The Best and Worst TV Character Hairstyles
From Ugly Betty to Marge Simpson, see whose hair we love -- or hate -- the most
Whether it's a sci-fi elaborate updo or a simple girl-next-door ponytail, TV characters' hairstyles inspire us to try out new looks on ourselves, or give us perspective on horrible hairstyles we shouldn't attempt trying. All the styles on this list caught our eye because they were either ideally suited for their characters, gorgeous looks we'd like to steal, or tragic numbers that made us embarrassed for the characters -- and the stars that had to wear them.
Check out our picks for the best and worst TV character hairstyles, but please note: we're only referring to the character's style, not the actress who plays her. And even though plenty of reality stars may seem like characters as well, we decided to keep this list narrowed down to fictional TV characters. So sorry Kate of "John and Kate Plus Eight," you'll just have to wait until our story on the best and worst reality star hairstyles comes out. Stay tuned!

This was a fun read. I agree with almost all of these. I think the Ugly Betty one needs to be switched though.

Air-Traffic Controllers Sent Back to Work
The Federal Aviation Administration said Saturday that it had suspended the furloughs of air-traffic controllers that had led to thousands of flight delays and cancellations over the past week.
The agency said in a statement that it would "return to regular staffing levels over the next 24 hours and the system will resume normal operations by Sunday evening."
The move follows the passage Friday of legislation aimed at giving the Department of Transportation more flexibility in applying budget cuts mandated under the sequester. Those across-the-board cuts prompted the FAA starting last Sunday to require employees to take one unpaid day off every two weeks, effectively meaning a 10% daily cut to the FAA's workforce of air-traffic controllers.
Under the bill, the FAA would be able to redirect as much as $253 million from other areas of its budget to shore up staffing and operations.
The FAA has said the furloughs to its roughly 30,000 air-traffic employees, half of whom are controllers, would save $162 million, and FAA Administrator Michael Huerta told Congress in February that the agency would save $45 million to $50 million by eliminating funding for 170 contract towers.
The public outcry over the flight delays that followed the beginning of the furloughs prompted lawmakers from both parties to join in giving budget flexibility to the FAA. Although weather across the U.S. was relatively mild this past week, United Continental Holdings Inc. UAL -1.08 % —the largest U.S. airline by traffic—estimated that every day since the controller furloughs began on Sunday, about 20,000 of its customers were affected by delays directly attributable to the staffing shortages, and 48 flights a day were canceled on average. The company, including its commuter affiliates, carries between 300,000 and 400,000 fliers a day and operates about 5,800 flights.

6 Bizarre Ways Architecture Is Designed to Ward Off Ghosts
#3. Thirteenth Floor (And Floors that End in Four in China)
"Wait a minute," you might say. "The number 13 is not a ghost." You are clearly someone who has never had to wake up to the number 13 rattling its chains in the next room or causing your child to say "REDRUM" over and over again. Anyway, unlucky numbers are specific concepts that people believe will do horrible things to them in a magical way, so close enough. If you're insistent on ghost purity, read ahead to the next entry.
Most people have heard about some Western buildings not having a 13th floor due to superstition about the number 13. The practice has been dying out, but some newer buildings still do it, like One Canada Square, the tallest building in Britain (until the Shard London Bridge is completed).
Doesn't really have much else going for it, does it?
One Canada Place gets around the problem by having no "usable space" on the 13th floor, and no button for it on the elevator. Other buildings just rename the 13th floor as "14," exposing the unsuspecting residents of the new "14th floor" to all kinds of magical catastrophes, unless the number 13 spirit is as stupid as a Chinese ghost and just wanders away disappointed after not finding its designated floor.
Speaking of China again, Chinese buildings are even better. The unlucky number in China is four, as well as any number that ends in four. Why? Because the word for "four" sounds like the word for "die". Yes, that's a superstition based on a pun. I think that accounts for about half the superstitions in China. Like the word for "orange" sounds like the word for "gold," so you eat oranges on the New Year so you can be rich. Anyway, so no fourth floors.
And on many buildings, no 14th floors either. And no 24th, 34th, etc. But wait! There's more.
China is part of the global economy now. That means they're picking up Western habits, like smoking, pollution, getting fat and a ridiculous avoidance of the number 13. So you can find buildings that are missing not only the fourth floor and 14th floor, but also the 13th floor.
I think the -1 floor here might have been an attempt to offset the missing floor four, but throwing out floors 13 and 14 kind of makes that whole exercise pointless, you'd think.
So yeah, it seems pretty silly, until you look at one study saying that Chinese and Japanese (who share the superstition) populations actually show a spike in heart attacks on the fourth of each month, apparently literally scaring themselves to death. The study has been disputed, but you can't say the number four isn't serious business in Asia.
#2. Filipino Building Beliefs
The Philippines is an extremely superstitious country, which may sound a bit ballsy coming from someone whose people think evil spirits can slide off of roofs. There are many, many Filipino superstitions. But when it comes to building your house in a ghost-aware way, probably the biggest thing is basements.
In some cultures in the Philippines, basements and sunken rooms are seen as hiding places for evil spirits. The only way you can get away with a sunken room is if you have an exit in the house that is lower than that room.
I guess this works as a sort of evil spirit drainage. Sure, why not.
A guide to proper ghost drainage.
Though not directly ghost-related, a more popular superstition is "oro, plata, mata" (gold, silver, death). This is seriously almost exactly like "eenie meenie miney moe." When you're building steps in your house, you count them with, "oro, plata, mata," and repeat, so step four is oro again, and step five is plata, and so on. If you finish with "oro," you're good, "plata," you're OK, "mata," OH MY GOD YOU'RE GOING TO DIE IT'S THE DEATH STEP. So not a lot of three or six-step flights of stairs. This same phrase is applied to anything you can count off in the house, like flagstones in a path or planks in a ramp.
Ghosts take their "eenie meenie miney mo" SERIOUSLY.
#1. Thai Spirit Houses
While a lot of cultures build their houses around spirits, Thais actually build houses for spirits. Thai spirit houses are built on the assumption that there are spirits living everywhere, including any land where you want to build a new building. Like anyone would be, they'll be upset that you're kicking them out of their house to build your dream home.
At some point in time, one brilliant Thai had the idea that you could build another house for them, next to yours. Then the spirits could live in the tiny spirit house and not bother you in your giant fancy people house that you built on their land. We had a similar plan in the United States at one point, only we did it to people, and we called the shitty houses "reservations."
Too soon?
Well, while Native Americans were pretty upset about it (being intelligent human beings), Thai spirits were apparently too stupid to realize they were getting the short shrift, so spirit houses work. Not only are the spirits appeased, but they also help protect you and help you win the lottery, especially if you give them enough offerings. Acceptable offerings include fruit, rice and strawberry Fanta.
Yes, seriously, the strawberry Fanta is a real thing.
However, some spirits seem to have a stronger sense of self-esteem. During the construction of the Grand Hyatt Erewan, the workers put up a spirit house like they always did, but apparently the spirits weren't very happy with it, because there were a lot of accidents and problems with the hotel construction. They consulted a monk and finally replaced the spirit house with a much fancier one and everything went swimmingly, now that the spirits had a proper crib.
Still not as nice as the hotel, I bet.
To add insult to injury, when a building is sold or demolished, the humans toss the spirit house in the garbage or leave it under a tree to rot. And still there's been no spirit rebellion. Man, they have to catch on eventually, right?

The 5 Most Annoying Banner Ads On The Internet
#5. TBS Funny Ads
This is everything that's wrong with the modern media in one convenient image, for the busy modern person who needs to lose faith in humanity 'on the go'. A website dedicated to the commercials which prevent you from watching the programs on television. This is why technology hasn't done all the things it promised to, like curing cancer or constructing Killbots programmed to travel back in time and kill Steve Martin sometime after Dirty Rotten Scoundrels but before Bringing Down the House. A site dedicated to the very best in ads is like a drink brewed for the very finest of hangovers- they're focusing on a horrible unwanted side-effect and a head-injury inspired decision somewhere has somehow made it the point.
Worse, they're targeting the most annoying demographic on the planet: the "I only watch it for the ads" vacuum-headed smirkers. This is a public service announcement: SAYING YOU DO NOT LIKE SOMETHING POPULAR DOES NOT MAKE YOU INDIVIDUAL AND EDGY. It makes you dumbass- at least the unoriginal hooting herd enjoy the damn game. You're being equally unoriginal, dumber, and deliberately spending time to point out how you don't like it. Do you think a monkey that repeatedly eats stones and complains about it is the "cool, unique" monkey in among his friends? No, he's the stupid one even in a group whose main hobbies are masturbating in public and throwing shit at each other.
It's terrifying that ads are becoming this popular. Their content reveals that the average IQ is in a terrifying death-dive, and the only thing dropping faster is Joe Q. Public's attention span. These are the people who said "Wazzzzzup?". They are the reason why, in an age where information can be beamed around the world faster than Superman, headlines have been reduced to "Terrorists are Bad" and "Puppies are Cute." Their slack-jawed superpower to do exactly what they're told is why an editorial hinting that maybe we shouldn't base education on two thousand-year-old papyrus rags found in a cave is considered "controversial."

Where did the word logarithm come from? Any relation to the word algorithm?
There is no relation between the two words.
logarithm: 1610s, Mod.L. logarithmus, coined by Scottish mathematician John Napier (1550-1617), lit. "ratio-number," from Gk. logos "proportion, ratio, word"
algorithm: was derived from the name of 8th century Persian mathematcian al-Kwarizmi.
Note: I think it's unusual for a term to derive from a person's name, especially in mathematics. I know words like "bowdlerize" (meaning to edit by removing offensive material) from Thomas Bowdler, or a "spoonerism" (a phrase constructed by exchanging syllables between words, eg "Swell foop") named after William Spooner, but in math I believe it's quite rare. The now-standard lowercase "abelian" is perhaps another example.

I would like to get reccomendations for a text on "advanced" vector analysis. By "advanced", I mean that the discussion should take place in the context of Riemannian manifolds and should provide coordinate-free definitions of divergence, curl, etc. I would like something that has rigorous theory but also plenty of concrete examples and a mixture of theoretic/concrete exercises.
The text that I have seen that comes closest to what I'm looking for is Janich's Vector Analysis. The Hatcheresque style of writing in this particular text though isn't really suitable for me.
Looking forward to your reccomendations, thanks.

Strassen Algoritm is a well-known matrix multiplication divide and conquer algorithm. The trick of the algorithm is reducing the number of multiplications to 7 instead of 8. I was wondering, can we reduce any further? Can we only do 6 multiplications?
Also, what happens if we divide the NxN arrays into 9 arrays each of (N/3)x(N/3) instead of 4 arrays of (N/2)x(N/2). Can we then do less multiplications?

If you want to fly a spaceship with human passengers as close to the Sun as possible, then what effects would the spaceship have to be designed to counteract in order to keep the passengers alive and how close to the Sun could you get before there would be no way to counteract the effects ?
Assuming you're in orbit around the Sun (presumably a highly elliptical orbit) you won't feel any force due to gravity. In principle you might feel tidal forces, but for an object the size of a spaceship these are negligable even if you graze the surface of the Sun.
The most obvious problems are the heat from the Sun and the radiation it emits. The radiation is a mixture of electromagnetic radiation and charged particles, both of which are not good for anything relying on it's DNA remaining intact.
It's difficult to do much about the heat because in space the only way you can cool is by radiation. What you'd probably do is surround your spaceship with a mirrored shell and keep a layer of vacuum between the shell and your ship. Even with very good mirroring the shell will heat up, but for a while at least it will keep the heat off your spaceship. The MESSENGER probe in orbit round Mercury uses a reflective shield, and contains internal refridgeration - I don't knw exactly how this works but presumably it uses a radiator on the side of the probe pointing away from the Sun.
There isn't a lot you can do about the radiation except surround your spaceship with a thick layer of lead, and that much lead would be difficult to put into space.
The Solar Probe Plus is planned to get within 4 million miles of the Sun's surface, and this will be the closest we've managed to get any spacecraft. However the SPP doesn't have any human passengers to worry about. I suspect radiation is the real problem for human passengers. Even for a hypothetical manned Mars mission the radiation dose the astronauts would receive is a worry, and the intensity of the radiation goes up as the inverse square of the distance.
If you get really close but have thick enough shielding to avoid radiation, and are travelling fast enough that you don't spend enough time close to heat up too much, then there still could be problem of Sun's magnetic field. If field is strong enough it could disrupt biological function.

I want to breed a Panlong Dragon. Which dragons should I breed and how will I know whether I got one? How long are they available?
You can breed any two hybrid dragons that collectively have all four elements Fire, Earth, Water and Air.
Example breeding pairs are Mud + Blaze or Lava + Fog. In fact those are the only breeding pairs not counting rares. Note the dragon is rare and will take several tries; you might want to use the Epic Breeding Island.
Panlong Dragons have a unique breeding/egg time of 36 hours so you'll know when you got one right away; they also have a unique egg.
Panlong Dragons will be available for the entire of the Year of the Dragon (2012). If you have at least two you'll be able to breed Panlong dragons together to get Panlongs even after the event is over.
I bred my first Panlong dragon on the Epic Breeding Island. First try did not work but the second time did and I'm breeding another one right now. Both dragons are on lvl 10 lava (left) + fog (right).
Tried it on the normal breeding cave several times and it never worked, finally gave up and bought an Epic Breeding Island. It's worth it. :)
Lava left and fog right - worked on the 2nd try.
A dodo and an air creates a panglong.
I just tried Lava and Fog and got another Rainbow.

Our sewer line is 43" above the ground. Today, the washing machine drains into a washbasin, into an ejector pump, and into the sewer. I would like the washing machine to drain directly into the sewer line, bypassing the washbasin and pump. Can modern washers pump the water high enough to allow for a trap above the 43"?
No. Well maybe it can, but it shouldn't.
If you check the documentation that came with the washer, it should contain the maximum drain height. Generally, the maximum height is around 39" (99 cm).
Newer washers often have a drain hose permanently attached, which is designed to make drain installation fool proof. The supplied drain hose shows you exactly how high the washer can discharge.
Raise the washer
Depending on the machine, and whether or not you're already using a pedestal. You may be able to raise the whole machine up, to accomplish what you want. The maximum height is not height above sea level, it's height above the bottom of the washer. So if it's possible to do so, raising the machine up a few inches (safely) might be the solution.
If it's a front loading washer; and you're not already using a pedestal, you may be able to purchase (or build) a pedestal to raise the machine up. If not, you may want to think about building a raised floor to raise the whole area up.
Keep it up to code
International Residential Code (IRC) says.
Which means if you connect the drain hose to a standpipe, the standpipe has to be at least 18" above the point at which water will begin to flow from the trap. So your 43" height, could quickly become 61".

I know that you can grant authorization permissions to Google AdSense so that it can 'log in' and see what other logged in users can see (e.g. in a private forum), so that the ads it displays are better targetted.
Extending this principle further: I am making a site which will show completely different content for each individual user (i.e. not 'common' content like a forum in which everybody sees essentially the same thing). You could think of this content as similar to the way each Facebook user has a different news feed, but it is the 'same' page.
Complicating things further, the URLs for this site will be simple, e.g. '/home' and '/somepage', and will not usually include unique identifiers to differentiate between users (e.g. '/home?user=32i42').
My questions are:
- Is creating an account purely for AdSense to log in to the site with worth it in this case, seeing as it will be seeing it's own 'personalized' version and not any other user's?
- More importantly: is that against the Google AdSense Terms of Service? (I can't seem to figure that one out)
- How would you go about this problem?

Pinal board delays ending jail contract with ICE
CASA GRANDE, AZ - Pinal County is postponing a decision on whether to end a money-losing federal contract for housing immigration detainees in the county jail, instead voting to try once more to renegotiate a new deal.
The Board of Supervisors voted Wednesday to seek help from members of the state's congressional delegation on changing the current contract that an audit said costs the county about $2.5 million a year.
According to the Casa Grande Dispatch, Sheriff Paul Babeu argued against ending the contract, saying that would force elimination of 200 jobs, mostly jail detention officers.
Supervisor Pete Rios said the county has struggled for years to work out a new contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement but those efforts have proved fruitless.
The supervisors will reconsider the issue May 29.

A unicorn is an animal with true magic
powers. Unicorn coloring pages show the animal closely resembling a horse,
but with a single horn in the middle of its forehead. Unicorns are often
found in the presence of maidens, occasionally princesses, and are keepers
of magic. Unlike many other creatures in mythology, the unicorn has no evil
in him, and can only be captured by trickery. Those who capture unicorns
are interested in his horn. The horn is said to neutralize poison, so many
people are anxious to own a horn or an item, such as a cup, made from
it.Some of the items on this page were created by Dee
Dreslough. We really appreciate all her hard work and her permission to

Controller reduces harmonic distortion
Smart Bypass Controller minimizes harmonic distortion produced by a variable frequency drive (VFD) during peak loads while improving efficiency up to 5%.
Smart Bypass Controller minimizes harmonic distortion produced by a variable frequency drive (VFD) during peak loads while improving efficiency up to 5%. Unlike conventional circuits that are only used for emergency bypass operation, the unit has a patent-pending, solid-state controller to monitor VFD system requirements (demand, speed, and load) and minimizes distortion automatically.

"I've had this vehicle for 20 years & I refuse to give it up! We bought it w/ abt 20,000 mi on it. It has a heart of gold! Even when the original motor & trany were getting tired it kept on going. We finally had pity on it & gave it a brand new motor & trany @ 321,000 mi & it was still going before that but we knew it had to only be a matter of time. It made over 6 trips halfway across the country & back over the last 20 years before the new motor & trany. It's going strong & now hauling my grandbabies around instead of my babies. It has built in child car seats so I can pick up my grandkids without having to haul car seats around, I love them & you can't find vehicles anymore with built in car seats. They fold up into the seat so adults can sit in the seat when needed. It has fantastic hauling capabilities as well. I've moved my household completely in the van with no problem it has great weight capacity & space inside. We've moved 3 times with it. The motor & trany are the only major things we've ever had to do with it. This is the most fantastic vehicle I've EVER seen! I wish they still made them. It handles beautifully & is so comfortable to ride in. I can't think of one drawback for my van & believe me I usually can find something wrong, or that I don't care for, with a vehicle. Everyone tells me I need to get a new vehicle but I refuse until they can find me one with built in child car seats & all the inside space & hauling power I have right now & they have to guarantee it will be as good as my van has been to me."

"First, the suspension is perfect and power is alright, and very easy to drive. The design is comfortable and cozy, however many only have cloth. Exterior is SPORTY (i think). Very comfortable but slow acceleration for freeway. Great power through 0-55 mph. Great quality though and not much to worry about. I don't recommend taking it above 75 mph (you can if you want to) Just don't do it often. Very reliable, and value is great for an excellent condition. I recommend this car for anybody."

"I've owned a '96 3.0 for over ten years. IN that time I've driven approx 80k miles. It now has 155k on her. I've had to repair the ac at $900+, the upper tie rods, the radiator, the cat converter. NO new fuel pump, no new alternator, no new starter...virtually nothing engine related at all.. I still can't believe it.. Besides the usual brakes, battery, tires etc... it has honestly been the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. Out of about ten cars in my lifetime so far. The engine still starts every time instantly I couldn't ask for a more reliable, smooth running engine BUT...... Man oh man it rides like an old farm truck...always has, always will.. roll over an acorn and it feels like a speed bump. I replaced tie rods and bushings and front shocks on it thinking that might help... not a bit. It just has a very hard, rigid suspension. They had no clue how to compete with a Chrysler ride but the engine and transmission reliability make up for it. I am just now starting to experience a little torque converter shudder when I push it. The 3.0 has little power to begin with and going up steep hills with any kind of load really tests it. I can pretty much floor it and it will only go so fast but it still shifts smooth and clean every time...just has no real pull or push to it now.. It never really could get out of it's own way but I get about 24 mpg's highway so I don't mind. Overall.. I really love the old girl. She's taken me all over the country and never left me stranded. One of Fords best jobs...too bad they screwed up the Windstar and Freestar after these. Every now and then they get one right. They had these right...at least mine."

Everything works fine all the time. There is a ton of space for hauling, with split back seats for long items. We have even removed the back seats and used them for a couch of sorts when camping. We will be sorry to part with this van."

I'm studying for CAS/SOA Exam 1/P and I'm stumped on this question. It says:
From the set of families with two children a family is selected at random. Let $X_1=1$ if the first child of the family is a girl; $X_2 = 1$ if the second child of the family is a girl; and $X_3 = 1$ if the family has exactly one boy. For $i=1,2,3$ let $X_i = 0$ in other cases. Determine if $X_1,X_2$, and $X_3$ are independent. Assume that in the family the probability that a child is a girl is independent of the gender of the other children and is $\frac12$.
I'm just really stuck with the events here and I think that's what's throwing me off. A little help?

According to jisho.org, they all have the same meanings, to climb, to rise, to ascend. Is that true? And do they have differences in usage?

They do have differences in usage. I've gathered a few examples that, I hope, differentiate the meanings. First, I'll try to put them in English:
But I don't know how helpful that is. Certainly there isn't a one-to-one mapping between those English words and those ways of writing のぼる. I think you'll get a better sense of what each one means if you look at how they're used:
上る Go up
登る Climb
昇る Ascend, rise
For more examples, see the following links:
There are several words with a series of kanji like this. There is usually a common kanji used for the basic verb, in this case のぼる which is usually 登る.
The others becomes more clear in kanji compounds. When using jisho.org, search for kanji details, then click on "words containing" and look for what sorts of compounds the particular kanji is used in.
Some examples:

Grid Headers in rows
Can we have grid headers in one column - multiple rows
like generally we have in multiple column and single row
Thanks in advance
3 Jan 2011 11:17 PM #2
I dont really understand what you mean. Have you looked at the examples? There is an example for how to group headers, including rowspan.
3 Jan 2011 11:26 PM #3
Thanks for the reply!!
let me explain with some example:
generally we have grids of following type
header1 header2 header3
row1 row1 row1
row2 row2 row2
Now I need the grid in the following way
header1 row1 row2
header2 row1 row2
header3 row1 row2
Please let me know, if you still in confuse
3 Jan 2011 11:29 PM #4
Nothing like this is implemented at the moment. You can greate a custom GridView that could support this. You could also fake it and but the heading in each model for each row.
20 Oct 2012 1:03 PM #5
This is a very common usecase. wherein we may want to have row headers instead of column headers
Column0(Static) Column1(dynamic) Column2(dynamic)
Row 0(static) (dynamic) (dynamic)
Row 2(static) (dynamic) (dynamic)
Examples of this could be:
Platform Baseline 1 Baseline 2
win 32 build success build failed
Linux build success build failed
Is there a way we can achieve this?

text: I'm happy to say that I will not be uploading a lesson based on someone from our history. Instead we will be drawing some characters from games and television shows. To start I will teach you "how to draw Infurnus" from the game Slugterra. Some of you may know what Slugterra is, then again some of you may not. Infurnus is Eli Shane's preferred slug arsenal and he is also one of the rarest. Some of the stats on Infurnus is simple, these slugs prefer to live in lava lakes and fire pits, and they are considered to be powerful fire slugs. The are mainly used for light when in dark areas, they can easily light up any type of fire, and if in trouble, Infurnus can be used as signal flares. Drawing Infurnus is going to be very easy because all he is is a small ball of fire. I shall return so stay tuned in. Adios people!

Texas TributeWritten by on November 28, 2005 Contributors: D. Brian Smith Rhonda Young's Fabulous '52 Ford F-1
How many vintage Ford, Chevy, and Dodge trucks were parked and then stored for decades by owners who were either unable or unwilling to sell or salvage a worn-out work truck? We hear many stories about pickups past the point of dependable work being replaced by newer, more powerful trucks with greater carrying capacity. But for some reason a good number of these tired old trucks have, by the end of their useful life, become a valued member of the family. Here is a heartfelt story we never tire of hearing.
Rhonda Young of Sulphur Springs, Texas, inherited her dad's old Ford pickups when he succumbed to cancer in 1989. A '79 Ford truck was still in running condition, but the old '52 Ford F-1 was in such terrible shape it sat almost forgotten in a storage barn. More than a decade passed as Rhonda earned the position of president of J-B Weld, the family business started by her dad and mom in 1968. She also became more involved with growing J-B Weld into an internationally distributed company, as well as other community projects--as a result, she was too busy to think much about the old Fords.
Finally, several years ago Rhonda found the time to consider what to do with her dad's old trucks. She made some minor repairs to the '79. As for the '52 F-1, Rhonda asked a local friend to just "fix it up" for the occasional parade or local Sulphur Springs vintage car event. Unfortunately, the friend was too busy--and it sat collecting dust for two more years. At this point the busy friend recommended a capable fabrication shop nearby, Hot Rods by JSK, owned by Jeff Kinsey of Cumby, Texas.
Rhonda was at once eager to see some progress, but again, she had to wait until Jeff could schedule time for the complete rebuild in his busy shop. Another year and a half passed before she received the call that would finally see the beginning of the remarkable restoration and transformation.
As a professional shop often does, Hot Rods by JSK began by fabricating new framerails. The strong chassis was created from 1x2-inch rectangular box tubing with ladder-style tubular crossmembers. A bagged Heidt's SupeRide IFS was added to the front and four QA-1 air bags were plumbed to an air-tank reservoir to adjust the truck's all-around ride height. Up front, large 12-inch ventilated disc brakes were drilled and slotted, as were 13-inch discs in the rear. All four disc brakes mount Wilwood calipers for dependable stopping power.
Next, Hot Rods by JSK secured a '00 Corvette LS1 and modified the top of the engine with a custom air box and valve covers. It was hooked to a '00 4L60E AOD transmission. Street & Performance block hugger headers lead to stainless steel exhaust tubes and Flowmaster Hushpower mufflers. More modifications followed as Hot Rods by JSK transformed the '52 F-1 into an industrial work of art.
The fabulous PPG Hot Hues SSR Red F-1 made its debut at the Lone Star Nationals this past September--15 months after the project began. As many owners new to the world of vintage vehicle restoration do, Rhonda learned how extensive a complete ground-up rebuild and restoration of a sadly worn-out Ford pickup could be. But, with hope in her heart and more than a little confidence in Jeff and his talented crew, she allowed his shop to set a course for a distant goal, one that would eventually create an extra special tribute to Sam Bonham.
We're quite sure if Sam could drop in for even a short visit, he would be amazed and proud of his daughter and what she has accomplished--both with J-B Weld and his old '52 Ford F-1. The results speak for themselves--and CCT is pleased to record the successful completion of another poignant chapter in the history of one Texas family's love of a vintage truck. May it remind them of the happy times shared in days gone by and also serve as a vehicle for new treasured memories.

You can't say they didn't try Connecticut Senate Minority Leader John McKinney, R-Fairfield, and House Minority Leader Lawrence Cafero, R-Norwalk, have announced that for the first time in six years, their caucuses will not offer a budget proposal. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's office and legislative Democrats denounced the Republicans. They contend the announcement indicates the GOP will criticize Democratic proposals, but will not put anything constructive on the table. However, as Sen. McKinney noted in a Connecticut Mirror interview, Democratic leaders belittled and refused to consider past Republican proposals. Talk about damned if you do, damned if you don't.

This was my first time to play this course and overall it was a fun one to play. There was a nice variety of holes, most being short but very technical. The tee pads are plastic or some other material that is slippery when sand or water gets on it. We threw from the dirt next to it most of the time. This course is right next to or on the UW Baraboo grounds and there was construction going on and several baskets had been removed. We improvised with hitting a disc bag.

The course is located at the UW Baraboo Campus, in West Baraboo Wi. My wife and I enjoyed the course so much we went back the next day for more. There were some challenging shots in the wooded areas, but overall a medium to moderately difficult course.

Good use of the terrain and it covers a large area, which is great for long drives. There are 2 different tee boxes which give a completely different perspective of the shot. A very fun course. Unfortunately, maintenance is minimal (trash all over) and the tee boxes need improving.

Short tees are easy, but technical. The long tees are very challenging. Half are wooded and half are open. This course is a great course to learn how to throw straight tunnel shots. Fun course that has a lot of variety. Tee pads are the only con to this course. Warped and some have standing water.

Although several of the holes were out of commission when I played this course in early 2012 (due to construction) it was a blast! Many of the holes possess decent elevation challenges and are wooded. Sadly, I also noticed quite a bit of litter and other minimal vandalism. Overall, however, this course is definitely worth an out-of-the-way journey.

Japan Says Recession Has Probably Started
TOKYO—An index of data reflecting the current state of Japan's economy fell in October for the seventh straight month, indicating a high possibility that the country has already fallen into a recession.
The coincident composite index, whose 11 indicators include retail sales and employment data, declined 0.9 point from the previous month to 90.6, the Cabinet Office said Friday.
That led the government to downgrade its assessment of the indicator to "worsening"—indicating, in Cabinet Office talk, a high possibility that a recession is under way—from last month's "signaling a turning point toward the downside." It's the first "worsening" assessment since April 2009.
"The trend is taking hold and there is a greater possibility the economy is in recession, judging from the coincident index," a Cabinet Office official told reporters.
Japan's export-led economy has been hit by Europe's recession, a slowdown in the Chinese economy and continuing tension between Tokyo and Beijing over a territorial dispute.
The Cabinet Office assessment largely reinforces the view among private economists that the economy entered a recessionary phase earlier this year, although it will take more than a year for government-appointed economists to officially define the peak and the bottom of the latest economic cycle.
Many economists say the recession will likely be shallow and short, with the economy potentially starting to pick up by the end of the year.
Japan's economic output was down a real annualized 3.5% in the July-September quarter, the sharpest drop since the aftermath of the March 2011 earthquake. Economists expect contraction again in the current quarter but a possible return to the positive in the first quarter of the 2013, supported by a recovery in overseas economies.
The country's industrial production posted a surprise gain in October, the first rise in four months, helped by improvement in the electronics sector. The data also showed companies expect November output to be down 0.1% from October, but then rebound with a 7.5% rise in December.
The Cabinet Office official said the production data would be closely monitored to see how it actually fares.
In another more-encouraging sign looking ahead, October's index of leading indicators, reflecting the future state of the economy, was up by 0.9 point from September.
"There have been signs of the economy bottoming out," Yoshiki Shinke, chief economist at Dai-Ichi Life Research Institute. "It would not be surprising to see the decline in the coincident index coming to a halt in the near term."
The data showed th e coincident index in October had more positive contributors, including industrial production, than in September. Still, economists said the gloomy assessment of the current state of the economy will likely increase political pressure on the Bank of Japan to take additional easing steps even if there are signs of improvement in the outlook.
On Dec. 14, five days before its next policy-board meeting starts, the central bank will release the results of its quarterly Tankan business-sentiment survey—typically a factor in its decisions.
"It is difficult for the BOJ to take no action if current economic conditions are worsening," said Junko Nishioka, chief economist at RBS Securities Japan. "Regardless of improvement in the outlook, the BOJ will be pressed to ease."

My computer has a PCI Express x16 socket on the motherboard. What is the minimum graphics card I need to get smooth fullscreen 1080p playback?
The minimum? What a question.
I have several nVidia based graphic cards with both 512 MB and 1024 MB in different systems, and both are good for playing high definition video files. The best, of course, is the 1024 MB card, which is not expensive at all.
You may experience a better performance starting at 1024 MB video card. And I am talking to those times when you wish to play a high definition video and do something else. Or when using two monitors to extend the desktop, etc.
There are new video cards with DDR3 memory systems which will absolutely work better than DDR2 memory based systems.
I prefer the nVidia's but I know that ATI's are also good and many people prefer ATI over nVidia and I have seen an ATI RADEON with 3 GB memory system at work, owned by a gamer friend.
Take in consideration that any video card starting at 1024 MB memory system will do the work with ease.
My nVidia models are:
And my favorite and the one that I am using when writing this is the:
This graphic card features no fan and a big aluminum heat sink, which makes absolute silently performance and you won't face the problems when the fan fails because of the dust or typical problems on the fan.
In this link you can find a screen recording of my system when playing a RAW mpeg HD Video file when using dual monitor view. (Take in consideration that I am running in a 2GB RAM system and the screen capture may differ of what I see on this side).
The video is played windowed and full screen in my left side monitor.
For download only, at: http://geppettvs.servehttp.com/resources/desktop.ogv (right click, save target as)
In VLC, Menu "Media" and "Open Network Stream", enter the url and click "Play".
The specs of the video file can be seen in the next screenshots.
My current monitor config in the next screenshot:
I can't provide you with an direct suggestion, but you should make sure to buy an nVidia card with VDPAU-Support. VDPAU provides hardware accelerated video playback for supported formats/codecs. I'm having a GeForce 9600 GT myself and got perfectly smooth video using Smplayer.
No need to incline to Nvidia. Just chose what performs best at your budget. I would also check out the recommended/tested list of graphics card on Ubuntu. Like ATI ones are here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
I used to play HD fine with my ATI HD 4850 512MB. And yes you would need to enable VAAPI support in a player (that has support for it), like mplayer and make sure it actually uses your GPU.

How to Build a Fire
In This Article:
Keeping It Going
A Fine Mess
Never use flammable liquids such as gasoline, lighting fluid, or kerosene to start a fire. Doing so could result in a fire that's much larger than you intended it to be, and possibly an explosion.
If you're using a fireplace with a metal curtain, close and secure it when the fire is going. If there are glass doors, leave them open while the fire is burning.
You can close the flue partway at this point. Doing so will regulate how fast the fire burns. If the room starts to smoke up, open the flue as necessary to increase airflow.
If you're using a wood-burning stove, close the fire door. Use the draft regulator to maintain the desired heat. Be sure to check the manufacturer's instructions for how to operate this device. How you set the regulator will depend on the wood you're using, how much space you're heating, and how warm you want things to be.
Putting It Out
A Fine Mess
If at all possible, never extinguish a fire quickly by pouring water on it. Cooling things down fast increases gas and water emission.
When the time comes to call it a day with your fire, it's best to let it burn out on its own. To expedite things, you can use fire tongs to move any unburned pieces of wood away from the coals. If possible, stand them on end in the corners of the firebox.
Leave the fire alone until it's completely burned out. This can take anywhere from 10 to 15 hours. By this time, there should be no heat coming from the ashes, and they should be completely gray.
Keep the damper open as long as there's wood smoldering in the firebox, and keep the screen pulled until you know that the fire is completely out.
Cleaning It Up
When the fire is completely out, remove the ashes with a metal scoop and bucket. Metal is the preferred material in case any glowing embers remain. If you're not sure everything's completely out, you can add water to the bucket.
Finally, give the ashes a proper burial. If you have a compost heat, they can be added to the mix. If not, place them in a heavy plastic bag and add them to the trash.

Unanswered: How to split a form across tab panels ?Hi!
I would like to split a form across several tab panels to avoid a (very) long form (forcing the user to scroll quite a lot to fill every field).For the moment, I use fieldsets to group fields, but I would like to put the respective fields in separate tabs.Is there a way to do that ?Thanks

You should be able to have a tab panel as a child of a form panel and the fields within each tab should still be found by the form when you do getValues or submit.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

An Anvil of Krong cursed my weapon. Is there anything to do to undo this, or should I just get rid of this item?
As far as I know, it is not possible to undo either the negative or the positive effects of an Anvil of Krong's enchantment.
As explained by DredmorWiki you have a 5/7 chance of gaining a positive enchantment, and a 2/7 chance of gaining a negative enchantment (except the first use that is always positive)
Cursed weapons can be sold to Brax or thrown into Lutefisk Cube.
I suggest you to always enchant something that you can replace with another, similar item in your inventory, in case Krong is angry with you.

We have a long-time user on Travel.SE who has, for whatever reason, gotten overly frustrated, changed his account name, and unaccepted everything, wiping his answers and turning his questions into garbage. What's the accepted process for dealing with this as a moderator? :(
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
Revert his edits. If he continues to vandalize his posts, a suspension would be appropriate.
In general, the content license on Stack Exchange prevents users from taking their ball and going home. Their name can be removed from their contributions (either manually or by deleting the account, if that's what they want), but they can't revoke the permission they gave us in the first place to republish the content.
More details on the licensing here: Why can I only delete 5 posts in a day? Is this legal?
Now, this naturally applies mainly to stuff you want to keep in the first place. If someone's deleting their posts and they suck, you don't have to take the hard line. :)
While you're restoring content, also don't forget to start a dialog with the user. It's fairly rare for an established user to just up and rage, so there's usually something going on that triggers their outburst and often can be fixed. See Thorsten's answer for more.
The very first question which comes into my mind:
I cannot know what exactly happened because Mark does not say what happened, but destroying content means that (if the user is supposed to act normal) feels to have been treated badly by SE.
Which can have several reasons and must not be discussed in detail, but if it is a long-time user and he provided valuable answers (you do not want that his answers are deleted, else you would not care anyway), there is something wrong.
I miss something from the answer of Anna because it seems detached from the user itself, it only views it from a moderator perspective.
One problem with this "This is now our content and you do not may change it !" approach is slow-poisoning: If someone knows that SE moderators try to enforce valuable content, users may try to poison their answers slowly over a longer time so the former valuable content transforms into junk.

I have daily log return from 01.01.2011 to 10.28.2011 and I'd like to compare the total return of that 10 months period (which is of -7.093%) to annual log returns of previous years. I know it's really a simple question but I want to be sure not to make any mistake. Thanks in advance.

Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Log returns are additive. Just add the daily returns together. If you only have one average daily return you annualize simply by multiplying with an annualization factor. Often 252 is used but it depends on your specific use case. In your case you may want to multiply by (days per year / days in 10 months period) Make sure you do not apply the same to volatility. Volatility scales with the square root of time. If you want to know why then Google for properties of Brownian motion.

I imagine that this is not a hypothetical math problem for many of you, and it's very likely to have been done before, but just recently, our first child started Kindergarten. Our youngest is still in Daycare.
We both work full time, and by some miracle we need to also be able to do the following:
- I go to work at 7am.
- Drop off eldest at school at 9am.
- Drop off youngest at Daycare before my wife goes to work.
- I get off work at 2:45
- Pick up eldest at school at 3pm.
- Pick up youngest at daycare sometime after 3.
With, of course, one car. Yes, public transit is available, but not really where we need it to go (of course).

The National Weather Service has confirmed that an EF-0 tornado touched down in Marion County in central Kentucky as rough weather plowed through the state early Wednesday.
Strong winds damaged some buildings, knocked down trees and blew a tractor-trailer off Interstate 24, but few injuries were reported ahead of a cold front moving through Kentucky.
The storms set off tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings along the leading edge and followed with rain and stiff winds. The Marion County twister resulted in a trailer being blown off its foundation and two people being injured.
The weather service planned to survey a dozen locations across central Kentucky on Wednesday and Thursday for evidence of possible tornadoes.
Weather service forecaster Ryan Sharp said wind speeds exceeded 60 mph in some areas, including one gust around 67 mph.

I have been using Todoist to pretty good effect. I would like to understand my tasklist usage better, especially how much I reschedule things for later. Are there any tasklist managers that keep track of a changelog (like a distributed version control system)? Any that organize this information well?
I'm not sure but Track Studio doing what you want. It's not a tasklist manager, it's a Issue tracking system but maybe you can use it for controlling your task changes.
The command-line based software Task Warrior does that. The detail view of a task will include every change made to that task. Completed and deleted tasks will also be logged.
If you can export as text, you can use a diff program or version control to see what has changed between exports. Not as clean as what you would like, however.
Why not consider a plain text todo list file and store it on Dropbox or in a version control system? This won't give you a task level change history but will give you a history of changes.
You can read more about the plain text todo list on lifehacker as well as a good number of other alternatives.
Personally, I have never found a need for versioning my task list. It's normally pretty easy to see if I am procrastinating about a task. The other technique I do use is to not put dates on tasks unless they are time critical. If they are time critical then the task ends up on my calendar. This is a GTD technique that I find very useful.

Due to comment size limit, and code clarity in general, what do you think about shortening urls?
Let's assume following url:
We can shorten it to:
My questions are:
- What do you think about this technique?
- Is it safe for the Stack Overflow system, such as internal functionality like "linked questions" on right side, etc?
- Finally, is it recommended to use full urls, or are both forms considered equal?
- Can there be an even shorter form? It might help with comment size limits, because urls are quite long.

I recently read the beautiful poem by Samuel Coleridge. Why did he call it a rime? I looked up rime on the dictionary, and it means a thin layer of ice; so was the name playing around with the rhyme of the words "rime" and "rhyme" at the same time, referring to the icy time when the Ancient Mariner killed the albatross (that was when the ship was somewhere near the Southern Pole)?

It's simply an archaic, variant spelling. From Wikipedia:
The poem was first published in 1798 - but even by the standards of the time, it had a lot of archaic words and spellings.
It was substantially revised by Coleridge before being republished some 20 years later, but he kept lots of archaic spellings, including rime.
I'd just say Coleridge did this for artistic effect, and leave it at that. But here's some more detail if you want to follow it up.
Look at the age of the book, 1798, pre-dictionary.
It was originally called The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere, some of the words have been corrected. Not all of them have. Rime can still be used for rhyme.

I've been playing quite a bit of gratuitous space battle, and have quickly learned that the best way to keep your ships from turning into piles of burning debris is to equip them with shields. However, I am pretty sure that I do not understand the mechanics in play when using multiple shield modules. This is even more confusing considering that it is possible to mix shield modules of different qualities.
The different types of shield modules differ in strength, resistance and recharge rate, allowing for quite a bit of mixing and matching, so what I hope to get is the set of rules that will allow me to figure out the following two cases at least:
- I use two shield modules, one with high strength and one with high resistance. Do I get the best of both worlds (the total of both modules' strength plus the higher resistance)?
- I install three shield modules. Will they deplete one at a time, or will they "take turns" soaking up damage, lasting longer overall?
