Why does shabbat start at different times at different places? Crossing a time zone does not conjure up a time warp, so how can it be Friday in one place, and Shabbat in another? It just doesn't seem possible. The answer is because the world is round. Why is it that Hashem wanted to make the world in the shape of a globe?

Shabbat starts no later than sunset (Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chayim 293:2).
Sunset is a subjective phenomenon describing the apparent descent of the Sun below the horizon. It happens because the Earth is round and rotates about its own axis much more quickly than it revolves around the Sun, so observers on its surface observe, once per rotation, their part of the Earth rotating away from the Sun to the point that the rest of the Earth blocks them from seeing the Sun. That point is sunset.
Because the timing of this phenomenon depends on the observer's location on the Earth, so does the timing of the latest time to start Shabbat. This timing varies continuously with the observer's location on Earth, meaning that two people who are almost in the same place will observe almost the same time for sunset and would therefore be subject to almost the same limit for starting Shabbat, so there's no discontinuous "time warp" except at the Halachic International Date Line (wherever that is).
It's because the world is Round!

text: Here is a character that I made last week but I never got around to uploading it until now. It is on another My Little Pony character and if you are a fan of the new series, you should fall in love with this adorable addition. Today I will finally show you "how to draw Pipsqueak", step by step. What I love about this character from the series is how his name definitely fits his small stature. Pipsqueak dresses like a pirate and he is also full of energy. His pony colors are what you would normally refer to as being a pinto horse. Pipsqueak made his first debut in Luna Eclipse and since then he has been a reoccurring character. Other ponies that know Pipsqueak call him just Pip, but you can call him whatever you want. He is going to be really easy to draw, and I think you will enjoy how I tried to make him as close to the real thing as possible. When my little sister seen the drawing I did for him, she automatically wanted to follow the lesson. So here it is guys, "how to draw Pip", or Pipsqueak. Have fun and be sure to let me know what you thought of the tutorial. Adios mi amigos and enjoy!

I have recently been feeling very stressed and burnt out at work. The stress has begun to have physical manifestations, in terms of dizziness, headaches, fatigue, loss of focus and IBS. As a result, my productivity has taken a massive downturn. I try to work 100% 100% of the time, but it just isn't going well at all. I keep getting distracted and making stupid mistakes and missing deadlines.
So I thought I would try the Pomodoro technique, and take a 3-5 minute break every 25 minutes, and not take the longer breaks every 4 pomodoros. I told my boss that I was doing this, as they were also keen to improve my productivity.
The last week has been the most productive week here for months, but on Friday afternoon my boss asks me to make up time for all of the 'breaks' I have taken.
I'm unsure, but is one expected to 'make up time' for 'lost' time with the pomodoro technique? For example, if you have to work for 6 hours, do you work an extra hour and ten minutes longer to account for the time lost to breaks? Or are the breaks counted as part of your 'work time'?

I�m not sure why, but whenever the winter breaks (it has, right?) I start thinking about Ralph Waldo Emerson and the Transcendentalists. Perhaps it�s because with the better weather and the seasonal reopening of the Emerson House and Walden Pond�s reawakening to springtime we can start planning one of our annual trips to Concord and its environs.
I first visited the Emerson House last fall; it�s a tour I highly recommend. The history that passed through the place, not only the work and life of the Sage of Concord himself, but the various guests over the years and the general goings-on in the surrounding area, make it a fascinating take for fans of history or literature. The backyard has a grapevine planted by Henry David Thoreau, and, also to the rear, Emerson�s walking path is nicely preserved.
The house is just a mile due east from the town common, and reopens in mid-April each year. Emerson moved here with his wife, Lidian, in 1835, and wrote many of his most important essays, including �Nature� and �Self-Reliance,� right there in the study at the front of the house.
Walden�s Pond is nearby, where a replica of Thoreau�s cabin stands at the far end. That�s the highlight, but the beauty of the place that so moved Thoreau is still apparent. Just be warned that if you go on a beautiful summer day the place will be jammed with people swimming and having other sorts of non-literary fun (the nerve!).
The Alcott homestead is also near and open for tours (I�ve yet to hit that one), and close by is Sleepy Hollow Cemetery with its authors section where these literary lights of Concord are buried.
To plan your visit Emerson House, call first (978-369-2236, the address is 28 Cambridge Turnpike). But before you go, you may want to do some reading. Here are some books to get you up to speed:
�Emerson: The Mind on Fire� by Robert D. Richardson (Centennial Books) � This biography presents a fascinating look at the transcendent Transcendentalist through his life and writings. Emerson lived a thoughtful, thought-filled life, and Richardson conveys all of it, plus the people he knew, his family history, and even captures what it must have been like to hear the man himself deliver one of his famous lectures.
�The Annotated Essays� by Ralph Waldo Emerson (Belknap Press) � No matter how smart you might be, chances are Emerson was smarter. Or at least more abstract in his thinking. Which makes reading his essays with notations the way to go. More like a coffee-table book, this isn�t something you can toss in your backpack and take up to Walden, but if you read it before heading to Concord you�ll know why everyone makes such a fuss about the man and his work.
�Margaret Fuller: An American Life� by Megan Marshall (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) � The author, an Emerson College professor, just snagged the Pulitzer for this biography of Margaret Fuller, a woman with an amazing mind who led an eventful life. A trail-blazing feminist and writer of astonishing power, this firebrand went toe to toe with some of the great thinkers of her time and did more than held her own. This biography brings Fuller to life, from her groundbreaking writing in �Conversations,� to the influential magazine she edited, The Dial, to her tragic personal story. If you want to know Emerson and his circle, you must also know Fuller.
�The Annotated Walden, or, Life in the Woods, Together with Civil Disobedience� by Henry David Thoreau (Barnes and Noble Books) � This one I own but have yet to crack. I�ve read �Walden� and other essays by HDT (my favorites are the abolitionist tracts), and found him more genial to my struggling intellect than Emerson. Still, a few notes are always welcome. Another book too big to haul out to Walden Pond, but if you do, you can always use it as a roof to start your own cabin out there, should the need arise.

Let $P$ be the joint distribution of two random variables $X$ and $Y$, that both have support on $(0,1)$ (I am also interested in the case where $X$ takes values on $k$-dimensional simplex, but I would be happy to start with the simple case).
Now, suppose that for all $n,m \in \mathbb{N}$, we have:
$E[X^nY^m] = E[X^n]E[Y^m]$
Is this a sufficient condition for independence of $X$ and $Y$? Are there other conditions I would need?
I suspect that I may need some knowledge of higher order moment problems: does anyone have any suggestions for useful references?

Dear Sil Lai:
I was engaged for 3 years and then walked out because I was looking for the "perfect" relationship/engagement. At the time, I was worried about what other people thought of his social standing, career and other external factors. However, I now realize that those things don't make you happy. Our relationship wasn't always smooth sailing…it was definitely a bumpy ride, but I still find myself constantly think about my ex and dreaming about us getting back together. I've asked but he won't commit to seeing me. He said that I hurt him and he's getting himself together financially and educationally. Every time I'm out with someone else I compare them to my ex. How can I move forward and allow myself to love again?
Moving on can be challenging, especially when you're questioning your decision (which it sounds like you're doing). Coulda, it's brother Woulda and first cousin Shoulda often become our best friends when a relationship ends because hindsight, as they say, is 20/20 vision. You mentioned that there were other issues in the relationship that caused it to be a "bumpy ride". While you didn't go into detail about what those issues were, it sounds like those issues were a contributing factor in your decision to end the engagement.
It's through our losses that we can learn some of life's most valuable lessons and you've learned an important one: how you feel about the man you care about is more important than what "everyone" else thinks about him. It's true that some people are raised to place a high premium on their partner's social standing or profession. But I've seen time and time again over the years that the content of your partner's character is ultimately more important than if he plays golf at a private or public course---or at all. This is something I've learned the hard way.
I once broke off a relationship with a man I really cared about but knew wasn't right for me. Still, that knowledge alone wasn't enough for me to move on. For a couple of years after we split up I found myself being an avid player of the "compare and despair" game. I'd meet someone new and then line them up next to me ex: "Jack is smarter." "Jack knows me better than anyone." "Jack has better pectoral muscles." It seemed for a while that no one was ever going to be able to measure up to The Perfect-In-His-Absence-Ex. It took some time, but I eventually figured out that I wasn't fixated on Jack because of his superior intellect and muscle tone, but because deep down I was terrified of letting someone new in my heart.
It's through our losses that we can learn some of life's most valuable lessons.

Once I realized that it was fear that was holding me back from moving on, I was able to begin the process of letting go, which included the following:
- Stop "spinning" fantasies: It's easy to romanticize the past, especially when you're still single (I like to call this phenomenon "relationship amnesia"). If you find that going down that road, stop and backtrack. Play the whole tape through of your relationship and your ex…not just the good parts.
- Create space: To move on means to let go, which means you need to do whatever it takes to create the mental and physical space for this to happen. Unless you have children or joint business ventures, there is no reason for you to keep in contact with your ex (for the time being). It's time to cut the ties that bind you to him, which means no more calling "just to say hello". Don't email him articles that you think will be helpful for his career. Stop sending him text messages every holiday.
- Stop comparing: It's a game they'll never win. You see, the deck is loaded in your ex's favor, for it's hard to fight a the Ghost of Relationship Past. One of the most valuable tools we have at our disposal is our perspective. The next time you find yourself comparing, STOP. Every person has their strengths and weaknesses. If you're fixated on your ex's strengths, you'll have a hard time appreciating those that are sitting right in front of you at the dinner table.
- "Duty" date: You may not feel like getting out and meeting new people, however if there's been a fair amount of time since you and your ex split up, consider "duty" dating. Don't focus on whether or not each new date is "the one". The purpose of "duty dating" is to get comfortable meeting and spending time with new people. Focus on making a connection and establishing a friendship before jumping into a relationship. Remember, friendship first. Romance second.
- Forgive yourself: No one is born with great relationship skills…they are learned over time, either from experience or our family of origin. No matter

Paul's method of interpretation in Galatians 4:21-31 seems a bit unusual as compared to most modern methods. He says these things may be "interpreted allegorically." What is his method of exegesis? How, for example, does he connect Hagar to Mount Sinai in Arabia?

Good question. There are many fascinating aspects of Paul's hermeneutic that come to the fore here, and we need to do some digging to recognize the source of the connections which he makes.
The context is the most important clue to Paul's line of thinking. He has been telling the Galatians that to turn back to the Law after being set free of it through the grace of Christ is foolish. If the righteous live by faith, those that rely on the law are under condemnation, because man cannot be justified by the law.
With that background, his thinking is more clear. When Paul says, "Now this may be interpreted allegorically: these women are two covenants," he is setting up Sarah as the new covenant in Christ, and Hagar as the old covenant of the Law. As a result, their sons are compared to the fruits of each covenant.
Ishmael, the literal son of a slave, is a slave to the covenant of the Law. The comparison of Hagar to Sinai firmly roots this metaphor, as Sinai is the location where Moses received the Law.
Isaac (v. 28), however, is a child of promise, of the covenant of Christ and has the promise of grace upon him.
Essentially Paul's working thesis boils down to this: Ishmael is a slave to the law which cannot justify him, and Isaac is the son of the promise of justification by faith in Christ which will save. Paul hopes to encourage the Galatians to see the law as bondage, and faith as freedom.
Dockery, David S. "The Pauline Letters". Holman Concise Bible Commentary: Simple, Straightforward Commentary on Every Book of the Bible. Ed. David S. Dockery. Nashville, TN: Broadman & Holman Publishers, 1998.
Martin Luther gives a good explanation in his Commentary on Galatians:
Basically the faith in God's promise of a Messiah, that ancient promise to reverse the sin and 'curse' of Adam and Eve was bound up in in symbol, type, metaphor, in Isaac and God's 'blessing' through that seed. The idea Paul uses in 'exegesis' is that patterns and themes of the Old Testament were prophetic, predicting future realities. The reality of his day is that Jews born of Abraham were rejecting the freedom of Jews converted to God by faith in Christ. These Jews no longer had to carry the burden of so many ceremonial rules and the Jews without faith (associated to the slave woman) persecuted the Jewish Christians and tried to bring them down. Hagar was tying to get power over Sarah by making her son the firstborn over Isaac. The firstborn had double rights of inheritance. Sarah argued with her husband because the promise was from her womb so they decided the only way to have peace was cast out the salve family. In the same way Jewish Christians were to cast out those laws and jealous judgments that the legalistic Jews who had no faith in the promised seed, Christ.
So Paul's method is accurate and convincing, helping the new Jewish believers at that time.
I will try to answer your first question, What is his method of exegesis?
If we figure that the Apostle Paul was "educated at the feet of Gamaliel" about Jewish religious law Acts 23:3. He had to use the the Jewish traditions of interpretation· and exegesis that were used at the time, a very common is the Pardes, an acronym formed from the name initials of the following four approaches:
I suggest Paul is using the second level of interpretation: Remez(allegoric)
Why pardes? because it was a basic method of the time of Paul and his school (Hillel, Gamaliel), ignore the traditions of interpretation· and exegesis that were used at the time, is to miss a very important tool for understanding the Word of God. Apostle Paul used a lot of references from Rabbinic traditions
Paul's allegory
Paul is interpreting the voice of the judge from the four voices (Prophet, Priest, King, Judge) contained in the OT allegory. He is deriving it's meaning from the text rather than imposing his own meaning upon it. However, he is imposing what he knows of Christ and the gospel upon it as he understands that they are shadows 'of the good things coming' (He 10.1) and can now be properly interpreted in light of Christ. This imposition is not 'forced'. It is validated by the text itself. Paul's allegory is not complete, but merely an example of the method used, by which we can see more details of the allegory.
Gal 4.19 ¶ My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
My little children – Paul sets the stage for the allegory he will present. The Galatians are his children under the promise in the same manner that Ishamel was a child of the law, and Isaac was a child of the promise.
20 I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.
change my voice – perhaps refering to taking the tone and sense of the judge.
21 ¶ Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
hear the law – the law is a reference to the first five books, or to the full collection of scripture from the OT. Since Paul will include references to Isaiah, he is using the latter.
22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman - Although we might dismiss this as a repetition of fact, I cannot find a reference to Sarah as a freewoman, so Paul has already started the interpretation. Her name means 'noblewoman' which is obvious to Jewish children. He is comparing the state of the two women without naming them. Hagar is known to be the handmaid, and by the interpretation of her name and by her actual status, Sarah is the 'noblewoman' or 'freewoman'.
23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
but he of the bondwoman - Ishmael composed of ee – he, shama – harken/obey, el – God . By virtual of his name, he represents the law of God which must be obeyed. By this Paul associated Ishamel with the law.
born of the flesh – Paul has extensively used the Christian dualism of flesh and spirit elsewhere. Ishamael was born of the contrivances of Sarai and Abram in contrast to Isaac who was born by the promise (or the spirit) of God.
24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
from Mt Sanai - Ishmael was born under the covenant of Mt Sanai, specifically the Leverite marriage De 25.5-6.
gendereth (begets) to bondage – The Leverite marriage is commanded and disgrace is given to those who don't perform their duty.De 25.9-10
25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
Agar - the subroot GR meaning sojourn gives her name the meaning she sojourns which is given in dictionaries as flight. A sojourner is one who does not belong here. It is a temporary state. And as in the NT, we a sojourners are in the flesh.
mount Sinai - thorny interpreted by Jesus's parable of the sower validates that cares of the world ensnare the flesh.
Arabia – mixed, desert The meaning of the word confirms the allegory of desolation by the flesh.
I will come back to do the rest when I can. Paul also uses a quote 'out of context' from Isaiah because the Hebrew perspective is that there is only one author and one context.
This can be done from Genesis, but it is a very long story which has a second narrative behind it. From that angle, Paul's hermeneutic is easy to see.
Also see the blessing of Ishmael: Ge 27:40 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
When Ishamel (law) has dominion, there is no grace. (The yoke of Christ is broken "My yoke is light")

Staff Writer
Once Josh Moore was tall enough to reach his grandmother's stove, he knew he wanted to cook for a living. But the executive chef and partner at Volare Ristorante has since become much more than a culinary artist. He's also an accomplished agriculturist, who's bringing the food from his farm straight to Volare's tables.
Around the time Moore began working at the Frankfort Avenue restaurant in 2006, he purchased a former dairy farm in Taylorsville, Ky., and became inspired to harvest his own vegetables during the summer and fall. "The first year, I put out a couple dozen tomato plants, and then I was just like it'd be nice to have my own tomatoes at the restaurant, and it went over so well and guests loved it, so the next year I put out some squash, some zucchini and cucumbers … and then it's just grown every year," said the cuisinier, whose mother grew Sunflowers and Morning Glories, while his dad raised tobacco and cattle, plus drew hay when Moore was younger.
On Chef Moore's 10-acre farm, you'll not only find a one-acre garden for farming tomatoes and other vegetables, but an orchard filled with apple, cherry, plumb and pear trees. He's also begun cultivating a berry patch featuring blue, black and raspberries. "It's been a trial-and-error, learning experience for me," Moore said. "I wasn't a gardener or grower of stuff before I bought this place."
In just its second year, Moore's farm has expanded substantially with the help of his four-year-old son Gibson and girlfriend Lindsay Franzen, who is the "official tomato picker." Moore's colleagues at Volare also lend a hand with keeping up the land, a daunting task with Moore having added about twice as many plants to the current year's patch.
"It's a lot of fun," Moore said. "It's a lot of work; overwhelming at times, for sure. All the guys at the restaurant, the kitchen guys, they'll come out a couple times a year and help me get the weeding caught up or they'll come out in the spring and help me plant."
Moore sells some of his harvest to Volare, where he uses fruit from his orchard in decadent pies and sauces, such as a grilled pear jalapeño chutney on a sea bass, and offers vegetables including cabbage, broccoli and Swiss chard as delicious daily specials. The tomatoes, however, have been Moore's prized specialty.
"I work what I bring out of the garden into specials," said Moore, who maintains his garden with only organic sprays. "The tomatoes are in a Mediterranean tomato salad all summer. I put out about 30 different varieties."
An obvious supporter of local food, Moore also purchases edibles from Carol and Bruce Friedman of Canmer, Ky. "I've always been really into local," he said of his recent interest in farming. "For me, I'm just very passionate about the food we serve at the restaurant, how everything's prepared, and to be able to actually grow it from seed and bring it to the restaurant and know how it's been handled, and how it's been grown. That was the thing for me, just a pride thing."
With a hugely successful year under his belt, Moore is looking to continue building on his farm, with an ultimate goal of adding about two more acres of garden and another acre to the orchard. He'd also like to eventually raise cattle and horses. Yet, for now his next venture is replacing his 62-year-old tractor. "My next big goal is to buy a new tractor that starts every time I turn the key and operates better," he laughed.
From spending a few hours on the farm each day to cooking at Volare, serving as Lead Chef of the March of Dimes annual Signature Chef event and raising his son, Moore is left with a fairly hectic schedule. But the final outcome, he assures, is well worth the new, busy lifestyle.
"There's days it's like I've got a party of 100 at the restaurant and meetings and still have to come out in the garden and work in the morning," Moore said. "And (it's tough), but, overall, it's very rewarding, and it's been a great thing to start. I'm looking forward to next year adding onto it even more."

Confirm the color toner currently displayed on the LCD is the same color as the
toner cartridge that was replaced. Be sure to read the scrolling message
that appears after Replace Toner. The scrolling message specifies
which color needs to be replaced.
If YES, the color toner on the LCD is the same color
toner that was just replaced, go to STEP 2.
If NO, the color toner currently on the display is NOT
the same as the color toner that was replaced, a replacement toner for the
color currently on the display must be installed to clear the message. It

a. The
toner cartridges provided in the box with a new machine are NOT new STANDARD
toners. These are considered starter toners and the only time they are to
be installed and used is when the machine is first set up.
b. A

brand new, out-of-the box standard Brother toner (TN210) should be installed to
clear the Replace Toner message. Do NOT install a Starter toner or
a previously installed or used toner cartridge as a replacement toner. Our
standard toner cartridges are manufactured with a reset lever that moves when
installed into the machine and triggers a notification that a new cartridge has
been inserted. This mechanically triggers the machine to reset the
Replace Toner message.
The Brother starter toner cartridges are not manufactured with the reset
lever and will not clear the message.
A used or already installed toner cartridge does NOT have the reset lever
in the right position to trigger the machine to reset. The toner reset
lever was already shifted when initially installed into a machine and will not
have the lever in the proper position if installed again. This means the
machine will not clear the Replace Toner message.
Because a remanufactured, refilled or non-Brother toner is not
manufactured by Brother, we cannot guarantee the performance of the toner or its
ability to operate properly with our machine.
If a brand new, out-of-the box Brother Standard toner cartridge was
installed, go to STEP 3.

I have a Dell Poweredge running Ubuntu 13.04 in my office to serve up an interal web-app address system. It has been at least a 2 months possibly 3 since my last login. Everything is running great, but I can not login. I know I have the correct credentials because they are saved in putty.

What could possibly cause this to happen? Can it be fixed without pulling it off the shelf and hooking up monitors and keyboards etc (as a side-note it weighs something like 50+ pounds so I am not looking forward to that at all)?

The 6 Most Baffling Things Every TV Ad Assumes Are True
#3. Cosmetics and Candy Are the Same
After a meal of pet food, there's nothing sweeter than washing it down with a bottle of lotion. For some inexplicable reason, cosmetics are marketed as candy. While it likely appeals to a feminine aspiration toward sweetness, its real-world conclusion can't be anything short of a man eating a woman's face. In advertisers' quest to market makeup as dessert, chocolate and foundation are the worst culprits. They maintain identical properties in commercials...
Well, they both look delicious.
...both defying gravity while flowing in aimless streams, both only existing in front of non-descript backgrounds with no horizon.
The correlation between cosmetics and dessert is so long standing it's deserving of a whole new article, or at the very least, a quiz. So here's a quiz, it is literally the least I could do:
Play: Makeup or Candy?
#2. Your Feet Are Haunted
Ads want to warn you that at some point in your life, your feet will fuck you. Everyone will inevitably get athlete's foot or foot fungus and it's literally crippling. Your symptoms will parallel those of Regan from The Exorcist: they will spew green liquid...
...deadly gas will emanate from everything they touch...
...and sometimes they will spontaneously burst into flames.
It gets worse. On a microscopic level your feet already look like the surface of hell. Fungus is actually just a bunch of tiny, hideous demons that love it there, prying open your toenails and scratching at the soft skin underneath with no foreseeable gain on their end.
The commercials offer solutions but the symptoms they've manufactured are so horrifying that it seems impossible that some spray or a pill could ever work. You need a priest. Or you need to quit standing on Indian burial grounds. It's not clear why commercials are set on scaring the hell out of us when it comes to feet, maybe because they know most of us already have an uneasy relationship with that part of our body and it's easy to attack, or maybe they are trying to curb foot fetishists from producing nightmares like this:
#1. Your Body Is Filled With Windshield Wiper Fluid
By far the most baffling commercial pretense is the one surrounding bodily fluids. There are likely hundreds of little girls across the country with both network television and bashful mothers who have no idea their first period won't be the color and consistency of mouthwash. I'm sympathetic to an advertiser's squeamishness around showing a pad actually at work, but the fact that they've apparently settled on Windex as the stand in for all nasty bodily fluids is more than a little odd.
It extends further than just periods too, diaper commercials have hopped on board with the conceit that leaking blue anything is OK for any living creature.
So why stop there? Why don't commercials show the durability of Kleenex by blowing blue fluid through facial tissues? Or the power of condoms by shooting blue water into the reservoir tip? What do the Adventure Golf putt-putt courses smell like in the diaper ad universe? Then again, if ads insist that blue is the all-encompassing color of human secretion, I hate to think what flavor blue raspberry is actually supposed to be.

Thought my space heater had died when I plugged it in and it wouldn't turn on, not even the "on" indicator light, so I went out and bought a new one. When the new one wouldn't work either, I tested the outlet and a lamp worked just fine. Carried the heater around the house and had no problem with the heater working in other outlets -- just not in the room where I want it!
The outlet contacts may be too dirty to carry a heavy load. Or they may be loose. Or the wires to the outlet may be loose either at the outlet or the in the breaker/fuse panel. I would recommend not using this outlet for anything until the point of cause is determined and corrected.

I have started reading about HMM it gives an intuitive idea about what HMM is all about. I am looking out for example where its applied to Equity model using R / Excel. The material which I read so far is about its application to speech recognition.
Systematic Investor also did a two part series implementation in R which is also quite helpful as he details the pitfalls too.
Post One: http://systematicinvestor.wordpress.com/2012/11/01/regime-detection/
Part Two: http://systematicinvestor.wordpress.com/2012/11/15/regime-detection-pitfalls/
The clearest and most intuitive article I have seen so far is
It not only shows how you can use HMM for financial modelling but it also goes through the actual estimation algorithm (Baum-Welch) step-by-step and even gives full MATLAB-code.
From the abstract:
I brought the paper to the attention of the renowned blog Quantivity and they started a series on reproducing the results in R: Here.
(I am not aware of a freely accessible copy of the paper - if you find one, please include it in a comment - I will change the answer accordingly.)
For your own experiments with HMM in R you can use the RHmm package.
Have a look at the following two papers, one from Chris Rogers and Liang Zhang where they introduce a model using HMM which captures stylized facts of financial returns. And the second where we extended this model to risk measures.
Implementation in R is strait forward using ML as mentioned in the paper.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A group that supports the sale of wine in Oklahoma grocery stores is launching a signature drive to allow voters to decide whether the state's largest counties should have the option.
Oklahomans for Modern Laws filed their initiative petition Tuesday with the Secretary of State's office. The group now has 90 days to gather signatures from about 155,000 registered voters in the state to have the issue placed on the November ballot.
If approved by voters, the state's 15 largest counties could hold an election to determine if wine sales would be allowed in grocery stores. Under current law, wine and beer in excess of 3.2 percent alcohol can only be sold in liquor stores.
The most populated Texoma county is Carter County, which ranked 16th according to the 2010 Census.

Sencha Cmd should support sandboxed packages
Is it possible to use Sencha Cmd with a sandboxed build of Ext JS (e.g. ext-all-sandbox-dev.js)? I'm using Sencha Cmd 188.8.131.52.
I think a config option like jsduck'sCode:
Is something like this going to be implemented or will I need to migrate my app to Ext JS 4 before using Cmd?Thorben

We have discussed sandbox mode and there are a couple or so directions it could go.
I am curious to know more specifically what you are wanting to achieve. I assume you have a mixture of v3 and v4 classes? Are you wanting to produce a subset of the frameworks? And wrap the v4 subset in a sandbox...Don Griffin

Yes, we've got a mixture of Ext 3 and Ext 4 classes. We are continually migrating to Ext 4, so the number of Ext 3 classes will eventually approach 0 .
What we want to achieve is a custom build of only the Ext 4 part of the app. In the final build, there will be 3 or 4 JS files
- Ext JS 3 Framework (ext-all.js)
- All our custom Ext JS 3 classes (this is generated using the current build process)
- Ext JS 4 Framework + Ext JS 4 custom classes (this should be the output of Sencha Cmd)
I imagine this might just be a minor tweak to the tool, but maybe sandboxing is more complicated internally?Thorben

It is all doable, but won't make in this release (3.0.0). Knowing that there are folks using/needing this support is really helpful though to decide when to pull the trigger on it.
I'm going to open this as a ticket so we can both track it.

Any update on this issue ? Is it possible with the latest Sencha Cmd 22.214.171.1242 release ? This is vital functionality for being able to port a legacy ExtJS 3.x application to ExtJS 4.x and a Sencha Cmd based build.

To get around this I ended up taking the sliced images from a non-sandboxed version of our theme that I generate and incorporate those images as the images for the sandboxed theme. When generating the theme with the sandbox I just use
sencha package build
The main downfall of this is that we can't take advantage of minimizing the js or css sent to the page as we use ext-all-sandbox.js and <theme-name>-all.css.
28 Nov 2013 4:22 AM #9
There are still issues with sandboxed mode in Sencha Cmd v22.214.171.124.
On sencha app refresh bootstrap.js still contains references to
Ext.Loader.addClassPathMappings Ext.ClassManager.addNameAlternateMappings Ext.ClassManager.addNameAliasMappings Ext.setVersion
ReferenceError: Ext is not defined Ext.Loader.addClassPathMappings({ bootstrap.js (line 7)
But I'd like this to be fixed properly.

Looks like sandboxed mode works differently. In dev mode you are still using normal mode, but building for production environment adds magic around your source code. This worked for me.

I'd heard that New Orleans residents are more New York- than Southern-sounding. Recently, I saw some of the Khan Academy videos, and noticed that Salman Khan, who, as Wikipedia says, is from New Orleans, does not sound even remotely Southern. Is this the typical New Orleans accent? Here's one of his videos.

I'll agree that he doesn't sound remotely Southern, nor does he have a New Orleans accent.
Here is a montage of New Orleans accents.
Khan's accent is fairly neutral to these Midwestern ears.
Well, if we are going by famous people the best matches for a New Orleans accent would actually be Emeril Lagasse or Winton Marsalis. They definitely speak New Orleans's accent and yes, that dialect does have things in common with a NYC accent, such as replacing th at the beginning of a word with the letter d. ( "These," "Them," and "Those" become "Dese," "Dem," and "Dose".) The reason for this has to do with the original settlers of these cities, the Dutch and the French, the people who would go on to influence the accent. Neither the Dutch nor the French language have a dental fricative th and so naturally when a native speaker of either tongue tries to pronounce it it usually comes out as a d sound. So today, New Orleans can sound quite like New York.

Within the answers to these questions, references will be made to South Dakota Codified Law (SDCL) 36-20B and Administrative Rule of South Dakota (ARSD) 20:75, which are the South Dakota laws and rules governing the practice of accounting in South Dakota.
If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Board office. We are here to provide assistance to you. Helping you understand the accountancy laws and rules governing the accounting profession helps us to promote the Board's mission of public protection.
If I am working for a licensed CPA firm, when am I required to get a certificate and/or a permit to practice?
An individual employed by a licensed firm is required to obtain a certificate within 90 days of meeting the experience requirement. There is a $50 additional fee for failing to apply for the certificate within the 90 day period allowed.
If I am not working for a licensed CPA firm, is there a deadline to apply for my CPA certificate?
The Board requires an applicant to apply for a certificate within three years from the time of passing the CPA exam. After three years the exam application expires, and exam grades are nullified, unless the applicant can show the Board good cause for not applying within the three year period.
What is the experience requirement for a license to practice?
The experience requirement is 2,000 hours of accounting experience. The experience must be completed in no less than one year and no more than three years. To perform attest functions, the experience requirement is 375 hours in compilations, audits or reviews in any combination. You are required to apply for a certificate and pass the AICPA ethics exam within 90 days of completing the experience requirement.
How do I verify these hours to the Board?
A Certificate of Experience form should be obtained from the Board office. This form should be completed by the applicant and certified by a certified public accountant.
Can the experience be fulfilled in less than an actual one year period?
Yes, if you accumulate 2,000 hours in less than a one- year period, you should request and complete a Certificate of Experience form at that time. You are required to apply for a certificate and pass the AICPA ethics exam within 90 days of completing the experience requirement.
If I hold a CPA license in another state in good standing and transfer to South Dakota to practice public accounting, will the Board grant me a South Dakota certificate to practice?
Regardless of whether the state you are from is substantially equivalent, you may be issued a license in SD if you:
If you will be performing attest work you will need to verify to the Board that you have 375 hours in compilations, audits and/or reviews by submitting a certificate of experience form provided by the Board.
What is required for me to use the CPA designation?
Anyone registered in an active status with the Board of Accountancy may use the CPA designation. Active status does require compliance with the continuing professional education requirement established by the Board.
A CPA who does not perform or offer to perform accounting services to the public may file their certificate "inactive" with the Board. An "inactive" status does not require the CPA to comply with the CPE requirements; however, you must include the caveat "inactive" in the same size font next to your designation wherever it is displayed, except on your certificate.
An individual holding a valid South Dakota certificate must register with the Board annually in either an active, inactive or retired status. If the individual does not wish to maintain his certificate in good standing, he must relinquish the certificate to the Board. Individuals holding a certificate from another state must either register the certificate with the South Dakota Board or sign an affidavit stating they will not use the CPA designation while in South Dakota.
What is the CPE requirement for an active CPA certificate?
The holder of an active CPA certificate must comply with the 120 hour CPE requirement. A minimum of 20 hours per year must be reported, and 120 hours must be obtained in a rolling three year period.
The reporting period is from July 1 to June 30 each year, and the format for reporting is on the back of your annual renewal notice.
If you are filing "active" and are not practicing public accounting, the Board will broadly interpret qualifying CPE based on your industry or profession. The criteria used to determine qualifying CPE for a licensee not working in public accounting is a course of study which elevates the licensee's current level of knowledge relevant to their employment. The limit of 24 hours in a three year period for motivational and/or behavioral courses has been removed for individuals working in the private sector.
Does the three year renewal cycle start over every three years?
No. CPE is figured on a rolling three year cycle. Each June 30, you must have a total of at least 120 hours when you add the current year just ending and the previous two years. Each year, the previous third total drops off. You always count the current year and the previous two years.
What happens if I am not able to acquire the minimum number of hours?
If you are going to be short hours, you should contact the Board office as soon as possible and explain the situation. ARSD 20:75:04:11 allows for extensions to complete CPE hours. A 30 to 90 day extension period may administratively be granted on a one time basis. Good cause is defined as personal emergency, acts of God or administrative errors by the Board. If you need further extensions, you need to petition the Board explaining your reasons and request the period of time you feel is required to complete the CPE needed.
How do I know if a course qualifies as CPE?
ARSD 20:75:04:02 describes the general qualifying criteria of continuing professional education. It must be a program of formal learning that directly contributes to the professional competence of a licensee in the practice of accountancy. A program that promotes professional competence in the practice of accountancy is defined as one that refers to the process, methods, or principles of accounting or directly relates to the licensee's employment and is above the level of the licensee's current knowledge. The course provider should provide a completion certificate and retain an attendance sheet for four years. The Board accepts QAS and registry approved courses that are in compliance with our rules. The courses can be verified at http://www.LearningMarket.org.
What documentation is required to be kept to validate a CPE course? (ARSD 20:75:04:14)
The following documentation of a CPA's or PA's participation in sponsored learning activities should be retained by the CPA or PA for four years:
- Name and address of CPE sponsor.
- Title and description of content.
- Dates of program.
- Location of program.
- Number of credits.
Any CPA or PA claiming continuing professional education provided by informal organizations must maintain documentation as required by ARSD 20:75:04:19 and 20:75:04:20.
What is acceptable evidence of completion of a CPE course? (ARSD 20:75:04:15)
Should I submit documentation when I report my hours at renewal time?
No, this is not necessary. Please keep accurate records of the CPE reported to the Board. In the event you are chosen for our annual CPE audit, you will be requested to provide documentation to substantiate your CPE claims.
If I hold a reciprocal license in South Dakota, do I have to maintain my license in the state for which I was granted the reciprocal license?
South Dakota does not require you to maintain your license in the state by which you were granted reciprocity. However, the Board highly recommends you check with the state board where you were originally licensed to ensure compliance with their licensing regulations. Many states require licensees to maintain their licenses in either an active or inactive status regardless of whether or not they live or practice in that state.
Allowing your license to lapse may subject you to fines for unpaid fees, and in some cases, you may have to re-sit for the Uniform CPA Examination to renew your license in that state at a later date.
South Dakota is keenly aware of the mobility issues facing CPAs and thereby allows CPAs no longer engaged in performing or offering to perform accounting services to the public several options. A CPA may register his or her certificate in an inactive status, by submitting the form and paying the $50 filing fee. This status exempts the CPA from compliance with the Continuing Professional Education requirement. If the CPA is 55 or older and no longer performs or offers to perform accounting services to the public, he or she may file in a retired status, by filing the "retired" form provided by the Board and paying the reduced fee of $10.
A final option to CPAs would be to relinquish the certificate. An example of a case where a CPA may wish to relinquish his certificate would be if he no longer practices or has clients in South Dakota and has moved to another state where he is currently complying with the accountancy laws in that state.
The South Dakota Board maintains relinquished certificates on file in the Board office and will return them upon the fulfillment of the respective requirements for an active, inactive or retired status. If a CPA chooses to relinquish his or her South Dakota certificate, the individual should first check with any states in which reciprocity has been granted based on his or her good standing in South Dakota. Many states granting reciprocity require CPAs to maintain their license in an active status in the original state in which they were licensed.

Most important thing, from my personal experience is that instead of making water tight compliance to some format allow people do document this like a running diary making only few things mandatory and let people pour in more information freely. Testing is never static (at least for any reasonably complex project) so over time all these template must evolve continuously - quite often every next step could be a major departure from the last one. If either the templates are stale, or people do not follow that because it is too rigid, eventually much of the relevant knowledge through testing procedure won't be reflected right.
The answer greatly depends on what the software does, how it is designed, and even the industry the software will be used in. Some industries have very extensive regulatory requirements for test documentation & validation, for example FDA CFR 21 Part 11in the Pharma and Biotech industries.
Also, consider that even if your organization would religiously follow all the relevant IEEE standards for testing documentation, such as:
there is a plethora of directly and indirectly related documents and standards you should also define and use, like:
If all of those IE3 standards look insurmountable - especially for smaller organizations and teams - have a look at the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge which is less "scientific" and more concise.
Finally, to some extent, using ALM tools that keep electronic records of tests in stead of formal documents is a perfectly valid alternative as long as you have procedures that define a standardized use.
Did you look at IEEE 829-1998, Standard for Software Test Documentation? I know that in my company the test documents in this standard are used to describe the entire testing strategy. For example, the Master Test Plan will actually include information on testing automation in the approach section.
In my project, the automation tests are essentially documented using the same means as manual tests. In addition to all the other information, we also point to the test case in code.
We maintain an automation suite which the whole team knows how to execute. With both these pieces of information, any member on the team is able to identify the test case as well as run it.
Also, like our production code, we also version and review the automated test cases. These serve as living documentation for the code representation of the test.
So in a way, we are reusing our documentation ways for manual tests and production code for automated tests.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) -- Kentucky State Police say on Tuesday at 6:45 P.M., they responded to the William Natcher Parkway regarding a single vehicle injury collision.
According to troopers, Anneta Fields, 70 Hendersonville, TN, was operating a 2008 Ford south on the William Natcher Parkway at the 35 mile point.
KSP says Fields dropped off left shoulder, over-corrected crossing both southbound lanes. She then struck an embankment, overturned at least one time, and struck a guardrail. She came to final rest on her passenger side and became entrapped.
Fields was freed by mechanical means and flown by Air Evac to Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville with back, arm, and chest pain.

Is there any setting/plugin/hack/workaround that will allow me to run Ubuntu with the Gnome 3.x/Gnome Shell desktop while retaining a 2x2 or n x m workspace grid instead of the default Gnome one-dimensional line-up of workspaces?
Pre-GNOME-Shell 13.10: With a combination of two extensions, it is possible. The downside is that you will have a bottom bar.
My blog post explains various ways on how to do this, including getting rid of the bottom bar (included below).
For 13.10, 13.12: Go to extensions.gnome.org and find Frippery Bottom Panel. Install it. This will give you a bottom bar. Clicking on the right side will give you an option to disable dynamic workspaces and allows you to set number of rows and columns.
The cleanest way of getting rid of the bottom bar is by editing
and on line 6, change the height to
Credit goes to Brian McSweeney.
There is now the plugin Workspace Grid, which seems to do the job.
It works for 3.8, but I not immediately for 3.10, 3.12. For those versions, I use the currently accepted answer.
I was actually looking at this today, and the short answer is no. A hacky workaround is to have a gnome-panel running, with the
I used to have a hack that was a daemon running in the background, which would handle this for me, so I wouldn't need the workspace switcher applet. It doesn't work any more though. However, I'll be rewriting it soon, so that it works again with GNOME 3.x, and using dconf/gsettings. It will only be configurable from editing the settings directly using the gsettings command line tool, or dconf-editor, though.
You can get a 1X1 workspace grid using the new WorkspaceBar extension I wrote. I will look into adding a 2X2 option if people want it. It would be small little buttons to fit on the panel.

Former CNN and new BET anchor T.J. Holmes was pulled over a mile away from his Atlanta home Monday morning and quickly took to Twitter to tell followers about the incident.
Holmes tweeted a picture of a cop car in his side mirror with the caption "Driving while black ain't no joke."
One of the officers who pulled him over was black.
The 34-year-old said that one of the officers, though he did not specify which, had difficulty telling him why he was pulled over.
"This is a damn shame. Officer is literally stumbling over his words trying to explain why he stopped me," Holmes tweeted.
Holmes tweeted that the officer said he "wanted to make sure [Holmes] had insurance on the car."
"I kid you not," Holmes added.
"Still pissed beyond words right now," Holmes concluded. "But Lord knows I'm not the only this will happen to today."
Holmes, who left CNN in December 2011, will launch his new show, "Don't Sleep!" on BET this October.
"Don't Sleep!" will feature "smart, biting social commentary on significant issues important to African Americans" that "mainstream media tends to disregard,"says BET.

YEDA Center for Technical Communications
EDA's Technical Communication course is based on the idea that effective training can only be acquired through a combination of lecture, student exercises, and extensive instructor feedback on those exercises. The course engages student and instructor in a dialogue that leads to rapid and effective training - the kind of training that makes the graduate an asset to any technical communication team right from the start.
Technical Communications is a broad area - it includes all of the following:
Technical Writing - the area that deals with creating user friendly instructions and reference material
Marketing Communications - the creation of marketing materials that are used to help market and sell products and services
Desktop Publishing - expertise with software tools for creating print and online documentation
YEDA's Technical Communications course prepares students for a career in all of the above areas. This opens up far greater opportunities than a single course in just one area - especially in today's economy where the value of employees is often measured in how quickly they can adapt to new tasks and responsibilities.
Course Structure
The course consists of four modules: Technical Writing, Marcom, Desktop Publishing, and Technology. These four areas overlap and compliment each other in almost any task the technical communicator is required to perform. Here is a brief description of each module - for more in-depth information on each module, click the module links below, or click on an item in the Certificate Program menu.
The Technical Writing module teaches the fundamentals of documenting complex systems in clear, easy to read terms. Students learn how to simplify complicated language, how to investigate a hi-tech system, how to write effective instructions and powerful explanations, and how to write specific sections of a technical manual from simple instructions to complete chapters.
The Marcom module provides very comprehensive training in the art of analyzing target markets, developing powerful messages, and turning the messages into successful copy. The module deals with a wide range of tasks: writing for brochures, press releases, writing a white paper, writing for the web, corporate identity and branding, trade shows, and more.
The Desktop Publishing module enables provides the skills you need to use a wide range of software programs: Word, PowerPoint, RoboHelp, FrameMaker, Acrobat, Screen Capturing, Visio, Author-it, and others. You'll do a lot of hands on exercises with patient help from your instructor/tutor when you get stuck. Learning to use these tools enables the student to build up an impressive portfolio of work.
Lastly, the Technology module is a quick, but comprehensive, course in the key concepts behind today's hi-tech systems. You'll learn to read a C and C++ progrram, to undertand Assembler, and to understand and write about data communication protocols and concepts. As part of this module the student learns how to write API documentation and even produces some samples to add to the portfolio.

Cliques and Fitting In
In This Article:
Although parents can't finagle the coveted top spots of the middle-school heap for their children, they can help them locate a spot for themselves. Furthermore, we can change the way our children perceive themselves and their place on the social ladder.
The starting point lies in guiding your child on an information-gathering mission. Ask him to think about the school cafeteria and the groups that congregate there. You can go into any lunchroom in any part of the country and see a social order. The middle-schoolers know exactly at which table in what part of the room to set down their lunch tray.
According to Colorado sociologists and researchers Patricia and Peter Adler, four basic groups define the middle-school social culture:
Some of these circles are defined by a similar hobby or interest, such as the skateboarders or computer geeks; others are defined by a look and style, such as the Abercrombies (named for the clothing store) or Goths (who dress in black).
As you talk with your child, determine how closely her analysis of her school's social grid follows the Adlers' observations. (Pretty close, we imagine.) Encourage your child to talk with you by asking, "Whatever happened to...," identifying one of her old classmates. Or you can ask her to explain the criteria for admission to the clique. Inevitably, as your child explains the caste system, she will tell you where she fits.
While your child recounts his observations, make sure you tell him how impressed you are with his ability to read the social landscape. Empathize when he groans about the injustices of the powers that be. Above all, get the point across that your child is anything but a social know-nothing -- no matter where he falls on the social ladder.
Let your child know that no matter where she is in the cafeteria hierarchy, there are advantages and disadvantages. The stereotypical winners (those from the popular clique) don't always feel or act like winners, just as the supposed losers (the loners) have winning characteristics.
Young adolescents don't always understand this. As your child leads you on this guided tour of "popularity city," pay attention to what he believes. In all likelihood your child envies the popular girls and boys because they seem to get everything that's fun -- from love letters to top billing in yearbooks to recognition from teachers. Children who dwell in the twosomes or threesomes (friendship circles), revolving around alternative music or the marching band, may miss the perks of higher and cooler ground. The fact is that each and every category carries within it both pluses and minuses.
Understanding this message bolsters, humbles, and stretches every child's self-image. Stress to your child that even popular boys and girls are prone to anxieties and unhappiness. And those kids who seem to have little to offer have potential that may not be realized during middle school or even high school. Reassure your child that every one of his classmates struggles and suffers, even if it isn't obvious.
As you and your middle-schooler probe more deeply into each of these groups, you might point out how those middle-schoolers in friendship circles (which generally constitute 45 percent of a school's population, according to the Adlers) are the most content and have the best self-image. "Individuals in the middle group (the friendship circles) generally (feel) good about themselves," the Adlers concluded. Why? Being able to count on loyalty from their friends and not living with so much anxiety about losing their position in the hierarchy adds up to a healthier self-image and higher self-esteem. The popular types tend to wear anxiety along with the latest fashions. Those in the fringe group live in a state of second-best.
Isolated middle-schoolers are sentenced to loneliness and rejection. It's important for these kids' parents to recognize their plight. These children probably have a hidden talent or unrecognized potential. Plus, they may have the time to devote to improving that skill or talent. Parents need to help such kids identify their hidden assets and find ways to mine those abilities.

The 8 Most Ill-Conceived Product Names of All-Time
If you ever took Marketing 101, chances are you've heard the tale of how the Chevy Nova couldn't sell in South America. The Nova's sales supposedly tanked because the Spanish phrase "no va" literally translates as "no go."
The Chevy story is just an urban legend, but truth is often stranger than fiction. Today, The Goods sponsors our look at some real products out there that are every bit as laughably retarded.
Sometimes language hurdles are to blame, but in most cases we can chalk these names up to good ol' human stupidity.
#8. The TrekStor i.Beat.blaxx
In August 2007, the German electronics manufacturer TrekStor tried to capitalize on the Apple iPod phenomenon with their own MP3 player. But what to name it? They knew they had to get the "i" in front of whatever word they decided on, to bring the iPod to mind. How about "beat" to signify all of the phat beats the customers will play on it? And it's black. Thus,
TrekStor's press release claimed that the device "precisely reflects the desires of the young, trend-conscious target group we are aiming for." And by that target group, they apparently meant the Klan.
The ensuing shitstorm caught TrekStor by surprise. The company's president tried to smooth things over in a letter explaining that the word "beat" is "not meant as a verb, but refers to the beats of the music you are listening to." And to be fair, the guy had to wonder what the same protesters thought they would find in the pages of Black Beat magazine.
Knowing that this explanation would placate absolutely no one (barring that small contingent of confused, hip-hop-loving Klansmen)...
... TrekStor immediately rechristened the gadget the "TrekStor blaxx," a name which we presume would've replaced "Geordi La Forge" had Dolemite starred in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
"La Forge, muthafucka!"
#7. Retardex
Retardex toothpaste is the first line of defense against bad breath and cavity-causing bacteria. It's also the most poorly named oral hygiene product since the Gator Gripper, a terrifying children's tooth extractor that is one part Tooth Fairy, two parts Yakuza loan shakedown.
Retardex is a British brand, so we can't blame a poor translation here. We scoured the Retardex website for the origin of this dentifrice's imbecilic name and didn't find an explanation. Is it from a simpler time? When did the word "retard" ever have a positive connotation? Yes, we get that it "retards" the progress of tooth decay, so we guess you can justify it in the same way you could justify calling your new ultra-slim LED television an "Anorexiatron."
Hell, in the time we spent writing this, we came up with half a dozen more marketable names; including Dentodex, Mouthoflex and, our favorite, Tyrannosaurusrex.
Patent pending.
#6. K.U.M. Hair Care
In his Web biography, K.U.M. CEO Joseph Chimenti notes his "passion for the hair care profession as evidenced by over 40 years experience covering every aspect of the business." Call us crazy, but we're pretty sure 40 years of experience would tell you not to name your shampoo after dick seed.
How did the K.U.M. line get its lamentable name? Well, the brand harnesses the extract of nature's most mocked fruit, the kumquat.
We're no marketing wizards, but wouldn't have been way less awkward simply to name the brand Q.U.A.T.? Think of the lawsuits (and black eyes) your barber would avoid if he could instead say that he was rubbing a load of refreshing Q.U.AT. into your scalp.
K.U.M. products are sold only to high-end salons, meaning it'll cost you a pretty penny to goop up your coif. You could also save a buck and get that same silky luster using a roomful of onanistic Japanese businessmen.
Some of them will even pay you.
And while we're on the subject, let's go ahead and mention...
#5. Nad's Natural Hair Removal
In 20th century Anglophonic parlance, the word "nads" is short for gonads (a.k.a. balls). Most third grade graduates are aware of this. How the founder of an Australian bikini waxing empire missed the boat is beyond us.
According to the Nad's website, founder Sue Ismiel is "a mother who created an extremely effective, natural, no heat, hair removal product for her young daughter from ingredients she found in her own kitchen." Despite the homespun appeal of this origin story, it teaches us almost nothing about her product. For all we know, Sue was dousing her kid in a cocktail of Tabasco and oven cleaner.
"Hey, a bunch of stuff. I bet I could make some sweet nads outta this."
Perhaps Sue's savvier than we give her credit for. After all, we just gave her depilating gunk a shitload of free publicity just because its name is a euphemism for "scrotum." We think she might be onto something here, so don't be surprised if the site goes through some changes if you check back tomorrow...

So I have heard about a lot of fancy numerical methods for solving ODEs. I know that there are methods that give asymptotically a low error like the Runge-Kutta methods. (Assuming sufficient smoothness.) These estimate the solution in a set of points $t_0$, $t_1$, etc. But what if I want to have a function that is close to the correct solution everywhere, not just in a discrete set of points?
I can extend the numerical solution to a piecewise linear function. This will be a continuous function and it will converge to the correct solution if the step-size goes to zero.
But the error estimate will be poor in most places unless I use a very small step-size, which rather defeats the purpose of using a high-order method. So how does one go about estimating the solution in practice between the $t_i$?

There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
One tip I've heard is to build as much of the game as possible before looking for artists. Build the game with placeholder art before you post about the game so that artists can get a feel for the game, its play style and environment, etc before building assets for it. They can also use the prototype to decide if it's a project they'd actually like to work on.
Another tip I've heard is to avoid asking for people to "join your team" as this seems "noobish". Instead post the prototype and say that you need an artist or artists to finish it. If you post at the right communities someone will almost always come along that is interested.
You can, of course, pay an artist per asset, etc from a more "professional" site. This is really a personal choice. Modelers, musicians, voice actors, etc can all be hired from sites that can be found with some quick googling. However keep in mind that you should still provide these people with as much of a game as possible so they can create something that "fits". You can also easily determine if a model will deform properly, light well, etc before accepting the asset if you have build as much of the game as possible beforehand.
One final note, if you are building any artist tools: be sure to have them rock solid and well documented before sending them to an artist, or you will waste time and money sending them revised versions of the tool or having them rebuild assets.
Artists are generally as lousy and unreliable as the client is, so the answer is to be professional and to look for professionals.
I second a lot of things David said in his post about Networking - this is the only way you will find reliable artists to work on your game for little to no money. But I will add some tips as well:
Hope this helps!
I find it very difficult to randomly jump on a project with a random individual for free.
You may find someone willing to join your project for free but they will likely have little to no experience and there is no promise they'll stick around.
My single, biggest piece of advice to find artist's (or programmers, or audio guys, or ... :
GDC isn't in everyone's bag-o-tricks so I'd be on the look-out for any game development related events around you.
If you're in school you can try to put together a meet-up on your campus to bring people out.
Get yourself out on the web and abuse the forums around you. If you've seen an artist's work send them a message and say hi. They might not be available but they may know a few artists that are.
While you're developing, thing about starting a development journal on gamedev.net or blog. My dev journal was what led me to join an independent team from a friendship that sparked.

Contract Work
The answer depends on exactly your intention. The more control you want to have, the more you have to be bringing to the table. For example, you could build the game using placeholder art and then try to find a talented artist to polish all the graphics. Similarly, if you pay them (up-front cash, not a percentage of future profits) then by definition you are bringing money to the table.
If however you want to recruit an artist from the beginning then don't expect to direct everything. They will want and rightly expect a lot of creative control; after all, the project is as much a speculative venture for them as it is for you.
It is simply impossible to know with 100% certainty how well someone will work out until you work with them on something, so the way around this Catch-22 is find people to do small projects and only do big projects with people you've already done small projects with. Doing a small project it's okay if things go south and you have to lick your wounds to start over with someone else.
