-5ubuntu4) 4. 0020 332e3300 3.3.
.rodata, and our
.comment section is now explained: it just holds a string with the gcc version used to compile the program.
Step 4: Trim the fat and put it all togetherThis executable has 5 sections:
.eh_frame, and
.comment. Really, only one of them,
.text, has assembly that's germane to what this little program does. This can be confirmed by doing an
objdump -d (only disassemble those sections which are expected to contain instructions) instead of the
objdump -D (disassemble the contents of all sections, not just those expected to contain instructions) done at the beginning of the post and noting that only the content of
.text is displayed.
.rodata really only contains the string "Hello World", and
.comment really only contains a gcc version string. The "instructions" for those sections seen in the
objdump -D output come from
objdump treating the hexadecimal representations of the ASCII characters in those strings as instructions and trying to disassemble them. We can convert the first couple of numbers in the
.comment section to ASCII characters to prove this. In Python:
'GCC: (Ubuntu'>>> "".join(chr(int(x, 16)) for x in "47 43 43 3a 20 28 55 62 75 6e 74 75".split())
_start calls
main, and in
main a pointer to the memory location where "Hello World" is stored, 0x40010b (where
.rodata starts, as seen in the
obdjump -D output), is pushed onto the stack. We then return from
main to
_start, which takes care of returning from the program, as described in Part I.
And that's everything! All sections and symbols are accounted for. Nothing is magic (and I mean magic in a good I-would-ace-this-test way, not a sorry-Jimmy-Santa-isn't-real way). Whew.
Looking at and really understanding the core parts of an ELF executable means that we can add complexity now without cheating our way around parts we don't understand. To that end, stay tuned for Part 3, where we'll stuff this program with a veritable variable smörgåsbord and see where everything ends up in the program's memory.

Rows with checkboxes or radio buttons have different heigts than rows containing ...
... textfields
thats not a bug, it's more an improvement.
In a form containing several lines with checkboxes the line height is smaller than rows, that contain text fields. That looks a little bit pressed and not really nice.
Or did I miss something?
In GXT 2.2.x it looks like that:
5 Feb 2012 2:03 AM #2
From the difference in the screenshots I would say that setting some margins will cause the same appearance as in GXT 2?
6 Feb 2012 12:28 AM #3
I think, you are right. This will solve it.
But this will increase the among of code needed to create forms. I would prefer, that the checkbox has the same line height as as other form elements.
6 Feb 2012 6:58 AM #4
I'm not sure if it is a best solution, but if you need the same layout on a lot of fields you could inherit FieldSet and override the add method to do this. Not the most elegant solution, but it will work without any problems.
I'll probably soon test how to use my GUI factories with uibinder, but I think my answer will end up in @UiField(provided=true) and then set the field like that. I think that would be a more elegant solution.

If you have a personal story about higher education or if you know any websites that were helpful in your job search...leave it in the comment section below.
College graduation...it's a time to celebrate success and bask in achievement.
But for many college grads that celebration is cut short when reality sets in. Brad Rakes of Enterprise knows all too well the powerful grip life can have.
"Well, the biggest, biggest thing is juggling my time," says Brad Rakes. Time that can be precious when you have a wife and two small children.
"You know I have to spend time with family, work and have time to do my school work and you know make sure I'm doing good," he added.
Brad graduated with a Computer Networking degree and things were looking up.
"I graduated with a 3.75 GPA so I...I did pretty good," he explained. But pretty good doesn't look quite so good on a resume.
In this tough economy, finding a job is next to impossible. In fact, one in every two college graduates can't find employment or end up settling for part-time work.
It's been nearly a year since Brad graduated. These days he's a manager at a restaurant. Taking things one day at a time to support his two young girls.
"I'm struggling to find a job like many people are...it's just.. there are lots of jobs out there but finding one is kinda hard to do because it's what people get for careers and not normal jobs," says Rakes.
The job versus career road block is a problem many graduates face. It's hard to find a job without experience..but on the flip side, it's hard to gain experience without first getting that job.
Because of this, many schools are now equipped with programs to bridge the gap between employer and employee.
"We are seeing an increase number of students that are taking job search strategies...that are coming in and are filling out placement files. We do get a lot of businesses in the area that will let us know when they have vacancies and that way we can kind of match up our students with those particular jobs and so that is an area that's growing," says Troy Dothan Dean of Students Bob Willis.
To increase his odds, Brad has turned to the internet to try to find some luck. "And I've had a couple leads I thought might could pan through but they just didn't work out so I'm just gonna keep looking...that's all I can do," Brad explains.
Keep looking because now as head of a household he has an example to set.

Since a password is required to be a superuser (to install and modify programs), what are the risks to not use a firewall under Ubuntu ? More particularly if I am using a NAT router ?
It depends. Most people use a router between their desktop and the internet and by default there are no sigificant open ports, so in the vast majority of user cases a firewall adds very litte, if anything.
It can help if you inadvertantly install a server, such as VNC or SSH.
A better question is what do you want to use a firewall for ?
If you want a graphical tool for your firewall, use gufw
It sounds like the question is about a host-based firewall on an Ubuntu PC.
IF the machine never leaves the NAT-based network (ie, it is not a laptop that you take to coffee shops and use on free wifi networks),
AND there are no ports open on your router that could be mapped to your Ubuntu machine,
AND your router doesn't have any features which helpfully open ports for you based on things that happen on your network (UPnP)
AND you will never have any other devices on your local network that might be compromised and attack your Ubuntu box,
THEN your system is probably secure without a host-based firewall.
However, if some of these things aren't true, or might become untrue in the future, a host-based firewall is a really good idea. Given the potential benefits and the limited drawbacks, why not enable it?
Using a NAT, if you have no port forwarding to your machine, it is not accessible from the internet unless you explicitly open a connection to it (with vnc or teamviewer for example) so I think there is no problem not using a firewall on it. The unique worry could come from internal (LAN) access but usually not the case on home lan.
None whatsoever.
The function of a firewall is to block access to services that otherwise would allow it. Ubuntu has no listening services by default, so there is nothing to block. Further, since you are behind a NAT router, you already effectively have a firewall.
I think one of the most used firewall feature is to prevent "cracked" programs to check the license on internet. If the "cracked" application doesn't need to be update or doesn't use "online" features, you can prevent it to accessing the internet by setting up a specific firewall rule. Sad but true.
In general cases, being either public computers or computers without a secure connection such as those more or less hijacking internet connections from other users in adjacent ports (i.e. houses/apartments next door), then that alone - I think - would give an example of how a firewall (being discretion) could be the better part of valor, so to speak. Plus, they keep those around you from digging into your information whether it be personal or even just something goofy you might be screwing around with. The point is privacy.
When I say general, again, I mean places like public venues. Libraries where all and sundry before you use portable carriers such as USB anything, really, discs - even if you were to do something possibly rash such as take your own external hard drive elsewhere and plug it in, there's no guarantee that the subsequent port is protected by virus or spyware blockers and all of that could latch on and carry itself right back to your original home laptop/desktop, thus making itself at home.
So while there might not be a vehement need in a lot of cases for a firewall to protect against a lot of things, they certainly come in handy against certain - if isolated - cases.
In between, I found some interesting considerations about firewall.
The article explains the notion of "service listening", "open port" and "NAT router" which can be misunderstood to conclude that : - better with than without (even if you drive a tank, put your seatbelt on) and - think twice before doing something affecting the system (educational considerations)

The tanning bed debate: game, set and match
You can tell when an industry or company has its back to the wall because it starts spinning the bad news so fast that Ginger Rogers would get dizzy. Late in July the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) announced in the new issue of the Lancet Oncology that the evidence was unequivocal: tanning bed use increases the odds of developing melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. In fact, the organization, which until now has avoided stating flatly that tanning beds and sun lamps cause cancer, moved tanning beds to its highest cancer risk category: "carcinogenic to humans," a designation shared by such substances as tobacco and mustard gas. It reported that an analysis of clinical research shows that teens and young adults under age 30 who regularly use tanning beds increase their melanoma risk by a staggering 75 percent.
News doesn't get more damning than that, and it only reinforces the point we have made so often in our book, on this blog and in our other writings: avoiding excessive sun exposure is one of the most important steps you can take to improve not only the health of your skin but your overall health. The trouble is, the tanning salon industry isn't, as you would expect, turning cartwheels over this news. For years, the industry has caught a great deal of flack for opening up new salons directly across from high schools in an obvious attempt to woo young girls looking to get bronzed before prom. So it's not surprising that the official response of the industry was this, from an MSNBC story:
"The fact that the IARC has put tanning bed use in the same category as sunlight is hardly newsworthy," said Dan Humiston, president of the Indoor Tanning Association (ITA). "The UV light from a tanning bed is equivalent to UV light from the sun, which has had a group 1 classification since 1992. Some other items in this category are red wine, beer and salted fish. The ITA has always emphasized the importance of moderation when it comes to UV light from either the sun or a tanning bed."
That is more than a little disingenuous. The IARC Group 1 classification includes ethanol as a carcinogen, a type of alcohol that is indeed found in alcoholic beverages like red wine and beer. But drinking a glass of red wine is hardly the same as drinking pure ethanol, and it's probably safe to say that the proven health benefits of red wine also counterbalance the cancer risks. This comes across as desperate spin from an industry that's heard its death knell…maybe.
That brings up the real point: will this announcement change behavior. There are some positive signs already: MSNBC also reports that tanning salons around the country have seen a spike in cancellations after this cancer information was made public. But how long will that last? If history is any indication, teens who believe they are immortal will revert back to old habits unless this new information is followed with continuing education. So if you're the parent of a young woman (or man, since guys tan, too), take it upon yourself to learn more about this announcement, the dangers of tanning beds, and melanoma in general, and talk to your kids. You can learn more here:
Stay beautiful,
Debi & Eva

WACO (February 1, 2013)—Cory Matthew Carpenter, 23, of Waco, was in the McLennan County Jail Friday, charged with injury to an elderly person and family violence in an incident in which a woman police identified as his 65-year-old common law wife and her 42-year-old daughter were assaulted.
Carpenter was ordered held on bonds totaling $8,000.
The charges stem from an incident on Jan. 25 in which a woman reported her husband grabbed her leg and pushed it over her head as she sat on a couch, causing severe pain, Waco police Officer Steve Anderson said Friday.
The woman reported the attack caused her severe pain.
When the woman's daughter arrived at the house and tried to intervene, the man punched her in the face, causing a cut that required 14 stitches, Anderson said.
Carpenter was arrested Thursday.

Lutherans, Methodists, and Calvinists believe that justification is an event (as opposed to the Roman Catholic church and the Orthodox church who believe it is a process). If justification is an event, when does it happen? Is it at the moment of conversion, at baptism, or at some other time?
Sign up

According to most independent, fundamentalist Baptists, (and to the best of my knowledge, the groups that you mentioned) justification is a one-time event that happens at the moment of conversion, when a sinner repents on his or her sins and puts their faith in Christ for salvation.
This would be in line with a Calvinist view. Justification is a result of salvation, and is something granted freely as the gift of salvation, apart from any works of man.
The very same Wikipedia article that you linked to outlines the relationship between Justification and Sola Fide, for those denominations that subscribe to the view that salvation is by faith alone.
This article covers more groups independently, rather than lumping protestants entirely into a group, and may provide more clarity on how different denominations view the topic.
Lutherans who hold to their confessions [ http://bookofconcord.org/ ] believe that justification, faith, and baptism go together. A baptized infant believes the Gospel at its baptism. An adult who falls away from faith in Christ which has been given in Baptism and is converted is returning to the promise of the Gospel which has been applied to him in Baptism.
Lutherans believe that faith in Christ is the work of the Holy Spirit alone. Human will is bound and unable to assist with conversion. The Holy Spirit works faith through the external Word--that is, the preached Gospel, the written or read Scriptures.
At the same time, faith worked in Christ by the preached Word leads to Baptism, which is "the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit" (Titus 3). Rather than looking for or to an experience of conversion, Lutherans look to God's works and promises. Rather than looking to his feeling of faith, or his conversion experience, decision, or sanctified life, a Lutheran will look to the forgiveness of sins promised in the Gospel to all sinners on account of Christ's propitiatory death, and he will look to the promise of God in Baptism (as well as absolution, and the sacrament of Christ's body and blood) that Christ's merits have been given to him.
In Luther's sermon on Matthew 8:1-13 in his 1525 "Church Postil" [ http://www.lutherdansk.dk/Web-Fastepostillen%20AM/index.htm ] he talks about the faith of infants in Baptism. Another key writing is the Large Catechism's section on Baptism, where Luther has a section dealing specifically with Anabaptist arguments against infant baptism and infant faith. The Large Catechism can be found at the Book of Concord website linked above.
Some excerpts from the sermon on Matthew I've found helpful:
In the Methodist tradition, a person is justified when they accept the grace God has given them, and make a decision to follow his will rather than their own.
Though justification by itself is not a process, it is the beginning of the process of sanctification, in which we work with God to transform us into the people God intended us to be. This is, as far as I understand, similar to the Catholic and Orthodox concept of theosis.
Justification, if it is an event, probably happened that weekend when Jesus was crucified, died and was buried.
However, since God exists outside of time, from His perspective there may not be a "moment" when justification happened.
I think the better question is why does it matter when justification happened?

What is the best way to start from nothing when building your own game? What programming languages do you need to learn, and which platform would it be best to start on?

I would suggest using XNA.
C# is awesome language.
Visual Studio is probably the best IDE. The free version Visual Studio Express is pretty decent too.
XNA wraps all the low level 'dirty' calls with DirectX or OpenGL into awesome classes etc. So it is much easier to understand. Even if you are planning to learn game dev with C++ or something else. I suggest learning XNA or the first few days because of this DirectX/OpenGL abstraction. And then go to C++ and you will be able to understand it easier.
XNA is a very powerful framework. Is used mainly by game dev enthusiasts for indie game development etc. There is plenty games built with XNA out there.
With XNA you can develop games for Windows, Xbox360 and for upcoming Windows Phone 7 at once! All you would need to do is write few additional conditional lines of code for each device. For example:
Unity3D: great architecture, lots of good community support. run it with visual studio and you've got a great, easy to use system, for hitting the ground running.
Just do stuff. don't spend too much time reading, experience trumps everything. Find tutorials where you do stuff and do it. Also, if you get stuck, move on. Just goof around with something else for a while.
Try to reflect on everything you did, and get a big picture grasp of the architecture. If you can't do what was done in a tutorial without watching it, you didn't learn it.
Finally, don't start with writing a big game. You'll hit roadblocks. break everything down to the simplest thing possible and sandbox that.
Sorry for the vague BS, but let me say this again: do something, and be persistent.
To start from nothing, from absolute zero to programming games. Good question.
First, disregard your other question, it's irrelevant. The question which language you need to learn and which platform would be best to start on depends entirely on you. Start with a language that makes it easy to learn, definitely don't try C++ as your first language unless you're a programming demigod but just don't know it yet. Highly unlikely.
C++ is the most ugly language to start learning, even though anyone would correctly point out that it's the most widely used language in the game industry - so why not start with that? For exactly the reason that you're not working in the game industry yet. Make it easy on yourself, stay motivated by learning a language that's easy on you.
Instead try a couple beginner's languages and stick with the one you can get the most out of. Look for all-in-one solutions like Game Maker first, where you can transition from icon-based scripting to text-based scripting but you also learn how everything else, sprites, animations, sound, levels, etc fit together.
It's also important to choose a community where you have people who are beginners just like you. In the Game Maker forum for example, you get help for the simplest of questions, besides being provided with great tutorials and a lot of example games.
As for platform, pick the one you use. If you play a lot of Xbox360 you should be familiar with Xbox Live Indie Games, so consider XNA. If you own an iPod Touch or iPhone or Android, maybe try your luck with the Lua-based engine Corona Game Edition. If you prefer PC/Mac pick any of the available game-making programs (like Game Maker) or SDKs that you like. Wikipedia offers a good starting point for your research on video game creation software.
As a general rule of thumb: start simple. Forget whatever idea you have in mind for the game you want to create. Keep that fresh for a later time when you have more experience. Instead start by making clones of classic games like Tetris, Asteroids, Pac-Man, Boulder Dash. Those will keep you occupied for a long time and will help you think like a programmer by analyzing how things work in the original game and discussing possible approaches with peers.
Another advice: to improve your programming skills, work with and talk to people who are just beyond your current skillset. You may often feel like the 5th wheel but you'll gain a lot of traction.
You can pretty much start with any language you want. I'd recommend Java or C++ (just because those are the only ones I've learned). You'll need an IDE (integrated development environment), which includes the editor, compiler, linker, etc. all in one package.
I'd recommend starting on Windows, but if you're experienced with Linux, why not start with that.
If you've never programmed before, try not to get too excited about making graphical games from the get go or you will become disillusioned once you start learning a programming language. There's so much to learn about a language and learning how to use it. You'll begin in a console environment which just means making programs that include only text. No graphics (except ASCII drawings).
Btw, really ask yourself what part of game development you're interested in. I've seen so many people who want to get into game development ask this questions and they think programming is the way to start out but most end up wanting only to do art, sound, or design. Most seem to begin programming only to find out soon that they loathe it.
But if you think it's your thing, I wish you luck and hope you hang in for the long run.
Depends on your goal. Are you more interested in programming, art, or design? If all you want to do is make a playable game, take a stack of index cards and make something that you can play on a tabletop, and save yourself years of time that you no longer need to spend learning programming. Seriously, I think physical board and card games are the best place to start if you want to be a game designer, and once you're comfortable with that, THEN you can go back and learn the programming parts if you want.

I just got over with installing Ubuntu 13.04 on my Asus laptop from a USB stick. After the installation finished and the computer restarted, it started up with a GRUB: invalid arch independent ELF magic error. I looked around on Google to find out a solution and found Cadoc's thread GRUB: "invalid arch independent ELF magic" after 11.10 install on Macbook Pro 5,5 and followed the solution up to the line
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
When I typed that command, I got
/usr/sbin/grub-bios-setup: Not found.
and I couldn't find any solution for that after some searching on Google. So what do I have to do to fix that and get thing going fine?

The Gods of Suburbia {RP} - 06-07-2010, 04:43 PM
1. If you wish to join this RP, it is recommended that you join as an Egyptian deity of some sort. A list of the main gods and a short description accompanying each can be found here. If, however, you wish to join as a human, make them believable, and, please, do not make them realize the deities secret too soon.
2. If a god you wanted is taken, then hard luck; choose another, or make a human character.
3. No Sues/Stus. Obey the RPG Forum Rules.
4. The website above provided only gives out the basics on each deity. If you want to know more, look it up. If, while looking up information, you discover that there are several different versions of one myth, PM me and ask which version of the myth would work best with this RP. Thank you.
5. There are no character forms, so you must introduce the character within your intro. If you wish, you can do as I have done and make a "then" intro paragraph which is set in the past before you make your "now" one, but this is not compulsory. It's just something that's good to do to help other people get a feel for your character, especially if they are unfamiliar with the gods featured in this RP.
6. Both inexperienced and experienced RPers MUST PM both me and Queenie with their intro for approval. Do NOT post in the RP until you have been approved; if you do, then your post will be deleted. Repeated offenders will simply be disallowed from joining the RP.
7. This RP is rated M. Please don't bother trying to join if you are aged below sixteen years of age. The RP is also jointly owned by myself and Queenie.
The year is 2009. A rare constellation of stars, only ever seen once every hundred years, will once again be visible from earth. A group has come together during the last decade to worship the deities of Egypt and take part in the almost forgotten rites of yesteryear. The group is called the Order Of The Sun and its leader is one William R Jenkins, who takes on the role of High Priest for the sacred rites, which are barred from outsiders. Only men are permitted to join, and all the group's activities must be kept secret. The penalty for revealing secrets to others is death, and the Order are masters of silent and mysterious disappearences, which baffle the police and ensure that the bodies of the fallen are never found. The Order of the Sun is a radical group that doesnt like the turn humanity has taken, and wishes to change that by use of force and their odd magical practices. The news that the constellation known as the Arrow would, for the first time this century, be viewable from Earth and align with the Egyptian Pyramids, galvanised Jenkins into action. He'd long studied Egyptian mythos, reading over old scrolls and textbooks, to the point where he became aquainted with a story about the gods walking on Earth due to having been called down from the heavens by an enchanter. While a lot of people would have scoffed and dismissed the story as pure fiction, Jenkins continued to read on. The enchanter performed a ritual that included the sacrifice of a pair of lambs, one white ewe and one black ram, underneath the shadow of the great Pyramids, at the very point when the Arrow was directly overhead the Pyramids. This resulted in the gods being brought down to Earth. However, the enchanter had made one, fatal mistake. He had forgotten to make a protective circle to ensure that the gods would not be able to harm him and would instead bend to his will; this oversight resulted in his death at the hands of those he had summoned. The ritual was never performed again and in time, became forgotten and just dismissed as pure myth.
Jenkins however saw great potential in this ritual. The thought of bringing the Egyptian gods from the past to the present in order to serve himself and his Order made him almost giddy with the thought of the power which could be his for the taking. He would be the one to perform the ritual, so he would be the one to wield the power over the deities that were summoned. Jenkins worked out the details of the ritual, before informing the members of the Order. As he'd suspected, some were skeptical of the story. Others were unsure that the ritual would even work, and pointed out that the enchanter had been killed by the gods. Jenkins smoothed over all doubts by informing the Order that he would take the greatest care and would be sure of every detail. Eventually, the thought of the power, and of what the Order could do with it, soon did away with all qualms. Jenkins explained that not all the gods would answer the call, but the ones that did would be fully under his control and would do just as he ordered. All the Egyptian deities had considerable power; even if just five answered the call, it would still be five immense powers that were there at his beck and call. They could take over the world; have all the world's leaders on their knees in front of them. The possibilities were endless, and nothing would be impossible. Everything they had ever dreamed of could realistically come to pass. Jenkins wove a web of hypnotic words to convince the Order, and he was soon leaving the meeting hall thinking only of the day when he could perform the ritual...
Exactly three months later, Jenkins stood at Giza Plateau amongst the sand, which looked almost purple at night. Occasionally, a whirl of sand would fly up in a flurry of wind, but apart from these slight breezes, the air was still. Despite the almost arctic temperatures of night in that place, Jenkins wore very little but a pair of sandals and what appeared to be linen robes of some sort. These were the garments that the High Priest would wear every time that he performed one of the sacred rites; this ritual was no different. Impatiently he looked up at the sky where the stars were clearly visible, along with a thin white slice of moon. A group of stars which formed the shape of an arrow, were slowly heading towards the top of the Pyramids. Forty five minutes passed, and they were exactly in line. Once that happened, Jenkins began the ritual, slitting the throats of the lambs and letting the blood pour directly onto a fire that he'd kindled minutes before. He added pinches of herbs, along with various rare ingredients that he'd spent a lot of time and money getting hold of. Some were even illegal, and he could face prosecution just for having them in his possession. Upon finishing, there was a flash of something, but that something was not visible to the eye. Rather, it was something one sensed rather than saw, and whatever-it-was gave off the impression of vast amounts of raw, dangerous power. Jenkins waited a moment, a smug grin on his face, but when nothing appeared to happen, his grin gradually faded. And then he panicked; had it not worked? Had he wasted such rare ingredients for a dud? Or had something gone awry? There was only one way to check that he knew of that gave clear answers.
Jenkins quickly pulled out a small metal bowl from his pack and filled it with water from a flask that he'd brought with him to the desert, then stirred it with his hands, muttering rhythmically. Soon, instead of his reflection, Jenkins saw pictures forming on the water's surface; pictures that flashed up and were soon gone, but which told him what he wanted to know. Jenkins flung the bowl to the ground and howled curses at the unheeding moon. His voice was soon swallowed up in the vast silence that surrounded the Egyptian houses of the dead. A handful of sand was flung up into the air by an errant breeze. Time marched on, even as Jenkins stood still and cursed his failure. How had this come to pass?! What part of the ritual had gone wrong? Had it been that something had been left out, or that he'd mistranslated an important detail from the scroll? Perhaps it was not the ritual, but the accompanying binding spell that had not worked. For what had happened was disaster, for both himself and the Order. The gods of Ancient Egypt had not been simply brought to the future to serve him and his Order as he wished, but instead had been incarnated in human forms somewhere within in United States of America, the third most populous country in the world.
It would take years to find them

There's no best practice. If you're scheduling a phone call you'll need 5-minute warning. If you're scheduling a meeting across town you'll need to be reminded an hour prior to it.
And it doesn't matter whether you're using an online calendar or a calendar on your phone/computer. Scheduling principles are universal.

I am trying to learn about photography, and I read something saying the RAW (for example, DNG) file format has detailed information about the image. I wonder if anyone can tell me: how do I know a camera is able to take RAW images?
It's true that raw files contain much more information than jpeg files and that this information is very useful when editing the photo.
DNG (digital negative), is just one raw format, it was developed by Adobe and is intended to be a generic format that everyone is supposed to use - however, camera manufacturers don't share Adobe's worldview and almost none of the major camera manufacturers support DNG.
Canon has CR2, Nikon has NEF, etc.
What you are looking for is "raw support" (not DNG support) and all cameras except for the most basic point and shoots have it.
For a starting point, check out What is RAW, technically? —
So, in general, you want to look for "raw support". This is commonly recognized as an important feature, and all camera specs, reviews, and databases will tell you. For example, you can look at Neocamera's search for cameras with RAW support, and narrow down from there. (You can also search for specifically
Also, for basic background on why you might want to use RAW, check out Good examples of RAW's advantages over JPEG? (which happens to be the top-voted question and has the top-voted answer on this site), and the raw-vs-jpeg tag for even more.
This page on Adobe's website lists all cameras with built-in DNG support, as well as all cameras with a proprietary RAW format supported by Adobe tools:
It simply says so in the specifications.
Each site presents it differently though. For example on Nikon's own specifications for the D7100, it says next to Image Formats:
On Neocamera, I present this in simplified form for all cameras exactly the same way. Here it is for the Nikon D7100 for example and, next Image Formats, it says:
If you were to look at a camera not supporting RAW, it would simply say
Now, unless you have a model in mind, you will find it tedious to check each page. So instead, you can simply search for cameras which support RAW (or DNG specifically) using the Camera Search page. Just select your criteria an check the RAW or DNG box.
Note also, that RAW describes a general format, it's not the implementation. That's why you have so many different types of RAW. Every camera will tell you on the box,--or you can look it up on B&H's website for any camera they sell under "Product highlights."
If you use Lightroom and probably, you can convert to DNG, if you need it for some reason (can't imagine why at present other than for moving files around or archive purposes),--you don't need to have it in the camera. Wouldn't convert everything to DNG just yet though: some viewers still don't seem to open them.
Look on the box or see what options are available in the menu.

The stories of Kansans are told in the new Ken Burns documentary "The Dust Bowl."
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that tears well up in the eyes of Dale and Floyd Coen as they recall their 2½-year-old sister Rena Marie. She died in 1935 of dust pneumonia.
The Coens are two of seven brothers who grew up and still reside in Morton County. The disaster encompassed that part of southwest Kansas, although parts of Oklahoma were even harder hit.
Dale Coen says that as the only girl in a family of boys, Rena Marie was "precious" and "a pretty little girl." His brother, Floyd Coen, called the toddler "the sweetest little thing that you had ever seen."
Burns' two-part series is airing Sunday and Monday on PBS.

- Soak the rice noodles in a bowl of boiling hot water for 10 minutes, then drain. Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat, and swirl it around the pan. Add the tofu, and cook for about 10 minutes until golden-you may need to use more oil. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan. When hot, add the garlic and cook for 10 seconds, then add the egg and cook, stirring and breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until scrambled. Remove from the pan, and set aside.
- Now add another tablespoon of the oil. Again, when hot, add the drained noodles, and stir gently to coat with the oil. Pour in the stock, lime juice, fish sauce (if using), tamarind paste, sugar, and soy sauce; toss to combine. Let bubble for a few minutes, then stir in the chile.
- Add half of the peanuts, the scallions, and the bean sprouts, and stir-fry for 1 minute. Now top with the reserved scrambled egg, stir to combine, and transfer to a serving plate. To serve, scatter the remaining peanuts over the top, and sprinkle with cilantro.
- Cheat...Buy a prepared Pad Thai sauce and toss with the noodles for a quick home-from-work dish.
