Average survey results
I'm curious which way is correct when rounding whole numbers. My issue is that the customer wants decimal places included in the average when the User only ever will select whole numbers in a range from 1-5. In my head it makes sense to return a whole number instead of a rational or irrational number.
Results out of 5 questions:
Question1 = 4
Question2 = 3
Question3 = 5
Question4 = 3
Question5 = 2
which is correct for the average 3 or 3.4?

Are there any tricks involved in getting plug-in data sources to run at higher speeds, similar to the built in types? I've noticed that a simple plugin-data source will run many times slower than the equivelent data loaded from a shapefile or personal geodatabase, and the extra time seems to be mainly in the rendering phase.
Are there any tricks available to improve this in ArcObjects?

WEIRTON - Williams Country Club's board of directors has until about 6:30 p.m. Thursday to decide if it will accept the $70,000 bid for a 3.45-acre parcel bordering the No. 11 fairway.
The winning bidder of the property auction Tuesday was local contractor Rob Strobel, who has developed properties on both sides of the Ohio River.
"I found out about it just two days ago," Strobel said after the auction concluded. "I'm always interested in looking for properties where you don't have to build streets and lift stations."
Auctioneer Gary Cain last week had said the property, zoned residential, had been approved for single-family homes or condo-style development.
Strobel said the local condo market ranges from senior citizens looking to downsize from full-sized homes to people who work in Pittsburgh but don't want to tackle the high cost of living there as well as oil and gas people who need somewhere to stay while they're working in the Tri-State Area.
"I walked the property this morning (Tuesday)," he said. "It fits right in with what we did in Steubenville at Mission Pointe."
Mission Pointe is an an upscale patio home subdivision on Eldorado Drive in the Country Club Hills section of Steubenville. Its two- and three-bedroom patio homes measure about 1,500-square feet each and are set up for ease of navigation with one floor, no steps and an open floor plan. Each features a good-sized master bedroom with an en suite - an oversized bath, complete with double basins and separate tub and shower - plus a walk-in closet, 9-foot ceilings and two-car garages.
He said contractors as a whole like to "in-fill" small sites nestled within larger, well-established neighborhoods with "single units or a couple units."
"In a down economy, it's hard to put in hundreds of housing units," he said. "We look for infill (opportunities), where we can put six or eight units in at a time."
A Williams board member says the board had the property appraised, but kept the number under lock-and-key until the auction was completed.
"We get to see the appraisal (now) and decide whether to accept the bid," he said.
As the winning bidder, Strobel also will pay a 10 percent buyer's premium totaling $7,000 in addition to his $70,000 bid.

5 Heroic Attempts to Do Good (That Backfired Horribly)
As we've pointed out before, the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and the street lamps along that road are illuminated by feeble attempts at self-improvement. The cold, harsh reality is that sometimes doing the right thing doesn't necessarily pay off. For example ...
#5. A Church Tries to Save an Oak Tree, Ends Up With a Dick Building
Chad Baker/Jason Reed/Ryan McVay/Photodisc/Getty
A group of Christian Scientists found the ideal plot of land for their church. Only one thing stood in the way: a beautiful old oak tree. You know how this story goes: Never let nature get in the way of progress. Besides, if stupid trees are so great, then why did they allow themselves to be used to build the cross that Christ was crucified on, huh? But here the expected story takes a twist, and instead of calling the ancient wonder of nature mere collateral damage in the war for your very soul, the Christian Scientists redid the entire building to work around the tree.
Christian Science Dixon
It's an idea so heartwarming that the blueprints were actually drafted by puppies and kittens.
The church members avoided a possible local backlash, respected the sanctity of the old tree, and at the same time created an environmentally friendly building that warms naturally in the winter without any costly heating. What's not to love?
The Backfire:
Here's what the building looks like from the sky, via Google Earth:
Google Earth
"No, it's uh ... a 'J' ... for 'Jesus' ... yeah."
The aerial image of the Church of the Flaccid Cock went viral on the Internet after it was discovered by a local resident. To add to the hilarity, the church is located in "Dixon, Illinois." And the church's motto? "Rising up."
Proving once and for all that, if there is a God, he's definitely a Cracked reader.
Via Wikipedia
"And lo, the Lord has revealed unto us the 10 Most Holy of Dick Jokes."
As for the church, they've taken the whole thing in good humor, insisting that any resemblance to the male anatomy is coincidental, and that they're planning on installing a "giant fig leaf." But how many times can you be called "the dickchurch" before some of that goodwill starts to dissipate? Truly, the Lord tests us all.
#4. First Responder Fired for Driving Too Fast While Answering an Emergency Call
Thinkstock/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Godfrey Smith was a volunteer first responder in Britain for 15 years. He even cut down his hours at his paying job in order to spend more time (up to 50 hours a week) on his real passion: saving lives for free. So when he got a call about an area man who was having trouble breathing, he strapped on his superhero codpiece, got behind the wheel, and raced to action.
Thinkstock Images/Stockbyte/Getty Images
"Dispatch? Yeah, he's wearing ... it again. Please advise."
The Backfire:
Racing, even to action -- even to save a life -- is frowned upon. Smith discovered that little fact after his latest rescue, when he learned that he'd been fired for speeding.
We can understand how there might be two sides to the story of a volunteer worker overlooking the speed limit -- you don't want him endangering lives with his souped-up muscle car, rocketing about the city at breakneck speeds, no matter how noble his intentions may be -- but Smith wasn't some reckless speed freak. It turned out that his company had just installed a new GPS system in his car, and it was all kinds of dysfunctional. His satellite navigation system told him he was traveling at just above the speed limit, which was 30 mph, but in reality the limit was only 20 mph. Plus he drove around a traffic bollard rather than ... through it, we guess? A week later, the ambulance service gave him the bad news and he was unceremoniously let go for that one slip-up out of 2,000 successful calls. That's right: "Too fast, even for life-saving purposes" and "an unforgivable infraction, despite exemplary service" is doing a paltry 13 mph over the speed limit and driving around a glorified traffic cone. Just one more time: His total, completely reckless speed was a super-sonic 33 mph. You can exceed that on a bicycle if there's a particularly bitchin' hill, but not to save a life.
Medioimages/Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images
"Take your 'novelty sign' excuses elsewhere; failure to yield is failure to yield."
The absolute worst part? Much like Dante from Clerks, Smith wasn't even supposed to be there that day. He normally worked in a much smaller town that he was actually familiar with, but Oxford begged Smith to come help them instead, because they were crazy busy. Then fate put on its best ball-kickin' shoes, and the rest is history.
#3. Mining Company Accidentally Fills Creek With Concrete Trying to Repair Area
Australian mining company and possible Game of Thrones character Glencore Xstrata faced some very negative press after they accidentally ravaged a protected national park with a nearby mining operation. As understandably distraught as you can imagine a mining company would be over the loss of precious wilderness, the company did actually offer to repair the damage. And for once, they followed through! They sent a dozen concrete trucks to grout up cracks in a badly damaged ridge above a naturally flowing creek.
Just like nature intended.
The Backfire:
Nobody was monitoring the trucks that were spewing tons of concrete onto the ridge, so nobody noticed that the concrete was flowing right back out again and pouring into the creek below, turning it into a long concrete sidewalk. It was 3 feet deep in some places.
Darren Pateman
Most creeks aren't quite this stand-on-able.
Australia's environment minister has vowed to force the company to undo the damage they caused in their attempt to undo the previous damage they caused, but like ... how? Is this going to get better when you give Slapstick Mining Co. permission to bring jackhammers into the forest? They should probably just cut their losses, admit that nature is totally fucked, and call it kind of a lame new skate park.

Prove that the set of functions $f: \mathbb{Q} \rightarrow \{1,2,3\}$ is uncountably infinite.
I'm totally stuck on this one. We have just been shown Georg Cantor's diagonalization argument in class for why $\mathbb{R}$ is uncountably infinite (and I for the most part understand it---assemble an enumeration for the reals, then proceed down the diagonal changing the number in that position to create a number that will not be on the list, since the number will differ from the i-th number in the i-th position), so I'm assuming we're going to have to assemble some sort of similar argument for this.
Anyone able to prod me in the right direction perhaps? This is homework so I'd like to not get an answer (until maybe after the deadline), but maybe a starting point or reference (which I can cite) to get me thinking about it the right way.

I have been playing halo wars since the game came out(forever ago). Only recently, the last few months, has this strategy emerged. Me and my friends have lost around 50 games to this rush. We have found no way to stop it when the rush is preformed perfectly. When the rush is preformed perfectly it looks something like this:
- Both Arbiters make their Temples first, after it is complete they lock their base
- Both Arbiters start making Suicide Grunts immediately after Temple finishes
- Arbiters make their way to the enemy base
- By the time the Arbiters arrive they have around 4 suicide grunts each, which is enough to kill the base with extras left over
- They blow up the first base and move on to the next
- (see below) They regroup and attack the second base, followed soon after by the third base.
(6) if the person who got attacked first has turret(s) up, they can usually weaken or kill a couple of grunts before they hit the base, requiring more grunts to hit the base before it gets blown up. This usually causes the Arbiters to destroy the base and then retreat. By this time they have eliminated one of your teammates. By the time you and your teammate get back up and running, you are being overrun by the enemies tanks.
Things we have tried to stop/prevent the rush:
- Build warthogs to try to ram and kill the grunts before they hit the base - fails every time because the Arbiter kills the warthogs instantly with the Rage ability.
- Run over to the Arbiter's base before they let the grunts out and wait. Once the base opens Mac Blast the grunts(kills them instantly). - this fails because now the other Arbiter has a full army of grunts and blows up your base. Your teammates don't have enough time to get you another one and by the time your teammates recover, you are yet again overrun by tanks.
- Rush the Forge player with full out Warthogs and Hunters - this fails because the 2 Arbiters have enough time to individually blow up all your bases while you are trying to fight forge, if the Arbiters fail destroying your bases and you defeat Forge, you win but his is extremely rare.
- D-Bomb both of the Arbiter's pads when they show up at your base - this fails because the Arbiters retreat and just wait for the D-Bomb to go away which is super frustrating.
We thing we have come up with to win every time is to make it a Mirror Match (both sides have the exact same characters). To us this really isn't in the sport of the game, why play halo wars if your going to play boring rush games every time? Here is how we usually setup the teams:
Covenant - Prophet(2)
UNSC - Cutter(1)
UNSC - Anders(3)
Covenant - Chieftain(1)
UNSC - Forge(2)
UNSC - Anders(3)
Covenant - Chieftain(3)
Covenant - Prophet(2)
UNSC - Cutter(1)
The numbers are the order of our skills (1 is the best). We usually have the best player play as Cutter because he is essential in stopping a rush (a well placed Mac ruins an Arbiter's day).
Does anyone know of a counter-rush for this? Which characters do you need to be? Does it work on all of the 3v3 maps? All relevant answers are appreciated. Thanks for reading!

Could someone please explain why the "Lach" in Modim Anachnu Lach is not "Lecha"... I guess this is some grammatical point rather than the use of the feminime "you"?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
The "Modim anachnu lach" in davening is a quotation from Divrei Hayamim I 29:13. "L'cha" becomes "lach" because of the etnachta, which is a pause in the pasuk.
As avi answered, (1) Lach is an acceptable form for males in Biblical Hebrew. I think that one will typically find this in more polite speech.
More than that,
(3). It is an alternation in Biblical Hebrew for the pausal form. Just as Lemech becomes Lamech at an etnachta or silluq (or sof pasuk), so does Lecha become Lach in these positions. Prayer is based, often, on Biblical Hebrew, and indeed employs pausal forms. E.g. gashem, atta with a kamatz and stressed on the first syllable, and so on.
In terms of (2), that it is a way of referring to Hashem in the feminine, I doubt it because Modim continues she-atta rather than she-at.
You will find people giving two answers.
I heard that we are grateful to the Ebishter's motherly side. We are thanking Gd for Mercy and so we appeal to the grammatically Feminine words for Gd (such as the Shechinah); as the above comment states. Remember Shabbat is the Queen. And since we were created in Tzelem Elo-kim as demi gods with creative powers, this must mean that everyone has both male and female components to our soul.

A relative of mine got an iPad about a year ago and has not updated it until November after he asked me to help him with the update. We had updated it to the most recent ios possible at that time using his apple account. Later, after the update was completed, he asked me to show him the iCloud. i have logged in using my apple id to show him exactly what it is and now apparently his iPad is locked for 3 months. Has anyone hear of anything similar? Is there any fix?
I believe this is associated with automatic downloads and/or iTunes Match. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
This article makes it sound like you can only sign in with a different account every 90 days, but this doesn't seem to be the case in my experience. I regularly sign into different accounts on our family's iPad when downloading apps and this has never been a problem.
I've only gotten warnings regarding this 90-day lockout when enabling iTunes Match.
The article also notes that:
It looks like you'll have to contact Apple if you want to have the device reset.

CNN cited the American Immigration Council's recent report ...
New Mexico: Immigrant Entrepreneurs and Innovation in the Land of Enchantment
In New Mexico, there is no doubt that immigrant entrepreneurs and innovators play an important role. Immigrant entrepreneurs bring in additional revenue, create jobs, and contribute significantly to the state's economy. Furthermore, highly skilled immigrants are vital to the state's innovation industries, and to the metropolitan areas within the state, helping to boost local economies.
Immigrant entrepreneurs contribute significantly to New Mexico's economy.
- From 2006 to 2010, there were 11,440 new immigrant business owners in New Mexico, and in 2010, 12.6 percent of all business owners in New Mexico were foreign-born.
- In 2010, new immigrant business owners had total net business income of $389 million, which is 8.9 percent of all net business income in the state.
- New Mexico is home to successful immigrant-founded companies, including two of the state's largest supermarket chains, El Mezquite and El Paisano.
Highly skilled immigrants are vital to New Mexico's innovation industries, which in turn helps lead American innovation and creates jobs.
- In New Mexico, 45.1 percent of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) graduates at the state's research-intensive universities are foreign-born, and 60.5 percent of the state's engineering Ph.D. students are foreign-born.
- In 2011, the U.S. Department of Labor certified 653 H-1B labor certification applications in New Mexico, with an average annual wage of $71,063, which is higher than New Mexico's median household income of $44,631 or per capita income of $23,537.
- An expansion of the high-skilled visa program would create an estimated 1,500 new jobs in New Mexico by 2020. By 2045, this expansion would add around $654 million to Gross State Product and increase personal income by more than $613 million. The following is an example of metropolitan area demand for high-skilled foreign-born workers.
- The Albuquerque metropolitan area had 277 H-1B high-skilled visa requests in 2010-2011, with 53.7 percent of H-1B visa-holders working in STEM occupations. A major employer with a need for H-1B high-skilled workers is the University of New Mexico.
While the numbers are compelling, they don't tell the whole story.
- Immigrant entrepreneurs not only contribute to large innovative companies, but to small-business formation in local communities. In towns across New Mexico, immigrant family-owned small businesses contribute to the vitality of their local communities. Although initially aimed at other immigrant customers, many businesses quickly see an expansion of their clientele to include a diverse array of immigrant and native-born customers alike.
- Sergio Bermudez and his brother, originally from Mexico, founded their first El Mezquite grocery store in 1998. Today, El Mezquite is one of the fastest growing Latino immigrant-owned businesses in the state, with six large market locations around central New Mexico employing more than 220 people and serving around 40,000 customers per week.
- In Santa Fe, immigrant-owned "mom-and pop" small businesses are found throughout the city, catering to the culinary, retail, and service needs of a diverse immigrant community. These businesses include the Mendoza family's furniture store, Muebleria Familiar, on Cerrillos Road, Pedro Solis' Guadalajara Grill, Sofia Trejo's Zapatos Gala, Jesus Marquez's Tortas Chihuas sandwich shop, and Mariola Mendoza's La Tiendita.
- In Albuquerque, immigrant small business owners representing a variety of countries of origin add to the food, retail, and service offerings of the state's largest city. Such immigrant-owned businesses include Song Choi's (from South Korea) Hiland Coin-Op Laundry and Cleaners, Vicky Truong's (from Vietnam) Saigon Restaurant, Gladys Manfredi's (from Colombia) All the Americas grocery store, Jaime Flores' (from Mexico) Carniceria Flores, Mahmoud and Manal Manasra's (from Palestine) Petra Café and Restaurant, and Bounphom Limary's (from Laos) Ta Lin Wholesale International Foods and Restaurant Supply.

"The Great Crisis and the Predator State"
James K. Galbraith
Lloyd M. Bentsen Jr. Chair and Professor of Government
University of Texas at Austin
Saturday, April 17, 2010
7:30 p.m.
Moore Hall auditorium
Noted economist Dr. James K. Galbraith brings to AUM's Durr Lecture Series his insights about the political and corporate forces that shape the American economy. His presentation will draw heavily from his research on the measurement and understanding of inequality in the world economy -- research that also is the basis for his latest book: The Predator State: How Conservatives Abandoned the Free Market and Why Liberals Should Too (2008).
Galbraith holds the Lloyd M. Bentsen Jr. Chair in the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin and directs the University of Texas Inequality Project, an informal group researching economic inequalities. In addition, he is a senior scholar of the Levy Economics Institute and chairman of the Board of Economists for Peace and Security, a global professional network.
He holds degrees from Harvard and Yale and studied as a Marshall Scholar at King's College, Cambridge in the 1970s. He later served in several positions on the staff of Congress, including executive director of the Joint Economic Committee. He was a guest scholar at the Brookings Institution in 1985 and directed UT's Ph.D. Program in Public Policy from 1995 to 1997.
A prolific writer, his books include Balancing Acts: Technology, Finance and the American Future and Created Unequal: The Crisis in American Pay. His book Inequality and Industrial Change: A Global View is co-edited with Maureen Berner. He also co-authored two textbooks, The Economic Problem with the late Robert L. Heilbroner and Macroeconomics with William Darity Jr. In addition, Galbraith writes a column for Mother Jones and provides occasional commentary in many other publications, including The Texas Observer, The American Prospect, and The Nation.

The location in New town is great - close to everything. The unit it self is sad! There are 48 stair steps to get to the 3rd floor unit. The apartment itself is just 3 rooms a tiny kitchen and a bathroom. There is no pace to go and sit except for your room. The house is dirty -- not just moderately unclean but dirty. I cleaned the knobs on the stove and the front door on the washing machine. Then I realized that I had paid a lot of money for this bedroom and I shouldn't have to clean. I always wore my sandals in the kitchen because the floor was sticky. The carpet looked like it hadn't been vacuumed in a month or more. In our room there were two different places that we could put our clothes but they were filled with one of Jim's friends clothes and extra pillows and blankets. We did have a closet to hang clothing so we didn't have to live out of our suitcases totally.
Please understand Jim is a great guy -- he waited for us to come to help carry our suitcases up all those fights of stairs and he was helpful as to where to go and what to see. He just needed to hire a cleaning person once a week to clean the rooms.
Very friendly host, who told us about the sights and nice palces in Edenburg, and recomanded a very good and cheep restaurant to eat very good haggis. In the house and the kitchen is was not very clean, but we had a nice room and a good warm shower.
Take attention by parking your car, You have to pay for parking and it's quite expensive .
Jim is actually very nice and easy to work with, and - very important - the bed is good. However, the traffic roars all night outside on the cobblestones, and the sun rises in the Scottish summer very early on. I had an eye shield (meant for air travel) and buy earplugs so I could sleep. For traffic Jim can not help, but good, thick curtains would make a big difference.
Jim ist tatsächlich sehr nett und umgänglich, und - sehr wichtig - das Bett ist gut. Der Verkehr rauscht jedoch die ganze Nacht draussen auf dem Kopfsteinpflaster, und die Sonne geht im schottischen Sommer sehr früh auf. Ich musste eine Augenblende (gemeint für Flugreisen) und Ohrstöpsel kaufen, damit ich schlafen konnte. Für den Verkehr kann Jim nichts, aber gute, dicke Vorhänge würden einen grossen Unterschied machen.
Fantastic location, near transport, you need no car and no public transport to reach everything on foot. Jim is a very nice and friendly host. We enjoyed :-)
Fantastische Lage, verkehrsgünstig gelegen, man benötigt kein Auto und auch keinen öffentlichen Nahverkehr, alles fussläufig zu erreichen. Jim ist ein sehr netter und freundlicher Gastgeber. Wir haben es genossen :-)
Jim is a very friendly host. He gave us many useful tips for our visit in Edinburgh. The location is near the center. Judith and Joachim, Switzerland
We had a superb stay at Jim, the apartment is very well located, and with Jim is delicious, it made us feel very welcome and is always ready to help or advise. Ideal for exploring Edinburgh!
Nous avons passé un superbe séjour chez Jim, l'appartement est très bien situé, et la compagnie de Jim est délicieuse, il nous a très bien accueilli et est toujours prêt à aider ou conseiller. Idéal pour découvrir Edimbourg !
Friendly and unobtrusive host. Housing very well located and perfectly suitable for affordable vacation.
Hôte sympathique et discret. Logement très bien situé et convenant parfaitement pour des vacances à prix abordable.
Jim is nice though someone strong housing it offers is not at all welcoming, flagrant lack of cleanliness, the most basic facilities, very noisy room overlooking paved urban road where tenfold sound resonance. Too bad because a good location.
Jim est quelqu'un de fort sympathique cependant le logement qu'il propose n'est pas du tout accueillant, manque flagrant de propreté, équipements des plus sommaires, chambre tres bruyante donnant sur voie urbaine pavée d'où une résonance sonore décuplée. Dommage car très bien situé.

On the Eve of the One Year Anniversary of My Bone Marrow Transplant
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
Copyright © 1998, Jeff Cohen
Dear Friends,
I find myself typing this email on the eve of the one year anniversaryof my bone marrow transplant, searching for the right words to thankeverybody for all of the things they have done for me during the past year and ahalf. It is amazing to think that it has been 18 months since mydiagnosis, that treatments are behind me, and that life seems to bereturning to normal now. Yeah, I still have a ways to go with myimmune system, but marrow wasn't built in a day.
At some point of every day I find myself reflecting on everything thathas transpired, and I realize that I am better for having experienced this.
By"better" I mean that I have a greater perspective on what is important,have a greater recognition regarding how to lead my life, and I have aMUCH greater appreciation for all of my friends. Everyone on this emaillist and countless others have far exceeded any expectations I could havehad.
Your support, cards, gifts, calls, prayers and kind thoughts haveplayed a very large part in my recovery. Its funny, several times I have heardsomebody say to me "Jeff, you really have had a great attitude towardsall of this" or words to that effect. I find that to be funny because mycommitment to getting healthy is in very large part because people gaveme so many reasons to live. I couldn't help but notice so many people atMayo that simply did not have the support structure necessary to survive.Friends and family offer hope, love and strength. I consider myself tobe the luckiest person in the world to have had and continue to have somany of you there for me. I can never repay you. I can only thank you.
As for you, Alice, you'll always be one of my favorite sisters, despitethe fact that I now have allergies, am now grumpy in the mornings, and havehad to change my blood type from an A+ to a more modest A-. I guess its a package deal. Thanks for the stuff!!!
My very best wishes to you all.

Dead now, hope some Deals.woot.com pplz snagged some.
Had two in my cart. Made it all the way to paypal and then everything freezed up on me. Just got off the phone with TD...sold out.
Got a 16 all the way to checking out then couldn't pick shipping options. Went back to start over again and 16 was gone. Got a 32 all the way to checkout and soon as I hit finish it says no items in my cart.... How frustrating....
I tried to get the 16GB, but it stalled on paypal screens. Then it said I had nothing in my cart.
I was eventually able to get the 32GB one, but I didn't really want to spend that much money today... I got caught up in the BOC-like excitement and purchased impulsively. Hopefully I don't regret it. Maybe I can sell my Chinese android tablet to recoup some dollars.
The order shows up on my tigerdirect account, but when I click it to see the status, I get an invalid zip code error. Address is ok in confirmation email, so I should be ok.
This looks a lot like a phishing expedition on TigerDirect.com's part.
"Looking for the HP Touchpad.....enter your email address and we'll notify you when available".
UM, HP is making more so they can sell them, not TigerDirect.com. They just want to email you advertising!
@redfactionkiller: - i signed up back when tiger first gave the option and this is the ONLY email i've received from them since...
son-of-a!... I just got this email:
Thank you for subscribing to get special alerts on the highly allocated HP TouchPads and for attempting to place your order. Unfortunately they sold out within minutes from us sending the earlier email about a batch of inventory we received.
Since you attempted to place your order online, you might receive an order confirmation, however we do not actually have an order pending for you. Becasue of the quick sell out and the depletion of inventory your order was not completely processed.
As you know these are available on a first come, first served basis. As promised, every time we get more, we will alert you first.
We apologize for the inconvenience and we appreciate your business.
Well, my card was charged, so I better be getting a refund!
sold out in minutes...
Well...despite getting the email above, I'm now able to look at the order status on tigerdirect AND I have a UPS tracking # next to the tablet! So far it just says a shipping label was printed, so I'm not holding my breath. It also shows that the keyboard is backordered and that neither it nor the charging dock have shipped. I guess I'll wait patiently and see what happens...

Are posts supposed to have parents? If so, what would that mean for a post to have a parent?
Also, if there are some constraints to posts having parents, then where is that enforced? Not in the DB as I see it.
Out of the box, no, posts can't have parents. They can be assigned to categories, which can be organised hierarchically. Pages, however, can have parents and you can build a menu structure out of them by using that feature.
As to where this is enforced: The parent of a post is stored in the column "post_parent" in "wp_posts". It's not really enforced as such, just the default UI doesn't give you an option to set it and default WP coding doesn't use that value for Posts. It wouldn't be too difficult to create a custom post type to have posts with parents though.
Wp has built in "Pages" (hierarchical, parents allowed) and "Posts" (non-hierarchical). There are also other post types, but let's leave that away.
If the Q results in:
Then the answer is Yes,… you can have "posts" that are hierarchical. But as they are not built in, you'll have to register your own Custom Post Type - see Arguments » hierarchical.
Such "Posts" (or articles, whatever, …) will then - in case they have a parent post - have set the parent ID inside their object. So in a loop you could do the following:
From a search engine perspective, two of these answers combined will help Google to track the hierarchy of your posts, as well as users of course.
Then go to WP-admin-panel > settings > permalink and choose the last option "custom structure" and add following in it:
and save changes. It will be only applied to your blog page, other page will not display blog as parent."
This way, Google sees the hierarchy in sitemaps as domain.com/page/post (in that order) and will also find the content in the same place. As will users. Job done.
Suppose you want to append blog before post in url than make sure that your blog page's slug name is blog .
Then go to WP-admin-panel > settings > permalink and choose the last option "custom structure" and add following in it:
and save changes.
It will be only applied to your blog page, other page will not display blog as parent.
I know this is an old post. However none of these answers are correct, and I wanted to post the solution I used to solve this problem. The best way to set a parent page through all of your posts is through the (Appearance -> Customize) menu. You can set a static page for your home page or posts page. When you set a static post page, that page will be the parent for every individual blog post.

A New Andy Murray: Warm and Cuddly
Wimbledon, England
When Andy Murray hired Ivan Lendl at the end of 2011, he knew of Lendl's reputation as a tireless worker and competitor who showed no emotion on court. He didn't know about the pranks.
"He's completely different from what I expected," said Murray, who will play in his second Wimbledon final Sunday, against top seed Novak Djokovic. "He jokes around most of the days, and so long as I'm working hard and doing the right things on court, he's happy."
The book on Murray is that he's the most meticulous tennis pro, and perhaps athlete, in the world. But beyond the legendary coach, the army of trainers, the psychologist, the finely-tuned sports drinks, ice baths, massages, daily weigh-ins, and oh-so-precise diet, the most valuable element of the improved Andy Murray is something easy to overlook: having a laugh once in a while.
An early sign that Lendl would bring some levity to Murray's life: At their first team dinner, prior to the 2012 Australian Open, Lendl suggested they all meet at the hotel food court, rather than one of Melbourne's many fine restaurants.
"He doesn't really taste anything," Murray said. "He told me that if he could he would eat all of his meals in a shake form. So if he could put his steak in a smoothie maker, he would drink it. He just can't be bothered."
At Murray's practices, there's plenty of hard work, running, drills and grueling points. But Team Murray likes to keep the mood light. They play mini-tennis, using a portion of the court. They bet. They talk trash. Danny Vallverdu, Murray's hitting partner, jokes about Lendl's physique—"Hide it!" he yelled when Lendl changed his shirt at a practice in Boca Raton, Fla., earlier this year, revealing his paunch—while Andy Ireland, Murray's physiotherapist, ribbed Lendl for his part-time travel arrangement. "No half days here," he said. "This isn't the coaching department."
Lendl does his best comedy off court. When Murray and Vallverdu took a body-fat test this year—you have to submerge yourself in a tank of water, exhale and wait for a signal to come up—Lendl grabbed the test monitor's hand so she couldn't knock on the glass during Vallverdu's turn. "He comes up 20 seconds later panicking! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" Lendl said. "Guess what he called me? It wasn't pretty."
Lendl doesn't play tons of tennis these days, but he's still addicted to competition. So when Jez Green, Murray's strength and conditioning trainer, bet he could beat Lendl in a race on the VersaClimber exercise machine, Lendl trained like mad—and won. Green had to interrupt Murray's pre-tournament news conference at the Australian Open this year and tell the assembled media that "Ivan is a far superior physical specimen to myself."
There's no tennis player who must withstand as many outside pressures as Murray. He's the best male British player since Fred Perry, and the first to win a Grand Slam singles title since Perry did in 1936. And besides him, there are no other contenders to be found. At last year's Wimbledon—Murray lost in the final—the attention was overwhelming.
"It was so big, I could feel it," Lendl said. "It got to the point where I couldn't go out to have dinner without people swarming all over, so can you imagine what it was for him?"
Lendl didn't have the same outside expectations when he played, but he knew Murray's internal anxiety all too well. That's part of the reason he suggested Murray meet with Alexis Castorri, the sports psychologist who worked with Lendl for several years during his career. "She helped me a lot," Lendl said.
At Wimbledon last year, Murray cried during the trophy ceremony after he lost to Roger Federer in the final. Rather than descend into one of his mopey Murray funks, he recovered immediately and won the gold medal in singles at the Olympics and his first Grand Slam title at the U.S. Open.
He's now better at dealing with adversity. When the roof over Centre Court was closed because of rain in last year's final, Murray faded and Federer began to fly. On Friday evening, when tournament referee Andrew Jarrett said the roof would be closed after Murray took a two-sets-to-one lead against Jerzy Janowicz, a nation began to worry. Murray let loose.
"It's an outdoor tournament!" he said to Jarrett. "It's nowhere near dark. You can play for at least 45 minutes, an hour more."
Murray had won five games in a row at that point. But when play began again, the angry Murray was gone. He broke serve in the third game of the set, moved better than he had all match and smothered Janowicz 6-7(2), 6-4, 6-4, 6-3. Asked what he did during the delay, Murray told the BBC he showered and spoke to his team—and found some amusement in Janowicz.
"He was on his phone," Murray said, laughing. That's all you need to know about the new Murray: Even in the middle of a Wimbledon semifinal, there's room for a little humor.

This is talking about a promise to meet at a certain place. However, is it grammatically correct? Is it badly phrased? It seems that it can be misinterpreted to mean that at a certain place a promise was made to meet, rather than promising to meet at a certain place later.

It is grammatical (as far as it goes - I assume you're using it as part of a longer sentence!).
It is also potentially ambiguous, as you say - it could be interpreted to mean the place where we made the promise rather than the place where the meeting will take place. However, it is more likely to be interpreted the way you want; moreover in context it is unlikely to cause much confusion, especially if there are more cues in the sentence to indicate which meaning is intended, for example:
This is very unlikely to be interpreted as the place where we made our agreement.
To remove any ambiguity (although I agree with @psmears that the sentence is unlikely to be misinterpreted) you could use meeting place or meeting point.
However, the place that we promised to meet has some poetic vein to it that is lost in the above example.
If confusion reigns due to misunderstanding of that phrase, try changing it a little so that it retains it romantic taste while being absolutely clear:
There can be no ambiguity about the above.
For a rather archaic, but unambiguous option you could use tryst or trysting place.
Yes, there is ambiguity from the possibilities that you could be discussing the content of the promise or the situation of the promise's making.
I think that while mildly ambiguous your phrase would be clearly understood, and that if you were intending to refer to your location at the time of promising, you would use additional words to distinguish this meaning.
It's like if you said "I kissed her in the belfry", someone could ask "what part of the body is that?" But it would be only as a joke because your meaning was clearly understood as the most likely.

What is old earth creationism? What support does it have from the Bible? What mainstream denominations or groups, if any, support it?
Sign up

Old Earth Creationism is the belief that the world was created but is contra Young Earth Creationism in terms of age. It does not specify an age, but instead assumes that current scientific dating is at least reasonably accurate.
If one does not literally interpret Genesis 1 in terms of days, we have an uncertain time since the creation of the world. If one does not interpret Paradise (which may have been created in 6 literal days) as the same world that we inhabit (consider other differences as well) then we do not have a certain date from the Bible other than the time at which Adam dwelled on Earth.
Most mainstream Protestant denominations at least support it, and it has support in both Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, though it is not considered dogmatic (you have Young Earth Creationists as well.) In general, groups which support Biblical Literalism will be more likely to consider Young Earth Creationism dogmatic or at least doctrinal, whereas other groups tend to leave it open to interpretation.
Among Church Fathers you have some who interpreted Genesis literally and assigned a Young Earth friendly age, whereas others spiritualized the days. The spiritualization of the days as a pattern in interpretation seems to originate with Origen, but probably predates him. Note that Origen is condemned as a heretic in Eastern Orthodoxy, while not all of his interpretive devices are, since non-condemned Fathers supported them.

If a woman keeps her maiden name what is the proper way to address her?
Mrs, Ms, or Miss?
I have seen it done multiple ways, but am unsure what is the proper way.
If a woman keeps her maiden name what is the proper way to address her?
Mrs, Ms, or Miss?
I have seen it done multiple ways, but am unsure what is the proper way.
It is proper to refer her as Ms Smith (for example) regardless of her martial status. Since the woman in question kept her maiden name, I would opt for this title or use the appropriate occupational title (e.g. Doctor Smith, Professor Smith, Major Smith, etc.)
Miss is a title for an unmarried woman, and is not acceptable.
Ask the lady how she wishes to be addressed.
In my experience "Miss" as an honorific is really on the outs. It is used to refer to young pre-adulthood girls primarily now. Generally, in my experience, single women prefer "Ms." FWIW, Wikipedia tends to agree with this view.
As a matter of fact, I think "Mrs." is on the outs too. This is much less so than with "Ms." but usually I'd use it only with women who I knew tended toward a more traditional view, or when used in a mixed context with her husband, such as "Mr. and Mrs. Jones."
However, that is my opinion and experience only. I am sure that this is very culturally dependent.
As a general rule, you can't go wrong with "Ms." I think in the specific context of your question, I'd say "Ms." is always correct, and "Miss" might be acceptable if old fashioned and possibly patronizing, and "Mrs." is probably wrong.
If the woman chooses to hyphenate, (Mary Smith-Jones) I think either "Ms." or "Mrs." would be acceptable, and "Miss" would be wrong. If her maiden name was first I'd go with "Mrs." if her maiden name was last, I'd go with "Ms."
One other brief thing: I think a period is optional after both Mrs. and Ms. but is incorrect after Miss. This doesn't make much etymological sense, but it does seem the common usage.
There's what etiquette purveyors say we should do and then what people actually do.
What people currently do in everyday speech is to avoid Mrs/Ms/Miss entirely (Mr also), and only use titles for doctors/professors/judges/mayors/presidents (hm what do military people expect when conversing with civilians?).
If (as a commenter pointed out) you need to address them without knowing the first name, then you do use a title and there is no question about whether they're married or not. You'd use the title 'Ms' followed by the last name of their choice.
I suppose it has been addressed already in etiquette manuals (which you should consult instead of here in order to answer 'what is proper?'). On formal invitations, consult the latest Miss Manners. Formally, I'd expect a problem since saying 'Mr. and Mrs. John X' (when the wife is named 'Jane Y' sounds antediluvian, but 'Mr. John X and Mrs Jane Y' sounds like they're not married.
But when talking to or referring to someone, it'd be perfectly proper to not use Mrs/Ms/Miss/Mr.
This is not so much an issue of proper English as it is a matter of modern etiquette. Putting Mrs in front of a surname indicates that the woman is or was married to the Mr by the same name. Putting Mrs in front of woman's maiden name makes it sound like she is married to her father. Many woman who keep their maiden names much prefer Ms. and will tell you if they prefer something else.
I'd suggest that
It is usual for schoolchildren to address female teachers as

text: For my fourth tutorial, I will be showing you all how to draw spiky anime hair. This particular type of hair is usually used for intimidation or show of power in many instances. Most of the time, it is also used to show differences between anime character personalities. If you haven't noticed, it seems to me that anime characters with spiky hair in any color tend to be more mysterious than others. Take Kakashi Hatake from "Naruto" and Ryuk from "DeathNote" as two prime examples. Spiky hair is personally one of my favorite styles of hair to draw. Anywho, let's get on with the tutorial and I hope you all enjoy it!

I have heard various opinions on how long a person should stick to a weightlifting routine before changing it up. Some have mentioned 8 weeks, others 12 weeks. How long should duration be? Also, should the routine be changed drastically? So can some of the staples of lifting like the flat bench press be kept in the routine?
Sign up

Depends. You could still be progressing in your weight lifting routine (still able to add more weights) after 8 weeks depending on where you started. By 12 weeks, I would say that generally many people would be close to if not at the point of plateau after doing the same stuff that whole time.
My program changed every month (with 2 work-out routines that alternated) by increasing in duration, added work-outs, and increased difficulty variation of a previous exercise. There were some repeat exercises in there though. For me, it was nice changing every month because the exercises always felt "new" which helped my mental stamina a lot.
Bench press isn't the only way to target your chest muscles but if you like that exercise then keep it!
The change doesn't need to be drastic. You can change up your routine in many ways:
Ultimately, you will be able to tell when it's time to change it up. And if you are still feeling good, change it up when you want to.
If by "routine" you mean exercises, some exercises will almost always be applicable to your routine. Small modifications (as suggested by Rhea) can help ensure you target all muscles and maximize your Range Of Motion (ROM). Overall, however, power exercises like the bench press, squat, and deadlift can remain a vital piece of any routine.
If by "routine" you mean weight, sets, and reps, look into the concept of Periodization. Furthermore, the "Super-compensation effect". This is the key piece of information exercise physiologist use to ensure no "plateau".
Ideally, you want to alter your resistance every day, month, and year (microcycles, mesocycles, and macrocycles respectively); however, only slight changes should be made. It is important, for the sake of completeness, to further read on periodization before implementing it in your routine.
You should never do the same exact routine twice in a row. The first time you do any routine, let's assume you're muscles are 100% challenged. If you do the same routine the next time, your muscles will only be 90% challenged. The next time you do the same routine, your muscles will only be 81% challenged. Etc, etc.
On the other hand, if you do a different routine every single day, your muscles will always be challenged to the maximum. They can never get use to a given routine because it's constantly changing. This will stimulate your muscles to continually grow. There are enough exercises, enough different ways to do them, and enough different orders to do them in that you should be able to go for years and years without repeating a single routine.
Take your bench press for example. There is the flat bench, the incline bench, the decline bench, even the military press, and Arnold press. They all work the same muscle groups. Now add in wide grip, normal grip, and narrow grip. Do them with low weight and high reps or high weight and low reps. Add chains, use dumbells instead of the bar, throw in some 21's, etc. There are so many variations just to that basic exercise if you use a little imagination.
Don't repeat workouts, change it up and you'll constantly be challenging your muscles to grow.

Let $X$ be a simplicial set. Let $X\to \Delta^n$ be a right fibration (has the right lifting property with respect to right horn inclusions), and let $$\Delta^{\{n-i\}}\hookrightarrow \Delta^{\{n-i,\dots, n\}}\hookrightarrow \Delta^n$$ (for a fixed $i: 0\leq i\leq n$) be the obvious inclusion maps.
Then why is the induced map:
$$X\times_{\Delta^n} \Delta^{\{n-i\}} \hookrightarrow X\times_{\Delta^n}\Delta^{\{n-i,\dots, n\}}$$
a deformation retract? It's not like we can apply Whitehead's theorem, since $\Delta^n$ is not a Kan complex in general.

To the editor:
This section of the Herald-Star receives some very well- written letters that are used for thank-yous and pleas for help, as well as political comments.
Following the Barry Bardone-J. David Core saga is quite entertaining, and sometimes it seems it would be better placed in the conic section.
I normally do not pay much attention to the babbling of these two and their constant political dribble. The last two complete sentences in the letter from Core that appeared in the Oct. 13 issue, did, however, get my attention ("Another look at the facts.")
The writer, it is evident, did not take Religion 101.
To compare the three "deities" mentioned as the same, is as false a statement as has ever been made. The writer's credibility, as to the truth and "those are the facts" statements have been very deeply bruised.
I would ask that if people are going to call things the truth, that they be sure that it is.
My deity tells me "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor." Exodus 20:16 (KJV)
We are all neighbors in this world.

9 Extreme Versions of Things You Loved as a Kid
As we've mentioned before, while most of us reach a certain age where we're willing to dump the entire contents of our childhood closet into the yard sale bin in exchange for more liquor-n-condom money, there are those who prefer to let their hobbies grow along with them. And we say "grow" in the literal sense, because some of these adult versions of the toys we loved as kids are almost devastatingly huge.
Sit back and let your inner child scream with jealousy at the sight of things like ...
#9. A Call of Duty-Style Nerf Sentry Gun
Like most toys from our childhood, Nerf guns have evolved over the years -- for instance, did you know they now have a whole line of pink guns and bows for girls called Rebelle? Somehow, just adding pastel colors wasn't enough to satisfy Nerf addict Britt Liv, so she created a modern-day Nerf gun better suited to her (terrifying) needs:
Britt Michelsen
She tried to upgrade a Super Soaker too, but it violated the Geneva Conventions.
Not only can the Nerf Vulcan Sentry automatically shoot darts of foamy death at your opponents while you sit back and laugh at their misery -- you can also set it to discern potential targets based on shirt patterns, meaning it will shoot only those you've labeled as your enemies (like, say, anyone wearing a Tapout T-shirt).
Britt Michelsen
We're pretty sure that's exactly how the military version works, too.
You can read the step-by-step instructions on how to make one here, but if this one's too complicated/intense for you, Liv has also posted tutorials on how to mod several other Nerf gun models to shoot faster, harder, and generally kick more ass. She even designed an in-barrel meter that can track how fast the darts are shot out, presumably in order to calibrate the exact amount of force necessary to kill a grown man with a small foam projectile.
Britt Michelsen
She's either the biggest Nerf fan ever or the world's least intimidating super villain.
We imagine it's only a matter of time before Nerf wises up and hires this woman to design their actual products. Expect a consistent increase in dart-related eye injuries when this happens.
#8. A Full-Size LEGO X-Wing
Emmanuel Dunand/AFP/Getty Images
Hey, look what someone left in the middle of Times Square:
Emmanuel Dunand/AFP/Getty Images
The next Godzilla movie ends with him stepping on this and letting out a string of expletives.
If you're anything like us, you just stared at that thing for a full 10 seconds before noticing the people around it and realizing that, holy shit, that's a freaking full-size LEGO X-Wing. You can sit on it and everything. And yes, it's made out of actual LEGO blocks; it's not a plywood mock-up made to look like it:
Brian McConnell
They probably didn't fly it into Times Square, but we can't prove they didn't.
Created as a promotional stunt for a Star Wars something or other (nice try, Disney), they used regular LEGO bricks to make bigger ones -- five million tiny blocks total to build the 42-foot-long, 11-foot-tall, 46,000-pound, 1:1 scale replica of Luke Skywalker's ship. It took a team of 32 builders to put this together, but first they had to construct an elaborate metal framework, the blueprint for which is only slightly less complicated than the assembly instructions for your average LEGO set.
Lego Systems Inc
Mark Hamill sold separately.
The whole thing was constructed at LEGO's facility in the Czech Republic and then transported to Times Square (a trip that presumably took considerably longer than 12 parsecs), where throngs of Star Wars fans got to slaver it with nerd drool before it eventually made its way to its final home at LEGOLAND in California. This is the world's largest Star Wars toy at the moment, and we say at the moment because we assume LEGO is already working on a full-size Death Star somewhere around the orbit of Saturn.
#7. Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots You Ride In
Even though we've landed on distant planets and smashed atoms at near-light speed, we believe the best indication that we're already living in the future is the new breed of $17,000 Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots, which suggest we're headed straight to the world depicted in Real Steel.
via GizMag
Does this mean science is close to inventing a real Hugh Jackman, too?
While not an official revamp of the classic toy, the basic rules are the same: The red robot has to punch the blue robot until it connects a blow to the head, and vice versa. The main difference is that in this case you're actually sitting inside the goddamn robot as you spam those punch buttons.
These "Bionic Bopper Cars" have bumpers implemented to keep you at punching range and are fully mobile in all directions, with hidden wheels powered by a Honda gas engine that grants a top speed of 3 mph. You could probably buy an actual Honda for the same money, but then how would you punch that SUV with the "Keep the White House White" bumper sticker?
Also, the robots have a 300-pound limit, so even the most sedentary of our species can become ass-kicking harbingers of destruction. Or, if you'd prefer something equally futuristic-looking but with a little more speed, the same company occasionally sells street-legal, lithium powered Tron Light Cycles for only $55,000.
Parker Brothers Choppers
They'll knock it down to $50,000 if you don't show up to buy it in a Tron Guy costume.
#6. A Water Slide With a 17-Story Drop
As kids, we all went through that rite of passage that was sitting on top of a slide, having second thoughts about sliding down, and then being pushed by some asshole kid standing behind you. Well, good news: You can now relive and amplify that terror as an adult, thanks to the Verruckt, a water slide named after the German word for "insane." We'll let you guess why.
Schlitterbahn Waterparks
Yup: You'd have to be verruckt in the head to ride it.
At approximately 17 stories (around 170 feet), this affront to the water park gods is taller than Niagara Falls and could comfortably hock a loogie into the Statue of Liberty's torch. It won't be measured exactly until spring (it'll take that long to unfold the measuring tape), but the makers' website claims Verruckt is taller than any ski slope. We're gonna go ahead and believe them, because this motherfucker looks like the Olympic ski-jump ramp's bigger brother that smokes cigarettes and drives a '92 Camaro.
The park is located in Kansas City, Kansas, and will open in May 2014. So if you're reading this after that date, you may have already seen the first casualties in the news. Shit, just climbing up there will be scary enough: It's 264 steps to the top of the slide. At that point, you and three others enter a raft (secured by a "tunnel of netting") and are given a few seconds to pay tribute to the Virgin Mother before you plunge at speeds that are illegal on some highways.

It doesn't need any water -- you'll release enough urine to lubricate your entire fall.
#5. A Roadworthy Cozy Coupe
The universal sign that a man has hit his midlife crisis is the moment he buys himself that flashy car he always wanted when he was younger. John Bitmead from England, however, went further back than most men for inspiration. Way further.
Caters News Agency
They didn't have giant baby strollers at the dealership.
Yes, that is a grown-up version of the Little Tikes Cozy Coupe, which was at the bleeding edge of childhood automotive technology about 20 years ago (today, they're still useful for collecting rainwater in people's front lawns). So, where did Bitmead buy this beauty, and do they take Monopoly money? Nowhere, actually: He made it himself by taking apart a Daewoo Matiz. He even removed the car's windshield in the name of accuracy, but made sure to include seatbelts and airbags to make it street legal.
Caters News Agency
Incidentally, this makes it safer than most commercial Daewoo models.
Also, he made it so the ignition looks like a big button, because of course he did. Other than that, it's a completely normal, functional car: It runs on good ol' British unleaded petrol, and its 800cc engine can propel it to 60 in a sizzling 17 seconds. Bitmead, his brother, and a friend put a grown-ass-man amount of work into this project, clocking in around 1,000 hours and dropping $60,000-plus to shape his dream car. Was the investment worth it? We'll let his expression in the following photo answer that question:
Caters News Agency
Wait, you don't propel it with your feet, Flintstones-style? This is bullshit.

At the time buying the Seagate 3TB GoFlex Home NAS drive seemed like a good idea. That was six months ago. The family 1TB back-up drive had run out of space and $300 for 3TB seemed like a good deal.
On one level it was. The drive is fast – at least on paper. The GoFlex Home is relatively easy for family members to use for back-ups on the home network – once I've done all the hard work setting things up.
I'm not happy because the drive comes with inadequate software and Seagate's after sales support is abysmal. The performance is not that great either.
Seagate's hardware is unusual. A hard drive sits in a dock – in theory that means you can swap more capacity in and out at the drop of a hat. The base unit includes a Gigabit Ethernet port which brings us neatly to my first complaint – although my desktop and router both support Gigabit Ethernet, I've never been able to coax anything more than speeds associated with much slower networking out of the device.
Can I find any support to deal with this problem? Not a sausage.
Bundled documentation is almost non-existent – you have to go online for that. The included apps couldn't run on my Windows 7 64-bit system – I've not bothered to check for updates since upgrading to Windows 8. When I tested them with one of the older PCs on our network I wasn't impressed.
And the user interface is written in Flash – need I say more?
So, I continue to use the drive, but as a dumb, slow NAS box sitting on the network and only occasionally switched on and not buzzing away as the hub of my family's digital entertainment.
Eventually I won't need local back-up – but fibre doesn't roll down my street for years and data caps mean backing-up everything online isn't practical yet. That's a shame, because I'd like to have a more efficient way of keeping my data safe.

In Breaking Bad season 4 episode 1 "Box cutter", Gus kills Victor. Why does he do this? What does he gain from it other than scaring Walt and Jessie? Or is making them fear him his only motive?
I've always assumed it's because Gus knows that Victor was seen at the house (the house where Gale Boetticher was murdered by Jesse Pinkman) -- remember that Victor and Mike had a conversation about the fact that he'd been seen (Mike was upset at it, and Victor didn't think it was that big of a deal). Gus isn't one to leave any possibility that he could be discovered by Victor's carelessness, so he knows it has to be done.
Of course, he does it in the way that he does as a power play, hoping that the shock of it will convince Walt and Jesse to fall in line (i.e. "Hey guys, if I'm willing to kill my trusted assistant because he screwed up, do you really think I won't do it to you if it comes to that?")
Just before Gus kills Victor, Walt monologues about how Victor is not as good of a cook, how he needs Jesse alive to help him cook, etc
Gus's subsequent actions act as a punishment to Victor for being substandard, while simultaneously yet silently "accepting" Walt's request to leave Jesse alive.
The act of Gus slicing Victor's throat demonstrates his ruthlessness and willingness to "just get the job done", which serves as a message for Walt and Jesse, that he won't accept excuses or messing around. Gus eyes them both up afterwards to ensure they understand their place and then leaves.
There is no need for Victor to be killed. In fact for a person who takes fastidious care of his employees it is a very bad move. Victor being seen was not that big a deal. He might even have been able to manufacture Meth. At least he would have been useful as a reminder that Walter is not indispensable. There is absolutely no need for him to be killed. However, if you were writing the scene, how would you have it resolved? Gus comes in and just tells Walter to go back to work? Just admitting that he had been outsmarted? Gus picks up a cutter but then does not actually does anything with it? The writers went with the shock and drama that the sudden killing of Victor produced.
I believe he did it
Gus kills Victor because Victor has shown himself to be irresponsible and untrustworthy.
Victor has created loose ends, and in many ways his actions exacerbated a bad situation to the point that Walt and Jesse had to kill Gale.
I'm sure that the manner of his death is also meant as a warning to Walt and Jesse, and I'm also sure that Gus' anger at Victor wasn't a show. But either way Victor had to go.
There are many reasons:
There is another possible reason mentioned in Season 5 Episode 3:
Someone had to be killed by Gus Fring to show that he wasn't a man to be trifled with and because his plans to use Gale and eliminate Walt and Jesse had been circumvented. With only five people in the room, who else could he have killed?
That left Victor.
Killing Victor offered the greatest amount of shock value with the least amount of damage to Fring and his criminal organization. Victor certainly didn't help his case by speaking as it focused Fring's attention and anger upon him. However, it's likely that he would have been killed anyway as Fring needed to make a point.
Some points from me. Victor was a very loyal and dedicated team member, and Gus being a man of reason must have had a strong motive to eliminate him. There was a pause before he killed he when he thought this through, so that's definitely not an impulse.

The deal for up to 60% of Beach's interests in two blocks in central Australia's Cooper Basin cements Chevron's status as one of the biggest investors in natural gas down under. It is already leading development of the Gorgon and Wheatstone LNG projects in Western Australia state.
By ROSS KELLY
SYDNEY -- Chevron said it will buy Australian shale gas assets
from Beach Energy for up to $349 million, placing a bold bet on
the potential to replicate the US boom in unconventional gas
output in the Outback.
Chevron is acquiring stakes in an area covering 810,000
acres -- equivalent to three times the size of Hong Kong --
that is largely untested for shale gas but near pipelines
connecting with several multibillion dollar gas-export facilities being built by rival
energy companies on the eastern coast.
The deal for up to 60% of Beach's interests in two blocks in
central Australia's Cooper Basin cements Chevron's status as
one of the biggest investors in natural gas down under. It is
already leading development of the Gorgon and Wheatstone
liquefied natural gas, or LNG, projects in Western Australia state
worth a combined $80 billion.
Global interest in shale gas is intensifying due to rapid
growth in production in the US, where the unconventional fuel
now accounts for more than a quarter of its natural gas
But industry executives caution that output could be slow to
take off elsewhere due to factors ranging from different
geology, a lack of infrastructure and concerns over technology used to get the gas
flowing from dense shale rock formations.
Shale gas is likely to be more expensive to produce than
conventional gas and coal seam gas in Australia, given the
shale rocks have to be smashed open with sand, chemicals and
water in a process known as "fracking".
Beach has drilled several wells exploring for shale gas in
permits in the Cooper Basin, and has reported encouraging
results. Competitors are also investing in exploring the area
-- Santos in August said shale gas from its Moomba-191 well
flowed at a commercially viable rate of 2.6 million standard
cubic feet per day.
Chevron, the second-biggest US oil company behind
ExxonMobil, is buying up to 60% of Beach's interest in two
blocks. Beach wholly owns one block and has a 60% stake in the
other where the remaining interest is held by small Australian
explorer Icon Energy.
"We believe that shale gas production from the Cooper Basin
will be required longer term to offset domestic supply
shortfall and possible supply to LNG trains, but there is still
a considerable amount of work required," says Stuart Baker, a
Sydney-based analyst at Morgan Stanley.
Beach has previously estimated that there could be more than
300 trillion cubic feet of gas beneath land it holds in central
Australia. That's roughly equivalent to ten times US gas
consumption in 2011, and dwarfs the 40 trillion cubic feet
contained in Australia's largest conventional natural gas field
-- Gorgon -- located offshore Western Australia state.
"We have an industry-leading queue of LNG projects under development in
Australia and this agreement provides an opportunity to explore
a new, prospective basin and potentially add to our natural gas
portfolio," Roy Krzywosinski, Chevron's Australian head, said
in a statement.

Need stronger material for brush cover

Comments about iRobot Scooba® Cleaning Head:
I love my Scooba. I can get it going scrubbing my floors and I can sit and rest while it is doing that. It is a little time-consuming to clean out each time, but I think worth it. One problem is that a place on the brush cover broke. It is just a thin plastic and where it broke is only about a 1/8 of an inch or less. Needs stronger material there!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

WACO (October 2, 2012)—A fire early Monday morning that damaged a longtime Waco business was intentionally set to cover a burglary, a Waco fire marshal said Tuesday.
The fire marshal said the origin of the fire has not yet been determined because the blaze burned so intensely that an exact starting place hasn't yet been found.
The fire marshal also said it's unclear just how the fire spread, but said there is no question that the blaze was intentionally set.
Acting Assistant Waco Fire Chief James Monroe said fire damage to the Azbell's Electronics building, in the 1800 block of Speight Avenue, was primarily confined to the rear portion of the building.
The fire caused damage in excess of $100,000, the fire marshal said Tuesday, but an exact cost of the damage has not yet been determined.
The first unit was sent to Azbell's at about 3:30 a.m. Monday and immediately requested more units to respond.
Monroe said the first engine company was able to knock the fire down quickly, but the nature of the older part of the structure required close inspection to ensure the fire was out.
Damage to the storage area was extensive, but was more limited in the newer parts of the building, Monroe said.
No one was injured in the fire and in spite of some damage the building was not destroyed.
Azbell's, founded by Billy Lee Azbell, Sr., has been the electronics and communications business in Central Texas since 1945.
The business has occupied its current location since 1949.

On a cold, rainy morning at Aveda, we casually asked the makeup artist for products to take us from the office to a cocktail party. Suddenly, Rasmussen launched into a full lesson. She pointed out that despite our skin's olive undertone, it's actually quite fair, meaning much of our makeup was too dark. She pulled out a surprising number of pinks, which we'd always thought were too light for us. But these deep, shimmery ones gave us a sexy, healthy radiance. She darkened and highlighted one eyelid, then handed us the brushes and coached us through the other one. When we left Rasmussen, we felt and looked a lot warmer.

Feeling like half the world's oil reserves were buried in our face, we were shocked when our facialist applied a hydrating oil before she cleansed. Her explanation: Oil attracts oil, helping to remove it from the skin. Next came extractions and a salicylic-acid-and-rice-bran scrub. Then she smoothed on a moisturizing mask and gave us a foot-and-leg massage while it baked. She even sent us home with a skin regimen to promote oil conservation.

Midwest winters are harsh and inhospitable. Mazak, on the other hand, is quite the opposite. She carefully scrutinized our dry skin—kindly keeping her opinions to herself. Instead of extractions, she applied a soothing fruit mask to pull out our impurities. While the mask baked, she gently probed our neck and shoulders. The finishing touch: a face massage that gave our cheeks a healthy, sun-kissed flush.

The tree, dubbed "the village pharmacy" in India, yields bark extracts known for their healing and energizing properties. We felt instant relief on our dried-out, dull skin as Lobeck covered our face with a mask of neem and green tea, applied a thick rose-and-lavender mask, and dotted Sundari's blend of neroli and eucalyptus oil on our fine lines. As we left, we marveled at the difference; we'd arrived sallow and sickly but departed with depuffed eyes and a refreshed face.

Subject: [OMPI devel] Memory hooks change testing
From: Brian Barrett (brbarret_at_[hidden])
Date: 2008-06-09 22:56:30
Hi all -
Per the RFC I sent out last week, I've implemented a revised behavior
of the memory hooks for high speed networks. It's a bit different
than the RFC proposed, but still very minor and fairly straight foward.
The default is to build ptmalloc2 support, but as an almost complete
standalone library. If the user wants to use ptmalloc2, he only has
to add -lopenmpi-malloc to his link line. Even when standalone and
openmpi-malloc is not linked in, we'll still intercept munmap as it's
needed for mallopt (below) and we've never had any trouble with that
part of ptmalloc2 (it's easy to intercept).
As a *CHANGE* in behavior, if leave_pinned support is turned on and
there's no ptmalloc2 support, we will automatically enable mallopt.
As a *CHANGE* in behavior, if the user disables mallopt or mallopt is
not available and leave pinned is requested, we'll abort. I think
these both make sense and are closest to expected behavior, but wanted
to point them out. It is possible for the user to disable mallopt and
enable leave_pinned, but that will *only* work if there is some other
mechanism for intercepting free (basically, it allows a way to ensure
your using ptmalloc2 instead of mallopt).
There is also a new memory component, mallopt, which only intercepts
munmap and exists only to allow users to enable mallopt while not
building the ptmalloc2 component at all. Previously, our mallopt
support was lacking in that it didn't cover the case where users
explicitly called munmap in their applications. Now, it does.
The changes are fairly small and can be seen/tested in the HG
repository bwb/mem-hooks, URL below. I think this would be a good
thing to push to 1.3, as it will solve an ongoing problem on Linux
(basically, users getting screwed by our ptmalloc2 implementation).
