Lemon poppyseed muffins with crystallised lemon
Recipe: Lemon poppyseed muffins with crystallised lemon
- 2 cups (260 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter (or margarine)
- 3/4 cup (200 grams) granulated white sugar
- 2 eggs
- Grated zest of one lemon
- 1 cup (240 ml) vanilla yoghurt (I used fat-free, but regular is fine too)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Optional: Lemon slices (sliced very thin!), slivered almonds, marmalade
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C)
- In a medium bowl, mix flour, poppyseeds, baking soda and salt
- In a large bowl, mix (with a hand mixer) butter and sugar until it gets sort of creamy. Add the eggs in one at a time, then add the zest, vanilla and yoghurt and beat until it's all mixed well.
- Mix in the flour mixture with a wooden spoon until everything is combined, but don't go too crazy. You want to keep some of the air in.
- Spoon into muffin cups.
- Top with slivered almonds, or a thin lemon slice with about a teaspon of sugar sprinkled on it.
- If you want to go with marmalade, fill a third of the muffin cup with batter, make a little hollow in the middle, spoon in some marmalade, and then add another third of muffin batter.
- Bake for 18 – 20 minutes (it should be a light golden colour) and cool on a wire rack.
Quick Notes
* This recipe should make about 12. Since I didn't fill my muffin cups to the brim, it made 15 for me.
For more of an orange-y flavour, you can also add the zest of one orange (in addition to the lemon) and top with a thin half slice of orange.

I'm making a screencast tutorial of a webapp. It's primarily boring.
Can anyone recommend an appropriate soothing background music from the FCP audio content?
This will be my first time using Final Cut Pro X (or any video editing software).

This question came from our site for engineers, producers, editors, and enthusiasts spanning the fields of video, and media creation.
During the tutorial I'd recommend that you didn't have any music playing at all, it can be distracting to your audience and even sometimes annoying for somebody who is trying to follow what you are saying. I would however suggest that you use music in your intro and outro at the beginning and end of the tutorial respectively. There are loads of great Apple loops to choose from, some that you should try out are, Adrenaline Electronica, Crime Lab, Phazed and Infused, Sixties Rock Short or Whos Blues Short...At the end of the day it's all about what goes with the video, but I would definitely just leave music for an intro and outro...The best tutorials are the ones that are easy to follow, clear and concise...your audience will be watching it to learn not to be entertained, so I wouldn't worry too much if you personally find it boring!
Hope this helps!
Educational screencasts (tutorials) shouldn't have any background music when instructor speaks. Commercial clips on the other hand should. Please note that no standard exist for these items. Rather, there are some de-facto conventions and patterns which people follow. See Youtube, Vimeo, or other video sharing sites and search for many tutorials. You shouldn't find tutorials with background music.
Therefore, I think that not having a background music for a tutorial is a kind of norm in the world of education, which means that if you want to be normal (someone who follows norms) you gotta avoid putting background music. However, please also consider that this is your tutorial and you're free to do almost whatever you like to do with it. Who knows, maybe your tutorials become new models for other educational screencasts.
As a technique for making your tutorials more appealing, I recommend rising and falling your voice. Also use good color, typography, and layout for your presentation slides. Good video and audio quality and having no noise is also another factor which matters. Good luck!

Occasionally we need to deploy fairly complex changes to a website which require changes to databases (new or changed tables) and dynamic source code (such as PHP or ColdFusion). What is the best way to package and deploy these changes quickly without breaking everything on the live website?
Short answer: it is a pain in the neck!
I have had to do this several times (and every time makes me want to think about my design more on the next project I do). What I do is to fork the codebase to a Development section (or folder, or server, etc) so that I can work on it separately to make sure all the bugs are out before moving to deployment. I then create a SQL script which always has the same first two lines:
This will ensure that the script puts everything into a completely fresh and empty database. The rest of the script will recreate all tables that I'm reusing from the old database into the new one. Then I will create the new (or modified) tables into the new database. Finally I will move all the data from the live server to the development server. This can take a long time depending on how much data you are moving and how fast you can move it, so I recommend that you think about the script carefully because the less you are forced to run it, the better.
After I have the new development database up and running, the rest is to create the new code to use it. Once that is hashed out, then deployment should be relatively easy (though possibly time consuming). Simply use the same script to copy all the new live data to the new database on the deployment server, and copy all the new code there, and you are done!
This is how I do it, and while it is a pain, it does work. If there is a better way, I'd be happy to listen.
Update: In response to Tchalvak's comment, yes I usually use the following to get all the table definitions without their actual data:
I will then alter this script as described above.
To gain "the ability to rollback", I really suggest getting to know (well) either git or mercurial (distributed version control systems).
The days when you should work with your source code in flat files is over with (now you should work with it in flat files but have a really robust change control system tracking them).
I generally do (for LAMP style sites):
If you are running a cluster, then you may have bigger headaches with site state, caches and so on.

6 'Based on a True Story' Movies with Unpleasant Epilogues
#3. Jamie Escalante's Calculus Empire Comes Tumbling Down
The Story You Saw: Stand and Deliver
Jamie Escalante (played by Edward James Olmos) is a cockeyed, leather-faced optimist who thinks he can turn around Garfield High School, an academically troubled school in Los Angeles, by getting his students interested in math. After facing the standard resistance put up by high school students in an '80s movie led by the guy from La Bamba, Escalante eventually wins them over.
"Woooooo. Neither one of us is ever going to be in another good movie."
He teaches them advanced-placement calculus their senior year, and all of the students pass the rigorous AP exam, giving them access to a better future. When the Educational Testing Service calls bullshit, Escalante's students retake the test and destroy it a second time.
The Unpleasant Epilogue
Things at Garfield High went pretty well for a few years. Any student who could spell "AP" was allowed to take calculus with Escalante. Soon he and two other teachers had calculus classes with over 50 students, far past the 35-student limit set by the teacher's union. Escalante was faced with the choice of closing his open-door policy or allowing even more teachers in on a piece of the lucrative AP market. Neither of these appealed to him.
"According to math, I believe the correct answer is 'Fuck you.'"
The premiere of Stand and Deliver in 1988 only made things worse. Escalante was soon receiving in-class visits from celebrities like President George H.W. Bush and then-actor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Evidently this drove the other teachers into such insane fits of jealousy that they wrote Escalante hate mail and threats.
"I'm a math teacher. Death threats come with the territory.
Escalante and another calculus teacher got fed up and left Garfield in 1991. Pretty soon the passing rate for the AP exam dropped into the single digits, and the school was worse off than before.
#2. Julie Powell from Julie and Julia Writes About Her Twisted Sex Life
The Story You Saw: Julie and Julia
Julie Powell is a 20-something who helps families of September 11th victims claim their benefits. Naturally, this makes her feel that her life has no meaning, because all of her other friends are successful businesswomen. So to search for more purpose than helping those affected by 9/11, she decides to blog about cooking all 500+ recipes in famous chef Julia Child's cookbook.
"I think the most rewarding part of my day was teaching a 9/11 widow to make a good roux."
Julie's excessive devotion begins to cause concern among her friends and family. Even her super-supportive husband eventually gets fed up and leaves for a short while, which may be the first time in history a man has left a woman because she cooks too much food. Somehow Julie's blog gains traction, she mends her relationships with her husband and family and a literary agency decides to purchase the rights to her incredibly unremarkable story.
"We want just the right level of over-saturation to bring all the moms in."
The Unpleasant Epilogue
As we saw above with Erin Brockovich, fame changes people. While Julie was portrayed in the movie as a spunky and relatable 20-something looking for meaning in her life, the real-life Julie changed quickly when her book was accepted for publication. Just before her book came out, Julie repaid her incredibly supportive husband by having an affair.
What separates this from your run of the mill "newly famous person goes though sexual partners like buffet items at Golden Corral" is that Julie at least had the decency to admit to her affair ... in her next book, Cleaving, a title that in this context suddenly sounds disturbingly sexual.
And/or downright homicidal.
In the book, Julie goes on to disclose that another one of her hobbies is sadomasochism -- sex involving significant pain and/or humiliation. And who among us isn't immune to bouts of self-punishing sex with random strangers? Even her husband, Hollywood's depiction of an unrealistically supportive and perfect mate, doesn't survive the book unscathed. When he found out that his wife was having an affair, he decided to fight fire with fire and embarked on one of his own, which makes a sequel to Julie and Julia virtually a guarantee. And considering how popular super dark and gritty sequels have become, we will probably watch it.
#1. Stella's Impossible Love Story Turns Out to Be Impossible
The Story You Saw: How Stella Got Her Groove Back
Stella Payne is a 40-something stockbroker and divorced mother who doesn't have time for anything in her life but work. Convinced by her friends that she needs to relax, they all take a vacation to Jamaica. While there, a Jamaican native named Winston Shakespeare (go back and read that again -- this is actually his actual name) is attracted to Stella, and she falls for him despite the fact that he's only 20 years old and probably just looking for someone to touch his boner.
"And then can I get a ride home? My RA hates it when I'm back past 11."
Shockingly, he's still interested in Stella after the two are intimate, and they develop a real connection.
Stella returns home, but she can't manage to get Winston off her mind. The two continue to correspond, and eventually Winston crashes a funeral to prove his love to Stella, because that's how you do that. In a completely unexpected turn of events for a romantic drama, the two lovers break up for a short while, but have a miraculous last-minute reconciliation at the airport and presumably live happily ever after.
And Whoopi Goldberg happens, because it's the '90s and sass is required.
The Unpleasant Epilogue
If we learned anything from How Stella Got Her Groove Back it's that a 20-year-old is capable of having a mature and fulfilling relationship that's not based on sex. This is still technically true for the real-life Stella, author Terry McMillan, who wrote the book on which the movie is based. See, her real-life Jamaican lover based their relationship not on sex, but on a love of getting the fuck out of Jamaica by any means possible, even if that meant faking interest in an American tourist twice his age.
No one with that beard is looking for true love.
That's what McMillan is alleging in court documents related to the couple's extremely bitter divorce. But that fact alone isn't why the couple is separating -- as it turns out, Jonathan Plumber, the real-life Winston Shakespeare, is actually gay, which explains the hot pink sleeveless shirts and all the dancing.
"Jesus Christ, Whoopi. I swear to Jah I will get a restraining order."
Plumber is firing back at McMillan, claiming that she's homophobic and trying to force him back to a tumultuous Jamaica as punishment. If that weren't enough, Plumber is also trying to take millions of dollars from McMillan by invalidating their prenuptial agreement, though to be fair she did earn most of that money from the book and subsequent movie based on their feigned relationship.
"It would have been easier just smuggling marijuana."
So if you're a middle-aged lady on vacation in a foreign land and you get approached by a striking young local, just know that he possibly sees you as nothing more than a green card dispenser, especially if you look like you and he looks like Taye Diggs.

5 Things You Won't Believe Spawned Black Markets
#2. Raw Milk and Cheese
If a certain food item made people sick and led to a quarter of all food-related outbreaks in North America, you'd think we'd all agree that it would probably be a good idea if we stopped consuming it, right? And if there was a way to make that food safe and disease-free, you'd think we'd be on board, right?
Eh, sure.
This was the situation with raw milk, which was regularly contaminated, possibly because of the fact that it came untreated from the pinched teats of a barnyard animal. Eventually, regulations were put in place in Canada and 11 U.S. states making the sale of raw milk illegal, requiring all milk to be pasteurized in order to stop further outbreaks and illness and cheese made from raw milk to be aged before consumption (which helps, contrary to what you're probably thinking).
But apparently the fact that pathogens, parasites and even poop can find their way into raw milk isn't terrifying enough for some people. For a select few, it didn't seem to matter that, without any pasteurization, there was no way for lovely things like E. coli and salmonella to be killed before it was consumed by people. When raw milk was banned, a bootleg market sprang up, along with a flourishing culture around the illegal goods.
"The Maytag blue curdles when the Colby crows. You have the Gorgonzola?"
We can only assume this meant Prohibition-era gangsters opening up raw-milk speakeasies, doling out half gallon bottles to the tune of secret knocks and handshakes. There are actually articles teaching you how to score raw-milk cheeses illegally, advising potential law breakers about viable stores and coaching them to drop the right hints to trigger the illicit transactions, using key phrases like "special" and "in the French style" to tip the shopkeeper off that you're looking to sling some cheese.
An activist group made up of mothers and their supporters was formed to petition for the right of people to buy E. colicious doo-doo milk and transport it across state lines. They call themselves the Raw Milk Freedom Riders, and we are in no way making that up.
"Wherever a child drinks milk without vomiting, wherever people are willing to
exchange slightly lessened allergies for E. coli, we'll be there."
But perhaps the most vocal and astonishing of the raw-milk advocates is one Michael Schmidt. In order to promote the legalization of raw milk, Schmidt has gone on a hunger strike, vowing to drink only water until he either dies or is given an audience to try and change the legislature. While we admire his courage and tenacity, we'd like to point out that, as stated above, raw milk is only illegal in 11 of the 50 U.S. states. So instead of the whole starvation thing, maybe just move?
"Is that what you would have said to the SLAVES?"
#1. Bees
If you found a huge beehive in your garage, your first thought would be to try to figure out how to kill the bastards without just burning the whole garage down around them. It probably wouldn't occur to you that your infestation is valuable to the point that somebody might try to steal it.
"Hot damn, is that a cockroach? This, sir, is a gold mine."
But bees are in short supply right now; populations have recently been suffering due to colony collapse disorder, and no one is exactly sure what causes it. Unfortunately, this makes it a lot harder for beekeepers and farmers. Normally, beekeepers will rent their hives out to farmers whose crops need some sweet cross-pollinating bee sex, with the price of a hive depending upon the total amount of bees that the keepers have in their stable, so to speak. With bee populations dwindling, the keepers have fewer bees available and the price to rent one of their hives skyrockets.
And of course, that's where the black market comes in. Some enterprising individuals have begun sneaking into apiaries and stealing entire hives (over $300,000 worth in California alone). The thieves take the hives, dump the bees into new containers and then sell them back to the farmers.
This rarely works, because individual bees are so damn distinctive.
Hive snatching had always been a danger in the past, but because of the population decline, theft has become almost epidemic. The farmers take numerous precautions, including branding each hive with a state identification number and even installing microchips that can be tracked a la LoJack, but the thieves can get around both of these measures by switching the bees into their own containers. And it's very difficult to tattoo the name of your farm onto an individual bee.
"Shit, I can't even read this. Maybe an anchor tramp stamp would work."
We must admit, the rogue bee-trading business seems to attract some particularly adept thieves who either have nerves of steel or are completely unaware that bees can kill you, because we're not talking about a couple of guys tossing bikes into a pickup truck at one in the morning -- these people are swiping 3-foot-high wooden crates full of angry bees. An entire colony of stinging insects can reduce even the most stalwart master criminal to Macaulay Culkin in My Girl.
"Bees? No, these are ... flies. Because the body of a former child star is in here."

Vitouch et. al (2006) observed that "visual tempo significantly influenced the retrieved music tempo.".
They conclude:
On the other hand, an older paper by Levitin and Cook (1996) observes that long term memory for music can preserve the absolute tempo, even by non-trained musicians. They do not investigate the influence of visual stimuli as in the previous paper.

Top Christmas Movies of All Time
3 of 15
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Ahhh, family Christmas. In this laugh-out-loud movie from 1989, Clark Griswold (played by Chevy Chase) is gung-ho about having a good old-fashioned family Christmas—even when his dead-beat brother shows up and parks his RV in the driveway... and the cat gets electrocuted by the Christmas tree. After all, it's not Christmas without a little drama, right?

Governor's Weekly Radio Address, Budgeting for the Next Generation
Governor Scott Walker delivered the weekly radio address titled, Budgeting for the Next Generation.
Last week, the Department of Administration released revenue projections and provided an update on the current state budget. The State of Wisconsin is projected to start fiscal year 2013 with a $342.1 million balance, which is the largest opening balance since fiscal year 2001.
On top of the positive opening balance, we are projected to deposit $125 million into the state's rainy day fund. For the first time in history, Wisconsin will deposit funds into the rainy day fund in two consecutive fiscal years.
Heading into the next budget we are in the unique position of having anticipated surpluses, increased revenue, and projected economic growth. I'm excited about the opportunities we have to build a better Wisconsin for the next generation.
The state partnered with the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association to produce and distribute brief radio address once a week. Audio files and a written transcript of this radio address can be accessed on http://www.wi-broadcasters.org and http://walker.wi.gov/Weekly-Radio-Addresses

I am classifying an .adf wind resource map which I vectorised using the Polygonise tool (which worked very well). I have classified the data using the Graduated symbol renderer using Natural Breaks (Jenks) mode. Unfortunately although the Range column will take decimals, only columns with whole numbers will render. Does anyone know if there is a way to do this. Am using QGIS 1.7.3.
Interesting. This looks like a bug. I can replicate your problem using the
Investigating a bit further reveals the automatic ranges are floating point numbers with exponents, e.g.
On windows 7 this can be done with the built in Calculator program. Just fire it up, set View to Scientific, enter a decimal and than tap the [Exp] button.
To convert in python, try this:
My error, I used the Classify button all along. The problem seems to be that the converted column, DN, has a precision level of 1 whereas I need something like ±0.2.

I am wondering wether it exists a theorem that any continuous path on the plane one can approximate with algebraic curve $P(x,y)=0$ ($P$- is a polynom)?
Given any compact set $K$ in the plane (in particular the image of a compact interval under a continuous function) and $\epsilon > 0$, there is a finite set $\{(x_j, y_j)\}_{j=1}^n \subseteq K$ such that $K$ is contained in the union of the disks of radius $\epsilon$ centred at $(x_j, y_j)$. Then $K$ is within distance $\epsilon$ in the Hausdorff metric of the real algebraic curve $P(x,y) = 0$, where $P(x,y) = \prod_{j=1}^n ((x-x_j)^2 + (y-y_j)^2 - \epsilon^2)$.
There might be problems with the Peano curve which is a continuous map $[0,1]\to\mathbb{R}^2$ whose image is the square $[0,1]\times [0,1]$.
It's hard to tell what this question means exactly.
If a "continuous path" is a continuous image of the unit interval, then any continuous path can be uniformly approximated by polynomial paths; this is the Weierstrass approximation theorem. Any of those polynomial paths can be extended to a polynomial image of the entire real line, which (because you are in the plane) is a set-theoretic complete intersection (i.e. the locus of $P(x,y)=0$ for some $P$).
But --- the continuous path consisting of a line segment in the plane is of course not the vanishing set of any polynomial, nor does there seem to be any reasonable sense in which it could be approximated by such.
On the other hand, if a "continuous path" is a continuous image of the real line, then it can be uniformly approximated on compact sets by polynomial paths, each of which is the locus of vanishing of some $P$. Whether this satisfies your needs depends on what you mean by approximating the path.

You are and your friend are given a list of N distinct integers and are told this:
Six distinct integers from the list are selected at random and placed one at each side of a cube. The cube is placed in the middle of a rectangular room in front of its only door, with one face touching the floor, its 6 sides parallel to the walls of the room. Your friend must enter the room and is allowed to alter the orientation of the cube, with the restriction that afterwards its in the same place with one face touching the floor and its 6 sides kept parallel to the walls of the room. Your friend will then be sendt away, after which you can enter the room and are allowed to observe the 5 visible sides of the cube.
What is the largest N that guarantees you to be able to determine the number on the bottom of the cube and what should you instruct your friend to do with the cube for that N?
I dont really know how to approach this, only result I have so far: Upper bound of N=29 and a trivial strategy for N<10.
I'm also looking for a solution for the general case of an S-sided dice.
Update: Lower bound of N=18 given here: http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/18134/guessing-a-hidden-number-on-a-cube

Some people ask, "Is it too late to start exercising and eating healthy." Some people say never. What do you think? I think it would be hard to do that when you are below 6 feet under and belongs to that category that never think about being healthy and exercising. But as long as you are still alive and kicking, it is not too late to lose weight naturally.
If you are overweight it makes life much harder when you get up and down, walk anywhere, much less trying to exercise. You would rather sit in front of the TV and be a couch potato, does it sound familiar at all?
Start today with your new way of life. You can lose weight naturally with proper diet and a healthy lifestyle. And soon, you're going to love the way you feel.

Are all Micro SD memory card brands the same?
I know the difference in class [2 is 2mb/s, 4 is 4mb/s write speed, etc.] I'm looking to up my new smartphone to 16gb or higher. Is there any real difference between a SanDisk, Kingston, and a no-name brand? Thanks!
4 Answers answer
No, they are not the same.
Some companies are more expensive than others -- you get what you pay for. As for me, I wouldn't want to invest 50 cents on a cheap memory card to find out I lost all my data.
Different companies offer different warranties.
Be cautious out there. Just because it has a name brand on it, 95% or more are counterfeit products -- especially if you buy them from overseas.
Here's an article from eBay that explains some of the Fake products out there:
I wouldn't buy a no-brand one. If you buy from a good source www.newegg.com or the like you shouldn't have any issues. I would not buy from eBay unless it's from a "real" seller (Like Buy's eBay store).
As for quality they are all about the same, I think they might even use the same guts. I would go to newegg and sort by reviews and that will give you a general idea of who is good and who is crap.
Like the posts above, beware of fakes. Not only are they very unreliable, but alot of them are much smaller capacity than advertised. It's pretty common to find fake 32GB SanDisk (and other name brand cards) that only hold 2 or 4 GB.
I don't know how its done, but they format a small card in a way that it reports it self as a much larger card. When you look at it in your computer it will show as a 32GB card, but it is impossible to fit that much data on it.
What about a no name cell Auto phone charger? Buying from Verizon is very costly.

The Bowling Green Area Lodging Association has decided to make a public show of support for Beech Bend Raceway in an ongoing property dispute.
Beech Bend Park has filed a civil lawsuit against Judge Matt Baker, who owns a house adjoining the park. Beech Bend officials claim a 600-foot stretch of Beech Bend Road is public property, but Baker contends it is his private driveway.
Promoters of two race events have pulled their commitments from Beech Bend after use of the road, utilized as tractor-trailer access for race rigs, came into question. Local tourism officials estimate the two events brought in over $2 million in local tourism revenue.
A decision in the lawsuit has been delayed until after Election Day, since Judge Baker is up for re-election. Lodging Association officials say they will not become embroiled in politics, but do plan to place ads and banners stating their support for the raceway.
Judge Baker has reportedly told Beech Bend officials that they can use the road at any time, but officials say race promoters need more than a verbal guarantee.

Cicely Parnas, recently named a first-prize winner in this year's Young Concert Artists International Auditions, will be featured in a Dec. 2 concert with musicians from the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra and the SUNY Geneseo faculty.
GENESEO, N.Y. -- Musicians from the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra will join SUNY Geneseo faculty musicians for a concert Dec. 2 featuring guest cellist Cicely Parnas, critically acclaimed as one of the finest young artists performing today. The concert begins at 7 p.m. in Wadsworth Auditorium.
On the program are Ravel's "Le Tombeau de Couperin," Saint-Saëns "Cello Concerto No. 1 in A minor," and Beethoven's "Symphony No. 4 in B-flat major, Op. 60." Parnas will be making her Carnegie Hall debut as guest soloist in late December with the New York String Orchestra, where she also will be performing the Saint-Saëns concerto.
Geneseo music major Louis Lohraseb, one of 16 presidential scholars at Geneseo this year, will be conducting the Dec. 2 concert for his senior project and has been instrumental in coordinating all aspects of the event.
"Louis is an extremely talented musician with a high energy level and boundless enthusiasm," said James Walker, Distinguished Service Professor of Music at Geneseo. "The concert Louis has assembled will be memorable, especially with rising star cellist Cicely Parnas on the program, who just this week was named a first-prize winner in this year's Young Concert Artists International Auditions."
Born in 1993, Parnas' cello studies began at age four and she made her orchestral debut at nine. Since then, she has performed 40 times as guest soloist with orchestras and has received very positive reviews, including one from Allan Kozinn of The New York Times, who wrote that she played a Hindemith work with "focused intensity, attention to Hindemith's constantly changing textures and an appealing touch of wildness when the music was at its most heated."
Parnas is completing her undergraduate studies at the Cleveland Institute of Music as a full-tuition scholarship recipient in the studio of Sharon Robinson. She is the granddaughter of world-class cellist Leslie Parnas and a former student of cellist Peter Wiley. She and her sister, violinist Madalyn Parnas, often perform together as soloists and chamber musicians, collaborating as "duo parnas." They won first prize in international chamber music competition at Carnegie Hall and have released two internationally acclaimed CDs. They also have received rave review in The New York Times.
The concert is a Limelight & Accents event sponsored by the Geneseo Student Association. Tickets for SUNY Geneseo students are $6, and $13 for faculty/staff/alumni/seniors. Tickets are $16 for the general public and $8 for children 12 and younger. Tickets are available until Dec. 1 at the Student Association Ticket Office in the Macvittie College Union. They also are available online; by phone at (585) 245-5873 (local) or (800) 525-2070; or at the door the night of the performance.

65-year-old Peter Schofield was found dead near his home off Youngs Ferry Road in Warren County Tuesday afternoon after dozens of people spent several hours searching for him.
It was a very cold day that had emergency officials fighting the temperature and daylight.
On Tuesday, part of the 2700 section of Youngs Ferry Road was the scene of an all out search for Schofield who went missing earlier Tuesday morning.
"The track of land they live on is approximately 187 acres, and it's pretty rough territory. So, we had a lot of ground to try and cover, and luckily we had the assistance of all the local volunteer fire departments," said Major Tommy Smith, Warren County Sheriff Chief Deputy.
Schofield went outside Tuesday morning, but when he didn't return his wife called police.
"He didn't really tell her. He was just walking in the woods, normal things that he did like that, cutting wood stuff like that," said Smith.
After about four hours of searching, Schofield's body was found.
A police report said Schofield was fatally struck trying to cut down a tree.
On a day like Tuesday with frigid temperatures, Emergency officials know they have to fight mother nature in their search.
"We know that we have a limited time that we can find someone. We also lose daylight shortly. We were looking at conditions tonight in the 14 degree area, so we knew that we had a couple hours left that we were trying to find someone," said Warren Co. Rescue Official Deborah Williams.
The search wasn't just on the ground, it was by plane, water, and even horseback with the help of some dogs.
While it may seem chaotic at times, emergency officials have a method to their madness.
"I know it just seems like you just go out and start walking, you don't do that. We have a very defined grid search that we use even on a space this big," said Williams.
Officials say the investigation is still ongoing.

we have
ubuntu 10.04 and
ubuntu 10.10 operating systems. However our software works only in these versions. We are facing some problems in the new versions 12.04 (LTS) we are working in it. But temporarily we need to setup a cacher server to install basic packages in these versions like samba, thunderbird, ssh ang plugins etc.. Any possibility's?
- I already know that these versions has reached end of support. But we only prefer these versions, as it has a classic-gnome.
- We are working to upgrade our softwares, so that we are in-need of a temporary solution.
- Thought of setting up apt-mirror, but it consumes more bandwidth, for every release we need to download 85 GB's of datas, which is quite difficult and it takes lot of time.
- Hope there is some better trick to acheive this task.
Any way to setup apt-mirror with needed packages?? Instead of downloading the whole mirror? We require only samba, ssh, thunderbird, flashplugin-installer and all additional plugins. For installing this packages, setting up a complete mirror of 85 GB per distribution is really waste.
We are already using apt-cacher-ng server. I am able to install packages for
ubuntu 10.04but installing packages in
ubuntu 10.10throws 404 error. Any way to fix this??

Chrysler 8.75 Rear Axle & Differential Swap OutWritten by on August 16, 2012
A recurring Junkyard Builder theme is making something out of nothing. Transforming trash into treasure is the kind of magic we strive for. When it comes to Chrysler 8.75 inch differential centersections, swap-meet shoppers can mix and match cast-off parts and end up with a bulletproof third member for half the cost of a professionally built unit. In this story, we show you how to identify and combine parts in the quest for a "greatest hits" version of the venerable Chrysler 8.75 inch differential unit.
Groovy Factoids
*The documented existence of a 741 case Chrysler 8.75 inch rear axle under an all-original, unmolested '70 Plymouth Duster 340 four-speed survivor disproves the general assumption that the 741 (and 742) cases were discontinued after the '68 model year. Though the 489 case is most often seen after 1968, apparently Chrysler had stores of earlier centersections and "built them out" randomly for many years. We've also seen the "light-duty" 741 case under unmolested automatic-transmission 383 Road Runners.
*Popular rear axle types from the muscle car era can be divided into two basic types: the Salisbury configuration uses a cast-iron centersection with pressed/welded axletubes and a removable differential inspection cover. The Dana 60, GM 10, 12-bolt, and later Ford 8.8 are classic examples. The Hotchkiss-type rear axle features a fabricated stamped-steel housing with integral axletubes and a dropout-style differential centersection, typically made of cast iron. The Ford 8- and 9-inch, pre-'65 Buick, Olds, Pontiac, and Chrysler 8.75 inch units are examples of the Hotchkiss-type rear axle.

Chrysler used three cases between 1962 and 1974, with casting numbers ending in 741, 742, and 489. The finger points to the 489 unit found in most '68–'74 applications. Its 1.875-inch-diameter tapered pinion shaft and 3.460-inch-diameter inner-pinion bearing are the largest and strongest of the group. Drawbacks include a non-rebuildable, cone-style Auburn Sure Grip unit and crush-style pinion support collar. The 741 case (bottom) is the wimp of the family and was used from 1964–1972. Its puny, 13⁄8-inch pinion shaft diameter and correspondingly small 3.050-inch-diameter inner support bearing become marginal behind a 383 four-speed Road Runner on slicks. Some 741 diffs even have a smaller, 81⁄4-inch-diameter ring gear in place of the typical 83⁄4-inch unit. Between these extremes is the 742 case (not shown). Found among '62–'68 performance models and HD truck and wagon applications, the 742's 13⁄4-inch-diameter pinion shaft lacks the heft of the 1.875-inch unit installed in 489 cases, but that's about the onlyWith the meet and greet out of the way, our story begins with how we bought this pair of unpopular diffs at the swap meet and our plan to merge their best parts into something we can use. The case on the left is a 489 packing 3.91:1 gears. As a Sure Grip unit, it'd be worth $500 to $700 all day long. But since it packs a street-unfriendly spool, demand plummets, and we scored it for $200. On the right is a weakling, small-pinion 741 case we got for $175. The object of desire is its Dana-Spicer Sure Grip unit. Most swap-meet buyers shun the 741 case; even in Sure Grip form, they fail to realize it shares the same Sure Grip unit as the rock-star 742 diff. By combining parts from these two orphans, we'll come out ahead.Complete disassembly of both units reveals clean, undamaged subassemblies and big smiles knowing we paid only $375 for the lot. The 741 guts are in the foreground, and the 489 is spread out behind. In a nutshell, we're going to scavenge the Sure Grip and driveshaft yokes from the 741 and swap them into the otherwise unchanged 489 unit. The leftover parts will be liquidated at the next swap meet to further soften the financial hit by another $150. The used spool can be installed in any 741, 742, or 489 case and is an easy $75. The uncommon 741-specific 3.91:1 gear set might get $50 (most 741 applications were grocery-getters with 2.94:1 or 3.23:1 gear ratios), and the empty 741 differential case ought to fetch $30. More on the yokes in a moment.A sight to make rearend spotters drool, this is the Dana-Spicer clutch-type Sure Grip differential we yanked out of the ($175) 741 case. Chrysler stuffed these rugged units under Chrysler 300s, Max Wedge super stockers, altered-wheelbase A/FX cars, 426 Street Hemis (automatic transmission only; stick cars got the Dana 60), and half-ton trucks and vans through 1968. This unit can handle 500 hp without strain, and while clutch and plate rebuild kits are readily available, we know the car this one came out of and know that it's healthy. In mid-1968, Chrysler switched to cone-style limited-slip diff units and used them through the end of 83⁄4-inch production in 1974. Technically capable of even greater load capacity, the cone-style unit is equally desirable, though rebuilding requires machine work. Luckily, both Sure Grip units share common side bearings and ring-gear bolt patterns, so they can invade any 741, 742, or 489 case to take the place of an existing spool or conventional (open) differential. A final cheThe design and size of the pinion-gear shaft is the major difference between 741, 742, and 489 differential centersections. Below, the pen points out the beefy, tapered 1.875-inch pinion shaft featured on all 489 gearsets (regardless of ratio). By contrast, the 13⁄8-inch pinion shaft used in all 741 cases (top) clearly lacks the heft of its big brother. The 13⁄4-inch pinion-shaft diameter found in 742 cases (not shown) is nearly as strong as the 489 unit but lacks the tapered configuration. The taper eliminates 90-degree surface intersections, which are common high-stress failure points. Also, note how the larger pinion shaft takes a larger inner-pinion bearing (seen just below the gear teeth). Keep in mind that when you see a car launching with the front tires off the ground, its entire mass is being supported momentarily by these components.The pens point out the differing bearing-seat diameters needed to match the varied inner-pinion bearing sizes. The seat pressed into the 741 case (left) is machined to accept its 3.050 bearing, while the 489 case's seat (right) is sized to take a 3.460 bearing. The 742 case (not shown) uses yet another bearing size, which is why pinion gears for 741, 742, and 489 Chrysler diffs do not interchange. Forget about trying to machine the smaller cases to accept larger bearings; it's unexplored territory, and these things are far too common to warrant the hassle.Chrysler used two driveshaft yokes: the small Spicer 7260 U-joint (left) was reserved for grocery-getters, while the larger Spicer 7290 U-joint (right) was used with factory 440 and Hemi muscle cars. Ironically, our weak-kneed 741-case Sure Grip centersection came with the big 7290 yoke, while the boy-racer 489-case spool came with the small 7260 yoke, so we swapped them. Generally speaking, Chrysler 741 and 742 pinion gears featured 10 splines (aka coarse spline), while 489 cases use a 29-spline yoke (aka fine spline). This is another way of saying most 489 cases came from Chrysler with a fine-spline yoke. Fear-mongers claim the stock strap-style U-joint retainers are too weak for race duty and should be replaced with U-bolts. Don't tell that to Mr. Norm, whose blown, fuel, Hemi-powered Grand-Spaulding Dodge '65 Coronet exhibition-match racer ran high 8s with the straps.The main complaint heard from 489 critics is a partly deserved reputation for durability issues stemming from the 489's collapsible pinion-support collar (right). For mass-production efficiency, the collar is designed to crush a prescribed amount when the pinion nut is torqued to 300 lb-ft. The controlled deformation delivers the specified pinion preload. The problem is that shock load generated by repeated dragstrip launches with sticky tires can further compress the collar, especially with a manual transmission and a heavy car. This changes the preload and leads to breakage. Substituting the solid non-collapsible collar from Ratech (RatechMFG.com) cures the problem. Assembly reverts to the process of juggling select-fit shims (as employed on the 741 and 742 diffs), but the end result is worth it. Our ring gear is etched with setup markings that read "CD 2.769," indicating that the compression distance is 2.769 inches. The Ratech collar is PN 4103 and sells for a mere $33.
Many thanks to Tim Young (left) and Mike Robinson for sharing this money-saving trick and turning the wrenches. Mike's 10-second, straight-six turbo Maverick was featured in the Aug. '11 issue of Car Craft. Big Tim's dragstrip pet is a small-block-motivated Fairmont pillar coupe.Despite the nearly 100 percent used-parts quotient, reassembly went smoothly, as evidenced by the ideal gear-tooth contact pattern and on-spec ring-gear backlash reading of 0.008. The only shock we discovered while disassembling the spool-equipped 489 unit was that the 12-ring gear bolts (which have lefthand threads) were bottomed out and not fully clamping the ring gear to the spool. It seems the aftermarket spool's ring-gear flange is thinner than that of the stock Chrysler Sure Grip (0.389 vs. 0.401), creating a situation in which the stock Chrysler bolts become too long and bottom-out in the gear. Besides munching the threads, the bottomed-out bolts delivered a bogus torque reading and were not fully clamping the ring gear to the spool. It's a recipe for disaster. The lesson: Check all blind holes for proper fastener engagement when parts are being mixed and matched.Mounted under an altered-wheelbase '63 Dart Match Basher, the completed "greatest-hits" centersection combines the 489 case's beefy tapered pinion with the 742 case's non-crush pinion-support collar architecture (again, thanks to the Ratech sleeve). The used 3.91 gears and Sure Grip differential complement the car's 512-inch Max Wedge and leave even strips of rubber on the street, all for less than $400. End

How can I make my Mac (running the most recent OS) do a task automatically once a day? For example, I'd like to have it automatically download a copy of this open source algebraic geometry textbook once a day. I have a feeling that some combination of wget and cron should work, but, after googling and reading the cron documentation, I just couldn't get it to work right.
I think in OS X you should use
This should run everyday at 23:55
You should specify the output location of WGET with
The cron daemon can be activated by a simple:
Then it's advisable to enter the full path of your /usr/local/bin/wget (or wherever it lives). Cron does not know of your user's $PATH. Hope it helps.
If you're finding the command line syntax (etc) too confusing/arcane, you might lok at GUI tool for viewing/editing/creating these jobs.
In the past I've used Lingon, which has been made available on the Mac App Store now too. I don't need to use it very often, but it's very useful when I do!
You may use Cronnix which is a free graphical interface for cron :
I recommend Macaroni. Its advantage is that when you set a job to run once a day, it runs whenever your computer is on, regardless of the time. So you won't miss a job because the computer was off at the specified time.
A more elegant solution (than cron) is to use iCal notifications + Applescript.
First, launch AppleScript Editor (located under /Application/Utilities) and paste the following code:
Save the script and quit applescript editor.
Open your iCal and create a new event for today, setting the time you want, select "repeat: Every day" and as an alarm "Run script" and select your applescript.
If you want to notified for every download, you may add another alarm with a "Message with Sound", "on date".

My pasta pot/steamer did not come with directions telling me how full to make it. It seems to boil over or not have enough water to cover the pasta. It is a large pot with the pasta strainer included.
The pot choice should depend on the amount of water (which depends on the amount of pasta you're cooking) rather than the other way around. For detailed advice on amounts, see these answers (answer 1, answer 2).
Generally (not using fresh pasta or very long pasta when more water is necessary) you just need to cover the pasta. A bit of oil on top will help keep it from boiling over, as will keeping the lid off after it's begun boiling and just simmering it rather than a rolling boil.
With longer pastas like spaghetti you should add more water than just enough to cover the pasta, but as long as the top of the water is more than an inch below the top of the pot (after adding the pasta) you shouldn't have trouble if you follow the precautions above.
There's two schools of thought to this. I usually roughly half fill the pot with water bring it to the boil, and add pasta to make it roughly 3/4 the way up (I always use the same pot), a splash or two of olive oil (well more than that. The perfect pasta for me smells nice and strongly of olive oil, and edible with nothing else should i choose to, so i add a generous quantity) and salt. I bring it to a boil, and turn down the heat, and keep stirring it. I never had issues with it boiling over.
You can however also start with cold water add the pasta then bring it to the boil. You should use a lot less water in that case. I'm still working on this since i've had perfect results with the first method, and am still breaking the mental barrier to too little salt.
It is highly recommended to put at least 1 liters of water to 100 gr pasta. So if we have 2 portions of 200 gr pasta each, we must put at least 4 liters of water. And remember to put salt when its boiling, just before you put the pasta into the pot. Good Luck!
There are two secrets related to water for cooking a good pasta:
Simple and effective.
You specifically mention a "pasta pot/steamer", so I'm going to assume that it's one of those pots with a strainer insert that stays in the pot while you're cooking the pasta. (and then you lift it out to drain the pasta).
The problem with most of them is that they're designed for steaming, and so the insert stops an inch or two below the level of the strainer portion. This means you need more water than you'd need for the pasta in a standard pot; it's only really an advantage if you're making more than one batch, as you can lift it out, dump it, then add more pasta (or vegetables) to already hot water.
The second design flaw in every one that I've seen is that the strainer insert continues a couple of inches past the top of the outer pot. This is great if you're steaming ... but it's a problem because it makes it more difficult to tell where the outer pot ends when you're looking at the inside. You need the water level to stop 3 or more inches below the edge of the outer pot ... if you don't, when you add the pasta and bring it back to a boil, the water flows out of the pot and onto your stove. (and being starchy pasta water, leaves this film you have to scrub off as it instantly boils off).
So ... my advice would be:
And for those considering buying one of these -- if you're going to be using it almost exclusively for boiling and rarely for steaming, look for a strainer that gets close to the bottom of the pot.
The simplest rule of thumb to remember for pasta is 100:10:1 - 100g of pasta to 10g of salt to 1 litre of water. This means you need a big pan if you're cooking for a lot of people, but it works.

The 9 Most Badass Bible Verses
If the Bible had been written by King Leonidas and the rest of the Spartans from 300, it would probably read pretty much the same as it does now.
It turns out, the Bible is already chock full of ass kicking. Here are the verses that make us want to take to the streets and put some unbelievers to the sword.
#9. Exodus 2:11-12
Sure, Moses was a great leader, an emancipator of his people and a prophet. Most people don't know that he also was the Biblical equivalent of Splinter Cell's Sam Fisher--a well-honed killing machine, able to slay from the shadows without pity or remorse. Martin Luther King may have had a dream, but Moses had a body count.
You can almost picture the scene: An Egyptian soldier is wailing on a hapless Hebrew when Moses, clothed in head-to- toe black, drops down from the ceiling. Moving with cat-like grace, he sneaks up behind the soldier and, taking his head in his hands, snaps the man's neck with one savage twist. As the lifeless body slumps to the ground, Moses lights up a cigar. "Well," he quips, "looks like someone bit off more than he could Jew."
Moses, seen here, is about to murder the hell out of an unsuspecting Egyptian.
Moses later defeated the Egyptian Pharaoh, who, if we remember correctly, had been using Hebrew slaves to construct a 40-foot-high armored battle suit capable of launching nuclear missiles to anywhere in the world.
#8. II Kings 2:23-24
We've all been there. You're walking along, minding your own business, when a gang of cocky, young bastards start hurling abuse at you. Most of us would just keep walking, or maybe, yell some insults back or flip them the bird. Elisha (commonly regarded as the Luke Skywalker to the Prophet Elijah's Obi-Wan Kenobi), however, decides to take it one step further. Invoking the name of God, he summons motherfucking bears to come and claw the shit out of them.
Christians are constantly asking for prayer in schools to help get today's kids in line, but we beg to differ. We need bears in schools. If every teacher had the power to summon a pair of child-maiming grizzly avengers, you can bet that schoolchildren nowadays would be the most well-behaved, polite children, ever. It's a simple choice: listen to the biology lesson, or get first-hand knowledge of the digestive system of Ursus horribilis.
Every year in Israel, divine-bear attacks kill over 500 children.
It should be pointed out that even after his death, Elisha continued to kick ass. II Kings 13:20-21 tells us that when a dead body was thrown into his tomb and touched Elisha's bones, it sprang back to life. It's unknown whether Elisha had this power in life, as well as death, but we like to think he did and that he had the habit of killing his victims with bears, resurrecting them, and then promptly re-summoning the bears to kill them, again. He'd just repeat the whole thing over and over until he got bored.
#7. Ezekiel 23:19-20
Contrary to what you may think, the Bible has never shied away from talking about sex. In fact, the entire Song of Solomon is dedicated to describing a couple getting it on, complete with lines like "I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers". This verse is particularly explicit, though, informing us that Egyptians are hung like farmyard animals, and can ejaculate in quantities to rival the annual flooding of the Nile.
Keep in mind, the Egyptians were the Jews' former slave masters and are the bad guys in this story. So, you know their reputation for supreme endowment was well earned when the worst their enemies could say was, "Go on! Go back to those big-cocked bastards! I hope you're happy with their enormous dongs."
The old Egyptians didn't exactly run from their reputation. Egyptian ruins are littered with statues like the one on the right (this one is Min, the god of huge dong-having). They even invented the phallic obelisk to advertise it (picture the Washington Monument, that's an obelisk). That was their statement to the world: "Gaze upon our dick tower and despair."
This passage creates a problem for many new Bible readers. Once you've read this, it is impossible to go back and read the above story of Moses killing the Egyptian guy the same way. When it speaks of the Egyptian beating the Hebrew slave, you have no choice but to imagine him turkey slapping the man. If anything, however, it makes Moses' deadly intervention all the more justified.

While I'm uncertain of the power of the four leaf- clover or if leprechauns truly do exist, I am certain the masses will turn out this Saturday to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.
Seemingly everyone has a little Irish blood in them on March 17th.
The St. Patty's Day celebration is all about the parades, tons of green beer, Irish food and green attire worn by all.
Everyone must remember to wear green, because if you don't, you're sure to get pinched.
We all know Americans don't need an excuse to drink, but when you add theme dressing and beaded necklaces, the evening can turn foggy.
St. Patrick's Day is also the holiday when drinking before noon is not frowned upon, but actually encouraged.
Finding the perfect Irish pub to celebrate St. Patty's Day is not that hard. It's all about marking your territory early in your favorite venue.
You never know, if you camp out long enough, you may find yourself on top of a table dancing a jig later in the evening.
Since the Irish are known as the "friendliest people in the world," it's no surprise that celebrating St. Patrick's Day is a day of merriment here in the U.S.
The Irish know how to have a great time, and America's Irish immigrants have successfully passed the bliss of their national holiday into America's cultural fiber.
I say this Saturday put on your best green outfit and get out there and drink green beer!
Our city will be filled with festivities to satisfy everyone's Irish needs. There's no excuse not to reconnect with your inner Irish self.
Enjoy a culture that embraces life in a big way!
As the Irish are famous for saying, "Everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day."
Here are some St. Patrick's Day festivities going on right here in Derby City.

While in the Underforge, I knocked out Aela to take her blood and she was permanently put into werewolf form. Is there is way I can transform her back?
Go into Console.
CLICK DIRECTLY ON AELA. You should get a number string 0001a696 or 0001a697 coming up.
Type in (including the space): setrace nordrace
Worked for me in the Underforge, giving me back my Expert Archer trainer.
If you're on the PC, console commands may fix the problem for you: Open the console, click on Aela, enter the command "disable" (she'll promptly vanish), then immediately run the command "enable".
This process worked for me when Lydia got "stuck" in a two-handed combat stance without her weapon, and was completely unable to do anything at all except follow me and get in my way. I've never had your particular problem, but "resetting" followers like this seems to work in a wide range of cases. (Plus, as a bonus, your follower will "level up" as if you had just met her!)

I'm struggling to find a matching blue colour for this red one I've got:
By 'matching' I mean similar feel, in terms of brightness, contrast, lighting etc...
I'm new to graphic design so I don't really know how to find similar colours.
I'm struggling to find a matching blue colour for this red one I've got:
There are some "rules" regarding color harmonies that you will find very helpful for this case and any future ones you might have regarding colors.
Colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel are considered to be complementary colors (example: red and green). The high contrast of complementary colors creates a vibrant look especially when used at full saturation.
Analogous color schemes use colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. They usually match well and create serene and comfortable designs. Analogous color schemes are often found in nature and are harmonious and pleasing to the eye.
A triadic color scheme uses colors that are evenly spaced around the color wheel. Triadic color harmonies tend to be quite vibrant, even if you use pale or unsaturated versions of your hues.
The split-complementary color scheme is a variation of the complementary color scheme. In addition to the base color, it uses the two colors adjacent to its complement. This color scheme has the same strong visual contrast as the complementary color scheme, but has less tension.
Rectangle (tetradic)
The rectangle or tetradic color scheme uses four colors arranged into two complementary pairs. This rich color scheme offers plenty of possibilities for variation. The tetradic color scheme works best if you let one color be dominant.
You can use an online service like Kuler to calculate these.
There's (luckily) not one answer for your question. The simplest solution is to take the RGB-value difference from 255. In your case red (255-207=48), green (255-58=197), blue (255-27=228). In HEX: #30C5E4.
I prepared different solutions for you here.
For the first one I only changed the hue value (+180°).
The second one is the solution from my first paragraph. If you look at the HSL values it adds +180° to hue plus it also mirrors the lightness value. 50% lightness is the center, so 46% lightness from your red mirrors to 54% of the blue.
The third one mirrors the saturation value as well.
The fourth adds +180° to the pHSL model value.
The fifth also mirrors lightness of pHSL (my favorite).
Bonus: since you mentioned brightness and contrast: take any of the blue colors and match the (relative) luminance [Lum] value of your red = 47%...
Which one you choose is then up to your specific requirements and personal taste...

Is there a physics mechanism to explain how sunflowers rotate to always face the sun? I tried to find more information or references using google search, but no luck.
The physics is being explored in the rapidly growing field of biophysics. The short answer is that plants are able to move, in general, via hydraulic or osmotic processes.
Osmotic process describe the tendency of water to move into a solution via osmosis, where osmosis is "the movement of solvent molecules through a selectively permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, aiming to equalize the solute concentrations on the two side." Hydraulic processes reflect the tendency of water to stay put and not move out of a solution. See here.
For instance, plants can better grow through hydraulic pressure, but respond rapidly to environmental changes (cf sunflowers), or food (cf venus fly trap) via osmotic mechanisms such as pumping across cell membranes (discussed in a recent article on the venus fly trap in Nature). In either case, the exact mechanics are still poorly understood and the subject of a lot of research. Plants that could move or adapt to environmental changes have obvious economic benefit.

I'm not sure a 'power equation' is the right name for the equation I'd like to know more about (and, specifically, about its solutions), but I don't know the 'proper' way to name it.
The simplest 'power polynomial' is : $P(x) = x^x $. The simplest 'power equation is: (1) $x^x = c$ for some $c \in \mathbb{R} $. What are the exact solutions to (1) of x (in $\mathbb{C}$) with regards to c, apart from the 'obvious' solutions (x=0, c=0), (x=1, c=1) and (x=2, c=4) and all the other solutions of the form $ x^x = n^n$ for $n \in \mathbb{N}$ ?
We could extend the power polynomial: $P_{2}(x) = x^{{ax}^{bx}} + x^{cx} $. What are the exact solutions of $P_{2}(x) = d$ for $a,b,c,d \in \mathbb{R}, x\in \mathbb{C}$ ? Or perhaps I should ask what the exact form of the solutions is.
We could generalize the power polynomial even further to $P_{3}(x)$ and $P_{n}(x)$, but I don't know how to write down the latter, general polynomial.
Thanks in advance,
(P.S. I References are always welcome. II If you think this question belongs to MO, please tell me).

Consider a game with two players A and B. Player A throws a coin with probability $p_A$ of landing heads, in which case he wins the game. If not, player B throws another coin with probability $p_B$ of landing heads, in which case B wins. If not, it is A's turn again.
Calculate the probability of both players winning the game, as a function of $p_A$ and $p_B$. If $p_A=\frac{1}{3}$, find $p_B$ so that the game is fair.
This is what I've done so far. I think I can determine the probabilities of A and B winning the game, as a function of both $p_A$ and $p_B$ and of the number of rounds $n$:
The way I see it, the equations are different because A gets to go first. Intuitively, B is in an unfair position unless $p_B > p_A$.
I suppose that a fair game would mean that $p(W_A)=p(W_B)$, but for what $n$? This has led me to think that there is a way to describe those probabilities without depending on the number of rounds, but I don't know how.
This is a homework question. I'm not looking for the answer, but for guidance in getting there. Let me give you some context. I am taking a graduate-level course on Stochastic Control (my research area is robotics). The course starts with a review of probability, and this particular question is part of the exercise list. The bibliography for this part of the course is Sheldon Ross' Introduction to Probability Models. Thanks for the help!

Golden Corral - Two All You Can Eat Buffets for $20
Available Monday through Thursday after 4 pm local time.
Back by popular demand, Golden Corral brings back its "Ultimate 2 for $20" dinner promotion, beginning Monday, April 30th.
13 Comments add a comment
i went to Golden Corral just yesterday and for some reason made the papers:
must be my pimpin new shirt
That shirt is extra awesome. Extra credit for the boom box.
A Golden Corral opened near me last year and I couldn't wait to try it. Went was disappointed but thought I would give it another try, went back a second time and that was it, definitely not my thing. They say everything is homemade but I think they mean homemade at the factory and then reheated at the buffet. Wasen't my thing, and I like just about any food. I'll pass, even with a coupon.
Power Eaters, unite!
@w00tgurl: awesome...
Mon - Thurs, after 4pm, does not include drink, or tax.
How much is GC normally, I haven't gone in a few months but isn't the basic price around $10 to $11 ?
Does this deal include five free screaming children at the next table and the feeling that your gut is about to explode as you leave?
My kids love the chocolate fountain. Me, I'm not so sold. Pretty sure I've seen some kids (and maybe grown folks) dip without skewers, like their fingers, and go back for more!
First place was never my thing. I'll wait for the Silver or Bronze Corral.
@bobbyatkinson: yeah.. and with drink and tax you're almost at $14... which is why we stopped going there.
just be prepared to jump out of a moving car for the deal.
Golden Corral always seems like a better idea on the way in than when you leave.
Golden Corral is good when your 3 year old wants to be finicky. Not so good for a first date.
I work with a guy who is a Golden Corral aficionado. He was so enthusiastic about planning to take a date to the Corral off Glenwood because it was better than the closer one in Garner.

In Al Hanissim we say:
Vhidliku Neiros Bchatzros Kodshecha
Why in do we use the Plural form, was there more than one Chatzer?
The various gradations of holiness within the Beis Hamikdash complex (listed in the Mishnah, Kelim 1:8ff) are each generally referred to in Tanach as a chatzer. The expression חצרות קדשך is borrowed from Isaiah 62:9 (בחצרות קדשי), referring to Jerusalem as a whole. And then we find, among others:
The Lubavitcher Rebbe's (zt"l) answer that I quoted here says that indeed they lit lamps and candelabra throughout the entire complex (in all of these "courtyards") in order to show their gratitude to Hashem for the miracles of Chanukah.

The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, today offered his condolences to U.S. President Barack Obama on the Boston bombings.
On behalf of the people and government of Saudi Arabia, as well as on his personal behalf, King Abdullah expressed his great pain and sorrow upon learning of the bombings that occurred in Boston, and the loss of lives and injuries caused by them. King Abdullah described the perpetrators as criminals and their actions contradicting all values of humanity and "whoever carried out these actions only represent themselves, as such crimes are not tolerated or condoned by any religion or moral ground." King Abdullah wished a speedy recovery for the injured and safety and stability to the friendly American people.

When people speak Hebrew, they say Hashem instead of Y-HVH, because saying His name is impossible/forbidden. Additionally, when writing, some people write G-d instead of God. Why when speaking English aren't people careful to say Gosh?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Many people are careful not to say a translation of one of G-d's 7 holy names (see here for the Rambam's version of them).
G-d is a translation of either A-D-N-Y or Y-H-V-H, depending on who you ask.
This is why many people use the word Hashem ("The Name") in Hebrew, or Aibishter ("One Above") in Yiddish.
See this article, which says that R' Moshe Feinstein held that if one made a blessing using the Yiddish word G-t instead of the Hebrew name of G-d, he fulfilled his obligation, and posits that R' Moshe would say the same thing if the English G-d was used.
There should be more direct sources that speak about saying a translation of G-d's names, but I can't find them right now.

There are a total of 4
divs that I am going to need to do this with.
If anyone could help me that would be awesome!
So links that are listed in a table need to replace the image in a separate

I'm not very experienced with Macs, so please pardon my mistakes. I'm assisting a coworker with a client of ours who recently let go of one of their employees, and in the resulting meeting the person deleted all their documents & threw the laptop onto the floor, cracking the screen and likely damaging the hard drive.
The Mac appears to boot normally, and boots into a profile like normal, but we have no documents of any kind to access. My worker tried MacKeeper, but after running for over a day it crashed. Edit: MacKeeper disappeared because my coworker uninstalled it & deleted it, so I removed this part of the paragraph.
In any case, for Mac OS all I'm seeing for data recovery is paid software. I was hoping to be able to inspect the file system and/or attempt recovery in Parted Magic, or run TestDisk/PhotoRec on it, but I cannot boot to Hiren's on this computer (which doesn't surprise me). Is there a Mac equivalent to Hiren's I could look into?

Acupuncture for the Eyes (9780939616466)
Publisher: Eastland Press
Binding: Paperback
Acupuncture can be used for treating a wide range of eye disorders, from conjunctivitis and hay fever to glaucoma and macular degeneration. In some cases, such as degenerative diseases of the retina, there is no effective treatment in conventional medicine, while in others, like acute conjunctivitis, acupuncture offers a cure which is quicker and more effective than other modalities.
Acupuncture for the Eyes is a practical manual that can be used by any competent acupuncturist to expand the scope of their practice to include disorders of the eyes. The book provides clear, step-by-step guidelines for diagnosis and treatment coupled with a discussion of the results that can be expected.
At a minimum, all acupuncturists should know how effective acupuncture can be in treating conditions of the eye, even though they are not commonly treated in Western acupuncture clinics at the present time. This will change as more acupuncturists become familiar with this important aspect of practice, and patients learn how helpful acupuncture can be in maintaining and restoring healthy eyes.

Acupuncture for the Eyes
Excellent. Very easy to follow and understand with all the information necessary to treat eye conditions, including western approaches and evidence to support. The author is very honest. Pity more books aren't written in this vain.
