I'm a newbie using LyX and was wondering why when I put a standard paragraph after a *subparagraph it always renders the first standard paragraph after the *subparagraph on the same line?
That's the standard behaviour for subparagraphs: the text will start in the same line as the title, and the title will be indented by
Now, the title will be italicized and won't be indented; the text will start on a new line.
I, however, don't know how to implement this in LyX.
The Code works for lyx too, just add possibly the redefinition also for the paragraph
You have too add these lines to Document->Settings->LaTex Preamble Preview in lyx wont work, but the pdf output is just fine.

I'm asking about the cheapest bunk-bed or similar in a hostel in the world if only one traveller arrives to the hostel.
Well one website did an investigation into this, and found:
Garden Village Guesthouse in Siem Reap, Cambodia
Which has beds for US$1 per night.
To quote:
Cheapest I've come across anywhere in my travels was Utopia Guesthouse in Sihanookville, Cambodia. There you can stay in their dorm room for FREE (yup, costs nothing), or I think i paid $4 for a private room there.
Don't get much cheaper than that! it's a pretty fun place to stay too, if you're into the party-type vibe.
Actually, just looked them up, seems they charge $1 for a dorm bed these days. Inflation huh.

General Discussion
Scleroderma is a rare autoimmune connective tissue disorder characterized by abnormal thickening of the skin. Connective tissue is composed of collagen, which supports and binds other body tissues. There are several types of scleroderma. Some types affect certain, specific parts of the body, while other types can affect the whole body and internal organs (systemic). Scleroderma is also known as progressive systemic sclerosis. The exact cause of scleroderma is unknown.

Augustinian gems
Today is the feast of St. Augustine. One of the most exciting developments in study of the great bishop is the attention being given to his sermons often comparatively neglected in favor of his great works. (A new translation of all of them is being prepared.) Most of them werenot written out in advance and they have a freshness about them and often show him inter-acting with his congregation. Here are a few gems I have discovered over the past few years (translations mine).
[Of Christ] Life came down in order to die; bread came down in order to hunger; the way came down in order to be wearied on the journey; the spring came down in order to thirst.
[In an exhortation to prayer] Human laziness should blush with shame: God is more willing to give than we are to receive; he is more willing to show us mercy than we are to be freed of our miseries.
[Commenting on the words of the Psalm: "Magnify the Lord with me"] I dont want to magnify the Lord alone. I dont want to love him alone. I dont want to embrace him alone.
[Commenting on the Psalm verse: "Better is a single day in your courts than thousands of days"] Men desire thousands of days and greatly wish to live here. They should scorn the thousands of days; they should desire the single day, the day that has no sunrise and sunset, the single day, the eternal day, to which yesterday did not yield and which tomorrow does not press. We should desire that single day. What do we have to do with thousands of days? We are going from thousands of days to a single day.
[Of God]: Seeking, although lacking nothing.
He sought those who were not seeking him.
To a joyful person even a prison is wide, and to a sad person even a meadow is narrow.
Your soul will not die unless you choose to kill it.
Dont think that heresies can be created by small minds. Only great men make heresies.
You are more inward than my inward self. Within, in my heart, you have written a law by your Spirit, as if by your finger, so that I would no longer fear it like a slave without love, but would like a son love it with a chaste fear and fear it with a chaste love.
Grace achieves this: that commandments are kept out of love that could not be kept out of fear.
Every love has its own power. Love cannot be idle in the heart of a lover: it has to lead somewhere. Do you want to know what kind of love it is? See where it is leading.
Nothing is more difficult and nothing more admirable than loving ones enemies.
It is no small insight to know from whom to seek insight.
Dont be today what you were yesterday, and dont be tomorrow what you are today.

These are wonderful! They ought to be collected into a little booklet. I'd buy it, or at least bookmark this post. Thanks so much for sharing these.Not to detract from the obvious riches of the homilies, but I was trying to do research once for a Patristics class on the Tractates of John. Not only was St. Augustine hard to pin down on my topic (the temptation of Judas) but he very frustratingly, in a digression, introduced the very important topic of tripartite anthropology, asserted the existence of the spirit as distinguished from the soul--and then went back to his homily without explaining anything!It's not like you can ask him to elaborate over coffee and donuts...
Kathy,Spirit is an Hebraic notion, soul a Hellenic one. Augustine's draws on both traditions even though he mostly relied on Latin translations. In popular culture people often use the expression "body, mind and spirit" in, I guess, an attempt to be comprehensive. I am not quite sure what they are getting at with that triad. Perhaps "mind" is a Cartesian substitute for "soul".
Joseph:In French (and other languages, one would think) esprit means both mind and spirit. There may be something in what you suggest.But I think that the spirit/ soul distinction does bear consideration. Some time back, Fr. Komonchak kindly pointed me to de Lubac's posthumously published essay on Tripartite [body, soul, spirit] Anthropology, in *Theology in History.* The question of a human "spirit" seems to haunt the current Pope, who is of course an Augustinian. For example, in his first Advent homily as Pope, he noted the Sunday Advent Vespers reading from I Thess 5, which includes the most explicit of all the Scriptural discussions of this threefold theory of human nature:"...The hope expressed is that each one may be made holy by God and preserved irreproachable in his entire person -- "spirit, soul and body" -- for the final coming of the Lord Jesus; the guarantee that this can happen is offered by the faithfulness of God himself, who will not fail to bring to completion the work he has begun in believers...Before Christ who comes, men and women are defined in the whole of their being, which the Apostle sums up in the words "spirit, soul and body," thereby indicating the whole of the human person as a unit with somatic, psychic and spiritual dimensions. Sanctification is God's gift and his project, but human beings are called to respond with their entire being without excluding any part of themselves. " http://www.catholic.org/featured/headline.php?ID=2841I have heard that St. Augustine discusses this elsewhere (The Trinity?).
Kathy,Your last comment touched on the two references I was about to make.You may be familiar with the article by Moulins-Beaufort, "The Spiritual Man in the Thought of Henri de Lubac" in Communio (Summer1998). He stresses the importance of a tri-partite anthropology in de Lubac's thought.
Thanks very much, Fr. Imbelli, I haven't seen the article and am very happy to know about it.I would think that any study of this "spirit" would also rely on Romans 8.
I'm curious about exactly what text Kathy refers to as the "Tractates of John" -- the rather wonderful commentary on the Johannine Epistles, quaintly labelled ad Parthos?Not to be the rat at this very interesting discussion, but I thought (from no particular knowledge) that Augustine's sermons, aided by the major recent discoveries, were a scholarly hotbed, and the neglected area that has recently been getting attention was his commentaries -- a pattern that seems to be pretty common in several areas of scholarship.
I don't know what the "scholarly hotbed" is--there almost always are controversies over Augustine's thought. I don't know why one would distinguish between his commentaries and his sermons, since the commentaries were sermons and the sermons were on the Bible.The "Tractates on John" are the series of sermons on John's Gospel. He also has the commentaary on the Johannine Epistles, to which you refer.
Thank you, sorry, I misspoke: the Tractates on John.I'm not easily finding the passage I mentioned, but it sure is good to look through them again. I was in a class with two seminarians, a deacon and three young priests when we studied these. Probably a useful supplement to the ordinary homiletics curriculum.
Fr. Kononchak,I know remarkably little about theology, but do follow late antique studies to some extent, and Augustine's sermons do seem to have been put to a lot of use recently. I believe this is due in part to the new ones which contain some interesting material on slavery and capital punishment. Again speaking from ignorance I do have the feeling that one gets a sense of the audience from Augustine's sermons that is rather different from most patristic writers/speakers, and that that audience may be rather more diverse than is usually the case in most writing from classical antiquity. So I was speaking more almost of sociology than of studies of Augustine's thought per se.And I should have remembered that the "commentary" on the Johannine Epistles was a set of sermons, since he rather appealingly begins them with a discussion of what to preach about at the season.
Mr. O'Grady:What I love about the sermons is their spontaneous character. Obviously, Augustine prepared them, but he preached them, and they were recorded by stenographers so that they include his inter-action with the congregation when he sees that they don't understand or do, and agree with him, or look puzzled. Their Latin is of quite a different character than that of, say, Leo the Great, whose prose is chiseled-sharp and precise whereas Augustine's has the fluidity of a stream.
I like Augustine a great deal because of his mind and his spirit. Few individuals, as individuals, with all of their strengths and weaknesses, have had a greater impact on the history of Western thought. However, as is often the case in my encounter with great minds, my little mind often comes up confused or in disagreement.1) Only one of the cited texts is distinctly Christian, and, I confess I find it to be like many Christological texts: at first glance, very poetic and evocative; all other glances and even long viewings, incomprehensible.2) Love may be everlasting, but it is not eternal. As a further indication of my heretical nature (although, being of small mind, I only follow heresies, I do not create them), I do not long for the single day. Rather, I am grateful for as many days as I may have to love (even when the odds are that I will do a lousy job of it). I need no single day to follow these numbered days in order to take make them any more precious and grace-filled. Despite the denials of many theologians, I still conclude that longing for the single day of eternity is something of a barrier to following God in this world.3) Augustine is bang on regarding human laziness.
Actually, in context, all of these statements are Chrisian. I'm the one who pulled them out for aphoristic purposes.
Joseph: I have no doubt that they are all spoken within the context of Christian theology. Yet, as aphorisms, they appealed to my own adoptionist tendencies, and my theological impishness led me to point this out. Perhaps I should have resisted.
In my decidedly secular college, we had a year of seminar readings from the Bible and classic theological sources. Nobody liked St. Paul or Anselm, very few liked Aquinas or Luther. All the postmoderns loved the Confessions.
Kathy,I have nothing in principle against a tripartite anthropology provided it is possible to explain how the three components function and why three are both necessary and sufficient. (Plato actually propses a tripartite soul in the Republic.) But I think that the Hebraic duality flesh/spirit, which is especially prominent in St. Paul is difficult to integrate with the soul/body duality of Hellenic philosophy. Perhaps a quadripartite anthropology would be in order. However I suspect we really have two complementary dualities, each of which has its uses. Sometimes loose ends are prefererable to bogus integrity.
Fr. Komonchak's comments about Augustine's interactions with his congregation reminded me of how, in the words of Augustine biographer Peter Brown, Augustine, well known within Hippo, was "press-ganged" into the priesthood. So I went and looked up Brown's wonderful description of the event in his "Augustine of Hippo":"[I]n a sermon, the bishop, Valerius, spoke pointedly of the urgent needs of his church; the congregation turned to find, as they expected, Augustine standing among them in the nave; with the persistent shouting required for such a procedure, they pushed him forward to the raised throne of the bishop and the benches of the priests, which ran around the curved apse at the far end of the basilica. The leading Catholic citizens of Hippo would have gathered around Augustine, as the bishop accepted his forced agreement to become a priest in the town." Perhaps such conscription should be employed today to alleviate the shortage of priests. :)
Joseph: I can understand why you would hesitate to reduce these two distinct dual-nature theories into a triple-nature theory. I agree that they cannot be simply shuffled together. I think we also agree that the body vis-a-vis soul (Greek concept of body) has a richness of concept that would be lost if we simply replaced it with body vis-a-vis spirit (Hebrew concept of body), and vice versa. A simple answer wouldn't do here. We would lose some of the revelation.The project does seem reminiscent of those integrated gospels that people used to make, weaving the four to make a single narrative. It doesn't work. (Yves Congar talks about this in the front matter to I Believe in the Holy Spirit.)My sense, however, is that historically the Church too easily, for all practical purposes, forsakes one or the other duality, instead of maintaining them in tension.This would be one argument for trying the careful work of integrating the two dualities. I don't usually schematize in this way, but to speak very broadly, perhaps the Middle Ages held on to the Hebrew notion (only) while the current age holds on to the Greek notion (only). In other words, we usually seek human perfection, or theosis. Beethoven, or Byrd. Whereas God wants us to be fulfilled all around, in the completeness of perfection suggested by I Thess 5:23. I realize I'm speaking in individualistic terms rather than corporate, and I wonder if that's a reduction as well. It would be important to ask whether human spirit transcends the individual in a way that soul (which all Aristotileans know is the form of a material body suited to it) cannot.
William:Augustine's alter call seems to rank right up there with the Ignatian cannon ball that led a certain soldier from Loyola to read a few life altering books while in in recovery. Two momentous moments that would change the course of Christian thought and life.
Joe--I also find it ironic that Ignatius and Augustine were headed on self-chosen paths--Ignatius as a military leader, and Augustine, after his conversion, as a contemplative--until God reached out and shook their expectations out of them, much as He did when He transformed Saul into Paul on that road to Damascus.
Joseph:I think that the sinful "flesh" of e.g. Romans 8 is not the same as the temple-like "body" of e.g. I Cor 6:20. Perhaps there are 3 dualisms:flesh-spirit (Paul)body-spirit (Genesis-Job-Ezekiel-Hosea-Paul)body-soul (Greek philosophy)I think that the flesh-spirit dichotomy would be helpful for understanding "spirit" but not "body." At least not in a flesh = body sort of way.
Yves Congar has an article on the theme of the ordination of the unwilling in the tradition. He also has one on the canonical dictum: "No bishop should be imposed on an unwilling people."Odd, isn't it, that we have reversed things in modern times. We wouldn't think of ordaining a person who doesn't want to be ordained, and the wishes of the people don't enter into the selection of bishops.
Augustine was as complex as they come. It is impossible to read him and not be knocked off your socks as so many have claimed. Peter Brown, probably the best Augustine scholar, thought he had Augustine figured out until some previously unknown an unpublished manuscripts surfaced in the 1980's. So he wrote an epilogue to his epic book in 1997. One cannot describe Augustine in a couple of pages. He was busy, He could inspire. He was wrong on a number of substantial things.None worse that allowing Christians to use force or kill other Christians. Kind of stuff, Bush or Bin laden can quote to their own ends. A mistake for the ages indeed.
Bill, didn't somebody say that anyone who claims to have read all of Augustine is a liar?Fr. Komonchak:The dimensions of churches have changed considerably. Time was, you knew all the guys in your parish and you could tell which ones you wanted ordained. Time was, you knew who would make a good bishop.
As to the "ordination of the unwilling," Peter Brown also relates that the congregants saw tears in Augustine's eyes after he'd been press-ganged into the priesthood. Some of those present thought that Augustine was crying because he had not also been made a bishop, but the tears were actually tears of sorrow as Augustine remembered how he had maltreated priests in his youth. The brilliant Berber boy had taken delight in arguing with local priests and tying them up in philosophical and theological knots with his rhetorical skills. And though Augustine was a very complex individual, it's hard not to marvel how a young man from a backwater province in the Roman Empire rose to the great height of becoming the emperor's chief rhetorician, and, more importantly, a Doctor of the Church. Despite his stratospheric intellectual abilities, to which I could never hope to relate, it's hard not to identify with him, IMO, on the most basic human levels after reading the "Confessions."

State education officials are urging schools to compete for a national award that recognizes outstanding efforts in environmental impact and health.
The U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools award recognizes schools for reducing environmental impact and costs, improving the health of students and staff and teaching sustainability.
Three Kentucky schools won last year. They were Richardsville Elementary in Bowling Green, Georgetown Middle School in Georgetown and Rosa Parks Elementary in Lexington.
The Kentucky Department of Education says schools must send a letter of intent to the department by Feb. 1 to compete for the award.

James MacArthur made his stage debut at age 8 in a summer stock production of "The Corn is Green."
His breakout role was in the 1957 "Climax!" television series production of "The Young Stranger," in which he starred as the 17-year-old son of a movie executive who has a run-in with the law. He entered Harvard that same year, but dropped out in his sophomore year to pursue an acting career.
As a young actor, MacArthur appeared in the Walt Disney movies "Kidnapped," ''Third Man on the Mountain," ''Swiss Family Robinson" and "The Light in the Forest." He also had roles in "The Interns, "Spencer's Mountain," ''Battle of the Bulge" and "Hang 'Em High," as well as many guest roles on TV series such as "Gunsmoke."
He performed in many stage plays, including the lead role of Hildy Johnson in a 1981 production of "The Front Page," which was co-written by his father in the late 1920s, at the Stanford Community Theatre in Palo Alto, Calif. His live acting career won him the 1961 Theatre World Award for best new actor for his performance in "Invitation to a March."

Confessions of a slob: The 'Dust Cootie' revelation
Hello, my name is Sophia and I am a slob. Growing up, my parents affectionately (or not so much) referred to my bedroom as "the sanitary landfill," and rightfully so: the clothing, books, art supplies, action figures (the proud owner of the X-Men set) that covered the floor would often reach knee-height before I felt the urge to clean. Often, the desire would come in the form of parental units threatening house arrest until said room was tidied, but hey, whatever works. Ever since, my brother teases me quite fondly about my home design plans involving a flamethrower and a drain in my floor. In my defense, there is basis for my behavior that contributes to my slovenly ways. I'm easily distracted, impossibly disorganized, and I have a pretty high tolerance for chaos and clutter. Sure, I get stressed out about messes, but it doesn't really bother me until it's reached a point where I realize I haven't had guests over in the past three months because I am afraid I will lose them after they enter my domain. And as hokey and eyeball roll inducing as it may sound, being a slob made me feel rebellious. My parents, for the record, are not slobs. Growing up, we were expected to clean up after ourselves, do our own laundry and make our own dinner if mom or dad had to work late. Every Saturday was house-cleaning day where Brozilla and I were expected to divide the tasks of dusting, vacuuming, scrubbing and sweeping, which included our rooms and making our beds. Mommy and daddy were not keen on shoddy jobs either. They were wise to any tricks either of us might attempt in order to skirt around a chore thoroughly done. If you didn't do it right, you didn't receive a get-out-of-the-house free card to go hang with your friends over the weekend. So when I finally flew the nest and started living by myself, I went a wee bit crazy in my own domestic circle (sure, unwashed cereal bowl, you can stay the night). Also, I have always been very hesitant about the household dynamic between men and women. Men are expected to be messy and unpredictable. Women are expected to clean up after them. I saw so many women in my life spend their time and energy cleaning up after their husbands and boyfriends and nagging them about it; I swore to myself that I would never let that happen. I recall a time several years ago when I had been up since 2 a.m. witnessing the birth of a baby, then went home to boyfriend-at-the-time. All I wanted to do was soak the sight of vagina explosion away in a nice, warm bath, but the restroom was less than inviting in its clutter and crud. So, like any good Stepford Girlfriend, I said not a thing and began scrubbing the bathtub, sink and toilet while BATT watched a movie in the living room. Or at least I thought he was, until he came up behind me and started critiquing my cleaning technique. Never before have I been almost overcome with the insane urge to commit homicide by sponge. I made up my mind after that episode of "911 Calls Averted" that I was through being a mommy to anyone except the future Hell Spawn I might sprout. But back to the here and now: Once I'd decided to try my hand at cleaning, the question was how. My attempts at tidying up usually involved me burying myself in a pile of paper and knick-knacks and having a panic attack, so I called in reinforcements. I had my friend Katie come over and give me organizing workshops. I'm quizzing my neat freak friends about what it takes to maintain such a strange and foreign lifestyle. I'm religiously reading the copy of Organization for a Disorganized Person that my dad gave me for Christmas (finally found it the other day under the couch. Who would have thought?). Slowly but surely, I'm coming back from the Dark Side. Last week, for example, I cleaned the bathroom. Like, really cleaned it. I scrubbed the floors and the tub, sanitized the shower curtain, polished the mirror until even my reflection said, "Obsessive much?", and rearranged the medicine cabinet. And it turns out, June Cleaver was right--housework is its own reward. Don't tell the cooties that live in the corner (I have not the heart to kill them yet; they have names), but it feels good.

Recently we received help--a timber crew cut 3 new holes for the Monty. Unfortunately, they were also there to decimate Deer Ridge Woods because the county is in desperate need of funds. Wes, the park director, persuaded others that the course must stay and not be cut, and so far, the timber crew has honored this as best they can.
The results of this: One teepad (#11) was destroyed, but that's pretty easy to fix with a couple of logs and some painted rocks. The woods to the left of #13 (last hole in the "woods") is now an open area, with only a narrow band of trees separating the fairway from a sort of wasteland. The green for that hole is much more open. Basically, when before there was a major chunk of woods unused around any part of the course, now the trees in that area are mostly gone. They're a little ugly right now, those open areas, but they don't really change the course---at least as of the last time I was out there, though they weren't finished yet. I think maybe the vibe has changed a bit, but it's hard to tell. There's a lot more light on many of the holes in the former woods, and in many places you can see a lot further---I imagine that in future tournaments you'll see other groups on teepads more easily. I was out there and surprised by the wanton tree slaughter (with no disrespect to the needs of the county government) that it put me in a bad mood about it. But what I can say happily is the fact that the Monty Disc Golf Course is what saved a whole lotta trees, and for this credit goes to a bunch of folks. Namely, those that did the work and those that have repeatedly attended tournaments. Also, a recent surge in traffic is a big plus.
Nothing has changed with plans to "finish" the course except that they have been drastically sped up, since three of the longest fairways on the course suddenly exist and need attention. Currently I am focused on cleaning up new #6 and new #7, then dropping a pin on each. As a result, the holes that we play in the open will change, and it is likely that current #13 will be two holes again, but with some changes to the first of the two (The Woodpile Hole) to make it more formidable and to get the basket away from the teepad for the next hole (just across the OB logline).
After 6 and 7 are finished, then focus will be shifted to the holes behind current 10 green and coming back behind current teepad 11 (which actually doesn't currently exist, so I guess I need to get that done, too.) Once these two are cleaned up and pin-ified, then all baskets will be moved to the "woods" for a spell. In the mean time, I'd like to raise money for buying baskets for the open holes--at least some of them.
Wade Selph had a neat idea--to do away with current 14 and 16, and use the 14 placement for the 18th hole. Renumber the holes so that current 17--tee from the parking lot--is number one, then current 18 is number two, playing over 1000 feet to the current 14 green. Then you cut through the woods and play what is currently 13 short as number three, then current number 1 becomes number four. That way, the last hole ends up being the Trailer Hole, complete with signature mural. Not sure that we'll do this all that soon, but I'd like to hear from those that know the course how they feel about this possible layout.
I went back out yesterday, and they had indeed cut more. They are making a concerted effort not to change the holes themselves, but in several places already they have cut across a hole, in the process bringing down some trees. Also, the "Trailway to Seven" has been destroyed, and it looks completely different. It is pretty easy to get lost on the way to seven. No problem, though, 'cause I would really like to do some redesign there to eliminate the long walk.
Got a bit of cleanup to do. Don't come to the course right now; it's not so pretty and a little confusing.

To view the actual case size, Click Here.
Analog-Digital Display (ana-digi): Watch that shows the time by means of hour and minute hands (analog display) as well as by numbers (digital display).
Arabic Numerals: Popular counterpart to Roman numerals consisting of 1,2,3, etc; Became popular during the 18th century and typically allow for more space on the dial for complications.
ATM: Commonly used measurement in water resistance; Stands for "atmospheres" or the amount of pressure a watch can withstand before leaking; One atmosphere is equal to 10 meters of water pressure.
Automatic Movement: Type of movement where the mainspring is wound via the movement of one's own arm; Movement of the arm causes the rotor to rotate, which in turn winds the mainspring; Similar to mechanical movements, except winding is not manual.
Bezel: Retaining ring surrounding the case and securing the crystal; Sometimes incorporates unidirectional or ratcheting movements, as well as additional benefits such as chapter markers.
Case: Timepiece's container; Protects the movement from dust, dampness and injury; Common case shapes are round, tonneau, rectangular and square.
Chronograph: Timepiece capable of both timekeeping and stopwatch functions; Chronographs are a unique and valued complication due to their ability to measure increments of time.
Chronometer: High-precision timepiece that has been tested and is certified to meet precision standards; Chronometer watches often come with certificates indicating their certified status.
Complication: Any feature added to the timepiece that does not indicate hours, minutes or seconds. Popular complications include chronographs, tachymeters, date windows and exhibition backs.
Crown: Small, cap-like device located on the side of a case that allows the user to set time or manually wind watch.
Crystal: Transparent cover on a watch face that gives view of the dial; Sapphire and mineral are the most common crystals used today.
Date Window: Reveals the numeric day of a given month.
Deployant: Type of clasp that keeps the closing mechanism hidden, creating an uninterrupted look for your bracelet or strap.
Dial: Plate beneath the crystal showcasing the timepiece's features; Sometimes referred to as the face of a timepiece, the dial indicates hours, minutes and seconds, as well as complications such as date windows and sub-dials.
Dual Deployant: Similar to a deployant clasp, except it uses two hinges to fasten or open, as opposed to one.
Dual Time Zone: Timepiece that simultaneously gives time in two time zones.
Exhibition case: Unique complication wherein a crystal is implemented into the case back, allowing view of the timepiece's movement.
Greenwich Mean Time: Refers to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England where mean time is kept; Located at the prime meridian of the world, GMT is thought of as "the world's time".
Jewels: International term referring to the rubies, sapphires or other gemstones used as bearings in a watch movement; These bearings are set to reduce friction in a movement and help the delicate parts of the movement work smoothly and with great precision.
Mechanical Movement: Type of movement where the winding crown is used to power the movement; Needs to be manually wound after an elapsed period of time; Sometimes accompanied by a exhibition back to display its old-fashioned sensibilities.
Mineral Crystal: Technical term for glass; Standard crystal used in timepieces today.
Minute Repeater: Timepiece that sounds hours, quarters and minutes as requested.
Moon Phase: Complication on a timepiece that displays the various stages of the moon; Stages include new moon, first quarter, full moon and last quarter.
Mother-of-Pearl: Dial material that has been cultivated from the inside of certain shells; Provides an iridescent surface and gives timepieces a rich aesthetic.
Movement: Assembly making up the principal elements and mechanisms of a watch or clock; Includes the winding and setting mechanism, the mainspring, the train, the escapement and the regulating elements.
Perpetual Calendar: Complication that exhibits the days in a Gregorian calendar, the most common calendar used today; Automatically adjusts to months with different amounts of days in them.
Power Reserve: Time a watch will continue running based on the movement's residual winding of its mainspring; In quartz and digital watches, this can also refer to the amount of energy left in the battery.
Push Button Dual Deployant: Similar to deployant clasps, with the addition of two small hidden push buttons that spring your clasp open.
Quartz Movement: Most common type of movement used in modern timepieces; Vibrating at a high frequency and placed under an electric current, quartz movements provide accurate time without the need to wind.
Repeater: Complex watch mechanism that sounds hours, quarters or minutes, or repeats them on request; Originally designed to help the wearer to tell the time in the dark.
Retrograde: Hour, minute, second or calendar hand that moves across a scale and resets to zero at the end of its cycle.
Sapphire Crystal: High-end crystal that adds greater value to a timepiece; The only natural substance able to harm a sapphire crystal is a diamond.
Skeletonization: Cutting away unnecessary metal from the movement to allow the wearer to actually see through the movement; Any part that is not needed is carved out, leaving only the movement's skeleton.
Subdial: Smaller dials located on the main dial of a timepiece; Used to measure seconds, minutes or days.
Tachymeter: Popular complication that measures distance based on speed; Typically located along the outer rim of a dial.
Water resistant: Watches described as simply "water resistant" can handle light moisture, such as a rainstorm or splashes from a sink, but they should not be completely submerged in water for any length of time; A commonly used measurement in water resistance is ATM, which stands for "atmospheres" or the amount of pressure a watch can withstand before leaking. About Stainless Steel:
Also called corrosion resistant steel, stainless steel is a steel alloy with added iron and chromium. The metal is rust-resistant, durable and highly lustrous. It has a similar appearance to platinum and polishes to a glistening sheen. Any scratches that may occur from day to day wear can be easily buffed away without endangering the piece. Please note, however, if the stainless steel is plated with another metal, the plating can wear off if rubbed excessively against hard surfaces.
Stainless steel was first recognized in France in 1821 by metallurgist Pierre Berthier. After several corrosion-resistance related discoveries and patents in Europe and the United States, Harry Brearley in England discovered a modern blend of stainless steel alloy. When it was announced by The New York Times in January of 1915, he was officially credited with the invention of this impressive modern metal.

When browsed in IE6,the left part of each question is wrongly aligned,
how to fix it?
Don't tell me to abandon IE6,seriously.
Be technical,thanks.

migrated from stackoverflow.com Jan 6 '10 at 9:03
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Upgrading to IE8 will fix IE6 issues.
Just kidding (not really). I think Jeff Atwood has said that they will only support IE6 so far as guaranteeing that the content (text) will be displayed on the page, but they won't make any special IE6 formatting fixes, so you're stuck with bad formatting.
Responding to "be technical" and "Can you guys be more technical towards IE6?"...
Making the conscious decision not to bend over backwards to support a broken browser is a technical decision. It's all about pros and cons - bearing in mind that SO is a site for developers, I'd expect the browser distribution to be skewed towards modern browsers - whether that's newer versions of IE or other browsers such as Chrome and Firefox.
Jeff and the team have a limited amount of time on their hands: do you really think they should spend significant amounts of time trying to get a broken browser which isn't used by that many SO users to display SO decently - while trying to keep it working on working browsers of course - rather than spending time on features which benefit everyone?
Admittedly StackExchange probably changes this a little - I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Fog Creek could be spending more time on this, for example - but accusing people of not being "technical" just because they have made a decision you don't like isn't really going to help.
Rendering problems specific to Internet Explorer 6 are not going to be fixed.
From Podcast 65:
Well, seriously, even its creator refers to IE6 as 9 year old milk:
IE6 needs to be put down, there's really no avoiding it.
Developers need to stop supporting it, not as far as actively blocking it, but they need to communicate more clearly to users that "If you're still using IE6, any problems you have are your problems, not ours."
If you seriously want to avoid being told that you need to upgrade, then you seriously need to stop asking about IE6.
The only correct answer to your question is that you need to upgrade. People still on IE6 need to upgrade, the rest of the world should not suffer because of this.
If you think "it isn't much that needs to be done" then consider how many websites that probably have IE6-related layout problems, and how many man-hours that needs to be put into fixing things like this.
Personally, I would rather have the SO-team spend their time on far more important things (like fixing the minor problems left with markdown in some corner cases) than spending even 1 minute on trying to fix an IE6 problem.
If the only problem you have is a minor alignment problem, then I'd say that this IE6-problem shouldn't even be considered.
In fact, the time people here, me included, spend on giving you "answers", is probably more time than the issue deserve.
I understand that you're serious, and you probably cannot upgrade, for whatever reason (you don't say), but in reality you're just one guy, and even if we count all of the users still left on IE6, they will be a minority, and many of them could upgrade, so if we limit the discussion to all those that cannot upgrade, and want to use SO on IE6, having a minor alignment problem is a price you'll have to pay.
In contrast to everyone paying for it (time being taken away from things that will benefit everyone instead of a minority.)
So yes, you really should abandon IE6.
And don't forget about Opera.
Use chrome: http://www.google.com/chrome
Anyway, the site doesn't look that bad in IE6 anyway.
I also have to use IE6 from work machines. We are not allowed to upgrade and we are not allowed to use other browsers.

To the editor:
It is no surprise that the Indian Creek Local School District levy is back on the ballot.
As I read an information sheet, I felt sorry for those who are struggling to provide for their families and the senior citizens. Those under 65 would pay $12.63 a month and seniors would pay $9.47. Do you realize that amount might help pay for food on their table, a prescription or a heating bill instead of being spent on a $22 million bond (for a state-of-the-art school) that will burden you for 37 years?
Remember, voters, after the kids graduate and move out of the area, you'll still be paying for this facility for many years.
Folks, all this extra money is being wasted on upgrades to parking lots, renovations to a stadium and, get this, hiring an outside consultant to help get this levy passed.
Get serious, people, and read between the lines. A head tax is the way to go.
Please don't waste our money.

Kent Historical Society party a success
On behalf of the Officers and Trustees of the Kent Historical Society, I would like to thank everyone who once again made our annual Christmas party at the Swift House such a great success.
Our two rooms were packed to overflowing with old friends and new faces. Many people brought their favorite homemade goodies to share, and the Fife & Drum and J.P. Giffords each donated beautifully presented platters of tasty treats. Their generosity is much appreciated.

Transition Hendersonville to screen 'Microcosmos'
Published: Friday, March 8, 2013 at 11:52 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 8, 2013 at 11:52 a.m.
Transition Hendersonville will host Wednesday movie night from 6 to 8 p.m. March 20 at Black Bear Cafe, 318 Main St., Hendersonville, N.C.
The movie will be "Microcosmos," a 1996 documentary directed by two French filmmakers who chronicle life in a French meadow.
Utilizing special macroscopic photographic techniques, filmmakers Claude Nuridsany and Marie Perennou created this visually spectacular look at the hidden worlds in the life cycle of an ordinary meadow in France. When seen through the lens of Nuridsany and Perennou's cameras, insects become gigantic beasts, blades of grass turn into towering monuments, and raindrops form puddles that resemble vast oceans.
Microcosmos was a multiple prize winner at the 1996 French Academy of Cinema Awards; the American release version features narration by actress Kristin Scott Thomas. The film is family-friendly. The movie night is free.
Email firstname.lastname@example.com or transition firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

text: Vermouth is a fortified wine aperitif, flavoured with herbs, spices, barks, and flowers. There are various brands of vermouth produced in both Italy and France, and the flavors can be added through infusion, maceration, or distillation. The name "Vermouth" itself derives from the German "Wermut" (Wormwood, and ingredient in Vermouth).The original version of Vermouth that was used in cocktails was from Italy, and is what we often refer to today as Sweet Vermouth. Thus any cocktail recipes you might find prior to 1900 which simply listed "Vermouth" as an ingredient, were intended to use Sweet Vermouth. Eventually the French (dry/white, as opposed to sweet/red) version of Vermouth started making its way into cocktails, and so recipes would differentiate between the two by specifying "Italian Vermouth" or "French Vermouth". Since most vermouth manufacturers today make both types of vermouth, it is more approriate to refer to them as Sweet Vermouth (Italian/Red) and Dry Vermouth (French/White).

Only three of his children are named in Tanach: his successor Rechavam, and two daughters named Tafath and Basemath, who married two of Shlomo's officials (I Kings 4:11,15).
R. Chaim Dov Rabinowitz (Daas Soferim) comments that it seems likely that Shlomo had 100 children or less (which would of course mean that most of his wives were childless), since in Eccles. 6:3 he speaks of that number as a peak of human potential.

Petros C. Mavroidis
International Trade
Professor Petros C. Mavroidis recently completed a casebook that takes a whole new approach to understanding the complex inner workings of the World Trade Organization
A leading expert on the World Trade Organization (WTO), Professor Petros C. Mavroidis has authored or edited nearly two dozen books—but ask him about his most recent publication, and the professor's eyes light up with pride. Mavroidis holds up a finger, hurries out of the room, and returns with a hefty tome titled The Law of the World Trade Organization. Written with Columbia Law School Professor George A. Bermann and academic fellow Mark Wu, the casebook took five years of work and is informed by 10 years of teaching experience.
That the publication took so many years to compile comes as no surprise, considering the sheer size of the 5-pound book. But the breadth of the casebook was not the only factor that necessitated such a significant investment of time: Mavroidis began the project with the desire to challenge the basic approach of such books.
"I had questions about the approach of most casebooks," says Mavroidis, the Edwin E. Parker Professor of Foreign and Comparative Law. "[When I first started this book,] I asked myself, 'What is the function of a casebook? What do we want to achieve?' I think of myself all the time as a student." The result of the introspection was a casebook that not only answers the "how" of the WTO's legal regimes and institutions, but also provides the "why" behind their existence.
Mavroidis explains that, unlike typical casebooks that examine topics from a range of angles, chapters in The Law of the World Trade Organization are uniformly structured. Each section details the economic rationales behind an institution or law, as well as how it has been received by essential WTO jurisdictions. Finally, every chapter concludes with a corresponding questions and comments section. The casebook uses this structure to break down complex issues such as the trade organization's dispute settlement system and the protection of intellectual property rights. For the questions and comments section, Mavroidis drew many of the queries from those his students posed in trade law classes he has taught over the years.
Mavroidis' interest in the WTO took hold with the realization early in his career that "everything affects trade," he explains. "Trade is one of the fruits of international relations. It signals that the country is willing to be more, or less, cooperative than it has to be. I believe in the power of economics and of law." Mavroidis is currently working with five experts on a report for the American Law Institute that will update 60 years of WTO case law.
A native of northern Greece, Mavroidis was on academic leave for the spring semester, though he often travels to New York City from his home in Switzerland. This allows him to remain well connected to the Columbia Law School community, and he is already planning for the fall semester, when he'll return to teaching. This September, with the help of Professor Benjamin L. Liebman, Mavroidis will host a 13-week seminar at the Law School on the relationship between China and the WTO. Academics, diplomats, and high-ranking officials will examine China's role within the trade organization, as well as how participation in it has shaped Chinese domestic policies.
For his part, Mavroidis is hesitant to come to a definite conclusion on how the country has affected the organization, and vice versa. He notes that China only joined the WTO nine years ago, a comparatively short amount of time in the context of the organization's history. "China has arguably made the effort to adopt Washington consensus-type policies by joining the WTO," Mavroidis ventures, "and China realized they could use the WTO to bring their national bureaucracies up to date. [Joining the organization] was an important signal of administrative reform."
Until he returns for the fall semester, Mavroidis will continue to explore the effect trade has on nearly every aspect of international relations. He is currently composing articles about how trade relations might shape the future of the Kyoto Protocol, for instance.
All the while, Mavroidis manages to travel extensively to and from Switzerland, where the doting father spends time with this wife and three young daughters. Dividing his time between family and career, as well as the U.S. and Europe, seems to come naturally for the boisterous professor, though. Gesturing at his enormous casebook on the WTO, he explains simply and with a smile: "This is my fun time. It's not 9-to-5 work."
