Products we used up in February and March
Kerastase Bain Chroma Riche shampoo: an excellent shampoo I've been using on and off for about 8 years. It's one of my favorites; I just don't use it exclusively because I sometimes get bored using the same products over and over, and also because it's very expensive. But if you're looking for a great shampoo for color-treated or regular hair, I highly recommend it. (I haven't colored my hair in years, but I still like to use shampoos for color-treated hair as I find most are more gentle than the average shampoo.) It smells great, cleans my hair thoroughly without leaving it dry or stripping it so it gets oilier, and my hair is consistently shiny, soft, and smooth when I use it. It also pairs very well with the Chroma Riche conditioning mask, reviewed here.
Frederic Fekkai Technician Color Care 3-Minute Mask: this is another product I first purchased several years ago, used up, and then didn't repurchase again until recently. I find it extremely hydrating and conditioning. It does weigh down my hair just a little bit, but not enough to make it limp; I'm not sure anyone else would notice it but me. Regardless, my hair feels like silk when I use this, and it also smells wonderful. I've been testing out another hair mask recently I don't like as much; I may end up returning it and repurchasing either the Chroma Riche mask or this one, as I have yet to find anything I like as much as either of them. (I'd also be open to any other recommendations you might have for hair masks/deep conditioning treatments you love!)
Neutrogena Night Calming Makeup Removing Wipes: reviewed here.
Source Naturals Skin Eternal Hyaluronic Acid supplement: reviewed here.
Hourglass Film Noir mascara: reviewed here. The sticker you see on it is a lovely idea someone gave me to help me keep track of how long my mascara's been open. I know some of you might disagree that this is necessary, but I do like to toss my mascaras after three months of use. It's true that probably 99% of the time the bacteria that can grow in a mascara won't hurt you, but that other 1% of the time or so, it's not and it can can cause corneal infections which can cause irreparable damage to the eye. I value my eyes and my sight, and don't think it's worth the risk. So anyway! Now I put a little sticker on my mascaras the day I open them, like the stickers you use to mark items at a garage sale. I mark the date I opened it and the date it expires, three months out. Then, around the time I hit the "expiration date," I retire it, open a new mascara, and label the new one. Yay!
Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum: reviewed here.
Softsoap Heavenly Vanilla Body Hydrating Wash: reviewed here.
And here are the products we used up in March!
Shiseido Facial Cotton: reviewed here.
Source Naturals Skin Eternal Hyaluronic Acid supplement: reviewed here. (Boyfriend started taking it too, and since we each take two a day, one bottle lasts us about a month.)
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Underground: perhaps my all-time favorite eyeliner, reviewed over four years ago here. I say "perhaps" because I think it's tied with MAC Blacktrack, which I've used daily for years for tightlining and sometimes lining my lash line. If I'm only considering colored liners, though, Underground is my #1. The 24/7 formula works very well on me, and Underground is the perfect effortless, neutral liner for defining the upper or lower lash line on me. It's always flattering, and has been a go-to product for me for years. I usually have 3 open at once (one at home, one at work, and one in my purse) and right now, one of the other two is also almost used up as well.
My only complaint is that it does tend to dry out slightly as you get toward the very end of the pencil. It's odd, though; it doesn't tug on my eyelids, but the "gel" inside the wooden/plastic (whatever that is) part of the pencil just detaches itself and falls right out, a thin little cylinder of pure eyeliner with nothing holding it. I would have continued trying to use this one until it was physically impossible to sharpen if it hadn't done that!
Guerlain Meteorites Voyage pressed powder refill pan: I'm glad Guerlain sells refills for this, because the compact itself is $170! This was my second pan of this I've used up (my first refill), and I've already replaced it with a new refill pan in my compact. I didn't want to let any of it go to waste, so when it was about 90% gone and I couldn't use it in the compact anymore, I scraped out the powder into a powder jar, crushed it up, and used it as a loose powder.
This is one of those powders that I think of as a luxury to own - I could live without it, but I love it so much that when I try to put it away to use up my other powders I always end up coming back to it after a while. The formula is elegant and the balance of the colors in the pan blended together is perfect on my pale skin, brightening and smoothing without adding visible glitter. The only problem I have with it is that it hardens more quickly than most other powders I've tried in response to the oils from skin and/or foundation being transferred via a brush. I've been able to combat this somewhat by using only clean, freshly-washed powder brushes with it, but even then sometimes the surface can get that telltale, slightly "shiny" look just by the end of one application. So then I take Scotch tape, press it into the surface, and it's ready to use again. I think this wouldn't happen if I only used it on bare skin or allowed my foundation to FULLY dry before applying, but who has time for that? Anyway, it might sound like I'm complaining a lot, but I really do like this powder. I just wish it wasn't so... finicky.
Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio shower gel: Boyfriend has a few Acqua di Gio products and got this in a set. He likes the scent, which he says complements the Acqua di Gio cologne nicely but doesn't smell just like it. He did notice that it left his skin a little dry and he wishes the scent would linger longer, as he can't smell it anymore after toweling off and he expects better from a shower gel with the name of a cologne on it. Regardless, he likes this one because it makes him feel sexy.
Liz Claiborne Curve for Men shower gel: This is Boyfriend's other favorite scent, and my favorite on him in the colder months of the year. He also got this in a set (along with a bottle of the cologne that rivals a pint of milk in size). He says this one leaves a residue on the skin that he thinks is responsible for its scent lasting longer after the shower, but he still feels clean afterward; it's not a grimy residue. The scent, he says, is similar to the Curve cologne, but the shower gel has a fresher scent, while the cologne leans more spicy and sweet. He hated the packaging, because the opening was so small he had to squeeze the tube really hard to get anything out of it. He says he'd repurchase, though.
Qtica Cool Refreshing shower gel: I got this as a GWP in a large Zoya order a while back. Boyfriend and I both used and liked it. It's got a strong, pure mint scent that's great for super-sleepy mornings when you're struggling to wake up, or in the summertime when it's sweltering outside and you'll do anything to cool down. It does offer a slightly cooling, tingling sensation, but it's mild, not enough to do any harm to the parts of my body with more sensitive skin. It doesn't leave a residue behind and offers the fun side effect of making you feel REALLY clean after using it due to the "fresh breath" scent. I'm not sure if I'd go out of my way to buy another or not, but I'd certainly accept and use it as a GWP/freebie again!
Olay Quench body wash: I went through a short "extreme couponing" type of phase last year, during which time I got this for free from Walgreens. (I think I bought some Venus razor blade cartridges, which I got for about 25% retail price, and then I had a coupon for a free Olay body wash when you buy the Venus refills I was able to use at the same time.) Anyway, it took forever to use up even with Boyfriend and I both using it because it's HUGE. This is another product I'd probably use again if it were free but wouldn't go out of my way to buy. I liked it; it felt good on my skin, and had a scent that made me feel clean, sort of how the scent of fresh cotton makes you feel. I wouldn't say it was anything absolutely exceptional, though.
Hopefully I'll be more on the ball next month and you'll see my April "use it up" post in just a few weeks...

That mascara idea is so clever! I write the opening date in a little list in my diary, but then I forget and it all goes wrong :P Wil have to try that in future! xxxReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks! I wish I could take credit for it, haha, but I got the idea from someone else. I only wish I could remember who it was so I could credit THEM properly! It works very well for me since it's right there on the tube... I see it every day so I can't miss it or forget!Delete
You need to track them down so we can all thank them :D Exactly, and you can't forget where you've written it down! xDelete
Hi Kristina-Really enjoy your blog! Do you shop at Sally Beauty Supply? I really like Beyond the Zone 'Last Call Hair Masque' that they carry. Also-Neutrogena Triple Moisture Mask (can find this at Target/drugstore).ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Michelle, thanks for the recommendations! I do shop at Sally's sometimes, yes. I think I tried the Neutrogena one over five years ago because it sounds familiar, but I don't remember what I thought of it! I guess I'll have to try it and/or the other one you suggested soon. Both are much cheaper than my two favorites so far (the Kerastase and the Fekkai), so I suppose it's worth continuing the search in hopes of finding another I like as much that costs less!Delete
Hi again Kristina-I forgot Nexxus Humectress Ultimate Moisture Deep Conditioning Treatment. If you go to Sally's ask about other hair masks-I know they have several that are in 'sample' packets--great to try w/out spending much $$ and you don't have to return them if you don't like them. I get most of my hair products at Sally's. I have tried some expensive brands and have found I like the products at Sally's better and way less $$$!!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Ooh, I like the idea of just trying sample packets! Thanks :)Delete

BEECH BOTTOM - A revolutionary water purification system is getting a test drive at Sheehan Pipeline's new Brooke County operations center.
North Carolina-based Work Well Hydration Systems sees the state-of-the-art mobile purification plant as a "proof of concept" demonstration for the oil and gas and mining industries.
"To my knowledge, this is the only thing like this on the planet," said Ed Wilcox, vice president of sales and Work Well's co-founder. "There's a company in Georgia that makes kiosks - the idea five years ago was to buy one, retrofit it, maybe customize it and then get it out on the jobsite, but they couldn't do it. It just wasn't reliable enough. The hurdle we had is that if Sheehan does not provide its workers with ice and water in the morning, they don't have to work. So come hell or high water, we have to have a reliable plant that produces a quality product using sanitary, safe methods. This does it, it does everything."

DEMONSTRATES CENTER'S CAPABILITIES — Ed Wilcox, vice president of sales for Work Well Hydrating Systems, demonstrates the capabilities of the company's mobile purification center at Sheehan Pipeline's Beech Bottom plant. - Linda Harris
SEAL OF APPROVAL — Beech Bottom Councilwoman Becky Uhlly gives the water from Work Well's mobile purification center at Sheehan Pipeline's Beech Bottom plant the thumbs up as Ed Wilcox, vice president of sales for Work Well Hydrating Systems, looks on. - Linda Harris
The plant, packed into what is no bigger than a standard-sized trailer, is designed for remote applications: Itss a 6,000-gallon-per-day reverse osmosis system, feeding into a 10,000-pound-per-day ice maker. It can store 8,000 pounds of ice and is equipped with two shoots that can dispense ice in bulk, which requires a much smaller carbon footprint. There's also a bagger, so when everyone's out on the job site, we just turn it into bagging mode and it will dispense a heat-sealed, 7- to 10-pound bag of ice every six seconds.
He said he can do it with any water source.
"As long as there's no standing petroleum and my membranes don't get clogged, I can pull from just about any water source," he said. "We could be feeding from the Ohio River and I'd have the same quality of water here."
While the system isn't cheap, the alternative - trucking bagged ice and bottled water to remote work sites on a daily basis - can be even more pricey.
"Nobody can compete with this," Wilcox said. "It costs me virtually nothing to make ice and to purify water. In addition to reducing their waste, they've got what's essentially an unlimited water supply. We're speeding the process up, addressing sanitary issues and getting guys out on the job site quicker."
Since there are plenty of packaged ice suppliers in the area, he said Work Well won't be making a lot of money from the Beech Bottom operation. Its real value, he said, is that it's "proof of concept for us."
"It can go anywhere," he said. "Right now we're focusing on pipeline and oil and gas companies and mining, but it can be any remote locations where they have to ship in bottled water and bagged ice. ... We can put one of our plants on site, then take samples of the local water, have it analyzed and then build a custom RO (reverse osmosis) plant to address that water."
Wilcox said they tested a much smaller beta version of the process at an oil and gas worksite last summer in Triadelphia and then incorporated what they learned into the current model.
"This is a much bigger plant, it can handle 1,000 people and store 8,000 pounds of ice," he said. "The beta plant was much smaller and could only store 1,800 pounds. The reverse osmosis plant is the same, but for cosmetic reasons we changed things around - we put aerators on and blocked off things for dust control."
Scott Foy, Work Well's vice president of operations and manufacturing, also beefed up the bagger, which in the original version took 22 seconds to heat seal a bag of ice.
"Like I said, this one can heat seal in six seconds. It's much more reliable, much quicker," Wilcox said.
Down the road, he concedes there could be other, humanitarian applications. Companies mining in Africa, for instance, could put a mobile purification trailer on site, power it with a diesel generator and purify local water. Not only would the company have pure water for its workers and operations, but nearby villages could access the purified water and ice.
"We're just in the beginning with this," Wilcox said. "We have to connect with the pipeline and mining industries; once we're established there, we'll be able to branch out to other areas."

I have a set of vector icons which I need to save as PNG images in 3 sizes (16,32,48). I'm confused as the best way to go about this to produce the best quality results. Either I can save each one individually at each size from within illustrator or I produce the largest size from illustrator (48x48) and then simply resize them down using my handy batch image resizing tool. Is there a difference in the quality the would be produced between these two methods?
It depends somewhat on the icons. Unless the job is paying by the hour, I'd definitely try the batch method first, because the quality difference is likely to be so slight as to be no difference at all.
If you have Photoshop CS5 or 5.1, you could run Image Processor Pro and save all three versions at once, with a separate subfolder for each size.
If not, an Illustrator action that saves each size for a given image would certainly speed things up for you.

Oakland police say a woman was shot and killed in front of a 3-year-old child. It was Oakland's 31st homicide of the year.
The 21-year-old woman was with a little boy when she was shot while standing outside a car shortly before 9 p.m. Wednesday night in North Oakland.
The woman died at the scene. The toddler was not harmed.
Police have not released the woman's name or said if the boy is related to her. Investigators say two people fled the scene in a black four-door car, possibly with rust on it.
Chief Howard Jordan told KTVU-TV the shooting is "heartbreaking."

Health & Pregnancy
Earlier-Term Babies, Slight Learning Delay?
July 2, 2012 -- Earlier-term infants may have an increased risk for learning delays, a new study shows.
When researchers compared gestational age at birth to academic test scores in third grade, they found that children delivered at 37 and 38 weeks' gestation had lower scores than children delivered in their 39th, 40th, or 41st gestational week.
The differences were small. But the findings suggest that even among babies considered full-term -- defined as delivery at 37-41 weeks -- gestational age at delivery may influence development years later.
C-Section Timing Implications?
The study could also have important implications for the timing of C-sections performed for non-medical reasons, the researchers say.
One in three babies born in the U.S. is now delivered by cesarean section -- a more than 50% increase since 1996.
Researcher Howard F. Andrews, PhD, of Columbia University, says pregnant women and their doctors should consider the possibility of learning delays when deciding on the timing of elective C-sections.
"This study is certainly not the last word, but it does suggest a potential risk for developmental delays among term infants born at 37 or 38 weeks," Andrews tells WebMD. "Even if the risk is small, why would you want to take it for a C-section that isn't medically necessary?"
Test Scores Lower in Earlier-Term Babies
The study, published online today in the journal Pediatrics, included data on more than 128,000 children born in New York City between 1988 and 1992.
All the children were delivered between 37 and 41 weeks' gestation, and all attended New York City public schools in third grade.
The researchers matched birth records with the children's scores on standardized third-grade reading and math tests.
Compared to children born at 41 weeks gestation:
- Children born at 37 weeks had a 23% increased risk of having at least a moderate reading impairment in third grade.
- Birth at 38 weeks' gestation was associated with a 13% increase in risk for at least moderate reading difficulties.
- A similar pattern was seen for math scores, but little difference in scores was recorded in babies born in their 39th, 40th, or 41st gestational week.

2007 L.A. Roadster Show -More Than Just a Roadster Show - Expanded For WebWritten by on September 11, 2007 Contributors: Kevin Elliott The 43rd Annual Show For The Half-Century-Celebrating L.A. Roadsters
We've seen an awful lot of anniversaries recently, and the L.A. Roadsters is no exception, as 2007 celebrates the club's 50-year anniversary. The event that the club is known for, the Roadster Show, held every Father's Day weekend at the L.A. Fairplex in Pomona, is no spring chicken either, this year seeing its 43rd annual happening. And it's still strictly roadsters in the main show area, though the outside car display is as big, while the swap meet, manufacturer, and vendor areas can very easily keep you from seeing any cars at all if you're not careful, since they cover so much ground!
This swap meet seems to draw out the rare stuff, and while a small percentage is purely on display for bragging rights, with owners having no real intention of selling, you'll find parts here you won't find elsewhere, and there are definitely bargains to be had if you keep your eyes open. How about a 4-71 blower, still with the diesel drive and in immaculate shape, for $200? We're still kicking ourselves for not spotting it on the first day, as it didn't sell until Saturday afternoon.
We could have happily spent all weekend in the swap meet, but duty was calling, so we made our way around the hundreds of roadsters in attendance as well as checking out all the new products and goodies, some of which you'll be seeing in the "Rod Shop" pages soon.
As ever, the roadsters ranged from strictly traditional to high tech, though we'd be hard-pushed to pick any emerging trend. The closest being pseudo-race cars running the gamut from gassers and faux dirt-track cars to beautifully engineered rods using traditional components but with a European vintage race car bent, such as with the use of 18-inch-or-larger wire wheels and Dunlop or Excelsior tires.
From the now-traditional-and extremely well-attended-open house at SO-CAL Speed Shop on the Friday evening prior to the event, to the very end of Sunday's action, many attendees probably still get around it all, which in our eyes makes it a roaring success.

Subtle light green is complemented by the gray spokes on the Americans at each corner of this stock-bodied A roadster pickup. In an age of ludicrously large rims, the 17s on the rear are barely noticeable here.Anaheim's Dave Rondou didn't have far to travel to show his '27 T pickup. There's a heavy '60s vibe going on here, with chrome steelies wrapped in whiteband cheater slicks, white pleated upholstery, and that diamond-accented tonneau with a shorty rollbar poking through.We showed you the rolling chassis for this '57 gasser in our April issue. Jimmy Shine has been busy finishing Todd Haas' 150, now complete with sign writing and a Ron Mangus-stitched interior.A healthy drop-job, tasteful scallops, and chrome-accented hood louvers and running boards combine nicely on this mild custom '36 cabriolet from Burbank.Buick wires are the crowning touch on this slammed 'n' shaved Chevy ragtop, which refuses to be pigeonholed as a rod, custom, or lowrider, but has elements of each genre.Flipper caps, spots, and skirts are just enough to embellish this deftly sliced '36 three-window, stopping short of garish.
Jim Lattin's fantastic 2004 recreation of the Warth-Hilborn streamliner graced the SCTA booth, along with a selection of lakes racers from past and present. The original was severely damaged in '47, rebuilt, and sold to the Grant Piston Ring Company before disappearing.The Stone's Speed & Sport '40 pickup wore an interesting two-tone paint scheme, incorporating scallops and using matching orange fender welting.Ken Embleton's track-nosed '28 roadster made it up from Santee in San Diego County. He's nailed the look with 'Stones at each corner, side and front nerfs, and liberally drilled backing plates on the Buick front drums.As color combos go, it's hard to beat orange and black, as evidenced by this Deuce out of the Hot Rod Garage. The chromed split 'bones and Merc caps add just the right amount of glitter.One of the neatest cars on the grounds for us was this black-on-black '32, with its 18-inch Excelsior tires on black 'n' chrome wires, and an extended hood covering a superbly detailed 24-stud Flathead. It's a beautiful blend of old meets new.Geoffrey Skene brought his Iona Hot Rod Shop-built '32 down from Wyoming for the Roadster Show, along with Denny Lesky's longtime hot rod Tudor, Regret, from Michigan.Losing the fins from the previous year's model, the '62 Chrysler Newport two-door hardtop has, in retrospect, much crisper lines than its predecessor. The tube grille cleans up the otherwise stock front end on this mild custom version.
Street Rodder magazine hosts a series of Road Tours throughout the season, traveling from event to event, and Myron Griffin chose the Vintage Air-sponsored leg from San Antonio to the Roadster Show to participate with his Deuce five-window.Sporting a fabulous induction system-four carbs with eight bellmouths at crazy angles-on its Flathead, and lakes-style headers exiting sculpted hood sides, John Swanson's '28 on '32 'rails is otherwise as traditional as they come.

Many small businesses anxious about president's second term

President Barack Obama's re-election to a second term is sinking in. No matter who small business owners voted for, the election takes away some of the uncertainty small business owners have been carrying around.
The question now is whether Obama can satisfy those who say he hasn't done enough to help them expand and create jobs.

Anita Baker hasn't made a record in eight years but fortunately, now that both her sons are in college, she's ready to sing again. Her single "Lately" from her forthcoming new CD "Only Forever" was the highest debuting single on the urban adult contemporary music chart on "Billboard" in eight years. It's also #1 on the smooth jazz chart. Surprisingly, the song is not a remake of the Stevie Wonder hit, but it's a cover of the song made popular by Tyrese from his self-titled debut album. (He's certainly happy Baker remade it, because he's a co-writer on the song.) Listen to "Lately" here.
But that's not all. Aside from her album, which is due out on October 30, on the legendary jazz imprint Blue Note, Baker will be making several TV and tour appearances this fall. Get your DVR's ready. Here's a look at her schedule:
Tuesday, October 9
"Dancing With the Stars" at 8 p.m. performing "Sweet Love"
Tuesday, October 30th
"The Today Show with Kathie Lee and Hoda" at 10 a.m. on NBC
Sunday, November 25
"Kaliedescope On Ice" after NFL on CBS
A performance with Olympic and World Champion figure skaters including Nancy Kwan, Sasha Cohen, Johnny Weir and more hosted by cancer survivors and skaters Dorothy Hamill and Scott Hamilton
Thursday, December 6
"The Late Show With David Letterman" at 11:30 p.m. on CBS
You can also interact with Baker via Twitter @iamanitabaker. She's on Twitter frequently, especially when her beloved Detroit Lions are playing.

unfortunately, there are not enough courageous congressmen and senators to fight the nra.Hide replies
The NRA is not the problem. The ACLU over-protecting the mentally ill is the problem.
Eugenes version of "Never let a crisis go to waste" has hit the news stands.
So tell me EK, what "significant gun control" that doesn't violate the second ammendment would have stopped this?
You do know that the "supposeded right to bear arms" is not "supposed" at all and has been affirmed by the Supreme COurt over and over again. It is not going away no matter how much you want it to.
Oddly enough EK, it was that "supposed right" that gave you the right to publish this drivel.
ANOTHER typical liberal babbling about guns. Instead of BANNING them maybe liberals should abolish the "gun-free zones" and let the law-abiding citizens actually be able to stop these nut-jobs before innocent people are killed.
How about some REALLY thinking from liberals for a change ???
Eh, asking liberals to think logically for once in their lifetimes is asking for WAY too much...Hide replies
Was Fort Bragg a gun free zone?
@From the Left.
Did Timothy McVeigh use a gun?
Did Ted Kaczyski?
The Manson Family?
9/11 Terrorists?
Jeffrey Dahmer?
Actually the Manson family did use a gun, killing Steven Parent, the 18 year old found in the car. Tex Watson was brandishing a gun at various times through out the killing spree, mostly to get victims to comply with being bound.
"Was Fort Bragg a gun free zone?"
Essentially yes. Just because it's an army base doesn't mean that soldiers walk around with weapons all of the time.
Have you ever been on a military base? People don't just walk around armed. They only have weapons if they are in immenent need of them, such as training or in one of our current hot spots.
If they are on a military base here in the states, they don't have posession of their military weapon. Those weapons are secured, as in locked up on base until they are actually going to need them.
All military bases have security forces, but much like police forces they take some time to arrive at the scene of any crime.
Un short, dumb question.
From The Left, I think you are referring to Fort Hood not Fort Bragg and besides that, as outoftowner1 mentioned, there aren't many people walking around with guns on bases.
"Was Fort Bragg a gun free zone?"
Actually, all military bases ARE "gun free zones".
From the Left, thanks again for proving when facts and logic are needed, liberals get confused.
Liberalism = From the Left = mental disease
So you establish that all milliatary bases ARE gun free zones.
Why? Liberal gun hating Generals? Or maybe some practical reason.
bink, you need to be smarter to play with the big boys!
Timothy McVeigh didn't use a gun. The 9/11 hijackers didn't use guns. There have always been crackpots who want to kill others, and they don't need guns to do it.Hide replies
We are talking about mass shootings, not terrorist attacks against the USA. Pay attention.
He is paying attention. Fat Cat is pointing out one does not need a gun to carry out evil acts. How is gun control working out for Chicago?
Mexico has some of the strictest gun control laws in the world, how is that working out?
bink, so a mass shooting is not an act of terrorism? Think it over.....
Eugene, many of us would like to hear a proposed FIX from one of you libs for once, rather than talk about *what shoulda coulda been done*. So, what is it that you'd like to propose?
Media will not report, but the worst massacre of school aged children happened in 1927 where 38 elementary school children were killed.
What type of "handgun" did a NRA member use ???
The killer used dynamite.
EK , why not look at the real cause for these tragedies.....like our current mental health policies , or lack there of. You'll never get guns off the streets , why not attack the problem at it's source?
It doesn't matter how responsible some gun-owners are when there are mentally unstable young people or other family members in their households with access to guns.
Spot on.
Our group beliefs one of the ways we can re-examine gun rights is to readdress the pardon, deferred prosecution and other programs that set aside/reduce criminal charges that result in the right to own a gun.
Over the last ten years our group has worked on grassroots efforts to separate out the issue of the right to own a gun from these mechanisms. Our pardon system achieve both setting aside convictions and restoring gun rights as if both were the same issue.
Why this relates to Eugene's comment is too often the mentally unstable in families to fight for their wrongfully convicted family members or friends buy guns.
Our group supported legislation in one state that grants the right of felons to seal their criminal records from public access or database sale. Its a step to rethinking the pardon system to enable people to move on to obtain employment achieving what in the past took a pardon but it does not restore gun ownership rights.
We take this approach of rethinking pardon rights because we believe due to the extreme length of time it takes for people to appeal and go through the pardon system that ordeal does emotionally damage them. Their rights to regain gun ownership rights need to therefore be viewed under a different system capable of addressing that emotional harm.
Forcing Wisconsin to better understand the gravity of pardon rights was the goal of our Doe girls. Forcing the innocent to have to fight the issue of gun control along with the burden of overturning their wrongful conviction is morally bankrupt. These issues are not the same thing.
Rethink the Pardon, deferred prosecution and other mechanism making the innocent fight the war on gun control.
I hope it leads to a real change in how we deal with the mentally ill as well. But the first thing that needs to be addressed is keeping weapons out of the hands of the mentally ill. That is the common denominator in all of these recent attacks. The shooter's mother was negligent in the handling of her son as well as her firearms. He should never have had access to them, let alone having her teach him how to use them.Hide replies
how do you know this? She was dead..... What if she had them locked but he knew where the key was?? It's to easy to speculate and easy to say woulda and coulda, especially after the fact!
I am an avid hunter and gun owner. I like shooting for recreation and have a conceal carry permit but I rarely carry it. Personally I would not own handguns if I had children and would probably keep my rifles in some sort safe or locker storage. I think we need to make it very difficult to own a gun. It should be a privileage. But how do we get the guns away from the criminals who already have them. This is a two faced problem.Hide replies
You can't get them from the criminals , that's why you attack it from another angle. From the mental health side!
most of the criminals get the guns from people who legally buy them, the country is flooded with guns 270 million guns as of 2007.

Let $0 \in D$ be a bounded domain. Is it true that we can always find a injective holomorphic map $F: D \to \mathbb{C}^n$ such that $JF=K(z,0)$? Here, $K$ denotes the Bergman kernel of $D$, and $JF$ denotes the complex Jacobian.
Edit: The question as stated is clearly not true. One could just take a domain with $K(z,0) = 0$ for some $z$. In the light of Alex Gavrilov answer, simple connectedness seems to be an important condition. So, is the conjecture true for a simply connected domain $D$ and $0$ being a point such that $K(z,0) \neq 0$ for all $z \in D$? More generally, does every non-vanishing square-integrable holomorphic function on $D$ arise as the Jacobain of some injective holomorphic map $F: D \to \mathbb{C}^n$?

This is my second order with PrintGlobe and I am very pleased all around. The online ordering process is extremely efficient and straight forward. My rep at the company is quick to see my order through and answer any questions that I have. They are in the US and speak my language literally and figuratively and are there to get me what I need. My pieces looked great and I plan on many future projects with this company. Thanks PrintGlobe!

Print Globe really bailed us out! We had a customer who slammed us with a difficult project that we couldn't fulfill in house, and our regular vendor was dragging his feet and couldn't even get us a hard price to tell our customer. Print Globe was able to create a solution for us and our customer and delivered on time and without complaints.
Hedgehog Solutions, Orem, UT
Price. Quality. Service. After 37 years in business, I've finally found a vendor who has all three. Wait! I just thought of one more - Variety. Now how can you beat four-out-of-four? I just love it when a printer makes my designs come to life and the client raves when they receive the final product. Thank you, PrintGlobe.

I'm having trouble verifying this inequality. It goes like this (appears in Giaquinta, Mathematical analysis, linear and metric structures, page 445): $$ \int_{0}^{\pi} \cfrac{\sin(x)}{\sin\left(\frac{x}{2n+1}\right)} dx \leq\frac{ 2(n+1)\pi}{2n+1} \leq 2\pi $$ Of course, the last inequality is obvious. The first one, however, I can't show. I've tried bounding $\sin(x)$ by $1$, and then calculating the integral with mathematica, but it comes out unbounded. When I put $n=1,2,3...$ or any finite number in mathematica, the result is numerically true, but I want to show this for any "$n$", and mathematica gives me a very complicated function (depending on $n$) with imaginary units and hypergeometric functions. I guess I'm missing out a very simple argument here. Any ideas?
Edit: I have edited so that the formula is identical to the one of the book.

There is a new trend called Lean UX, apparently stemming from the Lean Start-up approach. What are its main principles? What are good or recommended reference, sources or education for learning about it?
Personally speaking, lean UX is not a type of UX strategy, it is more like the business strategy which accommodates the fundamental UX principles. In UX Design you Design -> Prototype -> Validate as is, but when you do this in sync with other development units in the organization, it becomes lean UX.
Anyways, here are some of the links/books/what-have-you.
Lean UX model:
I think there needs to be more clarification on this concept in general. Even reading some of the comments so far I'm getting confused when UX within Agile is equated with Lean UX. There's a gap there that isn't really addressed in most content on the subject. And I imagine that's just because it's a challenge in general for which I'm not sure there's a single magic answer.
Lean UX, as explained by Jeff Gothelf, is one solution to the Agile UX problem. It is NOT necessarily the final answer to "Agile UX" and it definitely is not "Agile UX" itself. It was developed based on the lean start up concept as mentioned earlier, it was not based on Agile.
I think this is an important distinction, because so many articles on the subject make it seem as though Lean UX is a very clear answer to the UX within Agile question. When I see things that seem to imply that somehow you'll know how to manage all of this because you're doing Lean UX, I get kind of confused. Maybe it's just me, but it doesn't seem like it.
Even Gothelf doesn't seem to equate the two in any of his presentations or writings. He does a presentation on Lean UX within Agile and it's a whole separate beast. You take those Lean UX principles, sure, but there are new challenges to face and new questions to answer.
We have to separate the concept of Lean UX and the concept of Lean UX within Agile. Lean UX itself is a separate method that could be used regardless of the development process. Can it help in Agile? Of course. But that's an additional topic to me.
Lean UX within Agile is another situation entirely and one that I don't think is often even well covered. There is little, if anything, in the charts and articles generally provided on this subject that will give you any major clues on how to suddenly do UX within the constraints of Agile's tight development iterations.
The challenge of integrating Lean UX into Agile to come up with some sort of new, hybrid Agile UX methodology still remains. Equating the two seems to just lead to confusion, in my opinion. Many articles only touch upon that gap in platitudes, if at all. I think there are ways to address the gap that remains between Lean UX and Agile UX of this (largely making UX equal on the team like a developer or QA member -- maybe the points should include that work like it would any other work), but that's kind of an additional concept.
I'm not arguing against Lean UX, quite the contrary. I just think you need to be careful in assuming that you'll take Lean UX and clearly and easily slot it into Agile with developers and QA. It's not that simple. However, Lean UX forms a mindset and approach that's more similar (and therefore more suited) to Agile and I think it's the way to go in general.
I've worked on a team where we've done Lean UX in general to great success. But we were always ahead of development. We also tried an iteration where we designed and developed with a team on the same two week iteration – and it's a whole different scenario. Lean UX principles were used in both situations, but I would never refer to them as the "same".
Beyond all of that, I would argue heavily in favor of Lean UX in general for your UX team. It's not just a "buzz word", the tenets of it have actual practical purpose.
At my last job, we had a project where we were able to take the business needs, do contextual inquiry with our users, form the personas we needed and then write realistic tasks that got to what they actually would want to do in reality. Along the way we involved developers, business and marketing by letting them attend the tests and by immersing them in the information we had acquired. We then did paper prototyping around those tasks and tested those designs with actual users. And because it was paper, we were iterating between tests -- sometimes even during tests.
The task approach is a good one because we wound up with chunks of the site that could be moved on to development while we then in turn worked on the next set of tasks. I'm sure other places do it differently, but this went pretty well for us overall.
We eliminated the "toss it over the fence" mentality, we were constantly improving the product before it even got to development and (I think most importantly) everyone involved had a SHARED UNDERSTANDING of what the user needed and how we were addressing that need. Doing all of this in a linear fashion, as you may see on a waterfall project a lot of the time, would have diminished all of that.
I took the Luxr course a couple years back - their blog is a nice resource: http://blog.luxr.co/

Palembang, the second largest town on Sumatra after Medan, was once the celebrated seat of the rich and powerful Srivijaya kingdom, that for more than three centuries - from the 9th to the 11th century - reigned supreme over the Sumatra seas up to and including the strategic Straits of Malacca.
Srivijaya was then known as the wealthy trade hub as well as the center for Buddhist learnings. Monks from China, India and Java used to congregate here to learn and teach the lessons of Buddha. In AD 671 Chinese chronicles wrote that the famous Chinese Buddhist monk, I Ching sojourned in Palembang for six months on his way to India. I Ching wrote that there were more than 1.000 Buddhist monks in the city and advised Chinese monks to study Sanskrit in Palembang before proceeding to India.
While the Srivijaya kings lived inland on shore, his subjects lived along the wide Musi river, manning the powerful fleet and busily trading in gold, spices, silks, ivories and ceramics with foreign merchants who sailed in from China, India and Java. In 1025, however, the king of Chola in South India sent a fleet to Sumatra, destroying the kingdom, marking the end of its golden era.
Later, Chinese admiral Cheng Ho, emissary of the Chinese emperor visited Palembang in the 15th century.
Palembang is also known in history as the origin of the Malays whose kings are believed to have descended to earth at Gunung Siguntang, north of Palembang.
Today, not much can be seen from Srivijaya's golden age, except for evidence of the area's fine gold and silver songket weaving that persists until today, the fine lacquerware it produces for which Palembang is renowned, and its regal dances and opulent costumes.
Capital of the Province of South Sumatra, Palembang today thrives from coal, mined in its surroundings and from palm oil plantations. Much of the inhabitants still dwell for kilometers along the wide Musi river.
The Musi river has its source deep in the Bukit Barisan mountains, tumbling down to reach the plains where, fed by the converging Ogam and Komering rivers, it then widens into a large river as it reaches Palembang. Its many tributaries and streams that cut through Palembang, has caused this town at times to be called 'The Venice of the East'.
The Icon of modern Palembang is the Ampera Bridge, which was opened to the public in 1965, spanning this wide river connecting both sides of the city. The view from the Musi river from this vantage point is stunning. Watch the bustling boats at the floating market by the Ampera Bridge, while at sunset the view with the many houses on stilts along both sides of the Musi and the centuries' old quaint Chinese shop-houses, are memories to be captured on film and not easily forgotten.
North of the Ampera bridge, is the Mesjid Agung or Royal Mosque, built in 1740 by Sultan Badaruddin I, and recently restored to its former glory. This area was once the capital of a Malay Islamic kingdom which came to an end in 1825, when the last Sultan, Ahmad Najamuddin surrendered to the Dutch and was exiled to Banda Neira.
But Palembang is not only about history. On New Year's Eve, tens of disc jockeys gather downtown to deliver brand new energy, while the traditional songket weavers and wood carvers shy away from the loud trendy exposure.
When in Palembang do not forget to try the spicy steamed river fish wrapped in banana leaves, called pindang, or Palembang's specialty, the favourite dish called pempek dipped in aromatic sweet vinegar sauce.
Palembang together with Jakarta are the venues for the 2011 SEA Games.

The 24 meters long boat and 75 cm wide, powered by 50 oarsmen. Sriwijaya Festival every July perform cultural attractions and ornamental boat race
The City bus in Palembang is one of the most convenient in the country. The name of the bus is TRANS MUSI. There are two types of buses – the green and the blue one - with different routes.
The green TRANS MUSI's route goes:
Terminal Sako Perumnas – Jl. Celentang – Jl. Residen Abdul Rozak – Simpang Empat Patal – Jl. Basuki Rahmat – Jl. Demang Lebar Daun – Simpang Taman Bukit – UNSRI Bukit Besar – Jl. Jaksa Suprapto – Simpang Kedaung – Jl. Letkol Iskandar – Simpang Hero – PIM, and backtrack all the bus stops.
The blue TRANS MUSI's route goes:
Terminal Alang-alang lebar – Jl. Kol. H. Burlian – Jl. Jenderal Sudirman – Pasar 16 Ilir (Jl. Tengkuruk Permai) – Underpass Ampera Bridge – Jl. Masjid Agung – Jl. Jenderal Sudirman – backtrack to Alang-alang lebar.
If you prefer to take a more airy local transport, take becak or ojek instead. The fare is quite reasonable and worth the excitement.
The airport of Palembang is called the Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II International Airport. There are several airlines serving the Capital City of South Sumatra, Palembang. They are:
These airlines connect Palembang with Pangkal Pinang, Bandung, Jakarta, and Batam. International flights connect Palembang with Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Malacca, China, and Thailand.
If you are already in one of the cities or capital cities of Sumatra, an overland trip to Palembang is also possible. You can go to the main bus terminal in the city of Padang, Bukittinggi, Jambi, Pekanbaru, Dumai, or Bengkulu to and from Palembang and ask for Terminal Karya Jaya or Terminal Alang-alang Lebar. Terminal Karya Jaya serves buses going to the northern cities from Palembang, and Terminal Alang-alang Lebar serves the southern routes.

POWAY, Calif. – At the Northern Trust Open, Aldila showed why they are still the #1 graphite shaft on the PGA Tour. "The Hottest Shafts In Golf" played an integral role for the winner and Aldila also captured the driver, wood and hybrid shaft manufacturer counts.
The winner of the Northern Trust Open relied on the unmatched performance and incredible feel of Aldila's NV shafts in his Driver, 3 Wood and hybrid club en route to his first PGA Tour victory. He carded an 11-under 273 (68-66-70-69) and eventually won on the second playoff hole. With the victory, he jumped to the fourth spot in the FedEx Cup Standings and earned a check for $1,188,000.
"Aldila's NV™ features Aldila's patent-pending Micro Laminate Technology™ that provides the players enhanced power, consistent flex and precise feel," said Stewart Bahl, Aldila's Marketing Manager. "The consistent taper and slim profile produces a shaft with consistent performance, flex and feel throughout the length of the shaft while eliminating the dull "boardy" feel of other shafts on the market."
Led by their hottest shaft series, RIP, Aldila swept the shaft manufacturer counts at the Northern Trust Open. "The Hottest Shafts In Golf" had five more driver shafts, 33 more wood shafts and nearly twice as many hybrid shafts in play than their closest competitor, according to the Darrell Survey. RIP (Reverse Interlaminar Placement) completely transforms shaft design from the inside out providing players with shot control.
Two of Aldila's latest additions to the NV line is the RIP'd NV and NV 44 Magnum. The RIP'd NV incorporates the best performance attributes from two of Aldila's most innovative shaft designs -- the 'perfect feel' and slim, stable shaft profile of the Aldila NV® and the unprecedented control and accuracy of the Aldila RIP.
The NV® 44 Magnum is the first truly high performance ultra lightweight sub-50 gram shaft design. Typical ultra light shafts give up strength, flex, torsional stiffness, and overall stability in an effort to chase lighter weight. Aldila engineers have combined exclusive carbon fiber materials and resins with an innovative "Magnum" shaft profile and our exclusive Micro Laminate Technology® to achieve the highest level of performance possible in an ultra lightweight shaft. By taking advantage of the mechanical benefits provided by it's unique structural profile, the NV 44 Magnum offers optimum flex and torque characteristics for the better player while still maintaining the incredible feel that made the original NV the best selling shaft in history.
Aldila (www.aldila.com) catapults power to an unprecedented level. High performance technology harnessed and perfected from a special blend of materials, design and expertise. They are continually on the leading edge of the golf world through their relentless pursuit of the next best innovation. They do the experimenting so you don't have to. Pushing success to the edge and redefining how power should feel. Are you playing Aldila, or just graphite?

Unanswered: Why does this panel not render?
Can anyone telling me why this component isn't rendering properly when i run this method? The goal is to replace the center part of a border layout with a new object, a container with 2 panels inside.
I'm pretty sure the code is finding each of the right sections, because I put a test method on only those components and they all report back, but when I try the replace I get an empty patch broken into two. My guess was the container is rendering but the inner components aren't, but since AfterRender and AfterLayout don't run when i do it, maybe it's the container.
Here's the code for the method I'm calling:
openJob: function(jobno) { jobPanel = Ext.create('MyApp.view.jobcontainer'); jobPanel.test(); //Build the new panel object we will be using viewport = Ext.getCmp('mainwindow'); viewport.test(); centerRegion = viewport.getComponent(1); centerRegion.test(); //Locate the region we wish to replace centerRegion.removeAll(); /*jobPanel.add(Ext.create('MyApp.view.MyForm')); jobPanel.add(Ext.create('MyApp.view.MyTabPanel')); jobPanel.eachChild(function(child) { child.doLayout(); });*/ jobPanel.doLayout(); centerRegion.add(jobPanel); centerRegion.doLayout(); //Replace the panel and refresh that region alert("Done"); //Load the job details }
Ext.define('MyApp.view.jobcontainer', { extend: 'Ext.container.Container', alias: 'widget.newjob', requires: [ 'MyApp.view.MyForm', 'MyApp.view.MyTabPanel' ], height: 250, width: 400, layout: { type: 'border' }, initComponent: function() { var me = this; Ext.applyIf(me, { items: [ { xtype: 'myform', title: 'Job', region: 'north' }, { xtype: 'mytabpanel', region: 'center' } ], listeners: { afterlayout: { fn: me.onContainerAfterLayout, scope: me }, afterrender: { fn: me.onContainerAfterRender, scope: me } } }); me.callParent(arguments); }, onContainerAfterLayout: function(abstractcontainer, layout, options) { alert("I am HERE!"); }, onContainerAfterRender: function(abstractcomponent, options) { alert("I am HERE!"); }, test: function() { alert('Jobcontainer, reporting!'); } });
10 Sep 2012 1:21 AM #2
you can try following code:
var view=Ext.create('Ext.container.Viewport', { layout: 'border', items: [{ region: 'north', border: false, title:'North', margins: '0 0 5 0' , items:[{ xtype:'button' , text:'getRegion' , handler:function(){ view.remove('panel'); view.add(new Ext.container.Container({ region:'center', layout:'hbox', items:[ { xtype:'panel' , title:'panelOne' , html:'Hi' , height:100 , width:200 }, { xtype:'panel' , title:'panelTwo' , html:'Hello' , height:150 , width:200 } ] })); view.doLayout(); } }] }, { region: 'west', collapsible: true, title: 'Navigation', width: 150 }, { region: 'south', title: 'South Panel', collapsible: true, html: 'Information goes here', split: true, height: 100, minHeight: 100 }, { region: 'east', title: 'East Panel', collapsible: true, split: true, width: 150 }, { region:'center', id:'panel', title:'center' }] });sword-it.com, Sencha Developer House in Turkey - Istanbul University Technopark Suite 204.

Thanks Sword-IT, i think you were on the right track
The regions of a BorderLayout are fixed at render time and thereafter, its child Components may not be removed or added**. To add/remove Components within a BorderLayout, have them wrapped by an additional Container which is directly managed by the BorderLayout. If the region is to be collapsible, the Container used directly by the BorderLayout manager should be a Panel. In the following example a Container (an Ext.panel.Panel) is added to the west region:
The AfterLayout method not triggering was what gave it away eventually... Turns out the divided section is empty and divided because i removedAll first, but then couldn't add (the section i was replacing happened to be divided the same way)

Chevy Vent Window Replacement - Vent-Wing ResealWritten by Jeff Smith on January 1, 2008 If Those Cracked And Nasty Vent Wings Make Your Chevelle Look Like A Junkyard Refugee, Then Reclaim The Quiet With A . . .
'New-car manufacturers spend a lot of engineering resources minimizing what they term NVH, which stands for noise, vibration, and harshness. One component of the noise factor is the wind whistling through cracks in the seals around the doors and windows. The musclecars of the '60s are famous as wind-whistle generators, and much of that noise emanates from those quirky vent windows prevalent in most '60s cars up until 1968 when, on most GM cars (except El Caminos, for example), the vent wing disappeared.
For those of us who accepted these rolling wind chimes as part of the charm of a '60s musclecar, there are some solutions that can minimize that extra noise pollution. The best answer is a loud exhaust system. That does wonders for masking most annoying sounds, but assuming you've already done that, the next best fix is to take the plunge and rebuild those dried, cracked, and broken vent-wing seals. We attacked a couple of vent wings that had seen better days on an abused '66 Chevelle that we are slowly resurrecting from the dead. The process is similar for other cars as well. The easiest part of this whole deal was ordering the new parts from Original Parts Group (OPG). We could have even replaced the glass itself if necessary, but our green-tinted pieces survived in decent shape so we reused the originals. If this looks like more work than you want to take on or your barn find is missing its vent windows, OPG also sells complete assemblies ready to bolt in place. Once we had our new replacement pieces on the workbench, we decided to disassemble one side at a time so we could check our work if we got confused. The entire job took a little over two and a half hours, and now we have one more system rebuilt on our way to a fully resto-modded Chevelle.
Removing the original vent-window assembly from a coupe like this '66 Chevelle is relatively easy. You must first remove the armrest, window crank, inside door handle, and then the door panel. This will allow access to the vent-window lower mount. Then all that's left is the bolt at the leading edge of the chrome window frame, the small nut at the bottom of the door, and the long sheetmetal screw that passes through the inner door shell. With these three attachment points removed, the assembly will twist right out. You don't have to remove the window.
|All the following part numbers are for '64-'67 Chevelles only, and some are only for '66 and '67. Similar parts are available for other year Chevelles as well.

We laid the first unit on the bench and started by cleaning all the dirt and grime, followed by removing the small upper Phillips-head screw located at the very top of the door-glass run channel. We then removed the long door-glass seal.Next, we removed the two larger Phillips-head screws at the base of the window frame. This allows you to carefully separate the heavy chrome window frame from the lighter, stamped portion of the frame. But before you can remove the vent window, you must remove the nut from the bottom stud.We used a small hammer and chisel to bend the locking tab away from the nut. Bend the tab out only far enough to allow access to the nut with a 71/416-inch socket. Hit the nut with some penetrating oil to help with disassembly.After the nut is removed, this is how the separate pieces are installed. Arrow 1 points to the fiber washer that prevents wear on the U-shaped tab riveted to the bottom of the window frame. Arrow 2 points to the second fiber washer on the top side of the bracket. Pulling the stud out of the frame will release all the washers. We placed all our small parts in a plastic cup to prevent items from getting up and walking away.The original rubber vent-window seal was very brittle and broke into several pieces when we removed it from the heavy chrome window frame. If you are going to reuse the chrome frame, this is a good time to get out the metal polish. Ours was so heavily pitted that it required new pieces from OPG.Next, we used a small flat-blade screwdriver to pry up the tabs on the short vertical seal to remove it from the vertical metal frame. Pay attention to where this seal is attached to the frame. The wide portion faces the inside of the frame. You can identify the frame's interior side by the raised portion on the stainless steel trim that rubs against the vent handle.We decided to clean the metal portion of the frame in our blasting cabinet, so we used the plastic from the new chrome window frame as a mask for both the blasting and painting. The metal is galvanized, so it cleaned very quickly. Then we sprayed it with semigloss black paint for a professional look.There are specific left- and right-side vent seals, so match up the new seal with the old one to ensure that you are installing the correct side.
With the new rubber pushed into the main chrome frame and into the horizontal portion of the tin frame, we installed the short-length vertical seal in the upright portion of the light metal frame by lining up the small metal tabs with the holes in the frame. Be sure to position the seal on the window side of the frame with the wider portion of the seal facing the interior. Now bend the tabs over with a flat screwdriver blade to secure the seal. Note how the tabs fit into those small recesses. There are actually four different ways this seal can fit, but only one way is correct. Ask us how we know . . .Don't forget to place the small metal washer and then the fiber washer on the upper portion of that U-shaped bracket. This is followed by the second fiber washer and second metal washer, which seats the spring, followed by the locking tab and the nut. Just lightly tighten the nut at this time.We began the final assembly by attaching the large chrome frame to the vertical upright with the two large Phillips-head screws. We placed the vent-window upper pivot pin in the chrome frame while carefully pulling the chrome frame up to meet the vertical metal frame. Bring the two frame halves together and attach them with the small Phillips-head screw at the top. As you can see here, there may be misalignment that will require some muscle to start that small screw. Once the small screw is in place securely (don't fully tighten it just yet), you can fasten the two larger screws at the bottom.We then set the door-glass window channel seal into the long vertical upright channel and removed the small Phillips-head screw long enough to put the top portion of the door-glass channel seal into place and reinstall the screw. The final step is to adjust the amount of preload on the vent window by tightening the small nut. Place just enough torque on the nut to keep the vent window open at freeway speed. Then bend the locking tab in place and you're done.

I've heard of some other paradoxes involving sets (ie, "the set of all sets that do not contain themselves") and I understand how paradoxes arise from them. But this one I do not understand.
Why is "the set of all sets" a paradox? It seems like it would be fine, to me. There is nothing paradoxical about a set containing itself.
Is it something that arises from the "rules of sets" that are involved in more rigorous set theory?
EDIT: I don't really have much of a background with Set Theory, so an answer that deals with common english would be much appreciated =)

Treatment Options for Possible Acanthomatous Epulis Tumor and Pleural Effusion
Lili Duda, VMD
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
Last year you answered a question regarding our 10-year-old setter male neutered dog regarding his diagnosis of a recurring Acanthomatous Epulis tumor in his mouth. In January of 1999, he had a rostral mandibulectomy performed. The pathology report after surgery showed clear margins.
He was doing just fine when he developed a cough earlier this year and then problems with vomiting. He has undergone many tests and it has been determined by fluid drawn from his lung cavity that he has a malignant tumor of epithelial origin. They also stated that it could be a primary or metastatic carcinoma or possibly a malignant mesothelioma.
After a long series of tests we still are not sure where the primary cancer may be or which of the above cancers it could be. Since the report states that it is of epithelial origin we are curious as to what the term "epithelial origin" means.
Is it possible that the Acanthomatous Epulis could have been the originating cause of this new cancer? Could the Acanthomatous Epulis tumor have been malignant and not show up at the time of biopsy and removal? Any clarification could help greatly.
We are also told there is no treatment for these types of cancersany commentshelp or direction would be appreciated.
Again Clancy's family thanks you.
Lili Duda, VMD, Editor of the OncoLink Veterinary Oncology Section, responds:
Dear P & S:
Acanthomatous epulis does not metastasize. There is a small possibility that the tumor diagnosed was actually something else, such as a squamous cell carcinoma, which does have some potential to metastasize. However, there are several reasons why this might not be the case. First, if I recall correctly, your dog Clancy had a recurrent tumor, and it was diagnosed as an acanthomatous epulis each time. Second, it has been almost two years since the primary tumor was removed, and in most cases metastasis would have shown up within the first year. Third, for a carcinoma of the head and neck, there is usually lymph node metastasis before or at the same time as lung metastasis.
Tumors fall into three basic types (please see article on Cancer terminology and symptoms).
- Epithelial, which are tumors that arise from the surface, lining, and glandular tissues of the body (skin, intestinal tract, any glands, gum and oral mucosa, etc.).
- Sarcomas arise from the connective and supportive structural tissues of the body (bone, cartilage, fibrous connective tissue, etc.).
- Round cell tumors include everything else (such as cancer of the blood cells, melanomas, etc.).
Treatment of a malignant pleural effusion (that is, fluid accumulation due to cancer) depends to a large extent on the tumor type. However, in most cases the prognosis is not good and treatment is considered strictly palliative. Systemic chemotherapy might help decrease the tumor burden and thereby slow down fluid accumulation. Intracavitary chemotherapy, in which chemotherapy is placed directly into the chest cavity, has been reported to help dogs with some types of tumors. Surgery to remove the cancer is only an option if a single mass is responsible for the symptoms, and is unlikely to be curative.
The side effects and costs (both financial and time investment) of treatment options must be balanced against the likelihood of success and expected duration of response. This analysis will be very dependent on each specific dog, veterinarian, and owner.
I wish you the best of luck with Clancy.

Are there any simple "experiments" that can be done in a high school science lab that could demonstrate some sort of basic principals of wormholes or spacetime? Or sort of proving how long something would take to get through a wormhole or why you wouldn't be able to travel through them etc.

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
My favorite explanation of something similar to a wormhole is this, from Madeline L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time
There's a bit more after this on dimensions, but it doesn't completely explain the issue (plus it uses some slightly wrong physics--it is, after all, a children's book)
You can do this explanation with a string. Then show them that a string (one-dimensional) had to be bent into a two-dimensional loopy thing.
Then, do the same thing with a piece of paper. Here, a 2D paper is bent into a 3D thing.
Now try to explain how this is possible in the real world--bending of 3D space into 4D spacetime in a loopy manner.
It would help if you explained the standard rock-in-a-rubber-sheet analogy of general relativity at first. Of course, I've seen this particular analogy lead to misconceptions/confusions frequently. But there's no way that I know of to explain it correctly without confusing the lot of them.

STEUBENVILLE - The city's Planning and Zoning Commission agreed Monday night to send a positive recommendation to City Council for the rezoning of the former Temple Beth Israel at 300 Lovers Lane that will allow the Tri-State Health Services Inc. to convert the building into a senior citizens center.
Council will vote on the rezoning legislation during next week's regular meeting.
The commission also agreed to amend the use unprovided for request to prohibit the sale of alcohol by any potential future owners of the property.
"There is overwhelming support in the community for a senior citizens center. We met with several area residents and their only concern is to prohibit establishments selling liquor or beer with a permit in the future. We have no problem amending our request to include that prohibition," said attorney Frank Bruzzese, who represented Tri-State Health Services at the commission's public hearing.
"I'm all for the senior citizens center, but I am looking down the road. We oppose any lodges or clubs who may want to move in there with a liquor license," said William Corella, who lives near the facility.
"We like the neighborhood and look forward to the senior citizens center there. We just have concerns about the future and there being a club selling beer there or a filling station," added resident Bob Martin.
Andy Pipo questioned the current condition of Lovers Lane and said there is no speed limit enforcement.
"I'm fine with the senior citizen center. But we have noticed an increase in traffic, particularly large trucks. It's becoming an issue on Lovers Lane and the street is a mess," noted Pipo.
Sanford Berman, president of the former temple, said the senior citizen center, "will be the Jewish legacy to Steubenville.
"I have been president of the temple for so many years that no one else wanted the job. Thank you for putting me out of a job," Berman declared.
Tri-State Health Services purchased the synagogue earlier this year and filed a request to rezone the property from R-1, a low density residential district, to B-2, a community commercial district.
Bruzzese said Tri-State Health Services plans to open the senior citizen center as soon as possible.
In other business Monday night, Urban Projects Director Chris Petrossi announced the city will receive $595,549 in 2013 Community Development Block Grant funds.
"That is a 5.1 percent increase from 2012 but still much less than past years," said Petrossi.
Petrossi said the proposed one-year action plan calls for $150,609 to be repaid to the city's recreation fund that provided money for the park and recreational facility security lighting projects.
"We have allotted $119,940 for street improvements and $125,000 for clearance and demolition projects. An additional $25,000 has been set for fair housing activities, $100,000 for code enforcement and a final $100,000 for general management, oversight and coordination," explained Petrossi.
"A copy of the 2013 one-year action plan will be available for public review beginning Friday at the Community Development Office in the City Building and at the Public Library of Steubenville and Jefferson County main library and Schiappa branch library," stated Petrossi.
