Hello, I am a sophomore who will be a junior next year. I have been playing power forward/center most of my career because in elementary school i was like a foot taller then everyone else, and my dad is also like 6'4 and 210 or something so my high school coach figured id grow and kept me there. Well I havn't been growing like he expected me to i guess (im only 5'10 and 160 pounds) and he has been talking to me a bit about moving me to a wing position next year. I'm very quick and pretty fast, those are my best physical attributes (I cant jump high enough to dunk, and I'm kind of lanky instead of big but I do lift and people always say im really hard to move in the post). I'm a good finisher around the rim off post moves (These get blocked a lot if I play low post because Im short, only think I can get up is a hook) or drives (I was a stretch 4 kind of player for the last 2 years so I have been working on my ballhandling quite a bit so I can drive decently well) and can shoot alright from midrange, but havent found my 3pt shot yet (I was 4/24 last year, so it's pretty bad, but I plan on working on it).
However, the biggest part of my game that basically has been getting me minutes is my defense. I can guard pretty much anyone as long as he is sort of my size height-wise, from quick point guards to power forwards, and Im really aggressive on defense. I want to be able to play that same way from the wing position, because I think that part of my issues offensively have been that I play weak on offense even though I am aggressive on defense and clearly my mind works better when I can go right at people instead of trying to go around them like I have been trying to do. If someone could please give me pointers, how to become a more aggressive player as a wing player on offense, drills I can do to help that, a video I can watch, anything(!) I would really appreciate it since I don't want to lose my minutes just because of my size.
First of all you have to be strong enough. If you strong enough you can go in on anyone. Also, you have the ability to rise up over your defender. To rise up and shoot or to lay it up high enough to not get blocked. Good drills are to have adefender on you and yo haveto go to the hole every possesion as well as hustle for the rebound if you miss. Also got in the hole with a man waiting in the hole and try to score on him. I practiced this and in junior magic I averaged 2 blocks as a point guard and scored over 50% of my points in the hole.
It's normal for players to have to change their games as they get older, since they either stop growing, or grow too fast. They have to learn a new position, and that is hard. For you, just keep playing your game. Definitely keep you defense up, because that is important.
Find out what your coach wants from you. Do they want you to play big man, or wing? What do you want to play? it's important at this age to just keep working on all aspects of your game. if you stop your ball handling, but then you stay the same height, that skill will be tough to get back.

Professional Basketball Player and Basketball Trainer
What you need to do is make the game simple. Training will only get you so far... It does not prepare you for game time situations. It is crucial that you perfect a one dribble pullup out of triple threat, and basically taking what the defense gives you. But that is going to work only if you work on your jumpshot. I mean perfecting your form and all. You don't have to be the best ballhandler to get your shot off... You just need to have a decent handle and the quickness on your first step to take that one dribble and pull it. I don't like the fact that coaches (or others) labeled you as a post player so early. Not all height is determined by the parents. My dad is 6'5" and I only grew to about 5'11" or 6'0" my senior year of HS (I'm now 6'2" after HS). They should have been telling you to work on your perimeter game so you could be a bit more versatile and confident to play inside and out. But like I said before, make the game easy. One dribble pull up, take the space the defense gives on the drive, perfect a floater, and crash the boards for easy put backs. Not eveything has to be so aggressive and powerful. That expends a lot of energy. Work smart...
P.S.- Watch more basketball and learn the game as a perimeter player, play more pickup ball, and get to some exposure camps if you desire to make it to the next level. Training is a money maker... You can learn that stuff on your own.

What is the best way to get a nine-year-old girl interested in photography?
Give her a camera?
That's all I had to do with mine. :)
Easy way: tell her not to touch your camera :) That should do it.
But seriously, I would take pictures of things that interest her. Family pets. Favorite toys. My kids didn't show much interest until I took pictures of the dog and macro shots of lego, then they begged me to let them try.
I also did some fun composites in photoshop like the hippo head on a parakeet below, and that got them intested in playing around with editing.
Experience from my daughter:
She was at first more interested in video, filming herself or with her friends.
Then pictures: also taking pictures of herself, maybe a bit produced (she is 11). Then she uploads them to a website and edits them (mostly colors) and adds "virtual stickers" to the picture. Also taking lots of pictures of our dog. This would be the closest to portrait photography.
But most important, is hard to force into someone else one's desires.

5 Horrifying Ways an Ex Can Ruin Your Life With Nude Photos
Professor Annmarie Chiarini, Anisha Vora, and Dr. Holly Jacobs have a few things in common: They've all had explicit photos of themselves shared online, and they've all decided to do something about it. In August of 2012, Jacobs started EndRevengePorn.org and quickly found out that the concept of pornography as vengeance is even stranger than it sounds when we type it out like that. Working with Vora and Chiarini, she discovered that ...
#5. Everyone Will Blame You
NatasaMandic/iStock/Getty Images
If you see a picture of a naked person online, the default assumption is that they put it there themselves, because we want to believe that the world is a beautiful place full of consensual genitalia. Of course, it's a bummer if your boss finds those pictures, because most workplaces frown on that sort of thing. When Jacobs first heard from human resources at her school, they made the default assumption and came after her: "They were pursuing it so much and asking so many questions insinuating that I was doing this myself ... I legally changed my name." To clarify, the problem isn't that a school was concerned that their employee was being sexually inappropriate with their students -- they of course need to watch out for that shit (it's only charming when Indiana Jones does it). The problem is that, after it became apparent that this was an attack on one of their teachers, the school's very first reaction was to put as much distance between them as possible. It's virtually impossible to convince people that it's not somehow your fault.

"If you didn't want this to happen, then why are you always naked under your clothes?"
One revenge porn site was run by a single mother who posted the pictures jilted wives sent her of their husbands' mistresses. She of course did nothing to verify these stories or identities before posting naked photos of strangers, and when questioned about the lives she was affecting, she insisted that women "love the attention." Because as we all know, there's no such thing as bad attention -- even when it's technically a form of sexual abuse that essentially ruins your public life, at least somebody thought nice things about your butt.
Medioimages/Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images
"COXcum469 doesn't throw praise lightly. You should be honored."
There's some kind of general assumption that, once you send nudes to somebody, the picture is theirs to do with as they please. But the gift of an intimate photo doesn't automatically include permission to plaster that photo on the Internet, any more than telling someone where you hide your spare key so they can feed your cats gives them permission to post that information on Craigslist under the title "FREE CAT MEAT."
#4. You'll Mostly Hear: "Well, You Shouldn't Have Sent the Pictures in the First Place!"
pcruciatti/iStock/Getty Images
Some people argue that this whole issue comes down to women not being careful enough online. (Social Justice Jeff Foxworthy Says: "If you generally catch yourself pointing fingers at the victim when shit goes down, you might be an asshole.") That's flawed logic, but more importantly, it's not often true: Vora's photos were shared by a family friend she'd known since sixth grade, and Jacobs' were posted by an ex after their mutual breakup. In some cases, the photos weren't shared at all; many women have simply had their emails hacked.
Jonathan Leibson/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
And if you're lucky enough to have the resources of Scarlett Johansson, you might be able to do something about it.
And this kind of experience isn't limited to carefree teenage girls who don't know any better: Chiarini was a 39-year-old college professor, and Jacobs has "Dr." right there in her name -- not generally a title you see on dumb teenagers outside of the 1980s rap scene. Also remember that when they shared their pictures, "revenge porn" wasn't even a term yet. You can't take precautions against something you don't know exists, and they were no more prepared for the revenge porn experience than you are for the Great High-Fructose Corn Syrup Tsunami of 2016.
#3. It Goes Way Beyond Sharing Pictures
Alessandro de Leo/iStock/Getty Images
Maybe you're thinking that this whole thing is getting blown out of proportion. Sure, it's a massive violation, but the Internet is nothing if not massive and violating. What are the odds of someone you know actually recognizing you, let alone bringing enough attention to affect your life?
IuriiSokolov/iStock/Getty Images
"Of course I knew it was you. How many other people have a birthmark of Oklahoma?"
Pretty good, it turns out, since that's exactly what most revenge porn revolves around. Jacobs' explicit video was titled "[University Name] Professor Masturbates for Her Students," because her ex specifically wanted to frame the video in a way that portrayed her as a sexual predator. This is where the whole "revenge" aspect comes into play. Chiarini's and Vora's experiences were different, but no less terrifying: In both cases, their exes created online profiles about them, complete with their addresses and phone numbers, and actively messaged strangers, propositioning them for sex. Random Internet dudes started showing up at Vora's house asking to see her, or would wait by her door to "surprise" her when she came home from school. "The cops said I could call them if it happens again," she said, "But how does that help? ... 'Sorry, sir, please don't rape me for five minutes while I dial 911'?"
Maxim Kostenko/iStock/Getty Images
"Sure, you can use my phone after I finish posting your address on r/serialkillers."
It may be ridiculous, but that's not hyperbole -- Vora has good reason to be freaked out. "It surprises me how incredibly angry this topic makes men," Chiarini told us. "I've received rape threats and have been told 'you deserve to suffer' -- it's anger, like I did something personally to these men." This isn't shiny happy fun porn. This is revenge porn, and it's not about eroticism; it's about, well, revenge -- and the people seeking it often aren't even sure what they want revenge for. The men violently reacting to Chiarini were just random Internet users, not her ex. Not her employers. Not people she knew at all. They had no personal stake in her affairs whatsoever, but they were still pissed at something and coming after her. We're not sure if it's better or worse that the vengeance-seeking sociopaths showing up at your door expecting sex are also "confused" and "directionless," but it gets worse, because ...

Do we know of any martyrs from among the Roman Catholic Church that lived during the 5 centuries before Martin Luther (i.e. 10 - 15th centuries). I am especially interested in those who have been well-spoken of by Martin Luther.
Sign up

St. Thomas Beckett - 1170 - assassinated at a church for annoying the king who made him Archbishop.
St. Bernard and companions - 1226 - killed by the Moors
Bl. Charles the Good - 1127 - killed at church after stopping black marketers
St. Stanislaus - 1079 - killed after excommunicating a wicked king.
St. Elphege - 1012 - killed by Danish invaders for refusing ransom by selling off his church property.
St Adalbert - 983 - killed evangelizing Prussians.
St. Joan of Arc - 1412 - (not canonized until 1920, but pardoned thirty years after her death) burned at the stake and not really a martyr, but I thought I'd throw her in here.
St Wenceslaus - 929 - killed by his brother while praying in a church.
St. John Nepomucene - 1390 - drowned in the Vltava by a very different King Wenceslaus for refusing to violate the Seal of confession.
I found these folks just by looking through my lives of the saints book there are undoubtably more. I haven't a clue about Luther's knowledge of these particular saints. However, I think it's safe to say that everyone knew about St Thomas Beckett. Everyone knew about Joan of Arc. And everyone from Luther's neck of the woods knew about St. Wenceslaus and St Stanislaus.

Three people involved in a helicopter crash on their way to Fort Campbell are at home. A television news crew from WHAS traveling by helicopter crashed into Lake Malone Thursday. Witnesses say the three in the chopper are fortunate to be alive after the chopper sank into the water while they were still seat-belted in.
The photographer and reporter from WHAS (out of Louisville) and the pilot were able to escape through the busted windshield and swim to safety through the ice-cold water. The pilot says the chopper started to malfunction so he steered toward the lake.
Area neighbors say they are used to helicopters flying over their homes from Fort Campbell but they never expected a news helicopter to crash. Crews spent all of Friday attempting to retrieve the helicopter from the lake. Pontoon boats were used, along with a crane to retrieve the helicopter. No one was injured in the accident. The FAA is investigating the matter.

Out of all the enemies I have encountered in Halo 4, I'm finding knights the most difficult to handle. Playing the campaign on legendary makes the task of defeating knights even harder. When I encounter Knights I usually run out of ammo before I have killed all of them. So i'm assuming there must be a more efficient way of tackling knights?
What are the best tactics to use when confronted by multiple Knights?

After nearly 12 years of searching for her killer, Butte County deputies have charged a suspect in the murder of 41-year-old Shirley Pratt. They say this case was an old case, but it was no cold case.
Shirley was found with a gunshot wound in her head in the Oroville Wildlife Area near Vance Ave.
Her brother, who lives in the Northstate, said she was a "great lady."
"I had the detectives come to the house and they had me identify her," said Shirley's brother, Paul Pratt. "And I will never forget that moment. My heart just sunk down into my chest. And it's just terrible. No one ever wants to go through that."
Butte County detectives worked on the case for 12 years and thanks to new DNA technology finding evidence, they were able to link a suspect to the case – Marvin Ray Markle, Jr.
Markle is currently serving a jail sentence for a probation violation and now, he is charged with murder.
"People in the past that may not have cooperated that had information that have since changed their minds and came forward to share information they had from back then," said Detective Jason Hail. He said that Markle and Pratt were also acquaintances.
Although the detective would not say what he believes the motive of the crime was, he said they do have a motive in mind.
Meanwhile, the Pratt family says they are feeling relieved.
"I never felt so much relief," said Paul Pratt. "And that pressure taken off my chest... I didn't realize how much it was actually bothering me until I got that call saying they have a strong case."
We are currently investigating a report that the Pratt family believes that Markle could be connected to another murder in Vacaville.
We reached out to Vacaville Police Department and have not received a call back.

The following news comes from the Puskarich Public Library in Cadiz.
Local author to visit
Local author Kerry George will visit the Puskarich Public Library, 200 E. Market St., Cadiz, at 10 a.m. Feb. 16 to meet interested readers and sign copies of his new book "Black Damp Century."
According to a news release about the book, William "Buck" Storm is the tyrannical patriarch of his family and brutal coal mine owner whose war-time experiences have flawed him. He respects nothing and no one.
Jesse Kamin is the passionate son of a coal miner killed in an Ohio mine explosion and raised by a mother full of hate. Violence and anarchy in the United Mine Workers drive him to the government and by chance, he is pitted against Storm.
This is the story of strife, loyalty and fury as told with a backdrop of the historical events of the 20th Century, beginning with the bloody battle at Blair Mountain in West Virginia. The clashes deeply mar the coal operators, miners and the government for generations.
The miner's world holds multiple forms of black damp, which threatened to suck the oxygen from the lives of all involved.
George is a graduate of Ohio University and a retired U.S. mine inspector with the federal government. He lives in Adena with his wife, Christine and a daughter, Carrie.
Free tax clinics scheduled
The Ohio Benefit Bank will hold a free tax clinic on Feb. 2 and March 2 at the library from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The service is provided for any household making less than $54,000 a year.
Completed tax forms are E-filed for free, and refunds can be direct deposited in order to obtain reimbursement promptly.
The bank will determine tax credits a person can claim, including the Earned Income Credit and the Child Tax Credit.
Call the library at (740) 942-2623 to make an appointment and learn what papers to bring for the clinic.
There's a new addition
The Cadiz library has a new addition.
It's on the right side of its home page - a link to the Tumblebook Library with e-books that are always available to patrons of the library system. As long as the library client has an Internet connection and a device with browsing capabilities, patrons can view an e-book from the Tumblebook Library without ever waiting in line.
Help with losing holiday weight gain
Joseph Maiorano, family consumer science educator, will hold a program to shed holiday weight gain at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 28.
This is a program with strategies for healthy nutrition and physical activity to aid in reducing the weight gained during the recent holiday celebrations. Contact the library for information.
Maiorano will hold a summer get-away program from 4 to 6:30 p.m. March 4. Participants will explore options for local destinations and ways to save money.
A class on scarf sewing
Marie Mader will be instructing a scarf sewing class from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Jan. 30.
Stop at the library or call to get the list of materials needed for the project.
Attention, area hiking enthusiasts
The Outdoors Club will meet at 2 p.m. Feb. 17 to hike part of the Clendening Lake section of the Buckeye Trail. Hikers should meet at 1:45 p.m. at the state Route 799 pull-off at the start of the hill from the lake toward Kennedy Ridge.
Cherilynn Morgan will demonstrate the basics of jewelry making and then the class will create a special piece at the session at noon March 9 at the library.
Pre-school story hour will be held from 11 a.m.to noon each Wednesday for those 3-years-old through kindergarten. It will be held on Tuesdays at the Scio Branch Library from 1 to 2 p.m. Call (740) 945-6811. The Clark Branch Library will hold the story hour on Thursdays from 11 a.m. to noon.
Toddler Time, for children age 1 to 3, will meet on the second and forth Wednesday at the Puskarich library from 10 a.m. to 10:45 a.m on Feb. 13 and 27.

CNN cited the American Immigration Council's recent report ...
Washington: Immigrant Entrepreneurs, Innovation, and Welcoming Initiatives in the Evergreen State
In Washington, 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. Highly skilled immigrants are vital to the state's innovation industries and to the metropolitan areas within the state, helping to boost local economies. Furthermore, local government, business, and non-profit leaders recognize the importance of immigrants in their communities and support immigration through local "welcoming" and integration initiatives.
Immigrant entrepreneurs contribute significantly to Washington's economy.
- From 2006 to 2010, there were 45,696 new immigrant business owners in Washington, and in 2010, 15 percent of all business owners in Washington were foreign-born.
- In 2010, new immigrant business owners had a total net business income of $2.4 billion, which is 13.1 percent of all net business income in the state.
- Washington is home to many successful companies with at least one founder who was an immigrant or child of an immigrant, including large companies such as Nordstrom, Weyerhaeuser Company, Costco Wholesale, and Amazon.com. Those four companies together employ over 250,000 people and bring in $180 billion in revenue each year.
- In 2010, the foreign-born share of business owners was 19 percent in the Seattle metropolitan area. In the case of Seattle, the immigrant business ownership rate was higher than the foreign-born share of the total population.
Highly skilled immigrants are vital to Washington's innovation industries, which in turn helps lead American innovation and creates jobs.
- Immigrants contribute to Washington's economic growth and competitiveness by earning degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields from the state's research universities. In 2009, around 26 percent of STEM graduates from the state's research-intensive universities were foreign-born, and almost half of the graduates earning PhDs in engineering in Washington were not born in the U.S.
- In 2011, the U.S. Department of Labor certified 10,244 H-1B high-skilled visa labor certification applications in Washington, with an average annual wage of $80,820, which is higher than Washington's median household income of $58,890 or per capita income of $30,481.
- An expansion of the high-skilled visa program would create an estimated 10,400 new jobs in Washington by 2020. By 2045, this expansion would add around $4 billion to Gross State Product and increase personal income by more than $3.6 billion. The following is an example of a metropolitan area's demand for high-skilled foreign-born workers.
- The Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue metropolitan area had 9,633 H-1B visa requests in 2010-2011, with 78.2 percent of H-1B visa-holders working in STEM occupations. Major employers with a need for H-1B high-skilled workers include Microsoft Corporation, Amazon Corporate LLC, the University of Washington, T-Mobile USA Inc., and Expedia Inc.
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 cities across Washington, 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.
- In Seattle, along Aurora Avenue in Shoreline, the vitality of the Korean community is evident in the many businesses located there. Regionally, the Korean community owns more than 3,000 businesses.
- Korean businesses are not just concentrated in a single neighborhood. As an example, Magnolia has a Korean cleaning business and restaurant. There is also a Korean grocers association due to the number of small grocery stores in various neighborhoods.
- In Spokane, several members of the Azar family, from Jordan, have become small business owners. For example, Victor Azar's first business was Azar's Café, which he began while still a student at Eastern Washington University.
- Today, Azar runs two Spokane-based businesses: Café MAC and Victor's Hummus, which sells its food products in around 50 stores across the Inland Northwest from Bozeman, Montana, to North Idaho, to Hood River, Oregon. Azar plans to continue growing his business further.
- In Everett, Aleksey Dudnik, from Ukraine, opened Downtown Banya five years ago. "Banya" is a spa experience common in Russian culture. The facility also includes a bistro where patrons may enjoy a selection of Russian, Ukrainian and European cuisine.
- "This is the best place for someone to get a business going," Dudnik said of starting a business in the U.S. Juergen Kneifel, who interviewed Dudnik, observed that "hard work and sacrifice are not something that will deter these newcomers," and "education seems to be a high priority as these new business entrepreneurs soak in the ways in which they can build a profitable enterprise."
In Washington, localities have begun recognizing and supporting immigration through "welcoming" and integration initiatives.
- The City of Seattle's Immigrant and Refugee Initiative, a component of the city's Race and Social Justice Initiative, recognizes the need for the city to embrace its newest residents. In particular, the broad and comprehensive initiative "promotes the full and active participation of immigrant and refugee communities in Seattle's civic, economic and cultural life."
- The initiative's Action Plan is designed around five major immigrant- and refugee-related issues: access to services and information, protection of civil rights, civic engagement, workforce and economic development, and service delivery.
- Several Washington cities have passed resolutions aimed at encouraging comprehensive immigration reform, condemning negative immigration legislation such as Arizona's SB 1070, or positioning themselves on the path to being welcoming communities.
- In 2010, in response to Arizona's SB 1070 law, the Tacoma City Council passed a resolution asking Arizona to rescind the law and asking the presidential administration to enact comprehensive immigration reform. The Seattle City Council unanimously made a similar resolution in 2010, but it went a step further by stating that they would not enter into new contracts with business in Arizona.
- The Seattle City Council also supports reforming the U.S. immigration system when they voted unanimously to pass a resolution supporting comprehensive immigration reform in May of 2010. Speaking of the resolution, Seattle City Councilmember Nick Licata said, "The time is now to make a difference in comprehensive immigration reform. We are a country founded on providing safety for everyone equally and humanely."

Tips for New Moms: Three Steps for Sanity
To consistently perform to your ability, however, you must take care of yourself. And that's where most moms falter, because InStyle magazine does not interview a movie-star's nanny nor tell us about the manicure appointments the celeb goes to instead of taking "baby and me" classes at Gymboree.
The same way doctors cover up for celebrity patients, I had to learn to cover up for myself. Based on what society expected of me in what it deemed my most important role in life, I persuaded myself it was shameful to resent motherhood, shameful to want more from life than my beautiful husband and children. In my rush to provide for others the past five years, I denied myself personal pleasures: trips to the library in which I got to choose a book; massages and leisurely museum strolls; walks alone, and window-shopping; writing in my journal in a café, or sitting on a beach by myself.
Yet, I could not imagine embracing a life that openly allowed me these treats, when my kids spent half their weekdays with a caretaker. So I created my "secret life" tunnels and hideaways into which my soul could duck and cover for a furtive half-hour, three hours, or an entire weekend. I didn't ask permission to spend money or take the time. I didn't tell anyone where I'd been or what I'd done. I just went somewhere my heart desired, took in something that I would appreciate more than anyone, and stashed the pleasure away like a ring from a boyfriend who comes from the wrong side of the tracks. In secret I can feel the weight and giggly expanse of it, the fullest measure of pleasure, without worrying what anyone else will think.
It's really sad that moms feel they must go underground to care for themselves. It's unconscionable that our society should expect us to march our progeny into good citizenship, without regard for our own health and sustenance. But most moms I know don't have the wherewithal to defend their needs at the same time they're working full-time, getting kids to school, supporting their husbands' careers, caring for aging parents, providing snacks for sports and extracurricular activities, volunteering, and fund-raising for their children's schools or organizations.
So we have to have top-quality chocolate stashed somewhere only we know about. A book of sonnets in the bathroom. A massage therapist or make-up counter on speed dial. Or, a list of "favorite places I never get to go" folded and pressed into the glove compartment.
Believe me, you never want to go to the well and hear the bucket scraping rock on the bottom. You never want to feel, as I did once, that you and your family are hanging by this rope, coming up plaited with despair and dry as a bone. You have to find a way to keep your spirit moist and alive, both for yourself and for the sake of your family.

If I have an arc (which comes as part of an ellipse), can I represent it (or at least closely approximate) by cubic Bézier curve? And if yes, how can I calculate control points for that Bézier curve?
http://www.spaceroots.org/documents/ellipse/ goes through the math and presents some simple equations for the control points.
If anyone her is familiar with Postscript or LaTeX, I made some working examples to draw ANY elliptical, parabolic, hyperbolical and circular arc only by using a) integral (not rational) quadratic Bezier curves with the Picture environment in LaTeX and b) for the PostScript language, using integral cubic Bezier curves.
I've seen many repeated examples in the literature and on the internet, where there were attempts to do this with some magical math. This must fail from the beginning, because there is no way to produce any "good" approximation of a semicircle with only one cubic curve.
So I started to think of it from another perspective. Rational curves use weights, which are associated to the respective Bezier points to give much more control over the curve shape then integral Bezier curves. From a mathematical point of view they exactly reproduce any conic curve form (parabol, hyperbola, ellipse, circle and (degenerated) a line).
A quadratic rational Bezier curve in standard form (only the center point has a weight other then 1) converts into a integral Bezier curve, if this center weight comes close enough to 1 (the user can controll the allowed error).
Using a recursive formulation, this idea leads to a very conpact and also very precise way to replace circular arc by a series of either quadratic or cubic Bezier curves. No math is needed any more the only thing one has to provide is the error bound. If you look at Postscript itself, you'll find out that their interpreter does it the same way, Adobe calls it simply "flatness". This is exactly the same approach that I used.
If anyone here is interested in working examples (Postscript, Latex or C code), leave me a note at . I will post you back the code with many examples. In the interim, you may want to look at "Lapdf", a Latex style I published on the CTAN network. This style lets you produce pure PDF graphic from within your LaTeX document. It has all these nice things implemented, which means you can draw any conic curve by using only PDF curves, which means integral cubic curves. Another LaTeX style made by me, is the Curves style, which only uses LaTeX own internal integral quadratic Bezier curves to accomplish the same results.
If you look at the whole curve drawing/converting problem from the perspective of the rasterizing engine, which essentially brings all this to paper/screen or any other output device, you come to the conclusion that it does not matter fro the rasterizes which way the curves were produced, it only has to poduce nice aligned dots which give the impression of a smooth curve.
From my point of view (and I literally read hundrets of scientific papers on these subject) many able people waste their time, trying to overmathematize this whole area. Most of them didn't ever implement any working function/procedure to draw a perfect curve shape, but everything they ever said or wrote, can be mathematically proven. This is the great divide between theory and practice.
I'm only occasionally here to read things, so please contact me if there is really interest in solving this problem practically. For all those who can't wait, here is the C code for a routine which draws rational quadratic Bezier curves (which implies all conics), only using integral quadratic Bezier curves:
At the end of this comment, I would like to mention that all of this any much more is implemented in my published versions of EiC (Ed. Breen's ANSI C-Interpreter). My version is pure batch orientated and additionally supplied with an extensive graphics library, using Nelson's high quality antialiasing.
This EiC interpreter is available for pure DOS (VESA mode, linear frame buffer), Windows (VESA mode, bank switching), Atari, Mac 68k (MPW tool), Mac OS 9 (MPW tool) and Mac OSX (using AquaTerm). I don't know anything about UNIX/Linux graphics, so this one is left out for now.
Thanks for your good website folks and keep programming.

I'm using the Gmail labs feature which adds SmartLabels such as "Promotion" and "Social Update" to relevant emails. I would like all SmartLabel emails archived/inbox skipped and all given a label (they can still keep the SmartLabel or not - I don't care). But when I click on "edit" for each SmartLabel filter I get "Invalid search query - returning all mail." Any ideas?
migrated from superuser.com Nov 4 '12 at 23:48
This question came from our site for computer enthusiasts and power users.
I found this about.com article helpful for doing just that:
For example, to set up a filter for SmartLabel notifications, use:
then have it skip Inbox, etc.
Note: Gmail will warn you that this won't work for incoming emails but it does indeed work.
about.com for the win (never thought I'd say that)
Note: create a new filter, don't edit the SmartLabel one
For the first part of your question, you might want to check this:
For the second part of your question, I suggest you select the Label - when it lists messages, select multiple messages (one each from Facebook, twitter, etc..) and click on More -> Filter Messages like these (and change FROM to *@facebook.com, *@twitter.com, ...) and choose a label - so basically you would have to create a new filter.
You could also have separate filters for Facebook, Twitter, Quora, ... and choose to move them to different labels, skip inbox (and optionally mark them as read) if you wish.

You can't get a global education without professors who are themselves globally trained and committed to bringing the world into their classroom teaching.
Grinnell College faculty are resolutely international. Some of them were born outside the United States, while others have spent considerable time living outside the U.S. All of them, however, understand their field of expertise in global terms, and they bring that perspective into their classes.
In a biology class, for example, you might read a scientific paper written by an Australian scientist. In your political science class, you may do a presentation on the different voting systems of Latin America. Your Introduction to Gender, Women's and Sexuality Studies will make you aware of the economic status of women across the globe. And your German seminar may focus on the current debates in contemporary German culture.
Grinnell has a number of interdisciplinary concentrations that allow students to understand global issues and regions from a variety of perspectives. For example, the Global Development Studies concentration includes courses in economics, anthropology, and the foreign languages. Russian, Central, and Eastern European Studies has courses in history, political science, and Russian. Environmental Studies has courses in biology, chemistry, economics, and political science. There are also more informal clusters of courses around themes such as Peace & Conflict Studies, and Migration and Nationalism.
Don't overlook the variety of short courses taught by visiting international scholars and artists, organized by the Center for International Studies. You could take a six-week course with a Russian specialist of cinema, or a three-week course on "Human Rights" taught by a Sri Lankan political scientist.
Grinnell puts tremendous resources into keeping faculty up-to-date in global knowledge. Many faculty go abroad to do research or attend academic conferences. The Center for International Studies organizes a biannual Faculty Development Seminar to take a group of faculty to a specific site to deepen their teaching and scholarly knowledge.
You'll be amazed at how much you'll learn about the world in the many conversations you'll have with Grinnell professors, both inside and outside the classroom.
- Some recent courses offered at Grinnell include "Human Rights: Foundations, Challenges and Choices," "Constructing the Spanish City" "Europe Under the Great Dictators," "African Music," and "The Effect of Climate Change on Organisms"
- Grinnell faculty are currently doing research in China, Mongolia, Ukraine, France, Germany, Peru, Denmark, Canada, Turkey, the Czech Republic, Colombia, Greece, Italy, England, Bolivia, Russia and England, among other places.
- Grinnell faculty speak many languages, including Hindi, Punjabi, Bosnian, Macedonian, Kiswahili, Afrikaans, Yucatec Mayan, West Indian Creole, and Catalan, among others.
- Read the report of Ari Anisfeld '09 during his trip to Costa Rica as part of his course on "Sustainable Development in Costa Rica"
- David Campbell, the Luce Professor of Nations and the Global Environment, has eight permanent study sites in the Brazilian Amazon, studying over 22,000 trees.
- Some of the recent international visiting scholars have been professors from England, Sri Lanka, France, India, Poland, and Germany.

As far as I know, this is one of the biggest questions in the epigenetic field: how are the epigenetic marks like histone modifications propagated through cell division? A lot is already known about DNA methylation (e.g. as in How does "inheritance of methylation" of DNA and/or histones work?), but very little about histone modifications. What is the current state of knowledge?
I can get the ball rolling..
Found a nice paper which looks at this phenomenon in yeast.
So as a primer, 8 histone proteins come together to make a spool of sorts which DNA wraps around:
Histone proteins have many sequence variants, and each one of them can be covalently modified with methyl, acyl, phospho, SUMO, adp and many other sorts of chemical groups via a chemical bond. Although its not yet clear exactly how it works its clear that these modifications can change the behavior of the histones which prevent transcription of the gene when they have the chromosomal DNA all wrapped up.
So as to the question a pattern of inheritance of modified histone patterns is indeed seen and has epigenetic effects. (that is, it modifies the genetic phenotype of daughter cells which retain the histone modifications of the parent cells). In this paper, newly synthesized (and labelled) yeast histone can be found incorporated into certain segments of the genome, which demonstrates that large segments of the histones are carried forward from the parent cell.
They also found a particular case of histone epigenetic labeling carried forward through division:
So there's evidence that histone configurations are transmitted epigenetically, In this 2011 paper, the author support a 'conservative distribution model' and compare it to a 'semi-conservative' model:
They go on to say that a conservative model of histone inheritance allows for strong epigenetic inheritance as the remaining parent histones will tend to attract similarly labelled histones as the new histones incorporate themselves among the parental histones on the daughter chromosome.
Its still being worked out though...

Consider a probability space $(\Omega, \mathcal{F}, P)$. Why in the definition of a random variable $X$ it is required that $X$ is a mapping from the sample space and not from the $\sigma$-algebra of events? That is, why $X: \Omega \rightarrow R$ and not $X: \mathcal{F} \rightarrow R$?
This was originally posted as a comment:
To which Leo answered this:
The sample space can be viewed as the "states of nature." A random variable represents a measurement of the system under observation. The $\sigma$-algebra represents the subsets of the sample space to which we can assign probability.
The main reason is that in probability theory one often works with multiple $\sigma$-algebras defined on a common sample space $\Omega$.
A very standard example is a collection of $\sigma$-algebras $({\mathcal F})_{n \in {\mathbb Z}}$ such that ${\mathcal F}_n \subset {\mathcal F}_{n+1}$ for all $n \in {\mathbb Z}$. If one thinks about the $\sigma$-algebra as an amount of knowledge about $\Omega$ then this would represent gradual gathering of information. Therefore if $X$ is ${\mathcal F}_n$-measurable for some $n \in {\mathbb Z}$ it will naturally be measurable in all "later" algebras ${\mathcal F}_m$, $m \geq n$. From this point of view, it's more natural to think about $X$ as residing in $\Omega$ rather than in one concrete $\sigma$-algebra. [Note: nevertheless, it's true that there exists also a canonical $\sigma$-algebra associated with $X$, namely $\sigma(X)$ which is a smallest $\sigma$-algebra that makes $X$ measurable.]
Another reason one doesn't want to restrict random variable to one particular $\sigma$-algebra is that we often use operations such as conditional expectation $\mu(X|{\mathcal A})$ of random variable w.r.t. $\sigma$-algebra. Operations like these effectively change what you'd consider a domain of the random variable from one $\sigma$-algebra to another.
There is much more to be said and it all has to do with probabilistic way of thinking but the bottom line would be that in probability theory one has a huge amount of freedom of how to model the given problem: there is no canonical sample space, no canonical $\sigma$-algebra and no canonical measure; each of them can be extended and restricted as the need requires.

I have a KMZ vector file which works fine on my Google Earth application, but i want to overlay this on my phone (android) through Google maps. Is that possible??? thank you very much Mike
Not sure if this is quite what you are getting at, but you can view any KMZ (as long as it is under the size limit, not quite sure what that is...) in google maps by referencing its location it in the google maps url:
you can place the url to any kml or kmz after "maps?q=" to view it in google maps (or if you are using the standard google maps search interface, just enter the url to your kml/kmz into the search bar)
This displays the USGS kmz of San Francisco geology in google maps. It works on my iPhone, let me know if this works for your Android.
Google Earth for Android devices is available for Free from Google Play Store
This will display your KML/KMZ files.
Currently on version 7.0.1
Just be careful on data usage limits on your Mobile/Cell plan

Over Tumbled Graves (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
During a routine drug bust, on a narrow bridge over white-water falls in the center of town, Spokane detective Caroline Mabry finds herself face-to-face with a brutal murderer. Within hours, the body of a young prostitute is found on the riverbank nearby. What follows confronts our fascination with pathology and murder and stares it down, as Caroline and her cynical partner, Alan Dupree thrown headlong into the search for a serial murderer who communicates by killing women uncover some hard truths about their profession . . . and each other.

The Japanese economy showed steady recovery for
20032007. However, due to the global recession in late
2008, Japans GDP growth decreased to 1% in 2008 and
to 5.5% in 2009. Due to the counter-effect from the low
growth rates in 2009 and 2010, the GDP growth rate showed high
recovery of 4.4% in 2010. In 2011, the earthquake on March 11
damaged some manufacturing plants in the Tohoku and Kanto
Districts. The damage to part producers in Tohoku District
disrupted the supply chain to user industries,
especially the automobile industry. As a result, 2011
automobile production in Japan decreased by 13% from 2010
Table 1 summarizes Japans ethylene
production and ethylene-equivalent consumption and trade. The
ethylene-equivalent demand increased during 20022007.
However, it decreased in 2008 and 2009 because of the global
recession. In 2010, ethylene-equivalent consumption recovered,
but it decreased again in the following year. In 2011, the
exports of ethylene-equivalent chemicals decreased and imports
Table 2 shows the correlation between the
growth of ethylene-equivalent demand and GDP growth. The table
shows that domestic ethylene-equivalent demand strongly
correlated with economic conditions. Although the growth rate
of domestic demand has the same tendency as the GDP growth
rate, ethylene-equivalent consumption is less than that for
GDP. A possible explanation is that petrochemical-consumer companies
have been shifting their manufacturing base from Japan to other
Asian-Pacific countries and increasing imports of finished
goods, such as electrical appliances, toys and plastic
Fig. 1 shows that the volatility of
ethylene-equivalent demand is higher than the volatility of
GDP. This can be explained by the inventory cycle. Production
cannot be modified as quickly as inventory during recession
times. Consequently, these conditions cause overshooting or
undershooting of ethylene-equivalent demand against GDP
changes. Fig. 2 shows domestic monthly
ethylene production rates for 2010 and 2011.
Fig. 1. Ethylene
demand and GDP growth:
Fig. 2. Monthly
ethylene production.
The March 11 earthquake damaged chemical plants and
refineries in Tohoku and Kanto Districts. Four ethylene
crackers were shut down; these crackers have a total ethylene
production capacity of 1.8 MMtons and account for 23% of
Japans ethylene capacity. Among these four crackers, two
crackers were started up less than one month after the
earthquake. The other two ethylene plants were started up in
May and June of 2011. Due to the shutdowns, ethylene production
was lower in 2011, as shown in Table 1.
However, Japans ethylene production was affected more by
the global economic slowdown triggered by the euro crisis.
Fig. 3 shows the monthly
ethylene-equivalent consumption and net exports in Japan.
Please note that the monthly statistics include a time lag
between calculated and actual consumption because of inventory
changes. Ethylene-equivalent consumption was affected by the
March 11 earthquake. Consumption sustained a relatively high
level from April to August of 2011 because of the recovery and
reconstruction. However, consumption began decreasing in
September 2011 due to the global slowdown.
Fig. 3.
Ethylene-equivalent consumption.
Table 2 summarizes aromatics production
from 20002011. Like ethylene, the aromatics production
also increased during 20032007; however, it dropped by 9%
in 2008 and by 4% in 2009. In particular, benzene decreased by
13% in 2008 and further decreased by 7% in 2009 due to low
styrene monomer (SM) production. Conversely, xylene production
did not decrease so much due to steady demand for paraxylene
(PX) and purified terephthalic acid (PTA). Toluene production
is linked to the operating rate of disproportionation and
dealkylation units. Aromatics production recovered in 2010 but
decreased in 2011.
Table 3 shows production and consumption
(trade) of aromatics in 2010 and 2011. As shown in
Table 3, benzene production and consumption
decreased in 2011 due to low SM production and declining
exports. Toluene production also decreased due to declining
exports. However, toluene consumption increased by 9% because
of strong demand for disproportionation units and gasoline
blending components. Xylene production decreased as several
production facilities were damaged by the
earthquake. Demand remained low until summer 2011, but
recovered in Q4 in response to growing demand by other
Asian-Pacific countries.
As shown in Table 1, Japanese
ethylene-equivalent exports increased during 20012007 in
response to the steady growth of the world economy, especially
in Asian-Pacific countries. However, in 2008, exports decreased
by 24% due to the global recession. In 2009, exports increased
and sustained high levels through 2010, fueled by growing
petrochemical demand in other Asian-Pacific countries. However,
exports decreased in 2011 mainly due to earthquake damage to petrochemical production facilities. The economic slowdown in
late 2011 also adversely affected exports.
Ethylene-equivalent imports in 2011 increased by 33% to make
up for production shortages caused by the March 11 earthquake.
A strong yen also stimulated imports.
From Fig. 4, it can be seen that
ethylene-equivalent net exports decreased, especially from
April to July 2011, due to production facility damage. After
the summer, net exports recovered as the facilities again began operating.
However, with slower economic conditions in late 2011,
ethylene-equivalent exports decreased in November and December.
A strong yen also affected the situation, with decreases in
exports and increases in imports.
Fig. 4.
Ethylene-equivalents net exports.
Table 4 summarizes sales and profit for the
petrochemical segment of 11 Japanese chemical companies
operating ethylene crackers. The profit of the petrochemical
segment showed cyclicality in the past. Since the trough of
2001, profits and sales increased due to a tight
supply-and-demand situation until 2007. However, a loss was
recorded from late 2008 to March 2009. The financial loss
continued in fiscal 2009, but it recovered in 2010. It was
estimated that fiscal 2011 would be a difficult year for the
petrochemical industry. Effects from the earthquake and
declining export levels along with low petrochemical
demandespecially in the automobile, electrical and
electronics industriesstill remain.
Japanese petrochemical companies actively invest in both
domestic and overseas markets. The companies prefer commodity
chemicals for overseas investment projects, and they focus on
high-performance chemicals and feedstock ventures in Japan.
In commodity chemicals, almost all investments are made in
countries with abundant raw materials, such as the Middle East,
or nations with growing consumer markets, such as other
Asian-Pacific countries. Sumitomo Chemical started up its
ethylene complex in Rabigh, Saudi Arabia with Aramco in March
2009. Mitsubishi Group companies have invested in a cracker
project in SHARQ, Saudi Arabia. Mitsui Chemical announced its
alliance with SABIC in the urethane business in February 2012.
Mitsui will license its toluene diisocyanate and methylene
diphenyl diisocyanate process to SABIC.
In China, several projects are in progress. In 2009,
Mitsui Chemicals started up a bisphenol A (BPA) plant, and it
plans to start up a phenol and acetone plant in 2014.
Mitsubishi Chemical started up a PTA plant in 2006, a
polytetramethylene ether glycol plant in 2009, and BPA plant
and polycarbonate plants during 20102011. Mitsui Chemical
also has been expanding its production capacities in Indonesia,
Thailand and Singapore, while Mitsubishi Chemical is expanding
its petrochemical production capacity in India.
In domestic investment, petrochemical companies focus on
propylene and aromatics rather than ethylene. US-based,
low-cost shale gas is changing the competitiveness of North
American gas crackers. For propylene, in addition to metathesis
plants from Mitsui Chemical and JX Nippon Oil & Energy
Corp., Mitsubishi Chemical started up a metathesis plant in
Kashima. Furthermore, many companies are now developing technology for on-purpose butadiene
production, including Mitsubishi Chemicals and Asahi Kasei
In addition to large-volume petrochemicals, Japanese petrochemical companies are
expanding their businesses into value-added products, both in
Japan and in other Asian countries, such as performance
materials for IT and electronics industries. Engineering
plastics are good examples of high-performance products.
Japanese companies have invested in specialty engineering
plastics projects located in Japan and
commodity engineering plastics outside of Japan. Mitsubishi
Rayon acquired Lucite International Group Ltd., a leading
methyl methacrylate (MMA) producer. Mitsubishi Rayon is
expanding MMA capacity in the US, Korea and Saudi Arabia, along
with poly methyl methacrylate capacity in Thailand, Korea and
Saudi Arabia. Polyplastics, Toray and Sumitomo Chemical have
expanded liquid crystal polymer capacities in Japan. Toray,
Tosoh and DIC have expanded domestic polyphenylene sulfide
capacities. Conversely, Polyplastics plans to start up a
propylene oxide/SM plant in Malaysia. HP

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

A surprising announcement from the Vatican today. Pope Benedict XVI is resigning at the end of the month, citing his advanced age.
The priest at a local Catholic church says like many, he was surprised by the announcement.
Pope Benedict called his decision one of "great importance to the life of the church," said St. Joseph Catholic Church Rev. Andrew Garner.
Many believe he will continue to contribute to the church in other ways.
"He may now begin to do some of his finest work in the ministry. He is a great theologian and loves to write, and I think we can anticipate he will continue to write and to publish."
Father Garner says while the announcement brings a mix of emotions, he is excited to see what the future holds for the Church.

Charlotte, NC – Chancellor Dr. Philip Dubois and Director of Athletics Judy Rose announced that the university and Charlotte 49ers head men's basketball coach Alan Major have agreed to a three-year contract extension that will keep Major on the 49ers sidelines through the 2017-18 season.
"I am pleased with the direction of our men's basketball program under the leadership of Alan Major," Rose said. "We are trending in the right direction. Our team played in post season for the first time since 2008. His recruiting model is based on getting quality young men into our program… good basketball players with strong character and a strong desire to graduate. I am confident that we will be successful in Conference USA."
Major just completed his third season at the helm of the 49ers men's basketball program. In each of his three seasons, the 49ers increased both their overall and conference win totals on the way to a 21-12 season in 2012-13 with an 8-8 mark in Atlantic 10 play. During those three seasons, Charlotte has had one player earn All-Atlantic 10 honors; two players earn A-10 All-Rookie team honors and one All-Atlantic 10 defensive team selection.
This past season, the 49ers recorded their first 20-win season since 2008 with 21 wins, which marked the most wins by the 49ers since a 21-win season in 2004-05. The 49ers earned a bid to the NIT which marked the program's first postseason tournament berth since reaching the 2008 NIT. Charlotte captured the Great Alaska Shootout title which was the 49ers first regular-season tournament title since capturing the 2004 Cable Car Classic title.
"As a coaching staff, we are excited and grateful for the opportunity to continue our journey at Charlotte," Major said. "I am thankful for the support and leadership of Chancellor Dubois and Judy Rose. I would like to give credit to our coaching staff, players and support staff for the part that they have played in this extension. I am very excited about the future of Charlotte basketball."
The 49ers, who competed in the Atlantic 10 Conference in 2012-13, are moving to Conference USA in 2013-14. Major and his coaching staff will welcome back four starters off last year's 21-win team.

Types of Mental Illness
In this article
Other, less common types of mental illnesses include:
- Stress response syndromes (formerly called adjustment disorders): Stress response syndromes occur when a person develops emotional or behavioral symptoms in response to a stressful event or situation. The stressors may include natural disasters, such as an earthquake or tornado; events or crises, such as a car accident or the diagnosis of a major illness; or interpersonal problems, such as a divorce, death of a loved one, loss of a job, or a problem with substance abuse. Stress response syndromes usually begin within three months of the event or situation and ends within six months after the stressor stops or is eliminated.
- Dissociative disorders: People with these disorders suffer severe disturbances or changes in memory, consciousness, identity, and general awareness of themselves and their surroundings. These disorders usually are associated with overwhelming stress, which may be the result of traumatic events, accidents, or disasters that may be experienced or witnessed by the individual. Dissociative identity disorder, formerly called multiple personality disorder, or "split personality," and depersonalization disorder are examples of dissociative disorders.
- Factitious disorders: Factitious disorders are conditions in which a person knowingly and intentionally creates or complains of physical and/or emotional symptoms in order to place the individual in the role of a patient or a person in need of help.
- Sexual and gender disorders: These include disorders that affect sexual desire, performance, and behavior. Sexual dysfunction, gender identity disorder, and the paraphilias are examples of sexual and gender disorders.
- Somatic symptom disorders: A person with a somatic symptom disorder, formerly known as a psychosomatic disorder or somatoform disorder, experiences physical symptoms of an illness or of pain, even though a doctor can find no medical cause for the symptoms.
- Tic disorders: People with tic disorders make sounds or display body movements that are repeated, quick, sudden, and/or uncontrollable. (Sounds that are made involuntarily are called vocal tics.) Tourette's syndrome is an example of a tic disorder.
Other diseases or conditions, including various sleep-related problems and many forms of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, are sometimes classified as mental illnesses, because they involve the brain.

I don't know the cigars, but the humidor is worth the $20
This is a great deal for a starter kit if you needed the accessories, and cigars.com is reputable. Sometimes you'll see just the sampler for $14-20. The cigars aren't bad at all. They're on the medium-heavy side. I have the cutter and really like it, only thing is there's a backing on it so you can't get the "perfect cut" on a torpedo. Lighter looks like it'll become a throw away according to a YT comment I found. And the humi is on the small side, but it would be a good desktop humidor. I can recommend this deal!
Note: If you're planning on buying this as a Christmas gift or your first batch of cigars you'll need to find a way to store the cigars before gifting/putting in the humi. It takes ~1 week to season a humi. You'll also want to get a hygrometer and humidity beads. I can recommend this deal!
The cutter is ok but not great, the lighter is ok but not great as well both are cheaply made, I got the lighter as a freebe with another deal and the filler nozzle broke half way through first filling, it did have a good flame while the fuel lasted. I had the same model cutter as my first it was cheap then but it did the job until I upgraded. All in all not a bad gift set for the beginner.
Decent humidor, okay cutter, okay lighter. Cigars are a good name. The only one I care for is the Mx2, but the Brazilia is a very good seller in the shop I work at.
Definitely worth the price like most of these kinds of deals.
The cigars and humidor alone are worth $40-$50 so this is a good deal. I love most CAO cigars. They don't seem to be quite as good as they were several years ago but they don't usually cost as much as they use to either. I remember paying $8+ per stick years ago.
I have that lighter and I hate it. It tool me 10 min just to figure out how to open it then another 10 to figure out how to make it light. I can say this is still a good deal even if you exclude the lighter,
Not bad... I've had good CAOs BUT I swear 8 out of 10 CAO cigars are essentially plugged.. they pack their tobacco so tightly that they lose all flavor and "smokeability".
@publicart: Huh, I recommended this deal twice. I really only meant to endorse it once...
@colbytitus: That is because the are no longer an indie boutique stick.....General bought them out
@videowallart: I am assuming that by your comment that you smoke Swishers??
CAO isn't the best, but it's not a bad deal if you need the accessories and want something new to try.

Was this a blind buy, or had you already seen it? There's a lot to like about the movie--too much, in fact--and it ends up feeling overstuffed compared to Brick, which really deserves a region A blu release.
