Possible bug in "sencha app upgrade"
It seems that "sencha app upgrade" has some problems removing the previous touch files (and thus not copying in new ones), if hidden files have been added somewhere down the directory tree.
I noticed this after having added the touch folder subversion (thereby adding ".svn"-folders in every folder). Forcibly removing the touch directory, and re-running "sencha app upgrade" worked fine.
System info:
Upgrade was from ST 2.1 to 2.2.
Sencha Cmd v22.214.171.124
java version "1.7.0_10"

I generated a new app using Cmd 126.96.36.1994 and Touch 2.1.1. I created a .foo directory in the touch directory of the generated app. I then ran an app upgrade to Touch 2.2.0 but the .foo directory was not in the touch directory anymore.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

Iron Supplement Is Causing Constipation
Q: My child's pediatrician prescribed iron for my daughter. The iron makes her constipated and I have stopped giving it to her. I'm having trouble getting her bowel movements back to normal. Is there any way I can give her the iron and combat constipation at the same time?
A: Iron supplements are prescribed for treatment of anemia (low red blood-cell count), which is common in children. It is true that large doses of iron can cause constipation, which may cause some discomfort, but many children tolerate it quite well. If the stools are hard, and your daughter is having discomfort, give the iron to her at one-half or one-third the recommended dosage, and then work up to the full dosage over two to three weeks. In this way, the body gets the iron in smaller amounts, and the intestine has time to adapt. I have found that when you start the iron at a low dose like this, it does not cause painful constipation. Be sure to ultimately get up to the recommended amount of iron in order to cure her anemia.
There are other things you can do to help relieve constipation. You don't mention your daughter's age, but presuming she is old enough to eat table food, there are a number of foods that will help to keep the stools soft and moving. Fruits and vegetables are always good choices, and "P" fruits such as prunes, plums, and pears add lots of fiber that helps. Drinking some water every day goes a long way toward keeping the stools soft, too. If your child is a least a year old, you can have her drink four ounces of water two or three times a day.
If your daughter still has significant complaints from constipation, you should talk with her doctor about it.

The Power Tour - Trucks On The Power TourWritten by on January 4, 2011 Long Hauling From Newton, Iowa, To Mobile, Alabama
Back in early January, I decided to roll with this year's Hot Rod Magazine Power Tour. Since the tour's route was from the Midwest to the Deep South, my hope was to see and photograph a good selection of trucks from America's midsection. I registered, secured motel reservations for the nightly stops, and promptly forgot about it for the next several months. You know the drill; a week before the event I started some serious hustle to prepare for the trip. The night before leaving from upstate New York, I loaded up my '58 Chevy Apache Fleetside longbed after finishing the A/C installation earlier that day. I left early the next morning and worked my way west on I-70 to Indianapolis, then up I-74 to camp for the night somewhere past Peoria, Illinois. The following day, I arrived in Newton, Iowa; the starting point for the 2010 Power Tour.
Newton proved to be a great starter; locals went all-out to see that the PT folks had a great time. After "Long Haulers"-those intending to complete the run to Mobile-registered on Saturday, they could cruise around the 7/8-mile oval Iowa Speedway track, or drag race on a 1/8-mile track set up on pit row. My goal was to complete the entire tour in good order, and since I built my Fleetside for distance cruising, I opted out of smoking up the Speedway's pit row. However, with her Mustang II front and four-link rear, she handled the banked oval very nicely. Later, from the grandstand, I watched an early '70s Chevy truck and a pair of '53 Dodge Suburbans consistently smoke late-model Mustangs, Camaros, and Chargers. Reminding everyone that classic trucks can do more than look good and haul stuff. One of these killer Dodge Suburbans even made the long haul to Mobile.
The route from Newton took us on a weeklong tour of 1,368 miles on mostly secondary roads to six different venues and averaged some 230 miles a day. Along the way, we drove through many small towns whose residents lined their main street, offered us free water, took photos, and liberally dispensed "thumb-ups." Imagine a scene from the Boston Marathon, but instead of a mob of runners, substitute a semi-orderly flow of classic cars and trucks moving through a downtown area.
As the photo coverage that follows displays, there were many custom classic trucks on the Power Tour. These are drivers; built for reliable cruising. When car or truck breakdown occurred, fellow Power Tourians stopped and helped to make repairs. At a watering hole the night before we set out, I was told that if a driver makes a pit stop along the side of the road, five or ten following cars will stop to offer assistance. Trip wisdom has it that this is a common rookie mistake. It's really a cautionary tale, but anyone pulling off to the shoulder has to continually give a thumbs-up signal if he or she does not actually need assistance.
As you might imagine, there are many benefits to signing on to the Long Haul. You get to see other parts of the county, and you have time to examine in detail a great number of customs that you have not seen before. You meet folks from all over the country, and get to know many of them while stopped at the many venues and particularly after the day's events at motel parking lots. On the road, drivers sort themselves out in terms of whatever speed they are comfortable with, and you will see trucks with virtually every group. At times, there are "bottlenecks" through small towns at red lights, stop signs, or at train crossings. This is just part of the deal, creating space between elements of the convoy. The slowdowns can cause engines to overheat, so if you are thinking about doing a future Power Tour, you need to be sure your cooling system can deal with the summer heat.
From a budget standpoint, many participants told me that they planned to spend between $1,000-$1,500 to complete the Long Haul, with gas and lodging being the major expenses. Many reduce their expenses by sharing a ride, doubling up in modestly priced motel rooms and enjoying free breakfasts, and cooking on a portable grill. Pre-registration for the 2010 Long Haul was $70, and there are always other incidental expenses, but most Long Haulers will tell you this is some of the best money they have ever spent. And many do the tour every year. Some participants, because of work constraints, joined along the way for two or three days, and then returned home; this is a common practice. Those completing the entire Power Tour Route get an award certifying them as a member of the Long Haul Gang.
Next year's Power Tour will apparently end in Detroit, with the starting location and stops along the way remaining to be worked out. The complete route is generally announced sometime in January so if you intend to make the run, you need to secure your motel rooms early. The official site for information about the Power Tour can be found at www.hotrod.com. Another good site for useful information is the unofficial HRPT forum at www.bangshift.com/forums. At these sites, you can get good information about what to expect, local knowledge about best places to stay, and suggestions for what equipment to take.
Running the Power Tour in a custom classic truck is, to my mind, the best way to do the Long Haul. You have room to carry everything you need, including a fullsize cooler, not the dinky things that the muscle car guys are stuck with trying to jam into their trunk with their tool box and suitcase. And people in the Midwest and South love custom classic trucks!
My '58 Fleetside longbed completed the tour without any serious issues, but then I built her for cruising; she is powered by a 5.3L Vortec/4L60E with a 3.25 Currie Ford 9-inch rear. She stayed cool and I averaged a bit over 20 mpg for the whole effort, and 24 mpg on open highways. If you are considering participating in next year's PT, you need to appreciate that afternoon temperatures can really spike in the Midwest and South, so a well functioning air-conditioning system is important. The hurried, knuckle busting effort that I did to get my A/C unit installed right before I left was well worth the effort.

I usually have very little time to get to know a group of people that I'm going to work with during my next project. Even though there probably isn't some research on how this influences productivity, personal experience tells me that good relationships with co-workers can help speed things up. It makes them feel part of the project rather than a mere replaceable tool.
I have a few strategies of my own but they're based in very little experience and they don't work all the time. I'm not looking for new friends but strategies to avoid conflicts from the root so we can focus on getting things done and move on to the next project.

Ah, yes … election time. May the best man win! For the position of North Plains Township clerk, Robert Fahey is your man. Robert Fahey had the experience and knowledge needed to fulfill all that is required of the township clerk.
I have known Robert Fahey for over 10 years and have found him to be sincere, respectable and reliable. His involvement in local government as village clerk, village president and township trustee goes back to the early 1970s and has given him the knowledge and experience necessary in today's local governance. Besides, he's easy to talk to and try listens!
I highly recommend Robert Fahey for the office of township clerk for North Plains Township. Vote for Robert Fahey, the most qualified candidate.
Thank you,

For some time I've been puzzling over just how optional routines work in En Garde!
I'm not even sure I fully understand how the Parry-Reposte routine works, let alone the Optional Block and Optional Parry routines.
Let's say I have the advantage, so start with a short sequence. I might write out the sequence Parry(Repost), Parry(Repost), Lunge, Slash:
If my opponent starts with a Furious Lunge, I believe our sequences would go:
So I would Parry the initial Lunge, which triggers the Reposte, my second Parry would have nothing to protect against, so I would go on to my Slash, meanwhile my opponents Cut would strike me before my Lunge connected.
If my opponent starts with a Furious Slash, I believe our sequences would go:
My parries would not be effective, so I wouldn't get a Reposte, and my Lunge and my opponents Cut would strike at the same time.
Finally, if my opponent started with a Lunge/Slash combo, I believe our sequences would go:
So my first parry would be ineffective, the second would trigger a repose and our Slashes and Lunges would both hit at the same time.
So, are my sequences correct and beyond this, how do I use the
-OB1-OB2- and
-OP1-OP2- routines? These I just can't even start to understand how they might be used.
If anyone can provide some example sequences of how these might be used, I would really appreciate it.

Lots of us have scanners in our home nowadays, but if you don't have one yourself (or if it's having one of its uncooperative days), you can easily throw your camera on a projector arm and take high-quality snapshots of your documents.
Taking pictures of documents doesn't always give you a good quality copy, but if you do it right, you can avoid the hassle of a scanner (and scan documents much faster, to boot). All you really need to do is remove the head of the projector and attach your camera to the bracket on the end. With a flat surface, enough light, and a good quality camera, you can get a digital copy of your documents in no time at all. Hit the link for more details (and pictures).

5 Reasons Riding a Bike Is The Most Humiliating Exercise
#2. Impotence
If you're a man, it gets worse. Not only does the seat feel like it's destroying your balls, it might actually be destroying your balls. Heavy-duty riding over a long period of time compresses your perineum -- also known as the "taint" or "gooch" for people who like to giggle while talking about serious medical problems.
Image courtesy of pandataint.tumblr.com, your number one Internet source for panda taint images. (Really.)
That compresses a vital channel inside your chode, a channel which is actually known to actual doctors as Alcock's canal. That canal houses a nerve and an artery that allows you to both get boners and put them to use. If you constantly pinch it by riding the Tour de France or something, then you will pitch no more tents.
Researchers estimate this affects 5% of male cyclists who will admit it, plus a larger percentage of male cyclists who are too embarrassed to admit they've neutered themselves.
Bike seats exist that are easier on your grundle, and suppliers are constantly inventing more taint-friendly seats, but very few seats are completely innocent of attempting to gradually castrate their riders.
Pro cyclist Mark Cavendish celebrates a win by asking the crowd what happened to his sperm count.
And what about something that both genders are interested in, for different reasons - lady parts? Well, just like with men, biking too much can lead to numbness in a lady's special area which is certainly not a good thing, but doesn't seem to cause actual sexual dysfunction. So there's that.
#1. The Clothes Are Designed to Make You Look Stupid
Biking clothes on anybody are like shaved heads on women. If you are really good looking to begin with (Natalie Portman) then you still look good, but not as good as you did before.
If you are not super hot to begin with, you will look like a douche.
I do not think that girl can ever look ugly.
If you look at any rack of biking jerseys, it looks like a clown wardrobe. There are a couple of reasons for the bright colors -- cars almost never look for bicyclists on purpose, so you have to stand out like a sore thumb to be safe.
I'm not sure what the pros' excuse is, they close the roads off for them.
The other reason for the colors is that due to practical design, all the clothes look pretty much the same -- they need to be tight to minimize wind resistance and not get caught in things -- so the only way to stand out as an individual is with offensive color combinations.
As terrified as I am about safety, I still wear a black jersey. If I die, at least I'll die fashionable and dignified.
Tacky tops aside, bike shorts are terrible in their own way. If you invented a piece of clothing to humiliate people, you could hardly do better. Normal-looking women suddenly look like they have giant T-rex hips, and men get to show everyone their package (before wrecking it on their seat).
There's a whole blog about it ...
Anyway, sorry about that. Here's a picture of Natalie Portman with hair.
Well now that I've gone to all the trouble to show that this is clearly some kind of terrible hazing ritual, why on earth am I still biking? After all, I'm a lifelong couch potato and I'm afraid of everything. I'm afraid of fire, knives, heights, going fast, jellyfish, Taiwanese home cooking, you name it.
It's pig uterus!
I'm still going to avoid most of those things but you can't spend your life avoiding everything you're afraid of. I like going outside, getting in shape, seeing beautiful scenery, and if I'm going to let the thought of falling off the bike and being dragged down an asphalt road at 40 miles per hour stop me from enjoying the things I- oh man. I feel kind of faint, I think I need to go lie down.
Actually, one of the reasons I'm riding is to raise money to fight cancer. I've already raised quite a bit thanks to amazingly generous Cracked readers. Click here to find out more or donate.
Be sure to pick up what Lance Armstrong is (probably) reading while he rides his bike, the Cracked.com book!

Box Score | Game Notes
SAN ANTONIO (April 19, 2013) – The Rampage went punch-for-punch with Rockford through two periods of action, but the IceHogs (41-31-2-1) pulled away in the third period en route to a 9-4 victory over the Rampage (29-37-2-7) on Friday night in front of 11,717 fans at AT&T Center.
The Rampage trailed the IceHogs, 5-4, after two periods of action, but Rockford's high-flying offense recorded four unanswered goals in the third period to finish the game with nine goals, tying the most goals San Antonio has surrendered in the club's history.
Jack Combs tallied two goals and an assist in the game and is averaging more than a point per game (12 goals, six assists) in his first 17 games for the Rampage since being acquired via trade from the Bridgeport Sound Tigers on March 15.
Rookie forward Jared Gomes also extended his career-high goal scoring streak to four games with his second period tally. In addition, Rampage captain Nolan Yonkman collected an assist in his 600th career AHL game.
The first period featured three lead changes and four goals within the first 10 minutes of the frame. Rockford opened the scoring on their first shot on goal at 3:17 of the first period. Jeremy Morin found Anthony Hayes on the backdoor and the IceHogs' forward banged the puck into the net.
San Antonio responded only 29 seconds later to tie the game at 1-1. Jon Rheault skated down the right wing and took a low shot on Rockford netminder Henrik Karlsson. The rebound popped out to the slot and Combs fired it into the net before the Rockford goalie could recover.
Gomes extended his point scoring streak to five games (four goals, one assist) with a goal at 9:59. Combs collected his second point on the night with an assist on the goal. John Lee also collected a helper on the play, his second assist in as many games.
However, Rockford tied the game only 17 seconds later with a goal from Brad Mills and the IceHogs reclaimed the lead with a power-play goal from Ben Smith at 14:29. Hayes was awarded a penalty shot with 1:57 remaining in the frame, but was unable to get a shot off and the Rampage went into the first intermission trailing, 3-2.
The offenses picked up right where the left off in the second period, as the two teams combined for four goals in the frame. Smith tallied his second goal of the night for the IceHogs at 4:58 of the second period before Combs snuck behind the Rockford defense and deposited the puck between the legs of Karlsson to make it a 4-3 game.
Rockford responded only 34 seconds later with a goal from Brandon Svendsen at 11:16 to reopen the two-goal lead. Rampage defenseman Zach Miskovic recorded his second point of the night with a goal at 12:32 with assists to Evan Barlow and Francis Beauvillier.
Hayes tallied his second of the night at 4:46 of the third period and Morin followed suit after a 2-on-1 rush down low to give the IceHogs a 7-4 lead. The Rampage had a four minute power play near the midway point of the period after Rheault was the victim of a high stick.
The power play became a 5-on-3 advantage for 1:25 when Karlsson cleared the puck directly out of play, but the Rampage were unable to cash in.
San Antonio pulled Grumet-Morris with just over five minutes remaining in the third period while on the power play. However, Rockford forward Brandon Pirri collected a Rampage turnover and scored on the empty net. Maxime Sauve tallied the final goal of the game at 15:06 of the third period to issue the Rampage their worst loss at the AT&T Center in franchise history.
San Antonio won the shots battle, 32-28, but went 0-for-5 on the power play, while Rockford was 1-for-3 with the man advantage.
The Rampage will wrap up the 2012-13 season on Saturday at 7:00 p.m. at AT&T Center against the Houston Aeros. The game will also mark the club's annual Fan Appreciation Night, in which more than $60,000 in prizes will be awarded to fans in attendance.
Tickets for all remaining Rampage home games start at $10 and can be purchased at the AT&T Center Southeast Box Office, by calling a Rampage representative at 210-444-5554 or online at sarampage.com.

What should I do?
My name is Allan, and I wish to enter the game development industry. I have undertaken a Digital Media Cert IV course at TAFE which deals with very basic animation, screen design, advertisements, graphic creation such as logo's, icons. I have no clue where to go from there. What courses should I take if I wish to enter into the 3d graphic side of the game development industry?
Is there a demand for this area of epertise?
P.S. Thank you for reading.

In the industry there is a lot more emphasis on what you can do rather then what you have been taught. So there are a number of things you could do at this point. The standards (as I know them) in the industry are 3Dstudio Max, Maya, and a little little little bit of ZBrush.
If you are familiar with any of these programs I would suggest that you make a portfolio and try for a few positions. If that does not work, just model more and more and keep trying with better and better stuff.
If you don't know any of these programs but have access to them then I would suggest that you take some online tutorials. There are a ton of good ones out there.
to list a few:
If you don't have access to these then I would suggest you take wither a 3dAnimation course if your more into cinimatics and bring a model to life or a 3Dmodeling course for game design if you are more interested in the actual building of the character. The animation tends to be in Maya and the building is in Max. Maya is a bit better at handling high polly stuff from what I understand so it's the better choice for animation. Many of the art institutes around the world have these courses.
Hope this helps

Rediscover Chardonnay
California's versatile white-wine grape is escaping its syrupy reputation with lighter, brighter varieties untouched by oak
IT'S GOOD. It's bad. It's out. It's in. Is there any grape whose fortunes have risen and fallen more often than those of Chardonnay—particularly Chardonnay from California? I'm convinced this is thanks, in part, to the grape's chameleon nature. Chardonnay can be oaky or steely, fruity or flinty, depending on where it's grown and the style that the winemaker wants to produce. Indeed, style is key when describing this most malleable grape.
Less oak and more steel is the style that's in vogue for a growing number of winemakers. It's appealing not only to the anything-but-Chardonnay crowd but to a new generation of drinkers as well.
A new generation was the target audience for Avant, the Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay that debuted in late 2010. "Jess wanted a new wine that would appeal to a new generation of wine drinkers," said Caroline Shaw, executive vice president at Jackson Family Wines, who explained that Jess Jackson, the late Kendall-Jackson founder, came up with the idea in 2008.
When the producer of one of the country's more popular Chardonnays (the decidedly oakier Vintner's Reserve) decides to produce a largely unoaked Chardonnay, it seems like a good indication that something bigger may be afoot. And while Avant is produced in tiny amounts (130,000 cases) compared with the millions of cases of Vintner's Reserve, Ms. Shaw said there was "real growth potential" with Avant.
That potential has already been realized with the Chamisal Stainless Chardonnay from the Central Coast, which debuted in 2006 at 1,000 cases and is now up to 30,000 cases—making it the winery's best-selling wine. "Stainless" refers to the stainless-steel fermentation tanks used to make the wine.
Chamisal winemaker Fintan du Fresne—who hails from New Zealand, where unoaked Chardonnay is quite commonplace—said he thinks today's U.S. wine drinkers get what the Stainless name means. For his part, Mr. du Fresne said, he'd had a particularly hard time comprehending California Chardonnay when he arrived in the U.S., in 2006. "I was trying to wrap my brain around California Chardonnay—the level of oak, the richness, the viscosity, the Rombauer-esque nature," Mr. du Fresne said. (Rombauer Chardonnay is considered the epitome of the oaky Chardonnay style.) "My first question to the winery's owner was, 'Can we make a stainless Chardonnay?' " The owner told Mr. du Fresne he was crazy, but six months later he said, "Sure."
Did Mr. du Fresne think that oak-free Chardonnay was a winemaker-led change? "I think there has been a push by winemakers for a leaner, less oaky style," he replied. But as Mr. du Fresne pointed out, this wasn't just about taking out oak but "a complete reconstruction of Chardonnay."

According to Mr. du Fresne, the making of a stainless-steel-fermented Chardonnay requires different grape clones, different fermentation techniques, cooler fermentation temperatures and, often, forgoing malolactic fermentation. (Malolactic fermentation converts the tart malic acid to the softer lactic acid, making a softer, richer, more buttery wine.)
One of the top California Chardonnay producers, David Ramey, refers to his style as "neo-Burgundian" and notes that it can be achieved with less new oak and by picking earlier, when the grapes are less ripe. Mr. Ramey is doing both—not in response to the market but to his own palate. "It's my own development—a reaction to my own wines," he said. "I wanted the oak to be less present."
Mr. Ramey's two "basic" Chardonnays (he makes seven Chardonnays altogether) were among the 17 wines I tasted recently with friends—most of whom said they rarely drank California Chardonnay because it had too much oak, too much sweetness and too little acidity. I assured them the Chardonnays we were tasting were different.
Of course, oak or its absence alone doesn't make a wine good. When the wines that we tasted were in balance, the quality of the fruit shone through. But when the fruit wasn't great or the winemaking less than perfect, the wines came off as insipid and dilute. (These might have been helped by a little "make-up" of oak.)
Thankfully, there were many more successes than failures. In no particular order, our favorites included the fresh and citrusy 2011 Paul Hobbs CrossBarn Sonoma Coast, the lively 2011 Chamisal Stainless Central Coast, the complex 2010 Ramey Russian River Valley as well as the elegant 2010 Etude Carneros, the 2011 Williams Selyem Unoaked Chardonnay and the 2011 Mer Soleil Silver. The last was a soft, lush and ripe wine made even more memorable by its packaging (a gray ceramic bottle that one friend said "looked like a bomb that you'd light with a fuse and throw"—making perhaps the first unoaked Chardonnay Molotov cocktail).
Best of all, perhaps, were the prices. Since there was little to no expensive new oak used, the wines were affordably priced. None cost more than $33, and most were $15 to $22. That helped to win over even the least Chardonnay-friendly friend: "These are better values than white Burgundy," he proclaimed. "You get more flavor and satisfaction with these wines than you would with most $23 white Burgundies."
California Chardonnay is back—yet again.

Ergo's, or 'Rowing Machines', are shorter terms for the compound word; Ergo-meter. These are the most evil, soul sucking, painful and physically draining contraptions ever invented. Unless you are an elite rower with the power and fitness of a Greek God of Strength, its about the 3900m mark in a 6km ergo session where you loose the will to live and you feel like your body will never recover from this agony, but you and 4 other people will be in the shed doing the same piece training for State Championships, and if your lucky and your club doesn't have aids and it's not too poor and gay to keep your super-awesome, hardcore German coach, you should be able to pull through it. But if not, your form and training goes downhill, and so does your fitness and your will to row.
"Man, I wish Stephan was still here, the club is so shit and fail now, with no one here on a full time basis to train us we lowered to the point where we have to train ourselves almost, and boat and event organization has turned to shit as well. Ah well, lets own ourselves in an Ergo session"

Ergo's, or 'Rowing Machines', are shorter terms for the compound word; Ergo-meter. These are the most evil, soul sucking, painful and physically draining contraptions ever invented. The pain experienced on these machines is more than any other machine or sport in the history of the world. Only the most powerful, fittest, mentally strong and best conditioned athletes have the ability to use one of these machines. The excruciating pain experienced on this machine is equivalent to no other pain as it is too painful. It is considered by any who attempt it to be a form of torture. Any athlete who attempts an ergo either has extreme power and stamina or has a mental disability.

Thought I would add my bit to this thread, I've not read every page so forgive me if I repeat things.
I'm currently in my 4th season with Man United and I've experienced two sides to this coin. In my first season the only game I lost ALL season was the FA cup final to Chelsea, winning European cup & Carling cup at a canter going unbeaten for 59 games untill playing Chelseas in the final. I didn't change tactics or do press conferences just team talks & shouts. Btw I started off with Sunday league experience.
Second season I finished 3rd in the league losing 6games, won the FA cup & lost in the final of the Champions League.
Third season I done the treble, easily winning the league & regulary thrashing teams 4 & 5 nil.
Obviously things are not right an hopefully the next update will balance things out a bit.

The Ministry of Interior today issued arrest warrants for 23 people accused of various offenses in the Eastern Province over the past few months, including opening fire on citizens and security men, resulting in the death of 4 and the wounding of 24 people, illegal possession of firearms, forcing people to provide them with shelter, forcing people to participate in clashes with security forces, destruction of public and private property, disorderly gatherings, and obstruction of traffic.
Ministry of Interior Spokesman Maj. Gen. Mansour Al-Turki said the arrest warrants were issued after the suspects failed to appear before a court of justice and that some suspects are believed to have fled the country. The spokesman emphasized that these 23 men are not representative of the innocent, loyal citizens of the region and instead are working to implement a foreign agenda. Maj. Gen. Al-Turki added that some of the wanted men have past criminal records.
The spokesman said that those who voluntarily surrender will receive less punishment and urged all citizens to cooperate with security forces to see that those suspect are brought to justice and cautioned against sheltering the fugitives. People in Saudi Arabia are urged to call 990 with any information, he said, adding that a reward for information leading to the capture of the fugitives is being offered.
The wanted people are, in Arabic alphabetical order, as follows:
1) Ahmed Sharaf Hassan Al-Sadah
2) Bashir Jafar Hassan Al-Mutlaq
3) Hassan Jafar Hassan Al-Mutlaq
4) Hussein Hassan Ali Al-Rabee'i
5) Hussein Ali Abdullah Al-Braki
6) Khalid Abdul Karim Al-Labad
7) Radwan Jafar Mohammed Al-Radwan
8) Ramzi Mohammed Abdullah Al-Jamal

11) Abbas Ali Mohammed Al-Mazra
12) Abdullah Salman Saleh Al-Asrih

Why are modern radiators made from aluminium with plastic ends? What is the durability compared to 100% aliuminium radiators?
Sign up

With the improvements in modern antifreeze I rarely see radiator failures. Not that they don't happen, just no where near as often they did years ago. I think the crimped seal is more resistant to fatigue failure then the older brazed tanks were. Since aluminum can be expensive to shape and weld I am sure the reason for the change was a cost savings issue. Plastic is cheaper and easier to form than brass or copper or aluminum. The crimp is done by a machine that most likely is cheaper and faster than a robotic welder or a skilled craftsmen doing it by hand. Most of the failures I see now are either impact damage or the cooling fins separating from the tubes.
Aluminum radiators are more expensive to make. They are a hint more durable, but the increased cost is rarely worth the increase in weight and very small increase in durability.

In Toy Story, Why is Buzz the only toy that does not believe he is a toy?
Is this a stage of being a toy or does Buzz have some sort of neurological dysfunction?
Because all the toys shown in Toy Story are all old toys mostly. So they all know the reality. But Buzz Lightyear is a new toy who doesn't know about reality. If you have seen Toy Story 2 then you will definitely remember that when new Buzz appears he is not under the impression that he is a toy. Even Zurg who comes later and tries to kill Buzz because he also doesn't believe that he is a toy rather thinks that Buzz is his enemy.
In short Buzz is not the only toy who doesn't know that he is a toy and mostly every new toy come to this phase that he feels he is a real person and not a toy.
If a toy is new, they may not yet know that they are toys. Maybe that is the reason buzz didn't believe he was a toy. That was the character / personality of Buzz, that was also responsible for his reluctance to believe. Its just an interpretation though!

I read in an answer to Druid (Sentinel) Animal Companion Armor that there was at least one item (Companion's Defender) which could be given to a Sentinel Druids Animal Companion, but as I am not a DDI subscriber, I couldn't follow the link for the list of other items.
I did find another item listed in Bunko's Bargain Basement 4E:
Companion's Defender: A solid scaling boost your your companion's defenses.
Guardian's Collar: Give your buddy a nice bonus to perception checks,and double the chance to not be surprised.
Alas, to cut down on clutter, Bunko's only lists items of at least a Black rating.
So, are there any other items available to for an Animal Companions item slot?

If the first thing you think of when you hear "snow" is a snow day, you're probably not alone.
The process of deciding whether to close school during snow and icy conditions can begin days in advance, and keeps some up all night sifting through their options.
Superintendents and transportation supervisors monitor the weather and keep in touch with local meteorologists. They also keep in touch with other counties and districts when making decisions.
"Since our weather comes from the west most often, we'll talk to the western superintendents and transportation supervisors, who usually get that before we do," said Logan County Superintendent Marshall Kemp.
For some, the process begins early, many times hours before school begins.
"Usually around four o'clock, if I see there has been snow or ice, we deploy our weather spotters." -Warren County Schools Transportation Director John Odom.
Odom says in Warren County, it's the bus drivers who are the spotters, because they know the roads better than anyone else.
They report conditions back to Odom, who helps the superintendent make the final call.
"If I'm told by various parts of the district and by various drivers that there's slick spots, and it sounds like it's something we can't re-route around... safety is always our main concern, then we don't go," said Odom.
Logan county has a similar reporting system using bus drivers, but both Odom and Kemp say it's not just buses they worry about.
"We have student drivers as well, and teachers," said Kemp.
"The over 2,000 sixteen and seventeen year-olds that are driving on the roads. My daughter drives on the roads to school," said Odom.
Both districts say they aim keep everyone safe, and to always have a decision by 5:30a.m.
We know if it snows many of you will be watching for those decisions tomorrow morning, and we'll keep you updated on the latest school closings on WBKO.

An independent counsel investigation into the Sloan Convention Center Board's financial history has found "significant" chunks of funding unaccounted for or overpaid.
The investigation, lead by Bowling Green native and Louisville attorney, Gregg Hovious, was presented to the Bowling Green City Commission on Tuesday night. Investigators concluded attorney and former Convention Center Board treasurer Steve Catron should reimburse the board $298,000 in legal expenses that should not have been billed, according to the report.
Investigators have also asked Catron to account for $247,000 allegedly paid to his firm's escrow account that cannot be accounted for at the moment.
The investigation came about as a result of allegations made by Commissioner Jim Bullington and his supporters, who alleged over billing by Catron and accounting firm BKD. Bullington has repeatedly said the city should sue to recover the lost money, but Hovious says the case should be settled out of court.
Commissioners will take the next two weeks to review the report and will question Hovious again at their first April meeting.

After his first year of college as a music major, Jay Campbell faced the realization he could make one of two career choices: music teacher or opera singer.
Deciding neither were the type of living he desired, he left Western Kentucky University for an internship at Disney World, where he soon found his calling at, of all places, a pool party.
"While I was down there (at Disney World), I was going to the pool and there was a DJ like every Thursday that came out to the pool, this like really pretty girl, so I flirted with her and I was like, 'Hey, I want to do what you do,' I said some silly line like that," Campbell explained.
Proceeding to ask for her phone number, Campbell left the pool eager to give the mystery girl a call, but discovered that the married woman – unbeknownst to him – had handed Campbell the number of her boss.
"I called (the number) and the guy was like, 'So you want to be a DJ?' and I was like, 'Sure … Sure … Yeah?'" he said, recalling feeling hesitant to say yes.
Campbell chose to give the DJ gig a try anyway and traveled to Tampa Bay Busch Gardens to help set up equipment for a Thursday night teen party filled with nearly 3,000 attendees.
Amazed, yet overwhelmed, by his first real glimpse of the life of a disc jockey, Campbell returned to Bowling Green, Ky., and looked up as many DJ companies he could find – only two in the city.
"I went and worked at Silverado's," Campbell said of his first DJing gig at the age of 19. "It was a biker bar on the bottom and a karaoke Nascar bar on the top."
Thus, DJ "Jaybird" was born and in 2002, Campbell met Mike Ballard, owner of Lightwave DJ Service, and began spinning full time, while also teaching ballroom dancing. Campbell tried his hand at audio engineering, as well, but with a packed schedule, he was forced to decide on which career he'd most like to focus.
Despite its grueling lifestyle, Campbell knew which path he was meant to pursue. Now the owner of his own company, More Than Entertainment, Campbell is highly sought after and booked both for voice-over work and deejaying, which reaches its peak season for him from the time of Derby through October.
More involved than ever on the party scene, Campbell's the official DJ of Macy's in Louisville and official DJ of The Voice-Tribune's Third Thursday After-Work Parties.
He's also involved in many community-oriented festivities, including playing the Lady Antebellum concert held for Henryville High School. Additionally, Campbell can be found spinning at a club or two. "I always try to keep a club gig so that brides and grooms or whoever wants to book me can come out and see kind of what I do," he said.
Unlike the typically niched disc jockey, Campbell is known as a mobile DJ. "What I really specialize in is the mobile DJ set, and that is being able to take a room of 200 strangers and getting them up and moving and dancing and having a good time to whatever music they're into."
With or without the input from his client as to what music the crowd will most like, Campbell is able to discern a dance floor and match the tunes to the people inside the venue. Working the mic, a skill he mastered through his eight-year stint with Radio Disney, also gives him the ability to enliven even the most apathetic assembly.
With more than an estimated 100,000 songs in his library, plus the unlimited number he can download on the spot from iTunes or YouTube, Campbell can virtually play any track a person would request and memorizes most people's favorites.
"I always remember people's music," Campbell said. "If somebody says, 'Oh, I like this,' and then they dance to it, I'll always remember that. To me it's like building a relationship with the audience."
Whether a prom, high school reunion, middle school dance or "hipster" wedding, Campbell is capable of pleasing just about any audience. "I think that's what I like most about my job is I'm not stuck to playing one type of thing," he said.
Hoping to eventually retire as a senior citizen in Florida, where there's a heavy Latin crowd, for now Campbell is perfectly content remaining in Louisville to live out his dream.
With a new job at Mainline Broadcasting, he'd like to one day host his own radio show while deejaying on the side, and maybe become "Terry Meiners famous." And, though he hasn't celebrated New Year's Eve in the last decade without wearing his DJ hat, nor can he recall the last wedding he attended as an actual guest, Campbell, undoubtedly, wouldn't trade his job for the world.
"It's a lot of weekends, and it's a lot of holidays, and times when everyone else is doing fun things," he said. "And I have to go and DJ. But I just get a really great sense of fulfillment from doing it."
Quick 'Hits' With DJ JayBird
What are your go-to songs?
"(Line dances) are every DJ's go-to. And if they say they don't play the line dances, they lie. Those are the go-to songs. The top ones still are "The Wobble," "The Cupid Shuffle" and the "Cha Cha Slide," sort of in that order of popularity.
Top 3 wedding songs you despise?
1. "Butterfly Kisses" – overdone. "Still a beautiful song, but I really don't like it."
2. "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" – "It's like the No. 1 bouquet toss song and I don't like it anymore. I would much rather (play) 'Single Ladies.'"
3. "Never Gonna Give You Up" – "Never "Rick Roll" your wedding."
Song that will get the shyest person on the dance floor?
"Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gay
Song that will get you on the dance floor?
"Carnival" by Celia Cruz.
Top three songs of all time on your playlist?
1. "Let Me Clear My Throat" by DJ Kool
2. "You Shook Me All Night Long" by AC/DC
3. "Friends In Low Places" by Garth Brooks
"Those three songs will work no matter what, any time I play them."
Advice to a couple looking for a DJ for their wedding?
"I definitely think that you should meet with your DJ and like the personality of your DJ before booking them. And I think that's extremely, extremely important, that you need to meet the actual person that's playing your show and have seen them play if possible."
Get Down On The Dancefloor After BD2012

Okay so I've spent the last few weeks (on my spare time outside of work) creating a site for a client with a custom built theme. This is my first use of wordpress and the site can be seen here at http://portwashingtonmama.com I have a bunch of different static pages. For example, if you go to the first page in the nav titled "Outdoor Fun" you can see that there is one long list of places for parents to bring their kids for outdoor activities. They are separated into 3 different categories "Local" "pretty Close" and "farther away." In each category, there are a number of venues. My client informed me earlier this week that she wanted the user to submit venues via comments. Okay, so I enabled comments on each page. Now, she has requested that the user be able to comment on each separate VENUE on the page. i.e. a user can comment on "Bar Beach" and then "Blumenfield Family Park." Can someone help explain my options here? I understand that I can re-do each and every page and instead of static info, I can make each venue a post, carefully inputting them in reverse order. But if I do this, can I still have the category titles "Local" "pretty close" and "farther away?" Or is there another option that will allow me to do this?
Looks like your "local" "pretty close" and "further away" is only title text on the page and is not actually linking somewhere. You can simply make each venue into a post and under "local" "pretty close" and "further away", add a link to the post after their description/introductions. This way they retain their category titles and users can comment separately.
You can also use a Page in Posts plugin. Each one has different results, so test on one page before going with a particular plugin. That will allow you to simply select a category or particular posts to insert into your post. I use this sort of functionality on my Bibliography pages, e.g. http://lianamir.com/vardin.

Wil Heuser always knew he was destined for big things. Now it's time to prove it.
Known for his outrageous personality and silly YouTube music videos, the Louisville native will soon go from local notable to household name.
Heuser was recently chosen to compete as one of 12 house guests in season 14 of CBS's "Big Brother." He left the River City on June 30 to begin filming the popular reality television series, which features a group of people living together in a large house, isolated from the outside world.
Though fame is something Heuser, 24, has been chasing since childhood, his opportunity with "Big Brother" happened by accident. He'd had no idea the show was casting in Louisville until one of the show's directors saw him at a local establishment, tapped him on the shoulder and asked Heuser to consider auditioning.
"Of course, Wil went (out that night) in his usual style of fur and short shorts and crazy long hair," said Heuser's brother, Chip. "And (the 'Big Brother' casting team) apparently were there and tapped him on the shoulder. It was a pretty random occurrence."
Heuser was handed a business card and asked to come through the VIP line at the "Big Brother" casting call. After quickly winning over the casting director, he was whisked away to Los Angeles for a personality test and physical. Days later, he was confirmed as one of 24 finalists.
"In all the years that Wil's been in the entertainment industry, it's been so hard (for him to find his big break)," said Heuser's mom, Peggy, who is chief operating officer of the Heuser Clinic. "The timing was so right for Wil. He was coming back to Louisville (from New York), he didn't have obligations to an apartment. Once he got the notice that he was cast, he was ready."
Heuser will premiere on "Big Brother" at 9 p.m. Thursday, July 12. Under the surveillance of cameras placed throughout the Big Brother home, he must relinquish contact from the radio, his cell phone and the internet, where he first gained fame as host of the YouTube sensation "The Wil Show." Heuser also temporarily deactivated his Facebook and Twitter page, and took down some of his most notable music videos, including the one to his hit single, "I'm Still Hot."
It's quite the sacrifice to appear on the reality TV show and is far different from what Heuser faced when auditioning for season 8 of "American Idol." Though he didn't make it through to the next round of the musical competition, his slightly off-beat performance did evoke laughter in some of the judges, and surely much of the audience watching from home. But that didn't faze Heuser, whose song and dance routines are typically sprinkled with comedy. It's his ability to laugh at himself that will likely make him a popular contestant on "Big Brother," yet his flamboyant personality has drawn some criticism amongst the public support.
"There's been some critical tweets about him and some positive things about him," Peggy said. "But any press is good press, so bring it on."
Should Heuser survive eviction to win the final cash prize on "Big Brother," he'll be gone from Louisville up to 95 days. The public will be able to observe Heuser's every move on the show, which will air three times a week – Wednesday, Thursday (the live eviction show) and Sunday this summer. For $30, viewers can also access a live cam inside the house revealing footage not seen during the three-month duration of "Big Brother."
While Heuser – who was not allowed to be interviewed for this story – is certainly excited about the chance to appear on national television, he's also looking forward to shedding light on a cause that's close to his heart. Before he left, Heuser designed a T-shirt with the word "LOU" spelled with a heart in the middle and a tiny fleur de lis printed in place of a period at the end. He plans to wear it on the reality show while his family will sell copies at Work the Metal and Big Bar for $20 a piece. Proceeds will benefit the Fairness Campaign, a broad-based community effort with the primary goal of comprehensive civil rights legislation prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.
The Heusers are hoping Louisville will help support the cause while also backing Heuser in his endeavor to finally catch his big break in the entertainment industry.
"He feels like his life has sort of tested him and so he feels like he's ready for a game like this," Peggy said. "He's kind of played the game in life already. We're very hopeful; we really are."
"Big Brother" Season 14 premieres Thursday, July 12, at 9 p.m. ET on CBS. Big Bar, 1202 Bardstown Road, will host a "Big Brother" watch party to show support for Heuser at 9 p.m. Thursday, July 12.
Tune in to CBS this Thursday, July 12, at 9 p.m. to see Wil compete against his fellow house mates in season 14 of "Big Brother"!

I think that ninja warz should separate the two groups when playing at a tournament- kredders/buyers and 'no-buying' people. Also, I think tournaments should be reset every hour or so. I keep versing the same enemies that i know will win. I only play the tournaments for hope they will go.
Post anything related to Tournaments and if you Agree/Disagree.

For help making this question more broadly applicable, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Unfortunately, this is nothing more than a common misconception which stems from ignorance and from a lack of proper education in certain communities. Hamentashen are not required to have 3 sides. There's a famous derasha from the spelling of the word haman: just like a מ has 3 sides, a ה has two and a half, and a ן has one and a bit, so too a hamentashen: as long as it has one side and a bit of a second, it's permissible.
Why does it have three sides?
If it had four sides it would need tzitzis! (I can't take any credit for this answer: it's older than I am.)
Why is it filled?
Consider Rus 1:20–21:
We see from there that that which might be expected to be filled but is in fact unfilled is bitter.
Hamentaschen, of course, are expected to be filled (ask anyone), so leaving them unfilled would make them bitter, and who wants to eat a bitter hamentasch?
Hamentashen comes from the words "Haman Tish" -- the Table of Haman in Yiddish.
Therefore, since there were three people by Haman's party they needed a three sided table( both Haman and Achashveirosh considered themselves to be the most important people in Persia and wouldn't want to sit with Esther).
The Hamentash represents the Table on which they (Haman,Esther and Achashveirosh) sat and the filling represents the food which they ate. (From where the custom to give a "last meal" came).

This is a retrospective report by the German Hodgkin Lymphoma Study Group. It describes their success with salvage radiotherapy in patients with relapsed and refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma following initial treatment. It represents the largest series published on this topic.
This study provides useful data regarding the salvage with radiation of progressive or relapsed Hodgkin's Disease, with an overall 77% response rate (88% among those with early stage at progression or relapse), a 5-year overall survival of 51%, and a 5-year freedom-from-second failure of 28%. Radiation should be strongly considered as a salvage option in patients with progressive or relapsing Hodgkin's lymphoma based on these data. Longer-term outcomes will shed light on continued efficacy of salvage radiation, with possibly newer systemic therapies emerging in the future to either replace or enhance the radiation treatments.

I want to generate a report for three types of analysis I am performing. But each time when I perform the analysis it can happen that one or more than one type of analysis occur. I want to put condition in the report that will run the part of report according to the type of analysis performed. For each analysis I need to repeat the chunk say n times. I am stuck at writing a for loop for the code chunk. 'a' is a vector eg code:

1. A hebrew name for a girl, meaning 'beautiful'.

Nava is a girl's name that means "sound of music" or "beautiful sound". She's tall and has dark brown hair. She laughs easily but never cries. She will get hurt pretty often but always be able to keep a smile on her face. She'll never break a promise, but she finds it very difficult to trust others. She hides her emotions and never tells anybody about how she feels. Even when she's sad, she'll still try to make others around her laugh and smile. She does not hold grudges but does not forget. She's strong but doesn't have the heart to hurt anyone. The best friend, but she never seems to fit and is often alone, or just hanging out with different people all the time. She doesn't usually have love feelings or crushes. She takes jokes, makes jokes (bad ones, mind you) and will always try to put some joy in you're day.
"So, who's you're crush, Nava?"
"I don't have one"

Nava is persian for "the sound of music" Nava is a beautiful, thin girl with dark brown hair. She loves to write songs and share them with her friends. She is hilarious and is an AMAZING friend. If someone hurts you, she will surely go and murder them so they never do it again. People named Nava also usually like corn, for some strange reason. If you ever meet someone named Nava, you are one of the luckiest people on Earth. Also, most Nava's still sleep with their teddy bears until they are well into their adult years.

A Na'Va is a Na'Vi wannabe. A Geek who thinks or acts out scenes from the Movie Avatar and believes themselves to actually be or identifies with the fictional Na'Vi.
Even outside of DragonCon it is not unusual to see Na'Va dressed in cat ears, blue body paint and loin cloths acting delusional.

a girl with an extremely long torso and a 6 pack who falls ALL over the place but never gets truly injured, but often injures those surrounding her. She usually forgets things and is very pretty. she also interrupts people every 5 seconds then apologizes like madness right before she does it again. she also has a tendency to clog toilets, especially at other peoples houses, and procrastinates on all homework assignments. she is also VERY gullible.
person one: hey, how was babysitting? where are my kids?
Nava: babysitting? oh shit.. i let them go get into that truck that offered them candy.. the guy said he'd bring 'em back at midnight.
